After a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door of Xue Cai's room in the inn. When he opened the door, he saw Yishu. Yishu stared at him with a smile, then untied his cloak and walked in.

The inn room was large, but Xue Cai had very little luggage. There was a half-open book on the table. Yishu picked it up and saw that it was the second volume of "Chao Hai Mu Wu Lu" by Nineteen Lang.

Nineteen Lang was the pen name of Xie Changyan, Empress of Yan Kingdom, when she wrote the book. Speaking of which, she was also a wonderful person. Yishu had met her once before when he came here, and admired her very much. It's just that people are very strange. At that time, she thought that Nineteenth Lang was a strange woman who disguised herself as a man and traveled around the world, so she admired it. Not very comfortable anymore.

For people with better fate than her, especially women, she is very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Yishu only took one look at it, then put it back again, and said with a smile: "The post station is simple, isn't Mr. Xue boring?"

Xue Cai looked outside at the courtyard that had been cleaned up, and saw a young man in purple standing in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. The young man sensed his gaze, turned his head, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and they remained calm.

In the end, Xue Cai simply did not close the door, and went back to sit down and read a book.

His expression was cold, and Yishu could feel it naturally. Speaking of which, when she came to see Ji Ying, Xue Cai was very cold to her. She smiled slightly, and said without hesitation: "Xue Xiang has a lot of opportunities, and I am very relieved to be able to come here. There is a hot spring mentioned in this book, which was built on the hillside of Huangyuanling in the suburbs of Beijing, surrounded by hibiscus The flowers are in full bloom at this time. Would Xue Xiangke be interested in taking a visit?"

Xue Cai looked at the book and said bluntly, "No."

Yishu choked, remembering that Xue Cai's arrogance is known to all the four countries, that's all, then he smiled again: "Then it was written in the book that there is a fairy cave in Fengxian County. The scenery in the cave is very elegant, and there are strange stalactites..."

Xue Cai raised her head from the book and interrupted impatiently: "No."

Yishu couldn't hold back her smile any longer, she stared at Xue Cai, her gaze became colder: "Since I don't intend to make friends with you, why did you come here?"

When she laughed, Xue Cai didn't smile, when she didn't laugh, Xue Cai laughed instead: "Guess."

Yishu had a sullen face and didn't guess.

Xue Cai put down the book, got up and walked in front of her, the two were close at hand, he was a full head shorter than her, but Ke Yishu felt uncomfortable in front of him, and his half-smile, full of disdain The smile made her even more uncomfortable.

"I'll tell you what I'm here for. I'll let everyone know that I'm here in Chengguo. When they thought I'd go to your shit-picking husband banquet, that day, I'd dress up nicely and ride out on horseback. Walk around and look around, and go to the most famous brothel here for a drink, but not to the palace. Then what do you think the people of Cheng Guo will say? What will the people of the world say?"

Yishu's face turned pale. What will the world say? Of course they would make fun of her - so what if she is a queen, Xue Cai just won't give you face! Not only did he refuse to give it, but he deliberately came to slap you in the face!

"Don't you want to disgust the queen of our country? I'm here to disgust you too—this is the purpose of my coming to Chengguo." Xue Cai smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, with a kind of inadvertent innocence and a more deliberate one. vicious.

Yishu couldn't control himself anymore, and was so angry that he was shaking: "As the Prime Minister of a country, you are such a joke!"

Xue Cai said leisurely: "Not as many as Your Majesty."

Yishu shook his sleeves, turned around and left, walked to the threshold, and slammed the door heavily: "You will regret it. Xue Cai, you must regret it for humiliating me like this!"

"Okay, I'll wait." Xue Cai replied very casually.

Yishu's pupils turned dark black, almost overflowing with hatred, she gritted her teeth, and finally walked quickly across the courtyard and returned to the carriage when she came.

And Yuan Su, who had been watching the sky in the courtyard, turned his head to look at the room, and met Xue Cai's eyes again. Yuan Su suddenly said: "Guan Jun's face is so wise, it's hard to live for a long time."

Xue Cai chuckled and ignored him at all.

Yuan Su turned around and caught up with Yishu.

In the carriage, Yishu scratched the tassels on the brocade couch viciously, trembling with anger.

Yuan Su looked at her like this, picked up the sand table silently, and said while deducing: "I don't think Xue Cai has a long life, and your majesty doesn't need to be too angry."

"Of course he doesn't have a long life! I wanted to keep him alive, but now..." Yishu sneered, "His death will be in three days!"

Yuan Su stared at the patterns on the sand table, his brows slightly frowned, thoughtful.

Yishu suddenly thought of something, lifted the curtain and told the guards: "Send down the order to list "Chao Hai Mu Wu Lu" as a banned book, and it is not allowed to be sold anymore! Burn all the ones you have bought!"

The guards were confused, but they were used to Yishu's inexplicability, so they went to execute it without asking.

Yishu fell back on the couch, but he was very puzzled and said bitterly: "I should really listen to you, I shouldn't have made this trip."

Yuan Su raised his head from the sand table, still looked at her calmly and said, "If your Majesty doesn't come, it will be fine, but if you come, you will fulfill your friendship with Bai Zehou. Your Majesty is a loving person."

Yishu only felt that this sentence really touched his heart, and his anger was swept away immediately: "Jianjian is really my confidant."

Yuan Su didn't speak any more, and continued to look at the sand table with his head down. Yishu kept looking at him, and wanted to reach out to touch him several times, but in the end he didn't do anything.

She just looked at him affectionately, with joy in her eyes.

Just looking at this person makes me happy.

***

After Yi Shu and Yuan Su left, a figure flashed, closed the door with a creak, and then thumped the wall and laughed.

First a chuckle, then a laugh.

Xue Cai looked at this person helplessly, and said, "Aren't you afraid that Yishu will find you here?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place! If she knows that I'm here and has witnessed how she suffers, Zhou Yu is probably the second." It was Yi Fei who came, and he turned around and walked towards Xue Cai as he spoke. Sit down in front of him, look at him eagerly, hoping that he will answer "Why is Zhou Yu the second", and then he can explain: "Because I was so angry to death".

Who knows that Xue Cai didn't ask, not only didn't ask, but also lowered his head to read the book, as if he didn't want to talk to him.

Yi Fei then raised his hand and closed the book: "Don't read it, the book of the rival in love, what's so good about it."

This time, Xue Cai finally frowned and asked, "What rival in love?"

"Everyone in the world knows that King Yan loves you..." Yi Fei blinked his eyes cheaply, "His wife is naturally your rival in love." After he finished speaking, he shouted in his heart: Quickly refute, quickly refute me!

In the end, Xue Cai just hummed and acquiesced, and said lightly: "This is a good book."

Yi Fei held his breath in his heart, and suddenly felt that he was repeating the same mistakes as his sister.

But his treatment is different from Yishu's after all. Xue Cai turned the book to a certain page and pushed it in front of him: "Xie Changyan pointed out in the book two years ago that there are too many hot springs in Luwan, and there are still hot springs from time to time. trap happens."

Yi Fei was startled, and immediately picked up the book and read it seriously.

"She visited 20 old wells. The people said that in the early years the well water was only one foot away from the ground, but now the rope of the bucket has to be extended to twenty feet to get the water. If things go on like this, Luwan will become a funnel, deep in the middle, surrounded by Shallow...will..."

"Sea water pouring in!" Yi Fei closed the book, his expression became serious, "And this happened half a year ago."

"So, is this book well written?"

"Such a good book, why didn't it attract attention in Cheng territory?" Yishu was really a waste!

"Those who are blinded by one leaf can only see the fallen leaves in front of them withered and yellow, but they cannot see the whole tree behind them is rotten. In fact, compared with this, the danger of Ruyi Gate is nothing..." The sea water poured back, submerged the fertile fields, and hundreds of thousands of people Homeless, no food to eat, that's the real disaster.

Yi Fei murmured, "So, Yuan Su really did something good."

"You think so?" Xue Cai raised his eyebrows, "As soon as the queen ascended the throne, this person returned to Luwan, rose step by step, and became a favorite. Is it too coincidental?"

Yi Fei stared into Xue Cai's eyes, "Is it a game?"

"Aren't you curious why Yishu came to see me alone late at night?"

"That's right. If you..." Yi Fei swept Xue Cai's eyes, "If you are older, she can still be interpreted as looking for you."

Xue Cai ignored his ridicule and continued: "She didn't have to go this way, didn't have to see me, and didn't have to be angry with me. She wanted to invite me to play in Huangyuanling and Xianrendong. I won't mention it after the feast is over." Not too late."

Yi Fei came to the conclusion: "She wants to do something so that she can transfer you out."

"Other than that, I can't think of any other reason."

"You plan to choose a husband to force her into the palace, but she is planning to catch us all."

"Yishu is not really a brainless woman."

"But she wants to show mercy to you...why?"

"Maybe it's because of this—" Xue Cai raised his sleeves, and there was a totem of Bai Ze embroidered on the corner of the sleeves.

Yifei sneered, "Since when did Yishu put so much emphasis on friendship?"

"Many people are ruthless to the living, but they are sympathetic to the dead. Because the dead can give them a complete sense of security." So Yishu thought of Ji Ying, and thought of all his good, so he felt more grateful to him and wanted him more. do something for him.

"We have been planning for a long time, but we didn't realize that Yishu was also planning. Where is her layout?"

Xue Cai was silent for a long time before slowly saying two words: "Yuan Su."

***

Yishu sent Yuan Su back to his residence before returning to the palace. When I returned to the bedroom, it was almost midnight.

The maids came forward to untie her hair, and when she saw something on the bronze mirror, her eyes moved slightly, and she said, "No need, you all retreat."

The maids bowed and retreated.

The bronze mirror is studded with jewels, and there is a snake on the top of the mirror. The snake's eyes are made of movable rubies. They were originally open, but they are closed at this moment. So Yishu knew—that person was coming.

"You came to see me so late, is there something serious?" Yishu sat down in front of the dressing table, and asked while removing the hair himself.

From the curtain beside the bed, an old man slowly walked out, a very good-looking old man, who was none other than the eye.

The expression on Pin Congmu's face at this moment is not very good-looking: "You shouldn't see Xue Cai."

"Oh? Why?" When asking this question, Yishu couldn't help thinking, if the person who said this was Mrs. Ruyi, she would definitely not dare to ask back.

"Xue Cai is very vigilant. You will definitely make him suspicious after you have gone through this experience. In addition, there are many people in the court helping him overtly and secretly. If something is found out..."

Yishu smiled faintly: "It's just a kid, even if he was taught by Mr. Bai Ze, he can't predict things like a god. If he wants to check, he will check it."

Pin Congmu frowned.

"Don't be nervous, everything will fall into place, just like the katydid mountain last year, boom—it will fall when it is said."

Pin Congmu said in a low voice: "Qi'er is back."

Yishu's expression moved slightly. Of course she had met Qi'er. In fact, Qi'er was the first person who came to contact her at Ruyimen.

She still remembered that it was a snowy night six years ago. She stumbled and walked on the streets of Luwan, not wanting to go back to the palace. Snow fell on her body, and she couldn't feel the cold. Instead, she felt hot. There were welts on her body, and the pain was burning. There was only one thing on her mind: dawn soon, dawn soon. By dawn, the pain was gone. You can fall asleep when you feel no pain.

At night, Luwan is very deserted, and every house closes its doors and turns off the lights, so it looks very dark.

She walked in the dark, thinking over and over again: dawn soon, dawn soon...

Just then, a little light appeared ahead.

The light gradually approached, and it turned out to be a young girl holding the lamp. The girl was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked ordinary, but the lamp she carried was extremely exquisite: the lamp head was carved into the shape of a phoenix looking back, the lampshade was two white feathers, and the light shone through the feathers. Two long white tail feathers dragged the pole, and swayed slightly as the girl walked, the bird seemed to be alive.

Yishu stared fixedly at the lamp, unable to move his eyes away for a moment.

The girl came to her and suddenly smiled: "Like it?"

Yishu subconsciously nodded.

The girl turned the lamp handle and handed it to her: "Send it to you?"

Yishu became alert and didn't answer her. Instead, he sized her up and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you still walking outside during the curfew?"

"Aren't you too?"

"This palace is a princess!"

"The scarred princess?"

The girl's clear eyes seemed to directly see her ugly body through the cloak wrapped around her body. This feeling of being offended and the secret being known made Yishu furious: "Who the **** are you?! Come—come—"

She didn't come out alone.

Her bodyguards all followed her at a distance.

After Ke Yishu shouted, no one answered. Looking back, he found that there was nothing behind him, and there was no other footprints on the ground that had already accumulated a thin layer of snow except her.

Yishu gritted his teeth and decided to do it himself.

Over the years, when my father was in a good mood, he would occasionally teach her a few tricks. She studied very hard, practiced very hard, and imagined that one day she would be able to beat that man and be relieved. Therefore, she not only knows martial arts, but is also quite good.

However, she couldn't even touch the corner of the girl's clothes. No matter how he moves, the opponent can always avoid it one step ahead, and the phoenix bird lantern also floats around, its tail feathers drawing a beautiful arc.

Yishu was severely beaten, and then walked in the snow for a long time, exhausted, finally had to stop, gasped and stared at the girl three feet away, and said: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The girl handed the lamp handle to her again: "Do you want it?"

Yishu simply took it over and put the lamp in his hand. It is more delicate when viewed closely, every feather is real, soft and elastic to the touch. This kind of fine workmanship is by no means a product of Cheng Guo. Only Bi Guo, who is playful and despondent, is willing to spend so much thought on useless things.

"Are you from Bi Country?"

"You like Bi?"

"Father said that sooner or later it will be conquered and become the territory of our country of Cheng!" Yishu didn't know why she said that, she obviously hated that person, but when such a topic was mentioned, she still let her go. Feel the glory. Perhaps, the ambition and desire for power have been buried in her bones along with her blood.

The girl smiled when she heard such arrogant words: "Warrior will die."

Yishu snorted, "I forgot that fighting means danger!"

The girl's eyes flickered a few times, and for some reason, she seemed a little disappointed: "It seems that you are not what I thought. Forget it, return the lamp to me."

Yishu refused to return it, and took two steps back and said, "If you give it to me, it belongs to me!"

With a flash of the girl's figure, Yishu felt that his hand was empty and the lamp was gone. Seeing her floating away with the lamp, and the only ray of light was about to disappear into the boundless snowy night, Yishu's nose was sour, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

She simply sat down in the snow without caring about her image, grabbed a handful of snow and threw it out fiercely: "One by one! They all bully me...Why? Why what why?"

Whiplashes hurt, and the body was cold. Yishu thought desperately: when will such days end?

She suddenly pulled out a dagger from her boot, pointed it at her throat, and stabbed tremblingly.

And this time, like the countless times before, it passed away the moment it touched the skin, without even leaving a red mark.

She was shocked, and then laughed miserably: "Coward! Don't even dare to die!"

A sigh sounded from behind her.

Yishu was startled, and jumped up immediately, only to find that the girl came back at some point, but she just turned off the light, so she appeared without warning.

Yishu gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you leave?"

The girl looked at her with something disgusting in her eyes, yes, it was sympathy. She sympathizes with her.

Yishu thought: I don't need sympathy from anyone! She snorted coldly, turned around and prepared to go back to the palace. Just as she passed by the girl, the girl suddenly said: "Prince Cheng is addicted to war, and I don't like it. I want to change someone to be King Cheng. Are you interested?"

Yishu was shocked and couldn't believe her ears. When she came back to her senses, the first thing she said was: "How old are you? You can change if you want?"

The girl smiled, pointed at her nose and said, "I am Qi'er. Qi'er from Ruyi Gate. The future Mrs. Ruyi. So, if I want to change, I can change."

Yishu's heart sank - she knew the name Mrs. Ruyi.

There were a few late nights, when the father was sleeping soundly, his confidants came to report that his wife had come, and no matter how reluctant the father was, he would get up to see her. She was curious, but dared not ask. One day, an unburnt writing brush was found in the stove in Father Wang's study. The barrel of the writing brush was hollow, and the contents inside had been burned. Since then, she has paid attention to it, and often checks whether there are any extra pens. Finally, one day, she saw an untouched pen, and hurriedly opened the pen tube before her father came. Let the father send over this year's agricultural and mulberry tax as soon as possible, and the payment will be "Mrs. Ruyi".

Only then did she realize that her mighty father wanted to listen to others. That person is Mrs. Ruyi.

But at this moment, the girl in front of her who was not much older than herself actually said that she was the future Mrs. Ruyi, and that she didn't like her father and king and wanted to change the emperor. How could it not shock her.

Yishu was stunned, trembling all over, but couldn't speak a word for a long time.

The girl Qi'er suddenly reached out her hand and touched her head: "Go back and think about it carefully. I will come to you for an answer in three days." Then, she turned on the lamp again, stuffed it into her hand again, and floated away. go.

Yishu just held the lamp and looked at her until she disappeared at the end of the road, feeling that everything that happened was unreal. If it weren't for the extra lamp in his hand, he would have thought it was a dream.

That was the first time Yishu met Qi'er.

Qi'er gave her a lamp and a proposal.

She struggled with this for three whole days, and when she finally mustered up the courage and decided to give it a try, Qi'er didn't come after three days. The person who came was Luo Zi, the father's favorite concubine.

Only then did she know that Luo Zi was actually from Ruyimen! And it came with the order of the current Mrs. Ruyi. She couldn't help asking Luo Zi about Qi'er, Luo Zi said: "She was sent by Madam to do other things, she is not in Chengjing for the time being."

Then she never saw Qi'er again. I only heard from Luo Zi that Qi'er was missing and probably died.

Then, she waited until Ruyimen had internal strife, and borrowed goods from the eyes to destroy the base camp of Ruyimen, forcing Mrs. Ruyi to flee in a panic, and disappeared from her world ever since.

But at this moment, Pin Congmu actually told her that Qi'er is back, what does this mean?

"You didn't catch her? You didn't catch Mrs. Ruyi?"

Pin Congmu said indifferently: "That's why I'm here to tell you that your enemy has reappeared, not only that, but also has a helper. If you take it lightly, you will be the next person to flee."

Yishu's expression changed again and again, but in the end he still sneered and said: "It's good, just caught them all in one go."

Pin Congmu saw that she was stubborn, so he stopped talking and turned to leave.

Seeing that he was going to leave, Yi Shu rolled his eyes suddenly, and said delicately, "It's so late, let's stay one night before leaving."

Pin Cong glanced at her with a half-smile, shook his head, and disappeared into the shadows.

Yishu was still holding a comb in his hand, and there were several broken hairs in the comb. If the maid combed her hair like this, she would have killed her long ago, but this time she combed it by herself, so she could only pull it out expressionlessly, and then continued. .

"I will win." She stared at herself in the bronze mirror and said over and over again, "I have survived the most difficult stage, and nothing can stop me. I will definitely win! Yi Fei, Mrs. Ruyi, Xue Anyone who opposes me will die!"

***

On the morning of the eighth day of September, the sky in Luwan was clear and cloudless, and the weather was very dry and hot.

People from the Ma family and Zhou family surrounded Yun's house every day, looking for Yundi's important person. Yun Xing rushed out angrily and beat them up.

Hearing the news, the heads of the Ma family and the Zhou family immediately entered the palace and cried to the queen in tears. In the middle of crying, Ma Kang, who was prematurely aging, didn't know whether he was angry or hot. He fainted and had to lie down in the end. Go home on the back of an elephant.

At noon, Hu Jiuxian's ship arrived at the port and brought a whole ship of ice, because Master Hu wanted to recuperate here but the weather was too hot. Everyone looked enviously at the huge blocks of ice that were as tall as a person being carried into Mr. Hu's private residence in Luwan, and thought that it didn't matter whether he married a queen or not if he was a man.

There were even many people waiting outside the station eagerly, handing out invitations to see Feng Xiaoya and Xue Cai. Feng Xiaoya rejected them all. Xue Cai never refused to come, so there was a long queue in front of his door.

The people in Luwan City watched more excitement this day than in the past year combined. And at dusk, the biggest show came on stage—Yang Shuo came.

Although Yang Shuo is the son of Cheng Guo's aristocratic family, in terms of fame, he is far inferior to Xue Caihu Jiuxian and Feng Xiaoya, and even inferior to his father Yang Hui. Moreover, he was very low-key, riding a small brown horse to the gate of the city alone, without any entourage, so he was not eye-catching at all.

However, just as the guards guarding the city gate were checking the road guides as usual, suddenly a bullock cart came galloping, and the pedestrians along the way were stunned—they had never seen such a fast cow!

An old man with white eyebrows and hair was sitting in the car. The old man swung his whip to drive the cattle, driving out the thunder force abruptly.

When Yang Shuo saw it, his complexion changed suddenly, and he urged the guards: "Hurry up!"

When he urged like this, the guards were not happy: "What's the reminder? Are you rushing to reincarnate?"

Before he finished speaking, the bullock cart had rushed to the checkpoint, and the old man shouted: "Yang Shuo, you dare to go to the city and try!"

Several pedestrians around recognized him, and they all stepped forward to salute: "Sir?! Why are you here?"

"This is old Mr. Yang? I'm Li Moumou, meet Mr...."

The old man ignored no one, jumped out of the bullock cart, squeezed away the crowd and rushed to Yang Shuo, huffing and puffing with anger.

Yang Shuo sighed, but when he turned around, there was a frivolous smile on his face: "Oh, father, long time no see."

This person is his father Yang Hui, who is only fifty years old, but already looks like seventy or eighty years old, his hair is all white, he is almost bald, and he is wearing coarse linen and straw sandals, he looks alive and well An old farmer in the countryside, who would have thought that he would be the number one scholar in Cheng Guo.

Only then did the people around know that the young man in front of him was Yang Shuo, one of Mrs. Wang's choices. I saw that he was tall and tall, with a pair of sword eyebrows that were very righteous, but when he smiled, he only raised one corner of his lips, which was full of evil. Such two incompatible qualities coexist perfectly on his face, making him look very attractive.

Everyone was excited and looked at the father and son with piercing eyes.

Yang Hui calmed down for a while, and after he stopped panting, he said, "As long as you go back with me now, all the past will be forgotten."

The arc of Yang Shuo's lips deepened, and he said with a half-smile: "What if the son doesn't? Do you want to sever the father-son relationship with me?"

Yang Hui stared at him, and after a while, he walked to the city gate, sat cross-legged, took out something from his arms, and placed it squarely in front of his knees: "If you take half a step through this gate, I will let this thing Use it immediately."

Everyone took a closer look, it turned out to be a memorial tablet with Yang Hui's name already written on it!

I had heard that Yang Hui hated Yi Shu very much, saying that she was "a promiscuous and enchanting country, a sinner of Cheng!" In order to show her courtesy to a corporal, the queen even visited him in person, but he refused to enter. Now, he even came to prevent his son from running for election in Beijing, forcing him to die.

Everyone turned their eyes to Yang Shuo to see how he would respond, and began to discuss in a low voice: "If Yang Shuo insists on going to Beijing and forces his father to death, he will definitely not be selected."

"Not necessarily. Maybe I will be elected. I heard that the queen herself is also the first emperor..." The voice below gradually became inaudible.

Amidst all the noise, Yang Shuo sighed again and said, "Why bother."

Yang Hui said in a deep voice: "When you were young, I was teaching everywhere. I was too incompetent to discipline you well, and made you grow up to be such a licentious, ungrateful and shameless person. A person like me can teach three disciples. Thousands, there are countless celebrities, and there is no face to talk about educating people. You go back with me today, and I will teach you again.

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd: "Sir, you don't teach anymore?"

"Sir, you must not! There are few Chengguo schools in the first place. If you don't teach anymore, what will the children do?"

"Sir, we will help you stop your son. Mr. Yang, all goodness and filial piety come first. Since Mr. Wang refuses to allow it, it's okay for Mrs. Wang not to choose."

The guard guarding the gate immediately retorted: "How can that be done? Who would dare to disobey His Majesty's orders?"

All of a sudden, the two factions quarreled, and the entire city gate was in a mess. Those who left the city were not in a hurry to leave, and those who entered the city were not in a hurry to enter, they all gathered around to watch the fun. Even people with good intentions heard about it and rushed over to see it.

Yang Shuo glanced around and said, "Father really wants to mobilize teachers like this?"

Yang Hui lowered his eyes and did not answer, put his hands on his knees, and sat upright, as if he was not sitting on the yellow sand, but sitting on a high palace. His thin and small body gave people a great shock.

Yang Shuo turned his head and asked the guard who was still holding his guide, "Have you finished reading?"

The guard was watching the excitement, and when he asked him, he naturally became the focus of everyone. He immediately felt honored, and smiled and handed Lu Yin back: "It's over, it's over. Mr. Yang, I'll return it to you." I want to see if Yang Shuo dares to pass through this city gate.

Yang Shuo put Lu Yin back into his sleeve, and walked towards Yang Hui.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the gate of the city, one step, two steps, three steps... When he was only half a step away from Yang Hui, he stopped.

"Father, you said that if I took half a step through this door, you would kill yourself? Is this true?"

Yang Hui faced Shen Rushuang: "In my life, I have never broken my promise."

"Very good. I hope you will do what you say." After Yang Shuo finished speaking, he walked past him in the next step.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock, they didn't expect this person to dare to enter, so would Yang Hui really kill himself?

Yang Hui's face twitched violently, he picked up the tablet from his knees and held it in his hands, his knuckles turned white from the force.

Seeing that a tragedy was about to happen, Yang Shuo who walked to the city gate suddenly tapped his toes, and flew straight up, grabbed the green bricks on the city gate, and climbed up, but in the blink of an eye, the Climb to the tower.

Yang Hui was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly stood up and looked up.

He jumped into the building, turned his head and whistled at Yang Hui: "Father, my son, I didn't enter the city gate, so you don't have to die. Goodbye!" Jing went.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Never expected that this person actually played such a word game and begged his father. But the city wall is more than ten feet high, and he climbed it as soon as he said it, and climbed it as soon as he said it, which is enough to prove that this person's martial arts are extraordinary.

Everyone felt both amused and admired. Only Yang Hui neither admired nor laughed, but was so angry that his whole body was shaking. Finally, he threw down the memorial tablet bitterly, smashed it to pieces on the ground, and drove away with the ox cart.

The father-son feud was over, and everyone was satisfied and happy after watching it, so they talked about it with more enthusiasm, and it quickly spread throughout Luwan.

***

When everyone went to watch the excitement outside the city gate, Yi Fei had already stood hesitantly in front of the gate for a long time.

It was very hot, and the afterglow of the sun shone on him hotly. At this time, he should have found a cool place to drink a glass of chilled wine to rest, but he changed his face and stood with his long beard. In front of Feng Xiaoya's residence, he wondered whether he should go in, whether he should tell him about Qiu Jiang.

Finally, Yi Fei said in a low voice: "Ji Ying has kindness to the little fox, but no kindness to me. Not only is there no kindness but also hatred, I will not sell his account!" The door rang.

"Please come in." Feng Xiaoya's voice came from inside the house.

Yi Fei opened the door and walked in, and saw him sitting by the bank, holding a rough cloth in his hand, rubbing some small beads. Yi Fei looked at it for a while and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I heard that Qiu Jiang's Buddha bead bracelet is gone, so I want to make it up for her. It's not as good as Zubing, but it's lighter and more beautiful." Feng Xiaoya's voice was very soft, her movements were very gentle, but it was inexplicably irritating. It hurt Yifei's eyes.

The courage that was finally summoned up in Yifei's heart disappeared in an instant. He turned his head and cursed inwardly, then turned his head and asked, "How do you know the bracelet is gone?"

"I ordered people to trace your whereabouts along the way, and found that you stayed in Ruomu Village by the sea. There was a family there, and an old woman and a child died strangely. My people heard from two old men that you did stay there for a short time. When checking the stove, I found the remnants of the Buddha beads."

Yi Fei froze for a long time, and could only sigh in a low voice: "You really have good intentions."

He paces the room.

Feng Xiaoya ignored him and continued to rub the beads, polishing the surface of the beads to be smooth and round.

Yi Fei watched and felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed to the case and pressed Feng Xiaoya's hand.

With a twist of Feng Xiaoya's wrist, she broke free from his grasp, and flicked the back of his hand in reverse: "What for?"

Yi Fei felt that the back of his hand was pricked by a certain needle, and hurriedly withdrew it: "What are you doing?"

"Don't touch me casually, or I will be backlashed." The seven qi in his body are like seven monsters entrenched in his body, fighting with each other endlessly, but when there is an external force, they will attack automatically, so the people who get close Everyone knows this taboo.

Yi Fei blew on the stinging back of his hand, and murmured: "Qiu Jiang in the sea saved you that day, hugged and hugged you, how can I touch you?"

Feng Xiaoya was startled, her eyes flickered, her expression became very strange.

Yi Fei also consciously made a slip of the tongue, let go of his clenched palms, and said in a deep voice, "I want to talk to you."

"Are you talking about Qiu Jiang?"

Yifei braced himself, thinking that such a mother-in-law is really not Lao Tzu's style, so he said it in one breath: "She is not called Qiu Jiang, nor Jiang Jiang. She is Ji Hu, Ji Ying, the son of Bai Ze in Bi Kingdom. sister!"

Feng Xiaoya paused for a moment, but only for a moment, and immediately resumed. He has a pale expression, deep eyebrows, and a naturally unhappy face, so at this moment, Yifei can't tell whether he is sad or not.

"I see."

"You know?" Now it was Yi Fei's turn to be shocked, "When did you know? How did you know?"

Feng Xiaoya raised her head and glanced at him with a calm expression: "As long as you are in Luwan, I know she has chosen Ruyimen. As for her being Ji Hu, you told me just now."

"That, that..." Yi Fei was caught off guard by his reaction, seeing that he was still wiping the beads slowly, he couldn't help saying, "Aren't you going to say something?"

"nothing to say."

"How could it be?" Yi Fei jumped angrily, "The Ji family is the Ruyi Gate, and every wife of the Ruyi Gate is a daughter of the Ji family, so Ji Hu was sent to the Ruyi Gate when he was very young, and stayed in the Ji family and married That Ji Hu of Zhaoyin is a fake! The Ji family is so insane and sinful that they treat all the people in the world as fools and play with the status of the rulers of Cheng, Bi, and Yan...Ji Hu It's not Jiang Jiang at all, she pretended to be Jiang Jiang and approached you just to kill your father so that she could get rid of King Yan's arm and pave the way for Xie Zhixing and Xie Fanyi's plan..."

Feng Xiaoya's face was already very pale, but now it became a little paler, his hands trembled slightly, he couldn't wipe it off anymore, he had to put down the beads, looked back at Yi Fei and said, "Why are you saying these things? "

Yi Fei was startled.

"You want me to hate her? You want to see me in pain?" Feng Xiaoya paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Does it make you feel better when you see me in pain?"

Yi Fei was speechless for a moment. He wanted to refute that he was not that bad, but when he questioned himself, he felt that what Feng Xiaoya said made sense. He chose to fall
