across mountains and seas

Jing Lan went directly to the main hall of Haicheng, and ordered Uncle Jing Jiu to be summoned.

"Uncle Nine, help me check things."

Uncle Jing Jiu bowed respectfully, "Young Master, just give orders."

"Back then... why did Liu Xi leave Xishan Liu's?" Jing Lan asked in a deep voice.

Uncle Jing Jiu glanced at Jing Lan in surprise, first because she had never called her "sister-in-law" so far, and second because Jing Duo had never told her about it.

Jing Lan noticed Uncle Jing Jiu's strange gaze, "Why?"

"The eldest son ordered me to investigate. I thought you knew, young master." Uncle Jing Jiu replied truthfully.

Jing Lan was startled, it turned out that the elder brother had checked the matter.

No wonder the elder brother wanted to marry her in when he was dying. I'm afraid that just as she thought, Liu Xi had nowhere to go.

Uncle Jing Jiu sighed deeply, "It's not easy for the eldest young lady, young master, you should call her sister-in-law."

"Tell me what you know first." Jing Lan didn't answer Uncle Jing Jiu's words.

Uncle Jing Jiu didn't have much to say, so he talked about Liu Xi's affairs in the Liu family in Xishan in detail.

Just halfway through the conversation, a Haicheng guard ran in with a sword, holding a greeting card in his hand.

"Young master, I have a guest to see you."

Jing Lan signaled Uncle Jing Jiu to stop temporarily, and took the invitation from the guard.

"faint."

Jing Lan did not expect this woman to come again.

She glanced at the sky outside the hall, and it will be midnight in a while, and this woman is really out of the ordinary way to visit at this time.

"If you don't want to see..."

"See! Invite her into the city."

Jing Lan put down the greeting card, and handed Jingyue to Uncle Jing Jiu, "This knife needs to be repaired, first put it on the casting platform, and first practice it when it is lit."

"Yes." Uncle Jing Jiu took the knife and stepped back.

This is Haicheng, their territory of the Jing family, and the mechanism in the front hall is also hard to guard against, presumably Youyou would not dare to make trouble here.

Jing Lan duan sat down on the seat of the Patriarch, and watched the guards carrying the lanterns lead You You all the way into the front hall.

Youyou's right hand is still holding a pipe, and there is a small kit wrapped around the pipe. I don't know what's in it?She was still wearing the purple gauze dress, and when she walked, her snow-white legs were faintly visible, which attracted many servants to look at her a few more times.

"Fifth Young Master Jing, don't come here without any harm." Youyou looked at her proudly, straight to the point, "It's better to hit the sun some other day, Fifth Young Master Jing, let's settle the score." Saying that, Youyou sat down in the front hall and put Putting the pipe aside, he took out a palm-sized golden abacus from his pocket.

Jing Lan looked at her deeply, "That's fine, let me hear what the landlord thinks?"

Youyou cracked the abacus, and said while doing it: "One life is 5 gold, two lives are [-] gold, three lives are [-] gold, Youyou Building is [-] gold, Hai Huhun..." Youyou frowned, "One piece is worth a hundred taels, so it counts as five thousand gold..." She flicked the beads for the last time, and looked at Jing Lan with a smile, "Mr. Jing Wu is making such a fuss today, my business in Youyoulou will definitely not be able to be done." .Today I will not open my mouth like a lion, and the price is [-] taels of gold!"

The boys outside the door almost dropped their jaws when they heard these words.

5 taels of gold, how is this not a lion's mouth?

Jing Lan raised her eyebrows, before she could answer, she saw Youyou stood up and moved over.

"The landlord is self-respecting!" Jing Lan sternly shouted, sitting upright.

Youyou smiled charmingly, and hooked Jing Lan's chin with her index finger presumptuously, "If I don't respect myself, I won't be talking to Mr. Jing Wu like this."

"..." Jing Lan gave her a sideways look.

Youyou giggled, straightened up, glanced at Jing Lan's slightly thin body, and looked down her chin presumptuously.

The burning eyes make people really uncomfortable.

"It's a pity that it's too small, otherwise, I would be willing to repay the debt with my own body." Youyou smiled meaningfully at her, "5 taels of gold is not a small sum, I can give you time to raise it slowly. But some people, after all, are quick-tempered, and suddenly her husband is gone, what should she do?"

Jing Lan heard the meaning behind her words, "What do you know?"

"Jing Wuzi became famous in the battle on Youyou Island today, and the death of General Wei is on your head." Youyou said in a leisurely manner, "General Wei has a newlywed wife, guess who it is ?”

If this question was asked in her previous life, Jing Lan could blurt out that it was Liu Xi.

But in this life, Jing Lan couldn't answer at all.

"Xishan Liu's family, Miss Liu San, Liu Su." She paused deliberately, "There is no girl from the Liu family who can be provoked, so, Mr. Jing Wu, you have to think about how long Dongfu Prefecture can stop the Wei family." The army attacked?"

He thought that if Wei Jianbai was dead, Dongfu Prefecture would not be broken by his army.But he didn't expect Wei Jianbai to marry the third lady of the Liu family in this life. How could he not avenge his dead husband?

Even if Liu Xi is no longer the general's wife in this life, the Xishan Liu family still chose the power of Wei Jianbai, and the power was in the hands of her own daughter, so why not use this army to seek power?

Youyou clicked his tongue twice, very remorseful, "I knew that opening the building would cause such a disaster, I shouldn't have opened the door. Now it's over, my livelihood is gone, and I might be charged with a joint crime. These 5 Ten thousand taels of gold, tsk tsk, it's still a little less."

"Even if I give it to you, you don't necessarily have a life flower." Jing Lan really didn't like her pretentiousness, "Lord, why don't you just tell me exactly what you want?"

"Yoyo, you're still a smart...youthful man." Youyou said this even more charmingly. She wanted to touch Jing Lan's chin again, but Jing Lan grabbed her wrist midway and stopped her abruptly.

Jing Lan said solemnly: "Don't move!"

Youyou grabbed the back of Jing Lan's hand and scratched it lightly, forcing Jing Lan to let go.She laughed and said: "I brought a group of sisters to the rivers and lakes to beg for life, and all I want is wealth and safety. If Mr. Jing Wu can promise us peace, I can not take any of the 5 taels of gold."

"What is peace?" Jing Lan asked directly.

You Youyou said with a faint smile: "In the sea area of ​​the Dongjing Clan, draw an island for our sisters to live in. After we escape Miss Liu San's revenge, we will be separated from each other and never see each other again."

Jing Lan didn't answer immediately.

Youyou said again: "Don't worry, our sisters have a small appetite and can't eat enough for you." She put away her abacus, untied the pouch from the pipe, and handed it to Jing Lan, "Here, I came here with sincerity. Besides, if it weren’t for the mechanism of Youyoulou, you would definitely not be able to come back, you have to admit it.”

Jing Lan took the pouch, and could smell blood through the pouch, "What is this?"

"Hai Gouhun's snake gall, you give it to Mr. Hai in Haicheng, he knows how to use it to save your young lady's life." Youyou said indifferently, "Whether it's up to you, anyway, I sincerely delivered it."

Jing Lan's fingers pinching Xiaosang suddenly tightened, she was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her voice, "Come here!"

Youyou smiled smugly, and twirled the pipe in her palm, as if she already knew what choice Jing Lan would make.

Jing Lan got up and stood with her hands behind her back, and said to the boy who came in: "Go to Zhubingtai and call Uncle Jiu, and ask Uncle Jiu to arrange for this girl Youyou to go to Kedao to rest tonight."

"Yes." The boy took orders and retreated.

Youyou was slightly startled, "Huh?"

"The so-called business, you have to let me think about it?" Jing Lan said quietly, and then glanced at the sky, "To be honest, the host is not a timid person who dares to visit Haicheng alone at night." Said She said, shaking the pouch in her hand, "Since you are sincere, you should be more frank in your speech. Please think about it again, what do you want to come here tonight?"

Youyou can confirm this time that the young master Dongjing is indeed a character.

If Fifth Young Master Jing grows up a few more years, he will definitely be able to make some name for himself in the arena.

She smiled in satisfaction, "Okay, I'll think about it tonight, what exactly do I want?" After finishing speaking, she cast a seductive glance at Jing Lan.

Another disaster!

Jing Lan cursed secretly, her face still neither smiling nor angry, and when Uncle Jing Jiu came back, she ordered Uncle Jing Jiu to take Youyou away.

She lowered her head and glanced at the pouch in her palm. She had to ask Mr. Hai to know if she was sincere.

Thinking of this, Jing Lan quickly walked back to Liuxi's small courtyard.

Her door was ajar and the lights were brightly lit.

Jing Lan took the pouch and walked outside the door, coughing twice on purpose.

After hearing this, Mr. Hai, who was administering needles, finished the last few needles, got up and met Jing Lan, "Young Master?"

"Someone sent a letter of sincerity, Mr. Hai, look, is this the snake gall of Hai Gouhun?" Jing Lan handed the pouch to Mr. Hai.

Mr. Hai's eyes lit up, he eagerly took the small pouch from Jing Lan's hand, opened it and shook out a bloody snake gall, sniffed it, and said pleasantly: "Yes! Yes! This is the snake gall of Hai Gouhun! If you can Let the eldest young lady take the Yuansheng Pill, she will definitely be able to survive!"

"Be careful, beware of poison." Jing Lan reminded cautiously.

Mr. Hai nodded, "Young master, don't worry, I will be careful." Then, he turned his head and took a look inside, "The third son and the second son have both visited, young master..."

"I'll take a look." Jing Lan knew how to measure.

Mr. Hai was relieved, and looked down at Xiaosang, "I'll go to refine Yuansheng Pill first, here..."

"I'll send someone to call Aunt Hong. I'll leave when Aunt Hong comes." Jing Lan knew what Mr. Hai was worried about.

Mr. Hai nodded, and walked away excitedly carrying the small bag.

Jing Lan took a deep breath and finally stepped into the room.

Two servant girls carefully wiped the cold sweat from Liu Xi's forehead, her face was pale, her body trembling involuntarily because of the pain.

The medicinal properties of Mafeisan haven't faded yet, once it fades away, she might wake up from the pain.

After seeing Jing Lan coming in, the servant girl respectfully bowed to Jing Lan, "Young Master."

"En." Jing Lan said that she only took one look, but once her eyes fell on Liu Xi's face, she couldn't move her eyes away.

Uncle Jing Jiu only said half of the story about the Xishan Liu family, but even if it was only half, it made Jing Lan feel cold in the back.
