A tall and tall figure walked out from the crowd who followed Wu Yi in.
That man was wearing the most common clothes of Wu Yi's soldiers. In such a dim night, ordinary people would not notice the difference in him.
But when he walked out of the crowd, everyone could immediately tell that such a person was definitely not an ordinary person.
Behind that man were two people dressed the same as him. They were following him on the left and right. They were obviously guards.
As soon as the man appeared, the iron cage that had been sliding down suddenly stopped.
The iron cage was less than a foot away from the water surface of the cold pool, and Cao Mian could clearly feel the biting coldness while standing inside.
Only this time, no matter how he moved, the iron cage remained motionless above the cold pool.
Cao Mian looked at the man, a complicated expression flashed across his face.
Except for Cao Mian, everyone else looked at the man with a bit of confusion. Apparently they didn't know who this person was, who could make Xie Yan go to such trouble to see him.
"Who are you?" Yan Hengtian said in a deep voice.
The man glanced at Yan Hengtian lightly and did not answer.
Instead, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Dieying and others, and said: "I'm here, how can the regent be willing to let them go?"
Dieying smiled and said: "The prince said that if you want to keep Marquis Wen Ding alive, please give me the Panlong Seal in exchange."
The man said: "How can the regent be sure that the dragon seal is in my hand?"
Duiying did not answer this question, but calmly waited for his answer.
Luo Junyao looked at the man curiously. He was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, and his appearance was somewhat handsome. However, Luo Junyao had seen many beautiful men, so he didn't care much about this man's appearance.
It's just...why does she think this person looks familiar?
But she must have never seen this person before.
"What is the Panlong Seal?" Luo Junyao asked in a low voice.
Duiying also lowered his voice and said: "You can order all those in Bai Cu's old tribe back then, including those who are following Bai Jingrong in the Qi tribe now."
"So powerful." Luo Junyao looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in surprise.
Why is such a powerful thing in the hands of this person? What is the identity of this person?
Cao Mian sighed softly and said, "You can go."
The young man looked at Cao Mian with a complicated look in his eyes. Before he could speak, he heard a laughing voice not far away, "I'm afraid he can't leave."
Everyone looked sideways and saw Bai Xu strolling in from outside under the moonlight.
"Marquis Wen Ding, we finally meet again." Bai Xu nodded to Cao Mian with a smile.
Cao Mian sighed, "I ask myself that I have nothing to do with Mr. Bai."
"Really?" Bai Xu said with a smile: "Perhaps in Mr. Cao's heart, you really have nothing to do with me. After all, after careful calculation, you have saved my life. But... you took my things and refused.
To return it, I have to do it myself."
Cao Mian lowered his eyes and said, "Maybe... I really shouldn't have taken that kind of thing back then."
Bai Xu smiled and said: "It's useless to say this now, but I still admire Mr. Cao a little. Your Cao family are all ruthless and unjust people. You, the head of the family, have been captured by the court for so long, but the Cao family has not tried to save him.
You, on the other hand, this... even though he knew that the regent was looking for him, he was willing to show up in person to save you, the Marquis is not at a loss either."
Cao Mian glanced at the young man with a somewhat complicated expression. Bai Xu looked at the young man with interest, and suddenly smiled and said: "Maybe the news from the regent is wrong. The Panlong Seal is not in his hands at all. If I have Panlong Seal,
With the dragon seal in hand, it will never appear at this time."
The young man said solemnly: "It is true that the Panlong Seal is in my hands, but... unless I release him immediately, I will not hand it over."
He glanced in the direction of Luo Junyao and others, and said solemnly: "If I die here, the Panlong Seal will be delivered to Bai Jingrong immediately."
Hearing this, Luo Junyao, Dieying and others had not yet done anything, but a hint of murderous intent flashed through Bai Xu's eyes.
"How dare you!" Bai Xu said coldly.
The young man smiled and said, "I dare you. Mr. Bai can give it a try. Besides... if the regent is not here, I may not die here."
Bai Xu laughed angrily, "Princess Regent, you said that?"
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't know anything. I'm just here to join in the fun tonight."
The overlapping image said: "The prince said that he must see the Panlong Seal tonight."
"How can I believe that you will let him go?" the young man said.
Duoying glanced at him and said, "I don't know. You can wait slowly and negotiate terms when the prince comes."
"..." Of course he didn't want to wait for Xie Yan to come. If Xie Yan came, they might really not be able to leave.
"I advise you not to act rashly. The mechanism on Marquis Wen Ding's head can only be activated once." Dieying looked at the young man and said coldly: "You can choose whether to rescue him or sink him completely."
The young man's face changed. Bai Xu looked at the expression on his face and smiled happily.
There was silence in the depths of the valley for a long time. The young man suddenly sighed, took out something from his arms, held it in his hand, and said: "The Panlong Seal is here, let Marquis Wen Ding go."
Bai Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, took a closer look and said, "Your dragon seal is incomplete. I guess you didn't open it yourself. No wonder you are willing to come."
Only the complete Panlong Yin is useful, only half of it is a defective waste.
"As expected, Marquis Wen Ding always leaves a way out for himself." Bai Xu said with emotion.
Cao Mian closed his eyes and sighed softly: "Master Bai is wrong, I have no way out."
"Oh" Bai Xu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Cao Mian opened his eyes and looked at him and said, "Do you think Xie Yan really wants something like the Panlong Seal?"
"What's the meaning"
"He just wants to completely destroy the Panlong Seal and completely bury everything in your Bai family. As long as this half of the seal is destroyed, the Panlong Seal will never be complete, which is no different from being destroyed," Cao Mian said solemnly.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the young man and said, "You were fooled by Xie Yan. He already knew that you only had half a piece in your hand. If you didn't show up, nothing would happen to me."
The young man's face changed, and he said coldly: "I hold half of the Panlong Seal. What's the use of me except being chased by Cao Jie?"
Cao Mian kept silent.
"Do it!" Duiying said solemnly.
In the night, several figures quickly rushed towards the young man.
There are Lei Yunmu and Yao Fu, and... Qu Tiange!
Appearing at the same time as Qu Tiange, there were about a dozen men dressed in black. Just looking at their Qinggong, it was clear that they were not weak in strength.
Luo Jun raised her eyebrows. Now she really felt the importance of this Panlong Seal.
This change made others unable to react. Wu Yi didn't think much and ordered: "Stop them!"
Yan Hengtian and Ye Li glanced at each other and both passed by.
The battle in the valley started again, but Cao Mian, who was still white-faced from the cold above the cold pool, was temporarily forgotten.
