However, a quarter of an hour passed at noon, and the person they wanted to see still did not appear.
Meng Lu frowned and looked at the man by the pond.
Although the man's expression was still normal, he had no intention of teasing the carp in the pond and was obviously a little anxious.
Another two quarters of an hour passed, and the other party still did not appear.
Ye Xiu looked at the sun alone, and after a moment, his eyes fell on the pond again.
The man had already started walking around, and now he was standing on the small arch bridge, his eyebrows tightly knitted.
After a while, he walked down again and kicked a willow tree on the side.
As time passed by, the man became more and more irritable and impatient.
Bai Yifeng on the side also began to worry, "Will that person not come? Or does he know that we are waiting here?"
Meng Lu shook his head, "We have been so cautious, so we should not be discovered. Maybe the other party is temporarily delayed by something. Let's check the situation."
Bai Yifeng nodded, and everyone fell silent again.
An hour later, it was already past noon, and at midnight, there was still no one at the pond.
Finally, the man pouted in the direction of the place, turned around and walked away.
Meng Lu and Ye Xiu looked at each other in confusion. Obviously, they couldn't wait for anyone here, and the other party really had no intention of showing up.
"Clan leader, you take Nannan and the others back first, and I will follow him. I can always find the mastermind who contacted him." Ye Xiu frowned and said.
"Dad, you haven't slept all day. Let's leave this matter to Uncle Bai. Uncle Bai must have slept soundly last night."
"..." Bai Yifeng stared at this little thing, and finally began to grind his teeth, pinching his tender little face.
The touch on his hand was smooth and elastic. He pinched it and was instantly satisfied. He immediately said to Ye Xiudu, "Well, leave this to me. I'll go ahead."
Nannan rubbed her little face. My mother didn't pinch her so hard. Uncle Bai was so mean.
However, for Uncle Bai to go willingly, this sacrifice is still worth it, and he will sacrifice Hue.
After all, his looks are still valuable.
Ye Xiudu glared at Bai Yifeng, shook his head and said, "Bai Yifeng's wine-making skills are not bad, but his martial arts... is a bit worse. If he meets a master, he will be the one to help him out."
"..." Bai Yifeng silently turned his head and looked at the clear sky above his head. He no longer wanted to talk to the father and son. They were here specifically to attack him, right
Ye Xiudu ignored his gloomy expression, touched Nannan's head and said, "Follow the clan leader and return to the clan mansion first, and have a good rest. Daddy will be back soon."
With that said, he turned to Meng Lu and said, "Nan Nan's safety is entrusted to you."
Meng Lu laughed and said, "Don't worry."
Only then did Ye Xiudu stand up and rush towards the direction where the man disappeared. After a while, no trace of the person could be found.
Nannan looked at the direction in which Ye Xiudu disappeared with some emotion. He turned his head after a while, and then threw himself on Bai Yifeng fiercely, "Uncle Bai, I want to pinch him back, I want to pinch him back."
Bai Yifeng hurriedly ran towards the direction of the carriage with his head in his arms.
Meng Lu and Jiang Er looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, stood up and followed them.
When the two of them got on the carriage, they saw Bai Yifeng glaring at Nan Nan with a sad look on his face. But the little guy folded his hands on his chest, lying on the soft cushion and laughing.
Seeing the two of them coming up, Bai Yifeng immediately calmed down his expression, stepped aside half of his body, and invited them to get on the carriage.
The car headed towards the inn again. It was quiet for a while, and then Jiang'er's low voice was heard, "Chief, let me go in front of that."
"You can follow me back to the clan mansion. Your child is very smart and will have a good future in the future." This was a promise.
Bai Yifeng raised his eyebrows and thought, the Mongolian patriarch said this personally because he intended to cultivate this child named Jiang'er.
However, he agreed with this. Children as thoughtful as him were rare. Since ancient times, wise superiors would not let go of such a talent, let alone the leader of the Mongolian tribe.
I heard that when the patriarch met Nannan before, he was obsessed with training him to be his heir, which prompted Yu Qingluo to kill him.
Nan Nan also sat up from his seat quickly, blinked and stared at Jiang'er.
Then, he nodded matter-of-factly, "Yeah, what Grandpa Lu said makes sense. Judging from your bright mind and agile skills, young man, you will definitely be the pillar of the country in the future, and your future is limitless."
"..." Bai Yifeng.
"..." Meng Lu.
"..." Jiang'er.
The three of them looked away silently, Nannan, you are the youngest here, but you speak the most maturely. What you said... they wanted to laugh.
Jiang'er remained silent for a moment. When he heard Meng Lu say this, his eyes lit up, but after a while, they dimmed again.
His identity is destined to prevent him from appearing in front of others and being known to everyone. Otherwise, his enemies would come to his door, and he would not be the only one to suffer. He would also be disappointed in his parents’ efforts to keep him alive and escape to the Mongolian tribe.
Therefore, Jiang'er just exhaled a long breath, and when he raised his eyes again, there was a smile on his face, "Chief, thank you for your kindness. But now is a time of trouble for the Mongolian people. If you can trust me, then It's better for me to hang out in the market. If there is anything unusual on the street, I can notify you as soon as possible."
Meng Lu was startled, looking at his bright eyes and his upright but very thin body. After a long time, he gently exhaled and said with a smile, "Since this is your own wish, then I will also I won’t force you anymore.”
As he spoke, he took out a one-hundred-tael silver note from his arms, "This is considered reward, how about it?"
"... I won't use that much." Jiang'er originally wanted to take no money, but thinking that she still had two books to buy, she didn't say much.
Just one hundred taels... It was indeed too much. He could even buy a small yard.
Nan Nan directly stuffed the one hundred taels of silver notes into his arms and said simply, "No more, no more. My mother said that the most valuable thing for intelligence work is money. This is public funds... What is intelligence work? You don’t need to understand what public funds are. Anyway, you just have to accept the money. What my mother said has always made sense. My mother... mother???"
Nannan paused for a moment before he suddenly looked out the car window. When the wind blew, a corner of the car curtain was exposed, and he seemed to see his mother standing over there.
The little thing arched his head and looked over there, and then his eyes lit up. It was really my mother, it really was.
