No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 287 Interest Exchange
Xie Yan turned his head and glanced at Yu Chen, who was standing like a stake with a sword in his hand.

The street was dimly lit, only a few lights not far away were shining, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

In contrast, Qu Tiange seemed much more at ease, holding the long sword in his arms, standing aside and watching Xie Yan calmly.

Xie Yan raised his eyes, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, "Is this your plan?"

Neither Yu Chen nor Qu Tiange answered, but someone in the dark suddenly laughed and said, "His Royal Highness, although this plan is vulgar, it is more than useful."

It's true that Shangyong didn't know what was going to happen after the chaos tonight, but Xie Yan was trapped here by a group of masters.No matter who wins or loses between him and these masters, and whether Xie Yan will be killed or injured by these people in the end, the fact that he is trapped here at this time is enough.

Just like Luo Yun, Yao Zhong didn't want to kill him and didn't care whether he died or not. As long as he couldn't show up when he should show up, Yao Zhong had already achieved his goal.

"Really." Xie Yan calmly said, "Since this is the case, this king needs to make a quick decision."

These words obviously angered many people present, they admitted that Xie Yan is very powerful, otherwise so many people would not besiege him together.But in the face of so many masters besieging him, Xie Yan would be too arrogant if he dared to call for a quick battle.

Standing on the roof, a hot-tempered expert obviously couldn't bear it any longer, before Yu Chen and Qu Tiange below could make a move, he jumped down from above and rushed towards Xie Yan with a roar.

Xie Yan didn't even look at him, and the long sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath.A cold light flashed, the man's body stagnated in mid-air, and fell to the ground with a bang, and there was no more sound.

At the same time, two sounds of long swords being unsheathed came, and Yu Chen and Qu Tiange attacked Xie Yan at the same time.Xie Yan was not surprised by this, Yu Chen and Qu Tiange came here at the same time, they definitely didn't want to fight with him.Although it is more time-consuming to calculate the wheel battle.

Turning to pass Qu Tiange's long sword stabbing from behind, Xie Yan raised his sword at the same time to block Yu Chen's sword.When the two swords collided, Yu Chen's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and he took a few steps back.

Xie Yan snorted softly, "How dare you come to me to provoke you even if you have not recovered from your serious injury?"

Yu Chen's injury was almost healed, and it was not a problem to deal with ordinary first- and second-rate experts, but it was obviously much worse when facing an expert like Xie Yan.His current strength is not as good as Xie Yan's. Under the shock, the wound that had already healed seven times seemed to be hurting again, and there was a faint feeling of the wound being ruptured.

Xie Yan was merciless in his strikes, since he had identified Yu Chen's weakness, he naturally attacked in a row.Being left aside, Qu Tiange raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and slashed down with his sword horizontally into the struggle between the two, Xie Yan was one against two, but he didn't fall down at all.

Qu Tiange remembered that he had just fought against Xie Yan not long ago, obviously Xie Yan didn't try his best that time.At the moment, the originally calm eyes gradually lit up with fire. Even if it wasn't for some reason, it was an extremely rare opportunity to fight against such a master.

On the spacious street, the three masters fought together, the wind was blowing everywhere, the stones were cracked and the tiles were broken, and for a while, others couldn't intervene.

In the Mingyin Pavilion in the west of the city, when Bai Jingrong led his people into the Mingyin Pavilion, he saw Mr. Xueya dressed in white standing in the empty lobby.

Tonight's Mingyin Pavilion is very quiet, there is no singing and dancing in the past, only the gorgeous and huge glazed lamp above the head still illuminates the entire lobby like daytime, but it also appears that the entire Mingyin Pavilion is dead silent.

Xue Ya was not alone in the lobby, there were some people in black standing silently not far away.Bai Jingrong glanced over, and saw those people standing silently in every corner of the hall, as well as the corridor upstairs, motionless like puppets.

Xue Ya didn't seem surprised to see Bai Jingrong, she nodded with a smile and said, "I didn't expect Mrs. Rong to come here alone."

Naturally, Bai Jingrong didn't really come alone, she was followed by four guards from the Qi tribe.But compared to the usual times when there are experts such as Qu Fang Yu Chen Musa accompanying them at any time, the usefulness of these four people is no different from being alone.

For a moment, Bai Jingrong suspected that Xue Ya was mocking him for coveting life and fearing death.

Looking at the entire Mingyin Pavilion, Bai Jingrong raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Xueya is not too far behind? It seems that Mingyin Pavilion has changed hands?"

Xue Ya smiled and said: "Mingyin Pavilion has not changed owners, it's just that Aji has a bad temper, so I let him rest for two days. After these two days, Mingyin Pavilion will still be the original Mingyin Pavilion."

Bai Jingrong snorted, they both knew that unless Xueya succeeded, Mingyin Pavilion would cease to exist after tonight.

But really a good friend.

But Bai Jingrong obviously didn't intend to care about the fate of Mingyin Pavilion. She walked to the side and sat down, looked at Xueya calmly and said, "What exactly are you planning to do with such a big commotion?"

Xue Ya said: "If Mrs. Rong didn't know, how could she appear here?"

Bai Jingrong sneered, with a slightly disapproving expression, "I'm here just out of curiosity. The Qi tribe has already signed an agreement with Dasheng, and these agreements can only be realized if I return to the royal court."

Xue Ya nodded and said: "I understand Madam Rong's meaning. No matter what, Xie Yan and the Dasheng court will not kill you, and they don't want to tear up the agreement just signed with the Qi people. After all, if you kill you and tear up the agreement, if you want to To take back the lost ground, but to fill it with the lives of Dasheng's officers and men, isn't this the biggest bargaining chip Madam dares to return to Dasheng? So even if we fail, Dasheng won't care about your contact with Yisi Luan. Since Madam is invincible no matter what, why send Qu Tiange and Yu Chen to get involved?"

Bai Jingrong rolled his eyes, sighed softly and said, "Probably because... I really want to kill Xie Yan. If it can be done, everyone will be happy. If not..."

Xue Ya said clearly: "If it doesn't work, you can give up Yu Chen and Qu Tiange. Yu Chen is almost useless, and Qu Tiange is a disobedient thorn."

Bai Jingrong said indifferently: "Master Luan is very well informed."

Xue Ya chuckled, "Madam, let's talk about business, you and I don't have much time."

Bai Jingrong raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I want the secret of the Jinluan Talisman and the Jinluan Talisman in Xie Yan's hand to me."

Xue Ya said: "Didn't Madam already guess the secret of the Jinluan Talisman? Luan Yisi has lost the Jinluan Talisman for a long time, we don't know more than Madam."

Bai Jingrong sneered and said, "It is true that Xie Yan and I have made some guesses, but... Mr. Xueya wants me to believe that you don't even know the secret of the Jinluan Talisman, so you dare to believe that the Jinluan Talisman thrown by Yao Chong is Really? Dare to make such a big show out of tricks?"

Hearing that Mr. Xueya was slightly startled, Bai Jingrong said, "What? I guess it's Yao Zhong, is it strange?"

Xue Ya smiled, shook her head and said: "How could it be? After all, the two used to have a very close relationship. It's not surprising that Madam would guess the information that Director Luan can find out."

Bai Jingrong looked at him indifferently, "Where is Mr. Xueya's answer?"

Xue Ya nodded and said: "Yes, it's okay to tell Madam, what is hidden in the Jinluan Talisman is not some treasure or wealth, and naturally it is not some fairy medicine, soldiers and horses, but a sea chart."

"Hai Tu?" Bai Jingrong frowned. The answer was indeed beyond her expectation, and she was also a little disappointed.

She even felt a little regretful, maybe she shouldn't have gotten involved with Yisi Luan's matter at all.What she needs is real help that can be cashed in immediately. The Qi people are inland and do not face the sea at all, and sea charts are of no use to her.

Xue Ya smiled and said: "Madam Rong, don't underestimate this chart. It is recorded in the confidential ancient books of Luanyi Division. This chart records in detail the positions and routes of thousands of islands thousands of miles away from Dasheng, southeast, southwest, and south, including the legendary Tianqi Dynasty. During the Yongjia Changping period, the princess Shenyou of Zhenguo lived in seclusion in the sea. It is recorded in secret files that Prince Rui of Dongling and his wife also visited this island. It is said that there are gold, jade and pearls on the island. Isn’t this a treasure of gold and silver? Much more useful?"

Bai Jingrong remained silent, Xueya said: "I know Madam has great ambitions, how can I know that overseas treasure islands are not as barren as the Qi people? If things can't be done...Madam is not without everything, there were quite a few under the Bai family back then One remains loyal to the Lady."

Bai Jingrong sneered and said, "Speaking so much, Mr. Xueya just doesn't want me to interfere in Zhongyuan's affairs."

Xue Ya said: "There is no place for the Bai family in the Central Plains, the era of the Bai family has already passed."

"Does Master Luan have one?" Bai Jingrong said bluntly.

Xue Ya was not angered, but said calmly: "Madam can make a choice."

There was a long silence in the lobby before Bai Jingrong said: "What does Mr. Xueya want?"

Xue Ya said: "I want Madam's full strength in Shangyong to help."

"Before the eldest daughter of the Luo family got married, my people in Shangyong have already..."

Xue Ya interrupted her, "Ma'am, do you think I will believe you? You handed over all the trump cards you have in Shangyong to a crazy trash who has never been to the Central Plains? If so, is that trash How did you hide in Shangyong for so long without being found by the government?"

Bai Jingrong remained silent, her expression was calm, as if she was in a trance.

But Xue Ya knew that she must be quickly calculating the gains and losses in her heart at this time.

After a while, I heard Bai Jingrong say: "How do I know you won't fail? If you can't beat Xie Yan, who do I ask for the other half of the Jinluan Talisman?"

Mr. Xueya sighed, and said: "This is indeed a problem, then I will add another bargaining chip."

Bai Jingrong said, "Listen carefully."

Xue Ya said: "In exchange, all of Luan Yisi's troops in the Qi clan will be handed over to Madam. For this alone, Madam is not at a loss. Besides, Madam has half of the Jinluan Talisman in hand, even if Madam can't get it , others can’t get it, can they?”

While speaking, Xue Ya threw a token in the past. The token was in the shape of a luan bird, with a sharp Chinese character Luan engraved on it.

Bai Jingrong naturally recognized what it was. Her slender fingers groped for a moment on the token, only to hear a click and a tiny mechanism popped out of the token.Bai Jingrong took out a small scroll from inside, opened it and saw that it was densely covered with small handwriting.

Bai Jingrong looked at it carefully, and the expression on his face was a bit ugly, "Miss Luan has a good trick!"

Xue Ya didn't care, and just smiled at Bai Jingrong, "What do you think of this deal, madam?"

Bai Jingrong said coldly, "Deal."

After finishing speaking, she took out a sealed letter from her sleeve, and Xue Ya strolled up to her to take it, "Thank you, madam."

There was no handwriting on the outside of the envelope, and Xue Ya didn't pay much attention to etiquette, so she directly opened the envelope and took out the letterhead inside.

After scanning ten lines at a glance, the smile on Xue Ya's face became a little more sincere, "Madam really deserves to be a hero among women, I admire you."

Bai Jingrong sneered, "I wish Mr. Xueya good luck, the people from the Xie family are not easy to deal with."

Xue Ya smiled and said: "The Xie family is indeed difficult to deal with, but...that's because Madam doesn't know where Ceremony Luan is."

Watching Bai Jingrong leave, he walked up to Xueya alone and said in a low voice, "Master, do you really want to give her the Jinluan Talisman?"

Xue Ya smiled lightly and said: "Look at the present first, as for the Jinluan Talisman... Who knows who will win the deer? Even if it is in her hands, it is not so easy to go to sea."

It didn't take much time for Shangyonghuang City to go from quiet to noisy.Luo Junyao and Luo Jinxing had just passed a street when they saw a fire not far ahead.Luo Junyao thought for a while and said, "That's Mr. Huang's family from the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Luo Jinxing gestured to the people behind him, and the well-trained soldiers immediately scattered towards the direction of the fire.

Luo Junyao and Luo Jinxing also followed quickly, Luo Junyao slightly frowned and said: "These Jianghu people don't go to the treasure house, but come to the inner city to kill and set fire?"

Luo Jinxing said: "I'm afraid they want to take advantage of the fire to loot, don't worry, there are soldiers and horses stationed outside the gates of the houses, these people are free and will not harass ordinary people. Most of the official residences in the inner city have guards. Nothing will happen for a while, the Xuanjia Army and the Wuwei Army are also stationed secretly."

Sure enough, there was noise and the sound of weapons clashing in the Huang Mansion.

Not only the Huang's mansion, but also the mansions next to the Huang's house were lit up. On the originally quiet street, guards from various families rushed out with sticks and weapons.Immediately, there were many more people on the street, and they looked quite majestic.

These powerful families are afraid of death, unless the country destroys the palace and a large number of enemy troops invade, they can't resist, but even if a few people in the rivers and lakes can break into the palace with their martial arts skills, they may not be able to take advantage of it .

There was a sound of blares over the Huang's mansion, accompanied by a yellow firework.

Luo Junyao knew that it was a warning signal from the mansion, and once Wucheng Bingma Si saw such a signal, he would immediately send someone over.

When the two arrived at Huang's house, the courtyard of Huang's house was indeed very lively.

The guards of the Huang family were besieging seven or eight people who were described as vicious.Those people were of extraordinary strength. Although the number of guards was several times more than theirs, they did not cause them much trouble.But they were obviously not in a good mood, because they couldn't deal with these guards for a moment, and there was already noise from the street outside.Once the other guards or yamen soldiers around arrived, the situation would be very unfavorable to them.

The leading man roared and shot his eyes at the middle-aged man standing under the eaves, who was guarded by several guards.

He obviously knew that the middle-aged man must be the owner of the mansion, and he showed a ferocious smile at the middle-aged man. The man swept away the guard in front of him with a single knife, and rushed towards the people under the eaves.

This man's martial art is very strong, he is so murderous that he is almost invincible.

The guard next to him was startled by him, and couldn't help but dodge to the side, telling him to take the opportunity to rush towards the eaves.

Mr. Huang under the eaves was also taken aback, naturally he would not be shy when he was in his position. Originally, he didn't pay attention to these thieves, but he didn't expect these thieves to be so powerful, and it was too late to avoid them up.

The man swung his sword away from the guards blocking Lord Huang, and with a grin, he stretched out his hand to grab the person in front of him.

Master Huang exclaimed. When a frail scholar encounters such a situation, his body's reaction will always be slower than his brain's.

A breeze blew by, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the wind.

The man who stretched out his hand quickly withdrew his hand, and the cold blue light flashed across his fingertips.

A young girl in blue clothes stood in front of him with delicate and beautiful features, eyes as clear as stars.
