Chapter 217: Drunken Fragrance Building
The business of Zuixianglou is very good, although the boss has changed, and the people who run the hall are also re-recruited, but the wine and food are still the original taste, plus the new boss opening reward, the consumption is cheaper than before, so there are more people than before these days.
"This restaurant didn't cost much money when I bought it, and I can make a lot of money every year, and it just so happens that the Bai family also needs a stronghold here. Everyone is ready-made, and it would be good to be the shopkeeper, and I didn't make money by pointing at it anyway."
Jade leaned on the window lattice of the private room on the second floor, and told Li Fenglan the ins and outs of this restaurant.
"Yes, you," Li Fenglan teased, "I never liked to care about these things before, but since I became the young grandmother of the quasi-Bai family, I have been very concerned about this kind of thing."
Jade rolled her eyes at her: "You have to use the information here in the future, accumulate some virtue in your mouth, don't be like who owes you every day."
Li Fenglan held her cheeks and stared blankly at the night view of Xizhushan Town outside the restaurant.
Jade said: "This mountain town is the most prosperous place of this generation, with restaurants, brothels, gambling houses, and people of all religions, which is the most convenient way to collect information."
"Yes."
"There was basically no Nightfeather Take's power in this area before, but since you came here, Nightfeather Tsuki's spies have started to operate here."
"Yes."
"Are you listening to me?"
"I'm listening."
"Li Fenglan, you're running away, right?"
Li Fenglan turned her head to look at Jade and asked, "What am I running away from?"
"It's hard for you to meet Xu Zhenbiao, and the killers of Night Feather Xiaozhu are not just to protect him, they can kill him when necessary, in order to prevent you from coming into contact with him. You may not get anything when you come to Jiujiang this time, you know this very well."
"That's right."
"And you're going to come this way? Coming alone, isn't it an escape?"
Li Fenglan turned her head again and didn't speak.
Jade sighed: "If it is interrupted, it will be disturbed."
"You haven't been with Bai Shuyu for long, how did you learn all his ruthlessness?"
Jade frowned, "He's ruthless?"
Li Fenglan laughed lightly: "Can't you see it? You have more bad intentions than you think."
"Don't speculate on people."
"You are a food ......" Li Fenglan looked at Jade's eyes, "Jade, I'm not angry with you. The Bai family has something to hide from me."
"What are they hiding from you?"
"For the Bai family, his biggest enemy is not Ye Yu Xiaozhu, nor is he the mastermind behind the scenes, but Li Fengyao. She set a trap for the Bai family from the beginning, and that half of the map was just a clear move, but I didn't think about what her secret chess was. Bai Shuyu is very afraid of my mother, and he doesn't even trust me completely. Jade, have you ever considered something?"
"What's the matter?"
"Even if the Bai family doesn't join forces with us, it won't be difficult for them to restore the Bai family's intelligence network."
"Isn't it difficult?"
"No one knows about the dead soldiers they secretly raised, and even if the Jianghu people find out later, they won't do anything to their Bai family. This Jianghu can tolerate the existence of Night Feather Xiaozhu, and naturally it can also tolerate the Bai family. If their family still behaved in the same way as they did nineteen years ago, no one would be willing to deal with them vigorously, as long as they did it step by step, step by step. But why do you want to ally with us? You know, we're plague gods, and everyone avoids us."
Jade thought for a moment, "Maybe they don't know the bottom in their hearts and want to use the power of Changfeng Tower."
"Nineteen years ago, the Li family and the Shangguan family got married, and this incident directly led to that disaster. An alliance with us will only make the rivers and lakes more jealous of them...... Jade, I just arrived at the Bai family last year, and I figured out this matter: they wanted to use my identity to temporarily contain Li Fengyao. If I am really the daughter of Bai Ruoyun and my aunt, then it is best, if not, then it doesn't matter, as long as Li Fengyao feels that the Bai family is temporary
Just be obedient."
"Is this what they're hiding from you?"
"Yes."
Jade changed her sitting position: "This is all your guess, right?"
Li Fenglan smiled: "I hope I guessed wrong...... However, if one day, Bai Shuyu really stands on the opposite side of me, who are you going to help?"
"Help him."
"Hey! Don't you answer without even thinking about it?"
Jade smiled slightly: "One is my future husband, and the other is my cheap sister, who do you say I help?" Isn't that obvious? Are you as good-looking as he is?"
"White-eyed wolf, give me back the bracelet!"
"Don't give."
The two girls were fighting in the box, and with Li Fenglan's skills, they were naturally pressed and beaten by Jade.
The two of them were arguing when they heard a commotion in the street, and they stopped frolicking, and leaned side by side on the window edge looking down on the street.
I saw a scholar in a green shirt running wildly, and not far away, two burly men were chasing him, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the street, and pedestrians were scolding dissatisfied.
Li Fenglan muttered, "I'm afraid I didn't pay for eating at someone's house, right?"
Jade shook her head, "No, this scholar has been chased several times."
"Huh? Have you seen it?"
"Met twice a few days ago."
"Tsk, it's boring," Li Fenglan left the window, "Na, Jade, do you want to drink?"
Jade looked at Li Fenglan, "Don't you don't like wine? Want to drink?"
"Anyway, this is your territory, so it's okay to drink too much, right?"
「…… Drink, anyway, there is no one to listen to you drunk this time."
A drunk solution to a thousand sorrows, this is what Li Fenglan wishes in her heart.
In the morning, I changed into white clothes and brought a bell, and people who I would never think of again suddenly appeared in my mind again. They are not far away now, and it will only be half a day to see each other. But she didn't want to go, she was angry in her heart: she changed her name to Cinnabar and let Tang Bailing play tourmaline, not only to be on par with Jade Amber in name, but also to let the short-lived ghost guess.
Who knew that after such a long time, she made such a big fuss, and she didn't see him come to her.
It's too unkind.
Li Fenglan was already dizzy after drinking two glasses of wine, she lay on her jade legs, held the wine glass and said loudly, "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue!" Pair the shadows into three people! …… Jadeite, why are there three people? If the two are a couple, what about the extra one?"
"The extra one...... Watch from the sidelines."
"Tease me again, it's boring." As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his glass, and then smiled stupidly, "It's not that bad...... Hiccup......"
Jade waved her hand lightly and fanned away the wine that Li Fenglan spewed out: "If you drink it again, you will be drunk."
Li Fenglan let go of her hand, the wine glass fell to the ground, she turned over, pillowed her thigh with her head sideways, closed her eyes and said, "Jade...... After those three drinks last year...... I seem to have been drunk until now......
"Three-legged toads are hard to find, aren't two-legged men all over the streets? Besides, people didn't say they couldn't come back."
"But I don't know who he is...... What if it's really Si Ye?"
"I heard that the seniors of Yuecheng have a good relationship with the valley master, and they are friends with each other. If Yuecheng's predecessors were really killed by Si Ye, then ...... It's better for you to have a long pain than a short one. Nothing ever happened between the two of you, did it? You have experienced all those lives and deaths that you have experienced with us, is he very special in your heart?"
Li Fenglan didn't answer because she was already asleep.
Jade sighed and rubbed her hair. At this time, the door of the private room opened, and a dead soldier of the Bai family walked in.
"Miss Jade, we have investigated, and it seems that Yeyu Xiaozhu's spies have only deployed manpower in Futaba Village and Hewu Town, and there are no ones in Xizhushan Town for the time being."
"What about the four money guards?"
"Hold still."
"How's the situation on Poyang Lake?"
"Last night's battle against Jiulianzhai was a complete victory, and now they are gathering men and horses to prepare for a counterattack on Futaba Village. There is no room for resistance from the water bandits in Shuangye Village, and Li Tianbiao, the leader of the water bandits, is ready to run away."
Emerald waved her hand, "Just keep staring."
"My subordinates understand."
"Go ahead."
"Subordinates retire."
