The headquarters of the Yue clan in the Wolf Bone Mountain.

"Madam, are you getting better?" King Yue asked Xiao Qiao beside him with concern. Despite the other party's reluctance to bigamy, he wishfully called her "Madame".

"It's better, I'm fine, don't worry, the king. Xiao Qiao has been away from Zhou Yu for a year, she is always thinking about him, although she is now nominally the wife of the Yue clan, but she has never forgotten her original identity, and she hopes that Zhou Yu can come to save her day and night. When she was first arrested in the cottage, her resistance was very heavy, and later she learned that all resistance was futile, and only obediently obeying the king of Yue was the best policy. After King Yue knew that she was Zhou Yu's wife, he treated her very well, but she didn't love him at all, and she only had Zhou Yu in her heart. The deep love between her and Zhou Yu is not a substitute for the gold, silver and jewelry given by King Yue, as Zhou Yu's wife, she is not rare. She regretted that she didn't listen to Sun Quan's advice and left the palace recklessly, causing today's consequences.

"Madam, it's been a year, why can't you let go of Zhou Yu?" King Yue looked helpless.

"The king is too careful, I was originally a taciturn little woman. Little Joe didn't want to tell the truth, so he had to find reasons for himself. She was reluctant to call the other party "husband" from beginning to end.

"Madam, I can give you whatever Zhou Yu can give, why are you so persistent?" King Yue couldn't understand.

“...... Please say no more. "Only she knows what is on her mind.

"Alas, I know I can't replace him, but please be considerate of my feelings! If Wan Si hadn't gone early, I wouldn't have forced you to stay with me. Xiao Qiao, do you know, you really look too much like her! Not only your looks, but also your inner temperament, smiles, and gestures, are all the same, just like a pair of twin sisters. When I first saw you, I thought you were a godsend. I can't help myself, I have a very strong desire in my heart, I must marry you! Even if the sky falls, I will fulfill this wish! That hateful Jiuyou Sect, if it weren't for them, Wan Si would not have died! This time, Huo You is running fast, next time I must kill him with my own hands! I want them to pay with blood! Wan Si, I miss you so much!" King Yue said, two lines of tears fell.

Xiao Qiao suddenly felt that he was quite pitiful, stretched out his hand to touch the back of his hand, and said, "King, don't be like this, Mrs. Wansi has been dead for so long, don't be sad." ”

King Yue looked at her with a little surprise, she had never cared for him so tenderly before.

"What's the matter, King?" Xiao Qiao noticed something strange in his eyes.

"Thank you, ma'am. King Yue did not explain, and hugged her tightly.

Every time Xiao Qiao was hugged by him, his heart was quite entangled, and his mood was beyond words.

"Madam, I'll take you outside for a break, okay?" King Yue's request had been made countless times.

“...... Good. For the first time in a year, Joe agreed.

King Yue was surprised at first, then smiled, put his hand on her shoulder, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to visit this village." ”

Xiao Qiao visited Yuezhai accompanied by King Yue. After a year in the cottage, she has never really visited it. She had to admit that as the headquarters of Shanyue, this cottage was really large, almost comparable to Wu Palace.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected half of the sky red, and the red light sprinkled on Xiao Qiao's face, reflecting her already charming face even more brilliantly.

They came to the bottom of the watchtower on the edge of the cottage. King Yue ordered the sentries above to come down first and ascend the tower with her. The two of them stood on the high tower, sometimes looking up at the sky that was about to be blackened, and sometimes overlooking the vast and dense mountain forest, feeling extremely comfortable.

"Madame, you are so beautiful. King Yue stroked her hair with the back of his fingers.

Xiao Qiao didn't say anything, just stared at the sky blankly, as if Zhou Yu was on it.

"Zhou Lang, I really miss you!" When she thought of her husband, she unconsciously shed tears of longing.

"Madam, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" King Yue asked when he saw her crying.

"No... Nothing, I'm fine. Little Joe quickly wiped away his tears and said, "The wind is too strong, and sand has run into my eyes." ”

"Where, I'll blow it for you. King Yue leaned his mouth over.

"No... No, the sand has fallen. She quickly blocked it with her hand.

"It's almost the winter solstice, be careful of catching a cold. King Yue regretted that he did not succeed in the "sneak attack", so he had to take off his coat and put it on her.

She had no reason to refuse, so she had to say, "Thank you." ”

"A family is polite whatever. King Yue looked at her affectionately, she had completely replaced his deceased wife in his mind.

Xiao Qiao felt numb all over her body, she had endured King Yue's concern for her all the year. It's hard to describe the feeling of being cared for for a long time by someone you don't love, and when your loved one isn't around. She casually twisted her head to the side.

At this moment, she vaguely saw two figures flash in the dense forest in the distance. Although it was getting dark, although it was only for a moment, she could see it clearly, it were indeed two people!

Xiao Qiao just wanted to tell King Yue, when a voice appeared in her ear: "Don't make a sound!"

She was startled by the sudden sound, but she heard it and saw no one. She looked around and wondered, only King Yue was beside her, and they were standing on a high place.

"Don't say anything, say whatever you want in your heart, I can hear you. Strange voices reappeared.

Little Joe was startled again, thinking that he was having auditory hallucinations.

"It's not a hallucination, I'm here to help you escape. Mysterious voices continued.

She finally slowly composed herself and nodded.

King Yue looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

After seeing the expression on King Yue's face, Xiao Qiao finally understood that he couldn't hear that voice. She smiled at Yue Wang Yanran to hide the fluctuations in her heart at the moment. King Yue felt that this smile was really rare in a hundred years, and it was the best gift given to him by God, and he was intoxicated with it and couldn't extricate himself. If memory serves, this is the first time Little Joe has smiled at him.

"Who are you?" asked Little Joe with a mental technique.

"I am an immortal, I have entered your consciousness, and only you can hear what I say. I'm talking to you to save you, so don't make a sound, just talk to me with your heart. Now I'll ask, you can answer, is it okay?" The owner of this voice is an old immortal, and he was entrusted by Zhiming to help.

“... Good. "Little Joe has adapted to it.

"Do you love Zhou Yu?"

"Love, very much, he is the only person I love. ”

"Do you want to go back to him?"

"Think, think about it day and night. ”

"Your consciousness has told me. Your consciousness also tells me that you just saw two figures, do you know who they are?"

"I don't know. ”

"That's here to save you out, don't tell King Yue. ”

“... Good. How many of them are there?"

"Both of them are martial arts masters, and one of them is a thief. ”

"Thieves, where did they come from?"

"Don't ask that yet. Tell me, where is the crystal ball that the Yue people stole from the Wu Palace?"

"The crystal ball should be placed in a treasure trove, near King Yue's bedroom, where the treasures he has collected from all over the place are specially placed. How could you not know that you are an immortal?"

"There's something you can't say at once, and you just have to answer anyway. ”

"Well, the outer wall of that treasure house is reddish-brown, and there are skilled guards outside the door and inside the vault to prevent the treasure from being stolen, and it is impossible for ordinary people to enter it. ”

"Rest assured, our thieves are omnipotent. Now please cooperate: the first step is to drag King Yue as much as possible, don't let him go back to the bedroom for the time being, so that our people have enough time to steal the crystal ball, and the second step, when they succeed in stealing the ball, you go back to your bedroom immediately, lock the door, open a window, and never let anyone approach you, especially King Yue. I'll make my own arrangements for the rest. Got it?"

"Well, I see. "Although Xiao Qiao has been here for a year, she and King Yue have always been separated, and she would rather die than betray Zhou Yu.

"Now I'm going to inform them of the action. Try to talk to him as much as you can, and I'll let you know when I get it. ”

"Okay. "Xiao Qiao's heart is infinitely surprised, there is a god to help tonight!

After the old fairy's voice disappeared, she suddenly became excited, asking the king of Yue to tell her the history of the Yue clan.

King Yue was surprised at first, and then said cheerfully: "Madame, do you want to hear it? Okay, let me tell you about it." ...... a long time ago"

In this way, the king of Yue told the story of the ancestors of the Yue people with great interest, and Xiao Qiao pretended to listen carefully. The surrounding patrols didn't notice Zhi Ming and Yang Ji who were sneaking in quietly.

The two of them went all the way and finally came to the outside of the village at dusk. Across the jungle, they saw King Yue and Xiao Qiao from afar. King Yue was putting on a coat for her, she suddenly turned her head, and the two of them hurriedly knelt down, for fear of revealing their whereabouts.

"She seems to see us. Yang Ji said through the bushes.

"No, you can see it from this distance?"

"I could feel it from the way she looked at her. We were careless. ”

"It's okay, even if she sees us, she won't say it. ”

"Why?"

"She knew we were here to save her. ”

"How do you know?"

"Intuition, my instincts are usually accurate. "Zhiming lied, in fact, he had already sent a request to the old immortal.

"At this time, you are still in the mood to laugh. Yang Ji thought that he was deliberately creating a relaxed atmosphere at a critical moment to relieve psychological pressure.

"I'm not joking, I'm serious. Zhiming looked serious.

Yang Ji looked at him as if he was looking at a visitor from outside the sky. After a while, he asked, "Then tell me intuitively, where should we get in?"

The old fairy had already told Zhiming that there was an unguarded gap in the east, but it was full of thorns. Zhiming told Yang Ji the same thing.

Yang Ji said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to find out, I just knew." ”

"How do you know?"

"The thief is very observant. Yang Ji said with pride.

"Awesome!" Zhiming admired.

"You tell me intuitively, where is the crystal ball hidden?" Yang Ji once again had a problem.

"Wait a minute, let me feel it first. Zhiming closed his eyes and pretended to be inductive.

Yang Ji was puzzled, looking at his serious appearance and not like a joke.

After a while, Zhiming opened his eyes and said, "In a treasure house near King Yue's bedroom, the outer wall is reddish-brown, but it is guarded by a master, so it is not easy to steal. ”

Yang Ji was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Zhiming to even know the color of the exterior wall, so he asked, "Are you sure you haven't been here before?"

Zhiming patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm sure I haven't been here, but you can believe me, Brother Yang!"

Seeing Yang Ji's suspicious face, Zhiming smiled and said, "Don't be distracted, it's important to get down to business." ”

"Those people died so miserably, I couldn't imagine that the Yue people were so cruel!" Yang Ji suddenly remembered the corpses of the disciples he saw on the road, and felt sorry for the enemy.

"Yes, it's cruel, the body is almost incomplete!" Judging from the technique, Zhiming believed that these people were killed by the White Tigers, and Yamagoe and the White Tigers really had a cooperative relationship. He had already had a premonition that Jiangdong had his enemies, but now he had to complete the task of stealing the ball and saving people before dealing with the enemy.

"Get ready for action. Yang Ji grinded his fists.

"Okay, I'll follow you!" Zhiming was ready.

The two quietly approached the gap. Before coming to the gap, I saw that the place was overgrown with grass and thorns, and it was impossible to pass through it directly. In order to avoid startling the snake, the two discussed it and decided that Yang Ji would take the lead, go first to steal the ball, and then come back to save people with Zhiming after he succeeded.
