Forced to bind with the double-faced dragon Aotian

No matter how cunning a fox is, he can't beat a good hunter. The information Zhong Jue sent did not disappoint him.

The paper in the palm of his hand had turned into a paper crane again, and Xiao Xuelan said to it: "Tell Zhong Jue that I have thought of a countermeasure, so he can rest assured."

The paper crane's head seemed to nod, and then flapping its wings, it flew out of the Meng Mansion from Xiao Xuelan's hand, and merged into the thick night.

"Brother, why are you standing here all this time?" Meng Shuchen tidied himself up and followed from behind, holding the "wet" robe in his hand, looked at Xiao Xuelan with concern in his eyes, and said, "But I'm not feeling well. ?”

"No, I was just thinking about one thing." Xiao Xuelan didn't want to see the clothes that made him feel ashamed, and walked towards Meng Shuchen's bedroom, but gave up the idea of ​​leaving tonight.

Meng Shuchen followed his steps and asked, "What?"

Xiao Xuelan tapped her chin twice, thought for a while, and then discussed with him: "Your ancestral hall is heavily guarded inside and outside, are they the eyes and ears of your second uncle Meng Zheng? If we want to go in, do we have to get rid of him first?"

"That's right." The two walked to the door, Meng Shuchen pushed the door to let Xiao Xuelan go in first, and said, "I will help you whatever you want, brother."

Xiao Xuelan entered the door with a pale face, smiled at him, and half-truthfully praised: "Justice! A friend of mine just sent me a message about your second uncle."

Meng Shuchen was not surprised, and asked, "What's the content?"

"Your second uncle, he colluded with the prostitutes of the Hehuan Sect. We can use this to make a fuss."

The next day, Xiao Xuelan, as the head disciple of the Hanyue Sword Sect and the Lingyun Sect, officially visited the Meng Mansion. When the young man in charge heard the name of the "Hanyue Sword Sect", he was taken aback for a moment before realizing which "Hanyue Sword Sect" it was. Yue", remembering that this is the sect of the second son of his family, so he could not be neglected, so he hurriedly invited Xiao Xuelan into the side hall first, and then went to report to the master.

Not long after, Meng Changqing and Meng Shuchen entered the side hall together. Meng Changqing was still sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed in by an attendant. Xiao Xuelan had already met Meng Changqing when she was pretending to be a bride. Greeted with Meng Shuchen, and then Meng Shuchen introduced the two of them to each other. The three just exchanged a few words, and Meng Zheng led the people to the side hall.

It seems that every move of everyone in the Meng Mansion is under the control of Meng Zheng. Xiao Xuelan had just arrived at the door for less than a quarter of an hour, when someone passed the news to Meng Zheng and hurriedly brought people over. Seeing that Xiao Xuelan and the Meng brothers had plans, it was only Sima Zhao's heart.

Xiao Xuelan naturally pretended not to know this old fox, only to see that he still had a very hypocritical smile on his face, and warmly said to Meng Changqing: "Changqing, there is a distinguished guest from Hanyue, why don't you send someone to notify me?" , so that the distinguished guests feel that our Meng family has lost manners."

Meng Changqing and Meng Shuchen looked at each other silently, and said helplessly, "I was about to send someone to notify my uncle, but I didn't expect my uncle to be well informed and come so timely."

Xiao Xuelan disdained Meng Zheng's hypocrisy in her heart, and asked Meng Shuchen knowingly, "I don't know who this is?"

Meng Shuchen cooperated with the acting, did not look at Meng Zheng, but said softly to Xiao Xuelan: "Senior brother Xiao, this is my uncle."

Xiao Xuelan said "Oh" to express her surprise, and then saluted, "So it's the elders of the Meng family, a member of the Lingyun sect, and Xiao Xuelan saw the salute."

Meng Zheng hurriedly clasped his fists in return, "Young Master Xiao, you don't have to be polite! You are a distinguished disciple of the Shouyuan Daoist Master Xiao, but you are a distinguished and rare visitor. When you come to my Meng's house, we should come out of the house to greet you in person. Let you wait here Hall, we are really rude, please don't blame us."

Who doesn't know how to say polite words, Xiao Xuelan smiled and said: "Uncle Meng is too polite, I am from the same family as Junior Brother Shuchen, there is no need for these empty etiquettes, besides, if I come to the door, I will bother your house for something, and I hope you will I don't think there is much trouble in the next."

Meng Zheng didn't respond there yet, but when Meng Shuchen heard Xiao Xuelan calling his name, he looked at him unconsciously, his eyes full of affection, Xiao Xuelan always only called him "Junior Brother Meng", and "Shuchen" both It was the first time I heard this word from Xiao Xuelan's mouth. He never knew that his name could sound so nice when it was pronounced from someone else's mouth.

Xiao Xuelan's scalp tingled from being watched by Meng Shuchen, afraid that Meng Changqing and Meng Zheng would notice something, pretended to drink tea, covered her lips with a cup lid and coughed, Meng Shuchen reacted, put away his lingering gaze, and said calmly : "Senior brother, all the men and women in the Meng family will definitely do their best."

Hearing this, Meng Changqing and Meng Zhengju were very surprised. Meng Shuchen has always been cold-tempered and indifferent to others. Except for being a little closer to Meng Changqing, his elder brother, no one else took it seriously. Hearing him say this In other words, this is the first time in history, it seems that this senior from Hanyue has an extraordinary relationship with Meng Shuchen.

Meng Changqing heard from Meng Shuchen that Xiao Xuelan and him fought against the Demon Dragon at Sword Immortal Cliff, and he only thought that the two were friends with each other. The relationship between them is close, and looking at Xiao Xuelan, it already has the meaning of being on guard.

Meng Zheng unhurriedly picked up the teacup at hand, lifted the lid of the cup, skimmed the tea leaves, took a sip, then continued the topic just now and asked: "I don't know why Mr. Xiao came here? If we can help If you are busy, you must do your best, as my nephew said."

Xiao Xuelan smiled, and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. There is a disciple of Han Yue's sect who is from Lanling. Recently, something happened in his family. His family members were defiled and innocent, but they haven't caught the criminal for a long time, so The teacher ordered me to come here to resolve this matter."

With a crisp sound of "Kang Dang", the lid of the cup Meng Zheng held in his hand fell onto the mouth of the cup. Although the surprise on his face was fleeting, he was caught by Xiao Xuelan who wanted to catch the change in his expression one is right.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the lid of this cup is too slippery, I accidentally didn't hold it steady, I'm laughing at you." Meng Zheng ordered his attendants to bring him a cup of tea, but Xiao Xuelan didn't intend to let him change the topic, and continued to ask: "I don't know Has Uncle Meng heard about this?"

"It turns out that Mr. Xiao came here for this matter." Meng Zheng said, his face regained his composure, and he put on a righteous tone and said, "This matter has caused a lot of trouble in Lanling City, and people are panicking. I was harmed by that adulterer. The governor of Lanling came to my Meng family the other day and begged us to come forward to arrest the gangsters. We cultivators should have a heart of benevolence and righteousness, so I have promised this matter and will do my best. Let’s do our best to apprehend the criminals.”

Xiao Xuelan made a slightly surprised expression, and said: "So this matter has already been handed over to your family? I was so abrupt. Since your family intends to help catch the criminals, I, Han Yue, should do my best to help. If it can be used In the place below, obey orders."

"Where is there, why do you talk about dispatching or not dispatching such foreign words." Meng Zheng waved his hand and smiled, "I have ordered many people to investigate this matter, and I believe there will be results in a few days. There is no need to bother Young Master Xiao to take action."

Xiao Xuelan said lightly: "Your mansion is well-known among the hundreds of families in the immortal sect. I should rest assured to leave this matter to you, but the master ordered me to come to Lanling to resolve this matter. If I can't get a result, I can't ask the palm Daoist Men confessed, so I’m afraid I’ll have to wait a few days in Lanling City to catch that gangster before I’m relieved.”

"This..." Meng Zheng's face was a little bit embarrassed, but he pondered for a moment, quickly reacted, and said with a smile, "It should be like this, Mr. Xiao came from a long way, so why don't you stay in our house, so that you Let's do our best to be a landlord, what do you think?"

Xiao Xuelan wanted what she wanted in her heart, but she said: "How dare I bother you..."

Meng Zheng interrupted Xiao Xuelan's words, with a sincere face, he said: "Hey, don't say such outrageous words, you and Shuchen are brothers in the same school, and you have taken care of him a lot in Hanyue, let him take care of him these few days Accompanying you, Mr. Xiao, to play in Lanling for a few days is what you should do."

Meng Changqing nodded and said with a smile: "What uncle said is very true, please don't be polite, Mr. Xiao, stay and let us treat you well. By the way, you don't know yet, Shuchen has been married a few days ago. If you can come a few days earlier Day, maybe I can drink his wedding wine."

Xiao Xuelan sneered in her heart, how could I not know?It's because you don't know that the person sitting in front of you is the right one to marry Meng Shuchen!But there was an expression of surprise on his face, and he cupped his hands to congratulate Meng Shuchen: "Then I want to congratulate my junior brother on his wedding."

Meng Shuchen smiled, then cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, brothers."

Xiao Xuelan: "..." This man really dared to speak.

This sound of "same happiness" made everyone present except Xiao Xuelan puzzled. Meng Changqing thought that Meng Shuchen had said something wrong, so he covered it up for Meng Shuchen: "Shuchen, take Mr. Xiao to the garden. , by the way, arrange the residence for the next few days, and you need to take care of it for the next few days to entertain your senior brother well."

Meng Shuchen nodded and replied, "Yes."

Meng Shuchen led Xiao Xuelan out of the side hall first, and went to the other courtyard where Xiao Xuelan was arranged to live. He deliberately chose a courtyard close to his own residence. The location was remote, the environment was elegant, and most importantly, it was convenient for the two of them Contact in private without attracting the attention of others.

However, as soon as they walked outside the yard, Xiao Xuelan realized that someone was peeping at them furtively from a distance behind him.

No wonder the old fox Meng Zheng invited him to stay so enthusiastically, keeping the enemy under his nose, controlling every move he made, knowing himself and the enemy, naturally there was nothing to worry about.

Xiao Xuelan sneered, suddenly pulled Meng Shuchen's sleeve to stop, took the initiative to wrap his arms around Meng Shuchen's shoulder, and kissed him on the cheek, as natural as he could be.

Meng Shuchen was stiffened by Xiao Xuelan who suddenly took the initiative to offer a kiss, and then a pink haze rose on his face. He looked at Xiao Xuelan with shining eyes, and said softly: "What's wrong?"

Sure enough, there was an inaudible gasp from where the peeping person was. Xiao Xuelan pressed against Meng Shuchen's ear and said softly, "Don't move, someone is following us."

"En." Meng Shuchen held Xiao Xuelan's hand cooperatively, and the two entered the other courtyard hand in hand with a very intimate gesture, and they did not separate until the people outside couldn't see.

"Brother, did you do it on purpose for that person to see?" Meng Shuchen closed the door behind him, put a cushion on the chair, and let Xiao Xuelan sit down.

Xiao Xuelan said: "Your uncle is afraid that I will have some plan with you to threaten his status, and he is also afraid that my participation in this case will disrupt his plan. Let me stay, what kind of heart do you think he can be at ease? It's just I just want to put me where he can see and be watched by him."

Meng Shuchen said: "Then what will senior brother do next?"

Xiao Xuelan said: "If you want to catch a fox, you have to put the bait first. The people who followed us just now will definitely report what they saw to Meng Zheng, and the rest is just to see the trick."

The room had just been cleaned, and Meng Shuchen lit a burner of sandalwood and put it on the table, adding some smoky smell to the room that had not been lived in for many years, and walked around the room again, checking Whether there is anything missing in the bottom decoration, after confirming that there are a lot of them to be used, I poured a cup of hot tea and served it to Xiao Xuelan. The service is very considerate and in place.

Xiao Xuelan, who enjoyed the meticulous service, enjoyed it very much. She took a sip of the sweet tea, put down the cup, narrowed her peach blossom eyes, and joked to Meng Shuchen: "I ask you, if I help your brother take the power of the family from your two How are you going to repay me if you take it back from my uncle?"

"How does senior brother want me to repay you?" Meng Shuchen picked up an orange on the table, peeled it for Xiao Xuelan, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "I only want you to want, and I can give everything to senior brother."

Xiao Xuelan stuffed an orange in his mouth, thinking about how to make a request in order to maximize his own interests, after thinking for a while, he finally came up with the most important point.

Xiao Xuelan peeled a piece of orange and stretched it towards Meng Shuchen, as if to feed him, Meng Shuchen leaned over his head flattered, opened his mouth to swallow the piece of orange that made him so sweet, and reluctantly grabbed Xiao Xuelan's hand, kissed the fingers.

Xiao Xuelan didn't intend to be tender with him, but she didn't mind being kissed on her fingers, but her face was a little impatient, she waved Meng Shuchen's hand away, patted his left cheek, and said seriously: "I want you Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, don't give up on who you are now, understand?"

"Okay, I promise you." Meng Shuchen's heart felt hot, he didn't expect Xiao Xuelan to mention this, was he worried about himself?

Meng Shuchen looked at Xiao Xuelan with affection in his eyes, thinking that if time could stop at this moment, it would be really beautiful.

It was this tiresome look again. Every time Xiao Xuelan was stared at by Meng Shuchen like this, she felt upset for no reason. She withdrew her hand from touching the other person first, and snorted coldly: "It's not dark yet, don't Look at me with such anxious eyes."

Different from the atmosphere in other courtyards, when Meng Zheng got the news from his subordinates, he was so shocked that he broke the teacup in his hand.

"What did you say?" Meng Zheng stood up from his chair in surprise, pointed at his subordinates, and said with a puzzled face, "Say it again! What did they...do?"

The subordinate was also taken aback by the scene he saw just now. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Meng Shuchen would do such a thing. Young Master Xiao behaved very intimately, on the way to the residence, Young Master Xiao he... he even kissed Second Young Master..."

"Did you read it wrong?! How is this possible?" The questioner was Meng Zheng's only son, named Meng Changyun. Have you ever seen him get close to other people? You said he and Xiao Xuelan kissed me? Aren’t they brothers? Are you talking nonsense here!”

The subordinate hurriedly knelt down and swore: "I saw it with my own eyes, and I would never dare to lie to the master! The two of them are indeed... indeed, the relationship is not simple! The subordinate saw that the second son was holding the hand of Xiao Gongzi." After entering the courtyard, the two of them stayed in the room for a long time without coming out, which is not like the behavior that should be between brothers!"

This shocking news is really unacceptable, but the subordinate swears firmly and vividly depicts the picture. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, how could he make up such nonsense.

Meng Zheng was full of suspicion about Xiao Xuelan's trip, how could Xiao Xuelan come by such a coincidence?Maybe it's the reinforcements brought by the Meng Changqing brothers from Hanyue to deal with him. He must strike first, hold their handles, and prevent the Meng Changqing brothers from having a chance to stand up!

"Order to go down and closely monitor Xiao Xuelan's whereabouts. If you find something like today again, report it immediately! Be careful when you do things. Xiao Xuelan's cultivation level is not low, so don't be discovered by him."
