The Chen family does have their own house in Shi'an City, and as Mr. Chen said before, this house is empty, with only an old and dim-eyed concierge responsible for daily care.
Perhaps it was because no one had come here for a long time. The old man looked very happy when he saw Xiao Han and his party. He followed them from the moment they entered the door, chattering about old stories about old millet and rotten sesame seeds.
Boss Chen was very annoyed by what he heard and scolded him a few times angrily before his ears cleared.
Seeing Boss Chen scolding and leaving the concierge, Xiao Han and others, who were a little worried about being exposed, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They hurriedly washed their faces a few times and went to the bedroom to rest without even eating.
Among them, as the key subject of supervision, Boss Chen slept in the same room with the imperial guards. As for Xiao Han, he lived with Ren Qing, so that they could take care of each other.
A night of silence
Early the next morning, a loud noise outside the yard woke Xiao Han from his sleep.
Getting up haphazardly, Xiao Han rubbed his eyes and looked at the other bed, but it didn't matter. Ren Qing, who was supposed to be sleeping on it, was nowhere to be seen!
Shocked in his heart, he was about to rush out to look for someone, but he bumped into Ren Qing who happened to be walking in.
"Hey, you, what did you do so early in the morning?" Xiao Han covered his head and took a few steps back, grinning and asked Ren Qing.
Ren Qing, who was holding a baggage in his hand, frowned slightly and said, "I went out to lie down and find something on the way."
"what?"
"Gouache!"
"Gouache? The kind of gouache women use? Why are you looking for this? Do you still have a lover in Shi'an City?"
"..."
It was obvious that Xiao Han was overthinking.
Because Ren Qing was not looking for gouache to give to her little lover, but to apply it on Xiao Han's fair face.
As a pampered marquis of a noble family, although Xiao Han's appearance is not outstanding, his face can be said to be relatively fair.
Such a face would not be a problem in Chang'an, a place where officials are as numerous as dogs and young masters are everywhere, but in Lingnan, it would seem a bit out of place.
After all, due to differences in lighting and regions, most people here in Lingnan have dark skin, and a fair face like Xiao Han is particularly eye-catching in a crowd. Otherwise, the girl named Xun'er wouldn't be so far away every time.
, you can find him accurately.
After entering the room and closing the door, he put the bundle on the table and spread it out. Xiao Han didn't care to rub his head at this time and followed him curiously. He saw that there were not only various gouache in the bundle, but also many bottles and cans.
, there are even fake beards and fake hair.
"You went out early in the morning, weren't you looking for those people?" Xiao Han reached out to fiddle with a few of the things out of curiosity, and looked at Ren Qing suspiciously.
With such a complete set of disguise tools, Xiao Han could not think of anyone other than Baiqi who might use them.
"Yes!" Ren Qing nodded, without any intention of hiding anything.
"Oh? What did you say to them?" Xiao Han frowned slightly and asked.
"Time is too tight, so I don't have much to say."
"What about them today?"
"According to circumstances!"
Ren Qing said it simply, there was nothing he could do. There was no plan at all at this time, because even Ren Qing himself had no plan.
Therefore, he could only simply tell Baiqi's people: There are only two tasks today!
The first is to inquire about the recent movements of the Feng family members.
The second is to try every means to find out whether the Feng family has ordered sulfur in large quantities recently!
If they can confirm these two pieces of information, then Ren Qing will drag Xiao Han away from Lingnan without hesitation. As for the next matter, it is likely that Liu Hongji will need to handle it.
Gouache mixed with oil is very uncomfortable when applied on the face, not to mention that there is a mustache stuck under the nose.
The itching made Xiao Han want to reach out and wipe it, but under Ren Qing's cold eyes, he had to resist the urge and walked out of the room with a dark face.
In the small courtyard outside, Boss Chen and the guards, who were busy tying the gifts back onto the horse, were obviously stunned after seeing the freshly baked Xiao Han. Two bastards even had their cheeks trembling.
, almost laughed out loud on the spot.
"What are you looking at!"
Just when everyone was staring at Xiao Han with strange expressions, Ren Qing walked over from behind with a cold face, and his sharp eyes swept across the faces of several people, scaring the two people who were working hard to suppress their laughter and immediately became honest.
Close your mouth and say nothing.
"Da-king?"
Boss Chen who was standing aside didn’t smile, and he wasn’t in the mood to laugh either!
Having barely slept all night yesterday, he faced a pair of dark circles under his eyes, mustered up all his courage, and asked Xiao Han and Ren Qing: "Are we really going to the Chen family today?"
Boss Chen has been holding this sentence in his heart all night.
He didn't know what these bold guys were going to do, but he could guess that nothing good would happen to these people when they went to Feng's house! And maybe, even him might be involved.
"Go!" Ren Qing glanced at Boss Chen and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that you know a lot of people in charge? It just so happens that you take this opportunity today to let me know that your Chen family is in urgent need of improvement recently.
Batch sulfur! As for the price, it’s easy to negotiate!”
"Bringing in a large amount of sulfur?" Mr. Chen's eyes were obviously confused when he heard this: "What do you want that thing for? It smells weird. No one uses that thing except to smoke insects."
"You will do whatever you are asked to do! Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Xiao Han looked at Boss Chen's confused look and couldn't help but snorted: "As long as you can find someone who can ship sulfur in large quantities this time.
, I can give you the antidote today."
"Can you give me the antidote today?"
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Han said this, Boss Chen's eyes immediately widened! He didn't care about whether it was sulfur or not. Even if Xiao Han soaked this thing in water and drank it, it was none of his business? In this world, what else?
Is there anything more important than your own life?
"Are you not lying?" Boss Chen, who looked at Xiao Han eagerly like a pug, was afraid that this was just a joke played by Xiao Han.
"Nonsense! When have I ever lied to anyone?" Xiao Han glanced at him and snorted coldly! However, in his heart, he silently added: "The people I lied to are not people!"
"Okay, it's a deal! Isn't it just sulfur? Although that thing is not used much, today every household in Lingnan will send someone to come. If you want it, I will ask you one by one!"
With this promise from Xiao Han, Boss Chen obviously regained his energy. He no longer looked like a dead mother before, but began to rush about in a hurry, almost urging Xiao Han to go out quickly.
