Chapter 15: Banyan City
This night, Cheng Dongdong slept well and had no dreams all night. When he woke up in the morning, Ning Hu had just gotten up and was freshened up by Guan Qi, who had just entered the house.
The futon that was originally spread on the ground has disappeared, and it is thought that it has been put away by Ning Hu.
When Guanqi saw Cheng Dongdong get up, he ordered someone to bring a basin of hot water. Ning Hu sat in the room and read a book, waiting for Cheng Dongdong to finish dressing up.
After a brief grooming, Cheng Dongdong and Ning Hu went out of the door together, and it just so happened that the opposite door also happened to open at this time, and a man in Xuanyi came out, with a cold face, very familiar.
Cheng Dongdong recognized it at a glance. Can it not be familiar? I just saw it yesterday.
It was the man who went into the water yesterday and saved Ye Lingfeng, Cheng Dongdong guessed that he should be Ning Hu's guard, so he didn't feel much surprised to see him at this time.
After the man saw Ning Hu and Cheng Dongdong, he first turned around and closed the door, and then saluted the two, and then stood outside the door after the salute, the door was like a god, and he didn't know whether he was guarding the door or waiting for Ning Hu and Cheng Dongdong to go first.
Ning Hu glanced at the man, didn't say anything, and was about to go downstairs as if nothing happened. At this time, there was a slightly hurried footsteps on the stairs, and after a few breaths, another man came into Cheng Dongdong's eyes.
The person who came had a handsome face, a royal blue robe, and looked a little weak. This person Cheng Dongdong recognized him, and vaguely remembered that his name was Qingyan, and Ning Hu said that the people who accompanied him this time were all at his disposal.
However, it is a little strange to say, although Ning Hu said that everyone listened to Qingyan's dispatch, but in fact, Cheng Dongdong did not see him arrange anything along the way, but Ning Hu's other cronies in the prince's mansion were in charge.
"Childe, young lady."
Qingyan reacted differently from the man in Xuanyi, and after seeing Ning Hu and Cheng Dongdong, he saluted very respectfully.
Cheng Dongdong didn't pay attention to it before, after all, she and the man had only met twice, but now that comparison, that person seems to be a little special.
Ning Hu didn't know what Cheng Dongdong was thinking, he just nodded at Qingyan, and then continued to walk towards the stairs, Cheng Dongdong followed, but when he went downstairs, he couldn't help but turn around and look curiously.
I saw that Qingyan and the man nodded to each other, as if they had said hello, and then Qingyan pushed open the door and entered the house.
"What are you looking at?"
“…… It's nothing. ”
Before Cheng Dongdong could see what was famous, he heard Ning Hu's voice, so he could only look away, shook his head at Ning Hu, and then quickly followed.
When Cheng Dongdong looked away, Guanqi happened to come out of Cheng Dongdong's house, and saw the man in Xuanyi head-on, and owed him at the moment, which was regarded as a courtesy, and then looked at the closed door, and there was still a bit of tenderness in his searching eyes......
Soon, the door opened again, and Blue-Eyed walked out with a disappointed face.
When the man in Xuanyi saw this, he knew the result: "Although that person may not be very smart, he will not be a fool, or even if he is, then the people around him are also not, how can they let you find out the handle so easily?" You claim to be smart, how can you not even see through such a simple truth? ”
Qingyan sighed: "I know that it is indeed not a wise move to find clues from a dead soldier. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if I really find something, it's also a bargaining chip. ”
The man in the dark robe was unmoved, and asked rhetorically, "What's the use of this bargaining chip?" ”
Qingyan opened his mouth, although he had a thousand words, but he found that it was only a futile explanation, and he couldn't answer this question in the end, and for a while, Qingyan couldn't say anything, and a thousand words could only turn into a long sigh.
"In the past two days, I will let people be more vigilant."
……
Cheng Dongdong went downstairs with Ning Hu to have breakfast, and then Ning Hu proposed to go out for a walk, Cheng Dongdong had no objection to this, she was in a mess recently, thinking about everything, but thinking about it, her worries were all superfluous, for example, she had been thinking about how to get out of the team and go back to the village to have a look.
But Ning Hu suddenly set off ahead of schedule, which caught her a little off guard, but it wasn't that Ning Hu disrupted her plan, in fact, she didn't think about anything, let alone have any plans. I thought that there were two more days left, and I was not in a hurry, but now that it has arrived, Cheng Dongdong still can't think of anything, and she finds that she is not in a hurry.
Cheng Dongdong thought about it, even if he really ran back to the village, what could he do, first of all, he would definitely not be able to show up in front of people, who knows if Fang Xiang sent someone to monitor there; Secondly...... Then there is no second, I am far away, and I have worked hard just to see the village...... Cheng Dongdong didn't realize how obsessed he was with this anyway.
But these are all fancies...... Cheng Dongdong thought about it for a day yesterday, such useless fantasies also ran in her mind for a day, she felt that she should be enough, so she decided to go out for a walk and relax, it was better than her own fantasy there.
The day after tomorrow is Qixi Festival, but looking at the streets where people come and go, the ubiquitous lanterns and decorations, and listening to the hustle and bustle that goes straight to the sky, Cheng Dongdong once thought that today was the Qixi Festival, and she had never seen such a lively scene.
Because there were too many people on the street, and he was tired after walking for a long time, Ning Hu sent someone to order a boat, planning to take a boat to visit the city.
There is a large river that runs through the north and south of Rongcheng, called Jinguan. In good season, boats of all sizes will carry a full boat of lights and crowds, fluttering on the river, complementing the river lanterns that almost fill the river, becoming a major landscape of Banyan City.
It's daytime at this time, and it's not yet time, so naturally there is no such pomp and circumstance. However, there are still many people boating on the river.
Ning Hu only chartered a small boat, and with the ship's father, he could only accommodate three or four people, so Ning Hu dismissed his entourage and only let the man in Xuanyi that Cheng Dongdong had seen follow.
After getting on the boat, Cheng Dongdong sat on the side of the boat, her fingertips paddling across the cool river, the warm sun sprinkled a layer of gold yarn on her, and the noise of the market came to her ears...... Cheng Dongdong only felt that this moment was unprecedentedly beautiful, and all his worries were put aside.
That's nice.
Cheng Dongdong thought so.
Xu is in a good mood to see Cheng Dongdong, Ning Hu has been taking her around all day, and when she has enough of taking a boat, she will go shopping on the street, Cheng Dongdong doesn't buy anything, but when she sees something beautiful and interesting, she goes to take a look, and leaves after reading it.
During this period, Cheng Dongdong also saw Qingyan in a store selling jewelry, he picked a plain white hosta, let the shopkeeper wrap it, and when he went out, he happened to meet Cheng Dongdong's curious gaze, and then he naturally saw Ning Hu.
Qingyan immediately blushed, saluted the two from a distance, and then ran away......
In general, Cheng Dongdong was very happy this day, and played until the evening, although after nightfall, it may be more lively here, but Cheng Dongdong couldn't play, and he forced himself back to the inn, and he didn't have time to find a chess, so he wiped his face twice at will, and fell asleep.
