Zhu Mingyu had already taken Chen Tong and the others back to the Idler's Hall, and the subordinates of the Idler's Hall led by Lamei also came back. At noon, Zhu Mingyu hurriedly arranged for someone to cook.

Although Zhu Mingyu and Chen Tong have met three times, this time he always felt weird.

Last night, Chen Tong brought a wooden mask when he left the valley, and he never took it off. Even now that he has arrived at the Idler's Hall, Chen Tong doesn't seem to have any intention of taking it off.

The future mother-in-law has a somewhat strange temper, and most of the legends about her back then were "she slaughtered whoever she didn't agree with", so Zhu Mingyu didn't dare to ask about the mask.

Sitting in the lobby, Chen Tong quietly listened to Zhu Mingyu talk about what happened after returning from Chang'an.

"We only found out that she was in Xiangyang some time ago, and the third prince asked Jade and Amber to find her, and the two of them had just left for a few days."

Hearing that Li Fenglan ran away from home twice, Chen Tong didn't seem surprised, but there was a little worry and guilt in the eyes revealed in the mask.

"You say...... She met Liu Yanlong in Hangzhou, and when she came back, she became depressed?"

"Yes."

Chen Tong was silent for a long time: "Lan girl, has she ever been in contact with Li Fengyao? Or, did Li Fengyao tell her anything?"

Zhu Mingyu thought for a while: "They met, and after listening to Jadeite, there was basically no dialogue between the two."

"What about Li Yuzhuo?"

Zhu Mingyu shook his head: "When Li Fenglan arrived in Yangzhou, Aunt Yuzhuo had already left."

Chen Tong suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, "Junhao!"

Not long after, Xiao Junhao, who heard the shout, ran in: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Chen Tong instructed, "You take everyone back to the valley in the afternoon, and if the young people don't want to go back, let them go to Xiaohu's mill to help." You go back and tell Brother Xiao that I won't be back to the valley for a while."

Xiao Junhao was puzzled, "Where are you going?"

Chen Tong was silent for a while: "You tell Brother Xiao, just say that Lan Yatou knows, he will understand."

"Okay, I see."

After speaking, Xiao Junhao exited the lobby.

Zhu Mingyu hurriedly asked, "Aunt Zhou, where are you going?"

Chen Tong picked up his sword: "Do what I have to do. Mingyu, during the time they are away, the idler's hall will work for you."

"Where are you, that's what I should be."

Chen Tong nodded and walked towards the door, but Zhu Mingyu hurriedly stopped: "Aunt Zhou, it's noon, let's leave after eating."

"No," Chen Tong shook his head, and suddenly changed his words, "I thought that there would be an understanding of these things at the end of the year, but it seems that it will not be finished in half a year...... Mingyu, are you urging a lot at home?"

Zhu Mingyu was a little embarrassed: "It's still ...... Okay."

"When Amber returns, you can take some time to get married."

Zhu Mingyu was overjoyed, but then calmed down: "It's better to wait for stability, the current situation is more complicated."

Chen Tong nodded again: "Okay, it depends on your mood...... Don't send it away, go and take care of your wounded seniors."

"Aunt Zhou, you go slowly."

When Chen Tong left, Zhu Mingyu stood at the gate, full of doubts: Li Fenglan knows? Know what?

…

After mid-September, it suddenly became cold.

Li Fenglan used to think that Xiangyang was a warm place, but who knew that her hands were a little frozen in September. Later, Chen Ziyang told her that Xiangyang had never been so cold before, and the temperature in September in previous years was pleasant, and it was not hot if she wore too much, and it was not cold if she wore less, and she never thought it would be so cold this year.

In previous years, the family only began to burn firewood for heating in December, and this year they had to buy firewood in September.

Li Fenglan always thought that she was a more frost-resistant type, but this late autumn in Xiangyang made her choke enough. The low temperature and humidity infected Li Fenglan, who had not been sick for more than ten years, with a wind chill.

At this moment, she was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, and kept wiping

Clearing his nose and sneezing from time to time.

Chu Jiao'er didn't know where to buy her a small stove, which happened to be placed in the house to keep warm.

Chen Ziyang was adding firewood to the stove, and Chu Jiao'er brought a bowl of boiled soup to Li Fenglan.

"Sister Lan, drink the medicine."

Li Fenglan took the medicine bowl and said weakly, "Does Xiangyang hate me?"

Chen Ziyang didn't know why, "What are you talking about? Why does Xiangyang hate you?"

"Don't hate why I'm so cold...... Ahh

Chu Jiao'er said, "The weather has been abnormal in the past two years, and it was still very hot at this time last year."

Li Fenglan was helpless, took a sip of medicine, and asked, "Tell me, how has Baiyun Village been recently?"

Chen Ziyang replied, "It's nothing, an elder of the Lumen Sect went there once, and he chatted with that Han Lu, and I heard that the conversation was very unhappy."

Li Fenglan suddenly had a spirit: "You're going to fight?"

"I've been beaten several times...... However, Han Lu is quite righteous, and he will never fight in a group if he can solve a problem alone."

"Heads-up?"

"Yes, there have been a few times when a decent family has gone up the mountain to besiege and entangled the number one hundred and ten. After hearing about Sanwan Water Village, the nest moved, the number of people was relatively flat, and I don't know how many people will die when it really fights. Later, Han Lu proposed that there be a competition. It was originally one-on-one, but later it evolved into a wheel battle, and Han Lu won one against three. But I heard that he was not lightly injured. As a result, just a few days later, decent people came up again, still heads-up. However, this time, the opponent has the Lumen Sect's 'Little Copper Hammer Yang Gui, and he is the third in the land character of the year."

Li Fenglan asked, "And then?"

"It stands to reason that Han Lu has defeated the master of Tianzi, and it should be easy to play a master of earth characters. But he didn't get better, and he won very badly. Those decent people felt that it was unkind to do this, and they didn't go up the mountain to make trouble again during this time."

Li Fenglan nodded, thoughtful: "In this way, this person is indeed a decent person...... Then why should decent people bother me?"

Chen Ziyang said disdainfully: "Sister Lan, you say, is there a possibility that you are the biggest villain in the rivers and lakes now?"

Li Fenglan rolled her eyes: "How can there be real black and white in this world? …… Are there any other rumors on the rivers and lakes?"

Chen Ziyang and Chu Jiao'er glanced at each other, and Chu Jiao'er whispered, "Sister Lan, you really have nothing to do with Chao Lan Gu and the Luoyang Bai family, right?"

Li Fenglan shook her head: "It's okay...... Unless they come and invite me personally."

Chu Jiao'er sighed: "It seems that it is still related...... Something happened to the Bai family in Luoyang."

Li Fenglan came to the spirit again: "Tell me."

"Half a month ago, Yu Xiaozhu raided the Bai family, and I heard that both sides suffered heavy casualties."

"How many people have Nightfeather Kozuki gone?"

"Like...... There were more than 300 people."

Li Fenglan was shocked: "More than 300 people? How can there be so many??"

Chu Jiao'er nodded and said, "But there are indeed so many, I heard that Chao Langu has sent people out to support, even your mother...... Auntie, she came out herself."

Li Fenglan hurriedly asked, "What is the result?"

Chu Jiao'er shook her head: "I don't know, I just know that both sides suffered heavy casualties."

Li Fenglan suddenly became anxious, and muttered to herself, "No, how could Yeyu Xiaozhu come out with so many people at once? Could it be ...... Did you act with me before? Acting?"

She closed her eyes and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly had a terrifying idea in her mind: If these were really a play performed by Chen Zi, it would be terrible. Of course, this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that Chen Zidu and Bai Shuyu played it for her together!

Chen Zi is determined to seek stability and understands the laws of the rivers and lakes, it is impossible for the killer organization to be dominant, and if one is dominant, it will be exterminated sooner or later. So he acted in the drama of being besieged a few years ago, and successfully reduced the hatred of the Jianghu people towards Night Feather Xiaozhu. Now, if it weren't for Li Fenglan and the others coming out of the valley, the patience of the Jianghu people for Ye Yu Xiaozhu would have reached the extreme. So, he needs

Another play, this time the drama can't be the same as a few years ago, you have to fight a few real battles, you have to see blood, so that no one will doubt it.

In a sense, Bai Shuyu is also seeking stability, not only to want the rise of the Bai family, but also to not want the rise of the Bai family to attract envy. If the rise of the Bai family is accompanied by a huge number of casualties, this can not only let the people of the rivers and lakes see the strength of the Bai family, but also not be too jealous, killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, the two forces fight one, no, two or three games, so that the Jianghu people think that they have almost exhausted their strength.

If there is one or two victims in between, it would be even better.

At present, the two victims are Chaolan Valley and the Li family.

Li Fenglan shook her head vigorously, she didn't know if what she was thinking was true, maybe it was the influence of the wind and cold, which made her think a little far.

…

In Luzhou, Chen Zidu sat in the courtyard and played with four chess pieces, two black and two white.

He placed two white pieces on the chessboard, lit one of them and smiled and said, "This, goblin, should be able to think of it. And this ......."

He nodded to another white seed: "It's a little sluggish, but I can think of it." Why bother winning? A draw is also an option."

…

After resting for a period of time, the Bai family seems to have recovered as before, but outsiders know that the current Bai family has suffered a lot of vitality.

Baihualou was destroyed, and countless dead and injured were killed, and these two vacancies could not be filled in a short period of time. Moreover, some of the Bai family's hidden piles outside have also lost contact in recent days, and they are thought to have been pulled out.

But Bai Shuyu, the family military advisor, did not feel depressed, and even looked like he was winning.

Standing in front of the ruins of the White Pagoda that was on fire again, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Chen Ling'er walked up behind him and asked, "Third Prince, you don't seem to care much about the attack these days?"

Bai Shuyu replied, "I'm very concerned, but well, I didn't understand a little bit before, but now I understand."

"What?"

"This sneak attack launched by Chen Zidu, I understand that he wants to play a very real scene with me, and if I make the slightest mistake, he will kill me, obviously, I succeeded. But right......" Bai Shuyu pointed to the White Tower, "Why?"

Chen Ling'er seemed to understand: "Since you want to act, even if it is real, you have to stop it...... The ruins of the White Pagoda are the hideouts you prepared for the eldest lady and the second son, here is the bottom line, once something goes wrong, this drama is not real but also true. But they still burned the White Tower."

Bai Shuyu nodded: "That's right, so this Mr. Chen pretends to be strategizing all day long, but in fact, not everything can be considered exhaustive. For example, the current Night Feather Xiaozhu is a little out of his control, at least there are people who don't have the same heart as him. According to the information from all sides some time ago, I guess...... This person who doesn't deal with him should be surnamed Yuan."

"Does the Yuan family have such strength?"

"The Yuan family has such financial resources," Bai Shuyu stretched, "But I'm just guessing, has Jade come back with news recently?"

"Yes, the two sisters are going to stay in Nanyang for a while."

"Why?"

"There are so many killers of Night Feather Xiaozhu in Nanyang, but the dark stakes over there haven't noticed it, I think these people are not very reliable. I told the two sisters to stop there first, and when I found out what was going on, I might have to trouble the sisters if I needed to stop talking."

Bai Shuyu was noncommittal: "It's okay, but if it's too dangerous, it's better not to let them come."

Chen Ling'er smiled, "That's nature."
