Chu Nian frowned and looked at the silhouette in the darkness vigilantly, her intact right arm was tense, if the person took another step, she would smash her fist into the person's face.

The guards were crowded in the next room, and this person could come in quietly without letting the guards find out, obviously a master, and he couldn't be lazy.

Seeing that Chu Nian was like a fried kitten, the man laughed breathlessly, "But I haven't seen you for a month, is the third lady hostile to Zaixia?" ”

Chu Nian heard a hint of familiarity from this joking voice, and couldn't help but relax his expression, lowered his eyes and said: "I can hide from the little girl's secret guard, Hu Shopkeeper's kung fu is really good." ”

The outline moved, revealing a handsome face under the moonlight, it seemed to be a little worse than Ming Xiu, but it was not bad, Ming Xiu would give people a sense of loneliness as long as he stood in place, but this person was different, as long as he hooked the corners of his lips, the flowers would be discolored, if he had to compare the two sides, then Ming Xiu was a lonely forest tiger who did not want to be approached, this person was a poisonous snake with a flower-colored skin.

The third lady laughed, there is only a literati in the next generation, how can you talk about kung fu? It's just a little trick to cover up his existence. ”

Chu Nian's face was stunned, he was waiting for her here in advance? But Mo said that she was careful not to be discovered when she went out of the city, how did he know that he would definitely settle in Qianxi Town?

Seeming to be very satisfied with Chu Nian's reflection, the man raised his head and chuckled, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip unceremoniously, "The third lady came back from the hunting ground, and I already got the news in the next place, but I don't know where the third lady is going, and the subordinates who are monitoring the city gate report that you have taken the path next to the official road, and only then did you know the whereabouts of the third lady, so I asked my subordinates with high skill to take me here to wait." ”

After a while, Chu Nian soothed his expression and leaned on the side of the couch relaxedly, "Shopkeeper Hu has wasted so much energy, I'm afraid that he didn't come to catch up with the little girl, right?" ”

The man's thin lips hooked, and a pair of peach blossom eyes fell on Chu Nian's face, and she was uncomfortable when she saw that she was uncomfortable, and then said: "If you say it below, it is because you miss the third lady in the next place, so you take this opportunity to come to meet you deliberately?" ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to pout, and said jokingly: "I can't make jokes, the three ladies are really boring, but the three ladies don't want to call me any 'Hu' shopkeeper, in the next name Jinyan, surnamed Tao, the third lady is called in the next Ah Yan." ”

Chu Nian looked at him with a frown, "Mr. Jinyan." ”

Tao raised his eyebrows dissatisfied, put down the tea cup in his hand, and was about to blurt out the words of teasing, seeing the seriousness in Chu Nian's eyes, he had to stop his mouth, and said helplessly: "I don't have any purpose here, I just want to ask the third lady for a favor."

Gift? Chu Nian lowered his eyes, she did owe him a personal favor, this Tao Jinyan was not an ordinary person, he had already realized it from the first time he saw him, just with his ability to predict her whereabouts just by walking the path next to the official road, what could he do to get her?

Seeing that Chu Nian was puzzled, Tao Jinyan shook his head, and a pair of peach blossom eyes shone with a bit of essence, "I want to ask the third lady for a few children." ”

As soon as she heard that it was a child, Chu Nian immediately became vigilant, she did send them to Jishitang with great fanfare after saving those children, Tao Jinyan was not surprised to know the existence of children, but what did he want children to do? Is it possible, but also want to learn from those traffickers who have been taken out of conscience by dogs, and use her favor to resell children?

Seeing the small peaks gathered between Chu Nian's eyebrows from a distance, Tao Jinyan smiled even more happily, "Where did the third lady go?" Looking like a bad guy underneath? ”

Chu Nian's gaze fell on his face, and he seemed to acquiesce in his words.

Tao Jinyan's smile froze on his face, and after a while, he coughed lightly and uncomfortably, "I have recently discovered a new way of wealth in Xia, and I am planning to form a team, it is best to use it if it is taught from a young age, anyway, those children who are hidden in Jishitang by the third lady can't find their families, so it is better to ask them to join under the command of Xia, which can be regarded as a way out in the future." ”

When the words fell, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Nian, as if he was sure that she would definitely agree, and smiled, "The third lady can't keep them all the time, right?" ”

These words poked Chu Nian's heart, indeed, she needs to employ people in the future, but that is also a long time ago, these children are still young, and she really doesn't worry about asking them to go out and take risks.

But if she doesn't pull a layer of skin from the other party in business, is she still called Chu Nian?

Seeing that Chu Nian was still frowning and not speaking, Tao Jinyan was surprised: "Third lady, this is a matter that is beneficial to you and the children." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyes to look at him, and his gaze fell on a jade pendant on his waist, which had a strong word "peach" written on it, which seemed to be the waist card of Tao Jinyan's family.

Tao looked at Chu Nian with a smile, "The third lady is reluctant?" What you want, try your best to meet in the next. ”

Seeing this, Chu Nian's brows eased a little, "After all, these children have lived with the little girl for many days, and they have already cultivated a relationship, so it is natural to be reluctant, but the little girl wants to ask, what does the gentleman want to ask these children to do?" ”

Tao said a little more seriously, "There is a lack of a team to listen to intelligence, if this team grows, it will become an organization in the future, and in the future, whether it is Da Liang or Xichu, no matter the slightest wind and grass can escape the eyes of the below." ”

Chu Nian looked at him thoughtfully, "Why did Mr. want to listen to the information of Da Liang and Xi Chu?" ”

Seeing Chu Nian's question, Tao Jinyan's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and the folding fan in his hand shook gently, "People, they are always not satisfied with the power they have, and it is too boring to just control a big cool Kyoto." ”

For power? Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, why didn't he say what he wanted this power for?

"San Niangzi, if you are willing to lend the children to Zaixia, what news does Sanniangzi want in the future, and give it to Sanniangzi at a price of 30%, how about it?"

Tao Jinyan sat calmly on the Taishi chair, and her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

Chu Nian saw that the victory in his eyes was in his hands, and he lowered his eyes and pinched the broken hair between his forehead, "The little girl and the husband only have two sides, but the children are the little girl's treasures, this is ......"

Tao Jinyan suddenly looked at her with wide eyes, "Third lady? I made a full concession in the next place! ”

But Chu Nian didn't buy it, I saw her sigh faintly and said: "I'm afraid that the little girl is willing, and the children are not willing, they are the clingy age, and when the little girl left Jishitang, they were reluctant to cry one by one." ”

This person's proposal is not bad, I wonder if she can cultivate such a force herself?

Seeing that Chu Nian was reluctant to hand over the children, Tao Jinyan had no choice but to grit his teeth, "The third lady will say whatever she wants." ”

Tao Jinyan This can be regarded as a bloody investment, except for the little beggar in Kyoto, who is the prostitute of the Qinglou, the only force that resells children from outside Kyoto has long been sent to prison by Chu Nian, and Tao Jinyan needs teachable children, and only those taken in by Chu Nian.

It seems that no matter what she asks, Tao Jinyan will be satisfied.

Chu Nian smiled, a pair of slightly narrowed eyes glowed with a calculating light, and Tao shuddered when he saw her speak: "If Mr. is so sincere, the little girl only needs the other half of this force to command." ”

She didn't know all the details of Tao Jinyan, and she didn't need to know, she just needed to know if he would be her enemy.

It seems that he didn't expect Chu Nianshi to open his mouth, Tao Jinyan folded the fan, and opened his mouth a little annoyed, but after a while, he had to compromise: "Okay, it's up to the third lady, but the selected children need to be selected personally." ”

Seeing Tao's frustrated face, Chu Nian suddenly smiled, "Naturally, but the little girl will always monitor Mr., and Mr. still has to treat these children well." ”

Tao Jinyan stood up, gritted his teeth and pushed the door out gracefully, "Yes-I must treat the children well." ”

……

This episode did not affect Chu Nian's hurry, the next morning Chu Nian woke up a few secret guards, and when the five of them rode on horseback, the dark three also rubbed his neck and said in surprise: "Strange, why did I fall asleep during the vigil last night?" ”

The dark four horses were beside him, his eyes swept over Chu Nian lightly, and he didn't say a word.

This trip they are going to Yuhang Mountain next to Qianxi Town, this Yuhang Mountain is a fairyland on earth in the rumors, the mountain is a green onion, halfway up the mountain is floating clouds all the year round, the world is said to be living in the high place of this mountain with immortals, but no one has ever reached the top of the mountain, as long as you go halfway up the mountain, you will get lost.

However, Chu Nian didn't need to be as high as halfway up the mountainside, according to Ming Xiu's investigation, the person she was looking for lived under the mountainside.

A group of people rode up the mountain, fortunately the mountain is high, but not steep, between the mountains and rivers, the horses are leisurely.

It wasn't until he saw the wooden house not far away that Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, when he heard Ming Xiu say that he had found that person, Chu Nian also suspected that Ming Xiu had found the wrong person, after all, the Heartless Daoist had been looking for someone who had not been able to find him for so many years, and it was really unrealistic for Ming Xiu to find it so easily, but at the moment, it seemed that the person was right.

There was curling smoke floating above the wooden house, and in the courtyard, a Lang Jun who looked about the same size as Chu Nian was chopping wood hard, he was wearing coarse linen clothes, and the sweat on his forehead crossed his delicate face from time to time.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Na Langjun raised his head and crashed into a pair of smiling eyes, his heartbeat missed half a beat, and his body suddenly froze in place.

After a while, he stumbled and said, "You...... Who are you! ”

Chu Nian turned over and dismounted, the secret guards were like this, she smiled lightly at Na Langjun, "Mrs. Sui, but she lives here?" ”

That Lang Jun regained his expression, and looked at Chu Nian and the four secret guards vigilantly, "What...... What Lady Sui, I don't know! You're in the wrong place! ”

Chu Nian opened his mouth, and at this time, a woman walked out of the wooden house, her voice was light and loud, "Ali, who is here?" ”

I saw that the woman was about thirty years old, with a plain goose egg face and willow eyebrows, but the hair on the top of her forehead fell down to block most of her face, and when she saw Chu Nian, the woman's face was slightly stunned, "Who are you?" ”

Chu Nian took the lead in stepping forward, and saw that Langjun was blocking in front of the woman, Chu Nian smiled indifferently, leaned over and said, "Chu Nian, the third daughter of the little girl Zhenninghou Mansion, is entrusted by a friend to come to meet Mrs. Sui." ”
