This Yudu City was originally like a pool of stagnant water that no one dared to move, but the news that Qi Lu personally brought a woman back spread throughout Yudu City in less than half an hour.

No one knows who this woman is.

Everyone wants to know if they can use this woman to stir up this stagnant pool of Yudu.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves, and a leaf falls to know the autumn of the world.

The pool of water has moved.

I am afraid that such peaceful days will not last long.

Within a radius of 100 miles outside the city, there is a small village that is quiet and peaceful. In a small courtyard on the east side of the village, an old man with white hair and kind eyes is teaching a few children to read and write.

A snow-white carrier pigeon flew into the courtyard silently, standing by the window and making a "cooing" sound, the old man's right ear moved slightly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"Children, let's start today's lesson."

The children cheered when they heard the old man's words, laughed and said goodbye to the old man, and then left one after another.

After the children left, the old man went to the window and took down the note on the pigeon's leg, then rolled it up and held it into his palm, and the note instantly turned into ashes.

The old man put the carrier pigeon back into the sky, went back to the house, took off the coarse cloth clothes of the countryside, changed into a green coat and a long shirt, wrote a note and pasted it on the wooden fence outside the courtyard.

"When the gentleman goes out of the house, don't read it".

After everything was cleaned up, the old man walked out of the courtyard without hurry, looked back at the clean and tidy yard, nodded with satisfaction, stroked his snow-white long beard, and then took the courtyard door with his hand.

The moment the courtyard door closed, the old man's figure had disappeared, and only a cyan shadow flashed and swept towards the direction of the imperial city.

At the same time, Lu and Jin Yu had come to a bustling street, lined with all kinds of restaurants and shops, and the front of the shops was crowded with loud hawkers, and people came and went very lively.

The shy and timid young lady led the maid to stand in front of the rouge gouache stall and picked her eyes, the old servant in coarse cloth and green clothes squatted in front of the vegetable stall to bargain, and the uncared hawker was shouting hard.

This is like the most magnificent and prosperous Yudu in the world.

When Jin Yu saw such a scene for the first time, she naturally felt very novel, and she couldn't walk anymore when she looked left and right along the way. Ritsu walked all the way forward intently, and finally stopped in front of a shop called Tongbao Yinhao.

There were only three or two guests in the shop who were whispering something to the shopkeeper, and the two walked through the main hall and entered the backyard through a small door on the side, and the shopkeeper glanced up at the two of them and then lowered his head and continued to greet the guests.

The shop doesn't look big, but after passing through the small door, it is different. There is a small courtyard behind the door, a stone pavilion in the courtyard, a remnant in the pavilion, and the stone pavilion is surrounded by purple iris in full bloom. There is a hut on each side of the small courtyard on three sides, which just encloses the iris field in the middle, which is well organized and very quiet and elegant.

There was only one old servant in the courtyard who was watering the flowers, his movements were a little slow, and his ears didn't seem to be very bright, and it wasn't until Lu and Jin Yu walked behind him that he noticed that someone was coming.

The old servant turned around, saw Lu and said hello, and then looked Jin Yu up and down suspiciously.

"You can live here in peace, you can choose one of the east and west wings at will, I will live in the north, and I will tell Uncle Tong if you need anything."

After Lu finished speaking to Jin Yan, he lowered his head and whispered a few words to the old servant, Uncle Tong looked at Jin Yan, nodded slightly, and asked the girl how hello.

Jin Yu looked left and right, and finally chose the east chamber, and the old servant took her burden and two weapons, and went to clean up the room. Jin Yu walked around the courtyard, and felt more and more that the courtyard was very cleverly arranged. Although the front yard is the main street, this backyard is very quiet, and it is really a good place to take a break from the hustle and bustle.

"Here? The dignified Taifu of Qi Guo lives in the backyard of the silver horn? ”

The more Jin Yu thought about it, the more strange she felt, and she couldn't help but ask, and she listened to her question and just smiled slightly.

"Many years ago, His Majesty did give me a Taifu Mansion, but accidents often occurred when I was young, and His Majesty specially arranged for me to live in the palace to take care of it, and the mansion has been empty.

Later, when I grew older and took over the Qi family, I moved out of the palace. But the mansion is really bigger, and it is inconvenient for people to be mixed.

So I asked Emperor Jing to take the mansion back and set up such a courtyard, although the place is smaller, but one is convenient, and the other is quiet. ”

"But this silver trumpet is full of people, and it is located in the middle of the city, isn't it even more crowded?"

"This silver trumpet is a place of death, and ordinary people cannot enter. And it's just a place to rest, and there's nothing unsightly, so it's enough to have Uncle Tong take care of me at all times. ”

Jin Yu nodded slightly, it is reasonable to listen to the law, after all, it is just a place to stay, the place is big, it is inevitable that many people will have to take care of it, but there are many people. Such a small courtyard is simple and quiet.

It's just that he is a dignified prince, and he doesn't even have a mansion, and Emperor Jing actually agreed, it seems that this Emperor Jing can be regarded as an enlightened emperor. But also, in the hundred years of the Qi Kingdom, he is the first emperor who has only two concubines in his life.

"You..."

Jin Yu listened to the words of the law, and there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in her mind, which seemed very suspicious, but she was a little hesitant, not knowing if the law would be told the truth.

"If there's anything else, just ask if you want to."

"How many years have you been in Qi Kingdom?"

"I came here when I was five years old, and now it's fifteen years since I counted."

"Fifteen years ... Was that what you were fifteen years ago? ”

"What do you mean?"

"You look like a middle-aged man in your early thirties now, fifteen years ago..."

"Fifteen years ago, I was already like this."

"What?。。。 Then you... You're not an ordinary person, I really didn't guess wrong. ”

"You really didn't guess wrong, I'm not an ordinary person, you're not an ordinary person, and Yan isn't an ordinary person."

“。。。 And what about the others? Emperor Jing, King Xuan, Ye Xiang, they... ”

"You are too careful, they are indeed ordinary people who will grow old, get sick and die."

"Then they ... Didn't I ever doubt you? ”

"Naturally, they have doubts, but doubts are only doubts after all, and they can neither prove it, nor dare they dare to do anything to me easily."

Ritsu's tone was very indifferent, as if immortality was just a trivial matter.

How many of these long and eternal times did he go through?

No wonder, he doesn't seem to care about anything.

But why does he seem to have an almost fanatical paranoia about fate?

Jin Yu looked at the thin lines in the corners of her eyes, and one question after another popped up from her mind. But she didn't ask any of them, because she didn't have to ask and could guess, and Ritsu wouldn't answer her at all.

He would never answer any questions about her past, or those pasts she and he once shared.

“。。。 What about me? Sooner or later I will be ... ”

"You won't have this day."

"You..."

Ritsu's tone suddenly changed when he said this. It was no longer his usual tone, which seemed somewhat barren and indifferent, but with a certain unmistakable firmness.

He must have known something, but he wouldn't tell me.

Although the change in the law was extremely subtle, Jin Yu could hear the difference, and this thought flashed through her mind. But before she could think clearly, another problem arose.

Ritsu's tone changed so slightly, how did she notice it?

Is this kind of keen insight what any ordinary person should have? Despite the fact that she can no longer be called a human being, yet ...

These questions jumped into her mind spontaneously, like an instinct, but she couldn't remember where they came from.

"I want to go out for a walk."

"Go ahead, come back early, don't bring the heavens and the heart, it's too conspicuous."

Ritsu stared at her expression, in fact, he had already seen that she still had many questions in her heart, but she didn't ask any of them.

Because she knew that those questions would not be answered.

She is smart and sensitive, she is taciturn, and she is resolute and decisive.

It's always been her.

It's just that now she is a little like she has returned to her when she was a child, a little ignorant, but much more peaceful, like a confused little beast.

It's just that she never trusted him from the beginning.

But if you think about it, you can't blame her, and who would trust someone who didn't mean to her from the beginning.

Jin Yu nodded, turned around and walked out, but was stopped by Lu again.

"Wait."

“？”

"Your outfit is really eye-catching when you walk on the street, let's go back to the room and change your clothes first, and you can take these broken silver."

"Ah, is this the silver?"

Jin Yu took the purse handed over by Lu and shook it vigorously, and a few shiny heavy pieces of silver fell into her palm. There seems to be a strange smell ... What does the book say?

Oh yes! The smell of copper.

It seems to smell a little, but it's more like the smell of blood, and it's not too bad.

"Yes, you can take these first."

While playing with the silver in her hand, Jin Yu looked down at her clothes, dressed in a black suit. She remembered that when she walked down the street before, she saw those official ladies wearing clothes that seemed to be light and fluttering, no wonder she said that her clothes were really eye-catching.

Compared with those delicate and soft official ladies, she is like a man...

But those light and fluttering gauze clothes are good-looking, but the water sleeves swaying in the wind and the skirt with tassel pendants are too inconvenient.

But what the law said also makes sense, after all, this is Yudu, so it's better not to be too ostentatious and be cautious.

Thinking of this, Jin Yu went back to the room to change into a plain gauze dress, and pulled a bun with her hand. Speaking of which, this dress and hair bun were specially prepared for her by Yanniang a few years ago, and she seemed to have liked these flowing and beautiful clothes at the beginning. But later, whether it was eating, writing, or even sleeping, Yan Niang's sneak attack became commonplace. These things slowly became a burden, and they were all pressed into the bottom of the box by her, and she never thought about them again.

Today, these clothes, hairpins, and jewelry are still as bright as new, but everything is different.

Yan Niang, the more I look at these things, the more I believe that you don't only hate and feel guilty about me.

But what is it that makes you hate me so much that you overshadow all other feelings, and do not hesitate to kill me?

Jin Yu stared intently at the playful and lovely girl in the mirror, and suddenly felt a little strange.

It wasn't until there was a knock outside the door that she came to her senses. She opened the door, it turned out that Uncle Tong came to ask her if she needed to eat, Jin Yu thought about it but shook her head.

There seems to be a restaurant opposite the silver number, and the faint smell of beef smells really good. Jin Yu said hello to Uncle Tong, then closed the door and walked outside.

At the same time, a red figure quietly floated into the largest house in Wuyi Lane.

Speaking of this Wuyi Alley, it is a treasure place where many scholars in the world want to find a place here.

It's obviously a white sky, but it's quiet in this Wuyi Alley, although there are a lot of people coming and going, but once you enter this Wuyi Alley, you deliberately slow down, and you don't even dare to speak too loudly, for fear of noisy those nobles who live in this alley.

Let's talk about the largest house in the middle of the alley, where Ye Shuoguang and Ye Cheng, who live above 10,000 people under one person, the pillar of the Qi country.

Besides, the house opposite Ye Cheng, I heard that it was originally the Taifu Mansion. But later, Taifu seemed to think that the house was too big and was not used to living empty, so he moved out again.

You said that this Taifu is really strange, isn't it good to have a big house, if someone else wants to live in such a big and good house, it is a blessing that cannot be repaired in several lifetimes. As a result, this Taifu was too big, so he moved out, and the house was always empty.

His Majesty Emperor Jing has been in power for almost forty years, and there are only two families living in this Wuyi Alley, Prime Minister Ye and General Zhen.

You ask where is Shang Shulang? Walk all the way to the end, turn right, turn right again, and the two adjacent alleys are called Tsing Yi Lane. This Tsing Yi Alley is full of Shangshu squires, with a total of more than a dozen mansions, although it is not as spacious as the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion.

Further down? Those below the fifth grade are all small officials from other places, so they can only find a post station in the Buyi Lane next door to Tsing Yi Lane.

However, the strong and bewitching red figure didn't seem to care about Wuyi Alley or Rags Alley at all, he flew into the backyard of Ye Mansion with such a loud roar, and what was even more strange was that a stranger broke into Ye Mansion without any scruples, Ye Mansion not only did not mess up, but there were already people waiting in the courtyard.

"See the Lord."

An old man bowed slightly to the man in red, the wide sleeves of his robe covering the old man's face, but his voice did not sound as old and weak as he imagined.

"Okay, don't give me all those useless false gifts, you haven't learned anything else in this Qi country, but you have learned all these useless red tape."

The man in red flicked his sleeves impatiently, and he didn't have any scruples about Prime Minister Ye Cheng, who was above 10,000 people under this person.

That's right, this respectful old man is Ye Shuoguang Ye Cheng, who is above 10,000 people in the current Qi Kingdom, but the man in red is not Emperor Qi Jing, or any noble person in the Qi Kingdom who can get his name by number.

The two sword eyebrows of this red-clothed man are as straight as sharp blades, the eyebrows are neat and hard, the eyes are narrow and the corners of the eyes are raised, and there are a pair of peach blossom eyes that hook people's souls.

It's a pity that the edge in these eyes is too sharp, and it hurts this beautiful eye that is naturally bewitching. Looking down further, the bridge of the nose is straight and towering, the lips are thin and watery, and the corners of the lips seem to be smiling rather than smiling.

An ebony hairpin in the hair casually pulls a head full of white hair, white hair?

Yes, the green silk on the head is all snow, which is really making people beat their chests.

A red robe is loosely tied around the waist, faintly revealing a strong chest, which looks thin but has a clear and just right texture.

It's a pity that it's a man, it's a pity that it's too sharp, but it's a pity that it's extremely public.

It's a shame.
