Chapter 41: Joy

Drizzle, forest paths.

Two figures, holding oil-paper umbrellas in their hands, one in front of the other, are heading towards the top of the mountain at this time.

"We sneaked out."

"What if my father knew?"

The petite figure raised her head and asked him. There was a little worry on her little face.

"It's okay, the teacher entered the palace to discuss politics, and he won't come back for a while."

"As long as you don't say it, I won't say it."

"The teacher will definitely not know."

"There's no need to worry too much."

He reached out and gently rubbed her head, and said to her with a little doting.

The light rain suddenly stopped, and the sun shone through the clouds.

At the top of the mountain, the trees are shady and the flowers are blooming. The beautiful scenery is breathtaking.

Two figures, standing on the cliff, looked into the distance.

Above the cascading sea of clouds, a seven-colored rainbow hangs, which is blooming its alluring appearance.

"It's so beautiful!"

The petite figure shouted loudly, and her eyes looked very greedy.

Such a beautiful view, even if you are a little exhausted when you climb up, it is well worth it.

Looking at her beside him, with such a satisfied look, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he smiled faintly.

It's nice to be carefree!

Jinling Fengqi Pavilion, Wanwan boudoir.

"Whew."

Wanwan gently put down the letter in her hand, and her gaze gradually began to become a little cold.

There weren't many people left in her life.

However, the contents of the letter were very worrying to her.

"Missing?"

Where exactly did he go? What's going on?

She stretched out her hand, lifted the brush on the desk, and frowned and wrote a few words on the paper. When you're done, fold the paper and take out the envelope and put it in.

"Cherry."

Wanwan got up and suddenly shouted loudly towards the door.

"Young master, what's the matter?"

Cherry pushed the door open and asked her. She felt a little strange in her heart, why was the young master's face so ugly?

"Send someone to deliver this letter to Lin'an as soon as possible."

"It has to be fast."

Wanwan handed the letter to Cherry and said solemnly to her.

"Understood."

Cherry reached out and took the letter from her hand, nodding her head in agreement.

"Young master, are you alright?"

Looking at Wanwan's face, Cherry was a little worried, but still blurted out to her.

"Nothing."

"Let's go quickly."

Wanwan shook her head slightly, but didn't say anything more to her.

"Okay."

Seeing Wanwan didn't say anything, Cherry didn't ask any more. She turned and walked towards the door.

"There are always some clues."

There was a slight chill on her face.

On the fifth day of December, Lin'an City, the weather is getting cooler.

Today's Ye Mansion is particularly lively. At the entrance, all kinds of luxury carriages are parked. The people who came, dressed in brocade clothes and wrapped jade belts around their waists, were all either rich or expensive.

"Yo, the villain has seen Liu Shilang."

"Liu Shilang can come, and the Ye Mansion is shining."

At the door, the butler is greeting guests. When he saw the comer, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted him.

"Lord Ye has a banquet, how dare I not come."

Liu Shilang waved his hand slightly, and the entourage behind him hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the gifts he had brought this time.

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

"Please also ask Liu Shilang to move, my master is in the hall at the moment."

The housekeeper said to him, and gave others another look, signaling him to lead Liu Shilang forward.

There was an endless stream of visitors, and the Yefu Hall was already overcrowded.

Ye Kongshan, who was dressed in brocade, was full of spring breeze. His smile was on his face all the time. Wandering among the guests, his heart was full of pride.

Promotion and wealth, that's it.

*

At this moment, Fengqi Pavilion Lin'an Branch.

Mother Wu was holding a letter that had just arrived from Jinling.

The handwriting on the letter paper can be recognized at a glance as Wanwan's own handwriting.

The letter contained only a few words.

A person's name, and a killing word.

Although the handwriting is very small, the paper is full of endless chill, terrifying and murderous.

"Young master, it seems that you have really grown up."

Mother Wu put down the letter in her hand and smiled slightly. The expression on her face looked very satisfied and gratified.

The young master already has her mind and her decision, which is an excellent thing for Fengqi Pavilion.

"Go and call Narcissus."

Mother Wu turned her head and whispered to the maid who was serving her.

"Yes."

The maid nodded lightly and hurriedly withdrew.

Moment.

"Mother Wu, what did you call me to come for?"

Narcissus in a white dress has a variety of charms, and there are autumn waves in her eyes. After entering the room, he opened his mouth and asked Wu's mother.

"Whoa."

"Letter from the young master."

Mother Wu stretched out her hand, handed the letter to Narcissus, and motioned for her to read it first.

"Yekong Mountain."

"Kill."

Narcissus stretched out his hand to take the letter, just a few words, it can be swept at a glance, and the slightest chill on the paper is continuous.

"Are you sure?"

Mother Wu said lightly and asked her.

"No problem."

Hearing this, Narcissus thought for a few breaths, and then nodded slightly.

"That's fine."

"Go ahead."

Mother Wu nodded lightly, there is no problem, that is, there is really no problem.

"Narcissus retires."

Back in her boudoir, Narcissus picked up the dagger under her pillow, took out the silk handkerchief and wiped it seriously.

The dagger that was more than half a foot long, and the black light that glowed was chilling.

"Yekong Mountain."

*

"Congratulations to Brother Ye for going one step further."

"The position of the Admiral of the Nine Gates is where the gate of Lin'an City is located, so it can be seen how much the Holy Lord trusts Brother Ye."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

On the wine table, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, there was a sound of compliments everywhere.

Not long after the holy decree was issued, Ye Kongshan made great achievements and was finally able to get his wish. The position of Admiral of the Nine Gates has been taken into his pocket.

The Ye family in Jiangnan once again showed its horror and its glory.

"Where, where."

"They all rely on the trust of the Holy One."

"Ye Kong Mountain, always loyal to the saint."

"We must protect the nine gates of Lin'an."

He raised his glass in the air, saluted in the direction of the palace, and then drank all the wine in the cup.

"Happy."

*

At midnight, the banquet had dispersed.

With a drunk, excited, and smug face, Ye Kongshan staggered towards the place where his concubine lived.

"Master, why do you drink so much?"

"Hurry up and drink this bowl of decanting soup."

The concubine looked concerned and complained to him.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Sir, I'm very happy today."

Ye Kongshan took her into his arms and said to him with a smile.

Under the moonlight, a black figure could be faintly seen, shuttling through the eaves of the Ye Mansion at this time.

"Huh."

"Ugh."

The dagger fell, very clean, and the few guards at the door did not react at all, and they slowly fell backwards.

"Yekong Mountain."

A black figure suddenly appeared in the room, with a hoarse voice, unable to distinguish between men and women.

Looking at the people who came, Ye Kongshan was full of alcohol, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Ahh

The concubine seemed to be frightened, and was about to open her mouth to shout. However, the black shadow came in an instant, and a light palm hit her neck, causing her to faint in the blink of an eye.

"You, you, who are you?"

Ye Kongshan's face turned pale with fright, and at this moment, he was already a lot more sober. If you come to visit in the middle of the night, you will definitely not be good.

"The one who takes your life."

As he spoke, the shadow drew the dagger in his hand and walked slowly towards him.

"Wait."

"Ye and Your Excellency, there was no grudge in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future."

"Did you find the wrong person?"

Ye Kongshan panicked and hurriedly spoke to her.

"You can't go wrong."

"Even if it's wrong, so what's the matter?"

The shadow let out a chuckle and quickly dodged out. The dagger in his hand, under the light of the candle flame, drew a cold light, and disappeared in a flash.

The black shadow turned back faintly, but he didn't look at him again, and then he took the door.

With an easy jump, the shadow was already on the roof.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the night.

"Check, check for me."

"Bastard, bastard."

Emperor Wen of Chu's face was full of anger, and he yelled at the person who was kneeling in front of him.

"Yes."

Luan Yiwei commanded Zhao Ming, with cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

Who is it, who has come and gone without a trace?

Who is it that dares to provoke Tianwei?

Emperor Chu Wen frowned slightly, and the murderous intent in his heart was rampant.

Such a mysterious force is hidden in Lin'an City.

If he didn't find out, he would have no peace of mind.

What is the picture?
