Lin Yan went to Duobaolou again, and he also wanted to learn some information through Duobaolou. And Mu Lao did not follow, but returned to his lair to pack up some salutes.

"Why is Lin Gongzi leaving so soon?" Yue Zhongqi was quite surprised by this.

"I'm also helpless, mainly because there's something urgent!" Lin Yan smiled helplessly, "As for the matter of melting blood and transforming the elixir, I can only apologize." ”

What should I do? Yue Zhongqi's face was a little unpleasant, because his uncle had put a lot of pressure on him, and if he let the old man down, then his life as the shopkeeper of Duobaolou would not be easy.

Yue Zhongqi, who felt at a loss, decided to test it, "Then where is Lin Gongzi going this time, if he can use Yue, Yue will do his best to help, not to mention anything else, Duobaolou has branches in major cities, and I believe it can provide a lot of help to Lin Gongzi." ”

"I do want to ask the shopkeeper for some information. Lin Yan then mentioned the Mu family, "Do you know the situation of the Mu family in Fengtian City?"

"Mu family!" Yue Zhongqi immediately understood that Lin Yan had been living in Caiyun Pavilion and had a close relationship with Mu Dailin, so he was naturally more interested in Mu Qing's situation.

So he immediately replied: "There is a serious split within the Mu family now, the original patriarch has been ousted not long ago, and the new one is Mu Chong, who is supported by the Ming family. ”

"What? there has been civil strife in the Mu family!" Lin Yan was taken aback, originally knowing from Mu Dailin that the Mu family was only in crisis, and her side was being squeezed out, but she didn't expect the situation to deteriorate.

"Yes, just a few months ago, just a few days after the opening of the Cliff Blessed Land. Haven't you heard of it in Caiyun Pavilion?" Yue Zhongqi didn't quite understand Lin Yan's reaction.

"I just heard Dai Lin mention it slightly, and I don't know the current situation. Lin Yan hadn't even forgotten to ask Mu Qing and Mu Zhenchong, and he couldn't mention them to Yue Zhongqi now.

"Miss Mu is actually the patriarch, her father was the heir to the patriarch, but for some reason, she has been unpopular in the Mu family for a long time, but this time the Mu family is because the old patriarch has passed away, and Mu Zhong has won the support of many elders with the support of the Ming family, not only sitting on the position of the patriarch, but also driving Miss Mu's father out of the Mu family, hey...... But that's not all, it is said that the Helan family has also begun to act, and they have supported a guy who claims to be the illegitimate son of the old patriarch of the Mu family to compete for the position of patriarch...... The current herdsman can be described as a restless chicken!"

After listening to Yue Zhongqi's story, Lin Yan felt that the Mu family was so lively, "So many things happened to this Mu family?"

"Young Master Lin, you seem to care more about the Mu family than ordinary people!" Yue Zhongqi looked at Lin Yan and asked a little jokingly, "Is it a ...... between you and Miss Mu?"

"Dai Lin is my good friend, please don't speculate in the shopkeeper, it will affect her reputation!" Lin Yan's face darkened, obviously not very satisfied with Yue Zhongqi's speculation that he was a little gossipy.

"Oh, it's Yue Mou's speech! Please don't be surprised by Lin Gongzi!" Yue Zhongqi hurriedly apologized, but then he changed his words, "But I also heard that among the four young people in the imperial capital, some people have already put down their words, and they must marry Miss Mu, I don't know ...... Lin Gongzi."

In fact, he said this on purpose, in order to test Lin Yan's attitude towards Mu Dailin.

But how did Lin Yan know, as soon as he heard that someone wanted to covet Mu Dailin, he suddenly became angry, "Who is so bold?"

Although there is no obvious relationship between him and Mu Dailin, it does not mean that he can tolerate others to covet or even possess Mu Dailin, which is also completely in the instinct of men.

In fact, don't say it's him, under normal circumstances, all young and vigorous men with strong blood have this kind of mentality.

In this regard, Lin Yan himself does not need to hide anything, there is no need to hide it, and there is no shame.

My Fair Lady, what a gentleman, not to mention such a beautiful girl as Mu Dailin, it is difficult for any normal young man to resist her temptation.

Seeing Lin Yan's reaction so fiercely, an imperceptible smile flashed in Yue Zhongqi's eyes, which was also a sign of pride in making a correct judgment on himself.

Then he replied: "That person is the eldest young master of the Ming family, and the other one is He Lanhong, you have had a lot of conflicts with him, and he has known Miss Mu for a long time, and his interest in Miss Mu has long been known in the imperial capital." ”

"I know!" Lin Yan nodded, and then no longer discussed the Mu family, but asked the Ming family: "What is the situation of the Ming family?"

"Does Lin Gongzi want to meddle in this matter?" Yue Zhongqi asked without answering.

"Almost, I also have some friction with the Ming family, I go to the imperial capital, maybe there will be a conflict with the Ming family, there is no harm in understanding the other party's situation in advance. Lin Yan didn't hide this, and he also knew that with Duobaolou's espionage ability, it was not difficult to investigate the grievances between his father Lin Weiliang and the Ming family.

However, Yue Zhongqi was thinking about different questions, "It turns out that he is going to the imperial capital, then he will definitely pass by Pingyang City, it seems that I should find a way to let him meet his uncle......"

From Qingluo City to Fengtian City, the imperial capital, Pingyang City is a must-pass place, Yue Zhongqi can't miss this opportunity, otherwise it will be really difficult to get the Blood Melting Elixir from Lin Yan's hands in the future.

He first replied to the news about the Ming family, "The Ming family is one of the several major families in Fengtian City, and it is also very powerful, and there are also many heavyweights who hold important positions in the court, in addition, they also operate restaurants, money houses, casinos, brothels and other industries, this time they also fell in love with the Mu family's Caiyun Pavilion, so they want to annex it......"

"What are you talking about, what about the eldest young master of the Ming family in the four young masters of the imperial capital?"

"His name is Ming Lanwei, less than twenty years old, he has reached the intermediate strength of the Foundation Building Realm, specifically how many times the Foundation Building Realm is, this is inconclusive, but he is an outer disciple of the Yunding Sect, not long ago after returning to the Ming family, I heard that he wanted to marry Miss Mu, in fact, this is also a move by the Ming family to annex the Mu family!"

In fact, this incident is indeed heard, and it is not made up out of thin air.

"But do you know that the Ming family actually has a backstage?" Yue Zhongqi pretended to be mysterious.

"The backstage of the Ming family, are you referring to the royal family of the Qing Liang Kingdom?" Lin Yan could naturally guess that it was the royal family, because he knew very well that the young lady of the Ming family fifteen years ago was married to the third prince.

"Not bad! And it's also the third prince Liang Rui, who has been in the limelight recently!" Yue Zhongqi continued, "But you shouldn't know that there is also an undercurrent within the imperial family, and there are many contradictions, the current emperor is old and frail, I am afraid that he will die soon, and the three princes are engaged in fierce competition, the crown prince, the second prince, and the third prince have reached a white-hot level, once the old emperor returns to the west, there is no doubt that it will cause a big war!"

Yue Zhongqi believed that Lin Yan would not know this.

"Oh, this is also the case within the royal family!" Lin Yan was suddenly overjoyed, the enemy had civil strife, it was a great thing for him.

Yue Zhongqi noticed that Lin Yan's face was happy, so he increased his inducement, "I also learned that the third prince sent someone to contact the Marquis of Pingyang a few days ago, hoping to get the support of the Marquis of Pingyang, because the Marquis of Pingyang not only has a heavy army, but also always maintains neutrality among the three princes, if the three princes get his support, it will be a big help, and this should be even more unfavorable to you!"

"Shopkeeper Yue, why do you say this?" Lin Yan naturally knew that the other party would not say this to him for no reason, there must be another purpose.

Yue Zhongqi smiled, "If you have a chance to stop the Marquis of Pingyang from supporting the Third Prince, then will you do it?"

"Presumably, Pingyang Hou Shizi just needs to melt blood and transform the elixir!" Lin Yan immediately realized the other party's intentions, because Pingyang Hou Shizi Hanggai was not a ninth-level Qi Condensation, if he couldn't think of this again, it would be too stupid.

"Exactly!" of course Yue Zhongqi would not hide it, "I can't hide it, my uncle came to ask for the blood melting elixir for the prince of Pingyang Hou, and the old man may make a heavy promise, as long as he can get one, he can represent the Yue family and Pingyang Hou to become your friend." ”

This condition immediately aroused Lin Yan's interest, and he said without thinking, "Can you let me meet your uncle?"

......

Soon, Lin met Yue Chonglin.

"Hahaha......" A hearty laugh came out of Yue Chonglin's mouth, he looked at Lin Yan with surprise and joy, "Young man, don't worry about old decay, you can definitely guarantee that Pingyang Hou will not support the three princes, even if the three princes put forward high conditions, they will refuse." ”

"That kid is waiting for Old Man Yue's good news!" Lin Yan had already decided to provide a blood-melting elixir, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to take it out now, because the 'old man' needs time to refine, and then I can take it out after I go to Pingyang City." ”

Although he got the promise of the other party, Lin Yan couldn't be completely relieved, because all promises have a premise, that is, the basis of interests, once there are enough benefits, this kind of verbal promise will become fragile.

However, Lin Yan also knew that he had no choice, because he was going to gamble, and he had to gamble, if he watched Pingyang Hou become the help of the third prince, it would be tantamount to creating greater difficulties for himself.

"Okay!" Yue Chonglin didn't coerce Lin Yan, because there was a "mysterious old man" behind Lin Yan, and he couldn't do that kind of thing, because he was a strong man, and the self-esteem of a strong man wouldn't let him do that kind of thing.

Lin Yan also secretly felt that Old Man Yue was a person who counted, and he also secretly felt lucky.

Unlike those people in officialdom, who speak as casually as a fart, most of those people are weak and will do anything for the sake of profit, and as for lying, it is even more commonplace.

In the end, the two sides basically reached an agreement, and the atmosphere of the negotiation was also very harmonious.

————

On the same day, Mu Dailin and Granny Qi set off with Mu Qing and Mu Zhenchong, two uncles and nephews.

As for Lin Yan, after leaving Duobaolou, he went directly to Mu Lao's residence, and after putting Mu Lao's black tripod into the Sumeru space, he returned to Caiyun Pavilion, and recalled Lin Laishun, leaving him a large sum of gold coins, and asked him to take care of his grandfather Lin Tianxiao, and then went on the road with Mu Lao and Yang Qi the next day.

————

"Report to Princess Moonhunting, they suddenly set off!" the middle-aged man in gray hurriedly reported the situation to Princess Moonhunting.

"Where are they going?, are the three of them acting together?" Princess Xunyue asked, she had been keeping an eye on Lin Yan, Yang Qi and Mu Lao for the past two days, but she only found that Lin Yan was active frequently, while Yang Qi had been staying in Caiyun Pavilion.

Of course, Lin Yan went in and out of Duobao Building twice, and she knew it.

"The details are not clear, but the people of the Mu family left yesterday, and they should be the family that returned to Fengtian City. However, Lin Yan, Yang Qi and Mu Yanji also left Caiyun Pavilion today, and the three of them all had packages on them, as if they were going out of the country. ”

Princess Xunyue was slightly stunned, feeling a little surprised, she didn't expect Lin Yan and the others to suddenly make a big move, originally she didn't take Lin Yan and the others seriously, and she was not in a hurry to retrieve the jade slip, anyway, she wasn't worried that someone would be able to break the seal of the jade slip.

She wanted to wait a few days for Qingluo City to gradually regain its calm before making a move, even if she killed Lin Yan and the others, it would not attract too many people's attention.

However, Lin Yan and the others were about to leave suddenly, so she naturally couldn't sit idly by, "You continue to send people to keep an eye on you, but you can't startle the snake!"

After the gray-clothed middle-aged man was ordered to leave, she immediately took out a strange jade pendant and quietly sensed it, and soon sensed that the jade slip was moving.

It turned out that she was able to sense the existence and location of the jade slip through this strange jade pendant, in fact, long before the Fang family came to Qingluo City, she had already discovered the jade slip, but the Fang family was not easy to mess with, so she always stood still.

Unexpectedly, the Fang family actually brought Yu Jian to Qingluo City, which made her overjoyed, so she followed all the way......

————

Qingluo City is thousands of miles away from Pingyang City, and if you only rely on your legs, it will take at least seven or eight days.

Lin Yan and the three of them were naturally not so industrious, they each rode a tall horse, and drove on the road leading to Pingyang City......

The first day was peaceful, and the three of them did not encounter any situation, but the next day, when the three of them came to a hill, they suddenly heard a sound of gold and iron not far ahead, accompanied by shouts.

"Jingle Clang...... Ah......h

Then the three of them saw a number of figures chasing each other on the avenue not far ahead, and each of them had a sharp sword in his hand, and a fierce battle was raging.

"Be careful! There's a fight ahead!" Lin Yan quickly raised the alarm!

But before they could dismount, they saw a carriage coming towards them, on top of which was an old man driving, and desperately whipping the horses to speed up, and there were several thieves chasing after them.

Because the carriage was too heavy, the bandits quickly caught up, and saw the old man quickly jump out of the carriage and prepare to pounce on the bandits, but a terrible wail came from the carriage, "Nanbo, don't go over......

It was a young woman's voice, desolate and griefful, but also full of anger, obviously very sad for the old man who gave his life to save him, and at the same time deeply hated the bandits.

"Miss, I'll try my best to block them, you run away quickly!" the old man still made up his mind, and then rushed over desperately.

"Old thing, it's really beyond your strength, since you want to send you to death, then grandpa will send you back to the West!"

A big man in green clothes with a meaty face watched the old man rush towards him, with a cruel smile on his face, and then he was about to swing the big knife in his hand and slash at the old man.

Seeing that the old man was about to face life and death, the curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, and a very beautiful young woman saw Lin Yan and the three of them, as if she saw a life-saving straw, and immediately sent out a cry for help: "Ladies and gentlemen, help!"

The cry for help was so poignant and fearful that it could not bear anyone's heart.
