Vol 2 Chapter 40: The ecstasy of pine nuts

After leaving Loucheng, Liu Hanyan was still worried.
The experience of being captured this time made her truly grow up and realize how sinister the world of practice really is.
Even the most trusted senior brother would betray and flee at the juncture of life and death, completely disregarding the life and death of his fellow junior sister.
If this time it wasn't Tang Zhen, but other ruthless demon cultivators, it would be very difficult for him to save his life.
They will even be tortured, tortured by cramps, tortured and tortured until they die.
She suppressed her anger and couldn't wait to find her master and expose Cangsongzi's despicable behavior.
Liu Hanyan traveled fast all the way, and soon he was far away from the building, and the next step would be to go directly to Huangshan County Government Office.
At that time, she will find a way to communicate with Yunxiao Sect and summon her own spirit crane mount.
In the end, I didn't expect that just after arriving at the Huangshan County Office, I saw the disgusting guy I didn't want to see the most.
Cangsongzi actually went back and forth, staying in Huangshan County, and when he saw Liu Hanyan appearing in front of him, he suddenly showed a shocked and unexpected expression.
But soon he was full of smiles and greeted Liu Hanyan with a very happy gesture.
"Junior sister, how did you come out, and how are the other three now?"
Seeing Cangsongzi's smiling face and showing concern, Liu Hanyan felt extremely disgusted.
I always feel that the big brother in front of him, wearing a fake mask, will show his true face at some point.
"I want to go back to the Tianshi Mansion, I have something to report to the master."
Liu Hanyan's face was cold and she said something to Cangsongzi. Although her heart was full of hatred, she did not intend to vent it.
After seeing Master, it is not too late to tell the truth.
Seeing Liu Hanyan's attitude, Cangsongzi's expression froze, and then he resumed his bright smile.
"Master has something to go back to the Yunxiao Sect, to participate in an emergency meeting, and before leaving, he ordered me to be in charge of all the affairs of the Tianshi Mansion.
If you have something to do with your sister, just tell me directly. "
When Cang Songzi said this, there was a glimmer of pride in his eyes, which was indeed an unexpected joy for him.
At least enough time, you can do many things, try to resolve the unfavorable situation.
Liu Hanyan frowned. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. It seems that there is no chance to find the support of Haoyang Daoist for the time being.
Judging from Cangsongzi's attitude, he knew that he must not report truthfully, and the real person of Haoyang probably didn't know what happened before.
Otherwise, it is impossible to remain indifferent.
Just when Liu Hanyan was secretly annoyed, Cangsongzi suddenly spoke, his tone was full of helplessness and sadness.
"I know Junior Sister, you will definitely be very angry, blaming me for evacuating alone at a critical moment.
I was wrong about this, but I also had a last resort. If I hadn't done that at the time, we would have ended in total annihilation.
At that time, the situation will only get worse, and there is no possibility of even saving oneself.
The situation at that time was urgent, and I had no way of discussing it with you, not to mention that the control was in my hands, and only I could make the quickest response and also the best candidate for evacuation. "
When Cang Songzi said this, he put on a sincere gesture, with a hint of grief in his tone: "Junior sister, think about it for yourself, if I communicated with you at that time and implemented such a plan, would you refuse?"
Liu Hanyan's eyes became colder, and Cangsongzi quietly listened to him explain his behavior.
Cangsongzi's remarks have some truth, and they do underestimate the enemy, but these are not the reasons for him to abandon his companions.
The betrayal's various reasons can highlight the value of loyalty and perseverance, not to mention the previous senior brother who didn't care whether they survived or not.
Based on this alone, Liu Hanyan would not easily forgive.
Thinking of the imprisoned junior brother and junior sister, Liu Hanyan decided to forbear for the time being and rescue them first.
Otherwise, it will make Cangsongzi anxious and make him jump over the wall in a hurry, and it is very likely that he will do more disgusting things.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Liu Hanyan said lightly: "The other party proposes conditions to release the captives, but a certain ransom needs to be paid."
Cang Songzi was stunned when he heard the words, and doubts flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect Tang Zhen to talk so well.
Just wanted to ask, what was the reason, but immediately realized that he couldn't ask.
Gu Hai
No matter what the reason is, as long as people can be rescued, then their own faults can be greatly alleviated.
At that time, if you persuade with good words, you can even let the matter go unsolved, and even the master can hide it.
If so, he will not suffer any punishment.
After thinking about this, Cangsongzi's smile became brighter and brighter, and he knew what he should do at this time.
"Can you tell me what ransom the other party needs, and let me see if I can help?"
When Canglongzi said this, he was actually implying that Liu Hanyan was willing to pay a certain price in exchange for forgiveness.
Liu Hanyan subconsciously wanted to refuse, did not want to accept Cangsongzi's favor, and did not give the other party a chance to please him.
But after thinking about it, I felt that there was no need to hold my breath. It would be better to let Cangsongzi bleed a little, and he would be able to rescue the junior sister and junior brother as soon as possible.
Some things can't be delayed, otherwise, the delay will change, and then there will be no regrets.
"The other party wants five million taels of silver, gold is also acceptable, and the time limit is three days. I wonder if Senior Brother has a solution?"
Liu Hanyan looked at Cangsongzi and asked in a light tone.
She deliberately increased the amount just to make it difficult for Cangsongzi, and at the same time she had another thought.
"Five million taels?"
Hearing this request, Cangsongzi was also surprised. He did not expect that a powerful practitioner would ask for worldly gold and silver as a ransom.
After doubt comes ecstasy. Although five million taels of silver is not a small amount, he can definitely get it with his identity.
I thought it was a problem at first, but now it's a no-brainer.
Cang Songzi's smile grew brighter, and with a proud gesture, he said loudly to Liu Hanyan: "Junior sister, don't worry, I will be responsible for this matter, and I will ensure that the ransom will be collected within a day.
You will rest in the Huangshan County Yarn first. Brother, I will go out first, and I will definitely return at this moment tomorrow. "
When Cang Songzi said this, he immediately turned and left, for fear that Liu Hanyan would go back on it.
This is not to raise the treasures of heaven and earth. There is a huge difficulty. With the identity and connections that Liu Hanyan has, it can also be gathered in a short time.
At the same time, he also knew that Liu Hanyan was giving himself a chance and was unwilling to completely turn his face over this matter.
For Cangsongzi, this is the best news, otherwise he will be very sad in the future when the family of the four junior brothers and sisters makes things difficult for him.
Seeing Cangsongzi riding a crane away, Liu Hanyan's pretty face suddenly froze, but in an instant it returned to calm.
Sitting on the chair, poured a cup of tea, and thought quietly.
"Come on."
After a while, Liu Hanyan suddenly opened his mouth and summoned the obedient servants outside the door.
Soon someone pushed in the door, and it was an official from the Huangshan County Government Office who bowed respectfully to Liu Hanyan.
"What's the current state of Ruixiang Firm in Huangshan County?"
Liu Hanyan looked calm and asked softly.
"Reporting to Immortal Master, Ruixiang Commercial Firm has been controlled, and you are not allowed to enter or leave the firm at will."
The officials were apprehensive, for fear of angering Liu Hanyan, knowing that there is a close relationship between Ruixiang Firm and Loucheng.
Under normal circumstances, the members of Ruixiang Firm should be sent to prison, and may even be beheaded in the street by Jing Cha Si.
The problem is that Tang Zhen issued a warning to name and protect the Ruixiang firm, whoever dared to harm it would be retaliated against.
Neither the Huangshan County Government nor a group of eagle dogs from Jingcha Division dared to disobey Tang Zhen's ban.
In the end, he could only choose to be imprisoned, making Ruixiang Business unable to operate, which is also an account of Tianshifu.
If Tianshifu wants to kill people, they will also execute the order, but the one who takes the blame will become Tianshifu.
As for the pine nuts, they didn't even bother to pay attention to Ruixiang Firm, nor would they deliberately target them because of Tang Zhen's ban.
Liu Hanyan nodded, got up and walked out.
"Lead the way to Ruixiang Commercial Firm."
