And when Pei Jingnian borrowed the waist card to get the horses at the post station, far away in the Anhuai Mansion, Na Yanjie was restless, sleepless day and night, he had already received three letters from the valley lord of the Chiyan Valley, urging him to get the rest of the "Snow Scroll" as soon as possible, but things seemed to be a little out of his control. Pei Jingnian has not regularly flown pigeons to return to Anhuai according to his orders for a long time. Where she is at this time, suitable for planning, Yan Jie doesn't know.

I'm anxious, but there's nothing I can do. He only paced in the room, and in his anger, he tore the wooden case to the ground, and took two steps back, panting and angry. The scrolls rolled to the ground, and the servants and maids standing around were shocked by this move, and did not dare to step forward to dissuade them, so they could only sit down on their knees and clean up the scrolls scattered all over the ground. But Yan Jie punched and kicked them, shouting: "Get out, get out of the house!"

The subordinates were helpless, and hurriedly withdrew from the inner hall, and closed the door of the room, not daring to stay at the door, and scattered away. And the guards at the door heard the movement in the house, although they didn't know why Lord Yin was angry, but they knew that they couldn't provoke Yan Jie at this time, and they all pushed away quite familiarly.

Yan Jie stood alone in the room, trembling with anger, and almost concluded that Pei Jingnian had betrayed him, so he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Pei Jingnian! Don't think that you will be subject to the life of the king outside, you can't help you in the rivers and lakes, you don't forget, your family is in the city! I will wait for three more days, if there is no response within three days, you will be put on death row!"

At this moment, there was a sudden rush knock on the door outside the door, and Yan Jie asked angrily: "What's the matter?" The official outside the door replied: "Back to your lordship, someone from the Anhuai Yanzhou Tonglu Post Station came to report and asked to see your lordship." "No, no!" At this time, Yan Jie was angry, and naturally he didn't want to be bothered by other things. But the official said: "Someone said that there was something important to report, saying that it was related to Pei Zhutou?"

Yan Jie, who was still dull before, heard this, his tightly knit brows finally opened, and his eyes released a shrewd light, and he hurriedly said: "Quick, quickly invite someone to the back hall to talk, and set up tea and wait!" Then he asked his subordinates to set up tea in the back hall to entertain the officers and soldiers of the post station, and he changed his clothes and entered the hall. Yan Jie put on an image of sympathy for his subordinates, stepped forward to help him up, patted the back of his hand and said with a smile: "This way, is it smooth?"

"Thanksgiving, everything goes well. The man replied. Yan Jie then asked, "What is the purpose of your trip?, but do you have anything to say to me?" The messenger glanced at the maids and servants waiting on both sides, and when Yan Jie saw this, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat, leaving only two people in the room.

The messenger took out Pei Jingnian's waist card, held it with both hands and handed it to Yan Jie, and said: "It's not a big deal, Pei Zhutou, who has just been in Anhuai Mansion, used this waist card as collateral, saying that he was assigned by Lord Yin to go to Yanzhou Mansion to perform official duties. Because of the water thieves and lost their strength, so they borrowed a few fast horses in the post station, and their subordinates were ordered by the post master to come to verify. I don't know if this thing is the waist card of the Anhuai Mansion. ”

When Yan Jie heard this, he took the token and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully for a while, and sure enough, it was Pei Jingnian's communication waist card. Only then did he know that Pei Jingnian had already gotten along with Shen Cuttlefish and others, and now she went to Yanzhou Mansion together to gain their trust, laying the foundation for future plans, and since she was willing to go to the post station to borrow a horse and expose her whereabouts, it was estimated that she was also taking this opportunity to reveal their route of action to Yan Jie.

Only then did I understand Pei Jingnian's good intentions, and the lack of flying pigeons was mostly because he encountered some unexpected situation and had no chance. Yan Jie was overjoyed in his heart, so he also said for Pei Jingnian: "Yes, this is the pass waist card of my Anhuai Mansion, Jingnian is my most powerful assistant and subordinate, and this trip is indeed sent by the government to Yanzhou Mansion to perform official duties, you can explain this matter to Lord Chen." ”

When the messenger heard this, he was about to take the order and leave, and Yan Jie rewarded the messenger again, and the messenger thanked him again and again, and then hurried back to the post station to return to the post man. Yan Jie also breathed a sigh of relief, presumably after Pei Jingnian arrived in Yanzhou Mansion, he would try to send a letter back to Anhuai, explaining to Yan Jie all the plans that had been changed recently, as well as the whereabouts of the "Snow Scroll".

Yan Jie sat alone in the back hall, in a good mood, was about to splash ink and wave a piece, just laid out the rice paper, put on the paperweight, lifted the brush, and before the pen was put down, he heard a question: "Lord Yan is so Yaxing." Yan Jie hurriedly looked up when he heard the sound, and saw that the person who came was wearing a red robe and a dark square brocade hat, but he was wearing a pure white mask, and a scarlet swallow was engraved under his eyes. Yan Jie's eyes widened, and the brush in his hand slipped quietly and landed on the clean rice paper, throwing out many ink spots.

"You, you, when did you come in!" Yan Jie hurriedly pointed to the valley lord of Chiyan Valley, a little flustered, and stammered nervously. The Lord of Chiyan Valley smiled, his footsteps moved lightly, and he pressed towards Yan Jie, and slowly replied: "I said earlier, I am everywhere, you can't hide or hide, I watch your every move all the time, haunting you like a ghost, until you fulfill the promise between us." ”

Yan Jie retreated again and again, stumbling on his feet, falling to the ground, still holding his back with both hands, and constantly moving backwards, but the Chiyan Valley Lord was still pressing step by step, not giving an inch. "I haven't already given you five fragments of the snow scroll, the second half, I have already sent someone to get it, and if it is not more than three or five months, there will definitely be an echo!" Yan Jie hurriedly explained.

But the valley lord of Chiyan Valley didn't eat this set of prevarications, and casually threw all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the wooden case next to him on the ground, and then supported the wooden case with both hands and jumped back and sat on the case, cocked Erlang's legs, and pressed his toes against Na Yanjie's jaw. Yan Jie's eyes cracked, sweat burst out, his cheeks were red, his forehead was bruised, and his temples were beating rapidly, he was originally the lord of a mansion, the dignified lord of the mansion, how could he have been so humiliated? But he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, these people in the rivers and lakes have always had no king's law, and they violated the ban by force, in their opinion, killing a court official is just a very common thing.

"Lord Yan, you don't really think I'm so easy to fool, do you think you can fool me by getting a few fake secret tips?" The Chiyan Valley Lord teased coldly, and the beads of sweat on Yan Jie's forehead rolled down and dripped on the pure white toe of his shoes. Yan Jie laughed dryly, gently pushed her feet away with his hand, and asked cautiously: "How do you know that the scroll in the snow is fake? I am not a person in the rivers and lakes, I can't understand the secret, how can I tell the truth from the fake?"

The Lord of Chiyan Valley sneered and said: "Lord Yan, how long did I give you, how much money did I give you, but why did your promise to me not make any progress for a long time, you don't want to fool me with that messy mess, I warn you, don't think about playing tricks in front of me, otherwise, it will be like this table!"

Yan Jie was in a trance, and the Chiyan Valley Lord disappeared, but as soon as her figure disappeared, the complete wooden case suddenly exploded, and after a loud "bang", it turned into powder, and Yan Jie's legs were weak, trembling, and trembling. The guards outside the house heard the loud noise in the back hall, and hurriedly arrived, but they didn't dare to trespass, so they had to knock on the door and shout urgently: "My lord, my lord, are you okay!" Yan Jie closed his eyes slightly, his face turned pale, he raised his hand tremblingly, wiped away the sweat beads on his forehead, and replied: "It's nothing, you all retreat, the mansion is going to rest." ”

After today's incident, everyone in Anhuai Mansion knows that Lord Yin of the Mansion suffered from the cold, was bedridden, and could not be promoted to the court to ask questions, and the official affairs in the mansion were also backlogged in the warehouse, and Yan Jie was closed all day, only two personal maids waited in the morning and evening. Yan Jie also took this opportunity to meditate and cultivate, waiting for Pei Jingnian's reply.

And the four protectors of the Golden Lotus around the Phoenix Tower returned to Beiguan together. Lord Jin Xuan sat behind the bead curtain again, and saw the four of them kneeling in the hall, he had already expected seven or eight points, but he also deliberately asked: "How is this mission completed?" Zhu Hao said bluntly: "I can't finish it, I am guilty, please surrender the guilt!" Bai Wushou couldn't stop it, Zhu Hao had already made a statement, so he had to explain in agreement: "We have already disturbed the helm of the Whale Shark Gangjiangnan, and took advantage of the chaos to snatch out the Shen cuttlefish, how can we ......?"

"Why was someone robbed halfway, the robber is strong in martial arts, you are not an opponent, I said, right?" Lord Jin Xuan said with a sneer. The four of them were shocked when they heard this, dumbfounded, and looked at each other, all silent. As the eldest brother, Cen Duan stepped forward and bowed: "The failure of this mission is all because of one person's fault, and his subordinates deserve death, and I ask the lord to execute me in accordance with the rules of the door, so that the canonical punishment can be clarified!"

Lord Jin Xuan just glanced at him slightly, sighed lightly, raised his red lips again, and sneered: "Since you are bent on death, then I will give you a ride!"

Cen Du's body suddenly became light and fluttering, like a paper figure fluttering in the wind, and the mask exploded, turning into pieces and falling one after another. Revealing that extremely handsome face, but his facial features were distorted, his face was pale and bloodless, and he floated towards the Lord of Jin Xuan, crashed into the bead curtain, and the snow-white five fingers clasped Cen Du's neck tightly, and with a slight force, he fell into the flesh and skin.

I saw that Na Cen's eyes were protruding, the green tendons on his neck and forehead appeared, his cheeks were purple and red, his breath was chaotic, he came out more and entered less, his hands and feet spasmed, and he was about to be strangled to death by the Lord Jin Xuan, but the other three people were hanging their heads, and they were already in tears.
