Chapter 7 Take Your Time

Luo Xiyao took out the portrait, "This man's name is Jiang Hong, he is sixteen or seventeen years old, he may be fat or thin, his right eyebrow is slightly raised, his hands have scars on the backs of his hands, and he walks... with a limp."

He Lan Linzhang who got the portrait originally thought that Luo Xiyao knew who she was looking for, but when he heard it, she seemed very unsure, "Are you fat or thin?"

He opened the portrait and saw that there was more than one face in the painting.

"Surprised?" Luo Xiyao looked indifferent, "Seventh Brother's face, doesn't it change from time to time?"

He Lan Linzhang narrowed his eyes, his expression cold and serious.

As if she didn't feel his vigilance, Luo Xiyao took a sip of tea, "However, we are going to be husband and wife too, Seventh brother must be patient with his bride."

"Bride? I heard that Jiu Niang acted recklessly and failed to accept the imperial edict. Why, Jiu Niang regretted it?"

"Excessive asking price, pay back the money on the spot. I thought Seventh Brother, as a rising star of Eastern Qi merchants, should understand this very well. Could it be that I was wrong?" Luo Xiyao looked at him firmly, "I thought this matter is that we are already Unspoken, could it be that I was wrong?"

Helan Linzhang didn't want to argue with the girl, so she just said: "Jiu Niang took so many detours to see me, she couldn't just ask me to find someone for you, right?"

"Yes and no." Luo Xiyao's tone was provocative, "After knowing what the Eastern Qi court thinks, I always want to see if my husband is worth a fight."

"How does Jiu Niang feel?"

Luo Xiyao put down the teacup, "It's okay."

He Lan Linzhang clicked on the picture scroll on the table, "It seems that this is Jiuniang's test for me."

Luo Xiyao nodded and said: "Seventh brother was able to kill the second prince's most capable confidant outside the city yesterday, so what is such a trivial matter as finding someone?"

He Lan Linzhang's expression froze when he heard Luo Xiyao's words, his eyes were cold, "Jiu Niang, don't talk nonsense."

"If Seventh Brother just wants to marry the noble daughter of Dongqi and return to Mobei, and wait for another beautiful head that can be collected during the war, then I have nothing to say. If Seventh Brother temporarily takes a step back to get closer, I will Hold Dong Qi in the palm of your hand with you!" The coldness and piercing in her eyes surprised Helan Linzhang.

He was already amazed that a girl who hadn't reached his age dared to resist the decree, but now she dared to say this in front of him. Is it because ignorant people are fearless, or do they have other plans?
He Lan brought tea to Luo Xiyao in Linzhang, "I would like to hear more about it."

"I'm going to Beijing soon, and I need manpower." Luo Xiyao said flatly, "Brother Seven will know when the time comes."

Luo Xiyao talked to Helan Linzhang and left.

As soon as she left Helan Linzhang, she called Bai Shui and Hong Ming over, "Bai Shui went to find someone, and Hong Ming went here with the token to meet Luo Jiu. From today on, you will follow Luo Jiu."

Before Hong Ming could speak, Bai Shui became anxious, "Master! How can..."

"Yes!" Hong Ming stepped on him, cupped his fists and saluted, "Master, don't worry, this subordinate will definitely protect Nine Girls."

Protect?Helan Linzhang suddenly felt that Hongming alone might not be enough, so he asked him to bring a small team over there, and listen to her orders at any time, and report to him immediately if there is any doubt.

"Bai Shui, if there are traces of the actions outside the city, you should check quickly."

"Yes! Master, but someone in Beijing suspects you?"

"It's Luo Jiu." He Lan Linzhang lowered the sharpness in his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the table, "She might have found something when she went out of the city that day."

Bai Shui thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, it's impossible for this matter to go wrong! Besides, the day Miss Nine left the city, my subordinates saw it together with the master, and the girl was riding a horse and not flying, how could it be possible to meet her? Even if she met , was also stopped by officers and soldiers..."

He Lan Linzhang nodded and closed his eyes. This was something he didn't understand. The real Luo Jiu was too different from the Luo Jiu he knew. "Arrange someone to check on her."

It's just that the mother died of illness, and their mother and daughter have always been rare and not close, so they can't change their temperament greatly...

It seems that he can only wait and see, as time goes by, the fox's tail will always be exposed.

Helan Linzhang arranged for Hongming to go there, also for surveillance.Whether Luo Xiyao lied to him or if there is any evidence, he will know sooner or later.

At this time, Helan Linzhang did not expect that he could kill her once and for all, but he chose to take it slowly...
