The only remaining bit of thought was debunked like this, and Cheng Ci lowered his head a little ashamedly. If you don't lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot for the sake of the little interests in front of you, why do you need to rely on the light of others?

Lowering his head and rubbing his fingers twice, Cheng Ci quickly led the topic elsewhere: "The city lord is in a hurry, but is there anything you need your subordinates to serve you?"

After knocking his index finger on his head twice, Cheng Yinni really remembered one thing: "This golden nest is a place of right and wrong, you put Ye Zhenli as soon as possible, so that my friends can also rest assured." I'll do everything for the follow-up, and even if you can't hand over the trick on time, you don't have to worry. ”

After hearing this, Cheng Ci once again showed a look of embarrassment, and knelt down again without saying a word: "The city lord is good, it's not that his subordinates refuse to let go. That Ye Zhenli was tied into the gold nest by Ji Haitang early, and I was just responsible for sending someone to the Central Plains to deliver the letter. ”

After personally picking her up from the ground, Cheng Yinni smiled and said, "I know, you can step back first! If I don't live in this room, you will be afraid that it will be difficult for you to feel at ease...... That being the case, I thank you for forbearing the pain. ”

"Is there really nothing else that the city lord needs his subordinates to serve?" Cheng Ci, who did not give up, repeated that sentence again.

After a smack, Cheng Yinni stroked his lower abdomen and said, "You are so loyal to me, I am embarrassed to thin your affection." From tomorrow onwards, you will bring me a cup of stewed soup every day. ”

It is rare to have a chance to please the city lord, Cheng Ci clapped his palms very happily: "It is a blessing for my subordinates to be able to do what I can for the city lord, and I will definitely deliver the Ten Perfect Tonic Soup every morning." ”

Soon after Cheng quit leaving, Cheng Yinni knocked on the door of Tianzi No. 1 room. Cheng Ci was told part of what he said, including the identity of Taoyao's lady, the person who kidnapped Ye Zhenli was Ji Haitang, the eldest son of the lord of the Golden Nest, and a mysterious guest was about to arrive.

Altogether, these three things.

The four of them sat on a table of eight immortals, just when Ke Liuyun, who couldn't sleep, came to visit the door.

After understanding what happened, he kept slapping the table as if he had lost his soul: "What kind of thing is this season of begonias? It's really shameless to kidnap our weak woman Ah Li for a mere 10 million taels of gold!"

Originally, it was just one or two words of complaint, but Gu Huaiyan heard it in his ears, but it had another deep meaning: "You just said that Ah Li is a weak woman......"

"Yes, in my opinion she is a weak woman, much weaker than your goose. Ke Liuyun, who insisted on his own opinion, gave an answer without thinking.

Instead, He Zhi leaned over with a face full of curiosity: "Brother Huaiyan, why do you ask that? The kidnappers are interested in Boss Ye's money, does it have anything to do with whether she is a weak woman or not?"

With a "bang", Gu Huaiyan slammed his fist on the table, and said conclusively: "Of course it matters, although Ah Li is a woman, her martial arts are not weak at all! I once fought with her in the pear orchard near Guiao Pavilion, and the snake-shaped soft sword on her body is very powerful.

And she also has all kinds of strange poisons on her body, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to her, not to mention that she has many subordinates around her. How could she be kidnapped so easily?"

Ruan Zhinan, who had been sitting quietly and listening, asked tentatively: "Could it be that someone deliberately framed him?"

Just such a sentence was recognized by the other four, Gu Huaiyan continued to add: "In addition, Ah Li's power is all over the major corners of the Central Plains, and even our Yunyang Mountain Qingshuitan has a branch opened by her. She wants to scrape together ten million taels of gold, which should be much easier than us.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, are they really short of 10 million taels of gold in the Golden Nest? Have you noticed that most of the diners who are eating in the hall today are going to sell the Golden Nest? ”

After hearing this, Ke Liuyun finally realized the problem: "If everything is really as Miss Cheng Ci said, that Ji Haitang is definitely not a simple character, and he must not have kidnapped Ah Li for money." ”

After casting an approving glance at Gu Huaiyan, Cheng Yinni spit out the truth: "Don't hide it, Ji Haitang kidnapped Boss Ye not for money, but to get your shocking trick." Unfortunately, Boss Ye, who intersected with you, happened to be doing business in the Western Regions, which became their target. ”

This result seemed to be expected by Gu Huaiyan, because only He Zhi and Ke Liuyun were surprised by Cheng Yin's words.

After sighing lightly, Gu Huaiyan took a pair of paper and pencils: "As long as I don't hand over the secret for a day, Ah Li's life will not be in danger." Now the top priority is to get all the guests who live in this inn, and I always feel that there is more than one undercover lady. ”

Cheng Yinni nodded in agreement: "Gu Shaoxia's words are very heartfelt, all the people who live in this inn may be undercover agents sent by Pinjinwo, or they may be the contacts of the mysterious guest......

All in all, those who can enter the gold nest are definitely not ordinary people, and everyone is suspicious. If you want to rescue Boss Ye safely, you have to fight a tough battle. ”

With the help of the five of them, the layout of the inn and the places where their guests live are easily laid out on paper.

After staring at the drawings on the table for a while, Ke Liuyun stretched out his hand and pointed to the next door: "Do you want to inform Wuxian and Xiangyang about this matter?"

He Zhi was the first to give his opinion: "Miss Xiangyang and Xiaopu can naturally tell us that the two of them are our own people and there is no need to hide them." As for that Xiao Wuxian...... Although he was open-minded, he had served as a commander in the imperial court. But I always feel that something is weird, that peach girl seems to be very afraid of him. ”

"I noticed it too!" Gu Huaiyan stood on He Zhi's side on the spot: "When Xiao Wuxian declared that he was once the commander of the capital, the Taoyao lady, who was still smiling, suddenly went elsewhere. Regardless of whether she is weak or not, at least it can prove that she knows Xiao Wuxian. ”

After listening to the analysis of the two, Ruan Zhinan also joined He Zhi's side, and said seriously: "In this way, the two of them have an unknown entanglement, which may be enemies, or they may be partners who cooperate secretly.

Until there is a distinction between friend and foe, it is better not to tell those who cannot believe in this matter for the time being. In case this move is wrong...... Not only can't we save Boss Ye, maybe all of us here won't be able to go back to the Central Plains. ”
