Chapter 62
At dawn on the second day, Yin time.
After Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan bid farewell to the kind couple who took them in, they drove to Luoyang. The city gate of Luoyang had been opened, but they did not enter the city directly, but turned to the forest not far from the city gate. inside.After half a stick of incense, two ordinary-looking men with plain clothes came out of the woods.
One was a little thinner, with pockmarks on his face, and at first glance looked a little humble, wearing a gray coarse linen jacket.The other one was taller, with a darker complexion than ordinary people, with two beards hanging on his lips, and his movements were slightly rude.
After some disguise in the woods, Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan could still see a little of their usual appearance, but they were only somewhat similar.They restrained their temperament, especially Xiao Jin deliberately showed the rudeness of a rough man, making it difficult for those who have never seen them to distinguish the real from the fake.
Xiao Jin led the horse and walked beside Wen Yelan, looked him up and down at his clothes and attire, and said with a smile: "Master, Xiao is quite honored to see you like this."
Wen Yelan gave him a squinting look, feeling a little helpless with his half teasing, half joking tone: "Liu Daming, I, Dong Ping, have always looked like this."
When Xiao Jin heard that he called himself Dong Ping, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he said in a very face-saving way: "Yes, what Brother Dong Ping said is true, Brother Liu is stunned."
Wen Yelan slightly raised his eyelids, led the horse to look in the direction of the city gate, and said softly: "Although the rebellion of the refugees has subsided, people in Luoyang are panicking now. We don't know if those refugees who escaped will make trouble again. I know. The yamen is probably muddling along, if you can ignore it, just ignore it, I am asking one last time now, do you really want to go in with me?"
Having said this, Wen Yelan looked sideways at Xiao Jin, his eyes were bright and serious.
Xiao Jin nodded, looked at the lazy guards guarding outside the city gate, looked back at First Young Master Wen, who was only three-pointed in his usual appearance, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Brother Dong Ping wants to throw Eldest Brother in the wilderness?" Is it in the countryside?"
Wilderness?
What kind of wilderness is a hundred meters away from the city gate of Luoyang? Wen Yelan was amused by his straightforward and confident appearance.
Xiao Jin looked at Wen Yelan, whose cold brows and eyes had softened, looked at him with the same serious eyes, and said word by word: "The things I decide never give me room to regret."
Wen Yelan was stunned for a second, looked away, walked forward quickly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly where Xiao Jin couldn't see.
"Liu Daming, remember what you said today."
"Yes, yes. Brother Dong Ping is right."
Xiao Jin quickly followed Wen Yelan's pace with a playful smile.
Because of the riot of refugees not long ago, there are only a handful of people who have entered the city today, so you can see it.The guards guarding the gate just casually glanced at the guides in their hands, and let the people who were about to enter the city in without asking any further questions.Being so lazy today seems to have changed drastically from the seriousness of closing the city gate yesterday.
Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan entered the city, and Xiao Jin looked back at the sleepy-eyed guard with a somewhat inexplicable expression.
Seeing his appearance, Wen Yelan asked, "You think they're a little strange?"
Xiao Jin turned his head, pondered for a while, nodded at him and said, "I think it's a little strange, the government here seems...somewhat unpredictable."
"Perhaps, the government here is already someone's running dog. Let's go, let's find someone first." Wen Yelan didn't say much, looked around, and led the horse towards the right.
Xiao Jin also knows that there are many people on the street with mixed ears. If they stand here and say too much, some caring people may listen to them.
Wen Yelan turned left and right, and at the innermost side of a small road, he found the mansion that sold homemade aromatherapy.After Wen Yelan handed the rope to Xiao Jin, she raised her hand and knocked long and short three times. There was no movement in the door, and everything was quiet.
Wen Yelan raised his hand and knocked on the door again, this time he knocked twice short and once long, this time they waited for a while, and finally there was movement inside the door.
There was a creaking sound from the door, and a little girl with a baby face and two buns poked out half of her head, staring at Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan with round, dark eyes.
"Is this the person who came to deliver the materials to us?" The little girl asked crisply.
Wen Yelan smiled and said, "Yes, we have already agreed with the shopkeeper here. My name is Dong Ping and he is Liu Daming."
"Wait a moment, I'll ask the shopkeeper." After the little girl finished speaking, she closed the door and ran back to the inner courtyard without looking back.
Wen Yelan's face was very calm, and he stood quietly outside the door and waited.
The time for half a cup of tea passed quickly, and there was another familiar babbling sound at the door, and the black-brown wooden door was pushed open again. He looks very young, and looks like a young man who is only a few years older than Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan.
The young man was wearing a blue shirt that had been washed a little whitish, and a black cloth was wrapped around his chest, with deep and shallow marks on it.His eyes were beautiful, very dark, but upon closer inspection they seemed to lack light.He just stood there, making people feel like he was in the spring breeze. His eyebrows and eyes were curved, and his whole body was filled with a gentle temperament.
After Wen Yelan saw the young man, he asked aloud, "Mr. Luo Lan?"
The young man turned his head, and after three seconds, he turned his eyes to Wen Yelan's direction, nodded with a smile, "I am, you are the ones who sell the materials?"
"Correct."
"Please come in first." The young man named Luo Lanjun gave way slightly.
Wen Yelan and Xiao Jin tied the horses to the door before walking into the young man's house.After the young man let them in, he fumbled for the handle on the door and slowly locked the wooden door.Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows, and looked at him thoughtfully.Luo Lanjun seemed to be a little aware of it, and looked back at Xiao Jin, revealing a faint smile.
Xiao Jin watched the young man's appearance, and the guess in his heart was confirmed.
"Come with me, I've asked Xiao Linger to prepare refreshments." Luo Lanjun walked to the front, he walked slowly, but every step was very steady.
Luo Lanjun led Xiao Jin and the others into the hall. The hall was very wide and there were few things. There were only a few chairs regularly placed on one side.The little girl they had seen before, Xiao Ling'er, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, was already standing pretty in the hall waiting for them. When she saw Luo Lanjun and Xiao Jin, she had a pretty look on her face. With a smile, she grinned and said, "Brother Luo, I've prepared tea."
Luo Lanjun raised his hand, Xiao Linger took the initiative to go up and rubbed his head against Luo Lanjun's palm, Luo Lanjun patted her head gently, and said with a smile: "Little Linger is awesome. "
Xiao Ling'er smirked, touched her cheek shyly, and ran away.
Listening to her panicked footsteps, Mr. Luo Lan shook his head helplessly, turned his head to Xiao Jin and the others in embarrassment and said: "Xiao Ling'er is a little self-conscious, I made you laugh."
Wen Yelan shook her head and said, "No, the little girl is quite cute."
"Xiao Ling'er has been busy taking care of me, and it's my fault that she seldom interacts with people." Luo Lanjun smiled, walked to a seat, reached out to touch it, and then sat down slowly, "You should also I can see it, my eyes can't see it."
Wen Yelan stared at him. When the other party said that he "couldn't see", he acted calmly, as if he was discussing a trivial matter with a friend.
Wen Yelan didn't know how to answer him, so she fell silent.
Mr. Luo Lan didn't mind either, pointing to the place next to him, he said to them, "It's Luo who is being abrupt. Please sit down, I think we're going to start talking about business, right, Young Master Wen?"
Wen Yelan and Xiao Jin looked at each other, and sat down opposite Luo Lanjun.
Wen Yelan spoke first: "Mr. Luo should know the purpose of our visit."
"I know, I have received a letter from Daqing a few days ago." Luo Lanjun nodded, reached out to touch the teacup on the table next to him, picked it up gently, took a sip, then put it down, looked up To the two of them, although his eyes were a bit empty, it made people feel as if his whole body was seen through.
"You want to find someone here in Luoyang, right?"
"Mr. Luo, do you know where he is?" Wen Yelan asked sullenly.
Luo Lanjun shook his head: "I'm blind, how can I have such a great ability to know where the person you are looking for, Young Master Wen?"
Wen Yelan frowned slightly: "Mr. Luo, you are too modest. I think, if you can dig a hidden person to find a hidden person in Luoyang, it must be Mr. belongs to."
Luo Lanjun still had a smile all over his face, gentle and gentle.He stood up, scratched the corner of his clothes, shook his head, and said: "Three years ago, Mr. Luo Lan might have helped you, but Mr. Luo Lan now is just an ordinary incense maker."
"Maybe it's what you said, Mr. Luo, but Wen Yelan still believes that the current Luo Lanjun will not disappoint our expectations."
Wen Yelan also stood up, staring intently at Luo Lanjun.
Luo Lanjun smiled, and his ordinary appearance instantly amazed the autumn scenery.
"Young Master Wen, you really are a wonderful person."
"Mr. Luo, you are also a wonderful person."
"Haha... Young Master Wen, I can help you find the person you want, but whether you can find it or not depends on God's will."
A smile finally appeared on Wen Yelan's cold and serious face.
"It's okay, we'll get on with it."
Xiao Jin looked at the extremely confident Young Master Wen with doting eyes, and smiled softly.
At this time, Wen Yelan was really eye-catching.However, at this moment, only Xiao Jin is keeping his light.
