Chapter 286 The first attack is stronger, and the second attack suffers
Compared with the desolation and desolation just now, the small courtyard in front of me has been tidied up, but the smell of moss in the air has not dissipated, and the stone steps under my feet are still a little damp.
Xie Beiming is a very smart person, and with just a few glances, he can immediately tell that this small yard has just been tidied up.
A wealthy family like them would deliberately leave some empty rooms as guest rooms. On weekdays, no matter whether there are guests or not, there are servants at home who will clean them regularly. If there are guests staying overnight, you can open the door and move in.
Generally, there is no rush to temporarily clean up the guest rooms and make them available for guests.
Unless there are too many guests staying overnight, the original guest rooms are not enough.
But as far as he knew, he seemed to be the only overnight guest in the Shen family.
Under such circumstances, he had to hurriedly clean up a yard temporarily and use it as a guest room... He couldn't help but think more about it.
However, Xie Beiming didn't ask any more questions, and Qing Luo didn't explain much. She led him directly to a room, opened the door, and said: "Mr. Xie, although this room is just a room,
It’s a wing room, but there is a lotus pond behind the house, you can see it when you open the window.”
He was not allowed to live in the main room, but he was allowed to live in the wing room... Now he had to think more.
Xie Beiming glanced at Qingluo thoughtfully. He walked into the house and opened the window. Sure enough, he saw a lotus pond under the window at the back of the house.
The lotus pond was dug artificially the day after tomorrow. It is not very big. The entire pond is only two or three feet wide. This is the season when the little lotuses are showing their sharp corners.
Xie Beiming's eyes jumped over the pink lotus buds and saw the two strings of small lanterns hanging on the window lattice opposite the lotus pond. He finally understood why Qingluo specially arranged for him to live here.
He turned around and thanked Qingluo who was still standing outside the door: "Thank you very much, Miss Qingluo."
Qingluo clenched the sound-conveying conch in her hand and smiled without saying a word.
…
On the other side, the fifth elder returned to his residence. As soon as the door was closed, his whole body felt as if his bones had been removed. He collapsed limply on the ground, leaning against the wall, breathing heavily.
How terrible!
That little bitch Shen Ning'er actually colluded with the big monster Jiuying!
No wonder that little bitch can bring out so many evil spirits at will!
However, this was not even more terrifying. What was even more terrifying was that he was actually dragged onto the pirate ship by that little bitch without even knowing it!
It is easy to get on the pirate ship, but it is difficult to get off the pirate ship.
Especially now, that little bitch can even hurt his own father, Shen Mingyu, and has obviously lost his humanity. If he gets off the ship at this time, the little bitch will definitely not let him go!
The more the fifth elder thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the cold sweat on his forehead fell like a waterfall.
He threw the things in his hands angrily.
The scroll that was thrown rolled down to the ground and spread out automatically. The person in the painting opened his eyes and looked at the fifth elder coldly.
It was the frontal portrait of Shen Ning'er.
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, the fifth elder suddenly felt as if a poisonous snake was wrapped around his ankle, and a chill instantly swept through his body.
He jumped up in a hurry, quickly rolled up the portrait, and threw it into the corner like a plague.
No, he had to find a way to get off that little bitch Shen Ning'er's thief ship, otherwise he would probably be strangled by hundreds of Xuanmen families before the ship capsized!
As for the fact that he has not yet achieved his goal and failed to take the position of the head of the family... it doesn't matter, his efforts during this period are obvious to all, and the people of Yuzhou can also see it.
He has laid a solid enough foundation for ascending to the position of head of the family.
Even without Shen Ning'er's secret help, he still has the resources to compete for the position of head of the family.
I don't believe that under such circumstances, he, a highly respected clan elder, can't compete with a little yellow-haired girl.
Since he couldn't get off Shen Ning'er's pirate ship, he would take advantage of it and kill the owner of the pirate ship.
Anyway, there is no point in continuing his cooperation with Shen Ning'er.
Having made up his mind, the fifth elder opened the storage bag, took out a small black porcelain bottle from it, pulled out the stopper, then put the index finger of his right hand into it, stirred it with his fingertips, and then put the stopper on the porcelain bottle. Put it back into the storage bag.
The finger that was stirring the small porcelain bottle didn't look strange at all.
However, only the fifth elder knew that his finger had now become extremely poisonous. As long as his fingertip passed through the tea, it would kill the tea drinker immediately.
If you strike first, you will gain the upper hand, but if you strike later, you will suffer disaster. Now is the best time for him and Shen Ning'er to separate from each other.
Besides, it was the little bitch Shen Ning'er who had concealed and deceived him first, tricking him into boarding the pirate ship and forcing him to have no choice. In order to protect himself, he had to kill and silence him. It was not that he crossed the river, demolished the bridge, unloaded the mill and killed the donkey.
The fifth elder looked at his finger that was stained with huge poison, curled his lips with a sneer, and then took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and lit it.
This is the contact information between him and Shen Ning'er.
Shen Ning'er's portrait has been painted now, and it won't be long before Shen Ning'er's portraits will be plastered all over the streets.
He had to kill Shen Ning'er before these portraits were posted. Otherwise, once Shen Ning'er saw those portraits, the little bitch would definitely know that her identity had been exposed and she would definitely be wary of him.
By that time, it will be difficult for him to kill the other party and silence him.
While the fifth elder watched the talisman burning, he quickly adjusted his mind, twitched the corners of his mouth, letting a joyful smile fill his eyes, and then stood up and opened the window.
It took less than a cup of tea to finish burning the talisman paper, when a wisp of black mist drifted in from the open window, and gradually formed a human shape.
It was Shen Ning'er.
She looked carefully at the fifth elder who was beaming with joy.
"The fifth elder is so anxious to call me here, and he looks happy again. It seems that the fifth elder has something big to tell me."
Shen Ning'er's tone was teasing. As she spoke, she walked to the table and sat down. She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"I just wonder if the Fifth Elder has any happy events to share with Ning'er. Ning'er is really looking forward to it."
