When Jielan returned to the 'Fenglai Inn' where she stayed a few days ago, she happened to see the shopkeeper opening the door with a signboard, and Jielan wanted to redeem her redstone bead chain just right, so she beckoned to the shopkeeper: "Boss, remember me!" ”
When Jielan wanted to go over to help him, he waved his left hand again and again, stepped back, and said in fear: "Please spare me!" Spare me! ”
Jielan was a little puzzled, she looked at the other party carefully, and noticed that the shopkeeper's face was bloated, and his arms were wrapped in cloth around his neck, and his left leg was also a little lame, and he walked deep and shallow, it seemed that he had been seriously injured by someone after they left, so it ended up like this.
She thought to herself that the other party was so afraid that she must know the wanted warrant in the city, she may have been used to people's fear of herself, this time she did not feel angry because of this, she took out the hundreds of taels of silver from her arms and handed it over, and said, "I am here to redeem the bead chain I mortgaged to you last time, you see if this is enough!" ”
The shopkeeper saw that the other party gave the silver tael, as if he didn't have too much malice, so he calmed down a little, but still trembled and said, "I... I don't dare to ask... You guys... Walk... Come on! ”
"What are we not going to do to you? Please don't be afraid, that bead chain is very important to me, and I must redeem it! ”
The shopkeeper stood up tremblingly, took a few steps back, and said, "Don't be here to fake your kindness... You snatched the stuff back... Beat me like this again, you... What else do you want? ”
Jielan was suddenly stunned, not understanding what the other party was saying, "What did you say?" We made you like this? ”
"Isn't it enough that you have discounted my hand? Isn't that white guard your bodyguard? I reported to the police, but I didn't expect to catch you. The shopkeeper blushed angrily, "Hurry up, or I'll call the officers and soldiers!" ”
"What do you say? How can you, the boss, be so unreasonable, and we have no ill will towards you..."The black pig saw that Jielan was treated rudely by this person, so he stepped forward to say a few words to him, but when the man saw the appearance of the black pig demon beast, he was so frightened that he screamed, and hurriedly closed the door of the store with a bang, and then only heard a cry of almost crazy collapse from the door panel.
No matter how Jielan knocked on the door, the shopkeeper didn't respond, and she didn't want to do anything too conspicuous here, so as not to be noticed by the officers and soldiers, but she silently thought in her heart, "The person in white? Is it Chengfeng? He's already snatched my bead chain back, so the shopkeeper was hurt like that? No wonder he was missing when he left the store that day, but why did he snatch the bead chain? Is it for me to snatch it back, or do you want to hold the bead chain yourself and threaten me? Jielan has too many questions, but she can't get answers, and it seems that she can only ask clearly when she finds him.
But at that time, he would definitely use the bead chain to force himself to unseal the spirit bead for him, that guy was originally such a person!
Now that she knows where the bead chain goes, Jielan doesn't want to stay here longer, she pulls the black pig to the direction of the blacksmith shop, but just after a while, she hears the sound of horses' hooves, and in the dust, a carriage is coming towards Jielan, and the groom driving is actually Wuluan, Jielan is a little hard to believe her eyes, she reconfirms clearly, who will that person be if he is not Wuluan?
Perhaps Wuluan, who was sitting at the head of the horse, also noticed Jielan on the side of the street, and he hurriedly stopped the carriage, and a woman's voice came from the carport, "Why don't you continue to chase?" ”
The woman's voice was a little immature, a little squeamish, and a little eager. Jielan was excited, hurriedly ran to the front of the car, pulled the bamboo curtain in front of the carport, and the person who met her eyes was petite and exquisite, with skin like jade, and her long white hair was like flying snow in the breeze, reflecting her long eyelashes and touching the sadness in her eyes.
"Snow!" Jielan exhaled softly, she thought that Qi Xue, who almost lost her life in order to save herself, broke into the 'Elixir Building' and could now appear in front of her safely, Jielan didn't know how relieved she was, she hugged Qi Xue, and blamed her with a little choked: "You didn't get hurt anymore, why did you run out again." ”
Qi Xue was a little surprised when she suddenly saw Jielan, but she quickly reacted, hugged her back with both hands, and smiled sweetly, "It's okay, my injuries are all healed, don't believe it, look!" She lifted her sleeve to reveal her thin arm, which had been scarred at first and now had only a fine line, and it seemed to be much better.
But Jielan was still not at ease, and asked, "Then what are you doing?" ”
"Chase the old man." Qi Xue suddenly became angry, "That old man must not be a good thing, I saw him taken away by two officers and soldiers in the morning?" ”
"Then he wasn't implicated by us?" Jielan began to get nervous.
"No, I see that those two officers and soldiers are very respectful to him, and those two are Kong Jing's subordinates, I think this old man must have a ghost!"
Jielan was also surprised, she suddenly thought that when she was in the Paradise Pavilion, the Yanlin Sword given by the old man made a demonic sound, and this sound posed a threat to the city lord, now I think that if the old man is Kongjing's person, then he gave this Yanlin Sword didn't he borrow his own hand to help Kongjing get rid of the city lord?
Jielan was very surprised by her bold idea, if it was true, then he had a purpose in taking in a few of us, maybe Chengfeng had an accident caused by him, and then I don't know how many more schemes are calculating how many of us? But when she suddenly remembered the black pig's questioning voice behind her, Jielan suddenly felt surprised again, she looked back at the black pig in a daze, and didn't take his eyes off him for a long time.
"What's wrong with you?" The black pig is a little worried about the god of Jielan.
"Snow, are you really sure you're seeing an old blacksmith?" Jielan suddenly felt that she had encountered something very terrifying, her face suddenly became gloomy, and even her voice was so hoarse that it seemed to come from the ground.
"Is there a- any problem?" Qi Xue seemed to be frightened by Jielan's expression.
Jielan faced the black pig, and suddenly felt that she was so ridiculous, she had always thought that it was the damn old man, so she was full of gratitude and admiration for him, but thinking about it carefully, there was something similar between the old man and Long Yi, and she firmly believed in her own ideas like a fool. But in this case, then this old man is really Kong Jing's subordinate, he deliberately came to approach us, in fact, he is planning something for Kong Jing, right? Otherwise, how could the Elysium incident happen?
When Qi Xue saw the black pig standing outside the carport, she couldn't help but ask, "Blue, who is this weird-looking guy?" Her impolite salutation seemed to directly sting the black pig, and the black pig turned his head a little embarrassed, turned his back to the two of them, and did not dare to speak.
Jielan knew that the black pig was the most taboo for others to talk about his appearance, not to mention that Qi Xue was so bold and direct, she hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, it's better to chase the old man, maybe he will know where Chengfeng is being held?" ”
Qi Xue only came to her senses from the conversation at this time, and when she thought of Chengfeng's safety, her expression immediately changed, and the kind of care for him seemed to be innate, affecting every part of her heart.
