The sweet and greasy taste slowly melted on the tip of the tongue, as if sticking the words together, Hailian held the candy in his mouth, did not look into Fang Tinglan's eyes, turned his head and changed the subject: "Didn't you say that you Have you delayed the time? How can they keep up?"
Fang Tinglan sighed in his heart, but still replied: "I don't know."
Hailian was a little surprised: "Is there something you don't know?"
"To be precise, I still can't tell." Fang Tinglan indicated that there was still blood on Hailian's right cheek, "I've always been curious about the means of sending messages from the Tianjiku, although they have a lot of information about it. Quan Sihuang's information transmission speed is much slower than mine, but when it comes to controlling the surroundings of Taiyan City and the accuracy of information, I am far behind."
I don't know if the sweetness really has the effect of calming the mood. At this time, the baron's voice also relaxed three points, "Why?"
"Because it stands to reason that it should be less than half a day after the envoys of Tisu left and started to hunt them down, but they were able to ambush in advance. This speed is too fast. So I guess they should use Taiyan City as a hub. Some kind of new technology to transmit ciphertext messages." Fang Tinglan said.
"Could it be that their method of transmitting messages is the technique used in the first four volumes?" Hailian wondered.
"Not necessarily." Fang Tinglan shook his head, "The people from the Heavenly Hangar went to the Eight Federations. In order to express their sincerity, they dedicated all the original volumes of the four volumes to Tiegegu. If Taiyan had such intelligence means, then Dragon's Breath Castle should also have it, but Dragon's Breath Castle still uses Pegasus and Wolf Smoke to convey messages, so it should not be something in "Auspicious Light and Yellow Cloud Book", but something new about them in private..." When he said this Suddenly his expression paused, and when he spoke again, he seemed to be speaking to himself, "...Nowadays, even the heavenly hangar no longer relies solely on "Auspicious Light and Yellow Cloud Book". In the future, there will definitely be more incredible things in this world..."
"Then I hope there will be carriages without horses in the world in my lifetime." Hai Lian answered coldly.
Fang Tinglan couldn't help laughing, if it wasn't for being on the street, he would definitely not be able to resist kissing his little friend: "There will be such a day."
While talking, the two walked out from the other end of the alleyway and returned to the street. Both of them are faces of Dongzhou, and there is nothing against them when walking among pedestrians. At most, the girls on the street would laugh and tug their sleeves quietly, but quickly hide away when Hailian's suspicious eyes fell on their faces. He blushed to the side. Hai Lian looked away, and asked again: "Since they will always be ahead, there is nothing to do?"
"Of course there is a way, and it's very simple—either you can decipher the ciphertext, or... escape faster and farther." Fang Tinglan spread his hands, "I originally wanted to search their stronghold in Yu'an carefully, and see if they can escape." I couldn't find anything, but time was running out, so I had no choice but to burn it all down."
"So the previous method is no longer feasible?"
"That's right, and I'm also betting." Fang Tinglan nodded, "I'm betting how long it will take them to remedy the leak in Yu'an, and I also bet that they didn't want to share the information with Beihong Chaotang in the first place— Win and lose. They fixed it faster than I expected, and they trusted Bei Hong less than I expected."
"I do not understand."
"The meaning is to follow the second method." Fang Tinglan walked lightly, "I also said just now that although the city of Taiyan is impenetrable, the farther away from Taiyan, the less control the Tianjiku has over Dongzhou. If they want to catch us again, they will have to rely on the power of the court, so I can start my second bet."
Hailian hummed, and was about to ask him what the second bet was, but Fang Tinglan glanced at the side of the road: "Do you want to eat peach cake?"
"Don't change the subject." Hailian frowned.
Fang Tinglan tugged on his sleeve and brought him to the stall, "I'll pay for it, I'll tell you after I eat it."
Hai Lian found that since the reunion, this person's face has become thicker and thicker! He shook off Fang Tinglan's hand angrily, and walked aside, "Master Fang, if you want to eat, buy it yourself, don't treat me like a child."
When the stall owner on the opposite side saw a customer visiting, he immediately stood up and said: "The customer saw this attire, he must have come from another place! Our peach blossom cake is a special product here, and it is better than other places! The one at my stall The cake is a special product among special products, and it has been sold for more than twenty years! If you don’t like sweet food, you can buy it for your wife! After eating peach cake, people are more beautiful than peach blossoms!”
"Listen to what you said, then I have to buy it and try it." The man's eyes fell on Hailian who was a few steps away, and he smiled slightly. "My wife is losing my temper with me. I'll buy some to coax her back." he."
After buying two pieces of pastries, the two returned to the road. Fang Tinglan knew that the other party would really lose his temper if he continued to hold back, so he continued the previous topic and said, "You know, Long Rongruo wants to go back to Tisu. It is necessary to cross the sea, so my second bet is that instead of spending a lot of time searching on land to make people feel panic, it is better to bury you at sea. At that time, it can be said that it is because of natural disasters and tsunami, so we can separate the relationship .”
"Then let them try." Hailian pouted, "Ake should have received the letter, and when we get to Youji, just find a random merchant ship to sneak in and send us to Linhai. From Xielong Island, transfer to the Black Shark, and the rest of the matter can not be decided by the people of Beihong."
"Isn't it the Lady in the Clouds?" In terms of firepower and strength, no one at sea can win the queen, and using it as an escort is the best choice.
Hai Lian knew what the other party was wondering about, he shook his head and replied, "Because I'm going to Sand Ghost Bay on the way."
"What to do at Sand Ghost Bay?"
"Didn't you want me to help?" Hailian raised his eyebrows, "The place where I can get help is of course the most chaotic place on the sea."
"You have brought Her Lady Queen into the den of thieves." Fang Tinglan reminded.
"That can't be helped," Hai Lian said, "If she can't even stand Sand Ghost Bay, won't she be scared to death when she sees the chaos when she returns to Tisu?"
"Haha, it's true." Fang Tinglan corrected himself. At this time, the two had arrived at the back door of a wine shop, and they could smell the rich and intoxicating fragrance inside through the courtyard wall - this is also the safe house established by the Fang family in Jiayong City. The man handed the cake in his hand to Hailian, "I don't have a sweet tooth, since you don't eat it, give it to Your Majesty the Queen, and treat it as a way to calm her down."
Hailian pursed her lips and raised her hand to take it, "Yes."
47.
The chasing battle just now is bound to become a big news sensation in Jiayong City. The previous carriage cannot be used. Fang Tinglan has to prepare a way to leave the city later, and Hai Lian will go to see it first. Long Rong and the others arrived at the safe house.
Her Majesty the Queen has been hunted down many times now. After listening to Hailian's explanation of the situation with a calm face, she asked after learning about the next plan: "... Is Shaguiwan a terrible place?"
Hailian thought for a while, "It's not too scary. In my opinion, it's the same as the mud zone. Everyone is dirty. Not necessarily all bad people, but there may not be many good people."
"You like it there?"
"So-so, but there are knives and fists to talk about," Hai Lian replied, "it's more suitable for me."
"Is that so..." Long Rong thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Then I have a heartless request, and I would like to ask you when the time comes."
Hearing the woman's request, Hai Lian frowned more and more, and just as she finished speaking, he vetoed it: "No."
"Why?" Long Rong asked, "Since I can set foot in Sand Ghost Bay, why can't I go to Anwana District?"
"This time it's a special situation." Hai Lian was a little puzzled, "Why did you take the initiative to get mud on your clean white skirt?"
"What you said is a bit like my father." Long Rong smiled, she tilted her head slightly, as if remembering something, and said softly, "When I was young, I used to follow my father on a float from the palace, down the mountain and around the city for a circle, and The whole Jiumeng City celebrated his 30th birthday together. I remember that the entire Shiratori District was covered with flower petals and gold leaf that day, and the sky was as blue as glass, and I could almost see the sailboats on the sea level in the distance. That was the first time I Leaving the palace, I was very happy, thinking that I could see every corner of Jiumeng—but the float turned around when it reached the Reflecting Bridge. I asked my father at the time, didn’t he say that he would go around the city? Anwana across the bridge Isn’t that Jiu Meng? My father told me, ‘It is impossible for a person standing in the light to point his toes towards the shadow behind him’.”
As she said, the fingertips curled up in the sleeves clenched the skirt of the skirt, "This time, I want to remove the toes and see what the real shadow looks like."
Hailian stared at her for a while, and finally shook his head, he couldn't promise what he wasn't sure about, "Let's talk about it when the time comes, maybe you will be smelled back to the boat when you go to Sand Ghost Bay, and you won't be able to do it again." If you want to go to the Anwana area."
"Well, then we'll talk about it when the time comes." Long Rong smiled, "By the way, why did you wait outside for so long before returning?"
"The carriage was thrown on the road, and I walked back with him, just strolling around."
Long Rong blinked: "If you went shopping, did you buy anything?"
"..." Hailian brushed his teeth with the tip of his tongue, "No. He even gave half of my bag of candied chestnuts to the children. What do you want to eat? I'll go out and buy it for you."
"No need," Long Rong waved his hand, "I have to go on again later, you should go and rest for a while."
After Hai Lian bid farewell to Long Rong, he didn't rest, nor went to find Fang Tinglan, but went to the lobby of the winery. The shopkeeper here naturally knew that he was a customer that should not be neglected, so he hurriedly greeted him: "Is it what Mr. Fang wants? Or is it what you want?"
"Is there any flower that commits spring?" Hai Lian asked.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again and said, "No, although the wine is monopolized by Mr. Fang, he specified that it should be shipped to Tisu specifically, so we won't supply it to Beihong!"
Hailian was also taken aback, the string in his heart seemed to be pulled abruptly by a finger, and something invisible was about to fall, he turned his head hastily: "It's fine if you don't have any, any wine, come Half a bottle."
"Then I will give you a drop of spring that tastes similar to Huazuchun, do you think it will work?"
Hailian just wanted to end the conversation quickly: "Anything is fine."
He returned to the backyard with the wine, found a secluded corner and sat down, then took out the pastry from his back pocket. With half a bottle of wine, Hailian stuffed the peach blossom cake into her mouth.
The peach blossom cake in Jiayong City is really unique, sweet and dense, with a light floral fragrance, one bite into it feels like being in a peach blossom forest, it is best paired with mountain spring green tea or slightly drunk rice wine.
But the entrance of a drop of spring is too cold, cutting the taste like a knife, and involuntarily pouring spicy into the throat, burning it thoroughly, so that the sweetness and floral fragrance of the swallowed pastries are all submerged in the smell of wine.
The taste is wrong.
Nothing is right.
