across mountains and seas

Jing Tan led the court's troops along the Three-way Stone Gorge into Haicheng.It was the first time for Nie Guang to enter Haicheng. The arrow holes on the two walls of the Santu Stone Gorge were densely packed. If there was no Jing Tan to guide him, if he rushed in here and triggered the mechanism, he would be shot into a hedgehog in an instant.

Nie Guang was followed by his younger sister Nie Su. She looked innocent and curious about the layout of various organs in Haicheng.Sure enough, it is a well-known family of institutions in the world. As long as you hook up a young boy to live here, no enemy in the world will be able to kill him, that is a sense of security.

The two brothers and sisters had their own thoughts. After entering the mountain gate, they could see a scaled animal ridge through the courtyard wall—to ward off evil spirits!

Nie Guang had long heard that the Dongjing clan had a mechanism beast to ward off evil spirits, and he was very excited. Today, he was able to see the true face of this mechanism beast, and a high-priced transaction could be recorded in the record book of Qianzhulou.

It's a pity that Jing Tan didn't take them out of the courtyard. After going around the screen wall, they came to the main hall of Haicheng.

Jing Tan ordered the maids to serve hot tea, "You two, please wait a moment."

Nie Guang glanced at Nie Su, and the two sat down on the guest seats, each thinking in their hearts, how should they speak in a moment, is it appropriate?

Jing Tan stood in front of the door, and from a long distance, he saw Liu Xi walking leisurely with the white rabbit in his arms. He greeted him with a smile, "Sister-in-law."

Hearing Jing Tan's voice, Nie Guang looked at Liu Xi who was walking towards the door - he had heard that Liu Xi was a cold beauty, but now when he saw this woman, she was cold and glamorous. It's all different.

interesting.

Nie Guang secretly remembered that when he looked closely at Liu Xi's figure, although he was only wearing plain clothes, his waist was tied with a snow-colored belt, which just outlined Liu Xi's Miaoman figure.Nie Guang's palm was slightly hot, if he could grasp this small waist, what kind of soft jade would it be?

"General Nie!" Nie Guang was in a trance when he suddenly heard Jing Tan yelled loudly. He came back to his senses and apologized and said with a smile, "Who is this girl?"

Jing Tan took half a step forward, "My elder brother's wife."

Nie Guang suddenly felt a little jealous of the dead Young Master Jing. Since such a beauty is already talking about marriage, he must have been intimate before coming here.

"So it's Mrs. Liu." Nie Guang respectfully bowed to Liu Xi.

Liu Xi really hated Nie Guang's eyes, as if she wanted to eat her alive, she said coldly: "General Nie is busy with work, so let's announce the decree earlier."

Nie Guang chuckled, "No hurry, Young Master Jing hasn't arrived yet." Unexpectedly, this woman is still a prickly person.

Nie Su glanced at Liu Xi lightly, and then she looked at Jing Tan, if all the sons of the Jing family were as handsome as the Second Young Master, this job would be enough to be called a fat job.

"My family, Alan, has gone to sea these few days and is not in the city. If you have anything to say, please tell me." After Liu Xi finished speaking, she sat down on the main seat, lowered her head and caressed the white rabbit on her lap.

Nie Guang didn't expect that the Lord was not here today. He glanced at the brocade box held by the accompanying lieutenant. Do you want to read the imperial decree in it?

"Brother, since Young Master Jing is not here, we can only wait for Young Master Jing to come back here before proclaiming the decree." Nie Su quickly smoothed things over and bowed obediently to Liu Xi, "Mrs. Liu, Your Majesty If there is an order, the imperial decree must be handed down to Young Master Jing."

"In this case, I have to invite the two of you to stay in Kedao for a few days." Liu Xi followed her words and gave Jing Tan a wink, "Second Uncle, I will leave this to you, don't neglect Two honored guests."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law." Jing Tan nodded with a smile.

Liu Xi stood up holding Yueyue, nodded slightly to Jing Tan, walked out of the main hall, and gradually walked away.

"General Nie, Miss Nie, this way please." Jing Tan motioned for the two of them and the passing soldiers to follow him to Kedao.

After settling down the people from the court, Jing Tan thought about it carefully and made a special trip to the dock.There is not one boat missing, if Jing Lan really goes out to sea, she must take a sea boat.

Today, Liu Xi was the only one to see the guests. Presumably, the sister-in-law had made other arrangements, and she might not have cooperated well halfway. Jing Tan thought, it would be best to ask Liu Xi.

With this in mind, Jing Tan came outside Liuxi's small courtyard.

Liu Xi seemed to be in a good mood holding Yueyue. The two maids who usually served her saw that she had brought Yueyue back, so they couldn't help laughing and said: "Yueyue is back, and the young lady is also happy."

"Look, Alan has been holding her for two days, and Yueyue's hair is not going well." Liu Xi leaned closer to Yueyue and sniffed while disgusted, and there was indeed a little bit of Alan's smell, presumably her two The day also hugs the moon and the moon.

The mouth is not the heart.

On the surface, she looks fierce, but in fact she takes good care of her.

Liu Xi was secretly happy in her heart, and her smile grew stronger.

Jing Tan stared at the entrance of the courtyard dazedly, how could he remember why he came to look for Liu Xi?

The other servant girl had sharp eyes and saw Jing Tan standing at the gate of the courtyard, "Second Young Master?"

Jing Tan walked into the courtyard with a smile, he didn't dare to step into the room rashly, so he stood at the door and smiled at Liu Xi, "Sister-in-law."

"Come in, there are some things that should be told to Second Uncle." Liu Xi didn't think about anything else, she sat down on the couch, obviously she couldn't put it down for Yueyue.

Jing Tan entered the room flattered, unnaturally restrained, not at all like his usual self.

Liu Xi ordered one of the maids to make a pot of hot tea, "Second Uncle wants to ask me, where did Ah Lan go?" Liu Xi did not greet him politely, and directly asked Jing Tan's question.

Jing Tan nodded, "Yes."

Liu Xi chuckled, "The edict from the imperial court came at an untimely time, so I can't accept it, so I can only let Ah Lan hide for a few days."

Jing Tan was stunned, "Why can't I pick it up?"

Liu Xi didn't intend to continue, "It's not yet the time, so I can't say it yet. The second uncle only needs to take care of the people in the court these few days, and he will be doing Ah Lan a great favor."

"Naturally." Jing Tan nodded.

"The care I want may not be the kind that Second Uncle thought." Liu Xi reminded Jing Tan.

Jing Tan asked doubtfully, "What kind of care does my sister-in-law want?"

"Same as Miss Youyou last time, stay obediently on Kedao, and don't hand out any letters to them." Liu Xi's eyes lit up, "Second Uncle, I believe you can do it."

Jing Tan patted his chest, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, leave it to me!"

Liu Xi smiled, "Okay."

Let's talk about the business, even if Jing Tan doesn't want to leave, it's not good to stay here for a long time.

He glanced at Yueyue in Liuxi's arms, "If sister-in-law likes rabbits..."

"One Yueyue is enough." Liu Xi smiled with satisfaction, and lightly rubbed Yueyue's head, "It's boring if there are too many." With a simple sentence, Jing Tan directly cut off the possibility of sending the rabbit again.

Jing Tan lowered his head dejectedly, bowed to Liu Xi with cupped fists, and exited the courtyard.

Sometimes he is envious of Xiao Wu, because of his eldest brother, Liu Xi is always very kind to Xiao Wu.

But after thinking about it again, it’s not good to become Xiaowu. Even if the sister-in-law’s filial piety expires and she is married back, the world will still be talking about it. After all, Xiaowu is different from the three brothers. He is Dongjing As the patriarch of the clan, there are many things that are absolutely unacceptable.Besides, it is not easy for Xiao Wu to get along with his sister-in-law peacefully, so how could he have the same love for his sister-in-law as him?

Thinking of this, Jing Tan shook his head and smiled, and when his sister-in-law finished her filial piety for her elder brother, he should do some things on the bright side.

Liu Xi watched Jing Tan's back gradually walk away, the smile on her face froze slightly.

I hope that the emotion she found in Jing Tan's eyes just now is just overthinking, otherwise, she would have to be distracted and worry about one more shit.The relationship between Alan and her elder brothers is so good, if she becomes a confidante and causes them to turn against each other, then the distance between her and Alan will be opened up again with great difficulty.

Here Liu Xi is worried, and Jing Lan is not much better.

She wandered around in her room, finally waited until night fell, and touched her growling belly.

Liu Xi said that she was not in Haicheng, so she must not slap Liu Xi in the face and show up in Haicheng rashly.Besides, Liu Xi will come to this night party at night, if someone else sees her, then she really can't explain anything.

Jing Lan made up her mind, and when she and Liu Xi settled down on business matters, she must change into servant's clothes and sneak to the kitchen to have a good meal.

"Dong dong."

Finally someone knocked on the door, Jing Lan let out a long sigh of relief.

It's clear that they came to talk about business, but when Jing Lan thought that Liu Xi came here quietly and alone, she felt that something was wrong, and she was inexplicably nervous.

Not an affair!

Jing Lan kept telling herself in her heart that she and Liu Xi were frank and frank, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

But when she opened the door and saw Liu Xi, her heart couldn't help trembling, she hurriedly pulled her into the room, and then closed the door, "You're finally here!" There was a hint of eagerness in her voice , said at this time, it seems that there is another layer of meaning.

"Sister Shen is still outside, why did you close the door?" Liu Xi glared at Jing Lan, opened the door again, and welcomed Shen Jiangli outside.

Jing Lan was shocked, why did Liu Xi bring Shen Jiangli here?

Shen Jiangli gave Jing Lan a displeased look, and after closing the door, "No, okay."

Jing Lan cupped her hands to make amends, "Miss Shen, I really didn't see you."

"Only, yes." Shen Jiangli was slightly annoyed, "Sister, sister."

Jing Lan's face burned, she really only noticed Liu Xi, she didn't take a second look at Liu Xi who was followed by Shen Jiangli, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry."

"Hmph, hum." Shen Jiangli put the bamboo basket in his hand on the table, sat on the edge of the table, wrapped his arms around the bamboo basket tightly, "No, here."

Liu Xi, who was holding back a smile for a while, walked to Shen Jiangli's side and helped Jing Lan to apologize, "Silly Alan is too obedient, he hasn't eaten for a day, and he must be dizzy from hunger now, that's why I'm so hungry." I didn't see the girl, and there are a lot of girls, so let me spare her for a while, okay?" As he spoke, Liu Xi gently tugged at Shen Jiangli's sleeve.

Shen Jiangli glared at Jing Lan again, and when he looked at Liu Xi, he finally smiled, "Listen, talk."

Liu Xi looked at Jing Lan with a smile, and said softly, "What are you doing there?" She said, beckoning to her, "Come here, eat first, it's not good to be hungry."

Jing Lan stood where she was, and said solemnly, "Let's talk about the business first."

"Huh?" Liu Xi hummed heavily.

Shen Jiangli also imitated Liu Xi and hummed heavily.

Who made her provoke two troublesome women?Jing Lan sat down helplessly, watching Shen Jiangli open the bamboo basket and bring out all the hot dishes inside.

It's fine if you don't smell the fragrance of vegetables, but after smelling it, how can the glutton in your stomach calm down?

Seeing Jing Lan swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva, Liu Xi joked, "Should we talk about the business first?"

Jing Lan turned her face away, "Don't eat the food that comes from you!"

"You really don't want to eat?"

"Don't eat!"

"Then I'll feed you."

"Liuxi, you..."

Li Li couldn't help laughing, she pouted her chin and looked at the two in front of her, "Xiang Yue."

"Who wants to marry her?" Jing Lan picked up the bowl and chopsticks, took a bite of rice, "I have hands, eat by myself!"

Liu Xi smiled helplessly, "It would be nice to be here earlier."

Shen Jiangli's eyes were bright, and he looked at Liu Xi with a smile, "Sister, sister." After a pause, "Wow, bad."

Jing Lan smiled wryly, when did these two become allies?

Liu Xi seemed to know what she was thinking, she raised her hand to caress the back of Shen Jiangli's head, and said with a smile: "My sister and I hit it off right away, and we have become sisters for a long time."

Shen Jiangli nodded heavily.

Liu Xi also pouted her chin and looked at Jing Lan, "It's just a few grasshoppers sent by the court, and it won't take a whole day. Ah Lan, are you underestimating me?"

Jing Lan fell silent.

Liu Xi chuckled, "You can eat slowly, and we'll go on the road together after eating."

Jing Lan was shocked, "Where are you going?"
