The question was [I want to get my sword back], but I got an answer from my sister [not allowed to go], it seems that the question is not right, but in fact, it is ......

The sister in front of me has already understood her thoughts.

It should be said that she really deserves to be the daughter of the Ram family?

In the Xie Mansion compound, the withered sheep scratched his hair with a headache, and watched his sister walk away step by step after saying the irrefutable words, and the beauty shadow disappeared at the other end of the corridor.

Some people may ask, if the withered sheep wants to save Wei Hu, Wei Xuan, and other companions who are trapped in the prison of the Great Prison Temple, will they leave quietly for a short time, why should they inform their sister?

The reason is very simple, because the withered sheep does not want to go to the Great Prison Temple to rob the prison with bare hands, it will be an extremely dangerous journey, and going there with bare hands is tantamount to killing oneself.

However, now that he has no money, he really has no spare money to buy a new sword, he can only ask his sister to get the sword back from his sister, for this, he even thought of a lot of excuses, but he never thought that those prevarications and excuses that have been prepared for a long time will be useless at all.

After a few mouthfuls of food, all his thoughts were on the dead sheep on the question of whether his companion was dead or alive, and he lay on the couch in his room with his hands on his pillow.

In his opinion, it was impossible to get the sword back from his sister, and he needed to think of another way.

Sword......

By the way, the martial arts arena in the backyard, the place where the eldest lady of the house Liangqiu dances every day.

Withered Sheep remembered that he had been to his sister Yiyi once before yesterday, and saw that on both sides of the open space where he practiced martial arts, the two rows of wooden shelves were full of all kinds of weapons, although they were only the tools used to practice martial arts in Liangqiu, but their quality was no less than the advantageous blades circulating on the market.

Just quietly one of the hundreds of blades......

Come to think of it. The withered sheep rolled over and got up, walked out of the door, and walked down the hallway to the backyard, but before he could turn the corner, he saw his own sister walking towards him with a plate of nuts.

"Ah Yang, where are you going?" Looking at his younger brother who was tiptoeing in front of him with an uncomfortable expression, Yi Yi asked lightly.

"Huh? Uh......" Under the almost questioning gaze of his sister, the withered sheep showed a reluctant smile on his face, shrugged and said. "Just walk around, walk around......"

"......" Yi Yi glanced at the side door of the small garden next to him when he heard this, and said lightly, "This road leads to the north wing of the backyard...... Where are you going to go in the North Wing? ――Could it be that the concubine refused to return your blade, and planned to steal a weapon from the venue where the eldest lady practiced martial arts? ”

"How...... How can it be! The withered sheep's face froze. Said sarcastically.

"Go back to your room!"

"......" opened his mouth, but he stopped talking, and the helpless withered sheep had to return to his room honestly, and to his surprise, his sister Yiyi also followed.

"This is the nuts that Sister Xiangyu asked someone to buy from the market, and the concubine thinks it tastes good, you taste it......" It seems that she has forgotten about it. Yiyi's smile regained on her face and pushed the plate of nuts in her hand in front of the withered sheep.

For his sister Yiyi, who thinks of her own brother no matter what good things are, the withered sheep is very moved in her heart, but right now. However, he desperately hoped that this sister would leave as soon as possible, so as not to delay his plan to steal the sword.

Unfortunately, after sitting down, Yi Yi had no intention of leaving. He instructed one of the attendants to go to the kitchen and boil a pot of boiling water and make tea in front of the withered sheep. Her slow and methodical tea-making technique made the withered sheep anxious.

Yes, my sister's way of making tea is quite professional, and her movements are good-looking, which is very pleasing to the eye, but so what? He withered sheep and couldn't get a sword out of the tea?

"Sister, you should be very busy, right?" Seeing that his sister didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, the withered sheep couldn't bear it anymore, and plucked up the courage to test it.

"What?"

"Uh, I mean, well, so many things in the house have to be asked by my sister herself, my sister should be very busy, right? I'm not going to bother......"

"......" Yi Yi glanced at his younger brother when he heard Yanxiu, and said lightly, "No, the concubine has nothing to do in the afternoon, and the sundries in the house, Qian Xi's housekeeper will take care of it......"

Shh

The withered sheep felt pity and clenched his fists, and suddenly a flash of inspiration deliberately teased, "Don't you go to accompany your brother-in-law?" ”

Yi Yi was stunned, as if he didn't expect the withered sheep to say the word [brother-in-law], after all, the two of them have tacitly avoided the fact that the two of them are sisters and brothers for some reason in the past two days.

"Your brother-in-law...... Just now, the Son of Heaven sent someone to summon him and invited him to the palace for a gathering, and there were some important matters to discuss. After a pause, Yi Yi explained lightly.

Damn, what are you running around at this time?

The withered sheep gritted his teeth in his heart for the [brother-in-law] Xie An, who had only met a few times.

I don't know if I noticed the look of the withered sheep, Yi Yi pushed one of the cups of tea in front of him, and said lightly, "Ah Yang, you don't seem to want the concubine here?" ”

"No, no," Withered Sheep shook his head again and again, and smiled reluctantly, "Sister is happy to be here, I can't rejoice in it......"

"That's good......" Yiyi smiled with a satisfied smile on her face.

You don't really plan to spend it here, do you?

Looking at his sister Yiyi Lao Shen drinking tea on the ground and occasionally eating two slices of nuts, the withered sheep only felt a cold sweat in his head, and he vaguely sensed his sister's purpose, that is, to look at him and not give him a chance to leave Xie Mansion one step.

Thinking of this, the withered sheep is really a little helpless, after all, he thought that he was alone, but after suddenly discovering that there was a dear sister in the world, he cared a lot about this family affection, and he didn't want to be unhappy with her, but ......

After hesitating, the withered sheep decided to confess everything to his own sister.

"Sister, the Jinling assassin named Xiao Li I met when I was waiting to go out in the carriage in the morning was one of the dozens of people who pursued me a few days ago......"

"Oh, yes." Yi Yi replied lightly, in an almost perfunctory tone.

Seeing that her sister's face was indifferent, and she was not as shocked as she imagined, the withered sheep was stunned, and asked tentatively, "Sister, you don't want to ask, why am I being hunted down by that Xiao Li?" ”

"I don't want to!" Blowing on the hot air in the teacup, Yi Yi took a sip. Said lightly.

Don't want to......

In a simple sentence, the topic that the withered sheep deliberately provoked was completely broken, so that the withered sheep did not know how to continue.

"Actually...... The person named Wei Hu that my brother-in-law arrested a few days ago is my companion......"

"Hmm!" Yi Yi nodded nonchalantly, not knowing if this was a response to the withered sheep's words, or simply praising the tea in the cup.

The withered sheep really couldn't bear it anymore, gritted his teeth, and whispered, "Sister." I...... I'm from the Taiping Army! ”

Withered Sheep thought that this sentence could break the peace that his sister could pretend, but to his surprise, he nodded to the sitting sister and only threw out a [oh] word, which made Withered Sheep feel extremely uncomfortable. It was as if he had exerted all his strength, but he punched the weak cotton.

"Sister!" Faced with his sister's several actions of turning a deaf ear, Dry Yang was a little annoyed, he didn't think that the fourth lady of Xie An, the dignified secretary of the Criminal Department, would not know anything about the Taiping Army.

"I'm going to save them!" Looking at his sister's beautiful eyes, the withered sheep said categorically.

The whole room suddenly became silent. Yi Yi silently held the tea cup in his hand and ate the tea silently, but did not say a word.

It wasn't until halfway through that she sighed faintly. In a somewhat trembling tone, he whispered, "Can't you go?" ”

From her tone, the withered sheep heard the meaning of the pleading. I was speechless for a while, after gritting my teeth. He said in a deep voice, "I'm going!" - They...... It's my companions, companions I've been with for years, and I can't watch them die like that in the Great Hell Temple! ”

"......" raised his head, Yi Yi silently looked at his brother in front of him, looked at his determined expression, and suddenly said faintly, "Fang Cai, the concubine body has been tested from Qian Xi's mouth, Qian Xi, he was also one of the assassins of the Dongling Clan, and I learned from him that those people in the Great Prison Temple did not confess to you......" Speaking of this, she bit her lip slightly, and looked at her own brother with an almost pleading gaze.

As if he understood the deep meaning in his sister's eyes, the withered sheep opened his mouth and said in a complicated tone, "Sister, what do you mean, you don't want me to watch them die, right?" ”

Swept away by her brother's stunned gaze, Yiyi lowered her head a little ashamedly, her hands holding the teacup trembled slightly, biting her lip lightly, and after half a ring, she exhaled deeply, raised her head and looked at the withered sheep's eyes again, there was no longer warmth.

"Anyway, you stay in the house obediently for the concubine!"

"What if I say no?" The withered sheep frowned and said in a deep voice, although he knew very well that his sister was for his own good, but he couldn't sit back and watch his companion suffer an accident.

It is true that he is indeed an anti-thief Taiping Army, but he also has his righteousness!

Looking apologetically at his sister in front of him, Dry Sheep slowly stood up, because he realized that something unpleasant must have happened between their sister and brother.

Suddenly, the withered sheep felt dizzy, and unconsciously sat back on the stool again, covering his head with his hands with an inexplicable expression.

"......" Yes, Yi Yi silently ate his tea.

"Sister?" Stunned, he glanced at Yiyi, and the withered sheep said in disbelief, "You...... Do you drugged your tea? ”

"It's just sweat medicine...... Yi Yi said lightly, admitting in disguise the fact that she was drugged in the tea for her own brother.

"For ...... Why? The withered sheep looked at her sister in disbelief.

"Why?" Yi Yi smiled bitterly, turned her head to look at the withered sheep who had shown a little anger, and said bitterly, "My sister doesn't want my own brother who I finally met to die in vain......

"You...... Sister, you ......" Seeing that Yi Yi broke the fact that they were sisters and brothers at this time, the withered sheep was stunned.

"Don't go, withered sheep, okay? That's the end of it...... Don't lose your life for those who have nothing to do with it, if you are afraid that the Taiping army will learn about it, you just need to change your name, yes, yes, as long as you change your name, my sister can help you arrange an errand in Jijing......"

Forced to endure the effect of the drug and felt dizzy, Withered Sheep looked at his sister in disbelief who he had always thought was gentle and virtuous, gritted his teeth and muttered, "I misjudged you......"

"What?"

I saw a trace of anger flashing in the dead sheep's eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "You yourself are not the dog of the Liangqiu family, and you are still here to harm me?!" ”

"What did you say?" Yi Yi looked at the withered sheep in surprise, obviously not expecting her own brother to say this about her.

"Isn't it?" Standing up with his hands on the table with difficulty, the withered sheep gritted his teeth and said, "The Liangqiu family has a deep blood feud with my ram family, but what about you? As the daughter of the Ram family. recognized the thief as his father, and he was confused for more than ten years, but he didn't know who his biological father was...... Is it so important to be rich and prosperous? - Hmph, hehe, don't you want to ask what that Tianshu's jade plaque represents? Let me tell you, that represents the identity of the six great generals of the Taiping Army! - Yes, I am the second generation of the Taiping Army's Tianshu Divine General, withered sheep, you quickly took my head and asked the Great Zhou Imperial Court for merit......"

"Smack!" A crisp and resounding slap hit the withered sheep in the face. Interrupted the withered sheep's next words.

In normal times, this kind of attack with almost no power would have no effect on the dry sheep, but now it is different, he is unable to stand on his feet because of the drug. Now he was slapped by his sister, and he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

Looking at his brother who fell to the ground unconscious with a complicated expression, Yi Yi bit her lip tightly, and her silver teeth accidentally bit the tender flesh at the corner of her mouth, oozing a few traces of blood.

I'm sorry, Ayang. In any case, my sister can't sit idly by......

Glancing at her brother guiltily, Yi Yi wiped the moistness from the corners of her eyes with her cuffs and took a deep breath. After regaining his usual appearance, he walked to the door.

"Someone!"

With a rush of footsteps, several Xie Fu family members who heard the shouting hurriedly came and said respectfully. "What do you command the fourth lady?"

Turning his head and pointing to the withered sheep in the room, Yi Yi said in a deep voice. "Tie him up with ropes and put him in the woodhouse!"

"This is ......" The family members looked at Yi Yi suspiciously, after all, as far as they knew, the new family member was very valued by the fourth lady in front of them.

"Hugh asks more!" Yi Yi said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Seeing the displeasure on the fourth lady's face, several family members nodded hurriedly.

"By the way, this thing...... Hugh is going to reveal it to the others, understand? Including several ladies in the house, including the husband......"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the family members tied the unconscious brother withered sheep with ropes and dragged them to the direction of the firewood house, Yi Yi sighed faintly, and his mood was very heavy.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and her face was stunned.

Liang Qiu's ...... Have a blood feud with the Ram family?

Frowning, Yi Yi walked to the North Wing with broken steps, she planned to find someone to ask about this matter, as for who knew best, it was undoubtedly Jin Ling'er who was born in Jinling.

"Sister Ling'er?" In front of Jin Ling'er's door, Yi Yi slammed the door.

After a while, Jin Ling'er's gentle words came from inside the room.

"Yiyi? Hmm, come in......"

Yiyi pushed the door and walked into the room, and saw Jin Ling'er reading pharmacology books at the table in the room, and apologized for her guilt.

"I'm bothering my sister......"

"Whatever you say, come, sit." Jin Ling'er stood up and welcomed Yiyi to the stool next to the table very affectionately and sat down, although she had a bad relationship with Liangqiu Wu, but this did not hinder her relationship with Yiyi, after all, Yiyi had a [Sister Ling'er], Jin Ling'er didn't know how happy she was in her heart.

It seemed to notice that Yiyi still had a little apology on her face, Jin Ling'er said with a little self-deprecation, "It's okay, my sister is idle, she married into this door, and my sister has nothing else to do except read pharmacology books...... Damn thief! In the end, the woman who was once regarded as the eldest sister of the Jinling underworld was quite devastated, and there was a bit of resentment in her tone.

She was obviously very concerned about the fact that she was [idle] by her husband Xie An to some extent, but she didn't see the other Jinling brothers rising step by step, and they were greatly used by her husband, but what about her? Doing nothing in the house all day, in a word, she was stuffy.

Seeing Jin Ling'er pouring bitter water, Yi Yi covered her lips and smiled, and after talking about her daughter's private words for a while, she asked softly, "By the way, Sister Ling'er is from Jinling, right?" ”

"That's right," Jin Ling'er smiled and nodded, and said, "Jinling is a good place to go, the scenery is not under Jijing, when the thief is free, ask him to take a few of our sisters to Jiangnan for a walk......"

"I'm afraid it's ......not easy," Yi Yi said with a wry smile, thinking about it, after all, their husband Xie An is the secretary of the criminal department of the imperial court, and he is not a rich man in the countryside, where can he take them to Jiangnan to play?

"That's what you said......" Jin Ling'er, who thought of one place with Yiyi, sighed regretfully, and muttered with a little complaint, "Although the thief's official is getting bigger and bigger, he is also tied up because of this, if he has time to take a few of our sisters out to play...... By the way, Yiyi, what did you mention Jinling for? After pouring a stomach full of bitter water, Jin Ling'er thought of Yiyi to ask about the purpose of this matter.

"That's the case, Sister Ling'er has heard of the Ram's family? Jinling Ram's ......"

"The ram family in Jinling?" Jinling thought for a moment when he heard this, frowned and said, "This surname seems to be extinct in Jinling now, but there was a lot of power in Jinling more than ten years ago...... It is said that in response to the rebellion of the Taiping army, it was exterminated by the Emperor of the Great Zhou along with the four towns of Jijing. ”

Not noticing Yiyi's wrong expression, Jin Ling'er recounted expressionlessly, to be honest, she didn't have any good feelings for the Great Zhou court and the Taiping army, after all, her parents were killed because they were framed by the local government as the Taiping army, making her lonely since she was a child, and in order to survive, her hands were covered with blood with her companions.

"...... Exterminated? Yi Yi asked with difficulty, holding his heart that was beating faster and faster.

"That's right, according to my sister, the head of the Ram family, Pei is the former minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and in response to the call of Xue Ren, the first commander of the Taiping Army, he helped him capture Jinling, so he was attacked by the Great Zhou army, it seems to be the Eastern Army and the Southern Army. On the night of the city gate, hundreds of people from the ram's house, along with miscellaneous servants and servants, were all killed, and not a single one was left alive...... Isn't it dead? - Yiyi, what are you asking for? ”

"I ......" Looking at Jin Ling'er's puzzled look, Yi Yi endured the horror in his heart and reluctantly smiled, "Just ask casually......"

Jin Ling'er's intelligence is far inferior to that of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and she was jokingly called by her husband Xie An behind her back as a stupid and stupid person who is not inferior to Liangqiu Dance, where can she see that something is wrong on Yiyi's face, and she was immediately relieved when she heard this.

Eastern Army ......

Liang Qiu's family?

[…… Liangqiu's family, that's the enemy of my ram family......]

Recalling what her brother Withered Sheep had said, Yi Yi smiled bitterly in her heart, because she had realized that her brother would never stay in the house.
