Chen Qiuniang said this sentence at this time, which was completely the coquettishness of a little woman in love, it was simply instinctive. As a result, these words were accompanied by her moving tears, but Zhang Ci was startled. He became nervous, and he quickly stood up with his usual elegance, and didn't care about tidying up his wrinkled robe, so he rushed to Chen Qiuniang, raised his hand to wipe her tears, sighed, and said, "You, say such childish things." How do I not need you anymore? ”

Chen Qiuniang was just coquettish, and she said it casually, completely distracted. She didn't expect Zhang Ci's reaction to be so big, so she was stunned for a moment, and added casually, which can be regarded as saying what she thought in her heart.

She said: "You can do everything, I can't help at all, of course I don't feel needed." ”

She muttered, her voice getting lower and lower, her hands brushing the braid of her sideburns, and her movements became more and more daughterly. Zhang Ci was used to seeing Chen Qiuniang's cunning and dignified appearance, and rarely saw this kind of innocent and shy girl's posture, and for a while, he was stunned.

Chen Qiuniang looked at him blankly at her, not knowing what this man who had no last resort was thinking at the moment, so she still had a coquettish tone and asked, "Isn't it?" That's how I feel, I fall in love with a man who has no last resort, and I feel that everything I do is a child's thing, and I can't get into the eyes of the other person at all. ”

Zhang Ci was originally stunned to see Chen Qiuniang's shy expression reflecting the firelight and candlelight, and when she said this, he suddenly had a feeling of being caught peeping. He came to his senses and hurriedly took her hand. said: "I need you, not because you are smart, beautiful, good at scheming, or because you are a good cook." It's not because you've spanned thousands of years, or because you're the princess of the Meng family. I need you, just because you are there, I feel that my life is meaningful, and the life that used to feel like walking in the dark has a bright sunshine; Because you're here, I want to live better and longer. Yun'er. Still don't get it? ”

Why didn't Chen Qiuniang understand? It's just that Fang Cai said such a sentence coquettishly, but he couldn't take it. said the next few words, but unexpectedly led to Zhang Ci's heart-digging confession, she herself was embarrassed to hear it, and couldn't help but bow her head again. I wanted to say something to answer him, but I couldn't find the words for a while.

"So you don't have to do those dangerous things, and you don't need to be so tired to do anything. You just need to apply yellow to the mirror, live a leisurely life, and be responsible for living a happy life, even if there is anything you need to do, tell me and I will do it; As for the rest. Whether it's dominating the world, galloping on the battlefield, or killing the enemy. Let your men come. Zhang Ci said again.

Chen Qiuniang was still thinking that this sentence should be summed up as "You are responsible for being beautiful like a flower, and I am responsible for ruling the world", and more than a dozen black-clothed people rushed in at the door, holding meniscus knives. The knife was very sharp, reflecting the candle flame on the side, which made people feel terrifying.

Only six of the Eighteen Riders are currently present. He guarded in front of Chen Qiuniang and Zhang Ci. One of the people in black sneered and said, "Even if you rebel against Jiang Fan." It is impossible for this Jiang family to be controlled by a yellow-haired boy. I might as well tell you that this plum garden has always been under our control. ”

"It seems that Jiang Fan has not done it thoroughly. Let you rats come here. Zhang Ci dragged Chen Qiuniang behind him.

"Junior, now that you have been surrounded, no matter how powerful your eighteen horsemen are, now five of them are exhausted in * Town, and seven of them are besieged by us in Youzhou. There are six of them with you now. Outside, there were 30,000 elite troops of the nine major families. The leader laughed.

"That's a lot of money, Elder Ye." Zhang Ci was still smiling.

The black-clothed man at the head ripped off his face towel and said, "Sure enough, it's the patriarch of my nine major families, and after I did the disguise, he can still recognize who I am." ”

"Just your disguise technique, it's really not enough to see." Zhang Ci said.

"It's useless not to talk to you, Zhang Ci will be your sacrifice day tonight next year." The man shouted.

Chen Qiuniang stood on tiptoe and saw the person's face through the gap in the crowd, it was an extremely young face, which was nine points similar to Ye Xuan. That look was more ruthless, and it looked even more unstable than Ye Xuan.

"How did you choose the Elders? Not by nepotism, or hereditary, right? Chen Qiuniang asked aloud.

Elder Ye seemed to have been insulted heavily, and immediately shouted: "Don't worry, you demon girl, in a while, I will also send you and this kid all the way to be companions." ”

"I don't know how to choose. This session of the Council of Elders was selected by the members of the previous session of the Council of Elders. The Council of Elders is independent of the power of the patriarchs of the Nine Great Families, and is also independent of the Council of Patriarchs of the Nine Great Families. Each family has five members of the Presbyterian Church, plus the members of the previous term, and the elders of the Presbyterian Church, for a total of 100 members. If there is any serious decision, it is decided by the 100 members of the Presbyterian Church. Zhang Ci patiently answered for Chen Qiuniang as if no one was around.

Chen Qiuniang nodded again and again, and said: "Then in fact, they are the ones with the most power, if they have two hearts, hum, the whole family will be led astray by them; If they are too old-fashioned, it will also hinder the development of the family; If they are ambitious, they will overthrow the patriarch and make the whole family angry. Ah, this presbytery is definitely an unreasonable existence. Chen Qiuniang said loudly, her voice crisp.

"Yun'er is so smart." Zhang Ci said with a smile.

"Shaft, so far, you are still in the mood to laugh, and you are not just caught." Elder Ye shouted impatiently.

"Elder Ye, the Zhang family has never been arrested. Moreover, the elders of the nine great families of my dignity will not allow you to trample on them. Moreover, the Presbyterian Church should also be out of time. Zhang Ci replied unhurriedly.

"Do you still think you can turn things around? If you want to blame it, blame you for being obsessed, and you fell in love with such a yellow-haired girl, and lost your life in vain. Elder Ye shouted.

Zhang Ci also didn't answer his words, but asked: "Our patriarch except for the last time I got rid of, as well as those who died of illness." There were seventy-three more. This time you came fifty-two, and twenty-one were left in Shu, right? ”

Chen Qiuniang clearly saw that Elder Ye's face suddenly changed because of Zhang Ci's words. Even the whole person seemed to be trembling a little, and the meniscus knife in his hand was originally pointing at Zhang Ci, and it was also a little shaky at this moment. His tone trembled a little, and he said, "You—you, how do you know?" ”

"Once upon a time, I turned a blind eye to the interests of the family. I don't conflict with you. But later, you actually wanted to kill Yun'er several times. And he killed me. Shall my fate be trampled upon by you? Shall those whom I want to protect allow you to harm without recklessness? Three years ago, I didn't catch you all because I wanted to worry about Yun'er's safety; And now, I'm ready to go. You couldn't wait to break in. Tonight, a lament will be sung for you. Don't worry, it's the "Requiem Song" left by your ancestors, even if you die, you are still members of the Nine Great Families. Zhang Ci obviously spoke in a very calm tone, but when he said it, it became more and more cruel.

"You don't scare people, we'll kill you now." Elder Ye finally found a word in the trembling to strengthen his courage.

"You try the army outside the door, will it listen to you." Zhang Ci waved his hand.

Elder Ye was panicked at this moment and moved back. shouted: "Ye Chuan, Jiang Bo, you two don't let people quickly take down the traitor who violated the ancestral teachings." ”

The only answer to Elder Ye was Shuo Feng's voice. The armies were standing outside the gate, and the courtyard was full of people. Chen Qiuniang had heard those hurried footsteps before, and she was still worried about this thousands of troops, in case there was a bad one. She was even thinking that if she was in a desperate situation, she was afraid that she would not live alone. However, Zhang Ci sued her. Don't say that this square inch is in the courtyard. After tonight, it will be safe on the north and south sides. She can walk however she wants. So. She was not afraid for a moment, she was completely in the state of mind of watching from the wall.

At this moment, when Elder Ye called out to his own people and saw no one make a move, the whole person had already stumbled, and almost pressed the screen on the side, but fortunately, his kung fu literacy was there, and he spun on the spot and stood firmly between a group of people.

"Jiang Fan, this is your land, those people are here, what else are you pretending, hurry up and jump up and take down those traitors. In addition, I instruct you to entertain the brothers who have come from afar. Zhang Cilang shouted.

Sure enough, Jiang Fan, who was holding a sword, flashed at the door, and said unhappily: "Second Zhang, are you so sure that my son will definitely follow you?" Who gave you the confidence and courage? I really wonder if you have been this patriarch for so many years to resist luck? ”

"Is it the courage and confidence that Yun'er gave me? Besides, you also know that I have no other skills for so many years, but I am highly intelligent. Zhang Ci replied shamelessly.

Jiang Fan just pouted and ignored it because he mentioned Chen Qiuniang, went straight to the door, and said loudly: "The three armies listen to my orders." ”

"Okay, Yue, you clear all these for me and close the door. I'm going to rest. Zhang Ci waved his hand to the six guards beside him.

"Hmph, do you think you're going to win?" Elder Ye suddenly laughed.

"I said that anyone is just a skin, that identity is just there. As for the souls that live inside, they may have changed a long time ago, Elder Ye, don't you understand? The eighteen horsemen you put next to me have long since changed. You don't have a chance of winning, don't toss. Zhang Ci said coldly.

Elder Ye looked at Yue in disbelief, and Yue slowly took off the human skin mask, revealing an extremely handsome and clean face, and said, "Eighteen Riders are just a name, as for people, they can be changed at any time." For so many years, only the patriarch has opened and closed and truly understood what the nine major families need. You're too narrow-sighted, and you're too selfish. ”

"He, isn't he heavy? For the sake of such a demon girl, the whole family fell into a situation of disintegration. Elder Ye said hatefully.

Yue said sarcastically: "What the patriarch did was for the benefit of the nine major families. He is a man of great openness and long-term vision. And the Council of Elders has indeed overstepped its authority too much, and it is not suitable to save zài. On the basis of the interests of the family, we are happy to make the patriarch happy. ”

"You traitors, you will regret it, you will rule the world, you will let the nine major families to the cusp, you will regret it." Elder Ye shouted excitedly.

Outside the door, there was a young man in white clothes and white shirts slowly entering, the son was in his thirties, with a beard, but he was like a handsome fairy. A folding fan in his hand was turned around, and he said in an elegant voice: "Elder Ye's words are wrong, we are just thinking about the interests of the family, how could the patriarch have ever thought of going to the cusp of the wave to reign in the world!" ”

As the man spoke, he smiled at Zhang Ci again and said, "Pan Yulang has seen the patriarch. ”

"Brother Yulang doesn't need to be polite, tonight the wind and snow are tight, but you are also here, and the younger brother is not very grateful." Zhang Ci also returned the favor to Pan Yulang.

"Haha, don't be polite, it's freezing this day, I won't bother you and Mrs. to catch up. Leave these outside the house to us to handle it properly and beautifully for you. Pan Yulang said, but his hands were not idle, it was just a few moves, and he swept the enemy out of the house with the eighteen horsemen.

"Then there is Brother Lao Yulang." Zhang Ci said with a smile.

Pan Yulang laughed, closed the door, and closed the door along with the eighteen horsemen. There were only Chen Qiuniang and Zhang Ci left in the house.

"You're really not going out to have a look?" Chen Qiuniang asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, rest well, I'm watching over you." Zhang Ci said softly.

Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "Where can you sleep on such a night?" You have to wait for the result. ”

"Then take a nap in my arms and wait for the result with me." Zhang Ci said, and without saying anything, he led Chen Qiuniang to sit down on the soft couch of the main seat again, and the whole person leaned on the soft cushion, letting Chen Qiuniang lean on his lap, and his hand gently patted her back. Chen Qiuniang felt very down-to-earth and warm, like when she was a child, she vaguely remembered her father's hands.

She felt so peaceful and happy, so she relied on him without saying a word, quietly enjoying such warmth and happiness. Outside the house, the sounds of fighting, the sound of fighting and fighting each other, intertwined with the wind, which lasted for several hours. It was at dawn that the sounds stopped.

She had been asleep for a while, and when she heard silence outside the house, she asked, "Youqi, aren't you going to take a look?" ”

"The winner is decided, I just want to watch you." Zhang Ci whispered, his handsome face full of tenderness.

Chen Qiuniang was embarrassed to be seen, so she hurriedly avoided his gaze and looked down at the complicated lines on the edge of his clothes. Zhang Ci gently stroked the strand of hair hanging down from her sideburns, and said slowly: "Yun'er, in the future, you will be responsible for being beautiful like a flower, happy and chic, and I will be responsible for clearing the obstacles for you and ruling the world." ”

Chen Qiuniang was stunned, raised her eyes to look at him, and asked, "Do you want to take this world and sit in that position?" ”

He shook his head, smiled, and said, "Now, my position is the world." (To be continued) R655
