Chapter 419: Preparation

Tianyan left, and walked very simply.

She hadn't even looked back at him before leaving.

The clear incense in the room is still disturbing, and the people in front of him are gone, but the tea is not cold.

Staring at the steaming porcelain cup in front of him, the emotions in Xu Yuan's heart finally turned into a light sigh:

"It's exactly the same as I remember."

Tianyan's decisiveness in leaving did not exceed Xu Yuan's expectations.

Twenty years of illusion,

For him, Tianyan has changed a lot.

She learned to care, she learned to be gentle, she learned how to nourish his emotions like a spring when he was down.

But this does not mean that Tianyan is no longer the proud girl she was at the beginning.

Her arrogance, her sharpness, her dazzling talent for stabbing others remains.

It's just that these things are hidden in the depths of her heart by her in exchange for his love.

The fragments of memories of the illusion came to his heart bit by bit, and Xu Yuan unconsciously reached out and stroked the warm porcelain cup in front of him.

What Tianyan has always wanted is actually very simple.

She hoped that he would take his heart away, that he would be alone with her.

Even if it's bland, even if it's just in a country thatched house.

Drinking all the tea she had left in the porcelain cup, Xu Yuan slowly stood up on his knees.

Tianyan's request is not excessive, and even a little humble.

But it's a pity

He couldn't do it,

At least, not now.

The ghostly spiritual vision swept through every corner of the chamber again, and it was already completely impossible to sense the breath of Tianyan.

Taking out a belt at random, he tied up the long hair scattered at the back of his head, Xu Yuan restrained the complicated feelings spreading in his chest, and silently walked in the direction of the door of the wing.

He had to inform Lou Ji now.

According to the habit of Tianyan in the illusion,

Every time he is wronged and sadly leaves, Tianyan will not go too far.

She would always linger around him, and then one morning, or one night, or some time when she was cooking, suddenly returned to him with her beautiful little face.

Wait for him to coax her a few words, and then go together

But this is not what Xu Yuan wants to see now, so he has to ask Lou Ji to get rid of Tianyan completely.

Only by doing this, in the next matter, Tianyan will not face a dilemma.

After all

The people of the Heavenly Pavilion were already preparing to assassinate him.

"Squeak-"

As soon as the door opened, Xu Yuan's footsteps were instantaneous.

There was a woman standing in the hallway outside.

The plain white loose skirt is placed on the delicate body, and the chest is full of material and is held up high, and the collarbone snow muscle is revealed.

Seeing Xu Yuan come out, the woman immediately bowed:

"Childe."

Xu Yuan glanced at the other party, and was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the woman for the time being, glanced at the other party, and asked casually:

"Mu Xi, where is Lou Ji?"

Hearing this, Bai Muxi's eyes flashed with a different color, and he quickly glanced towards the door, and after not finding the figure of the holy woman, he immediately replied:

"Back to Gongzi, Mr. Lou just went to the bottom of the attic."

Underlying?

Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and Jing Xuelan, who had been hit by an unknown epidemic, flashed in his mind.

It seems that Lou Ji and Luo Xiran are probably going to tinker with that guinea pig again.

Thinking in his heart, Xu Yuan looked at Xiaobai in front of him and asked in a low voice:

"I know, Mu Xi, what are you waiting for me here?"

Bai Muxi's eyes flickered for a moment, lowered his head, and said in a low voice:

"Just now I sensed that the Holy Maiden had left, so. So let's take a look at you, childe. ”

"Are you worried about me?"

“.. Well. ”

"Heh~"

Xu Yuan looked at Xiaobai, who was hanging her head in front of her, and rubbed her head, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, it's just a little contradiction, you can go back to your room and practice."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Bai Muxi grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Xiao Bai quietly raised his eyes and glanced at his expression, and asked tentatively:

"Childe. Do you need Mu Xi to comfort the Holy Maiden? ”

“.”

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was relieved, and his mood was slightly better.

It would be nice if Tianyan Li Qingyan and Da Bingtuozi were so sensible with Xiaobai.

With Xiaobai's intelligence, he will never do something stupid at this time, if it is comfort, it must be comfort.

If it is an ordinary situation, letting Xiaobai comfort Tianyan Xing now may really have a good effect.

But for now. Forget it.

"No, you continue to go back to the room to cultivate, and strive to practice the Dao Yun as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Bai Muxi saw that Xu Yuan was in a bad mood, and saluted again, and said respectfully: "Mu Xi.. I will not let my son down. ”

With that, she stood motionless and respectfully in place, watching Childe's figure disappear around the corner of the corridor.

What she wanted to do had been achieved.

She knew that she couldn't compare to others in Childe's heart, so she needed to work more on these details.

Accumulate a lot, maybe one day you can let Childe's eyes stay on her a little more.

Separated from Bai Muxi, Xu Yuan went straight to the secret room on the ground floor of Xuanying Attic to find Lou Ji.

When passing by Li Yunqing's wing, Xu Yuan was about to say hello to this kid and remind the other party to be ready to be assassinated, but found that all kinds of formations in the opponent's room to avoid detection were opened.

It is estimated that this kid is prostituting himself inside again, so he temporarily dispelled this idea.

Continuing downward, past the cramped passage where the servants lived, we came to the secret room again.

There was no intention of knocking on the door, Xu Yuan directly pushed the door open with one hand.

As far as the eye can see, Jing Xuelan, one of the heroines of "Cangyuan", is still tied to the stone bed naked, but at this time she is not as crazy as before.

With his eyes closed, he lay quietly on the stone bed in the secret room.

I thought that I should have been drugged by Lou Ji and Luo Xiran, two "medical experts", and fainted.

As for Lou Ji and Luo Xiran, the two daughters were fiddling with some bottles and jars of medicinal juice in front of several stone platforms in the corner of the secret room.

When Xu Yuan entered the door, he also heard some academic terms that he didn't understand.

However, for Xu Yuan's arrival, Lou Ji didn't seem very surprised, with her back to her back, her hands kept moving, and a quiet and delicate teasing voice like a quiet spring came:

"It's only been so long, and Chang Tianling has a conflict with that girl?"

“.”

Xu Yuan walked into the secret room and stared at the sexy and slender back of this old lady:

"Sister, I have something serious to tell you."

"Business?"

Lou Ji raised her eyebrows when she heard this, thought about it slightly, then put down the bottle and jar in her hand, turned around, leaned on the table behind her with her hips, and asked with interest, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Yuan thought for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced at the ceiling, and asked as if confirmed:

"Tianyan, is she really gone?"

Lou Ji's magnificent purple eyes flashed with a touch of puzzlement:

"That's what you're talking about?"

But after that, Lou Ji glanced at the direction of the tail wing of the Xuanying attic through the layers of barriers, and replied softly:

"That girl didn't leave, she was still hanging behind us."

Sure enough, it was.

Xu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but his eyes were very calm:

"Can you completely obscure our breath and get rid of her?"

"Yes is yes."

Lou Ji agreed, and then asked with a smile:

"But Changtian, what you said to the girl just now was deliberately stimulating her?"

Those words?

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately realized that Lou Ji was listening to the corner again.

This old lady is really funny sometimes.

Fang Cai was still listening to the corner of the wall under the atmosphere of being loaded with bombs, and he was not afraid of hearing something that he shouldn't hear.

I don't have the consciousness of being an elder at all.

"Don't be angry for a long time~"

As if he could see Xu Yuan's dissatisfaction, Lou Ji glanced at the extra willow blade on Xu Yuan's waist, and explained with a little resentment:

"I just sensed that there was something strange about the Qi machine in your room, so I paid attention to it."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan knew it in his heart.

The entire Xuanying attic was covered by this old lady's normalized Dao domain, and there were almost no dead ends, so the Qi machine that he revealed when he devoured the Yin Source of the Holy Rank was not perceived by her.

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and replied in a low voice:

"I'm not angry, I'm used to it."

Lou Ji immediately changed to that lazy smile again:

"It's good that you're not angry, so you just deliberately took Tianyan away?"

"Yes and no."

"What is your answer?"

Lou Ji sneered, and sat directly on the stone table behind her, her two plump jade legs intertwined and entangled, crossing Erlang's legs, and looking at Xu Yuan with bewitching purple eyes.

Xu Yuan snorted lightly and explained:

"There are some things that need to be foreshadowed in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with when the outbreak comes."

"Foreshadowing?"

Lou Ji's beautiful eyes were stunned for a moment, and then she reacted to the meaning of the words and chuckled:

"Changtian, it's not easy for you to want them to get along with the proud women of the sky~"

Xu Yuan shrugged:

"In the illusion, Tianyan and I have been dependent on each other for nearly twenty years, and it is indeed not easy for her to accept other people, but everything is man-made."

"You're not hiding your heart at all, but. You just said illusions? ”

Lou Ji teased lightly, and then her voice suddenly became a little serious, although the smile was still in her beautiful eyes, there was a hint of seriousness: "Changtian, do you really remember those so-called memories in the illusion?" ”

"Hmm."

"Really only memories?" Lou Jifeng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"You suspect I've been implanted with certain thoughts?" Xu Yuan asked with a chuckle.

"I have to guard against it." Lou Ji did not deny it: "Changtian, you also know your current identity. ”

"Don't worry." Xu Yuan chuckled lightly and signaled that the other party was fine: "My consciousness is very clear now. ”

"People who are implanted with thoughts will feel very sober."

“.”

After looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan chuckled and shook his head, and said in a low voice:

"Sister, you don't have to worry about this matter, the Heavenly Pavilion does have a plan, but your suspicion is in the wrong direction."

Lou Ji's eyes instantly froze, and wisps of chilling killing intent unconsciously diffused from all around her:

"In other words, the Heavenly Prison Pavilion does have ulterior motives?"

"Yes, that's what I'm here for now."

"What is it?"

"Assassinate me."

“.”

When the words fell, there was an instant silence in the wing.

Even Luo Xiran, who was immersed in tinkering with medicine stones on the side, raised his eyes when he heard this.

Lou Ji's enchanting and delicate face revealed an extremely strange look.

There was surprise, there was anger, but eventually these emotions turned into a touch of doubt.

The thousands of pieces of information in her mind were connected in an instant, but even she couldn't figure out the purpose of the Heavenly Prison Pavilion's actions.

Irrationality.

For example, there are many people who want to die for a long time today, but it should not be done by the Heavenly Prison Pavilion.

Standing in the position of the Heavenly Prison Pavilion, waiting for the powder keg to completely detonate and cause chaos in the world, it is obviously more beneficial to wait for the price to sell.

She looked at him and said in a soft voice:

"Are you sure?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Xu Yuan shook his head: "And among the assassins, there is at least one strong man." ”

Lou Ji exhaled softly, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly:

"If it is really such a means of assassination, there is really no need to go to such great lengths to implant special thoughts in you.

"But Changtian, where did you know about this?"

Xu Yuan did not hide this, and explained directly:

"In the illusion, I learned some secrets of the Heavenly Prison Pavilion, and they have a strange treasure that can search the location of the owner of the Yantian Divine Soul."

Speaking of which,

Xu Yuan raised his finger and gently tapped his head:

"And my psionic vision is just right in time to detect this machine."

"You just sensed this Qi machine?"

"Yes."

"But just now, my Dao Yun didn't sense any probing methods coming to your chamber."

“.”

These words made Xu Yuan a little speechless for a while, smashed his mouth, and thought about how to explain to this old lady.

But before he could speak, Lou Ji's voice with a wisp of pity came into his ears:

"That's it, no wonder you kid wants to take that girl away in advance, I know about it, what are you going to do with it for a long time?"

“.”

Xu Yuan immediately looked sideways, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The anomalies that had not been explored in the Dao domain of the demi-saints were sensed by his condensed soul, which was too strange to say.

With this old lady's temperament, she will inevitably investigate the reasons and make judgments.

And now, without explanation, she actually believes it?

Looking at his puzzled gaze, Lou Ji smiled at this.

Sitting on the edge of the stone table, the body leaned forward slightly, Lou Ji propped her elbows on her thighs, and looked at him with her palms holding her cheeks, and her voice was like an empty valley orchid:

"Changtian, you don't have to be too surprised, you will always take over the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, so I will believe your words and your judgment, just like I believe in your father.

"As for now, you just need to tell your sister about your plan, and then your sister will implement it."

“.”

The quiet words fell, and Xu Yuan's expression became slightly serious.

He felt an inexplicable pressure.

After a few breaths, Xu Yuan asked with a little hesitation:

"What do I say, sister, will you do it?"

Lou Ji bent her eyes and smiled:

"Naturally, this time my sister will not question your decision."

Hearing these affirmative words, Xu Yuan chuckled and took a deep breath, his eyes were indeed a little more solemn.

He understood what Lou Ji meant.

Giving him the decision to decide on this assassination incident is almost equivalent to handing over the relationship between the Xiangguo Mansion and the Prison Heaven Pavilion to him.

This time, Lou Ji was a test for him, the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as a high-ranking member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, rather than the care that her sister cared about her younger brother in the past.

The strength of the Xiangguo Mansion is still in full swing, but in today's turbulent situation, under the prying eyes of other forces, every step is like walking on thin ice.

Lou Ji wanted to see his choice,

Let's see if his feelings will affect his decision as the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this point, Xu Yuan's narrow eyes unconsciously narrowed slightly, and he said the first sentence softly:

"At this stage, it's not appropriate for us to tear our faces with the Heavenly Prison Pavilion."

Lou Ji still maintained that seductive posture, her slender index finger tapped her cheeks one by one, and her voice was noncommittal:

"Well, and then what?"

"So, I gave them some reminders when they were probing me."

"Reminder?"

"I've come into contact with that scouting machine, and the people of the Heavenly Pavilion already know that I've discovered their peeps."

"You have the means?"

There was a hint of surprise in Lou Ji's eyes, but then this surprise turned into sincere joy: "It's okay to do this, if they can retreat from the difficulty, they don't have to worry about tearing their faces at this stage." ”

"Yes, but we still have to prepare for the worst, use Tianxun Yuanjing to notify Di'an City, and let my father arrange someone to pick it up."

"It's nature."

Lou Ji agreed to this with a smile, and then asked as if unintentionally: "But Changtian, what if those people still insist on coming to assassinate?" ”

“.”

Standing in the middle of the secret room, the cold wind with autumn under the dome poured in through the window lattice hole.

Xu Yuan's thoughts were a little complicated.

He felt that the people of the Heavenly Prison Pavilion would not be so stupid, and they would forcibly choose to do it when the assassination had already been exposed.

But since this old lady has asked so.

"If they still insist, then send them on their way."

“.”

Lou Ji slowly stretched her body, stood up from the stone table, looked at the man who was half a head taller than herself, and asked with a chuckle of interest:

"But in that case, it's back to the original question, and now we're not very suitable for tearing our faces with the Heavenly Prison Pavilion, Changtian."

Xu Yuan shook his head and said faintly:

"Assassination is an act of extreme transgression for me.

"It's not weakness to avoid its edge, one reminder is enough, and if it is more, they should continue to make inroads, right?"
