"Let's go." Wu Dongfang nodded.

"excuse me… "

Wu Dongfang suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head and fainted instantly.

When he woke up, the surrounding scenery had completely changed. The lush jungle and familiar caves were gone. They were replaced by wooden roofs and white bed curtains. He was covered with a pink quilt, and the surrounding area was filled with the faint smell of sandalwood. .

"I'm very sorry, I knocked you unconscious last night." Yun Ping's voice came from the south.

Wu Dongfang turned over and sat up, and saw that this was a large room. On the east side were carillons and other musical instruments, and on the west side was a low platform for playing chess. There was a wooden frame placed by the window on the low platform, and there were various There were similar pots and jars, and there were wooden tables and chairs in the middle of the house. Yunping was sitting next to the round table. There was a copper pot on the table, with steam coming from the spout.

After confirming the environment, Wu Dongfang turned over and went to the ground. He did not ask where it was. The red charcoal in the two copper basins on the ground in the room indicated that this was the cold north.

Yun Ping pointed to the seat opposite him, and Wu Dongfang walked over and sat down.

"Drink a cup of tea first." Yun Ping brought a pot to pour tea for Wu Dongfang. At this time, he had already changed into winter clothes, which were similar to a cotton-padded jacket, but lighter than a cotton-padded jacket.

Wu Dongfang looked at the teacup. The tea in the teacup was very turbid. In addition to the tea leaves, there were also some fine powders. Based on the smell, it seemed that the tea should be mixed with some kind of edible grain.

Yun Ping put down the copper pot and looked at Wu Dongfang with a smile.

Wu Dongfang picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, then turned to look at the tea cup in his hand. The tea cup was green and white and was a porcelain cup. This showed that the Xia Dynasty already had porcelain.

"Would you like another drink?" Yun Ping asked.

"Okay." Wu Dongfang put down the tea cup. The tea now may be boiled and thicker.

"I admire you very much." Yun Ping brought a pot to pour tea for Wu Dongfang.

"Why?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"Because I like smart people." Yun Ping said with a smile.

"I like to be straightforward. Tell me, what are you going to do with me?" Wu Dongfang held the tea cup in his hand. There was a whistling wind outside, and the weather was very cold. Because the window was covered with white silk to block the wind, he couldn't see Is it snowing outside

"What do you want us to do with you?" Yun Ping put down the teapot.

"Do I have the final say?" Wu Dongfang asked with a smile. The other party arrested him and said that he wanted to be a hostage. The purpose was to make the Jin clan docile. This was much smarter than the previous assassination. Since he was a hostage, his life would naturally not be affected. There is danger, but it's hard to say what kind of treatment they will receive.

"It doesn't count, I said it doesn't count." Yun Ping shook his head and picked up his teacup, "I tried your bloodline last night. You are not a pure gold bloodline, but a very strange bloodline. Yours This kind of bloodline cannot practice the Jin clan’s spells.”

"I know." Wu Dongfang moved his itchy right hand.

"If you take our healing elixir, your wound will heal within three days." Yun Ping said.

"Thank you." Wu Dongfang said. Yun Ping had been very polite to him from the time he appeared until now. There must be some hypocrisy in it, but besides hypocrisy, he felt that Yun Ping's attitude might have other purposes.

"You're welcome, can I ask you a few questions?" Yun Ping asked.

"I know nothing about the Jin clan." Wu Dongfang shook his head.

"I'm not interested in them. You are not from the Jin tribe. Where are you from?" Yun Ping asked.

"I don't want to lie to you." Wu Dongfang said. Regardless of whether Yun Ping's attitude was sincere or not, at least he made a polite move, and he was unwilling to talk nonsense to the other party in return.

"Okay!" Yun Ping was not angry but nodded with satisfaction.

"Can I ask you a few questions?" Wu Dongfang said.

"Please speak." Yun Ping raised his hand.

"Why did you arrest me?" Wu Dongfang asked.

Yun Ping raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wu Dongfang, but did not answer immediately.

When Wu Dongfang saw this, doubts arose in his heart. This question seemed to him the simplest question. The Tu tribe's arrest of him was nothing more than to hijack the Jin tribe. However, looking at Yun Ping's expression, it seemed that the truth was not as simple as he imagined.

After pondering, Yunping said, "I don't want to lie to you either."

Wu Dongfang nodded. Although Yunping did not answer his question, he undoubtedly indirectly admitted that arresting him was not just to hijack the Jin clan. There should be other reasons for this.

"What will you do with me?" Wu Dongfang asked again.

"Send you to a safe place. The environment there may not be very good and the food is in short supply, but you will be safe there and will not be alone." Yun Ping said with a meaningful smile, "There are woman."

"Why are you so polite to me?" Wu Dongfang asked what he couldn't understand the most.

"I want to make a deal with you." Yun Ping said.

"I have nothing to trade with you." Wu Dongfang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of rice tea.

Yun Ping shook his head, "Not yet, but it may happen in the future. If one day I fall into your hands, I hope you can let me and my family live. In return, you can stay here for three days." , there’s fine food and young women.”

"Since you expected that this day might come, why didn't you just kill me?" Wu Dongfang asked in confusion.

"It doesn't matter what I say. If I could make the decision, I would have killed you yesterday instead of bringing you back." Yun Ping shook his head sternly.

"You can say that you missed it temporarily." Wu Dongfang said.

"I can't bear the consequences of a mistake," Yun Ping shook his head, "Do you agree with the deal I mentioned?"

"I definitely agree with such a good thing." Wu Dongfang smiled.

Yun Ping raised his right palm.

"Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"Afraid, so once I have the chance, I will still advise Master to kill you." Yun Ping said with a smile.

Wu Dongfang smiled, raised his injured right hand and gave him a high-five. According to the connotation of Yunping's words, it is not difficult to see that Yunping realized that he would bring danger and advocated killing him immediately. However, Yunping's master, who may be the Xuanhuang Celestial Master of the Tu tribe, decided to keep him. As for Xuanhuang Celestial Master, What was the motive for not killing him? There should be other factors besides the Jin clan.

"If you agree, I'd like to raise the bet." Yun Ping picked up the copper pot again and poured tea for Wu Dongfang.

"Tell me about it." Wu Dongfang said with a smile. People have shortcomings, and Yun Ping also has them. This person is greedy.

"The place you are going to is very difficult. You will not get the treatment you receive today. On the contrary, you may encounter a lot of troubles. I can help you once without harming the interests of the Tu people." Yun Ping said.

"Why don't you help more times?" Wu Dongfang asked with a smile.

"Because I can't always pass by there." Yun Ping said with a smile.

Wu Dongfang also laughed. No matter he is a good guy or a bad guy, it is always more enjoyable to deal with smart people than with idiots.

"If what you ask me to do harms the interests of the other four tribes, I won't do it." Wu Dongfang said.

"No." Yun Ping turned a small ball the size of a red bean from the Jade Rabbit and handed it to Wu Dongfang. "Throw it into the fire if necessary. I'll be there soon."

Wu Dongfang took the small jade ball, untied the gauze on his right hand, and pressed it into the wound.

The person suffering the pain did not frown, but the bystanders frowned.

"You have already tried to persuade me, but unfortunately your opinion was not adopted. Don't worry, even if you ask me to kill your master in the future, I will do my best." Wu Dongfang said with a smile.

Yun Ping's expression changed drastically when he heard this, with a ferocious look on his face. He stared at Wu Dongfang angrily, gritted his teeth, and said word by word, "I really should kill you."

"If you could make the decision, you would have done it long ago." Wu Dongfang shrugged and spread his hands.

After staring at each other for more than ten seconds, Yun Ping looked away and let out a long sigh. After a long sigh, he stood up straight and said, "Your jade pillow was hit hard. It makes you dizzy. You can't walk, let alone go out."

"Thank you." Wu Dongfang replied. What Yunping said was to let him stay here for three days.

"I have to rush back to the Tianshi Mansion, you can do whatever you want." Yun Ping walked out.

"Where is this?" Wu Dongfang asked.

"Guocheng." Yun Ping walked to the door and stretched out his hand to pull it towards the door. He turned back before opening the door, "We have never had this conversation."

"I know." Wu Dongfang said.

Yunping opened the door and stepped out.

"Call me someone to come over." Wu Dongfang said.

Yunping didn't answer and closed the door behind his back.

When Yun Ping opened the door just now, he saw snowflakes falling outside. Hearing the sound of Yun Ping stepping on the snow when he left, the snow outside was already very thick. The consequences of escaping in such weather that could leave footprints would only be He was immediately sent to a very difficult environment, without food and drink for three days.

Determined that he could not escape, Wu Dongfang picked up the copper pot and poured himself a cup of tea. He frowned and thought while holding the teacup. The Jin clan would definitely try to rescue him, but only if he knew his location. Before the Jin clan's rescue arrived, the only way he could What he does is to ensure that he is alive. The reason why he is still alive now is mainly because of that Xuanhuang Celestial Master. Why the other party wants him to live is a question he needs to think about, because some of his future actions are likely to be criticized by Xuanhuang. When the Heavenly Master learns, should he show off his talents or pretend to be crazy? Neither of these two will work. The other party must be quite old. The apprentice is already so cunning and cunning. The master must be even more deceitful. Any disguise may be self-defeating. Just don't pretend at all and just do whatever you need to do.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Wu Dongfang answered, and a woman wearing a gauze skirt walked in. This woman was about twenty years old. She was pretty and had a good figure. She wore a tube top to protect her. Six out of ten, the gauze skirt is transparent and the outline is completely transparent.

This woman may be specialized in doing this. She is not shy at all but pretends to be shy. After entering, she closes the door behind her back and slowly moves to the bed to the north. She always has a charming and seductive smile on her face as she walks. .

"It's winter, you're wearing so little, aren't you cold?" Wu Dongfang asked with a frown. He asked Yunping to call someone because he was "dizzy" and couldn't go out. He had to find an errand boy, but Yunping did it for him. Come here with something like this.

"It's not cold." The woman bowed her head shyly, walked to the bed and sat down.

"If it's not cold, don't go to bed. Go out and find me something to eat..."
