Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight: Falling into a Vortex
"The source of the mineral vein? How do the Dongli people know such secrets?"
Yaowan was puzzled, but Bai Ling was confused. Apart from confusion, just listening to the tone of Bai Ling's question, he could already feel that the Lord of Hancheng was angry.
Yaowan looked at Bai Ling, then at Xu Ning'er, and quickly pulled out the chair next to him, taking care of Xu Ning'er and sitting down before talking.
Bai Ling also knew that she was losing her temper, so she straightened a porcelain cup for Xu Ning'er and poured it seven cents full for her.
Xu Ning'er nodded slightly, walked over and sat down. As soon as she sat down, Bai Ling moved the wastewater bucket to Xu Ning'er's side.
Just when Yao Wang was a little confused, Xu Ning'er raised the tea cup and drank all the tea in her mouth. The next moment, Yao Wang was confused.
Xu Ning'er did not swallow the tea, but used it to rinse her mouth. Then she spit the tea into the waste water bucket.
Yaowang, the Thief King, had sharp eyes. He saw that there was red phlegm and other debris in the tea spit out by Xu Ning'er.
Yaowan couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly and his eyelids twitched. He was curious, had Xu Ning'er vomited just now? Looking at Bai Ling's movement of moving the waste water bucket, it seemed that Xu Ning'er had vomited like this not once or twice.
Yaowang couldn't help but be a little more curious about Xu Ning'er. She thought she was a quiet girl who existed as the maid of Mrs. Huaying. Now it seems that she underestimated this little girl.
After Xu Ning'er finished vomiting the tea, Bai Ling took another cup for her, but the cup was filled with water instead of tea.
Xu Ning'er raised the cup and took a sip, then said: "City Lord, you should send someone to find Qiu Batian and Qiu Hailong brothers early."
"Ba Tian? Hai Long?"
When Yaowan heard these two names, he became interested. He didn't know whose parents came up with such names.
Seeing Yao Wang's reaction, Bai Ling couldn't help being curious and asked, "Bai Ying, do you know the enemy brothers?"
Yaowan waved his hand and hurriedly explained: "I don't know, I don't know. I just heard the names of these two brothers, they are very domineering, and I don't know how powerful their parents must be."
When Bai Ling heard that it was a joke, he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly and said, "I really don't know who their parents are."
But Xu Ning'er's next words interrupted the teasing, and she said: "City Lord, since the enemy brothers left Hansu City, have you received any response at all?"
When Xu Ning'er said this, Bai Ling couldn't help but be stunned, then opened her eyes wide and said: "In the past..."
Before Bai Ling finished speaking, Xu Ning'er interrupted him: "This time, the enemy brothers are not going to a battlefield where swords and guns are open."
Bai Ling couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. Yaowan was confused by the riddles of the two men. He held the porcelain cup and frowned, looking at the two men from left to right.
There was silence for a moment, Bai Ling frowned and kept tapping the table with his fingers.
When ordinary people are at a loss, when they tap their fingers on the table, the result is an annoying tapping sound at best. If the tap is stronger, it will make the things on the table vibrate slightly.
But Bai Ling kept tapping his fingers on the table, and Yaowu felt that the air flow was constantly changing with his fingers as the center.
The air flow gathered into a slight tornado, but after a while, the slight tornado dispersed and began to flow around.
Yaowan looked at Xu Ning'er beside her. She squinted slightly, probably because the chaotic wind made her eyes uncomfortable. But there was no trace of surprise on her face.
The white shadow thief couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile on his face. He just stared at Bai Ling, and
Bai Ling was still frowning in thought. Naturally, her fingers tapping on the table had no intention of stopping.
Finally, Bai Ling's fingers stopped tapping, but the worry in his eyes did not fade away. He raised his head, stared at Xu Ning'er, and said, "Contact the people in Luo City and report back the situation in Luo City as soon as possible."
"Luo City? You sent people to transport copper and iron to Luo City?"
Yaowan couldn't help but wonder and screamed out. He was completely confused at this moment. How could Bai Ling send someone to escort Tongtie to Luo City?
He had such a reaction to Luo City, not just because Muhan Tower was in Luo City.
"City Lord Bai Ling, could it be that you have other buyers in Luo City?"
Bai Ling came back to her senses when she was suddenly asked by Yaowan. It was originally an embarrassing question, but Bai Ling smiled indifferently.
Later, I heard him say calmly: "Yes, of course there is. Since we have some things in common for a while, there is no need to hide it from you. Although I don't hide it from you, I can't tell you.
Who is the buyer?"
Yaowu frowned slightly and asked: "Is it also the Jianghu sect?"
As he wished, Bai Ling shook his head. Although he didn't tell him explicitly, it was just such an answer, which made Yaowuan feel a little relieved.
After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
Since Muhan Tower is in Luo City, how can it allow other Jianghu sects to become more powerful.
But his heart felt relieved for a short while, and Yaowang frowned again. Bai Ling had already nodded. The buyers of the copper and iron escorted there were not Jianghu sects. In this case, the buyers were the officials.
Seeing the change in Yaowan's expression, Bai Ling smiled, and then said: "Bai Ying, there are some things that you green forest people shouldn't know, and don't try to find out. This is a warning from a friend."
After hearing this, Yaowan grinned and replied: "But, Lord Bai Ling, since I, Muhanlou, dare to travel thousands of miles to Hancheng to do business with you, there are some things that don't need to be revealed too much."
The two of them are also a riddle, but Xu Ning'er is different. She has no interest in trying to understand.
Bai Ling no longer took the chance. He looked at Xu Ning'er again and said, "Ning'er, please continue."
Xu Ning'er nodded and said: "City Lord, have you ever thought that maybe the Dongli people who kidnapped the stone Buddha and the envoys who came to Hancheng are not the same group of people?"
When Xu Ning'er said these words, Bai Ling was deep in thought and Yaowan was confused.
They were all from Dongli, how could they tell if they were from the same group? These words completely put him off, and he could only look at Xu Ning'er with a confused look on his face.
Bai Ling chuckled and said: "Bai Ying, you are not good at strategizing. You can't see any clues, so it's not surprising."
Yaowu didn't care about Bai Ling's evaluation. He asked: "City Lord Bai Ling, you have to tell me first what's going on with this stone Buddha, right?"
When Bai Ling heard this, he realized that Yaowu had indeed killed many people from Dongli, but the news about the stone Buddha's almost being robbed had been blocked.
But as he said before, you shouldn't know what you shouldn't know. Naturally, you shouldn't ask.
Seeing Yaowu's questioning, Xu Ning'er immediately changed the subject and asked: "Hero Baiying, if it were you, would you cause an angry trouble before your delegation enters the city?"
Yaowan chuckled and said, "Isn't this something that a stupid roe deer would do? If trouble is caused in advance, wouldn't those guys who enter the city just wait to die?"
Yaowu couldn't help but frown as he finished speaking. Bai Ling and Xu Ning'er, one with a playful look on their face, the other with an expressionless face, looked at each other.
The same thing was that both of them were staring directly at him.
"So, what do you think?"
Xu Ning'er was a little embarrassed and a little wary. She looked at Bai Ling. Bai Ling only responded to her with a smile and a slight nod.
Xu Ning'er was still reluctant, but with Bai Ling's intention, no matter how reluctant she was, she still had to talk to Yao Wang.
"Hero Baiying, have you ever thought that in a country, there are often two waves of people: those who advocate war and those who advocate peace?"
Yaowang seemed to understand a little, and asked uncertainly: "What do you mean, those who robbed your stone Buddha are the ones who are in charge of war, and those Dongli envoys are the ones who are in charge of peace?"
Xu Ning'er listened, nodded, and added: "Moreover, these two waves of people, maybe those Dongli people who are the ones leading the peace, don't know that the compatriots who are leading the war have started taking action before them."
The words had been said and explained clearly, but Yaowu still shook his head, puzzled, and asked: "If it's just like what you said, two waves of people came from Dongli, then I dare to ask, who have been in Hansu all this time?"
The Dongli people who are causing trouble in the city belong to which group?"
Bai Ling was a little dazed when Yaowan suddenly asked him this question. To be honest, he had never thought about which group the Dongli people who caused trouble in Hansu City belonged to.
Yaowan smiled and continued to ask: "Can I understand in this way that these people may really be members of the Zhuhe faction? Because, this so-called Zhuhe faction never thought of a good negotiation from the beginning.
.So they will send a group of ninjas first. If these ninjas do something, then they have done something. But if these ninjas do nothing, then they can be used to frame the person in charge of the battle?"
After hearing Yao Wang's introduction, Xu Ning'er became even more silent. She actually felt that Yao Wang's words were quite reasonable.
"So, no matter what the real purpose is, there must be many Dongli ninja assassins lurking in our Hansu City. And often, the first wave sent out will definitely not be elite."
Hearing Xu Ning'er's explanation, Yaowu couldn't help but panic. Not only him, but also his companions in Devil May Cry, many of them destroyed the Dongli ninjas.
If what Xu Ning'er said is true, then these Dongli ninjas lost so many soldiers and generals, how could the people behind the scenes not want to wait for an opportunity to retaliate?
Yaowan began to worry about Buran's safety. No, she was not Buran, the maid of Taohua Temple, she was his wife, even though he still didn't know what happened in the past.
However, she is his wife, his Wanqing, not Butain.
Yaowu didn't dare to stay, so he stood up, grabbed the door and left.
What copper and iron, what peach blossom nunnery, let everything go to hell. Only Wanqing, no one can offend.
Seeing Yaowan leaving in a hurry, a mysterious smile appeared on Bai Ling's face.
Seeing Bai Ling's smile, Xu Ning'er couldn't help but sigh. Seeing this, Bai Ling was a little puzzled and asked, "Ning'er, why are you sighing?"
Xu Ning'er smiled awkwardly and said: "City Lord, do you really think this is foolish and you have no choice but to trust me?"
Bai Ling nodded, and then said: "No matter how you say it, we can be considered brothers-in-law. Since we are brothers-in-law, how can we not know each other's weaknesses? By the way, Ning'er, those brothers are all ready?"
Xu Ning'er nodded, and then said: "I did what the city lord asked me to do. The ones I picked were all strong-boned and unencumbered. But the city lord, Ning'er didn't understand why the city lord had to let Mu Hanlou get involved.
In the whirlpool?”
Bai Ling smiled at first, but then he looked helpless and said, "Because, Hancheng's largest business partner, the largest buyer of copper and iron, is Mu Hanlou."
