Winter in the south is not like the heavy snow in the north, which is frozen for thousands of miles.

A winter rain fell for five or six days one after another, mixed with the howling north wind, the loquat leaves smashed by large water droplets, and occasionally a drop hit the hand, and the face and forehead were all cool to the bone.

Located in Jingnan, Lanxian is a multi-ethnic place, which makes it different from other places. People often see people wearing different types of clothing appearing on the streets together, and the colorful colors are one of the characteristics of Blue County.

Lanxian also has the most prosperous trading market in the southeast, because they are rich in various resources, such as the rare furs of wild beasts in the deep mountains, such as rare medicinal materials, as well as ethnic crafts and some handicrafts that cannot be found elsewhere.

Naturally, there are also many inns and taverns in Lanxian County, which provide people who welcome visitors to live or play sharp. Among the many inns and restaurants, the most famous is the 'Proud Building'.

Proud building is just like its name, complacently occupies the best position in Lanxian County, with the posture of looking down on all beings, high above, and the decoration is also extremely gorgeous, from the inside to the outside are exuding a smell of money, but because it is so frank and simple, it does not make so copper smell.

However, no matter how good the business is, it can't stand the bad weather.

This continuous winter rain made the people doing business outside stop their pace, and even the whole street was much empty, so they had to stand alone to count the fallen leaves in the middle of the road.

The shopkeeper also lost his passion for shouting, and squatted next to the door pier and dozed off. But he didn't want to make a horse bark, and he almost jumped up. When he rubbed his eyes, he saw a small but delicate carriage slowly stopped in front of him, and a cute little girl's face poked out of it. ”

Whoever sees a good-looking girl and smiles at you, you will be in a good mood, so the shopkeeper responded happily: "Okay, how many guest officers are there, do you want to stay in the hotel or eat?" ”

The little girl's flexible eyes rolled, and she still smiled and said, "I also live in the hotel and eat." ”

The shopkeeper's mouth opened even more, and he shouted inside: "The guests are here, come, please come inside, stay in the hotel and eat......"

The little girl did not get out of the carriage immediately, but returned to the carriage and listened to her crisp words: "Master, madam, we have arrived, madam, be careful, I will help you down." ”

The shopkeeper turned his mind, such a good-looking girl, dressed exquisitely, actually a maid, it seems that the family is either rich or expensive, in this way, the smile on his face is more attentive, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, only vaguely saw someone leaning out, nodded and said: "Slide carefully, come slowly, I'll help you hold the ......"

"No, you don't." The cool and cool voice was colder than the winter rain, and the head of the shop was stunned, he raised his eyes, it didn't matter if he looked at it, he didn't get his eyes back for a long time, until there was a sound of laughter from behind, "Madam, look, someone is looking at the master in a daze, this is the first few today?" ”

The shopkeeper only realized that he was out of shape, but the son just now was really ...... It's so good-looking, he's been in a restaurant for many years, and it's the first time I've seen such a good-looking son, it's like ...... It seems like...... The shopkeeper knocked on his head, and it took him a long time to figure out a word - the immortal who came out of the painting.

Behind him, the little maid helped the lady in her mouth to finally get out of the carriage, the shopkeeper was more curious, the old man was so good-looking, and the lady must be even more shocked, but when he turned his head to look, he was a little disappointed, not that the lady's appearance was not as good as he wanted, but that the whole face was covered by a thick scarf, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Madam, when you go out in the future, you have to put a mask on the master." The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, looking very lively, and kept talking.

"Poor mouth." said that it was a reprimand, more like a joke between intimate friends, but the voice really sounded pleasant, presumably like a person, no worse than the old man.

But to the surprise of the shopkeeper, this maid spoke so imperceptibly, why didn't she see her lord and lady to blame, he led the three of them inside, and shook his head, strange, really strange.

The lobby was very empty, only a table by the window, and a middle-aged man was pouring himself a drink, and he didn't even look up when people came in.

"Are the three of you eating in the hall, or are you ......," the shopkeeper asked politely with a smile.

The little girl took out a silver ingot from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, our old lady has rushed all the way, and I'm a little tired, you can prepare a few seasonal side dishes and send them to the guest room." ”

The shopkeeper held the silver ingot, and was even more sure that this family was not an ordinary rich man, so he didn't dare to slack off and said: "Okay, okay, three of you come with me." ”

The guest rooms in the proud building are naturally good, and the wardrobes, ornaments, and all kinds of carefully placed ones, as well as the antique vases on the Duobao grid, and other accessories, none of them are fakes.

The three of them asked for two rooms, and the shopkeeper was surprised again, even the maid can live alone above the room, what kind of arrogance does this family have to become? !

When the shopkeeper left, the door closed, the little girl made two cups of hot tea, her beautiful eyes moved, she was not pure and innocent at all, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows brought out a flavor, and said with a smile: "The slave family will still get a scarred face for the prince tomorrow, so that people will be fascinated again, this way, up to eighty, down to eight years old, and no one has been spared." ”

But it turned out that the three people in this group were Caidie and Rong Ruo and Mu Beichen, after they came out of the cliff under the capital, they walked directly to the south, and after half a month, they finally arrived in Lan County in Jingnan.

Because Mu Beichen's appearance is too great, and she is afraid of being recognized, Caidie's disguise technique is played, but as the saying goes, beauty is in the bones and not in the skin, so no matter how low-key she comes, she still can't completely remove Mu Beichen's natural handsomeness.

Rong Ruo didn't drink tea, but just held hot tea to keep warm, and said with a little urgency in his eyes: "Not only the scar, but also the beard." ”

Cai Diele gave a high-five: "That's a good idea." ”

Mu Beichen glanced at the two of them with cold eyes, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "It's not that they haven't let go of any of them." ”

"You see, he's not satisfied." Rong Ruo hooked her lips and teased with a smile.

Caidie stood next to the table, clasped her hands on her chest and thought, "The prince said...... The guy downstairs? ”

Not to mention whether Mu Beichen is peerless, there is no guest in the proud building today except for that person, but whenever there is a little movement outside, everyone will be curious to look up, that person is calm, only caring about his wine glass, but he has not raised a glance.

Rong Ruo tilted his head and pondered: "Perhaps, is he a drunkard?" ”

Caidie smiled, walked to the window and said, "Will you find out soon?" As he spoke, the window opened, and a black figure leaped forward.

After the person entered the room, he immediately shook off the rain on his body, brushed the rain on his head and said: "What the hell is this place, the rain is still falling." ”

Caidie leaned back against the windowsill and said amusedly: "Xiao Fengfeng, are you still not happy to bathe you?" Since she heard Rong Ruo shouting Fengwu Xiao Fengfeng on the road, Caidie felt that this title was very much in line with her, so she shouted it, which made Fengwu more depressed.

"So let's change the two?" Feng Wu pouted, he is a phoenix, not a grass chicken, so he doesn't like to call the rain a soup chicken!

Caidie's eyebrows and eyes were hooked, and there was a natural charm in her bones, "You are a maid?" ”

Feng Wu thought about that scene, trembled, lowered his head and raised his hand: "I give up." ”

The two laughed for a while, and Feng Wu reported to Mu Beichen: "Lord Wang, I have checked, that person seems to come to Deyi Lou to drink a pot of wine at a fixed time every day, and leave after drinking, and come back at the same time the next day, which is very mysterious." ”

"The situation in Lan County is complicated, you all need to be careful." Mu Beichen supported the table with his elbows, hot tea in his palms, his black eyes were as deep as a secluded pool, and he didn't know what he was thinking, "How far is this from Wufo Mountain?" ”

Wufoshan, because of the complex terrain, difficult mountain roads, and has a natural defensive advantage, since ancient times it is the first choice for mountain bandits to occupy the mountain as the king, and now the 33 villages are in Wufoshan.

Feng Wu didn't have to think about it, and quickly replied: "If you ride a horse, it will take an hour." ”

"Shall we go tomorrow?" Rong Ruo followed to Jingnan, the first thing was to detoxify Yan Hui, and it has been more than ten days since the secret guard sent back the message, and everyone doesn't know what Yan Hui's situation is.

Mu Beichen lowered his eyelids, put his slender fingers on the rim of the cup, and said in a light tone: "Wait for a day, I always feel that this Lan County is a little weird." ”

Rong Ruo tilted his head, frowned, and said, "What?" ”

"There are too few people." Caidie rolled a strand of long hair on her shoulders, and under her lazy appearance, her eyes were sharp and sharp, "It's completely different from the usual street market." ”

"Isn't it because it's raining?" On the way here, I heard many people complain that the rain in the south came early and rapid this year, and I was afraid that it would go down like this, and after the beginning of spring, I was afraid that there would be another flood.

Caidie hooked the corners of her mouth, and said without a smile in her eyes: "Girl, think about it, don't you have to live on a rainy day?" ”

Rong Ruo was stunned, it seems to be the case, although it is troublesome to travel in the rain, it is impossible not to go out, such as doing business, building a shed or something can also be solved.

"Who is the magistrate of Lan County?" Mu Beichen flicked his fingers on the body of the cup, his eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at Feng Wu.

Fortunately, Feng Wu's preparations along the way were detailed, and he didn't have to hesitate at the moment, and blurted out: "Chen Zeling, but he said that he was seriously ill half a year ago, and he has been lingering on the sickbed, and seeing that he is dying, the emperor has sent a new magistrate over." "In this way, Lan County has no one in charge at all.

Mu Beichen nodded, and was just about to speak, when a black shadow jumped out of the window out of the corner of his eye, his wrist moved, and a cup of tea in his hand flew out like an arrow from the string.

Caidie also moved quickly, jumped out of the windowsill, and chased the black shadow.
