Chapter 97: Cao Gang
Qian Qianqian's attitude of having no silver here and being so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do made Xiao Mohan very satisfied, he gradually withdrew his hand, and watched Qian Qianqian's expression gradually become serious, "This time, I came here to report peace to you, and second, I want you to help with something." ”
Qian Qianqian's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and she took advantage of the situation to distance herself from Xiao Mohan, walked to the table and sat down. There was still unfinished tea on the table of the Eight Immortals, and she picked it up and drank it, which completely calmed down the anxiety in her heart, "You want us to help you track down the person who has the black hand?" ”
Xiao Mohan sat opposite, paused for a while and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have opened your mind." ”
She said this as if she had been stupid before.
Qian Qianqian pursed her mouth, "What are your plans?" Lure the snake out of the hole or? ”
Xiao Mohan sent his injured leg to Qian Qianqian, his eyes fell on it, and he looked at her meaningfully, "It's really a boast." ”
“……”
"Now, although the news of the fishing village is in a uproar, fortunately, it has not yet appeared in front of insiders, so it doesn't matter. It's just that you are looking for me with such fanfare, not only the people behind it, but even the Cao Gang are alarmed. They seem to have sent people to hinder you for some reason, but they have not done anything to kill people, and they do not know friend or foe, so they must first test clearly. ”
Xiao Mohan took out a letter with a beeswax title from his arms and handed it to Qian Qianqian, "When I was a child, I had some friendship with the young master of the Cao Gang at that time and now the gang leader, you can find a way to get in touch with the Cao Gang, and contact the gang leader to test the details before you can hand over this letter." This is a mixed blessing, you need to think of a way out beforehand, do you understand? ”
The more his face said that the more serious he became, and Qian Qianqian also became serious, sitting upright, looking at the other party solemnly, "Naturally understand." She paused for a moment, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and asked: "Since the general talked about the old fate of the Cao Gang, if the Cao Gang is neither a friend nor an enemy, but also an enemy or a friend, can you also use this letter to block it and win it over to our side." The affairs of the waterway are all the world of the Cao Gang, and this help will definitely be beneficial to find the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
Xiao Mohan hadn't thought about this layer before, "You think it through." ”
"It depends on the relationship between the general and the gang leader." Judging from Xiao Mohan's cautious attitude, Qian Qianqian thought it was the relationship between Pingshui and Pingshui, but she didn't want Xiao Mohan to say: "I passed by the Yanzhou Caobang Wharf when I was a child, and I saved his life by coincidence." ”
He said it lightly, and his expression was as calm as water, Qian Qianqian was excited, "This is a great grace, you should be grateful, if you can still be the enemy of the general, you really don't deserve to be called a person!" ”
Xiao Mohan smiled lightly, "It's all children, but I don't know if he remembers." Besides, it wasn't really to save him at that time, it was just a good deal. What's more, I haven't identified myself, and because I'm in a hurry, I haven't had anything to do with the Cao Gang. This matter is only about me and him, and if it weren't for the current situation, I wouldn't want to rely on such kindness to ask for any convenience from the Cao Gang. ”
Is such an act of giving favor without expecting anything in return really done by the person in front of you?
Qian Qianqian couldn't believe it, at least in her relationship with Xiao Mohan, she didn't say that this person would repay him, but she also had to be regarded as a "mercenary" who did everything to seek a return for interests.
Xiao Mohan saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time, and when she raised her eyes, she just met her eyes, Qian Qianqian saw those unsuspecting eyes, and her heart "chuckled", and suddenly realized that she didn't know when or why, she seemed to have become Xiao Mohan's most trusted person, otherwise such a life-related matter would not have been delivered to her, and even Mu Tianyue did not have such treatment.
Her heart warmed, and she patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, just leave it to me." ”
Xiao Mohan frowned slightly, grabbed her wrist and pulled it on the table, "As a woman, it's better to learn less about the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, and ......" He waved his arm up and down, pointing directly at her clothes, "It's rare to dress like this, otherwise what you've been worrying about is afraid that it will really happen." ”
Qian Qianqian raised her eyebrows, "What do I have to worry about?" ”
"When you were in Qianjia Village, if you said it, let me not ruin your reputation, lest no one dare to marry in the future?" Xiao Mohan smiled playfully.
A flush flashed on Qian Qianqian's face, and she subconsciously turned her head away and cleared her throat, "It's okay, it's not in Qianjia Village this time, and there is no one in the house, as long as the general doesn't tell me my identity, naturally there will be no such troubles." ”
Xiao Mohan looked at the shy-looking lovely person in front of him, and thought: It's really difficult to hear "let me be responsible" or "promise by example" from your mouth. Aren't ordinary women happy to cling to others? Are you really just a village woman in Qianjia Village?
He couldn't help but think of the several groups of people he had sent to investigate Qian Qianqian, and the results were surprisingly consistent, and there really seemed to be nothing wrong with her background.
Could it be that he was overthinking? In this world, there are people who are favored by God, who can be different no matter where they are born?
He couldn't help but shake his head.
Seeing this, Qian Qianqian said suspiciously: "General? ”
Xiao Mohan was interrupted by her, and replied, "Huh? ”
That knee-jerk reaction made Qian Qianqian see the look that a nineteen-year-old boy should have, at this moment he is no longer the commanding general, nor is he a nasty ghost who loves to play tricks on her, he is just a beautiful and youthful appearance.
Qian Qianqian suddenly had a sense of age gap with him, she thought that she would be repulsed, and even ashamed that she would like a little child, but it seemed that something called "motherhood" rose in her heart.
She suddenly realized what the nineteen-year-old boy in front of her was bearing......
The family and the country, the court fights, and the tigers and wolves are around......
If it is a modern age, he should be in college at his age, there is no heavy study, he can join clubs, he can have a girlfriend, and there is no pressure, it should be the best time in life.
Qian Qianqian looked at Xiao Mohan with some distress, the other party seemed to be mistaken, and her face sank, "Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes." ”
"I didn't." Qian Qianqian retracted her eyes in a panic, "How can the general be pitiful?" Born in the family of princes and generals, enjoying the glory and status that ordinary people can't enjoy, if you want to say pitiful, I'm afraid it's also pitiful for us people. Qian Qianqian didn't know if she had done a good job of disguise, but when she saw Xiao Mohan raise the corners of her mouth disdainfully after hearing her words, she snorted coldly through her nose, thinking that it would work.
After all, I still like to listen to flattery.
Xiao Mohan explained what to pay attention to when dealing with the Cao Gang, and left Zhongzhou before dark.
Three days later, in the early morning, the border of Zhongzhou, the riverside wharf.
"Come on, big guy!" The shirtless man shouted at the boatmen at the docks, pouring all his strength into them, so that the boatmen could be encouraged to work harder.
When boarding, the pier resounded with earth-shattering shouts, and everyone was in a hurry to load the goods on the ship.
A group of people came from afar, led by a silk silk cloth, followed by a maid and a maid.
"Who's coming?" The foreman stepped down the deck and went up to meet him.
"He is a businessman who talks business with the Cao Gang."
The foreman looked the person in front of him up and down, his eyes suspicious, "Is there a black dragon order?" ”
"Nature." As soon as the person in front of him raised his hand, the little guy behind him quickly stepped forward and presented a token carved with a dragon body carved in black stone with both hands.
When the foreman saw the token, he immediately changed his attitude, turned his head and said to his subordinates: "Work hard!" ”
"Yes!"
Fu bowed his head again, and his arm led to the southeast, "Please come here." ”
It wasn't until the foreman turned around and walked forward that Qian Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, and she tidied up the maid's bun, which seemed to be the first time she pulled her hair in a bun after crossing over, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.
She whispered to Mu Tianyue beside her, "How, I said that that thing can be drawn as long as I see it at a glance, and it is guaranteed to be fine." ”
Mu Tianyue raised his hand to silence, "Don't get carried away at this moment, otherwise you will fall short." ”
Qian Qianqian stuck out her tongue, followed with small quick steps, and soon walked to an inconspicuous alleyway near the pier.
The foreman was still walking inside, but Qian Qianqian's eyes swept into the alley, but he didn't see the entrance of any house, only irregular green bricks.
Zhao Ye in front turned his head to glance at Qian Qianqian and Mu Tianyue, his expression was vigilant, he opened his mouth slightly, and said in a silent lip, "Be careful." ”
The two nodded in agreement, and Zhao Ye followed the foreman and walked a few steps inside.
Qian Qianqian whispered to Mu Tianyue, "Brother Mu, I will have a little self-defense, if there is any danger for a while, I will ......" Before her words fell, several black shadows jumped from the high walls on both sides of the laneway, and her eyes were dark, as if she was covered by some sack or something. At the same time, her shoulders were also clamped, and the foreman's voice came from her ears, "Don't panic, this is the rule of the Cao Gang, please bear with me first." ”
The tone is respectful, but this thing is not half done with the meaning of respectful hospitality, but as if it is treating prisoners.
Qian Qianqian wanted to have a seizure, Mu Tianyue grabbed her wrist as if she knew in advance, and pressed it down, although he didn't speak, she understood the meaning.
That impulse was also suppressed for the time being.
She couldn't help but think of Xiao Mohan's telling Jianghu organizations like the Cao Gang to have their own rules, and many times they couldn't be understood according to common sense.
Qian Qianqian soothed her mood, and according to the guidance of the person behind her, she walked all the way to the middle of nowhere, like a blind man crossing the river by feeling the stones.
After that, Qian Qianqian felt that she was in a cramped carriage, and the people sitting next to her were not Zhao Ye and Mu Tianyue, she was a little flustered for a while, and subconsciously broke free, but an unusually familiar voice came from her ears, "The road is not far, the girl is a little safe." ”
Although she couldn't remember who it was for a while, the voice did give her an inexplicable sense of security, and while she kept guessing the identity of the other party, the carriage also began to jolt, and after about a stick of incense, the bump stopped.
Qian Qianqian felt that the people around her gently patted her on the shoulder, which was very different from the person who escorted her before.
"Girl, we're here."
Then she staggered and got out of the carriage nervously, and her eyes lit up, and the sudden bright light forced her to close her eyes, and her vision was white and vast, and she couldn't see it really.
