"As long as you explain who is the mastermind behind it, this king can spare you death." After King Ning saw the letter, he immediately went to the dungeon to interrogate Cangli.

Cangli is still silent, he doesn't know who wrote to him this letter, and one of the first conditions for doing business with people is that you must not sell your employer's information, which is the rule of the rivers and lakes.

Unable to pry open Cangli's mouth, the prince was still very patient, and asked again: "What is the 'here' mentioned in the letter?" Qunfang Yuan is the base of the Kun Hades Palace to collect information and intelligence, and this Cangli can't even say it, but Cangli said: "I first came to your mansion tonight, and the jade must have been lost before I came, since I was arrested by you, the deal with the former employer is considered nullified, but I can make a new deal with you, and I can help you find the jade." ”

"Why should you make this king believe that you are a thief?"

"Then do you want outsiders to believe that Ning Wangfu is reluctant to say that it was stolen, or do you want to get it back?"

Cangli's words King Ning was skeptical, after all, he also sent someone to look for him for more than half a month without results, "Of course I want to find it back." ”

"I can help you get it back, as long as you agree, this deal will take effect immediately." Cangli said very simply, as if she had full certainty.

"If you can really find it, this king can spare your life, if you can't find it or take the opportunity to escape, this king will also use the rules of the rivers and lakes to deal with you."

"Okay, deal."

The deal was reached, and Cangli also learned that the prince had planned to replace the jade with another jade, and he would present it before the sacrifice was carried out tomorrow. In this way, in the case of a large number of people, the real thief will definitely hide in the crowd, and this is Cangli's chance to make a move.

On the third day of March, in addition to the sacrifice to pray for blessings and drive away evil spirits, it is also the time when the people go out to drink and feast on the spring, visit relatives and friends, the sacrifice is arranged in the Phoenix Terrace of Beijiang, in addition to the fresh fruits of the three animals, five grains and six animals, there are special incense offerings and jade, the number of participants in this year's festival is also a lot more than in previous years, most of them want to get a glimpse of the treasure from Penglai Xianzhou.

When the ritual was carried out, Cangli had already been ambushed in a prominent position to observe secretly, and the ordinary people in the crowd could be identified at a glance, but there were also a few people who looked and behaved differently, especially a swordsman, standing in the corner of the crowd, wearing a hat to cover half of his face, with a solemn expression, when Ning Wang Ye presented the jade, although the jade was in a box, the swordsman still deliberately pushed up the brim of the hat and looked very seriously on the stand, after the jade was thrown into the river as a sacrifice, he turned around and left.

Cangli chased after him, and finally found him entering an inn, Cangli stared at a small shop not far from the inn, and after a while the swordsman came out, accompanied by a woman, and there was a grandmother on the woman's side. This woman looks to be in her thirties, her face is completely fat powder-free, her Luo skirt is elegant, and her headgear can be seen to be from the hands of a famous artist, but she is sickly and needs the support of her grandmother when walking.

The woman left the inn and went in the direction of the Phoenix Terrace, and Cangli followed secretly all the way behind, the ceremony of the Phoenix Terrace had ended, the crowd had dispersed, and this place was like the noise of an hour ago. The woman climbed the Phoenix Tower in front of the Phoenix Terrace with the support of her grandmother, and climbed to the wind to see the landscape of half of the city.

Cangli followed all the way, but unexpectedly was discovered by the swordsman, in the corner of the corridor, he was blocked by the swordsman's sword, Cangli used the name of Ning Wangye and said: "Ning Wangye asked me to check the jade, I think you have something to explain." ”

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, a cold light appeared, and the swordsman's sword was unsheathed, "Come and explain to my sword." His eyes were dull, his voice was hoarse, and his sword movement was very clean, and he could see that he was a man in the rivers and lakes, Cangli had no intention of arguing with him, and gently turned sideways to avoid the sword blade, and continued to say to the swordsman: "Hand over the jade, everything still has room to turn." ”

"Delusional!" The swordsman showed a bit of anger in his voice, and immediately waved his sword, and stabbed at the key point of Cangli, what he wanted to protect was the jade in the woman's hand, and he also wanted to win the piece of Ning Wang's Mansion, because this jade was originally a pair.

Just when Cangli and the swordsman were fighting, Ning Wangye came upstairs alone and bumped into the woman, the two looked at each other affectionately, and the prince said: "Zixian, how are you?" And he brought tears to the woman's face.

I saw that the woman shook her head slightly, and then nodded, but she didn't say anything, turned around and wiped her tears, which made people look very pitiful, the prince stepped forward and held her hand, but the woman withdrew her hand and took two steps back, shook her head again, and said with a little choked: "You and I have no chance, goodbye should be passers-by." ”

"Zixian, how can you say that, I haven't forgotten you for a moment in the past ten years, you have always been in my heart."

"There is no need to say this, the past has long been like this turbulent river, and it will never be returned, and there is no going back between me and you, so you still forget me completely." The woman wiped away her tears, calmed down, and took out another piece of jade from her sleeve, "This jade is a pair, and I will return it to you when I see you again today." The prince stepped forward again and grabbed her hand and said, "Why do you want to be so ruthless to me." ”

"Then you are not ruthless to me, if you were willing to go with me, why should we suffer this kind of torture, this is our love thing, and now the other half has been thrown into the river as a sacrifice by you, this is meaningless to me, return it to you ......" said the pair of people have long been unable to cry.

Cangli and the swordsman fought, hit in front of them, although a little out of place, but they still stopped together, they all came for the jade, the swordsman wanted the piece in Zixian's hand, Cangli wanted the piece in Ning Wangfu, and now the jade is there, but Zixian transferred the jade to the swordsman.

At the beginning, the swordsman found Zhou Zixian in order to reforge the master's broken sword, and his master was the life-saving benefactor of Zixian's husband, after a few thoughts, Zixian decided to be escorted by the swordsman to Ning Wangzhou, at this time, she was terminally ill and thought that she should come back to make a break, after all, Ning Wangye has been waiting for her and has not married.

Thinking back to seventeen years ago, as in front of me, on March 3, the weather was new, and the son of the prince, who was still a sunny boy, met Zhou Zixian for the first time, and the two fell in love at first sight. When King Ning gave the jade to Zhou Zixian, he said that she would not marry, but a pair of beauties finally made people, and when Zixian told her family, she knew that she had already been married to someone else by her family, and it was a marriage contract that had been made before she was born.

When she reaches the age of sixteen, she will get married, that is, next year, Zixian is already infatuated with King Ning, unwilling to such a fate, King Youning met in Phoenix Terrace and wanted to elope with him, but King Ning refused, he is the only son of the palace, how can he easily part with the family and the entire palace, and the person she married is a cousin of King Ning's mother's mother's family, and he can't ignore his mother's face.

After being rejected by the prince, Zhou Zixian agreed to marry in a fit of anger and vowed never to see that person again, but when she got married, the prince specially gave a generous gift, but also punished herself for not marrying for life.

"It's a pity that one marries in anger, the other never marries, and they still torture each other like this when they love each other." Xiao Qingqian couldn't help but sigh when he listened to it.

"It's not necessarily a blessing to be together in the end."

"Maybe, but it's a lifelong regret that we can't be together." There are all kinds of sad things in the world, and it is too difficult to pursue a flawless ending, but Xiao Qingqian thought about it and asked, "Who stole the piece of jade at the beginning of the story?" How did the prince let you go? ”

"My mission is to get the jade to complete the test." So I don't care who stole Cangli, after Zhou Zixian and the swordsman left, Cangli still followed all the way, vowing to take it from the swordsman. He was ambushed on the way out of the state capital, and finally found a suitable place to shoot, and the swordsman asked Zixian to go first, and he would arrive later.

At this time, it is already unitary time, the remnant sun is like blood, and there is still more than an hour left before the employer is restored, and Cangli is bound to win.

"Looks like you're still not giving up." The swordsman drew his sword again, and this time he would not show mercy.

The two immediately fought against each other, but Cangli still dealt with it empty-handed, and his knife had not yet been refined by the blacksmith. This swordsman is the chief disciple of the master of Tianliu Pavilion, and he has the true inheritance of the master, and Cangli is still a master who has no way out, and he only learns a little bit of martial arts and tricks in the east and a little bit in the west, and it is complicated and unified, the swordsman used to look at the face of Zhou Zixian and King Ning and did not move the truth, but now he is different.

Even so, Cang Li was afraid of the enemy, Tianliu Pavilion's swordsmanship was not a first-class exercise in his eyes, and the ancestral sword of the Tianliu Pavilion master was cut off when he dueled with people, and his chief disciple's swordsmanship could also find flaws everywhere, and Cang Li didn't worry too much about fighting empty-handed at this moment.

After a few rounds, the swordsman still couldn't find Cangli's flaws, but in his eyes, Cangli was messing up the exercises, and orthodox people like him couldn't look down on it, but there was nothing he could do.

However, after more than a dozen moves, Cangli also played enough, and directly knocked down the swordsman in a wave, but the swordsman was very persistent and refused to hand over the jade, and directly reached out to grab the glass and couldn't do it, when he was stuck, Wen Qi didn't know where to suddenly appear, and went directly to take out the jade from the swordsman's arms, and then threw it to Cangli, and said: "Sometimes some face can be dispensed with." ”

Cangli took it and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I can't let you lose face."

"Didn't you just say that it's okay to have some face?"

"What's the matter, let's go, go to Qunfang Courtyard to drink, I'm in for a treat, today's Shangsi Festival, those good-looking girls are already waiting for us."

Cangli turned around to follow, and the swordsman was unwilling, and shouted at Cangli's back: "On the day when my master breaks the sword and recasts, he will come to wash away today's shame." ”

"I'm waiting for you in the Kun Underworld." This is the first time that Cangli has admitted that he is from the Kun Hades Palace.

Cangli returned to Qunfang Courtyard as promised, this time he chose to enter through the gate, or that time, that room, when he pushed the door in, the person waiting inside was the palace master of the Kun Underworld Palace, Du Li, he was playing with another piece of jade in his hand, and what Cangli didn't expect was that the palace master was an old man, and it was rumored that he was a beautiful man.

Cangli handed over the jade, and Du Li didn't look at it carefully, but said: "It's worthy of the beautiful jade from Penglai Xianzhou, just right, you can make a pair." Then he gave it to a woman who was serving beside him.
