The Chen family does have their own house in Shi'an City, and as Mr. Chen said before, this house is empty. There is only an old and dim-eyed concierge responsible for daily maintenance.
Perhaps it was because no one had come here for a long time. The old man looked very happy when he saw Xiao Han and his party. He followed them from the moment they entered the door, chattering about old stories about old millet and rotten sesame seeds. Boss Chen was very annoyed by what he heard. He scolded him a few times angrily, and then his ears cleared.
Seeing Boss Chen scolding and leaving the concierge, Xiao Han and others, who were a little worried about being exposed, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They washed their faces a few times in a hurry and went to the bedroom to rest without even eating.
Among them, as the key subject of supervision, Boss Chen slept in the same room with the imperial guards. As for Xiao Han, he lived with Ren Qing, so that they could take care of each other.
A night of silence
Early the next morning, a loud noise outside the yard woke Xiao Han from his sleep.
Getting up haphazardly, Xiao Han rubbed his eyes and looked at the other bed, but it didn't matter. Ren Qing, who was supposed to be sleeping on it, was nowhere to be seen!
Shocked in his heart, he was about to rush out to look for someone, but he bumped into Ren Qing who happened to be walking in.
"Oh, you, what did you do so early in the morning?" Xiao Han covered his head and took a few steps back, grinning and asked Ren Qing.
Ren Qing, who was holding a baggage in his hand, frowned slightly and said, "I went out to lie down and find something by the way."
"what?"
"Gouache!"
"Gouache? The kind of gouache women use? Why are you looking for this? Do you still have a lover in Shi'an City?"
"..."
It was obvious that Xiao Han thought too much.
Because Ren Qing was not looking for gouache to give to her little lover, but to apply it on Xiao Han's fair face.
As a pampered noble prince, although Xiao Han's appearance is not outstanding, his face can be said to be relatively fair.
Such a face would not be a problem in Chang'an, a place where officials are as numerous as dogs, and young masters are everywhere, but in Lingnan, it would seem a bit out of place.
After all, due to differences in lighting and regions, most people here in Lingnan have dark skin, and fair faces like Xiao Han stand out among the crowd. Otherwise, the girl named Xun'er wouldn't be able to find him accurately every time from such a distance.
After entering the room and closing the door, he put the bundle on the table and spread it out. Xiao Han didn't care to rub his head at this time. He followed him curiously and saw that there were not only various gouache in the bundle, but also many bottles and cans. , even fake beards and fake hair.
"You went out early in the morning, weren't you looking for those people?" Xiao Han reached out to fiddle with a few of the things out of curiosity, and looked at Ren Qing suspiciously.
With such a complete set of disguise tools, Xiao Han could not think of anyone else except Baiqi who might use them.
"Yes!" Ren Qing nodded, not hiding anything about it.
"Oh? Then what did you tell them?" Xiao Han frowned slightly and asked.
"Time is too tight, I don't have much to say."
"What about them today?"
"According to circumstances!"
Ren Qing said simply, there was nothing he could do. There was no plan at all at this time, because even Ren Qing himself had no plan.
Therefore, he could only tell Baiqi's people simply: There are only two tasks today!
The first is to inquire about the recent movements of the Feng family members.
The second is to try every means to find out whether the Feng family has ordered sulfur in large quantities recently!
If they can confirm these two pieces of information, then Ren Qing will drag Xiao Han away from Lingnan without hesitation. As for the next matter, Liu Hongji will most likely need to handle it.
Gouache mixed with grease is very uncomfortable when applied on the face, not to mention that there is a mustache stuck under the nose.
The itching made Xiao Han want to reach out and wipe it, but under Ren Qing's cold eyes, he had to resist the urge and walked out of the room with a dark face.
In the small courtyard outside, Boss Chen and the guards, who were busy tying the gifts back onto the horse, were obviously stunned after seeing the freshly baked Xiao Han. Two bastards even had their cheeks trembling. , almost laughed out loud on the spot.
"What are you looking at!"
Just when everyone was staring at Xiao Han with strange expressions, Ren Qing came over from behind with a cold face, and his sharp eyes swept across the faces of several people, frightening the two people who were working hard to suppress their laughter and immediately became honest. Shut your mouth and say nothing.
"Da-king?"
Boss Chen who was standing aside didn’t smile, and he wasn’t in the mood to laugh either!
Having barely slept all night yesterday, with dark circles under his eyes, he mustered up all his courage and asked Xiao Han and Ren Qing, "Are we really going to the Chen family today?"
Boss Chen has been holding this sentence in his heart all night.
He didn't know what these bold guys were going to do, but he could guess: nothing good would happen to these people when they went to Feng's house! And maybe, even he might be involved.
"Go!" Ren Qing glanced at Boss Chen and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that you know a lot of people in charge? It just so happens that you take this opportunity today to let me know that your Chen family is in urgent need of improvement recently. Batch sulfur! As for the price, it’s easy to negotiate!”
"Introducing a large amount of sulfur?" Boss Chen's eyes were obviously confused when he heard this: "What do you want that thing for? It smells weird. No one uses that thing except to smoke insects."
"You do whatever I ask you to do! Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Xiao Han couldn't help but snorted when he saw Boss Chen's confused look: "As long as you can find someone who can ship sulfur in large quantities this time , I can give you the antidote today."
"Can you give me the antidote today?"
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Han said these words, Boss Chen's eyes immediately widened! He didn't care whether it was sulfur or not. Even if Xiao Han soaked this thing in water and drank it, it was none of his business? In this world, what else is more important than your own life?
"Are you not lying?" Boss Chen, who looked at Xiao Han eagerly like a pug, was afraid that this was just a joke made by Xiao Han.
"Nonsense! When have I ever lied to anyone?" Xiao Han glanced at him and snorted coldly! However, in his heart, he silently added: "The people I lie to are not human beings!"
"Okay, it's a deal! Isn't it just sulfur? Although that thing is not used much, today every household in Lingnan will send someone to come. If you want it, I will ask you one by one!"
With this promise from Xiao Han, Boss Chen obviously regained his energy. He no longer looked like a dead mother before, but began to rush about in a hurry, almost urging Xiao Han to go out quickly.
