Jiangbei female bandits

Chapter 68

At the same time, in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the Empress Dowager Feng covered her mouth with a veil, and sobbed in a low voice: "You child, why are you so stubborn! Do you know that because of your marriage with Ah Ce, Auntie's How much pain did you suffer, how much effort did you expend?"

Yunsheng was sitting on Xiudun in front of the soft couch, lowered his head slightly, with a trace of stubbornness on the corner of his mouth, and remained silent.

The Empress Dowager Feng glanced at her, wiped away her tears, and persuaded bitterly: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should always think about your mother. You should know better than me how she is related to your father. What did she do back then?" Want to attack a child who is less than two years old? When she was in Yunxi, she was also a gentle and kind girl. Why did she suddenly become vicious after marrying into the He family? She is fighting for you as the eldest daughter, so that you If you can marry Ah Ce, you will live in peace for the rest of your life! Auntie has been living for you all her life!"

Yun Sheng pursed his lips tightly, and after a while, he slowly let go, and said: "The person in my cousin's heart is Sister Xie, and she has been her since Qingzhou. Even if I get in, I will end up like my mother." .”

"A Ce has you in my heart!" The Empress Dowager Feng didn't care to cry for a while, she leaned over and held Yun Sheng's hands, "Yun Sheng, you and A Ce have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, how can you compare with your parents? Think about it , if he didn't have you in his heart, how could he send someone to snatch you to Shengdu? Silly girl, you have been with Tuobayao for three years, how many men in this world can not mind this matter? Only Ah Ce, he knows For the details, it is too late to love and pity you, and I will never look down on you."

Yun Sheng said seriously: "Big sister, I've thought about it, even if I don't follow my cousin, I can live well."

Empress Dowager Feng persuaded her for so long, seeing that she still insisted on this sentence, she showed some annoyance, and said angrily: "You child, why don't you listen to persuasion! Then Xie Chennian is not just your cousin who robbed her." , but your identity, the entire He family!"

Yunsheng had a bit of arrogance in his bones, and in the past few years in the Xian family, his character has become much more resolute, and he only said: "Then I will give it to her! No matter what, daddy is still my daddy, and mother is also It's just my mother alone, she can't take away what I really care about, and what really cares about me!"

Empress Dowager Feng was speechless. Seeing her like this, Yun Sheng thought she was worried for her own sake, so he said, "Big Sister, I know you are doing it for my own good, but have you ever thought about it? It's Sister Xie, if I push forward, I will only annoy him. Why don't you step back and let him feel that I am sensible and feel pity."

What Yun Sheng said was absolutely correct, if this matter was placed on the Empress Dowager Feng herself, she would probably retreat in this way.But right now, the Empress Dowager Feng has other plans in mind, so she naturally refuses to let it go.She lowered her eyes and said to Yunsheng: "Yunsheng, don't blame the eldest sister for being partial. I want you to stay with Ah Ce so much, except that I watched you grow up. I like you wholeheartedly, but more It's because of my stupid little brother!"

Yun Sheng was slightly taken aback, and unconsciously asked, "Elder Sister, what do you mean by that?"

The Empress Dowager Feng sighed softly, and said: "Ah Ce is infatuated with that Xie Chennian, but Xie Chennian has something to belong to. She is following Ah Ce now, but she is coerced by your father and has to play tricks with Ah Ce."

When Yun Sheng heard this, he was astonished and astonished, and asked curiously, "Sister Xie, does she belong?"

Empress Dowager Feng looked at Yun Sheng calmly, and asked her, "Do you know about the entry of the Xian family's army?"

Yun Sheng nodded, it was because of Tuoba Yao who led the army away from Shangjing that He Zhen got the chance to rescue her from the royal court.It was also because the Xian family went south and was about to face off against the He family, which made her determined to return to Taixing's home and live and die with the family.

"Then do you know that the vanguard under Tuobayao's tent will be no better than Liuguxiao?" The Queen Mother Feng asked again.

Not only did Yun Sheng know that he had seen this person beside Tuobayao before, he said, "That person also has a Han name named Lu Xiao, I met him when I was in Qingzhou, and he was by Sister Xie's side at that time."

"The person Xie Chennian likes in his heart is this Lu Xiao." With a bitter smile on her lips, the Empress Dowager Feng added, "I only found out about these things recently. In the second year of Yongning, after Xie Chennian left Ah Ce, he was This Lu Xiao has been with her all the time, and the two of them have long been secretly in love. My stupid brother, when he heard that Xie Chennian had a change of heart, he rushed over all the way, and he did not know what tricks he used to force that Lu Xiao to return. Xian's."

Lu Xiao is indeed the Xian family who returned to Yongning four years ago. He transformed into the young master of the Buliugu tribe and won Tuobayao's trust.Yun Sheng knew all these things, and now that the Empress Dowager Feng said the same thing, he remembered the rumors he heard when he was in the Xian family, and said in a daze: "No wonder Lu Xiao has been unwilling to marry a wife. I like it, thank you sister."

The Empress Dowager Feng glanced at her, and continued: "Xie Chennian and Lu Xiao fell in love with each other, but they were separated by Ah Ce, and it was too late to hate Ah Ce, so how could she like him again? She is just pretending to him now, you If you don't believe me, then go ask your twelfth brother, he has a man named Ye Xiaoqi in his hand, it is because of this that Xie Chennian is willing to marry Ah Ce."

Empress Dowager Feng's words were mixed with truth and falsehood, and Yun Sheng was convinced of what she said. She was speechless for a while, and after a while, she said softly: "They shouldn't be like this."

"No, your father shouldn't have forced Xie Chennian to marry Ah Ce, and Ah Ce shouldn't have forced her to marry him, and fooled himself!" The Empress Dowager Feng sighed, paused, changed her tone, and said harshly, "Yunsheng, big sister will tell you the truth, I wish I could kill that Xie Chennian, so that she won't fall into the quagmire with Ah Ce and suffer a lifetime of pain."

Yun Sheng was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Absolutely not! Big sister."

The Empress Dowager Feng smiled wryly, and said: "I don't know, it's not because I'm afraid that Ah Ce will annoy me, but because I know that Xie Chennian is really innocent. If Ye Xiaoqi's life wasn't in your father's hands, she wouldn't be so complacent."

Yun Sheng sat silently for a while, but said, "Big Sister, I want to see Brother Twelve."

The Empress Dowager Feng did not stop her, but begged her in a loud voice: "Yun Sheng, think carefully about what big sister said, you and Ah Ce have been in love for many years, if you can be with each other, it will be much better than others."

Yun Sheng nodded in response, and then went out with the maid.Empress Dowager Feng watched Yun Sheng's figure leave the palace gate, and then she let out a long sigh of relief, and leaned back on the soft couch.Not long after, the confidant maid sent Yun Sheng back, glanced at the Empress Dowager Feng, and asked in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager's eyes are red and swollen, do you want my maidservant to boil some bright eye soup and apply it to you?"

Empress Dowager Feng smiled lightly and shook her head: "It's just a few tears. I'll be fine until it gets dark. I'll go to make medicine when I have time. If people know, I don't know what trouble will happen."

The court lady didn't say any more, she just leaned over and gently beat the Empress Dowager Feng's leg.Empress Dowager Feng closed her eyes and dozed off for a moment, then sneered lightly, and said mockingly: "Such parents can raise such a daughter, but she can stay in the Xian family for three years. You say she is If you are wise and stupid, is there still a god to bless you?"

The court lady thought for a moment, then replied cautiously: "This servant looks at Miss Yun Sheng as if she is very scheming."

The Empress Dowager Feng smiled slightly when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "The purer and kinder she is, the better. Good-hearted people do bad things with good intentions, and this is the most unreasonable thing to say."

The court lady is also a clever and cunning person, but at this moment she couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother was thinking, she hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I don't understand, but I just want to kill Ye Xiaoqi, why does the Queen Mother go through so much trouble?"

The Empress Dowager Feng smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Don't underestimate this Ye Xiaoqi, as long as this person dies in the hands of the He family, Xie Chennian and the He family will definitely break apart completely. In the future, there will be such a princess who hates the He family deeply." Now, our General and He Zhen will no longer be able to share the same boat."

The court lady seemed to understand but she didn't understand, but she closed her eyes again when she saw the Empress Dowager Feng, she didn't dare to ask again, she just thought to herself.

Besides, Yunsheng was sent back to He Mansion by the guards in the palace, when he saw He Ze's face, before he could say anything, tears flowed down his face.He Ze grew up with her since childhood and has always been close. He stretched out his arms to hug her, and said softly, "Silly girl, I just came back after so much trouble. Why are you crying?"

When Yunsheng heard this, he burst into tears instead.He Ze couldn't laugh or cry, coaxed her a few words, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and wipe away your tears and nose, and tell Brother Twelve to take a good look, but is she more beautiful?"

When his brother and sister separated, Yunsheng hadn't reached Ji, but now she is a big girl, her figure and appearance have changed a lot.He Ze seldom has true feelings for people, except for Yunsheng, who really treats him as his own daughter. He carefully scrutinized Yunsheng's face, his eye circles didn't feel a little hot, and deliberately teased Yunsheng: "Ouch , all the girls are girls who have turned into eighteen girls, and the more they become more beautiful, why are you getting uglier and uglier?"

Yun Sheng was so teased by him that he burst into laughter and said angrily, "Brother Twelve!"

He Ze smiled and said, "You still look good smiling, don't cry in the future."

Although Yunsheng has been in the Xian family for the past few years, He Ze has been paying close attention to it secretly. Knowing the general idea, he didn't ask about the affairs between her and Tuobayao, but simply asked her about the situation on the road, and said: : "The army of the Xian family is suppressing the situation. I should have gone back a long time ago. I just waited to see you, and this has been delayed until now. You and Brother Twelve are telling the truth, but do you really want to go home?"

He Zhen already knew that her daughter was in the Xian family, but for some reason, she did not try her best to rescue her until Tuoba Yao led the army to the south, and then rescued her.To her father, Yun Sheng had no complaints, but now that the He family was in danger and her mother was there, she couldn't stay out of it.Yun Sheng thought for a while and replied: "I really want to go back. No matter what, I am the daughter of the He family, how can I disregard the life and death of the He family."

He Ze was stunned when he heard the words, and subconsciously sneered, and said: "I don't know what uncle planned, let you, who is wholeheartedly for the daughter of the He family, ignore you, but insist on forcing the daughter who hates the He family to marry the Feng family. marriage."

Yun Sheng heard him talking about this, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Twelve, is Sister Xie really forced to marry my cousin?"

He Ze hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."

Yun Sheng couldn't help asking again: "Then who is Ye Xiaoqi?"

When she suddenly asked about Ye Xiaoqi, He Ze's heart skipped a beat. He smiled and replied, "I used to be just a bandit in the Taihang Mountains, and I have some affection for Xie Chennian."

Yun Sheng pondered for a moment, then asked: "Brother Twelve, may you ask me to meet this Ye Xiaoqi?"

He Ze was a little surprised, after thinking about it, he guessed that the Queen Mother must have said something to her.Both he and the Empress Dowager Feng knew that Ye Xiaoqi was Chen Nian's weakness, but neither of them dared to touch it lightly, because they were afraid of touching Feng Junyang's bottom line.Now it seems that the Empress Dowager Feng wants to borrow Yunsheng's hand?
This is a good idea, but if Yun Sheng is used in this way, Feng Jun Yang Zong will not kill her because of nostalgia, but it will also completely break the relationship between the two of them.For a moment, He Ze wavered in his heart.

Seeing He Ze not responding, Yun Sheng couldn't help calling him again: "Brother Twelve?"

The call of "Brother Twelve" made He Ze a little soft-hearted. She has called him like this since she was a child, and she always followed behind him, unable to shake her tail like a tail.With a gloomy face, he said to Yunsheng: "Yunsheng, since you have decided to go home, don't meddle in these nosy matters anymore. Whether they are good or bad, what does it have to do with you?"

Seeing He Ze's serious face, Yun Sheng smiled quickly and said, "Brother Twelve, you're thinking too much. I'm just curious, so I wanted to see who Ye Xiaoqi is. Since you don't allow it, Then I won't go."

He Ze saw that she wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't point it out, so he said, "You must be exhausted after traveling for days. I've already ordered someone to clean up your yard, you should rest for a couple of days, and we will Go home. Uncle is still in Yuzhou, I have to replace him so that he can take charge of the overall situation in Taixing."

Yun Sheng nodded obediently, and replied: "Okay, I will listen to Brother Twelve."

Only then did He Ze calm down, chatted with Yun Sheng for a few words, and then asked someone to send her back to the hospital to rest.He sat silently in the room alone for a while, called his confidant over, and ordered in a cold voice: "Send a message to the queen mother in the palace, just say that Yunsheng is the master's own sister, and ask her to change to another saber. "

The key to the palace gate had not yet been locked, and the words quickly reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Feng. She sneered a few times and said mockingly: "We don't know when He Twelve became so affectionate and righteous!"

The palace maid who stood by with her hands down saw that the Empress Dowager Feng was furious, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, she just lowered her head and dared not speak out.

The Empress Dowager Feng narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, thought for a while, then smiled suddenly, and said, "Tell He Twelve, he is not in a hurry, and my palace is not in a hurry either. It would be better for He Zhen to marry Xie Chennian to Taixing as a dowry. The younger brother rules the world, and I am the eldest princess. Ask him, what can he have? Will Xie Chennian recognize him as an elder brother, or Ah Ce will recognize him as an uncle!"

The maid hurriedly nodded in response, turned around and left the palace gate.

The light outside gradually dimmed, and slowly, night finally enveloped the entire city of Shengdu.In the Great General's Mansion in the south of the city, Chen Nian ordered someone to turn off the lights in the courtyard early, and stood in front of the window looking at the moonlight outside in a trance.Feng Junyang softly called her twice on the bed, and seeing that she was not moving at all, he had to get out of bed and come over to her, snuggled up behind her, and said with a light smile: "I said tonight is a sunny day with few stars, but you Don't believe me, how about it?"

Chen Nian originally wanted to ask someone to visit He's mansion at night, but the moonlight was so bright that he couldn't hide his figure at all, and even a master of lightness kung fu could not move.She looked back at Feng Junyang, and said, "Ace, I'm anxious. Yunsheng is back, and He Ze will return to Taixing soon. If he takes Ye Xiaoqi away, it will be troublesome to save him." .”

Feng Junyang smiled and said: "Silly girl, since I agreed to save Ye Xiaoqi, I will naturally keep my word. What are you afraid of?"

Chen Nian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he turned around and put his arms around Feng Junyang's neck, and asked joyfully, "A Ce, have you already figured out a solution?"

"Huh?" Feng Junyang responded in a low voice, but smiled and remained silent.Seeing his appearance, Chen Nian knew that he wanted to take Joe on purpose, so he lowered his figure according to his wish, and said coquettishly, "Good Ce, tell me quickly, what can you do?"

Feng Junyang smiled, and then said: "Although Ye Xiaoqi is in He Twelve's hands, He Twelve is currently on our territory, why is there any need to visit He's mansion at night and bring people to the door directly? Just force He Ze to hand over Ye Xiaoqi."

Chen Nian was thinking of asking Chaoyangzi to detoxify Ye Xiaoqi without anyone noticing, but he never thought that it could be so simple and rude.She felt a little dumbfounded, and asked: "It can also be like this?"

"Why can't it be like this?" Feng Junyang fiddled with Chen Nian's collar lightly with his fingers, and said casually, "Since you are powerful now, why don't you bully him?"

Chen Nian thought about it, but asked: "But if the Taoist priest can't cure the poison on Ye Xiaoqi's body, what should I do?"

If he turned his back on He Ze, and Chaoyangzi couldn't cure Ye Xiaoqi's poison, wouldn't he turn around and beg He Ze to save Ye Xiaoqi?

"Then send it back to He Ze." Feng Junyang bent his lips and smiled, "He Ze never dares to refuse. Then I will think of another way, just ask He Zhen for the antidote. He Zhen is using Ye Xiaoqi came to force you to marry me, now that you are married to me, and you don't think about leaving, Ye Xiaoqi is useless, don't worry, He Zhen won't spend too much time on him, it's not worth it."

Chen Nian took Ye Xiaoqi very seriously, but never thought that Ye Xiaoqi was not that important to He Zhen.Now hearing what Feng Junyang said, she thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was wrong. I only thought that He Zhen would use Ye Xiaoqi to make trouble for me, but I forgot that when he came, he had I said it before, tell me to be honest with you. Maybe he also knows that holding Ye Xiaoqi can only blackmail me, but it is useless to you."

Feng Junyang smiled faintly, and said: "It's also useful to me. You value Ye Xiaoqi, but I value you. How can it be useless? It's just that He Zhen is scheming, and he won't do it so obviously."

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help looking up at him, and said in a daze, "A Ce..."

Feng Junyang leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, and sighed: "Silly Chennian, it's not that you are thinking wrongly, you just haven't thought about trusting and relying on me."

That's why he forgot to rely on him, used the simplest and most direct method, and turned to find other ways to save Ye Xiaoqi.

What he said really hit Chen Nian's mind, Chen Nian didn't want to answer his words, so he twisted his body in his arms, and said with a smile: "Ah Ce, you're so cranky! When are we going to celebrate Twelve Where do you need someone? At that time, we must bring more experts there to bully He Twelve."

"As long as you're happy, not to mention masters, it doesn't matter if you lead troops to surround He's mansion." Feng Junyang said with a low smile, "Just wait, when the Jiangbei war is discussed in the court tomorrow, I will personally lead the troops there I'll please you."

Chen Nian was overjoyed, and quickly responded, wrapped his hands around Feng Junyang's neck, kissed him proactively, and coaxed him, "Ace, you are so kind!"

Feng Junyang was so seduced by her that he was burning with desire, but Pian Chaoyangzi said that if he wanted a child, he could not indulge in sex. He had to endure it, leaned into Chen Nian's ear, and whispered: "Chen Nian, if you come again Hook me up and I'll strip you right here."

His voice was hoarse, and his words were extremely ambiguous. Chen Nian's body trembled slightly when he heard it, his face flushed immediately, he left him in a panic, and cursed in a low voice: "Feng Junyang, you are so shameless."

Feng Junyang chuckled twice, grabbed her, and teased her: "Want to run? It's not that easy! You call me good brother twice, and I'll let you go tonight."

Chen Nian couldn't break free, and glared at Feng Junyang a few times in embarrassment and annoyance. Seeing that he refused to let go, he had to whisper: "Good brother."

Unexpectedly, this "good brother" seemed to set a fire on Feng Junyang's body, completely burning out his remaining rationality.Not only did he not let go of her, he unconsciously added a little more strength to his hands, pulled her over and put her under his body, coaxing: "Hey, call again."

His eyes were so dark that he couldn't see to the end. Chen Nian had kissed him several times, how could he not understand his mind, how could he dare to call again, and just pushed him away, and said angrily: "Feng Junyang, you Why doesn’t talking count? You—”

He only spoke half of the words, but he blocked the rest.The night was already seductive, and the nephrite jade in his arms was soft and fragrant. After all, he couldn't control her and coaxed her until late at night, so he gave up.

Chen Nian was extremely exhausted, fell asleep in a daze, but woke up suddenly at dawn, but heard Feng Junyang's voice from outside the door.The voice was extremely cold and deep, which aroused Chen Nian to wake up instantly. She sat up all of a sudden, and raised her voice to ask: "Ah Ce, what happened?"

There was a sudden silence outside, and after a few breaths, footsteps were heard coming from outside. The next moment, Feng Junyang's figure turned around from behind the screen.Although the sky outside was getting brighter, the room was still dark, and because there was no lamp, Chen Nian couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, only felt that his steps were much more sluggish than usual.Suddenly an inexplicable panic rose in her heart, and she couldn't help repeating the question just now: "Ah Ce, what happened?"

Feng Junyang didn't answer, walked to her bed in silence and sat down sideways, took her hands into his palms, and then said: "Chen Nian, you promise me to keep calm no matter what, okay?"

Hearing this, Chen Nian's hands suddenly trembled uncontrollably.Feng Junyang hurriedly held her hand tighter, his voice was stern: "Promise me, Chen Nian, you promise me!"

Chen Nian gritted her teeth, but still couldn't suppress the fear in her heart. She stared at Feng Junyang and asked tremblingly, "What happened?"

Feng Junyang stared at her, and said with difficulty: "Ye Xiaoqi, just committed suicide."

Chen Nian's body froze suddenly, his hands finally stopped shaking, only cold.It was like suddenly holding a piece of ice in the dog days, and the biting chill passed through Feng Junyang's palm, along his right arm all the way up, piercing his heart like an arrow, making him not even feel it when he breathed a stagnation.Feng Junyang didn't dare to let go of his hands, he just clenched those hands tightly, pulled them over and pressed them tightly against his chest, trying to warm them up.

After a long while, Chen Nian finally had a reaction on his face. She looked at Feng Junyang with tears and smiles, and asked him hissingly, "Suicide? Ye Xiaoqi will commit suicide? Do you believe it?"

Ye Xiaoqi died in a secret courtyard in the He Mansion, where he had been locked up since he arrived in Shengdu.The small courtyard is very strictly guarded, apart from the guards in the open, there are also a few master guards in the dark.That night, nothing unusual was found, only at dawn, the guard went to check Ye Xiaoqi's situation as usual, and when he opened the door, he saw him dead by the table.

"I also sent people to monitor the yard, but they didn't find any movement, and there was no trace of a fight in the house." In the galloping carriage, Feng Junyang still didn't let go of Chen Nian's hand, but the hand But it is still cold, as if it is not hot no matter how warm it is.He glanced at Chen Nian carefully, and said again: "Besides, Ye Xiaoqi left a suicide note."

Chen Nian raised his head suddenly and looked straight into Feng Junyang's eyes.Feng Junyang smiled wryly, and said: "I know what you mean, the suicide note can be forged for someone. It's just...you'll know when you go there and read it yourself."

At dawn, the streets were empty and quiet, the coachman kept raising his whip and urging the horse, and the carriage quickly arrived outside He's residence.He Zeren was already waiting outside the door, seeing Feng Junyang and Chen Nian getting off the carriage, he rushed up to greet him, and said apologetically, "I didn't expect this to happen, I just focused on being on guard." You came to rob people, but you didn't want to..."

Chen Nian glanced at him coldly, this glance was too harsh, with a strong killing intent, causing He Ze to cut off the second half of his sentence.She ignored him and just walked up the steps stiffly.Feng Junyang quickly caught up from behind, reached out and held her hand, and walked in with her.

Although the hegemon of the He family is only in the other courtyard of Shengdu, it has many courtyards and occupies an extremely large area.Chen Nian didn't know how long she had walked, and then she saw the small courtyard gate. She stopped unknowingly, and in a daze, she asked Feng Junyang next to her in a low voice: "Ace, is this just me?" It was a dream, wasn't it?"

"Chen Nian..." Feng Junyang felt a dull pain in his heart, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer her.It was he who promised to rescue Ye Xiaoqi, but broke his promise to her again.

Chen Nian suddenly smiled faintly, broke free from his palm, and walked towards the yard step by step with his thin back straight.There were quite a few guards of the He residence standing in that courtyard, watching her come in, they silently moved out of the way.In this way, Chen Nian went all the way to the door of the house smoothly, and saw Ye Xiaoqi who was still crouching at the table.There was a dagger stuck in his heart, half of his body was wet with blood, and it formed a large piece under his feet.

"Because I'm afraid I can't explain clearly, I didn't dare to touch anything in the house, except this." He Ze passed a letter after Chen Nian did not know when, "I took it from the table. He must have written it to you."

At this time, Chen Nian unexpectedly calmed down. She took the letter, opened it, and saw a few lines written on it, but said that he didn't want to drag her down anymore, and he wanted to die for relief. It was also so that she would not have to be controlled by others because of him in the future.It really sounded like Ye Xiaoqi's tone, and what's even more amazing was that the handwriting was also Ye Xiaoqi's.

Chen Nian looked at it for a moment, then handed the letter to Feng Junyang without saying a word.

Feng Junyang glanced at the letter, his complexion changed slightly.He Zhen threatened Ye Xiaoqi's life and asked Chennian to marry him. In this letter, Ye Xiaoqi told Chennian not to be controlled by others because of himself, but to find the love in his heart. There is someone else.

Chen Nian sneered in a low voice, and sighed quietly: "It's so similar, even if you ask Ye Xiaoqi to write it himself, it's nothing more than that."

He Ze was furious when he heard the words, and said: "If something happened to someone in my hands, you must suspect that I did it. Just think about it, if I wanted to kill him, I would have killed him as early as on the boat. Why bother to wait until you're married, and then waste it! Also, look at the bloody writing Ye Xiaoqi left on the table, it's clearly written by him before he died, how can it be fake?"

Chen Nian has also walked to the table at this moment, resting his hand on Ye Xiaoqi's cold and stiff shoulder, staring blankly at the few bloody words left on the table: "Little Fourth Master, be a chivalrous hero..."

He didn't call her Chen Nian, but "Little Fourth Master". The last word he left for her was "righteousness".The past seems to be vivid in my memory. At that time, they were still young and ignorant. They were obviously just two little bandits in Qingfeng Village, but they dreamed that one day they would become famous heroes in the world, fighting with swords and fighting for justice.

He jumped on the mountain road like a monkey, and said: "Little Fourth Master, in the future you will become a heroine, and I will become a hero. The two of us will take Xiaoliu together, fight swords in the rivers and lakes, and fight for righteousness."

She rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Why do you want to be a hero when I become a heroine? Why? You still think you are better than me?"

He scratched his head embarrassingly, and changed his words: "Then you will be a hero, and I will be a young hero. The two of us will take Xiaoliu together, fight swords in the rivers and lakes, and fight for justice!"

"Why do you have to bring Xiao Liu?"

"Because I like her!"

Although the suicide note was fake, these words were true. These were the last words Ye Xiaoqi left her. He called her Little Fourth Master, and he asked her to be a hero.The last thing he left her was the word "righteousness" written with his heart and soul.

He said that he would rather enter He's house with her sword and die together with her.

He said, little fourth master, don't be like them.

In the end, she was really different from them. Even though she had learned to play tricks and cheat, she was still not their match.They have no bottom line.

Chen Nian knelt down slowly, knelt at Ye Xiaoqi's feet, hugged his already cold body from behind, and hugged him tightly with little force, without moving.Feng Junyang was shocked when he saw it, he quickly stepped forward to support her shoulders, tried to drag her up from the ground, and shouted sharply: "Chen Nian, calm down!"

Chen Nian looked up at him indifferently, and asked, "How else do you want me to calm down?"

She didn't cry, she didn't go crazy, she was terribly calm.But the more this situation made him fear from the bottom of his heart.To be honest, he didn't care about Ye Xiaoqi's life or death, what he cared about was Ye Xiaoqi's reaction in the year after his death.What he cared about was what would happen to Chen Nian after Ye Xiaoqi died?

Chen Nian was still looking straight at him, and asked: "Up to now, do you still think he committed suicide?"

Not suicide!If Ye Xiaoqi committed suicide, he would write everything he wanted to say in his suicide note, and he would not leave blood on the table again.Feng Junyang held Chen Nian's shoulders even tighter, and said in a low voice, "Since we know that someone is causing trouble, we can't make them fulfill their wish."

Chen Nian closed his eyes, and opened them slowly after a while.Feng Junyang let go of her, turned around and looked at He Ze coldly.He Ze was terrified by his sight, so he forced himself to be calm, and said to him: "You husband and wife, don't come after me, I don't know what's going on!"

The corner of Feng Junyang's mouth was slightly raised, and he sneered: "Someone happened to you, how could you not know about it?"

He Ze showed a helpless and frustrated expression, spread his hands and said, "This is really going to kill me, I really don't know. I'm going back to Taixing tomorrow, why bother to make trouble for myself at this juncture?"

"Where did this dagger come from?" Chen Nian asked suddenly, her voice was cold and stern, revealing the murderous look of metal and stone, "How could Ye Xiaoqi have a dagger on him? Where did this dagger come from?" She stood up, Approaching He Ze step by step, "Who gave it to him?"

He Ze pondered and said: "This needs to be investigated slowly. No one has seen this dagger before."

"Check it out slowly?" Chen Nian said, "You don't need to check it out slowly, you call everyone who can get in touch with Ye Xiaoqi, and I'll check it out."

Seeing that Feng Junyang did not object, He Ze had no choice but to order all the guards guarding Ye Xiaoqi to come over.More than a dozen people knelt in two rows in the courtyard. He Ze pointed at them, twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, and said, "Here, they are the only ones who can get in touch with Ye Xiaoqi. You can check."

Chen Nian covered his face with frost, pursed his lips and said nothing, and was stopped by Feng Junyang when he was about to step forward.

"Let me come, don't dirty your hands." Feng Junyang drew out his sword, intending to interrogate Chen Nian.Unexpectedly, Chen Nian shook his head resolutely, took the sword in his hand, stepped forward and put the tip of the sword against the throat of the head of the first row, and asked softly: "Say, who gave Ye Xiaoqi the dagger?"

The tip of the sword was extremely sharp, with just a light touch, it pierced the skin, and the guard's body was shaking like chaff, but he replied tremblingly: "I don't know."

Chen Nian asked: "I really don't know?"

The man gritted his teeth and replied, "I really don't know."

Chen Nian didn't say any more, he only sent the tip of the sword forward lightly, and then slashed to the side, cutting the man's throat completely.The guard obviously didn't expect that a young woman in Chennian would be so venomous, she would attack the killer after only asking a few words, he was too late to resist, so he could only look at Chennian in shock, put his hands on his neck and only let out a groan. With two "ho ho" sounds, he fell to the ground and died.

Before everyone could react from the horror, Chen Nian pointed the tip of his sword at the next person's neck, and asked coldly, "Say, who gave you the dagger?"

How could that man dare to answer, he was so frightened that he wanted to get up and run away, but although Chen Nian lost his inner strength, his exquisite sword moves were still there, and the long sword in his hand was attached to the man's neck like a shadow, no matter how he dodged, the tip of the sword Always within three inches of his throat.

"Say!" Chen Nian shouted coldly.Her ruthlessness shocked everyone, and there was a dead silence in the surroundings for a moment.

He Ze was the first to react, unknowingly flew into a rage, and said angrily: "Xie Chennian, you are enough! How can you kill innocent people like this?"

"Killing innocent people indiscriminately?" Chen Nian turned to look at him when he heard the words, and asked, "Who is not innocent? Isn't Ye Xiaoqi innocent? He fought for your He family and worked his life for more than three years, but in the end he ended up like this. In the end, isn't he innocent?"

He Ze couldn't answer, so he glared at Chen Nian angrily, then looked at Feng Junyang again, and asked, "Feng Junyang, are you going to let her go crazy?"

Feng Junyang stood aside with sullen eyes, silent.

He Ze choked with anger, Chen Nian smiled faintly, turned around again, and asked the guard, "Say, who has contacted Ye Xiaoqi in private?"

The guard was already drenched in cold sweat with fright, and glanced carefully at He Ze, and was about to say that he didn't know, but seeing Chen Nian stabbing forward with the tip of the sword in his hand, he was so startled that he quickly changed his words, and shouted in surprise: "Yun Sheng Miss! Miss Yunsheng came to see him yesterday!"

Before the words finished, He Ze's expression changed drastically. He stepped forward and kicked the guard away, cursing angrily, "You bastard! How dare you recklessly grab and bite!" His foot was so heavy that the guard fell far away, Immediately, he vomited blood, but he was so frightened that he struggled to get up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, not even daring to say a word.

Chen Nian looked at it for a while, then suddenly smiled coldly, turned to look at He Ze with his sword in hand, and asked, "Yunsheng is back? Why don't you invite her to come over and see?"

He Ze said in a cold voice, "Don't listen to this man rambling, what is Yun Sheng doing here to see Ye Xiaoqi?"

"Oh? Is that so? I'm also curious. Why did Yunsheng come to see Ye Xiaoqi?" Chen Nian took a step forward and said unhurriedly, "So please invite Miss Yunsheng Come out and let's ask her, wouldn't it be best?"

"I'm here to meet Ye Xiaoqi." A clear female voice suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard, and everyone in the courtyard was stunned when they heard it. When they followed the sound, they saw a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old standing at the gate of the courtyard. , it was Yun Sheng who got the news.She stood at the door for a while, then walked in slowly from the door, and stopped in front of Chen Nian, looking up at her.

He Ze pulled Yun Sheng over and hid behind him, yelling in a low voice, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go back quickly!"

As he spoke, he asked someone to send Yunsheng back, but he didn't want Yunsheng, but he refused. He just said calmly, "Brother Twelfth, you are not protecting me. If I escape now, I will be convicted of this crime." After speaking, he broke away from He Ze, walked up to Chen Nian and stood still, and said, "Sister Xie, I came to see Ye Xiaoqi yesterday, but I just asked him some things and said that I would try to help him escape. I didn't Leave him a dagger, let alone persuade him to commit suicide."

Chen Nian slowly raised his arm, pointed at Yun Sheng with his sword, and asked softly, "What are you asking him about?"

As soon as he heard her voice, He Ze shivered. She asked the guard in the same tone just now, and then cut his throat with a sword.He Ze suddenly felt frightened, afraid that Yun Sheng would die tragically at the hands of Chen Nian just like that guard.Without even thinking about it, he took a step forward and stretched out his hand to pinch the tip of Chen Nian's sword.

Chen Nian smiled coldly, suddenly leaned forward, and patted He Ze's chest with his left palm.He Ze was once slapped so hard by her that he almost lost his life.The impression was so deep that he forgot for a moment that she had already lost her internal strength, and hurriedly backed away.Chen Nian's palm missed, and the other wrist turned slightly, the tip of the sword broke away from He Ze's grip, and hit Yun Sheng's neck again.

"If you move again, I will kill her now."

He Zekong was skilled in martial arts, but was forced to retreat by Chennian, his face was red and white, and he shouted coldly: "Xie Chennian, Yunsheng is your sister!"

Chen Nian didn't even look at He Ze, but only stared at Yun Sheng: "Say, what are you asking him about?"

Yun Sheng's pretty face was already white with horror, she pressed her lips hard, and replied: "I'm here to ask why he was taken hostage, and whether it was because of him that you were forced to marry your cousin I asked him what his plans were next, and asked him if he wanted to run away." She looked at Chen Nian, her eye circles were slightly red, and there were tears in her eyes, but her eyes were clear and open, "Thank you, sister, I just want to help you. If You are really forced to marry your cousin, I want to help you leave. I didn't persuade Ye Xiaoqi to commit suicide."

"Who are you?" Chen Nian asked her in a cold voice without any emotion, "He Yunsheng, who do you think you are? What right do you have to meddle in my affairs?"

Yun Sheng couldn't bear the tears in her eyes any longer, her lips trembled slightly, and she said in a trembling voice, "Thank you sister..."

By this time, Feng Junyang had also noticed that something was weird, he took two steps forward, grasped Chen Nian's wrist holding the sword, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Nian, leave this matter to me Check it out, and I will give you an explanation."

Chen Nian turned his head to look at him coldly, and asked, "How do you investigate? What can you explain to me? You might ask the murderer to pay Ye Xiaoqi with his life?"

Feng Junyang couldn't answer, even if Yunsheng was really responsible for this matter, he couldn't kill Yunsheng to pay Ye Xiaoqi's life, not to mention that Yunsheng might just be framed by others, the person behind the scenes might be He Ze, it might be...Feng Junyang didn't dare to think about it any more, he only felt a faint pain in his heart.He looked at Chen Nian, and said with difficulty: "This matter is not as simple as it seems, Yun Sheng may have been framed by others, and Ye Xiaoqi's death may have hidden secrets, we have to take our time."

His reaction was within Chen Nian's expectation, she smiled softly unconsciously, and murmured: "Yes, there are too many people who can profit from Ye Xiaoqi's death, He Zhen, He Ze, Yun Sheng, Empress Dowager...even Tuobayao who is far away in Jingyang. Except me. From now on, no one in this world will call me Little Fourth Master, and Xie Chennian is really the only one left."

Feng Junyang held her wrist tightly and didn't dare to let go. He stuck to her side, trying to put her stiff body in his arms, and comforted her in a low voice: "Chen Nian, you still have me, you still have Ah We can't let them succeed, let's not be fooled by them. Nothing can separate us, you stay with me, watch me avenge you, and I will pay you back everything they owe you .”

Chen Nian pushed his arm away, and said in a low voice: "No, you won't, because Ye Xiaoqi is not your bottom line. You know, and they all know too." She pointed the tip of the sword in her hand at Yun Sheng, and slowly Turning to He Ze, passing by everyone in the courtyard one by one, "All of them are evil ghosts in human skin. They have their own ghosts, and they either watched with cold eyes, or contributed to the flames, and finally killed Ye Xiaoqi."

"Chen Nian, calm down!" Feng Junyang shouted, and went forward to grab the long sword in Chen Nian's hand.Chen Nian stepped aside, turned the tip of the sword, and touched Feng Junyang's heart, "And you, Feng Junyang," she looked at him with a faint sadness in her smile, but the words she spoke were Ruthless, "You are the same as them. You have no hatred in your heart, only interests. As long as there are interests, you can cooperate even if you kill your father and enemies."

Feng Junyang's Adam's apple slid up and down, and his voice was dry and unspeakable: "Chen Nian, they are here to drive a wedge between us, do you want them to be happy?" He looked into her eyes, slowly stretched out his hand to her and said, "Chen Nian, have you forgotten what we said? Have you forgotten the serious things you have to do? We haven't done those things yet, so how can we fall into their schemes because of this? Chen Nian , you calm down and walk hand in hand with me, okay?"
