Chapter 142: I hope you keep your promise
Since eating the snow ginseng that Xiaobai brought back, Ah Ran obviously felt that his body was much better. On this day, An Ran was still in the cave as usual, and Xiaobai didn't go out today.
It has been three days since Leng Zhen last came over, and seeing that the matter on Yanyun's side is imminent, there is still no news from Leng Zhen's side.
An Ran was a little anxious, it seemed that the situation in the city was not very clear, otherwise, Leng Zhen would have come up a long time ago.
Although she was very anxious, all she could do now was wait.
Finally, the next day, the cold earthquake came up at noon.
As soon as he saw Leng Zhen, An Ran asked, "Leng Shu, what's the situation?"
Leng Zhen's breath was a little panting, and it could be seen that he was in a hurry to catch up.
"Miss, it seems that the new emperor should have given up the search, I heard that there was a riot in the Northern Wilderness, and the new emperor personally led the troops to pacify, and he was not in the capital for the time being. Leng Zhen said, telling An Ran all the news.
Hearing this, An Ran breathed a sigh of relief, this is very good, at least she can go down the mountain now, not afraid of being discovered by Nan Lingye's people.
"So what are you waiting for, we'll go down the mountain now. An Ran said.
"Wait, eldest lady, you have to change your clothes first, just in case, you will meet officers and soldiers after going down the mountain, if you still show people in women's clothes, you are afraid that if you are recognized, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Leng Zhen handed over the burden in his hand to An Ran.
An Ran nodded, Leng Zhen was worried and reasonable, but she was too anxious.
Leng Zhen waited outside the cave, and after An Ran changed his clothes, he went out and said, "Leng Shu, let's go." Xiaobai followed her, almost inseparable.
Leng Zhen looked at Xiaobai, and then looked at An Ran, Xiaobai can't go down the mountain now, if he is seen, I'm afraid he will recognize An Ran at once, after all, there are only a handful of people who dare to keep snow leopards as pets, let alone a woman.
An Ran understood what Leng Zhen meant, and then squatted down and said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, you can't follow me down the mountain now, it won't be until night, and I'll pick you up at night." ”
Xiao Bai looked at her for a while, as if he understood the meaning of her words, and then let out a low howl and walked to the door of the cave, his eyes had been looking at An Ran.
An Ran knew that Xiaobai understood what she meant, and it was saying goodbye to her.
An Ran smiled, glanced at Xiao Bai complimentarily, turned to Leng Zhen and said, "Leng Shu, let's go." ”
After the two went down the mountain, they came to a not far from Granny Lin's house, An Ran wanted to go in to see them, but was stopped by Leng Zhen.
"Miss, you can't go over now. Leng Zhen said, he didn't know An Ran's thoughts, but Granny Lin's family had been heavily suspected, and they had been searched two or three times, although now Nan Lingye had not let people search An Ran's whereabouts for the time being, it didn't mean that he wouldn't send someone to monitor those suspicious places.
If An Ran passes over now and shows his feet, it will be troublesome.
An Ran thought about it again and again, but decided to follow Leng Zhen's opinion, although she is now showing people in men's clothes, and her appearance is also slightly disguised, which is not easy for people to recognize, or rather, it is difficult for anyone to recognize her. However, she must not take the slightest risk, otherwise all the sacrifices and efforts she has made before will be in vain.
"We went into town. An Ran said, those beautiful phoenix eyes glanced at Granny Lin's home a few times, with infinite attachment and reluctance.
Soon, she will be back, and she will definitely come back in the open.
After entering the city, An Ran and Leng Zhen went to Qianzhuang separately, also to avoid people's eyes.
When he came to the backyard, An Ran asked, "What about the traitor?"
"In the secret room, you have been strictly guarded according to your orders, and it has been determined that he can no longer divulge your whereabouts. Leng Zhen replied.
"Take me there. An Ran said in a deep voice, if you want Nan Lingye to be convinced that she is dead, you have to rely on the power of that traitor.
When he came to the secret room, the guy named Xiao Ji was tied to a beam, and it seemed that Leng Zhen didn't torture him, but just tied him up and guarded him tightly.
When Xiao Ji saw her, he looked at her with sharp eyes, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
An Ran came closer, exuding a condensed aura all over her body, and she asked coldly, "Why did you betray me?"
"There is no reason, in this world, only money is the most real. Xiao Ji said stiffly.
An Ran bowed slightly, but didn't say anything, her eyes drooped slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
On the contrary, it was Leng Zhen, seeing Xiao Ji's rude appearance to An Ran, he couldn't hold his breath for the first time, "Presumptuous, you dare to be so rude to the eldest lady, don't die." ”
Who knew that when Xiao Ji heard his words, not only did he not restrain himself, but he became even more crazy, "Life? In this world, those of us who live at the bottom, how much is a life worth of silver taels?"
"You ......," Leng Zhen pointed at him angrily.
An Ran raised her hand to let Leng Zhen not be angry, her phoenix eyes raised slightly, looked at Xiao Ji, her good-looking diamond lips were slightly hooked, revealing an indifferent smile, and said, "Since you value silver two so much, why don't I make a deal with you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ji looked at her with a slight frown and asked, "What deal?"
"From now on, you have to do what I say, if it is done, I will give you a considerable amount of silver taels, and you will leave Beichu. An Ran said slowly.
As soon as he heard this, Xiao Ji was very interested, but he was a little unsure, and he asked suspiciously: "I once betrayed you, aren't you afraid that I will betray you again?"
Hearing this, An Ran just chuckled, disagreed, and replied, "That's right, you betrayed me." Logically speaking, I shouldn't have trusted you anymore, but what you just said made me change my mind, you are for money, I can promise you twice the price of your previous buyer, and if you do it, I will give you some additional payment. Of course, if you ruin my business, for example, betray me again, I will naturally have a way to make your life worse than death. ”
Saying that, An Ran's expression became extremely ruthless, and there was a bloodthirsty light in those good-looking eyes, which couldn't help but make Xiao Ji shiver.
I heard that the person in front of me is the eldest lady of the Dasheng An family, although he has not had much contact with An Ran, but he has more or less stood up about An Ran.
Now seeing An Ran's bloodthirsty phoenix eyes, somehow a chill invaded his back.
"What do you want me to do?" Xiao Ji agreed to cooperate with An Ran.
"What you have to do is very simple, just tell your original master, I have died on the snowy mountain outside the city, and you don't have to worry about the rest, I have my own arrangements. An Ran said with a sneer.
"Just like that?" Xiao Ji looked at An Ran in disbelief, she gave such a generous reward, just to let him do such a simple thing?
"This matter, it seems very simple, but in fact it is not as simple as you think, what you have to do is not only to tell him the news, but also to convince him of it, otherwise, you don't want to get the silver taels. An Ran said, those cold eyes stared at him, and there was no room for negotiation.
Xiao Ji looked at An Ran sideways, and sure enough, the rumors from the outside world were not wrong, An Ran was a powerful character.
"As for how to convince him, it depends on your ability, and I believe that with your means, it is not difficult to convince him. An Ran looked at her obliquely.
Xiao Ji thought for a while, and then replied: "Okay, I promise you, you also have to keep your promise, and after the deed is completed, give me a reward and let me leave." ”
After An Ran and Leng Zhen came out of the secret room, Leng Zhen looked at An Ran in confusion and asked, "Miss, do you still need to think about this matter?"
"Do you have any opinions?" An Ran asked rhetorically.
"I just think that this Xiao Ji still can't be trusted too much. Leng Zhen thought, this person who has been with him for so many years will betray them, if he betrays them again, everything they have done before will be in vain.
"Don't worry, Leng Shu, do you think I didn't think of this?" An Ran said mysteriously.
She had thought of this a long time ago, and she had her own way to make Xiao Ji dare not betray them again.
Seeing An Ran's confident appearance, Leng Zhen knew that she must have a plan in mind, so he didn't need to worry too much. Although An Ran is not very old, she is mature and steady in doing things beyond her age.
"Since the eldest lady already has a plan, then I won't say anything more. That Xiao Ji, are you going to let him go now?" Leng Zhen asked.
If you want Xiao Ji to help them as soon as possible, then you have to let him go as soon as possible.
"Let's go tomorrow first, let him stay in the secret room for another day, but be sure to give him food and drink. An Ran confessed.
Leng Zhen nodded, indicating that he understood, what did he think, and asked An Ran again, "Miss, do you know who Xiao Ji is working for?"
Hearing this, An Ran just chuckled, with an unfathomable smile in his eyes, and responded: "No matter who he was working for before, in the final analysis, he was just working for money." ”
As he himself said, in today's world, if there is no silver tael, then those who live at the bottom are just living secretly, what is the meaning.
Indeed, the world is bleak, and everyone lives in the world for something.
"The eldest lady is right, as long as there is money, he will definitely do his best for us. Leng Zhen said.
An Ran just smiled slightly, and did her best?
Xiao Ji, like many people, is all for money, just as Anxin Ning has done many bad things for fame and status.
"Miss, now you are going to meet the person in charge of salt transportation, right?" Leng Zhen asked, An Ran was very anxious about this matter, he thought, An Ran also hoped that it would be implemented as soon as possible.
"Tomorrow, please Leng Shu go and make an appointment with that person. An Ran commanded.
