Although Bai Huang is usually not good at what he does, he still has some credibility when he is serious.
Thanks to her recall of some things about her own army, based on the bits and pieces of information she provided, coupled with her own observation and perception, Lide roughly deduced the patrol routes and shift change times of the members outside.
The little ghost secretly dealt with the guards outside, and the probing group of four dragged the "drowsy" guards in, took off their clothes and armor, put them on themselves, and then slipped out in the dark. Lide used the cosmetics he carried with him to simply paint Bai Huang and Alaya with masculine makeup, making them look very strong in the dark, the kind that can kill a cow with one punch.
Of course, they were spotted a few times in the middle, but thanks to Yunhai recruiting recruits every year at the end of spring and autumn, the four of them pretended to be newcomers who didn't know their way, and stumbled out of the mountain.
When they returned to the city that never sleeps, it was already dawn.
The damp and cold air entered her lungs, Bai Huang took a few deep breaths, and the glow of the sky shone on her face.
She has been tense all night, and now the dark circles under her eyes are still heavy. Lide seemed to be in a good mood, and went to the breakfast shop on the street to buy a drawer of soup dumplings filled with crab powder, ate three for himself, and fed four for Alaiya. Lide knows that Alaiya likes to eat crabs and persimmons. These two foods are in the same season. According to folklore, they cannot be eaten together, so Alaiya often has a hard time choosing between the two delicacies.
Bai Huang sat on the side of the road for a while, and dragged Lide to many places, but Bai Ye was never seen.
"It's strange... Where did the eldest brother go..."
With his head propped up, Bai Huang seemed to be deep in thought.
Lide was not surprised by this result. Rather, he guessed that Bai Ye would not be so easy to see before he came.
Bai Ye was originally the core figure in the current civil turmoil in the sea of clouds, and he doesn't have such complicated interpersonal relationships as Bai Feng, so it's hard to find him alone. In addition, he must always be on guard against Baifeng dispatching troops to directly suppress him. Hiding in the dark is the most reasonable choice. If Lide were him, he would adopt the same strategy.
When Bai Huang was at a loss, a plainly dressed little boy appeared in her vision.
The little boy approached Baihuang timidly, and whispered:
"Sister, sister, someone sent you a letter."
Bai Huang took the letter suspiciously and asked:
"Who gave it to me?"
The little boy sniffed his nose, turned his head and pointed to the crowd in the distance, and replied:
"I don't know, just now a weird guy passing by asked me to give it to you, and also gave me a silver coin for running errands."
Bai Huang opened the letter, and the little boy took the opportunity to run away. He doesn't know Bai Huang, but he can tell that Bai Huang's clothes are very unusual. He is afraid that she will pester him to ask questions, and it is more important to keep the silver coins he just put into his pocket. In fact, he also lied to Bai Huang, and asked him to send him two silver coins instead of one. The little boy was afraid that Bai Huang would take the money away, so he intentionally underreported half of it.
This is the innate wisdom of the people at the bottom.
Bai Huang had no time to care about him, so he opened the letter a few times and found that there was only one address written inside:
"Jiangcheng Inn East Branch."
Bai Huang regained his spirit all of a sudden, and said to Li De:
"It must be my elder brother who contacted us, let's go and have a look with my aunt!"
After speaking, she stood up on her knees, grabbed Lide's hand, and ran to the east of the city. Jiangcheng Inn has three branches in the city that never sleeps, but there is only one in the east of the city. The east branch refers to the branch in the east of the city. Li De originally wanted to search for the suspicious person who sent the letter, but seeing Bai Huang's agitated expression, he went with her.
Bai Huang who ran into the inn called Bai Ye's name loudly, causing all the guests to look back at her.
Lid glanced roughly and frowned slightly. He didn't find anyone worth noting from the inn, and there wasn't even a person above the eighth level of realm here. The good news is that the person who sent the letter should have no evil intentions, and the bad news is that Bai Ye probably isn't here either.
The guests in the inn just glanced back at Baihuang, and quickly turned their attention elsewhere.
The lobby was full of people, who seemed to be watching something, Bai Huang's voice only caused slight ripples, and soon the surroundings returned to an abnormal calm.
Lied took Alaya up to the second floor, leaned against the fence and looked down, and found a girl in a cloak sitting among the crowded crowd. From this angle, she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could see the girl under the cloak. Revealed pale pink hair. The girl was holding a sanxian in her hand, and was gently picking it with a pick.
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly:
"Play one more song!"
"Yeah, let's play another song, girl! It's rare to hear such a beautiful piece!"
"How much do I have to pay? I'll cover it all!"
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and serve tea to the girl!"
A burst of noisy yelling stopped when the three-stringed lute sounded. The girl just casually plucked the string twice, but the pleasant voice made everyone in the inn quiet. Lide stared at the girl for a while, convinced that she didn't have any realm cultivation, but he didn't know why he always felt a sense of disobedience.
The girl raised her head and said softly:
"Then, I'll play another song. This is called an inn. I heard people say that most of the people who live here are alone and away from home. In fact, I am too. I hope everyone can feel at ease after listening to my song. "
The girl played the piano lightly. After a prelude, she opened her mouth, and her voice was as sweet as spring rain hitting the eaves:
"I also want to run to the end of the world for love. Anyone in the four seas can be home. Birds flying back to the forest stand on the branches, and fish rushing under the sea, don't know where to go... I am also like that fish ~ in the dark Swim desperately~ Maybe one day I will step on land, maybe one day I will live in the sun... "
Her voice is really nice, and He Yue has two completely different singing styles.
What He Yue sang was an opera, full of laughter and cursing, and a few lines of lyrics seemed to have all kinds of life. The girl's voice is very pure, a bit like a folk song, the rhythm is very slow and simple, so the shamisen can be controlled; but the feeling she sings is very ethereal and elegant, making it easy for people to fall into it.
Even Bai Huang, who was constantly looking for his brother, stopped and stood there listening.
After singing the song, the girl put away the sanxian, bowed to those present, and said with a smile:
"Thank you for liking it. I wish you all a good dream tonight."
Everyone stood up and applauded, and Lide couldn't help clapping too.
The girl turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, an old man who was not looking good suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist:
"I also want to have a good dream, but it's a pity that my son has suffered from insomnia for several days in a row... How about the girl accompany me for a night?"
