Chapter 37: Setting Up the Bureau
"Really?"
Xu Lan is not in a hurry to expose the "third lady" in front of him,
Instead, he continued: "Five hundred years ago, maybe six hundred years ago, maybe seven hundred years ago, a mysterious array mage appeared in the territory of Great Chu. β
"No one knows who he is, and no one knows where he came from, but some documents within the Great Chu Dynasty record that the last place where this mysterious array mage appeared was in Qingzhou."
Sun Hongying: ......
silent
For a moment, Sun Hongying didn't know what to say.
What made her unbelievable was how Xu Lan knew about this.
Even if it's her,
It was also from the secret collection of the sect to learn some fur, and it even took three or four years to track down before getting the final answer.
But what about Xu Lan?
An ordinary native of Qingzhou, how could he know such secrets?
Historical documents of the Great Chu Dynasty?
She felt that this reason was not enough, because she knew very well that the Great Chu Dynasty had already erased the traces of this formation mage.
Seeing that the "third lady" in front of him didn't speak,
Xu Lan was not in a hurry, but took a sip of tea slowly.
Everybody is smart,
Now that I've talked about it, it's no fun to pretend any more.
"How did you know about this?"
After a while, Sun Hongying raised her head slowly, and the expression between her eyebrows gradually became cold.
If the tenderness of the "third lady" just now is pretended,
Then the current Sun Hongying simply doesn't even want to pretend.
"Guess?"
Xu Lan suddenly smiled,
He knew that he had won the game.
"Xu Gongzi is so clumsy."
Sun Hongying smiled and said, "It's not just me who has lost my eyes, but even the people of the entire Qingzhou have looked away." β
Originally, she thought that she could handle an ordinary person like Xu Lan at will, but she didn't expect to be put on a show by Xu Lan.
Now it seems that most of the information about Xu Lan in his hands can no longer be used.
"Each other, each other."
Xu Lan said calmly: "Then I want to call you the head of the Sun family, or Miss Sun Hongying, or the third lady or Miss Sun Hongyun?" β
Chen Ci on the side was slightly stunned,
The three young ladies in front of her are Sun Hongying, the head of the Sun family?!
She knew that this third young lady was not simple, but she didn't expect that the other party would be Sun Hongying herself!
"If Gongzi Xu likes it, whether it is the head of the Sun family or the third lady, it is just a title."
Sun Hongying said indifferently: "Childe, you haven't answered my question yet." β
"Guess."
The corners of Xu Lan's mouth raised slightly, you let me say it?
"This matter is a secret of my sect, but as far as I know, Gongzi Xu has never left Qingzhou since he was a child."
Sun Hongying said word by word: "It stands to reason that you have no ability to access the secrets of this level at all. β
Xu Lan didn't speak, but looked at her with a smile on his face,
Sun Hongying: ......
Still don't want to say?
"Where did you go yesterday?"
After a moment of silence,
Sun Hongying decided to give up the question, and Xu Lan didn't say that she had no way to force him to answer her own question.
"Where?"
Xu Lan pretended not to know,
From Qingluan's mouth, he knew that he was going to leave the city in the heavy rain on the Yamen side yesterday, but now he got another information from Sun Hongying's words.
Yesterday, Sun Hongying also went with her.
"You didn't go?"
Sun Hongying's eyes narrowed slightly, and for a moment she didn't know whether to believe what Xu Lan said.
"Yesterday's torrential rain continued, how could you go out easily?"
Seeing this, Xu Lan suddenly knew in his heart, it seemed that Sun Hongying should not know what was going on underground.
But it's right to think about it,
The vein almost collapsed yesterday, and no matter how powerful she was, Sun Hongying could not dig up the vein in just one day to discover its secrets.
Preliminary estimates... It would take more than a week for her to reopen the vein.
"Wait, I seem to have overlooked one thing."
At this time, Xu Lan's heart moved slightly,
What about the Demon Sect Elder?
If Sun Hongying had gone to the scene yesterday, there was a good chance that she would have met that Demon Sect Elder.
Even though the entrances and exits of the veins are different, they are not very far from each other.
A large group of people from the Demon Sect couldn't avoid Sun Hongying and the people of the Qingzhou Yamen at all.
But now Sun Hongying was sitting in front of him, and the Demon Sect Elder was a silent relic.
"In other words, Sun Hongying has a high probability of fighting with that Demon Sect Elder, and even that Demon Sect Elder is dead..."
Although the Demon Sect Elder was a cultivator of the Four Realms, behind Sun Hongying was the entire Sun family!
Moreover, after a short period of contact, he felt that Sun Hongying was not an ordinary person.
As for why he couldn't feel the flow of True Qi from her body, that was another question.
"This could be an opportunity..."
At this time, Xu Lan's heart moved slightly,
In fact, he has been thinking about how to deal with the problem of the Great Chu Dynasty's luck hiding in his body since yesterday.
He didn't feel that he had a trace of great luck in his body to hide it from the world.
Sooner or later, the world will find out.
He wasn't sure how the Great Chu Dynasty would treat him, but he probably knew it in his heart when he saw Chen Ci's worried look flashing from time to time.
Imperial luck is not trivial.
The Great Chu Dynasty will not let this matter end easily,
But then he remembered another sentence from the clichΓ©.
Seven realms, you can overwhelm the Great Chu Dynasty.
In other words, you only need to cultivate yourself to be comparable to the Seven Realms,
Then the Great Chu Dynasty has no way to treat itself, and even treats it as a guest!
"It seems that this Sun family master has to be asked to take the blame for me during this time..."
When you think of this,
Xu Lan already had a rough plan in mind.
He has more information than Sun Hongying, which is enough to set up his own situation.
As for whether Sun Hongying will take the bait?
He thought he would.
"Yes."
Sun Hongying didn't doubt it too much,
Yesterday, the Sun family sent someone to stay outside the Xu Mansion to observe, but they didn't see Xu Lan take half a step out of the Xu Mansion.
Moreover, Xu Lan's cultivation is not high, and once he appears at the scene, it is impossible to hide it from others.
"Yesterday, there was a demon cult rebel in the place where the ore vein is located."
Sun Hongying said lightly: "Maybe you don't know that it happens to be the place of the dragon vein in Qingzhou. β
"Dragon vein?"
Xu Lan and Chen Ci glanced at each other, and the latter immediately understood.
"Please also ask Miss Sun to solve your doubts."
Xu Lan couldn't help but smile,
Pretend, you have to pretend to be a little bit like it, what Qingzhou dragon vein, I don't know at all.
"Qingzhou can be ranked first among the thirteen continents of Great Chu, not only because of its unique geographical advantages, but also because of this dragon vein."
Sun Hongying said softly: "The strength or weakness of ordinary dragon veins will not have a particularly big impact on their respective places, but this dragon vein in Qingzhou is somehow stained with a trace of luck from the Great Chu Dynasty. β
