Chapter 346 Chu Xianping made the wrong choice again?
Dafeng, Jianchang Prefecture.
Just when Wei Changtian was repeatedly doubting whether he, as a time traveler, had failed miserably, Bai Youheng, who was far away in an inn in Jianchang City, was holding a piece of mother-and-child jade in his hand with a gloomy expression.
Du Chang's information was correct. The night watchman who had been running to Zuichunlou for the past few days was indeed Bai Youheng's subordinate.
Chu Xianping and Wei Changtian were right in their guesses. Everything was actually just a test by Bai Youheng.
He deliberately made the night watchman do some abnormal behavior in order to verify whether the "intelligence" he had learned before was a conspiracy against him.
Now, five days have passed, and the night watchman is still safe and sound.
In Bai Youheng's opinion, there are only two explanations for this situation.
Either the enemy was too incompetent and did not notice such a spy.
Either "Wei Changtian has already found a way to find Yan Luo" is true, and it is not a trap to lure the Gu Diao to appear.
Bai Youheng naturally didn't believe that Wei Changtian was so stupid.
What's more, the latter has Chu Xianping by his side, who can detect Pei Dajun's abnormality.
So, they can actually find the Gu Diao?
Thinking of this, Bai Youheng's expression became even uglier.
Since he took a detour from Longzhou to enter Dafeng, it would take at least seven or eight days to return to Fengyuan.
And if he cannot find out what Wei Changtian is going to do and then respond, then this period of time will be enough for the other party to kill the Gu Diao several times.
Bai Youheng is a very suspicious person.
The advantage of having such a personality is that you are very vigilant, think three steps ahead, and rarely put yourself in danger.
But the downside is that if he is already in danger, his hesitation may become a fatal flaw.
Even if this danger is actually fake.
“.”
The moonlight was pale and was occasionally obscured by dark clouds, making the view outside the window dim and dark.
Bai Youheng sat at the table for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
Pinch your fingers and slowly close your eyes.
After dozens of breaths, a black shadow floated out from the surface of a small lake in Fengyuan City where few people visited.
This black shadow obviously floated up from the bottom of the water, but the strange thing was that there was not a ripple on the surface of the lake, and the crescent moon in the water was intact.
A few fish swam under the black shadow, as if curious about what it was.
But before they could see clearly, the latter shot silently towards the grove by the lake.
The dense trees blocked the moonlight and the fish's view.
After several dozen breaths, a man in white hurriedly walked out of the forest.
He walked quickly and soon walked away completely.
But there was not a single footprint or trace left on the soft soil behind him.
The next morning, Zuichunlou.
When Song Li slowly opened her eyes, she felt as if she had had a very long dream.
I met a young man last night.
Not only did he not touch herself, he also asked about her life experience.
I felt so sad at that time that I even threw myself into his arms and cried.
Then the memory came to an abrupt end the moment another young man pushed the door open.
So what happened next? Why did I suddenly fall asleep?
"ah!"
With a slight cry, Song Li hurriedly lifted the quilt to check if her clothes were still there.
As she moved, two pages of thin paper placed beside the pillow were blown up by the wind and fluttered to her hand.
"This is."
Song Li picked up the two pages of paper in confusion, and then she was stunned.
She was illiterate, and Zuichunlou had never taught her "music, chess, calligraphy and painting" as the madam said.
But she could recognize one of the thin papers until her death.
Because there were her bright red fingerprints on the paper.
It's my own indenture! "Why?"
Surprise and confusion surged in Song Li's heart at the same time. At this moment, Song Li had no time to care about anything else. After coming to her senses, she immediately got out of bed, even forgetting to put on her shoes. She ran to the door holding the piece of thin paper tightly in her hand.
As luck would have it, the door was gently pushed open at this moment.
"Um?"
The madam who had just entered the room saw the flustered Song Li. She was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of her bare feet: "Oh! My dear! Why are you running around barefoot? What if you catch a cold?"
"Quick! Put your shoes on before talking!"
“.”
The mother who had pricked herself with a needle yesterday was actually concerned today about whether she would catch a cold. The 180-degree turn in the madam's attitude made Song Li stunned.
The madam did not feel embarrassed. Seeing that Song Li did not move, she simply walked to the bed, brought the embroidered shoes over, and then placed them at Song Li's feet attentively.
"Miss Song, please put on your shoes quickly."
"You, you."
Song Li's eyes suddenly widened: "You call me Miss Song?"
"oops!"
The madam smiled flatteringly: "Ms. Song, you are now a commoner, so we can no longer call you by your flowery name."
"I, I am a white body?"
"Can we still deceive you?"
The madam smiled even more: "The young man who was in your room yesterday has redeemed you!"
"He, he redeemed me?"
"Yes, the indenture has been returned to you, young lady. The young master even left you a banknote."
"Is this a banknote?"
“.”
As if she had turned into a tape recorder, Song Li repeated the madam's words one by one. After a long time, she gradually accepted the reality that "she was free."
If this happened to other brothel girls, what would remain after the surprise would definitely be ecstasy.
But there was something wrong with Song Li's expression now.
There are joys and sorrows.
"Mom, where is that young man?"
After hesitating for a while, she put on her shoes silently and asked softly, "Where should I go to find him?"
"We don't know about that."
The madam repeated Chu Xianping's words truthfully: "He just said that we can leave after Miss Song wakes up."
"He, he didn't let me go look for him?" Song Li opened her mouth slightly.
"Indeed."
The madam guessed what Song Li was thinking, and she smiled and explained, "In our opinion, the young man must have felt sorry for you, so he just regarded it as a good deed."
“.”
The red glow spread over the window sill, and the fiery red morning sun made Song Li's cheeks blush.
The "sadness" in his eyes completely disappeared, and this time all that was left was indeed "joy".
"I, I understand!"
An hour later, in the north of Fengyuan City.
The shabby alley was not paved with bluestone, and mud splashed up, leaving many black spots on the woman's exquisite embroidered shoes and long skirt.
However, the woman didn't care about it at all. She just picked up her skirt and ran to a dilapidated courtyard. Then she knocked on the door excitedly and shouted:
"Brother Liu! Open the door!"
"It's me! I'm back!"
“Boom boom boom!”
“Boom boom boom!”
“.”
The shouts and knocks on the door were full of joy and excitement, but there was no movement on the other side of the door.
The woman was a little confused, but she just thought that the person inside the door had just gone out for something, so she gathered her skirt and sat down on the stone next to her, ready to wait for the person to come back.
However, not long after she sat down, a man's voice suddenly came from inside the door.
"You, you are Li'er?"
"It's me!"
The woman immediately stood up from the stone when she heard the noise and shouted happily: "Brother Liu, open the door! I'm back!"
“.”
The tattered courtyard door was still tightly closed, and the man inside the door hesitated for a long time before finally speaking hesitantly to Song Li's expectation: "Li, Li'er, go back."
"Don't blame Brother Liu for being heartless. It's just that I can't afford to offend Zuichunlou."
