Chapter 25 Gathering(2/4)

Luwan is very deserted at night, and every household is closed and the lights are turned off, so it looks particularly dark.

She walked in the darkness and thought over and over again: It's dawn, it's dawn...

Just then, a little light appeared in front of him.

The light gradually approached, and it turned out that a girl was carrying a lamp. The girl was dressed in an ordinary manner and looked ordinary, but the lamp she carried was extremely exquisite: the lamp head was carved into the shape of a phoenix bird looking back, and the lampshade was two white feathers. The light shone through the feathers, adding a bit of dreaminess. Two long white tail feathers dragged to the extreme. As the girl walked, the bird seemed to be alive.

Yishu looked at the lamp in a steady state, but couldn't move his eyes for a moment.

The girl came to her and suddenly laughed: "Like it?"

Yishu nodded subconsciously.

The girl turned the handle of the lamp and handed it to her: "Send it to you?"

Yi Shu became alert and did not answer. Instead, he looked her carefully and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you still walking outside during the curfew?"

"Aren't you?"

"I am a princess!"

"Is the scarred princess?"

The girl's clear eyes seemed to see her ugly body directly through the cloak she wrapped around her. This feeling of being offended and being known made Yishu furious: "Who are you?! Come on the person-come--"

She didn't come out alone.

Her guards all followed her from afar.

After Ke Yishu finished calling, no one answered. When he looked back, he found that behind him was empty, and there was no other footprints on the ground with a thin layer of snow.

Yi Shu gritted his teeth and decided to take action himself.

Over the years, when her father was in a good mood, he would occasionally teach her a few tricks. She learned hard and practiced very hard, and fantasized about being able to beat that man one day and get relief. Therefore, she not only knows martial arts, but also is quite good.

However, she couldn't even touch the corner of the girl's clothes. No matter how she made a move, the other party could always avoid it one step ahead of time, and the phoenix bird lights floated around, and the tail feathers drew a beautiful curve.

Yi Shu was beaten up and walked in the snow for a long time. She was unable to support her strength. Finally, she had to stop and stared at the girl three feet away panting and said, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The girl handed the lamp handle to her again: "Do you want it?"

Yi Shu simply took it and put it in his hand. It was even more exquisite when you looked closely. Each feather was real and soft and elastic to the touch. This kind of fine workmanship was by no means a product of Cheng Guo. Only the country where the game was lost was willing to spend so much effort on useless things.

"Are you from Bi?"

"Do you like Bi?"

"The father said that sooner or later, it will be the territory of our country of Cheng!" Yishu didn't know why she said that. She obviously hated that person, but when she mentioned such a topic, she still felt glorious. Perhaps, her ambition and desire for power have been buried in her bones with her blood.

When the girl heard such arrogant words, she smiled: "If you are wary, you will die."

Yi Shu spat: "I still forgot to fight and will be in danger!"

The girl's eyes flashed a few times, and for some reason, she seemed a little disappointed: "It seems that you are not the same as I think. Forget it, return the lamp to me."

Yi Shu refused to return and stepped back two steps and said, "I will give it to me!"

The girl's figure flashed, and Yishu felt that the light was gone in her hand. Seeing her floating away with the light, the only light was about to disappear in the boundless snowy night, Yishu's nose felt sore and his eyes suddenly turned red.

She simply sat down in the snow without considering her image, grabbed a handful of snow and threw it out: "Each one! They all bully me... Why? Why? Why?

The wound was sore and the body was cold. Yi Shu thought desperately: When will such a day end?

She suddenly pulled a dagger out of her boots, pointed it at her throat, and poked it tremblingly.

And this time, like countless times before, it passed by the moment it touched the skin, without even leaving a red mark.

She was shocked and then smiled bitterly: "Coward! I don't even dare to die!"

A sigh rang out from behind her.

Yi Shu was startled and jumped up immediately, but found that the girl had come back at some point, but she turned off the light, so she appeared without warning.

Yi Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you leaving?"

The girl looked at her, with a look of something that made her sick. By the way, she sympathized with her.

Yishu thought: This palace does not need sympathy! She snorted coldly and turned around to return to the palace. Just as she passed by the girl, the girl suddenly said, "King Cheng is addicted to war and is not happy about me. I want to change someone to be King Cheng. Are you interested?"

Yi Shu was shocked and could not believe her ears. When she came to her senses, the first thing she said was: "Who are you? You can change it if you say it?"

The girl smiled and pointed her finger at her nose and said, "I am Qi'er, Qi'er of Ruyimen, and the future Mrs. Ruyi. So, if I want to change it, I can change it."

Yishu's heart sank-she knew the name of Mrs. Ruyi.

A few late at night, when my father was sleeping soundly, my confidant came to report that the wife was coming, and no matter how reluctant the father was, he would get up to see her. She was curious, but she dared not ask. One day, she found an unburned brush in the stove in her study. The pen tube of the brush was hollow and the things inside were burned. Since then, she became concerned and often checked whether there were any extra pens. Finally one day, she saw an unmoved pen and opened the pen tube before her father came. There was indeed a dense note inside, which said that the father would send the farming and sericulture tax this year as soon as possible, and the signature was "Madam Ruyi".

Only then did she realize that her arrogant father actually wanted to listen to others' words. That person was Mrs. Ruyi.

At this moment, the girl in front of her, who was not much older than her, actually said that she was the future Mrs. Ruyi, and said that she didn't like her father and wanted to change the emperor. How could she not shocked her?

Yi Shu was stunned, trembling all over, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The girl Qi'er suddenly reached out and touched her head: "Go back and think about it carefully. Three days later, I will come to you to ask for the answer." Then, she lit the light again, stuffed it into her hand again, and then floated away.

Yishu just held the lamp and looked at her until she disappeared at the end of the road. She felt that everything that happened was unreal. If it weren't for the extra lamp in her hand, she would have thought it would be a dream.

That was Yi Shu's first encounter with Qi'er.

Qi'er gave her a lamp and a suggestion.

She had been struggling with this for three days. After finally plucking up the courage to try it, three days later, Qi'er did not come. The person who came was Luo Zi, the father's favorite concubine.

Only then did she realize that Luo Zi was actually from the Ruyi Sect! And she came with the orders of the current Mrs. Ruyi. She couldn't help asking Luo Zi for Qi'er, and Luo Zi said, "She was sent by her wife to do other things and is not in Chengjing for the time being."

Then she never saw Qi'er again. She only heard from Luo Zi that Qi'er was missing and likely to be dead.

Then, she waited for the internal strife of Ruyi Sect, and used her eyes to destroy the Ruyi Sect base camp, forcing Mrs. Ruyi to flee in panic, and then disappeared into her world.

At this moment, Pin Congmu actually told her that Qi'er was back, what does this mean?

"You didn't catch her? You didn't catch Mrs. Ruyi?"

Pin Congmu said lightly: "So I'll tell you that your enemy has appeared again, not only that, but also helpers. If you take it lightly, you will be the next person to escape."

Yi Shu's face changed again and again, but in the end he still sneered: "It's great, I'm just about to catch it."

Seeing that she was stubborn, Pin Congmu saw that she was stubborn, she stopped talking and turned around and wanted to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yi Shu suddenly turned his eyes and said delicately: "It's so late, stay for a night before leaving."

Pin Cong looked at her with a smile, shook his head, and disappeared into the dark shadow.

Yi Shu was still holding a comb in his hand, and there were several broken hairs in the comb. If the palace maid had comb her hair like this, she would have been killed by her, but this time she had to combed it by herself, so she could only pull it out without expression and continue.

"I will win." She stared at herself in the bronze mirror and said over and over again, "I have survived the most difficult stage, and nothing can stop me anymore. I will definitely win! Yifei, Mrs. Ruyi, Xue Cai... all those who oppose me will die!"

***

On the morning of the eighth day of September, Luwan was clear and the weather was very hot.

The Ma family and Zhou family surrounded Yun's door every day and asked Yun Di for someone. Yun Shanshan rushed out and beat them up.

When the head of the Ma family and Zhou family heard the news, they immediately went to the palace to cry to the queen in tears. Halfway through the crying, Ma Kang, who was premature, fainted, and finally had to lie on the back of the elephant and go home.

At noon, Hu Jiuxian's ship arrived at the port and transported a whole ship of ice, because Mr. Hu wanted to recuperate here but he thought the weather was hot. Everyone looked enviously at the huge ice cubes of heights that were carried into Mr. Hu's private house in Luwan, thinking that it didn't matter whether he was like him or not.

Many people were waiting outside the station, asking for a message to see Feng Xiaoya and Xue Cai. Feng Xiaoya refused them all. Xue Cai refused them all, so there was a long queue in front of his door.

On this day, the people of Luwan City watched more lively than in the past year. And at dusk, the biggest show came - Yang Shuo.

Although Yang Shuo was a son of the Cheng Kingdom's aristocratic family, his fame was far less than Xue Cai, Hu Jiuxian and Feng Xiaoya, and even his father Yang Hui. Moreover, he was very low-key and rode a small brown horse outside the city gate alone, without even taking his entourage, so he was not at all eye-catching.

However, just as the guards guarding the city gate checked the road as usual, a ox cart suddenly rushed over, and the pedestrians along the way were shocked - they had never seen a ox running so fast!

An old man with white eyebrows was sitting in the car. The old man waved his whip and drove away the thunder.

When Yang Shuo saw this, his face changed suddenly and he urged the guards to say, "Hurry up!"

When he urged him, the guard was unhappy: "What are you urging me to urge me to? Where are you rushing to reincarnate?"

Before he finished speaking, the ox cart had already rushed to the front of the level, and the old man shouted: "Yang Shuo, you dare to try it if you dare to go into the city!"

Several pedestrians around recognized him and saluted him one after another: "Sir?! Why are you here?"

"Is this Mr. Yang? I'm here to see Mr. Li, please pay homage to you..."

The old man ignored anyone, jumped out of the ox cart and squeezed away everyone and rushed to Yang Shuo, and was so angry that he thrilled.

Yang Shuo sighed, but when he turned around, a frivolous and gentle smile appeared on his face: "Oh, father, it's been a long time since we saw each other."

This person is his father Yang Hui. He is only fifty years old, but he is as old as in his seventies or eighties. Not only is his hair white, but he is almost bald. In addition, he is wearing coarse linen sandals, he looks like an old farmer in the countryside. Who would have thought that he was the number one scholar in Cheng Country?

Only then did the people around him realize that the young man in front of him was Yang Shuo, one of the candidates for Mrs. Wang. He was burly and tall, with a pair of sword eyebrows very righteous, but when he smiled, he only raised one corner of his lips, which was full of evil. Such two qualities that were incompatible coexist perfectly on his face, making him look charming.

Everyone was excited and looked at the father and son with bright eyes.

Yang Hui calmed down for a while, stopped panting before speaking: "As long as you go back with me now, you will be fine."

The curve of Yang Shuo's lips deepened a little, and he smiled and said with a smile: "What if your son isn't? Do you want to cut off the father-son relationship with me?"

Yang Hui looked at him, and after a moment, he walked to the city gate, sat cross-legged, then took something out of his arms, and placed it in front of his knees: "If you step into this door, I will let this thing come in handy immediately."

Everyone looked closely and found that it was a tablet with Yang Hui's name written on it!
