The Tongluo Palace, in the west of the city, usually closes the gate tightly when it is getting dark.

It's not that there are some unsavory things in the mansion, but everyone who reads Qingcheng knows that the old Wen Xiang Wen Mingxian lives in this mansion, although he still plays a role in Dayue's spare time, but after all, he is old, and his energy is not as strong as that of young people, so he closed the door early to thank the guests just to have a good rest.

Today's situation is exactly like this, as soon as he entered the Shen, Wen Wen beckoned Wen to close the gate, and then the two of them hid in the side room - the reason why it is said to be "hiding" is because they are worried that the fire at the city gate will affect the pond fish, anyway, there are these masters guarding the courtyard, and the two of them can't help much, so it is better to hide so as not to cause trouble to everyone.

At this time, only a few lamps were lit in the huge courtyard, and in the open space in front of the hall, the original lamppost had long been destroyed, in order to illuminate, Wen Wen specially found a bamboo five or six zhang high, tied obliquely to the remaining lamppost, and hung a large lantern one person high on the top.

At this time there was silence in the courtyard, and its former owner was lying somewhere with weathered bones, and its current owner had been summoned into the palace by the Maha in the afternoon, and it was said that he was going to have a banquet tonight, and he was needed to preside over the banquet.

Yan Yan effortlessly entered the once heavily guarded Tongluo Palace. He came here to invite people on the orders of the Living Buddha - of course, it was said that he was "inviting people", which was also on the premise that the other party cooperated, and if the other party did not cooperate, he would have to "kidnap people".

However, since he heard this arrangement from the mouth of the Living Buddha to this time, he has been thinking about such a question along the way: What kind of person would force the living Buddha to take such a means of coercing others to protect himself?

But when I think about it, this doesn't seem to contradict the original intention of the Living Buddha when he came: he has always done things for stability, but whatever he decides to do, he will never leave the handle of being coerced by others - and in the same way, if there is a way to protect himself, he will not refuse to use it.

He didn't want to figure it out, so he briefly identified the direction under the surrounding lights, and then came directly in the direction of the hall.

However, after galloping forward for a distance of three or five feet, as if suddenly realizing that something was wrong, he stopped steadily, and listened softly with his ears sideways.

"Grandpa, who are you looking for?"

There was a crisp sound, and his face was cold, but he followed the sound to see a child standing on the steps in front of the hall, holding an oil lamp in his hand and probing his head and asking.

This...... Is it the little family of the Wenxiang Mansion? Yan Yan frowned and looked at this eight or nine-year-old child with the same bald head as himself, not sure whether his judgment was right or wrong.

"I'm looking for Wenxiang." I was a little relieved. He said with a smile on his face.

Tian is not afraid of this time, but he secretly scolded in his heart: Old bald donkey! Just rely on your good face to lie to me? Do you think you were your younger self sixty or seventy years ago? You think I don't know your bottom line?

He thought this in his heart, but he smiled back quietly: "My lord was summoned by the Maharaja this afternoon, saying that he was going to a banquet for a monk...... Aren't monks vegetarians? When you get to the feast, you can't drink meat or eat, what is there to entertain......" seems to be dissatisfied with his own adults not staying at home, this child said that the monk is not coming, but it is also endless.

"Oh, since he's not here, then Princess Yuqing can be here?" Seeing that the other party was defenseless against himself when he spoke, the smile on his face made him even more happy, and he immediately opened his mouth to put out today's theme.

Here it comes! Tian was not afraid to sneer in his heart, but he also pretended to be ignorant and said: "Princess? Princess Yuqing? Don't talk nonsense, how can the princess be in our house...... The princess should be in the princess courtyard of the inner palace! ”

"You ......" Yan Yan almost scolded him in front of him when he heard the other party deny it, but then he thought of another possibility, and immediately put away his unhappiness and asked with a smile: "Oh, I said it wrong...... Not a princess. I want to ask if you have seen a beautiful girl in the house recently? ”

"Pretty girl?" Seeing that the other party's eyes lit up, Yan suddenly felt that there was a door, and immediately nodded yes.

"Oh, yes, yes!" Tian is not afraid to nod again and again. There are a lot of beautiful girls, but I don't know if it's what he wants?

"Where is she?" As he asked, he asked as he took a few steps forward.

"This ......" pretended to be deliberately embarrassed, and he was not afraid to stop talking, and he looked at the words with a slight but heartfelt heart.

"Just tell me, and I'll buy you candy." It is clearly something that can be known immediately, but Yan Yan is not in a hurry at this time, he is afraid that he will make the child in front of him shout for help with force, and he is even more afraid that if Princess Yuqing is hiding in a secret place, he will not be able to take people away smoothly, so he is not afraid of the sky in front of him, he can coax and never intimidate.

"Now that the city is closed, you can't buy it...... And I don't like sugar. As if he knew that Yan Yan was deliberately dealing with him, although the child's words were inseparable from eating, he saw the key clearly, and did not get carried away at all because of greed.

"That'...... So what do you like to eat? Patience, he asked again. If the other senior brothers were here, I am afraid that they would also be surprised by Yan Yan's performance - in addition to having such a flattering attitude towards his master *Dege, it seems that no matter who he talks to, there is absolutely no situation where he can't quarrel within three sentences!

However, what happened to Ren Zai "absolutely nothing" has now really happened.

"I love to eat sugar gourds...... "I am not afraid of it, but I don't know what kind of fierce and evil person this person in front of me is on weekdays, so I don't have any gratitude in my heart for the other party's patience to chat with me.

"How about I buy it for you tomorrow? All you have to do is tell me where the pretty girl is hiding, and I'll give you as much as you want. ”

"It's not a good deal." After hearing his words, Tian was not afraid to pretend to be heavy, and after thinking about it, he still refused to say it.

"No ...... Then you say how much you want, I can pay you......" He turned it over to himself, but only a tael or two pieces of silver came out of his body.

"You see, one tael of silver is also a lot, enough for you to buy a lot of sugar gourds......" As if he felt that his words were also unconvincing, Yan Yan's face was slightly red, but in order to complete the task given by the Living Buddha, he still continued cheekily.

"It's not about the money." Tian is not afraid of a mouthful of denial, but his face is always smiling.

"What do you mean?" Such a reply made Yan stunned and asked puzzled.

"It's very simple." Saying this, Tian was not afraid to put the lamp in his hand on the ground, moved a small bench by the door and sat down, and said, "You give me money, and I will tell you where my beautiful sister is hiding, it seems fair......"

"What, isn't it fair?" He frowned slightly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, which was a sign of his impatience.

"It's not fair." Tian was not afraid but didn't seem to see it, and continued to himself: "Money can naturally buy a lot of sugar gourds, but I'm even more afraid that I won't have a chance to eat them after I buy them...... When I hand over my beautiful sister to you, I will sell my life to you, how do I think that my life is only worth one or two silver, I feel unwilling to think about it......"

"Oh? So how much do you think it's worth? When he asked this, Yan frowned, and a smile appeared on his face again, but this time it was daunting.

"It's worth about a million taels." After thinking about it, Tian was not afraid to respond seriously, and as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember what needed to be added, and said: "One million taels is gold, not silver!" ”

A million taels of gold?

Anyone who hears a little hairy boy say that his life is worth this price must be scoffing, right? However, Yan Yan did not laugh, his face was stunned, then nervous, then shocked, and then sneered.

"Who the hell are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am, as long as you remember who you are...... Is it, Flower Demon Luo Ruliang? ”

Luo Ruliang is the only prisoner who has been jointly rewarded by Shu, Beidi, and Xiyue in the past 50 years, with a total bounty of one million gold. What he committed was not a great sin such as betraying the country and collaborating with the enemy, committing rebellion, but only committing a crime that all flower thieves in the world would commit.

But the flowers he picked were not like ordinary flower thieves who went to the homes of rich and powerful gentry at most, and the flowers he picked were places that ordinary thieves would not dare to think of - in the palace, in the minister's house, in the women's prison...... But wherever no one dares to go, he has to try to pick it, and he doesn't know if it's because his strength is really outstanding or his luck has always been good, but the government doesn't even know what he looks like after more than 30 years of chaos, let alone arrest this person.

However, if this is the case, he is not enough to be called a "flower demon". After ten years in hiding, he had lost patience with the officials who had pestered him and vowed to bring him to justice, and he was active again for nearly a year thirty years ago. In the same year, he humiliated and brutally murdered all the female relatives of the family members of the officials who traced his traces and held him back, including nearly 200 people whose names can be examined!

Public opinion was in an uproar for a while, and in the end, the Three Kingdoms had to give up investigating his crimes under great pressure, and his title was the "honorific title" given to him by those who learned from him since then.

The so-called unpredictable world, no one would have thought that he would become one of the four personal disciples of Situ Living Buddha * Derge with a beautiful turn......

"If you don't say my name, you still have a chance to live, but from the moment you say the word 'Luo Ruliang', there is no difference between you and a dead person in my eyes!" With a chill on his face, he stared at the sky and walked forward without fear.

"Me too......" Tian was not afraid to turn a blind eye, but smiled and said: "If you don't threaten me, I still have a chance to live, and now if you threaten me, I can't save you......"

As soon as the words fell, the lantern hanging high above his head suddenly cracked with a "bang".
