I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

That night, Wang Lianhua was driven back to his residence in the main courtyard.

Early the next morning, when Pei Xiang was having breakfast, Wang Lianhua brought people to repair the "wall".

The four light and fit women in black were quick in their hands and feet, and they cooperated with each other tacitly. They worked steadily and quickly, and soon hung three curtains of different thicknesses in the middle of the two rooms.

When Pei Xiang finished his sword practice and returned to the residence to wash, he found that not only the two rooms were separated again by layers of silk brocade, but also all the furniture and other daily items in the house were replaced, which were even more exquisite than the ones she had when she checked in. Much more elegant.

"Xiangxiang, isn't this 'wall' much prettier than the previous one? It's light, soft and easy to push away. Do you like it?"

"This is your house. Naturally, it should be built and decorated according to the owner's wishes. Just do what you think is good. By the way, Mr. Wang, is the guest house I borrowed before repaired?"

——If it’s all right, I’ll move out immediately.

Wang Lianhua pretended to be distressed and said: "Oh, I can't fix it for a while. Xiangxiang, my subordinates are a bit stupid, they procrastinate in doing things, and the progress is slow. There is no effect in urging them, and there is nothing I can do. "

Pei Xiang turned his head while holding the sword and hummed softly, not willing to listen to Wang Lianhua's nonsense anymore.

Seeing that Pei Xiang "acquiesced" to the existence of the "wall", Wang Lianhua quietly curled the corners of her mouth.

Pei Xiang turned around and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and talked about business.

"I'm going to visit Boss Ji in a while to discuss going to Lanzhou."

Wang Lianhua heard a few words from Pei Xiang before, and knew that Ji Bingyan was helping King Cheng investigate the case of Qu's extermination. This time, she came to Luoyang to find Pei Xiang, which was also related to King Cheng's advice, so she twisted it unhappily. He frowned and said:

"Prince Cheng's thoughts are impure. You are not the real daughter of the Qu family. Can you really help Ji Bingyan if you go to Lanzhou?"

Pei Xiang shook his head: "This trip to Lanzhou is not only to investigate the truth about the extermination of the Qu family and to find the orphan of the Qu family. Boss Ji has other important things to ask me for. However, I have promised him to keep the secret for the time being, so I didn't mention it to you."

"So that's how it is," Wang Lianhua was stunned, "I'll just say, Boss Ji is a shrewd person, why would he go all the way here just because of King Cheng's few words. Lanzhou..."

Wang Lianhua concentrated on recalling the recent news from Lanzhou, and for a while she couldn't figure out the real purpose of Ji Bingyan's coming to find Pei Xiang.

"Xiangxiang, no matter what Ji Bingyan wants you to do, the premise is that you are healthy. Otherwise, I don't worry about it."

Pei Xiang nodded, Yan Ran said:

"I know the priorities, and I won't take my own safety as a joke. When I go to visit Ji Bingyan later, I will ask him about the time. If he is not particularly anxious, I will heal my injuries before leaving Luoyang."

"What if he is in a hurry?"

"No matter how anxious you are, you still have to leave time for me to travel, right? It will take several days to travel from Luoyang to Lanzhou. I travel normally, and if I don't hurry, the time spent on the journey is enough for me to heal my injury. "

Wang Lianhua murmured: "Looking at Ji Bingyan's itinerary, I think there is no urgent matter to come to Lanzhou. You really don't have to rush day and night so earnestly. What's more, Boss Ji might bring Bai Feifei back to Lanzhou to take care of him. With that Then a weak woman who does not know martial arts on the surface can walk with her, and his walking speed will not be fast at all."

Pei Xiang smiled slightly: "Are you sure Miss Bai will leave Luoyang with Boss Ji?"

Wang Lianhua sighed, this time she didn't boast about herself, instead she seriously thought about what she had worth Bai Feifei's calculations.

Unexpectedly, when these two people were discussing Bai Feifei and Ji Bingyan, some attendants came in to report to Wang Lianhua, saying that it was Ji Bingyan who had visited.

Pei Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and Wang Lianhua exchanged a glance, and the two quickly got up and went out together.

In the square hall where the guests were received, Ji Bingyan expressed her intention to come just as she sat down, with a dignified expression.

"Boss Ji, you mean...Miss Bai Feifei disappeared yesterday?" Pei Xiang asked in surprise.

Ji Bingyan nodded thoughtfully:

"After leaving Ouyang Mansion the night before yesterday, I ordered someone to take good care of Miss Bai's daily life. In the early morning yesterday, Miss Bai said that she wanted to visit the famous Luoyang Flower Market. Instead, they arranged for a few subordinates to protect her. Unexpectedly, something happened just after a trip to the flower market."

"When did Boss Ji find out that Miss Bai was missing? Have all the people who protected her come back?"

Hearing Pei Xiang mention this, Ji Bingyan's eyes flashed with coldness and sadness.

"At noon yesterday, Miss Bai hadn't returned, and there was no news from the subordinates I sent out. I realized that something had happened, and sent someone to look for Miss Bai. After that, I contacted Brother Ouyang and asked him to help find someone. However, we have not found any traces of Miss Bai and others. This morning, a ranger in Luoyang City discovered the bodies of my subordinates."

"How did they die? Is there anything special about the scene?" Wang Lianhua asked.

Ji Bingyan said in a deep voice: "Preliminary inspection, all of them were wiped on their necks after being incapacitated by some kind of drug. They... had no ability to resist before they died. Other than that, no obvious suspicious things were found. place."

"Because of the drug..." Pei Xiang frowned and pondered, and said in his heart, "If the drug is used to kill people, there is a high probability that the person who kidnapped Bai Feifei would not be Shi Guanyin himself. Because with that person's martial arts and character, almost Such a roundabout approach will be used."

Here, Ji Bingyan continued to analyze:

"It's not that Ji is arrogant and arrogant. The guards I sent to protect Miss Bai are all my confidantes who have been with me for many years. They have accompanied me through all kinds of twists and turns. They are all veterans. Therefore, ordinary drugs There is no cure for them.”

Pei Xiang nodded slightly, and asked again: "Boss Ji, where did the ranger find the body?"

"It's in a breakfast shop near the flower market, Zhao Ji Steamed Bun Shop."

Wang Lianhua let out an "ah" and said, "I know it's an old shop. The owner is a native of Luoyang and doesn't know martial arts."

Ji Bingyan sighed, and then explained the situation:

"The ranger has always loved the steamed buns from Zhao's breakfast shop, and he also knows that the owner is hardworking, and has opened a shop to sell breakfast every day, rain or shine. So, this morning when he found out that the boss was late for business, he was quite surprised. .

"According to You Xia'er, he knocked on the door and saw that there was no answer. He felt uneasy, so he pried open the window and looked inside, and he saw corpses all over the ground. Among those... those who unfortunately encountered unexpected disasters, except me In addition to several subordinates, there is also an old couple who runs a breakfast shop."

Hearing this, Wang Lianhua waved to the entourage who was silently standing in the corner, and ordered softly:

"Did you understand Master Ji's words? Go, pass on my order, let our people cooperate with Master Ji's subordinates and the servants of Ouyang's mansion, and try our best to find Miss Bai Feifei Bai. At the same time, you personally take people to ask My storekeepers near the flower market, has anyone seen Miss Bai or found any suspicious people? Anyone who provides useful information will be rewarded with double rewards."

"This subordinate takes orders." The subordinate in black left quickly.

Ji Bingyan simply thanked Wang Lianhua and did not say extra polite words, but all three people present knew that Boss Ji had remembered this favor.

Ji Bingyan came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

The next day, Pei Xiang saw Ji Bingyan again at Ouyang Xi's home.

Pei Xiang read carefully the few words and phrases that Ji Bingyan and others had asked, and read that a resident in Luoyang City claimed that when his child was squatting in front of a steamed stuffed bun shop and drooling over steamed stuffed buns, he saw a woman in Tsing Yi with an extremely ugly The woman appeared near the Zhaoji steamed stuffed bun shop, and she couldn't help but feel moved.

She thought to herself, maybe, even though Bai Feifei was separated from that Jia Bopi, she still accidentally ran into the happy king, the seductress Jiangzuo Situ, as in the original plot, and was forcibly disguised as an ugly woman by the other party.

In the original book, Situ, the envoy of sex, travels all year round in various counties and counties, collecting beautiful beauties for the happy king to enjoy.

Whenever Situ took a fancy to a target, he would use the superb disguise technique to change the shape of the beautiful woman, and then send the person to the desert.And because his disguise technique is so exquisite, even if the family members of the beautiful woman pass by, they still can't recognize the ugly woman with anxious and sad eyes as his own relatives, so Situ rarely misses in recent years.

And the appearance of Situ himself is ever-changing, from male to female, from old to young, once hidden among the common people in the market, it is hard to find.

"Well," Pei Xiang lied slowly, pointing to the paper with the description of the woman in Tsing Yi, "I saw a woman in Tsing Yi near Kaifeng before, and she was also accompanied by an unattractive and sick person. Miss. I chatted with her by chance, and she said that she would take her sick niece back to her hometown in Jiangnan. So, why did she appear in Luoyang City again now? Of course, this may also be because I am suspicious."

Pei Xiang pointed out doubts, which immediately attracted the attention of Ji Bingyan and others, and they immediately ordered the people below to look for the woman in Tsing Yi and the people around her.

Of course, in addition to this, the search in other areas has not been relaxed.

Before parting that day, Pei Xiang and Ji Bingyan mentioned the trip to Lanzhou.

Ji Bingyan said: "Miss Pei, you don't need to rush around. Over there...we still have to invite a few seniors who live in seclusion to come out of the mountain. I don't know how many of them can be invited, so they won't take any action in a short time."

Pei Xiang understood that Yuan Suiyun was not a rash and reckless person. If he planned to eradicate Shi Guanyin's power, he must invite real powerful people in the name of Wuzheng Villa, so that he would be safe.

——Besides, with Yuan Suiyun's austerity and prudence, he might not necessarily take people to the desert to fight Shi Guanyin in person. He might have other plans.

With a slight turn of her thoughts, Pei Xiang had some guesses in her heart, but she quickly suppressed them and ignored them for the time being.

In the next few days, Pei Xiang recuperated at Wang Lianhua's residence and transformed Beiming's true energy.While increasing her strength, she also took many precious medicinal materials and poisons from Wang Lianhua on credit, and devoted herself to making various poisons with immediate results every day.

——In order to prevent Shi Guanyin from killing the carbine.

Ji Bingyan did not leave Luoyang according to the previous itinerary because she wanted to find the missing Bai Feifei.

And Wang Lianhua also started to be inseparable from Pei Xiang, and even if he went out occasionally, he would pester Pei Xiang to travel together.Although Wang Lianhua has been uttering unscrupulous love words every now and then, and pondering how to kiss, hug and hold her high, Pei Xiang still noticed his not-so-closely hidden thoughts.

This person probably got some hint from Wang Yunmeng, knowing that Shi Guanyin would not trouble Wang Yunmeng's son during his stay in Luoyang, but if given the chance, Shi Guanyin would be very happy to eradicate Pei Xiang.

The reason why she didn't do it all the time was probably because she was afraid of Pei Xiang's swordsmanship and Beiming magic skills on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was because Wang Lianhua stayed with Pei Xiang all the time.

Before dawn, Pei Xiang was sleeping when she suddenly felt someone gently pinching her cheeks and nose. Afterwards, Wang Lianhua's low laughter sounded in her ears, with a few words "little pig" or "little pig" occasionally. Red fluttering" whispered.

She clasped the chaotic claws on her face, thinking in a daze and annoyedly, this guy really dared to "sneak attack" across the curtain in the middle of the night, did he want to be beaten again?

"Xiangxiang, are you still sleeping? I'm going out. Do you wake up and walk with me, or let me wrap you up in a quilt and carry you out?"

At this time, Pei Xiang was gradually awakened by the noise, she shrank back into the quilt with her eyes closed, and after a while, she sat up sleepily and asked slowly:

"Do you have to go out now?"

"Well, someone from Ouyang Xi's mansion came to look for me, saying that an old friend of mine, Panda, was visiting there and wanted me to help. If I'm slow, Panda will definitely come to me in person. That man's martial arts That's right, my subordinates can't stop him. When he gets into trouble, the two of us still won't be able to rest, and we'll be stuck in bed by him."

When Pei Xiang heard the name "Panda", she woke up completely. She pushed Wang Lianhua who was sitting on the side of the bed without moving, and signaled to someone not to look evil, and she wanted to get up and change clothes.

Wang Lianhua was obedient, he quickly pinched the tip of her nose while Pei Xiang let go, then got up and backed away, and lighted the lights in the house.

Ouyang Mansion, in the brightly lit hall.

Panda's ears moved slightly, and immediately heard the voice of old friend Wang Lianhua from the courtyard.

Wang Lianhua seemed to be joking with someone, her voice was very gentle, and Xiong Shaoxia, who was always rough and generous, shuddered slightly.Panda rubbed his upper arm very uncomfortable, and then jumped out curiously.

When Panda stood still under the eaves, he happened to see a handsome young man in fox fur costumes and a stunning beauty coming side by side.Behind the two are winding lights reflecting the white snow. When the two looked up at the panda, their eyes were clear and energetic.

Such a pair of Bi people, like a couple of gods and immortals, made Panda stunned for a while.

It wasn't until Wang Lianhua and Pei Xiang approached that Panda shook his head violently, staring at Wang Lianhua in amazement with a pair of cat-like round eyes, and glanced at Pei Xiang from time to time.

"Wang Lianhua, I haven't seen you for a long time. Seeing your smile, are you happy?"

Pei Xiang burst out laughing, and everyone in the room also burst into laughter.

Wang Lianhua said helplessly: "How much wine did the cat drink secretly? He even started talking nonsense. I am a dignified man, how can I be happy?"

Panda was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his previous sentence was ambiguous, so he smiled and waved:

"A slip of the tongue, it's a happy event, a happy event! Wang Lianhua, I see that you are no longer the little rascal you used to be. Could it be that something good has happened and you've calmed down from now on?"

Wang Lianhua knew exactly what the panda was asking.But he is also strange, when he was in the mansion before, he tried every means to get Pei Xiang to admit that there was love between the two, but now he was asked implicitly by his friend face to face, but he didn't want to say anything more.

He said with a smile: "Is there ever a time when my son had the look of a little rascal? It can be seen that there is a wild cat who is drunk and talking nonsense. Come on, Xiong Shaoxia, sober up, let my younger brother introduce you, this is Miss Pei, from our house You are a distinguished guest on board. You can be polite and don't make Miss Pei laugh."

Panda's roughness and subtlety, seeing Wang Lianhua's response, he knew that the two people were not the kind of close relationship he thought, at least, it was not time to make it public.

He thought to himself with a smile, he never thought that Wang Lianhua would have such a well-behaved man one day, it can be seen that men in this world will always meet a very special girl, just like that day...

Thinking of Zhu Qiqi who made his heart miss him, Panda'er was depressed, but his face seemed to be calm, he still smiled brightly, first bowed to Pei Xiang to say hello, and then talked about fine wine with Wang Lianhua who hadn't seen him for a long time Good food to come.

The three entered the hall, Wang Lianhua looked up and saw Shen Lang and Jin Wuwang.The faces of these two people are unfamiliar, but just looking at their extraordinary demeanor, one can tell that they are definitely not vulgar people.

Wang Lianhua stopped joking with Panda, and wanted to ask Ouyang Xi to introduce him to two new friends.

However, before Wang Lianhua could open her mouth, she saw Pei Xiang happily walking up to the smiling handsome young man, and said briskly:

"Shen Lang, we meet again, how are you doing recently?"

Wang Lianhua thought, my mother was right, men who smile too much are mostly vulgar and greasy.
