509. A Magical Night(1/2)

Poyang City Lord's Mansion.

In the evening that day, Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan had just had dinner, and Han Qianqian came, but they were still here alone.

"Why is Miss Han here? Are you here to find me?" Mu Yan smiled and stood up with a smile.

Han Qianqian entered the door with a wine pot in her hand, with apologized on her face: "I've been too busy recently. I didn't entertain Mrs. Ouyang that day, so I left Mrs. Ouyang alone in the garden. I also met my untrue brother, which scared Mrs. Ouyang. It's really not right. I haven't gone out for the past two days and am busy embroidering wedding dresses. The servants should have beaten me, and I told me about this matter today. I was really sorry, so I came to apologize to Elder Ouyang and Mrs. Ouyang, hoping that you can forgive my fault."

Mu Yan smiled and said, "Actually it's nothing. I almost forgot it. Miss Han doesn't have to take it to heart. When you marry into Jinfang City, we can still be good sisters."

Mu Yan said that although Han Qianqian pretended to be like that, she could not have known that Han Yaozu was going to molest Mu Yan now. She suddenly came over and came alone, and even took a pot of wine in her hand to give it to Xiao Xinghan for drinks. This is very suspicious...

Hearing Mu Yan's words, Han Qianqian lowered her eyes slightly, covering up the slightest disgust in her eyes, because she didn't plan to marry Jinfang City at all. Now she thought she would not marry Ji Yi, because her sweetheart wanted to marry her.

Thinking of this, Han Qianqian looked up and smiled sweetly and said, "I am so happy that Mrs. Ouyang can say this. I am afraid that you will annoy me because of my brother, and will not interact with me anymore."

"How could it be? When Miss Han married into the Ji family, we will be a family." Mu Yan said with a smile.

Han Qianqian smiled, without denying it, and looked at Xiao Xinghan: "Elder Ouyang doesn't say anything, won't he blame me, right?"

"I dare not." Xiao Xinghan said with a faint expression.

Han Qianqian smiled and stepped forward, put the pot of wine in her hand on the table, looked at Xiao Xinghan and said, "Elder Ouyang, this wine was brewed by my grandfather himself. I finally asked for such a little bit. I heard that Elder Ouyang likes to drink, so I should apologize to Elder Ouyang. Elder Ouyang must accept it with a favor. My grandfather's winemaking skills are famous in this Apocalypse Continent."

"I have heard of this." Xiao Xinghan seemed to be very interested in the pot of wine, and reached out and took it over.

Originally there was no wine glass on the table, Mu Yan said, "I'll go get the wine glass for the uncle. Let's drink a glass together. I also want to try the fine wine brewed by the old city master Han himself."

Mu Yan turned around and took two wine glasses from the side. As soon as she put them on the table, Han Qianqian came over and pulled her over: "Mrs. Ouyang, that wine was given to Elder Ouyang. Men drink, so let's not join in the fun. Last time I saw Mrs. Ouyang like flowers and plants, I asked someone to find a cereus that will bloom tonight. It will be inconvenient to bring it over. Mrs. Ouyang goes to my place to enjoy the flowers and tea together. I have other gifts to give to Mrs. Ouyang, okay? If Mrs. Ouyang refuses to go, it is still blaming me."

Mu Yan looked at Xiao Xinghan, and Han Qianqian smiled and said, "Elder Ouyang and Mrs. Ouyang are really loving, but Elder Ouyang is rest assured. After I appreciate the flowers, I will send Mrs. Ouyang back in person. Elder Ouyang will lend me Mrs. Ouyang for a while."

Xiao Xinghan frowned, holding the pot of wine in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, go quickly and get back."

"Don't worry." Han Qianqian smiled, then looked at the wine pot in Xiao Xinghan's hand without any trace, and then pulled Mu Yan out.

The Han family in Poyang City is very wealthy. The city lord's mansion covers a very large area and is luxurious everywhere. There is not even a living yard next to it. Each yard is surrounded by green trees and flowers.

Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan's residence is called Qingfengxuan, and the servants are not here for some reason.

Han Qianqian pulled Mu Yan out of Qingfengxuan and walked around a bush. The handkerchief in Han Qianqian's hand "accidentally" fell at Mu Yan's feet. Mu Yan bent down to pick it up. Han Qianqian's eyes cold, and another handkerchief in her hand was added. She locked Mu Yan's neck from behind and covered Mu Yan's mouth and nose with the other. Mu Yan fell softly into Han Qianqian's arms.

A tall black shadow appeared behind Han Qianqian, only seeing Mu Yan's slender back. A thought flashed in her mind, a sense of familiarity seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she didn't catch it and asked, "Is this Ouyang Jue's woman?" Qi Ningyuan's voice.

"That's right, her name is Xiaohua, she is just a beautiful servant." Han Qianqian looked at Mu Yan with naked contempt.

"According to the original plan, you can send her out of the city. If someone picks her up in the place outside the city, put her down and come back." Qi Ningyuan said.

Han Qianqian glanced at Qi Ningyuan and said, "I want to see if the wine is useful before leaving, for fear that something happens to Ningyuan brother if something happens to something happens to him."

A hint of impatient flashed in Qi Ningyuan's eyes, but Han Qianqian did not see it under the cover of the night. She only heard Qi Ningyuan's voice saying "gentle": "Okay, let her here first, you come with me."

Han Qianqian looked happy and threw Mu Yan on the grass next to her without any gentleness. She looked around and confirmed that there was no one. She followed Qi Ningyuan and quietly returned to Qingfeng Xuan.

Looking at Qi Ningyuan's humble back, Han Qianqian felt very sweet in her heart. Naturally, she couldn't see Mu Yan's eyes open and her eyes were clear.

Lanterns were lit under Qingfengxuan corridor, and the door of the room was half open. Qi Ningyuan raised his hand to signal Han Qianqian to follow him, and Han Qianqian nodded obediently.

Qi Ningyuan looked into the room and saw the wine pot falling on the ground, Xiao Xinghan lying on the table, motionless.

"It seems that it works. He really drank all the wine." Han Qianqian looked happy.

Qi Ningyuan frowned slightly and signaled Han Qianqian to come in.

After Han Qianqian entered the door, she looked out the door, confirmed the door and closed the door.

"Brother Ningyuan, is this what happened after being hit by the puppet Gu? How could he wake up?" Han Qianqian asked Qi Ningyuan.

Qi Ningyuan did not answer Han Qianqian's question, and looked at Xiao Xinghan and shouted: "Ouyang Jue."

Xiao Xinghan's body moved, then slowly raised his head, looked at Qi Ningyuan with a blank look, and shouted: "Master."

"So that's how it is. He has been controlled by Brother Ning Yuan!" Han Qianqian said with a happy face.

Qi Ningyuan looked inexplicably: "It's the first time I've used this, so don't talk first."

"Yes." Han Qianqian nodded, stood behind Qi Ningyuan, looked at "Ouyang Jue" and stood up, walked to Qi Ningyuan, bowed down, and called out "Master" respectfully.

Qi Ningyuan looked very satisfied and looked at Xiao Xinghan and asked, "Did you do the Wei family's affairs?"

"No." Xiao Xinghan replied with his eyes down.

Qi Ningyuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who did that?"

"Wei Zheng won the puppet Gu... Who can use the Gu in the Apocalypse Continent... it is who did it..." Xiao Xinghan said slowly.

When Qi Ningyuan heard this, his heart sank! Who would use Gu in the Apocalypse Continent? Outsiders say that Qi Ningyuan has a master of witchcraft around him, but in fact, those people don’t know that the master of witchcraft around Qi Ningyuan is actually Qi Ningyuan’s grandfather, Chen Ji, the old lord of Shuoxue City!

Qi Ningyuan didn't understand witch skills at all. He once asked Chen Ji to teach him, but Chen Ji refused. The poison that Qi Ningyuan used in those years was given to him by Chen Ji, including this time using Han Qianqian and the puppet Gu that was placed in the pot of wine. It was also the first time Qi Ningyuan used it.

Qi Ningyuan had always believed that the destruction of the Wei family was related to the brothers Ouyang Jue and Ouyang Yu, so this time, he took advantage of the role of the puppet Gu and chose to ask "Ouyang Jue", but the answer of "Ouyang Jue" suddenly made Qi Ningyuan think of another possibility! Could the destruction of the Wei family be Chen Ji's work? The puppet Gu that Wei Zheng had and the "touching sword" boy who later cheated Qi Ningyuan but Qi Ningyuan could not find is probably related to Chen Ji!

Over the years, the Chen family hid behind Qi Ningyuan, and most of the benefits Qi Ningyuan got were given to them, but the trouble and infamy were all Qi Ningyuan himself. If the Wei family's affairs were done secretly by Chen Ji, it was Chen Ji's people who poured dirty water on Qi Ningyuan's body, Chen Ji pretended to say that Qi Ningyuan was incompetent...

Thinking of this, Qi Ningyuan felt cold in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the whole thing was in line with Chen Ji's usual style! He was too stupid before and didn't think about the Chen family at all!

In this way, Qi Ningyuan was not in the mood to ask "Ouyang Jue" about the destruction of the Wei family, because he thought he had guessed it.

Qi Ningyuan didn't care that Han Qianqian was standing next to him, and spoke coldly, looking at Xiao Xinghan and said, "Listen, I want you to go to the top of the ninth-story tower of the Han family, find the Han family's Long Yanhua and treasure map, and then take it out of the city."

Qi Ningyuan told Xiao Xinghan expressionlessly about the details of the Han family's Long Yanhua and the place where the treasure map is located, and even how many people guarded him, how he would avoid those masters, what mechanisms and formations he had, and then told Xiao Xinghan to go to where he could go after he got the treasure, and there was a ship there, asking him to hand it over to the people on the boat, and how long would he return to the city lord's mansion...

Han Qianqian listened, looking a little uneasy. After Qi Ningyuan finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask Qi Ningyuan: "Brother Ningyuan, I don't know where the Han family hides the Dragon Flame Flower and the treasure map. How did you know?"

Qi Ningyuan said with a faint expression: "Didn't I say it? Grandpa Han and my grandfather are old friends, and they tell everything. This is what my grandfather told me, and I knew it a long time ago. If I wanted to steal, I had done it a few years ago and I don't have to wait until today. Your grandfather also knows where our Qi family's treasures are hidden, so you can rest assured."

Han Qianqian was a little surprised: "So that's the case? No wonder, I must believe Brother Ning Yuan."

Qi Ningyuan sneered in his heart. His grandfather Qi Yuan knew nothing about the location of the Han family's Long Yanhua and treasure map, and Qi Yuan did not focus on it.

But there is a saying that Qi Ningyuan did not lie. If he had known it for a long time, he would have found a way to steal the Han family's Long Yanhua and the treasure map. The reason why he did not steal it was not because the elders of the two families believed in each other, but because he only knew about it not long ago.

The puppet Gu used by Qi Ningyuan now and the treasure-treasure land of the Han family were all given to Qi Ningyuan by Chen Ji not long ago.

However, there are some things that Han Qianqian, who was blinded by "love", can't think of so much. She believes whatever Qi Ningyuan said.

"Qianqian, now you go and send Ouyang Jue's woman out of the city and give it to my people, so that they can take good care of it, and then you go back home without doing anything, and don't let people discover that you have been out." Qi Ningyuan said to Han Qianqian with a serious expression.

Han Qianqian nodded: "I understand, I'll go now, Brother Ningyuan, be careful!"

Han Qianqian turned around and went out after a while. When she saw Mu Yan, Mu Yan was still lying there motionless. Han Qianqian pulled Mu Yan up, carried it on her back, and then used her light skills. With the protection of the night and her familiarity with the city lord's mansion, she avoided everyone and took Mu Yan away.

On the other hand, Qi Ningyuan watched Xiao Xinghan follow his instructions and headed to the nine-story tower in the center of the city lord's mansion. A sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, but he was not very happy. Because Xiao Xinghan's words made Qi Ningyuan connect the destruction of the Wei family with Chen Ji. Naturally, he thought that the Wei family's Long Yanhua and treasure map had been given by Chen Ji, and this time, if he succeeded, the Han family's treasures would still have to be handed over to Chen Ji...

Thinking of this, Qi Ningyuan had nothing to be happy about, but he had no other choice. He wanted to turn around, and now was not the right time, so he could only continue to choose to endure.

Although Qi Ningyuan now believes that the fact that he was thrown into dirty water has nothing to do with the Ji family and the Ouyang brothers, his plan will not change, because he came for the Han family's Long Yanhua and treasure map, and he wanted to take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, completely destroying the alliance between Han and Ji families.

An hour later, Xiao Xinghan carried a big burden and quietly left the nine-story tower of the Han family, left the city lord's mansion, and headed out of the Poyang city.

When I arrived at a very remote coast outside the city, a boat was parked there, and there was an old man and Mu Yan who was unconscious.

Xiao Xinghan came over, without saying a word, took off the burden on his back and handed it to the old man, and a hint of joy appeared in the old man's eyes.

The old man put the bag on the boat and looked at Xiao Xinghan's back as he turned around and left. Everything was exactly the same as what his master Qi Ningyuan planned. The old man quickly took out a signal cigarette, lit it, and then released it.

Qi Ningyuan, who was in the lord's mansion of Poyang City, hid on a tall tree and stared in a certain direction. Seeing the signal smoke rising, he knew that things were going well. He smiled slightly, took off the bow and arrow on his back, took out a fire fold, lit the arrow covered with tung oil, turned his body, narrowed his eyes, aimed at the nine-story tower that the Han family worshiped their ancestors not far away, and shot it out!

The fire-burning arrow shot the flag on the tower. The night wind blew, and the master guarding the tower soon noticed. After extinguishing the fire, he immediately went to check the treasure-hiding place at the highest point, but found obvious traces of someone moving!

Han Chao, who was about to go to bed, heard the ancient bell ringing in the nine-story tower, and his expression changed drastically. Before he could even put on his clothes, he rushed out in a hurry!

The entire city lord's mansion was alarmed, and the Ji family also stood up one after another and came towards the direction where the bell rang.

Qi Ningyuan hid not far away and stared at Han Chao's face, Ji Hongyu looked inexplicably, and there were more and more people around the tower.

Han Qianqian also came with the people, not conspicuous among the crowd. The old city lord Han who was in seclusion recently still did not show up.

"My Lord, my subordinates are incompetent. Long Yanhua and the treasure map have been stolen!" Several old men guarding the tower knelt in front of Han Chao, with their bodies low.

Han Chao was extremely angry and stepped forward and kicked him hard: "Damn it! You trash!"

"Mr. Lord, the most important thing is to block the entire city and find out the treasure robberies!" Han Lie, the eldest elder of the Han family, said, and looked at the Ji family with some intent, "We have always been peaceful in Poyang City. Recently, when outsiders come, they..."

Ji Hongyu's face darkened: "What does Elder Han mean? This city lord came to give the betrothal gift sincerely, and he didn't know that the treasure of the Han family was hidden here! If the Ji family stole it, would this city lord stay here and listen to the slander of Elder Han?"

Han Lie glanced around and snorted softly, "Everyone is here, why don't you see the elder Ouyang of your Ji family?"

Han Chao's eyes shrank slightly, and his doubtful eyes turned to Ji Hongyu.

Ji Hongyu was here to join in the fun, so he naturally would not call everyone from the Ji family. It was only then that he realized that everyone was coming that "Ouyang Jue" and his wife were nowhere to be seen.

Ji Hongyu had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't show his face and said calmly: "The incident happened suddenly. Elder Ouyang has never liked to meddle in other people's business. Now he has just married a beautiful wife. The matter has nothing to do with him. It is normal for him not to come. If this is the evidence, then Elder Han would be too suspicious."

While Han Chao ordered his subordinates to block the entire city, he began to search, and ordered that everyone present not be allowed to leave. His eyes looked at Ji Hongyu without any politeness as before: "Lord Ji, send someone to invite Elder Ouyang over to make him clear!"

Ji Hongyu looked bad, but he didn't refute. He used his eyes to signal Ji Yi to personally find both "Ouyang Jue" and his wife.

When Ji Yi was about to leave, Han Chao called an elder of the Han family to follow him. Ji Hongyu was dissatisfied, but he chose to endure for the time being. He did not think that "Ouyang Jue" would be related to the disappearance of the Han family's treasure.

The city lord's mansion has begun to search, and searches have also begun to be carried out in various parts of the city, and Ji Yi and the elder of the Han family will soon return.

Ji Yi's face looked extremely ugly. The elder of the Han family shouted: "Master Lord, Elder Ouyang of the Ji family is not in Qingfengxuan at all. I don't know where he went! Even Mrs. Ouyang is gone!"

Ji Hongyu's expression froze, Ji Yi whispered in his ear with an ugly expression.
