Chapter 246: Snow Lotus
Xie Cheng and Xiao Jiu left the next day, Nizi and Hearts didn't follow, let Nizi go, but Nizi had to stay and take care of Xiang Bei, and her father was also here, so there was no need to go early.
As for the second heart of heart, of course, Hao Pang left her, Hao Pang bought her just to relieve her loneliness, how could she let her go. The three hearts followed back, and Hao Pang was embarrassed to leave the two to serve him.
When they're all gone, all that's left is to wait. Wait for the enemy to come to your door. And it didn't make them bored in Snowfall City for a few more days before the enemy took action. On this day, Xiang Bei was eating, and a guy knocked on the door and came in: "Guest officer, someone left a note for you." ”
Xiang Bei took it, and after opening it, there were five words inside: "Shilitang outside the city." ”
Xiang Bei got up and came to the door of Chu Mercy's room, and did not push the door in directly as usual, but respectfully asked: "Miss, I have something to go out, I don't know if it's okay?"
Chu was reading the villain book in the house at this time, and when he heard Xiang Bei suddenly call him so, and he was so polite, he frowned on the spot: "What the hell." But he quickly figured out why, and grinned.
She came out of the room and asked with a serious face, "What are you going out for?"
Xiang Bei replied respectfully: "Some private matters, visit a friend of Handu." ”
"Why haven't I heard you talk about it, you still have friends in Handu?" Chu made a skeptical look.
Xiang Bei replied: "I haven't mentioned it, it doesn't mean that I haven't." ”
"Well, go ahead, come back early. ”
"Yes. Xiang Bei went downstairs, went to the backyard and rode out of the city. And while he was doing all this, there were people in the inn watching him all the time. When I saw him leaving, I followed him out.
As soon as they left, Chu Jingtian ran to Chu Pitian's room: "Which one did you play with Xiang Bei just now?"
Chu replied pitifully: "It is estimated that someone summoned him and asked him to go out of the city to meet him." He came to ask me for leave, first, to remind me that the show had begun. The second is to determine that the person who summoned the interrogator did not leave, and deliberately did it for the enemy to see. If you enter my room, you will make the enemy suspicious of what to discuss, and you may not dare to meet him. And if it's too casual and we seem too close, the enemy will wonder if he will trick me. This guy is careful, does things well, and has to do all the small details. ”
"Isn't he afraid that you will show your stuff? If you think that he is deliberately playing a prank again, go out and ask Lao Xiang what you are doing, won't it be smashed, and people will just act at a glance, and usually this is not the case at all. ”
"Uncle, you don't think I'm so brainless, do you?"
"It's hard to say, it's very smart to talk to others, but it's hard to talk to Xiang Bei. Do you want me to go along and have a look?"
"No, Lao Xiang can handle it. What I'm thinking about now is that when the time comes, these people will be killed by me again, and how Lao Xiang explains to Ku Rong will definitely be suspected by Ku Rong. ”
"That's his business, you leave it alone. Chu Jingtian was not worried about this.
Xiang Bei went out of the city at this time, holding a map in his hand, and muttered vigorously where is Shilitang, I didn't see any ponds on the way here, and there is no one on this map, where to find it.
Running to an intersection, Xiang Bei stopped, and scolded in his mouth: "Bastard, which way to go ten miles?" and took out a gold coin: "Go straight to the front, turn left and turn back, turn right and can't catch it and fall to the ground." ”
After saying that, he tossed the gold coin, and wanted him to fall on the back of his hand, but he really didn't catch it all of a sudden and fell to the ground.
Xiang Bei got off the horse and picked up the gold coin: "I didn't catch it at such a high level, which means that God is guiding me, turn right." ”
Jumping back on the horse, Xiang Bei turned right. The guy who was staring at him in the inn had also arrived here at this time, looking at Xiang Bei, who turned right and ran away, he looked confused: "Is this person so unreliable?
He shouted at Xiang Bei, who was far away: "It's wrong, it's the wrong direction." ”
Xiang Bei didn't hear it when he heard it, and continued to run forward. The guy couldn't stand it and hurried to catch up.
Xiang Bei looked proud: "Boy, can you still outrun my golden zebra?"
"Driving" Xiang Bei began to rush with all his might, and soon the person behind him couldn't even see his horse's tail. And after Xiang Bei found that the man couldn't see, he turned directly into a small path and walked back.
Back at the fork in the road, Xiang Bei went in the opposite direction. He really didn't know where Shilitang was, but when he walked the road to the west, he didn't see any ponds or anything like that, so it must be going this way.
Not long after running, a large lotus pond appeared. Xiang Bei jumped down from his horse: "I'll go, what variety, can lotus flowers bloom in such a cold day?" ”
Xiang Beizheng was talking, and a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "The scenery here is beautiful, and girls like it the most." ”
Xiang Bei turned around and saw a man in a cloak, the cloak was the same as the one that Chu Jingtian had brought before.
Xiang Bei asked him, "Is it a blue-blooded person?"
The man said, "Sir doesn't need to care about this matter, Sir seems to have come a little late, didn't he leave immediately after receiving the news?" It was much worse than I expected, I wonder if Sir went to tell the princess what he said?"
Xiang Bei picked a lotus flower casually, smelled it and told him: "I got rid of a guy, I don't know who it is, but I followed me all the way, I dumped him, and I came late." We have to be careful, that person is definitely not a person who is pitied by Chu, which means that there are other forces targeting me. ”
"Oh, I see. The man in the cloak laughed, "You may have dumped our people, and he followed to protect you." ”
"I'm going, why are you so mysterious? Since it's your own person, wouldn't it be over if you go out of the city and join me directly? I don't know if I don't know the road, it's not on the map. I was so tired of that woman, I was too tired to be around her. I just want to go back to Tianlong now. But be clear, don't bother me with your arrangement. I also put a lot of money in Tianlong, and I still have to go back, and if I don't want to go back, I will be cut, so I can't expose it. ”
"Sir, don't worry, all you have to do is make an appointment with him here, and then use the excuse to lure the qi master around him five miles to the south. Leave the rest to us, and if you go back and be punished, the national teacher will intercede for you. Just rest assured. ”
"Why do you want to go five miles south?"
"You don't have to worry about that. ”
Xiang Bei looked at the large lotus flowers and nodded: "Okay, this place is indeed suitable for inviting women to come, you are very good at finding a place." Let her die in this beautiful scenery, it can be regarded as my right to start her, it is not in vain that the two of us get along, don't worry, tomorrow morning, it will be here. How many of you are there?"
"You don't have to worry about this, just do what you have to do. I took my leave. The man in the cloak was about to leave.
"Wait a while" Xiang Bei stopped him: "You tell me first, why do the lotus flowers here bloom in winter, and I can go back to describe it to her." ”
"This is a snow lotus, which is opened in winter. ”
"Then is this lotus flower delicious when fried in oil?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just gluttony. ”
"I don't know, no one cooks with lotus flowers. The man in the cloak felt that Xiang Bei was bored, so he ignored him and left.
Xiang Bei shouted again: "Who planted this, I want to pick it and no one will be fined, right?"
"The lotus pond here was built before the three dynasties, the snow lotus is purely ornamental, does not bear agricultural harvest, and the lotus root is small. Now it's a wild lotus even earlier, who cares. The man in the cloak didn't stop, and after saying that, he ran away.
