The three of them looked at each other, Bai Zongping was not willing to talk to Lin Jianlan, Lin Jianlan thought about it and seemed to be the only one who said first, touched the object in the handkerchief on his chest, and didn't know if he should return the hairpin to Lu Man, and felt that he had not brought anything to compensate, something was wrong.

Lu Man saw that he kept holding down his chest, and seeing that although the blood stains there were dry, they were still red, but he was a little worried, and finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward and said, "Can your wounds be treated?"

Bai Zongping was mocking Lu Man all the way just now, and his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by Lin Jianlan, but at this moment, seeing that Lu Man actually took the initiative to speak again, his expression was so annoyed, seeing that Lin Jianlan did not answer, he was both angry and happy in his heart, and said secretly: "It's boring again, right?"

Lin Jianlan also couldn't imagine that Lu Man still put aside the unhappiness just now, and frankly said that he was concerned about the injury, he was really touched, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to silently turn around and pour a cup of tea, handed it to Lu Man, and said with a guilty face: "Sister Man, I, I'm very damned." ”

Lu Man was stunned, bit his lip and turned his head, and after a while, Fang turned around and tilted his head and said, "Could it be that my brother still wants to accompany Miss Wanxiu to die?"

Wan Xiu is now an untouchable wound in Lin Jianlan's heart, even if she secretly said very sensibly that she left her parents and family and did not have much to do with her, she was still buried in the depths, faintly throbbing, just because she heard Lu Man's words at that time, there was still a trace of hope that Wan Xiu was still alive in this world.

At this moment, hearing Lu Man mention Wanxiu again, Lin Jianlan smiled and said: "No, I said that I deserve to die, because Sister Man was desperate to save me from death and Mrs. Wan just now, but I said those words to make you angry." ”

Lu Man noticed that Lin Jianlan's eyebrows furrowed slightly when he mentioned Wan Xiu, and when he saw him pretending to be relaxed to apologize to himself, he couldn't help but look dark, and said indifferently: "If I am good at kung fu, I don't need to say those words to deliberately provoke her, Miss Wanxiu is a benefactor of several of us no matter what, and I have never really fought with her." ”

Lin Jianlan said secretly: "A woman's appearance has always been extremely important, let alone a girl as beautiful as Sister Man, but just now she was almost cut in the face by the sword, and I didn't see that she felt any fear." Thinking of this, he said: "Don't talk about what happened just now, I followed the guidance of others all the way here, just hoping to make amends to you." Sister Man, do you still remember the time of the Jinzhou branch?" Without waiting for Lu Man to answer, he said to himself: "Last time, I secretly blamed you in my heart, misunderstood you, but I didn't know how to open my mouth after I understood, this time it's the same, although I regret it in my heart, but I don't really get angry with you because of you, and you still care about my injuries, I ......" He said very sincerely, and when he said this, the words were only in his heart, and he said secretly: " She and I met in that little shop, and although she had the idea of taking advantage of me at first, she was willing to take care of me and advance and retreat with me. ”

Lu Man was silent for a long time, and said: "You only need to understand one thing, I recognize you as my younger brother, which is not the same as those friends of wine and meat and friends of interests on the rivers and lakes." You are so affectionate to Miss Wan, how can I blame you?"

Bai Zongping was left by the two of them, looking at them, you said a word, and I couldn't interject, at this moment, listening to Lu Man's words, he had already forgiven Lin Jianlan, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know what is good about this stinky kid, treat him so leniently?" There was a look of indignation on his face, and he said sourly: "Brother Lin is a bit of a trick, the eldest lady of the Nanhai faction is so arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, but she is still kind to you when she comes out of this matter." ”

Lin Jianlan is no longer the ignorant young man he was at the beginning, knowing that Bai Zongping has a lot of love for Lu Man, although he disdains his narrow-mindedness and selfishness, but his love for Lu Man is always good, so he also said to Bai Zongping: "It's indeed the fault of the little brother, I myself have long been ashamed, Brother Bai must not blame me anymore." ”

Lu Man smiled and said softly: "Second senior brother, I was deflated by my younger brother's place, do you still show me my face? Just now I was not good, and I fell into the teapot, isn't there another one? Don't blame me!"

Bai Zongping saw her smiling, and the messy hair hanging down her cheeks was even more amorous at this time, and she could still hold her face, so he had to sigh and say, "It's up to you after all." ”

Lin Jianlan said, "Why did Sister Man and Big Brother Bai come here?"

Lu Man's face changed slightly, and he didn't speak, Bai Zongping said: "The Kuangyi Gang has changed a lot, we have also heard a little, it has nothing to do with a remote faction like us that is looked down upon by famous and decent people, and we can't get involved, but she heard that something happened and clamored to come over to take a look." ”

Lin Jianlan was speechless when he heard it, knowing that Lu Man was really concerned about his safety. But seeing Lu Man's expression as usual at the moment, he said: "What are you talking about, my brother's method last time was really effective, but it hurt me, my father came back with my mother, and watched me all day long and didn't allow me to come out, I was really bored at home, and finally had an excuse, so I pulled the second senior brother and ran out." He smiled again and said, "Brother, you can't easily have any thoughts in the future, I don't care, but isn't your ice cube girl going to be sad?"

Lin Jianlan said in a panic: "What ice cube girl, how can I have ......?"

Lu Man looked at Lin Jianlan and said with a smile: "My brother said that day, 'The frost and snow are not intended, where can the spring breeze melt the ice', is it the girl in white who is standing behind you today? ”

Lin Jianlan's face turned red all of a sudden, I don't know how Lu Man could be so accurate, looking up, I saw Lu Man standing by the window, and saw that the neckline and sleeves of her yellow shirt were embroidered with pink peach blossom patterns, and I knew that the hairpin was probably also for this dress. Looking carefully, I saw that her eyes were full of water, the water was rippling, her face was not as pale as Yin Yin, she was pink, and her lips were even more delicate, but her expression was complicated and a little playful.

However, for some reason, Lin Jianlan always felt that she had no intention and couldn't confess to her, didn't she have a different kind of emotion for Yin Yin? This emotion is different from Ah Xiu, and it is also different from Lu Man, she is naturally different from Ah Xiu and Lu Man for herself, and the expectations that she never dared to think about were just falling flowers, not to mention ...... What's more, Ah Xiu may be no longer alive now, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and said vaguely: "She, how can she look down on me." ”

Lu Man saw that his expression was heavy and depressed, and he couldn't bear to joke anymore, so he said silently for a long time: "Don't talk about this, I almost forgot about the matter, the matter of the Kuang Yi Gang, does my brother have any plans?"

Lin Jianlan suddenly woke up from his long thoughts, and said secretly: "Ah, Uncle Qing's whereabouts are still unknown, do you still have time to have a child here?" hurriedly said: "Sister Man and Brother Bai are here, it's really good, if it's usual, I may be a host, please have a good time in Hangzhou, at the moment things are chaotic, Uncle Qing is gone, and Brother Yue, Master Fang, and Zhang Protector...... I really don't know what to do. ”

Lu Man pressed Lin Jianlan on the chair and said: "Brother, don't worry, in my opinion, your father-in-law is not alone in the gang, there are still some people around him, besides, such a famous gang, if something happens to the gang leader, the rivers and lakes have already been rumored, but this time it is a little bland, it can be seen that the safety of your father-in-law is not very important." ”

Lin Jianlan said blankly: "But I'm very worried about him now, my mind is very confused, I don't know how to find out the whereabouts of him and the others, could it be that I just came to Jiangnan for nothing?" and thought that the appointment with Yuan Xingjian and Xie Zhongju in Hangzhou was still some time, and these days it is not long, it is not short, and I don't know what to do and what I can do, and I am even more at a loss.

Lu Man smiled and comforted: "How did my brother forget? When it comes to the ability to investigate, no gang can match the beggar gang, I heard that you also went to the beggar gang festival, if you have a friend of the beggar gang who can get by, please ask for it, it's just ...... Your stepfather is now a down-and-out person, and your identity is different in the past and today, helping you find out is actually equivalent to indirectly being the opponent of the current Kuangyi gang leader, I don't know if they are willing to help you with this. ”

Lin Jianlan immediately thought of Tang Zimu, judging from the past, in addition to the beggar gang, there seemed to be other intelligence channels behind him, he knew a lot, and he should be very willing to help, but first, I don't know what his status is in the gang now, and secondly, since he asks for someone, it is better not to write a letter or two to make it clear, or to ask in person.

Although Lin Jianlan was reluctant to ask Tang Zimu in his heart, he couldn't help but get his own preferences, and sighed and said: "I know a friend of the beggar gang Chang'an, he will definitely help, but this matter still has to be entrusted to him in person, but I also have important things to do in Jiangnan...... Taihu Yuan Xingjian, do you know?"

Lu Man said: "Is there anyone who doesn't know him now? Last time, my mother sent the senior brother to Taihu Lake, and the second senior brother had to accompany me out and missed the opportunity to see Yuan Xingjian. ”

Bai Zongping hurriedly argued: "Where do I regret it?"

Lin Jianlan remembered that Lu Man had said this when he was in the wild shop at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, nodded and said: "I was fortunate to get acquainted with him when I was in Suzhou, and he was really a righteous man who took it and put it down. ”

Lu Man and the others didn't know what he meant by "take it and put it down", but they were quite envious that he and Yuan Xingjian could get acquainted, and listened to Lin Jianlan say: "I originally agreed with him, I will meet in Hangzhou in a while, there are some extremely important things, if I go to Chang'an, I really can't catch up in time." ”

When Bai Zongping heard that Yuan Xingjian had an agreement with him, he couldn't help but feel envious and jealous in his heart, and was about to ask, but he heard Lu Man already ask: "How did you get acquainted with him? What is the agreement? Can you tell me more about it?"

Lin Jianlan knew that it was not convenient to explain the ins and outs to them in the future, and said: "Sister Man, Brother Bai, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but I really can't say it, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will tell you wholeheartedly, but since I have made an appointment with Brother Yuan, I must keep my word, Chang'an, alas, I really lack skills." ”

Lu Man said: "What's so difficult about this, it's nothing more than that we will run for you." ”

Lin Jianlan said with joy in his heart: "Really, but it's too troublesome for you and Big Brother Bai." ”

Bai Zongping said sullenly: "You're going to Chang'an again, little junior sister, don't make your own decisions, if something happens, the master is reluctant to talk about you, and only blames me alone." ”

Lu Man said: "The Kao Festival is coming, don't you want to go and see it?"

Bai Zongping said: "I want to go, it's useless without Kao post." ”

Lu Man pouted: "So I said I could go over in advance and try my luck." ”

Lin Jianlan listened to what the two of them said, and said, "What are you talking about? Why have I never heard of the 'Kao Festival', but are you enjoying the flowers?"

Lu Man said with a smile: "Although I am a girl's family, I am also a child of the rivers and lakes, how can I go to see the flowers and plants? This 'Kao Festival' is said to have started more than ten years ago, once every three years, not only the famous Shilin, but also the people in the rivers and lakes are quite valued, it is said that I have benefited a lot from the visit, so I want to go to see for a long time." It's just that the invitation is hard to find, not to mention us, even my father and mother have never been there, not only to run errands for you, but also to try your luck to get one. If the younger brother's side is busy, he can go to Chang'an to have a look. ”

Lin Jianlan was worried about Lin Longqing's safety, but he was not interested in this "Kao Event", and said perfunctorily with a smile: "Well, in that case, thank you Sister Man and Brother Bai, I can get away here and go to Chang'an to find you." ”

Lu Man said: "I interrupted again, you only said a friend of the beggar gang, who hasn't told us yet!"

Lin Jianlan slapped his forehead and said: "My head is just a mess, I forgot to tell you, I don't know if you know him, his surname is Tang Zimu." ”

Lu Man said: "I've heard that the Beggar Gang originally only had four elders, but he became the fifth, and it is rumored that he doesn't know martial arts, but is it true?"

Lin Jianlan said: "I have dealt with him a little, but it is true that he doesn't know martial arts. ”

Lu Manxi said: "Anyway, since you are the elder of the beggar gang, maybe there is a Kao post! Second senior brother, do you still blame me for deciding to go to Chang'an without authorization? If you can go and see it this time, it will be too late for you to thank me!"

Bai Zongping's face, which had always been gloomy, also showed a hint of joy, but he still sighed heavily and said: "I can't talk about you after all, but you must not provoke the people of the Imperial Kou Division again this time!"

Lin Jianlan saw that the two of them were willing to go to Chang'an for him, and he was very grateful, seeing that Lu Man had been holding the tea he had just poured in his hand, and had never drunk it, thinking that the night he first saw Lu Man, the blue cinnamon tea that Lu Man personally brewed with his hands might be a beauty beside him, which was even more fragrant. Although the Longjing in Hangzhou is also the top grade in the tea, compared with that night, it is simply heaven and earth, so I hurriedly collected my mind, went up to take it, and refilled the water and respectfully served: "This tea is naturally not as good as the Langui tea in Sister Man's hometown, and I will talk to express my regret and gratitude to the two of you." ”
