After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

The next morning.

Murong Xiao came to Jiang Ruoli's yard and said goodbye to her.

"Leaving today? Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Ruoli was very surprised.

It was not convenient for Murong Xiao to enter the house, so the two of them sat in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Fuguo brought hot tea, and Murong Xiao took it and took a sip.

"This time, Beixin Kingdom not only attacked Dacheng, but also invaded the border of the Southern Dynasty. The Southern Dynasty is now in chaos. If I don't go back, I'm afraid the Queen will come to find me with a knife."

He was still in the mood for jokes.

Jiang Ruoli frowned slightly.

"You know that Bei Xin has always had a deep hatred with the Southern Dynasty, but why do they never dare to invade the Southern Dynasty?" Murong Xiao asked.

Jiang Ruoli shook her head.

There is not much of a section on the Southern Dynasty in the original book, and it only served as cannon fodder when paying tribute to the emperor in Beijing.

"Because of the Southern Dynasty's secret technique."

"Southern Dynasty secret technique?"

Murong Xiao uttered a light “huh”.

"Do you really think that I, a saint, am just a decoration?"

Jiang Ruoli felt a little embarrassed, she really thought so.

Murong Xiao saw through her thoughts, but did not point it out. He straightened his expression and said:

"The Southern Dynasty and the Northern Xin have had a long-standing grudge. The punishment King Bei Xin received back then was more than just a thousand ants gnawing at his heart."

Jiang Ruoli realized that he was talking about the incident many years ago when King Xin of Bei went on a diplomatic mission to the Southern Dynasty and violated the Empress of the Southern Dynasty.

"That incident caused a lot of uproar back then, and everyone in the Southern Dynasty was indignant. The then-incumbent Saint of the Southern Dynasty used all her life's skills to cast a curse on the Northern Xin Kingdom—"

"The army of the Northern Xin Kingdom shall never set foot on the land of the Southern Dynasty. If they disobey, the whole country will be overthrown."

hiss--

Jiang Ruoli took a breath of cold air.

It's really cruel.

"If that's the case, then how dare Beixin Kingdom..." Jiang Ruoli was puzzled.

Murong Xiao snorted coldly, "Perhaps because time has passed, they think the spell has lost its effect."

Little did they know that this curse was cast at the cost of the life of the saint back then, and it would be impossible to eliminate it in any lifetime.

Jiang Ruoli vaguely understood.

No wonder the Southern Dynasty sought help from Dacheng this time.

The Northern Xin Kingdom invaded the Southern Dynasty. Although there were spells to restrain it, if the Northern Xin Kingdom really attacked the Southern Dynasty city, the people of the Southern Dynasty would also suffer.

Therefore, the best way is to allow the Northern Xin Kingdom to set foot on the land of the Southern Dynasty while having enough strength to resist the attack of the Northern Xin Kingdom.

In this way, the Southern Dynasty's spells can be used to the maximum extent, and the soldiers on the front line of Dacheng can also reduce a lot of pressure.

This time, the Southern Dynasty is really determined to destroy the Northern Xin Kingdom...

"Does my second brother know about this?" Jiang Ruoli asked.

Murong Xiao nodded, "General Jiang naturally knows about this."

That's good. With the magic from the Southern Dynasty, she is more confident of winning this war.

"It turns out that your Southern Dynasty secret techniques are so powerful..." Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course." Murong Xiao smiled mysteriously, "Not only that, the Southern Dynasty also has a method of resurrecting the dead..."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoli's body shook violently.

Borrowing a corpse...resurrecting the soul?

Seeing her dazed look, Murong Xiao thought that he had scared her by saying this.

"I'm just teasing you, little girl. You believe anything I say." Murong Xiao said helplessly.

"Why did you lie to me again!" Jiang Ruoli punched him angrily.

She was so scared that she thought he had discovered something...

Murong Xiao looked at Jiang Ruoli lovingly, with some reluctance in his eyes.

"When I leave, you better stay here and don't just follow that brat Xiao Yujing."

"What are you talking about!" Jiang Ruoli retorted subconsciously.

Murong Xiao curved the corners of his lips and raised his hand to touch her head.

Jiang Ruoli bit her lower lip lightly and wanted to ask a question she had been thinking about for a long time.

"Murong Xiao, do you..." know my background?

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Murong Xiao.

"Li'er, it's good for you not to know some things."

Murong Xiao's eyes were gloomy.

Jiang Ruoli thought about it for a long time, but in the end she didn't ask any more questions.

Murong Xiao stood up and smiled brightly at her.

"I'm leaving now. I'll come see you again after the war is over."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

Jiang Ruoli looked at his departing back, feeling indescribable.

Murong Xiao, you must also return safely.

-

Long Street, Linglongzhai.

There were few customers in the morning, and Yunzhu was sorting the spices delivered by the herbal farmers yesterday.

The herbalist said that the weather was getting cold, and he might come to deliver spices less often. Yunzhu didn't mind. After all, the herbalist gave her a lot, and she had already stockpiled enough spices until next spring.

While I was busy, the wind chimes at the door rang.

Yunzhu looked up and saw the man wearing a veiled hat.

During this period, he came to Linglongzhai every few days to choose some incense or rouge and bring it home to his wife. Yunzhu had become accustomed to it.

But he usually comes at night, and this is the first time he appears during the day.

"Sir, what would you like to choose today?" Yunzhu came forward with a smile.

During this period, the man bought a lot of things from her, all of which were very valuable. When she saw him, it was like seeing the God of Wealth.

The man hidden under the veil seemed to smile.

He looked around and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "What do you recommend today?"

The man didn't understand women's items, so every time he came, Yunzhu would recommend what he should buy.

Judging from the feedback, the other party’s wife likes it very much.

"Sir, you are here a little early today." Yunzhu said with a smile, "I am making a new rouge, and I will be able to finish it if you come tomorrow."

"Tomorrow..." The man hesitated for a moment, "I will leave Beijing today."

Yunzhu was startled when she heard this.

By the way, the man once said that he brought his wife to Kyoto for business and was not a Kyoto native.

"Is that so..." Yunzhu smiled faintly, "That's a pity..."

What a pity! Such generous guests are hard to come by.

The two were silent for a while, and the man took out a small wooden box from his arms and handed it to Yunzhu.

"Thanks to the help of Shopkeeper Yunzhu, Madam really likes the fragrance and rouge in the store."

"This is a thank you gift."

Yunzhu was a little stunned.

This is the first time I see a customer giving a gift to a business...

She quickly waved her hands to refuse, "No, no, no, this is all I should do. Besides, I'm making money from you, right?"

"It's not a valuable item. Please accept it, shopkeeper." The man's hand holding the wooden box did not move.

Seeing that he insisted, Yunzhu couldn't refuse and took the small wooden box.

When he opened it, he saw a white jade ring inside.

This ring is gentle, delicate, transparent and flawless, and it is obvious at first glance that it is not an ordinary item.

"This is too expensive. I can't..."

Yunzhu raised her head and quickly refused.

But the person in front of him had long disappeared.

Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him.

But in the vast long street, there was no trace of that black figure...

At the entrance of the long street, there was a simple carriage parked.

The cold wind was howling as a figure walked quickly towards the carriage.

Ling Zhiming got into the car and took off the veil on his head.
