"Go to Dongtu, where you may find the answer and take them with you."

Dongtu, where? Why is there the answer I am looking for, she wants to ask but can't see him, dead old man, running fast enough, I think I can only do what he says.

"Who are you?" The two people in Sanniang's room looked at each other, Zhang Xinyi smiled lightly, this face, this demeanor is more and more like him. She said: "I am a good friend of Sanniang. ”

"You are also a whale, do you whales all look the same after transforming into humans?"

Zhang Xinyi disagreed with his words: "I'm not a whale, I'm a destined person." ”

"Forget it, it's useless for me to know these things." You Xu touched Sanniang's forehead, why hasn't he woken up yet, nothing will happen, right? He sniffed, and there was, so why.

"Don't worry, she was frightened too much today, maybe she was tired and fell asleep, you go out first, let me stay here with her." Zhang Xinyi didn't seem to have any feelings for him, only a hint of familiarity, and he didn't have to worry about getting along with Sanniang awkwardly. Seeing that she had no malicious intent, You Xu nodded and pushed open the door and went out.

He was going to go to his father, and it would be better to make some things clear. "Come in, see you've been wandering outside for a long time." His father's voice came from inside the house, and You Xu gritted his teeth and walked in.

"Father, tell me about it, I want to know in detail."

You Qi knew that he would ask, but he didn't hesitate, and said slowly: "That lord said that you only have a remnant soul, so it led to stupidity, and then relied on the power of life change, of course, it was not me who started it, it was that person who made me see the power of life change." ”

"At what cost?"

"The whaling relic, the whale's eye. There is no other way to save you, and you will know what happened next. ”

You Xu's eyes are complicated, he has seen the whale eye in "Whale Change", that thing is not an ordinary whale's eye, it needs to be the eye of a thousand years of whale, and the whale must be given voluntarily, otherwise it will not be kept for long. Therefore, it is extremely rare, and their family is fortunate to have the inheritance of the whale's eye, but it is a holy relic, how can they give it away?

If you are stupid in your life, it will not be a problem, then your mother will not return to the Cullinan, and your father will not make a big mistake.

Yuqi patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, you can see that woman?" Yu Xu nodded.

"I told you to be careful of her that time, not for nothing, you ...... Let's go to Dongtu together. ”

"Why?"

"Everything you want to know can be found, if there is danger, crush this whale ball, and I will summon the whale spirit to help you, there is only one chance." Yuqi paused, "Be careful. ”

You Xu took the ball, which was pale blue in color, empty inside, and could be deformed with a slight pinch, showing the degree of vulnerability.

"Do you want me to go?"

"Go ahead."

Yuxu nodded.

The next day, Sanniang was dragged on the way to Dongtu as soon as she woke up, Sanniang was more confused, she felt that everything was different when she woke up, such as the current scene.

"I'm going to drive, you girl can't show your head outside."

"Eh, who said it, the saint may not be wrong, my driving skills are acceptable, and it is more than enough to take you on the road."

"No, no, no, I'll come, Miss Zhang, I'm afraid you're not familiar with us here, and it's not good to take the wrong path."

"Well, I just want to give it a try, and since you insist, I won't force it, but can you give it to me on the way?"

"Of course."

The two of them were polite and a little close, a little weird in Sanniang's eyes, and even a little uncomfortable in their hearts, which was a feeling of being ignored.

Zhang Xinyi got into the car, and Sanniang moved a little to the side. "Are you feeling better?" Sanniang didn't look at her eyes: "Sanniang is fine." Zhang Xinyi noticed that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it, thinking it was "sequelae".

The carriage drove very fast, and left Whale Town at once, and the road around it became very narrow, because the people in the town hardly went out, and only a few outsiders came in, so the road was overgrown with weeds, like a country road that had long been abandoned.

Sanniang and Zhang Xinyi didn't talk much along the way, even if Zhang Xinyi picked up the topic, Sanniang didn't respond a few words, what's wrong? What did I do?

Zhang Xinyi felt that the atmosphere was really depressing, so she lifted the curtain and sat next to You Xu, who was driving, You Xu turned his head and asked, "Do you want to try it?" ”

Zhang Xinyi whispered back: "What's wrong with Sanniang this morning? You Xu shook his head: "It's no different from usual, what's wrong with her?" "Youxu is a little anxious.

"You go in and see her, I'll drive slowly for a while," she thought for a moment and continued, "It's been a day of travel, and everyone is tired, so if you're all right, get out of the car and rest." You Xu nodded: "You be careful." With that, he got into the car.

Sanniang, who was left in the car, didn't hear what they said again, but her heart became more and more panicked, and she didn't quite understand why she felt this way. Even if You Xu came in, she was resentful in her heart.

You Xu looked at Sanniang gently: "What's wrong?" I haven't seen you say a few words today. Sanniang didn't answer, and turned her head to You Xu to see the place

It's really a little different than usual.

You Xu patiently turned her head around: "Sanniang, don't be well-behaved again, if you tell me something, don't be bored in your heart." ”

"Why do I want to tell you that you are not me?" Sanniang turned her head again. You Xu felt that such a Sanniang was very cute, and smiled: "Who am I?" Who do you say I am not you? That's not it. ”

"Yuxu!" Sanniang's tears came out, and she looked very aggrieved. You Xu saw that he was anxious to make her cry, and helped her wipe her tears: "I was wrong, Sanniang, I was joking, I am your close person, and there is no longer anything else in the world." Zhang Xinyi, who heard their movements outside, smiled lightly, what a young man, thinking of himself, his face turned and he sighed.

When will we know the answer?

Originally, the three of them didn't know the way, and they were delayed a lot of time along the way, so they didn't have the heart to talk, they just wanted to find a place to settle down quickly.

The shopkeeper saw that the three of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, and his face was disdainful, but he also entertained them: "I don't know if the three of them are eating or staying in the hotel?" ”

Zhang Xinyi saw it but didn't accuse, when she was an ordinary oppressed dancer in the past, she saw a lot of this kind of look, they were all low-level people, and no one needed to say anyone. You Xu and Sanniang were indifferent.

You Xu replied to him: "Stay in a hotel and open two rooms." The shopkeeper replied: "No, there is only one left, you can look at it." ”

"What to do, there's only one room." You Xu looked at Zhang Xinyi, Zhang Xinyi is the core of the threesome, and everything is basically decided by her.

Zhang Xinyi walked up to the shopkeeper: "Are you sure there is only one room?" "There are no more people eating in this hall, and he is the only one who runs the hall, and the shopkeeper is also dozing off, so it stands to reason that the room is not full.

The shopkeeper was shocked, this woman's momentum was not lower than the dignitaries he had seen, although this appearance was covered by a hat, but the exposed hands were fair and pink, plus her graceful posture, she was a beauty, wouldn't it be a young lady?

"Yes, yes, but they are all good rooms, I don't know if you want them. So ......" Zhang Xinyi understood, this was because he was afraid that they would not be able to pay for the house, and he would turn around and scold them for being poor.

You Xu was indifferent, he had never valued these things. In fact, although the You family is not a wealthy family, it is also a "petty bourgeoisie" family, and whaling is very profitable, but when the economy is bad, it is a little difficult to do.

"Then come to the two upper rooms, and give you the money." Zhang Xinyi took out a heavy money bag and threw it on the table, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he was immediately a lot more attentive: "I don't know how many days the three guest officers will stay?" I'm good to take care of, our room is really a very good environment, many nobles have lived and said it is excellent. ”

Zhang Xinyi smiled: "How many days to stay, it's still uncertain, let's talk about it." "Noble? I'm afraid that the rich are called nobles, so I almost kneel down and tongue. Lost money, this face, it turns out that no matter which world is like this, love money like life? Life is not as valuable as money, ridiculous.

"Okay." After he finished speaking, he quickly put away the money, shook the rag quickly, and walked in like a wind.

They were also led into the room they had booked by another person.

Zhang Xinyi and Sanniang naturally live in the same room, and You Xu lives in the opposite door.

"Come to me if you have something."

Zhang Xinyi and Sanniang both snorted.

"These days, you're ...... Why don't you pay much attention to me? Zhang Xinyi still said the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time. Sanniang shook her head: "I haven't ignored you." I just don't know how to get along with you right now. ”

Zhang Xinyi touched her head: "If you can't think of it, you don't want to think about it, you can do it, you don't have to think about it." ”

"But you're not going to blame me."

She smiled: "No, maybe it's growing up, right?" ”

Without any clues, Zhang Xinyi kept frowning. She suddenly thought of Chen Yuji's kid, he was thoughtful, he was a rare talent, if he was here, it would definitely make things much easier. I don't know what happened to this world.

She decided to take a look on the streets, maybe she would find a clue like she did last time?

Sanniang and You Xu said to go together, Zhang Xinyi refused, the goal of the three of them was too big, if it was really dangerous, it would be impossible to plant it together.

This Dongtu is worthy of being a big city, the road is open, and the road is not a dirt road like Whale Town, but a stone road, there are many people coming and going, and the cries are endless.

Zhang Xinyi walked slowly on the street, but it looked very strange in the eyes of the people on the street. She also noticed that almost everyone had to look at her when they passed her, and there was nothing wrong with her looking at herself, if it was because of her beauty, it was also a reason, but the problem was that she covered the face of the country and the city, so why?

"Look at her, how dare she come out today, and walk down the street with a swagger, and there is no one around."

"Who knows, maybe you want to ......," the two men laughed weirdly.

Zhang Xinyi's ears were sharp, she walked in front of the two people, the two dodged like dodging the plague god, and she blocked in front of them again: "Tell me, why did you say you couldn't come out today." "There is a strength in the voice that cannot be denied.

They glanced at each other, both of them hesitant and vaguely afraid. She took out the purse: "Say, these are yours." One of them quickly grabbed the money bag and weighed it and smiled with satisfaction: "Don't hide it from the girl, there is an unwritten rule in this Dongtu City, that is, unmarried women can't come out on Shuojiu's day, and married women also have to avoid it, can't ...... Walk the streets like you do, not to mention...... If you really want to come out, you must have someone with you. ”

"Why?"

"I don't dare to say that."

Zhang Xinyi sneered, this person was boring, she didn't give any more money: "You can't say this casually, right?" If I'm preaching here, saying you're talking nonsense, what do you think will happen to others? The man didn't even dare to say, "Good girl, I beg you, this money ...... I pay you back. ”

Zhang Xinyi smiled lightly: "If you whisper to me, who will know, I only need all the information, and the money is still yours." ”

He trembled and continued: "Here, a noble man came a month ago, from Dadu, how big the pomp is, I heard that it has something to do with the royal family, it's okay to come, I ......like that uncle" He lowered his voice, "On Shuojiu's day, playing with women, or unmarried women, no matter whether they are beautiful or ugly, fat or thin, they all plundered home, and the people who went in either committed suicide in humiliation or were tortured to death!" ”

Zhang Xinyi smiled, there are such hateful people in this world?

"Does no one care?"

"Girl, who cares? Aren't you kidding, the Dongtu officials just secretly issued this rule and were ...... When he was killed in the street, he was hung on the city gate when he died, and he hung it until everyone stinked, and the scene was terrifying. But everyone followed it. Zhang Xinyi wanted to ask something, but the person who answered was pulled by the person next to him who didn't say a word: "Girl, he said everything that should be said, and we will leave." The two walked and ran away.

Zhang Xinyi gave up, he didn't think that there were still such people! She wanted to see who that man was.

"I just got the news that the man is coming, should we get ahead of them?"

"Today is Shuojiu, let her suffer a little."

"Yes."

Zhang Xinyi was really "lucky", and said that if he wanted to go and see it, he could really go and see it. She was caught, and after someone wrapped her in a sack from behind, they carried her on her shoulders and drove away quickly.

She guessed where the big man was, and how was she going to deal with it? Although she wanted to see what kind of person that person was, she didn't want to make a fuss, but now she could only act according to the situation, if you asked her why she wasn't in a hurry, it might be that she had experienced this kind of thing too much.

The man handed her out, and someone caught her, as if she was making a deal, this is an underground black deal, right? The man said, "It's new, it's inspected." "Goods? You're the goods, huh.

"Yes, you can go." The man walked away slowly, and then he heard the man say, "Kill it." Suddenly, a person swept over like the wind, Zhang Xinyi was surprised, and he didn't let anyone go? Maybe this line is really auspicious, but fortunately, she can contact Sanniang in Zhihai, and she has been notified when she is arrested, she tells them to come back after a while, she will meet this person.

Sanniang is used to it, Zhang Xinyi likes adventure and doesn't like to be lively, she knows all this. You Xu is more worried, after all, they are partners who come together, even if they get along for a short time, they have feelings.

The man's steps were very steady, and according to the voice, it was inferred that he was a man in the prime of life, and a person who delivered "goods" was like this, that ....... She has no force and no gun, so she can't break in, she can only rely on her tongue.

"Put it down, the master has been waiting for a long time." The man put her down and turned away.

"Go in by yourself." The voice was cold, even ruthless, to the point of indifference.

Zhang Xinyi lifted the sack and opened his curious eyes, which made the man a little surprised, all the people who were arrested either cried or fainted, few people are like this, isn't it a stupid girl?

She walked in.

This is an antique room, mahogany-colored, solemn and magnificent, with exquisite window carvings, placed Taishi chairs, and vases, which according to her vicious eyes look like the real thing. Sure enough, it's a big shot! It's about having money. But I don't know where the money came from.

"Sit down." Suddenly a voice came from behind her, the door had been closed, and she looked back cautiously, she was a little stunned. That man really looks like a gentleman.

Dressed in white, with two strands of hair scattered, it does not look messy, but it is a kind of fairy wind and bones, with a gentle complexion, delicate facial features, and the corners of the mouth are shallow and raised.

He saw her stunned, and smiled a little: "How is it different from what you imagined?" He sat down slowly, "Let's sit down first, I've wronged you along the way." ”

Zhang Xinyi came back to his senses, remembered what he was doing, and sneered: "I don't know what the adults are doing when they catch the little girl?" He did not reply directly: "Take off your hat first, and I will talk to you in detail." "Zhang Xinyi is informal, everyone is here with him, do you still care about this? She lifted her hat and looked like a captivating city.

She was a little impatient: "What are you trying to do with me?" He still looked light, picked up the water cup and took a sip: "Don't worry, the time has not yet come." ”

Zhang Xinyi had no choice but to calm down, although she looked good, but she didn't feel anything for him, wouldn't it really be that? Her eyes were sharp, as if she had thought of something bad.

"Here we are." With a smile on his face, he bent down and held a furry object on the ground in his hands.

Zhang Xinyi saw clearly what was in his arms, it was a white cat, round, cute-looking, but cute, but he said that it was waiting for him, why is this?

The man spoke: "Do you know, I have raised this cat for a long time, and I have raised it very well, and I do almost everything myself, but. He curled the corners of his mouth, but his eyes changed, "One day it ran away, and I caught it again, what do you think I should do to it?" ”

Zhang Xinyi's back was cold, she was a little scared, she looked at the cat carefully and found that it was lame and blind, this was made by him?

She didn't speak.

"Heh, its eyes were a woman who poked blind, it ran out disobediently, and frightened a woman, that woman is so expensive, naturally called someone to poke it blind in one of its eyes, and when it came back, its body was dripping with blood, and the white cat turned into a red cat, I still saved it, but ......" The words turned, "In order to punish it, I took its legs, and now it's not obedient?" ”

She still didn't speak, her face pale.

"You say, how should the person who pierces it blind be punished?" He touched the cat in his arms, faintly, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with these words.

"I, send someone to catch a woman every day on the day of Shuojiu, and there will always be a time when I will catch her, right? You tell me? ”

Zhang Xinyi was angry: "You can go and find out who did it, if you want to retaliate, just look for her, why kill those innocent people!" ”

He smiled lightly: "In this case, no one knows." Let people know that this is my thing, and no one can touch it. ”

A chill crept up on her heart, what a mad man! And what about her, what punishment does she have!

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, but you have to cooperate obediently." He stopped laughing, got up, and put the cat on the ground, and the cat crawled slowly and crawled for a long time before going out of the room.

"What if I don't cooperate?"

"Then if you don't behave, there will be a new punishment for those who don't behave."

Zhang Xinyi was dragged into the bath, and she struggled: "What do you want to do!" ”

"You don't have to take off your clothes, did you bring them?" He said to the man who was dragging her away.

"Yes, I brought it." He was respectful.

"Well, you go down." He was still faint, as if nothing had been on his mind.

Zhang Xinyi still didn't understand what he meant, only the motive was known, those women were tortured, she wouldn't be the same today...... No, no, my life is mine, my body is mine, and I can't destroy it here.

He shoved her from behind, and she fell into the pool, her clothes soaking and making her feel very uncomfortable, and the wet clothes clung to her skin, revealing her slender body.

"You wash it first, put on that dress when you're done, and show me." He turned his back, but he didn't intend to leave.

Zhang Xinyi was angry and angry, but she didn't dare to do anything, now it's a man-made knife, and I am a fish, if you provoke him, maybe he will do something.

She slowly took off the clothes on her body, only a liner remained, she used to wear more revealing than this, but she didn't feel it, but it was customary, and there were men on her side to make her afraid.

This is the most aggrieved bath Zhang Xinyi has ever taken, she used to think that bathing was enjoyment, but now it is another matter. She looked at the man standing there, with a good temperament, it stands to reason that he would not be such a sinister person in his heart, and he is really unseemly.

The man noticed: "Finished washing?" The clothes are on the side and put them on by yourself. ”

She picked up the clothes that were placed by the pool, they were red, which matched her temperament, but this specification was worn by the bride, right?

There is a phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the clothes, and the rest of the decorations are also auspicious clouds, all of which are good colors, the meaning is excellent, and the cloth of the clothes is also made of silk yarn, which is very valuable.

She still put it on, it fit unexpectedly, she came out of the bath, her feet were exposed, there were no shoes, and the shoes were wet just now.

He turned around and saw such a beautiful view.

Zhang Xinyi's hair fell down to her buttocks like a waterfall, and she had just finished taking a shower, her face was ruddy, her mouth was red without dotting, and her eyes were foggy, as if she was puzzled.

The red clothes set off her complexion, the red clothes beat the fire, and her bewitching and unruly appearance was vividly revealed.

She had been wearing Sanniang's clothes before, Sanniang liked light-colored clothes, and it was very suitable for her, but there was less feeling in Zhang Xinyi, which suppressed her beauty, although it was still very attractive, but it was far inferior to this dress lining her.

The man's eyes were a little strange, not strange Zhang Xinyi's beauty, he knew that this dress was suitable for her, she reminded him of his old friend, but it was a long time ago.

"The shoes are outside, come out with me first."

Zhang Xinyi nodded and followed him out of this place that had very bad memories in her eyes.

"You're so weird, you're the second person who makes me feel weird." He suddenly approached Zhang Xinyi, "Do you know who the first one is?" She looked at his handsome face and shook her head in a daze.

"Heh, I won't let you know." He turned his head very arrogantly, and the corners of Zhang Xinyi's eyes twitched, I don't want to know, I just want to know what you are going to do.

The people were demoted, and there were only two of them left in the room.

He took out a box with a lock on it, and he slowly opened the box, and it was full of paper, and he didn't know that it was a wastebasket.

"This is all news about you, and our people have been staring at you since you left Whale Town." He paused and continued: "Zhang Xinyi, you are very tempting. ”

She felt that the world was always selling Guanzi to her, whether it was Li Lao, You Qi, who was arresting her, or the man in front of her, who was selling Guanzi, what could she not know about this thing, why so many people were staring at her, and they all knew about her existence.

"You have a question, you want to know, and we'll make a deal."

"Why do you want to make a deal with me?"

"You don't have a choice, your clothes are on, where else can you run?"

Zhang Xinyi's eyes widened: "What do you mean!" ”

"This dress is worn by the princess and concubine of the dynasty, do you know? If you go out, you will be considered a thief in rebellion. He smiled slightly, looking aggrieved, and said I don't want to, but you are not obedient, so you can only do this.

She suppressed her temper: "What a deal." ”

"Marry me, you can know everything you want to know."

This sentence shocked Zhang Xinyi: "Impossible! "She has love in her heart, how can she marry someone else, not to mention that this object is still such a crazy pervert!

He didn't care: "If you don't want to, then the punishment will begin." Her eyes were steadfast and unmoved.

"I'll tell you another story, a story about me." His eyes were melancholy, helpless, "I'm a prince, to be precise, an illegitimate child, the kind that can't see the light, I like a woman, marry her, but she wants to run away, because of me, she has been targeted, she can't stand it, so she really ran away, I became the object of ridicule, I have heard too many words, what I really care about is the woman who has always said that she loves me." I begged her, and she still ...... So, what about women, maybe it's all like this, right? My cat was also hurt by a woman, you say, will you be the same? ”

Zhang Xinyi was slightly touched: "That, those...... The woman you mutilated. ”

"No, I didn't do it, someone else did it in my name, and what I did was just to poke the servant who was ordered to act blind, or two, and pay it back, and I have to pay it back in double."

"That woman, I found someone to kill her, so that she could die without pain."

He turned against the light, his face pale from the memory of these bad things. Zhang Xinyi didn't pity him, and the poor people must have something to hate.

"Why did you want to marry you, why did you come to me?"

"Married because you are nothing, why use such a beautiful woman to anger them? Looking for you, there is no reason, if you agree, I will give it all. ”

"Who killed those women?"

"Mingyue Sect, you can't fight them. They are the number one religion, and they can run rampant even in the Imperial City. ”

"Why is it that Dongtu City is spreading that it was done by you, a big man?"

"It's just confusing, I'm such a person, aren't they all afraid of me? The Mingyue Sect should be very happy if there is a backstopper, right? ”

"Should I believe you?"

"In you."

He stood up and walked to the window, he had talked so much today that he felt a little bored. The woman was not easy to deal with.

Zhang Xinyi looked at him with a little complexity, so why did he create the illusion that everything was done by him from the beginning, and simply wanted her to be afraid of him?

"Your name." He asked.

"Shouldn't you first sign up for someone's name when you ask for their name?"

The man smiled comfortably, this sentence was interesting, no one had ever heard that he was a prince and could talk to him like this, either disdain or fear.

"Gu Chao'an."

"Zhang Xinyi. So apart from the condition of marrying you, is there nothing that can be exchanged? ”

"Then you can stay with me all the time." He smiled, and he smiled beautifully.

Zhang Xinyi didn't answer, this person is the best friend, and he can't be an enemy with him, otherwise he will never recover. She looked at Gu Chao'an: "I'm sorry, it's impossible. ”

"Haha, I know it's impossible, who would want to stay by my side all the time? But you can't go, Zhang Xinyi, I said this is a deal, not a discussion, when did you figure it out, just call me over, you are tired today, rest first, the clothes you changed have been burned by me, don't think about looking for it again and sneaking away, you, you can't go. ”

Zhang Xinyi thought it was funny, is this anger? That's how the anger of children is, trapping you in such a funny way. Gu Chao'an flicked his sleeves, walked out, and asked someone to lock the door, which can be regarded as house arrest in disguise.

can't promise him, in her eyes, if she agrees, she must do it, whether it's true or not, no, it will hurt both sides, and the only way to do it now is to ask for foreign aid, but the two of them ...... Don't be in danger.
