Luo Jinglong didn't have any bad intentions when he lied about his name. He knew what he was capable of, and it was just a matter of dying early and dying late.
They were all from the Luoyang area, and he had heard the name Nianzi Gang. Although their gang leader came from Chaolan Valley, he was not as evil-doing as Li Fenglan. In the past two or three years, they have been doing good things and doing good to the village, and are very popular among the people in this area. Therefore, no one is interested in them. Except for the trouble they encountered in the early days of joining the gang, and the fact that they were besieged by Ye Yu Xiaozhu last year due to the involvement of the Xianrentang, they are still relatively safe here.
Nowadays, there are three people who keep their word in the Nianzi Gang, the gang leader Fu Bufan, the deputy gang leader Tan Wushuang, and the white paper fan Tang Bailing. These three people all suddenly became famous in the past two years, and their fame has something to do with Li Fenglan.
In Luo Jinglong's view, this Fu Bufan has some brains, Tan Wushuang is just messing around, and Tang Bailing... this woman is much more dangerous. She has deep experience in the world and is quite scheming. At first, Fu Bufan wanted to take Luo Jinglong in, but Tang Bailing was opposed to it. Later, they discussed something and Tang Bailing no longer objected, but Luo Jinglong still looked wary.
After arriving at the Nianzi Gang, Luo Jinglong behaved very honestly. He was busy doing what he could before his injury healed. His kung fu was pretty good, and he often taught on his behalf when he was in the Songshan sect, so Fu Xiaohu asked him to take the time to teach the kids in the gang.
After living there for three to five days, Luo Jinglong actually... fell in love with this kind of life. You don’t have to fight with others, you have enough to eat, you have warm clothes, and you don’t have to worry about someone knocking on your door. Luo Jinglong once thought that he could live his whole life so plainly. Just pretend that his former self is dead, which is a good thing for himself and the Songshan Sect.
He didn't mention leaving, and Fu Xiaohu didn't chase him away.
During his time in the Nianzi Gang, through chatting with others, Luo Jinglong also understood the ins and outs of this gang. Before, this place was a den of low-life bandits, who supported their families by robbing families. After Fu Bufan came, he changed the gang's appearance and successfully transformed overnight.
The original leader, Wang Wubing, was getting older. He suffered many injuries when he was young. Now he has some inconvenience in his legs and feet. He sits in the courtyard every day to bask in the sun and watch his children practice martial arts. He looks like an ordinary old man enjoying his old age.
This made Luo Jinglong a little puzzled. The former bandit leader was not liquidated?
Later, he understood that it turned out that the leader of the Nianzi Gang fell in love with Wang Wubing's daughter.
No wonder.
After a busy day, Luo Jinglong was chopping firewood alone in the backyard kitchen in the evening. He worked very hard and made this place his home.
While he was chopping firewood, the grinder helping the white paper fan came over unexpectedly. Luo Jinglong hurriedly lowered his head. He was a little afraid of this woman.
The more he was afraid of something, the more he was afraid of it. Unexpectedly, Tang Bailing stopped beside him.
"Luo Jinglong."
After saying these three words, Luo Jinglong felt a thump in his heart.
Luo Jinglong clenched the ax in his hand, and after a long silence, he dropped the ax.
"Hey..." sighed, "Miss Tang, I couldn't escape your eyes."
"I know your affairs very well," Tang Bailing said without any emotion in his voice, "Tell me honestly, what are you doing in Nianzi Mountain?"
Luo Jinglong smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect to come, but I was brought here with your help. Now most of the world is chasing me. Do you understand this, girl?"
"I know."
"This is all thanks to you, Miss Li... Hey, I deserve it. I have no other thoughts. I just want to hide here for a while. When the world forgets about me, I will go somewhere else. I don't know what gold is." Others don’t believe that the God of Wealth’s treasure is hidden, but you are Miss Li’s, so you should believe it, right?”
"That's natural."
"If you are afraid that my identity will harm the Nianzi Gang, please leave me alone."
Tang Bailing looked at his arm as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing that Tang Bailing remained silent, Luo Jinglong said helplessly: "Forget it, you don't need to rush me, I'll go by myself. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone that you have helped me."
Tang Bailing shook his head: "I understand Miss Li. If she wasn't forced to do so, she wouldn't scheme against anyone like this.
You can stay with Nianzi, but...if you have bad intentions, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
After Tang Bailing finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Luo Jinglong said with a puzzled look on his face: "I don't understand you a little. To be honest, today's evaluation of you Xianrentang or Changfeng Tower in the world is mostly derogatory. You are the bad people. But I don't care about Miss Li. Even you, Gang Leader Fu, don’t seem to think of yourself as a bad guy.”
Tang Bailing stopped, turned around and said, "We are not bad people in the first place, we just have different positions. But don't be too lucky, keeping you here has other uses."
"What's the use?"
"You can't know yet."
Luo Jinglong said solemnly: "Whether you believe it or not, I don't actually want to be an enemy of Miss Li. Back then, Miss Li said outside Yaoxian Valley that it would be easier for everyone if she was the opponent. If it were someone else...then... It’s hard to say.”
Tang Bailing said nothing more.
The most measured person in this Nianzi Gang is Tang Bailing. As long as she thinks there is no problem, Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang will not raise any objections. Wang Xiaofu once said that Sister Bailing looks more like the gang leader.
…
More than half a month has passed since Li Fenglan was injured. Over the past half month, she felt that her health had not improved at all, and now she still needed help from others to get out of bed and move around. It seems that Doctor Hou is right. It is unlikely that her Qing Gong will be restored for a long time in the future.
It has been sunny for several days, but who knew it would be cloudy again today.
In the afternoon, Li Fenglan and Chen Linger were discussing things in the backyard. Li Fenglan had little contact with Chen Ling'er before, and the one who came to the Bai family and had the most contact was Bai Shuyu. Now that Bai Shuyu was sent out by Li Fenglan, he talked more with Chen Ling'er. After this conversation, Li Fenglan understood why Bai Shuyu wanted to keep Chen Ling'er. This girl is so thoughtful and reacts to many things faster than Li Fenglan.
"Miss Ling'er, could you please tell me about Chen Zijue?"
Chen Ling'er was stunned for a moment by Li Fenglan's words, and then asked: "During this period, has Miss Li been in contact with Chen Zijue?"
Li Fenglan nodded: "I've seen him before. I saw him right after entering Luoyang City. He let me see him on purpose."
"His style," Chen Ling'er said softly, "is always a bit bold... I actually don't know much about him. When he first learned his skills from my father, my father taught him the first thing The thing is to hide one's heart. In the years when I came into contact with him, he implemented it very well and kept his emotions and anger secret. Sometimes, he would not even tell the big boss about his strategies. I knew that Miss Li wanted to be with him for a short time. Form an alliance, but I still have to give you a piece of advice...be careful."
"That's natural."
Li Fenglan originally wanted to stretch, but the pain in her chest prevented her from opening her arms, so she had to give up.
Chen Ling'er said: "By the way, Taotie's whereabouts have been found. Do you want to send someone to follow him?"
Li Fenglan shook his head: "Don't follow him, so as not to alert others. He is a minor character, so don't take it too seriously."
Chen Linger nodded. At this time, Lian Rong walked into the courtyard. She seemed to have been waiting outside the moon gate for a long time, and did not come in until the conversation between the two was over. Lian Rong is a very discerning person and never disturbs the conversations between the gentlemen and young ladies.
"Miss Li, Miss Ling'er, you have been sitting here all afternoon, please take a rest."
Chen Ling'er smiled and said, "It's been a busy day and I'm tired. Miss Li, I'll take my leave now."
"Miss Ling'er, walk slowly."
After Chen Ling'er left, Lian Rong smiled and said to Li Fenglan: "Miss Li, let me help you go out for a walk."
Doctor Hou asked Li Fenglan to move more, but due to the pain in her body, Li Fenglan did not want to move at all. These days Lian Rong takes care of her daily life and often encourages her to move around.
Li Fenglan looked bitter: "It's almost going to rain. Let's go tomorrow."
"We're not going out, you haven't walked a few steps today, come on."
Li Fenglan had no choice but to stand up with Lian Rong's help.
Lian Rong asked: "Young lady has been staying at my house for such a long time, are you still used to it?"
Li Fenglan replied: "Very good...Lian Rong, what did you do before?"
The two of them started walking slowly. Lian Rong carefully supported Li Fenglan while answering: "I was sold to Baihualou a few years ago. Later, Mr. Qin saw that I had talent and a clean foundation, so he took me out to share those secrets." The raised dead soldiers live together. But what I learned is not martial arts, but intelligence."
Li Fenglan asked: "Is it boring?"
"It's okay, it's better than ending up in a brothel."
While talking, the two of them had already walked outside the forbidden area.
Lian Rong asked: "Miss Li, you haven't visited...have you seen my young lady?"
Li Fenglan knew that Bai Xueyan was buried in the Bai family's forbidden area, but he couldn't even get out of bed some time ago, so even if he wanted to pay homage, he wouldn't have the ability. The road in the forbidden area is not easy to walk, and Li Fenglan wants to go there in a few days when she feels better. Who knew that Lian Rong had already helped her walk towards the forbidden area.
In desperation, Li Fenglan had no choice but to compromise.
"After the young lady left, the young masters were all in despair... After the second young master left, I felt that the eldest young master had lost his fighting spirit."
Li Fenglan said softly: "Yes, the eldest young master and the second young master are the hands and feet of the Bai family, your third young master is the brains of the Bai family, and sister Bai is the backbone of the Bai family. If she is gone, your family will not be destroyed. Not bad."
Li Fenglan suddenly frowned. She saw many pits in the forbidden area and asked, "What are these pits about?"
"It rained heavily for several days and the ground subsided."
Li Fenglan said "Oh". At this time, she had already seen the lonely grave, standing alone next to a pile of rubble, looking a little desolate.
Approaching the tomb, Li Fenglan sighed softly and said, "Everything in the world is unpredictable, Sister Bai... Feicui is going to marry into your family. With this relationship, I will also keep your family. You can rest assured... eh?"
Li Fenglan suddenly felt something was wrong.
Two or three steps away from this tomb is a pit, more than three meters deep. It has rained for so many days, and the ground is sinking everywhere... Logically speaking... hollow things like graves should be the first to sink, right? Even if there is no tomb, because the ground has been turned over, it is softer than elsewhere.
Li Fenglan's frown deepened: "Lianrong... how much do you know about the Bai family?"
Lian Rong replied: "Generally, gentlemen and young ladies will not avoid me when discussing issues, but I can't help but refuse to listen. I know quite a lot...Why does Miss Li ask this?"
Li Fenglan smiled slightly: "Your young lady is not dead. Do you know this?"
Lian Rong was a little shocked: "What did you say?"
Li Fenglan felt a little relieved and said to herself: It's not the fault of the Bai brothers for hiding it from themselves. After all, such a big thing happened, and they certainly didn't want outsiders like Li Fenglan to know about it.
Lian Rong seemed to have come to her senses and hurriedly whispered: "Miss, you can't tell anyone about this..."
"I'm sensible...but I'm curious, is there anything else Bai Shuyu is hiding from me?"
"It's not necessarily that my young master is hiding this from you, right?"
Li Fenglan replied: "Indeed...but it's not necessarily true for other things."
After figuring out the "grave" issue, Li Fenglan's mind suddenly became much more flexible. Due to her injury a few days ago, she was a little clumsy when thinking about problems. Now that her mind has opened up, she has thought of many things.
The intelligence system of Yeyu Xiaozhu in the later period was completely shrunk and could only cover the Luzhou area. Then...how did Chen Zijue know about her being in Xiangyang? At that time, only the Bai family knew her whereabouts, and they kept it secret from Jade and the others. Thinking about it, only Bai Shuyu could betray her. But although Bai Shuyu made many small moves, he knew his priorities clearly. At that time, there was no benefit at all from betraying himself.
Is it a mole?
But by that time, the Bai family had already found the mole.
Could it be...
Lian Rong gently patted Li Fenglan's back and asked with a smile: "What did Miss Li think of?"
This sentence was like a thunder from the sky. She had figured out some problems. Li Fenglan only felt that she
Her hair stood on end, she would rather she guessed wrong.
Lian Rong whispered in her ear: "It's too late..."
Then, Li Fenglan felt a push on her back, and she lost control of her whole body. She fell into a pit not far away, her body hit the wall of the pit, and after a few rolls, she lay at the bottom of the pit. The fall was so heavy that several ribs seemed to be broken, and arms and legs were damaged to varying degrees. She wanted to shout for help, but found that there seemed to be something wrong with her lungs and she couldn't speak loudly at all.
After coughing a few times and spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, she felt her consciousness begin to blur.
Lian Rong stood on it with a pure smile on her face.
"Ms. Li, it's going to rain."
As soon as he finished speaking, raindrops began to fall. In just a few breaths, heavy rain came.
This kind of pit will be filled up in less than a quarter of an hour before such a heavy rain. Of course, there is another situation...the surrounding sediment was washed away by water, filling the entire pit.
The moment Li Fenglan lost consciousness, the question that came to his mind was: Is Lianrong a member of Nuyuan, or a remnant of Yeyu Xiaozhu?
It's so dark, so scary.
