Chapter 220: Scheming
Murong Xue smiled.
He looked at Lao Jianhua as if he was looking at a fool, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger: "Are you old and confused?" Want me to give in? It's a dream! ”
In the face of ridicule and reprimand, Lao Jianhua's expression was still as calm as water, without the slightest ripple.
Di Xian, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke: "Murong Xue, don't be full of words in everything. Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your children? ”
"Kid?!" Murong Xue was stunned and said, "What are you talking about?" ”
Di Xian showed a cold smile: "It seems that you really don't know?" When the two sides fought fiercely last night, you only cared about desperately protecting the carriage, but you didn't notice that Madame Zun was also captured by our army. After she returned to Luoyi with us today, she suddenly felt unwell. I have a kind heart, and I specially arranged for Lang Zhong to treat her, and I accidentally found out that Rui Ji was pregnant. ”
Murong Xue was surprised and delighted, and at the same time a little incredulous. After a moment's hesitation, he tried to ask, "Where is Rui Ji now?" She...... Are you okay? I want to see her. ”
"Of course you can," Lao Jianhua's tone sounded very gentle: "It's still the same sentence before, as long as you can change your mind and answer some of Lao's questions, even if you just let you go." What do you think? ”
I don't know when it started, but it began to rain lightly outside Yuxuan, and a slight rustling sound gradually sounded on the pond around it.
Murong Xue lowered her head, her eyes stared straight at the ground, her fists clenched tighter and tighter, and her bones crunched.
Listening to Yuxuan, there was a brief silence again.
Lao Jianhua, who was sitting on the bench, and Li Jiangyao, who was hiding on the beam, were quietly waiting for Murong Xue's reply.
After a long time, Murong Xue finally spoke, and there was an endless sourness in his voice: "Okay...... I promise you...... But before I do that, I'm going to meet my wife. ”
Lao Jianhua showed an imperceptible look of smugness on his face, and said lightly: "Someone, escort Murong Zhan to his wife." ”
When Murong Xue was escorted away by the guards, Di Xian smiled slyly: "Hmph, what bullshit loyalty?" In the end, isn't it obedient and begging for mercy? ”
Lao Jianhua raised his hand to stop Di Xian's words: "People, they can't get rid of the fetters of seven emotions and six desires. Murong Xue is like this, and so are you and me. There are still many secrets between him and the court, and they are all things that the old man is more concerned about. So you can't put more thought into it. ”
"The teachings of the gentleman should be kept in mind." Di Xian hurriedly replied.
Xie Bao, who was sitting opposite, opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Lao, what else do we have to do next?" Tell me. My father-in-law told me before that the person he respects the most is Mr. Law, so let me listen to you more. ”
Lao Jianhua smiled slightly: "The general is polite." But when it comes to things to do, I'm going to mention them to the two of you. The old man received reliable information that the backbone of the Reverse Scale Division had not yet left the Eastern Capital of Luoyi, and now those core members were gathering in a secret lair, waiting for the arrival of a big man. For this reason, the old man has already laid a net, and when that person appears, he will immediately take action to wipe out the Reverse Scale Division. When the time comes, you will need to work closely together. ”
"Is that so?" Xie Bao was excited: "Ha, I can finally take revenge!" Mr. Law, despite his orders, will go all out! ”
Li Jiangyao, who was hiding on the beam, was worried about his good brother Murong Xue, and at this time, he accidentally heard the conversation between Lao Jianhua and Xie Bao, and was so frightened that he almost fell off it.
The secret stronghold of the Reverse Scale Division has been exposed?! Could it be that there are traitors among those commanders and bannermen?! Who is secretly tipping off Lao Jianhua? And who is the big man mentioned by Lao Jianhua? Could it be Shen Lie?
Li Jiangyao felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and he couldn't wait to leave immediately and rush to warn. If the core power of the Reverse Scale Division suffered a devastating blow because he was one step late, he would definitely not be able to forgive himself.
But helplessly, Lao Jianhua and the three of them sat in Tingyuxuan and drank and talked, and there was no chance for him to get out. The more leisurely the enemy was, the more anxious Li Jiangyao became. Several times he almost couldn't bear it anymore, and he had the intention of killing it directly. But fortunately, there is still a trace of sanity, and nothing stupid is done.
The banquet lasted for more than an hour before it ended. However, as soon as Lao Jianhua and the others left on the front foot, a large group of servants came to Xuanzhong on the back foot, cleaning up the scraps, dishes and chopsticks.
The most annoying thing is that those guys are quite procrastinating, working slowly and leisurely, while chatting without some of them, and almost killing Li Jiangyao in a hurry.
In this way, I waited for a long time, and only when I heard that Yuxuan was really empty.
Li Jiangyao turned over and landed on the ground with a somersault, and then jumped on the ridge in the distance like lightning, and ran out of the Taifu Mansion with a puff of smoke.
When he got to the street, Li Jiangyao thought about it a little, and finally decided not to go to Luo Jiankun to send someone to deliver the letter, but to go to the police in person and call the police to the leaders of the Reverse Scale Division.
Before, Li Jiangyao and the others were not caught by the Xuanjia Army in order to ensure their safety, so after each group completed its task, they immediately withdrew from Luoyi and went to the hidden point to gather. In the end, only Li Jiangyao, Luo Jiankun and a few of them were left to stay in the small courtyard to check the situation behind.
Therefore, now Qiao Shengchun, Zhou Xing, and Wang Hai are all in the secret stronghold outside the city, if there is a traitor, I am afraid that none of them will be able to escape!
Li Jiangyao was anxious, firstly, he didn't want to make a detour to Zhishanfang to find Luo Jiankun, wasting time in vain, and secondly, the city gate was closed at this moment, and it was easier for him to climb over the city wall more than ten zhang high.
He unleashed the Light Body Lifting Technique, and kept exerting force under his feet, rushing to the city wall like a meteor. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no defenders paying attention, he used the unique treasure steel cable flying claw of the Reverse Scale Division to climb the city wall in three or two, and then crossed the city head, and then hung down from the other side.
A huge city wall like Luoyi, the eastern capital, is more than ten zhang high, and it is by no means surpassable by light effort. Even if he is the top knight in the martial arts, if he jumps down directly, he has to fall to death on the spot, so the artifact of the Reverse Scale Division has indeed played a big role.
Li Jiangyao fell smoothly outside the city, and for the time being, he didn't care about the time-consuming recovery of the flying claws, and immediately turned around and ran into the distance.
He was now in a race against time, and a moment of delay could lead to catastrophe.
Li Jiangyao hadn't been to the secret stronghold outside the city before, but he had only heard Wang Hai describe it carefully to him. However, fortunately, he was born as a scout, and he had an almost natural control over the terrain, and he was confident that he could find that place in this dim rainy night with only memory and judgment.
I don't know if it's because I'm back in the familiar wild environment, or because the cold rain is constantly pouring on my body, Li Jiangyao ran forward and felt that the anxious mood he had just now was slowly calming down.
At the same time, a feeling of insecurity gradually came over me.
This so-called "insecurity" is not due to the fear that the Reverse Scale Division is in danger, but an inexplicable intuition.
It was as if the beast felt danger looming.
Li Jiangyao ran slower and slower, slower and slower, and finally stopped directly.
Wrong! There's a problem here!
He suddenly realized that he might have been tricked!
Listening to Yuxuan just now, what Lao Jianhua said was "The backbone of the Reverse Scale Division has not yet left the Eastern Capital Luoyi, and now those core members are gathering in a secret lair, waiting for the arrival of a big man." For this reason, the old man has already laid a net of heaven and earth, and when that person appears, he will immediately take action. ”
This sounds reasonable, but in fact it means nothing is said.
First of all, the people who said that the Reverse Scale Division did not leave the Eastern Capital of Luoyi. From a big point of view, it really makes sense that Qiao Shengchun and the others gathered not far from the city. From a small point of view, they are no longer in the city, which is equivalent to leaving the eastern capital Luoyi.
Secondly, Lao Jianhua said that the people of the Reverse Scale Division were waiting for a big man to arrive. It sounds mysterious and mysterious, but in fact, there is no need for him to sell Guan Zi in front of Xie Bao and Di Xian. Is that big man Shen Lie, or someone else, wouldn't it be good for Lao Jianhua to say his name directly?
In the end, the so-called Tianluo net will not be collected until the big man comes, but the key problem is that this just leaves Li Jiangyao time to report a warning message, and he has to race against time and dare not delay for a moment.
In just a few sentences, it is ambiguous and plausible, but it creates an extremely tense situation, forcing people to panic.
Damn, Lao Jianhua, this old fox, he had already noticed that I was hiding on the beam at that time!
Li Jiangyao couldn't help but curse secretly, and at the same time understood Lao Jianhua's thoughts.
Lao Jianhua is strong in martial arts and very vigilant, so he was just listening to Yuxuan, Di Xian Xie Bao may not have noticed, but Lao Jianhua probably found someone on the beam.
At the same time, this old guy can also be sure that the person on the beam is definitely not the sworn enemy Shen Lie. The reason is very simple, this kind of work as a spy does not require Shen Changshi to go out in person.
Since it wasn't Shen Lie who came, there was no need to expose it on the spot. Because not to mention how many casualties will be caused by doing it on the spot, the key is that even if someone is caught, it is just a spy, and most of them will not be able to judge anything valuable.
Instead of this, it is better to bury a hook and cast a line to fish.
So, there were Lao Jianhua's specious words. Perhaps, as soon as Li Jiangyao left Tingyuxuan, he followed behind him, just waiting for him to obediently find the nest of the Reverse Scale Division, so as to give the Xuanjia Army a chance to really catch it all.
Li Jiangyao smiled coldly, and immediately looked in the direction behind him, but after a long time, there was nothing abnormal there. Suddenly, Li Jiangyao dodged and moved again, but this time he changed direction and ran directly to the left, and his speed was a few points faster than before, moving at high speed in the mountains and forests like lightning.
Soon, he stopped again, and the position he was in turned out to be the same place where he had stopped just now. And this time, he really stopped completely, standing silently in the rain, motionless.
With a few snaps of his fingers, a gentle footstep sounded not far behind Li Jiangyao.
A gruff voice actually said in Turkic: "Huh? Awesome, can you detect our body? ”
