Wicked documents

For a long time in the past, Xi Ran seldom visited Sandcastle in person. Of course, there was no reason to go to this place. It was just that some unforgivable criminals were detained. , the daily maintenance of the prison is also in charge of the Lou family, the majestic emperor really doesn't have so much free time to take care of these trivial matters.

But recently, the emperor suddenly seemed to have an indissoluble bond with this prison, and it was his second visit in a short time.

Xiaobai just arrived here, less than five days have passed, he was personally escorted here by the emperor before, and by the way, he and his companion A Lan also left food and water for him, these necessities were still sufficient, and he didn't have time to feel the lack of food and clothing. .

Perhaps it can also be said that he was lucky. The sandcastle was actually empty at this stage, and there were no other prisoners in custody, so there was no need to worry about conflicts.It's not that Xiaobai underestimates himself, he's just very self-aware, knowing that with his current strength, it might be difficult to defeat the monster "Prisoner" with his bare hands.

It's not that Xiaobai didn't think about it, maybe Xiran did it on purpose.But I always feel that I am a little sentimental. On the one hand, I sentenced him to imprisonment, and on the other hand, I was worried about his safety in prison. No matter how I looked at it, Xi Ran did not seem to be such a contradictory person.

However, without the above-mentioned troubles, it is not that the sandcastle has become a pleasant scenic spot. The wind and sand alone are not something everyone can bear, and in this place, the strong wind that can roll livestock into the sky is a day. It will blow two or three times within a period, and those small winds that make people unable to open their eyes have never stopped, and there are simply too many to count.

Although the sand castle is still a fortress, it is a pity that it has been severely corroded by the wind. It is impossible to find a place that is completely sheltered from the wind. The best way is to change the hiding place several times a day according to different wind directions.

The Bai people are in a difficult situation in this world. Every member seems to have an innate talent in adapting to the environment. It didn't take long for the two of them to figure out the law of the strong wind near the sandcastle.

At this moment, Xiaobai is sitting at the base of a relatively solid broken wall. Compared with the howling winds elsewhere, this place can be regarded as a safe haven.

As for Ah Lan, unable to hold back her thirst, she decided to fetch some water, but it wasn't here.

When Xi Ran landed on the top of the wall, Xiao Bai didn't look back, but he could tell who it was from the shadow cast.If anything, it's really unbelievable, the light stretched Xiran's shadow and deformed it, there is really no basis for speculation.

But it doesn't make sense, Xiaobai just knows it, and even affirms it.

"What are you doing here? Are you regretting it, and think that even if a person like me is locked up in this barren place, it is still a hidden danger, so I should just kill him?" The emperor came, but Xiaobai had no intention of standing up to greet him .Besides, he was just a prisoner who was forced to stay here, not the owner of this place.

Xi Ran came here all the way, without even having a real face-to-face meeting, when she suddenly heard such yin and yang words, she was really annoyed.

In order to avoid being really provoked and killed, Xi Ran sat down on the wall with a gloomy expression.The long red hair and the black robe were blown by the strong wind and united into a bright banner.

In fact, Xiaobai regretted it immediately after he uttered the sex-filled words. Even though he couldn't control his malicious speculation, he still couldn't help holding the last sliver of hope in his selfishness——Xi Ran came here at this time, Could it be that she was really worried about him?Even with the physical fitness of a monster, it is difficult to survive in the sandcastle, maybe Xiran has already regretted his sentence that day.

After listening for a while, except for the sound of the wind, there was the sound of the cloth flapping, Xiaobai couldn't hear Xi Ran voluntarily say a word.Well, he had to admit that the silence at the moment was completely caused by his bad attitude.

"Before you went to Fenghook Mountain to issue rewards. At that time, I could still entertain with good wine and good food, but in this place, there is nothing." After holding back for a long time, Xiao Bai choked out such a sentence, which still sounded pleasant No fate, but the attitude has eased a little, and it is no longer so aggressive.

Since saving this kid on the altar, Xiran can say that he has watched him grow up bit by bit, even if it wasn't intentional, it is inevitable that he will be pampering a child.

No matter how angry Xi Ran was, she couldn't really show it to a human being who was much younger than herself.

Sensing the distance between the two, Xi Ran jumped off the broken wall and walked to Xiao Bai's side. He didn't dislike the yellow sand all over the ground, and sat down next to Xiao Bai.The problem has not been solved, and of course the estrangement between them cannot be eliminated, but Xi Ran thinks that she has tried her best to ease it. "Xiaobai, tell me the truth, what exactly do you want to do?"

"The imperial court has discovered the arsenal of Fenggou Mountain." Xiao Bai didn't ask, he was sure of it.From the day he was convicted, he knew that things would gradually get out of his control, and it would get worse.

Xi Ran let out a long sigh, thinking that she was about to die of sorrow. "To be honest, I was really scared. About the newly discovered iron ore in Fenghook Mountain, I knew about it before the old man Meishu came to tell me, but I chose to turn a blind eye. I originally thought that you would secretly mine some iron ore, manufacture some necessary...uh...weapons, and then in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you would take the initiative to hand over the mine to the imperial court. As for your small actions, as long as they are not excessive , can all be uncovered with one stroke.”

Xiao Bai was stunned.To be precise, when he heard that Xiran had known about the new vein early in the morning, his mind was in a daze and buzzed on the spot.After finally forcing himself to calm down, Xiao Bai couldn't help laughing at his innocence.

In fact, as long as you think about it from the perspective of a bystander, you can understand that it is common sense for Xiran to know in advance, and it would be really abnormal if he didn't know.Can it still be expected that His Majesty the Emperor will only sit high and high in the temple, and wait for his courtiers to report all major and minor matters in the world?It's true that the dark team in the hands of the emperor is all a display.

Xiaobai just thought he was ridiculous, and he was still begging before the Dongchuang incident happened, the longer the matter of the new mine can be kept hidden, the better.

He couldn't tell what emotion he was feeling at the moment, it was as if a hard stone was stuffed into his chest in an instant, and he couldn't get up or down, which made him extremely uncomfortable.Even though he expected that what Xi Ran said next would definitely not meet his expectations, he could only continue listening with his neck stuck.

"Xiaobai, I have always thought you are very smart. You have always been very good at what you can't do, what you can do, and how well you can do it. Iron ore is very meaningful, and it's understandable that you don't want to let it go. But you should know that it cannot be guaranteed, and how to obtain the maximum benefit without arousing the resentment of the officials in the court is what you should consider."

Xi Ran's voice was gentle, even light-hearted, but he still let the only listener hear every word he said. I really don't know how he did it. Perhaps the howling wind around him was originally under his control. "I always thought that you would accept it as soon as you see it."

In the previous trial, Xiaobai once said that the reason why he came to where he is today is largely due to Xiran's connivance.

Just hearing this ignorant statement, Xi Ran was naturally furious.However, after thinking about it in private, Xi Ran had to admit that this was indeed true, at least a part of it.

"Take it as soon as you see it?" Xiaobai repeated the word several times in his mouth, and then smiled mockingly. He was not only laughing at his own incompetence, but also at the other party's innocence. "Probably, I haven't gotten enough out of that new iron ore."

"Not enough?!" Xi Ran almost jumped up on the spot in anger, but he took a few deep breaths and managed to control six or seven points of his anger.

Still sitting at the same place, Xiran yelled at Xiaobai with a suppressed voice, "Are all the weapons in your warehouse fake? Short-range and long-range, there are a complete range. There are also those parts that are urgently needed to be assembled. Although I I have never seen it before, but I can guess that it must be a siege machine newly developed by your human craftsmen. These things are enough to support a small-scale war, but you told me... the benefits are not enough ?!"

Xi Ran couldn't bear the last sentence so much that she broke her voice.Xiaobai felt a little guilty on the spot, not because of what Xiran accused, but because of his attitude at this time.

Probably, he had been pampered for too long, Xiaobai was at a loss as to what to do in the face of unprecedented severity.

After a long call, Xi Ran didn't feel that her mood had improved, on the contrary, she was even more furious.However, Xiran is Xiran after all, as the king of monsters, his noble blood is not enough, he also has half of the wisdom needed by a monarch.At this moment, Rao's anger kept rising, but it didn't completely burn his reason.

On the contrary, anger seemed to be an extremely effective catalyst, causing Xiran's thoughts to run at an incredible speed.

"What the hell did you do?" An extremely terrifying thought flashed through, Xi Ran narrowed her eyes, the sharp eyes made the monster emperor look quite dangerous.

"The weapons you prepared are not limited to the self-defense forces of Fenghook Mountain? You have other forces in your hands!"

"Lou Tianyao should have already reported it, and I expanded the self-defense force without authorization." Having said this, Xiaobai knew that it was useless to argue no matter what, so he was not so much talking seriously, but rather It's better to just find something to find fault.

Xi Ran sneered.This guy Xiaobai doesn't even want to make excuses to be serious. With such a perfunctory attitude, who would believe that he didn't do it on purpose? "Self-Defense Force? According to the organization agreed at the beginning, even if you triple the number of people, you will never run out of these weapons. Xiaobai, Xiaobai, you are really smart. Your so-called expansion of the Self-Defense Force is all done Did you show it to Lou Tianyao?"

Some movements cannot be seamlessly covered up, since they will definitely be discovered, then the part that can be shown in front of others will be exposed.Which of the monsters and dignitaries in the court doesn't want to catch Xiaobai's pigtails, they will catch even the slightest crime, let alone a felony such as expanding the self-defense force without permission?Grasping this point, as for other things, even if there are many unreasonable details, the monsters and dignitaries must not be in the mood to think about it.

Xiaobai's approach is undoubtedly quite risky, but from another perspective, this is also a strange move he adopted after fully guessing people's hearts.

Xiao Bai didn't speak, no matter whether he really wanted to be silent or not, he seemed to have nothing more to say in this situation.

"Now how many troops do you have in total, can you tell me?" Xi Ran didn't continue to give orders, because he knew that even the emperor's imperial order would be useless at this time.To put it bluntly, Xiaobai is a prisoner, life and death are not something he can control, and there are really not many things that Xiran can use to threaten him.

Still silent, even the expression hanging on Xiaobai's face did not change, it was a kind of lifeless calm, like a mask made of stone, the details were not clearly carved, it was completely hard and wooden.

Xi Ran smiled wryly, "You refuse to say, so it can be seen that the number of troops is quite large. Since you dared to personally escort the ore to the imperial capital, you must be ready to be captured, no, it should be said that you are ready to die. You must have made proper arrangements for this army that has been quietly established, and there will be suitable people to lead them after you."

Xi Ran knew very well that unless Xiao Bai told the whole story, no one would be able to dig this army out of the vast sea of ​​people. Unlike monsters and beasts, the number of Bai people was really too much.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if this army has to choose to retreat because of the loss of Xiaobai as the leader, and disappears from now on, their existence will always be just a hidden danger.

There was even a possibility that the weapons found in the secret warehouse of Fenggou Mountain were only part of them, and because of time constraints, it was too late to transport them all away, so Xiaobai simply exposed them.The idea of ​​this matter is exactly the same as the so-called "Self-Defense Force Expansion".

Pressing his forehead, Xi Ran forced himself to take back his thinking track. Such a speculation is simply a terrifying bottomless pit, and he can hardly tell whether he is trying to figure out what to do, or whether he is trying to lose everything.

Inferring the number of troops from the number of weapons is a huge problem that Xi Ran has to pay close attention to, and if the incident discussed today is placed in the court, it will still cause an uproar.

From the standpoint of the king of a country, Xiran must try to solve this problem with a serious attitude.

But how can we handle it properly?

Threats and lures are used to the utmost extent, and Xiaobai tricks out the hiding place of the army?No, this is really not a good way.

Once a huge army composed of the Bai people appears, it will inevitably lead to a bloody surrender.Even if Xiran can be ruthless this time, is the large-scale casualties of the Bai people really a good thing for the monsters?Things will be reversed when things are extreme, the same people are completely annihilated, and the remaining Bai people can really turn a blind eye. Wouldn't they take more fierce resistance because of this, if they don't rebel, they will be forced to rebel.

Are you going to pretend nothing happened?Anyway, there is no clear evidence about this army, everything is just a speculation.It's a pity that Xiran will never do this.

Just because she inadvertently felt the pressure in the dark, Xi Ran began to worry unnecessarily about the future inheritance of her family. Even if the extinction of monsters and beasts would only come in the extremely distant future, in short, Xi Ran might not see it in her lifetime. , but he is still planning for a rainy day, trying to change the trajectory of the "Day of Heaven" with all his life.

Actually, there is another way -

Inspired by Xiao Baibing's strange move, Xi Ran also came up with a seemingly simple and straightforward method, but in fact it is likely to change the situation.

But before implementing it, Xiran still has some things that he wants to ask Xiaobai clearly.
