"You're at the beginning of a hundred miles, aren't you?" Autumn leaves suddenly looked up at him, his eyes were sharp but with a faint fluctuation,

Yuan Ze's face hung less than half an inch above the tip of her nose and stopped, and she almost couldn't help but reach out and stroke it: "Baili Chu, you bastard ......." ”

But the next moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and the silver-gray pupils were like a stream of clear light, enveloping the autumn leaves: "White." ”

He only used one word to make Akibabai's outstretched hand freeze instantly.

He asked, "Does Ah Chu often talk to you like this?" ”

Akiba Bai didn't speak, just lowered his eyes and withdrew his hand.

Yuan Ze looked at the person in front of him, although her clear almond eyes were very well hidden, but he still caught a fleeting loss, he sighed lightly, reached out for her to pin the hair that fell from her cheeks behind her ears, and said gently: "Bai, don't worry, Ah Chu won't let you be alone all the time, he has a narrow heart, and he can't help you stay in a place where he can't touch it, let the poor monk follow you these days." ”

Autumn leaves turned her face away uncomfortably, Yuan Ze's gentleness made her only feel guilty, but this guilt was unusually subtle, after all, Aze and Ah Chu were one after all, so she didn't know how to face this somewhat embarrassing and strange scene, so she only turned around and nodded lightly: "It's okay, it's just that this trip is dangerous, you have to be obedient." ”

As long as he doesn't come out again, it's easy to talk about anything.

What's more, she has also seen this person's stubbornness, and she will really not be able to get rid of him for a while.

When Yuan Ze heard this, he also smiled and bowed: "Amitabha, don't worry." ”

She glanced sideways and saw that Yuan Ze's original eyes were not a little gloomy, but they were still clear and in the water, her mood was slightly relaxed, her eyes fell on his outfit, and she couldn't help coughing lightly: "Aze, since you are wearing this dress, in order to avoid goofing, it is better not to speak." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Ze nodded thoughtfully.

So, Bai Gongzi was dashing, and the rumors of a beautiful maid around him spread far and wide, and everyone in the Mei family coincidentally 'encountered' Bai Gongzi and his party when Bai Gongzi led a 'pair of beautiful maids' through the Mei family compound.

There are many encounters, and the 'Bai family' knows what is going on, and Autumn Leaves Bai is also happy to smile at this kind of 'chance encounter', and he doesn't feel unhappy, but he leads the 'pair of beautiful maids' to the various gardens.

When the mood is good, from time to time he also invites those passing servants and stewards to sit in the garden pavilion and talk loudly, and if anyone says something that makes her happy, the silver in his hand is not stingy to reward.

When Steward Zhen knew about this, he only stroked his beard, and sneered with some disdain: "Young and frivolous, pretentious, not to mention compared with our master, even with the eldest young master of the Mei family." ”

The little steward on the side was a little worried: "But this person is suspected of buying people's hearts, and he has dotted a lot of points up and down our mansion, and he also asked people to secretly send me silver, which is to urge that batch of swords." ”

When Steward Zhen heard this, his contemptuous smile deepened: "Hmph, if he is quiet, the old man is still worried, but in the end, he is a rough man, and the means of buying people's hearts are so shallow and anxious, for fear that others will not know that they are doing forbidden things, and you can just take it if you have money?" ”

When the little steward heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Yes." ”

……

"Si Shao, one qiē is very smooth, Zhen shopkeeper Although they are very cautious, Xiao Fu and I have followed him and the people around him alternately, and we have roughly figured out that their private iron-making furnace is about the direction where Yeshan is located, but the strange thing is that I tried to follow people into the mountain several times, and after following us, we found that we couldn't keep up with their way." Xiao Lou, dressed as a small maid of the Mei family, whispered in the room with autumn leaves.

Autumn leaves raised their eyebrows: "Can't keep up with the road?" ”

Xiao Lou was thin, with a delicate and slightly sharp little face, a pair of cat-like eyes were unusually bright, and he nodded: "That's right, it's obviously following people, but when you enter a certain section of the mountain road, you suddenly lose their trace, Xiao Fu and I have lost it, and the strange thing is that after a while, they seem to come out of thin air and come out of another mountain road." ”

Qiu Yebai pondered for a moment: "This sounds a bit like Qimen Dunjia. ”

Xiao Lou was stunned: "Qimen Dunjia, isn't that the story told by the storytellers?" ”

Akiba Bai shook his head: "No, it's not a story, it's true." ”

There are masters of Qimen Dunjia in the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, including this time she closed the Tibetan Sword Pavilion and started the hidden array also belongs to the Qimen Dunjia array, she has traveled to the rivers and lakes with the old immortal for many years, and she has some knowledge, but it takes talent to learn Qimen Dunjia, and it is related to feng shui, stargazing, cave exploration, and the art of Kanyu, but the old immortal said that she does not have much talent in this area, and she has not taught her too much in this area, she only knows a little.

If it is said that the Qimen Dunjia is set up near the sword casting place of this Yeshan, it must be to prevent someone from trespassing.

She suddenly remembered that when she was in Huainan, when she went to rescue the old partridge, she had observed that the wood and stone arrangements there near the house where the old partridge was held seemed to be vaguely mysterious, and she was afraid that someone superior had moved, so she immediately turned to the second set of plans, directly taking Mei Su hostage in exchange for the old partridge.

So this time, could it be that the mechanism in Yeshan was also set up by this master?

The Mei family is full of real talents, with 3,000 diners.

Qiu Yebai narrowed his eyes slightly, and he didn't know what the relationship between the Du family and the Mei family was, the Du family was so relieved that the Mei family controlled most of the economic lifeline of the empire, and recruited so many people, it was a subtle sense of winning the championship.

Or, did the Du family do this through the hands of the Mei family?

"If it's Qimen Dunjia, you can only break through the formation by following a certain pace and doing some specific actions, you just follow, and it's not strange that you can't get in." Akiba Bai nodded.

"I'll go with you if necessary."

When Xiao Lou heard this, his eyes widened like a cat, and he quickly shook his head: "It's too dangerous, not to mention that it's cold in the mountains, not to mention that it can't do without the auxiliary seat here." ”

Qiu Yebai looked at Xiao Lou's eyes full of undisguised worry, her heart moved slightly, she reached out and poured him a cup of hot tea, and smiled indifferently: "My martial arts are higher, and I also have an understanding of Qimen Dunjia, so I am better than you." ”

"If that's ......." Xiao Lou was flattered and took the teacup, thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "My subordinates have followed me for so many days and found that every time the people who go in and the people who come out are so few, if you want to mix in it, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not find it, but if you want to refine weapons in the mountains, there must be many people living in the mountains, all of whom have to eat and drink, and the rape looks at the recent kitchen with a large number of purchases, if you mix into the kitchen or transport the food and drink team, you will definitely be able to enter the mountain smoothly!" ”

Qiu Yebai looked at Xiaolou and hesitated for a moment: "This idea can be tried, but it is not good if the time drags on for too long." ”

Xiao Lou smiled, his eyes crooked: "Don't worry!" ”

Then he hesitated for a while, looked at the tall maid who was meditating not far away, wrinkled his nose a little dissatisfied, and muttered to Autumn Leaves: "Sister Ningxia is beautiful, but it's a pity that she is mute, but even so, every time I see her sleeping, meditating, or eating, people who don't know still think she is the master." ”

Qiu Yebai glanced at the meditating 'Ningxia' not far away, touched his chin and said lazily: "It's okay, I like him like this." ”

She asked him to meditate with his back to herself, otherwise she would want to laugh when she didn't pay attention to see 'Ningxia' meditating so seriously, so she still saw his back this time.

Xiao Lou saw Qiu Yebai say this, so he didn't say anything, just quietly raised his cat-like big eyes and looked at her, lowered his head and took a small sip of tea, while secretly glancing at Qiu Yebai from time to time, he drank a cup of tea for a long time before reluctantly reluctantly retiring.

After Xiao Lou withdrew, the 'dumb Ningxia', who had been meditating and chanting, suddenly said faintly: "That child is in love with Xiaobai's benefactor." ”

Akiba Bai let out a faint 'um' and continued to read without raising his head.

Ningxia also continued to meditate silently.

Outside the window, the snow was falling and the sky was gloomy.

……

Three days later, it was night.

A black shadow slid down the beam of the house swiftly and fell to the ground, jumped up like a cat, landed on the ground, and then touched all the way to the back door of the Mei Mansion, and sure enough, seeing that the back door was brightly lit, he squinted his eyes and looked coldly at the cart of things being loaded into carriages under the command of a steward.

Those who loaded the car seemed to have mastered the car, and their movements were extremely swift, and there was hardly any sound.

He lurked for three days without sleep, and as he had deduced, he was sure that he was going to transport supplies into the mountains today.

Xiao Lou quietly gestured towards the darkness.

At this moment, a figure dressed as a cook, who was also thin, suddenly appeared from behind the door and headed out the back door.

The young man dressed as a cook rubbed his eyes, looking like he had just gotten up in the middle of the night and gone to the wrong place, and when he reached the back door, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he called out in a low voice: "Ah! ”

When the steward saw him, he immediately scolded: "Rape, why are you here?" ”

Rape looked at the scene in front of him blankly and then at the steward, and stammered, "I...... Oh...... I go to the toilet...... Took the wrong way back to the house. ”

The steward's eyes flashed with murderous intent in an instant, and he slowly leaned towards him quietly, but Rape looked at the chef who commanded the dishes on the other side with a blank and innocent expression: "Master, you got up in the middle of the night to move the goods, why don't you call it an apprentice?" ”

The sound of 'master' made the chef on the side move, remembering that rape is well-behaved and clever on weekdays, and serves himself as half a master on weekdays, so he couldn't help but whisper: "This kid was bought a few days ago, and he doesn't know the road, anyway, he doesn't know anything, since everyone is here, if he does it, the people in his family will still make trouble, and he can't say that he can't make any extraneous branches, so just let him deliver the goods?" ”

The steward hesitated for a while, looked at the stunned appearance of the rape, then frowned and nodded: "That's it, this matter shouldn't have been involved in the living, but what you said makes sense." ”

After all, there are other people living in the mansion, and Steward Zhen has repeatedly emphasized the need to be careful and cautious, after all, this is a matter of losing his head, and he is afraid that it will be too eye-catching.

"While it doesn't snow tonight, we need to hurry up." As soon as the steward gave the order, the convoy carried a large amount of supplies and left the Meijia branch directly and quietly in the middle of the night.

Rape became part of the convoy in a 'muddle'.

Before leaving, he looked at the beam of the house as if inadvertently, and saw a cat-like dexterous shadow following him, so he turned his face back, sat honestly in the car, and went out of the city with the convoy.

The patrolling soldiers didn't seem to see anyone walking through the night in violation of the curfew, and opened the city gate, and the convoy went all the way out of Yecheng, and sped up towards Yeshan.

It's just that none of them noticed that a black shadow also quietly lurked in the last car, and the whole person was as nimble as a gecko under the car.

However, for most of the hour, a dozen or so convoys arrived at the foot of the mountain, and Rape saw from a distance that there were many people holding torches waiting for their arrival at the foot of the mountain.

Originally, Rape thought that they would enter the mountain smoothly, but they did not want the convoy to stop when they reached the foot of the mountain, and the steward who led the carriage jumped out of the carriage and ordered everyone to get off, while the big men with torches walked to the carriages and opened the carriage doors, looked briefly at the contents of the carriage, and sat in the position of the coachman.

Rape's eyes flashed with anxiety in an instant, it turned out that their mission was only to send grain, grass, bedding and other things to the foot of the mountain, and after handing them over to the people in the mountain, they had to turn back, what should they do?

Rape was anxious, but he had to get out of the carriage obediently, because he was the one who joined suddenly, so he could feel that the people around him were staring at him, and if he made the slightest mistake, he was afraid that he would die here.

The steward looked at the rape and didn't ask anything, but he relaxed a little, and after counting the number of people, he said, "Everyone return in the last of the largest carriages." ”

Rape was helpless, but the people of the Mei family were too strict and cautious, he couldn't make small moves, so he could only reluctantly follow everyone to sit in the last carriage, deliberately sitting on the back of the coldest car, his heart was anxious, but he was helpless, he could only frequently take his eyes and secretly look at the bottom of the last carriage.

It's just that until the steward drove a car escort and the coachman back, Rape didn't see that familiar figure, let alone give him any instructions.

Xiao Lou has always been the smartest and most clever among them, and if he is out of line, it will be a failure of the operation this time.

If you miss this delivery, I'm afraid that it will take half a month and a month to send things to the mountains, how can you afford it?

But just as Rape watched the wagon of horses carrying supplies already departing one after another, and he almost wanted to jump off the carriage on the way back, he suddenly noticed a familiar black shadow not far away suddenly jumped out from under the last carriage.

The black shadow jumped into the car like an agile cat, and suddenly shook his hand, and a steel claw directly wrapped around the neck of the big man who was driving, and the big man's majestic figure shook a few times, and then fell backwards silently.

The sound of the wheels of the carriage gurgling drowned out the sound of the big man's struggle, and the originally agile and thin figure pushed the big man directly into the cabin, and he held the reins to stabilize the carriage and followed the convoy all the way to the mountain.

Rape breathed a sigh of relief instantly, but watching the convoy gradually disappear in the dark dense forest, his heart involuntarily hung up.

……*……*……*……

"It's the third day." Under the promenade, Autumn Leaves looked at the gloomy pale thick clouds with snow on the horizon, and his expression was a little stagnant.

"Yes, it's the third day that Xiaolou has been lurking in the mountains." Ning Qiu also said softly.

"Still haven't heard anything." She frowned slightly.

This is not her Hidden Sword Pavilion doorman's mission, Xiaolou is the first time they have a real combat mission after all, originally she thought that Rape and Xiaolou are one in the light and the other in the dark, so that if there is anything, they can take care of each other, but she didn't expect that only Xiaolou could enter in the end.

"Jiren has his own natural appearance, let's believe in Xiaolou." A hint of worry flashed in Ning Qiu's beautiful autumn pupils, but it was more firm.

And the 'Ningxia' on the side looked at Qiu Yebai, and suddenly reached out and gently held her soft wattle.
