queen and pro

Chapter 60

The coachman who was named was a little surprised and pointed to his nose: "My lord, you, you called me?"

"If you tell me, tell me quickly, where does all this nonsense come from?" a big man in green clothes said impatiently.

The coachman nodded immediately and said, "Yes, yes, my lord, I did see the two girls getting out of the carriage fifteen minutes ago, and then rented another carriage from us and left..."

"Where did they go?" The man interrupted impatiently with the driver's nonsense.

"Well, from what they said, I seem to be going to Manchester City..." Before he finished speaking, another person jumped out immediately, "Yes, I heard that too, they did go to Manchester City!"

"I hope you are all telling the truth, otherwise, the end will be the same as this stone!" The man dropped two ingots of silver, and the palm of his hand slapped down, and a stone the size of a washbasin on the ground immediately turned into powder.

"What we are saying is, the truth, we dare not lie to your lord..." The coachmen turned pale and trembled with fright.

"I'm sorry you don't dare!" The man dropped these words contemptuously, raised his whip, and led them away.

The two coachmen wiped their sweat vigorously, and felt a little scared in their hearts. It is better to earn less money like this in the future, so as not to lose their lives.

"Miss, I'm so tired, let's go and have a good sleep!" Xiao Tao happily followed Lan Qin into an inn that looked relatively clean.For the sake of safety, the two only needed one room, had a simple meal, took a shower, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

When Lan Qin woke up, the sun was about to set, and the bed beside her was empty, Xiao Tao had long since disappeared.She rubbed her eyes, and was about to get up to wash, when the door suddenly opened gently from the outside.

"Miss, are you awake?" Xiaotao happily walked in with a washbasin in her hand, "Hurry up and wash your face, let's go out for a stroll after dinner, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Manchester City has a grand lantern festival at night."

"Xiaotao really wants to go?" Lan Qin got up and put on his coat, and asked after washing his face.

"Of course, the master never let the lady go out to watch the Lantern Festival..." Halfway through the speech, Xiao Tao suddenly realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, her expression changed, and she carefully stared at Lan Qin, for fear that she would be upset.

"You forgot? I can't remember many things from the past." Lan Qin smiled gently, and Xiao Tao was relieved, but it aroused Xiao Tao's suspicion. She asked casually: "Before , Lan... Daddy, are you controlling me very strictly?"

"Hehe," Xiaotao laughed dryly, and said, "Master is afraid that Miss will be bullied when she goes out, so I don't, I don't want to let Miss go out."

"Oh." Seeing that Xiaotao didn't want to say anything, Lan Qin didn't force her anymore, and responded lightly, before sinking her head into eating.

After dinner, dusk had already fallen, but many lights were lit on the streets of Manchester City, lighting up the whole city.They asked the shopkeeper where the lantern festival was, and then wanted to take it away.

"Wow, this is so beautiful, miss!" Xiaotao shouted happily, pointing at a lantern in the shape of a white rabbit.

Infected by Xiao Tao, Lan Qin also stretched her head to look at it. The white rabbit body, two pointed ears, and the pair of sparkling red eyes on the cutest rabbit head made the whole rabbit come to life like a girl. All the children stopped here, staring at the rabbit lamp.The flower protectors beside them were even more eager to move.

The rule of the Lantern Festival is that you can get that lantern by guessing the riddle on the lantern.Lan Qin's eyes also turned to the white paper next to the rabbit, and there were four big characters "waiting for the rabbit" written on it, followed by three small characters: type one.

"Beasts, there are pigs and rabbits, they must be beasts." A scholar in white said confidently, shaking a folding fan in his hand.Several people behind him looked at him with admiration.

Lan Qin couldn't hold it back, and immediately let out a "puchi" laugh, this guy is so talented.

"Do you have a good idea, girl?" The rabbit lamp seller is an old man in his sixties. His eyes are full of kindness, but his eyes that have experienced vicissitudes of life reflect the light of wisdom.

Lan Qin didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he quickly bowed and explained briefly: "I just remembered a funny thing. But I think the word should be Liu!" Afraid they would continue to ask, Lan Qin quickly changed the subject .

Everyone's attention was really attracted, only the scholar just stared at Lan Qin gloomily.

"Why did you say that?" The old man also became interested. His riddle is not the most difficult one, but many talented people who claim to be well-educated have not guessed it right. Today, a little girl answered it in one go, and his enthusiasm suddenly climbed. come up.

"Wait for the rabbit, that is, guarding a wooden stake and waiting for the rabbit to hit it, that is, it is attached to a piece of wood, so it is the word 'willow'."

After hearing this, the old man stroked his beard and nodded approvingly: "Yes, this girl guessed right, this rabbit lamp is yours." After saying that, he stood up and took down the rabbit lamp, and handed it to you. I gave it to Lanqin.

The rest of the people saw that the most beautiful rabbit lamp on the old man's booth had fallen into Lan Qin's hands, and left one after another. Lan Qin took the lamp and handed it to Xiao Tao who was delighted, then thanked the old man, and turned around. Just ready to leave.

"Girl, step forward and talk." The old man suddenly stopped Lan Qin. Although Lan Qin was a little puzzled, she still bent her body slightly and approached the old man. The old man said in a very low voice, "Someone is following you!" Lan Qin reflexively wanted to look back, but was immediately stopped by the old man, "It's right behind you, don't look back."

Lan Qin resisted the impulse, smiled and said to the old man, "Thank you, old man!"

"Little girl, I think the two of us are destined, so how about it, I will cover you later. You go shopping in crowded places first, and I will pick you up at the intersection later." The old man said kindly.

"Thank you old man for your kindness. No need, it's fine." Lan Qin didn't want to involve this kind old man, pulled Xiao Tao, turned around, pretended to look at the lantern, but a pair of black eyes were darting around, and finally found a home A few sneaky people were found beside the Lantern Festival.

"My lord, did she find us?" A young man happened to meet Lan Qin's gaze, and quickly turned to the other side guiltily.

Seeing Lan Qin's eyes lingering in front of them for quite a while, another boy with a straight temper asked, "My lord, isn't it just a woman, why don't we go and arrest her now?" ?”

The leading man glanced at them, and said angrily: "Don't be impulsive, this is Ming Lan's territory, we are just a few people, if you are hunted down, you can deal with it? Let's wait for them to go to a place where there is no one. Let's do it again."
