No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 511 Bai Xu vs Cao Mian (Part [-])
There was silence in the yard for a long time before Bai Xu laughed softly and said, "I made the prince laugh."

Xie Yan drank his tea calmly, and asked slowly, "I have something that I don't understand."

"My lord, please tell me." Bai Xu said.

Xie Yan said: "It should not be too long before this king imprisons Cao Mian to Wanhu City."

Bai Xu was silent for a moment, and did not directly answer Xie Yan's question, but said: "Then why did the prince imprison Cao Mian here?"

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't ask this question any more.

After thinking for a while, Xie Yan turned to ask: "What does Mr. Bai want from Cao Mian?"

Bai Xu was startled, and soon understood what Xie Yan meant, and sighed with some regret.But he didn't try to persuade him any more, but said, "A booklet."

Xie Yan frowned slightly, and Bai Xu said calmly: "It's a booklet written by my father before his death. Don't be nervous, your lord. It doesn't record anything that can subvert the world. It's my father's notes when he was young. I used to mess around After turning over a few pages, there are many contents related to Bai Jingrong."

Xie Yan understood a little bit, "Do you want to find out Bai Jingrong's weakness?"

Bai Xu nodded and quickly shook his head again, saying: "When I learned that my father was defeated and died in the battle, I was escorted by my subordinates to escape, and I brought that notebook with me in a panic. After that, I was very upset for a while, because it was The only relic of my father in my hand has been kept close to me. Later, we were defeated again, and I was rescued by Cao Mian, but after waking up, the notebook fell into Cao Mian's hands."

Xie Yan said: "If it's just an ordinary note, why won't he return it to you?"

Bai Xu said helplessly: "He saved me because I had something to do, and that diary also wrote a lot about me, so he naturally hoped to have something to do with me. And... I suspected at the time that he wanted to He killed me to silence him, and lied that the location of the treasure of the Bai family was hidden in the notes of my father. Without the help of people from the Bai family, no one would be able to unravel it. Three years later, I did help him find a treasure, and he escaped smoothly. But the amount of money is not large, he suspects that I did not explain it clearly, so naturally he will withhold the money and refuse to return it."

"Those treasures?"

"That's just a hidden place where Da Chenjun keeps his military salary somewhere."

Bai Xu said: "My father's defeat was sudden, and many people died on the battlefield without realizing it. Almost none of the generals who followed my father that time survived. In this way, the people may indeed have scattered a lot of secret wealth. "

Xie Yan nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Don't worry, the Regent. It's been so many years. It was natural for the winner and loser to fight for the world back then. I have no intention of provoking war again, but I have to avenge some grievances."

Bai Xu said: "As long as these things are dealt with, Bai will immediately go to sea by boat, and he will never step into the Central Plains again in this life."

Xie Yan said calmly: "It's not necessary. I know what Mr. Bai means. As for the things in Cao Mian's hands, I will take them."

Bai Xu also understood what Xie Yan meant, Xie Yan would get what Cao Mian had, but he might not give it to him.

He didn't argue, just smiled and said: "So, I'm waiting for the good news from the Prince Regent. In addition, I might as well tell the prince one more news."

"All ears." Xie Yan said.

Bai Xu said: "If my guess is correct, Cao Mian should have a very close relationship with Luan Ceremony Division, and the real person in charge of Luan Ceremony Division has already arrived in Wanhu City. The two you caught last year should also tell the prince What have you been?"

"How can Mr. Bai be sure?"

Bai Xu took out half of the jade pendant and said, "I got this from Luan Yisi's person. Wu Yi has a piece in his hand that can be combined with this one. It's a token from Cao Mian. But there should be some One piece is missing, I don't know if it is on Cao Mian or there is another owner."

Xie Yan nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bai."

Bai Xu stood up and said, "That's it, I will take my leave."

Xie Yan raised his hand to signal for Duoying standing not far away to see off the guests.

But Bai Xu didn't leave in a hurry, and after pondering for a moment, he asked: "My lord, have you never thought about arresting me?"

Xie Yan said: "Emperor Gaozu didn't exterminate the Dongfang family, why did this king kill the Bai family? If the world is peaceful and the people are happy, it doesn't matter if your surname is Bai or Dongfang. If the people don't have a good life, there will be Huang as well as Bai. "

Bai Xu smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, farewell."

After Bai Xu went out, Xie Yan reached out to pick up the jade pendant he put on the table to play with.

It took a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Xi Ying."

"My lord."

Xie Yan said: "Go and send the letter pressed under the inkstone in my study back to Shangyong."

Xiying nodded, turned around and entered the study.

Soon he came out of the study with a letter in his hand, but there was no name on the envelope.

"My lord, who are you giving it to?"

Xie Yan said: "Ji Rong, after being idle in Shangyong for so long, it's time for him to do something."

Xiying should be, turned around and went out to do some business.

The yard was silently empty, Xie Yan drank tea slowly and remained silent, and the duoying sent the guests back to see the prince still sat quietly and did not bother.

He knew that the lord was thinking about many things in his mind, which people like them couldn't get their hands on.

It took a long time for Xie Yan to stand up and walk towards the door of the room, while looking at the overlapping shadows, he asked, "Is he gone?"

"Yes." Duoying said: "There are people waiting outside, and they are not weak."

Xie Yan chuckled, and went into the room without saying anything.

In the room, Luo Junyao was lying on the bed and sleeping deeply.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xie Yan looked down at her peaceful sleeping face, and couldn't help but chuckled.

Raising his hand to gently caress her reddish cheeks, this time Luo Junyao was woken up by him.

Luo Junyao opened his eyes in a daze, and asked, "Is it dawn?"

"It's not dark yet."

Luo Junyao immediately remembered what happened before, and sat up quickly, "How long have I been asleep?" Looking down, she had already changed her clothes, and her injuries had already been healed.

it hurts!

Seeing her frowning in pain, Xie Yan said helplessly, "Do you know the pain now?"

Luo Junyao immediately lowered his arm and said, "It doesn't hurt too much."

Xie Yan sighed softly, raised her arms and pulled open the sleeves, looking at the wounds that had been wrapped up, frowning.

Luo Junyao hurriedly said: "It's really all right, how can you not get hurt in a fight? I will be more careful next time."

Xie Yan said: "Just like to fight with people so much?"

Luo Jun shook his eyes and said: "When you were practicing martial arts, you only liked yourself to be capable?"

Xie Yan was speechless.

Indeed, people who practice martial arts have the pursuit of making themselves stronger, so naturally they have to constantly compete with others.

"I will fight with you in the future." Xie Yan said.

His strength can guarantee that she will feel the pressure without really hurting her.

"No, you will release water."

"I won't let go." Xie Yan said.

Luo Jun shook his eyes, "It's a deal?"

"Xie Yan said helplessly: "It's a deal. "
