Knowing that he had to go through the back door, the female visitor in the curtain hat laughed strangely, but she didn't say anything and followed him cooperatively. The two of them, like thieves, finally arrived at the west courtyard.
It was dark in the courtyard, and there was no lamp. The boy was about to call someone, but unexpectedly Yuan Zhen jumped out, pulled the female guest in, told the boy to stay on the lookout, and then closed the courtyard door again. , bolted securely from the inside.
The female guest chirped softly: "I haven't seen you for many days, Yuanjun, why have you become so sneaky?"
Yuan Zhen didn't answer, just stared at her, and after a long while, he asked in a trembling voice: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
"I originally thought I was a human being..." The female guest took off her curtain and chuckled, "But after you, Yuanjun, did this to me, I felt like a ghost again!"
"Don't try to scare people!" Yuan Zhen trembled with his hands, blew a bright fire note, and came close to her face. He saw her charming eyebrows clearly. He trembled unconsciously. When his eyes fell on the charming peach blossoms at the corners of her lips, he moved his hands. Shaking, the fire stick fell to the ground, instantly igniting the dead grass on the ground.
He was startled and hurriedly stepped on it with his feet. After working for a long time, he finally put out the fire, but he was panting from exhaustion and covered with sweat.
Jiang Qingge stood there and looked at each other coldly: "It turns out that not only has he turned into a ghost, but he has also turned into a coward!"
"How can you not be scary when a dead person like you suddenly appears?" Yuan Zhen glanced at her secretly, "Are you really not dead? But there are rumors outside that you are already dead! The body is still in person by someone close to the prince. Throw it in a mass grave and feed it to the dogs..."
In the middle of speaking, he suddenly saw the peach blossom at the corner of Jiang Qingge's mouth twisting. Looking at it in the dark night, it looked like some kind of man-eating monster. He suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Qingge stared at him coldly for a moment, then chuckled: "Yuanjun, I remember that night, you were so bold and decisive! You just used that pill to seal her mouth..."
Yuan Zhen's scalp started to bristle from the moment she said the word "that night". When she heard the word "that pill", her whole body became violent. He covered her mouth and dragged her to the utility room while whispering. Roaring: "What are you talking about? Do you want to kill me?"
Jiang Qingge didn't struggle and let him drag her along.
The two entered the utility room, and Yuan Zhen let go of his hand and turned to look at her: "Tell me, why did you come to me?"
"What for?" Jiang Qingge raised his eyebrows and chuckled, swaying his slender waist, "Yuanjun, when I came here before, you never asked me such a question! Now that I'm in trouble, you are so cold and cold, but you forget Have you lost the friendship we once had?"
"Okay!" Yuan Zhen looked irritated, "I'm not a fool like Xiao or Wen! Both of us know exactly what we are! It's just that we are working together to have a happy time! Since we are a romantic couple, Disappear at the sight of the wind! It would be a bit unethical for you to come to me in your current situation!"
"What a charming couple!" The peach blossom at the corner of Jiang Qingge's mouth was so distorted that it almost showed its true character like a centipede. She stared at Yuan Zhen coldly, and for a moment, she suddenly turned around with a strange smile.
"If you are ruthless, I will stop! Please take care of yourself! I want to see how long you, a quick son-in-law who rides a dragon, can last!"
The last sentence almost came out from the corners of her lips!
How could a veteran official like Yuan Zhen fail to hear the threat implicit in her words? He grabbed her with a sad face and said, "Qingjun, don't do this!"
"What happened to me?" Jiang Qingge raised his eyebrows, "Is it wrong to ask you to take care of yourself?"
"You..." Yuan Zhen sighed and compromised first, "Tell me, what do you want to do when you enter my house this time!"
"Do you even need to ask?" Jiang Qingge hummed, "I want you to help me take back this world!"
"Take it back?" Yuan Zhen was stunned, "When did this world belong to you? You and that Xiao Jue never got this world, right?"
Jiang Qingge glanced at him: "Just tell me whether you will do it or not, don't talk nonsense!"
"I don't have that ability!" Yuan Zhen cried sadly, "You know how I became an official! It's all nepotism! Apart from reciting a few shabby poems and saying a few flattery words, I don't know anything. of!"
"No, I'll teach you!" Jiang Qingge suddenly leaned over and put his mouth to his ear, "You will do whatever I say! As long as you do well, I guarantee that everything in your old Taishan will be It becomes yours! The official position, wealth, everything belongs to you!"
"I...I don't want those..." Yuan Zhen shrank his head.
"You have to take what I want to give you, even if you don't want it!" Jiang Qingge smiled strangely, "Or, lose everything, including your life! Or, get everything! You have to choose between the two paths!"
…
On the outskirts of Beijing, Qunfang Garden.
Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and it was destined to be impossible to reach the capital before dark, Meng Yiping followed the original plan and arranged for the delegation to stay in Qunfang Garden, hoping to use the warm spring in it to catch the wind and wash away the dust for the delegation.
The steward of Qunfang Garden got the news in advance and got ready early. When the envoys arrived, he served them fine wine and delicious food. Just when the envoys from the four countries were about to have a good drink, they suddenly heard a scream and saw the two envoys from the Chongqing Kingdom lost their voices in surprise. Call!
Everyone turned around and saw that the two young men who came to pass the dishes poured a boiling pot of mutton soup on their heads!
The two of them were so burned that they screamed and ran around with their heads in their hands. However, after running a few steps, they were stabbed to the core!
All this happened in an instant, and the movements of the two boys were so fast that by the time everyone reacted, they had disappeared!
"There is an assassin!" The guards around the envoys from various countries quickly gathered around to protect their master. King Long called Meng Yiping repeatedly: "Master Meng, come quickly! Something happened!"
He called several times, but no one responded. When he looked back, he saw that Meng Yiping had fallen to the ground at some point, and blood was pouring out from his neck. The blood had dyed the ground beneath him red. .
And the several guards around him were also lying around him at this time, each one slit his throat with a sword, extremely clean and neat!
"Oh my god! Why are they all dead?" King Long exclaimed, "What can we do? Come on! Come on! Come on! Help! Why is no one in charge? Where is Emperor Xiao? Where is the prince? Invite us Are you here just to kill us? Do you know that if you kill us, you will have to pay for it with the lives of tens of thousands of people in Great Xiao?"
Mu Ya curled her lips when she heard this: "Did they kill you? The person they killed was obviously a big Yu dog! They didn't even touch a hair on your head, so what are you yelling about!"
"Why are you talking?" King Long glared, "Even if you have enmity with Dayu, but they are all dead now, you shouldn't say evil words, right?"
"That's right!" The envoy from Nanming Kingdom agreed, "This is too outrageous! You are here on behalf of Xiyang Kingdom, so you are so rude and rude, it is really ridiculous!"
"People from Xiyang Kingdom are like this!" Dongwan said softly, "Didn't we see them on the road just now?"
