I swear I didn't mean to peek into her privacy,
It was just the moment when I held her hand in the bridal chamber night, I knew that this was destined not the person I wanted to marry.
Today is my wedding with Mu Yao.
Mu Yao is the granddaughter of the current right prime minister and the person who is held by the entire Mu family in the heart.
In my impression, my wife is a weak woman who is breathing and coughing in three steps.
She should be a famous sick beauty in the entire capital. It is said that when she was in the spring, she was raising her carriage in the right prime minister's mansion for a whole month before she recovered.
But today when welcomed the bride , I found that I seemed to have seen her outside the city. Yesterday I saw her wearing a red long gown, holding a long knife, and returning from the city gate, proud and gorgeous in the sun.
may be an illusion.
She wore a phoenix crown and robe, garlands hanging on her necklaces, and big red embroidered shoes to marry into my house.
The whole wedding banquet was very lively. The guests spoke inappropriate blessings, drank wedding wine against their will, and talked about tentative topics. While I was drinking, I dealt with a few more glasses of wine and pretended to be drunk.
After three rounds of wine, it is the time for wedding night.
Pushing open the door, I unexpectedly watched my wife lying carelessly on the bed.
Peanuts and longans all over the floor were sprinkled beside the bed, and the mixed wine that had been drunk was slanted on the table.
The phoenix crown golden hairpin rolled along her hand to the ground, as for the veil...
would be fine if you didn't say it.
I leaned at the door for a long time before finally stepping forward.
took her hand hanging down on the edge of the bed. I tried to cover her with a brocade quilt, but the keen touch of my fingertips told me that
she had a problem.
Why is Mu Yao's hand full of calluses? I have touched the calluses like
in the hands of the second young master of the General's Mansion. It was made by practicing martial arts for a long time with weapons.
But isn’t my wife a lady in the boudoir who never leaves the door?
2
At this moment, she pulled out her hand with great effort and murmured a few words that I couldn't understand.
I have doubts, but in order not to let people gossip, I can only do it for one night now.
At dawn on the second day, I heard a thud and opened my eyes alertly.
Then I found--
My wife fell off the bed.
Only heard her gasp, and then there was no sound.
I secretly opened my eyes to see her. She was sitting on the bed without any etiquette, rubbing temples , and then cursed:
"Drinking is really tm bad thing, what kind of broken wine, so strong the momentum?"
"I'm done now, I have to find another opportunity."
chance? What opportunity?
The morning light outside the window sprinkled in, dispelling a little dimness in the room and reflecting her side face.
's stretched face was a bit sharp, with cheerful and bright eyebrows and eyes, the corners of the mouth were pursed, the collar exposed the white shoulders, and the graceful neckline could be seen. It was very fast. She probably found me sleeping on the couch and didn't say anything again. After
I obviously heard footsteps, coming in my direction.
Before I could react, I heard her say again: "Zhou Jingqi... Fortunately, she is handsome, this wave is not a loss."
...
My mood is only about six points to describe.

When it was bright, the servant hurriedly reported:
"Young master, the wife and the old lady have a quarrel."
My hand shook, and the ink fell on the paper from the pen tip.
The old lady they mentioned was my legitimate mother. My biological mother died when I was ten years old, and then I was raised by my legitimate mother.
Later I realized that my mother, who had nowhere to come, killed my biological mother and used methods to harm my other brothers, leaving only one of the youngest brothers to recuperate in a courtyard outside the city.
is just that the family behind her can still be used by me. Due to this relationship, this revenge cannot be avenged.
The aristocratic families in the capital have deep grudges and the imperial power. Among the powerful families, there are currently three ranks in the Duke of Zhao, the right prime minister's mansion, and the Grand Marshal Liu.
Three families have struggled with each other while joining forces with each other to fight against imperial power by supporting the optimistic princes.
Like my Zhou family, it has only been around for twenty years. To put it nicely, it is a newcomer, but to put it ugly, it is not qualified.
The prime minister’s residence where Mu Yao is located is also a powerful family;
and my legitimate mother is a branch of the Liu family, so I have to endure it.
Even though I know that it is a blessing or not a blessing, I have reached the point where I can’t get rid of my body.
Thinking of this, I could only put down my pen and hurried towards the backyard.
crackling—
The sound of tea and porcelain cup falling to the ground was extremely crisp.
I looked at the person who reported it: "What happened?"
The follower Zhang Xun shook his head: "It was fine at the beginning, but it started to quarrel after serving tea."
The arrogant voice of Mu Yao came from it: "I'm sorry, I'm okay with treating me, I'm respecting tea, it's boring to make things difficult for me."
The legitimate mother knocked on her crutch: "You dare! Don't recognize your identity, the Zhou family is still I have the final say! "
Mu Yao is not showing weakness: "Let's reason, first of all, I understand that you want to give me a warning, so I went down the stairs. But, if you want to splash hot tea on my face, it's your fault. If I don't slap people in the face, let alone you."
"Come on, let's take this ungrateful..."
I speeded up and raised my hand to interrupt the servant who was about to move forward, and also interrupted the words of my mother.
The moment I walked into the door, I saw Mu Yao breathing a sigh of relief. How to describe
? It was probably like a cat with furry relaxing quietly.

"Mom, I have drunk the tea. If nothing happens, we will leave first." I was afraid that the situation would worsen, so I hurriedly said.
After saying that, I took her hand and wanted to take her away. The moment her fingertips touched her, she unnaturally escaped.
But soon she put her hand in my palm again and let me pull her away.
"Stop!" The angrily shout from the legitimate mother came from behind.
Mu Yao and I stopped, and I turned my head to her and said, "Don't talk, I'll do it."
She nodded, hid behind me and lowered her head.
"Mom, the right prime minister sent a greeting this morning. The right prime minister's wife also said that if you have the chance, I would like to talk to the rumors."
"You also understand that it is not advisable to have a frustration with the Mu family at this moment. If you are old, you don't have to worry so much."
The mother of the legitimate mother suddenly froze and turned to speechless.
She probably forgot that Mu Yao had the right prime minister's mansion behind her. In terms of life experience, this direct girl still had to suppress her.
walked a little further, and Mu Yao stopped in the corridor, and the pearls and jade in his bun swayed and disturbed his mind.
She pursed her lips: "Fortunately you come one step earlier."
"Otherwise?"
Mu Yao's eyes lit up, with a little cunning: "Or, I'll tear your house down."
I thought this was a joke at the beginning.
"Why did the dispute start?" I asked.
Mu Yao lowered his head and held the corner of my clothes in his hand, as if he was hesitating.
"Then I said it straight, don't be angry."
When I heard this, I had an ominous premonition, but I still squeezed out a syllable: "Yeah."
She raised her head and curled her lips: "I, a household with difficulty in getting up early, a procrastination patient. 1 I swear I didn't mean to peek into her privacy, It was just the moment when I held her hand in the bridal chamber night, I knew that this was destined not the person I wanted to marry.

She has always been used to being strong in the backyard, and no one has disobeyed her in recent years. Mu Yao is the first one. She sighed, turned right into the room, lifted the bead curtain and quickly put it down: "She doesn't sleep, can I, a young man, not sleep? My father doesn't dare to care about me like this. If she is not satisfied with the person she serves, it's the matter in her yard, don't come and mess with me." I didn't make any noise. When the bead curtain slides down, it crackled and disturbed the tranquility of the room. Seeing that I didn't say anything, she continued to add: "Zhou Jingqi, tell you, I have a bad temper, but I won't spoil her." "Next time I find someone to wear my shoes, I will hold a knife and kill her in the yard and say a bitch is pretentious." I couldn't help laughing, thinking it was a big deal of murder and setting fire: "So, that's that simple?" She frowned, mainly because she was surprised by my indifferent attitude. The graceful blue smoke in the incense burner slowly rose up, blurring her face. I saw her expression go from stagnant to cheerfulness: "If you don't get angry, I will make up for you as a friend." Mu Yao walked up to me and patted my shoulder heavily. She is very beautiful, and there is a tear mole on the corner of her eyes. is like a flaunting and brilliant red peach blossom, blooming in the wind, burning freely. happened to have fruit candy on the desktop, so I turned my head unnaturally and wanted to get one. Mu Yao patted my hand to stop me, and smiled frivolously: "Exclusive secret, one hundred taels per piece." "Is it a bit over?" I paused. She seemed to think it was a bit expensive, and nodded on her own: "That 'cool heart price', 20% off?" My wife is really gentle. She robbed me if she robbed and gave me two candies. 5 Tonight is the Queen's Feast. The Emperor was very happy and held a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers. The queen is the right prime minister and has some connection with Mu Yao. At this moment, Mu Yao in the carriage was closing his eyes and taking a nap, breathing evenly and calmly, which was particularly beautiful. The carriage bumped and her figure shook. Just as her head was about to hit the carriage, I reached out to protect it by chance. I accidentally touched her arm and my pupils shrank unconsciously. lost the cover of the thick palace clothes, and the mottled scars on her arms. new, old, some of them are already stuttering, but the scars are rolling and protruding, which is shocking. Some healed skin can also see unnatural tightness and dark red tear around it. I have seen many such injuries in , and I can see them almost every day when handling cases in Dali Temple . Most of them are serious crimes, and they are just killing and setting fires. "Have you experienced something?" I asked, but the man was still next to my shoulder, just his eyelids moved. Thoughts were floating rapidly, and I was starting to shake a little at this moment. stars are sparse, the thick palace gate opens, the carriage steps into the long bluestone path, surrounded by towering palace walls and tiles. Mu Yao slowly walked off the carriage, staggered a few steps, and I hurriedly hugged her waist. She looked up at me, and her sleepiness had not completely disappeared from her eyes: "Thank you, I'm going back and treat you to candy." Before she finished speaking, someone walked towards me. "Mr. Zhou, I haven't congratulated you on your wedding yet. I was promoted to the post some time ago. It can be said that there are two good things to come." Little General Lu Yu returned to the court today. He is my father's student. When he was young, he was able to attack the enemy all the way, and he was still good at planning. "Hello sister-in-law!" He said sweet-mouthed, and immediately turned around and said to Mu Yao. Mu Yao finally woke up at this moment, and his eyes lit up with excitement: "Little General Lu is right! I heard that your red tassel spear technique is good. I must ask for advice when I have time!" This enthusiasm made Lu Yu unable to fix it, and his eyes twitched. But Mu Yao did not bother him, but instead met someone from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, so he went up to greet him first. "Brother, aren't you married a sick beauty?" Lu Yu hugged his chest and asked in confusion, "Did you get something wrong?" I quickly pulled the topic: "Where is your own marriage?" Lu Yu waved his hand: "Don't mention this, I always feel that they are close to me, and they all have a purpose." My eyes still fell on Mu Yao, but I took Lu Yu's words:
My eyes still fell on Mu Yao, but I followed Lu Yu's words:
"Yes, one day you will meet a girl. She is gentle, generous, considerate and beautiful. She doesn't bother you rude, don't bother you, don't bother you, don't want your house, don't want your money, don't want you."
Lu Yu: "..."
After a while, he said again: "Mr. Zhou, you can't say anything, you can't say anything."

"Zhou Jingqi, why are you walking so slowly?" Mu Yao turned around and waited for me for a few seconds.
approached the hall, music gradually rose, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra floated out from it with the sound of playfulness.
I walked over and she naturally held my arm. I saw a red hairpin on her head falling to her temples, which was shining with the jade earrings. She was petite, but her back was straight.
"What's wrong with your hand?" I pretended to ask unintentionally.
Mu Yao looked down at the scar on his arm and said, "Oh, I accidentally scratched it with a fruit two days ago."
Well, it's a lie, I recognize this kind of injury.
, but I didn't continue to ask.
After entering the hall, the hall was filled with powerful people. During the meal, the palace maids were dressed up and down. The ministers and their families were talking and laughing more wealth and joy than usual.
Mu Yao hummed, "The people here are not right. There are compliments between the lines, but I listened carefully for a long time before I could hear from the cracks of the words. I was full of irony."
I leaned closer to her ear: "Yes, they all hate you, laugh at you, are afraid that you are rich, and think that you are poor. They are not shy and have a lot of scrupulousness. Anyway, when they are mixed in, they only need to grasp three points."
"Smoke, drink, perm your hair?" Mu Yao said casually.
Me: "..."
Suddenly I saw a familiar figure walking towards me in the crowd.
I was suddenly shocked.
Rong Nian, her eyes first fell on Mu Yao, and there was a little obscure and unwillingness.
Then, she looked at me: "My sir, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't wished you a happy wedding."
Rong Nian and I did know each other, but we can only say that we are destined to be together.
At that time, I was not at the forefront of the storm. My body was like a floating cloud and my heart was like a flying catkin. I could take my life if I was careless.
She was just a little girl from the Marquis of Rong'an, carefree, and a woman who was famous for being free and happy in the capital.
The day she met Rong Nian, she happened to be robbed of her money bag by a villain on the street. The horse beside her was frightened and rushed towards their master and servant desperately.
When I passed by, I subdued the bad guys and saved them both master and servant.
Rong Nian gave me a gift, but I just said it was a mere effort and did not accept it. During the period of
, I also met her in the palace several times, but for some reason, rumors spread in the capital, saying that I would propose marriage to her on the day of Rong Nian and the hairpin, and have a double happiness. The rumors later disappeared after
.
Because now, she is already the prince's concubine, lives in the Eastern Palace, elegant and luxurious.
"Well, it's really not seen you for a long time." I tried to smile politely.
"When can I have another drink with Lord Zhou?"
Is this considered a close relationship or a contact?
But this doesn't matter, because everything has become different since she got married.
"No, the concubine should protect herself. It is best not to have anything to do with me. I am already on a cliff and I am always worried. Take care of the concubine."
Rong Nian's smile froze: "Mr. Zhou, do you have to be so unfamiliar?"
After weighing the trade-offs, I took a step back and only smiled and didn't answer.
is better to keep a distance. This hall seems relaxed and lively, with heavier pressure than the rules. The abyss is like ice, and it is hard to transcend the wind.
Rong Nian lowered her head and gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Zhou, I've waited for you."
"It's all over." I laughed at myself.
Mu Yao didn't say anything. After Rong Nian walked away, she chuckled: "Zhou Jingqi, everyone's eyes are full of sight, my private relationship is clear."
I immediately refuted: "No private relationship."
"Did you see what's on my head?" Her eyebrows and eyes were curved.
I don’t understand, so: “Hit hairpin?”
Mu Yao glanced at me sideways: “A green grassland can run away!”
My hand trembled with the wine glass.
"Just kidding, I'm just jealous, don't worry." She added.
My hands holding the wine glass trembled twice.
7
"But I am a cheerful person, so I said it straight. The look she looked at you made me feel uncomfortable,"
My wife had another glass of wine, and I snatched the glass of wine.
After all, I still remember that she drank that way on the wedding day, which was really not good.
Mu Yao wanted to grab my wine glass, but her hands were not long enough and her feet slipped into my arms.
The faint fragrance of flowers on my head filled my nose. The fresh feeling was like the waves of rivers, mixed with the smell of alcohol and slightly drunk, hugging me.
Yu Guang accidentally glanced at Rong Nian's face that suddenly changed color, with obscure, hesitant, and even uneasy in his eyes.
"Give me a glass of wine, don't force me to say it the 15th time." Mu Yao pointed at me shakingly.
"The food hasn't been served yet, drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your health." I refused.
Mu Yao frowned and took a deep breath: "No,"
I was helpless: "Are you young or not?"
She snorted coldly: "This may be a little naive for children, but it is just right for adults."
fallacies.
The palace banquet begins, and the white teeth sing and the thin waist dance. These banquets often eat less and watch more.
Suddenly I noticed the queen's gaze looking here, and Mu Yao also lowered her head keenly, trying to avoid her gaze.
but I can't escape it.
"Mu Yatou's body seems to be a little refreshed, and she can drink a few glasses of wine." The queen suddenly started to speak.
has reached this point, so she had to go forward and bow and make a few polite words.
It is reported that she rarely appears in front of people before getting married, and most of them refuse to show up on the grounds of being ill.
is also because of this layer, and very few people have seen her.
In the end, she was taken back by me, just like that night, unconscious.
In order not to arouse suspicion, I took her to leave the seat early, because it is well known that there is a sick beauty in the Mu Mansion, but now the one in my arms is a cool woman who can remove the roof from the roof and ride a fast horse from the bottom.
is right, and she also said she missed her mouth. The thing she put on the table that day was extremely poisonous.
is a must-have medicine for traveling at home and killing people.
But after I asked a few more questions, Mu Yao had already closed his eyes and leaned on my shoulder without saying a word.
Moonlight is too clear, and it is so beautiful when she sprinkles on her side face.
I couldn't help but secretly fell a kiss on her forehead.
8
Suddenly, a strong smell of blood poured in, and the murderous aura outside the yard surged into the sky.
I stood up alertly and looked out the window.
Oh, it's okay, it's just my wife is stealing people.
She secretly threw the bodies of the masked men out of the wall, so reckless that there was no unnecessary movement.
is right, I just witnessed her murder process, it was an extremely silent fight.
. No one shouted the word "kill", nor did he make a big fuss, he could only fight for his life quickly.
If you want to briefly summarize this battle, it is: Mu Yao surrounded a team of killers alone. Although the hidden weapon arrows sent out were not hit, they could not help but lift the knife and quickly move. The team of people sent were killed under her hands.
The problem is, isn’t she drunk?
If she is pretending, would she just find an excuse to escape my problem?
When she was killing someone, she was extremely calm and her eyes were so cold that they were so cold.
The night wind blew up her temples and poured into her sleeves, allowing her to successfully stop in front of a crabapple flower.
"It's like a solution to the wind," Mu Yao smiled and broke the begonia: "Push the ground with the wind." After
, she stabbed her back accurately into the belly of a man in black who was attacked in the next sneak attack, showing off and confident. The deliberate restraint and cautiousness before
cannot match her agile eyes.
"Go back and tell the master that if this person is killed, I have to kill him. If the prince is anxious, then I will give up the burden."
Recently, the prince's party and the third prince's party have fought no difference. I am indeed standing on the prince's side.
The prince was born by the queen, and the Mufu is the loyal supporter behind the prince.
Have they already noticed something wrong with me?
The man in black spitted blood: "Didn't he say he would do it on the night of the wedding? Why did he keep him?"
Mu Yao didn't answer.
"You must know that if you don't do it, someone else will soon come to take action on your behalf. If you betray the master, you won't end up!"
Her expression flashed: "I said, Zhou Jingqi wants me to kill."
After saying that, she pointed at the surviving man in black with a knife: "Now, get out of my sight."
Finally, the yard returned to tranquility, and the remaining blood was washed away by the sudden heavy rain at night.
with a whine, the door was pushed open again.
Maybe it was because Mu Yao didn’t have blood on his body, and I could no longer smell the smell of blood.
I could feel that she stood in front of my bed and looked down at me from a high place.
Is she ready to kill me?
I picked up the knife that I had prepared long ago.
9
Mu Yao squatted down, very close to me, and the heat from his breath sprinkled on my face.
"How do you think you can sleep at your age?"
She continued helplessly: "Do you know you almost died? Fortunately, I found out early."
Actually, I also discovered it, but I didn't want to speak out, let alone open my eyes.
Countless questions linger in my heart, but there are countless reasons to stop me from asking.
may have broken the window paper between the two, so there is no chance of face-to-face communication between her and I.
Mu Yao lowered his voice: "Forget it, just lie flat."
"You can lie flat, lie on your side, but you are still romantic and elegant anyway."
After a sigh, my lips were printed on it, like a dragonfly, and it was disorganized.
"Strange kiss me tonight, right? We're even now."
...
My mind was blank.
My heartbeat suddenly accelerated. If she strode my pulse at this moment, I will definitely reveal it.
She only had a few short words that made me not fall asleep all night.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xun hurriedly reported: "Young Master, the bodies in the back alley were dragged into the mountains and buried. Last night, a top master seemed to flash. I saw that these killers had good martial arts skills, but they all returned in disgrace."
I put down the book in my hand: "I understand."
Zhang Xun lowered his head: "But young master, even if the prince really wants to rebel, in order to be anxious at this time? I will not hesitate to attack you first."
I knocked on the table: "They are anxious, which means we have stepped on his sore spot. What we are in our hands happens to be his fatal hole."
Zhang Xun thought for a while and asked again worriedly: "Although this time it is a test, it will lead to a second time if the snake is pulled out of the hole. What will the young master plan to do?"
A sleeping beside the pillow, and a group of people were surrounded by internal and external troubles.
is right, what should I do?
I thought for a moment: "Let me check my personal name first, it's Tong Yi."
10
temporarily received a tolerance to go to Shuzhong to investigate the remnants of the rebellion.
The leader of the rebel party in Shu was born in the royal family, so the emperor would definitely not publicize the exposing of family scandals.
Before leaving, Mu Yao asked worriedly: "Zhou Jingqi, you will come back alive, right?"
If it were other official ladies, I would definitely be puzzled why she asked this.
But after witnessing her every move last night, I actually felt it was extremely reasonable.
"Do you want to remarry so soon?" I joked about her.
Mu Yao thought about this issue very seriously and shook his head.
Well, I feel very relieved.
"When you die, I will inherit your legacy and keep a bunch of handsome guys in front of me every day."
"Oh by the way! I can also build a big grave for you and a grand funeral for you, and it will be worthy of your ten-mile red makeup."
The most outrageous thing about her was that she picked up suona very seriously when she said this.
My temple suddenly hurts, and the last string in my mind breaks.
Before she could react, I forced her to the corner and reached out to block her way.
"Inherit my legacy?"
She smiled embarrassedly: "Just... Just kidding, so let you come back alive."
"Give my money to raise another man?"
She couldn't hold her smile: "I admit I'm a little floating..."
I think my face is probably as dark as the sky is gloomy.
Mu Yao suddenly became serious: "Zhou Jingqi, you'd better let go. Do you know how much bewitching you are to me now?"
I was thinking about what she meant, and suddenly she reached out to hook my neck, lowered her eyes, leaned over and leaned her head against my chest.
Although I didn't say a word, I seemed to feel her feeling a little depressed and troubled now.
I raised my hand and gently climbed onto her back, but didn't move for a long time.
If there is the sun now, I will definitely be able to see clearly what kind of dark and turbulent emotions are hidden in those amber eyes.
The weather in Shu seemed to be cooler. When I thought of this, a familiar name suddenly sounded in the street behind me:
"Mu Yao!"
I was shocked. She should be in the capital, why did I hear her name here?
The woman who also called Mu Yao responded quickly: "Zhong Lang, I'm here! I'll go back after buying vegetables."
Who is Zhong Lang?
Has she really gone to raise another man?
I turned around in a panic, and Zhang Xun understood what I meant in one second and looked at the woman.
But... This "comrades the romance" is not the same "comrades the romance".
11
That was a woman who looked so delicate and pitiful. She was walking slowly towards another man with a knitting basket.
She held an umbrella and her beautiful hair was simply tied up. Her pretty face and pale and weak expression were like a weak willow to support the wind.
"Rumor," the man called Zhong Lang hurriedly tightened her clothes, "Didn't he say he was raising them at home today?"
The woman smiled and said, "It's all that I'm worried about you too much. Today I feel better and want to go out for a walk."
The man was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, I can't let you do the same as usual..."
Before he finished speaking, the woman raised her hand and pointed it between his lips: "Didn't you say I won't mention it? I didn't care since I decided to leave the capital with you."
"No matter how luxurious it is, it's just a cage, how can I compare to freedom here?"
I noticed that my vision was a little out of focus, and I didn't come back to my senses until Zhang Xun called me a few times.
"Young Master, did you notice something?"
may be involved in Mu Yao's affairs. I think it is necessary to figure it out: "You go back first, I have something else to do." After
finished speaking, I left Zhang Xun in place and followed them all the way. On the way to
, I also asked an aunt if she knew their origin.
The aunt looked excited and immediately nagged me:
"They seemed to have eloped here. The man bought a house some time ago. The girl was the child of a wealthy family."
I pretended to be surprised: "Can you see this?"
The aunt slapped her forehead and said, "That's not. I can recognize it no matter how depressed I am. I'm very unfamiliar with the hoe, let alone planting flowers."
I spent ten copper plates thanked the aunt, and she also showed me the way.
followed to a slightly dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city. I knocked on the door politely, and the door opened quickly.
The man stepped forward first, looked bad, and asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"
"Zhong Lang, but is someone here?"
The woman walked out and accidentally looked up and saw me, and then suddenly became panicked and uneasy.
Her reaction told me that she knew me.
"It's okay, go in first." The man tried to block her with his body.
But she only hesitated for a moment and pushed open the door: "Zhonglang, let him come in, I know him."
Although the house was dilapidated, it was cleanly taken care of. There were no weeds in the yard and flowers were planted. All the items were suitable for the appearance.
She said she is the real romance.
"Mr. Zhou, this matter is all Mu Yao's fault, and it is also my own idea. It has nothing to do with other people. If you have any grudges, please do not involve others."
A voice called Master Zhou, which successfully made the man beside her frightened and sweated coldly.
I knocked on the table and laughed: "If it really has nothing to do with others as you say, then Miss Mu may not even be able to escape from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone come here."
The real Mu Yao's expression flashed, and his finger joints were white: "Mr. Zhou, I..."
The man standing aside immediately knelt in front of me: "It was my arrangement, and the rosy is also arranged by me, but I truly love Xiaoyao."
If I don't stop him, he can probably kowtow to me.
"Zhong Lang, this is not the case. Don't take everything to yourself." Mu Yao's eyes turned red and he hurriedly said.
My back teeth were a little sore, and I raised my hand to stop them from starting a long speech that was about to express their sincerity.
If true love can block the knife, then how gentle the world should be.
raised his eyelids and looked at the lovers: "I'm here to come, not to pursue this matter. Since you have settled down here, I have no reason to break up."
Mu Yao said, "I know, otherwise Lord Zhou wouldn't come to the door alone.”
The more people know they are here, the less secure they are.
I stood up with my hands and stood up: "Since you have chosen to leave, then don't show up in the capital again."
The two were stunned, with surprise and confusion on their faces.
"Otherwise, it will be bad for the right prime minister, and you and me."
Mu Yao was shaking, but he still insisted: "If Lord Zhou has something to use us in the future, just give me instructions."
I was silent for a moment and shook my head, "No need, you probably won't help what I need."
After I finished speaking, I stepped out of the house.
12
Back to my residence, I did not inform Zhang Xun of this accidental discovery, but only said that it seemed as if I saw a defector.
that day and night, a few people fled in the chaos, and this matter became a knot.
"By the way, I found the person you asked me to check before."
Chapter 111 spread a roll of paper. It is a more famous killer list in the world, and it introduces some killers in it.
According to him, this information is extremely confidential and cannot be bought at a large price at ordinary intelligence points.
After a long journey, I finally got such a volume.
"Tong Yi is this person," Zhang Xun sighed, "She claims to be a master of human body strokes, is good at holding knives, and especially likes to collect kitchen knives. Her current ranking is tenth in the killer list."
I picked up the teacup and frowned and asked, "Why is it tenth? What is the master of human body strokes?"
When I said this, Zhang Xun finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "If the master who is good at using hidden weapons is the arrow Wuxu, then she is the arrow full of arrows, and shooting an arrow is the luck to favor her."
Me: "..."
No wonder that I saw so many hidden weapons in the yard that day, but there was no one on the gangster.
is really good, and the food is also real.
"Why is it that collects kitchen knives?" I asked again.
"According to rumors in the world, this female killer firmly believes that no matter how high the kung fu is, she is afraid of the kitchen knife."
I have no idea what to say.
Suddenly, the Zhang Xun jumped up, as if he had discovered some shocking secret: "Young master, why is this person so similar between his eyebrows and eyes..."
"It's her."
I interrupted him and rubbed his temples.
"Young master, you are crazy, how can this person stay? She must be thinking about taking your life all the time."
"She must be hired by the right prime minister. The real Mu Yao is probably killed. This person is dangerous!"
Zhang Xun stood up, his eyes harsh.
But it's not for this matter.
"Come out! I've come here, why do you still hide?"
I picked up the teacup, shook my hand and threw the porcelain cup out the window. Before it landed, I was shot down by a hidden weapon.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 men in black, all of them were extraordinary. They surrounded us and fought to the death. They were obviously top-notch death warriors.
The guards guarding outside the door have been killed or injured, and the rest have retreated into the room and surrounded them.
"Nearly 90% of the deal was in the hands of this person, and he must take his life at this moment."
The rebels' remnants talked little, and they took ruthless actions. They attacked them with a fatal move. They ignored the knife they were hit on and were determined to fight for a bloody path.
I took Zhang Xun's sword and joined the battle group.
flipped and moved, and the surrounding soldiers fell to the ground one after another, all with swords in their eyebrows and killed them with one blow.
Even so, I was still injured.
The leader saw that the momentum was wrong and tried to evacuate, but was entangled by Zhang Xun.
Chapter Xun happened to subdue the last gangster. He looked around and saw that all the brothers who came with him died on the spot, and he immediately smiled bitterly.
"People only know that General Lu is brave and good at fighting among the new generation of characters, but they don't know that Master Zhou is hidden."
I looked down at the wound: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. If it was true, you wouldn't have the chance to say the last sentence now."
leader committed suicide quickly, and a trace of black blood bleeded from the corner of his mouth.
He probably died with his eyes closed. After being angry, he still stared at the top with resentment.
Zhang Xun checked around again and confirmed that there were no remaining people before turning back. Seeing the injuries on my shoulder and hands,
"This injury..."
I sighed that I was useless: "I haven't taken the sword for too long, I'm a little unfamiliar."
Zhang Xun was stunned: "Didn't you make the last killer?"
"She cooked." I pointed to the portrait on the killer list.
The facial features of the person in the portrait are actually only a few strokes. The essence is that the casual floating lines outline the person's ostentatious beauty.
Chapter Xun looked at the portrait and sighed: "The outline of the eyebrows and eyes is gentle, and the sword will kill all the young men in the world."
Secretly, the Beijing Capital Inspection Department also frequently mobilized to investigate the remaining criminals on a large scale in the capital.
At the same time, a news came out that Dali Temple Minister Zhou Jingqi was assassinated by the rebel party and was seriously injured and was resting in the mansion.
The word "seriously injured" is an exaggeration, mainly fishing.
See if you can catch those people with ill-intentioned undercurrents.
My wife saw me hurt. She was frightened at first, and then she looked mournful:
"I wouldn't say anything to persuade you to come back alive if I knew it."
"I'm sorry, I won't set a flag for you next time." "
"Who knows that I am so sad, what is this crow's mouth saying?"
I paused and said slowly, "I was just injured, not dead."
She cried and stopped, "Yes, I'm sorry I'm too embarrassed to cry too early."
13
I think my face is probably dark at the moment.
"Don't be angry, just kidding." She smiled, looked at the medicine Zhang Xun took and frowned, "You are slow to take effect, I have the best medicine for injury, I will get it for you."
Chapter slowly put down the medicine, looked at me a few more times, his lips moved but he didn't say anything.
I asked helplessly, "What are you worried about?"
He slapped the table and said, "If she put poison into your medicine, wouldn't she succeed?"
Before she finished speaking, the door was kicked open, and an angry voice came in:
"If you want to kill you, you will kill you early, and you still have to choose a life?"
looked up and saw my wife walked in happily and threw the medicine bottle on the table with emotion.
The sound of the medicine bottle hitting the desktop seemed to be filled with anger.
She looked at me condescendingly, her face against the light, and I couldn't see her expression clearly in the darkness.
I picked up the teacup and suppressed a little emotion in my heart: "Zhang Xun, you go out first."
Zhang Xun hesitated.
"We are old acquaintances." I added, "It's very old and old."
Chapter Xun looked at me, then looked at her, and finally silently exited and closed the door.
She walked to me without saying a word, picked up the medicinal wine ointment and clean gauze, and took off the gauze that was stained with blood on her face, wiping away the blood stains.
Only then did I feel the wound on my chest hurting hotly and I couldn't help but hum in my mouth.
Maybe I let out a muffled groan, and the movements in her hands slowed down a little, but the expression on her face remained unchanged.
"This medicine is not easy to get." I broke the silence.
She snorted: "The Right Prime Minister's family is a big business, what can't be done?"
I looked into her eyes: "You know what I'm talking about. The bottle of bone-scraping healing powder next to me cannot be used or bought."
Of course, except for those killers who live and lick blood at the tip of a knife and have a moment of life and death.
She paused, and she turned her face away, as if she was forcibly stopping the emotions coming up.
This is the first time I have spread it out in this period of time. It is like we all know something, but we still pretend that it does not exist.
old accounts are re-reported because they have never been properly resolved.
She held my hand and lowered her head to escape my gaze: "You move again, and you will bleed again later. If you are injured, you will be recuperated for a few days before coming back. She rushed back in a hurry, and didn't know what she wanted."
"I want to see you."
clearly said such shameless words, but I still said them.
She looked at me with her arms, and even felt a little funny: "Zhou Jingqi, you will really make me think you will like me like me."
I glanced at her lightly, reached out and quickly pressed her shoulder to hold her back, held her with the other hand, pressed her backhand against the wall, and pressed her tightly.
Before she could react, she struggled subconsciously, her eyes full of panic and defense.
Temperature, breath, breath, are all hot.
"You are crazy, wound!" The more she struggled, the more I wanted to use force.
I lowered my head and stopped a few inches away from her skin between her neck: "What if I say yes?"
This sentence successfully made her stunned for a moment. All the words I wanted to question me were stuck in my throat and I couldn't spit out a syllable.
In the room where most of the light was hidden, I could still see her reaching out and touching my face tentatively.
, one cold and one hot, the extreme contrast made me and her tremble at the same time.
The atmosphere has been in a stalemate for a long time.
I let go of her wrist, then smiled, just pretending that nothing had happened.
The vigilance in her eyes faded away in an instant, and she seemed to have become the casual person again.
"Zhou Jingqi," she gritted her teeth and pushed me away, gently poured the medicine on my wound,
"I, Tong Yi, owed you in my previous life, you are about to die, I can't let you go." When the medicine powder was sprinkled on the cracked scar on the floating scar, my body trembled. Although I didn't make any pain, cold sweat was seeping on my forehead and back. After bandaging it, she finally shook my face:
"What did I say before? If we want to separate one day, please give me a reason openly. Don't fool me with those bastard words, otherwise I will hate you for the rest of my life."
"You're fine, leave without saying a word. When I find you, you're going to marry someone else!"
I didn't answer her words, but instead held her hand and rubbed the wound on her arm.
"New injury? Which fruit knife is scratched by this?"
Tong Yi raised his hand and said, "It's just a scratch."
I rolled up her sleeves and said, "What about these? So many wounds are scratches?"
Her eyes flashed: "Is it pretentious? Unless life and death, it's all abrasions."
14
"Don't talk about the topic."
Tong Yi shook my hand away, looking like he was going to draw a clear line with me.
"You said you would marry me, you said you would wait for me, you liar."
"Do you know how much your head on your neck is worth? At that time, I saw the bounty and took it away without saying a word. Who knew it was you Zhou Jingqi. If I had known, I would have killed you and then left with the money."
I joked with her: "Then come on, I won't fight back, I'll kill you, you'll see if you want to kill and cut it."
Tong Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and took out a kitchen knife from behind: "It's my wish."
The kitchen knife was obviously stolen from my kitchen, and the unique words Zhou Mansion were engraved on it, and the sharpness flashed into my eyes.
cough, I was careless.
play with it.
Just as she came over, I took her arm while she was caught off guard.
Immediately afterwards, the knife in her hand was taken by me and threw it out of the window. She fell into my arms with the force of my hand.
"Don't force me to kill you." Tong Yi was both embarrassed and annoyed.
I bent down to look at her, and my arms supported her side. Just thinking about it would be clear how ambiguous the posture was.
She also looked at me and swallowed: "To be honest, are you afraid of what I did to you?"
was joking, and she had a knife, and there was nothing else that couldn't be done...
The next second, she kissed my lips.
is different from the frivolous and jokes before, this time it is a little revengeful, just like venting years of unwillingness.
breathing is heavy.
The light and people in front of me were filled with mist, and everything around me could not be seen clearly.
The only thing you can feel is the heat and affection in your whole body.
I kicked back to the back of her head, deepened the kiss, as if I had found the outlet for my emotions, and then I started to give up.
"Tong Yi," I turned my head, "If this continues, are you afraid that I will do to you?"
She lowered her eyes, her emotions were complicated.
I reached out and grabbed her back, took her in front of me, held her head, and let her lean against her shoulder.
After a while, she slapped my back hard: "If I reason with you, you will be a hooligan; if I act like a hooligan, you will be a reason with me!"
I was unprepared and coughed a few times, but I still felt the tears on my shoulders.
"Don't cry, no one wants the water-filled pork." I patted her comfortably.
She gritted her teeth and said, "But you can press the scale."
15
At night, Tong Yi walked out of the kitchen.
Lift your fingers and blood fell to the ground.
My eyes twitched wildly, and I was shocked and angry: "What are you doing?"
She hesitated for a while, and looked at the fried eggs in the pot: "Cooking, it's not done well."
I was helpless: "If you don't know, you thought you were a relative with a pig."
She glared at me: "Don't do this, I really thank you."
I bandaged her while teasing her: "No need to thank you, you deserve it."
Tong Yi couldn't cook, and successfully added another piece of her scarred hand.
I smiled and said, "Go out and have a lantern festival tonight. Don't you like the funniest?"
Tong Yi nodded repeatedly and took out a few copper plates from his pocket: "Let's go, I'll treat you tonight."
"So generous?"
"Of course, I have saved a lot of money over the years." She nodded slightly.
I nodded: "That's right, the master of human body stroke."
Tong Yi was successfully choked, but silently picked up the kitchen knife again.
"Look at me, can you cut you with one knife?"
On the streets of the capital, all kinds of colorful lanterns compete for beauty, and the people watching the lanterns came out in full swing, rushing and rushing.
The lights pull our shadows very long, and the tops blend together, and we can no longer tell each other.
She suddenly accelerated her pace and jumped onto my back.
was caught off guard and staggered a few steps, and I almost couldn't hold her back.
I pretended to be angry: "Tong Yi, you are so brave, right? What should I do if I can't handle you?"
But she didn't care and pointed to the shadow on the ground: "Look, our shadows are integrated now."
At first, two figures of one front and one back on the ground were cast on the ground, and then it became a ray. My heart was inexplicably dripping with a beat.
"The fireworks are beautiful, that is the fire that spreads." Tong Yi pointed to the fireworks in the sky, "I'm... dead without regrets."
I immediately interrupted her crow's mouth: "What nonsense is it."
She snorted disdainfully: "Is Lord Zhou also a love species? Don't you say you have no feelings. As expected, the rumors are all infatuated, but the reality is all unfaithful."
Hearing this sentence, I stumbled on my chest: "Let's separate for a few years."
A few years sounded scary, but in fact, when the wind blew, nothing was left.
"Yeah." She responded, but never said anything again.
I turned my head and saw her smile as before.
All this is as beautiful as...
The stars that are whitewashed under the night sky.
16
Calm days come quickly and go quickly.
One day a woman in palace clothes appeared in my mansion, and she walked towards me slowly. With a long skirt and wide sleeves, she was wearing bright red clothes, and a wide cloth covered with silk flowed long on the jade bridge. When she looked closely, she was Rong Nian.
She has lost her youthfulness when she first met and has a bit more charm, especially when her head is full of gold and jade.
"Jingqi," she smiled before walking towards me, "We're still meeting."
I took a step back: "Concubine, what's the matter here today?"
Rong Nian frowned, as if dissatisfied with my unfamiliar name for her.
I looked at the palace servant behind her. I should indeed keep a distance in this kind of occasion.
Rong Nian slowly raised his hand: "Of course, I'll give you a surprise."
The palace servant behind her received the order and immediately brought a woman tied up tightly.
The woman had messy temples, her face turned pale like a ghost, her lips were bloodless, and her eyes were shattered.
I was shocked for a moment, but the surface still pretended to be unlucky.
I naturally recognize who she is. I only met in Shuzhong last time.
"Would you like to guess who she is?" Rong Nian chuckled, "For the sake of our many years of knowing each other, I would like to give you a reminder that it has something to do with the person next to you."
Mu Yao.
I hardly have to think about it, my eyes fell on the woman kneeling on the ground.
She was already sick, and Rong Nian and the prince's people would definitely not treat her well. This is to make people die.
I pretended to be confused: "I don't understand what you mean."
Rong Nian's lips curled, as proud as if he had grabbed my handle:
"No, you understand, but you don't want to admit it."
"I understand you, if you don't understand, you won't be so calm. Agree, you think you are sure to win, but in fact you haven't figured out what's going on now."
The weather today is a bit dark, as gloomy and irritable as my mood.
I walked over her and squatted in front of the woman and asked in a low voice, "Rong Nian, do you think you understand me?"
"Well... why doesn't it count?" She pointed at the woman behind her back, "She is the one you were going to marry that day! She is Mu Yao!"
I was silent, just helping Mu Yao take her pulse, but fortunately the situation was not bad.
Rong Nian sneered and turned around to question me, "Then the question is here, who is the person next to you?"
"Zhou Jingqi."
Suddenly someone called my name from behind. I turned around and saw that Tong Yi was back.
She really shouldn't have appeared at this time.
My heart trembled for no reason. I was afraid that she would misunderstand, so I wanted to explain, but she stopped me.
Her eyes quickly fell on Rong Nian and said meaningfully, "The mansion is so lively today."
"You go back first, I'll deal with it here." I said word by word.
Tong Yi nodded and walked away.
Rong Nian did not give up and shouted loudly: "Wait, don't Mrs. Zhou want to know who the woman kneeling on the ground is?"
Tong Yi successfully paused.
I thought she would also ask me who this person is and why she appeared in the mansion, but no.
Tong Yi was calmer than I thought, she just chuckled.
laughed like a bell, making Rong Nian and I a little confused.
"Your ex, your fiancée," Tong Yi pointed to Rong Nian and Mu Yao, and then pointed to herself, "And I, the current employee, gathered together, Zhou Jingqi, your Shura field is really not ordinary bloody."
Me: "..."
The scene is getting more and more outrageous.
Ex-boy, current person, the real person to marry, stew it all in a pot.
17
Theoretically, there is no text that can describe my messy heart at this moment.
But one thing I'm very confused about is why Tong Yi's eyes are a little bit...
is looking forward to it.
I ignored Rong Nian for the first time and turned to look at her: "You seem to be very happy?"
Tong Yi changed her face seriously in one second. Even so, the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be suppressed.
"Did I behave very obviously? It's normal for the first time to watch it, it's normal to be a little excited."
I raised my hand and grabbed her waist and asked in her ear, "Are you not jealous this time?"
She thought for a while, nodded and shook her head,
"I'm still jealous at this time? Of course I'm happier to watch the show."
I finished speaking first: "I know that the lady in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion will run away from marriage, but your appearance disrupted my plan."
Tong Yi widened his eyes, and his beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.
I originally wanted to find the real Mu Yao to threaten the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and add a little bargaining chip to the prince's fall.
The prince secretly colluded with the rebels in Shu, and cheated in the spring of the school, and bought and sold official positions, and the right prime minister's mansion deceived his superiors and subordinates...
every piece is in my calculations.
But then Tong Yi appeared, and I chose to let them go and make other plans.
"But I didn't expect that Mu Yao was found by them. This matter was probably done by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion with the prince on his back, but now it's being held by the prince."
She lowered her eyes and whispered lightly: "Actually you have done it, right?"
I patted her back: "What I want to say is that you don't need to use a knife after a while, the blood flowed and dirty your hands on the spot."
"That's fine, just do whatever you say." She smiled and said to me meaningfully, "Oh, by the way, if you dare to cheat, be careful of your head."
Me: "..."
"The only things that can green me are funds and stocks. Men, don't even think about it."
"By the way, have you forgotten Rong Nian?" Tong Yi reminded me.
Maybe Tong Yi and I lowered our heads and talked too close, which turned into a slight slutty ears and were intimate in Rong Nian's eyes.
Rong Nian's expression was indescribable: "Mr. Zhou, your wife seems to have recognized who she is."
"Just tell me directly," I took a few steps forward, "What do the concubine wants?"
This was exactly what she wanted, and Rong Nian smiled confidently.
"How come you think so? I don't want anything."
"You know, this is not a big deal for me."
"I'm going to put this in my words today," Rong Nian stood up straight and raised her airs, "You can only choose one between them."
gives me a choice?
I don't like making choices.
If you choose Mu Yao, Tong Yi will hand it over to her;
If you choose Tong Yi, there will be no room for maneuver after this matter is exposed.
"Please choose one, whether it is good or bad, Lord Zhou can measure it clearly in his heart." Rong Nian urged me.
I spoke slowly: "If you know whether it is good or bad, then it is not a choice.”
Rong Nian thought he was sure to win: "It seems that Lord Zhou has made a choice."
Someone suddenly poked me behind my back. When I looked back, Tong Yi looked at me with some concern, his face turned blue.
I held her hand and tried to comfort her, but found it was so cold.
I turned around and continued, "Do you know about this when you do it?"
"They don't know. If they know, they will never let you do this."
Rong Nian's hand clenched unconsciously and hummed softly: "Someone will report to the prince's prince, you won't have to worry about it."
I smiled, it seems that she doesn't understand what I mean.
If Mu Yao’s incident cannot be hidden, the substitute will be exposed and the secret of escaping marriage will be made public. At that time, everyone in the capital will know that the Right Prime Minister’s Mansion has found a fake eldest daughter to fool the marriage contract.
The prince and the right prime minister’s mansion are grasshoppers on the same rope, prospering and losing.
is now a critical moment, and you can’t make a mistake in any move.
As for the Zhou family, this engagement was just a move by the emperor to use me to restrain the princelings.
I was too lazy to explain: "Let's do this, I'll just say it. If someone stays, the concubine can leave first."
Mu Yao I stayed, and Tong Yi would not hand it over.
selection?
I said I don’t like making choices.
18
"You! Lord Zhou, this is unreasonable." Rong Nian pointed at me, his fingers trembling a little.
I pretended to be indifferent: "This matter will be suppressed in the end, so let's just take my favor."
"What are the benefits of me?"
Benefits? The advantage is that can she sit in this position for a while longer?
I am not without scruples. If the Right Prime Minister’s Mansion doesn’t want the prince to hold the handle, the biggest possibility is to let Mu Yao return to Beijing and sit back to her original position.
Tong Yi... There is a high probability that he will fall into a dangerous situation.
When talking about Tong Yi, her face turned pale, as if she had noticed something was wrong.
I think something is wrong with Tong Yi, and I don’t want to continue chatting, so I just gave up:
"How much do you know about the activities behind the prince? Otherwise, we will kill him and be deposed, your family will be implicated, and I will suffer a little loss. What about losing an official?"
Rong Nian glanced at me deeply.
Before leaving, she kicked down the newly planted potted plant in my yard.
When this little farce dispersed, Mu Yao bowed to me: "Mr. Zhou, you have been implicated. If there is a next life..."
I quickly stopped her: "No need to say such illusory words. If you have the heart to say this, why don't you think about how Rong Nian found you."
Mu's family has always been clean in doing things, so how could it be lost?
And I was even more afraid that she would say anything and say something like saying something about her body, and Tong Yi was thinking about it again.
After all, I don’t have much left in my kitchen knife.
"Mr. Zhou, your wife doesn't seem to be very good." Mu Yao was caught off guard and reminded me.
"Zhou Jingqi..." Tong Yi called my name weakly, his face suddenly became ugly, pale and bloodless.
I turned around and my pupils shrank.
She staggered a few steps, finally held the fence of the pavilion and spit out a mouthful of blood, and coughed heavily.
The black blood suddenly popped out of the corners of the lips, the blue and black visible to the naked eye on the face, and the breath was shallow and rapid.
I immediately picked her up and called someone to invite the doctor.
"No, things have changed. Mu Yao cannot appear in front of the prince. You send her back to the right prime minister's mansion." Tong Yi turned his head and said to Mu Yao, "Your father knew that I couldn't kill Zhou Jingqi, so he regretted it. He didn't plan to let you go."
Mu Yao took a few steps back in surprise, his lips trembling.
I tried hard to squeeze out a few words: "Don't talk first, let's talk about this later."
hurriedly wiped the blood from the corner of Tong Yi's mouth, and I was so panicked that I could hardly think.
Actually, I have always been so scared, I even wondered... Should I not have it from the beginning.
The evening wind seemed to have thorns, making my throat hoarse and my heart hurt.
"Listen to me!" Tong Yi spoke hard and coughed a few more times, "Now, go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the matter needs to be resolved there."
I know this matter is not easy to calm, but I didn't expect this hurdle to come so quickly. On the carriage, Tong Yi held out and smiled: "I want to die with you a little."
I was furious and hysterical: "If you can't speak people, you can't say it!"
Tong Yi also agreed: "Yes, I shouldn't say it. The best ending is to end all this quietly."
bastard.

"A rare guest." The right prime minister Mu Jian smiled with a false kindness and righteousness, as if he had expected all this long ago.
Mu Jian is about fifty years old, his temples are gray, and he has a straight rectangular face, but he smiles more scheming and cunning.
His eyes fell on Tong Yi and he sighed, "I am very disappointed. I think Miss Tong should succeed, why did she lose her head? Then the antidote cannot be handed over to the girl."
I also guessed from his words: "Mu Jian, what did you do?"
His smart and calculating eyes looked at me, with unconcealed desires inside.
As for the Buddhist beads on his hand, it made me feel even more disgusted.
Some people worship gods. To put it nicely, they seek hope, and to put it badly, they are desires.
Mu Jian waved his hand, and all the servants left the study room, and the huge study room was mixed with blood and sandalwood smell.
"At the beginning, Mu Yao needed someone to marry, so I chose a killer. Anyway, I have long regarded you as a great enemy, so I will get rid of you by the way. At that time, I will blame the third prince on the grounds that I lost my son-in-law and daughter at the same time."
"I am afraid that the killer I hired will turn back, so I have to use some tricks. You won't notice that those things wrapped in candy paper are just pills that can temporarily suppress toxicity. Didn't she tell you?"
"No, how could she tell you? Look at her eyes, it's all about feelings."
A drop of hot tea hit the back of my hand, Tong Yi coughed a few times, and struggled out of my arms.
She stood in front of me and picked up the knife, aiming the blade at Mu Jian: "One to change, it's not a loss."
Mu Jian's hand shaking with the Buddhist beads, but he still pretended to be calm:
"If I kill me, Tong Yi can't live. Zhou Jingqi, Zhou Jingqi, I really can't figure out what you have. It's cruel and vicious, and it's cunning. It has no advantages except for a face."
My hand was clenched unconsciously.
"Of course, Lord Zhou has another choice now."
He turned around and his abacus was very loud:
"Let my husband's daughter return to your Zhou family. She is your Mrs. Zhou, and this fake guy will never appear again."
I was almost angry and laughed. The old fox repented. He originally wanted to let his daughter go, but later he found that the risk of this matter was too great, so he tied her back to Beijing with Rong Nian's hand.
First, Mu Yao won’t hold a grudge against him, and second, he can find a way to control me.
"Of course, you are the son-in-law of our Mu family. As compensation, I guarantee that you will rise to the top and rise in the future."
Draw me a cake?
"Impossible," I almost refused at the first time.
The old fox smiled sinisterly: "That antidote, or Zhou Jingqi, you can only choose one this time."
"You are hiding very well. If it weren't for the people in Shu who told me about your skills, I would like to find a few more killers. Now it seems that there is no need. The only one who can kill you is Tong Yi, except her. "
"Shut up, old fox," Tong Yi turned around and pushed me back with all his might. "Idiotic."
I was unprepared and staggered a few steps back. Just as I was about to step forward, I was aimed at Tong Yi's throat.
I looked at Tong Yi, her eyes were filled with begging, and I understood her lips.
roll.
She asked me to get out.
is concise and concise.
20
The blade aimed at my throat, and its owner stood with difficulty.
Tong Yi smiled miserably, as if he was enduring great pain: "I knew I would have such mental preparations a long time ago, so you don't have to worry too much for me."
I reached out and held the blade and took it to the direction of my chest, letting it cut through my palm, and blood flowed.
This action scared Tong Yi quickly threw away the knife, and his hands were trembling in dismay.
This time, her eyes changed again when she looked at me, as if she was watching crazy criticism.
Mu Jian looked at me like a vulture staring at the rotten meat. He was sure that I would not go out from here today.
He is probably right.
"Mr. Zhou has thought about it. This poison has reached the late stage. After walking out of this door, Miss Tong's life will not be guaranteed. I will let you lose your official position and return home tomorrow and destroy everything you have done."
This old fox is forcing me.
My head was blank. I picked up the knife on the ground and handed it to Tong Yi: "Do it, do what you should have done."
Bang-
Tong Yi slapped me, and the crisp sound made me no longer hear anything else.
The face was so painful. If she had kept the strength to stab me, it would probably be fine.
"Get out, Zhou Jingqi, who do you think you are? Why do you control my decision?"
"You have calculated every day, are you tired? Is it interesting to live like this?"
, why are you tired? Why are you tired? You are tired when you look at this? Why are you tired? You are afraid of losing the other person, and you are in trouble when you advance and retreat.
But I didn't stop, just put the knife in her hand:
"Don't cry, you should be happy. If you make you unhappy because of meeting me, then I would rather never show up."
"I told you at that time that I only wanted to have a career and not a relationship. These words are false. This is an excuse for me to speak out. I don't want you to leave me either. My future and you have planned, and I am also walking step by step, but it's a bit slow. I want to ask you to give me some time."
"But there is no time now, so I will leave first this time. If you are unhappy and wronged in the future, just look for me, maybe I will not be there. In the end, I love you, but I just didn't at the right time."
I don't know what I am talking about, I just talk nonsense.
I don’t know if Tong Yi understood it, but I said all of this anyway.
"Zhou Jingqi, why did I get into your love brain?"
Tong Yi took my knife, his words were already a little vague, but tears still didn't shed.
"After I leave, you leave, help me drive away this annoying old guy, and then scatter the ashes..."
I realized that it was not good, but the movement was not as fast as her!
Her blood flowed more than I had in my hands, and the blade was aimed at herself in the end...
In an instant, only black and white were left in the world, and the blood flowing from her body.
I feel as if I am dead.
I looked at Mu Jian, and he took two steps back in fear in an instant: "I have never instigated her to do this..."
The violent wind outside the window blew open the window, the wind blew out the candle, and the falling raindrops extinguished the sandalwood in the incense burner.
In an instant, there was only death silence left in the whole room.
I picked up her body: "Mu Jian, your good days are over."

"Tong Yi's Perspective: Those Years of Being a Human Stroke Master"
1
This is the sixteenth year I have worn books.
Everyone calls me the human stroke master, because in this book, I have never been hit by the archery and hidden weapon, either flying over my hair or wiping my clothes.
But I still made it to the killer list with my strong strength. I will do whatever the task is more bounty.
But I met a very tricky employer. He, the old fox, actually asked me to promise me that I would give me another poison.
Seeing that he gave too many points, I gritted my teeth and answered. He promised that he would give the antidote after the matter was completed and he would double the bounty.
3200 Two golds, do you dare to think about it?
My salary reached 3200 taels of gold at a young age, which I didn’t dare to think about before.
I took the poison and found out that the person I was going to kill was Zhou Jingqi.
’s white moonlight!
was sloppy. I thought I could get the antidote in two days, but now I have to spend some time.
I went back to find my master, and he was so angry that he punished me to kneel for half an hour.
I thought he would say that I shouldn’t betrayal and be loyal to my employer, but he called me stupid and said that I shouldn’t hand over my life to others.
I admit that when I heard 3200 taels of gold, my reason disappeared without a trace.
"You pretend to die, and I will ask your two senior brothers to replace you." My master stroked his beard and said angrily.
Everything develops according to the normal script, and the biggest surprise is that Zhou Jingqi wants to commit suicide. In the case of
, I can save it if I die. If his stupid child dies, he will be powerless to turn things around.
In the end, there was no way, so I could only stab myself.
I wouldn't have poked myself so deeply if I had known it. I wouldn't have poked Zhou Jingqi so hard if I had known it.
His handsome face is heartbreaking every night when I think of it.
2
I got angry again when talking about this. That day, my waste brothers found the wrong mourning hall.
If my master hadn't had quick eyes and quick hands, I would have been in heaven now.
After discovering that the wrong person was changed, they foolishly put the wrong body back into my original coffin.
So, I still don’t know who was buried in the grave that Zhou Jingqi set up for me.
Part of the reason why I don’t go back to find him is because of this killer list. Compared to
, I prefer the title of "The Big Brother" on the list.
But the first one is my master, the second and third ones are my two senior brothers, I can only spend more time.
In the end, it took me three years to retire my master and I successfully got promoted.
Of course, a bigger reason is that I can know as soon as possible who will be unfavorable to Zhou Jingqi.
Three years later, I went back to see him and found that an old fox named Mu Jian was gone.
is the kind that the whole family is gone.
The prince is no longer there. It is said that he intends to rebel. He committed multiple crimes overnight. Not only was he deposed, his name almost lost. Rong Nian also went crazy. She couldn't stand the feeling of falling from a superior to a prisoner overnight, and now she is missing.
The situation in the capital has changed a lot. I asked Dali Temple Minister Zhou everywhere, but found that there was no such person.
I panicked, no, he was going to commit suicide, right?
Facts prove that I was thinking too much, he was just promoted, and he had to change his words to Lord Zhou of You in the future.
Everyone says that a successful man’s dream is to get promoted and make money and die.
Zhou Jingqi did it all.
Let us congratulate Lord Zhou.
3
I just don’t know if he will pay attention to me if I go back to find him.
But he loves me so much, sure...
He saw me for the first time, and the door closed with a bang, and I was disappointed.
I squatted on the street and thought for an hour but couldn't figure out what was going on?
Zhou Jingqi, I don’t believe in evil anymore. Could it be that I always say that I like me, but I pretend?
Or should I not have tried my best to marry him back then?
So I went to Zhou Mansion more frequently, three times a day, seven days a week, and even nineteen six is not as diligent as me.
It seems that Zhou Jingqi didn't see me. He went to court when he should go to court. He criticized the official documents when he should be criticized, and criticized the person who should be criticized.
The most overwhelming thing is that I used the kitchen knife I collected over the years to set him a table of good dishes, but he was just caring about drinking.
What is the best way to drink from the soft wine in Beijing?
My cooking skills have improved a lot over the years. My master nodded every time he said that I passed the exam.
But he was indifferent. On the day of rest, he only knew that he had no expression on his face to get himself drunk.
Then after getting drunk,
shouted my name with red eyes.
4
Maybe I just don’t exist in his heart.
The new maid from Zhou Mansion did not recognize me, so I happened to ask her: "Have you Lord Zhou always been so cold?"
"After the wife passed away three years ago, Lord Zhou was like this. She lived in a daze, but she could only say she had no soul."
The little maid looked around when she said this, for fear that someone would hear it.
I squatted down and signaled her to squat down, "Then he is not going to re-string?"
"Maybe there is, it is said that I have been talking recently." The little maid sneaked up to my ear, "There are rumors that he has never found a very similar wife to her."
I: "..."
Oops, someone has become my substitute.
"What kind of rumors are broken, talking nonsense." I knocked her on the head and gave her a handful of copper.
"Okay, I can buy candied haws at the Lantern Festival tonight!"
The little maid continued to work happily. I suddenly envied her heartlessly.
Forget it, the lantern festival three years ago has become a vulgar one and it is very lively every time.
The streets are full of gorgeous lanterns, like a long string of pearls embellishing the night.
The crowd of people watching the lanterns were lively, and they were playing and laughing. The changes in the court seemed to have nothing to do with this place.
Everyone should eat and drink, and the moon is in the sky and the silk and bamboo orchestrals are still constantly.
I walked through step by step, my steps did not stop at all, and I didn’t know where to put my eyes.
is just a little numb.
Light and shadow, light and darkness, people's conversations come, interlacing into the cicadas like summer cicadas.
light pulled my shadow for a long time, and I stopped and couldn't help looking at this lonely black shadow.
fake and free.
I scold myself.

Suddenly there was a riot in the crowd, and a frightened horse rushed towards me with a carriage.
The air is filled with dust and soil, and the noise of crowds from all directions is flying everywhere.
I knew I should hide, but suddenly I didn’t know who hugged me. In a dizzy way, I arrived on the side of the road.
looked up and didn't recognize him.
The one who saved me was a stranger.
"Thank you," I smiled at the handsome man, "How do you want me to repay you?"
The man was very gentlemanly: "It's a simple task, be polite, I don't know where the girl lives, I can..."
But before he finished speaking, my wrist was pulled by a heavier force and pulled back.
I fell into my arms, and vaguely, I could still hear the chaotic heartbeat.
is probably my own.
"Thank you, my wife, this young master is worried."
The sound of emotion sounded, Zhou Jingqi held my hand very hard, and I could even see the blue veins on it.
Zhou Jingqi lost weight.
His always cold face looked annoyed, his ears were red, and he was a little more rare. The man in front of
knew that he couldn't get it right next, so he walked away politely.
As soon as Zhou Jingqi turned around, I crashed into his amber eyes, even in the backlight environment, it was still clear.
"He just hugged you."
His voice was hoarse and forbearance, and my back froze and gasped.
After a while, I tried to explain: "I saved me by chance, it's okay."
"He just hugged.........you."
is wrong, something is wrong, what is he talking about?
For the first time in my life, I explained something, but I was so troubled that I was on the battlefield.
I pulled over the collar of his clothes and bit my teeth: "Don't you not be able to see me? Don't you think I'm a ghost?"
The distance between the two suddenly narrowed.
His breathing was a little heavy, his thin lips were tightly pursed.
"I'm afraid that I'm having hallucinations."
This, so when he saw someone saving me, he realized that I was alive?
is outrageous.
Then he slowly said, "I have been seeing similar scenes in the past three years, and I can't tell the difference."
He really, I cried to death.
"And I remember your cooking is not as delicious as it is." He added.
Puff, the tears I was about to fall, so I held them back.
I poked his chest: "Sir should treat you with admiration for three days, let alone I have been three years, so I have made great progress long ago, okay?"
He grabbed my other hand: "You know for three years, too?"
...
I broke free from his shackles, held his back with both arms, and hugged him tightly.
He slowly stretched out his hand and strengthened the hug: "I recognized it in my dream."
"Bring me back." I stood on tiptoe and said in his ear.
Zhou Jingqi certainly won't reject me.
I began to tease him: "The little maid in your backyard said that you have lived without souls in the past few years."
He walked very steadily and answered me: "Yes, I lack a soul."
I fluttered on his back and said with a smile: "So I'm back!"
"Yes, I'm on the verge of the ghost now." Zhou Jingqi said indifferently.
I have my head turned off for you or not?
took a few steps, and when the shadows under the light merged again, I was thinking that
meeting is not lucky,
reunion is the one.
- End -
□ Inkshui
"Hello sister-in-law!" He said sweet-mouthed, and immediately turned around and said to Mu Yao.
Mu Yao finally woke up at this moment, and his eyes lit up with excitement:
"Little General Lu is right! I heard that your red tassel spear technique is good. I must ask for advice when I have time!"
This enthusiasm made Lu Yu unable to fix it, and his eyes twitched.
But Mu Yao did not bother him, but instead met someone from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, so he went up to greet him first.
"Brother, aren't you married a sick beauty?" Lu Yu hugged his chest and asked in confusion, "Did you get something wrong?"
I quickly pulled the topic: "Where is your own marriage?"
Lu Yu waved his hand: "Don't mention this, I always feel that they are close to me, and they all have a purpose."
My eyes still fell on Mu Yao, but I took Lu Yu's words:
My eyes still fell on Mu Yao, but I followed Lu Yu's words:
"Yes, one day you will meet a girl. She is gentle, generous, considerate and beautiful. She doesn't bother you rude, don't bother you, don't bother you, don't want your house, don't want your money, don't want you."
Lu Yu: "..."
After a while, he said again: "Mr. Zhou, you can't say anything, you can't say anything."

"Zhou Jingqi, why are you walking so slowly?" Mu Yao turned around and waited for me for a few seconds.
approached the hall, music gradually rose, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra floated out from it with the sound of playfulness.
I walked over and she naturally held my arm. I saw a red hairpin on her head falling to her temples, which was shining with the jade earrings. She was petite, but her back was straight.
"What's wrong with your hand?" I pretended to ask unintentionally.
Mu Yao looked down at the scar on his arm and said, "Oh, I accidentally scratched it with a fruit two days ago."
Well, it's a lie, I recognize this kind of injury.
, but I didn't continue to ask.
After entering the hall, the hall was filled with powerful people. During the meal, the palace maids were dressed up and down. The ministers and their families were talking and laughing more wealth and joy than usual.
Mu Yao hummed, "The people here are not right. There are compliments between the lines, but I listened carefully for a long time before I could hear from the cracks of the words. I was full of irony."
I leaned closer to her ear: "Yes, they all hate you, laugh at you, are afraid that you are rich, and think that you are poor. They are not shy and have a lot of scrupulousness. Anyway, when they are mixed in, they only need to grasp three points."
"Smoke, drink, perm your hair?" Mu Yao said casually.
Me: "..."
Suddenly I saw a familiar figure walking towards me in the crowd.
I was suddenly shocked.
Rong Nian, her eyes first fell on Mu Yao, and there was a little obscure and unwillingness.
Then, she looked at me: "My sir, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't wished you a happy wedding."
Rong Nian and I did know each other, but we can only say that we are destined to be together.
At that time, I was not at the forefront of the storm. My body was like a floating cloud and my heart was like a flying catkin. I could take my life if I was careless.
She was just a little girl from the Marquis of Rong'an, carefree, and a woman who was famous for being free and happy in the capital.
The day she met Rong Nian, she happened to be robbed of her money bag by a villain on the street. The horse beside her was frightened and rushed towards their master and servant desperately.
When I passed by, I subdued the bad guys and saved them both master and servant.
Rong Nian gave me a gift, but I just said it was a mere effort and did not accept it. During the period of
, I also met her in the palace several times, but for some reason, rumors spread in the capital, saying that I would propose marriage to her on the day of Rong Nian and the hairpin, and have a double happiness. The rumors later disappeared after
.
Because now, she is already the prince's concubine, lives in the Eastern Palace, elegant and luxurious.
"Well, it's really not seen you for a long time." I tried to smile politely.
"When can I have another drink with Lord Zhou?"
Is this considered a close relationship or a contact?
But this doesn't matter, because everything has become different since she got married.
"No, the concubine should protect herself. It is best not to have anything to do with me. I am already on a cliff and I am always worried. Take care of the concubine."
Rong Nian's smile froze: "Mr. Zhou, do you have to be so unfamiliar?"
After weighing the trade-offs, I took a step back and only smiled and didn't answer.
is better to keep a distance. This hall seems relaxed and lively, with heavier pressure than the rules. The abyss is like ice, and it is hard to transcend the wind.
Rong Nian lowered her head and gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Zhou, I've waited for you."
"It's all over." I laughed at myself.
Mu Yao didn't say anything. After Rong Nian walked away, she chuckled: "Zhou Jingqi, everyone's eyes are full of sight, my private relationship is clear."
I immediately refuted: "No private relationship."
"Did you see what's on my head?" Her eyebrows and eyes were curved.
I don’t understand, so: “Hit hairpin?”
Mu Yao glanced at me sideways: “A green grassland can run away!”
My hand trembled with the wine glass.
"Just kidding, I'm just jealous, don't worry." She added.
My hands holding the wine glass trembled twice.
7
"But I am a cheerful person, so I said it straight. The look she looked at you made me feel uncomfortable,"
My wife had another glass of wine, and I snatched the glass of wine.
After all, I still remember that she drank that way on the wedding day, which was really not good.
Mu Yao wanted to grab my wine glass, but her hands were not long enough and her feet slipped into my arms.
The faint fragrance of flowers on my head filled my nose. The fresh feeling was like the waves of rivers, mixed with the smell of alcohol and slightly drunk, hugging me.
Yu Guang accidentally glanced at Rong Nian's face that suddenly changed color, with obscure, hesitant, and even uneasy in his eyes.
"Give me a glass of wine, don't force me to say it the 15th time." Mu Yao pointed at me shakingly.
"The food hasn't been served yet, drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your health." I refused.
Mu Yao frowned and took a deep breath: "No,"
I was helpless: "Are you young or not?"
She snorted coldly: "This may be a little naive for children, but it is just right for adults."
fallacies.
The palace banquet begins, and the white teeth sing and the thin waist dance. These banquets often eat less and watch more.
Suddenly I noticed the queen's gaze looking here, and Mu Yao also lowered her head keenly, trying to avoid her gaze.
but I can't escape it.
"Mu Yatou's body seems to be a little refreshed, and she can drink a few glasses of wine." The queen suddenly started to speak.
has reached this point, so she had to go forward and bow and make a few polite words.
It is reported that she rarely appears in front of people before getting married, and most of them refuse to show up on the grounds of being ill.
is also because of this layer, and very few people have seen her.
In the end, she was taken back by me, just like that night, unconscious.
In order not to arouse suspicion, I took her to leave the seat early, because it is well known that there is a sick beauty in the Mu Mansion, but now the one in my arms is a cool woman who can remove the roof from the roof and ride a fast horse from the bottom.
is right, and she also said she missed her mouth. The thing she put on the table that day was extremely poisonous.
is a must-have medicine for traveling at home and killing people.
But after I asked a few more questions, Mu Yao had already closed his eyes and leaned on my shoulder without saying a word.
Moonlight is too clear, and it is so beautiful when she sprinkles on her side face.
I couldn't help but secretly fell a kiss on her forehead.
8
Suddenly, a strong smell of blood poured in, and the murderous aura outside the yard surged into the sky.
I stood up alertly and looked out the window.
Oh, it's okay, it's just my wife is stealing people.
She secretly threw the bodies of the masked men out of the wall, so reckless that there was no unnecessary movement.
is right, I just witnessed her murder process, it was an extremely silent fight.
. No one shouted the word "kill", nor did he make a big fuss, he could only fight for his life quickly.
If you want to briefly summarize this battle, it is: Mu Yao surrounded a team of killers alone. Although the hidden weapon arrows sent out were not hit, they could not help but lift the knife and quickly move. The team of people sent were killed under her hands.
The problem is, isn’t she drunk?
If she is pretending, would she just find an excuse to escape my problem?
When she was killing someone, she was extremely calm and her eyes were so cold that they were so cold.
The night wind blew up her temples and poured into her sleeves, allowing her to successfully stop in front of a crabapple flower.
"It's like a solution to the wind," Mu Yao smiled and broke the begonia: "Push the ground with the wind." After
, she stabbed her back accurately into the belly of a man in black who was attacked in the next sneak attack, showing off and confident. The deliberate restraint and cautiousness before
cannot match her agile eyes.
"Go back and tell the master that if this person is killed, I have to kill him. If the prince is anxious, then I will give up the burden."
Recently, the prince's party and the third prince's party have fought no difference. I am indeed standing on the prince's side.
The prince was born by the queen, and the Mufu is the loyal supporter behind the prince.
Have they already noticed something wrong with me?
The man in black spitted blood: "Didn't he say he would do it on the night of the wedding? Why did he keep him?"
Mu Yao didn't answer.
"You must know that if you don't do it, someone else will soon come to take action on your behalf. If you betray the master, you won't end up!"
Her expression flashed: "I said, Zhou Jingqi wants me to kill."
After saying that, she pointed at the surviving man in black with a knife: "Now, get out of my sight."
Finally, the yard returned to tranquility, and the remaining blood was washed away by the sudden heavy rain at night.
with a whine, the door was pushed open again.
Maybe it was because Mu Yao didn’t have blood on his body, and I could no longer smell the smell of blood.
I could feel that she stood in front of my bed and looked down at me from a high place.
Is she ready to kill me?
I picked up the knife that I had prepared long ago.
9
Mu Yao squatted down, very close to me, and the heat from his breath sprinkled on my face.
"How do you think you can sleep at your age?"
She continued helplessly: "Do you know you almost died? Fortunately, I found out early."
Actually, I also discovered it, but I didn't want to speak out, let alone open my eyes.
Countless questions linger in my heart, but there are countless reasons to stop me from asking.
may have broken the window paper between the two, so there is no chance of face-to-face communication between her and I.
Mu Yao lowered his voice: "Forget it, just lie flat."
"You can lie flat, lie on your side, but you are still romantic and elegant anyway."
After a sigh, my lips were printed on it, like a dragonfly, and it was disorganized.
"Strange kiss me tonight, right? We're even now."
...
My mind was blank.
My heartbeat suddenly accelerated. If she strode my pulse at this moment, I will definitely reveal it.
She only had a few short words that made me not fall asleep all night.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xun hurriedly reported: "Young Master, the bodies in the back alley were dragged into the mountains and buried. Last night, a top master seemed to flash. I saw that these killers had good martial arts skills, but they all returned in disgrace."
I put down the book in my hand: "I understand."
Zhang Xun lowered his head: "But young master, even if the prince really wants to rebel, in order to be anxious at this time? I will not hesitate to attack you first."
I knocked on the table: "They are anxious, which means we have stepped on his sore spot. What we are in our hands happens to be his fatal hole."
Zhang Xun thought for a while and asked again worriedly: "Although this time it is a test, it will lead to a second time if the snake is pulled out of the hole. What will the young master plan to do?"
A sleeping beside the pillow, and a group of people were surrounded by internal and external troubles.
is right, what should I do?
I thought for a moment: "Let me check my personal name first, it's Tong Yi."
10
temporarily received a tolerance to go to Shuzhong to investigate the remnants of the rebellion.
The leader of the rebel party in Shu was born in the royal family, so the emperor would definitely not publicize the exposing of family scandals.
Before leaving, Mu Yao asked worriedly: "Zhou Jingqi, you will come back alive, right?"
If it were other official ladies, I would definitely be puzzled why she asked this.
But after witnessing her every move last night, I actually felt it was extremely reasonable.
"Do you want to remarry so soon?" I joked about her.
Mu Yao thought about this issue very seriously and shook his head.
Well, I feel very relieved.
"When you die, I will inherit your legacy and keep a bunch of handsome guys in front of me every day."
"Oh by the way! I can also build a big grave for you and a grand funeral for you, and it will be worthy of your ten-mile red makeup."
The most outrageous thing about her was that she picked up suona very seriously when she said this.
My temple suddenly hurts, and the last string in my mind breaks.
Before she could react, I forced her to the corner and reached out to block her way.
"Inherit my legacy?"
She smiled embarrassedly: "Just... Just kidding, so let you come back alive."
"Give my money to raise another man?"
She couldn't hold her smile: "I admit I'm a little floating..."
I think my face is probably as dark as the sky is gloomy.
Mu Yao suddenly became serious: "Zhou Jingqi, you'd better let go. Do you know how much bewitching you are to me now?"
I was thinking about what she meant, and suddenly she reached out to hook my neck, lowered her eyes, leaned over and leaned her head against my chest.
Although I didn't say a word, I seemed to feel her feeling a little depressed and troubled now.
I raised my hand and gently climbed onto her back, but didn't move for a long time.
If there is the sun now, I will definitely be able to see clearly what kind of dark and turbulent emotions are hidden in those amber eyes.
The weather in Shu seemed to be cooler. When I thought of this, a familiar name suddenly sounded in the street behind me:
"Mu Yao!"
I was shocked. She should be in the capital, why did I hear her name here?
The woman who also called Mu Yao responded quickly: "Zhong Lang, I'm here! I'll go back after buying vegetables."
Who is Zhong Lang?
Has she really gone to raise another man?
I turned around in a panic, and Zhang Xun understood what I meant in one second and looked at the woman.
But... This "comrades the romance" is not the same "comrades the romance".
11
That was a woman who looked so delicate and pitiful. She was walking slowly towards another man with a knitting basket.
She held an umbrella and her beautiful hair was simply tied up. Her pretty face and pale and weak expression were like a weak willow to support the wind.
"Rumor," the man called Zhong Lang hurriedly tightened her clothes, "Didn't he say he was raising them at home today?"
The woman smiled and said, "It's all that I'm worried about you too much. Today I feel better and want to go out for a walk."
The man was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, I can't let you do the same as usual..."
Before he finished speaking, the woman raised her hand and pointed it between his lips: "Didn't you say I won't mention it? I didn't care since I decided to leave the capital with you."
"No matter how luxurious it is, it's just a cage, how can I compare to freedom here?"
I noticed that my vision was a little out of focus, and I didn't come back to my senses until Zhang Xun called me a few times.
"Young Master, did you notice something?"
may be involved in Mu Yao's affairs. I think it is necessary to figure it out: "You go back first, I have something else to do." After
finished speaking, I left Zhang Xun in place and followed them all the way. On the way to
, I also asked an aunt if she knew their origin.
The aunt looked excited and immediately nagged me:
"They seemed to have eloped here. The man bought a house some time ago. The girl was the child of a wealthy family."
I pretended to be surprised: "Can you see this?"
The aunt slapped her forehead and said, "That's not. I can recognize it no matter how depressed I am. I'm very unfamiliar with the hoe, let alone planting flowers."
I spent ten copper plates thanked the aunt, and she also showed me the way.
followed to a slightly dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city. I knocked on the door politely, and the door opened quickly.
The man stepped forward first, looked bad, and asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"
"Zhong Lang, but is someone here?"
The woman walked out and accidentally looked up and saw me, and then suddenly became panicked and uneasy.
Her reaction told me that she knew me.
"It's okay, go in first." The man tried to block her with his body.
But she only hesitated for a moment and pushed open the door: "Zhonglang, let him come in, I know him."
Although the house was dilapidated, it was cleanly taken care of. There were no weeds in the yard and flowers were planted. All the items were suitable for the appearance.
She said she is the real romance.
"Mr. Zhou, this matter is all Mu Yao's fault, and it is also my own idea. It has nothing to do with other people. If you have any grudges, please do not involve others."
A voice called Master Zhou, which successfully made the man beside her frightened and sweated coldly.
I knocked on the table and laughed: "If it really has nothing to do with others as you say, then Miss Mu may not even be able to escape from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone come here."
The real Mu Yao's expression flashed, and his finger joints were white: "Mr. Zhou, I..."
The man standing aside immediately knelt in front of me: "It was my arrangement, and the rosy is also arranged by me, but I truly love Xiaoyao."
If I don't stop him, he can probably kowtow to me.
"Zhong Lang, this is not the case. Don't take everything to yourself." Mu Yao's eyes turned red and he hurriedly said.
My back teeth were a little sore, and I raised my hand to stop them from starting a long speech that was about to express their sincerity.
If true love can block the knife, then how gentle the world should be.
raised his eyelids and looked at the lovers: "I'm here to come, not to pursue this matter. Since you have settled down here, I have no reason to break up."
Mu Yao said, "I know, otherwise Lord Zhou wouldn't come to the door alone.”
The more people know they are here, the less secure they are.
I stood up with my hands and stood up: "Since you have chosen to leave, then don't show up in the capital again."
The two were stunned, with surprise and confusion on their faces.
"Otherwise, it will be bad for the right prime minister, and you and me."
Mu Yao was shaking, but he still insisted: "If Lord Zhou has something to use us in the future, just give me instructions."
I was silent for a moment and shook my head, "No need, you probably won't help what I need."
After I finished speaking, I stepped out of the house.
12
Back to my residence, I did not inform Zhang Xun of this accidental discovery, but only said that it seemed as if I saw a defector.
that day and night, a few people fled in the chaos, and this matter became a knot.
"By the way, I found the person you asked me to check before."
Chapter 111 spread a roll of paper. It is a more famous killer list in the world, and it introduces some killers in it.
According to him, this information is extremely confidential and cannot be bought at a large price at ordinary intelligence points.
After a long journey, I finally got such a volume.
"Tong Yi is this person," Zhang Xun sighed, "She claims to be a master of human body strokes, is good at holding knives, and especially likes to collect kitchen knives. Her current ranking is tenth in the killer list."
I picked up the teacup and frowned and asked, "Why is it tenth? What is the master of human body strokes?"
When I said this, Zhang Xun finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "If the master who is good at using hidden weapons is the arrow Wuxu, then she is the arrow full of arrows, and shooting an arrow is the luck to favor her."
Me: "..."
No wonder that I saw so many hidden weapons in the yard that day, but there was no one on the gangster.
is really good, and the food is also real.
"Why is it that collects kitchen knives?" I asked again.
"According to rumors in the world, this female killer firmly believes that no matter how high the kung fu is, she is afraid of the kitchen knife."
I have no idea what to say.
Suddenly, the Zhang Xun jumped up, as if he had discovered some shocking secret: "Young master, why is this person so similar between his eyebrows and eyes..."
"It's her."
I interrupted him and rubbed his temples.
"Young master, you are crazy, how can this person stay? She must be thinking about taking your life all the time."
"She must be hired by the right prime minister. The real Mu Yao is probably killed. This person is dangerous!"
Zhang Xun stood up, his eyes harsh.
But it's not for this matter.
"Come out! I've come here, why do you still hide?"
I picked up the teacup, shook my hand and threw the porcelain cup out the window. Before it landed, I was shot down by a hidden weapon.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 men in black, all of them were extraordinary. They surrounded us and fought to the death. They were obviously top-notch death warriors.
The guards guarding outside the door have been killed or injured, and the rest have retreated into the room and surrounded them.
"Nearly 90% of the deal was in the hands of this person, and he must take his life at this moment."
The rebels' remnants talked little, and they took ruthless actions. They attacked them with a fatal move. They ignored the knife they were hit on and were determined to fight for a bloody path.
I took Zhang Xun's sword and joined the battle group.
flipped and moved, and the surrounding soldiers fell to the ground one after another, all with swords in their eyebrows and killed them with one blow.
Even so, I was still injured.
The leader saw that the momentum was wrong and tried to evacuate, but was entangled by Zhang Xun.
Chapter Xun happened to subdue the last gangster. He looked around and saw that all the brothers who came with him died on the spot, and he immediately smiled bitterly.
"People only know that General Lu is brave and good at fighting among the new generation of characters, but they don't know that Master Zhou is hidden."
I looked down at the wound: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. If it was true, you wouldn't have the chance to say the last sentence now."
leader committed suicide quickly, and a trace of black blood bleeded from the corner of his mouth.
He probably died with his eyes closed. After being angry, he still stared at the top with resentment.
Zhang Xun checked around again and confirmed that there were no remaining people before turning back. Seeing the injuries on my shoulder and hands,
"This injury..."
I sighed that I was useless: "I haven't taken the sword for too long, I'm a little unfamiliar."
Zhang Xun was stunned: "Didn't you make the last killer?"
"She cooked." I pointed to the portrait on the killer list.
The facial features of the person in the portrait are actually only a few strokes. The essence is that the casual floating lines outline the person's ostentatious beauty.
Chapter Xun looked at the portrait and sighed: "The outline of the eyebrows and eyes is gentle, and the sword will kill all the young men in the world."
Secretly, the Beijing Capital Inspection Department also frequently mobilized to investigate the remaining criminals on a large scale in the capital.
At the same time, a news came out that Dali Temple Minister Zhou Jingqi was assassinated by the rebel party and was seriously injured and was resting in the mansion.
The word "seriously injured" is an exaggeration, mainly fishing.
See if you can catch those people with ill-intentioned undercurrents.
My wife saw me hurt. She was frightened at first, and then she looked mournful:
"I wouldn't say anything to persuade you to come back alive if I knew it."
"I'm sorry, I won't set a flag for you next time." "
"Who knows that I am so sad, what is this crow's mouth saying?"
I paused and said slowly, "I was just injured, not dead."
She cried and stopped, "Yes, I'm sorry I'm too embarrassed to cry too early."
13
I think my face is probably dark at the moment.
"Don't be angry, just kidding." She smiled, looked at the medicine Zhang Xun took and frowned, "You are slow to take effect, I have the best medicine for injury, I will get it for you."
Chapter slowly put down the medicine, looked at me a few more times, his lips moved but he didn't say anything.
I asked helplessly, "What are you worried about?"
He slapped the table and said, "If she put poison into your medicine, wouldn't she succeed?"
Before she finished speaking, the door was kicked open, and an angry voice came in:
"If you want to kill you, you will kill you early, and you still have to choose a life?"
looked up and saw my wife walked in happily and threw the medicine bottle on the table with emotion.
The sound of the medicine bottle hitting the desktop seemed to be filled with anger.
She looked at me condescendingly, her face against the light, and I couldn't see her expression clearly in the darkness.
I picked up the teacup and suppressed a little emotion in my heart: "Zhang Xun, you go out first."
Zhang Xun hesitated.
"We are old acquaintances." I added, "It's very old and old."
Chapter Xun looked at me, then looked at her, and finally silently exited and closed the door.
She walked to me without saying a word, picked up the medicinal wine ointment and clean gauze, and took off the gauze that was stained with blood on her face, wiping away the blood stains.
Only then did I feel the wound on my chest hurting hotly and I couldn't help but hum in my mouth.
Maybe I let out a muffled groan, and the movements in her hands slowed down a little, but the expression on her face remained unchanged.
"This medicine is not easy to get." I broke the silence.
She snorted: "The Right Prime Minister's family is a big business, what can't be done?"
I looked into her eyes: "You know what I'm talking about. The bottle of bone-scraping healing powder next to me cannot be used or bought."
Of course, except for those killers who live and lick blood at the tip of a knife and have a moment of life and death.
She paused, and she turned her face away, as if she was forcibly stopping the emotions coming up.
This is the first time I have spread it out in this period of time. It is like we all know something, but we still pretend that it does not exist.
old accounts are re-reported because they have never been properly resolved.
She held my hand and lowered her head to escape my gaze: "You move again, and you will bleed again later. If you are injured, you will be recuperated for a few days before coming back. She rushed back in a hurry, and didn't know what she wanted."
"I want to see you."
clearly said such shameless words, but I still said them.
She looked at me with her arms, and even felt a little funny: "Zhou Jingqi, you will really make me think you will like me like me."
I glanced at her lightly, reached out and quickly pressed her shoulder to hold her back, held her with the other hand, pressed her backhand against the wall, and pressed her tightly.
Before she could react, she struggled subconsciously, her eyes full of panic and defense.
Temperature, breath, breath, are all hot.
"You are crazy, wound!" The more she struggled, the more I wanted to use force.
I lowered my head and stopped a few inches away from her skin between her neck: "What if I say yes?"
This sentence successfully made her stunned for a moment. All the words I wanted to question me were stuck in my throat and I couldn't spit out a syllable.
In the room where most of the light was hidden, I could still see her reaching out and touching my face tentatively.
, one cold and one hot, the extreme contrast made me and her tremble at the same time.
The atmosphere has been in a stalemate for a long time.
I let go of her wrist, then smiled, just pretending that nothing had happened.
The vigilance in her eyes faded away in an instant, and she seemed to have become the casual person again.
"Zhou Jingqi," she gritted her teeth and pushed me away, gently poured the medicine on my wound,
"I, Tong Yi, owed you in my previous life, you are about to die, I can't let you go." When the medicine powder was sprinkled on the cracked scar on the floating scar, my body trembled. Although I didn't make any pain, cold sweat was seeping on my forehead and back. After bandaging it, she finally shook my face:
"What did I say before? If we want to separate one day, please give me a reason openly. Don't fool me with those bastard words, otherwise I will hate you for the rest of my life."
"You're fine, leave without saying a word. When I find you, you're going to marry someone else!"
I didn't answer her words, but instead held her hand and rubbed the wound on her arm.
"New injury? Which fruit knife is scratched by this?"
Tong Yi raised his hand and said, "It's just a scratch."
I rolled up her sleeves and said, "What about these? So many wounds are scratches?"
Her eyes flashed: "Is it pretentious? Unless life and death, it's all abrasions."
14
"Don't talk about the topic."
Tong Yi shook my hand away, looking like he was going to draw a clear line with me.
"You said you would marry me, you said you would wait for me, you liar."
"Do you know how much your head on your neck is worth? At that time, I saw the bounty and took it away without saying a word. Who knew it was you Zhou Jingqi. If I had known, I would have killed you and then left with the money."
I joked with her: "Then come on, I won't fight back, I'll kill you, you'll see if you want to kill and cut it."
Tong Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and took out a kitchen knife from behind: "It's my wish."
The kitchen knife was obviously stolen from my kitchen, and the unique words Zhou Mansion were engraved on it, and the sharpness flashed into my eyes.
cough, I was careless.
play with it.
Just as she came over, I took her arm while she was caught off guard.
Immediately afterwards, the knife in her hand was taken by me and threw it out of the window. She fell into my arms with the force of my hand.
"Don't force me to kill you." Tong Yi was both embarrassed and annoyed.
I bent down to look at her, and my arms supported her side. Just thinking about it would be clear how ambiguous the posture was.
She also looked at me and swallowed: "To be honest, are you afraid of what I did to you?"
was joking, and she had a knife, and there was nothing else that couldn't be done...
The next second, she kissed my lips.
is different from the frivolous and jokes before, this time it is a little revengeful, just like venting years of unwillingness.
breathing is heavy.
The light and people in front of me were filled with mist, and everything around me could not be seen clearly.
The only thing you can feel is the heat and affection in your whole body.
I kicked back to the back of her head, deepened the kiss, as if I had found the outlet for my emotions, and then I started to give up.
"Tong Yi," I turned my head, "If this continues, are you afraid that I will do to you?"
She lowered her eyes, her emotions were complicated.
I reached out and grabbed her back, took her in front of me, held her head, and let her lean against her shoulder.
After a while, she slapped my back hard: "If I reason with you, you will be a hooligan; if I act like a hooligan, you will be a reason with me!"
I was unprepared and coughed a few times, but I still felt the tears on my shoulders.
"Don't cry, no one wants the water-filled pork." I patted her comfortably.
She gritted her teeth and said, "But you can press the scale."
15
At night, Tong Yi walked out of the kitchen.
Lift your fingers and blood fell to the ground.
My eyes twitched wildly, and I was shocked and angry: "What are you doing?"
She hesitated for a while, and looked at the fried eggs in the pot: "Cooking, it's not done well."
I was helpless: "If you don't know, you thought you were a relative with a pig."
She glared at me: "Don't do this, I really thank you."
I bandaged her while teasing her: "No need to thank you, you deserve it."
Tong Yi couldn't cook, and successfully added another piece of her scarred hand.
I smiled and said, "Go out and have a lantern festival tonight. Don't you like the funniest?"
Tong Yi nodded repeatedly and took out a few copper plates from his pocket: "Let's go, I'll treat you tonight."
"So generous?"
"Of course, I have saved a lot of money over the years." She nodded slightly.
I nodded: "That's right, the master of human body stroke."
Tong Yi was successfully choked, but silently picked up the kitchen knife again.
"Look at me, can you cut you with one knife?"
On the streets of the capital, all kinds of colorful lanterns compete for beauty, and the people watching the lanterns came out in full swing, rushing and rushing.
The lights pull our shadows very long, and the tops blend together, and we can no longer tell each other.
She suddenly accelerated her pace and jumped onto my back.
was caught off guard and staggered a few steps, and I almost couldn't hold her back.
I pretended to be angry: "Tong Yi, you are so brave, right? What should I do if I can't handle you?"
But she didn't care and pointed to the shadow on the ground: "Look, our shadows are integrated now."
At first, two figures of one front and one back on the ground were cast on the ground, and then it became a ray. My heart was inexplicably dripping with a beat.
"The fireworks are beautiful, that is the fire that spreads." Tong Yi pointed to the fireworks in the sky, "I'm... dead without regrets."
I immediately interrupted her crow's mouth: "What nonsense is it."
She snorted disdainfully: "Is Lord Zhou also a love species? Don't you say you have no feelings. As expected, the rumors are all infatuated, but the reality is all unfaithful."
Hearing this sentence, I stumbled on my chest: "Let's separate for a few years."
A few years sounded scary, but in fact, when the wind blew, nothing was left.
"Yeah." She responded, but never said anything again.
I turned my head and saw her smile as before.
All this is as beautiful as...
The stars that are whitewashed under the night sky.
16
Calm days come quickly and go quickly.
One day a woman in palace clothes appeared in my mansion, and she walked towards me slowly. With a long skirt and wide sleeves, she was wearing bright red clothes, and a wide cloth covered with silk flowed long on the jade bridge. When she looked closely, she was Rong Nian.
She has lost her youthfulness when she first met and has a bit more charm, especially when her head is full of gold and jade.
"Jingqi," she smiled before walking towards me, "We're still meeting."
I took a step back: "Concubine, what's the matter here today?"
Rong Nian frowned, as if dissatisfied with my unfamiliar name for her.
I looked at the palace servant behind her. I should indeed keep a distance in this kind of occasion.
Rong Nian slowly raised his hand: "Of course, I'll give you a surprise."
The palace servant behind her received the order and immediately brought a woman tied up tightly.
The woman had messy temples, her face turned pale like a ghost, her lips were bloodless, and her eyes were shattered.
I was shocked for a moment, but the surface still pretended to be unlucky.
I naturally recognize who she is. I only met in Shuzhong last time.
"Would you like to guess who she is?" Rong Nian chuckled, "For the sake of our many years of knowing each other, I would like to give you a reminder that it has something to do with the person next to you."
Mu Yao.
I hardly have to think about it, my eyes fell on the woman kneeling on the ground.
She was already sick, and Rong Nian and the prince's people would definitely not treat her well. This is to make people die.
I pretended to be confused: "I don't understand what you mean."
Rong Nian's lips curled, as proud as if he had grabbed my handle:
"No, you understand, but you don't want to admit it."
"I understand you, if you don't understand, you won't be so calm. Agree, you think you are sure to win, but in fact you haven't figured out what's going on now."
The weather today is a bit dark, as gloomy and irritable as my mood.
I walked over her and squatted in front of the woman and asked in a low voice, "Rong Nian, do you think you understand me?"
"Well... why doesn't it count?" She pointed at the woman behind her back, "She is the one you were going to marry that day! She is Mu Yao!"
I was silent, just helping Mu Yao take her pulse, but fortunately the situation was not bad.
Rong Nian sneered and turned around to question me, "Then the question is here, who is the person next to you?"
"Zhou Jingqi."
Suddenly someone called my name from behind. I turned around and saw that Tong Yi was back.
She really shouldn't have appeared at this time.
My heart trembled for no reason. I was afraid that she would misunderstand, so I wanted to explain, but she stopped me.
Her eyes quickly fell on Rong Nian and said meaningfully, "The mansion is so lively today."
"You go back first, I'll deal with it here." I said word by word.
Tong Yi nodded and walked away.
Rong Nian did not give up and shouted loudly: "Wait, don't Mrs. Zhou want to know who the woman kneeling on the ground is?"
Tong Yi successfully paused.
I thought she would also ask me who this person is and why she appeared in the mansion, but no.
Tong Yi was calmer than I thought, she just chuckled.
laughed like a bell, making Rong Nian and I a little confused.
"Your ex, your fiancée," Tong Yi pointed to Rong Nian and Mu Yao, and then pointed to herself, "And I, the current employee, gathered together, Zhou Jingqi, your Shura field is really not ordinary bloody."
Me: "..."
The scene is getting more and more outrageous.
Ex-boy, current person, the real person to marry, stew it all in a pot.
17
Theoretically, there is no text that can describe my messy heart at this moment.
But one thing I'm very confused about is why Tong Yi's eyes are a little bit...
is looking forward to it.
I ignored Rong Nian for the first time and turned to look at her: "You seem to be very happy?"
Tong Yi changed her face seriously in one second. Even so, the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be suppressed.
"Did I behave very obviously? It's normal for the first time to watch it, it's normal to be a little excited."
I raised my hand and grabbed her waist and asked in her ear, "Are you not jealous this time?"
She thought for a while, nodded and shook her head,
"I'm still jealous at this time? Of course I'm happier to watch the show."
I finished speaking first: "I know that the lady in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion will run away from marriage, but your appearance disrupted my plan."
Tong Yi widened his eyes, and his beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.
I originally wanted to find the real Mu Yao to threaten the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and add a little bargaining chip to the prince's fall.
The prince secretly colluded with the rebels in Shu, and cheated in the spring of the school, and bought and sold official positions, and the right prime minister's mansion deceived his superiors and subordinates...
every piece is in my calculations.
But then Tong Yi appeared, and I chose to let them go and make other plans.
"But I didn't expect that Mu Yao was found by them. This matter was probably done by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion with the prince on his back, but now it's being held by the prince."
She lowered her eyes and whispered lightly: "Actually you have done it, right?"
I patted her back: "What I want to say is that you don't need to use a knife after a while, the blood flowed and dirty your hands on the spot."
"That's fine, just do whatever you say." She smiled and said to me meaningfully, "Oh, by the way, if you dare to cheat, be careful of your head."
Me: "..."
"The only things that can green me are funds and stocks. Men, don't even think about it."
"By the way, have you forgotten Rong Nian?" Tong Yi reminded me.
Maybe Tong Yi and I lowered our heads and talked too close, which turned into a slight slutty ears and were intimate in Rong Nian's eyes.
Rong Nian's expression was indescribable: "Mr. Zhou, your wife seems to have recognized who she is."
"Just tell me directly," I took a few steps forward, "What do the concubine wants?"
This was exactly what she wanted, and Rong Nian smiled confidently.
"How come you think so? I don't want anything."
"You know, this is not a big deal for me."
"I'm going to put this in my words today," Rong Nian stood up straight and raised her airs, "You can only choose one between them."
gives me a choice?
I don't like making choices.
If you choose Mu Yao, Tong Yi will hand it over to her;
If you choose Tong Yi, there will be no room for maneuver after this matter is exposed.
"Please choose one, whether it is good or bad, Lord Zhou can measure it clearly in his heart." Rong Nian urged me.
I spoke slowly: "If you know whether it is good or bad, then it is not a choice.”
Rong Nian thought he was sure to win: "It seems that Lord Zhou has made a choice."
Someone suddenly poked me behind my back. When I looked back, Tong Yi looked at me with some concern, his face turned blue.
I held her hand and tried to comfort her, but found it was so cold.
I turned around and continued, "Do you know about this when you do it?"
"They don't know. If they know, they will never let you do this."
Rong Nian's hand clenched unconsciously and hummed softly: "Someone will report to the prince's prince, you won't have to worry about it."
I smiled, it seems that she doesn't understand what I mean.
If Mu Yao’s incident cannot be hidden, the substitute will be exposed and the secret of escaping marriage will be made public. At that time, everyone in the capital will know that the Right Prime Minister’s Mansion has found a fake eldest daughter to fool the marriage contract.
The prince and the right prime minister’s mansion are grasshoppers on the same rope, prospering and losing.
is now a critical moment, and you can’t make a mistake in any move.
As for the Zhou family, this engagement was just a move by the emperor to use me to restrain the princelings.
I was too lazy to explain: "Let's do this, I'll just say it. If someone stays, the concubine can leave first."
Mu Yao I stayed, and Tong Yi would not hand it over.
selection?
I said I don’t like making choices.
18
"You! Lord Zhou, this is unreasonable." Rong Nian pointed at me, his fingers trembling a little.
I pretended to be indifferent: "This matter will be suppressed in the end, so let's just take my favor."
"What are the benefits of me?"
Benefits? The advantage is that can she sit in this position for a while longer?
I am not without scruples. If the Right Prime Minister’s Mansion doesn’t want the prince to hold the handle, the biggest possibility is to let Mu Yao return to Beijing and sit back to her original position.
Tong Yi... There is a high probability that he will fall into a dangerous situation.
When talking about Tong Yi, her face turned pale, as if she had noticed something was wrong.
I think something is wrong with Tong Yi, and I don’t want to continue chatting, so I just gave up:
"How much do you know about the activities behind the prince? Otherwise, we will kill him and be deposed, your family will be implicated, and I will suffer a little loss. What about losing an official?"
Rong Nian glanced at me deeply.
Before leaving, she kicked down the newly planted potted plant in my yard.
When this little farce dispersed, Mu Yao bowed to me: "Mr. Zhou, you have been implicated. If there is a next life..."
I quickly stopped her: "No need to say such illusory words. If you have the heart to say this, why don't you think about how Rong Nian found you."
Mu's family has always been clean in doing things, so how could it be lost?
And I was even more afraid that she would say anything and say something like saying something about her body, and Tong Yi was thinking about it again.
After all, I don’t have much left in my kitchen knife.
"Mr. Zhou, your wife doesn't seem to be very good." Mu Yao was caught off guard and reminded me.
"Zhou Jingqi..." Tong Yi called my name weakly, his face suddenly became ugly, pale and bloodless.
I turned around and my pupils shrank.
She staggered a few steps, finally held the fence of the pavilion and spit out a mouthful of blood, and coughed heavily.
The black blood suddenly popped out of the corners of the lips, the blue and black visible to the naked eye on the face, and the breath was shallow and rapid.
I immediately picked her up and called someone to invite the doctor.
"No, things have changed. Mu Yao cannot appear in front of the prince. You send her back to the right prime minister's mansion." Tong Yi turned his head and said to Mu Yao, "Your father knew that I couldn't kill Zhou Jingqi, so he regretted it. He didn't plan to let you go."
Mu Yao took a few steps back in surprise, his lips trembling.
I tried hard to squeeze out a few words: "Don't talk first, let's talk about this later."
hurriedly wiped the blood from the corner of Tong Yi's mouth, and I was so panicked that I could hardly think.
Actually, I have always been so scared, I even wondered... Should I not have it from the beginning.
The evening wind seemed to have thorns, making my throat hoarse and my heart hurt.
"Listen to me!" Tong Yi spoke hard and coughed a few more times, "Now, go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the matter needs to be resolved there."
I know this matter is not easy to calm, but I didn't expect this hurdle to come so quickly. On the carriage, Tong Yi held out and smiled: "I want to die with you a little."
I was furious and hysterical: "If you can't speak people, you can't say it!"
Tong Yi also agreed: "Yes, I shouldn't say it. The best ending is to end all this quietly."
bastard.

"A rare guest." The right prime minister Mu Jian smiled with a false kindness and righteousness, as if he had expected all this long ago.
Mu Jian is about fifty years old, his temples are gray, and he has a straight rectangular face, but he smiles more scheming and cunning.
His eyes fell on Tong Yi and he sighed, "I am very disappointed. I think Miss Tong should succeed, why did she lose her head? Then the antidote cannot be handed over to the girl."
I also guessed from his words: "Mu Jian, what did you do?"
His smart and calculating eyes looked at me, with unconcealed desires inside.
As for the Buddhist beads on his hand, it made me feel even more disgusted.
Some people worship gods. To put it nicely, they seek hope, and to put it badly, they are desires.
Mu Jian waved his hand, and all the servants left the study room, and the huge study room was mixed with blood and sandalwood smell.
"At the beginning, Mu Yao needed someone to marry, so I chose a killer. Anyway, I have long regarded you as a great enemy, so I will get rid of you by the way. At that time, I will blame the third prince on the grounds that I lost my son-in-law and daughter at the same time."
"I am afraid that the killer I hired will turn back, so I have to use some tricks. You won't notice that those things wrapped in candy paper are just pills that can temporarily suppress toxicity. Didn't she tell you?"
"No, how could she tell you? Look at her eyes, it's all about feelings."
A drop of hot tea hit the back of my hand, Tong Yi coughed a few times, and struggled out of my arms.
She stood in front of me and picked up the knife, aiming the blade at Mu Jian: "One to change, it's not a loss."
Mu Jian's hand shaking with the Buddhist beads, but he still pretended to be calm:
"If I kill me, Tong Yi can't live. Zhou Jingqi, Zhou Jingqi, I really can't figure out what you have. It's cruel and vicious, and it's cunning. It has no advantages except for a face."
My hand was clenched unconsciously.
"Of course, Lord Zhou has another choice now."
He turned around and his abacus was very loud:
"Let my husband's daughter return to your Zhou family. She is your Mrs. Zhou, and this fake guy will never appear again."
I was almost angry and laughed. The old fox repented. He originally wanted to let his daughter go, but later he found that the risk of this matter was too great, so he tied her back to Beijing with Rong Nian's hand.
First, Mu Yao won’t hold a grudge against him, and second, he can find a way to control me.
"Of course, you are the son-in-law of our Mu family. As compensation, I guarantee that you will rise to the top and rise in the future."
Draw me a cake?
"Impossible," I almost refused at the first time.
The old fox smiled sinisterly: "That antidote, or Zhou Jingqi, you can only choose one this time."
"You are hiding very well. If it weren't for the people in Shu who told me about your skills, I would like to find a few more killers. Now it seems that there is no need. The only one who can kill you is Tong Yi, except her. "
"Shut up, old fox," Tong Yi turned around and pushed me back with all his might. "Idiotic."
I was unprepared and staggered a few steps back. Just as I was about to step forward, I was aimed at Tong Yi's throat.
I looked at Tong Yi, her eyes were filled with begging, and I understood her lips.
roll.
She asked me to get out.
is concise and concise.

The blade aimed at my throat, and its owner stood with difficulty.
Tong Yi smiled miserably, as if he was enduring great pain: "I knew I would have such mental preparations a long time ago, so you don't have to worry too much for me."
I reached out and held the blade and took it to the direction of my chest, letting it cut through my palm, and blood flowed.
This action scared Tong Yi quickly threw away the knife, and his hands were trembling in dismay.
This time, her eyes changed again when she looked at me, as if she was watching crazy criticism.
Mu Jian looked at me like a vulture staring at the rotten meat. He was sure that I would not go out from here today.
He is probably right.
"Mr. Zhou has thought about it. This poison has reached the late stage. After walking out of this door, Miss Tong's life will not be guaranteed. I will let you lose your official position and return home tomorrow and destroy everything you have done."
This old fox is forcing me.
My head was blank. I picked up the knife on the ground and handed it to Tong Yi: "Do it, do what you should have done."
Bang-
Tong Yi slapped me, and the crisp sound made me no longer hear anything else.
The face was so painful. If she had kept the strength to stab me, it would probably be fine.
"Get out, Zhou Jingqi, who do you think you are? Why do you control my decision?"
"You have calculated every day, are you tired? Is it interesting to live like this?"
, why are you tired? Why are you tired? You are tired when you look at this? Why are you tired? You are afraid of losing the other person, and you are in trouble when you advance and retreat.
But I didn't stop, just put the knife in her hand:
"Don't cry, you should be happy. If you make you unhappy because of meeting me, then I would rather never show up."
"I told you at that time that I only wanted to have a career and not a relationship. These words are false. This is an excuse for me to speak out. I don't want you to leave me either. My future and you have planned, and I am also walking step by step, but it's a bit slow. I want to ask you to give me some time."
"But there is no time now, so I will leave first this time. If you are unhappy and wronged in the future, just look for me, maybe I will not be there. In the end, I love you, but I just didn't at the right time."
I don't know what I am talking about, I just talk nonsense.
I don’t know if Tong Yi understood it, but I said all of this anyway.
"Zhou Jingqi, why did I get into your love brain?"
Tong Yi took my knife, his words were already a little vague, but tears still didn't shed.
"After I leave, you leave, help me drive away this annoying old guy, and then scatter the ashes..."
I realized that it was not good, but the movement was not as fast as her!
Her blood flowed more than I had in my hands, and the blade was aimed at herself in the end...
In an instant, only black and white were left in the world, and the blood flowing from her body.
I feel as if I am dead.
I looked at Mu Jian, and he took two steps back in fear in an instant: "I have never instigated her to do this..."
The violent wind outside the window blew open the window, the wind blew out the candle, and the falling raindrops extinguished the sandalwood in the incense burner.
In an instant, there was only death silence left in the whole room.
I picked up her body: "Mu Jian, your good days are over."

"Tong Yi's Perspective: Those Years of Being a Human Stroke Master"
1
This is the sixteenth year I have worn books.
Everyone calls me the human stroke master, because in this book, I have never been hit by the archery and hidden weapon, either flying over my hair or wiping my clothes.
But I still made it to the killer list with my strong strength. I will do whatever the task is more bounty.
But I met a very tricky employer. He, the old fox, actually asked me to promise me that I would give me another poison.
Seeing that he gave too many points, I gritted my teeth and answered. He promised that he would give the antidote after the matter was completed and he would double the bounty.
3200 Two golds, do you dare to think about it?
My salary reached 3200 taels of gold at a young age, which I didn’t dare to think about before.
I took the poison and found out that the person I was going to kill was Zhou Jingqi.
’s white moonlight!
was sloppy. I thought I could get the antidote in two days, but now I have to spend some time.
I went back to find my master, and he was so angry that he punished me to kneel for half an hour.
I thought he would say that I shouldn’t betrayal and be loyal to my employer, but he called me stupid and said that I shouldn’t hand over my life to others.
I admit that when I heard 3200 taels of gold, my reason disappeared without a trace.
"You pretend to die, and I will ask your two senior brothers to replace you." My master stroked his beard and said angrily.
Everything develops according to the normal script, and the biggest surprise is that Zhou Jingqi wants to commit suicide. In the case of
, I can save it if I die. If his stupid child dies, he will be powerless to turn things around.
In the end, there was no way, so I could only stab myself.
I wouldn't have poked myself so deeply if I had known it. I wouldn't have poked Zhou Jingqi so hard if I had known it.
His handsome face is heartbreaking every night when I think of it.
2
I got angry again when talking about this. That day, my waste brothers found the wrong mourning hall.
If my master hadn't had quick eyes and quick hands, I would have been in heaven now.
After discovering that the wrong person was changed, they foolishly put the wrong body back into my original coffin.
So, I still don’t know who was buried in the grave that Zhou Jingqi set up for me.
Part of the reason why I don’t go back to find him is because of this killer list. Compared to
, I prefer the title of "The Big Brother" on the list.
But the first one is my master, the second and third ones are my two senior brothers, I can only spend more time.
In the end, it took me three years to retire my master and I successfully got promoted.
Of course, a bigger reason is that I can know as soon as possible who will be unfavorable to Zhou Jingqi.
Three years later, I went back to see him and found that an old fox named Mu Jian was gone.
is the kind that the whole family is gone.
The prince is no longer there. It is said that he intends to rebel. He committed multiple crimes overnight. Not only was he deposed, his name almost lost. Rong Nian also went crazy. She couldn't stand the feeling of falling from a superior to a prisoner overnight, and now she is missing.
The situation in the capital has changed a lot. I asked Dali Temple Minister Zhou everywhere, but found that there was no such person.
I panicked, no, he was going to commit suicide, right?
Facts prove that I was thinking too much, he was just promoted, and he had to change his words to Lord Zhou of You in the future.
Everyone says that a successful man’s dream is to get promoted and make money and die.
Zhou Jingqi did it all.
Let us congratulate Lord Zhou.
3
I just don’t know if he will pay attention to me if I go back to find him.
But he loves me so much, sure...
He saw me for the first time, and the door closed with a bang, and I was disappointed.
I squatted on the street and thought for an hour but couldn't figure out what was going on?
Zhou Jingqi, I don’t believe in evil anymore. Could it be that I always say that I like me, but I pretend?
Or should I not have tried my best to marry him back then?
So I went to Zhou Mansion more frequently, three times a day, seven days a week, and even nineteen six is not as diligent as me.
It seems that Zhou Jingqi didn't see me. He went to court when he should go to court. He criticized the official documents when he should be criticized, and criticized the person who should be criticized.
The most overwhelming thing is that I used the kitchen knife I collected over the years to set him a table of good dishes, but he was just caring about drinking.
What is the best way to drink from the soft wine in Beijing?
My cooking skills have improved a lot over the years. My master nodded every time he said that I passed the exam.
But he was indifferent. On the day of rest, he only knew that he had no expression on his face to get himself drunk.
Then after getting drunk,
shouted my name with red eyes.

Maybe I just don’t exist in his heart.
The new maid from Zhou Mansion did not recognize me, so I happened to ask her: "Have you Lord Zhou always been so cold?"
"After the wife passed away three years ago, Lord Zhou was like this. She lived in a daze, but she could only say she had no soul."
The little maid looked around when she said this, for fear that someone would hear it.
I squatted down and signaled her to squat down, "Then he is not going to re-string?"
"Maybe there is, it is said that I have been talking recently." The little maid sneaked up to my ear, "There are rumors that he has never found a very similar wife to her."
I: "..."
Oops, someone has become my substitute.
"What kind of rumors are broken, talking nonsense." I knocked her on the head and gave her a handful of copper.
"Okay, I can buy candied haws at the Lantern Festival tonight!"
The little maid continued to work happily. I suddenly envied her heartlessly.
Forget it, the lantern festival three years ago has become a vulgar one and it is very lively every time.
The streets are full of gorgeous lanterns, like a long string of pearls embellishing the night.
The crowd of people watching the lanterns were lively, and they were playing and laughing. The changes in the court seemed to have nothing to do with this place.
Everyone should eat and drink, and the moon is in the sky and the silk and bamboo orchestrals are still constantly.
I walked through step by step, my steps did not stop at all, and I didn’t know where to put my eyes.
is just a little numb.
Light and shadow, light and darkness, people's conversations come, interlacing into the cicadas like summer cicadas.
light pulled my shadow for a long time, and I stopped and couldn't help looking at this lonely black shadow.
fake and free.
I scold myself.

Suddenly there was a riot in the crowd, and a frightened horse rushed towards me with a carriage.
The air is filled with dust and soil, and the noise of crowds from all directions is flying everywhere.
I knew I should hide, but suddenly I didn’t know who hugged me. In a dizzy way, I arrived on the side of the road.
looked up and didn't recognize him.
The one who saved me was a stranger.
"Thank you," I smiled at the handsome man, "How do you want me to repay you?"
The man was very gentlemanly: "It's a simple task, be polite, I don't know where the girl lives, I can..."
But before he finished speaking, my wrist was pulled by a heavier force and pulled back.
I fell into my arms, and vaguely, I could still hear the chaotic heartbeat.
is probably my own.
"Thank you, my wife, this young master is worried."
The sound of emotion sounded, Zhou Jingqi held my hand very hard, and I could even see the blue veins on it.
Zhou Jingqi lost weight.
His always cold face looked annoyed, his ears were red, and he was a little more rare. The man in front of
knew that he couldn't get it right next, so he walked away politely.
As soon as Zhou Jingqi turned around, I crashed into his amber eyes, even in the backlight environment, it was still clear.
"He just hugged you."
His voice was hoarse and forbearance, and my back froze and gasped.
After a while, I tried to explain: "I saved me by chance, it's okay."
"He just hugged.........you."
is wrong, something is wrong, what is he talking about?
For the first time in my life, I explained something, but I was so troubled that I was on the battlefield.
I pulled over the collar of his clothes and bit my teeth: "Don't you not be able to see me? Don't you think I'm a ghost?"
The distance between the two suddenly narrowed.
His breathing was a little heavy, his thin lips were tightly pursed.
"I'm afraid that I'm having hallucinations."
This, so when he saw someone saving me, he realized that I was alive?
is outrageous.
Then he slowly said, "I have been seeing similar scenes in the past three years, and I can't tell the difference."
He really, I cried to death.
"And I remember your cooking is not as delicious as it is." He added.
Puff, the tears I was about to fall, so I held them back.
I poked his chest: "Sir should treat you with admiration for three days, let alone I have been three years, so I have made great progress long ago, okay?"
He grabbed my other hand: "You know for three years, too?"
...
I broke free from his shackles, held his back with both arms, and hugged him tightly.
He slowly stretched out his hand and strengthened the hug: "I recognized it in my dream."
"Bring me back." I stood on tiptoe and said in his ear.
Zhou Jingqi certainly won't reject me.
I began to tease him: "The little maid in your backyard said that you have lived without souls in the past few years."
He walked very steadily and answered me: "Yes, I lack a soul."
I fluttered on his back and said with a smile: "So I'm back!"
"Yes, I'm on the verge of the ghost now." Zhou Jingqi said indifferently.
I have my head turned off for you or not?
took a few steps, and when the shadows under the light merged again, I was thinking that
meeting is not lucky,
reunion is the one.
