"Oh, really?" Xu Yungui asked curiously.

"Naturally." Nian Tong said.

"The death of the star... Do you need an explanation for his brother? ”

"It's none of my business at this point, why should I give an explanation? I have mentioned it in my letter, and I am also very sad that the star burned to death. ”

"How do you prove that what you and I say is true?" Xu Yungui asked.

Nian Tong frowned and said, "If you insist on not believing it, you can announce it to the public, and I, Nian Tong, will be your Red Sleeve Villa from now on." ”

Xu Yungui raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little surprised that she would say that.

"That's what you say, but how do I know if you're in cahoots with those people?"

"Is there any collusion, won't you know when the time comes?" Nian Tong is still confident in this, except for Qu Yi, she didn't tell anyone, those people will definitely regard her as an enemy and a traitor, in this way, the people of the Red Sleeve Villa will dispel some suspicions about her, and she will act better, "What's more, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, this truth, the owner of your dignified Red Sleeve Villa should know more than me, a little woman, right?" ”

Xu Yungui nodded: "Yes, you are right, you don't need to be suspicious, you don't need to use people, then according to what you said, I will appoint you as the right deputy envoy of Red Sleeve Villa." ”

"Right deputy?! Isn't that Yu Chen? Nian Tong asked in surprise.

"He is in Kunlun, he has not made the slightest credit, and his ability is not strong, and now he has abdicated to make way for Xian, I believe that you are a candidate with this strength." Xu Yungui said.

"Then, as the right deputy envoy of the Red Sleeve Villa, am I qualified to ask the owner a question?" Nian Tong said.

Xu Yungui nodded in approval.

"Do you know a man named Hongxiang?"

"I don't know." Xu Yungui said.

Nian Tong looked at him, not like he was lying. She was a little confused, but continued: "Then, do you know the person surnamed Qu?" Well... Especially, men. ”

"The surname is Qu?" Xu Yungui didn't ask Nian Tong why he asked these questions, he really seemed to think about it very seriously, "I was the owner of this Red Sleeve Villa ten years ago, and for so many years, I really don't remember a doorman with the surname Qu. Why, you ask what this does, does it matter? ”

Nian Tong said: "Also... It's not very important, if you can remember it, tell me, if you can't remember it, then forget it. ”

Nian Tong thought in her heart, since the "Red Fragrance Notes" written by Qu Yi's mother Hongxiang would be here, then Qu Yi's father would have something to do with the Red Sleeve Villa, she saw that Xu Yungui was quite reasonable in some things, so she asked him.

"Well, I have one more thing to tell you to do."

"What?" Nian Tong asked.

"Mu Yun was originally Yu Chen's subordinate, and now he will be sent to you, he is now developing a poison, although you don't know medical science, when the time comes, go to see him occasionally, and report to me, how he has refined."

"Muyun?" Nian Tong exclaimed, poison...

Could it be that it has something to do with Ashkun's blood?

Nian Tong asked: "Can the owner tell me what kind of poison is it, and he attaches so much importance to it?" ”

"Sunset poison." Xu Yungui said.

......

Nian Tong walked silently towards the Pill Hall, Xu Yungui's words made her a little suffocated, but she still tried her best to be calm in front of him, so as not to be seen by him in the slightest flaw.

Xiyan poison, obviously this poison has been developed a long time ago, and Tang Xi also fell for this poison, it was she who got the antidote from Yun Weichen to cure his poison. Now Xu Yungui said that Mu Yun was developing Xiyan poison, could it be that Tang Xizhong was not Xiyan poison at all? But Ji Sheng had no reason to lie to them, or was Xu Yungui deliberately saying this to test her?

Nian Tong settled down and continued to walk towards the Pill Hall.

The Pill Hall was empty at the moment, and it seemed that they were all preparing for that Muyun's Xiyan Pill. In the hall, only Mu Yun and a little boy were there at this moment.

Nian Tong stepped forward, and Mu Yun said respectfully: "Right deputy envoy." In his eyes, he didn't see any resentment towards Nian Tong.

Nian Tong nodded and asked, "What kind of poison are you developing, Xiyan Poison?" ”

"It's the sunset poison."

Nian Tong asked: "I heard that this Xiyan poison is made by Ruoyanmen Xiyan, and it has been made many years ago, since this is the case, then what are you doing now?" ”

"This, I don't know, I'm just doing what I'm told."

"Mu Yun, have you ever complained about my brother's death?"

"Don't dare." Mu Yun lowered his head, but Nian Tong was able to catch a trace of forbearance in his expression, which was human nature, and she didn't say anything.

"Okay, I know, you go get busy first." Nian Tong said.

Mu Yun retreated, and Nian Tong looked at the pill hall again, the previous time he came was at night, and he didn't carefully observe the facilities inside. She circled around, this decoration design is indeed wonderful, I have to say that the reason why the Red Sleeve Villa can compete with the imperial court is indeed for a reason.

Nian Tong looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed, I don't know if Tang Xi and the others already knew that she had become the right deputy envoy of the Red Sleeve Villa.

Naturally, this kind of news always spreads extremely fast, and Xu Yungui intends to publicize it, and within half a day, the matter of exile seeing the heir Nian Tong taking refuge in Red Sleeve Villa has spread all over the world. Tang Xi and the others had been looking for Nian Tong's traces, and when they heard the news, they hurried back to Wanjun Mansion, but they were shocked.

Tang Xi's emotions were the most excited, he knew best what kind of character his apprentice had, she would never do such a thing, he didn't believe it. However, this news did come after Nian Tong said goodbye, he didn't believe it, but everyone else was talking about it, plus the note left by Nian Tong with unknown meaning, this time, the rumors could no longer be stopped.

Ah Chen was beside him and said softly: "I said that at the beginning, but no one believed me, and now the matter is really out..."

Qu still glanced at her, his eyes were soft but full of warning: "You know how Nian Tong usually treats you, don't talk nonsense for a man who is not in you." ”

Ah Chen didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Qu Yi and Ji Sheng's calmness made Tang Xi particularly irritable, and he asked, "Is your news accurate?" My apprentice couldn't have done such a thing, they must have framed her. ”

It's just that, at the moment, no one dares to speak silently.

“...... I went to find her personally! Tang Xi gritted his teeth and said.

Qu still stepped forward quickly, but was stopped by Ji Sheng, who walked up more calmly, grabbed Tang Xi, and shook his head: "Don't go." ”

Tang Xi took a deep breath, looked at Ji Sheng, and said, "Ji Sheng, you and I are friends and confidants, you don't know what I'm thinking at the moment, right?" ”

"It's because I know that I want to stop you even more, you like Niantong, you believe in her, and you're afraid that others will misunderstand her. If you go to be useful now, I will never stop you, Niantong is my friend, and I believe in her. However, if she really did this, you went, but you witnessed this fact, and the embarrassment of letting her leave also confirmed her guilt. If she is wronged, you will not be able to find her on this trip and wash away her grievances. ”

Ji Sheng said that the head was the Tao, but Tang Xi was still the same irritable.

"Then you say, what can I do, sit still and wait for death?"

Ji Sheng nodded: "It's true that you have to wait, but that's not called sitting still, it's called waiting time." Ji Sheng patted him on the shoulder, "Now, how is Nian Tong's swordsmanship?" ”

"......" Tang Xi was stunned and replied perfunctorily, "It's already counted." ”

"Wouldn't that be good? She has the ability to protect herself, if not, wouldn't the blood curse between your master and apprentice be able to help? So, only when you're well, can you help Niantong when he's hurting, do you understand? ”

Tang Xi gritted his teeth, looked at Qu Yi who was worried next to him, and then looked at the gossip and gossip people next to him, he was very angry, he was not just angry that he couldn't do anything, but he also felt that what Ji Sheng said was right.

Tang Xi was a little helpless, and seemed to wave his hand a little crazy in front of others: "I want to go back and think about it first, don't come over." ”

Ji Sheng looked at the back of him leaving, and also felt inexplicably uncomfortable. When I turned around, I saw Qu still walking up.

Qu still said: "We lied to him like this, is it really good......"

"Taking into account the overall situation, I think, he will understand later." Ji Sheng said.

Qu still looked at him, didn't speak, and thought to himself, what if it was her? Would he have said it with such peace of mind? Consider the big picture......

She shuddered.

At night, Ah Chen brought a bowl of sweet jujube porridge and knocked on Tang Xi's door, because no one opened the door and no one responded, Ah Chen was a little worried, and with a little strength, he pushed Tang Xi's door open.

just saw Tang Xi sitting on the chair with a dull gaze, she had known Tang Xi for so many years, and at most she had seen him drunk and angry, but she had never seen him lose his soul like this.

She smiled bitterly, he was drunk and lost his temper, it seemed that it was also because of Niantong, when he was in Yangzhou.

Her fearless brother Tang Xi, who doesn't care about anything, where has she gone now? It was Nian Tong, the friend she was the best and the first to meet, who changed the senior brother Tang Xi she liked.

Ah Chen didn't think much about it, put the sweet jujube porridge on the table, walked to Tang Xi's side, squatted down, and called out with worry and helplessness in his eyes: "Brother Tang Xi." ”

As she expected, Tang Xi didn't answer her, and he didn't even turn his gaze.

"Brother Tang Xi, I made your favorite sweet jujube porridge, it's very sweet, do you want to drink a little?" Seeing that Tang Xi didn't speak, Chen Mengyun continued, "You didn't come to dinner just now, I'm worried, how can you not eat or drink?" ”
