Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 157 Arrival
At noon, the sky was clear and the air was crisp, with light clouds and a gentle breeze.

The sun was at its strongest at this time.

On the official road outside Bianliang City, a peasant woman wearing a hooded head covering and carrying a simple bundle walked to the city gate.

Suddenly, as if realizing she had arrived at her destination, she looked up and around for a while, and saw the magnificent city wall in front of her, feeling inexplicably awestruck!
She wiped the sweat from her face and murmured, "Finally, we've arrived!"

As if remembering something, the peasant woman's expression suddenly became somewhat anxious: "I wonder how Minglan and her brother are doing at the Sheng family's house?"

"If anything happens to them, I will definitely not stand up for them!"

It turned out that this peasant woman was none other than Sheng Changquan's aunt, Aunt Wei.

……

"The Rong family?"

Among the men in black, a refined-looking man with captivating eyes suddenly spoke.

"What happened to the Rong family? Could it be that they offended the Prince?"

This man, codenamed Tao San, is a womanizer and extremely lewd. Although he is skilled in martial arts and his methods are incredibly strange, it is precisely because of his lustful nature that his missions often become exceptionally difficult, and unexpected twists and turns frequently occur, creating unnecessary complications.

If it weren't for the fact that his appearance was so helpful in completing certain "special" tasks, frankly, no one would want to work with him.

Indeed, Tao San not only has beautiful eyes, but he is also extremely handsome. If it weren't for his terrible character and perverted temperament, he would be a truly excellent husband.

The phrase "all that is gold and jade on the outside, but rotten cotton inside" perfectly describes him.

"Tao San, these are things we can't investigate. Don't go looking for trouble!"

The leader warned in a deep voice that he did not want Tao San to lose his temper and interfere recklessly.

"Okay! Okay! Boss Tengu, I know."

The leader in black, codenamed Tengu.

"This time, I will follow your orders and will not say anything else!"

Tao San lightly fanned his mouth and said sullenly.

"Shh!"

Tengu's tiger-like eyes swept across his companions, taking in their expressions like sharp swords. He said, "Our mission this time isn't difficult, but we must be careful!"

"We must not leave any trace, lest we be tracked down!"

"Yes, boss!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Alright, now that everyone knows, I'll tell you about the next action plan!"

……

outside the house.

Sheng Changquan sat for most of the day but still couldn't find an opportunity to get close to them. In order not to alert them, he thought about it and finally retreated back to Xu Changqing's side.

"Master!"

When Xu Changqing saw Sheng Changquan return, he quickly whispered.

"Ok!"

Sheng Changquan nodded and said, "Changqing, the defenses over there are quite tight. I didn't find a single opportunity!"

What about you?

"Young Master, I haven't found anything here either!"

Xu Changqing honestly shook his head, and then advised, "Young Master, this kind of surveillance work requires patience; you absolutely cannot rush it!"

"If we rush, we're prone to making mistakes, and if we make mistakes, it can be dangerous!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Changquan paused for a moment.

a long time.

"Changqing, you're right!"

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said, "These things really can't be rushed!"

Seeing that Sheng Changquan had recovered, Xu Changqing nodded secretly.

"Alright, Changqing!"

Sheng Changquan said, "I'll keep an eye on things here. You should rest for a bit!"

Since receiving Sheng Changquan's orders, Xu Changqing had been constantly on the move, with barely any rest. His face already showed signs of fatigue and weakness, which is why Sheng Changquan said what he did. "No need, young master, I can manage!"

Xu Changqing was worried that Sheng Changquan might make a mistake due to his lack of experience, so he directly refused, saying, "Young Master, these people are no ordinary individuals; we cannot let our guard down!"

"But……"

"careful!"

Sudden.

Xu Changqing's eyes sharpened, and he interrupted Sheng Changquan, warning, "They're here!"

"Ok?"

Sheng Changquan became alert and quickly turned around to look, only to find that the group opposite him had indeed made a move.

At this moment, the thirteen people opposite had all changed their clothes and dressed as small vendors. Each of them carried a load on a shoulder pole and quickly walked out of the house.

"That is?"

Sheng Changquan's pupils contracted as he noticed that one of the people carrying a load of metal was accidentally sticking out.

It has a long, dark handle, giving it a strong and sharp feel.

That was a knife!

"Young Master, that..."

Clearly, Xu Changqing had also noticed the anomaly there.

"Go, follow!"

Without much hesitation, Sheng Changquan quickly followed them, ready to see what they were up to.

However, he was relieved about one thing: the Yong Prince's mansion's operation this time was probably not for Minglan. After all, there was no need to go to such great lengths to deal with her!
……

Sheng family.

"Danju, why hasn't Auntie's period arrived yet?"

Minglan stood at the gatehouse of the Sheng family, constantly looking outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of Aunt Wei.

"Young lady, it takes quite a while to walk from the city gate to this side!"

Danju helped Minglan up and whispered to comfort her, "Besides, even if Aunt Wei arrives on time, it will still take some time for her to meet up with Xiaotao. Don't worry, Miss!"

"Sigh! My brother is really something, what a coincidence that he's not here today!"

"Otherwise, we could just have him pick up Auntie!"

Because Sheng Changquan was not present, Minglan could only send Xiaotao to fetch Aunt Wei to the mansion in the end. Otherwise, it would have been more appropriate to have Sheng Changquan take the initiative.

After all, this is a matter of etiquette.

"Huh? They're here!"

Danju, with her sharp eyes, suddenly called out loudly just as Minglan was complaining, "Miss, Xiaotao is back!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Minglan was overjoyed and could no longer contain herself. She quickly ran ahead to look.

really.

She saw Xiao Tao supporting a figure as they walked briskly from afar.

"Girl, I've brought your aunt back!"

Similarly, Xiao Tao saw Minglan and the others on the other side and quickly waved to them, responding loudly.

"Auntie, the girl has come to pick us up!"

Xiao Tao carried the bundle brought by Aunt Wei on her back, helping her walk while saying happily.

"Ming...Minglan?"

Aunt Wei's lips trembled, and she looked very excited!
"aunt!"

Ignoring the scorching sun outside, Minglan quickly walked out.

"Auntie, you've finally arrived!" "Minglan!"

Aunt Wei across from them was also very excited. She grabbed her niece's hand and asked, seemingly puzzled, "Minglan, are you Minglan?"
