Chapter 1337: Happy Cooperation

Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiaoxiao received a reply from the golden eagle that Xie Jinnian had asked him to bring back. Although there was only one sentence on it, it finally made Su Xiaoxiao feel relieved.

Tonight’s transaction was too risky for Xie Jinnian.

She had to take out enough chips to shake the scale in Xie Jinnian’s heart.

Xie Jinnian asked her what deal she wanted on the paper. Su Xiaoxiao chose the latter between testing him and directly laying her cards on the table.

Firstly, there was not much point in probing. Someone as smart as Xie Jinnian had probably guessed what was going on, and the reason why he asked this was completely to express his stance.

Secondly and more importantly, time was running out.

Su Xiaoxiao told her about Xiahou Zheng deliberately letting Yuwen Xi and Yuwen Huai go and using this to frame the Hundred Flowers Palace.

There was nothing to hide.

Ling Yun had been to the City Lord Manor during the day. If Xiahou Zheng knew, so did Xie Jinnian.

Ling Yun had a personal relationship with the two Western Jin princes. The Hundred Flowers Palace would definitely protect the two of them.

“Benefits?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the second reply brought back by the golden eagle and the corners of her mouth twitched. “It’s really concise.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t bargain with Xie Jinnian. Instead, she took out her greatest sincerity and wrote, “The fourth dragon crystal.”

Xie Jinnian sat in front of the window and looked at the bold words on the paper. He gently held the blue parrot in his arms and said meaningfully,

“So the fourth dragon crystal is in your master’s hand.”

Wuhu, who had been forced to become a bird hostage, drooped its head soullessly. “Ji.”

Xie Jinnian smiled. “How generous. It’s… impossible to refuse.”

–

At the foot of the mountain.

Xiahou Zheng and the people from the Hundred Flowers Palace had been confronting each other for more than two hours. It was not that he had not tried hard during this period, but Wei Xu was too stubborn.

In addition, more than a hundred disciples from the Hundred Flowers Palace had come. The two sides were evenly matched. It was unknown who would win or lose.

Calculating the time, the reinforcements he had brought should be arriving soon.

At that time, if the Hundred Flowers Palace dared to stop him again, it would not be making things difficult for him, Xiahou Zheng, but openly disobeying the City Lord’s order. Even if his adoptive father did not punish Ling Yun, he would punish the others of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

For example, Yun Shuang.

A trace of pleasure flashed across Xiahou Zheng’s eyes.

Wei Liulang, who had disguised himself and mixed in the crowd, whispered to Ghostfear, “Brother, I think he needs a beating. Why didn’t you kill him in the Western Jin?”

Ghostfear said, “Do you think I don’t want to kill him?”

Xiahou Zheng was protected by very powerful experts. Xiahou Zheng’s martial arts were not weak either. He had tried to assassinate him several times, but he was stopped by those experts.

However, those people did not seem to be at the scene tonight.

As they spoke, someone from the City Lord Manor came again.

A confident smile gradually appeared on Xiahou Zheng’s face.

It was Elder Liu and Elder Li.

“Elders.”

Xiahou Zheng got off the horse and greeted them politely.

The two elders said at the same time, “Eldest Young Master.”

“Brother.”

Xie Jinnian walked out from behind the two elders.

Xiahou Zheng was slightly stunned. “Why are you here?”

Xie Jinnian smiled and said, “Ah, Foster Father asked me to come with the two elders.”

Was Second trying to snatch credit from him?

Xiahou Zheng said with a fake smile, “It’s good that you’re here. The Hundred Flowers Palace stopped us from searching. Why don’t Second Brother negotiate?”

“I’d like that.”

Xie Jinnian agreed readily and walked to Wei Xu and Ling Yun. He greeted them amiably, “Hero Duanmu, Young Palace Lord Yun, we’re here tonight under the City Lord’s orders to search for the assassin. We don’t mean to suspect the Hundred Flowers Palace. If we find out that the Hundred Flowers Palace is innocent in the end, the City Lord will definitely punish the person who spread the rumors! This is Father’s handwritten letter. Please take a look.”

He handed the two of them a search warrant with the City Lord’s seal. The search warrant was mixed with a few notes from Su Xiaoxiao.

Wei Xu and Ling Yun understood at a glance.

Wei Xu put the notes back into his pocket without a trace and returned the search warrant to Xie Jinnian. He said in a tone,

“That’s more like it. You don’t even have a search warrant, yet you still want to search the Hundred Flowers Palace!”

Xiahou Zheng’s expression darkened.

He was the eldest son of the City Lord Manor. He had never needed a search warrant to search the island.

Wei Xu said righteously, “Our Hundred Flowers Palace is not unreasonable. Elders, Second Young Master, please!”

Xiahou Zheng’s eyes were cold.

Xie Jinnian also brought his own people over.

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “See, I didn’t lie to you, right?”

This time, it was searched under the witness of the two elders. It was impossible for it to be fake.

Xiahou Zheng left suspiciously.

Next, they searched the Towering Palace. In order to reassure Xiahou Zheng, the Palace Lord took the initiative to ask the two elders and two young masters to bring people in to search.

In the end, there was nothing.

Xiahou Zheng did not believe it and led his men to search the entire Hundred Flowers Palace again.

They searched until dawn, but they could not find Yuwen Huai and Yuwen Xi.

Su Xiaoxiao yawned and said, “Eldest Young Master, you’re about to turn the Hundred Flowers Palace upside down. If you’re not sleepy, our Hundred Flowers Palace disciples have been tortured by you. Why don’t you continue searching? We’ll go to sleep first.”

Xiahou Zheng looked coldly at the coachman.

The coachman said, “Eldest Young Master! I really… saw them come to the Hundred Flowers Palace with my own eyes!”

He almost let it slip!

Could they be hidden in the mountains?

The moment Xiahou Zheng came back, he sealed the entire mountain and did not let out a single fly.

He left half of his men to search the mountain, but they still found nothing.

This was impossible!

His people would not betray him!

Yuwen Xi and Yuwen Huai had clearly escaped into the Hundred Flowers Palace.

But why couldn’t he find them?

Where were they hiding?

Could it be that the Hundred Flowers Palace had killed them to silence them and destroyed their corpses?

The Palace Lord said coldly, “Eldest Young Master, at this point, shouldn’t you give the Hundred Flowers Palace an explanation?”

Xiahou Zheng clenched his fists.

The coachman’s heart trembled. “Eldest Young Master…”

Xiahou Zheng took out the guard’s long sword and cut off the coachman’s head.

His head rolled on the ground a few times and stared straight into Xiahou Zheng’s eyes.

Xiahou Zheng was furious. This was the most powerful scout under him!

He was actually killed for nothing!
