The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

The middle-aged man said in a trembling voice: "It's the master of the family. The master asked me to call you over."

Si Yan remained calm and took a step forward: "Did your family master give the order personally?"

"Yes, it's the Patriarch..."

The middle-aged man was a little unsure of Si Yan's thoughts and nodded fearfully.

Si Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he swung the dagger in the air, slashing across the man's wrist.

With a "hiss" sound, a flash of blood appeared. The man was about to scream in pain, but Yun Li immediately covered his mouth.

The man's eyes widened and he struggled with a whimper.

Si Yan said expressionlessly: "Lying in front of me? It seems that you don't want your tendons anymore..."

The middle-aged man had a cut on his wrist, blood was flowing, and his whole body was shaking.

He wanted to fool the person, but he didn't expect that the person would see through his trick at a glance.

When the middle-aged man stopped screaming, Yun Li threatened him again in a harsh voice before letting go of his mouth.

The middle-aged man shed tears and said with a sad face: "Master, spare my life, isn't it enough for me to say it? It's not the head of the family, it's the second elder..."

The second elder of the clan?

Si Yan knew that this second elder of the clan was Boya's second uncle, and he had some ideas about the position of the head of the Bo family.

"The second elder asked you to kill us?" Si Yan said with a cold expression.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The second elder of the clan asked me to lure you into the meeting hall where we have set an ambush, and then kill you in secret."

The severe pain in his wrist made the middle-aged man dare not tell any more lies.

These people were brought into the Bo family by the head of the family. He originally thought that they were just guards with better martial arts skills, but he didn't expect them to be so simple.

"You were originally someone close to Patriarch Bo. How did you get bribed by the Second Clan Elder?"

"I, I was bewitched by a ghost and was coerced and bribed by the second elder of the clan into going over there."

The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh, "Nowadays, there are many people in the Bo family who support the Second Elder. Some people are trying to force the Patriarch to give up his position and are colluding with the Second Elder to deal with him."

"Where is your master now?"

"The Patriarch is in Jieran Pavilion, having a family dinner with the elders. They want to murder the Patriarch at the dinner today..."

"Is there anyone else at the family dinner?" Si Yan asked calmly.

"Apart from the elders, there are disciples of the clan, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and some people from the Wen family."

"Is your master's master here?" Si Yan asked a question that he was very concerned about.

"Yes, there is a family dinner today, and the master of the family is also here."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Bo Ni." The middle-aged man said tremblingly.

As soon as Bo Ni finished speaking, Si Yan pinched his mouth and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

"What did you give me to eat?" Bo Ni widened his eyes and looked at Si Yan in horror.

"Poison." Si Yan said calmly, "This was carefully developed by the disciple of the genius doctor Yunya. No one can cure it except the antidote I have.

"You've taken this poison. You need to take the antidote once a day. If you don't, your entire body will itch intensely, festering and ulcerating, and you'll die."

"You!" Bo Ni's face turned pale. "Who are you?"

"Don't worry about that." Si Yan said sternly, "As long as you obey me, I will give you the antidote. But if you don't, just wait for your body to fester and fester and you'll die."

"What do you want to do?" asked Bonnie.

Si Yan was straightforward and decisive: "Arrange a convenient identity for me and take me to Jieran Pavilion."

The only way to find out what happened to the Bo family is to go and see it.

"Okay, okay." Bonnie nodded repeatedly, "This isn't difficult, but you must give me the antidote."

As he spoke, Bonnie felt a little itchy all over. He couldn't help but move his body, which only made him feel even more itchy.

"Well, of course I'll give you the antidote." Si Yan said calmly, "However, I want to remind you that these antidotes are only to be taken once a day for relief purposes. The final antidote is still in the hands of my people at the foot of the mountain.

"As long as you cooperate, I will have the antidote delivered to the mountain after the task is completed. But if you disobey me or try to expose me, you will never get the final antidote."

In order to prevent Bo Ni from exposing her or stealing the antidote, Si Yan made her words very clear at once.

The evil thoughts that had just arisen in Bo Ni's mind were immediately silenced.

This young man is not a good person, so it’s better not to provoke him easily.

"My life is in your hands, how dare I not listen to you?" Bonni said with a bitter face.

Si Yan raised his hand, signaling Yun Li to stop the bleeding on his wrist. Yun Li immediately had someone apply medicine and bandage it.

At this moment, everyone who went to Jieran Pavilion and the Council Hall came back.

Yun Suo said solemnly, "Master, there are many swordsmen and crossbowmen lying in ambush in the council hall, and they are on high alert."

Another guard followed up, saying, "The outside of Jieran Pavilion is also full of guards."

Si Yan instructed everyone, "You guys wait and see what happens outside. I'll go to Jieran Pavilion to check out the situation."

"Yes." Yun Li and others nodded.

Although they did not trust their master, they knew that they could not disobey the master's decision.

Bo Ni assigned Si Yan the role of a waiter, responsible for pouring tea and wine for the Bo family.

Bo Ni brought Si Yan, who had changed his appearance, into Jie Ran Pavilion.

When he arrived at the door, he was questioned by the guards and pressed a mechanism in front of a stone door before he could enter.

After entering, there is a courtyard with a small bridge and flowing water. There are tall trees in the courtyard, and secret sentries are crouching on the trees.

"Don't take a wrong step. If you take a wrong step, you will fall into the trap." Bo Ni looked at the stones on the ground and instructed Si Yan.

Si Yan could tell at a glance that there were mechanisms set up on the ground, with stones connected to each other and unable to be stepped on randomly.

The person who can design this kind of chain mechanism is definitely not an ordinary mechanism master.

Walking forward, there is another maze-like bush in front of you. After passing this bush, you will reach the second gate.

After passing the second gate, there is another courtyard, which is arranged according to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.

Si Yan followed behind Bo Ni, stepping on the corresponding bluestone blocks with him and walking forward.

"With so many mechanisms, did the elders get in this way?" Si Yan asked.

"Yes, but if the master agrees, we can also shut down all these mechanisms."

After hearing this, Si Yan couldn't help but feel relieved. Boya was no ordinary person to have come this far.

He had already considered the changes in the Bo family and the possible dangers, so it was not easy for anything to go wrong.

Si Yan was worried that he would be plotted against because he trusted certain people too much.

Just then, they passed the second courtyard and came to the third gate. After entering the gate, they could see the banquet hall opposite.

The main door of the hall was wide open, and faint sounds of arguing could be heard from inside.

Si Yan followed behind Bonni, listening attentively as he walked forward.
