In the early morning, Xue Bai was taking a bath in a wooden bucket when he found Qing Lan peeking her head out from behind the screen.
"What's wrong?"
"Is Langjun's water cold?"
"No."
After doing this two or three times, he felt that this maid was not very honest. But when he was about to stand up and raised his hand, she blushed with embarrassment, turned around and ran away.
"Langjun is shameless..."
After a while, Xue Bai put on his spring clothes, and Qinglan came in holding a robe. She had regained her composure, her eyes were bright, and she didn't know what she was happy about.
"Huh? When I was packing my luggage, I didn't see the sachet given by Mrs. Guo Guo last time."
"The spices are very expensive. I put them in a box, otherwise the fragrance will escape."
Qing Lan turned around and went to get the sachet and hang it for Xue Bai.
She also understood where he was going today, so she couldn't help but whisper: "Mr. Lang, you should be careful when you go out. Her reputation is not very good."
"Well, I'll be careful."
After packing up, Xue Bai walked out of the house.
Du Wulang built a ladder and was building a nest for the magpies in the front yard, still humming softly.
"Wei Que has a nest, and Wei Jiu lives in it. When his son returns, Bailiang will guard it. Weique has a nest, and Weijiu will live in it. When his son returns, Bailiang will guard it..."
"What does this poem mean?"
"It's just like magpies building a nest. Someone is getting married, and a convoy comes to welcome her." Du Wulang got off the ladder, "Don't you even understand this?"
"I don't know who is getting married?"
"Alas." Du Wulang sighed inexplicably and asked, "Why did you ask me to wait for you to go out together? Where are we going?"
"Redemption." Xue Bai said: "You can help me with a few small favors. It looks dangerous today, but in fact, nothing will happen at all..."
The two discussed quietly for a while and then went out together.
~~
Xuanyangfang, Mrs. Guo’s Mansion.
Yang Yuyao has become increasingly unhappy recently.
Although the life experience she found for Xue Bai was not very good, the favor was entrusted after all. In the end, a word of thanks failed, and he kept putting off coming to visit.
"Tell the concierge not to let Xue Bai come in again. He really thinks he's too rich, and I'm not surprised..."
After making this arrangement, Yang Yuyao felt much happier, thinking that they would only have holidays with each other in the future and no longer have to look forward to him.
But before the maid could go far, the porter came to report that Xue Bai had been sitting in the teahouse outside the mansion for a long time.
Yang Yuyao couldn't help but become curious again, and finally couldn't hold it back and decided to go out and see him in person.
After the Shangyuan period, it is the rainy season. The clouds in the sky are heavy today, as if it is going to rain again, but the willows in Chang'an Street are sprouting new leaves, and the spring scenery is just right.
In a tea shop at the intersection of Xuanyangfang, two teenagers were sitting and sipping tea. One of them had a big face, small eyes, and a dull expression, which made the person next to him even more beautiful.
Xue Bai happened to turn around and saw Yang Yuyao, got up and walked this way.
"I've met Yao Niang."
Yang Yuyao looked him up and down, assumed a condescending attitude, and said calmly: "I see, you seem to have grown taller."
It has only been a few days since Shangyuan, and even if he has grown taller, it is not visible to the naked eye. It is just her pointing at him.
"I haven't seen Yao Niang for too long." Xue Bai immediately caught the key point and responded along with her topic.
"Oh, I tried so hard to help you, but I didn't even say thank you."
"I have wanted to come and thank you for a long time, but something unexpected happened."
"You don't know how to ask me for help when something happens." Yang Yuyao said displeased: "I think you are very stupid."
"Favors are precious. If I owe Yao Niang too much, I can't afford it."
"Do you want me to pay it back?"
At this point, when Yang Yuyao saw Xue Bai's serious expression, she suddenly felt that she understood him somewhat.
"I can solve this matter." Xue Bai said: "I wanted to come to see you today, but I learned that Xue Ling's creditor asked me to meet at Qingmen. I will go and deal with the matter first before coming back."
Yang Yuyao said: "I will go with you."
"Okay, but if you see that I don't have enough money, don't take action. Let me talk to the other party."
"Look what you said, I am also very poor." Yang Yuyao smiled and felt better for no reason.
Xue Bai discussed with her again, asking her not to bring the luxurious car, and asking her guards to change into ordinary clothes, so as not to scare away the casino owner and ruin Xue Ling's life.
The group set off, with Du Wulang following behind. They started chatting with the guards of Mrs. Guo's Mansion, first asking them where their hometown was, and then the conversation became more and more speculative...
~~
It's the time when Qingmen is nearing the feeding time, which is the busiest time in Qingmen.
Kangjia Restaurant, private room on the third floor.
Da Xi Yingying didn’t have any tea today, just a few light snacks.
"Madam, Xue Bai is coming this way, and this time he is really coming."
"Sure enough, he was pretending to be a dutiful son, and he came here after being exposed."
Da Xi Yingying tasted the pastries here and found that they were not delicious. She picked up a boiled egg and found that it was too hot, so she had to put it back on the table.
Turning around to look, Shi Zhong had brought Xue Ling in.
The bruises on Xue Ling's face faded some, and Da Xi Yingying immediately ordered someone to beat him up again. She was satisfied only after seeing how miserable he was.
"Xue Ling, do you know what to do after you go back?"
"I know." Xue Ling was beaten away from his previous arrogance, and kowtowed: "I will definitely find out who has raised Xue Bai all these years."
"Okay, after you find out, you can come to my casino to gamble." Da Xi Yingying said that she felt funny, covered her mouth and smiled, becoming more and more charming.
"Don't worry, madam, as long as you let me go, I will definitely find out."
Da Xi Yingying waved her hand, and the casino guards dragged Xue Ling down and brought her to the lobby to wait for Xue Bai to redeem her.
She then ordered Shi Zhong: "Go down and keep an eye on him. First, give him some power. When the situation is almost the same, bring Xue Bai up. I'll sell him a favor..."
~~
On the third floor, in the private room opposite, Pei Mian is standing behind the curtain looking out.
From his angle, he could just see the Ruyi Hall on the second floor.
There are three women and three children in the Ruyi Hall, namely Jiang Mao's wife and children, Jiang Hai's wife and daughter, and Lao Liang's sister. They are watched by four servants in green clothes.
In addition, Pei Mian also arranged many people in Kangjia Restaurant and near Qingmen Street.
This time he didn't bring Longyou soldiers, nor any weapons. Just some servants and rangers were enough. What he had to do was very simple, return them to Lao Liang and Jiang Hai's family; track them down; find another one.
Opportunity to silence.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The only thing he didn't understand was why Xue Bai made such a stupid move? Originally, the witness was well hidden, but the East Palace used a trap as a trap, but instead acted rashly, allowing him to seize the opportunity.
It can only be said that cleverness is mistaken for cleverness. Xue Bai thinks he is smart and likes to fish in troubled waters, but he does not know that the real strategy should be followed. Simple tracking can solve the problem.
"Coming."
Pei Mian had seen Xue Bai and a beautiful woman walking side by side.
He was not good at beauty, so when he saw the beautiful woman covering her face with a gauze, he guessed that she was the second wife of the Du family. Du Wulang came up behind, riding a horse and holding a box with one hand, which contained money to pay off debts.
After that, Pei Mian's eyes narrowed and he realized that there were some strong men around them...
~~
Xue Bai just walked into Kangjia Restaurant, and a drinker happened to bump into him, and he had a piece of writing paper in his hand.
It was given by Pei Mian, with only the words "Ruyi Hall on the second floor".
Xue Bai then took the wooden box containing the money from Du Wulang and handed the note to Du Wulang's hand.
"I will redeem the person first, you go ahead..."
"Rokuro, save me!"
Xue Bai turned around and saw Xue Ling with her hands and feet tied up and thrown into the lobby.
Several big men in black clothes who looked like casino guards sat there and asked loudly: "Xue Bai, have you brought the money to pay off your grandpa's debt?"
"Bring these."
Xue Bai placed the box on a table and opened it, revealing a box full of copper coins.
"Not enough. Xue Ling owes our proprietor five thousand guan. How much do you have?"
"I'm still scraping together the money, can I be accommodating for a little longer?"
"..."
When no one was paying attention, Du Wulang glanced at the note, walked up the stairs to the second floor with his head hunched, and knocked on the door of Ruyi Hall.
"Who?"
"I'll pick you up."
Someone opened the door, and four big men in Tsing Yi stood there.
"The little fat guy is here to pick me up, do you recognize him?"
"It's good that you didn't lie to anyone." Du Wulang said, "I took him away."
A big man in Tsing Yi grinned and said, "I just lied to you, how about that?"
Du Wulang was stunned.
The big men in Tsing Yi laughed loudly, took the six women and children out of the box, stood on the railing and looked towards the lobby.
~~
Private room on the third floor.
One of Pei Mian's confidants was standing by the window watching the passers-by on the street when he suddenly received a message.
He then turned around and said to Pei Mian: "Alang, Lao Liang, Jiang Hai is really here."
"Don't act rashly. Give them the people and just follow them."
"Here."
Soon, Du Wulang led the women and children towards the lobby downstairs.
Pei Mian continued to look when he suddenly saw a very charming woman walking out of the elegant room opposite.
Da Xi Yingying walked to the railing and gestured to Shi Zhong downstairs, indicating that he would bring Xue Bai up when he was almost done. She also saw Du Wulang leading people downstairs, and was a little surprised. When she looked up again, she saw the man on the opposite side.
The curtains in the private room moved slightly, becoming more and more strange.
In the lobby of the restaurant, Jiang Hai and Lao Liang couldn't help but look at Xue Bai with admiration, and quickly stepped forward to protect their children.
Du Wulang walked away calmly.
Jiang Hai and Lao Liang did not leave, but stood there with their families watching the excitement.
In the private room on the third floor, Pei Mian saw this scene and thought of the manpower brought by Xue Bai. He immediately reacted and ordered: "They want to create chaos and then escape..."
Pei Mian's confidants immediately gestured to the hidden stakes on the street.
In the lobby, Xue Bai was still bargaining with the black-clad guards of the casino, looking like a filial son who wanted to save his father but had insufficient financial resources.
"You can keep the money first, as long as you make sure not to hurt his life."
"Otherwise, will you sell Fengwei Building to me? I will partner with that beauty, Mrs. Guo Guo, hahaha!"
When Yang Yuyao saw that such a treacherous person dared to mention her, she couldn't help but get furious and stood up to scold her.
Shi Zhong was still stepping forward, saluting Xue Bai with his hands crossed as he walked, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Xue Langjun, a young man who came back from other places with his family master..."
Suddenly.
A drunkard with his face covered walked up behind the casino guards, stretched out his hand, grabbed a casino guard's hair, and slammed his head onto the table!
"Bang!"
The table was smashed into two pieces.
The masked drinker kicked his foot, and another table was kicked down. The box filled with copper coins flew out, and the coins scattered all over the floor, both inside and outside the restaurant.
Many people had gathered around to watch the excitement, and they immediately rushed forward to pick up money.
"Mine."
"It's my money..."
"Brother Xue! Brother is here to save you!"
The masked drinker shouted, took the opportunity to lift Xue Ling, and rushed to the back door.
The casino guards were furious and wanted to chase him immediately.
Jiang Hai grinned, and suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the two casino guards, and smashed their heads together, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the passage to the back door.
"Bang."
Lao Liang laughed loudly, but did not run away. He carried a table to protect the children.
"Don't let him escape, just take it!"
Four men in Tsing Yi ran down from the second floor and rushed towards Jiang Hai. In the restaurant and on the street, there were more than 20 men from Pei Mian trying to rush up.
"Stop them! They want to assassinate Mrs. Guo..."
Du Wulang had taken the opportunity to climb onto the counter and ordered the guards of Mrs. Guo's Mansion to attack Pei Mian's men.
All this happened in an instant, and even the parties did not have time to distinguish who was who.
It was chaos in the blink of an eye.
Yang Yuyao just stood up when there was a loud noise and sawdust flying in front of her eyes.
She was so frightened that she stepped back and almost fell.
In the chaos, someone reached out and hugged her tightly.
She looked up and saw Xue Bai's eyes that were calm and fearless in the face of danger.
"Let's go."
Xue Bai had already put his arm around her waist to help her up, held her hand, protected her and ran towards the backyard.
Ahead, Jiang Hai is fighting with a big man in Tsing Yi.
"Bang!"
The moment the big man in green was knocked to the ground by two punches, Xue Bai rushed past them with Yang Yuyao in his arms.
Another person caught up with him. Jiang Hai picked up a wine jar and slapped him on the head, blocking the passage again...
~~
After exiting the back door of Kang's Restaurant, there was an alley in front of them. The masked drunkard had beaten down many people and escaped with Xue Ling.
There were more casino guards chasing after them.
"Don't run!"
Xue Bai held Yang Yuyao's hand and ran very far.
"I...I can't run anymore..."
Yang Yuyao pulled Xue Bai to stop, panting constantly, and everyone leaned on his arms.
"We still have to go."
Xue Bai couldn't help but pick up her legs and pick her up across the waist.
Yang Yuyao let out a soft cry. She felt that she was not too light due to her long legs and big breasts. She didn't expect that he had such strength. She buried her head on his shoulder and finally calmed down in the panic.
This time she didn't run far, Xue Bai turned around the corner, pushed open a small door that wasn't closed, carried her into a small house, and put her down.
"Where is this?"
"I don't know, let's hide."
There was no one in this small courtyard. The two of them bolted the courtyard door, carefully walked through the flower and tree paths, found a slave room that seemed to have been unoccupied for a long time, sneaked in, and sat down in the corner together.
Yang Yuyao finally calmed down. Thinking back to the scene just now, she actually laughed softly. Although her voice was soft, her charm was not diminished.
Xue Bai turned around and saw that she was sweating slightly, and her fair face was flushed, making her smile even more charming.
The two looked at each other.
Yang Yuyao immediately thought of the time before the New Year, outside Fengwei Building, in her car, when Xue Bai suddenly kissed her on the forehead after saying that he did not want to recognize Yang Shenjin as his father.
She always remembered the tenderness at that time...
Memories came to mind, and the next moment, Xue Bai turned over and looked at her condescendingly.
During her run just now, her gorgeous shawl had fallen off, revealing her proud figure.
Yang Yuyao didn't say anything like "You come and serve me". She gave a long snort, stretched out her hand and hugged his neck.
The unfamiliar environment and the fear of danger made her feel uneasy, but also made her more willing to rely on the man in front of her.
But she was quite arrogant and murmured something in between.
"Come, sister, teach you..."
~~
Da Xi Yingying cracked open the egg, and a piece of eggshell fell off, revealing the crystal white inside.
In order to suppress the irritability in her heart, she peeled it off little by little patiently, and finally peeled it off completely, holding it in her hand, it was a little warm.
She opened her mouth and was about to eat when someone came in a hurry.
"Lady."
Da Xi Yingying stopped, took the newly peeled egg back into her hand, played with it, and asked: "Did you catch it?"
"Lost...lost..."
Da Xi Yingying frowned. She didn't understand why Xue Bai was so strong. He would rather go to war to rob her than owe her any favors.
"Lost?"
~~
Xue Bai actually didn't like Yang Yuyao's words "come and serve me" at that time, so he worked hard every day since January.
He would hold a heavy stone and squat deeply, feeling that his legs were swollen and numb, and his muscles seemed to be about to be broken. Sweat flowed out, and then dripped down his face.
"Ta."
"Ta."
Sweat drips on the black hair.
Yang Yuyao turned her head, but her face turned redder than before.
She was originally a high-ranking and arrogant lady of the Guo Kingdom, but now she is like a flower that cannot bear the spring rain.
~~
Kangjia Restaurant.
The ground was full of people holding their heads, moaning, and rolling around.
Pei Mian frowned, left the private room, walked around the railing, and observed the situation in the lobby.
What surprised him the most was that Lao Liang and Jiang Hai just stood there as if nothing had happened, not escaping at all. Soon his people would be able to catch them... they might as well just silence them and try to settle the case with a drunken brawl. p>
Suddenly.
"Who assassinated Mrs. Guo?!"
Following this roar, a team of Jinwu Guards arrived, and a general entered the hall with his sword in his hand and roared angrily.
"General Guo."
Du Wulang raised his hand and pointed, shouting: "Those people are the murderers who want to assassinate Mrs. Guo... Also, it is these two heroes who protected Mrs. Guo!"
Pei Mian opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
Today, he calculated everything but missed the woman next to Xue Bai.
Only then did he realize that Xue Bai's plan was actually very simple. He wanted to return to Laoliang and hide Jiang Hai's family members in Mrs. Guo's house for protection, that's all.
Xue Baicai was not afraid that he would send people to follow him, and Dong Palace did not dare to fall out with Third Aunt Yang.
Pei Mian knew that the only thing he could do at the moment was to make everyone deny the assassination of Mrs. Guo. This was just an ordinary drunken brawl and could not be turned into a major case.
"Damn."
He cursed softly, and then suddenly thought of what Xue Bai said, "We can cooperate with Donggong", and couldn't help but feel more confused.
"Xue Bai, how can you be so sure that Third Aunt Yang can trust you and protect you? Are you really colluding?"
~~
The rain is still falling.
This is a rainy season, even the name is called rain.
In the courtyard, a flower swayed in the wind and rain, looking quite pitiful.
It is exactly "the horizontal bridge of Qingyin Chi Pavilion, which is so charming in the rain and the slight cold."
……
The sky gets darker little by little, and Chang'an's dusk drum sounds again.
In the hut, the two runners who came over were still panting.
"Can you still walk?"
"No," Yang Yuyao said with a flushed face, "I have no strength..."
"Then take a rest before leaving." Xue Bai also tried his best, sweating profusely.
"You." After Yang Yuyao rested, she frowned and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "You dared to pretend to be young in front of me before, but it turns out that you have had many women."
"What? You think I'm dirty?"
Xue Bai stopped stroking her hair, stood up, and got dressed.
Yang Yuyao said: "I didn't say that..."
"I am not your face to begin with. I have my own ambitions, and I cannot make you happy in my house every day."
Yang Yuyao looked at his back, feeling arrogant in her heart. She was angry and reluctant to give up. Finally, she saw that he was about to stand up, but she still couldn't help but stretched out her legs to hook his waist and pull him back.
"When did you say that you are my face? Are you afraid that people will not know that you are arrogant? Come to my house. I have something to tell you."
"Is something really wrong?"
Yang Yuyao smiled and said: "Do you know that those people today are not here for you?"
"Huh?"
"Mobilizing so many people is not just for you? That woman has always been at odds with me."
"Do you know who it is?"
Yang Yuyao smiled mysteriously and said: "You go to my house and I will tell you..."
~~
The sound of evening drums has stopped, but there are still people walking near Qingmen.
Jiang Hai and Lao Liang looked up at the elegant room of the restaurant, grinning and showing their teeth. They knew that Pei Mian was there, and they had no scruples and dared to risk their lives for revenge at any time; p>
Guo Qianli sent someone to escort the two righteous men who rescued Mrs. Guo Guo and their children to Mrs. Guo's house. He himself was going to find Mrs. Guo. He knew that Xue Langjun would give him a reward;
A carriage left the Chunming Gate before the city gate closed and reached the fork of the official road. Tian Shengong carried Xue Ling and threw it to the two old farmers waiting there. He told him not to kill the person. He knew that Lang Jun didn't have time.
Keep filial piety;
The Fengwei Building was closed, and the Du family brothers and sisters did not have time to rush back to Du's house. Du Jin climbed up to the small pavilion, looked at the fire at the Qingmen, and raised her head proudly. She arranged all this today, although there was one
She was still unhappy about the incident, but she knew that without the protection of the Yang sisters, they would still be in danger.
But one day, they will not need shelter...
