Chen Ling'er stared at the briefing in her hand, frowning. Lian Rong was serving tea and water and noticed Chen Ling'er's expression. She smiled and asked, "Miss Ling'er, what's wrong?"
Chen Ling'er raised her head and said to Lian Rong: "Go and invite the eldest lady and the second young master!"
Chen Ling'er had never spoken in such an anxious tone. Lian Rong did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to invite Bai Xueyan and Bai Zhonglian.
Not long after, the two siblings arrived.
Bai Zhonglian asked: "Miss Ling'er, what happened?"
Chen Ling'er handed the briefing to Bai Zhonglian and said, "Yigongmen suddenly went south a few months ago. The specific number is not yet known."
Bai Xueyan asked: "Yigong Sect? This sect has been silent for many years. Does its coming out this time have anything to do with us?"
Chen Ling'er nodded: "Earlier, a mysterious person went to Yigongmen, and then they started to leave. If my time is accurate, they will soon arrive in Luoyang."
Bai Xueyan said solemnly: "Luoyang...their purpose is very clear."
Bai Zhonglian thought for a while and said: "If Yi Gong Sect has any other thoughts about the martial arts in the Central Plains, it probably only wants to revitalize the Tang Sect. But this has nothing to do with us... Could it be that someone promised Yi Gong Sect What wish?"
"That's right," Chen Ling'er said, "people like them are proficient in assassination. If they join forces with Ye Yu Xiaozhu or the mastermind behind the scenes, it will be extremely detrimental to us. We must guard against it."
Bai Xueyan deeply agreed and said to Lianrong: "Lianrong, go and tell Mr. Qin to let the experts from all over the country come back temporarily. The focus is on the Bai family and... the Xianren Hall to set up defenses. We are looking for someone to inform the Xianren Hall. Let them prepare."
"Yes, Miss." After saying that, Lian Rong exited the room.
Chen Ling'er picked up a piece of paper from the desk and said to the two siblings, "There is one more thing."
"you say."
"The third young master sent someone to send back the picture a few days ago. I already know what it is."
That piece of paper was clearly the map and red dots Li Fenglan found in Shuangyang Town and Shili Mountain.
Chen Ling'er pointed to the red dots on the paper and said, "Through communication with the Bai family in Chuzhou, I can confirm that these points are the residence of Ye Yu Xiaozhu."
This news shocked the two siblings. This is undoubtedly good news.
Bai Xueyan asked: "What's going on at Yeyu Xiaozhu in Luoyang?"
Chen Ling'er replied: "There are already three leaders."
Bai Xueyan held her chin and thought for a while, then asked, "Where is Bo Ju?"
Bai Zhonglian replied: "Brother has been in seclusion for several days."
"Let him come out early. Where is Shu Yu now?"
"I'll go back to Luoyang in a few days."
"Boju is fast on his feet. Let him go to inform Shu Yu and the others without stopping and come back as soon as possible... maybe there will be a big battle."
…
Jiang Jingge felt that he had never received such humiliation before, losing twice in a row. The first time it could be said that I was careless, but the second time I wasn't even against the successor of Chen Yan. My younger sister Jiang Jingjing was even crushed in Qinggong and lost completely.
The brother and sister have been very depressed these days, feeling that their lives have lost their direction.
The two people walked on the official road in despair. They were just walking north, but they didn't know exactly where they were going.
"Brother..." Finally, Jiang Jingjing, who couldn't bear the silence, spoke up, "What are we going to do?"
Jiang Jingge looked at his sister, shook his head and said, "Let's go back."
"If you just go back like this, how can you face Master?"
Jiang Jingge shook his head and replied, "I don't know."
Jiang Jingjing suddenly stamped her foot and said angrily: "I won't go back!"
Jiang Jingge was calm: "But if we don't go back, where else can we go?"
The sky is vast and there is nowhere to settle.
Jiang Jingjing's eyes suddenly became determined: "Brother... we don't have to win them, right?"
brother and sister
The two grew up together, so Jiang Jingge naturally understood the meaning of his sister's words. He shook his head violently: "No, Jing'er, this... is not good..."
"Then why do you still keep that bottle of medicine?"
"At the beginning, you also said that if you want to win, you must win with dignity."
"Brother! I don't want to go back!" Jiang Jingjing suddenly said loudly, "I'm only seventeen years old! I don't want to go back to that boring place! I want to roam the world like those knights! I don't want to die in that place!"
His sister has always been well-behaved, but Jiang Jingge knew that the so-called well-behaved was just to please the master. She is a migratory bird, and freedom is what she longs for. But Jiang Jingge couldn't figure it out. They had already come out anyway. They had the final say whether they could go back or not. What did it matter to them whether they could win or not kill Li Fenglan and the others?
This seems to have become Jiang Jingjing's inner demon. There are two obstacles blocking her freedom, one is the master, and the other is Li Fenglan.
Since she can't win, let her die.
Jiang Jingge smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Okay... Jing'er, I have a question for you."
"You ask."
"Do you want the freedom to go wherever you want by yourself?"
Jiang Jingjing lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "More than that, brother, I have a lot of things I want to do."
"Okay... who made you my sister?"
…
Bai Shuyu estimated that they would be able to return to Luoyang in three days.
For Li Fenglan and the others, Luoyang was not considered home, but since the Xianren Hall was renovated, Li Fenglan began to call it home. After being away from home for several months this time, my desire to return to Xianren Hall was even higher than that of Chaolan Valley.
Mu Yun parked the carriage into the backyard of the inn next to the official road, took off the saddle, and skillfully drank and fed the horse. Li Fenglan was lying on the railing of the stable, staring at Mu Yun's hand stirring the fodder.
Mu Yun noticed Li Fenglan's gaze, raised his head and asked, "What do you want me to do? If you don't know, you'd think you're the supervisor."
Li Fenglan said: "I'm wondering how you convinced yourself."
"Convince yourself of what?"
"Convince yourself to do these things. In the beginning, Daozhang Zhu was responsible for taking care of the horses, right? Then you took over, and you didn't think about changing with anyone."
Mu Yun smiled, picked up a brush and brushed the horse's hair, and said while brushing: "The main thing is to find a job for myself. When I am with you, I don't have to think about anything. It would be too boring to do nothing. "
"What do you think is not boring?"
Li Fenglan didn't expect Mu Yun to give a decent answer, but who knew Mu Yun would actually start thinking seriously.
He thought for a long time and replied: "If you have something to do every day and care about someone in your heart, it won't be boring if you are also cared about by others..."
Although it was an answer that she had thought carefully about, it did not convince Li Fenglan. She curled her lips and said, "You are getting more and more depressed every day. No wonder Chenwu gave you this name."
Mu Yun smiled and didn't reply.
Li Fenglan asked: "When you regain your memory, what should we call you then?"
"You can call me whatever you like," Mu Yun said. "The name is just a code name."
"...You always show your open-mindedness in strange places."
In Li Fenglan's mind, she didn't want to believe that Mu Yun was Si Ye from Ye Yu Xiaozhu. They have known each other for such a long time and have a certain understanding of Chenwu and Muyun. There is no need to say more about Mu Yun, he is a good old man. Although Chen Wu was bad, he was a mean and bad person. If Li Fenglan hadn't nodded, he wouldn't have dared to kill people at will. Whether it was what Chen Wu said at the beginning, "There are more bad elements than good", or the characters that the two of them showed later, if the two of them were balanced, at most they would be just a good guy who loves to say wisecracks, and not a killer at all.
However, no matter how good his thoughts were, Li Fenglan still prepared for the worst: What if it was really that Si Ye?
I have this plan, but don't know how to do it. Everyone has been through life and death during this period. You can't just kill him after knowing his identity, right?
Li Fenglan is thinking wildly
With.
In Mu Yun's view, although Li Fenglan was scheming, most of the time his emotions were superficial. For example, now, he could clearly see that Li Fenglan was struggling internally.
So he smiled and asked, "Miss Li, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing the word "Miss Li", Li Fenglai couldn't help but get angry and said angrily: "I haven't thought about anything, so you don't need to worry about it."
After that, he walked away minding his own business.
Mu Yun was confused: Did I say something wrong?
During this period of time, the group had been sleeping in the open air. They had not had much decent food since coming out of Chuzhou. Now that they were approaching Luoyang, even Zhu Mingyu, who had always been cautious, felt a little relaxed.
In the evening, when there were not many guests in the inn, they set up two tables in the lobby and ordered a table of delicacies to treat their respective five internal organs temples.
Jade has no interest in the delicious food on this table. She has no appetite these days, but she just wants to drink fish soup. So Li Fenglan ordered a fish soup for her. Amber ate happily, and Bai Shuyu, who always paid attention to his image, opened his mouth to eat. Only Feicui was guarding the fish soup, drinking it in small sips.
Seeing this, Bai Shuyu asked Jade: "Jade, you like fish soup very much?"
Jade didn't seem to be interested in talking and just nodded.
Li Fenglan said: "Feicui has loved fish since she was a child. When we were children, we often went to the river to catch fish, and she ate everything we caught."
Feicui rolled her eyes at Li Fenglan and said, "I caught them all myself. When did you catch them?"
Amber raised her hands, her mouth full of food, and said vaguely: "Me, me!"
When he was in Chuzhou, Bai Shuyu vaguely guessed Bai Shuang'er's intention. He didn't believe it at first, but after a few interactions, he became convinced that Bai Shuang'er wanted to bring him and Jade together. This gave Bai Shuyu a headache. The person Jade is indeed good, but her character is like that of Gaoling Baihua. She has not seen her in the eyes for so long, and she is still a matchmaker. It is good if she is not annoying.
After the Yaoxian Valley competition, he also read the list compiled by the good guys. Of course, his focus was more on men, and he looked at "The Ten Beauties in Jianghu" emphatically. Surprisingly, none of the beauties he knew were on the list. What was even more surprising was that Jade and Amber were on the list. It's not that he has any prejudice against the beauty of the two girls, he just can't figure it out: these people can force themselves to be ranked on the list after just seeing the two of them. Men are really simple. Read the book
Thinking of this, Bai Shuyu secretly glanced at Jade. There is something different about Jade these days, the rouge and lipstick are darker than before. It looks even cooler.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that Jade's nose started to bleed.
So he hurriedly reminded: "Jade, you have a nosebleed."
Jade was a little surprised. She put down the bowl and chopsticks and touched her nostrils. Sure enough, there was blood flowing out. Bai Shuyu hurriedly took out his handkerchief and handed it to Jade, but Jade didn't seem to be panicked and just said lightly: "Occasionally nosebleeds occur, so don't panic."
This made Bai Shuyu even more confused. How could she occasionally have nosebleeds when she was in such good shape?
Seeing Bai Shuyu's doubts, Li Fenglan gave him an elbow and said angrily: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask... Jade, use my square scarf... Jade!"
Li Fenglan suddenly raised her voice, and everyone else who was eating looked at her and Jade.
I saw Jade pinching her nostrils, but there were blood drops oozing from the corners of her eyes and ears!
But Jade didn't notice anything unusual. She looked at Li Fenglan doubtfully and asked, "Why..." Before she could finish her words, Jade felt a dizzy feeling, and then she started to feel severe pain in her chest. As she covered her heart with one hand, a mouthful of blood surged into her throat, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound. Immediately, blood began to pour out of his eyes, ears, and nostrils.
