Red waist breaking line

Chapter 20

After sitting for a while, she realized something was wrong.Although the surroundings of this room are harmoniously matched, the plain color is too much, everywhere is plain white and snowy, without any vitality.

At this time, the maidservant brought a suitcase with a few handymen, saying that it was Gao Yunrong's order to deliver daily clothing and accessories.

Xiao Ye Zi put away the suitcase, opened it and saw that it was a plain white dress again, and couldn't help feeling even more depressed.Seeing that she seemed dissatisfied, the maid hurriedly explained that it was the uniform of a servant, so it was all white.The servant girl's attitude was quite flattering, which surprised Xiao Yezi.

After wandering for so many years, few people are willing to put down their bodies to flatter her, and she is already thankful for not bullying her.In the past, I always thought that if I succeeded in my struggle and gained power, I would naturally deserve such respect.But at this moment, she wasn't happy at all, she just responded politely and laughed awkwardly.

After talking a few idle words, the servants are still stuck in the place and just won't leave.Xiao Yezi was a little puzzled, but then thought of something, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to touch all around, but there was nothing valuable to reward.The maid didn't care, just glanced at the suitcase.Xiao Yezi suddenly realized, turned around and searched for a long time in the suitcase. Except for the white clothes, they were also some daily necessities, and there were very few jewelry.Seeing this, the servant woman had a slightly worried face.Xiao Ye Zi felt embarrassed, and wanted to explain the reason, but refused to give the reward, but when she moved the clothes in the box, a string of white bracelets fell out of the clothes.She didn't look at it carefully, and she didn't know how much the bracelet was worth, so she picked it up and gave it to the servants as a gift to relieve her urgent need.The servant girl was grateful for the reward and left happily.

Xiao Ye Zi stood at the door, holding the door frame with her hands, watching the servant girl leave happily, feeling quite uncomfortable.Compared with Gao Yunrong and Xue Yue, a lady from a first-class family, even though she is dressed in the same white clothes, her hair and hands are all privately matched with treasures.I am rootless and poor, and the only reward I can get is from others, just like the earrings that Yang Yizhao borrowed from her, no matter how they change hands, they are not my own.Although she understands this truth, but in a different environment, the contrast is even more intense.

It is useless to think too much.Forget it, since it comes, it will be safe.Nothing to do, here is not far from the rose garden, why not pick a few flowers, put them in bottles, decorate them, and refresh yourself.

A man walked straight to the garden.People respected her along the way, but she was not proud at all.All these people treat her well because of Yun Xi's promotion.Even that water chestnut is probably no exception.If one day I am no longer favored by Yunxi, will it be completely different from the current situation?

It's okay, I just want to stay here.Only by staying here can Li Li be found and protected.

There are many flowers in the garden, especially the roses, which are big, red and delicate.Xiao Ye Zi found a pair of flower scissors from the corner, and picked out a few good ones for herself.Just when she was about to go back, Yang Yizhao suddenly appeared at the gate of the garden.

Seeing that she was an acquaintance, Xiao Yezi immediately felt a lot more relaxed, and smiled sincerely: "Why didn't you go back to Liren Pavilion?"

Yang Yizhao sighed and forced a smile: "I just secretly went to see Yue'er, so I stopped by to see you."

Xiao Yezi laughed: "So I went to see my fiancée, no wonder she has a bitter look on her face. It must be that your fiancée with high-sighted eyes has pissed you off. You two have a long-standing marriage contract, and it's not a private decision for life. Why? Do you still need to be sneaky when you meet? It’s just a close servant, not the emperor’s concubine. Do you need a license to meet and chat with husband and wife?”

Yang Yizhao shook his head, with a bitter smile: "I'm not a concubine, so I won't lose. The servant is the personal entourage of the clan master. Although he doesn't have the real power of the heavenly king, he is still in the central position and plays an important role. The heavenly king clan has long established regulations. Those who are too close to their servants without permission must be sent to the Sword Holding Palace, and the ten swordsmen will punish the crime of fornication according to the law."

Xiao Ye Zi was speechless: "But you and Xue Yue will never get married? I don't believe it. For the name of a close servant, even the future husband will be ignored as a stranger from now on? How can there be such a reason?"

Yang Yizhao smiled even more bitterly: "There is no right or wrong reason, it's just a human choice. My engagement is now in name only. Soon the Xue family will send someone to withdraw the engagement. The man who was forced to withdraw from the engagement, Heavenly King is also the first one to help me."

Seeing the bitter sadness on his handsome face, Xiao Yezi softened her heart, and comforted her, "Maybe you men will withdraw from the marriage, but won't women be allowed to follow suit? But don't think too much, in my opinion, Although Miss Xue is a bit arrogant, she is sincere to you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to be jealous of me everywhere, right?"

Yang Yizhao lowered his head and said dejectedly: "In short, I am not capable enough to make Liren Pavilion better. Otherwise, Yue'er would not have chosen to be a servant. I also want to say sorry to you. I only wanted you to replace me. Get rid of the siege, who knows that it is self-defeating, and it really sent you into this pit."

Seeing him feel so guilty, Xiao Yezi's heart softened, and she said softly, "Don't say that. Originally, I also wanted to come to Lingyan to work for myself, and I just took advantage of the trend to help you make up for it. If you have the intention because of this If you don't, then I'll be even more ashamed."

Yang Yizhao sighed: "You are too naive, thinking that I really don't know anything? But have you ever thought that going to Lingyan is not suitable for you?... Forget it, it's a done deal. Maybe this is fate. We will meet in private in the future I am afraid that there are not many opportunities, I have thought about it, and I have some secrets about the past affairs of the Heavenly King Gang. Although it is inconvenient to tell, I still think it is necessary to inform you. For your reference."

Xiao Ye Zi nodded obediently: "Say it."

Yang Yizhao looked around to see if there was no one around, and then led Xiao Yezi to the secret place to make sure that no one was following him, and then he started talking.

"During the training of the candidate servants, I think you should understand that the Tianwang Gang in Zhaoyin is a Jianghu gang in name, but it is actually controlled by the Zhaoyin court, which is equivalent to an extremely large military force of the court's preparation army. Even At one time, it could be said that the imperial court's preparation army was equal to the Tianwang Gang."

"Li Yue's descendants founded Yunzhong City, the predecessor of the Tianwang Gang. Its main purpose was to fight against Yanjin. Later, in order to assist the Zhaoyin court to rule and expand its military and economic strength, it was necessary to absorb more classes. Alliance. Only then did Chuangshilou, Fengruiying, and Lirenge join in. The four gangs formed an alliance, and this was the existence of the Tianwang Gang. Except for the gang leader who was appointed by the Zhaoyin court, the leaders of the four gangs were Canonized by Zhaoyin as the Four Heavenly Kings of East, West, North, South, and North. In order to maintain the Heavenly Kings Gang firmly, the gang rules stipulate that among the four Heavenly Kings who are sealed up, one must be the next leader of the gang."

"For the purpose of supervising the Heavenly King, ensuring the normal internal operation of the Tianwang Gang, and assisting the gang leader in managing the affairs of the whole gang, the first gang leader specially set up two institutions, the Chijian Palace and Shanglingyan. The Chijian Palace presides over the gang. For legal affairs, any member of the gang who violates the laws of the gang will be dealt with by the ten swordsmen. Shanglingyan is the place where the gang leader rests, handles the gang's government affairs, and meets foreign guests. The ten close servants are resident in Shanglingyan to assist the gang leader in daily life , a facade agency for government affairs.”

"Any organization has a leader, and the ten swordsmen and the ten close servants are no exception. The heads of the ten swordsmen and the ten close attendants are called the sword-holders and the lamp-carrying messengers respectively, and they are also the commanders of the ten swordsmen and the ten close attendants. Who will hold this position? It is clearly written in the gang rules, and it needs to be ordered by the gang leader."

"Whether it's ten swordsmen or ten servants, the composition of these two organizations is not determined by the leader of the gang, but by the four heavenly kings. According to the needs of the gang and the current situation of the talents of the subordinates, the heavenly kings nominate the backup staff respectively. and carry out a unified selection. Due to the different strengths and status of the four divisions, the ratio of the selected talents to the final appointment is also different."

"At the beginning, among the ten people, Yunzhong City accounted for four, and Chuangshilou, Fengruiying, and Liren Pavilion accounted for two. But in recent years, the development of the four sub-helms has been uneven, and the proportion of positions has also been different. It has changed. It has become the status quo that Yunzhong City, Chuangshi Building, and Fengrui Camp each occupy three, and Liren Pavilion occupies one.”

"According to the rules of the gang, the selection of swordsmen or close servants is the responsibility of the four heavenly kings. The gang leader may or may not participate, but the principle of the four heavenly kings discussing together has always been firm. Until a few years ago, the leader of the Xiao clan was awarded by Zhaoyin's court. With the strong support of the main combat faction, the limelight is the same for a while. So, for the first time, he broke the tradition of this selection."

Xiao Ye Zi was stunned: "How did you break it?"

Yang Yizhao said: "He surpassed the Four Heavenly Kings and appointed a girl named Jing Ying to be his personal attendant. Soon after, Jing Ying was promoted by the head of the Xiao clan and became the unparalleled envoy of the lantern. This girl named Jing Ying , is not a lady from a great family, on the contrary, she is a helpless poor girl who has not been in the gang for a long time, has no power or power, and has no outstanding achievements."

Hearing this, Xiao Yezi suddenly felt very depressed. She hid it and said with a smile, "She must be very beautiful, or she has some special talents."

Yang Yizhao continued to narrate: "It's not that she is beautiful, but her eyes are clear and her smile is innocent. Her performance in political affairs is mediocre, but after succeeding Fengdeng, she is conscientious and meticulous. She really puts Xiao Gangzhu as the first. At this moment, rumors spread all over the place, all saying that the relationship between Jing Ying and Chief Xiao was unusual. As for why it was unusual, no one had any proof. But in the eyes of everyone, these two people were already cutting things off and on. "

Xiao Yezi's face was a little stiff, and she forced a smile: "Then, what do you think, sister Mei?"

"Sister Mei naturally wouldn't say anything. She also publicly spoke for Xiao's leader, and she never believed such a thing. At the same time, she got very close to Jing Ying, almost like sisters. After serving as Feng Deng One year, Jing Ying contracted a kind of malaise without knowing it, and after several months of suffering, she finally ran out of fuel. When Jing Ying was dying, Chief Xiao accompanied her to spend the last night alone. The next day , Lord Xiao buried Jing Ying in water with his own hands, and found a skilled craftsman to fill in a small island at the place where Jing Ying was buried in water, planting Jing Ying's favorite Xiangfei bamboo all over, as a reward and commemoration of Jing Ying. Since Jing Ying left, a year has passed , Lord Xiao never chose the envoy of the lamp from among the servants. A while ago, one of the servants suffered from an old illness for many years, and the medicine stone was difficult to cure, and unfortunately passed away. The leader planned to choose a servant to fill this vacancy. The Four Heavenly Kings have been preparing for a long time. I don't know... I don't know..."

When Xiao Yezi heard this, her heart was completely cold, and she just smiled dumbly: "Who knew he specially kept me?"

Yang Yizhao sighed: "Ordinarily I shouldn't say these things, but if I don't, I'll... In short, you should be careful. If there is anything I can help, feel free to come to me. Do you understand?"

Xiao Ye Zi smiled, but her heart was quite complicated.Yang Yizhao's move made her feel grateful and at the same time at a loss. She knew that he was caring, but she didn't want to hear these words, so she said, "Thank you for saying so much. No matter what happens, since I decided to stay, everything will be fine. It's up to me to bear it. It's getting late, and I'm going back."

After all, Xiao Ye Zi stood up and ran back to the residence as if flying, but didn't even take the rose.This Yang Yizhao, didn't you hear that he has a good relationship with Chief Xiao? Why did you tell me these things behind Yun Xi's back?And Yun Xi, does he know what his subordinates are saying about him behind his back?Why did Yunxi promote me to be a servant? Is it really what Yang Yizhao said?All kinds of questions flooded in, making Xiao Yezi's mind swell for a moment, making it difficult to sort out.She threw herself on the bed, covered her face with the pillow, and let out a muffled cry.

In the evening, Lingxiao accompanied her through dinner, taught her some homework, left some homework for Xiao Yezi to review, and went to serve Yunxi.Xiao Ye Zi sat blankly by the bed alone, looking at the moon outside the window, feeling lonely for the first time.Li Li, Li Li, where are you?Are you okay now?I always thought that if I had a firm foothold in the Heavenly King Gang, I would be able to find you.But now it seems that it is not as easy as imagined.If you are by my side, I'm afraid you will laugh at me again.But as long as I can find you, these are small things, I can go on.

Thinking of Li Li, she suddenly felt warm in her heart, as if she had a reason to bear it.She got up silently, walked around the house a few times, found tea from the cabinet, and wanted to make some tea to drink.Lingxiao serves the boss all the year round, so all kinds of tea are naturally prepared.Xiao Yezi didn't care about the famous tea, she just found a small bag of the most common tea, put it in her purse, and was going to boil water outside the house to make tea.As soon as she walked to the door, she suddenly saw a figure flashing outside.Confused, she opened the door and followed.The person in front didn't walk fast, as if he was deliberately waiting for her, as if he was afraid that she would be lost.This made Xiao Yezi even more confused, and her footsteps became faster and faster.The figure flashed in the east and covered in the west, walking non-stop, the route was complicated, like a maze.When walking straight to a dense forest, the figure suddenly disappeared into the darkness ahead.She stopped and looked back, but she could no longer see the way she had come.It seems that this figure knows his own details, and clearly knows that he is not familiar with the surrounding terrain, but he knows every plant and tree here like the back of his hand.It seems to be the person who went to Lingyan.

"Come out!" She said coldly, "Isn't it a loss for you to spend so much effort to lure me here without showing your face?"
