Chapter 231 Crossing the Warehouse
It was already night. Although Xiangyang City is prosperous and lively, except for those flowers, streets, alleys and willows, other places are not as lively as Chang'an's singing and dancing in the middle of the night.
Qin Mubai led the horse in the alley with a moist atmosphere, and the horse's hoof stepped on the slate with a crisp sound. The flower lady followed him a step or two away, and her footsteps were light and silent, looking left and right.
Along the way, Qin Mubai only thought about his own affairs. He regarded the woman who came to monitor as air and never talked to her. After being bored for a long time, the flower lady couldn't help feeling a little depressed and snorted, "Where's your little beauty?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Qin Mubai said casually.
"Don't be so cold and hard!" The flower lady snorted, twisted the water snake's waist and followed him, and whispered beside him, "Are you really agreeing to cooperate with them?"
"They?" Qin Mubai snorted softly, "Isn't it 'you'?"
"It's really a sight to see you when you say that." The flower lady curled her lips and said, "Actually, I feel that I am closer to you."
"Ghost!"
"I really don't lie to you!" The flower lady looked around and said cautiously, "They don't trust me at all and only regard me as a tool. In addition to asking me to help them use poison to take people, it is to toss around. Although the reward is good, it's polite to me, but I always feel that it's dangerous to be with them.
"Do you have times when you are afraid?" Qin Mubai couldn't help sneering.
"Of course." The flower lady affirmed, "Who is not afraid of death? No matter how hard your mouth is, you are afraid of death in your heart. Does anyone think you will live a long life? The more you are, the more you are afraid of death. Because he must have married many enemies, and even killed many people, he should always beware of others avenging him. The little beauty in your family has a smarter nose than a dog and brighter eyes than an eagle. She is a master. If you don't believe it, you can ask her. She must be very afraid of death.
"You talk a lot of nonsense." Qin Mubai said casually, "What on earth are you trying to say?"
"Let's find a secluded place to talk about it!" The flower lady seemed to be a little anxious and nervous. Qin Mubai muttered in his heart, I was afraid that you would play tricks with me?
"Go to the small building!"
The two rode the same flying horse and quickly arrived in the small building. When riding on the horse, the flower lady hugged Qin Mubai from behind. Taking advantage of the bumps of the horse, she kept rubbing Qin Mubai's back with her plump pair of crisp breasts, and then almost moaned.
Qin Mubai is used to her behavior. She just doesn't know, and she is too lazy to care about her knowledge.
As soon as she got off the horse, the flower lady was shocked and said, "Huh, there is no one in the room? Where's your little beauty? Did you go to bed so early?
"She went back to her mother's house." Qin Mubai said casually. He pushed the door open, took out the fire and lit the lamp. He sat down and said seriously, "If you are afraid that there are ears in the wall, you can go around and explore by yourself. It seems that these are all your skills.
The flower lady did it seriously. She carefully checked inside and outside the house for a while, and sprinkled a circle of powder in the roof and fence grass. Then she clapped her hands and sighed at ease: "In this way, there must be no ears in the wall."
Qin Mubai didn't bother to ask her what she had done. He went straight in and said, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to make a deal with you!" The flower lady is also concise.
"say."
"Let me talk about my requirements first." The flower lady also took a rare serious time and said, "Maybe I saw your little beauty, and I was envious. I don't want to wander around the world anymore. I want to wash my hands and live a peaceful life. But you can imagine that it is easy to enter the world, but difficult to leave the world. Over the years, I have many enemies. No matter how I hide, they will always find me for revenge. Therefore, this world is not what I said to retreat. Unless I can find the most reliable tree to help me cover the wind and rain. For Jianghu people, the best tree is either an official or a soldier.
"What do you want?" Qin Mubai sneered, "Do you still want to follow Chen Yan and stay with me?"
"I know you won't agree." The flower lady pouted, her face was full of shrewdness, and said in no hurry, "I know, you easily set up a hundred-rider military registration file for Chen Yan. That silly girl still likes it or not. I'm not greedy. I don't expect to be a royal leader. I just want to be a fire-headed army officer in Xiangzhou Military Mansion. The official position is not high, but the team is upright. Isn't it difficult?"
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "What do you think of the military palace of the Tang Dynasty? Anyone can come in and be an officer?" The official of the team is not big, but he is also a dignified eight-grade officer with a salary. The self-contained system in the army is not detained by the government. The eight-grade team of a military government is not worse than the county lieutenant in the county government, and it is more powerful in his hands. Your appetite is really not small, and you are quite whimsical!"
"Well, don't talk so bad, okay?" The flower lady showed a sly face and said a little anxiously, "Isn't it up to you to say in Xiangzhou Military Mansion? Just give me a title. I don't even want your Rumi. It's just that I have to hide in the barracks for a few years. When I find a good man to rely on, I will quietly marry him. At that time, I don't think anyone will know me."
"Impossible." Qin Mubai refused without hesitation, "There can't be a woman in the barracks. Even if it is Chen Yan's military registration file, it is just a false article. She will never go to the imperial city to take office. Besides, Baiqi is a special army. He often contacts the royal family members when he is in office within the ban. Even if he recruits a few female generals and soldiers, it can barely make sense. The local military government is full of big men, and it is impossible to allow women to appear.
The flower lady frowned and said anxiously, "What should I do? In a word, you can find a way to help me quit the world, find a way to protect me, and make my enemies look away from embarrass me. After a few years, I will naturally withdraw from the world and be able to get better. General Qin, you are the parents and officials of the people. It is more meritorious than collecting evil and evil, isn't it? I admit that I have done a lot of bad things before, but the real treachery and evil things are really something I haven't done. At most, I just played with some stinky men, and they are willing to take the initiative to send them to the door. Now I want to be good. At least give me a chance!"
Qin Mubai stared straight at the flower lady, staring at her a little scared. After thinking silently for a long time, Qin Mubai nodded: "Seeing that you are still a little sincere, I can find a way to help you. However, if you have committed any serious crime of killing your head before, the government will come to you to track down and take you, and you won't do my business.
"Oc, okay." The flower lady nodded in surprise, "Just tell me, how are you going to settle me?"
"Wu Wangfu." Qin Mubai spit out these three words.
"This...!" The flower lady was stunned, and then looked embarrassed, "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!" Li Ke is a prince. He is arrogant and unattainable. How can he accept me as a evil girl? Besides... He must know my reputation. How can he not get tired of even if you hate me? Besides, didn't you turn against him a few days ago?"
"I know Li Ke's character. He is arrogant, but he also wants to be a virtuous person with a clear understanding of kindness and resentment." Qin Mubai said, "You used to be very unbearable, but if you can really change your horse on the cliff, you have to be a new person. With your kung fu and ability, Li Ke can also accept that you stay in the royal palace and give you a place. I fell out with him because of business, and I didn't conspire with him. But for the person I recommend, he will also consider accepting it in detail. These are not problems. If I say yes, I will definitely do it. But...how can I help you?"
"Hum, I dare to mention these conditions, of course, because I have the goods in my hand!" The flower lady smiled mysteriously, "I know what you want to do most now."
"Typ about it."
"It's nothing more than to find out who Song Caozhu is. Of course, the most important thing is to save the hostages, isn't it?"
"You guessed it right." Qin Mubai said quietly, "Then what can you do?"
The flower lady smiled and said, "I lied to you before."
"What do you mean?"
"About the hostages." Lady Hua said, "That night, it was me who held Pang Fei, and it was also me who imprisoned and imprisoned him. If you work in our industry, you have to hold something in your hand at any time, either to save your life or to sit on the ground and set prices. It must be easy for you to understand.
Qin Mubai suddenly realized: "So, you don't even know where Pang Fei is detained?"
"Not bad!" The flower lady grinned at the corners of her mouth and smiled a little evil and proudly. "Although I am a nobody in the world, I also have my own principles. Before the cooperation, I made it clear to them that I was in charge of the people I took, and I didn't use the water ghosts as errands. If not, how can I make a good price? At first, I thought so. The person they asked me to help with must be valuable. When I knew Pang Fei's identity, I thought that this man was worth some money. Now it seems that the price given to me by the water ghosts is far less than the value you give. So, I decided to make a deal with you."
"You are shrewd." Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "But aren't you afraid of offending the water ghost if you do this?"
"Oh, do you think I'm really stupid?" The flower lady said, "No matter how I do this, I don't have to be afraid of them."
"What do you say?"
"Think about it, if you join them from now on, with your status, ability and ability, they dare to neglect you? You asked me to tell them before that you have been seduced by my beauty. In this way, I am your woman. To put it badly, beating the dog is still bullying the master. Do they dare to embarrass the woman of General Qin? It's like they don't dare to take revenge on Chen Yan. The flower lady picked up the corners of her mouth, added a little charm to her smile, and said, "Besides, I have never seen a thief who can grow old. I have only heard of a rich family that has been a hundred years old. Isn't it clear at a glance how to choose between you and the water ghost?
"You are such a smart person." Qin Mubai nodded with a smile, "It's useless to just say, and there is no evidence to speak. Prove it with your actions!"
"As long as you really promise me and let the king of Wu accept my place to give me, I promise that I will let Pang Fei appear in front of you before dawn!" The flower lady vowed.
"You can pick up people." Qin Mubai said lightly.
"Qin Mubai, a gentleman's word, it's hard to chase! Don't forget what you said today!" As soon as the flower lady gritted her teeth, she got up and walked out. "I'm going to get the lively Pang Fei and give it to you!"
"Hmm." Qin Mubai nodded.
The figure of the flower lady soon disappeared into the night.
Qin Mubai sat in the room and drank half a cup of tea in no hurry. Then he went to the bedroom on the second floor, opened the window, slipped down the railing outside the window, dived into the stream and swam forward before going ashore. Whistling, the unled fire cloud horse ran over with its hooves.
A circle of powder was sprinkled on the flower lady outside the fence, so Qin Mubai borrowed water to escape.
"Ladies, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Give me this trick. You just want to cheat my trust and blatantly be an undercover agent by my side, right? Qin Mubai snorted coldly and thought to herself: If nothing unexpected happens, she will really bring Pang Fei. Send a less valuable Pang Fei in exchange for my absolute trust. This transaction is absolutely valuable. Maybe my guess is wrong. The flower lady is sincerely regretting that she is helping me. But in this extraordinary period, carefulness makes the ten-thousand-year-old ship have to guard against it. If she really repents and helps me, she will be able to clarify in the future.
Thinking about it, Qin Mubai stepped on the horse and ran to the north on a starry night, running around in circles along the way.
As a result, everything is safe.
After getting along with Chen Yan for so long, coupled with his natural vigilance and tracking and anti-tracking skills learned in his previous life, Qin Mubai was sure that there was no stalking behind him. So he turned his horse's head and rushed to Dengzhou.
"It's time to play this play. It's time for this brown case to close the network. Qin Mubai grinned and said to himself: Li Ke, Chen Yan, the hundred cavalry soldiers in the military mansion, Quan Wanji and Yuwen Hongtai, who stayed in the assassin's mansion, will play their own roles and participate in this final battle against water ghosts!
"What a wonderful layout and seamless strategy!" Qin Mubai thought about it, with a confident and satisfied smile on his face.
When the sky was in full bloom, the hooves of the fire cloud horse had already stepped on the land of Dengzhou. After running all night, even a god's rot like it foamed at the mouth.
The door of a guest room in the official post station in Xinye County, Dengzhou was kicked open by Qin Mubai rudely. In an instant, several men laughed brightly.
"Qin Mubai, you are so punctual!"
"King of Wu, King of Qi! If you have an appointment with your two princes, how dare you be dishonest? Qin Mubai walked in with his head held high with his laughter.
Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li You, the king of Qi, and Xue Rengui next to him showed a gratified and excited smile.
"It's time!"
