Listening to Xiaoying's screams, Yan Ting and Chengjiujiu didn't know how to continue, and they couldn't bear to persecute Xiaoying anymore.

Yes, this woman just wants to stay away from the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes and live the life of an ordinary person, is this too much?

Xiaoying was already crying a little, breathing heavily, trying to calm her body, she regarded the two people in front of her as friends, unwilling to expose her vulnerable side in front of them, and hurriedly turned her head, tears flowed immediately.

Xiaoying doesn't blame them, she just hates herself for being cowardly, and she doesn't have the courage to face those brothers and sisters in the past, and at the same time she has a sense of despair, why she was born in the Dugu family, why she really can't avoid those shadows.

Yan Ting was silent for a moment, put the dice at Xiaoying's feet, and whispered to Xiaoying: "It's our fault, as friends, we shouldn't force you to do what you don't want to do, you can stay here with peace of mind, no one will bother you anymore." ”

Chengjiujiu also put down the pear blossom, but after thinking about it, he picked it up again, and said to Xiaoying: "I didn't deserve to use this sword anymore, but if you stay here, it may cause you some trouble, so please lend me another year." ”

Xiao Ying turned her back to them and nodded, Cheng Jiujiu squeezed out a smile and said with a smile: "We will come back to look for you in a year, and then we will all be ordinary people and live a peaceful and peaceful life together." ”

Yan Ting and Chengjiujiu walked out of the manor, leaving Xiaoying alone to sit here, the old cow gnawed his stomach, lay down on the ground and took a nap, and the manor returned to its former silence.

At the end, a steady footstep slowly came, and Dongfang Shenwei stood in the courtyard of the manor, quietly looking at Xiaoying's back.

Xiaoying wiped her face with her hands, turned her head, and got up to salute Dongfang Shenwei: "Uncle Dongfang." ”

Dongfang Shenwei nodded, revealing a loving smile: "I thought you planned to never recognize me as an uncle. ”

Xiaoying couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart anymore, hot tears spilled on her face, and she threw herself into Dongfang Shenwei's arms and cried bitterly, Dongfang Shenwei reached out and rubbed Xiaoying's head, sighed, and said, "Presumably Yan Ting has already told you." ”

Xiaoying didn't speak, buried his whole face in his chest, Dongfang Shenwei was also a little desolate in his heart, he watched Dugu Xiaoying grow from a doll to a slim person, and he had already regarded her as his daughter, and now that Xiaoying suffered so much, he would not feel good in his heart.

Wiping away Xiaoying's tears and sitting on the stone bench with her, Dongfang Shenwei said: "Your choice is not wrong, and I don't want you to go back to Dugu again, it is no longer your familiar home." ”

Xiaoying choked up and said, "That...... Will the uncle be interested in ......"

"You don't need to know." Dongfang Shenwei stopped Xiaoying from asking and said with a smile: "You are already an ordinary woman, the affairs of the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with you, I will handle Dugu's family affairs for Ruoxiong." ”

Dongfang Shenwei got up after saying that, walked to the courtyard and picked up the dice that Yan Ting had placed on the ground, and said, "You have many brothers and sisters, and there is always someone more suitable to be the head of the Dugu family, so you don't need to worry about the heir." ”

Xiaoying nodded, what Dongfang Shenwei said made her feel much more at ease.

Dongfang Shenwei put the dice in Xiaoying's palm, looked at the ugliness on Xiaoying's face, couldn't help but shake his head, and then smiled: "You can't live a lifetime alone, there must always be a man by your side, Yan Ting is a real man." ”

Xiaoying's face turned red, and she said with some coquettishness: "Uncle Dongfang! ”

Dongfang Shenwei smiled even more, sat back on the stone bench and said seriously: "He is doing very dangerous things now, and he will face a lot of trouble, as long as you nod, I will help him tide over the difficulties." ”

Xiaoying pursed her lips and nodded.

Dongfang Shenwei got up, looked at the dilapidated board car full of swill buckets, and the old scalper who was napping, and couldn't help but sigh: "You don't need to practice yourself like this, ordinary life is not so miserable." ”

Xiaoying said indifferently: "This kind of life is not a hardship for me, and I live a very fulfilling life every day." ”

Dongfang Shenwei took out a jade plate and handed it to Xiaoying, and the jade plate was engraved with the word "Lu".

"If you are in trouble but you can't make a move, you can give this jade plaque to an errand boy at will, and they will lead you to meet someone, who is equal to me."

Xiaoying recognized that this jade pendant was the brand of Tianlu Mansion, put it away obediently, and asked, "Is Uncle Murong here?" ”

Dongfang Shenwei nodded and said with a smile: "I hope you will never need this jade pendant, you know that the Murong family is not very good-tempered." ”

Yan Ting and Chengjiujiu returned to Baihualou.

As a Qinglou, the guests in the past were all men, and it was rare for a woman to set foot here, and she was holding a beautiful long sword.

As soon as Chengjiujiu entered the lobby, he was grabbed by the old bustard's mother Zhang and greeted one after another: "What's the matter with you girl?" Fang just came in and bullied my daughter for nothing, and now what are you doing when you come in again? ”

Cheng Jiujiu didn't talk nonsense, turned over and hugged Zhang's mother in his arms, and then gently pushed her out of the distance, scolding: "You guys are not a prison in the capital, why don't you let people in?" Bring me some wine. ”

Zhang's mother finally stabilized her body, crossed her waist and scolded: "Old lady, this Baihualou has wine, but do you have any silver?" ”

Yan Ting took out a few taels of silver and threw it to Zhang's mother, Zhang's mother immediately seemed to be a different person, and said with a flattering smile: "Hey, if you have silver, don't say it early, hurry up and take a seat, I'll ask someone to serve you wine." "As soon as he said that, he went to greet the other guests.

The appearance of Chengjiujiu is undoubtedly the most outstanding here, some bold guests saw such a girl who came out of the water hibiscus, and they couldn't help but have some lust in their hearts, and looked at her with obscene eyes, Chengjiujiu sneered, and randomly found a corner table to slap the pear blossoms on the table, she had a fire in her heart, wishing that someone would come to find trouble at this time.

Yan Ting sat beside her, waited for the next person to bring the wine, and without using a cup, he picked up a jar and poured it directly into his mouth, and then whispered to Chengjiu Wine: "Let's wait here for a few days, and then go find another person." ”

Cheng Jiujiu snatched Yan Ting's wine and took a few sips, scratched his head a little impatiently, and asked, "Are you willing to tell me your plan now?" ”

Yan Ting said: "We still need to find two people, one is the smartest person in the world, and the other is the person who sees the farthest with his eyes." ”

Cheng Jiujiu asked, "Who is the smartest person in the world?" ”

Yan Ting said: "You also know this person, it is the person who gave you the wine gourd." ”

Cheng Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded suddenly with realization: "No wonder you didn't want to tell me before, her brain is indeed smart, but it's a pity that she can't use it on the right path." ”

Yan Ting said indifferently: "I know that what you hate the most is her, but I have no other way, because she is the only daughter of the sect master." ”

Cheng Jiujiu nodded, of course she knew about it, but she didn't want to see that woman again: "Since you remember that she is the daughter of the sect master, then you should not forget how she betrayed us." ”

Yan Ting said: "I can understand her choice back then. ”

"Can you understand?"

Cheng Jiujiu threw the wine in his hand to the ground, and the violent sound calmed everyone in the lobby, Cheng Jiujiu got up and walked out, Yan Ting hurriedly followed behind her, of course this is not a good place to talk.

The two of them walked to the backyard, and Cheng Jiujiu kicked the heavy grinding plate apart, pointing at Yan Ting and scolding: "I told you a long time ago that as long as I let me see her again, I will definitely kill her." ”

Yan Ting said: "I know. ”

Cheng Jiujiu sneered: "So you still have to ask for her help?" Aren't you afraid that she will betray you again? ”

Yan Ting said: "She doesn't need to betray me anymore, and she also resents her father." ”

Cheng Jiujiu really didn't want to mention that woman again, so he grabbed the gourd on his waist and threw it on the ground and broke it into multiple petals, and he still seemed to be puzzled and stepped on a few feet, and scolded again: "Yan Ting, Yan Ting, I thought you were a smart person, but now you are so crazy that you still believe in that person!" ”

Yan Ting was about to say more, when a knock on the door sounded behind him, and when he looked back, it was Dongfang Shenwei who came.

"What are you talking about?"

Cheng Jiujiu saw that it was Ouchi's Dongfang Shenwei, and hurriedly shouted at him: "You came just in time, let's see what Yan Ting, this madman, plans to do, he plans to go to the palace of the capital to find the current crown princess!" ”

Dongfang Shenwei's old face was stunned, and he cautiously asked Yan Ting: "What she said is true?" ”

Yan Ting nodded.

Dongfang Shenwei showed a very strange expression, he knew that Yan Ting had always been very bold, but such a mindless thing was still too unexpected for him.

"The crown princess? Concubine Jiang? Why did you go to her? ”

Cheng Jiujiu replied first: "Because that damn crazy woman used to be Yan Ting's childhood sweetheart, so Yan Ting wants to go to his old lover to catch up, and you, as the head of Ouchi, must stop him." ”

"Damn crazy woman......" Dongfang Shenwei was even more surprised, and asked Cheng Jiujiu: "What the hell is going on?" What is the relationship between Concubine Jiang and you? ”

Yan Ting glared at Cheng Jiujiu and said to Dongfang Shenwei: "It's not a childhood sweetheart, just an ordinary friend, and she is also part of my plan." ”

"How can she help you?"

"She's the daughter of the Lord of the Blood Shadow Gate."

Dongfang Shenwei was silent, this news really shocked him.

Yan Ting said: "Back then, we assassinated an important minister of the dynasty, she betrayed us and gained the trust of that important minister, and climbed all the way to the position of the crown princess when she entered the palace. ”

To put it lightly, the hardships in it can't be summed up in one sentence.

Dongfang Shenwei was silent for a long time before asking, "The important minister back then, is it Taiwei Li?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu joked on the side: "That's right, it's the Lord Li who died on her belly, of course she won't be satisfied with being a concubine who is only a princess, she must be able to sit in the position of the crown princess, she has slept with a lot of big people." ”

Yan Ting stopped Cheng Jiujiu's wine: "Don't say it." ”

Cheng Jiujiu was even more anxious, and crossed his waist and scolded: "What? I said she is distressed? Do you think that she can go to the sky in one step with just her head? ”

Dongfang Shenwei coughed lightly, it stands to reason that he is in charge of the inner house, he shouldn't listen to this kind of thing, and he can't allow others to talk nonsense, he hurriedly staggered the topic: "I won't say anything when you go to the capital, but if you want to break into the palace, I will never allow it." ”

"Of course I won't break in, there is a way to get her out of the palace."
