The man laughed enough but didn't answer, just looked at Gao Ran fixedly, as if he wanted to see through her true intention of asking to meet Yun Jie—but at least he shouldn't want to hurt him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to come to him specifically to help with this.

"I was remembered for just one face, and I can still find this place...... If you really want to go your own way, I believe you can do it......"

With that, the man stood up, turned away without further words.

"He's ......"

"It's okay, let's go back to Gao's house. When he's ready, he'll come to me. ”

"Good. ”

Gao Ran and Gao Xi first watched the man walk out of the tavern, disappear into the crowd of people on the street, and soon seemed to merge with most of the people on the street, Gao Ran asked Gao Xi to settle his wine money for the man before leaving together.

On the way, Gao Xi asked with a little doubt: "Ran'er, how do you know that he didn't pay for the wine?"

Gao Ran glanced at Gao Xi and didn't understand why he suddenly became interested in such an inconsequential matter, but he still replied:

He was dressed in coarse clothes, and he specially chose the most inconspicuous corner to sit in, obviously not wanting to attract attention. And his dress will also make people mistakenly think that he is just an ordinary person who can be seen everywhere on the street, and he is still the kind whose income is barely enough to make ends meet.

And men like this, who are poor and over forty years old, it is not difficult to think of them as if they were young most likely that there would be no woman willing to marry them. Therefore, if he didn't go to Zilou to buy his own children, most of the poor people of his age would probably be alone. Therefore, for a person like him, as long as he takes care of himself, the 'whole family' will not be worried.

"And don't you think that such a man, who can afford to consume the pastime on weekdays, is more to his taste than tea, especially the cheap, tasteless, and habitual wine that is drunk in large bowl......s?

"What does Ran'er mean is that he is pretending to be a poor person? So he will not prepay for the wine at will, let alone ask for a jar of wine casually without care, but will be like those poor people, when he wants to drink alcohol, he will drink a bowl, and when he checks out, he has to pay for every penny of wine, for fear of spending more?"

"Hmm. He observed it carefully...... Also preferably near the city gate......"

"Ran'er, do you suspect that he is actually observing the environment and trying to rebel?"

"It's not like a rebellion, it's just that with his protection of Yun Jie...... If my guess is correct, he probably wants to be just in case...... After all, the best protection is to have enough chips in your hands to make the other party jealous - although this will bring a lot of trouble, and even cause death, but at the same time, such a weighty chip is also the only reliable talisman for Yun Jie to protect himself. ”

"So, he'll definitely pass on the word for you and facilitate your meeting as soon as possible?"

"Hmph, he didn't dare to slack off. ”

After the two returned to Gao's mansion, Gao Xi stayed in the guest room of Gao Ran's courtyard. He also gets along well with Yumatsu, who lives in the same courtyard. When You Song was at home, he would also listen quietly with Gao Ran. It's just that, unlike Gao Ran's enjoyment, the reason why he has to participate every time is that in addition to wanting to be as inseparable from Gao Ran as possible, there is actually another thought that always drives him to get used to the daily behavior of "listening to the piano" as soon as possible: he remembers that Dong Tianyi is also a piano idiot. - It's a copy of Yusong!

At least, evaluating Dong Tianyi in this way can make Gao Xi have some balance between Gao Ran's treatment of Dong Tianyi, otherwise it is really difficult for him to balance: Obviously, he is the one who is really born and died with Gao Ran along the way, but in Gao Ran's heart, there is always a corner that no one can touch, and it is Dong Tianyi who is there! How can he endure such unfairness? Therefore, he can only try to find various reasons to justify himself - even if it is self-deception, he also needs a reason that can make him psychologically balanced. And now, he has finally found such a reason - You Song.

——

Two days later, the man appeared in Gao Ran's small courtyard again as he had when he first met Gao Ran, dressed as a high-ranking subordinate and without alarming anyone else, including the spies sent by the various parties lurking in the shadows.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard grass of the small courtyard, Gao Xi appeared in the courtyard almost at the same time and came to greet him. - Obviously, Gao Xi had already set off to go out to greet him when he was about to arrive, and he happened to meet him.

"It was Mademoiselle who asked you to come. "As soon as the man saw that it was Gao Xi, he told the truth very firmly: it was not Gao Xi who noticed his arrival and came to greet him, but Gao Ran instructed him to do so in advance, and he happened to appear here at this point in time. - Although Gao Xi's martial arts are not low, they are still a lot worse than him - at least not less than ten years of skill behind, so if you want to be able to perceive his arrival so easily, with Gao Xi's current skills, you can't do it at all. - but Gao Ran can.

This, even if he didn't count the personal confirmation of the last time he saw Gao Ran in person, just because Gao Ran looked like he had been waiting for a long time when they first met, he had already impressed her. Therefore, when he saw her again, although he was surprised, he did not doubt her true ability. - Even if he still doesn't know how she did it?

"Miss, please wait a moment, and she will change her clothes and come out. ”

As soon as Gao Xi's words fell, Gao Ran came out. I saw that she was now dressed as a man, and she was still dressed as an ordinary person—just like the clothes that the man wore under the clothes of the subordinates, and would appear in front of the people after leaving the house for a while. In this way, when the three of them go outside and walk together again, they will never have the slightest sense of disobedience.

When the man saw it, he deliberately glanced up and down carefully. only to find out that he had always been dressed as a common person, and by the way, I vaguely remembered that when I first saw him last time, he seemed to be dressed similarly...... It's just that last time, because I paid too much attention to Gao Ran's sudden appearance, I ignored Gao Xi beside her. Moreover, because Gao Xi is not as deep as Gao Ran, who is no less than him, it is easier for people who are obviously inferior to themselves to turn a blind eye to Gao Xi than to remember......

"Uncle, I'm ready, please lead the way. As soon as he walked up, Gao Ran took the initiative to politely greet him.

The man nodded in satisfaction, and then, without saying a word, led them in the same way he had come, and left the mansion again unconsciously. - Of course, with such a move, Gao Ran can only bother Gao Xi with her on her back. Because she doesn't know how to do external work—not even light work.

"You're weird...... Obviously, the internal strength is profound, and even better than me, how can it not even be light?!"

"It's not that I'm weird, it's that you have too little knowledge, so it's so rare and weird. Besides, even if I don't know martial arts, I can still use my own way to achieve my goals. - Do you say, is the end important, or is the means important?"

The man was choked back by Gao Ran, but he unexpectedly had no confidence to fight back, and could only be stunned for a long time unable to say a word - he couldn't admit that he actually agreed with her statement in his heart at this time, right?
