The whole cultivation world regards me as a group favorite [Crossing Books]

After several negotiations, Tao Lizheng and his party finally carried Tao Lizong onto the boat.

The banquet in the cabin had already been set up, Ye Huaiyao was the only one sitting at the head seat, and Zhushuang was pouring the wine next to her, when she saw Tao Lizheng, she timidly hid behind Ye Huaiyao, but then her eyes fell on Tao Lizheng Li Zong body.

Apart from these two, there were no other guards.

Ye Huaiyao was so magnanimous that the Tao family who followed in suspiciously couldn't bear it.

Zhao Songyang felt ashamed, and thought to himself that it was fortunate that he didn't bring more people up, otherwise the Tao family's face would really have no place to put it.

Ye Huaiyao got up and said with a smile: "All honored guests have agreed to the appointment, I am honored to do so, please."

In this short period of time, he had already changed into a light yellow gown, with a palm-width white jade belt around his waist, other than that, he had no other decorations.

But this kind of color, but it set off the already beautiful appearance even more, and it really looked like a son of a family.

Tao Lizheng didn't smile, since he came here, he was always on full alert.

His sharp eyes swept Ye Huaiyao up and down, and he cupped his hands just now, and said, "My dear brother, you are welcome. Speaking of meeting, I haven't asked your name yet, it's really rude."

Ye Huaiyao said: "My surname is Ye."

He raised his hand as he spoke, and the two sat opposite each other.Although Tao Lizong was still in a coma, he was pushed to the front of the table.

Ye Huaiyao looked at Tao Lizong, and even glanced at the two guards behind him, smiled, rolled up his sleeves himself, and served a bowl of soup from the side.

He said: "Eldest Young Master is unable to eat due to his current physical condition, so please have some soup."

The guard behind Tao Lizong reached out to pick it up, and Ye Huaiyao said, "Be careful." Then he handed the bowl to him.

Obviously it was just an action of serving soup, but when he made it, he was able to perform at a high level, elegant and comfortable, smiling and talking to the guard, as if the other party was also his best friend, caring, warm and easy-going.

The affinity for this person is really too strong, when he lowered his eyebrows slightly, the light and shadow danced on his curly eyelashes, and that dream-like sense of familiarity flooded his heart again.

Tao Lizheng's mind flickered, he always felt that he must have met the other party somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything.

He suppressed his chaotic thoughts, ignored Zhao Songyang's eyes, took a sip from his wine glass, and said, "Young Master Ye, Tao has a quick temper. He came to this boat at your invitation today, so he can speak directly."

Ye Huaiyao had already lifted up his chopsticks, but upon hearing what the other party said, he paused for a moment, then put them down again, and said, "Please speak."

Tao Lizheng didn't pay attention to his eyes that were reluctantly glued to a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks, or even if he saw it, it was impossible for him to think that such a person was actually a foodie.

He directly asked what he was most concerned about: "Why did you specially ask me to bring my brother here? Is his illness related to you?"

"You can say yes, or you can say no."

Ye Huaiyao took a sip of his wine and said, "I know the benefactor that Miss Zhushuang mentioned." He tilted his head and smiled at Zhushuang, "It's 'Master Yan'."

No one could have imagined that there was such a relationship between Ye Huaiyao and this matter, and the people around were all surprised.

Zhushuang stood by the side, and retreated after pouring wine for them, watching Tao Lizong furtively.

Attracted by Ye Huaiyao's words, she said in astonishment: "You said that Yan Ye who asked the slave's family to make a wish after being drunk?"

Ye Huaiyao said: "That's right. He is naturally fond of gambling, but his luck is not very good. He has repeatedly gambled and lost, and ended up in your brothel. One day, he started to win for no reason. It is precisely because of this that he put down I came to ask you to make a wish, and said that any wish can be fulfilled, right?"

Zhushuang nodded blankly, not knowing what all this was related to.

However, Tao Lizheng heard some clues from the side, his eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "So, the fact that Yan's winning money should be the same reason as Zhushuang's being able to marry into Tao's family?"

Ye Huaiyao said: "From what I know so far, maybe that's the case."

Tao Lizheng paused, "Where is that man?"

Ye Huaiyao casually glanced out the window, the lights flickered in the night, the ship was moving steadily, and a little white mist rose slowly from the center of the river.

He swung his wine glass and replied, "He is already dead. I bet with him and won him, so I died suddenly."

He didn't mention all the details, but the matter is indeed such a process.

Tao Lizheng frowned deeply. At this time, Zhao Songyang said beside him: "Mr. Ye, I have a few words here. I don't know if I can say them."

He is also an official disciple of the Tao family, not an ordinary guard, so he also sat on the table.

Ye Huaiyao said with a smile: "I said no, it doesn't seem appropriate, please tell me."

Zhao Songyang said: "Until now, we don't know anything about your identity, origin, and purpose. We only listened to your one-sided statement without evidence for a long time. After all, even the person you said you knew has already passed away." There is no proof of death, and how can people believe that you have no other intentions?"

Ye Huaiyao said "Oh": "Then what do you think my dear brother thinks I will have?"

Zhao Songyang said nonchalantly: "Your Excellency is so unpredictable, it's hard to say. But you broke into Tao's house privately, took away Zhushuang, and said these unfounded words to confuse the public, there is no way you have any good intentions!" maybe--"

He was just about to say, maybe Tao Lizong was murdered by Ye Huaiyao, before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a heavy "boom" from the outside of the ship's plank, as if someone had hit the ship's plank with an oar.

This force of knocking went straight into the inner cabin along the plank of the ship, and the cups and plates on the table shook. There was no serious problem in front of others, but it happened that Zhao Songyang's wine glass jumped up from the table, and half of the remaining wine was poured on his. In front of the lapel, not a single drop was wasted.

Zhao Songyang's skill is not bad, he quickly blocked it with his hands, but he didn't block it, he jumped up with an "ah", and said angrily, "what are you doing!"

Only a person outside the cabin laughed loudly and said: "Brother, my son has a noble status, please be polite when speaking to him. Otherwise, even if you are open-minded and don't care about it, we subordinates should take it into consideration."

The speaker was Zhan Yu.

It's okay that the Tao family is famous and upright, but Zhushuang's matter was unpredictable, so he was worried, so he stayed on Ye Huaiyao's boat and acted as the boatman himself.

Hearing Zhao Songyang's insulting words to his senior brother, Zhan Yu couldn't bear it, so he immediately took a small punishment.

At this time, their boat had rowed farther and farther, leaving the tourists on the other side of the shore, and arrived in the middle of the empty lake, so they had no more scruples.

Zhan Yu's voice was loud and clear, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a knocking sound from other boats around him.

The spiritual breath oscillated from the lake surface, causing the water to ding-dong, as if echoing it.

Seeing such a battle, even though he was annoyed by the fact that his clothes were splashed wet just now, Zhao Songyang still couldn't help but his face changed color, and he felt a little panic.

He couldn't help but glanced at Ye Huaiyao again, secretly speculating about the background of the other party, who was so full of stars.

——Looking at his appearance and temperament, could it be that he is a prince and grandson who was sent out from some country to study art?

Ye Huaiyao put one hand on the table and leaned against the window to hold the wine, still in a very relaxed posture. Seeing Zhao Songyang looking over, he held up the wine glass and saluted him, and said with a smile:

"The family members are too concerned, please don't blame me for being rude and offended. In fact, you are so anxious, it must be because you care about Mr. Tao, it is also human nature, don't take it to heart."

Although Tao Lizheng's temper is stubborn and violent, he is not a brainless person. Every sentence of Ye Huaiyao's words has deep meaning, even if it is not true, there is a lot of room for deliberation.

He was listening intently, but when Zhao Songyang interrupted him, he also felt that his brother's behavior was inappropriate, but he didn't speak out to blame because he only cared about his face in front of outsiders.

But the last two words Ye Huaiyao said made Tao Lizheng feel strange again.

He frowned, raised his hand at Zhao Songyang, stopped his next words, and asked Ye Huaiyao: "Now that Yan Kang is dead, my brother is unconscious, and Zhushuang only knows superficially about this matter. All the clues are broken, I don't know if Mr. Ye deliberately mentioned it, is there any other deep meaning?"

Hearing his question, Ye Huaiyao suddenly turned his head to look at Zhu Shuang, and was slightly startled by Zhu Shuang.

He said to Tao Lizheng: "Second Young Master Tao, you always wonder why Zhushuang was able to marry into the Tao family. But have you ever thought about why Zhushuang has already been driven away? Are you still losing money?"

Of course Tao Lizheng had thought about this point, but all kinds of doubts could be explained by the five words "Zushuang's sorcery", so he didn't think about it any further.Hearing Ye Huaiyao specifically mention it at this time, it was obvious that he had some deep meaning.

Tao Lizheng said: "What do you mean?"

Ye Huaiyao said: "These days, I have been thinking about a question, that is, what price these wishers paid. I noticed it when I gambled with Yan Kang. Every time he wins the bet, he must All the bets were obtained, and I was thinking at that time, could those prizes be what he wanted to give away?"

Yan Kang obviously has no shortage of money, but every time he wins a bet, he will definitely ask the loser to give back all the betting money. No matter how troublesome it is, he is not allowed to replace it with other things.

This strange phenomenon aroused Ye Huaiyao's suspicion at that time.

But after Yan Kang died, he had no place to ask for verification, so he could only keep his doubts in his heart for the time being.

It wasn't until this time that I heard about Zhushuang that this idea resurfaced.

Ye Huaiyao said to Zhan Yu, "Why did Zhushuang marry into the Tao family?" He just wanted to know what she wanted to get.

If you want wealth and magic artifacts, then you have to think about the reason for Tao Lizong's consumption of Jingyuan from this direction, so Ye Huaiyao has always felt that he can't figure it out.

It wasn't until the time when Tao's family boarded the boat that he saw Zhushuang nervously looking at Tao Lizong, and suddenly woke up.

It turned out that I made the whole thing complicated. What this seemingly cunning and eloquent brothel woman wants is actually very simple.

——She just really likes Tao Lizong.

Because I like this person, the price I pay after making a wish is also this person.Zhushuang is not the only one Tao Lizong wants to accompany.

It can be seen from this that the whole thing should be that the aspirants make a wish to a certain evil god or something else, and the evil god will take part of what they get in return while fulfilling their wish.

Once the wishes finally come to nothing due to external intervention, it is not the evil gods who help them realize their wishes who are punished. Instead, the wishers lose their use value and can no longer make offerings, so they will even die of madness.

The whole thing had such bizarre twists and turns that it was almost unheard of.

Tao Lizheng was very surprised when he heard Ye Huaiyao's brief words, but he had to believe it.

Zhao Songyang said: "This is simply a faction..."

Before he could say the word "nonsense", Zhan Yu coughed outside.

Zhao Songyang: "..."

Forget, this one is still a noble person.

Tao Lizheng said impatiently: "Brother Zhao, since you can't come up with any constructive opinions, please stop talking."

After he finished speaking, he ignored Zhao Songyang, and turned to ask Zhushuang who was also stunned beside him: "How many times a month do you and my elder brother share the same room, why don't you tell the truth?"

It may be embarrassing to ask this question in public, but now no one cares about it, Zhushuang said: "In the beginning, almost every day... But after about ten days of marriage, my husband said that there are many affairs in the mansion, and every now and then I will Overnight in the study."

As she talked, she understood, her expression changed from bewildered at the beginning to gloomy: "Because there are no other concubines in the mansion, and besides that, he has always been as warm and considerate to me as ever, and I don't have much Thinking... Could it be, could it be..."

Zhushuang raised her head, looked at the unconscious Tao Lizong, and said loudly: "But how is it possible? If he meets with other people privately in the study room every night, there are night guards and guards outside. Guard, how can you not know?"

Up and down the Tao family, even the maidservants have some meager spiritual power. If there is any movement in Tao Lizong's study, the guards outside may ignore it once or twice, but if it happens every night, no one will notice.

Tao Lizheng's complexion has become ugly: "The eldest brother fell into a coma later, and my mother asked the servants several times to find out if there was any abnormality, and no one mentioned it."

Ye Huaiyao said: "Could it be that brother Ling set up an enchantment in the study?"

Tao Lizheng said in a deep voice: "Tao's family rules, the study is a place to study and practice, there is nothing that cannot be shown to others, so you can't set up a barrier privately."

The Xuantian Building also has similar rules. When studying, one cannot create a barrier from inside, but——

Ye Huaiyao said with a smile: "That is to say, someone can set up an enchantment outside?"

Tao Lizheng didn't answer, but turned to look at Zhao Songyang.

Zhao Songyang listened to the two of them talking, and he couldn't speak again. He was worried at first, but when he met Tao Lizheng's cold gaze, he couldn't help sweating slightly on his back, and said nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"

Tao Lizheng said: "Brother Zhao, you entered Tao's house before my elder brother and I were born. Over the years, you have won the trust of your parents. You are responsible for the patrolling and guarding of the mansion. Later, elder brother's health is getting worse day by day. Decline, I remember that the senior brother personally protected him outside—isn’t that right?”

Zhao Songyang reacted very quickly, and said calmly: "It is true. It is because I was guarding the outside in person, but did not notice any movement in the study, that I suspected that Mr. Ye's words were not true. Now it seems that this matter may There’s something weird about it.”

He was able to come up with such a brilliant answer in just a moment, and he was able to give it back. It not only explained Cai Cai's gaffe, but also connoted Ye Huaiyao by the way. It can be said to be the best on-the-spot response. Ye Huaiyao wanted to praise the other party up.

It's a pity that Tao Lizheng is not an idiot. In order to prevent Ye Huaiyao from directing everyone's thoughts to the guards inside the Tao family, Zhao Songyang interrupted him several times, which already seemed too impatient and aroused his suspicion.

Now even if the other party's explanation is perfect, the suspicion has finally been planted.

Tao Lizheng said: "Really? But I remember that Senior Brother Zhao has a good relationship with Third Brother in recent years."

Zhao Songyang's heart sank, and he thought to himself, it's over.

The head of the Tao family, that is, Tao Lizheng's father, has five children in total, among which the eldest son, second son and youngest daughter are all born to his wife, Madam Changhong.Only the third son was picked up from outside, and he was only three months younger than Tao Lizheng.

In addition, there is a young son in swaddling, which is almost negligible.

What Tao Lizheng was talking about was his third brother who was a concubine.

The relationship between the eldest son and the concubine was originally delicate. Someone told him before that when he saw Zhao Songyang interacting with the third young master, Tao Lizheng thought that they were brothers from the same school.

What I suspected before was some kind of conspiracy by Ye Huaiyao, but the whole thing got messed up and brought out the internal struggle of the Tao family itself, which is really embarrassing.

Seeing that Zhao Songyang didn't speak, Tao Lizheng slammed his hand on the table in a rage, and shouted, "Tell me, are you colluding with the third child, deliberately not reporting the knowledge, and intending to kill the eldest brother!"

Zhao Songyang was shocked, took a step forward, and said anxiously: "Junior brother, how can you be so suspicious of me, I—"

Ye Huaiyao's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he raised his glass to his lips, and said like gossiping and laughing: "Yo, be careful."

Accompanied by his words, when Zhao Songyang said the word "I", his expression suddenly changed, he opened his mouth, and a silver needle spewed out of his mouth!

The silver needle flew into the air, and when Zhao Songyang's two fingers were pressed together a little, it turned into ten and ten into hundreds in an instant.Surrounding Tao Lizheng in the middle, it seemed that they were going to form a strange array of needles.

With Ye Huaiyao's reminder before him, Tao Lizheng also reacted very quickly. He raised the plate in front of him and threw it forward like a dart. It was the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks.

A few silver needles were stuck on the fish stick, before the formation was completed, it landed first, and Zhao Songyang's sneak attack failed.

The smile on Ye Huaiyao's lips also froze.

Tao Lizheng also felt that it was outrageous to fight among others on his boat, but the current situation did not give him a choice. Seeing that Zhao Songyang missed his shot, he recited the formula and threw two talismans towards him again.

A ferocious animal head appeared on the talisman, with a stern look, as if it wanted to devour someone.

Tao Lizheng unsheathed his long sword with a "wipe", and pierced into the head of the beast, fighting with each other with dazzling sparks.

Fortunately, the night was getting dark and the tourists were returning home one after another, and they were in the depths of the empty lake. Otherwise, the movement would probably scare ordinary people to death.

The two brothers and sisters felt numbness in their arms at the same time, jumped back at the same time, and then threw themselves into a ball, only to hear "Dang Dang Dang" in succession, the two were originally from the same school, and in an instant, the number of moves in the fight was over. Pass.

The atmosphere in the cabin was originally peaceful, but suddenly, there was a fight.

The disciples of the Xuantian Building on the surrounding boats were very nervous and surrounded them one after another, but seeing Zhan Yu calmly standing at the top of the tree and waving at them, they all returned to their original positions.

Zhan Yu lowered his oars, and Shi Shiran flashed into the cabin from the shadow of swords and swords.

I saw that Zhao Songyang and Tao Lizheng were still fighting lively, but Ye Huaiyao didn't hide, he just protected the pale Zhushuang behind him.The ends of his clothes and hair danced in the strong wind that intersected with spiritual breaths, looking sophisticated and unrestrained.

It's a pity that Ye Huaiyao's eyes were only fixed on the table in front of him, and his expression was inexplicably sad.

Zhan Yu said: "Why, this table has become a master, and is it an old lover that I haven't seen for many years?"

"That plate of sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks is a famous local dish..."

Ye Huaiyao ignored Hui Zhanyu's teasing, and said sadly:

"I just wanted to eat that. I wanted to pick it up just now. Tao Lizheng had to talk to me, which made me feel embarrassed to do it. I just watched it get colder and colder. In the end, I didn't take a bite, so I asked them to buckle it. Yes! If you want to block a hidden weapon, isn’t there a plate of pig’s trotters next to it?”

Zhan Yu covered his face and said, "Stop talking... No, you must not let them know your identity and sect for a while, understand?!"

Tao Lizheng was unexpectedly betrayed by his senior brother. He was full of anger and his sword was like a rainbow, but during the hard fight, Ye Huaiyao's words inevitably reached his ears.

Tao Lizheng: "..."

He slipped and just stepped on the vegetable soup of sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks, and almost sent his head to Zhao Songyang's dagger. Although he dodged it urgently, with his superb reflexes, he was still in a cold sweat from fright.

Tao Lizheng slashed at Zhao Songyang with a backhand sword, and at the same time said angrily: "Don't talk about it! There is a famous chef in my family who specializes in this dish, can I pay you ten dishes when I go back?"

Ye Huaiyao said: "I will remember what you said."

Tao Lizheng: "Hmph!"

When they were fighting, Ye Huaiyao watched by himself, and did not order the people from Xuantianlou to fight, just because it was an internal conflict of the Tao family.

When Tao Lizheng didn't ask for help, if he meddled in his own business, a single carelessness would cause trouble in vain.

But it's normal for the people in Xuantian Tower not to take action, and it would be too much for Tao's own so many guards to stand by and watch.

Tao Lizheng said loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and take down the traitor Zhao Songyang!"

When he said this, the people around finally moved, but they all rushed towards Tao Lizheng.

Another person was clever, with a flash in his eyes, he jumped in front of the unconscious Tao Lizong, picked him up, and wanted to threaten Tao Lizheng with this.

It turned out that the people who boarded the boat were all arranged by Zhao Songyang in advance!

They made up their minds from the very beginning, to use this incident to wipe out Tao Lizong and Tao Lizheng brothers.

This time Tao Lizheng brought some of his disciples as guards, but those who were arranged to go on board with him were all Zhao Songyang's designs.

Now, the only variable in his plan is probably Ye Huaiyao.
