After eating breakfast, Xu Ziling returned to the Passionate Nest Surprisingly, Hou Xibai had not returned yet, without any choice, he sat dejectedly in the sht’s misfortune
Both because others had shi+fted the blame to him, but also because on top of that tree he ate the northind all night long, yet the result was still nothing Since entering the s, that person did not show anyoutside the building’s door
Thisacross the threshold, he i’s chair, leaned over, and spoke in low voice, “Ziling is awesome; you said you’d steal and you immediately stole it I aood as you”
Stunned, Xu Ziling asked, “How do you know that thing is stolen?”
Sitting down on the chair next to hi, Chi Shengchun went to Shang Lin Yuan to look for Xiaodi, begging ’s real face, so that he could hand it over to the authorities and list Cao San as a wanted crichun’s voice, he would offer no less than a thousand taels of gold as a reward; it’s really a large ahtly?”
Meeting his inquiring glance, Xu Ziling s was not stolen by ”
Severely shaken, Hou Xibai blurted, “What?”
Thereupon Xu Ziling narrated what happened last night in detail And then he said, “That nificent residence is located in the middle of Anhua Street, more or less opposite to the Iate, the lions’ head has antlers on it; it is very easy to recognize, very elegant I wonder whose official residence is it?”
Hou Xibai was listening with opened eyes and tongue-tied; drawing out a mouthful of cold air, he said, “This person’sdoes not dare to recklessly charge in and seize that thing away; it’s really horrifying”
Xu Ziling pursued on, “Do you have any recollection on such a pair of strange lions?”

Hou Xibai said, “Our holy school’s people have never crossed a river in the saed to collaborate towards coht join hands for personal benefit, or perhaps fight and scheainst each other because of personal benefit If Yin Zuwen did steal the ‘Han Lin Qing Yuan Tu’, Xiaodi won’t be surprised! Ay! This matter really hasto start on Cao San’s wanted posters! Five taels of gold per poster, the ht?”
Rising up to his full height, Xu Ziling said, “I a to see Hu Xiaoxian; if Ji Qian ask you about ”
Astonished, Hou Xibai said, “Ziling is going to ignore her?”
Xu Ziling said, “I only hope that things can be a bit sichun, co shouldn’t be any proble sat on top of a high, steep cliff on the Yellow River’s south bank, overlooking the Great River rolling endlessly about a hundred zhang down belohileXuyan’s so-called important matter to attend to was certainly an excuse No matter what price he had to pay, he should have done everything in his power to seize last night’s golden opportunity to eli plus Xu Ziling have becoest threat
One of the explanations would be Yang Xuyan deliberately letting hi’an to rendezvous with Xu Ziling, to eli Xuyan in the dark Because Yang Xuyan no longer wanted to be a puppet under shi+ Zhixuan’s control
Another explanation would be Yang Xuyan, by way of flying pigeon post, notified shi+ Zhixuan to co’an
Ay! What a headache
If it was the latter possibility, it could be theBut he must make adequate preparation, so that he could have decisive battle against shi+ Zhixuan at his peak condition, to decide victory or defeat

Hu Xiaoxian, wearingher beautiful hair inside the hat, was standing quietly by the lake The beautiful pupil of her eyes was flickering as she watched the activities inside the pond, her excite, she found a sat down by her side did she – a bit reluctantly – turn her eyes away, and said with a sigh, “Xiaoxian never realized that the fish in the pond are so touching Thinking that nobody dares to har ood and honest nature of this beautiful woman; he spoke cheerfully, “The world is actually bri with beautiful aspects, only we usually overlook it because of our oorries!”
Hu Xiaoxian cast her gaze back onto the water After thinking deeply for a moment, she said, “I won’t need you to uphold justice and help rateful”
Frowning, Xu Ziling asked, “You don’t need lance, Hu Xiaoxian laughed tenderly and said, “Naturally it’s about Chi Shengchun, that fellow; is there anything else? However, you can rest assured that I, Hu Xiaoxian am a person who value loyalty, I definitely will not reveal any secret about Xu Daxia”
Xu Ziling suddenly understood He nodded and said, “Turns out the news of Chi Shengchun purchasing the ‘Han Lin Qing Yuan Tu’ frou Family was leaked out from Xiaojie’s mouth”
Hu Xiaoxian was shaken She looked at him, the pretty pupil of her eyes emitted a hard-to-believe, amazed look Greatly astonished, she said, “You really possess great ical power; how did you know about this ed his shoulders, he said, “How did Xiaodi know about this? Please forgive Xiaodi for holding off the climax I don’t knohether Xiaojie will believe this, but Chi Shengchun wanting tocircumstances require action (idiom)], because he has Yin Zuwen and Li Yuanji’s full support behind his back There will come a day your estee, Hu Xiaoxian sized him up for quite half a day, she spoke indifferently, “It was Chi Shengchun who broke his prochun paid us a visit, infor Yuan Tu’ was stolen by his ene’ Cao San Die immediately seized the opportunity to raise a difficult issue, he stated clearly one day he has not found the scroll of painting, the issue of e must not be s the painting far way to his place In the vast world, I would like to ask, what does Chi Shengchun have that he will be able to recover the painting? Ay! Tell nujia, please, how did Xu Daxia know about this matter? It was only before nujia went out the door that Die toldsht about it? How did Cao San know that Chi Shengchun had the treasured painting in his hands? Furtherreat importance? One possibility is that the chicken in the coop is rebelling Chi Shengchun was taken advantage of by his own people, when thewill return to Chi Shengchun’s hands At that time, because of your esteechun evenwithout ai thief came back to Yin Zuwen’s residence Even if it was not Yin Zuwen himself, his relationshi+p with Yin Zuwen could not be shallow There was also the possibility that it was related to the internal struggle a the demonic school factions What really happened inside was not so that outsiders could speculate
Her countenance changed, Hu Xiaoxian said, “Are you saying that this is only some kind of ‘in order to capture, one ? Or perhaps this is just his way to discourage other people anted to rely on their power to seize the painting away”
Xu Ziling spoke calmly, “This move of Xiaojie’s is really formidable; you deliberately leaked the infor to Li Yuan The problem is that this ti is the so-called ‘Duan Ming’ Cao San, and not the Great Tang Eht about the difference between the two?”
Revealing a grave expression, Hu Xiaoxian said, “Are you ied hi’an knows that the ‘Han Lin Qing Yuan Tu’ is the dowry that he had to buy back with a large su clai could not bear to deceive her Shaking his head, he said, “The inside story is cochun is not that smart But, the chance that he would obtain the treasured painting back is quite high If Xiaojie really does not wish to becochun’s atte Wo, your current way of handling this matter is akin to sit and wait for death”
With bewildered and indeterminate eyes Hu Xiaoxian looked him up and down for quite a while; she spoke heavily, “What kind of person Chi Shengchun really is? What did he do to provoke you, Xu Ziling to co said, “This aspect, it would be best if you don’tas you do what I tell you to do, I will chun’s evil plan difficult to succeed”
Hu Xiaoxian unleashed her char expression, she coether in sincerity? Why do you have to conceal anything fro dae will be Xiaoxian and not you, Xu Daxia”
Sood! Because this le within the Li Clan, knowing about it will not be helpful The more Xiaojie is unaware, the less chance that you will be drawn into this matter Didn’t you say that you trust me? Now is the chance to prove your trust to , on’t have any cooperative relationshi+p anyled tenderly and said, “All right! I will completely listen to you; destined love [in opera], what is your instruction?”
