A swallow flew into the window and chirped. Xiao Yunfan stretched out a palm, and the swallow obediently landed in his palm. Xiao Yunfan smiled and said, "Little guy, what do you hear?" The swallow chirped a few times, and Xiao Yunfan said, "Oh, I see." Thank you very much. ”

Everyone was amazed, and Yu Nansong said: "Brother Xiao, Yu Mou heard that there are capable people in this world who can understand bird language, and I never thought that Brother Xiao would know such thaumaturgy, which is really eye-opening." Mrs. Yu also chimed in: "Yes, Brother Xiao, what does this swallow say?"

Xiao Yunfan said: "This swallow said that Miss Guan was detained in a firewood room. Huo Zhongyuan said: "In this way, we will be able to save people soon." Xiao Yunfan said: "Master, of course it is easy to save people, but it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not lie in secret, now I don't have the purple jade phoenix you gave me with me, if the other party releases poison, no matter how high our martial arts are, it is inevitable that we will be captured." ”

Huo Zhongyuan frowned and said, "That's right, Brother Xiao can think of other ways." Xiao Yunfan said: "Let Xiao take the lead and find out the situation first." If Xiao is caught in it, you can still deal with it. After hearing this, Yu Nansong stroked his beard and said, "This can only be the case now." ”

At this time, Guan Shanyue interjected: "The hospitality of everyone to rescue the little girl, Guan Mou is grateful for the five. But if I can't say anything as a father, I still ask Brother Xiao to appoint it. Xiao Yunfan said with a smile: "Master Guan, Xiao can understand one or two of your feelings, but the other party's purpose is in "Mountains and Rivers", if you go, it can be said that you will be in the mouth of a sheep." ”

Guan Shanyue said: "Guan is now this daughter, even if the other party wants my life, I am willing to give it." Xiao Yunfan said: "I'm not busy, since Xiao promised to rescue Miss, naturally he won't let the owner of Guan Zhuang go to danger." Huo Zhongyuan persuaded: "Brother Guan, what Brother Xiao said is very true, don't be impatient, I think a few of us will wait for good news." ”

In a hall, Bai Ruoxuan sat on a sandalwood chair in the middle, and Mu Liqi, Chang Li, and two female subordinates sat at the bottom. Bai Ruoxuan was wearing a blue gown, her hands were pressed on the armrests of the chair, and she said faintly: "Although Xiao Yunfan was eliminated this time, it is a pity that the people from the painting hall and the underworld did not take the bait. ”

Mu Liqi looked respectful and said in a deep voice: "Lord, then we will wait for the rest of the work, wait for Guan Shanyue and help the old guy take the bait." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Although the words are good, I faintly feel that there is something wrong with this matter." ”

Chang Li coughed twice and said, "Is there a subordinate who doesn't know whether to say it or not?" Bai Ruoxuan smiled: "You have always been straightforward, when did you become slurred when you spoke." ”

Chang Li said: "My subordinates thought that we didn't see Xiao Yunfan's corpse, could all this be a play that they colluded to do for us?" Bai Ruoxuan frowned and said slightly: "But Xiao Yunfan was killed by Huo Zhongyuan, this is what our people saw with their own eyes, how can it be fake?"

Chang Li bowed his head and said: "My subordinates think that Xiao Yunfan is a tricky person, and he may have used some tricks." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Even if he used the blinding method, that sword was enough for him." Chang Li said: "What the Lord said is true. That's a subordinate's heart. ”

Mu Liqi said: "Brother Chang wasn't scared by Xiao Yunfan, right?" Chang Li sneered: "Hmph, you Mu Liqi didn't let Xiao Yunfan be locked in the box and almost lost his life." ”

Mu Liqi's face was full of anger, and he slapped the table and shouted: "You ......" Bai Ruoxuan's face sank and said: "Shut up." If our own people are not united, even if we lay down the gold and silver mountains, we will lose them sooner or later. You're all the elite of my Dark Chamber, and I don't want you to kill each other. ”

Mu Liqi and Chang Li's faces changed slightly, and they hurriedly said: "It's the subordinates who are reckless." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Do you know what I am most confused about now?" A woman under Mu Liqi thought for a while and said, "My subordinates dare to guess that the Lord is thinking about the Hades Tower and the Painting Hall, why don't you do it?"

Bai Ruoxuan said: "Xiaoxue, then tell me, why don't they do it?" Cheng Xue said: "The subordinates think that there is a possibility, first, the old master appoints other things to them, and they have no time to take care of it;

They're waiting for a more opportune shot. ”

Bai Ruoxuan stretched out her hand and pressed her temples and said: "I think there is a third possibility in this matter, "Mountains and Rivers Kanyu Map" is a trap, waiting for us to be fooled." Mu Liqi was taken aback and said, "The lord means that the old master is going to do something to us?"

Bai Ruoxuan sighed and said, "There is such a possibility." Wei Wuwu, Ji Qianyun is the elite of my Dark Pavilion, and it stands to reason that he will not use the people of my Dark Pavilion anymore, but he only reprimanded me twice, and still left this matter to me.

Ostensibly for my grandmother's sake, in fact he was pushing us into the fire pit little by little. Find an excuse to weaken the power of our Dark Pavilion, so as to completely annex it. The so-called drawing, this matter is as easy as a hand, the people of the underworld and the dark pavilion can also do it, and we are just hanging ropes around our necks. ”

Mu Liqi gasped and said: "If the door master really has such a mind, wouldn't our brother who died before be very wronged?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "Yes, our previous brothers all sacrificed their lives in vain, and all this is just to achieve the great cause of the door master."

Maybe this plan was a dead end from the beginning, and even if we got the map back, the owner would still choose to do it. Chang Li groaned for a moment, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and he sighed in a low voice: "If that's the case, we can't go back." ”

Bai Ruoxuan had a little sadness in her eyes, and said slowly: "I have thought about it, the big guy has worked hard for the dark pavilion all these years, and he has worked hard without merit, so I don't want to see you end well." As she spoke, she clapped her palms and said, "Come on, bring things up." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, several strong men carried up four tin boxes. The four of them looked at each other, and Bai Ruoxuan said: "Each of these boxes contains 100,000 taels of silver, which is enough for you to live for the rest of your life." ”

When the four of them heard this, they immediately stood up and arched their hands: "Lord, we ......" Bai Ruoxuan said: "Is it too little?" Cheng Xue said: "No, Lord, please let me stay by your side, Ah Xue is willing to serve you for the rest of my life." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Under the nest, Ann has finished his eggs? The dark pavilion is now gone, let the brothers find their own way out." ”

Mu Liqi said: "I don't know what the old master means?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "What I mean is what grandma means." Chang Li raised his head and said, "Lord, I don't want this silver." I will feed my brothers. So saying, he strode out of the house.

Bai Ruoxuan looked at the silver in the box and said, "Ali doesn't want it, then you can share more." The farther away you took the money, the better. With that, she stood up and turned and walked back into the back hall. Mu Liqi glanced at the second daughter and said, "I'll only take my share." As he spoke, he instructed two strong men to carry away a tin box.

Cheng Xue stood in place, her fists clenched, and the green tendons on the back of her hands were bulging. The other woman beside her frowned and said, "I'll only take mine." Cheng Xue said: "Ah Chan, don't you care about the friendship between master and servant?" Ah Chan said: "The lord has said everything about this, what else can I insist on? Ah Xue, when the disaster comes, they fly separately." With that, she turned to leave.

Bai Ruoxuan returned to the inner hall, looked at the parrot and smiled bitterly: "Qingcai, do you say it's right for me to do this?" The parrot opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Yunfan, it's dead, Xiao Yunfan, it's dead." Bai Ruoxuan said thoughtfully: "Yes, he is dead, and he is dead......"

When they were gone, a maidservant girl opened the beaded curtain and walked into the house. Bai Ruoxuan said: "They're all gone, right?" The maid said: "Yes, Lord, Sister Cheng asked me to tell you that she doesn't want silver, if you send her to serve at any time." Bai Ruoxuan smiled bitterly: "It's hard for her to have a heart, you tell her that if she really wants to save her life, she can only go back to Tatar." ”

After a while, another maid walked in, and Bai Ruoxuan said, "Xiaoyuan, what's the matter?" The maid said with a pale face: "Xiao ...... Xiao Yunfan asked to see. "It turned out that everyone in the Dark Pavilion had seen Xiao Yunfan's portrait.

Bai Ruoxuan was stunned at first, and then a strange brilliance flashed in her eyes and said, "Okay, since he came to the door, then I will please." ”

After a while, Bai Ruoxuan walked out from behind the screen. Xiao Yunfan sat down on the chair with a calm expression, and when he saw Bai Ruoxuan come out, he smiled and said, "Hello, white girl." Originally, Bai Ruoxuan would be very surprised when he appeared, but the other party's demeanor was calm, and he felt a trace of loss in his heart.

Bai Ruoxuan sat down and said lightly: "Your Excellency's life is very hard. ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "Yes, I did disappoint the girl." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Your Excellency came to the door to settle accounts with me?" Xiao Yunfan said: "What should be counted is still to be calculated." Bai Ruoxuan picked up the tea, took a sip and said, "I don't know what algorithm you plan to use?"

Xiao Yunfan said: "The girl's clever plan almost cost Xiao his life, do you want to pay me for my life?" Bai Ruoxuan smiled: "Okay." Since Your Excellency wants my life, then you can come and take it. Xiao Yunfan said: "The girl is refreshing." ”

When the maidservants beside Bai Ruoxuan heard this, they all drew their swords and surrounded Xiao Yunfan. Bai Ruoxuan said: "You all retreat, this is a grudge between me and him." The handmaidens said: "But ......" Bai Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows and said: "What I said, you should be in a deaf ear?" The handmaidens had to put away their long swords and hang their heads.

Xiao Yunfan said: "Before settling the account, I want to ask the girl to release the eldest lady of the Guan family." Bai Ruoxuan said: "You are afraid that I won't be able to beat you, so I will threaten you with Miss Guan." Xiao Yunfan did not deny it. Bai Ruoxuan said to the maidservant girl named Xiaoyuan: "Go, prepare a carriage and send Miss Guan Jia back." ”

Bai Ruoxuan's behavior made Xiao Yunfan puzzled. Bai Ruoxuan saw the puzzled look in his eyes, and smiled: "Why do you think I'm lying to you?" Xiao Yunfan said: "I have been a girl once, so naturally I won't go to it a second time." ”

Bai Ruoxuan said lightly: "Your Excellency can wait here to see if I have lied to you." Xiao Yunfan was puzzled: "You are doing everything possible to seize the picture of the Guan family, how can you easily release people?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "I do things depending on my mood, I am in a good mood now, so I plan to release her." ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "Won't you get another fake Miss Guan?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "Whatever you think, people, I will release it if I say it, and I won't make a fuss." If you want to collect debts, then please do it. Xiao Yunfan touched his nose and said strangely: "I want to collect debts, but not necessarily today." That day, the girl asked me to be in Huansha Lake, and Xiao lost to you. Then let's have a showdown at Huansha Lake. ”

Bai Ruoxuan said: "Okay, you set the time." Xiao Yunfan said: "Then tomorrow at noon." ”
