Chapter 185: Cinnabar
Since he didn't know if Mu Zi was left in Shuangye Village now, Li Fenglan took the two of them to the secret hideout he had built first.
This hideout in Jiujiang is far away from Futaba Village, and the three of them have been on the road for more than an hour.
The name of this place is Hewu Town, the name is not well known, and the same as Shuangye Town, it is also a bowl of rice that eats water transportation, and the merchants who come and go are all over the world. The crowd was mixed and no one paid attention to them.
This hiding place is also the most normal, hidden in the middle of the market, a very small house.
After the three of them entered the mansion, Li Fenglan sat on the steps in front of the hall and said, "Okay, it's safe here...... Sister Tang, tell me about you."
Tang Bailing told Li Fenglan about his past in Yeyu Xiaozhu, and Li Fenglan listened with relish.
After a while, when the story was finished, Tang Bailing said, "That's it."
Li Fenglan nodded: "I believe in you."
Tang Bailing asked, "Miss Li is a thoughtful person, just after listening to me, she believes it?"
Li Fenglan replied, "When you met Mu Zi, you deliberately broke away from the fat man. If you want to save your life at that time, leaving the fat man with you is the best option. You are different from Mu Zi, you can distinguish between good and bad, so I believe you."
"Thank you."
"That...... Does Sister Tang have any plans right now?"
Tang Bailing shook his head: "No, I originally planned to leave Yeyu Xiaozhu after saving enough money over the years and live in peace and stability, but now, these have become extravagant hopes."
"It's better to stay by my side," Li Fenglan smiled slyly, "It just so happens that I'm short of manpower right now, and I just want to deal with Yeyu Xiaozhu, how about it?" Do you want to think about it?"
Tang Bailing said: "Even if Miss Li doesn't mention it, I plan to do so, I have deceived you for so long, you ignore the past suspicions, save my life, I should repay this kindness."
"I'm the most afraid of others talking about kindness, I can trust you, and I'm willing you to help me, that's all...... Let's not be polite, Sister Tang, that human skin mask ......
Before he finished speaking, Tang Bailing asked, "Miss Li wants to change her identity?"
"It's easy to talk to smart people, yes."
"Okay, I'll prepare."
Tan Wushuang had been listening to it until he heard this, and he couldn't help it: "Wait a minute, Lan'er, you haven't said what you are doing in Jiujiang."
Li Fenglan raised her eyebrows: "Of course it's business, I have something to investigate...... Now, of course, it's two things."
"And what are you going to do? What do you need us to do?"
Li Fenglan smiled mysteriously and asked rhetorically, "Fatty, what do you think of being a water bandit?"
Tan Wushuang hurriedly shook his head: "No, Xiaohu and I accepted a group of mountain bandits, Xiaohu was almost killed by Aunt Zhou, so I don't want to be a water bandit."
"It's not really a water bandit, don't worry, with me in your pocket, Aunt Zhou won't do anything to us."
"You still have the face to say, you are carrying it? When I was a child, Aunt Zhou beat you up so badly."
Tang Bailing stopped the two of them from bickering and asked, "Miss Li, what do you need us to do in your plan?"
"Hehe, just two points, one, keep me safe. Two, pretend to be my follower."
Tan Wushuang was unhappy: "Li Fenglan, you are addicted to being the eldest lady, right?"
…
Seductive, insidious, not a serious woman.
This is the feeling that Li Fenglan's face gives people at present, of course, it is the face that Tang Bailing prepared for her.
Li Fenglan looked at the mirror, nodded, and shook her head again: "Can this corner of the eye go down a little?" This face is good-looking, how does it look like a vixen."
Tan Wushuang was angry: "It's changed three times this afternoon, it's almost okay, didn't you say you want to be charming?" Isn't it just right to make others not feel like a serious woman at first sight? Why are you asking so much?"
Li Fenglan thought thoughtfully: "I do have a feeling of being a fox, but it's a little too much, I'll go out with this face, don't."
People think I'm not a good person at a glance, how else can I deceive people? No, how else can I carry out my plan? …… Let's change it back to the first version."
Tang Bailing smiled helplessly: "Miss Li, I used to do it according to real people, but now you let me think of one out of thin air, this is the best I can do."
Li Fenglan waved her hand: "Forget it, it's not that you can't use it...... Sister Tang, how long can you wear this face at a time?"
"Look at the weather, the weather in Jiujiang is very good now, it's not humid, it's not too hot, and it can be worn for three or five days at a time. But it's best to pick it once a day, otherwise it's not good for your skin."
"Can I still use it if I take it off?"
"Yes, it won't be a problem to maintain it for a year or two. Remember, don't get wet."
"That's good, I won't be able to do it long anyway...... By the way, you can't call my name anymore."
Tan Wushuang asked, "Then what are you going to call it?"
Li Fenglan replied with a smile, "Cinnabar, you will call me Miss Cinnabar in the future."
Tan Wushuang muttered, "Pig killing, you still kill pigs."
"Tan Wushuang! You can die without saying a word!? Finished...... I'm all about killing pigs now, and I've got to get another one."
Tan Wushuang was helpless: "Don't change it, just this one." Emerald, amber, cinnabar, it's good."
In fact, Li Fenglan has been dissatisfied with her name since she was a child, and the two good sisters, both of whom are named after Jinshi and Jade, called themselves "Li Fenglan", and when she was a child, she didn't know why she was surnamed Li. When she grew up, she found that she was actually surnamed Shangguan, but she was called "Li Fenglan" for so many years, and suddenly changed it to "Shangguan Fenglan", and even she couldn't accept it.
The name Cinnabar has been hidden in her heart for a long time, and today her wish has finally come true, and she is on par with Jade Amber.
As night approached, Li Fenglan sent Tan Wushuang to the town to buy some necessities.
"You're saying that Naka is the one-eyed dragon's daughter-in-law?"
Tang Bailing nodded: "Yes, of course, she is not called Naka now, she is called Chu Rong, and she is also a hard worker."
"I inquired before, there is a conflict between the water bandits in Shuangye Village and the water bandits in Jiulian Village, and I want to insert a kick in the middle and let them fight, so that they can fish in the water."
"And then?"
"Then, give advice to the weaker side and get a place for yourself."
"And then rely on this identity to achieve your own goals?"
"Almost."
"Well...... It's a bit whimsical."
"With your help, the odds of success are greater."
The two of them sat in the courtyard, chatting with each other.
Although Tang Bailing had known Li Fenglan a few years ago, there was no contact between the two, and Li Fenglan had been guarding her before, but now that her identity had changed back, both of them were a little embarrassed.
After being embarrassed for a while, Tang Bailing suddenly said, "Miss Li, actually...... There is a feud between us."
Li Fenglan was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Tang Bailing replied, "My father's name is Tang Ju."
"I haven't heard of it."
"Of course you haven't heard of it, you weren't born when he died...... He died in the turmoil nineteen years ago, and I found out later when I had a certain status in Xiaozhu. At that time, there was a dart game under the Li family in Yangzhou, called Huwei Dart Bureau. My father and a certain leader were in charge of encircling and suppressing the Huwei Dart Bureau and forcing Li ...... Your mother's whereabouts. And then he died inside."
Tang Bailing smiled: "Miss Li doesn't have to guard against me, it's an old thing, when you are a killer, your head is pinned to the belt of your trousers, there will always be a day when you die, as for whose hands will you die...... It's all the same. Although he is not my own father, he has nurtured me, and I pay tribute to him every year. I was only four years old the year he died, and I have some dim memories. He taught me a lot of things, but I just remembered one thing."
"Which one?"
"Forget it."
"Huh?"
"It's just, 'Forget it, life
Death is life and wealth is in heaven, if you can't get it, it's good to give up, everything is the same."
"But you obviously forgot this sentence, according to what your father said, in the face of Mu Zi, you should be killed."
Tang Bailing smiled and nodded: "The matter of life and death still has to be fought for."
Li Fenglan stretched her waist, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said, "Actually, I don't have any feelings for the Li family and the Shangguan family. Last year in Yaoxian Valley, I met my mother-in-law, she hated those Jianghu people to the bone marrow, but I couldn't empathize. I have lived well in Chaolan Valley over the years, my uncles and aunts have treated me very well, and Lao Mo and Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou have treated me like a daughter...... To be honest, I don't lack family affection, and suddenly told me that he wanted me to avenge my relatives who I had never met...... I don't have that kind of mind."
"Miss Lee......"
"Call me cinnabar, I'll get used to it."
"Okay, Cinnabar, if I'm not mistaken, did you come to Jiujiang this time to hide it from everyone?"
Li Fenglan replied, "That's right."
"Why?"
"Upset...... I want to go out and walk alone."
"What happened to you in Chang'an?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me?"
The dark clouds came out, obscuring the full moon, and the moonlight was hazy.
Li Fenglan replied, "There's a short-lived ghost gone."
