Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Transactions Under the Conspiracy

The water flowed quietly, and the surface of the river looked extraordinarily quiet under the darkness of night. Under the cover of the faint skylight and the reed leaves, the three of them carefully avoided the dark whistle and moved forward slowly. Finally, Qiu Lingling led the two of them to stop in front of a stone wall. Miss Lan was secretly surprised. Out of curiosity, she had explored along the river once. She remembered that the stone wall in front of her was not only high, but also steep and smooth. Knowing martial arts, but there is a sinking river under the stone wall, so there is no way out!

Seeing her doubts, Qiu Lingling blinked, stretched out her hand and pointed into the river: "The exit is in the water, do you know how to swim?" in the water?Miss Lan was in a hurry: "I don't know how to swim." Qiu Lingling was also in trouble. Jiang Xiaohu looked at her and suddenly smiled: "I will." Hearing what he said, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Qiu Lingling took out a long strap: "You take her, and follow me by touching this rope. Don't make a sound, there are people over there." Miss Lan hesitated: "Is this okay?"

Jiang Xiaohu hugged her: "Don't worry, my wife, even if I drown myself, I won't cause you trouble." Qiu Lingling looked at it with a giggle, turned over and dived into the water, splashed a few small water splashes, made a slight noise, then showed his head, urging: "Go quickly, it will be too late!" Looking at the dark water, Miss Lan was still a little apprehensive: "Little lake..." "Wife who is not afraid," Jiang Xiaohu whispered into her ear, "Wait, hold your breath, take a breath first." Miss Lan looked at him for a moment, then nodded obediently: "You must not let me go."

"it is good." The weather had turned cold, and the moment she entered the water for the first time, Miss Lan couldn't help shivering, and then she heard "careful" in her ears, and was held down by a strong arm, and she fell suddenly. The bottom of the water was pitch black, and she hurriedly closed her eyes not daring to move. The falling motion stopped quickly, and the arm began to carry her to the left. Is the stone wall on the left?Although Miss Lan was nervous, her mind was not muddled. She was astonished and suddenly realized that the way out was under the rock wall, which was usually submerged by the river. When boats come in and out of the sluice, the upstream gate is lowered, and the water level drops to expose the channel, so the boat can enter and exit. When the boat came in, the gate must have been opened, so the boat would sink, giving people the illusion of sailing underwater.

The deeper the water got, the colder it became, and finally it was bitingly cold, and Miss Lan gritted her teeth to bear it. Obviously, this was not the temperature of the river in early autumn, but rather like a cold spring gushing out of the ground. Opening his eyes secretly, his head was shining brightly, as if it was being illuminated by the light. someone?Surprised, Miss Lan suddenly felt short of breath, she had only held her breath when she entered the water, but now she was exhausted, struggling and screaming at the bottom of the water, and when she was about to come out of the water to take a breath, she had enough strength to spare insufficient.

The mind is dizzy and the vision is more blurred. Small lake! She screamed and couldn't make a sound, she instinctively reached out and grabbed the side. The hand was quickly held, and then the body was turned over, the back of the head was supported, something soft was pressed against the lips, and her teeth were pried open. After a while, a gust of air came slowly. Gradually her mind regained her sobriety, Miss Lan was not stupid, she quickly understood the current situation, she was anxious and shy at once, a flame suddenly ignited in her heart, her whole body was almost melted, limp and powerless, the surrounding ice-cold water seemed like Also started to warm up.

After taking a breath, the lips did not leave immediately, instead there was a slight change, which was quickly noticed by her. He is laughing. The distance is so close, it is a kind of closeness different from physical touch, which can make her truly feel that he is by her side and will never leave her. The two lips meet, the other party is still a man, even though this man is her husband, Miss Lan still starts to panic, not because of him, but from herself, this kind of flustered feeling is something she has never experienced before, yes This man doesn't seem to be the "little liking" mentioned earlier, what should I do?

Under the water, there are three big fish slipping past faintly, gradually going away. This place seems to be a cave, with blazing torches on the shore, and a small table, several people are sitting around drinking and eating together, all wearing white belts around their waists. Alarmed by the string of water bubbles that just popped up, a young man looked over his head and saw the ripples on the water surface, so he couldn't help jumping up nervously: "No, there's movement!" Everyone was shocked, Qiqi dropped their chopsticks and went to the water's edge to check, but nothing unusual was found.

"You're dazzled, it's probably a fish, what a fuss!" "Who will find this place, spoil the fun!" The young man hesitated: "Do you want to go and see the gate..." "Brother, it's like this on the first day of work." Someone patted him on the shoulder. The young man smiled shyly. There were a few noises from the sinking water, and three heads popped out. Miss Lan took a few breaths, and found that this side was also flowing water, but the water temperature was very low and very cold. When she touched her back with her hand, the tentacles were very hard. It was not a stone wall at all, but it looked like copper and iron. A sluice was half open at the moment, and the three of them just got under it.

Qiu Lingling wiped the water from his face and explained: "This is a dark river in the middle of the mountain." Miss Lan already understood that this underground river originally connected to the river in Tianshui City, and this gate was set up in the middle to control the water level. To enter Tianshui City, two gates must be activated at the same time. In the distance, the flames shone, and there seemed to be human voices. "There are not many guards over there, just come out." No longer diving, Qiu Lingling swam forward first. "Xiaohu, are you cold?" Miss Lan was worried.

"It's not cold." Jiang Xiaohu lowered his head and touched her face, "Honey, what do you think?" "fine." "Aren't I very powerful just now?" sharp?With a hot face, Miss Lan picked his ear heavily: "Let's go!" With such a thrilling experience, the days after returning to Jiang's house seemed incomparably relaxed and comfortable. The young couple went to the casino to earn money in the morning, and sat together in the afternoon to imagine future business plans. As a celebrity, his wife naturally also received widespread attention. The name "Tigress" has long been known to everyone. Although Miss Lan was very discouraged, she was not as angry and sad as usual. She thought, Tigress Tigress, at least, the husband of a tigress is very polite. Jiang Xiaohu's life still seems to be not so easy. for example: "Master Jiang, Miss Huan invites you to go over and talk." "Hey, well, I seem to have something to do today, and I will go when I have free time in a few days." turn around. "How dare you go to that kind of place!" "I'm just talking..." "Say no!" "Wife stop! Wife! I don't like tigress at all... Wife spare me!" Another example: "Miss Liu invited Mr. Jiang." "Ah, I'm not free, I'm not free!" turn around. "You still want to go!" "Didn't I say I'm not free?" "Then you must go when you are free!" "Wife, please be reasonable... My wife is right, don't beat me! I was wrong, please forgive me!" Of course, most of the time the husband and wife lived peacefully and beautifully. When they occasionally mentioned it during gossip at night, Miss Lan would still be curious about the golden hairpin, but she never asked any more questions, because the number of people watching outside the courtyard had not decreased. "Small lake." "Yep." "This baby is not a good thing, it will hurt you." "I know." "It would be great if it wasn't for it, your father and the others wouldn't die, and neither would the Jiang family..." She stopped and didn't continue. Jiang Xiaohu looked at her for a long time and smiled: "Yes, even I understand the truth, but there are still people who want to get it." Miss Lan bit her lip and asked suddenly: "Shall we destroy it?" Jiang Xiaohu rubbed his head: "No, grandpa said, I will die without it." These words are not unreasonable, when the Jiang family was bloodbathed, how could he escape by luck?If those people didn't want to find out the treasure's whereabouts, he wouldn't be alive now. Everyone understands the truth contained in the words "cut grass and root", and Miss Lan remained silent. Jiang Xiaohu hugged her: "My wife, don't worry, there is a big secret here, and it will be very useful when it is absolutely necessary." what secret?Miss Lan just looked at the door worriedly. She found that many things were actually unexpected. For example, those mysterious people who were watching around Jiang's house were definitely not sent by one person, and the person in Tianshui City, why did he Want to save Qiu Lingling?No one would meddle in other people's business for no reason, especially the affairs of Shuifengqing and Qianshoujiao. In the clean and spacious hall, the floor made of white stone is not gorgeous, but it is a bit more serious. A delicate figure stands on the steps, and in front of her is a huge plain screen. A person came out from behind the screen. "I've wronged you these days." The man didn't wear a black hat, and smiled kindly, but the faint and powerful voice had already revealed his identity, "I still haven't found out?" She gave an "en" and bowed her head: "I... will think of another way." "No need," the man interrupted her, "I have a new arrangement." "New arrangement?" She raised her face in surprise. The man took a few steps and sighed: "That's right, I've waited too long, I don't know how many more years I can wait." She was a little nervous, and took two steps forward: "Would it be too early to start now? Besides, Qianshoujiao is not easy to deal with..." The man raised his hand to stop her from continuing, with a somewhat complacent expression on his face: "If he has money and comes to help, why don't we ask someone else?" She was slightly stunned: "Anyone else?" But the man stopped talking, and smiled and said: "I have a reason for this, you go on, don't make any moves in the next few days, and when the time comes, someone will come and tell you what to do." She didn't back down, but just stood still and hesitated. "Anything else to say?" "I... I don't think that treasure is a good thing. Everyone wants it. If it weren't for that, why would Jiang's family suffer such a catastrophe? Besides, we don't know if it's true or not. I'm just worried..." "That treasure must be real," the man smiled and patted her on the shoulder with sharp eyes, "The reason why the Jiang family ended up like this is because they are incompetent and not enough to keep it, but we are different. Don't be intimidated." She lowered her eyes: "Yes." Noticing her abnormality, the man remained calm: "Is there anything else?" She hesitated for a long time before summoning up the courage to speak, her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I think... If you know the secret, can you spare Jiang Xiaohu's life?" His eyebrows furrowed suddenly, the man turned his face to look at her for a while, and said slowly: "If you don't get rid of the roots, there will be endless troubles. How come the girl doesn't even understand this truth?" "I……" "Could it be that you fell in love with that kid?" "No." "Go down." "No wonder Your Excellency is so confident. It turns out that the plan has been planned long ago. This move is really clever." A strange young man came out from behind the screen. His face was like a crown of jade, and his appearance was very beautiful. His brocade robe and long sleeves almost fell to the ground. "My lord already understands, so why hesitate any longer." "My lord" took his time and sat down on the chair next to him. "I'm just worried about Your Excellency." The young master shook his head, and his kind smile had a deep meaning, "As she said, that treasure is just passed on by word of mouth, and no one has seen it. If you put all your effort into it, aren't you afraid of nothing in the future?" "Master" said with a loud laugh: "If you want to gamble, how can you be afraid of losing?" The young master stroked his sleeves and sat down: "I'm afraid of losing a lot. You must have been at a disadvantage in cultivating power secretly all these years. It is always a bit unwilling to ask me to use this money to do things for you for no reason." "My lord" looked at him: "But this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket compared to the previous wealth of the Jiang family." The young master just smiled and said nothing. The "lord" understands: "The Jiang family was originally the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, but since the massacre that day, Nuo Da's family property has disappeared, and the treasury is empty. It must have been transferred to a secret place." "This case is rumored to be murder and robbery," the young master nodded, his peach eyes narrowed slightly, his smile was indescribable, "Jiang's family died in a terrible state, and they seemed to have been tortured to extract a confession, but who is the murderer?" The "lord" didn't change his face: "It doesn't matter who it is, the important thing is that the treasure didn't fall into anyone's hands. No matter who gets it, it must be of great help." "There is also the sword manual of the day's shocking wind." The young master smiled. "The deal that was negotiated, the old man will never forget." "That's good," the young master looked outside the door, and changed the subject, "Guizhuang's formation mechanism is really exquisite, if Miss Xinluo didn't accompany me, I would definitely get lost too." "So, you can't miss her?" "My lord" remained calm, and his tone was half joking, "I have no time to spare these few days, so if that girl is negligent, my lord will not worry about it." The young master smiled but did not answer.
