The bright moon sits on the ground

After the decision was made, Nie Qiu and Xiao Xueyang were going to find Jia Lingchang.

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Zhang Yu said, "Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes and go with you."

Nie Qiu agreed, and waited for a while with Xiao Xueyang at the door of the room, and then Zhang Yu came out.

She changed into a light yellow dress, the light color and sleeves reminded people of the laurel that never fades in the winter, and then they realized that the lady in front of her was only 22 or [-] years old. Just four years older than Xiao Xueyang.

Zhang Concubine turned around and closed the door. Just as she was about to walk towards the study, she suddenly heard something unusual.

She glanced doubtfully at Nie Hufa and Dr. Xiao beside her. After receiving a positive answer, she paused, changed her direction, and walked straight to the curved pool in the courtyard—the one on the side. rockery.

the other end.

When Jia Ji caught a glimpse of Zhang Yu and the others coming out, he bent down and curled up into a ball, so that the green pines and white rocks could cover him tightly.

The little white cat in his arms writhed uneasily, rubbing its warm, fluffy body in Jia Ji's hands. He lightly pressed the kitten's head, signaling it to be quieter.

However, after waiting for a while, the voices of those people did not resound, but the sound of footsteps was getting closer.

He held his breath, and tried his best to lean to the side, letting the green pine branches and leaves envelop him in a shadow.

The rustling sound of skirt dragged, drilled into the cochlea, echoed in the brain, and became more and more intense, as if a cat's little paw was pressing on Jia Ji's chest, and bursts of soft itching spread from the base of the ears to the fingertips.

Then the white cat in Jia Ji's arms let out a "meow". If he felt something, he raised his head and looked through the gap between the shadows of the trees. On the raised white rock, with the light behind him, he was squinting his eyes to look at him, there seemed to be a half-smile on his lips, but it couldn't be seen clearly, as if covered by a thin veil.

She asked, "Third Young Master, what are you doing here?"

Jia Ji felt his face was hot, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the white cat jumped out of his arms, ran around Zhang Concubine a few times, then rubbed her legs, pulled her skirt, rolled and acted like a baby. I want her to hug me.

And Zhang Yu just bent down and nodded the white cat's little head, and didn't intend to hug it.

Jia Ji woke up like a dream, coughed twice, his face still flushed, he caught a glimpse of Nie Qiu and Xiao Xueyang not far away, and knew that Zhang Yu didn't really want to chat with him, but wanted to catch up with him. he's gone.

"I was just... passing by, and I'm ready to go back now."

Zhang Yu turned sideways to get out of the way, "Third Young Master, walk slowly."

Her words were very polite, Jia Ji was slightly disappointed, stood up, sighed softly, and started to go back to the room.

"and many more."

Jia Ji stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at her cautiously, and forced to hide the joy in his tone, "What's wrong?"

"I thank you for valuing me and looking for a doctor to treat me." Concubine Zhang lowered her voice and said softly, "However, third young master, the forces in this are entangled and entangled, and how can a simple-minded person easily touch it?" Touched? You don't have to worry about me, put away those unnecessary little thoughts, and protecting yourself is the only thing you need to do now."

After all, before Jia Ji could react, Concubine Zhang turned and left.

Nie Qiu looked at Jia Ji behind her standing there blankly, shook his head lightly, did not say anything about it, and followed Zhang Yu to Jia Lingchang's study together with Xiao Xueyang.

On the way, Xiao Xueyang inadvertently caught a glimpse of a deep tooth mark in Zhang Yu's palm.

The drops of blood congealed into a dark red, which was caged in her sleeves, faintly visible.

She looked at Nie Qiu and knew that he had already found out, but she just didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

"Brother Nie..." She slowed down, took two steps down, and called out in a low voice.

"Go if you want."

So Xiao Xueyang took out a roll of gauze from the medicine box, walked forward quickly, tore off a piece and handed it to Zhang Yu, "Treat the wound first, it will heal faster, so as not to suffer later."

"Excuse me, it's just a dog bite."

Having said that, Zhang Yu still caught the gauze she handed over, and wrapped it around a few times hastily to cover the tooth mark.

It's a cat and a dog. According to what Zhang Yu said, there are quite a lot of small animals in Jia's house.

This joking thought flashed through Nie Qiu's mind, and soon dissipated - his mind is now full of the incident between King Zhen'e and the former leader of the Devil's Cult, Chang Jinyu. After speaking, will you leave for Zhen'e Mansion immediately?

Another point, after he went back, he had to tell Fang Qisheng about Qi Qianyuan as soon as possible.

Now I don't know exactly what Zhou Ru is going to do. If something goes wrong on his side, Nie Qiu feels that it's not just him, but maybe everyone involved will put their lives on it.

The reason why Nie Qiu didn't want to tell Fang Qisheng was actually very simple.

Now that I want to talk about it, I can't avoid the fact that Qi Qianyuan has a handle on him, as well as the deal between them a few years ago.

The destruction of Shen Yunge cannot be avoided, and his hideous scars are difficult to heal.

Although Fang Qisheng was not a troublesome person, Nie Qiu didn't want to talk about it, so he certainly wouldn't ask too much.

But Nie Qiu didn't want to hide it.

He promised Fang Qisheng at the beginning.

At that time, they were probably talking about the topic of "Where did they learn from?" Fang Qisheng asked him, and Nie Qiu answered in a timely manner.

"I am a teacher of Shen Yun Pavilion... You have never heard of it. Shen Yun Pavilion, I was the only disciple left five years ago."

"Why?"

The setting sun is like blood, the gate of Xiayan City is half open, and the officers and soldiers stationed by the gate are dozing off, unaware that anyone is coming.

And Nie Qiu pulled the tassel of the knife, looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and said, "Now is not a good time to tell the past. If one day, the clouds bloom, the moon is bright, and the sky is full of stars, taking advantage of this opportunity, I will I'll talk to you again."

When will the clouds bloom and the moon shine?When will the sky be full of stars?

Nie Qiu thought, what he said at that time was probably an excuse, with only three parts of sincerity.

But now the two are considered to be acquainted with each other, and having a life-threatening friendship, the casual mention back then cannot be regarded as a joke.

He said that he must tell Fang Qisheng, and he needed to find the right time.

Nie Qiu secretly sighed in his heart.

Qi Qianyuan's matter, Shen Yunge's past, plus the unintentionally lost Jiansui, he has too many things to solve.

The debt of favor owed to Fang Qisheng is likely to be repaid in this lifetime.

When thinking of this, the three of them had already reached the door of Jia Lingchang's study.

There were intermittent quarrels inside, and then, the door of the study was pushed open with a bang.

Jia Zhao came out with a sullen face, frowning, his eyes swept slightly, and he saw Nie Qiu and others beside him.

His shoulders were still stained with dried blood, and the dark color covered the bird embroidered on his clothes, winding down, the line from the neck to the wrist was covered with spots of blood, like twisted and twisted The thorns are very embarrassing.

After bumping into Zhang Yu's gaze, Jia Zhao's eyes obviously dodged for a moment, and with a soft "tsk", he turned and left.

It is said that the three sons of the Jia family, the eldest son is decent, mature and prudent; the second son is reserved and reticent; Treat him like a baby.

After seeing it with his own eyes, Nie Qiu felt that the rumors were really unbelievable, and the latter two were far from what the rumors said.

Zhang Yu didn't feel embarrassed, she raised her voice and said, "Patriarch, I brought Mr. Nie and Miss Xiao over here."

After getting Jia Lingchang's consent, she waved her hand to let them in.

In the study, Jia Lingchang was rubbing his forehead. It seemed that he had just experienced a fierce battle with Jia Zhao and was very upset. After seeing Nie Qiu and Xiao Xueyang coming in, his expression eased a lot.

After roughly asking about Zhang Yu's physical condition, he praised: "As expected of the daughter of Miracle Doctor Xiao, her medical skills are as good as your father's."

Xiao Xueyang smiled shyly, "I'm still far behind. In fact, Mrs. Concubine's body is caused by Gu worms. I just wrote a prescription to get rid of the Gu worms, and I didn't do anything else."

"Just because the Langzhong who came before didn't think of this at all, Miss Xiao, you are better than them."

Jia Lingchang raised his hand, and called his servants to come in to make tea. Nie Qiu and Xiao Xueyang had already drunk enough for the night, so they just raised their cups and took a sip symbolically, as a way of doing Jia Lingchang a face up.

Watching Nie Qiu drink the tea, Jia Lingchang sat up straight, folded his hands on his knees, and looked serious.

"Nephew, Miss Xiao, I won't beat around the bush. I heard that you have gotten very close to the Demon Cult recently?"

Nie Qiu heard about it from Zhang Yu in advance, and was not too surprised. He nodded and admitted.

Finally, Xiao Xueyang couldn't help but asked, "Why does Patriarch Jia think I'm a member of the Devil's Cult?"

"Earlier, Protector Zuo came here, and he told me that if you can't find someone to heal Concubine Zhang, you can go and find Miss Xiao, and you can also have an open and honest talk with your nephew..." Jia Lingchang There was a moment of silence, "Isn't that so?"

Whether Xiao Xueyang understood or not, Nie Qiu didn't know.

But he understood.

This should have been revealed by Fang Qisheng to Zhou Ru. He should have guessed that when Fang Qisheng showed [-]% patience and tolerance to face a person, how could it be possible that he simply wanted to "repay the favor"? .

Leaving aside the doctor Dian Dan who went to find herbs for Fang Qisheng and has not returned to the imperial city, let’s talk about the deadlocked relationship between the two Demon Cult leaders and Suzakumen. We should also know that they actually lack this kind of medical skills. people.

Fang Qisheng wanted to directly pull Xiao Xueyang into the Devil's Cult.

Xiao Wuyin has a great reputation, has a bad temper, and will turn his back on him if he is in a hurry, so Xiao Xueyang became the best candidate.

Of course, it would be even better if Xiao Wuyin was brought over with the help of Xiao Xueyang.

So Fang Qisheng never objected to Xiao Xueyang coming to the door to chat and chattering, disturbing his leisure time.

So Fang Qisheng saw that the relationship between Xiao Xueyang and Huang Sheng was getting better day by day, and he didn't object - although he let the two of them live in the same room at the beginning to scare off Huang Sheng, the result was not bad for him. .

Nie Qiu took a deep breath.

With such a purposeful move, he didn't even know how true the devil's cult leader said.

Xiao Xueyang vaguely understood Jia Lingchang's meaning, she turned her head to look at Nie Qiu, and always felt that his mood was weird, completely different from when he first entered the door, even... even a little bit of anger?

She had never seen Brother Nie angry before, and she couldn't tell if it was her illusion for a while.

So Xiao Xueyang had no choice but to look away, took a sip from the teacup, and replied: "You're right, that's how it is."

"That's easy to say." Jia Lingchang tapped his fingers on his knees, "I won't hide it from you, the Jia family has already reached an agreement with the Demon Sect, and you, my nephew, know that none of the major merchant families have contacted the Demon Sect. It was my Jia family who made No.1."

He stretched out his hand, palm upwards, with five fingers facing Zhang Yu, "As you may know, Zhang Yu, she is the daughter of King Zhen'e. Now the Demon Cult urgently needs to expand its power and needs the help of King Zhen'e, so dealing with her is inevitable. The Jiao family and my Jia family and Zhen'e Zhang family are all in a relationship of mutual help, and Miss Xiao has done us such a big favor. My nephew, you are the right protector of the Demon Sect. I really feel bad about it.”

Nie Qiu responded, expressing that he understood Jia Lingchang's thoughts.

"So, if the two of you don't dislike him, you can make a sworn vow with my son Jia Zhao."

Jia Lingchang finally confided his true thoughts, "In this way, the relationship between the Demon Cult and the Jia and Zhang families will become closer. When you two have any difficulties, my Jia family can also help you."

It was Jia Zhao, not the eldest son appointed as the next head of the family, let alone the third most favored son.

If something really happened to the Demon Sect, Jia Lingchang would directly push Jia Zhao out, saying that the second son was young and ignorant, and he just made friends with crooked friends, and as the head of the family, he didn't know about it at all, so he could win the job. clean.

When it is a last resort, it is nothing to the Jia family if Jia Zhao is really sacrificed.

There are three young masters in the Jia family, but there are as many as seven or eight young ladies, all of whom are extremely intelligent and quick-witted.

Suddenly there was another righteous brother, Xiao Xueyang couldn't accept it, but he didn't talk to him.

Because Nie Qiu agreed, she had no reason to disagree.

Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Jia Lingchang was obviously in a better mood, so he asked his servants to invite Jia Zhao who had gone back to change his clothes.

Come on, come on, my favorite fight part is coming
