Chapter 142: Eavesdropping
Opposite the teahouse, Xu Yin sat on a tree, staring at the door, nibbling on osmanthus cake.
"Tastes good, right? The master of the post house did it himself, and I specially asked him to add an extra spoonful of honey! Yan Ling's triumphant voice came from his ears, and he got up early in the morning to toss the osmanthus tree, which came in handy.
Xu Yin swallowed the pastry in his mouth and said, "Hmm." β
The osmanthus cake with extra honey is a little greasy, but this is the boy's heart.
After eating the pastries, there was movement in the teahouse.
The first to come out was a small guy, he was holding a tea bag in his hand, his head was lowered, he couldn't see clearly, and when he left the teahouse, he turned into the alley, and soon disappeared.
After a long time, several waves of guests came in and out of the teahouse, and Miss Wei Si, who was wearing a power fence, finally came out and left quietly in the car.
"How did you know they met here?" Xu Yin asked.
Yan Ling was a little proud: "It's also a coincidence, I went to explore the way around the palace, and I happened to see a little guy sneaking out, so I followed him all the way and saw him hand a note into the Wei Mansion." β
"Oh."
Yan Ling wondered: "Why aren't you surprised at all?" Li Ergongzi and Miss Wei Si, this combination is very interesting! β
Xu Yinxin said, what she already knew, what was there to be surprised about? The key is what Li Da said to Miss Wei Si, but they can't go into the teahouse to listen, so it will startle the snake.
Yan Ling continued: "You said this, what would happen if Li Shizi knew about it? Before your sister came, Miss Wei Si was the number one candidate for his fiancΓ©e. β
Thinking about it this way, Li Shizi's head is really green!
Both of them couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xu Yin sighed: "It's really strange that Li Shizi is better than Li Ergongzi, this Wei Si actually abandoned Li Shizi and chose Li Ergongzi." β
Yan Ling said: "That's because there is no hope!" Your sister is here, and it is clear that Li Shizi will not want her, so it's okay if there are no fish and shrimp! β
Xu Yin didn't answer. What she said was in her previous life, her sister didn't come to Jiangdu, and Wei Si was still embarrassed with Li Da. Perhaps, Li Wen didn't choose her in his previous life?
It's not impossible, Li Wen is a normal person, maybe he saw the clue and chose another young lady, so Wei Si has no choice, if he can't become a princess, then it's better to change the world.
In short, things have come to this point, the situation in Dongjiang has gradually gone to the trajectory of the previous life, as long as the conspiracy of Li Da and Wei Si is stopped in time and Li Wen is spared, these two thieves can be rewarded in the present life, and they don't want to have the scenery of the previous life!
The targets of the stalking are gone, and Xu Yin wants to go back. was just about to slide down the tree, but was suddenly pulled by Yan Ling and pulled back.
He lowered his voice, booed, and motioned for her to look out, "Look over there." β
The teahouse is remote, there were not many customers, and now it is getting late, and there is no one in the lobby. The shopkeeper ordered someone to clean up the shop, but he changed into inconspicuous clothes, came out to look left and right, and went to another alley.
Yan Ling and Xu Yin glanced at each other, jumped down from the tree first, pulled her down, and quietly followed.
The shopkeeper was quite vigilant and stopped from time to time to check on the situation. Fortunately, both of them are good at tracking, so he didn't find out.
After a while, the shopkeeper turned into an alley, and a pungent smell rushed over.
Xu Yin's spirit was in high spirits.
Fishy smell, this is a fish market!
What is he doing at the fish market, he won't come to buy fish at such a late hour, right?
The shopkeeper got into a fish shop, Xu Yin was hesitating, Yan Ling pulled her, climbed up to the roof from the yard next door, and carefully touched the top of the shop.
Yan Ling stretched out his hand and touched the roof, and with some skill, he loosened one of the tiles, and the voice in the house came out low.
ββ¦β¦ Fish hooked? β
"Yes. This little fish has a bigger appetite than we imagined, and not only wants to swallow the big fish, but also wants to swallow the old turtle as well. β
"Hehehehe," a few chuckles came from inside the room, "it's called Tiansuke." If it weren't for this little fish, we wouldn't know where to open. β
"Yes! I have been here for several years, but I only got some painless news, and I didn't have the face to go back to see my master. β
"Now it's okay, if it happens, we can go back in style."
The voice in the room was lowered, as if something was being planned.
Xu Yin tried hard to listen, but only heard fragmentary sounds.
ββ¦β¦ Wangjiang Tower......"
ββ¦β¦ Autumn Banquet ......"
The cold wind blew through, and her heart was also cold.
After a long time, the conspiracy in the house finally stopped, and the voice was slightly released.
"That old turtle is lucky, his son is good, although there is only one, he is worthy of the children and grandchildren of other families."
"The most difficult thing is the king crab, he can't cross the river with him."
"Fortunately, God sent such an opportunity. That kid has no one under his hands, so he found us and has been operating in vain for a few years. β
"Do a good job, after doing this ticket, you can go back."
There was a toast in the room, followed by the sound of walking.
Xu Yin hesitated for a moment, then was pulled by Yan Ling and went down from the next door lightly.
After a short time, the shopkeeper came out of the house, looked vigilantly left and right, and made sure that there was no one, and then strode back.
Everything was calm, and the two slowly walked out of the fish market and returned to the street.
Walking silently all the way, Yan Ling kept turning her head to look at her, wanting to speak and stopping.
Xu Yin couldn't hold back, turned his head and asked, "What are you doing?" If you have something to say, just say it! β
Yan Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "Things are more complicated than I imagined, I haven't thought about it yet." β
Xu Yin smiled and glanced over: "You confess." β
She could hear that the two people in the house were Jiangbei's fine works. The old turtle is the king of the Dongjiang River, the big fish is Li Wen, the small fish is Li Da, and the king crab is naturally Yang Gu.
Jiang Yi is eyeing the Dongjiang River, and he sent a few years ago. This time, of course, it is Li Da's wolf ambition, but there is also Jiang Yi's handiwork.
The Dongjiang River has always been a rich land, and the Li family has been operating for a hundred years, and is one of the largest forces in the world.
Although the Yan clan is strong and strong, Guanzhong is not as prosperous as the Dongjiang River.
If Dongjiang and Jiang Yi pinch each other and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, they may not be able to profit.
Yan Ling stood in the position of the family, naturally a little hesitant, and it seemed that it was better not to help Li Wen.
"Then you want to help Jiangbei?" Xu Yin looked at him with a smile.
Yan Ling didn't think about it, and shook his head directly: "What are you doing for Jiang Yi?" He is much more difficult than Dongjiang. β
Jiang Yi is also a more literate Wu Zijing, and Jiangbei is only close to Guanzhong.
"Since you don't help Jiangbei, what else is there to hesitate about? No matter how the Dongjiang River is, it is limited by the terrain and cannot cross the river. Jiangbei is the great enemy of your Yan clan. β
Yan Ling glanced at her and said, "You really think so?" Not for your sister's sake? β
Xu Yin was confident: "Of course it's for my sister." β
