late at night.
In a third-floor guest room of an inn in Xiangdi.
Leng Mei had just finished washing her clothes, and before her scattered hair could be tied up again, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk.
It was clearly just a light knock with the same weight and rhythm. What was special about it was that perhaps the knock on the door was usually three or two, but the person knocking outside the door knocked four times in a row.
Leng Mei also heard the meaning of "I'm back" from it.
Naturally, the person coming was none other than Jiang Yichen.
After staying on Butterfly Island for one more day, Sanrenju and his party escaped from Fujian five days ago under the "escort" of Smiling Maitreya and Shadow Buddha, and parted ways in Shaojun, Lingnan.
Jiang Yichen followed Bing Yi and others all the way to Qiandi before leaving with peace of mind.
Only this time, Jiang Yichen was no longer alone, but was accompanied by Leng Mei.
Jiang Yichen did not forget the agreement they made after they escaped from Yin Yang Valley.
——If one day, you and I can sleep under the same roof, I will go wherever you go.
But this time he reunited with Leng Mei until he said goodbye to everyone in Sanrenju, he never mentioned this agreement, obviously he had other plans.
Of course Leng Mei did not forget this agreement.
So even if Jiang Yichen didn't say a word, she followed him.
What's more, she had already seen that Jiang Yichen was going to take risks next, so she had no intention of taking her with him.
Leng Mei couldn't agree anymore.
She didn't speak a word, but stood up and quickly came to the door, opening the door for him herself.
Jiang Yichen entered the room with a plate full of food in one hand.
He didn't show off in front of his face, but no matter what disguise he put on, he always looked the same to Leng Mei.
They are all so kind, kind, and understanding.
It seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the feared cold-blooded killer Night Owl.
She seems to be too.
——The former number one female killer in the Demon Palace from Yin Yang Valley to today, will she be the same in his opinion?
The moment Leng Mei closed the door again, such thoughts flashed through her mind.
The two of them separated from Bing Yi and others this morning, and then arrived at this small town in Xiangdi late at night and found this inn to stay overnight.
The town is not big.
The inn is unique.
Fortunately, the inn is not small, with four floors and at least thirty rooms.
Maybe it's on an important road, so the inn's business is good.
When the two stayed in the hotel, there were only three rooms left.
Even late at night, there were still chefs cooking and cooking in the inn kitchen, and the waiters were too busy working without even touching the floor.
After only sending a bucket of hot water, nothing happened.
After a long day's journey, Jiang Yichen was afraid that Leng Mei would be hungry, so he went directly downstairs to order and serve the food himself.
Leng Mei divided two bowls of rice before Jiang Yichen, and then added layers of vegetables into the other's bowl. Finally, she added a large chicken leg, and then she started to enjoy her late night snack with satisfaction.
Jiang Yichen looked at the masterpiece in the bowl and said with a smile: "Then I'd like to thank Miss Leng for the reward."
After Leng Mei swallowed her food, she raised her head slightly, pursed her lips, and hummed angrily on purpose: "No matter how sweet you talk, no matter how extravagant your words are, you can never persuade me to leave!"
Jiang Yichen was surprised and asked: "Why did you say that? I swear I have never had such an idea."
Leng Mei glanced sideways at Jiang Yichen while eating, as if she wanted to see if the other party was showing off.
Unexpectedly, he didn't observe the reason. For the first time, he felt a little frustrated and asked: "Really?"
Jiang Yichen insisted: "No."
Leng Mei said: "Then you didn't plan to take me with you in the first place?"
This time Jiang Yichen admitted his cowardice and could no longer pretend to have a clear conscience, so he said honestly: "Yes."
Leng Mei was a little annoyed by this answer, but she was relieved to see that Jiang Yichen had returned to his normal self.
Asked: "Are you going to do something dangerous?"
Jiang Yichen replied: "Yes."
"How dangerous is it?"
"Crossing the dragon's pond into the tiger's den."
"Are you going to kill someone?"
"uncertain."
"uncertain?"
"Kill and save."
Leng Mei thought about it for a moment and then said: "Are you going to help the murderer kill someone, or help the murderer get out of trouble after killing someone?"
Jiang Yichen said: "Yes."
Leng Mei said: "Back to the question just now, why didn't you plan to persuade me to leave?"
Jiang Yichen said: "Can I drive you away or persuade you to leave?"
Leng Mei affirmed: "Of course not."
"Mo Li, Mo Li, of course I already know the meaning of your pseudonym."
Jiang Yichen was thinking this in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "I also know that you, like me, are not the kind of people who can easily listen to advice."
Leng Mei raised her eyebrows and quickly held the bowl steady with one hand, leaving her other hand free to pinch Jiang Yichen's nose or ears.
Jiang Yichen still smiled and said: "There are more people, more effort, and with you here, I feel more confident."
Leng Mei's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she said, "I like to hear this."
Jiang Yichen handed the chicken drumstick to Leng Mei's mouth and said: "So, when the time comes, we, the Leng heroine, will also be asked to help. The heroine Leng must eat this chicken drumstick."
Leng Mei only opened her mouth and took a bite, then pushed back the chicken drumstick and Jiang Yichen's hand, muttering: "I don't know how to take one more, so I don't have to be humble here."
Jiang Yichen put on a grimace and said, "This is the last chicken drumstick in the kitchen. I managed to snatch it away. Please accept it with a smile from the heroine."
Leng Mei didn't bother Jiang Yichen and took another big bite before pushing the chicken drumstick back to the other person's mouth.
Jiang Yichen no longer pushed back and forth unnecessarily. During the meal, Tong Lengmei revealed the true identity of the smiling Maitreya, the relationship between Master Tinglan and him, and his plan to go north to Youjing this time.
Leng Mei listened very carefully and was extremely shocked by the many truths she heard.
He even once held his breath and focused on two things to prevent the ears of the wall.
Until the end, he bit the end of the tachyon's head, blinked and pretended to be innocent, and said, "Is this something I can hear?"
This was the first time Jiang Yichen saw Leng Mei looking so naughty and sweet. He patted her head and said, "Are you scared? If so, just go back and wait until I come back..."
Leng Mei didn't wait for Jiang Yichen to finish speaking before she put her fingers between his lips.
Jiang Yichen obediently shut his mouth and waited.
Leng Mei didn't care what Jiang Yichen planned to use to provoke him, but she was determined to follow him anyway.
He just asked: "Your aunt must have refused your help, right?"
Jiang Yichen did not deny it.
During the three-day and two-night journey from Butterfly Island to Lingnan, Mr. Tinglan rejected Jiang Yichen's proposal to go north together several times.
Although Jiang Yichen had never met most of the Huo family, he still hoped to do something for Zhemei Villa and the Huo family as Yinniang's son, but Master Tinglan always refused.
Jiang Yichen said: "My aunt said she had put her life on the line there a long time ago, and I still have more important things to do."
Leng Mei analyzed: "The Red Sect has collapsed. The Japanese side needs to be more determined to take action. The Northeast side has temporarily suppressed Wala's offensive arrogance. At this time, we can enter Youjing to press this heavy bet. If it succeeds, it will cause chaos in the Zhongzhou court for a while, but it will help stabilize the overall situation of Zhongzhou. Smiling Maitreya picked this time to make his move. He excluded you from the plan because he didn’t want you. Secondly, you are involved in danger so that if something goes wrong, you won’t be able to get away with it.”
Jiang Yichen naturally weighed the pros and cons and sighed: "Not bad."
Leng Mei added: "But you already have too many lice and are not itchy. Besides, your aunt has her reasons, but if you are determined to help your aunt, then nothing else is more important than this."
Jiang Yichen could only nod and said: "Not bad."
Leng Mei said: "Then if you want to help your aunt, you can't do without me."
Jiang Yichen expressed that he was all ears.
Leng Mei said: "Do you know whether your aunt is going to attack the admiral inside the palace or outside the palace?"
Jiang Yichen said: "I don't know."
Leng Mei said: "If we were in the palace, it would be easier to get it, but it would be difficult to escape. If we were in Youjing City, we would be constrained everywhere, but after we get it, we wouldn't have to worry about having nowhere to go."
Jiang Yichen listened and waited for Leng Mei to continue speaking.
Leng Mei said: "You are rushing here in a hurry, and you don't have much time to get familiar with the situation in Youjing City."
Jiang Yichen had to admit: "Almost none. I can only borrow some maps from the ANBU and learn about them on the way."
Leng Mei said: "How can a dead map be as useful as a living map?"
Jiang Yichen was even more surprised and said: "Are you the living map?!"
Leng Mei said: "Although I have never entered the palace, I have been to Youjing no less than ten times. The last time I went there was probably three years ago, and I stayed there for half a month. Earlier, Brother Ergou asked me to study How did the Guoyuluo Tribe kill an important minister in Youjing and then leave."
Jiang Yichen learned from Feng and the old man respectively about the meticulous plan and subsequent deployment of the Yuluo Tribe's operation. Unexpectedly, the Demon Palace had studied this. He was not curious to find out why Long Duoduo also felt about this. Interested, he just said: "So you already have a good idea of the layout of Youjing City."
Leng Mei said slightly curiously: "I thought you would ask why we studied the beheading operation of the Yuluo Tribe, or ask me what I found out."
Jiang Yichen said obediently: "Then why did you study the Yu Luo Tribe's beheading operation, and what did you study?"
Leng Mei put her head aside and refused to answer.
Jiang Yichen reached out and gently pinched Leng Mei's delicate earlobes, and "pushed" the other person's head straight.
He smiled and said: "Even if there is a fight in the palace, my uncle will be there to help, so we, the cold heroines, have to go, right?"
Leng Mei raised her hand and tapped Jiang Yichen's head lightly, and said, "You can teach a kid."
