"Five hundred, four hundred and ninety-nine, four hundred and ninety-eight......" Lei Xiaoyan was counting carefully according to Li Cuiyan's instructions. He deliberately counted backwards to increase his sense of tension and oppression, because there seemed to be a lot of guards in the building, and he was really worried about Li Cuiyan's safety.

"Three hundred and seventy-six, three hundred and seventy-five, three hundred and seventy-four......" At this time, Li Cuiyan and Bi Gongzi were already sitting at the table in the small hall on the second floor, the wine and food were served in twos and threes, and a lot of firewood was added to the stove, and the flames were burning vigorously.

"Three hundred and seven, three hundred and six, three hundred and five......" After Li Cuiyan and Bi Gongzi drank a few glasses of wine, they warmly beckoned the guards to drink hot wine to warm up their bodies and invigorate their blood. In front of the beauty, Bi Gongzi had to pretend to be very open-minded and allowed several guards to sit and drink together.

"Two hundred and twenty-three, two hundred and twenty-two, two hundred and twenty-one......" All the guards, including Bi Gongzi, suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't hold back their sleep.

"One hundred and ninety-seven, one hundred and ninety-six, one hundred and ninety-five......" Li Cuiyan tiptoed up the stairs to the third floor, only to hear a burst of snoring from the room, it seems that the two sons on the third floor have been "put down" by the wine without her action.

"One hundred and sixty, one hundred and sixty, one hundred and fifty-nine...... the second floor suddenly became very quiet, and the delay of too long would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the two guards on the first floor. At this time, a cold wind suddenly blew open the windows on the first floor, and some snowflakes drifted in.

The male guard complained, "Why is this broken window always not closed tightly!" and went to close the window. The female guard, on the other hand, stared at the flying snowflakes thoughtfully. The snowflakes fell gently on the ground and quickly melted, and the nearby ground was soaked with snow and reflected the light of the candles. Suddenly, the female guard suddenly woke up to the strange thing about Li Cuiyan!

"Oops!" the female guard exclaimed, "the woman said just now that she was sheltering from the snow, but in order to get into the warm room, her hair and clothes were dry?"

The other male guard hadn't come back to his senses yet: "That'...... What does it mean?"

The female guard anxiously drew her weapon and rushed towards the stairs, shouting, "Stupid! It means that she wrapped up her hair and clothes when she walked at night before, but her hand is obviously empty, if it is a coat, is it necessary to hide it?"

"That's it...... Nightwear!" The male guard suddenly realized. In the middle of the night, still wearing night clothes, there must be another purpose.

"Ahem, you two, go and bring up that bucket of hot water!" Bi Gongzi's order suddenly came from the second floor.

The female guard hesitated for a moment, glanced at the male guard behind her, and replied, "Master Bi, let's stay with you, and change the two to carry the ......."

Unexpectedly, Bi Gongzi became angry: "This girl is tired, she wants to go back to her room to take a bath and rest! If you go, hurry up and give it to me, what are you talking about? What are you doing tonight? Disobey my orders three times and twice, do you want to die?"

"But......" The female guard was about to say more, but the male guard twisted her on the arm. She turned around, and the male guard shook his head, and whispered in her ear, "He's still losing his temper there, it seems that there should be nothing wrong, maybe you're thinking too much." Let's hurry up and carry the water, he won't have any good fruit to eat!"

The two had no choice but to comply with the order to carry hot water. Lei Xiaoyan was lying on the door eavesdropping at this moment, and the word "bathing" naturally got into his ears. He couldn't wait to rush into the building immediately and slap Bi Gongzi a few big ear scrapers, but the number of five hundred hadn't been counted yet!

It was inconvenient to carry a large barrel, not to mention that it was filled with eight points of water! The two guards struggled to keep the barrel balanced as they climbed the narrow staircase. In this defenseless situation, Li Cuiyan cleanly made the two unconscious.

"Whoa-" The barrel toppled over and the water spilled on the stairs, as Thunder Flame snapped the latch and rushed in. When he saw Li Cuiyan dragging the unconscious Bi Gongzi down the stairs, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you really counted five hundred, how can you be so fast? If you had broken in earlier, you would have made a mistake!" Li Cuiyan said angrily.

Lei Xiaoyan smiled embarrassedly: "The count is finished, but as soon as I heard Bi Gongzi say that you want to bathe, I was anxious." In a hurry, I counted 'one hundred, ninety, eighty'......"

"Fool, when have you heard Bi Gongzi speak? If you haven't leveled him down at that time, you'll be in big trouble! That voice is what I learned from him!" Li Cuiyan said angrily.

Lei Xiaoyan was extremely surprised: "The person who just spoke is clearly ...... Is it really you?

"Of course! I can imitate a man's voice. You still haven't come to help me, it's really useless!" Li Cuiyan's voice changed to Bi Gongzi again.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability!" Lei Xiaoyan stepped forward with a laugh and carried Bi Gongzi on his shoulder.

Li Cuiyan hurriedly said: "Shhh

Fortunately, Lei Xiaoyan was strong and strong, and it was not difficult to carry Bi Gongzi to hurry. The wind was blowing under their feet, and after leaving the city, they followed the mark made by Shi Haoming and quickly went to the agreed place.

"Yan'er, I want to ask you something. How do you know that one of the three of them must be sober?"

Li Cuiyan smiled proudly: "It's very simple. Because Marshal Bi is not here, and he has sent guards to protect him, this shows that Marshal Bi cares about the safety of Bi Gongzi, right?"

Lei Xiaoyan nodded: "Of course, grandpa must care about his grandson." ”

"The three sons got together, and with the old way of Marshal Bi, how could he not have predicted that the three of them would drink together? Therefore, he must have told them that the three of them could drink together, but they must not get drunk together, so as not to make a mistake or be in danger. Tonight is our luck, the sober one happens to be Bi Gongzi, otherwise with the status of the other two sons, I am afraid it will be difficult to completely suppress those guards. Li Cuiyan explained.

"Anyway, there are guards guarding it, even if you get drunk together, it's not a big deal! The strength of the three sons and brothers is low, if they really encounter danger, how useful can they be even if they are sober?" Lei Xiaoyan still didn't figure it out.

"In this world, the most elusive thing is the human heart. Are the guards necessarily reliable?"

Cui Yan paused, and then said, "I think that Bi Gongzi must have a way to contact Marshal Bi immediately, so it is a good strategy to act when he is unsuspecting." As long as Bi Gongzi is used to suppress those guards, everything will fall into place. ”

"Did you poison them?"

"Hey, I'm not that vicious, it's just my homemade drug. If you eat it, you will have to fall asleep for a long time, and you can't remember anything about going to bed, hehe. ”

"How do you drug alcohol in front of so many people?"

Li Cuiyan said with a smile: "Who said I was drugged in wine?"

"Where is that?"

"Secret!"

......

It was the early morning of the first day of the new year, and Xiao Tianhe was standing in the southwest suburbs of Feiyun City, waiting anxiously. The snow had finally stopped before dawn after a night of fall, but the cold wind had not stopped howling. At the end of the day, the darkest hour before dawn, at last, several figures appeared at the end of the avenue. Xiao Tianhe hurriedly walked up to meet him.

"Boss Xiao, the matter is done, but I haven't gotten any news!" Lei Xiaoyan shouted loudly.

Xiao Tianhe frowned: "Huh?

"People have been caught and interrogated, but they don't know anything at all. Shi Hao said, "It seems that you really expected to be wrong, that Miss Ye was not arrested by Bi Gongzi." ”

"This ...... Could it be that Bi Gongzi didn't tell the truth?" Xiao Tianhe wondered.

He Chongbao said: "Impossible. The scene of the questioning...... Didn't you see it, Bi Gongzi was tortured to the point that he couldn't survive and couldn't die, crying with tears and snot, he didn't have that backbone, and it really wasn't him who did it. ”

"Alas, who will it be......" Xiao Tianhe felt that the woman who was arrested should be Ye Linglong, yes, if it wasn't Bi Gongzi who was arrested, who else could it be? At this time, a name suddenly appeared in his mind, making his heart "chuckle": Fan Lingyun! However, he couldn't think of a reasonable motive. "I really hope it wasn't her......" Xiao Tianhe could only pray silently.

"Don't get too tangled, you've done your best. Shi Haoming patted Xiao Tianhe on the shoulder, "The clue is broken, so I have to continue to collect information in the future." I hope that Miss Ye is auspicious. ”

Xiao Tianhe nodded wistfully, suddenly remembered something, and asked Li Cuiyan: "How is the 'aftermath work' on Bi Gongzi's side?"

Li Cuiyan grinned: "Don't worry, I didn't leave him any substantial damage, I guarantee that he will only think that he has a nightmare." As for those guards, hehe, they were still asleep when I sent Bi Gongzi back, and they won't remember anything when they wake up. ”

Xiao Tianhe arched his hand and said: "Okay! Thank you everyone, you have been tossing for my business for so long." You all go back to Meng Zhangjie, I still have to rush to the closing of the evaluation competition after dawn. ”

"Hey, that's so polite, isn't it?"

"It's a small thing, but if you have something, you can tell it. ”

"What else do we use the word 'thanks' between us, it's really out of sight. ”

Looking at the warm and friendly appearance of several demon clans, Xiao Tianhe finally smiled, and said silently in his heart: "It's good to have you here!"

......

At two o'clock, the Feiyun District Lower-level Cultivator Evaluation Contest ended in Feiyun City Square, and in addition to announcing the list of qualified people, it was also necessary to assign the military belongings. Each qualified person will receive a special name tag to prove their identity and qualifications. When reading out the list of qualified, Xiao Tianhe heard the names of Fan Lingyun, Su Ziyi, and Ye Linglong, but unfortunately none of them were present.

Later, when the ownership was assigned, Xiao Tianhe withdrew and returned to Xinwangying. At this time, the appointment order personally signed by Marshal Xin had been served. Since this time the exception allowed the three members of the receiving team to be transferred out with the ascendants, the new successors of the receiving team also came to the New Hope Camp with the transfer order. Perhaps because of the reappearance of the Ascendant, the scale of the Demon Race Receiving Team is finally not so shabby, and the new Guiding Team has four other team members in addition to the main and vice captains.

After packing their bags, Liao Qifeng and Sun Hailiang stood in the courtyard, looking at the camp that had been guarded for decades, and watching the successors constantly entering and leaving the tent busy, they couldn't help but sigh.

"Looking back on decades,

With a flick of a finger.

green mountain stone as soil,

The waves of water make smoke.

Lonely clouds follow wild cranes,

There is a fate to fly together.

Look at the descendants again,

The body and mind do not move. ”

Sun Hailiang sang this poem with this complex mood of joy, melancholy, loneliness, longing and nostalgia. After chanting, he found that Liao Qifeng was squinting at him in surprise.

"Look at what, I'm also a little literary!" Sun Hailiang pushed Liao Qifeng.

"Yes, you can do it! I admire it! In the past 100 years, you have survived to death, and you still 'flick your fingers'; when you see that there are successors, you still 'keep your body and mind moving'...... Why don't I report it and say that you are reluctant to stay for another hundred years?" Liao Qifeng quipped.

Sun Hailiang shook his head: "Talking about poetry and essays with a rough person like you is like playing the piano to a cow." 'With a flick of a finger' is just a feeling at first glance, didn't I say in the last two sentences, 'The stones have turned to dirt, and the rivers have turned to smoke'? Besides, although I have nostalgia, I am only nostalgic for the years when we were on duty together, where is the nostalgia for this place?"

Xiao Tianhe added: "That's why Brother Sun compares himself to Guyun and Brother Liao to a wild crane, and this time they can be transferred to Marshal Xin together, which means 'flying to the sky' together." Am I right?"

Sun Hailiang patted Xiao Tianhe's shoulder and said to Liao Qifeng: "Look, people with literary talents are different." ”

Xiao is not talented, and he added two words in front of Brother Sun's five-word poem to make up seven words, and Brother Liao will see how it is:

Looking back on decades in a hurry,

It's like a snap of a finger.

The wind blows the green mountains and stones as soil,

The sun is steaming, the water is smoking, and the waves are smoking.

Fortunately, the lonely cloud follows the wild crane,

Brothers are destined to fly together.

When you leave, you will look at the descendants,

Laugh and go and don't move. ”

Liao Qifeng laughed at Sun Hailiang and said, "Look at it, compared to the real 'literati'

Brother Xiao just added two words to your poem, and the meaning is much clearer, at least I won't mistake him for wanting to stay. ”

"Brother Liao's praise, in fact, my writing is only half a tone. Xiao Tianhe said with a smile.

Sun Hailiang exclaimed: "If even you are only half a tone, then wouldn't I be a 'quarter' tone?"

"That's enough!'The 'tune' is divided into four, and when you go to the third, as long as you make persistent efforts and remove the last one, you will become completely 'out of tune'!" Liao Qifeng joked.

The three of them laughed in unison, and Lu Xiaoyan's voice came from behind: "I've handed over to Duhailou, let's hurry up and get on the road!"

Marshal Xin's order said that the four of them would report to a camp more than 3,000 miles southwest of Feiyun District in two months. Counting the time, it's quite abundant. It just so happened that the three people who took the team were stuffy enough because they had been staying in Feiyun District for many years and had nothing to do, so they planned to eat, drink and have fun along the way because they took the opportunity of this transfer. As for the funds, the money obtained from winning with high odds in the Wanxian Lou gambling game is worried that there is no place to spend it!

"I said how much did you earn this time?" Xiao Tianhe asked curiously not long after embarking on the journey.

"Hehe, don't ask, it's a lot anyway!" Lu Xiaoyan said as he winked at Liao Qifeng and Sun Hailiang.

"I made so much money at once, I don't know how to spend it!" Liao Qifeng said happily.

Sun Hailiang said with a smile: "Look at your little talent! If you don't know how to spend, give it to me, I'll help you spend!"

"you!"

Looking at the expressions of the three of them when they talked about money, they should have made a fortune.

"Brother Tuo Xiao's blessing, it's the first time I've had the opportunity and ability to use the Tong Treasure Bead card!" Lu Xiaoyan took out a palm-sized green crystal-like thing and played with it in his hand.

The front side is engraved with the word "treasure", and the reverse side is engraved with the Yin and Yang Taiji diagram. This "green crystal" is exactly the same as the bead card given to Xiao Tianhe by Marshal Xin except for the color.

"I said what are you doing in the morning, it turns out that you went to buy this bead card!" Sun Hailiang said, and also took out a bead card, but it was neither green nor purple, but blue, "Later, I also went to buy one!"

Liao Qifeng said: "I've made so much money, of course I can't carry it with me, it's still convenient to store it in the bead card!" After that, he spread out his palm, and he also held a blue bead card in his palm.

"I also have a piece. Xiao Tianhe took out the purple bead card given by Marshal Xin.

Seeing the purple bead card, the three people were startled, and Liao Qifeng hurriedly asked, "Where did you get this brand?"

"Marshal Xin rewarded me!"

The three of them looked at each other in disbelief.

"He also said that there were 30,000 beads in it for me to use. Xiao Tianhe said again.

For some reason, the three of them let out a long breath in unison. Liao Qifeng said: "It turned out that there were only 30,000 pearls, I thought it was full!"

"It just so happens that Marshal Xin didn't elaborate, so you can teach me how to use the beads!"

After the patient explanation of the three of you, Xiao Tianhe finally figured out that the Tong Baozhu card is a kind of money-saving treasure that is common in both the immortal and demon worlds, and it is a kind of thing between magic weapons and mortal things, although the production method is not superb, but it is specially made by specialized craftsmen, and others cannot imitate it.

The bead cards are divided into four tiers, which are distinguished by color. The first level is white, which can save 100,000 beads, Lu Xiaoyan's green bead card is the second grade, which can save 500,000 beads, while the blue bead card is the third grade, which can save 1 million beads, and Xiao Tianhe's purple card is the fourth grade, which can save up to 5 million beads.

So when the three of them saw the purple bead card in Xiao Tianhe's hand, they were all stunned, if that bead card was full of money, it would be worth Liao Qifeng's five thousand years of money!

However, taking this opportunity, Xiao Tianhe also roughly guessed the amount of money won by the three of them in the Wanxian Lou gambling game. Since Lu Xiaoyan bet 40,000 beads at that time, and the deposit did not exceed 500,000 at this time, the highest odds were about 12; Liao Qifeng originally bet 50,000 beads, and now he has used the blue bead card, so the lowest odds are more than 10. In this way, after deducting the capital, the amount of money they earned is about 400,000 to 500,000, which is roughly equivalent to 500 years of money. That's already a windfall!

In addition, Xiao Tianhe also learned about the use of beads. Since the money is not really "stored" in the beads, it cannot be used directly in ordinary buying and selling transactions, and you have to go to the public money houses of the immortals and demons to exchange money. Each bank has a special magic weapon that can modify the amount of money recorded in the beads. In this way, it avoids the inconvenience of delivering and receiving money when trading large amounts, and both parties only need to go to the money bank to jointly modify the amount of money in the beads.

Xiao Tianhe had to admire, compared to the hundreds of taels of gold and silver in the Great Red Realm Qinglong Continent, which had to be packed in boxes and boxes quite troublesomely, this was indeed a very convenient method, and even the "magic coin" system of the Heavenly Flame Continent was slightly inferior to it.

"Since the bead card is so convenient, why didn't you use it before?" Xiao Tianhe asked.

"Do you think that any person can afford to use a bead card? A blue bead card itself costs 30,000 beads. A purple bead like yours is worth 50,000 beads, so the money in your bead is not as valuable as the bead itself. Lu Xiaoyan explained.

"That's right! In the past, we had a little shabby money, and we didn't spend anything to eat and drink, where can we save it?" Sun Hailiang sighed.

Liao Qifeng smiled: "Even if you can save it, you are not willing to buy beads! After all, beads are not magic weapons, there is no use except saving money, it is better to save more to buy a storage ring if you have money to buy it!"

That makes sense.

Xiao Tianhe suddenly thought of another question: "By the way, I only heard that money is how many beads and how many beads, but I have never seen it since I ascended to the Yuyu realm, what kind of thing is that 'bead'? Take it out and show me!"

The three of them didn't take out the money, but you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly smiled knowingly, Liao Qifeng scratched his head and said: "I'm sorry, it's rare to use the bead card, and when I was excited, I saved all the money!"
