[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 39: Saving the Beauty [English]

Amid the mist, Su Moyi chuckled and slowly untied the belt around her waist.

Under the light, the man’s strong and smooth lines extended all the way, ending on the sparkling water between his waist and abdomen.

“This injury…” Zhang Ren was stunned when he saw this.

Because besides the stab wound on Su Moyi’s waist, there were also large and small scars on her chest, back, and even arms.

Su Moyi looked unconscious and poured a ladle of water on herself carelessly, “Brother Zhang, don’t you know, Zhou was born in the army. Before being transferred to the armory, he served in the Anxi Protector’s Mansion. He was on the battlefield, so naturally he has scars on his body. I didn’t want to take off my clothes just now because I was afraid that the injury would be unsightly and displease Brother Zhang.”

“Oh! Haha… It doesn’t matter…” Zhang Ren said with an embarrassed look on his face: “A man sacrifices his life for his country. Any injuries on the battlefield are honors. There is nothing to say that it is an eyesore.”

Su Moyi smiled silently.Everyone only knows that he is a civil servant, but few people know that he practices martial arts all year round, so it is not surprising that he has this injury.

It just so happened that Zhou Yipu was indeed from a military background and had been on the battlefield.The coincidence of these two situations allowed him to escape this hurdle.

But what Zhang Ren meant by such a clear test, he understood even more.

Su Moyi leaned on the bathtub and called Ye Qing to him with a wave of her hand.

“You go back and tell the little madam that I am talking to Mr. Zhang outside today. I will go back later and tell her not to lose her temper.”

Ye Qing’s heart tightened upon hearing the calm tone.

Because this was the code the two of them had agreed upon before setting off.

If Su Moyi felt that this act was dangerous, he would arrange for him to go back and take Lin Wanqing away.

Ye Qing gritted his teeth, and after a moment of confusion, he tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, turned around, and headed straight for Zhang Mansion.

The lights in the room were turned off, but Lin Wanqing did not sleep.

She sat quietly under the window in the dark night, staring blankly at the moon in the sky through the gap in the window.

A small and white one, like a piece of brocade accidentally scorched by incense ashes.

“Dong-dong-dong!”

There were knocking sounds on the window lattice in the dark space, two long and one short.

Lin Wanqing quickly jumped down from the couch. Without time to put on her shoes, she ran straight to the back room and opened the window.

As expected, Ye Qing jumped in with his arms raised.

He looked solemnly, handed a dagger to Lin Wanqing and said: “Take it for self-defense and follow me!”

“Wait a minute!” Lin Wanqing was unexpectedly pulled by he without thinking. She staggered two steps, took off his hand and said, “What’s going on?”

Ye Qing had a troubled look on his face and said with an anxious look: “My lord’s identity may have been exposed.”

“What…” Lin Wanqing’s pupils were trembling, and she couldn’t stop shaking when she heard the words.

“How is it possible? How is it possible?” She grabbed Ye Qing’s sleeve and said anxiously: “What happened to him?”

Ye Qing frowned and spoke in a heavy tone, “Zhang Ren took Sir to the hot spring pool and wanted to take the opportunity to check the wounds on Sir’s body. This means that someone has already suspected that the person who came to Hongzhou is not someone else but Master Su.”

Lin Wanqing felt her eyes go blank and almost fell down along the wall.

If the other party has already suspected that he is Su Moyi, then they must know more about Su Moyi’s weaknesses and may try them one by one.

From this point of view, it is indeed a disaster.

“Let’s go!” Ye Qing looked at the stunned Lin Wanqing and couldn’t help but grab her sleeve again.

“But if we leave, what will Master Su do?” Lin Wanqing grabbed Ye Qing’s hand and asked urgently.

“Don’t worry,” Ye Qing took out a small box from his arms and said, “This is the tiger talisman that the emperor gave me before departure. If my identity is exposed during the trip to Hongzhou, I can use this talisman to go to any nearby state capital to mobilize troops.”

He grabbed Lin Wanqing as he spoke, “Come with me quickly! If it’s too late, it’ll be too late!”

Lin Wanqing held him back.

Ye Qing was startled and heard she say in a deep voice: “It will take two days at the earliest to mobilize troops to Yizhou. If your identity is really exposed, he will have already become a hostage by then. How can we save him?”

“But,” Ye Qing said, “Is there any other way?”

The atmosphere became anxious for a moment, and the two of them were silent for a while. Lin Wanqing crossed her arms and frowned.

After a moment, she said: “Yes!”

Ye Qing was surprised and looked at the serious-looking woman in front of him, as if he had heard something drunk.

Lin Wanqing put the tiger talisman into his hand and pushed him to turn around. “You can take the tiger talisman and go to Yizhou to mobilize troops now. Don’t delay for a moment.”

“What about you?” Ye Qing asked.

“I’ll go find the adults.”

“What?!” Ye Qing thought he had misunderstood, so he quickly grabbed Lin Wanqing’s hand and said in disbelief: “If you go to find him now, it’s like throwing yourself into a trap!”

“That’s not necessarily the case.” Lin Wanqing pushed Ye Qing away with a firm gaze, “Zhang Ren is still testing, which means that he is not sure about the identity of the Lord. And at the same time, he does not want to give up on the line of weapons arsenal Zhou Yipu. If this is the case, then we still have hope.”

“But…” Ye Qing was still hesitating, “Knowing that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and the chances of winning are slim, if you go…”

“Anyway, whether I go or not, things are already like this, right?” In the dark night, Lin Wanqing stared at Ye Qing without giving in, “It’s better to give it a try than just sit back and wait for death, right?”

Ye Qing still didn’t respond.

Lin Wanqing looked at he, with an unusual sincerity in his voice, “When my lord said goodbye to me this morning, he also knew that the road ahead was dangerous, but he did not retreat. Therefore, whether it is the tiger’s den or the wolf’s den, even if he fails, I still want to accompany him.”

“This…”

Thousands of words were spoken, but Ye Qing felt like they were stuck in his throat. After struggling for a moment, he still let go of Lin Wanqing’s hand.

Lin Wanqing immediately pushed the he out and urged: “Let’s go quickly! If we fail, you are the last hope, don’t hold us back!”

The window closed in response. Under the cold moonlight, Ye Qing tightly grabbed the tiger charm in his hand and jumped along the corridor.

Lin Wanqing looked at the distant figure in the haze.

She and Su Moyi are the only ones left in this prison in Hongzhou.

*
On the other side, in the steamy hot spring pavilion.

After the bath, the two of them were only wearing a loose robe.Zhang Ren called the singers and musicians and held a banquet in the private room.

The sound of the piano is clanging and noisy.The actor sang in a low voice, and the flower girl was full of charm.

Zhang Ren and Su Moyi sat opposite each other, holding wine cups in their hands and leaning casually on their bent right legs.He closed his eyes and listened to the music leisurely, tapping the table in front of him with his other hand, making a soft “tuk-tuk” sound.

It gave rise to a strangeness that was not in harmony with that kind of music.

Su Moyi sat attentively, with the same cynical and romantic expression on his face.

Zhang Ren listened to the music for a while, then suddenly looked at Su Moyi and smiled softly: “Brother Zhou, are you tired today?”

Su Moyi smiled lightly at he, “Guests do as they please. Brother Zhang is in high spirits, so Zhou will naturally accompany him.”

“Oh?”

A nasal sound that was neither soft nor faint, like a poisonous tongue spitting out a message in the dim light.Zhang Ren’s eyes fell on the untouched wine cup in front of Su Moyi.

The clear yellow liquid swayed gently under the light, exuding a faint fragrance.

For Su Moyi, who was well versed in interrogation, he knew what Zhang Ren had put in the wine at just one glance.

It is a kind of drug called “confused mind”. Use it on those prisoners who can’t pry their mouths open anyway. When they have the weakest willpower or are unsuspecting, it can be said that they can seek benevolence and gain benevolence.

Su Moyi had already expected that Zhang Ren might have this trick, so he took some precautions in advance.

But he had just taken a shower and changed clothes. In order to prevent exposure, the hidden bag for storing wine was secretly taken out by he. Now it can no longer be used.

Although the sachet around the waist can sober up the alcohol, it won’t last long.

Coupled with the “confusion” contained in the wine, Su Moyi secretly speculated that the amount of wine he could withstand would not exceed ten glasses at most.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

Thinking of this, he could only smile knowingly, hold up the glass to Zhang Ren, and drink it all in one gulp.

Zhang Ren didn’t say anything. He smiled at him and raised his hand to ask the lady beside him to pour him wine.

There was a ding-dong of drinks, and soon another glass was filled.Zhang Ren did not dissuade him, but just asked: “Brother Zhou, have you ever heard of the name Su Moyi, Lord Su of Dali Temple?”

Su Moyi was stunned, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough and didn’t show anything strange in his expression.He just laughed and said, “I’m afraid there’s no one in Shengjing’s official circles who doesn’t know about him.”

“How much does Brother Zhou know about Master Na Su?” Zhang Ren asked.

Su Moyi frowned and looked at Zhang Ren with a bit of confusion in his eyes, “Zhou’s understanding of Master Na Su is naturally limited to rumors. He and I had no need to interact or make friends in the previous dynasty.”

Zhang Ren smiled and nodded, and then raised the wine glass in his hand. Su Moyi followed and drank another glass.

He put down the wine cup, stared at Su Mo and recalled, “Zhang heard that Mr. Su has taken leave of absence due to illness in Shengjing recently?”

Su Moyi looked the same and thought, “Really? When did it happen?”

Zhang Ren was still smiling, and his eyes under the candlelight were chilling.

After a moment, he said slowly: “Calculating the time, it was probably after Mr. Zhou set out, so Mr. Zhou must not know about it.”

“Oh?” Su Moyi asked, “What does Mr. Zhang mean by saying this?”

As he spoke, he cast his gaze on the wine glass in Su Moyi’s hand, raised his hand and said, “It’s no fun, just drink.”

While thinking quietly, another glass of wine was filled.

Su Moyi tugged at the hem of her clothes and seemed to feel a little warm.

It seems that in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhang Ren’s dose of “confused mind” was heavier than normal.

In this case, he will probably not be able to survive even five drinks.

After three glasses of wine, Zhang Ren was still persuading. Su Moyi raised her hand to stop the flower girl at the side and said, “I wonder if the wine today is too strong or if Zhou has not drank for a long time. Why does it feel like he has already drank three pots after only three glasses?”

Zhang Ren laughed when he heard this, but ignored him. He only winked at the flower girl on the side and asked her to continue.

Seeing that another glass of wine was filled, the sound of the music gradually became hazy, and Su Moyi felt as if she had sunk to the bottom of the lake, and her hands were already slightly cold.

he secretly clenched his fists and bit his back teeth hard.

It seems that if we don’t think of a way to escape, this trip to Hongzhou may really be a dead end.

“Master Zhou?” Zhang Renlue’s cold voice sounded, still urging him and holding on tight.

Su Moyi was silent and did not respond.

No more drinking.

It’s true that I can’t drink anymore.

“Master Zhou?” Zhang Ren called, his eyes dark under the candlelight, like an eagle waiting for prey.

“Zhou…”

“Zhou Yipu!”

An inappropriate noise outside the house broke the deadlock between the two.

“Zhou Yipu, come out!!!”

Hearing the woman’s voice, Zhang Ren and Su Moyi were startled.

A delicate and plaintive female voice ran closer, crying, and after being stopped by the guards at the outer door, she even started rolling around. The volume was loud and the emotion was tragic.For a moment, even the music playing in the house was interrupted.

Without waiting for the people inside to react, the door to the private room was suddenly opened.

Lin Wanqing’s eyes were red and sobbing, her eyelashes were wet with tears, and she looked like she had been abandoned by a heartless man.

She looked at Su Moyi for a moment, then rushed in, picked up the dishes and cups on the table and smashed them randomly.

While smashing, he cried, “Men are shameless things! They only talk sweetly when I sleep with you!”

The dishes clattered and broken porcelain flew everywhere.When the singer and musicians saw this, they were so frightened that they ran away with their heads in their hands.

The guards present had probably never seen such a scene where jealousy was overturned. They didn’t know what to do for a moment. They winked at each other and didn’t dare to step forward. No matter how much Ren Zhangren urged, it was in vain.

He might as well go pull her by himself.

“Crack!!!”

There was a shocking sound, and everyone present was stunned by the slap.

The next moment, Su Moyi grabbed Lin Wanqing’s waist and pulled him into her arms.

When the two of them faced each other, Master Zhang had a look of astonishment on his face.

However, on he’s face, a crimson five-fingerprint was visible to the naked eye…
