Chapter 401: The Grand Administrator of the Murong Family
"Woman!?"
Shangguan Jinghong seemed to have suffered some kind of impact on his brain for a while, fell into a brief pause, and recalled all the pictures after seeing Murong Yunxiu.
Throat, eyes, manners, bearing, tone of voice......
No matter how Shangguan Jinghong looks at it, the other party should be a man.
As a former top Qing man, Shangguan Jinghong has seen countless men, and he has also heard other sisters in Qinglou talk about all kinds of men.
Even if there are many of them with strange personalities, as a man, but born with a woman's heart, they also like to pretend to be a woman when they dress up, with a little whitewashing, their faces are beautiful, and they look like a natural and national beauty, with a smile and a smile, not losing to Shangguan Jinghong and other Qing people.
But even if it is such a person, Shangguan Jinghong is completely sure that he can distinguish between men and women.
But in the face of Murong Yunxiu, she felt confused for the first time, and even wondered if Lu Wu's predecessor was joking.
It's just that now Lu Wu has already returned to the fairy sword Chang'an to raise the demon soul with the innate sword temperature, and she can't bother anymore, so she can only look at Huai Zhi'an for help.
Sensing Shangguan Jinghong's eyes for help, Huai Zhi'an nodded helplessly and admitted that what Lu Wu said was true.
Since seeing the other party for the first time, Huai Zhi'an has noticed that the other party has given him a very strange and conflicting feeling.
With sword intent, there have always been signs of Dao operation on the other party's body, but only with the naked eye, or ordinary perception to probe, there is not the slightest trace of Dao on the other party's body.
And in Huai Zhi'an's eyes, the existence of the other party itself is like the shadow of the moon in the water, the fog in the mountains and forests, full of illusion and unreality.
Murong Yunxiu itself seemed to be shrouded in an invisible bubble.
Curious, Huai Zhi'an unknowingly quietly "stabbed" into the bubble with sword intent, wanting to find out, but he didn't dare to go too deep, after all, if it was discovered, it would be a little embarrassing.
He is dignified Fuyun Sword Immortal, he did this kind of thing when they met for the first time, and the impact on it is not very good, how can he reopen the mountain gate of the Lishan Sword Sect in the future.
However, although he only went in a little bit, Huai Zhi'an vaguely saw a stunning side face and smelled a very strong aroma.
Since that time, Huai Zhi'an has suspected that this Murong Yunxiu is not a woman?
It's just that even he wasn't 100% sure, so he asked Lu Wu, who was also present at the time.
If he was the only one, he might be wrong, but if even Lu Wu understood it, then it would be right.
The body of a woman turned into a man's body with Taoism, and even deceived the entire Tianhai County.
Thinking that Murong Yunxiu has been in charge of the Murong family for so long, and still has not really succeeded to the position of head of the family, it is difficult for Huai Zhi'an not to combine these two points.
There is no strange woman in this world who is the emperor as a woman, so the succession of a woman to the head of the family, even in this world, is quite explosive.
"Engong, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Tiancheng and An Ran listened to Huai Zhi'an with blank expressions, and Shangguan Jinghong and that Lu Wu senior said riddles that they couldn't understand at all, and they were curious but didn't dare to ask more.
Huai Zhi'an came back to his senses, glanced at Shangguan Jinghong, and invariably fell on An Ran.
The eyes of the two of them burst into light, and they seemed to have some strange thoughts.
Sensing the gaze of the two, An Ran clenched his fists and gathered in front of him, a little scared.
"Don't panic, there's just something I'm curious about and want to ask." Huai Zhian waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Curious?"
Enron was puzzled.
Huai Zhi'an winked at Shangguan Jinghong and motioned for Shangguan Jinghong to ask.
Shangguan Jinghong was helpless, so he could only take two steps forward, came to An Ran's side, bent over and whispered something.
Zhao Tiancheng looked loveless.
Everyone was obviously standing so close to each other a few steps apart, but why did he feel so far away from each other?
Why don't I go?
"Ahh
As soon as he heard Shangguan Jinghong say two words, An Ran's body suddenly tensed, and he shouted involuntarily.
But then An Ran seemed to realize something, grabbed the dress with both hands, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Huai Zhi'an.
Shangguan Jinghong quietly looked at An Ran, who had such a big reaction, a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes, and then looked at Huai Zhi'an.
Huai Zhi'an touched his chin and understood in his heart.
It seems that Enron has known about this for a long time......
The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
It's just that Zhao Tiancheng understood the atmosphere this time, and coughed dryly: "What's that...... There are still some things in the dart game that have not been counted, you talk, I'll get busy first! ”
After speaking, Zhao Tiancheng turned around and walked out of the courtyard quickly and disappeared.
After noticing that Zhao Tiancheng was leaving and there were no other eavesdroppers around, Huai Zhian withdrew his gaze and looked at An Ran.
"You already knew about it?"
Hearing this, An Ran's body trembled slightly, but he didn't speak, just his face was full of confusion.
Women know women best, and seeing this scene, Shangguan Jinghong guessed: "You promised her to keep a secret for her?" Or is it an agreement between the two of you? ”
An Ran hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
This matter is indeed a secret between her and Murong Yunxiu, and no one has found out for so many years, so she never thought that Huai Zhian and Shangguan Jinghong would find out when they only saw Murong Yunxiu.
"Don't worry, we don't intend to be unfavorable to Murong Yunxiu, we just said that in order to solve the matter of the Murong family, the information about Murong Yunxiu's true identity should be able to play a vital role." Shangguan Jinghong explained.
After An Ran hesitated, he still shook his head.
"I understand your agreement to keep it a secret......," Huai Zhi'an pointed to his eyes. But don't underestimate me too much, since the first time we met, I saw through her true identity, this secret has now been discovered by us, it shouldn't be a secret, right? ”
"It's not a secret anymore, so there's no need to keep it secret, right?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Huai Zhi'an's words, An Ran raised his head, feeling that something was a little strange, and he felt that it seemed to make sense.
Shangguan Jinghong quietly glared at Huai Zhi'an, you are obviously bullying An Ran's girl, and her head is not turning very quickly.
Huai Zhi'an blinked, pretending not to see it.
A relatively "stupid" person like Enron is actually the easiest to admit death, if you don't use some small means, the other party will really keep it a secret, even if they have the grace to save their lives, they won't say anything.
An Ran hesitated again and again, and then slowly spoke: "I did know about this a long time ago......"
"How early?" Huai Zhian said curiously.
"Hmm......" An Ran thought for a moment. It should be more than ten years ago, when I was still in Tianhai City, I had a good relationship with the Murong sisters and brothers at that time, but at that time I always thought they were brothers, and I didn't know Murong Yunxiu's true identity. ”
"Later, once we went out to play, and accidentally got dirty, and when I came back, I was going to clean it, but I accidentally found that Murong Jinlu was walking alone, but Murong Yunxiu didn't follow, so I looked for her everywhere out of curiosity, and then accidentally found Murong Yunxiu who had changed back to her true face in a separate courtyard hot spring."
"It was then that she made an agreement with me to keep her secret."
Huai Zhi'an said to himself: "More than ten years ago? ”
This time is similar to what Huai Zhi'an thought, only from more than ten years ago, even when Murong Yunxiu first appeared in front of everyone in Tianhai County, he was a man, so that in more than ten years, until now, no one has doubted Murong Yunxiu's true gender.
The old head of the Murong family must have known about this, after all, it was his own daughter, and even so, he still chose to delegate power and handed over the Murong family to Murong Yunxiu, but I don't know if it was intentional or Murong Yunxiu's handiwork.
As for Murong Jinlan, as Murong Yunxiu's younger brother, maybe he also knew about it, but as for the rest of the Murong family, it was difficult for Huai Zhi'an to speculate who else would know.
"Wait a minute, in other words, you are the only outsider who knows Murong Yunxiu's true identity before we discover the truth?" Shangguan Jinghong suddenly spoke, frowned at An Ran, and asked
"I guess so." Enron nodded. "That's why my relationship with Murong Yunxiu has always been good over the years."
Shangguan Jinghong glanced at Huai Zhi'an.
Huai Zhi was relieved, and the prison official was shocked and knew why the other party asked so.
Since Murong Yunxiu is so deliberately concealing his true identity, is it possible that in fact, the one who really wants to kill An Ran is actually Murong Yunxiu himself?
When she was a child, Murong Yunxiu was still a little girl, she may not be so ruthless and decisive, so she chose to make an agreement with An Ran and let An Ran keep it a secret.
But now Murong Yunxiu is not the little girl she was at the beginning, now she is in charge of the entire Murong family, killing countless opponents with thunderous means, annexing countless forces in Tianhai County, and making Murong Yun prosper again.
Is it really possible for such a person to let the uncertain factor of Enron live?
Although Enron had an agreement with him to keep secrets, who can guarantee that Enron would not leak his mouth in unexpected circumstances.
For example, now...... Even if Huai Zhi'an and Shangguan Jinghong had no ill intentions at all.
The previous An Ran was far away in the hinterland of the Immortal Dynasty, and Murong Yunxiu might not have a chance to start, but now An Ran has returned to Tianhai County, and even lived in Murong's house.
This is a good opportunity to get rid of the uncertainty of Enron!
"But if it's Murong Yunxiu...... " Shangguan Jinghong looked at Huai Zhi'an, his eyes hinting.
As Huai Zhi'an said before, if the person who designed all this was Murong Yunxiu, then it would be impossible for An Ran to walk out of Murong House alive.
Huai Zhi'an pondered for a moment.
He actually had an idea, what if Murong Yunxiu deliberately let go of An Ran and Zhao Tiancheng, and then lured him to "take the bait"?
After that, you can smoothly investigate the "mastermind behind the scenes", and then borrow his hand to get rid of that person.
With Murong Yunxiu's IQ, he could blame others for this matter, so that he would not have the slightest suspicion.
"But ......," Huai Zhi'an recalled the other party's eyes when Murong Yunxiu and An Ran met before.
Although the other party covered it up very well, in front of everyone, it was still the head of the Murong family who was high up, his joy and anger were invisible, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion on his face, but Huai Zhi'an was still keenly aware of a trace of happiness and joy that flashed in the other party's eyes after seeing An Ran alive.
With such a look, Murong Yunxiu seemed to really regard An Ran as a true friend.
After thinking about it, Huai Zhian still didn't tell Enron about his guess.
After all, this is just his speculation, An Ran's somewhat "stupid" character, it is better to leave more innocence, and Huai Zhian doesn't want Murong Yunxiu to plan all this.
"How are you? What are you doing in my Zhao's dart game! ”
Just as Huai Zhi'an was thinking, Zhao Tiancheng's angry shouts came from the direction of the door.
-----------------
On the other side, the Murong Mansion, with exquisite gardens, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and at a glance, there are different landscapes.
"The head of the house, the chief manager is back."
With a grim expression, Duan Chu, dressed in black, quietly appeared in the courtyard pavilion, clasped his hands into fists, and reported to the thin figure of the sandalwood bird.
After reading half of the classics, Murong Yunxiu's face was revealed, and a pair of dark and deep eyes fell on Duan Chu.

"So the old guy is coming back?"
If Murong Yunxiu is not mistaken, Hui Haiguang, the head of the Murong family, should still be outside to negotiate business now, and it will take at least two or three days to return to Tianhai County.
"There was an accident, the batch of refined iron ore that you named the chief manager to purchase, this year's output seems to be extraordinarily large, so the chief manager didn't spend much effort to purchase all of them, and now it should be in ...... immediately."
Duan Chu just wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly moved, and he saw Murong Yunxiu looking behind him.
Duan Chu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly turned around, sure enough, a burly old man with a hooked nose who was wearing a brocade and purple robe, with long eyebrows and a hooked nose, drooped the corners of his eyes, and a crooked nose was standing not far behind him, looking at Murong Yunxiu with a cold expression.
It is the status of the Murong family, second only to the head of the family, and Hui Haiguang, the general manager who has served the Murong family for nearly a hundred years.
Seeing the appearance of the other party, Duan Chu's heart set off an earth-shattering wave, now he has been promoted to the peak of the Dragon Gate Realm under the tilt of the family master's resources, but even so, he didn't notice when the other party appeared.
That is, if the other party wants to kill him, he can't even react.
Hui Haiguang didn't speak, but just stood there quietly, his eyes were like a thousand pounds, and a strong sense of oppression fell on Duan Chu's heart.
Duan Chu gritted his teeth and tried his best to withstand this pressure like a mountain!
He knew that the other party wanted him to make a move to embarrass the head of the family.
"You go down first." Murong Yunxiu said casually, like a soft spring breeze, instantly blowing away the mountain that shrouded Duan Chu's heart.
Duan Chu gasped, answered, and left directly.
After Duan Chu left, Murong Yunxiu then set his eyes on Hui Haiguang and chuckled:
"Manager Hui, it's been hard all the way!"
And Hui Haiguang walked into the pavilion with his hands behind his back, condescending, looking down at Murong Yunxiu, and smiled, showing arrogance.
"What's so hard about this, everything the old man does is for the Murong family."
Murong Yunxiu narrowed her eyes.
