In the early morning, just after dawn, four men dressed in cotton clothes crossed the street and turned into a blue brick path, with a thin layer of ice condensed on the bricks and stones in the corners.

The man in the lead looked around, most of them were still asleep, and when he was sure that no one was following, the man knocked on the door of a house, and a woman's impatient voice came from inside, "Who!?" Early in the morning! ”

"Wu Sanniang, it's me, Da Lang, I just paid the deposit yesterday, do you remember?"

"You wait." There was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and the door opened, revealing a short, bloated, ordinary-looking woman, and she smiled: "Da Lang, why did you come so early?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it, the owner of the house knew that we were going to move out, and even the stove was removed, and the life of the night woke us up, so he just packed up his things and came over. Sanniang, I didn't disturb your rest. ”

"How can it bother." Sanniang glanced at him with disgust, "Let's go, I'll take you to your house." ”

Wu Sanniang closed the door, carried a bunch of keys, and walked to the depths of the alley with a few people, "Your house owner is really not authentic, you people have not left yet, you are a man in the prime of life, it is good to say, your sister and father are weak at first glance, if something really happens, what can I do." ”

"Not really." Da Lang shook his head and sighed.

Wu Sanniang glanced back at the three people behind her, the young man looked mediocre, and his demeanor didn't look like a person who could endure hardships, the little girl seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, she was extremely weak, and the old man stumbled when he walked, it seems that the burden of this family is all tied to the eldest son, which is also strange and pitiful.

"Da Lang, do you have any work now?"

"Nope."

"That's it, I don't have a coolie to move things here, if you want, you can try it."

Da Lang smiled slightly, "I understand Sanniang's kindness, but you have also seen our situation, my sister's father is not in good health, I have to keep an eye on it all the time." Don't worry, I'll save my money, just hold on until the gates open. ”

Wu Sanniang glared at the young man behind him and said, "My sister's father is weak, but my brother is not a big problem, so I don't want to help the family." ”

"Oh......" Da Lang smiled: "My younger brother is not very good in his brain, he also went out to work before, but he fell ill halfway through, and smashed other people's things, and lost a lot of money, after that, I didn't dare to let him go out to work again." ”

"I see." Wu Sanniang looked at Da Lang with some pity in her eyes.

Daddy's legs and feet are inconvenient, his younger brother is stupid, and his sister is also a sick man, how unlucky this person is, so he has such a family, but it's a pity that this good looks with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

A few people walked to the end of the alley, and the penultimate house was their destination.

Wu Sanniang unlocked the door and pushed the door in, "Don't look at my house, this house is not big, but although the sparrows are small, they have all the organs, and the lighting is good, and when it is noon, the sun will shine into the yard, and you can take advantage of that time to dry the quilt and mattress or something." There is a kang on the left and right sides of the bedroom, separated by a wall, where you men can sleep together, and little girls can sleep on the other side, without disturbing each other, and there are also individual toilets and kitchens. Look at it. ”

Da Lang took the key, "Thank you, Sanniang." ”

"Cheng, then I won't bother you to clean up the house, and you can tell me if you need anything."

Da Lang thanked him again and again, and personally sent Sanniang out of the courtyard.

When he returned, he looked through all the rooms one by one before he brought the salute into the house. Entering the house, Erlang couldn't wait to tear off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a white and beautiful face, he spat out and said, "What the hell is this, suffocating the master!" ”

"Your Highness is handsome and dignified, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a small person in the market, if you don't wear this human skin mask, I'm afraid you will be able to wear it."

Hearing this, the Nine Emperor Princes raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Okay, I'll give you face." ”

Da Lang smiled when he heard this, and also took off the human skin mask on his face, the Nine Emperor Princes were not wrong, this thing was finely made, but it was like covering a rag with water on his face.

"During this time, this is our hiding place, and everything is low-key." Cang Xuelan instructed.

The Nine Emperor Princes kicked the opponent's black coal in the corner and asked in disgust, "When can you leave?" ”

"It's up to Miss Wen."

Although Cang Xuelan was in the small courtyard, her control over all aspects had never been relaxed. After they secretly moved out of the courtyard, there were several attacks one after another, none of them on a large scale, and the way was to run away after the fight, although they did not cause much damage, but they made everyone uneasy.

When Wei Rong came to report, the red blood on his eyes was clearly visible.

Once in a while, Wang Han would stare at him with accusatory eyes, as if he was a bastard who had left them behind and enjoyed it alone.

In fact, Cang Xuelan didn't enjoy it at all, in order to prevent Lu Boyan's gang from discovering them, he had to keep vigil every night, so he could only hold the stove and cover the quilt to make a living, and he didn't even have a bed board. finally survived until daytime, and he had to change the law to coax the Nine Emperor Princes, this lord's patience was about to run out, if Wen Ying couldn't think of what the token was, he would explode.

Cang Xuelan was thinking about it, a pot of tea was placed in his hand, and Wen Ying sat beside him in a robe, "I know you like to drink wine to warm up, but I don't have wine, let's make a living with hot water in the kettle." ”

"Thanks, go back to sleep."

"I've been racking my brains for the past few days, but I can't think of what the token is, I try to start with my father's favorite things, he often reads those books, I have to come and read them several times, the objects he often carries around, I have also looked back and forth, but I still have no clue."

"I really can't do it, so I just bring all these things over and try them one by one?"

Wen Ying said with a smile: "In this way, it will be successful, I am afraid that this token is not in it, but I will run in vain." ”

"yes, plus there are still people staring at us, we have to hit it with one hit." Cang Xuelan frowned and said, "With Lord Wen's ingenuity, he will definitely leave clues. ”

"I've been thinking a lot these days, 'What am I going to do when it's all over?'

"I will accompany you back to the capital, and I will definitely be there for the emperor, and you will come with the dignity you deserve."

"And then?"

"And then?" Cang Xuelan was silent for a while, and said: "Then I will go to visit the queen's mother, the queen's maiden Liu family and my Cang family are also a little friendly, in front of her, I can still speak, with her, the noble lady in the capital will only flatter and please you when she meets you, and will never embarrass you." ”

"And then?"

"And then?" Cang Xuelan was speechless, "I...... I can't think of it. ”

Wen Ying lowered her eyebrows and smiled, got up and went back to her room, Cang Xuelan watched the lights in her room go out, and sighed.

"People are hinting at the lifelong events of the second half of their lives." The Nine Emperor Princes leaned against the wall and said coolly.

"Why hasn't Your Highness slept yet?"

"I was asleep, but I woke up again." The Nine Emperor Princes came to Cang Xuelan's side and said, "It's that smell again, it's getting bigger and bigger, can I change rooms and sleep in Ming'er." ”

"There are only two rooms here, Your Highness should take care of it."

"Actually, I'm also quite curious," the Nine Emperors raised their eyebrows and looked at him: "Miss Wen is such a beautiful woman, seeing you like this, it's not that she doesn't like it at all, why don't you want to marry?" ”

Cang Xuelan turned around and looked at Wen Ying's room, he knew that Wen Ying was not asleep yet, and he also knew that Wen Ying was still listening to the conversation between the two.

Cang Xuelan sighed and said, "After so many years, things have long been wrong, and I can only do this." ”

"It's useless for you to refuse like this," the Nine Emperor Princes said with a smile: "It's so ambiguous, the reason is unknown, and the girl will think about it a lot." ”

Cang Xuelan didn't want to say more, so she changed the topic and said, "Your Highness is still used to sleeping these days?" ”

"Can you get used to it?" The Nine Emperor Princes complained bitterly and chattered, "I'll tell you, it's good that you met me, if it were my brothers, you would have to scold you!" ”

"Minister, Your Highness Xie is considerate." Cang Xuelan's eyes rolled, and she said, "Your Highness, do you still have the habit of wearing that human skin mask?" ”

"It's normal," the Nine Emperor Princes waved his hand, and then the alarm bell sounded in his heart, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I just want to care."

"You? Concerned about me? It's almost as close to caring when I'm buried! ”

"Your Highness has misunderstood me, I really care about Your Highness."

"Oh, really?" The Nine Emperor Princes sneered, "Then what is the name of His Royal Highness?" ”

Cang Xuelan's smile froze, he was silent for a long time, and said, "...... His Royal Highness's surname is Yan. ”

"The whole world knows that Yan is the surname of the country, don't say what my surname is, just say what my name is."

"Yan ...... Nine ......"

The Nine Emperor Princes snorted coldly, "Yan Junmo, General Cang has to remember!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Cang Xuelan hurriedly said, "Good name, good name." ”

The fire in the stove looked much weaker, Cang Xuelan hurriedly added a few more pieces of coal, he turned around, and said to the Nine Emperors: "The minister knows that His Highness is not as arrogant as he appears, or he would not be willing to wear cotton clothes and live in such a dilapidated house. ”

"You misunderstood, the reason why I gave in so quickly was entirely because I couldn't beat you."

Cang Xuelan smiled and sat next to the Nine Emperor Princes, "Your Highness has something unspeakable, I understand, what happens in the palace is none of my business, I don't talk about your light work, and when I return to the capital, you and I will not interfere with the river water." ”

The Nine Emperor Princes looked at him sideways, not saying yes, nor saying bad, with a bit of interest in his eyes. He stood up and patted the ash on his pants, "Come on, go back to sleep, and you can mention it to the governor tomorrow, it's too smelly!" ”
