Chapter 16: The Case of Extermination
As a subordinate, Xia Ke would definitely not dine at the same table as Sikong Yan, not to mention that he was observing whether there were any suspicious characters outside the window, and Fengshuang had not come back from shopping. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo Shen Lanying sat opposite Sikong Yan and enjoyed breakfast in a leisurely manner.
Just as the two were eating, there was a sudden loud bang downstairs, Shen Lanying just stood up to get the soy milk at this time, and was startled by the huge noise, and a pot of soy milk was directly out of her hand in the air, and all of it was spilled into the porridge basin below.
Shen Lanying was stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly at Sikong Yan, "Sikong Yan, have you finished eating early?" ”
Sikong Yan nodded speechlessly, he was not frightened by the noise downstairs, but was startled by the whole pot of soy milk that Shen Lanying suddenly spilled.
Shen Lanying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, ran to the window with a smile, and asked Xia Ke who was sitting by the window, "Xia Ke, do you like to drink porridge or soy milk?"
Hearing her question, Xia Ke was slightly stunned, and then looked at Shen Lanying with puzzled eyes. Shen Lanying thought that he hadn't heard his question clearly, so he repeated it again, and Xia Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay." ”
Shen Lanying's smile suddenly brightened, and she snapped her fingers, "That's great, it's just right to drink together!" After speaking, she walked back to the table under Xia Ke's surprised gaze.
Sikong Yan couldn't help laughing, and Shen Lanying pretended to be fine, picked up a piece of dim sum and asked Sikong Yan while eating: "What was the situation outside just now, should we go down and take a look." ”
Sikong Yan stopped laughing and waved his hand at her: "No, there won't be any big deal, it's just that someone is fighting or smashing the field, after all, this is the south, and it is relatively close to the forces of the rivers and lakes, and this kind of thing still happens often." You don't have to worry, once any dangerous people appear, Xia Ke will tell everyone in advance. ”
Hearing this, Shen Lanying nodded, but as soon as she heard Sikong Yan mention the dangerous person, she quickly thought of the incident of the previous day: "By the way, the man next door to us, why do I think he is a little strange?"
"What's strange?" Sikong Yan raised an eyebrow in amusement.
Shen Lanying thought about it and shook her head again: "I can't say it, in short, I just feel that something is wrong."
Sikong Yan looked at Shen Lanying approvingly, "Then your intuition is not bad, I feel the same way as you about this matter, and I have already sent someone to investigate." ”
"Send people, don't you take Feng Shuang and Xia Ke's two subordinates now?" Shen Lanying was slightly stunned, and then asked in surprise, "Could it be that you also have power in Xincheng?"
Sikong Yan raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it strange?"
Shen Lanying had a shocked expression on her face, and subconsciously blurted out: "Who the hell are you!"
Sikong Yan said leisurely: "I told you a long time ago, I am the son of the head of the Sikong family, but if you want to know that I am his first son, it is not easy, my father himself doesn't know how many *** products have not been taken back to the Sikong family, and now that his old man has been executed by the emperor, I have no way of knowing how many of my brothers and sisters are in this world." Sikong Yan calmly talked about his family's affairs, but there was not a trace of sadness on his face, as if he was telling about a trivial matter.
After getting along with him for more than 20 days, Shen Lanying gradually discovered that Sikong Yan's feelings for Sikong Jia were very weak, so she no longer deliberately avoided asking him about Sikong Jia's situation: "That...... Does the Sikong family master also have a lot of his own power like you?"
Sikong Yan's lips raised slightly: "He, as long as he knows that he has left a way back for himself, he will not fall to the point of dying." ”
Well, when I said this, I really didn't leave any affection at all.
Shen Lanying's brain was spinning rapidly, so to speak, this ambitious son is completely self-taught? No, this kind of natural careerist is the most terrifying, she must ......
"You're so interested in my power now, don't worry, anyway, along the way, you will gradually understand, after all, you have to be familiar enough with us to better help us monitor the situation in the palace in the future." Sikong Yan stood up, shook his fan and walked to the window, looked at the lively street market in the distance, paused for a moment, and suddenly turned around, with a faint smile on his face, and deftly changed the topic: "About that girl, my people have already found out the news, do you want to hear it?"
"Listen, listen, tell me. After a brief thought, Shen Lanying decided to give up the principle that the more she knew, the sooner she died, and instead satisfied her curiosity.
"How much do you know about the things in the rivers and lakes? ”
Shen Lanying looked up and smiled: "I don't know anything." ”
She knew that Sikong Yan had long been suspicious of her origins, but she also knew that no matter whether Sikong Yan was curious about her identity or not, she would also be used by Sikong Yan as a tool in the battle for succession, so she didn't bother to hide the fact that she didn't know anything about this world.
Sikong Yan was quite surprised by her concise answer, but he still patiently gave her a rough overview of the situation: "Three months later, the ten major sects in the rivers and lakes will be re-ranked, and a martial arts conference will be held in Mingluo Mountain at that time." And a while ago, the number one Ming Luozong in the rivers and lakes broke the news that their former head, Master Hongchang, would step down in the near future. In this competition between the heads of the various factions of the martial arts conference, the Mingluo Sect will be participated by the new leaders. Ming Luozong's decision was hasty, and many forces in the rivers and lakes were ready to see Ming Luozong slip down from the throne of the first place in the rivers and lakes, and some people speculated that there was civil strife in Ming Luozong. Anyway, if it's chaotic, many small forces won't be able to sit still. The biggest thing is that three days ago, the Jinyuan Dart Bureau, one of the top ten dart games in the rivers and lakes, was destroyed. Except for a few dart masters who were out on the dart, none of the rest were spared, except for ......" said, Sikong Yan's eyes moved to the back room, "The only daughter of Li Qing'an, the head of the Jinyuan Dart Bureau, Li Yunxuan. It's the girl in your house. ”
Shen Lanying looked at Sikong Yan, she was not surprised by Li Yunxuan's identity, when Sikong Yan mentioned the Jinyuan Dart Bureau, she guessed that the girl had something to do with it, which made her feel incredible was the word "annihilation", thought about it, and said: "Then do you know who killed the Jinyuan Dart Bureau?"
Sikong Yan said: "Not yet, since the other party has the strength to kill hundreds of martial arts masters overnight, it will definitely not leave any obvious clues." It's going to take a while for my people to find them. ”
Then, Sikong Yan told Shen Lanying about the situation of the Jinyuan Dart Bureau, so that she could have some understanding of Li Yunxuan, who was in the same room. Because Li Qing'an, the dart head of the Jinyuan Dart Bureau, and Cao Luyang, the master of the White Tiger Hall, are brothers who worship the handle. Therefore, Li Yunxuan's trip is likely to go to Cao Luyang. The scary thing is that Sikong Yan said that Li Yunxuan was very smooth with them, and he wanted to use Li Yunxuan's identity to complete some plans.
Knowing Sikong Yan's true intentions, Shen Lanying was very, very sympathetic to Li Yunxuan's experience.
