Mrs. He arranged for Lin Ruan to listen to Xue Xuan in a very remote corner of He Mansion, the courtyard is not big, there is only one main room, and the east and west wings, but the scenery in the courtyard is good.

Lin Ruan was arranged to live in the main house, and was also given two little girl rings.

Although the courtyard door of Tingxue Xuan was always open, Lin Ruan never took another half step, and was very cooperative with Mrs. He, quietly staying in the courtyard, waiting for the arrival of Xiao Jingchen or his subordinates.

And He Yuyan never appeared again, thinking that she was taken away by Mrs. He.

After waiting in He Mansion like this for four days, finally in the middle of the night on the fourth day, a tall figure walked into the courtyard with two retinues.

When Lin Ruan was woken up by Yahuan, he was still a little dazed.

Yahuan said softly: "Miss Lin, the prince has arrived and is waiting for you in the hall." ”

Lin Ruan immediately sobered up, got up and got dressed, and pulled away his somewhat disheveled hair, and then went out to the bedroom door.

In the hall, Xiao Jingchen was wearing a black coat and sitting on the main seat drinking tea.

Liang Twelve and another Lin Ruan's very eye-catching brocade guards stood respectfully on both sides.

As soon as he saw Lin Ruan come out, Liang Twelve gave her a look.

Lin Ruan couldn't understand it, so he looked at his nose and nose, and bowed to Xiao Jingchen: "I've seen Xiao Ye." ”

Xiao Jingchen glanced up at her, his eyes paused slightly, and then nodded: "I heard that you have important information?" ”

Lin Ruan nodded and said, "A few days ago, I accidentally found a few black-clothed people practicing swords on a mountain on the back of Shenwu Mountain. Because after the previous incident, I paid attention and tried to investigate, and then found a large number of men in black on that mountain. Those men in black had fortified themselves in the mountains and set up many sentinels, and judging from their actions, they should have been extremely rigorously trained. In addition, I also found a cave in the mountain, the cave was dug out by man, the cave is extended in all directions, there should be a lot of people living in the cave, in the cave hall, I found a very strange totem. ”

Xiao Jingchen's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes looked at Lin Ruan coldly, "Totem? ”

Lin Ruan nodded, and then said to Yahuan, "Go and take out the paper under my pillow." ”

Yahuan turned into the room and quickly took the paper.

Lin Ruan unfolded the paper and pointed the picture above at Xiao Jingchen.

Liang Twelve and the brocade guard with a raw face suddenly changed their faces, and they looked at Xiao Jingchen with some excitement.

"Master!"

Xiao Jingchen was very calm, still with that cold look, his eyes scrutinizing Lin Ruan's face back and forth.

Lin Ruan was not afraid at all and let him look at it.

After a while, Xiao Jingchen retracted his gaze and asked, "What you said is the truth?" ”

Lin Ruan nodded: "Of course, I don't need to lie to you." ”

Xiao Jingchen still looked like he was paralyzed: "Do you know, what is this pattern on your paper?" ”

Lin Ruan glanced down at the pattern: "This is the totem in that cave, what I drew may not be accurate, but it is probably like this." ”

At that time, the mouse's eyesight was not good, and the time was too short, and what she saw was only an approximation.

Xiao Jingchen leaned back, "This is the mark of the Dark Pavilion, and all the dead soldiers in the Dark Pavilion have such a totem on them." ”

Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I really guessed correctly, the black clothes in Mochizuki Mountain are the same as those people before." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Jingchen: "Now that you know that those people are the same group that assassinated you before, then you can take people over to kill them." ”

The corners of Xiao Jingchen's mouth hooked up a smile of unknown meaning: "Sooner or later, but I want to know, how did you, a peasant girl who can only do some simple kung fu, manage to come and go freely in the dark pavilion?" The Dark Pavilion would not allow any unidentified people to approach at all, let alone enter their interior. Lin Ruan, if you can't explain this matter clearly, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this courtyard in your life. ”

Liang Twelve and that brocade guard also looked at Lin Ruan with a good look.

At this moment, Lin Ruan felt a killing intent.

But she was not afraid at all, and looked at Xiao Jingchen very calmly: "Xiao Ye wants to know, of course I can explain, but this matter is related to a secret of mine, so please let Xiao Ye let your two subordinates temporarily withdraw from Tingxue Xuan, and I will explain it to you clearly." ”

Liang Twelve and the other person immediately stepped forward vigilantly, their eyes full of murderous aura.

Lin Ruan also understood one thing at this moment, Jin Yiwei really killed people without blinking.

Even if she had a little friendship with Liang Twelve before, even if she saved Xiao Jingchen, as long as she couldn't get rid of the suspicion, or wanted to be unfavorable to Xiao Jingchen, they would not hesitate to take her life.

For an existence like Jin Yiwei, not everyone is qualified to make friends with them.

Knowing this, Lin Ruan didn't have any special thoughts in his heart.

She has crawled out of the last days and adapted well to the rules of the game.

Lin Ruan said lightly: "If Xiao Ye is afraid that I will cheat, you can tie my hands and feet first." However, these two must exit the courtyard, or I will not be able to explain it to you. ”

In fact, she had already figured it out when she decided to come to Fucheng, how could Xiao Jingchen believe what she said casually. The existence of the dark pavilion is not approached by an ordinary woman. It is impossible to believe it rashly.

Therefore, if you want Xiao Jingchen to believe her words, you must confess to him.

She was gambling, betting that Xiao Jingchen should not be unfavorable to her.

Because she still has a bargaining chip, she believes that Xiao Jingchen will be tempted.

Liang Twelve glanced at Lin Ruan, turned his head and called Xiao Jingchen, and asked him with his eyes.

Xiao Jingchen waved his hand: "You go out first." ”

Liang Twelve was anxious: "Master, in case ......"

"Get out."

Xiao Jingchen's voice was not loud, and even his tone did not change much, but when Twelve and the other brocade guards immediately raised their feet and walked out, they glanced at Lin Ruan as if they were warning when they left.

Lin Ruan's eyes did not squint, he was fearless and fearless, and let the two maids also withdraw from the courtyard.

After all the irrelevant people had withdrawn from the courtyard, Lin Ruan took a deep breath and said, "Master Xiao wants to know why I was able to enter the Dark Pavilion, to be honest, everything I said before was not what I saw with my own eyes. However, it is no different from what I have seen with my own eyes, everything I say is true. Because, I have the ability to control birds and beasts and let them see what I want to see for me. That day I had a few birds reach the Dark Pavilion and have a mouse crawl into the cave. ”

Xiao Jingchen, who had not had any change in expression and expression, finally had a surprised look on his face, "Control birds and beasts? ”

This is unheard of.

Lin Ruan nodded: "As long as I want, I can control any bird or beast to check the intelligence and information for me, and it will not arouse anyone's suspicion." ”
