At night, it's about four o'clock in the morning.

It's been a long time since this majestic city has enjoyed such a moment of tranquility, and the noise of the past all night has left briefly tonight.

At this time, the turmoil in the city gradually calmed down, and it took an hour from Li Xian's fierce fight to the restoration of tranquility.

Jiangfu.

There are also white lanterns with the words written on them inside and out, and the cold wind blows the lanterns and sways, but tonight is a little different from the past.

There was a little bit of pyrotechnics.

A little man walked out of the stove room in the backyard, carrying a wooden box in his hand, and stepped on the wind and snow to the main hall of the front yard, and then he could faintly hear rare laughter from inside.

"These are all things that Rong Xixi did. ”

Some milky voices rang out.

Jiang Qin stood on tiptoe slightly, and gently put the wooden box in his hand on the table, and the side dishes were brought out by the white and tender little hands.

She looked up at Li Xian, knelt down, her little head slammed on the bluestone slab, and her voice was a little crying: "Thank you for the general's life-saving grace that day, thank you for saving me and my father, Qin'er kowtowed to you." ”

boom

boom

boom

Li Xian had a complicated look in his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, outlined a gentle smile, and bent down to help her up.

Jiang Ru's eyes were slightly red, he took a breath of cold current, a doting smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and said softly to Qin'er: "Okay, Daddy and the general still have important things to discuss, it's time for Qin'er to go back to the house and sleep." ”

"Qin'er went down first......"

Xiao Jiangqin pursed the corners of his lips, nodded, and left under the leadership of the housekeeper Yang Bo.

It's not just Jiang Ru who has changed, but also her daughter. ’

Li Xian looked at Jiang Qin's back, remembering the maturity in her eyes that did not match her age, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"General, please take a seat......"

The two looked at each other, smiled at the same time, and sat down together.

Sitting opposite each other, a few side dishes, a pot of warm wine.

Both were in good spirits.

Li Xian took a bite of side dishes, took a sip of warm wine, and couldn't help but bow slightly.

Not to mention, the food cooked by this Rong Xixi is really good, he hasn't eaten this kind of home-cooked side dish for a while.

Jiang Ru noticed the details of Li Xian's head, and took the initiative to clip Li Xian with a piece of meat, with a soft smile on the corner of his mouth: "If the general likes it, you can come to ......Confucianism more often in your free time."

If these actions and words were to come out of other people's mouths, Li Xian would probably feel quite awkward in his heart, but if a gentleman like Jiang Ru did it, it would feel completely different.

It's like a spring breeze.

Sure enough, it's still a world that looks at appearance and temperament!

Li Xian swallowed the piece of meat and asked with a smile, "Why did you choose me again?"

The monarch chooses the minister, and the minister chooses the monarch.

Jiang Ru didn't answer in a hurry, but first reached out and picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass of warm wine, toasted Li Xian from afar, and drank it all: "Actually, the general chose me."

Jiang Ru knew that the general had great ambitions and ambitions in his heart, and he also knew that the general was working hard for the position of the county in the wilderness, and when the time came, the general would become the leader of a county, whether it was Confucian's mind or experience, it could provide great help to the general. ”

The wine fell from the spout, first toasted, and then drunk.

"If it weren't for the general's three rescues, Jiang Ruxing might not even have a chance to take revenge, and would have gone to Huangquan to reunite with his wife and children, how could he track down the real culprit behind the scenes like now. ”

Jiang Ru said loudly: "The general's kindness, Confucianism is remembered, and the ring is knotted. Do everything you can to assist the general in achieving great things. ”

"I believe in you. ”

It doesn't take too many words, this one sentence is enough.

Jiang Ru looked at Li Xian's serious eyes and bowed his head slightly.

Li Xian sat on the stool with his right hand on his chin, and there was curiosity in his tone: "I'm still more curious about how you laid it out and how you did it." ”

"It's not complicated. Speaking of this, Jiang Ru couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face: "It's a lot of favor, first of all, Ye Tongzhi really came all the way to the party to worship my wife and children."

"When I learned that he was going to Hongyuan Building, the plan was extra for him, I arranged for someone to steal his money bag, and I knew that the party didn't know anyone except me, and he could only let the little guy in Hongyuan Building come to the house to call me. ”

Li Xian bowed his head, this move is indeed clever.

He also thought that Ye Tongzhi was Jiang Ru's accomplice, but he didn't expect this person to know nothing.

"Where's that little guy?"

"Little ......" Jiang Ru smiled: "He doesn't know anything either." “

"Oh?" Li Xian sighed lightly, and the curiosity in his heart became stronger: "Go on." ”

Jiang Ru's eyes had a little reminiscence, and he slowly spoke:

"During my tenure in Wujun, I made many friends and saved many people, including two male and female disguise masters, they are Confucian's right-hand men, and before they came to the party, Confucianism arranged for them to come to the party to wait. ”

"The girl Qiongdan and I I saw at that time were actually disguised by those two people. Jiang Ru continued: "When the little guy leaves, his task has been completed.

"As for me, I was waiting in Miss Qiongdan's boudoir in advance, and the only thing that surprised me was that this Qiongdan girl was actually a martial artist in the bone-changing stage, or a member of the Netherworld Sect. ”

Li Xian said: "It's that simple?"

Jiang Ru shook his head: "Actually, there is still a hand, Shen Lang." ”

'Shen Lang?!'

Li Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, he remembered Shen Lang's words before leaving, and he couldn't imagine that there were words in the words, and there was a hidden mystery.

"I have a complicated relationship with him...... I can't tell you for a while, if there is really an uncontrollable accident at that time, Shen Lang, as the official in charge of the trial, will directly release me according to the law according to the testimony. ”

"Then this favor is very useful. ”

Jiang Ru nodded nondeniably.

At this time, Li Xian already understood all of Jiang Ru's plans. If he didn't do the first two steps perfectly, Shen Lang wouldn't risk his life to help him, it seems simple, but in fact, every step is deliberate, and if there is a slight accident on the way, he will lose everything.

Jiang Ru said softly: "In everything, think about defeat first, and then think about victory." ”

Li Xian said with emotion: "I want to ...... With your help, the road ahead will be much easier for me. ”

"The general will not abandon each other, but is willing to serve the dogs and horses. ”

As they said this, the two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

The cold wind and snow outside were howling, but they couldn't extinguish the wildfire in their hearts.

......

Three rounds of drinking.

A few small dishes on the table were empty, and there was not a drop of warm wine left in the light drink.

The two were silent for a while.

Having said that, it is difficult for Li Xian to describe his feelings for Jiang Ru.

Don't look at the harmony between the two of them, but in fact, the two sides just tacitly reached a consensus on cooperation, This cooperation is based on the fact that he saved Jiang Ru's life three times, and Jiang Ru can help him with what he has learned.

But......

To be honest, this kind of fetters that are completely composed of interests, Li Xian feels uncomfortable.

Or to put it more accurately, it is for the interest group that aspires to build him as the core.

He hopes that the core characters can be bundled with feelings and interests to ensure the steady sailing of this big ship.

Therefore, Li Xian decided to listen carefully to Jiang Ru's story.

Although he knew Jiang Ru's specific plan and layout when he was in the mansion, and he could also understand his desire for revenge in the face of the death of his wife and children, which can be understood, but Jiang Ru at that time was like a time bomb, which did not meet his interests, so he naturally didn't care about Jiang Ru's story.

Now he wanted to hear more about the details he hadn't even bothered to know at the time.

Jiang Ru...... Let's talk about what I didn't finish at the time. Li Xian's eyes were serious, "It's not about your plan." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ru was stunned.

His mind turned very fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, he understood what Li Xian meant, the fingers holding the wine glass involuntarily a little hard, his eyes were complicated, and he was silent.

Li Xian wasn't in a hurry, just looked at the empty darkness behind him.

The scattered cold wind blew in, and the candle flame swayed violently, and it was only momentarily stabilized by a gentle force.

It was at this time.

Jiang Ru pretended to laugh with relief, his eyes stared at the bottom of the glass with a little wine remaining, and his tone was low: "Actually, there is only one reason for the beginning......"

The flickering candle flame reflected the shadows beside the two of them, stretching for a long time.

Li Xian wanted to take a sip of warm wine, but he was lonely.

Ridiculous!

At this time, he really understood and approached Jiang Ru's heart. It is not surprising that Jiang Ru has such a strong sense of revenge, if it were him, he is afraid that he will be a hundred times more aggressive.

"I didn't expect it to be such a ridiculous farce......"

Who would have thought that the whole thing was caused by the Ten Thousand Demon Ding, who would have thought that the mastermind behind the scenes was actually planned and arranged by the Netherworld Sect, and how many lives were taken during this period, and Jiang Ru's wife and children died because of it.

"Yes...... A ridiculous farce that many people did not expect. ”

'There is only one way to look at a red carriage as green. ’

Li Xian couldn't help rubbing the stubble on his chin with his thumb, and said to Jiang Ru: "That mountain bandit called Rabbit should be colorblind. ”

Jiang Ru glanced up at Li Xian and said suspiciously, "Color blindness?"

"Right...... It's a problem with the eyes, and it's easy to see red as green and green as red. ”

This is an interesting new word, and with Jiang Ru's ingenuity, he quickly understood the meaning of this word.

Jiang Ru was silent and bowed his head slightly, his eyes flashing with thoughts.

Although figuring out the cause of this absurdity was neither joyful nor sad for him, he had become accustomed to burying his anger and sorrow deep in his heart.

In fact, the whole thing has gradually surfaced, and the truth has been revealed nine times out of ten.

Li Xian noticed Jiang Ru's pensive appearance, and tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and the latter looked up at him when he heard the voice.

Li Xian smiled: "Just say anything directly, your business is my business!"

"If it weren't for what he saw and heard with his own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the general would not have been weakened. Jiang Ru smiled: "Actually, I am still unwilling." ”

"Are you unwilling?" Li Xianqi said: "Why are you unwilling?"

"There's one person missing. ”

"Who?"

"Mr. Liang!"

"Tell me ......"

Judging from the honorific title and the confessions of the rest of the people, this Mr. Liang should be the person who is specifically responsible for giving advice, which means that there must be someone behind him, and it is certain that he is not a member of the Netherworld. ”

The reason for this is very simple, the Netherworld Sect has its own large number of members, and there is no need to go to the trouble of raising a group of mountain bandits to do things for themselves.

"The most important thing is...... Being able to investigate the whereabouts of the Gongsun family on the official road, even if it is a side line, is definitely not something that can be done easily. ”

Regarding what Gongsun Yan passed behind Jiang Ru, he couldn't hide it at all, just check it a little. It's just that no one would have thought that Gongsun Yan would have ten thousand demon tripods in his hands at that time.

On the other hand, no matter Jiang Ru, Li Xian or Gongsun Yan, they all took the official road, and there was only one official road to Shangdang County, and there was a post station on the way, and if you wanted to rest and replenish, you could only complete it through the post station.

The most important point is that you need to register your identity when you enter and leave the station, where you come from, where you are going, how many people are with you, and what is loaded on the car?

The recorded books will only be stored in the hands of the personnel arranged by the government, and the books cannot be consulted by anyone.

That's why Jiang Ru couldn't let go of it in his heart.

He believed that the Netherworld was also one of the culprits, one of them!

There is another person who killed his wife and children, and this person has the power behind him to rely on, and he can't be shaken casually!

In fact, the current progress of events is the limit of Jiang Ru's ability, and no matter how many connections and friends he has in the future, it will not help.

After listening to Jiang Ru's analysis, Li Xian fell into deep thought. According to Jiang Ru's statement, it is true that this matter is far from coming to an end.

But when he thought of this, a subtle emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

What is it?

He felt like he had caught the tail, but he was still a little bit close.

"Click...... Click...... Click......" fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.

Seeing this, Jiang Ru didn't bother Li Xian, just waited silently, his eyes looking at the flickering candle flame.

That's right, that's right, it's Old Lou's words. ’

A sense of enlightenment suddenly rose in Li Xian's heart.

He had thought that the reason why Lao Lu would act cleanly tonight was that someone must have contributed to the political aspect, otherwise Lu Guangxin would not ring the [battle bell] and use such drastic means.

So......

Is it possible that this person who helped Lao Lu make a move will be another mastermind behind the scenes?

But something is wrong.

There's another problem here.

It's not in line with Lao Lu's character!

has done so many things, and he is still a very influential figure at the political level, and he is also in the same stream as the Netherworld Sect, conspiring with the Ten Thousand Demon Ding!

No matter how huge the power behind this person is, as long as he is in the party, Lu Guangxin will definitely not let him go.

"Tsk-"

Li Xian rubbed his eyebrows, a little headache.

Now it seems that only by finding out this Mr. Liang can we really figure out who is behind the scenes. But the key is...... It's hard for them to meddle anymore now.

In this case, from tonight onwards, Spiegel must have been completely involved, and the identities of the two are very embarrassing, one is the military, and the other is a dismissed official.

There's no way to push forward!

"Headache...... Headache...... It's a nuisance. Li Xian thought helplessly.

At this moment, as soon as he looked up, he saw Jiang Ru looking at him with a look of hidden expectation. Now that he is his own person, Li Xian did not hide it from Jiang Ru, so he told him everything he thought of.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ru just bowed his head in silence.

He had expected this for a long time, and he had had this kind of speculation in his heart a long time ago, but he lacked a factual confirmation.

If everything goes according to his plan, then in the end...... That is, to really find this Mr. Liang, through this bait to catch the big fish behind the scenes, if it is really an unmatchable opponent, he will wait, wait, until he waits for an excellent opportunity for revenge, as long as he can see the blood of the enemy flowing out, no matter how many years he will wait.

In fact, this idea was not his original idea...... If Li Xian hadn't said that to him at that time, Jiang Ru, who was carried away by revenge and ignored it, would have chosen the way of burning jade.

For a moment, the two fell into a dead silence again.

In fact, there is one of the most straightforward ways, that is, to ask Lao Lu clearly!

He must be the one who knows the truth best.

But the two of them tacitly ruled out this option, because Lao Lu wanted to tell him that he had said it in the Spiegel Division tonight, so why wait for him to figure it out for himself.

Li Xian looked at Jiang Ru's cold side face and couldn't help but feel sad secretly.

Even if the two reached a cooperative relationship, they could not really get close in an instant, and at the same time, he also very much hoped to help Jiang Ru deal with this matter.

In this way, the two of them will have better development when they are in the same boat.

Time passed, and the lamp oil on the table gradually burned out.

......

......

Time passed again to the moment when the [Battle Bell] rang.

Hongyuan Building.

At the moment when the bell rang, this top green building in Shangdang County was surrounded by the Ming Spiegel Division and the officials in the yamen.

The cries of pain rang out one after another, and everyone from the old bustard to the small slave who washed the clothes was handcuffed by the servants and violently pushed out.

"Wronged...... Wronged...... There must be some misunderstanding among the adults. ”

"Brother Yan, Brother Yan...... I'm Cui'er, I'm Cui'er, I'm wronged...... You know me!"

All they responded to was a cold silence.

Is it really wronged or falsely wronged...... That's not something they can say clearly.

At this time, in the depths of the Hongyuan Building.

A sturdy figure wanted to abscond through the secret passage, but unexpectedly, a few catchers had been waiting there for a long time, and as soon as Fang fought for a few rounds, this person was beaten to pieces all over his body, lying on the ground and breathing, and then all the positions where he could commit suicide were again divided into muscles, and he was put on several torture tools and secret medicines by the officials to ensure that nothing went wrong.

This was the only battle that took place in Hongyuan Tower, and it was quickly quelled in a short time.

This person is the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper of Hongyuan Building. Well...... One!

He is considered to be the person who is specially responsible for managing the affairs of the Hongyuan Building arranged by the Netherworld Sect, and his martial arts cultivation is not very high, and his only advantage is that he can do business and be careful with his calculations.

It's just unfortunate that even if he noticed something was wrong at the first time, he immediately wanted to sneak away through the secret passage and was left to wait for him, and he couldn't even commit suicide, what was waiting for him was...... Hell!

Just as he was being roughly dragged out by the officials, every girl, bustard, turtle prince, and even the subordinates in this red garden building looked at this behind-the-scenes boss they had never seen before with extremely hateful eyes.

You don't have to think about it to know that even if they can avoid the death penalty, they will not escape the living crime.

For the rest of their lives, they will either be assigned to a certain place to build an official road, or they will work as coolies in government-run mines and other places for the rest of their lives.

In just a cup of tea, the red lantern, which seemed to exude an ambiguous halo forever, was rudely ripped off and stepped on the soles of his feet. The gate was sealed by two officials, and the noisy Hongyuan Building fell into a dead silence.

If the people of the party see this situation, they must be full of emotion in their hearts. On weekdays, when you look at it from afar, you will spontaneously appear in front of you, and you will smell the delicate and charming cries of the girls, and all kinds of graceful and charming imaginations will disappear under the seal.

After a while, several shadows swept into the Hongyuan Tower.

At this time, it was time for the ghost department to play.

And all this is clearly seen by two pairs of eyes on a tall building in the distance.

"Well, now! All the plans I have made in the party for more than 10 years have come to naught. ”

"The pride worm is dead...... Ten Thousand Demon Ding, who had been planning for a long time, now didn't know if it had fallen into the hands of Lu Yang of the Pure Yang Palace. ”

A man wrapped in black shouted in anger, and then he ripped off the black mask from his face. revealed an ordinary-looking face, only a pair of eyes flashing with cruelty, which made people tremble.

"What do you say, how do you explain to the sect leader, there is no plan overnight. ”

The other, dressed in black robes and wearing an ebony ghost mask. There was also a thick scarlet flickering in his pupils, but he took a deep breath of cold current, forcibly suppressed the mania in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"What can we do now? What can we do?! We can't stay in the party for long, or the birds will find us sooner or later. ”

For a moment, the two fell into a dead silence.

Now they don't want to report it, hoping to get it back. In fact, when Wan Demon Ding woke up again, they sensed it for the first time, but they didn't dare to do anything, and the figures flying past outside the window one after another, extremely terrifying strong qi suddenly rose all over the city, how dare they move.

Isn't it obvious to go out and die?

These two people are the men in black who met Yuan Qianjun one after the other.

The man with the ebony demon mask suddenly spoke, "Since you are leaving, you must take the Holy Son with you." ”

"Yuan Qianjun, impossible, impossible......" The other person looked up at him suddenly, and said in disbelief: "This guy has already rebelled, and he wishes to break off his relationship with us, not to mention that we have fallen into such a miserable place." ”

The demon mask on his face was removed, revealing an ugly face full of scars, his face was crisscrossed with scars, and there was a scarlet blood spot in his pupils, and his expression was hidden in madness:

"I have a way for him to follow us obediently, and we also need the Yuan family's door to leave Shangdang County smoothly. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, without further ado. Let's go now!"

After saying that, the figures of the two suddenly blurred, but they disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

......

......
