Hearing that there seemed to be a noise in the study, Bai Lingyu hurriedly hid in the corner.

Then the door of the study opened, and a figure in a black cloak hurried out of the study and disappeared into the backyard door.

Bai Lingyu hesitated for a moment, but still walked into the study.

"Father, is that the Red Flame?"

He had long known that his father had a relationship with this red flame, and he thought that the two were mutually beneficial and cooperative, but he never thought that this red flame was far stronger than he imagined.

The father is arrogant, especially after the monk is even more unpopular, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, except for the saint, there should be no one he is afraid of, let alone able to let him put down his body and grovel.

It seems that the status of this red flame in the DPRK must not be low.

"You don't have to worry about it." Bai Shangshu's tone was slightly cold, "It just so happens that someone wants to meet with Hongyan, and it is inconvenient for us to come forward, so you will go to the meeting for us for a while." ”

Bai Lingyu frowned slightly, he didn't want to participate in the things that his father and them were plotting against, but he had been unknowingly caught up in the whirlpool and had to compete with the whirlpool.

Two days later, in the Chunlai Teahouse, there were fewer people who came to drink tea after the liquid, and there was no hot scene for storytelling and singing in the teahouse at night, only a few people tasted tea in the teahouse.

In the private room on the second floor, Bai Lingyu sat in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside the window while sipping the tea in his hand.

He waited for a while, but the man his father had said was not there.

A pot of tea was almost cold, Bai Lingyu put down the teacup and got up to leave.

The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure stopped in front of him.

The two looked at each other, and for a moment they were both a little surprised.

Lu Chenghe sat opposite Bai Lingyu, and the two exchanged glances and confirmed each other's identities.

"I didn't expect you to be a Red Flame person."

"I didn't expect you to be a Red Flame person."

The two of them said the same sentence in unison, and then curled their lips with some contempt.

"I'm not like you, I don't have a master-servant relationship with Red Flame." On top of that, Red Flame has a lot of things she wants him to help with.

"In this case, if Lu Gongzi wants to ask me to bring it to Hongyan, just say it."

The person who connected the connection that his father said turned out to be his fellow disciple in Taixue, and Bai Lingyu was in a trance for a while.

He once thought that Taixue was a paradise that could make him forget his family grievances and forget the disputes between the government and the opposition, but he never thought that now the people in Taixue were also involved in this court battle.

"I don't know if Hongyan has ever told you that the reason why I will cooperate with someone like him is entirely because he promised me that he will try his best to use his power to help me find someone." Saying that, Lu Cheng and Conghua took out a small statue, "This person is the person I am looking for." ”

Bai Lingyu took the small statue handed over by Lu Chenghe, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a seven or eight-year-old child.

"What are you looking for a kid for?"

"To be precise, she looked like this ten years ago, and ten years later, she should have become a slim girl."

Bai Lingyu looked at this small statue and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Ten years ago, the portrait was still so crudely painted that it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find this person based on this portrait alone.

"It's really hard to start with a small portrait alone, why don't you tell me about the other characteristics of the girl you are looking for?"

"When she was separated from her family, she was only more than eight years old, she liked to wear green clothes, she had a cheerful and lively personality, and she still had a jade pendant on her lost knowledge, but unfortunately this jade pendant later fell into the hands of Lu Li, and this girl should still live in Yingzhou now." When they went missing, Xiaoyue was just over eight years old, so she was still young, but she should have been the age to remember, and she should remember that she was separated from her brother.

"Why did this jade pendant fall into Lu Li's hands, could it be that Lu Li also has some relationship with that girl?" Bai Lingyu couldn't help asking.

"Lu Li's girl is a hooligan, maybe when she sees that jade pendant is exquisite, it is normal to keep it for her own use." Lu Chenghe obviously didn't have enough patience to continue talking to Bai Lingyu, so he only hurriedly told a few words, and then left the Chunlai Teahouse.

Bai Lingyu sat alone on the second floor of the teahouse, looking down at the small statue in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the person painted in the small statue seemed familiar.

Maybe they've seen it somewhere before.

Bai Lingyu returned to the house, and the little servant welcomed him into the study.

"Is it okay for the young master to go and meet with the person who connected here?"

"It's fine." Bai Lingyu picked up the teacup on the table, raised his head and took a sip, and handed the little elephant in his arms to the little girl, "Find someone to check in Yingzhou, but there has been a girl who is similar to the person who spoke in this alley painting and is now about seventeen or eighteen years old, seven or eight years old and her family have been alone since then." ”

"Yes." Xiao Si took the statue, turned around and left the study.

In Taixue, the peaceful days passed day by day, and after another provincial pro-day was over, Lu Li returned to Taixue.

Several gentlemen are not in this Taixue. They are usually Wen Wenshu, and their lives are very boring.

At night, Lu Li thought about running out of Taixue again and going to the tavern in the city to have two taels of wine.

No sooner had she left the courtyard of the women's dormitory than she saw a sneaky figure sneaking out of the walls of the men's dormitory.

Looking at that figure very familiar, Lu Li carefully identified it, wasn't that Duan Lang, who had nothing to do all day and didn't want to make progress?

Looking at his appearance, it seems that he is also going to sneak out of Taixue to have fun.

Looking at his familiar appearance, it seems that he has been studying in Taixue these days, and he has slipped out in the middle of the night.

Lu Li suddenly had a playful heart, so he secretly picked up a stone from under his feet and threw it at Duan Lang's back.

Duan Lang was being hit by a stone in his back, he squatted under the tree next to him with some fear, the surroundings were quiet, and after he found that there was no danger, he looked at the surrounding situation with a probe.

It turned out that the thing he had snuck out had gone unnoticed.

Duan Lang breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to secretly climb over the courtyard wall to leave Taixue, a cool swishing sound suddenly came from behind him.

"Where are you going?"

This voice was very familiar, and Duan Lang turned his head with a dry smile.

"It turned out to be Lu Tongmen, I'm not worried about the spring test, I can't sleep late at night, come out to breathe."

It's a good sentence to worry about the spring exam, if she didn't know that he was a swinger who didn't like to read and didn't seek progress, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, she would really believe his nonsense.
