After Huan left, Yu Qingxi walked to the dressing table in the back room, sure enough!He hadn't received any news for several days, and he didn't notice that Qi Fangzui who had been in the corner was gone.He opened the dressing box and found the box of Qi Fangzui among the various rouge boxes on the first floor.The person who received this must be Chun Ting who combs his hair every day.

Yu Qingxi held the rouge box in her hand, thought for a while, opened the first layer of the vanity box, picked out a few rouges, and placed them on the table with Qi Fangzui.After finishing all this, he returned to the desk to look at the account.He hasn't turned over a single page of the ledger in front of him, and he's always thinking about what Huan said about Luo Na.What happened when he didn't know?

From the capital to Bogu, Luo Li changed several identities along the way, and when he finally stood in the market of Bogu Town, he looked like a young man studying abroad.His hair is tied in an indigo scarf, and his complexion is fair, but his facial features are slightly pale. At first glance, he looks like a thin and ordinary scholar, and he will never take a second look.He visited an Mozhai store, took two volumes with him, and then went into a nearby clothing store.

The first floor of this clothing store sells women's clothes, and the smaller store on the second floor also sells men's clothes. Luo Li went straight to the second floor.There was no one in the clothing store near dusk. Luo Li walked up to the second floor, recognized the voices from back and forth, and jumped to the inner room behind the second floor.

"Luo Gong!" Sun He, the owner of the clothing store, was surprised when he saw the pattern on the hairpin of the visitor, and immediately got up to salute.

Luo Li waved his hand: "My family, how can there be so many polite manners!"

Sun He put away those polite words, and said familiarly: "Mr. Luo is busy with business, what's the matter with you coming to our corner?"

"Private matter." Luo Li smiled, leaned over and patted him on the shoulder and asked directly, "You are close to Luo Na. After the earthquake in Luo Na, why did you send troops out?"

"I'm also very curious about this. It's not uncommon for Luo Na to experience earthquakes every year. There were no casualties in the earthquake a while ago, but the royal family in Luo Na was very nervous." Sun He shook his head.

"Then what will happen?" Luo Li frowned.

"So far, the Luo Na officials don't know about it, and there is no rumor about it." Sun He said, "Those things were handled by General Lu Yan, and there is no news from outside."

"Have you received news from the black department before, it seems to have come from Luo Na?" Luo Li asked.

"Yes, I don't know which one is the black department." Sun He nodded, "Our lord is a capable person, and he installed the black department in Luo Na country. If it weren't for that news, I would have always thought that those black department people were there." In the country of Mozambique."

"Hmm... It's probably something that Mosang doesn't have." Luo Li thought for a while.

"There is no original Fanxia Realm? What is so scarce?" Sun He said.

"We don't know about these things. If we knew all these things, we would have been able to enter the black department." Luo Li laughed.

"You don't want to enter the black department. I heard that it's like going to jail." Sun He shook his head, "It's better that our merchant branch is happier!"

"Yes." Luo Li nodded and smiled.

"Do you think our master knows where the master has placed the black people?" Sun He said.

"According to the rules, all the people of the black family are in the hands of the master, and the master doesn't know about it." Luo Li said.

"Yes, otherwise Mosang wouldn't be like this." Sun He lowered his head and sighed, "Fortunately, the master also has a mysterious weapon to help, otherwise, this Luo Na would be even more arrogant."

Luo Li smiled, not wanting to say more.He asked Sun He for an inner room to change his clothes.When he came out, Sun He looked at his attire and asked, "You want to enter Luona?"

At this moment, Luo Li had changed his face. He stroked his white shirt and nodded.The original Confucian scarf has been removed, broken up and braided into small braids, and then wrapped in a headscarf.The dress was different from Ruo Mi's, it was made of thin white silk, without any restraint from top to bottom, and went straight to the instep.He was hanging a small colored glass bottle with spices on the neck collar: "What are you doing stupidly? Borrow a leather pouch."

"Oh." Sun He got up now, and went inside to find a rough leather pouch, "It's still early, why don't you go have a drink with me?"

"Success!" Luo Li smiled, and packed his things into leather pouches.

Sun He went outside and ordered a table of wine and food, and the two of them drank and chatted in the inner room on the second floor.As the sky was getting dark, Luo Li put down the wine cup and used a bowl of rice.

"It's been a few years since I saw you, and you're still in such a hurry!" Sun He shook his head.

"I'll come back to find you for a drink later!" Luo Li put the bowl aside.

"It's strange to believe you!" Sun He said, "Whenever you don't turn around, forget it!"

"Haha!" Luo Li pursed his lips, "Don't let the charming lady know what you said, you will be misunderstood!"

Sun He frowned: "Get lost!"

Luo Li patted his clothes elegantly, took a black cloak over it, locked it tightly from bottom to top, and jumped out.He walked gracefully, but not at a slow speed, and quickly passed through the Bogu market, heading towards the border like a ghost.Ruomi's Bogu is adjacent to Luona's Jiyue, Qianshui, and Lanqiao, and he is walking towards the piece that is connected to Jiyue.In normal times, it must be more convenient to climb over the city wall, and he can definitely avoid the soldiers stationed there.In the current situation, he still conservatively detoured and passed through the mountains and forests.

In the forest connecting Bogu and Jiyue, there used to be only one boundary and a stone tablet, but now it is guarded by soldiers one by one.Luo Li crouched in the shadow of the bushes, staring at the soldier.These soldiers Luo Li didn't pay attention to them, but if there was a commotion, Luo Na would increase his troops to patrol at that time, which would definitely affect his actions in Luo Na.

Luo Li thought for a while, then found the hairpin that had just been replaced from the leather pouch.The hairpin can be disassembled into three parts, all of which are hollow, and a flute for summoning bats is placed inside.He summoned the bat, then connected the middle part of the hairpin to the flute, and put it to his lips.The sound of the flute itself can only be heard by bats, but when it is connected to a hairpin, it makes a muffled sound.

Hearing the sound, the bat flew to the front of the soldier and hung upside down on the branch.The soldier heard the sound and noticed the little thing not far ahead.Through the moonlight, he clearly saw the two bright little eyes, and finally he focused all his attention on the pointed nose.The surrounding is very quiet and quiet, the wind blows through the leaves rustling, rustling, rustling.Slowly, the rustling of the leaves faded away, as if I could only hear the beating of my own heart, thump, thump, thump.Along with the sound of the heartbeat, there seemed to be very slight, very slight sounds, as if they were far away in the sky, yet conveniently close to my ears, one sound, one sound, even and slight, repeating...

Luo Li put down the flute, held it in his palm, and walked over gently.When he passed the soldier, he glanced at him, and the man was staring blankly not far away, silent and quiet.Luo Li continued to walk forward, found a safe and hidden place to stand still, took the flute and played softly again.

The bat hula flapped its wings, awakening the sluggish soldier.The bat whirled and flapped its wings twice, then flew away.The soldier rubbed his eyes, and then took another look at the bat that disappeared into the night. He was a little confused. Is he sleepy?

Luo Li disassembled the flute, put it into a hairpin, and stuffed it into a leather pouch.He looked around and jumped up.There was no sound when flying in the forest, but the wind brought by the ups and downs brushed the leaves and made a rustling sound.

Hearing the rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves, the soldier felt a little sleepy again, so he desperately tried to wake himself up.He looked around, but there was no movement, and then he opened his eyes and watched carefully.From the beginning to the end, the two soldiers who were separated by a mile did not notice anything unusual.

Luo Li successfully entered Luo Na Jiyue and walked in the empty market.Fortunately, he was wearing a black cloak, no matter how light and windy he was, he could hardly be seen in the night.He came to a house familiarly, turned over and jumped in, and began to take off the black cloak outside as he walked in.

The people inside heard the sound, got up and turned on the oil lamp.As soon as he walked to the outer room, he saw someone in a white shirt walking slowly.

"Luo Gong." Yuan Ci saluted.

Luo Li nodded: "Prepare hot water."

"Yes." Yuan Ci knew that every time Luo Gong came over, the first thing to do was to take a bath.Mingming and Ruomi are separated by a mountain. This side of the mountain is hot and humid, while the other side is relatively hotter.

The night is very deep.

For the next few days, Luo Li wandered around Jiyue.There are more patrolling soldiers in the streets and alleys, and they are still investigating three times a day.The price of rice in the grain and rice store has risen again recently, and there are slightly more people selling grain in the store than before.The ferry is full of boats, and the capital in front of them is very strict in investigation, half of which will be accumulated in one day.

"Tomorrow will be our ship's turn to enter the capital," Yuan Ci came over to report, "Does Duke Luo want to enter the capital with the ship?"

"Change to a deep-water building boat." Luo Li thought for a while, "Put stones in the bottom compartment, and put some grain, rice, silverware and tinware on top as usual. Porcelain and silk are not brought this time."

"Yes." Yuan Ci paused before responding.This deep-water building ship is generally not used in the usual business routes, unless there is some threat to bring it to use.The appearance of that kind of building boat is the same as the usual building boat, but the material is stronger, and there is an extra space on the bottom of the boat, which can put some unknown things.Now the master doesn't have any missions, and Yuan Ci didn't understand what Luo Li wanted to transport, he said: "Luo Gong, but what do you want to bring out of the capital?"

Luo Li thought for a while and said, "I don't know yet, we'll talk about it when we enter the city first." He didn't know what happened in Luo Najing, but he was always inexplicably flustered, so he ordered the deep water building to prepare.

Before dawn the next day, Luo Li and Yuan Ci went to the ferry early in the morning.What Luo Li changed today was the appearance of Yuan Ci's servant, gray bunt, even his arms and legs were painted with a layer of dark yellow and black, and he couldn't pick it out among the crew.When the boat reached the ferry in Kyoto, there were only a dozen boats lined up in front of it.The yamen servants checked very carefully, until the sun jumped out of the horizon, and it was Yuan Ci's turn.

The big boats couldn't reach the shore, so they let the small boats go there.When the yamen servants arrived on the ship, Yuan Ci led them to register the goods.In the past, most of them went to the cabin to go around, relying on the owner's list records, but now they are meticulously counting and checking.This merchant ship has to rely on this list when entering and leaving the city. When entering the city, it lists the goods, quantity or weight, and the draft of the ship. Check it again when leaving the city, so as to collect merchant taxes for shortages.

Yuan Ci handed over the filial piety money, and asked with a smile on his face, "Officer Paha, why do you want to check like this this time?"

This yamen servant named Paha would see Yuan Ci every ten days, and he was familiar with him. He frowned and said, "We don't know! I'm so nervous!" After finishing speaking, he shrugged.

Yuan Ci knew that he was telling the truth, and the current officials in Kyoto don't know what's going on, let alone these shrimp soldiers and crab generals.He laughed and said, "We're doing business honestly, so we shouldn't have anything to worry about."

"Yeah!" Paha nodded, and compared the manifest handed over by Yuan Ci, and it was almost the same as what he had verified, so he uploaded it.

"No, I shipped more grain and rice, hoping to get a good price." Yuan Ci said.

Paha laughed loudly: "Yes! The price of grain and rice in Kyoto has also increased!" Holding the list, he got off the boat again, and went to check the draft scale: "This..."

"Is there any problem?" Yuan Ci's face was innocent.

"Today's boat is slightly heavier." Paha said.

"Naturally!" Yuan Ci blew triumphantly, "Usually I'd be reluctant to use it! This time I transported a lot of rice and grain, and I'm just trying to earn a ticket! Look at this wood, you can't scratch it with your fingernails! "

"Indeed!" Paha nodded and didn't doubt it anymore. He recorded the number of the draft scale on the list, and handed it to Yuan Ci when it was finished, "Here! Don't forget to buy me a drink when you make money!"

"Of course!" Yuan Ci put away the list and sent Paha back to shore with a smile.

The building boat entered the city smoothly, and after traveling for half an hour, it docked at a private pier in the capital city.The guys on the ship came down one after another and began to carry the goods.Of course, Yuan Ci didn't need to watch over the unloading, so he took Luo Li back to the courtyard.Luo Li couldn't go out with this accent, he needed to change it again.He resumed his Luo Na outfit in a white shirt, and went out with an ordinary leather pouch.

The place where the Luona earthquake occurred was on the outskirts of Kyoto, and there were almost no villages there. General Lu Yi led a heavy guard to prevent outsiders from approaching.Luo Li was in a small town close to Xiwang Mountain. After two days of observation, he didn't see anything. He couldn't help but wonder if he felt wrong this time.

At night, Luo Li wandered around the market after dinner.The heat of the day dissipated a lot at night, and there were more people in the market than in the daytime, making it seem more lively.

In a blink of an eye, Luo Li seemed to see a familiar face, but he was quickly lost in the crowd.He frowned slightly, and hurried over to look for it, but he never saw it again.He clenched his palms and searched around. Suddenly, he looked sideways at a small alley next to him, and his heart beat like thunder.

Luo Li walked into the alley slowly, not far from the small dim yellow oil lamp flickering in the night, he walked step by step vigilantly.Suddenly, a gust of wind hit, Luo Li quickly blocked one move with one hand, but in the second move, his wrist was caught and cut behind him.Luo Li pressed against the wall, his face burning against the wall.

"Who are you? What are you doing staring at me?" The voice behind him was like a cold ice mirror in summer.

At that moment, Luo Li suddenly felt calm: "Mi? Yu Mi?"

The author has something to say:

Jiyue, Qianshui, and Lanqiao are the places where Fan Xia and Luo Na fought in the years of Sishui.
