Chapter 161: So Fast?
Xuanyuan was silent for a short time, and before he could speak, his eyes moved first, and the snowflakes fell and floated into the river water dyed with light.
"What does the county lord want to do with the help of the Blue Fox Gang?"
The streets are noisy, and you can't hear anyone if you don't get close.
But his voice accurately reached Shangguan Li's ears, this is probably some kind of magical martial arts.
Shangguan Li was silent for a moment.
"I thought we had reached a consensus on this matter and didn't ask each other questions."
"No, I remember I just turned down that request this morning."
"That's your problem."
Shangguan Li didn't have the power that Xuanyuan Ye had cultivated for many years, but fortunately, she was only trying to find the specific location of Anning Town and the most basic information related to it.
Therefore, although the Green Fox Gang has no strength, it has been in Linyang for so long, and it can be regarded as a local snake, so it should not be difficult to do this.
As for why she came to Linyang to find it, she took the initiative to check it when she was still in the capital, but she didn't know if it was because she had too few books and materials to access, or because the place in Anning Town itself was very mysterious.
She flipped through a lot of county chronicles, and only saw the name of Anning Town in a book of chronicles, although there was a suspicion of fiction, but the book also mentioned real place names such as Linyang and Fengzhi.
In the absence of other information, the identity base camp arranged by Shen Baiyu for them happened to be in Linyang, so she thought about coming here first.
Coincidentally, Xuanyuan Ye is also coming here, although this coincidence may have to be put in quotation marks.
The old man unexpectedly said that he would be able to get the news out tonight, and asked her to wait nearby for a while.
That's why she has the time and mood to stand on this bridge and look at the scenery.
But these are her thoughts, as for Xuanyuan Night, she doesn't have a clue so far. In this case, how could she tell him her purpose.
"Alas, it seems that the county lord does not believe me."
Xuanyuan Ye's tone was rather regretful.
"Each other, each other."
Shangguan Li replied nonchalantly.
"I'm not talking about it."
He turned his head, his eyes still half-drooping, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
"I'm talking about what I said to the county lord on the roof of the inn outside the capital."
Shangguan Li was stunned for a moment, even if the two of them actually talked a lot about it that night, and they seemed to have said something serious, but at this moment, Xuanyuan Ye mentioned it, and that sentence suddenly appeared in her mind.
"If you want to know, just ask me, and I'll tell you."
Shangguan Li must have had a shock in her eyes that she couldn't hide, because she saw Xuanyuan Ye blinking, as if she was being pleased, and laughed very wantonly.
"Remembered?"
"Are you serious?"
Shangguan Li still couldn't believe it, to be honest in that situation at that time, anyone who came would only think he was joking, and then again, he was not the kind of person who would easily trust others.
So she heard this sentence, laughed and forgot about it.
"Seriously."
Xuanyuan smiled and looked a little serious.
Just when Shangguan Li was about to taste something unusual from it, he suddenly smiled.
"But if I don't know, or can't say it for the time being, then there's no way."
"Then what are you doing in Jiangnan?"
Shangguan Li was not polite, and asked this question directly, she is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, but Xuanyuan Ye is a person who wants to bend into twists.
So in the face of her bluntness, Xuanyuan was silent.
Just when she thought that the question was within the scope of "can't be said for the time being", he suddenly whispered.
"It's the same as the county lord's purpose."
Shangguan Li's eyes widened slightly, the strange thing was that she was not too surprised by the content of this sentence itself, she was shocked that Xuanyuan Ye actually told her?
"Uh, two adults?"
A weak voice suddenly interjected, which immediately made Shangguan Li wake up.
She looked sideways and saw that it was the little girl.
The little girl changed her clothes, looked a little trembling, and the first thing she said was.
"I've been standing here for a while, and you don't seem to be talking, so I ......."
Shangguan Li nodded and didn't let her continue. I knew that this little girl was coming, but because she had just stood far away, I thought she had come to watch over them for the old man.
But now that I saw her talking, I guess there was news.
Sure enough, the little girl took out a small box from under the thick scarf.
"This is what the two adults wanted, and Grandpa said that if the adults have other needs, they can go to the pawnshop south of the fourth bridge to find us."
After Shangguan Li took the box, the little girl was very scared, turned around and ran into the crowd.
"It's a bit fast."
The box was small enough she could hold it with one hand.
"There are two possibilities, there are people in or near Anning Town in the Green Fox Gang, or someone has already inquired about the same thing before you."
Xuanyuan Ye took over very naturally.
Shangguan Li glanced at him and said with a smile.
"I remember that I drove you away when I made a request to that old man, how do you know that I am investigating the affairs of Anning Town?"
"I eavesdropped."
Xuanyuan Ye replied confidently.
"And as I said, I have the same destination as the county lord, so I can guess just by guessing."
When he said this, he looked directly into Shangguan Li's eyes, and there was not a trace of wavering and emotion in those dark eyes, as if it was just a cold obsidian staring at her.
Shangguan Li looked at him for a long time, and then let out an "oh".
"Do you want to share information with me?"
As she spoke, she looked away and leaned her back against the bridge, as if she could never stand up straight, in a posture that looked extremely dashing.
Xuanyuan was stunned for a while, and the cold obsidian under his eyes cracked a fine line, revealing the temptation and surprise hidden deep underneath.
After a while, he put away all his emotions, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The county lord has said so, so let's do it."
"Deal."
Shangguan Li smiled.
The information in her hands is definitely not as much as Xuanyuan Ye's, since the two have the same purpose, then this transaction must be profitable for her.
"Let's go, if you don't go back, the meal will probably be eaten by Xitu."
Xuanyuan Ye silently followed her, and after walking a distance, he suddenly whispered.
"I remember that the rule of Baifu is that the master can't cook when he's not at home."
Shangguan Li: "......"
A certain person who was drooling wildly over a table of dishes, but couldn't move a single chopstick under the pressure of the housekeeper, was scolding frantically in his heart at the moment.
