Chapter 21
Chapter 21
In the dead of night, it was supposed to be a peaceful and peaceful night, but there was a deathly silence in Wuyang City.
As the rain gradually subsided outside, Xiao Ren stayed in Bian Qunhe's mansion with his baby girl in his arms.Xiao Ren was drenched all over. Although the crisis of the flood has not passed, and the city is not necessarily safe, he urgently needs to take a bath and change clothes, but until Bian Qunhe came to him with a change of clothes, he still could not succeed. Pull off the cub in his arms from his body.
The girl was terrified.From the moment he entered the city, he hugged Xiao Ren's neck tightly, never letting go no matter what.When Bian Qunhe entered the door, he saw Xiao Ren forcibly restraining his temper and coaxing in a low voice: "Grandma, let go, we must change our wet clothes, otherwise we will get a cold..."
Bian Qun laughed and laughed: "Buwan is really very patient with women."
Xiao Ren saw Bian Qunhe standing there talking without back pain, so he looked very displeased: "Bian Qunhe, how much status do you have? Even the adults in the government are polite to you?"
Bian Qunhe pretended not to hear Xiao Ren's teasing, he sat by the tub to test the water temperature, and then called the servants in the mansion: "Xiao An, wash this girl clean."
The maid named Xiao An lowered her eyebrows and never spoke, so Xiao Ren didn't notice her at all.
Xiao An: "Yes."
Xiao Ren has also reached his limit, and really doesn't want to get entangled with this child: "Hei Ya..." Xiao Ren called out, feeling that he was "stained" by this earthy name. He is as rich as him, and he has never seen the world. unpretentious.He paused, and pulled the girl's two small arms away from her neck: "Be obedient, follow my sister to take a bath, and my sister will send you back after washing. If you are not obedient, I will not want you."
When Xiao Ren said he didn't want her, the girl looked panicked, pursed her lips and nodded.
This is finally out of the clutches.
Xiao Ren squinted at Bian Qun and congratulated him: "I'm going to take a bath, won't the shopkeeper go out?"
Bian Qun He Wan'er: "I sleep here, where do you want me to go?"
Xiao Ren didn't bother to argue with Bian Qunhe anymore, he felt uncomfortable all over, he couldn't wait to go behind the screen, and took off his colorless robe.
Bian Qunhe took off his coat and went to bed, just in time to hear the sound of Xiao Ren entering the water. His throat moved slightly, but he said nonchalantly, "Wuyang City is far away from the imperial capital, and there are many merchants coming and going here. The 'faceless' business occupies More than half of them are involved in grains, cloth, restaurants, and jewelry."
The implication is that the amount of money flowing into Yuan Zhizhou's pocket every year is also considerable.
Xiao Ren leaned against the tub and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Listening to Bian Qunhe's words, he drew inferences and remembered the legend about "No Face".
Without a trace, without a trace, pervasive.The so-called "faceless" does not mean that it cannot be on the stage, but that it has too many faces, and you never know what identity and form it is lurking around you.
"The shopkeeper gave me the details of 'No Face', isn't he afraid that I'm a spy?" Bian Qunhe indulged him too much, so he had to guard against it.After passing the initial stage of pretending to be Qin Nai, what is the use of Bian Qunhe keeping him?
Bian Qunhe raised the corners of his lips, and said in a relaxed tone, "That also requires you to have this ability."
Xiao Ren was ridiculed again, he choked half to death, completely ignored Bian Qunhe.
Mei Luo appeared in the early morning of the second day.
Because Xiao Ren was too tired, he fell asleep without drying his hair, so he didn't sleep well.Mei Luo's shallow knock on the door was enough to wake him up.
Bian Qunhe was the first to get up, the sky had just dawned, the boundless rain stopped, but the sky had not yet cleared up, and the lingering cloud seemed to cry again at any moment.
Bian Qunhe opened the door in his coat, and Xiao Ren also got up.
"My lord, Tao Hairu is indeed in Wuyang City. But that nobleman is Prince Yingjian." Mei Luo had a serious face. He didn't return all night, so he was on business.
Bian Qunhe didn't seem to care about why the prince went to the borderlands. "Where is Xie Xian?"
"No change."
Xiao Ren knew that Mei Luo's mission this time was to kill people, but he didn't know who Mei Luo was going to kill, so he asked lazily, "Is the target this time corrupt official Tao Hai?"
Mei Luo glanced at him expressionlessly: "It's Xie Xian."
"Who is Xie Xian?" Xiao Ren knew too little about the court, so he could know that the current emperor is not bad.
"Yesterday you saw the one who was crying at the door." Bian Qunhe explained.
Xiao Ren frowned.That lord was obviously held hostage by the dignitaries in the city and was unable to rescue the refugees, so he cried bitterly there, which shows that he is a good official.
It turns out that "faceless" kills without distinction between good and evil.
Well, this is no different from Yunxian Palace.
"Mei Luo, you set off immediately and get out of the city." Bian Qunhe ordered, his deity has come, this trivial matter does not need to take up too many manpower.
"Ah?" Mei Luo was taken aback, peeking back and forth before Xiao Ren and Bian Qunhe, and suddenly blushed: "Yes, I'm leaving now."
Xiao Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry, what the hell was Mei Luo thinking!
As soon as Mei Luo left, Xiao Ren couldn't continue to sleep, the child's crying was very penetrating, and Xiao Ren's scalp was numb from the explosion.
Bian Qunhe asked him amusedly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you adopted a little one. Do you think there are too few idlers in my house?"
Only then did Xiao Ren think of the person he saved, and he felt a headache. "I alone is enough for the idlers. Yesterday I was moved out of compassion, so I came to the rescue. Let's find a good foster home someday."
The crying didn't stop, Xiao Ren and Bian Qunhe didn't bother to check.After a long time, Xiao An still came and knocked on the door.
"My lord, this child is clamoring to see the second young master." Xiao An was also tortured to the point of madness. She really couldn't coax the child, couldn't explain the reason, and couldn't beat her up, so she had the courage to come to the master.
"Understood." Bian Qunhe let Xiao Ren pass by with his eyes.Xiao Ren reluctantly dawdled to the door, when the girl saw him, she immediately hugged Xiao Ren.
Xiao Ren had no choice: "Hei..." He really didn't want to call those two words.So he hugged the girl and asked, "Do you have a name?"
The girl felt at ease in Xiao Ren's arms, her face was still full of tears, she looked very pitiful, she lowered her head and whispered, "My name is Heiya."
Xiao Ren: "..."
Although the girl is young, she has her own sensitivity.She seemed to sense Xiao Ren's rejection, so she suddenly said to Xiao Ren: "Brother Beauty, take me in as your apprentice! Teach me kung fu!"
Her father is a blacksmith and once had a master. In her perception, the one who teaches the craft is the master.
Xiao Ren: "Why do you want to learn Kung Fu?"
The girl clenched her small fists and replied in a low voice: "After learning Kung Fu, I can save my father and mother."
Xiao Ren's eyes darkened.
Bian Qunhe watched for a long time, and then he said: "Leave her, the family is not short of this food."
Xiao Ren was taken aback for a moment, but before he could speak, Mei Luo, who had left a long time ago, left and returned.
His expression was more serious than before, and when he entered the door, he said, "My lord, Xie Xian is dead."
