She is the legend of the rivers and lakes

Today, the inn is overcrowded for no other reason.

The eldest lady of the wealthy businessman from the capital finally showed up.

"As expected of the eldest lady in the capital, she looks beautiful!"

"Don't talk about this young lady, just this maid, she is a rare beauty in our city!"

"I don't know whether she is married or not. In our small county town, we don't know anyone who can match her."

"I don't know what this family thinks. I don't want to wait in the capital, but come to this small place that doesn't shit. Can I make money?"

After a while, the topic changed a few times. Mei Xianghan listened to all the guests' discussions without saying a word, and found that in the entire inn, there was only one person sitting in one place, and they were eating quietly all the time.

"See that one sitting alone?"

Sheng Liu looked in the direction of her line of sight, and saw a thin, slightly wretched-looking man in the corner looking at him while drinking wine.

"It's him?"

"Nine out of ten." After whispering, Mei Xianghan stood up, "Miss, it's time to go back to the room and rest."

Sheng Liu handed out her hand, and she stood up with support.

That night.

Midnight had passed, the entire inn and the entire county were quiet, only the occasional chirping of birds and insects could be heard.

A bamboo pipe protruded through the gap in the door, and a puff of white smoke came out.

Not long after, the door latch was picked open by a knife protruding from the gap.The door opened.

There is a bed curtain in front of the bed, and a person can be vaguely seen lying on the bed.Someone approached on tiptoe, but didn't notice that the open door behind him had been quietly closed.

Lifting the curtain of the bed, the person on the bed closed his eyes tightly, as if he was in a deep sleep.

The visitor greedily stared at the character's face, and laughed out loud, "Thanks to that stupid county magistrate, I don't have to give up such a stunning beauty."

As he said that, he reached out to touch the face of the person on the bed.

However, as soon as the hand was stretched halfway, it was clamped.The person on the bed opened his eyes in an instant, his eyes were clear, and there was no trace of falling asleep.

"This is impossible!" The visitor struggled in panic, but found that he couldn't break free at all, "You... who are you?!"

Mei Xianghan lit the candles in the room and saw the face of the person who came, and it was indeed the thin and small man in the corner of the hall during lunch.

"You... You!" Another person suddenly appeared behind him, and the person suddenly realized that he seemed to be in trouble.

He found the bamboo tube used to release mist from the man, and Mei Xianghan took it apart to look at the residue inside, then put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it: "Mi Lan, you are so generous."

"Who the hell are you!"

Without answering him, Mei Xianghan signaled Sheng Liu to take the rope hidden on the bed, tied him up and threw it aside, and found a stool to sit down by himself: "Tell me, how much do you know about Peony Sect."

"Wh... What Peony Sect, I don't know."

"Mi Lan, the Peony Sect's special drug, you, a nameless thief, where did you get it?"

"Stolen."

Mei Xianghan leaned back in the chair, raised her legs and said, "Your footsteps are flimsy, and you have so little internal energy. If you are like this, if a thief can steal a top-notch drug like Mi Lan, you can also use it as a low-level drug like picking flowers." business?"

When it was released from the smoke, Sheng Liu was a little concerned. She seemed to feel a little familiar with this drug.So when Mei Xianghan was interrogating the person, Sheng Liu passed the bamboo tube, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and then put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

Sure enough, she definitely smelled this smell somewhere!

The man blushed, "It fell into your hands today, I admit it, but I don't know anything about Lao Shizi's Peony Sect!"

"So loyal..." Mei Xianghan leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, you are just an outcast. This time, the Peony Sect sold you to us."

"impossible!"

"Okay, wait until dawn, come with me to the yamen."

Realizing that he was cheated out, the man wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself, but unfortunately his speed was far behind Mei Xianghan.

Quickly clicked the acupoints, Mei Xianghan walked to the side and washed his hands before returning: "Dirty bastard, you don't deserve to die so happily."

After waking up Sikong Li and another person to guard, Mei Xianghan took Sheng Liu to another guest room.

Not caring about getting rid of the cumbersome dresses on her body, Sheng Liu forced Mei Xianghan to the door as soon as she entered.

"Should I say 'I'm flattered'?" Mei Xianghan froze for a moment, then laughed so hard that she almost lost her eyesight, "This is the first time Miss Liuliu is so proactive."

"I have something to ask you." Sheng Liu ignored her teasing, "This drug is really taught by Peony?"

"Naturally, but is there something wrong?" Mei Xianghan blinked, "Fake Tong Yi also has this drug."

She frowned tightly, but Sheng Liu fell into silence.

She just thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered where she smelled it - in Lan Xin's room!Although it is mixed with other incense flavors, this flavor is unmistakable.

But why does Lan Xin have the special medicine of Peony Sect?

Seeing Sheng Liu walking away in deep thought, Mei Xianghan immediately followed behind: "Miss Liu Liu found something wrong?"

"Did you say that on the night you drank, you had other purposes when you approached me?"

"I thought you didn't remember."

Sheng Liu asked in a deep voice: "But is it related to... the Peony Sect?"

Mei Xianghan was silent.

Sheng Liu seemed to understand a little bit in his heart: "You have been suspicious of Wuyin Villa from the very beginning?"

"I'm sorry." Mei Xianghan said, thinking she was protecting the place where she grew up.

"why?"

Mei Xianghan thought for a while and decided to confess to her: "The royal family of the previous dynasty had a surname of Lan. This surname was originally not the surname of the Central Plains. The royal family of the previous dynasty was originally a clan outside the Guan. It has blossomed. Later, there was a civil strife in the Sheng Dynasty, and all the descendants of the Lan family were killed except for the direct line of the emperor..."

After finishing speaking, Mei Xianghan asked: "Miss Liu Liu knows what's inside?"

"I don't know," Sheng Liu's brows were still tightly knit together, "But, I've smelled this drug from Lan Xin before."

Sure enough?Mei Xianghan frowned unconsciously.

Sheng Liu said again: "What you suspect may be true."

She doesn't know what to do now.If the Wuyin Villa is really related to the former royal family and the Peony Sect, then many things that she doesn't understand can be explained, but——suddenly tell her that the place where she grew up, her master, and her past The owner I admired probably has something to do with that apostate...

Even though she had always been indifferent, she couldn't accept it without hindrance.

Hearing that her tone was a bit gloomy, Mei Xianghan wanted to persuade her, but she didn't want to lie to her when the words came to her lips.

From receiving the news of the appearance of peony believers in Shan County to the news of the appearance of the saint, Mei Xianghan is almost sure that Wuyin Villa has something to do with Peony Sect, and the information provided by Mei Xianghan tonight can already "almost" both A word was deleted.

So she asked, "If it's true, how would you choose?"

This question is cruel, but for the future, Mei Xianghan must ask.

"I do not know."

This answer is expected.Mei Xianghan looked at her and thought: If it were me, I wouldn't be able to choose her without hesitation—but if I wanted to stand on the opposite side, it would be difficult to do so.
