Wait a minute, heroine

The sky is bright.

There was no sound in the inn, and there was a little more sound of movement on the street outside the window.

In the room, Fan Qinghe was lying on the pillow, his hands folded on his waist and his eyes closed, sleeping soundly. When he was half asleep, he suddenly heard from the door:

Da da da……

"Shh~ don't make trouble."

"grumble……"

Fan Qinghe opened his eyes and turned to look at the door, only to see that the door was squeezed open and the big bird got in. He plunged his head into the bamboo hat on the table. There was no movement on the spot. His movements could be described as smooth and smooth.

Then Ye Jingtang walked in, carrying someone on his back.

Fan Qinghe looked around briefly and saw that the person carrying Xuanji was the real person. His eyes were slightly startled, he raised his upper body and asked:

"What's up with her?"

Ye Jingtang closed the door with his feet, carried the drunken Master Xuanji to the bed and put him down:

"She was attacked by Duanshengji and people from Qianjimen and received a heart-breaking needle. Please help her check the situation."

When Fan Qinghe heard that he had been hit by the Heart-Destroying Needle, his expression became more solemn. He held Master Xuanji's wrist and inspected it carefully for a moment:

"The pulse is unstable. She's probably fine. She just needs to recuperate... She was hit by a heart-breaking needle. Why do you still let her drink?"

Master Xuanji was just drunk, not in a coma. Hearing the conversation between the two, he seemed drunk and continued:

"Living while drunk and dying in a dream is a rare blessing, and he can't control me..."

While speaking, Master Xuanji opened her eyes, looked at the two people left and right, twisted her body, squeezed Fan Qinghe inward, leaving space on the outside, raised her hand and patted the bed:

"Night Terror Hall, you've been working hard all night, are you tired? Why don't you lie down and take a rest?"

To be honest, Ye Jingtang really wanted to lie down and teach Shuishui a lesson that he would remember for a lifetime, but Miss Fan was lying side by side in front of him. He definitely couldn't do this, so he just pretended not to hear and asked:

"How is Miss Fan's health?"

Fan Qinghe's body was fine, but her mind was filled with the incident of seeing her grandma in the Night Terror Hall. The demon girl deliberately teased and made such a joke about being slept with, which made her mind even weirder.

Fan Qinghe secretly glanced at Ye Jingtang and saw that Ye Jingtang had no evil thoughts and seemed not to take what happened last night to heart, so he secretly felt relieved and said with a smile:

"I'm much better, just take a nap and I'll be fine. Let me take care of her. You haven't slept all night, so you should take a rest."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't say much. He looked back and forth a few times, and after confirming that there was no big problem with the two of them, he got up and helped put down the tent, and went out with Niaoniao, who was sleeping like a dead pig, in his arms.

Squeak——

After the door was closed, Ye Jingtang stood in the corridor and looked out the window. He wanted to go and tell Ning'er that he was safe.

But it was almost dawn, and Ning'er and Leader Xue must be resting. He ran to the door and pulled Ning'er out of the bed. Thinking that it wasn't appropriate, he carried Niao Niu into the next room.

As a result, just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly heard another voice:

"You don't even know how to take off your clothes... Huh? Why are you wearing the clothes of Night Terror Hall?"

"The clothes are torn."

"Oh...he tore off your clothes?!"

"The poisonous needle is on the back. Is it possible to remove it completely without tearing it?"

"You are Master Jing Wang. He is half a mother-in-law. Can you show your body to him?"

"You still have his aunt..."

"I haven't shown it to him... so go ahead and don't squeeze me..."

…

Ye Jingtang blinked his eyes, feeling a little weird. He shook his head to brush away the distracting thoughts and entered the door...

——

At noon, the pier gradually became busy. People from all walks of life gathered in restaurants. The discussion was even more lively than yesterday:

"It is said that beside Daxia Ye, there is also a half-grown girl, who is wielding a big knife. The knife is raised up higher than his head. She is as beautiful as a fairy and has a powerful aura, just like the fairy who walked out of the painting..."

"Oh? Could it be Ye's father-in-law and daughter?"

"Ye Daxia is only about 20 years old. How could she be a daughter? Let me see, she might be a confidante. It is said that the girl is as tall as the Toad Palace Goddess, the most beautiful woman in the world..."

…

Amid the noisy discussion, a merchant ship sailed slowly along the river.

The fair-skinned and beautiful Xiao Yunli folded her arms around her chest and listened to the compliments, feeling unavoidably happy in her heart.

However, she still felt that it was a bit exaggerated to say that she was not inferior to the master's wife. After all, she was only sixteen and a little smaller than the master's wife. If they stripped naked and lay together, there was no comparison.

Behind Zhe Yunli, Pei Xiangjun was dressed as a lady, looking at the pier to look for traces of the Night Terror Hall. With a faint worry in his eyes, he stood with Yunli, much like a young lady leaning on the railing with her daughter to look at her husband.

Soon, the ship docked at the pier, and among the crowds of people on the shore, a figure walked out and waved from a distance:

"Sanniang."

"Brother Jing~" Zhe Yunli saw this and waved his hand quickly.

Pei Xiangjun finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Jingtang was safe and sound. With a smile on his face, he stepped off the pedal and asked:

"Jingtang, where were you yesterday? Is everything okay?"

"I just encountered an ambush. I'm fine. However, Miss Fan and Master Xuanji were slightly injured and are resting in the inn."

Ye Jingtang came forward, glanced at the black police officer on the boat, and asked:

"Where are Prince Jing and the others?"

"Yesterday you stayed out all night. Both Prince Jing and the Queen Mother were worried. They just went to bed. You go to report that you are safe first, and I will go to Master Liu Xiang of Yazhou Hall to get some news."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang walked to the boat, not forgetting to say to Yun Li:

"In the teahouse in the middle of the market, they were talking about the Broken Dragon Platform. The old gentleman was very eloquent. I listened to it for half the night yesterday..."

"Yeah?"

Zheyunli was worried that he had nothing to do, so he entered the small street with Sanniang.

After Ye Jingtang watched the two of them go, he boarded the deck and greeted She Long and others, communicated about the smuggling den in Xiabanan Town, and asked She Long to lead a team to seize the prohibited items hidden in the escort agency for the court. Use it as evidence when closing the case.

After everything was explained, Ye Jingtang entered the ship building alone.

On the second floor of the boat building, there is a bedroom.

Last night, the Night Terror Hall stayed out all night, and the Queen Mother naturally stayed up all night. Although she was annoyed with the lawlessness of the Night Terror Hall and was offended by not abiding by the agreement when she came back, she suddenly lost contact. These emotions were replaced by worries, and she kept tossing and turning. wait for news.

When there were voices outside, the Queen Mother's eyes moved slightly, she stood up and put on her shawl, glanced at the window a few times, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual about the Night Terror Hall, she went to the door again, hoping to wait for the Night Terror Hall to pass by. Open the door and give a lukewarm hello.

But it's a pity that the Queen Mother has obviously forgotten how good the Night Terror Hall's perception is.

After Ye Jingtang greeted Hongyu who was preparing breakfast, he came to the corridor on the second floor. Before he reached the door, he heard the sound of people taking deep breaths and suppressing their emotions from behind the door. When he saw this, he Silently suppressed the sound of footsteps.

Tread...

At the door, the Queen Mother put her hand on the door and was ready to go out. However, after listening for a moment, she found that the footsteps disappeared up the stairs.

?

What about people...

The Queen Mother blinked her apricot eyes and waited for a moment without any movement, then opened the door a small crack to see what was going on outside.

The result was good. As soon as she leaned towards the door to check, she found a handsome and sunny face looking at her with a smile outside the door.

? !

The Queen Mother was shocked and wanted to close the door, but it was obviously too late.

Squeak~

The door was pushed open and closed, and Ye Jingtang, who was wearing black robe, had entered the room.

The Queen Mother took two steps back, clasped her hands on her waist, held her head high and held her chest high, trying to show off the majesty of the mother of a country. But before she could speak, she saw a man much taller than her, who walked straight up to her and held her hand. cheek.

"You are so presumptuous... ugh..."

The Empress Dowager's eyebrows stood upright. She couldn't avoid her red lips, but she didn't dare to make too much noise, so she gritted her teeth tightly and stepped on Ye Jingtang's toes with her palace shoes.

As a result, the Queen Mother obviously suffered from her height. Before she even stepped on her toes, Ye Jingtang put his arm around her waist and held her with her calves in the air and her feet off the ground.

"Woo..."

The plump Queen Mother was pressed against her chest, her chin was pinched and she couldn't move away. She was angry, embarrassed and nervous in her heart. She had no choice but to close her eyes and not respond at all.

Ye Jingtang was not rude at all. He hugged her and saw that the Queen Mother was extremely nervous. He even took a few steps back and forth in order to make her relax.

But such an embarrassing situation made the girl even more ashamed and angry.

The Queen Mother found that the night terror hall held her as if coaxing a child. You can imagine how she felt in her heart. She opened her eyes again and twisted her shoulders a few times:

"Uh-huh~!!"

Only then did Ye Jingtang stop talking, put the Queen Mother down, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm fine, don't worry."

The Queen Mother was breathing rapidly, covering her lips with her sleeves and staring at Ye Jingtang. It took her a long time to catch her breath, and she showed a look of hatred:

"Ye Jing Tang, I have been so tolerant and persuasive to you, but you have continued to offend me repeatedly. You..."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang raised his arms and hugged him again, patting his back to comfort him:

"Okay, okay, I just see you are worried..."

I am worried about you, so you will kiss me?

Don't you want to repay kindness with hatred?

The Queen Mother's anger was not dissipated, but Ye Jingtang hugged her again. Perhaps because she was afraid that she would continue to be held down, her attitude softened and she turned her head:

"Li Ren has been worried about you all night, so hurry up and take a look."

Ye Jingtang smiled softly and saw that the Queen Mother ignored him, so he left first.

The Empress Dowager folded her shawl and stood up, assuming the posture of a mother honoring the world, but as soon as Ye Jingtang left the house, she quickly came to the door and locked the door.

Click~

Ye Jingtang secretly laughed in his heart, and did not disturb the Queen Mother anymore, and came to the room at the stern of the ship.

After Dongfang Liren came back from Broken Dragon Platform, he was caught in the act by a boat full of women who blocked the door. He couldn't sleep at first. He stayed up all night after being frightened by the night terror last night. Naturally, no one dared to disturb me, and the area around the room was very quiet.

Night Terror Hall came to the door and wanted to knock on the door, but when he heard even breathing coming from inside, he didn't wake up yet, so he just gently opened the door and took a look.

The room was very tidy, with a few scrolls on the table, as well as untouched snacks and tea.

Dongfang Liren was lying on his side on the bed, sleeping fully clothed, with a thin quilt around his waist, and the hosta on his head was removed, resulting in a full head of black hair hanging down his back. He looked a little less heroic than usual, but more There is a lot of elegant book fragrance. If it weren't for the ups and downs in figure, from a distance, she would look like a gentle lady who fell asleep in the middle of studying hard.

Ye Jingtang rarely saw Benben's gentle look. After looking at the door for a while, he quietly came to the door, sat down on the side of the bed, and helped pull the thin quilt up.

Suo Suo~

Dongfang Liren stayed up late and waited. He had just fallen asleep and was not awakened by the gentle movements. However, he must have subconsciously realized that the Night Terror Hall was in front of him, and the worry between his brows softened slightly.

Ye Jingtang sat next to him. After staring for a long time, he stood up and put down the curtain to prevent Benben from sleeping well due to too strong light, and then quietly left the bedroom...

——

Lanhe Wharf is the main port in the west of Yazhou. You can go down the Qingjiang River to Yunzhou, and from the Lanhe River up to the hinterland of Yazhou.

The main industries of Honghua House are in fertile areas. The scale of Yazhou is not very large, and it is basically the same size as Liangzhou Hall. However, there are still a few shops on Lanhe Pier, which can be regarded as the contact point of the hall. On weekdays, He often contacts Mrs. Huang Zhu in northern Yunzhou.

The Night Terror Hall found its location last night, but it was just a busy night. After getting off the boat, we went directly to a pawn shop on the pier. As soon as we walked into the backyard, we heard conversations coming from the teahouse:

"Since Yuan Ming's death, the hall master has been paying attention to the situation in Duanbeiya over the years. However, Wu Kui Shenlong has never seen its head and tail. It is indeed not easy to find out its whereabouts..."

When Ye Jingtang came from the door and looked around, he could see that Sanniang was sitting on the main seat, holding a tea cup in her hand. Next to her was Liu Hong, the old incense master here, who was over fifty years old and was talking with a sad look on his face.

The last annual meeting of the Red Flower House was held, and all the incense owners were present. Liu Hong had also seen Ye Jingtang. When he saw Ye Jingtang appearing at the door, he quickly stood up to greet him:

"Young Master, you are here too..."

"We are all one family, Uncle Liu doesn't have to be so polite."

After Ye Jingtang returned the greeting, he came to sit down in front of Sanniang, listened for a while, and asked:

"How much does Uncle Liu know about the scaled steel?"

Liu Hong had just had a brief chat with Pei Xiangjun and responded:

"Scale steel is a forbidden item. No one in the government can get it. If Duanbeiya is doing this kind of business... well... I guess it has something to do with Wang Hu of Jinyang City.

"Wang Hu served in the army in the past and is very experienced in people. It is said that he has good relations with many high-ranking officials and generals. He relied on his connections to collect tribute money in the city and started his own business more than ten years ago. In recent years, he suddenly became prosperous and bought many properties, but he is very low-key. .

"If it weren't for the fact that the church has been unable to make ends meet in recent years, and the church owner sold a tea garden at home in order to provide monthly payments to his disciples, and it happened to be sold by Wang Hu's nephew, I wouldn't have known that Wang Hu had such a strong foundation.

"It's impossible to earn such a fortune in just a few years by just occupying a few streets and collecting some tribute money. But I haven't heard that Wang Hu has a background in the world. The person behind the scenes may be Duan Shengji... "

Jinyang City is located in the upper reaches of the Lan River. It is considered an important border military town. The mining areas in Yazhou are all there. It is more than 200 miles away from the Lan River Pier, which is not too far away.

When Liu Hong was talking about the news, he did not forget to express his bitterness between the lines, saying that the hall was poor and that the hall master had sold off his property to pay his salary. The purpose was naturally to share the helm with the host and the young master, so as to reduce or reduce the tribute this year.

Pei Xiangjun hoped that Ye Jingtang would take over, so she naturally didn't express her position on such a matter of winning people's hearts.

Although Ye Jingtang is not very good at business, he has worked as a young boss in a escort agency for many years. He naturally understands these people and is so sophisticated. After asking about the news, he asked about Tangkou's situation in recent years...
