Countryside Rhapsody

None of the people present dared to speak, and no one opened their mouths to speak. They didn't know what they should say, and they didn't know what they should say. delicate balance.

He Lianying stood with his hands behind his back, looking around at the frowning crowd. Now that he has become the person who controls the overall situation, he may not feel at ease in his heart. He must implant this majesty deeply into the bones of these people, Let them not dare to make mistakes in front of him.

This is the third step Qin Boran wants him to take. Only after completing these three steps can he firmly control these people. Compared with his previous plan, Qin Boran helped him shorten the length of time. A section of the road, this shortened road has evolved into guard against Qin Boran in his heart.

"Helian Yingdou has never liked to be difficult for others." At the center of the storm, Helian Yingdou's tone was calm, and every word was a wake-up call, reminding everyone present: "I would like to give you some time to think about your Leave the question."

"Qinlan, prepare tea for gentlemen." Helian Yingdou called his maid: "I will only increase the psychological burden of gentlemen here, you have to treat these distinguished guests well for me."

"Qin Lan takes orders."

Helian Yingdou left, leaving Qinlan as a little girl to face these monks who have a place in the Jianghu. Although Qinlan is young, she does not have the slightest stage fright and fear. She has a spring-like smile on her face and a gentle tone. And tactfully: "Please take your seats, gentlemen, and let Qin Lan serve tea to you gentlemen."

Qinlan, who is about the same age as Huanyue and Taorui, is dressed differently from them. Just like her name, Qinlan is wearing a water-blue dress. There is an orchid-shaped hair ornament on the hairpin. Ming Ming is not very old, but it makes people feel gentle and virtuous.

After coming here for a few days, everyone has naturally seen many maids under Helian Yingdou, each maid has a different style, Huanyue is a flamboyant heroine, Taorui is a carefree girl, Qinlan is a virtuous lady , in addition to the beautiful scenery here, the people here are also a beautiful scenery.

Even though Qinlan didn't seem to have the slightest effort, but was only concentrating on pouring tea for everyone, none of the people present dared to act rashly. Helian Yingdou's keeping Qinlan here was obviously a warning to them, and no one could be the first one. A man who speaks.

"Get in the way!" Someone still couldn't help but speak first, it was a monk with a 40-[-]-year-old appearance, wearing a green bamboo gown, but the expression on his face and the momentum around him had completely exposed him, even if Wearing a green bamboo shirt, he is not a person with bamboo character: "If Qin Boran is not so troublesome, how could we be threatened by a little ghost?"

Qin Lan seemed not to have heard the words of the man in the green bamboo and green shirt, she poured the tea with a steady hand, exactly the same time as before.

Standing beside the monk, a monk wearing white clothes with blue auspicious cloud patterns reminded: "Brother Qian, be careful."

"Hmph." The green bamboo and green shirt monk called "Brother Qian" snorted coldly: "Su Zhiyun, are you still afraid of a little girl? I, Qian Xiong, promised that little baby to come here, but I didn't come here To experience his majesty! A down and out prince is not yet qualified to order me."

"Really?" The persuasion was ineffective, and Su Zhiyun didn't say much anymore. He knew Qian Xiong's personality, even if he dressed up as a Mr. Pianpian, he still couldn't change his gangster spirit. Surrender is absolutely impossible, but seeing Helian Yingdou again now, there are some discrepancies from the image when we first met, Su Zhiyun is still hesitating in his heart, is Helian Yingdou a wise master?

Su Zhiyun, like Qian Xiong, represents not only themselves, but also the power of the family behind them. As a small or small cultivation family, relying on their own strength to survive in today's world is no longer enough. It was possible, so when Helian Yingdou offered an olive branch, the people in the clan immediately decided to accept it.

What I was thinking at the time was that something is better than nothing, and the person who bent over at that time was Helian Yingdou, so each of them felt very honored, what an honor it was to be able to get the prince to bend over?

In such an atmosphere, I seem to be a little swayed?

Su Zhiyun raised his eyes and saw Yun Shengyue's gaze, which was slightly provocative, as if he was laughing at himself.

He knew what Yun Shengyue was laughing at, he chuckled, and didn't take Yun Shengyue's contempt to heart, just took the tea Qin Lan handed over with both hands, and said to Qin Lan: "The Su family should be regarded as a family of three. Your Highness works, in this chaotic world, since the Third Highness is willing to protect my Su family, Su Zhiyun will naturally help, and the kindness of a drop of water springs up to protect. At that time, the Third Highness helped my Su family to expel monsters, Su Zhiyun dare not forget. "

Hearing Su Zhiyun's words, Qin Lan just nodded lightly: "Your Highness must understand Mr. Su's intentions."

"Thank you."

After making a choice, Su Zhiyun felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, walked slowly to the chair Helian Yingdou had prepared for them, sat down, savored the cup of tea in his hand, and ignored the undercurrent among the crowd turbulent.

Seeing Su Zhiyun's choice, Qian Xiong felt betrayed, and angrily said, "Su Zhiyun, where's your integrity?"

Su Zhiyun glanced lightly at Qian Xiong, and explained: "Brother Qian, you must know how to be grateful."

"Hmph." The words were not speculative, Qian Xiong stopped wasting words, and just gave Su Zhiyun a look: "Unexpectedly, you are just a coward."

Su Zhiyun was not angry at Qian Xiong's words. There are so many bad words in the world, and it's enough to listen to them, but the right to choose is only once, and if you miss it, you may regret it for a lifetime.

"Mr. Qian, do you have the same feeling?" This time it was a young man in his early twenties who spoke, and he also looked like he was about to go to the sky: "Xie Shutong also felt the same, obviously he was the one who begged for it at the beginning. We came here, why did we change our face as soon as we got here, it's really infuriating!"

"Exactly." Qian Xiong said to Jie Shutong as if he had found a bosom friend: "That guy named Qin Boran is in the way! He is obviously a proud disciple of the Nine Breath Sect, so why come out and get in the way, wouldn't it be good to concentrate on cultivating the Tao?"

"Yes." Xie Shutong also felt the same way: "What kind of code, what kind of ruler is the leader of ministers, what does he think of us?! He wants other people's slaves to be his own business, but now he wants to involve all of us, but Have you ever been kind?"

"Don't you just want to show off your abilities in front of His Highness? What are your plans?" Qian Xiong snorted coldly, "If His Highness agrees to formulate rules and regulations, who would you say will be responsible for implementing them?"

"You Qin Boran, it's too much to count us all in!" Xie Shutong clenched the folding fan tightly in his hand: "Your Highness has been deceived by him now, and we will be restrained by him in the future. Can you stay?!"

"That's right." Another person joined Qian Xiong and Jie Shutong's team. It was an old man with gray hair. Although his hair was gray, he was hale and hearty, with a fierce look in his eyes: "I, Shen Baiqi, came here for a To show off, not to be someone else's slave."

"Yes, now that Helian Yingdou wants to treat us as slaves, isn't that a violation of the promise he made when he invited us?" Xie Shutong showed an angry face: "If we don't keep our promise, we can still have a good relationship with him. What kind of treatment? Maybe you will die tomorrow, and you will lose your life tomorrow!"

Under Jie Shutong's eloquent tongue, five of the nine people present were persuaded by them, and they felt withdrawn in their hearts. After scolding Qin Boran, they said to Qin Lan : "Tell Your Highness for us, don't conspire with him if we have different ways, let's take our leave first."

Qin Lan didn't stop them from leaving, she just bowed her body and said, "Gentlemen, go slowly."

I don't even mind being overturned by those people when they are impassioned.

Now there are only four people left in the main room.

Su Zhiyun, who represented his family, and Yun Shengyue, who represented his sect, could only represent Wu Yan, a casual cultivator of his own, and the old man with a hook-nosed wood-grain mask who had never spoken.

The four of them sat in their seats, none of them spoke, and they all just quietly tasted the cup of tea in their hands, as if the discussion of the five people who left just now had nothing to do with them, Qinlan cleaned up quietly The mess in the main room did not use spells, nor did it make any noise.

The five of Qian Xiong came out of the main room, did not stay anywhere, and left towards the place where they came in. When they approached the gate, they saw two maids holding trays waiting for them.

The two maids who were waiting for them looked exactly the same, and they were the same age as the three of Qin Lan, except that the two girls were both wearing plain white clothes, and their hair was in a bun, and one of them was leaning to the left. One of them leaned to the right, and the hair ornaments of both of them looked like a silver crescent moon, and they were inserted in the hair, adding a little more desertedness.

"Feng Yue, Shi Jian, and the master's order to send a few gentlemen here."

Fengyue and Shijian spoke at the same time, their eyes were expressionless, as if two mourners were making everyone feel unhappy. Although the two girls were beautiful with pale pink flowers between their eyebrows, they were all over the place because of their plain white attire. The body is cold.

Not to mention that the wooden trays they were carrying were covered with a layer of white gauze.

"I don't know what His Highness gave you?" Suppressing the displeasure in his heart, Qian Xiong asked instead of everyone.

A gust of wind blew away the gauze on the trays, and what appeared on the two trays were five medium-sized wine bottles.

"I would like to invite all gentlemen to have a taste of the fine wine of the palace."

If the drink is not weird, no one will believe it, but if they don't drink the drink carefully prepared by Helian Yingdou, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave here. Just when Qian Xiong was still thinking about advancing and retreating, Jie Shutong stepped forward One step was the first to pick up the wine glass.

"His Majesty's kindness, to read the book and learn the lesson, drink this glass of wine, and from now on, Tianya will be a passerby."

After drinking it all, Xie Shutong only felt that the wine in his mouth was hot and heart-burning. Xie Shutong can guarantee that he has never had a worse wine than this, and he will never encounter a worse wine than this in the future. Think about it After understanding the meaning of the taste of the wine, Jie Shutong just let out a cold snort, and slammed the wine glass back onto the tray.

Regardless of the attitude of the person in front of them, the expressions of Feng Yue and Shi Jian did not change at all, neither timid nor angry.

Each of the five people present drank the wine in the glass, and the feeling of the remaining four people towards the wine was no different from that of Xie Shutong. After drinking the wine, no one could put on a good face. Especially the irritable Qian Xiong glared at Fengyue and Shijian angrily: "Are you two playing tricks on us? Such a bad drink deserves to be called imperial wine?"

Feng Yue and Shi Jian were not angry, they said in unison: "Thousands of miles, the fragrance of the heart is fragrant."

"What do you mean?!" Qian Xiong was furious: "Is it because my heart is ugly?!"

Feng Yue and Shi Jian didn't answer this question, but retreated to both sides of the road on their own, and the gate behind them had also opened.

Qian Xiong wanted to say something, but was held back by Jie Shutong, who said to Qian Xiong in a low voice: "Brother Qian, we are here, and nothing we do can escape the eyes of His Highness the Third Highness. Waiting outside..."

Xie Shutong's eyes and Qian Dazhi understood, and he didn't say much immediately, but just let out a heavy snort when he passed Fengyue and Shijian, as if he had an endless amount of anger to vent.

When the five people filed out, the door suddenly closed behind the five of them, shutting them out without a trace of restraint.

Looking at the door that was closed immediately, Qian Xiong was even more angry: "What kind of attitude is Helian Yingdou?! Why do you keep your voice down when begging for help, and just kick it away when it's useless? This kind of guy can also Be king?! Hmph!"

"Brother Qian, don't be angry." Xie Shutong said: "This Helian Yingdou is really hateful, and the few people left behind are really annoying, but this place is so hidden, it must be Helian Yingdou's lair, if we will This news is sold, think about it..."

Xie Shutong's proposal made Qian Xiong's eyes brighten: "You are right, He Lianying is unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust."

"Shen Baiqi also has the same opinion." The gray-haired old man also joined Jie Shutong and Qian Xiong, and the other two voted in favour, seeing that the three of them had huddled together.

"This place is named Yiyijiang..." Seeing that everyone supported his proposal, Xie Shutong immediately became proud and began to speak out his inner plan. However, before he could fully name the name Yixianjiang, people would In an instant, it withered and shrank and fell down in front of everyone, turning into a bone, without any vitality.

The sudden change frightened the people present, and they were terrified. Jie Shutong died so quickly that there was no time for his soul to escape. It was obvious that he had stepped into the gate of hell. Looking back at the closed house behind him, Qian Xiong Several people were startled out of a cold sweat.

Thinking of leaving quickly, they didn't know that danger was coming behind them.

Standing on a high place in the house, Helian Yingdou held the body of the long-tailed bullfinch in his hands and looked at the group of monks who left and sighed: "I can't let go of a bird, let alone a human being?"
