Xue Mansion.

Zhang Hongmei, who had been busy all day, returned to her residence, and her personal maid immediately stepped forward to hand over a letter.

"Madam, the little maid in the outer courtyard sent it, saying that it was a handsome son and asked him to pass it on to you."

"Handsome Boy......"

Zhang Hongmei opened it and saw that it was a talisman, plus a note, on which was written the spell of the talisman and an address.

After a closer inspection, to make sure it was the monk's 'Gathering Talisman' and that there was no threat, she returned to the room to activate it, her eyes widening suddenly.

"This dog man and woman really have something to do!"

Zhang Hongmei sneered, staring at the animation intently, and when the animation ended, she pursed her lips and sneered, "Silver-like wax gun head, it's better to use a loofah ......"

Then, she noticed the conversation between the two, but unfortunately there was no sound, and it was impossible to tell what was being talked about for a while.

But looking at the mouth shape, there are words such as "alliance leader" and "Xue Shanhu".

After some thought, her face kept changing, and she wanted to tell Xue Shanhu as soon as possible to move Guo Qingxue down and straighten herself.

But this 'convergement' is disposable, and it is hard to believe it.

Guo Qingxue's status in the Xue Mansion is far inferior to her and cannot be shaken, and she is likely to put herself into it if she is not careful.

She picked up the note again and looked at it, frowned and groaned for a long time, and summoned the maid.

"I'll go out, you go and tell the master, I have something very important to report to him when I come back!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Zhang Hongmei hurriedly walked out of the house, retired the entourage of warriors, and rode to the destination.

In a small courtyard of a private house, Li Shangwen walked back and forth in the courtyard, and he was already impatient, for fear of ruining Zhong Yan's big event.

Boom~

A slender palm pushed the courtyard door open, and Zhang Hongmei, who was wearing a red and blue power suit, walked in straight with a sword in her left hand, but she was also a master of art and bold.

"It's you!"

Seeing Li Shangwen, Zhang Hongmei raised her eyebrows, slightly surprised in her heart, the yard is not big, she can see it thoroughly at a glance, and there is no one else.

Before she came, she thought about many possibilities, and the number one suspect was naturally Zhong Yan, who wanted to divide the Xue Mansion by trickery, but the Zhong and Li families were on good terms, and the person in front of her was not unexpected.

It's just that it's a bit hasty to send such a Body Forging Realm martial artist?

Moreover, she has heard that the second son of the Li Mansion is a small gambler who has lost a lot of money.

"Mrs. Xue, is the talisman good-looking?"

Li Shangwen smiled cheaply, but he was actually nervous.

Zhang Hongmei also smiled at the corner of her mouth, "You're not afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"I dare to wait for you here alone, naturally I am not afraid of you doing it, and besides, I have what you want, and I can't talk about business to the point of using a knife or a gun."

"Zhong Yan asked you to come?"

"How could he have given me something so important, I came out of my father's secret room."

Zhang Hongmei recognized it in her heart, and believed it a little, the monk has a lot of means, and it is not difficult to use an invisibility charm to sneak into someone else's mansion under the imprint of the voice portrait.

And Li Henian has been operating in Qingyang for many years, and it is normal for him to hold the handle of some family mansions in his hand, and it is more likely than Zhong Yan.

"You're not afraid that your father will come back and break your dog's legs?"

Li Shangwen said indifferently: "I don't know if he can come back or not, but now I am in difficulty, and there are many such talismans in the secret room, and my father should not care if there are one or two less." ”

"Let's make a condition."

Li Shangwen rubbed his hands and took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "My conditions are not worth mentioning to Mrs. Xue, first, 20,000 taels of silver." ”

Zhang Hongmei said with a smile: "I have a lot of appetite at a young age, what else?" ”

"Is there anything else......" Li Shangwen looked hesitant, his eyes wandering.

Zhang Hongmei said: "Since it is a negotiation of business and bargaining, directly speaking, I will try to satisfy it as much as possible." ”

"That...... Can I kiss you? As he spoke, Li Shangwen took two steps back.

"......" Zhang Hongmei was stunned, thinking that she had misheard, "What did you say?" ”

Li Shangwen swallowed his saliva, raised his hand to signal not to move, and forced himself to calm down: "Sister Hongmei, don't misunderstand!" I don't mean to blaspheme you, but I've admired you for a long time, but every time I can only watch from afar.

If not, I can coerce you to stay with me for one night, if you don't agree, add another 100,000 taels, but in my opinion, 100,000 taels is far from comparable, cough, that ......"

After a pause, he added, "Just a moment, is it okay?" ”

"......" Zhang Hongmei stared at Li Shangwen, and on his handsome face, she saw caution, nervousness, expectation, and some sincerity.

She has self-confidence in her appearance, she was known as the second beauty in Qingyang before leaving the cabinet, and there are many admirers, after marrying Xue Shanhu, all the suitors have lost their minds.

In this world, most of the older men are paired with young women, and there are few cases where there is a big age difference between the older and the younger ones.

At this moment, she was confessed by a man who was more than ten years younger than herself, Rao is that she has been a wife for many years, and she couldn't help but blush, and a slight sense of strangeness arose in her heart, and the fornication picture she had seen in the talisman appeared in her mind.

After being silent for a while, she covered up her gaffe with an angry smile, "You have eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard!" ”

"That's good!"

Li Shangwen said decisively: "A total of 120,000 taels!" Give me the money and I'll give you the spotnotes! With it, it won't be long before you can become the lady of the Xue Mansion! ”

The stakes are high, and changes will happen later.

Where is she going to get 120,000 taels of silver now?

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Hongmei gritted her teeth and made a decision, and took out a few silver tickets from her arms, "There are six hundred taels here, and the remaining more than ten thousand taels will be given to you tomorrow!" ”

She comforted herself in her heart: 100,000 taels is just a kiss, which proves that I am charming!

Li Shangwen blinked: "More than 10,000 taels?" ”

Zhang Hongmei looked left and right, felt that her cheeks were a little hot, closed her eyes, and said unspeakably: "Come here......"

Li Shangwen's heart was pounding, and he slowly moved over, both nervous and excited, and more sighed that his uncle was really a god, and every step was just right.

The other party will not bring more money when he goes out temporarily, and he will definitely agree.

When I found out that there was something wrong with the talisman, it was too late, so I could only bite the bullet and seek self-preservation.

"Horn~"

It is very measured to retreat with only one touch on the cheek.

Li Shangwen dodged the silver ticket from her hand, and quickly stuffed the talisman into her hand, his eyes were shining, but he said solemnly: "Sister Hongmei, Shangwen really admires you, I like it in my heart, if I need help in the future, I will definitely go to the soup!" ”

The breeze was blowing, and there was a cool mark on her cheek, Zhang Hongmei glanced at Li Shangwen deeply, clenched the talisman in her hand, and turned around and walked.

Discharged from the hospital, the horse ran a certain distance.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch her right cheek, and she already believed in the origin of the talisman in her heart, thinking that it was Li Shangwen's personal behavior.

……

Three quarters of the unitary hour.

Qingyang City is as brightly lit as ever, but it is no longer quiet.

The city was a sensation and riots continued.

The army of the city lord's mansion, the patrol army in the city, and the guards of the four city walls were all mobilized.

The streets and alleys were full of sergeants and servants with torches.

The Cao Yun Gang and the Ten Thousand Hall Gangs who were competing all over the city were all dazed.

- Let's quarrel and fight, although it seems that there are many people, but the two helmsmen of the dock are just doing it, and it has not yet reached the point of gathering a team battle, so can you use such a hard work?

The hall master of the Ten Thousand Halls and the leader of the Caoyun Gang quietly left the City Lord's Mansion together, glanced at each other, and each went back to sit in the town, passing down one order after another.

It didn't take long.

The two sides broke out in a fight, I smashed your stall, and you smacked my gambling house.

The City Lord's Mansion stepped in to stop it, and more sergeants flocked to the Westport Pier.

The fire inside and outside the city was soaring, and the people were panicked.

Hearing the news, the important figures of the Xue Mansion gathered at the gate of the mansion and saw the sergeants guarding here running in line and retreating.

The general of the government army stepped forward and called Xue Shanhu aside and said in a low voice: "Lord Xue League, the city lord has taken care of the affairs of Xue Mansion and Zhong Mansion flawlessly, and the City Lord of Qin asked me to tell you that peace is precious, and one of the two monks invited by Zhong Yan has reached the peak of the ninth layer of qi refining." ”

Xue Shanhu hurriedly asked, "General Niu, what's wrong?" The conflict between the Caoyun Gang and the Ten Thousand Halls won't be so big, right? ”

General Niu hesitated and said: "The army of Qi is attacking and is coming to the Xigang wharf, and I don't know the specific situation. ”

After that, he left.

"How is that possible?" Guo Qinglin stepped forward quickly, with a look of certainty: "There is no sign at all, how can the Qi State attack?" There must be fraud in it! ”

Xue Shanhu frowned: "Coming at us?" ”

All the warriors frowned, their eyes flickering.

Guo Qingxue looked at the empty and spacious streets, there were no patrols, the surroundings were quiet, only a faint shout of killing came from afar, and couldn't help but glance at Xue Hongyi, as if to say-rare opportunity!

"Master!"

A man rushed over, hugged his fist at Xue Shanhu and said: "The government troops over there in the Zhong Mansion have also withdrawn, and the entire Zhong Mansion has left, accompanied by Yang Yanqing, it seems that they are going to the Yang Mansion!" ”

Xue Shanhu was stunned for a moment, and laughed, "Zhong Yan dog thief, isn't he very arrogant, now he knows how to find a shelter!" ”

He looked back, and the Xue Mansion had summoned more than six hundred martial artists from all the lineages at this moment, all of them were above the acquired realm and more than forty in the innate realm, "You take a team of people to smash the Zhong Mansion first!" ”

Guo Qinglin hurriedly stopped: "It's not appropriate! Watch and see what happens! Besides, what's the use of smashing the house? That belongs to the Yan Imperial Court! ”

The voice fell.

"Woo~" A distant horn sound spread throughout the city, continuously.

Everyone was sluggish, and the clarion call for war was together, indicating that the main army stationed in the school field a hundred miles away from the north gate was also dispatched, and the war was undoubted.

Guo Qinglin still couldn't believe it, and muttered: "It's true......"

The crowd was discussing, and many people were dispatched by Guo Qinglin to run out to the Xigang Wharf, and there were carrier pigeons flying up one after another.

At this time, a maid squeezed to the front and pulled Guo Qingxue's sleeve, causing her to look back and stare back.

The maid tugged again, her eyes full of panic.

Guo Qingxue was suspicious, and the maid retreated, entered the house, and went to a room with a corner.

The maid hurriedly took out a letter from her cuff, knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Husband, madam, someone asked the slave and maid to hand over the letter to you, saying that Zhongfu didn't want to die and break the net, just an apology, he said it was for the good of the lady, otherwise, the lady and the slave maid would have to die......"

Guo Qingxue frowned: "When did it happen?" ”

"About three o'clock, a strange man on the street stuffed it to a slave and maid, saying that he would hand it over to you when he heard a whining sound from the city, it was a matter of life and death, and there was no room for error......"

Guo Qingxue's face changed, even the war horn was fake?!

She hurriedly opened the envelope, which contained a 'polynote' and a note.

In addition to the spell urging the talisman, the note also read: Zhong is kind to others, does not like to fight, the matter of the restaurant, with Mrs. Xue's discernment, I hope to persuade your husband to stop fighting, the two mansions are safe, and attach notes to show sincerity.

"Bastard!" Guo Qingxue scolded in a low voice, having a bad premonition in her heart, quickly jotted down the spell, and recited the words.

Not for a while.

Her face turned red and turned iron-blue, and in it was her own beautiful humming voice, which sounded extremely ashamed at the moment.

However, next, it made her heart tremble.

"Stepfather won't come, will he?"

"That idiot is thinking about avenging his son, how can he have the heart to come to me, don't stop, hurry up! Oh! ”

Guo Qingxue's eyelids jumped, the cold light flashed on her hand, and a dagger brought out a string of blood flowers that shot out, and the maid was cut throat and killed.

didn't continue to listen, she directly used her palm to exhale her true qi to shatter the rune paper, took a deep breath, and walked out quickly.
