I was Idle and Cool Chapter 133: Offer

The Qiang flute was originally a musical instrument of foreigners in the borderlands.

This person is from the Xiongnu, so it is not unusual to meet.

It's just that Lu Jinxi really doesn't know what this "Lord Lan" is thinking and watching on such a night, with such heartbroken playing.

After all, they are far apart, and they are not familiar with each other, not to mention that they are essentially "kidnapping" and "hostage" relationship, so Lu Jinxi has no intention of going out.

She just stood silently at the window for a while, watching quietly.

The man played one tune and another.

In the middle of the third song, someone came in from outside the yard, walked over the stairs at the back of the room, got close to him, and said something.

Then the flute stopped.

He pondered for a moment, then ordered a few words.

The person who came here nodded, then ordered to retreat, leaving him alone on the ridge.

At this time, Lu Jinxi thought he would continue to play.

But he didn't expect that he turned his eyes, turned his head sideways, and looked at the house where she was-

The eyes of the two people were so caught off guard that they collided across this cold and silent void.

He sits on the ridge of the roof, she stands by the shabby window.

The ordinary moonlight shines on them differently.

The other party did not speak.

Lu Jinxi also suddenly held her breath.

Just because the gaze she met was neither fierce nor sharp, but an undisguised, magnanimous loneliness and sadness.

Another man with a story.

It's just a pity...

She met Gu Juefei first, and the one she met now would definitely not shave her full beard in front of her.

I was amused by my own thoughts.

The corners of Lu Jinxi's lips curved, and the expression on her face was a little softer than usual, but her eyes were generally calm and indifferent.

Take a step back, hide in the shadows, raise her hand and close the window.

It's just that the other party blew it by chance, heard it by chance, and saw it by chance, and it can't cause any change in the relationship between the two of them at the moment.

He knows, she knows too.

That night, the sound of the Qiang flute did not sound again.

Lu Jinxi also felt strangely not anxious anymore, and slept extraordinarily peacefully all night, as if letting go of all worries and doubts.

Woke up early the next morning feeling much better.

It was still the man who brought the porridge, and he still didn't even knock on the door. But the difference is that this time Lu Jinxi just got up and is getting dressed.

She froze for a moment, then returned to normal.

After all, in her opinion, this is not a big scene, and it is not that there is no clothes inside, so she calmly put on her clothes under the gaze of the other party before walking over.

The man sat down at the table, and he moved the porridge bowl to him, and said to him, "It seems that there is some news."

After all, someone came from outside last night and went up on the roof to inform him of the news.

She doesn't lose any money if she asks casually.

What if the news is related to Gu Juefei?

Her composure, obviously surprised the other party a bit, but the next thing is to appreciate it.

The man also sat next to her and watched her drink the porridge slowly, spoon by spoon, neither disliked the heat nor the taste.

"You don't look like a pampered girl at all."

scoff.

It's definitely okay to say that Mrs. Lu, but is it used to describe her...

Lu Jinxi smiled: "It doesn't look like it, but I am. People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads? I'm afraid I'm very hungry, even if you bring me a bowl of rice bran, I have to swallow it. Do you say so?"

It's not the same as her...

The man's eyes fell on her face, and he also looked at her subtle expression and gestures when using porridge, and said lightly: "You guessed it right, there is some news."

"Related to Gu Juefei?"

Lu Jinxi continued to make bold guesses.

The man laughed: "It has something to do with him. Knowing that this young master Gu is not close to women, I didn't expect that once he was close to women, he would be an infatuation. Not only the general's mansion. Even the widow dared to hook up, and for the sake of this concubine, she took a team of secret guards directly out of the capital, and came here, it is really affectionate and righteous."

There is some irony in the words.

Lu Jinxi could hear it, but felt as if something had pricked her heart.

Although she knew that Gu Juefei would come and would jump into this trap, and believed that he would not be unprepared, when she knew that he was coming, she still felt depressed, as if a stone had been pressed on her heart .

The man was next to her, scrutinizing her expression, not letting go at all, and then said: "Since he is coming, I don't know what price I should offer him according to Madam's opinion?"

“…”

The spoon that stirred the porridge in the bowl stopped immediately.

Lu Jinxi slowly raised her eyes and looked at him. After being silent for a long time, she asked a very intriguing question: "It depends, how much do you think I am worth?"

*

The capital is more than 60 miles west-southwest.

The sky was already bright, and the sun had come out. In the humble inn, Gu Juefei woke up early, but there was a layer of blue and black under his eyes, obviously he hadn't slept well.

The sentry sent out to inquire and Cui Tu, the commander of the dark guards, were there.

"How's it going?"

Gu Juefei pressed his eyebrows and sat down, his eyes inevitably gloomy.

The whistle's name is Xu Huiyang, his name is very masculine, but he is extremely thin and not very tall, but he has a sharp knife on his waist, which is very powerful at first glance.

He and Cui Tu were both raised by Gu Juefei and were loyal to him.

Hearing his question, Xu Huiyang replied rigorously: "I have roughly explored it more than ten miles away. This area is a rare mountain terrain between the capital and Baoding, and it is relatively complex. Eight miles away from the incident, the subordinates found a place called Yanchi Mountain. The front of the mountain is a gourd valley, and it is backed by mountains and mountains. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the entrance, there are two figures. Watch."

“How many people can find out?”

Gu Juefei took a sip of the thick tea in the inn, moistened his throat, and asked again.

Xu Huiyang shook his head: "I can't detect it for the time being. But the subordinates see these people, as Yin Ping said at the beginning, they are definitely experienced in a hundred battles, I am afraid that even the secret guards in the mansion will be very difficult to deal with. It's hard work. If the eldest son wants to fight hard, the people we bring will not be enough."

"Has Fang Shao arrived?"

Gu Juefei still knew what Xu Huiyang said.

And if what Yin Ping said is true, the scary thing about this group of "mountain bandits" is not only in their experience of hundreds of battles, but also in their strategy of arranging troops.

It can be seen from the location they chose when they kidnapped Lu Jinxi and the location they chose to occupy now, it is definitely not something that a reckless man can do with a knife.

He had anticipated this before he set off.

So the back-end has long been left behind. As long as the capital follows his arrangements and plans, it shouldn't be a problem.

Here, Fang Shaoxing is very important.

Obviously, Gu Juefei had sent them to keep an eye on this young general in white robes who shined under Xue Kuang's hands in the past and had the potential to grow out of blue.

As soon as he asked, Xu Huiyang replied without thinking: "Yesterday, Beijing already knew about this matter. The city where Mr. Fang left at the end of the hour should arrive at most in half an hour." /

Fang Shaoxing will of course come under the banner of "suppressing bandits".

But not many people know.

Gu Juefei gave Xiao Che a memorial before he left. If he still has some brains, he should arrange according to his own plan. If Fang Shaoxing comes with great fanfare, not only may he not be able to save Lu Jinxi, but they also All are folded here.

When Gu Juefei thought of this Xiao Che, who was very lucky and ascended the throne, he was actually a little worried, but this was the best he could think of and use in such an emergency way.

I hope Xiao Che won't be overly provoked and make some confused decisions.

He thought about it for a while and then said, "Send someone to keep watching, and if there is any news in the direction of the capital, immediately report to me."

"Yes!"

Xu Huiyang responded cleanly.

Gu Juefei waved his hand to let him quit, and wanted to say a few words to Cui Tu.

Unexpectedly, before I was ready to speak, a loud shout suddenly came from outside: "Who are you, what are you doing here?"

"I, I'm here to deliver a letter..."

A cowardly and young voice answered, as if frightened by the sudden questioning, and there was a bit of crying in his words.

Gu Juefei frowned suddenly.

Then I heard a movement outside, and soon there was a knock on the door, and Xu Huiyang's voice sounded outside the door: "Eldest son."

"Come in."

He shouted.

Xu Huiyang came in again.

This time, he actually held a letter in his hand.

An ordinary envelope, without a word written on it, Gu Juefei took it, opened it, and took out a plain letter inside.

The handwriting above is also unfamiliar.

He's never seen it before.

It's just the above content, but it set off a storm in his heart, and also ignited the flames of burning the city, making his pupils shrink instantly.

Not many words.

Few lines.

The meaning is very clear, even arrogant and provocative.

"Gourd Valley in Yanchi Mountain, limited for two days, 100,000 gold, bring money to take people, or kill if you don't give it!"
