The third lady Duanmu also spoke, with a frown on her face and a suspicious look on her face. Apparently she had the same doubts as the fifth lady Chen.
"correct."
Yang Ji laughed:
"The friend I know lives here. This time I went to the Ouyang Family, in addition to treating the Third Young Master. My biggest purpose is to meet this fellow disciple of the Iron Crown Sect who practices together."
"Iron Crown Faction?"
The two ladies were thoughtful, but no one could figure it out. Neither of them were martial arts practitioners, so how could they know about the Iron Crown Sect.
Not to mention the two ladies, even the guards of the Ouyang family don't know much about it.
Taiyuanzhou Prefecture is a prosperous and wealthy place in the east. They still know about the big and prestigious sects. But how can they know so much about the small local sects?
"Iron Crown Sect, I seem to have heard of it somewhere..."
Behind Chen, a personal guard murmured to himself, looking like he was thinking hard.
"where is it?"
The fifth lady, Mrs. Chen, turned her head almost immediately with extremely sharp eyes.
"I can't remember this at the moment." The guard lowered his head and muttered.
"Useless things."
Mrs. Chen was furious and glared at him fiercely.
The guards were as silent as a cicada, full of fear.
The carriage was getting closer and closer. Yang Ji stood on the carriage and looked around. He had known Ouyang Zishi for so long, and this was the first time Yang Ji visited the place where he lived.
"There!"
Yang Ji pointed to a building with a red roof not far away.
"there!"
Arriving in front of the red-roofed building, Yang Ji pointed in another direction. Seeing Yang Ji's casual pointing, the fifth lady, Chen, suddenly felt a thump in her heart.
"Could it be...it's not that little beast?"
The fifth lady, Mrs. Chen, suddenly felt uneasy. She glanced at Yang Ji secretly, but Yang Ji was looking ahead, with no expression at all on his hard face.
"I hope not, I hope not..."
She suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have followed.
"There is an intersection, and there is another intersection... I hope he is not going to the right. As long as he is not going to the right, there will be no problem."
The fifth lady bit her lower lip, worried.
According to the direction pointed by Yang Ji, there were fewer and fewer people. She could almost count the people going in this direction. The bitch she was most worried about lived there with his little beast.
That little beast was also demoted to the outside world and seemed to have joined a small sect in a certain county. But which sect was he from? Why can't he suddenly remember it?
"Fifth Madam, are you okay?"
The third lady Duanmu noticed her opinion and glanced at her.
"No, it's okay."
The fifth lady, Mrs. Chen, looked guilty.
On the carriage, Yang Ji looked back at her with a half-smiling expression. This made Chen even more uneasy. The voice of the third lady Duanmu came to her ears, and she seemed to have doubts:
"Young Master Yang, this is where the low-level disciples of our Ouyang family live. Are you sure you remember correctly? How come that friend you know lives here?"
Yang Ji’s voice is mellow, young and magnetic:
"It's a long story. The friend I know is actually not bad in qualifications, and he didn't live here originally. But according to what he said, he seemed to have offended a lady in the mansion, and was demoted by the lady to avenge her.
I got here. I was seriously injured this time, and I was even imprisoned by the lady. I was locked in a room and no one was allowed to come near. There was no way to treat her..."
Yang Ji said it very casually, but when the sound came to the ears of the fifth lady Chen, it was like a thunder. The fifth lady Chen's eyes were filled with horror, her face turned pale, and she almost fell off the carriage.
This direction, this position, and what Yang Ji said... she had already guessed who Yang Ji was talking about. At this moment, looking at Yang Ji, the fifth lady's eyes were like seeing a ghost.
The third lady, Duanmu, didn't notice Chen's situation. She was just asking casually, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Martial arts are very important in the aristocratic family, and there are competitions and competitions almost every day. Not to mention among the same clan, even if they fight with the military guards, some people will be seriously injured.
These are nothing at all. But to imprison the disciples of the clan and not allow medical treatment is a big deal. It may lead to death. This is a serious violation.
"Mr. Yang, are you kidding me? How could such a thing happen in our family?"
The third lady, Duanmu, raised her eyebrows and said solemnly.
"How dare Yang Ji lie to Madam? This is absolutely true. His servant is still in my inn. However, after all, I am not from the house. So I am afraid I have to trouble Madam about this matter."
Yang Ji said seriously.
The look on the third lady's face became serious. She was the head wife of a noble family, and the daily lives of the children of the noble family were under her control. If such a thing really happened, causing the Ouyang family's children to lose their achievements or die, it would be a big deal.
"Mr. Yang, if there is such a thing, even if you don't tell me, I will still take care of it. What is the name of the friend you are talking about?"
The third lady Duanmu said.
In an instant, countless eyes, both familiar and unknown, were focused on Yang Ji. Even the fifth lady, Chen, was no exception.
Her face was pale and her expression was tense. Although she had already guessed who Yang Ji was talking about, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"His name is...Ouyang Zishi!"
When this name was spoken, not only the fifth lady Chen, but also all the servants, servants, mothers, and guards she brought with her turned pale and screamed, creating chaos.
"How can it be!!"
The fifth lady, Mrs. Chen, stared at the young man named Yang Ji. The world was spinning all of a sudden, her hands and feet were cold, and her heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the water.
"Roa!"
At the same time, the carriage stopped and finally reached its destination!
Just in front of the carriage, an ordinary building stood on the ground. It was not as luxurious and colorful as other buildings in Ouyang Shijia. It looked like a farmhouse next to the building.
But next to this farmhouse, a group of guards from the Ouyang family gathered around, with their hands on their waists, their swords half out of their sheaths, and their eyes fiercely staring at the surroundings.
Although it was his first time to enter the Ouyang Family, Yang Ji was already sure that this was the right place after seeing the sword-carrying guards mentioned by the old servant.
Silence, incomparable silence!
In an instant, all sounds disappeared, as if entering a silent world.
The two parties looked at each other, and no one made a sound.
"Get away!"
The third lady, Duanmu, raised her eyebrows and shouted fiercely. She did not expect that what Yang Ji said was actually true. It was because of Ouyang Zushi that Yang Ji chose the Ouyang family and the Zifu.
The third lady never expected that this great hero would actually be imprisoned.
There is such a thing within her jurisdiction, which is a huge offense to her own power. Even if it is not for Yang Ji, she must take care of it.
"I'm sorry, we are not allowed to get out of the way without the fifth lady's order!"
After discovering that the person who came was the third lady, the six guards were so frightened that they retracted their swords and knelt on the ground. However, the leading guard still insisted on his duties, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Chen Ji, you did a good job!"
The third lady's face was livid, and she suddenly turned around and shouted loudly. With this sharp shout, the storm was thundering, and the third lady gained so much power that except Yang Ji and the ghost alchemist, everyone turned pale with fright and almost died.
"Madam, calm down!"
Far and near, a large group of people knelt down in darkness, each one terrified and terrified, as if the end was coming.
In aristocratic families, there is a distinction between superior and inferior, and the hierarchy is strict.
The fifth lady only imprisoned Ouyang Zishi, and she could only do it in private. But the third lady had the right to kill them all.
"Madam, madam, please calm down..."
The fifth lady was so panicked that she knelt down on the carriage. She felt resentful in her heart. It was a good thing that the guard was loyal to his duty, but now she just wanted to cut him into pieces.
However, I think there is someone more hateful than the guards, Yang Ji!
The Fifth Madam gritted her teeth with hatred. In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts passed through her mind. She suddenly understood completely.
This Yang Ji came completely for her, even to treat Ouyang Zifu. It seemed accidental in the bamboo garden, but it was actually his intention.
She now wants to eat Yang Ji alive.
"Hmph! When the master comes back, you can take the punishment yourself!"
The third lady Duanmu's face was gloomy. This Chen Ji not only set up private punishments, but also deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates, violated her rights, and treated her, the third lady of the main wife, as if she was nothing.
The fifth lady, Mrs. Chen, trembled and almost collapsed. She punished Ouyang Zishi because her biggest support was the third lady.
Who would have thought that the third lady would be instigated by Yang Ji to turn against her.
"Madam, we'll talk about these things later. Let's go in first."
Yang Ji was concerned about Ouyang Zushi's injury and said. He had no sympathy for the fifth lady. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Among aristocratic families, this kind of struggle is probably more intense than anywhere else.
.
With the third wife, the respected first wife and head wife, suppressing her, the fifth wife may not be able to get ahead in the future. It can be regarded as getting rid of an enemy for Ouyang Zushi first, and letting out a bad breath.
The third lady stared at the fifth lady who was limp as mud on the ground, snorted angrily, and then followed Yang Ji in.
"Cough! Cough!"
Before entering, Yang Ji heard an intermittent coughing sound, the sound was rising and falling, like a bellows.
"It's Junior Brother Ouyang!"
Yang Ji quickened his pace and swooped in. The room was dark, all the windows were closed, and there was a smell of blood and stench in the air.
Ouyang Zizhi was in a very bad situation before Yang Ji came, but the real situation was much worse than Yang Ji imagined.
Yang Ji's expression changed and he hurriedly rushed over. In the middle of the room, Yang Ji saw a dirty tent bed, soaked in blood. Inside the bed tent, a familiar young man was lying on the bed, his body trembling.
, coughing non-stop.
Next to the bed, a gentle-looking and well-educated woman knelt down beside the bed, wiping the blood on Ouyang Zushi's body while sobbing softly and washing her face with tears.
