A few days later, I packed my luggage and left Qiuhuang Palace together with Jie Xinghen, Qiu Xinliu, and Tie Mian.

Before leaving, the Hall Master once asked me: "Will you come back?"

At that time, I knew that he was actually not as sure as he said. He valued me after years of hints from the puppet master—however, I wanted to know more, if there was no hint from the puppet master, what would I have done? Treat him with sincerity, is he really not moved at all?Just like Mrs. Hu, she devoted her whole life to him, but all she got in return was use, cold face, and orders.

It is such a master of the Emperor Qiu, why would anyone be willing to follow?Could it be that those people's minds are all under control, is it true that Jiang Yulang can easily confuse people's hearts, even I don't know what happened to me back then, how could I fall into it so easily?

Xie Xinghen looked back at me, beside him, Qiu Xinliu's expression was not good, I quickened my pace, took a few quick steps, and Iron Face followed behind me.

When leaving the hall, Jiang Wuque put on the iron mask again and was ordered to obey me, so it was not surprising that he followed me.

On the streets of Yichang, I never imagined that after that heavy rain, I would walk on this street again.

The palace master knows that Su Ying is good at making hidden weapons, so before going to Peach Blossom Valley to relieve Xinghen, he first came to Yichang to find Xiaoyuer's old friend Xuanyuan Sanguang to find out.

"Wait a minute, you go to the gambling house, I won't go." Halfway, I caught up with Xie Xinghen and said to him.

After all, the Palace Master lost me to Xiao Yuer a few months ago, everything is still vivid in my memory, but now I have to calculate with my heart, how to destroy the Palace Master's plan, how to stop him, and how to guard against him.In the place where his mind is full of him asking me "I am not satisfied", I will not be hard-hearted.

After all, my father underestimated Jiang Yulang. I didn't even think that after more than ten years of planning, what he wanted in the end was the supreme position above everyone else.

"Are you okay?" Jie Xing looked at me worriedly, "I'm still too tired, shall we take a rest before leaving?"

"No need." I shook my head, because the eldest lady of Qiuhuangdian had already frowned, "Xinghen, it's her business if she doesn't leave, don't forget that daddy has a life, we don't have to delay!"

I went to see Qiu Xinliu, along the way, she didn't treat me well, maybe Jie Xinghen was too accommodating to me and poked her sore spot.It has been four years, and she has also grown up, and she is no longer the little girl who could tell me what was on my mind face to face. It's all for understanding Xinghen, everything is for one person.

"There are performers over there." I pointed to the acrobatic troupe in front of Wenchang Temple, "Go to the casino first, Tie Mian and I will watch the performance here for a while, and wait for you by the way."

"……it is good."

In the end, the two left side by side, "It's a good match," I turned my head and asked Tie Mian, "They are a good match, right?"

Tie Mian was also looking at the direction the two were leaving, but there was no response, and he only said two words: "I don't know."

"It's okay." I pulled him to Wenchang Temple, and a drunk man came out on the road, took a jug of wine, and drank it while praising: "Ah, this temperature, this taste... this fragrant and seductive feeling... ..."

"I bumped into someone." I pushed the drunk man away from Tie Mian, but the drunk man came back to me in a daze, and asked me, "Little girl, do you want to taste this wine? It's like a fairy..."

"Really?" I saw that he couldn't speak, so I went to take the flagon in his hand, put it to my nose and sniffed, "Cough!" I was immediately dizzy from the smoke.

"This is not wine. It's obviously a wine tank. It's so thick that it can't be melted." Then I smiled. I went to a tea shop on the street and asked for a cup. I poured out a cup of wine that was as thick as honey. For the drunk, take the glass to the iron face's nose.

"Smell it and see, does it smell good?"

Tie Mian slightly lowered his head, and then replied: "It's not fragrant."

"I have no knowledge!" I laughed at him, "This wine is very pure. A man must know how to drink alcohol, and he must also know how to drink pure and strong wine. Come, have a taste." I put the wine glass to his lips, and he He lowered his head, took my hand, and took a small sip, then the wine passed through his throat, without tasting it, he swallowed it directly into his stomach.

"Waste!" I pushed the wine glass to his lips again, "Man, come on, take one breath, and finish it!"

Tie Mian bowed his head obediently, and sure enough, he drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

"How do you feel?" I saw his half-drowned eyes gradually lighten up, and I guessed that he was not drinking well. After the hard face, his face must have turned red, and his complexion also changed.

"Let's go." I lowered my hand, stretched forward to hold his palm, then turned lightly, and passed my five fingers through his fingers—"Follow me closely." Turning to him, I took his hand Go forward happily.

In front of Wenchang Temple, Tie Mian was really a little drunk, and swayed to and fro involuntarily.

I pulled him so that he had one shoulder on mine, and pointed him to what he called "the hardest magic trick of the century" - eating fire.

"Obviously it's fire-breathing." I commented, then turned the iron mask around, and asked him to watch the little girl in red perform a color ball throwing performance. The little girl complained while tossing, "Hands are so sore..."

I took the opportunity to say: "Throw it to me, throw it to me!"

The little girl was startled, and then she smiled, "Then you take it—!"

One ball was thrown over, followed by the second one, the third one... I was still able to handle the four ones, but I was too busy to deal with the five ones, and I didn't know where to swing my hands, so I shouted: "Iron face, iron face, hurry up!" Reach for the ball!"

Tie Mian stretched out his hand, and I threw him two balls. He followed my example and threw the balls high into the sky, raised his head slightly, watched the balls fall, and changed hands—"Throw them to me again!" I called.

He threw the ball back, and I threw the ball in my hand back to him. Back and forth, the little girl in red kept leaning towards her with both hands, and more balls circled back and forth between the three of them, flying into the air. Flying over, drawing a streamlined curve under the sun.

And I turned my head to look at the iron face, and then... I was stunned.

In the sun, he caught the ball I threw him, and then smiled softly.

He smiled... I was taken aback.

Jiang Wuque laughed?

Jiang Wuque laughed!

Without my order, not being manipulated by anyone, when he raised his eyes to look at the sky again, the colored ball was played by him so that it jumped up and down, and under the white iron mask, the corners of his lips curled up——

"Watch the ball!"

Suddenly, a little girl yelled, and I came back to my senses. A colored ball hit my forehead, and I felt my eyes go dark, and immediately I heard another child screaming loudly behind me: "The rice vat is coming—— The rice vat is coming - run away! Run away!"

When I turned around in a daze, a round and tumbling rice vat had already come to my feet and bumped into me—"Ah!"

Looking back, the person who saved me was Iron Face.

"Are you awake?!" I stepped forward, "Jiang Wuque, you are awake, Jiang Wuque!"

I shook his arm, but he no longer smiled, his eyes were still half down, looking straight ahead.

But I know that he was the one who saved me. I wasn't dazzled by the smile in the sun just now. Jiang Wuque never did this. He was hit by the puppet technique, and he never once acted spontaneously without getting an order.

It's that man's wine!I suddenly remembered that it must be the wine, so pure and strong, that the puppet was drunk, so Jiang Wuque had a moment to react, so he smiled, he was really smiling, it was the real Jiang Wuque, he was talking to me laugh.

"Jiang Wuque! Jiang Wuque!" I still shook him vigorously, trying to make him look down and look at me again.

But no more, he stood straight and let me push him forward and backward, unresponsive, his eyes blank.

"Jiang Wuque..." I put down my hand, smiled, and suddenly felt a tear fall to my lips.

Leaning over to hug him, with a thin body, he simply hugged his waist tightly. On the streets of Yichang, the restraint of a woman's family has long been lost...

……

It has been a long time since Xie Xinghen and Qiu Xinliu came back, and both of them had ugly expressions, as if they were having an awkward fight.

Xie Xinghen usually doesn't laugh anymore, but now his expression is even more gloomy, cold and ruthless.

Qiu Xinliu followed behind him, and said to him, "Do you have necrophilia? Kittens, puppies, even dead pigs can be eaten. What did you do to save that dead woman?!"

"What's the matter?" I walked up to the two of them and asked, and Tie Mian followed me as usual.

"Ask him!" Qiu Xinliu raised her eyebrows angrily.

"What happened?" I turned my head and asked Xie Xinghen again.

"It's nothing," Jie Xinghen replied lightly, "I met a woman in the gambling house who stood in for others, and lost herself when betting against Xuanyuan Sanguang. That woman was so strong that she took poison. She is highly skilled in medicine, so I rescued her to the inn, and I want you to show her."

"Okay." I answered straight away, but actually wanted to say: Isn't this a trivial matter?But I dare not say it, because the expression on Miss Qiu's face let me know that jealous girls should not be provoked, this is the principle.

The three returned to the inn, and an aunt named Shi Fang came forward and called Xie Xinghen "Young Xia".

"What happened to that woman?" It was Qiu Xinliu who asked first.

Asking what's the use, I stepped forward, "Let me take a look."

Lying on the bed was a comatose woman in purple clothes, her complexion was dark and her lips were blue, but even so, she had a beautiful appearance that was amazing.

No wonder Miss Qiu was unhappy, when I pressed my hand on the woman's veins, I looked at Miss Qiu's face again, and I still wished that this person would die immediately.

"How?" Xie Xinghen asked me from the side.

"Do you know this woman?" I asked back.

Xie Xinghen's face froze, and he said in a deep voice: "That's right, she is Hua Ziyin, the 'Water Shadow Fairy' of the Qi Clan. When my foster father ordered me to destroy Diancang, I met her once."

"Isn't that the enemy?" I withdrew my hand and looked at Qiu Xinliu again, she had lowered her face and sneered.

"Why did you save her?" I asked again.

"It's not to save her." Jie Xinghen replied calmly, "She saved the family who lost to Xuanyuan Sanguang in a bet. I thought to myself, if someone could save my parents from the Jiang brothers, maybe..."

Xie Xing hates not to go on, he has said enough.

Miss Qiu's resentment was finally appeased, replaced by a trace of uneasiness, guilt and struggle when looking at Xie Xinghen.

I asked Tie Mian to protect Hua Ziyin's heart veins with internal strength, and then said: "The poison she has been poisoned is extremely poisonous. I can only extend her life, but I cannot save her life."

"That……"

"Maybe there is another way." Aunt Shifang said at this time, "There is a small Wenchang temple in the upper part of the county, and there is a monk with epilepsy in the temple. The monk often tells anecdotes about the world with the children in the county, and he is very knowledgeable. Guang, there may be a way."

So Xie Xinghen and Qiu Xinliu went to ask for advice, and they came back not long after. They said that there is a Tiezhan Mountain in the northwest of Yichang, and there is a strange flower of Narcissus japonica growing in the mountain. If you want to save people, you can go to find flowers.

Xie Xinghen decided to go to Tiezhan Mountain, Qiu Xinliu complained: "I ran around and didn't even have a sip of tea. I'm traveling on an empty stomach. My stomach can't bear it."

Xie Xinghen frowned, but ignored her, and asked me instead: "Yuan—"

"Ping ping ping bang bang" sounded, and then turned around, Qiu Xinliu had already swept all the cups and cups on the table next to him with the longbow in his hand.

"What are you doing?!" Jie Xinghen changed his expression and snapped.

I froze for a moment, and suddenly remembered that in the hall master's room that day, Xie Xinghen also called out "surplus", and the hall master immediately overturned the low stool and everything on it. At that time, I thought the hall master was sick. Fa, now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"I'm hungry." He barely managed to adjust the atmosphere, "Let's go to the street and eat something."
