When Zhao Hongrun took Zongwei Mu Qing and others back to the Wenzhao Pavilion in the palace, it was already around the middle of the day.

At this time, Mi Jiang had already gotten up and was sitting in the front hall drinking tea as usual. When she saw Zhao Hongrun walking in from the outside, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Because those who know Zhao Hongrun's work and rest habits know that His Royal Highness King Su rarely gets up before the end of the day.

"Didn't come home overnight?"

Mi Jiang looked at Zhao Hongrun silently.

And Zhao Hongrun also noticed Mi Jiang sitting in the hall, as well as her eyes that were obviously full of doubt.

For some reason, Zhao Hongrun's heartbeat increased slightly, although it sounded very ridiculous, but there was indeed a faint sense of guilt as if the husband had betrayed his wife.

"Up?" Zhao Hongrun greeted with a smile.

Holding the teacup silently, Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun deeply a few times, and suddenly asked, "You didn't return last night, right?" …… Where did it go? ”

At this time, Zhao Hongrun had already thought of the wording, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I was too busy yesterday, so I made do with the smelting bureau for a night." ”

"Oh." Mi Jiang nodded, as if he believed it.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk back to his bedroom, but for some reason, he stopped halfway, looked back at Mi Jiang and asked, "By the way, you are bored here all day, don't you feel bored?" I know you don't really like living within walls...... If you are bored and want to walk around the city, I can ask Shen Yu and them to prepare a pass token for you, anyway, the token of my Su Wangfu should almost be made, just go to the Zongfu. ”

"......" Mi Jiang, who was drinking tea, raised her head and glanced at Zhao Hongrun, her eyes gradually flashed with suspicion, only to see her look Zhao Hongrun up and down a few times, frowned and said, "You...... Something doesn't seem quite right today. ”

"What?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Mi Jiang inexplicably.

I saw Mi Jiang put down the teacup in his hand. said lightly: "On weekdays, you enter and exit this Wenzhao Pavilion, even if I sit here, you will probably pretend that you don't see ......."

Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, a little speechless.

After all, as Mi Jiang said, he used to ignore the two sisters, Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, and purely regarded them as eating white food. Even if he saw Mi Jiang on weekdays, he would at most nod and say hello, and as for Mi Rui, it would be like air.

And it seems that Fang Cai asked Qi Jiang like this, it really didn't look like something he would do.

"No, not quite right......"

Mi Jiang stood up, walked in front of Zhao Hongrun, and circled around him, while carefully looking Zhao Hongrun up and down.

Duration. She reminded faintly: "Your heartbeat is getting faster and faster......

『……』

Zhao Hongrun took a deep breath and secretly calmed down.

He knew that the two sisters, Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, had extraordinary acumen in eyesight, hearing and other senses, and they didn't know what to do with the profession of witch.

Suddenly, Mi Jiang stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Hongrun's sleeve, took a step closer before he could react, and buried his head in his chest. sniffed with his nose on the clothes on Zhao Hongrun's chest.

In an instant, her face sank.

Although she usually looks expressionless. But otherwise, at this time, her face was much more gloomy than usual.

"You were at the woman surnamed Sue last night?"

"What's the matter with this kind of wife-like rebuke of her husband?"

Zhao Hongrun muttered in his heart, raised his hand to struggle, and his sleeves had already broken free from the pull of Mi Jiang. Immediately, he said without changing his face: "No." I was at the Smelting Bureau last night. ”

"Really?" Qi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun coldly, and then turned his gaze to Mu Qing and several other Zongwei behind Zhao Hongrun, who had some puzzled expressions, and at the same time lowered his voice and said to Zhao Hongrun: "You should know that even if you and your Zongwei want to hide this matter, I have a way to make them tell the truth." ”

Speaking of which. Her cold gaze looked at Zhao Hongrun again, and the meaning was self-evident: recruit from the truth!

Hearing what Mi Jiang said, Zhao Hongrun suddenly became a little deflated, shrugged his shoulders for a long time and said, "Okay, okay, I didn't ...... in the Smelting Bureau last night."

『……』

Hearing this, Qi Jiang's eyes were filled with anger, and his eyes were as cold as knives.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun hurriedly grabbed her hand and said in a low voice: "Don't make a noise, come to my house." ”

After that, he sent Mu Qing and a few other sect guards, and went straight to the dormitory with Mi Jiang, after all, Mu Qing and the others didn't know that there was such a thing as a frog Gu.

Mi Jiang let Zhao Hongrun pull her and pulled her to the latter's bedroom, at this time, she broke free of Zhao Hongrun's hand and asked expressionlessly, "You slept with that woman?" ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun was a little stunned by this cold sentence.

Seeing this, a few traces of killing intent flashed in Mi Jiang's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I should have eradicated this hidden danger a long time ago!" ”

With that, she turned to leave.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hongrun was shocked, of course he could guess what Mi Jiang wanted to do, grabbed her hand, pulled her back, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, don't worry, although the truth is as you said, but ...... You don't think I'm fine, are you? ”

Hearing this, Mi Jiang was stunned, and then looked around Zhao Hongrun carefully, which made her wonder that Zhao Hongrun's complexion was indeed good, and there was no weakness at all.

"Stay still!"

After saying a word coldly, Mi Jiang grabbed Zhao Hongrun's wrist with his left hand, and his right hand seemed to be pinching something, and shook it in front of Zhao Hongrun.

"Ahh Zhao Hongrun let out a low snort, because he felt a tingling pain in his wrist, as if he had been pricked by something.

And when he looked closely, he found that a slender silver needle appeared in Qi Jiang's hand at some point, and there were a few traces of blood on the tip of the needle.

Under Zhao Hongrun's inexplicable gaze, Mi Jiang walked to the window, looked at the sunlight shining in from the window, carefully examined the blood-stained silver needle, and after a long time, she exhaled with relief: "Your blood is not poisonous." ”

Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Zhao Hongrun and said strangely, "You really had sex with that woman surnamed Su?" …… I mean, you know what to do? ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes. He said angrily, "I know what you're trying to say." …… I can guarantee that I did have a male and female love with Miss Su last night, in the true sense of the word! ”

Mi Jiang blushed slightly when he was stared at by Zhao Hongrun, turned his head unnaturally, and muttered, "That's weird, it shouldn't be...... According to rumors. You should have died by now. ”

"But I'm still fine." Zhao Hongrun shrugged his shoulders and teased: "I'm very suspicious now, your so-called frog Gu is just something to scare people. ”

"......" Mi Jiang sat at the table with her chin in her hand, not in a hurry to make a conclusion, as if thinking about something, for a long time, she asked, "What about the rest?" Have you ever felt any discomfort? ”

Zhao Hongrun shrugged his shoulders and signaled to the other party that everything was feeling normal now.

Look at him like this. Mi Jiang was obviously a little puzzled, and he didn't know what he was muttering as he sat there.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun sat down opposite her and asked curiously, "You witches, nothing like this has happened before?" ”

Mi Jiang hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "The inheritance of Zhurong Ruins has now declined, and the village where my sister and I were back then. There are only a few dozen shrine maidens......"

may have gradually learned about Zhao Hongrun's relationship, and Mi Jiang finally revealed some news of the "village" to him.

In her description. It was a small village that seemed to be isolated from the world, and there were only a few dozen women of different ages living in the village, and these women were all witches from the ruins of Zhurong, to put it in layman's terms, they were witches who served Zhurong, the god of fire, one of the greatest gods of the Chu Kingdom.

"In the village. All women? All shrine maidens? Zhao Hongrun asked in confusion: "None of them are men?" ”

Qi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and said as a matter of course: "A man is an impure body, how can he serve the gods?" ”

"Impure Body......

The corners of Zhao Hongrun's eyes twitched a few times, and he said angrily: "Since there are no men, how can you witches reproduce?" Didn't you say there were many young girls there, too? ”

Mi Jiang obviously understood. glanced at him and said coldly: "It's an orphan adopted by the old woman." In the land of Baqian, there are countless baby girls who have lost their parents and have no support. …… When they grow up, the gifted girls will stay in the village, and the ungifted girls will leave. ”

"Understood." Zhao Hongrun nodded, he roughly understood what kind of existence the village in Mi Jiang's mouth was.

"Then, the shrine maidens in the village have never had a ...... with other men Didn't that happen? ”

"That's forbidden." Mi Jiang's eyes became a little gloomy when he heard this, and after glancing at Zhao Hongrun, he said expressionlessly: "If I take you back to the village, you will be killed, and I will be tied to firewood and burned to death, in front of all the witches in the village." …… I say that, do you understand? ”

"Why?" Zhao Hongrun was a little incomprehensible.

"Because, the combination of witches and ordinary men has never been spared, therefore, the last generation, or the witch of the last generation, has set a new rule, and must not have anything to do with men in the world......" Speaking of this, Mi Jiang glanced up at Zhao Hongrun, and said lightly: "Originally, after solving the trouble of Xiong Tuogongzi, my sister and I were ready to return to the village. But now, thanks to you, I can't go back. ”

"What the hell is going on with me? Blame it, blame that stupid sister of yours! Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes angrily.

Maybe Mi Jiang also felt that Zhao Hongrun was not to blame for this incident, so he didn't say anything more, but just told Zhao Hongrun: "Don't be lucky, think that the frog Gu is just a scam to scare people, you don't want to know how many poisons will be used to feed the frog Gu...... Maybe those rumors are exaggerated and not as scary as the ancestors said, but one thing you have to remember is that it exists and has always been here. In the end, she stretched out her finger and gently poked Zhao Hongrun's heart.

With that, she gently patted Zhao Hongrun's chest again and turned to leave.

Looking blankly at the back of Mi Jiang leaving, the good mood in Zhao Hongrun's heart that he thought that the Gu worm had failed suddenly sank to the bottom.

"Shen Yu, Shen Yu?"

"What does Your Highness command?"

"You go to the Zongfu in person, and you will have some books about the land of Ba and Qian, and you will get some of them. …… I've already said hello to the second uncle, and the library of the sect will let him go. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" (To be continued.) )
