Jiutian lost her mind and muttered, Yan Ling seemed to see how many clues she had between her words, and stepped forward and put her hand on her shoulder: "When did you have this idea?"
"What do you mean?" Jiutian was startled, and he realized that he had just lost his words, and hurriedly forcibly covered it up.
Yan Ling didn't have the slightest intention of asking when he spoke again, but aimed to verify: "You and I are derived from one soul, and there are some things that we can't hide from each other no matter what. I'll just ask: Have you had this in mind since we first met?"
Fortunately, there was no one else in the Buried Cloud Valley at this moment, and she didn't need to hide it too much, so she replied in resignation: "It should be the same as you, since the first time we met, this kind of undesirable idea was born. ”
"I see......"
After pondering for a while, Yan Ling seemed to have made up his mind, and asked Jiutian again: "Sister Jiutian, it is about my and Yun'er's 'plan', I wonder if you can help?"
Say. ”
Jiutian's answer was concise and clear, without even the slightest hesitation.
......
Qixia Fort turned into ruins silently, shocking the world. Even after a full month, the aftermath is still the same, and there is no sign of calming down. Whether it is the heroes of the rivers and lakes or the pawns of the peddlers, they are amazed by this, and at the same time, they are also speculating about the actions made by the sea of blood. Under the divergent opinions, some people naturally speculated that the Blood Sea was no longer willing to be controlled by the Tang Dynasty and vowed to get out of its framework, while others believed that Qixia Fort was secretly shielding the remnants of the underworld, provoking the arrival of the Blood Sea Shadow Hall's killing star, which directly led to such a catastrophe. It's just that no matter how they deliberate, as the one who started such a turmoil, Xuehai has remained silent and has not made the slightest response, even if it is above the court, hundreds of officials jointly ask for a performance, bitterly Chen Xuehai's repeated accusations, and begging Xuanzong to send down thunderous sanctions, Cheng Youlu still sticks to his own fortified city, ignoring it, and letting them jump up and down in the Jinluan Hall like a play.
All of a sudden, the prestige of the sea of blood, the name of the murderous shadow, and the fame of the land resounded all over the world, shocking the Central Plains.
Just when the outside world was boiling over the destruction of Qixia Castle and worried about the arrogant attitude of the perpetrators, the Blood Sea City was also in chaos in the silent whirlpool.
Although Cheng Youlu, as the lord of the sea of blood, did not interfere easily, Qixia Fort was rich and rivaled the country, and the details of the event, such as the seizure of its spoils, were inevitably taken over by the second hall of wild waves and heavy rain. Over the past few days, he has seen the details of the ledger after counting, and the number of them is so large that he is dizzy. As for Mo Lengyan, Yin Bingxin and the rest of the people who personally counted them, judging from the bloodshot eyes, it was self-evident that the huge loss of mind had already been overlooked.
At the same time, there are two other things that make it difficult for Cheng Youlu to deal with them calmly.
The hall master of the Absolute Shadow Hall, who personally killed Duan Huanshan and Zhang Jin, is cold, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Zhu Jiutian, the deputy hall master who was named "a thousand thoughts and a thousand slashes" by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, also did not appear.
Among the members of the Absolute Shadow Hall who are now staying in Blood Sea City, in addition to the thirty-six seniors, there are only Xiao Jing, who is still in the age of Zhixue, and Huo Feiyu and Sun Zicheng, who are just named.
It was another noon, Cheng Youlu finally read all the lists of Qixia Fort at this time, and after throwing the last account book aside, he took a long breath of turbidity as if relieved, and at the same time gently rubbed his temples to nourish his mind.
Qixia Fort has focused on collecting money over the years, and its results have been fruitful, which has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, just this mortal property, to read it all over has called Cheng Youlu a great waste, plus some unheard of treasures of heaven and earth, I am afraid that it has already exceeded the total income of the Tang Dynasty's 100-year treasury. Fortunately, now that the inventory was finally completed, he no longer had to touch such tedious affairs in the company of surprise.
Now the only thing that makes him hesitate is how to deal with this batch of "loot" coveted by outsiders.
Although Qixia Fort has a lot of property in the mortal world, with the many years of blood sea city, there is no need to care too much, Cheng Youlu already has a plan to hand it over to the imperial court. However, those natural treasures, the world's eyes can't tell their value at all, if they are handed over rashly, I am afraid that they will cause a lot of trouble. But if you don't report it, it will fall into the eyes of those who have a heart, and I'm afraid there will be rumors again.
"If the Ancestor is here now, you can also ask him for instructions. It's a pity that since the battle of Qixia Castle, his old man seems to have left for some important things, and he has not returned to ......" Under the low groan, Cheng Youlu finally thought of a way to deal with it that didn't sound very safe, "Although Xiao Jing is young, he is always a subordinate of the King of Wind and Cloud, and he has been following the cold for a long time, maybe I should discuss it with him?"
With another long sigh, Cheng Youlu picked up a cup of tea on the desk and drank it carefully, only then did he feel that his almost exhausted mind began to recover.
At this moment, there were two soft knocks outside the study door.
"Brother Cheng, Nian Zheng estimated that the medicinal tea had been cold, and now he has re-opened a cup and sent it to you. ”
The person who knocked on the door was cautious, and there was a bit of expectation in his tone, which made Cheng Youlu a lot more soothing: "Please come in." ”
After speaking, he took another sip of the tea in his hand.
The door was pushed open, and a jasper shadow held the tea in her hand, and walked in cautiously, and when she saw Cheng Youlu just put down the old tea in her hand, the pair of pretty eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "Brother Cheng, this tea is cold, drink it more and hurt your spirit, I'll change it for you first." ”
"I'm sorry, my mouth is dry, I can't bear it. Cheng Youlu heard the other party's displeasure, and he was inevitably stupid.
"This is also a mistake on the part of Nian Zheng, and it should have been replaced for you a while earlier. ”
Sun Nianzheng's chagrin was more directed at himself, and between the words, he walked up quickly, put the new medicinal tea in front of Cheng Youlu, and was about to leave.
Such a cautious attitude made Cheng Youlu feel a little unbearable in his heart, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stay: "It's okay, it just so happens that today's affairs are over, why don't you go out for a walk with me after I drink this cup of tea?"
"Good!"
Hearing Cheng Youlu's proposal, Sun Nianzheng, who was originally cautious and annoyed, suddenly refreshed, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
With such an appearance, Cheng Youlu also smiled bitterly. It has been nearly two years since the sea of blood took in Sun Cunmiao's family and the rest of the villagers. Therefore, the ancestor personally appeared and ordered him, and Sun Cunmiao was a rare celebrity in the world, Cheng Youlu did not dare to neglect them at all, not only did he take care of them from time to time, but he also personally visited the elderly Sun Cunmiao when he had nothing to do, showing the humility of the younger generation. Therefore, he and Sun Nianzheng have become more and more familiar. He has often worked hard for official business recently, Sun Nianzheng even came here from time to time after knowing it, and brewed a few cups of fragrant tea for him to purify his heart and nourish his qi. Now that everything is coming, Cheng Youlu looked at Sun Nianzheng again, and his heart was already filled with gratitude and closeness, so he had this invitation to relax.
It's a pity that before they stepped out of the study, someone came to report, disturbing this rare relaxation time.
