across mountains and seas

Deep in the dense forests of the mountains in East Fuzhou, on the desolate and shadowy mountain road, Mrs. Ye, who was covered with a black veil, suddenly stopped and looked left and right at the dense pine forests on both sides of the mountain road.

"Hall master won't be so stingy, right?" Madam Ye leaned close to the trunk of a pine tree while talking lazily.Knowing that she was already in danger, she didn't have the slightest bit of burnt color on her face.

"Ma'am, what do you mean?" A hoarse voice sounded from behind the tree trunk, and a gray-haired man wearing a skull mask came out from behind the tree that Madam Ye was leaning against, and unexpectedly put a weapon on Madam Ye's throat.

Madam Ye unhurriedly took out a stack of bank notes from her bosom, and handed them to the man, "Today, I will pay double the compensation for those who lose the Asura Court."

The dark eyes behind the skull mask sank, "I want to hear the truth."

"Haicheng's institutions are exquisite, and the surname Jing can't come out. No matter how many of you go there, it will be difficult to break through the checkpoint at Shixiakou." Madam Ye's tone was very disdainful, "Mr. Jing's death is on your heads Yes, if those wolf cubs in Haicheng grow up, won't you be afraid at all? Besides, Liuxi is not a fuel-efficient lamp. You have also experienced it this morning. Her sword skills are ruthless and absolute , how can you not avenge your dead husband?"

The gray-haired man slowly put down his weapon, and took all the bank notes handed over by Mrs. Ye with one hand, "Go ahead."

Madam Ye straightened her clothes, "The current imperial court only looks at the vicious cat, wouldn't it be better for the imperial court to lure out the litter of wolf cubs that were hiding in Haicheng? Wei Jianbai was provoked by you This is a big trouble, if you don’t get rid of these wolf cubs as soon as possible, the hall master should know better than me the pros and cons.”

The gray-haired man remained silent. Those who lost today were all the elites of the Asura Guards. Is it worth the price to play this play with her?

Mrs. Ye seemed to know what he was suspicious of, and continued: "The reason why I didn't communicate with you earlier is because acting on purpose and acting on purpose are two different things. You see, I also lost double the money." , I also said the truth sentence by sentence, if the hall master doesn't believe me, he can kill me right now."

The gray-haired man sneered and said, "Don't play such clever tricks. If I really want to kill you, do you think you can say these words?"

Madam Ye smiled. She looked at this man quietly. The only thing she knew about him was that he was the head of the Hall of Bones in the Asura Court. As for his name and what he looked like, she didn't know anything about him.

The Hall Master of the Hall of Bones hurriedly counted the amount of the banknotes in his hand, and he couldn't help but coldly said suspiciously: "It's really strange, the Ye family who has been humbled for a hundred years is so rich, and he can easily sell 20 taels of silver."

"Even if you are a pariah, there is a way of making money for a pariah. Since we can afford you, we can certainly afford to compensate you." Madam Ye's tone was cold, "It's meaningless to ask about some things."

The head of the Bone Hall sneered fearfully, "I don't care where your money comes from. I just want to know why Ye Shi wants those wolf cubs of Jing Shi to die so much?"

"What if I don't want to say it?" Madam Ye asked back.

The master of the Hall of White Bones put all the banknotes into his arms, "Then I will wait until the day Madam wants to talk, and then I will listen carefully." After a short pause, he approached Madam Ye, and said in a low voice: "Cao Yang's people are staring at you very much. Tight, my people helped you trap those people on the mountain road on the other side, you said..."

Madam Ye took out another bank note, "Thank you, Hall Master."

The head of the Hall of Bone Bones nodded in satisfaction, accepted the bank note without any politeness, turned around and walked into the depths of the dense forest.

Madam Ye let out a long sigh of relief, only to realize that her vest was already wet with cold sweat. If she hadn't been leaning against the tree trunk, she might have been seen clearly by the Hall of Bones.

Why must those wolf cubs die?

Madam Ye looked at her little finger sadly, and moved it a little. The person who made her promise had already gone to the underworld, and could not fulfill the promise in this life.

If they were all alive, the original plans would not be in vain.

What her cousin Jing Xiaotian didn't do, and what her aunt didn't do, she started over and realized it step by step.

Jing Xiaohai, the son of the lowly servant girl, was the head of the Jing family for nothing, and the bastards he gave birth to were also the years of happy life for nothing.

If the dove occupies the magpie's nest, it must be returned.

At the same time that Mrs. Ye and Asura Wei completed the deal, Jing Lan found Uncle Jing Jiu with her sword, and brought him to Sansheng Pavilion.

Jing Lan closed the door and window with her own hands, sat on the chair her father used to sit on, and was not in a hurry to ask questions.

Uncle Jing Jiu knew what Jing Lan wanted to ask, and when Liu Xi discovered the crescent moon tattoo today, Uncle Jing Jiu knew that Liu Xi would find a way to figure it out.

He won't tell Liu Xi about those old things, just because she might leave Haicheng with the letter of releasing his wife.It's a good thing for Jing Shi that she doesn't know about those old things.

But Jing Lan is different, she is now the Patriarch of the Dongjing Clan, so she really should know these things.

Uncle Jing Jiu is over 50 years old this year. His surname was given by Jing An back then. His single name is nine characters. As he gets older, people in Haicheng like to call him Uncle Jiu.

The year Jing Xiaotian went mad, he was just a 12-year-old handyman.But it was him, an unremarkable boy, who made the most painful decision in Jing An's life.

"I know what the young master wants to ask." Uncle Jing Jiu cupped his fists at Jing Lan respectfully.

Jing Lan asked directly: "What's the matter with the light blue crescent moon?"

"That's the family emblem of the Ye clan." Uncle Jing Jiu replied decisively, "The Ye clan is the family of Ye Zhen, the wife of the former head of the family, and also the line of the former royal family."

Jing Lan frowned, "The former imperial family?"

"It happened more than 200 years ago, and not many people remember it now." Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, "Back then, the eldest son Jing Xiaotian went crazy because I poisoned the tea he often drank." His tone was calm , looking straight into Jing Lan's astonished eyes, "He is not the child of the old Patriarch, which is what the old Patriarch meant."

Uncle Jing Jiu knew about this? !

Jing Lan pretended to be ignorant of the inside story, "So...uncle's death was not an accident."

"Not only him, but also the death of the Patriarch's wife, Ye Zhen, was not an accident." Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, "After all, the father and son have been deeply in love for 15 years, and the old Patriarch's treatment of Ye Zhen is also considered a deep affection. I originally wanted to spare their lives... ...But in the end, they found out that they were determined not to let it go."

"Why?" Jing Lan faintly felt that what Uncle Jing Jiu knew was a bit different from what she learned in the evil-dispelling secret room.Perhaps, when Grandpa and Liu Feiyang joined forces to create evil spirits, they were simply creating evil spirits.What Liu Feiyang said in the letter was just his family's words, maybe Ye Zhen deliberately told Liu Feiyang to deceive Liu Feiyang's trust.

However, if the old things of the past are brought up again now, it will be harmful and not beneficial, so there is no need to investigate what happened to these three people.

Uncle Jing Jiu said in a deep voice: "The Ye clan has worked hard outside the pass for 200 years in order to restore the country. As a clan daughter, Ye Zhen pretended to be close to the old Patriarch in order to help them overthrow the Ye clan with the help of our Jing clan." The world. The old Patriarch has been bewitched for many years, and almost caused a catastrophe, causing war in the world..."

"Uncle Jiu, do you know how to ward off evil spirits?" Jing Lan interrupted him directly. Since Uncle Jing Jiu is so frank, she doesn't have to pretend any more, "I found a secret room under the [Organ Tomb]." It is a mechanism beast created by Xishan Liu's military casting technique, to ward off evil spirits."

Uncle Jing Jiu's eyes sank, "Only the old Patriarch knows about that secret room, how did you get in?" After a short pause, he suddenly realized that Jing Lan and Liu Xi disappeared at the same time, so as much as Jing Lan knew, Liu Xi must have also disappeared. know how much.

There are certain things that Liu Xi cannot hide anymore.

Jing Lan shook her head, "If it wasn't for the ghost, I wouldn't know there would be such a place." As she spoke, she thought of another level, "This person is trying to let Liu Xi and I know what happened back then, Uncle Jiu, you Do you really think he would die so easily?"

Uncle Jing Jiu gasped. He really wanted to simplify things.

"Back then, the old Patriarch secretly cleaned up Haicheng. For decades, Haicheng has been considered calm. I thought there would be no Ye family members in Haicheng." Uncle Jing Jiu recalled the past few decades. He and Mr. Chen were old friends. This person pretended so meticulously that even he didn't see through the fake. How could he die so easily in the trap in the corner?

"Mr. Chen is probably just taking the place of the dead ghost." Jing Lan came to a conclusion.

The more Uncle Jing Jiu thought about it, the colder his chest became, it was hard for him to fall asleep before he was caught.

Before this, Jing Lan had always been puzzled - if Ye Shi wanted to take revenge on Jing Shi, he could just poison the well, why did he hide in the city and stay still for many years?

But at this moment, Jing Lan suddenly figured it out.

It is easy for Ye's inner ghost to take revenge on Jing, but if he can take revenge on Jing and please other forces, such a plan can be said to kill two birds with one stone, the best strategy.

That's why the inner ghost will dedicate the layout map of Haicheng to the Xishan Liu family, and Liu Xi will get that map. In his previous life, he could rely on that map to destroy the Dongjing clan together with Wei Jianbai.

Uncle Jing Jiu noticed that Jing Lan's clenched fists were trembling. He had never seen Fifth Young Master with such hatred in his eyes.

"Little Lord?"

"The inner ghost is definitely still in Haicheng! Maybe there are more than one person!"

When Jing Lan realized this, she felt that things were far more complicated than she imagined.In her previous life, she thought Liu Xi and Wei Jianbai were the murderers, but they were nothing more than pawns in Ye's plan.

"That……"

"Let's not move for now, let me think about it for a few days, how to catch these ghosts?"

"it is good."

"Liu Xi said... to ward off evil spirits is to be credited to her forging Haicheng..."

Uncle Jing Jiu was silent for a moment, and said with emotion, "It's a pity."

"What a pity?" Jing Lan asked in confusion.

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, "If there is nothing wrong with the eldest son, the young lady will definitely be the eldest son's virtuous wife. I... don't want to be a villain, thinking that one day she will leave Haicheng with a letter to release his wife." As he said that, Uncle Jing Jiu shook his head and sighed softly, "It's reasonable for her to ward off evil spirits. At least there will be less speculation in the world, which is a good thing for Haicheng."

Uncle Jing Jiu mentioned the words "letting his wife go".

Jing Lan found that she and Liu Xi had forgotten the half-month agreement. Even at this moment, Jing Lan didn't want to remind Liu Xi that there was still this half-month agreement.

Now that Liu Xi knows a lot of old things, if he really gave his wife a letter to let her go, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles.

Thinking of this, Jing Lan felt a headache.

Is she going to stare at this troublesome woman in Haicheng for the rest of her life?

The words Liu Xi said to her today at the mouth of Santushi Gorge suddenly appeared in her mind——

"It's naive and ridiculous to talk about light in troubled times. It's ridiculous for others to say this, but you say this... It's really boring to wait and see."

She is so sincere, so bright smile.

Even just thinking about it can make Jing Lan feel her deep sincerity.

"What do you want her to do all of a sudden?!" Jing Lan realized that she shouldn't be thinking about it, and cursed herself inwardly, and told Uncle Jing Jiu with a livid face, "Uncle Jiu, step up the patrol, I need to think about it in the past few days." think."

Uncle Jing Jiu took the order, "Yes!" After speaking, he withdrew from the Sansheng Pavilion.

Jing Lan held her forehead, just wanting to be quiet for a while.

But not long after it was quiet, someone knocked on the door.

Jing Lan frowned, "What's the matter?"

"Of course it's business." Liu Xi's voice sounded outside the door.

Jing Lan's brows frowned even tighter, she finally didn't want this troublesome woman, why did she come to her door?

"I didn't say that, you go back and rest..."

Before Jing Lan finished speaking, she saw Liu Xi walking in from the outside with a knife in one hand and a roster in the other.She simply put the roster in front of Jing Lan, and then turned around and closed the door.

"It's day and night, it's not good for a single man and a widow to be in the same room! You open the door!" Jing Lan really didn't like being alone in a room like this.

Liu Xi put Jingyue on the desk, sat opposite Jing Lan, smiled and comforted: "A Lan, you also said, it's not a big deal, it's not midnight, it's okay. Besides, Uncle Jiu knows I'm here. of."

"Him?" Jing Lan couldn't believe what she heard.

Liu Xi nodded, "He said, if I could help you a little more..." She tried hard to recall what Uncle Jing Jiu said, anyway, that was probably what she meant.

"Who wants your help? You go back and rest!" Jing Lan thinks why these people in Haicheng are secretly helping Liuxi one by one?

"Well, good." Liu Xi suddenly lay down on the desk and closed her eyes.

"I didn't let you here..."

"Shh."

Jing Lan looked at her slightly pale face, and could only swallow those heavy words choked in her throat.

What does she do?

It's her business that she loves to spoil her body!

Jing Lan simply grabbed a roster and forced to open the first page, only to see a line of small characters on it stating "Haicheng within ten years".

Jing Lan was startled for a while, then settled down, and turned to the second page of the roster, on which was noted another sentence "coming to Haicheng within three years".

She quickly flipped through the roster, and just about to put it down to look at the other ones, she heard Liu Xi say in a solemn voice: "Look carefully, you are more familiar with people in Haicheng than I am, I can only mark the year, these people are related to the portraits. How similar and how not, you need to distinguish."

Jing Lan half-closed her eyes, and quietly looked at Liu Xi, seeing that she was still lying on her stomach and taking a nap with her eyes closed, she didn't open her eyes to look at her, so she couldn't help but sneered, "Speak too much."

"Concentrate on watching." Seemingly knowing that Jing Lan was secretly watching her, Liu Xi half-closed her eyes and reprimanded in a cold voice.

"What a trouble." Jing Lan muttered in a low voice.

Liu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Still not concentrating?"

Jing Lan opened her mouth, but in the end she could only hold back her rebuttals, opened the first roster again, and compared them carefully.
