Jiang Fan chuckled and said, "So that's all the reason why you don't approve of the third path
Ding Shao'an hesitated for a moment and turned his head to look in Wei Xiaohong's direction. "And the most important thing... to be honest, Wei Xiaohong came too suddenly and coincidentally. Do you trust her so much
Jiang Fan rubbed his chin and said, "I see. In fact, the biggest reason is still the issue of trust
Not bad, Wei Xiaohong's two statements cannot be confirmed. First, why was she robbed by the Black Sail bandits at this time? You should know that the Black Sail bandits should be chasing us with all their might and are unlikely to spare time to rob a civilian ship. Second, she claims to be the daughter of a merchant, but she has an undeniable sense of nobility, and her identity is truly questionable. Third, don't you think her behavior is not quite in line with common sense? She has just experienced a major change, but her thoughts are clear and her words are substantial. Although she seems timid and flustered, she cannot conceal her calmness in her bones. How can I trust a woman who is full of mysteries like this
Jiang Fan raised his thumb with an exaggerated expression and said, "Impressive, impressive! Peach Blossom Brother observes meticulously, analyzes every detail, and has high insight! However..." He looked eagerly at Ding Shao'an and said, "Shao'an Brother, we cannot rule out the possibility that some people have extraordinary talents. For example, Shao'an Brother, you don't look like a bandit blocking the way and robbing
Ding Shao'an was taken aback for a moment, his eyebrows rising with anger: "Are you doubting me
Jiang Fan quickly waved his hand and said, "Where, where? I'm just using Peach Blossom Brother as an example. There are always people with extraordinary minds and behaviors that are different from ordinary people. We can't jump to conclusions without evidence
Ding Shao'an snorted and said, "You can choose not to take her with you, or you can ignore her advice. At least you can avoid unnecessary danger
Jiang Fan chuckled and said, "Brother Shao'an's words are absolutely right, but isn't this girl so pitiful? We have to have some sympathy for someone who has lost her family and loved ones. If what they're saying is true, don't we? I think good advice can be heard and understood by listening to both sides. Also, since she's all here now, what's the difference between having her or not? Even if she has ulterior motives, it's better to keep her under her nose than in the dark. What does Brother Taohua think
Ding Shao'an's eyes twitched as he looked at the smiling face of the young man in front of him, and a chill inexplicably rose in his heart.
If this young man also thinks that Wei Xiaohong has ulterior motives, but actually acts like this, then what is he planning to do?
Is this young man really only sixteen or seventeen years old? Although what he said seemed casual, it made Ding Shao'an feel extraordinary. Is he insincere or genuinely intentional? Ding Shao'an suddenly felt that it was impossible to make a judgment.
Jiang Fan suddenly pointed at Wei Xiaohong with a thieving expression and said, "Brother Peach Blossom, look, Miss Xiaohong is secretly looking at you. Tsk tsk... being handsome is good, haha. Are you really not considering your peach blossom luck
——
The group set off again.
Jiang Fan thoroughly implemented Wei Xiaohong's suggestion, not only taking the main road, but also breaking it down into smaller parts.
Ding Shao'an, Bai Xiaocui, Wei Xiaohong, Jiang Fan, Xiong Sanyi Road. Under Jiang Fan's skillful disguise, Jiang Fan transformed into a playboy of the landlord's family, Xiong San transformed into a guard, Ding Shao'an acted as a groom, Bai Xiaocui became a young lady, and Wei Xiaohong became a little maid.
Xiong Da led the other bears into two paths, one opening the way in the front and the other guarding in the back. Maintain a distance of about one mile from Jiang Fan and the others in the center.
This main road connects Qin and Wei, with a large number of vehicles and people. It's really difficult to distinguish these people mixed in.
Not long after Jiang Fan and the others left, a figure stood at the place where they had just left, looking at several black clothed people lying around, muttering to himself, "If you don't have hair on your mouth, you won't be able to handle things properly. I have to wipe my butt
A man in black struggled to sit up halfway and exclaimed in horror, 'Who exactly are you?'
The person was a little surprised and said, "Oh, I can't tell. I have a lot of internal strength. Anyway, I'll give you another ride. It's really pitiful that I'm such an old bone, and I have to travel around with my age
——
The eighth floor of Linjiang Pavilion.
After Bailuzhou, we lost track of Xiaolang and the others, and it's difficult to determine their whereabouts now
After listening carefully to Xiaoqing's words, Pei Yunjin pondered for a moment and said, "The White Egret Island is so close to us that I didn't know there were two great masters. Chai Lao, from what you see, what are the levels of the fisherman and woodcutter
The skinny old man squinted his eyes and smoked his pipe, exhaling smoke. Upon hearing this, he knocked on his pipe and slowly said, "There is no doubt that he is a peerless master
How about better than you
The old man thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to estimate based solely on these
Xiao He showed a surprised expression and said, "Chai Lao, are you that tall
The old man shook his head and said, "It's difficult to accurately infer the strength of a warrior from the tip of the iceberg. I don't know how much force these two have contributed
Pei Yunjin's eyes showed fear. Others didn't know, but she knew Chai Lao's strength the best. If he said so, these two were probably above the Grandmaster.
Is there no clue about these two people
Xiaoqing shook her head and said, "I have carefully reviewed the information of experts who have been living in seclusion or missing in recent years, and currently cannot make any related judgments
What are big masters like them doing in that small place of Bailuzhou
Xiao He asked with great confusion.
Pei Yunjin said, "It's hard to say, maybe because of those exotic egrets, or for other reasons, but I don't think it's targeted at my Linjiang Pavilion. We'd better not disturb such senior experts
Miss, what you said is absolutely right. Due to the woodcutter's escort, we dare not continue to track and even lose the trace of the young man. Do we need to continue searching
Pei Yunjin's tone was calm, but firm: "Look, you need to know that Xiaolang is probably more important to me than I imagined in Linjiang Pavilion
Miss, Jiang Xiaolang's background is unknown and his identity is mysterious. The trouble he encountered this time is also very big. Currently, besides Chen Laobie, we know that there are several other forces in the dark. Continuing to participate may be detrimental to my Linjiang Pavilion
The middle-aged man who had been silent all along also spoke up, "Miss Qing's words are reasonable. Jiang Xiaolang's dishes and brewing skills are rare in the world, but Miss really wants to suppress the century old foundation of Linjiang Pavilion? Besides, these two skills have already been obtained by me, and the reward for Jiang Xiaolang is also rich enough. Miss, should we withdraw at the right time
Xiaoqing also agreed, "We have cleared a lot of tails for Jiang Xiaolang along the way, which can be considered as repaying his kindness
Pei Yunjin slowly sat down and looked at the two of them, saying, "Uncle Ma, Xiaoqing, I know you have been living in Linjiang Pavilion and have a deep affection for it. These thoughts are also for the sake of Linjiang Pavilion. But don't forget that our ancestors have always adhered to the concept of repaying kindness and seeking revenge. Our ancestors and father never dared to forget it. Jiang Xiaolang has shown me great kindness in Linjiang Pavilion, which cannot be measured by just money. If Pei Yunjin stands by and does nothing to help us when we are in trouble, we are not worthy of our ancestors' teachings
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said, "My ancestors and elders have followed the Pei family and are aware of their family rules. If the young lady has made up her mind, I am willing to listen to their orders
Chai Lao suddenly sighed and said, "Yunjin, I have watched you grow up since I was young. Is it true that in your heart, you only have to repay kindness
Pei Yunjin's face remained calm, and he only said, "Send more manpower to search in all directions. Once Xiaolang's whereabouts are found, immediately fly pigeons to report
Xiaoqing and the others exchanged a glance and withdrew in response.
After they left, Pei Yunjin stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the rolling river water with a hint of inexplicable meaning on his lips
