Chapter Five: How could it possibly be seen through?

After pondering for a while, she still could not come up with an answer. Liang Xiaoyue stomped on the ground fiercely for a while, using her toes to trample a wild chrysanthemum deep into the soil before she ceased her destruction. With a distressed expression, Liang Xiaoyue thought to herself: Oh, it is merely a matter of repaying a kindness, why must I encounter such a difficult person?

After a brief interrogation, the group continued on their journey. The middle-aged scholar shook his head and said, "My lord, I truly cannot understand why that young man would spend money on such an ungrateful task"

It is ! ''

Slowly, until the matter is clarified, do not harm them

At this point, he gave a strange smile and said, "The marquis has been looking back repeatedly these past few days, surely anticipating a reunion with the beauty. Such haste in traveling does not align with the marquis's usual character of cherishing and valuing the fair."

The pupils of her eyes moved a few times, and Liang Xiaoyue's mood lifted once again. She chuckled and said with a smile, "How amusing, truly amusing. This person is so clever; it seems I need to come up with an even better plan."

It is ! ''

My lord, ahead lies the city of Jinling, a place renowned for its remarkable figures, which are indeed rare in this world. Let us stay here for a few days.

Could it be that they sent her? Just as this thought crossed his mind, he shook his head: how could the other party, with such cunning methods, send such an incompetent girl to carry out their tasks

The girl, having encouraged herself, bounced out of the woods. She climbed up a large tree, glanced towards the distant official road, tilted her little head in thought for a moment, then leaped down and ran after Zhu Yuan and the others.

At this moment, the middle-aged scholar had already ridden his horse to his rear. Upon hearing this, he laughed heartily and said, "Indeed, there is nothing strange in this world; this little girl is truly adorable!"

Zhu Yuan furrowed his brows, his thoughts drifting back to those bright and cunning eyes that resembled rippling waves.

Upon his remark, the laughter of the crowd grew even louder

He called out twice, then leaped off the horse and ran away at full speed. His speed was astonishing, and his fleeing figure was like smoke and mist. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the forest on the left!

At this point, he anxiously reiterated, "From now on, whenever you see her, you must not act rashly!"

At this point, he turned his gaze to the few individuals thrown by the young man in white and instructed in a low voice: "Old Zhang, they are in your charge, go and clarify the matter!"

It is ! ''

It is ! ''

The middle-aged scholar chuckled and said, "That young man in white promised that if the singer could make the marquis take a liking to her, he would reward her with one thousand taels of gold." At this point, his expression became peculiar: "The singer also mentioned that the young man in white said the marquis is a lecherous fellow, and he does not believe that the marquis could resist the allure of such a beauty. As long as the marquis falls for the singer and cannot help but propose, she would have resolved a matter that has been on her mind."

Zhu Yuan also chuckled and said loudly: "As Uncle Yang said. Boys, let us go to Jinling City for some fun!"

At that moment, a man in blue approached and asked, "My lord, how should those people be dealt with?"

This problem is clearly too difficult. She pondered for a while but could not find an answer. Liang Xiaoyue, feeling dejected, tore off a piece of willow leaf and ripped it into shreds. While tearing, she pouted and cursed, "This bastard, how can he be so smart? I spent several days and wasted a lot of money to come up with this plan, yet he saw through it in an instant? It's strange, there are clearly no flaws!" I spent several days and wasted a lot of money to come up with this plan, yet he saw through it in an instant? It's strange, there are clearly no flaws!

At that moment, the voice of the middle-aged scholar rang out: "My lord, should we issue an order to arrest that young man in white?"

Arrest her? In Zhu Yuan's eyes, the joyful smile of that young girl immediately surfaced, and he shook his head with a smile, saying: "No need, she will appear again."

At this point, the middle-aged scholar cautiously glanced at Zhu Yuan's expression, noticing that his face was somewhat contorted. He couldn't help but cough lightly, straightened his face, and said earnestly: "As for that young man in the green attire, he is merely a ruffian from the streets. According to my estimation, he should have been brought in by the youth to make up the numbers. My lord, I do not understand the meaning of the last sentence spoken by that young man!"

Zhu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Take it back for a thorough investigation"

Seeing Zhu Yuan with a sullen face and not responding, the middle-aged scholar slowly urged his horse a little away from him, then gradually retreated into the midst of the guards. His movements were extremely cautious, clearly fearing to incur the wrath of his master

He turned to the middle-aged scholar and asked, "Did the singer mention what their purpose is and what benefits will arise after it is accomplished?"

Uncle Yang's face flushed with embarrassment, and amidst the laughter of the guards, he said unhappily: "My lord, are you not mistaking good intentions for ingratitude? The splendor of Jinling is unparalleled in the world, and it is a rare opportunity to witness it, so of course, we must take the chance to experience it."

As she watched the lively crowd enter the city gate, the small figure of Liang Xiaoyue also appeared on the official road. She looked up at the three large characters "Jinling City," clenched her small fist, and with sparkling eyes thought to herself: Come on! This time, it will definitely succeed!

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, including Zhu Yuan, as they stared wide-eyed in the direction where the young man had disappeared. It was unclear how much time had passed when a burst of laughter erupted.

Hearing the doubts of his subordinate, Zhu Yuan smiled faintly, and could not help but recall the pair of equally cunning and innocent eyes he had seen last night. Shaking his head, he said with a smile: "I have questions too, and I cannot make sense of them."

Like a wisp of smoke, the young man in white slipped into the woods and suddenly stopped running. She leaned against a large tree, panting, and murmured to herself: "How strange, even if he sees through that I am a woman, it doesn't matter, why should I be running away?"

The boy in white is naturally Liang Xiaoyue

Among them, Zhu Yuan laughed the hardest, nearly toppling over in his mirth! He laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face, and only after he straightened up did he shake his head and wryly say: "Isn't this reaction a bit too exaggerated?"

He murmured, "If she truly intends to use this singer to gain something from the lord, then her words and actions should not be so naive. Furthermore, this singer has only attained such unparalleled beauty through some form of makeup and disguise, but this will eventually be uncovered. What, then, is the purpose of her actions?"

Zhu Yuan glanced back at him and mockingly said, "Uncle Yang, if you don't want to ride a horse, just sit back in the carriage. Why bother making excuses for your poor leg, talking about the elegance of the figures from Jinling!"

He pondered: It is now certain that the young man in white just now is the same person as the girl seen yesterday during the day and at night. However, what could be her purpose in staring at him like this

No!
