Chapter 65 Xing Shi and Asking for Guilty!

The sun rose and the sun set, and it was already the afternoon of the second day in a blink of an eye.

With the departure of Nuxia Luo and Xiao Yunli, the small courtyard in Shuanggui Alley became much quieter. A green sprout had emerged from the melon stand, but nothing could be seen.

The windows of the west wing were closed, and Niao Niao, who couldn't go out, was lying on the bed with his paws upturned. He glanced at the motionless Ye Jing Tang, and couldn't help but miss the little watermelon sister, big milk sister, and fat girl who would feed it. Sister Toulong, and Sister Poached Egg...

"grumble!"

Niao Niao raised her claws and kicked Ye Jing Tang to remind her that it was time to eat.

Unfortunately, no response.

Ye Jingtang sat cross-legged by the window, focused his mind, and felt the changes in his body. Although he couldn't explain clearly, after studying "Dragon Calling Picture" for a long time, he could vaguely feel that there was a "qi" circulating in his body.

This 'Qi' is completely different from the internal energy of Shen Dantian's martial arts, and it is even more obscure and hard to find, and it may even make people feel that it is just their own illusion.

But as long as you practice according to the guidance of Minglongtu, this hallucination will appear. After many attempts, Ye Jingtang can confirm that there is indeed an invisible and intangible qi in his body.

As for the effect, I haven't felt it yet, but according to King Jing's explanation, practicing the 'Dragon Elephant Diagram' can be powerful. The effect is estimated to be to moisturize the muscles and make the body stronger.

Ao Ye was on duty last night. After returning home, he was pondering "Song of the Dragon" in the room. Before he knew it, he had reached the present moment. When he was seriously practicing, he suddenly heard:

"Goo~ Goo~~~"

It sounded like a chicken crowing, but the sound was completely out of tune.

Opening his eyes, Niao Niao was standing on the window sill, raising his neck... no, no neck, he should have raised his head and cooed at him.

Ye Jingtang's eyes were helpless, he took out the dried meat box from the drawer, placed it in front of Niao Niao, and then felt it a little - he didn't sleep all night, he was not tired or sleepy, he even felt refreshed, it seems that "Singing Dragon" "Picture" is indeed not a mortal thing.

He put on a good posture and tried to continue practicing the method of the 'Dragon Elephant Picture', but he hadn't entered the state yet, and heard:
thump, thump...

"Shock?"

thump, thump...

There was a knock on the door from outside the yard.

When Niao Niao heard the sound, she regained her spirits and began to open the window by herself.

Ye Jingtang calmed down, put on his robes and opened the courtyard door, only to see Sanniang standing at the door, holding a food box in her hand, dressed as usual, with a waist-length skirt and decent hair accessories, she looked like A smart and capable woman from a big family.

However, the makeup is slightly different. Before going out, she has been well-groomed, with a masculine cherry red lip balm on her lips, which exudes a moist color in the setting sun, like a cherry waiting to be picked.

"It's already afternoon, why are you still sleeping? What did you do last night?"

Pei Xiangjun frowned, his eyes were quite resentful, he looked like a wronged lady who came to ask for an explanation after a man stayed out at night.

Ye Jingtang didn't expect Sanniang to change back after only a few days of effort, and couldn't help showing a smile:

"I was ordered to inspect Miyagi last night, and I stayed up all night without sleep. Come in and talk."

Pei Xiangjun came to look for Ye Jingtang the night before, and did not return all night for two consecutive days. She thought that Ye Jingtang was poached by King Jing, and she was quite worried.

After all, if the cabbage is dug up by the chivalrous women of the rivers and lakes, it will not affect Honghualou; but if it is poached by the queen, the property of Qinglongtang will have to become a stunning dowry.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang was not in good spirits, she walked up to her and felt the pulse on Ye Jingtang's wrist:
"You were called to inspect Miyagi just after something happened yesterday. Is it easy for the imperial court to use it, but is it not enough?"

"It's hard for those who are capable. Prince Jing also appreciates me, so he entrusts me with this important task."

"Those who can still do more work..."

Seeing that Ye Jingtang's pulse was strong and there was nothing unusual, Pei Xiangjun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and went to the main house to put down the food box in his hand:
"Miss Ning'er is gone. There is no cook at home. Why do you still live here? The Pei family is so big, there is no shortage of chopsticks..."

"I'm used to living alone. The Pei family are all female dependents. It's really inconvenient to live there."

"Hmph~ Are you afraid that the maid at home will take advantage of you?"

"Ugh……"

Ye Jingtang shook his head and chuckled, opened the food box, and found that there were carefully prepared meals and a jug of wine inside.

Niao Niao suddenly regained her spirits, swished across the courtyard, and landed on the table.

Pei Xiangjun held Niao Niao in his arms and asked:
"I heard that Xue Bodhi met with King Jing? What's the matter? Tell me."

While Ye Jingtang feasted, he briefly talked about the encounter with Xue Bodhi, and then said:
"I thought the Grandmaster was so powerful that it would be nothing more than that in a real fight. If I am great at swordsmanship, he would have to lie down as soon as I met him."

"Xue Bodhi is an old thief in the rivers and lakes. He is probably in his sixties or seventies. He retired more than ten years ago. Now he can draw with you. It can only be said that he is getting stronger and stronger."

What Pei Xiangjun said here, he urged:

"Seeing that the situation is not good, should I use a gun or use a gun? If the court finds out my identity, I will leave the property of Tianshuiqiao at worst and open a court in another place. If you lose money, you can earn it again. If you lose people, you will really lose it."

Ye Jingtang smiled and said: "I have my own sense of proportion, if I am really dying, how can I hide my moves and use them?"

"How long do you have to patrol the palace? Li Xiangzhu and the others have already left in advance, and the boat arranged by the family is waiting at the pier, and they can leave at any time."

"I've already told King Jing that I don't need to enter the palace today. If I have nothing to do tomorrow, I can leave."

……

The two chatted for a while, when the sound of wheels and Xiu He's words suddenly sounded outside the alley:

"Eh?! The daughter of the people pays homage to Prince Jing..."

"Excuse me, Ye Jingtang is inside?"

"Here, with our boss..."

……
-
The double luxury carriage was parked outside the alley, and the tall beauty walked out of the carriage under the guard of the white-haired old woman.

Dongfang Liren still wore the domineering fat-headed dragon python robe, but the bun was replaced by a bookish young lady's style, with pearl hairpins inserted obliquely and red rouge on his lips. The old streets are brightened up a bit.

Dongfang Liren gently raised his hand, motioning for Xiuhe to excuse himself, and led the white-haired old woman into a remote alley.

Shuanggui Lane is very old, and more than a dozen houses along the way are dilapidated. If she hadn't come here in person, she would not have known such a dilapidated place in the capital.

"Say hello to Jingzhao Mansion and renovate this street."

"Renovation can only be done for a while. There were a lot of people in Ranfang Street in the previous dynasty. After the founding of the People's Republic, in order to facilitate control, workshops of all sizes were moved to the west of the city, and this place has gradually declined. To make this place active, as I have seen it, it is necessary to specialize in it. Make a business and put it here..."

During the chat, a bird flew to the top of the wall and waved its wings to say hello:
"jijiji~"

Dongfang Liren smiled, raised his arms to catch Niao Niao, and looked towards the courtyard gate.

The gate of the courtyard opened at this time, a man and a woman came out of it, the man was tall and handsome, and the woman was soft and dignified, just like a young couple with good looks.

Dongfang Liren blinked, and his eyes fell on Pei Xiangjun involuntarily.

"Your Highness."

"Minister Pei Xiangjun, pay my respects to Your Highness."

"Who is this girl?"

Ye Jingtang approached and warmly introduced: "This is the head of the Pei family. Outsiders are called Pei Sanniang. I don't know if Your Highness has heard of it."

After Dongfang Liren got to know Ye Jingtang, he got to know the Pei family, and knew that the head of the Pei family was a woman. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"I've heard about it, but I didn't expect it to be so young and beautiful."

Pei Xiangjun bowed and said, "Prince Jing congratulates me. I heard that Jingtang had an accident the day before yesterday. Minnv came over to take a look. Um... Minnv will take my leave first."

Naturally, Dongfang Liren didn't want to stay, he nodded and saluted, watched Pei Xiangjun walk away gracefully, and even glanced at Pei Xiangjun's charming figure.

Ye Jingtang didn't notice these small details, and after seeing Sanniang off, he raised his hand to signal:

"Your Highness, go in and sit down."

Dongfangli asked the white-haired old woman to wait outside, and walked into the yard with the bird in his arms. He was quite surprised to see the flowers and plants planted by the wall:
"You are a big man, and you are quite particular about your family."

If Ye Jingtang really lived alone, the courtyard would not be so elegant. He couldn't say anything about these things, so he just smiled casually and brought Dongfang Liren to the main room:

"The house is not big, and there is no place to stay, as long as His Highness doesn't dislike it."

Dongfang Li was born as the second princess with golden branches and jade leaves. When she was crowned queen by her sister, the stables at home were more spacious than here. Seeing such a capable man as Ye Jingtang living in such a poor house, I felt a little bit sighed in my heart. I felt that Ye Jingtang He is indeed a humble gentleman without arrogance, impetuosity or fame and fortune.

However, these thoughts were not expressed. Dongfang Liren came to sit at the square table, put on the posture of a queen, and said with a slightly cold face:
"Ye Jingtang, how many things have you kept from me?!"

Ye Jingtang was about to go to the kitchen to get hot water to make tea, when he heard the menacing words, he couldn't help but be at a loss:

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Dongfang Liren sits in an even and stable posture, with a bright and beautiful face that is not angry but arrogant, as if examining a traitor who is deceiving his superiors and subordinates:
"Confess yourself, this king can still be lenient, if you insist on pointing it out, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

"grumble……"

Niao Niao felt that the atmosphere was not right, she closed her beak quietly, and moved a few steps to the side...
