Feeling the harsh pressure, like an ordinary person in the ice and snow, Xu Yu hurriedly said: "Master Yan, please don't misunderstand, I just want to say that the imperial court and Bai Yujing have always been mutually beneficial..."
After telling a bunch of clichés and seeing that the other party remained indifferent, he had to change his words and said: "As far as I know, Bai Yujing and the Jian family have had a lot of business dealings in recent years."
Yan Xuehen's eyes narrowed: "What, you want to investigate? We have legal and reasonable business dealings, and we have never been afraid of the court's investigation."
"It's reasonable, but it's not necessarily legal. The scale of the transaction far exceeds the amount stipulated by the court..." Seeing the other party's expression change, Xu Yu changed the subject, "Viewer, don't worry, something has happened to Jian Taiding now.
Coupled with Mrs. Yu's incident this time, it is inevitable that the Jian family will be lonely, and your business relationship will not last long."
"If nothing goes wrong, I will still stay in Yunzhong County to take charge of the government affairs in the future. I can make the decision to continue this business."
Yan Xuehen said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that your emperor will know what you are doing?"
Xu Yu cupped his hands and said: "The Emperor has always been a wise man, so he can naturally understand the difficulties in places like ours, and he won't be too harsh if you think about it."
Yan Xuehen was upset. If she had a normal temper, she would have kicked the old fox official out with a wave of her sleeves.
It's a pity that she is not alone. There is a huge sect behind her. Cultivation consumes a huge amount of various resources. Not to mention the cultivation resources, the daily necessities such as food, drink, and diarrhea for a sect are also astronomical.
Seeing that her expression had softened, Xu Yu hurriedly added: "Master Yan, as far as I know, when the human race and the demon race fought, your senior brother seemed to have died at the hands of the demon race. This time the demon race lurked in the human world.
It is obvious that she has a very big agenda. If she is allowed to return to the Monster Clan, she will reveal many secrets of our human race and cause many innocent people to die tragically."
Hearing his words, Yan Xuehen was really moved. They, the righteous sects, originally took it as their duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, not to mention that they did have a blood feud with the demon clan back then.
Thinking of this, she finally nodded: "Okay, I will make an exception."
As soon as she finished speaking, she appeared outside the house, walked through the air, and disappeared into the horizon step by step.
Xu Yu, who chased her out, looked at her beautiful back with fluttering white clothes, and couldn't help but sigh: "She is really a fairy!"
Let’s say that Zu An and Yu Yanluo on the other side returned to Jian Yanyou’s retreat place from the secret passage.
This secret room was later given a special seal, so there was no risk of it being used by others.
Zu An said: "Madam has been frightened these past few days, so why not take a good rest in the mansion."
Unexpectedly, Yu Yanluo shook her head: "No, Xu Yu's people are all over the world now looking for me, and they will definitely find out here soon. I can't hurt you."
Zu An smiled and said, "You are already angry just by saying this, so why should I be afraid that you will be involved?"
Yu Yanluo glanced at him blankly, her pretty face slightly dizzy: "The Yu family is doomed now, and your status as the Duke is the only basis for our comeback in the future, so we cannot involve you."
Zu An thought the same thing. After this disaster, the Yu family must have been displaced, and many of their properties might have been swallowed up by other powerful people. With him here, he could at least take care of one or two things.
"My staying here is a hidden danger, so I'd better leave for a while first, and I can't worry about my people." Yu Yanluo replied.
"Where are you going? The demon clan?" Zu An asked.
Yu Yanluo hummed: "Although I really don't want to go to that place, it has to be like this now."
Noticing that she subconsciously hugged her shoulders, obviously showing she was afraid of the cold, Zu An knew that she was not telling lies.
It's winter now, even Yunzhong County is so cold, and the demon tribe further north must be even colder.
The Snake Clan is known to be afraid of the cold, so she has to stay in Dihuo's room to sleep every day here, let alone the Monster Clan.
"Then let me send you out of the city. The defense force should not be completely closed yet." Zu An looked towards the city gate. There were a lot of snake tribes before, so naturally it was impossible for him to take them one by one, but if there was only one person
If so, it won't be that difficult to break through the defense.
Yu Yanluo wanted to refuse, but seeing the other person's face, she accidentally refused.
Hey, I really don’t want to separate from him so soon.
The two secretly left the Duke's Mansion because their cultivation levels had recovered. Although the soldiers on the city wall were still well-defended, a place as large as Yunzhong City was not as capable of doing everything as the house where Yu Yanluo was imprisoned before.
Kill the corner.
With their cultivation level, they quickly found an opportunity and slipped out.
However, not long after the two left, they felt a sharp sword intent wandering nearby.
Zu An couldn't help but cursed secretly: "Why is this guy so haunted?"
Yu Yanluo whispered: "I guess he lost track of us, so he scouted near the city wall, waiting for us to fall into his trap. Fortunately, we were lucky enough and were not discovered by him when we came out."
Zu An was a little worried: "Get out of here quickly. The master's soul is very powerful. If he notices it, we won't be able to get rid of it."
"Okay!" Yuyanluo's face turned red inexplicably, and the scene in Biyufang came to mind. She couldn't do that again.
Soon she led Zu An towards the north. Seeing the towering mountains in the distance, Zu An couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to the Snowy Mountains?"
Yu Yanluo shook her head: "No, go to the Yu family's mineral vein. There is a trail there leading to the realm of the demon clan. My clan members should be there now."
Zu An's expression changed. The demon clan actually had a direct connection to the hinterland of the human clan.
As if guessing what he was thinking, Yu Yanluo said: "The demon clan doesn't know about this secret passage, and I have also placed a special seal. Without the key, forcibly opening it will cause the entire secret passage to collapse. I also have human race
Bloodline, of course, I don’t want to see the human race being devastated.”
Although she has never admitted it in public, she does not shy away from the fact that she is Medusa when the two of them are together.
Temporarily out of danger, Zu An also relaxed a little and said with a smile: "I'm very curious about what your real body is, that is, if you drink some realgar wine, will your original shape appear?"
As he spoke, he looked behind her butt, as if to see if there was a tail.
Jade Yanluo: "..."
She said angrily: "Of course it's not what you think. I have always been in human form. Unless I use the Eyes of Medusa with all my strength, my hair will turn into some small snakes. But according to the snake tribe's classics
, if I become stronger in the future, my bloodline power will gradually awaken, and when I need to fight the enemy with all my strength, my legs may turn into snake tails..."
When she said this, she looked worried: "I don't want to do that either. I feel so ugly. Will you dislike me?"
"Of course not." Zu An replied.
"Really?" Yu Yanluo looked a little suspicious, "But as far as I know, people are afraid of this form."
"Those are ordinary people. I am different. I have seen Zhao Ling'er, White Snake, Queen Medusa before... each one is more beautiful than the other." Classic images appeared in Zu An's mind.
"Zhao Ling'er, who is the White Lady?" Yu Yanluo looked suspicious, "Have you ever seen my mother?"
Obviously, she regarded Queen Medusa as her mother.
"Ahem, you misunderstood. I'm not talking about your mother. This is a story from my hometown." Zu An said, "If you want to hear it, I will tell it to you on the way."
"Okay, I want to hear the story of Zhao Ling'er and White Snake." Yu Yanluo's eyes sparkled like gems.
In this way, the two of them were telling stories about "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "White Snake" and "Fight to Break the Sphere" while heading towards the mine vein.
On the road, the two people were discussing one after another: "Zhao Ling'er is so pitiful. Didn't that guy named Li Xiaoyao start in chaos and end up giving up?"
"Well, he lost his memory."
"It won't work if I lose my memory, and this name always reminds me of that rotten drunkard. I don't like him."
"..."
"The same goes for Xu Xian. White Snake was so kind to him, but he actually cooperated with Fa Hai to harm her. He is really a heartless and shameless person."
"Well, I agree with this, but Xu Xian is an ordinary person after all, so we can't expect too much from him."
"And that Xiao Yan, didn't he take advantage of others' danger and use force?"
"Huh? In fact, they were in love at that time..."
"Why in these stories, no matter how amazing and talented the women of the Snake Tribe are, they all meet this kind of scumbag. Is this our destined fate?" At this point, Yu Yanluo lowered her head and said,
The faint moonlight in the sky fell on her delicate cheeks, the light and shadow intertwined, and the whole person felt an indescribable feeling of loneliness.
Zu An didn't expect that these stories would cause her to feel sorry for herself, and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm different from them."
Yu Yanluo raised her head and stared at him blankly, her cheeks gradually turning red. The male and female protagonists in those stories were either husband and wife or had physical contact. Was he hinting at something?
At this time, in the mid-air of Yunzhong City, Yan Xuehen stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the brightly lit city under his feet, and his huge spiritual thoughts began to scan the entire city.
