As soon as he mentioned this, Ximen Duohong's face changed, and he said bitterly: "Is that thing called a golden thread earthworm? Why have I never heard of it. Damn it, I just thought it was a hidden weapon. Who made that living thing move?" It doesn't move, but it's that color again, who knows that it's alive after being bitten by it in my hand, I thought I was bound to die, but death will die with it, who knows that I have no strength I crushed it to death, and then I fell into a coma, and I didn't expect to be able to come back to life."
Hua Jingxiang smiled and said: "No one in the world can detoxify the poison of the golden thread earthworm, but it's not like seeing blood to seal the throat. When I was with my master, I heard him talk about the detoxification method of this kind of thing. My master said, This golden thread earthworm rarely appears in the rivers and lakes, and it has never been heard of in the past hundred years. Now many coincidences have come together to save the palace master, so it can be seen that the palace master must be blessed if he survives a catastrophe."
Ximen Duohong nodded, couldn't help holding Hua Jingxiang's hand, nodded solemnly: "Did Jingxiang work hard for me all night? There are red threads in her eyes. In fact, the poison of golden thread earthworms may not have a solution , my self-made secret medicine "Xingyue" can cure all poisons in the world, and has the effect of life and death, human flesh and bones..."
Before he finished speaking, Hua Jingxiang wondered: "Really? If that's the case, why didn't I hear the guards mention it? Then the master of the medicine palace carries it with him? Why didn't he take it as soon as he was poisoned?"
Ximen Duohong coughed, his face was a little embarrassed, and he muttered in a low voice: "Well, there is still one hundred secrets, I... I never thought that this situation would happen today, I hid the medicine in the dark in this room. I didn’t carry it with me, and no one else knew about it, so no one mentioned it to you, and it’s useless to mention it, except me, no one can find it.”
Hua Jingxiang frowned when she heard the words, and said in a warm voice: "Palace Master, let the villain be presumptuous. Palace Master's martial arts are of course the pinnacle, but as the saying goes, there are people who are beyond people, let alone those unscrupulous methods. No matter how powerful you are, you have to beware of hidden arrows, and don’t be careless and arrogant. If I’m not by your side today, what’s the use of having the stars and the moon? Wouldn’t it be that you lost your life in vain.”
If these words were spoken by someone else, even if Ximen Duohong had nothing to say, he would definitely be dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that he was just negligent this time, and such a thing would never happen again.
However, these words were spoken by Hua Jingxiang, the words were soft and gentle, and the meaning of caring was evident in them. Listening to his words, it was like listening to his mother gently teaching him the principles of life when he was young. A touch I haven't felt in a long time.
"Yes, I will pay attention next time." Ximen Duohong stared at Huajing's jade-like face in a daze, and suddenly felt that the hand in his palm was like a soldering iron, which made his heart beat out of control.
So he quickly let it go, lowered his head and lifted the pillow, took out a small key from the bun, found a place on the quilt, opened it lightly, and heard a "click", and then a key appeared under the quilt. Dark cell.
It was too late for Hua Jingxiang to stop it, and she was even more impressed by the ingenuity of this mechanism, and exclaimed: "Where did you think of this? The color of the dark grid is like a bedding. If you don't reach out and touch it, who would know it?" Is there a hidden compartment on the bed?"
"More than that, if there is no key, no one else will be able to open this secret compartment." Ximen Duohong said, then smiled and said to Hua Jingxiang: "Now you are the only one who knows this secret. My wealth and life are all in your hands.”
Hua Jingxiang felt as if his heart had been hit hard, shaking him almost unsteady, he quickly lowered his head to hide his panic, Fang Youyou asked after a long while: "The palace master has always treated me well, the villain is grateful In my heart, why is there such a heavy trust today? No matter what, I... I am not the Palace Master's confidant after all, why does the Palace Master trust me so much?"
Ximen Duohong pretended to be surprised and shouted: "What? You said that you are not my confidant? Then how can I have a confidant? Jingxiang, I treat you like a confidant and brother. Who would have thought you would say such a thing today? Come to think of it, why don't you make me feel ashamed, it turns out that I've been making love to myself all this time, ah, I'm so sad..." As he spoke, he deliberately held his heart to make a look of extreme pain.
Hua Jingxiang was narrowed by him, annoyed and embarrassed at the same time, bitterly said: "Okay, stop acting. The poison has just been cured, and you have no scruples anymore. I don't know how prudent you are on weekdays, why bother to take it today?" I'm going to make fun of it."
Ximen Duohong put down his hands, and said with a smile: "It's because I'm too steady on weekdays, so I have to let go when there's no one in private, otherwise I put on a calm and pretentious look every day, what's the fun in this life Jingxiang, I don't know why, from the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. It has been nearly two years now. I pay attention to your words and deeds in daily life. I don't believe you still Who do you believe? Although what you said just now was a joke, it is also true. I treat you as a confidant."
Hua Jingxiang lowered her head without realizing it, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, I know, if I encounter this kind of thing again in the future, I will have a solid foundation in my heart. My master once said that Xingyue's name is this medicine. It seems too laborious to refine it, but the Palace Master is so young, it is really a rare talent in all ages to be able to refine it."
Ximen Duohong laughed loudly, patted Hua Jingxiang's shoulder and said, "Jingxiang, I didn't expect you to be flattering, and you are also a rare genius, haha, but I really benefited from what I heard, only your good words I listened to." Only then will it be useful."
"Who's flattering?" Hua Jingxiang's face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was angry at the palace lord for "slandering" her or because she was embarrassed by his words, snorted, turned around and walked out.
In the blink of an eye, she came back again, and said angrily: "The poison has just been cured, you have to rest for a day or two, ah, your hair is a bit messy, let the maids fetch water, I will comb it for you."
Ximen Duohong couldn't help laughing, shook his head and smiled, "Jingxiang, so you won't be angry for longer than you can snap your fingers? How can people be afraid of you like this? Well, you can do it for me." The speaker At that time, a maid had already brought in the washbasin and soap towel.
Hua Jingxiang waited for Ximen Duohong to wash his face, and went forward to let down his hair for him, and then combed it carefully.
Ximen Duohong looked carefully at the mirror. Although the image was not clear, he could still see the spring-like ten fingers combing his black hair slowly, and the surroundings were silent.There was a sense of tranquility and beauty that made his heart sway uncontrollably, as if a few circles of ripples were slowly dissipating.
"It's a pity that Jingxiang is the manager now, otherwise I will definitely keep you by my side."
Ximen Duohong suddenly opened his mouth. Seeing Hua Jingxiang's puzzled eyes, he smiled slightly and said, "I don't know why, you seem to have a magical power. As long as you are by your side, you will feel at ease, better than the best soothing incense. It’s easy to use. The beauty is like jade, and it smells fragrant all day long. I practice the magic trick of making the moon, and I am most afraid of distraction. If you are by my side, what else should I be afraid of?”
Hua Jingxiang was a little ashamed when he heard what he said at the beginning that the beauty is as beautiful as jade, and it is fragrant every day. After hearing it, it turned out that it was related to that kind of mentality. , It’s not difficult, I will stay with the palace lord, if there is something that needs to be dealt with by me, just ask them to bring it over, anyway, there are some things that I want to ask the palace lord for.”
"In that case, you are too tired, I just said it casually, you don't need to care about it." Ximen Duohong waved his hand, looked at Hua Jingxiang's thin body again, frowned and said: "It seems to be thinner again, what's the matter? Is it so many and burdensome?"
"Where did you lose weight? You've obviously gained weight again. You're just wearing spring clothes, so it's different from those bloated winter clothes." Hua Jingxiang finally tied a lock of hair in her hand into a bun. This time, Ximen Zhuohong was In front of him, he stuffed the little key into the bun, obviously not carrying him.
Ximen Duohong originally thought that these words in the morning were just words, but unexpectedly at noon, Hua Jingxiang directed a few people to bring some commonly used things over, and arranged them next to his room.He was surprised and said, "Jing Xiang, you really want to move here? I was just talking casually in the morning, don't get tired and sick with your little body."
Hua Jingxiang glared at him fiercely, curled her lips and said: "Master, don't you say I'm weak, okay? Anyway, I'm also a dignified man, I'm not so delicate, I don't need to be around your room, It just happens to be a residence for me to deal with things, so that’s it, no need to say more.”
Ximen Duohong was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help crying or laughing for a while and said: "Mr. Hua is so imposing, is it me or you who have the final say in this palace?" As soon as he said this, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If you make him careless, he won't be hurt.
Thinking about this, she was about to open her mouth to make amends, but she saw Hua Jingxiang pretending to be arrogant with her akimbo, pouted and said: "Since I am the manager, I can always have the final say on these trivial matters of life, hmph, don't bother the Palace Master." .”
Although Hua Jingxiang was rescued from the brothel by Ximen Duohong, she has an elegant demeanor and gentle actions, but she has never shown such a cute appearance that is suitable for anger and joy. Let alone Ximen Duohong, even the surrounding The standing servants couldn't help but also opened their eyes wide.
Only then did Hua Jingxiang realize that she had lost her composure, and quickly coughed and turned around, saying vaguely: "Okay, I'm busy here, you'd better go back and lie down on the bed." While talking, she pushed and refused to "give in" " Palace Master Ximen entered his own bedroom.
In the days that followed, even if Hua Jingxiang was officially part-time as Ximen Duohong's personal servant, he was as careful as a hair, and he managed Ximen Duohong's life in an orderly manner, and he did not slack off in his duties as the manager.
Ximen Duohong didn't like people to serve him personally, because he felt that his life was disturbed, but Hua Jingxiang was the most quiet person, he did what he had to do, never said a word, he handled things extremely safely, and never let He felt restrained, and within half a year, the Grand Palace Mistress thought in private, and felt that he could not do without this gentle and jade-like beauty in charge.
Of course, being inseparable is inseparable. At this time, Ximen Duohong didn't have any strange thoughts about Hua Jingxiang, and he just likes to look at each other more on weekdays.In front of the other party, he will put away his indifference and sternness towards others, and often smile. For the same thing, he can always find fault with others, but when Hua Jingxiang does it, he always praises it.
Heaven and Earth can testify that at this time, Palace Mistress Ximen never dreamed of developing a closer relationship with the Chief Beauty.
It was because of Baili Jingtao that really opened the mind of Palace Master Ximen who was puzzled by Fengyue.
Baili Jingtao brought his grassroots lover Xie Xiangfeng, almost like a lunatic, broke into the main palace, forcing Ximen Duohong to take out the moon and stars to save Xie Xiangfeng with life and death.
Although the Chief Palace Master was almost pissed to death, in the end, brotherhood prevailed. Even if Ximen Duohong was unwilling, he took out a Xingyue to save people.
The conscience of heaven and earth, at the very beginning, Palace Master Ximen really wanted to ruthlessly reject his brother's unreasonable demands, but Baili Jingtao's bear-like appearance made him terrified. Crying, this is a bit too scary, Ximen Duohong has no doubt that if he doesn't save Xie Xiangfeng, this brother will definitely go to Jiuquan with him.
However, this is only one of the reasons, and the other reason is: at the time of the incident, his always gentle Chief Jingxiang was only one step away from him, with such gentle and expectant eyes like spring water, you let him How could Palace Mistress Ximen have the heart to say heartless and vicious words.
Therefore, it was under such circumstances that Xie Xiangfeng used up one of the most precious "stars and moons" in the world.Originally angry and unwilling, Ximen Palace Master wanted to swear a few foul words after finishing his rule, but when he turned around, he saw tears flashing in Hua Jingxiang's eyes, and he looked at him affectionately. The fire immediately disappeared.
Hearing the earth-shattering ecstatic cries from the distant room, Ximen Duohong knew that Baili Jingtao had understood the truth, and sure enough, Hua Jingxiang walked in half a quarter of an hour later, with a tear on her face, There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What? I'm so moved that I'm crying? You, let me say something? You can't be so unpromising, right? I haven't seen you sad and sentimental in the past. A scholarly family." Ximen Duohong shook his head and laughed. As she spoke, she took out a white silk handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Hua Jingxiang.
Hua Jingxiang took the square handkerchief and wiped away the tears on his face, then smiled and said, "Can you still see it?"
Seeing that Ximen Duohong shook his head, he returned the square silk handkerchief, sat on the chair and sighed: "Master, it hurts the spring and the autumn, it's just something that literati who moan without illness, or travelers who are sentimental about their life experience like to do, With the care of the palace lord, although my life experience is drifting, but after entering the main palace, I have never had such a time."
Ximen Duohong also broke into a smile, nodded and said: "I feel very comforted by what Jingxiang said, um, although you are born weak, but I also feel that those emotions that hurt the spring and autumn are not suitable for you, ha, Jingxiang, Are you flattering my palace master in a disguised form, praising me for being considerate and caring for my servants, are you a good master?"
Hua Jingxiang lost all sadness by his words, stood up like a cat with bristling fur, and almost jumped on Ximen Duohong's body to bite, that cute expression that was rarely revealed The unconscionable Palace Master Ximen was in a good mood and laughed heartily.
"Anyway, I just like the story of lovers getting married. Seeing the surprised look of Baili Palace Master, I really feel very happy." After a burst of laughter, Hua Jingxiang sat down again, Staring at the sandalwood in the room, she sighed, and said gratefully: "Palace Master, I am really touched."
"I'm so touched, I never thought that Jingtao, who always had his eyes high above his head, was indifferent and alienated, but finally he fell in love with such an unremarkable guy, and he was still a man." Ximen Duohong thought of his brother's indifferent look. As soon as he looked out of breath, he became irritable.
"Men... Can't a man's love be sacred once?" Hua Jingxiang choked, and for some reason, a faint feeling of disappointment rose in his heart, no, it can't be said to be faint, because he almost shed tears tears.But it's really not strong, and there is no feeling of labored breathing.
Asking this sentence, Ximen Duohong was also taken aback, staring blankly at Hua Jingxiang, for some reason, the fantasy of two people happily living together under the plum tree appeared in his mind, and he felt his heart flutter, before his reason returned to the basket , secretly came up with an idea: If you can be with Jing Xiang, even if you are cut off from your children and grandchildren, it seems pretty good to just be with him for the rest of your life.
With this thought, even Ximen Duohong himself was startled, he quickly shook his head and suppressed the thought.
He raised his head and was about to talk to Hua Jingxiang when he stood up and said: "Yesterday I wanted to go out, but I happened to meet the Lord of the Baili Palace. Now that the matter is settled, I have to go out." , and left the room.
Through the window, you can see Hua Jingxiang's slender and elegant back walking in the courtyard. Ximen Duohong watched silently, with endless tenderness in his heart.
He lay down, thinking of Baili Jingtao's words about sharing life and death with Xie Xiangfeng, for some reason, he was not as angry and disappointed as before. (For the story of Baili Jingtao and Xie Xiangfeng, please read "Amorous But Seems Always Ruthless")
Two days later, Baili Jingtao was afraid of the aftereffects of Xie Xiangfeng's vault poison, so he decided to stay in the magic palace for a few days before going back.Ximen Duohong is up to him, although Xingyue is indeed powerful, but they have never been poisoned by the vault, who knows if there will be any mistakes?
Baihualin has been secretly fighting against the Demon Palace, but in the past it was just a small fight, and it couldn't be put on the table.However, he was poisoned once a few months ago, and although Xie Xiangfeng was poisoned now, it was obvious that the other party was targeting Baili Jingtao.
From this point of view, Baihualin is going to turn from the dark to the bright, and is going to compete with the Demon Palace with all its strength. It is also true that they have endured humiliation and been suppressed for so many years, so it is time to raise their heads and fight back.
Ximen Duohong was very merciful and sympathetic to speak for Baihualin in his heart. He was meditating when he saw Hua Jingxiang walk in and said with a smile: "Palace Master, the weather is not bad today. There is sun. I heard that the two places in Songyu Tower There is a batch of ice fish in the sky, why don't you go and buy some with me, and I will cook for you in the evening, how about steaming a few for you?"
Ximen Duohong was very moved. The ice fish was a big fish that was caught by shaving off the ice on the lake surface. Because of the winter, those fish were very fat. Not to mention the delicious taste, there was also a stick of oil The aroma, thinking about it, makes the index finger move, not to mention that Hua Jingxiang cooks it himself, it is even more delicious.
Thinking of this, just as he was about to agree, he suddenly saw the big book on the table, and couldn't help sighing: "Forget it, Jingxiang, you just have to work a little bit, although the New Year's Eve has passed, but seeing the beginning of spring, all business You have to come up with a plan. Hmph, you're going to be tricky and push the burden to me. Now you, the general manager, can go out and steal half a day's leisure, but I, the dignified Palace Master, have to suffer here. Is there anything else? Is it right?"
Hua Jingxiang smiled and said: "In that case, I will go by myself. These tents are the lifeblood of the general palace. If you don't work hard, whoever works hard, well, don't complain, I will buy ice fish and steam it for you, right? Make up your body." While talking, he went out the door.
Ximen Duohong continued to look at the account book here, thinking that I, the chief palace lord, are too miserable, right?Fortunately, there is food to eat at night, um, this is still very good.
Thinking of delicious food, I felt a little more at ease. I was about to write down the plans and goals of the bank's business in the notebook, when I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance, accompanied by a few thrilling shouts: " Hurry... hurry up, Shubai, you...you hold on..."
Ximen Duohong's heart sank all of a sudden.I thought that last time it seemed that Jingxiang was going out, but I met Jingtao at the gate, which made me use an incomparably precious star and moon on a young man.
Could it be that he met some bastard who asked for Xingyue at the gate again this time, so he brought him back?If this is the case, then we have to prevent him from going out in the future. This Xingyue is not a big tonic pill, as much as you want. According to his way of going out, I have spent decades of hard work to cultivate these few Xingyue (It's skill, not time. Ximen Duohong was naturally carefully cultivated by his father when he was a child, so although he is young, his skill is extremely high.) In less than a year, he had to be defeated by me.
Although Ximen Duohong thought this way, he thought it was just thinking like this. He never dreamed that things would really happen like this. The two guys Baili Jingtao and Xie Xiangfeng haven't gone out yet. The second master who wanted Xingyue came.
Ximen Duohong felt that he was really going to vomit blood. Was the man in front of him with disheveled hair, red eyes, haggard beard and shaggy beard really his brother Shangguan Qianzhan who had always been calm and unchanging before Mount Tai collapsed?Not to mention the demeanor of the master of the Demon Palace, even a sweeping person standing beside him is stronger than his respectable appearance.
Ximen Duohong really wanted to kick Shangguan Qianzhan twice, this time he made up his mind not to give Xingyue, but Hua Jingxiang was beside him, and said gently that Shangguan Qianzhan had an old disease of madness, and as a result The guy immediately climbed up the pole.
Ximen Duohong was frightened by his appearance. Compared with his brother, Xingyue's life was more important than his brother's. In the end, he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky and watched Xingyue, who had exhausted his efforts, disappear from Li Shubai's mouth. I really want to kick this bloody man out of bed.
But at last the ears calmed down, and the two bastards saw that their lover was healed, and left one by one.When Ximen Duohong saw them, he was depressed and angry, so naturally he refused to see them off.
On the contrary, Hua Jingxiang abided by his duties as a master, Baili Jingtao sneaked away by himself and did not deliver it, but he politely sent Shangguan Qianzhan to the gate.
Because of this, he saw Sikong Lanyue's carriage, but this time it had nothing to do with Hua Jingxiang.Sikong Lanyue came in with a scepter, and Xingyue was also exchanged for things.If Hua Jingxiang made a mistake, it means that he didn't remind Ximen Duohong that the cold jade pearl was fake.
But of course Ximen Duohong didn't know.What made him worry all the time was Hua Jingxiang's surprised and joyful attitude when he heard that the person in Sikong Lanyue's arms was Su Dongli, the number one talent in the world.
What happened to the number one genius in the world?Dare to claim to be number one in the world, isn't he an arrogant person?Hmph, Jing Xiang is also very talented, is it necessary to respect this kid so much?Look at that look, it's really full of surprises, why have I never seen him show such a look to me.
Palace Master Ximen's heart was filled with sourness, and the heart that was opened up by the story of Baili Jingtao and Xie Xiangfeng gradually began to move.I thought to myself, could it be that I am jealous?Well, it seems to be so interesting, anyway, I don’t like Jingxiang to praise others, but... But he is just my manager, I... When did I have such nasty thoughts about him?
While thinking about it, he had to deal with Sikong Lanyue, but after hearing that the other party was willing to exchange Hanbizhu for Xingyue, Ximen Duohong immediately changed his attitude, and gave Xingyue to Su Dongli without saying a word .
Han Bizhu, that is a fairy product that can only be encountered but not sought after. With it, it only takes a few days to refine ten stars and moons. This is a good deal, too good.
Hua Jingxiang smiled and said: "No one in the world can detoxify the poison of the golden thread earthworm, but it's not like seeing blood to seal the throat. When I was with my master, I heard him talk about the detoxification method of this kind of thing. My master said, This golden thread earthworm rarely appears in the rivers and lakes, and it has never been heard of in the past hundred years. Now many coincidences have come together to save the palace master, so it can be seen that the palace master must be blessed if he survives a catastrophe."
Ximen Duohong nodded, couldn't help holding Hua Jingxiang's hand, nodded solemnly: "Did Jingxiang work hard for me all night? There are red threads in her eyes. In fact, the poison of golden thread earthworms may not have a solution , my self-made secret medicine "Xingyue" can cure all poisons in the world, and has the effect of life and death, human flesh and bones..."
Before he finished speaking, Hua Jingxiang wondered: "Really? If that's the case, why didn't I hear the guards mention it? Then the master of the medicine palace carries it with him? Why didn't he take it as soon as he was poisoned?"

Hua Jingxiang frowned when she heard the words, and said in a warm voice: "Palace Master, let the villain be presumptuous.

"In that case, you are too tired, I just said it casually, you don't need to care about it." Ximen Duohong waved his hand, looked at Hua Jingxiang's thin body again, frowned and said: "It seems to be thinner again, what's the matter? Is it so many and burdensome?"
"Where did you lose weight? You've obviously gained weight again. You're just wearing spring clothes, so it's different from those bloated winter clothes." Hua Jingxiang finally tied a lock of hair in her hand into a bun. This time, Ximen Zhuohong was In front of him, he stuffed the little key into the bun, obviously not carrying him.
Ximen Duohong originally thought that these words in the morning were just words, but unexpectedly at noon, Hua Jingxiang directed a few people to bring some commonly used things over, and arranged them next to his room.He was surprised and said, "Jing Xiang, you really want to move here? I was just talking casually in the morning, don't get tired and sick with your little body."
Hua Jingxiang glared at him fiercely, curled her lips and said: "Master, don't you say I'm weak, okay? Anyway, I'm also a dignified man, I'm not so delicate, I don't need to be around your room, It just happens to be a residence for me to deal with things, so that’s it, no need to say more.”
Ximen Duohong was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help crying or laughing for a while and said: "Mr. Hua is so imposing, is it me or you who have the final say in this palace?" As soon as he said this, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If you make him careless, he won't be hurt.
Thinking about this, she was about to open her mouth to make amends, but she saw Hua Jingxiang pretending to be arrogant with her akimbo, pouted and said: "Since I am the manager, I can always have the final say on these trivial matters of life, hmph, don't bother the Palace Master." .”
Although Hua Jingxiang was rescued from the brothel by Ximen Duohong, she has an elegant demeanor and gentle actions, but she has never shown such a cute appearance that is suitable for anger and joy. Let alone Ximen Duohong, even the surrounding The standing servants couldn't help but also opened their eyes wide.
Only then did Hua Jingxiang realize that she had lost her composure, and quickly coughed and turned around, saying vaguely: "Okay, I'm busy here, you'd better go back and lie down on the bed." While talking, she pushed and refused to "give in" " Palace Master Ximen entered his own bedroom.
In the days that followed, even if Hua Jingxiang was officially part-time as Ximen Duohong's personal servant, he was as careful as a hair, and he managed Ximen Duohong's life in an orderly manner, and he did not slack off in his duties as the manager.
Ximen Duohong didn't like people to serve him personally, because he felt that his life was disturbed, but Hua Jingxiang was the most quiet person, he did what he had to do, never said a word, he handled things extremely safely, and never let He felt restrained, and within half a year, the Grand Palace Mistress thought in private, and felt that he could not do without this gentle and jade-like beauty in charge.
Of course, being inseparable is inseparable. At this time, Ximen Duohong didn't have any strange thoughts about Hua Jingxiang, and he just likes to look at each other more on weekdays.In front of the other party, he will put away his indifference and sternness towards others, and often smile. For the same thing, he can always find fault with others, but when Hua Jingxiang does it, he always praises it.
Heaven and Earth can testify that at this time, Palace Mistress Ximen never dreamed of developing a closer relationship with the Chief Beauty.
It was because of Baili Jingtao that really opened the mind of Palace Master Ximen who was puzzled by Fengyue.
Baili Jingtao brought his grassroots lover Xie Xiangfeng, almost like a lunatic, broke into the main palace, forcing Ximen Duohong to take out the moon and stars to save Xie Xiangfeng with life and death.
Although the Chief Palace Master was almost pissed to death, in the end, brotherhood prevailed. Even if Ximen Duohong was unwilling, he took out a Xingyue to save people.
The conscience of heaven and earth, at the very beginning, Palace Master Ximen really wanted to ruthlessly reject his brother's unreasonable demands, but Baili Jingtao's bear-like appearance made him terrified. Crying, this is a bit too scary, Ximen Duohong has no doubt that if he doesn't save Xie Xiangfeng, this brother will definitely go to Jiuquan with him.
However, this is only one of the reasons, and the other reason is: at the time of the incident, his always gentle Chief Jingxiang was only one step away from him, with such gentle and expectant eyes like spring water, you let him How could Palace Mistress Ximen have the heart to say heartless and vicious words.
Therefore, it was under such circumstances that Xie Xiangfeng used up one of the most precious "stars and moons" in the world.Originally angry and unwilling, Ximen Palace Master wanted to swear a few foul words after finishing his rule, but when he turned around, he saw tears flashing in Hua Jingxiang's eyes, and he looked at him affectionately. The fire immediately disappeared.
Hearing the earth-shattering ecstatic cries from the distant room, Ximen Duohong knew that Baili Jingtao had understood the truth, and sure enough, Hua Jingxiang walked in half a quarter of an hour later, with a tear on her face, There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What? I'm so moved that I'm crying? You, let me say something? You can't be so unpromising, right? I haven't seen you sad and sentimental in the past. A scholarly family." Ximen Duohong shook his head and laughed. As she spoke, she took out a white silk handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Hua Jingxiang.
Hua Jingxiang took the square handkerchief and wiped away the tears on his face, then smiled and said, "Can you still see it?"
Seeing that Ximen Duohong shook his head, he returned the square silk handkerchief, sat on the chair and sighed: "Master, it hurts the spring and the autumn, it's just something that literati who moan without illness, or travelers who are sentimental about their life experience like to do, With the care of the palace lord, although my life experience is drifting, but after entering the main palace, I have never had such a time."
Ximen Duohong also broke into a smile, nodded and said: "I feel very comforted by what Jingxiang said, um, although you are born weak, but I also feel that those emotions that hurt the spring and autumn are not suitable for you, ha, Jingxiang, Are you flattering my palace master in a disguised form, praising me for being considerate and caring for my servants, are you a good master?"
Hua Jingxiang lost all sadness by his words, stood up like a cat with bristling fur, and almost jumped on Ximen Duohong's body to bite, that cute expression that was rarely revealed The unconscionable Palace Master Ximen was in a good mood and laughed heartily.
"Anyway, I just like the story of lovers getting married. Seeing the surprised look of Baili Palace Master, I really feel very happy." After a burst of laughter, Hua Jingxiang sat down again, Staring at the sandalwood in the room, she sighed, and said gratefully: "Palace Master, I am really touched."
"I'm so touched, I never thought that Jingtao, who always had his eyes high above his head, was indifferent and alienated, but finally he fell in love with such an unremarkable guy, and he was still a man." Ximen Duohong thought of his brother's indifferent look. As soon as he looked out of breath, he became irritable.
"Men... Can't a man's love be sacred once?" Hua Jingxiang choked, and for some reason, a faint feeling of disappointment rose in his heart, no, it can't be said to be faint, because he almost shed tears tears.But it's really not strong, and there is no feeling of labored breathing.
Asking this sentence, Ximen Duohong was also taken aback, staring blankly at Hua Jingxiang, for some reason, the fantasy of two people happily living together under the plum tree appeared in his mind, and he felt his heart flutter, before his reason returned to the basket , secretly came up with an idea: If you can be with Jing Xiang, even if you are cut off from your children and grandchildren, it seems pretty good to just be with him for the rest of your life.
With this thought, even Ximen Duohong himself was startled, he quickly shook his head and suppressed the thought.
He raised his head and was about to talk to Hua Jingxiang when he stood up and said: "Yesterday I wanted to go out, but I happened to meet the Lord of the Baili Palace. Now that the matter is settled, I have to go out." , and left the room.
Through the window, you can see Hua Jingxiang's slender and elegant back walking in the courtyard. Ximen Duohong watched silently, with endless tenderness in his heart.
He lay down, thinking of Baili Jingtao's words about sharing life and death with Xie Xiangfeng, for some reason, he was not as angry and disappointed as before. (For the story of Baili Jingtao and Xie Xiangfeng, please read "Amorous But Seems Always Ruthless")
Two days later, Baili Jingtao was afraid of the aftereffects of Xie Xiangfeng's vault poison, so he decided to stay in the magic palace for a few days before going back.Ximen Duohong is up to him, although Xingyue is indeed powerful, but they have never been poisoned by the vault, who knows if there will be any mistakes?
Baihualin has been secretly fighting against the Demon Palace, but in the past it was just a small fight, and it couldn't be put on the table.However, he was poisoned once a few months ago, and although Xie Xiangfeng was poisoned now, it was obvious that the other party was targeting Baili Jingtao.
From this point of view, Baihualin is going to turn from the dark to the bright, and is going to compete with the Demon Palace with all its strength. It is also true that they have endured humiliation and been suppressed for so many years, so it is time to raise their heads and fight back.
Ximen Duohong was very merciful and sympathetic to speak for Baihualin in his heart. He was meditating when he saw Hua Jingxiang walk in and said with a smile: "Palace Master, the weather is not bad today. There is sun. I heard that the two places in Songyu Tower There is a batch of ice fish in the sky, why don't you go and buy some with me, and I will cook for you in the evening, how about steaming a few for you?"
Ximen Duohong was very moved. The ice fish was a big fish that was caught by shaving off the ice on the lake surface. Because of the winter, those fish were very fat. Not to mention the delicious taste, there was also a stick of oil The aroma, thinking about it, makes the index finger move, not to mention that Hua Jingxiang cooks it himself, it is even more delicious.
Thinking of this, just as he was about to agree, he suddenly saw the big book on the table, and couldn't help sighing: "Forget it, Jingxiang, you just have to work a little bit, although the New Year's Eve has passed, but seeing the beginning of spring, all business You have to come up with a plan. Hmph, you're going to be tricky and push the burden to me. Now you, the general manager, can go out and steal half a day's leisure, but I, the dignified Palace Master, have to suffer here. Is there anything else? Is it right?"
Hua Jingxiang smiled and said: "In that case, I will go by myself. These tents are the lifeblood of the general palace. If you don't work hard, whoever works hard, well, don't complain, I will buy ice fish and steam it for you, right? Make up your body." While talking, he went out the door.
Ximen Duohong continued to look at the account book here, thinking that I, the chief palace lord, are too miserable, right?Fortunately, there is food to eat at night, um, this is still very good.
Thinking of delicious food, I felt a little more at ease. I was about to write down the plans and goals of the bank's business in the notebook, when I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance, accompanied by a few thrilling shouts: " Hurry... hurry up, Shubai, you...you hold on..."
Ximen Duohong's heart sank all of a sudden.I thought that last time it seemed that Jingxiang was going out, but I met Jingtao at the gate, which made me use an incomparably precious star and moon on a young man.
Could it be that he met some bastard who asked for Xingyue at the gate again this time, so he brought him back?If this is the case, then we have to prevent him from going out in the future. This Xingyue is not a big tonic pill, as much as you want. According to his way of going out, I have spent decades of hard work to cultivate these few Xingyue (It's skill, not time. Ximen Duohong was naturally carefully cultivated by his father when he was a child, so although he is young, his skill is extremely high.) In less than a year, he had to be defeated by me.
Although Ximen Duohong thought this way, he thought it was just thinking like this. He never dreamed that things would really happen like this. The two guys Baili Jingtao and Xie Xiangfeng haven't gone out yet. The second master who wanted Xingyue came.
Ximen Duohong felt that he was really going to vomit blood. Was the man in front of him with disheveled hair, red eyes, haggard beard and shaggy beard really his brother Shangguan Qianzhan who had always been calm and unchanging before Mount Tai collapsed?Not to mention the demeanor of the master of the Demon Palace, even a sweeping person standing beside him is stronger than his respectable appearance.
Ximen Duohong really wanted to kick Shangguan Qianzhan twice, this time he made up his mind not to give Xingyue, but Hua Jingxiang was beside him, and said gently that Shangguan Qianzhan had an old disease of madness, and as a result The guy immediately climbed up the pole.
Ximen Duohong was frightened by his appearance. Compared with his brother, Xingyue's life was more important than his brother's. In the end, he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky and watched Xingyue, who had exhausted his efforts, disappear from Li Shubai's mouth. I really want to kick this bloody man out of bed.
But at last the ears calmed down, and the two bastards saw that their lover was healed, and left one by one.When Ximen Duohong saw them, he was depressed and angry, so naturally he refused to see them off.
On the contrary, Hua Jingxiang abided by his duties as a master, Baili Jingtao sneaked away by himself and did not deliver it, but he politely sent Shangguan Qianzhan to the gate.
Because of this, he saw Sikong Lanyue's carriage, but this time it had nothing to do with Hua Jingxiang.Sikong Lanyue came in with a scepter, and Xingyue was also exchanged for things.If Hua Jingxiang made a mistake, it means that he didn't remind Ximen Duohong that the cold jade pearl was fake.
But of course Ximen Duohong didn't know.What made him worry all the time was Hua Jingxiang's surprised and joyful attitude when he heard that the person in Sikong Lanyue's arms was Su Dongli, the number one talent in the world.
What happened to the number one genius in the world?Dare to claim to be number one in the world, isn't he an arrogant person?Hmph, Jing Xiang is also very talented, is it necessary to respect this kid so much?Look at that look, it's really full of surprises, why have I never seen him show such a look to me.
Palace Master Ximen's heart was filled with sourness, and the heart that was opened up by the story of Baili Jingtao and Xie Xiangfeng gradually began to move.I thought to myself, could it be that I am jealous?Well, it seems to be so interesting, anyway, I don’t like Jingxiang to praise others, but... But he is just my manager, I... When did I have such nasty thoughts about him?
While thinking about it, he had to deal with Sikong Lanyue, but after hearing that the other party was willing to exchange Hanbizhu for Xingyue, Ximen Duohong immediately changed his attitude, and gave Xingyue to Su Dongli without saying a word .
Han Bizhu, that is a fairy product that can only be encountered but not sought after. With it, it only takes a few days to refine ten stars and moons. This is a good deal, too good.
