Murong Xue smiled.
He looked at Lao Jianhua as if he were looking at a fool, and the smile on his face grew thicker and thicker: "Are you stupid? You want me to surrender? It's just a fool's errand!"
In the face of ridicule and rebuke, Lao Jianhua's expression remained as calm as water, without any ripples.
Di Xian, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said: "Murong Xue, don't overstate everything. Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you also think about your children?"
"Child?!" Murong Xue said in astonishment, "What are you talking about?"
Di Xian showed a cold smile: "It seems you really don't know? When the two sides were fighting fiercely last night, you were only protecting the carriage with all your strength, but you didn't realize that my wife was also captured by our army. Today she is with us. After returning to Luoyi, I suddenly felt unwell. I am a kind-hearted person, so I specially arranged for a doctor to treat her, and unexpectedly found out that Rui Ji was pregnant."
Murong Xue was surprised, happy, and a little unbelievable at the same time. After hesitating for a moment, he tried to ask: "Where is Rui Ji now? Is she... okay? I want to see her."
"Of course," Lao Jianhua's tone sounded very gentle: "As I said before, as long as you can change your mind and answer some of Lao's questions, I can let you and your wife go. How about it?"
I don't know when it started, but it started to rain lightly outside Tingyuxuan, and a slight rustling sound gradually sounded from the surrounding ponds.
Murong Xue lowered her head, staring straight at the ground, her fists clenching tighter and tighter, her joints cracking as she squeezed them.
Ting Yuxuan fell into a brief silence again.
Lao Jianhua, who was sitting at the table, and Li Jiangyao, who was hiding on the beam, were both quietly waiting for Murong Xue's reply.
After a long time, Murong Xue finally spoke, with an endless sadness in his voice: "Okay...I promise you...but before that, I want to see my wife first."
There was an imperceptible look of pride on Lao Jianhua's face, and he said calmly: "Come here, escort Murong Zhanshi to his wife."
When Murong Xue was escorted away by the guards, Di Xian smiled slyly: "Humph, what kind of bullshit loyalty? In the end, you didn't just give in and beg for mercy?"
Lao Jianhua raised his hand to stop Di Xian's words: "People can't escape the fetters of seven emotions and six desires. Murong Xue is like this, and so are you and me. There are still many secrets between him and the court, and they are all old men. It’s something I care about more. So I have to put more thought into it.”
"Sir's teachings, I will keep them in mind." Di Xian quickly responded with his hands in hand.
Xie Bao, who was sitting opposite, asked: "Mr. Lao, what else do we have to do next? Just give me your orders. My adoptive father once told me before that the person he respects the most is Mr. Lao. Let me do more. Listen to you."
Lao Jianhua smiled slightly: "General, you're too polite. But speaking of what I have to do, I was planning to mention it to you two. I have received reliable information that the backbone of Nilin Division has not yet left Luoyi, the eastern capital. At present, Those core members are gathering in a secret lair, waiting for the arrival of a big shot. To this end, I have laid a dragnet. Just waiting for that person to appear, I will immediately launch operations to catch all the Nilin Division. When the time comes, you will still need to work closely Just cooperate."
"Is this happening?" Xie Bao was very excited: "Ha, I can finally take revenge! No matter what Mr. Lao orders, I will go all out!"
Li Jiangyao, who was hiding on the beam, was worried about his good brother Murong Xue. At this time, he accidentally heard the conversation between Lao Jianhua and Xie Bao, and was so frightened that he almost fell off.
The secret base of Nilin Division has been exposed? ! Could it be that there are traitors among those in charge of orders and envoys in charge of flags? ! Who is secretly tipping off Lao Jianhua? And who is the big shot mentioned by Lao Jianhua? Could it be Shen Lie?
Li Jiangyao felt cold sweat breaking out on his back, and he wanted to leave immediately and rush to warn him. If Nilinsi's core strength suffered a devastating blow because he was a step too late, he would never be able to forgive himself.
But unfortunately, Lao Jianhua and the other three were sitting in Tingyuxuan drinking and talking, without any chance for him to escape. The more leisurely the enemy is, the more anxious Li Jiangyao becomes. Several times he almost couldn't bear it anymore and thought of killing them directly. Fortunately, I still have some sense and I didn't do anything stupid.
The banquet lasted for more than an hour, and they just ended. However, as soon as Lao Jianhua and the others left, a large group of servants came to the pavilion and were busy picking up the leftovers.
The most annoying thing is that those guys were quite procrastinating. They worked slowly and leisurely while chatting at times. Their dillydallying almost made Li Jiangyao anxious to death.
Just like that, after waiting for a long time, Tingyuxuan was really empty.
Li Jiangyao somersaulted and landed on the ground, then jumped up to the distant ridge like lightning, and ran out of Taifu's Mansion.
When he got to the street, Li Jiangyao thought for a while and finally decided not to go to Luo Jiankun and send someone to deliver the message, but to go there himself and call the police to the leaders of Nilin Division.
Previously, in order to ensure safety and not be caught by the Xuanjia Army, Li Jiangyao and the others immediately withdrew from Luoyi and gathered at a hidden point after each group completed its mission. In the end, only Li Jiangyao, Luo Jiankun and the others were left to guard the small courtyard to check the situation behind them.
Therefore, Qiao Shengchun, Zhou Xing, Wang Hai and others are all in secret strongholds outside the city now. If there is a traitor, I am afraid that none of them will be able to escape!
Li Jiangyao was anxious. Firstly, he didn't want to detour to Zhishanfang to find Luo Jiankun and waste time. Secondly, the city gate was closed at the moment. He had to climb over the city wall more than ten feet high and only his skill could make it easier.
He launched the Light Body Lift Technique, kept exerting force under his feet, and rushed to the city wall as fast as a meteor. Taking advantage of the lack of attention from the defenders, he used Nilin Division's unique treasure, the Flying Claw, to climb up the city wall in twos and twos, then cross the top of the city, and then sling down from the other side.
A huge city wall like Dongdu Luoyi, which is more than ten feet high, cannot be overcome by light skills. Even the top knight in the martial arts world would have to fall to death on the spot if he jumped directly, so Ni Linsi's artifact really played a big role.
Li Jiangyao landed outside the city smoothly. For the time being, he didn't bother to recover the flying claws, and immediately turned around and ran away.
He is now racing against time, and a moment's delay may lead to disaster.
Li Jiangyao had never been to Nilinsi's secret stronghold outside the city before. He only heard Wang Hai describe it to him in detail once. However, fortunately, he was a scout and had an almost natural control over the terrain. With only memory and judgment, he was confident that he could find the place in the dark rainy night.
Not sure whether it was because he was back in the familiar wild environment or because the cold rain kept pouring on him, Li Jiangyao felt that his anxious mood was slowly calming down as he ran forward.
At the same time, a feeling of instability gradually emerged in my heart.
This so-called "insecurity" is not due to Nilinsi's worry about being in danger, but an unexplainable intuition.
That kind of intuition is like a wild animal feeling that danger is approaching.
Li Jiangyao ran slower and slower, and finally stopped.
wrong! There's something wrong here!
He suddenly realized that he might have fallen into a trap!
Listening to Yuxuan just now, Lao Jianhua said, "The backbone of the Nilin Division has not yet left Luoyi, the eastern capital. At the moment, those core members are gathering in a secret lair, waiting for the arrival of a big shot. To this end, I have already laid out a dragnet, and I am just waiting for that person to show up, and then I will take action immediately."
This sounds reasonable, but in fact it means saying nothing.
First of all, it is said that the people from Nilinsi did not leave Luoyi, the eastern capital. From a big perspective, it does make sense for Qiao Shengchun and others to gather not far from the city. But from a small perspective, they are no longer in the city, which means they have left Luoyi, the eastern capital.
Secondly, Lao Jianhua said that the people in Nilinsi were waiting for the arrival of a big shot. It sounds mysterious and fascinating, but in fact, there is no need for him to show off in front of Xie Bao and Di Xian. Is that big shot Shen Lie or someone else? Wouldn't Lao Jianhua just name him?
In the end, the so-called dragnet had to wait until the big shot arrived, but the key problem was that this gave Li Jiangyao just enough time to send a warning, and he had to race against time and not waste a moment.
These few short sentences were ambiguous and specious, but they created an extremely tense situation, forcing people to panic.
Damn it, Lao Jianhua, this old fox, he had already noticed that I was hiding on the beam!
Li Jiangyao couldn't help but cursed secretly, and at the same time understood Lao Jianhua's thoughts.
Lao Jianhua was highly skilled in martial arts and very alert, so Di Xian and Xie Bao might not have noticed when he was just listening to Yuxuan, but Lao Jianhua probably noticed someone on the beam.
At the same time, this old guy can also be sure that the person in Liang Shang is definitely not his mortal enemy Shen Lie. The reason is very simple. This kind of job as a spy does not require Shen Changshi to do it himself.
Since it was not Shen Lie who came, there was no need to expose it on the spot. Because not to mention the number of casualties that would occur if we do it on the spot, the key point is that even if someone is caught, it will only be a mere spy, and most likely nothing of value will be found.
Instead of doing this, it is better to bury a hook and let go of the line to fish.
Hence, Lao Jianhua’s specious words came into being. Perhaps, as soon as Li Jiangyao left Ting Yuxuan, he followed his eyes, waiting for him to obediently find Nilinsi's lair, so as to give the Xuanjia Army a chance to truly catch them all.
Li Jiangyao smiled coldly and immediately looked in the direction behind him. However, after a long time, there was nothing unusual there. Suddenly, Li Jiangyao dodged and moved again, but this time he changed direction and ran directly to the left. His speed was actually a few minutes faster than before, moving at high speed in the forest like lightning.
Soon, he stopped again, and the location he was in turned out to be the place where he had just stayed. But this time, he really stopped completely and stood silently in the rain, motionless.
In a few snaps of his fingers, there was a burst of light footsteps not far behind Li Jiangyao.
A rough voice actually said in Turkic: "Huh? That's amazing. Can you detect our movements?"
