This seat is a villain

When Yanqing entered the door, he saw Lin Jinhuan reading the letter under the lamp, his expression was serious, and his brows were tightly knitted.

Yan Qing's heart trembled, and he quickly asked: "What happened?"

"Nothing." Lin Jinhuan put down the letter and stuffed it into a medical book.

Afterwards, Yanqing chattered on and on beside him, and Lin Jinhuan didn't listen to a word. He kept thinking about the content of the letter in his mind.

Before he went down the mountain, he sent two disciples to the capital to secretly investigate Xue Yao's origin.These two disciples visited Xue's residence unannounced for more than half a month in the capital, but found nothing.Xue Yao's background is as simple and clean as he himself said, and he is the fourth son of the Xue family, a wealthy businessman in the capital.

Until one day they inadvertently eavesdropped on the wall between Master Xue and his wife.

Mr. Xue has a romantic nature, and there is one wife and three wives in the room.These four wives are all beautiful, and the most favored among them is the third-ranked Mrs. Yu. This Mrs. Yu is Xue Si's biological mother.The Xue family has a big business, and as several children grow up, they gradually begin to face the problem of property inheritance, so the open and secret struggles between the various houses have intensified.

The third son Xue is the eldest son of Mrs. Li. Although he has a high status, he has been arrogant, extravagant and lustful since he was a child, and eventually he grew up to be an ignorant dude in the capital.On the other hand, the sons of the other wives, all of them are handsome and talented, the first one is Mrs. Yu's fourth son, Xue Yao, who is the most loved by Mr. Xue.

The eldest lady couldn't sit still anymore, because of this matter, she had a quarrel with Master Xue.The two had been arguing for several months, until this day, Master Xue couldn't bear it anymore, and finally had to tell his wife a big secret.

Xue Si was lost when he was young, and he was not found again until he was a teenager. After listening to the words of the charlatan, Master Xue changed his name to "Yao." Everyone in the mansion knows this.Today, master Xue Yao told his wife that his lost and found "son" was not the son of him and the Yu family, but someone else who replaced Xue Si's identity.

Mrs. Li only felt that this matter was too absurd, and she must break the casserole and ask the end.Master Xue interrupted Li's questioning, and said: "You don't need to ask more about the specific reasons, I am just entrusted by others to be loyal." According to rumors, in the future, I will avoid troubles for A Yao. He can't stay in the mansion for many days a year, and he won't hinder your eyes."

No wonder his identity was found to be flawless in the initial investigation, and he successfully slipped through Lin Chao's eyeliner.Lin Jinhuan thought, it turned out that it was a trick to steal the sky and change the sky.

Lin Jinhuan thought of the map of Jiutianmen in Xue Yao's bag, and had some thoughts in his heart.He suddenly asked Yanqing a question: "Have any letters between Ayao and Jiutianmen been checked?"

"Eh?" Yan Qing was speaking dryly, seeing Lin Jinhuan suddenly asked such an irrelevant question, he was a little surprised and asked: "There are all inspections, why?"

Lin Jinhuan did not answer Yanqing's question, but continued to ask: "Is there anything unusual?"

"It's just gossip, nothing unusual." At this moment, even Yan Qing realized that something was wrong, he stopped talking, and the two fell into a strange silence at the same time.

After a while, Lin Jinhuan said, "Get ready, we will leave for Mount Jialou in three days."

Yan Qing was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "But Xue Yao is not awake yet."

"It's okay." Lin Jinhuan spread out a piece of paper, lowered his head and wrote on the paper: "I asked Grand Master, A Yao's body has recovered, and then he can wake up naturally."

Yan Qing asked puzzledly: "Since that's the case, why didn't you wait for him to wake up before going back together?"

Because he won't go back to Mount Jialou when he wakes up, Lin Jinhuan thought in his heart.Right now there is no other evidence that Xue Yao has other plans. He doesn't want to misunderstand Xue Yao because of unwarranted guesses, and he doesn't want to let the tiger go back and put Jiutianmen in danger.The only option is to take him back to Jialou Mountain and make a plan after careful investigation.

"Don't ask too much, just do it." Lin Jinhuan handed the written letter to Yanqing, and ordered: "Let Kang Hui take this letter back to Qi Ying and Wen Qiaohe."

Yanqing took the letter paper and found that there was only one sentence on the paper:

Strengthen the guards and re-arm.

Three days later, Lin Jinhuan and his party set off on time to leave the Valley of Witch Doctors.Not long after the group set off, Xue Yao disappeared out of thin air after a blizzard.

"I'll send someone to look for it immediately." Yan Qing said anxiously.

"There's no need to look for it." Lin Jinhuan looked around the empty room, then turned his head to look at the snow outside the window, and said, "He has already left."

**

Xue Yao knew he was dreaming, and he had been dreaming for a long time.There are all kinds of dreams, and there are everything in the dream.

It's just that today's dream is extraordinarily real.

He dreamed that he and Lin Jinhuan had returned to Guanqiao Village when they first met. At this time, the village had been engulfed in a fire, with thick smoke billowing into the sky, and mutilated corpses everywhere.

By the way, this should be the night when the two of them met Zhai Xidong. More than 200 people in the whole village died at the hands of Zhai Xidong.

At that time, Xue Yao only wanted to kill that thief Zhai Xidong to avenge the whole village. Now that he faced this situation again, Lin Jinhuan's silent back made him feel a tingling pain in his chest belatedly.

"Lin Jinhuan." Xue Yao called him involuntarily.

Lin Jinhuan turned around and looked back at Xue Yao, his eyes shone with red flames, as if they were flames from hell.

Xue Yao was slightly taken aback, as if he had forgotten that he was dreaming at the moment.

Lin Jinhuan held a knife in one hand and was covered in blood.The knife in his hand was the unknown Wu that Xue Yao gave him.Lin Jinhuan's clothes left long bloodstains on the ground, and he approached Xue Yao step by step.

"How did the Jiutianmen treat you, and how did you deal with us?"

"Xue Yao, don't you have a heart?"

Xue Yao was speechless for a moment, it was true that he lied to him, plotted against him, and harmed him.

Lin Jinhuan came to Xue Yao, and gently raised his hand to caress Xue Yao's face. His cold fingers caressed Xue Yao's face, and slowly followed his cheeks to his neck.

Xue Yao was forced to raise his head and look straight into his eyes.

Lin Jinhuan's eyes gradually became cruel and crazy, he grabbed Xue Yao's throat hard, and pushed him against the tree.

Lin Jinhuan leaned over and looked into Xue Yao's eyes and said softly:

"I will never forgive you."

Then Xue Yao woke up.

Xue Yao opened his eyes and met Xiao Pei's face.For a moment, Xue Yao almost thought he was dead, and met Xiao Pei underground.

Xiao Pei was also taken aback by Xue Yao's sudden awakening. He patted his chest and said, "My lord, you are finally awake!"

Seeing that Xue Yao didn't say a word, Xiao Pei just looked at him strangely, and asked puzzledly, "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Xue Yao came back to his senses, and his head became clearer in an instant. He realized that he was in his own mansion in the capital.

"Why am I here?" Xue Yao opened the quilt and sat up, raised his eyes and looked around. The decorations in the room remained as they were before.

"Of course I brought you back in person." Xiao Pei took a step back and said angrily, "You sent a message that you would go down the mountain on the third day after the winter solstice, so I sent someone to the post station to prepare for it." Xiao Pei paused, and continued: "Who knows that I haven't seen you after waiting for fifteen days in a row."

Xue Yao rubbed his head, turned over and got out of bed, and asked vaguely: "There was an accident at that time."

Isn't that right, Xiao Pei rolled his eyes a little bit, and was sent to the Valley of Witch Doctors for rescue, maybe there was a "slight" accident.

"Later, the Xue family sent a letter saying that an unknown person was secretly investigating your identity." Xiao Pei continued: "We caught two people from the Jiutianmen in the Xue family. After interrogation, we learned that Lin Jinhuan already knew that he was not the fourth son of the Xue family. Incidentally, I also learned that you were being sent to the Valley of Witch Doctors because of serious injuries."

Xue Yao remembered the secret passage in Lianxitang earlier, and it turned out that the hasty descent down the mountain was to send him to the Valley of Witch Doctors.The witch doctor Gu actually intervened in this matter, no wonder he still survived.

Xue Yao asked: "What about the two people from the Nine Heavens Sect?"

Xue Yao remembered Lin Jinhuan's alienated attitude towards him some time before going down the mountain. It seems that his guess was right. Lin Jinhuan had doubts about his identity at that time.

"Dead." Xiao Pei went on to say: "After learning the news that you were in the Witch Doctor Valley, I took people to guard the only way out of the valley, and then I met Lin Jinhuan and brought you out. I want to go back to Jialou Mountain. I thought that if you go up to Jialou Mountain again this time, you probably won’t be able to come back, so I stopped you on the way.”

"Well done." Xue Yao praised Xiao Pei sincerely on the face, but felt a little upset in his heart, he came to the window and pushed it open.

"Lin Jinhuan is not weak in martial arts, how did you intercept me from him, and what kind of conflict did you have?" Xue Yao asked with his back to Xiao Pei.

"Don't forget that the Privy Council has hundreds of anesthetics alone." Xiao Pei said with self-deprecation: "The method is disgraceful, but there was no other way under the circumstances."

Xue Yao quietly looked at a red plum in the garden outside the window, without saying a word.

After a while, Xue Yao said, "The matter of Jiutianmen can't be delayed any longer."

As he said this, the words that Lin Jinhuan questioned him in his dream emerged in his mind.

so what.Xue Yao thought, some things he did, he just did, and he never expected Lin Jinhuan to forgive him.

"Today afternoon, call the Privy Council officials above to discuss matters in the study." Xue Yao ordered in a cold voice.

Xiao Pei came up from behind, stretched out his hand to close the window in front of Xue Yao involuntarily, and said helplessly, "Master Young Envoy, I beg you to put away your supernatural powers quickly. You are here to do your best before you are out of breath." Pushing Xue Yao back on the bed: "Don't forget that your memorial tablet is still enshrined in the Privy Council."

That's right, Xue Yao was ambushed by Li Yun last year, Xiao Pei spread the news of Xue Yao's "death" after he was seriously injured, and he himself stayed at Jiutianmen.

Thinking of Jiutianmen, Xue Yao began to feel irritated again for no reason.At this moment, his inner mansion is full of spiritual power, his meridians are smooth, and his whole body feels comfortable like he hasn't experienced in a long time.Although Xue Yao never mentioned it to Lin Jinhuan after being injured, Xue Yao knew in his heart that most of his visits were bad luck.

I don't know what method Lin Jinhuan used to pull him back from the ghost gate.

After the morning court the next day, the emperor's father-in-law Dechang personally came to summon Xue Yao into the palace.Xue Yao changed his clothes and entered the palace swaggeringly with Eunuch Dechang.

At the gate of the palace, Xue Yao saw Tang Qi, Li Yun's confidant, was walking across the Baiyu Bridge, Xue Yao stopped, and cupped his hands at Tang Qi from a distance.When Tang Qi saw Xue Yao, he was so frightened that he almost sprained his feet on the steps, thinking that he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"Am I so scary?" Xue Yao asked the father-in-law Dechang who was walking in front.

The father-in-law turned around and said with a smile, "Don't forget that last year the Holy Majesty personally wrote the obituary for you."

Xue Yao smiled, revealing his white face, and said, "That's true."

Eunuch Dechang sent Xue Yao to the door of the upper study room and stopped.Xue Yao bowed his hands to his father-in-law and walked into the hall by himself.The little emperor Qi Min is only in his early twenties, and looks like a young man.At this time, he had just come to court, and he had not even changed his court clothes, so he came to the upper study room because of an urgent official document from eight hundred miles away.

As soon as the little emperor Qimin saw Xue Yao enter the door, he quickly put down the official document in his hand and got up to greet him, but Xue Yao still stood still in the hall, knelt down and saluted respectfully.

"Xue Yao sees the emperor."

Qi Min quickly bent down to help Xue Yao up, and blurted out: "Brother Yao..."

Xue Yao coughed lightly, and indicated with his eyes that there were outsiders in the emperor's palace.Only then did Qi Min straighten up, and pretended to say: "Xue Aiqing is flat."

As soon as Xue Yaofu took his seat, the imperial physician who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to give him his pulse.Xue Yao took a closer look at the little emperor, and found that he had not seen him for more than a year. He had indeed grown a lot taller, and he had the majesty of a young emperor.

The two monarchs and ministers exchanged a few routine greetings first, and then began to discuss official matters.When the matter of Jiutianmen was mentioned, Qi Min asked suspiciously: "I don't know what happened to Xue Qing at Jiutianmen this time, why did he stay in a coma for many days?"

Xue Yao said: "It's a long story, about the Jiutianmen, I will report it to the emperor in detail later in a memorial."

Qi Min looked at Xue Yao, and said sincerely: "Xue Qing has really suffered when she went deep into the devil's lair this time. Is everything going well this trip?"

Xue Yao said in a business-like manner: "Everything is according to plan."

The little emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said: "The imperial court had no intention of intervening in Jianghu affairs, but the foundation of the Nine Heavens Sect is too strong, and it frequently causes chaos. If it is allowed to go on, it may bring disaster to the country and the people. The matter of the Demon Cult has been unresolved for hundreds of years. If you You can successfully take down the Nine Heavens Gate, what reward do you want me to give you?"

Hearing this, Xue Yao pulled his hand from the imperial physician's.He came to Qimin and knelt down, bent over and kowtowed.

"Xue Qing, what are you..." the emperor stood up and asked in bewilderment.

Xue Yao put his forehead on the cold stone floor and said calmly, "After the matter is completed, I want to ask the emperor for some people."

"How important is it for me, how many people are worthy of such a big gift?" Qi Min laughed when he heard it: "Who do you want? Don't wait until the matter is completed, I will send someone to your house in a while .”

Xue Yao straightened up and said, "I will tell the emperor when the time is right, and I will hope for the emperor's permission at that time."

"All right, it's up to you." The little emperor sat back on his throne, turned his head to look at the old imperial doctor beside him, and asked, "Doctor Wang, how is Xue Qing's health?"

The silent old imperial doctor came to the front of the hall tremblingly, and saluted the little emperor: "My Majesty, Young Envoy Xue is in good health and all is well, even the age-old stagnation of Qi and blood is gone." get well."

"Really?" Qi Min frowned, his joy was beyond words.

The old doctor kowtowed again and said, "I dare not speak nonsense."

Qi Min laughed loudly: "Okay, reward!"

After Xue Yao stayed in the palace for lunch, the emperor allowed him to leave for the palace.Before Xue Yao arrived at the mansion, the rewards from the palace had already been sent to the mansion one after another.As early as when he entered the palace, the news of Xue Shaoshi's "resurrection" had spread throughout the court, and everyone in the court was shocked.

Xue Yao was a little absent-minded all the way back home.Although he never mentioned it when he was in Jialou Mountain, he clearly understood in his heart that his golden core was broken and the meridians all over his body were broken.Coupled with the poison of ignorance, there is almost no solution in this world.

But right now, his inner mansion is full of spiritual power, his meridians are smooth, and his skill has returned to its heyday, and even reached his own best state.

How did Lin Jinhuan do it, and did he pay any price.

The momentarily unparalleled Master Xue stopped on the high stone steps.He looked over the layers of palace walls, looked in the direction of Jialou Mountain, and sighed silently in his heart.
