In front of the desk, Xiao Yuanche was sitting there alone, wearing a big cloak.
What was very unusual was that there was no one else in the study except himself.
Even Wei Changan, who was always by his side, was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
His hands were being heated on a charcoal stove, and between his hands, the flames flickered out.
His face was also reflected in flickering lights.
Xiao Yuanche's face was expressionless and his brows were slightly furrowed.
The dim light illuminated his face in a strange way.
Half of his body was shrouded in darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
It was completely silent, and there was no sound at all in Sikong Mansion.
It's so quiet that it feels a little depressing.
Suddenly, faint footsteps came from the dark courtyard.
"Bah bang—" Someone knocked gently on the study door knocker.
Xiao Yuanche didn't look surprised, as if he was waiting for this person to visit in the dark night.
"Come in..."
Xiao Yuanche's voice was low.
The door was gently pushed open, and a tall figure slowly walked in.
The man searched for a long time in the dim light and found Xiao Yuanche sitting alone behind the desk, just about to salute.
Xiao Yuanche waved his hand and said: "Sit down..."
"yes......"
The man responded in a low voice, and then sat down gently opposite Xiao Yuanche, seeming to keep a reasonable distance.
"Is the matter over?" Xiao Yuanche's voice was as smooth as ever.
"Yes...it's all done..."
The man replied respectfully.
"Dead?"
"Even the gods can't save him if he's dead." The man nodded and said firmly.
Xiao Yuanche clapped his hands, straightened up, and seemed to think for a while.
"How is Su Ling?" Xiao Yuanche asked suddenly.
"I injured my right shoulder, but I think it's not a big deal." The man said respectfully.
"You did a good job. You didn't kill everyone like before. I'm very satisfied!" Xiao Yuanche had a hint of praise in his eyes.
"Where's Boning?" Xiao Yuanche asked again.
"He's injured quite a bit. I'm afraid he'll have to stay in bed for a while." The man replied.
"He has been quite careless in doing things recently, so let's give him a lesson he deserves!" Xiao Yuanche said slowly.
"How many more elites are there in the Shadow Division?" Xiao Yuanche asked again calmly.
"Less than ten..."
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, there was a trace of regret in his eyes, and he suddenly sighed and said: "After all, they are also the people left by Mingshu. Who knows if I will be able to touch them after a long time, that's all, I will die if I die."
...This can be considered as eliminating a hidden danger for you and your brothers."
Hearing this, the man suddenly stood up, knelt down, and bowed down: "My father worked so hard for my child, and the child burst into tears with gratitude..."
The light flickered a few times for some unknown reason, and suddenly the room lit up.
The person's facial features instantly became clear, and then when the light dimmed, the person's facial features became a little unclear again.
But it's enough, a little light will make things clear.
Here comes Xiao Jianshu.
Xiao Yuanche looked calm and said slowly: "In the daytime, Boning came to retaliate and made a plan with Su Ling to lure the snake out of the hole. I thought of this way to use the plan. One way to weaken the foundation of the Purple Clothes Sect to prevent it from being too big in the future, and the other thing to end it.
As for the final influence of Shadow Division Xiao Mingshu, it seems that you did a pretty good job."
Xiao Jianshu said hurriedly: "Children don't dare to be greedy for merit. This is all based on father's plan!"
"Where is Yan Wugui?" Xiao Yuanche asked again.
"If you run away after being seriously injured, you must have fallen from the peak of the ninth grade to the beginning of the ninth grade..." Xiao Jianshu said in a low voice.
"Very good, Ling Yijian's whereabouts are unknown. Originally I thought Yan Wugui had no one to restrain him, but now that his vitality is severely damaged, I guess he won't be able to make a big splash." Xiao Yuanche nodded.
"Father, Su Ling/is so sharp that he actually followed the clues and found out the caves and secret passages. He even extended his hand into the water transportation... I have to be on guard!" Xiao Jianshu finished in a low voice,
Secretly observe Xiao Yuanche's expression.
A burning look suddenly appeared in Xiao Yuanche's eyes. After a while, his expression calmed down. He waved his hand and said: "If the hole is gone, look for it again. The secret passage is blocked. Just dig it out again. Tell that person that the plan will proceed as usual..."
As for Su Ling, I'm afraid I can't find anything based on the trivial clues in his hands, but I also want to try to see how much talent he has..."
Xiao Yuanche suddenly said in a slightly louder voice: "What he can find is because I let him find out. What I don't let him find out, he can't find out no matter what!"
"My father's imperial skills are much more immature than my son's!" Xiao Jianshu sighed in his heart, his father still didn't want to attack Su Ling!
Alas, I, the upright and actual eldest son, can't compare to a...
Just bear with it, Mr. Wen said, there is always a chance.
"Tan Jing didn't do anything, right?" Xiao Yuanche looked up at Xiao Jian and said shu.
"No, it's just the right time for Yan Wu to return. If he were a step later, he would..."
Xiao Yuanche waved his hand and said: "Things in water transport cannot be made public, otherwise the Xiao family will no longer have a foothold in Kyoto. Tan Jing has been working hard for so many years, and his contribution to the progress of our army is also due to him...
..”
Xiao Jianshu was a little confused and tried: "Father means to be kind to..."
Xiao Yuanche's voice dropped and he said, "Who else is there in his family?"
"One wife and one concubine, two sons, the eldest son is seventeen, and the second son is still young." Xiao Jianshu said hurriedly.
"Well...since he has made a lot of contributions to the Xiao family and done a lot of things, we can't let him be alone on the Huangquan Road. Let his whole family stay together..."
Just when Xiao Jianshu was about to speak, Xiao Yuanche said again: "No, let's keep his eldest son and be a personal attendant under your general's account. Remember to show kindness!"
When Xiao Jianshu heard this, his heart trembled and he whispered: "I understand..."
"What do you plan to do?" Xiao Yuanche asked.
"The henchman in my tent dressed up as a killer and massacred his family..." Xiao Jianshu said without thinking.
"Stupid! He's just a small water transport envoy. Why make such a fuss? You guys are so careless and murderous that they won't alert the punishment office. If anything is found out then, wouldn't it be an extraneous matter?" Xiao Yuanche said angrily.
"My child is stupid, please tell me father!" Xiao Jianshu hurriedly lowered his head and whispered.
"The weather has been good recently, it's sunny all the time, the snow has melted long ago, and the sky is dry..." Xiao Yuanche said word by word.
"My child understands!..."
"Who do you plan to replace Tan Jing?" Xiao Yuanche suddenly asked again.
"There are...there are two deputy chief ministers. They have also contributed a lot and are considered cautious and loyal..." Xiao Jianshu answered cautiously.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanche's face was full of disdain and he said lightly: "Are you kidding me?" He actually started to sneer.
"My child..." Xiao Jian sighed with relief.
"Do you think that Su Ling is really capable of this? Since he found Tan Jing, couldn't he find those two people?" Xiao Yuanche became even more angry and stared at Xiao Jianshu with burning eyes.
Xiao Jianshu's body trembled, and he quickly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said: "My child..."
"You, you, you don't have any serious plans at all, you just think of some shady things like killing people and stealing goods..." Xiao Yuanche said angrily.
"Find an excuse to send these two and their families to Banan. Bandits are rampant along the way..." Xiao Yuanche said with a straight face.
"Yes...Father made a prompt decision..." Xiao Jianshu just wanted to say a few words of flattery.
"Choose three successors from your army, take over their wives and children, and keep them under the care of the Xiao family. You can't do anything to chill their hearts, right?" Xiao Yuanche said calmly.
"My child obeys your orders," Xiao Jianshu said hurriedly.
"How many batches of goods are left?" Xiao Yuanche stared at Xiao Jianshu and asked again.
"There are two more batches..."
"Do we need so many? These four batches can already shake the world, right?" Xiao Yuanche's eyes moved, and he kept thinking.
"My child also asked about it, and the answer there was that these are unrefined raw materials, refined things, which cause a lot of losses, and some of them are so damp that they can't be used, so..." Xiao
Jianshu answered cautiously.
"That's all... the last batch should not go on the tea cargo ship, go your way..." Xiao Yuanche waved his hand, thought for a while and then said: "You have to give those things
I have carefully counted it, and there can be no mistakes. If there is a mistake, it will be a huge disaster! You understand!"
Xiao Jianshu trembled all over and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "I understand!"
Xiao Yuanche nodded and suddenly said with burning eyes: "Niao Niao, do you know?..."
Xiao Jianshu's face suddenly turned pale and he said incoherently: "Father, Niao Niao is just afraid that the child will not think well, so I am here to help...Father...!"
Xiao Yuanche waved his hands, then sighed and said: "I didn't say anything, just know it if she knows it, but you have to understand that no matter what, you can't let her know what she shouldn't know...
.Niao Niao is from the Dugu family and is my chosen daughter-in-law. I am still satisfied."
Xiao Jianshu then wiped the hot sweat that had flowed to his cheeks, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "My child, thank you father! Thank you father!"
Xiao Yuanche nodded, and then said earnestly: "Jianshu'er, by doing this, I have tried my best to pave the way for you brothers. When the time comes, no matter you, Sishu or Cangshu, brothers must work together! The so-called brothers work together,
Its sharpness can cut through metal! Do you understand? If one day, one of you is the first to dare to fight against each other, don't blame me for not caring about the love between father and son!"
Xiao Jian Shu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "My child doesn't dare, and he won't do it either!"
"I hope you agree with me!"
Xiao Yuanche waved his hand and said: "Step back, I'm tired..."
Xiao Jianshu then bowed, stood up, and turned to leave.
"By the way, those pills are pretty good. I'm running out of them. It's inconvenient for me to go there all the time. Find some for me when you have time!" Xiao Yuanche said calmly.
Xiao Jianshu did not look back, but whispered: "My child will go in the next two days..."
After saying that, he turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
The pale moonlight shone on Xiao Jianshu's body, casting a long reflection.
A cold smile slowly appeared on his face.
The study was completely dark, with no light at all.
Xiao Yuanche stood up and walked slowly towards the endless darkness.
In an instant, his body merged with the darkness and was no longer distinguishable.
