Chapter 645: Life and Death (3)
"What does the mansion master mean......" Huang Yulang rolled his eyes and said tentatively, "There is a problem with the opera troupe that Liu Xunyi is looking for, they will set up an ambush in the east courtyard tonight, intending to deal with the mansion master." And the lord of the mansion wants to use his own way to govern his people, but instead lead them into the net he has laid in the heavens and the earth?"
"That's pretty much. In the face of Huang Yulang's speculation, Luo Tianjin could not deny it.
"But...... The disciples in the mansion have all been sent out by Liu Xunyi to patrol, how can Murong Bai and Deng Quan set up an ambush?" Deng Changchuan's words hit the nail on the head, "Could it be that the mansion master has secretly recalled the eight disciples?"
In this regard, Luo Tianjin smiled slightly, but did not answer directly, but deliberately prevaricated: "I know you have doubts, but when this matter is explained, I am afraid that it will not be clear when it comes to Tianming." All in all, the matter of the Eastern Courtyard was resolved by me personally, and no one needed to interfere. Keep an eye on the others and beware of any change. ”
Deng Changchuan didn't seem to understand, and hesitated: "When the mansion master said 'beware of change' and 'others', I don't know what he was referring to......"
"Madame and the Wudang faction. Xie Xuan blurted out, "Later, one of you will go to monitor Madame, and the other will go to monitor Qingfeng Dao Chief, as long as they have the slightest change, they will return to me immediately." Remember, it is a matter of life and death, so be careful and never be careless. ”
"This ......"
The sudden upheaval had already made Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang uneasy, and at this moment, they heard Xie Xuan say such grim words as "it is a matter of life and death", and they were even more worried at the moment.
Although they were vaguely aware of the cause and effect, the two of them had a vague sense that tonight's events seemed far more urgent and dangerous than they expected.
"What Xie Xuan said is good, tonight is a matter of life and death, and it should not be taken lightly. Luo Tianjin said with a straight face, "I hope that Ling Xiaoxiao and the Wudang Sect will do everything as usual, so they will be very happy." If ......"
As for this, Luo Tianjin's gaze at Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang suddenly softened a lot, and he said worriedly: "If something happens, you must protect yourself, protect yourself, and deal with everything flexibly, and you must not ...... Hurt your own life. You are my brothers in life and death, and I don't want anything to happen to anyone. ”
Luo Tianjin's words made Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang surprised and moved their hearts at the same time.
The two knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Luo Tianjin. Deng Changchuan said righteously: "The lord of the mansion has the grace of knowing and cultivating us, and the two of us have nothing to repay." Even if you are broken today, you will die without regrets!"
"Hugh wants to talk nonsense, what 'broken bones', 'death without regrets', it's just nonsense!" Luo Tianjin said unhappily.
Xie Xuan took advantage of the situation to reassure: "Let you spy on Madame and Qingfeng Dao Chief, just in case, you two don't have to be too nervous." ”
"Not bad!" Luo Tianjin suppressed the worries in his heart, so as to force a smile, "When this matter is over, I will open a few jars of good wine, drink with you, and never get drunk." ”
"I don't know something, I dare to ask the mansion lord to show me!" Huang Yulang hesitated, "Zhao Yuan and Liu Xunyi are traitors of the imperial court, and it is reasonable for the mansion lord to be wary of them." Mrs. Ke...... After all, it's his own family, so why does the lord of the house ......"
Hearing this, Luo Tianjin's expression stiffened slightly, as if he was quite entangled in his heart, but seeing that Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang were both puzzled and curious, he couldn't help but sigh and laugh at himself: "As the saying goes, 'family ugliness should not be publicized', but I have long regarded you as my own family, so I don't have to deliberately hide it." In fact, Ling Xiaoxiao and I have long since separated from Germany, and the relationship between husband and wife exists in name only. Not long ago, she carried me to Xiangyun Silk Village to have a secret meeting with Zhao Yuan, and I was worried...... She will collude with Zhao Yuan to my detriment, so I have you keep an eye on Ling Xiaoxiao to prevent changes. ”
"How is this possible......"
"Bang, bang!"
When the conversation in the study was in full swing, there was a sudden knock on the closed door, which made Luo Tianjin's face change and his eyes became more and more solemn.
"Who?"
"Qiqi Mansion Master, a strange thing happened in front of the middle hall just now. The voice outside the door was Luo Tianjin's cronies and disciples who had been sent to spy on Ling Xiaoxiao.
Hearing this, Luo Tianjin couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the strange thing?"
"Just now, Madame brought a bowl of ginger soup to the guests to ward off the cold and sober up the wine. After everyone took it...... They fell asleep one after another, and even fell unconscious. ”
"Sure enough, something happened!"
The muscles on Xie Xuan's face trembled violently, and at the same time, he cast a melancholy gaze on Luo Tianjin, as if observing his reaction.
"Everyone takes the ginger soup?"
"Yes. The disciple replied, "Because it was a gift from the lady, the guests couldn't bear to refuse." ”
"The people of the Wudang Sect also drank?"
"Drink it, and see it with your own eyes. ”
"Got it! You send them back to their rooms to rest so that they don't catch the cold. Luo Tianjin was in danger, and ordered in an orderly manner, "Continue to keep an eye on Ling Xiaoxiao, and tell Xie Xuan at any time if there is any movement." ”
"Yes!"
With the sound of footsteps fading away, the disciple was soon silenced.
Luo Tianjin's eyes swelled with cold light, and he said with a smile: "Ling Xiaoxiao really betrayed me, so I don't have to miss her old feelings anymore! Liu Xunyi helped Zhao Yuan lure away the disciples in the mansion and set up an ambush in the east courtyard. Ling Xiaoxiao drugged the guests to make it easier for Zhao Yuan to do it. As a result, there are only a few old and weak soldiers left in the house, and you and I are left, and they think that by cutting off all my wings, they can bully the weak and push me into a desperate situation, which is not evil. ”
"Sure enough, as the mansion master expected, the biggest trouble tonight is indeed Zhao Yuan. Xie Xuan said admiringly, "Fortunately, everything is under our control." ”
As for this, Xie Xuan's eyes darkened, and he comforted: "Although Madam secretly helped Zhao Yuan, she did not intervene directly, which can be regarded as the husband and wife relationship between Gu Nian and the mansion master." Therefore, she can only be considered an accomplice, not a mastermind, after this incident...... The lord of the mansion doesn't have to be too harsh, after all, the Wudang faction has deep roots in the rivers and lakes, and we are too stiff with them, which will not benefit each other......"
"Whether he is an accomplice or not, whether he will interfere or not, it is too early to tell. Luo Tianjin's tone was not good, as if she had a lot of resentment towards Ling Xiaoxiao, "Moreover, betrayal is betrayal, don't say that she has put it into action, even if she just moves her mind, even if it is just the slightest evil thought, it is undoubtedly betrayal." As for Wudang...... Master, his old man has always been self-cultivation and purity, high morality, and jealousy of evil, so in the face of Ling Xiaoxiao's evil deeds, even if his old man will not kill his relatives in righteousness, he will definitely not help the abuse. As long as Master does not interfere, our relationship with the Wudang Sect will not be incompatible. And Zheng Songren and Zhang Songyi, these young disciples, are not mentally mature, and they will inevitably be bewitched by Ling Xiaoxiao, even if they are wrong, they cannot be counted on the head of the Wudang faction. ”
"This ......"
Deng Changchuan and Huang Yulang glanced at each other, both of them were ignorant and at a loss.
"Brother Xie, you will sit in the middle hall tonight and preside over the overall situation. Luo Tianjin's words changed sharply and arranged, "Changchuan and Yulang are watching in front, and you call the remaining disciples to stand by in the middle hall in case of emergency." Tonight, if Ling Xiaoxiao doesn't change, it's okay. If something happens, you need to respond in time to prevent the situation from getting out of our control. ”
"Yes......" Xie Xuan thought for a moment and looked embarrassed, "Mansion Master, I don't know if I should say something?"
"When are you still selling Guanzi?" Luo Tianjin said impatiently, "Say it quickly!"
"Obey!" Xie Xuan said in fear, "Just now, the lord of the mansion expected that the Wudang faction would not help the abuse, but what if...... I mean, in case the Wudang Sect intervenes......" Xie Xuan said as he cautiously observed Luo Tianjin's reaction, and said, "In other words, if the Qingfeng Dao Leader cares, it will be chaotic, and even ...... How do we deal with it ourselves?"
Just this one word, Luo Tianjin's brows suddenly frowned, he pondered for a moment, and nodded slowly: "What Brother Xie said is all reasonable, in case the master loves his daughter, it is inevitable that he will do something foolish, and the result is indeed unpredictable." ”
"Then we ......"
"Brother Xie, if this is the case, you will come forward to negotiate peace with Qingfeng Dao. Luo Tianjin immediately made a decision and advised, "This time there are not only Qingfeng Dao Chiefs, but also the two seniors of Guyue and Lone Star, if they shoot together, it will be difficult for you to resist." Therefore, do not clash with them head-on unless absolutely necessary, and try to persuade them as well as possible and end peacefully. Tomorrow, I'll take care of the rest of the trouble myself, and you don't need to worry about this section. In short, I don't ask you to do merit tonight, but I want you to do nothing. ”
"Obey!" Xie Xuan and the three of them looked righteous and received the order in unison.
"Also, after Zhao Yuan appears, I will order someone to seal the gate of the East Courtyard, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave until the matter is over. Luo Tianjin thought carefully and said slowly, "Therefore, all matters outside are decided by Brother Xie alone, I want to concentrate on dealing with Zhao Yuan, and no one will go to the East Courtyard to disturb me." Those who violate the order will be severely punished!"
"Yes!"
In fact, Luo Tianjin sealed the gate of the East Courtyard and did not let anyone disturb him, the real purpose was to prevent the news of the "Royal Forest Army" from leaking.
In Luo Tianjin's heart, the time is not yet ripe, so he doesn't want too many people to know the secret of his secret recruitment.
He was already secretly determined in his heart that tonight's East Courtyard would definitely experience a bloody battle, and in the end, except for Murong Bai and Deng Quan, the only ones who could walk out of the gate of the East Courtyard alive would be himself and Liu Xunyi.
Because the dead can't speak, the secrets of the "Imperial Guards" will be protected to the greatest extent.
"Now that the mansion master has guessed all of Zhao Yuan's thoughts, I don't know what to do next...... What's going to happen?"
Facing Huang Yulang's inquiry, a faint glow flashed in Luo Tianjin's eyes, and he muttered, "Next, he should arrive!"
"He, who is he......"
"Bang, bang!"
Before Deng Changchuan's words fell, another knock on the door came unexpectedly, interrupting the thoughts of several people again.
The corners of Luo Tianjin's mouth twitched suddenly, his heart was either nervous or excited, and he swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, and then in the worried eyes of Xie Xuan and the others, he asked outside the door in as calm a tone as possible: "Who is it?"
"Mansion Master, below...... Liu Xunyi!"
