Chapter 41 Chapter 1 First Encounter

A ray of sunlight leaked into the black lobby of the Salt Gang Hangzhou Headquarters. "Who are you?" The little girl's eyes widened, and she took a step forward. The pink gauze dress on her body was already crumpled, and the pink ribbon tied on her head was also untied. Her hair was disheveled and hanging on her shoulders, a little dirty. The big eyes on Xi's small face were as bright as spring water in March, full of surprise and amazement. She didn't get an answer, and the person she questioned frowned slightly. "Do I know you? Who are you?" The little girl opened her eyes wider and took another step.

When she walked to the table, her head was still leaning forward, and her pair of bright eyes were almost pressed against other people's faces: "You look really good-looking." Wei Xichen, the third head of the Salt Gang, cleared his throat and said, "Young Master, I don't know who you want to redeem, but this girl?" "Thank you, Third Master. The one I want to redeem is indeed this girl." The young man who was stared at by the little girl turned his head to Wei Xichen, and said with a smile, he bit the word "really" a little bit hard , I don't know why, but there was a bit of gnashing of teeth in that slow voice.

"Not only are you good-looking..." the little girl sighed again to herself, and for so long, she never moved her eyes from the young man's face, "You have a really nice voice... as if the wind blows from you It's like blowing through the pine forest... tell me a few more words!" "It's just this girl." Wei Xichen laughed. "You want to redeem me?" The little girl finally finished her sighs, and began to care about her own affairs, "It's great, I can finally get out of this bloody place where no shit or chicken is laid..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly received a thump on her forehead. The young man withdrew his hand, his expression still calm: "Girls, don't speak so rudely."

The little girl was stunned by the knock, she covered her forehead and looked at him. After following the young man out of the gate of the Salt Gang General Assembly, the little girl remained silent. A few days ago, she was caught and locked up in the prison of the Salt Gang because she had a few words with the members of the Salt Gang on the pier. Waiting left and right, finally the rescuer came, but it was someone she had never seen before. At this time, she was walking in silence, scratching her hair, scratching her arms from time to time, and even touched twice on the forehead that had been knocked by the young man.

"You..." After walking a long distance, the young man finally stopped, sighed almost inaudibly, and turned around, "Are you okay?" The little girl saw him turn around and ask herself, her eyes lit up, but she asked a barrage of questions: "Who the hell are you? How did you know I was locked up there? Why did you pay so much money to redeem me? Did you My brother's friend? Have we met before? Why don't I know your name? Can you tell me your name? Okay?" The young man looked at her shining eyes, and he didn't know whether it was amused or angry, but he actually raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It seems that you are very good with the interest and strength to care about so many issues."

"That's not good!" The little girl retorted immediately, "I haven't bathed for five days! I haven't eaten meat for five days! Those people gave me cabbage, green vegetables, tofu..." She said, stealing Glancing at the young man's face, seeing that there was no change in his expression, he continued to smile, "Hey, take me to eat something delicious, open an inn and give me a bath... All the money I have on me will be given to the Yan Gang. People took it." The young man sized her up and nodded, "Would you like to eat first, or take a bath first?"

"Eat!" the little girl replied without hesitation, and then continued, "I want the crystal dumplings with crab roe from Wufenglou, the duck feet with distilled wine and steamed lion head from Changyi Pavilion, and the sauce from Qingyiyuan." Fragrant pork ribs, by the way, and the rose rice wine soup from Qiyuelou, tell them not to make it so sweet, I have to tell them several times every time..." She paused, and then carefully glanced at the young man who was listening quietly , swallowed, "That's all..." The young man waited for her to finish, and nodded lightly: "Then find an inn to stay in first, and then let these places send people to deliver the food."

Seeing that he was responsive to her requests, the little girl snickered a little, she was in a good mood, and smiled and raised her head to the young man: "Although you may already know it, I still have to say, my name is Ling Cangcang, you can call me Cangcang, your name yes?" She circled around a lot, as if her mind had been distracted long ago, and the last question unexpectedly came back here. The young man glanced at her quietly. The expression on his face was already pale, but now it was so pale that nothing could be seen. After a moment of silence, he said, "Xiao Huan, my name is Xiao Huan."

He spoke very softly, and his tone was the same as before, without any change. Cang Cang's eyes slowly widened, her back straightened up, and the smile on her mouth gradually disappeared. She frowned her two thick eyebrows, and tentatively asked, "Are you...that Xiao Huan?" "Dawu should not have a second Xiao Huan." The young man sighed softly, a smile flashed across his bottomless pupils, and the corners of his mouth raised a little, "If you like, you can call me Xiao Huan." Brother, I don't mind." Cang Cang didn't speak, just stared at his face like a flower blooming on his face.

"Don't!" Cang Cang yelled suddenly, her face flushed red, she couldn't tell whether it was shame or anxiety, "I don't want to call you Brother Xiao!" "You..." Cang Cang stuttered for the first time in his life, "Why are you that Xiao Huan!" Ling Cangcang has known only one Xiao Huan in his lifetime. That Xiao Huan was always far away from her, that Xiao Huan's face was always blocked behind the blue-purple-red official robe, that Xiao Huan seldom spoke, and even if he did speak, she seldom heard clearly sound. The Qianqing Palace is too big, and the white marble steps outside the Qianqing Palace are too long. She is just a minister's family member, and she has never been far away from that noble throne. She has never had the opportunity to look closely at Xiao Huan's face—she has never What interest to pay close attention to.

Cang Cang looked at Xiao Huan in front of him in a somewhat dispirited manner. He was very close to her now, so close that she could count the long and dense eyelashes on his slightly drooping eyelids one by one, and she could also clearly see her unkempt face. His face was reflected in his overly dark eyes. The Xiao Huan in front of her raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and smiled lightly: "If you don't want to bark, then don't bark." It's nothing, in fact it's nothing, it's just a young lady who ran away from home to resist getting married, and found that this person she had a good impression of him happened to be her fiancé who came to arrest her. The eldest lady just felt that she was a bit like a thief who was caught on the spot, but it was nothing. Besides, it is impossible for the caught thief to have so many delicious things to eat. I want the crab roe and crystal dumplings from Wufenglou, the duck feet and steamed lion heads from Changyige, the pork ribs with sauce from Qingyiyuan, and the rose rice wine soup from Qiyuelou, all lined up on the table superior. Cang Cang put her head down and stuffed something into her mouth. She ate fiercely and her eyes were not too bad. While sweeping the food on the table, she did not forget to glance at Xiao Huan from time to time. It stands to reason that after knowing Xiao Huan's identity, no matter whether she is outside the palace or not, she should immediately kneel down and kowtow. But the person opposite...he first knocked her on the head very rudely, and then asked her to call him Brother Xiao, since he is so casual, then she can save trouble, kneeling on the ground hurts a lot of. In fact, Cang Cang not only saves trouble, but also easily forgets about the ceremony of monarch and minister, and completely forgets that the look of her eyes on Xiao Huan's face at this moment is enough to make her head drop many times. Xiao Huan was sitting opposite her, facing this resentful gaze, he didn't seem to pick up the chopsticks to grab food from her who was devouring her hungrily, but just lowered his eyes and casually picked up the pot of wine in front of him and poured himself a drink . What he drank was a pot of bamboo leaf green, it was not warm, and it was not a good wine. Cang Cang thought that if he drank, he would definitely drink the most expensive wine. She even imagined that when he waved his hand, two black shadows would jump out of some unknown shadow, holding a bag in his hand specially transported from the capital. The fine wine that comes over is packed in a jade pot, and even the wine is floating with that kind of noble light. Unexpectedly, after explaining the dishes she wanted to the waiter at the inn, he added casually: "Bring a pot of wine, Zhuyeqing." When the waiter in the shop asked him what kind of green bamboo leaves he wanted, he gave a simpler answer: "Anything is fine." After the wine came, he slowly poured the light green liquid into the wine glass, and then sipped slowly, although the smile that never faded from the corner of his mouth was still there, the expression on his face was light, It was so pale that, together with his light blue gown, it was about to melt into the white sunlight. Cang Cang took a mouthful of food, raised his head and stared at him, finally couldn't bear it, and threw away his chopsticks: "I don't like you!" Xiao Huan raised his eyes to look at her, and smiled: "So what?" He actually answered so calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, Cang Cang became even more angry, and stared at him with wide eyes: "I don't like you, why do you want me to marry you? I don't want to marry you!" Xiao Huan also looked at her, and still smiled: "I know you don't want to marry me, otherwise you wouldn't have left a book and left. But this matter is not up to me, and there is not much room for negotiation." Cang Cang choked for a moment, knowing that what he said was still very polite. Their marriage was the will of the first emperor, that is to say, under the scorching eyes of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, unless Dawu perished or the first emperor revoked this order again, they would get married regardless of whether the two parties wanted it or not. She happened to be the daughter of Ling Xuefeng, the chief minister of the cabinet, and he happened to be the emperor of the Great Wu Empire. Maybe even Cang Cang didn't realize it, her two bushy eyebrows frowned, and her tone was very bad: "I won't like you!" "Really?" The person in front of her, who was supposed to stay in the forbidden palace at the moment, still smiled with a gentle tone, "Come back with me, Mr. Ling is very anxious." The July breeze blows in gently and warmly through the open window, Cang Cang stares fiercely at the person in front of him, finally loses his battle at the corner of the mouth that is always slightly raised, and lies down on the table discouraged: "Why do you look so good...why do you always laugh?" The door of the room slammed twice, and Fang Yuan, the imperial bodyguard Gu Xingying, who was dressed in a black suit, came in silently, walked to the table and clasped his fists: "My lord, the carriage is ready. May I ask you, my lord, and Ms. Ling?" When are you leaving for Beijing?" Cang Cang suddenly sat up straight, raised his head and looked at Xiao Huan: "I was wrong just now, you are so ugly!" After hearing the bad news about going back to Beijing, Cang Cang was in a bad mood. Therefore, when she was pulled into the carriage, she muttered enough curses at the indifferent man sitting opposite her.Then when she didn't know how many times she said "Only the old lady and the old man will take a carriage" with a very contemptuous look, the person over there finally sighed softly and said: "Run away when you are not prepared. It would be much easier to ride a horse." Cang Cang was completely speechless. After staring at Xiao Huan with hatred for a while, she finally nodded with a sudden realization: "You are not in good health and can't ride a horse, are you? The palace has always said that you have been weak since you were a child." After speaking, go up and down Take a look, "I hate sick people the most." Shi En added the same summary, "Forget it, since this is the case, let's take a carriage." The person who was favored made a smile at the corner of his mouth without knowing how to be grateful: "Then thank you for being considerate of me?" "No need!" No matter how heartless Cang Cang was, he could tell that he was not sincerely grateful, and angrily pulled an embroidered pillow from the side, put it under his head, and simply lay down on the small table beside him and went to sleep. She was locked in the cell for a few days, and she was already a little tired after taking a bath, but she fell asleep quickly due to the bumps of the carriage. She slept soundly and had a lot of dreams. When she woke up from a sudden and huge bump in the carriage, the surroundings were already dark. In the chaos, Xiao Huan grabbed her body that was rushing forward, and she quickly supported her head: "What's wrong?" "Someone is ambushing." After a short pause, Xiao Huan replied. "There's an assassin!" Cang Cang yelled immediately, and suddenly turned over and jumped up from the seat, pinching Xiao Huan's shoulder and pushing him against the wall of the car, "Someone must have known your identity and came to assassinate you!" your!" She continued in one breath: "Look, look, what are you doing here? Did you let the bad guys keep an eye on you? Are those two people outside effective? That class Fang Yuan is really good, you kind Jiao Didi, who has no strength to restrain a chicken, can't even ride a horse, why didn't he arrange a few more guards to follow? This is terrible! Or does he think that I can do martial arts and expect me to protect you? Ah, don't be afraid , It’s okay, in fact, my martial arts are not bad, so I shouldn’t have any problem protecting you.” Apart from the two of them in this carriage, there were also two people from the imperial guard Gu Xingying who were in charge of driving the carriage. At this time, when they heard the sound of weapons clashing, they should have fought with those who were in ambush. The carriage was still stumbling forward during the fight, Cang Cang finished speaking without giving Xiao Huan a chance to speak, and patted his head: "Lie down, it's not safe to sit!" As he said that, he grabbed his shoulders and pressed him to the seat, then he stood in front of him and was about to lift the curtain to check the situation outside, but he still didn't forget to turn around and remind him, "Don't look up! , very dangerous!" Before she could finish her sentence, a large knife suddenly passed through the rear wall of the car, and then the whole car was broken into two pieces from top to bottom, and the upper half of the roof fell down in the strong wind. down. Cangcang was quick to see the opportunity, and before the knife came over, she hugged her head and lay down on the bottom of the car. At this moment, she immediately crawled out from the wood chips and debris on the roof, caught Xiao Huan's hand, and pulled him Jumped off the carriage. After a while of fighting, the speed of the carriage had already slowed down. After landing on the ground, he took a look at the imperial guards who were still fighting with the men in black. Before he could stand still, he dragged Xiao Huan to the dense forest beside the road. . There were thick fallen leaves accumulated in the woods on both sides of the road, Cang Cang didn't care, and dragged Xiao Huan to the place where the trees were densest. Fortunately, after running for a while, there was no one catching up from behind. Cang Cang stopped a little out of breath, turned around and patted Xiao Huan's head and body, and asked while stroking, "Hey, are you all right? Did you smash it?" "Well," there was a reply, Xiao Huan replied honestly, "I didn't let it be smashed." "That's good." Cang Cang sighed, and didn't notice the smile in the other party's voice. He patted his chest and said, "It's good that I didn't break you. It's really worrying to bring someone as delicate as you with me." .” "Well, thank you for your trouble." He thanked him quickly, with a smile still in his voice. This time Cang Cang heard a little bit, but he didn't care. He stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder, but found that it was too high to be patted, so he patted his arm twice instead: "You're welcome, I'm here, you Don't be afraid, I will protect you." After she finished speaking proudly, she poked her head around the dark woods for a long time, but she didn't see any sign of the man in black chasing her, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "I haven't chased him for so long, so I guess I'm fine." After speaking, he scratched his head and glanced back at Xiao Huan, bit his lip, and said suddenly, "Are you afraid of the dark?" It was already night now, and the moonlight could not shine in the woods, so the surroundings were dark and scary. "Probably not afraid." Xiao Huan replied with a smile. Cang Cang nodded, hesitated for a moment before saying: "I didn't mean to abandon you on purpose, if I don't run now, I won't have a chance to run again - I really have important things to go back to do, I promised others He will be very sad if I don't go back." She paused, "So I must go back, don't be afraid, just stand here for a while, the two people you brought are very powerful, and you must defeat the enemy I will come to you." Still worried, he added, "If the enemy finds out, don't fight them hard, run quickly." After she finished speaking, she took a few steps back and said again: "Be careful, goodbye." Then she turned and ran deep into the dense forest. Watching her figure disappear, Xiao Huan who stayed in place did not move, as if he was really planning to follow Cang Cang's order and stand here waiting for others to rescue him. In the deep night, there was a slightly cold wind, and then Xiao Huan's hand suddenly moved, and at the same time as the light behind him was about to flash, his fingers suddenly moved. The strong wind between the fingers was like lightning, piercing sharply into the acupoints of the man in black. He listened to the wind in the darkness to identify the position and make moves, all in one go, exactly. The steel knife in the hand of the man in black fell to the ground with a "plop", and he immediately turned over and took a few steps back, but he still couldn't get rid of the numbness that quickly ran across his body, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He is also considered a master, walking in the rivers and lakes For more than ten years, no one has ever been forced to retreat. "Please, this comrade, go back and tell your master that if you want my life, you'd better send someone better." That voice sounded not far away, still faint. This indifferent voice came through from behind the darkness, and there was a stinging chill. The man in black sweated down his forehead. There was no movement outside the woods. Those who followed him had already been subdued. This seemingly gentle young man is an unfathomable figure. The man in black only hesitated for a moment, and no longer concealed his figure, he quickly turned around and ran deep into the dense forest. As the rustling footsteps of the man in black disappeared, there was still silence in the darkness. After stopping for a while, there were a few light footsteps, and a royal guard came over, clasping his fists and calling in a low voice, "Master." A light laugh sounded, and then that indifferent voice came from behind the darkness, with a hint of a smile: "Chu Qing, if a little girl told you that she would protect you, how would you feel?" ?” The imperial guard known as Chu Qing hadn't answered yet, and the laughing voice continued, murmuring, a bit like talking to himself: "This little girl, you treat me like a vase, and you'll touch me if you touch me." It will break." Cang Cang was wandering around the city of Hangzhou at night, but in fact she had been wandering here for a whole day. Yesterday, she took advantage of the chaos and ran away from Xiao Huan. She ran back to Hangzhou without even sleeping, but she didn't know what she was going to do when she came back. And sadly... she has no money in her pocket. Distraught, wandering on the street lined with inns beside the West Lake to the fifth lap, Cang Cang finally realized that he might not be able to escape the fate of sleeping on the street tonight. A group of inspecting officials flashed sharply, and she retreated into the corner of the wall as soon as she dodged. She was frightened and frightened all day long, she didn't even eat, she was already exhausted, and this plus she was walking around, and she was a little confused about the direction, so she just shrank back in this corner Lie down and get ready for sleep. It was the last quarter moon, and the moon slowly climbed up late at night. Across the street where Cang Cang was sleeping, there was an inn. The guests in the guest room with the window facing the street didn’t know whether they wanted to enjoy the moon or breathe. Gently pushed open the window. After looking at the scenery in the distance, the guest's eyes fell on Cang Cang who was curled up at the corner of the street. As if sighing softly, the guest supported the window sill with his hands, turned over neatly, walked to Cang Cang's side, leaned over and gently hugged her, touched the ground with his toes, and his body had already stood up from the ground , jumped to the window on the second floor. Clothes turned over, not even a sound. And on a tall pavilion not far away, the killer with a pair of amber eyes simply turned over and lay down on the roof where he was hiding at the moment. The mouse grinding its teeth was not disturbed. The killer supported his head with one hand, closed his eyes quite comfortably, and clasped the fingers of the other hand on the black sheathed sword placed beside him. Under the cool night wind, he seemed to have fallen asleep, his fingers buckled on the scabbard, intentionally or unintentionally, there was some music rhythm. The soft quilt and soft pillow, when Cang Cang poked his head out of the comfortable quilt, the sun had already filled half the room with sunlight. She yawned in a daze, rubbed her eyes, and after scanning the room, she suddenly screamed. Awakened by her cry, Xiao Huan, who was resting on the table, raised his head, curled his fingers and tapped his temples, and smiled at her: "Are you awake?" "It's you?" Cang Cang turned over and sat up, staring at him with wide eyes: "Why are you here?" Xiao Huan looked at her with a smile: "I didn't expect that people like to sleep on the floor." Only then did Cang Cang remember that she fell asleep on the cold stone slab by the roadside last night, and she was in this room when she woke up, and she was a little embarrassed: "So what if I sleep on the floor? Don't worry about it." !" Xiao Huan glanced at her with a smile, but didn't say a word, got up and went to the door to call Xiao Er to bring a pot of hot tea and hot water for washing. Tea and water didn't come for a while, so he went back to the table and sat down, straightening the wrinkles on his collar and cuffs. Cang Cang jumped under the bed, dragged on his shoes, walked slowly towards the table, coughed, and asked, "Well, I'm not very heavy, am I?" "Huh?" Xiao Huan raised his head and smiled. "I mean, when you carried me up, you didn't think I was heavy, did you?" Cang Cang felt a little embarrassed. After speaking, he looked at Xiao Huan again, and said, "Can you carry me?" Xiao Huan didn't answer her previous question, the smile lines on the corners of his mouth deepened, and he nodded: "It's okay." Cang Cang pulled out a square stool in front of the table and sat down, puffed out his cheeks and looked at Xiao Huan who was still smiling: "Is this how you usually talk to people?" Xiao Huan looked at her: "What's wrong?" "It's suffocating!" She had just finished speaking, when she saw Xiao Huan's smiling eyes, she put her child's hand in front of his face to cover it: "Oh, don't smile like that all the time, I'll blush!" "This, it's a bit difficult..." Xiao Huan smiled and let her put her open fingers in front of her face: "I have been laughing for many years, I'm afraid I can't change it for a while." "Forget it... just laugh." Cang Cang put down his hands as if discouraged, then stretched out his hands, half of his body lay on the table, remembering his plan to escape, and wailed: "What a headache." Seeing her frown, Xiao Huan smiled: "If you really don't want to go back to the capital, then stay in Jiangnan for now." Cang Cang sat up energetically immediately: "Aren't you taking me back to the capital?" "Since you don't want to go back so much, it's useless for me to take you back by force. Maybe you ran out again as soon as you go back." Xiao Huan replied with a smile, "So I can wait until you want to go back." Cang Cang looked at him, bit his lips, his big bright eyes flickered, and said suddenly: "If I don't tell you what I'm going to do, I ask you to promise to help me first, will you agree?" Xiao Huan smiled: "I don't tell lies." Cang Cang remembered that there was a saying called "You have no jokes", it seems that it can be applied to him?Immediately she smiled and said, "You are such a nice person, I like you." They talked for a while, and the waiter also brought over hot water for washing and a pot of good Shifeng Longjing. As soon as the tip of Cang Cang's nose touched the mellow tea fragrance, he stretched out his hand towards the teapot, and was caught by Xiao Huan's hand halfway. He pointed to the toiletries beside him: "Wash your face first." Cang Cang stuck out his tongue quietly: "I don't care too much." I had no choice but to go to wash my face indiscriminately, rinse my mouth with salt, and then ran back to the table and poured a cup of tea and took a few sips comfortably. Xiao Huan washed his clothes much more carefully than her. He rinsed his mouth, cleansed his face, untied and combed his hair which was not very messy, and finally tidied up his clothes before returning to the table and pouring a cup of tea from the teapot. . Cang Cang looked at him while drinking tea, and finally said: "I thought you wouldn't do this by yourself." Xiao Huan smiled, picked up the tea on the table and sipped it, lowered his eyes lightly: "Do you want breakfast?" As expected, Cang Cang's eyes lit up: "I want to eat two cages of steamed stuffed buns with chicken sauce." A cool breeze blew up in a quiet courtyard in Daiyu City, the accompanying capital. It was already early autumn, and the autumn wind blew over the lotus pond in the garden, turning up a few decayed leaves, which were cool and clear. In the blue-tiled pavilion built by the water, a brown figure sat alone, randomly picking up black and white chess pieces, and filling them into the chessboard in front of him.In this game of chess, the layout is far from over, and there is a large blank space between the vertical and horizontal lines. Another gust of autumn wind blew by, before a new chess piece picked up by the people in the pavilion fell down, a black figure walked over from the other side of the lotus pond. The man in black walked very fast, and after a short while, he went straight to the stone table in the small pavilion. The man in the pavilion smiled and said to him: "Xianxue, are you back?" Xian Xue didn't answer his words, paused for a moment, and said, "I'm in Hangzhou, and I met Miss." The man paused for a moment, the chess piece in his hand hit Li Mu's chessboard, and sighed softly: "This girl, I really can't do anything about her." Xian Xue said, smiled, and paused: "I'm in Hangzhou, and I met another person." Hearing the words, the man finally raised his head, with a pair of clear and sharp eyes on his elegant face, he looked at Xian Xue: "Who?" Xian Xue paused, then spoke out two words very lightly: "Xiao Huan." Those eyes narrowed suddenly, and in an instant, they shot out a blade-like light. The man chuckled, "It turns out that the one in the palace is already a substitute. Our weak Long Live Lord rushed to the south of the Yangtze River alone. Go, isn't it just to catch his fleeing wife Wen Ding?" "It's not impossible to catch up with someone thousands of miles away." Xian Xue answered quietly. "Don't you want to say that our Long Live Lord already has feelings for that girl?" The man laughed unexpectedly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were folded together, and all the brilliance of those sharp eyes faded in an instant, and he was also here In an instant, he turned into an ordinary middle-aged man who was lazy and tired. He smiled and said with an imperceptible sigh: "It would be great if this is the case." Xian Xue didn't answer any more. He stood quietly for a while, waiting for the gust of wind from the lotus pond to pass, and cupped his fists at the man: "Sir, I'm backing down." After getting a nod in agreement, he quickly turned around and exited along the lotus pond again. He walked as fast as he came, until his figure disappeared behind the flowers and trees by the pond, the elegant-faced middle-aged man sitting in front of the table stopped for a moment, and stood up from the chess table. The smile on his face had completely disappeared, and together with the smile, there was also the look of laziness on his face. When he waved his hand, there was already an attendant in black beside him. Facing the attendant, he said calmly: "Write an anonymous letter to Feng Yuanjiang in Fenglai Pavilion, and give him another five thousand taels of silver, asking him to bring Miss Ling's head." The attendant visibly froze for a moment: "Miss?" "Don't worry." Sensing the nervousness of his subordinates, he finally laughed again: "With that person around, that girl won't lose her life." The attendant felt relieved at this moment, clasped his fists, and took the order to leave. He casually threw the sunspots in his hand into the chess game, and the middle-aged man in brown also walked away from the gazebo. In autumn in the north, the chill is gradually getting heavier, and there are not many people sitting in the kiosk by the lake.
