"Is it for this?" Tuoba Yun took out a portrait from his sleeve, "My sister-in-law Jian Xiao is really a one-in-a-million top-notch woman. She can actually make the entire Biga Kingdom and the Jianghu want to arrest her.
Is she okay?"
"I sent her to a place where she can't come out easily," Tuo Jinglie said. "Now I want to put an end to this matter."
"Brother, are you thinking of killing the second princess?" Tuoba Yun could read Tuo Jinglie's thoughts at a glance.
Tuo Jinglie nodded, "Otherwise Jian Xiao will never live in peace for the rest of her life. We must get rid of this culprit." He looked at Tuoba Yun, "So I'll take a look at you before coming here this time!"
"What do you want me to do?" Tuoba Yun said, "Weapons, money, information, or do you want me to go with you? As long as my brother doesn't think Yun'er is a cripple..."
"Hey! It depends on what you said! We are brothers." Tuo Jinglie interrupted Tuoba Yun, "I won't use anything this time. I am very familiar with the palace of Bijia Kingdom. The second princess is just a knife and a dart."
I'm here to see you. After this matter is dealt with, Jian Xiao and I will retire. If we don't get involved in these matters anymore, it's better to leave the Tuoba family's affairs to you and Boken." Tuo Jinglie looked at his
Brother, "You're not young anymore. It's time to find a daughter from a good family. Just find one. This way I can save my worries."
Tuoba Yun smiled, "How can there be so many daughters from good families? By the way, brother, I have been making darts for you. They are made of pure steel. They are easy to carry and light. You can use them this time."
Tuo Jinglie nodded, "Zhang Qin on the other side of Liangyan Mountain, you have to be more careful, especially that little girl Minlan, you have to keep her safe no matter what."
"Minlan? Boken said that he looks very much like his dead mother..." Tuoba Yun suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Could it be...?"
Tuo Jinglie smiled slightly, "I'm leaving first! Yun'er, please take care of yourself!"
In Liangyan Mountain, Jian Xiao came to the small courtyard where she came last time. The door of the small courtyard was closed and no one seemed to be coming in or out. Thinking that after being exposed last time, Tuo Jinglie once said that he wanted to change a place for Zhang Qin and the others to live. Could it be that they have already moved?
gone?
Jian Xiao saw a big tree outside the courtyard. Only some yellowing leaves were left on it, but it was still considered dense. Although it was far away from the small courtyard, standing on it, one could vaguely see the people inside.
She just wants to see Min Lan, her own flesh and blood. She doesn't know if she can come back safely after going to Jingzhou. It's okay to see her daughter, but it's a worry.
Jian Xiao was gearing up for the big tree. She hadn't climbed a tree in a while. She didn't know if she was new to this skill. Jian Xiao hugged her legs and kept going up with friction. It was really because she was new to it. Jian Xiao felt that
My arms were about to be unable to support my body, but the thought that I could see Minlan as long as I went up gave me motivation.
Walking up with her feet alternately, Jian Xiao stretched out her arms to grab a thicker branch, used her strength to pull up, and she went up. Jian Xiao stood on the branch of the tree, panting heavily before she stood up.
Determined, she stretched her neck and looked down
The yard was very quiet. Jian Xiao waited for a long time but no one came. After a while, the door curtain was lifted and Min Lan walked out with a small basin of water. The threshold was a bit high and Min Lan stumbled.
"Be careful!" Jian Xiao blurted out in excitement, and stepped out with her own feet, almost falling off the tree.
Min Lan seemed to have heard the sound, and looked around the yard, "Auntie... is that you?" Min Lan raised her voice and shouted.
Jian Xiao felt her eyes were sore, but she couldn't show up. After hearing Minlan's greeting, Wan Yun walked out with her child in her arms, "What's wrong? Is your aunt here?"
Minlan shook her head, "Minlan seemed to hear someone talking just now. The voice was the same as the auntie's. She thought it was the auntie."
Wan Yun touched Minlan's head and said, "If I knew you cared about her so much, I would be happy!"
Min Lan looked up at the sky and suddenly shouted, "Mom... Min Lan misses you, please take care of yourself!"
Hearing this, Jian Xiao's tears instantly flowed down. "Minlan, Mom misses you too." Jian Xiao said softly, "Mom, I'm sorry for you!" After saying that, Jian Xiao turned her face away, unable to bear to look at her daughter any longer.
glance
When Jian Xiao turned around again, the courtyard was quiet again. Jian Xiao let out a long sigh. Many people gathered together on the street in the distance. It seemed that no matter how busy they were, Jian Xiao had no interest in it. She just came down from the tree and thought.
Find a place to rest
Since Liangyan Mountain is located on the border, most of the guests who come and go do not care about others. Therefore, although Jian Xiao's wanted notice is hung on the notice board, no one cares about it at all, which makes Jian Xiao quite proud.
She walked into the only inn in Liangyan Mountain. There were several carriages parked in front of the door. Several Turkic-looking people were feeding the horses and unloading the goods. There were many boxes on the carriages, which were locked and seemed to be very valuable.
Jian Xiao saw the shopkeeper and shouted: "Shopkeeper, come to a room!"
The shopkeeper smiled shyly and said, "Oh, lady, I'm so sorry. Our place has just been filled with those few customers, so we can't accept any more customers."
Jian Xiao looked outside and then at the size of the inn, "It's just a few people, so many rooms? Shopkeeper, I'm leaving tomorrow. I wonder if you can be accommodating?"
"This..." The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed.
"Shopkeeper," Jian Xiao took out the money, "How can I, a weak woman, cause so much trouble? Even if the firewood shed and kitchen can accommodate me for one night, I am alone and cannot sleep on the street? Besides, listen,
He said there are bandits in Liangyan Mountain, little girl... Hey, just do it!" Jian Xiao blinked her big eyes, looking pitiful.
The shopkeeper looked at Jian Xiao, a weak woman like him, who was really pitiful, and sighed, "How about this? I'll go talk to those people and see if we can be accommodating?"
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper!" Jian Xiao smiled.
The shopkeeper said something to the Turkic man and pointed at Jian Xiao. Jian Xiao quickly saluted and the Turkic man nodded quickly.
"Miss, you're lucky. They agreed to give you a room. However, this room was renovated from our former wine cellar. It's a little damp and," the shopkeeper added, "they asked you, miss, to stay there no matter what happens."
You are in the house, you are not allowed to go in or out, and you have to leave early tomorrow morning. We will send you food. Do you agree?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just one night," Jian Xiao readily agreed.
Jian Xiao's room is at the corner of the first floor. Since it used to be a wine cellar, it is relatively ventilated from all sides. Fortunately, it is not winter. Jian Xiao thought to herself. She looked around the room and found that there were vague steps removed at the corner of the room.
Jian Xiao looked up and saw that there was a spot on the ceiling that was a different shade of color from the others.
All inns will have similar mechanisms, but I don’t know where this place will lead? Forget it, I’m just staying here for a night, why do I think so much?
There was the sound of the door closing from outside. Jian Xiao looked outside. It was still early in the day, so the door was closed so early? I really don't know who booked the inn.
