Tianxiang Tea House in Xiangyang City is famous in this generation. The tea is very authentic and the price is moderate. Li Fenglan likes to come here very much these days. Firstly, she can drink tea, and secondly, she can find out some rumors about the world.
On the second floor of the tea house, the girl in blue ordered a pot of purple bamboo shoots, took off the gauze scarf on her face, and took two sips.
The weather is nice today, the wind is sunny and sunny.
Behind her were two men in short attire, discussing something in a low voice.
"Did you hear that Fang Bei of Daqing Village was beheaded?"
"I heard that it seems that Han Lu, the head of Baiyun Village, did it. He sneaked into Daqing Village by himself, raised his knife and dropped it, and no one in Daqing Village noticed it."
The two of them were chatting happily when they suddenly heard the girl in blue not far behind them cough, and the good tea was sprayed all over half the table. The two of them just frowned slightly and didn't look twice.
Li Fenglan wiped the tea from the corner of her mouth and muttered in her heart: "Who is this Han Lu? Isn't Fang Beidang Tianzi Twenty-one? Is it so easy to kill a Tianzi master? I have never heard of Tianzi master. He is such a number one person."
The chat between the two Jianghu people behind him was still going on. Li Fenglan heard from them that several nearby villages had begun to show goodwill to Baiyun Village, and many villages even offered gifts. The August Festival is coming soon, and I heard that several villages are going to jointly hold a heroes conference, and they have specially invited Han Lu. It seems that they are planning to elect him as the leader of the alliance.
Li Fenglan was very depressed. She spent a lot of money to find someone to praise and kill him, but she didn't expect to make him a wedding dress?
However, Li Fenglan was depressed for a while. She knew very well the complexity of people's hearts. Those copycats showing favor to Baiyun Village at this time were not because they were really convinced, but simply because they couldn't afford to offend them. Fang Bei thought that such a fierce man could be beheaded by him without anyone noticing, and others could imagine it. The foundation of Baiyun Village is unstable. The more it rises, the faster it will die.
Thinking of this, Li Fenglan paid the bill, put on the gauze again and left the teahouse.
She has been running out of the city these days. It was time to replenish rice, flour, grain and oil at home, so she went to the grain and oil store first.
After coming out of the grain and oil store, she hired a porter to take her pile of goods. While walking towards home, Li Fenglan saw a tough-looking man in front of him, asking about something from a street vendor.
"Excuse me, have you ever seen a girl in white, who is quite tall and pretty, with bells hanging on her feet?"
The hawker shook his head: "I haven't seen it before." ap.
Then the big man went to ask others.
Hearing the big man's question just now, Li Fenglan felt her heart tremble: Could it be that he was looking for her? Who is this person?
Li Fenglan took out a few copper coins and threw them to the porter behind her, and ordered: "To the address I just told you, you take the things to the courtyard to the east and tell the old couple that these things were bought by the girl next door."
The porter took the money, said nothing, and walked away carrying the goods.
Li Fenglan looked at the people around her, but no one was paying attention to her. She slowed down her pace and pretended to pick something from a street vendor, but in fact she was secretly following the burly man.
The big man kept asking until the afternoon, but still found nothing, so he left Xiangyang City.
Li Fenglan followed him all the way until the day was about to go down the mountain and the big man walked into Baiyun Mountain. Li Fenglan did not stop and did not follow him.
Why are the bandits in Baiyun Mountain looking for me?
Could it be that... this Han Lu already knows that she is Mulan?
There were many things that Li Fenglan couldn't figure out, and she vaguely felt that she was involved in something strange again.
She has been running around outside the city these days and has not had a good sleep. After returning from Baiyun Mountain, she fell asleep until she was woken up by a knock on the door.
Li Fenglan opened her eyes drowsily and heard someone outside the bedroom door calling quietly but eagerly: "Sister Lan! Sister Lan!"
It's Chu Jiao'er.
Li Fenglan put on her coat and opened the door, and saw an anxious girl at the door.
"Jiao'er, why are you here?"
Chu Jiaoer entered the room, took Li Fenglan's hand and whispered
: "Sister Lan, our family knows that you have come to Xiangyang."
Li Fenglan was confused: "How do you know?"
"Some people have been asking about you in the city these days. Although they didn't say your name, they described your image that is spread in the world. White clothes, bells...Uncle and the others already know about it."
Li Fenglan asked: "Then what does your family mean?"
"The elders mean not to have contact with you...Pan is still banned, and I was only allowed to leave the house yesterday. Sister Lan, you must protect yourself. If you can't, come to my house. We are all relatives after all. Make your words clear and your family will protect you."
Li Fenglan shook her head: "You don't understand. If I go to your house now, it will only harm you. Jiao'er, are there many people out there asking about me?"
"Duo, the day before yesterday, my aunt went shopping for groceries and was asked by two groups of people. Moreover, those people had a bad tone and obviously wanted to harm you."
Li Fenglan lowered her head and thought for a moment: "Jiao'er, please go home quickly and don't run to me for a while."
"How is that possible! I promised Pan to protect you!"
"Don't worry, Sister Lan, I'm smart... You can take my horse away. I may not be at home very often during this period, so help me feed it."
When Chu Jiaoer saw that she couldn't convince Li Fenglan, she stopped insisting.
After the girl left, Li Fenglan fell into regret and self-blame. It's not a good idea to come to Xiangyang, nor is it a good idea to set up a trap for Baiyun Village without authorization. If those who come to see her think of her relationship with the Chen family in Xiangyang, they are afraid that the Chen family will be implicated.
In August, the weather has started to cool down.
Li Fenglan sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed in the yard, doing exercises and regulating her breath.
She actually knows a set of internal skills, but she practices them poorly. The main function is to maintain her own Qing Gong and recuperate when she suffers internal injuries. Of course, the biggest function of this set of exercises now is to calm her down so that she can think about the problem more deeply.
Now that the news of being in Xiangyang has spread, it's better to use the opportunity to muddy the spring water.
As the saying goes, it's easy to fish in troubled waters.
Li Fenglan smiled slightly, opened her eyes, and gently flicked the fallen leaves off her shoulders.
I will kill anyone who troubles me.
…
Mu Yun and Chen Wu were seriously injured. In addition to several stab wounds, they also suffered considerable internal injuries. They rested for seven or eight days in a row before they recovered.
He didn't go anywhere during this time, and he rarely even left the house.
He came out of the house after feeling that his injuries were healed.
It was still early, so I simply gathered my bosses together and asked them how their inquiries had been lately.
"Brothers have been searching in Xiangyang City for many days, but there is no news at all," Guo Shan said respectfully, "No one has seen any woman in white. But we are not completely without gains. Some brothers said... there are two more Someone is asking about Miss Li."
Mu Yun frowned: "There are two more groups of people? Who are these two groups of people?"
"We caught a few of them. They said they were seeking revenge on Miss Li. The other wave was very strange. The brothers couldn't track them and they always ran away."
"Bring the ones we caught first."
"yes."
Not long after, several men escorted three people to the hall. Seeing these three people, before Mu Yun could speak, Chen Wu directly took control of his body.
Chenwu laughed: "Hey, it's you three."
It was none other than the three men who were locked up with him that night. During this time, the two of them recovered a lot of memories, and recalled what happened when they were traveling with the three of them some time ago.
When the three people saw Chen Wu, they couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother Mu Yun! It's you!"
After shouting, the three people were a little confused: What happened? This kid has been traveling with them since Huizhou. Didn't you hear that he is the boss of that cottage? Looking at his current behavior, he looks like a copycat bandit leader.
Chenwu asked them: "Have you found Li Fenglan?"
"No, we were looking for it when we were... captured by your people. We have the same goal. Why?
Must it be so? Let us go quickly. "
Chen Wu shook his head: "Why don't you understand? When did I have the same goal as you? You want to kill her, but I am different. I want to capture her and bring her back to be the wife of the village."
The three of them were dumbfounded. Along the way, he never said that he had Li Fenglan's name tattooed on his arm because he liked her.
Chenwu waved his hand: "We just got to know each other. I don't want to kill you, but I don't want to let you go now."
"What do you want?"
"Tell me, who told you that Li Fenglan was in Xiangyang?"
The leading middle-aged man was a little embarrassed: "A mysterious person told us, and we don't know that mysterious person."
"Don't know me? Then why did I tell you the whereabouts of Li Fenglan?"
"Actually... that person should have not only told us, but also many people in the world who want Li Fenglan's life have received the news."
Chen Wu was shocked, and Mu Yun grabbed the body and asked loudly: "How many people are there!"
"We don't know. When we were asking around in the city during this period, we met a lot of people. They were all looking for Li Fenglan. There were people everywhere."
Nothing could be asked from these three people, so Mu Yun asked people to take them down and keep them under good supervision, so as not to take their lives for the time being.
Mu Yun felt a little irritated, and for the first time in his life, he complained a little bit about Li Fenglan: We haven't seen each other for half a year, where did you offend so many people?
While he was worrying, Guo Shan whispered: "Master, there are three more things to do."
Mu Yun asked: "Is there anything else?"
"A few days ago, all the major cottages in the surrounding area came to send gifts. The gifts vary in value, but they are all from my heart."
"You can charge as much as you give. If you don't accept it, they will feel uneasy."
"The second thing is that the leaders of Daqingzhai had a fight a few days ago and their energy was severely damaged."
"Let them be, as long as they don't trouble me. What about the third thing?"
"It's the August Festival, and the brothers in the underworld are planning to hold a heroes convention and invite you to participate. I asked someone to find out that this hero convention hasn't been held for more than ten years. I think they want to use it to This is an opportunity to curry favor with you."
Mu Yun thought for a moment: "Participate, where will this conference be held?"
"Sanwan Water Village is on the Han River on August 15th."
"The conference is fake, but the Hongmen Banquet is real. But it seems that I still have to participate. If I don't participate, who knows what they will do to me. Get ready, what day does it start today?"
"The seventh day of the lunar month."
Mu Yun murmured: "There are still nine days..."
Guo Shan reminded: "The head of the house is Ba Tian."
"I know."
