Chapter 24 The Merchant's Daughter (24)

"Shi Mo, bring the things."

Lan Xi was half-sitting on the couch while bathing and changing clothes. During this period of time, Lan Xi was not idle. In addition to dealing with shop chores every day, when she had nothing to do, she only read a book to relax and crazily absorb all the information in the world.

Human geography, folk culture, nothing is left behind, especially now that she wants to collect more information about Beiyuan, quickly find a breakthrough, and complete the big project of smuggling people.

If you don't want to die, in addition to thinking about a safe retreat, you also need to train your cheap son Chu Yao into a talent.

"Master, these two people must follow you in!" Shi Mo opened the curtain, holding a stack of ledgers and books in his hand, and spoke angrily, followed by two young, frosty women wearing black outfits who walked in behind them. .

"Shi Mo, put down your things and go prepare dinner." Lan Xi was indifferent to the two people who appeared suddenly, since Duan Yuhe promised to do things cheaply within half a year, she would be surprised if they sent a few people to monitor her.

"Yes, Master." Shi Mo put his things down, stared at the two of them fiercely, and turned around to go out.

"Tell me, what mission do you two have?" Lan Xi opened the account book and looked down.

"My servant, Qingtian, Qingkong has seen the master. Young Master Duan sent the two of us to protect Miss Lan's safety." Qingtian, Qingkong replied respectfully.

"Well, since it's to protect my safety, you two don't have to appear in front of me until my safety is not threatened." Lan Xi replied without raising her head.

Qing Tian and Qing Kong didn't expect Lan Xi to answer like this, they glanced at each other, they didn't say anything but they didn't leave either, they still stood where they were.

Qingtian and Qingkong stood there refusing to leave, Lan Xi didn't bother to talk to them, the room was terribly silent except for the sound of flipping books, it took more than an hour before Lan Xi raised her head, squinted her eyes and smiled at Qingtian and Qingtian, " What else is there?"

Sunny and Qingkong, who had been chilled for a long time, took two steps forward, took out the contract from their bosom and put it in front of Lan Xi: "Master, this is the slave-servant's contract of prostitution. From now on, the slave-servant is the master's."

"Broken deed?" Lan Xi showed a big smile. What kind of move is Duan Yuhe's move? It's fine to put two people by her side to monitor her, but they actually gave her the deed of prostitution?

Qingkong and Qingtian glanced at Lan Xi cautiously, made a sound, and swallowed uncontrollably. Why did their master's smile become more and more frightening the more they looked at it.

"How are you two's martial arts?" Lan Xi asked.

"It's not bad. If you encounter bandits and bullies, you will definitely be able to protect your master." Lan Xi didn't know that Qing Tian was being modest in saying this. The strength of the two of them ranked among the top ten in Duan Yuhe's hidden guards.

"That's good, as long as you two are loyal, I won't treat you badly."

Putting away the contract of prostitution for the two of them, Lan Xi nodded in satisfaction, the people sent by Duan Yuhe must have the same force value, with the contract of prostitution in her hands, what is she afraid of?Although it will be a bit more troublesome to act in the future, these two people will be of great use when the critical moment is used, and it will save her from looking for another person.

"Master, we have to leave first without ordering." As soon as Qingkong and Qingtian finished speaking, they disappeared. Lan Xi rubbed her chin. It seemed that Dajing's current situation was quite bad.

……

For several days, Lan Xi stayed in the small courtyard to check the world to find information about Beiyuan, but there was too little information about Beiyuan among the people, and she couldn't figure it out. She needed more information about Beiyuan. Be as detailed as possible.

"Sunny day." Lan Xi put down the notebook in her hand and called softly, a shadow immediately appeared in front of Lan Xi.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Go to Young Master Duan and ask him for Beiyuan's information. I want everything except confidential information."

"Understood." Qing Tian took the order to retreat, Lan Xi tidied up, took Shi Mo and went out to Nishang Building to find Yu Jingxian.

This time, Lan Xi's carriage did not stop at the front door of Nishang Building, but in an alley behind the street. Naturally, the gatekeeper knew Lan Xi and diligently introduced Lan Xi into the main house, and then hurriedly called his shopkeeper.

Before even taking a sip of tea, Yu Jingxian walked in, "Sister, if you don't come to me, I will come to you in two days."

"It's a good thing you didn't go." Lan Xi said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I got the and Li book."

"Chu Zhentian wrote and left the book so easily?" Yu Jingxian asked in disbelief. She was also involved in this matter, and thought that no matter what happened, it would be delayed for a while.

"Of course it's so easy, the emperor probably doesn't know about Heli."

Yu Jingxian's expression changed, and she sat down on the chair, "Sister, isn't the He Li Shu in your hand..."

"Sister-in-law is right. The Heli book in my hand is no different from the waste paper. After all, I am temporarily out of the general's mansion." Lan Xi paused here and continued: "Things are not as bad as I thought. Someone He came to see me, and as long as I help him accomplish one thing, there will be no problem in getting married."

"Sister, why are you so loud? What you are asked to do must not be easy."

"It's not that simple. I need you, the eldest brother and the second brother to help. This matter is not only related to reconciliation, but also to the life and death of the Lan family." Lan Xi recounted the matter to Yu Jingxian from the beginning to the end with a serious face. .

The more Yu Jingxian listened, the more frightened she became. No one would have thought that so many people were involved in the reconciliation. Who was the young master in that paragraph, and who were the ten craftsmen of Beiyuan? These things happened one after another. That's not easy to handle.

The Lan family knew that Shu Da Zhaofeng had always kept a low profile, and Yu Jingxian knew in her heart that Chaotang had been paying attention to the Lan family's movements, but she didn't expect that Chaotang cared so much about the Lan family's affairs, it was really terrifying.

"What does my sister want to do?" Yu Jingxian looked at Lan Xi worriedly.

"Take it one step at a time. By the way, I need to trouble my sister-in-law to tell Boss Cheng that I don't want the jade I ordered from him some time ago." Lan Xi said as she quietly stuffed a letter into Yu Jingxian's hand. .

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring it to you." Yu Jingxian patted the back of Lan Xi's hand to express her understanding. Saying the word "Boss Cheng" meant that the Lan family should find a way out for her.

Afterwards, the two parents chatted briefly for a while, and the two of them agreed not to continue discussing this matter. After dinner, Lan Xi got into the carriage and returned to the small courtyard.

Seeing Lan Xi away, Yu Jingxian tightened her sleeves, and returned to the Nishang Building as if nothing had happened, and returned to the Lan Mansion as usual after the Nishang Building closed.
