Chapter 19 Li Zichu's Intention
"Thanks for the reminder!" He Qing'an said with a smile.
The masked man left, and He Qing'an picked up the gold on the table, blew out the candles, and left the hut as well.
It was raining heavily in the city of Dianzhou, and He Qing'an had not yet returned, and Bai Fan was walking back and forth in the corridor, worried.
The door of the inn was pushed open, and the sound made frightened the sleepy man sitting at the table, and the drowsiness vanished.
The guy hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Childe, you can count it back, the young lady upstairs has been waiting for you!" ”
"Miss?"
He Qing'an's expression was full of doubts, and he muttered, "Hasn't she slept so late?" ”
He walked quickly to the third floor and found Bai Fan lying on the window.
"Haven't slept yet?" Li Zichu asked.
He changed his depressed appearance, walked to Bai Fan's side with a smile, and said, "It's windy and rainy outside, what's there to see?" ”
"You're back."
Bai Fan turned to look at He Qing'an, and found that his face was pale and his clothes were soaked.
She couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked worriedly, "Where have you been?" The clothes were soaked, and the face was not very good. ”
"Isn't it uncomfortable?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to touch Li Zichu's forehead.
He Qing'an hurriedly turned his head away, put his right hand into a fist to his mouth, coughed dryly twice, and said with a dry smile: "Maybe it's raining, and I have a cold!" ”
"That, I'll go back to the room first, you rest early, it's cold every day when it rains, don't freeze and catch a cold!"
After that, He Qing'an left without looking back.
Bai Fan let out a light "um", and began to lie down by the window again and began to think about the Mo family.
She asked the shopkeeper, the Mo family is the richest man in Yunnan, the family has a big business, and Mo Xiangyang is kind and benevolent, so it stands to reason that he should not have such a big hatred with others.
Especially after reading the case file, she couldn't figure it out even more.
The case file records that the night before the Mo family was destroyed, Mo Xiangyang went to the yamen to report the case, saying that his youngest daughter Mo Tingyun was missing, and the case was not closed.
But what is strange is that on the death list of the Mo family personnel counted by the Yamen, there is Mo Tingyun's name.
If she was missing, then she shouldn't have been there when the Mo family was wiped out, could it be that she ran back by herself?
Or is that list of the dead fake?
"Oh my God, my head is blowing up!" She hammered her head and complained.
At this moment, she clearly realized that she had no talent for investigating cases.
"What He Qingan said makes sense, it is best to leave the investigation to the government." Bai Fan clapped his hands lightly and said to himself.
At the same time, she also didn't want to deal with Ke Jifan's stinky face anymore.
Therefore, she also decided to give up the Mo family's affairs and return to Liancheng Villa tomorrow.
She stretched, closed the window and prepared to go back to sleep, when she inadvertently heard a cough coming from He Qing'an's room as she left.
Bai Fan stopped and glanced in the direction of He Qing'an's room suspiciously: What is he? Got a cold?
She ran to the kitchen to boil a bowl of ginger soup, but when she came back, she found that the light in He Qing'an's room had been turned off, but in fact, He Qing'an heard her footsteps and blew out the light in a hurry.
I thought to myself: What elixir did she take today? Running around outside so energetically so late in the day?
Bai Fan stood outside the door for a while, wondering whether to knock on the door, but he was afraid that He Qing'an had already fallen asleep, and his own knock would disturb him.
She looked down at the ginger tea in the tray and thought, "Forget it, let's take it back and drink it yourself."
He Qing'an sat on the bed and found that Bai Fan had been standing at the door for a long time and hadn't left, so he got dressed and went to get up and open the door: "You still haven't slept so late?" What do you do standing in my doorway all the time? ”
Bai Fan turned around and smiled and handed the ginger soup to He Qing'an: "I thought you had fallen asleep." ”
He Qing'an looked at the ginger tea in Bai Fan's hand and was a little overwhelmed, and stammered and asked, "You, what are you doing here?" ”
"Oh, I heard your cough just now, and I thought you must have caught a cold in the rain, so I went to boil you a bowl of ginger tea to get rid of the cold." She explained with a smile.
He Qing'an was stunned for a moment, Fang Cai coughed twice when he accidentally pulled the injury when he was undressing, but he didn't expect to be heard by her.
However, seeing the eldest lady boiling ginger tea for herself in person, she was still moved to tears.
"Really? Then you're welcome. ”
He Qing'an took the ginger tea and drank it all.
But his operation can make Bai Fan stunned: I'm dripping mom, isn't this just served, isn't it hot?
He Qingan put the bowl on the tray, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your care, but Miss, it's really not early, I'm going to rest, you should rest early!" ”
With that, he quickly closed the door and kept fanning his mouth with his hand.
Ah, it's so hot, it's hot~
After the door closed, Bai Fan nodded in hindsight and said, "Well, good night!" ”
The next day, the two of them had their own thoughts when they were eating, you secretly glanced at me, and I secretly glanced at you.
"He Qing'an, I have something to say."
"Miss, I have something to say."
Both said at the same time.
Bai Fan bit his chopsticks and said with a smile: "You say it first, you say it first." ”
He Qing'an took a sip of porridge to relieve the embarrassment: "You are the eldest lady, so naturally you will say it first." ”
"Don't be so polite." Bai Fan was embarrassed not to overdo it.
But she immediately turned her head back and said with a playful smile, "That...... Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I want to go back to Liancheng Villa. ”
He Qing'an nodded with a smile and said, "I also have this intention." ”
"That's good, that's good!"
Bai Fan breathed a sigh of relief, she was still afraid that He Qing'an would laugh at her for not having concentration because of the affairs of Mo Xiangyang's family, doing things from beginning to end, and giving up halfway.
"By the way, what are you going to tell me?" Bai Fan asked.
"It's all right!" He Qingan said with a porridge.
"I also want to tell you, Miss, I'm going back to Liancheng Villa, I didn't expect you to have this intention, Miss, we both happen to be on the same road."
Bai Fan smiled and raised his right hand and said, "Give me five!" ”
"Huh?"
He Qing'an looked puzzled, and raised his right hand in her appearance: "What, what?" ”
Bai Fan clapped his hand on his right palm: "High-five!" ”
He Qing'an suddenly realized "oh~".
Just as the two of them were rejoicing, a cold voice came: "The eldest lady can't go back with you!" ”
He Qing'an's expression instantly turned cold when he saw that person, and Bai Fan glanced back, also with a look of surprise: "Li Zichu, why are you here?" ”
Li Zichu consciously sat between Bai Fan and He Qing'an, and said in a flat tone: "The owner of the village asked me to come!" ”
He Qing'an coughed dryly twice, leaned into Li Zichu's ear, lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't you say that you were secretly protecting?" ”
Li Zichu did not shy away from it at all, and replied directly to He Qing'an: "Dian Zhou is indeed secretly protecting, but now that you have decided to leave Dian Zhou, I have to show up." ”
"And..."
Li Zichu looked at He Qing'an and said solemnly: "Zhuang wants you to rush back to Liancheng Villa within two days, and after a while, you will have to deal with it according to the rules of the village, and reward thirty boards first." ”
He Qing'an almost squirted out the porridge in his mouth, Bai Fan bit his chopsticks and said, "Thirty plates, this is also a little ruthless!" ”
"I'll just say that you Liancheng Villa has a lot of rules!" He Qing'an looked like he had nothing to love.
"But He Qing'an is not from Liancheng Villa, do the rules of Zhuang work for him?" Bai Fan asked Li Zichu curiously.
"I'm only responsible for passing the word, and the rest, I don't know!" Li Zichu said lightly.
He Qing'an sighed and said with a smile: "Alas, it may be because I am so handsome, and the owner of Liancheng Village is jealous of my beauty. ”
"Huh!"
Bai Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, arrogant!
After a pause, she kindly reminded: "You won't be able to go back in two days, and you will be punished if you go late, so it's better for you not to go at all." ”
He Qing'an drank the porridge and frowned: If I don't go to Liancheng Villa to find Jin Danyu, I don't know who else can save my life.
"It's okay, isn't it just thirty boards, little meaning!" He looked sad and pretended to be relaxed.
"Time is urgent, you can leave after eating, the horse is ready for you!" Li Zichu said calmly.
Bai Fan was stunned for a moment, how could she have the illusion that Li Zichu was driving people away?
"Good brother!"
He Qing'an patted Li Zichu's shoulder, with a bitter face, his expression seemed to be smiling, which was very intriguing.
Li Zichu glanced at He Qing'an's hand, a little displeased, and shook it away with internal force.
He Qing'an shook his numb hand, snorted coldly, shook his head and left.
"He Qing'an, remember to come and play with me again when you have time!" Bai Fan shouted at He Qing'an's back.
He Qing'an made an OK gesture and rode the fast horse at the gate to the outside of Dian Zhou City.
Bai Fan turned his head and bit his chopsticks to carefully look at Li Zichu, who was sitting at the table without smiling.
She remembered that every time she saw Li Zichu, he was cold and unapproachable, and it was inevitable that people would be afraid to look at him.
"He rode the wrong one!" Li Zichu said lightly.
"Huh?"
Bai Fan was very puzzled.
"He's riding the wrong horse!"
As soon as Li Zichu's words fell, Bai Fan heard someone outside the inn shouting: "Eh, who is that person, why did you ride my horse without saying hello?" ”
"How dare you be so bold in broad daylight and defy the king's law!"
The man watched He Qing'an's figure gradually shrink, so he could only walk into the inn helplessly, patted his thigh and said angrily: "What the hell, there are really everyone in this world!" ”
Bai Fan laughed twice, and then she gave the man the Maxima that Li Zichu had prepared for He Qing'an as compensation.
After the meal, Li Zichu explained to her the purpose of Gu Liancheng sending him.
The reason is that Lu Qingping, the leader of the martial arts alliance, disappeared for no reason two years ago, his life and death are unknown, and the martial arts dragons have no leader, so they decided to hold a martial arts conference to elect the new leader of the alliance.
And Li Zichu came this time to take her to Luoyang to participate in the martial arts conference.
"Martial Arts Conference?"
Bai Fan choked on his own saliva, and it took a long time to recover.
questioned: "Was Gu Liancheng's head caught by the door, or was he kicked by a donkey?" Actually asked me to go to the martial arts conference? ”
"Miss Ben doesn't practice martial arts, there is still a glimmer of hope for winning the 'dance' Lin League Master, the martial arts League leader?"
"Huh?"
She sneered and said, "You rush back to Liancheng Villa right now, and ask Jin Danyu to prescribe Gu Liancheng a few more pairs of medicine for his head, the kind with double the dose...... Let him be sober and sober, and not daydream! ”
