Cheng Dongyi disappeared.

When Song Yingbai knew the news, he had been missing for two days.

The last time someone saw him was when he was leading a young girl into an alley, and no one saw him after that.

It is said that the school lieutenants under his command searched the alley from house to house, but there was no trace of him.

Song Yingbai couldn't help but think of the mirror demon in front of him. Could it be that he escaped and set his sights on Cheng Dongyi again?

If it was really the work of a monster, if you mobilize people to search for it, you will definitely not be able to find it.

After going to the yamen and ordering a mao, he went out to fetch the rescuers—Xie Zhongyu's brother Liao Zhongfang.

He has seen him catch monsters with his own eyes before, and his ability is trustworthy.

Because Song Yingbai helped rescue Xie Zhongyu before, Liao Zhongfang agreed without thinking about it when Song Yingbai asked him for help.

Song Yingbai said politely: "It's troublesome."

"No trouble, no trouble at all, my junior brother was the one who caused trouble to you before." Liao Zhongfang said: "However, my master was also relieved when he returned to Longhu Mountain."

The two walked into the alley where Cheng Dongyi disappeared while chatting.

Song Yingbai saw that this narrow alley was no different from the thousands of other alleys in the capital. Standing at the end of the alley, one could see the end of the alley.

"Can you feel the evil spirit?" Song Yingbai asked.

Liao Zhongfang stared at the alley for a long time, made a seal with one hand, murmured something, swipe in front of Song Yingbai's eyes, then pointed to the front and said: "They are there."

Song Yingbai looked along his fingers, and saw Cheng Dongyi carrying a girl-like person in a cloud of white mist in front of him, "You must have done it, you are determined not to let me Find that carp fairy!"

The girl struggled unsuccessfully, turned her head to the side, and pretended to resist to the death.

Song Yingbai stepped forward quickly, "Finally found you." But Cheng Dongyi obviously couldn't hear him, and didn't look at him at all.

He tried to touch him, but his hand passed through him, as if they were not in the same dimension.

Liao Zhongfang said: "Something trapped them with a spell, it should be the carp fairy he was talking about." After finishing speaking, he took out a talisman, concentrated his attention seriously, and said, "Now!" and threw it out.

As it burned, the fog surrounding Cheng Dongyi and the girl disappeared. At the same time, Song Yingbai called out, and Cheng Dongyi immediately saw him, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I came to look for you. You have been missing for almost two days, do you know?"

As soon as Cheng Dong aimed at Liu Wulang, he slapped Liu Wulang on the head, "Hungry, thirsty and tired, you can do it, I would rather starve you and me to death than let us out."

"A girl, don't be like this..." After Song Yingbai finished speaking, he took a closer look, and he was clearly a boy dressed as a girl, and he was slapped, "Stinky boy, you don't want to live anymore? What carp fairy, hurry up and tell the truth Come, or I will arrest you and send you to prison!"

As soon as Liu Wulang entered the alley, he made a wish, "Carp Fairy, Carp Fairy, don't let Brother Cheng find you."

Then, they walked back and forth in the alley, and there was always a cloud of fog in front of them. Even if they couldn't get out of the alley, they couldn't knock on the gate of any courtyard.

Brother Cheng said that finding the Great Carp Immortal would transform him back, so he didn't want to transform back, and he didn't even want to die.

Song Yingbai saw that the boy did not move, and threatened, "Don't tell the truth, do you know what kind of crime it is to worship evil gods? It would be a light thing to exile you to Qiongzhou. If it is a big case, your whole family will be exiled." past."

Liu Wulang looked like he was about to cry, "When I ran away from home, I met a boy about my age by chance. He said he could help me realize my wish, so I followed him. He walked around in the middle of the alley. Three laps, after three lines of Carp Daxian, the door of a yard opened automatically. I also forgot which yard it was, anyway, it was like this, and then I went in and made a wish, and I don’t know anything about the rest.”

"Then have you seen what that carp fairy looks like?" Liao Zhongfang asked.

"I didn't see it, just go straight into a small dark room and say your wish."

"Making a wish?" Song Yingbai thought, this is the Koi Immortal.

Liu Wulang nodded, "The boy who brought me said that it has already helped many people realize their wishes, and it has responded to every request, but I have to pay for it. I paid for ten years of life."

When Song Yingbai heard that this was a real evil spirit, he winked at Liao Zhongfang, and Liao Zhongfang nodded, knowing that he must be killed.

Song Yingbai and the others took Liu Wulang to the alley, told him to turn around in the same place as last time, and read three lines of carp celestial being.

As soon as he finished reading, he saw a puff of water vapor coming from nowhere, and there was a small courtyard looming in the mist, and the door creaked open.

Going straight to the door of the main house, the door automatically opened again, and it was pitch black inside.

Liu Wulang said: "...I made a wish here last time."

Liao Zhongfang shook her head, "There is no evil spirit."

Hearing what he said, Song Yingbai and the others walked into the house, and they couldn't see their fingers in the house.

They walked a few steps forward, and suddenly felt that their feet were empty, and at the same time, an invisible force behind them pushed them, and they fell forward.

They fell into a pool.

A large pool was dug inside the house.

The water was deep enough to submerge them. Song Yingbai floated on the surface of the water and wanted to jump out, but found that the water seemed to be alive. Streams of water flowed up his chin and drilled into his nose.

Cheng Dong sighed, "Cough, cough, what's going on?"

Liao Zhongfang found that the talismans in his sleeves were all wet, so he had to bite his fingertips and chanted the mantra to drip into the water.

As the blood melted into the water, suddenly, the torches on the wall of the room flickered.

As soon as Song Yingbai lowered his head, he saw a big carp at the bottom of the pond, as big as a millstone, looking at them with puffy eyes.

At this time, Cheng Dongyi's nasal cavity was filled with water, and he struggled in pain.

Strange to say, although Song Yingbai also felt the flow of water in his nasal cavity, he didn't feel any discomfort.

Is it because he drank the water from the well of hell?

He immediately pulled out his saber and plunged into the water to stab the big carp. There was no doubt that this guy was a monster.

The big carp swam with ease at the bottom of the pond and was very flexible, but Song Yingbai's knife couldn't keep up with the speed of the carp due to resistance underwater.

At this time, Liao Zhongfang finished drawing a talisman on the water surface with blood, and saw the carp jump out of the water as if feeling burnt, and stood on the only little ground left at the door.

"I, I'm not a monster! Don't kill me!" Li Yu said, "I don't have a monster, Taoist priest, you bear witness."

This Taoist priest is not simple, it may be more or less auspicious today.

It really doesn't have any evil spirits, because it lives off the greed when people make wishes, so naturally it doesn't have any evil spirits, and it's not bad if it's popular.

It recognized Song Yingbai, isn't this the love rival of the maid from before, it's really a narrow road to enemies, isn't its catastrophe over yet?

Relying on a little beggar, it kept pulling people over to make wishes. Its bones and raw flesh grew to such a large size in a short period of time that it didn't want to die anymore.

Song Yingbai said to Liao Zhongfang: "Don't listen to it!" He lifted the man to the ground and asked him to pick up the carp.

Liao Zhongfang pulled out a rope from his sleeve and tossed it. The rope seemed to be alive and bound the carp tightly.

Carp rolled on the spot, "Don't kill me."

At this time Song Yingbai and Cheng Dongyi climbed out of the puddle one after another.

"Finally, the damned water doesn't go into the nose anymore." Cheng Dong said with lingering fear.

Song Yingbai stared at the carp and said, "What the hell are you? Why can you help people realize their wishes?"

"..." Carp didn't answer.

Actually it is a breath.

That's right, just one breath.Hundreds of years ago, a prince of the last dynasty was chased to the bank of the Yellow River. He was isolated and helpless, and he threw himself into the river with the wish, "I will never be born in the emperor's family again in the next life".

The last breath he exhaled after sinking into the river was swallowed by a carp. Gradually, the breath of the last prince brewed in the belly of the fish and penetrated into the bone marrow, making the carp extraordinary.

Probably because of the relationship of resentment in life, although it can fulfill wishes, it often goes wrong and occasionally is full of malice.

Seeing that it didn't answer, Song Yingbai said, "Forget it, just lock it back to the Taoist priest and seal it."

Hearing the word seal, Li Yu felt the despair of being overwhelmed. Wouldn't it be the same as being dead?

It looked at Song Yingbai angrily, "You are here to seek revenge from me! Okay, I will satisfy you!" After that, he opened his mouth to spit out the resentment in his chest, and went straight to Song Yingbai's face.

Song Yingbai only felt a cold air rushing towards his face, he frowned and waved his hands to disperse it without any discomfort.

Carp was stunned, it shouldn't be, this breath of death accumulated for hundreds of years is enough to kill him as a mortal, "Why, why..."

After the carp exhaled this breath, the flesh grown on its body due to the desire to make a wish rotted instantly, exposing the bones underneath.And the white bones, soon, also rotted and died at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Song Yingbai was puzzled, "What revenge?"

What happened just now is really a koi that makes people wonder.

-

After being released from the Yamen, Li Zhen went to Song Yingbai with a smile on his face, planning to return the house with him.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, his face turned cold because he saw Pei Huaixuan sitting in the room drinking tea.

As soon as Fang Jiamo saw Li Zhen, he immediately said, "Our lord is not here, Zhenfu Pei has been waiting for him to come back for half an hour."

Li Zhen did not see Song Yingbai's figure, "What did he do?"

Fang Jiamo shook his head, "He didn't say anything. Sit down quickly, Master Li, and I'll make tea for you." He picked up the hot water pot again, "Hey, there's no water, I'll go to the heating room to fill the pot again."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the kettle and hurried out of the door, shrank his neck in the corridor, and walked to the boiling water room.

He can't stand the tense atmosphere, it's too scary, and it's the best way to hide.

On this side, Li Zhen in the room dragged out a chair and sat down at the table, and said, "You came half an hour early, why are you so idle? Do you want me to give you something to do?"

Pei Huaixuan blew the tea, "You just saw that I am idle now, but you saw that I was busy all night last night."

"Oh? Then what were you busy with last night, were you busy picking out lean horses?" Li Zhen said, "I've always wanted to tell you about this. Song Yingbai is filial, so can you stop hurting him?"

"Are you afraid that someone will impeach him? Who would be so idle about other people's crap three inches below the navel? Spokesman? Dongchang? Or someone with ulterior motives?" Pei Huaixuan looked at Li Zhen with a half-smile.

Li Zhen was furious, he felt that Pei Huaixuan's series of actions were just to make him feel uncomfortable.

He knew that he liked Song Yingbai, so he intentionally mixed things up in the middle, and made another plan if one plan failed, "Let's open the skylight and tell the truth, tell me straight, what is your purpose?"

"Purpose? Didn't I say that, I think Song Yingbai's child will visit my adoptive father, so I want him to marry and have children."

Li Zhen sneered, Pei Huaixuan and his adoptive father are using each other, if it is really calculated that Pei Neng will have a catastrophe in the future, according to Pei Huaixuan's nature, he will only find other backers in advance, and will not try to save him, "Marry and have children? Ha ha."

Pei Huaixuan said unhurriedly: "Lord Li, don't laugh, I'm telling the truth. Those two Yangzhou skinny horses are just an appetizer, used to touch Song Yingbai's preferences. However, it seems that they were sent away. It can be seen that he doesn't like these two kinds of women."

"It's good that you know." Li Zhen snorted, stop doing useless work.

Unexpectedly, Pei Huaixuan continued: "So, I think he may like the naive, young girl's mood. After all, no matter which of the two skinny horses, they are all charming women. No wonder, Song Yingbai has no experience with women, so he may like The pure and innocent cardamom girl."

"..." Li Zhen secretly clenched his fists.

Pei Huaixuan didn't seem to notice the other party's dissatisfaction at all, and talked eloquently, "So I plan to introduce him to a young lady who is raised in a deep boudoir, the kind who is completely ignorant of the world's sophistication, I think he will like it."

"It's said to be raised in a deep boudoir, where did you find it?"

"You can always find it if you look for it." Pei Huaixuan said: "Besides, Song Yingbai is first-class in terms of family background and appearance. Do you still worry about not being able to find Xinyi's lady? I am afraid that I will like him now and want to be His father-in-law has too many people."

"..." The person surnamed Pei expressed his attitude that he wanted to fight himself to the end.

Seeing Li Zhen's gloomy eyes, Pei Huaixuan became more and more reluctant to open which pot and which pot to lift, "We are getting in touch now, and we will get married when the filial piety period is over. At that time, one of us will be Uncle Li and the other will be Uncle Pei. I need to prepare a few more New Year's money."

Li Zhen gritted her teeth, "You are determined to fight me."

Pei Huaixuan didn't back down, "It's strange, Master Li said that he and Song Yingbai are just friends, if what you said is true, then I won't harm any of your interests by persuading Song Yingbai to get married."

He stared into the other person's eyes, ready for a head-on confrontation.

He told his younger brother that Li Zhen had plans for him, but he might not believe it.Only by forcing Li Zhen to lose his temper and reveal his purpose, can Song Yingbai be scared into leaving him.

The skinny horse is finished, and the next step is to arrange a blind date for Song Yingbai. I don't believe that Li Zhen won't be jealous. Sooner or later, he will not be able to bear it, and he will have a showdown with Song Yingbai. At that time, his younger brother will be so scared that he will avoid him.

Li Zhen wanted to lurk down, and slowly sought it out, but he wanted to provoke him to expose him too early.

Li Zhen smiled angrily, "Okay, don't regret it."

Pei Huaixuan was not afraid of him at all, and was about to fight against him and stimulate him again.

Suddenly, a person yanked open the door and looked inside the room in panic, "Master Li, it's not good..."

Seeing that it was Chu Qiu, his follower, Li Zhen frowned and said, "What's the matter? I'm in a hurry."

Chu Qiu was stunned: "I just received the news that Song Baihu will be sent to Qiongzhou to supervise and investigate maritime intelligence with immediate effect."

Li Zhen thought he heard it wrong, Song Yingbai was sent to Qiongzhou?impossible!

At this time, Pei Huai stood up awkwardly, "Is it the same name or misheard?"

It doesn't make sense, with him and Li Zhen sitting in town, who dares to mobilize Song Yingbai to Qiongzhou, really don't want to live.

Chu Qiu shook his head: "It's absolutely not wrong. Commander Fan sent someone to tell him, and he also said that the emperor personally gave the order."

Pei Huaixuan's face changed, did he get too close to Song Yingbai, causing the emperor's jealousy?

No, his series of actions, in the eyes of outsiders, seems to be getting closer to Li Zhen. After all, Song Yingbai's official position is too low, and outsiders don't think he is the core.

Even if the emperor wanted to target him, he should target Li Zhen.

When Li Zhen heard that it was the emperor's order, his heart skipped a beat. Someone must have sued Song Yingbai, otherwise Song Yingbai was a small household, and the emperor didn't even know who he was, so there was no point in ordering him to be expelled.

He glared at Pei Huaixuan viciously, "It's you, you're the one who sued Song Yingbai for the crime, right?" He stepped forward and grabbed the other side's skirt, "You have the ability to come at me, but hurting Song Yingbai is nothing."

Pei Huaixuan was also annoyed, "Everything I did was for his own good, how could I hurt him?!"

While arguing, another Jin Yiwei ran in panting, squeezed Chu Qiu away, stood at the door and said, "Master Pei, it's not good..." Seeing that Li Tongzhi was grabbing his lord's lapel, he didn't know what to do.

Pei Huaixuan understood that this must be the news of Song Yingbai's expatriation, and he has been calling people's attention to Song Yingbai's movements.

"What's the matter, but it's okay to say!"

Pei Huaixuan said humanely: "There is news from the palace that the emperor and the empress dowager have ordered the expulsion of Song Baihu to Qiongzhou."

His adoptive father, Pei Neng, was the chief eunuch in the palace, so many of the Huo Zhe in the palace delivered news for him, and he understood the news in the palace very quickly.

"Empress Dowager?" Li Zhen and Pei Huaixuan realized this key figure at the same time.

In an instant, both of them understood what was going on.

Especially Pei Huaixuan, who aggressively pushed Li Zhen away and said angrily, "It's all because of you!"

The Empress Dowager is the elder sister of Li Zhen's grandfather. She stood up to expel Song Yingbai. The reason is self-evident. There must be something wrong with the Li family.

After Li Zhen realized that the problem was on his side, his aura fell a lot in an instant, and he was pushed back by Pei Huaixuan, taking a few steps back.

Chu Qiu and Pei Huaixuan's captain stared blankly at the two, not knowing what to do for a while.

Pei Huaixuan rushed to Li Zhen in a few steps, and lifted his skirt instead, "You enter the palace immediately and beg the emperor for mercy!"

He was very anxious, but he couldn't enter the palace to intercede with the emperor in person, otherwise the matter would become more and more complicated.

If he wanted to save Song Yingbai, he wanted to avoid suspicion instead.

He took all his anger on Li Zhen, if someone else was not present, he would have to fight Li Zhen.

"You don't need to say it!" Li Zhen broke Pei Huaixuan's hands apart, turned his head and walked outside.

When Fang's family came back carrying water, he saw Li Zhen walking out with an angry expression on his face. He didn't dare to go forward, and stood aside to watch him leave.

Then, he saw Pei Zhenfu also come out, took a few steps on the spot, kicked the wall a few times to vent his anger, and then left with a dark face.

After they were all gone, Fang Jiamo went back to the house with trepidation, and prayed, Master Song, where have you been, come back soon, it's too scary.

Li Zhen entered the palace non-stop, begging to see the emperor.

The emperor thought he had something important to do, so he immediately called him into the palace.

Zhu Shengze saw his cousin frowning, with a hint of anger in his heartache, he was a little surprised, "What's the matter, is there anything important you want to tell me?"

Li Zhen didn't beat around the bush, lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please take back the imperial order on Song Yingbai's disposal."

Zhu Shengze asked back, "Who is Song Yingbai?"

"..." Li Zhen was stunned.

"Ah——" Zhu Shengze remembered that it was the Jin Yiwei in the Empress Dowager's dream that made her feel unlucky, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen you be so anxious to plead for others."

"Your Majesty, please take it back, he cannot go to Qiongzhou!"

"But he appeared in the Empress Dowager's dream. He shot a white rabbit to death with a bow and arrow in his hand. This year is the Empress Dowager's birth year, and she is very taboo. Even for the Empress Dowager, I can't keep him in the capital. .”

Li Zhen said: "...Your Majesty, has my grandfather been in the palace in the past two days and met the Empress Dowager?"

"I saw the old man at the Empress Dowager's place today, what's the matter?"

I knew it was him!Li Zhen bit her lip secretly, but it was strange, the old man of his family was always slow, how did he find out about his relationship with Song Yingbai?And even going into the palace to complain to his sister, that's too much, too much!

Seeing his cousin's preoccupied appearance, Zhu Shengze also felt that the matter was not simple, "Tell me, what happened."

Li Zhen expressed his guess, "...I suspect...it was my grandfather who went to the palace to complain to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager found a way to ask you to order Song Yingbai to be demoted."

Zhu Shengze frowned when he saw that his cousin hadn't mentioned the main point for so long, "Don't be confused, tell me who this Song Yingbai is, and why the old Duke and the Empress Dowager want to deal with him."

Li Zhen did not dare to deceive the king, nor did she want to deceive the king.

If you tell him that he and Song Yingbai are just friends, it's because the Duke and the Empress Dowager misunderstood.Then there is no guarantee that the emperor will force him to marry with the empress dowager in the future.

He now seriously doubts that this will be the next plan of his grandfather and the empress dowager.

Just in case, he has to make it clear now, otherwise, when the time comes, it will be the same as the dilemma Pei Huaixuan set up for him.

Li Zhen looked up, looked into the emperor's eyes, and said word by word: "...he is my sweetheart."

His eyes were calm and resolute, without flinching or flickering.

Zhu Shengze was stunned, blinked his eyes, and then smiled, "Say it again, I seem to have heard you say that he is your sweetheart?"

"Your Majesty heard it right. That's what I said. I...I like Song Yingbai. That's why my grandfather couldn't understand it. He went to the palace to discuss with the Empress Dowager. This should also be the Empress Dowager's nightmare, asking you to expel Song Yingbai. s reason."

He was already prepared, anyway, he would never allow Song Yingbai to leave him at this point.

The big deal is to be single-minded, to upset the two old people and offend the emperor, and he will never let Song Yingbai go to Qiongzhou. After traveling thousands of miles, he is afraid that when he sees Song Yingbai again, his children will run all over the place.

Zhu Shengze looked at his cousin, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Then why didn't you say it earlier? If you said it earlier, I wouldn't give that order. When the Empress Dowager told me, I don't know who he is at all, but after a long time, it turns out that he is the person you like."

The emperor's attitude was beyond Li Zhen's expectations. He thought that the emperor would sigh and persuade him to cut off this relationship, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so open-minded.

He saw the emperor then said with emotion: "I understand, get up quickly."

Li Zhen said: "Your Majesty, will you take back your order?"

Zhu Shengze said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid it won't work. I have already promised the Empress Dowager, how can I not keep my word?! You just bear with it and leave for a while, and I will find a reason to call him back."

Li Zhen shook her head, "No, he has long nights and dreams, he must leave me."

Zhu Shengze said dissatisfied: "Since he is such a heartless and ungrateful person, there is no need for you to plead for him."

"Alas..." Li Zhen had no choice but to tell the truth, "He doesn't know that I treat him... alas..." Halfway through the sentence, I couldn't continue, leaving the emperor with a sigh of "you understand".

"I understand you." Zhu Shengze's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said empathetically, "I understand you so well."

It seems that the cousin fell in love with Song Yingbai unilaterally, and the other party didn't know anything at all.

It's too hard to have a crush on someone who doesn't like you, he really understands.

He walked up to Li Zhen, stretched out his hand to support him, "Get up, I support you, let's take a long-term plan."

Li Zhen saw a chance to relax, so she stood up quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Zhu Shengze helped his cousin up, he pondered for a while, "I promised the Empress Dowager that I will not take it back, but... I can modify it. In this way, when Song Yingbai leaves the capital and walks halfway, I will send another The decree was passed on to transfer him to Nanjing Jinyiwei Qianhu."

Many officials were relegated, and before they arrived at their new positions, they received the edict of reinstatement.

It can't be said that he has never been relegated. The emperor played this trick on Song Yingbai.

"...Your Majesty, can't you be transferred to Tianjin Wei?" The Empress Dowager hated him, and it was true that she couldn't return to the capital in a short time, but Nanjing was still too far away, and Tianjin Wei was much closer. Take better care of him.

Zhu Shengze shook his head slightly, "Tianjin Wei is too close, it is inevitable that the news will not be transmitted back to the capital, Nanjing is already much closer than Qiongzhou."

Li Zhen had a sad face.Nanjing is a splendid and prosperous place, Song Yingbai went there, he would not suffer, but could enjoy the happiness, but it was really too far away, it was not easy for him to travel.

Zhu Shengze saw his worry, "Don't worry, I have already made up my mind. Soon after he arrives in Nanjing, I will send you to Nanjing to handle the case, so that you can get together in a legitimate way. At that time, when you are in Nanjing, the Duke and the Emperor will be together." The Empress Dowager is beyond her reach."

Li Zhen never realized that the emperor was so wise and supported him wholeheartedly.

Zhu Shengze patted his cousin on the shoulder, raised his face and raised his eyebrows and said, "When you arrive in Nanjing, work harder, don't waste the opportunity I've given you, you must take him down!"

Li Zhen doesn't have that in mind now, he just wants to make up for Song Yingbai as much as possible. Fortunately, no matter what, the current result is many times better than sending him to Qiongzhou.
