Chapter 69: The Tempest
In the inn, after the broken tables and chairs that had been cleaned up, Ye Jingyi was sitting at the table, holding his cheeks and saying to Ye Rong: "Brother, the master just ran away, what should we do?"
He didn't expect that Mu Yunlan would leave directly like this, and there was no time for them to prepare. He knew that Mu Yunlan hoped that they would not follow her when he did this, but that was their master and their princess, if Mu Yunlan had three longs and two shorts, then the two brothers would not have to live. Besides, except for Zhang Quancai's matter, Mu Yunlan didn't leave any words, and they didn't even know when she would come back.
Because this small city is not very far from Qingcheng, it only takes one day to reach it, so Mu Yunlan decided to reach Qingcheng as quickly as possible without rest in the middle, and then go directly into the valley.
That way, they can get to the valley very quickly.
Just when Mu Yunlan was doing everything in an orderly manner, on the other side, Zhang Quancai decided to go to Zining Prefecture in person and talk to the prefect there about the situation here.
Liu Tai, the prefect of Zining Prefecture, is the one who sold his official position to himself before. And he may not be taken care of by others, but he is Zhang Quancai, but Liu Tai can't ignore it, because over the years, the money he has given to Liu Tai is not a few. And if something happens to him, then he Liutai will not have a good life.
So, with such a mentality, after returning to the Zhizhou Mansion, he directly asked Ding Gui to prepare things for him. And the guards who were in the inn before, he didn't have the time to pay attention to them.
I don't know why, that feeling of restlessness is getting stronger and stronger, and this feeling directly causes him to be very irritable now, so he still decided to deal with Mu Yunlan's group first.
When Mu Yunlan was planning to be outside alone, Chu Qian directly asked Hua Feimo to arrange an identity for her in order to make it convenient for her.
Chu Qian has no rights, but as the young master of the Hualing Chamber of Commerce, he has absolute real power, so in this way, Mu Yunlan became a representative of the Hualing Chamber of Commerce as Suifeng. It's just that no one else knows about it.
When he was in Qingcheng, Chu Qian objected when he saw Mu Yunlan looking like a follower again, and when Mu Yunlan asked why Chu Qian was opposed, Chu Qian didn't know how to say it.
But in the end, Chu Qian still told her the news that Nangong Yurui was still looking for Suifeng. Chu Qian originally thought that Nangong Yurui would only pay attention to "Suifeng" on a whim, but now it seems that Nangong Yurui is determined to find "Suifeng".
Therefore, when he saw that Mu Yunlan actually used this disguise with the wind, he said that he was unwilling to say anything. But in the end, Mu Yunlan said to Chu Qian: "Why should I hide? Is it because Nangong Yurui is looking for me, but I didn't do anything, I just walked around the Qinglou at that time." Although I don't like Nangong Yurui either, but now, I can lure the snake out of the hole and see what he is looking for me!"
And this is what she wants to know the most, because Nangong Yurui has been looking for her for more than three months, and it is false to say that she is not curious. And she won't go to death by herself, so it's better to just appear directly, because now she is in the dark, and Nangong Yurui is in the light.
Seeing that he couldn't say anything about Mu Yunlan, Chu Qian could only give up in the end, but he still told him side by side that Mu Yunlan must be careful and careful. If something happens, be sure to tell him as soon as possible.
After Hua Feimo returned to the capital, he became the coquettish and bewitching flower butterfly in red, because he was just a businessman, so he would not tell others what he did like Chu Qian, or go out secretly to do things.
And this time when he went back, Chu Qian knew that he could no longer be the idle prince who had nothing to do with him, even for Mu Yunlan, he couldn't be so passive anymore, he didn't want to before, but now he didn't want to, he didn't want his beloved to be hurt in the slightest.
And that time on their way to Yunshu Kingdom, they encountered an assassination, Chu Qian knew that the main messenger behind the scenes must not be simple.
Everything Chu Qian has to do now, Mu Yunlan doesn't know, because she also has her own things to do, and Chu Qian doesn't know what she wants to do, but none of these can hinder the relationship between them.
The sky was still a little overcast, the air was a little humid, and it looked like it was about to rain, but there was no wind in such a sultry day, as if it was calm before the storm. But the more this happens, the heavier the rain will be.
Mu Yunlan looked up at the weather, and after a long time, he frowned and said to Baili Ling: "We're going to hurry up, this day, it looks like it's going to rain, and maybe it's still a torrential rain." ”
Baili Ling nodded in agreement, so the two of them rode their horses and moved forward directly at full speed.
And at this time, in the valley where Baili Yufeng lived in seclusion, an old man as old as him looked at Baili Yufeng standing in front of the small bamboo house and said, "The twenty-year period is up, what are you going to do?"
Although the old man did not hide it, he was dressed in a dark robe. This, combined with the strange aura around him, made him look extremely dark. However, the red light on his face had the temperament that made him look like he had all the fairy wind bones.
However, Baili Yufeng looked at the old man who spoke, and he didn't show much performance, so he said directly: "Yes, the twenty-year period is up, let's start." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Have you chosen a place, because those two apprentices of yours are not easy, I don't want to be found by them before we start." ”
Hearing Baili Yufeng say this, the old man in black smiled and said: "You think I am you, as early as a few years ago, I sent them away, and told them that they should not come to me if there is no need, so now, they can't take care of me at all, you can rest assured." ”
After saying this, the old man in black seemed to think of something again, and said sarcastically at Baili Yufeng: "It's your stupid grandson, can you do it? If not, you just admit defeat." ”
He had seen Baili Ling and knew what kind of person Bai Li Ling was, so he believed in his two apprentices. And now it seems that Baili Ling is not here, even if they all disappear, how can that stupid boy find them.
That's right, just looking. Let's not talk about the identity of this old man in black, let's talk about what they have to do now, it is a game, which also contains a bet, and now, it is the beginning of this competition.
"Nalan You, you don't care what kind of person my grandson is, besides, I am also a person with apprentices now, so two of me on my side and two on your side are completely equal. I won't cheat in the wind, even if the two of them are not as good as your two apprentices, I won't say anything. But now, I'm not going to throw in the towel. ”
Baili Yufeng, whose face turned red because of the anger he heard the words of the old man in black, directly said what was in his heart. But now the thing he regrets the most is to pull Mu Yunlan in.
Since he accepted this apprentice, in addition to the smell and identification of medicine, there are some medicinal materials that have taught her, and he has not taught Mu Yunlan anything, on the contrary, Mu Yunlan's papermaking in medical skills is sometimes higher than him.
He was very confident that Mu Yunlan was very confident, but he still felt a little reluctant to pull her in like this.
When Nalan You heard Baili Yufeng say that he had another apprentice, he was only a little surprised, and then regained his composure, because he knew what Baili Ling's character was, so he was not worried at all about the apprentice he accepted again.
But since both sides are two people, it's better to just forget it, so that it will look more realistic.
So, Nalan You said directly: "Since this is the case, let's start, let's leave." ”
When leaving the valley, Nalan You looked at the messy house that was made by Baili Yufeng, and laughed: "I didn't expect that we would also continue to live together one day, as if we had returned to that time." ”
Ignoring the somewhat crazy Nalan You, Baili Yufeng didn't say anything, and left directly.
At that time, Mu Yunlan was going out of the valley, and the reason why he let Baili Ling leave with Mu Yunlan was because he wanted to exercise Baili Ling, and another reason was that the day of this competition between him and Nalan You was approaching, as for what kind of game it was, none of them could say anything before it was really over.
Seeing that it was about to rain, Mu Yunlan looked at Qingcheng not far in front of her, and sighed, it seems that they can't go directly into the valley today, because she has already felt that the bean-sized raindrops are falling sparsely.
Sure enough, as Mu Yunlan expected, when they entered Qingcheng as fast as they could, the rain fell directly as if it had come out with a bucket.
But fortunately, they finally arrived in Qingcheng and were not drenched in the rain on the way.
"Baili Ling, let's go to Yihong Courtyard first, it seems that the rain won't stop for a while, why don't we go into the valley tomorrow." ”
While patting the horse under him, Mu Yunlan wiped his face that had been wet with rain, turned his head and said to Baili Ling.
After hearing Mu Yunlan's words, Baili Ling did not object, and replied directly to Mu Yunlan: "Okay, let's go to Yihong Courtyard first." ”
I don't know when the meeting started, even the name of Qinglou, he could call out it so naturally, if it was before, it would be absolutely impossible. Even if he is very familiar with Yihong Courtyard now, if it weren't for Mu Yunlan, then he might still be the shy and shy Baili Ling.
This heavy rain came quickly, but because I don't know if it didn't rain for more than a month, it rained for a long time.
Mu Yunlan and Baili Ling, who had planned to rest in Yihong Courtyard for a day, stayed here for an extra day, and the road up the mountain had also become muddy because of this heavy rain, so even if they wanted to enter the valley now, they had to wait for the road to walk.
