Situ Yilan sat alone under the window of Xiaoxuan, and the earlier battle didn't seem to spoil her mood.
In her eyes, even if the strength of the party who shot seemed to be extremely strong, it would not enter her vision at all.
They are just charlatans who rely on their strength to eat, and in a way, these people are not much more noble than the porters who sell coolies on the docks......
Under the bright lights, there are two things side by side on the table, one is an ancient long sword, and the other is an open wooden box, revealing the size of a fish tank inside, the main body is made of crystal, and the outside is a hollow bronze dragon body wrapped and wrapped, the two are perfectly combined, making this strangely shaped vessel reveal a mysterious and gorgeous beauty.
At this time, Situ Yilan held the vessel and looked carefully under the lamplight, while the black-robed monster was standing motionless with his hands tied......
Situ Yilan has been sitting here to check this thing for an hour, but she still found nothing, so she had to put it down stupidly, frowning, and now there are some questions that she can't figure out.
"It's getting late, so let's rest. The black-robed monster spoke in a strange tone.
Situ Yilan breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Hei Lao, time is pressing, if we can't find the secret before handing it over to the Family Alliance, I'm afraid that the elders of the clan will be very dissatisfied, which will make it difficult for us to fight for a more advantageous position in the Eight Great Families." ”
"This time, Miss Yilan found the burial place of the dragon god's minister from the ancient books, which is already a great achievement. Cracking the mechanism and obtaining these two things in person is already a great achievement in itself. Why should the young lady worry about the clan elders?"
Situ Yilan smiled miserably and said, "These are indeed credits, but they are not enough for them to stop pointing fingers at me, I am afraid that after a few days, they will bring up the marriage with the Nangong family again...... You have also seen that Nangong Shijing, there is more than enough success and more failure, let me marry him?
The black-robed monster sighed helplessly, as a child of a family. Fate is in the hands of the patriarch, where is their turn to make their own decisions? Situ Yilan wants to control her own destiny, it is really too difficult.
"The Eight Great Families are also infighting, the Northern Underworld family is under the leadership of the 'Sword Demon' Northern Immortal, a dominant one, and the patriarch is in order to fight against it, this Nangong family is afraid that it must be united......"
'Sword Demon' is invincible!
It's just the appearance of the name. It made Situ Yilan feel a huge pressure, and even breathing became a little difficult.
I have always tried my best to avoid this name, because this name not only puts heavy pressure on people outside the Eight Great Families, but also a great psychological burden even within the Eight Great Families.
The Eight Great Families are just an alliance in a broad sense, but in fact they are just a group of interest groups that divide social resources. It is mainly caused by marriages for more than thousands of years, but in fact, there are still differences between inside and outside, such as the Helian clan, which was originally the Di clan, because of its huge power after being attached, in order to avoid conflicts between families. was included in the alliance, but because of its foreign identity and the hostile relationship with the Li family of Longyou for thousands of years. It was slightly isolated within the Eight Great Families. As for the remaining seven families, only the Gusu Murong clan, a foreigner clan in the earlier period, was willing to accept the Helian clan.
But there is news that this was originally from the Xianbei Murong clan and the Helian clan from the Tuyuhun tribe of the Di tribe, hundreds of years ago, they were both tribes of the Xianbei Murong tribe outside the territory, but later separated, and Tuyuhun, who was originally the elder brother, led the clan to leave the Xianbei Murong tribe, and became an independent tribe for a hundred years.
The Eight Great Families have a long history, tracing back to their roots, and each other has an extremely long and complex historical involvement.
Situ Yilan gently stroked the "bronze glass cup" and the ancient sword in front of her.
The original scabbard has been eroded by Yan zhòng, and the current scabbard was remade by a blacksmith in Changlong Mansion and replaced with a sword spike.
With a choking sound, the long sword was unsheathed, the sword body was as cool as water, illuminated by the light, and the sword body was thinly covered with a layer of glow, which was beautiful, and the shape was the same as the two swords of Bixiao and Biluo.
At the sword is etched two small seal patterns, which read: "Bixia".
It turned out to be the legendary "Dragon God" Ao Lie's "Bixia Sword", which was one of the eight keys to the "Bronze Dragon Tower" that could open the eight ministers who took care of their lives.
Before the "Dragon God" returned from the shattered void, the forged eight swords were given to the eight ministers, and six of them could be used to open the door of the "Bronze Dragon Tower", in addition to the most mysterious "Dragon Temple" that required the artifact-level "Supreme Dragon Sword", the eight secret rooms in the "Bronze Dragon Tower" corresponded to a sword, which contained thousands of years ago martial arts mastery, and there were countless gold, silver and jewelry.
As the descendant of the "Dragon God" Ao Lie, Xianlong Cave has three swords in his hands, and later after hundreds of years of extensive collection, he finally got five long swords, and the sixth long sword is Ao Ziqing's Bixiao Sword, thus uniting Qu Guihong, and abusing and killing Ao Ziqing's family, causing a storm with Ye Qingxuan.
At the same time, the Immortal Dragon Cave also found the seventh long sword, the Biluo Sword in Ye Qingxuan's hand.
And what appeared in Situ Yilan's hand at this time was the last eighth sword-Bixia Sword!
Among the eight great families, the Situ family and the Nangong family, who have the lowest martial arts inheritance, are the most concerned about the "Bronze Dragon Tower", after all, there are not many families with high martial arts inheritance like the Beiming Clan.
Both the Situ family and the Nangong family are known for their commerce and wealth, especially the cloth business of the Nangong family is all over the country, and the silk and satin used by the concubines in the inner courtyard of the palace are also supplied by the Nangong family.
It is not too much to say that the Nangong family is rich in the world.
This is also the reason why the Situ family is now able to meddle in the affairs of the "Bronze Dragon Tower", and tries their best to win over the Nangong family.
With marriage and joint study of martial arts as the method, the Situ family is interested in the wealth of the Nangong family.
As for the "bronze glazed cup" that side, it is also a key thing to protect in the tomb, and even in some respects, the specifications of protection exceed this "Bixia Sword".
Although finding the "Blue Sky Sword" is considered to have completed the task. But Situ Yilan has always been very interested in this "Bronze Glass Cup", and feels that this thing must have a close relationship with the "Bronze Dragon Tower". Otherwise, it will not be so valued by the owner of the tomb, and even if it is buried, it will be tightly held in his arms.
But what exactly does it do?
Situ Yilan gently stroked the surface of the "bronze glazed bowl" with her hand, from the green dragon pattern to the bottom of the bowl, where there was a groove, an equilateral octagonal groove.
There should be something to put here......
Perhaps, the answer lies in the lost thing, and that thing, in the direction of the base. It's supposed to be an octagon......
Situ Yilan's eyes lit up, and she suddenly asked in a low voice: "Hei Lao, the rumors about the 'Bronze Dragon Tower' on the rivers and lakes, is there anything octagonal, or with artifacts related to the octagonal?"
The black-robed monster paused slightly, thought about it carefully, and then said, "All the rumors on the rivers and lakes related to the 'Bronze Dragon Tower'. We've sent people to verify most of them, but most of them are fake...... However, there is only one rumor that has not yet been confirmed, but it has been circulating in the rivers and lakes for a long time......"
"What is it?"
"It is Jiang Shuihan, the son of Jiang Tao of the Great River League, it is said that he has something in his hand that is the key to opening the 'Bronze Dragon Tower'...... And legend has it that he also got a few martial arts from the 'Bronze Dragon Tower' back then, so that Jiang Tao of the Great River League could easily break through the innate nature. And he himself has made great progress in martial arts, and has become a famous young master in the world. ”
Situ Yilan was shocked and asked urgently, "What is it!?"
The black-robed monster patted his head and recalled, "It seems to be ...... Huh?" the black-robed monster clapped his hands violently and exclaimed, "Miss." The old slave remembered that it was called the 'Bronze Eight-Sided Drum'!"
"That's it!"
Situ Yilan slapped the table excitedly. stood up, and the ecstasy on his delicate face was overflowing.
At this moment, the black-robed monster turned around sharply and shouted, "What person!?"
With a swing of his body, he suddenly slid over a distance of three feet, and came straight to the hanging window on the side of the ship, and made a palm print to the edge of the window!
Bang!
A black shadow took the lead in breaking through the window and rushed in, but it was a thin and tall, black-scarfed assassin, with two daggers in his hands, one running to the black elder's palm, and the other party's throat, the move was swift and fierce, extremely fast.
There was a strange laugh, and the assassin shouted: "Even if you are vigilant, you should quickly give the sword and the glass cup to the old man, the old man is soft-hearted, and can leave you a whole corpse!"
"Look for death!" The black-robed monster's hands were filled with black light, and he quickly and quickly pointed at the vital points on the other party's body, but the person in front of him was as slippery as a loach, his body was weird and fast, and there was no sound of the wind, he was floating around in front of him, but he let himself miss the opponent's heavy hand several times, and after a while, the black old man actually felt sweat on his forehead, and his heart was terrified.
This time out of the mountain, it is really frightening, I don't know when so many masters appeared on the rivers and lakes, there is no sense of familiarity in the body, but the kung fu is so solid and tough, the young man earlier is like this, and the masked man who appeared at this time is the same.
"Hei Lao, you can't let him go, kill him!" Situ Yilan pulled out the Bixia sword, and quickly put the "Bronze Glass Cup" into the box, carried it to his back, and rushed straight to the black-clothed and masked assassin, and at the same time kicked the stool under his feet, and let out a loud roar on the hatch to warn.
"There are assassins!"
The sound of clothes tearing through the air was heard one after another.
Although the masked assassin was weak in the face of the black-robed monster and Situ Yilan's attack, his body was still unique, and after fighting for a while, he saw that he couldn't see the merits, laughed a few times, and said: "Okay, he is worthy of being a master of the Situ family, and his hands are really good. ”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and retreated, Situ Yilan and the black-robed monster couldn't stop them for a while, and watched each other rush out of the window, plop, fall into the water, and disappear.
"The traitor is leaving!" Situ Yilan was very angry and was about to set off to chase after her, but was stopped by the black-robed monster and said, "Poor Kou Mo chase, be careful of deception!"
Rumble!
At this time, the door was slammed open, and a group of masters rushed into the house.
"I'm guilty, Miss Situ is frightened!"
The eight officers who came with him were all from the Nangong family, and they had been following Yu Tianguan's side. This time I stayed, and I was also ordered to do so. Unexpectedly, there was a sneak attack by assassins on the first day, and several people had a layer of fine sweat on their heads, but fortunately Situ Yilan was not hurt, otherwise their heads would have to be moved.
"It's all right, you guys go down. ”
Situ Yilan sighed secretly in her heart, even with these people by her side, it didn't give her the slightest sense of security.
"What's wrong?"
An impatient shout came, and Nangong Shijing only wore a robe. He rushed up, revealing his smooth thighs, apparently with nothing in his robe.
Situ Yilan turned her head in disgust, and Hei Lao hurriedly replied, "I just met the assassin......
"What? that thing ......" Nangong Shijing's face immediately changed greatly, this thing that is related to his future cannot be lost, otherwise the patriarch will not be able to explain it.
Situ Yilan hated Nangong Shijing's style even more, and said coldly: "Don't worry." Stuff is still there. ”
"Oh, that's good, that's good......"
The officers around them bowed their heads one after another, and even they felt that they couldn't raise their heads for their master's appearance.
also said that he was an ally with the Situ family, and he didn't even care about the life and death of the other party, thinking only about things. It is also possible that someone is your future daughter-in-law, so you have to say hello first, even if it is face-saving.
It's just that Nangong Shijing did a good job of wielding the style of no one in the eyes of the children of the family, and asked directly anxiously: "Damn, these two things have a heavy relationship." The clan didn't send a master to protect ......."
Situ Yilan saw that he was open-mouthed, and said more and more in front of his subordinates. I couldn't help but cough as a reminder.
Nangong Shijing was stunned for a moment, but he understood that Situ Yilan was a reminder, but he didn't understand the true meaning of this cough, but turned his head indifferently and said to the black-robed monster: "Ah, Hei Lao, I didn't mean that you can't do martial arts......
Situ Yilan rolled her eyes and interrupted directly: "Okay, don't say it." He commanded the officer behind Nangong Shijing: "There's nothing to do with you here, you go down." ”
At this time, Nangong Shijing understood that Situ Yilan was asking him not to say too much in front of his subordinates, so he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then shook his head and shouted: "You guys, go, torture all the people on this ship, and see if the people on the ship did it......"
Situ Yilan sighed: "The assassin has already jumped into the water and fled, I don't think he is still on the boat!"
"Oh......" Nangong Shijing pursed his lips in disdain, thought about it and shouted: "Then you also go and interrogate to see if there are any suspicious people here, and maybe there are assassins' accomplices!"
This time, Situ Yilan didn't stop it.
The assassins were able to touch the ship, and it is very likely that they followed their whereabouts all the way and hid on the ship at the end, that is, at the same time that their group got something, the enemy had already followed the ship, not necessarily to assassinate and seize the treasure, but to confirm whether their group had succeeded, otherwise it was not necessarily one person, but a group of masters who would have been killed.
"Yilan, who do you think will show up on our actions?" Nangong Shijing said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter who shows up, what matters is how to keep things, until the masters of the clan come to help. Situ Yilan said.
Nangong Shijing just hates that this woman is so smart and calm, so that his man's dignity always feels trampled on.
The black-robed monster said: "The clan dispatched masters to help, but I am afraid that it will be three days later at the latest, and those who can arrive as soon as possible are only masters stationed nearby, and their strength is not outstanding, it seems that there are many people, but it is easy to expose their whereabouts, and even be taken advantage of by the enemy!"
"Then we might as well turn back and let Yu Tianguan and Chang Quan send troops to escort them!"
"It's hard to get things done with a rabble. Situ Yilan said.
"Then let's disguise ourselves and scatter and escape?" Nangong Shijing asked again.
"It's not a safe plan. At this time, we are only afraid that we have fallen into the surveillance of the enemy, and if the enemy finds out our identity, it will not only be dangerous, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to save things......"
"Then what do you say?" Nangong Shijing was a little embarrassed and angry.
Situ Yilan moved slowly in the room.
The eyes of the black-robed monster and Nangong Shijing followed Situ Yilan around, and suddenly paused, Situ Yilan turned around and asked, "Hei Lao, what do you say about the martial arts of those people on the deck?"
The black-robed monster said pertinently: "It's not bad, among them, there are at least three of them who can have the skills of the young people before, and there are two people, even I can't see through ......"
"So powerful!?" Situ Yilan was stunned, she didn't expect to get such an amazing answer.
"What are you asking them for?" Nangong Shijing asked, "Do you suspect that they are the assassin's accomplices?"
Situ Yilan snorted coldly and said, "If they are the mastermind, then they can be killed directly, and we are not their opponents at all." ”
"Then you mean ......"
"I'm going to hire them to be our bodyguards, and I'll protect us until reinforcements from the clan arrive......"
"No!" Nangong Shijing said in a negative voice: "These people don't know the roots, what if they have other plans?
"If we had done it, we would have died a long time ago, and I think they are just quacks at the right time......"
"It's hard to guarantee that they won't see Hunter's joy and turn against each other!"
"We just need to say that we are keeping you and me safe, and we don't have to mention these two things......"
"Do you think they will agree?" Nangong Shijing had some doubts, after all, not long ago, a little conflict broke out between them.
Situ Yilan said proudly: "No one can refuse the kindness of the Eight Great Families, and they don't dare. It's far better to let us owe them a favor than to offend us......" Ye Qingxuan's previous posture of seeking perfection was a clear proof of his unwillingness to have a bad relationship with the Eight Great Families in Situ Yilan's eyes.
Although Nangong Shijing was unhappy in his heart, he finally nodded with difficulty for the sake of his own life.
