Chapter 125: Cool and sharp

The two servants sent by Qi Yang couldn't catch up with Lu Qipei at all. She disappeared into the crowded street almost in the blink of an eye. The two servants moved away from the crowd and searched for a long while, but finally returned without success.
In fact, it was not that the servant could not find anyone on the street, but that Lu Qipei had long been gone on the crowded street-she chased the sneaker through the crowd and turned into a secluded alley on the side of the street.
The thief in front seemed to notice that someone was chasing behind him, but he was not panicked. He still kept the previous speed and ran deep into the alley. From time to time, he showed the jade purse in his hand for Lu Qipei to see.
This is an obvious way to attract people, and of course Lu Qipei will not fail to see it after many years in Dali Temple. Even because of being an official at Dali Temple, she has developed a pair of sharp eyes in a few years. So she chased her, not because she was tempted by the little thief who penetrated her purse and jade pendant, but she vaguely recognized the person in front of her, and then guessed the envoy who led her out.
The two chased in the alley one after the other. Once Lu Qipei slowed down, the person in front would also slow down, and vice versa. Until the two of them fainted in the alley extending in all directions, there was absolutely no possibility for anyone to follow them, and the person in front finally stopped.
Lu Qipei also stopped, his breath was slightly disturbed, but he squinted his eyes and looked around.
The person in front turned around, his ordinary face even a bit rigid. He turned around, but bowed to Lu Qipei, and at the same time offered his pouch jade pendant with both hands: "Young Master, offended, it is Qi Bo who wants to see you."
Just as his words fell, the door of a family in the alley opened, and a familiar figure of Qi Bo appeared in front of Lu Qipei. Since his party in Hequ County more than half a year ago, Qi Bo has rarely seen Lu Qipei. . There seemed to be more estrangement between the two, and Lu Qipei saw Qi Bo again today, but suddenly discovered that he was much older in the past six months.
Still can't look away, can't let go.
Of course, Qi Bo’s hatred was never experienced by others, nor could they judge anything. Just seeing that he has kept the family business for the Lu family over the years, and raised the Lu family for two generations one after another, you know that his loyalty to the Lu family is beyond doubt.
Lu Qipei's perception of Zibo is the most complicated. She walked forward and retrieved her purse and jade pendant. Then she said: "I don't have much time. Qibo wants to say something, let's talk as soon as possible. "
Qi Bo let go of the door, and Lu Qipei hesitated for a moment, then followed in.
As soon as the door closed, the alley returned to silence. The person who had brought Lu Qipei here before did not follow up, but did not leave. He just flashed away, and he didn't know where he was hiding, but he was guarding this small courtyard in the dark.
This was just a small courtyard once entered. After Lu Qipei entered the door, he directly followed Qi Bo into the hall. There was not even a charcoal fire in the house, and it was so cold in this weather that even Lu Qipei subconsciously gathered his clothes.
Qi Bo turned his head and looked at her, the whole body's aura was colder than the temperature in the room: "Young master is a good method, I don't know you are so cruel!"
Lu Qipei wrapped his fur clothes tightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked as if he knew nothing: "What does Qi Bo mean?"
Qi Bo stared at Lu Qipei for a long while, but the latter's eyes were clear, as if he were still as simple and harmless as a young boy. He watched for a long time, and he didn't know if she was as clear as before, or if she concealed it deeply from his eyes.
After a while, it seemed that he could not tell anything from Lu Qipei, and Qi Bo finally took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over. Lu Qipei took a look, and what he did not expect was Bei Rong, and he knew a little bit more than she did—Xie Yuan was defeated, and Emperor Rong captured him and the rebellious General You alive, and before the Wan Jun He avenged the three princesses with five horses!
Lu Qipei's heart beat fiercely after reading it, and a burst of ecstasy surged into her heart, almost making her unable to control her expression at the moment. But fortunately, in the end, she still held back the raised corners of her mouth, her eyes rolled slightly, pretending to be calm and said: "So what?"
Qi Bo squinted and looked at her suspiciously: "You didn't do it?"
Lu Qipei knew that almost all of his forces were taken over from Qi Bo, he still has more or less influence, and it is not difficult to know what to do. So from the beginning, Lu Qipei was very cautious. She didn't have much room for Xie Yuan's affairs, and only two pieces of news were revealed before and after. The first one was passed to the three princesses, and the latter was passed to General Zuo to lead them to the game.
As for everything that happened afterwards, it was Xie Yuan's own choice. If it were not for his arrogance, he would look down on the barbarians of Rongguo from the bottom of his heart, and think that he could control the overall situation, I am afraid it would not have allowed things to develop like later.
He did it step by step by himself!
However, Lu Qipei was also very careful about spreading the news, using the people she later trained, and immediately denied it without guilty: "Naturally not. The emperor and the prince are eyeing him, how can I do it?"
Except for Qi Yang, Lu Qipei was not as honest with others, not to mention Qi Bo's current attitude is also unpredictable.
Qi Bo didn't know whether he believed her words or not, or he believed her a little bit, but he was a bit displeased with her attitude that had nothing to do with her at the moment. The gray eyebrows frowned tightly: "Even if you know who moved the hand, don't you care about your father's hatred?"
Lu Qipei laughed. Her smile was not as gentle and pure as usual. On the contrary, it was rare and cold: "Isn't Qi Bomo kidding me? You knew I had no love for Xie Yuan, and this so-called revenge for killing my father could be counted. What's the matter?" After speaking, his voice still sinks: "My life is very good now, and I don't want to be involved in any enmity or revenge, Qi Bo, do you understand?"
Speaking of the last sentence, Lu Qipei looked at Qi Bo, the sharpness in his eyes did not hide.
Qi Bo stared at her for a long while, somehow, even the last bit of energy seemed to dissipate. He waved his hand weakly at last, and sighed: "No matter, everyone has aspirations, what can I force?"
After saying this, Qi Bo seemed to no longer want to see Lu Qipei, and waved his hand to see off the guests.
Naturally, Lu Qipei would not force her to stay, Qi Yang and Lu Sheng were still waiting for her on the street. The tight heartstring loosened a little, but she did not dare to relax completely before leaving the small courtyard. After all, even though Qi Bo was loyal to the Lu family, he was able to watch her kill Lu Qicheng back then. Who knows what he thinks now, and will he attack her for a while?
Fortunately, these worries were unnecessary, and Lu Qipei left smoothly and walked to the gate. She opened the door, and the alley outside was still empty. Before leaving, she turned her head and said: "Qibo, take care!"
After speaking, she closed the courtyard door and left without looking back.
Qi Bo was a little stunned when he heard the "take care", and stood there for a long time in the empty hall. Until a figure appeared in front of him, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you doubt that she arranged this round?"
The hoarse and unpleasant voice awakened Qi Bo, who was distracted. He raised his head to look at the person in front of him, frowning, "I don't know."
Standing in front of Qi Bo was Meng Fei, who brought Bei Rong's news personally. It's just that today's Meng Fei is no longer the silent but powerful guard who followed Xie Yuan. He died the lord, broke his arm, and a hideous scar on his neck ruined his voice. He said he had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, Qi Bo believed, and he couldn't even imagine how he struggled to survive.
At this moment, Meng Fei was silent when he heard Qi Bo's words. He desperately rushed back to Liang Kingdom from Bei Rong, with the goal of revenge for Xie Yuan—from the third princesses knowing the secret of Xie Hongyi's death, to everything that happened later was obviously set by others. Xie Yuan had suspected the prince before, and later learned that Emperor Liang had escaped luckily, and suspected that Emperor Liang had recovered from his illness.
The enemy of the Xie family is only Liang Guo's royal family, and Meng Fei's goal of revenge is therefore clear.
However, when he returned to the capital with the remaining forces and contacted Qi Bo, it was Lu Qipei who first thought of suspicion. Meng Fei didn't want to believe such speculation. When Xie Yuan was dead, the only heir he left was the young master for Meng Fei.
Fortunately, Lu Qipei denied it, but Qi Bo raised his doubts for some reason but didn't go deep into it.
Meng Fei regarded all this as a misunderstanding: "Actually, with the current situation, even if we succeed in revenge, we will not be able to retreat in the future. At this time, if the young master is involved, it is just dragging her into the water. He reluctantly spoke with a dumb throat, frowning with discomfort: "I think, at least one bloodline must be left to the Lord."
Qi Bo's expression moved slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Qi Yang held Lu Sheng in his arms and waited for a long time by the side of the street, staring at the crowd in front of him eagerly. After waiting patiently to be exhausted and preparing to send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case, he finally saw Lu Qipei trotting away from the crowd and hurried back.
The delay in meeting Qi Bo was not long, but the person led her to go around too many times. Lu Qipei was very unfamiliar with the alleys nearby. When he returned, there was no one to lead the way, so he was cautious for fear of making a mistake, so it took a lot of time. At this moment, she even had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and her cheeks were stained with light crimson.
When Qi Yang saw her, he asked, "Where have you been chasing people? Why have you been there for so long?!"
Lu Qipei smiled, and opened his palm to show her the purse and jade pendant that she took back: "The man ran into the alley. I chased him for a while before chasing him. The thing was recovered, but it was a pity that no one saw him. Up."
After listening to Qi Yang suspiciously, he squinted at her: "That's it?"
Lu Qipei originally wanted to conceal Qi Bo's affairs, but his attitude is really unclear, which makes people a little confused. However, facing Qi Yang's questioning, she did not hesitate to tell the story: "In fact, Qi Bo wanted to see me, and specially asked someone to steal my purse and lead me over."
After listening to the explanation, Qi Yang only felt speechless—Qi Bo was the housekeeper of Lu Mansion. Even if Lu Qipei moved to settle in the Princess Mansion, Lu Mansion would still be her home. If Qi Bo has something to send a message, do you need to go around such a big circle?
But it was Qi Bo's move around in circles that made Qi Yang feel suspicious: "What did he say when he saw you?"
Lu Qipei couldn't speak much outside, but when he returned to the princess mansion, he still told Qi Yang about everything. Qi Yang was happy to learn of Xie Yuan's death, but he was also puzzled by Zibo's weird attitude.
