【Thousands β™‚ of Γ· small β†’ said β—‡ .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Chu Ning's subconscious reaction was to hide her face that she couldn't eat, if she didn't want anyone in the world to see what she was looking like now, it must be Ji Chongguang.

But Ji Chongguang was now a foot in front of her, and he seemed to be completely accustomed to the darkness, clasping her cheeks with both hands, and rubbing his thumb lightly against the outline of her facial features, as if Fang had just read the words on a bamboo slip with his fingers, but more carefully.

Chu Ning put her heart sideways, anyway, now she is a chef, even if Ji Chongguang thinks it's ugly, it's also a chef's ugly, and it has nothing to do with her. Thinking about it like this, the whole person relaxed, and simply touched Ji Chongguang without saying a word.

I don't know how he was so interested in a cook, his fingers wandering over her face repeatedly, crawling around like little insects. Chu Ning was most afraid of itching, and he didn't dare to laugh out loud, for fear that Ji Chongguang would recognize his voice, so he couldn't bear it so much that his expression was distorted.

With a faint starlight, she seemed to see the corners of Ji Chongguang's mouth move, and she vaguely seemed to show a little playful smile. Chu Ningdi's instinct was that he was dazzled, Ji Chongguang would never smile like this, but when he thought about it, he was a little angry, he could laugh at a cook with an ugly face, and he touched someone's cheeks with both hands, it was really bad to touch it for so long.

Chu Ning's heart was full of contradictory thoughts, not only disgusted that he couldn't recognize himself pretending to be a cook, but fortunately he didn't know who the cook in front of him was, and in his thoughts, he saw Ji Chongguang tilt his head and lean in the direction where he was.

Here's what to do...... Chu Ning's eyes widened in disbelief, it seemed that his eye disease was really serious, and even such an ugly cook could endure it.

Before she could react, a timid female voice suddenly came from the door: "Heavy light......

Ji Chongguang's movements stopped suddenly, and Chu Ning took this opportunity to break free like a slippery fish. With just two words, she heard it, it was Yunle who followed from Dongqi.

Yunle screamed, but the person stood at the door and didn't come in, until Ji Chongguang returned to the room and said a cold "um", she stepped in cautiously. In the past, the princess who was favored in the palace of Eastern Qi only wore a plain light shirt at this time, her hair was loosely tied behind her back, and she had no jewelry at all, because Ji Chongguang didn't like those cumbersome things, and she would be unhappy every time she saw it.

In fact, since she followed Ji Chongguang, she hadn't seen him happy, he always looked cold, although his facial features were still handsome and handsome, but that face now scared her more.

Yun Le was not very accustomed to the dark environment, stretched out a hand and groped his way in, felt that the window was open, and looked out of the window a few times strangely.

Ji Chongguang seemed to be very impatient, pulled her wrist, and threw her on the bed next to her, and at the same time, with a wave of his arm, the window collapsed, isolating Chu Ning, who was a chef, from outside.

I couldn't see anything, I could only vaguely hear Yun Le make a delicate call, Chu Ning suddenly felt so boring, he didn't know what he was here for, turned around and kicked away a small pebble, and slowly walked back in the direction of the dining room.

In the room she couldn't see, Ji Chongguang and Yun Le sat face to face, Yun Le's eyes showed fear, and the crescent-shaped scar forcibly transplanted from Chu Ning shook gently with her trembling movements.

After a while, Jun Wang also came in, still looking like he was angry with a book, and asked Ji Chongguang, "What's the matter?" Still not successful? ”

Ji Chongguang stretched out a hand and pressed it on Yun Le's side face, and a light flashed quickly on the crescent moon, but it soon dimmed again. He shook his head: "No, I've tried so many times, maybe the method you told me is completely wrong." ”

"No," Jun Wang replied confidently, "No one knows Jiuding better than me, half of what was lost in the palace of the royal capital back then, half of it was on you, and half of it was in this scar." I have seen that little girl was just born, when she was born, there was no scar on her face, the only possible explanation is that the scar was a ban set by Su Tianxin, used to seal the part of the Jiuding power she took away. ”

He showed an encouraging smile at Ji Chongguang, regardless of whether Ji Chongguang could see it or not, he said calmly: "Try again, maybe this time it will be successful." Get the complete power of Jiuding, not to mention the position of King Jin, the whole world can be yours. ”

The day of the festival is approaching day by day, and Chu Ning is thinking in her heart that if she is Mrs. Li, she will definitely find a way to kill Ji Chongguang before the festival. The calmer it is, the more it shows that Madame Li is planning to make a bigger move.

According to the customs of the Jin Kingdom, the day before the festival, dinner must end before dark, and after dark, all the people who participate in the festival are not allowed to eat anything. On this night, everyone can only rest for a short time, and then they have to get up early before dawn, bathe and change clothes, and rush to the festival site.

Ji Chongguang originally selected a cook to prepare the cattle and sheep to be used in the sacrifice for him, but the man was inexplicably sick, vomiting and diarrhea, and was afraid of staining the sacrifices used in the sacrifice, so he had to temporarily change someone. chose to choose, and chose Chu Ning, and indicated that she would also go to the festival site together.

Compared with the Eastern Qi Dynasty, the Jin people were fierce, and the process of sacrifice was much more primitive, and a large number of livestock were used to pray to the ancestors for protection.

Mrs. Li and the Xun clan occupied the long pavilion on the rightmost side, and Ji Chongguang and Jing's people occupied the long pavilion on the leftmost side of the pavilion. The two clusters of people were facing each other from a distance, posing in a posture similar to confrontation.

Chu Ning followed a tall and fat priest and tied the whole cow and sheep with red cloth. The animals had been fed drowsiness in advance, but the dosage had been reduced so that they remained awake but had no strength to struggle, so as not to disturb their ancestors.

When the sky was slightly bright, both sides were almost ready. Chu Ning glanced at Jing's seat, and sat beside Jing Huan with his hands down. Before everything is decided, Forget Worry is still the mastermother of the Jing family, and this kind of occasion must be attended, but it seems that Jing Huan used magic to control her hands so that she would not escape.

Chu Ning was trying to see if Jing Yuanyi or He Zhen had appeared, and the ceremonial officials sent from the palace of the King of Jin had already begun to fill the side of the altar with hay to light the fire.

When the time was up, the sound of trumpets sounded on all sides of the altar at the same time, and the celebrant of the ceremony raised a torch to light the hay on one side of the altar.

Chu Ning suddenly smelled an unusual smell, and when he looked down, he saw that the brown-black oil was bubbling under his feet, and around Ji Chongguang and Jing's seats, it had already meandered into a stream of water.

It was the fire oil, which was sometimes used at festivals in the Eastern Qi to ensure that the flame on the altar would not be extinguished. However, the oil should not appear on the guests' seats anyway, and the only possibility is that someone will take the opportunity of lighting the flames at the festival to kill Ji Chongguang.

Chu Ning didn't think about it, so he jumped up and rushed towards the place where Ji Chongguang was kneeling. The audience was silent, she couldn't speak, and she collided with the festival, which was not only an unforgivable felony, but also attracted the hatred of the whole Jin Kingdom. She thought that Ji Chongguang had always been alert and suspicious, as long as he sensed that something was wrong, she believed that he would be able to think of the ins and outs and ways to deal with it quickly.

But she had only walked a few steps away, and she was stopped by an expressionless wooden face, and the sword in Gui Mei's hand was unceremoniously pointed at her throat, preventing her from continuing forward.

Chu Ning was full of anxiety, and wanted to tell her, Sister Gui, if you stop me again, the master you are dedicated to defending will be dead.

But Gui Mei's temperament of not being in oil and salt is not a day or two, as long as Chu Ning moves slightly, the tip of the sword in her hand immediately follows like a little snake.

At this moment, the ceremonial official who presided over the festival threw the torch in his hand on the position used to light the flame, and the flames rose into the air, and countless sparks flew in all directions.

The black "stream" that meandered at his feet was connected to the altar in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a fiery dragon, surrounding the people sitting on the side of Ji Chongguang.

As a result of the sudden change, the festival could not be carried out smoothly.

Chu Ning's heart was anxious, and the familiar heat appeared on her arm again, she raised her hand to remove Gui Mei's sword, and suddenly felt like she had thrown something out, and when she came back to her senses, Gui Mei's hand holding the sword had been released, and the short sword fell to the ground, Gui Mei covered her arm, and her face, which seemed to never have any expression, showed a look of disbelief.

The obstacle in front of him was removed, Chu Ning couldn't think about the cause and effect, and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to see how Ji Chongguang was. In fact, the change has happened, and Ji Chongguang, who is in the middle of the sea of fire, should know no matter what. But Chu Ning was so anxious that he even forgot about this layer, and just walked forward quickly, not knowing what he tripped under his feet, and fell forward.

As far as the eye could see, the hem of a black robe, embroidered with gold thread and curly moire, trembled slightly with the sound of the hunting wind. Ji Chongguang has never been willing to put more thought into trivial matters such as clothing consumption, and the decorations on his clothes have not changed for more than ten years, so Chu Ning recognized it at a glance.

Chu Ning raised his head, looked up along the black robe, and saw that under the light of the fire, Ji Chongguang lowered his eyes coldly, like looking down on a humble servant, looking down at Chu Ning who was prostrate on the ground, looking at each other, but he didn't say a word.
