The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Tu Lanqin, who was originally preparing to catch the adulterer and bring him to justice, saw this scene of swords and sabers.

Immediately, he sobered up a lot.

Tu Lanqin hurriedly found a pillar to cover his fat body and looked in that direction in amazement.

He rubbed his eyes... Oh my God, he actually saw his girl Jin Qiao, who was as soft as a puddle of water, now brandishing a sword and fighting with the bastard who had snatched the person from him. The two of them moved lightly but powerfully, and every sword was aimed at the vital points.

He must have been drunk to see this scene.

At the same time, Huo Wuyou was leaning leisurely behind another pillar, chewing the green dates he had just brought from the table slowly in his hand.

Xue Zhiyi squatted on the side so that the flowerpot in front of him could block his body.

She stared at that spot intently and whispered, "Why isn't Yan Gui saying anything yet?"

Huo Wuyou seemed not worried at all: "Maybe he hasn't memorized it yet, he's just reciting the words in his head."

As he said that, he gave Xue Zhiyi a green date: "Do you want to eat it?"

Glancing at him, Xue Zhiyi clicked his tongue impatiently.

After a moment, he raised his hand and took the green dates.

On this side, after a fierce fight between Yan Gui and Jin Qiao, Jin Qiao was finally cut on the shoulder by mistake. She took several steps back to avoid the sword attack from Yan Gui.

She held the sword horizontally in front of her: "Your Excellency, please be well, but I don't know who you are? Who is your servant?"

After a long time of talking, Yan Gui finally recalled the lines: "Chunfeng Tower is so big, it is a famous den of brothel in Huajing. How many dignitaries flock to it? Over the years, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng must have collected a lot of information through Chunfeng Tower, right?"

Jin Qiao's expression was panicked for a moment: "You are... Prince Gong's man?!"

At this moment, Tu Lanqin was so frightened that his legs became weak. He knew his father's position. His whole family was sworn to be loyal to Prince Gong until death. He didn't expect... Chunfeng Tower actually belonged to Prince Sheng!

So, Miss Jin Qiao approached him just to get information from him? ... This is so hurtful!

Before he could shed tears, he felt something hit his knee. Then, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Immediately, Jin Qiao looked in the direction of the sound.

After seeing Tu Lanqin's face clearly, she almost turned pale...

Her brows darkened: If Tu Yuxian knew about today's incident, Chunfeng Tower would be lost!

Thinking of this, her eyes were full of murderous intent. She didn't care about Yan Gui and swung her sword towards Tu Lanqin who was sitting on the ground.

Seeing that the usually gentle and considerate Miss Jinqiao was about to kill him, Tu Lanqin was so frightened that he couldn't even shout.

But at this moment, Jin Qiao felt a thud on his head as if he was hit by something.

The force was so strong that she felt dizzy for a moment.

She failed to control the momentum of her sword, causing her to fall heavily to the ground.

She sat there with her head covered. She didn't know how long it took before her blurry vision gradually became clear.

But it was too late, Tu Lanqin had already run away.

And the man who had been fighting with her just now had disappeared without a trace.

Looking around, there was no one in the empty backyard, only two date pits lying on the ground in front of me.

……

Outside the carriage.

Yan Gui held Huo Wuyou's horse with one hand and the carriage horse with the other, his face looking uglier than if he had eaten a fly.

In the carriage, Huo Wuyou was in a very good mood: "Now everything is ready, just wait for good news."

The two looked at each other, and although they did not express their plan explicitly, they already understood each other. Even they did not realize when they developed this tacit understanding.

Xue Zhiyi just smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to set another fire in the palace. As for outside the palace, please let Lin'an Hou keep an eye on it."

Seeing that Xue Zhiyi's mood had improved and he was no longer as depressed as when he came out of prison, he felt a lot better as well.

"I told you, you don't have to worry about what happens outside the palace."

At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and in the twilight and setting sun, those phoenix eyes looked inexplicably gentle.

Xue Zhiyi's eyes twitched slightly, and he turned his gaze away stiffly and looked out the window.

In the evening, the streets became much quieter. The sounds of horse hooves and wheel tracks could be clearly heard, making the moment seem especially peaceful.

Huo Wuyou thought aimlessly: Although Xue Zhiyi entered the Jianzhang Palace and had a closer relationship with him, she was still in the palace after all, and he couldn't meet her often.

If it wasn't for the fact that it was almost time for the palace gates to be unlocked, he really didn't want to send her back to the palace so soon.

After staring out the window for a while, Xue Zhiyi suddenly asked, "Marquis Lin'an, can you help me again?"

"You say." Huo Wuyou answered immediately.

"Help me kill another person."

Xue Zhiyi was no longer surprised by such words. He just raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Who?"

Xue Zhiyi retracted his gaze, turned to look at him, and said, "Chunfeng Tower, Tan Yu Niang."

"Do you have a grudge against her?" he asked casually.

of course.

In her previous life, she was tortured by Tan Yu Niang in Chunfeng Tower to the point where her life was worse than death. Even when she was slandered and poisoned, she did not believe that Tan Yu Niang did not cooperate with Fu Rongxin.

In this life, I will use Tan Yu Niang's life as one of her chess pieces.

Xue Zhiyi just smiled faintly: "We have a grudge, and we cannot reconcile. Now I want to take revenge on my private grudge."

Huo Wuyou nodded in understanding: "Kill him if you want."

……

Three days later, Prince Cheng’s Mansion.

Prince Cheng has been stationed in Yuzhou for many years to resist the State of Zhou. When he returned to the court this time, the people welcomed him and Your Majesty was also pleased, so he was given additional treasures and fiefdoms.

Some officials in the capital vied with each other to visit, some were cautious and on guard, and there were also quite a few poor scholars who had just passed the imperial examinations this year who wanted to join them.

After a whole day of welcoming and seeing off guests, he finally had some free time.

Under the dim candlelight, Gu Shimin was tall, with slightly dark skin, and looked like a heroic military general. Although he had a calm smile on his face, he looked kind at first glance, but upon closer inspection, he was sinister and his eyes were full of coldness that made people feel chilled. The viciousness and cruelty that came from the battle among the mountains of corpses and seas of blood made people tremble with just one glance.

A woman was kneeling on the ground, her hair disheveled and covered in blood. She was shouting in fear, "Your Highness... Your Highness! I don't know how Prince Gong's men found Chunfeng Tower! I am loyal to Your Highness and dare not have any second thoughts!"

Gu Shimin did not even glance at the woman. He just wiped the sword carefully. Looking at the cold blade, he said softly, "Jin Qiao, you know how important Chunfeng Tower is to me. Now, whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was you who let the people on Gu Shichong's side know about this. Not only that, but you also left a person alive."

As he spoke, he pointed the sword at Jin Qiao, his eyes narrowed slightly with a smile: "Tell me, should I kill him?"

Jin Qiao felt that all the blood in her body had frozen. Her voice was shaking uncontrollably. "Your Highness! There must be something wrong with the cause of Tan Yu Niang's death! Please, Your Highness, spare Jin Qiao's life! Perhaps I can find some clues!"

On the second day after Jin Qiao told him that Chunfeng Tower had been exposed, Tan Yu Niang was assassinated and died an untimely death. It was really infuriating.

"Oh?" Gu Shimin raised her chin with the tip of his sword, his voice still gentle: "Then tell me."

Jin Qiao's eyes wandered, and she trembled: "I will remember it..."

Before she could finish her words, the sword suddenly slashed across her neck.

Jin Qiao covered her neck in disbelief as blood gushed out of it. She opened her mouth and stared, then fell straight to the ground, with blood immediately spreading all over the place.

Gu Shimin just looked at the bloody blade with regret and said, "It seems that this sword is still not fast enough. It can't kill people without shedding blood, right, Xue Qing?"

In the shadow of the candlelight, Xue Tingliu's face, which always had an evil and charming aura, now looked a little gray.

He coldly ignored Jin Qiao who was dying with his eyes open, and bowed slowly: "Your Highness is wise, useless people really don't deserve to live."

Several secret guards dragged Jin Qiao's body away and considerately wiped the blood that was all over the ground.

Gu Shimin didn't even glance at him, he just sat down and continued to polish his sword: "So which one do you think you are, Xue Qing?"
