Chapter 723: Dividing Lan Qiao Yi into Three (Seeking Minimum Monthly Tickets)

Wubian City, Marquis Mansion, East Courtyard.

Nian Nian Shangyou stood opposite Li Li Banfeng, smiling obsequiously.

Li Li Banfeng also smiled: "Scholar, you're here again. How did the negotiations go?"

Nian Nian Shangyou's whiskers trembled twice, his tone full of shame and helplessness: "Prince, my master has agreed."

"Agreed again?" Li Li Banfeng indicated he didn't understand. "What did he agree to? Tell me."

Nian Nian Shangyou took a deep breath: "Prince, do I really have to say it?"

"If you don't say it, I won't understand.

Nian Nian Shangyou smacked his lips and nodded: "Fine, I'll say it. My master has agreed to the enfeoffed land matter.

Xiao Capital will be enfeoffed to you. Sign the contract beforehand, and issue the document afterward!"

"Good!" Li Li Banfeng marveled. "Go back and tell your master to prepare everything and come to Puluo Continent to find me."

"Puluo Continent?" Nian Nian Shangyou shook his crucian carp head. "That won't do. My master is a member of the Great Shang royal family and cannot come to Puluo Continent. It's against etiquette."

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "Scholar, listen to what you're saying? At a time like this, you still have the heart to talk to me about etiquette?"

Nian Nian Shangyou said: "Then let's not talk about etiquette, let's talk about something practical. My master is a pure-blooded Inner Continent person.

If he comes to Puluo Continent, can the Peddler spare him?"

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "You don't need to worry about this. Since we are doing business, there is definitely the most basic guarantee. As long as your master doesn't have crooked thoughts and doesn't bring people who shouldn't be brought, I can guarantee his safety in Puluo Continent."

Nian Nian Shangyou said: "That won't do. My master has given instructions that business must be done in the capital, and nowhere else. This matter is non-negotiable."

"Non-negotiable? Then why did you come to me to do business? Talk to me when you've negotiated it." Li Li Banfeng got up to leave.

Nian Nian Shangyou blocked his way: "Prince, I beg you to listen to me for one sentence, just one. It's not that we lack sincerity, but because one branch of the three branches disagrees with doing this business.

We can only take action when that branch is asleep. No matter what, I can't think of any way to bring him to Puluo Continent.

Prince, having spoken to this point, you already know the root of the matter. You are a reasonable person. I have risked my life these days just to get this one thing done. I beg the Prince to think carefully again. This business really cannot be done in Puluo Continent."

Li Li Banfeng stared at Nian Nian Shangyou for a moment and nodded: "Wait for my news in Wubian City."

Seeing that Li Li Banfeng had some room for maneuver, Nian Nian Shangyou thanked him profusely and sent Li Li Banfeng out of the courtyard.

Li Li Banfeng indeed had to give some room for maneuver. After a series of probes, he had already deduced Nian Nian Shangyou's master.

Wanting first-class weapons, wanting new land, wanting enfeoffed land—the other party could afford it all. Standing behind Nian Nian Shangyou was clearly the most powerful person in the Shang Kingdom currently.

The most powerful person in the Shang Kingdom was clearly Lan Qiao Yi, but Lan Qiao Yi was not one person, because he had more than one head.

He had three heads. The other two heads usually couldn't take charge, and for most of the time, they didn't have the qualification to control the body. But now Lan Qiao Yi was in trouble because of the altar matter, his control over the body had weakened, and his control over the entire Shang Kingdom had also weakened. Under such circumstances, the other two heads had ideas.

"Assuming it's Zhu Jin and Xie Gong who want to separate from Lan Qiao Yi, Lan Qiao Yi definitely won't come to Puluo Continent. This situation really can't be changed." Li Li Banfeng told the Phonograph about the current situation.

When the two were planning before, the Phonograph also thought of this step: "If he doesn't come, Husband will have to take Lianbuda to the Inner Continent. But if Lianbuda suffers any mishap, the matter will be big.

Little Slave also reminded Husband before that if Lianbuda falls into the hands of the Inner Continent, it will be even more troublesome than the old train matter."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "So this matter cannot have any mishaps. I'll go discuss it with Lianbuda first."

Arriving at Santoucha, Li Li Banfeng went straight to the New Monarch's mansion. Lianbuda was forcing Lightbulb and Zhong'er to drink oil.

Lightbulb could hold on and drank three bowls in a row.

Zhong'er was a bit lacking and drank less than two bowls. He couldn't bear the greasiness and almost vomited.

Li Li Banfeng smelled the oil and frowned: "Brother, is this considered cultivation?"

Lianbuda puffed out his chest: "Of course this is cultivation, and it's the most critical cultivation. I am teaching them techniques."

Li Li Banfeng still didn't understand: "Is this how techniques are learned?"

Lianbuda brought Li Li Banfeng into the inner room and waved his greasy sleeve. The room was filled with grease, isolating the sound.

"Old Seven, the sunflower seeds you brought me are really easy to use. I don't know which talent researched such good things."

Li Li Banfeng expressed deep agreement. Pan Pan Dehai's character was not very good, but he was indeed a talent.

Lianbuda took out a handful of sunflower seeds and handed them to Li Li Banfeng: "These are sunflower seeds I cultivated according to his method. There are techniques in these sunflower seeds. Some techniques can be used, some techniques can be learned. It depends on what kind of sunflower seeds you have.

Oil Cultivator techniques are too hard to learn. I used learnable sunflower seeds to squeeze sunflower seed oil for them to drink. They will soon be able to learn the techniques."

Li Li Banfeng was silent for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother, you said techniques can be used, what do you mean?"

Lianbuda looked at Li Li Banfeng with slight disdain: "Do you still need to ask what it means? Isn't it obvious? The sunflower seeds you brought have the technique of 'Empty Heart and Valley', and the sunflower seeds I cultivated naturally have Oil Cultivator techniques."

"What techniques are there?" Li Li Banfeng's eyes became more and more eager.

"There are many techniques, it depends on how I cultivate them. Old Seven, what's wrong with you?" Lianbuda felt Li Li Banfeng's gaze was a bit too fervent.

Li Li Banfeng simply said: "I want to turn a three-headed person into three people. Can this technique be put into sunflower seeds?"

Lianbuda nodded slightly: "It can be, but there are risks here."

"What risks? Tell me carefully."

Lianbuda took a small porcelain bottle and said to Li Li Banfeng: "For example, there is sunflower seed oil in this bottle. You take it and give it to them to drink. After they drink it, they won't separate immediately, but will fall into a deep sleep.

After falling asleep, their bones, skin, and internal organs will all have to separate. This is very dangerous. If they can survive it, it's a success; if they can't, it's over."

Li Li Banfeng took the porcelain bottle and said: "Is this the risk brought by sunflower seed oil?"

Lianbuda nodded: "Sunflower seeds don't have much spirituality after all. When using techniques, if you don't grasp the heat well, it's hard to say what the result will be. Juanzi and the others were able to separate smoothly because I used the technique myself and grasped the proportions properly.

Using sunflower seed oil to separate people, it's hard to say what the proportions will be. If the other party has a strong physique, it's fine, but if the body is weak, I'm afraid there's not even a 50% chance of success."

Which kind did Lan Qiao Yi, Zhu Jin, and Xie Gong belong to?

Obviously, they were quite weak now.

If Li Li Banfeng took Lianbuda to the capital, Lianbuda would have to bear a great risk, and the entire Puluo Continent would have to bear a great risk.

But if he didn't take Lianbuda there, Lan Qiao Yi would have to bear a great risk, and if he wasn't careful, Lan Qiao Yi might die.

If Lan Qiao Yi died, what should he do?

Wouldn't it be quite good if he died?

Then leave the risk to Lan Qiao Yi.

Lianbuda spent two days squeezing a small bottle of sunflower seed oil for Li Li Banfeng. When handing it to Li Li Banfeng, Lianbuda repeatedly exhorted: "Old Seven, this oil must be drunk within ten days, otherwise it will be useless.

You must watch the heat carefully. If they can hold on, drink a whole bottle; if they can't, drink half a bottle."

Li Li Banfeng said: "After drinking half a bottle, the medicine effect is not enough, and only half is separated. What should I do?"

Lianbuda didn't know what to do either: "It doesn't matter if they don't separate. Let's deal with it first, and we'll think of a way later."

Li Li Banfeng joked: "If there is still sunflower seed oil left, I'll drink it. Maybe I can separate two Li Sevens."

Lianbuda shook his head: "It's useless for ordinary people to drink it. At most, they'll drink out some oil fragrance. My technique is not to dismantle people, but to slip people apart.

A three-headed person is like a flower with three petals. As long as enough oil is added, they will fall off with one slip. Once they fall off, they are separated. You have one petal on this flower, no matter how you slip it, it's useless."

Lianbuda's expression was a bit abstract. Li Li Banfeng didn't understand what he meant, only remembering one conclusion: it was useless for ordinary people to drink sunflower seed oil.

Li Li Banfeng took the sunflower seed oil and returned to Wubian City, and made an appointment with the Fish Scholar.

Nian Nian Shangyou was overjoyed: "Prince, rest assured. On this trip to the capital, everything will be arranged by my master. I will never let you have any mishaps."

Li Li Banfeng smiled without saying a word. If there were any mishaps on the trip to the capital, the mishap would likely come from his master.

Nian Nian Shangyou returned to the capital and soon sent a reply. The time was set for three days later.

Li Li Banfeng was going to break into the capital again. The Phonograph was a bit worried: "Husband, Xie Gong and Zhu Jin are not good people. Whether the matter succeeds or not, they won't let you go. Besides, what Lan Qiao Yi is thinking is hard to figure out now."

"Niangzi, rest assured, I have confidence." Li Li Banfeng got the most ruthless contract paper from Did Honglian and followed Nian Nian Shangyou to the capital.

The Five-Layer Gate of the capital. He He Jiaqing disguised himself as a guard and sneaked into the Wenyuan Pavilion.

The number of guards had indeed increased, but not as exaggerated as Zuo Anna said. He He Jiaqing estimated that it was only 30% to 40% more than before.

Listening to other guards chatting, He He Jiaqing learned that some guards had been transferred elsewhere.

What big event happened in the capital that even the guards of the Wenyuan Pavilion could be transferred?

For Lan Qiao Yi, what could be more important than the contract of the Wenyuan Pavilion?

These suspicious points could not be judged for the time being. The top priority was to find an opportunity to steal the contract.

Li Li Banfeng arrived at the Three-Layer Gate of the capital. Inside the Three-Layer Gate, there were wine shops, tea houses, and theaters everywhere. Li Li Banfeng entered a theater and followed Nian Nian Shangyou to a private room on the second floor.

There were no actors in the theater, and no guests. Walking all the way to the door of the private room, Li Li Banfeng only saw one guard.

This guard didn't look tall, wore a suit of flower-spotted hard armor, his limbs were short and thin, but the two whiskers on his upper lip were quite long.

Looking at his appearance, this should be a shrimp. Such a guard was clearly suitable for water warfare. Being a guard in a theater,

it seemed unfavorable for him to exert his strengths.

However, this matter could also be understood. Those who could be guards in this place were definitely trusted aides. Even if they weren't the best at fighting, they had to be the most reliable.

Entering the room, Li Li Banfeng saw a slow curtain. Pushing the slow curtain aside to look, Lan Qiao Yi was lying on the bed, his eyes closed tightly, while Zhu Jin and Xie Gong were both awake on the side.

Zhu Jin said to Li Qi: "You'd better be quick. Our eldest brother has been asleep for a while, it's hard to say when he will wake up."

Li Li Banfeng frowned slightly. Zhu Jin was used to being bossy, but he forgot who he was talking to: "I want to be quick too,

did you bring the deposit?"

Zhu Jin was a bit dissatisfied. Before he could speak, Xie Gong took a step forward and said: "Nian Shangyou, present the deposit to the Prince."

Nian Nian Shangyou first took out three copies of the contract: "These three copies of the contract correspond to three first-class weapons. The weapons are placed in Xiao City. After the matter is completed, the Prince can go to Xiao City to collect the goods."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "In this way, Xiao City is already my enfeoffed land?"

Nian Nian Shangyou took out another contract and a document: "The document and contract for Xiao Capital are all prepared. From today on, this is the Prince's enfeoffed land.

There is also a moving city, which is waiting on the shore right now. After the matter is completed, I will take the Prince to Xiao Capital."

Li Li Banfeng nodded repeatedly and asked: "What about the new land?"

Nian Nian Shangyou took out ten pairs of contracts and handed them to Li Li Banfeng: "Please verify, Prince."

Li Li Banfeng checked carefully. He was very familiar with contracts, and these contracts were indeed real.

Nian Nian Shangyou said: "The remaining ten pairs of contracts are also prepared. They will be handed to the Prince after the matter is completed."

"Good!" Li Li Banfeng was very satisfied with this attitude. He took out a contract from his bosom and said to Zhu Jin and Xie Gong: "Sign it."

The paper used for this contract was the most ruthless contract paper refined by Did Honglian, written by the Judge's Pen himself, with every clause watertight.

Zhu Jin was not good at reading documents, Xie Gong read it carefully once, and had some doubts.

The contract clearly stipulated that after the matter was completed, the new land, enfeoffed land, and first-class weapons that should be given to Li Qi could not be missing a single one. This was written correctly.

Besides this, it also had to guarantee the safety of Li Li Banfeng and his entourage in the capital.

Guaranteeing Li Li Banfeng's safety was what should be done, but Li Li Banfeng came alone, so where did the safety of his entourage come from?

Li Li Banfeng said: "I am not doing a one-off business with you all. In the future, when I come to the capital, you must guarantee the safety of me and my entourage."

Xie Gong frowned: "Prince, you didn't mention this price before!"

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "Does this price still need to be mentioned? After the business is done, I have to prevent you from silencing me. I prevented it this time, so I have to be more careful in the future."

Xie Gong hesitated for a long time and didn't want to sign.

Zhu Jin was worried that Lan Qiao Yi would wake up at any time, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.

Li Li Banfeng had plenty of patience. If they didn't sign the contract, he would just wait here.

After waiting for a while, Xie Gong couldn't hold on anymore. He signed the contract and pressed a blood handprint.

Li Li Banfeng took back the contract and felt danger slowly approaching.

Xie Gong was expressionless, but Li Li Banfeng knew clearly in his heart that the three-headed person had been dismantled into three people. Xie Gong and Zhu Jin absolutely didn't want Li Qi to reveal this secret.

Zhu Jin looked at Li Li Banfeng and said: "We signed the contract, you also have to sign. It's clearly written on it that the price promised to you will only count after the matter is completed."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "I definitely have to sign."

He pricked his fingertip and pressed a blood handprint on the contract. A drop of blood fell to the ground.

An invisible boundary line swung out silently from under Li Li Banfeng's feet, quickly covering the entire theater.

Xie Gong, Zhu Jin, and Nian Nian Shangyou didn't find any abnormalities. The guard standing at the door felt something was wrong. He looked down for a long time but couldn't find the trace of the boundary line.

Li Li Banfeng first took out two steamed buns and handed them to Zhu Jin and Xie Gong: "You two eat these two meat buns.

,"

Zhu Jin asked: "What for?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "This is anesthetic. If you don't eat it, you'll be in pain to death in a moment."

Xie Gong looked at the meat bun and said: "The capital has high-quality anesthetic, I'll call someone to get some."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Your anesthetic is not effective. Bones, flesh, and internal organs all have to be dismantled. Even the best anesthetic can't resist it. If you want to live, only this bun works."

Zhu Jin was scared, his whole body shaking: "What method are you using to separate us?"

"You'll know in a moment. If you don't eat, just wait to be in pain to death." Li Li Banfeng asked Nian Nian Shangyou to get a casserole, took a pack of medicinal herbs from his body, and started boiling medicine in the soup.

Zhu Jin took the meat bun and was about to put it in his mouth. Xie Gong first broke off a small piece and handed it to Nian Nian Shangyou: "You eat this."

Nian Nian Shangyou's face was pale: "Is it appropriate for me to eat this? This is prepared for the two adults."

"Do you dare to resist orders?" Zhu Jin's eyes showed cold light.

Nian Nian Shangyou didn't dare to disobey and ate this small piece of bun.

Taking advantage of the three of them talking, Li Li Banfeng's shadow under his feet moved quietly and left the room.

Not long after eating, Nian Nian Shangyou's eyelids felt heavy, and he fell asleep against the wall.

Zhu Jin and Xie Gong saw that he was just asleep and had no other conditions. After deliberation, both of them ate the buns.

Not long after eating, both of them felt their eyelids heavy and were about to fall asleep when Li Li Banfeng poured two bowls of soup medicine into their mouths respectively.

"Two gentlemen, we are about to separate. We were inseparable before, but from now on, we will live our own lives."

Zhu Jin was scared, half of his body shaking non-stop.

Xie Gong gritted his teeth and slowly closed his eyes.

Li Li Banfeng watched them fall into a deep sleep and waited quietly for the medicine to take effect.

The meat buns they ate were not anesthetic; inside were Lianbuda's sunflower seed oil, with half a bottle in each bun.

The soup medicine they drank was the Peddler's Soul-Returning Soup. This thing could save lives at critical moments. Whether it could help them survive this disaster depended on their good fortune.

Li Li Banfeng hoped they could survive.

If Lan Qiao Yi died, it would be a good thing for Li Li Banfeng, but not a very big good thing. There would be others to take Lan Qiao Yi's place, but no one would fulfill the price promised to Li Li Banfeng.

If he could survive, the situation would change.

An hour later, the skin between Lan Qiao Yi and Zhu Jin cracked first. The crack ran from the shoulder all the way to the hip, and sticky grease, with a small amount of blood, flowed out from the crack.

The next scene completely overturned Li Li Banfeng's understanding of the three-headed person.

He had always thought that the three-headed person was one body with three heads.

Now seeing the skin of the three-headed person fall off completely, Li Li Banfeng knew that inside the body of the three-headed person,

there were actually three bodies.

Lan Qiao Yi's body maintained the outline of a normal person, while Zhu Jin and Xie Gong's bodies were coiled inside Lan Qiao Yi's body in an extremely distorted way.

Was this caused by sunflower seed oil? Or was the three-headed person originally constructed this way?

If the three-headed person originally had separate bodies, how could Xie Gong and Zhu Jin also control Lan Qiao Yi's body?

If this was caused by sunflower seed oil, how did Zhu Jin and Xie Gong's bodies grow in such a short time?

Li Li Banfeng couldn't figure out the principle behind this. As Zhu Jin and Xie Gong's bodies slowly unfolded, the two people also slowly woke up.

"Pain—." Zhu Jin couldn't help but shout. His body had never been in contact with the outside world, and even touching the soft mattress hurt like hell.

Xie Gong also opened his eyes. He moved his limbs, and although the pain was unbearable, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

He finally had his own body. He had never felt this sense of relaxation and freedom before.

Xie Gong looked at Li Li Banfeng and wanted to confirm one thing with him: "The matter, is it done?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "See for yourself whether it's done or not."

Now it could be seen very clearly; his body had completely separated from Lan Qiao Yi's, and his body was complete.

Xie Gong gritted his teeth, sat up, and laughed at Li Li Banfeng: "Since the matter is done, Prince, I will fulfill my promise immediately. You can take the reward and leave the capital."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "The reward hasn't been given in full. There are still ten pairs of new land contracts that haven't been handed to me."

Xie Gong said: "Prince, don't worry. Just now Scholar Nian also said that we have prepared a moving city for you. You can collect the contracts after you go to the moving city."

"Is that so?" Li Li Banfeng laughed. "Actually, what you're thinking in your heart is that I can't reach the shore at all, and I can't even walk out of this theater, right?"

Xie Gong shook his head repeatedly: "Prince, you are too suspicious. I signed a contract with you. If I break the alliance, I will definitely be severely punished."

Li Li Banfeng said: "You made preparations beforehand, you have means to circumvent the contract, you think you can avoid the punishment of the contract, right?"

Xie Gong sighed: "Prince, you are too suspicious. My three brothers are from a noble family, how can we break our word?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "Since you keep your word, then you personally send me to the moving city."

Xie Gong shook his head: "My appearance is not convenient to be seen."

"No problem, just dress up as an ordinary person. Wear ordinary clothes, no one will recognize you."

Zhu Jin got up and said: "Prince, stop while you're ahead. As long as we give an order, you will die without a burial place."

Li Li Banfeng looked at Zhu Jin and said: "Isn't this too scary?"

"You don't believe it?" Xie Gong shouted at the door, "Ye Ye Shengge, come in!"

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Ye Ye Shengge, is that the guard at the door?"

Xie Gong said: "Did you think he was just an ordinary guard? Did you not take him seriously? He is the founder of a sect, killing you is as easy as turning over his hand—.. "

Halfway through the sentence, Xie Gong felt something was wrong.

Ye Ye Shengge didn't enter the door. Could it be that he didn't hear it?

Xie Gong shouted a few more times, and Zhu Jin followed suit.

Ye Ye Shengge heard it, and Banfengzi, who was hiding in the dark, also heard it.

He looked at Ye Ye Shengge, who was expressionless and had been standing in place, and had already deduced the current situation.

"Cough cough!" Lan Qiao Yi suddenly coughed.

Xie Gong and Zhu Jin were startled, each picked up a weapon from the bedside, preparing to control Lan Qiao Yi.

Xie Gong had just placed the knife on Lan Qiao Yi's neck when he suddenly felt a burst of dryness and heat, his hands and feet went numb and soft, and he sat down near Lan Qiao Yi with a dazed expression.

Lan Qiao Yi took the knife from Xie Gong's hand and cut Xie Gong's throat with one stroke.

Xie Gong struggled for a while holding his throat and stopped breathing.

Lan Qiao Yi turned to look at Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin's body also went numb and soft. This was Ye Ye Shengge's technique. He saw Ye Ye Shengge push the door and walk into the room.

Why would Ye Ye Shengge use a technique on him and Xie Gong?

Lan Qiao Yi coughed again, and Ye Ye Shengge took off his full suit of armor and looked at Li Li Banfeng.

Zhu Jin saw this scene and realized that Ye Ye Shengge only listened to Lan Qiao Yi's orders.

Impossible.

Ye Ye Shengge was found by Nian Nian Shangyou, and Nian Nian Shangyou was loyal to Xie Gong.

Why would Ye Ye Shengge listen to Lan Qiao Yi's orders?

The guards outside the theater were also found by Nian Nian Shangyou. Whose orders would they listen to?

Lan Qiao Yi also took Zhu Jin's knife.

Zhu Jin knew he was powerless to resist, so he knelt on the bed with difficulty: "Eldest Brother, I was wrong."

Lan Qiao Yi asked: "Do you really know you were wrong?"

Zhu Jin kowtowed repeatedly: "I really know I was wrong."

Taking advantage of Zhu Jin kowtowing on the bed, Lan Qiao Yi stabbed the knife into the back of Zhu Jin's head and stirred it in the skull.

Zhu Jin died.

Lan Qiao Yi looked at Li Li Banfeng: "They are all dead, what should you do?"

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "It doesn't matter to me, business can be done with anyone."

Lan Qiao Yi weighed the knife in his hand: "Still talking about business? Do you think you can still walk out of this room?"

While speaking, Lan Qiao Yi looked at Ye Ye Shengge.

Li Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat and still looked at Lan Qiao Yi: "Want to renege on the debt? Shall we try?"
