Chapter 135 Meeting

Night shrouded the entire city, and Jiangnan, which was still noisy and lively during the day, was now peaceful and quiet, and not a single sound could be heard.

Jiang Huan, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped out of bed and carefully checked that there was no one else outside his house.

At this time, she carefully put on her night clothes, put on her veil, and quietly pushed out the door.

Because this villa is a temporary residence, although there are domestic slaves living there on weekdays, after all, Chen Ruyi mostly lived in seclusion when she lived here, and she did not want others to discover the true identity of the residents here, so there was no

Arrange for guards to be stationed.

The guards who usually followed Chen Ruyi didn't know where to rest. The whole courtyard was quiet and only the sound of Jiang Huan's footsteps could be heard.

Jiang Huan carefully walked through the corridor, climbed up the wall with agility, and climbed over the wall with a push of both hands.

At night, there was only an old man walking on the Jiangnan connecting road, and not a single lamp was lit anywhere else.

Jiang Huan's figure blended into the street. She shuttled through the streets according to the palm-sized map. When she arrived at her destination, there was already a figure waiting there.

"Yue Mingren has not returned yet." The man said softly.

Jiang Huan also replied, "Let's meet at the third watch."

After meeting the code, the man slowly walked out of the darkness and said respectfully, "I've met the owner."

The connector was a young girl with a fresh appearance, a pretty face, and she was so tender that she could squeeze out water.

Compared to the mature and charming matchmaker, the little girl in front of her looks more like an inexperienced little girl. She doesn't look like a contact person arranged by Zuihonglou.

The little girl probably noticed Jiang Huan's confusion and couldn't help but smile and said, "Master, please don't look at me like this. The slave family is actually already twenty-seven."

Twenty-seven?

Jiang Huan's eyes widened in astonishment. The little girl in front of her looked like a young girl with haircuts, no matter from her appearance or figure.

"The slave family is a famous businessman in the south of the Yangtze River and owns a silk and satin shop. This time, Sister Matchmaker asked me to assist the owner in destroying the main pipeline. I have already made arrangements." The girl had already pulled out the map from her sleeve as she spoke.

He came out and handed it to Jiang Huan.

All the major pipelines in Jiangnan are marked on this map, and some of the ones that need to be destroyed have been highlighted.

"Once these pipes are damaged, it will take at least seven days to repair them. Has the owner thought about it?" The girl asked again as if to confirm.

Seven days were enough for the people in Jiangnan to fall into floods.

It would be a lie to say that she is not worried. After all, this girl has lived in Jiangnan for a long time and her roots are rooted in Jiangnan.

She certainly didn't want to see Jiangnan trapped in the flood, but more than this, she had to obey Zuihonglou's orders.

"I've taken care of it, you don't have to worry." Jiang Huan murmured.

She returned the map to the girl, and then pulled up the brim of her hat. Her whole body was covered by the night, and her original appearance could not be seen at all.

Jiang Huan raised his eyes and glanced at the sky. The moist wind was blowing against his face, and a heavy rain was coming soon.

Soon.

"Go and get ready, the time is coming." Jiang Huan ordered in a low voice.

The girl's figure disappeared into the thick darkness of the night, and there was no trace of her again, as if she had never been there.

One drop, two drops, cold raindrops fell, Jiang Huan opened her palms, and the raindrops began to grow in size, hitting Jiang Huan's palm one after another, quickly making her palms wet.

Jiang Huan watched all this quietly, as if all these things had nothing to do with her.

She didn't know that after tonight, her life would be completely turned upside down, completely deviating from her original imagination, and heading towards an unknown direction.

These are things for later.

-next day

The rain fell suddenly and violently. In one night, the rain had already wilted the flower bones in the courtyard.

When Jiang Huan got up from the bed, the housekeeper was looking at his precious flowers and plants with a sad face, his heartache was written all over his face.

The flowers and plants he had spent so much effort cultivating were now mostly destroyed by the heavy rain, which made him feel really bad.

Jiang Huan held an oil-paper umbrella and shouted to the housekeeper, "Butler, don't get wet in the rain. You'll get cold by then. You'd better come back quickly to wash yourself and change into clean clothes!"

Now that Jiang Huan spoke, the housekeeper could not refuse any more.

He wiped the mist from the corners of his eyes that was either rain or tears, hurriedly put the last layer of raincloth on the flowers and plants, and then hurried to the corridor.

Jiang Huan hurriedly handed the dry towel to the housekeeper, and then looked at the flowers and plants that were damaged by the rain with distress, and sighed with pity, "I have pity on these flowers and plants. You cultivated them so beautifully, but now they are

There aren’t many left alive.”

The housekeeper gave a long sigh, his eyes were red, "It's all my fault. Yesterday, I obviously felt that the air was moist, but I didn't take it seriously. It rained heavily this night, and by the time I realized it, it was already wet.

This is what it has become.”

The housekeeper said, sighing and taking out a pot of plum blossoms from his arms.

This plum blossom was robbed of a small plant and brought back. Although it had no roots, it still bloomed brilliantly and lovably.

Jiang Huan was also unable to move his eyes away from the sight, and couldn't help but praise, "Although this red plum has no roots, it still blooms so well. Could it be that you used some trick?"

But the housekeeper shook his head, and like a magic trick, he transferred the red plum to another pot of soil on the porch.

For a moment, the red plum blossoms that were blooming just now withered instantly.

When Jiang Huan was surprised, the housekeeper quickly planted the red plum back into the pot in his arms.

I saw that the red plums that had withered just now were actually full of life again, like a new life.

It's like the one that withered just now is not it at all.

"This red plum absorbs the special nutrients of the soil and grows together. It is interdependent with the soil. No matter who is separated from the other, it will be difficult to survive. If symbiosis is required, only the two will always be connected and inseparable."

As the housekeeper explained, he handed the basin to Jiang Huan to look at.

The soil and the red plums looked the same as ordinary things, but when Jiang Huan looked carefully, he could see that the red plums had no roots. Where they were supposed to take root, now there were only a few strips.

The transparent silk threads are pierced into the soil and stretching downwards, as if they are tools to absorb nutrients from the soil.
