Chapter 447: A Good Gentleman's Deal

By the time Du Wei followed the child to the earthen house, it was already sunset.

Push open the dilapidated bamboo fence gate and find a gravel path to enter, and the low door needs to be lowered to enter.

The room was dimly lit, and Du Wei stood for a moment to fit the light inside.

A woman in her thirties, dressed in coarse linen clothes, stood in front of the door, and when she saw Du Wei, her face was full of restraint, and she lowered her head and didn't even dare to say more.

Du Wei turned to the child and asked, "Who else are you in your family?" ”

"It's just me living with my mother." The child blinked his dark eyes and pointed to the door of the back room, "Pretty brother is inside." ”

Du Wei asked Linglong to take out five taels of silver and hand it to the woman in her thirties, and whispered to the child: "Don't tell anyone that you have a beautiful brother living here." ”

The child nodded again and again, "My brother has said, if I want to tell others, my sister will not give me money." ”

Du Wei was slightly relieved when she heard this, and secretly congratulated the child's innocence.

She left the guards outside the door, and asked Linglong to stay in the outhouse to talk to the woman and the child, but she went into the inner room herself.

The room was dimly lit, the air was filled with decaying damp and a sweet smell of rust, a simple bamboo bed with a blue curtain dangling, half a candle on the table, a clay pot and three coarse tea bowls.

There was a young man lying on the bed, wearing a bright red brocade robe, but the placket of the robe was splashed with dark red marks, and it was difficult to make out the original color of the brocade robe.

Du Wei took a few steps forward and saw the man's face clearly: although it was white and frightening, his eyes were still bright.

He turned his head a little hard when he heard the footsteps, and when he saw her, his chapped lips showed a hint of a smile, and "You're here......" in a faint tone, as if he had expected it.

Du Wei stood still in front of the bed and looked at him back and forth: "Wu Long." ”

The man pursed his lips, looked back at her deeply, and suddenly said, "Are the woman and the child still outside?" ”

Du Wei bowed her head slightly.

"You know what to do." Wu Long said calmly, but the hand on his side was clenched into a fist, as if he was on guard at any time.

Du Wei couldn't help but feel gloomy, now as Wu Long's identity, it will only cause more trouble, if someone finds her here, not only Du Yifan's stigma cannot be cleared, but even Du Fu will be affected.

Wu Long's meaning is very clear to her: kill people and kill people, and leave no trouble.

But......

Look at the kid...... She couldn't get that hand.

After thinking for a while, Du Wei returned to the door and instructed Linglong outside: "Go to the car and get a pen and paper." ”

After a while, Du Wei hurriedly wrote a letter in front of the table, turned a ring on his hand to the back, revealed the seal-like side, and covered it on the paper.

Wu Long was lying on the bed, and he could only see her movements, but he couldn't see what was written on the paper.

After Du Wei finished writing the letter, he sealed it, went out and handed it to Linglong, and instructed a guard, "Take them to Youlan Pavilion and give this letter to the head of Qinbei." ”

The guard took the letter and took it away, and was about to take the woman and the child away, but the woman was overwhelmed with panic on her face.

Du Wei comforted: "Don't worry, the head of Qinbei will arrange your life, and you will never be as unsettled as you are now." Then he asked Linglong to take out five taels of silver and hand it to her, and said, "Keep this money for you to buy clothes and other things, don't bring anything here." ”

The woman answered, and followed the guard with the child.

On the bed, Wu Long's eyes deepened: "How do you know the master of Youlan Pavilion in Qinbei?" ”

Du Wei turned the ring on his hand back to its original position, it was the seal of the unequaled son, whether it was Qinbei or Cangming, as long as he saw this seal, it would be like seeing the unequaled prince himself.

"It's rare that Wu Gongzi still has the heart to care about these things now." Du Wei said sarcastically.

Wu Long chuckled, but he felt uncomfortable and gasped.

Du Wei stood there patiently, watching his strained breathing, and it took a long time to regain his composure.

"Miss Du, I want to make a deal with you." A smirk appeared on Wu Long's lips.

He's got something to do with it!

Du Wei tried her best to control her emotions, she didn't want the other party to think that she was too eager, because then she would be caught by the other party on her weaknesses.

"Oh? What kind of deal, Wu Gongzi can talk about it. ”

Wu Long closed his eyes tiredly, and it took him a long time to open: "I can help you clear your eldest brother's guilt." ”

"And what do you get out of it?" She didn't believe that he would do good deeds with good intentions.

"Stay alive."

Du Wei looked at Wu Long and said uncertainly: "It's that simple?" ”

"You don't believe me?" Wu Long smiled bitterly, "If you don't come today, I will definitely not be able to survive tomorrow, and I will not lose money on this transaction." ”

"So, you're taking advantage?" Although she said it lightly, her eyes dimmed, and she remembered that the night at the docks, he could escape alive from so many secret guards, and he must have been hurt a lot.

"I, Wu, have not been reduced to the point of making a woman pity." Wu Long chuckled, "It's a deal, but don't be too happy, although I know Lu Xiwen's whereabouts, I can't tell you now." ”

Du Wei frowned: "Are you afraid that I won't believe in my words?" ”

"Wu is like this now...... I had to guard against ......"

Du Wei thought for a moment, although she was unwilling, she had to admit that the other party's worries were well-founded.

She knew his identity, and he was also a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and he had a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, no matter what point of view, she shouldn't save him.

The only thing he could rely on at the moment was a deal with her.

"If you don't survive tomorrow night, this deal will be my loss?" Du Wei had calmed down at this time and sat down on the wooden chair next to the table.

"Not really......" Wu Long was just halfway through his words, when he suddenly frowned as if he was enduring something, and then spurted out a large mouthful of blood, splashing on the cyan curtain, shocking.

"If I die...... You may give my body to the government...... As long as you do it properly, you can also bail your eldest brother out temporarily......"

Du Wei sat silently, watching the person on the bed struggling, and it took a long time to regain his composure.

"Understood." Du Wei said in a deep voice, "You can bear with it again, I will let people carry you out when it is dark, otherwise it will always be a little troublesome to be seen by the idle people around." ”

"Don't worry, Wu won't be able to die for a while...... Wu Long's tone is light, but his wheezing is getting heavier and heavier, as long as a small action that he doesn't pay attention to, it will cause a series of attacks, and as the sky outside gradually darkens, the number of his attacks becomes more and more frequent.

Du Wei sat there but had no way at all, she could only hope that Wu Long's judgment of her situation was correct, and she would be able to survive until tomorrow without treatment.

Finally, the twilight outside the window was approaching.

The guards who sent the mother and son to Youlan Pavilion also returned, and Du Wei asked Linglong to find a thin blanket from the carriage, and ordered the two guards to wrap Wu Long like an object and carry him into the carriage.

All the way to Du Fuxing.
