86. Follow-up development

Leaving the quiet Lixue Palace without looking back, Jiang Qiantong's bloody cry seemed to echo in his ears, Xi Yutang almost hurriedly went down the mountain, and after meeting Xue Yang, he galloped and left Quning City in the starry night.

After a day and a night of sleeplessness, when she walked into the smoke and rain platform, she almost had weak legs.

After letting Xue Yang go to rest, she walked towards Xi Yulan's Yunyan Garden. Time slowly passed by Shenshi, and there was silence in Yunyan Garden, neither Xi Yulan nor Changge had come back. Standing outside the door for a while, Xi Yutang cleaned up his mood a little, and then turned around and left.

When he came to the main courtyard, Qiu Yuan happened to come out of it with a basin of water, and suddenly saw her, stunned, "Sect Master Xi ......"

The person in front of him was dusty, looking extremely tired, there was no previous look between his eyebrows and eyes, lifeless, and the whole person was also much deeper, seeing Qiu Yuan's heart trembling, he just stood in place and didn't dare to move.

"Where are you going?" Xi Yutang looked at him.

"Fetching water......" Qiu Yuan replied reflexively.

Blinking, she said softly, "I'll go with you, you will go to Shaoguang in a while, let her turn over my clothes and change them out, and then notify Xiaomei that I am back, so that he doesn't have to worry." ”

"Huh?" Qiu Yuan was confused, "You want to freshen up?" Then, then you go in and rest, and I'll go and prepare it for you. ”

"No, I'll change my clothes first." Xi Yutang insisted on not entering the main hall.

“……”

Roughly understanding her intentions, Qiu Yuan didn't dare to refute anymore, but he was also afraid that she would really follow, so he had to take the person to the guest room in the side hall first, and then quickly prepared a qiē. Xi Yutang took a simple bath, washed off the dust, and walked into the inner room of the main hall directly wrapped in a thick coat.

Yue Qingfeng leaned on the head of the bed soberly, his hair was scattered, he was holding a book in his hand, and he didn't raise his head, "You're back?" ”

"Hmm."

Xi Yutang raised his eyes to look at him, and found that his face was much better than before she left, and his heart was slightly relieved. She had just freshened up, and her whole body was still damp, but the lingering tiredness around her surrounded her like a cage, "When did you wake up?" ”

"You haven't been gone long." Yue Qingfeng turned the page of the book elegantly, "It's not that you don't want to come in?" ”

...... "You misunderstood, I want to bathe first, otherwise I'm afraid you will scold me......

Even if Xi Yutang knew that he was angry, he had to admit that when he saw this young master of the Yue family who was always indifferent, his heart could not help but calm down.

She stood still, distracted, until Yue Qingfeng looked up at her and said lightly, "What are you doing standing there......

Before he finished a sentence, he discovered her abnormality. Slowly put down the book, took the wrong love of the person in front of him into his eyes, and before he could ask a question, Xi Yutang suddenly raised his hand to untie the big dan and threw it on the back of the chair accurately, and then climbed onto the bed with a quick movement, bypassed the person to the inside, lifted the quilt and lay in.

"Lend you a little sleep here, and remember to wake me up when my brother comes back."

Yue Qingfeng was completely stunned by her series of movements without pause, and she didn't even have time to react, so she was stunned to see her lying down beside her, and it took a while before she realized that she was hit directly by her ball, and her heartbeat like a drum rang through her ears.

He blinked, came back to his senses completely, and looked down for her, "Although I also want you to sleep here, but I am sick, and I will pass the illness to you." ”

"It's fine." Xi Yutang lifted the quilt over his head, and the whole person was smothered in, leaving only a long black hair spread on the soft pillow.

“……”

Yue Qingfeng finally sensed that something was wrong, coughed restrainedly, and asked, "What's wrong?" Where have you been these days? ”

Xi Yutang was silent.

Stretched out his hand to tear off the quilt on top of her head, revealing a pair of red eyes, the younger the lord was slightly stunned, completely panicked, Fang Cai's inexplicable qi had long since disappeared, and the anxiety and irritability that had not been seen for two consecutive days after waking up were gone, and the whole person sat up and looked at her nervously, "Why are you crying?" Tang Tang, don't scare me......"

Xi Yutang waved his hand away and knocked away the hand that was almost reaching his face, and said coldly, "I didn't cry." Still don't let people sleep? I haven't closed my eyes for almost three days, I'm very sleepy, and if I make any more noise, you can get out of here. ”

“……”

Whose bed is this......

Yue Qingfeng pursed her lips, withdrew her hand aggrievedly, and saw that she was clearly aware of something but didn't want to say anything, so she had to sigh and lie back obediently, thinking about asking when she woke up. But in the next second, an arm suddenly stretched out from the quilt, just pressing on his waist, and then, Xi Yutang's whole person came over, hugged him tightly, and buried his head deep in the gap between his body and the pillow, like a frosted eggplant, and his whole body was full of trembling fragility and exhaustion.

From the moment her arm was pressed up, the more the young lord froze there, not daring to move, thinking that he was hallucinating, but the touch around him was so distinct, he couldn't help but be happy and worried, and he didn't know how to move his hands, so he kept a strange posture and became a statue.

“…… Tang Tang? He whispered tentatively.

"Lend me a hug." Xi Yutang's voice was muffled, "...... When I'm asleep, you can just kick me over. ”

After all, the worry in her heart overpowered the joy, Yue Qingfeng turned sideways and hugged the person into her arms, sensing that her body was trembling extremely slightly, so nervous that she didn't know what to do, so she could only gently pat her back comfortingly, "...... What the hell is going on, you can sue me? ”

There was silence in the inner room.

After a long time, Xi Yutang's voice came out through the body, "...... I'm leaving the Snow Palace. ”

“……”

"In front of Qiantong, I abolished Liu Manyun's martial arts."

The hand patting her back paused slightly, and Yue Qingfeng raised her eyebrows in surprise. Shao leaned, hugged her arm tightly, felt Xi Yutang clutching his clothes, sighed in his heart, and his tone eased, "Guilty?" ”

"Nope."

"Regrets?"

"A little." in all directions.

Bowing his head and imprinting a kiss on her forehead, Yue Qingfeng said with a hint of a smile, "I know what to do, go to sleep." ”

Joy and sorrow will always feel the exhaustion oozing out of the bones, Xi Yutang just a few words, she has done everything in the past few days. She wanted to tell her brother the truth about her parents' tragic death as soon as possible, but Xi Yulan still hadn't returned in Qinggu, and she couldn't muster any spirit to deal with the end, but fortunately, there was still Yue Qingfeng.

She couldn't hold it anymore.

is not only tired, but also the huge impact of the truth of her parents' deaths, and Jiang Qiantong's grief in the end, all of which made her almost breathless.

The sentence 'I know what to do' easily made her let go of the big stone in her heart, the endless grievances and the exhaustion from the depths of her soul instantly flooded her limbs, smelling the reassuring medicinal fragrance around her, Xi Yutang's whole person quickly fell into a deep sleep.

I patted her back for a while, until the people around her came from steady breathing, Yue Qingfeng stopped moving, and quietly hugged the person and thought about something. Qiu Yuan crept in from outside, causing him to come back to his senses immediately, quickly preventing Qiu Yuan from speaking, and passing the voice into the secret to explain the next thing.

……

Xi Yutang slept in the dark, and the situation of Xi Zhimiao and Tang Zhiyan before their death in her dream has been repeatedly interpreted in her mind, one will be they besieged to death, one will be the sky-high fire on the snowy mountain, one will be Jiang Qiantong's pain, and one will be the scene where she kneels in front of her parents' clothed grave and swears revenge, back and forth, chaotic.

When she woke up, she had a splitting headache, her limbs were sore, she didn't know what it was, and she was so tired that she didn't seem to be asleep at all.

Yue Qingfeng was no longer around, and the entire inner room of the main courtyard was silent. The sky outside the window was bright, and it hurt her eyelids. It took a while to get used to the light, struggling to sit up from the bed, Xi Yutang rubbed his groggy and painful temples to wake up, and wanted to speak, but found that his throat was hot and dry.

Turned over and got out of bed and poured herself a cup of tea, warm the tea, so that she finally sobered up a little. This feeling of hangover was really unpleasant, and it was rare to feel inert, she hesitated, and then climbed back into bed, holding the quilt and leaning against the bed in a daze.

After a while, someone pushed the door open. Yue Qingfeng was dressed thick and solid, holding Tang Pozi in her hand, looking like she had just recovered from a serious illness, and when she woke up, there was a smile in her eyes.

"Drink water?" He spoke.

Xi Yutang shook his head.

"Hungry?"

Keep shaking your head.

Yue Qingfeng came to the bed and sat down, put his hand on her forehead, the temperature was normal, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was a little bigger, "I have to eat something anyway, I asked Qiu Yuan to bring the food, if you don't want to get out of bed, just freshen up here and eat on the bed." ”

"Okay." Xi Yutang nodded, "What time is it?" ”

"A moment in the hour." Yue Qingfeng turned his head and coughed twice, "You slept for a day and two nights." ”

…… So long?

Xi Yutang looked at him in surprise, but soon regained his composure, and didn't even bother to say a word.

Seeing that she unexpectedly didn't mention the matter to herself, Yue Qingfeng was also surprised. didn't say much, just ordered Qiuyuan and Shaoguang, who were waiting outside, and sat down at the desk next to him and continued to deal with the matter at hand. In order to accompany Xi Yutang, he brought the affairs back here from the study, and when he was tired, he looked back at her sleeping face, which was also comfortable.

After eating, Xi Yutang's spirit recovered a lot, but he still couldn't get up on the bed, holding his head and looking at Yue Qingfeng not far away. The latter was stared at by her and the whole person was not very good, the pen fell and stopped, repeated twice, simply put it down, turned to face her, "Something?" ”

The man on the bed shook his head slowly.

Yue Qingfeng twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Away from the Snow Palace, Liu Manyun claimed to the outside world that there was a mistake in his practice and he needed to recuperate, and he had passed the position of palace master to Jiang Qiantong. The Lantern Festival after the year is the succession ceremony, do you want to go? ”

"No, no." Xi Yutang replied quickly this time, "You just go." ”

"I'm a patient." Yue Qingfeng glanced at her, "Send someone to send a congratulatory gift, just get all the gifts." ”

…… Xuantian and Lixue Palace are now completely torn apart, and they still give gifts?

Will Qiantong either?

Will it be thrown out?

"Help me tell Xue Yang and prepare a gift to send it, it's normal, just don't pick it out." Xi Yutang spoke lazily.

Yue Qingfeng nodded, turned around and picked up the pen again.

He provoked the words first, and now he doesn't say it again, Xi Yutang was left in the air as soon as he was aroused to be diligent, and it was so uncomfortable to go up or down, "Gone?" ”

"What more would you like to hear?" Yue Qingfeng's pen kept asking casually.

“……”

Don't say it.

The bored Xi Xiao Sect Leader turned over and looked at the top of the bed in a daze, and after a while, he couldn't help but look at the young man not far away, "You ......"

"If you can't sleep, get up." Yue Qingqing opened his mouth without raising his head.

“……”

If you can't afford it, you can't afford it!

I don't want to do anything now! Don't bother me with business!

Xi Yutang glared at him with a puffed face.

However, after a cup of tea, she couldn't help but speak, "Did you say something happened to my brother?" Why haven't you been able to see you for a few days? ”

Yue Qingfeng almost made a typo without holding back, and put down the pen helplessly and funny, "Ahem, near the end of the year, what can happen, senior brother has finally recovered, so he naturally has to make some plans." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not go down to Lingnan until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Qi will go to rest after seeing you, Shaoguang is the latter outside, Leng Yi was pulled by Xue Yang to do things, and I am finishing up from the Snow Palace, and it is almost over...... Ahem, what more do you want to ask? ”

“…… Nope. "You've said it all, okay?

Seeing that she was listless and nested back again, the younger Lord shook his head amusedly, and sat down at the desk again.

"What are you writing about?" Xi Yutang looked at it for a while and asked curiously.

“……”

Forced to put down the pen again in desperation, the young man stared at what he had written half of and let out a long sigh, blew dry the ink, and gave it to her, "See for yourself." ”

Xi Yutang glanced at it and couldn't take his eyes off, "Gift list...... For the Snow Palace? Qiantong uses a sword and can't play the piano, what are you sending the piano for? God, give it back to the 100-year-old ginseng...... What is Ice Glass? It sounds very expensive, hey, this old-fashioned jade is replaced, Qiantong likes beautiful jewelry and novelties, how about adding some jewelry? ”

Angrily took back the gift list, and said coolly, "The gift to the Snow Palace is still written by me?" This is an annual gift to Master. ”

“……”

"Besides...... Even if it's a succession ceremony, it's not for her alone, cough...... Let me send away the jewelry of the head of the Snow Palace? Are you sure? ”

Xi Yutang was embarrassed, and after thinking about his words, he was suddenly a little unhappy, "Then don't send it." ”

There's no such thing on the gift list, right?!

The less the Lord was so angry that his liver hurt, and he squinted at her coldly.

was teased by this glance, and Xi Yutang realized that he was a little out of tune, laughed dryly, and stopped talking.

Yue Qingfeng knew what she wanted to do, and said slowly, "I heard that a restaurant has just opened in Hangzhou City, and the signature dishes are very popular......

Before the words fell, Xi Yutang turned over and got out of bed without saying a word, and looked over with eyes as bright as stars, "Suxi, let's go out to eat at noon?" ”

…… Finally got up.

Obviously, he can't be idle, but he wants to trap himself, and he doesn't let him do things, and he is unreasonable...... Yue Qingfeng glanced at her, and slowly got up to pack her things.

Near noon, the little sect leader Xi Xiao, who was dressed in red men's clothes, with red lips and white teeth, dragged the young master of the Yue family, who had just recovered from a serious illness and was thin, out of the house. Shaoguang and Qiu Yuan accompanied him, his eyes were full of worries about the young master, and he always felt that he looked weak, and if the sect leader Xi accidentally pulled him, he could pull people into her arms......

The newly opened restaurant is called Yingkeju, the business is excellent, Xi Yue and the two found a place on the second floor facing the street to sit down, did not enter the box or sit in the lobby, they can hear the movement and at the same time are clean. Both of them are extremely good-looking people, with outstanding temperament, one is chic and elegant, and the other is calm and elegant, which soon attracted many people to look at them quietly.

It didn't take long for the people at the table downstairs to talk about the recent rumors, and when they heard the familiar words, Xi Yutang pricked up his ears.

“…… To say that this is also strange from the Snow Palace, the lord of the Liu Palace suddenly abdicated to make way for Xian, and it was good to watch her from a distance when she was in the capital, why did she suddenly go crazy? ”

"The way of martial arts is tortuous and dangerous, and the slightest carelessness is an abyss...... However, I never expected that it would be the first beauty Jiang Qiantong to succeed to the throne, and I thought it was the first apprentice Lu Jingrou woman......"

"You don't know this, I heard that the reason why Jiang Meiren succeeded to the throne is because Jiang Meiren has a very good relationship with our less lord. The lord of the Liu Palace has been accumulating power for many years, and suddenly there was an accident, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes staring at the fat of the Snow Palace, and now there is less face of the master, and those who want to get a piece of the pie have to weigh it, right? ”

"The less the Lord?!"

"It turns out that Jiang Nuxia and the younger ......"

“…… No, you kid is talking nonsense, how did Lao Tzu hear that this Jiang beauty is not clear with the Xuantian Sect Master? ”

"Wait, Xuantian Sect Master?! It's really fake, ho, this Jiang Palace Master really has a background and means. ”

"Why did Sect Master Xi pop up again? This is away from the Snow Palace, and it has fallen out with the Xuantian Sect, don't you know? The day before yesterday, Lu Jingrou led people to fight with Xuantian in Lingnan, and there were countless casualties. ”

"Is this brother serious? Is there an exact source? ”

"Of course, Lao Tzu's brother is from the Xuantian Sect Jiangnan Hall, it's true. But who knows if Jiang Meiren hated Sect Master Xi because of love? ”

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, in our Jiangnan realm, who doesn't know that the Xuantian Sect is powerful now? If it weren't for the younger lord in charge, this Jiangnan Gang would have fallen into the hands of Xuantian, and Brother Tai would be careful of the trouble. ”

"Tsk, then let's not talk about it, anyway, the succession ceremony of the Snow Palace on the fifteenth day of the first month, I'll wait to take a look, and I'll know when the time comes."

“…… If you want me to say, there is no need for this Liu Palace Master to abdicate so hastily to make way for Xian, it is a common thing for people who practice martial arts to have a bad body, and if it is really not possible, you can also go to ask Shen Shen, look at what you said, if Jiang Meiren really has a relationship with Sect Master Xi or Lord Yue, this is not a matter of words? It is true that Shen Shenshen is a person of Xuantian, but he has also treated the younger master for many years, and the old enemies of his own sect leader dare to treat him, not to mention the Liu Palace master? ”

"Well, what this brother said is to the point, it seems that there must be a secret in it."

"Alas...... Again, the enthronement ceremony on the fifteenth day of the first month, everyone will go and see it together. ”

“……”

That's a little bit more informative.

Xi Yutang looked up at Yue Qingfeng blankly, and the latter looked innocent, saying that he didn't want to hide it, but you didn't ask. The former twitched the corners of his mouth, and glanced at Shaoguang on the side, Shaoguang looked at the sky and the earth but didn't look at her.

"Leaving the Snow Palace and Xuantian at war?" Xi Yutang swept coolly towards the breeze.

"And there are many casualties." The latter slowly finished the conversation for her.

"Why don't you say it?"

"Didn't you make up your mind not to get down to business today?"

“…… Then you have to sue me. ”

"What's the use? The incident has happened, and Xue Yang has calmed down. ”

“……”

You're so daring.

Sect Leader Xi smashed the teacup with a snap, let go of his hand, and a wisp of fine foam fell, and was blown by the wind and sprinkled out of the window.

Yue Qingfeng was not surprised, and looked at her calmly, "Lu Jingrou didn't inform Jiang Qiantong of the action, and the Snow Palace is now divided into two factions, Liu Manyun is unconscious, and Jiang Qiantong can't hold her senior sister." You didn't hide it at all this time, and this result should also be thought of. ”

I thought about it, but I thought it was Jiang Qiantong's hand.

Xi Yutang suppressed the irritability in his heart and pouted, "Don't say half and leave half." ”

The person on the other side laughed, then coughed again, and it took a while to calm down, Xi Yutang glanced at him, raised his hand to cover the window, leaving only a small air outlet. Yue Qingfeng's eyes were stained with a smile, paused, and told the news he knew, "The treasure of the Snow Palace Town Sect was stolen, Liu Manyun didn't see anyone in retreat, although Jiang Qiantong received the order from the head, but his prestige was not enough to convince the public. Lu Jingrou counted the matter on Xuantian's head, Yu Jiang Qiantong disagreed, and the day before yesterday he led people to have a conflict with Xuantian, and because he was caught off guard, Xuantian did not have the upper hand. Afterwards, Lu Jingrou went back to see Liu Manyun, but the latter avoided it, reprimanded him, and was locked up. ”

He coughed and continued with a sigh of relief, "As for Wushan, the news spreads slowly, and now it coincides with the Lingnan snow disaster, and when the news is received, it will be about three or five days after the New Year." As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Xi Yutang, "Elder Lixue Palace doubts Liu Manyun's decision, Jiang Qiantong is in a dangerous situation, whether you want to push it or not, it's up to you." ”

Xi Yutang was silent.

The meals were quickly served, and several people ate quietly. It's just that the little sect leader Xi has something in his heart, and the delicious food tastes like chewing wax in his mouth. After a long time, she suddenly didn't raise her head and said, "What is your opinion?" ”

Yue Qingfeng lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, and replied softly and elegantly, "Wait." ”

"Hmm." Xi Yutang replied lightly, "Then let's wait." ”

She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and turned to look at Shaoguang, "Go and sue Xue Yang, Lu Jingrou killed my Xuantian disciple, I want her to have a hand, whether it is scrapped or chopped, let him take care of it himself." ”
