outside the imperial city

"Hahahahahaha," Liu Hongyun laughed loudly, "I really deserve to be Prince Li's favorite minister. With such a little information, I guessed it word for word, so good!"

Yao Fanglan put on a show and made a bow: "Miss Liu, thank you."

"Then, why don't you just sue the incompetent old emperor, but come to me and show off yourself?"

Hearing that she insulted Emperor Shaoxuan, Jing Lingshuo was furious and wanted to draw his sword again: "You!"

Yao Fanglan stopped him again: "As I said earlier, there is no evidence. Besides, I haven't figured out some things. For example, the issue of official documents."

Yes, document.Jing Yanshuo calmed down all of a sudden.When they were on the mountain, they obviously didn't know that he had such an official document on him, otherwise they would have sent bandits to snatch it away.But in just three days, how did you know?

"The reason why I know you have official documents is all because of that lord's cleverness." Liu Hongyun folded her hands on her heart, smiling admiringly.

Jing Lishuo asked: "Who is that lord?"

"Sorry, I don't know that person's true identity and appearance. I only know that he is a god-like figure who brought me from the darkness to this world, like this round of red sun." Liu Hong Yun opened his arms towards the sun, then withdrew his arms, and gave Yao Fanglan a malicious look, "But Mr. Yao seems to know who it is."

Jing Shuo looked back at Yao Fanglan.The latter opened his mouth, but didn't make any syllables, just shook his head.

Don't know, still can't say, or, don't want to say?

Jing Lishuo stared at him for a few moments, and then said to Liu Hongyun, "Are you just working your life for someone you've never met?"

"Oh," Yao Fanglan finally made a sound, "What she sold was not her own life, she obviously sold the lives of those innocent people, even the girls who regarded themselves as their mothers."

A picture came to my mind, it was a scene of several pretty girls laughing and rushing towards him.Having grown up in a brothel since childhood, I naturally know how terrible and dark a quagmire it is.The moment she was redeemed from the brothel by that adult, she made up her mind that even if she wanted to open a brothel, she would let the women who were forced to come here live with dignity.If she doesn't want to receive guests, she won't pick up guests, if she doesn't want to sell her body, she won't sell her body... She did it, but it was such a dream city that was burned by her own hands, and there were dozens of young girls in it.

These words obviously hit Liu Hongyun's sore spot, and her face became extremely ferocious for a moment.She clapped her hands, and the family brought a carved jade plate with two small blue and white porcelain vases on it.

"Yao Zanglan, for the sake of your guessing so accurately, I will help you solve the two difficult situations." Liu Hongyun said, "Here are two small bottles, one contains a good Tieguanyin, and the other contains a good Tieguanyin. Hedinghong, each of you can choose a bottle to drink. Of course, it’s okay if someone wants to drink both bottles.”

"It means that one of us must die?" Jing Yanshuo carefully studied Yao Fanglan's expression and asked.

"That's right," Liu Hongyun said, "In order to be fair to the lord, we specially chose the colorless and odorless Crane Crown Red. Even a master doctor like Yao Fanglan can't do much?"

Yao Fanglan was surprisingly calm, but there was a thin layer of cold sweat oozing from the forehead: "Is this, your 'sir' told you to do this?"

Liu Hongyun smiled and said, "Naturally."

Jing Lishuo took a few glances at Yao Fanglan, saw his face getting whiter and paler, and wondered if this person would be afraid of death, and slowly drew out the Wuhen sword: "Forget it, you forced me. The crime of exposure, after going back Let me take it on myself. If it’s a big deal, I’ll be dismissed from my job and ransacked my home and received a few whips, so I won’t die.”

"I didn't expect you to protect him so much, my lord," Liu Hongyun said, "Shouldn't you be mortal enemies?"

"Who says I'm protecting him? If it's as you said, don't I have half the chance to meet Hades?" Jing Lingshuo waved his sword and pointed behind him, intending to let Yao Fanglan hide behind him, "And if he I can't bear the Holy Majesty's pursuit of responsibility after death."

Yao Fanglan smiled when he heard the words, and the blood returned to his face.He has always been like this, changing his face like flipping a book, but this time, no matter how he looks at it, Jing Lisuo feels a bit forced.

"Miss Liu, do you keep your word? If we drink these two bottles, will you let us go?"

"Yao Fanglan, you..." Jing Lingshuo suddenly felt a little flustered.Could it be that he found a way to identify it and wanted to drink the bottle of poison himself?

"Naturally." Liu Hongyun replied.

"Okay." Yao Zanglan didn't wait for Jing Yanshuo's objection, walked quickly to the servant, picked up the two vials on the jade plate, took off the lids, and poured them into her mouth together.

"It's really good tea." After pouring, he boldly threw down two blue and white porcelain bottles, and wiped his mouth casually.

"You..." Liu Hongyun was about to speak, but saw a touch of gold piercing the wind, piercing directly into his chest.

It was her "daughters" bun.

Jing Lingshuo lowered his eyes: "I avenged them."

"You—" Since you want to kill, what's the point of drinking the poison yourself?Yao Zanglan frowned and was about to explode, but Jing Lishuo stepped forward and hugged him horizontally, Yao Zanglan was dumbfounded for a moment.

Jing Lingshuo tapped his toes, jumped up and flew out of the courtyard.Yao Zanglan looked down, the courtyard door was forced open, and people from the government filed in one after another.

And the person in Jinyi who is the leader happens to be Ye Chengwei, the prime minister who has only been in office for a few days!

"When did you...?" He moved so fast that Yao Fanglan had to hug his neck tightly.

"Don't talk, I'll take you back right away. As long as you go back, you'll have medicine, right? Just keep going!"

"Wait, wait, wait," Yao Fanglan rolled over and fell to the ground, "I'm not poisoned at all, you can see clearly."

Jing Lingshuo stopped, saw him standing still, looked him up and down with scrutiny, and then calmed down: "Did you drink the poison?"

"No." Yao Fanglan said firmly.

Jing Ling Shuo Ruifeng narrowed his eyes: "It's a lie."

He was so sure that Yao Fanglan couldn't refute it.Jing Lingshuo sat down on the spot, and smiled evilly: "Alright, since that's the case, let's talk about it."

"Brother, this is the roof, are you sure?" Yao Fanglan panicked.Just now you were so nervous about my life and death, now let me sit in this kind of place?

"Oh," Jing Lingshuo pulled the sheathed Wuhen out of his belt, put it beside him, and said in a threatening low voice, "I believe there are people who can fly out of the window in the middle of the night and are confident that they won't let me hear them." People with light skills can still sit still."

"..."

"You really know." Yao Fanglan said, and sat down as promised, "I still underestimated you."

"Yao Fanglan, I'll ask you a few questions next, and you can choose not to answer them," Jing Lingshuo acted like a private school teacher educating a child, "but as long as you choose to answer, I hope to hear the truth."

Yao Zanglan looked at Jing Lishuo, thought for a while, and said, "Okay."

"First question, do you know who Liu Hongyun is referring to as 'that lord'?"

"know."

"But you don't want to tell me."

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I said it but you won't believe it, my lord." Yao Zonglan said calmly, as if Jing Lingshuo knew it had nothing to do with him, "I have no proof."

"..."

Maybe so.Jing Shuo sighed, "You drank the poison just now, but you're fine."

"..."

Jing Shuo waited for a few seconds, but before receiving a response, he asked again, "Why?"

"..."

Still did not get a response, Jing Shuo stood up: "I don't force you to answer. I ask this question, there is no other meaning. It's just that if we still have to walk through the remaining nine cities together, that reason can help We're better at handling incidents and protecting each other."

"On the matter of not letting the other party die, I think we have reached an agreement." Jing Lingshuo put away Wuhen, "Besides that..."

In addition, even if we have just experienced life and death together, you are still you, I am still me, and we are still standing on both sides of the line.

"Yes." Yao Fanglan replied.

Actually, you didn't tell me when you called Ye Chengwei, did you?

In the southwestern corner of the city, there was unprecedented hustle and bustle.Prime Minister Nai Yun leapfrogged his ranks and personally led 200 imperial guards, confiscating the million taels of gold that the Liu family had obtained through bandits.The head of the Liu family, Liu Hongyun, was executed on the spot, and all the family members served four years in prison before being exiled to the frontier.During the investigation, it was discovered that the Ji family of the dynasty and the royal family were hiding in the mountains of Anliang, and they were executed immediately.Prince Bei Qianxiang was relegated to Qin King because of his poor management of Anliang, and since then he has stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Wang Bei Qianling.

"That's right, this is how you handled this matter." Jing Junxi, who had been in a coma for many days, finally woke up, and said after listening to the brief narrative of the two.

"You should be very happy now." Jing Yanshuo sat on the window and raised his foot, "Bei Qianxiang was demoted to the Qin King, and now we are at the same height. I really didn't expect him to manage it like this." The city under his command."

"Where." Yao Fanglan was changing Jing Junxi's medicine without raising his head, "This time, we all lost."

Both of them fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive and awkward.

Jing Junxi said, "Master."

Jing Lingshuo was stunned for a moment, before responding: "Huh?"

"It's impossible for me not to hate you. You have the blood debt of my family." Yao Fanglan finished administering Jing Junxi's medicine, and stepped aside.Jing Junxi put on his coat and walked up to Jing Shuo.

"I know."

The wind blew his black hair slightly, and his heroic spirit spread out, making him appear flamboyant and unruly.

"However, I am also very grateful to you. You saved me and gave me this name; you are willing to accept me as a disciple and make me stronger. My life must start again from now on."

Jing Junxi knelt down to Jing Yushuo: "Master, accept my worship!"

He was not healed from his injuries, but neither of them stopped him.The young man knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, his voice was trembling, but he was extremely firm: "This will be the last time I cry in this life. I want to be a man who stands up to the heavens and the earth, and live to let my parents, uncle, aunt, brothers and sisters live. All proud of me!"

"Seeing that you are not addicted to revenge, I feel relieved." Jing Shuo jumped down from the window, helped Jing Junxi up, and wiped away his tears for him, "But when you should cry, you still have to cry. Cry It's not a sign of cowardice, crying is for laughing better and more happily next time."

"Junxi," Yao Fanglan walked to the front, "I have a share in your life. If you want, I will teach you what I have learned all my life. How about it?"

Both of them were taken aback.Jing Junxi asked, "Why?"

Yao Fanglan smiled without saying a word.The door of the room was knocked open suddenly, Jing Junshuo guarded Jing Junxi vigilantly, and pulled out without a trace.

"I'm sorry to disturb the happy scene of your family."

"Who is this guy in the same family?" Jing Yanshuo and Yao Zanglan said in unison.

The person who came took off the hood: "King Jinyuan, Mr. Yao, I'm sorry for the trouble, Ye Chengwei."
