Leaving the city, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard from Tingyu Tower in the prefect's harem.
Three floors up, a mother and son were sitting opposite each other at the table.
The young master's face was still a little pale, and his lips were slightly lacking in blood. His body covered in thick fox fur was slightly curled up, and he rested his head on the side of the table with one hand, closing his eyes and concentrating.
The woman in red is facing the big lake and playing the flute gently. The sound is gentle and soft, which makes people feel comfortable and want to hibernate.
The young master closed his eyes, but murmured, "Mother..."
The woman in red stopped playing the flute and looked at her son with a gentle look, "Huh?"
"You...have hidden many things from me..." The young master also spoke softly, but what he said was not a question.
The woman in red was silent for a while and then smiled softly, "Who in this world doesn't have some secrets?" She reached out and stroked the young man's hair and said, "You just need to know that your mother will not harm you."
The young master did not respond to his mother's words, but murmured about other things, "In recent days, my son has heard a lot of things. Someone came to tell me that the brother I only met once should be in Cangyan City now.
My elder brother, who lived a wealthy life, owned the sword of the princes. I was very angry at first, thinking why he dared to take the sword of the princes? But later, I heard two palace attendants talking about my father's physical discomfort and other things.
Only then did I feel that everything was not that simple. Something was going to happen in Licheng..."
The woman in red caressed the young master's hand for a moment, then slowly took it back, "Yes, winter is coming, and it's time for something to happen..."
"Mother..." The young master opened his eyes and looked at the woman in red with a tired and slightly panicked gaze, "My son went to inquire about something, and many courtiers were secretly discussing...
..I think it’s not good to talk about my father’s body. What should my father do to let those damn bitches talk about it forever? He should..."
"Okay," the woman in red said sternly, "Your father certainly has his own plans, so why is it your turn to teach him how to do things?"
The young master turned his head in the direction of the lake with some dissatisfaction, "The child's health is almost healed. I'm going to leave the city to garrison to do what I need to do as a supervisor."
The woman in red thought for a while and then said, "Okay, just take my carriage instead of riding a horse."
The young man stood up and originally wanted to refuse. When he turned around and saw the expression on the woman in red, he swallowed his cold words and just nodded, turned around and went downstairs.
The woman in red watched the carriage downstairs go away, and the gentle smile on her face disappeared completely. She stood up with a frosty face and whispered to the man in black, "What's wrong with Cang Yan?
!”
The man in black looked at the woman in red's eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, and lowered his head in a somewhat evasive manner, "When a person in a key position dies, the speed of transmitting information back and forth will slow down. Beyond that position, go up to
The downstream personnel finally reconnected..."
"What happened to that scoundrel?!" The woman in red took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed the man in black's arm, and shook it twice.
The man in black raised his head and glanced at the woman in red and said, "That scoundrel got rid of Cangyan Sanmaggot and a group of powerful disciples in the Sansi Yamen, which won the hearts of the people." He sighed again and saw the woman in red getting angry.
He lowered his head with excitement, "He also got the support of... Cangyan Sword Sect..."
"What?!" The woman in red almost couldn't suppress her voice and screamed. She resisted the urge to throw things and walked to the window and gently closed the window. Then she slowly sat back on her seat and squeezed the window through her teeth.
Squeezing out his voice, "Those three maggots should have been killed by Yun'er himself under the prefect's order, so that's fine... Is the Cangyan Sword Sect crazy? He actually supported a scoundrel who was assigned to Cangyan?!"
The man in black lowered his head and remained silent, while the woman in red's hand holding the teacup trembled a little, "If Cangyan Sword Sect supports that scoundrel, then even if Yun'er becomes the prefect, we can't touch him easily. No, there's something wrong here.
..." She bent the index finger of her other hand and bit it in her mouth. In an instant, blood flowed down her lips, but she seemed not to notice, "Cangyan Sword Sect and Lijun Prefecture have always been mutually loyal to each other.
"Li Jing, it's impossible to do such a thing, Luo Tianen must have done something, what did he do?! He asked the Cangyan Sword Sect to protect him for the sake of that woman's evil offspring?! Why, why?!"
She seemed to be crying and smiling, her face slightly distorted, "When you gave her a birthright and made her son the eldest son, I didn't object. Now that her son has come back and you let him go to Cangyan, I didn't stop him either.
I want you to die in peace, but why are you unwilling...?!"
"Fanxing, although the Cangyan Sword Sect is powerful, it is impossible to resist the will of Li County and Yongchang County at the same time. When..." The man in black was interrupted by the woman in red before he finished speaking.
"What you can't wait for, you don't understand, you can never get everything you want by waiting," the woman in red turned to look at the man in black, her fair face, red lips and blood looked particularly eye-catching, "Qishui
, the people who were sent to Xiyi earlier... are also dead...?"
The man in black hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "The people sent by the prefect to Cangyan are also dead."
"They are all trash," the woman in red said with a smile, "Xi Yi, only Xi Yi. Since the Cangyan Sword Sect wants to get involved in this matter, let Xi Yi become their opponent!" She murmured to herself.
He said, "I want to use a Cangyan to bury the Cangyan Sword Sect and that bastard... Let Jiuzhu go. Although it is dangerous to go upstream from the Cangjiang River, with his strength, he should be able to do it and find
Those who can make the decision in Xiyi, tell them that the day Yun'er becomes the prefect of Li County is the day when Cangyan belongs to Xiyi!!"
"No!" The man in black was shocked, "If Jiuzhu hadn't been by Yun'er's side last time, his life wouldn't have been saved. If you let Jiu Zhu go to Xiyi, what would happen to Yun'er's safety? Luo Tianen is about to survive.
He can't go on anymore. Even if the gods from the sky come, they can't save his life. Yun'er's safety is the most important thing at the moment!"
"Of course I know that Yun'er's safety is the most important thing, but do you think that just one Nine Pearls can keep Yun'er absolutely safe?" the woman in red said, "When Yun'er reveals his face to the garrison, let him
Staying with Luo Tianen and not leaving for a moment is also the last act of filial piety. At this time, where can be safer than Luo Tianen's side? Don't forget, there is a real shadow beside him...
..."
The man in black was speechless. After a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "Master Taishou... I don't want you to be like this..."
The woman in red suddenly laughed, staring at the man in black with her beautiful eyes, reaching out to hold his hand, "Don't I know what my father wants me to do? He hopes that everyone in the world can
Follow his orders...and live like a dog he has!"
The man in black frowned slightly, but ultimately said nothing.
The woman in red sneered and continued, "That scoundrel killed three maggots in Cangyan, drove out a group of powerful children, and offended all the civil and military dignitaries of the dynasty. Then we have something to do during this time.
Come on, let all those people who have resentment against that evil creature stand on our ship! Now that Luo Tianen is going to die, various speculations are spreading rapidly among the officials. They all need a reassurance. We will give them this.
A reassurance..."
The man in black nodded, "Master Prefect... do you want to send a message back?"
"Of course," the woman in red smiled, "just tell him that Luo Tianen intends to pass the position of prefect to that scoundrel, and see if he will stop me from sending people to Xiyi...!
