"In Xia Youlan, it is the imperial court, but there are very concerned private affairs, which is a little bit of Youlan's heart." Pang Ruolan handed over a thousand taels of silver tickets and bowed slightly.

"Say it." Ghost Face took the silver ticket and put it in his arms.

"Presumably, the marriage between Youlan and Zhu Yulong, the lord of Liuying Pavilion, is known to everyone in the rivers and lakes, but he has been missing for a long time now, and there is no news." Pang Ruolan wanted to ask why the ghost mansion could reveal the news to the former princess of the imperial court, but she was unwilling to directly find out the whereabouts of the former princess, but she knew that even if she asked now, she would not get an answer.

"The Haunted Mansion will help you find out, but there's no guarantee." A hint of forbearance flashed in the ghost's eyes, and his words were cold.

"Thank you." Pang Ruolan looked at the ghost's eyes, and she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but she couldn't tell where she had seen it.

"What? Is my ghost face beautiful? Ghostface suddenly smiled, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a nice arc.

"You give me the feeling of a familiar friend." Pang Ruolan was slightly gloomy, and said, "It's just that I can't tell the reason." ”

"It's so close to me, but there's no way to get a discount, because I'm not the only one in the haunted house who needs to survive." A smile flashed in the ghost's eyes.

"Hehe, I didn't think so, I just felt this way." Pang Ruolan smiled embarrassedly, "I still want to check...... The whereabouts of the former princess. ”

"Oh? Do you want my ghost house to help find the whereabouts of the former princess? "Ghost Face speaks softly, but it is full of charm.

"Well, I was appointed to the imperial court, but I don't have a clue." Pang Ruolan knew that her identity as a messenger could not be hidden, so she said it directly.

"Why don't you turn to the Mystery Pavilion? That was the first news organization of the Pangruo Dynasty. Grimace smiled. looked at Pang Ruolan and said, "I'm afraid the ghost house doesn't have this ability." ”

"The Mysterious Pavilion is an organization of the imperial court, which is an open secret in the rivers and lakes. If the Mysterious Pavilion could find out the identity of the empress dowager of the previous dynasty, the empress would not have sent me to find it. Pang Ruolan sighed heavily, and said: "The Mysterious Pavilion has the empress's backing, I think the ghost mansion needs the support of a force in the imperial court, after all, the ghost mansion that has been dormant has not given up competing with the Mysterious Pavilion." ”

"Oh? So, you have what it takes to compete with the Empress? Support my ghost house to become the No. 1 news organization in the rivers and lakes? The ghost face was slightly interested, and looked at Pang Ruolan's expression slightly more serious.

"If the imperial court and the martial arts are equally divided, I, the imperial court, will secretly help the alliance leader Yin and Yang grow and have their own power. You can support the haunted house. After all. You know very well which one the empress will choose between the mysterious pavilion she founded and the ghost mansion that she is not familiar with. Pang Ruolan smiled and said, "I'm also doing this for my own benefit." If I were a useless pawn. Presumably sooner or later it will be discarded. The interests of you and me are closely related to the leader of the martial arts alliance. Only when the imperial court and the martial arts are evenly matched, can you and I reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

"The Empress really won't allow a haunted mansion on an equal footing with the Mystic Pavilion to exist in a peaceful and prosperous world. That was always a threat to the imperial court. The ghost's eyes shone with a star-like light, and he said, "I just don't know if this martial arts alliance leader will accept the surrender of the ghost house?" ”

"I'll help get in touch, it's just the news of the princess of the previous dynasty, so please ask for the haunted house." Pang Ruolan hesitated slightly, and then said: "I can continue to be my chess piece, and you can also continue to grow the ghost house." We should work together and take what we need. It's just that all of this must have a weight that can contain the imperial court, and supporting the leader of the martial arts alliance is this weight. ”

"Okay, I'm in the ghost house, and I'll do my best to help you find out the news of the former princess. However, have you ever thought about ......" Ghost Face hesitated slightly, and then said, "Are you willing to be a chess piece for the rest of your life?" ”

"You—You mean?!" Pang Ruolan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, she understood the meaning of the ghost face.

"Finding out that the former crown princess is a kind of surrender to the imperial court, but when we help the empress clear all obstacles, have you thought about the difference between you and me in the future?" The ghost face smiled, as if talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"I—You mean to call me...... Tell me to take refuge ......" Pang Ruolan was surprised in her heart, she had thought about resisting, and even had secretly cultivated her own power, but she had never thought of really betraying the empress.

If the Pang Ruo Dynasty falls, will the princess of the previous dynasty let go of her other identity in addition to the chess pieces? Hers, Pang Ruo's surname......

Thinking so, Pang Ruolan couldn't say to the ghost face the reason why she couldn't betray. On the side of the Qing monarch, I am afraid that it is the first thing that every emperor has to do after ascending the throne.

"What? What are your concerns? Is it okay to be a pawn of the empress of the dynasty, but not to be the confidant of the empress of the former dynasty? The ghost face asked Pang Ruolan with a smile, slightly puzzled.

"I ......" Pang Ruolan had no way to explain, so she had to say, "Let me think about it." ”

"Heh, you have to think about it as soon as possible. Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. The ghostly gaze swept over Pang Ruolan's delicate cheeks, and her expression was complicated.

"I see, by the way, how do I contact you?" Pang Ruolan changed the topic, and she was a little helpless about her surname Pang Ruo.

"If there is any news of the former princess, I will send someone to contact you. But you'd better think about my words, why hang yourself from a tree? Ghost Face chuckled, forbearance flashing in his eyes.

On the way back, Pang Ruolan was slightly confused, she didn't dare to gamble, she didn't dare to gamble with the lives of her mother and Wang Ma to gamble on an unknown future.

For the former princess, it was just an unfamiliar title, and Pang Ruolan didn't have much confidence.

"Quiet, quiet? Quiet?! As soon as she stepped into the courtyard of the Alliance Leader's Mansion, Pang Ruolan was shocked by the scene in front of her.

"Sister Youlan." She walked towards Pang Ruolan obediently, her eyes full of sadness.

"Why—Why did you suddenly appear here? What happened to you? Seeing the sad look of the clouds, Pang Ruolan couldn't help but worry, forgetting to think about the reason for the sudden arrival of the clouds.

"Sister Youlan, you once received the great favor of Zhang Lao Hero, and she couldn't repay it, so she was only willing to do her best to join the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance." Yu You's expression was sad, and his tone was sincere.

"I see, have you suffered a lot of grievances?" Pang Ruolan looked distressedly at the long-term absence of the person in front of her, and seemed to have grown up a lot.

"It's okay, Sister Youlan, you got a friend's family heirloom, and later she was able to protect herself, but she couldn't avenge Zhang Lao Hero." He said gloomily, his heart couldn't help but be sad, he didn't want to deceive Youlan, he didn't want to deceive this girl he loved very much, but he couldn't help it.

"We will find the real culprit and avenge the old hero Zhang! It's okay if you're okay, Sister Youlan will protect you in the future. Pang Ruolan took her hand, but suddenly felt wrong. (To be continued.) )
