Ye Linglan looked at the man, twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in a white robe, handsome and elegant, with a shrewd glint in his eyes.

"Shadow, long time no see." Xuanzheng hugged his fist at Wen Xingying.

Wen Xingying introduced Ye Linglan to him, and then the three of them sat down around the table in the middle of the room, and Xuan Zheng poured tea for the two of them and himself.

"Xiao Zheng," Wen Xingying put down the teacup, "Did Feng send me any tasks?" ”

"Yes." Xuan Zheng took out an unopened bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Wen Xingying.

After Wen Xingying opened the bamboo tube and took out the letter and read it carefully, he handed the letter to Xuan Zheng with a smile, "He, let me go back to my old job again." ”

Xuanzheng finished reading the letter and returned it to Wen Xingying, "Hey, do you prefer to do your own job or someone else's work?" ”

"It's better if I don't have to do my own job." Wen Xingying didn't think about it, and said.

"Then you are still going to hand over the work to someone else this time? That place," Xuan Zheng pointed to the scroll of paper in Wen Xingying's hand, "Dali, it's Huang Jing's territory, he's just a little ghost who doesn't grow up......"

Wen Xingying smiled, "Yes, okay, let's see the situation there, maybe I'll be in a good mood and do it myself." ”

Dali has been a very distinctive city since ancient times, with unique scenery. The center of Dali city is a huge lake, four streams extend out on all sides, divide the whole city into four pieces, each piece is adjacent to the bridge in the middle, the city takes the lake as the center, spreads out to the surroundings, each street is arc-shaped, it is generally circular to this city, the periphery of the city is shady, full of exotic flowers and plants, among which there are also herbs in the majority.

After Ye Linglan arrived in Dali, she felt that the layout and customs here were very different from other cities.

"Lan'er, guess what's Jing'er's profession?" The two of them were wandering down the street with their horses, and Wen Xingying asked with interest.

Ye Linglan knew that although there were many industries in Chiyan Villa, most of the industries were in charge of Xue Yaochen, and they belonged to the area of inquiring about news, only the five major industries of Qinglou, theater, gambling house, inn, and restaurant, thinking about it, Huang Jing's profession must be among these five, so which one will it be? Most likely, there are restaurants and inns, because they are the most convenient and do not have to show up; Gambling houses and theaters, you may still need some skills, as for the Qinglou......

"It's a green building." Ye Linglan said.

"......" Wen Xingying looked back in disbelief, "Why?" ”

Ye Linglan smiled and said: "You must think, I will think, according to your evaluation of Huang Jing, he should be the kind of very childish character, in a place like Qinglou, I am afraid that I will be teased by guests, and I will be teased by my peers, right?" ”

Wen Xingying nodded repeatedly.

"However, this is just a conjecture based on common sense, as the leader of the local organization of the Red Flame Villa, he must not be an ordinary person, I think, maybe that Huang Jing will do the opposite."

"How can it be the other way around?" Wen Xingying looked at him with interest.

"That's it, whoever dares to tease him, he will tease him back, and he must make that person regret teasing him......" Ye Linglan covered her lips and smiled.

"It's amazing." That Wen Xingying praised sincerely: "Lan'er, now I can't underestimate you more and more." That's right, Jing'er is the largest green building in Hangzhou, the old bustard of Yishui Building, he," that Wen Xingying couldn't cry or laugh when he talked about this mischievous spirit Huang Jing, "He still stands at the door of the building every day, trying to help the girls and boys in the building to pick up guests, but many guests actually said that they wanted him, and as a result, he grabbed people and said, 'Okay, then I want to be on it when I go to bed, and said that seeing how beautiful you look, my brother will definitely love you well.'" Scared people, wanted to run away and couldn't break away from him, had to be grabbed by him and kneeled to beg for mercy, back and forth, those people in Hangzhou who often go to the Qinglou, no one dared to provoke him again, and when they saw him, they all cautiously greeted him a few words. ”

"It's so cute......"

"It's still early, let's go to my other courtyard here first, and then we'll look for Jing'er in the evening." That Wen Xingying said.

"Okay."

That night, after Wen Xingying rested at home for a day, he took Ye Linglan around the Qinglou in good spirits, and there were many people who wanted to beckon them in every time the two walked over, but Wen Xingying smiled and ignored it, but came to the one at the end of this direction, and it was also the largest Qinglou, Yishui Building.

Outside the door of the building, Wen Xingying did not rush forward, but just stood at a distance from the gate.

"Look." That Wen Xingying pointed out to Ye Linglan the child who was standing outside the building, dressed in a yellow shirt, smiling quite naughty, cute and treacherous, fourteen or fifteen years old, with a delicate face like a finely carved jade doll, a playful expression, and a seductive and loving face.

Ye Linglan saw the pleasing child, and when the people who came to Yishui Lou saw him, they would say hello to Boss Huang, and no one stepped forward to "love" him.

"Let's go." Wen Xingying said and took Ye Linglan over.

Wen Xingying walked up to the girl and waved his hand to attract his attention, and when the girl saw the smile on his face turn into surprise, she smiled slightly, "Jing'er, long time no see." ”

"Shadow!" The girl threw herself into Wen Xingying's arms, he was originally standing on the steps, higher than Wen Xingying, and this time he pounced quickly, and the latter was thrown directly to the ground by him without reacting.

"I miss you so much...... the girl hugged him and rubbed around his neck socket, ignoring the current posture of the two, the Wen Xingying lying on the ground looked at the stars in the sky speechlessly, and still held the girl on his body with one hand. Ye Linglan looked at the indecent appearance of the two of them, raised their foreheads and sighed, the girls who were soliciting customers outside with Huang Jing were so shocked that they covered their lips with their hands, and the other guests talked about the posture of the two of them, and laughed non-stop.

In the end, the girl finally got up when she had enough hugging, and thoughtfully pulled Wen Xingying up. The girl was about to leave with Wen Xingying, but then she hurriedly stopped him with me, called Ye Linglan over, introduced him to Huang Jing, and the two greeted each other.

The three of them entered the Yishui Building together.

Yishui Lou can be described as a guest, Huang Jing took the two of them to the table at the front of the hall and sat down, and someone next to them immediately came over to bring tea and pour it for the three of them. Ye Linglan noticed that there was a girl playing the piano right in front of their table, and this seat was the best place to listen to the piano, so no one was sitting?

"This seat is mine, and I sit here almost every night to listen to the piano, and no one will compete with me for a seat, let alone bother me." Huang Jing took a sip of tea and smiled proudly.

His invincible appearance was exchanged for a doting smile from Wen Xingying, and then he said to Ye Linglan: "Lan'er, do you know the girl who plays the piano?" ”

Ye Linglan looked at the girl, and saw that she was dressed in red, with a black green silk pulled into a high cloud temple, fixed with a phoenix hairpin, her makeup was meticulous and free, and the woman's hands were like green onions, and her shape was extremely beautiful; Look at the face again: the eyebrows are picturesque, the clouds are beautiful, the red lips are like fire, the snow skin is like porcelain, what a beautiful woman in the city.

"I don't know." Ye Linglan shook her head.

"She is the deputy commander in my Dali, a well-known pianist in the rivers and lakes, Liu Yinglan, do you know where her piano technician is?" When Wen Xingying asked this, there was obviously a kind of mystery and pride in his tone.

"You?" Ye Linglan asked tentatively.

"......" Huang Jing laughed very shamelessly.

"Ahem." Wen Xingying touched her cheeks awkwardly, this Lan'er, how can you talk like this, where do you have this ability. "No, it's Haruka."

"Xue Yaochen?" Ye Linglan felt that this name was very familiar, "Is it the master of the divine doctor Xiao Lin?" He's a healer, and he can play the piano, right? ”

"Yaochen will not stop there," Wen Xingying mentioned Xue Yaochen, his adoring eyes and affectionate voice really seemed to mention his lover, "He should be the most talented person I have ever met, with outstanding medical skills, poison skills, light skills, disguise skills, piano skills, dance skills, and cooking skills." ”

"It's amazing...... Ye Linglan was a little stunned, feeling that such a person was really amazing, and then thought of a little question, "But why, I think he is the best in the world, so, how to say, so ...... What about indecency? ”

"......" Hearing Ye Linglan's adjective, Huang Jing burst out laughing again, he was really glad that he hadn't drunk water, how could this kid be so good at using words......

"How?" That Wen Xingying also looked at Ye Linglan with a smile on his face.

"Say, why isn't he the best at martial arts? Isn't the literary talent the best? Isn't the strategy the best? Isn't the rule of the world the most outstanding? Why is his hobby so sideways, even if he becomes the first, it is useless? ”

"......" Wen Xingying was speechless.

"In other words, the reason why others can't become the first in these fields is not because they don't have the ability, but because they don't have the need, and he abandons those useful ones and learns these useless ones to win the reputation of being the first in the world?"

"Ahem, Lan'er, listen to me." That Wen Xingying helplessly stopped his "criticism" of Xue Yaochen, how could this kid be so simple and cute? ...... "If you think about Yaochen like this, then it's very wrong, of course, the first half of your words are right, even I think that in addition to medical skills, the other skills are mediocre, but those are Yaochen's hobbies, so he will study these until the highest level in the world, and in other aspects, I can tell you that Wencai can compare to him, there is only Feng in the villa, and martial arts, there is only Ming Luochen, my little junior brother, as for the latter two, because he has no hobbies in that area, In the future, I don't plan to enter the court or go to the battlefield to lead troops, so I haven't dabbled too much," Speaking of this, Wen Xingying smiled, "About Yaochen, what I said is far from comprehensive, I think, when you see him in person and get familiar with him, you will slowly understand, he is a genius and a legend." ”

The three of them sat for a while, and by this time it was already past three o'clock, and many of the guests in the hall had already gone upstairs "with their companions", and the three of them also stood up.

"Ei, stay here with me tonight." Huang Jingdao.

That Wen Xingying glanced at Ye Linglan with some hesitation, and saw that he had no expression, so he said, "Okay, that Lan'er, I'll find someone to send you back." ”

"No need," Ye Linglan raised her eyes and looked at him, "I can go back myself." ”

"Let's let someone send you, otherwise I won't worry." As Wen Xingying spoke, he asked Huang Jing to send three people to send Ye Linglan away, and he personally sent them to the door, and he didn't come back until the shadows of the four people were out of sight.

"Shadow cares about him?" Huang Jing looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

Wen Xingying smiled slightly, "He was abducted by me, of course he is responsible, if he loses it, there is more than a group of people who want to settle accounts with me." ”

In fact, I don't need others, I'm afraid that I will blame myself and die.

"Then, Shadow, let's go up too." Huang Jing said, holding Wen Xingying's hand and leading him upstairs.

"Jing'er, I should be the only one who goes upstairs with you." Wen Xingying smiled as she walked.

"Hmm." Huang Jing responded and held his hand harder.

When he arrived at Huang Jing's room in the deepest part of the corridor on the second floor, Wen Xingying looked around and smiled at Huang Jing: "Come to me, I haven't been here for a long time." ”

Huang Jing smiled, took his hand and sat down on the edge of the bed, gently helped him take off his coat and put it on the screen, and fed him a glass of water.

After returning the cup, Huang Jing sat down at the table.

"Shadow," Huang Jingzheng said, "I have something to tell you about your mission this time. ”

Wen Xingying nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Do you still remember that when you were in Luoyang, the eldest prince asked you to find out the letters between the owner of the village and the lord of the court, and you didn't complete that task, right?"

"Hmm."

"Actually, the eldest prince asked Ying to complete it later, because that important information is now in the hands of the eldest prince, but the eldest prince did not inform you of that information, do you know the reason?"

"Because Lan'er?"

"That's right, whether it is the correspondence between the owner of Xiaoyao Mountain Villa and the central government, or your mission this time, investigating the secret letters between the city lord of Dali and the envoy who secretly came to our country, these two things have a lot to do with that little prince, and his origin is actually quite not simple."

"No matter how simple it is, you still can't tell me, can you?"

Huang Jing smiled, "Don't worry, the eldest prince is here not to worry you, and there is no danger yet, I think, when you should know, he will tell you." ”

"I'm very unbalanced, strictly speaking, you and Ying'er are my subordinates, why do you know more than me?"

Huang Jing's smile deepened.

"We are the direct person in charge of the news, over the years we have been in charge of the area, from the court officials, down to the traders and pawns, including the large and small gangs in the martial arts, we have to collect their intelligence every day, the purpose is to grasp their detailed information, for other departments or assassination, or rescue, or befriending to provide a basis, although you are our general leader, but we have to directly hand over this information to the eldest prince."

"That's right, I, the titular head in charge, is gathering the deeper information he needs on the basis of your intelligence, right? Cut, I think, just cancel me as the chief leader, and let you go directly under his banner. ”

"But don't forget, you all grew up under your care, and the intelligence network in each region was also established by you in the first place, and we can have today's strength thanks to you......"

"You say that, I'm a little bit more balanced."

Huang Jing came to Wen Xingying's side and sat down again

"Shadow, Lang is our friendly country, in the confrontation between Lan and Cang for several years, Lang has always supported our country, they also have a lot of spies in our country, responsible for our border generals and important ministers in the DPRK to get some contact, over the years their contact is very usual, but recently, there seem to be some problems in Langguo, the first to discover this problem is Luoyang, their spies in Xiaoyao Villa found that the owner of Xiaoyao Villa and the envoy of Lang secretly talked, Immediately, the owner of the village and the spies of the country of the country all passed on the news, and after this information was informed to the eldest prince, he wanted you to investigate the reason for the initial establishment of the Xiaoyao Villa, because the Xiaoyao Villa is not simple, they seem to be the leaders of the spies of the country. Speaking of which, Ying, in fact, the eldest prince is really protective of you, the field of inquiring about news is complicated, and what he asked you to investigate is just the tip of the iceberg, during this time, in addition to the country, there are many other things, and the eldest prince will not let you interfere......"

That Wen Xingying sighed, "Okay, you can tell me a little more about the country." ”

"Hmm. Our spies in various places have found out the original reason for the establishment of Xiaoyao Villa, and found out the information they exchanged with the spies of the country in various places, and of course, the position of your little boy in this matter, speaking of which, although the little boy is related to the country, he is also deeply protected and lives carefree like you, maybe he is not clear about the problem of the country. ”

"What is the problem in the country?"

"I can't say, the eldest prince won't tell you if he confesses, the reason why he wants you to come to Dali is because the letters exchanged between the city lord of Dali and the envoys of the state of Yang, the content of which should be the last piece of information about this issue, as for what kind of information it is......" Huang Jingshen took a deep breath, "I still can't say." ”

"I can't say anything!" Wen Xingying stood up in anger, feeling that Zuo Tingfeng's "protection" really made him a little unbearable, "Is he protecting me or not believing me at all?" ”

"Shadow!" Huang Jing pulled him back to sit back, "This matter is very dangerous, if you insist on interfering, you will die, you know?" ”

Seeing that Wen Xingying still had a cold face, Huang Jing sighed and said, "The cause and effect of this matter, maybe you will know later." ”

I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be many difficult choices waiting for you, and there will even be troubles that you don't expect, you, take advantage of this leisurely time, take it easy......
