Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Playboy: "..."

With Xue Chongzi in front of him and the Second Miss of Gongmen behind him, he was about to cry: "I don't know anything about the Infinite Flowing Fire, so please don't make things difficult for me. If my father finds out, I'll be in trouble..."

Xue Chongzi reminded him, "If Elder Hua knew that you were planning to intercept the prisoners at the palace dungeon, you would be in big trouble, right?"

The playboy pointed at Xue Chongzi and said, "You...you, brother, please stand aside!"

Gong Yunzheng then assured, "If Young Master Hua tells me about the Infinite Flowing Fire tonight, then only the three of us will know. If a fourth person finds out, Yunzheng will be punished by heaven and earth and die a miserable death."

The playboy scratched his head, finally softening his heart: "There's no need to swear such a vicious oath..."

After hesitating for a while, he confirmed to Gong Yunzheng, "If what you said is true, I will never let anyone else know."

Gong Yunzheng assured again.

Young Master Hua's attitude softened, and after a moment's thought, he said, "The Infinite Flowing Fire is something that only the Elders, the Blade Master, and the Young Master know about within the palace. Of course, our Hua Palace has always preserved the Infinite Flowing Fire, so naturally, I, Young Master Hua, also know about it."

"The power of the Infinite Flowing Fire is enormous. Once it is activated, it will devour the heavens and destroy the earth. It is used by the palace to suppress the aliens in the back mountain."

"Stranger?" Gong Yunzheng was curious.

"I don't know what the 'alien' refers to," Hua Gongzi recalled. "My father hasn't seen one either. I've always felt that they are mutated people. In short, they are very dangerous. If it weren't for the Infinite Flowing Fire to suppress them, I'm afraid the whole world would be in danger."

"Then I understand." Gong Yunzheng thanked Mr. Hua: "Thank you very much, Mr. Hua."

Seeing Xue Zhongzi leaving with Gong Yunzheng, Hua Gongzi asked curiously, "Aren't you going to join us in the robbery...activity?"

Xue Zhongzi turned her back to him and waved, "Be back in a while."

"Brother, please stand aside." The playboy sighed helplessly.

Sensing someone approaching from behind, he patted his shoulder in a threatening manner. The playboy pretended to be frightened, patted his chest and turned around: "Miss, you almost scared me to death..."

"Stop it. Let's go! Let's go meet up with Jin Fan and the others~"

Contrary to Hua Gongzi's expectation, Gong Zishang did not ask what questions Gong Yunzheng asked him, as if he didn't know that Gong Yunzheng had just called him out.

Gong Ziyu and Gong Shangjiao's plan officially began when they robbed the prison and rescued Yun Weishan.

The person who witnessed the internal division of the palace was Shangguan Qian.

Gong Yunzheng did not get involved in these things at all. She walked into the file room of the Elders' Council again, looked at the vast sea of files, and patiently began to look for what she wanted to know.

……

Gong Yunzheng stayed in the file room all day long. Even when Gong Huanyu was found out of the ancestral hall in the back mountain and imprisoned by Ming Wuji, and even when he was lying in the clinic with all his martial arts skills lost, she was not disturbed to go and check.

Ming Wuji, whose eyes were blinded by poison and whose vocal cords were ruptured, was discovered to be Wuming. She was sent away by the Elders' Council with a bowl of poison. Before she left, Gong Ziyu stayed by her side.

When he heard this, Gong Yunzheng paused while reading the files.

Wu Feng finally understood the grief in her heart when her parents passed away.

Ten years ago, Ming Wu Ji was at the palace gate. In the secret passage where the women and children of the palace were hiding, she saw Ming Wu Ji guarding Zi Yu with a worried look on her face. At that time, she thought Ming Wu Ji was sincere to Gong Zi Yu, but thinking about it now, she only felt irony.

Even if a person without a sharp edge gives all his heart to someone, in the end all he gets is death watched coldly by others.

It was not until two days before the war with Wufeng that Gong Yunzheng finally discovered a clue from the files. She found the truth she had always wanted to know and completely resolved Wufeng's doubts in her heart.

When she opened the door and walked out of the elders' house, she found that she had not seen such a clear sky for a long time.

Qinglan saw her coming out and walked over to her and said, "Yun Weishan has left the palace, and everyone in the palace is preparing for Master Yu's sword-wielding ceremony."

Then, Qinglan whispered, "I'm afraid Wufeng is ready too."

Gong Yunzheng responded and asked, "Where's Shangguan Qian?"

"In the Corner Palace." Qing Lan answered, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Do we need to get rid of her in advance?"

Gong Yunzheng stopped him: "There's no need to alert the enemy."

The night before the sword ceremony was held at the palace gate.

Gong Yuanzheng knocked on his sister's door and said, "Sister, tomorrow you go to Yu Palace to find Gong Zishang. Jin Fan will escort you to Yue Palace to avoid Wu Feng."

"Yes." Gong Yunzheng nodded in agreement.

Gong Yuanzheng said, "Then you should have a good rest tonight."

"Yuanzheng." Seeing his brother turning to leave, Gong Yunzheng called out to him, "Even though it's spring, you're still wearing too little."

Hearing his sister's concern, the boy smiled, his eyes sparkling: "I'll listen to you, sister. I'll put on more clothes when I get home."

midnight.

Gong Yunzheng took out the pill given by Master Yue, swallowed it, and practiced the martial arts he had already mastered. Suddenly, his entire body's meridians became smooth, and his majestic inner body appeared.

Big beads of sweat appeared on his fair forehead. After an unknown amount of time, Gong Yunzheng opened his eyes and felt his body filled with internal energy.

A hundred years of internal energy appeared in the body.

Gong Yunzheng pushed open the door and walked up to his brother who was still studying hidden weapons.

Gong Yuanzheng stood up doubtfully: "Sister..."

Just as he started to speak, his expression and body suddenly froze, and he was in disbelief as Gong Yunzheng pressed his sleeping point.

Placing her brother on the small couch, Gong Yunzheng asked Qinglan who appeared behind her, "Are you all right?"

"Alright." Qing Lan handed her a token. "I pressed the acupuncture points on Elder Xue and Elder Hua and sent them to the secret passage at the palace gate. Here are their tokens."

Gong Yunzheng took the token.

With this token, all the guards in the front mountain will obey her orders.

When Gong Yunzheng arrived at Zheng Palace, Gong Shangjiao was wiping his knife.

"Sister Yunzheng?" Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Yunzheng at the door. "It's so late. Are you here because you're worried about Yuanzheng's safety tomorrow?"

"No." Gong Yunzheng shook her head. She walked over and sat down across from Gong Shangjiao. "I want to tell Brother Shangjiao that after tomorrow, we will avenge our father and mother's murder, and we will also avenge our brother Langjiao's. I want Brother Shangjiao to protect Yuanzheng well from now on."

Gong Shangjiao had a hunch that something was wrong, but as soon as he moved, Gong Yunzheng quickly pressed his acupoints.

Gong Shangjiao couldn't break free with his internal force, and suddenly he figured out what had been confusing him for days, but it was too late, and his consciousness quickly fell into a coma.

Gong Yunzheng came to the Yugong cellar.

Before this, Qinglan pressed Gong Ziyu's sleeping point, and Gong Ziyu was transferred to the secret passage at the palace gate.

She walked down to the cellar step by step and saw Gong Huanyu lying on the wooden bed with his back to her, looking decadent.

"Call Brother Yu." Gong Yunzheng said, "There's no need to pretend in front of me, right?"
