C273 uncontrollable variable
A pigeon lightly landed in the yard. As soon as it landed on the ground, it shook its head and began strolling leisurely. It had its head and chest held high as it leisurely strolled around the yard. It looked very comical and cute.
"Wow, there's a little pigeon! I'm going to catch it!" A cute little girl threw down the brush in her hand and ran into the yard while jumping and jumping. The little pigeon was so scared that it twisted its butt and ran wildly.
It was obviously impossible for him to rely on his two legs to be able to run past people. He saw the little girl jogging as if she was an eagle catching a chick, quickly catching the pigeon and playing with it in the palm of her hand.
The little pigeon was still struggling with all its might, but it was to no avail. After struggling for a while, it had no effect. It could only shrink its neck helplessly as it resigned itself to its fate and let the little girl tease it.
"Lan Er, stop playing!" A voice came from inside the room. The voice was young and tender, but it always carried the dignity of an adult. Such a discordant side made people feel surprised. At the same time, it also made people feel somewhat astonished.
"Oh, got it, Young Master, it's coming!" The girl answered with a neck tug and then continued teasing the helpless pigeon. The pigeon kept wriggling its head, trying its best to avoid the little girl. It knew how much it disliked the little girl in front of it!
After teasing the pigeon for a while, the little girl reluctantly took out the bamboo tube that was tied to the pigeon's leg. After that, she let the pigeon fly away and walked into the house with the tube in her hand.
"Here, young master!" The girl called Lan Er passed a bamboo tube over to her, then returned to the table and continued writing.
The young master sat on the wheelchair and didn't immediately open the tube. Instead, he carefully examined the outside of the tube and found that there were no signs of people opening it. Then, he carefully opened the tube and took out the slip of paper.
There were only a few words on the slip of paper, and a few dozen words were written on it. Each of the words was not much bigger than a grain of rice, and were arranged neatly on the narrow strip of paper.
After reading the letter, that young master no longer had that carefree expression he had before. Instead, he became even more solemn. With a frown, he tapped his fingers against the armrest of the wheelchair. His other hand was against his cheek, pretending to be deep in thought.
"Is this a thorny matter?" The other girl opened her mouth to speak. Previously, she had been minding her own business and reading a book. Seeing the young master's expression, she also put down her book and asked in confusion.
The one who spoke was Leng Nuohan, and the young master seated on the wheelchair was Gongsun Zaitian.
"Yes, things are a bit troublesome. There's an urgent message from the north side. The information was not delivered to Qiong Yu and was directly delivered to me!" Gongsun Zaitian answered.
"What happened?" Leng Nuohan stood up and slowly walked over to Gongsun Zaitian's side as she asked with a face full of concern.
"The silver has been taken away!" Lu Baihuan's whereabouts are unknown, so other than a few people who were captured, the rest of the Blood Illusion Valley's disciples will be buried alive! " Gongsun Ztian lightly narrated.
"Who took the silver? Your people? " Leng Nuohan puzzledly asked.
"I don't know. When my men rushed there, they only knew that a few of the guards in the mansion had lost their men and that the place where they kept their money was empty. But strangely, there was no trace of silver being taken away." Gongsun Ztian continued to speak in an indifferent tone, while his tone of voice carried a hint of excitement.
"Did the people from the manor go to find money?" Leng Nuohan had already guessed it. If she wanted to know about the hidden forces in the north of the King Realm, she could only follow these people to the north and find their true strength. Only then would she be able to eliminate all of them.
However, this incident was complicated and confusing. If these people from the Palace of Hua-Yang wanted to find money, then this matter would drag on for many years. Of course, this also meant that Gongsun Ze Tian's plan had failed.
"Why do you think there's such a bunch of shit-stirring sticks?" "Don't bite me, it's just something to bite me." Leng Nuohan could not help but think this in her heart.
"No, according to the intelligence, they are escorting Lu Baihuan's wife all the way north. They are probably planning to meet up with the forces in the north!" Gongsun Ztian shook his head and said with a smile.
"Didn't they say that a few disciples of the Blood Illusion Valley were captured? Why did you only take one person with you? " It seemed like the situation had not gone too far and it was still under his control. But then, Leng Nuohan continued to ask in a puzzled tone.
"The rest of them were tortured to death by that special envoy. Their deaths were miserable, not a single one died a good death!" Gongsun Ztian's expression changed slightly as he explained.
"Then why only leave Lu Baihuan's wife? As a hostage? " Leng Nuohan was confused again. Since the others had all been killed, why did she leave only one woman behind? To prove it? Whether it was a brawl between the martial arts world, or a war of attrition in the imperial court, the credibility of a woman's testimony was high. Even if what she said was the truth, it was still related to the survival of several great powers.
"No, her fate will be even worse." As if he had seen through everything in the world, Gongsun Ze Tian slowly shook his head as he calmly replied.
After hearing this, the girl became silent. She knew the tragic result of a woman falling into the enemy camp, not to mention a rather pretty woman. This kind of thing happened quite often in her ten thousand years of reincarnation. She had even seen with her own eyes the beginning and the end of a similar thing, and the miserable ending of that woman, it was truly shocking. Even though she was saved by him in the current world, in the end, he still couldn't let her escape death.
"Will this affect your plans?" Leng Nuohan didn't want to continue this topic. Although she didn't hate Lu Baihuan's wife at all, she definitely didn't like her either, there was no need to keep her life in her heart. This was the karmic retribution of the world.
"I will. Although I have considered many possibilities, this uncontrollable change is really unexpected. It seems that the plan has to be adjusted!" "And this matter..." Gongsun Zaitian nodded and after pondering for a moment, he said.
"You suspect...?" Leng Nuohan immediately understood and asked.
"That's right. Ever since the battle outside the city, I suspect that some new force has quietly participated in this incident. Judging from this incident, it's even more a confirmation of my deduction!" Gongsun Ze Tian nodded his head and explained to Leng Nuohan.
"So our next target is this mysterious power?" Leng Nuohan asked suspiciously.
"No need. Although I am not sure what exactly they want to do, his appearance can be considered as helping me to a certain extent. Let's not bother about them for now. Our focus is still the force hidden in the north. We must completely eradicate them this time!" Gongsun Ztian smiled and said confidently.
"It seems like you are going to use me as a weapon!" When Leng Nuohan heard Gongsun Zaitian's words, she immediately thought of one possibility. She then shook her head helplessly and said unhappily with her little mouth pouted.
"Thank you Madam! I'll leave Mother's side to you!" Gongsun Ze Tian slightly bowed from his wheelchair and said to Leng Nuohan with a smile.
With his current state of loss of blood, if he wanted to follow his mother north, it would probably be difficult for him to pass that stage, not to mention his father and Third Uncle. The one who broke through was this little girl, Leng Nuohan, as long as she took part, Gongsun Ze Tian would be confident that she could persuade his mother and take care of both his father and Third Uncle.
"But are you really ready?" You don't mean to say that you want to head north in a wheelchair? " Leng Nuohan asked with concern.
"It's fine, just find a few people to carry me!" I'm not sinking! " Gongsun Zaitian patted his body and said.
"Bah!" Leng Nuohan reprimanded her, then turned and walked out of the room.

The current Lu Baihuan was like a stray dog, his hair and face were dishevelled, and his clothes were tattered. Actually, this was not his fault. Ever since he had started running, people would suddenly sneak up on him from behind. Judging from his clothes and the weapons he used, he was the one escorting the silver taels. These people were unwilling to forgive him. They had the intention of killing him. Not only were they pursuing him relentlessly, they were even hindering him, causing him to suffer unspeakably.
Honestly speaking, this Lu Baihuan was really unlucky. Originally, he had come here to rob someone, but now, he had turned into a beggar, and the current situation was absolutely realistic. His own wife was also captured, and the people he brought out were all taken care of by him. He was the only one left. The fleeing string that was everywhere in the mountains and fields seemed to have been wronged to the extreme.
Carrying grievances in his heart and with tears of humiliation, Lu Baihuan continued his journey to escape. He had no choice but to flee, the pursuers had caught up again. For the past few days, in order to escape, he had been running around drinking water and eating, and even had to find a secret place at night. He did not dare to sleep, fearing that he would be able to chop down the steel knife from nowhere.
If this continued, Lu Baihuan would really collapse, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night, he wouldn't be able to eat, and he would have to experience many life and death situations. In the next few days, Lu Baihuan would be extremely skinny, his face would be sallow, and his entire body would be reeking of stench.
In the end, Lu Baihuan decided to return to the Blood Illusion Valley since he really couldn't endure this kind of torture. If he didn't go, he would really die in the mountain.
Actually, Lu Baihuan had not wanted to return at all. Firstly, he had acted rashly, and even exposed his identity, so returning to the Blood Illusion Valley would probably not be much better off, and secondly, the disciples he brought along, and even his own wife, had all been killed on the outside. If he were to return, not to mention that his wife's lovers would tear him apart, even the deaths of those disciples would not be something he could wipe out with his mouth.
However, compared to the situation he was in right now, Lu Baihuan would rather return to receive his punishment. If he went back, he might even be able to escape, but under this group of pursuers who were lingering like ghosts, forget about escaping, even if he wanted to stop and rest, he couldn't.
After making up his mind, Lu Baihuan changed his direction and sprinted towards the Blood Illusion Valley's base camp. It was strange, since he changed his direction and headed towards the Blood Illusion Valley's base, the number of attacks had decreased by a lot.
As a result, Lu Baihuan's heart started to calm down. In his mind, the other party was afraid of the Blood Illusion Valley's strength, and did not dare to easily stroke his beard, which was why he had reduced his attack. However, he did not think of the other thing. These attacks seemed to be forcing him to head towards the direction of the Blood Illusion Valley's base camp. Forget about Lu Baihuan, even if he could understand this point, he would not know the specific reason.
