Xiong Wei sat in the peony room on the second floor, feeling very worried. Yesterday, Zhao Ziqian said that he wanted to stay in Xile Building, forcing him to follow Xiao Er to knock on the door of the tenant in person, and spent a lot of money to get the two guests to voluntarily give up the two rooms. At this time, it was lunch time, and Zhao Ziqian called him to order a table of dishes, and he ran next door to be a "gentleman on the beam".

Xiong Wei desperately wants to contact the secret guards at the moment, and the prince's mansion will bury its own secret agents almost everywhere, so Zhao Ziqian and Xiong Wei also have other footholds in Tongzhou. It's not a problem to live in other places, but His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince personally went to listen to the corner, which is really appalling.

With a "click", the peony room was pushed open by the outer window of the alley, and Zhao Ziqian jumped in from the window.

"How?" Xiong Wei walked over and closed the window, and asked Zhao Ziqian.

The latter did not answer Xiong Wei's words, he frowned and said nothing, and the handsome ice cube had a serious expression on his face, so that Xiong Wei did not dare to ask again.

Xiong Wei is now full of doubts in his stomach, since Zhao Ziqian said on a whim yesterday that he wanted to live in Xile Building, he was a little puzzled, after all, their top priority was to meet with the secret guard quickly, and then go to Qishan.

Xiong Wei's "top priority" was not wrong, because Zhao Ziqian's original plan was indeed to go to Qishan first. But Zhao Ziqian heard Xiao Er in the hall of Xile Building say yesterday that their host would have a banquet in Fusheng Pavilion today, so he stayed with curiosity about the Yi family. I thought that there would not be much delay, but what I didn't expect was that at noon today, I saw the three brothers and sisters of the Yi family coming together, and one of the girls with big eyes and round faces was actually a martial arts master, and it was well hidden, almost even he didn't find out. So Zhao Ziqian asked Xiong Wei to set up a private room, and he touched the window of the Fusheng Pavilion to listen to the corner.

Yi Xiangxiang later knew that she and Zhao Ziqian were targeted in the first round of their encounter, and once shouted bad luck, if she could have known in advance that Zhao Ziqian would find Qingxuan Huiwu that day, she would not have left the house if she was killed. In fact, she was afraid that the people around Zhao Zixiu would notice, so she deliberately transferred the secret guards who protected her, and Qing Xuan had learned the unique mental method of concealing her inner strength, and even the hidden masters said that there were really few people in this world who could see through Qing Xuan.

Hehe, there are not a few who just bumped into one, it's really decaying. This is Yi Xiangxiang's inner monologue for a long time later, of course, this is also a later story.

That's right, the reason why Zhao Ziqian came in through the window was because he had just overheard from the window of the Fusheng Pavilion. The words of Yi Xiangxiang and his party all entered his ears.

The conversation between several people in the Fusheng Pavilion also made Zhao Ziqian understand their identities, he didn't expect that the three brothers and sisters of the Yi family who came today would have two of them from the Lin family, the eldest lady of the Yi family, that is, the owner of this Xile Building. The round-faced girl was Yi Xiangxiang, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and the master who accompanied her was actually just her personal maid, which surprised Zhao Ziqian very much.

The surprise that there were masters around the Yi family led him to the Fusheng Pavilion and heard the conversation that was enough to raid the family and exterminate the clan. Zhao Ziqian has a prey-like intuition, the girl named Yi Xiangxiang is not simple.

Many years later, Zhao Ziqian was once very grateful for his keen intuition today.

"You go and contact the Secret Guard, and let them come to see me in the Joy Building." Zhao Ziqian said this to Xiong Wei.

"What about you?" Xiong Wei blurted out.

Zhao Ziqian glanced at Xiong Wei, so frightened that the latter obediently exited the room even if he didn't get an answer. In fact, Zhao Ziqian didn't mean to scare Xiong Wei, but he didn't want to tell Xiong Wei that he was going to follow Yi Xiangxiang later, so how could he say such a downgrade. Zhao Ziqian thought about throwing this task to Xiong Wei, but he was afraid that the latter would be found out by the girl in Tsing Yi with a frizzy appearance, so he could only go out himself.

After Xiong Wei left, Zhao Ziqian sat at the table and pondered alone, thinking about how to get on the line with the Yi family. Before leaving Kyoto, he had seen the list of people selected by Kang Rui, all of whom were going to be wooed in the spring of next year, and the name of Yi Luochuan was also listed in that list, but what he didn't expect was that Yi Luochuan didn't plan to participate in next year's spring festival at all.

Zhao Ziqian thought about how to approach the Yi family, and suddenly found that he was actually playing the idea of a small state government, knowing that the person who wanted to climb the big tree of his Seventh Prince was like a carp crossing the river, and he couldn't help but laugh. Thinking about it, it was estimated that it was Yi Xiangxiang's pure minister, which affected him.

The round face flashed in her mind, and she remembered that she didn't care about saying that there was no need to gamble, that ambition killed people, and that she wanted her father to be a pure minister...... Zhao Ziqian couldn't help but smile.

Chunchen? I'm afraid it's not that easy, he thought.

After touching a pillar of incense, Zhao Ziqian heard the movement of the Yi Luochuan brothers and sisters leaving the Xile Building, so he hid behind the three of them and followed. However, to his disappointment, the three of them did not make any other special moves, but went back to Yifu directly, Zhao Ziqian looked at the Gaomen compound, and in order not to startle the snake, he could only return to Xile Building.

When Zhao Ziqian returned to the chess room of Xile Building, he saw Xiong Wei and Tang He, the person in charge of the Tongzhou base, who were waiting in his room.

Tang He was very cautious, this was not only his master standing in front of him, but also the seventh prince of the royal family, and his noble status did not allow him to be sloppy. But after all, he was personally trained by Glimpse, so that he could resist Zhao Ziqian's powerful aura, although he felt a little cold.

"Subordinates, see Your Highness!" Soup and get down on one knee.

Zhao Ziqian sat down at the top and beckoned Xiong Wei to come over the chessboard from the desk at the other end. He reached out and picked up a chess piece, which was made of jade, and it was very warm in his hand.

"Come on, there's still no news from Shadow Killing?" Zhao Ziqian opened his mouth and asked Tang He.

Tang He stood up and replied to Zhao Ziqian's words: "No, after the shadow kill disappeared, we secretly sent people to look for him, but there was no news of him. ”

"Shadow Kill disappeared near Qishan, and you have been sending people to look for it, but you haven't found anyone from Huanxi Pavilion going up the mountain? That's how Condray taught you to do things? Zhao Ziqian dropped the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard and asked with an expressionless face.

Although the leader of the dark guard is a glimpse, it is now Kang Rui who is responsible for the intelligence management and integration of each stronghold, and Tang He is led by Kang Rui, and it is Zhao Ziqian who mentioned Kang Rui.

"The subordinates are guilty."

Tang He knelt down again, he couldn't argue, this matter was indeed their mistake, because they really didn't send someone to keep an eye on Qishan at night, but only secretly probed nearby during the day.

If you take it seriously, you can't actually blame Tang He. There are mountains near Qishan, if you squat for a long time at night, you must light torches to drive away snakes, rats, insects and ants, Tang He is afraid of attracting the attention of the mountain people, so he did not do this.

Zhao Ziqian picked up another chess piece and fell, saying: "After this incident, you will be punished by yourself, get up." ”

"Yes!" Soup and Promise.

"Let's talk about the Yi family." Zhao Ziqian spoke.

Tang He didn't know what his master's intentions were, and the Yi family's affairs had already been reported to Kyoto because of the careful investigation of Xile Building. But Tang He naturally didn't dare to ask why, so he talked about the Yixi Lake family in Tongzhou Zhizhou in detail.

Zhao Ziqian frowned after listening to Tang He's narration, and the third chess piece in his hand never fell. Judging from the existing information, there is no problem with the Yi family, Yi Xihu is also a good official, except for the second room is a little messy, the Yi family is a rare home and everything is prosperous. But today's remarks and conversations of the Yi family brothers and sisters always make him feel that this Yi family is not as simple as he imagined.

"What kind of person is their Eighth Miss?" Zhao Ziqian asked.

Zhao Ziqian's question not only surprised Xiong Wei, but also made Tang He stuck. Why would His Highness be interested in a little girl? This is a common question they have at the moment.

Although the two of them were surprised, they would not ask questions at this time, Tang He organized the language and said: "Among the current young generation of Yifu, there are a total of ten young ladies in the first place, and the eighth lady in the tooth order is named Xiangxiang, who is the eldest daughter of Yi Xihu. It is rumored that this eighth lady has no talent and no virtue, does not like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and prefers to ponder and eat, but she is very talented in making incense. Now she is also a student at the women's school of Lusheng Academy, but she often doesn't go to class, and even if she does, it's just a formality. ”

"No talent, no virtue?" Zhao Ziqian frowned, expressing great doubts about this statement.

"Uh...... Be...... There is such a saying. Tang He couldn't figure out his master's thoughts for a while, and became hesitant.

"Go on." Zhao Ziqian said.

Well? Go on? It's gone!

Tang He exhaled lightly, racked his brains and thought about it before adding: "Yi Xiangxiang's personal maid when she was a child was taken away by the lady of the Marquis of Changping a few years ago, and now it seems to be the outer room of the Marquis of Changping. ”

Changping Marquis Mansion?

Zhao Ziqian stopped thinking for a while and asked, "Who is the girl in Tsing Yi who is following her now?" ”

Servant girl? Isn't a maid a maid? Xiong Wei became more and more incomprehensible.

"After her young personal maid and Mrs. Changping Hou left, she was made up by this maid named Qingxuan, who turned out to be a second-class maid." Tang He still replied respectfully.

It's been following you since you were a child? Zhao Ziqian had guessed before that it would be Yi Xiangxiang who accidentally saved some martial arts master, and the other party repaid the favor before staying by her side, not wanting to be a personal maid, it seems that it is really worth knowing.

Tang He's head hurt a little at this time, and he was also a little worried, he really didn't know what happened to the Yi family in the future, after all, Xile Building had been in operation for a few years, and when the Yi family was still in Centennial County before, they had never paid attention to the Yi family at all, and now there are very few things that can be understood when they investigate, that is, the matter of the maid being taken away by the Hou Mansion was still discovered by accident.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziqian didn't ask any more, which made Tang He breathe a sigh of relief.

"From today onwards, you will send someone to keep an eye on Yi Xiangxiang, she has a master by her side to protect her, don't get too close, as long as she leaves the house, she will send someone to report to me." In addition, send someone close to Yi Luochuan, it is best to gain his trust. ”

This Yi Xiangxiang still doesn't know the details, Zhao Ziqian thought that it was better not to enter the house to investigate first, if she moved, it would not be too late for her to move.

Xiong Wei was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, you want to be friends and keep an eye on people, in the end, do we want to win over the Yi family, or do we want to give the Yi family ......?"

Zhao Ziqian put down the chess pieces, picked up the teacup and shook it and said: "If this Yi family is really unusual, but it can't be used by us, in order to prevent it from becoming someone else's sword, we naturally have to destroy it first." ”

The best way to deal with an enemy is to strangle it while it grows.

At this time, Yi Xiangxiang knew that she had been targeted, and she was happily returning to Yongle House to make up for sleep.

Qing Xuan followed Yi Xiangxiang back to Yongle Residence, and after entering the door, he said, "Because of the few words of the Chiling Sanren, everyone began to pay attention to Huanxi Pavilion. ”

"It's okay, what the Red Lingsan people say is beneficial to us." Yi Xiangxiang lay on the beauty couch by the window and sighed comfortably.

The applause of the Chiling Sanren arched the Huanxi Pavilion from a murderous organization to a heroic hero, which Yi Xiangxiang never expected.

"Miss, we won't make any moves since we took Qishan, will we be suspected that our purpose is Qishan?" Qingxuan sat on the Huanghuali eight-legged round stool, holding the lady's fan to fan the Yi Xiangxiang lying in the beauty couch; The autumn tiger is coming, and the weather is very hot and humid at this time.

Yi Xiangxiang yawned and said: "No, Qishanzhai is so difficult to gnaw, we have all gnawed it, and the name that we want to raise on the surface has already been raised, and then we just add to it." ”

Qing Xuan nodded and said, "Miss is right, this will reduce suspicion." ”

"Well, it doesn't matter, don't be so nervous. You go back and tell the twenty-four ghosts that as long as you don't find out your true identity, you still have to give what you should give. No one knows that we have a treasure map anyway, and over-covering it will only be considered a lack of heart. Yi Xiangxiang waved her hand and said.

Qingxuan said, although she wondered why the young lady was shocked by the scroll, but she didn't ask much. It's also the first time I've heard the lady talk about treasure maps these days, and it seems that there really is a treasure.

After that, Yi Xiangxiang said that she wanted to stay alone for a while, so she asked Qing Xuan to give her the fan, and then let her go down to rest.

Yi Xiangxiang was still lying on the floor, and began to gently shake the fan, and there was no one in the room except her. Yi Xiangxiang remembered the bits and pieces of coming to this world, and for the first time felt that killing was really so easy. When she ended her long-cherished wish for many years with anger to avenge Mama Li and others, and cut off other people's lives like a harvesting machine, she suddenly felt that everything in front of her was not so real.

Yi Xiangxiang can't find a sense of belonging, whether it is modern or the Li Dynasty, she can't find her own sense of belonging. Even though she now has family and friends around her who love her, she still feels a little lonely.

She got up and took the fan to the side room, and there was only one embroidery frame in the empty room, on which was a picture of the mountains and rivers that Mama Li had never finished.

Touching the embroidery frame with bare hands, silk thread ...... Yi Xiangxiang became even more confused.

There is a corner in everyone's heart, you can't get out by yourself, and others can't get in.

Yi Xiangxiang has lived two lives, and her corner is even more empty.

Mo Wen stood in Huanxi Pavilion and listened to the sea tower, looking at the night in Tongzhou City, there was also such emptiness. From the time the Mo family was ambushed, he was determined to take revenge, and now he finally stabbed the enemy of Qishan, but he still felt lonely.

He still has a lot of questions to answer, the most important thing is why his grandfather chose to go into hiding, and why he took the road of Qishan without hesitation at the risk of being wiped out...... He had too many questions, but at this moment, he didn't want to pursue them anymore.

The dead are gone, and the living are like us.

The headquarters of Huanxi Pavilion is built in the Colorful Valley, the name is still taken by Yi Xiangxiang himself, and the location is in a secluded abyss mountain range outside Tongzhou City. Huanxi Pavilion is built by the cliff, surrounded by the cliff on three sides, but because it is built in the depths of the valley of the dense forest, there are many insects, ants, snakes and beasts around, it is easy to fragrant people to plant the vine man in front of it, and a large area of fox flowers and grass of insect repellent beasts are planted around, this grass blooms in all seasons, and the valley bottom is colorful, which is the origin of the name of the colorful valley.

In order to facilitate access, Yi Xiangxiang spent a lot of manpower digging a secret passage, and no one explored it in the depths of the dense forest, so no one found that there was a paradise here.

Yaksha jumped up to Tinghailou and stood beside Mo Wen, holding two pots of falling flowers in his hands.

It is rumored that there was a woman who was good at winemaking and fell in love with a son of a family, and because she didn't know what she wanted, she spent ten years brewing a pot of wine to give to her loved one.

At that time, the son had become a master, and he dropped the pot of wine.

The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless.

Whether the story is true or not, no one knows, but Yaksha has always been fascinated by the thousands of flavors that can be tasted in a thousand moods. He handed a pot of wine to Mo Wen, opened another pot and drank it.

"Before you found me, or even after you found me, I didn't believe that one day I would really be able to take revenge. Thank you, boss. Yaksha said to Mo Wen.

In the Huanxi Pavilion, everyone called Mo Wen the boss, and Qing Xuan called Sister Qing. This is what Yi Xiangxiang asked his subordinates to call Mo Wen and Qing Xuan like this, in addition to bringing people closer to each other, it is also another way of respect.

Of course, there is another reason that Yi Xiangxiang didn't say, that is, she is very obsessed with the beach!

Mo Wen laughed, shook his head and said, "We should thank Miss." ”

Yaksha thought of the woman with big black eyes, and her heart was also very respectful: "Yes, Miss Jing! ”

Xu is because of Yaksha's sentence Miss Jing, Mo Wen's eyes flashed brightly, and the previous loneliness was swept away, he picked up the wine jug and touched it with Yaksha, and drank it too.

"Now that I have taken revenge, the big stone in my heart has fallen to the ground. Huanxi Pavilion is famous, and in the future, our brothers and sisters will continue to punish evil and promote good! Yaksha laughed happily.

Just a sentence, the light in Mo Wen's eyes was instantly extinguished, he shook his head and said, "When the wind passes, or when we get the treasure, Miss may dissolve the Joy Pavilion." ”

"Why?" Yaksha was shocked.

"When the Huanxi Pavilion was established, the young lady said that everyone benefited each other, and the Huanxi Pavilion gave all the subordinates a place to stay, and even helped solve the feuds, and her only request was to help her kill Qishan in the end. Now that the matter in Qishan has been settled, Miss........ It will give everyone an asset, and then set everyone free. Qingxuan came out of the attic and said to Yaksha.

Qing Xuan remembered that on the day of the establishment of the Huanxi Pavilion, Mo Wen had privately asked Miss with her if she wanted to use poison to contain the people, but Miss refused the proposal and said to them what Qing Xuan had just said.

Yaksha didn't know why: "But I think it's good to be like this now!" ”

"Miss is particular about money and goods, and she doesn't like to owe favors to others. That's why there is Huanxi Pavilion, she doesn't want anyone to give up life and freedom to work for her, she is different from those who are obsessed with power. ”

Qing Xuan knows Yi Xiangxiang too well, and she has been with her since she was a child. In fact, Huanxi Pavilion had the strength to deal with Qishan a year ago, but the young lady still let the subordinates below settle their personal grievances with the help of Huanxi Pavilion first. She remembered that Yi Xiangxiang said at that time: "It is very likely that some of them will never come back after going to Qishan, and she hopes that they will have nothing to worry about." ”

Miss, I always say that money and goods are in good faith, which seems to be ruthless, but in fact it is affectionate.

"But I don't want to leave, leaving the Joy Pavilion, I don't know where to go." The fox fairy didn't know when she sat on the roof of the attic, holding a snow-white rabbit.

The evil spirits also sat at the other end and said, "Suddenly I don't want Miss to find the treasure, so we can help Miss find the treasure for the rest of our lives." ”

The dragon girl hung the shawl under the beam and set up a swing, and when she heard the words to ward off evil spirits, she said funny: "If the young lady hears that you don't let her make money, she will definitely let the old ambassador train you." Speaking of which, I suddenly felt a little envious of Miss Moxi. ”

Qing Xuan was speechless and held her forehead, her own young lady's love for money really couldn't be overturned, she smiled and said: "Miss is for your good, she hopes that you can live a normal life." ”

Yaksha handed the wine to Qing Xuan and said, "Sister Qing, only the life we want is the life we feel normal, I want to go to Miss!" As he spoke, he was about to jump down to listen to the sea tower.

"Stop!" Mo asked.

"Boss!" Yaksha spoke anxiously.

"It's too late today, I'll take you to find Miss tomorrow." Mo Wen's meaning is very clear, and he doesn't want the Huanxi Pavilion to be disbanded.

Qing Xuan shook his head and smiled, and took a sip of the falling flowers.

It's not a good life

It's not a good life
