Chapter 140: Hibiscus Hall
Ling Caiwei pondered, if you want to get to Diancheng early today, you must first solve a few of them! Then she spread her hands and explained helplessly: "A few masters, the little woman has no money on her, and I am afraid that she will not be able to rob her money." ”
The thin monkey who fell to the ground got up and rubbed his hands excitedly: "No, no money, robbery." ”
The big head listened to the thin monkey express his meaning quite clearly this time, showed a satisfied look, and pointed at Ling Caiwei to scare her: "Lao Tzu, whether you have money or not, you will take it back for recreation." ”
Ling Caiwei felt sorry for them, and it seemed that she could only use unreasonable methods when encountering unreasonable robbers. She helped the hat on her head and said, "Since this is the case, let's try to see who wins and take me away." ”
The logical concept of bandits and robbers is four words: bully the soft and fear the hard. has dominated this mountain for three years, and has never met a woman from a good family who sees them and cries and grabs the ground?
The big head looked at the delicate woman in front of him, who did not carry any weapons and did not look like a person who practiced martial arts, but listening to her tone seemed to have a great origin.
He pushed the skinny monkey to the front and instructed him: "Go, let it be you." ”
The thin monkey raised his knife and pounced on Ling Caiwei with great interest, and the result can be imagined, Ling Caiwei knocked him down with three punches and two kicks.
The big head said to the other three, "Let's go together." ”
Ling Caiwei took off her hat and revealed a face of indignation: "No need to fight, even if you win, I will go back with you." The one with the big head, you lead the way. ”
"Damn, ugly. Several people saw a scarred face under the hat and ran away in fright, leaving the thin monkey behind and being trampled on the back by Ling Caiwei.
Ling Caiwei forced out the location of their lair and asked him to go back and bring a message to the big head, and she would visit when she was free, and then let him go.
The next mountain road went very smoothly, Ling Caiwei was very satisfied with her new appearance, thinking about when the pharmacy would not be busy, and she would take her master to suppress a bandit together, and she should be able to eliminate harm for the local people.
It was almost noon, and she had already walked around the most prosperous streets in Diancheng. I picked a few pharmacies, and finally chose the one with the fairest price, bought some commonly used herbs and sulfur, and went to a shop specializing in selling medicinal seedlings to buy some rare medicinal seedlings, and then I remembered the agreement with Yan Feiying, and met every ten days in the Furong Hall on the second floor of the banquet building.
Ling Caiwei looked up at the sun, estimating that Yan Feiying was already waiting there at this hour, she hurried to the banquet building, walked past a shop selling candied fruits, hesitated, and fell back.
She looked at the sign and pondered, Mo Chenyan loved to eat these sweet things the most. She weighed the broken silver in her hand, saved a tael of silver by shopping around for medicine, and bought him candied fruit and leftover.
Thinking that Mo Chenyan might be sacrificing hue at the moment, she chatted with the widow Wang, and she picked up osmanthus candy and preserved peaches and weighed half a catty each.
She carefully put her things into the package, and suddenly felt like a man's back, as if a gaze was glued to her. She looked back, looking through the white veil to see who was so bold.
The streets were full of people, men, women, and children were doing their business as usual, and that gaze disappeared. She gathered the doubts in her heart, put the package on her back, and went to Yan Feiying's appointment.
When she arrived at the banquet building to report the room she was going to, the shopkeeper sent her to the second floor diligently.
The shopkeeper knocked on the door of the Furong Hall: "Master Jia, the guest you are waiting for has arrived." Someone inside answered, and Ling Caiwei pushed the door in.
There was no hibiscus in the Hibiscus Hall, but I saw a thin man sitting next to the table by the window. Ling Caiwei looked at the long face of the vegetable water and laughed out loud.
The shopkeeper closed the door and exited in a playful manner, and Yan Feiying sat there with a flash of color in her eyes.
More than a dozen dishes, large and small, have been placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, all of which are Ling Caiwei's favorite meals.
"It smells so good. Just when we were hungry, we talked as we ate. She went to unwrap her body, and Yan Feiying said, "What were you laughing at just now? Is my face ugly? I dislike it myself." The most reluctant to look in the mirror every day. ”
Ling Caiwei pretended to look at him seriously, took off the hat on her head, and leaned her face in front of him: "Am I so good-looking?"
Yan Feiying jumped up exaggeratedly, pointed at her in horror and asked, "You just use this face to disgust your master every day?"
Ling Caiwei cut her hair and nodded yes.
Yan Feiying stroked her chest: "I'm relieved." ”
"Rest assured what?"
Yan Feiying took a bunch of vegetables and put them in her bowl, and instead of answering her question, she said, "No wonder he doesn't want to come out with you." ”
Ling Caiwei didn't bother to explain so much to him, so she only ate the contents of the bowl with her head bored.
Yan Feiying waited for her to finish eating, and then took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to her.
"The latest clue, the copper rings are not two, but four. The whereabouts of the other two are unknown. However, Gan Zhong has a remnant painting in his hand, which should be in the copper ring. The next step is to figure out how to get the picture in your hands. ”
Ling Caiwei looked carefully at the plan listed by Yan Feiying, thought for a moment and said, "There is a key person who should be able to break through. She is Gan Zhong's favorite concubine, named Xinlian. In the days when I pretended to be Yuan Heng, I had heard people talk about this woman, and Gan Zhong almost obeyed her. ”
"Are you saying that you want to use this woman named Xinlian to help you get the painting?" Yan Feiying asked.
"Otherwise, with Ganzhong's personality of using a silver needle to test poison when he drinks a glass of wine, do you think we can go to his house and turn the painting out? It's a piece of paper, he can take it with him, or he can put it anywhere he thinks is safe. Even if we break into his house and rummage through it, we may not be able to find it. What's more, he is suspicious by nature, and the guards in the house can almost stand all over the courtyard, and not only can we not find what we want when we go in, but it is likely to startle the snake, which makes his defensive heart even heavier. Instead, I missed a big thing. So, you can only start with this woman. ”
Yan Feiying knew that Ling Caiwei had been eccentric since she was a child, and she had the most ghost ideas when she followed him, especially when she played the game of arranging troops, she often used a formation that made him and Ling Wuxian unable to parry, presumably inheriting General Ling's talent.
"Then how do you approach this woman? Gan Zhong usually doesn't let her leave the house without permission. And, being faithful to her for saving her life, how sure are you that a woman will change her mind about her benefactor?"
Ling Caiwei also felt that this matter was a bit of a headache, and pushed open the window to breathe.
The windows of the Hibiscus Hall faced the street, and the bustling noise on the street reached their ears very clearly when the windows were opened. She looked at the people coming and going, everyone had their own goals to go to, as if she was the only one who was getting more and more dazed.
Yan Feiying has been watching her silently, seeing her gaze suddenly freeze, her eyes flashed with pain, and she followed her gaze to look at the street, there is a jewelry shop opposite the banquet building, and there is a man with a long back standing outside the shop, and there is an entourage standing next to him, holding a few boxes in his arms, obviously buying a lot of things.
A bright woman walked out of the jewelry shop and smiled at the man. Ling Caiwei suddenly felt that the sun was dazzling, and she didn't know where to look for a while.
