A single tree becomes a banyan

Ji Yin didn't tell Chiwu's secret, but everyone knew it well.

Zhong Li and Dan Xiao are not familiar with each other, the only intersection is probably Ji Wen, and now the first time they meet, the conflict is also because of Ji Wen—the secret of the Ji family, only Ji Wen knows, where Ji Wen is, only Chi Wu I know, where is Chiwu?Now only Zhong Li knows.

"It doesn't matter if you like it." Dan Xiao smiled when he heard the words, "I'm afraid the girl won't give Dan Xiao a chance."

Zhong Li resolutely refused: "Don't waste your time, you have no chance."

"This is not the right time."

Dan Xiao had a smile on his face, a cold light flashed in his eyes, Zhong Li pretended not to be murderous, and said with a dry smile: "The general is here, if the empress knows..."

"This general just wants to let her know!"

Zhong Li was startled when he heard the words, turned around and fled, but unfortunately, he lost a few steps to Dan Xiao's big step, and was instantly retracted.

"Help... um..." Dan Xiao covered Zhong Li's mouth, and dragged her to a dark place in the corner, while tearing her, unexpectedly Zhong Li suddenly became ruthless, and Yin Fang firmly bit the hand covering her mouth.

Dan Xiao had no choice but to wave down his palm: "Let go!"

The force of this palm was so strong that Zhong Li obediently let go, and vaguely heard a soft sound from her lower forehead, she covered her chin, unable to vent her anger due to the pain, trembling all over her body, tears filled her eyes, but Dan Xiao still couldn't help it. He planned to let go, and pulled her hair to force her to look directly at him.

"Why did you lie to me?" Tears kept dripping from the corners of Zhong Li's eyes, Dan Xiao withdrew his hand, holding the puddle of water, as if struggling: "Why do you want to come back?"

Zhong Li's tears were still there, and he suddenly smiled at Dan Xiao, the smile was strange because of the pain in his jaw.

"What are you laughing at?" Dan Xiao was vigilant about Zhong Li's every move, but saw her take out the imperial decree in her sleeve, her eyes were full of ridicule: "I, Zhong Li, come back, no, Empress Su."

On the imperial decree, Zhong Zhengyu's name was clearly written, and the emperor's seal was stamped at the end.This is the imperial decree given by the empress to the elder brother, if Zhong Li fails to deliver the imperial decree to his home, Dan Xiao will be in big trouble.

"You, aren't you her?"

Zhong Li shook his head resolutely, seeing Dan Xiao stretching out his hand again, he swung the imperial decree and hit him, Dan Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, and grabbed Zhong Li's chin in confusion.Zhong Li was in pain, startled for a moment, realized that this slender hand was named Jiegu, and it was actually touching his face, but Zhong Li was Zhong Li, and he didn't lie, Dan Xiao was unwilling and helpless.

Dan Xiao was depressed: "Miss Zhong looks a lot like Su Rong except for her face."

Zhong Li knocked off Dan Xiao's hand with a palm, feeling equally depressed. He deliberately imitated Su Rong's dressing, makeup, and even walking posture, in order to be more beautiful, not to lead to fatal misunderstandings.

Zhong Li said coldly: "Su Rong and Ji Min left, and they will not come back again, the general should give up as soon as possible."

Su Rong had confessed Chiwu's secret in Xishan, and Zhong Li had found the location of the agency in the Zhaixing Tower on the grounds of looking for the piano, but he didn't intend to tell anyone.Su Rong calculated that whoever showed concern for Chiwu would be more likely to be suspected of killing Ji Wen. Among the suspicions, Ji Yin was the leader, Dan Xiao was the one who was anxious, and Murong Xing was the one who was afraid... Zhong Li made a test, and the three of them really did. behave like this.

Su Rong's plan is like a god, but his life is short, if he didn't hear about Zhong Li's ability in Xuanyuan City before he died, it would be regrettable when he died, even though Zhong Li was not in a hurry, he still had to race against time.

Zhong Li put away the imperial decree disheartened, and walked out of the dark corner in embarrassment. Dan Xiao followed Zhong Li and said unwillingly: "Ji Min, Di Xin, and Su Rong, the bodies of the three are missing, Mr. Zhong? Don't you think it's weird? Maybe they didn't die..."

Zhong Li narrowed his eyes and looked directly at the sun, but did not answer. Seeing Zhong Li's silence, Dan Xiao gave a salute, and left in a daze.Zhong Li turned his head to look at Dan Xiao's back, rubbed his chin and cursed: I heard that Dan Xiao is Su Rong's master, but now it seems that he is just a hero who lost in the beauty pass, and has no qualifications to fight Murong Xing.

The Ji family has gone through two dynasties of the Murong royal family, and the position of power is still standing today, causing people to speculate constantly. I don't know when it will start, and there are rumors everywhere.Zhong Li has heard all these rumors, and one of them is the most credible: the ancestors of the Ji family left a huge treasure, inexhaustible and inexhaustible, but the Ji family will not fail for a hundred years.However, Ji Wen disappeared after the war, and Ji Hou also died suddenly. Now only the second son of the Ji family——Ji Wen's younger brother Ji Yanlan is not satisfactory, and can barely manage the overall situation of the Ji family.

Ji Yanlan went to the street one day and chewed his tongue when he heard the rumors. The next day, a mighty convoy carried hundreds of boxes of ledgers from Ji's house into the palace to prove his innocence.

The empress went up to the court, and when she saw hundreds of boxes lined up under the steps, Ji Yin was standing in the middle, and suddenly felt dizzy.

General Dan Xiao came out of the ranks of officials, and said that the national treasury is now empty, and the Ji family has more heart than strength, but loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth.Dashi Zhong Zhengyu came out to intercede for the Ji family, but without saying a word, Murong Xing raised the case: "Who is spreading rumors and causing trouble? Is the widow so stupid in your eyes?!"

Ji Yin looked on coldly, like an outsider, Murong was dissatisfied, Xia Chao took her hand, and comforted her word by word: "The widow is also the Ji family, whoever framed the Ji family, the widow will never forgive."

Ji Yin saluted, then pulled out her hand without showing any signs, Murong Xing smiled at her, and sent a decree to Ji Yanlan, ordering Ji Yin to be qualified as a Yuefu musician.

Zhong Zhengyu couldn't help frowning: "Empress, the position of a musician..."

"Officer Zhong Shi, I will not treat Zhong Li badly. I have already prepared a better choice for her. You can rest assured."

Zhong Zhengyu saluted, without changing his sad expression: "I can't thank you enough, but my sister has always been stubborn, if she violates God's will... I ask the empress to punish me lightly."

When Zhong Li came back from the round grave that day, he sneezed as soon as he entered Xuanyuan City, hurriedly gathered up the mink clothes, and ordered the driver to turn around and go to Ji's tailor shop to pick up the leather jacket that he had ordered in advance.

In such a cold day, it would be too flimsy for the elder brother to only wear court clothes. Fortunately, Murong doesn't care about others, so he can do it by himself.

Zhong Li originally planned to go back to the Zhong Mansion after picking up the leather jacket, but unexpectedly there was an accident on the way to turn around. A car was rushing on the avenue, Zhong Li's car overtook the shortcut, and when it came out of the alley, it was too late to dodge , the car was hit head-on.

There were exclamations and neighs, the friction between the wheels and the ground made an unpleasant creak, the opponent's car bumped into a booth on the side and stopped, Zhong Li's car wobbled and barely stabilized.

The coachman was still in shock, and suddenly remembered behind him: "Miss, are you okay?!"

"I'm fine..." Zhong Li covered his head, "Is anyone injured outside?"

The driver looked around and said: "No one of us was injured... The other party has not come out yet, so I don't know the situation... Three stalls were lost, and none of the stall owners were injured, but they were frightened...Miss! The other party got out of the car!"

Zhong Li, who was about to get out of the car, stopped, returned to his original seat and sat down, when he heard the other party's footsteps approaching and was about to get angry, the other party had already stepped forward and asked, "Are you all right?"

Before the people in the car opened their mouths, some servants scolded: "You don't have eyes when you walk! There is our master's spirit seat in this car! You say it's okay!"

"I'm extremely sorry! I didn't intend to offend you, but I have something very urgent. I beg you to let me go first...Your Excellency, please rest assured that I will not evade my responsibilities, and I am willing to make any compensation."

The servant was even angrier: "Who wants you to compensate, do you know who our master is? Our master is big..."

"Young master, why are you so flustered?"

The voice of the people in the car was high-pitched, Ji Changlan was taken aback, and she stepped forward and cupped her hands: "My sister has an accident and rushed into the palace, I am Ji Changlan, I will definitely come to the door to apologize to the girl in person in the future..."

Zhong Li lifted the curtain of the car and was stunned for a moment when he saw Ji Yanlan's appearance. He saw that Ji Yanlan was wearing a black crane cloak, and the dark green satin robe showed the silver trim of the hollow hibiscus flower, and the waist was tied with a jade belt. .

Sensing the sight of the people in the car, Ji Changlan raised her chin slightly, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose like a gall, her bun hair was slightly loose, and her face was indistinguishable at the moment.

"Sister Zhong Li?" Ji Yanlan was also taken aback when she saw Zhong Li, and then she changed her mind: "Are you back?"

"I went back last week, and today I am returning to commemorate my father's grave."

"Fortunately, Sister Li is fine..." Ji Yanlan lost all joy, and looked annoyed: "Sister Li, I'm sorry, I will go to Zhongfu to apologize."

Zhong Li nodded, secretly melancholy, many things happened in the years when he was not in the imperial capital, and now seeing the old people again, it seems like a lifetime away, and he doesn't know where to start when he has something to say.

Ji Yanlan said goodbye: "Xianlan is leaving first, sister Li take care."

My sister had an accident and hurried into the palace... Zhong Li came back to his senses and called to stop Lan Lan: "What's wrong with Ji Yin?"

Ji Yanlan hesitated for a moment, seeing that Zhong Li's eyes were bright, she pulled out the imperial decree from her sleeve and handed it over.Zhong Li took it calmly, looking at ten lines, breathing rapidly, and the white air from the tip of his nose became thicker and thicker.

The imperial decree was nothing more than the change of Yuefu Yin's position. Zhong Li happened to be the appointed Yuefu Yin.

Ji Yanlan hurriedly explained: "Sister Li, my sister has no intention of taking your place..."

"Ji Yin can't speak, the Yuefu actors don't know how to bully her!" Zhong Li said and stretched out his hand to Ji Changlan, "Your car is broken down, take mine."

Ji Yanlan was taken aback for a moment, and said brightly, "Thank you, Sister Li!"

In the middle of the car, Ji Changlan tidied her temple hair, seeing Zhong Li staring at her all the time, she leaned over with a smile: "Why does Sister Li keep looking at me?"

"You... have grown up." After Zhong Li finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, "You're still so pretty."

Ji Yanlan took Zhong Li's arm with a smile, leaned her head on Zhong Li's shoulder, was as intimate as before, and acted like a baby to Zhong Li: "Sister Li, can you help me comb my hair?"

Zhong Li was in a dilemma: "I...I don't know how to tie a male bun."

Ji Yanlan loosened Zhong Li's hand, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Men are not men, women are not women, Sister Li is laughing at me for some reason."

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Ji Yanlan looked up and saw Zhong Li's sullen face, she straightened up and begged for forgiveness, but Zhong Li lost the mood to joke with her, and said seriously: "I have made jokes before, but now I come back with the cheek, how can I laugh at you?"

At the beginning, Ji Yanlan was a little girl who was not afraid of anything, but now that the Ji family has a daughter who has grown up, she has become a handsome young man. How could Zhong Li not feel sorry for her?Ji Yin couldn't speak, and Ji Yanlan would never marry. Compared with the women of the Ji family, Zhong Li was so miserable. Only then did Zhong Li realize how lucky he was to have a big brother in the Zhong family to protect him.

"...I feel sorry for you, silly sister, is it worth making such a sacrifice for the Ji family?"

Ji Yanlan smiled wryly, leaning her head on Zhong Li's shoulder again was not enough, stretched out her arms to hug Zhong Li, and after a while, whispered: "It's worth it."

In front of the gate of Yuefu, a woman wearing a tiger eye stone silver thread pendant on her head, a dark red Zhai-patterned plain color floor-length deep dress, and a relic leather cloak trimmed with snow fox and dyed gold, seemed to be waiting for someone. Not moving now.

Emei swept lightly, no makeup was applied on her face, her expression was indifferent, this person was Yin Jiyin of Yuefu.

Behind her, Yuefu actors were whispering, all of them were covered with heavy makeup, and one of them was covered with silver chains with butterflies on his head. As she spoke, the fake butterflies flickered.

"Look at our new Governor of Yuefu. I'm afraid that no one will know that she has become an official, and she won't feel cold after standing for so long. I heard that she is a mute. How can a dumb person become a governor of Yuefu? I think... we should drive her away as soon as possible. So as not to be ashamed."

Ji Yin's skin was creamy, and her white face was pink. She had also been blown by the cold wind for a long time, and she felt a little impatient. Fortunately, Che Tuo lived up to her gaze and came from afar, bringing joy to her brows.

When Zhong Li saw Ji Yin, he was depressed for a moment. If it wasn't for her being unable to speak, the title of the most talented woman in Xuanyuan City would not be his turn.

When Ji Yin found out that Zhong Li was walking with Ji Changlan, she was secretly taken aback. She didn't expect Zhong Li to come so quickly. Regarding Yuefu Yin, she didn't know how Zhong Li would blame herself.

"Okay, I've delivered the man, take care." Zhong Li glanced behind the door, turned to leave, but Ji Yin grabbed his sleeve, "Yin'er? What's the matter?"

Ji Yinyu pointed her slender fingers, and pointed at Yuefu with the other, her eyes were watery looking at Zhong Li, but with a coldness of conversation, as if she could see through everything.

Zhong Li sighed inwardly, patted Ji Yin's hand holding her lightly, and said earnestly: "Yin'er, do a good job, the Empress appreciates you."

Ji Yin gave Zhong Li a white look, let go of her hand, and looked behind the door with cold eyes for a moment, and softened when she met Ji Changlan, showing a smile.Zhong Li saw this frown and smile in his eyes, a chill ran down his back, he gathered his sable clothes and left quietly.

Zhong Li left the carriage and the driver to Ji Changlan, walked through the corridor and walked towards the deep palace.Yuefu Yin can't grab Ji Yin, so let's go to a more dangerous place. The treasure left by Ji Min is not just Su Rong and Ji's family, and her courage to come back is not limited to this.
