Toad Palace Spring and Autumn

The next day, the sky was not clear.Wen Chuqing and Ruan Kongqi arrived outside the Danxia Palace early, and the waiter with the knife dared not neglect them, so they led them inside.Walking to the steps of the sleeping hall, just in time the maid who was watching the night came out yawning and pushing the door, her face was very haggard.The waiter was familiar with her, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yingying, go in quickly and send a message, Master Wen and Terrace Ruan are asking to see you."

The maid named Huan Yingying cheered up and said: "The palace master just fell asleep, I'm afraid she hasn't woken up yet."

Wen Chuqing frowned imperceptibly, but said nothing.It was Ruan Kongqi who asked, "Why, the Palace Master wasn't there last night?"

Yingying nodded.Ruan Kongqi asked again: "Do you know where he went?"

"I don't know. But the palace lord will return at Yinshi today, and...and..."

Seeing that she hesitated to speak, the waiter couldn't help asking curiously, "And what?"

Yingying looked around, making sure there was no one else, then lowered her voice: "When the palace lord came back, her clothes were disheveled, like... like..." After thinking for a long time, she couldn't find a suitable word to describe it, and finally She gave up, and continued, "By the way, there is Shijiu who came back with him. He looked even worse. He didn't even have any clothes on him. I was shocked."

Ruan Kongqi and Wen Chuqing looked at each other in disbelief.

"If the two adults are in a hurry, the servants will go in and pass it on. I can't guarantee the result."

"Well, it's work."

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Yingying to turn back the same way excitedly, "The palace master is awake, you two come with me."

After entering the bedroom, you will soon reach the front hall.Yue Yinlin was sitting on the couch, leaning on the desk with his elbows closed and dozing off.In the mist, he heard footsteps on the corridor, and knew that someone was coming, so he opened his eyes slowly.

"This subordinate has seen the Palace Master."

Wen Chuqing lowered her head, and as far as she could see, she could only see Yue Yinlin's long coat neatly covering her fine white boots, which was as clean and elegant as usual, without the slightest mess, and she felt at ease.

Ruan Kongqi on the side has already begun to report back on yesterday's follow-up, and finally said: "The subordinates led the people to trace all the way down the mountain, and met another group of people who came to meet them. They were all masked in black and came prepared. The brothers are outnumbered and trapped. It is difficult to win the battle for a long time, so we have to withdraw first and then make plans."

After Yue Yinlin heard this, a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes, "In this way, Master Ruan has gained nothing?"

Ruan Kongqi's complexion changed slightly, Wen Chuqing saw this, stepped forward and said, "Palace Master calm down. Although there is no direct evidence, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion after looking at the previous events."

"What's the great opinion of Palace Master Wen, you might as well tell me and listen to it."

"The previous Xiling dungeon incident was no accident. Now we know that the mastermind behind the scenes is Baili Yunxiao. Since the dungeon did not trap him, he pretended to surrender and hid for a long time. Presumably he is already familiar with the terrain of the mountain, and he is also familiar with the Toad Palace lineage. I know it well. If this person wants to take advantage of the internal strife and chaos to save someone, it must be an easy task. I mentioned the list of missing death row prisoners before, and Lu Changqing, the owner of Chuxiu Villa, is very likely to be among them."

What Wen Chuqing said made sense.Yue Yinlin said lightly: "Continue."

"What's more, before Ning Huaishang led the crowd to attack the mountain, the palace lord hadn't come out of seclusion, so the timing was very subtle. This move seemed unintentional at the time, but now that I think about it, although Ning Huaishang and Baili Yunxiao get together less often , but after all, they come from the same family, and Baili Yunxiao is a man who is sophisticated and has been preparing for a long time, so it is not ruled out that the two of them may cooperate with each other." Wen Chuqing paused, and then said, "In short, the news released by the palace lord is The public execution in Youfengling, the Central Plains Righteous Way cannot be indifferent. The same group of people who robbed prisoners on the mountain yesterday and intercepted Ruan brother at the foot of the mountain, if the subordinates guessed correctly, those people should be the martial arts headed by Ning Huaishang and Lu Changqing person."

Yue Yinlin shook his head and said, "Even if Baili Yunxiao can endure what ordinary people can't, it's impossible for him to be so powerful. What's more, Ning Huaishang was defeated by you, and he promised to retire from the world. Everyone in the world knows about it. Thinking of him as a hero, he will never break his promise easily."

Wen Chuqing laughed when he heard the words: "Perhaps my subordinates judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. But as the saying goes, those who make big things don't care about small details, let alone people who can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Today, even Ning Huai It's not surprising that Shang broke his promise."

Ruan Kongqi didn't hear what the two said after that.The beauty on the couch is dressed in white, her face is world-renowned.He stared silently, clenched and loosened his fists, the nerves in his body tensed——

In terms of beauty and power, if the person in front of you is called the second, no one dares to be the first.I want to say that I don't care at all, but what's the matter with this sour mood?Brother has always been kind to others, but not everyone can have a happy conversation.That man is the palace master, but he is cold by nature, with so many people in Toad Palace, the only one who can please him is his senior brother.I tried my best to convince myself not to think too much, but every time I saw them getting along like no one else, the resentment and unwillingness in my heart gushed out uncontrollably.The voices of the conversation in my ears suddenly became noisy, almost covering the beating heartbeat.Compared with the familiarity and tacit understanding of the two people around you asking and answering, on the contrary, it shows that my silence is so deliberate——

Just when Ruan Kongqi gradually lost her mind, Xia Chan's cry came from outside the hall, each high-pitched and long-lasting.The sudden sourness and pain just now was as vague as a dream.

Suddenly, he heard Yue Yinlin say in an indifferent tone: "Give me an order, within ten days, the Chuxiu Villa will be bloodbathed. Anyone who stands in the way will be killed without mercy."

When the news spread, Chuxiu Villa seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

After investigation, everything was exactly as Wen Chuqing expected.Lu Changqing has indeed returned to the villa. The group of people who were robbed from Youfengling were protected by him and wanted to go back to their respective factions. This time, they heard the shocking news that the Toad Palace was about to wash the villa with blood. Most of them volunteered and vowed to stay at the villa to fight against the cult .For several days in succession, relevant people in the martial arts circle gathered inside and outside the villa, and everyone was ready to fight.

It was night, and the Danxia Palace was brightly lit.Yue Yinlin put down the scriptures in his hand and wanted to find Nineteen, but he called a few times and no one answered, but when the maid on duty heard the door and came in, she bowed low and said: "Nineteen has gone back to the kitchen to rest, do you want to send him over? "

Hearing what she said, Yue Yinlin was a little unhappy and said: "Didn't I ask someone to clean up a room nearby for him to rest, why do I have to go back to the kitchen to sleep?"

"Palace Master, the nineteenth salute has not been moved here, so I have to go back every two days."

"Okay, you go down."

After speaking, Yue Yinlin got up from his seat, put on a casual coat and went out.

Danxia Palace is divided into East and West gardens.Dongyuan is the palace lord's bedroom, and most of the palace attendants live in Xiyuan. Among them, the kitchen ranks the lowest, and a room can accommodate up to four people.There is a small courtyard in front of the kitchen, with a hundred-year-old tree planted in it, and stone tables and benches under the tree. On a fine day, a few rough men gather together to drink wine and comment on the beautiful maids next door. Life is also leisurely.It's just that after the guy named Nineteen came, life was different.

At first he was sloppy and didn't like to talk. Everyone thought he was a fool and tried to bully him.Unexpectedly, that guy was promoted by the palace lord to be a personal bodyguard in a short period of time, and when he came back, he changed his attire and turned into a different person.The waitresses, who always had their eyes high above the top, suddenly changed their attitudes like a fish seeing a cat, and ran to the kitchen all day long.At the beginning, some people were still dissatisfied, but although the nineteenth usually ran all over the mountain with the palace master without even seeing a shadow, when he returned to the kitchen at night to do things, he was unambiguous. Everyone knew that he was a good person, so naturally no one would run on him again.

It was midnight when Yue Yinlin arrived at Xiyuan, most of the people had already fallen asleep, and the small Xingyuan was quiet.As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a person lying wantonly lying under a towering tree, looking up at the bright moon in the sky. The clothes were not as casual as usual, but the plain clothes with simple patterns unexpectedly looked slender and uncommon. There was a strong smell in the air. booze.

Sensing someone, Nineteen suddenly turned over and sat up, turned around and saw that it was Yue Yinlin, he was stunned for a moment and did not respond.

Yue Yinlin took a special look at the wine jar beside him, and asked lightly, "Drinking alone?"

Nineteen didn't make a sound, just looked at him without turning for a moment, and after a while, he stretched out his hand forward, as if trying to grab something.Yue Yinlin frowned, and took a step back calmly.The outstretched hand stopped in the air awkwardly, but the person came to his senses, turned his head and said, "I thought I was dreaming."
