hold grudges

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Cenji received a carrier pigeon. He took out the letterhead and wrote a simple line: Prince Xiang has arrived.

Shen Huanming was still teasing the pigeons by the window.

Yu Cenji turned his head, and the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on Shen Huanming's hands. His slender fingers were radiant, caressing the white dove.

He could imagine that the young man he sketched stroke by stroke must be handsome and dignified.

"Who passed the pigeon to you?" Shen Huanming let the pigeon go, and asked Yu Cenji, who had been busy early in the morning.

Yu Cenji came back to his senses, and said slowly, "It's Shouyang, coming from Syl."

"How did he come so fast?"

"It's probably because I'm afraid that I'll find out something." Yu Cenji's expression was solemn, but he was still at a loss up to now, the progress was too slow, and his enemies were all coming.

"What's your relationship with Syl?" Shen Huanming asked.

The atmosphere suddenly changed and became a little awkward. Yu Cenji never thought that Shen Huanming would suddenly ask this.

How about his relationship with Syl?

"We used to be friends, but now we are enemies and not friends."

"What kind of friend? Why do I feel that every time you mention Cong Xier, it's not right?" Shen Huanming observed Yu Cen Ji carefully, he had already discovered it, and kept wanting to ask.

Yu Cenji laughed, and he threw himself towards Shen Huanming, burying his face in Shen Huanming's chest, "He and I are like a bamboo horse."

Shen Huanming couldn't hear it anymore, he supported Yu Cenji's shoulder, but couldn't push it away.No wonder you have to take the initiative to rush over.

Yu Cenji hugged him even tighter, "Oh, I entered the palace at the age of five and served as Cong Sear's accompanying student. After so many years, I've become more distant from him."

"Cong Xier likes you?" Shen Huanming lowered his head, only seeing Yu Cenji's head.Shrink your head tactically, and do it calmly.

"Nonsense." Yu Cenji denied, what the hell?

"Yu Cenji, if you don't explain clearly today." Shen Huanming still pulled him out of his arms, and he held Yu Cenji's face in both hands, "I'm really fed up with the unclear atmosphere between you two."

Yu Cenji continued to laugh, narrowed his eyes before opening his mouth and said: "It really doesn't matter at all, he wants me to help him usurp the throne, I just break up if I don't agree."

The sudden flying vinegar was so sour that Cen Ji's bones were a little soft.

"You didn't lie to me?" Shen Huanming asked again.

"Did you know who that team was yesterday?" Yu Cenji remembered, he was thinking about Xu Sui's words yesterday, and ignored Shen Huanming's familiar words.

"Why are you changing the subject?" Shen Huanming had an expression of reckoning, and he hadn't finished asking.

"I love your jealous look so much." Yu Cenji pinched Shen Huanming's face, took Shen Huanming's hand, and put it on his waist.

Shen Huanming exerted force with his palms and pressed the person towards him, and the two of them pressed their chests together, and the room was even quiet and the communication between the two hearts could be heard.

I really like you.

me too.

"There will be an election in a few days. Cong Syl will definitely go there. I'm afraid we'll be exposed." Yu Cenji's head hurts when he thinks of this, and Cong Sill is the most annoying.

"You still don't want to go, I have to go, Yu Shouyang can't stand it alone."

"You don't like Shouyang?" Yu Cenji felt strange, Shen Huanming had always disliked Yu Shouyang, but this time he offered to help him?

"I'm not a person who doesn't discriminate, Yu Fanfan, can you change your mind about me?"

Yu Cenji looked at that slightly immature and somewhat cool face, and felt that it was a little hot, and he liked it very much in his heart.

"Yes, yes."

Yu Cenji pulled someone out the door, "Look for Aunt Feng and ask about the beggars in the city."

"What does the beggar have to do with this matter?" Shen Huanming couldn't think of it.

"You'll know if you ask." Yu Cenji walked ahead, and when he was about to reach the hall, he let go of Shen Huanming's hand.

"Aunt Feng." Yu Cenji went to Feng Axiang and helped her pick up beans, "Can I ask you something?"

"Hey, tell me." Feng Axiang put down what she was doing, wiped her hands, and poured a cup of tea for Yu Cenji and Shen Huanming.

"We've been here for so long, and we haven't seen a single beggar. Is Yizhou really... so rich?" Yu Cenji decided to ask directly after deliberating for a long time.

Stop beating around the bush, time is running out.

Feng Axiang's face changed, and she shook her head at Yu Cenji, "Don't ask."

"What's the matter, Aunt Feng?" Sensing the change in Feng Axiang, Shen Huanming also asked.

"Who are you guys? If you come to play, I advise you to go back quickly." Feng Axiang is also for their own good, after all, there is another savior who is Xiaoying.

"Aunt Feng, we are not idlers, you can tell us with confidence." Yu Cenji cast a firm gaze on Feng Axiang, trying to make her believe in him.

"The beggars were all captured by the government, and they were going to be bled to get their bones."

Hearing this, Yu Cenji and Shen Huanming looked at each other, they both thought of the bone coffin in the lake, and the dilapidated mansion.

"But why?" Yu Cenji asked.

"For...for the treasure map." Feng Axiang hesitated to speak, her eyes dodged, and she poured herself a cup of tea to cover up.

Seeing Feng Axiang like this, Yu Cenji slowed down and didn't rush to speak.

"Aunt Feng, can you go into more detail?" Shen Huanming continued to ask.

"When the blood moon is complete, there is only a moment when the bones emerge and human blood awakens the treasure map. In that moment, finding the right person is equivalent to finding the key to open the treasure map."

"Blood moon?" Yu Cenji and Shen Huanming asked in unison.

Feng Axiang's complexion was not good, she just nodded.

Why did Feng Axiang know so much?Yu Cenji remembered this matter and did not continue to ask any further questions. When he and Shen Huanming came out from Feng Axiang's place, they also saw Feng Xiaoying who was catching butterflies in the courtyard.

It was rare for the little girl to not cling to others, and she played on her own.

"Yu Fanfan, Xiaoying, she..." Shen Huanming also became hesitant.

"Huh? What's wrong with her?" Yu Cenji was going to block Xu Sui now, and when Shen Huanming mentioned Feng Xiaoying, he thought he was going to stay and play with Xiaoying.

"It's nothing." Shen Huanming shook his head, and followed Yu Cenji out the door.

Xu Sui was actually easy to find, just like Yu Cenji didn't expect that they would run into Xu Sui whenever they went to a small teahouse.

Xu Sui caught a glimpse of Yu Cenji from the corner of his eye, like a mouse seeing a cat, he stopped him before he could run away.

"Stop." Yu Cenji blocked Xu Sui, and pushed him back to the table.

"What are you guys going to do?" Xu Sui was a little terrified, he looked at Shen Huanming with some fear, and thought about it in his heart, he couldn't beat, he couldn't run, he was dead.

"Xu Sui, who is your old friend? If you don't finish speaking this time, I will pull out your tongue." Yu Cenji threatened.

Shen Huanming was standing next to Yu Cen Ji, looking at the aggressive Yu Cen Ji, he still felt a little fresh.

Xu Sui looked embarrassed, his face was wrinkled, his mouth was opening and closing, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Say!" Shen Huanming called out his sword and thrust it into the table in front of Xu Sui, Xu Sui backed away in fright.

"Yes, it's Cao Zhi." Xu Sui didn't feel relieved after speaking, his face was sullen, as if he was about to cry.

How could he say Cao Zhi's name, how could he make Cao Zhi feel uneasy after death, he was really...really useless.

"Who is Cao Zhi?" Yu Cenji had never felt that he was like today, he only knew how to ask questions without summarizing.

"Yes, he's a carpenter." When Xu Sui mentioned Cao Zhi, he seemed to have gained courage from the name, so he stopped shaking.

"Can you finish your sentence, don't we always ask you a question?" Shen Huanming was a little impatient, always asking them to ask, did Xu Sui do it on purpose, trying to distract them so that they could escape?

"Cao Zhita, he is Cao Jie's younger brother."

Yu Cenji frowned, Cao Jie?

"Actually, I am a yam essence. I stayed in the deep mountains and didn't know the world. It was Cao Zhi who saved me." Xu Sui talked about his memories with a peaceful face.

At that time, he had just become a spirit monster, only had spiritual consciousness, and could not transform himself yet.

He stayed in the deep mountains and old forests, and he was quite satisfied.

Then one day a ring-tailed lemur came by his side and tried to pull him out.He hadn't left the soil yet, so he immediately cried out in fear.

Cao Zhi actually heard it, he rushed over, drove away the ring-tailed lemur, carefully pressed Xu Sui back into the soil, and talked to him.

"Don't be afraid, that monkey is playing a game of pulling seedlings with you." Cao Zhi's voice was soft, with the crispness of a boy. He dug out a small flower from the basket behind him, and buried it beside Xu Sui. .

"I arranged for Xiaohua to accompany you, it will protect you, and you can grow up healthily."

Xu Sui looked at the human being in front of him curiously, thinking that he smelled so good.

Cao Zhi buried the little flower, patted his muddy hands, and bid farewell to Xu Sui.

Perhaps Xu Sui was too concerned about the humans who had saved him, so he successfully transformed into form the next day.

The first thing he did when he took shape was to find Cao Zhi, his savior.

Cao Zhi is easy to find, and he often comes to the mountains to collect materials.It turned out that Cao Zhi was a carpenter.

Xu Sui went to get close to Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi was very close, he didn't have a heart, he only regarded it as a relationship between his peers, and got along well with him.

Until something happened to Cao Zhi, he was captured by the government and beheaded.

On the day Cao Zhi was executed, it rained heavily, and countless rains did not wash away the blood left by Cao Zhi, as if it had been carved on the land.

"Why was Cao Zhi sentenced by the government?" Yu Cenji interrupted Xu Sui who was recalling. If Cao Zhi is Cao Jie's younger brother, then is it because Cao Jie wanted to avenge his younger brother...

"Because Cao Zhi is too stupid, he is too upright, he picked up half of the treasure map that day, and said he was going to hand it over to the government, but Liu Ke couldn't find the complete treasure map himself, so he went to force Cao Zhi to die. Cao Zhi obviously doesn’t know anything! I told him everything, don’t take out the treasure map, he won’t listen to me!” Xu Sui became more and more excited as he spoke, and the high volume caused many people to look at him On their side, he calmed down.

"Then why did you draw that treasure map that leads people into the lake?" Yu Cen Ji got to the point.

"Because I want to remind Liu Ke! I will expose his crimes to the world, and I want him to make amends to the dead Cao Zhi." Xu Sui gritted his teeth, not at all like that unreliable boy who was joking and joking.

"But where is the treasure map of the other half?"
