Chapter 187 Remember to pay me
There was a knock on the door, but Granny Yan was not in a hurry to open the door. She first winked at the three siblings beside the bed, and after seeing the three of them ducking into a secret space under the bed, she went to open the door with a cold face.
She opened the door a small crack and glanced at the guard at the door with cold eyes. When she saw the man behind the guard stepping forward, she turned back slightly.
"I wonder what the clan leader is doing when he comes here late at night?"
Using the light of the torch, Ha Minglai squinted his eyes and looked at the skinny old priest in front of him. After a while, he said: "There have been bad guys in the clan recently. I am worried about Yan Po's safety, so I came here to take a look."
"I didn't see the bad guy."
Hearing this, Ha Minglai did not leave, and said with a smile: "Po Yan has worked hard for the clan. As the clan leader, I have to go in and take a look before I feel relieved."
The coldness on Yan Po's face went down again, and she seemed to be very impressed by He Minglai's compliment. She opened the door a little, and saw the guards holding torches about to enter, and reminded: "I am getting rid of evil spirits in the clan these days. Ordinary people will easily die due to the collision of evil spirits, but the clan leader can go in for half a stick of incense, but it may damage his lifespan."
Before she finished speaking, the guards all took a dozen steps back, and even Ha Minglai was stunned.
Yan Po opened the door further and said to Ha Minglai, "Come in quickly."
Ha Minglai hesitated for a moment, then took the torch from the guard and entered Yan Po's house. He searched for two whole days but could not find any trace of Halina. Everyone related to Halina had already checked out Yan Po's house. Although Po is not related to Halina, I have to find her before I can rest assured.
But he was shocked by Yan Po's words first. As soon as he entered the house, he saw the bones piled up on the table and under the bed. He was so flustered that he didn't care to look further. He just took a quick look at the situation in the house and left the house.
Yan Po watched them leave, but did not rush to call the three siblings out. She only took out a skull and wiped it carefully with a cloth. Sure enough, Ha Minglai left and came back again. He suddenly opened the door and raised his hand. I entered the house with a torch and saw that Yan Po was still the only one in the house, so I picked up the jade pendant that fell by the bed and left as if nothing had happened.
"It's an old trick." Yan Po snorted and called the three siblings out.
She threw the furs on the table and threw a bag of fruit to them. "Go back and talk to your master. I took a big risk. Remember to pay me."
Although Yan Po is the priest of the Shanniu tribe, the priests of the Shanniu tribe have been in power for a hundred years. Apart from ordinary divination and coronation of the tribe leader, they cannot interfere in the affairs of the tribe. If they are harboring the three sisters of Halina today, If something is discovered, she will also suffer the consequences.
"Thank you Yan Po, I will tell the master." Halina distributed the fruit to her two brothers and wrapped them in furs. Although spring had not yet begun, it was not cold in Lanzhou, so it was enough to spend the night.
Yan Po nodded, blew out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed to sleep.
The reason why she took in these three hot potatoes was all for Wen Yunxi's sake. Even if she couldn't earn her grandniece an opportunity to study medicine, it still left a way for her. If she encountered danger in the future, Wen Yunxi would Yun Xi will definitely help.
Wen Yunxi, who was being talked about by Yan Po, was sitting on the roof drinking wine with Su Qiao admiring the moon.
"Are you sure you hid it from Xuan Lin and the others?"
Su Qiao wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth. After spending a long time with them, he also began to drink and eat meat, and his movements became more and more bold.
Wen Yunxi grabbed the wine jar and took a sip before slowly saying, "I don't know either."
She didn't expect that Xuan Lin would come to see the apprentice selection examination, and she was too hasty in preparation. Although the two arrows Qin Yu shot were bluffing, they were not without flaws if they thought about it carefully.
"It's best to deceive him, otherwise he will definitely want to go to the Shanniu tribe when he finds out that Zhuo Yun is not here. Four thousand troops can deal with the Yanye tribe, but if we add the two tribes from the northwest, it will be troublesome." They are both from the north. Although the barbarian tribes in the northwest are not as good as the four tribes in the middle, they are still much more fierce than the Yanye tribe, and the casualties may be high.
"What? Are you worried about Ayun?"
Wen Yunxi looked at Su Qiao with a smile, his eyes filled with austerity. The relationship between the two had warmed up in the past few days, and she couldn't help but joke about Su Qiao.
Su Qiao suddenly turned away and said displeased: "What time is it? Can you be more serious?"
Even so, his ears felt faintly hot.
Wen Yunxi had good eyesight and could spot clues even in the dark. But she knew that Su Qiao would fall out if she continued talking, so she changed the subject and said, "Don't worry, Ayun is smart."
However, if it can be resolved peacefully, that would of course be the best. She has no grievances with Xuan Lin, and those tribes are not heinous people, and there is no need to harm people's lives just because of the Shanniu tribe.
Su Qiao looked at the sky and saw that the moon was already in the sky, so he raised his head and drank all the fruit wine in the wine jar, wiping his lips boldly: "It's useless for us to think too much here, it's getting late, I want to rest. "
He hung the wine jar in his hand on his belt and carefully climbed down the bamboo ladder next to him. He was not the two monsters Wen Yunxi and Zhu Yun. If he jumped directly, he would definitely break his leg.
Before he climbed to the bottom, he heard a chuckle coming from above his head. As a gust of wind passed by, the laughter was close to him. Su Qiao didn't need to look back to know that Wen Yunxi had already landed on the ground before him. He was not in a hurry. Continue slowly down the bamboo ladder.
Wen Yunxi has not left. She now has many followers, but also many enemies. The Sang family alone has to be more careful. Who knows that one day they will directly break up and arrest the people around her to threaten her.
Her apprentices are all very skilled in martial arts, and it would take a lot of effort to abduct them. As for Zhuo Yun, no one wants to provoke her, so only Su Qiao is left. Usually when Zhuo Yun is around, Zhuo Yun protects her. Well, now that Zhuo Yun has left Pingxiba, this matter has fallen on her, Wen Yunxi.
Su Qiao got off the ground safely and glanced at Wen Yunxi who was looking at him with his arms folded. Without saying anything, he went directly into the room and closed the door, leaving Wen Yunxi to find a corner to nest by himself.
It's not that he treats Wen Yunxi harshly, it's just that there are differences between men and women after all, so Wen Yunxi can't be allowed to sleep in his room. If he lets Wen Yunxi sleep in his room, that's putting the cart before the horse and not having much protective effect at all.
In fact, Su Qiao felt that those who would not attack him rashly, and he did not have any military value, but it was not cost-effective to anger Wen Yunxi. Unless he was absolutely sure that Wen Yunxi's revenge could be blocked, only a fool would impulsively attack him. .
The night Zhuo Yun left, when he found out that Wen Yunxi wanted to help him keep watch, he tried to persuade Wen Yunxi to do so, but Wen Yunxi blocked him because he had promised Zhuo Yun, so he could only let her do this.
When he saw Wen Yunxi with two dark circles under his eyes the next day, Su Qiao still felt guilty, but the guilt didn't last long before Wen Yunxi got angry.
Now he has to take care of all the affairs of Pingxiba every day, write articles and draw pictures to prepare Qingzhu Weekly, and spend time discussing information with Wen Yunxi. However, the profiteer actually asked him to write a storybook, which was simply too much.
Especially after Lin Wanwan told him that the dark circles under his eyes were fake, he was so angry that he wanted to curse. If he hadn't been so well-behaved, he would have cursed.
He deserves it, Wen Yunxi deserves it!
