Li Fenglan suddenly became lazy. Sometimes she would stay in the house for a whole day without going out or interacting with others.
Tang Bailing's injury is much better, but he needs to rest. Anyway, Jiujiang had enough manpower and they didn't need their help, so Jade arranged for people to send Tang Bailing and Tan Wushuang back to Luoyang. The two sisters planned to wait a few days for Qian Wei to take action before heading to Yangzhou.
Finally, after Li Fenglan stayed in the house for three days, Feicui couldn't bear it anymore and forced her to go to the street.
Just in time for the May Festival, the night in Xizhushan Town is very lively, and the streets are crowded with people out for fun. Li Fenglan was dragged shopping by Jade reluctantly, muttering something that she didn't know what to say.
"What's the use of sleeping in the house every day? Can a man fly to your bed by himself?" Jade taught Li Fenglan a lesson as he walked.
"Oh... in front of a large crowd, you are a girl, are you ashamed to say this?"
"I'm not shy anyway. If you keep lying to others like this, you'll be ruined."
"I just rested for two days. I have been on tenterhooks every day these days."
"Aren't you worried now?"
"With you here, what should I be afraid of?"
Jade rolled her eyes, casually took down two bunches of candied haws-lubs from the stall next to her, dropped two coins, and then gave Li Fenglan a bunch of candied haws-gluts.
Li Fenglan said while eating: "My aunt said that eating sweet foods can easily make you gain weight."
"Then give it back to me."
"No."
The two of them walked around for more than an hour and ate countless kinds of snacks. It wasn't until their legs and mouth were tired that they thought of taking a break.
In a small teahouse by the lake, the two found a booth by the window to drink tea, eat and chat.
"That sweet-scented osmanthus cake is pretty good. Let's buy more when we go back and bring some to Amber."
"There are more delicious food in Yangzhou, so you don't have to worry."
Li Fenglan looked at the lake, then turned to ask Jade: "It's Amber's birthday this year, and you haven't given her anything yet."
"I gave."
"What did you give me?"
"Nothing, a bracelet...what did you give her?"
"Longevity Lock, there are hundreds of taels of it."
"I found... Amber is different from before."
"How to say?"
"I used to be happy for two or three months when I got a gift. If you gave her something, she would show it off to me the first time she saw me. What happened this year? It was silent."
"Now that I have a sweetheart, how can I have time to think about this? How can sisters be as important as men?"
"really."
"Hmph, you are the same, you forget your true love."
While the two were chatting, the compartment door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Jade immediately hit Li Fenglan behind her, and she twisted her right hand into sword fingers and placed it across her chest.
Jade didn't like being followed when going out, so she didn't let the dead men of the Bai family protect her in the dark.
Just as he was about to take action, he saw a scholar in green shirt in front of him. When he thought about it carefully, he saw that he was the scholar who was being chased on the street two days ago. His steps were sloppy and he obviously didn't know how to do martial arts.
The scholar hurriedly closed the door and said to the two sisters: "Girl, I'm offended... so what? I beg you to let me hide here."
Li Fenglan popped out her head from behind Jade, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
At this time, there were rapid and heavy footsteps in the corridor, and the sound was coming towards their private room. The scholar had no time to explain and hid behind the door in a hurry.
Just after hiding, the door was pushed open again. Two burly men stood at the door and asked politely: "Excuse me, two girls, did you see a young master Wen Sheng break in just now?"
Just as Jade was about to speak, Li Fenglan said with a smile, "No, Mr. Wensheng? Does he look good?"
The two said apologetically: "I'm sorry to bother you two."
After that, he closed the door and left. From the sounds coming from the corridor, they must have been checking the private rooms one by one.
When the scholar saw the sturdy man leaving, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, you've saved me... Ouch, I'm exhausted." Then he saw the tea on the table and asked with his little face, "I'm sorry for being rude, can you two beauties give me a reward?" Xiaosheng, would you like a cup of tea? Xiaosheng has been running for a long time and his mouth is dry."
Jade originally wanted to chase the scholar away. After all, one more thing is worse than one less thing, but Li Fenglan became more playful and said with a smile: "Drink, drink."
"Hi, thank you!"
The scholar sat at the table and poured himself some tea.
Jade turned to look at Li Fenglan and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Fenglan smiled and said, "It's not interesting. He looks good, so I'll do him a favor."
In fact, he is not very good-looking, but he is well-dressed, his skin is very white, and he looks gentle and weak.
The scholar drank a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, girl."
Li Fenglan smiled and waved her hand: "It doesn't matter, it's just a cup of tea."
At this time, Li Fenglan was still lying on Jade's back. She put her chin on Jade's shoulder and asked, "What's your surname?"
The scholar bowed: "The young man's surname is Zhao, and his single name is Han. Cold Han."
"Oh, Mr. Zhao... I saw you being chased two days ago, and I saw you again today. Do you owe someone money?"
Zhao Han said sheepishly: "No, I don't owe money. Xiaosheng's family is pretty well off."
"Then why are they chasing you?"
It seemed that Zhao Han's sadness was aroused. He slapped his thigh and said with a sad face: "This matter... it's a long story."
"Then tell me. Anyway, we have plenty of time now."
Jade glanced at Li Fenglan: "I said you... really miss a man?"
"Ah, what are you talking about? You're just interested."
Zhao Han said eloquently: "Actually... Xiaosheng is not from Jiujiang. Alas... I'm ashamed to say that those people are not my enemies. They... hey, they were hired by others."
Li Fenglan asked: "Hired? Hired to kill you?"
"Ah?" Zhao Han was a little confused, "Why kill me?"
"If I don't kill you, I might be protecting you."
"Almost... more like custody."
"how do I say this?"
Zhao Han said with a bitter look on his face: "I was originally a failed scholar. I failed the exam for a long time, and then I gave up. Anyway, my family has money, so I can make ends meet for the rest of my life. But I have an uncle who wandered around the world when he was young. I have seen I have listened to him telling me about the world since I was a child. The more I listened to it, the more I began to yearn for the world. This yearning made my hands itchy, and I thought... How about I write about it myself? I just started writing by accident. It doesn't matter what I wrote, something happened... Too many people liked reading it. I was just practicing my pen skills, but I never thought about finishing it. Those people in the world didn't know where they found out about me. Address, a large group of people came to my door to block me. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I left home. Who knew they would not let me go, and even paid people to watch me. Last year they caught me and imprisoned me in Xizi Although there were delicious food and drinks waiting for me at the lakeside, I really couldn’t stand being watched, so I looked for an opportunity to run away. Who knew that they wouldn’t stop even after I ran to Jiujiang, and actually chased me again... It wasn’t me who gave me I really can’t make up my own excuses! I didn’t mean to appease everyone.”
After hearing what he said, Jade asked seriously: "May I ask what your pen name is?"
Zhao Han said cheerfully: "Take it as you please, smiling scholar."
Li Fenglan's eyes widened instantly: "Is that book of yours called "The Legend of Breaking Demons"?"
Zhao Han was stunned. He originally thought these two were daughters of someone's family, but he had never heard that Miss Qianjin read Jianghu scripts.
Before he could answer, Li Fenglan shouted: "Jade! Catch him!"
Soon enough, Jade suddenly stepped out of the way, and before the frail scholar could react, he was already being pinned to the table with his hands behind his back.
Li Fenglan shouted again: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
Zhao Han was anxious: "No, girl, why is this?"
Jade held him down, gritted her teeth and asked, "What happened to the Blood Demon?"
Li Fenglan also asked: "Has the iron cassock been repaired?!"
Jade asked again: "Can Wang Ziqing be able to defeat the King of Hundred Lies?"
Zhao Han was about to cry: How could it be so small? It happened that he was hiding here, it happened that these two girls also read his books, and they happened to know martial arts.
"You two! You two!" Zhao Han begged for mercy loudly, "If you have something to say, please tell me! Please let Xiaosheng go! Xiaosheng must prepare generous gifts in return!"
Li Fenglan yelled: "Who wants your generous gift?! People like you are the most unethical! Either don't write! Or finish writing! What does it mean that half of the people ran away?!"
Zhao Han was about to cry but had no tears: "It's not that Xiaosheng doesn't want to write, Xiaosheng really can't write it! Even if you force me, I can't write it! I want to know the ending more than you do!"
Just as he was being pretentious, the door was pushed open from the outside again, and the two sturdy men ran towards this side when they heard Li Fenglan's shout.
Li Fenglan said: "You two, the person you are looking for is here."
The two men ran to the table with panic on their faces and said to Jade: "Girl, please be gentle and don't cause any harm to his arm."
Jade quickly let go of his hands: "I almost forgot, he has to write by hand."
The two big men helped Zhao Han up and said earnestly: "Master Zhao, why are you doing this? We will serve you delicious food and drink, just write well. Please tell us when you want to go out." We brothers have to keep an eye on you if you accept other people's money. How can we do our job if you run away?"
Zhao Han was so anxious that he almost knelt down: "You two, how much did you charge? Can Xiaosheng pay you double the compensation? Please let me go, I really can't write it down!"
A burly man smiled and said to Li Fenglan: "Thank you two girls for helping me, I have caused you trouble."
As he was about to take Zhao Han out, Li Fenglan stopped them: "Wait a minute."
"Girl, do you have any other instructions?"
Li Fenglan took out a small ingot and threw it to one of the big men: "This is meant for you two. You two should take the trouble to keep an eye on me."
Seeing the money, the two big men were very happy: "Thank you girl for the reward."
"By the way, where are you keeping him?"
"Feilaiju in the south of town."
"Okay, I understand, you should go back early."
Two sturdy men carried Zhao Han out of the private room. During this period, Zhao Han kept struggling and kept shouting, "I can't write it!" "Actually, I'm not a smiling scholar!" "I'm copying someone else's work!" "And so on.
The teahouse gradually became quiet, and Li Fenglan sighed: "I will never read those scripts that were sent out before they were finished."
Jade took a sip of tea and said, "The iron cassock is not repaired."
"What?"
"It wasn't repaired, so it was thrown away."
"How did you know?"
"It's written in the middle book, didn't you read it?"
Li Fenglan gritted her teeth and said, "You hate Jade, do you know that?"
After two days, Jade finally regained the victory. She sneered: "Who told you not to look at it?"
"Uh... Jade, are there any free hidden piles in the Bai family?"
"One or two more."
"Place one outside that flying residence."
Jade nodded cautiously: "What you said makes sense."
