Chapter 35: The Ghostly
Outside the back door of the thirteen incense, inside a narrow alley.
Seven or eight people were in order, and they tried to control their breathing, and they approached Thirteen Incense little by little through the wind and snow.
Suddenly, behind them, several people appeared wrapped in white cloth.
Like ghosts, these people quietly appeared behind these seven or eight people, and the dagger in their hands swiped lightly.
Several people lost consciousness forever before they could perceive the breath of the person and feel the pain.
The man in white reached out to catch the fallen bodies of these people, and led them back quickly, and one of them glanced up at the person by the window upstairs.
There was awe and reverence in his eyes.
The specks of blood in the alleys, hidden by the new snow in the blink of an eye, disappeared into this world silently like their owners.
The curvature of the corners of Xuanyuan Ye's mouth has not changed from beginning to end, and the jade flute in his hand is dyed with a little snow, and he gently brushes it away.
The other two people in the room were unaware of the silent massacre outside.
Shen Baiyu came back with a pen and paper, and saw that Miss Guili, who had always been calm and self-controlled, seemed to be ...... Stunned?
Shangguan Li remembered that she had forgotten something.
Didn't Xuanyuan let her detoxify before the night?
It's been a few months, and not only has she forgotten about it, but Xuanyuan Ye herself hasn't mentioned it at all.
But she saw that Xuanyuan Ye was not alive and well now, and she didn't look like she was poisoned at all.
Is it really just an excuse, an excuse to say something of unknown meaning to her?
Shangguan Li's eyebrows and eyes were slightly entangled.
"Gui girl, Gui girl, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Baiyu's hand shook in front of Shangguan Li and asked worriedly.
Shangguan Li came back to his senses and shook his head.
"I'm fine."
Shangguan Li didn't want to say more, and took the pen and paper in Shen Baiyu's hand.
"Now I'll write you the two heavenly fragrance recipes I have in my hand."
"Two?"
Shen Baiyu was a little surprised, although she had guessed that Gui Li might have more than one kind of pine needle condensation on her body, but she didn't expect her to take out the formula so generously.
Shangguan Li wrote down that the recipe not only includes raw materials, proportions, but also refining techniques, temperature selection, auxiliary ingredients, etc.
Therefore, Shangguan Li wrote down two kinds of books, and wrote a full four or five pages.
The last word fell, Shangguan Li leisurely put away the pen and said lightly.
"Alright."
She handed the paper to Shen Baiyu, and Shen Baiyu hurriedly unfolded the page to look at it carefully, looking at it, the surprise and admiration on his face became stronger and stronger.
"I didn't expect this flavored spring tea to be used like this, what is this...... It turned out to be such a match, I guessed wrong...... Can you also add fruit? It's ingenious......"
When Shen Baiyu finally tore his eyes off the formula, he found that Miss Guili was no longer in front of him.
When I turned my head, it turned out that I was talking to Brother Xuanyuan.
Shangguan Li saw that Shen Baiyu might have to watch for a while, so he walked in front of Xuanyuan Ye.
He turned his head slowly, and his eyes reflected a whole picture of her.
"What, don't want to pretend?"
Shangguan Li didn't have the slightest embarrassment that his identity was revealed, and said lightly.
"I'm just afraid of trouble when I hide my identity, if you want to tell Shen Baiyu, it's up to you."
Xuanyuan Ye shook his head, his voice hoarse and smiling.
"This is my secret with the county lord, and the county lord wants me to keep it a secret, so I won't say it."
"Then I thank you."
"The county lord is out of sight."
This kind of tugging has no further benefits for both parties, but Xuanyuan Ye seems to be very happy.
"You ......"
"Miss Gui, I'm done."
Shen Baiyu's voice suddenly interjected, Shangguan Li had no choice but to give up the question behind him, but Xuanyuan Ye suddenly spoke when he turned his head.
"I've been disturbed for a long time today, and I just suddenly remembered that there was something else, so I left first."
Now I know that I bother, what did I do just now? Shangguan Li felt that this person really didn't play according to the routine.
Although Shen Baiyu was surprised, he didn't hold back much.
"Brother Xuanyuan walks slowly."
Xuanyuan nodded slightly, and then left the room.
Shangguan Li came to Shen Baiyu's side and pointed to the formula in his hand with his chin.
"How's it going, what's the problem?"
Shen Baiyu hurriedly shook his head and said.
"No, it's perfect."
As he spoke, he took out a wad of paper from his hand.
"These are the land deeds and official contracts of the thirteen incense, as well as some other industries of the thirteen incense in the capital, all here."
Shangguan Li nodded, took the things, and put them away directly.
"Won't Miss Gui check it out?"
"Since you said that there is a friendship between us, I guess we won't lie to our friends, right?"
Shen Baiyu's eyes lit up and he smiled.
"That's right."
Seeing that the business matter was negotiated, Shangguan Li added.
"As for the two people I'm talking about......"
"Don't worry." Shen Baiyu took over the conversation.
"If Miss Gui believes in Bai Yu, she only needs to tell me where those two are now, and Bai Yu will definitely be properly settled."
"It's for the best."
Shangguan Li's current goal is too conspicuous, and letting the people of Thirteen Incense do it is exactly what she wants.
She didn't hesitate, happily wrote down the address and name of the inn, and then explained to him how to win the trust of Huang Youning and the others.
After everything was in order, Shangguan Li was about to say goodbye and leave.
"Gui girl!"
Shangguan Li stopped and looked at Shen Baiyu, is there anything else that hasn't been discussed?
But she only saw Shen Baiyu open his mouth and didn't say anything.
"What's wrong?"
Shangguan Li turned around and asked.
"If anything happens just now, it's okay, I'll ......"
"No, it's not."
Shen Baiyu suddenly interrupted her, revealing a smile that couldn't tell whether it was comfort or bitterness.
"Forget it, girl, be careful on the road."
Shangguan Li looked at him strangely, he didn't understand what he had to do so much, but he said so, and it was inconvenient for him to ask more, so he said goodbye and turned around and left the private room.
Seeing Shangguan Li's figure disappear at the door of the private room, Shen Baiyu scratched his head in distress, but he just wanted to invite Miss Gui to have dinner together, how could he not say it?
Shangguan Li quickly left Thirteen Incense, it was getting late, and Feng Sichen was estimated to be coming back from the palace.
She also needs to make some preparations for her return to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible.
In the distance, Shangguan Li caught a glimpse of the gate surrounded by greenery in the Jingtang at a glance, and she did not rush home, but slowly stopped.
"General, are you a ghost?"
Such a ghost!
She looked at Xuanyuan Ye who was leaning against a fallen laurel tree on the side of the road.
Under the dim skylight and the silent snow, the man was covered with a kind of dusty temperament that was independent of the world.
But Shangguan Li knew that this was an illusion.
