late at night.
Wu Du, dressed in black, sneaked into Bian Lingbai's study, put on silk gloves, and checked the dusty case and slip rack to avoid leaving fingerprints.
There were a lot of envelopes on the slips with numbers on them. Wu Du looked at them one by one, pondered for a moment, gave up the scroll rack, and walked around the room, then turned around and sat down on Bian Lingbai's low couch. , resting his elbows on his knees, leaning against his side face, looking at the paintings and calligraphy in the room.
His eyes swept over the paintings and calligraphy on the walls, the displays on the shelves, the blue bricks on the floor, and the furnishings on the table, and he did not miss every inch of it.
Fei Hongde lay on the bed and coughed softly.
The door opened without any wind, and silent footsteps stepped in.
"I wasn't sure at first." Fei Hongde said in a sandy voice, "I wasn't sure until you came to kill me."
A sword reflected the cold moonlight, and the assassin in black walked into the room
"You really shouldn't do this." Fei Hongde said again, "If you want to hide it, where did the prince get it back?"
"A teenager who has met Li Jianhong, the child's classmate."
The assassin took off his mask, showing a fair and handsome face, with sharp-edged eyebrows and jade-like warmth, it was Lang Junxia who chased all the way from Xichuan to here.
"You should have killed him." Fei Hongde said, "Let me guess if you have already killed that child."
"I can't do it." Lang Junxia replied, "I brought him out, but I did almost kill him."
Fei Hongde said: "You always kill people first, and only start negotiating conditions when you find that you can't kill them."
"This is what Master taught." Lang Junxia replied, "When you can kill people, you don't have to talk about any conditions."
"But the person you killed once." Fei Hongde sat up slowly, put on a robe, looked at Lang Junxia, and said, "How can I negotiate with you?"
"I killed Li Jianhong three times." Lang Junxia said, "I will still negotiate terms with me."
"He's the only one in this world." Fei Hongde gestured, "Sit down, Lang Junxia, we meet again after a long absence, why don't we catch up?"
Lang Junxia narrowed his eyes, as if hesitating. Fei Hongde added, "The person who holds the sword will actually wear a string of beads on his hand."
"Mr. Fei is still so bright." Lang Junxia replied.
"I remember where I saw this bead." Fei Hongde said leisurely, "It seems that you are still trying to survive. If that's the case, what's the harm in fulfilling you with my old life?"
Lang Junxia was silent, Fei Hongde laughed.
"When you pull your neck and kill, you can't let go?" Fei Hongde said again.
Lang Junxia's eyes wandered, and he slowly put away his sword.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside.
"Mr. Fei." Bian Lingbai said.
Fei Hongde got up and was about to answer, but Lang Junxia slammed a sword against Fei Hongde's neck. Fei Hongde smiled slightly, looked at Lang Junxia, and spread his hands, indicating what do you want
"Mr. Fei?" Bian Lingbai said again, and the servant knocked on the door several times, but didn't hear the answer.
Lang Junxia hesitated for a long time, but couldn't make a move, Fei Hongde stood quietly, waiting for him to make his final decision.
Life and death were in the middle of this thought, and suddenly Bian Lingbai felt that something was wrong and said, "Mr. Fei!"
Immediately after the door was pushed, Bian Lingbai came in, and Lang Junxia rushed to open the window and jumped out.
"There are assassins!" Bian Lingbai said in shock, "Someone!"
Wu Du was still meditating in Bian Lingbai's study, leaning on his knees, feeling a little sleepy, yawning, and regaining his senses.
Wu Du frowned deeply, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly heard a noise outside.
"Towards the passenger compartment!" someone shouted.
Wu Du was about to get up and leave, but he heard footsteps go away, and the guard passed by with a torch, and immediately sat back again with a bored face. However, the next moment, Bian Lingbai and Mr. Fei bumped in.
The moment the door was opened, Wu Du raised his foot and kicked the case.
Bian Lingbai took a lantern to the case, and without distinguishing his face, he saw a man in black sitting domineeringly on his seat.
Immediately afterwards, the case flew up from the front of Na Wu's celibate and rolled towards Bian Lingbai.
Before Bian Lingbai could shout, he was smashed on his body by the force of the case. Before he could say "Come—", he was taken backwards and flew out through the courtyard. Wu Du turned around and jumped out of the window, disappearing without a trace.
"People!" Bian Lingbai fell into the pond with a clatter, and Fang shouted the other half.
There was a big uproar in the house, Duan Ling was still tearfully recalling the past with Helianbo's hand. He didn't know what happened outside. The entertainment officer hurried in and Duan Ling asked, "What's wrong?"
The music appreciation officer first looked at Duan Ling, and then at Helianbo. Helianbo was angry, and the music appreciation officer immediately withdrew.
"Yes, a group of people." Helianbo said to Duan Ling, "My uncle, don't let me marry the Yao family."
Duan Ling instantly seemed to be linked up with something, Helianbo walked a few steps in the room and said to himself, "I suspect that Bian Lingbai is also making a deal with him."
Horse thief!
Those horse thieves who want to destroy Yao Jing's marriage!
Duan Ling asked, "Then what will they do?"
Helianbo glanced at Duan Ling, and without hesitation, made a "kill" action.
"If you don't obey, kill." Helianbo said.
Duan Ling's heart suddenly hangs.
"Kill who?"
Helianbo signaled that the person you guessed was the one you guessed, and Duan Ling's heart suddenly set off a storm.
Edge, order, white!
Helianbo sat down, grabbed the portrait of Duan Ling casually, turned it over, drew the surrounding mountains and terrain on the paper, made a few circles and marked the various locations, Duan Ling almost vomited blood.
"Ambush." Helianbo said to Duan Ling.
Duan Ling: "..."
"How many people?" Duan Ling had a premonition that this time it was not easy, Helianbo compared two fingers to Duan Ling - 20,000 people.
"A horse thief?" Duan Ling asked.
Helianbo shook his head, meaning he didn't know, Duan Ling understood that the horse thieves who ambushed them that day might just be one of the squads, so many people scattered all over the mountains and plains of Tongguan, what did they want to do? Duan Ling hurriedly put the blueprint in his arms and said to Helianbo, "I think of a way to lure them out."
Helianbo looked at Duan Ling and waved his hands with deep meaning in his eyes.
Waving his hand meant "no", and Helianbo's gaze meant that they were all his clansmen.
"Change." Duan Ling said.
They used to say this word in Mingtang, I traded delicious food for your fun. When I was young, my heart was simple, and things were always used in exchange. Helianbo's, Duanling's, Batu's, In the end, it came and went, and I don't know whose hands it was.
Helianbo laughed again when he heard these words, turned and sat back on the couch, motioning to Duan Ling, "Speak."
Helianbo was sitting in front of the couch, stepping on the table with one foot. Although he was only seventeen years old, he faintly carried the might of a king over the world. Duan Ling felt both familiar and unfamiliar, they had all grown up. Now, he actually wants to represent a country and make a deal with Helianbo
But he didn't have any conditions to open it and exchange it with Helianbo. What's even more amazing is that Helianbo didn't ask him about his details, such as what his identity was and why he came to Tongguan. Duan Ling said "change", and Helianbo asked him to make an offer as a matter of course.
"The Silk Road reopens." Duan Ling said without hesitation.
Helianbo thought, but did not answer.
Duan Ling knew that the reopening of the Silk Road was what Xiliang wanted to see, and it was also the purpose of the marriage between Yao Fu, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Helianbo wanted control over the Silk Road.
"After the Silk Road is reopened," Duan Ling added, "the caravan entered Tongguan with customs clearance documents. The documents must be stamped with the seal designated by your Helian family. Tongguan guards can let them go. people."
Helianbo's eyes lit up, but he didn't answer directly.
Can this be done? Duan Ling quickly calculated that after Bian Lingbai's death, Tongguan would definitely send a new guard. Yao Fu's management on Bian Lingbai was ruined, and the customs clearance rights would be captured in Mu Kuangda's hands. As for how to collect taxes, How the goods go has nothing to do with Duan Ling.
If he was the crown prince, he would indeed be able to persuade the court to identify Helianbo as the orthodox heir, but now that he is nothing, how much chance does Mu Kuangda have
"You, who, who?" Helianbo asked again.
"I'm not Duan Ling?" Duan Ling stretched out his arms and motioned to Helianbo to look at it, as if he were a fake.
"If you don't feel at ease." Duan Ling added, "I will write a letter and have someone send it back to Xichuan, non-stop, and it will arrive in a day. You can think about it first, or send someone home to ask. "
At that time, the noise outside the hospital became loud again, and someone shouted: "Catch the assassin!"
Duan Ling and Helianbo stopped talking immediately. Duan Ling looked back and saw that someone outside the hospital had rushed in. Helianbo was full of doubts, but Duan Ling wondered if Wu Du had been caught! But since everyone is catching assassins, it means that Wu Du has escaped. Wan Fang ordered Bai to investigate in person, and found that only Duan Ling was sitting down...
However, time could not allow him to think any more. There was a loud bang on the door, and two guards smashed through the wooden door and flew in. Then Helan Jie stepped in, and the iron hook hooked on Duan Ling's collar, dragging him away. Fly out. At the same time, Helianbo flew up, stepped on the short case, and drew his sword in mid-air. Duan Ling immediately turned sideways, avoiding the blade, and Helianbo's machete flashed and slashed towards Helan Jie!
Helan Jie instead grabbed Duan Ling with his left hand, swayed the iron hook with his right hand, and took advantage of his strength to swing Helianbo's machete into the air.
"Sure enough, Wu Du is not here!" Helan Jie smiled strangely, "Come with me to see the general!"
Helan Jie dragged Duan Ling up to the courtyard wall, Duan Ling thought badly, He Lan Jie was catching assassins, he must have lost it, and instead took himself as a hostage!
"Let go of me!" Duan Ling struggled violently, hitting Helan Jie's abdomen with his elbows backwards, but he heard a finger snap in his ear.
A man in black was extremely swift, and stabbed Helan Jie in the throat with a sharp sword, and he had to be rescued. In an instant, the man in black pulled Duan Ling hard and snatched it over.
Helianbo and the others still don't know what happened, they surrounded the courtyard, but the man in black had already hugged Duan Ling and jumped out of the hospital. behind.
