Lingqian shook her head in a daze, but she felt that the restraints on her hands were becoming lighter, the power that had been wrapping around her brain, oppressing her soul, and keeping her from waking up was fading, and what she saw in her eyes was gradually becoming clearer, the dim cave and the beating fire.

"Here, what's going on?" She muttered to herself, and then caught a glimpse of the spirits in the distance and the eighteen guards standing neatly.

"Ba ...... Hill ......"

The old man's words surprised me a little, he kept saying that he was willing to support Lingqian to become the new head of the family, and at the same time asked me to charge the price, I always felt that he was planning something, but this kind of premeditation is very deep, and I have too few clues now, and I can't see through it.

"What price do you want?" I asked.

"I'm not short of money, the Ling family has such a big property, even if I want money, you can't afford that amount."

"And what do you want? I hate playing pantomimes, just say what you want, don't grind. ”

"I heard that Sha Lao wants to train you to be a successor, I don't know if there is such a thing." Finally to the point, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the rivers and lakes are a place without secrets, and you can never hide the hidden news.

"Who did you listen to? How could Sha Lao pass on the throne to me? I snorted and said.

"You told me not to play dumb riddles, but I am not honest myself, and there are also my people in the 507 Institute. The three ancestors of the Ling family, one is good at wealth, one is good at martial arts, and one is good at listening. I'm the one who listens, all the intelligence networks of the Ling family so far have been established by me, and it definitely doesn't take two days to inquire about one thing. What's more, I am not the only one who knows that Sha Lao wants to pass on his position to you. If you don't admit it, then there is no need for our conversation to continue. ”

I raised my eyebrows, listening to the tone of the spirit, it was estimated that I really had more conclusive evidence, and it would be meaningless for me to blindly deny it, so I simply said: "Yes, Sha Lao has expressed this meaning, but it is not yet settled." What's wrong? Are you going to pat me on the back of the future director of the 507 Institute? ”

Naturally, I wouldn't tell the other party that I didn't want to be the director of the 507 Institute at all, nor did I want to get involved in their political struggle.

"I can't talk about sycophancy, but the director of the 507 Institute has a long tenure, I think that when I reappear in the rivers and lakes forty years later, you should be in your sixties, if you don't die, or if nothing happens, you should still be the director of the 507 Institute, and you are still in your prime. At that time, we could still work together, and there was a lot of room for cooperation. The meaning of his words was already clear, and I frowned and continued to ask, "Please be more careful." ”

"It's very simple, let's make an agreement, if I haven't died in 40 years, and you are in a high position, then you have to help me destroy the other two ancestors, and from now on, I will be the only ancestor in the Ling family!" Speaking of which, it can be regarded as finally getting to the point, it turns out that the ambition of the spirit group is here!

A man governs for twenty years, and then waits forty years before it is his turn to speak. This cycle is indeed very long, and the average person will live to be eighty or ninety years old, and if he dies in his seventies, it is considered a high life, that is to say, it is still unknown whether the spirit group that has lived to the present can last another forty years. He was obviously impatient with the wait!

But it's a good thing for me, I don't know if the old guy will live for forty years, but I'm definitely not going to be the director of the 507 Institute, so even if I promise him now, who the fuck knows what will happen in forty years. And for now, if I can rescue Lingqian without using the wrenching power, this is still calculated.

"Hehe, I'm okay." I nodded in agreement.

"You won't lose money on this deal." The spirit group waved his hand, but saw the three iron guards behind him come out, take out the key and throw it on the ground. Yuan Feng hurriedly stepped forward and picked it up, and after collecting the four keys, I could open the chains on Lingqian's body.

"Ba Xiaoshan...... How could you ......" Lingqian is very weak, and the tone of his speech is also very wrong, and he is weak. But fortunately, it seems that he has regained his consciousness and is still able to speak in an orderly manner.

"Luo Qiong, open the lock!" I threw the key to Luo Qiong on the side, and grabbed Lingqian's wrist with my own hand, the pulse was quite stable, but it was very weak, and the whole person was lacking in vitality, and I needed to bask in the sun immediately to regulate my body.

"Why are you here? Who asked you to come......"

"Don't talk, protect the dantian's qi, and go out and talk about it." I didn't let Lingqian speak, and when the chain was opened, I picked it up and walked straight out. The spirit group didn't stop me, and smiled: "You and I have agreed to it." ”

I nodded, and led everyone out of the Blue Sky Cave and walked towards the outside of the mountain.

Back in the town, in the room of the guest house, Yuan Feng came out after checking Lingqian's body and said: "There are no obvious extracorporeal injuries, but it may be frightened or too exhausted to cause exhaustion, and you should be able to recover after resting for a while." ”

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the fat man patted my arm and said: "Now that Lingqian has also been rescued, there is no need for us to continue to stay, we thought at first that Lingqian was going to kill her, but now it seems that this is not the case." Since Lingqian is safe, let's get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. ”

The fat man thought the same as me, Lingqian was originally just a bargaining chip used by the ancestor of the Ling family to blackmail Lingyan, and now Lingqian took the initiative to release people, proving that the value of Lingqian is no longer so important, and it should be time for us to leave Yuyang.

"That's right, get ready, let's go on the road tomorrow and go back to Shanghai as soon as possible. By the way, inform Sha Lao again, the reinforcements are still on standby, don't rush again, don't run in vain. ”

I thought it should be a terrible battle, but in the end it ended up with such a ridiculous ending, although the action of the spirit group was a little unexpected in my opinion, but it was also reasonable, the only thing that puzzled me was that he would actually let us go. Did he trust me too much, or did Lingqian really have no value in his eyes?

Late at night, I was taking care of my bag, but Yuan Feng knocked on the door and walked in, saying, "Brother Shan, Lingqian woke up and shouted to see you." ”

In Lingqian's room, she was half-leaning on the edge of the bed, her hair was hanging loosely on her shoulders, her eyes were tired, and there was a faint sadness between her eyebrows, and she looked up at me and smiled when she heard the voice.

I must admit that Lingqian herself is a very beautiful girl, but in the past every time I think of her, I will unconsciously feel like a tomboy, not that she has an unexpectedly unseen body or looks like a man, on the contrary, this girl has a bumpy body and a beautiful face. When it's time to be quiet, she's like a college student, and when it's time to go into battle, it's definitely a female warrior. It's just that every time I meet her, I'm out on business, and after walking around the forest twice, there's still a little bit of lady's taste.

But at this moment, Lingqian, although her face is haggard, still looks very beautiful.

"Wake up, then have a good rest." I said with a smile. At the same time, sitting next to her, she shook her head and said, "Thank you, for saving me, but I can't sleep." By the way, is my brother back? ”

I shook my head and said, "Lingyan is still trapped in the Great Ancient Land. ”

Lingqian slowly lowered her head, and after thinking about it, she said: "I don't want to lie to you about some things, but the old immortals of the Ling family have already made a decision, they must let Lingyan step down, and Lingqian will definitely not be able to be the head of the Ling family anymore." Moreover, I am afraid that even if he does not die in the Great Ancient Land and really escapes alive, I am afraid that he will die in the Spirit Family. ”

Lingqian clenched the sheets, and my words seemed to touch the deepest part of her heart.

"But you'll live, and I'll keep you. Let's have a good rest, we'll leave early tomorrow morning......" I finished speaking, turned around and wanted to leave, this awkward atmosphere made me uncomfortable, and I am not a comforting person.

But as soon as he turned around and took two steps, Lingqian suddenly shouted, "What if I beg you to save my brother?" Would you say yes? ”

sighed softly, shook his head and said, "I can't save Lingyan, you think too highly of me, I'm just a pawn in this river and lake......"

But when I turned back, when I saw her face, when I saw those tears walking in the dark, like crystals, the words of refusal stuck in my throat and I didn't know how to say it.

She cried, and I had the impression that Lingqian, who was strong and never admitted defeat, actually cried......
