Jiuxi looked at the person in front of him with burning eyes, but he didn't know that this person also carved her eyebrows and eyes in his heart.

The two looked at each other for a few breaths before Jiuxi looked away, scooped up the teacup and teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea into it, and sipped it slowly.

Jiuxi likes to take small sips of tea, let the tea roll around the tip of the tongue to leave the aftertaste and swallow it into the throat. Jun Qianyu watched her swallow the tea, and her Adam's apple rolled slightly, looking away.

"So how did you know it was mine that day?"

Jiuxi has always liked to pretend to be a man when she goes out of the palace to play, and with someone/skin/mask, she is confident that even if Ji Mo Wei stands in front of her, it will be difficult to recognize her if she doesn't distinguish carefully. But I don't know how this man recognized her.

"I wanted to go to the palace to look for you, but I happened to see you change your outfit and want to leave the palace, so I followed you. ”

"What the young master does is not like a gentleman. She smirked.

Jun Qian couldn't say no, and asked her, "What else do you want to ask besides these?"

Jiuxi carefully recalled what had happened since the two met, and found that there were actually many details or truths that he had already revealed to her, but he didn't just reveal his identity. However, Jiuxi didn't mind, what reason did he have to take the initiative to tell a stranger his identity? If he hadn't found out earlier, she would have planned to hide her identity all the time.

It's just that this person has the name of her fiancé to bear, which makes her a little uncomfortable.

"Ahem...... What do you think about the marriage contract?" she poured another cup of tea unnaturally, and drank it slowly.

"Don't dare to disobey the orders of your elders. With a smile in the corner of his eye, he replied.

Jiuxi glanced at him, "I'm still young now, can we think about this matter in the long run?"

"Okay, listen to the doll. We're a long way to go. ”

Jiuxi heard a hint of uncertainty, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. It's just that this person seems to have some interest in her, and there seems to be ambiguity when he speaks, and there is some affection that is difficult for her to understand. It's just that she doesn't know where this feeling comes from. Maybe it's just that she's too self-inflicted.

Jun Qianyu also knows that the little doll is still young, and she is still ignorant about one of them, so she can't be in a hurry. He has the patience to grind slowly. He has always been like this, he will not look at anything he understands, but as long as it is in his eyes, whether it is a person or something else, he has a lot of patience and spares no effort to fight for it.

The two sides sat silently, silent for a while. Jiuxi was a little sleepy, and listened to him in a trance, "Little dolls shouldn't stay up late, you should go back to sleep first." ”

She wanted to refute him for talking about her age, but she couldn't resist the surging sleepiness, so she staggered to her feet and left.

After he left, Jun Qianyu took the tea cup that was originally placed in front of her, and added some of her remaining tea and drank it all.

......

Two days later, the news that the Prince Regent had led his twelve ghost warriors to reappear in the world spread in the Kingdom of Qian.

The royal family also got the news, but now they don't know how to deal with the royal family's legacy. There are Qiming on the outside, and bandits are rampant inside, and the country of Qian is in the midst of internal and external troubles. And now for the appearance of the prince regent, the royal family is even a little lucky, planning how to plan this help sent to the door to attract the main force of Qiming, he had better follow these remnants of the Jinguo to die together, and then send troops to suppress the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals who can't make any waves, and the worries of the Qian country can be solved.

However, for some reason, Qiming was ready to retreat. Tens of thousands of troops pressed the border, and in the blink of an eye, they retreated silently. The people didn't know what was going on, but they also felt relieved, no one was holding a knife hanging over their heads, and even breathing felt much easier.

They felt that maybe it was the arrival of the rescue troops of the Tianyuan Dynasty, or maybe it was the prestige of the ghost shadow cavalry under the command of the regent Shizi, no matter what, the withdrawal of Qiming troops would be a happy thing for them.

Jun Qianyu never thought about it, he thought that even if his identity was exposed, Qiming would delay it again and again, consuming the national strength of the Qian country, so he told Jiuxi that day that he would not return within three months. It is also a plan to fight for a long time.

But he vaguely felt that Qi Ming definitely had other plans behind him, and it was impossible to stop just because of Tian Yuan's reinforcements.

Also thinking the same thing as him is Qiansang. During the second phantom conversation with Jiuxi, Jiuxi told him the ins and outs of the matter, although he was a little surprised, but after thinking deeply, he also felt that Qiming was afraid that he had other plans.

However, at present, it can be regarded as a solution to the predicament of Qianguo, and Qin Sang played a key role in persuading Zhao Jingnian, the prime minister of Qianguo, to write a letter asking for help from Tianyuan, and he can be regarded as passing the test of Jiuxi. The Prince Regent and the Ghost Shadow Rider have also surfaced, and how to take them under her command next depends on her own ability.

Jiuxi thought about it for a while, and decided to let Qin Sang go back to the Tianyuan Dynasty first to plan something for her, while she wanted to stay in Qingshan Village to continue to observe the movements between Qianguo and Qiming.

Two letters were sent to Qin Sang when he left, one for his mother and one for his master, Langle.

It's just that the letter handed over to the master seems to have made his old man unhappy, and the news came from Dai Dye that her master Langle was rushing to the south.

Jiuxi waited in the village for two days with some trepidation, and did not wait for the master to come, but heard that a large-scale epidemic broke out in Wangdu, the capital of Qianguo, and it was menacing, but the source of the disease could not be found. Three days after the onset of the disease, several people have died. escaped the threat of the Qiming army, but did not escape the menacing epidemic. The people of the capital are complaining about their suffering, and the epidemic is spreading rapidly around the capital.

The epidemic came too suddenly, and often before the epidemic, there must be a natural disaster. But in recent years, there have been no natural disasters in the country, all of them are man-made disasters, and this man-made disaster has not affected the capital. This is a strange thing. Jiuxi was a little worried that Qiming was doing it, but there was no evidence. She had no choice but to leave a letter, and she used her light skills late at night to rush to the direction of Wangdu.

Qian Guo has a hatred for Jinguo, and now that there is an epidemic in the capital of Qianguo, she can't find a reason to persuade Jun Qianyu to go with her. Moreover, this is only to check the state of the epidemic and whether the cause of the disease is related to Qiming.

Therefore, it was written in the letter that she just missed her hometown and returned to Tianyuan, thanking Qingshanzhai for taking care of Yunyun for many days.

However, this matter is not something that cannot be spoken, Jun Qianyu felt different after reading the letter left behind, and then thought of the purpose of the little girl's stay, and knew that she was going to Wangdu to find out.

He was about to prepare a horse to chase after him, but Liu Qianqi sent someone to call him.

"Your daughter-in-law ran away right under your nose?"

His adoptive father and master, his old man has always been disrespectful to the old, and Jun Qianyu has long been accustomed to his thunderous words.

"Well, I'm getting ready to chase it. ”

"The little girl is a worrying life, and her resolute personality is very much like her mother. ”

Seeing that his master and adoptive father was about to start reminiscing about the time when he was with the female monarch of Tianyuan, he hurriedly interrupted, "What else does father have to say to the child?"

Liu Qiancho glared at him, "The little girl went to Wangdu, I'm afraid that she wants to investigate the source of the epidemic, right?

Exactly, the child had that thought. ”

Originally, they noticed something was wrong when Qiming easily withdrew from the army, and the epidemic began to break out on a large scale three or five days after Qiming withdrew from the army. It's too much of a coincidence.

"In my opinion, this is not excluded from the handiwork of the Qiming Seven Star Pavilion. ”

"Seven Star Pavilion?" Jun Qianyu frowned and pondered, if it was really related to Seven Star Pavilion, things would be much more troublesome.

"It is rumored that the Seven Star Pavilion has gained a foothold in a mortal realm thousands of years ago, and at that time it was said to be called Juxing Pavilion, which was a flower building to attract distinguished guests on the surface, but in fact it was a trading place for secretly buying and selling news. And the news of the transaction is obtained by the possession of demons and leads people into dreams. However, Juxing Pavilion disappeared for unknown reasons a hundred years ago, and when it reappeared in the world, it changed its owner, changed its name, and no longer used it as a place to buy and sell information, but ...... began to be transformed into the faith of the common people. Therefore, Qiming is called the ghost country, and it is also the reason why every baby in the country is poured a bowl of holy blood into the mother's body before birth, and this holy blood is the yin qi of the ghost spirits raised in the Seven Star Pavilion. ”

"If so, why did the people worship spirits?"

"Once the holy blood is drunk, it will subtly change the minds of the enlightening people from an early age, making people become tyrannical. Qiming's war-like nature is also for this reason. But they only use it to strengthen their bodies, but they don't know why. I don't know that the Seven Star Pavilion they believe in is full of ghosts. ”

"It seems that the master behind the Seven Star Pavilion is a bit powerful. ”

After getting the news of the Seven Star Pavilion here in Liuqian, Jun Qianyu had a bottom in his heart, and rushed to the direction of Wangdu with the ghost shadow horse overnight.

The spread of the epidemic in Wangdu is not optimistic, and everyone in the capital is in danger, but what chills the people is that the monarch in the palace, who should have sat in the court to appease the people, chose to close the palace for fear of the epidemic and the palace, and ordered the officials not to go to the court, which caused public anger and chaos for a while.

The monarch of the Qian Kingdom has always been afraid of death, and he is obsessed with cultivating immortals and alchemy for the sake of immortality, believing in the Buddha, who cares if the people live or die?

If it is really Qiming's conspiracy, this is to disintegrate the Qian Kingdom from within.

When Jiuxi was young, he practiced the art of pills with Langle for a while, and soon changed to the technique of poisoning because he was poisoned once. However, there is only one family of medicine and poison, and she has attainments in poison, and her medicine skills are not far behind.

He pretended to be a traveling doctor and entered the capital. At this time, there was a shortage of good doctors in Kyoto, and she easily entered Wangdu.

Previously, I heard that Qin Sang said that the monarch of the Qian Kingdom was willing to write a letter to ask her mother for help, thanks to the fact that there was also a virtuous minister in the court, the prime minister Zhao Jingnian. He also said that if he asked for help, he could go to this person for help.

However, Jiuxi plans to observe the spread of the epidemic first, and if there is empirical evidence, it is not too late to look for Zhao Jingnian.

A few months ago, Wangdu was still prosperous, but now it is gradually depressed due to the epidemic. There were few people on the streets that should have been lively, and the guards guarding the city were also speechless with sad faces.

Suddenly, one of the guards foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground for unknown reasons, and his whole body convulsed, and a black shadow gradually appeared in the seal hall, and he fainted after a while.

Jiuxi hurriedly ran over to check, and the man had no wounds on his body, and it didn't look like he was poisoned, but a blood-red silk thread appeared on his neck at some point.
