Not long after Qin Nan left, Qin Nan couldn't put it down and put the animal skin map into his arms, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Someone's coming!"
Ximenyu sat on the big mahogany chair and regained the aura of a superior man.
Immediately, a maid opened the door, came to Ximenyu, and said respectfully: "Young Master!"
Ximenyu ordered: "Go and summon Zhu Shaoyang and Meng Ying."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the maid immediately bowed and retreated. Within a moment, Zhu Shaoyang and Meng Ying entered the study and closed the door.
Ximenyu looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Sit down!"
Zhu Shaoyang and Meng Ying bowed their hands to Ximen Yu and sat down respectively.
Ximenyu smiled and said, "Do you two know why I invited you here?"
Zhu Shaoyang spoke first: "Looking at the look on the young master's face, it must be Mr. Sun and the others who have returned from completing their mission!"
Ximen Yu laughed when he heard this and said: "You said it wrong this time, Mr. Sun and the others are all dead!"
"What?"
Zhu Shaoyang and Meng Ying immediately stood up, their faces looking very ugly.
Ximenyu waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to sit down, and said with a smile: "But Qin Nan is back, and all the enemy spies have been killed!"
When the two heard that the enemy's spy had been killed, their expressions softened. When they heard that Qin Nan had come back, Zhu Shaoyang couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Young Master, what is going on? Qin Nan is only in the realm of true energy.
Mr. Sun is in trouble, how can he come back?"
Meng Ying also had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this.
Ximenyu smiled slightly and repeated Qin Nan's words, but Zhu Shaoyang frowned and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."
Ximenyu smiled and said: "Whether it is true or false, it is no longer important. I asked you two to come here this time because I hope you..."
Ximenyu said, making a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhu Shaoyang and Meng Ying couldn't help being shocked, and said in unison: "Young Master plans to kill him? But he is so young and has such a high talent. Wouldn't it be a pity if he killed him?"
Ximenyu smiled and said: "There are too many uncertain factors in this person, and he may become our enemy in the future, so he must be killed!"
In fact, Ximenyu's words were just an excuse. The reason why he really wanted to kill Qin Nan was because in the world, apart from himself, only Qin Nan knew that the map was in his hands. To be on the safe side, he
Only kill and silence.
Meng Ying couldn't help but frown when he heard this, but he knew that there was no way to change the decision made by Young Master Ximen. Thinking of Qin Nan's talent, Meng Ying couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.
When Zhu Shaoyang heard the words, he pondered slightly and said: "If you want to do it, you have to do it cleanly, otherwise it might not be good if it gets spread."
Ximen Yu smiled when he heard this and said, "I wonder what Shaoyang has to say?"
Zhu Shaoyang chuckled and said: "This is easy. Brother Meng Ying and I only need to pretend to congratulate each other, then add drugs to the wine, stun him and then kill him. He will have no power to resist. We will take care of the funeral."
You can also handle it slowly."
Meng Ying heard this and said coldly: "I, Meng Ying, don't do this kind of thing."
Ximen Yu smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "I know Meng Ying's temperament. I will leave this matter to you, Shaoyang. If you do well, I will reward you greatly!"
Meng Ying has been following Ximen Yu for more than ten years. Ximen Yu also knew that Meng Ying would not do this because of his personality, so he didn't care.
"Thank you, young master!"
Zhu Shaoyang couldn't help but be happy when he heard this.
Ximenyu smiled and said: "But your method is a little inappropriate. It's good to drug him, but you don't need to kill him. You can just set fire to the building after he is unconscious. Then you will say that Qin Nan has made great achievements and is too proud. He beat him after he was drunk.
Turn over the oil lamp, and then we can express our condolences to each other. This way we can also demonstrate my young master’s love and talent.”
When Zhu Shaoyang heard this, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "High! It's really high!"
※※
At night, there was a chill in the house, and Qin Nan couldn't help but cough.
At this time, Zi'er picked up a coat and put it on Qin Nan's body, saying softly: "It's cold, wear more clothes."
"Hahahaha! Brother Qin Nan, you didn't even come to see me, Zhu Shaoyang, for a drink when you came back. It's really not fun!"
At this time, a crisp laughter came from downstairs.
Qin Nan smiled slightly and said: "It turns out to be Brother Shaoyang, Zi'er, hurry up and open the door."
Zi'er walked downstairs and opened the door. Within a moment, she saw Zhu Shaoyang walking upstairs, holding a pot of wine in his hand.
Zhu Shaoyang smiled and said: "Brother Qin Nan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you look better. That's right, people are in high spirits when happy events happen. You have made great achievements this time, and you will be promoted to a noble rank soon."
Qin Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Brother Shaoyang, please stop teasing me. Come on, please sit down!"
Zhu Shaoyang was not polite. He sat down and said with a smile: "Look, I learned that you are coming back today, so I specially brought out the good wine that I have collected for many years. We must not get drunk tonight."
Hearing this, Qin Nan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Shaoyang, aren't you hurting me? You know I don't know how to drink!"
A strange look flashed in Zhu Shaoyang's eyes, and he laughed and said: "What hero doesn't love wine? This is my wish. Brother Qin Nan can't live up to my good wishes!"
When Qin Nan heard this, he could only smile bitterly and said: "It turns out that this is the case. I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman."
Zhu Shaoyang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Haha, that's right!"
"Brother Qin, you are still injured, so you must not drink alcohol."
At this time, Zi'er reminded me of birth.
Zhu Shaoyang looked at Zi'er, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
However, Qin Nan did not notice this scene. Qin Nan smiled at Zi'er and said: "Zi'er, you can rest assured. My injury has almost recovered. Brother Shaoyang came to congratulate me in person. How can I
It can satisfy his good intentions."
Zhu Shaoyang laughed when he heard this and said: "Yes, as a man, you have to eat a big bowl of meat and drink a lot of wine. Oh, by the way, when it comes to eating meat, how can there be no meat without wine? I happen to have some mink meat over there, so I just
It's a pity that I forgot to take it. Zi'er, go to my place and ask my maid for some. Qin Nan and I will eat meat and drink tonight until we get drunk."
Upon seeing this, Zi'er looked at Qin Nan's face and saw that Qin Nan didn't object, so she walked helplessly downstairs.
After Zi'er left, Zhu Shaoyang snorted in his heart and thought to himself: "Finally got rid of this troublesome little girl. Let's see how I deal with you after I send Qin Nan back to the west."
Zhu Shaoyang poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Qin Nan, drank another glass himself, and said, "Come, taste my wine first and see how it tastes?"
Seeing Zhu Shaoyang's hospitality, Qin Nan couldn't put it off. He immediately took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
