Just thinking about it, I saw Fang Yueshen walking in in a plain skirt, with only a white hosta inserted in her black hair, and a pale face without powder. Only to hear a "plop", she suddenly knelt at the bottom of the steps.

"Sister Fang, what are you doing here?" Zong Zhengjin hurriedly got up and walked down, wanting to help her up, but was rejected by Fang Yueshen. I only heard her hoarse voice say: "Princess, Yue Shen is guilty, you just let me kneel."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were stunned, what crime did she commit?

"Sister Fang, what's your crime?"

"Princess, the reason why those people were able to find the Guixian Garden is because ...... Because...... I divulged the truth. Fang Yueshen burst into tears when she said this, at first she really didn't want to believe that all this was true, but the piece of jade Jue told her that all this was so cruel that she couldn't escape the condemnation of her conscience, so she came over to ask for guilt.

"What did you say?" The three of them were taken aback, Zong Zhengjin looked at her in disbelief, the hand that wanted to pull her up was slowly lowered, and her voice became extremely cold: "You say it again."

"Princess, I really didn't know he was an assassin, and I didn't expect to be deceived by him, I, I didn't mean to." While shaking his head and shedding tears, the painful expression on his face made people feel distressed to see.

"What do you mean you were deceived by him, what the hell is going on?" Zong Zhengmin was anxious and asked angrily.

Zong Zhengjin walked to the main seat and sat down, looking at Fang Yueshen with a cold face, with irrepressible anger in his heart. Originally, her plan could have succeeded, but it was ruined because of Fang Yueshen, and more importantly, Yi Chu was injured because of this, which was the most unforgivable thing for her.

Fang Yueshen gently wiped away the tears on his face, then raised his head, and his lips opened slightly: "Yesterday's assassin leader is called Ji Chenglin, and I had an initial ...... with him three months ago" Fang Yueshen told everything that had happened in the past three months.

After listening to this story, several people were silent, it seems that this matter is not all Fang Yueshen's fault, on the contrary, she is also a victim. It's just that Zong Zhengjin's anger has not dissipated because of this, and she will not let that person go.

"Yesterday's group of assassins were all masked, how do you know it's him?" Tang Yi raised her own question, how did she recognize that person?

Hearing this, Fang Yueshen took out a piece of jade from his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "This is what fell from the leading assassin yesterday...... This is a gift from me. When she picked up this piece of jade, her heart seemed to be grabbed by a hand, she couldn't breathe, she couldn't believe that he was an assassin, and when she remembered that she had told him about Gui Xianyuan, her heart instantly fell into the ice valley. Because of her children's affection, she lured the wolf into the house, killed her mother, and seriously injured her father, she felt that she was a sinner, and the guilt and despair made her not even have the strength to cry, but she didn't want to carry such guilt for the rest of her life, so she confessed to the princess.

"Do you know where he is? I'm going to get him back. Tang Yi continued to ask.

Hearing this, Fang Yueshen suddenly kowtowed to Zong Zhengjin again, and begged: "Princess, I don't expect you to forgive me, I just hope that you can give me a chance to make up for my mistakes and let me personally arrest him."

"How's that going to work? You have affection for him, what if you let him go?" Jong Jung-min immediately spoke out against it, he didn't believe this woman at all.

"Princess, my Fang Yueshen is definitely not a person who wants to give up righteousness for personal feelings, he deceived me first, killed my mother and hurt my father later, I can't let him go." When she said this, Fang Yueshen's eyes were full of hatred, and now, she just wanted to execute him with her own hands.

For a while, no one spoke in the hall, and after a long time, Zong Zhengjin spoke: "Okay, I'll give you a chance, in three days, I want to see his corpse, if you can't do it, even if you are the daughter of Fang Junen, this princess will not spare you." Zong Zhengjin's face was cold, she would never allow anyone who hurt Yi Chu, and she could still live comfortably.

Fang Yueshen was shocked, and then replied firmly: "Princess Xie, in three days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory result...... The moon sank and retired. Zong Zhengjin nodded, and Fang Yueshen immediately got up and walked out of the hall.

"Sister Huang, do you really believe her?" Jong Jung-min was angry, this woman was not worth believing.

"Don't believe it!"

"Huh? Then why did you let her go? Jong Jung-min didn't understand it even more.

"But I believe in her hatred, which is enough for her to kill the man." Zong Zhengjin didn't know what she was thinking in her eyes, she wasn't worried that Fang Yueshen would lose her trust at all.

Zong Zhengmin still didn't understand what his imperial sister meant, Tang Yi on the side raised his lips and smiled, his eyes were full of appreciation, Zong Zhengjin's ability now is not what it used to be, and the problem is more unfathomable, he is really secretly glad that he followed the right master.

went to visit Yi Chu in the evening, and Zong Zhengjin told him about it, and Yi Chu also agreed with her approach.

"By the way, sir, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." Zong Zhengjin suddenly sat next to him, staring straight at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"What?"

"After this incident, I feel that my strength is too weak, the royal capital is trying its best to take my life, and the defenders of Yangcheng are difficult to fight, so I want to cultivate my own private army."

"Private army?" Yi Chu was stunned, he didn't expect that she had already thought of this, and he was still thinking of mentioning this matter to her one day.

"Yes, according to the law of the Beicang Kingdom, canonized princes and nobles can have their own private army, up to five thousand people."

"yes, that's right, so what are you going to do?" Seeing that Zong Zhengjin looked confident, Yi Chu knew that she must have a good idea.

Zong Zhengjin stood up with the momentum, and said with a confident face: "The so-called soldiers are more valuable than many, with my current ability, I can train a maximum of three hundred people, so I want to cultivate these three hundred people into soldiers with one enemy and one hundred, rather than ordinary guards, and these people must absolutely obey my orders."

"Well, that's a good idea." Yi Chu nodded, "But according to what you said, these people must go through the rigorous training of the army in order to achieve the effect you want." ”

"Yes, so, sir, can you help me train them?" Zong Zhengjin looked at him with pleading eyes, but Yi Chu shook his head and said: "I can't, my division is out of Xuanji Pavilion, it's okay for you to let me be a military advisor, I'm not proficient in military affairs, if I train, I'm afraid I won't be able to achieve results."

Hearing this, Zong Zhengjin's little face immediately collapsed, if Yi Chu couldn't do it, then she really couldn't think of anyone else who could take on this heavy responsibility.

"However, there is one person who can, so I don't know if he is willing or not?" Yi Chu said suddenly.

Zong Zhengjin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked who it was. Yi Chu's thin lips opened slightly, and said: "Xie Baixun, General Xie, he has made great achievements in his life, and he can be described as a god in the battlefield, his army is well-disciplined, and he is a well-known iron army."

"Old General Xie? Didn't he retire to the court?" Zong Zhengjin vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen the old general when he was a child, but when she was four years old, he had already resigned and gone into hiding.

"Now, he lives in seclusion in Bai Ze County." Yi Chu responded lightly, he also learned the news by accident, at that time he felt that God could arrange things so coincidentally, if he could get Xie Baixun's help, it would be like a tiger for Ah Jin.

"Huh? Then let's visit him. Zong Zhengjin felt that all this was really providential, and without further ado, he should visit him immediately.

"But he is a very strange person, if you go to invite him, he may not be willing to help you, and this matter still needs to be scheming." Yi Chu frowned, the more capable a person is, the more eccentric his personality is.

"What can you do then?" Zong Zhengjin felt that Yi Chu must have a countermeasure.

"I've heard that he loves to play chess, so you can play from that." When Yi Chu arrived, Zong Zhengjin immediately understood, and he was already thinking about what to do.

Seeing Yi Chu's leisurely appearance, Zong Zhengjin couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how do you know so much about the people and things in Yangzhou?"

Yi Chu didn't expect her to ask such a question, and was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although I am not in Xuanji Pavilion, many disciples in the sect are still helping me, and they helped me investigate the affairs of Yangzhou."

"Oh." Although he thought of this possibility, he heard him say with his own ears, Zong Zhengjin's heart was still warm, which showed that Yi Chu trusted her and didn't treat her as an outsider.

After the two chatted for a while, Zong Zhengjin went back to his house. The next day, because Yi Chu's injuries were almost healed, the group packed up their things and went back to the princess's mansion.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Yi Chu sent the books about all the deeds of Xie Baixun to the Xixiang Courtyard, Zong Zhengjin looked at the two piles of books, and suddenly his head was big, this Xie Baixun is also too powerful, there are so many books that record his deeds, it seems that she really has to study it carefully, if she can't take Xie Baixun in one fell swoop, then she will read so many books in vain.

......

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, only the stumps and broken leaves were left on the lotus side, and looking at the scene of the pond falling and depressed, a sense of sadness arose.

Fang Yueshen sat in the gazebo in a long white dress, and her slender jade fingers unintentionally fiddled with the teapot on the table, as if she was waiting for someone. The sky was getting darker, and it looked like it was going to rain again. Sure enough, after a while, the raindrops fell on the surface of the pool, and the people waiting for Fang Yueshen finally came.

Ji Chenglin looked at Fang Yueshen in a daze for a long time before slowly walking across from her and sitting down. The expression on his face was extremely complicated, and he wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Fang Yueshen raised her head suddenly, her tone was flat, but the indifference in her eyes pierced Ji Chenglin's heart.

"Didn't I come when you looked for me?" Ji Chenglin wanted to say this with a smile, but he couldn't laugh at all.

Fang Yueshen smiled sarcastically when she heard this, and said, "Every time you meet me, you have to work so hard to act, you are tired."

"The moon sinks, I ......" He had nothing to say.

"Why don't you say it? Can't you come up with a better excuse to deceive me, or are you too lazy to deceive me?" Fang Yueshen looked at him coldly.

"Moon Sinking...... I'm sorry. In the end, all he could say was that.

"Excuse me?" Fang Yueshen stood up suddenly, her eyes full of anger, "You turned my Fang Yueshen around, causing my mother to die tragically and my father to be seriously injured, and finally only say sorry?" Heh, Ji Chenglin, are you really so stupid and dull to me?" Fang Yueshen spoke louder and louder, and tears appeared in her eyes.

"Yue Shen, I didn't want to lie to you, you and I are our own masters, I ...... This has to be done!" In the end, he didn't have the courage to look at her.

With a "bang", Fang Yueshen suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and hit Ji Chenglin's neck, Ji Chenglin's body trembled, only to hear Fang Yueshen say: "Each for its master?" So, from the very beginning, you were deceiving me, and what you said was also designed, and only I stupidly thought it was true. ”

Ji Chenglin sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and said, "I know you won't believe anything you say now, if killing me can make you feel at ease, then you can do it."

Fang Yueshen looked at him as if he was at home, his heart was even more angry, and the strength in his hand also increased a little, and a blood mark immediately appeared on Ji Chenglin's neck, and blood beads dripped down the dagger.

"Do you think I won't dare kill you?" Fang Yueshen said fiercely. Ji Chenglin smiled bitterly and said, "You don't dare to do anything."

"Yes, I'm Fang Yueshen, what don't I dare." Fang Yueshen narrowed her eyes slightly, bit her lip tightly, and her trembling right hand slashed, and in an instant, blood stained her plain skirt red.

only heard a "clang", the dagger fell to the ground, Ji Chenglin also fell to the table, Fang Yueshen didn't even look at it, turned around and was about to leave.

"The moon sinks." A faint call sounded behind him, and the corners of Ji Chenglin's mouth were already overflowing with blood, he looked at Fang Yueshen's back, and said with difficulty: "Although." I deceived you, but ...... The first encounter on the lotus bank was not deliberately designed by me, and those words were not false, you ...... Can you believe it?"

I don't know how long it took, there was no sound behind her, Fang Yueshen didn't turn her head from beginning to end, the lotus pond in the rain was unusually cold, her head full of green silk flew up with the wind, and a tear slipped silently from the corner of her eye. She slowly walked into the rain, letting the rain drench her body, thunder rang out one after another, lightning swept across the pavilion, and the green jade on the stone table was stained with blood, looking extremely bewitching.

"Our encounter was a false start." Fang Yue smiled desolately, and the water droplets on her face couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain.

Fang Yueshen knew that on this lotus bank, I am afraid that there will be no more gorgeous lotus flowers from now on.
