Chapter 4: Remuneration
The two doubled over the process and then exchanged drinks to wish the operation a success.
After the negotiation was over, Xin Xiang summoned the shopkeeper and said that he wanted to settle the bill, but Baili Lan said lightly, "Forget about this meal, after the matter is completed, I will invite the national teacher to drink together." ”
"Hey, how can you let a woman spend money on a treat, no, no." Xin Xiang hurriedly waved his hand and asked Wuda to take out the silver taels and hand them to the little er.
Holding half a silver in his hand, the shopkeeper looked at Baili Lan with some embarrassment and asked, "Boss, how do you collect this?" ”
"Boss!?"
Xin Xiang and Wu Da screamed at the same time, looking at Baili Lan incredulously, it was difficult to connect such a weak woman with Xiang Kelai, who was running a hot business.
"Give it back, and it will be credited to my account."
"Yes!" The shopkeeper obediently put the silver in front of Xin Xiang, and then respectfully withdrew from the side room, and the whole process was quiet.
"I don't know how many surprising sides of the girl are here!" Xin Xiang looked at Baili Lan with burning eyes, as if looking at a treasure, full of appreciation.
"It's just to make a living, but fortunately I can keep food and clothing."
Uda looked up at the decorations and furnishings in the house, and said, "One ornament here can make ordinary people eat for a year." The county lord is too humble. Thinking of playing tricks in front of such a person just now, Uda was so ashamed that he wanted to hit his head to death.
"I'm just standing on the shoulders of others to get this kind of achievement, and I don't have anything to show off." Bai Lilan was the first to stand up, looked at the two and smiled, "I hope we have a happy cooperation!" ”
Bai Lilan's confident and arrogant smile made people unable to take their eyes off at all, as if they were firmly attracted by an inexplicable force, and they couldn't extricate themselves. Even the two of them didn't know how they followed behind Baililan, walked out of Xiangkelai, and waved goodbye.
"Big brother, this woman is really powerful, she doesn't look like a woman anymore!" Looking at Baili Lan's back, Wuda muttered.
"Originally, it was their honor to have such a talented princess in Bac Ninh. But I don't want them to know how to cherish it at all, so that it will go to the people. It's really embarrassing to be so violent. Xin Xiang looked at Baili Lan and suddenly thought of something else. Their position in Nanzhao is empty, perhaps, they have already found an excellent candidate for the emperor!
Seeing Baili Lan walking out of the wing, Chang An Wuhua immediately followed, carefully inspecting Bai Lilan, for fear that he would be bullied.
"I know that you will only bully others, and others will not have a chance to hurt you at all, but people are still worried!" Covering his heart, Chang An Wuhua said worriedly, "I've been in for so long, people are almost going to go in to find out." ”
"Didn't you see me go in with the winter snow? It's good if others don't suffer, who can provoke me? Bai Lilan said casually and didn't mind. But no matter what Chang An Wuhua thought, he felt that those two people were suspicious.
Turning his gaze, he unexpectedly looked at Xin who had explored! Neither of them shied away, they just stared at each other like that, until Baili Lan called Chang'an Wuhua away, and he didn't know what to explain.
Looking at the slender and upright figure, Xin Xiang gradually narrowed his eyes.
Chang'an Wuhua!? One of the four princes of Kyushu, he actually made Baili Lan the shopkeeper! This Baili Lan is really a capable person!

Handing a bottle of purple potion to the man beside him, Bai Lilan ordered, "Just one drop, sprinkle it on the Nanzhao State Seal immediately." Then put the fake letterhead in the secret box and bring out the real letterhead. ”
"My subordinates understand, does the young lady have any other orders?"
"Not yet, let's go down first, remember to be careful!"
"Yes!"
The man's figure flickered slightly, and then melted into the night, the speed was terrifying.
"What a quick skill!" Dongxue squinted at the night sky and couldn't help but admire.
Xia Yu turned his head and looked at it, but he didn't see anything except the starlight. Turning to look at Dong Xue, Xia Yu said, "Who is better than that person in your light skills?" ”
"That person is a famous light master in the world, it is rumored that you can climb the mountain with one jump, who do you think is more powerful?"
"It sounds like that person is superior. It's just that he has such martial arts, why should he be meticulous? Wouldn't it be better to stand on your own and be a martial arts master? ”
"This is the power of Baixiangmen." Bai Lilan said, "I can include the world's talented people and people, and everyone can do their best." It is no wonder that Baixiangmen will be an unsurpassable existence on the rivers and lakes. ”
Hearing Bai Lilan say this, Chunfeng still said with some worry, "County Lord, although this person's light skills are first-class and difficult for people to detect, will the emperor find that the letterhead was stiffened by Li Daitao, and it is fake?" That's a big disadvantage to you, the county lord! ”
Bai Lilan didn't seem to be worried about this problem, fiddling with the tassels on the handle of the fan, and said with an indifferent expression, "The emperor has been busy with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River recently, and he has no effort to deal with the matter of Ou Qingshan. Although Su Yiling fell out of favor in front of the emperor, he was still his son, so he couldn't watch his death. Compared with the convicts, the fate of the prince is much more important, not to mention that there is more than one evidence against Ou Qingshan. Moreover, once the charge of collaborating with the enemy is confirmed, even if the relationship between Bac Ninh and Nanzhao breaks down, the emperor will naturally weigh the powerful relationship. Therefore, there is no need to worry about being found out, maybe in the end, the emperor will use it to press the bottom of the box! ”
Seeing that Baili Lan was so determined, Chunfeng relieved himself.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about these things now, let's make good arrangements and go to Nanzhao Kingdom!"
"To Nanzhao?" Several girls looked at Baili Lan in unison, looking surprised.
"That's right! Do you really think I'll care about the 100,000 taels of gold? That's just a bargaining chip to contain Xin Xiang, what I really want is to have privileges in Nanzhao and insert forces, maybe my first detective agency will be opened in Nanzhao! ”
"Why doesn't the county lord open it in Bac Ninh, even if it's not the capital, other towns are fine, after all, it's a place we are familiar with." Qiushuang didn't quite understand Baili Lan's choice, and said suspiciously, "Starting over in an unfamiliar place, we have too many things to prepare, which is time-consuming and laborious, and it really outweighs the loss." ”
"You're too short-sighted!" Bai Lilan put down the tassel, raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you think that it is easy to stay in Beining, have you forgotten that there is an emperor above?" Whether it's because of my father or the former Princess Chen, he won't let his guard down on me. What you want to do is in the way, you can't let go of your fists and feet, how can you show your ambitions? Unlike Nanzhao, the Emperor of Beining can't manage it at all, and no one knows my identity, so I rely on word of mouth to do things, and I don't mix with anything else, so it's easy to open the market. ”
Although some didn't understand what Baili Lan was talking about, seeing that she was holding the chance to win, he couldn't help but believe her from the bottom of his heart and followed her willingly. And the longer we get along, the stronger this trust becomes, and by now, it has been an unshakable lifelong follower.
Fingers swept over the flower branches, Baili Lan looked into the distance with outstanding eyes, and said lightly, "Moreover, I want to find my little brother and fourth sister, and I can't let the people of the Baili family be left behind!" ”
***
The matter of the secret edict went very smoothly, and when Bai Lilan handed over the letterhead that destroyed the Nanzhao Guozhang to Xin Xiang, Xin Xiang's heart that had fallen for more than a month finally returned to his stomach, and the whole person immediately relaxed a lot.
"The girl is really the benefactor of Nanzhao, the old man took the people of Nanzhao and thanked the girl for a hundred miles!" Xin Xiang knew that Baili Lan had married Su Yichen, but he still called Bai Lilan a girl, which showed respect.
"I don't know if the people of Nanzhao will thank me, but Emperor Nanzhao must not forget my help!" Looking at Xin Xiang with a smile, Bai Lilan raised her eyebrows and said, "I have fulfilled the promise of the day, what about Xin Xiang, should I also hand over the things that should be handed over?" ”
Xin Xiang naturally knew what Bai Lilan said, but he was still a little distressed if he really wanted to hand over the Panshan Stone. After hesitating for a moment, Xin Xiang turned around and solemnly handed a black locket into Baili Lan's hand, and said with a solemn expression, "This mountain stone is our Nanzhao treasure, I hope that Baili girl will cherish it and keep it well, and after the old man plays the emperor, he will immediately exchange the mountain stone back!" ”
Opening the small box, Bai Lilan stared at the jet-black stone carefully, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Don't worry, the national teacher, I naturally know that this thing is valuable, and I will keep it for you." ”
Looking at the mountain stone reluctantly again, Xin Xiang was ruthless and turned away with Wuda.
Seeing the two leave, Xia Yu squatted down, looked at the stone and muttered, "It's such an ordinary stone, it's not as dazzling as a gemstone, why is that national teacher so reluctant to give it up?" ”
"Because this is in Nanzhao, but it is a symbol of status." Qiushuang said on the side, "According to legend, this mountain rock is a meteorite that fell from the sky. On the day of landing, it with dazzling firelight, pierced the night sky, and finally fell into the Nanzhao Imperial Palace, without a day of damage, at the same time, the most famous emperor in the history of Nanzhao was born, and in the future, create a prosperous era of Nanzhao. Since then, Panshan stone is regarded as a good omen by the royal family, when Lianhai is old, he also ordered someone to polish and collect Panshan stone, divide it into five pieces, and reward it to the heroes who work hard with him. It can be said that in Nanzhao, this mountain stone represents the supreme identity, and people will respect it when they see it. Xin Xiang can have one of them, which proves that his family is full of glory, and he is one of the patriarchs of the five major families of Nanzhao Kingdom, if people know that he regards this thing as a worthy thing, I am afraid that he will also feel very embarrassed! ”
Xia Yu nodded suddenly, his eyes suddenly lit up, he clapped his palms and said, "Since he handed over such a precious thing to the county lord, isn't it what we are asking for, what should Xin Xiang do?" Anyway, in order to get back the Panshan Stone, he will definitely agree! ”
"What is wisdom and foolishness, I'm afraid it's our summer rain!" Qiushuang looked at Baili Lan with a smile and said, "Don't look at Xia Yu's stupid appearance on weekdays, but the mind is transparent, and one point is clear!" ”
Hearing that Qiu Shuang was praising herself, Xia Yu raised her chin proudly, looking beautiful.
Everyone looked at her smug appearance and couldn't help laughing.
