The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 223
After Jiang Chuan returned to the post house, he washed up first, and became more sober.

After asking, Jiang Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the foreign girl Madai who was rescued today had already fallen asleep.If he didn't want to inquire about news from her on the other side of the ocean, he wouldn't be kind.

Send someone to find Bai Jinxiu, he has something to say.

Just as he was lighting the lamp, Bai Jinxiu came over.

Jiang Chuan briefly talked about the agreement he reached with Li Yongnian, and Bai Jinxiu thought for a while and said, "He seems to be holding a wait-and-see attitude. The two thousand stones are a bit reluctant."

Jiang Chuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for both of them, then smiled lightly: "It's okay. He will be willing sooner or later. Although [-] shi is not too much, it is not too little. What I want is his attitude." , at least I know he doesn't dare to make small moves behind my back."

Bai Jinxiu nodded and said, "That's true."

"And with you here watching him, I'm even more relieved. However, there is someone you have to check." Jiang Chuan then recounted the matter of saving Mo Dai today.

"You mean you want me to check on this Hu girl?" Bai Jinxiu's expression was very calm, but Jiang Chuan, who had been paying attention to her reaction, was a little confused.

In fact, she had already learned about this from Shen Lian, and Shen Lian's appearance was also the result of her arrangement.

"Don't think too much about it. I saved her just at the right time, and I want to learn some news from her on the other side of the ocean. This is very important for our future." Jiang Chuan explained by himself.

Bai Jinxiu looked at him with a half-smile: "I didn't think too much, but I think you think too much."

Jiang Chuan was a little embarrassed, as if it was true.

"Actually, you don't need to tell me, I've already arranged for someone to investigate Hu Nu and Wan Chun Lou." Bai Jinxiu said suddenly.Jiang Chuan was a little surprised, and murmured: "You move so fast?"

"When you come to Datong, I will pay attention to everyone who appears around you. You have to guard against people with evil intentions." Bai Jinxiu's voice was very calm.

"Don't you ask how we deal with the guards in Wanchun Building and the magistrate's yamen?" Bai Jinxiu continued.

"As long as you have a clear idea of ​​this matter, since the Black Ice Terrace is entrusted to you, you can make the decision." Jiang Chuan said.

"Okay then, I'll tell you the result." Bai Jinxiu said.

Jiang Chuan was suddenly moved, and said for a while, "You did better than I imagined."

Bai Jinxiu smiled, revealing the shyness that a young girl should have. Seeing Jiang Chuan's heart suddenly moved, she suddenly thought whether she would only show a girlish demeanor in front of him.

After all, doing intelligence work is to live with darkness, which has a great influence on people's emotional character.It was indeed a bit cruel for a woman to do such a thing, and Jiang Chuan couldn't bear it.

Bai Jinxiu seemed to sense his emotions, and suddenly said softly: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm not as fragile as you imagined."

Jiang Chuan silently stretched his hand across the table and patted the back of her cold hand, and said softly, "Thank you."

Bai Jinxiu's heart trembled, she lowered her head and said, "I owe you, I can help you as a repayment."

Neither of them spoke anymore, only the candle on the table beeped suddenly, pulling their shadows long under the candlelight, and the two shadows were entangled on the ground, as if they were cuddling each other .

"How much do you know about the owner behind Dong Xiangchun?" Jiang Chuan asked suddenly.

Bai Jinxiu looked up at him and said, "Why are you interested in Dong Xiangchun?"

"Because Dongxiangchun has some strange things that arouse my interest, and I want to meet the owner behind it." Jiang Chuan said.

Bai Jinxiu suddenly fell silent, and after a while, said in a low voice: "I will try my best to find out, but Dong Xiangchun's owner is very mysterious, and few people know where he is."

"I've heard that, just do your best. It all depends on fate." Jiang Chuan nodded.

The two of them were speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere became quiet.In the end, it was Bai Jinxiu who broke the silence, looked at Jiang Chuan and asked, "How are you going to deal with this Hu girl?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Jiang Chuan thought about it.

"Well, your status is different now. Many people are looking at you, wanting to put eyeliner around you. Some even have more vicious thoughts, so be careful." Bai Jinxiu said slowly.

Jiang Chuan understood what she meant, nodded with a smile and said, "I know."

"Okay, I'm going back." After speaking, Bai Jinxiu got up and was about to leave.

Jiang Chuan said from behind: "It's so late, why don't you just stay for one night."

After she finished speaking, she realized that Bai Jinxiu was stunned, and then she felt that her words might have caused a misunderstanding, and explained with a wry smile: "I mean, let Yicheng arrange another room for you to stay for one night. It won't be too late to go back at dawn tomorrow." .”

Only then did Bai Jinxiu relax, she turned around and said, "In Datong, we still try to avoid people as much as possible. I'm leaving. It's time for a curfew."

Jiang Chuan understood what she meant. After all, she was doing secret work, so he had no choice but to say: "Then be careful on the road. Today I will ask Shen Lian to meet me at the post house tomorrow. I will knock it, and it will be easier for you to use in the future."

Bai Jinxiu nodded to show that she understood, got up and put on her cloak, opened the curtain and went out.

………………

The next day, just after Jiang Chuan had breakfast, Bai Mu came to report that Shen Lian was begging to see him outside.

Jiang Chuan let him in, and a moment later Shen Lian walked in with a bow. As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down on one knee and bowed loudly to Jiang Chuan: "Shen Lian pays homage to Lord Marquis."

Shen Lian knelt on the ground. He didn't hear the voice telling him to get up, but he could feel a majestic gaze staring at him with scrutiny. There is a layer of fine sweat on the back, it is winter.

He has already learned from Heibingtai the ruthlessness and thunderbolt methods of Jiang's army. The Marquis of Wu'an in front of him is tough with the Tartars. He has repeatedly defeated the Tartars. The Qianhu who bullied the common people relying on Jin Yiwei's prestige is not at the same level at all.

The so-called arrogance of domineering is actually a kind of illusion in the heart of the lower-ranking people facing the higher-ranking ones because of the huge difference in status.It would be fine if Shen Lian didn't know the identity of the person in front of him.It's just that once you know that this is a murderer with no calculations, you will naturally have fear in your heart.

"Shen Lian, do you resent us in your heart, feel that we have ruined your bright future and forced you onto our ship?" After a long while, when Shen Lian felt that he could not hold on any longer, the young Hou in front of him Grandpa finally spoke.

But the content of these words made Shen Lian's heart sink, his crotch trembled, and he almost lay down on the ground, and hurriedly raised his head and said loudly: "Master Hou, Shen Lian has never thought about it like this..."

　That's all for today.These few days, Calvin has been in great pain.There is an outline and line, but I feel that the progress of the plot is a bit slow, so I want to adjust it and re-conceive it.Fortunately, I have so many brothers who support me, thank you very much.Please understand me.The update may be slower in these two days, but please believe that I will return to the previous speed of three updates a day in two or three days at most.
