Ninety-three The Calm Before the Storm
The room of the patriarch of Dongfang was lit up all night, and he sat on the stool, picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth, and suddenly put it down, always feeling startled in his heart, and he couldn't settle down. Seeing that no one outside has come in to report the news of Dongfang Bai and his party, according to the normal time, Dongfang Bai should come back now. A woman came in naked, swaying her body extremely charmingly, and put her hand on Dongfang Bai's neck, Dongfang Bai pushed her away a little irritably: "You deserve to be a ** for the rest of your life!" Seeing that the patriarch of Dongfang was so angry, the woman didn't dare to stay longer, and left with a depressed expression: ", you think that the old lady is rare to serve you." ”
The patriarch of the East seemed to have heard the woman's words, but he didn't say anything more. At this moment, his hanging heart couldn't let go, now that Qin Ru is dead, Jasmine has also become a cripple, if something happens to this batch of medicinal materials, the Dongfang family really can't bear it, he thought that Dongfang Bai was escorted with the carefully selected guards, calming and comforting that restless heart a little.
At this time, the housekeeper hurriedly ran in, and a trace of joy flashed in Dongfang Bai's eyes: "How is it, are you back?" ”
"Patriarch, the little one and his men have been looking for a path out of the city all the way to the mountain, and there is no trace?" The butler panted.
"Haven't you come down the mountain at this time, but you're going to stay on the mountain tonight, why hasn't anyone come back to report the news?" The joy of the Dongfang patriarch just now disappeared in an instant, and he looked at the huge beads of sweat on the butler's forehead: "But what else?" ”
"Patriarch, I heard that a fire suddenly spread at the intersection of the mountain this afternoon, and the big leader went down the mountain to find a message from someone, and when the next person returned, everyone else was gone, including the cart of medicinal herbs." The housekeeper bowed his head and was silent, his whole body trembled, and he didn't dare to come out.
"Fire?" The eyes of the Dongfang patriarch were full of horror, and his hand slapped heavily on the table, and the teacup was shaken to the ground and shattered.
"Where?"
"What?" The butler had been frightened by the face of the Dongfang team leader, and his head had no time to think.
"I'm talking about the place where the fire is, take me there right away." The patriarch of Dongfang eagerly went out, and the housekeeper followed closely behind: "It's already so late, it's better to ...... tomorrow"
"Wait any longer, and we'll only have to be slaughtered." Dongfang patriarch jumped on the horse, galloped all the way, the housekeeper chased after him, almost when the sky was slightly bright, the Dongfang patriarch and the housekeeper arrived at the intersection of the mountain, and returned along the intersection, the Dongfang patriarch stared carefully at the road, and finally saw another obvious burning mark on the ground, and saw that there were still residual ashes in the stone cracks on both sides, he hesitated to pinch some again, sniffed in his nose and mouth, and his face sank.
What kind of master is this Utopian City, who can make a master with a Qi Zun level turn into ashes in an instant, he is the number one thug of the Dongfang family, thinking that Qin Ru is being burned in the room like this, his heart trembled, and the figure of the black-robed man resurfaced in his mind again, how could the person who made Loria Auction House respectful and respectful, be under that Qin Ruyi? The Dongfang Patriarch regretted that he had believed Qin Ruyi's words, if he hadn't underestimated the strength of the black-robed man and his relationship with the Tong family like this, how could he be so passive now? Not only do they have no pharmaceutical people, but now they have to owe a large amount of foreign debts for no reason, and I am afraid that if they don't make up enough within the specified time, the exchanges outside the city will not give up.
"Pass the order, for the events of the past two days, no words can be talked about up and down, and no half of it must be leaked, and the remaining trauma fluid will be dispersed to each store, and it will be dealt with quickly!" The old man in the east was obviously a little weak.
At this time, the Tong family, since the last conflict, seems to have no news, and there are many fewer eyeliners at the intersection every day, which makes Tong Yunxiang, who has always been in the light, a little puzzled.
In the hall, Tong Yunxiang and the elders sat on the high platform, and Tong Ling'er was also called over, she was not interested in the discussion between the queen mother and the elders, but chatted with the little elf in her heart.
"Why do you say this Dongfang family has been so quiet recently, and there has been no movement?"
"This old man has always been scheming, I'm afraid he's playing some bad idea again, so that we won't be in a hurry!"
Looking at Tong Ling'er's absent-minded expression in the audience, Tong Yunxiang couldn't help asking: "You kid, why are you always so out of the way, have you ever met that mysterious person recently?" ”
"See." Tong Linger replied casually.
"What did you all say?" Tong Yunxiang and the elders were all quite excited when they heard this affirmative answer.
"He said that he wanted to accept me as an apprentice, and I thought it wouldn't hurt to think about it, so I agreed, so I didn't have time to discuss it with the queen mother, you won't blame me, right?"
"What do you say? Is he going to take you as an apprentice, has he done the apprenticeship? What is he going to teach you? Tong Yunxiang was obviously a little incoherent with excitement, and in the face of Tong Ling'er's understatement, the elders were also a little amazed, and couldn't help but cast a look of envy at Tong Yunxiang.
"There's no apprenticeship. But the little sperm said to let me prepare my luggage and let me go out for a year or two first. ”
Tong Yunxiang's face was slightly stunned, the smile just now was retracted, he paused, and immediately resumed his previous smile state: "Didn't you say where you were going?" ”
"Let me prepare for the upcoming entrance exams of Jonny Academy, it seems that I will have to stay in that hellish place for a while." Tong Ling'er deliberately glanced at the Great Elder, and his facial expression was indeed extremely unnatural.
"Zhongni Academy is a high-level school, of course it's a good thing to go there to study and experience, but your girl's tone is getting bigger and bigger." Tong Yunxiang seemed to be reminding Tong Ling'er that his words had stimulated the Great Elder.
"But I just think it's too long, I'm afraid I can't wait and I'm going to slip away." Tong Ling'er smiled slyly and said calmly to Tong Yunxiang: "Queen Mother, have you ever forgotten that this is the location of this room, and how the brothers and sisters in Guiyunzhuang treated me!" ”
"Ling'er?" Tong Yunxiang's voice was full of softness, she seemed to feel the pain suppressed in Tong Ling'er's heart, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "They are all arrogant disciples, don't be obsessed with them." ”
"I'm going to beat them to their knees and beg for mercy!" A trace of anger flashed in Tong Ling'er's eyes, causing the elders on the stage to sigh for a while.
