Noble First Daughter-in-law

In a blink of an eye, it was Zishi.

The entire Daxing City was shrouded in darkness, with criss-crossed paths and rows of pavilions that looked like a quiet and exquisite bonsai, and the people inside were like ants crawling in the bonsai.

However, under the plague and the prohibition, not many people dared to go out in such a late night.

In the silence, there was a light sound of horseshoes and wheels. A carriage drove slowly along the long street. Two lanterns were hung on both sides of the roof, shaking, and the faint lights illuminated the Holding the rein in one hand and the whip in the other, he drove the carriage by himself, looking anxiously at the handsome face ahead from time to time.

It's Pei Xingyuan.

Although he is a son of a family, his posture of driving the carriage is not unfamiliar at all. While driving the carriage, he craned his neck and looked forward. Not far ahead is the place where he and Jin Daji agreed to meet tonight.

Dongshi North Gate.

Dongshi, also known as Metropolitan City, is the most bustling and bustling market in the east city of Daxing City. Goods from the south and the north gather here, and there are many barbarians and merchants from the Western Regions who come here to operate. Therefore, the spices, jewelry here It is also famous all over the world. If there were no such troubles in front of him, this place would be Pei Xingyuan's favorite place to visit.

But right now, he is not in the mood at all. After all, the entire city has already been closed the day after the plague appeared. The front is pitch black and there is no light. Huge lanterns hung on both sides of the door.

However, the promised person was nowhere to be seen.

Pei Xingyuan couldn't help frowning, and murmured: "The kid is not entertaining the young master, is he?"

As soon as the words fell, a thin figure came out from behind the lantern.

Pei Xingyuan was startled, and hastily reined in the reins. The horse pulling the cart shook its head and stopped immediately. The lantern kept shaking, and the flickering light shone on the short man. Meet Kim Dae-gil.

Under the weak light, those black bean-like eyes were actually brighter than they looked during the day.

He looked at Pei Xingyuan and said with a smile, "Mr. Pei drove here by himself?"

Pei Xingyuan raised his eyebrows: "Why, can I take the driver?"

"..."

"Then why didn't you say earlier that if I could bring it, I would have brought it a long time ago. Why don't you still use me to drive the car yourself?"

Jin Daji laughed and said, "Mr. Pei speaks volumes."

Pei Xingyuan smiled and said: "My son not only keeps his word, but also his promise."

Jin Daji's eyes flickered, even if only the two lanterns on the top of the carriage could barely illuminate his figure, the surrounding deep night couldn't hide the shrewd and greedy light from those small eyes.

He said with a smile: "Since Mr. Pei promises a thousand gold, let me see the thousand gold."

Pei Xingyuan also smiled, then reached into his bosom, and took out a bank note. He raised his hand and moved to the lantern above his head. The light shone through the bank note, and he could clearly see the face of the bank note. It was two 500 yuan notes. Two silver bills!
Jin Daji's eyes became brighter in the night.

And the next moment, Pei Xingyuan withdrew his hand, stuffed the banknote back into his arms, and said with a smile, "Now, can I go?"

"..."

"When I get to the place and see the medicine, I'll give it to you right away."

Jin Daji stared at him for a while, then smiled and said, "Of course."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

Hearing the sound of dull footsteps approaching, a few tall black figures came out from the dark night behind him, and when he looked closely, they were actually several burly men, all dressed in black and full of beards, no wonder It was hidden in the night and could not be seen just now, even if you approach it at this time, it is like a black wall suddenly rising in front of you.

Looking at them, Pei Xingyuan's breath suddenly tightened, his hands holding the reins tensed, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

However, with a calm smile on his face, he said, "What are you doing?!"

Jin Daji smiled and said, "Young Master Pei, don't be nervous."

"..."

"These are all my brothers. I was afraid that Mr. Pei would play tricks, so I asked them to guard here. Now it seems that Mr. Pei promises a lot of money, and promises a thousand gold. It is my villain's heart."

"..."

The corner of Pei Xingyuan's mouth twitched slightly.

But there was still a calm smile on his face, but when he spoke, his voice trembled somewhat unconsciously.

He smiled and said, "I thought you were going to kill me."

When he said these words, his heartbeat was even a little disordered.

Recalling the last sentence Shen Wuzheng said at Shen's house during the day shocked him, and he didn't know how to choose for a moment - after all, even if he hadn't experienced the method of Guanghanke, he had seen it. Even someone like Yu Wenye almost lost his life at the hands of the opponent several times.

It can be seen that this person is cunning and ruthless.

Finally, Yu Wenye, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

He said, "If you don't go, I don't blame you; if you go, I will protect you."

Pei Xingyuan has been emphasizing that this time he is seeking victory from danger, because he himself understands that what happened tonight must be dangerous, but after hearing Yu Wenye's words and looking at Shen Wuzheng's clearly alienated but concerned eyes, He suddenly felt a sense of pride, and finally slapped the table: "I'll go!"

Hence the trip tonight.

However, at that moment just now, he did have a little bit of fear.

That Jin Daji also laughed, and while laughing, he led those burly men slowly approaching, and said: "Mr. Pei is serious, we are just asking for money, we don't want to kill him."

After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage, took the reins and whip from Pei Xingyuan's hand, and sat in his seat. Pei Xingyuan understood, and immediately moved aside.

That Jin Daji lightly waved his whip, and the carriage drove forward immediately.

The surrounding big men in black naturally followed both sides of the carriage, but when they left the north gate of Dongshi City and walked in, Pei Xingyuan glanced back subconsciously, only to find that one of the big men in black was staying behind. In place, motionless.

Pei Xingyuan was taken aback for a moment: "That person—"

While driving the car, Jin Daji smiled and said, "He just stayed there."

"why?"

"Tonight's affairs must be kept secret, so let him stay there, lest anyone follow us."

"..."

Pei Xingyuan's expression froze. He didn't expect that the other party would use such a method in order to prevent people from following him - you know, although this method looks stupid, sometimes, the more stupid the method is, the more effective it is. In the dark night, if someone wants to follow them, it will be difficult for the people in the carriage to notice, but if people are left on the way, no matter whether people or carriages pass by, they will definitely be alarmed.

Pei Xingyuan turned back again, looked at the north gate and the tall and strong figure who had gradually moved away, and after a while, he forced a smile and said: "You guys, you are really careful."

While driving the car, Jin Daji smiled and said, "No way."

"..."

"Young Master Pei should also understand that not only the two of us, but also not only the court, but the people of the entire Daxing City are staring at this little medicine. If we are not careful—"

Pei Xingyuan looked at him: "How?"

Jin Daji chuckled suddenly, and said: "I'm afraid that more people will die in this incident than in the plague!"

"...!"

Pei Xingyuan's eyes flickered slightly in the dark night.

After a while, he smiled and said, "Really."

While speaking, the carriage had already left the north gate, and even the faint light from the shaking lantern was gradually swallowed up by the dark night.

And on the other side, in another alley in another municipal road not far from the city.

Yu Wenye was dressed in black and was standing against the wall. Although he was motionless, as if he was still resting his mind with his eyes closed, his thin body was full of strength, like a leopard ready to hunt in the night, exuding a sense of strength and vigor. .

Behind him were a few subordinates, leading the horse in their hands. Because it was on the bit and the horse's hooves were wrapped with cloth, there was no sound.

Everyone is dormant here quietly, not even a cough or a breath.

Just then, there was a rush of footsteps running over.

Yu Wenye immediately opened his eyes. In the night, his pair of pure and restrained eyes were extraordinarily bright. The one who ran in was none other than Mu Xian who was also dressed in black but looked a little nervous.

He said: "Young master."

Yu Wenye said: "How?"

Mu Xian said in a deep voice: "The other party left someone at the north gate of Dongshi. Our people can't keep up, and they have already lost track of them."

"Lost?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenye frowned slightly.But he didn't get angry, and only said in a deep voice, "What about the people who are also arranged on the other roads?"

Mu Xian said out of breath: "The other party brought a lot of people, and every time they walk a certain distance, they leave a person at the intersection. The people we arranged on those roads can't move anymore."

"Oh?"

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes flickered slightly.

What a stupid way!
However, at this time, the more stupid the method is, the more direct it is, and even directly blocked their way.

Sure enough, as Shen Wuzheng said, they think deeply, and the other party also thinks deeply.

so now--

Hearing Mu Xian's words, the soldiers behind Yu Wenye became a little nervous, and they all stepped forward and said, "Second Young Master, what should we do next?"

"But you want to follow directly?"

"If this is the case, it will definitely startle the snake, and the actions tonight will be completely exposed."

"But if you don't follow, in case Mr. Pei—"

Hearing what they said, Mu Xian's expression became more and more entangled. As Yu Wenye's personal soldiers, they naturally only obeyed his orders, but Pei Xingyuan, as Yu Wenye's best friend, had known them for a long time. Well, this Second Young Master Pei is amiable and even more loyal. Even if they are not his subordinates, they still have considerable affection for this Young Master Pei.

If he really ignored it, wouldn't he be allowed to fall into danger?

Mu Xian held his breath and only stared at Yu Wenye nervously, as if waiting for him to pronounce a sentence.

After a while of compensation, but to the people around, it seemed that after an unknown period of silence, Yu Wenye suddenly said: "Did they not leave Dongshi?"

Mu Xian nodded: "Yes, their carriage has entered Dongshi, and the warehouse should be inside."

"..."

Yu Wenye pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Let's go!"

Mu Xian stared at him with wide eyes: "Second Young Master, we—don't care about Young Master Pei?"
