Yanyu Villa soon got the news, Nie Changnan was also worried and helpless, now the matter is getting more and more serious, and he has a good relationship with the imperial court, and this is really "love can't help".

Xu You and Ling Su were imprisoned, and the Flame Dao Gate became a pot of porridge, and the fifth junior brother rushed to Yanyu Villa overnight in a hurry to ask for help from Yan Lan.

"Senior brother, senior brother, I beg you, come back, if you continue like this, Master's hard work will be in vain." The fifth junior brother burst into tears and knelt at Yan Lan's feet.

Yan Lan was also powerless, this matter had already deviated from the scope of their plan, even if he went back, he would still perish with the flame sword, what was the point?

At this time, Xiao Ziyan walked up from behind and called Yan Lan aside, "In this way, let's contact the buyer first and see if there is any chance of remedy." ”

They still have most of the goods in their hands, plus the bits and pieces that Xu You has made, they are barely enough, and they will lose a little more money to see if they can ask the buyer to withdraw the case, I am afraid that the jade has been sent to the palace, and the buyer will not be able to protect himself by then, not to mention the consequences of the flame knife.

Yan Lan panicked in her heart, if it was the silver-faced man's plan, it was time to show up, was it fun to consume him, if not, how could I contact him for help?

So Yan Lan and Xiao Ziyan first returned to the flame knife with the fifth junior brother, and Nie Changnantuo let them into the cell. Xu Youyou and the others had never suffered such humiliation in their lives, they were tortured in prison to the point that they were not human, their hair was scattered, and their faces were covered with scars.

"Good nephew, save Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi doesn't want to be beheaded!"

"Senior brother, you save us, we will return the head to you!"

Yan Lan saw the lowly appearance of these two people, although he was disdainful, but he didn't dare to be sarcastic, the fate of the flame knife is uncertain now, and it is unknown whether he can successfully pass this level, so he has to make a show, "I'll do my best, you guys will tell me the buyer's information first." ”

Yan Lan and Xiao Ziyan got the buyer's information, and after some investigation, they learned that the buyer is now living in an old house in Xizi Lane, Nan'an City, and it seems that the buyer is still safe, and things are not too bad.

The two came all the way to the old house, the door was closed tightly, and the closer Yan Lan walked, the faster her heart beated, I was afraid that there was a Hongmen banquet hidden in it.

No matter how difficult it is, he has to bite the bullet, and Yan Lan hopes that it is him. Yan Lan knocked the knocker, and a young servant came out after a long time, and after seeing the two of them outside the door, he asked tentatively, "May I ask which of you is Yan Lan's son?"

Yan Lan and Xiao Ziyan exchanged a look before politely replying, "I am."

"Yan Gongzi, please." The servant made a gesture of invitation, and Xiao Ziyan followed to go in, but was stopped outside the door, "This son, my master only saw Yan Gongzi alone." ”

Xiao Ziyan immediately realized, "I'll wait for you outside the door." ”

The servant led Yan Lan in, closed the door, Xiao Ziyan was bored, leaned on a doorpost and closed his eyes to rest.

The servant led Yan Lan to the hall, which was empty, and Yan Lan was about to speak, but the servant didn't say a word, and retreated first.

There was a screen on the right side of the hall, Yan Lan tentatively approached, and only halfway through, a familiar voice sounded, "Yan Gongzi, don't come unharmed." ”

Yan Lan froze instantly, sure enough! Then a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. A figure slowly moved out from behind the screen, but it was not a silver-faced man, but a black-faced man.

Yan Lan retracted his smile dissatisfied, the black-faced man disagreed, and walked to his side, "Don't worry, Gongzi Yan, my lord has gone to seek a future for Gongzi Yan, if Gongzi thinks I am not qualified enough, you can go out and go straight, and the villain will never embarrass you." ”

People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, although the silver-faced man did not come in person for some reason, but this black-faced man is his confidant, and it is not bad to think about it, so Yan Lan returned to his polite face, "How can it be, it's just an accident." ”

The black-faced man didn't talk much nonsense, and said plainly: "The lord said, this time we are a meeting gift for Yan Gongzi, to show sincerity, I hope that after Yan Gongzi gets back the flame knife, he will also show sincerity to us."

"But why did it have anything to do with the imperial court? Who the hell are you? "That's right, Yan Lan and them have reached a consensus before and decided to join their camp, but they have not yet revealed their identities to him, and now they are playing this trick against the Flame Dao Gate, it seems that they are trying to force Yan Lan into a desperate situation to prevent changes.

"Yan Gongzi, everything is as you can see, since you have the ambition to swallow the nine businesses alone, we can't let you lead the way, the way to be good for everyone is to contain each other."

Now the fate of the flame knife is not saved by Yan Lan alone, and Yanyu Villa has never been bound by the imperial court, and Nie Changnan is powerless, so now there is only this way to live. As long as Yan Lan agrees, no matter whether Yan Lan is sincere or false in the future, it is impossible to retreat with his whole body, because the flame knife has already left a record of the case, and the silver-faced man will definitely install the article of bribing officials again, and if Yan Lan dares to betray them, they can also extinguish the flame knife at any time.

"Yan Gongzi, you still have a chance now, whether you want to continue to cooperate or not, it's all up to you." The black-faced man sat on the seat next to him, playing with his teacup, waiting for Yan Lan's answer.

Now the audience is so quiet that only the sound of the collision between the lid of the teacup and the body of the cup is crunchy.

"Hahaha...... I have never regretted the path I have chosen, and I have a pleasant cooperation. Yan Lan hesitated for a moment and quickly made a decision, they were all dancing with wolves, why not achieve great things vigorously.

"Yan Gongzi, refresh!"

Two ambitious people hit it off like this.

Yan Lan withdrew from the mansion, Xiao Ziyan was leaning against the pillar and was distracted, "Go!" Yan Lan patted him on the back from behind, and the two of them strode away.

"What's going on?" Xiao Ziyan asked as he walked, and after letting Yan Lan in, Xiao Ziyan guessed that it was a silver-faced person again, they were fast and ruthless, and it seemed that they had already planned.

"The flame knife is fine, everything is going well."

In this way, two days later, the government successfully captured the bandits, recovered the jade, returned the goods to the original owner, and the trapped victims were also successfully rescued. After Yan Lan ran around, lobbying the buyer, the buyer finally relented, since there was a reason, the jade was only registered and had not entered the palace, and now all the jade could be made up, and the two parties agreed to withdraw the case after negotiation.

The flame knife successfully survived the catastrophe, and the disciples in the door knelt in front of Yan Lan's door for a day and begged bitterly, and Yan Lan finally came back to take on the role of the head of the flame knife. As for Xu You and Ling Su, because they did not report their claims and deception, they trapped the flame knife in water and fire, and behaved badly, and the buyer insisted on holding the two responsible, but Yan Lan kept them, but the price was to expel the flame knife and never return.

Yan Lan was not to blame for the past, saved their lives, and the two of them did not dare to have any more disrespectful words, and left the flame knife in a gloomy manner.

After the ship was on the sea for a few days, there were signs of docking, poor Xu Yunxi's nerves were highly tense for so long, and in the end he still couldn't get close to the cargo half a step, the only thing worthy of praise was that the identities of the two had not been discovered.

"Why, have you already arrived at Yuyuan?" Xu Yunxi pulled the sail and climbed to a high place to see, this place doesn't look like a border place!

Sheng Lingyun also boarded to take a look, "Strange, isn't this batch of goods sent to Yuyuan?" ”

At this time, Uncle Wu walked out of the cabin, and the two hurriedly jumped off the high platform and turned their faces sideways.

"Sail the boat to the mouth of the quicksand, and let's rest in Furong Town for two days." After Uncle Wu finished explaining, he returned to the cabin and ordered to take care of the goods.

"Hibiscus Town?" Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun glanced at the starry town in the distance, this was probably their last chance.

At night, the boat anchored at the mouth of the quicksand, Uncle Wu commanded everyone to go to a nearby inn to rest, and after arranging the room, Uncle Wu quietly wrote a letter to the disciple to send out, and everyone had dinner and rested together. At night, their companions had already fallen asleep, and Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun were listening to the movement outside, when a little smoke came out of the door.

The two of them sealed the meridians and pretended to be unconscious, and after a while, a disciple came in to check the state of the boatman, and after doing all this, they heard the voice of Uncle Wu summoning the disciples, and a group of people went in the direction of the quicksand.

Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun followed them from behind, and when they arrived at the mouth of the quicksand, there was already a circle of people around their boat, Uncle Wu walked up to them, greeted a leader with a beard and a bamboo hat, and then everyone unloaded the goods together.

This batch of goods was transported all the way to a place called Ying Yutang, and the boxes were moved in, and after a while, they were moved out again, but the number was reduced by half, so what about the half?

"We have to go back first, and they'll definitely check on people." Sheng Lingyun touched Xu Yunxi's arm and motioned for him to go.

"But looking at this situation, tomorrow the ship will depart again, and nothing will be found by then." Xu Yunxi wanted to visit Ying Yutang at night, but he didn't have a good plan, so after thinking for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I know, let's work on the ship first tonight." ”

The two came to the mouth of the quicksand again, watched Uncle Wu and them load the goods, and carefully inspected them before leaving. Time is urgent, the two of them have to rush back to the inn before Uncle Wu, so as soon as the people left, the two ran to the cabin first, hurriedly opened a box to check, from top to bottom there was salt, and then found sharp objects from the boat, dug a small hole at the root of the boat, and then followed Uncle Wu and them back to the inn with light skills, Uncle Wu They entered from the door, and the two returned to the room from the back window.

On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Uncle Wu sent someone to urge them to start work, everyone rubbed their eyes reluctantly and walked to the mouth of the quicksand, pushed the boat out, and was about to sail when an old boatman waved his hand from below and said: "Stop the boat, stop the boat, the ship is leaking!"

Everyone hurriedly stopped their movements and worked together to push the boat to the shore, and then Uncle Wu got off the boat to check, I don't know when the boat was hit by a stone out of a small hole, fortunately it was found early, otherwise a group of people are afraid that they will be buried in the ocean.

"What should I do, Uncle Wu?" A disciple came to Uncle Wu's side to ask for instructions, in fact, everyone had been nervous for so many days, and they didn't sleep well, so they naturally wanted to rest, anyway, the important goods were also delivered, and it didn't matter if they were delayed for two days.

Uncle Wu looked at everyone's listless appearance, and was also a little distressed, "That's it, let's go back and rest first, and we'll come back to repair the ship later." ”

A group of people shouted hello and returned to the inn, Uncle Wu was the last to leave the boat, he touched the small opening on the boat, thoughtfully, Xu Yunxi and Sheng Lingyun Yuguang caught a glimpse of his actions, and they had to find a way to trap Uncle Wu before they could act.

When they arrived at the inn, everyone lay back to rest, Sheng Lingyun and Xu Yunxi didn't dare to leave for the time being, so they had to sleep with everyone until noon.

After making up for sleep, Uncle Wu called them to repair the ship together, repairing the boat is not a trivial matter, you have to buy high-quality materials first, Xu Yunxi nodded to Uncle Wu and ran to the ship, and then took out the silver ticket, "Tell them that the materials will be delivered two days later." "It's the case with a few houses from afar, and there are no more boats in the whole town, so we can only wait.

In the evening, everyone was bored, and Xu Yunxi began to use his brain, "Or, let's go out and have some fun." ”
