4. Northern Qi Dynasty|Bronze mask, King Lanling

Well, she's really crazy.

Yun Yao smiled lightly, held the scissors close to the steplady, and said softly, "Ah Yao's madness was cured as early as last night. But if Ah Yao's madness is not cured, where can I hear what she just said? Those sincere and touching words......"

She leaned against the stepwife's ear and whispered, "Your hatred for my mother is also out of jealousy. ”

"Noβ€”" The step-lady screamed, reaching out to push her away. But Yun Yao's strength was greater than hers, and she was slightly half a head taller than her, so she easily stopped her movements. The step-lady struggled in her hand for a moment, and suddenly bit down hard, leaving a deep tooth mark on Yun Yao's wrist.

Yun Yao smiled and said, "Mother is really annoyed and angry. ”

The step-lady writhed as she tried to grab the scissors. But Yun Yao held the scissors high, and the step-lady couldn't reach it at all. She opened her mouth to bite again. Yun Yao had already put the sharp blade on the back of her neck, and said softly, "Mother wants to try?" ”

The implication was that if she took another bite, blood would splatter on the spot.

The step-lady was scared. She looked at Yun Yao fixedly, and said in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do?" ”

Yun Yao said slowly: "I don't want anything, I just want to get some justice." As she spoke, she got up from the couch and rubbed her wrist. As soon as the stepwife relaxed, she jumped up from the low couch, took two steps back, pressed her back against the door, and looked at her stepdaughter warily.

Yun Yao said idly: "Mother, be careful, someone will come in at any time outside." ”

Before she finished speaking, there was a tuk tuk knock outside the door, and then someone pushed the door in and asked repeatedly, "Is my sister there?" My sister plucked a bouquet of flowers for you...... Ay? Mother? Mother??? As he spoke, he helped the step-lady who had fallen to the ground to her feet.

The person who came was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he looked like Yun Yao six or seven points, but he was more bright and moving.

When the step-lady saw the man, she suddenly withdrew her hand, and her face was shocked and angry, as if she wanted to speak, but she did not know where to start even half a word. Yun Yao leisurely played with the scissors and said with a smile: "Why is my mother dumb?" You might as well repeat what you just said. ”

The person who came came sighed, pounced on and covered Yun Yao's mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about!" How can you be disrespectful to your mother! ”

Yun Yao glanced at her sideways, guessing that she was probably the sister of this body and the eldest lady in everyone's mouth. She raised her hand, pointed to the furnishings in the room one by one, and said, "This brocade quilt is poisonous, the tassel is poisonous, the pillow is poisonous, and the rouge gouache is also poisonous." Sister, you see, I have lived in this poisonous house since I was a child, how can I not talk crazy? ”

The visitor was startled and said in astonishment: "No, can't it?" These are all ...... mother's own hands."

She then thought that since her sister contracted madness, she had lived alone in the most secluded courtyard of the mansion, and that few people would come over except herself and Ah Cui; And because my sister is crazy and stupid, I don't even have a handkerchief, if there is really a problem in the house-

That's, no one knows!

The step-lady screamed, "Sheβ€”she's talking crazy! ”

Yun Yao said meaninglessly: "Whether I'm talking crazy or not, you can let people check it out and find out." It's a secluded room that very few people will come to investigate, and you shouldn't be too careful with your hands. As for the traces left behind, there will naturally be them. ”

The step-lady's face turned pale, she took two steps back, shook her head, and said, "No, no......"

She wanted to retreat, but behind her was the door, and beyond that was the main hall; Although there was a window in front of it, in front of the window stood the two girls left by the first lady. The big one's face was blue and white, as if he had heard something incredible; The little one had a faint look, but there was a hint of gloom in her eyes, thinking that she had to be punished.

"Someone!" The eldest lady shouted, "Go and ask the old lady to come over, and then go and invite two doctors to come over and treat my sister!" My sister is getting better today, don't delay the time for treatment! Hurry up and please! ”

Everyone in the house knew that the second lady was born stupid, but the eldest lady was quite dignified, so after hearing the words of the eldest lady, she went busily. Mrs. Stepmuro stood there in a daze, thinking that she couldn't walk, and she couldn't move, but she was stupid for a while.

Yun Yao breathed a faint sigh of relief, and secretly thought, then just wait.

――――――――――――――――

Things quickly became clear.

There was a big problem in that room, and a big one.

From clothes, hats, shoes and socks to pillows and bedding, almost everything is poisonous. What's more, the doctors even turned out a nest of toads in the mouse hole in the corner of the wall, the kind of toad with highly poisonous body, if it was accidentally touched by the second lady, even if it was not dead, it would be half disabled.

The step-lady was taken away. According to the rules of the clan, her punishment will definitely not be light. And according to the old lady's intentions, the cause of the death of the first lady must be thoroughly investigated, and maybe it has a lot to do with this person. Their father, the master of the mansion, hurried over, looked at Yun Yao with a guilty face, and didn't speak for a long time.

The eldest lady asked beside her, "Is my sister good?" ”

Yun Yao said, "Sister doesn't need to worry, it's already good." ”

"Crooked." The old lady tapped on her back and said sternly, "How can it be considered a great deal?" Look what you just said and what you did! …… Well, my mind is clearer than before, but it is still not healed. ”

Yun Yao was dumbfounded. She kind of knows who she learned from that way of Miss Atsui.

The eldest lady touched her head and comforted: "Sister, don't panic, since you are better now, sooner or later you will be cured." ”

Yun Yao took her hand down unhappily, and thought in frustration that she was really not crazy or stupid.

In the blink of an eye, it was dinner time. Well, it's called a twilight eclipse. For more than ten years, the second lady can finally sit at the same table with them, but the majestic stepwife of the past is gone. The lord of the mansion took out a letter during the banquet, which was written by the patriarch, saying that he wanted to take the two ladies to Yecheng together, and there were important things for them to do.

But anything important, the letter did not say.

The mansion lord's eyes looked around, and finally fell on the eldest lady: "What does the eldest lady think?" ”

The eldest lady pondered for a moment and said, "Since it was the patriarch who spoke, it was naturally the right thing to go." ”

Yun Yao just got up: "I ......" was pressed down by the mansion master. She was a fool now, and a fool with a slight improvement in her insaneness, and her opinions were never in the scope of consideration. The lord of the mansion thought for a moment and said, "Since the eldest lady thinks it is appropriate, then you will go to Yecheng together." Your grandmother and I will pick two more maids out and serve you closely, which is more convenient. ”

The eldest lady agreed: "Father is thoughtful. After all, Yecheng is the place of the eldest uncle and the eldest uncle, and it is a little uncomfortable to use people. ”

――――――――――――――

The matter of going to Yecheng was thus decided. After the twilight eclipse, each of them returned to the house. Yun Yao didn't have a big maid by her side, so Miss Acui sent her back to the house. According to the old lady, Miss Acui is playing a minor tune. The housekeepers who taught her have always been loyal, and they will go to Yecheng with her in two days.

After Yun Yao rested in the house for a while, she returned to that out-of-body state, and the whole person floated lightly, floated out of the windows and beams, and stood on the bustling street. It's almost dusk outside, and there are fewer pedestrians. The defenders at the gate sat in twos and threes, sighing a little.

"It's the Turks again......"

"This is the first time......"

"If you don't send reinforcements to Yecheng, the city will be broken......"

Yun Yao crossed the city gate lightly and came to the original wilderness. A large number of people in the wilderness were pressed by the black, and the fighting became more and more intense. The general he had just met sneered, wiped the blood from his face, and shouted two words loudly in Turkic. Suddenly, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder and call his name again.

The general looked back, and a mask with blue fangs appeared in front of him, almost scaring him to death.

"You... You, you, you, you ......" The general trembled for a long time, and finally held back a sentence, "Lao Tzu didn't let the Turks kill them, but made you scared half to death." What do you say you're doing with this mask? Pretending to be a demon? As he spoke, the general stretched out his spear and picked it off, about to remove the man's mask.

The man tilted his head slightly, avoided the general's spear, and said in a low voice: "Just now I leaned out from the left flank and picked the opponent's main account. If you still have the strength, let me charge for a while, and when the war is over, you can go into the city and rest again. ”

The general glanced at him: "The so-called 'reinforcements' just now are the soldiers under your account?" ”

The man hummed lowly, turned his horse's head, and galloped away in the direction of the Turks' retreat.

"Tsk, Changgong, poor Kou Mo chase......"

The general's words were stuck in his throat, and he wiped the blood on his face again, raised his spear high, and raised his voice: "Kill with me!" ”

"Killβ€”"

The rumbling drums of war resounded across the wilderness, and the soldiers shouted louder. Countless reinforcements poured in from the east and south into a torrent, overwhelming the remaining Turks. The ancestor did say that the poor Kou Mo chased, but he also said that ten rules surrounded him.

Reinforcements have already rushed over in an endless stream, and if they are not surrounded and annihilated, they will inevitably miss the opportunity.

Yun Yao stopped and watched for a moment, and suddenly sighed softly.

That person just now was ......

King Lanling?!

The god of war of the Northern Qi Dynasty who has not been born for a hundred years, the king of Lanling who picks up thousands of troops on horseback?
