That familiar face turned out to be the appearance of Xiao Xin's daughter-in-law Zhou Qian.

I saw that her cold face was full of ridicule and ridicule, which was very different from the usual submissive appearance in front of her.

Yue Shi suddenly felt terrified, and said in a lost voice: "You have been lurking in our house for so many years? What about Xin'er? Does he know who you are? ”

"Of course Xianggong doesn't know, if you hadn't hung up the lantern token summoning, I wouldn't have met you. Unexpectedly, you have kept this lantern for more than 30 years? I haven't thrown it yet, it seems that you knew it back then. ”

Zhou Qian looked at Yue's eyes, and was amazed by the eyes, which made Yue's ashamed and angry.

More than 30 years ago, under the coercion and temptation of the Jurchens, Yue's father, Yue Peng, the original left pioneer, rebelled. Yue Peng betrayed a large amount of military intelligence at Shanhaiguan, so the Jurchens drove straight into Shanhaiguan and almost captured Shanhaiguan.

Later, Yue Peng and the Jurchens agreed to use the safety of Duan Huan, another pioneer general at that time, to lure Xiao Jing out of the customs to rescue him, and waited for the opportunity to kill Xiao Jing, and Shanhaiguan was self-defeating.

Xiao Jing was in the middle of the plan, and when he arrived at the customs, Duan Huan had already been killed by an arrow.

The position where Duan Huan's body was placed was exactly within the range of the Jurchen Divine Archer. But in the end, Yue Peng blocked three arrows in a row and saved Xiao Jing's life.

Therefore, Xiao Jingcai was very different from Yue Rong, and there was a later story.

The Yue clan was speechless, because her whole person was still in shock, and the Jurchen refinement was actually in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion! If it weren't for Zhou Qian's appearance today, no one would have thought that the second young lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion would be a fine work sent by the Jurchens.

Zhou Qian saw that the Yue family didn't speak for a long time, and said impatiently: "If you have something, just say that this lantern is broken, and there will be no chance to contact you again in the future." ”

Yue Shi forced himself to calm down and said, "I want Yan Ruxun, Xiao Jing, and Xiao Yao to die!" ”

"It's ruthless, if they die, what's in it for me?"

Zhou Qian wanted to see what price the Yue family could offer, it was impossible for her to let herself kill in vain, so she just sat back and enjoyed it.

Yue's original conditions that he had calculated countless times in his heart, in front of Xiao Xin's daughter-in-law, it was really difficult to speak. She gritted her teeth and held back her shame and said, "What do you want?" ”

Zhou Qian clasped her hands in front of her chest and sneered: "I want Shanhaiguan." ”

Yue flatly refused: "Impossible! ”

"Impossible, what token are you hanging? If you want the horses to run and don't give the horses grazing, where is there such a cheap thing? ”

Zhou Qian was unceremonious, and counted coldly.

Yue explained: "Shanhaiguan is Lei'er's, and it is impossible to give it to you. But I can let him reopen trade with the Jurchens, or I can let others die. For example, other generals, even the king of Bei'an can also be. ”

Zhou Qian's heart moved slightly, but there was still a look of disdain on her face.

"If we can kill Xiao Jing, we can naturally kill the king of Bei'an County at any time. If you don't want to give up Shanhaiguan, you can just kill someone. ”

Yue's family was puzzled: "I am now grounded here, who can I kill?" ”

"I don't care about this, you have been in charge for so many years, even Xiao An can be rebelled by you, let alone killing someone."

Zhou Qian's words were categorical, and there seemed to be no room for maneuver. Yue had no choice but to say, "Then who do you want me to kill?" ”

"Mingzhu County Gu Fanghua."

Hearing Zhou Qian mention the lord of Mingzhu, the Yue family hated Gu Fanghua's arrogance.

However, she still hesitated: "The county lord of Mingzhu has no kung fu, it is easy for you to kill her, why should I do it?" ”

"Gu Fanghua is surrounded by masters, and our people can't approach it at all. Only if you are familiar with the backhouse routines and have enough manpower to kill people invisibly. ”

Zhou Qian's explanation, Yue didn't believe it very much, but in comparison, it was much easier to kill Gu Fanghua.

"Okay, Gu Fanghua, I can think of a way, then you also have to show sincerity. In the future, we will be grasshoppers on a rope, and everyone will vote for it, so we are not afraid of who will regret it. ”

Zhou Qian looked at Yue Shi with a sarcastic look in her eyes, and still agreed for a while: "Tomorrow, you can see my sincerity." ”

Yue's expression was complicated, and he also said: "I will arrange for Gu Fanghua to die unexpectedly as soon as possible, and you should also do it as soon as possible." Xiao Jing can make the last move, I want him to lose his old mother and son, taste the pain and then die. ”

"In the future, I will have someone send something over, you look carefully, there will be a hint inside."

After Zhou Qian finished speaking, she turned around and left, she wanted to leave as soon as possible, dressed as her bathing maid, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to last long.

Yue Shi was lying on the bed, her eyes were blankly looking at the golden flowers on the top of her head blooming a rich mosquito net, and the golden hooks hanging at both ends, swinging one after another, like her heart.

I don't know how long it took, but the Yue family fell into a deep sleep.

In her dream, she seemed to be walking in a fog, she couldn't find a way out, and she was terrified when she ran around.

The words of his father came from his ears, and he suddenly came from afar and near, "Ah Rong, Ah Rong ......".

Yue Shi tried his best, ran towards his father's voice, and shouted loudly: "Dad, I'm Ah Rong, Dad!" Where are you? ”

Running and running, the fog dissipated, and Yue suddenly saw that his father was not far away, he was standing in front of the window, looking at the girl in front of him melancholy.

It's my younger self.

"Ah Rong, dad can't stand you. Dad didn't know that the woman was a Jurchen worker, one wrong step, one wrong step. If it is known, the defense map of Shanhaiguan is leaked by me, and you will not survive. ”

Yue Shi looked at himself when he was young, grabbed his father's hand in horror, and shook it vigorously: "Dad, are you a fine worker?" ”

Yue Peng's face was full of shame, he lowered his head and covered his face and said, "Ah Rong, I can't help it." They threatened me that if I didn't take the defense map, they would tell Master Hou. ”

"Dad, isn't Master Hou the most convinced of you? We go to him, tell him that you have a hard time, and ask him for forgiveness. ”

Yue Rong's first reaction was to confess, Yue Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Ah Rong, in this case, even if Master Hou is willing to forgive me, so many soldiers who died in battle will not forgive me." Ah Rong, do you like Hou Ye? ”

Yue Peng's sudden question made Yue Rong blush.

The father and daughter have relied on each other for many years, and now is not the time to twist, Yue Rong said generously: "Yes, I like Master Hou." It's just that the old lady doesn't seem to like me, she likes the pretentious young lady. ”

"Even if the old lady doesn't like you, do you want to marry Master Hou?"

"Yes! Among so many men, only Hou Ye is a real man, if I can't marry him, I'd rather never marry for life! ”

Yue Peng looked at his daughter's serious face, and finally made up his mind and ordered: "Ah Rong, in your mother's box, there is an octagonal red lantern. It is a token given to me by the Jurchen Great Khan, with this token, you can ask him for help in the future. ”

"Dad, what are you going to do?"

"I don't do anything, I received news that tomorrow the Jurchens will ambush Hou Ye, and I will escort him back safe and sound."
