After an unknown amount of time, Lin Wanrong slowly woke up and saw that the Grand Mistress was looking at him with her bright eyes. He didn't know what she was thinking about.
Lin Wanrong yawned and said, "Grand Mistress, what time is it? Oh, what time is it?"
Aside from a few silver coins and the erotic picture book that he carried with him, he didn't have anything else on him. He went into battle with light clothes and slept very comfortably. Yesterday, in order to make the Grand Mistress feel at ease, the bandit leader didn't even search Lin Wanrong's body and only sealed the two people's acupuncture points.
The two of them were locked in the carriage and couldn't move. The carriage didn't allow light to pass through, so it was difficult to know what time it was. When the Grand Mistress saw that he was awake, she said, "I don't know what time it is, but it's been at least eight hours."
"How do you know?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously.
The Grand Mistress's face turned red and said, "I don't rest more than eight hours a day. When the time is up, I automatically wake up."
So it was a biological clock. Lin Wanrong nodded. If that was the case, didn't that mean that they had been walking for eight hours since they left the city? Where was the bandit leader taking them? They actually walked so far? And from the shape of the carriage, it was high up and low down, as if they were climbing a mountain.
Just as he was thinking, he saw that the curtain of the carriage was pulled open. The bandit leader senior martial brother and another woman entered the carriage and carried the two of them out.
The Grand Mistress was fine, but Lin Wanrong was being carried by the Grand Senior martial brother, but he didn't show the slightest mercy and grabbed him so hard that it hurt. Damn it, I will castrate you sooner or later, Lin Wanrong cursed in his heart.
After getting out of the carriage, Lin Wanrong looked around and found that they were halfway up a mountain. This mountain was also very high. From a distance, it seemed that the top couldn't be seen.
In the early winter morning, the fog slowly rose and surrounded the mountainside. Lin Wanrong could not help but feel a chill. As for the Grand Mistress, she was also shivering from the cold. When she saw Lin Wanrong looking at her tenderly, her eyes reddened, but she held back her tears, not letting them fall.
The White Lotus bandits led the two people up the mountain. When they reached the top, the scenery in front of them changed. At the top of the mountain, there were several rows of houses hidden among the green mountains and trees. If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't notice it. Seeing that these thieves seemed to be very familiar with this place, Lin Wanrong knew that this must be their temporary lair.
The leader of the bandits said to Xiao Yuruo, "Grand Mistress, if that's the case, I'll have to trouble you for a few days to stay here temporarily. When the Xiao Family has gathered enough gold, I will let you out. "
Damn it, it sounds better than a song. If it was so easy, why did you go through so much trouble to bring us here? Lin Wanrong had this thought in his heart, but he certainly wouldn't say it out loud. His little life was still in the hands of others.
There were very few houses on this mountain. The bandit leader arranged for Lin Wanrong and the Grand Mistress to live in two connected places. The Grand Mistress was placed in a big room, which had two connecting rooms. Although it was simple and crude, it had all the bedding and necessities needed. Lin Wanrong's room was empty.
Lin Wanrong snorted in his heart. Damn it, these White Lotus bandits are so snobbish. One day, I will destroy you all.
There was an iron gate connecting the two cells, but it was locked and couldn't be opened. In this way, the two could see each other through the bars, but they couldn't be together. Lin Wanrong always felt a little strange. Xiao Yuruo also blushed. This arrangement made it seem like the two of them were in the same room. But now that the two of them were prisoners, what else could they ask for?
These two cells were made of large stones. Apart from the main door, there wasn't even a window. It was completely impossible to escape. On the main door, there was a small hole. From time to time, the people watching from the outside would look in. Even if Lin Wanrong had unlimited magical powers, there was no way he could escape.
He was really going to die. Lin Wanrong sat on the ground, feeling a little depressed. At the same time, he also remembered the note that Qin Xian 'er sent yesterday. He remembered that the girl had reminded him to leave the Xiao Family earlier. It was just that he was busy making perfume at that time, so he didn't notice these things. Yesterday, he was also unlucky. He was busy at the perfume workshop, the Xiao Family's courtyard, and the restaurant, so he didn't receive such an important message.
Damn it, this is the consequence of poor information. Are there any man-made mobile phones? I will buy ten of them. He thought about it for a while.
From the current situation, Qin Xian 'er must have some relationship with the White Lotus Sect. But her repeated warnings also seemed to be very affectionate.
Lin Wanrong deeply reflected on this matter. On the one hand, it was because of poor information. On the other hand, it was related to his lack of ability to protect himself.
Speaking of self-protection, he thought of Xiao Qingxuan's superb skills. If possible, it would be best to find two bodyguards like her. Then, there would be nothing to be afraid of. He just didn't know how much it would cost to hire such a bodyguard. He knew that Xiao Qingxuan came from a noble family and was living in Jinling for the time being. It was impossible for him to hire her as his bodyguard, but it shouldn't be wrong to ask her to recommend a few people who were as skilled as her.
Lin Wanrong's imagination was pretty good, but he didn't know that Xiao Qingxuan was one of the top figures in Jianghu. Not to mention those who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her, even those who had 80% of her skills were rare.
Lin Wanrong was now in a dangerous situation. His martial arts were not as good as hers, so he could only use his brain. Thinking about this robbery, the bandits of the White Lotus Sect obviously came prepared. Not only did they capture the Grand Mistress, but they also seemed to be interested in him. And what was on him that they were interested in?
Was it because he was too handsome and had the qualifications to be a male prostitute? F * ck, just thinking about it made him sick.
He focused his gaze on his enemies again. There was some enmity between him and Cheng Duannian, but there was no real conflict. Moreover, it was because of Qin Xian 'er, so he definitely wouldn't get involved with the Xiao Family.
The other person was Tao Dongcheng. There was a conflict with him, but he was related to the Xiao Family. It could only be this one with the surname Tao. But Tao Dongcheng's father was a Suzhou weaving manufacturer, and he himself was just a cloth merchant. How could he be related to the White Lotus Sect? And I, Lin San, am just a small servant. I just had a few words with him. Was it worth it for him to use the White Lotus Sect? Besides, if he really didn't like me, wouldn't it be better to just kill me on the spot? Why did he bother to invite me here?
The Grand Mistress saw that he didn't speak for a long time, as if he was deep in thought. She was now in the cell, sitting in boredom. Only this annoying servant was accompanying her, so she felt less lonely.
"Lin San, you, what are you thinking about?" The Grand Mistress rarely opened her mouth to ask him. This time, she was still not used to it.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Grand Mistress, it's rare for you to have such a leisurely time."
Xiao Yuruo was stunned. After a long silence, she said, "Indeed, it seems like I haven't sat quietly like this for a long time." As the head of the Xiao Family, she had been busy worrying about the Xiao Family's matters since she was fifteen or sixteen years old. She had long lost the mood to sit idle and be carefree. Now that this disaster had given her some free time, but this kind of free time was unavoidably a little too frightening. She could only smile bitterly.
"Grand Mistress, a person's life is not only about work. There are many other beautiful things worth doing. For example, family, family. These are all more important than work. Don't push yourself too hard. Learn to relax and learn to enjoy. A person's life is very short. If there is no happiness, then it would be a waste of life. "Lin Wanrong calmly said.
"Hmph, you, I don't know where all these emotions come from." The Grand Mistress harrumphed and said. Her heart was indeed very happy. She felt that his words were very intimate. But looking at his calm face, could it be that he wasn't afraid in his heart? This fierce servant was always hard to see through.
"A person's life is bound to experience many different kinds of hardships. Just like this time, don't think too much. Just treat this as a short journey. After it's over, everything will be fine. "Lin Wanrong advised her.
The Grand Mistress felt that his theory was very strange. She retorted, "Then aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid. Of course I'm afraid." Lin Wanrong generously admitted, "Everyone is afraid of death. This is normal, but fear can't change the truth."
Xiao Yuruo harrumphed. She knew that what he said was the truth. She suddenly thought of something and said, "Lin San, were you with Yushuang yesterday?"
Lin Wanrong looked at her expression and knew what she wanted to say. But after last night's matter, he couldn't abandon that little girl no matter what. He didn't answer her question and asked, "Grand Mistress, you are the second miss' older sister, but do you really understand her?"
Xiao Yuruo said, "I grew up with her, so of course I understand her. She is still a child. You shouldn't harm her again. "
Lin Wanrong frowned and said, "Grand Mistress, I don't like what you're saying. I have never harmed the second miss, not in the past, and not in the future. Before yesterday, I was like you, thinking that she was still a child. But later I found out that I was wrong. I underestimated her. She worries about her mother and sister every day and prays for the Xiao Family every day. For the person she likes, she can sacrifice her life. "
Xiao Yuruo was about to speak, but Lin Wanrong waved his hand to stop her, "To be honest, Grand Mistress, if it weren't for the second miss treating me well, I would never care about your Xiao Family's matters."
Hearing him speak to her in such a tone, Xiao Yuruo was very angry. But seeing his calm expression, which was completely different from his usual wicked appearance, made people feel a faint fear. The Grand Mistress was surprised. How did he change so much? I still like talking to him like that.
"This, Lin San, let's not talk about this. Now that we are in prison, talking about this will spoil the mood. "Xiao Yuruo said weakly.
"Not only are we in prison, but it can also be regarded as a man and a woman in a room together. Grand Mistress, this is a blessing that we have cultivated for three lifetimes. "Lin Wanrong seemed to have recovered his original character and began to talk flirtatiously again.
The Grand Mistress's heart trembled slightly. What he said was right. Although there was an unbreakable iron door between the two of them, it made the atmosphere more charming. But seeing him tease her like this, Xiao Yuruo was very angry and said angrily, "Lin San, don't you dare to be frivolous with me. If you speak like this again, I will, I will —"
"You will move out to live, right?" Lin Wanrong laughed. In this cell, it was very interesting to see the proud Grand Mistress get angry.
The Grand Mistress blushed. She snorted and ignored him.
"Has the Tao Family contacted you recently, Grand Mistress?" Lin Wanrong's voice calmed down again, but the Grand Mistress felt that there was a sense of wisdom in this voice.
Xiao Yuruo didn't know why he asked these questions, so she replied, "They didn't contact me, nor did they mention the alliance."
Since Tao Dongcheng confessed his love, he hadn't contacted the Xiao Family or mentioned the alliance. This seemed a little strange. The calmer the Tao Family was, the more extraordinary this matter was.
"Does the Tao Family know about the cheongsam that the Xiao Family recently launched?" Lin Wanrong paced slowly in his cell and asked.
Leaning against the iron window, Xiao Yushuang saw his movements and thought, "Can you figure it out just like this?" He frowned, but she didn't feel like resisting. She just said, "These things spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. I think they should know about it."
Lin Wanrong stopped, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He said word by word, "Do they also know about the perfume?"
Xiao Yuruo saw the hidden killing intent between his eyebrows, and she suddenly felt a little afraid. She only felt that Lin San was very far away from her at this time. She didn't want to lose her reputation in front of Lin San, so she snorted and said, "How would I know?"
Seeing Lin San staring at her coldly, she couldn't help but soften and said softly, "How can these things be hidden from others? They will naturally know that we want to promote the perfume." She suddenly realized something and was shocked. She said, "Are you suspecting Tao Dongcheng?"
Seeing that Lin Wanrong was silent, Xiao Yuruo frowned and said, "Although I don't have a deep relationship with this Prince Tao, this Prince Tao treats people kindly, and he comes from a family of officials. How can he be associated with this evil man of the White Lotus Sect? Don't try to guess people's minds. "
The corner of Lin Wanrong's mouth rose into a cold smile. "People's minds? In this world, the most difficult thing to guess is the word 'people'. "
He let out a long sigh and shook his head. Damn it, if this matter is really as I imagined, then it won't be simple.
The two of them were imprisoned in the room for a day and a night. It wasn't until the evening of the second day that the door to Lin Wanrong's cell opened. A disciple of the White Lotus Sect called out from outside, "Lin San, come out."
It's coming, it's coming, it's coming? Lin Wanrong smiled coldly, got up and walked out.
Xiao Yuruo seemed to realize something and hurriedly called out, "Lin San, don't go — —" Lin Wanrong turned his head, smiled at her, and strode out the door.
