The sky was covered with thick clouds, and it looked like heavy rain was coming. On the tower of Huiyang City, there was a column of soldiers, staring intently at the outside of the city.

Behind this column of soldiers, there were four soldiers surrounding a man with a wounded arm, and one of the soldiers urged: "Come and listen, last night the city lord hurriedly led people to sneak attack, did he win or win?" The other three chimed in, and asked the wounded man to hurry up.

The wounded man swallowed and spat, and said, "Of course we won, City Lord Fang took two thousand of us to rampage through the enemy camp, killing countless people, and successfully defeating us. The two envoys of the palace were rescued. ”

"Alas, no, I heard that City Lord Fang rescued three people this time, and one of them is a woman. Another soldier said.

"Yes, it's three people. ”

The third soldier scratched his head and wondered: "But the only one who went out of the city gate yesterday was ??" There are two palace envoys, and where did the third woman come from? ”

The wounded man looked around at the four of them, and said, "Do you know who this woman is?"

The four of them looked at each other and shook their heads together.

The wounded man lowered his voice: "That woman is Dongfang Rui, the former sect leader of the Thousand Poisons Sect. ”

"Ah, Dongfang Rui, isn't this our enemy?" the four soldiers wondered.

"Now Ye Jihan is?? The palace envoy, and Dongfang Rui is his daughter-in-law, now even if Bai Qingxiang comes over to ask for someone, do you think the city lord will hand over Dongfang Rui to him?" "In this world, there are no eternal enemies and allies, all of which are determined by the situation at the time, and we just have to listen to the orders from above, and we can see through other things but may not be able to guess through them. ”

The four soldiers nodded yes one after another, feeling that this was reasonable, as soldiers, although they could see through some high-level decisions, they were really unpredictable about many movements and changes, but if they guessed it thoroughly, it was also useless.

On this side, Fang Xiaonuo was restless, although Ye Jihan and Zhu Xingtong were not in danger of life, but the appearance of Dongfang Rui put him in a dilemma. On the one hand, Ye Jihan and Zhu Xingtong made a great contribution to the killing in Xuanfeng He's barracks, and on the other hand, Dongfang Rui was the person his close friend Bai Qingxiang had always wanted to arrest, if he didn't arrest him and send it to Bai Qingxiang this time, the opportunity would be lost, and it would be difficult to have it again, and Bai Qingxiang would definitely hold a grudge against him after knowing about it. But if he caught Dongfang Rui privately, Ye Jihan woke up to ask him for someone, and then made trouble with Mo Yunfan, Fang Xiaonuo would not be pleased, and Mo Xiyan would also add fuel and vinegar to Mo Yunfei.

Fang Xiaonuo stomped his feet again and again in a depressed manner, he felt a headache for Mo Xiyan, he really couldn't figure it out, he wanted to get rid of his rival for Mo Xiyan, and Mo Xiyan not only didn't appreciate it, but also had to confront him, which was too beyond Fang Xiaonuo's understanding.

Fang Xiaonuo's thoughts were confused, so he wanted to go and take a look at Ye Jihan. Walk through the corridor to the courtyard, and then pass through a stone path, there is a courtyard fenced with bamboo, which was built by Fang Xiaonuo specifically to entertain Mo Yunfan. And this place, which is surrounded by bamboo on the outside and has a very atmospheric atmosphere as a whole, has also been praised by Mo Yunfan, for which Huiyang City has also been exempted from tribute tax for a year. Fang Xiaonuo then remembered that Mo Yunfan hadn't been to Huiyang City for eight years, and he couldn't tell whether he had regrets in his heart, or whether he should be grateful to Mo Yunfan for trusting him and letting him guard the Mo family's barrier.

There are twelve rooms in the bamboo garden, two of which are Ye Yuhan and Zhu Xingtong. The two were wounded by knives and gunshots in no less than 30 places, but fortunately they did not hurt their muscles and bones, but they lost too much blood.

As soon as Fang Xiaonuo walked into the bamboo garden, he saw Dongfang Rui standing in the courtyard and was distracted, Fang Xiaonuo slowed down and coughed twice: "Dongfang girl, how is Ye Gongzi's injury?"

Dongfang Rui heard the cough, was staring at an orchid in front of her, in her memory, when she saw the orchid for the first time, her father was plucking it, telling her that the orchid stamen can be used in medicine, with twelve kinds of strange flowers in the Thousand Poisons Sect, it has a good effect on external injuries, at that time her arm had just been wiped off a piece of skin, and her father's action of bandaging her wound was full of warmth and love.

Dongfang Rui looked back and saw that it was Fang Xiaonuo, and immediately stopped the warm recollection: "Trauma, it will be fine for a few days of recuperation." ”

"That's good, that's good. "Fang Xiaonuo just wants Ye Jihan to live, for Zhu Xingtong, dying on the battlefield is also a hero of the Mo family, as long as Mo Xiyan doesn't give him small shoes, he is not afraid. "Can I go in and take a look at Ye Gongzi?" Fang Xiaonuo pleaded, blurted out and secretly scolded himself, in his territory, asking for a woman who should be his prisoner.

"He needs to recuperate, so don't bother him. "For the position of the leader of the Thousand Poisons Sect, although Dongfang Rui doesn't attach much importance to it, but the position was taken away, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and he also knew that the person in front of him cooperated with the robber, and the other party had also tried to arrest him, these dissatisfaction Dongfang Rui couldn't cover up, and could only turn into verbal rejection. "Now that the army is outside the city, you are the lord of the city, and you should pay more attention to the war. ”

Fang Xiaonuo was angry in his heart, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure, at least before he thought of the best of both worlds to deal with Dongfang Rui, he still had to treat him with good words: "Ye Gongzi invaded the enemy camp late at night, causing chaos in the enemy's position, not to mention killing the enemy, it also frustrated their spirit, on behalf of the military and civilians of Huiyang City, it is also appropriate for me to come and see Ye Gongzi." Seeing that Dongfang Rui didn't mean to agree at all, Fang Xiaonuo had to continue. "Since Ye Gongzi needs to recuperate, then I'll come back in a few days, Dongfang girl, Fang Mou has taken his leave. ”

"City Lord Fang. Dongfang Rui seemed to remember something in an instant, "The Thousand Poisons Sect has changed hands in my hands, and it is really a shame to say it, but during this time, I want to understand a truth." ”

"Please. Dongfang Rui took the initiative to mention the Thousand Poisons Sect, which surprised Fang Xiaonuo.

Dongfang Rui said: "No matter who is the sect leader, he should put the interests of the disciples and the people who support the Thousand Poisons Sect first, since he Bai Qingxiang likes to be the sect leader, then he will do it, but he must not seek his own selfish desires in the position of the sect leader, otherwise I will not be the first to spare him." Can you bring these words to Bai Qingxiang?"

Fang Xiaonuo looked at Dongfang Rui in a daze, the Thousand Poisons Sect is a mysterious sect, even now, the location of the Thousand Poisons Sect is not clear to him, and he knows very little about the overall strength of the entire sect. This time, Dongfang Rui took the initiative to mention that he didn't want to be the sect leader, was it because of Ye Jihan's expedient measures in his sleep? Seeing that Dongfang Rui's expression was resolute and didn't seem to be acting, Fang Xiaonuo fell into speculation for a while, and even forgot to answer.
