No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 513 The Secret of the Letters (Part [-])

Luo Junyao stared at Cao Mian intently, with his ears pricked up.

Is this something to eat?

After a while, Cao Mian said calmly: "It's been so many years, it's not impossible to say it. Even if I don't say it, Bai Xu may not be able to say it."

Luo Junyao thought to himself: "Bai Xu really didn't say anything, of course it's mainly because Xie Yan didn't ask." Luo Junyao felt that Xie Yan already knew what happened back then.

Cao Mian rubbed his brows, and slowly recalled: "Back then, General Zhengnan and I were ordered to hunt down and suppress Bai Xu and protect the remnants of his escape. It's a pity that we were too eager to do meritorious service and fell into a trap accidentally. General Zhengnan Injured by Liu Ya, I died within two days of going back. And I... I was captured by Bai's soldiers and horses at the time, but that was of no use. Because even if I and General Zhengnan were wiped out, the nearby There were many reinforcements coming from all sides, and they couldn't run away. What's more, we were not defeated at that time. The army was just accidentally injured because General Zhengnan was accidentally injured. The serious injury of General Zhengnan was an accident Well, the people from the Bai family didn't expect that the arrow would actually kill him. So they didn't want to kill me, but they had other plans."

"They let you go?" Xie Yan said.

Cao Mian nodded and said, "Yes, we have reached a deal. They let me go, and I helped them rescue Bai Xu. I didn't want to die at the time, so I naturally agreed."

Xie Yan looked coldly, looked at Cao Mian and asked, "Does the death of General Zhengnan have anything to do with you?"

Cao Mian was silent for a long time before saying: "No, when I returned to the camp, his arrow wound had already deteriorated, and he died before he had time to tell me a few words about his funeral."

Xie Yan nodded, Luo Junyao was a little disappointed, but there was nothing new about it.

Bai Xu said that he had something against Cao Mian, and it was nothing more than those things.

However, if Cao Mian is still the former Wen Dinghou, then it is really a big handle for him.

But now that he has confessed to treason, he naturally doesn't care about his reputation.

"My lord, what else do you want to ask?" Cao Mian said, "If it's about Bai Xu these years, then I don't know. Ever since he escaped from me back then, he has been avoiding me. Occasionally his People who met the Cao family were not very friendly. However, he did not have much interest in the court and the Cao family. The person he always wanted to take revenge on was Bai Jingrong, but it was a pity that Bai Jingrong could not be shaken by his ability and strength. This It should also be one of the reasons why he became king regent in the morning."

Luo Jun shook his heart and said, "You don't know about him, but he knows you have spent a lot of time, and he was able to get your token from Yisi Luan to deceive Wu Yi."

"Where's the brochure?" Xie Yan asked.

Cao Mian smiled and said, "Of course it's in a safe place."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't intend to hand it over."

"I want to trade him for my life." Cao Mian directly offered the conditions.

Xie Yan looked at him indifferently, "Do you think it's possible?"

Cao Mian said with a smile: "After so many years, Bai Xu still misses it so much that he even went to find the regent. The regent is not curious, what is in there? Bai Xu may not tell you the truth."

Xie Yan said: "You are in my hands. As long as you are here, others will not be able to get that thing. I am not in a hurry."

Cao Mian stared at Xie Yan steadfastly, and said in a deep voice, "What if I say... there is a secret that can destroy the Qi clan?"

There was silence in the cell.

With Cao Mian's winning ticket in his hands, Xie Yan looked at the two people in front of him calmly, without any unnecessary expression on his face.It seems that what Cao Mian just said is not a big deal.

Cao Mian said in a deep voice: "What I said is true... At least [-]% of Bai Tu's notes are related to the Qi people. The regent should know that when Bai Tu married the Qi people, he himself traveled to and from Qi many times. clan royal court and various tribes. And Bai Tu himself is also a rare famous general, doesn’t the prince want to know what he found in the Qi clan?”

"Isn't it too much to exchange this for my own life?" Cao Mian asked, "As for the treasure that Bai Xu said is still hidden in the letter, I probably won't have the chance to see it. It doesn't matter if it's true or not."

Xie Yan said: "Since Wen Dinghou hasn't thought about it yet, why not think about it again." He lowered his head and shook his head at Luo Jun: "We want to go back."

Luo Junyao nodded without asking any further questions, and waved to Cao Mian with a smile, "Mr. Cao, goodbye."

Cao Mian calmly watched the two turn around and walk out without stopping them, he was sure that the two would come back.

In this world, without his guidance, no one in this world can find what he hides.

When the two came out of the cell, it was already sunset.

The afterglow of the setting sun was still hot on his body, Luo Jun shook his head and glanced at the valley behind him.

The outside of the valley has returned to its original appearance, as if the chaos of that night never happened at all.

"It's getting late, let's go back to the city. Don't you still want to go to Zuihonglou?" Xie Yan said softly.

Luo Jun shook his head and asked, "Do you believe what he said?"

Xie Yan said: "He doesn't need to lie now."

"Then aren't you curious about the handbook?"

Xie Yan raised his hand and pinched her earlobe, and said softly: "Even if what he said is true, this is not something that can be done in a short while, don't worry, the immediate thing is more important."

"That's right." Luo Junyao thought for a while, "Ceremony Luan! They really are everywhere. If they let them escape this time, it would be really annoying."

Xie Yan said: "That's it, Cao Mian is here, no one can bring him out alive."

"Let's go back to the city." Luo Jun said with a smile.

When Xie Yan and Luo Junyao were about to return to the city, Luan Yisi's people had already found Wu Yi.

Wu Yi looked at a group of strangely dressed people who suddenly appeared in front of him, and asked cautiously, "Who are you guys?"

A young man walked out from the middle-aged man who was the leader of the group, and said with a little arrogance: "My master is a friend of Wen Dinghou. I heard that Wen Dinghou Meng Nante came to help. Wen Dinghou said Wu Yi The general is one of his most trusted people, and we came here to seek the cooperation of the general."

Wu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at everyone and said, "You are from Southern Xinjiang? Since you said you are friends of Lord Hou, what evidence do you have?"

The young man's expression changed slightly, and the expression on his face seemed a little embarrassed.

He turned his head and glanced at the people behind him, then lowered his voice and said, "Originally there was a token from Marquis Wen Ding, but it was lost on the way here."

Wu Yi didn't believe it, "Lost it? What kind of token?"

The young man said: "It's a Panlong jade pendant, carved from top-grade white jade."

Hearing this, Wu Yi's complexion instantly turned ugly.
