The sun set down the hills without hesitation, and in exchange for a dark night, although it was cold, there was no wind.With a black cat in his arms, Jiang Tianyi and He Bomeng took four people together, taking advantage of the thick night, they flew onto the suspension bridge they made themselves, and reached the other side safely.

As soon as Jiang Tian turned around, he took out the fire folder, and after giving Yu Xun a signal of safety, he exchanged a gesture with He Bomeng, and led the two subordinates along the road leading to Baimeilin that Yu Xun had said. On the mountain road, go straight down.

He Bomeng looked at the other side, feeling more and more heavy in his heart.He made a gesture and took the rest of Cao Yong and Yan Feng along the mountain road to the front yard of Liuyun Sect.Cao Yong and Yan Feng are Cook Xiao's personal guards, and their kung fu is one of the best, so Yu Xun boldly let them follow He Bomeng to make trouble.

Most of the halls and pavilions of Liuyun Sect are built along the mountains, and they are well arranged.Perhaps because it is very close to He Jia, the layout of the whole building is very similar to the mansion of the noble He Jia.Only then did He Bomeng understand why Yu Xun sent him to do this.

After passing several larger houses, He Bomeng stood still on the top of a big tree, looking down at everything, he saw a big house in front of him brightly lit, and directly opposite the big house was a very spacious courtyard. There are two rows of weapon racks.Needless to say, this is the 'Juyi Hall' of Liuyun Sect.He Bomeng waved to his opponent, pointed to the courtyard, and rushed over.

The Juyi hall was buzzing with excitement, and He Bomeng and the others heard it before they got there.Yan Feng stretched out his hand and tugged at him, and said in a low voice, "He Bo, let's stay here, anyway, we can hear clearly."

He Bomeng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "If someone speaks softly, wouldn't we be at a loss? Besides, didn't His Highness keep an eye on Shangguan Yunhe? Let's just go and see if she is there. If not , we can look elsewhere."

Cao Yong stretched out his hand and slapped Yan Feng on the back of the head, jokingly said: "I know that the boss wants to save trouble, but the boss has everything on his mind. Let's go and see what they are arguing about."

Yan Feng smiled awkwardly and nodded in agreement.The three of them didn't say any more, they jumped onto the roof of Juyi Hall, peeled off the roof tiles, and took a peek.

There were a total of nine people sitting in the Juyi hall, seven of Luan Jianhua's apprentices, and two middle-aged men whom He Bomeng and the others had never met.

One of them, in his early forties, was well maintained, and there was no trace of time on his fair skin.The purple-black eyes are radiant and scorching, the long wine-red hair is draped behind the head along the luxurious purple clothes, and the three short beards hang down leisurely, giving a sense of detachment.The other person's appearance is not bad either, with blond hair and blue eyes, a face like a peach blossom, and a healthy rosy glow on the jade-like skin. Under the candlelight, she is three points more beautiful than the girl who has used rouge, but with a pair of torches With his blue eyes and domineering aura, no one would dare to underestimate him, let alone mistake him for a woman.

He Bomeng looked at the two men and murmured in his heart.These two people sat on Ran Qing's drooping hands, but Wu Lie and Shangguan Yunhe sat behind them, it can be seen that they have a lot of background.

The voice that spread far away just now was said by Qian Feihu, the fourth son in charge of canons and laws.He said again: "Brother, just do as I said, use that Hong Yuxun as a hostage to force the imperial court to retreat! It will definitely work!"

Shangguan Yunhe was worried, "Are we really going to be enemies of the imperial court? Do you remember the Yusha Tower three years ago? It was as miserable as it was. I remember that the prince was the one who led the troops to destroy it."

Qian Feihu looked displeased, "I said, little junior sister, what you said is wrong. Can Yu Shalou compare with us? Our Liuyun sect has a copper wall and an iron wall, and the imperial court sent 30 people to come. I can't find a bargain, let alone, we still have a hostage in our hands?"

"I'm not comparing our Liuyun Sect to Yu Shalou. I just want to say that Hong Yuxun is not an easy person. Let's not steal a chicken and lose a handful of rice instead."

"Eh? Why are we stealing chickens?" Qian Feihu blinked his big eyes, and looked at Shangguan Yunhe cheerfully.

Shangguan Yunhe snorted angrily, turned his face to Ran Qing with his mouth pouted, and said, "Brother, you should say something! We've been discussing for a long time, why don't you just sit there and watch the fun?"

Ran Qing smiled wryly, but remained silent.In fact, he was also vacillating in his heart. If Yu Xun was used as a hostage, whether the imperial court would retreat or not, just how to settle it afterwards would be enough to cause headaches.Afterwards, the crown prince will definitely be released, but if the court backtracks and sends troops again, how will Liuyun Sect resist?If Yu Xun is not used as a hostage, then if the court wants to withdraw troops, they can only hand over the green dragon fruit. However, once the green dragon fruit is handed over, what will happen to Master Luan Jianhua's poison?No one can guarantee that once Luan Jianhua stops taking the decoction made from green dragon fruit, he will not die.There are hundreds of people in Liuyun Sect, most of them are orphans and beggars rescued by his old man, who gave up his medical treatment to keep Liuyun Sect's peace for a while, he can't do it, let alone his brothers. .

He frowned, and couldn't help looking at the two middle-aged men with their hands hanging down, and said respectfully: "I don't know if Mr. Chi and Mr. Tang have good ideas? I'm really at the end of my skills."

The middle-aged man with long wine-red hair smiled lightly, and said inscrutablely, "Nephew Ran Xian actually overlooked a fundamental problem."

Ran Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted, "I also ask Mr. Chi to point out the lost scriptures."

Mr. Chi stroked his three short beards and said, "May I ask Nephew Ran Xian, why did we gather heroes from all walks of life in the martial arts to gather in Meicheng?"

Ran Qing blinked, but didn't understand, "Of course it's for the martial arts conference."

Sitting next to Qian Feihu, the old fifth Liu Hanxing who was in charge of money and food accounts smiled knowingly, and said to Ran Qing: "Brother, what Mr. Chi means is that as long as we catch people from Caohetang and come to cure them, Qinglongguo will naturally be able to cure them." Send it back to the court, and the matter will be settled."

Ran Qing suddenly realized, patted his forehead, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I actually forgot about this."

Wu Tuohao, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help interjecting: "Didn't you already catch Yu Qinglan, the master of Caohe Hall? Why didn't you ask her for the antidote?"

Yang Hongyi, the sixth son sitting in the last seat in charge of the company's operations, sighed and waved his hands, "Fourth brother, don't mention this, I will get upset if you mention it."

Shangguan Yunhe looked at him with a confused face, "Fourth brother didn't say anything, I was just about to ask. Little senior brother, don't be fooled, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Yang Hongyi sighed again, with a legal look on his face, "That Yu Qinglan seems to be seriously ill, and she can't wake up all day long. When the friends in the rivers and lakes caught her, she was already like that. Everyone in the Caohe Hall People say that her illness is an old one, and she can only take the medicine and hang her breath, and she will be fine when she wakes up."

"What?" Hao Tianqing, the fourth eldest who had been silent all this time and who was in charge of disciple martial arts, widened his eyes in surprise, and said in disbelief, "Isn't it? Isn't their Caohetang a medicine maker? Can it be cured?"

Mr. Chi next to Ran Qing suddenly said, "It's the so-called doctor who doesn't heal himself. I have heard about Yu Qinglan's case. 21 years ago, Cao Hetang's misbehavior caused many righteous men to besiege, and Yu Qinglan was arrested at that time. She hurt her head, and she would sleep for a while every year. If someone takes good care of her, she will be fine when she wakes up. If no one takes care of her, then she will die in hell."

Qian Feihu laughed, "Oh, that's it. Then, we arrested her... to lure her cubs?"

Yang Hongyi took a sip of his tea and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Four is right. Two days ago, there was a secret report that her daughter Ling Yanxiu had arrived in Meicheng. In addition, the two protectors of Caohe Hall, Bei Yaofei and Xun Shuiyin , is also rushing from Youcheng. Now when Yu Qinglan is put on trial at the martial arts conference, the three of them will be captured in one fell swoop."

Liu Hanxing raised his eyebrows, and said to Ran Qing: "Senior brother, in my opinion, it's not as good as this. Let's discuss it with the prince and ask them to wait longer. When we catch the people from Caohetang here and get the antidote, we can take it away. Return the green dragon fruit to the imperial court and ask them to withdraw their troops."

Ran Qing's sorrow faded away, she nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's do it like this!"

"No way." Shangguan Yunhe looked at the excited faces of the crowd, and couldn't help frowning: "I asked the prince, the emperor ordered him to issue a military order, and he must get back the green dragon fruit within three months. And these three months, now There are only five days left. That's why he said today that he will go down the mountain in five days."

Wu Lie was dissatisfied and said: "Little junior sister, you abducted Yu Xun today not just to ask this question, right? Did you also go to inquire about your little lover?"

Shangguan Yunhe bit his lip, and snorted unhappily, "Don't worry about my business. Senior brother, I think what the prince means, if we delay with him for a while, maybe it won't work."

Ran Qing sighed, "Go and ask the prince tomorrow."

Mr. Chi beside him suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, even if there is no green dragon fruit, with Jun Xian and I's ability, we can keep senior Luan safe for a month. After all, the old senior's poison has already been partially cured with green dragon fruit." .”

Seeing his confident expression, Wu Tuohao was a little unconvinced, "You mean, we can give the green dragon fruit to the prince? Then spend a month arresting the people in the Caohetang to find the antidote?"

Mr. Chi seemed to have already made up his mind, nodded and said, "Exactly."

Ran Qing looked at him, although he couldn't doubt it, but it was a matter of Master's life and death, so he didn't dare to agree rashly, and said, "What should we do if we don't find the antidote within a month? I see." , or discuss it with the prince first, before we get the antidote, we can't give them the green dragon fruit."

Mr. Chi thoughtfully looked at the blond man opposite, but he suddenly smiled slightly, like a peach blossom swaying in the wind in spring, so beautiful, "Brother, should we invite the hero on the roof to come down and have a chat?"

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, Wu Tuohao took the lead in picking up the weapon, opened the door and rushed out.

He Bomeng was shocked, and hurriedly gestured to Cao Yong and Yan Feng, and the three of them quickly jumped off the roof and ran out in three directions.
