Strange Tale of Qingluan

When dusk comes, the winner will be decided.

Yu Jia picked up the record made by Bao Qin, looked at her own results, and couldn't help sighing.

Just a piece of paper...

If I had been careful just now, it might have fallen into the bottle...

Su Zhongming stood beside him, didn't sit down, just bent slightly, took a pen and started to write on the white paper, then put down the pen after a while, and said before the ink was dry, "I've finished writing, you can write in the blank space." Sign it."

Yu Jia put down the paper in her hand, bowed her head to read every word and every word of the IOU on the case, and then hesitated.Even though there were no words or phrases that would harm Yu Jia in the content of the invoice, Yu Jia instinctively became cautious and asked, "After I sign it, will it really not become a contract of sale?"

Su Zhongming said decisively: "No, no! You are already working in this palace, and I don't need you to work for me."

Yu Jia also felt that this made sense, and under Bao Qin's watchful eye, she calmly wrote her name on the blank space on the paper, and dipped some ink with her right thumb, and simply pressed the fingerprint.

When Su Zhongming wrote the content of the invoice, Baoqin had quietly stood aside and looked at it. She didn't have any doubts about its content, nor did she object to it. She chose to believe Su Zhongming this time.

After the ink on the paper was completely dry, Su Zhongming folded the paper neatly, put it into a beautiful dark purple brocade bag, tightened the golden rope, tied it with a nice knot, and put it away properly.

At such a time, Yu Jia was about to go back, so Baoqin followed him out and sent him to the gate of Yimengzhai. After watching him for a while, she returned to the threshold, closed the gate, and bolted it well.

Three days later, someone came into the palace with a reward notice, claiming to be a mage who had traveled for many years, and visited Lou Tianying.Lou Tianying, who grew up in the Mufeng Club, is used to being cautious, so he ordered the mage to do it on the spot, pointing at the three little maids on duty in the hall, and ordered them to hang in mid-air, as if they were stepping on a cloud.

The mage complied, and after a gust of dancing wind and moonlight, the three of the little maids screamed, hugging each other and supporting each other, but seeing their feet slowly leaving the ground and hanging in mid-air, they couldn't help being extremely pleasantly surprised.

The mage only did the ascending method for a while, then used the falling method to let the little maids slowly land on the ground, and finally accepted the method.

Lou Tian should believe that this person has real skills, not some charlatan, so he couldn't wait to take him to that dream house himself.At that time, it was just sunrise, Su Zhongming was having breakfast in Yimengzhai, and the door of Yimengzhai was locked tightly as usual.

When Lou Tianying arrived, he saw that the door was locked, so he ordered the waiter to yell 'open the door'.Su Zhongming heard it, but pretended not to hear it, and continued to eat breakfast leisurely with his rice bowl in hand.

Baoqin glanced at Su Zhongming, and seeing that Su Zhongming was indifferent, he followed suit.

The waiter yelled outside for a while, until his voice became hoarse and was about to smoke, so he begged Lou Tianying for forgiveness with a sad face, Lou Tianying was extremely dissatisfied, dissatisfied with Su Zhongming's attitude of pretending to be dead inside, anger ignited in his chest , Leaving aside the waiter, rushed to the gate, raised his voice and blurted out an order himself.

"Don't open the door again! Don't blame Gu for being inhumane!"

After hearing this, Su Zhongming was stunned for a moment, glanced back at the direction of the gate, and simply put down his rice bowl, but after calming down a bit and thinking about it, he picked up his rice bowl again, walked to the back of the gate, and continued to eat while answering: "No If you talk about favors, don't talk about favors, is there anyone here who cares about your favors?"

Lou Tianying couldn't help being furious, and blurted out viciously: "If you don't care about human feelings, you want to kill people! Set fire! Use the king's power to punish everyone around you!"

Su Zhongming snorted disdainfully, and replied: "I only have Baoqin by my side, and you sent me here to wait for me. Do you dare to sanction her? If something happens to her, will Lou Linrou not turn against you? Yours The throne was given by Lou Linrou!"

Lou Tianying was forced to be anxious, but he was at a loss for words, unable to refute Su Zhongming's words and sentences, so he simply responded: "Did you open this door for you alone!?"

Su Zhongming replied while eating: "I'm eating, how can I be free!"

"You...!" Lou Tianying's carefully maintained kingly temperament was scattered all over the place at this moment, letting his anger control him, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Baoqin! Why don't you open the door for Gu?"

Baoqin came out of the house slowly, but just stood outside the threshold, quietly looking at Su Zhongming's back and the back of the gate, without answering a word.

Su Zhongming answered for Baoqin: "Baoqin is not free either! Let me tell you, everyone here is eating!"

Lou Tian should be out of breath, but he could only forcibly bear it, and asked: "Then how long are you going to eat?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Who knows this? It depends on God's will when you finish eating! If you are busy, try another day! If you are not busy, then you can wait outside if you like!" The words fell, satisfied Turn around and go back to the house with the rice bowl.

Lou Tianying was about to be driven crazy, but he had no choice but to stand outside the gate and wait.

The waiter came forward and said with concern: "Your Majesty, let the humble official get you a chair for Your Majesty?"

Lou Tianying simply replied: "No, Gu does not believe that he dares to keep Gu waiting for too long!"

The waiter had nothing to say, so he had to back down.

In a blink of an eye, the time for two cups of tea passed, the closed door was closed as before, and there was no movement inside the door.

Lou Tianying waited outside the door with his hands behind his back, enduring the restlessness in his heart.

At this moment, Su Zhongming had already had enough breakfast, and was playing chess leisurely with Bao Qin in the house, and he had already forgotten Lou Tianying outside the door to the sky.

After waiting for five cups of tea, Lou Tianying, whose hands were sore from the cold, finally complied with his temper, couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his voice again: "How long do you want to eat?!"

Su Zhongming just dropped a chess piece. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and looked at Baoqin.

Baoqin also raised her head, met Su Zhongming's gaze, and calmly persuaded: "Young Master, why don't you open the door for him? If you really drive him crazy, it won't do us any good."

Su Zhongming frowned slightly, and confessed: "I actually didn't want him to come in..."

Bao Qin said: "To torture a person, at this time, it is time to take back the stubbornness. If the stubbornness is too deep, it will hurt yourself sooner or later, and it will be difficult to protect others."

This theory seems to be true, Su Zhongming couldn't help being a little worried, after thinking about it carefully, he decided to follow Baoqin's words first, and opened his lips and said: "Go and open the door for him."

Baoqin immediately stood up and went, opening the door of Yimengzhai.

As soon as she opened the door, the first thing she saw was a stinky face that was as cold as frosted copper and iron. Baoqin could only smile and said politely: "Good morning, Your Majesty!"

Lou Tianying replied coldly: "Good morning! It's almost noon!" As he spoke, he passed by her side like the wind and entered the house.The waiter followed and led the mage into the house.

Baoqin glanced at the waiter and mage, couldn't help being curious, and quickly turned to follow.

Lou Tianying stepped into the room and saw Su Zhongming sitting quietly in front of the table, and there was a chessboard on the table, and there was an unfinished chess game on the table, so he couldn't help but mocked coldly: "I said it was a meal before." , what does Gu see now?"

Su Zhongming didn't intend to answer, but just asked: "What's the matter with you this time?"

With his hands behind his back, Lou Tianying replied triumphantly, "Come to fulfill the promise made a few days ago."

Su Zhongming was puzzled: "Promise? When did I promise you anything?"

Lou Tian responded: "Gu said, Gu must erase the totem on your body! Now, the mage has arrived!"

After hearing this, Su Zhongming turned around, and immediately saw a strange man standing beside the waiter, who was not dressed like a man in the palace, and had a dusty appearance, obviously he had just entered the palace not long ago.

Presumably... this is the sorcerer? ——So thinking, Su Zhongming was not afraid at all, and asked confidently: "You invited a mage with unknown background, and you are sure that you can achieve your goal?"

Lou Tian replied: "Try it and you will know."

Su Zhongming put on an open-minded attitude and said, "How do you want to try?"

Lou Tian opened his lips, but before he could say a word, the sorcerer stood up and responded to Lou Tian: "Your Majesty's orders, I will leave it to you."

Lou Tianying glanced back at the mage, then said nothing, just turned around, raised his right hand, and signaled his permission.

When the mage came in front of Su Zhongming, he only casually said: "Young master, can you come down behind the screen?"

Su Zhongming had no choice but to go to the back of the screen, followed by the mage.

After stopping, Su Zhongming asked: "How will this mage remove the totem on my back?"

The mage replied respectfully: "I am powerless to undo what Elder Yanyan did."

After hearing this, Su Zhongming was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out: "You...?"

Without saying a word, the mage flicked his sleeves and set up a barrier, then took off his cloak and hat, and tore off the face-changing skin that was sticking to his face.

When Su Zhongming saw it, he couldn't help being overjoyed: "Gonghe! It's you!"

Gong He replied: "The wound on my body hasn't healed yet, so I had to use Yi Rong to sneak in as a mage."

Su Zhongming asked, "Are you here to save me?"

Gong He simply replied: "Yes!"

Su Zhongming was slightly worried: "But you have not recovered from your serious injury, I'm afraid..."

Gong He replied: "My injury does not prevent me from opening the passage of the Magic World Mirror! City Lord, please come back with me!"

Su Zhongming was silent for a moment, then refused: "I can't go back now."

Gong He couldn't help being surprised, and blurted out: "Why?! Wasn't the city lord arrested and brought here?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Did you see that girl when you came in? I promised her that I would help her, and I couldn't just walk away, and if the plan is successful, it will be good for everyone."

Gong He was stunned: "City Lord?!"

Su Zhongming interrupted him: "Lou Linrou appointed someone who has a grudge against me as the new king, while she herself retreats to the harem. This is an opportunity to gain benefits. If that girl and I succeed in setting up a new king, In the future, I can use the strength of the Taoxia Kingdom to get rid of the internal troubles in the Wen Kingdom, and I cannot miss this opportunity."

Gong He had no reason to refute, so he had no choice but to fulfill it: "I dare not object to the decision of the city lord. However, this plan seems to be full of difficulties, the city lord must be careful."

Su Zhongming replied: "I know." Looking back at Gong He: "After you leave, do you plan to return to Qingluan City?"

Gong He said: "My injury has not healed yet, I must go back to recuperate."

Su Zhongming wanted to take this opportunity to tell him to drop by Luomeizhuang, but knowing that his injury was not healed, he just said: "Then be careful on the way."

Gong He thought for a while and said: "A few days ago, when I was injured, I happened to meet Xiao Kui, and Xiao Kui sent a letter for me to my brother who was traveling together, and wrote back to tell me that they were all boarding at Luomeizhuang. I want to go back this time and go there to see them by the way. If the city lord has anything to say, please tell me."

Su Zhongming said: "Go and see Li Xuan, if he's fine, you should go back early."

Gong He responded straightforwardly: "Understood."

After saying that, he turned around, put the face-changing skin on his face again, put on the cloak and hat, did it with both hands, untied the barrier, and walked generously to the front of the screen.

Lou Tianying sat at the table and waited impatiently, when he saw Gong He came out, he immediately asked, "How is it?"
