V19 Break the seal
"It's good that Brother Long finally has someone he likes. Shangguan Ru'er stared at the direction where Long Qianjue had gone, and smiled lightly.
Xiao Luo's face was slightly gloomy: "Miss, the Lord is so good, don't you like him?"
Shangguan Ru'er shook her head and said: "Xiaoluo, feelings are about fate, and you can't force them." It should be yours, there is no need to ask for it, it should not be yours, and it will be empty in the end. β
"Miss is so indisputable, what's the point of living?" Xiao Luo was annoyed, gritting her teeth, only feeling that there was no hope for following her.
Shangguan Ru'er faced the wind, the breeze was blowing, and said in a gentle tone: "When the heart is calm, it will become peaceful as soon as you become calm." β
Xiaoluo sighed, and didn't have the heart to stay any longer.
"Miss, it's time for us to go back. β
"You go back first, I want to pick up a little more. β
Xiaoluo finally gave her a deep look, shook his head and turned to leave.
"Damn, how could I follow such an unassuming master? Why don't you become a monk and become a nun?" Xiao Luo muttered in his heart.
The endless flower field, where the flowers are in full bloom, suddenly there was a change, and a piece of land at the end of the good end suddenly rose up, and a human head appeared.
"Elders, this is it. β
A man in black crawled out of the ground, followed by several more old men in black who climbed out of the ground, all of whom had the same special totem on their black clothes, which belonged to a large family.
"A few elders rest assured, this secret path has taken a year to dig by his subordinates, and this time he will definitely be able to take Miss Ru'er out of Ling Tian Palace. The slightly younger man led by him swept around, his eyes suddenly fixed on a certain direction, and said excitedly, "Look, isn't that the eldest lady?"
"Ru'er!" one of the old men shouted in the direction of Shangguan Ru'er. They didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and as soon as they got out of the secret passage, they bumped into the person they were looking for.
Shangguan Ru'er raised her head from the flower field, and suddenly saw a few people emerging from the ground, her face changed in shock: "You, how did you get in?"
That nightmare repeated again, and her mind thundered, as if she had returned to that bloody and sinful night. She can't go back with them, and if she doesn't go back to Shangguan's house, it's a nightmare!
"Helpβ" she shouted, ripping her throat open.
Several people from the Shangguan family glanced at each other, and the figure of the young man in black suddenly flickered, floated behind her, picked up the knife, and slashed at the back of her neck. Until he witnessed her unconscious, he bent down and picked up Shangguan Ru'er, and followed several elders back to the secret passage underground.
At the end of the month, Long Qianjue finished the affairs of the palace and returned to the bedroom, but he didn't see Yunxi.
Thinking that after she saw Shangguan Ru'er today, she had been looking unhappy, and he was quite uneasy, not knowing what he had done wrong.
"Where's Madame?" he asked, arresting a disciple who was guarding near the bedroom.
The disciple replied, "Madame has never returned. β
Suddenly, remembering what the Cloud Protector had reported during the day, Long Qian's eyebrows tightened, didn't she really go to Helian Zifeng's room?
Not wanting to suspect her, but with a faint uneasiness in his heart, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to check it out for himself.
Here, Yunxi made a sullen face and entered Helian Zifeng's room, without even looking at him, he sat straight in front of the table, holding his cheek with one hand, with a rather depressed look.
Helian Zifeng looked at her calmly, his gaze following all the way, and he found that his sense of existence in front of her was getting smaller and smaller. In the past, she always had an unspeakable fear when she saw him, and then there was an inexplicable complication, but now, he was almost empty and empty in front of her. He really couldn't say whether it was a good phenomenon or a bad phenomenon. If it is a good phenomenon, she no longer resists him, she will not hide away from him when she sees him as before, and she can go as far away from him as she can. If it's a bad thing, he really doesn't like it to be ignored......
"You don't look good. Almost all her feelings were written on her face, and two big "depressions" were engraved on her brain.
Yunxi's mouth squirmed lazily: "Do you know about the tragedy of the Shangguan family?"
His eyes darkened, Helian Zifeng lifted his robe and sat down opposite her: "You know! You want to ask if the rumors are true? You shouldn't ask me, you know I don't have a good impression of him." β
Yunxi sighed and said, "I know, so I want to hear you scold him a few words from your mouth, so that I may feel more comfortable." β
"......" Helian Zifeng was speechless.
"Am I having a hard time serving?"
"......" Helian Zifeng continued to remain silent.
"Do you smile at a beautiful woman when you see her, the kind that smiles gently?"
"......" Helian Zifeng twisted his eyebrows and continued to be silent.
"I forgot about it, I haven't seen you smile so far. This question is hard for you. β
"......" Helian Zifeng had a few black lines on his forehead, and he found that she was really not afraid of him and did not reject him, but he was very unceremoniously regarded as the object of pouring out his bitterness.
He smiled wryly, right?
Yunxi was silent for a moment, then suddenly got up and said, "Okay, let's start." β
Helian Zifeng was a little messy, and she couldn't keep up with her jumping train of thought at all.
The dim candle flame reflected on the window paper, and two figures could be faintly seen slowly approaching and moving......
Not far from the room, there was a dark shadow hiding in the corner, his eyes fixed on the room, he was none other than the Cloud Protector. Adhering to his incomparable loyalty to the Lord, he firmly remembered the Lord's instructions and helped the Lord's eyes to keep an eye on Helian Zifeng, so that he would not abduct his wife behind the Lord's back. To be honest, since he became the protector of the law, he hasn't done this kind of cat-to-wall thing for a long time, and he is still nervous in his heart, a little excited in the nervousness, and a little exciting in addition to excitement.
Just as he was staring at the excitement, someone suddenly approached behind him, he suddenly looked back, bumped into someone, and almost let out a low breath.
"Lord, my subordinates have been helping you keep an eye on Helian Zifeng, and so far, he hasn't even touched his wife's little hand. He laughed, and when he glanced at it, he suddenly saw two figures on the window paper next to each other, and he gasped, and his mind began to think about it.
Mother, Madame won't really have an affair with outsiders behind her back, right?
Seeing that the Venerable Lord was about to rush to the room, the Cloud Protector hugged Long Qianjue's tiger waist desperately: "Venerable Lord, you can't go! If you go now, where will your face go?"
Long Qianjue had a black line on his forehead, squinting at him, he didn't believe that Yunxi would really betray him, what was a mere shadow? Instead of blindly suspecting here, it was better to walk in generously and see what they were doing. Who thought that the Cloud Protector would suddenly hug him and stop him, he was speechless.
"Cloud Protector, what the hell are you doing?"
Yun Protector still hugged his waist and admonished: "Lord, you must not go! If this kind of thing is broken in front of you, then how can you and Madame live in peace in the future? Besides, if you just break in like this, Madame will definitely think that you are spying on her." While it is true that you are spying on her, can Madame be happy if she knows that she is being watched?"
Long Qianjue raised his eyes slightly, and after thinking about it, it seemed that there was some truth. He frowned coldly and said, "Then you go!"
"I, don't you, Lordβ" The Cloud Protector let go of his hand, a bitter look on his face. He was good at admonishing, but he didn't want to take this job on himself.
Long Qianjue threatened: "Go! Otherwise, you will be fined half a year's rations!"
The cloud protector turned his heart sideways, and he was out of the way: "Then the lord still punishes me with half a year's rations......"
Seeing that the corners of the Venerable Lord's lips were slightly hooked, as if smiling rather than smiling, and his eyes gradually deepened, the cloud protector suddenly felt a stirring in his heart, and changed his words very knowingly: "Okay, I'll go, I'll go!"
Like a little daughter-in-law, she moved her steps, turned around three times at a time, and finally walked less than ten steps away from the door, and the cloud protector suddenly turned around and ran back to the corner.
"Why are you back again, huh?" Long Qianjue narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes sparkled.
Yun Protector sneered and said: "Venerable Lord, my subordinates have thought of a good way, it is better to let the little young master invite Madame, so that the name is justified, and Madam will not doubt it." β
Xiao Mo Long Qianjue pondered, it also made sense, Yun Protector came forward, it didn't seem to be much different from his own appearance, but if it was his son, then he could completely dissociate himself.
"Go!" he approved the idea of the Cloud Protector.
In the room, Yunxi sat cross-legged on the stool, ready to meditate.
"Why don't you start yet?"
"Here he comes. Helian Zifeng turned his head to stare in the direction of the window, the corners of his mouth were slightly outlined, and for some reason, he suddenly felt ridiculous. In order to prevent him from approaching Yunxi, Long Qianjue can be described as full of strange tricks, and he did everything he could, which made him hate it and couldn't help laughing. In the past two days of getting along, he has become more and more familiar with Long Qianjue, he is simply a scoundrel, naΓ―ve, domineering, and cunning man! If there is no conflict of interests between them, there is no distinction between good and evil, and they do not like the same woman, maybe they can really coexist peacefully, right?
Yunxi followed his gaze and looked out the window, and she couldn't see the outside scene from the room at all, but she believed Helian Zifeng's judgment, and at this time, he should also go back to the room to find her. If he can't see her, he should be in a hurry, right?
"Then let's go another day. She jumped off the stool, and suddenly remembered what had happened during the day, and she paused. Why is she eating his messy flying vinegar every time, since he wants to peep, then she also let him taste what the vinegar taste like, so as to teach him to be more restrained in the future, don't mess with flowers and grass outside.
"I'll have a cup of tea before I go. She sat back down, a wicked smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
"I'll pour you tea. Helian Zifeng's eyes darkened, and his right hand rubbed her arm, went to fetch the teapot on the table, and poured tea for her. He deliberately fell very slowly, and the posture and angle of his leaning over were reflected on the window paper, which just covered the small half of Yunxi's figure, creating an ambiguous projection. The corners of his prismatic lips also curved, and the essence of his eyes swept by.
"Damn!" Long Qianjue's forehead jumped violently, and he was about to rush forward, but in the end he stopped alive. He has to be calm, he can't just rush in so presumptuously, Xi'er will not betray him, he has to believe her.
Helian Zifeng, wait and see!
After waiting for a while, Yun Xiaomo arrived under the guidance of the Cloud Protector.
"Daddy, what's the matter with me?"
Long Qianjue squatted in front of his son and said with a light smile: "Xiaomo, didn't you say that you want to sleep with your father and mother tonight? β
Yun Xiaomo glanced in the direction of the room suspiciously, scratched his head and said, "Why didn't Daddy call?"
Long Qianjue coughed lightly: "...... Daddy didn't like Uncle Helian, so he didn't want to meet him. β
Yun Xiaomo looked at him with small eyes, a little unconvinced, but still nodded and said, "Then Xiaomo went." β
Long Qianjue patted his little face, and didn't forget to instruct: "Remember, don't mention Daddy!"
"Oh. Yun Xiaomo nodded, and walked to the door of the room.
It's still a son, it came in handy at the critical moment, Long Qianjue hooked his lips and smiled with satisfaction.
There was a knock on the door, and the two people in the room looked at each other, like a mirror in their hearts.
"Who?" Helian Zifeng went to open the door.
Yun Xiaomo said sweetly outside the door: "Uncle Helian, I'm Xiaomo, I'm looking for my mother." β
The door creaked open, revealing Yun Xiaomo's cute and sweet little face, Helian Zifeng glanced at him, and then crossed him, his eyes penetrated the black night, staring at the dark corner in the distance. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling but not smiling, with a kind of understanding.
"Mother!" Yun Xiaomo bypassed Helian Zifeng's huge body and ran towards Yunxi with his calves.
"Xiaomo, what are you doing here?" Yunxi's gaze drifted to the door, and she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, as long as she thought of him hiding in a corner outside the door, her mood was very good, and the depression and gloom in the day were swept away.
Yun Xiaomo twisted his little brows and asked, "Mother, did you quarrel with your father?"
"Why do you ask?" Yunxi looked down at his son.
Yun Xiaomo hooked his little hand towards her, and mysteriously leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Daddy, he is hiding outside, and he doesn't dare to come to see you." β
Yunxi hooked the corners of his lips evilly, and deliberately dragged out his voice so that people outside could hear: "Oh, it turns out that your father is learning from other people's cats......"
"Stinky boy, is this going to sell your Lao Tzu?" Long Qianjue shook the corners of his mouth in the dark, and in the end, he was actually betrayed by his son.
Yun Protector looked at the Venerable Lord sympathetically, this can't be blamed on him, who let the Venerable Master's character be so bad that even his own son betrayed him?
Long Qianjue chuckled bitterly and stepped out of the shadows.
At this time, a figure hurriedly rushed towards him: "Lord, it's not good! Miss Shangguan is goneβ"
The person who came was none other than Xiao Luo, who was accompanying Shangguan Ru'er, and her shout not only alarmed Long Qianjue, but also made Yunxi in the room rush out of the room.
Shangguan Ru'er is gone? How could it be? I only saw her during the day.
"What's going on?" asked Long Qianjue.
The slave and maid accompanied the young lady to pick flowers in the afternoon, and then the young lady said to let the slave and maid go back first, she wanted to stay alone for a while, so the slave and the maid went back first. As a result, I waited for a long time in Xiaozhu, but I didn't see Miss come back, and the slave went back to the flower field that was separated from Miss to look for it, but only found an overturned flower basket, and the bead hairpin on Miss's head, and nothing else was found. β
Xiao Luo handed the pearl hairpin in his hand to Long Qianjue.
"Are you sure this is her pearl hairpin?" Long Qianjue frowned slightly.
Xiao Luo replied affirmatively: "There will be no mistake, the slave maid personally put it on for the young lady in the early morning." β
"Miss, she has always lived in the peach blossom building, has no quarrel with the world, has never had an argument with anyone, and has never seen outsiders. After meeting the lord and the lady today, the young lady had an accident...... "Xiao Luo's pointed eyes aimed at Yunxi, and when she found that Shangguan Ru'er was missing, her first thought was that this matter was related to Yunxi. Compare her heart to her heart, if she is Yunxi, after seeing her possible rival, she will definitely want to get rid of it with her own hands. If she can think like this, Yunxi will definitely think so, so she is suspicious of Yunxi.
Receiving her suspicious looks, Yunxi's gaze suddenly sank, and he said coldly, "What do you mean by this? Do you want to say that something happened to her and had something to do with me?"
"The slave doesn't dare! The slave just wants to say that the young lady has never interacted with people in Ling Tian Palace, how could she get into trouble for no reason?" Xiao Luo's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and even magnified Yunxi's suspicion.
Yunxi glared at her coldly, anger surging up, and at the same time, she was also worried that Long Qian would definitely suspect her, after all, she was indeed very unkind to Shangguan Ru'er during the day. If it is said that she murdered Shangguan Ru'er because she was jealous, it makes sense, now it depends on whether Long Qianyou will believe her.
Will he believe her?
Yunxi's heart was very uncertain.
Even she couldn't trust him 100 percent, so how could she ask him to give her 100 percent trust?
Her mind was a little shaken, and she was afraid that she would hear an answer she didn't want.
"Shut up! Who dares to doubt Madame, just like doubting the deity!" Long Qianjue didn't want to think about it, and scolded Xiaoluo loudly.
"Cloud Protector, order to go down, everyone in the palace will go out, search everywhere, and be sure to find people as much as possible. β
"Xi'er, I'm ......"
Yunxi interrupted him, and happily evoked a smile: "You go......! I'm sorry!"
His complete belief made her ashamed and guilty.
Trust is the most precious, but it is also the most difficult to keep.
Compared to him, she is far inferior.
Looking at him with confused eyes, Yunxi shook his head: "It's nothing, go ahead!"
"Wait until I get back. Long Qianjue clasped the back of her head, decisively imprinted a kiss on her forehead, declaring his ownership, and then strode away with the Cloud Protector and the few disciples who accompanied Xiaoluo.
Xiaoluo followed closely and wanted to leave, but let Yunxi clasp her shoulder: "You stop me!"
Xiao Luo was shocked in his heart, and looked back in a panic: "Madame-"
At Shangyunxi's sharp and cold eyes, her heart became even more flustered, could she be settling accounts with herself? She was still suspicious of her just now, and put the charge of Shangguan Ru'er's disappearance on her head......
"If I'm not mistaken, the last time Granny Yang had an accident, it was a trap set by you and Leng Mei'er, right?" Yunxi stared at her with both eyes, and looked at Xiaoluo and wanted to lower his head to the ground.
"Madame, the slave doesn't know what you're talking about. β
"Is it true that I don't know, or is it false that I don't know?" Yunxi threatened.
Xiaoluo's legs hit the hem, almost fell, and finally stood still, her neck raised, and she insisted on her tone: "The slave really doesn't know." β
"It's hard-mouthed, isn't it?" Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and hooked his hand towards the two disciples who came from a distance, "You two come here!"
"Ma'am. Two disciples stepped forward to answer.
Yunxi stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiaoluo: "She, it's a reward for the two of you!"
The two disciples looked at each other, a little surprised, but still took the order: "Yes, madam." β
Xiaoluo's legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground: "Don't! Madame spares her life! The slave knows that she is wrong! The slave and the maid move, all of them!"
Yunxi curled her lips coldly, listening carefully to all the details of her confession.
"Madam, the slave is really unintentional. Granny Yang treats the slave and maid as kind as a mountain, and the slave and maid will never harm her. β
"So, the person you really want to harm is me?" The coldness on Yunxi's face became even thicker.
"Madame spare her life!
Yunxi looked down at her from top to bottom, watching her kneel and beg for mercy, she didn't have a trace of softness. A villain like Xiao Luo, who has a sinister mind, would be a scourge to keep it! Now that Ling Tiangong is surrounded by strong enemies, he must not stir up civil strife again, so ...... Xiaoluo can't stay!
"Why don't you take her away?" her ruthless words decided Xiaoluo's fate.
The two disciples woke up at this time, and it turned out that the lady was not just scaring and scareping, but serious. There was a burst of joy in their hearts, not to mention, it was really a long time since they had opened meat.
"Thank you, Madame, for the reward. β
The two of them happily carried the crying and noisy Xiaoluo and carried her back to their quarters.
"Why don't you just kill her?" Helian Zifeng said in a deep voice.
Yunxi stared at somewhere in the night sky, and said coldly: "She, it's not worth my own hands!" Not to mention that there was also her son present, she didn't want her son to see her hands stained with blood, sometimes killing people, not needing to do it herself.
The two disciples who carried Xiaoluo to the residence were very excited as if they had won the jackpot. Madame rewarded them with a woman for no reason, how could they live up to Madame's kindness?
"This girl looks pretty good! On weekdays, she looks high-spirited, and doesn't take us seriously at all, but now Madame has rewarded her to us, see how she can be domineering?"
"Do you go first, or do I go first?"
"Why don't you guess the boxing?"
Xiaoluo looked at the two people in the discussion in horror, and shrank into the corner of the bed, while exclaiming: "You all get out of me!
"You're just a little girl, and it's your honor to want you. You say we're not worthy, so who is worthy?"
Xiao Luo raised his chin awe: "Only the Lord is worthy of me, the others, don't even think about it!"
"Hahaha...... Are you daydreaming? How can a mediocre little girl like you dream of? Hahaha, I'm really laughing to death!"
"It's up to you, and you want to fight with your wife, you're really whimsical!"
"Don't talk nonsense with her! Madame's reward, don't be in vain!"
Seeing the two of them walking towards the side of the bed one after another, Xiao Luo's awe-inspiring expression gradually collapsed: "You guys...... You don't want to tarnish my innocence!" and with a burst of strength all over her body, she rushed out of bed and slammed her head against the wall.
Xiaoluo's dream was disappointed, and in order to protect his innocence, he finally chose to cut off his life
When Yunxi learned the news that she had committed suicide, she was not surprised at all, but asked her to bury her well.
"Madam, the Venerable Lord has discovered a secret passage leading to the outside of Ling Tian Palace in the flower field, and now the Venerable Lord has led people to chase after it. The lord asked his subordinates to tell his wife not to worry. β
Long Qianjue went this time, but he didn't return for three days.
The Ice Protector, the Yan Protector and the Cloud Protector also went together to track down Shangguan Ru'er's whereabouts, and the elite masters of Ling Tian Palace were gone, leaving only Yunxi, Long Qianchen and Dugu Mou to guard Ling Tian Palace, and Helian Zifeng as a guest.
Under such circumstances, Ling Tian Palace ushered in an unprecedented crisis - the five Supreme Elders of the Duanmu Family came together!
"Sister-in-law, what should I do? The people of the Duanmu family are menacing, saying that they are here to get back the artifact and their little lady. Long Qianchen had already gone out to take a look at the Duanmu family earlier, but he had to return to the palace for help. At the critical moment, he still wanted to believe Yunxi, and always felt that nothing could stump her.
In the hall, Yunxi was in the main position, Helian Zifeng was sitting in the first position on the left, and there was a Dugu Mou standing aside with a sword, and when Long Qianchen's words fell, the whole hall was silent, each with his own thoughts.
Yunxi raised her eyebrows and pondered, with her own strength, if she wanted to fight against the five masters, it would be equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg, and she would not be able to measure herself. And Helian Zifeng's identity is more sensitive and special, if it is not necessary, he is not suitable to show his face, not to mention that she is not sure if she can say that Helian Zifeng can help her protect Ling Tiangong.
As for Dugumou, he may be able to help, but he is still too thrilling to fight against the five masters alone.
There was no certainty of victory, and she was reluctant to let him take the risk, because he was her friend, and she couldn't let her friend risk his death.
The only hope at the moment is the power of the artifact.
If you can truly master the power of the artifact, let alone deal with the five masters, even if it is doubled, it will not be a problem.
"Help me break the seal, please!" she looked at Helian Zifeng with a determined gaze.
Helian Zifeng stared at her quietly for a long time, bowing slightly.
To the north of Ling Tian Palace, the Duanmu family masters from the Northern Xiang Kingdom easily dealt with the wave of Ling Tian Palace disciples who were coming one after another, and they waited at the checkpoint in the north, not daring to rush forward. It was rumored that Ling Tian Palace's traps were particularly powerful, making it impossible for people to guard against them, so they didn't dare to trade in, but waited in place, waiting for the people of Ling Tian Palace to give an explanation.
"Elder Hui, we must get the artifact and Xiao Jing's girl together before Duanmu Xiong. Otherwise, when Duanmu Xiong holds the artifact and Xiao Jing in his hands, we will no longer have a foothold in the Duanmu family. β
"Yes, Duanmu Xiong is very short-sighted! He learned that we were all involved in the plan to hunt down and persecute his granddaughter, and he would not let us go, and Elder Zhong's fate is the best proof of this. β
"I just inquired that Long Qianjue and his three Dharma Protectors have all left Ling Tian Palace and have not returned. At this moment, Ling Tian Palace's strength is empty, let's just take the opportunity to attack and grab people, and when Long Qianjue comes back, I'm afraid it won't be easy. β
"Is your message true?"
"There shouldn't be anything wrong, I just learned from the torture from the disciples of Ling Tian Palace. β
"Great! I heard that Long Qianjue's wife and son are in the palace, let's take the artifact and Xiao Jing, and then capture his wife and son, see where Long Qianjue can be rampant when the time comes!"
The five masters sneered and rippled, their eyes full of calculations.
At this time, an ethereal smile came from a distance: "Kidnapping wives and children is really what the ten major families are best at! I'm here, but you're here to catch me?"
