Taotie had no intention of hiding his whereabouts. He had been around Luoyang, seemingly monitoring every move of the Bai family.
Therefore, it was relatively easy for Zhu Mingyu and Shuo Feng to find him.
It was already evening, and the two people were hiding in the shadows of the woods, whispering something.
"I'm very familiar with this old boy. He's not a toy." Shuo Feng reported this arm with a look of disdain.
Zhu Mingyu nodded: "I have also heard some things about this person. To put it simply, he just doesn't do human affairs."
"Hey," Shuo Feng laughed, "In the past in Xiaozhu, I always didn't give him and Zhen a good look. To be honest, this old boy couldn't stand me."
Zhu Mingyu looked at the sky: "Isn't it because you broke your appointment? It's already dark, why haven't you come yet?"
"If you ask me, if I see him, I will punch him to death. It will save everyone trouble. This man is a disaster as long as he lives."
"It's not that simple, right? The year before last, my sixth senior brother stabbed him with a sword, and it passed through his heart, but he didn't even die."
Shuofeng shook his head: "This guy is different from ordinary people. Maybe he doesn't even have internal organs."
Zhu Mingyu narrowed his eyes and said in disbelief: "Real or false?"
"How do I know? Boy from the Zhu family, do you feel strange?"
Zhu Mingyu looked around: "I don't think there's anything strange."
Shuofeng said: "That's not what I'm talking about. I always feel that... Li Fenglan will not be caught so easily. Chen Zijue tried his best to deal with her but was unable to capture her, so he was caught just like that... I I really don’t believe it.”
Zhu Mingyu sighed: "I don't believe it either... Maybe it's because I have believed in her too much in the past two years... But now we can't help but not believe it."
While the two were talking, footsteps came from outside the woods. Several men in black walked into the woods. The leader was in black clothes and black robes, with no trace of skin visible.
Shuo Feng sneered: "Look, this is coming."
"Hehehehe," it was another sneer that made people feel cold to the core, "Chief Shuofeng, long time no see."
Shuo Feng also sneered: "Young Master, I am no longer from Yeyu Xiaozhu. I am not a leader anymore. I have come to see you for something."
"What's the matter?"
"We have grasped Chen Zijue's whereabouts and will be able to hand it over to you soon."
"Hey, hey, let's bring someone here. Let me remind you that there are only a few days until the agreed time. The girl named Li must be in pain now, right?"
Zhu Mingyu said: "This is exactly what we want to say. We will definitely not be able to catch Chen Zijue on the agreed date. It will have to be a few days later. It's not that we delay deliberately, but that we really can't catch him."
"Then what are you doing here?" Taotie's voice was already alert.
Shuofeng replied: "As long as you ask for medicine, it can make Miss Li live another month. We will definitely be able to hand over Chen Zijue to you in a few days."
Taotie already had murderous intent: "Then... let's not talk about it."
Shuofeng hung his hands on both sides of his body and said coldly: "Did you not understand the situation? If you don't take the medicine today, I will beat you to death and bury you with Miss Li. If you take the medicine, we will let you Both you and Miss Li can live with revenge, but don't you know how to settle this score?"
Taotie stopped talking, and the eyes in his cloak shot out with a chill. Now he is very angry and feels that he has been tricked.
Shuo Feng pressed and asked, "Have you thought about it? Give me an answer quickly. It will take two or three days before we go. By then Miss Li is dead. Not only will you not be able to see Chen Zijue, I will also try every means to kill you." I don’t have much friendship with Li Fenglan, but I have a close friendship with you, and I’ve long wanted to kill you.”
"Hahahaha!" Taotie laughed suddenly, "Okay, okay! Shuofeng's words are still the same as before, he is quick to talk!"
Taotie took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and threw it over, but Zhu Mingyu caught it.
"I can't keep her alive for a month. This medicine can only keep her alive for half a month. After half a month, I have to see Chen Zijue no matter what. Otherwise, I don't mind being buried with Miss Li."
Shuo Feng glanced at the medicine in Zhu Mingyu's hand and said, "You're an old boy, let's go."
…
Everyone in the Bai family gathered together, even Linghan came back.
The top priority is to stabilize Li Fengyao, and then how to save Li Fenglan.
Bai Shuyu looked at the people in front of him and said, "Li Fengyao sent someone here the day before yesterday and agreed to my conditions. This proves that there is a high possibility that Li Fenglan is still alive."
Jade asked: "What is your plan?"
"Negotiation...if she hands over Li Fenglan, we will no longer be enemies with her."
Tang Bailing asked: "Can it succeed? As far as I know, she is not someone who is easily persuaded."
Bai Shuyu replied: "We have more chips in our hands, including the treasure trove of the Golden God of Wealth that Li Fenglan knows, and the map in our hands. These two are very likely to convince her... Everyone, you have worked hard recently, go back and have a good rest. Bar."
"Wait a minute," Ayana suddenly said, "I...have something."
Linghan looked a little embarrassed. Bai Shuyu asked, "Miss Linghan, what's the matter?"
"You guys... pay more attention to the Thorn Gate."
Bai Shuyu frowned. He had not paid attention to the Thorns Sect for a long time. The two sides had not interacted with each other recently, let alone had any friction. Li Fenglan's affairs were the most important anyway, and he was too lazy to care about the Thorns Sect.
Bai Shuyu asked again: "What happened to the Thorn Gate?"
"They have made a lot of enemies recently and killed a lot of people... I don't know what their purpose is, I just think... it may affect our rescue of Feng Lan... That's what I said, there is no definite evidence."
Bai Shuyu nodded: "You are right, the Thorns Gate has been moving too frequently recently, and their target is also Li Fengyao, so we need to pay attention...Brother Fu, can you please go to the Thorns Gate to talk to Xu... Let’s meet with the hall master to see if we can find out anything.”
Fu Xiaohu nodded: "No problem."
After everything was said, everyone went back to rest.
Bai Shuyu didn't have the leisure and elegance to rest. He went to the forbidden area of the Bai family and stood quietly in front of Bai Xueyan's "grave". After he came back, he had a quarrel with Bai Boju, and the two brothers had a fierce quarrel. They didn't want to cause any trouble, it was more like simply venting their emotions.
Nowadays, the Bai family is full of holes. He once thought about giving up the struggle and moving his family to Chaolan Valley. At least they would be safe in Chaolan Valley. But I was still worried about my eldest sister and second brother, fearing that something would happen to them. After meeting the two of them this time, Bai Shuyu suddenly realized that if he wanted to make them truly safe, he could only eliminate all unstable factors around him.
Standing quietly in front of the tomb, Bai Shuyu closed his eyes. He needed to be clean.
He didn't know how long he stood there, but he didn't want to go back until his legs felt tired.
When he turned around, he saw a deep pit not far from the tomb - it was originally a pit, but the heavy rains in the past few days washed away the soil around the pit and filled it up instead of filling it up.
He saw what seemed to be a white thing in the still-dry soil. He walked over and picked up the thing. It was a piece of white cloth buried in the soil.
Bai Shuyu's eyes suddenly widened. He realized something. Regardless of his clean clothes, he lay down in the pit and started digging.
I don't know how long they dug until Feicui and Chen Ling'er came to look for him in the forbidden area. They were both a little shocked when they saw him digging.
"Third Young Master, what are you doing?"
Bai Shuyu didn't answer, and continued digging until his fingers touched something. Bai Shuyu stood up suddenly, handed the dug thing to Jade, and asked: "Jade, do you know this thing?"
Of course Feicui knew it, those were the earrings she gave to Li Fenglan.
"This is...the earring I gave her! Why is it in the pit?"
Bai Shuyu suddenly smiled and nodded: "There are only two explanations. One, they accidentally fell into the pit when they were captured. Two...she accidentally fell in when she climbed out of the pit!"
Chen Ling'er asked: "Which one do you think it is?"
"The second kind."
Jade asked: "Why are you so sure?"
Bai Shuyu took out the white cloth strips and some hair from his sleeves: "These should also belong to Li Fenglan. What does it mean?"
Bai Shuyu's smile became even brighter: "She was not taken away, but...someone wanted to kill her and threw her into the pit, hoping that she would be drowned in the mud and water. Unfortunately, our white phoenix climbed out on her own. Come out, she’s not dead!”
Chen Ling'er and Feicui thought of something almost at the same time. Before they could speak, Bai Shuyu said, "Don't ask her, don't alert the snake."
Jade asked: "But... if she is still alive, why doesn't she go back to Bai's house? She is covered in injuries, where can she go?"
Bai Shuyu smiled: "When she comes back, give her a good beating. She should have other plans, for example... take advantage of her disappearance to find a way to solve all the problems. Li Fengyao, Chen Zijue, Taotie . Hehe, I almost wanted to beat her up, but she probably didn’t expect that I did all the things she thought about... Jade, Ling’er, we won.”
"Wait a minute," Jade still didn't understand, "What about her?"
"Ask Muyun."
Chen Ling'er smiled: "Maybe the young couple will spend their time there... Phew..." After so many days, Chen Ling'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, she is fine. If something really happened, I would have to I blame myself to death. Then...do I have to keep this a secret from everyone?"
"Yes," Chen Zijue nodded, "I thought about it, and I can probably understand Li Fenglan's intention. If everyone knew that she was fine now, they would definitely not act like this. Don't tell everyone yet, so as not to get others involved."
Jade asked with a cold face: "What about me? I can't act."
"It's good that you don't have any expression. No one can tell whether you are happy or angry anyway."
"I'm so angry that I want to skin her alive!"
"Yes, yes, just keep this feeling."
The people who lured Li Fengyao and Chen Zijue came out, and they would be served in one pot, saving worry and trouble. Someone gave him a pillow when he fell asleep. Now there was no need to form an alliance with Chen Zijue. This man was a threat while he was alive, so we should kill him together.
Bai Shuyu felt particularly relaxed and the air felt fresh.
At this time, Jade suddenly asked worriedly: "Then... tell my mother?"
Bai Shuyu was also stunned. Yes, the Sword Immortal was still killing everyone outside. (They didn’t know that Chen Yan was persuaded by Li Yuzhuo.)
