A swallow flew into the window and chirped. Xiao Yunfan stretched out a palm, and the swallow fell neatly into his palm. Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "Little guy, what did you hear?" The swallow chirped a few times, and Xiao Yunfan said: "Oh, that's it. Thank you very much."
Everyone was astonished. Yu Nansong said: "Brother Xiao, I have heard that there are capable people in this world who can understand bird songs. I never thought that Brother Xiao could have such miraculous skills. It is really eye-opening." Mrs. Yu also agreed. : "Yes, Brother Xiao, what is this swallow talking about?"
Xiao Yunfan said: "This Yanzi said that Miss Guan was being held in a woodshed." Huo Zhongyuan said: "In that case, we will be able to save people soon." Xiao Yunfan said: "Sir, it is of course easy to save people. , but there is no guarantee that the other party will not be hiding a conspiracy. Now I don’t have the purple jade phoenix you gave me with me. If the other party poisons me, no matter how good our martial arts are, we will inevitably be captured."
Huo Zhongyuan frowned and said: "That's right. Brother Xiao can think of other ways." Xiao Yunfan said: "Let Xiao take the lead and find out the situation first. If Xiao falls into it, everyone can still help." Yu Nansong After hearing this, he stroked his beard and said, "That's all we can do now."
At this time, Guan Shanyue interjected: "Guan is very grateful for your kindness in rescuing my little girl. But if I, as a father, can't justify my inability to do my best, please ask Brother Xiao to assign me." Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "Master Guan, your Xiao can understand his feelings, but the other party's goal is in the "Mountain and River Map", if you go, you will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth."
Guan Shanyue said: "Guan has only one daughter now. Even if the other party wants my life, Guan will give it to me." Xiao Yunfan said: "Don't be busy. Since Xiao agreed to rescue the young lady, he will naturally not let the owner of Guan Village. Take the risk." Huo Zhongyuan advised: "Brother Guan, what Brother Xiao said is absolutely true. Please be patient and wait for the good news. I think we can just wait for the good news."
In a hall, Bai Ruoxuan was sitting on a sandalwood chair in the middle, followed by Mu Qi, Chang Li and two female subordinates. Bai Ruoxuan was wearing a lotus-colored gown and pressed her hands on the armrests of the chair. She said quietly: "Although Xiao Yunfan was eliminated this time, it is a pity that the people in Binghuatang and Minglou did not take the bait."
Muqi looked respectful and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, then we will wait for the rest and wait for Guan Shanyue and Gang Gang to take the bait." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Although the words are good, I feel that something is wrong with this matter. .”
Chang Li coughed twice and asked, "Is there something I don't know whether to say or not?" Bai Ruoxuan smiled and said, "You have always been straightforward, but when did your speech become hesitant?"
Chang Li said: "My subordinates thought that we didn't see Xiao Yunfan's body. Could it be that they colluded to put on a show for us?" Bai Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "But Xiao Yunfan was killed by Huo Zhongyuan. This was with our own eyes." How can what you see be false?"
Chang Li lowered his head and said: "My subordinates think that Xiao Yunfan is very scheming. He may have used some kind of deception." Bai Ruoxuan said, "Even if he used a deception, the sword was enough for him." Chang Li said: "My Lord, That’s right. It’s because my subordinates are overthinking.”
Mu Qi asked: "Brother Chang, wasn't he afraid of being beaten by Xiao Yunfan?" Chang Li retorted: "Huh, you Mu Qi didn't let Xiao Yunfan be locked in a box and almost lost his life."
Muqi's face was full of anger, he slapped the table and shouted: "You..." Bai Ruoxuan's face darkened and said: "Shut up. If we don't work together, even if we conquer the gold and silver mountains, we will lose them sooner or later. You are all secretly mine. The elites of the pavilion, I don’t want you to kill each other.”
Mu Qi and Chang Li's expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly said, "This subordinate is reckless." Bai Ruoxuan said, "Do you know what I am most confused about right now?" A woman under Mu Qi thought for a moment and said, "My subordinate is reckless. I would venture to guess that the Lord is wondering why Ming Tower and Painting Hall didn’t take action?”
Bai Ruoxuan said: "Xiaoxue, tell me, why didn't they take action?" Cheng Xue said: "I think there is a possibility. First, the old sect leader entrusted them with other things, and they had no time to take care of it; second,
They are still waiting for a more suitable opportunity to take action. "
Bai Ruoxuan stretched out her hand and pressed her temples and said: "I think there is a third possibility for this matter. The "Shanhe Kanyu Map" is that this is a trap, waiting for us to be fooled." Muqi was startled and said: "My Lord Does it mean that the old sect master plans to take action against us?"
Bai Ruoxuan sighed and said, "It is possible. Wei Wuyou and Ji Qianyun are the elites of my Ange. After their failure twice, it stands to reason that he will not use my Ange's people again, but he only He scolded me twice and still left the matter to me.
On the surface, it was for my grandmother's sake, but in fact, he was pushing us into the fire pit little by little. Find an excuse to weaken the power of our secret cabinet and completely annex it. The so-called drawing is easy. People in the Underworld Tower and the Dark Pavilion can do it as well. Choosing us just puts the hanging rope around our necks. "
Muqi took a breath of air and said, "Is this? If the sect master really had such thoughts, wouldn't our brothers who died before have been unjustly accused?" Bai Ruoxuan said, "Yes, our brothers before have sacrificed their lives in vain, and All this is just to achieve the great cause of the sect master.
Maybe this plan was a dead end from the beginning. Even if we get the map back, the sect owner will still choose to take action. Chang Li pondered for a moment, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and sighed in a low voice: "If this is the case, we can't go back." "
There was a little sadness in Bai Ruoxuan's eyes, and she said slowly: "I have thought about it. You guys have worked hard for the Ange these years, and there is no credit but hard work, so I don't want to see you have a bad end." She took the picture as she said it. He clapped his hands and said, "Someone, bring the things up."
As soon as she finished speaking, several strong men carried up four iron boxes. The four of them looked at each other, and Bai Ruoxuan said: "Each of these boxes contains one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is enough for you to survive for the rest of your life."
After hearing the words, the four people immediately stood up and cupped their hands and said: "Sir, we..." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Are we too few?" Cheng Xuet said: "No, Lord, please let me stay by your side. Axue is willing to serve you all his life." ." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Under the overturned nest, are there intact eggs? The Ange is now over, let the brothers find their own way out."
Mu Qi asked: "I don't know what the old master means?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "I mean what grandma meant." Chang Li raised his head and said: "Sir, I don't want this money. I can take care of my brothers." Theirs." With that he strode out of the house.
Bai Ruoxuan looked at the silver in the box and said, "If Ali doesn't want it, then you can share more. Take the silver and walk as far away as possible." After saying that, she stood up, turned and walked to the back hall. Muqi glanced at the two women and said, "I only take my share." After that, he ordered two strong men to carry a tin box away.
Cheng Xue stood on the spot, clenching her fists and bulging veins on the back of her hands. The other woman beside her frowned and said, "I'll only take mine." Cheng Xue said, "A-chan, don't you care about the friendship between master and servant?" A-chan said, "The Lord has said it all. What else can I hold on to when this is the case? Axue, let’s fly away when disaster strikes.” She then turned and left.
Bai Ruoxuan returned to the inner hall, looked at the parrot and smiled bitterly: "Qingcai, do you think what I did was right?" The parrot opened its mouth and said: "Xiao Yunfan is dead, Xiao Yunfan is dead." Bai Ruoxuan Ruoyou He thought: "Yes, he is dead, and very dead..."
After everyone left, a maid opened the bead curtain and walked into the house. Bai Ruoxuan asked, "Have they all left?" The maidservant said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Sister Cheng asked me to tell you that she doesn't want the money. If you need anything, she will be at your service at any time." Bai Ruoxuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's difficult for her. If you are interested, tell her that if you really want to save her life, she can only go back to Tatar."
After a while, another maid came in. Bai Ruoxuan said, "Xiao Yuan, what's the matter?" The maid looked pale and said, "Xiao... Xiao Yunfan wants to see you." It turned out that everyone in the dark pavilion had seen Xiao Yunfan's portrait.
Bai Ruoxuan was startled for a moment, and then said with a strange gleam in her eyes: "Okay, since he has come to the door, let's invite him."
Not long after, Bai Ruoxuan walked out from behind the screen. Xiao Yunfan sat down on the chair with a calm expression. He saw Bai Ruoxuan come out and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Bai." He originally thought that Bai Ruoxuan would be surprised by his appearance, but the other person's calm expression made him feel a little disappointed.
Bai Ruoxuan sat down and said calmly: "Your Excellency, your life is very tough."
Xiao Yunfan said: "Yes, I really let the girl down." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Your Excellency came here to settle accounts with me?" Xiao Yunfan said: "The accounts should be settled." Bai Ruoxuan picked up the tea and sipped it. He took a sip and said: "I don't know what algorithm you plan to use?"
Xiao Yunfan said: "The girl's clever trick almost cost Xiao his life. Do you want to pay for my life?" Bai Ruoxuan smiled and said: "Okay. Since you want my life, just come and take it." Xiao Yunfan said: " The girl is quite cheerful.”
Upon hearing this, the maids beside Bai Ruoxuan drew their swords and surrounded Xiao Yunfan. Bai Ruoxuan said: "You all stand down, this is the grudge between me and him." Those maids said: "But..." Bai Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows and said, "You are ignoring what I said?" Those maids had to put away their long hair. Sword, lowered his head.
Xiao Yunfan said: "Before settling the score, I would like to ask the girl to let the eldest daughter of the Guan family go." Bai Ruoxuan said: "You are afraid that I can't beat you, so I used Miss Guan family to threaten you." Xiao Yunfan did not deny it. Bai Ruoxuan said to the maid named Xiao Yuan, "Go and prepare a carriage to take Miss Guan back."
Xiao Yunfan was greatly puzzled by Bai Ruoxuan's behavior. Seeing the doubtful look in his eyes, Bai Ruoxuan smiled and said, "Why do you think I'm lying to you?" Xiao Yunfan said, "I've been fooled by a girl once, so naturally I won't be fooled a second time."
Bai Ruoxuan said calmly: "Your Excellency, you can wait here to see if I lied to you." Xiao Yunfan said puzzledly: "You tried every means to seize the Guan family's plot, how could you let him go so easily?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "I work. Judging from my mood, I’m in a good mood now, so I plan to let her go.”
Xiao Yunfan said: "Won't you get another fake Miss Guan?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "Whatever you think, man, I said I would let it go, so I won't make a fuss about it. If you want to collect debts, then please take action." Xiao Yunfan touched it. He touched his nose and said curiously: "I want to collect debt, but it doesn't have to be today. The girl asked me to go to Huansha Lake that day, and Xiao lost to you. Then we will have a showdown at Huansha Lake."
Bai Ruoxuan said: "Okay, you decide the time." Xiao Yunfan said: "Then tomorrow at noon."
