"You really look up to me, it's really the eldest lady's idea. ”

Ji Ting was stunned at first, then laughed, shaking her head while laughing, and her eyes were full of sympathy when she looked at Tang Zixi.

In the laughter, Tang Zixi's face became more and more ugly, and his eyes became colder and colder.

Ji Ting laughed breathlessly, and said while gasping: "If you hadn't run away from the marriage, my plan wouldn't have gone so well." Speaking of which, you also have a part to do!hahaha......"

"Bang Bang Bang

Ji Ting, who was laughing, was suddenly slapped a few times, and one of her front teeth flew out with blood on the spot, obviously the person who did it was really angry.

Ji Ting said angrily: "Can you do it and still let people say it?" It's just that because of the lack of a front tooth, the speech is a little leaky, and a cruel word makes the hissing sound a little weird.

Tang Zixi's face was calm at the moment, and he said lightly: "You don't have to deliberately provoke me, I won't kill you so easily." The lives of the Tang family are not something that can be offset with a single knife. ”

"What do you want?" Ji Ting was frightened by her indifferent tone, her heart began to pound, and her tone softened.

"Since you like to talk so much, let's just say enough. Tang Zixi clapped his palms and stood up, walked to the side and took a short sword in his hand, tried the sharpness of the sword blade and nodded with satisfaction, then walked back to Ji Ting and squatted down, and compared the sword blade to the other party's face.

Ji Ting froze and didn't dare to move, feeling the cold tip of the sword gently slashing across her face, and her face turned white with fright.

In many cases, women care far more about their appearance than their lives, and the more beautiful a woman is, the more she cares. Not to mention a conceited and beautiful woman like Ji Ting, death is nothing to her compared to disfigurement. Originally, she just wanted to leave a little dignity before she died, but she didn't expect that the other party was not an ordinary person at all, and she played cards completely out of common sense, which made her surprised and angry.

Her gaze was drawn to a sculpture against the wall, behind which was a slightly darker stone brick. This was a backhand she had prepared to build this secret room, originally to deal with Jiang Qi, but now it seems that Tang Zixi in front of her is more deadly than Jiang Qi. As soon as this stone brick is pressed, the mechanism will be activated, and the explosives buried under the chamber will explode, and the entire chamber will be reduced to ashes. Although this means that her years of hard work will be in vain, but in the face of the girl who has been driven crazy, she has to make this decision.

Tang Zixi didn't notice her small movements, but said coldly: "Now let's make a game, I ask a question and you answer, if I am not satisfied with the answer, I will draw a stroke on your face, if you are satisfied, I will stab you in the body." What do you think of this?"

"It's not fair!" Ji Ting said sharply.

Tang Zixi shook his head and said, "I'm not satisfied!" After speaking, he waved the short sword in his hand.

"Thorn-" The sound of the blade cutting through the skin sounded particularly crisp in the quiet environment.

Ji Ting let out an 'ah' scream, and struggled like crazy: "Dare to discredit me, I'll fight with you!"

Tang Zixi jumped back agilely, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my hand is a little raw, and this knife is a little biased!"

Hearing this, Ji Ting, who looked like a mad demon, quickly quieted down, touched her face with her hands, and did not feel any bloodstains, and suddenly felt relieved, gritted her teeth and said, "You scare me?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little cold in his chest, and when he looked down, he found that the placket had been cut, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, and a blood mark could be faintly seen from left to right across his chest. Although there was no bloodshed, it gave Ji Ting a great shock, and she no longer dared to despise the seemingly innocent girl in front of her.

"Alright. Tang Zixi played with the short sword in his hand and spoke again, "This time is a warm-up, and the next one is true, if you don't want to be classified as an ugly bastard, you have to think clearly before answering." ”

"You kill me!" Ji Ting glared at the other party angrily and said hatefully: "Anyway, I'm tired of living for so many years." ”

Tang Zixi's face suddenly sank, and he frowned: "I didn't say it, it's not so easy for you to die." This time I was giving General Fang face, and next time I won't be so lucky. After speaking, he raised the short sword in his hand and smiled coldly, the meaning was self-evident.

Ji Ting stared at the girl in front of her resentfully, the expression on her face was uncertain, and she was obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. Tang Zixi didn't urge, just looked at her quietly, and only heard her grit her teeth and say, "What do you want to know?"

"That's right!" Tang Zixi smiled and said, "First question, who are the people involved in the whole thing?" After speaking, he kindly reminded, "Think clearly and then answer!"

Ji Ting really looked like she had figured it out, and said without hesitation: "There are many people, I can't say all of them at once!" Seeing the other party's suddenly cold look, he hurriedly continued, "But three of them contributed the most, one is Qin Fengyang, the prime minister of the left, the other is Gou Yun, the secretary of the ministry, and the other is Jing Mingyu, the commander of Jin Wuwei." ”

Tang Zixi's brows furrowed tightly when she heard this, she was not surprised that the first two people would make a move.

Gou Yun was originally the sworn enemy of the Tang family, no matter what opportunity she found inside or outside the court, she would oppose the Tang family, which was also one of the reasons why she would beat Gou Tang at the beginning; As for Qin Fengyang, the reason why she ran away from marriage at the beginning was because she didn't like Qin Shuangyue, and on the other hand, because she had heard her grandmother mention that at the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, Qin Fengyang had repeatedly spoken to the emperor, saying that Tang Mingru's title of protector general was not worthy of the name, and it was difficult to convince the public, and he wanted the emperor to withdraw the emperor's order. Although he failed in the end, the emperor didn't know what to think, and actually pointed out Tang Mingru's baby daughter Tang Zixi to Qin Fengyang's son. Of course, the Tang family is as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, but the Qin family is also uncomfortable, obviously in order to weaken the other party's power, they only speak up, but instead they want to become the sons and daughters, so angry that the prime minister has not been in court for more than half a month.

However, Jin Wuwei commanded Jing Mingyu to also participate, and she didn't understand it, because she knew some inside information that others didn't know.

Although Jing Mingyu has no contact with the Tang family on the surface, every year during the Midyear Festival, Tang Mingru will retreat left and right, prepare a table of wine and food in the cold pavilion alone and wait for a mysterious person to visit, and he has never stopped for many years. Such a strange situation naturally aroused Tang Zixi's strong curiosity, and he sneaked into the cold pavilion with his father's favor, and hid under the table for a whole day, just to see who the mysterious person was. I didn't expect her to succeed, but it was not what she expected. That day, the mysterious man didn't come for a long time, and she couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened by the sound of a fight, and when I opened my eyes, I saw my father being knocked to the ground by a man in black.

She heard her father say, 'Whatever you say, this time it has to be me.' If you still take me as a brother, don't stop me. The man in black did not speak for a long time. Suddenly, he glanced at the bottom of the table with those eyes as sharp as an eagle falcon, and he didn't see any movement, and Tang Zixi, who had just poked out half of his head, fainted. By the time she woke up again, it was already the next morning, and the place where she lay had become her room. Although Tang Mingru didn't show anything unusual in front of her, and never mentioned what she peeked at, she obviously felt that her father had become a lot more silent since that night. It wasn't until a long time later that she followed her mother into the palace to greet Concubine Shuniang, and she saw those sharp and peerless eyes again, and the owner of these eyes was none other than Jing Mingyu, the commander of Jin Wuwei.

She let out a long breath and said, "Second question, why do these people want to deal with the Tang family?"

Ji Ting was a little speechless for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't know how to answer this question, how can they tell me what they think." But I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so many people want to get rid of you as soon as possible, so it's thanks to Tang Mingru's too many enemies. Of course, this is also inseparable from the suspicion and suspicion of the emperor Lao'er, otherwise I will not be able to bring down the towering tree of your Tang family, even if I survive a hundred times. Before she finished speaking, she was suddenly kicked in the leg, and this kick was so heavy that it almost broke her leg bone.

"I'm giving you a chance, not for you to mock the Tang family. Tang Zixi grabbed her shirt and said expressionlessly, "How can the Tang family not be evaluated by people like you." ”

"Yes, I was wrong. Ji Ting was so painful that cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Tang Zixi let go of his hand and said lightly: "It's difficult to get close to them according to your identity, let alone conspire with you, how did you contact them?"

This time, Ji Ting didn't answer immediately, but shook her head blankly and said, "It's not me looking for them, it's them looking for me." Seeing Tang Zixi's cold gaze at a glance, he hurriedly explained, "Whether you believe it or not, the whole thing is really just an accident." I didn't think of dealing with the Tang family at first, I just wanted to kill the emperor. ”

"Go on. Tang Zixi said coldly.

Ji Ting's face showed a look of memory, and said: "That was a few years ago, that time I originally planned to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor, but I didn't expect the palace to be too big, and I got lost not long after I entered." It didn't take long for me to be spotted by the guards, and a fight broke out. Those guards were very martial arts, and although I fought my way out of the siege, I was also seriously injured. I don't know where I went, I just remember that there was a strong fragrance of flowers. Just as I was trying to find my way, a group of guards rushed out of nowhere, and this time I didn't escape and was caught by them. The lead one led me to a very dark room. There were two people in there, and one of them asked me, "Do I want to die or live?" Of course I want to live. Then he gave me a token to go to the three men and tell them about the plan. ”
