114: Circle

The strange poison of the Western Regions is impossible to prevent.

Because of the experience in her previous life, she had to be more cautious.

If you always want to live, you must fight every day as the last moment of your life.

Otherwise, there may be no chance to regret it when the time comes.

It's just the Western Regions......

What Xia Ruan is most afraid of is the things of Nixi Kingdom.

She personally went to the Western Regions and wanted to do the silk business, but she almost never returned.

At that time, she had heard about the affairs of Nissi with her own ears.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruan couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jiu, is this person going to talk to her about this today?

Xia Ruan thought for a moment before he spoke: "That...... Then you? ”

She actually didn't know how to speak to Lu Dao, after all, there were too many things she wanted to know, and one or two sentences couldn't make her ask what she wanted to know.

Xiao Jiu just looked at her quietly.

Xiao Jiu with this appearance made Xia Ruan feel that this scene was familiar, with calm eyes, an elegant and chic man, and a delicate temperament like being isolated from the world.

"Naturally, I want to ask, Miss San, do you dare to bet once?" The slightly cold voice made Xia Ruan have to look at Xiao Jiu again, "I know people from Nixi Kingdom. ”

Xiao Jiu's clear eyes were full of confidence, very similar to his previous life.

Xia Ruan was a little dumbfounded, bet?

She lowered her head and was slightly stunned, but she didn't know how to speak again.

She had only heard of Nissi before, but she had never been there herself. The people over there make good use of strange poisons, and it is said that the mother of the former Doctor of the Morning Wood is from the country of Nixi. Therefore, Du Ruo also knows a little about the poison in the Western Regions.

It's just that Du Ruo was also shocked. These poisons will actually appear in this small place in Dongyang County.

Xia Ruan knew that she was familiar with these two poisons. It's because Xiao Jiu mentioned it to her in her previous life, and she has seen it herself.

Xia Ruan waited for a while before speaking: "The matter of Zhuangzi and the poison on the eldest uncle." Are you all under it? ”

"It's not me, but ......," Xiao Jiu said patiently with a soft face, "Maybe it has something to do with me." I thought you knew it all along, but it seems that I didn't hint at it enough obviously? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Ruan's whole person was a little puzzled, Xiao Jiu hinted at her?

Perhaps seeing what she was thinking, Xiao Jiu looked at her deeply, as if smiling. "The one who died on the Zhuangzi was personally started by the uncle, but this poison was bought by the uncle. Presumably you also know that the poison in the uncle this time is actually worth a lot of money. It is not the same as the poison in which one of the Zhuangzi is in it. This thing was done by someone related to the Lin family, and maybe there is also some reason for me. ”

Xia Ruan heard about the Lin family for the second time this time.

In fact, she has always been curious, if the Lin family's status in martial arts is not low. So how could the Lin family let their daughter be a concubine?

Xiao Jiu calmly picked up the teacup, his fingers as white as jade were even more dazzling than the blue and white porcelain teacup, he took a sip of tea lightly before he said slowly. "There are too many questions you want to ask, so I'll say what you want to know the most. Uncle has always wanted to do business with people in the Western Regions all these years, but unfortunately his capital is too small. That's why the uncle will do it to the third master that day. The uncle originally wanted to earn some of his own money after taking the second master's family property. You will be able to interact with the people in the Western Regions. But the uncle was wrong...... He was looking for the wrong person. The people he was looking for were businessmen who had been doing business with Dong Xiao for eight years. ”

A businessman who corresponded with Dong Xiao. Xia Ruan blurted out without even thinking about it: "Cinnabar." ”

Xiao Jiu was also slightly stunned by her appearance, and soon returned to blandness.

Xiao Jiu's heart could be as calm as water, but Xia Ruan couldn't calm down at all.

Cinnabar is a merchant of Nixi Province, and it is comparable to the existence of the Nanjia family in Kyoto of Daqin. Cinnabar has been trading with merchants on Daqin's side for all these years, and she also had a fight with Cinnabar in her previous life, but Cinnabar was too vicious, and Xia Ruan had to listen to Liu Changyuan's words and cut off business contact with Cinnabar.

But Xia Ruan knows very well that although doing business with cinnabar has to take a lot of risks, the benefits are terrifying. Dong Xiao didn't have much money over the years, so he naturally wanted to make more money to support the six princes, so where did the money come from? Now Xia Ruan understands the meaning of Xiao Jiu's words, Dong Xiao's methods of accumulating wealth over the years have obviously been raised by Bei Xiao by several grades, and they directly do business with Cinnabar.

But doing business with cinnabar, no one knows if Lu Dao will lose in his hands in the next moment, Xia Ruan's brows furrowed, she felt that she might have known too little about Lu Dao in the past.

"Cinnabar not only does business with Dong Xiao, he also has dealings with Li Yunmo, even closer than Dong Xiao's." Xiao Jiu said very lightly, as if these things couldn't shake the peace in his heart at all, "I know that you are the granddaughter of Cheng Guogong." ”

Xia Ruan's mind was already a little confused at this time.

Li Changfeng is her third uncle, and Li Yunmo is her lobby uncle.

In the past, the struggle between Li Changfeng and Li Yunmo, although it ended with Li Yunmo's disappearance, Li Changfeng's health is getting worse and worse. At that time, she just thought that Li Changfeng was too tired, so she became like this. But if it was linked to cinnabar, she had to think that the third uncle at that time was poisoned, and it was a strange poison with no antidote.

"What do you want to say to me?" Xia Ruan finally couldn't help but ask, her expression was solemn, "What do you want me to help you?" ”

Xiao Jiu still had a calm face this time, but his smile faded: "I'll help you." ”

Xia Ruan frowned slightly.

She didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Jiu's words at all.

"The Lin family has dealings with Nanting." Xiao Jiu seemed to be an outsider, and calmly analyzed Xia Ruan, "If Cinnabar and Dong Xiao make a move against the Li family in the future, I don't think you will be able to stand idly by." You're too small to compete. And you're already the target of cinnabar. In the near future, Dong Xiao will definitely start preparing to deal with you, in order to get close to Cheng Guogong. If you want to get out of this circle, I'm afraid it's too difficult...... So, you have to protect yourself. ”

Just as Li Changfeng's opponent is Li Yunmo, Cinnabar's opponent is Nanting.

These two people were originally brothers, and they would become enemies in the end, and no one knew what Lu Dao was like this.

Cinnabar Xia Ruan has seen it, if this person doesn't look carefully, he can't tell that he is from the Western Regions. And Nanting, she didn't have the luck to meet Lu to see it......

In the past, the people around her were always rumored that Nanting had a pair of eyes as blue as the sea, and she thought it was very strange at the time, is there anyone in the world whose eyes are blue?

At this time, Xia Ruan somewhat understood the meaning of Xiao Jiu's words, and Xiao Jiu really came to help her this time.

Just as Xiao Jiu said, if something happens to the Li family, she can't be invisible. And since the third uncle appeared in Dongyang County, she has actually slowly walked into this swamp and has the deepest bond with the Li family. Cinnabar actually paid attention to the Xia family from the beginning, right?

Xia Ruan suddenly thought of the death of her mother in her previous life, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes......

The death of my mother must have been a blow to my grandfather, who died shortly after my mother's death.

Cinnabar lowered her status from the beginning to do business with her eldest uncle, there must be a reason for this, otherwise the Xia family is such a small family, where does Cinnabar need to pay attention?

From the South Xiao to the North Xiao, in fact, are these the masterminds of Cinnabar?

The more Xia Ruan thought about it, the more scared she became...... She was afraid that what she guessed was true.

"What am I going to do?" Xia Ruan felt covered in cold sweat, she was actually in the bureau for a long time, but she didn't know what to do.

The sun shone on his body, gilding him with an illusory color, and under the ink-dyed eyebrows, there were a pair of clear eyes.

Xiao Jiu looked at her for a long time, and after Xia Ruan's nervous heartbeat accelerated, Xiao Jiu said slowly: "Do you believe me?" ”

"Faith." Xia Ruan answered quickly this time.

She believes that whether it is in a past life or this life, she will believe in the person in front of her.

Xiao Jiu smiled, calm and composed.

He and Xia Ruan talked a lot of things, and Xia Ruan was more shocked than the other when he heard it. When Xiao Jiu said this, he was calm, as if these lives had nothing to do with him, but Xia Ruan's heart was a little sour when he heard it. After Xiao Jiu finished talking to her, Xia Ruan already knew how to speak, and Xiao Jiu's situation was really ......

But even so, he would still want to help her.

The third uncle had never mentioned this to his mother, let alone her. She had too little contact with cinnabar in her previous life, and she didn't know a lot of things at all, and she might inevitably have to fight with cinnabar in this life.

"Thank you." Xia Ruan said this sentence from the heart, "What conditions do you want?" ”

Xiao Jiu shook his head and raised his eyes to look: "In the coming day, these things will not make you sad." ”

After speaking, Xiao Jiu got up with a smile in his eyes, "Then I'll leave first." ”

"Wait......" Xia Ruan couldn't help but call Xiao Jiu, lowering his eyes slightly, "You haven't told me yet, what happened nine years ago." ”

This time, Xiao Jiu didn't speak, and after waiting for a long time, he sighed: "Summer, heavy rain, outside Anling Temple." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, without further explanation, let alone stop.

Xia Ruan sat in the courtyard in shock this time, softening his legs and feet.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, Du Ruo walked in slowly, looked at Xia Ruan, who was stunned, and couldn't help but call: "Miss? Miss ......"

Xia Ruan slowly gathered his mind and smiled bitterly: "Is Xiao Gongzi gone?" ”

"Let's go, oh, by the way......" Du Ruo looked at Xia Ruan with some embarrassment, "Xiao Gongzi sent ...... this time Bring camellia ......"

Xia Ruan nodded and instructed Du Ruo: "Stay in the courtyard." ”

Du Ruo stomped his feet anxiously: "Xiao Gongzi said that this is an eighteenth bachelor, I hope the young lady can be raised well, he ......"

Xia Ruan's eyes were clearer because of Du Ruo's words: "What did you say?" ”

"This is the eighteenth bachelor, Miss, this is the first time in my life that the slave has seen such a valuable thing." Du Ruo was not a fool, she had already heard of the preciousness of these eighteen bachelors in the camellia.

It's just that she didn't expect that Xiao Jiu actually said that she would give it to her young lady. (To be continued......)
