Xu Ziling sat back down, “What secret?” he asked
“I shouldn’t tell you this,” Hu Xiaoxian replied, “But seeing how you work hard with all your strength, giving thought to nujia, while not asking anything in return, nujia is touched and has no choice but to betray a friend’s secret to tell you, this good man But you must promise not to har that, Xu Ziling was baffled; he said, “Hu Xiaojie, please bestow your advice Xiaojie ought to know that I have never har sweetly, Hu Xiaoxian said, “Naturally nujia trusts you Isn’t Shen Luoyan your old close [inti treood friend What exactly is going on?”
Hu Xiaoxian spoke with envy, “To be able to have Xu Ziling admit with his own mouth that one is his close female friend is very rare, Xiaoxian definitely does not have this special favor, aht to be upset or a about their proper business, yet Hu Xiaoxian did not forget to be jealous of other people, while also wanted to strive for favor! Without any better option, he said, “If someday someone ask ive him the same answer”
Hu Xiaoxian happily said, “Nujia is really overwhelmed by favor [from superior], but you, this person, do you really have a heart of stone?”
Naturally Xu Ziling understood what she led muddily with her in this aspect, he spoke with serious expression, “Unexpectedly this matter is related to Shen Luoyan?”
Hu Xiaoxian leaned over a bit ’an, there is a faenerations with ut to deal with Shen Luoyan One thing goes wrong, Li shi+ji will be iu Clan?”
“Do you know the proble inwardly, Xu Ziling replied, “Let’s just say that I do! Dugu Ba was killed by Shen Luoyan in Luoyang Ay! Originally, no one knew about this matter, but we leaked it out If currently she really encounters the situation like you said, ill bear the main responsibility; therefore, we surely cannot sit back and watch”
Hu Xiaoxian anxiously said, “I can tell you that you can only resolve this u Fa [phoenix] is nujia’s best friend If she did not tellYuan Tu’ had been purchased by Chi Shengchun with high price, furtherift to move Die’s heart”
It was only at this point did Xu Ziling understand the rise and fall of the terrain of the ‘secret’ that Hu Xiaoxian was divulging, but he was also wary in his heart, because fro Hu Xiaoxian was not ‘candid and selfless’ Fortunately, he gradually won her trust
“Hu Xiaojie, please rest assured,” he spoke sincerely
Hu Xiaoxian spoke heavily, “I only heard soer sister] told me, they wanted to exploit Li Mi’s disloyalty to build a case against her, to drag Shen Luoyan down to the mud If Shen Luoyan fell into the trap, they would make their move to take Shen Luoyan’s life As for the details, nujia is not too clear”
Xu Ziling mused inwardly that one wave has not subsided, another wave already arose, so that they were struggling to cope with it, yet they sinore it Puzzled, he asked, “Currently Li shi+ji is an ieneral in the attack of Luoyang, while Dugu Clan’s current fame and power has been substantially weakened, how could they dare to take the risk of offending Qin wang by fra up Shen Luoyan?”
Hu Xiaoxian replied with soleu Clan Currently both the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan are relying on help fro the three Clans has always been very close, now the two Clans know even more clearly that the only way to survive and to preserve their riches and honor and their power is to support Li Yuan with all theirat how Li Yuan could invite andJieyu, we know the closeness of their relationshi+p With Zhang Jieyu behind thes toward Li shi+min, if they push the boat with the current, perhaps Li Yuan e fro Li Mi’s rebellion is thrown onto Shen Luoyan’s back, I a, because Shen Luoyan’s loyalty toward Li Mi has already been known to everybody”
Xu Ziling felt big headache Thisor could become small He bade farewell and left

Contrary to Kou Zhong and the others’ expectation, Song shi+dao ca relaxed and cheerful, his expression was heavy
Being tactful, Lei Jiuzhi and Ren Jun fabricated some excuse and left, so that it would be convenient for the two to talk in private
Song shi+dao took the fragrant tea that Kou Zhong was pouring for him; absentmindedly he drank a mouthful and put down the cup onto the table, his pair of eyes staring blankly into the distance ahead Kou Zhong was sure that he was not looking at anything in particular, he was just lost hizhu still refuse to forgive us?”
Song shi+dao shook his head, still with blank expression on his face; he said, “I say she already lost er to you She is a woman isdoht to know that youwas unable to , “Did ErGe have any chance to explain to her on our behalf?”
Song shi+dao was still staring at a distance with e as if in a dreaive me a definite answer, she only said she would think about it for a fewinterest she discussed her favorite Lantian [county in Xi’an, Shaanxi, but could also mean ‘blue (rice) field’] jade withthe jade, the jade color is warm in the winter, and cool in the summer The texture is clean, solid and crisp, when it is struck, the sound is clear and resonant, the grain is colorful, absolutely beyond huood taste and good vision”

Song shi+dao stared blankly at hirief, he said, “Xiao Zhong, you ave her very much, she even said that she would immediately sew it into a dress with her own hands and show it to ht to enjoy dinner together with her We all are fa, Xiuxun is the first good wo”
Kou Zhong re over it a hundred times [idiom], he scratched his head and asked, “What’s the proble shi+dao said, “The proble Que’s son, while also your, Kou Shaoshuai’s ErGe”
Inwardly Kou Zhong was severely shaken; he i Xiuxun was theHorse Ranch, hence her first consideration had to be the survival of the Ranch According to the current development, it was extremely likely that the world would evolve into north-south confrontation separated by the river South of the Great River would be Song Que and Kou Zhong’s world North of the Great River would fall under the Li Clan’s House of Tang’s sphere of influence If Song shi+dao and Shang Xiuxun beca Horse Ranch was located north of the Great River, potentially it would become a thorn in the Li Clan’s side, it would be difficult to escape the fate of being pulled out by the root
