Zuixianglou's business is very good. Although the owner has been changed and the waiter has been hired again, the food and wine still taste the same as before. In addition, the new owner's opening offer has made consumption cheaper than before, so there are more people than before these days.
"I didn't spend much money when I bought this restaurant. It can make a lot of money every year. It just so happens that the Bai family needs a stronghold here. The manpower is readily available, so I can just be the shopkeeper. Anyway, I don't have to point. It makes money."
Jade leaned against the window lattice of the private room on the second floor, telling Li Fenglan the ins and outs of this restaurant.
"Okay, you can," Li Fenglan teased, "I never liked to care about these things before. Ever since I became the young mistress of the Bai family, I have become very concerned about such things."
Jade rolled her eyes at her: "You must use the information here in the future and be kind to others. Don't act like someone owes you every day."
Li Fenglan held her cheek and stared blankly at the night view of Xizhushan Town outside the restaurant.
Feicui said: "This mountain town is the most prosperous place in this generation. It has restaurants, brothels, and gambling houses. It has people from all walks of life. It is the most convenient place to collect intelligence from all walks of life."
"kindness."
"There was basically no influence from Ye Yu Xiaozhu in this area before, but since you came here, spies from Ye Yu Xiaozhu have started to operate here."
"kindness."
"Are you listening to me?"
"I'm listening."
"Li Fenglan, you are running away, right?"
Li Fenglan turned to look at Jade and asked, "What am I running from?"
"It's hard for you to meet Xu Zhenbiao. The killers of Yeyu Xiaozhu are not only to protect him, but can kill him when necessary to prevent you from contacting him. You may not get anything when you come to Jiujiang this time , you know this very well."
"yes."
"Then you still want to come here? Why don't you come alone? What's this other than escaping?"
Li Fenglan turned her head away again and said nothing.
Jade sighed: "If you continue to break, you will suffer chaos."
"You haven't spent much time with Bai Shuyu, how did you learn all his ruthlessness?"
Jade frowned: "Is he ruthless?"
Li Fenglan chuckled softly: "Can't you see? Your wishful husband has more evil intentions than you think."
"Don't make random guesses about others."
"You are protecting food..." Li Fenglan looked into Jade's eyes, "Jade, I am not angry with you. The Bai family is hiding something from me."
"What are they hiding from you?"
"For the Bai family, his biggest enemy is not Ye Yu Xiaozhu, nor the man behind the scenes, but Li Fengyao. She set a trap for the Bai family from the beginning, and the half of the map was just a clear move. It's just that I haven't thought about her secret chess yet. Bai Shuyu is very afraid of my mother, and he doesn't even fully trust me. Jade, have you ever considered something?"
"What's up?"
"Even if the Bai family doesn't unite with us, it won't be difficult for them to restore the Bai family's intelligence network."
"Isn't it difficult?"
"No one knows about the dead men they raised secretly. Even if the Jianghu people find out later, they will not do anything to their Bai family. If this Jianghu can tolerate the existence of Ye Yu Xiaozhu, it can naturally tolerate the Bai family. If their family is still like this No one is willing to make great efforts to deal with the way they behaved like that nineteen years ago. All they have to do is do it step by step and step by step. But why do you want to ally with us? You know, we are the god of plague, and everyone avoids us. .”
Jade thought for a while: "Maybe they are unsure and want to use the power of Changfeng Tower."
"Nineteen years ago, the marriage between the Li family and the Shangguan family directly led to the disaster. Alliance with us will only make the world more fearful of them... Jade, when I first arrived at the Bai family last year, I thought about this. Understand: they want to use my identity to temporarily contain Li Fengyao. If I am really the daughter of Bai Ruoyun and my aunt, that would be the best. If not, it doesn’t matter, as long as Li Fengyao feels that the Bai family is temporarily
Just be obedient. "
"Is this what they're hiding from you?"
"right."
Jade changed her sitting position: "Is this all your guess?"
Li Fenglan smiled: "I hope I am wrong...but if one day Bai Shuyu really stands on the opposite side of me, who are you going to help?"
"help him."
"Hey! Why don't you answer without even thinking about it?"
Jade smiled slightly: "One is my future husband, and the other is my cheap sister. Who do you think I should help? Isn't this obvious? Are you not as good-looking as him?"
"White-eyed wolf, give me back the bracelet!"
"No."
The two girls started fighting in the box, and with Li Fenglan's skills, it was natural that Jade would press him down and beat him.
The two were playing around when they suddenly heard a noise in the street. They stopped playing and lay shoulder to shoulder on the window sill overlooking the street.
I saw a scholar in a green shirt running wildly. Not far away, two burly men were chasing him. There was a lot of excitement in the street, and pedestrians yelled and cursed in dissatisfaction.
Li Fenglan muttered: "Isn't this because I didn't pay for dinner at someone else's house?"
Jade shook her head: "No, this scholar has been chased several times."
"Ah? Have you seen it?"
"I met him twice in the past few days."
"Tsk, that's boring," Li Fenglan left the window, "Hey, Jade, do you want to drink?"
Jade looked at Li Fenglan: "Don't you like wine? Do you want to drink it?"
"This is your territory anyway. It's okay if you drink too much, right?"
"...Drink. Anyway, no one will listen to your drunken talk this time."
Being drunk can relieve a thousand worries, this is what Li Fenglan wishes in her heart.
In the morning, I changed into white clothes and put on a bell. People who I would never think of again suddenly appeared in my mind again. They are not far apart now, and it only takes half a day to see each other. But she didn't want to go, she was angry: she changed her name to Cinnabar and asked Tang Bailing to play Tourmaline, not only to be on par with Jade Amber in terms of name, but she also wanted the short-lived ghost to guess.
Who knew that after such a long time, she had made such a big fuss, but she didn't see him coming to find her.
Too heartless.
Li Fenglan was already dizzy after drinking two glasses of wine. She lay on Jade's lap, raised her wine glass and said loudly: "Toast to the bright moon! Make three people in front of each other!... Jade, why are there three people?" What? If the two are a pair, what about the extra one?"
"The extra one...is watching from the sidelines."
"You're teasing me again, it's boring." He said, drank the wine in the glass, and then smiled foolishly: "It's not that bad... burp..."
Jade gently waved her hand, fanning away the smell of alcohol sprayed by Li Fenglan: "If you drink any more, you'll get drunk."
Li Fenglan let go of her hand and the wine glass fell to the ground. She turned over and rested her head on Jade's thigh. She closed her eyes and said, "Jade... after those three glasses of wine last year... I seemed to be drunk until Now……"
"Three-legged toads are hard to find. Aren't there two-legged men all over the streets? Besides, people don't say they can't come back."
"But I don't know who he is... What if it's really Si Ye?"
"I heard that Senior Yue Cheng has a very good relationship with the Valley Master, and they are close friends. If Senior Yue Cheng was really killed by Si Ye, then... you will still suffer long-term pain rather than short-term pain. There is no relationship between the two of you. What happened? You have experienced life and death with us. Is he very special in your heart?"
Li Fenglan didn't answer because she was already asleep.
Jade sighed and ruffled her hair. At this time, the private room door opened, and a dead member of the Bai family walked in.
"Miss Jade, we have investigated, and it seems that Yeyu Xiaozhu's spies have only deployed manpower in Shuangye Village and Hewu Town, but not in Xizhushan Town yet."
"Where are the four money guards?"
"Stand still."
"How is the situation on Poyang Lake?"
"Jiulian Village was victorious in last night's battle. Now they are gathering troops to counterattack Shuangye Village. Shuangye Village's water bandits are out of ten and there is no room for resistance. The water bandit leader Li Tianbiao is already preparing to run away. "
Jade waved her hand: "Just keep staring."
"My subordinate understands."
"Go ahead."
"My subordinates resign."
