The moment he saw the wanted poster, Zheng Ze's thoughts were not on this parchment scroll.
Since Yan Lingji fell into coma, Zheng Ze rarely let others see Yan Lingji's appearance, and the same was true for the merchant named Li Da.
It was obviously very secretive from beginning to end, why would he know?
correct!
When he stopped at a village on the way, he asked a peasant woman to clean Yan Lingji's body. Although he stood by her side, she was probably noticed when she got on and off the carriage.
None of this is important at the moment. Since Li Da knows that he is carrying a prisoner from the imperial court, what does the other party mean by sending this wanted order?
Thinking on the bright side, the other party thought that his identity was not simple after the conversation on the road, so he secretly entrusted the letter to show his goodwill.
But he doesn't like to rely on the outcome of things to develop in a good direction, and he doesn't like to put his expectations on others.
Not only Li Da, but also the peasant woman also saw Yan Lingji's true appearance.
Even if Li Da doesn't tell the truth, it will be a matter of time before Han Jun finds this place.
"No, we can't stay here any longer!"
He threw the scroll into the fire basin for heating, and then poured the candle into the basin. Listening to the chissing sound, Zheng Ze's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly thought of a place.
He had been on guard in the room. Although he was highly concentrated, he still gave Yan Lingji her medicine as usual until the night slowly enveloped Xinzheng.
Zheng Ze was carrying Yan Lingji on his back, and the woman behind him had soft black hair falling down, covering her cheeks, covering up her delicate face.
It was night, and a carriage drove out from the inn, heading towards an unknown dark corner.
In the north of the city, the lights on the street flickered on and off.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the crisp sound of horse hooves hitting the ground was regular but abrupt.
The evening breeze blew, and the street corner was quiet and deserted. The shadow of the carriage slowly merged into the darkness, shrouded and swallowed by the night.
"stop!"
On the originally deserted long street, several people suddenly appeared on the left and right, blocking Zheng Ze's path.
Since they are wearing black clothes, the night is their color.
Zheng Ze sat in front of the carriage, expressionless, and said calmly: "People from Qijuetang?"
Hearing this, the person who blocked the road did not answer, but said: "Aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts when traveling in the middle of the night?"
Zheng Ze smiled and said, "I'm worried because ghosts are afraid of meeting me."
"Oh, that's a big statement. It's forbidden to go ahead. Please take a detour!"
I don’t know if Zheng Ze’s tone frightened people, but the three people on the left and right in front of him didn’t seem to be friendly, but they didn’t make things too difficult for him.
"Forbidden travel? I want to go to a place where others cannot go." Zheng Ze said, "I want to see Tang Qi."
When the passerby heard the name, his eyes suddenly sharpened. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've heard someone called me old. I'm old and my ears don't work very well."
At this time, a figure holding an umbrella walked slowly from the front of the carriage from far to near. He had white hair and a pale face, but his figure was as tall and straight as a steep cliff reaching into the sky.
"I wonder what this friend wants from me?"
Zheng Ze's heart moved. He didn't expect to see this person like this, so he pursed his lips and stepped out of the carriage.
"I've taken the liberty to come here. I want to discuss a business deal with Master Qi."
"Business? Haha, interesting. Did my friend find the wrong person? I am not a businessman." Tang Qi held an umbrella and said with a smile.
But the awe shown by the people around him made him not look as kind as before.
Zheng Ze smiled without getting into trouble under the other party's aura, "In this world where interests are exchanged, even if you are not a businessman, who can guarantee that you won't make a deal occasionally?"
"Oh? That old man would like to hear the details."
Zheng Ze stretched out a finger and said, "Can we talk about destroying the Poisonous Scorpion Sect within a month?"
As soon as these words came out, both Tang Qi and the surrounding Qijuetang gang showed bewildered expressions.
After a while, Tang Qi's voice came slowly, "This business is not small. My friend, are you sure you can handle it?"
"It's my business whether to pick up the phone or not, and it's your business to talk about it, Master Qi." Zheng Ze ignored the other party's temptation. No matter what, he should stabilize the moment first. As long as Yan Lingji is awake, everything will come and go.
There are many choices.
"Then what does the old man need to pay?"
Hearing what he said, Zheng Ze breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hide someone for me."
Tang Qi's eyes narrowed, "Who is that person?"
"Han Tingqin is guilty." Zheng Ze said truthfully. The other party will find out these things later, and there is no need to hide them.
"Hey, this thing is not easy to handle!" The old man looked a little embarrassed.
Zheng Ze put his hand on the sill of the carriage, "Whether it can be done or not depends on whether Master Qi wants to do it or not!"
"Since you have said so, my friend, I can only do my best."
…
After leaving the post house and testing each other, Zheng Ze finally settled down on Qijuetang's territory.
Anyway, nothing will happen for a while.
He sent away the person responsible for helping from Qijuetang. He knew that the other person would not go far, but it didn't matter.
Yan Lingji sat down next to the bed where she lay, took a deep breath, and rubbed her brows.
Looking at the woman who slept peacefully from beginning to end, Zheng Ze couldn't help but said: "You feel comfortable. You saved me again. How do you repay me?"
"When you wake up and become more conscious, you can reluctantly consider offering yourself to me."
In a room where no one was talking, Zheng Ze entertained himself and said this.
It's just that he didn't notice that when he turned his head, the beauty on the bed moved her lips slightly, and looking at her cheeks, it was clear that she was gritting her teeth.
When there was absolutely no movement outside, Zheng Ze was ready to rest for now, and he could try to gain more trust from Tang Qi tomorrow.
But before he could lie down for long, he was awakened by a knock on the door, and the next moment the upright old man opened the door and walked in.
Zheng Ze stood up. He was sleeping in his clothes and had nothing to clean up. He just looked at Yan Lingji and covered her with the quilt more tightly.
Tang Qi came in and happened to see this scene, but the look on his face was not very good. Zheng Ze had a bad premonition when he saw this.
"Friend, you didn't tell me before that this prisoner is from Baiyue."
He looked at Yan Lingji lying on the bed and seemed to remember something from the past.
Zheng Ze's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood the purpose of Li Tang Qi's trip. He had participated in the conquest of Baiyue...
"She is just a defenseless and delicate woman, and being born in Baiyue is not something she can decide. Master Qi won't pay a late-night visit for this, right?"
As soon as the front-end things were settled, things started to get into trouble on the back-end. No matter how you put it, it doesn't sound good.
"Do you know how many Baiyue people I have killed on the battlefield of Baiyue, and now I still want to provide shelter to the Baiyue people?"
Zheng Ze had a headache. Logically speaking, Tang Qi shouldn't be so obsessed with Baiyue, unless he knew more...
For a moment, he was a little unsure of what the other party was thinking.
At this moment, a charming and indifferent voice sounded, "Oh? I really want to know how many Baiyue people you have killed."
