35. Cooperation

Three-five cooperation

The Red Lotus Sect was silent in the main altar, Ni Hongshang was lying outside the window, looking at the clouds in the sky, but her face was downcast, and the white clothes left these days, although the Holy Aunt and the Dharma Protector treated her very well, she always felt bored, she was a person who couldn't be idle, sometimes she wanted to find something, the people of the Red Lotus Sect treated her too politely, and there was only Ding Si who she knew in the capital, so she sneaked out to find Ding Si a few times at night, which made her feel both fun and exciting, At this time, she was thinking about finding a chance to sneak out to find Ding Si to chat at night one day, and it would be great if she could let Ding Si visit Beijing City.

She was thinking about something when she suddenly heard a laugh behind her: "Hongsheng, what do you see?" ”

Hongshang hurriedly turned around, but saw Duan Qinglian with a smile on her face, looking at her with interest.

Duan Qinglian is very good to Hongshang, every time she sees Hongshang, she is enthusiastic and intimate, as if she regards Hongshang as her sister and sister, Hongshang is also a person with a bold temperament, she likes others to be straightforward and fast-talking, and naturally she is closer to Duan Qinglian than others. Seeing Duan Qinglian appear behind her, she was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Hall Master Duan, how come you have time to find me today?" ”

Duan Qinglian walked over, sat down on the chair beside her, hugged Hongshang's shoulders affectionately, and whispered in her ear: "I have something to ask you, did you sneak out at night three days ago?" ”

Hongshang was shocked, her little face was surprised, she thought she had done it skillfully, how could she think of being discovered, and she didn't know what to say with a "squeak" in her mouth.

Seeing the red dress like this, Duan Qinglian laughed like a string of silver bells: "Three days ago night, someone sent me a hairpin, inlaid with colorful flowers, I think I am so old, how can I use such a fancy thing, I want to bring it to you, I didn't expect to go to your room, but I saw the lights out, I thought you were asleep, but when I went to the window and listened, there was no sound inside, so I guess you went out at night." He clapped his hands again and laughed: "It's good today, give me this fraud, it's not right away." ”

Hongsheng's face couldn't help but turn white when she heard her say this, and she hurriedly looked around, for fear that someone would listen.

Duan Qinglian looked at her like this, and laughed again: "Don't worry, the Holy Aunt and the Dharma Protector have something to do today, and they won't know about it." ”

Only then did Hongshang let out a sigh of relief and said to Duan Qinglian, "Hall Master Duan, don't tell anyone about it. These days, when Bai Yi is not around, I am bored by myself, so I sneak around at night. ”

Hear her say that,? It was like suddenly remembering and saying: "Hearing this, I realized that I haven't seen the white clothes for some days, where has the white clothes gone?" ”

Hongshang shook his head: "I don't know, counting the days, there has been no news from Baiyi for twelve days." ”

Duan Qinglian looked surprised: "You are all from Siling Mountain, and the white clothes are still hiding something from you?" Without waiting for Hongsheng to answer, he continued: "But you are all candidates for the next Holy Aunt, so it can be seen that Baiyi is still guarding against you." ”

Hongshang didn't wait for Duan Qinglian to finish speaking, but she retorted: "Hall Master Duan, it's not like this. She said proudly: "Bai Yi and I are like sisters, how could we ruin our friendship because of this." She said with adoration: "The man in white is so good and smart, he is far better than me in Siling Mountain, and Bai Yi will definitely be the next holy aunt." She changed her tone, and said with a smile: "Besides, what's the good of being a holy aunt, you will be alone for the rest of your life." She glanced at Duan Qinglian, her voice was shy, and she whispered, "You can't marry again." ”

Duan Qinglian didn't expect Hongshang to say this, she was stunned for a moment, her face changed, and she couldn't help but echo in her mouth: "You're right, it's really nothing good to be a holy aunt." ”

Hongshang looked at the expression on Duan Qinglian's face, thought for a while, and said to Duan Qinglian: "Hall Master Duan, don't let the Holy Aunt and the Dharma Protector know, I don't know why, I always feel a little timid when I see the two of them." ”

The expression on Duan Qinglian's face had returned to normal, and she smiled again and said, "Silly girl, I like you so much, how can I let you be punished." After speaking, he took out a hairpin from his arms, but the hairpin was also exquisite, and the red dress took it, right? Said gratefully, "Hall Master Duan, you are so kind to me. ”

Seeing the red dress smiling, he sighed and said: "Who let me have a temper with you, I like a heartless, innocent little girl, when I see you, I think I am a few years younger." After finishing speaking, the conversation changed sharply, and asked with concern: "There will be no accident in Baiyi for so long, I know that the days in the sect are not very peaceful." ”

Hongshang's face tightened, and he said worriedly: "It shouldn't be, Baiyi is so smart, there will be no accidents." After thinking about it, he said to Duan Qinglian: "Hall Master Duan, why don't you help me ask the Holy Aunt to see if the Holy Aunt has any news of being dressed in white?" ”

Duan Qinglian laughed and said, "I have to figure out what Bai Yi is doing first?" She looked at Hongyi and asked, "What did Baiyi tell you when he left?" ”

Hongshang thought about it seriously and said, "Baiyi said that she was going to do something important, and this matter was related to the life and death of the Red Lotus Sect. She thought for a moment and then lowered her voice and said, "I think that the Holy Aunt and the Dharma Protector were going to choose one of the two of us to go to the business at the earliest. Hongsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Why do I think it's like we're going undercover?" ”

When Duan Qinglian heard this, her face changed drastically and said, "Hongshang, think about it again, you and Baiyi have noble statuses, how could you let you go undercover?" ”

Hongshang said more and more affirmatively: "Yes, when I think about it like this, I think it's ten like." ”

Duan Qinglian asked again: "Then where are you going?" ”

Hongshang thought about it again, and hesitated and said, "Since that day, Baiyi hasn't been with me for two days, but I look at her and she seems to walk a little differently. She suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, one night Bai Yi was practicing a strange ritual in her room. ”

Duan Qinglian hurriedly asked, "Do you remember what kind of gift it was?" ”

Hongshang thought for a long time before making a gesture.

Duan Qinglian looked at Hongshang's movements, and suddenly froze there, the enthusiasm and heartiness on her face receded like a tide, leaving only a look of surprise on her face. She laughed and said, "Hongshang, you are really a good boy, don't worry, once there is news of Baiyi, I will be the first to tell you." After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving Hongshang alone inexplicably.

Duan Qinglian returned to the branch hall, and the deputy hall master Chen Zhiming saw that her face was hideous, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Hall master, what happened?" ”

Duan Qinglian gritted her teeth and replied: "I know where Bai Yi went, Ma Qingxue and Cheng Shilong, two fools, such a good time, they let it go in vain." The two of them are not small, and they even dare to do this. He glared and asked, "Haven't you heard back yet?" ”

Chen Zhiming shook his head, and Duan Qinglian laughed angrily: "We Baba came to the door, and they even picked up the shelf." You tell them that if they don't cooperate with me again, they still want to have illusions about Ma Qingxue, and they don't even know how to drop their heads. After finishing speaking, he said something in Chen Zhiming's ear.

After hearing these words, Chen Zhiming's face was also nervous, he arched his hand and said to Duan Qinglian: "Please rest assured, the subordinates swear to follow the hall master to the death, and this matter will definitely be done." After saying that, he hurried out of the house.

After Chen Zhiming left, Duan Qinglian walked around the house a few more times before suppressing the shock and anger that surged into her heart, gradually stabilizing her figure, and muttering as if she didn't believe it: "Ma Qingxue and Cheng Shilong are so bold that they dare to send people to the palace. After thinking for a while, he said fiercely: "The slut in white must have come to the prince, such a good opportunity, the two of them seem to be blind." Ma Qingxue, Ma Qingxue, if it weren't for my alertness, the Red Lotus Sect would definitely be destroyed in your hands. ”

At noon, Chen Zhiming hurried back from outside, he didn't have time to wipe the sweat off his face, and reported straight to Duan Qinglian: "Tell the hall master, the other side has agreed to connect, and we will meet in the courtyard of the Wu family in Sankesong Alley tonight." ”

After hearing Chen Zhiming's words, Duan Qinglian couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay, Hall Master Chen, you have worked hard, and after the matter is completed, I will decide to reward your meritorious deeds." ”

After Chen Zhiming left, Duan Qinglian laughed loudly.

The time has not come, in the dead of night, the sky is dark like paint, the courtyard of the Wu family in the alley of Sankesong, suddenly a few figures passed, and gently fell in the courtyard, this is a very ordinary house, it looks inconspicuous from the outside during the day, but at night there is an indescribable mystery. As soon as a few figures settled, a male voice sounded in a low voice: "Hall Master Duan is so handsome." Immediately, he clapped his hands, and the door of the main house slowly opened.

Duan Qinglian expected that this was a secret stronghold over there, presumably the other party had nothing to do in a hurry in the morning, so she had to put it here, but since the other party met here, it showed that the cooperation between the two sides was very good.

Duan Qinglian looked at the open door, swaggered in, and several entourages behind her wanted to follow up together, Duan Qinglian waved her hand, but no one took it, and walked into the door slowly. As soon as she stepped inside, the door closed again.

Duan Qinglian saw that there were three people in the room, one of them was sitting on a chair in the front hall of the hall, his face was hidden in the shadows, he could only see that his lips were beardless, his mouth was full of coldness, and the other two men stood behind him, their eyes were fierce and their bodies were strong. Duan Qinglian didn't say much, she sat on the first chair in a big way, just smiling silently.

In the candlelight, only the man sitting stretched out his hand and waved it, and the two big men behind him glanced at each other, then exited the door and closed it tightly. The man turned on the candle flame casually, and under the light, this person was the person who was secretly talking to Ma Qingxue and Jackie Shilong.

The man's expression was still gloomy, and he said lightly: "Hall Master Duan is really a heroine among women, aren't you afraid that the Red Lotus Sect will know about your private actions?" ”

Duan Qinglian laughed out loud when she heard this: "Could it be that Gong Cao wants the Red Lotus Sect to know what I did?" ”

The man known as "Cao Gong" snorted and asked in a sharp voice, "Is what you sent someone to say in the morning true?" ”

Duan Qinglian smiled again: "It's true, presumably Cao Gong also has eyes and ears in the Red Lotus Sect, you should know that the white clothes of the saint from Siling Mountain have not been seen for about twelve days, right?" ”

The candlelight shone on Cao Gong's face, and his silent face was a little faintly angry, but Duan Qinglian looked proud, looking like he was bound to win.

Half an hour later, the door opened with a "squeak", Duan Qinglian walked out of the door, and Cao Gong followed. When she got out, Duan Qinglian arched her hand and said loudly: "I look forward to a happy cooperation." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his body and disappeared into the night with several other people.
