Forced to bind with the double-faced dragon Aotian

Half a month later, Xiao Xuelan met Zhong Jue at a tea house in Lanling City with the task of being a teacher.

The profiteer Zhong Jue, who always pays attention to ostentation when going out, brought only one follower for the first time this time, saying that if one less person knows about this matter, there will be less risk.

It's just that the attendant's appearance is very eye-catching. Although he is a seven-foot man, his appearance is feminine and beautiful, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, red lips and white teeth. A bit of style.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't look like a follower, and his temper is even less like.

He often held a sword, and followed Zhong Jue silently with a cold face, as if he was the master, but Zhong Jue became a servant who opened the way for him.

This entourage is outstanding in appearance, but he is not good at words. He often answers Zhong Jue's questions. Besides, he has a bad temper. Walking on the road, if passers-by look at him more because of his appearance , One more comment, if he doesn't say anything, he will draw his sword to face each other.

Not less frightened women and children on the street.

At this time, Zhong Jue would cry from behind in grief: "Ye Yaolan, stop! I lent you this sword, don't let me chop it up! Otherwise, you will add one more year to your contract of prostitution!"

Xiao Xuelan asked Zhong Jue: "Do you still remember why you came to Lanling? Why did you have to bring an old man by your side?"

Zhong Jue shook the fan in his hand quickly, and said bitterly: "He smashed a glazed Jade Buddha in my Swallow Tower. That is a treasure that has Buddha nature after asking Master Zhixiu to open it! Naturally, I want him to pay for it. But he actually said that he couldn't afford to pay. I saw that the broken sword was worth something all over his body, so I asked him to use the sword to pay off the debt. He readily agreed, but he said, "The sword is there, the sword is there. Dead people die' nonsense, saying that you can pay off the debt with a sword, but others have to keep it, do you think this person is weird?"

Xiao Xuelan's eyelids twitched twice, as if he couldn't believe that a profiteer would make a loss-making business, "So you agreed to let him stay?"

Zhong Jue said: "How could it be so simple, I don't support idlers in Yanzilou. I told him, if you want to stay with Jian, you might as well sell yourself to Yanzilou as a slave, and when you can pay off the debt, Give the others and the sword their freedom."

Xiao Xuelan was surprised: "He also agreed to such a shameful request?"

"Not only did I agree," Zhong Jue tapped the fan handle on the head, with a regretful expression on his face, "I also agreed very readily, and signed the contract of sale on the same day. But I never expected that this man looks like a model He looks like a dog, but he is a real money loser. In just half a month, he has caused me countless troubles and lost me a lot of money, and the period of his sale contract is getting longer and longer because of it. , there's almost—"

Xiao Xuelan couldn't help answering: "How long?"

Zhong Jue stretched out five fingers bitterly and counted at him.

"Five years?"

"50 years!"

"..." Isn't that planning to sell herself to Zhong Jue for the rest of her life?Xiao Xuelan keenly sensed a hint of adultery in it.

Xiao Xuelan poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said in a low voice, "You have been here for the past few days, apart from flirting, have you found out anything about the key?"

"Of course there is." Zhong Jue quickly followed the words, and reacted by knocking on the table with his fan, and said angrily, "What are you flirting with? How can you be so innocent!"

"Calm down! Keep your voice down, I made a slip of the tongue!" Xiao Xuelan said with a half-smile, "Hurry up and get down to business."

Zhong Jue glared at Xiao Xuelan, and was about to speak when he opened his mouth. At this time, Ye Yaolan, who was sent by him to inquire about the news, lifted the curtain and walked in. Zhong Jue immediately turned cold, and said in a blunt tone: "Why have you been here for so long and didn't give me any more information?" What trouble did you cause? Did you find out what you asked about?"

Ye Yaolan slapped the sword on the table, sat down with the hem of her clothes lifted, took a sip of tea from the cup at hand, and then replied: "I figured it out."

Zhong Jue was stunned for a moment staring at Ye Yaolan's posture of drinking tea, and when he came back to his senses, he slapped his hand holding the cup with a fan, and said angrily, "This is my cup! You want to drink tea, can't you get another cup?! "

Ye Yaolan took a bite, put down the cup, and said lightly, "Sorry, let me go."

Xiao Xuelan, who was on the side, watched the turmoil between the two, and felt that she had been stuffed with dog food for no reason.

"Three men walk together, there must be one foundation", the ancients did not deceive me!

Zhong Jue seemed to have punched into a ball of cotton with a fist, and there was no way to get out of his anger. He said in a bad tone, "Tell me what you found out."

Ye Yaolan said succinctly: "The Meng residence will hold a happy event in a few days."

Zhong Jue raised his eyebrows: "What else?"

Ye Yaolan: "No more."

Xiao Xuelan: "..."

She gave Zhong Jue a look: Is this person reliable?

Zhong Jue understood Xiao Xuelan's meaning, his face was ugly, he spread out his fan and slapped himself twice vigorously, holding back his anger, he said, "How do you do things? Except for 'Meng's House holds a wedding', that's all there is?" "

Ye Yaolan said: "The Meng Mansion is heavily guarded, and I can't get in. I caught a servant of the Meng Manor who came out to work, beat me up, and he told me this."

Except for Ye Yaolan, no one should be able to do this simple and violent method of sniffing out news.

Zhong Jue rolled his throat, wanted to scold someone but knew he couldn't beat Ye, but his anger was already in his throat, so he could only pick up the teapot and pour a few mouthfuls of herbal tea into his mouth.

Xiao Xuelan suppressed a smile, and said calmly: "Although this news is simple, it can be used. Since we already know that the ancestor of the Meng family is the keeper of the jade box key, there must be clues about the key hidden in the Meng mansion. There must be a lot of people going in and out of the Meng Mansion for a wedding, so we can take advantage of the chaos and find out the truth."

Ye Yaolan nodded affirmatively, "That's what I mean."

Zhong Jue, who was full of herbal tea, put the teapot heavily on the table, and said angrily, "What does this mean? If you don't make it clear, who knows what you mean? Oh, if someone says something, it becomes yours." Interested? Are you interested in relying on me?"

"I'm not relying on you." Ye Yaolan's tone was straight, "I owe you money, and it's only natural to pay back the debt."

It's all like this, Zhong Jue still doesn't admit it's flirting, Xiao Xuelan couldn't listen anymore, stood up and said to Zhong Jue: "It's almost meaningless, I'm not interested in listening to your foolishness, can we first What is the next step in the research?"

Zhong Jue's anger still persisted: "Tell me! How should I go!"

Xiao Xuelan said calmly: "Why don't you just explain the reason to the Patriarch of the Meng family and ask him to hand over the key to the jade box?"

"No!" Zhong Jue categorically vetoed, "People's hearts are unpredictable. As far as I know, the power of the head of the Meng family of this generation is declining, and their actions are still constrained by the Meng family's subordinates. There are many eyeliners around them, and they are watched every day. You Explain the reason to him, and there is no guarantee that others will not know. This matter is related to the common people in the world, and one more person who knows will increase the possibility of leaking the news to the demons, so the Meng family can only do this in secret."

Xiao Xuelan did not expect that the patriarch of the dignified family would be in such a difficult situation, but when he thought of Meng Shuchen's difficult situation in the Meng family, he was not surprised, sighed in his heart, and said: "Then act according to what I suggested earlier. .”

Lanling City is the old capital of three dynasties in the mortal world, with prosperous business and economic prosperity, it is a well-known and prosperous place.

The small hermit hides in the wild, and the big hermit hides in the city. Although the Meng family is a family of immortals, they don't hide from the world like other immortals and live outside the world.For thousands of years, the imperial power has been changed for several generations, one emperor and one courtier, but the Meng family has not been implicated. There have been six national teachers in the family, and the Taishiling and Sitianjian are too numerous to enumerate. Relying on the aristocratic family.

The Meng family's house is located in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters on the outskirts of Lanling City. And, detached from the mundane.

As it was getting late, the Meng Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and hung red silk. The servants shuttled in and out of the various courtyards in an orderly manner, preparing for tomorrow's wedding.

Xiao Xuelan and Ye Yaolan had inquired about the news in advance, knowing that there would be a wedding in the Meng Mansion tomorrow, and tonight must be a busy night, so they sneaked in while taking advantage of the chaos, and stayed in an unremarkable courtyard in the Meng Mansion.

After about half an hour, two servants came in. Taking advantage of no one's attention, Xiao Xuelan knocked them out, took off their servant clothes, disguised herself with Ye Yaolan, and walked towards the main courtyard.

According to experience, if you want to hide something, you just need to hide it in secret rooms, secret passages, and places with tight guards. As long as you find out where these places are in the Meng Mansion, and then look for clues, it should not be difficult.

But the plan could never keep up with the changes, and they ran into two troubles just after leaving the side courtyard.

"Stop, both of you!" shouted someone behind him.

Xiao Xuelan and Ye Yaolan pretended not to know that the man was calling them, and walked forward sullenly.

"Tell me about you two! Hurry up and stop for me!"

Seeing that they couldn't hide, Xiao Xuelan and Ye Yaolan looked at each other, they had to lower their heads and turned around, planning to knock them out when they approached.

One of them rushed forward angrily and said, "Hey, you two, you pretended not to hear even though you heard it, right? Do you think that this young master is a clan member of the Shu branch, so you deliberately neglected it? It's really unreasonable!"

Another person stopped him and advised: "Brother Shixian, forget it, forget it, there's no point in arguing with the servants."

Meng Shixian said persistently: "Brother Shuhuan, you can bear it, but I can't bear it! We are all descendants of the Meng family, why should we be arranged in this remote and deserted yard? Isn't this looking down on people? I must find Patriarch discusses this theory! You two, quickly take me to Patriarch!"

When Xiao Xuelan heard the names of these two people, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Who named them?It sounds like two scumbags!

The author has something to say: It’s the end of the month, and the nutrient solution is about to expire. How about some audience masters?I'll exchange Pinru's clothes with you!
