Chang Huanxi

Most of the houses in Linhuazhai were turned off, except for the weak candles in the main house.

Originally, Ya'er wanted to follow the etiquette to visit Qi Yuan first, but she couldn't say anything when she saw the starlight in Shen Yanhuan's eyes.

"It's getting late, don't disturb the Fourth Highness to rest, I'll go see the Fourth Highness tomorrow."

Shen Yanhuan didn't think much about it, she just thought she was tired, so she asked the old housekeeper to take her down to rest, and took a few bouquets of fragrant flowers to the main house, and smelled the fragrance when she was in the carriage, then At that time, he was thinking, what kind of flower is this?

Qi Yuan was waiting for him on the corridor.

Two days later...

A large table was set up on Shiwu Street, and this is a good time, all the vegetable sellers and cooks around put down their work, and tightly surrounded the three floors of the table that suddenly appeared, But no one knows what it is used for.

"Look! Isn't that Daoist Qi?" Someone found Qi Yuan standing in the corner.

He was holding a slightly longer bamboo pole in his arms, and his white Taoist robe was spotless. At this moment, he was carefully tying Shen Yanhuan's belt like an old woman, regardless of the expression on the face of the person in front of him. There is nothing to love.

Shen Yanhuan couldn't sleep last night, and it took him most of the night to finally get him to sleep, so he got up late today as a matter of course.

The old butler directed a few young and strong men to move a huge copper basin and put it in the center of the table. Shen Yanhuan nodded at Qi Yuan, pulled a few ribbons in his hand and threw them towards the four diagonal corners. Then it was firmly wrapped around the four pillars standing on the opposite corners.

The crowd burst into applause and applause, and Shen Yanhuan instantly felt like she was performing juggling.

A burning torch was thrown into the copper basin, and the flames burst into the sky. Shen Yanhuan quietly retreated to the side, watching him step on the high platform, raised his hands and sleeves, and waved his hands along with the solemn drum beat. The bamboo pole in the middle, the bamboo pole split into flames, and there was a crackling sound.

This is the ritual of inviting God.

Everyone present clearly knew that this was a farce, but no one spoke out.The scene was so quiet that only the sound of horseshoes and firewood burning in the distance could be heard.

"As soon as you ask the gods, where is the god staying here!" Qi Yuan shouted loudly, not sure if it was an illusion, the flame in the copper basin dwarfed by a few minutes and then rose several feet.

There was a clear and pleasant bell sound in the air, and the red ribbon that covered the sky and the sun was interspersed with the white ribbon that had been hung up before, and a graceful figure stood gracefully on top of the flames.

"This, this is! The girl in red!"

"That Yunyang..."

"My God, there really is..."

People could no longer control their emotions, and told the people around them how unbelievable they were.

But Qi Yuan kowtowed to the heaven and earth again, and said loudly: "Second kowtow, ask the gods, who came to create this evil obstacle!"

Where no one else could see, the red bell winked playfully at him, pulled the red silk in her hand, and the silver bell rang again.

In a blink of an eye, he had already walked up to the heads of the crowd watching, and stood obliquely in front of a person, staring at him condescendingly without blinking his eyes.

Master Liu sat down on the ground with a disheveled face.

"It's me...it's me who brought the punishment of the gods..."

The ribbon in Hong Ling's hand passed around the back of his neck, slowly and gently wrapped around its neck and tightened little by little.

Mr. Liu was strangled and speechless, only his eyes were wide open, and his limbs struggled to escape from the bondage of this thing.

"Three questions to the gods, how to deal with this person!"

There was a smile in Hong Ling's eyes, a smiling face was vainly hidden under a red veil covering the face, and the voice that came out of her mouth was also psychedelic and unreal, but one could guess what she was saying.

"die……"

Qi Yuan nodded solemnly, touched the bamboo pole in his hand, and a sharp sword blade hung in the air directly above Master Liu's head.

If someone is willing to look carefully, they will find that the hilt of "Linyan" is tightly wrapped with several circles of silver wire.

But now that people are in shock, it's time to watch those.Shen Yanhuan stepped on the layers of silk and ribbons with her toes to hide her figure.

I'm just a little tired, I can't see clearly as if my eyes are covered with a layer of fog, and I feel uncomfortable, but I can't rub it because I have something in my hand.I don't know if it's because I didn't sleep well yesterday.

He carefully controlled the strength in his hand, although he couldn't see clearly, but he could keep Linyan from prying Master Liu's head off with his intuition.

Liu Gong was actually very scared in his heart. Of the three parties in front of him, if any accident happened to one of them, his life would be ruined. Even if he had already colluded with the Fourth Highness in advance, who can guarantee Is this point sure to be able to do what it says?

Qi Yuan: Why aren't you here yet?

He took a few steps forward and slowly moved towards the edge of the high platform. Some people thought he was performing some weird ritual, but in fact he was just delaying time.

"Qi Daochang!" When Li Ying's voice came, almost all of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

But it's finally here, and the show won't last any longer!

"Please stop Daoist Qi! Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you, don't... don't kill him."

Li Ying knelt down in front of the high platform, not paying any attention to what the people around her were talking about. She only knew that she had hated her for so long and had the blood of so many innocent girls on her hands, but she never thought of hurting him from the beginning to the end. a cent.

Qi Yuan rushed to the housekeeper and servants who were guarding the side and nodded, and immediately someone cut off the end of the ribbon tied to the pillar with a knife, and the sky collapsed in an instant, and the people under the cover were scattered away by the guards mixed in the crowd .

Li Ying stood in front of Liu Gong under the fluttering red ribbon, and suddenly laughed.

She stretched out her hand to lift the veil, her fingers like green jade were painted with gorgeous Koudan, she was wearing a low-necked shirt today, Qi Yuan found that there was a beautifully painted peony protruding from the neckline around her neck , it seems that she has a strange beauty in her whole body.

Shen Yanhuan and Hong Ling came out from under the silk cloth and looked at each other, both felt that the proprietress was a bit scary at the moment, and they didn't want to get close.

"Qi Daochang, didn't you go through so much trouble just to get me to tell the truth? Now I'll tell you, tell you everything..."

Li Ying ignored Liu Gong who fell to the ground, as if he was just an irrelevant person.

In her story, there is actually no god.

Twenty-five years ago, a young and beautiful girl was selected by her family and was about to be sent to the palace to become the emperor's concubine. At that time, Empress Yuan was still alive, and Di Jing only dared to test her at the border.

The empress hadn't had a place for many years, and all the ministers who had girls in their families dreamed that the one in their own family would be the first to give birth to the heir, and since then the high-ranking officials and the salary have been on the rise.

That year Li Ying was 15 years old, she was in her prime youth, and she had a beautiful skin left, so she became a victim of the family as a matter of course.

That year, it was Liu Gong who was catching up with the selection of beauties for the emperor. The two fell in love at first sight, and they met and escaped from the palace gate on a full moon night.

The love when they were young was always warm and beautiful, and they did spend a long time of happiness.But the good times didn't last long, and the people in the palace wall still found them.

I don't know whether it was good luck or not. When the officers and soldiers found them, they happened to meet bandits going down the mountain. When the two sides met and fought, they actually let them escape.

But Li Ying's face was stabbed by random arrows during the chaos, leaving behind ugly scars that could not be erased. The scars spread all over the lower half of her face, and the long line seemed to tear her mouth open. A crack opened.

She thought that as long as they got through this difficulty, they would be able to live their lives peacefully.

Everyone thought that they had already died in that fight, and later when Di Jing invaded and the Son of Heaven personally conquered them, this old incident was gradually submerged in the long time.

"But people... can't be exempt after all, what he loves is only my face." Li Ying smiled ironically.Liu Gong changed to kneeling on the ground at some point, and his body couldn't help shaking when he heard this.

"He fell in love with someone else after all."

Li Ying shrugged indifferently, "You know what happened later, I killed those girls. It's just that I still don't want to see him die. It's so strange..."

"Ah Ying..." Liu Gong leaned forward and wanted to grab the corner of her clothes, but Li Ying avoided her in disgust.

"Yun Yingying, who lived with you for three years, is dead! You killed him, right? Who are you showing this gesture to?" At this moment, Li Ying seemed to be in a normal state again. The lady boss is the one and only.

Hong Ling gasped in surprise, and said in a low voice: "She is actually Yun Yingying..."

No wonder that day when she and Shen Yanhuan faced swords, there was always a familiar shadow in every move. It turned out that she was the only female disciple born in the Yinshan line of Jingchuan Sword Sect that Hongyue said.

Li Ying walked in front of Qi Yuan, and said lightly: "That's all, what are you going to do next? Kill me?"

Qi Yuan sighed: "I wish I could kill him now."

The man who huddled on the ground and retreated a little was frightened, and immediately got up and ran.Shen Yanhuan glanced at him, Qi Yuan shook his head, so he stopped chasing him.

Li Ying sneered, "Look at him like this, why did I fall in love with such a person!"

"One more thing, I want to know what role Di Jing played in this matter?"

A wind blew up on the ground, raising a thin layer of dust, Qi Yuan pulled Shen Yanhuan behind to block it.

Li Ying couldn't hide her envy in her eyes, she thought for a while and said, "It was Di Jing who dug me out of the mass grave and sent me to Jingchuan Sword Sect."
