C38 (2/2)

The cold wind blew into the wooden house again, and the candles swayed in the cold wind. The man in black, wearing an eagle mask, was kneeling on the ground, looking solemn and dignified in front of the black robed man in the master's seat.

”Mm …” Do you know what happened to them? ”

The man's deep and hoarse voice seemed to hide an invisible pressure that shot towards the black clothed man, pressing him so that he did not even dare to breathe. He could only lower his head and continue reporting the situation.

”Reporting to my lord, they seem to be looking for a woman. She was born during the Lunar New Year, and is exactly fifteen years old this year. But he didn't know why he was looking for a girl. Wherever they passed by, they would capture all the girls that were born in the Yin year. As for where they are currently being held, we have yet to find out. ”

Hearing this, the black-clothed man constantly tapped the edge of the chair with his right hand. He suddenly raised his head and wore the arrogant mask of an eagle. Under the light of the lanterns, it added a mysterious tint to his face, which matched perfectly with his flawless lower jaw.

When he looked, he was shocked to see that it was the person that Bai Zhixi met at Wu Ji's Blacksmith Shop. However, the aura of an expert that he was emitting was more than ten times stronger than that day.

”Mm …” Leng Ming, bring some people with you and keep an eye on them. If they harm innocent people again, kill them without leaving a trace. Also, get Leng Feng and his brothers to give me a blow to their spirits. They even dare to touch my people, so they don't want to live anymore. I want to see what they can do to find that girl. ”

Beneath the mask of the black clothed man, his gaze was distant and his words emotionless.

The man in black stood up as soon as he received the order. Then, he disappeared.

The surroundings became silent. Aside from the cold wind blowing, there was not a single sound.

After a long while, the black-clothed man took off his crazy mask, extinguished the burning candle with a single palm, and left the wooden house with the aid of the silver-white snow. Standing on the mountaintop, looking at the brightly lit capital below, the corners of his mouth hooked up into an evil smile, and he flew down, disappearing within the silver-white snow mountain.

In the blink of an eye, another day had passed. There were still two days until her grandfather's request for her to go to the clan's Duke's Palace to learn from Jun Mohan. Grandfather told her to prepare paper, ink, and ink, not to use anyone else's ink, making it seem that her Prime Minister's Estate was very poor and embarrassing. After that, she got the housekeeper to pass her a hundred taels of silver, which was for the purpose of buying ink and pens, as well as the living expenses of the Royal Family. When she took the heavy silver, she felt quite happy in her heart.

However, when she thought about how the silver would be other people's money in a few days, her heart ached. Jun Mohan was so unfaithful to her that she had to pay the tuition and living expenses. This infuriated her to death.

”Miss, what's the matter? Who dares to provoke you? ”

Lan Yi was about to prepare the clothes that she would wear at her clan's Duke Palace, but he realized that other than the purple clothes that the young miss was wearing, there was nothing else that could be worn. Thinking about old general's orders, he decided to take Yue Yang out to make some clothes. Unexpectedly, the moment he stepped out of the door, he saw Yue Bing sitting under the Plum Blossom Tree in the courtyard with her face puffed up, as if someone owed her money.

”Hey, Lan Yi, when I think about the fact that the silver is in the next few days from now to become that big rogue, I am not willing to give up. It hurts here. ”

Bai Zhixi carried the silver and pointed it at his heart, revealing a pained expression and laughing at Lan Yi.

Miss, you are so greedy!

”Miss, money is just worldly possessions, don't mind it too much, there is no way for us to earn it. Don't be angry and hurt your body. Without a good body, what's the use of having so much money! Look at Prince Mo, although the world knows that he is the richest man in the entire capital, his health is not good, and the imperial doctors say so straightforwardly that he won't live past twenty years old, so what use does he have if he can't take away his money? ”

Lan Yi looked at his young miss and shook his head with a bitter smile. Her family used to be rich in the area because her father had a quarrel with others, so she didn't want to be murdered by her enemies. She took away her family's money and killed her parents.

If not for her mother's desperate protection that day, and if she had not met his savior, she would have long passed away from this world.

Therefore, she didn't care about how much money she had. She only cared about the lives of the people she cared about. That was the best.

”Lan Yi, you don't understand. It was important to have good health, but not to have money. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. What business do you have with me? ”

Bai Zhixi looked at Lan Yi and his expression suddenly turned ugly. This little girl had always been lively and cheerful, what happened to her now?

Could it be that her careless words caused her to feel sad? After all, everyone had a story, didn't they?

”Little Sister Lan Yi, what's wrong?”

Seeing that she did not answer, Bai Zhixi waved his hands in front of her eyes and pulled her thoughts back.

”Miss, this servant only thought of my dead parents and felt a little sad. However, there was nothing left to do now. Oh, that's right, today when I prepared clothes for you, I realised that your clothes were all the clothes that the young misses did not wear in the past, First Madam threw all of them here. The servant thought, now that Miss has returned to normal, I won't be able to wear these clothes. Why don't we go to the market and make some?

”

Lan Yi returned to his usual lively and lively self as he happily pulled Bai Zhixi's hand. Her eyes were filled with laughter. As long as she was working for the young mistress, she would be happy.
