Chapter 257: Secrets Exposed

readx;?“ Yifan, what's going on?"

Xie Yun opened the door of the tent and strode in with a puzzled expression. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just on the way from his horse, he had already deeply felt the strange atmosphere in the camp, and it seemed to be a little too depressed.

"Xie Yun?" Liu Sandao, who had just sat down, stood up as soon as he saw Xie Yundang, and greeted him in two steps, "You're back!"

Seeing Xie Yun returning, Lu Yifan also stood up from the main seat, but he was still immersed in the grief and anger just now, and he did not completely ease up, so Lu Yifan did not meet him like Liu Sandao, but stood there and squeezed out an ugly smile at Xie Yunqiang.

"Yifan, ...... are you" The keen Xie Yun suddenly noticed that Lu Yifan's state today was different from the past, so he was secretly surprised in his heart, and then thought of the few blood stains outside the tent just now, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes, "Did you just do it with someone?"

"There are a few mischievous northern border guards, because they bullied the people on the grassland, so they were just executed by Yifan!" Liu Sandao said lightly, as if in his words it was not a few human lives that had just died, but a few inconsequential dog lives.

Hearing this, Xie Yun couldn't help frowning, and then glanced at Lu Yifan who was full of distraction, but there was a touch of worry in his eyes, especially when he saw the blood on Lu Yifan's neck, his face was a little heavier.

"Xie Yun, is it quite safe to go all the way?" Liu Sandao asked with a faint smile.

"It's okay! I'm low-key on the road, but I haven't attracted anyone's attention!" Xie Yun nodded in response, his eyes couldn't help but straighten as he spoke, and then looked left and right a few times, as if he was deliberately looking for something.

"Don't look at it, Ji Yuan and Yi'er are not here!" Lu Yifan guessed Xie Yun's mind early in the morning, so he said softly, "You can tell us bluntly, what is the result of your trip to Yicheng?"

"This ......"

Being asked so bluntly by Lu Yifan, Xie Yun hesitated a little, looking at his hesitant look, it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

"What is this?" Liu Sandao hurriedly asked, "What did you find?

"Brother Liu, Yifan ......" Under Liu Sandao's repeated questioning, Xie Yun finally exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and then his eyes were straight, and his eyes were calm, and he calmly looked at Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao, and after a long time, he said word by word from his mouth, "I have been to Yicheng, and I have found the Sun family's mansion according to what Ji Yuan said, but it has now become an abandoned and deserted mansion......"

"What?" Xie Yun's words made Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao exclaim at the same time.

"What do you mean by a deserted house?" Lu Yifan asked with a frown.

"The meaning of the deserted house is ...... There has never been a rich man in Yicheng, and that mansion was only bought by a mysterious person a few months ago, and when Ji Yuan found Yi'er, that mansion had just been renovated!" Xie Yun explained with an ugly face, "In other words, the fact that Yi'er was found by Ji Yuan was not fate, but was deliberately arranged by someone early on!"

"Shhh

Before Xie Yun's words fell, Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao gasped at the same time, and then glanced at each other faintly, with a look of surprise in their eyes.

......

Lan Chen had just returned to his camp with Hai Lao, Sanchun and others, and before his butt was hot, a guard hurriedly ran in, whispered a few words to Hai Lao, and then was waved down by Hai Lao.

"Hai Lao, but what's the matter?" Lan Chen looked at Hai Lao curiously and asked absentmindedly. Obviously, at this moment, Lan Chen was also immersed in what happened just now, and now his mind was full of what Lu Yifan had just done. Although Lan Chen has done this kind of thing over the years, such a naked execution and beheading, he Lan Chen has never heard of it.

In the end, Lan Chen got only one result, that is, Lu Yifan was definitely more ruthless than himself in his bones.

"Oh, it's fine!" Hai Lao smiled calmly, "It's just that an old friend has come, and the old man wants to meet him!"

"Old friend?" Lan Chen seemed to want to ask for an understanding, but when he saw Hai Lao's smiling face, Lan Chen seemed to suddenly understand something, and lost interest in breaking the casserole to ask the end, so he nodded slightly, signaling Hai Lao to retreat.

Hai Lao hurried back to his tent after leaving Lan Chen's tent, and at this moment there were seven or eight guards with steel knives standing in front of his tent, and the tent door was closed, apparently his old friend was already waiting for him inside.

Hai Lao slowly walked into the tent, the light in the tent was not bright, and it even looked a little dim under the reflection of no candle flame, but even so, Hai Lao still saw a graceful figure that was already waiting in the tent at the moment when he leaned into the account.

If Lu Yifan was also in the tent at this moment, he would definitely be shocked to drop his jaw. Because the woman who appeared in Hai Lao's tent at this moment was actually Ji Yuan's own sister, Ji Yi'er!

"Yi'er has seen Hai Lao!" Ji Yi'er saw Hai Lao, and actually bowed slightly to Hai Lao quite respectfully.

"Girl, I'm just looking for a chance to thank you! If you hadn't secretly sent me a letter that night in the Border Guard Mansion, I'm afraid that Xi Chen's secret performance would have broken our entire plan! Fortunately, with you, I can report to Chu Lingtian in time, so that he will rebel against the army, and also play a copy for Xi Chen in front of the emperor! Let the emperor have a headache himself! Haha......" Hai Lao said with a smile, as if he was not surprised at Ji Yi'er's appearance, but more like they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.

Hai Lao laughed! I was just doing my part! It's just that the last time there was an emergency, I couldn't meet Hai Lao in person. I haven't seen him for a long time, Yi'er is very worried about Hai Lao, I don't know if Hai Lao is still okay with Lan Chen's left and right during this time?" Ji Yi'er asked with a light smile, and her tone sounded quite concerned. You know, even Ji Yuan has never cared so much.

"It's okay!" Hai Lao didn't seem to want to say anything more on this issue, just waved his hand slightly and motioned for Ji Yi'er to sit down, and then leaned over to sit opposite Ji Yi'er, picked up the teapot and slowly poured tea for himself. Hai Lao poured tea and asked, "What about you? How do you feel when you see your own brother again after so many years?"

"I don't feel it!" Ji Yi'er replied calmly without the slightest consideration, there was no hesitation in her voice, as if she was saying something insignificant, "Since the day he left me, I have no such brother!"

"Hehe, you dare to come to me to look for me in broad daylight, aren't you afraid that it will arouse Lu Yifan's suspicion?" Hai Lao nodded his head with a smile, and then brought a bowl of hot tea to his lips, "Lu Yifan is not as good as Ji Yuan, he is an extremely difficult guy to deal with!"

"He just killed six northern border guards, and he probably can't think of anything else for a while!" Ji Yi'er said confidently, when she just secretly came out, it was when Lu Yifan had just killed the sixth northern border guard, so she didn't know that Xie Yun had returned, and he came back with news about her.

"Yes! Although Lu Yifan looks gentle and elegant, he is ruthless when he kills people. has such ruthless methods at a young age, old man, I really underestimated him before!" Although he didn't want to admit it, Hai Lao had to sincerely praise Lu Yifan's actions today.

"Mrs. Zhao didn't succeed in killing him in Night City, it seems that it wasn't all Lu Yifan's luck!" Ji Yi'er said with a sneer, Ji Yi'er was full of coldness at this moment, and she didn't show the restraint and obedience in front of Lu Yifan and Ji Yuan at all.

"If Lu Yifan is not removed, sooner or later it will be a disaster!" Hai Lao nodded and said, "But he is a stinky kid after all, so there is no need to involve too much energy in him!

"That's exactly what I'm here for!" Ji Yi'er nodded in response, then raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "I was just about to ask Hai Lao, why didn't you contact Chu Lingtian to do it?"

"This matter is urgent!" Hai Lao waved his hand and said, his face was unusually solemn, it seemed that it was not his intention that Chu Lingtian would not do it now, "Although Lan Chen has promised to help Lan Shixun in his great cause, in fact, he has always hesitated in his heart. Therefore, he has always been hesitant to order the mobilization of the Northern Xinjiang battalion to level the Frontier Guard Mansion! I have also persuaded him several times, but he has made all kinds of excuses to resign! I think he is not fully prepared to rebel with Lan Shixun!"

"This Lan Chen is really a gentleman who has more than enough success and more than defeat, his father Lan Shixun has already rebelled, could it be that he still wants to kill his relatives for the sake of leading the emperor?" Ji Yi'er reprimanded with disdain.

"That's not going to happen! Lan Chen is not very human, and his mind is not something that anyone can easily change, and I can only wait for him to figure it out slowly!" Hai Lao smiled helplessly, "After all, Lan Shixun has already personally given Chu Lingtian his life, unless Lan Chen personally gives the order, no one has the right to mobilize Chu Lingtian and the 100,000 army in his hands!"

"Isn't it even Hai Lao?"

"No!" Hai Lao could only laugh at Ji Yi'er's question, "Lan Shixun is extremely shrewd, he doesn't believe anyone except his two sons! He once ordered Chu Lingtian, even if he saw his own handwritten letter, he couldn't change this order, which is enough to show how cautious Lan Shixun is in doing things!"

"Alas!" Ji Yi'er sighed helplessly, "If that's the case, I'm afraid that someone will have to pay a terrible price for Lan Chen's indecision in the near future!"

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Hai Lao looked at Ji Yi'er in surprise, "Did you hear any news again?"

"Not bad!" Ji Yi'er nodded and agreed, "As far as I know, the Emperor Ling has already made his own choice between Xi Chen and Chu Lingtian!"

"Who did he choose?"

"Xi Chen!" Ji Yi'er said bluntly, "So now that the emperor has appointed Han Xiao, the protector of the country, to lead an army of 50,000 to attack day and night, and go straight to the northern frontier, I believe that it will be possible to reach the northern frontier in half a month." The purpose of his trip is to preside over the overall situation in Northern Xinjiang, first, to clamp down on Chu Lingtian's Northern Frontier camp, and secondly, to help Xi Chen kill the beast domain powerhouses who invaded the Holy Domain in one fell swoop!"

"Hiss!" As soon as Ji Yi'er said this, Hai Lao's eyes suddenly condensed, although he expected that the Emperor would eventually choose to believe in Xi Chen, but he never expected that he would make a decision so quickly, "In this way, even if we convince Lan Chen to give the order now, I'm afraid it won't be too late in time!"

"That's good!" Ji Yi'er nodded and said, "If Chu Lingtian fights Han Xiao too early, I'm afraid that the variables behind will be far beyond our imagination! And the most important thing is that once Chu Lingtian is exposed, Lan Shixun in Jinling City will definitely die!"

"No! This thing is absolutely impossible!" Hai Lao stood up abruptly and said with a resolute face, "Lan Shixun must not die!" After saying that, Hai Lao's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of ruthlessness, and then he repeated in a voice that seemed to be talking to himself, "At least he can't die now......

"I'm here to tell Hai Lao the news!" Ji Yi'er continued, "As for what to do next, please let Hai Lao decide after careful consideration!"

"I think I have to inform Madam Zhao to let the powerhouses of the Beast Domain hide for the time being!" Hai Lao nodded solemnly, "Han Xiao is not Xi Chen, and his army of 50,000 is far from being comparable to those northern border guards in the Frontier Guard Mansion. The No. 1 Martial General of the Sacred Domain is not in vain, the old man has already learned his methods many years ago!Han Xiao is definitely a difficult opponent!"

Hai Lao's words made Ji Yi'er's face a little ugly, and then the tent fell into silence. Hai Lao and Ji Yi'er didn't speak again, and the atmosphere in the tent was depressing and a little breathless for a while.

"Hai Lao, it's not early, I should go back!" Ji Yi'er suddenly stood up and owed a slight debt to Hai Lao, who was full of contemplation, "If there is any news outside, I will inform Hai Lao again, Lan Chen has Lao Hai Lao to worry a lot!"

Hearing Ji Yi'er's words, Hai Lao nodded casually. And Ji Yi'er took a deep look at Hai Lao, then reached out and pulled up the white veil draped over his shoulders to cover his face, and then quickly flashed out of Hai Lao's tent as soon as he was short.

Under the skillful cover of several guards, Ji Yi'er walked out from behind Hai Lao's tent, and did not alarm anyone during the process, even Lan Chen was unaware of it.

Ji Yi'er, who left the Lanchen camp, quickly swept towards Lu Yifan's camp, and the wilderness was lonely, only to see a white shadow flashing through the air like a ghost, and the dry grass on both sides of the road swayed violently, and when the wind blew, Qianying had already appeared a hundred meters away.

Finally, less than thirty meters away from Lu Yifan's camp, Ji Yi'er suddenly slowed down her pace, then took off her veil and tidied up her skirt a little, before she walked towards Lu Yifan's camp generously.

"Yi'er!"

However, just as Ji Yi'er was about to step into the camp, a light call mixed with complex emotions suddenly came out from behind a tent, and then before Ji Yi'er, who was panicked, came to his senses, he saw Lu Yifan, who was dressed in a white robe, slowly walking out from behind the tent, and just blocked in front of Ji Yi'er impartially.

Lu ...... Brother Lu ...... "Ji Yi'er didn't expect Lu Yifan's existence at all just now, so she was a little flustered when she was caught off guard, although she was trying to restrain her panic, but her words were still mixed with an unquenchable trembling, "Why are you here?"

"I already know!" Lu Yifan did not directly answer Ji Yi'er's question, but stared at Ji Yi'er with deep eyes, the feelings contained in his voice were extremely complicated, and he seemed to be slightly sad, but he did not reprimand.

"You...... What do you know?" Ji Yi'er's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and she looked back at Lu Yifan with a pair of frightened big eyes. At this moment, Ji Yi'er's expression was very similar to Han Ling'er, especially those big watery eyes, even Lu Yifan almost lost his mind.

"Yicheng, there is no rich man Sun at all!" Lu Yifan replied word by word, "Moreover, I also saw the most painful scene just now!"

"You ......" Ji Yi'er, who was exposed on the spot, was already trembling nervously like a sieve at this moment, "What did you see?"

"I ...... I saw that you had just come out of Eki's tent......"

......
