Chapter 13: The New Co-helmsman
Several maids looked at each other, thinking to themselves what Dugu Jiuhe was making trouble with, and also, who is the new iron-masked man, and why can he replace Dugu Jiuhe as soon as he appears and be the new master? Looking at those disciples, when they heard such shocking news, they didn't react at all, as if this was a normal thing, could it be that in the past year, Baixiangmen has undergone some earth-shaking changes?
Although there were many questions in their hearts, no one in Baixiangmen, who was in a state of excitement, had time to answer them.
Qiu Shuang, who had been observing the situation in the center of the field, turned his head slightly, looked at the sisters around him and muttered, "How do I feel that the one with the iron mask is watching us all the time?" ”
Hearing this, Xia Yu also turned his head, looked at it for a long time, and didn't find any strange signs, so he shook his head and said, "It's you who are too careful, he is wearing a mask, I don't even know where his eyes are, how do you know that he is looking at us." ”
"I can't see clearly, but I can feel his gaze!" Qiushuang looked determined, and asked Dongxue Dao beside him, "You have high martial arts, did you feel the persecution of sight just now?" ”
In fact, since that person just entered, Dong Xue's gaze never left him, and every little movement of his did not escape Dong Xue's eyes, so she naturally felt that the man's gaze could not be ignored.
"That person must know us!"
"What? Are you sure about the winter snow? I don't remember knowing someone in such a strange costume, wearing an iron mask all the time, unless he didn't want to see us, and deliberately dressed like this. ”
Xia Yu always thinks about uselessness, but sometimes, unintentional words can also wake up everyone. The maids were still pondering when they had met a man of such a figure, and when the whole preaching assembly was over, the disciples came out one after another, and the masked man left. Dongxue wanted to come forward to investigate, but was stopped by Dugu Jiuhe and began to babble about how hateful the person who robbed Baili Lan.
For the sake of face, a few maids couldn't interrupt Dugu Jiuhe's denunciation, only Xia Yu, who had no heart and lungs, was not afraid of offending people, and opened his mouth to say, "Those who can rob the county lord must be bad people, so I don't need you to repeat it." But what's the matter with the deputy helmsman, can you leave the county lord's affairs in his hands? ”
Hearing someone mention the masked man, Dugu Jiuhe seemed to be showing off his most proud work, and said eloquently, "His name is Wuyan, and he entered Baixiangmen half a year ago, although he has no identity and no background, but he has a good martial arts, and even the old man is ashamed of himself." Wuyan not only has high martial arts, but also has excellent intelligence, and he has received several difficult cases in the door, all of which are his suggestions, coming up with strange moves, and winning against the enemy. Although he entered the door for a short time, the old man admired him and rose through the ranks to become the second co-helmsman second only to me in the door. Hey, I think that if it wasn't for the old man's insight and promotion of him, I am afraid that he would have to be dusted, and there would be one less young talent in the martial arts. At present, Wuyan is fully capable of taking over Baixiangmen, and can lead the people of Baixiangmen to develop better. With such a good successor, why should I stay here? It's better to go happily to the mountains and rivers, and find one or two beauties to accompany you, wouldn't it be happy! ”
Dugu Jiuhe imagined happily, but the more the maids listened, the darker their faces became. It was Xia Yu who couldn't hold his breath in the end, and said to him, "You are so old, and you still want to find a woman, the risk is too great, you should be at ease and enjoy your old age!" ”
"Nonsense! The old man is very tough, and I can do what the young man can do! Dugu Jiuhe was so angry that he blew his beard and argued for himself, but he felt that it was too rude to talk to the little girls like this, Dugu Jiuhe coughed lightly, and then said, "Cough, in short, you don't have to worry about Lan'er, since there is no shame, you will definitely be able to bring her back safely." Go back to your house now, prepare your lord's favorite food, and it won't be long before she can go home!" ”
Entrusting such an important matter to a stranger, a few maids can rest assured, and Dugu Jiuhe firmly believes that Wuyan can do it, so the maids leave helplessly and decide to find another solution.

Her beautiful eyes flickered, then opened them gently, first at the ceiling in a daze, then at the slightly dimly lit room, turned over, and continued to close her eyes and fall asleep.
"Heh, I thought you would come and cut me with a knife when you woke up." In the quiet room, a male voice suddenly sounded, at first glance, it felt gentle and affectionate, and it was full of concern, but after savoring it, you will find that behind the gentleness, there is an unkind indifference.
Still with her eyes closed, Bai Lilan muttered indifferently, "It's a matter of time before I cut you, I need to rest now, and I don't have time to take care of you." ”
Looking at Baili Lan's delicate curves from the side, the man swallowed his saliva, his breath was a little hot, and his eyes became eager. Adjusting his sitting position, the man's voice said hoarsely, "Baililan, I'm a man after all, do you think I can't do anything with you, or are you too confident in yourself?" You are now in my hands, and if I want to force you, you will also make the heavens and the earth unspiritual! ”
Bai Lilan, who was lying with her back to the man, seemed to smile, her shoulders shaking, and said lazily, "You want to force me?" Hmph, that's the worst thing I've ever heard. Since you have the guts, have you ever thought about the consequences? Two days ago, the emperor announced that you would return to the palace, but I didn't expect that the first thing you did when you returned to Beijing was to rob the lord of Lanjun who was to marry Lanling. Do you think what I said is right? ”
Slowly stood up from his seat, Su Yiling smiled at the corner of his mouth, as usual, gentle and elegant. It's just that in this secret room, Shu Yiling, who has taken off her identity as a prince, seems to be a little more wild and uninhibited, and her gaze at Baili Lan is even more unscrupulous. Taking two steps forward, Shu Yichen approached Baili Lan, his eyes were full of fascination, and he muttered softly, "The price? If I can't get you, the price I pay will be even greater! You don't seem to know your importance, and you're still running around the world stupidly, and if other people knew about your prophecy, I'm afraid you'd have already become the meat of other people's eyes by now, and you wouldn't have the useless mind to plan! ”
Before Shu Yiling approached the bedside, Bai Lilan took the lead in turning over neatly, got out next to him, and stood behind him, arranging her slightly messy long hair. She stroked her hair and said with a sneer, "Prophecy? I haven't heard of this kind of thing, but you said to hear it, and it opened my eyes. ”
Shu Yiling felt that in a flash, the beauty had already floated behind him. Although she was a little surprised in her heart, Su Yiling still smiled lightly and said kindly, "Since you are already in my hands, I am not afraid to tell you the truth." Back then, I was fortunate enough to meet the old man of Tianji by chance, and learned a prophecy: there is a daughter in the Baili family, with amazing beauty and unparalleled talent, and the first half of her life is chaotic and lightless, and she needs to encounter a catastrophe before she can transform into a butterfly. This woman has the personality of a celestial woman, who can protect the dragon vein and protect the throne. If you get this woman, you can win the world! At first, I didn't believe it, because the county lord Lan who was still in the Dingnan Royal Mansion was really stupid enough and deserved to be used. Later, I met Master Wuyan again, the Emperor Star and the Tianfeng Star appeared at the same time, he used his lifelong cultivation to spy on you are the destined person of the Tianfeng Star, and then reunited with you in the palace, I saw the difference in your eyes, as the old man of Tianji said, transformed into a brilliant and stunning daughter, so that I have moved my mind to you. It's just that Su Yichen is jealous and protects you tightly, and I have never had a chance to do it. Later, you broke off the relationship with Shu Yichen, but I was sent to the frontier, and you traveled all over the world, so that the people I sent missed twice and three times, which was really frustrating. As for how I missed out on the crown prince, you should know why, right? But I don't hate you, seeing your outstanding intelligence, I only regret that I didn't snatch you to my side earlier, maybe the person sitting on the Jinluan Palace today is me! ”
Ignoring his rebellious words, Bai Lilan stared at the corner of the wooden table and said in a cold voice, "It turns out that along the way, it was not only Su Yichen's people who attacked me, but you also participated." So, the attack on the edge of the cliff in Bac Ninh was also done by you? ”
Shu Yiling thought about it casually and said, "It wasn't really me that time, I wasn't as rich as Shu Yichen, and the people I invited were all masters of the rivers and lakes." My purpose is only for you, as long as I can rob you, it doesn't matter how many people there are. Sensing Baili Lan's murderous intentions, Shu Yiling unconsciously looked out the window, calculated the time, and secretly thought that even if he was really in danger, the guards outside the door could rush in to relieve him. It's just that Shu Yiling felt that Baili Lan's attitude had become abrupt, thinking that she had encountered danger, so she restrained her smile and stepped forward to ask, "What, who hurt you?" If that is the case, you can tell me that I will send someone to clean him up! ”
"That person is Su Yichen, you go and clean up, you'd better clean up with each other, clean up until both lose, I'm happy!" Raising his head, Baili Lan smiled with a variety of charms, like a poisonous poppy, attracting others to sink willingly. When Su Yiling took the bait and slowly approached, Bai Lilan's expression suddenly changed, and her fingers pinched Shu Yiling's throat, and her fingers were just about to be forced, and a feeling of dizziness floated up, making Bai Li Lan's hands hang down softly like cotton.
Looking at his hands with heavy eyes, Baili Lan's voice was like cold iron in the frost, making the toucher shudder, "You drugged me?" ”
Although she knew that Baili Lan had no ability to hurt herself at this moment, the fierce murderous aura she exuded just now still made Shu Yiling frightened, making him almost think that he would kill her subordinates.
