Chapter 57, Scene [-]

After hurriedly turning two street corners in the market, Jiang Yan stopped at the entrance of a tailor-made shop.It wasn't because he planned to make new clothes for himself, but because in front of the store, there was a silver mirror that was almost as tall as a person, for the customers who came to visit to try on it.

The young man pretended to stroll around the store, but his footsteps kept lingering in front of the silver mirror.With the slightly blurred shadow on the mirror, he really saw the two bearded men following him!

Jiang Yan was so confused that he couldn't guess why the two of them followed him, but he didn't dare to take it lightly.Take the left and right together, instead of blindly avoiding it, it is better to use offense as defense to take the initiative.So he made a bold decision on the spur of the moment, intending to find an opportunity to subdue the two tails behind him, thoroughly figure out what the other party intends to do, and who is instigating it.

Thinking of this, the black-eyed boy turned around and walked back towards the bustling Zitong Street—he often accompanied Ning Yue to this market for a stroll on weekdays, and he was as familiar with the criss-crossing streets and alleys as his own backyard.Accompanied by the cries from the left and right, a plan gradually became clear in his mind.

At the same time, Ning Yue, who was following closely behind her, also stretched out her slender hand hidden in the armhole, and tugged Qi Ziyin, who was distracted beside her, to signal him not to be distracted:

"Oh, Ziyin, you can't eat two bites less. Although the four famous snacks in Dongjiaolou are really delicious, even I can hold back the glutton in my stomach, but do you have to be greedy at this time? Quickly analyze it for me Analysis, this little stutterer has been wandering aimlessly in the market since just now, what exactly is he planning to do?"

Qi Ziyin shook his head, stuffed half an inch of gold in his hand, and responded murmuringly: "Ning Yue, Jiang Yan is Mo Lingwei, and he is very alert, maybe our disguise has already been recognized by him. It may not be sure if you come out. This move is obviously deliberately leading us by the nose, and it depends on when you lose your temper."

"Ah bah, is this girl the one who can't hold her breath? Besides, my disguise technique was learned from Sister Jia after a lot of effort. Even she praised me for being talented, so how could I be recognized so easily? come out?"

"Sister Jia, where did she learn this strange skill?"

"How would I know? It's just that one day when I was helping to clean up the house, I accidentally found a bunch of props, and begged her to learn them. Oh, don't change the topic, do you still want to help me?"

Ning Yue's eyes widened as she spoke, and she stretched out her hand to pull the long beards sticking to the lips of the boy in white.

The things she changed this time were all paste, flour, and ashes from the hearth that she begged from the surrounding shops, plus a few strands of hair cut from her companion's head. Lifelike.Although the fake beards were not glued very well at first, the paste was blown dry by the wind at this moment, and a little pulling still made Qi Ziyin scream in pain.

But even so, the boy in white didn't show any annoyance on his face, he just let the girl's temper go wild willingly: "Ningyue, stop talking, I will definitely help you!"

"Tch, if you don't really help me, you might as well just let it hurt you to death." Ning Yue made a playful face and let go of him.

Qi Ziyin gently rubbed his lips and said, "When Jiang Yan came out just now, why didn't we just stop at the door to ask for clarification, but now it takes such a lot of effort? If you are so careful, why did you force your way in just now?" What about the Shihua Pavilion?"

"Didn't I lose my head at that time? Having known each other for so long, you also know that little stammer has a donkey-like temper. He always puts on a serious look, but in fact his face is thinner than paper, just kidding." If it gets too big, it will turn pale. Just now he entered the brothel wearing the clothes of the imperial army, if we caught him in the street, why not dig a hole and get in under the watchful eyes of everyone?"

The red-haired girl finally took her gaze away from Jiang Yan, looked at Qi Ziyin's serious face and said seriously.

"How do you know that he didn't wear a military uniform to embolden himself..."

Seeing that his companion cared so much about the feelings of the black-eyed boy, the young master of country Ye suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart and jumped up and down.He wanted to tell Ning Yue that he actually hoped that the other party would share some of this kindness with him, even if it was only one percent or one ten thousandth of Jiang Yan's, but he was too timid to speak up.At this time, the more the girl stared at him, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he didn't dare to look at her, so he had to look away, like a little beast whose whereabouts had been discovered, desperately I want to hide my whereabouts.

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense and hurry up. My girl's hair is wrapped so tightly that it feels like it's about to break."

Ning Yue was used to being open-mouthed when talking with Jiang Yan on weekdays, and at this time she didn't even notice the ups and downs in the heart of this young master of Ye country who was good at hiding her feelings.The two of them closed their mouths, and when the black robe in front went a little farther, they stepped forward again to follow.

Continuing to pass through several alleys, the yelling on the side of the road gradually became sparse and sporadic, replaced by a row of houses being repaired and refurbished.Seeing this, Qi Ziyin immediately reminded his companions:

"We seem to have come around to the pawn shop that caught fire three years ago!"

Hearing what her companion said, Ning Yue stopped and looked sideways. She really saw piles of green bricks and green tiles for repairs on both sides of the street. Since then, he has never wanted to move back.The nearby businesses also withered, and many shops remained vacant.

Now that the city is under heavy snow, the craftsmen have not yet returned to work, and the surrounding area is lonely.Just when the red-haired girl wondered why Jiang Yan came here, she suddenly realized that the figure that had been walking not far in front had disappeared from her vision at some point.She became anxious on the spot, stretched out her small white fist and slapped her companion's shoulder several times:

"Oh, it's all your fault. You interrupted me at a critical moment. It's over now, let's lose people!"

Qi Ziyin also felt a little embarrassed.But just as he was about to beg for mercy, he heard an angry shout from above his head, and then a figure descended from the sky, and threw himself down fiercely on his body!
Qi Ziyin pulled up the small hand of his companion beside him to avoid it, but the person who came came kicked him to the ground like a rabbit, then raised his arm and pointed at Ning Yue and shouted loudly:

"Who are you? I am Mo Lingwei Zuo Xiaowei, General Yan. If you act rashly again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

There is a special small crossbow machine hidden in Mo Lingwei's wrist armor, the tip of the arrow is poisoned, killing people without blood, it is a sharp weapon for body protection.The boy in white knew that at this time, he and his companions were disguised and dressed differently than usual, so it was absolutely impossible for Jiang Yan to recognize him immediately.Reluctantly, there is no chance to explain more at the moment, so I have to give up resistance and no longer struggle.

Ning Yue at the side didn't know anything about it, and bullied the other party directly:

"Idiot, idiot, stupid head! Hiding on the roof and attacking us!"

Jiang Yan, who was tense all over, saw that the strange man with the long beard rushed forward despite dissuasion, thinking that the other party was planning to play some tricks.He couldn't hear what he was muttering in his mouth, and he didn't notice the weirdness of his voice at all. He had already triggered the mechanism on the crossbow with a movement of his fingers, wanting to defeat the enemy with one blow.

A short arrow shot out from the wrist armor with a "swish", Qi Ziyin wanted to stop it, but it was too late.The Feather Arrow accurately hit the girl's chest, and the force it brought directly knocked her light body into the air, and she fell back to the ground.

The boy in white exclaimed, flew to Ning Yue's side, and stretched out his hand to check the girl's breath.Only then did Jiang Yan finally distinguish the other party's voice, and he was at a loss but murmured in amazement:

"Ziyin? Yue'er? You, why are you two dressed like this? You have been following me all the time, I, I thought you were the killers sent by the mysterious man to seek revenge three years ago—"

But Qi Ziyin didn't have time to explain: "A killer is not a killer, your arrow is poisonous, get the antidote first!"

Hearing what his companion said, Jiang Yan just came to his senses and panicked completely: "I went out in a hurry today, and I didn't bring the antidote with me! Take out the poisonous arrow first, and then rush to the doctor!"

However, what neither of them expected was that while they were talking, the red-haired girl who fell on the ground actually sat up again with support on her body, her face full of annoyance:

"Okay, you stutter, you're so courageous, you dare to shoot an arrow at this girl!"

Jiang Yan didn't pay attention to her at all, but he hugged the girl into his arms, and stretched out his hand to touch her chest: "Yue'er, don't move around, my short arrow is poisonous, you have to shoot it first." Just pull it out."

"Pervert, where are you touching! Tell me, why do you keep avoiding Ziyin and me?"

Ning Yue forcefully opened her companion's hand in embarrassment and annoyance, and took off her heavy cotton coat—she was petite, and in order to make herself look like a man, she purposely used putty and some straw, and then The cloth strips were wrapped and tucked into the clothes, cleverly hiding the uneven curves of the body.And the short, highly poisonous arrow happened to be stuck in a large mass of half-dried plaster at this time, and failed to hurt the girl's flesh at all.

Only then did Jiang Yan feel relieved, but suddenly changed the subject, and looked suspiciously at the two strange-looking companions in front of him: "Yue'er, look at your own attire, there is no problem if I don't hide! It's the two of you who are sneaking around. Follow me all the way, what exactly do you want to do?"

Now that the matter has gotten to such an extent, and there is no one else around, Ning Yue simply said something, stretched out her hand to grab the other party's ear, and asked sharply:

"Are you ashamed to ask us what we are doing with you? Why don't you tell me honestly, who are you planning to have a private meeting with today when you went to that brothel called Shihua Pavilion without telling us two?"

"Ning Yue, how can you speak so harshly? Who went to a private meeting in a brothel!" The black-eyed boy poked his neck, but his tone was extremely tough.

Seeing this, Ning Yue jumped up on the spot.She tore off the face-changing makeup that was stuck on her face, as well as the turban covering her red hair, and threw it on the opponent's head and body:

"Are you still stubborn and refusing to admit it? Ziyin and I heard you talking about a girl to Xiaoer in that noodle shop, and then saw you go into the Shihua Pavilion with our own eyes, and then walked all the way from the door of the brothel. I followed you here! If you didn't go to meet the girl privately, wouldn't what we saw be a ghost?"

The girl clenched her fists tightly, and there seemed to be tears in her round eyes.Jiang Yan knew that he couldn't hide this time, and he explained after pondering for a while, but he still didn't mean to admit his mistake:
"I did go to the Shihua Pavilion today, but not to have fun, but to find someone specifically."

"You don't even know how to lie! Who did you find in the brothel? Is that person familiar with you?" Ning Yue didn't agree with him, but instead raised her voice, almost going mad with anger.

"I don't know the other party, but I just want to ask some questions, but unfortunately I didn't see him."

"What's the girl's name? What do you want to ask her?"

Ning Yue's face was full of distrust.She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she couldn't control her emotions, she just kept trying to force the other party to submit.

"It's all my own business, Yue'er, so don't ask too much. In fact, I originally planned to tell you when the time is right."

Jiang Yan's hesitant appearance made the girl opposite him even more impatient:

"Why can't I ask? What is the time is ripe? Aren't the three of us best friends? Is there anything you can't tell us?"

At this moment, the red-haired mother was filled with a strange feeling.She suddenly felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable gap between the other party and herself.She didn't know exactly why this feeling came about, but she just vaguely noticed that some changes that she didn't know were happening in this black-eyed young man.

"This matter—I'd better not talk about it for the time being."

Jiang Yan still shook his head, with a sincere expression on his face.

"Okay, you won't say yes! Then I'll find a way to figure it out myself!"

Ning Yue stomped her feet and stomped her feet, and didn't intend to continue asking.Before her companion could react, she turned her head and ran in the direction of Shi Hua Pavilion again.
