Chapter 360: The Great Prince
After Gao Yuan took the money, he went to the address given by Li Fenglan, Li Fenglan saw him walk into the woods next to him, and after a while, he took out a donkey, got on the donkey and left.
Han Lu squinted her eyes and asked, "This is Zhu Mingyu's donkey, right?"
Li Fenglan sighed and said, "I thought I knew you all at the same time, but I didn't expect that in the end, only you and the donkey were still by my side."
Hanlu was a little unpleasant: "Don't compare me to a donkey...... Ay...... Amber is married, and Jade will marry in the future, and I will be the only one by your side in the end."
"What about the donkey?"
"Get out of the pot."
Li Fenglan gave him a blank look: "Eat quickly, let's go to Lu'an after eating."
After the two of them had eaten, packed some more food, and hurried on their way.
Although the speed of the two of them was not slow, it took two days to reach Lu'an. After inquiring many times along the way, I learned about the destruction of the Flying Knife Gate.
The Flying Knife Gate is a small sect that plays with hidden weapons. Many years ago, it was also generous, but unfortunately it has been going downhill all these years, and the disciples in the sect have not been in sixty. A few days ago, the Flying Knife Gate was practicing in the wilderness outside Lu'an, and met the Jade Fairy of Changfeng Tower. The jade fairy didn't say a word, she came up and fought, and the entire flying knife door was slaughtered by her, and even the corpse was cleaned up with the help of the surrounding villagers.
Li Fenglan didn't believe this set of rhetoric at all, no matter how high Jade's martial arts were, it was still a person, not that she couldn't kill so many by herself, but - if they didn't want to be unfavorable to Jade, they wouldn't fight with Jade at all, if they wanted to escape, then Jade alone would not be able to catch up with so many people anyway.
To put it bluntly, they just wanted to kill Jadeite, but they were killed by Jadeite.
The door of the Flying Knife Gate was locked, and there was no one inside.
Han Lu looked at Li Fenglan and asked, "What now?"
Li Fenglan didn't speak, turned around and walked to a beggar on the corner of the street, threw a piece of broken silver into the beggar's bowl, and said, "I want to see your elders?"
The beggar picked up the silver and shook it, smiling happily, "Yes, but what is the name of this young lady?"
"Idler's Hall, Li Fenglan."
Hearing this, the beggar hurriedly dropped the broken silver and waved his hand again and again: "Miss, let's find someone else, we won't do your business."
Li Fenglan said with a cold face: "The rules of the beggar gang, you can't take the money back after your hands, and taking it back is considered robbery. You want Miss Ben to offend you beggars?"
The beggar looked bitter and begged, "Miss Li, you are doing well, we beggars are all hard-working people, and it is not easy to live. Now that the rivers and lakes are surging, I wonder when there will be a big mess, please don't implicate us."
Li Fenglan frowned and said, "I just want to ask you elders about something, what is involved? Two years ago, I was not in a better position than I am now, so why don't you still take the money to do things?"
The beggar really had no choice but to say, "Okay, please go up to the temple outside the city and wait."
Li Fenglan nodded, pulled Hanlu and turned to leave. When he passed by an elm tree, he secretly threw a handful of copper coins into the hollow of the tree, and this action was seen by the beggar.
The money obtained by the beggar had to be handed over, and then the local elders rewarded him according to merit, so the broken silver was not considered his. But the meaning of Li Fenglan throwing the money into the hole in the tree is different, and the one she picked up is her own.
The two waited for a whole day in the ruined temple outside the city, and at night, they finally saw more than a dozen tattered figures surrounding the ruined temple.
Li Fenglan asked, "Which is the elder of the beggar gang here?"
A young man's voice rang out, "Down there."
The young man's clothes were patched, but they were clean, a world of difference from those of his men. However, this young man's steps are vain, and he doesn't look like he knows martial arts, but the angry beggars all have their backs on their backs, and they seem to be good at practicing foreign skills.
With a kind smile on his face, the young man asked, "I wonder what Miss Li is looking for?"
Li Fenglan asked, "I want to know why the Flying Knife Gate attacked the Jade."
The young elder sneered, "Attack? It's better that your fairy attacked the Flying Knife Gate."
"No way, if the Emerald attacks them, they will run away if they can't beat them, and Emerald can't catch up with so much alone."
"Miss Li is very smart, and your guess is reasonable, but ...... Our beggars don't get involved in these messy things, so naturally they won't favor anyone. My next words, believe it or not, are up to Miss Li."
"Please."
"The actions of the Flying Knife Gate that day were indeed a bit strange, usually they would not go to the wilderness outside the city, it did look like they were going to ambush the Jade Fairy. But the Jade Fairy's actions are also very strange, originally she was going in the direction of Huangzhou, but suddenly she turned around and came to Lu'an."
Li Fenglan frowned: "Huangzhou?"
"That's right."
"Why?"
"We don't know about this, Miss Li," the young elder said, "I've already said all I know, your money hasn't been spent in vain, if there are no other problems, please leave quickly."
Li Fenglan nodded, revealing the ruined temple with a cold face, but as soon as she took two steps, she heard the young elder say.
"Please stay, there is one more thing to think about when I think about it."
Li Fenglan stopped, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
The young elder threw something at Li Fenglan, which was taken by Han Lu and found that it was a piece of broken silver, which was the piece that Li Fenglan gave to the beggar.
Li Fenglan wondered, "What do you mean?"
"There's something I'd like to ask Miss Li about next." Look at the book
"What do you want to ask?"
"More than 10 years ago...... I don't remember how many years I have, a tragedy happened in our beggar gang Hangzhou rudder, and the local elders were usurped by their subordinates. We paid for Yaba Kozuki to come over to quell the rebellion, and when it was over, they took a child with them. We've been looking for this kid all these years, and if he's still alive, he would be in his early twenties."
Li Fenglan was even more puzzled: "I didn't understand what you meant."
The young elder patiently explained, "Night Feather Xiaozhu only kills people and rarely takes people away, we guess this child should not be dead, and he still has a certain status in Night Feather Xiaozhu. Miss killed Ye Yu Xiaozhu in Luzhou a few years ago, and I want to ask you if you have met such a person."
Li Fenglan shook her head: "What you said is too broad, I don't have any friends in Yeyu Xiaozhu."
The elder looked a little disappointed, "His surname is Gao, please let me know if Miss has any information about his whereabouts."
Li Fenglan had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Surname Gao?"
The elder felt that there was a door, and his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Miss has heard of this man?"
Li Fenglan thought about Gao Yuan, although she didn't know Gao Yuan's exact life experience, but she probably knew something, for example, he was indeed captured by the big leader and returned to be Si Ye's stand-in.
Li Fenglan asked rhetorically, "I should know, but I have to know why you are looking for him first."
The young elder said excitedly, "My surname is Gao! My name is Gao Xin! I'm his brother! When there was a plague in our hometown, my father and mother died, and I took him out to escape. It's a pity that we got separated. I was in exile in the beggar gang, and after so many years, I finally became an elder, and I inquired about his whereabouts. However, I only know that he was taken away by Night Feather Kozuki. Miss Lee! Do you really know him?! Is he still alive?!"
What Gao Xin said was sincere, not like acting.
Li Fenglan suddenly laughed: "I can tell you, but well, this broken silver is not enough as a reward."
"How much does Miss Lee want?"
"I'm not interested in money, do something for me."
"Although the gang stipulates that you are not allowed to contact you, if Miss Li is willing to help you find her brother, even if it is to go to the soup, she will do it for you."
"Help me find the whereabouts of the jadeite, and I will naturally reunite your brothers in two months."
"Miss Li, the ugly words are ahead, if you break your promise......
"I know the rules."
Later, Li Fenglan learned from the Lu'an beggar gang that Jade was going
Anqing went. The two of them didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to Anqing.
The current jade makes Li Fenglan's heart tremble, as long as she hears the news about her, it is who she kills, and the death toll starts at ten. In just two months, the people killed by Emerald have already caught up with the total amount of amber so far.
…
In the noisy streets and alleys of Songjiang Mansion, a mansion with a small standard has ushered in its new owner, a mother and son.
The woman is in her fifties, her son is in his twenties, he looks good, he has been dressed as a scholar for many years, and he is called Ye Jing.
The mother and son took a few subordinates to work for a day, and finally cleaned up the house. Since the kitchen had just been cleaned up, they had not yet bought firewood, rice, oil and salt, so they ordered food from a restaurant outside.
After dinner, the mother and son sat in the courtyard and chatted.
Mother was talking about more than 20 years ago, and Ye Jing listened quietly on the side, with a smile on his face, and did not interject.
"At that time, the people in the sect were prosperous, and there were many children of the same generation as you."
Seeing that her mother still had the meaning to continue, Ye Jing interrupted her with a smile: "Mother, it's not early, it's time for you to rest, let's talk again tomorrow."
"Okay, it's time to rest...... Jing'er, now that we've stabilized, it's time for you to find a daughter-in-law."
Ye Jing laughed: "I don't want to continue after Xuan'er dies, wait for another two years, who knows if there are still people thinking about us now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of a young man at the gate.
"The eldest prince is right, let's wait until it stabilizes when it comes to starting a family."
Ye Jing's heart tightened, he stood up to protect his mother, and saw a young man dressed as a scholar and a young man walking into the courtyard with a folding fan in his hand, as if he had entered a no-man's land.
Ye Jing frowned: "You call me the eldest prince...... You...... Is it Chen Zidu?"
Chen Zi gave a deep salute: "The eldest son, the subordinates are quite timely."
"Don't say anything about your subordinates, we have nothing to do with Night Feather Kotsu anymore."
Chen Zidu shook his head: "It doesn't matter if it's okay, it's not up to you...... Come with me."
Ye Jing also shook his head: "We're not going anywhere, just here."
The mother grabbed Ye Jing's hand and said worriedly, "Son, don't mess with them."
"Old lady, you have misunderstood," Chen Ziju said, "There is no malice in coming here this time, I am here to protect you two. Time is pressing, come with me, the people who have come to kill you are about to enter the city."
Ye Jing frowned, "You're not here to kill us?"
"The Great Leader is kind to me, how can I be unfavorable to you."
As he spoke, a burly man in a black cloak walked up behind Chen Ziduel and whispered something, Chen Zidui frowned, a little incredulous: "So much? Li Fengyao is so generous."
Then he said to Ye Jing's mother and son, "Let's stop being hypocritical, let's leave quickly, the people I brought are not enough to deal with them."
