Chapter 35: Going to the Feast
"I'll go, is it appropriate?"
Hearing this, his heart moved slightly,
In fact, it stands to reason that she should not appear by Xu Lan's side in public.
Because in Qingzhou,
She represents the Hanging Mirror Division of the Great Chu Dynasty.
But...
For a moment, Chen Ci's thoughts were chaotic.
She wanted to resign with Chen, but she couldn't find a reason to convince herself for a while.
"Of course it is."
Xu Lan's heart moved slightly, and then he spoke: "Don't you think that the Sun family is also unusual?" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Chen Ci was puzzled,
"At the beginning, the Sun family and the Qian family competed together for the mining rights of this vein, but the Qian family knew that it was the land of the dragon vein in Qingzhou because they received instructions from the Demon Sect."
"But what about the Sun family? Will they not know? ”
"The day after the Qian family was destroyed, they found the Xu Mansion and wanted to trade with me at any cost, which means that they know what is underneath that place."
After Xu Lan's careful analysis, Chen Ci also fell into thought.
"But it doesn't make sense."
Chen Ci tilted his head and thought for a moment and said: "Looking at the entire Great Chu Dynasty, although the Sun family can't be on the stage, there will be a family with hundreds of years of history in Qingzhou, and they won't be so stupid." ”
Cut off the dragon vein of Qingzhou, steal the luck of the dynasty,
Once discovered, this crime is no longer an ordinary capital crime.
As for Xu Lan's case,
Chen Ci didn't know what to do, from last night until now, she occasionally thought about how to deal with the Qingzhou dragon vein on Xu Lan.
Report it truthfully?
This would bring great risks to Xu Lan, because it was very likely that the Kyoto side would forcibly extract the qi luck from Xu Lan's body.
Once this kind of thing happens, she doesn't know what Xu Lan's final fate will be.
But if you choose to help Xu Lan hide it,
Actually, it didn't have much effect, because in the end, Kyoto would definitely send someone down to investigate the whole thing.
It is not difficult to find out where that trace of luck fell by the means of the Great Chu Dynasty.
How should Xu Lan face it then?
"Take a step, look at a step."
Chen Ci sighed slightly in his heart,
"Well, but don't forget one more thing."
At this time, Xu Lan said softly: "There is also a strong man's cave mansion there. ”
"You mean... That cave house is the true purpose of the Sun family? ”
Chen Ci's eyes shrank slightly,
But that's not right,
As far as she knew, although there was no shortage of cultivators in the Great Chu Dynasty who had entered the Dao with formations, there had never been a real formation master in the history that had come forward.
Even some of the secret archives in the Hanging Mirror Division have not been recorded.
How did the Sun family in Qingzhou know that there was a cave house hidden by a formation master?
"Hmm."
Xu Lan nodded lightly and said, "So let you go with you and see if you can get some useful news from her." ”
"Okay."
Chen Ci nodded,
You don't have to think of reasons to convince yourself, Xu Lan has already helped herself think about it.
"Then take a break."
Xu Lan smiled and said, "I asked Qingluan to prepare hot water for you to bathe." ”
"You don't want to see it again, do you?"
Chen Ciliu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a hint of a smile.
"No, I still have to practice swords."
Xu Lan said with a serious face: "Today, I haven't practiced sword yet. ”
Speech: ......
After Chen Ci left, Xu Lan also asked Hongluan to find paper and pen.
"There is a kind of magic circle called [Gathering Spirit Array] recorded in the Book of Heavenly Works, in which cultivators can get twice the result with half the effort, maybe I can try it."
With a slight movement in his heart, he wrote down some of the materials needed to build the Spirit Gathering Array on a piece of paper.
But he kept an eye on it,
He wrote down the required materials separately, and even added some other extraneous materials.
"Take it and have people buy it back."
Xu Lan handed all the papers to Qingluan and instructed, "Remember to buy them separately and try not to attract the attention of others." ”
"Okay."
After Qingluan left,
Xu Lan also began to practice swinging his sword in the courtyard as usual, and it didn't end until sunset.
After a simple bath, Xu Lan changed into a white robe and appeared in front of Chen Ci's eyes.
"You look good in these earrings."
Xu Lan saw at a glance that Chen Ci was wearing the pair of earrings he bought for her at this time,
Well, yes, your own vision is still okay.
"Really?"
Chen Ci smiled happily, in fact, she felt the same way.
"Gone."
Xu Lan waved his hand and said, "Qingluan and Hongluan, you don't have to follow me, if my mother asks, she will say that I will come back later." ”
"Oh."
Hongluan and Qingluan glanced at each other, and now the son doesn't take them when he goes out!
Xu Lan and Chen Ci walked side by side on the street, and soon came to the gate of Sun's house.
"Xu Gongzi, please."
What he didn't expect was that the head manager of the Sun family, Mr. Lin, was waiting for his arrival in front of the door.
"I'm tired."
Xu Lan smiled slightly, it seems that the Sun family is really sincere in trading with him, otherwise he would not have put on such a low posture.
But they may not know the vein... It's useless.
The Qingzhou dragon vein and the imperial luck are all hidden in his body, and even the inheritance of the formation master has been taken away by himself.
No matter what the Sun family is plotting, I'm afraid it will be all for nothing in the end.
However, he didn't mind continuing to trade with the Sun family, as long as the price they offered was high enough.
"This girl is the Lord of the Hanging Mirror Division, right?"
Steward Lin walked in front and said, "The head of the family has something to go out today, but she told me not to neglect the girl." ”
"You don't have to be so polite."
Chen Ci said lightly: "I came today, it doesn't mean the Hanging Mirror Division. ”
"Yes, of course."
Steward Lin just smiled slightly, but didn't say anything,
You're a member of the Hanging Mirror Division, and everything you say is right.
"Is the head of the Sun family here today?"
Xu Lan slowly asked,
It stands to reason that the Sun family is plotting against that vein, and Sun Hongying, as the head of the family, should be present.
"Well, there are some business problems with the out-of-town branches."
Steward Lin said with a smile: "The head of the house said that she will definitely visit after she settles the matter." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Lan and Chen Ci glanced at each other and saw the doubts in their eyes.
"Two, here."
Steward Lin took the two of them to a courtyard and said, "The third lady is waiting inside." ”
"Okay."
Xu Lan nodded, strode into the courtyard and heard a pleasant sound of flute.
In the face of prestige,
Xu Lan saw a figure in a light blue dress giving a, and what surprised him was that the third lady of the Sun family was actually blindfolded with strips of cloth.
"Blind?"
A thought suddenly flashed in Xu Lan's heart, he always felt that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Xu Gongzi is here."
The maid on the side bowed her head and reminded.
