In the city of Wanchao, Xiaoyi Mansion.

"Haven't you thought about it yet?" Chen Yi was talking about the secret book qi vein connection technique that he mentioned to Xiao Yi a few days ago.

It's been another two days, and Chen Yi plans to go back to Qingxiao, but Xiaoyi doesn't seem to have any intention of telling himself about his decision.

"I've been thinking about it, so I'd better keep this matter quiet, but you can knock on the side, it will be safer."

Chen Yi thought about it for a while, and felt that what Xiaoyi said made sense, so he should go.

Not long after Chen Yi left, Xiaoyi received a summons from Yan Qinghan.

Imperial Palace, Chongzheng Palace.

"See the emperor."

"No courtesy, how can you still get used to living in the Wan Dynasty? How's things going in the barracks? Yan Qing asked in a cold voice.

"Back to the emperor, everything is fine in the Ten Thousand Dynasty, and the help of Jiang Gongzi in the military camp is also easy." Xiao Yi returned respectfully.

"Okay, you don't have to cover for Ah Ling, I know that he hasn't been to the barracks at all, and I don't know what he's busy with recently, just get used to it, I'm still afraid that if I contain you here, you won't be able to adapt to it."

Yan Qinghan smiled slightly, his mood looked good, but Xiaoyi knew that it was not as simple as caring about himself when he suddenly passed himself into the palace.

"I sent you here, and there is one more thing." Sure enough, Xiaoyi was right.

"The emperor commanded that."

"You also know about the assassination of the Queen Mother before, the whereabouts of this assassin have no eyebrows until now, I really don't worry about the safety of the Queen Mother, so recently, I want you to stay in Shoukang Palace until the Queen Mother recovers."

Let yourself guard Shoukang Palace, there was a lot of controversy when he was named the general of the Fu Army, and some people speculated about his true identity, and now Yan Qinghan is doing this, but he kills two birds with one stone, he can not only test himself, but also block the mouth of Youyou, which is really a good plan for him.

"The emperor is so filial, presumably the queen mother will be very relieved to learn about it, and the minister will live up to the emperor's expectations and enter the palace on the same day."

Xiaoyi replied happily, Yan Qinghan nodded with satisfaction, Xiaoyi did not hesitate, which made Yan Qinghan take the first step of trusting him.

"Then you should go back and prepare quickly, I will order someone to set up a temporary residence for you in the palace."

"Yes, the minister retired."

After Xiaoyi walked out of the Chongzheng Palace, Qi Guang, who was standing on the side, saw Xiaoyi's figure walking away, approached the palace door, slowly closed it, turned around and said with some concern: "Can the emperor believe this person?" ”

Yan Qinghan got up and walked down the steps, his eyes were indifferent, and he said lightly: "I could believe it before, why can't I now." ”

"But these are two different things." The previous seizure of military power and the current protection of the Queen Mother are clearly different positions, how can the emperor confuse this, Qi Guang is not clear.

"Keeping him in the palace will give me a chance to intervene in Qingxiao, why don't you understand?" Yan Qinghan felt that Qi Guang's brain was getting worse and worse recently, no, to be precise, Tan'er's brain was more bright, but who made her have other important things to do now, it seems that she should fulfill them quickly, so that Tan'er can influence him.

"The minister is stupid, don't blame the emperor." Qi Guang said with some self-reproach.

Yan Qinghan then said leisurely: "If Xiaoyi is in the palace, it will naturally be temporarily cut off from Qingxiao, and you can further explore the identities of the two women in Qingxiao at this time, but you must also be careful of the queen mother's people, since the queen mother's people appear there, there will definitely be no good deeds, and you must take action to protect Qingxiao people when necessary." ”

"Even if there is no Xiaoyi, there is still a deputy sect master in that sect, Chen Yi, he is not so easy to deal with." Qi Guang worried.

"He, I have my own way." Seeing Yan Qinghan's full grasp of the look, Qi Guang instantly understood what he meant, yes, he almost forgot that Jiang Gongzi seems to have been a lot more leisurely recently.

……

After Chen Yi returned to Qingxiao, he saw that Qingxiao was no different, and he was relieved.

In the evening, Chen Yi was in the study to deal with affairs, and there was a knock on the door.

"Ah Yi, it's me." The sound of moon smoke came from outside the door.

"Sister Yueyan, come in." Chen Yi answered, and the moon smoke pushed the door in.

"What's wrong, Sister Yueyan?" Seeing Yueyan's worried expression, Chen Yi asked first.

"I have something to discuss with you." Yueyan opened her mouth, and as soon as she said this, Chen Yi also remembered what Xiaoyi had told him before, and now she could just ask.

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, in the past few days since you left Qingxiao, nothing is quite right outside Qingxiao, it seems that someone is secretly staring at Qingxiao, their whereabouts are mysterious and extra careful, Master was originally afraid that you would be worried and didn't want to talk to you, but after thinking about it, I still feel that it is inappropriate." Yueyan is really not at ease, now Qingxiao is the time when it is weak, and it is easy for people to take advantage of it.

"They are really getting more and more arrogant, and when they saw Xiaoyi leaving, they began to move." Listening to Chen Yi's words, he seemed to know who did it.

"It's the Queen Mother Lu Lan's person." Chen Yi knew that the moon smoke was unknown, and continued.

"Looks like they've been here for a long time." The moon smoke is clear, it turns out that it has long been under their control.

Chen Yi nodded, "Well, it's just before helping Yan Qinghan snatch the military power, and then Qing Xiao suffered a lot of damage, and now Xiao Yi is no more, so they want to see the stitches at this time, do you really think that my Chen Yi is a vegetarian!?" Chen Yi said that the anger came up, and his hand slapped fiercely on the wooden case, and the objects on the wooden case trembled.

Yueyan saw that his mood fluctuated, and said with relief: "Don't be so anxious, they don't dare to act rashly, and now there are me and Master in the door, so they don't dare to do anything." ”

After listening to Yueyan's words, Chen Yi eased slightly, "Sister Yueyan, are you just here to talk to me about this?" ”

"Don't worry, I will protect you and my mother." Chen Yi thought that Yueyan was really worried about their safety, and then said. Writing Zhai

"Where can I use you to protect, or I will protect Master with you, I just can't rest assured, nothing else, now, I can only wait for the opportunity to seek revenge." Moon Smoke said lightly.

Hearing the word "revenge", Chen Yi's expression looked a little lonely, yes, I thought that when I returned to the Wan Dynasty, the chances would be greater, but now it seems that it is indeed getting more and more tricky, and things are becoming more and more complicated.

"Sister Yueyan, do you remember the secret book you gave me before?" Chen Yi sorted out his emotions, thought of the right thing, and asked.

"Remember, did you use that secret book?"

"That secret book is full of all kinds of fantasy and magic techniques, if it is not a last resort, it is better not to use it lightly."

"Where do I have any chance to use it, I put it away after you handed it to me, and now I think about it, I haven't taken it out for a long time." Chen Yi smiled faintly, trying to hide the panic in his heart.

"Even so, do you want to ask me anything?" Yueyan could see that Chen Yi still had something to say.

Chen Yi paused, and then said: "I once saw a secret technique in it, called the technique of qi and vein communication, once this technique is used, can there be a solution?" ”

Yueyan thought for a moment, frowned slightly, shook her head, and then nodded again, really dizzying Chenyi.

"Sister Yueyan, what do you mean by this?"

"Yes, there is, but the solution is too vicious, and it is better to have nothing."

Yueyan's words made Chen Yi's heart twitch suddenly, and a bad premonition arose.

"What's the solution?" Forced by the situation, he still asked.

"It is to sacrifice the life of the third person, if one of the two people connected by the qi veins does not want to live or die with the other, you can channel the spell on your body to the third person."

"Is this the life and death of this person connected to the previous person?" Chen Yi asked urgently.

"No, the third person who has received the spell will break the qi vein, but he will die in half an hour, these spells are strange and wonderful techniques that sound good, and some of them are actually some tricks and evil arts, all of which are practiced by some sects on the rivers and lakes that specialize in studying crooked doors and harming people, so don't use them well, why did you suddenly ask about this, didn't you say that you didn't use it?" Yueyan was a little curious.

"It's useless, it's just curiosity, since you know it's harmful, you gave it back to me!" Chen Yi said angrily, this time it would hurt him miserably.

"Hey, didn't you beg me for a long time to let me give it to you, and now it's my fault." Yueyan naturally refused to eat coptis dumbly.

Chen Yi thought about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case, and now it is too late to regret it, he should not have taken out this secret book and dangled it in front of Xiaoyi in the first place.

Yueyan on the side looked at him with a sad face, and it was even more strange, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”

"Oh, no, no, since you're fine, go out quickly, I still have business to do." Chen Yi got up as he spoke, pushing Yueyan out of the study.

Then, one of them went back to the table, complaining and complaining: "Xiaoyi, I really hurt you this time, alas, what can I do!" ”

The moon smoke outside the door was also in the clouds, but Chen Yi had always been eccentric, so he didn't think much about it, and went back to the room.

Xiaoyi soon returned to the palace, and the palace residence arranged by Yan Qinghan for him was between the palaces of Lu Lan and Du Ruosheng, this position made Xiaoyi feel very embarrassed, one of them lived on these two sides, and the other was an old man who didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, didn't he put himself in a dilemma.

But I was also afraid of something, and as soon as I got out of the palace, I met Du Ruosheng.

When Du Ruosheng saw Xiaoyi, he was slightly startled at first, but immediately returned to his former calm, and the speed of this transformation made people not notice it at all.

"See the Queen." Xiaoyi bowed and saluted.

Ruosheng covered his mouth and smiled, and said lightly: "Why is the general here?" ”

"On the orders of the emperor, enter the palace to guard the Queen Mother until the Queen Mother recovers." Xiaoyi straightened up and explained.

Du Ruosheng looked at Xiaoyi, he didn't think it was all ironic, he protected his blood enemy, and he didn't know how he Xiaoyi could endure it.

"Then the emperor really has a heart, and he actually let you enter the palace to protect the queen mother, and if you can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, wouldn't it bury the general's good martial arts." Du Ruosheng noticed that Xiaoyi's body followed her words and was shocked.

"It doesn't matter how big or small it is to be able to serve the emperor, and how can it be a trivial matter to protect the queen mother." Xiao Yi said with patience.

Du Ruosheng approached and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyi, if you really want revenge, don't use the stupid methods you used before, with your current ability, you can't fight them." ”

Xiaoyi took a few steps back, and said respectfully again: "The minister remembers Niangniang's teachings, and he will not disappoint the emperor and Niangniang." ”

Du Ruosheng looked at him clearly as if he didn't eat firewood, and he didn't feel a little annoyed, "I was blamed for not reminding you!" ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Xiaoyi looked at her departing back, she underestimated him too much after all, she could see Yan Qinghan's those things, how could he not know that the great enemy was imminent, he would naturally not be as impulsive as before, after all, her life is now in her own hands, Xiaoyi still has to think carefully.

"It's the same as Yan Qinghan before, stubborn!" Du Ruosheng's face was slightly stunned, and he muttered to himself.

"Niangniang, what did you say?" Luo Yu, who was following aside, thought he was talking to himself, but he didn't hear it clearly, so he asked.

Du Ruosheng suddenly stopped, and said with slight displeasure: "It's nothing, let's go, go back to the palace!" ”

Yueyan is second monk was confused, and she didn't know what kind of anger her mother was up, "You don't go to see the emperor......." continued to follow behind him and whispered.

"It's gone." Du Ruosheng replied simply and simply.

When Du Ruosheng returned, Xiaoyi was also walking towards him, but this time Du Ruosheng ignored him and walked straight over, leaving Xiaoyi looking back at Du Ruosheng, who was dashing.
