Chapter 3: The Night King

In the sunny, luxurious and elegant pavilion water pavilion, a few small finches with bright feathers frolicked among the rockery trees, sometimes bowed their heads by the pool to drink, sometimes jumped lightly on the strange stone rockery, and sometimes made a few crisp and pleasant chirps......

At this moment, there was a slight sound of neat footsteps from the corridor not far away, and the birds heard it and flew away.

But it was eight beautiful maids in uniform blue dresses. The first four people held crystal plates with a variety of bright and delicate fruits, the next two people each held a crystal glass wine jug containing two different colors of fruit wine, and the last two, on the silver plate of one hand, placed several delicate silver wine glasses, and the other person held several silver plates on the silver plate, on which were folded wet towels......

Soon they entered a hall with an open door, and each of them went about his duties, and the four maidservants who carried the fruit soon departed, while the remaining four maidservants remained to pour wine and serve......

In the spacious and bright hall, on the main seat is a middle-aged man with a burly figure, a resolute face, and a masculine spirit. He still seems to exude a majesty that has been in the position for a long time......

"Wen Li, Jun'er, why haven't they come here yet, can't you tell me what happened on my trip to the imperial capital this time?" the middle-aged man asked the beautiful woman beside him in a neutral but slightly pleading tone.

"Jun'er, they're coming over soon, you better ask them!" spoke to a graceful and beautiful woman, perhaps because she was well-maintained, or maybe she was really young, and her face did not leave many traces of age, and it was impossible to tell how old she was. Seeing that she finished speaking indifferently, she elegantly picked up the pale cyan fruit wine on the table and tasted it gently......

As if he had not received a satisfactory answer, the middle-aged man picked up a glass of red fruit wine on the table and drank it all.

At this time, a beautiful woman on her right hand took the wine jug from the handmaiden's hand and filled it with wine, and then peeled out a crystal flesh and handed it to the middle-aged man......

"Yu'er, you sit down first, and leave these things to the next people. The middle-aged man said in a vague whisper as he ate the fruit;

Some quiet and delicate women smiled at him, but they picked up wet towels and wiped the juice from the corners of their mouths......

It wasn't until she heard the sound of brisk footsteps outside the door that she put on her makeup and sat up quietly.

The three people who came in were Yejun, Yebing, and Yexue.

"Daddy, you're finally back, people want to kill you. Yexue, the most youthful and active girl, shouted happily, and then happily squeezed between the middle-aged man and the noblewoman and coquettishly played to the middle-aged man.

"You, you're all a big girl, why are you still so like a child, you don't know the rules, you know how to be coquettish, and you're not ashamed. The noble lady smiled and reprimanded the young daughter;

"Father, Mother, Lady Jade. ”

"Father, Mother, Mrs. Leigh. ”

Ye Jun and Ye Bing saluted the middle three seriously, the difference was that Ye Jun called the noble lady his mother, and Ye Bing called the quiet woman his mother.

"What happened in the Imperial City a few days ago?"

When they were done, Yaxiong asked majestically;

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall suddenly became surprisingly quiet.

Yexiong looked at Yejun, who was a little restless, and stared at him sternly, "Jun'er, you come on." ”

"This ......" Yejun stood up at a loss, his mouth stumbling, and he stopped talking.

"Don't be afraid, it's not your fault, tell your father the truth, and your mother will make the decision for you. Qin Wenli looked at her son who was a little timid and said encouragingly.

"Thank you, mother, the child knows. Father, here's the thing, that day, father, you went to the Imperial City, and a few days later, Xue'er secretly ran out of the lord's mansion, but was attacked by a thief, and the thief forcibly injected the fire spirit energy into Xue'er's body......" Yejun said slowly.

......

"How can this be reasonable, Xiao Tianbo! You are so bold. Yoo suddenly stood up with a face full of anger and slapped the wine on the table with one palm.

"Father, daughter thinks it's not that simple. Ye Bing stood up abruptly and said softly.

"Bing'er, you are the most calm and careful, have you thought of anything?" asked Yexiong, who had calmed his anger after drinking a glass of wine.

"My father also knew that a few months ago, Xiao Tianbo's son Xiao Lingyuan pestered his daughter and was severely taught a lesson by his daughter, although he was injured, it was not serious. ”

"After that, father, you went to the Imperial City, Xue'er secretly went out and was forcibly injected into the body with fire spirit energy, and the fire spirit devoured the body to generate fire poison, if it was a spirit cultivator, this was not a poison, but Xue'er couldn't cultivate before, this fire poison was extremely troublesome, not only was it as painful as burning a body with fire when it attacked, but it was enough to be fatal if it was not controlled. Ye Bing said in a flat tone, as if telling a story that had nothing to do with him, without a trace of emotion.

When my father heard that Xue'er was injured, he thought that Xiao Tianbo had done it, and Mrs. Li saw Xue'er who was poisoned by fire at that time, and everyone thought so. Ye Bing finished speaking and stopped.

"Everyone knows that the previous lord passed away and there was no successor, if it weren't for His Majesty's great merit to give this lord to the prince, he Xiao Tianbo would undoubtedly be the lord of this lord by virtue of his royal clan status. The lord who came for no reason didn't become a lord, and he continued to be a city lord, and he held a grudge. Xue'er was injured and poisoned, who else could there be besides him?" Qin Wenli hugged Ye Xue and said with a murderous look on her face.

"Cher, have you seen who hurt you? Yexiong hid his anger and asked the little daughter beside him gently.

"No!" replied Yexue timidly.

"Father, it's because everyone thinks that this matter was done by Xiao Tianbo, so this matter is very strange. If Xiao Tianbo really wanted to take revenge, he could take this opportunity to quietly ask for Xue'er's sister's life, even if he didn't hurt his life, he shouldn't deliberately use the fire spirit to hurt her, there were not many spiritual cultivators in the main city, let alone a fire spirit cultivator with advanced cultivation. ”

"And he, Xiao Tianbo, and his family are all fire spirit cultivators, if they really act like this, it is clear that they want to tell us that they did it. Unless he was not at all afraid of his father's revenge, how could he dare to be so presumptuous. ”

"He, Xiao Tianbo, is not so bold as to dare to bear my anger. So it's very likely that someone framed this matter?" Ye Xiong tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Father, even if this matter is not Xiao Tianbo's doing, it has nothing to do with him, this murderer either has an enmity with our family, or Xiao Tianbo's enemy, most of them are Xiao Tianbo's enemies, and the murderer wants to use his father's hand to destroy Xiao Tianbo. Ye Bing said calmly.
