Jiang Xiyue felt uneasy and raised the delicate white porcelain cup in her hand but had no intention of drinking tea. She rarely went out, and there were only a few things in Kyoto. When she was young, she had already played all over it.

Time has passed and things have changed. When Jiang Xiyue looked at the scenery here again, she felt that it was not as vivid as before.

Everyone in Kyoto knows that there is a Princess Chu hidden in the Chu Palace. She is the most beautiful woman in the Chu Dynasty. Unfortunately, few people have seen the face of the mysterious princess, and few even know her name.

.

It’s just that everyone envied the King of Chu, and they also liked the story about King Xiang, the goddess, the hero and the beauty. They only regretted that the hero was not him, and the so-called beauty was not in his arms.

"Small slave, go and see why the Crown Prince hasn't come back yet." Jiang Xiyue ordered. Her heart was clenching. After Xiang Jinghao walked out, Jiang Xiyue felt a little flustered for no reason.

Xiaonu has been with Jiang Xiyue for a long time and knows the master's temperament. "Madam, don't worry, no one in Kyoto can bully His Highness. I'm afraid that His Highness may encounter some interesting things on the way and delay him. Xiaonu

Let’s go and have a look now.”

Jiang Xiyue's eyes still fell on Weiming Lake in the east.

…

Xiang Jinghao has never been humiliated by being slapped.

"you!"

Snapped!

Another slap, but the left and right sides of the cheek were extremely symmetrical.

"You're scared!" Yu Zhi said firmly with a sullen face, "Your face is stiff, you are obviously scared."

Guys who are tough-talking always have to suffer a little.

Yu Zhi pressed a hand on Xiang Jinghao's chest. The strong force made Xiang Jinghao dare not move, because Xiang Jinghao was no longer sure whether Yu Zhi really did not dare to kill him.

This guy is more ruthless than Ye Qinghuan!

Xiang Jinghao realized this. The guy who opposed him in Honglu Temple was no weaker than Ye Qinghuan. Compared with Ye Qinghuan's gorgeous swordsmanship that defeated him, Yu Zhi's simple and crude methods at this moment made him feel even more humiliated.

.

The only thing that gave Xiang Jinghao some comfort was that Yu Zhi was at least stained with blood.

But, how does this matter?

This is the thought only losers have.

"You still think I don't dare to kill you?" Yu Zhi's smiling face was like a poisonous snake spitting out scarlet snakebites, which made people tremble. The dagger scratched Xiang Jinghao's chest, and the blade was between the ribs, which is also the position.

Where Yu Zhi is bleeding.

The touch of cold iron made Xiang Jinghao's hair stand on end. He was also a human being and knew what fear was.

Xiang Jinghao kept silent.

Yu Zhi smiled softly, like a general returning from victory. He won.

"Are you thinking now that I will let you go?" Yu Zhi looked at Xiang Jinghao sincerely and said as if talking to himself, "It's just a fourth-grade armor-breaking, and you want to take over life and death just because you are the heir apparent of the Prince of Chu's Palace.

, are you looking down on me too much? At any rate, my reputation was much greater than yours."

While Yu Zhi was recalling the "turbulent years" of "The Shame of Asking", he gently pressed the end of the dagger with his palm. The dagger was standing on Xiang Jinghao's chest, and the sharp edge penetrated half of it.

It doesn't hurt.

After all, this dagger is very sharp.

But Xiang Jinghao felt very humiliated. This was what Xiang Jinghao could not bear.

Is he really going to kill me?

Xiang Jinghao stared at Yu Zhi's eyes, trying to find an answer from those smiling eyes.

"Don't you dare kill me!"

Xiang Jinghao roared suddenly. In the moment he thought he was between life and death, he was sure of one more thing.

Yu Zhi did not deny it, put away the dagger, spread his hands and said: "Indeed. Because you have a good father. Because you were born in the Prince of Chu's palace, even this little coachman dared to whip me, an official of the imperial court. Of course, I have always felt that beating

People are wrong, no matter who they hit."

With that said, Yu Zhi withdrew his foot from stepping on Xiang Jinghao.

"You know, I'm not one to swallow my anger."

Xiang Jinghao jumped up and punched Yu Zhi in the face.

This was something Yu Zhi didn't expect. At the critical moment, he also punched out, and the wind of the fist spurted out, and he gave a cold shout. The two of them took a few steps back.

Is it a tie?

Xiang Jinghao's body was still bleeding, and the wound Yu Zhi stabbed with the dagger was not deep, but the constant flow of martial arts energy caused the blood to flow out of his chest.

"It's really helpless. I can't kill him, and I don't want you to bully me." Yu Zhi seemed to be in a dilemma.

Xiang Jinghao nodded, fully agreed with Yu Zhi's statement, and said calmly: "This is fate. I don't have as many scruples as you. If I have the chance, I will kill you."

"I am an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. My position is not high, but I can still be regarded as an official of the imperial court. Doesn't it matter?"

"There are many imperial officials in Dachu. There are unpredictable events in the sky, and some people die every year. It's nothing to make a fuss about."

Yu Zhi thought of the names on the sheepskin file in his arms, shook his head and said firmly: "I won't die!"

"It's not up to you."

The coachman and the shopkeeper of Prince Chu's Mansion looked at the two people talking calmly strangely. Now was indeed the time to show loyalty, but that young man dared to beat His Highness the Crown Prince, let alone himself?

The two regretted not leaving quickly and seeing this scene they shouldn't have seen.

"Prince." The little slave walked into the small alley following the direction pointed by the coachmen and sedan bearers hiding at the entrance of the alley.

Xiang Jinghao's back was turned to Xiao Nu, the coachman was lying on the ground, and the shopkeeper who had just come to call was holding on to the wall and shivering, but directly opposite Xiao Nu was a young man holding a dagger and bleeding from his chest.

What happened?

Because of his position, Xiao Nu only saw Yu Zhi who was in a miserable state.

"Your Majesty, my wife is calling you to go back." Xiaonu forced herself to remain calm. She didn't know what happened, so she only relayed Jiang Xiyue's words to Xiang Jinghao.

Xiang Jinghao didn't turn around and said calmly: "I'll let you go this time."

This was obviously meant for Yu Zhi.

Then he turned to the little slave and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. Don't let mother know about this."

Surprised by the slap marks on Xiang Jinghao's chest and face, Xiao Nu opened his mouth wide and nodded blankly.

When Xiang Jinghao turned his attention to the other two people as if nothing had happened, the shopkeeper and the driver nodded nervously, wishing they could swear to promise not to leak it.

coward!

When Yu Zhi looked at these people, he felt that he had much more backbone.

Xiang Jinghao left. Today he was defeated again, at the hands of two different people. I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune.

The arrogant coachman in Prince Chu's Mansion never dared to look at Yu Zhi again, after all, he might get another severe beating if he looked at him again.

The shopkeeper knew Yu Zhi. Two days ago, this young man came to Baiweiju with the young lady from the Qiu family. However, this young man actually beat the prince of Chu, which was a crime of beheading. The shopkeeper shook his head and did not dare to say anything.

After all, neither the Qiu family nor the Prince of Chu's Palace was anyone he could offend.

The people do not fight with the officials.

Yu Zhi threw away the dagger in his hand and left.

…

Ye Qinghuan returned to Kyoto. A moment after Ye Qinghuan returned to Qiu Mansion, Ye Zhong brought Ye Qinghe to the door.

After getting Yu Zhi's promise, Ye Qinghe didn't want to come to the door again. If it weren't for Qinggu, how could a girl like her be so shameless and rejected.

This time, Qiu Ruoruo, who learned the truth, did not open the door to welcome guests. A mere third-rate sect did not need to let the Qiu family show any shame.

"Dad, let's go back." Ye Qinghe looked at the returned name card in his hand. Kyoto is better than Beiliang Mansion, and the Qinggu Ye family can't offend just any family.

Ye Zhong's expression was also quite ugly. In Beiliang Mansion, no matter how downcast the Qinggu Ye family was, it was still a well-known family, so they would definitely not be shut out, but the Qiu family...

Forget it, my arms can't twist my thighs.

As the son of the Ye family, Ye Zhong reminded himself that no matter how much cold eyes he received at the time of the family's survival, it was worth it. If Ye Qinghuan could be allowed to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, then the status of the Ye family in Qinggu would naturally rise.

However, when Ye Zhong learned that his nephew, who had been abandoned by his family, was not only at the top of the Qingyun Trial Ranking, but was also on good terms with the Qiu family in Kyoto, he had other ideas.

"Qinghe, have you met that young lady from the Qiu family?"

Ye Qinghe is extremely smart. At a young age, she also imitated her elders in the family to support the Qinggu Ye family. She could see her father's intention at a glance. "Dad, it would be great if we could find our younger brother. The Qiu family...

... We can’t reach that high.”

Ye Chong was inevitably disappointed after hearing this, and sighed helplessly: "Yes, if Ye Xiao can return to Beiliang Mansion, not to mention going back to meet the old clapper of Shao Wuhou, just relying on the reputation of being the top of the Qingyun Examination Ranking, he will

Countless sects will come out as olive branches."

"I don't know what's going on over there in Qinggu now." Ye Qinghe said with great worry.

When they set out, the situation in Beiliang Mansion was not good. Marquis Shao Wu lost his only grandson, and the entire Beiliang Mansion was bound to be in turmoil. Will the Ye family, which has been suppressed by Shao Wuhou Mansion, be used as an example now?

Punching bag?

"That Yu Zhi will also go to Beiliang Mansion?"

Ye Qinghe nodded and said: "According to his wishes, Yu Zhi will go with him. And my brother seems to listen to Yu Zhi's words."

Ye Zhong showed a trace of disdain, "What's the shame of asking? Ye Xiao is a member of our Ye family, we can't associate with that kind of people."

Ye Qinghe lowered his head and smiled bitterly, saying no more. Is it too late to admit Ye Qinghuan's identity at this time?

When Yu Zhi returned to Qiu Mansion, he happened to meet this group of people from the Ye family, and even happened to hear the conversation between father and daughter.

Yu Zhi pretended to be nonchalant and walked past the two of them, leaving them stunned. Going to Beiliang Mansion was not only for Ye Qinghuan, but also for the miracle doctor in Beiliang City.

"Master Yu." Ye Qinghe shouted. She always thought that Yu Zhicai was the factor that decided Ye Qinghuan to go to Beiliang Mansion.

Yu Zhi stopped and looked very miserable. The blood on his chest had been blocked, but there were solidified blood stains on his clothes. It was rare in Kyoto to see people dressed like this walking outside.

"When will Mr. Yu plan to go to Beiliang Mansion? The mountains are high and the roads are far away. We can go together and take care of each other."

Yu Zhi glanced at Ye Zhong and his party, and suddenly felt that Ye Qinghe's proposal was good. Someone should take care of someone who travels through mountains and rivers, and the Ye family's motorcade is undoubtedly a good choice.

"You were talking bad about me just now." Yu knew he didn't hold grudges, and he avenged them on the spot. He felt that he was not as tolerant as before. After all, when he asked about the academy, someone pointed at his nose and scolded him.

He also yawned and didn't take it seriously.

Now, Yu Zhi is a person of high status and an official of the imperial court. How can he be insulted? Even if he does it behind his back, he cannot do it openly.

Ye Qinghe opened her mouth but was speechless. This was the fourth time she met Yu Zhi, a young man with a distinctive personality.

"Beiliang Mansion is indeed far away, and there are many bandits and ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests. I really want to save some trouble, but I heard that you don't want to be with me, so let's forget it. I'm also afraid that my identity will tarnish you.

"When Yu Zhi spoke, he stared at Ye Chong. He didn't hate someone mentioning this name. What he hated was Ye Chong's attitude.

When there is something to do, there is no beauty; when there is nothing to do, summer welcomes spring.

"Back then, when Qing Huan was living abroad, we didn't see your Ye family so humbly bringing him back to the Ye family for shelter. Now, how come every member of the Ye family recognizes Ye Qinghuan's identity?"

The sharp words left Ye Qinghe unable to refute, and she also felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous. How could Ye Qinghuan, who had only met a few times since she was a child, put aside her past grudges and work hard for the Ye family.

Ye Chong didn't think so. He came thousands of miles away just for Ye Qinghuan, the hope of the Ye family. The key to the prosperity of the Ye family was Ye Qinghuan.

"Ye Xiao's blood is the blood of our Ye family. He is a member of the Ye family, so he must contribute to the honor and disgrace of the Ye family." Ye Zhong argued.

Hahahahaha!

Yu Zhi laughed loudly, and Yu Zhi was the only one who laughed so frivolously on the entire empty road.

"It's so funny. It's really the funniest joke I've ever heard in just over ten years. Hahaha."

Yu Zhi smiled as if no one was around. What a shameless person.

Ye Chong frowned. He spoke with great authority in Qinggu, but this notorious young man in Kyoto dared to laugh at him.

"You want to hit me?" Yu Zhi stared into Ye Zhong's eyes and noticed a trace of fluctuation in his energy. "You'd better think about it. This is in front of the Qiu Mansion. If Qiu Ruoruo is my best friend, if you dare to attack me

, I guarantee that you and your group will not be able to leave Kyoto!"

What is a threat?

This is the threat!

Who said words are feeble? The so-called feebleness refers to a weak background and low strength.

Yu Zhi finally felt what the coachman in Prince Chu's palace felt. It was a good word to bully others, but he had to be the one to bully others.

After Yu Zhi finished speaking, everyone in the Ye family clenched their fists, especially Ye Chong. However, as Yu Zhi threatened, there was nothing they could do against Yu Zhi in Kyoto.

The two guards at the entrance of Qiu Mansion were already watching with eager eyes. Ye Zhong knew that if they made the slightest move, the two guards with at least level 4 armor breaking would take action.

Not just anyone can serve as a guard of the Qiu family.

"You have a conscience. At least you weren't angry just now." Yu Zhi turned to look at the only lifeless Ye Qinghe.

Ye Qinghe smiled slightly. This was the first time she had been "praised" like this. "Everything Mr. Yu did was for Qing Huan. Of course I have nothing to say. It's just that the Ye family is now in danger of life and death. If Qing Huan can go back, maybe he can be saved."

A clan of people with the same bloodline."

"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." Yu Zhi said kindly.

Ye Qinghe's eyes shone. This kid is really enlightened. "Exactly. The Buddha said that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If Qing Huan can help our Ye family overcome this difficulty..."

"Then Qing Huan will become a monk." Yu Zhi interrupted.

"ah……"

"You Qinggu, don't say Qianbaohaoren. How many levels of pagoda is this? I think Xuankong Temple will definitely like a good person like Qing Huan." Yu Zhi already had an image of Ye Qinghuan wearing a cassock and a ring scar on his head in his mind.

"I don't know how to become a monk." At some point, Ye Qinghuan stood behind Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi seemed to have been caught doing something bad, and turned around with a smile.

"If you become a monk, you will definitely tarnish the name of the Xuankong Temple." Yu Zhi looked at Ye Qinghuan and said. This child is so good-looking, he will definitely bring many more female pilgrims to the gate of the Xuankong Temple.

Ye Qinghuan ignored Yu Zhi and looked at Ye Zhong.

"My aunt asked me to go to Beiliang, so I will go. As for your Qinggu Ye family, I have nothing to do with it."

Ye Chong did not agree with Ye Qinghuan's statement. He wandered at the foot of Tiandao Mountain for a few days. After meeting Li Qingru for the first time, the Ye family never had the chance to set foot on Tiandao Mountain. Until Ye Qinghuan came down the mountain, Ye Zhong followed Ye Qinghuan there.

Kyoto.

"Your body is filled with the blood of the Ye family and the blood of the Shaowu Hou Mansion. It is what you should do to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan." Ye Chong said. He recognized this fact and it was an undeniable fact.

Ye Qinghuan was too lazy to argue. He only remembered that when mother and son were living alone and helpless, there was no blood connection between the Ye family and the Shaowu Houfu to help them. Instead, they were hunted down again and again.

His eyes became colder and harsher, staring at Ye Chong, making him very uncomfortable.

Contempt, ridicule, and disdain.

What kind of look is this? That was the look his brother-in-law had when he came to Qinggu on horseback.

They really are father and son. They look down upon each other with exactly the same look.

Ye Qinghe looked at Ye Qinghuan...and Yu Zhi, with worry hidden in her eyebrows. In just a few contacts, she understood these two young people better than Ye Zhong.

Ye Qinghuan is calm and arrogant. If he disagrees, it cannot be changed. With a pure heart, right is right and wrong is wrong.

Yu Zhi is also so arrogant, but Yu Zhi is different from Ye Qinghuan's calmness. Yu Zhi is more like a hedgehog. If you touch him, he will prick you with his merciless mouth.

Ye Qinghe was stabbed and hurt several times.

In any case, both of them are the kind of people who don't change their opinions easily.

"Ye Xiao, come back to Beiliang with me. Marquis Wu only has a grandson like you. In the future, the title of Marquis Wu will definitely be yours." Ye Chong said sincerely. When he came from Beiliang Mansion, he had already thought of his words.

Think of countermeasures.

The title of Marquis Wu is a great temptation.

indeed.

For Ye Chong, this is a great temptation. If the blood of their Ye family can inherit the title of Shaowu Marquis Mansion, how can Qinggu not become the next Cangshan?
Chapter completed!
