Early morning of June 23.

Han Mansion, in Han Linger's room, there was a new set of red clothes stacked on the table, and all kinds of good rouges were also placed on the dresser, and the four maidservants were standing on the side of the bed with embarrassed faces, each of them looking pitiful at a loss. Han Ling'er, who was wearing a white dress, sat quietly on the edge of the bed with her eyes closed, no matter how the four maidservants persuaded her, she still refused to put on makeup.

"Miss, you can be wronged and let the slaves and maids help you dress up, otherwise we won't be like Master Hou to explain. A slightly shorter maid spoke diligently and persuaded, "In this way, you can dress up and let the Hou Ye take a look, and then the slaves and maids will help you remove your makeup immediately, okay?"

"Whose maid are you?" The long eyelashes blinked slightly, Han Ling'er slowly opened her eyes and looked at the four maidservants, and said coldly, "You have been serving me for more than a day or two, when have you changed what I said?"

"Miss, this time is different from the past, and we are also very sympathetic to Miss's plight, but now if Miss insists on refusing, I am afraid that it will cause more trouble. The short maid said with a look of embarrassment, "Miss, let the slaves and maidservants take care of your makeup!"

"Get out!" Han Ling'er said coldly, "Dad and I have never treated you badly before, but I never thought that today you will all become Han Cheng's lackeys." Get me out, I don't want to see you now. ”

"Miss......"

"Alright, go down!"

Without waiting for the four slaves to persuade again, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door, and then I saw Han Cheng slowly walking into the room with a smile on his face, and the four maidservants rushed out as relieved under his wave of his hand. After a while, there were only two people left in the room, Han Cheng and Han Ling'er. Han Cheng sat at the table, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the silky satin red dress, and said to himself: "Ling'er, your temperament has really not changed at all after so many years. ”

"But you've changed!" Han Ling'er glared at Han Cheng viciously and shouted coquettishly, "How can you treat my father like this, he is your relative!"

Han Cheng smiled undeniably and said: "I have always regarded him as the closest person, but unfortunately I am not the closest person in his heart, no matter how hard I try to prove myself in front of him, but he always has only you in his heart." I don't care if you're my sister, but what I can't bear the most is that in his heart, the outsider surnamed Lu will always be in front of me. ”

"If my father doesn't care about you, how can I promote you to be the general of Northern Xinjiang in front of the emperor? If I don't have my father, how can I have you today?" Han Ling'er retorted indignantly, "Han Cheng, you don't have to make excuses for your ingratitude anymore, I can see clearly what kind of person you are." ”

Han Cheng sighed, shook his head and said, "You don't know who I am, if I am really as ungrateful as you think, how can I try my best to protect your life in front of Su Xie?" Ling'er, why do you only see my cold side, but never see my warm side?"

"Enthusiasm?" Han Ling'er laughed unabashedly as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, "If Su Xie didn't want to use me to lure out Yifan, how could you pretend to stand up and protect me? Your enthusiasm for me is just to say good things for Su Xie! Let me tell you, even if Su Xie can spread rumors to insult my reputation and ruin my reputation, I will not obediently obey, let alone help you deal with Yifan." ”

"What a ...... Silly girl. Han Cheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Others can't see it, but I can see it." Su Xie doesn't want to marry you all because he wants to take advantage of you, but he really likes you. Although Yufeng stayed by his side all day long, serving him and taking care of him in every way, the man's heart Yufeng couldn't understand after all, in Su Xie's heart, you were more attractive than Yufeng. ”

"That's because I'm not as self-depraved as that woman. Han Ling'er snorted disdainfully, "She can even kill her own husband for Su Xie, this kind of woman is already vicious to the bones, and there is no way to save it." ”

"Yufeng is indeed hopeless, she not only killed Feng Chenghuang, but now she wants to kill you. Han Cheng nodded and said, "Because she already regards you as her biggest rival." Not only her, but even I think that once Su Xie marries you, Yufeng will definitely fall out of favor. ”

"Hmph! what a joke!" Han Ling'er had no interest in this topic, and simply turned her head and ignored Han Cheng.

"Ling'er, I'm here to tell you a piece of news. Han Cheng pondered for a moment, but still decided to say the words buried in his heart, "It's about Lu Yifan." ”

As soon as she heard the words "Lu Yifan", Han Ling'er, who had an indifferent face, trembled suddenly, and then she quickly got up and walked to Han Cheng's side, and asked with excitement and nervousness in her eyes: "Yifan, he ...... Is there any news?" Han Cheng raised his eyebrows, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, and the news is very accurate." ”

"Then ...... him," Han Ling'er suddenly choked up halfway through her words, "It's still ...... Are you still alive?"

Looking at Han Ling'er who was nervously holding his skirt tightly with his hands, Han Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes, and asked in a pretended high-level rhetorical manner, "How is he alive? What do you want to do when he dies?"

Han Ling'er was stunned, she didn't expect that at this time, Han Cheng would still have the heart to go around in circles with herself, and muttered thoughtfully: "If he lives, I will live, and if he is gone, then I will not live alone......"

"I really don't understand what is so good about Lu Yifan? Why are you people all dead set on him and never give up?" The "these people" in Han Cheng's mouth naturally refers to Ji Yuan and the others who are imprisoned in the prison cell, "What can he bring you? Glory and wealth or a high position? But now you have not gained anything, but have become prisoners one by one. ”

Han Ling'er looked at Han Cheng with a sneer, and said faintly: "There are some things that you will never understand, because you never know what love is. ”

Han Cheng was suddenly deeply stung by Han Linger's words, and an indescribable grievance in his heart made him want to get angry, Han Cheng glared at Han Ling'er angrily, and Han Ling'er stared at him coldly without shying away, and the two looked at each other like this for a long time before Han Cheng waved his hand tastelessly and said, "Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you." I'm here to tell you, you don't have to think about dying all day long, because Lu Yifan is still alive now. ”

"Really ......" Han Ling'er didn't say anything, and tears of joy had already slipped down the corners of her eyes, "Really?"

"Not only is he alive, but he is now in Jinling City. Han Cheng once again said a shocking news, which made Han Ling'er, who had just stirred up a thousand waves in his heart, make waves again.

"Su Xie's method worked, using you as bait Lu Yifan can really take the bait. Han Cheng had something to say, "But you don't have to think about doing anything stupid to make Lu Yifan give up saving you, because since he has already come, he no longer has a chance to get out." The entire Jinling City has been sealed off by my order, and there are masters of Xuanzong, Donghua Palace, Beast Domain Rakshasa Gate and the Three Holy Mountains of the Spirit Domain everywhere inside and outside Jinling. ”

"You ......" Han Ling'er no longer knew what kind of words to use to rebuke Han Cheng and Su Xie for their despicability, but pointed at Han Cheng with his hand and gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Ling'er, I am your brother, and I have never wanted to harm you. Han Cheng suddenly became extremely sincere, and his tone was full of sincerity, "The best way out for you now is not to continue to wait for Lu Yifan, but to happily worship heaven and earth with Su Xie, only in this way can you save your life." Otherwise, when Lu Yifan dies, it will be difficult for you to save if you lose your value. ”

"As long as you can be with your beloved, what's the point of dying?" Han Ling'er said stubbornly, "You will die of this heart! Let me marry Su Xie and let my child recognize the thief as his father in the future, these are simply impossible!"

"Bang!"

Han Cheng slammed the table and stood up, looked down at the stubborn Han Ling'er condescendingly, and said angrily: "Ling'er, the eldest brother is like a father, this matter is no longer up to you to choose, you have to marry on the first day of the seventh month, and you have to marry if you don't marry! Otherwise, your father will be the first substitute ghost you would rather die than obey." ”

"You can't threaten me. Han Ling'er was heartbroken, and said word by word, "I can't repay my father's nurturing kindness in this life, then I will repay his old man as a cow and a horse in the next life, in short, I will definitely not let you succeed......" Han Ling'er didn't finish speaking, but she suddenly reached out and took off the golden hairpin from her head and stabbed it towards her throat. said that it was too late, and when the golden hairpin in Han Linger's hand was about to pierce her delicate skin, an invisible hand suddenly grabbed Han Linger's wrist from mid-air, and then the strength rose suddenly, Han Linger's entire right hand holding the golden hairpin was thrown out, and the golden hairpin flew out and fell on the dresser in the distance, smashing the rouge gouache on the table.

"Girl, how can you do stupid things when you are pregnant?"

With a stern woman's voice, Yun Huaizi, one of the Four Immortal Venerables of Donghua Palace, appeared strangely in the room, and the invisible hand that was holding Han Ling'er's wrist at this moment also turned into Yun Huaizi's left hand at this moment. Yun Huaizi has always had compassion for Han Ling'er, which can be seen from the last time Liu Sandao and Qin Qingyu escaped. Seeing Yun Huaizi, Han Cheng hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Ling'er has to worry about Lao Xianzun, so he will retire!" After saying that, Han Cheng took a deep look at Han Ling'er and hurriedly left Han Ling'er's boudoir.

"Immortal Venerable, what are you doing to save me?" Han Ling'er did not have such a deep hostility towards Yun Huaizi, on the contrary, she always had a trace of inexplicable trust in Yun Huaizi in her heart, probably because they were both women!

"Silly girl, do you really think you can die?" Yun Huaizi shook his head and said, "Su Xie's plan has been completed, Lu Yifan has taken the bait, and now even if you die, Su Xie will still use your corpse to lure Lu Yifan out." In the end, the only one who really suffers is Lu Yifan, and you can't threaten anyone else. ”

"Immortal Venerable, why do you want to help Su Xie do evil?" This sentence Han Ling'er has asked Yun Huaizi I don't know how many times, but Yun Huaizi has turned a deaf ear to such a question every time, and has never given her a positive answer, this time is no exception, Yun Huaizi stretched out his hand and tapped a few acupoints on Han Linger's body, and the strength of Han Linger's whole body suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his body also sat lightly in the chair.

"Girl, things in the world are more complicated than you imagined, and people's hearts are more sinister than you imagined. Yun Huaizi said, "If you want to be pure, you have to learn to have no desires and no desires, how can you be so affectionate and not be painful? Before I came here, I stayed in Donghua Palace for thousands of years to concentrate on purification, so that one day I could be pure forever." There are many things that you can't change, so it's better to go with the flow......"

Yun Huaizi has told Han Ling'er these truths more than once, every time Han Ling'er is emotional and does something stupid, Yun Huaizi will appear in time to appease his heart, and over time, this has become a normal situation between the two of them.

......

"Brother Han, how is Miss Han?

In the main hall, Su Xie looked at Han Cheng with a gloomy face and asked with a smile. As soon as Su Xie said this, Yufeng, who was sitting beside him, instantly turned ugly. Yufeng has always been worried about Su Xie's marriage to Han Ling'er, although she knows that this is Su Xie's means to lure out Lu Yifan, but she is always worried that Su Xie will fake the show, and she is extremely uncomfortable every time she is here.

"She'll figure it out. Han Cheng didn't answer directly, but prevaricated with a wry smile, "Do you want me to send more people to look around the city for the whereabouts of Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao in the next few days?"

Su Xie shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Han doesn't have to be so troublesome, since Lu Yi and the mortals have already arrived in Jinling City, then sooner or later they will take the initiative to come to the door." I'm just curious about how Lu Yifan will solve this matter now. ”

"Report!"

Just as Su Xie and Han Cheng were chatting in the hall, a guard from the Han Mansion walked into the hall quickly and said to Han Cheng: "Master Hou, someone outside the door said that he wanted to see Su Xie Gongzi. ”

"Who is it?" Han Cheng sat up straight when he heard this, and asked curiously, "But Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao?"

"Only one person came. The guard smiled bitterly, "It shouldn't be Lu Yifan or Liu Sandao, because the villain knows him, and this person is a ruffian in the well of Jinling City, nicknamed Jin Laosan." I heard that in the past two years, I have opened a tavern on the outskirts of the city. ”

"Jin Laosan?" Han Cheng had never even heard of this name, after all, his identity was very different from Jin Laosan, how could the new martial artist who held the power of the Holy Domain court know a small ruffian in Jinling City?

"Let him in. Su Xie frowned slightly, and then opened his mouth to command. The guard first glanced at Han Cheng, and only after Han Cheng nodded did he happily agree, turned around and ran down the hall.

After a while, Jin Laosan, who was staring at a pair of curious eyes, walked into the main hall tremblingly under the leadership of the guards, and sighed again and again in Jin Laosan's mouth along the way, especially when he entered the main hall, he only hated his father and mother for not giving him a few more pairs of eyes, looking east and west, and finally his eyes inadvertently swept to Yufeng, who was sitting next to Su Xie, and a greedy and envious evil light suddenly flashed from his eyes, but Jin Laosan was not a fool, and naturally knew that he couldn't make a mistake in this kind of place, so he hurriedly reined in the evil light in his eyes, but it may be due to his lustful nature, even Jin Laosan, who lowered his head, couldn't help but raise his eyelids and look at Yufeng. Looking at the angry and unattractive Jin Laosan in front of him, Han Cheng's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Your name is Jin Laosan?"

"Little Jin Laosan. Jin Laosan nodded and agreed, "I don't know which of you two is Uncle Su Xisu?"

"Say anything. Han Cheng urged impatiently, "What are you doing here to find Su Evil Prince?"

"Someone asked me to send a message to Uncle Su. Jin Laosan didn't know the identities of the two people in the seat, and he didn't dare to refute it, but just said to himself, "That...... I am also entrusted by others, in fact, I don't know the person who asked me to pass the word...... "Jin Laosan knows that Lu Yifan is now a wanted criminal in the Holy Domain, so he is afraid of being implicated, so he took the first step to exonerate himself.

"Nonsense!" Han Cheng's eyes were cold, and he let out a low snort. Seeing this, the two guards standing behind Jin Laosan raised their feet and kicked them suddenly, and immediately kicked Jin Laosan to his knees.

"I said I said ......" Jin Laosan stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked his shriveled lips, and said with a look of grievance, "I heard Sister Qiao say that it was Lu Yifan who asked her to pass a message to Uncle Su, but she didn't dare to come, so I came......"

"You're looking for death!"

"Don't don't, I said I'......" Without waiting for Han Cheng's voice to fall, Jin Laosan quickly blurted out, "Lu Yifan sent a message to Uncle Su, saying that let Uncle Su release his people, and on the first day of July, he will show up and fight with Uncle Su on the top of the Jinling Imperial City." ”

"Are you sure it's Lu Yifan?" Su Xie, who was not shocked at the beginning, couldn't help but show curiosity in his eyes when he heard this, his tone was much gentler than Han Cheng's, and Jin Laosan's heart was much more steady.

"It's Lu Yifan. Jin Lao San nodded heavily.

"Where is Lu Yifan, and who is Sister Qiao?" Han Cheng asked in a cold voice.

"I don't know where Lu Yifan is? Sister Qiao is a **** ...... in the north of Jinling City" Jin Laosan suddenly realized that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly changed his words, "It's a woman, a woman! Eighty percent is what Lu Yifan asked her to pass on when she went to spend the night with her!" In order to cover up his direct relationship with Lu Yifan, Jin Laosan deliberately added an innocent Sister Qiao as a cushion in the middle.

"Your words are very good, hard work. Su Xie smiled and nodded and said, after that, he also took out a bag of money from his sleeve and threw it to Jin Laosan, Jin Laosan stretched out his hand and knew that this weight was more than what he stole from Liu Sandao yesterday, and he was ecstatic at the moment, and couldn't help but add: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, then Lu Yifan also said that he wanted to fight alone with Uncle Su, and what nonsense in the name of God and so on......"

"What did you say?" Su Xueyan, who had already leaned back in his chair, suddenly stood up again and asked with a solemn face, "Did he really say that?"

"Yes!" Jin Laosan began to talk eloquently, "I said at the time, even in the name of the sky and the rich soil and the eighteenth generation of your ancestors, you will not succeed! What is the identity of Uncle Su, and why should people fight alone with you, a fugitive? But he didn't listen, and said that he wanted to fight Uncle Su in the name of God, and he had to fight alone...... At that time, I said to him, I said, boy, you can't do this, how can you be so superstitious if you don't learn well at a young age? If you win, you win, if you lose, you lose, and it's useless for you to ask God? But he just won't listen......."

"Enough is enough!" Han Cheng listened to Jin Laosan's nonsense like an invitation, it was really difficult to hear, and ordered, "Give me that stinky mouth to slap him!" As soon as he gave the order, the guards on both sides set up Jin Laosan and slapped his mouth fiercely.

For Jin Laosan, who was wailing, Su Xie did not sympathize at all, but frowned and speculated what tricks Lu Yifan was playing, and after a moment of silence, Su Xie's eyes moved suddenly, and then his eyes went straight to Jin Laosan, who was lying on the ground with blood on his face and moaning, and said faintly: "Go back and tell Lu Yifan, I can agree to his conditions, but I will not let go until I see him appear." On the first day of the seventh month, I will take the people he wants to wait for him in front of the Jinling Imperial City. ”

"I haven't seen Lu Yifan...... I don't know who Lu Yifan is......" Jin Laosan pouted again.

"Boom out!" Han Cheng gave an order, and Jin Laosan was kicked and beaten out of the hall by two guards.

Su Xie shrank into the chair, staring at the bluestone floor of the lobby with a pair of shining eyes, muttering to himself, "Fight life and death in the name of God...... In the name of God...... It seems that Lu Yifan is really ...... to be able to say such things", and in this way, he gradually fell into endless contemplation.
