across mountains and seas

The morning light fell through the window panes, shining warmly on Liu Xi's face through the gauze.

She quietly lay her pillow on Jing Lan's official uniform, covered with a brocade quilt, and fell asleep soundly.Shen Jiangli tucked her back into the quilt again, and walked out of the room lightly.

Jing Lan stood in the courtyard with her sword in hand, ready to leave for Donglin City.After seeing Shen Jiangli pushing the door, Jing Lan went up to meet her and asked in a low voice, "Is her injury better today?"

Shen Jiangli nodded and said in a low voice, "Sleeping."

Jing Lan was slightly startled, "...didn't wake up?" With Liu Xi's vigilance, how could he not notice that Shen Jiang was approaching the room?

"Tired, tired." Shen Jiang replied painfully.

Jing Lan sighed softly, just about to say something.

"Take care." Shen Jiangli pointed to himself, and reached out to pat Jing Lan's shoulder, "Don't worry."

Jing Lan smiled and nodded, "Sister Shen, I'm leaving, and she will be taken care of by you."

"Xiao Xin." Shen Jiangli pointed at Jing Lan, a little worried.

"You have to take this first step." After Jing Lan finished speaking, she took a deep look at the half-closed door and said softly, "Recover well."

Seeing Jing Lan about to leave, Shen Jiangli suddenly thought of something, "Official, Fu."

"It's fine to keep it." Jing Lan smiled knowingly, raised her sword and strode away.

Shen Jiangli tilted his head and watched Jing Lan go away with a confused expression.

She didn't understand, but Liu Xi understood.

Liu Xi never let herself sleep too deeply, when Shen Jiangli approached, she woke up.Hearing Jing Lan's words at this moment, she couldn't help raising the corner of her mouth, and murmured, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Sending the official uniform to her with his own hands, smoothing out the wrinkles of the official uniform for her, fitting a jade crown for her with his own hands, and smiling at her: "My family, Ah Lan, has really grown up."

Jing Lan went to her battlefield, so she couldn't be slower than her.

Half an hour later, outside the Shicheng Building in Santu Shixia, Aunt Hong brought Jing Tan and Jing Huan to see Jing Lan off at the foot of the city.

Seeing Jing Lan's slightly thin body, Aunt Hong patted Jing Lan's shoulder, feeling very reluctant, "Xiao Wu has grown up, so he has to protect himself."

Jing Lan felt warm in her heart, and said softly, "Don't worry, Aunt Hong, I will."

"Uncle Jiu, protect Xiao Wu." Aunt Hong couldn't rest assured, she couldn't help telling Uncle Jing Jiu.

Uncle Jing Jiu laughed and said, "Madam, don't worry, the young master is no longer a child, maybe the young master will protect us!" After finishing speaking, he took a firm look at Jing Lan, and this young master made him feel more and more at ease. .

Hearing Uncle Jing Jiu's words, Aunt Hong felt relieved.

Jing Lan smiled and looked at Jing Tan and Jing Huan, "Second Brother, the city defense of Haicheng will be left to you and Fourth Brother."

"Xiao Wu, you can rest assured." Jing Tan nodded, "There is evil spirit protection, if Shurawei dares to come again, I will kill one by one!"

Jing Lan smiled, "Yes."

Jing Huan mysteriously handed a wooden box to Jing Lan, leaned close to Jing Lan and said in a low voice, "Fourth brother will give you something to relieve your boredom. You can take a look if you are bored on the road."

Jing Lan was curious and just wanted to open it.

Jing Huan hurriedly pressed Jing Lan's hand to prevent her from opening the wooden box in front of everyone, and said anxiously, "Xiao Wu, just look for yourself!"

Jing Lan had no choice but to give up, so let's watch it at the post station at night.

Nie Guang and a team of the imperial court had been waiting for Jing Lan in the distance for a long time, and he rode his horse towards this side, urging him: "Commander, the son-in-law is still waiting in Donglin City."

Jing Lan nodded, got on the horse with Uncle Jing Jiu, and led ten Haicheng guards, and followed Nie Guang away.

"Huh?" Aunt Hong suddenly became suspicious, and asked Jing Tan, "That little fairy Nie Su is still in Kedao?"

Jing Tan nodded, "Sister-in-law just sent someone to connect her to Haicheng."

Jing Huan scratched his head, "Mother, why do you call Miss Nie little Humei?"

These few days Jing Huan spent most of his time at [Casting Terrace], so he knew nothing about Nie Su's little tricks.

Aunt Hong glared at him, "Listen well, Xiao Humei is here for our Xiao Wu, you and A Tan should be careful, in case she fails to hook up with Xiao Wu, she will hook up with you instead."

"How could I?" Jing Huan quickly assured, "I'm still young, only 17 years old, so I won't have such perverted thoughts! Mother, you can rest assured!"

Jing Tan also said seriously: "Mother, I don't like such a girl, and I don't know how to do it."

Aunt Hong let out a long sigh of relief when she heard these two assurances.

However, there is Xi'er in Haicheng, and Aunt Hong believes that the little Humei can't make any waves.

At the same time, Liu Xi invited Nie Su into Haicheng, and specially ordered someone to clean up a guest room in his small courtyard for Nie Su to live in.

Nie Su failed to seduce Jing Lan last night, she felt sorry for her, but suddenly Liu Xi left her behind, and she somewhat guessed why.

One is to interrogate her about what happened last night, and the other is to make Nie Guang worry more, so don't play any tricks on the road.

If he can't pass this test, it will be as difficult as going to heaven to get close to the young master of the Jing family in the future.

Nie Su had already thought up her explanation. If Liu Xi asked about what happened last night today, she would be able to explain it clearly.

Liu Xi set up a tea banquet in the courtyard today, and Nie Su sat on the futon on the right side of Liu Xi facing behind Liu Xifu with a trace of apprehension.

Today is serious.

Liu Xi sneered secretly, with the smile still on his face, poured a cup of hot tea for Nie Su himself, and moved it in front of her, "Miss Nie, drink a cup of hot tea first."

Like a docile lamb, Nie Su timidly picked up the hot tea and took a small sip.

The tea is the best Biluochun tea, with a delicate fragrance and endless aftertaste.

"Good tea." Nie Su praised in a low voice.

Liu Xi picked up the teacup and was not in a hurry to drink the tea, she said with a straight line: "Miss Nie is a person who understands tea." His tone was cold, with a hint of murderous intent like a knife's edge.

Nie Su hurriedly put down the hot tea, "I...I have no other choice!"

"Oh?" Liu Xi laughed a little harder, "You are Captain Nie's younger sister, and the court chose him to announce the decree, so he must be a very important person in the hearts of His Majesty or the Eldest Princess."

Nie Su shook his head violently, and said in a panic, "It's the eldest princess...the eldest princess ordered me...to seduce Young Master Jing...that way I can feel at ease..."

"The eldest princess is really deliberate." Liu Xi sighed pretendingly, "Since you don't believe in our Dongjing clan so much, why bother to invite us out of the mountain with the post of governor of Dongfuzhou?"

Nie Su lowered his head, and his voice was even hoarse than just before, "I don't understand the affairs of the court." As he spoke, his fingers tightened his sleeves, trembling slightly.

"Since Miss Nie has been honest with me today," Liu Xi lifted the teapot and refilled the cup for Nie Su, "then I will also tell you the truth."

Nie Su Ruannuo replied, "Yes."

"Your brother is a capable person, and you are also an obedient person." Liu Xi put down the teapot, and suddenly smiled softly and harmlessly, "My Alan is a person who does great things, and I just need help like you."

Nie Su's heart sank, she had heard that Liu Xi was not an easy woman to deal with, and she had only just begun her prepared excuses, and she actually believed them all?

Liu Xi sighed intentionally, "Nowadays the imperial court is weak, and they don't want to treat each other with sincerity, so they ordered you to do such despicable things." As she spoke, she approached Nie Su with her right index finger along Nie Su's cheek. He touched his chin all the way, and pinched it at the end, "He was born beautifully, and he is indeed a beauty."

Nie Su didn't dare to say anything, pretended to be panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Young Madam, I really know I was wrong." She had to admit that Liu Xi's eyes were like knives, as if they could penetrate one's mind with a single glance.

"You are not wrong." Liu Xi gave her a step instead, and let go of her chin with a smile, "The one who made you do things was wrong." After a slight pause, Liu Xi wiped her fingers in disgust, " I will be unrighteous to anyone who is unkind to me." As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes and smiled at Nie Su, "I think Miss Nie is a smart person, so she should know how to answer my next question, right?"

Shen Jiangli walked over holding the handkerchief, on which were the peach blossom notes and five silver needles left from last night, she put the handkerchief on the tea table, and deliberately reminded, "Yes, poison!"

Nie Su couldn't help trembling.

Nie Su was not surprised that the peach blossom paper fell into Liu Xi's hands, but the five silver needles she put in Jing Lan's official uniform were all picked out, which showed that Liu Xi was not so easy to fool.

Therefore, I am afraid that none of the things Liu Xi told her just now were true.

"Let's talk." Liu Xi didn't ask anything, and lazily threw two words to her.

Nie Su opened his mouth, "This...the powder on the peach blossom paper...is given to me by the eldest princess..."

"The official uniform comes from Lidu, and the needles inside were naturally hidden by the eldest princess." Liu Xi had already guessed that she would say this, and followed her words, helping her to say the second half of the sentence.

Nie Su panicked completely.

Liu Xi smiled softly, "Miss Nie, don't be afraid, I believe in you."

Nie Su knew that Liu Xi didn't believe a word.

This woman Liu Xi is really terrifying!

Obviously no knife was used, but it made people feel a sense of fear with a knife in their throat.

"I... If I don't obey the eldest princess's order... she will kill my whole family..." Nie Su could only respond hastily. When she and her brother entered Lidu, they found two "fake" fathers. Mother, even if Liu Xi went to investigate, she couldn't find anything.

"Poor man." Liu Xi shook her head, looking at the wing where Nie Su would live in the future, "This will be your safe house from now on, don't be afraid of anything here."

Strange to say, the door of the wing room was clearly open, but in Nie Su's view, the open door was like a prison door, waiting for her to walk in obediently.

"Go in and rest earlier." Liu Xi smiled and said, looking at Shen Jiangli, "Sister, push me to the kitchen, I want to make you a snack today."

"Mmm! Mmm!" Shen Jiangli was so happy that he pushed the wooden cart out.

Liu Xi supported the tea table and stood up, limped to the side of the wooden cart, sat down, "Sister, let's go."

Shen Jiangli nodded with a smile, and pushed Liu Xi to leave the courtyard.

Nie Su looked at the peach blossom paper and silver needles on the tea table in shock, and dared not move for a long time.

Liu Xi put the peach blossom paper and silver needle here, should she take it away, or let her put it here?

After Shen Jiangli pushed the wooden cart for a long distance, he finally spoke, "Quench, poison."

"Thank you, sister." Liu Xi looked at her sideways, her eyes approving, "The fishhook has been thrown out, I want to see if she can bite the hook or not?"

Ordinary girls don't understand poison, but if Nie Su is from the Jianghu, once poisoned, in order to survive, she will definitely show some clues.

Therefore, whether it was peach blossom paper, silver needles, or even the veil covering these two things, Shen Jiangli was re-infused with a colorless and odorless poison.

If Nie Su is a smart person, it is best to put the peach blossom paper and silver needle in their original places.

If he was a fool, he would rush to take these two pieces of evidence away for inspection or destroy them.

This battle has just begun, Liu Xi wants to try first, is Nie Su worthy to be her opponent?
