West Continent, Yunjing City.

Jiang Ruyan was walking on the street wearing a thick winter coat, her cheeks were slightly red under the cold wind, and she looked particularly moving against the background of the white furry collar.

But her face was not very pretty, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

Her steps were fast, and she kept wrapping her coat tightly, as if the temperature around her was getting colder, and even if she walked in the warm sunlight at this time, she couldn't dispel a trace of chill.

After a while, she crossed the bustling street and came to an ordinary three-story small teahouse.

In the whole teahouse, there is no half of a figure on the first floor to the second floor, and it is clear that there is a rolling crowd outside the door, but it seems to be another deserted world.

Xiao Er took Jiang Ruyan to the third floor, lifted the curtain, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, please come in." ”

Jiang Ruyan nodded lightly and walked in.

The long square table, the faint fragrance of tea, the fluttering light curtains, and the bustling Yunjing City outside the railing, but she looked at all this, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she didn't have the arrogance of controlling everything when she was in the drunken Huan Building.

Because what is important in this room is not the elegant landscape, let alone the street that can be seen, but the people sitting at the table.

"The first master of Hedong Province and the president of the Mercenary Association, Wen Bin. ”

m.xbiqugela.

.jsshcxx. "The eldest son of the Minister of State, Ruwang. ”

"Generalissimo of the Xichuan Water Division, Ying Hongzhuo. ”

“...... King of Yunlin. ”

Jiang Ruyan nodded to everyone at the table, silently reciting their names in his heart. They also have a common identity, that is, the giants of the Western Continent Polymath Society.

These people are all figures with heads and faces in the entire Shuo Dynasty, and they all have the life and death of countless people in their hands, in contrast, Jiang Ruyan, who has slowly climbed from a woman in a Qinglou to today's point, even if he is already the boss of one of the largest Qinglou in Yunjing City, even if he is one of the giants of the Polymath Society, he is just an ant.

These people here, even if they lose the power in the Polymath Society, they are still the most powerful people in the world, but if Jiang Ruyan loses the power in the Erudition Society, she will lose everything.

After saying hello, she sat down gently.

King Yunlin stretched out a finger and tapped lightly on the table, and said in a flat tone: "There is still a strict selection, and it is all here...... But this guy probably won't be able to come, there is such a big thing in the Yan family, he hasn't moved, no matter about him, let's start. ”

This is the annual gathering of the Western Continent Polymath Society.

The Yunlin King, who had the highest status among them, smiled with a reserved and noble smile: "This year, it is another dull year. ”

Flat fart!

Everyone here smiled and drank tea, but they all scolded in their hearts.

It's rare that a year has been as messy as this year!

Since last winter, there was a burning sea flying whale on the southern continent, and then it was killed by a person named Qi Wanli, and after a quiet time, the Martial God Temple suddenly issued an "invitation" to Qi Wanli, which made everyone who engaged in intelligence nervous, and I don't know if it was a precursor to a major event.

Immediately afterwards, rumors about demon beasts appeared in Xichuan Province, and not long after, Gong Changfeng, a famous master in Xichuan Province and the messenger of the abyss, disappeared so inexplicably, and what was even more terrifying was that before he disappeared, Dongfang Qionghan, the eldest disciple of Xingchen Tower, died!

Everyone knows what kind of old pervert Fan Xing, the owner of the Xingchen Tower, is, in terms of strength, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people in the world who can discuss the level with him; in terms of power, after the death of Dongfang Qionghan, although there is a lack of seventh-order masters in the Xingchen Tower, there are many fourth-order to fifth-order masters, all over the entire Western Continent, and there are their disciples everywhere. At that time, everyone was afraid that Fan Xing would be angry and cause a storm.

If that old pervert is really angry, even if it is the royal family of the Shuo Dynasty, they will bow their heads to him.

Thankfully, none of this happened.

However, regarding the matter of "who killed Dongfang Qionghan", the various intelligence agencies were also so busy that they couldn't come up with a little bit of accurate evidence, and I heard that Xingchenlou also sent their own disciples to investigate, and even invited Zhao Yue, the eldest disciple of Li Chengkong of the Hanging Pavilion, but in the end, no news came out.

After that, there was the Yan family incident in the capital.

This is the real major event of the Shuo Dynasty, the Yan family is a big family, because there is a queen in the main family, her brothers naturally no longer hold any official positions in order to avoid suspicion, but you must know that the Yan family still has countless branches, all over the country, and controls many joints of this state machine.

And such a huge family changed hands overnight!

The huge scandal, the second brother of the Yan family personally sent the fifth brother Yan Kai to prison, the fourth sister of the Yan family, Yan Zhiyi, was the head of the family, and the queen failed to react effectively from beginning to end......

This incident was so weird that many people tried to send someone to infiltrate Yan's house to find out, but in the end, all those people went and never returned.

"I don't know if you have found anything useful in this matter?"

Lu Wang, the eldest son of the Minister of State, asked with an eyebrow.

Wen Bin, the president of the Mercenary Association, was an old man, and he smiled: "The old man is in Hedong Province, thousands of miles away from Yunjing City, where can I find something." ”

Old fox!

Everyone cursed.

Jiang Ruyan didn't dare to speak, among these people, she was the only one who really knew what was going on, you know, Yan Zhiyi had lived on her territory for a long time!

"Ruyan, what do you think?" asked Ying Hongzhuo, the generalissimo of the Xichuan Naval Division.

&nwhhryl.bsp; Jiang Ruyan's heart jumped, and he smiled forcefully: "You adults have found nothing, what useful information can I have about a little woman?"

"Not necessarily. ”

Lu Wang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Your drunken Huanlou has guests coming and going every day, as the proprietress of the proprietress you don't deal with guests less, right? Those people, don't they stop talking at some point? You should always hear some useful news, right?"

is so blatantly frivolous, if it were an ordinary person, he might have been dismantled by now.

But now, Jiang Ruyan could only suppress the evil qi that he was trying to drill out between his eyebrows, and chuckled: "Master Lu said that he was joking, there are no big guests like you in my drunken Huan Building. ”

It's a prickly statement, but the people here don't pay much attention.

At this time, King Yunlin suddenly said, "This king has gained something. ”

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at him.

King Yunlin casually played with the empty teacup between his fingers and said, "Red snow." ”

Jiang Ruyan's pupils froze, but the others were puzzled and asked, "Lord Wang, what does this mean?"

King Yunlin smiled and said to Jiang Ruyan, "Ruyan, your expression seems to be surprised?

Seeing the gazes of everyone at the table, Jiang Ruyan seemed to be on the edge of a cliff.

"I shouldn't have casually promised that Bai Yao in the first place!

After scolding in her heart, her mind flickered, but in the blink of an eye, she said solemnly: "Lord Wang, I know the name you said. She was a woman in a mask, and she had come to my Zuihuan Building, and at that time I wondered what a woman was doing in the Green Building, but I didn't expect her to try to persuade me to 'join her'. ”

"Oh, join her?" King Yunlin smiled, "What are you doing with her?"

"I don't know. ”

Jiang Ruyan looked ashamed: "I have to deal with so many things every day, and I don't take her seriously at all, I just think that she is a fool, and I blew her away without saying a word." I knew she was an important person, so I had to talk to her for a few words. ”

After King Yunlin looked at her deeply, he turned his face to the people at the table and said, "Indeed, this king's subordinates have also seen that Hongxue once entered and exited the Zuihuan Building, so they paid attention to her, a woman, what are you doing in the Qinglou......?"

Hearing this, everyone was curious to know what was interesting, but Jiang Ruyan's heart was pounding and beating more and more fiercely.

"He's spying on my drunken Huanlou! and I don't know!"

She suppressed her uneasiness and listened.

"Hongxue is a woman's name, just like Ruyan said, she is a woman wearing a mask, as if no one knows her identity. She seems to have appeared out of thin air, and her whereabouts are erratic and difficult to grasp. ”

&nb.;

"But...... This king later tried to find a way to install the people in Yan Lao's second-hand middle, but he reported that he was in Yan's family...... Met her at least three times. ”

Hearing the news, the eyes of everyone present lit up.

Lu Wang asked excitedly: "Is this person the key person in the Yan family?"

"Even if it's not, it's not far off. Wen Bin said lightly: "A person who has no record in the past, appearing in this critical period, it is impossible to get away with suspicion." ”

At this time, Ying Hongzhuo said: "Ben Shuai thinks that this Hongxue is most likely an errand runner. Above her, there should be someone behind the scenes. ”

King Yunlin nodded and said, "Marshal Ying's opinion is the same as that of this king. This change in the Yan family is very strange, the head of the family turned out to be the fool Fourth Miss before, although the current news says that she was pretending to be stupid at the time, but this king thinks that she is still a puppet now, and there is someone else who controls the Yan family. ”

"Could it be that Pan Darong?" Lu Wang asked thoughtfully.

Everyone looked at each other a few times, their eyes full of uncertainty.

At this time, King Yunlin shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Pan Darong is a son-in-law who has no skills. After Yan Zhiyi became the head of the family, she also attended several important drinking and tea parties, all with her newlywed, but after contact...... Gee. ”

Lu Wang also smiled dryly: "The prince is right, no matter how you look at Pan Darong, he is a straw bag, and it is useless." ”

Jiang Ruyan heard them discussing that Pan Darong was a straw bag, so she couldn't help but smile and asked, "A few adults, do you think we should start with Hongxue, or that straw bag Pan Darong?"

There was a brief silence.

After a while, Wen Bin said lightly: "The old man thinks that he should choose Hongxue." ”

"If this person is the top henchman of the person behind the scenes, he must know most things, although it may be difficult to catch her, but the benefits are huge. ”

In contrast, Pan Darong may be easy to get, but the information that can be learned from him may be limited, and more importantly, it is very likely to startle the snake. ”

"The change of the Yan family is a signal, indicating that someone is eyeing the big forces in the capital, and may even be eyeing the Polymath, we can't be careless, we must be careful, if we don't make a move, we have to hit it with one blow!"
