Chapter 291 The Three Giants of Heaven and Earth Gate
Liu Xingyan carefully looked at Duanmu Ling's expression, not seeing any emotion in it.
She raised her hand and waved it sheepishly: "I know you are very touched, but actually it's nothing. We have worked together for so many years, and we are considered old friends after all. Don't take this to heart."
Duanmuling turned his head stiffly and looked at her: "Staying with Aristolochia-soaked silk thread all night didn't make you stupid?"
Liu Xingyan was very proud: "You also know that I am invulnerable to all poisons, otherwise the sect master would not have specifically asked me to take care of you. This is not because he is afraid of something unexpected happening to you."
Duanmuling nodded: "I now believe that God is fair. If he gives you something, he will definitely take away something else that is equally important."
Liu Xingyan was curious: "Are you talking about me? But I don't feel like I'm lacking anything? Except for Tian Jian Hongyan, the little ones I raised are always short-lived."
Duanmuling threw the handkerchief back and continued to lie back on the bed with a straight face: "Take this thing back. I don't have a body that is invulnerable to all poisons like you. If I don't have time to cover others to death, I will cover myself first."
died."
Liu Xingyan caught the handkerchief floating over: "Oh, isn't this pretty? I know you only like to use brocade handkerchiefs embroidered with bamboo, but I didn't buy one for a while."
Duanmuling was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered the unusual commotion last night. He narrowed his eyes: "Whose person made a move last night?"
They are now a patient and a woman, and it is not convenient for them to go out to check for information, but he can guess that someone finally couldn't help but take action, is it the emperor?
He remembered the scene in the tomb when the emperor dragged him all the way. He was not as ruthless as the rumors said, and then he had other thoughts: he was just worried that he would not be able to get out alive if he died.
, besides, if it hadn’t been for giving him the antidote to the poison, I wouldn’t have been in such a miserable state in the tomb!
With this thought, his poor conscience was appeased and he no longer came out to embarrass him.
As for Duanmu Xi, he has grown up and is no longer a child. Now that he has made a choice, he should face it openly and honestly. To be honest, he is really looking forward to seeing his unappreciated person for so many years.
What happened to the concubine brother?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly frowned and was keenly aware of someone approaching. He looked at Liu Xingyan and the two of them moved to both sides of the door in a tacit understanding.
There was a casual knock on the door, but no one paid attention to it. Soon the person knocking on the door became impatient and immediately put his foot up to kick it. As a result, before his foot even touched the edge of the door, the door opened from the inside.
Before he could take his feet back, Yan Li quickly put his feet down to stabilize his body. This flash almost broke his waist. He glared at the two people in the room who were laughing and leaning back: "You did it on purpose."
Angrily, he squeezed into the room and kicked the door shut. Yanli had a pair of narrow eyes. Even if he didn't deliberately make any expression, people would have no reason to think that this person must be very treacherous and someone who is not easy to mess with.
Nanli and Duanmu Ling often laughed at each other because of this. Nanli said that Duanmuling looked like a poor teacher at first glance, and Duanmu Ling mocked that Nanli looked like a gangster at first glance. Even a newborn child would be so scared to turn around when he saw him.
run.
Liu Xingyan had to persuade the two of them with earnest words, which was not easy. She told Nanli not to say that Prince Sanbao was a first-class official in the dynasty, and his salary was several times that of poor people like them, but to talk about the gentlemen of the Imperial College
Everyone lives a very prosperous life, which shows that not all those who teach are poor.
Then he told Duanmuling righteously that he was wrong for talking nonsense. How could a newborn child turn around and run away without even opening its eyes? Wouldn't it mean that he had become a spirit?
Yanli and Duanmuling listened to her talking more and more energetically beside them, and finally their faces darkened at the same time: "Can you shut up!"
Liu Xingyan looked very aggrieved: "Why did you throw heat on me when you were arguing? Is it because I picked the weak one?" He was extremely aggrieved.
Duanmu Ling and Yan Li glanced at the long whip tied around her waist at the same time, and they recalled the last time they accidentally got separated when they went out to drink together.
When they went back to look for Liu Xingyan, they saw a few indifferent young men from rich families surrounding Liu Xingyan, wanting to invite her to have a few drinks. However, Liu Xingyan couldn't even raise her eyelids and was so angry that she was all over the place.
I shuddered and had a new definition of "soft persimmon".
At this moment, Ruanshizi was standing in front of them, accusing them of their rude behavior. Yanli and Duanmuling held their foreheads at the same time. Was this woman sent by the sect master to torture them both?
There are only two deputy sect leaders in Tiandi Sect, namely Yanli and Duanmu Ling, each of whom is responsible for two departments. As for Liu Xingyan, she is neither the deputy sect leader nor the leader of any department. It seems that she is outside the system.
of.
But she is not. She can directly communicate with the heads of various departments and the sect masters. Many times what she conveys are the sect masters' orders. Even Yanli and Duanmuling often have to obey her arrangements.
Therefore, Liu Xingyan's position in the Heaven and Earth Sect can be said to be quite special. Usually everyone puts her on the same level as the two deputy sect leaders. These three people become the "Big Three" of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
It’s noisy, so if you’re in a hurry, just do it.
All three of them came to the capital at once, and the Heaven and Earth Gate suddenly became much quieter, and everyone could finally live a more stable life.
In the end, Duanmuling had the courage to change the subject: "Hei...Nanli, what did you come to the capital for this time? Did the sect master have any new instructions?"
Yanli pretended not to hear the black words he blurted out, and waved to the two of them seriously: "You should also have noticed the commotion at the city gate last night, right?"
Duanmuling and Liu Xingyan nodded at the same time.
Yanli continued: "The emperor planned to sneak away in the middle of the night, but Prince Huai's people noticed it, and he immediately took action."
Duanmuling thought for a while: "Logically speaking, the emperor has no chance of winning. In a place like that, even if he has more people than Prince Huai, he will not be able to exert his advantage."
Liu Xingyan shook his head: "No, he won, otherwise there wouldn't be any news yet."
Yanli nodded approvingly: "Wu Sangui suddenly appeared and worked with the emperor inside and outside to break down the city gate, and the emperor ran away."
"So what are we going to do this time?" Duanmuling had actually vaguely guessed it. Since he was injured, he didn't know how to deal with the Samsara Sword, but now it seems that they no longer need to stay in the capital.
