This trip to Chang'an didn't encounter any setbacks along the way, but as we approached the gate of Chang'an City, we encountered three waves of people.
The first wave was from brothers Zhan Tianhong, and the second wave was from Chen Zijue.
Li Fenglan looked at the man in black blocking the road in front of her, and asked in a bad tone: "Yeyu Xiaozhu is gone, and you are still wearing such conspicuous clothes. Do you think you have a long life?"
The man in black cupped his fists and said, "Miss Li misunderstood, I am not from Yeyu Xiaozhu."
"Don't care who you are, what do you want from me?"
"Ms. Li, my husband asked me to send you a letter."
Li Fenglan sneered and asked, knowingly: "Your husband's surname is Chen?"
"No," the man shook his head and replied, "My husband's name is Tian Qing, and he is a descendant of the Zongheng lineage."
Li Fenglan rolled her eyes vigorously: "Then does your husband study under Zhang Yi or Su Qin?"
"I don't know about that."
"Don't talk nonsense, bring me the letter."
The man in black handed over a letter, but Li Fenglan did not open it, but asked: "What else does your husband want you to do?"
The man in black shook his head and replied: "No, that's all."
"Then let's go."
The man in black bowed again, turned and left.
Jade asked in a low voice: "Aren't you going to kill him?"
Li Fenglan shook his head: "If we don't kill, there is no point. We must avoid trouble before entering Chang'an."
Li Fenglan opened the letter as she spoke, and Jade opened the fire fold to illuminate it.
Li Fenglan looked at the letter and frowned.
Jade asked: "What's wrong?"
"This guy is exactly what I thought. He wants to be stable for the rest of his life, but I really can't trust him. But he has cards in his hand now. If I want to win this game more thoroughly, I have to cooperate with him."
Li Fenglan looked worried and continued: "As you saw just now, Qingfengguan's attitude towards us has changed. Taoist Zhang cannot always speak for me, and I don't want to ruin his reputation, so... this matter must be done Solve it quickly, don't delay. Jade, where is Bai Shuyu?"
Jade looked behind and replied, "Always in the middle of the team."
"Call him over here. I have something to discuss with him."
Without much effort, Bai Shuyu followed Jade on horseback, with a look of reluctance on his face.
"Li Fenglan, what's the matter? Didn't I tell you that you can do the planning yourself? I don't want to get involved now."
Li Fenglan was very unhappy: "Then why are you following me? Apart from this second-rate brain, do you have any other use? Can I count on you when the fight starts?"
Bai Shuyu had no choice but to ask: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Li Fenglan handed Chen Zijue's letter to Bai Shuyu. Bai Shuyu couldn't help laughing while reading the letter.
"Hahahahaha, to return the fate of Guigu Sect leader Zhu Sha, this Chen Zijue is quite playful... If you ask me, just agree to him. Anyway, you have the upper hand now, so there is room for mistakes."
Li Fenglan said: "But I don't know where Chen Zijue is now, and I can't figure out his location. I'm a little flustered. Bai Shuyu, let your people search for him in Chang'an City."
Bai Shuyu asked: "How are you sure he is in Chang'an City?"
"Guess."
As for the third wave of people, there is only one, He Nannan.
It was already dawn when they arrived at the gate of Chang'an City. Tang Bailing, who rushed back to the hiding place in the early morning, arranged for He Nannan to pick up Li Fenglan and the others at the gate of the city.
Not far from Chang'an, their group had already broken into pieces and entered the city one after another. Li Fenglan and the others entered the city relatively late.
Looking at the good sisters he hadn't seen for almost two years, He Nannan jumped up excitedly.
"Amber!" He Nannan ran over after being far away.
Amber also jumped off the horse early, shouting: "Nan Nan!"
The two little girls were smiling happily, as if they missed each other very much.
Li Fenglan said angrily: "They two... Why are they pretending to be good sisters?"
Jade nodded with deep understanding: "It's too fake."
Zhu Mingyu asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you two? Amber has a good sister other than you two, aren't you happy?"
Jade turned to look at Zhu Mingyu and said solemnly: "Do you think Amber is quite innocent and cute?"
"yes."
"I never speak ill of people behind their backs. I speak out and say whatever I have to say."
"yes."
"Congratulations, Zhu Mingyu, you will see a different amber soon."
Zhu Mingyu was confused.
He Nannan came over to say hello to Li Fenglan and Feicui. Li Fenglan also introduced Hanlu and Bai Shuyu to her. She had met Zhu Mingyu last time when he returned to the valley to propose marriage.
The group of people entered the city slowly, and Amber led the horse and walked beside Zhu Mingyu. There are many people entering the city, and the city gate is noisy.
Amber suddenly whispered to Zhu Mingyu, "He Nannan is a hypocrite."
"Huh?" Zhu Mingyu wondered, thinking: Didn't you two act like good sisters just now?
Amber whispered again: "She often tells others that I am stupid. Let me tell you, she is the stupidest child in the valley. I am not as stupid as her."
Zhu Mingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed the top of Hu Hu's head: "Melon girl, even if you are not the last one, it is not honorable to be the second last."
Hu Bo didn't care about Zhu Mingyu's words, stared at He Nannan's back, and said viciously: "You have to fight with me about everything, good or bad, she will overwhelm me. She is the one I hate the most."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Nannan turned to look at Hu Hua with a bright smile on her face: "Hu Hui, there is a preserve shop over there in Ping'an Fang. The food is very delicious. Do you want to go with me?"
Amber's expression suddenly became bright and sunny: "Okay!"
After saying that, he threw the reins to Zhu Mingyu and ran forward arm in arm with He Nannan.
Seeing the two people running away gradually, Zhu Mingyu was speechless.
Han Lu, who had listened to all their conversations, suppressed a smile and patted Zhu Mingyu on the shoulder: "No one is perfect, they all have flaws."
Zhu Mingyu shook Han Lu's hand away and asked Li Fenglan: "How many people does Hu Bo still have trouble with?"
Li Fenglan smiled and said, "Hu Bo has a good relationship with everyone, and she doesn't have trouble dealing with Nan Nan either. Look at how good their relationship is."
Jade rolled her eyes at Li Fenglan and said, "What's good? They went to buy preserves. What do you think it's because of?"
Li Fenglan was puzzled: "Why?"
"Eating sweets will make you fat. I bet no one will eat the candied fruits they bought. They all want to see the other person gain weight."
Zhu Mingyu was puzzled: "Hu Hua usually eats sweet things... No, wait a minute, He Nannan left with Hu Hua, where are we going?"
…
After He Nannan returned, she could not avoid being taught a lesson by Tang Bailing again.
This girl is good at everything, but she slips away too easily.
Sure enough, as Jade said, she didn't eat a bite of the candied fruit that Amber bought, forcing Zhu Mingyu to eat them all. We met in the yard at night, and Amber said hypocritically, "Oh, the candied fruits are so delicious. I ate them all in the afternoon. Nannan, have you eaten yet?"
Zhu Mingyu noticed that the corners of He Nannan's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and then replied with a smile: "I ate them all too."
Amber smiled and said, "Is it delicious?"
He Nannan smiled and replied: "It's delicious."
"Then can I go sit in your room for a while? (Go and check if you have really finished eating.)"
"Why? (I won't let you check.)"
"We haven't seen each other for such a long time, so we need to have a good chat. (I just want to check it out.)"
"Then let's go to your room. (I have to check yours first.)"
"Okay! (Just come, do you think I'm afraid of you?)"
Zhu Mingyu felt a little headache. During the day, she endured her sleepiness and discussed tomorrow's affairs with Li Fenglan and the others. In the evening, she had to accompany Hu Bo and He Nannan to act.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Although Li Fenglan and his party have been walking sleeplessly for two days and one night, they still cannot sleep peacefully tonight.
For the Yuan family, this is also a sleepless night.
Although Li Fenglan and his party entered Chang'an in pieces, they did not escape the eyes of the Yuan family. There were so many of them, and coming in at once would definitely attract others' attention. After learning that so many people had entered Chang'an, Yuan Fengling became even more anxious, and the strategizing image she pretended to have in the past completely collapsed.
But the Yuan family had no choice but to listen to her and take it one step at a time.
She walked restlessly back and forth in the room until around Yinshi, the door was pushed open and Liuli, dressed in night clothes, walked in.
Yuan Fengling asked hurriedly: "How's it going? What did they say?"
Liuli replied: "They said that they have already arranged the manpower to set up defenses in the Yuan family. The people in Changfeng Tower are not aware of their existence, and they don't know that if you join forces with the people behind the scenes, you will attack Changfeng Tower." Caught off guard.”
"What about the Thorn Gate? Has anyone discovered the Thorn Gate?"
Liuli's expression was a little haggard. She was the only one helping Yuan Fengling run around these days, and she was worried about others. After all, Liuli is not made of iron, and her feet have not touched the ground today.
She patiently said to Yuan Fengling: "Now our spies in Chang'an are restricted in every aspect and have no way to control the overall situation... We have tried our best. The rest depends on fate."
Yuan Fengling shook his head vigorously: "I don't believe in destiny."
Liuli advised: "I have already prepared the troops to escape. If Changfeng Tower launches an attack tomorrow, you can leave."
"Liu Li, I won't leave. I haven't lost yet... As long as what they promise me is true, I can still win!"
Liuli suddenly felt a little tired. She took two steps back and sat heavily on the chair. There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her breathing was a little unsteady.
"Miss, what's the matter... we'll talk about it later, I want to take a rest."
Yuan Fengling walked up behind her, reached out and patted her back, and poured her another bowl of tea: "I was negligent, Liuli, you have worked hard enough today... Just rest in my room tonight."
…
Chen Zijue couldn't sleep either. He was no more relaxed than Yuan Fengling now.
A man in black walked up behind him and asked, "Mr. Tianqing, is there anything else you want to give me?"
Chen Zijue shook his head: "No, everything is ready...Ah, no, everything is not ready yet."
The man in black asked, "Is there anything else?"
"A retreat," Chen Zijue turned to look at the man in black with a vague smile on his face, "Even if it is a sure-win situation, you must leave a retreat for yourself. Where is your master's retreat?"
"Mr. Chen, this should be something you consider."
Chen Zijue grinned: "It's useless to ask. Your master must have thought of a way out for himself, but...if he wants to hide, he'd better take me with him."
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"
Chen Zijue took two steps towards the man in black, with a mysterious expression on his face: "Let me ask you, you are the one who leads your master's men, right?"
"right."
"Your master is going to die, and he will die miserably."
The man in black's voice became serious: "What do you mean?"
"I betrayed him, of course he will die."
The man in black tightened his grip on the long knife at his waist: "Sir, please speak more clearly."
"I used your master's life in exchange for mine. Li Fenglan agreed to the deal. Think about it, this disaster has been avoided. Then I am the one who knows the most. With your master's temper, I What will happen to me? If I die, who else knows the most?”
The man in black trembled slightly but did not speak.
Chen Zijue then said: "Don't be so nervous. I know you want to say that your brothers will not betray you, but...how do you know that your master only has this wave of rare soldiers like you? Your fate is the same as mine. You have been by his side for so many years
, you should know his character. How did Qin Zhiyang die? How did Xu Zhenbiao die? But, he has no interest in giving you and me twenty years. ”Kanshu La
The man in black still didn't speak.
Chen Zijue said with a smile: "There are still three hours before dawn. If you and I want to survive, we must seize these three hours. To tell you the truth, my deployment of the ground bureau in Chang'an during this period is very important to Changfeng Tower. It's meaningless at all. Your every move is under the surveillance of the Bai family. Changfeng Tower, you can't win. If you don't know where your master's hiding place is in these three hours, wait until dawn. Li Fenglan will because If I break the promise, I will be killed, and you... I believe Li Fenglan will kill you by the way. Do you understand now? Only if your master dies can you and I live."
After a long time, the man in black finally spoke: "Sir, are you serious about what you said?"
Chen Zijue suddenly became impatient: "Why are you so ignorant? The northwest trade routes have been in chaos for almost a year, and suddenly someone unified the northwest underworld, and the entire trade routes became stable. Apart from you, does he have anything in his hands?" Less power you don’t know.”
The man in black finally made up his mind: "Okay... I believe sir for the moment, but..."
"I know what you want to ask. Don't worry, all you have to do is hand me over to Li Fenglan to settle the scores. As far as I know, she has nothing to do with you. Now Li Fenglan doesn't dare to kill people randomly. This Shaolin martial arts competition is Beat her."
