Chapter 22: Distractedness

"It doesn't matter how I draw it, it's important to me that you quickly find out the details of this person. Time, I'll give you ten days. When I arrive in Dadu, you will send me a message. ”

"Ling Shi is also going to Dadu?"

The shopkeeper's words alerted Baili Lan, turned to stare at him, and asked, "Again?" Who else is going to Dadu? ”

"Our sect master, doesn't Ling Shi know about this?"

Baili Lan wanted to say where Dugu Jiuhe went and what it had to do with her. But thinking that it is now counted in other people's territory after all, and using other people's resources, I will give up for the time being.

"I know about it. All you have to do is do your duty, and when the time comes, I will report your situation to the master. If you do a good job, maybe I can say a few more kind words for you in front of him. ”

"In this way, thank you Lingshi for your subordinates!" The shopkeeper bent down deeply, full of gratitude. You must know that a large part of the reason why so many disciples in the sect chose him is because he has no strength to rely on behind him, and he does not belong to any of the sects. Therefore, when selecting candidates, everyone almost did not negotiate, and they always pointed the finger at him. Now that I am alone in a foreign land, with no hope for the future, I really want to cry without tears.

With a wave of her hand, Baili Lan said, "Don't thank me, do your part." After speaking, Baili Lan got up and left the small pawnshop.

The moonlight floods the night sky, casting a glow over the town. Walking alone on a deserted path, surrounded by a gust of wind and wind, if it were an ordinary woman, she would definitely be frightened. But Baili Lan is used to such gloom. Her past life was accompanied by such darkness, so that when she first came to this world, those lights caught her off guard.

There were wild cats standing on the wall, screaming heartbreakingly, and their green eyes, like elves in the dark night, were eyeing the intruder Baililan.

Calmly paused suddenly, Bai Lilan sneered, did not turn back, and said disdainfully, "After following for so long, you can be considered patient enough." If I don't show up, I'm going to the inn, wouldn't it be a pity for you to follow you all the way? ”

The empty street, only the soft and quiet voice of Baililan, empty and weird. Especially after the words fell, in the silence, there was no other sound for a long time.

Baili Lan didn't dare to say anything else, but her patience was the best, especially when waiting for her prey to appear. Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, a figure slowly walked out behind Bai Lilan, looking at the figure, it should be a man.

"I'm afraid that the girl will misunderstand, so I will protect silently all the way." Through the faint light, it could be vaguely identified that the man was Shangguan Yan. Shangguan Yan looked at Bai Lilan, and said with some disagreement in his tone, "It's dark at night, it's not appropriate for the girl to go out alone, and taking such a remote path, wouldn't it give the wicked an opportunity to attack?" ”

Youyou turned around, Bai Lilan didn't take Shangguan Yan's warning to heart at all, her eyes were frivolous and casual, and after the night wash, it was even more demonic, "It's not the wicked who I'm afraid of these years, but people with ulterior motives!" The wicked are just a temporary injury, but those with ulterior motives want to peel off your skin and bones, and never let go without squeezing the last drop of blood on your body! ”

As if angered by Bai Lilan's words, Shangguan Yan's voice fluctuated, and he said angrily, "What a sharp-toothed girl! As early as last time, I wanted to ask carefully, why is the girl always on guard against Zaixia? It's just an unintentional conversation at the restaurant, so that the girl won't be misunderstood until now! If that disgusted you, I'm here to apologize to you. I hope that after this, the girl will not always be prickly in her words! ”

"Heh, you're angry, aren't you?" Bai Lilan still looked cynical, tilted her head, looked at Shangguan Yan opposite, and said, "If you want me not to hate you, it's very simple, don't appear in front of me, I naturally can't remember you as a person, and of course I won't be angry!" ”

"You...... Okay, okay, I'm thinking a lot about it today! Shangguan Yan was furious and wanted to turn around and leave. But as soon as he left a few steps, he still forced himself to turn around and look at Bai Lilan, and said, "Although your temperament is not likable, since you have encountered this matter tonight, you must take care of it no matter what, otherwise I will not feel at ease." ”

With a cold snort, Bai Lilan raised her arms, turned around slowly, and walked away step by step, seemingly not paying attention to the man behind her, whether he would follow.

It wasn't until Baili Lan walked out of this darkness that Shangguan Yan left silently, but he really kept his promise.

"It's boring!" The red lips opened lightly, and after Baili Lan said a few words, she returned to the inn as if nothing had happened.

"Where did the eldest sister go, the food is cold!" When Xiaobao saw Baili Lan coming back, he hurriedly jumped down from the stool, ran to Bai Lilan's side, looked at her nervously, and said, "The eldest sister left without saying a word, it's scary." Can you go anywhere in the future, take Xiaobao with you? ”

"Are you still afraid that I will leave you behind?" Touching the top of Xiaobao's hair, Baili Lan smiled, "You can rest assured, unless you want to leave in the future, the eldest sister will not leave you alone." ”

After receiving such an answer, Xiaobao seemed to feel a lot more relieved, and when he put his mind at ease, he wanted to eat something again. pestered the spring breeze to cut fruit for him, and said that he would prepare it for the eldest sister. Seeing his greedy appearance, Bai Lilan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and sighed, "He wasn't so greedy when he was a child, why did the more he grew up, the better his appetite became?" ”

Bai Lijun, who had been standing beside Bai Li Lan, thought for a while, and saw that Bai Li Lan seemed to be in a good mood, so he said, "Eldest sister has dinner outside?" Do you need a spring breeze to prepare something for you? ”

"No, I'm not hungry. Let's all go back and rest, it's getting late, and we have to get up early tomorrow to hurry. ”

"Tomorrow...... Are you leaving? ”

Sensing Baili Jun's strange appearance, Bai Lilan turned around, stared at her with both eyes, and asked with a good mistake, "Why don't you leave?" Is there anything else you miss here? ”

"No, how could it be, it's just that the eldest sister went out so late, thinking that the eldest sister had something to do here." Bailijun hooked his hair behind his ears in disguise and said, "Of course, it would be good if you could continue to travel, you can leave these deserted places." Xiaobao said that most of them are prosperous, and Ah Jun wants to see it. ”

Bai Lilan showed a smile of unknown meaning, which made Baili Jun feel worried, his eyes wandered around, and he finally didn't dare to look at Bai Lilan.

"Okay, you're tired from the day, go back and rest. Remember to let the spring breeze bring you some hot water, don't you have blisters on your feet, if you don't deal with it well, it's easy to fester. ”

After a pause in the footsteps of leaving, Bailijun seemed to be unbearable, but in the end, he bit his lip and ran back to the room.

Looking at the direction in which Baili Jun left, a dangerous smile appeared on Bai Lilan's lips.

***

After running all the way again, everyone finally came to the second largest city in Nanzhao, Dadu. In terms of the degree of luxury, although most of the capital is not as good as the capital, it is better than the developed animal husbandry, fertile soil, and many merchants who trade back and forth, which has led to the prosperity of the capital.

Standing on the stone street, Baili Qingbao took a deep breath, only felt sweet, couldn't help but close his eyes, and said with emotion, "It's really different from the capital here, even the air is so fresh!" ”

Xia Yu was moving the things in the carriage into the house rented in advance, and when he heard Xiaobao sigh like this, he couldn't help but stop, crossed his hands on his waist, and retorted, "Little boy, how good is it here, it's not as good as in the capital!" ”

"The capital is always dry, like here, the air is humid, the grass is green, it is simply beautiful!"

"Dry? Our capital is full of beautiful scenery, how can it be dry, let's just say that the Qianshui River outside the city, the smoke and waves are vast, is there most of this? ”

"Okay, okay, whether it's the capital or the capital, we are all sojourners, what are we doing arguing about!" Bai Lilan interrupted the endless quarrel between the two of them, frowned and said, "Now move the things in first, settle the residence and talk about other things!" ”

As soon as Baili Lan's words came out, naturally no one dared to ignore them, and immediately closed their mouths, what should they do.

Seeing this, Baili Jun, who was also busy with everyone, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "What are the eldest sisters doing with them, they are all children." ”

"You treat him like a child, but the world doesn't treat him as a child. Along the way, there was no time to urge Xiaobao to practice martial arts and read, and when he settled down, he should not be indulged like this. What Dingnan Wangfu needs is a revitalizer, not a second ancestor who does not learn and does not know how to do it. ”

Seeing Bai Lilan's serious appearance, Bai Lijun didn't dare to persuade more, put away his smile, and stood aside with his head down.

As if realizing that his words had frightened Baili Jun, Bai Lilan's tone was a little softer, and then said, "That's it, these things can't be said to you." Come in and see what you like, we're going to stay here for a while. ”

Bailijun nodded obediently and said, "Then eldest sister, I'll go in first." ”

"Go ahead."

As soon as Baili Jun left, Dong Xue walked up to Bai Lilan and said in a low voice, "County Lord, the people who are following us have already evacuated this morning. ”

"They're pretty fast." Bai Lilan smiled casually and said, "It seems that Xin Xiang's people have arrived, get ready, and they will come to the door by tomorrow night at the latest." ”

"County Lord, do we have to make some preparations?"

Slowly shaking her head, Bai Lilan lowered her eyebrows and said, "The game that should be laid out is ready, and there is no need to worry about it." Merely...... You don't need to do anything else now, just watch Miss Four and watch her every move. ”

Baili Lan's words made Dongxue slightly surprised, and said hesitantly, "Do you suspect that Fourth Miss ......?"

"Suspicion is useless, only by grasping the evidence can people be convinced. But she's my sister after all, and I don't want to see her sink deeper and deeper. ”

"If you catch the handle, what will the slave do?"

"You don't have to do anything, just tell me what you see. The fourth sister is kind by nature, but she is too easy to trust others. Such people are easy to be taken advantage of, just like the summer rain of the year. If you don't experience some pain yourself, no amount of admonition to her will help. ”
