Chapter 356: Meng Xiyan's Sweetheart
On the official road near the Big Buddha Temple.
In an inconspicuous teahouse, Meng Xiyan was wearing a short, gray robe with a towel draped over his shoulders.
"Goodbye, guests." He hunched over as he saw off a table of guests, pulled off his handkerchief and began to clear the cups and plates on the table.
When he bent over, a big bulge on his back was exposed.
After arriving here that day, Meng Xiyan did not follow Wen Yan's arrangement and disguised himself as a peddler.
Instead, he found a tea stall and worked as a waiter.
He had just finished clearing one table when new customers came in.
Meng Xiyan frowned slightly on his dark face.
A few years ago, a snowstorm and cold wave trapped many ladies and girls who went to the Big Buddha Temple to pray in the temple.
Although the snow was intermittent during this period, the ladies and rich girls could no longer stay in the mountains.
Taking advantage of the fact that the snow has lessened these days, we hurried down the mountain.
He has been waiting here for five days, and every day he receives pilgrims.
Although one or two of the families spoke with a southern accent and were not from Cangzhou.
He went to investigate quietly at night and found nothing suspicious.
"We've been waiting for five days, and the suspicious-looking southerner hasn't shown up at all. Is Yanyan playing a trick on us?"
"It's not bad! Yanyan doesn't seem like such a bad person."
"Don't mention it, I've fallen in love with business. When I get back, I'll resign from the young master and switch to being a peddler."
Just when their patience was about to run out, good news came.
The person they were waiting for finally showed up.
The bad news is that those people did not appear near the Big Buddha Temple, but appeared at the Xuanruo Temple where Wen Yan was following.
At that time, Wen Yan was chatting with the owner of the tea stall.
A team stopped outside the tea stall.
The tea stall owner draped a cloth towel over his shoulders and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Sir, please come in."
"Bring out all the good stuff you have."
The leader was a tall and burly man.
He was wearing a tight suit, had a strong body and a face full of flesh, and looked like someone who was not to be messed with.
Although he tried his best to imitate the tone of a northerner when speaking Mandarin, Wen Yan still heard a Wuzhou accent.
Behind him, there was a companion.
The companion was probably afraid of the cold, so he wore a hat and a cloth covering his face, which completely covered his face, leaving only a pair of sinister eyes exposed.
Wen Yan's gaze met his, and in an instant she felt a fear of being targeted by him as a prey.
That wasn't just a simple look, it was a murderous look.
The chill ran from the soles of my feet to my forehead, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on my back.
The man's eyes clearly didn't change, but Wen Yan felt like he was laughing at her.
Her head buzzed, and she subconsciously avoided the sight and protected Chen Twelve behind her.
But the man refused to let her go and walked a few steps to the front of the stall: "What were you looking at?"
His voice sounded as ripped as his eyes did.
"Nothing... nothing?" Wen Yan pretended to be afraid, picked up a piece of clothing and handed it to him: "I... I saw that you were wrapped up tightly, and I thought you were cold, so I wanted to sell you some clothes."
Her voice trembled with fear when she spoke.
The man stared at the clothes, sneered disdainfully, and turned away.
Wen Yan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, then saw a maid helping a frail woman in her early twenties get off the carriage.
After seeing the face clearly, Wen Yan's eyes widened in surprise.
It’s her!
Miss Ning of the Ning family sighed.
Meng Xiyan’s sweetheart.
In her previous life, the Ning Tan that Wen Yan met was disfigured and had a hoarse voice, but one could still see her former beauty.
Seeing her intact face in this life, Wen Yan couldn't help but sigh: She is worthy of being the woman that made the young Meng Xiyan fall in love at first sight.
Looking at her quietly, her skin is as white as cream, her cheeks are rosy, and her eyes are as clear as autumn water.
Every gesture and movement is full of brilliance, like a willow swaying in the wind.
With such beauty, perhaps only Meng Chifei can compare with her.
Perhaps noticing Wen Yan's gaze, Ning Tan smiled at Wen Yan.
That smile was like a spring breeze, carrying with it the pleasant fragrance of flowers, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Wen Yan smiled back.
Chen Twelve sighed and said, "She is so beautiful, almost catching up with Sister Chi Fei."
Wen Yan came back to his senses.
etc……
This is not right!
Wasn’t Ning Tan in his previous life rescued by Meng Chifei near the Big Buddha Temple?
How could she be here in this life?
Why is there such a big difference between the two worlds?
Will she take a detour to the Big Buddha Temple to burn incense?
Or was it that she had taken this same path in her previous life, and after being tortured, she was deliberately abducted to the Big Buddha Temple?!
But why go through so much trouble to bring her to the Big Buddha Temple?
What is the purpose?
A widowed woman was spotted by the wife of a powerful official, naked in the snow, her body covered with signs of humiliation.
This will not only kill the woman, but will also implicate the family behind her.
Fortunately, Ning Tan had a loyal maid and Meng Chifei, so the evildoer behind the scenes failed to succeed.
For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Wen Yan's mind.
Anyway, no matter which one it is.
She arranged for Meng Xiyan to be a hero and save the beauty, and there must be no mistakes.
She wanted to give Meng Xiyan a chance to win the beauty.
Ning Tan's expression and behavior now did not seem like he was being held hostage.
It seems that she hasn't met with any misfortune yet.
Her mind raced to find a solution.
The owner of the tea stall quickly served tea, cakes and food.
The sinister man was sitting facing Wen Yan.
When the food arrived, he took off the neck scarf that was wrapped around his cheeks and started to eat.
Unexpectedly, the companion with a fat face bumped him with his elbow and warned him with his eyes.
The sinister man had no choice but to lower his neck scarf to cover his face again. He seemed to have something.
Wen Yan had been observing Ning Tan out of the corner of her eye and accidentally noticed the unusual interaction between the two.
What are these two trying to hide? !
Wen Yan couldn't think of a perfect plan at the moment, so he could only take it one step at a time.
She took Chen Twelve's hand and wrote on his hand: "This team is the one I'm looking for."
"Ah... they are..." Chen Twelve was so excited that he couldn't help but raise his voice.
Wen Yan covered his mouth with her hand and glared at him fiercely: "Shh, don't let them hear it."
Chen Twelve nodded quickly to show that he understood.
Wen Yan then let him go.
Chen Twelve quickly asked him in a low voice: "Are you sure it's them?"
Wen Yan nodded and wrote the next plan under him.
Chen Twelve immediately shook his head and wrote a rebuttal on her palm: “No, it’s too dangerous, you can’t go.
Your Kung Fu is poor, and mine is superior, so let me go."
Wen Yan immediately retorted: "I am your elder sister, you have to listen to me."
Chen Twelve was unwilling to accept this and wanted to argue for his rights.
Wen Yan clenched his fist and shook it in front of him.
Chen Twelve pouted unwillingly: "Isn't it okay for me to just listen to you?"
Wen Yan gave a few more instructions.
"Then I'll go back to restock the stock. You take care of the stall, okay?" After a while, Wen Yan gave some instructions to Chen Twelve, then drove his own carriage away from the tea stall.
Leave the sight of the tea shed.
Wen Yan took the carriage into the woods nearby.
She unloaded the carriage and quietly hid in the woods.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ning Tan's team appeared in her sight.
Seeing this, Wen Yan rode his horse and followed quietly.
