Chapter Eighty-Eight: To the Sanctuary
"What's wrong? Don't want to go? You have to think about it! 100,000 silver, and a mansion? Seeing that Bai Xiao was silent, Leng Manyan opened his mouth again to tempt Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao made a bitter face and said bitterly, "Although the reward is high, I really don't know, if I go, I will have the life to come back and enjoy it." ”
"What do you mean?" Leng Manyan questioned.
"My lord, you don't know, the Western Regions is full of horse bandits, it's very dangerous, it's nothing, the key is to enter the holy area, you have to enter the holy mountain, the holy mountain is full of demonic beasts, it's very dangerous, you dare to go, I don't dare to go, I'm afraid of dying there, I won't have my life to come back and enjoy it." Bai Xiao explained the reason why he was reluctant to go.
Only then did Leng Manyan know that the Western Regions Country was such a dangerous place.
However, now that she is ready to fly, she has to send it, Leng Manyan has to go, why she wants to take Bai Xiao with her, it is because Bai Xiao is strong, and one more person with such strength will help Leng Manyan more, so Leng Manyan will not give up Bai Xiao so lightly.
But Leng Manyan knows very well that twisted melons are not sweet, and the more times like this, the more they should be indulged.
Pretending to be indifferent, he turned around and laughed coldly, "Then you are afraid, and I am not strong, but I want to sue you, wealth and danger, you want to live a free life, every day wine-colored fish and meat, and on the other hand, you are afraid of death and life, if you continue to do this, you can only do this in this life." ”
"My lord......" Bai Xiao's face turned cold.
"Needless to say, I don't have time to waste on you, we'll leave in the afternoon, I'll just come and say goodbye to you! Pray that I'll come back! After Leng Manyan said this, she walked away.
Bai Xiao stood stupidly in place, at a loss, and his heart was in a mess.
Leaving the Wanwei Gambling House, Leng Manyan returned to the Shenduan Mansion, she just went back for a while, her butt was not yet hot, Long Xiaofeng was carrying a large bag of baggage, and walked in from outside the mansion.
"Are you ready, let's go now." As soon as he entered the hall, Long Xiaofeng said to Leng Manyan anxiously.
Leng Manyan chuckled and said happily, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Didn't you say it's okay for the afternoon? ”
"Don't worry! Now that the people sent by the Holy Domain to pretend to be the father and the queen mother have been exposed by us, if the action is not fast, I am afraid that the father and the queen mother will be in danger. Long Xiaofeng frowned and expressed the anxiety in his heart.
Leng Manyan fell silent.
According to Leng Manyan's thoughts, it is impossible for the Holy Domain to do something to the old emperor and the old queen, if they want to do it, they would have done it a few years ago, so why wait until now?
Thinking of this, Leng Manyan threw Long Xiaofeng a reassuring look, "Don't worry, in my guess, the Holy Domain will not do anything to the emperor and queen." ”
"How can you be so sure?" Long Xiaofeng asked.
"You think! The Holy Domain has been deliberate, and it has taken so many years to build such a wide tunnel under the Qi Capital, which must have his usefulness, this is one of them, and the other is that the Holy Domain must want to make some deal with the emperor, but the emperor is reluctant to agree, so he will be imprisoned in the Holy Land, and during this period, they can only send Ji Long and Ji Yao to pretend to be the emperor and the queen. Leng Manyan quietly analyzed the reason for this to Long Xiaofeng.
After some analysis, she almost guessed most of the Sanctuary's thoughts.
Long Xiaofeng also felt quite reasonable when he heard it, and put the burden on the ground, Long Xiaofeng took a long breath and forced himself to relax, "It seems that this matter can't be rushed!" Call! I should calm down. ”
"You should really calm down and sit down and rest for a while! I'm waiting for someone. Leng Manyan grabbed a chair and threw it to Long Xiaofeng.
Long Xiaofeng pulled up his robe and asked curiously, "Who are you waiting for?" ”
"Bai Xiao, I went to inform him before, with his temper, he should come." Leng Manyan smiled mysteriously, and he had already eaten Bai Xiao in his heart.
"You gave him the previous 50,000 taels of silver?" Long Xiaofeng asked curiously.
Leng Manyan nodded noncommittally.
Although it was said that going to Licheng and catching Qin Huaiyu Bai Xiao did not help much, it all relied on Ao Jinlong and his musket team, but one thing is for sure, Bai Xiao tried his best, Leng Manyan felt that if he promised to give it, he had to give it, he couldn't rely on the debt, he had a reputation once, and it was easy to say what he would do next time.
Leng Manyan is such a character.
When the two were talking about Bai Xiao, Song Shiyu walked out of it, and as soon as he walked into the hall and saw Long Xiaofeng, Song Shiyu's face was pulled down, he jumped over angrily, and sat opposite Long Xiaofeng, with a feeling of hatred on his face.
Long Xiaofeng let out a wry smile and hurriedly said, "Don't speak, I know you want to scold me now, you can scold me in your heart, I'm not angry." ”
"You ......" Song Shiyu gave Long Xiao a smile.
"I've made up my mind, I have to go." Long Xiaofeng's stubbornness also rushed up, at this time, he would not listen to anyone who advised him.
Song Shiyu had no choice but to sigh and sit there sulking with his head down.
The atmosphere in the hall became awkward, and when Leng Manyan was about to open his mouth to break this embarrassment, Ao Jinlong swaggered in from outside, "Man'er, see what I brought you?" ”
"What?" Leng Manyan was surprised.
"There are many horse bandits in the Western Regions, all of them are guys who kill people without blinking, although you are all masters among the fighters, but one person is difficult to defeat with four hands, it is inevitable that there will be a time when the war spirit is exhausted, I will give you a few muskets now, and use them for self-defense at critical times." As he spoke, Ao Jinlong stretched out his hand and asked his subordinates behind him to pick up a few muskets and hand them over to Leng Manyan's hands.
Leng Manyan looked at this retro style musket, but he was a little inexplicably excited in his heart.
Since bidding farewell to the 21st century, how long has it been since Leng Manyan saw a gun? Touching these guns, Leng Manyan really has a lot of intimacy in her heart, you know, in the 21st century, she used to deal with guns almost every day, and she already had feelings for guns.
Handing over the gun to the three of them to pack, Leng Manyan stood up and bowed to the Aojin Dragon, "Ten princes, Manyan is grateful." ”
"Alas! What else do we say thank you, you are destined to become a princess in the future, and the things of this prince are yours. Ao Jinlong patted his chest and shouted with a manly idea.
Leng Manyan heard that he was panicked in his heart!
Long Xiaofeng sat on the side, frowning, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, Wan Yanrong and Ji Shaohua both came to see Leng Manyan and others, and Leng Manyan and others also chatted with the two for a while and said goodbye to the two.
Until the two of them said goodbye and left, Leng Manyan still didn't see Bai Xiao's figure, Long Xiaofeng stood beside Leng Manyan and said with a smile, "You miscalculated this time!" He's definitely not coming. ”
"Impossible, I promise he will come, such a high pay, he wants money and doesn't want to die, can he not come? Hehe......" Leng Man's speechless stall hand.
Long Xiaofeng exclaimed, "How much did you promise him, let's hear it?" ”
"Not much! 100,000 silver, give a mansion, did he really help us rescue the emperor, and your royal family can't afford to give this little reward? Leng Manyan stared at Long Xiaofeng and asked.
Long Xiaofeng twitched the corners of his mouth distressedly.
To be honest, he didn't want Bai Xiao to come with him at all, and if he couldn't save someone, he wouldn't say anything about it, just talk about Bai Xiao's temperament, if half of it was a little tempered, it would be difficult to wait.
As soon as he thought of this, Long Xiaofeng's body trembled, and he stretched out his hand to pull Leng Manyan, "Let's go!" Don't wait, wait until it's dark. ”
"Also, count the number of people, a knife, red clothes, Jin Ke, you, me, Wang Xie, the six of us in two carriages, just right, let's go! Before dark, I rushed to the nearest post station outside Qidu to rest. Leng Manyan counted the number of people, and after seeing that there was no problem, she made a move and pulled Long Xiaofeng into the carriage.
Six people, two cars and two horses.
This is all the manpower who went to the Holy Domain of the Western Regions to save the old emperor and the old queen, maybe you don't believe it, Leng Manyan and Long Xiaofeng went to the Western Regions to save people this time, it is so shabby, so shabby that there are not many people.
But Leng Manyan doesn't want to do so much, in Leng Manyan's opinion, people are fine but not more, more is easy to expose the target, fewer people are better to do things, and the strength of the six of them is reasonable, with these six people, it is enough to save the old emperor and the old queen.
Wang Xie and a knife, each sat in front of the carriage, took the whip and picked up the horse, and the carriage drove out with a roar.
But before the carriage had gone far, a figure chased after him from behind, and shouted as he chased back, "My lord, the prince, wait for me!" I'm coming, I'm coming. ”
"Is it Bai Xiao?" Leng Manyan poked his head out of the carriage.
After a closer look, it was Bai Xiao who came after him.
Leng Manyan retracted his head, looked at Long Xiaofeng with a smile on his face, and said happily, "Look! I'll just say he'll come! It's really here, we have more help. ”
"Cut! I'm not uncommon! Long Xiaofeng muttered angrily.
At this time, Bai Xiao had already rushed to the side of the carriage, and jumped into the carriage one by one, Bai Xiao got into the carriage of Leng Manyan and Long Xiaofeng without saying a word, "Oops! It's late, it's late, I've packed some things, don't be surprised by the adults and the prince. ”
"It's okay, it's good that you can come, you've been to the Western Regions, and you can help us show us the way." Leng Manyan smiled faintly and said to Bai Xiao.
"No problem, just die! If I don't die, I will have money and a house when I come back, and if I marry a few more daughters-in-law, then I will be satisfied with nothing. Bai Xiao nodded proudly.
Leng Manyan and Long Xiaofeng glanced at each other, and both of them laughed out loud.
In this way, the seven people left Qidu together and went to the Holy Land, but none of the seven people noticed that their carriage had just left the Shenduan Mansion, and in a corner outside the Shenduan Mansion, a few ghostly people ran away quickly and headed in the direction of the Linwang Mansion.
