Isn’t it three servings per person?
There is one share distributed to each guard, one share belonging to Guard Xiao, and one share belonging to the master of Tianshu Pavilion.
All belonged to Qi Xu.
Qi Xu opened the brocade box and took out the star-shaped jade. After rubbing it for a few times in his hands, he handed it to Feng Ping, "I remember you are good at making pendants?"
"Help me make a pendant for this piece of jade."
Master Gao Tianshi, who has passed away many years ago, was a man of real ability.
Since Miss Wei said herself that this thing has the effect of warding off evil and avoiding disasters, he will wear it close to his body from now on.
…
After sending out several thank-you gifts, Wei Yunlan finally put his mind at ease.
When he returned to the room, it was still early. It would probably take some time before Gao and the others came back from visiting Zhuangzi. Wei Yunlan casually opened the window, stood by the window, basking in the morning sun, and performed a set of sword techniques that he had learned two days ago.
Although his strength was still lacking, his sword-swinging moves had been practiced quite well.
After practicing a set of sword techniques, his face was covered with sweat.
Ningshuang quickly brought a handkerchief, and Tingxue also came forward with a cup of cool water.
"Miss, please drink some water and take a rest...eh?"
Tingxue was only halfway through her words when she widened her eyes in surprise, looked out the window, and smacked her lips and said, "Miss, look over there... the carriages in the Marquis's mansion aren't this grand, right?"
Wei Yunlan sheathed his sword and looked in the direction Tingxue was looking.
In front of the seven-story building not far away, there was a carriage pulled by four white horses without a trace of hair.
The carriage is particularly eye-catching. At first glance, it can only be described in four words.
Magnificent.
If it were in the capital, not only would the Marquis' Mansion not dare to put on such a display, even the Duke's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion would not dare to be so ostentatious!
Looking at where the carriage was parked, it went without saying that it was most likely related to the powerful Lord Cao or Master Cao in Yunshui City.
Thinking of this, Wei Yunlan took another step closer to the window, stood behind it and watched.
I saw the gate of Zhaiyue Tower opened from the inside, and several guards in armor stood on both sides of the gate.
Then a group of graceful women in gauze clothes came out one after another, surrounded by two drunken men.
One of them was stocky and potbellied, the other was tall and strong, but without exception, they all walked with unsteady steps, staggering from side to side. It was obvious that they had just gotten up from a night of drinking and sex.
The carriage carried the two men and those graceful women away, and the door of Zhaiyue Tower was closed again.
The buildings with lights turned off during the day look more peaceful and less flashy at night.
Wei Yunlan's brows furrowed more and more.
This Zhaiyue Tower doesn't look like what the innkeepers described it as, a place for scholars and writers to climb up and look far into the distance, admiring the moon and gazing at the stars.
The scene just now was clearly something that only happened in a romantic place.
The most famous Zuihualou in Kanglefang in Beijing is just like this!
So, the Cao family spent a lot of time and money to build this high-rise building, could it be that they just wanted to build a unique... brothel?
Is it really necessary to go to so much trouble to build such a place in this remote and cold state?
The knock on the door interrupted Wei Yunlan's thoughts.
Guixiang reported at the door, "Miss, Fourth Miss Bai has woken up."
"What's the situation?" Wei Yunlan asked hurriedly.
This was the first time Fourth Miss Bai woke up after she drank the sedative and fell asleep again.
Guixiang hesitated for a moment, her expression visibly darkened, and she said with embarrassment: "Fourth Miss Bai, she can't speak again."
"Why."
This was within Doctor Yu's expectations, but Wei Yunlan still couldn't help but sigh.
With the breath stuck in his mouth, Wei Yunlan turned around and looked at the Zhaiyue Tower outside the window again.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the towering building.
"Miss?" Ningshuang and Tingxue looked at Wei Yunlan with some concern.
Based on their understanding of their young lady, she must have thought of something at this time, and it was probably not a good thing.
Wei Yunlan did have some guesses.
The fact that Fourth Miss Bai woke up just reminded her that Elder Miss Bai and many other women had been abducted by masked men a few days ago.
Although they don't want to think about it this way, everyone knows the purpose of kidnapping women.
The fact that the group of masked men only kidnapped young and beautiful women is very telling.
If Zhaiyue Tower was really the place of entertainment and debauchery that she imagined, then there was most likely a larger industrial chain hidden behind it.
With the power that Lord Cao and the Cao family have in the Dan River area, they are able to drive or condone the group of masked men to kidnap women in the vicinity.
Plus the northern accent that Fourth Miss Bai mentioned earlier...
Wei Yunlan was horrified when he thought about it.
This matter is hard to explain and is no easier than the previous incident at the Lianzhou mine.
It is even possible that the threat is much greater than that of the Lianzhou mine, and the impact will occur earlier.
Thinking of this, Wei Yunlan could no longer stand it. He said, "You guys take care of Fourth Miss Bai first, I'll be back soon," and ran to the room he had just been to not long ago.
When I walked to the door, I met two people coming out.
"Mr. Xiao, are you going out?" Wei Yunlan asked.
Qi Xu nodded and said without hiding anything, "I just saw two people coming out of Zhaiyue Tower. They looked suspicious, so I was just about to follow them to see for myself."
"Mr. Xiao, you saw it too!" After asking, Wei Yunlan remembered that the windows of his room and Guard Xiao's room faced the same direction. The only difference was that his room was closer to the Ramadan Building and his field of vision was more towards the direction of the gate.
"Mr. Xiao."
Wei Yunlan said hurriedly: "I remember the appearance of those two people, as well as the appearance of the women following them. Take me with you."
"Okay." Qi Xu said briefly, glancing at the maids following behind Wei Yunlan, "Only one more person is allowed."
Wei Yunlan made a decision instantly, "Sui He goes with you, and the others stay."
As he spoke, he hardly stopped and followed Qi Xu and Feng Ping down the stairs.
In front of the gate, the people from Tianshu Pavilion had already prepared the carriage.
Wei Yunlan didn't ask any more questions and took Sui He directly to the carriage. Feng Ping and Qi Xu also sat on both sides of the front of the carriage, just like the driver and the guards following the carriage.
The carriage drove straight towards the South City Gate in the direction that the two men had just left.
Outside the bustling Danyun City, there are vast stretches of barren and desolate land.
The four horses galloped, leaving obvious traces on the ground.
It took almost no effort to find the other party's route.
Soon, the magnificent carriage appeared in sight.
Feng Ping slowed down and took the fork in the road, heading east.
However, there was an armored guard next to the carriage in front who noticed a carriage passing by from behind, turned closer, and glanced over inquiringly.
Wei Yunlan deliberately opened half of the curtain, exposing herself to the other party's sight. She frowned and said impatiently to Feng Ping who was driving the car in front, "You said you wanted to find my mother and the others quickly, why are you suddenly slowing down?"
