In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Although everyone in Yunjin regarded women's lives as worthless, it was still a bit shocking to hear someone say such words so loudly.

The man in front of him was dressed like a rich young man, but he didn't look very smart. Yet he could say such words. The Taoist priest didn't seem to be expressing his opinion, but rather trying to please some people.

Before Xu Qingyin could say anything, he saw someone suddenly punch him in the face.

"What are you talking about? My lady is not the kind of person you are talking about!"

When Xu Qingyin saw this man, she felt that he looked familiar. After thinking carefully, she realized that this was the servant of the family they saw last night. He was able to speak up for his young lady in the attic, a place they knew was very dangerous because they were born and raised there. This was enough to show that the young princess's cousin was very concerned about the servants.

But he was clearly just a servant, yet he dared to punch the man in front of him. This was the greatest insult to such a nobleman.

If he didn't fight back today, or teach the servant in front of him a lesson, he was afraid he would not be able to live in this place.

"Who the hell are you? You dare to hit me? Do you know who I am? My cousin works under the imperial concubine!"

No matter what, the servant in front of him was just a handyman after all, and his body was rather thin. When he heard what he said, he panicked a little, his legs trembling, but he still kept on talking:

"Even if you work under the Imperial Concubine, what's the point? You say these words to insult my young lady. You are not a good person! You dress like a decent person, but you slander the innocence of other girls behind their backs!"

Seeing that the two men were about to fight, before Xu Qingyin could remind him, Prince Jing had already stood up from his seat and stood beside the servant.

Everyone is familiar with the demeanor of His Royal Highness Prince Jing. After all, when he came back from the north, people from the entire capital flocked to the center of the capital just to see him, so they could recognize him at a glance.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, you are here. Please judge for yourself. He is just a servant. How dare he hit me?"

The prince in front of him had a swollen face from being beaten, and he stretched his neck with a ferocious look on his face.

"Why would you criticize and gossip in front of others?"

He never expected that His Royal Highness Prince Jing, a member of the royal family, would not speak up for him, a noble.

Although His Royal Highness Prince Jing is not on the side of the First and Second Princes, he still has to make friends with them for the sake of his future life.

But he didn't expect that he would have a conflict with himself because of a small servant. He was so angry that his face turned green, but he couldn't say anything.

Suddenly someone came to the door.

Xu Qingyin turned her head and saw that it was Lu Wei.

He was acting the same way again, with a green dragon jade carved with obsidian hanging around his waist. Even though the weather wasn't that hot anymore, he still looked down on everything and fanned himself with a fan.

The clothes she wore were all of the best quality in the capital, and it was obvious that the imperial concubine had made serious plans for her two sons.

Since the government affairs of the capital have always been handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lu Wei often comes to the outskirts of the capital on weekdays. This is really his usual behavior. He has almost turned this place into a bandit circle.

"Oh, I didn't expect to run into Third Brother here. I hope you are all right."

He looked at the two people in front of him with a fake smile. When he saw Xu Qingyin, he took a few more glances and then suddenly sneered:

"Miss Xu is wandering around here every day in men's clothes, and even hanging out with His Royal Highness Prince Jing. Doesn't she plan to get married in the future?"

Xu Qingyin didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, and was recognized at a glance that she was dressed as a man. She felt a little embarrassed.

"You haven't even bothered to ask me, your second brother, to come play for you in such a long time. You actually came to my place without even saying hello. Look how derelict I am as a host."

When the prince and noble saw Lu Wei, he felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and told him everything that had just happened.

"He's just a small servant. If he dared to hit you, then just kill him. Is there any reason for that? Why are you being so soft-hearted?"

When Lu Wei said this, it was as if he was teaching him that if he was bitten by a mosquito, he could just take a picture of it himself and there was no need to report it to him.

"But His Royal Highness Prince Jing said that it was all my fault for stirring up trouble here."

After saying this, Lu Wei turned his gaze to Lu Yan.

"Look, I've been a big brother for such a long time, and I haven't even had the chance to properly congratulate my little brother on becoming the Prince of Jing. Since my little brother says no, then I'll listen to you."

After he finished speaking, no one could see what kind of smile was on his face. He then made a gesture to the people behind him and pointed at the prince in front of him.

A look of terror, almost like seeing the god of death, appeared on his face, and he immediately began to roar:

"No, no, Second Prince, I'm doing this for you. How can you take my life so easily? I'm so loyal to you."

The sound spread farther and farther, and Xu Qingyin became curious:

"Where did you take him?"

"If there's a conflict in my attic, one of them must die. If both of them make me unhappy, they both die. Since Your Highness Prince Jing pleaded for this servant today, he's the one who will die."

All of a sudden, Xu Qingyin got goose bumps all over her body.

Lu Yan didn't want to say anything. After all, the person who had just been dragged away was Lu Wei's subordinate. If he even interfered in this matter, he would be meddling too much.

In the chaos, Xu Qingyin went back at night, but she still forced herself to be alert and not let herself be afraid and not think carefully about the reason behind it.

She suddenly realized what he meant by "for the Second Prince".

Today, he was the first to say that the person who was raped and murdered was a good person, for the sake of the Second Prince...

"Do you think the man who raped and murdered the young princess's cousin is related to the Second Prince?"

Lu Yan neither nodded nor shook his head:

"These things are hard to figure out, so we'd better not jump to conclusions yet. However, according to legend, there are two familiar places where corpses are dumped, namely the Valley of Returning Souls and the River of Forgetfulness."

Hearing Lu Yan say this, Xu Qingyin felt like her soul was about to come out.

Why such a sinister name...

The next morning, when the two of them arrived, Xu Qingyin was completely speechless.

This really isn't the right name. The underworld is a very dark place...
