Bai Yong listened for a long time, and when he saw the shopkeeper walking away, he entered Zhou Jingyang's room.

"Hasn't Yan Kui woken up yet?" Zhou Jingyang asked.

"I drank a few more glasses at noon, and I was still asleep", Bai Ji sat at the table and poured himself a glass of wine. "You haven't asked what the girl's name is?"

Zhou Jingyang was extremely remorseful, patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I forgot, I'll ask now." ”

Bai Yong picked up the wine glass and said, "Don't pretend, you are such a strict person, how can someone forget their name." Tell me, what's the point? ”

Zhou Jingyang smiled stupidly: "I can't hide it from you, in this troubled world, everyone is in danger, the Sword Guard Villa is protected by the royal family, and the people in the rivers and lakes dare not discuss it in private." I felt that something was wrong from the moment I entered the shop, and a person who begged for a life like this according to common sense should have been modest and cautious, but this person saw that I was not afraid, and he also told the whole story of the Sword Guarding Villa. In this remote place, Sword Guard Villa is the sky, how can there be no eyeliner. I just tested the shopkeeper, and I guessed that it should be someone from Sword Guarding Villa, I didn't inquire about the girl's name, but deliberately leaked a flaw to Gongyi Wanzong, so that he knew that I was aware of his surveillance. ”

Now that you know, why did you have to play such a trick just now?

"If you don't act, how can you make the shopkeeper believe that I don't know his identity?" Zhou Jingyang said.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Zhou Jingyang called him into the house, and the person who came was none other than Yan Kui.

Zhou Jingyang asked, did you find out? Yan Kui handed him a small note and told him that after the shopkeeper went out, he ordered one person to go to the Sword Guarding Villa.

After the shopkeeper left the door of Zhou Jingyang's room, he really sent someone to tell Gongyi Wanzong what had just happened, and Gongyi Wanzong knew that Zhou Jingyang knew that Shopkeeper was his own person when he heard the news from the person. Let someone tell Xiao Er that there is no need to talk too much with Zhou Jingyang, he has been exposed, and he can send more people to monitor closely from afar.

Yan Kui did not sleep soundly in the house, and Zhou Jingyang discussed with him that he should pretend to be a beggar and inquire about the news of Sword Protector Villa in the market. People who run around for a full meal every day will take care of the royal family and the temple, and tell the stuttering ancestral graves of their own ancestors, and the secrets of the Sword Protector Villa are nothing.

Zhou Jingyang opened the note sent by Yan Kui, and after reading it, he gave it to Bai Yong.

"Pei Xiangmei, good name! There is a banshee and beautiful, Pei Hui Xiangshuimei", Zhou Jingyang said.

Bai Yi asked puzzledly: "Why do you want Gongyi Wanzong to know that you already know about his secret stake?" Isn't it good to keep it hidden? The enemy is in the shadows, and I am in the dark."

Zhou Jingyang explained to Bai Yong the reason why he did this, first of all, he wanted to let Gongyi Wanzong know that he was not the reckless man he had seen; Secondly, Gongyi Wanzong knew that after the secret pile was exposed, he no longer dared to act unscrupulously, and the more intelligent and yin he became, the more he could attract the attention of the other party, and it would be convenient for Yan Kui and Bai Yong to act later; Again, doing this by himself is not for Gongyi Wanzong to see, but for the people in Jun'an City.

"Presumably, at this time, the fast horse going to the second prince of Jun'an City is already on the way," Zhou Jingyang said with confidence.

Bai Yong asked, "What should I do next?" ”

"Wait..."

In terms of scheming, Zhou Jingyang is a hundred times better than himself, and Zhou Jingyang treats him like a family member, so as long as it is what Zhou Jingyang says, he will do it with all his might, even if he doesn't tell himself the reason, Bai Yong will go back to the room and wait.

One day, two days, three days... Zhou Jingyang didn't do anything in the past few days, drinking and sleeping in the inn all day long.

On the fourth day, Bai Yong couldn't wait any longer, and asked Zhou Jingyang when he would have to wait.

Zhou Jingyang said: "It's almost fast! ”

On the fifth day, Zhou Jingyang came to Bai Yong's room and saw Bai Yong staring at the hairpin in his hand in a daze, Zhou Jingyang smiled: "This woman doesn't know that there is such a person as you, you are so affectionate, as if you miss your own mother." What if this woman has a lover, or if she doesn't like you? ”

Bai Yong saw Zhou Jingyang come to hide the hairpin and asked, "Don't you have to wait?" ”

Zhou Jingyang nodded and said, "Yes." ”

When he first went down to Yao Mountain, Gui Chengxuan gave Zhou Jingyang two carrier pigeons, which were raised alone in Ruihan Pavilion. Zhou Jingyang used a carrier pigeon to inquire about the news from Gui Chengxuan, he never thought that it would be so slow, and today the carrier pigeon returned, and Zhou Jingyang came to Bai Yong's room.

This week, Jingyang inquired about Pei Xiangmei and her mother, Gongyi and elegant, because these two people were not from the rivers and lakes or temples, after Gui Chengxuan received the letter, he temporarily sent someone to investigate.

The news brought back by the carrier pigeon surprised Zhou Jingyang, but this news may be the best news for Bai Yong.

At that time, Gongyi Wanzong's sister Gongyi was elegant and generous, and the country was beautiful and moving. At that time, Gongyi Wanzong had just taken over the Sword Villa, thinking that he would marry his sister to court officials or famous families in the rivers and lakes, so as to make allies for the Sword Villa.

Unexpectedly, this Gongyi was elegant but fell in love with a poor scholar surnamed Pei, and Gongyi Wanzong persuaded his sister to let him consider the future of the Gongyi family after discovering it. At that time, Gongyi Xianya had fallen into love, and when she heard this, she secretly eloped with the scholar, and later became pregnant with a child. Gongyi Wanzong sent people to track down the whereabouts of the two, and when they found it, the child was already full moon.

Originally, Gongyi Wanzong wanted to kill the scholar and bring back his sister and the child to raise by himself, but his sister forced him to die and had no choice but to let the two go. After all, it was his sister, and he couldn't bear to kill the killer, so he put the two under house arrest in the Sword Protector Villa, not allowed to go out, and ordered someone to guard it.

Originally, there was nothing to do, but after three years, although Gongyi Xianya's family was under house arrest in the villa, they did not lack food and clothing, and they enjoyed it.

It's just that this scholar is a little arrogant, always thinking that he can go out and break out of the world, and repeatedly begging Gongyi Wanzong to let him go out, but he all came back. Gongyi Wanzong said that his sister was married to such a wretch, and he was afraid that people in the rivers and lakes would laugh at the Sword Villa, so he would not let him go out to meet people, let alone let people know about it.

Gradually, the scholar became resentful, Gongyi Xianya naturally knew, and every time he patiently comforted, this scholar loved Gongyi Xianya deeply, and endured it silently for her and her daughter.

One night, the scholar wanted to sneak out to have a look, and slipped out while he was asleep with the guard. Since entering this Sword Guardian Villa, except for the place where he was under house arrest, the scholars didn't know where the gate of the Sword Protector Villa was opened.

accidentally crashed into Gongyi Wanzong's bedroom, and found that Gongyi Wanzong had robbed the tomb and returned. Digging people's ancestral graves, let the people of the rivers and lakes know about this, and the Sword Protector Villa was destroyed. The scholar fled back when he saw Gongyi Wanzong's fierce face, and Gongyi Wanzong chased him to the door, threatening the scholar with a knife, but he didn't think about killing him. But this scholar scolded loudly, and the public ceremony was shameless, which disgraced the ancestors. Gongyi Wanzong was furious, and a sword pierced the scholar's chest.

After the scholar was hit by the sword, he turned around and pushed the door open, and saw Gongyi elegantly lighting the lamp and standing at the door of the bedroom, the scholar smiled and fell to the ground and died.

Gongyi gracefully hugged her husband's corpse and cried bitterly, but did not make a sound, for fear of waking up the three-year-old Pei Xiangmei.

Early the next morning, the servants found the bodies of Gongyi Xianya and the scholar surnamed Pei in the well. Gongyi Wanzong ordered someone to pick it up, looked at his sister's corpse, Gongyi Wanzong beat his chest in a fake way, and was grief-stricken, and the servants who attracted him sighed that his brother and sister were deeply affectionate, and later merged the two to bury him. In order to lie to Pei Xiangmei, he said that his parents died of a serious illness, but then it gradually spread.

The people in the rivers and lakes did not laugh at Gongyi Wanzong's sister for marrying a poor scholar, but praised her for being lenient and open-minded. Gongyi Wanzong never felt guilty, and later adopted Pei Xiangmei, and the people in the rivers and lakes even said that he had a mind of heaven and earth. Slowly, these fame spread to the court, and only then did Gongyi Wanzong have the opportunity to contact the royal family.

Pei Xiangmei didn't know the cause of death of his suicide parents, and although he had the name of a young lady after being adopted, he was bullied by Gongyi Zuoyin and Gongyi Jingshu. The siblings often scolded her wild child and said that her mother had ruined the reputation of Sword Guard. As soon as he heard these words, he was taught by the people in the villa, and Gongyi Wanzong knew that this matter was not stopped.

Even after suffering such humiliation, Gongyi Wanzong still restricted Pei Xiangmei's freedom and did not allow him to go out easily. But Pei Xiangmei always sneaked out, and every time she came back, she would fight alone, and after the fight, Wanzong told her to be grateful, if it weren't for herself, Pei Xiangmei might starve to death on the side of the road.

But Gongyi Wanzong knew in his heart that his father passed on the Sword Guard Villa to him back then, but he gave Gongyi Xianya a lot of money, which was swallowed by this uncle, but now he said such shameless words.

Later, as he grew older, this Pei Xiangmei became more and more beautiful, with the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, Gongyi Wanzong had another idea, since he was on the royal family, and the second prince was greedy for beauty, why not dedicate Pei Xiangmei to the second prince.

In the past few years, Pei Xiangmei has not been restricted from traveling, and he has also ordered people to purchase good rouge gouache, the purpose is to let the world know Pei Xiangmei's beauty, and it is best to spread it to the royal family of Daliang, so as not to send it to him deliberately.

Poor Pei Xiangmei thought that his uncle was full of joy and remorse for all his past remorse, but he didn't know that his uncle regarded himself as a gift and wanted to give it to the emperor and princes.

A few days ago, he traveled to the water township, Pei Xiangmei's beauty has amazed everyone, and the second prince has known that there is such a beauty, and ordered Gongyi Wanzong to personally send the beauty to Jun'an City. With such an excellent opportunity to meet the royal family, Gongyi Wanzong naturally had to make adequate preparations, and he didn't want to kill Zhou Jingyang halfway. He didn't dare to act rashly, on the one hand, he sent someone to inform the second prince, and on the other hand, he inquired about Zhou Jingyang's identity and closely monitored him to see what he wanted.

When Bai Yong heard what happened to Pei Xiangmei, he clenched his fists, filled his chest with anger, and was about to grab the door with his sword, but Yan Kui blocked the way outside the door.
