After eating dinner quietly, Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng didn't ask her anything, but Xiao Yu was confused. It's just that if the two of them don't ask about their background, she doesn't want to say.

Maybe it's better not to know something.

The three of them took the lamp and enjoyed the shade in the courtyard, Xiao Yucheng copied the book, and Xiao Pei did needlework. Xiao Yu sat in a daze for a while, and suddenly heard Xiao Pei ask with concern: "Ah Yu, what is on your mind?" ”

"Why don't you tell me about the Xiao family's ancestor Poison Immortal Jiuniang." Xiao Yu avoided answering, raised his head and smiled.

Xiao Pei thought about it and went through them one by one.

Compared with the little-known and even difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood of the Xiao family, who was once the guard of King Yue, Xiao Jiuniang is a legend who moves Kyushu.

The previous dynasty of the Great Qi was the Han Dynasty, and Xiao Jiuniang had detoxified the Han Emperor at that time, and kidnapped the prince who was later her husband's death. It is said that there is no poison in the world that cannot be solved, but the poison under Xiao Jiuniang has no one else to solve. In the rivers and lakes, everyone who has been poisoned has come to the door, and she has never missed. In addition, Xiao Jiuniang is quite beautiful in appearance and has a cold temperament, as if she does not eat fireworks in the world, so she is called a poisonous fairy.

“…… Later, Xiao Jiuniang settled in Yuedi, and her children all followed their mother's surname, and her mastery was passed down by her daughter. As for Xiao Yucheng's grandfather, he somehow didn't touch the poison/medicine again, but this poison technique will not disappear in the future, so what the kid said should be true. ”

Returning home from Niujiao Village, Xian Hai asked people to investigate the background of the Xiao family, and immediately reported to him when he got the results, that is, Yuan Qingpei, the chief who was sitting in the mule cart today.

Yuan Qingpei nodded silently.

And Xiao Pei, the daughter of the Xiao family, was unharmed after being poisoned in Chen's body, and it is estimated that she found a way to detoxify in the ancestral secret recipe. Maybe it was because I met the second sister Xiao before returning to the village, and later everyone found out that the Xiao family knew medicine, so they thought it was the second sister's ability. She also grows vegetables or goes up the mountain to collect medicine on weekdays, and doesn't ask about outside affairs. Xian Hai continued.

Yuan Qingpei waved his hand and said indifferently: "In this case, there is no need to check over there in Niujiao Village." ”

When Xian Hai retreated, Yuan Qingpei couldn't help but think of the past glory of South Vietnam, and muttered to himself: "What legend? King Yue is called a legend, what is a poison immortal. ”

"Changshi, the little prince of the palace is invited to accompany him to the drunken immortal residence for a banquet."

"Got it. Come and change clothes. Yuan Qingpei frowned. However, when he went out of the gate and saw the carriage of the palace, he returned to his usual gentleness and calm manners.

Zuixianju is a famous restaurant in Yong'an County, and its elegant rooms are spacious and gorgeous. As soon as a few people sat down, some of them bowed down to serve the menu. Ling Yi sat on the top and ordered the signature dishes in the store to be served as before, and the cousin retreated in amusement.

A handsome but indifferent man in white pushed the door in.

"Xuanming is late, and he must be punished for drinking." Ling Yi smiled, "Zichen didn't come along?" But it's no wonder that he doesn't like to socialize. ”

Yuan Qingpei and a few others stood up and saluted, "General Zhong." ”

Zhong Lang bowed slightly, saluted Ling Yi and sat down beside him, poured himself a cup of sake and drank it, and did not speak. He pursed his thin lips, and his eyes naturally revealed coldness. As rumored to be, he doesn't smile.

Yuan Qingpei looked at Zhong Lang quietly.

Zichen? As the little son of the county king's mansion, Li Zhen may not know who it is, but he does.

Unexpectedly, that person also went to South Vietnam together. The favor he is in place today is eye-catching, but I don't know why. On closer examination, he has no great merits, nor has he heard of any outstanding talents, and there are countless noble sons who are more prominent than his family background. On closer inspection, the only possibility is that it is related to its poisoning.

But in any case, a person who has a sacred heart has no choice but to win over and not offend. Since Zhong Lang is close to him, no matter how cold he is, he can't be taken lightly.

Yuan Qingpei thought so, poured wine and saluted: "I have heard that General Zhong is wise for a long time, and I admire him so much, please ask the general to drink this thin glass of wine with his face." ”

Yue Wang Qingning's former cronies have now been almost replaced by Jingnan Wang Qing, only Yuan Qingpei is highly valued, and now he is still favored by Li Jue, the king of Jingnan County, which is also rare.

Zhong Lang nodded, his face was a little softened, and instead of taking a drink, he remembered what Hua Yue had said: "Yuan Qingpei took refuge in King Jingnan, but it was just a void and a snake." ”

Ling Yi also knew this, so he also spent some time on Yuan Qingpei, knowing that he went out lightly at noon today, and did not return until evening. It's a pity that Yuan Qingpei has always been cunning, and the people sent to investigate were worried that he would find out, so he didn't follow closely, because he didn't know what was going on.

However, the people in the county king's mansion reported that when Li Ying returned to the city and there was a riot, the guards of the county king's mansion picked up a lot of things from the street, one of which was sent for repeated identification, and the results came out recently, and it is said that there was a secret mark of the Yue Wang Su clan on it.

Therefore, the palace of Jingnan County suspected that the descendants of the Su clan of King Yue still had a legacy, and they did not know whether it was true or not.

Li Zhen was extremely unhappy with Zhong Lang's attitude, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said in a strange manner: "General Zhong's shelf is still more majestic than General Ling. ”

Zhong Lang barked as a dog, as if he hadn't heard it, and drank by himself. And Ling Yi and Yuan Qingpei were talking happily, but they didn't seem to be aware of it.

This feeling of being ignored is like attacking with all his strength but hitting a void, which makes Li Zhen extremely depressed and angry, and almost wants to leave with his sleeves brushed away, but Ling Yi is deeply valued by the saint, even his brother Li Jue, the king of the county, also has to give three points, so he will inevitably lose his face by withdrawing from the table, so he can only endure it.

After a while, Ling Yi remembered something, and asked with a smile: "What did Little Young Master Li just say?" ”

At this time, Li Zhen's attention was attracted by the beautiful singer who had just been called over and holding the pipa and half-covering her face, and waved her hand intently when she heard the words: "It's nothing." ”

Although several people have their own hearts, the banquet is also enjoyable.

The sky is dark, and the stars are bright and extinguished.

Xiao Yu looked at the distant point of light in the sky and sighed: "The Xiao family's poison technique has a long history, but it's a pity that the inheritance has been broken now. Although my grandfather didn't go to this path of healing poison at the beginning, there was nothing left by my ancestors? ”

"It was supposed to be a toxic spectrum or something, but it was dispersed a long time ago, and the two of us never saw it." Xiao Pei shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's lost or destroyed." ”

At this time, Yanzi came over and asked Xiao Pei to teach her the stitches of embroidery. Xiao Pei remembered that the two had an agreement a long time ago, but today they were disturbed by the uninvited guest and forgot about it, so they went to her house with Yanzi apologetically.

Xiao Yu thought for a long time, and said to himself: "Shouldn't such an important thing left by the ancestors be treasured, how could it be easily lost or damaged and not left at all?" It's weird. ”

"Actually, my father left me an ancestral heirloom." Xiao Yucheng, who was immersed in copying books, raised his head.

After speaking, Xiao Yucheng carefully took out a flower-shaped jade pendant from his arms. Xiao Yu just glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes widened in disbelief and froze.

This jade pendant is so similar to the one left to her by her mother, who she is wearing it closely!

Xiao Yucheng saw that Xiao Yu's expression was different, and he wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's so beautiful!"

Xiao Yu smiled in amazement.

In the soft light, the veins on the four vermilion slender petals of the jade pendant are faintly visible, and the goose-yellow stamens are clear. The whole flower is finely carved, integrated, lifelike, and has both elegance and intensity.

It is the poppy who has the reputation of being a wonderful product in flowers.

"Can you show me?"

Xiao Yucheng paused slightly, put the jade pendant in his palm and handed it over. Start with a slight temperature, it is indeed warm jade, only the color is different. She's mutton fat white jade.

Xiao Yu felt that her heart was beating extremely fast. Is the ancestor of the Xiao family really the guard of King Yue? Is this the legendary providence in the dark? She involuntarily held the jade pendant.
