Chapter 341: Mission
They didn't need money to eat in the store for the time being, and when they stayed in the store, they saved ten taels of silver on the counter, and the silver was not used up for the time being, but after all, they wanted to go out, and it was impossible for them to have no silver on them.

This setback made the two girls very frustrated, and both women were a little afraid, if it wasn't for Liu Han's sudden appearance, the consequences would be unpredictable.
After breakfast, neither girl was interested in going out, but stayed in the room, and the sword fell to her hand.
It was almost noon, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Wanqing asked vigilantly, "Who?"
The people outside seemed to be stunned, and then replied, "May I ask if it's Miss Wen and Miss Qin?"
The two women exchanged glances, Wen Wanyun went over to open the door, and Qin Wanqing stood on the other side with her sword raised.
The door opened, and outside stood a middle-aged scholar, a little fat, with a somewhat round face, wearing a brocade robe embroidered with large lotus flowers.
The round-faced scholar was a little surprised by the vigilance of the two girls, looked at the two girls in amazement, and frowned slightly: "May I ask if it is Wen Nuxia and Qin Nuxia?"
Wen Wanyun breathed a sigh of relief and took a few steps back: "Sir, please come in, Wen Wanyun is down, this is my junior sister Qin Wanqing." ”
The round-faced scholar entered the room, closed the door with his backhand, and then looked at Wen Wanyun and Qin Wanqing and said, "Is the letter from your predecessor Wen Jin there?"
"Who is Mr. Counsel?" asked Wen Wanyun.
"Oh, it's reckless, in Xia Song Gao, it's a friend of Wen Jin's predecessors. Song Gao said and took out the token, this token was a split copper coin, Wen Wanyun took out the other half of the copper coin, and the two halves of the copper coin were put together, without the slightest mistake.
Wen Wanyun breathed a sigh of relief and handed the letter to Song Gao, Song Gao frowned slightly when he saw that the letter was not sealed, and then he was relieved, then took out the letter and explained casually: "I was supposed to come yesterday, but there was something temporary, and I didn't have time, so I ask the two women to forgive me." ”
Wen Wanyun and Qin Wanqing held their breath in their hearts, if he hadn't been a day late, something like that wouldn't have happened last night, but they couldn't say it.
"It doesn't matter. Wen Wanyun said lightly.
Song Gao quickly read the letter, his brows furrowed again, obviously dissatisfied with the content of the letter, and then sighed and handed the letter to Wen Wanyun, Wen Wanyun took it, pretending to read the letter for the first time, Song Gao said: "Your uncle said in the letter, you are in the imperial capital, and I will arrange it, of course, this is also what Uncle Ling meant." ”
"Uncle Shi, dare to ask Mr., why does Uncle Shi want to be like this?" Wen Wanyun frowned slightly, pretending not to understand.
"Many years ago, I once did Wen Jin's seniors a favor, and my seniors promised that if there was anything in the future, I would definitely help, so this time I asked Wen Jin's seniors for help, and the seniors sent two heroines to come, but if the two heroines didn't want to, they didn't dare to force it?" Song Gao explained slowly.
Wen Wanyun and Qin Wanqing exchanged glances, both of them saw the confusion and puzzlement in each other's eyes, why did the letter mention King Qin, but this Song Gao took the matter on himself, hesitated for a moment, Wen Wanyun asked, "I don't know what Mr. wants us to do?"
Song Gao was silent for a while, and then said: "If the two heroines are willing to contribute, I should naturally tell the truth, if not, the two heroines can return to Jiangnan, and they will not blame them, and they are still very grateful." ”
Obviously, this means that they will only be told what they want to do.
Wen Wanyun pulled Qin Wanqing to the side to discuss.
"Since Uncle Shi said it, then let's do our best for Mr., and then go back. ”
"But.... , how does this feel weird. Wen Wanyun had a lot of doubts in her heart, and she really wanted to do it, but how could she explain it to her uncle when she went back?
"Why do you care so much, the master let us experience in the rivers and lakes, this is also a kind of experience, besides, we are not..."Qin Wanqing reminded in a low voice.
Of course, Wen Wanyun understood that her pockets were empty, and it was impossible to return to Jiangnan by throwing away those few clothes, so she hesitated, raised her head and asked, "May I ask sir, I don't know how long it will take?"
"Two to three months is fine. Song Gao said, watching the two women discuss in a low voice, I couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied, Suyimen actually sent two novices with little experience in the rivers and lakes over, which inevitably gave people a perfunctory feeling.
"Yes! Wen Wanyun agreed, Song Gao thought for a moment and said: "This time the incident is to protect the grain ship, what happened in the imperial capital in the past few months, I guess you have also heard about it, but I am afraid you don't know the inside story." ”
Wen Wanyun and Qin Wanqing were a little puzzled, what does it mean to guard the grain ship? And what is the relationship with the recent incident of the Wind and Rain Tower?
"Last year, Xiaoyu of Fengyulou teamed up with Luoma Shuizhai to expel the Cao Gang back to Jiangnan, and then joined hands with Hanhai Trading Company to form a shipping trading company, controlling the waterway from Pengcheng to the imperial capital, this waterway is a famous golden waterway, but I didn't expect that last month, several gate valve families in Jizhou shot and knocked down Fengyulou, and then Liu Han, the shopkeeper of Hanhai Trading Company, showed amazing cultivation, defeated the attacks of several families in Jizhou, and held the shipping trading company, simply put, this golden waterway is now controlled in the hands of Liu Han of Hanhai Trading Company. ”
These are almost all open secrets, but before, the two had never connected these things, and listening to Song Gao's words at this moment, I felt a little like listening to the secrets of the rivers and lakes, which deeply attracted the two girls.
"However, the problem now is that although Liu Han's cultivation is high, his strength is insufficient, from Pengcheng to the imperial capital, thousands of miles of waterways, if someone ambushes on the waterway, the grain ship will inevitably be hit hard, and the Hanhai Trading Company may be convicted for this.
I have a little friendship with Liu Han of Hanhai Trading Company, he asked me to help find a few masters, of course I can't shirk it, I originally wanted to ask your uncle to come to help, but since your uncle can't come, send two women to come over to help, thank you very much!"
At this point, Wen Wanyun and Qin Wanqing understood the whole story, and the two girls frowned in unison, Liu Han has the cultivation of a top-grade grandmaster, and with his own strength, he can resist several families in Jizhou, and with his own martial arts and low-grade cultivation, what can he do to help him? ?
Song Gao didn't speak, just looked at them quietly, and after a while, the two girls nodded: "Since Uncle Shi has ordered, our sisters will naturally obey their orders." ”
"Okay, pack up your things, check out immediately, and go to Changfeng Street, Song's wine shop. ”
Song Gao turned around and left, the two women still had a lot of doubts in their hearts, and the two women stopped asking and began to pack up their things, their things were not much, and they quickly packed up.
The checkout came out, ten taels of silver and eight taels were returned, the two women got the silver, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, after going out, they didn't dare to call a carriage, and the two women went down the street towards Changfeng Street.
Changfeng Street is at the junction of the north of the city and the west of the city, it is very quiet, it is not a commercial area, there are many residents around, the Song family wine shop is the largest restaurant nearby, there are two floors of small buildings, and there is also a courtyard behind it.
After the guy in the store learned that the two girls were looking for Song Gao, he introduced the two girls into the backyard, and the two girls went to the backyard only to find that the backyard was not wide, and they were puzzled, Song Gao appeared in front of him, waved the guy back, and took the two girls out from the corner door next to him.
After going out, the two girls found that they had entered another courtyard, which was larger and more beautiful, and from the corner gate path, on both sides were beautifully trimmed flowers and plants, and the trees were full of trees, revealing a hint of elegance and tranquility.
The courtyard was very quiet, and there was no movement in the courtyard, so Song Gao took the two girls through the corridor and arrived at a small courtyard.
Song Gao pushed open the door of the main house and said to the two women: "You stay here for a few days first, and some friends are going to come to participate in this operation, they will come in three days, and when the time comes, I will introduce you again." ”
The two women looked at the room, the room furnishings were relatively simple, a bed, a small square table, with a few round cushions, two low cabinets against the wall, and nothing else.
"What can I tell the next person," Song Gao said and clapped his hands, and after a while, a middle-aged servant woman appeared in front of the door, the middle-aged servant woman wore the clothes of the subordinate, lowered her head, and bowed deeply to the three people, Song Gao continued: "Her name is Gui Niang, if you have anything, just tell her," Speaking of this, he paused slightly: "Two women, if there is nothing to do, please don't go out of this courtyard, now the situation in the imperial capital is treacherous, you are secretly acting this time, and you can't let outsiders know before the boat starts." ”
Wen Wanyun frowned slightly and asked, "I wonder how many friends came this time?"
"Seven or eight. Song Gao replied, the two women looked at each other, and Wen Wanyun nodded: "Okay!"
Song Gao didn't say anything, turned around and went out, Gui Niang also retreated, and the two girls put their bags in the cabinet, and then sat at the door of the room and looked at the quiet courtyard.
After being silent for a while, Qin Wanqing finally couldn't help but speak: "Senior sister, this thing is a bit strange. ”
Wen Wanyun didn't answer, and Qin Wanqing said again: "Senior sister, senior uncle never said that this is called Song Gao, let..."
"Senior sister, don't say it again," Wen Wanyun sighed: "We're already here, besides, this letter was handed over to us by Uncle Shi himself, there will be nothing wrong with this, and the handwriting on it is also Uncle Shi's, there will be no mistake." ”
Qin Wanqing hugged her knees and looked at the magnolia that was already in bloom in the courtyard, and sighed faintly: "I always feel that there is something wrong with it, if only the master was here." ”
Wen Wanyun shook her head lightly, her heart was also full of many questions that she couldn't find answers, but since the master had orders, she could only carry them out.
In the next two days, the two women's football teams did not leave the house, every day in the yard, the two women seized the time to practice swords, that Gui Niang was like a robot, delivered meals on time every day, took the clothes of the two to wash, and then disappeared, as if there was no such person.
...........
...........
Liu Han has been relatively carefree in the past two days, Wang Xutian's three families still have no action, although they know where they are hiding, but the situation inside the house cannot be figured out, and the situation of personnel entering and exiting is not clear, he will not break in easily, he must first find out the people in the house, but now he really can't mobilize manpower to monitor that place.
Brother Hu, they are still near the mysterious yard, the yard is still not sold, the sign for sale is still hanging at the door, the people of the tooth shop kept taking people at the beginning, but every time they were disappointed, and now they gradually rarely take people to go.
Liu Han didn't dare to let Brother Tiger and them leave that place, if these beggars left suddenly, in case they aroused suspicion, the problem would be a big problem, and now he was competing with that person, his biggest advantage was that he knew about that person's existence, but that person didn't know his existence.
Of course, he didn't give up the monitoring of Li Yan, after the courtyard disappeared, Li Yan didn't go to that place again, and now he rarely goes out of the camp, and supervises training in the barracks every day, training his team of soldiers miserably, and the soldiers complain, but they don't openly confront again.
After Zhen Niang went to Yangzhou, Baigongfang seemed to have disappeared, as if she had never been in contact with them.
Xu Yuan bought three products from Baigongfang, Hanhai Trading Company signed an agreement with Baigongfang, Baigongfang received 30% of the sales profits, which is already a small amount, Baigongfang generally has to divide 4 to 50% of the profits, and more may reach 70%, but the 30% of Hanhai Trading Company is already a concession.
