Qinghe helped Lan Xin put on a black cloak and flexibly fastened the belt for her with both hands. Reaching out and putting on his hood, the whole person disappeared into the darkness. Qinghe raised his eyes again to look at the dark sky outside. pursed his lips and said worriedly: "Girl, there is not even a star tonight, so let's take the slave and maid with you." ”
Lan Xin tugged the hood forward, hiding her entire face inside. Raised his hand and patted Qinghe's shoulder, and comforted him in a low voice: "I've told you many times, don't worry, it'll be fine." Besides, everything has already been arranged, and I'm just going to look at it in secret. ”
"But・・・・・・・" Qinghe was about to say more, but was interrupted by Lan Xin's waving hand, and said in a low voice: "If you go out of the house with me, in case someone comes, who will cover me?" Qinghe's face was pale, pursed his lips, and looked at Lan Xin in embarrassment, "Okay, don't worry, I'll be back soon." ”
As he spoke, Lan Xin pushed open the window, and Hongxuan, dressed in a night suit, was already waiting there. Lan Xin grabbed her outstretched hand, and jumped out with a force under her feet. Qinghe lowered her voice and shouted anxiously: "Hongxuan, you must take care of the girl." ”
Hongxuan nodded vigorously and solemnly promised: "Sister Qinghe, don't worry, I will definitely bring the girl back unharmed." With that, with a force on their arms, the two of them swept across the roof, trying to jump out of the house.
Qinghe stood in front of the window, looking fixedly at the direction in which Lan Xin and the others had disappeared, and after a long while, he closed the window. Make Lan Xin's bed and put a pillow in it, making it look like a person is sleeping in it. Putting down the layers of gauze tents, the candlelight in the room was extinguished, and he lay down on the soft couch in black.
After Lan Xin left the mansion, he walked into the alley, mounted the horse he had prepared, and galloped away. The horses' hooves are wrapped in cloth in advance, so no matter how fast they are, there is not much noise. Aunt Bing led people to protect them in their unique way.

In a long-abandoned dock, Mrs. Mu stood quietly on the boat with a hat on her head, a black cloak on her body, and her arms folded in her hands. I don't know how long later, the man in black behind him whispered in his ear: "Helmsman, there is the sound of water, it should be them coming." ”
It was not clear in the haze, and I could only tell from the entire outline that it was a boat slowly rowing over. When I got closer, I heard a slight sound of water, and it was obvious that the other party was also a master of the water. Mrs. Mu waved her hand at the people beside her, and the boatman gently shook the oars, and the whole boat disappeared silently in the darkness.
Standing on the dock, the shopkeeper Liu saw that the big ship was docked, and ordered his subordinates to dock the code, and after the token in his hand was closed. Lan Yi waved his hand to unload the ship, and Liu's shopkeeper ordered someone to carry the goods to the carriage.
Both sides are busy with the work at hand, orderly and orderly. Twenty or thirty people, but they didn't make any sound. In less than half an hour, the cargo on the ship was unloaded, and Lan Yi waved his hand to let people get on the boat.
Liu's shopkeeper also commanded people to move the remaining boxes to the car. The two sides cooperate tacitly, as if they have been working together for a long time. Lan Yi stood at the bow of the boat, clasped his hands into fists, and said goodbye to Shopkeeper Liu. Liu's shopkeeper also bowed his hand to the other party.
Xiongfei stood in the shadow behind Lan Yi and whispered, "There is a boat parked there in the northwest, and on the surface, there are not many people on board, about seven or eight people. The fleet was strategically positioned to hide itself in the shadows and keep an eye on the entire dock. ”
Lan Yi's eyes were firmly fixed on the situation on the shore, and he replied in a low voice, "The girl had long expected that there would be someone watching on the sea. As long as they don't follow our ships and try to get to the bottom of us, they don't care. ”
"Well, got it. Xiongfei whispered, "Shall we return now, or will we report to the girl and then return?"
"Let's go home. Lan Yi waved his hand and said, "Today's first transaction, the girl will definitely come over." It's just that we don't know where she's hiding. The sails were raised again, and the ship turned slowly, leaving only the ripples that could not stop spreading.
After the sea was calm again, Mrs. Mu gave a faint order: "Dock!" The boatman rowed the oars, and the boat slowly leaned on the dock. Mrs. Mu jumped onto the shore, and the shopkeeper Liu hurriedly came over to salute, bowed down and said, "Helmsman, everything is ready, and you can set off at any time." ”
"Hmm. Mrs. Mu nodded and ordered, "You take a few people to stay and deal with the traces here, and the others will follow me first." ”
"Yes, helmsman. Everyone agreed in unison. Mrs. Mu glanced around, turned over on the horse neatly, clamped her legs, and walked forward obediently. He was followed by two guards, and behind him were two carriages. The horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth, so there were so many people who didn't make much noise.
Madame Mu sat upright on her horse, watching her surroundings vigilantly. Looking at the person sitting on the horse opposite, he was shocked, and subconsciously clenched the reins in his hand. secretly said in his heart: This Lu Zhendong is really not simple, and the impostor's fleet is also thriving in his hands. He was cautious enough, but he didn't expect to be noticed by him.
Lu Zhendong looked at Mrs. Mu opposite and was also a little surprised, and raised his eyes to look behind her. Both cars were covered with black cloths, and there was no sign of it. He had heard from the impostor that it was Mrs. Mu from Xiaoyuan who had appeared on various docks these days, even those abandoned docks. Apparently looking at the terrain, I'm afraid there will be action in the next few days.
He knew that Mrs. Mu in Xiaoyuan was actually a person from Mingyue Tower, and her status in Mingyue Tower was not low. With the momentum of Mingyue Tower's development in recent years, he was keenly aware that the people behind Mingyue Tower would definitely not be simple. He only thinks about how to settle down, and he doesn't want to cause trouble. Therefore, when he received the notice from the people below, he just told the people below that as long as Mrs. Mu didn't want to make a move against the impostor or the Lu family, there was no need to pay attention to other things.
What I didn't expect was that Mrs. Mu chose to act today. Coincidentally, he was driven to the mulberry garden and met him, and now he can't pretend not to see. Looking at the unkindness and vigilance in Mrs. Mu's eyes, Lu Zhendong touched his nose helplessly, arched his hand, and regarded it as a courtesy, drove the horse to the side, and dodged the road in the middle.
Mrs. Mu nodded at Lu Zhendong, which was considered a return gift. Lowering the hat, the horse continued to walk forward. Hands fall on the hilt of the knife, intentionally or unintentionally, and eyes look around vigilantly.
