Chapter 478 Co-author Are you looking for an enemy?
"Orchids that are not suitable for Qinchuan's climate appear in Qinchuan, and it must take a lot of effort to cultivate them." Zhou Ji thought for a moment, then looked at Fang Ruqin and said, "Miss Ruqin, do you know where to find such orchids in Qinchuan?" Is it? Or is there anyone in the town who likes to grow orchids?"
Fang Ruqin shook his head and said hesitantly: "I have never seen it before, but I heard that Sun Yueyan, Miss Sun's family, likes orchids very much, and has planted many varieties. We can ask her."
Sun Yueyan?
Zhou Ji's expression changed when he heard the name, and he inadvertently glanced at the heartless Fang Lansheng. Fang Lansheng thought hard, tilted his head and said, "Could it be that the flower picker went to Sun's house to pick orchids? It's not right? What if the flower picker went to her house?" , how could she be fine?"
Thinking of this, Fang Lansheng hammered his palm, gossiped with his eyes shining: "I see! It must be because she is not good-looking, that flower picker is not interested just by looking at it."
Fang Lansheng didn't pay attention to Fang Ruqin's serious analysis, and before he could finish speaking, two slender jade fingers skillfully found the earlobe, and then twisted, lifted and pulled, and there was a burst of murder from the courtyard. Howling like a pig.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
"Now you know it hurts? Let you talk bad things about others!" Fang Ruqin relaxed a little, gouged him out and said, "Miss Sun's body is weaker, but she is also a rare beauty. How can you be like this? Speaking of others?"
Fang Lansheng broke free from his clutches, and pulled his ears a few times aggrieved, "You haven't seen her before, how do you know whether she is beautiful or ugly?"
"Okay, Miss Ruqin, Lan Sheng, don't argue." Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Anyway, we have to go to the Sun's house to find Miss Sun's news about Suxin Zilan. Let Lan Sheng do it?"
"Me?" Fang Lansheng was dumbfounded, and pointed at himself with surprise on his face.
"Well, what else?" Zhou Ji nodded, and said as a matter of course, "If you doubt Ms. Sun's appearance, then I will give you a chance to see it? Let you be both a referee and a contestant. Whether you are beautiful or ugly is up to you confirm."
Fang Lansheng glanced at the crowd, and found that Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue were not responding to Zhou Ji's eyes. He felt a little bit in his heart, and said weakly, "I'm going alone?"
"Miss Sun has lived in the boudoir for a long time, and our group of people will inevitably be nervous when we go there. It is easier to talk to you when you go alone." At this point, Zhou Ji asked in surprise: "Are you afraid?"
"Afraid? I am a majestic future swordsman, how could I be afraid?"
Please generals are not as good as aggressive generals. Fang Lan was born with a young heart, and was provoked by Zhou Ji's words, and immediately patted her chest and said proudly, "You wait, I will go to the Sun's house to find Sun Yueyan!"
Fang Lansheng took a few steps, then came back angrily, stopped in front of Feng Qingxue and stretched out his hand, "Give me the flowers."
Feng Qingxue held back her smile and handed Suxin Zilan to Fang Lansheng. She covered her mouth and laughed when she saw him walk away.
The top priority right now is to catch the flower picker as soon as possible. We can't just wait at home for news from Fang Lansheng.
After Fang Lansheng left, Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue decided to visit the families that had encountered flower pickers before, to see if there were Suxin Zilan left behind.
Feng Qingxue chased Baili Tusu all the way to find this place, and finally got a chance to be alone for a while, and Zhou Ji would not be able to act as a light bulb.
Walking on the streets of Qinchuan, Feng Qingxue suddenly remembered something, stopped and said: "Oh, I almost forgot to tell Sister Hongyu about finding Big Brother Zhou Yi!"
"Sister Hongyu?"
Feng Qingxue explained while sealing the transfiguration communication talisman, "Didn't the Master Teacher and the others always suspect that Big Brother Zhou Yi is a ghost-masked man? So I asked Sister Hongyu to find Big Brother Zhou by the way and confirm his identity."
With the gathering of spiritual power, the colorful butterflies turned into colorful streamers and flew towards the sky. On the coast of the East China Sea, thousands of miles away, in the territory of Yuzhou, a woman in red clothes as bright as fire floated in a forest. The scenery is quite familiar, and the forest that should have been passed through tomorrow seems to have returned to the original point in a circle.
A cluster of flickering flames lit up in the depths of Ruby's eyes. His eyes swept across the nearby tree trunks, and landed on a crescent moon mark that was deliberately left by someone.
Hongyu raised her head slightly, her mouth raised into a disdainful smile, her right arm was lifted up, her fingertips seemed to pick up something in the void, and slowly stretched back.
The devilish air followed the trajectory of the fingertips, and gathered into a spiritual arrow burning with red flames, and shot into the depths of the mountain forest with a whoosh~.
I saw a translucent barrier being pierced and torn by spiritual arrows the moment it emerged, and there was a rustling sound from the bushes in the distance, as if something had been disturbed.
Ruby’s figure disappeared in a flash, and a head covered by a tree branch quietly protruded from the bushes, looking around curiously.
Didn't see anyone, Qiu Xinrui finally felt relieved, threw away the two branches in her hand, turned around to leave, and suddenly found a cold and beautiful woman in red standing behind her at some point.
"Ah~" Qiu Xinrui cried out in shock, took half a step back, subconsciously raised her sleeve to cover her face, and muttered a few incoherent curses.
At first, Hongyu thought it was the formation barrier set up by the woman in front of her. After looking up and down, she realized that the other party was just an ordinary person. It seemed that she was just trapped in the forest by the barrier.
After waiting for a long time before the red-clothed evil spirit could make a move, Qiu Xinrui glanced behind her sleeve quietly, saw Hongyu turning to leave, gritted her teeth, and followed.
Feeling that someone is following her, Hongyu paused, turned her head slightly and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"I'm a little scared~ But you are so beautiful, and you helped me break the barrier. I believe you must be a good person, no, you are a good ghost." Qiu Xinrui glanced at the shadow beside her, and then at Hongyu's side It was empty, and I forcibly looked away, not daring to look again.
"I broke the barrier because the barrier blocked my way, not for you." Hongyu said lightly, "Also... I'm not a ghost."
"I'm sorry." Although Qiu Xinrui didn't know that the other party was not a ghost, why there was no shadow, but since the other party said so, she had no choice but to believe it.
Hongyu turned around and continued walking, stopped after walking for a while and said, "What are you following me for?"
Qiu Xinrui moved forward a few steps, and said tentatively: "I'm here to find my fiancé. I've been looking for him for a long time, and I was hunted down all the way. Then I came here, but I was trapped in the mountains and couldn't escape. , since the girl can open the enchantment, she must be very powerful, can you take me to my fiancé on the way?"
"Where is he?"
Noticing Hongyu's eager eyes as if she had found an organization, Qiu Xinrui was a little confused.
Chou Xinrui pointed to the front and said, "His name is Zhuo Yunfei, and he lives in Yushan not far from here!"
As soon as the word "fiancée" was mentioned, Qiu Xinrui seemed to be a different person, holding her heart in both hands, she was full of energy, and she talked endlessly: "He used to be a knight-errant, with outstanding literary talents, extraordinary martial arts, and he was gentle and considerate to me, and he cared for me. , My name is Qiu Xinrui, girl, what's your name?"
Hongyu smiled and said, "Hongyu."
"A person lives up to his name, and it really is a good name."
Qiu Xinrui has a carefree personality, with a chivalrous spirit that is rare among women in the world. Hongyu gets along with her all the way and quickly becomes friends.
Especially in the aspect of 'finding someone', the two have a natural common topic, and Qiu Xinrui is no longer afraid of the fact that Hongyu has no shadow. Knowing that she is also looking for someone, and has been looking for hundreds of years, Qiu Xinrui is shocked .
Seeing that it was getting late, Hongyu hunted some wild game for dinner in the forest. Qiu Xinrui told the story of her and Zhuo Yunfei while playing with the bonfire.
Three years ago, she and Zhuo Yunfei met in the other courtyard of a large family. At that time, it was the hibiscus flower season. The two met for the first time in the hibiscus garden, and they fell in love at first sight.
"Later, before we got engaged, our family moved to our hometown in Gusu. It wasn't until last month that I overheard from my parents that he lived here in Yushan, so I sneaked out to look for him."
"Have you not had any contact with your fiancé in the past three years?" Hongyu frowned slightly, and heard various loopholes in Qiu Xinrui's words, such as why their family moved out of Yecheng suddenly, why did Qiu Xinrui follow her? Parents heard about Zhuo Yunfei's whereabouts
Chou Xinrui pursed her lips in a depressed mood, "Our family was targeted by former enemies, so my parents never allowed me to go out. On the day I moved, I went to the agreed place to look for him, but he was not there. After moving to Gusu , I never saw him again."
Chou Xinrui took a deep breath to adjust her mentality, and became cheerful again, "Sister Hongyu, what about you? How did you meet the person you are looking for?"
"I met him on Buzhou Mountain" Hongyu recalled the past more than a thousand years ago, everything was vivid in his mind, as if it just happened yesterday.
"Later he said he would take me to find my brother, but he missed the appointment and was eight hundred years late."
Hongyu swept away her depressed mood, flicked her sleeves, stood proudly, paranoid and decisive: "Although he didn't do it on purpose, although he sincerely apologized to me and gave me the wide-sleeved Liuxian skirt that I want most, although he In the end, I found my brother. Although Xiaokui forgave him, I didn’t forgive him, and I don’t intend to forgive him either!”
"Never intend to forgive!"
"Ah? Are you looking for an enemy?" Qiu Xinrui shrank to the side and looked at the fiery red clothes beside her, who seemed to burn everything with enthusiasm, and said a little dumbfounded.
"Ah Choo~"
In Qinchuan, thousands of miles away, Zhou Ji sneezed subconsciously, with an inexplicable chill in his heart.
It was getting late, and Fang Lansheng and Baili Tusu Fengqingxue, who were out on the action, returned to Fang's house to sort out the information they had collected during the day.
Seeing Zhou Ji suddenly sneezed, Fang Lansheng clubbed Baili Tusu's arm, and said in a low voice, "Tusu Tusu, can immortals also sneeze?"
How could such mutterings escape Zhou Ji's ears? Zhou Ji rubbed his nose, glanced at Fang Lansheng, and said with a half-smile, "Lan Sheng, what did you gain from the Sun's house?"
Fang Lansheng's face was pale, and he said with a mournful face: "Oh, Brother Zhou, you should forget about it soon. You don't know. There are monsters in their house!"
"The flower picker is a monster?!" Baili Tusu said with a serious expression on his face.
"What flower picker? I'm talking about the nanny next to Sun Yueyan. It's really scary." Fang Lansheng shuddered, looked at Feng Qingxue with a mournful face, and said, "If I knew it, I would have asked Qingxue to accompany me. At least A female companion, she will not interrogate my intentions like a prisoner."
"Okay, let's talk about the business." Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing, "What does Sun Yueyan look like? Is it beautiful or ugly?"
"What kind of business is this??"
Fang Lansheng complained, his eyes drifted and dodged, he stroked the sapphire Si Nanpei, faltering, and his voice became lower and lower: "If you want to say ugly? It's not ugly, but if you want to say beautiful. It's quite beautiful."
"But I did find someone suspicious!" Fang Lansheng suddenly raised his voice, and solemnly brought the topic back, "The Sun family planted more than a dozen pots of Suxin purple orchids, and when Sun Yueyan took me to the garden, I found that there were few of them. One pot, the flower servant told us that he made that pot of Suxin purple orchid into a sachet and prepared to give it to Sun Yueyan."
"If the Suxin purple orchid left at the scene is indeed from the Sun family, then this flower servant is very suspicious." Feng Qingxue frowned slightly, raised her chin and said, "Susu and I visited the place where the flower picker met before. Miss Lin happened to keep a plant in those families, how does the flower servant you saw look like?"
"It's extremely ugly!" Fang Lansheng said decisively and without hesitation, "That man has a hunchbacked body, a large birthmark on his face, and several moles. He is so ugly that he couldn't be more ugly."
Baili Tusu hesitated and said: "It's just that Miss Lin said that the man was handsome, and sister Ruqin said that the flower picker was both handsome and ugly. What's going on?"
"Anyway, as long as you are sure that the flower picker is using Suxin Zilan to cast spells, you will definitely be able to catch the flower picker if you guard the Sun family." Zhou Ji smiled, "The flower picker failed last time, maybe they will attack Miss Ruqin , please trouble Lan Sheng to go to the Sun’s house tomorrow, remember to be careful, and don’t make Hua Pu suspicious.”
"It's me again?" Fang Lansheng resisted, "Why don't you let Qingxue go? She is a woman, so it must be more convenient than me."
It's too late, Zhou Ji knew Fang Lansheng's character, the more he forced, the more rebellious he became, so he didn't force him to go to Sun's house, but turned to look at Feng Qingxue and asked her opinion.
Feng Qingxue was quick-witted and intelligent, vaguely aware that Zhou Ji wanted to match Lan Sheng and Sun Yueyan, so after a little thought, she agreed.
It's just that when I go to Sun's house tomorrow, I still have to ask Fang Lansheng to make an extra trip and take her to meet Sun Yueyan so that he can introduce her identity.
Baili Tusu will stay on the outskirts of the Sun's house when he arrives, secretly observing whether any suspicious persons approach the Sun's house; Zhou Ji will stay at the Fang's house to prevent the flower pickers from getting flustered and directly stealing the house.
