Chapter 14 Trapped Beast

"No need." Jing Lan grabbed Jing Huan's sleeve, just wanting to get out of here quickly.Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of two Asura guards hiding in the dark, and her heart felt even colder. She knew that she had encountered a catastrophe today.

Zisha woman smiled and asked again: "Is there really no need?"

Jing Huan looked anxiously at Jing Lan, then at the beauty, "Xiao Wu, just once, just once, okay?"

Can you still say bad now?

There is Shurawei outside, so Wei Jianbai must be nearby.

This Youyou building doesn't look like a good place, but it seems even less safe outside.

Jing Lan was helpless, pretending to obey Jing Huan, "Let's go, just go in and have a look."

Jing Huan was very happy, "Good! Good! Good!"

"Everyone come in and sit down, let's have some fun." The Zisha woman said with a smile, turned the pipe in her hand, gave the man beside her a wink, and said in a low voice, "Clean up."

Although Jing Lan didn't hear what she said, she could guess the three words from her lips.

Just when she was on guard and ready to deal with the man, who would have thought that the man took three brothers to the dark place.

She was cleaning up Shura Wei?

Jing Lan was shocked, and looked at the Zisha woman one more time in bewilderment.

I saw Zisha girl blinking her left eye at her, "Master, come to my place, just feel free to play. Next time, I won't be so lucky. My Youyou Building doesn't open every day." After finishing speaking, the Zisha woman giggled and walked deep into the cave.

Jing Lan tried her best to recall the events of her previous life, but she never saw her in her memory.

Just when Jing Lan was in a daze, Jing Huan said with a smile: "Look, what did I say, Xiao Wu, you are really lucky!"

What luck?It is clearly a blessing or a misfortune.

"Who is she?" Jing Lanhu asked.

Jing Huan scratched his head, he had never stepped into Youyou Tower, how could he know who she was?He stopped a businessman beside him who was eager to enter Youyou Tower, "Brother, who was that girl just now?"

"You don't know who she is?" the businessman asked in surprise.

"I don't know, it's my first time here." Jing Huan replied truthfully.

The businessman looked enviously at the two sons in front of him, "You two boys are really lucky. She is the owner of this Youyou Building. I was lucky enough to meet her once last year. That style... tsk tsk... absolutely amazing!"

Jing Lan gave the merchant a disgusted look.

When the businessman mentioned her, he became even more excited. He was afraid that he would disturb the beauty, but his voice was lowered a bit, "Her name is Youyou. Only those who can afford a high price can come in and have a drink with her."

"Youyou? It's a nice name." Jing Huan recollected it carefully.

The businessman nodded happily, "Yes!" As he said that, he glanced anxiously into the depths of the cave, "I won't tell you, I'm going in to find the girls and have a drink!"

"Xiao Wu, let's go! Let's go in and have a look!"

Originally, Jing Lan wanted to curse secretly, but Jing Huan did the same.She gave Jing Huan a cold look, and Jing Huan frowned, "I'm really worried about you."

"What should I worry about?" Jing Lan was puzzled. What she was most worried about at the moment was how to leave Youyou Island safely?

Jing Huan shook his head and sighed, "Xiao Wu, don't find a man to come home from now on."

"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about?!" Jing Lan's heart was shocked. She had been disguised for 16 years, and now no one in the Jing family knew that she was a daughter. Married.

Jing Huan saw that Jing Lan's face was stained with worry, and he simply hooked Jing Lan's shoulder, "Come out and see, if you like a girl, fourth brother will propose marriage for you!"

"Fourth brother!" Jing Lan glared at Jing Huan again.

Jing Huan didn't care if she stared or not, he hooked Jing Lan while walking, and reminded: "Look at you, you can't be so fierce to the girl's family, but you will kill people."

"..." Jing Lan's brows were almost twisted into a knot, she always thought that she was the youngest one, as long as her brothers got married, then she would just find a reason to wander around the world.But this life is different, she is the head of Jing's family, even if her brothers are married, she can't leave Jing's and run out to roam the rivers and lakes.

The Patriarch's marriage is even more important to the Jing family, not to mention the three elder brothers, I'm afraid Aunt Hong will be very concerned about it.

After stepping into the cave, a strong smell of powder came to the face.

On the stage where the red gauze is hanging down, three Miaoman girls are dancing coquettishly, and under the stage, two gentle young men are playing with one piano and one flute.

The business travelers in the audience were fascinated by watching, and from time to time they said "OK!"

Jing Huan was extremely curious, looking here and there.Jing Lan, however, felt uncomfortable all over. If she stayed here for a while longer, she would feel being poked by something all the time.

"Xiao Wu, let's sit over there." Jing Huan saw an empty table, and pulled Jing Lan over there.

As soon as the two of them sat down, two tough men came and said respectfully: "Young masters, the host is here to invite you."

"What if I don't go?" Jing Lan subconsciously wanted to refuse.

The men grinned and clenched their fists together.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Jing Huan didn't want to fight here, so he gave Jing Lan a wink, "What I said is please."

Obsessed with color!

Jing Lan swore that she would never go out alone with her fourth brother again.

Nowadays, when people are in other people's nests, they say "please", how can they refuse?

Jing Lan sighed deeply, and had no choice but to follow the two up to the grotto on the second floor, turned into a long dark alley, and came to the half-opened stone gate.

"Go down."

"Yes, landlord."

The Zisha woman said something lazily, dismissing the men following Jing Lan and Jing Huan.

Passing through the half-opened stone gate, Jing Huan clearly saw the woman in purple gauze lazily leaning on the wooden couch, and hooked her fingers at them, "Master Jing, why don't you come in?"

She actually knew that they were members of the Jing family!

Not to mention Jing Lan, even Jing Huan was shocked.

The two restrained their minds, gave each other a wink, signaling that they were vigilant, and waited for an opportunity to move.

The Zisha girl watched the two of them walk in with a faint smile, and sat down on the low stool opposite her, "Don't worry, sister, I don't eat people, be good, don't be afraid." Her tone was frivolous, but her eyes were gentle Water can be squeezed out.

"Who the hell is the girl?" Jing Lan spoke first.

Youyou chuckled softly, "Youyou, the owner of Youyou Building." After speaking, she sat up and said with emotion: "Meeting you today means that you and I are destined, so we should do something."

Jing Lan and Jing Huan sat upright, saying in unison: "No need!"

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the two sons to be so young, their brains are full of dirty water, I thought..." Youyou shook her head and sighed, "The Dongjing family are all honest gentlemen, and they will never come to my place for pleasure. .”

"Fourth brother, let's go!" Jing Lan stood up abruptly.

Jing Huan also couldn't listen to these words that insulted the Dongjing family, "I won't come here anymore!"

"What will happen in the future, no one can say for sure." Youyou crossed her legs and swayed slightly, "Maybe you won't even be able to leave today."

"What do you mean?" Jing Lan felt a chill in her heart.

The pipe in her hand twirled around and pointed to the stone window, "Go and see for yourself."

Jing Huan walked to the stone window one step ahead of Jing Lan. The terrain here is relatively high, and it can almost overlook half of Youyou Island.Jing Huan looked at the ferry of Youyou Island from a distance, and saw an extra sea boat without a flag.He squinted his eyes and tried his best to see that dozens of mysterious people wearing black cloaks got off the sea boat.

"Wei Jianbai!" Jing Lan spotted the man before Jing Huan.

Wei Jianbai was wearing black light armor today, and was waiting in the depths of the alley for these dozens of mysterious people to gather together. Those who arrived first had already put on skull masks.

"Today, I was careless and stunned the snake." Youyou said innocently, but there was no worry on her face, "If you two want to leave, the gate of my Youyou building is open today. If you leave this gate, you will live and die at your own risk."

Jing Lan suddenly realized that what Youyou called "cleaning up" was actually deliberately exposing the presence of the two young masters of the Jing family.

"Oh, there's one more thing." Youyou squinted her eyes and chuckled, "I don't know who exactly you Jing's offended, the Shura Court collected a lot of money, and what they bought was your heads, [-] gold for each head, tsk tsk , which is more than my yearly income here." As she spoke, her eyes lightened slightly, "Sister, I am a businessman, if you are willing to pay more than this for your life, then..." There was a hint of smile in her smile. Charming, "Sister is still willing to save your little lives."

Jing Huan clenched his fists, but his heart was already in a mess.

Two lives were bought for more than [-] gold, if the news got out, the Dongjing family would lose all face by the two of them.

If Aunt Hong found out, she might break his leg.

Jing Lan didn't say a word, and when she looked at the ferry in the distance, she saw black smoke rising from the boats at the ferry, and after a short while, raging fire quickly ignited among the boats.

The tongue of flame kept jumping, burning more and more intensely. If it hadn't been for the use of oil, it would not have burned so fast.

Ferry began to panic, shouting while fighting the fire.

It stands to reason that the sea ship would not sink so quickly if it caught fire, but the sea ship began to tilt soon, and the flames were still alive, and most of the hull sank into the sea.

Many crew members ran towards Youyou Building in a panic. The outside of the building was already in chaos, and the peddlers were shouting, the boat was burnt to nothing, how would they go back at night?

Jing Lan's eyes froze suddenly, and she stared motionlessly at a woman in plain clothes in white clothes downstairs, holding Jingyue, walking in the market outside the building tremblingly.

As she walked, she vigilantly looked around for the person she was looking for, who was Jing Lan and Jing Huan's sister-in-law Liu Xi.

"It's sister-in-law!" Jing Huan also saw her. He anxiously opened the window and shouted to the outside, "Sister-in-law, there is danger from Shurawei outside! Go away! Go away!"

In terms of emotion and reason, Jing Lan should also be like Jing Huan, shouting out the window.But at this time, she was in a complicated mood and couldn't say a word at all.

She was so ruthless in her previous life, what is she planning in this life?With her heart, how could she not guess that there was an ambush outside by Shurawei?She walked on the street majesticly like this, one person with one knife, either crazy or deliberate.

Jing Lan stood by the window, quietly looking at Liuxi outside.

Whether it is an enemy or a friend is unknown.

"Fourth brother, shut up!" Jing Lan shouted sharply, pulling Jing Huan over.

Jing Huan looked at her in astonishment, "But sister-in-law...she..."

If she had played bitter tricks with Wei Jianbai from beginning to end, nothing would happen today. If she and Wei Jianbai had already broken up, since she dared to come alone, she would naturally be fully prepared.

Now, Jing Lan is more worried about her and Jing Huan.

She quietly looked at Youyou, who was calm and composed. If this person really wanted to make money, he should have arrested her and fourth brother as soon as he came in, and shouldn't have waited until this time to make a deal.

Youyou must have other plans.

Sensing Jing Lan's scorching gaze, Youyou met her eyes, and asked with a smile, "Fifth Master Jing, have you made up your mind?"
