She sat for a moment and realized that something was wrong. Although the surroundings of this house are coordinated, they are too plain, and there is no anger everywhere.

At this time, the servant and maid came with a few handymen carrying a suitcase, saying that they were coming to deliver daily clothes and accessories according to Gao Yunrong's order.

Xiao Yezi put away the suitcase, opened it and saw that it was white clothes out of the sky, and he couldn't help but feel even more depressed. The servants and maids seemed to be dissatisfied with her, and hurriedly explained that this was the uniform of the servants, so it was all white. The servant's attitude was quite flattering, which surprised Xiao Yezi.

After all these years of wandering, few people are willing to put down their bodies to flatter her, and she is already thankful that she doesn't bully her. I used to always think that if I succeeded in my struggle, I would naturally be able to deserve such respect. But at this moment, she was not happy at all, just politely responded a few words and laughed a few times.

After a few idle words, the servants and maids were still in the local area, but they didn't leave. Xiao Yezi was a little puzzled, but then he thought of something, and hurriedly reached out to touch his side, but there was nothing valuable to reward. The servant didn't care, just glanced at the suitcase. Xiao Yezi suddenly realized, turned around and looked for a long time from the suitcase, except for the white clothes, they were also some daily necessities, and the jewelry was pitiful. When the servant woman saw this, her face was slightly worried. Xiao Yezi felt embarrassed, and wanted to explain the reason and refused to reward, but when he moved the clothes in the box, a string of white bracelets fell out of the clothes. She didn't look closely, and she didn't know how much the bracelet was worth, so she just cared about solving the urgent need, so she picked it up and gave it to the servant. The servants and maids thanked the reward with great gratitude, and departed happily.

Xiao Yezi stood at the door, holding the door frame with his hand, watching the servant woman leave happily, and her heart was quite uncomfortable. Compared with Gao Yunrong and Xue Yue, the ladies of a first-class family, even if they are dressed in the same white clothes, they also have treasures on their heads and hands. She is rootless and helpless, her family is poor, and the only reward she can get her hands on is just a reward from others, just like Yang Yizhao borrowed her earrings, no matter how she changed hands, it was not her own. Although she understands this truth, the contrast is also stronger in different environments.

It's useless to think too much. No matter what, if it comes, it will be safe. It's not far from the rose garden, so it's better to pick a few flowers and bottle them, decorate them, and refresh yourself.

A man walked straight to the garden. Along the way, people were respectful to her, but she was not proud at all. These people are all good to her because of Yunxi's promotion of face. Even that Lingxuan, I'm afraid, is no exception. If one day I am no longer favored by Yunxi, will it be very different from my current situation?

It's okay, I'm just going to stay here. Only by staying here can Li Li be found and protected.

There are many flowers in the garden, especially roses, which are big, red, and delicate. Xiao Yezi found a handful of flower scissors from the corner and picked a few good ones for herself. Just as she was about to go back, Yang Yizhao suddenly appeared at the gate of the garden.

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Xiao Yezi's heart immediately relaxed a lot, and he smiled sincerely: "Why didn't you go back to the Liren Pavilion?" ”

Yang Yizhao sighed and smiled reluctantly: "I just secretly went to see Yue'er, and I came to see you by the way." ”

Xiao Yezi laughed: "It turned out that I went to see my fiancée, no wonder I had a bitter look on my face." It must be your fiancée who is above the top of the eye that makes you angry. The two of you have a marriage contract, and you don't have a private agreement for life, how can you still be sneaky when you meet? It's just that she became a close attendant, not a concubine of the emperor. Do you prospective couples meet and chat, do you still need a license? ”

Yang Yizhao shook his head, his smile was a little bitter: "It's not a concubine, and I won't lose." The attendant is the personal entourage of the helper, although he does not have the real power of the king, but after all, he is still in the center of the position, which is very important. The Heavenly King Gang has long stipulated that all the Heavenly King Hall masters who are too close to their close servants without permission must be tied up and sent to the sword palace, and the ten musketeers will punish the crime of fornication according to the law. ”

Xiao Yezi was stunned when he heard it: "But aren't you and Xue Yue married for the rest of your life?" I don't believe it. For the sake of the name of a close servant, even the future husband will not be regarded as a stranger from now on? How can this be true? ”

Yang Yizhao smiled even more bitterly: "There is no right or wrong, it's just a person's choice." My marriage contract is now dead in name. Soon the Xue family will send someone to retreat. The man who was forced to withdraw from the marriage, the king of heaven helped me to be the first one. ”

Xiao Yezi looked at his handsome face with bitter gloom, his heart softened, and comforted: "If you men's families are allowed to withdraw from marriage, aren't women's families allowed to do the same?" But don't think about it, in my opinion, although Miss Xue is a little arrogant, she is sincere to you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to eat my jealousy everywhere, would she? ”

Yang Yizhao lowered his head and said gloomily: "In short, I don't have the ability to carry forward the Liren Pavilion." Otherwise, Yue'er would not have chosen to run for the waiter. I also want to say sorry to you, I just wanted you to relieve me, but I didn't know that it was self-defeating and really sent you into this pit. ”

Seeing that he was so guilty, Xiao Yezi's heart softened, and he said softly and comfortingly: "Don't say that." Originally, I also selfishly wanted to come to Lingyan to take office, and helping you fill up the number was just a matter of taking advantage of the trend. If you have a knot because of this, then I will be even more embarrassed. ”

Yang Yizhao sighed: "You are too naïve, you think I really don't know anything?" But have you ever thought that Shangling Smoke is not for you? …… Forget it, the wood is ready. Maybe that's fate. I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities for us to meet privately in the future, I think about it, there are some secrets of the Heavenly King Gang, although it is inconvenient to talk about it, but I think it is still necessary to inform you. FYI. ”

Xiao Yezi nodded obediently: "You say." ”

Yang Yizhao looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then led Xiao Yezi to a secret place to ensure that no one was tracking, and then he told the story.

"During the training of the alternate attendants, I think you should know that the Tianwang Gang is in Zhaoyin, although it is nominally a Jianghu gang, but it is actually controlled by the Zhaoyin Imperial Court, which is equivalent to an extremely large military force of the Imperial Court's Preparatory Army. It could even be said at one time that the imperial court's army was equal to the Heavenly King Gang. ”

"Li Yue's descendants founded Cloud City, which is the predecessor of the Tianwang Gang, and its main purpose is to fight against Yan Jin. Later, in order to assist the Zhaoyin court in ruling and expanding its military and economic strength, it was necessary to absorb more classes as allies. This is the addition of the Creation Building, the Fengrui Camp and the Liren Pavilion. The four gangs formed an alliance, which led to the existence of the Tianwang Gang. In addition to the gang leader appointed by the Zhaoyin court, the leaders of the four gangs were crowned by Zhaoyin as the four heavenly kings of the east, west, north and south. In order to maintain the Heavenly Kings Gang steadily, the gang rules stipulate that among the four heavenly kings who have been sealed, one must be the next gang leader. ”

"Out of the need to supervise the Heavenly King, ensure the normal internal operation of the Heavenly King Gang, and assist the gang leader in managing the affairs of the whole gang, the first gang leader specially set up two institutions, the Sword Holding Palace and Shang Lingyan. The Sword Holding Palace presides over the legal affairs of the Gangzhong, and anyone in the Gang who violates the laws of the Gangzhong will be handed over to the Ten Musketeers to deal with. Shanglingyan is a place for the gang leader to rest and deal with the government affairs of the gang and meet with foreign guests. The Ten Servants are a façade organ that is stationed in Shanglingyan and assists the helper in his daily life and government affairs. ”

"Every institution has a leader, and the Ten Musketeers and the Ten Servants are no exception. The first of the Ten Musketeers and the Ten Attendants, known as the Sword Messenger and the Lantern Messenger respectively, is also the leader of the Ten Musketeers and the Ten Attendants. Who holds this position, it is clearly written in the gang rules, and it needs to be determined by the gang leader. ”

"Whether it is the Ten Swordsmen or the Ten Servants, the composition of these two organs is not the final decision of the helper, but is jointly formulated by the Four Heavenly Kings. According to the needs of the gang and the current situation of the talents of the subordinate rudders, the kings respectively recommended candidates and carried out unified selection. Due to the different strengths and status of the four rudders, the proportion of the talents recommended for the final position is also different. ”

"At the beginning, among the ten people, Cloud City accounted for four, and the Creation Building, Fengrui Camp, and Liren Pavilion accounted for two. However, in recent years, the development of the four rudders has been uneven, and the proportion of incumbents has also changed. It has become the status quo of Cloud City, Genesis Building, and Fengrui Camp each accounting for three, and Liren Pavilion accounting for one. ”

"According to the gang rules, the selection of swordsmen or close servants is the responsibility of the four heavenly kings. The helper can participate or not, but the principle of consultation between the four heavenly kings has always been strong. Until a few years ago, the Xiao Gang Leader received strong support from the main battle faction in the Zhaoyin court, and he was in the limelight for a while. So, for the first time, he broke this tradition of selection. ”

Xiao Yezi was stunned: "How did you break it?" ”

Yang Yizhao said: "He crossed the Four Heavenly Kings and appointed a girl named Jing Ying as his personal attendant. Soon, Jing Ying was exceptionally promoted by the Xiao gang leader and became a messenger of the lamp who was in the limelight for a while. This girl named Jing Ying is not a lady, on the contrary, she is a poor girl who has no support, she has not been in the gang for a long time, has no power or power, and has no outstanding achievements. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yezi's mood suddenly became very low, she hid it, and said with a smile: "Presumably she is very beautiful, or has some different talents." ”

Yang Yizhao continued to narrate: "It's not beautiful, it's just that the eyebrows and eyes are clear and the smile is innocent. Her performance in political affairs was mediocre, but after succeeding Fengdeng, she was conscientious and meticulous, and she really took Xiao Gang Leader as the first. At this moment, rumors suddenly spread, all rumors were rumored that the relationship between Jing Ying and Xiao Gang Leader was extraordinary. As for how unusual, there is no evidence from anyone. But in the eyes of everyone, these two people are already untidy and messy. ”

Xiao Yezi's expression on his face was a little stiff, and he forced a smile: "Then, what does Sister Mei think?" ”

Sister Mei naturally didn't say anything, she also spoke openly for the Xiao Gang Master, and she would never believe that there was such a thing. At the same time, she and Jing Ying are very close, almost like sisters. A year after serving as Fengdeng, Jing Ying was infected with a malaise without knowing it, and after several months, he finally ran out of oil and dried up. When Jing Ying was dying, Xiao Gang Leader accompanied her alone for the last night. On the second day, Xiao Gang Leader personally buried Jing Ying in water, and found skilled craftsmen to fill in a small island in the place where Jing Ying was buried, and planted Jing Ying's favorite Xiangfei bamboo all over to show his reward and commemoration of Jing Ying. Since Jing Ying left, in the past year, the Xiao Gang Leader has never chosen a lantern messenger from the close attendants. A while ago, a close attendant passed away in the process of doing business because he touched on an old illness for many years, and the medicine was difficult to treat. The helper planned to choose a close attendant to fill this vacancy, and the Four Heavenly Kings prepared for a long time. Who knows... I don't know..."

When Xiao Yezi heard this, his heart was already cold, and he only smiled: "How do you know that he specially left me?" ”

Yang Yizhao sighed: "Supposedly, I shouldn't say this, but if I don't say it, I'm ...... In short, you are careful. Is there anything I can do to help, just come to me. Got it? ”

Xiao Yezi smiled, but his heart was quite complicated. Yang Yizhao's move made her grateful and a little at a loss, knowing that he cared, but she didn't want to listen to these words, so she had to say: "Thank you for saying so much, no matter what happens, since I decided to stay, everything will be borne by myself." It's getting late, I'm going back. ”

After that, Xiao Yezi stood up and ran back to the residence as if flying, but he didn't take the rose. This Yang Yizhao, didn't you hear that he had a good relationship with Gang Leader Xiao, why did he tell me these things behind Yunxi's back? And Yunxi, does he know what his men are saying about him behind his back? Why did Yunxi promote me to be a close attendant, is it really like Yang Yizhao said? All kinds of questions came one after another, making Xiao Yezi's brain swell for a moment, and it was difficult to sort out. She threw herself on the bed, grabbed a pillow to cover her face, and screamed muffledly.

In the evening, Ling Xuan accompanied her to dinner, taught her some work, and left some homework for Xiao Yezi to review, so she went to wait for Yunxi. Xiao Yezi sat on the edge of the bed alone, looking at the moon outside the window, feeling lonely for the first time. Li Li, Li Li, where are you? Are you okay now? I always thought that if I established myself in the Heavenly King Gang, I would have the ability to go to you. But now it seems that it is not as easy as imagined. If you're next to me, I'm afraid you'll laugh at me again. But as long as I can find you, these are small things, and I can go on.

Thinking of Li Li, she suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, as if she had a reason to bear it. She got up silently, walked around the house a few times, found tea leaves from the cabinet, and wanted to make some tea to drink. Lingxuan serves the helper all year round, and all kinds of tea are naturally prepared. Xiao Yezi didn't care about any famous tea, so he just found a small bag of the most ordinary tea leaves, put them in his purse, and prepared to go outside the house to boil water to make tea. She had just walked to the door when she suddenly saw a figure flash outside. Confused, she pushed open the door and followed. The person in front of him didn't walk fast, as if he was deliberately waiting for her, as if he was afraid that she would lose it. This made Xiao Yezi even more confused, and his footsteps became faster and faster. The figures kept walking, and the routes were complicated, like a labyrinth. When he walked into a dense forest, the figure suddenly disappeared into the darkness ahead. She stopped, looked back, and saw that she was no longer where she had come. It seems that this figure knows his own details, and he is well aware that he is not familiar with the surrounding terrain, but he knows everything about the grass and trees here. It seems to be the one who is on the smoke.

"Come out!" She said coldly, "It's hard to lead me here, and you don't show up, isn't it a loss?" ”
