After the dynasty, the emperor summoned Xue Jian to the imperial study. He looked at Xue Jian for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "You arranged it." ”

Xue Jian readily admitted, "Isn't that great?" The white phase can fold a wing. ”

"It's for Ah Ying or for the White Party, you know in your heart." The emperor's expression was stern, "You should know in your heart which is more important, don't bring your children's private affairs to the affairs of the court." ”

Xue Jian was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Did Your Majesty think so back then?" ”

That's why he abandoned the Jiang family and didn't save it.

"You!" The emperor wanted to be angry, but in the end he held back, "What happened back then was not as simple as you thought. ”

Xue Jian didn't say anything more, and after saluting the emperor, he withdrew.

Seeing the grief on the emperor's face, Manager Li said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yunyang has not gone through the events of the year, and he doesn't know the inside story. He is at the age of strong blood, and it is inevitable that things will be simple. Your Majesty don't go to your heart. ”

The emperor smiled bitterly, "Maybe ...... He was really right, it was I who was too timid back then, it was I who lost Taifu's sincere heart, and it was I who failed Ah Rong, which made her hate Jiuquan. ”

"Majesty!" Li Qian said, "Although the old slave's words are arrogant, if His Majesty didn't know how to protect his life back then, I'm afraid it would not be the Jiang Taifu family who died, but more people." Once His Majesty is abolished, the eldest princess will not escape, and even more so the Concubine's family, as well as the Qiyang Palace, the Feng family, and the Cao family. How many ministers will die in that turmoil?! His Majesty is now in good health, and one day he will be able to overturn the case for the Jiang family and return their innocence. ”

"Yes!" The emperor's fist slowly smashed on the table, not heavy but extremely powerful, "I can't admit defeat yet." ”

The emperor took a notebook, but he was still thinking about the past. He opened it, looked at it for the first time, and threw it far away.

"Too much deception!"

Manager Li walked over and picked up the copy of the song—it said that the song asked the eldest son of the emperor to be the crown prince in order to consolidate the country. He put the notebook back on his desk and retreated to the Emperor's side.

The emperor closed his eyes tiredly, and Jiang Rong's figure seemed to appear in front of him. The hands hanging at his side clenched slowly.

He will not compromise.

As soon as Zhao Yushi got home, he locked himself in the study.

Mrs. Zhao was baffled by him, and finally caught her son and learned that Zhao Yushi had called someone to sue him in the court.

"Shameless Diaomin!" Mrs. Zhao scolded on her lips, but she was a little panicked in her heart. After she took a fancy to that piece of land, she instigated Zhao Yushi to buy it. I originally wanted to use it as a dowry for my sick eldest daughter, but I never expected such a thing to happen later.

Mrs. Zhao, who was in a hurry, suddenly remembered Xue Jian. Isn't Zhao Yutong fighting with Xue Jian? If Xue Jian, who is in the emperor's heart, is willing to exonerate Zhao Yushi, and Bai Xiang is maneuvering around it, this matter will be very promising.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao went to Zhao Yutong's room.

Zhao Yutong was choosing clothes to go to the Luoshui Lantern Festival, and when he saw Mrs. Zhao coming, he put down his clothes, "Mother." ”

Mrs. Zhao answered and sat down at the table. She looked at the clothes on the bed, and her heart was slightly settled.

"You're going to Luoshui tonight to see a wait?"

"Yes, Hou Ye Xue has already responded. Someone will be sent to pick me up in the evening. ”

Mrs. Zhao nodded with satisfaction, "Very good." She pulled Zhao Yutong, who didn't know what was going on, and said to her in the most kind tone, "Yutong, after you lost your mother when you were young, you have been raising you by my side, you touch your conscience and say, have I ever treated you badly?" ”

Zhao Yutong shook his head, "My mother has always treated me as her own daughter. ”

"Your brother and sister, your father, what about you?"

"My father treats me with kindness, and my eldest brother and sister also love me very much."

The smile on Mrs. Zhao's face became more and more intense, "The Zhao family has raised you for a long time, you should also do something for the family, right?" ”

Zhao Yutong's face was a little pale, could it be that Mrs. Zhao decided to marry herself? But she still trembled her lips and said: "Mother speaks straight, as long as her daughter can do it, she is naturally responsible." ”

Mrs. Zhao patted her hand gently, "It's good that you have this thought." She sighed, "Your father has asked someone to sue the emperor today, my mother thought, and asked you to beg to see Yunyang Hou." Haven't you been together a lot lately? I think the relationship is very close, if you open your mouth, Yunyang Hou will definitely agree. ”

Zhao Yutong is not so sure. She hesitated: "Marquis Xue is ...... to me It's not that ......."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao's face was pulled for a long time. She poked Zhao Yutong's forehead hard, "What's the use of the Zhao family, raising you?!" What's the use of your dad and me hurting you?! I can't count on some things at home, so it's better to have a dog, at least to watch the door. I've been so good to you for so many years! , gave birth to a white-eyed wolf! ”

Zhao Yutong knelt in front of Mrs. Zhao with a pale face, "Mother...... Mother, I, I'm going to try it at night......"

Mrs. Zhao's face was a little better, and her tone softened a lot, "It's not to try, but to succeed." Do you think your father has lost his official position, what qualifications do you have to compete with that little hoof of the Xie family for Yunyang Hou? ”

"My daughter knows." Zhao Yutong lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Mrs. Zhao, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves.

Mrs. Zhao's eyes rolled and said slowly: "I heard that the Marquis of Yunyang is quite a little unentered, so if you beg him like this, you may not be able to agree." She squinted at Zhao Yutong, "However, if Mrs. Yunyang Hou begged him, it might be much easier." ”

Zhao Yutong asked cautiously, "What does mother mean?" ”

"If you think about it, first cook mature rice with Yunyang Hou Shengmi." Mrs. Zhao clapped her hands and felt that this was indeed a method, "He can't eat and not admit it, right?" When the time comes, I will find some more people to make a noise, and you will wait for the eight sedan chairs to carry you into the Yunyang Hou Mansion. ”

"Yes...... In that case, her daughter's reputation ...... "Zhao Yutong hopes that Mrs. Zhao can still have room for reversal here, and she is very opposed to this method proposed by her mother-in-law." The Zhao family is trying to keep their official position, have they used any indiscriminate tricks? Don't you want to think about what if you are ruined by someone, Xue Jian gritted his teeth and didn't nod? And her sick eldest sister, can she really find her in-laws?

"At this time, what kind of face do you still care about, your reputation. I sue you, those are all false. As long as the Zhao family has a day of glory, it can keep your wealth for a day. Mrs. Zhao stood up and looked condescendingly at Zhao Yutong who was kneeling on the ground, "You remember it clearly for me, your surname is Zhao." It was the Zhao family who raised you as an adult, so that you could read and write, and you could marry into a high school. ”

Zhao Yutong knelt on the ground blankly, "My daughter knows." ”

Since Xue Jian promised that Zhao Yutong would go to the Luoshui Lantern Festival with her, she would definitely go to the appointment. He came to pick up Zhao Yutong in person. As soon as he saw what Zhao Yutong was wearing, he couldn't help frowning.

A thin raw silk light gauze wrapped Zhao Yutong's graceful figure, and her water-red stand-up collar lined her neck and white complexion. The peony flowers embroidered with gold thread on the jacket and the flower branches and bees and butterflies on the horse-faced skirt below complement each other. On his feet is a pair of white Hangluo shoes, and the toe is decorated with two small balls made of silk thread.

Zhao Yutong took off a string of glazed eighteen bracelets hanging from the strap of his jacket, and wore it on his wrist and crumbled, like her fallen horse bun, which made people feel weak and not weathered, and it was very graceful.

"Master Hou." Zhao Yutong saluted Xue Jian with a smile.

Xue Jian took a few steps in the opposite direction of her, and nodded lightly, "Get in the car." ”

Zhao Yutong bit his lower lip lightly, and at the moment when the carriage curtain was lowered, he asked, "Isn't Master Hou coming up?" ”

"I'm used to riding horses." Xue Jian only replied, then got on the horse and walked in front.

Zhao Yutong retracted his gaze in disappointment and sat alone in the carriage in a daze. She took out a small paper bag from her purse and squeezed it tightly in her hand. This was given to her by Mrs. Zhao before she left, telling her to be sure to put it in Xue Jian's wine and food.

Xue Jian walked for a while, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Yutong's carriage following him unhurriedly. He turned his horse's head, whispered a few words to the coachman, and turned into a small alley on the side. After a while, it came out again.

The coachman glanced at Xue Jian a few more times, but didn't say anything.

When the group arrived at Luoshui, it was already overcrowded. However, Xue Jian had already decided on the best tavern by Luoshui, but he was not afraid that he would not see the lanterns. It's just that there are too many people, so it's not good to drive the carriage in.

Xue Jian picked up Zhao Yutong, who got out of the carriage, and took her to the tavern. Zhao Yutong was a little flattered, it was the first time she was so close to Xue Jian.

The night was dark, and the candles in the tavern's private room shone ambiguously. Under such a light, Zhao Yutong's skin looming under the cover of the raw silk jacket is very provocative.

Zhao Yutong's eyes fluttered, and he cast a charming glance at Xue Jian, who was smiling. But she never found a chance to put the bag of things in Xue Jian's wine and food, and she was very anxious.

Xue Jian got up suddenly, "Second Miss Zhao will sit here for a while, and I'll go back." ”

Zhao Yutong was ecstatic in his heart, and after making sure that Xue Jian was out, he hurriedly took out the bag of things from his purse. Because I was so panicked, I couldn't hold it all of a sudden and fell to the ground. She crouched down and picked it up a few times before picking it up.

Xue Jian's voice outside the door gradually sounded, Zhao Yutong knew that he was about to come back, his hand shook, and half of the medicinal powder was sprinkled outside. She quickly wiped it with her sleeve, threw the paper wrapped in the powder out of the window, shook the flask, and pretended to be fine, sitting by the window with her hands and pretending to look at the scenery. But her palms were tense and sweaty, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

After Xue Jian came in, he walked to the table and saw the white powder in the gap of the wooden table at a glance. He did not expose Zhao Yutong, but put the rabbit lantern he bought downstairs on the table.

"Like it or not?" He pushed the lantern in the direction of Zhao Yutong, "I remember that you happened to belong to the rabbit, and when I saw it, I bought it." ”

Zhao Yutong was naturally very happy, holding the rabbit lantern and couldn't put it down. She saw that Xue Jian had poured herself a glass of wine and was about to drink it, and her heart couldn't help but soften, "Master Hou! ”

Xue Jian was about to put the wine in his mouth, when he heard her call herself, she stopped in mid-air, "Huh? ”

Zhao Yutong remembered that before going out, Mrs. Zhao said to her ear, and finally shook her head. She thanked Xue Jian very quietly, and watched Xue Jian drink the wine with a smile.

Xue Jian's gentle and doting eyes had already made Zhao Yutong indulge in it. If you can marry such a man, what is there to fear if your reputation is slightly damaged.

The Luoshui outside the private room was bustling, and the lights in the private room were blown out after a short time.

Early in the morning of the second day, Mrs. Zhao rushed to the tavern with a few good befriended noble ladies in a menacing manner, "Where is Xue Jian!" Come out of here! ”

The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter, "Dare to ask this lady, what is the reason for looking for Yunyang Hou?" ”

Mrs. Zhao sneered, "Yesterday, Xue Jian asked my daughter to come here to enjoy the lanterns, but I waited at home all night and didn't see my daughter return home." Dare to ask where Yunyang Hou hid my daughter? ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves galloping behind them attracted everyone to look back.

After Mrs. Zhao saw the comer, she felt a "sigh" in her heart.

Xue Jian got down from the galloping horse, and his movements were like flowing water in one go. He saluted Mrs. Zhao and said, "Yesterday, I went to relieve myself on the way to Luoshui with Miss Zhao Er, and I was knocked unconscious in the alley, but fortunately, I was found by the guards during the curfew. I thought that Miss Zhao Er saw that I had not returned for a long time and went home early, but when I sent someone to ask this morning, I found out that she had not returned overnight. I don't know if Mrs. Zhao knows the whereabouts of Miss Zhao Er? ”

Xue Jian blamed himself with a face, "If Miss Zhao Er has something to do because of me, I will really be to blame." ”

Mrs. Zhao was a little unsteady on her feet, her eyes flickered and looked away, "I asked the shopkeeper just now, and he said that Yutong has gone back." I want to go back to the house and wait to see. Probably she was too playful on the road, so she came back late. ”

"Oh? Really? Xue Jian's gaze shot at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again, "I didn't say that. Miss Zhao Er didn't see her after entering the shop yesterday and went downstairs again. He paused and said strangely, "The one who came with Miss Zhao Er yesterday was Yunyang Hou." ”

He looked at Xue Jian uncertainly, feeling that he should have read it correctly. Why did this master say that he didn't come to the store yesterday? Not only did Zhao Yutong not come down from upstairs, but even this one never came down.

Xue Jian grabbed Mrs. Zhao, who wanted to leave, squinted her eyes and said, "Someone dares to pretend to be Ben Hou, Mrs. Zhao and I went up to see what was going on." Let me be a witness, and don't let anyone think that I am such a disciple. ”

Mrs. Zhao complained bitterly in her heart, and was dragged upstairs by Xue Jian.

Xue Jian kicked open the room one by one, and most of them were empty. Occasionally, a few big men slept on their backs because they were drunk, and they didn't even hear the sound of kicking the door.

Xue Jian, who had been paying attention to Mrs. Zhao with her peripheral vision, watched her become more and more anxious, and kept sneering in her heart.

In the penultimate room, Zhao Yutong was woken up by a noise outside. She rubbed her eyes, and the first scene that came into her eyes was Xue Jian sleeping beside her. She couldn't help but smile shyly and sweetly.

Just as she was leaning on Xue Jian's chest, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Zhao Yutong was taken aback and raised his head to look.

Xue Jian was standing at the door expressionlessly, and Mrs. Zhao didn't leave or stay, don't look at her. In addition to them, there were several other noble ladies and a few strange men.

Zhao Yutong exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly raised the quilt to cover his body. She turned her head to look at "Xue Jian" who woke up leisurely, and the two Xue Jian confused her.

Who was the one who had a spring breeze with her last night?!

Xue Jian pulled out the short sword hidden in the flute and sneered: "I want to see who is so bold and dares to pretend to be Ben Hou." "If you say that, you will stab the sword.

The man ignored Zhao Yutong, pulled the quilt over to wrap around his naked body, turned over from the bed, and broke through the window.

"Where to run!" Xue Jian followed and jumped out of the window.

The guards who followed Xue Jian also passed in front of Zhao Yutong one after another, and came out of the window one by one.

Zhao Yutong was ashamed and angry, because the quilt that covered it was gone. She could only curl herself up desperately, trying to hide her naked body as much as possible.

The whispers of the noble ladies made Mrs. Zhao's face blue and white for a while. She originally wanted to bring someone over to arrest her, and coerce Xue Jian to admit it. After quickly holding the wedding for the two, the dust settled on the victory.

Now that Zhao Yutong slept with the wrong person, they didn't even know who that person was, so they could only pinch their noses and admit that Zhao Yutong was misbehaving.

Mrs. Zhao's face was blue, "Put on all your clothes!" ”

After Zhao Yutong and the others left, they stumbled up from the bed, picked up their clothes from the ground and put them on randomly.

Mrs. Zhao didn't say a word, and pulled Zhao Yutong into the carriage of the Zhao family, and her hand strength was so strong that she left a circle of bruises on Zhao Yutong's wrist.

Those noble ladies had come to see the jokes, but now they had satisfied their curiosity and got into the car. But they had already made an appointment to find a place to talk about what they had seen today.

Xue Jian chased the man and ran all the way to the woods by Luoshui. He stifled a smile, "Okay, there's no one here." ”

The guards who came after him threw a suit of clothes to the man.

The man threw away the quilt that covered his body, hurriedly changed his clothes, and complained, "Don't ask me to do such a thing next time." I didn't dare to close my eyes all night, and Miss Zhao leaned on me so hard that I was so scared that I wanted to run back. ”

The guard who threw the clothes to him glanced at him, "Whoever told you to look like your master, you don't look for anyone for this kind of errand." He poked the man with his elbow, "Last night the beauty was in my arms, nephrite is warm and fragrant, it feels good." ”

The man grimaced, "My good sister, don't laugh at me." That's what I do. I didn't get any of the drugged wine at all, and it was all poured down my sleeve. knocked out Miss Zhao and dragged people to the bed, and didn't do anything at all! ”

"Didn't do anything? Who took off your clothes? ”

Xue Jian couldn't help laughing, walked up to the man and patted him on the shoulder, "You just stay here and explain well." ”

The man looked at Xue Jian's departing figure and stomped his feet, "Master! "Just leave him alone?!

Xie Liangying counted the days every day and waited for Shuangjue to come back, but she didn't know anything about what was happening outside, and she didn't have the heart to inquire.

Xue Jian told her with great interest about the interesting things that happened in Beijing.

"Zhao Yutong had an affair with someone and was caught by Mrs. Zhao. Now that she has been sent to a nunnery outside Beijing as a sister-in-law, I think she will probably never see anyone again in her life. ”

Xie Liangying glanced at him, "Can't you save some good thoughts?" Zhao Yutong finally saved you. "Is it really okay to be so gloating?

Xue Jian didn't answer her question, and casually picked up a strand of hair that fell on Xie Liangying's shoulder and played with it in his hand. He didn't have Zhao Yutong to save him at all, if it wasn't for Xie Liangying's dodge, the two of them shouldn't have any intersection. If he couldn't see Xie Liangying, he would rather die in Haitang Tower.

Zhao Yutong is certainly kind to herself, but when she attacked Xie Liangying, she touched Xue Jian's scales.

Xie Liangying was a little strange Xue Jian's sudden hug, she looked up at Xue Jian and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Xue Jian shook his head and rested his forehead on Xie Liangying's shoulder.

As long as it's for you, hell is willing to go.

Xie Liangying was still chattering, "Just stop this matter, you are not allowed to make trouble with others." It's not that I don't hate her, and when the wound hurts, I really want to catch her and beat her. But when you think about how someone saved you, just think about it. She opened the bow with both hands and rubbed it on Xue Jian's face, "Although being kind to others is not always cherished, if you always have malice in your heart, you will not be happy." ”

Xue Jian looked at Xie Liangying in a daze, and she still didn't tell her about Zhao Yutong hanging himself after being sent to the nunnery.

"Speaking of which, didn't you tell me before that someone sued Zhao Yushi? Is there a follow-up to that? Xie Liangying was still worried about those who sued the emperor, "Bai Xiangxuan won't let those people go lightly, right?" ”

"I won't let it go. But His Majesty was staring at it. Xue Jian took Xie Liangying's hand off his face and put it in his palm, he frowned, "Why is it so cold?" Is it wearing less? ”

"I'm not cold, say it quickly." Xie Liangying asked with interest.

Xue Jian took off his coat and wrapped it around Xie Liangying, "After the news of Zhao Yushi's accusation spread, Shuntianfu received other people's letters one after another-all related to Zhao Jun. His patience is limited, and I think it's probably just a matter of a few days. ”

Xie Liangying asked curiously: "You say, what crime will His Majesty convict Zhao Yushi?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to win the office. After all, it was a public outrage. Originally, there were a lot of courtiers who used their power for personal gain, and His Majesty was trying to make an example of killing chickens and monkeys, so there was a bump into him. If you are guilty, you will not be exiled to the frontier, but you should be able to confiscate your family property and send them back to your hometown after seizing the office. ”

"That'...... Will the people's original fields be returned to them? ”

Xue Jian rubbed Xie Liangying's head, "The Holy Lords are from the Holy Ming, so they will naturally return it to them." A few days ago, Nanzhili suffered a flood, and if the land is not returned to the people, I am afraid that it will be sad again this winter. ”

Xie Liangying clapped her hands, "A few days ago, the eldest princess told me that she was going to set up a soup kitchen shop in winter, why don't we put one?" It's right next to the eldest princess, so it's good to have a care. ”

"It's all up to you."

Shuangjue had just returned from outside, "Master, madam." ”

Xue Jian saw that she was dressed in outings, so she asked, "Have you gone to find Lao Xue?" ”

Shuangjue nodded.

Xie Liangying didn't need to ask, just looking at Shuangjue's lost appearance, he knew that he didn't find anyone. "Old Xue Fu has a big life, he will definitely be able to find it, don't worry."

Xue Jian's body stiffened. In his previous life, Lao Xue died in the battle for succession, so after being reborn, Xue Jian only thought that when the time came, let Lao Xue stay in the mansion early to take care of Xie Liangying, but he never thought that a butterfly wing would change the trajectory of his life and change Lao Xue's.

Xie Liangying put her hand on Xue Jian's fist and said firmly: "I will definitely find it!" ”

Xue Jian nodded heavily.

But after a few days, Xie Liangying didn't even see Shuangjue. I waited for a few days in Beizhuang, but I couldn't wait for Shuangjue. In the past, no matter how late Shuangjue found it outside, he would come back to see Xie Liangying. But after going out this time, he never came back. asked Xue Jian, he didn't know where Shuangjue went.

Xie Liangying felt that her heart was panicking, and she decided that she could no longer sit and wait like this. She pulled out Yang Xingze, who was hiding in the bushes and peeking at her, "I know that you often sneak out on weekdays, can you take me with you this time?" Don't look at me like this, I can still ride a horse, and I will never hold you back. If the eldest princess asks, she won't confess you. ”

Yang Xingze asked her strangely, "How do you know that I am hiding here." ”

Xie Liangying pouted, "I found out early in the morning." She poked Yang Xingze, "You can't say it." ”

Yang Xingze was a little embarrassed. Although He An loves him, he still won't allow him to do anything wrong in terms of right and wrong. He An was interested in Xie Liangying, and Yang Xingze could see it, how dare he agree to Xie Liangying's request.

But looking at Xie Liangying's hopeful gaze, Yang Xingze couldn't say anything to refuse. Even if it were him, the little guy he usually got together would be gone, and he would be worried. He gritted his teeth, "Done!" But we have to say that we have to come back before sunset, and don't let my mother know, or I'll have another meal. ”

Xie Liangying patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, if there is a board, I will take it for you." ”

Yang Xingze muttered, "My mother is reluctant to beat you." ”

Xie Liangying pushed the person out, "You go and prepare first, and I'll change my clothes." Let's see you at Erdaomen. ”

"Hey."

Yang Xingze led two horses and waited for Xie Liangying at the second gate. Seeing Xie Liangying come out in a small dress, she didn't recognize it all of a sudden.

"Let's go." Xie Liangying took his horse from Yang Xingze's hand, "Let's go early and come back early." ”

Yang Xingze took Xie Liangying and sneaked out through the side door. The porter was already surprised that Yang Xingze went out, and he didn't pay attention to Xie Liangying, who was following him, just that the little boy was going to take the guards to run horses in a farther place.

Xie Liangying came out of Beizhuang smoothly, and one turned over and got on the horse.

"I can't see it, you really can." Yang Xingze pointed to the front with a horsewhip, "It's an official road there, let's walk along there for a while, it's not easy to get lost." ”

Xie Liangying clamped her legs and controlled the horse towards the official road. Not far from the official road, she stopped.

On the official road, a husband and wife pushed a cart full of luggage slowly past. Behind him was a young man with a sad face, who was holding a young woman who was coughing incessantly.

If it weren't for a closer look, Xie Liangying would almost not recognize that the haggard middle-aged woman was Mrs. Zhao, who was still showing off her martial arts in front of her not long ago. Now she has lost her gorgeous clothes, and her temples have gray hair. The face that has never been well maintained is no longer the arrogant smile of the past.

Mrs. Zhao pushed the cart and looked back from time to time to pay attention to the coughing eldest daughter behind her.

"What are you looking at?" Yang Xingchen rode over, he glanced at Zhao Jun's family, and snorted coldly, "This kind of person, even if you cut it, it doesn't count." ”

"Do you know who they are?"

Yang Xingze said: "Naturally, I know." A few days ago, it was rumored. It's a pity that my uncle still relented and let them go. The previous dynasty perished, wasn't it because of the sins created by these corrupt officials who looted the people's fat and anointment? They were fine, and after eating enough, they switched to other families, abandoning their old masters. Pity the queen master, who is obviously a Ming monarch, but he was born as the king of the dead country. ”

Xie Liangying glanced at him, "I can't see that you still have pity for the front and back masters." ”

Yang Xingze said: "That's nature. I am a relative of the emperor, and what I have experienced in the previous dynasty is a lesson for me. If I'm not careful, I'll become a prisoner of others. ”

Xie Liangying turned the horse's head and walked in the opposite direction of Mrs. Zhao.

Looking at Miss Zhao's appearance, I'm afraid it won't last long. At that time, Mrs. Zhao will experience another white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

Yang Xingze often plays near Beizhuang, and is much more familiar than Xie Liangying. He took Xie Liangying from Beizhuang in the south of the suburbs of Beijing, all the way to the northwest. After the two of them had run for a while, they took control of their horses and walked slowly.

Xie Liangying raised his eyes and looked around, and heard that Shuangjue was missing near here.

"Let's take a look." Yang Xingze felt that relying on the two of them to find someone was tantamount to a fantasy, but Xie Liangying insisted on coming over, so he gave up his life to accompany the gentleman.

Xie Liangying let go of the horse and let it graze. Wander around the neighborhood on your own.

If she is Shuangjue, why did she come here to find Lao Xue, is there any clue?

Xie Liangying thought secretly as she walked deeper into the woods.

Yang Xingze shouted a few times behind him, and when he saw that she didn't respond, he sighed and followed her inside, but he took a few steps closer, for fear of losing people in this dark forest.

"Where is this?" Xie Liangying asked suddenly.

Yang Xingze pulled Xie Liangying and didn't allow her to go inside, "This is the famous 'ghost forest' in the capital, and it is said that not only will it be haunted, but there will even be people who will never come out after entering." Let's not go in again, it's almost sunset, we have to go back quickly, otherwise my mother will find out. My little guy is very stupid, and he can't fool my mother. ”

Xie Liangying was a little unwilling, she wanted to go inside again, but Yang Xingze was in a hurry, so she was no longer stubborn. After all, you can't even affect others.

But just as Xie Liangying turned his head and was about to go back, the afterglow swept a little light. She shook off Yang Xingze and strode into the forest.

Yang Xingze stomped his feet on the spot, "Why are you so disobedient." He trotted a few steps and followed Xie Liangying inside.

The figures of the two disappeared completely into the woods, and the two horses grazing outside seemed to sense that something was wrong, and kept neighing, and seeing that the master did not come back to look for him, he spread his legs and ran in the direction of Beizhuang.

When Xie Liangying walked into the depths of the forest, he found that the bright light just now was gone again. She spun around the spot a few times, but didn't notice anything wrong. She was about to put that on hold and walked back when the setting sun stung her eyes. At the same time, she saw the light again.

It was a small brass bell hanging from a branch at her eye level.

Xie Liangying walked over and took the bell down. One side of the bell is engraved with "double", and the other side is engraved with "Jue", which can be determined to be Shuangjue.

But why is it here?

Xie Liangying looked at the tree that was not very tall, if Shuangjue was attacked, he would use light skills to hide from the tree, and he would never jump so low. She circled the edge of the tree, and looked closely at the branches, but found no blood, and no signs of a fight.

Could it be that Shuangjue specially put the bell here, waiting for someone to find out? Xie Liangying kept guessing, hoping that he could guess what Shuangjue was thinking at that time.

But there were no words carved on the tree, or any special markings.

Xie Liangying thought as she walked deeper into the place.

Night falls as the last rays of the setting sun dissipate. The already dimly lit forest grew more and more gloomy and dark.

Xie Liangying took out the fire fold from her purse and used that little bit of fire to illuminate.

Suddenly, she was caught off guard by her feet, stepped on the air, and the whole person fell from a place where she couldn't see clearly.

Xie Liangying's scream made Yang Xingze's heart skip a beat not far behind her, and he hurriedly rushed towards the place where the sound came from, and found that Xie Liangying's figure was gone, and there was only a huge pit on the ground, so dark that it couldn't see the bottom. There is Xie Liangying's fire fold left at the entrance of the cave, probably accidentally dropped when he fell down just now.

Yang Xingze stomped his feet, picked up the fire fold, took a deep breath, and tried his best to cheer himself up in his heart. Then he jumped into the pothole.
