Chapter 8: The Jade Code
The bumps of the carriage were like Lan Sheng's emotional ups and downs.
Nearby, a hungry old woman, she really couldn't help it, because the tornado on the river was coming, everyone was in a hurry, and a few people fell from the basket with winter food cakes, so she hurriedly walked in front of the carriage to pick them up.
The coachman hurriedly scolded the horse, and almost overturned.
Sheng'er was clever and woke up from half of her sleep, and she hurriedly opened the curtain to watch.
Young Master Jiang Cheng snatched the old woman from the carriage before the coachman was angry and scolded the street, and also helped her pick up a few cakes.
"Yo, what a coincidence! It's the big girl in the Qijia Mansion again, it's really a long time since I've seen it!" He seemed to be smiling, and on his handsome face, he showed the love in the inn just now, Sheng'er couldn't help but be a little nervous, and hurriedly told the coachman to hurry up.
Unexpectedly, the horses did not move. The coachman got off his horse and briefly checked the horse's hooves, but at this time, Sheng'er suddenly heard two women on the side of the road whispering: "There was a gentleman just now, he seemed to be heading towards the small Japanese oil tanker, this person is very strange, his face is a little special, not like our fellow countrymen, isn't he afraid of tornadoes on the river?"
Sheng'er was very surprised, so she hurriedly dismounted, and inquired about a few fellows passing by, they all described this person, nine times out of ten it was the person she had just seen, it was the person who the eldest lady of the Qi family told her to find, but it was in the direction of the small oil tanker of the Japanese army, some people said that he got off the river boat, and did not look like he was in a hurry to go home, but wandered over there.
Sheng'er observed the sky and saw that there was no strong wind nearby, and it was estimated that the tornado would have to wait for a while.
When she was in the Lan family's team, her master had instructed her to predict the direction of tornadoes and wind monsters, so she hurriedly walked to a nearby store, bought a few incense sticks, and then lit one.
Young Master Jiang Cheng watched secretly nearby, looking at her many words and pinching her fingers this time, he couldn't help laughing, and then stepped forward, wanting to pat her shoulder to scare her, but hesitated, this time he wanted to do this move is really redundant, it is better to follow her and pay attention to her every move. It just so happened that the place she was going to was in the direction of the small Japanese oil tanker on the river, and he also had this intention.
He was not out of curiosity, but when he was watching just now, he felt that the Japanese army must have hidden something unsightly in the small oil tanker, and if he hid some bad items and things that endangered the people, he would definitely find out and ensure the safety of the people, which was also something he regarded as a martial arts man. Just to find out about this, he must do it in a secret place, and he must also ensure his own safety.
But seeing Lan Sheng walking a few steps quickly, three steps and two steps, striding straight towards the river like a meteor, Young Master Jiang Cheng quietly hid nearby, gradually following, Sheng'er faintly felt that someone seemed to be following her, but at this moment, the task of the eldest lady of the Qi family urged him to find that person quickly. Because this person is also the person the Lan family team cares about.
Who are the people who both parties want? Sheng'er was also faintly curious.
Sheng'er circled around the neighborhood twice, and finally found that person, he was actually talking to the Japanese army watcher at the moment, Sheng'er was faintly worried, looking at his dress, he should be Han Chinese, how could he talk to the Japanese army?
The Japanese soldiers immediately lost their patience, as if they were going to chase him away, but in fact they didn't know him, he was Shaotian Dazuo, their boss, they were just small soldiers watching the ship, where did they know this powerful officer in the Japanese army.
Shaotian Dazuo dressed up as a Han this time, but he just wanted to borrow these small boats, quickly cross the river to the opposite side, buy some food for the old mother, and then come back, there is a hidden conspiracy is that he is also premeditated to observe the shop of the merchants of the people of the Golden Bricks on the other side, he is very interested.
It is said that there is a mine within a radius of ten miles, people call it the Golden Brick Mountain, which is said to be rich in gold in ancient times, but in recent years there has not been any gold, but there are repeated merchants here, which has aroused the concern and attention of Shaotian Daisa.
Looking at this person, from the ferry, frightened by the Japanese soldiers with guns, and jumped off the boat, Sheng'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just now he talked skillfully, she even thought that this person was Japanese, so she was very worried, in case the Qifu and the Japanese army got involved, then the Lan family team would really have a big opponent......
But this person seemed to be very concerned about the two small Japanese oil tankers, Sheng'er did not know why, she walked forward quickly, trying to greet this person, but he walked quickly and passed by her.
Sheng'er was in a hurry.
"Hey, stop, gentleman, please stay. ”
The gentleman then looked back at Lan Sheng, who had a piercing gaze and a mighty appearance, and his face was very special, but very handsome, which was beyond doubt.
"Do you recognize me, little girl, why did you tell me to stay? Did you recognize the wrong person?"
His voice was slightly magnetic, and he sounded very skillful in sweaty language, and Sheng'er immediately dispelled his concerns and suspicions about him.
"Qi family, do you know each other? Sister Mei, the eldest lady of Qi Mansion, asked me to come to find you. Are you the one she's looking for?" asked Sheng'er tentatively.
The man immediately looked at her vigilantly, nodded slightly, and then made a gesture to ask her to go to a quieter place, and Sheng'er took out the portrait of the note that the eldest lady had instructed her to give to this person, and the man looked at it again and again, and then took out a jade pendant shaped like a wish from inside his jacket and handed it to her.
Such a handsome and mighty man, with a piece of beautiful jade in his arms, made Sheng'er puzzled, but she was inconvenient to ask, after all, Sister Mei, the eldest wife of the Qi family, asked her to find someone this time, and her task was only to pass the word, just bring back the things given by this person, and that.
The man didn't say anything else, and left directly, and Sheng'er was surprised that he was so tough.
But the man drifted away and left without looking back.
So Sheng'er hurriedly carried this piece of beautiful jade into her arms, and she hurriedly remembered the shape and texture of this piece of jade, and even the colored rope tied to the jade pendant, so that she had the opportunity to report it to the master of the Lan family.
Then she was about to go back, but suddenly saw a faint dark wind starting, and the tornado on the river should be about to arrive.
