Chapter 509
She held the strong drug in one hand and the dagger tightly in the other, fearing that something might go wrong again in a while.

She listened attentively, but she could no longer hear any movement. With a movement of her foot, she kicked the window open.As soon as the medicine powder in his hand was spilled out of the window, the whole person took several steps back.But she found that there was no one outside the window.Not only did the brows wrinkle up.

"Don't look, I'm already in." Suddenly, a funny voice came from the room.Ning Erlan's hands froze violently, but she didn't intend to relax her vigilance at all.

She looked up and looked at the flames on the roof beams with cold eyes.

"Don't look at me with such vigilant eyes. If I really want to do something to you, you won't stand here properly. And we are friends, I will not hurt you." Said, Lie Yan Turned over and fell off the beam.There was no sound at all when it landed.

Ning Erlan looked at him with more searching eyes.Because I have never underestimated this man before, I am not too surprised at this time.

She was just curious about how Lie Yan managed to escape the guards outside.

"Those guards of yours are indeed powerful, but if I want to make them leave, I still have a way." Seeming what Ning Erlan was thinking, Lie Yan laughed.After speaking, he went straight to the table and sat down, took the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of hot tea to drink slowly.

Ning Erlan's vigilance still did not relax.But he also walked slowly to the opposite of Lie Yan and sat down.

"What's the matter?" She asked with a sideways glance at him.

The smile on Lie Yan's face became more and more charming. "I can't come to you if I have nothing to do? You seem to dislike me more and more. Why is this?"

"The only man I like is Wei Lingxiao." Ning Erlan looked away, as if deliberately misinterpreting Lie Yan's words.

"Yo... that's really not reserved enough. I've always been curious. Although the Ning family is not a big family, after all, the merchants have a weak foundation, but they can't raise a... smart and bold daughter like you." Lie Yan seemed Looking at Ning Erlan tentatively and jokingly, he said.

"so what?"

"I risked my life to come here to find you, not because I came to drink tea with you. I want to discuss a business with you. I don't know if you are interested." Lie Yan's face changed quickly. In an instant, he became a calculating businessman.

"Not interested." Ning Erlan refused without thinking.

"why?"

"Because I'm not short of money."

Lie Yan smiled, looking vaguely at Ning Erlan's tools on another table.That was what she was going to use to draw the map, because Lie Yan came in too suddenly just now, and she hadn't had time to put it away.

However, in Ning Erlan's opinion, this should not have much impact, after all, the affairs of the Wen family are not something that can be known by casual people.

"Are you going to do something?" Lie Yan casually walked to those things, picked them up, looked left and right, and seemed very interested.

Ning Erlan took the villain from his hand with a blank expression. "If you have nothing to do, you can go."

"There is something, how can there be nothing. And it is still a big thing."

"If it's just now, then you don't have to talk about it. I'm not interested."

"Since you are not interested in that matter, let's talk about another matter." Lie Yan raised his eyebrows, sat back on the chair and looked at Ning Erlan. "I know why you came to the Acropolis this time. You don't need to worry about how I know, and you don't need to worry about what I want to do. What I want to say is that with your strength, you don't have the ability to get all those things They were all wiped out. We can cooperate." Although Lie Yan's words were vague, Ning Erlan could understand what he meant.

The gloomy eyes deepened.

"How? I can help you with full authority."

Ning Erlan kept quiet and didn't speak, Lie Yan didn't seem to be in a hurry for Ning Erlan to give him an answer immediately.The two sat opposite each other like this, and neither of them knew what the other was thinking.

"I'm just here to find my sister. If you are willing to help me find her, I will be happy." A quarter of an hour later, Ning Erlan slowly raised her eyebrows and said to Lie Yan.

"Are you sure you don't think about it seriously anymore?" Lie Yan was not surprised to be rejected, but felt a little regretful.

"I've made it very clear, are you deaf?"

Lie Yan spread his hands helplessly and stood up. "Well, since you've said that, I can't help it, but I still hope you can change your mind. I will come to you again." After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked directly towards the door In the past, open the door and go straight out.

The guards outside the door wanted to stop him, but Ning Erlan inside the house shook her head and let the craftsmen let them go.

"Master, it was because of my negligence of duty that someone broke in." The guard knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Get up, his kung fu is not comparable to yours. Just keep on guard." Ning Erlan was thinking about how much Lie Yan knew about this matter.What on earth does he want to do!
She knew that he was not simple, but they hadn't found out the final details of this man, so she felt uneasy after all.

"Master, our white rats all died in the desert." Without the white rats, there is no way to track down their people.

Ning Erlan thought for a moment, thinking that it would be a waste of time for Wei Lingxiao and the others to bring a few more mice over. It would be better for her to train on the spot, but the effect is definitely not comparable to that of the long-term trained mice.

"You go find a few litters of white mice, the ones that have just been born for one month are the best."

"Yes."

Ning Erlan was the only one left in the room. She was about to draw a map just now, but was interrupted by Lie Yan, and she looked at him very badly. That kind of eyes made Ning Erlan feel that Lie Yan seemed to know Wen home this matter.

After repeatedly instructing the people outside to guard it, she started again to draw a more detailed map.

This time the map is really detailed.But it was as she knew before.The location is on a street.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like King Ming Zhao's den.

Early the next morning, Ning Erlan planned to go to the streets of Acropolis after having breakfast.

First, she walked every street for a while, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the street she had drawn on the map.

This street is relatively wide and long, but it can be regarded as a district of the Acropolis. There are three streets in total, and it is called Dongxing District.At this time, I don't know if it is because it is almost noon, and there are no people on the street.

Even the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street are pitifully few people.

Ning Erlan casually walked into an ordinary but clean restaurant.Soon there was a waiter from the shop who seemed to be happily running over to Xindalu. "Young master, what do you want to eat?"

"What signature dishes do you have here, just serve me three." Ning Erlan didn't procrastinate, and began to observe the surroundings carefully after ordering.

It was found that the shopkeeper was about to fall asleep at the counter.

After the dishes were served, Ning Erlan gave more than a dozen copper coins to Xiao Er, and said softly, "I heard that the Acropolis is not as bad as Hanyang City, why are there no people on the street right now?" ?”

The waiter in the shop hadn't received the reward for several days, and a dozen copper coins were not too small, and he felt a lot more relieved in an instant.He moved closer to Ning Erlan and said in a low voice: "This young master is not the first time to do business in the Acropolis, is he?"

Ning Erlan nodded lightly as an admission.

"Hey, son, you didn't come at the right time. You don't know. If you had come half a month earlier, our street would still be very lively. It's just that in the past half month, there have always been many The strange thing is that a lot of people have been lost in the city for no reason. At the beginning, everyone thought they were ordinary human traffickers and didn't think about it. But more and more people were lost one after another. The big guys were afraid , I dare not go out. There are no people on our street.”

"Are you ashamed for no reason? Who are they?"

"Young men and women, it's really pitiful. I don't know how those fathers and mothers will cry to death..." The waiter talked for a long time before Ning Erlan asked her to retreat.

King Mingzhao's people wanted to reach out to Weicheng again.

After eating, she was about to leave the restaurant and walk to the other side of the street.No, she was stopped by the waiter in the store not long after she left.

"Hey, young master, where are you going?" The waiter looked at the direction she was walking with a hint of panic in his tone.

Ning Erlan stopped and looked at the street over there and said, "Take a look on the street over there. Why, is there something wrong?"

The shop waiter quickly came to Ning Erlan's side, seeming to approach his ear mysteriously.

Ning Erlan's guard wanted to step forward, but she stopped her with a gesture. "Oh, my young master advises you not to go there. That place is so evil, and now the people in Acropolis almost dare not go there."

"Oh? Why?" Ning Erlan frowned.

"Because it's haunted there!" the waiter said, with a look of fear on his face, as if he really saw a ghost in that place.

"Haunted?"

"Yeah, several people have seen it! Oh, it's scary, and now everyone dare not lean over there."

Listening, Ning Erlan seemed to think of something. She remembered that when she sent a letter to ask their people to investigate this area, she mentioned that this area was haunted.She was also puzzled at the time, so she asked them to investigate.But nothing can be found out.

Looking at the taboo and fear of the people in the Acropolis now, Ning Erlan felt that something seemed to have a clue.
