That night, Lid had a somewhat strange dream.
In fact, he seldom has nightmares, and even if he has nightmares, most of them are about the scene of fencing with He Yue. But this time Lide had a not-so-good dream despite clearly holding Alaya to sleep. In the dream, there was a vast sea full of wind and waves. Li De stood on an isolated island, and the sky above his head was very strange.
Thousands of miles of dark clouds, thunder and lightning flickering, but just above Lide, the clouds rolled up like a vortex, and a golden giant sword was revealed in the middle. The tip of the sword is pointing at Lide, and it seems that it may fall at any time, but Lide cannot escape: there is a purple-black mist floating around him, enveloping him in it, helping him to fight against the might of God above his head, but not letting Lide free .
With the mighty power of the sky and the howling of the waves, Li De was distracted for a while. He knew that this was a dream, and he knew that he could wake up when he opened his eyes, but a force that he didn't know came from suppressed him and forced him to look at the scene in front of him. In the end, when Lid thought that the dangling sword on top of his head was about to fall down and split himself and the isolated island under his feet in two, a strange singing sounded, and the wind and waves became calm instantly.
Lid opened his eyes.
Irene, who was sitting by the window, was playing her three-stringed lute. The bright sun shone on her body, and her powdery little face seemed to be transparent under the sun. Lide sat up from the bed with his forehead supported, and Irene also stopped playing, bouncing to Lide's side, and said:
"Is Big Brother better?"
Lid wiped his forehead and found that his hair was completely wet with sweat.
Alaiya on the side opened the door and came in, holding a bucket of cold water in her hand, while Baihuang next to her was still trying to lure her:
"Trust me, can my aunt still lie to you? My brother used to be haunted by a ghost and couldn't get up. That's how my aunt told him to get up. Pour a bucket of water on him to make sure he's refreshed... Ah, you woke up ah?"
Alaiya looked at Lid nervously, and Lid smiled back at her.
Then he said to Irene:
"Did you wake me up?"
Erin nodded and replied:
"The big brother's situation just now is very strange, and I don't know what to do. But when I was young, whenever I had nightmares, my mother would sing me a lullaby, and I stopped crying after listening to it. So I also gave my big brother Sing it, although it is not as good as my mother's singing."
Lied got up from the bed, moved his body, and recalled the dream just now. His first thought was that maybe someone was cursing him, and then he thought maybe someone was reminding him or warning him, but Lid had no idea, so he put it aside.
Bai Huang put a box of hot seafood porridge casserole beside the bed, and said to Lide:
"I received another letter at the door this morning, wait for you to see it."
Lid nodded, took a hot shower to relieve his fatigue, and then returned to the room while wiping his hair. Bai Huang put the letter on the table, Li De picked it up and looked at it, it was indeed the same person's handwriting.
The content of the letter this time is still short and scribbled:
"North of Zhiluo Mountain, five people."
Lide checked that there was no mechanism on the letter, and put the letter aside. As Lide expected, the other party obviously needed Irene to help him suppress something, but because he couldn't show his face, he used letters to lead Lide and Baihuang to the east of Jiangcheng Inn. Even in order for Li De and Bai Huang to gain Irene's trust smoothly, the other party deliberately disclosed to Su Yu the information that Irene is the oiran, creating an opportunity for Li De and Bai Huang to get acquainted with Irene.
Lide didn't tell Irene about these things, nor did he tell Baihuang.
Telling Irene would easily thwart the trust between the two parties, while telling Baihuang would dampen her enthusiasm for fighting for justice. The most important thing is that there will be no benefits for confessing, so Lide does not intend to say what he has investigated at all.
Li De finished the porridge Bai Huang bought outside, wiped his mouth, Bai Huang poked his head out from behind him, and asked:
"How? Are we going?"
Lieder asked:
"What do you think?"
Following Li De's example, Bai Huang put his arms around his arms, touched his chin, and replied:
"Grandma feels that there must be something strange about this matter. Let's not talk about how the other party knows that we are five people now, let's just talk about Zhiluo Mountain. It is one of the most desolate mountains on our side. There are endless peaks. Who knows what he said Which one is it. In addition, this person has already deceived us once last time, and my aunt will not be easily fooled this time."
Lide crumpled the letter paper, threw it into the trash can, and said:
"Generally speaking, this is indeed the case, but this time I want to go and have a look. If it is a friend, we will meet early, and if it is trouble, we will resolve it early."
Lid paused, and added:
"Currently, there are five factions in Yunhai. I will name them Lord Yunhai, Baiye, Baifeng, Troublemakers, and Melon Eaters. Needless to say, the first three are troublemakers. Brother and two tigers are fighting to achieve their own position, and the melon-eating party intends to kill us to provoke disputes. In addition to these five, there are also some objective external pressures, such as the ocean tribe, etc. In this case, since there are If you have the opportunity to find out the identity of the other party, it’s okay to meet him, if you are in danger, just run away.”
Bai Huang's expression seemed to understand but not understand:
"But there are only five people in the letter, so we don't take Irene, can we just find someone on the street to go there? Irene has nothing to do with Yunhai's dispute, and I always feel guilty and flustered with her aunt. What if Irene is blocked and beaten up there, and my aunt and you are accompanied by guards, what will Irene do?"
Lied smiled and said:
"It's equally dangerous for you to leave her here alone. It won't be long before Irene is the oiran, and she should know it herself. But later, you can ask her if she is willing to act with us. If she is not If so, hire someone to take care of her."
Bai Huang hummed and left like the wind.
Soon, there was a conversation in the next room, and Irene agreed to act with Baihuang on the grounds that she felt more secure when she was with Baihuang. But she also made a small request, that is, this time she acted together with Bai Huang, and if there is a chance later, she hoped Bai Huang could help her find something.
Bai Huang asked her what it was, but Irene didn't say anything, but said with a silly smile:
"I'll tell Big Sister later."
When Bai Huang told Li De this request, Li De felt that Irene was quite easy to understand.
She has an extraordinary temperament and likes the bread and hot milk that are only available in the folk. She calls herself a traveler and her goal is to find something, which means that she is most likely a young lady who sneaked out of a big family. It's just that Lide still doesn't know which territory she is from, nor does she know what she is running around for.
