Fox Love: Two Lives

Chapter 55 The Mystery of Washington

Wu Nian paused, "Of course I sent it to Washington."

"Then let's go." Putting it away, he took the lead, but was stopped, "Why, aren't you going to Washington?" Looking back, he raised the corners of his mouth, slightly sarcastic.

Wu Nian looked natural, "I'll just go. It's getting late, go find an inn in the city, we'll go to bed early at night, and we can start early tomorrow." It sounds reasonable, and there is nothing unusual about it.

Turning around, he stared at him for a moment, "Why can't I go? If it's late, it's a big deal to live in Washington, I don't believe we can't stay there for one night after sending our things to him?"

Wu Nian frowned slightly, "Jinse."

"I know, you don't need to make excuses. You think this matter is strange, so you want to go to Washington, but you are worried about me, so you don't want me to go." He said his plan directly, without any doubt, He looked at Wu Nian, his smile didn't change, but his eyes were serious, "If it were you, I wouldn't let you go, what would you do?"

"It's different..." He tried to persuade Jinse, but was interrupted.

"It's nothing different." There was a lazy and casual smile on his lips, but his tone was firm and non-negotiable.

Looking at each other without giving in, in the end, the two went into the city and asked people where Washington was.

That's right, they felt that this matter was strange, so they didn't talk about the spiritual power. The jade was also a high-quality seed jade. The box exuded a sandalwood fragrance. It should have been in the temple before. If they wanted to get it back, why only Send such a boy?Isn't such a valuable thing afraid of him seeing the money or what happens on the road?Therefore, this is not in line with common sense, and the accident happened to them, and they are asked to send Yu to Washington, isn't it even more strange?

However, if it was really coming towards them, who would it be?Who knew that they would appear here, or pass by here?

The sky gradually darkened, the sky turned dark blue, the setting sun was hidden behind a few clouds, and the golden glow covered half of the sky, dazzling and magnificent.

Washington is considered a wealthy family, you can tell just by looking at this mansion, but there is one thing that is not good.

"It's so dark." With a chuckle, he looked at the door in front of him.

Wu Nian nodded.

Although there is nothing unusual in the eyes of ordinary people, they can feel, or see, that gray layer, lingering like smoke.

The door was knocked, and after a while, a porter came to open the door, and saw a trace of doubt flashing in their eyes, "May I ask you?"

He took out the box. "Someone asked us to send this here, but the person is dead."

The concierge was taken aback, looked at the box in his hand, and then at them, suspicion flashed in his eyes, "Who is dead? Who are you?" The concierge asked with a hint of vigilance.

"I think your master should be more interested in this matter." He smiled slightly, and naturally pointed out that they should be allowed in, and talk to the master of Washington, instead of talking nonsense with one of his servants here.

After hesitating for a while, the concierge invited them in, walked around the corridor, sat down in the hall, and served tea.

"Two wait a moment, I will report to the young master."

Throwing the box on the table casually, he casually looked around, the layout was not bad, but it seemed that the air was more sinister than it looked from the outside.

Soft footsteps sounded, gradually approaching, and after a while, a man in white came out, his body was thin, he looked sickly, and his face was abnormally pale.He was supported by the maid and sat in the main seat, "I heard that the two of you have something for me?" The man looked at the two of them with a puzzled look on his face.

Living in such a place full of yin and being the master, how could he be in good health.However, compared to other places where there is no such thing as a dark place, strictly speaking, it is nothing, but it cannot be said that it is nothing to mortals.

Pointing to the box on the table, he said, "That's it. As for the rest, your servant should have told you everything." He looked at him casually and without any trace.

The man glanced at the box, "I don't know who asked the two of you to deliver this thing?" He glanced at the two of them.

"I don't know, I haven't asked yet. The clothes are similar to those in Your Excellency's residence." It was Wu Nian who spoke, and his eyes were full of inquiry.

"You can take a look at the things first." Jinse smiled, charmingly, but with a strange touch. As soon as she raised her hand, the box flew straight to the man, without any intention of hiding her identity.

The man was startled, and stood up abruptly, looking at the two of them in horror, "You, who are you!" The maid exclaimed even more.

Wu Nian didn't expect Jinse to do this, she didn't have time to stop her, a trace of reproach flashed in her eyes, but the other party didn't take it seriously.As long as the goal is achieved, why care about the method, he didn't do anything he didn't like to see.

"You can look at things first." He repeated, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, motioning for the man to open it and take a look, but for some reason there seemed to be a sarcasm in his eyes.

Xu Shi saw that the two of them had no other actions, and there was no danger to him. The man hesitated for a while, and slowly reached out to open the sandalwood-flavored box in front of him, "This is..." He couldn't help being surprised when he saw the finely carved Buddha jade pendant inside. , "Why is it in your hands? I obviously sent Ah Qing to get it, what about others?"

"He encountered an accident, so please send it to us." After finishing speaking, Wu Nian hesitated for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, the body of the boy from before appeared in the hall, "He is already dead."

Although the man was still frightened this time, he was not so gawkish compared to just now.He looked at the young man on the ground, as if he didn't understand Wu Nian's words, "Dead? But...how could..."

"Your jade pendant contains spiritual power, which attracted the covetousness of the demon, and killed him to get it. We happened to pass by, and he asked us to send the jade pendant." Wu Nian explained lightly.

After Wu Nian finished speaking, the man looked sad, "Ah Qing, I'm sorry..."

Jinse kept looking at him, with a hint of irony in her half-smile expression as if she was watching a bad show.

Coming out of the grief, the man looked at the two of them, "Thank you two masters for sending the jade pendant. This jade pendant is an inheritance from my ancestors. I took it to the temple to worship some time ago. I hope to get some spiritual energy. After I get it back, the house will be safe. Thinking that I asked Ah Qing to get it..." The man's address had changed from "you" to "superior", presumably because he had regarded them as some kind of powerful person just now, "Thank you for sending him... back .” The man said again, and glanced at Ah Qing.

"You're welcome, it's easy to do. We should leave when the things are delivered." The lazy tone was accompanied by the sound of clothes rubbing when getting up.

The man hurriedly stopped, "Wait a minute, you two!"

Stopping, he turned around and looked at the man with questioning eyes.

Wu Nian also stood up.

"It's easy for the two of you, but it's not for me. It's getting late now, why don't the two masters rest here and let me express my thanks." The man also stood up with a sincere expression.

The two looked at each other, and the corners of Jinse's lips curled slightly, "Then you're welcome."

The man beamed with joy when he heard that, "I'm Huaxi, I don't know what to call you two?"

"Jinser."

"Wu Nian." The simple two words did not introduce where he came from—maybe he thought it was unnecessary.

After getting acquainted with each other, Hua Xi ordered people to carry Ah Qing's body down, ordered that it be buried properly, and gave them a sum of money, and then asked people to prepare Jinse and Wu Nian's guest room.At this time, a servant came in and said that the dinner was ready, Hua Xi ordered: "Add two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks." Then he said to the two of them: "You two follow me to the dining room to eat."

During the meal, Hua Xi was very enthusiastic, as if he was very happy for their arrival, and everything seemed to be normal—it seemed.

The night is clear, and the bright moon is like a silver plate, inlaid in the dark sky, and the stars are twinkling, like a handful of broken diamonds scattered on it, beautiful and dazzling.

The breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, passed through the courtyard, bypassed the corridor, and swept into an octagonal pavilion. It seemed that they were nostalgic for the handsome two people inside, and refused to leave for a long time.

Jinse rested her stomach with one hand, tapped the stone table with the other hand, her posture was lazy, and she looked very comfortable, "How about it, I said I will let us stay." Blue eyes glanced at the person sitting opposite him, his tone banter.

Looking up at him, "I hope he won't let us stay."

"Because you don't want him to come for us or be a monster that will harm people, right?" Jinse's expression was not surprised, and her tone was light, "It's rare for you to have such an idea."

"Because you said that demons are the same as people, and they don't necessarily all harm people." There was no extra emotion in the cold voice.

Jinse smiled, "Yes, not necessarily."

Before, Wu Nian had always been full of hatred towards demons, and he did not hesitate to act, but now because of Jinse and some things he had experienced, he was a little confused, not wanting to let off the victim, but also afraid of killing a good demon , swinging back and forth between these two ideas, making his judgment also become hesitant.

After a moment of silence, Wu Nian asked, "Do you know who he is?"

Shaking his head, "He hid it very well. There is Yin energy here, so the atmosphere is confused. But since such a place is deliberately chosen, it means that we already know each other." The blue eyes flashed through the dark light, looking a little deep.

"The yin energy inside is stronger than outside, so he must not be the only one." Wu Nian frowned and thought.

Jinse smiled indifferently, "What are you afraid of? If you are absolutely sure, you won't put medicine in the food, just wait and see what happens." Now that I have confirmed my guess, how can I not be on guard?Really think they will eat those unclean things?But probably they couldn't think of any other way, so they used such unstandard tricks.

Who is the mastermind?
