Xi Shi was stunned when he heard his words, and after a long time, he said, "I'm sorry." ”

Although Xi Shi lowered his head, he could still feel that Yin Shisan was still staring at him.

Just as the atmosphere was gradually anxious, Yin Shisan suddenly raised one leg and half-knelt to support himself, and the other hand was free to pinch Xi Shi's chin rudely, forcing her to look at herself, and said, "Xi Shi, please believe me in the future." I am your guard, and I will stand before you no matter whether life or death is in danger. ”

Xi Shi's heart softened, and he nodded obediently.

Yin Shisan held his breath and hammered the wall again before letting go of her.

Xi Shi exhaled quietly, patted his chest and obediently went out with Yin Shisan.

When I walked out of the secret room to the stone room when I first came, I saw that it was already full of people. There were dozens of people standing in the back, all of them playing assassins.

In front of the "assassin" stood Wen Xiangguo, and opposite Wen Xiangguo stood Zheng Dan, Mu Li, and Su Yi, as well as several guards. And among them, there were two people lying horizontally, Meng Qiyu and Ah Jiu.

Seeing this, Xi Shi and Yin Thirteen hurriedly stood in.

When everyone arrived, Wen Chong got straight to the point and said: "All the girls must have understood what is going on, so I won't go into detail below." Today's events, after you go out, you must be remembered in your heart, you are all people who want to dedicate yourself to the Yue country and the Yue king, and your body and mind must be subordinated to the Yue king and the Yue country. The same goes for your guards, on the premise of being loyal to the king of Yue and the kingdom of Yue, you must swear to protect your beauties to the death, and you will live and die for them. Otherwise, this is the end. ”

As he spoke, Wen Chong pointed to the two corpses on the ground.

Xi Shi looked at Meng Qiyu and saw that Meng Qiyu was still bleeding from his neck, but the person was motionless. There was a panicked and shocked look on her face, and her eyes widened in desperate fear. Bright red blood flowed through the white neck, revealing an unusually bewitching appearance. Looking at Ah Jiu again, Ah Jiu's face was as usual, but his brows were furrowed, as if he couldn't win a quarrel with Zheng Dan on weekdays and couldn't figure it out. He lay quietly on the ground, as if he were asleep.

Of the seven Yue girls who came together, there are only four left. Hu Jing's personality is flammable and explosive, and she is not suitable for participating in the beauty plan, but she knows the plan but cannot participate, so she was directly executed secretly. Wu Sisi bowed his head in the face of glory and wealth, and the beauty plan didn't need such a person, so naturally he couldn't escape the fate of being assassinated. The results of the two of them were also told to them by Fan Li in the woods that day, Zheng Dan and the others may not know what the consequences of Hu Jing and Wu Sisi will be.

Today's scene took the lives of Meng Qiyu and Ah Jiu again. Only then did Xi Shi realize that in just two months after entering the palace, four fresh lives died because of this beauty plan. Now, when she confronts death, even the deaths of others, she truly realizes what she is facing.

Therefore, in the days to come, Xi Shi decided to double down on his practice and take more special rights into his own hands, so that he could have a bargaining chip to fight against potential dangers. She has to make herself unique and unique, so that she will not be discarded, replaced, or even erased at any time. She has to be stronger, not just limited to her own cleverness, so that she can protect herself and protect Zheng Dan.

Several other Yue women were also full of concerns, and after Wen Chong dismissed them, several of them went down the mountain without saying a word. When passing the stream on the way up the mountain, Xi Shi didn't pay attention, let alone see the Confucian merchant surnamed Ji.

The Confucian merchant leaned against the tree with a leaf in his mouth, and watched her departing back fade away with deep eyes.

"Sure enough, it's still a little girl, so scared like this......"

Ji Gongzi jumped off the tree while muttering, humming a little song and walking in the direction they left......

Since the assassination incident, the four Yue girls have worked harder in their cultivation, and even their grades have been able to catch up with Mu Li from time to time. And Mu Li was also scared because Su Yi told her that he lived in a courtyard, so he moved back to live with Su Yi. Zheng Dan was also very distressed because he didn't have a suitable guard, so Xi Shi begged Fan Li and asked him to arrange Xi Cheng to Zheng Dan as a guard. Several people live under the same roof, and although the practice is hard, it is also very enjoyable.

Xi Shi still remembered that Zheng Dan said to himself after returning to the palace that day, in fact, Ah Jiu should not die. It was she who swore to die, so she let Ah Jiu die for herself. She also said that there is only one human life, and they are all raised by their fathers and mothers, so they don't have to die for others...... Xi Shi couldn't comfort her, and she didn't know what the situation was at that time, so she could only persuade her to work together. But Yin 13 told himself that Ah Jiu was not such a cowering person, and he would not leave a weak woman to be bullied. Xi Shi has no way to verify it, so he can only persuade a few words.

Fortunately, Xi Cheng's arrival dispelled some of the gloom.

"Sister Zheng Dan! I heard that you asked me to be your bodyguard! ”

"Sister Zheng Dan, I'm the eighth person in our Yue country's armed forces! There's a card for you to be a guard, right? ”

"Sister Xi Shi, Boss Fan has gone out to look for a beauty again, you have to take care of him!"

"Old Thirteen, why can't your force catch up with my little fart after so many years~"

Xi Cheng's arrival rekindled laughter in the courtyard, and life was also enjoyable. Although Xi Shi lamented in his heart that the world is fickle and the world is impermanent, he also knows that he is still one of the people in this world and a part of this world.

Not long after the good days, Mrs. Gao informed them that at this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, King Wu would send envoys over.

And there are more than ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the four of them must hurry up and prepare.

In this way, under the devilish training, the envoys of the state of Wu were finally ushered in.

Xi Shi and the others were waiting in the familiar side hall again. This is the first time they have had contact with the people of Wu State since they entered the palace for almost three months, and they don't know who the envoy is?

While they were thinking, the voice of them entering the hall came from the main hall. The Vietnamese girls straightened their skirts and hairstyles, and danced directly to the beautiful music with a proper smile.

is still the familiar "Qingyun Song", a dance they have danced countless times. Xi Shi deftly waved his sleeves, and his eyebrows and eyes showed peerless beauty. Although they didn't see everyone's reaction, the Yue women could feel that the eyes of the people in the palace were firmly tied to them, turning from one Yue girl to another, and they were never tired of it.

When Xi Shi Yingying danced, she always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at herself, she thought it was Fan Li, so she glanced at the minister, and quickly locked Fan Li's position, but saw that Fan Li did not look at him, but at the person opposite him.

Xi Shi followed Fan Li's eyes and looked at him with his peripheral vision, and almost stumbled and fell.

This dark green dress has an unremarkable appearance......

Sitting opposite, isn't it the Confucian merchant Ji Gongzi who I met when I went to the incense burner peak that day! So why is he here? Don't...... He is the envoy of Wu that Gao Niangzi said? How could it be such a coincidence?

Xi Shi was surprised and cranky, and the dance almost went wrong, so he was busy sorting out his emotions. Get in shape and finish the dance well.

After the dance, the Yue girls obediently saluted to King Wu, and were about to retreat, but were stopped by the envoys.

"Wait!" The envoy stood up and stopped them, and said to King Yue, "King Yue, is this the beauty you have carefully selected to present to our King Wu?" Why can't you even dance? ”

King Yue smiled awkwardly and said, "They are all milky little girls who have not dried up, and they were sent to the palace for cultivation and carving because of their good appearance, and now they are still a stubborn stone." Let Ji Gongzi smile. ”

Ji Gongzi nodded, and said, "But I think there are already people here who have become beautiful jade." ”

King Yue hurriedly asked, "Oh? Which beauty do you think can get into your eyes? ”

Ji Gongzi smiled, picked up the wine glass from the table, poured it full of wine, and slowly walked in front of the first Yue girl, Su Yi, Su Yi raised his eyes to look at the envoy and smiled coquettishly at him.

Ji Gongzi also smiled, but walked to the next Yue girl Zheng Dan with a wine glass, Zheng Dan lowered his head, and his eyes did not look at the envoy, as if there was no one around.

Ji Gongzi slowly walked to the next Yue girl Xi Shi with a wine glass and stood still, looking at her with a playful face, Xi Shi's heart jumped "dong dong".

Just as he saw Ji Gongzi lifting the wine glass as if he was about to give it to Xi Shi, Xi Shi held his heart and raised his hand to pick it up, but he turned a corner and steadily placed the wine glass in front of the last Yue Nu Mu Li. Xi Shi froze on the spot, very embarrassed and embarrassed, but he couldn't swallow this breath, and after half a sound, he put down his hand and continued to stand upright.

Mu Li looked at the wine glass in front of her, and then raised her eyes to look at King Yue through the envoy, and saw that King Yue nodded, so she immediately took the wine glass and drank it all.

"Childe Xie Ji." Mu Li said indifferently.

Ji Gongzi smiled, returned to his place with the empty wine glass, and did not forget to look at Xi Shi playfully again when he turned back.

Shi Shi secretly gritted his teeth, very annoyed by his behavior of playing tricks on him.

Ji Gongzi, who returned to his position, filled the wine glass with wine again, and raised it to King Yue: "King Yue, this woman dances gracefully and excels in the dust, I believe that my king will be able to recover as soon as possible when he sees his condition." ”

When King Yue heard this, he asked anxiously and worriedly, "What?" Is King Wu sick? Can it be severe? The widow will immediately set off tomorrow to visit King Wu! ”

Ji Gongzi returned: "It wasn't a serious illness, I went out hunting in autumn and suffered from the cold, and now I am in the palace and will be raised." My king specially explained that there was no need for King Yue to visit him personally. ”

King Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but he still said with a worried face: "When the widow was a slave of King Wu in Wu Kingdom, he often persuaded King Wu to wear more clothes, but now he is not serving by King Wu's side, but he is very worried about King Wu's body." ”

Ji Gongzi smiled and said, "King Yue's loyalty to my king is really admirable. ”

King Yue smiled gently, and the two were about to raise their glasses to drink, but they heard the people accompanying Ji Gongzi open their mouths and say, "King Yue's loyalty is indeed admirable. On that day, our king was sick, and King Yue did not hesitate to taste my king's feces, which was really touching. ”
