He Angelica looked at the person, about forty years old, tall and thin, white face and long hair, a pair of eyes were very bright, and he looked old and serious. After a few sentences with him, I learned that he was the owner of the Yangzhou rudder of Qiyang Palace, and he had always run world affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He Danggui said in his heart, about Meng Xuan had a relationship with the palace master of Qiyang Palace, so he asked the other party to help find them.

The helmsman's name was Li Ping, so He Angelica thanked him and took Qing'er on the clipper to chase Bai Yangbai. Set off in full gear for a while, the accompanying fleet can only be described as "magnificent", behind the eight-zhang pointed boat she and Qing'er were riding, there were nearly ten small boats far away, and nearly ten people stood on each bow, all with swords around their waists, cage ropes in their sleeves, and their clothes were fierce in the wind, showing a bit of fierceness on their faces.

Qing'er's maid Jin Jia glanced back a few times, and was suddenly frightened enough, and quietly asked her master: "Those boatmen look so scared, what are they chasing after us?" He Angelica was also puzzled in his heart, and when he heard Jin Jia ask, he also looked at Qing'er.

Qing'er replied nonchalantly: "This is the wife's personal guard arranged by Meng Xuan, which is specially designed to protect his wife." She looked at He Angelica and sneered, "They can listen to you, when you were asleep, I 'faked the holy decree' a few times, and they did whatever they wanted, if you don't believe it, you can also try, one action and one instruction." ”

He Angelica was amused when he heard it, so he turned around and shouted at those people: "Please don't follow too closely, pull out a distance in the water, so as not to collide with the front and rear boats when the wind is strong!" ”

Several of the leaders of that fleet discussed in a low voice, and then responded in unison: "Order!" Madame, please be careful, please summon with a letter arrow! ”

After shouting, the nine ships dismounted their sails in order, and the fleet no longer went with the water, but soon fell and gradually disappeared from view.

Qing'er looked back and smiled: "How is it, are they very obedient?" Not only are they obedient, but even Meng Xuan is very nervous about you. Before he left, the maid who was waiting for you came to report that you had woken up, and he immediately flew from the small boat to the big boat to see you, and I followed you, only to find that you were just turning over and talking in a dream, which was a false alarm. I thought Meng Xuan should leave, but as soon as he saw you kick the quilt, the gown rolled up to reveal a small waist, and his eyes immediately straightened. He told me. Seeing that your situation is wrong, you have to 'heal the wound', so you can't wait for me to go out and wait, and you plug the door shut! Qing'er looked at He Angelica teasingly, "Xiaoyi, how did he 'heal' you, can you feel it when you are asleep?" ”

He Angelica's face was hot, and he said angrily: "Do you still want to chase Bai Yangbai, and don't let the boatman adjust the direction of the sail, and take the current to find it!" "Meng Xuan healed her injuries? Is this the reason for her resumption of martial arts?

For a while, the boat was on the waterway, the speed of the boat was like an arrow, and it was also very stable, much more comfortable than taking a carriage by land, Qing'er teased He Angelica again, took her hand into the round cabin, put down the curtain, and took out a small mirror to let He Angelica untie the collar and take a picture by himself.

The wreckage of the war after Meng Xuan's "healing" is still vivid after two days, the skin under her placket is almost not good, and the lip marks on the snow are next to each other, combined with the faint soreness of her waist and knees at the moment, it is really embarrassing and annoying, Meng Xuan, he is a pervert......

Qing'er laughed for a while, and for a while Jin Jia came to report that a large golden eagle-headed dragon boat came over, and the ornaments on it were exactly the same as the eagle head on the small boat that Bai Yangbai was sitting on, and the boatmen asked if they wanted to stop and ask.

"Carved heads?" He Angelica said in a deep voice, "Go out and tell the boatmen, let them make way for the dragon boat, and wait for the other party to pass half a mile of waterway, and then quietly follow to see it." ”

Jin Jia went out to spread the word, and Qing'er asked very curiously, "What's wrong?" Bad guys on dragon boats? ”

He Angelica smiled silently and said: "The carved head is a common symbol of King Ning's ships, according to the color of the carved head is divided into three, six, nine and so on, King Ning himself sits on the blue and black carved head, and down is golden, crimson, pine green, and milky white. There is a boat with a golden eagle head outside, and there may be more than Bai Yangbai sitting on that boat, but also more powerful people in King Ning's mansion riding on it. Let's rush over, the other party doesn't think we are assassins, it is better to follow their ship, see where they stay, and find someone convenient. ”

"I see, it's good that you came along, otherwise I would have been in trouble!" Qing'er thought so, so she went to urge the boatmen outside again.

So the boat gave in to the dragon boat, and the other party didn't care, and copied it away, and their boat turned around and went back to follow for half an hour, and met the "escort fleet" again. He Angelica went out again and instructed them to follow each other in two batches and communicate with each other with letter arrows. In this way, when the sky was dark in the evening, when he passed through a small town port, Jin Jia came to report that the big dragon boat was docked on the shore, and the two square buildings on the dragon boat were not lit, and the people inside probably went to the shore to rest.

He Angelica ordered the boat to circle around the small half circle and dock at Zibutou, leaving two people to watch the boat and meet the escort, and the other three boatmen all went ashore together to find a group of people on the dragon boat. After going ashore, He Angelica saw that this town was very familiar, thought about it and smiled: "Yes, this is the cornice town on the edge of Taizhou, Zhu Quan asked for a mining order from the imperial court, digging copper ore here, and the dragon boat was probably sat by the person who came to check the mine, but I don't know if there is Bai Yangbai." ”

After hearing this, Qing'er asked, "Then did they buy a manor here?" ”

"No, King Ning's image has always been simple," He Danggui thought for a while and said, "Eighty percent of them went to the inn, ask which is the best inn in the town, and go there." ”

According to the words, people asked the path, and their group came to the largest thousand carp restaurant in the town, which is famous for roasting carp, and there are also foreign tourists who come here to eat fish, and then gradually changed from a restaurant to an inn, eating and living. Qing'er was so frustrated in love that she forgot to eat all day and ran a lot, so she was seduced when she heard the fragrance from afar, and took the lead in going upstairs to order food in the private room, and made up her mind to have a proud dinner.

He Angelica and his entourage arrived one step later, and there was already a running hall waiting for them, leading them up to the second floor, and entered the "pomegranate flower hall" in the second room on the left, but saw that Qing'er was eating pumpkin pie with tea and appetizing. He Angelica and Jin Jia entered the private room, and the other three stood outside the private room, insisting that they did not dare to share the room with He Angelica, so He Angelica also asked Jin Jia's pumpkin pie to cushion them.

Qing'er said while eating: "I asked Xiao Er, he said that there are a large number of nobles wearing silk and satin, go up to the large private room on the third floor to eat, what is it called 'Nalan Jacquard Hall', let's go up when we are full, pretend to meet them inadvertently, and see if Bai Yangbai is there, we have to block him up." ”

He Angelica warned: "Be careful, don't be flustered, everyone in the Ning Wang family is a human spirit." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft knock on the door, and he called in, and Jin Jia came in with a flower post with exquisite workmanship, and reported back: "Miss He, someone sent this, let you go upstairs to the Nalan Jacquard Hall to say a few words, and also sent two mothers to 'wait' for you, with a posture that you won't stop if you don't go to them." ”

He Angelica heard it strangely, thought for a while and asked Qing'er: "Is the Nalan Jacquard Hall on the side of the street or the side of the inner courtyard?" ”

Qing'er thought for a while and said, "On the other side of the street, Xiao Er told me." ”

He Angelica said: "That's it, I just brought those three boatmen over, and when I passed downstairs, I only felt as if someone was watching us." The people on the dragon boat must have seen the boatmen on the boat passing by during the day, and met them again in the evening when they rested, and they were cautious before calling for inquiries. It's okay, I'll go with them. "Open the post and read it through, and sure enough, it is to the effect that we met once on the river during the day, and we met again at night, and I felt that we had a fate with each other, so I invited each other to say two words, and I didn't shirk it.

Qing'er threw away the pumpkin pie and said, "Let's go together, take care of more." I don't talk nonsense, I don't talk when you nod my head and let me speak. ”

He Angelica read the post again, and felt that the handwriting was familiar, but he couldn't think of who it was, so he agreed to go with Qing'er, so they took a little makeup, went out and followed the two grandmothers who were waiting to welcome them to the third floor.

There are 18 private rooms on the second floor, while there are only 4 private rooms and 2 tea side rooms on the entire floor on the third floor. The door of the Nalan jacquard hall was hidden, and the two well-dressed old women only led them into the door, and when they reached the screen, they retreated without notice. He Angelica was in front, Qing'er followed, bypassing the screen, and the first thing he saw was a dressed woman who was over twenty-four or five years old, with a beautiful appearance and a brilliant temperament. As soon as Qing'er saw it, she covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Guan Yun? Hmm, admit the mistake ......"

And He Angelica also understood why he felt that the handwriting on the post was familiar, it turned out that this word was written by Xu Siniang, the wife of Concubine Zhou. After years of not seeing her, she has forgotten all the information about her enemies.

The dressed woman is naturally Zhou Jinglan, the concubine of the Zhou side, she was born in the Zhou family, and has a natural hatred for the Guan family and her parents who abandoned her when she was a child, but in recent years, the Zhou family has been weak, and gradually can not support her in the palace, she has some contacts and cooperation with the second brother Guan Mo of the Guan family, and I have heard that she has a girl named Guan Yun who looks very similar to her, and her nickname is Baoyi.

After she heard about it, she was jealous or jealous, because the milk name she got in the Guan family when she was a child was "bitter toad", it is said that she was born weak, and she took medicine for several years, and there was a toad gall in it, so she got such a nickname. A bitter toad, a treasure, the same father and mother, what a big difference!

Therefore, when she heard Qing'er open her mouth and call "Guan Yun", Zhou Jinglan stabbed her heart first, and the smile on her face stiffened, and asked: "This girl knows Miss Guan San, she must be her friend, right?" ”

Qing'er didn't expect to come over for a while, the woman in front of her was Concubine Zhou, and when she remembered that Guan Yunlai was still a little angry, she blurted out: "Who knows that woman, I washed my eyes when I saw her go home." ”

When Zhou Jinglan heard this, her face turned a little better, and she covered her mouth and said, "The girl is really a cheerful person." Then a pair of beautiful eyes looked at He Angelica again, and said with a smile, "My sister is such a delicate character, I have seen a lot of beauties, but when I study it carefully, I can't think of half of it that can overshadow my sister for a while." I don't know what your name is, where you are from, and what your family does? ”

He Angelica looked at the face on the other side and was quiet for a while, remembering that Zhu Quan had made a few women with similar descriptions to himself before, Zhou Jinglan was naturally familiar with her face, and I am afraid that it is also for this reason that she will be asked to come up and speak in the next post. She smiled lightly and lowered her head, with a shy look on her face, and said softly: "Madam, your makeup and appearance are exquisite, and you look enviable, what do I have to report to my family, or don't mention it." ”
