Yuan Shanting almost exploded with anger. He had just exchanged his life-saving grace for news the day before, but he still couldn't get Bai Yitang's whereabouts. He only got the address of Lingtianmen. If he wanted to see him, he would have to stay at Lingtianmen for an unknown number of years. Okay, but in the blink of an eye, Bai Yitang appeared with a high profile. The most important thing is that he is not in Kaifeng yet, he is not in Kaifeng! ! !

He was in Runing, and the news he got was second-hand. Even if they asked Yuange to deliver the news quickly, it would be a day late, and the most feared thing about the information is the delay, not to mention a day, just a moment may lose the opportunity.

Yuan Shanting was hesitating, wondering if he should set off for Kaifeng.

Su An Jianjian was much calmer than him, reached out and poured him a cup of tea and said, "It's too late for you to go to Kaifeng now, why don't you watch Li Baolu act."

Yuan Shanting frowned.

Su Anjian said softly: "Just now, Li Baolu's anxiety and concern are not fake. The relationship between their master and apprentice should be very good. Although I don't know why she betrayed her master, I think she will definitely rush to her master if something happens to her master, and her master," Su Anjian paused and said: "When you come to Runing, you must pass through Kaifeng. How do you know that he won't come to find his apprentice?"

Yuan Shanting took a deep breath, knowing that he was out of order, "Where's Li Baolu?"

There were many people standing downstairs doing registration, but Li Baolu was nowhere to be seen.

Su Anjian said flatly: "Let's go, I should go back to find her little husband-in-law."

Li Baolu did indeed run back to find Gu Jingyun. She felt that the matter was a bit serious, and she had to go to Gu Jingyun's staff, and it had been a long time since her letter had been sent, so she should reply soon if there are carrier pigeons. Write her a letter ahead of time.

He has already arrived in Kaifeng at this time, that is to say, he set off before they left Kaifeng, why didn't he notify her in advance?

"Master probably wanted to give you a surprise," Gu Jingyun said, "Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is a very pleasant surprise."

Li Baolu: ...

"However, the transmission of news among the people has always been slow. The news of Master's brave journey to Kaifeng will not reach Runing in three days at the earliest, so he only needs to arrive in Runing within three days. He has always traveled quickly, and the journey only takes two days at most, so he We should leave early the morning after tomorrow," Gu Jingyun comforted her and said, "There's no rush, I'll see him in three more days."

Li Baolu wrinkled her nose worriedly and said, "You knew he would be able to escape unscathed? What if he was surrounded by people and couldn't get out? What if he was hunted down?"

"Let's not say that no one can surround him with his light skills, but let's talk about the people he brought along." Gu Jingyun smiled slightly, "I think Master must have brought people who make people dare not think about him."

Li Baolu's eyes widened, "You mean Master has defected to the imperial court?"

"You are the next head of the Lingtian sect, my wife, the prince's wife, and you will be the wife of the imperial court soon, so do you think it is important whether the master joins the court?"

Li Baolu whispered to her fingers: "But you and I don't tell, Master doesn't tell, who knows that I am the head of Lingtian Sect."

"Oh?" Gu Jingyun smiled softly, looked at her softly and asked, "Could it be that lady really wants to be a masked heroine, a thief every night?"

Li Baolu shook her head again and again, coughed lightly and said, "I, I'll just say that, don't think too much about it."

Gu Jingyun just smiled and said nothing, seeing her keep sneaking glances at him, he said helplessly: "Don't worry, Master, the old man is very knowledgeable about current affairs, nothing will happen."

In the past, Bai Yitang was too rigid, and just passed easily. Perhaps it is because he has gotten along with children more these years, and he has softened a lot, and he knows how to weigh the pros and cons. It would put myself in danger, not to mention this kind of fighting spirit, which is a clumsy stimulation method of jumping into it knowing it is a pit.

Since Bai Yitang dared to go, he must have confidence.

They just need to wait in Runing.

"A lot of people have taken back. Not only the property here in Runing can be arranged properly, but also the management of other places can be arranged. When Master arrives in Runing, we can play together."

"So fast? Is this manpower enough?"

"In the past, the manpower was a bit redundant, so I just took this opportunity to streamline it."

Not all the old people are willing to come back, and there are also those who are living well or defected to other masters, and Gu Jingyun will not force them, so the number of people who come back is about one-third of those released before.

But when they came back alone, they brought a bunch of them with them. Fifteen years later, children grew into young people, young people grew into middle-aged people, middle-aged people became old people, and many old people have passed away.

But young people, middle-aged and old people have given birth to many children in the past fifteen years, plus their daughters-in-law, daughters-in-law, and a bunch of people who came back, not only the shop stewards, buddies, even the girls who cleaned the main house, the stewards Mammy, there are all the errand boys.

Moreover, they have to select some of these people and send them to the capital. Qin's mansion is also very short of manpower.

Even if these children were not born in the Qin Mansion, their aptitude is very good under the teaching of their parents, and they can be used after one or two training sessions.

Not to mention the old people in the previous mansion. Sending them to the capital can help my aunt a lot, and can also remotely control the industries in Runing, making the relationship between Runing and the capital closer.

Gu Jingyun has always done things carefully and carefully, and loves to employ people. Even Mo Wang and other managers who have just joined him can safely hand over these things to them. He only needs to check the information and meet those people.

So although he looked busy from morning to night, he was actually not very tired.

Because for him, these things don't take much thought.

This made Li Baolu, who had just gotten used to it for two days, be silent for a long time, and finally turned her grief and anger into appetite, and she ate half a bowl of rice and a chicken drumstick in the evening before giving up.

Li Baolu rubbed her stomach and leaned back on the chair, exhaled comfortably, and said regretfully, "It would be great if there were pickled peppers and peanuts to eat at this time, it's spicy and crispy, the key is to satisfy my hunger."

Zi Shan looked blank, "Biao Madam, what are pickled peppers?" There are quite a few peanuts at home, and if she wants to eat, she goes to the kitchen and asks for a plate.

Gu Jingyun waved his hands before Baolu said more: "Okay, you don't need to wait here, go down."

Zishan and Ziluo responded in a low voice, bowed and retreated.

Gu Jingyun patted her forehead and said: "I just know how to eat it. You write down the recipe and I'll have a look. If I can make it, I'll have someone make it for you to eat."

Li Baolu was dumbfounded, "I don't know how to do it, but you can't go wrong with chili and peanuts, add some salt, add some acid, I don't know if you need soy sauce, uh, and oil, or let people try it all Do it again, maybe you can make something more delicious?"

Gu Jingyun's face was light, "What does the pepper look like?"

Li Baolu looked at the roof sadly at forty-five degrees and said: "That is a spicy ingredient that makes people happy, but it's a pity that it may still be staying in a mountain corner on the opposite side of the sea."

Gu Jingyun didn't ask silly questions like "Since it's still staying in the mountain across the sea, how do you know?" Instead, he discussed with her: "Since it's spicy, why don't you use dogwood, pepper or ginger to make it more delicious?" Instead of giving it a try, maybe it can be done.”

Li Baolu drooled for a while and waved her hand indifferently: "You don't need to worry about this kind of snacks. If you don't have it, you can use something else instead. If you allow me to eat melon seeds, I can forget about it."

"You've been on fire for the past two days, eat less melon seeds." Gu Jingyun handed her the tea that Ziluo had brewed just now, and said, "Drink some tea to beat the fire."

Li Baolu touched her chubby belly and said, "I don't think I can eat any more in it, or it will explode."

Gu Jingyun put the tea on the table, and said: "Then rest for a while before drinking, in short, no more snacks."

Li Baolu looked regretfully at the small plate of melon seeds on the opposite table, it was too painful not to be able to eat melon seeds in winter.

I don't know what Master is doing now, if he is here, he will definitely not stop her, then she can use the excuse of asking Master for advice on kung fu to avoid Gu Jingyun's sight and eat a lot of delicious snacks.

Qin's has a lot of delicious snacks, especially nuts, which are very fragrant and delicious.

Tomorrow, if she sees Jiang Shi, she can praise their snacks again, and she thinks that Niuniu will love them too.

And Bai Yitang, who was missed by Li Baolu, was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the inn, counting the white silver ingots in front of him.

That's right, it's silver ingots, all of which are whole ingots of more than ten taels of silver, and the other broken ones are packed in boxes and piled aside, Bai Yitang waved his hand proudly: "Take it to the bank tomorrow and exchange it for whole silver ingots, it will also free up some space .”

The head guard silently put away the medicinal wine and put on his clothes. He has been defending the ring today, lost twice, and won the rest of the time. His body was bruised and purple, and he was seriously injured.

But looking at the silver ingots in half the room, he nodded without complaining, and then asked, "Are we going to take the silver on the road?"

"Otherwise?" Bai Yitang looked at him sarcastically, "Aren't you afraid of loss if you hand it over to the local officials?"

The head guard nodded, "Then I'll send someone to prepare a few more mule carts."

Bai Yitang waved his hands, "Go, go, remember the car should be strong, this money is not light."

There are a lot of people fighting today, one hundred taels at a time, but the real big head is the three sets of books that he sold. Yes, except for the seven unlucky guys, he sold three sets of military books. Among them, Zheng Jiabao Going for a set.

These people from the rivers and lakes pursued the art of war too highly, so they gave a lot of money, and some of them used things to top them if they had no money.

Bai Yitang never refuses anyone who comes, as long as the value of the item is high enough, he has his own way to turn the item into silver.

When the money owed by the seven thieves is recovered, they will have even more money.

Bai Yitang was elated, thinking that making money is not difficult, at least it is much easier than stealing.

Bai Yitang was happy, but the others were not in such a good mood, "Those guards are too good at their skills, and they wanted to wait for the others to go up first and beat them tired before going on stage, but Bai Yitang and they actually fought for a change." One person, the only one who doesn't change but also the best kung fu, is simply too much!"

"It's impossible to fight, and the money to buy us is not enough. I don't think we need Xiao Xiang's tactics."

"Go grab it!"

"boom"

"bang bang"

There were three head-patting sounds in succession, and a person hated iron and steel and said: "You are so stupid, you dare to fight for Bai Yitang? Let's not say that he is good at martial arts, just look at the imperial guards beside him, do you dare to go?"

"I didn't say rob the white one." The person who was beaten was very aggrieved, "Didn't the two dutiful sons of the Zhengjiabao buy a set of books? Let's steal three copies at night and pass them on to future generations. With the strength of Zheng Jiabao, why don't we let us come and go?"

There was silence in the dark night, and after a while, two voices said in unison: "It makes sense!"
