Miss Fortune: Is the regent ready for today?

Chapter 4 An Uninvited Old Friend

Today's assassination was not caused by Jianghu people or royal family members, but was arranged by imperial officials.At first Yin Luo only had this guess, but after Xu Lanyun appeared, this guess was confirmed.When the assassins saw Xu Lanyun, they were too timid to let go and restrained their murderous intent. They were clearly afraid of hurting her.

It is known throughout the country that Xu Sanjin, the minister of Dali Temple, has a son and a daughter, and his daughter Xu Lanyun is the most favored. If Xu Lanyun is injured at the hands of today's assassins, Xu Sanjin will definitely investigate to the end. If anything is found out by then, ...That person will have to be trapped in the whirlpool.

who can that be?

Yin Luo already had two candidates in her mind. Just when she was about to think deeply, Yu Ruyi beside her suddenly patted her on the shoulder, "Yin Luo! You are wandering again!"

Yin Luo was a little confused by this move. She calmed down, glared at Yu Ruyi, and said nothing.

Yu Ruyi still wanted to argue with reason. As soon as he turned towards Yin Luo, a golden needle came towards him. He turned his head to avoid it, and the golden needle was completely buried in the pillar behind him!
After contacting the hidden stakes, Yan Juanfu saw this scene as soon as she walked into the main hall. She felt a cold feeling behind her and stopped.

Although it is just a slender golden needle, it can ruin a person's lifelong martial arts cultivation...

Yan Juan didn't dare to approach easily.

Yin Luo heard footsteps and looked towards her, "Have you contacted the hidden stake?"

Yan Yao cupped her hands but did not move her feet. She nodded and reported: "Cult Leader, our hidden stake is placed in Yuchai Pavilion."

Yu Ruyi stood up and said, "My Jade Hairpin Pavilion?"

Yan Yao nodded, "Sixth Young Master, do you think there is anything wrong?"

Yu Ruyi gritted her teeth, "Do you know how much money Yuchai Pavilion can make in a day? It's used to house spies?"

Yin Luo's eyes signaled to Yan Cao to leave him alone. She smiled and asked Yan Cao: "Looking at your look, did you bring back any new news?"

"Yes. An Zhuang said that there will be a big auction in Beijing in three days. It will be held by Tingxian Tower. A thousand-year-old snow mountain ginseng will be auctioned. All the dignitaries and famous merchants in Beijing have received invitations to enter..."

"What? What are you auctioning?" Yu Ruyi walked towards Yan Yao, "Thousand-year-old snow mountain ginseng?"

Yan Cao looked at Yu Ruyi, took two steps back, and kept a safe distance from him, "Yes. Tingxianlou is auctioning thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain ginseng."

"That's worth a thousand taels of gold. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to auction it here in Beijing?" Yu Ruyi clicked her tongue, subconsciously thinking about how to get this valuable thing into her own hands.

Yin Luo was very interested, "When did you hear the news?"

"The news came out not long after we entered Beijing."

Yin Luo was thoughtful.

A glimmer of light flashed in Yu Ruyi's eyes, and he walked to Yin Luo with a slight smile, a little flattering, "Sister, I want to go."

"There will be guests coming tonight, you can ask him for it then."

Yan Yao frowned, "The leader invited friends?"

Yu Ruyi also frowned, "She just arrived in Shangjing, where did she get her friends from?"

Yin Luo smiled mysteriously, "Uninvited... old friend."

Tingxianlou this side.

Nie Renxi reported all the news that Nie Heng had just brought to Young Master Qingpao. After hearing this, Young Master Qingpao pondered for a moment and replied, "Do you know the origins of those assassins?"

Nie Renxi nodded and shook his head, "This assassination must be aimed at Antaisi. The Yin family has made a target. The person who sent the assassin probably did not want Antaisi to have Shang's help. It is also possible that that person He didn't want the Yin Mansion to appear and disrupt the original layout of the Shangjing Family, or maybe that person felt that the Yin Mansion's grand entrance to the capital was ordered by Antais... The man didn't want the Yin Mansion to appear and disturb his vision of looking for such things. If that's the case According to analysis, I already have two candidates in my mind, but I can’t confirm them yet.”

The green-robed young man smiled lightly and said nothing. He slowly stood up from the chessboard. His long hair fell down from his emerald accessories on his shoulders. The nobility of his body was clearly visible. He stepped down from the table and walked toward the eastward open window. Nie Renxi Follow his footsteps, "How confident are you that the Yin family siblings will come to the auction in three days?"

"I don't need to be sure. Whether they come or not depends on whether that thing is related to them."

"What do you mean, young master?" Nie Renxi was a little confused.

"Extreme wisdom will inevitably hurt, and trying to hide it will make it more obvious."

Nie Renxi scratched his head, not quite understanding the meaning of these two words in this matter, so he stopped asking further questions and decisively changed the subject: "In what capacity does the young master intend to appear?"

"Chiye."

Nie Renxi frowned slightly, "Just use the surname Chi?"

Chi Ye nodded, his tone calm: "How?"

Nie Renxi gritted his teeth, knelt down and saluted him, "Young Master, you have thought carefully. The surname Chi is extremely rare in the Three Kingdoms, and it may cause trouble." "This is the beam, you don't have to kneel to me." Chi Ye stretched out his hand to pull it. He stood up and said, "Even if it is rare, it does happen. People of the Chi family will never change their surname. You should know this customary rule." He smiled slightly at Nie Renxi, with some astonishing arrogance in his peach blossom eyes, "More Besides, the Nie family will protect me, right?"

After hearing what he said, Nie Renxi's eyes became firm. Chi Ye was right, people of the Chi family will never change their surname!This is the customary rule!Nie Renxi looked directly into the eyes of the person in front of him, and actually saw in them the arrogance of being unparalleled in the world and the strength to cut through ice and snow!
This is the Chi family that the Nie family has been loyal to for generations!This is the Chi family that the Nie family has been loyal to for generations!
Nie Renxi's heart was inexplicably filled with passion, and he raised his hands towards Chi Ye, "The Nie family will protect the young master, even to the death!"

Dali Temple, State Affairs Office.

Xu Lanyun turned over and dismounted in front of the door, and a servant took him to the stable. Xu Lanyun walked quickly to the house and entered the main hall where the case files were processed.

The hall was divided into two floors. She raised her hands in front of the hall and saluted, "Father, brother, Yun'er is back."

Someone moved down the hall first and asked as they walked, "Has Jingxi's case been handled?"

Xu Lanyun smiled softly, "Well, brother, I brought the silver to Aunt Sun as you said. She is very happy."

"Hahaha - well done!" A middle-aged man praised him in the hall. Xu Lanyun looked up and saw a dignified and serious-looking man in black robes walking up to the mahogany railing of the upper hall. on, looking down at her with a smile.

"Father!" Xu Lanyun called.

The young man in the hall walked up to Xu Lanyun, and the light and shadow shone on his face, revealing a pale but handsome face. He looked at Xu Lanyun's blood-stained shoulder and frowned, "Are you injured?"

Xu Lanyun turned her head and looked at her left shoulder, and then she noticed the blood stains. Her face was a little embarrassed, and her words were no longer crisp: "It's not...my blood..."

"Are you fighting with someone again?" Xu Lanfeng said with displeasure in his tone, "Don't I not allow you to meddle in other people's disputes at will? If you meet someone who is better at martial arts than you, the loss and injury will not be counted. What should I do if I lose my life?!”

Xu Lanyun's face fell, and she raised her head to look at Xu Sanjin in the hall. Xu Sanjin coughed lightly, "Um, Feng'er, stop scolding my sister. She is so old and should know the severity. Let's listen to Yun'er. Tell me?" After Xu Sanjin finished speaking, he smiled at Yun'er, which seemed to mean: Dad is better.

Xu Lanyun smiled back and glanced at Xu Lanfeng, "Yun'er came back from doing things in the west of Beijing. He happened to pass by the palace. He heard the sound of fighting in the east of the palace road in the distance, so he took people to see it. I discovered that a group of assassins in dark purple clothes were surrounding and killing four people of similar age to me, so Yun'er stepped forward to help... I later learned that they were the Yin people who moved to Shangjing from the south of the Yangtze River and were rumored to be in Beijing today. The surname is Merchant..."

"The Yin family?" Xu Lanfeng frowned, "We were assassinated just after entering the capital?"

Xu Sanjin took a long breath and lost all the smiles on his face.

Xu Lanfeng and Xu Lanyun both looked at him and heard him say: "It must be Mei Chengting's token that caused trouble."

Xu Sanjin looked at Xu Lanyun again and asked, "There are no casualties, right?"

"There are no casualties." Xu Lanyun replied.

Xu Sanjin nodded with confidence, "That's good, that's good."

Xu Lanfeng didn't understand his father's behavior. He frowned and asked, "Father seems to be very concerned about this businessman named Yin?"

"Feng'er, you are still young, and you don't know much about Shangjing's past or present." Xu Sanjin narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the past, "Mei Chengting is not a good person to get along with." At that time, Antaishi only had three tokens, His Majesty and Mei Chengting each held one, and the rest was held by the Yin family, what does this mean? "

"Are the Yin family from Antaisi? Are the Yin family from Uncle Mei?" Xu Lanyun followed his words and asked.

Xu Sanjin shook his head, "These are not enough to get the Antai Commander's token." He looked at his two children in the hall and changed his words: "In any case, if you have any interaction with the Yin family in the future, you can avoid it." Just try to avoid it... If so," he paused for a moment, frowning slightly, "if you really can't avoid it." He sighed, "If you can help me, I will definitely help you."

"Why is this?" Xu Lanyun asked first.

Xu Lanfeng was also extremely puzzled, "Father is afraid of Antaisi's power?"

"Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dali Temple has never been afraid of anyone." Xu Sanjin looked outside the mansion and saw a very thick white magnolia tree not far to the south. He sighed, but in the end he saw nothing. Didn't say.

The Yin family... Xu Sanjin's thoughts drifted far away, and the memories that were almost forgotten were flooding back at this moment.

Shangjing City is still prosperous at night, but this prosperity has nothing to do with the Yin Mansion.Yu Ruyi transferred a total of seventeen disciples from Jiangnan, and they were scattered throughout the mansion. You might not see one of them even if you walked through a small courtyard.Now that it's night again, the disciples have finished taking care of their internal affairs and returned to their rooms to rest early.

The lights in the main hall were still on, and Yin Luo was sitting at the sandalwood square table drinking tea. Yu Ruyi lost interest, leaning on his forehead and worrying about how to get in to listen to the auction in Xianlou, and that he couldn't sleep when he returned to Shangjing.

Steady footsteps sounded in the exhibition hall behind the hall. Yin Luo raised his eyes and put down his teacup.Yu Ruyi sat up straight in an instant, her fingers subconsciously clenching the scroll hidden in her sleeve.

The atmosphere was solemn and silent for a moment. It was the person in the exhibition hall who spoke first. Although the voice belonged to a middle-aged man, it was surprisingly calm and gentle, "Who gave the Commander Antai card to you two little guys?"

Yin Luo glanced sideways, stood up and smiled at him, "You know it well, why bother to ask?"

The middle-aged man in front of him was wearing a dark red inner jacket and a deadwood-colored coat. It was a very strange combination, but when it was worn on him, it only looked grand. His hair was tied up high with a light tile gold crown. At first glance, He is in a high position.

The light reflected on his face showed that his complexion was fair and his facial features were still erect after years of baptism, indicating that he had been very handsome when he was young.

This is Mei Chengting, the envoy of Antaishi, the current emperor's confidant, who is inferior to one person in the capital and more than ten thousand people.
