Chapter 248: Soil and Water Don't Agree?

ngxuan still carefully sprinkled the medicine on the wound."What You still want to unbutton my clothes I dare to unbutton them, do you dare to look" Xiao Yuge feigned retreat and advanced, reaching ou..."What, fake" Xiao Yuge subconsciously covered her mouth, afraid of being heard by others, and rolled her eyes at him: "You're really something. You dare to use a fake badge to deceive people on someone else's turf What if they find out A strong dragon can't beat a local snake!"

"What are you afraid of This is practically real!" Qian Tingxuan smiled and handed the token to Mingyang to keep.

Xiao Yu Ge, where would he know, Qian Ting Xuan is the master of Lei Ting Ge, which sect's token doesn't he have in his hand

"Where are we going now" Xiao Yuge curiously looked out at the bustling marketplace. It seemed quite lively.

"First, find an inn to stay at, and then slowly inquire about the situation."

So, they checked into an inn called Yuelai and secretly inquired about the private salt trade. However, at first, they had no leads or clues to follow.

I don't know if it was due to acclimatization issues, but Qing Luo fell ill the day after arriving. She had a fever and vomited constantly. Xiao Yuge was very worried and prescribed medicine, but it only provided some relief from the symptoms.

Having no other choice, she used her identity to leave a coded message and secretly contacted Lin Lang.

"Attend to the master's post!"

This was Lin Lang's first time meeting the new landlord, of course, this was also Xiao Yu Ge's first time meeting people from Feng Yan Niang's branch family besides them.

"Master Lin, please don't be so polite!" Xiao Yuge sized up Lin Lang before her. Her delicate features, tall stature, and stylish attire gave off an aura of cleanliness and efficiency. Her intelligent eyes sparkled with shrewdness.

"Feng Hufa had already sent word to his subordinates, but they did not know that the host had arrived early and were unable to greet him in person. Please forgive our rudeness!" Lin Lang respectfully apologized.

"It's alright, come up and speak."

"Yes!" Lin Lang got up and secretly looked at Xiao Yuge in front of her. She always thought that the young master chosen by the old owner himself must be someone who had an aura as soon as he appeared, and was dazzlingly different from others. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a little girl who seemed shorter than her.

Before the various things she heard from the previous owner, she still admired this new owner's courage in her heart. However, the Xiao Yuge before her really shattered all her previous fantasies, and even had a little bit of resentment. Why could such a young girl lead the entire Frost Snow Tower The world-renowned Number One Tower was actually led by a little girl If this got out, wouldn't it be ridiculed by other sects

"What Not convinced" Xiao Yuge's phoenix eyes lifted slightly, how could Lin Lang's suspicion escape her gaze

“I dare not!” Lin Lang’s heart trembled, she hurriedly bowed her head. Just now, after only meeting Xiao Yuge’s gaze for a moment, she felt her heartbeat accelerate instantly. Those eyes were as sharp as knives, piercing through the heart, giving her goosebumps. How was this possible How could a girl in her teens have such terrifying eyes

Meanwhile, Xiao Yuge walked towards her slowly. With every step, Lin Lang felt an invisible pressure bearing down on her, making her feel like she couldn't breathe. This was aura suppression, wasn't it How could a little girl have such a powerful aura!

She may have dreamed a thousand times, but she couldn't possibly know that Xiao Yuge after practicing the Life and Death Art, her kung fu was far beyond what it used to be. With a casual flick of her wrist, the powerful internal energy could make Lin Lang struggle even to stand up. She could even smell the aura of death!

"My subordinate knows she was wrong, please give her another chance, Lord!" Lin Lang lay there, the immense pressure nearly making it impossible for her to even lift her head. It seemed this young lord truly lived up to his reputation as terrifying. The defiance in her heart quickly crumbled!

"Hall Master Lin, get up!" Xiao Yuge sat back in her chair, and with a light wave of her hand, Lin Lang instantly felt the pressure disappear, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, OP!" With this, Lin Lang dared not disagree.

"Hall Master Lin, I came today with two matters."

"Please, Master, just give your orders!" Lin Lang respectfully bowed his head and stood beside him.

"Sit down," Xiao Yuge said. She wasn't trying to make things difficult for her, but she knew that if she wanted them to submit, martial prowess was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if any internal chaos arose, it would be impossible to control.

"This subordinate dares not!" How could Lin Lang sit down.

"Sit!" Xiao Yuge lightly stomped her foot, and a dark force erupted from beneath her, causing Lin Lang to retreat two steps.

"Yes!" Lin Lang didn't dare to say another word and obediently sat down beside him.

"Master Lin, my maidservant Qingluo is unwell from the change of water and soil. I have other matters to attend to and cannot spare time to care for her. Therefore, please find a safe place to take her and arrange for someone to look after her well. She doesn't know my identity, so for now, I can't reveal it in front of her. We are currently staying at the Yuelai Inn. Tomorrow, you have someone take Qingluo away under the guise of being Feng Jie's friend. Remember, her safety must be guaranteed!" Feng Yanniang said. Although Lin Lang was somewhat arrogant, he was absolutely loyal, as she knew.

Qingluo wouldn't be better anytime soon, and she and Qian Tingxuan were going out to investigate the private salt case. Leaving Qingluo alone at the inn made her uneasy, so she asked Lin Lang to take Qingluo away.

"Yes! This subordinate will personally go to pick up Miss Qingluo."

Xiao Yuge nodded: "Also, tell me about the current situation in Yanzhou, and what's the story with the Yanbang"

"Yes!" Lin Lang hurriedly recounted everything that had happened...

Xiao Yuge had just returned to the inn when Qian Tingxuan nervously approached her: "Ge'er, where did you go" How could this little thing have run away in the blink of an eye Could it be that she went to contact the Frost Snow Pavilion's branch here

"I went to the pharmacy to get medicine for Qingluo," Xiao Yuge said, holding up the bag of medicine.

“It’s unfamiliar and unsafe here. Where are you going next I’ll go with you.” Qian Tingxuan naturally knew she was lying, but he didn’t expose her. If she liked playing the role of the mistress of Frost and Snow Building, then let her play on.

"Um, okay."

To his surprise, she didn't go against him, instead obediently nodding in agreement. She frowned slightly: "When things are not as they seem, there must be a reason."

The next morning, Lin Lang did indeed take Qing Luo away from Yuelai Inn as Feng Yan's friend. Xiao Yuge thought Qian Tingxuan would stop her, at least raise some suspicion, but surprisingly, he didn't ask anything.

"Grandpa, after our undercover investigation these past few days, the case of private salt should be related to Nancun and Beicun..." Mingyang finally figured out the situation after being busy for two days.

The two villages, north and south, lived by the sea. For generations, they had worked for the government, collecting and refining salt. The southern village was responsible for collecting, while the northern village was in charge of boiling it into salt, which was then delivered to the government.Initially, the two villages cooperated harmoniously. They rose with the sun and set with it, working diligently. Although the silver they received from the government wasn't abundant, it was enough to support their families.cts. Miss truly is so heartless, unwilling to give Wu Yue a chance, hmm" Wu Yue approached her, his long legs carrying him forward until he trapped her against the wall."Master Wuyue, which part of m...
