"Guests, please come in. Would you like to cook or eat?"
"Do you have a private room for dinner?"
"Yes, please come in quickly!"
From a distance, Zhu Laoer saw a noble person walking towards their store, and he felt happy immediately. I have been hanging around here for a few years, and I usually have a good eye for people. The man in front of me has no expression on his face, with phoenix eyes and long eyebrows, especially the green jade pendant around his waist. That is the finest Hetian jade! If you treat yourself well, you can expect a "tip"!
"Xiao Er, have you seen this young lady? Or rather, this young man."
Zizhe took out two paintings from his body and asked Zhu Laoer. Zhu Laoer was stunned and looked at the two paintings in Zizhe's hands carefully. The first painting depicts a beautiful woman with girlish hair accessories, about fifteen or sixteen years old. His expression was indifferent, with a slight ironic smile on his lips. The second picture shows a handsome young man with clear features and a half-smile.
The faces of the people in the two paintings were somewhat similar, so Zhu Laoer thought they were two brothers and sisters. It's just that this lady...
"Huh… "
"What's wrong? Have you remembered?" Seeing his hesitation, Zizhe asked anxiously.
Zhu Laoer frowned tightly and said, "I think I've met this young lady a few days ago. That day Mr. Xu wanted to come up and talk to me, but this young lady didn't buy it. The maid also humiliated Mr. Xu. Later, Miss Li Yuanfang couldn't stand it, so she stepped forward to persuade her. Unexpectedly, she was also scolded by this young lady. Finally, I saw this young lady walking towards Beicheng. .”
Zizhe glanced at the person at the door and saw that he had no further instructions, so he took out a piece of silver, threw it to Zhu Laoer, and said, "Okay, go down, this is a reward for you."
When Zhu Laoer saw it, he felt something flashing in front of his eyes, and his hands suddenly gained a little weight. He looked down. He immediately beamed with joy. Isn't this his favorite thing? I didn't expect that the entourage with the sword was so generous. He thanked him several times before retreating.
"Master, do you want to send a signal to Shao Jing?" Zizhe closed the door carefully. asked.
Xie Weixing sat in front of the window. Unsurprisingly, he was playing with a wine glass in one hand. The cup hit the table with a dull sound. Shao Jing should be by Miss An's side, but I don't know where he is now. The two of them were each thinking about their own thoughts. There was silence in the private room for a while.
"You go to the west courtyard now, call some people over, and keep those people under surveillance. Don't alert the enemy."
"Where is Miss An..."
"I'll take a look."
Zizhe's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing. He knew that what his master had decided would never change again. Besides, that person is more important than anything else, so why would the master care about anything else

"Master, are you sure the nanny will really come?" Hiding in the corner of a teahouse. Xiao Yuan asked in a low voice, but her eyes never left the counter. What's at the counter? There is no one else but a fat boss. However, what she was staring at was a mark that looked like a moon and a scimitar on the counter.
"No matter what, how will you know if you don't try?"
As soon as she finished speaking. Xiao Yuan excitedly shook her arm. An Yu looked up and saw a person coming into the tea shop. Judging from the figure, he looked just like the wet nurse, except that he was. Her face was already pretending to be that of an old woman. After she caught a glimpse of the mark on the counter, she glanced around with caution. Xiao Yuan and An Yu lowered their heads one after another, drinking tea as if nothing had happened and escaped the disaster.
When he raised his head again, the wet nurse was talking to the boss, but she was far away, and Xiao Yuan couldn't hear everything even if she concentrated on listening.
Not long after, the wet nurse turned around and walked out the door. An Yu and Xiao Yuan looked at each other, stood up, and left the tea shop with another guest. Xiao Yuan looked around, locked the nanny's figure, and followed her with An Yu.
"Boss, how much does this cost per pound?" From a distance, I saw the nanny stopping at a tea stall.
"Tea is divided into old tea leaves and new tea leaves. I don't know which one you should choose?" the tea seller asked kindly.
"I want twenty kilograms of old tea leaves and twenty kilograms of new tea leaves. I want to take a look at these two tea leaves first, okay?"
When the tea seller heard this, his eyes flashed and he immediately said with a smile: "Of course, of course, I don't have the quantity you want here, why don't you follow me?"
"good."
The wet nurse followed the tea seller toward the back of their house. Xiao Yuan, who was following behind, frowned and murmured: "What is she doing? What's so good about old tea leaves? It still costs twenty kilograms, it's really weird!"
"This is their secret code. Only if she matches up, the boss will take her back. If she doesn't match up, then she is not one of theirs."
Xiao Yuan turned around in surprise and whispered: "Master, how do you know?"
"Guessed." An Yu said these two words lightly, picked up Xiao Yuan and followed the two of them as if nothing had happened.
"It's a guess again..." Xiao Yuan muttered and followed An Yu.
The nanny and the others entered a somewhat dark alley. Because it had just rained, there were raindrops falling on both sides of the alley. The patter of raindrops made the quiet alley appear faintly strange. Even Xiao Yuan, who was following An Yu, couldn't help but become alert.
I don't know how many turns I turned, but I saw a person guarding a small door in front of me. It was the boss who sold tea just now. An Yu gestured to Xiao Yuan to be gentle, and the two leaned against the wall beside the alley.
Oops! They're coming this way!
Xiao Yuan tugged at the corner of An Yu's clothes and told her to leave quickly. But if you leave at this time, those people will definitely hear the noise. At that moment, countless thoughts passed through An Yu's mind, and finally he gritted his teeth and pulled Xiao Yuan over. He put his hand on Xiao Yuan's shoulder without any image, and said unconsciously: "I, I'm not drunk, I'm drunk! Come on, come on, let's do it again!"
"who?"
Xiao Yuan finally came to his senses after his head was frozen, and he quickly smiled and said: "My young master is drunk, I'm helping him back! It's closer here!"
"Who said I was drunk?! I'm not drunk!"
As soon as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, An Yu on her shoulder raised his hand and raised his head in confusion, shouting. Xiao Yuan looked helplessly at the people blocking the alley. The nanny was gone, but the tea seller was with two people. The tea seller looked at the other two and stepped aside hesitantly.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly said: "Hey, thank you all for giving way. Hey, young master! I already told you that Mr. Xu has no good intentions, but if you still drink it, it will be my wife's turn to blame me when I get back!"
"Go, go, what do you, a slave, know? Old, old Xu doesn't know that! Hehe..." An Yu started talking drunkenly again.
Even after walking far away, you could still hear the erroneous words of the two masters and servants. The tea seller shook his head and walked quickly out of the alley with his two accomplices.
Xiao Yuan felt that Zizhe would never be allowed to touch alcohol in the future, otherwise, he would be made to kneel on the washboard, or perhaps, he would be punished to stand outside all night! An Yu just pretended to be drunk, which made her feel like he wanted to kill her, let alone being really drunk. Of course, no matter how bold she was, she would not kill her young lady.
"O-Old Xu... come on, come on, let us brothers have a drink again!"
"Hey, Master, we're almost there. Just hold on a little longer!" Xiao Yuan looked back and saw no one was there, so he pulled the hand on his shoulder and got into a yard.
An Yu no longer pretended to be drunk, and looked at Xiao Yuan with a smile on his face with clear eyes. The latter looked unhappy: "Master, no one is coming, so stop thinking about Mr. Xu!"
"I just discovered that Xiao Yuan is actually quite smart! He actually knows how to adapt to circumstances. He is indeed a teachable child!"
Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Master, I've always been very smart. Isn't there a word called "Da Zhi Ruo Fool"
"You are so wise as you are stupid!" An Yu stretched out his hand and flicked Xiao Yuan's forehead, and said with a helpless smile.
"Okay, let's get down to business now." An Yu looked serious and said seriously, "Did you see the nanny coming out just now?"
Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, "I only saw the tea seller and two others."
"This is probably one of their strongholds. It's getting dark now. Let's go there to explore later."
Xiao Yuan naturally had no objection.
The night is dark and windy, which is the time for sneaking around.
"Master, it's better for me to go, it's too dangerous for you to go!"
"Can I understand that you are looking down on me, your young master?" An Yu raised his eyebrows and pulled down his hood.
"Hey, how dare I underestimate the young master! I am lucky that the young master can take me with him for such sneaky things!"
This is An Yu's improved hood. Only his two eyes are exposed, and every part of his body is black. Xiao Yuan was so surprised at that time that he suspected that this was not the first time An Yu had done something sneaky!
"What are you talking about? A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!"
An Yu knocked Xiao Yuan's head angrily and funny, and said: "If the nanny hasn't come out, then the man we saw there must still be in there. I'm afraid I can't deal with his martial arts. When we arrive, When you are defeated, you must find a way to escape. In short, you cannot die here. Do you understand?"
"I know, don't worry, it's absolutely fine for me to escape!"
After entering the alley, they discovered that this was just the back door of a house. No, not just a backdoor, but one of the backdoors. The house is like a small maze, divided into four small courtyards. The layout of each courtyard is exactly the same. Even the trees planted are about the same size. I don't know how they calculated it. Entering through the door in the alley is a small courtyard on the southwest side.
