After hearing Ran Qingmo's words, I had to admit that Xu Yuan was indeed panicked for a moment, but this was not afraid, just like when he was a student in his previous life, he came out of the hotel with his ex-girlfriend and ran into other people's parents head-on.

However, according to experience, the more weak you are at this time, the more dissatisfied the attitude of the woman's parents will be, and may even be so dissatisfied that they can't control their emotions and want to beat you.

Of course, the experiences of past lives cannot be applied to this life.

If Ran Jianli was allowed to leave the muscular old man who was playing with the giant sword, he would have chopped him up directly.

Xu Yuan was only one door away from death.

Of course, this is a joke.

After all, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is impossible for Ran Jianli to really chop him, but a beating is definitely inevitable.

It's just that the premise of all this is that the old man can go to the inner courtyard first.

The heavy courtyard gate of the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the protective formation engraved on it may only be regarded as a piece of tissue paper for Ran Jianli, but this is a tissue paper that cannot be touched.

The inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the real privy seat of the entire Xiangguo Mansion, Ran Qingmo was able to come in because Xu Yinhe agreed, and the rest of the people even used their souls to probe the inner courtyard It was an act of crossing the red line.

It is impossible for Ran Jianli not to understand this.

So to sum up, if you don't open the door, there is nothing.

After a slight groan, Xu Yuan asked Ran Qingmo aloud:

"Why does your master know that you are in the inner courtyard?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Yuan realized that this question was a bit idiotic.

Last night, the big ice lump rushed back to the Xiangfu non-stop, and Ran Jianli, an old man who was both a father and a master, definitely wanted to follow and watch, but unfortunately because of his identity, he could not come to visit on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the morning of the first day of the new year, he ran over to Qingxin Pavilion to see that there was no one, and with Ran Qingmo's nature, he would not run around, so he naturally ran to the inner courtyard to block the door.

Thinking about it, Xu Yuan changed his question before Ran Qingmo spoke:

"Ahem, how did your master communicate with you?"

The inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is engraved with the top-level chaotic array to avoid the detection of the soul, and the premise of the sound transmission is that the person who wants to transmit the sound must first be locked with the soul or the source qi. Theoretically, with such a layer of formations, Ran Jianli couldn't use Yuan Qi or Yi Soul to lock Ran Qingmo, let alone transmit sound.

Hearing this, Ran Qingmo reached out to his neck very honestly, and took out a jade-like object from the placket of the ink clothes:

"Use this"

“.”

Xu Yuan stared at the jade pendant with a slightly puzzled look in his eyes.

Xu Xinyao, who was on the side, looked at it for a few breaths, and suddenly said with a little novelty:

"Brother, this seems to be a portable communication magic weapon similar to Tianxun Yuanjing, although the scope is not large, but it can ignore the interference of Chaoyin."

Ran Qingmo looked at Xu Xinyao, whose eyes were shining, and asked softly while handing over the jade pendant:

"Would you like to see it?"

"Huh? May I? ”

Xu Xinyao blinked, and while reaching out to pick it up, she said with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Qingmo."

"Smack."

Xu Xinyao's fair-skinned little hand was slapped away by Xu Yuan's unceremonious slap before it touched the jade pendant.

Xu Yuan glared at her and said:

"What do you see? I want to see everything, but I can't do my own research? ”

The back of her fair hand flushed with a flush, Xu Xinyao rubbed the back of her hand painfully, her eyes were a little resentful, and she muttered:

"This jade pendant is not yours of the third brother."

Xu Yuan was too lazy to take care of her, held Ran Qingmo's hand holding the jade pendant, helped her stuff the jade pendant into her ink clothes, and instructed:

"Don't take out this jade pendant casually."

Ran Qingmo raised his eyes:

"Huh? Oh"

Xu Yuan shook his head lightly and sighed in his heart.

This big ice lump is really stupid, and this kind of secret can be taken out and shown to him casually.

If Tianxun Yuanjing is compared to a mobile phone, then the jade pendant in Ran Qingmo's hand can be regarded as a close-range radio.

Although this kind of object is not very useful at the strategic level, it can be taken by surprise at the tactical level, after all, there is no communication device in the Prime Minister that can ignore the "full-screen channel blocking interference".

From this point of view, the people of the world should really not be underestimated, and the forces that strive to climb the formation pattern technology tree to prepare for war are far more than the Xiangfu.

Just thinking about it,

"Tuk-tuk-"

A heavy knock on the door suddenly sounded from the courtyard door, and Xu Yuan subconsciously snorted and took half a step back.

Although he felt that it was impossible, according to the description of Ran Jianli's character in "Cangyuan", he really had a bit of a muscular old man who broke into the door directly.

But Ran Jianli outside the door is still sensible, after all, in his opinion, the third son of the Xu family has been assassinated, even if his apprentice stays in the inner courtyard of the Xiangfu for one night, at most he chats with the adopted daughter of the Xiangfu for a night.

After knocking on the door, Ran Jianli just coaxed in that deep voice:

"Qingmo, the teacher knows that you are inside, open the door, and the teacher will pick you up."

Ran Qingmo glanced back at Xu Yuan:

"Well, can I open the door for Master?"

Xu Yuan smiled wryly:

"Do you want to go back now?"

Ran Qingmo's gaze wandered back and forth in the direction of Xu Yuan and the door, thought for a moment, and shook his head slightly:

"Do you want me to go back?"

Xu Yuan smiled softly, and subconsciously reached out to hug the girl, but she was vigilantly dodged.

She stared at him:

"Xu Yuan. What are you doing? ”

Being held by Xu Yuan, she will have a strange feeling in her heart, so that she can cultivate for a long time before she can enter the concentration, which will affect her efficiency.

Reaching out to grab the air, Xu Yuan was not embarrassed, and said softly:

"Naturally, I don't want to, so you just tell your master to let him go back first?"

"Okay."

Ran Qingmo nodded, creaked through the snow and walked to the gate of the courtyard, through a heavy wooden door, and replied in a clear voice:

"Master. Xu Yuan asked me to tell you to go back first. ”

“.” Xu Yuan.

“.” Xu Xinyao.

“.” Xu Changge.

Outside the door was a deathly silence.

Ran Qingmo turned his eyes, looked at Xu Yuan with a dull expression, and asked softly:

"Xu Yuan.. Master he doesn't reply, what should I do? ”

“.”

The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes jumped, and he glanced at the deathly silence behind the courtyard gate, and did not reply to Ran Qingmo immediately, but asked Xu Xinyao in a quick whisper:

"Xin Yao, Ran Qingmo doesn't have the soul key of the inner courtyard formation, she shouldn't be able to hear her outside when she speaks, right?"

The sound avoidance array engraved in the inner courtyard is one-way, and the sound from the outside can be heard inside, but if the sound inside does not want to be transmitted, it cannot be heard from the outside.

Xu Xinyao glanced at Xu Yuan, rubbed the back of her hand that had just been beaten, and said faintly:

"I can't hear you."

Xu Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Xu Xinyao add:

"You may also be able to hear it, after all, the national teacher is a saint."

“.” Xu Yuan.

As soon as the heart began to accelerate, Xu Xinyao added unhurriedly:

"However, because the Yingyuan Array in the inner courtyard didn't react, most of the national teachers didn't have luck, so he still didn't hear it."

“.” Xu Yuan.

These four sisters actually learned badly.

"Bang!"

Angry, a brain melon directly collapsed on the head of the four sisters, and the strength directly caused Xu Xinyao to take two steps back, and squatted on the ground with her head covered, only revealing a pair of pitiful beautiful eyes staring at Xu Yuan resentfully.

Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Xu Yuan snorted lightly:

"Oh, like to tease for xion"

"Bang!"

Before the word brother fell, there was another muffled sound, and a thick slap slapped directly on the back of Xu Yuan's head, and the whole person was unsuspecting and was slapped into the snow on the ground with a bang, setting off a burst of snow mist.

Xu Changge slowly withdrew his hand and said softly:

"A little cultivation knows how to bully Xin Yao, virtue."

“.” Xu Yuan.

"Poof"

Xu Xinyao, who was squatting on the side and covering his head, looked at the eldest brother who suddenly appeared, and the third brother embedded in the snow, and smiled out loud: "Kuku Kuku~"

“.”

Listening to the laughter coming from beside him, Xu Yuan lay down in the snow without saying a word and pretended to be dead.

It's not that I dare to be angry and dare not speak, the main thing is that Ran Qingmo is here, and I have to save some face for myself.

"Hmph."

Glancing at the third brother who was lying in the snow and not moving, Xu Changge resisted the urge to kick it, turned around, and looked at Ran Qingmo at the door.

“.”

The moment she made contact with her eyes, Ran Qingmo's whole person instantly seemed to be facing a great enemy, and she was hesitating in her heart If Xu Yuan got up to fight with his eldest brother, whether she should take out the ink sword to help, Xu Changge suddenly threw her a token:

"This is the temporary soul key of the inner courtyard, it's best not to mention to your master that Xu Yuan is still alive, otherwise he may really die."

Ran Qingmo caught it, his eyes were a little puzzled, but after glancing at Xu Yuan who was lying on the ground, his eyes were still vigilant and vigilant when he looked at Xu Changge.

Seeing this, Xu Changge's eyes bent unconsciously, and said softly:

"If you want to help him, try it again when you have the beginning."

After all, the snow is still there, and Tsing Yi is gone.

“.”

“.”

"Third brother, the eldest brother is gone."

Xu Xinyao pulled the corner of the dead man's clothes on the ground, and reminded with a smile: "You can get up, Kuku Kuku~"

"Whoa-la-"

The snow slid down, Xu Yuan raised his eyes and glared at Xu Xinyao fiercely, but this time he didn't make another move, got up and snorted lightly and ignored her.

Xu Xinyao was also very sensible when she saw this, and didn't smile anymore, helping Xu Yuan pat the snow crystals on his back and long hair, and rubbed the back of his beaten head for him.

After cleaning up for a while, Xu Yuan turned his eyes back to look at Ran Qingmo, but saw that Da Bingtuozi was staring at the two of them with faint eyes:

"Xu Yuan. Are you alright? ”

Xu Yuan shook his head:

"Xu Changge is measured, you use the soul key to call your master back."

"Oh good."

Ran Qingmo turned around with his eyes down, activated the soul key with his soul, and whispered to the door:

"Master, I don't want to go back yet."

This time, there was a voice outside the door.

Ran Jianli was very puzzled:

"Why? The kid wasn't in the house. ”

"Uh-huh. I."

Ran Qingmo didn't know how to lie, so he stumbled twice, and then looked back at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and pointed directly at Xu Xinyao on the side.

Ran Qingmo understood and whispered:

"I'm going to accompany Xin Yao."

After a little silence, the muscular old man outside the door directly began to sell miserably:

"Qingmo, my master is not here, master, I am an old bone in Di'an, and I am still waiting to eat with you on the first day of the new year."

Ran Qingmo thought about it and replied seriously:

"But, master, didn't you say last night that you were going to attend the New Year's feast at noon?"

“.” Ran Jianli.

"Ahem, the master is talking about dinner."

"However, there is also a dinner party for the New Year's feast."

"In this way, Qingmo, you open the door first, okay?"

"Master, I know you." Ran Qingmo's voice was faint.

"What?" Ran Jian was puzzled.

"Well, as soon as I open the door, you're going to forcibly take me away, master."

“.” Ran Jianli suddenly had the urge to slam the door.
