Yan Mo, the monarch of the Yin Kingdom, sat in the hall, looking at the pieces in his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

During the brief period of peace, the courtiers always liked to mention inconsequential things to show their importance, some of which really needed attention, and some of which looked like they were mentally retarded over time.

He was about to share with the Taishi, looked up and looked around, but didn't see the person he wanted to see, and frowned slightly at the people from Yanmo Temple on the side: "What about the Taishi?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Taishi has just left." The temple people cautiously reminded that it was getting late, and generally the Taishi would not stay in the palace overnight.

Suddenly remembered that the Taishi had only retired half an hour ago, and he turned his head and forgot.

He pursed his lips and suddenly played a little trick: "These twists and turns are stinky and long, and the more you look at them, the more annoying they become." ”

The temple man did not say much, but stepped aside, only to see the king suddenly get up and step over the desk and walk outside.

Seeing this, the temple people hurriedly picked up the shoes on the ground and leaned over to catch up: "Your Majesty, your golden shoes!" ”

Yan Mo stood at the gate of the palace, looking up at the full moon hanging in the sky like a jade plate, the night was pleasant, and the wind could make people sober up a lot.

Thinking of Taishi, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a satisfied smile, if this person wins the world, perhaps...... He is his own world.

Thinking of the great drought in the country of Yin many years ago, the people were not able to make a living, and its monarch King Yunyu sacrificed in Mount Tai, and after asking for rain to no avail, he was angry and blasphemous. Then nightmares often appeared, he was in a trance, and he gradually became powerless about the affairs of the court.

Although King Yin Yu was frequently disturbed by nightmares, fortunately, he joined the army in his early years, and his body was relatively strong, and he was tired to support this dynasty that had begun to turmoil.

However, the state of Yin has experienced the deposition of the crown prince three times, and the current crown prince is afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, and is determined to use the nightmare of his father to frame other princes with witchcraft.

The sixth prince, Yan Mo, was shocked by the prince's intentions and asked his mentor Shen Zhou for help. Obey Shen Zhou's strategy, send his henchmen to make puppets to curse King Yinyu, and bury him near the prince's palace, and treat his body with his own way, and then lead King Yinyu to suspicion.

The prince was calm on the surface, but he was panicked and annoyed in his heart, so he planned to kill the sixth prince Yan Mo, and Shen Zhou, who learned the news, secretly invited King Yin Yu to Yan Mo's mansion for a detailed discussion in the name of finding a miracle doctor who could cure nightmares.

As a result, the unwitting prince with his soldiers surrounded Yan Mo's internal affairs office, and under the provocation of Shen Zhou and Yan Mo singing and harmonizing, King Yin Yu mistakenly thought that the prince was going to rebel, and then sent a distress signal to the guards and sent troops to suppress it.

The prince was defeated and fled, and was later wanted and forced to commit suicide, the prince's mother was deposed as a concubine, and the others were exiled to the army.

After this incident, Shen Zhou was named a first-class master, and the country of Yin gradually became smoother, and there was no need to worship the rain god in a big way.

After King Yu's body suddenly deteriorated, when he was conscious, under the recommendation of the prince, King Yin Yu changed the sixth prince Yan Mo as the crown prince, King Yin Yu returned to heaven due to illness a year later, and Yan Mo successfully ascended the throne.

At this time, a temple person came to report: "Your Majesty, Qu Guo sent a reply letter, in response to the appointment of the Hundred Flowers Festival, the Qu State mission will leave tomorrow, promising to arrive in the territory of the country three days before the Hundred Flowers Festival." ”

"That's very good." Such a major matter will be discussed again with the Taishi tomorrow.

Wearing a gold-patterned black robe, half a gilded face to hide his face, noble and noble, this is the Taishi of the State of Xun - Shen Zhou, the first important minister of the dynasty, the treasure of the royal capital.

He walked out of the palace and got on the chariot to return home, guessing that China should also return.

Back at the Taishi Mansion, the group of people had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and when they saw Shen Zhou coming back, everyone greeted him.

Passing through the two rows, he walked over to the main seat and sat down, looking at them quietly.

"Your Highness......"

As soon as this title came out, Shen Zhou's eyes were slightly raised, and the other party immediately realized that he had shouted wrong, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and shrank his body.

"Taishi." China stood up, clenched his fists at Shen Zhou, and began to report what he had seen and heard in the market today.

After listening to this, Shen Zhou nodded thoughtfully: "You are a wise man of the princes and countries, if there are no special circumstances, don't leave at will, it's good to have a red here." ”

He planned to let China go to Gufeng Mountain to accompany Xi to say goodbye as planned.

The crowd was commanded: "Yes!" ”

Then everyone began to retreat and go back to prepare, but only China remained.

"Something?" Shen Zhou glanced at it lightly and poured himself a cup of tea.

Cina closed all the doors and windows, and casually laid down the barrier again, before returning to him with confidence.

"Your Highness, my subordinates seem to have seen ...... in the downtown today should be in the brook of Gufeng Mountain, with the prince of the previous demon clan. China, clasped his hands into fists, and said with some hesitation.

Hearing this, Shen Zhou put down the tea cup on his lips and asked coldly: "Are you sure?" ”

Chi Na thought for a moment and replied, "My subordinate is very sure that he has seen Bo Qing, but the woman next to him is a mortal who looks almost exactly like Xi Ci, and his subordinate thinks that there should be no such coincidence. ”

Chi Na is not as good as himself, Shen Zhou got up after thinking about it and passed by Chi Na, and opened the door: "I'll go to Gufeng Mountain to have a look." ”

After that, he left China in the mortal world, and flew to Gufeng Mountain alone to confirm the truth.

Inn.

Xi Ci carried the silver taels on his back, climbed the fence in the night, and carefully moved down the pillar in an attempt to escape from the shop, and then used the silver in his hand to buy a carriage and escape back to Gufeng Mountain.

Bo Qing seemed to have something important to deal with urgently, and had to leave, and it was inconvenient to take her, so he told the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper to look at Xi Ci and not let her leave the door for half a step, so she had to climb the pillar over the porch and leave.

She slid down the polished pillar, and instead of falling to the ground as she had hoped, she fell into a carriage.

patted the gray eyes on his body and saw that there were several girls of the same age as him in the car, and the pear blossoms and the rain stared at themselves falling from the sky with a stunned expression.

"I'm ...... Coming to the wrong place? Xi Ci asked stunned.

Suddenly, a man with a fierce face stretched out his head and startled Xi Ci, with a stunning light in his eyes: "God help me!" It seems that I will be able to get a good price tonight and get rich overnight! ”

Xi Ci suddenly realized that the situation was wrong, and wanted to climb out from the top of a hole he had just fallen out of, but the fierce man quickly grabbed her ankle and pulled her down.

The fierce man stopped the carriage, pounced on Xi Ci, and took out a knife in a vain attempt to put it on her neck, during which Xi Ci tried to dodge, but the knife had no eyes and injured the innocent woman next to her, but fortunately it was only a skin injury, and it was no big deal.

Thinking that he was an unscrupulous villain, Xi Ci, who was originally at home with his fists and feet, suddenly did not dare to move, for fear that the other party would hurt people again, and the fierce man pulled out a rope from nowhere to tie Xi Ci up.

finally escaped from the hands of Bo Qing and fell into the hands of others, so unlucky that he couldn't cry or laugh, what did he do wrong, and he had to bear the hardships that he shouldn't bear at this age.

The carriage traveled for a while, and finally stopped, and the fierce man dragged the girls in the carriage out of the carriage one by one.

Xi Ci looked up at Yingge Building, which was no different from the Ghost Domain Flower Building, and suddenly missed the profiteer of Shen Zhou, maybe he would never have the opportunity to meet such a handsome shopkeeper in his life.

Standing at the door and resisting stubbornly, she was pushed in without tears, and the old bustard of Yingge Lou waited at the door early, just to see how the girl sent this time looked.

In order not to be looked down upon, Xi Ci deliberately made a grimace, and then sat on the ground with cramps in his hands and feet.

The posture is quite ugly, but it was seen through at a glance, and the old bustard glanced at Xi Ci, who had a clumsy acting skill, and said to the fierce-looking man: "I want this too, the temperament should be quite stubborn, cheaper." ”

"Where do you find such a peerless beauty? You don't want me to ask other people to go! The fierce-looking man said that he was going to drag Xici away.

The old bustard hurriedly stopped him, and unwillingly stuffed him with a gold ingot or two, and said, "Take it, take your dirty hands from her, it's mine!" ”

After that, she confiscated the ten ingots of silver that Xi Ci got from the pledge warehouse today, and Xi Ci had an idea and shouted: "Can't I take my money and redeem myself?" ”

"What's yours and mine? What's yours is mine! The old bustard said disapprerovingly.

Such a domineering and shameless woman, Xi Ci looked at her in shock, and her upper and lower teeth grinded "popping".

This is the first time Xi Ci has been robbed of someone, and she was so excited that she almost shouted that her father cried, after all, it is not a good thing to be robbed in this situation.

The bustard arranged for a few thin miscellaneous girls to wash her well, and almost shed a layer of skin on her body before sending her back to the room.

Just after freshening up, Xi Ci has not yet eased up, and the old bustard led a pot-bellied uncle into the room, and introduced it colorfully: "This is a new girl, a chick, Lord Wang just rest assured, it's just money ......."

When the uncle saw Xici, his eyes lit up and said: "Money is not a problem, but today's matter ......"

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, keep your mouth tight!" The old bustard replied with a trembling smile.

Saying that, he threw the money bag to the old bustard, and the old bustard couldn't wait to open it, it was actually two ingots of gold, and he had just given the dealer a price, and it seemed that the price would have to be raised tomorrow.

With that, the bustard withdrew, and closed the door with him, leaving only the two of them.

Xi Ci tried to calm himself down and learned the posture of the red-faced ghosts: "Uncle, do you want to talk to your heart?" ”

"The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, just order it!" The uncle began to undress.

Xi Ci looked at him dumbfounded, this is different from being in Hualou!

While the other party was immersed in undressing, she picked up the flask on the table and smashed it his head.

I never thought that he would quickly block it, and said with a greasy face: "I like strong temperament, so it's interesting!" ”

"I see!" Creek resigned.

The uncle's clothes were almost faded, so he stretched out his claws to Xi Ci, who twisted his hand behind his back and pressed it on the table to restrain it.

Then he kicked the armpit behind the uncle's knee twice, and when the uncle reflexively knelt down, his chin hit the table and he fainted with a mouthful of blood.

Xi Ci walked to the door, inserted the bolt of the door, used the uncle's own belt, tied the uncle's hands behind his back, and then ripped off a strip of cloth to wrap the other party's mouth, and then walked to the bed and lay down.

Lying on the bed, she really didn't have the strength to escape, she was tired today, and she would make plans tomorrow, thinking like this, she turned over and fell asleep.

In her sleep, she saw the flowery and quiet lake again, and still saw the woman who was not her but looked like her reflected on the surface of the lake.

Xi Ci saw her hanging her head and crying, and the despair in her eyes made Xi Ci's heart hurt.

Suddenly feeling a little moist on her cheeks, she raised her hand to caress it, and found that she was crying......

"Knock knock!" A sharp slamming of the door woke Xi Ci from his sleep.

She sat up and stretched, and the uncle on the ground, whose mouth was covered in blood, was looking at her in horror.

Xi Ci thought of something at this time, and hurriedly untied the uncle: "I'm sorry, I forgot to sleep!" ”

Having apologies for mortals is a habit for many years for immortals, and the hall master has always taught everyone to remember the delicate nature of the human race, not to bully the weak with the strong, and to get used to forgiving the innate bad roots of the human race, just as the habit of the god race is omnipotent, and the accompanying self-righteousness.

The uncle, who had been loosened, couldn't speak with a mouth full of blood, but just retreated like a monster, and Xi Ci reluctantly got up and opened the door.

As soon as the old bustard entered the door and saw the uncle with a mouth full of blood, he was angry, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped Xici: "You slut, you actually treat Lord Wang like this!" ”

"It's he who said he likes to be strong!" Regardless of the humiliation of being beaten for the first time, she just wanted to defend herself for the first time.

The old bustard didn't want to listen to her explanation, but first appeased the king to leave.

Before leaving, the bustard glanced at the two thugs who were slamming the door together, and they walked into Xici's room and closed the door......
