――April 4, the first year of Jingzhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jijingdong Mansion――

In a wing room in the north courtyard of the Donggong Mansion, Yi Yi sat behind the desk in the room, looking at the golden jade wooden plaque in his hand with a puzzled expression, and gently stroked the word [Tianshu] on the front of the jade plaque with his right hand, and the lifelike three-clawed golden fire crow on the back.

Two days ago, because her husband Xie An and Liang Qiuwu, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and Jin Ling'er were not in the house, Yi Yi saw that there was nothing to do in the house, so she took a few maids and family members and returned to the Donggong Mansion, to be honest, Liang Qiuwu was not the only one worried about her grandfather Liang Qiugong, who lived alone, after all, Yiyi had been adopted in the Donggong Mansion since she could remember, and to some extent, Liang Qiugong was also like her grandfather.

What he didn't expect was that when Yi Yi took a few maids and family members to tidy up the grass and trees near the small ancestral hall in the backyard of the Donggong Mansion, he accidentally found that a person broke in over the wall, covered in blood, and fell heavily into the bushes and passed out, followed by dozens of assassins from the Dongling and Jinling people......

Who is that child?

Why was he hunted down by the Assassins of Dongling?

Could it be that he committed some crime in Jijing?

If that's the case, isn't that ......

Thinking of this, Yi Yi bit her lip slightly, she couldn't understand why she would save that strange child......

Just as Yiyi was looking down and thinking, a maid hurriedly walked into the house, saluted and whispered, "Sister Yiyi, no, madam...... The man seems to be waking up......"

Yi Yi was slightly stunned, then got up and hid the jade plate in her hand in the drawer of the wall cabinet in the house, and then followed the maid out of the house, along the corridor all the way to a guest room, which was where her husband Xie An had not yet officially married her young lady Liang Qiuwu, and it was also the place where she first met Xie An. To this day, Iyi still couldn't figure out why she had placed that stranger of unknown origin in a room that meant so much to her.

At the same time, the withered sheep opened his eyes for the first time after falling into a two-day coma, and with his acumen as a candidate for the god general, he should have sensed that something was wrong with his environment.

Well, in fact, it is a bit inappropriate to introduce it like this, after all, it is a dead sheep at the moment. He has successfully killed [Former Tianshu Divine General] Geng Nan and obtained the qualification of the Six Divine Generals, although there is a certain amount of water in it.

Slowly sitting up on the bed, the withered sheep immediately felt the burning touch from his chest, which was left by Geng Nan, the former god of heaven.

"Thankfully, there was some trickery. Otherwise, it's really not that guy's opponent......" muttered in a low voice, and the withered sheep suddenly noticed the wound on his chest, and his face showed a little stunned.

Was it saved?

With all the suspicions in his heart, the withered sheep raised his head and looked solemnly at everything around the room, with the knowledge of the furniture and decoration in the house. Withered sheep is very sure that the owner of this mansion must be a big man in Jijing.

Suddenly, the withered sheep noticed a pair of calligraphy hanging on the opposite wall, out of curiosity. He subconsciously whispered.

"The grace of a meal will be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes will be repaid......" Thinking of this, the withered sheep couldn't help but chuckle, because he felt. This calligraphy and this room have a vague sense of incompatibility. Shaking his head, he smirked to himself, "What kind of person would hang such a note in his house?" ”

And at this moment, a female voice came from the door of the house, which made him feel slightly startled in his heart.

"That's the motto of the concubine husband......"

"......" At first hearing this voice, the withered sheep was suddenly startled in his heart, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the door, and unexpectedly found that a beautiful young woman walked in slowly, followed by a maid and two strong family members.

"This voice ......" shook his head to forget about the inexplicable closeness of this voice, and the withered sheep's slightly confused eyes at first gradually showed a little solemnity, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Did you save me?" ”

The young woman who walked into the house was undoubtedly Yiyi, who smiled slightly when she heard the words, and said softly, "It's not like saving you, if you can't explain why you broke into this mansion covered in blood, the concubine will still hand you over to the government......

As soon as he finished speaking, the two sturdy men behind Yi Yi stepped forward, crossed their arms, and stared at the withered sheep.

For this kind of family mansion with empty brute strength, the withered sheep sneered in his heart, after all, in his eyes, if it was in his heyday, even if there were a hundred, he would not be his opponent, but now......

Forcibly enduring the severe pain and weakness on his body, the withered sheep barely leaned on the end of the bed, and after looking deeply at the young woman who had saved him, he hugged his fists and said, "In the next ...... Withered sheep! -- The withering of the dry well, the sheep of the cattle and sheep! ”

"Withered sheep?" Yi obviously felt that the name was a little strange, and glanced at the withered sheep suspiciously.

As if noticing the suspicious look in Yiyi's eyes, the withered sheep snorted lightly, and said lightly with a little displeasure, "The eldest husband will not change his name or change his surname!" ”

"Hey, what kind of attitude do you kid?!" A housekeeper scolded in a deep voice.

Raising his hand to stop the family next to him, Yi Yi looked back and forth at the withered sheep's eyes, and then said with a little apology, "In this way, it seems that the concubine is a little angry...... Withered goat, huh? In that case, would you like to ask the Withered Sheep Boy to explain why he broke into this mansion without permission? ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on the withered sheep's face when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and whispered, "Don't dare to be a ...... It's not that I deliberately broke into the house, but I was forced to be cornered and chased and killed, and I hope this sister will forgive me! ”

"Was it chased and killed by the Dongling and Jinling assassins?" The red lips opened slightly, and Yi said softly.

Hearing this, the withered sheep was startled in his heart, and his eyes narrowed subconsciously to look at the good-looking young woman, and then, a few conversations that he had heard before he fell unconscious suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Stop!] - This is the fourth lady of the adult, Mrs. Yiyi, must not be rude! - Mrs. Ey, have you ever seen a guy covered in blood? ]

This woman ......

Who is she? It looks like the daughter of a family who doesn't go out of the door, but why did she know about the existence of the two groups of assassins in Dongling and Jinling?

The withered sheep's eyes were a little wary.

To be honest, Yi Yiyuan is much smarter than her young lady Liang Qiuwu, although she is far less than the demon-like existence of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but she can also be called intelligent. Seeing the withered sheep looking at her in horror, she didn't understand, and explained softly when she saw this, "It's not a secret, the Dongling people and the Jinling assassins who chased and killed the withered sheep prince are the subordinates of the concubine and the husband......"

"What?" The withered sheep was shocked when he heard this, and secretly complained in his heart.

As if noticing the strange look of the withered sheep, one of the housekeepers whispered to Yiyi, "Madame." From a small point of view, this kid doesn't look like a good person, so let's send someone to report the south and north towns...... By the way, it's better to call Zhou Shaoqing from the Great Prison Temple to deal with it, Zhou Shaoqing is an old subordinate of my uncle......"

The Great Prison Temple?

The withered sheep's heartbeat instantly accelerated. You must know that before he attacked Geng Nan, he had already secretly inquired about the news of Jijing, where would he not know what kind of existence the Great Prison Temple was, which could be called the nest of the assassins in Dongling, and those who served as jailers in the Great Prison Temple were all assassins who were proficient in assassination tracking, in terms of his current physical condition. Even if there was only one jailer, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Thinking of this, the withered sheep clenched his fists and said, "This lady." Please also raise your noble hand, do not inform the court, and leave here, and will never cause any inconvenience to your mansion......"

Iyi hadn't spoken yet. The two family members had already restrained the withered sheep earlier, and said with a sneer in their mouths. "Want to go? It's not that easy! ”

The withered sheep was so angry, secretly thinking that if he was not seriously injured, how could he be restrained by these two empty brute force families, just when he was a little desperate, he suddenly heard the young woman sigh slightly.

"It doesn't look like some wicked man when he hears this...... Ah Chang, Ah Ji, let him go! ”

"This ......" the two family members were stunned when they heard this, turned their heads and said in surprise, "Madam, this kid was chased and killed by the assassins of Dongling and Jinling, and it is obvious that he is not a good person......

Yi Yi hesitated for a moment, looked at the pleading look in the eyes of the withered sheep for a long time, and for some reason his heart softened, and sighed lightly and said, "Keep him for three more days, and after three days, let him leave the house to fend for himself!" ”

She said this not so much to the two family members as to the withered sheep.

Seeing this, the two family members had no choice but to let go of the withered sheep.

"Yes!"

"Thank you!" The unrestrained withered sheep hugged Yiyi's fist, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little gratitude.

In the final analysis, the people who were born in the Taiping Army are not some extremely vicious people, they are targeting the Li family of the Great Zhou royal family, not other irrelevant people, neither Chen Bei nor Wu Heng have killed innocents indiscriminately because of their likes and dislikes.

Yi Yi nodded slightly, accepting the gratitude of the withered sheep, and after thinking for a moment, he said softly, "The withered sheep boy has been in a coma for two days, but he feels hungry?" The concubine has instructed the kitchen to prepare the meal......"

To be honest, Yi Yi didn't understand why she was so polite and cared for this strange guy.

"Thank you......" It didn't seem that he didn't expect the young woman to take such care of herself, the withered sheep was stunned, and said gratefully, "Thank you for this lady, oh, the lady is called the withered sheep!" ”

Glancing deeply at the withered sheep with a somewhat inexplicable look, Yi Yi immediately ordered his subordinates to serve the food.

Because he had been in a coma for two whole days, he was hungry, and the withered sheep did not care about etiquette, so he devoured a meal.

I have to say that he was very satisfied with the dishes prepared for him by the beautiful young woman, and the fly in the ointment was, for some reason, when he was gobbling up, the young woman sat on the side, looking at him with strange eyes, which made the withered sheep feel a little uncomfortable.

But in any case, because of the filling of his stomach, the withered sheep is no longer as weak as Fang Cai, and if those two family members dare to offend him again, he will make them understand that the new Tianshu Divine General of the Taiping Army is not a person who can be used by people.

But then again, seeing that this young woman treated herself so well, the withered sheep was really embarrassed to do anything evil.

"This lady, you ...... But Jiangnan people? Swallowing the last bite of food, the withered sheep finally asked the biggest question in his mind.

Yi Yi smiled when she heard this, because she remembered that her husband, Xie An, had asked her the same question.

"No, the concubine is a person from the capital......"

"Huh?" The withered sheep was stunned, looking at Yiyi's fair complexion with an incredible expression, not out of any evil intentions, but he simply felt that only Jiangnan could produce such a beautiful woman.

"Say so. Are you from Jiangnan? Yi asked softly.

The withered sheep hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and said in a low voice with a somewhat inexplicable heavy tone, "Originally from Jinling, Jiangnan, but in the past, I lived in Jingzhou for more than ten years, and I lived in Jingzhou......"

"Jinling?" Yi Yi was stunned and muttered, "Isn't that Sister Ling'er's villager?" ”

"What?" It didn't seem clear what Yi was muttering. The withered sheep asked suspiciously.

"No, it's nothing," Yi smiled and shook her head, then looked the withered sheep up and down a few times, and asked softly. "When bandaging your injuries, the maid of the concubine once found a jade tablet with the word [Tianshu] written on it......"

Hearing this, the withered sheep's face changed greatly, and he subconsciously groped his whole body, looking at Yi Yi with a shocked expression.

As if sensing the strange expression of the withered sheep, Yi Yi asked suspiciously, "Is it something very important?" ”

"This ......," the withered sheep hesitated for a moment and said vaguely. Yes, it's an important thing, and I ask this lady to return it to the next ......."

For the jade plate that can represent the identity of the six gods, even the young woman in front of him who saved herself. The withered sheep didn't want to reveal too much, firstly, the other party's husband sounded like a high-ranking official with considerable power in the imperial court, and it was very likely that he knew something about the Taiping Army, and secondly, secondly. If the sign fell into the woman's hands, it would not be a good thing for her. After all, once this matter is leaked, the Taiping army will definitely send a large number of people to regain the brand, which is likely to bring unnecessary trouble to this kind woman.

"I see...... "Maybe she saw something from the withered sheep's anxious expression, Yi Yi nodded and said, "Since it is an important thing, after you leave the mansion after you are injured, the concubine will be returned to you......" She said, she stood up.

"Where are you going?" The withered sheep asked subconsciously, and as soon as the words came out, he felt the faux pas in his words.

The other party is not related to him, so he asks why he is doing this?

Seeing that the look in Yiyi's eyes became more and more strange, the withered sheep's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly defended, "Uh, what does it mean...... Well, I was in a coma for about two days, but I wanted to walk outside the house, so I ......"

Yi Yi smiled slightly and said softly, "In that case, you can follow......

A moment later, Yi Yi took the injured withered sheep to the small ancestral hall in the backyard of the Donggong Mansion, and when he heard that this mansion was the Liangqiu family of the Donggong Mansion, the withered sheep's expression suddenly changed.

"What did my sister say? Is this the East Mansion? Because he was grateful to Yiyi for saving his life, and because the other party looked older than him, and besides, the woman had an inexplicable sense of closeness for some reason, and the withered sheep made an exception to call the unknown woman in front of her with her sister.

"That's right......" Yi Yi looked at the withered sheep with a greatly changed complexion, and could see that she was a little flustered.

"So, my sister is also from the Liangqiu family in Donggong Mansion?" The withered sheep's eyes became fierce, and there was a bit of inexplicable hatred in his eyes.

"This ...... Sort of, after all, the old man adopted the concubine when he was young, and the concubine stayed by the young lady's side and waited for the young lady's daily life......" Saying that, Yi Yi briefly explained that she was adopted by Liangqiu Gong when she was young, although even she didn't know why she wanted to explain.

"So that's ......" Withered Sheep sighed with relief when he heard this, and saw that Yiyi seemed to be frightened by his talented look, and quickly apologized.

Glancing at the withered sheep strangely, Yiyi walked into the small ancestral hall and put a stick of incense on the ancestors of the Liangqiu family, while the withered sheep always stood outside the small ancestral hall.

After estimating a stick of incense, Yi Yi walked out of the small ancestral hall, and under the surprised gaze of the withered sheep, he walked to a small shrine outside the ancestral hall, lit an incense stick, and then bowed to the shrine.

The withered sheep looked at it and wondered in his heart, and walked over curiously, but was stunned to find that the shrine was locked for some reason, and he could not see who was in it.

"Who is this? Is it my sister's relative? The withered sheep asked curiously.

Yi Yi shook his head when he heard this.

"Sister doesn't know?" The withered sheep was stunned, and asked inexplicably, "In that case, why does my sister want to worship?" ”

"It was the old man's order......," Yi Yi said softly, "I can't remember when, in short, the old man ordered the concubine to worship every month, but he was not allowed to find out the identity of the people offered in the shrine......"

At this moment, how could the withered sheep not know that the old man in Yiyi's mouth was referring to [Hanoi's Tiger] Liang Qiuqing, he frowned when he heard this, and asked curiously, "Sister doesn't want to know?" ”

"This ......" Yi Yi frowned slightly when she heard this, after all, she had been worshipping the spiritual position for more than ten years, and she didn't want to know who was offered in this shrine, but Liang Qiu Gong strictly forbade it, and she didn't dare to be disobedient, after all, for Yi Yi, Liang Qiu Gong was also like a grandfather.

And just as she hesitated, there was a click beside her, and she looked back, only to be shocked to see the withered sheep bending the copper lock and pulling the whole lock down.

"What are you doing?!" Yi asked in shock.

"Doesn't my sister want to take a look? Look at who the shrine that my sister has worshiped for more than ten years is for? ”

"......" stared intently at the shrine that had been pulled off the copper lock, Yiyi's breathing couldn't help but become a little short, and his slightly trembling right hand slowly reached out to the shrine and gently opened the wooden door.

"Jinling...... Ram's ...... Pei Gong ...... "With a little inexplicable excitement, Yi Yi slowly read the names of the people on the spiritual throne enshrined in the shrine, and his eyes showed a little surprise.

And at this moment, I saw the withered sheep trembling all over, and subconsciously took a step forward, staring at the names of the people on the ranking.

Unexpectedly...... It turned out to be the first general of the Taiping Army who was beheaded by the Great Zhou Emperor Li Ji with Xue Ren seventeen years ago, and then defended Jinling for several months, and was finally broken through the city by the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army of the Liangqiu family, resulting in the first general of the Taiping Army who was beheaded by the Great Zhou Emperor Li Ji, the relict of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Ram Pei?!

"Why...... Why ......" Under Yiyi's surprised gaze, the withered sheep looked at the spiritual position dumbfounded, trembling all over, and couldn't stop taking a few steps back, his heart was like an angry wave crashing on a stone, and it was difficult to regain his calm.

Why did the Liangqiu family of Donggong Mansion, who killed more than 100 people from my ram family, actually offer my father's spiritual seat in the mansion?!

With a loud roar in his heart for no apparent reason, the withered sheep's eyes flashed with a burst of blood red, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't take his eyes off the young woman beside him who was very characteristic of a Jiangnan woman......

Why did Liang Qiuqian ask her to worship my father's spiritual seat every month, and specially added a lock to the shrine to prevent her from finding out who set up the spiritual seat in the shrine......

Could it be ......
