Queen Flower
Chapter 121: Chamber of Secrets
Jiang Lan entered Liuxianju again and immediately asked Lan Sheng about it.
Shopkeeper Luo sighed, "Those knife marks are real, the others are fake."
Jiang Lan was very sad, "I thought it was a disguise." She remembered that he was also a handsome young man. Although he had offended her, he was really loyal to Chu Qingcheng. Speaking of which, when he knocked down her hat to embarrass her, it was just a prank by a young man, and she was annoyed for a long time because of this.
"Where did so many masters of disguise come from?" Shopkeeper Luo looked at Jiang Lan's face and said, so only this girl is lucky, her life can be changed, her face can be changed, she was the one who was imprisoned, but in the end she was the only one who could survive. At ease. He wiped his face and took away all the negative emotions. It is useless to be angry and resentful. This is the new head of the family, and the son still needs her rescue. Lan Sheng said that yesterday she still wanted to rob prison alone, which was considered a part of her heart.
"I won't come again in the near future, so as not to arouse suspicion, you can contact me again if you have anything." After Jiang Lan finished speaking, he thought about it and said, "I met the young master Zhuang of the Chu family in Nanman, if we If you want to do business with Nanman, go to him to cooperate, but don't talk about me. You can discuss this with the elders first, I don't have the energy to deal with these things now."
Now that the Chu family was handed over to her, she would also do her best, even though she was not really talented in this area.
Shopkeeper Luo nodded. The Chu family needs to survive and develop. Because of Chu Qingcheng's prison disaster, the Chu family has indeed been greatly affected, and it cannot be recovered in the short term. It is also a good thing to expand the business routes.
Jiang Lan returned to the Shen residence and wandered around the house. How could he successfully enter the outer study? There is Chang Tiger at night, and there is no chance for people to come and go during the day. If there is a stealth technique, it would be great, why not give her special abilities? Forget it, it was fantastic, she laughed at herself.
Is there any way to make Shen Qun not in the mansion? According to the usual practice, this tiger is usually close to Shen Qun for personal protection. Unless Shen Qun is not in the mansion, the tiger will be there.
Jiang Lan is really powerless at this point, and can only wait for the opportunity.
Fortunately, within two days, an accident happened at Jiangzhou Camp, and Shen Qun had to go there immediately. Jiang Lan estimated that he would not be able to come back until tomorrow at the earliest, so he made a decision in his heart.
And Xia Henqiu's body, in the past few days of training, has officially begun to basically recover. Therefore, some local officials began to move after getting the news. For the first time, they posted an invitation to Xia Henqiu to attend a dinner party to celebrate him. Physical recovery.
In fact, Xia Henqiu's current position is very strange. The emperor has not clearly restored his position as prime minister, so he is still a minor official, at most an envoy who has successfully completed his mission. Well, he didn't refuse, it was just a sham and a coward. This is the officialdom, and he is well versed in the way of officialdom, so even if the upright officials in the court can't see it, there is nothing to do with him, even when he is demoted as a patrolman. When he was an official, he did not dare to attack from behind.
"Are you going with me?" Xia Henqiu looked at her and asked.
Jiang Lan shook her head with a sullen expression, "I'm not in the mood, I hate that kind of banquet." She lowered her face, "And I'm not in this mood, I'm upset."
Xia Henqiu looked at her with tangled eyes, "You are my maid, naturally you have to wait by my side." He knew what she wanted to do, so he couldn't leave her here alone.
"I'm very tired, I want to rest." Jiang Lan refused, the move of carrying a maid is useless to her now, "I won't mess around, don't worry."
Xia Henqiu looked at her face suspiciously, studying her expression carefully, "I hope you keep your promise." He grabbed her shoulders tightly, "Wait for me to come back, promise me."
Jiang Lan had to nod in agreement.
She refused to accompany her to attend. In the end, Xia Henqiu had to go with Xia Zi. Before leaving, she once again warned her not to act rashly. When he came back, he would definitely go back quickly.
It was night, the moon was dark and the stars were scarce, Jiang Lan waited for the best time. Although she repeatedly promised that she would never go out alone at night, she decided to break her promise and wait for me.
She was dressed in black, with her braids on her head, and her face covered, only her eyes were exposed, and she set off when she was ready. The window of her room was always open, so this time she sneaked out without making a single sound.
She came to the roof of the opposite building with a good waist and familiarity. As usual, she threw a small stone and went out to explore the way. There was no movement for a while. It seems that Chang Huo is really not here.
Jiang Lan made up her mind, without the tiger guarding the gate, today's event would be half done, and she jumped down.
Under the dim moonlight, I saw a slender and flexible black shadow standing in front of the door of the outer study with a swish.
Jiang Lan's subordinates exerted force, twisted the door lock, carefully pushed open a crack in the door, then ducked in, and then closed the door.
In the silent night, there was only a very faint sound when the door was opened, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't tell the difference. Jiang Lan looked around. It was still the same as what he had seen before. The space was not very spacious and there were a lot of things. There were desks and chairs on one side, couch on the other side, and round tables and seats on the other side. The bookshelves against the wall were very large. It's big, with a lot of books on it. It seems to be very big from the outside, why is there always a sense of cramped inside, is it because of the lot of furniture?
Jiang Lan began to investigate. She didn't dare to make a sound, so she moved slowly. In fact, she couldn't be sure of her guess, but if Shen Qun was really the murderer, then the answer must be in this study.
She rummaged through the drawers and even opened the books one by one, but when she went to get a book again, she suddenly found that the book could not be taken off.
Jiang Lan's mood was agitated for a while, she held down her heart, turned the book, and heard a slight "kata" sound in her ear, and the bookshelf turned outwards, revealing a very narrow vacancy. Jiang Lan put his hand on the wall behind the bookshelf, and with a little force, the wall opened. It turned out that it was a door.
Jiang Lan dodged and entered the door. In the darkness, she couldn't see her fingers, and she couldn't see anything. After a while, her eyes got used to it. There seemed to be a table in front of her, and there were oil lamps on the table. She groped and lit the oil lamp, and with the dim light, she found that it was a rectangular space with a good length but a narrow width.
Jiang Lan focused her search. There was no other furniture in this room except the desk. She opened the drawer and saw a large stack of letters. She opened one of them and looked at it. Look.
She wiped the sweat on her forehead, and then found that there seemed to be a square box under the letter, which made her feel intimacy for no reason. She put down the letterhead, took out the box and opened it, and the joy filled her heart. It almost made her want to jump up and cheer.
This is a golden leaf, with a slightly curved arc, clear veins, and lifelike lines, as if the real leaf surface was rubbed and printed, just like a leaf specimen caught in a book page when I was a child. It's the right chord!
She took the leaf out and held it in the palm of her hand, and a familiar warm air flow was slowly introduced into her body, along the meridians of her arm to her dantian, and then spiraled out and wandered around her body. She was happy that it was time for her to become a Super Saiyan, albeit for a short time.
Suddenly, Jiang Lan felt that the airflow around her had changed. A cold, gloomy aura wrapped around her neck, like a poisonous snake spitting out a red letter. She looked up.
A man in black stood at the door, his face covered, only his eyes and nostrils were exposed, he stood there, exuding coldness from head to toe.
The man in black again.
No wonder that such a secret place is guarded by Chang Hu alone. It turns out that there are people watching secretly, and he does not show up until the critical moment.
Jiang Lan's pupils shrank violently, his hands and feet were a little stiff, and fear emerged in his heart, which was quickly replaced by a burst of courage. She is not the cowardly Jiang Lan who was on the mountain back then, and she still has the energy of the right string leaf. Now she should be Jiang Lan when the martial arts were the strongest.
The man didn't speak, and slapped her with a palm. The speed was fast, the strength was strong, and there was no ambiguity. He was definitely ready to take her down with one move. Jiang Lan felt that there was a force coming from the sky, forcing her. Out of breath, she mustered up her courage, gathered her inner strength and energy, and raised her palms to greet her.
There was a loud "bang", and the air flow flew, and the two stepped back a few steps, both leaning against the wall and panting. Unexpectedly, the other party was so powerful. Even with the vigorous replenishment of energy, Jiang Lan felt that he was not his opponent. She only felt that her chest was stuffy, and she was about to rush out a mouthful of blood. She was immediately pressed down, and her mouth was full of blood.
The man in black did not expect that the enemy would be so powerful. It seemed that the opponent was thin and very like a woman, but even so, he went all out and did not underestimate the enemy. Now he only felt his arms go numb, his whole body was surging with blood and energy, and the black cloth on the corner of his lips was slightly wet, and it turned out to be a serious internal injury.
The dim room suddenly lit up, and the smell of flame wafted in the air. It turned out that the oil lamp on the table was shaken by the airflow from their palms just now. Sparks rolled the lamp oil and ignited the stationery and the wooden table, and now it started to burn violently.
Jiang Lan didn't know that the other party was injured, she felt that she was not his opponent, not to mention that the energy had been used up, and she had to rely on her true strength to fight against him, that was a joke.
So when she saw the flames rising, she grabbed a letter and ran away. Her light skills are top-notch, and she was not seriously injured, and she actually ran out of the secret room before the man in black.
She quickly ran out of the door of the study and fled with light effort.
The man in black reacted and started chasing. At this time, the flames burned out of the secret room, burning the books on the bookshelf, and the entire outer study began to burn.
"Get out of the water, put out the fire quickly." The chaos was unusual for a while, and the servants began to pour out to put out the fire.
