Peach Blossom Button

He was taken out of the table by Bai Wangyan, and walked all the way to the long corridor outside the hall, leaving the noisy hall far behind.The rain was splashing on the roof and flowing down from the eaves like a waterfall. It was clearly noon, but the sky was as cloudy as night. The corridor was built on the mirror lake, and under the hazy rain was the shattered surface of the lake. Surprisingly, even though the rain was so heavy, there was not a single drop of rain in the promenade.

Bai Wangyan led Tao Mo down the deserted corridor, first smiled at him, then took out a white jade pendant with ice-blue tassels from his bosom, and handed it to Tao Mo who didn't know why.Tao Mo felt even more strange, not understanding the reason for his actions, so he didn't reach out to pick up the jade pendant for a moment.Bai Wangyan saw his extremely wary expression, so he had no choice but to explain: "Tao Shaoxia's jade pendant is lost, and I happen to have one here, if you don't mind... please accept it."

Tao Mo glanced at him inexplicably: "I can't accept it."

"Tao Shaoxia dislikes Bai?" Bai Wangyan asked with a wry smile.

"No, no," Bai Wangyan's wry smile felt a little pitiful in Tao Mo's heart, and he quickly waved his hand: "I can't take your things for no reason."

But Bai Wangyan changed from his usual gentle behavior, and put the jade pendant into Tao Mo's hand extremely forcefully, and said: "This jade pendant must not be lost, and must be carried with you. Tao Shaoxia, to tell you the truth, this mountain rain came Not good, just now I have explained to Ziwen, let him invite Mr. Ge to meet with you as soon as possible, and if it goes well, I can send you out of the villa before the birthday banquet begins."

It was even more strange to be told by him without beginning and end, Tao Mo frowned and asked: "Is this different from what you said before?" Mo Bin had promised before that after the birthday banquet, he would bring Mr. Ge to see Tao Mo, but At this time, Bai Wangyan asked him to leave the villa before the birthday banquet after meeting with Mr. Ge?What is the purpose of this.

But Bai Wangyan's tone became more hasty: "The situation is changing rapidly now, and it's not too late. I'll take you to find Ziwen right away. I was careless before, and it's too late if I don't go out now."

Suddenly, a wooden bird pierced through the rain curtain and flew towards Bai Wangyan's direction. He raised his left hand and grabbed the wet wooden bird in the palm of his hand. The wooden bird was soaked by the rain, but its performance remained unchanged. , suddenly jumped up from his hand, and said, "I can't find Mr. Ge now, and what's worse, the iron chains around Vientiane Peak have all been washed away by the rain, and now I can't go out."

The person who sent the letter was the third young master Mo Bin.

Bai Wangyan's complexion was extremely pale for a while, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he sighed, "Oh, after all... it's a step too late!"

Although Tao Mo felt strange, he still thought about it carefully. This Bai Wangyan insisted on sending him out of the villa, but because of the heavy rain that destroyed the mountain, his way out was cut off. Those who attended the birthday banquet are now trapped. On top of the majestic Vientiane Lone Peak in the heavy rain, Tao Mo remembered that when he came, he was sorting it out with love, so stay tuned for more highlights. He has seen that sturdy iron cable mechanism bridge, how could it be so vulnerable due to the heavy rain?

"Washed down by the rain," Tao Mo wondered, "how could it be?"

Clutching the folding fan tightly in his hand, Bai Wangyan frowned, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of what Mo Bin said, he thought for a while, then turned his eyes to Tao Mo's face, and asked faintly: "Young Master Tao, you must Tell me the truth, where did you lose your jade pendant?"

"This..." Tao Mo's eyes dodged for a moment, he had no trust in others, including Bai Wangyan in front of him, the weird experience after breaking into the Tiange before, including the book of thousands of secrets, he was absolutely invincible. It's not like I mentioned it to others, but now that Bai Wangyan's question is so sharp, he doesn't know how to answer it, and wants to find a reason to perfunctory, "Probably fell into the puppet room."

He has never told a lie, but since he came to Senluo Villa, he has told more than one lie, but his expression cannot be concealed at all. A smart person like Bai Wangyan can see through his mind at a glance .But if Mo Bin is so secretive, Bai Wangyan will definitely point it out and then sarcastically, but the liar is Tao Mo.

There was nothing he could do about Tao Mo.

Bai Wangyan frowned and looked at Tao Mo for a while, as if he wanted to capture something from his face, but found nothing. The white-clothed scholar tightly clenched the fan in his hand, and whispered, "Why...don't believe me so much? Bai didn't mean to harm me. You."

This slightly aggrieved tone still didn't change Tao Mo's mind. After all, he couldn't trust the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. The only people you trust are yourself and the sword in your hand.

"Sorry," Tao Mo replied, "It's not that I think Mr. Bai hurt me, it's just that I really can't remember it."

Tao Mo really can't remember this!Bai Wangyan didn't need to look at his dodging eyes, just by hearing the stiff tone, he could tell that he was lying to him, but he couldn't do anything to Tao Mo.Calm down, Bai Wangyan also wants to understand that the other party has such an experience, so he must not trust him who just met him now, but this matter is urgent, and he has already paid attention to it. There is no jade pendant of Tao Mo in the puppet room. Well, that jade pendant was taken away and made a fuss, this is really bad!In addition, it's too late to send Tao Mo away from the place of right and wrong now, the rainstorm destroyed the mountain?He didn't believe it, he must have been tampered with.

"Forget it." The more Bai Wangyan thought about it, the more he realized that he had stepped into a trap step by step. He sighed and said helplessly to Tao Mo, "Let's go back first."

Other than that, he didn't say anything else, and he wasn't in the mood to shake his fan leisurely as usual. Bai Wangyan put his hands back and walked down the corridor first.Tao Mo lowered his head and glanced at the jade pendant. When the white jade pendant was stuffed to him, there was a warm touch on it, as if it was warmed by body temperature. Now, this white jade pendant engraved with exquisite patterns, just quietly Lying in the palm of his hand.Completely different from Bai Wangyan's gentle and gentle style, a beast with the head of a leopard and the body of a dragon is entrenched in the center of this square-inch jade pendant, its claws are like golden hooks, and a small sword is dangling in its sharp teeth.Tao Mo looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and then looked at Bai Wangyan's back. He doubted whether the owner of the jade pendant was Bai Wangyan, but he took advantage of Bai Wangyan's kindness for the time being and put the jade pendant close to his body. Put it away, and followed Bai Wangyan back to the Palace of Thousand Machines.

The news of the third young master Mo is indeed much earlier. The hall is still full of singing and dancing. All turned into a spring breeze under your feet.Bai Wangyan stood by the door with his hands behind his back, watching the bustling hustle and bustle with cold eyes, finally sighed, and walked in.

Since Bai Wangyan took Tao Mo away, he continued to discuss business matters with Jin Shuisheng. Young Master Mo, who was completely ignorant of the storm and crisis, just talked about having fun, drank a little wine, and now opened a pair of slightly drunken eyes. Looking at the grand scene at the birthday banquet, his expression suddenly became a little sad. He leaned on the back of the chair and sighed: "If it wasn't for the old man's birthday banquet, how could the villa be so lively! Except for my father, there are only our brothers in the villa. The four of them, with my younger sister, became even more deserted after the death of my second younger brother... There are only the old housekeeper and five other living servants in the village, and the rest are cold-blooded puppets, without even a personality."

"Now my third brother still has a rift with me, and my younger sister moved out of the villa due to illness. Although this huge village is busy now, I feel very deserted..."

Jin Shuisheng looked at the slightly drunk young master, and suddenly felt pity for him. Jin Shuisheng greeted his maid: "The young master is drunk, go and ask the kitchen to bring some hangover soup."

"No, no need, Boss Jin," Mo Li rubbed his temples vigorously, and said with a sad smile, "I'm not drunk, so I made a slip of the tongue, please don't mind Boss Jin."

"Master Mo, you and I are both business partners and friends for many years," Jin Shuisheng sighed, "What are you doing so far?"

Hearing what Boss Jin said, Mo Li seemed to suddenly think of something, he quickly stood up from the table, but his body staggered suddenly, Jin Shuisheng's maid quickly helped him, and he stood up Ding, forced a smile: "In the end, living people are much better than that puppet servant. No matter how hard a puppet is, it is still a puppet after all... It's getting late, so I'll invite my father to come here."

"It's raining too much, young master, be careful." Jin Shuisheng reminded.

Mo Li didn't say anything more, he cupped his hands at Jin Shuisheng, took two puppet servants with him, and walked out the door.At this moment, Mo Bin rushed in from the outside in a hurry, the oil umbrella in his hand was dripping with water, but his whole body was drenched, he collided with his elder brother head-on, his eyes were scratched on Mo Li's face, and at the same time, he stopped. Stopped.

Although he has been drenched from Mr. Jinyi, Mo Bin still put on a air of a young master, raised his chin, and asked bluntly: "What are you going out for?"

But as his elder brother, Mo Li replied with a good temper: "Go invite father over, the birthday party is about to begin." As he said that, he was about to walk into the rain, but was stopped by Mo Bin.

"How did you check the chain link bridge last month? Now all four are broken into the cliff!"

Mo Bin's words were not shocking, and he kept dying. For a moment, all the guests' eyes were on the two brothers.
