I, make my own

Chapter 37 Calculations Everywhere
That night.

Zhou Lan stood by the small lake, listening to the rhythmic call of the grasshopper, her face was cloudy and uncertain.

At a certain moment, a ruthless look suddenly flashed in Zhou Lan's eyes, as if he had made some decision.

"Cheng Hai, go and do something yourself!"

"My lord, please tell me."

"After the people from the Tianji Building have picked up the items, analyze their route as quickly as possible, and leak it to He Yan!"

Zhou Lan finally couldn't swallow the anger in his heart, and decided to take revenge on Young Master Yan.

Cheng Hai's face changed slightly, and he said hesitantly: "My lord, if something happens to that thing, Tianjilou can easily suspect you."

"Now you have a request from the other party, this hiding place is also arranged by the other party, if they..."

"Don't worry! We are only responsible for the delivery, not the escort, and only they know their route. If something goes wrong, the most important thing they should do is to suspect and check the inside."

"Furthermore, even if they suspect, they will not move lightly without evidence."

"The most important thing is that I carefully recalled what happened before, and came up with a guess. It seems that Mr. Yan has been driving me as a pawn, and he will definitely want to continue to use me later."

"So, even if he suspects it, he can't really kill me!"

Zhou Lan said in a deep voice, his eyes were stern.

"He thinks he is a chess player, so I want to let him know that chess pieces can also be transformed into snakes in their arms!"

Cheng Hai opened his mouth, still worried.

However, he was also aware of Zhou Lan's temper, and knew that the other party had already made up his mind, and it would be useless to persuade him, so he stopped talking.

"Yes! This subordinate will do it now to ensure that there will be no leaks."

After Cheng Hai left, Zhou Lan heaved a sigh of relief, with a look of joy in his eyes.

He has suffered repeatedly in the hands of Mr. Yan, and every time he is plotted by the other party, now he has the opportunity to give the other party a slash, and it can also make him vent his anger.

As for why he was stabbed to He Yan instead of Jing Ansi or someone from the Three Kings family, it was naturally the result of comprehensive consideration.

However, the emperor's power has suddenly become the strongest in the current dynasty. As his ultimate enemy, it is naturally impossible for him to "advance the enemy".

On the contrary, the General's line was directly reduced to the weakest, and it was the best result for He Yan to get the [-] sets of heavy armor to strengthen the background of their line.

……

Qixiangyuan.

As a famous place for fireworks in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the women in Qixiangyuan are not only charming, but most of them also have carefully formulated and exclusive body fragrances, which make countless benefactors linger and forget to return.

In Jiasan Water Pavilion, five or six soft-figured women covered their mouths and smiled coquettishly, and even cast winking eyes from time to time, but none of them dared to come forward.

Gaiyin, the young master Pianpian sitting in the main seat wore a silver mask painted with gold patterns on his face, and the only eyes revealed under the mask were extremely indifferent, as if their beauty could not interest the other party at all.

The most important thing is that standing behind the young master is a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and fierce eyes.

Just now when they wanted to move forward, the young man gave them a look, which gave them a sense of death suffocation like a sharp knife dangling from their necks and their blood coagulated.

Although the other party didn't say anything, but they are used to seeing all kinds of benefactors and they also understand the meaning.

Tens of feet away, on a water-crossing corridor with people coming and going, a few figures are carefully looking at the Jiasan water pavilion.

"Are you sure that the one wearing the mask is Mr. Yan?"

"It's not wrong. Mr. Yan once revealed his identity in the Baixue Cave. I deliberately managed to find the person who met Mr. Yan that night to draw his portrait."

"Comparing it with the portrait, whether it is the gold pattern on the mask or the outline of the body, they are almost exactly the same!"

"So it looks like it's really him?"

"I think it's true. That guy is in a good position at first glance, and he doesn't allow Jiu Ji to approach, obviously he is quite cautious."

Several people were discussing in low voices, and when they talked about the latter, their breaths became short of breath.

Many people who go in and out of such occasions wear masks, after all, it is inconvenient for some people to show their true colors.

It was luck that they were able to spot the target.

Mr. Yan is a criminal, even if they don't directly participate in the capture, just a reported contribution is enough for them to get an unimaginable reward.

"In that case, report it immediately!"

One of them gritted his teeth and slapped the railing hard.

"Report? Captain Captain, you are crazy! This is a great contribution, how can you hand it over to others?"

"You're the one who is crazy! How can we catch this kind of big fish? Not to mention me, a little captain, even if the governor comes, it's useless!"

"Master Lieutenant is right. This Mr. Yan is mysterious, and he is very likely to be guarded by a ninth-rank powerhouse. In order to be safe, even if the chief of the department does not go out, it must be a certain hall master who mobilizes the elites of the department. You can only capture it if you surround it!"

"Hu San'er was fooled by greed, don't bother with him."

"Xiao Linzi went to report the letter, and the rest of the people continued to stare. Be careful to cover your figure and observe carefully from the corner of your eye. If the opponent has a ninth-rank powerhouse, it will be easy to be spotted if you stare for a long time!"

"Yes!"

……

Jing'an Division.

In a certain hall, two figures, one old and one middle-aged, were playing chess cross-legged.

"Report! My lord, report urgently!"

"What's the matter?"

The old man paused slightly with his right hand holding the chess piece, and after slowly placing the chess piece in place, he asked calmly.

He is Xu Mingyuan, the master of the West Hall of Jing'an Division, and the middle-aged player who is playing chess with him is Sun Qilan, the master of the East Hall.

"Report to the Palace Master! Found the trace of Mr. Yan!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two palace masters changed immediately, and they all turned to stare at the messenger, their eyes full of astonishment.

"Where?"

"Qixiang Garden, Jiasan Water Pavilion!"

Xu Mingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then waved his hand.

"Go down."

"and many more."

At this time, Sun Qilan suddenly made a sound.

The messenger hurriedly stopped and looked at Sun Qilan respectfully.

"Master Sun, please give me instructions."

"Have you reported this matter to the boss?"

"Going back to Palace Master Sun, the subordinates are preparing to go. According to the rules, not only the Palace Master must personally report to the Secretary-General about the traces of the criminals, but the subordinates must also go to the Secretary-General's Hall to report and register immediately after reporting to the Palace Master."

Sun Qilan stroked her mustache, and cast a meaningful look at Xu Mingyuan.

Xu Mingyuan frowned slightly, then stretched it out again, looking at the messenger.

"After a quarter of an hour, you will report to the Hall of the Master, and at the same time, you will also change the time when you receive the news. Do you understand?"

The messenger was a little puzzled, but as Xu Mingyuan's confidant, he didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly accepted the order.

After the person left, Xu Mingyuan looked at Sun Qilan.

"what do you mean?"

"That Mr. Yan obviously has a problem with the one in the palace. We can't kill such a person casually, otherwise it would be too cheap for the one in the palace."

"That's what you said. If that's the case, then send someone to secretly warn him and let him leave earlier."

Xu Mingyuan frowned and thought about it, then nodded in agreement.

Now the other three palace masters of the Jing'an Division have been subdued by Zhu Gaoyang. He and Sun Qilan belong to the Three Kings' Department and the Prime Minister's Department respectively. In order not to be defeated one by one, they can only form a group.

Unexpectedly, Sun Qilan shook her head.

"No, if you do this, you can only let Mr. Yan accept a small favor from us, which is not enough."

"Huh? How about that?"

"You and I each call together the elite cronies under our command, first capture and then release. Only in this way can we let Mr. Yan inherit our great favor, and even let him be used by us!"

Xu Mingyuan's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"That's a good idea. But since it's going to be done this way, there must be no big noise. In my opinion, the number of people on this trip should not be too many, thirty or fifty is enough. What do you think?"

"Can!"

"By the way, do you want to report this matter to the higher authorities?"

"Time is running out, it's too late, please wait until it's done."

"also may."

On the other side, the messenger was knocked unconscious from behind just as he approached the Flying Bird Terrace.

The main hall.

After asking his subordinates to do some tricks, Zhu Gaoyang got the desired message from the messenger.

After squinting his eyes and meditating for a few breaths, Zhu Gaoyang sneered and recruited someone to whisper a few words.

……

Qixiangyuan.

A three-water pavilion.

"What, what are you doing? Isn't it just asking for a glass of water and wine, as for the one who draws his sword?"

In front of the steps of the waterside pavilion, a bearded man yelled dissatisfiedly, facing the swords of several black-clothed guards, he was not at all afraid.

"roll!"

A black-clothed guard had a sullen face, his right hand was firmly held on the handle of the knife, and he gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

"Hey, I have a bad temper, do you know what it means to have a big black beard? It's fine if you don't call me Uncle, but you dare to chase me away?"

The bearded man stared with small eyes, rolled up his sleeves and jumped to scold him, feeling inexplicably happy.

The black-clothed guard's face darkened, and when he was about to make a move, a calm voice came from the inside.

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

The guards in black responded respectfully, and then ordered people to get out of the way.

The bearded man smiled triumphantly, stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the black-clothed guard, then walked into the small pavilion with his hands behind his hands and his chest in a carefree manner.

"Tsk tsk tsk, let such a few beauties stand around, brother, is it too violent?"

When the man saw a few wine girls standing by the railing, his eyes lit up immediately, and while rubbing his hands and laughing, he approached and sighed full of pity.

Just when the man was about to reach out to touch the cheek of one of the women, Zhou Xin's calm voice sounded again.

"The best ones in Qixiangyuan should be the pure-scented fox girls, right? Just arrange such a few mid-level wine girls with various body fragrances. It seems that I have never taken this young master seriously."

The man froze, and turned his head to look at Zhou Xin in surprise.

"Is it possible that Xiongtai is a regular visitor here?"

After asking, without waiting for Zhou Xin's answer, the man winked and smiled, and knelt down on the side of the long table.

"According to what Xiongtai said, the owner here is really not a thing. There is a real beauty but she is still hiding secretly, it really deserves a beating!"

Zhou Xin blinked, staring at the man with a strange look in his eyes, and a playful smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth under the mask.

"You're right. You really deserve a beating, so you should slap yourself twice."
