After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Anyone can say nice things.

Especially when they discovered that the golden beans were given by Baili Ming.

The dog emperor is still the same dog emperor; even passing ants have to leave a leg behind.

But why is there only a map and a few names in Baili Ming's letter?

Seriously?! They just kicked her out like that?

Bai Li Ce examined the bag of gold beans several times, turning it inside out. After finding no hidden information, he began to doubt whether Bai Li Ming had received her letter earlier.

But upon closer examination, given the capabilities of her spies, it's practically impossible.

That means——

Baili Ming just let her go like that?

Bai Li Ce remained silent for a long time, his feelings complicated.

Actually, she didn't like this older sister that much.

To be precise, the siblings in the Baili family were not familiar with each other at all.

But when she was foolishly tricked into the cellar by the old woman and almost died, it was Baili Ming who saved her.

It was also thanks to Baili Ming that her cheap father's first wife was able to remarry smoothly, instead of tormenting each other every day.

Otherwise, over the years, she might have become even more perverted than Wang Qingyan.

Later, when she learned martial arts, she was inferior to Baili Chengjun in poetry, calligraphy, and chess; she was not as good as her two half-sisters in composing lyrics and music; and her lightness skill and swordsmanship were even worse than the old steward by Baili Ming's side...

If this young lady hadn't persuaded the old man to give her a little more time, we probably wouldn't even be able to find her grave by now.

Fortunately, she is indeed very talented in intelligence transmission, digging into people's privacy, gathering information, and taking shortcuts.

In other words, he was often described by the old boss as ruthless and cunning.

Is it vicious?

may be.

She just didn't expect that this young lady would actually get her wish and marry her ideal husband.

Even more unexpectedly, she returned to the Baili family after her husband's death.

Or......

Looking at those names again, she suddenly became a little worried. Was Baili Ming up to some kind of unconventional "one-for-one" strategy?

Then--

"Slap!" Bai Li Ce slapped himself hard!

Made!

What was she thinking?

How could Baili's daughter be so saintly!

She hurried to the clothing store she frequented to change back into the spy who was impersonating her. Bai Li Ce put on the newly made clothes, picked up the jewelry box, and came out of the store again.

There was also an extra pouch around her waist.

It was a gift from the owner of the clothing store.

He said it was embroidered by his wife, and it was terribly ugly. She insisted that he take it to the shop to sell, but he dared not disobey. He "gave and gave" until only a few pieces were left.

If she likes one, then choose one.

So she chose the ugliest one, which was supposedly embroidered with a tiger.

Although it really doesn't look like her, she likes it very much.

Because the design really looks like the little temple with a tail that Sun Wukong transformed into when he fought Erlang Shen.

So cute and arrogant!

Importantly, she couldn't do needlework.

Since it's impossible for her to actually embroider one herself, making it a little ugly would perfectly fit her persona.

Then, she took out Wang Qingyan's calligraphy from her sleeve pocket, folded it, put it in her purse, and continued shopping.

This is a gift she prepared for Wang Qingyan.

When the time is right, we can definitely kill them with one blow.

......

They easily found the second floor where Wang Qingyan was located; Jiu'er had thoroughly explored every corner of Shucheng during this period.

"She didn't go to see anyone, did she?"

"no"

Where did she go?

"First we went to the jewelry store in Willow Lane, and then..." 921510 recounted in detail.

This includes, but is not limited to, what snacks Bai Lize ate on the street and for how long;

Seeing the ring toss game, I played it obsessively for an hour, and then, because I didn't get anything, I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and jumped up and down.

After listening, Wang Qingyan sat down helplessly and rubbed his forehead. "She's always so playful but can't afford to play the game."

"And now? Where is she?"

It was impossible for him not to follow, even though Jiu Er had already found out everything, he still felt uneasy.

"Near Lin's shop, but there are more unfamiliar vendors there. I'm afraid the Baili family has arrived."

Ha, he knew it.

Gently setting down the newly prepared perfume, Wang Qingyan raised his hand, his previously scalded fingers now as white as jade. "Then let's go see him."

......

"Lin's shop, number 237!"

"Here! Here!!" A head popped out from the long line.

So tired! Thankfully, it's finally her turn!

Bai Lize quickly squeezed to the front, handed his number to the waiter, and then sat down to order.

"This! This! This!"

"Alright! Table 13 on the second floor, bring a pot of sweet tea."

The fly rubbed its hands together, thoroughly enjoying itself, and Baili Ce was truly happy now.

He was also reviewing his upcoming plans while eating.

First, from today until I leave, I must never leave Wang Qingyan's sight again.

But you can't get too close to him, lest it seem too fake and arouse his suspicion.

Secondly, from today onwards, she must no longer contact anyone in Kyoto, and is forbidden from saying any farewells or lamenting the passing of spring.

After successfully escaping, even Baili Ming must not be contacted for a short period of time.

Third, Wang Qingyan must have more tricks up his sleeve than she imagined.

You might encounter someone with skills like Jiu Er at any time, so once you escape, you have to change your makeup, clothing, voice, and physique.

If necessary, you can shave off your hair and eyebrows!

It's not like it can't grow back~

Fourth, run as far as you can.

One must never attract attention with one's words or actions, and must never be careless, such as staying overnight at a farmhouse or doing anything unusual.

Not only will it leave a deep impression on others, but it could also very likely cause the death of innocent passersby.

Fifth, given enough time, Wang Qingyan will definitely try to investigate money shops, cloth shops, and the like.

LOL, she's not afraid of that at all.

She didn't start thinking about a secluded life only after meeting Wang Qingyan.

However, when she transmigrated, her body was too small, and her abilities were extremely poor in her early years. In a chaotic world, without the protection of a powerful family, she would have died immediately.

Over the past twelve years, she not only did many things for the Baili family, but also used different identities to store up a lot of money, food and clothing in different places.

You should know that places to store things aren't just money shops; there are also security escort agencies, cellars, pawnshops, mass graves, and temples...

Even after accounting for wear and tear and avoiding extravagance, it's enough for her to use for a lifetime.

On Lu Jian's side, a new political situation has already emerged. With his cunning and treacherous nature, it's only a matter of time before he cultivates a group of civil and military officials who are truly dedicated to the country and its people.

Moreover, the border region has also placed many mid- to low-ranking officers and soldiers through the Baili clan's intelligence network, which should make the subsequent military and political reforms much easier.

The future paths of these leaders have been laid out; how they fare depends entirely on themselves.

However, given Wang Qingyan's personality, no matter how well she did before, he might still take his anger out on others without reason or warning at any time.

This was clearly beyond her control.

We can only hope that everyone is intelligent and strives for self-improvement.

Half an hour later—

"Hiccup~"

She left Lin's restaurant completely satisfied, and the proprietress, who was seeing her off, beamed with joy.

"Beautiful lady, come again next time!"

Bai Li Ce waved dismissively, intending to stroll along the street for a while to digest his food.

I didn't want to walk along and suddenly see—

"An interesting bookstore."

Hey?

Bai Li Ce retreated and went inside.

She wanted to see how interesting it was!
