Chapter 38: The Beacon

"Jiang Lingxi."

Gifts are still exchanged, and Jiang Lingxi reported his name.

At this time, the two dishes that Yin Zhen had ordered before were brought over together, she brought the shredded chicken noodles to her face, and knocked the chopsticks on the edge of the plate twice, signaling Jiang Lingxi to eat together, as if she occupied this table first.

"Thank you just now." Yin Zhen took two bites, raised her eyes and said to Jiang Lingxi.

"I didn't help you much." Jiang Lingxi waved his hand a little ashamedly, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are soft and weak, I didn't expect you to be quite powerful." ”

Yin Zhen also smiled and said heartily: "It's just a little fur, it's enough to bluff these scum." Then he asked, "Are you a local or a foreigner?" ”

"Out-of-towners." Jiang Lingxi replied casually.

Yin Zhen sighed and took the initiative to say, "I'm local." ”

Then I told her about some customs and customs of Pixi, including some gossip anecdotes, and the atmosphere was relaxed. At the end, he pulled the conversation to Jiang Lingxi again, and said seemingly casually: "Did you come alone?" I mean Pissi. ”

This time, Jiang Lingxi hesitated for a moment before replying: "I came with Dongming's caravan. ”

"Dongming's caravan?" Yin Zhen showed a little surprise on her face, and then smiled casually, "That's quite far." ”

Jiang Lingxi is not the kind of person who likes to dig out his heart and lungs when they meet for the first time, after all, he has a task on him, so he didn't continue the topic in the depths.

In the next conversation, Yin Zhen took the initiative, basically what she boiled, Jiang Lingxi picked up what she could answer and answered a few words. Time was quickly consumed in the chat, and seeing that it was time to get better with Huang Zicheng, Jiang Lingxi didn't dare to delay, so he said goodbye.

At this time, Yin Zhen had already finished eating, hurriedly poured a sip of tea, and stood up with Jiang Lingxi, "I'll go with you." ”

Out of the noodle shop, Yin Zhen pointed in the direction of the right-hand side, "My carriage is over there, how do you go back?" Why don't I send you? ”

"No, you don't." Jiang Lingxi thanked politely: "I don't live far, just walk a while." ”

Yin Zhen let it go twice, but she still insisted on refusing, so she was a little helpless, looked at the sky and said, "This place is very messy, can you do it yourself at such a late hour?" ”

It's really messy, according to the script, she will have to run into two robbers later. Jiang Lingxi couldn't tell Yin Zhen that she was being protected by someone in secret, so she could only thank her for her concern, "I'll just be careful myself." ”

After saying goodbye to each other and walking for a while, Yin Zhen suddenly stopped Jiang Lingxi from behind, chased after her and stuffed something into her hand, "You take this with you." ”

Jiang Lingxi looked down and saw that it was the small peanut-shaped porcelain bottle that had hung on Yin Zhen's waist before, so he looked at her with some doubts. Yin Zhen smiled, and a pair of eyes looked exceptionally clear in the gradually darkening sky, "The customs of our locals are safe." ”

Since arriving in Pixi Country, Jiang Lingxi has seen more than once on the street that a local person has this hanging on his waist, which turned out to be a peace charm. Since it is not a very valuable heirloom, she did not give in anymore and accepted Yin Zhen's kindness. By the way, he took off the jade bracelet in his hand and handed it to Yin Hao, seeing that she was obviously stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "I'm not a particularly valuable thing, so I should exchange gifts." ”

Yin Zhen still stood still, Jiang Lingxi took the bracelet and shook it in front of her eyes with some confusion, "Don't like it?" ”

Yin Zhen finally came back to her senses and hurriedly shook her head, "No, it's just that I rarely had the opportunity to exchange gifts with people like this before." ”

Jiang Lingxi didn't think much about it, and when she took the bracelet and put it on, she said goodbye again.

……

On the second floor of a teahouse in Sidao Lane, Liutiao Street, west of Jizhou City, Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng sat opposite each other. To be honest, Zhu Yunwen was not very interested in this operation, although he looked out at this time, he did not pay attention to the place where Jiang Lingxi was about to pass downstairs, but enjoyed the night view of Jizhou. Listening to Huang Zicheng's hiss, he retracted his gaze, "What's wrong?" ”

Huang Zicheng didn't answer, his eyes stared at the outside, his eyebrows frowning slightly. Zhu Yunwen looked over and was happy, "Everyone is here." ”

I saw that in the secluded narrow alley, Jiang Lingxi, who was dressed in night, was facing two "road robbers", and was about to watch the play with peace of mind, but Huang Zicheng shook his head and said, "Those two are not our people." ”

"What?!" Zhu Yunwen glanced at the two people below twice, no wonder they looked so professional from appearance to temperament.

At that time, Jiang Lingxi and the two robbers happened to be on it, and they were about to face off officially, so Zhu Yunwen hurriedly leaned out of the window and shouted to the roof: "The plan has changed, hurry up and ......."

Before he could finish shouting, a white shadow flashed in his sight, followed by a short fight mixed with a few screams, and the two gangsters just opened their mouths to say a few words, and before they could get on Jiang Lingxi's clothes, they were inexplicably knocked down. Needless to say, that white shadow must be Yun Ze.

Zhu Yunwei was dumbfounded for a while, then smiled with relief, "That's right, with Yunze, that girl can't suffer." ”

Seeing Huang Zicheng's depressed face at a glance, he reacted: Yun Ze's appearance means that the plan has been exposed/exposed, at least this time there is no way to lure out the "weirdos" in the shadows.

After a while, Huang Zicheng rushed into the narrow alley, took turns with Brother Jie, and kicked the two gangsters completely regardless of their image.

"I told you to bully my sister! I told you to bully my sister ......"

"I'm telling you to delay! I'm telling you to delay things......"

It is not difficult to understand Brother Jie's sister's heart, but everyone, perhaps except for Zhu Yunwen, didn't understand where Huang Zicheng got so angry, and he didn't persuade him two or three times.

In the midst of the chaos, Yun Ze suddenly spoke: "It seems that a team of officials is coming this way." ”

"Won't it?" Jiang Lingxi was a little surprised, "We didn't have anyone to report to the official?" Even if you report it, you can't come so quickly, right? ”

Yun Ze believed that his judgment would not be wrong, and frowned: "Maybe it's just a routine patrol." ”

said, and forcibly dragged Huang Zicheng over, "Let's go, don't make trouble." ”

Back at the inn, Huang Zicheng's love was still a little low, Jiang Lingxi specially went to his room to condole, moved a stool to sit in front of him, and said as easily as possible: "What's the matter, it didn't work out this time, I'll find a way next time." ”

"You don't understand", Huang Zicheng sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, shook his head, and wanted to say something, when he raised his eyes, he happened to see the "peanuts" hanging on her waist, and couldn't help but be stunned, and asked her: "Where did it come from?" ”

Jiang Lingxi briefly told him what happened in the noodle restaurant, and when he saw that his attention was instantly diverted, he was a little puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with this little porcelain bottle?" Huang Zicheng motioned for her to take it off, put it in the palm of his hand and checked it, "Well, no wonder it will attract the servants." ”

Jiang Lingxi was even more surprised, leaned over to look at the small porcelain bottle, and didn't see the key for a long time, frowning and said, "What do you mean?" Huang Zicheng didn't answer directly, but pinched the porcelain bottle, opened it from the middle like peeling a real peanut, and immediately a black insect-like unknown species probe flew out, turned around in a small area, and finally fell back into the "peanut shell" in Zicheng's hand.

Jiang Lingxi couldn't see its specific appearance clearly, just looking at its size, coupled with the black wings, it was easy to think of flies, and he couldn't help but puff up his nose in disgust, and even stepped back with a stool, "What the hell ......?"

The people of the country of Pisi love to raise flies? Do you keep peanuts in the winter and reproduce in the summer?! It's disgusting......
