Chapter 49 Chapter 49: Two Dragons Competing for the Pearl

Lian Xiuxiu sat alone in front of the stage, pressed her fingers on the keys, but did not play, her eyes were deep and beautiful, thoughtful. The pretty maid Hua'er walked in with a solemn expression, and stood beside her without saying a word, her cheeks puffed out. Lian Xiuxiu asked in surprise: "Who offended you?" Hua'er said: "Little maid heard a very terrible news, and my heart died of anxiety!" Lian Xiuxiu was stunned and said: "What news?" Hua'er's eyes turned red and said: "The court lady Xiao Zhu who had a crush on the maidservant just now told me secretly that the emperor is planning to accept you as his concubine on the last day of his birthday."

Lian Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, then she said in relief: "Don't worry! I have my own way to deal with this matter." How did Hua'er know that she was backed by Lang Fanyun, an impossibly hard flower protector, the emperor complained like a eunuch, "Miss! The emperor's order is hard to break, how could you escape the emperor's evil hands." Lian Xiuxiu said solemnly: "Don't mention this matter in front of anyone, otherwise not only your life will be in danger, but also sister Xiaozhu will be tired." Then she frowned and said: "Why is this little Zhu so bold, how dare to put this I'll let you know about it."

Hua'er said: "Xiaozhu and the maidservant get along very well: she also admires you, Miss, and loves hearing about the maidservant's affairs the most." Xiuxiu's expression changed: "What did you tell her about me?" Hua'er was taken aback, and stammered, "I didn't say anything, it's just an ordinary thing!" When Lian Xiuxiu looked at her suspiciously, Lang Fanyun's voice transmission sounded in her ears: "Ask her that Xiao Zhu serves that concubine." Lian Xiuxiu was ecstatic in her heart, but there was no trace on the surface, and asked Hua'er as she said.

Hua'er replied: "It seems to be someone from the prince's bedroom, even the servant girl can't figure it out, alas! The palace is so big!" Seeing that Lang Fanyun had no further instructions, Lian Xiuxiu sent Hua'er away, and went back to the dormitory happily. Lang Fanyun, who made her miss day and night, was sitting leisurely in the chair with her legs raised. Lian Xiuxiu put aside all her reserve, sat in his arms recklessly, put her slender hands on his neck and said happily: "Xiuxiu is worried to death, there are so many guards in the palace, I am afraid that even you will steal it." Do not come in."

Lang Fanyun put one arm around her small waist, took out the jug with the other hand, poured her a sip of the clear stream and spring, and then drank a few swigs himself, and said with a casual smile: "There are indeed some places in the palace that are even I can't sneak in without anyone noticing, but it's not Miss Lian's boudoir." Lian Xiuxiu happily said: "Xiuxiu's boudoir will always open the door of welcome to Lang Fanyun. Uh! You heard it just now, tell me when Lang Fanyun plans to rescue Xiuxiu." Lang Fanyun said with another meaning: "I'll tell you after tonight." Changing the subject, he said: "Pang Ban is here!"

Lian Xiuxiu couldn't hide her delicate body trembling slightly, lowered her pretty face, and peeked at Lang Fanyun anxiously, fearing that he would be displeased by her reaction. Lang Fanyun laughed dumbly and said: "Does Xiuxiu think that Lang is a narrow-minded person? Pang Ban is the most attractive man in the world. It is only natural that Xiuxiu is attracted to him, otherwise it would be strange." Then he smiled slightly Said: "I guess he will come to see you." Lian Xiuxiu said in shock: "Then what should I do?" Lang Fanyun said affectionately: "Go with it according to your own will! No matter what Xiuxiu does, Lang will never reduce her love and pity for Xiuxiu, nor will she abandon you."

Xiuxiu's eyes sparkled with emotion, she kissed him lightly on the mouth, and said resolutely: "Xiuxiu understands!" Lang Fanyun said: "I'm going to follow Hua'er, she's about to go out." Xiuxiu was taken aback, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Huaer?" Lang Fanyun said: "The problem lies with Xiaozhu. She deliberately asked Hua'er to pass on the news that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to accept you as his concubine, just to test Xiuxiu's reaction." Lian Xiuxiu was puzzled and said, "What's the use of that?" Lang Fanyun said as if nothing had happened: "Like you just didn't care about it just now, after Xiao Zhu knows, you can infer that someone is behind your back, and thus know that we continue to communicate, even quite close, At least you can tell me about it within three days."

Xiuxiu's face changed: "That's too bad, why didn't you warn me and let others put on a play, that's what Xiuxiu is best at!" Lang Fanyun smiled and said: "This is called planning, but maybe it doesn't have to be so troublesome, let's see what I do tonight." He picked her up, put her on the bed, kissed her on the face and said: "Be a little girl!" Have a good dream! I will visit you again later, maybe I will get into your bed and sleep with him." Lian Xiuxiu eagerly said: "Oh my god! I know you will come back, how can I still sleep!"

Lang Fanyun injected a burst of true energy into her body, Lian Xiuxiu's whole body immediately relaxed, drowsiness flooded her mind, in a blur, she felt that Lang Fanyun took off her outer robe carefully and gently, and when she was covered with the quilt, she had already entered the room soundly. Sweet dreamland again. Pang Ban left the garden and walked towards the front hall. There were only Fang Yeyu, Mrs. Zhen, Meng Qingqing and Ren Bi in the hall, who were discussing the details of evacuating Jinling. When they saw him enter the hall, they hurriedly got up and saluted.Even an arrogant person like Ren Bi dared not breathe a sigh of relief.

Pang Ban smiled slightly and said: "It's time, I'm going out for a stroll, you can take care of yourself, there is no need to be polite." Ren Bi couldn't help but asked, "Does the magician want to find that Shuiyue Dazong?" Pang Ban nodded and said: "That's right, Lang Fanyun was stimulated by something, and his killing intent was strong. If Pang doesn't take a quick step, he will lose this rare opponent." Meng Qingqing was moved and said: "I once heard that there is the art of locking the soul between the enemy and us in the magic book. When I first heard it, I thought it was absurd. It is only now that I know that there is such a shocking strange art in the world."

Mrs. Zhen asked softly: "Master, do you know the whereabouts of Shuiyue Dazong?" Pang Ban said nonchalantly: "As long as I take a walk outside, unless he is not in Jinling right now, it's hard to escape Pang." After a pause, he said cheerfully: "I already have a faint feeling of where he is." Except for Fang Yeyu who was not surprised, the others were all horrified. They offended Pang Ban, but there was nothing they could do if they wanted to hide. Fang Yeyu said: "Master, please drop by me to find Protector Hua, otherwise Protector Liu will never leave the capital. Now he is going out to search for Protector Hua, I am afraid that he will be in danger!" Pang Ban smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, and went out in a hurry, just like going out to relax, not like looking for a decisive battle. When Han Bai came to Xining Dojo, his heart was filled with the ecstasy of kissing Qin Mengyao warmly goodbye, which was both sad and sweet, which contained the fairy's sincere and deep love and affection for him. Although he felt heartbroken, it was by no means strong.When seeing Zhuang Qingshuang who was waiting for him to come, his mind had already turned to other things. This is the changeable characteristic of the demon species, and it has a lot to do with his easy-going and open-minded personality. After Zhuang Qingshuang complained to him happily, she took him into the secret room of the dojo. After a while, Zhuang Jie and Sha Tianfang came one after another, and the two girls retreated obediently, and they closed the iron door. Sha Tianfang was the most impatient, looking at Han Bai with both eyes, and said, "Xiao Bai, you said you have something to tell, are you referring to Shan Yuru?" Han Bai knew that they got the news from Ye Sudong, but he didn't know how much Zhu Yuanzhang revealed to Ye Sudong. After nodding his head, he asked, "I wonder how much Shagong knows about this matter?" Sha Tianfang frowned and hesitated. Zhuang Jie said solemnly: "We are all our own people, don't keep anything in your heart, otherwise it will be in vain." Han Bai was moved, he never thought that Zhuang Jie, a fox, would say such a thing to his cheap son-in-law. Sha Tianfang was also slightly taken aback, looked at his junior for a while, and after confirming that he wasn't just talking casually, he said: "We already know that Shan Yuru is secretly supporting Hu Weiyong's waist behind the back, after tonight, I think she is still Why do you do evil?" Zhuang Jie interjected: "Unexpectedly, Tian Tong of the Wudang sect is also a member of the Tianming sect. It's really chilling." Han Bai sighed and said, "It sounds like the emperor still keeps the truth in his heart." Sha and Zhuang were moved at the same time, and looked at him with wide eyes. Seeing Han Bai's expression, how could they not be surprised. Among the eight sects, the Xining Sword Sect is the most favored. In the capital, they really control the wind and rain and enjoy the glory and wealth. Therefore, they are also most concerned about the safety of the Ming Dynasty's imperial power. Shan Yuru is the most important figure outside the Central Plains demon Chizun Xinxin, and has always been incompatible with the orthodox Baidao. If he is allowed to gain power, the Baidao will definitely encounter unprecedented catastrophe. Sha Tianfang said anxiously: "Stop hesitating, speak out quickly!" So Han Bai did not hide anything, and told everything he knew, even the subtle process of discovery, and what he said to Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not omit.As Zhuang Jie said, there is absolutely no room for ambiguity at critical moments like these.How can Zhuang Jie be his father-in-law, so he should look at Shuang'er's face even if he doesn't look at the monk's face. The expressions of the two elders kept changing, and in the end, their faces were as ugly as they were.Especially when they heard that Yun Yun should belong to Shan Yuru, their faces turned ashen. All along, the Xining Sword Sect's position has been to resolutely support the emperor's grandson and oppose the king of Yan, with a clear-cut stand, that's why they are so merciless towards the little king of Yan. If Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Yun Wen and established King Yan because of this now, then King Yan would just ignore the Xining faction and tell their people to pack up their bags and return to their hometowns. But if Shan Yuru succeeds in killing both Zhu Yuanzhang and King Yan, then the first thing she wants to do is the Xining faction who has always been loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, so as not to support them with other princes and fight against her Shan Yuru. This time it is really difficult to be a man. Han Bai wanted to pat his chest to ensure that King Yan would show him some face, but when he remembered that King Yan was another Zhu Yuanzhang, his puffed up chest immediately shrank back, and he couldn't say any words of comfort. Zhuang Jie was finally the suzerain of the sect, he pondered for a while and said: "No matter what, Shan Yuru can't let Shan Yuru control the world. At that time, not only Bai Dao will be robbed, but also the world will not know what will happen." Sha Tianfang took a deep breath and said, "We'd better make an escape plan first, otherwise Shan Yuru won't even be able to leave once he gets power." Is Shan Yuru related?" Zhuang Jie sighed and said: "If even Lang Fanyun, Ms. Mengyao and Ghost King think so, and the emperor's reaction is so weird, the truth should be eight or nine, alas! Otherwise, how could Shan Yuru do it by herself? If we want to get rid of Hu Weiyong, once this traitor is gone, there will be no trace of her." Sha Tianfang said: "Why do you have to inform Sudong? I will do it myself. Alas! How could things suddenly become like this?" I couldn't help but regret it, if they hadn't been blindly standing on Zhu Yuanzhang's side and had a better relationship with the ghost king, they might have discovered Shan Yuru's conspiracy earlier, or had a better relationship with Yan Wang, or even married Zhuang Qingshuang Little Yan Wang, this time is another matter. Zhuang Jie frowned and said, "Did the ghost king really say that the emperor can't pass this test?" Sha Tianfang also said nervously: "He said that the emperor will not survive this year or these few days?" At such a time, those who least believe in fate also hope to grasp the unpredictable future through relative learning. Han Bai smiled wryly: "Judging from his tone, it seems that these few days will not pass, otherwise he would not order Yan Wang to flee immediately." Zhuang Jie said: "I don't believe that after the Emperor is on guard, Shan Yuru can still deal with him." Han Baidao: "The emperor himself doesn't believe it. But now even Shuiyue Dazong is Shan Yuru's accomplice. According to Mengyao's observation, it is possible that Changbai faction Dumi colluded with Shan Yuru, so we can see how thorough her preparations are." !" The two of them shook their bodies and said, "What?" It goes without saying that the Xining faction of the eight factions is the only one who enjoys Long En.The most ambitious one is of course the Changbai Sect, not only envious of the Shaolin Sect's position as the hidden leader of the eight sects, but also strongly jealous of the Xining Sect, they are united on the surface, but they always want to replace it with the Xining Sect. Han Bai's words immediately gave up the hearts of the two elders who still had a little illusion. Zhuang Jie said decisively: "If King Yan becomes the crown prince, things will be easy to handle. At most, we will return to Xining, but if Shan Yuru gains power, we have to withdraw from the capital immediately, and then unite with the world to fight for life and death with Shan Yuru. " Han Bai was pleased in his heart that his father-in-law was still a character after all.
