The cold wind blew in the courtyard, and the doors and windows in the house were closed. Liu Ruyan and Shangguan Jin sat around the stove and talked briefly.
"Liu Ruyan, I didn't expect you to find yourself here again. Could it be possible that I, the leader of the Holy Fire Hall of the Red Flower Club, would really fall in love with someone and want to leave the Red Flower Club?"
"Shangguan Jin, there is one thing you haven't made clear. I am just the daughter of the leader of the Holy Fire Hall."
"What's the difference? In fact, like me, you will inherit the position of hall master sooner or later. However, in view of your recent performance, the chief helmsman is very dissatisfied. The formula of Wuliangye has not been obtained for a long time, and you have rarely provided any
Provide information during the meeting, and even intentionally avoid various matters in the meeting. If you don't show up, the chief rudder may take some actions against you."
Liu Ruyan frowned slightly: "I won't show up now?"
Shangguan Jin smiled: "This only proves that you are smart and knows when to show up. It does not prove your loyalty. Unless you can hand over the formula of Wuliangye."
Shangguan Jin paused and looked at Liu Ruyan. Seeing that Liu Ruyan was silent, Shangguan Jin frowned again: "You have to understand, even if you hand over the formula of Wuliangye, it will not be considered in the heart of the chief helmsman."
What a big credit. Although money is a good thing, our Red Flower Society is not short of money. What we are in urgent need of is people. People with both wisdom and wealth like your husband. You also understand that I want you to marry
He wanted him to join the Red Flower Club. The reason why the chief rudder has tolerated you for so long is because he feels guilty for not discussing the matter with you, and it is understandable that you have resentment. But such tolerance also has a time limit.
, you should stop when it suits you."
"I can see these things more clearly than you. Today I have a piece of news that will satisfy the chief helmsman. Its value is definitely higher than Wuliangye and my husband joining the Red Flower Club."
Shangguan Jin didn't seem to take it seriously and smiled: "Husband...it seems that you are very accustomed to being a wife...no, it's time to be a concubine."
"And you don't seem to like me as passionately as you did back then. I can tell at just one glance that the biggest difference between you and my husband is that you are hypocritical and indifferent, while he is real and affectionate. Fortunately, I am not an ordinary woman and can see through
Your nature, otherwise any girl would be moved by the methods you used on me."
Shangguan Jin frowned even more tightly, as if he didn't want to dwell on such a topic anymore: "Okay, let's get down to business."
Liu Ruyan took a long breath, feeling that it was not worth wasting too much time with this person, so she shortened her words to the minimum: "The magic pen was acquired by Chang Feng, the chief of the Baili Division of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and today, Chang Feng will pass by here
We'll be there in a quarter of an hour."
Shangguan Jin's face changed drastically: "Where did you get the news? Is the news reliable?"
Liu Ruyan did not answer, just sat silently.
But Liu Ruyan's behavior has already given the answer. If the information had not been very accurate, Liu Ruyan would not have come to report the news in person. Moreover, Liu Ruyan was a thoughtful woman. If she was not very sure, she would not have said such a thing.
The news, time and place were very accurate. It can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Shangguan Jin stood up and clenched his fists unconsciously. If he could cut off the magic pen here, it would definitely be a great achievement: "How many people are on the other side?"
"It's just one person."
"Only one person!"
"Don't underestimate the Chief of Baili Division of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"I know that it is rumored that any leader of the Twelve Divisions of Jingmen has the strength of the late Peiyuan Realm, and also has extraordinary abilities. In the world, people talk about the minions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"I have brought my words, and I will leave the rest to you. Also, I heard that Shangguan Chan is here too? I want to see her."
Shangguan Jin didn't think much about it: "You two have always been good friends, and it's been a long time since we last met. She is practicing swordsmanship in the woods behind the training ground. You can go find her yourself."
After saying this, the two of them went out separately.
Liu Ruyan said that Chang Feng would pass by here in a quarter of an hour. Shangguan Jin knew that time was tight, so he immediately summoned people to start planning the assassination operation.
However, Shangguan Jin has limited experts, and the opponent is the head of the Baili Division and one of the important personnel of the Twelve Divisions of Jingmen. Shangguan Jin cannot guarantee whether he can succeed. And once he takes action, the Red Flower Club will undoubtedly be exposed.
A secret stronghold will be subject to more severe suppression by the court. Therefore, the price to be paid for this operation is also very heavy.
Shangguan Jin did not dare to neglect at all, he had to arrange everything in the shortest possible time and mobilize all the combat power at his disposal.
Liu Ruyan, on the other hand, was very relaxed and walked calmly through the exhaust gas garden in the corner of the teaching field.
The forest is not big, and you can feel the chill of the sword wind in the forest from a distance. It is said that the sword follows your heart, and at this moment, you can feel that the mood of the person wielding the sword is not very beautiful.
Liu Ruyan was a very cautious person, so she did not go through the forest, but shouted through the small tree: "Shangguan Chan."
"Shangguanchan."
"Shangguan..."
Before the third shout was finished, a figure flashed out from the forest. Shangguan Chan shouted loudly and stood coldly in front of Liu Ruyan holding two swords, long and short.
"Liu Ruyan? Is it you?"
Friends who had not seen each other for a long time met but there was no excitement at all. On the contrary, a kind of hostility and defensiveness stood between the two people, making the atmosphere very strange.
Both of them knew in their hearts that the two people who used to talk about everything were in their current situation because of the same man.
"What? It's strange to see me?"
Shangguanchan put away the knife, turned back and walked into the forest: "Come in and talk."
The two of them arrived in the forest. There was an open space in the woods. There were haystacks of dead grass in the open space. Shangguan Chan lay down on the haystacks casually, while Liu Ruyan straightened her clothes and stood aside calmly.
Shangguan Chan breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you would never leave that courtyard again in this life."
"There is no way. I didn't think joining the Red Flower Club would do anything before. Now I understand that joining the Red Flower Club means getting myself into a quagmire. It's too difficult to get out. All I can do is stay between the Red Flower Club and the Xia family.
Dealing with each other. I just hope that this balance will not be broken too soon."
"From what you said, it seems that you really enjoy being a concubine."
"Sometimes, what does it matter if you are like a wife or a concubine?"
"You're in love with him?"
"Yes. I fell in love with him from the first time I saw him. And you know, I like pretty boys. He is very good-looking."
"You were deceived by him!"
"No." Liu Ruyan was very confident, "I heard what he said when you left at Liuzhuang. None of you noticed me, but I always paid attention to you. You told me at that time
You used the technique of gathering yang and replenishing yin on him. Instead of hating you, he actually fought tooth and nail for you. At that time, I felt very strange and wanted to know what kind of person he was, until I heard what he said to you.
Those, I know, he is a unique man in the world... No, he should be a weirdo." (To be continued)
