Chapter 344 Chu Xianping made the wrong payment again?
Dafeng, Jianchang Mansion.
Just when Wei Changtian repeatedly wondered whether what he had done as a time traveler was a failure, Bai Youheng, who was far away in an inn in Jianchang Fucheng, was holding a piece of jade in his hand, with a gloomy expression.
Du Chang's information was correct. The watchman who ran to Zuichun Building in recent days was indeed Bai Youheng's subordinate.
Chu Xianping and Wei Changtian's guess was correct. Everything was actually a test by Bai Youheng.
He deliberately made the watchman do some abnormal behavior to verify whether the "intelligence" he had learned before was a conspiracy against him.
But now five days have passed, and the watchman is still safe and sound.
In Bai Youheng's view, there are only two explanations for this situation.
Either the enemy was too incompetent and did not notice such a detail.
Either it is true that "Wei Changtian already has a way to find Yama" and it is not a trap to lure the Gu Eagle to show up.
Bai Youheng naturally didn't believe that Wei Changtian was so stupid.
What's more, the latter also has Chu Xianping who can detect Pei Dajun's abnormality.
So...they can actually find the Gu Eagle?
Thinking of this, Bai Youheng's expression couldn't help but become even more ugly.
Since he entered Dafeng via a detour from Longzhou, it will take at least seven or eight days before he returns to Fengyuan.
And if you can't find out what Wei Changtian is going to do and deal with it... then this period of time will be enough for the other party to kill the Gu Eagle several times.
Bai Youheng is a very suspicious person.
The advantage of such a personality is that he is very vigilant, takes one step at a time and sees three steps at a time, and rarely puts himself in danger.
But the downside is that once he is in danger, his hesitation may become a fatal flaw.
Even if this dangerous situation is actually fake.
"..."
The moon was pale and would be obscured by dark clouds from time to time, making it dim and thin outside the window.
Bai Youheng sat at the table for a long time, and then finally made up his mind.
Pinch your fingers and slowly close your eyes.
A few dozen breaths later, a black shadow floated on the surface of a small, inaccessible lake in Fengyuan City.
This black shadow obviously floated up from the bottom of the water, but strangely there was no ripple on the surface of the lake, and the crescent moon in the water was intact.
A few fish swam under the shadow, seeming to be curious about what they were.
But before they could see clearly, the latter silently shot towards the small woods by the lake.
The dense trees blocked the moonlight and the fish's sight.
It wasn't until dozens of breaths later that a man in white hurriedly walked out of the forest.
He walked very quickly, and soon he was completely gone.
But there were no footprints or traces left on the soft soil behind him.
...
...
The next morning, Zuichun Tower.
When Song Li slowly opened her eyes, she felt as if she had had a long, long dream.
Last night...I met a young master.
Not only did he not touch him, he also asked about his life experience.
I felt so desolate at that time that I actually threw myself into someone's arms and started crying.
Then...the memory ended abruptly the moment another young man pushed the door open and walked in.
So what happened after that?
Why did I suddenly fall asleep?
"ah!"
With a soft cry, Song Li hurriedly opened the quilt to check if her clothes were still there.
As she moved, two pages of tissue paper placed beside the pillow were picked up by the wind and fell to her hand.
"This is......"
Song Li picked up the two pages in confusion and was immediately stunned.
She was illiterate, and Zui Chunlou did not teach her "playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting" as the old bustard said.
But she would be able to recognize one of the pieces of paper until her death.
Because there are her bright red fingerprints on the paper.
It’s my own contract of betrayal!
"Why, why?"
Surprised and doubtful, Song Li had no time to worry about anything else at the same time. After regaining her senses, she immediately got out of bed, even forgetting to put on her shoes. She clutched the thin paper in her hand and ran towards the door.
As luck would have it, the door was gently pushed open at this moment.
"Um?"
The madam who leaned in looked up and bumped into the flustered Song Li. Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of the latter's bare feet from the corner of his eye:
"Ouch! My aunt! Why are you running around with bare feet? What will you do if you catch a cold?"
"Quick! Go put your shoes on before you talk!"
"..."
Her mother, who had pricked her with a needle yesterday, was actually concerned about whether she would catch a cold today. The madam's 180-degree change in attitude made Song Li freeze in place.
The madam didn't feel embarrassed. Seeing that Song Li didn't move, she simply walked to the bed and brought the embroidered shoes over, and then placed them at Song Li's feet diligently.
"Miss Song, please put on your shoes quickly."
"you you......"
Song Li's eyes suddenly widened: "You called me Miss Song?"
"oops!"
The old bustard smiled flatteringly: "Miss Song, you are now white, so of course our family can no longer call you by that fancy name."
"I, am I white?"
"Can we still lie to you?"
The madam's smile became even wider: "The young man who was in your room yesterday has redeemed himself for you!"
"He, he ransomed himself for me?"
"Yes, isn't the deed of sale returned to the girl? The young master also left a silver note for you."
"Here, is this a banknote?"
"..."
As if she were a repeater, Song Li repeated the old bustard's words sentence by sentence. After a long time, she gradually accepted the reality that "she was free."
If this happened to other brothel girls, what would be left after the surprise would be ecstasy.
But there was something wrong with Song Li's expression now.
There is joy and there is sadness.
"Mom, where is that gentleman?"
After hesitating for a long time, she put on her shoes silently and asked softly: "Where should I go to find him?"
"We don't know that."
The old bustard repeated Chu Xianping's words truthfully: "He only said to wait for Miss Song to wake up and leave on her own."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "He, he never asked me to find him?" Song Li opened her mouth slightly.
"Indeed."
The old bustard guessed what Song Li was thinking, so he explained with a smile: "In our opinion, the young master must have done a good deed when he saw that you were pitiful about the girl."
"..."
The red clouds spread over the window sill, and the fiery morning sun made Song Li's cheeks blush.
All the "sadness" in his eyes disappeared, and this time the only thing left was "joy".
"I, I understand!"
...
An hour later, north of Fengyuan City.
There were no bluestones in the dilapidated alley, and mud splashed up, leaving many black spots on the women's exquisitely embroidered shoes and long skirts.
However, the woman didn't care about it at all. She just picked up her skirt and trotted all the way to a dilapidated courtyard, then excitedly knocked on the door of the courtyard and shouted:
"Brother Liu! Open the door!"
"It's me! I'm back!"
"Dong dong dong!"
"Dong dong dong dong!"
"..."
The shouts and knocks on the door were full of joy and excitement, but there was still no movement on the other side of the door.
The woman was a little confused, but she just assumed that the person inside the door happened to be out on business, so she gathered her skirt and sat down on the stone next to her to wait for the person to come back.
But not long after she sat down, a man's voice suddenly came from the door.
"You, are you Li'er?"
"it's me!"
When the woman heard the noise, she immediately stood up from the stone and shouted joyfully: "Brother Liu, open the door! I'm back!"
"..."
The tattered courtyard door was still tightly closed, and the man inside the door hesitated for a long time before finally hesitating and saying with Song Li full of expectation:
"Li, Li'er, go back."
"You, don't blame Brother Liu for being ruthless, it's just that I can't offend Zuichunlou..."
