Volume V, Chapter 24: Transactions

Since Xiao Shifeng secretly went south, the palace has basically been closed, except for the general on the street outside the palace gate, but there are people coming and going from time to time. In the past few days, most of them are letter soldiers who have come to the front line to report the battle situation, and Xiao Tiantu rarely goes out.

In the dead of night, Xiao Tiantu waited for a distinguished guest.

This person was wearing a hat, a robe, and a straight waist, and when he saw Xiao Tiantu, he took off the robe and hat.

The door was closed, and Xiao Tiantu said, "Wood Woman, long time no see." ”

It turns out that this person is Mu Sanniang!

Mu Sanniang sneered, in his eyes, this Xiao Tiantu was just a villain who could make a deal.

After taking a seat, Mu Sanniang looked at the good food and wine on the table, and did not mean to put down chopsticks.

Xiao Tiantu frowned: "What's the matter? These dishes don't suit the wood woman's appetite?"

Mu Sanniang said coldly: "General, you brought me the secret book of the Six Divine Skills?"

Xiao Tiantu knew that she had this question, so he replied: "Patriarch Shangguan doesn't agree, and I don't have any chips in my hand, so I really can't help it." ”

"So, there's nothing more to talk about. Mu Sanniang treated Xiao Tiantu's banquet with a cold face, and was about to get up, Xiao Tiantu called her: "Sanniang, don't be in a hurry to leave first." ”

Mu Sanniang said slightly: "General, my Mu Sanniang has a bad temper, the untrustworthy people I met in this life have all died under my hands, although I can't kill you, but you must not look down on me Mu Sanniang." ”

Xiao Tiantu said with a smile: "How can it be, it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, since I invited Sanniang to come over, it must be a better bargaining chip than the Six Divine Skill cheats." ”

Mu Sanniang frowned: "Let's hear it." ”

Xiao Tiantu looked at Mu Sanniang, and as he spoke, he observed Mu Sanniang's expression: "I have news from Xiao Lang here, are you interested?"

"What?" Mu Sanniang's reaction was a bit big, she spent her whole life looking for Xiao Lang, but there was no news, this Xiao Tiantu actually had news, she looked at Xiao Tiantu with a little suspicion.

Xiao Tiantu said: "You don't have to doubt me, I dare to say, there must be." ”

Mu Sanniang sneered again, lifted a glass of soju on the table and drank it all.

Xiao Tiantu said again: "In three years, you killed thirteen of my subordinates, and finally left the fourteenth alive, that person, who has been searching for Xiao Lang's residence on my orders for the past few years, and finally got the result some time ago." ”

Mu Sanniang looked ahead and did not look at Xiao Tiantu.

Three years ago, she really killed thirteen people, and one a day, until she saw that the fourteenth person was still childish, Mu Sanniang softened her heart and picked up the identical letter from the ground.

Opening the letter, Mu Sanniang was a little surprised, in the letter, Xiao Tiantu asked Mu Sanniang to go to Shangguan Mansion to kill Shangguan Jinfeng, and was willing to exchange a jade pendant left by Xiao Lang above Suolong Valley back then, and this exchange of jade pendant, Xiao Tiantu has ordered someone to put it on a willow tree under the mountain, Mu Sanniang went down the mountain to get it, there is really it.

Thinking of this, Mu Sanniang said sarcastically: "The general is really merciful, knowing my temperament, let these thirteen young people come to die one after another, the general is so generous!"

Xiao Tiantu said lightly: "They were orphans, and I gave them more than ten years of prosperity. “

It turned out that Xiao Tiantu also had a group of about 100 Nighthawk spy organizations under his command, all of which were trained by Yi Wentong, specially used to find people and spy on the military situation in the frontier. And after Tuoba Hong entered the country, he was cautious and cultivated deeply, which gave these secret agents the opportunity to follow.

That day, Tuoba Hong and Xiao Lang fought in the valley, and the spy didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he hurried back after only one glance.

Mu Sanniang squinted her eyes and looked at Xiao Tiantu: "It is said that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and the general has to do such a big thing, there must be a lot of people who died under his hands." “

Xiao Tiantu's expression moved slightly, and he was a little displeased, this scene made Mu Sanniang look at it in his eyes, and he was a little happy. Mu Sanniang was like a crazy woman, and smiled and toasted Xiao Tiantu with a glass of wine.

Xiao Tiantu didn't return the salute, but said: "I don't blame you for breaking the appointment three years ago." Three years later, I will use Xiao Lang's location as a bargaining chip, for you, you should be willing. “

Mu Sanniang stopped taking the wine, also stopped smiling, and looked at Xiao Tiantu with murderous eyes: "Does the general really think that Xiao Lang is very important to me? If the general really finds him, he must be in a hurry to kill people, right?"

The two looked at each other and laughed, and after a while, Xiao Tiantu said: "The Wood Lady imagines me as a butcher." The court also did its best to hide the things of that year, and there was nothing to hide. “

Mu Sanniang's gaze shifted, and she sneered and drank another glass of wine. She knew that Xiao Tiantu was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but what could he do?

When Xiao Tiantu said this, he also drank a cup by himself, and after putting down the cup, he quietly watched Mu Sanniang cup after cup, and knew that he had touched the softest part of Mu Sanniang's heart.

Xiao Tiantu said meaningfully: "I don't understand this red dust and mundane things, but I have seen many times in my life that I have parted from life and death. I think the most regrettable thing in life is that until the moment of death, I didn't think that the person I should see had not yet seen, and I struggled to support it, but I didn't come for a long time. Alas, alas. “

With a 'bang', Mu Sanniang put the wine glass back on the table and looked at Xiao Lang with drunkenness: "The general really thinks he can see through people's hearts?"

Xiao Tiantu said lightly: "What I look at is not people's hearts, but human nature." “

Mu Sanniang smiled: "Then dare to ask the general, do you want to tell Sanniang something?"

Xiao Tiantu said: "I don't want to go south along the official road of Luzhou in the future, if you see Xiao Lang, you will go north along the official road, to this Taiping City, if you don't meet me, you will continue to go freely, if you meet me on the road, let's talk again." “

Mu Sanniang hesitated a little after hearing this: "It's as simple as that?"

Xiao Tiantu leaned back in the chair, sighed deeply and said, "It's useless to talk too much." If Sanniang can persuade Xiao Lang to go north with you, then it will be good, if not, please tell him that His Majesty needs him, please go to Taiqing Mountain for a while. ”

Mu Sanniang frowned: "The general turned out to be selfish and wanted me to be a lobbyist." ”

Xiao Tiantu said lightly: "The world is for the public, where is there any selfishness." “

Mu Sanniang sneered: "The face of the general is really hypocritical. “

Xiao Tiantu said: "If you don't go, then let's go, you are welcome to come to the General's Mansion again at any time." “

Mu Sanniang stood up and asked, "Say, where is he?"

Xiao Tiantu clapped his hands, and in front of the palace door, a black shadow fell, silently, with a wide robe, standing quietly on the ground.

Xiao Tiantu said: "You go with him." “
