"Things have changed...... Although I want to say so. ”

Xuanyuan Ye suddenly let out a low chuckle, his voice as clear as fresh snow.

"But doesn't the county lord have other things to do?"

Shangguan Li was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned cold a little.

"What do you mean?"

Facing her unkind eyes, Xuanyuan Ye's tone did not waver in the slightest, and his fingers slowly buckled on the low table, chuckling.

"After the Taichen Courtyard is closed, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, and tomorrow happens to be the time to open, doesn't the county lord want to go and see it?"

“……”

Shangguan Li was speechless for a while, of course she knew.

After receiving the letter from Tuanzi and Wen Sanliang, she went to inquire, but when Xuanyuan suddenly hinted at it, she thought that she was being watched by him.

But is there really no one with Xuanyuan Night around him?

Although she didn't notice anything unusual, she still had a gut feeling occasionally that Xuanyuan Ye knew too well about her movements.

"Brother Xuanyuan wants to take the county lord with him when he goes to Jiangnan?"

Shen Baiyu, who had been stunned for a long time, finally reacted and was extremely shocked.

Xuanyuan Ye didn't speak, but instead set his eyes on Shangguan Li.

See what I do? Could it be that I begged to go with you?

Shangguan Li's belly scolded, but she didn't know how much Shen Baiyu knew about this matter, so she still nodded thoughtfully.

"Hmm."

At this time, Shen Baiyu's eyes suddenly became even more strange.

Shangguan Li was a little confused, could it be that there was some conspiracy she didn't know about this trip?

Shen Baiyu probably saw her doubts, and turned her head to ask Xuanyuan Ye again.

"Brother Xuanyuan, the identity you asked me to prepare, yes, is it with the county lord?"

"Who else is it?"

Xuanyuan Ye asked rhetorically, and his tone was reasonable.

Shangguan Li keenly grasped the key words in Shen Baiyu's words, put his arm on the low table, and said leisurely.

"Identity? What identity. ”

Shen Baiyu's body stiffened, and his eyes looked at her a little uncomfortable.

Still Xuanyuan Ye opened his mouth lightly.

"In order to facilitate action, I asked Brother Shen to create the identity of a local husband and wife in the chamber of commerce in the capital of Jiangnan."

After he said it, Shangguan Li was not so surprised.

Isn't it just husband and wife? She hadn't done anything before when she was on a disguise mission, and that wasn't enough to make her feel uncomfortable, she cared about something else.

"What actions require disguising one's identity?"

Qing Qing's cold gaze fell on her face, and the smile in Xuanyuan Ye's voice had not disappeared.

"The county lord and others are really different."

Goosebumps on his arm that he looked up to, Shangguan Li frowned impatiently, but fortunately, before she had a seizure, Xuanyuan Ye had already withdrawn his gaze and said slowly.

"There are some rats that are very good at hiding, and I am afraid that they will not be able to catch them without some necessary disguise."

"What does that have to do with me?"

If it's to clear the road for himself, why do he have to take her with him, is he short of free thugs?

"Hmm...... Bringing the lord of the county with you will be pleasing to the eye? ”

Shangguan Li looked at him coldly.

"Poof, okay."

Xuanyuan Ye finally put away his teasing tone.

"The county lord will use poison, and he will also detoxify. This reason is sufficient. ”

In other words, the other party may also be a master in this area?

can make Xuanyuan bother all night, and people who can also use poison.

I don't know why, she suddenly remembered the mysterious "master".

The place where Xuanyuan went at night wouldn't be Anning Town, right?

"Wait!"

A voice suddenly interrupted Shangguan Li's contemplation, she looked up, Shen Baiyu had stood up for some reason, and Shangguan Li couldn't see his expression clearly when he looked up.

"That's how the county lord accepts this identity?"

Shangguan Li didn't know what the disbelief in Shen Baiyu's words was about, she thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional in acting!"

"Poof."

Xuanyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Shen Baiyu met Shangguan Li's clear eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"What's wrong?"

“…… It's nothing. ”

Shen Baiyu sat down a little dejected, but there was still an expression on his face that wanted to say something.

It can be seen that Shangguan Li is confused.

So I didn't care about him for the time being, but said to Xuanyuan.

"Got it, what about the departure time?"

"Tonight."

“…… Reason. ”

Taichenyuan is not far from the city, wouldn't it be better to go early tomorrow morning?

Xuanyuan Ye took out a letter from his sleeve with a black-shaded rose.

As soon as he saw this envelope, Shen Baiyu couldn't help sulking anymore, and his eyes widened.

"Is this the time?"

Xuanyuan nodded slightly.

"Tonight."

"Wait, what is this?"

Shangguan Li had no idea what these two people were talking about.

"Collecting firewood."

Xuanyuan Ye's tone did not change, but Shangguan Li felt that when he read these three words, there was a bone-deep chill in his voice that he had never had before.

The chill is fleeting. A smile that had not fallen for thousands of years reoccupied his voice.

"Brother Shen, it's up to you to take care of the rest."

Shen Baiyu was originally a little hesitant, but when he heard Xuanyuan Ye say this, he was looked at by Shangguan Li again, so he had to speak a little helplessly.

"The county lord may not know that the business travels in the world and does business on the surface. But there are some goods and treasures that the imperial court is not allowed to do, so there is a black market. ”

Shangguan Li nodded, this is normal, and the black market in her world is also huge.

Seeing that she understood, Shen Baiyu continued.

"The black market is scattered all over the world, but every three years, many black market merchants gather in one place to put up the treasures that are too precious to sell for auction, which is called a firewood gathering meeting."

Collecting firewood? The name is simple enough.

Shen Baiyu also smiled.

"Because people in the black market are doing shady businesses, everyone thinks that cheap names are better to survive, so they have such a name."

"yes, I understand."

Shangguan Li pinched his chin and asked again.

"What exactly will be sold at the firewood gathering meeting?"

"Gold, silver, jewelry, exotic flowers and plants."

It was Xuanyuan Ye who answered.

“…… Treasure maps, intelligence, slaves, whatever you want, you can get them there. ”

Shangguan Li glanced at Xuanyuan Ye and raised his eyebrows.

"That means there will be a lot of big shots?"

Things are so precious, naturally there will be higher requirements for those who go in.

"The county lord is right."

Shen Baiyu took over the conversation.

"At every firewood gathering, only those who received this invitation were allowed to enter. Alas, I should have been able to participate, but unfortunately ......"

"How?"

Shangguan Li asked casually.

Shen Baiyu said with a bitter face.

"Invitations are usually sent out half a year in advance, and my one is in Suzhou, so I'm afraid it's too late for someone to send it now."
