Concubine Shiyu took the charcoal fire and hurried back, but as soon as she entered the door, she felt a strong force coming from her, followed by a stinging pain on the back of her neck.
Seeing his concubine Shiyu fainted on the ground and the charcoal fire scattered all over the floor, Yun Qi still took her back to the house responsibly and put away the charcoal fire.
She had already changed her clothes. She originally wanted to disguise herself as a man, but she didn't look like a man. She was afraid that wearing men's clothes would only attract more attention.
Therefore, she just changed into a simple light blue dress and put on a gold-plated gradient mask on her face, which tightly covered her face.
Although there were many servants coming and going in Shangshu Mansion, it was not difficult for Yun Qi to avoid them.
She opened the back door and was about to leave, but was suddenly startled. She felt as if someone was approaching quickly from behind her. Although the voice was very low, Yun Qi still caught her.
She turned around sharply, just in time to avoid the man's outstretched hand, and turned to the side. Before she could stand still, the man pounced on her again.
The person who came was wearing black casual clothes and a mask on his face. He couldn't see clearly, but judging from his body shape, he should be a woman.
That man seemed to be able to predict Yun Qi's movements, so he was really difficult to deal with.
Yun Qi's eyes narrowed, he ducked sideways and grabbed the hand. The joints were slender, and it was indeed a woman.
The man's reaction was also very quick. Seeing that he couldn't free his hand, he simply pressed forward with his whole body. Yun Qi had never seen such a weird move before, so he stepped back.
She really found a way to break through. She reached behind Yun Qi. The speed was so fast that Yun Qi felt a chill on his back. Before he could move, he was locked tightly by this person.
Waist.
Yun Qi was a little angry, so he jumped up using his strength. The man also changed according to Yun Qi's body shape, like a piece of dog skin plaster that he couldn't get rid of no matter what.
Yun Qi's face was already sweating, and the initial fear had been replaced by anger. She just wanted to have a good fight with this person, but she didn't know that she was so shameless.
In a daze, she seemed to hear the man's low smile, and her heart became even more angry.
Yun Qi used great strength to reach behind him, grabbed his arm and pulled him hard in front of him. He only heard a soft snort from the man, which seemed to be out of dissatisfaction.
But Yun Qi was too lazy to care about this. Before the man could stand still, he kicked the man firmly in the waist and abdomen.
Surprisingly, the man only took a few steps back. The kick just now was like hitting cotton, and all the force disappeared instantly when it came into contact with the man.
A trace of astonishment flashed across Yun Qi's face, but he soon returned to the stage and stepped forward quickly, but the man's body was incredibly flexible.
Just when Yun Qi was helpless, the sound of people talking and footsteps gradually came from not far away.
Before Yun Qi could react, his mouth and nose were covered by the man, and he was forced to retreat to the darkness.
In the narrow space, Yun Qi felt that this man's body was soft and limp. After fighting with him for a long time, his breathing was still stable and there was no trace of panic.
Her voice was low, "Don't make a sound."
But when he heard this delicate voice, Yun Qi was stunned. Why was this voice so familiar?
After the few people who came had left, the man took off the mask on his face. It was Aunt Xu's cheerful and charming face. The years had passed, but it did not leave much of a mark on Aunt Xu's face.
trace.
She smiled softly and patted the dust on her body, "Now is not the time to talk. Since we are going out, let's go together."
She grabbed Yun Qi's hand and pulled her away from Shangshu Mansion. Judging from her appearance, she must be a habitual offender!
It wasn't until she reached an alley and saw no one around that Aunt Xu stopped. She leaned against the wall and looked at Yun Qi with a smile on her face.
"Little girl, tell me, what's going on?"
Yun Qi's heart has not yet calmed down, "Auntie, this should be my question to you, right?"
Their eyes met, and both of them smiled. It seemed that this Shangshu Mansion was unique in many ways.
Aunt Xu looked at the mask on Yun Qi's face and was silent for a long time, with a look of disgust on her face, "Take off your mask, you're so ugly!"
…
Yun Qi took it off muttering, a little depressed, "Is it ugly? I think it looks pretty..."
Aunt Xu took out another mask from her bag, "This one, this one is more beautiful. This one will definitely fit you."
Looking at the mask handed over by Aunt Xu, Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, but he still took it and put it on under Aunt Xu's expectant eyes.
This mask is quite light, and it is cool but does not feel chilly. It is full of golden stripes, criss-crossing each other. It is not so much the stripes on the mask as it is a mask composed of stripes.
Every line fits the skin very well, just like a flower blooming on the face, beautiful and charming.
The smile on Aunt Xu's face became even bigger. She stared at Yun Qi closely, stretched out her arms to hug Yun Qi, and even kissed Yun Qi's face.
"She is indeed my Xu Xinyan's daughter, she is so beautiful!"
She hated the iron and said: "That guy Luo'er is useless. He can't learn some skills after being taught several times. God can't stand it anymore and gave me such a perfect daughter!"
She looked at Yun Qi with joy, and she liked her more and more from the bottom of her heart, and she was more and more satisfied. Yun Qi always felt that she was not attached to him.
"Didn't I say that you only like good-looking men, aunt?"
She frowned and said seriously: "Who said that? I also like beautiful women, just like you!"
Yun Qi was amused, "So, aunt, you..."
Aunt Xu smiled and took Yun Qi's hand, "Little darling, let's go, I will take you to a good place, you will definitely like it!"
Yun Qi was still a little at a loss and stood still. Didn't he have no problems facing his Aunt Xu? But he had a lot of problems!
But when Yun Qi was tormenting himself, Aunt Xu still spoke, and her voice was calm, clear, and indescribably pleasant.
"I knew when I saw you that day that you must also be a martial artist. I touched your hand just now and I became even more sure. If you hadn't practiced martial arts with a sword since you were young, you would definitely not have so many hands.
of calluses.
And I have long heard that Yun Hanyi's illegitimate daughter has died a long time ago, but don't worry, I won't say anything, because you are really good-looking, no matter what the purpose is, I will help you!
"
????
Yun Qi was stunned, "Then Bai Feng..."
"Bai Feng, I also like that kid from the bottom of my heart, but he should be a doctor or a poison master, right? People like them always have a medicinal smell about them. It's really easy to recognize him. He has such great abilities at such a young age.
, I like it even more!”
Yun Qi was a little confused at this time, "That road to Cheng'an..."
"I really don't see anything about that boy, but you and him must not have been childhood sweethearts, right? After thinking about it, the look he looked at you that day was indeed gentle, but it was also mixed with awe. Thinking about your relationship
It must be extraordinary.”
Yun Qi gave up completely, and simply said directly: "Aren't you worried that I have other plans?"
"What's there to worry about?"
She looked at Yun Qi and gave a nice smile, "Each of us has other agendas. Who can live a clean and pure life?"
"But……"
"Oh, don't worry!"
The smile on Aunt Xu's face faded a lot, and her thoughts seemed to be drifting away, "I was originally the daughter of the head of a small sect in Jianghu, but I offended a high official in the court, and the entire sect was destroyed. It was Yun Hanyi who saved me.
He killed me and avenged me, otherwise I wouldn’t be happy to stay here as his concubine!”
She looked at Yun Qi, and there were other things in her eyes, "We are all from the world. When I saw you, I felt an inexplicable familiarity. It was not that I was familiar with you as a person, but that the aura on your body was the same as my previous appearance.
Very similar.
Fanji Valley, am I right?"
Yun Qi said nothing and lowered his eyes.
"The incident in Fanji Valley has caused a sensation in the entire capital. I have also seen the portrait of your capture, but it really doesn't look like it. You risked your life to enter the capital. I have a good guess as to why."
Yun Qi pursed his lips and said, "Auntie, collecting gangsters is a serious crime against the nine tribes. Aren't you worried that I will harm you?"
Aunt Xu smiled and waved her hand nonchalantly, "What about collecting gangsters? You are now the daughter of my Shangshu Mansion. What do you care about Fengqi?"
Yun Qi was shocked in his heart, but also mixed with some luck. Fortunately, Aunt Xu had no ill intentions. If she had been on the opposite side of him, he would have really perished.
"Thank you, auntie, I..."
"Okay, okay, don't say any words of thanks. Just find a handsome husband for Luo'er. Not to mention someone like Lu Chengan, who is better-looking than Gu Nianqing no matter what."
"Aunt..."
"Oh, okay, okay, by the way, is Lu Chengan your senior brother or junior brother?"
"...junior brother."
"Where's Bai Feng?"
"Junior brother."
"Oh, you are still a senior sister. She is indeed my daughter, she is excellent! Hey, do you really know where the dungeon is?"
"Um."
"Awesome, I also want to go to the dungeon, but I can't find it. I'm so annoyed. Are you and Lu Chengan really childhood sweethearts?"
"no."
"My little darling, do you have someone you like? Auntie, let me go and take a look at it for you. Does it look good?"
"No."
"Ah, really not? That's right. I see that there are not many men in the world who are worthy of you! I think Lu Chengan is quite good."
"Auntie!"
"Oh oh oh, let's not talk about it anymore... Well, how about I take you to the Jiang family and the Yan family to see it?"
…
Looking at the hand held by Aunt Xu, for a moment, Yun Qi felt that he had found his own warmth again, but it was only for a moment.
The reason why Aunt Xu is willing to turn a blind eye may be because she understands what Yun Qi is carrying. In some aspects, they do have a strong sympathy.
The two of them walked around the street for a long time, and Yun Qi also knew a lot of incredible news from Aunt Xu.
The old man of the Jiang family turned out to be a veteran of the previous court. Now that he can continue to stay in the court, it can be regarded as the kindness of Sheng Siqing.
There is also the Ninth Master, whose whereabouts have always been erratic. Sometimes he is in the palace, sometimes he disappears. Now he suddenly announced to the world that he is back, and I don't know if he is going to cause some trouble.
He also said that Sheng Sinan was about to leave the temple, but he didn't know if he could adapt to the luxurious life of the palace after being a stoic in the temple for so many years.
All over the world, when Aunt Xu mentioned Sheng Siqing, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and Yun Qi couldn't help but ask.
However, Aunt Xu only said that Sheng Siqing was too ambitious, always wanted to annex the northern border, and was surrounded by wars. He was really not a wise king of the country.
However, it was rumored that someone had the audacity to assassinate Sheng Siqing. There was no doubt that he was caught by the five chief eunuchs. Before he died, he could only point at Sheng Siqing and curse.
It is said that he is tyrannical, extremely cruel, does not know the way to be a king, does not understand human common sense, and does not understand the affairs of the six realms.
But Sheng Siqing just sat on the dragon's throne, looking at him with a scornful attitude, saying that the general trend of the world will be divided over time. He just wants to build a unified country. What's wrong with this?
Besides, if he leaves the country alone, there will be countless small countries standing there. There will be no wars all year round, but small wars all the time. How can the people live and work in peace and contentment?
Everything he did was for this world.
The impassioned words he spoke seemed to have indeed infected the assassin, but not Aunt Xu.
Yun Qi did not express her own opinion. She did not know what kind of person Sheng Siqing was and whether he was qualified as a monarch.
She only knew that she wanted to find the person who murdered her and make those high-ranking officials pay the price for everything in Fanji Valley.
