Yun Fan didn't expect that this Liuyun City Lord would so generously admit that he had sent a killer to assassinate him. Thinking of this, Yun Fan frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Nantang smiled indifferently and asked Yun Fan, "What, is it a surprise?"

Yun Fan didn't answer Nantang's question directly, but turned around: "It seems that the city lord guessed that we would be here today, right?"

Nantang glanced at Xia Hui, who was standing beside Yun Fan, and then continued to say to Yun Fan: "I did guess that you would come to me, but I didn't expect it to be today, and still in this way. ”

Yun Fan: "This is really a sad story. ”

Nantang: "So, are you two here to kill me?"

Yun Fan: "No, and there is no need for this." ”

Nantang: "Since the two of you are not here to kill me, then you plan to take me hostage as a threat?"

Yun Fan: "I have this plan, but now it seems a little unrealistic." In my impression, Nantang, the city lord of Liuyun City, should not have such skills. ”

Nantang smiled and said, "What Young Master Yun said is like this, could it be that he is referring to this move of 'grabbing the white blade empty-handed'?"

Yun Fan: "In my opinion, it's not that simple. ”

Hearing this, Nantang's gaze had completely turned to Xia Hui. He silently looked at the female general in front of him, until he found that the female general's armor was tattooed with the veins of green sunflowers.

It was the family totem of the Xia clan of the Liuyun City of the Shuguo Kingdom.

"If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency is the only daughter of the Xia clan of Liuyun City, Xia Hui?" Nantang asked curiously, but saw Xia Hui frowning slightly, and did not respond to Nantang's question.

Nantang smiled awkwardly, roughly sure that his judgment should be right, so he patted the dust on his body and said, "If there is something to discuss, it is better to move to the study with me." Standing here all the time doesn't solve the problem. ”

Yun Fan and Xia Hui listened and glanced at each other.

"Of course, I wouldn't mind if the two of you were going to talk here. Nantang said politely, "It's just that in my opinion, this is not the place to talk about things." ”

Xia Hui: "I used to discuss with my father here. ”

Yun Fan listened and coughed.

He knew that Xia Hui didn't want to give in, but the current situation was that the Liuyun City Lord in front of him could easily kill Xia Hui and then hit Yun Fan hard with a snap of his fingers. And Xia Hui's meaning is obviously that she doesn't want to leave this dark pavilion, because if she follows Nantang's meaning, she and Yun Fan will "go deep into the tiger's den" next.

It will also mean that the danger will grow.

In the plan that Xia Hui and Yun Fan discussed before, if there was an accident, they would directly coerce Nantang to leave here, or kill Nantang on the spot. But now it seems that the chances of them succeeding can be said to be very small.

After a moment of thought, Yun Fan said to Nantang:

"Please lead the way. ”

Nantang smiled slightly and motioned for the two to follow. Xia Hui looked at Nantang's back coldly, and muttered to Yun Fan: "Do you believe him?"

Yun Fan didn't answer Xia Hui's question, but sighed helplessly: "It's still too late for you to turn around now." ”

Without waiting for Xia Hui to respond to Yun Fan, Yun Fan followed Nantang's footsteps and walked towards the location of the study. Xia Hui glanced at the bookshelf at the entrance of the dark passage behind him, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to keep up with Yun Fan's footsteps.

At this time, there were only Nantang, Yun Fan and Xia Hui in the study.

Obviously, Nantang was not ready to meet Yun Fan and Xia Huihe. Otherwise, he would not be the only one waiting for these two people here at this moment.

When the bookshelves in the dark pavilion moved, Nantang had already sensed that someone had broken into through his breath. And it is also through the secret passage in the dark pavilion, the secret passage that Nantang has heard of but has never been able to find.

Although Nantang doesn't know what the purpose of Yun Fan and Xia Hui's trip is, it is certain that since they are here now, Nantang will definitely not let them leave easily. Whether it's Yun Fan or Xia Hui.

Yun Fan and Xia Hui naturally thought of this for a long time.

So before coming, the two were ready to die.

However, Nantang has no plans to kill them now. Although before that, he had tried his best to kill Yun Fan. What changed Nantang's mind was mainly Ao Xin's letter. I have to admit that although Nantang didn't want to pay attention to what Ao Xian said in the letter, now he had to think about it very seriously.

Looking at Xia Hui, who was full of murderous intent, Nantang smiled secretly. Yun Fan, who saw this scene, roughly guessed that what Nantang was thinking about at the moment was mostly related to the dark passages built by the Xia clan in Liuyun City.

After a moment of thought, Yun Fan suddenly had a plan.

At present, for Nantang, Xia Hui's value is greater than that of Yun Fan. But for the current situation in Mexico and even in the current situation, Yun Fan is definitely more valuable than Xia Hui.

When Yun Fan was thinking in his heart about how to use some of the information Xia Hui knew to mediate with Nantang, Nantang, who had a ghost in his heart, had already taken the lead in asking Xia Hui questions, completely ignoring what kind of eyes Yun Fan was looking at him at this time.

"As early as when I was lurking in the Shu Kingdom, I heard that there were many secret passages built by the Xia clan in this Liuyun City in the north of Jibei. The sudden appearance of the two of them today reminded me of this rumor that I almost forgot. Between the words, Nantang picked up the teacup and poured tea for himself. This cup of tea Nantang didn't plan to share with Yun Fan or Xia Hui, but when drinking tea, Nantang still looked at the two symbolically, "This cup of tea is the most famous "Xuanyu" in our Mo country, although the taste is bitter, but it is very refreshing. Do you two need to try it?"

Yun Fan: "Jibei laypeople don't understand tea. ”

Xia Hui listened, sneered, and did not answer.

Nantang smiled awkwardly, and then turned to say, "So, the two of you arrived here through the rumored secret passage built by the Xia clan, right?"

Yun Fan glanced at Xia Hui, and Xia Hui said coldly: "If there is anything you want to ask, just say it." There are no outsiders here either. There's no need to beat around the bush. ”

Yun Fan on the side wanted to round the field when he saw this, after all, Xia Hui's words were too straightforward. In view of the fact that the current situation is not conducive to Yun Fan and Xia Hui realizing their original plan, Yun Fan wants to stabilize this Liuyun City Lord first, and does not want to provoke Nantang as easily as Xia Hui now.

If this Flowing Cloud City Lord of the Mexican Kingdom suddenly injured and detained the two of them, then the next story would probably spread in the form of a joke in the teahouses and wine shops of the Heavenly Kingdom. At that time, the story will be based on Xia Hui Yunfan, who tried to kidnap the Lord of Liuyun City, and finally be detained in Liuyun City, and add a lot of ironic drama.

Of course, these things are not what Yun Fan needs to think about right now. Before Yun Fan could figure out what he should say next, Nantang and Xia Hui smiled slightly: "I want to know where the entrances and exits of these secret passages are, and how many secret passages there are in Liuyun City today, and what is the purpose of these secret passages?"

Xia Hui frowned slightly: "If I don't say it, will the City Lord kill me on the spot?" After all, with the skills of the City Lord, it should be a very easy thing to kill me now and seriously injure this Young Lord Yun at the same moment. ”

"General Xia is really funny. Nantang smiled and continued, "If General Xia is unwilling to speak, Nantang will not be reluctant. But then again, if Nantang wants to know very much, there must be a way to make the general speak willingly. ”

Xia Hui's cold gaze touched Nantang,

"Is this threatening me, Lord Lord?"

"I'm just reminding the general. Nantang paused, "Don't waste each other's time and patience." It stands to reason that in the face of the upcoming alliance of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom and the Tianwu Kingdom, we should stand on the same front, solve the external threat first, and then deal with our Dongji family affairs. I wonder what Young Master Yun thinks about this?"

"Right...... Right...... That's right!"

At this time, after Yun Fan heard Nantang's words, he didn't know what to say. It seems that since he and Xia Hui stepped out of the dark path, the things they have experienced now are basically beyond the expectations of the two.

At first, Yun Fan thought that this Liuyun City Lord was not so easy to talk to. After all, Xuanmo Wufeng, who was supposed to be supported as a hero, was imprisoned by him as a war criminal as soon as he arrived in Liuyun City. And Han Zhao, who was supposed to replace Nantang as the lord of Liuyun City, was gradually alienated and marginalized by Nantang with some small means.

In Yun Fan's eyes, this Flowing Cloud City Lord of the Mo Kingdom should not be so easy to talk like he is now. Maybe it was because there were too many accidents today, so Yun Fan didn't slow down for a while. So, after he responded to Nantang's question, he continued to follow Nantang's words: "In other words, the city lord of Nantang is actually very much in favor of the next battle of Liuyun City, and our Dongji countries will abandon their previous suspicions and share the same hatred for the enemy?"

"Well, but that's only temporary. ”

Nantang took a sip of tea in the cup and said lightly.

Yun Fan smiled slightly: "Naturally, it is temporary." ”

Xia Hui sneered and said nothing, looking at Yun Fan and Nantang indifferently, with the murderous intent in his eyes. Although she wanted to kill this Liuyun City Lord who was sitting on the main throne very much now, she thought that her skills were not as good as him, and she was very likely to be killed, so in the end, she just sat quietly and waited for the opportunity as she is now.

In contrast, Yun Fan is looking for opportunities to facilitate this deal, which has not yet officially begun. The purpose of the two of them was not to kill Nantang, but to promote the conclusion of a wartime alliance between the three kingdoms of Mexico, Shu, and Xia, and then put themselves in danger.

Of course, what Yun Fan is thinking about now is how to complete this transaction at the least cost. Obviously, Xia Hui didn't want to share the secret of Liuyun City's secret passage with Nantang as a bargaining chip, but now it's a little embarrassing that Nantang has set his sights on this secret that Xia Hui doesn't want to tell.
