In order to prevent the Li clan from secretly ambushing in the secret passage, Jinyun Chong ordered the guards to pass through the tunnel first, and after ensuring safety, he would enter again.

Soon the guards stepped out of the tunnel and signaled to him that they were safe. Just as he was about to lean down, a man who was also wearing a guard cloak appeared from the shadows with his head bowed, stepped forward quickly, and grabbed him.

"Big young master, slow down."

He raised his head to reveal his true face, and Jinyun Chongzhi was shocked. This person turned out to be the Great Elder's inseparable close attendant, and he was also an assistant, Yuqing.

Unexpectedly, the group of old guys still couldn't trust him, so they secretly planted eyeliner to monitor his actions.

The two of them quietly finally jumped into the tunnel and moved the boulder at the entrance of the cave back to its original place.

Yuqing deliberately lowered her tone in the long and narrow tunnel to hand over to Jinyun Chong, and her tone was a bit of a hint of Xingshi's questioning, "Is the eldest young master's wording too spicy, offending the Li clan and contrary to the original intention of the elders." ”

Jinyun Chong calmly responded: "The Li family is a big trouble in Jinyun's heart, and only by eradicating it as soon as possible can Jinyun sit back and relax." The elders sent me to meet with the Lai Clan, ostensibly to confirm the matter, but in fact it was just to catch the fault of the Lai Clan and give him a reason to attack him. ”

Yuqing didn't listen to his rhetoric, and only said solemnly: "I was present at the two meetings in the morning. He has served as the Great Elder for many years and has served in the center of the clan for a long time. As far as I know, Jinyun didn't have that idea. The words and deeds of the eldest young master today were completely out of his original intentions, and he did not take the interests and safety of the whole clan into account at all. To put it mildly, you are acting like a three-year-old child today, out of order. ”

Jinyun Chong pulled out a fire fold from his cuff and vaguely illuminated the road ahead in the dark secret passage. The faint light struck his face, but it cast a layer of shadow, and the gloomy environment in this passage also stained his voice with a layer of coldness, "So, what do you mean? ”

Yuqing just expressed his chest straightforwardly: "I think that the eldest young master, you use the public for personal gain, and you have other plans. I implore the eldest young master to be cautious in his words and deeds, your every move will have an impact on your patriarch's path. Miss Lan had a private relationship with Lai, and although she violated the ancestral teachings, according to the investigation, all her acts towards Lai's were good deeds. Judging from Fang Cai's situation, Li Shi has a lot of trust in Miss Lan, and if he can capture Li Shi's heart with this, it will be a great achievement. ”

"Nonsense!" Jinyun Chong retorted sternly, "The Li clan has hated Jinyun for thousands of years, how can he release his suspicions because of his relationship with Jinyun Lan for half a year." They have resolutely ill intentions, and they dug tunnels in order to wait for an opportunity, preparing to attack us when Jinyun is unprepared. The only way to do this is to annihilate it in one fell swoop! ”

Yuqing sighed to herself: "I just want to persuade you again, there is a lot of help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust." If you want to become the head of a clan, you can't conquer people's hearts with iron and blood. At this point, you should learn from your sister. Although she had a secret relationship with Lai, she behaved inappropriately. But I have to say, she is much more merciful than you. ”

Jin Yunchong closed his eyes in annoyance.

Everyone, everyone, is holding on to this sentence.

He's really had enough, and he's had enough!

"And how are you going to handle this?" Jinyun Chong blew out the fire in his hand, and quietly lifted the hilt of the long sword with the thumb of his right hand, and the light of the blade flashed in the dim tunnel.

Yuqing was completely unaware of the impending danger, and still replied impartially: "I will report this matter truthfully in the future." As for how many points the clan will give to the eldest young master's performance on this trip, it is unknown below, and it has nothing to do with below. ”

"Oh, yes." His pronunciation fell, and he pulled out his matching sword and aimed it at Yuqing's chest.

At that moment, he felt more exuberant than ever.

Yuqing was killed instantly, lying in a pool of blood, with the disbelief of dying on her face.

Jinyun Chong gently drew his sword to prevent the blood from splattering. After slowly wiping the blood from his sword, he immediately crossed the tunnel, followed the large army in front of him, and left with them.

The elders did not expect him to come back so quickly, and hurried to ask him about the situation. He added fuel and vinegar to his encounter in the empty mountain, and reversed black and white.

He completely reversed his attitude towards Lai, portraying Lai's as nobody, arrogant, conceited, and even vicious. In his account, Lai is so dangerous that he will come down the mountain at any moment.

When the elders heard this, they were also skeptical. The Great Elder looked around, but he didn't see any trace of Yuqing, and he was suspicious in his heart. But it was not good for him to ask directly, after all, Yuqing was the eyeliner that was planted without Jinyun Chong's knowledge.

The elders were suspicious, and after releasing Jinyun Chong, they held a meeting until late at night.

In the middle of the night, Jinyun Chong quietly came to the foot of the empty mountain again. He moved away from the tunnel boulder and dragged Yuqing's body out of the tunnel, and many ways to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces were turned in his mind. He raised his head to look at the silent empty mountain, and with a flash of inspiration, he immediately decided to throw the corpse at the foot of the mountain and expose the corpse in a conspicuous place.

When he returned to Los Angeles, he found many homeless beggars huddled on the side of the road. He generously took out a handful of loose silver from his purse and scattered it in front of them without any distress. A group of troubled people suddenly came to their senses, and their eyes lit up on the ground, desperately picking up this gift of kindness, chattering endlessly, "Thank you for the good people, thank you for the good people." ”

Jinyun Chong sneered, as if to say to Yuqing: "Is this kindness? It's a pity that their gratitude doesn't please me. He approached them slowly, and accepted their thankful prostration.

"There's one thing I hope you can do."

"Good man, please speak."

……

The next day, the Jinyun Morning Meeting was still presided over by the Great Elder. In view of Jinyun Chong's words yesterday, the clan discussed it all night, and it was decided that the Great Elder would personally go to the empty mountain to test the Li clan's attitude before making plans.

Try not to have disputes, otherwise Fuguang or Sulu is likely to take advantage of this opportunity.

At this moment, a little disciple broke in from outside, and shouted in a panic, "Great Elder, it's not good. The people who went to patrol near the empty mountain this morning came to report that they found Yuqing's body at the foot of the empty mountain, and they were wounded to death by a sword. And for some reason, the affair between the eldest lady and the Li family spread in the community. ”

The Great Elder stood up and shouted, "What? A wave of dizziness hit him, and he almost fell on the spot.

Fortunately, the little disciple on the side held him steadily, so that he would not be unconscious in front of everyone.

The Great Elder forcibly suppressed the sharp pain coming from his heart, ordered the news to be blocked, and sealed all the borders of the empty mountain. I am afraid that the person who spreads rumors will not be caught, and now I can only try my best to control public opinion.

And when the city was full of wind and rain outside, the women in the backyard were still ignorant.

On the order of Jin Yunlan, he followed the doctor to the hospital to pick up the medicine.

Seeing that Consummation was about to go out, a girl with a raw face followed closely and said affectionately: "Sister Consummation, where are you going?" I'll go with you. ”

The consummation party was about to refuse, and Jinyunlan nodded to her peacefully. She realized that this person had probably been sent to spy on them.

Anyway, this trip is not a secret operation, so it doesn't hurt to let her follow.

The two left the Jinyun Mansion and went to the street.

There are fewer stalls on L.A. Street, several stores have been closed, and the streets are less lively than they used to be.

She passed by a restaurant that was still open, and before she could enter, she heard the diners talking about her young lady.

I only heard Diner A say: "Miss Jinyun is really bold, she dares to go up to the sky mountain without permission and collude with the Li family." Play with them all day long, and be as close as family and friends. Completely ignoring the Jinyun clan law is simply lawless. ”

Diner B nodded again and again: "Isn't that equivalent to officers and soldiers going to prison and having fun with criminals?" I heard that the Li clan secretly built a tunnel to the outside world. You didn't see it, and because of this, several stores didn't dare to open today. Lao Qian also complained to me that he had to go elsewhere to find another way to make a living. ”

Eater A said: "That old money doesn't kill pigs, he looks five big and three thick, and his face is full of meat, and the ghost has to kneel down when he sees him, and beg him to let him live." What else is he afraid of? ”

Diner B said, "You don't know. Old Qian is notoriously big with an axe and a little timid. Besides, who is the Li clan, the body is like a fierce beast, the sound is like an ape, and he is a giant beast alive. You and I are just mortals, how can we compete with wild beasts? Let's ask for more blessings. With that, he patted his friend on the shoulder comfortingly.

Diner A sighed fiercely: "You said that this Miss Jinyun is the wrong tendon, and she has to make this trip to the troubled water?" Could it be that she didn't agree with her own relatives, and she was annoyed when she suffered a lot of criticism, so she pulled us into the water together. The city is full of wind and rain, and the people are not happy. She's so happy. ”

Diner B drank a glass of wine and said, "So this woman should do women's red embroidery at home, and practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Showing up like a man all day long, what does it look like? No wonder no one dared to marry her, who dared to let this plague god enter the door. ”

Diner A held up the oily chopsticks and nodded: "If you want me to say, this woman is superfluous even to read." Even if they are full of wealth, what is the use, is it their turn to serve the country and fight the world? On the contrary, the truth of poetry and books is confused, and I really think that I can be compared with men. Honestly teaching her husband and children at home, serving her in-laws, that's what a serious woman should do. ”

Diner B stroked his hands and laughed, clinking glasses with him: "Not bad, not bad." Great minds think alike! ”

The two of them were having fun, and when the diner at the next table heard this, he came up to them and said mysteriously: "The two brothers don't know yet." A corpse was found at the foot of the empty mountain this morning, covered with scratches all over its body, and its flesh and blood were blurred, not to mention how terrifying it was. ”

Diner A was a little disgusted when he described it: "Are you sincere, and you still don't let people eat?" ”

Diner B said in a matter-of-fact manner: "The corpse is covered with scratches, is it a fierce beast that committed the crime?" Don't be hearsay, right? There is no forest near this Los Angeles, so how can there be wild beasts? ”

Diner C said, "Really! The vicinity of the foot of the mountain is cordoned off, how can there be a fake. ”

Diner A's face turned blue: "You said that the incident happened near Kongshan, could it be that Li Shi went down the mountain to commit a crime?" He was so frightened by his own speculation that he lost his chopsticks, "Isn't our situation very dangerous?" Brothers, I will take my leave here. With that, he ran away like the wind.

Diner B lost his appetite for eating and scolded, "I should also think of a new place to go." Don't you wait to die if you stay in Los Angeles? Damn Lai! He slapped the table so hard that the dishes and chopsticks clinked.

Hearing these words, the consummation outside the door only felt that his eyes were dark and dizzy. She spun around like a headless fly in front of the restaurant with her legs limp, and wanted to continue her march towards the infirmary as planned, but after a few steps she turned abruptly and called the maid who was with her to follow the doctor to get the medicine. He immediately went home.
