[Old Nine Gates] The concubine is polite

The sky was slightly bright, and Zhang Qishan, who woke up naturally at that point, slowly opened his eyes, looked around the bedroom, reached out and touched the quilt beside him, there was no trace of warmth in the place touched by his hands, and looked at the bedroom door suspiciously. Thoughtful, he stood up after a while, changed his clothes, and said in a loud voice, "Come here."

Waiting for the servants outside to file in, one serves tea and water, one makes the bed, one cleans the room, and the other bows and waits for orders.

"Where's your wife?"

"My wife went to the greenhouse an hour ago, and then she went into the warehouse and didn't come out again." The servant bowed and replied.

"The warehouse?" Zhang Qishan put down the towel to wash his face and asked in doubt.

"The wife didn't explain what she was going to do, because it was the wife's private treasury, the housekeeper didn't ask any further questions."

"I see, let's go."

"Yes, Master Buddha." The servant turned and walked out of the bedroom to wait at the door.

While buttoning the cuffs of his clothes, Zhang Qishan walked downstairs slowly. As soon as he arrived at the lobby on the first floor, the housekeeper who was waiting bowed forward to report: "Lord Buddha, Adjutant Zhang is already waiting in the side hall, ready to leave at any time."

Zhang Qishan nodded and walked towards the restaurant.At this time, a Western-style breakfast was placed on the dining table. Seeing the tableware for one person, Zhang Qishan raised his head and asked, "Has Madam eaten breakfast?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I haven't used it yet. My wife told me not to disturb her before entering the warehouse."

"Okay, I see, you go down." After finishing speaking, Zhang Qishan began to eat.

"By the way, Master Buddha, Madam has packed your luggage this morning. Do you need to check again? Is there anything missing that needs to be added?" The butler was about to go down when he suddenly remembered something, hesitantly or supplemented the report.

"Madam took care of it herself?" Zhang Qishan stopped eating.

"Yes. Personally tell the little one to hand over the luggage to Adjutant Zhang." The housekeeper nodded repeatedly.

"No need to add anything, just give it to the adjutant directly." Zhang Qishan was puzzled by Li Yan's sudden behavior, but he was also assured that she was always serious and careful.

"The little one is taking his leave." The housekeeper got the instructions and went down to hand over the luggage in peace.

Until it was confirmed that Zhang Foye and the adjutant rode away from the back door of the mansion, Li Yan secretly asked Er Ya to carry a cloth bag on her back, and reported to the housekeeper to go to the Red Mansion to visit Mrs. Hong, whom she had not seen for a long time, and refused the housekeeper's kindness to send a vehicle , took Erya into the rickshaw that he had contacted in advance, and ran towards the gate of the city.

"Ma'am, Erya is afraid." Erya shrank back in the car with a timid face, trying to persuade her but dared not.

"Don't forget that you are from our Li family, as my personal servant girl, how can you have no courage at all?" Li Yan encouraged Erya.

"But madam, if you don't let Er Ya follow, what will you do if you are in danger?"

"Crow's mouth, if you are really in danger, wouldn't you just buy one and get one free?"

"You're right, but..."

"But what? If I'm really in danger, it's good that you didn't follow. If I don't come back in time, wouldn't you just go back to the house to rescue the soldiers?" Li Yan said while putting the jewelry on her head and body. unloaded.

"That's right, madam, you are really smart." Erya tilted her head and thought about it carefully, thinking that what her wife said was really reasonable.

"Okay, keep these things safe for me, and give me my package. How long will it be?" Li Yan gathered the jewelry and handed it to Erya, and took back the packaged package from Erya.

"One more corner ahead and you can see the gate of the city, hey, coachman, hurry up!" Erya poked her head around and reported.

"Hey, madam, please sit down." The rickshaw driver yelled, and immediately speeded up.

The rickshaw with poor shock-absorbing effect made Li Yan want to vomit due to the bumps. Fortunately, he woke up so busy that he forgot to eat breakfast.Resisting the desire to retch again, the disheveled Li Yan finally saw Qi Ba who was waiting in the middle of the city gate from a distance.

"Hey, you're really conspicuous, and it's really blocking the way right in the middle." The two underground organizations finally met, but it was a pity that they opened up after a disagreement.

"Can you be less conspicuous? I'm afraid you have bad eyesight, so I missed it." Qi Ba, dressed in a professional fortune-telling outfit, dragged a mule closer to Li Yan who was about to get off the car.

"Do I dare to miss you? If I miss you, where do I go to meet Buddha and the others?" Li Yan looked at Qi Ba's attire with a smile, and went around to observe from top to bottom.

Qi Ba felt uncomfortable being watched by Li Yan, and stared back at him. He was so happy when he saw this, "You went to be a thief last night, why are the dark circles under your eyes so thick? I guess you want to run to Mine, absolutely a mine is killing people."

"The nightmare of the night scared me to wake up early, so I just got up and got ready. Isn't this to support you? Look, I have all the equipment." Li Yan was wearing a ghostly white shirt. face, holding up the package he brought.

"By the way, are you really going? That place is really not peaceful, I can't hide from it, why are you so stupid?" Qi Ba looked disapproving, and tried to persuade Li Yan to go back.

"Of course I'm going. If I don't go, I'll let the servants run to your house early in the morning to have fun? Okay, I've made up my mind. Find a place for me to change clothes. It's striking."

"All right, all right, my eldest lady, since you were young, you have never had good things with me, and you don't know if you owed me in your previous life. Anyway, in this life, you and your husband will always bully me together." Qi Ba Glancing around, he pointed to one place: "Hey, hurry up, Lord Buddha and the others probably have to wait in a hurry."

"Understood, thank you, old eight." Li Yan waved her hand with a smile, pulled Er Ya and ran towards that place.

Ten minutes later, a horse and a mule rushed out of the city one after another.

In a remote place on Shilipo outside the city, two men in plain clothes were carrying two tall horses. One of them looked down at his pocket watch. The agreed time was more than a quarter of an hour. The man with a more outstanding temperament said: "Buddha, do you think Ba Ye will come?"

Zhang Foye frowned and looked around: "Come, I will definitely come."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Ba appeared at the corner of the hillside, holding on to the grain and grass in one hand, and clattering with the mule in the other: "Hey, Lord Buddha, I'm here!"

Qi Ba shouted enthusiastically, but his footsteps were extremely slow, and the mule beside him actually walked sideways in the direction of Buddha, looking particularly sneaky.

"Baye, hurry up, according to your pace, we probably won't be able to reach the mine until dark." Adjutant Zhang urged, looking at the sky.

Qi Ba glanced at the mule beside him, shook his head and said, "It won't be long, my mule is very precious, and I like to walk on catwalks."

"Baye, is there something hiding behind you?" Zhang Dafo master keenly caught the mule's back, and a gray corner of his clothes flashed past.

Hearing this, Qi Bay subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Zhang Foye, touched the disapproval in Zhang Foye's eyes, scratched his head with a wry smile, and pulled the mule away, revealing Li Yan who was bowed and half squatting: "Foye, what is this?" You really can't blame me, Ayan insists on following, you know, I can't stop it, "

"Nonsense! A Yan, we are going to the mine to search for clues. The danger there is unpredictable. If something happens to you, how can I explain to your father?" Zhang Foye turned over and got off the horse, and put his horse's reins in In Li Yan's hand: "Take it, ride it back."

Li Yan wanted to throw off the rein to increase his aura of refusal, but after thinking about it, he felt reluctant. This was the first time the Buddha gave someone a gift, how could he just throw it away, so he held the rope firmly in his hand, Gao He retorted loudly: "I won't go back, besides, I have a horse myself!"

"... Give me back the horse." Zhang Foye stretched out his hand to ask for the horse.

"You gave it to me, how can you take it back?" Li Yan, who was the master of Jinshan, refused to give up.

"Ayan, don't lose your temper, time is running out, I can't leave the mansion for too long, give me the horse, and you go back as soon as possible."

Li Yan glanced at Zhang Foye who was frowning, hesitated and returned the horse rope: "Let me go with you."

Zhang Foye put one hand on Li Yan's shoulder, and patiently comforted him: "Eighth Lord alone, I am sure to keep him safe, but with another one, I can't gamble with your safety, don't make me worry, go back."

Li Yan shook his head: "Foye is worried about Ayan, why is Ayan also worried about Foye? What's more, there will be no eggs under the overturned nest. If something happens to Buddha, who else can protect me? Foye has already Protecting me for five years, five years is not long, but it is not short, I am tired of always being a burden to the Buddha. Although my father is only a side branch of the Li family, but when it comes to fighting against each other, my father has contributed a lot , now that my father's lineage has gone overseas, I can't do anything in the Li family, but Ayan is obliged to use my personal ability. The enemy is approaching, and now is the time when the Buddha needs to employ people, how can I watch the Buddha alone Should people take on the responsibility of protecting the people of Changsha City? Let me go with you, you will need me."

Li's father's parting support from many years ago was vaguely heard, and Zhang Qishan's eyes showed a look of struggle. Suddenly Li Yan held Zhang Qishan's hand with both hands. Zhang Qishan looked up at Li Yan with firm eyes, closed his eyes and sighed lightly. In the end, he compromised and said, "Don't leave my sight."

Li Yan showed surprise, raised his eyebrows with one hand and five fingers together: "I promise!"

"But..." Master Zhang rubbed his nose, hesitating whether to say it or not.

"What's wrong?" Li Yan was puzzled.

"Ma'am, your outfit and Baye are really the mine version of the classic fraud combination of demon and demon collector." Adjutant Zhang turned his head to one side and smiled.

"What, what's wrong with my body?" Li Yan and Qi Ba refused to accept at the same time.

"You talk first." Li Yan gave priority to politeness.

"My outfit is the standard attire of a fortune teller who walks the rivers and lakes. This attire is the safest attire. No one will think that I am going to investigate the case. Look at the two of you, even though you are wearing casual clothes , but at first glance, he is not an ordinary person, not good, not good." Qi Ba researched this outfit after a night of deliberation.

"Ba Ye, we disguised ourselves so as not to startle the enemy." The adjutant reminded me funny.

Qi Bayi nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, look at me, how low-key I am."

The adjutant grinned: "But your bell," he said, taking the bell hanging from Qi Ba's waist, "everyone in a radius of several miles can hear the sound of your bell." Li Yan, who has nothing to do with himself.

As soon as Li Yan received Adjutant Zhang's eyes, he immediately became unhappy: "Look at what I do, I'm also very low-key, okay, I'm dressed in a dusty sackcloth civilian outfit, with a long braid, this is the classic village girl's attire." Of course, this is a classic village girl's attire, but if it is not paired with a flowery face, pale with cyan, bloodshot eye sockets, thick dark circles, if you don't pay attention, you will be straight Eyes, the whole classic reappearance of a beautiful female ghost.

"Cough." Even Master Zhang couldn't bear to look at it, and turned his head to suppress a smile.
