Chapter 6 The Third Prince of Bai
Li Fenglan and the three of them have been in Nantun Town for three days, and during these three days, they either went shopping to buy rouge gouache and other gadgets, or listened to Li Changnian talk about his experience in the rivers and lakes at the dart bureau. Eating and drinking without worry, everyone felt the beauty of the world outside the valley.
But after all, I still have to go, after all, there is a task on my body. Li Changnian kept it again and again, but he was also a sensible person, even if he liked these girls, he couldn't let them stay in Nantun Town for a lifetime.
On the fourth day, the three of them bid farewell to Li Changnian and others and set off for Luoyang City. Before leaving, I only brought a box of newspapers and a few changes of clothes, and those precious jewelry, rouge and gouache were basically left in the Cangfeng Dart Bureau.
The carriage slowly drove out of Nantun Town, and there were many people on the official road, but Jade noticed that there were always some people looking at them in the bright and dark places.
Li Fenglan naturally knew that she was being watched, so she lifted the curtain and said to Jade with a smile: "Jade, why don't you make a hat and bring it?" ”
"Why?"
"You're so pretty, passers-by are looking at you, I can't tell who's spying on us."
Jade said angrily: "If I knew that if we brought Fu Xiaohu with us, we wouldn't be paid attention to by so many people." ”
Li Fenglan said with a smile: "Actually, Aunt Zhou has already thought of it for us. ”
"What comes to mind?"
Li Fenglan handed out a towel and said, "Na, Aunt Zhou handed it to me, saying that if you have to show your face, put this on." Aunt Zhou said that she wore it when she broke into the rivers and lakes, and I heard Lao Mo say that Aunt Zhou was too beautiful back then, and she played tricks with people, and if it was a man on the other side, she would definitely release water because of her beauty. So Aunt Zhou put on a veil. ”
Jade took the veil and put it on her face without saying a word, and sure enough, the eyes around her ...... It has not decreased, the face is blocked, and the cold air temperament cannot be stopped.
Amber asked Li Fenglan: "Aunt Zhou was really a big beauty when she was young?" ”
"That's right," Li Fenglan replied, "I remember that when I was a child, I thought Aunt Zhou was very good-looking." ”
Amber thought for a moment and asked, "Why is Aunt Zhou ...... now" She actually wanted to say that she had become ugly, but because she hadn't eaten and her brain was still there, she didn't continue.
Jade said indignantly: "If you hadn't always made my mother angry when you were a child, would my mother have become like this?" ”
This was said by Li Fenglan, Li Fenglan stuck out her tongue and did not quibble. Among the new generation of children in Chaolan Valley, Li Fenglan is the most naughty. Of course, it wasn't that Li Fenglan was too naughty to turn Chen Tong into a yellow-faced woman, mainly because in the past eighteen years, everyone in the valley has cultivated for a living. Chen Tong has to work in the field every day, take care of the three of them, and take care of housework, so he naturally ages quickly. Li Yuxun is the same age as Chen Tong, he married a good man, and he has never touched the spring water with his fingers all his life, and now he still looks like he is in his early thirties.
When it came to Chen Tong, the three of them were a little sentimental. Growing so big, going out for the first time, I really miss it for three days.
In the middle of sentimentality, Amber whispered to Li Fenglan: "Miss, there are three people in the tea shed over there. ”
The official road is full of people, and it is not surprising that there are three people in the small tea shed next to the road. But Amber felt strange, she felt that the three of them were looking at them wrongly. Not like some doersy cowering, not like casual glances, but with a little hostility.
Li Fenglan had already noticed the three people, and whispered to Jade, "Jade, let's go to the tea shed to rest." ”
Jade heard the carriage beside the tea shed, asked for a pot of tea, bought a bucket of water to drink the horse, and deliberately sat on the seat next to the person.
Those three people were all dressed in strong clothes, and they looked like people in the martial arts, and they were no more than thirty years old.
After the tea came up, Li Fenglan dipped the water and wrote a few words on the table, and after reading it, Jade was relieved. Turned his face and stared at the three martial arts people, his eyes were cold, which made the three of them feel a chill, exposed?
Emerald lowered her voice and said, "Don't move. ”
Jade threatened others for the first time, although her eyes were in place, her tone was not in place, and it was obvious that she did not scare the three people.
The three of them also felt that it was not interesting to pretend any longer, and one of them replied: "Girl, the tone is not small, if I move, what if I move?" ”
Li Fenglan turned her back to them, took a sip of tea, and said, "Give it a try." ”
As soon as the words fell, one of them had already taken out the dagger in his arms and stabbed it at Li Fenglan's back heart, but before the dagger touched Li Fenglan, the tip of the knife had been pinched by jade. The man tried to withdraw the knife, but found that it seemed to be stuck in a boulder, and he couldn't pull it out.
The three of them felt threatened at this time, thinking that they were three fledgling little girls, who knew that the idea was so stabbing.
One of them shouted softly: "Withdraw!" ”
The three of them stood up and turned around and ran, and the dagger was gone. But as soon as they turned around, they found that the woman in white was already standing in front of them.
Cold sweat flowed down, they had never seen such light work. Fortunately, it was daytime, and if it was night, I was afraid that I didn't think I had seen a ghost.
At this time, the passers-by and the tea shack guys on the official road all noticed something unusual, and they all felt that their eyes were sparkling just now, and the beautiful woman in white had changed her position. Some people stopped to watch, and there were more people by the tea shed.
Li Fenglan smiled contemptuously: "It's just a little minion." Forget it, let's go. ”
After speaking, he walked to his seat, threw down a few copper plates, and the three of them got back into the carriage and drove towards Luoyang City. Only the three martial arts people were left stunned in place.
In the carriage, Amber asked, "Miss, let's just leave?" ”
Li Fenglan replied: "Of course you have to go, you can't kill them." ”
"Why don't you kill it?"
"At the end of the point, just tell them that we are not easy to mess with, and we can't tear our faces just yet."
Li Fenglan's plan is very simple, there are three points. One, when they see one and kill another, they don't want to rush to Luoyang today, and they won't be able to arrive at this time next year. Second, show one hand, Jade's two-finger dagger, and use a little trick by himself, which can be regarded as shocking those assassins who are about to move. Three, how to kill? Emerald and Amber are good at kung fu, but they haven't fought anyone with real swords. Jade is okay, she is a good hand at killing chickens and geese in the valley, even if the amber is forgotten, she doesn't dare to look at the dead mouse. As for herself, except for light skills and two sets of simple internal skills, she doesn't know any other moves.
Before she came, Li Changnian told her that the rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, because killing people is a difficult thing. It's terrible to watch a living life die at your own hands. Li Changnian has seen many people who quit the rivers and lakes after killing people for the first time, and they will never touch sharp weapons again in their lives, and some will even commit suicide not long after.
Emerald and Amber are protective of themselves, and if possible, she hopes that her two sisters will never have blood on their hands for the rest of their lives.
The carriage walked slowly for a day, and finally advanced to Luoyang City at night.
Luoyang is worthy of being a metropolis, and when the lights are in hand, there are still people on the road.
Jade asked Li Fenglan while driving the carriage: "Hey, where are we spending the night tonight?" Going to the Bai family at this time, isn't it right? ”
Li Fenglan didn't answer, but muttered to herself.
"Hundred Flowers Building...... Baihualou ...... Yes! See! ”
Li Fenglan excitedly pointed to a tall building, jade and amber looked along her fingers, only to see that the tall building was brightly lit, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going at the gate. Some well-dressed women waved handkerchiefs at passers-by, all with and shy smiles on their faces.
Rao is jade amber is ignorant of the world, and he can also see that this place is the green building.
Jade glanced at Li Fenglan, who was lying on her shoulder, and said, "You are a girl, what are you doing with this?" ”
"Someone is waiting for me here." Li Fenglan's tone was a little excited.
She has been reading books for the past few days, and has read all those powerful characters in the rivers and lakes. There was one person who aroused her interest, the third son of the Bai family in Luoyang, Bai Shuyu. The texts that refer to him always portray him as a man of God who is an unknown prophet. Said that he knows everything in the rivers and lakes, and is extremely intelligent, debauched, lingering in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion every night, the most frequented Qinglou is Luoyang Baihualou, and said that he has a bad relationship with a woman here.
On the corridor facing the street on the second floor of Baihua Building, the handsome scholar with a paper fan and a towel had a sad face, patted the railing hard, and said sadly: "Dear mother, you are here." ”
A woman's voice came from the room behind him: "Bai San Gongzi, you have been saying that the fairy is coming for the past three days, and this time the fairy is really coming?" ”
Bai Shuyu held his forehead and said, "How did I know that they were so grinding, and they walked for three days in a day." ”
As soon as Li Fenglan looked up downstairs, she saw the handsome scholar, grinned, and said in her heart: It must be him!
Tapping the carriage on tiptoe, Li Fenglan's body floated up in an instant, and in a breath, the person was already standing on the railing on the second floor, condescending, overlooking Bai Shuyu.
"Miss!" Amber shouted at Li Fenglan and jumped up as well.
Jade looked helpless, this is a green building, what does it look like...... And he didn't even wear shoes. There was no way, so she had to get out of the carriage. As soon as I came down, I saw a small guy at the door of the Qinglou greet him with a smile on his face. Just now, Li Fenglan and Amber flew up to the second floor of Baihua Building one after the other, and many people saw it, including the old bustard.
The old bustard of Baihualou is also a person who has seen the world, I thought that there would be distinguished guests at the door of the carriage parking, and as soon as he arranged for the little maid to pick up the car, he saw a very beautiful woman in the carriage poking out her head and pointing to the second floor. The heart said: Bao Buqi is the man who came to Baihualou to catch herself looking for flowers and willows, and it is estimated that many tables, chairs and benches will be smashed tonight.
Although she thought so, the bustard was not panicked, she had seen a lot of such things.
But the expected conflict did not happen, and the girl in Tsing Yi, who was driving the car, said to the little girl: "Park our carriage." Then he jumped up to the second floor.
When Jade jumped up, Li Fenglan was staring at the beautiful scholar.
The scholar smiled slightly and shouted, "Someone!" Look! ”
After a while, someone brought a chair and placed it directly opposite the scholar. The scholar pointed to the chair and said, "Miss Li, don't stand, sit." ”
Li Fenglan jumped on the chair and sat down, Jade and Amber guarding her left and right.
Li Fenglan smiled and said, "Let Bai Sangongzi wait for a long time." ”
Bai Shuyu was a little surprised: "Changfeng Lou is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I thought that Miss Li would be a young lady, it seems that Xiaosheng was wrong." ”
Li Fenglan gently tapped the railing with her fingers and asked, "Third Prince, are we polite, or do we go straight to the point?" ”
"I've prepared a bunch of polite words, it seems that Miss Li doesn't want to hear them."
"Your Bai family ......"
"Stop!" Bai Shuyu said, "I don't belong to my family in this matter, our family is now my eldest sister's decision." ”
"Then why did the third prince Bai wait here for three days?"
"Naturally, it's about seeing beautiful women...... I was lucky enough to meet three beautiful women. ”
Li Changnian taught her not to expose her purpose too early. But in front of this third white prince, there is no point in hiding it.
Li Fenglan asked: "I've seen it, and then what?" ”
Bai Shuyu closed the folding fan and knocked lightly on the door behind him, and after a while, he heard footsteps from the house. A crack opened in the door, and a slender jade hand stretched out, and the jade hand was still holding an object. Bai Shuyu took the thing, tossed it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaosheng wants to make a deal with the girl." ”
Li Fenglan saw Bai Shuyu holding a square wooden box in his hand, and he didn't know what objects were inside.
Li Fenglan asked, "What deal?" ”
Bai Shuyu replied: "My trading goods, naturally the objects in my hands, I don't know what Miss Li wants to exchange?" ”
Li Fenglan smiled and said, "It seems that the third prince doesn't know what he wants?" I have something to trade, but I still want to see the goods of the third prince first. ”
Bai Shuyu didn't talk nonsense and opened the wooden box.
With the help of the light, Li Fenglan took a closer look at the objects inside, which was half a roll of parchment.
Li Fenglan asked, "What is this?" ”
"A map of the Li family's underground palace."
"Yangzhou Li family?"
"Yes. The Bai family, the Shangguan family, the Li family, and the three of us are in the intelligence business. The library building of the Shangguan family and the gold-roofed pagoda of the Bai family are all used to store the secrets of the rivers and lakes collected by the family. Of course, eighteen years ago, the people of Jianghu didn't know that the secret location of my Bai family was the White Pagoda outside the city...... As for the Li family, now only our Bai family knows where the Li family's secret place is. ”
"Somewhere in the dungeon?"
"Yes. Back then, a mysterious person handed us this half of the dungeon map, which wrote the location of the dungeon, but did not mark the entrance. Our Bai family has also sent people to secretly search over the years, but we have never been able to find the entrance. It seems that if you want to find the entrance, you have to find the first half of the volume. ”
"Third son, your object is too valuable, and the little woman doesn't have a corresponding object here."
Bai Shuyu shook his head and said, "It's okay, anything goes." I can bargain with you for this deal. ”
Li Fenglan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll exchange a secret from Changfeng Tower with Gongzi." ”
"Shuyu." A man's voice came from the top of the stairs, and a short time later, a man in a black robe embroidered with gold thread approached. The eyebrows and eyes of men are slightly different from those of Han Chinese, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge. It should be the descendants of the Han people and Hu Sheng.
Bai Shuyu smiled at the man: "Second brother, why are you here?" ”
The man ignored Bai Shuyu, but sneered at Li Fenglan and them, and said respectfully: "Three girls, under Bai Zhonglian." This half of the map was originally a gift from the Bai family to the girl, and the younger brother was greedy for fun, so he made a joke with the girl, and hoped that the girl Haihan. ”
Li Fenglan stood up and responded: "The second son is polite, this thing is indeed valuable, and it should be exchanged for something." ”
Bai Zhonglian said: "The Bai family has arranged a place for the three girls, if you don't dislike it, you can stay in the cold house for a few days, and hope that the girls will enjoy it." ”
Li Fenglan said with a big grin: "It's okay, then we'll bother for a few days." ”
