Chapter 264 Sauvignon Blanc 21
The next morning, Xiangliu left.
Even though Xiangliu took a nap in Lingxi's room, Xuanxuan didn't notice anything.
At this moment, he was worried about the news from his men.
"My Lord, the spies in Chen Rong's remnant army sent a message that Xiang Liu's injury has fully recovered and there is nothing wrong."
Xuanxuan put down what he was doing and looked up in surprise: "So fast?"
"Do you know how he recovered?"
Xuanxuan frowned and looked up at his men.
He knew how serious Xiangliu's injury was. It was not fatal, but it would not be something that could be recovered from overnight.
The subordinate shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that Xiangliu went out last night, and when he returned today, his injury had healed."
How is it possible that the injury can be completely healed overnight?
"My lord, do we still need to continue hunting down Xiangliu?" the subordinate asked with a bow.
Xuanxuan paused, thought for a moment, and then said calmly: "We have missed the best opportunity to kill him. Keep your troops in place for now and have the remaining insiders act carefully and not arouse his suspicion."
After this ambush, he has understood Xiangliu's strength. Without being truly sure, he will not act rashly again.
What's more, Xiangliu might have an expert to help him, which is what worries him.
An unknown opponent is far more terrifying than a known opponent.
Subordinate: "Yes, I understand."
After a while, the guard Lao Sang came in from outside with a large piece of meat in his hand. After checking that there was no one else in the room, he lowered his voice and said to Xuan:
"Your Highness, I just learned from the butcher Gao that this Wen Xiaoliu has moved to Qingshui Town for several decades, even earlier than the butcher Gao. Lao Mu is a deserter from Xiyan who refused to fight. Ma Zi and Chuan Zi are orphans picked up by him and Wen Xiaoliu. Although Wen Xiaoliu is timid and greedy, he has a gentle personality and gets along well with his neighbors. He has never done anything evil."
After telling him all the news he had heard about Wen Xiaoliu, Lao Sang came to his own conclusion: "It sounds like there is nothing suspicious about him. He is just a doctor."
After hearing what Lao Sang said, Xuanxuan stretched out his arms, as if showing himself off: "What are you looking at me?"
Lao Sang answered without hesitation: "You are just like a wine seller, without any flaws."
Xuan nodded gently: "Indeed, there is no flaw, or it may be hidden very deeply. Let someone check it out. It is impossible for Ah Xi to get to know someone for no reason, unless this person is special."
It's not that Xuan knows Ling Xi very well, but he knows her a little bit. Ah Xi is a person who never does useless work, and the people he knows are definitely not useless ordinary people.
This Wen Xiaoliu, who allowed Ah Xi to approach her again and again, must not be an ordinary person. He needs to know why Ah Xi approaches Wen Xiaoliu.
If Ling Xi knew what Xuanxuan was thinking, she would just laugh.
The only reason she got close to Wen Xiaoliu was because of her identity and because she needed her to save Tu Shanjing in the beginning.
If it weren't for these two things, she would not have taken the initiative to approach Wen Xiaoliu.
After all, when Hao Ling Jiuyao's identity was exposed, the relationship between the two of them was quite awkward.
Old Sang immediately turned serious, fearing that this Wen Xiaoliu had some special identity, and responded, "Yes."
Ling Xi didn't know that Xuan was secretly investigating Wen Xiaoliu, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
Wen Xiaoliu's past could not be found by Yuxuan, and Wen Xiaoliu had changed her appearance. Even if Yuxuan searched Wen Xiaoliu thoroughly, he could not find out anything, and he could not find out that Wen Xiaoliu was Haoling Jiuyao. Don't think Yuxuan is smiling all day long now, but when he knows the true identity of Wen Xiaoliu, he will not be able to smile anymore.
At night, when Ling Xi was getting ready to go to bed, a fluffy bird landed in front of Ling Xi's window and chirped.
Ling Xi's eyes lit up when he saw the plump bird.
She walked to the window, nodded its head, and asked with a smile: "Why did you come to me? Where is your master?"
The fur ball raised its paws, looking arrogant as if it was the boss of the world, the master was second, and I was third. It raised its head proudly and chirped a few times.
Ling Xi didn't understand the bird's language, but was struck by its funny appearance. She smiled with curved eyebrows.
It is true that what kind of person you are, what kind of bird you raise. The bird takes after its owner, and the bird you raise is as interesting as he is.
"Your name is Maoqiu?" Ling Xi poked its little head. "Your master is quite good at naming. This name is very good."
When Maoqiu heard Ling Xi praising it like that, he immediately became proud, complacent, and ostentatious.
Ling Xi casually conjured up a spiritual flower and fed it to Maoqiu.
The whole bird was visibly happy and was jumping up and down.
"Your master feeds you well, making you fat and strong, and you live up to the name of Maoqiu."
Ling Xi touched the small and round body of the fur ball, just like touching a baby.
The fur ball, whose fur was almost touched off, looked helpless: Forget it, since she feeds me delicious food, I'll let her touch it.
After Maoqiu finished eating a spiritual flower, Ling Xi told him, "Go back to your master quickly. If you want to eat something delicious next time, come to me. Don't eat other people's food anymore, okay?"
The fur ball nodded, chirped once, and then flew away.
Ling Xi watched the ball of fur fly away, then closed the window a little, leaving only a small gap.
On a tree not far away, Xiangliu was lying on the tree trunk, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
Maoqiu flew to Xiangliu and sat down quietly.
Xiangliu looked at Maoqiu and showed no surprise. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you go to see her?"
Maoqiu immediately said a lot of gibberish, but Xiangliu seemed to understand everything.
After hearing what Maoqiu said, Xiangliu was very interested: "You mean she can pick flowers with ease, and feed you a medicinal herb with strong spiritual power? She also gives you a very comfortable breath?"
Maoqiu nodded: "Jiligurulujiligurulu."
Xiangliu smiled gently and looked at Maoqiu lovingly: "You are very lucky to be liked by her."
As he said this, Xiangliu recalled the scene of her rescuing him from the Colosseum more than two hundred years ago. He lowered his eyes and smiled. His long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, covering the tenderness in his eyes.
"I'm lucky too," he whispered to himself.
He was once in darkness, but later the bright moon took its own initiative and fell into his world, warm and bright, as clear as silver, and softened his world.
