"Nothing is more important than life." Li Congyao only glanced sideways, completely eliminating the threat of the night qilin: "This king only gives you one hour's time." Later, I will rush back to the house as soon as possible and sacrifice the stove with Qinglan. ”

I'm busy, how can I have the time to play with you?

The corners of the night unicorn's lips twitched for a long time, and finally squeezed out a smile on his lips: "Then, let's get on the boat as soon as possible." ”

He pursed his lips and refused to speak again. The four maidservants surrounded him and served him carefully. Although they had gentle smiles on their cheeks, their limbs were stiff and distinctly silent.

Jun Qinglan was extremely far away from them, and he could also feel that the mood of the dark night qilin at the moment seemed to be very unbeautiful. She didn't intend to peek into the secrets of other people's hearts, but only shrank quietly beside Li Congyao. The man wrapped her fingers in the palm of his hand, and the thick thick body of his body was blown open by the night wind, and it happened to be draped over her body, wrapping her slender body around him.

Li Congyao's temperament is cold, and his long-term illness has not healed, resulting in a cold body like frost. However, at this moment, by his side, he only felt as warm as spring, and the cold of winter was dispelled. Jun Qinglan couldn't help but get a little closer to him, and for a moment, she actually wanted to nest by his side like this and never leave.

However, the night breeze and the cold evaporation of the water instantly woke her up. Jun Qinglan took a breath, immediately straightened her body, and distanced herself from Li Congyao, and wanted to leave his big body impatiently.

"Lord Wang, I'm really sorry. Humble ....... ”

"Don't move."

“…… Kindness? ”

"Only by the king's side can we better ensure your safety."

"Oh."

Jun Qinglan gave up leaving Li Congyao, and he was humble or something, it was really not as important as his life! The soft and slender body of the woman next to her quieted down, obedient as a cat. Li Congyao withdrew his gaze on her without a trace, and his slightly pale lips pulled out a faint but warm smile.

"It's been a weird year." Jun Qinglan stood beside the boat, staring at the gurgling water under the boat, and galloped away. Merged into the boundless darkness, but a little strange floated in my heart.

"Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and it is the spring year in a blink of an eye. At this time of year, the river has long since frozen. I can still sail this year. ”

"Speaking of which, this year seems to be a lot warmer than usual."

"Even then, it's counterintuitive."

Jun Qinglan's hometown, Guanzhou Mansion, is a place with distinct seasons, on the south bank of the Lingshui River. In winter, goose-feather snow falls, leaving the entire river frozen in ice. When she was a child, she played on the ice with her brother, which she will never forget.

Yanjing is in the north of Guanzhou Mansion, and both the wind and sand and the climate are worse than Guanzhou Mansion. Winters are also longer and colder, and in previous years, the river was already frozen in the winter months. The weather in the month of Layue can still sail, no one can believe it.

Li Congyao hummed lightly: "This year's Lingshui River is much more lively than in previous years, so it should naturally be a little different." ”

The underground black market chose the building boat on the Lingshui River as the meeting place, and naturally took a fancy to its advantageous geographical location where it could be attacked, retreated, and defended. If the river froze, they had to go ashore to find a nearby meeting place. In Yanjing, I am afraid that there is no more suitable stronghold than Lingshui River.

Therefore, the fact that the Lingshui River can sail in winter must have something to do with them. However, to be able to defy common sense and achieve such an extent, it can be seen that there are indeed capable people hidden in the underground black market. Jun Qinglan glanced at the night unicorn who was being served by all the beautiful maids.

That man is very well hidden, but he is really a difficult person to deal with. Speaking of which, she always felt that this person looked at him with an indescribable sense of familiarity. Is it true that he wears a mask just to add to his majesty and mystery?

"It's here, please get off the boat."

The hull of the ship suddenly trembled, and with a muffled bang, it crashed into the huge building ship on the black market. I watched a wooden plank poking down from the big ship to serve as a floating ladder. The Night Qilin was the first to step on the escalator and smiled at Jun Qinglan and Li Congyao. From that point of view, the Night Kirin looks like a god high above. Such a gesture is not so much an invitation as a provocation.

Li Congyao untied the big strap, and couldn't help but say that it was draped on Jun Qinglan's body, and his slender fingers shuttled back and forth to tie the tie for her: "Let's go." ”

Li Congyao grabbed Jun Qinglan's fingers again and took her on the big boat together. Jun Qinglan looked at the big man who had wrapped herself tightly and sighed, that person walked so fast, it was clear that she was not allowed to refuse. This is good, she appeared in the underground black market wearing Duanwang's big hat, and her name as the first male pet of Duanwang even these big people living in the dark have to acquiesce.

Rong Xi Rong Han and Tang Ying followed closely beside the two, never leaving. The hall of the building was already full of people, and it wasn't until he saw them that Jun Qinglan suddenly realized that something was wrong. The last time they came with Yuan Tongtian, their eyes were blindfolded. It wasn't until you entered the hall that it was allowed to be unlocked. But today......

She glanced at the night unicorn again, and the person was already surrounded by four maids, and slowly went up to the Tianzi room on the second floor. He actually asked everyone to come on the boat like this, what was his idea?

"Let's go, let's go upstairs." Li Congyao pulled Jun Qinglan and walked towards the Tianzi room. There was no one to stop them along the way.

Jun Qinglan couldn't help but glance at Li Congyao a few more times.

"How?" Li Congyao's gaze slid across her face: "But suddenly I found this king's jade tree in the wind?" ”

Jun Qinglan looked sideways, can you say this as a serious and cold prince? The person next to him is not Jiang Yufan pretending?

"How?" Li Congyao frowned: "You don't agree with this king?" ”

"Ahem." Jun Qinglan coughed lowly to hide the embarrassment in her heart. What is the answer to this kind of problem? Whether you agree or not seems to be a little ...... Weird.

"I'm just curious about how much the prince bought on the black market. So different treatment? ”

"None of this matters."

Li Congyao entered his private room, but did not close the door. Make sure that the sound downstairs can be heard clearly. Rong Han and Tang Ying stood at the door of the room on the left and right, while Rong Xi smiled and handed tea and water to the two. Suddenly he brought out a plate of delicate dim sum from his baggage, and suddenly took out a jar of fine tea leaves. Jun Qinglan looked at it coldly, and in a trance, she had the illusion that she was going out for an outing today.

Is it really good to go out and enjoy it like this?

A gong burst was heard in my ears, and the man's deep voice came from the high platform downstairs: "The auspicious time has arrived, the market is open!" ”

Jun Qinglan looked downstairs and saw an old man in black standing on the stage talking eloquently. The man's hair was as white as snow, but his face was ruddy with a bit of delicate moisture, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

She frowned fiercely: "Zhou Ji?!" ”

This old man was the person who was on the same boat with them when she arrived last time, and he was also the person in charge of the underground black market in Yanjing City. Naturally, too......

"Ying Tiandao people?" Li Congyao glanced at him and opened his mouth lightly. There was a bit of coldness in his voice.

“…… Kindness? Jun Qinglan felt that something was wrong, and looked at Li Congyao with eyes like torches: "Has the prince seen Ying Tiandao people before?" ”

"There have been several encounters."

"This shouldn't be the first time the prince has entered the underground black market."

"Yes."

"The prince has come here several times, but he hasn't seen the steward Zhou Ji before?"

"Naturally."

"That's ......." Jun Qinglan half-narrowed her eyes: "Why did the prince only find out that Zhou Ji was a person from Ying Tiandao today?" ”

"This king is here to buy rhino horn and cinnabar for Xue Yi, and he has never cared about irrelevant people."

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips lightly, but she refused to relax in her clear eyes. seems to be not very satisfied with Li Congyao's explanation.

"The faces of the people of Ying Tiandao are very different from before." Li Congyao said slowly: "When this king saw him, it was already more than ten years ago, when he was a dying old man, although he had some fairy wind bones, he was about to die. However, today's Zhou Ji's face is like a child, where can he still recognize it? ”

Jun Qinglan turned his head sideways and glanced at Zhou Ji again, it was indeed as Li Congyao said. Zhou Ji's facial skin is very shiny, his face is red and apple-like, and his figure is also very strong. If it weren't for the snow-white hair, where would you see that it was an old man?

"Jun Qinglan." Li Congyao's eyes sank, and his voice sank a little: "Even if you don't trust anyone, you shouldn't doubt this king." If there is still someone in this world who is willing to help you sincerely overturn the case, that person is the king. This king is also your only chance! ”

The man's face sank into stagnant water, and his jade-like complexion made him look at this time inexplicably adding a bit of cold coldness, and the coldness that penetrated into his heart.

Jun Qinglan lowered her head: "The humble position has been recorded." ”

What's wrong with her? Why do you always feel that Li Congyao seems to know something about the marriage case, but he doesn't plan to let himself know. A noble son like him, there is no secret written in that family? In the past, Jun Qinglan would never use words to test the secrets of others, why did he keep his mouth open in front of him again and again in the past two days?

It is said that warmth is a boning knife, which can wear down people's will. It was precisely because of Li Congyao's repeated connivance with her that she almost lost her sense of proportion.

Jun Qinglan raised her eyebrows and sat upright. She and Duanwang are partners, and the trust and proportions they should have must be remembered. In the future, you must not take another step beyond the thunder pool.

Downstairs, black market trading is in full swing. Zhou Ji did not appear in person, and the abbot was a sturdy young man. The night unicorn has never shown up since it entered the house, but time is passing minute by minute. Jun Qinglan was secretly anxious in her heart, she had to determine Zhou Ji's identity as soon as possible.

However, where is the breakthrough?

There was another crisp sound in the air, and the young man on the high platform smiled towards the four sides: "This is the end of our auction today." Next, it will be the second and most important task of tonight's rally. ”

Jun Qing's blue eyes froze, isn't black market trading just auction items? Last time, I just cared about escaping, and I didn't see the second mission of the black market. What will it be?

"You have to pay attention." Li Congyao opened his mouth without warning: "This is your last chance." ”
