Chapter 83, Praying Mantis Catch the Cicada
The moonlight is like practice, and the dew is deeper.
The girl in purple tiptoed out of the inn from the window and landed quietly.After a pause, she raised her head to make a careful distinction, and confirmed that the seventh young man sleeping next door hadn't noticed any movement.
Tie Xinlan is going to an appointment.
While riding a horse through the streets during the day, a pitiful girl with thin arms and thin legs and a dirty face like a little beggar suddenly jumped out of the crowd and fell on the ground in front of her, refusing to get up again.
When chestnuts are well-behaved, they are really well-behaved.
It has always paced slowly and even avoided the crowd, and the horse's hoof never touched a single hair of the little girl.
But that girl was crying with snot and tears... Even if she knew that the other party was Pengci and pointed at the people around her, people with thin skins and softer hearts would think they were unlucky.
The unlucky iron girl took some broken silver and followed the path pointed by the girl during the day to find the only brick house in the deserted village of huts in the south of the city.
The faded red-lacquered wooden door didn't close at all, and opened with a slight push.
Xinlan looked around, didn't see any ambush, but didn't go in, just stood at the door and asked leisurely: "Is anyone there?"
No one answered.
It was pitch black inside, with no lights, and no one could be seen clearly.
The girl shrugged her shoulders and raised her brows lightly: "Then I'll put the money outside. Next time, remember to change someone else. I don't look like I'm very rich." After speaking, she really turned around and was about to leave.
A little girl ran out with a thump, her big eyes blinking: "Sister, don't go." The voice was soft and soft, which could arouse pity.
"Don't do this, and don't call me sister..." Xinlan got goosebumps when she heard it, and muttered: "Every time someone calls me sister for no reason, it's because they want to hurt me; Sister, there is no good one either."
The girl looked at her wanting to cry or not: "Sister, I know you are angry, but my family members are sick, and I can't help it... Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow Stolen..."
As she was talking, the golden bean fell down: "Sister, you look so good-looking, like a kind-hearted fairy...I can only ask the fairy sister to come and give us money at night."
"..." Xinlan was silent.
How about you save this to the little fairy to perform?
Xinlan looked down at this little ghost with a half-smile, "Next time you lie like this, don't cry and speak so clearly and fluently, you are even more eloquent than adults!"
"Sister, don't you believe me?" The girl blinked a pair of big black and white eyes and wanted to pull Tie Xinlan's skirt.
After being avoided, she said quietly: "You can go in with me and take a look... I have a sick grandma inside. I told her that a kind person saw me pitiful. I will send money...Grandma, she still wants to thank you!"
The girl seemed a little hesitant, and after a while, she said softly: "Since you have said so... well, then I will go and have a look, if it is true... then I will give the money more happily."
"I'll show you the way." The girl was overjoyed immediately, but her face was calm.
As soon as the little girl turned around and stepped over the threshold, Iron Girl's slender hands pinched her immature shoulder blades.The next moment, a delicate and thin lancet lay across her neck: "I think it's more at ease to go in like this."
The girl was really scared this time, her body trembling: "Sister, what are you doing? I'm scared... I just want to take you in to visit my old lady!"
"I'm afraid your grandma has a different name, why don't you call her grandma Xiong?" Xinlan sneered, pushed her to the courtyard of the dilapidated house, and shouted: "Grandma, I've come here specially to buy chestnuts, this time But I have brought enough silver to teach you how to make a fortune!"
Knowing that she had been found out, the girl bit her lip and dared not move again.
In the darkness, a shriveled black shadow emerged from the house. The black shadow came out step by step, and gradually stood up straight... Finally, she stood three steps away and slowly lifted her face. The human skin丨mask.
——Isn't this young and beautiful face exactly Gongsun Lan?
Thinking that the other party cheated her so much hard-earned money, even if it turned into ashes, Iron Girl would recognize it.
She had already noticed that it was a trap, and even wandered around to give the other party a chance.Going to the appointment alone on purpose tonight, I don't want to startle the snake.
"Let this little girl go." Gongsun Lan said coldly.
"Give me the money, or you'll tear up the ticket." Xinlan raised her eyebrows slightly.
"You—" Gongsun Lan was a little annoyed.
She let out a breath slowly, and her tone became colder: "I have tolerated you enough, and I don't intend to hurt your life. Don't do these boring things."
Xinlan curled her lips, doubting what she said, but she let go of the girl and reprimanded: "Go further away, if there is a fight later, I will not show mercy to a child like you who is not like a child! "
The girl glanced at Gongsun Lan.
Gongsun Lan nodded and waved her away.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive and stagnant.
Gongsun Lan pursed her lips: "I don't have the heart to chat with you... I just want to ask you a few things. If you tell me, I will let you go. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, I will help you. I will never come here to provoke you..." Glancing at the girl's unhappy expression, he gritted his teeth and added, "I'll give you double the money."
——She really couldn't figure it out, how could there be such a girl?
Xinlan hummed lightly, very demeanor of a creditor: "If you even bring interest on the principal, you can consider it... Let me be honest, I'm a little sleepy at night." She yawned.
Gongsun Lan wondered: "I won't lose to Su Rongrong who is beside Chu Liuxiang in my disguise. Why can you see through it easily?"
Tie Xinlan stretched out her feet: "Who told you people with red shoes to always wear red shoes on their feet? Just now, the little girl was dressed in tatters like a beggar, and her face was painted with ashes, but the shoes on her feet were not. Clean and sophisticated."
Gongsun Lan frowned, and snorted coldly: "Last time I pretended to be an old woman and sold chestnuts to you. It was dark and I bent my back. There was no way you could see my shoes!"
"Hmm... are you asking this?" The girl smiled slyly: "Of course it's a trick to you."
Seeing the other person's complexion is extremely bad, she feels even happier.
After a pause, he turned his back on the guest, and slowly said: "You came to me because of it, didn't you? At the beginning, you just wanted to scare me into asking questions, so there was no poison in the chestnut but you pretended to be poisonous, right?"
She spread out her palm, and in her palm was a pink tourmaline.
Seeing the tourmaline, Gongsun Lan wanted to reach out, but the girl avoided it.She was not annoyed at all, but hurriedly asked: "Where did the person who gave you this gem go? And the red embroidered shoes you have been wearing these days, did she ask you to wear them to find us?"
Iron Girl shook her head: "I asked you first, you should answer me first."
Gongsun Lan endured it, holding her breath and said: "She...since she gave you the token, she naturally trusts you. If you are willing to join the religion, I can tell you anything."
Xinlan caressed the tourmaline in her hand, recalled it again and again, and was a little puzzled: "The 'she' you mentioned...doesn't it really refer to Mimi Xiao? That one of the top ten villains, who recruits male favorites to be the queen...It's so amazing that people don't pay for their lives Mimi Xiao?"
At first, Gongsun Lan's face was extremely excited when she heard the name, tears even glistened in her beautiful eyes.
After hearing the next few words, an angry expression suddenly appeared: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can such a lewd and vicious woman be compared with Sister Xiao? If it wasn't for the fact that I was still young when she became famous, and when I mastered martial arts, she would I don't know which corner I hid in... I will kill that bitch who dares to have the same name as Sister Xiao!"
"...So, you haven't seen 'that' Xiao Mimi at all?" Xin Lan frowned, and said in deliberation: "I didn't deliver the gemstone to me personally, but if you want me to say that this tourmaline Who gave it to me... plus the description of the person who helped to donate it! I really only want to know her."
Gongsun Lan opened her mouth, but remained silent.
She seemed to be greatly stimulated, even though Miss Tie had never had any good feelings for her since she knew the other party's identity, at this time she felt some subtle pity for no reason.
She sighed: "I'm not sure if the Xiao Mimi I've seen is the same one you've been looking for. Even if it is, I'm not friends with her. Why did she give this... token, She gave it to me and let me wear red shoes to the capital, I don't know...I never saw her again."
Gongsun Lan pursed her lips, her eye sockets turned red.
Xinlan suppressed the trace of sympathy, and approached the other party cautiously: "I know that you have many aliases and have done a lot of evil things... Is that 'Embroidered Thief' of late, really you?"
She was ready to arrest her and go back to the six gates for trial if the other party confessed—of course, it wasn't really for any reward.
Gongsun Lan seemed to be dumb.
After a while, she just shook her head and said in a trembling voice, "You go."
The girl stuffed the tourmaline into her hand and left it for the other party to think about.
After a pause, the other hand tightly squeezed the only remaining lancet, and said softly: "You..." She believed in the other party in her heart, but the embroidered thief committed a heinous crime, "The female butcher, the peach blossom bee, the five poisonous lady , Ecstasy mother-in-law" These are the incarnations of the other party, so how good is it?
But at this moment, a hard fight might not be won by force, it seems that she specially made up lies to stimulate the other party, so as to catch them off guard.
After hesitating for a moment, Xinlan still decided to give up: "I will come to you again in a few days. There are indeed quite a few of you with red shoes. If you continue to behave like this arrogantly... I really want to find you, but I can't escape. of."
"Lie...Hmph, I'm afraid none of you will be able to leave tonight!"
At this moment, a cold and deep male voice sounded.
The two women who had let down their vigilance were startled, they had a bad secret, and immediately put on guard.
The next moment, Jin Jiuling, dressed in black, rushed into the dilapidated brick house with the police who had been ambushing for a long time... Surrounding them with embroidered spring knives, the tip of the sharp knife was shining coldly.
