In the dark alleyway, Fang Tinglan clearly saw Hailian's paint-like eyes. The man's hands tightened even tighter: "Having this answer is enough." He paused, as if remembering something, and added, "No, it's not enough. — Remember to write to me."
Sure enough, Fang Tinglan's aggressiveness came again. The captain of the Heishan frowned. He has always come and gone like the wind, and even Xiaoyu has never received his letter: "I never write."
"Then I will be the first person to receive your letter." Fang Tinglan said confidently, "You can write anything, at least let me know about your recent situation, otherwise I might not be able to resist going to Jiumeng City. Place a thousand spies."
Hailian glared at him, but it was a pity that this glance was not threatening in the night: "When are you leaving?"
"The morning after tomorrow, go back with the caravan." Fang Tinglan said, "Don't change the subject."
There were a few crisp gunshots from outside the alleyway. It was the sheriff who led people into the battlefield, and the place would soon be filled with chaos. Hailian clicked his tongue, "I'll write it down when I think about it."
Fang Tinglan emphasized, "If you don't remember it, I will remind you to write it."
Hailian pouted, but did not refute the other party's words. He took a step back, clasped Fang Tinglan's fingers with one hand, and pulled out the short gun with the other hand, "Okay, Master Fang, don't be pretentious here, I'm going to meet Kunji and the others now, Do you want to join?"
Lord Zhenhai is in a great mood, so naturally he will not refuse his lover's invitation: "Of course."
69.
When Hailian and his party returned to Old Yanpiu Street, they found that the Viscount and his wife were still standing at the door of the tavern. Hailian hurried over to greet her: "Why don't you go to rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."
"I'm not someone who can leave things to tomorrow." The Viscount looked directly at him with a serious expression, "Only you are back?"
Of course Hailian knew what the other party meant, "Her Majesty the Queen is in Qiyun City."
"Your Majesty the Queen..." the Viscount repeated the address, his expression relaxed a little, "I really did not misunderstand the person, you and Long Rong are both good children with good decisions."
Helian smiled.
"Where are the other envoys? Are you also with His Majesty?"
"It's a bit troublesome for everyone to safely withdraw from Beihong, so I arranged for others to make a detour," Fang Tinglan continued from the side, "If you calculate the time, you should be able to come back before winter."
"You are..." The viscount narrowed his eyes, but failed to recognize Fang Tinglan under the dim light, but the old lady exclaimed: "Aren't you... Hailian's friend from Dongzhou? I haven't seen you for many years Arrived!"
"You still remember me, I'm very happy." Fang Tinglan smiled and bowed to the two.
"How can I not remember this? Hailian never introduced his friends to us before. You are the first one. Of course I am deeply impressed." The old lady was surprised and delighted, "I asked Hailian to invite you over again later. Sit, sit, I didn't expect you to have returned to Nanhong at that time... Have you received the special product I asked Hailian to send you?"
Fang Tinglan's expression froze. During the four years when he and Hai Lian broke up, he never received any special products from Yun Hai, but facing the old lady's earnest gaze, he still nodded calmly with a smile: "Yes, thank you." Your kindness should have been returned in return, but it was my fault that it was delayed due to the turmoil in the world. This time I will accompany Hailian to Tisu, and I have prepared a generous gift as compensation for my rudeness."
The old lady waved her hands again and again to express that she didn't mind: "We don't need you to return any salutes. If you have the heart, why don't you help our family Hailian more. He is used to being stubborn and keeps everything on his own. There is a A friend who can speak the truth is fine.”
Fang Tinglan looked calm: "This is what I should do."
Hai Lian, who couldn't speak at all, just watched the old lady sell herself to Fang, he opened his mouth several times, but finally gave up, and turned to Viscount Yonore: "You seem to have something else to tell me? "
"That's right." Viscount Yonoll said after thinking for a while, "Since you can find out that I was detained in Simona's mansion, you must also know the reason for the detention."
"Ok."
"Before the black eagle defiled the sacred Chenming Palace, I set fire to it." Yonoel cut to the chase, "Simona was furious because of this, but we are the only clues he can hold, and we old bones are also He couldn't stand any trouble, so he put us under house arrest in the mansion."
Hailian suddenly remembered, "I remember that you are not the only old people who participated in the research."
Viscount Yonoel smiled: "The effect of my fire is not only to cut off Simona's thoughts, but also to delay a little time, so that my students have a chance to escape-although Chenming Palace is the highest place in Tisu now. It is a school, but more than a hundred years ago, its function was to show the majesty of the royal family's magnificent palace."
"You mean..." Hai Lian's eyes widened, "There is a secret passage in Chenming Palace?!"
"That's right." No matter what situation he was in, the old man's back was always straight, ""Jiguang Huangyunshu" and my students are my treasures. I promised you that even if it is a rubbing book, I will keep it It is my credit as a man to preserve it; it is my loyalty to my country to keep it and my pupils out of enemy hands."
Hailian stared at the Viscount, speechless for a long time, and finally, he bowed solemnly and saluted.
"Thank you." The young man whispered.
"I have told those students before that as long as Simona is still entrenched in Jiumeng City for a day, they must not act rashly, so I thought that the disturbance tonight was because of their young people who were impulsive and unable to restrain themselves. I thought it was you."
"Then they..."
"Still in Jiumeng City." Yonoel replied, "You are not the only ones working hard for Jiumengcheng, Hailian."
When Fang Tinglan heard this, his expression became condensed: "I once heard that in April, there were many tabloids criticizing and condemning Simona in Jiumeng City, but because the scale was not large, and there were not many literate people in the mud area. Many, so it was quickly cleaned up by Simona... Is this group of students doing it?"
"As a Dongzhou native, you are a bit too well informed." The Viscount did not deny it, but his father's sternness was in his voice, "Don't forget the conversation I had with you."
"I never dare to forget." Fang Tinglan lowered his eyes, "I have already found my light and tied him with my fate, so please rest assured that I will never fall into the abyss."
"That's good," said the Viscount.
Hai Lian didn't know what kind of riddle the two were playing, and he was not a person who asked the bottom line, so he continued the previous topic: "Can I go to them? I know that there are many things that cannot be solved by the turmoil just like tonight. , I am very short of manpower now... except for uh... except for my friend, there are basically no educated people around."
"That's exactly what I want to say." Yonoel glanced at Madam, and the old Madam patted his hand and nodded to him with a smile. The old man finally let go of the breath he was raising, "They all have different backgrounds, but they are all very upright and intelligent children. I have written a letter, and you will go to them tomorrow with the letter."
"This is the last sharp sword that this old bone of mine can give you." Yonoel urged, "You must hold it tightly and use it to cut through the darkness in front of you."
The Baron replied: "Sure."
Tisu from 471 to 473 years of the First Era was called the "Black Feather Crow Period" in history, not only because of Duke Simona who occupied the capital Jiumeng City during these three years. The coat of arms is the red-clawed black eagle, and it also symbolizes the belief in the white-feathered phoenix as the patron saint. The country of Tisu has experienced three years of darkness.
Scholars of later generations have always believed that the moment when Queen Longrong escaped from Beihong to Qiyun City after half a year, and signed the "Qiyun Morning Bell Declaration" with Duke Signefa on August 21, symbolized the white-feathered phoenix's love for the black vulture. The counterattack began; but as early as two months ago in Jiumeng City, a battle that had long been lost in the classics was initiated by the drunks and suppressed very quickly, as if it only caused the Duke Simona's mansion to lose Bai Jinqi's midnight chaos was already the prelude to all attacks.
