After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

Regarding the Boundless Flowing Fire, the three people in the room had never mentioned it before Gong Huanyu came.

But, "Did Zheng Nanyi tell you this?" Yang Mei asked again. Gong Hongyu had no chance to interrupt at all.

"...I found a letter on her body that was probably written by her superior, and it mentioned the Infinite Flowing Fire." After saying that, Gong Huanyu added consciously, "The letter was hidden quite secretly, so it's normal that Brother Lingshang didn't find it."

Yang Mei nodded: "That's right, I don't just flip through a girl's clothes, that's no different from being a lewd person."

Frightened by his naked connotation, Gong Huanyu's face turned ashen bit by bit.

Yang Mei covered her mouth and yawned, then stood up and said, "It's already very late. Even if Zhi Ren and the young master are night owls and don't want to sleep, we can't force others not to sleep. Brother Shang Jiao and I will go back first.

In addition, Young Master, please buy some walnuts to nourish your brain. Zheng Nanyi is an assassin sent by Wufeng. She must have some ulterior motives when she entered the palace. What is there in the palace that is worth their ulterior motive? It's just that little thing. Even if there is no letter, can't you guess it? If she doesn't want the Wuliang Liuhuo, she may want the Baicaocui in the palace, but she won't really want to marry you."

Gong Huanyu almost couldn't hold back the words of national quintessence in his throat. He thought to himself why couldn't this assassin come just to marry him? He was a young master after all, and marrying him would mean she would be the sword-wielding lady in the future!

After wearing the mask of hypocrisy for too long, he finally swallowed his anger.

Yang Mei looked at Gong Huanyu with sarcasm in his eyes. If this man refuted him, he would look at him with higher regard.

Gong Shangjiao didn't want to stay here anymore, so he followed Yang Mei and left. At the door, they saw Zheng Nanyiyi being escorted by the guards.

Yang Mei walked straight forward without stopping. Jin Jue, who had been waiting outside the door, handed him a small and exquisite heater.

"Tsk tsk, you are bullying me because my family didn't come for the expedition." Gong Shangjiao said sourly.

Jin Jue smiled and said, "Look over there."

Gong Shangjiao looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Gong Yuanzheng behind the pillar, wearing a black cloak that reached his ankles, wrapping himself tightly, except for his head which was nodding. If he hadn't leaned against the pillar, he would have been lying on the ground.

When Gong Shangjiao saw it was him, he ran over immediately.

Yang Mei turned her head back and said, "Let's go."

……

That night, after half past the hour of Yin, a red light was lit up on the watchtower and countless white sky lanterns were released into the sky.

Blade wielder Gong Hongyu and young master Gong Huanyu died, and also died in the study room was the assassin Zheng Nanyiyi who was captured the day before.

At that time, the guards were ordered by Gong Hongyu to stay away from the study, so the first witness who discovered their death was Gong Hongyu's concubine, Madam Wu Ji, who came to deliver midnight snack.

Okay, let’s inform the elders first. The elders will first suspect the bride-to-be living in the female guest courtyard. After all, they are the only outsiders.

More than a dozen guards with white belts tied around their waists broke into the female guests' courtyard without saying a word and demanded that all the brides-to-be come out of the study so that they could count the number of people.

After a chaotic search, the search ended with the discovery that Jiang Lili and Yun Weishan were poisoned, and both were carried to the clinic.

At the same time, another group of guards rushed out of the palace, found Gong Ziyu in Wanhua Tower and brought him to the Elders' Council.

When the sky was slightly bright, Yang Mei and the others not only learned that Zhiren and the young master were dead, but also found out that Gong Ziyu had become the new Zhiren of the palace, and a tattoo that only a Zhiren could have was engraved on his back.

The younger generation of the Shang, Jiao and Zheng palaces, as well as Madam Wan, all hurried to the mourning hall. Except for Gong Qijiao, the master of the Jiao palace who was still outside, almost all the important figures in the palace had come.

As soon as they entered the room, Gong Ziyu, who was kneeling in front of the brazier, immediately stood up and questioned Gong Yuanzheng: "The direct relatives of the palace have been taking the Hundred Herbs Extract made by you. They should be immune to all poisons. Why did my father and brother die of poisoning?! What on earth are you doing, Gong Zheng?!" As he said that, he reached out to grab the collar of Gong Yuanzheng's clothes.

Gong Shangjiao pushed his hand away and stood in front of Gong Yuanzheng: "I understand that you are devastated by the murder of your father and brother, but this is not a reason for you to attack Yuanzheng's brother."

Gong Ziyu clenched his fists and wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Madam Wu Ji and Gong Zishang. Elder Yue who came out of the inner room also shouted loudly: "Stop! Shang Jiao, you can't be rude to someone holding a blade."

Gong Yuanzheng pushed aside the tall figure blocking his way and sneered contemptuously, "Holding a blade? Him?!"

"Expedition!" Elder Yue shouted angrily.

"It's ridiculous! Gong Ziyu is qualified to be a blade wielder? What makes him so? The first-line heir should be my brother Gong Shangjiao!" Gong Langjiao also had a gloomy face.

"The first generation of the Palace Master established two family rules: first, the Palace cannot be without a master for a day, and once the Master dies, he must be the first to succeed; second, if the Master and the heir die at the same time, the absent succession must be initiated immediately. Brother Shang Jiao was in the Jiao Palace at the time, and like Yuan Zheng said, he is the first in line to inherit the Master's position.

Let me think about where Gong Ziyu was at that time. He was in Wanhua Tower outside the palace gate! Ha! You specially sent someone to find him from Wanhua Tower to inherit the position of the Blade Master.

What's going on? The position of the sword bearer at the palace gate has been changed to hereditary!"

Yang Mei was now filled with rage. She was inexplicably invited to Gong Hongyu's study in the first half of the night and talked to him about some meaningless things. She hadn't slept for long when another such thing happened!

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, he took two steps towards Gong Ziyu and said, "When your father and brother were poisoned to death, you were still indulging in the pleasures of life. Don't you have any sense of shame?!"

Gong Ziyu couldn't help but take a step back.

"Shut up!" Elder Hua yelled, "It is completely in accordance with the rules for Gong Ziyu to inherit the position of the Sword Master. When the former Sword Master was alive, he discussed the matter of replacing the young master with the three of us elders. Although the former Sword Master was unfortunately killed, the document for replacing the young master has been written and stamped with the Sword Master's seal. We found it in the former Sword Master's study, and it can't be fake. So it is reasonable for Gong Ziyu to be the Sword Master!"

Elder Xue, who had been silent the whole time, blinked a few times but still said nothing.

Yang Mei glanced at the two coffins and tablets not far away and sneered, "Okay, for the sake of the old Blade Master and the former Young Master's corpses, we can put aside the issue of the Blade Master position for now, but we will still mention it in the future."

The three elders all breathed a sigh of relief. They would deal with the future later and just get through today.
