Everlasting prosperity

After Xiao Yizhi's identity was reported by the people of Ghost Shadow Hall, a group of people were assigned to guard the surroundings, but they were all sent back by Xiao Yizhi one by one.

First of all, Xiao Yizhi's own martial arts is very strong. If it weren't for the thousands of troops, he would definitely be able to escape alone, not to mention that there is Ji Anjun who has unknown martial arts by his side.Secondly, since Ji Anjun felt that when the two of them were alone, there were others watching, which was really uncomfortable.

"What are you going to do next?" Ji Anjun asked, reaching out to pour a pot of tea.

Xiao Yizhi leaned against the door frame, held the long sword in his hand, did not look back at him, but just looked into the distance, and replied, "Rong Chizi was originally the minister of Jiuzhao Academy, and he did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to Gao'an to seek a job. Jiuzhao plans to do something, but we don't know what he is going to do."

"For Jiuzhao's sake, he can attack a life-saving benefactor. I think what he's planning is not that simple." Ji Anjun took a sip of tea and replied.

"The former Emperor Jiuzhao was ambitious and wanted to swallow the world, but in the end he was assassinated and died. I don't think Zong Zhengyuan is such a war-hating person on the surface. If Rong Chizi is sent to sneak into Gao'an, how will he control King Gao'an? "Xiao Yizhi turned around, walked slowly to the table, reached out and tapped the table, and said.

Ji Anjun nodded in agreement, turned to ponder for a moment, and said, "King Gao An has been in power for many years now, so it may not be so easy to deal with, but if he assists another person, that's another matter."

Saying so, Xiao Yizhi suddenly looked at Ji Anjun and said, "Yu Linyuan!"

"That's right, if he wants to help Jiu Zhao's affairs by assisting Yu Linyuan to take over the position, then Gao An will be self-defeating, or he will want to seek other things." Ji Anjun continued his words.

"What else?" Xiao Yi was puzzled.

"Also, why did he kill you? How did he know that you were still alive? And how did he enter Fengming Mountain? We don't know any of this." Ji Anjun continued.

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhi lowered his head and thought over and over again, but he still couldn't come up with a reason.

"Since we don't know, let's check it out." Ji Anjun laughed.

Three days later—

"A letter?" Ji Anjun asked.

I saw Xiao Yizhi remove the bamboo tube from the carrier pigeon's leg, open the cork, pull out a roll of paper from it, and slowly unfold it.

Immediately, he reached out and handed the letter to Ji Anjun, frowning and sat down on the stool.

After Ji Anjun finished reading it carefully, he turned his eyes and thought for a while, walked over to him and sat down.

"It seems that what I said is correct. This Rong Chizi just wants to assist Yu Linyuan, but what he didn't expect is that you have no intention of taking the throne at all. You thought you would compete with Yu Linyuan for the throne, so he wanted to kill you to avoid future troubles." Ji Anjun Said.

Xiao Yizhi glanced at him, lowered his eyes and sighed again, and replied, "He is trying to get close to Yu Linyuan."

"Yizhi, why don't we just play tricks and pretend we don't know anything." Ji Anjun approached him and said in a low voice.

"Why? Even though I'm not from Gao'an, I don't want to implicate the people of Gao'an because of Rong Chizi's incident. This person should make King Gao'an be more careful anyway." Xiao Yizhi was a little puzzled, and expressed his thoughts say it.

Hearing Xiao Yizhi's words, Ji Anjun raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and then replied, "Instead of making King Gao An more careful, it's better to worry about Yu Linyuan. If he succeeds, he will not only have to deal with the problems left by King Gao An, but also deal with him." This Rongchizi's Jiuzhao power."

"Yuan Qian, if there is chaos in the court of a country, won't the people be caught in a fire?" Xiao Yizhi frowned and said with a tone of reproach.

"Yizhi, don't underestimate Yu Linyuan, he is not a good person, how could he ignore the people in the quagmire?" Ji Anjun explained patiently, not caring about the unkindness in Xiao Yizhi's tone.

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhi's displeasure subsided a little, he frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "You mean to use Yu Linyuan's hand to get rid of Rong Chizi?"

"Not bad." Ji Anjun nodded.

"But how can you be sure that Yu Linyuan will get rid of Rong Chizi?" Xiao Yizhi asked again.

"Not yes, but definitely." Ji Anjun replied firmly.

Hearing Ji Anjun's sure and confident answer, Xiao Yizhi was still a little puzzled, but since it was something he was certain of, it was always right.

At least for now, Ji Anjun's words have not made a single mistake.

"By the way, Yizhi, it's better to let Ghost Shadow Hall send some people here." Ji Anjun suddenly remembered something, and said quickly.

"Why?" Xiao Yi was puzzled.

"Some things always need to be passed on by a third party." Ji Anjun narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile, as if there was an intention behind his words.

Inner courtyard of Taiyuan City Royal Palace——

"Master Mu is not staying in Tingwei's Mansion, why did he come to this harem?" Qu Guifei asked.

The Qu family is Yu Linyuan's biological mother, and his father, Qu Changtian, is the current general who protects the country and holds [-]% of the military power in Gao'an.

Rong Chizi looked at the elegant and glamorous lady in front of him, as if time had not left any trace on her face, she was still radiant and moving.

"Returning to the imperial concubine, I came here for one person." Rong Chizi replied respectfully.

"Oh? Who would let Mr. Mu come to this harem?" Qu Shi asked indifferently, picked up a grape in his hand and put it in his mouth.

These grapes are estimated to be in September. In order to ensure that these concubines and nobles can eat a bite at any time, the palace built ice and snow in a pool in the harem, which was specially used to store these out-of-season foods.

Rong Chizi walked up to Qu Shi, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice, "Xiao Yuzhi."

Suddenly, Qu Shi paused the hand holding the grape, but then said again, "Maybe Mr. Mu forgot that this person died a long time ago."

Hearing this, Rong Chizi laughed lightly, and said again, "Don't you think that Mr. Xiao, who was at the banquet that day, is very similar to Xiao Yuzhi? They both have the same surname."

When Qu heard what Rong Chizi said, Xiao Yizhi's face gradually appeared in his mind, and then his pupils sharpened, and he suddenly turned to look at Rong Chizi, only to see that his eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't know why.

She thought over and over again, waved her skirt, and dismissed all the maids in the palace.

"What do you mean?" Qu asked.

Rong Chizi looked at Qu's nervous eyes, and replied, "Your Majesty, the lord has helped me to get to the position I am today, and I will assist you with all my strength. But the official knows that the relationship between the lord and the lord is not good, so I took the risk. For the prince."

Speaking of Yu Linyuan, Qu's heart was extremely soft, for this son, she was both heartbroken and regretful.She's hurt by being estranged from her own son, and regrets using him to keep her place in the harem.

But as a biological mother, she hoped that her son would one day ascend the throne and look down on the world.

"What do you want?" Qu asked in a low voice.

"Is the emperor more important than the prince or the prince in your heart?" Rong Chizi asked her back.

Hearing this question, Qu's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said, "Your Majesty? Xiao Yuzhi has always been the only one in his heart, how can he tolerate me?"

"Since that's the case, I would like to ask your majesty to help the prince as much as possible!" Rong Chizi arched his hands and said respectfully, knelt down on his knees, and slammed his forehead heavily on the ground.

Seeing Rong Chizi making such a big gift, Qu stood up in shock, stretched out his hand to help him up, and looked up at the young man in front of him.

"Okay! Since Yu Linmuqing is ruthless to me, then don't blame me for being ungrateful to him!" Qu said in a calm voice.

Seeing the ruthless look in Qu's eyes, Rong Chizi sneered in his heart, and a trick came to his mind.

At night, in the Shangzun building——

A group of men in black knelt down on the ground, lowered their heads, and placed their long swords at their feet, looking like they were being trained.

"My lord! Think twice!" A man in black clasped his fists and said pleadingly.

Xiao Yizhi felt a little headache when he looked at the person kneeling in front of his heels.

These people were sent to assassinate him. Fortunately, Ghost Shadow Hall knew Xiao Yizhi's identity in advance, so he stopped the assignment, sent the mission card directly to Xiao Yizhi's hand, and returned the The killer of the second travel mission was sent to him.

Facing this group of men in black who came to assassinate him, Xiao Yizhi thought twice.

"Since you have accepted the task, you must complete it." Xiao Yizhi said.

"My lord! The hall master ordered me to come here to ask for punishment from the lord, not to hurt you!" The man in black replied anxiously.

When they received the order from the hall master, they were already tense, thinking that the master would punish him severely, and if they could return to the ghost shadow hall alive, they would definitely go to the abyss of nine ghosts. It is a dead end.

It's just that they never thought that the master actually forced them to stab him with a sword. If the hall master knew about this, wouldn't they have to be cut alive?

Ji Anjun frowned and looked at the kneeling people, without saying a word.

Seeing Xiao Yizhi's insistence, the man in black knelt down to Ji Anjun, stretched out his hand and tugged at the hem of his clothes, and begged, "My lord, please persuade the Lord!"

The handsome man with green pupils in front of him is their second master, and they didn't recognize it at first, but since the master said it himself, then it's fine.Of course, they were also clear about the identity of this person, and the relationship between the Lord and him was really eye-popping, so they were willing.

Looking at the anxious eyes of the man in black, Ji Anjun's heart is not at ease. Although the bitter trick is a good show, it hurt Yizhi after all, so how could he allow it.

Xiao Yizhi looked at Ji Anjun with determination in his eyes.

"It's useless for you to beg me. I have nothing to do with what he decides." Ji Anjun said helplessly.

Hearing this, the man in black was full of disappointment, sighed, looked at Xiao Yizhi again, and begged him to think again.

"I didn't ask you to kill me, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Yizhi laughed.

"My lord, do you really decide to do this?" The man in black looked at Xiao Yizhi listlessly, and asked cautiously.

"Well, let's do it." Xiao Yizhi nodded, stood in front of the man in black, and replied calmly.

Immediately, the man in black turned his head and glanced at the men in black behind him, his eyes met, he reached out to pick up the long sword at his feet, took a deep breath, stood up and faced Xiao Yizhi.

For the first time since he was on a mission, he felt extremely nervous. He was so nervous that his back was soaked in cold sweat during the cold night.

"Well!"

The long sword swiped his arm, and the blood slowly seeped into his white clothes, staining a large area of ​​his sleeves.

"Also ask the Lord to punish!"

"My lord, please punish me!"

Immediately, there was a shuddering sound in the room.

Seeing the blood on Xiao Yizhi's body, Ji Anjun quickly turned around and went to the closet, took out the medical box from it, sat on the stool, and stretched out his hand to drag Xiao Yizhi to the bedside.

"You have no faults, so it will be easy to deal with." Xiao Yizhi smiled lightly, covering the wound with one hand, without frowning.

The man in black still knelt on the spot, motionless, waiting for Xiao Yizhi's next words.

Ji Anjun, on the other hand, tore off Xiao Yizhi's girdle, and said, "Tell the hall master that this matter is Xiao Yi's willful act, and it has nothing to do with you. But for that person, the hall master is a smart person." , I know how to reply."

The man in black pondered for a moment, looked at the actions of the two people in front of him, and finally made up his mind, "Yes! This subordinate obeys!"

As a result, the people in the room were filled with darkness and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Ji Anjun saw that there were only the two of them left in the room, he couldn't hold back anymore, grabbed Xiao Yizhi's chin with one hand, leaned closer to him, and looked fiercely into his eyes.

"Who told you to make a decision on your own?" Ji Anjun said angrily.

Shocked by the sudden anger, Xiao Yizhi stared blankly at him without saying a word, not knowing how to answer.

Looking at Ji Anjun who was surprised by him, he frowned, sighed softly, and said, "Can't you miss me, I will feel bad."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Yizhi smiled lightly and replied, "Don't worry, I won't die."

"What do you mean you can't die? Can't you not get hurt? If I'm not here, how do you want me to rest assured that you are alone?" Ji Anjun replied anxiously, his eyes full of reproach.

"In life, there is no one who is not injured. Body, heart, are all hurt. Can you handle it? Also, if you are gone, I will die with you." Xiao Yizhi looked at him and replied.

"You!" Ji Anjun was speechless for a moment.

Who said he was dull, he obviously spoke very smoothly.

The story of Xiao Yizhi's assassination in Shangzunlou quickly spread in the court hall. This distinguished guest from Beili solved the case for Gao An but was assassinated in Gao An. It was in the face of King Gao An when he said it. She slapped two mouths!

Of course Yu Linmuqing was not the only one who knew about this matter, Qu Shi got the news that night.

Xiao Yi's martial arts is quite high, it is difficult to fight against, and he returned without success.

It was the first time that Ghost Shadow Hall couldn't win the target since it started the mission, and that was it.The killer in the hall can use all his strength for a target task, so for a hundred years, as long as the employer can afford it, the ghost shadow hall can take on no matter how difficult the target is, without exception.

That's how it got the title of "The Top of the World's Ghost Shadow Ranking", which refers to the ranking of the world's killers, as well as the ranking of killers inside the Ghost Shadow Hall, which is the real number one killer in the world.

But such a ghost hall, except for exceptions, is a person who can't be killed, or this person's martial arts has surpassed all killers, or he is someone who can't even offend ghost shadow hall.

When Qu received the news, her face was full of astonishment and shock. She didn't believe that there were still people in this world that ten people from Ghost Shadow Hall could not deal with together. It was really unbelievable.

And in the Shangzun building at this time——

Yu Linyuan brought a cart full of wound medicine and supplements, and called two young men to carry the boxes and go in.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Xiao. It was Gao An's negligence that he was assassinated in Gao An." Yu Linyuan sat by the bed, looked at Xiao Yizhi whose face was a little pale, and apologized.

Xiao Yizhi shook his head lightly, smiled lightly, and replied, "Even I would never have guessed that someone was going to kill me, let alone you who didn't know about it."

"My lord, don't blame yourself too much. Yizhi and I have traveled around in the past year. Maybe we have formed a relationship with others elsewhere, so don't take it to heart." Ji Anjun stood aside, looking Looking at Yu Linyuan's expression, he said lightly.

"Although that's the case, something happened to me in Gao'an after all, and the security of this upper building must be carefully managed." Yu Linyuan glanced at Ji Anjun and said in a daze.

Take care of law and order?If you want to come, you want to watch us.

As Ji Anjun thought about it, a contemptuous smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

"My lord insists on this, so I have nothing to say, but my lord doesn't need to bring so many things here." Xiao Yizhi glanced at the floor of the room that was filled with medicine, feeling a little helpless.

"It's my wish, so you accept it." Yu Linyuan glanced at things and said indifferently.

Immediately, Yu Linyuan's eyes caught a glimpse of a screen with a moon-white girdle hanging on it. He remembered the first time he saw Ji Anjun in Dongyang Prefecture. This girdle was tied around his waist, but what happened to this girdle? Appeared in Xiao Yizhi's room?

"Thank you, my lord." Xiao Yizhi nodded slightly and replied respectfully.

After exchanging some greetings, Yu Linyuan got up and left Shangzunlou.

"Yizhi, you really have a good hand." Ji Anjun looked at the things on the ground and sighed.

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhi got up and got out of bed, walked slowly to the box, reached out to pick up a bottle, sniffed it, and said, "This is very good, keep it."

"King Chen Yang's things are certainly not bad." Ji Anjun said with a light smile.

At night, in Mufu——

Only one oil lamp was lit among the servants. Rong Chizi was wearing a thin coat with loose black hair, holding a jug in one hand and a wine glass in the other, drinking sips, thinking deeply about Xiao Yi's injuries. news of death.

According to Ghost Shadow Hall's ability, it should not be difficult to kill this Xiao Yi.Four years ago, when he assassinated the leader of the killers, he used forty killers. No matter how good his martial arts skills were, Xiao Yi should be able to take him down. Could it be that those killers couldn't do it at all?

After thinking about it, Rong Chizi really couldn't think of a reason, but the only thing that gave him a little comfort was finding out the identity of Mr. Ande.

King Gaoyang of Beili, Lord Ji An.

It was extremely tricky, if he was a little careless, he would involve the mighty Beili country, even if his identity was not revealed at that time, he would be the one to blame, trapped in Gao'an, and fought against Beili.

"Mu Qi!" Yu Linyuan called softly from behind.

Ke Rong Chizi didn't seem to hear it, he was still pacing back and forth, lowering his head and thinking about something.

Seeing that the man didn't respond, Yu Linyuan frowned and stepped forward, embracing him from behind, rubbing his neck back and forth.

Rong Chizi only reacted when he felt a warm chest pressed against his back.

"Why are you drinking?" Yu Linyuan asked.

"Drink as much as you want." Rong Chizi replied without thinking, while picking up the jug to fill the glass with wine, and handing it to the person behind.

Yu Linyuan reached out to take the wine glass, raised his head and drank it down, licked his lips, then lowered his head and pecked lightly behind Rong Chizi's ear.

"Today, I went to see him." Yu Linyuan said in his ear.

Hearing this, Rong Chizi paused in his heart, but he said, "The noble guest from another country was assassinated in my Gao'an. As a prince, you must go to visit."

"But he is also my own brother." Yu Linyuan responded, and then said, "Today I saw his face pale, with a white note on his arm, and a little blood on it, and I felt a little soft-hearted."

Hearing this, Rong Chizi's breath stopped, he broke away from him and turned around, looking at the person in front of him intently, as if he wanted to make sure that the person in front of him was Yu Linyuan, not someone else pretending to be.

"Do you know that your soft heart will give you a fatal blow." Rong Chizi said firmly, with a sneer in his eyes.

Yu Linyuan looked into Rong Chizi's eyes, sighed and said, "I know, the way I see him today, he is really not a man of schemes, the way he looks at me, he is just a young man with a pure heart, How do you tell me to have the heart to kill him?"

"My lord, but there is Mr. An De beside him." Rong Chizi narrowed his eyes and reminded.

"So what?" Yu Linyuan asked back.

"How? He is Ji Anjun, the king of Gaoyang in Beili. Do you think Yu Linze will still be innocent with such a person by his side?" Rong Chizi said slowly, and then asked Yu Linyuan.

Hearing Rong Chizi's words, Yu Linyuan frowned involuntarily, took a deep breath, and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"My lord thinks, will Yu Linze follow Ji Anjun back to Beili Kingdom, or stay in Gao'an to fight for the throne?" Rong Chizi looked at him and asked.

Yu Linyuan pondered for a moment, but did not answer directly, but said, "Today I saw Ji Anjun's girdle hanging in Yu Linze's room. If you care about his injuries, you may not necessarily live in the same room."

"If Yu Linze stays, Lord Ji An must do his best to help. In the future when Lord Ji An succeeds, the two countries will join hands to rule the world. If he follows Lord Ji An back to Beili, he must be his right-hand man. The prince thinks, what will Mu Qi do? What about it?" Rong Chizi slowly explained the pros and cons, and then asked him back.

Hearing this, Yu Linyuan took a deep breath, raised his head and closed his eyes, and opened them slowly after a while.

"Mu Qi, you know, sometimes I'm really tired." Yu Linyuan sighed.

tired?Why am I not?

Rong Chizi laughed at himself, and slowly approached Yu Linyuan.

"My lord, hold on a little longer." Rong Chizi looked at him and said softly.

"Mu Qi, can you give me a hug?" Yu Linyuan looked at Rong Chizi, with a hint of begging in his tone.

Hearing this, Rong Chizi stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.

And Yu Linyuan seemed a little anxious, stretched out his hand to embrace him in his arms, resting his chin on his shoulder.

"Could you stop being so distant from me?" he asked.

"My lord, don't be attached to me." Rong Chizi suddenly replied coldly.

"I'm just obsessed with you! I'm just obsessed with you! So what!" Yu Linyuan roared suddenly, reached out and grabbed Rong Chizi's arms, forcing him to look at him.

Being yelled at, Rong Chizi frowned, unable to express what was in his mind.

How can he get back to him?

"Can you, don't always push me away." Yu Linyuan asked.

Rong Chizi was satisfied, and replied, "I didn't push you away."

"I'm talking about your heart, don't push me away, okay?" Yu Linyuan stared into his eyes and said in an almost begging tone.

"I……"

At this moment, Rong Chizi finally felt a bit of a breakdown. He looked at Yu Linyuan's eyes full of obsession and pleading, and his eyes turned red. He faltered, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing Rong Chizi's hesitation, Yu Linyuan felt ecstasy in his heart, and continued to ask, "Don't you, don't want to do that?"

"I..." Rong Chizi lowered his head, not daring to look up.

"Aren't you also pleased with me?" Yu Linyuan continued to ask.

"I...I don't know..."

"You care about me, do you or don't you?"

"I……"

"I beg you, can you tell me your heart?"

Hearing this, Rong Chizi raised his head to stare into his eyes, and pursed his lips.

After a while, he spoke.

"I think I should care."
