Chapter 9
Yingchun was about to pull her back immediately, but she remembered another thing and asked: "Do you still have any money?"
"Some, I thought that the lady might be short of money outside, so I carried her with me with me."
Liu Luoying took the purse from the maid and said, "You wait for me outside the inn first. I will call my second cousin and I will go there later."
After saying that, she quickly went downstairs, found the inn shopkeeper, and put ten taels of silver on the counter: "I want to redeem the dagger from yesterday."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his face immediately pulled down. After all, as long as anyone who knows the goods can see that the value of the dagger is far more than ten taels of silver.
In the end, it took her three times the price to redeem the knife.
She put the dagger on her body and planned to go to the backyard to find her second cousin, but as soon as she got closer, she heard a low voice in the yard.
"Young Master, you have arranged everything according to your instructions."
Immediately afterwards, there was a very familiar voice.
It was Luo Ting, his tone was as calm and cold as usual, and he said with a faint "um" and said, "You should keep a close eye on the recent situation in Nanling. The Jin soldiers will not be satisfied and only plunder here. Their next target is likely to be outside the pass."
Liu Luoying felt aroused in her heart. She was a person who had lived for a lifetime. Naturally, she understood that the subsequent movements of the Jin soldiers were almost the same as what Luo Ting said.
She thought carefully about Luo Ting's words, but she didn't pay attention to her feet for a while, and accidentally knocked down something and made a sound.
The two people in the yard shouted at the same time: "Who?!"
Liu Luoying didn't plan to come up with it, but after all, she would be embarrassed to encounter such a thing. If she meets someone who is cruel, she might even kill someone to silence her.
But now that she was discovered, she didn't have time to hide, so she could only walk out openly and shouted: "Second cousin."
When Luo Ting saw that it was her, Qinghan looked a little slow and told the person beside him: "You go first."
The man immediately responded, pointed his toes and easily rushed out of the yard.
"Don't tell anyone what I just saw."
In fact, even without Luo Ting's instructions, she would never tell the matter out.
My second cousin is walking on thin ice in the Luo family now, and my grandfather is still doubting his identity. If he knows, he will probably completely confirm his suspicion.
Luo Ting had saved her so many times, and she could never push him to such a dangerous situation. He nodded and said, "Second cousin, I won't tell you, don't worry."
After saying that, she remembered the purpose of this time, and hurriedly took out the dagger in her arms and handed it to him: "Yingchun came to find me, saying that the people from the Liu family and Luo family are now settling outside the city to pick us up. I redeem this from the shopkeeper by the way. Don't take it out as a casual act in the future."
Luo Ting lowered his eyes and looked at the dagger in her hand, his expression was a little dim and unclear. He took it after a while. He didn't say anything more, and just said, "Let's go."
Bao Xia already knew that she had found the lady and went to hire a carriage.
Luo Ting was inconvenient to sit in the carriage, so he sat with the groom outside the carriage, hugging Xia and Yingchun with Liu Luoying.
Yingchun carefully lifted the curtain, secretly glanced at Luo Ting, then turned around and asked in a low voice: "Miss, have you been with Mr. Luo yesterday?"
Liu Luoying thought it was, but she thought of the oath she had made and turned around: "He and I met in the inn today."
Yingchun suddenly seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "When the master found out yesterday, there were fewer people in the Luo family. The master thought that the lady had been with him for so long, but the lady had nothing to do with her. She would be fine after she went back. After she got back, she would explain to the master and she would be fine."
Liu Luoying naturally knew what Yingchun was worried about. She was still an unmarried daughter's house and was separated from the man for a day and a night. If she said this, even if nothing happened, no one would believe it if she said it.
The carriage was swaying and soon arrived at the place where he was stationed outside the city. As soon as Liu Luoying got off the car, she saw Liu Qingqing head-on.
Liu Qingqing obviously didn't sleep well last night and looked very haggard. After seeing her, she became happy and ran towards her quickly, raised her hand and knocked her hard on her head: "You girl, where did you go yesterday? No matter how hard I look for you, do you know how worried I am about you?"
"Sister." Liu Luoying held Liu Qingqing's hand and acted coquettishly. "I was too messy yesterday. I didn't know where I was, so I could only hide in the forest. When I came out, you all had left. I was too scared and dared not rush to travel overnight. So I went to Nanling for one night. Don't be angry."
Liu Qingqing was not angry, but she was too worried about her sister's safety. Her heart that had been hanging suddenly fell back. She muttered and pulled her sister into the tent: "I didn't eat well yesterday, and I didn't sleep well. Yingchun, bring the porridge from this morning again and again, carry Xia, and bring all the previous snacks!"
Liu Luoying followed her sister, but she accidentally caught Luo Ting on the side from the corner of her eyes.
There was not a single person from the Luo family. He simply thanked the coachman and Yingchun, and walked to the Luo family's tent alone, with loneliness and desertion on his back.
Liu Luoying opened her mouth and was about to call him when she saw Liu Qingqing turn around and asked with some doubt: "You have been with Luo Ting last night?"
"No." She shook her head and denied, "I met him this morning. I had a little fever. He helped me catch some medicine. Sister, I will give my second cousin a meal. After all, he has taken care of me a lot."
"You're still getting fever?"
Liu Qingqing's focus was completely different from Liu Luoying. She immediately became nervous and greeted the servants in a stack of voices: "Go, bring the back mattress in the carriage, put it on Luoying, and get a few cloaks, and turn the stove a little more vigorously, so boil the Fenghanling a bowl!"
The willow cherry blossoms were wrapped in several layers thickly and stuffed into the tent, which was quite amused and crying.
The fire dispelled a lot of coldness. She held her hands, but her thoughts were still on Luo Ting.
The man who was talking to him in the yard looked familiar. She had been recalling it on the way back, and finally remembered it. He was a subordinate of Luo Ting's powerful subordinate, his right and left hand, who helped him do a lot of things.
Now it seems that they have already been in contact at this time.
She couldn't help but remember Lin Peiyan's evaluation of her second cousin: meticulous and strategic planning are rare and amazing talents!
Now it seems that I have started to deploy my own personnel so early, but I can't miss it in front of outsiders. I even accept all the insults and cold treatments. I can tolerate and have the skills. Such a person is indeed worthy of the saying "shocking and amazing".
Yingchun soon brought the medicine and snacks.
As soon as she saw the black medicine, she felt bitter in her mouth. Yingchun advised from the side: "Miss, although this medicine is a little bitter, it works quickly. The master just received the news that the Jin soldiers had a new trend and were about to be called, which made people panic, so they had to speed up the process and hurry to the old house."
Liu Luoying knew that in this situation, it seemed dangerous, but in fact it was very safe.
The Jin soldiers will go down the river next, and Nanling has been burned by war now, so the Jin people will not be interested in turning back and robbing them.
