Atractylodes

The group did not stay long at the inn.

Lan Junrong wanted to go back to see the host of Ming Lou, but the fact that he came back could not be known for the time being, it would be too ostentatious to bring too many people.So he pointed at Bai Shu after explaining the matter, "Come with me."

"Me?" Bai Shu pointed to himself.

"Who else can you have?"

Bai Shu looked around, seeing that everyone had no objection, he couldn't help swallowing.

Lord of the Underworld, it sounds scary.

……

Three days later, Lan Junrong took Bai Shu back to the Ming Tower, there were few guards in the Ming Tower, but if someone dared to break in without fear of death, they would be murderous within three steps.

Thinking back how much effort Bai Shu spent to escape from here...

"Baishu."

I don't know why Lan Junrong stopped suddenly, Bai Shu was a little strange, I saw Lan Junrong slowly turned his head to look at him, "If you don't want to go in, it doesn't matter."

Ming Lou is a place that carries most of Bai Shu's painful memories in the past three years.Lin Jin's death, Lan Junrong's death, being abandoned by everyone in the Chong family, being tolerated by the people of Jiang Hu...

Now Bai Shu finally came out from the shadows, but...

Lan Junrong was about to die.

Bai Shu gave a "tsk", "Isn't it just to meet the parents? I didn't respond at all, why are you excited?"

Lan Junrong actually felt guilty towards Bai Shu, especially when he thought about how Bai Shu spent these three years, he couldn't forgive himself.Lan Junrong never asked about Bai Shu's past three years, because he was afraid of knowing.

After the notification, a masked man in black led the two of them to turn left and right in a large bush of crabapple flowers.The color of the crabapple flowers in Minglou is just right, it is so bright that it makes Baishu feel a little stressed.

The man finally stopped, "Report to the old landlord, and the right envoy will bring it to you."

Bai Shu looked up and saw a deck chair among the crabapple flowers, and an old man in white was lying on it with his eyes closed, as if taking a nap.

There was a fluffy thing lying on the old man's stomach, and red silk was tied around his neck, and he saw that the visitor was staring at Bai Zhu with a pair of round eyes.

Lan Junrong half knelt down, "Subordinates join the landlord."

It took a long time for the old man to speak slowly, with a half-dead look, "Stop playing this game between us, get up. Now that you have made a choice, time is bound to run out, and I can't help you."

Bai Shu glanced at Lan Junrong in panic, and saw that Lan Junrong's expression remained unchanged, "This subordinate knows, but I just have some questions in my heart and want to ask you."

Leng Yi slowly opened his eyes, turned his head and looked at Bai Shu with a half-smile, "Are you heavy Bai Shu?"

For a moment, Bai Shu couldn't move his eyes as if his soul had been taken away - those eyes were so special, he had never seen a person with such special eyes, let alone an old man.Those eyes... seem to hide the whole world.

His eyes are like glass.

Bai Shu originally planned to stand silently behind Lan Junrong as a small follower, but he was pleasantly surprised to be called by the big man, and suddenly panicked, "Senior...know me?"

Unexpectedly, Leng Yi raised his eyebrows, his white hair slightly covered his eyes, "You are more famous than me."

Bai Shu's face was flushed to the ears, and he glanced at Lan Junrong with a guilty conscience, "It's...really?"

Leng Yi lowered his eyebrows halfway, "Yin Jiuge sent me a letter a few days ago, telling me that Junrong is gone. Zuo Yi is so unreliable, he actually took you to Lianyin Valley without making a sound. I got scolded."

Bai Shu secretly wiped off his cold sweat, old man Yin is too courageous, anyone dare to scold him?

Bai Shu hesitated for a while, "That...Senior Yin asked me to tell you..."

"He said it." Leng Yi yawned, stroking the snow-white fur on the snow fox's back, "He told me not to care about the Shenyue Palace and the Nine Styles of Phoenix Dance."

Lan Junrong lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully, "Actually, I have a question I've wanted to ask the host for a long time—Why did you help me when I escaped from Lan's house?"

Leng Yi was silent for a while, his eyes were stained with unknown emotions, "I can't help it, I don't want to care about it. It's just that a person from Shenyue Palace died because of me, and I have to inherit his last wish and take back "Nine Forms of Phoenix Dance" But... I really don’t know what capacity I should take care of his affairs.” Leng Yi sighed slightly, and the little fox immediately stepped forward and licked the back of the old man’s haggard hand, “Ban, Lan, Chong The Shenyue and Shen families are all descendants of Shenyue Palace's subordinates back then, and killing each other like this is really not what I want to see."

Bai Shu felt that the old man in Minglou was a bit entangled, what does it mean to take care of his affairs in what capacity?Even if you have achieved this level, you still have to worry about these problems?

"So when I met you six years ago, I could save you, and when I saw Bai Shu three years ago, I could take him in. But other than that, I won't go out of my way to solve it."

Lan Junrong frowned, only to see Leng Yi raised his hand slightly to stop his questioning, "But you are the right envoy of the Underworld now, so it doesn't matter if you have me or not."

Now Bai Shu understood, it turned out that from the very beginning, Leng Yi wanted Lan Junrong to deal with Chongluo, so that although Minglou also participated in it, he himself did not "intervene".

"Have you figured it out? Go back when you figure it out." The old man paused, lowered his eyes, and said casually, "You can also ask Zuo Yi for help. He may tell you that you can start with Chong Luo's wife, but he Whether I want to help you or not is none of my business..."

The old man dragged out his tone, looking lazy.

Bai Shu rolled his eyes, the old man was so strange, he seemed to be reminding Lan Junrong everywhere, but he looked more like he was trying to separate the relationship.

"Did Jiuchonglou say anything else?" Lan Junrong asked suddenly.

Bai Shu was still a little strange, why did he suddenly mention Jiuchonglou.But Leng Yi shook his head with a "tsk tsk", and sighed in a drawn out tone, "The world is going down, people's hearts are not old."

——The Jiuchong Building in Chang'an City claims to know everything, and a piece of news is worth ten thousand taels of gold.So it is said that Jiuzhonglou gave the clue that it was Chongluo's wife?

"But what can my sister-in-law know?" In Bai Shu's knowledge, Qin Xin and Chong Luo raised eyebrows, and Chong Luo was hiding so deeply that it was difficult for Qin Xin to find out what was going on.Otherwise, with Qin Xin's temperament, if she knew what Chong Luo had done, how could she keep it secret?

Leng Yi shook his head, lowered his eyebrows to tease the little fox, "I don't know, I don't understand, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me..."

Baishu: "..."

Lan Junrong stopped Chong Baishu, who was about to scold her, and hurriedly said, "This subordinate resigns."

The two of them sneaked back to Chang'an after reuniting with Minglou and his party.Lan Junrong is busy collecting all kinds of information every day, Shenlong sees the beginning but does not see the end, and Bai Shu wanders around various brothels and casinos after changing clothes to inquire about news.After Bai Shu gave up drinking, she returned to her former self as a street hooligan. She used the pseudonym "Baicai" and became popular among the grassroots.

……

"Bai Ye, Bai Ye! It's not good!"

One day, Bai Shu was sitting in an alley, throwing dice with a gangster, and suddenly a younger brother ran over in a panic, but Bai Shu didn't even raise his head when he heard the words, "Why panic? Didn't you just lie on the ground if you didn't pay? "

"no……"

"Yo, it's quite horizontal..." Bai Zhu rolled the dice, rubbed her hand to the hem of her clothes, and put the toothpick prepared in advance in her mouth, "Go! Go and have a look!"

The man hurriedly stopped in front of Bai Shu, "No, Master Bai, this man is a practitioner..."

"What are you afraid of, Lianjiazi! I have also practiced Bai Ye!" Bai Shu waved his hand with a look of displeasure.

"That person is a Lianjiazi, we didn't want to mess with him at first! But that person insisted on taking Xiao Si to see a doctor, and his attitude was very good! He insisted on taking responsibility! This will take Xiao Si away!"

Bai Zhu pulled out the toothpick in his mouth, "This man must be sick!"

The man patted his thigh, "I've never seen anything like this before!"

Bai Shu pondered for a while, Xiao Si must not be taken away, otherwise he would lose his prestige here, and the previous efforts would be in vain.But that person is a quack, if he is recognized...

The man looked at Bai Shu's hesitant expression and thought he was cowardly, "Hey! Bai Cai! Xiao Si is your brother after all! You usually talk about hype, but you will be cowardly when something happens!"

Looking at her current attire, Bai Shu probably wouldn't be able to tell even if she met Chong Luo.So he raised his chin and widened his eyes, "How dare you talk! I want you to see what a real brother is! You're just bragging behind your back!"

Bai Shu was taken to the scene of the accident, and from a distance, he saw the fourth son lying on the ground in "excruciating pain", and beside him squatted an imposing young man, lowering his head and asking carefully, while the fourth son kept shaking his head.

Bai Shu strode over, and just when he was about to say, "A man who has hurt my master pretends to be a good man", a slightly indifferent voice came from the carriage behind the man in white, "Brother, give him some money."

Bai Shu froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Even though he was beaten to death, he didn't expect to meet Chong Luo here!

I saw the man in white speak with a serious expression, "After all, it's my fault, I feel sorry for giving some money."

The people in the carriage didn't say anything after hearing this.The man in white then moved his eyes to Bai Shu who was standing aside, "You are..."

Bai Shu was almost certain that the person in front of him was Shen Yi, the leader of the Golden Yuan League, because his face was so similar to that of Shen Qijun!Shen Yi is more intimidating than he imagined, he looks as handsome as Shen Qijun, but the awe-inspiring aura on his body makes people want to shy away from him, Bai Shu's legs are weak at a glance, and his power is comparable to that of his father.

Bai Shu's eyes widened, and suddenly he rolled his eyes and ran over to embrace Xiao Sizi who was lying on the ground, shaking his head frantically.

The fourth son was also frightened by this sudden scene, he was at a loss as he looked at Bai Shu who was jumping on him.

"White……"

A hoarse voice broke out from Baishu's mouth, and he winked at the fourth son. The fourth son understood, and immediately shouted, "Brother! Why are you here? Don't worry, I'm fine... Brother, don't be afraid, they all I'm not a bad person, I won't take me away!"

The man in white frowned, "Is he your brother?"

The fourth son nodded, "My brother's brain is not very good, I also want to see a doctor with you, but my brother..." Bai Shu hugged the fourth son tightly, and the fourth son gasped hard, "Look, Why don't you give me some money. No matter how hard I am, I won't leave my brother behind."

Shen Yi sighed, and murmured, "I also have a younger brother." With unknown emotions in his eyes, he took out silver taels from his arms and handed it to the fourth son, "In this case, I won't force it, I will give you the money and take care of it Your brother."

The fourth son's eyes lit up when he saw so much silver, "I really met a good man! Thank you so much! I will definitely take good care of my brother!"

"What are you doing?" Chong Luo didn't know when he got out of the carriage, "Qi Jun is fine, and you are not disabled."

"It's just some feelings... I'm also very envious of such a good brotherhood. Although Qi Jun is my own younger brother, the relationship between the two of us is not even as good as that of ordinary brothers." Shen Yi seemed to remember something, and stepped forward He patted Chong Luo on the shoulder, "I forgot. You want to open it too."

Chong Luo silently watched the picture of the fourth son hugging his "brother", wondering what he was thinking.Bai Shu's heart quickly rose to his throat, and he buried his face almost completely on Xiaosi's shoulders, the veins on his hands were exposed.

"I don't have a younger brother." The tone was extremely indifferent, but it made Bai Shu feel like he was struck by lightning.

……

Shen also bid farewell to the fourth son.

When the carriage was far away, the fourth son happily pushed Bai Shu on his body, "Master Bai, Master Bai! So much money! Oh my god, you are the only one who can come up with this idea, which not only drives away those people but also brings So much money. How many times will I be bumped if this is a scam of money one by one!"

Bai Shu slowly let go of the fourth son, and the fourth son looked at the bloodless Bai Shu, "Master Bai?"

Bai Shu's mind is full of Chong Luo's words just now.

"Master Bai?"

Bai Shuqiang cheered up and let out a smile, "Don't swallow the money alone, give it to the second child. I remembered that there is something else at home, so I'm leaving first..."

"Oh, Master Bai, aren't you an orphan?" The man stopped Bai Shu and looked at him suspiciously.

Bai Shu glanced at the fourth son, "I still can't have a good friend?"

"Oh..." Xiaosi immediately took out two ingots of silver from the purse knowingly, and gave Bai Shu a wink, "Where can I go without money?"

……

When Bai Shu returned to the rented yard, his "best friend" was sitting in the room, and he threw the two ingots of silver into Lan Junrong's arms.

Lan Junrong took the money and looked at Zhong Baishu, "You want to get rid of me with such a small amount of money?"

"Then what do you want?"

Lan Junrong squinted her eyes. Normally when Bai Shu came back, she looked like a hooligan who disliked everyone, but today she was like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, "What's wrong with Master Bai?"

Bai Shu wrapped his arms around Lan Junrong's neck and leaned his head on his shoulder, "I have met Chong Luo."

Lan Junrong's heart skipped a beat twice, trying to calm himself down, "Did he do anything to you?"

Bai Shu's eyes were red, "Lan Junrong, I have never understood why Chong Luo hates me so much. Why?"

"No matter what he looks like now, it's not your fault." Lan Junrong paused, "I found your sister-in-law."

"My sister-in-law?" Bai Zhu returned to normal in an instant, "Don't make things difficult for my sister-in-law, she is very kind to me."

Lan Junrong narrowed her eyes and said disdainfully, "My heart, I'm not you."

"Then my sister-in-law..."

Lan Junrong shook his head, "I don't know what Chong Luo did, your sister-in-law is very different from before."

"Then what does she know?"

Lan Junrong shook her head, "She refused to tell me, she just said that she wanted to ruin Chongluo's reputation."

Ruined...

In Bai Shu's impression, Qin Xin was optimistic and cheerful, and she didn't have the usual arrogance of ordinary young ladies.But from that sentence, Bai Shu could clearly hear countless resentments and hatreds. What happened to make a person so thorough?Bai Shu secretly felt horrified...

The author has something to say:

Ask for collection, comment, and irrigation.mwah.

Thank you for your irrigation, I am really encouraged.

Is 4000 words considered a long chapter? (ignore this shameless remark)

I'm a little tired today because of some three-dimensional things.

Seek comfort.
