Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

The summer heat in Runan is so intense that one can sweat all over without moving.

Chu Xinle has already started to wear thin clothes. He is afraid of the cold and the heat. The green bamboo pattern clothes set off his elegance and cover up his brilliance, so that he doesn't look so aggressive.

He sat on the left side, Xing Yanhong sat on the right side, and the two looked at the people having fun outside the room.

"Yi An is really not in a hurry, there is a bug around you." Xing Yanhong ignored him, seeing that Lin Hao was competing with Chen Fan.

Chu Xinle took a sip of tea and said, "There is no rush for this matter. This bug has been lying in wait for Shi Jiaming for a long time. The reason why Shi Jiaming jumped into the river is definitely not as simple as committing suicide."

Xing Yanhong nodded, and when Chu Xinle put down the teacup, he took a sip from his teacup, tasted it slowly, and said, "It smells good."

Chu Xin glanced at him happily, then snatched the cup back from his hand, and said, "Third Young Master, don't be in a hurry, you had a great time playing in Runan."

Xing Yanhong imitated his tone and said: "This matter is not in a hurry. Even if I want to, I can't leave. I can't even get out of the city gate. Besides, if I want to leave, people may not be willing to follow me."

"Oh?" Chu Xinle began to pretend to be crazy, and said, "With the charm of the third son, can he not go with you?"

Xing Yanhong sighed in embarrassment, shrugged helplessly and looked at Chu Xinle, and said, "Yes, third son, I have always been a gentle person. If you say he won't leave, can I still kidnap him?"

Chu Xinle couldn't hold back her giggles, her brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and the light in her affectionate eyes was even brighter: "Third Young Master is gentle?"

"What? Yi An, tell the truth, am I not gentle with you?" Xing Yanhong asked.

Chu Xinle thought for a long time in distress, then shook her head at him.

Unexpectedly, before he finished shaking his head, a hand stretched out and hooked his neck to bring him over. Xing Yanhong touched his forehead to his forehead, breathing interlacedly, and his deep magnetic smile acted as Chu Xinle's ears.

"It's the first time Saburo reads it to you, so he's already considered gentle."

Chu Xinle looked at him, smiled lightly and raised his hand to break away the big hand that was around the back of his neck. The red tide in his earlobe had already betrayed him, but he still said calmly: "Then you are too fierce, I don't want to like."

Xing Yanhong saw the redness on his ears right away, and kindly did not expose him, and followed his words: "Yi An is too ruthless, I like it."

Chu Xinle looked at him sideways, and Xing Yanhong also looked at him. The two were at war, but in the end they looked at each other and smiled, and looked away together.

They returned to the topic again, Xing Yanhong looked at the figure in the courtyard, and asked: "Before you took possession of Shi Jiaming's body, those who were by his side, Qingzhu Yulian and the second brother of the Shi family..."

Chu Xinle interrupted him, unwilling to think about it, raised her hand to rub her temples, and said with a sigh, "It's too deep."

"No idea?" Xing Yanhong asked.

Chu Xinle looked at the happy laughing people in the yard, each of them seemed to have no city, the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared, and said: "That's not true, among them, someone told me lies."

"Huh?" Xing Yanhong raised his eyebrows.

"Don't talk about this, the group of Shijia soldiers headed by Liu Tainiu has a total of 8000 people, and now they are all under my command. I bought a piece of land from Yongyi Mountain in the northwest of Runan for them to use as a training ground." Chu Xinle blinked at Xing Yanhong blink.

"Tell me what to do. Yi An can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't need to report to his husband." Xing Yanhong took advantage of the opportunity.

Seeing that she was begging for help, Chu Xinle didn't refute this sentence, she seemed to tacitly say: "They still need some new weapons."

Xing Yanhong looked at Chu Xinle's appearance, this fox would only be so obedient when begging for help, under the innocent appearance was deceptive cunning, unfortunately, Xing Yanhong knew it was a hole dug for himself, but this was Chu Yi'an No matter what is underneath, Xing Yanhong is willing to dig.

"How much money do you want?" Xing Yanhong took a sip of tea.

Chu Xinle stretched out three fingers obediently.

"Chu Yi'an, it's too much. Your third son didn't bring that much money when he came to Runan." Xing Yanhong almost spit out the unswallowed tea.

Chu Xinle withdrew her hand, put her chin on her hands, looked at Xing Yanhong with those eyes, and didn't speak.

"..." Xing Yanhong clenched his back molars: "I am Chu Yi'an who owed you in my previous life. I gave you blood, money, and my heart. Stabbing you is my retribution. "

"It's fine if you don't give it, I'll go find Hou Yingnan." Chu Xinle was about to get up as she spoke.

"Sit down." Xing Yanhong stopped him with a low growl, sighed, and said in a compromise: "I will give you all the money that the third son brought from Jiuyuan."

***

When Hou Yingnan returned to the mansion, the sky had already darkened. As soon as he entered the mansion, a figure came out of his room.

Without even looking at it, he squeezed his fat body into the chair and said, "If you are a timid person, Mr. Shi would have been scared out of his wits."

Shi Zhenming sat down unceremoniously, and poured a cup of tea by himself, Hou Yingnan put away the wretched look on his face, and looked a little shrewd.

"I heard that Yun Duanmu is going to be the head of the Yun family?" Hou Yingnan picked up the peanuts on the table and ate them.

Shi Zhenming put down the teacup and said, "Yes, according to my description, it's pretty close, but..."

"But what?" Hou Yingnan asked.

"My people said that he saw that Yun Duanmu was exchanging letters with people, and that someone was secretly helping Yun Duanmu." Shi Zhenming said.

Hou Yingnan paused for throwing peanuts into her mouth, and asked, "Huh? Have you found out who it is?"

Shi Zhenming glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "It is certain that the letter came from Runan."

Hou Yingnan frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "What does this person have to do with Yun Duanmu, that he is willing to help a person who only drinks and plays all day long?"

"It doesn't matter what his relationship is, anyway, if Yun Duanmu can be elected, it will be beneficial to our Runan." Shi Zhenming said: "But the deeper this person hides, the more I want to see him Who the hell..."

"By the way." Hou Yingnan seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "Can you feel the abnormality of your second brother?"

Shi Zhen pondered for a moment, then said: "There are too many weird things about him, perhaps, since he fell into the water and woke up again, he is much smarter than before."

Hou Yingnan nodded her head in approval. After eating a plate of peanuts, another servant brought out another plate. It seemed that she realized that there was Shi Zhenming next to her, and asked politely, "Do you want some?"

Shi Zhenming waved his hand and refused.

"What was the character of Shi Jiaming in the past?" Hou Yingnan had only heard that the second son of the Shi family fell into the water, and it was said that he had already entered the coffin at that time, but who knew he would crawl out of the coffin by himself.

At that time, Hou Yingnan had never seen the second young master of the Shi family, so she was naturally not at ease, but thinking about it now, she would find that it was a miracle for a person to wake up after falling into the water.

"He is cowardly and old-fashioned, cautious and careful, which is very different from now." Shi Zhenming recalled.

"That's weird." Tired of eating, Hou Yingnan put the peanuts back on the plate and said, "It's impossible for someone to be too different from his former self, Mr. Shi, haven't you ever doubted it? "

Shi Zhenming looked at him, Hou Yingnan's fat meat looked greasy under the candlelight.

"Of course I doubted it, but he is Shi Jiaming's appearance, and Shi Jiaming's body, even if I doubt it, there is no way to find out." Shi Zhenming said.

Hou Yingnan seemed to be tired from sitting in one position. He twisted his body with great difficulty and said, "I have read some brochures about resurrecting the dead. There were such people in the past."

"Borrowing a dead body?" Shi Zhenming looked horrified, and asked half-believingly, "You mean that the real Shi Jiaming had already died when he fell into the river, but now this one is just using Shi Jiaming's identity?"

He thought for a long time, and then asked: "Then who is Shi Jiaming in his body now?"

"This person is very powerful, and he is very good at deceiving people's hearts." Hou Yingnan murmured.

Shi Zhenming seemed to have thought of something, looked up at Hou Yingnan, and said, "Only one of the people sent to Xuelin last year came back alive. I remember that person said before dying..."

Hou Yingnan narrowed his eyes, Shi Zhenming's expression was stern, his brows were further frowned, the candlelight flickered on their faces, exuding a chill.

"He said that Second Master Shi knows how to conceal weapons." Shi Zhenming's words were like a certain stone that fell into the calm lake with a plop, causing waves.

"Hidden weapon..." Hou Yingnan had an unconcealable joy on his face, and at this moment his thoughts were fully connected.

So is Shi Zhenming.

"It is said that Xing Yanhong stabbed Qing Cang to death that year." Hou Yingnan smiled at Shi Zhenming.

Shi Zhenming nodded and smiled, "Yes."

The chill just now was wiped out, and the two of them were like two brothers drinking tea and chatting, gagging.

"But he is not the only one who knows how to hide weapons." Hou Yingnan said.

Shi Zhenming sipped the cool tea, the already completely dark night enveloped the heat that had nowhere to radiate, and the two of them were sweating all over their bodies.

"That's right, that's what you read in the book, guesses can't be taken as facts." Shi Zhenming took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands.

Hou Yingnan also struggled to take out a handkerchief from her arms to wipe off the sticky sweat on her face, and said, "Then check it out, it will always reveal the truth."

Undercurrents are raging in Hou's Mansion, and so is Shi's Mansion.

Old Chen came over and said to Shi Enze who was sitting in the room bored, "I saw the eldest son enter the Hou's mansion."

Hearing this, Shi Enze frowned calmly, and turned his head to look at the oil lamp on the table. The stern aura around him was overwhelming, and Old Chen bowed his head and restrained himself from stepping back.

"Hou Linchang was able to plead guilty so quickly and easily, there must be something strange about it." Shi Enze said suddenly.

Old Chen didn't understand, and asked, "But Hou Linchang bit his tongue and killed himself in the dungeon..."

Shi Enze turned his eyes away from the wick of the oil lamp, and turned to the outside of the house. The door was open, and all the servants who were waiting on the side avoided. The yard was silent, only the chirping of insects one after another.

"Yes, he has committed all the crimes, ranging from abusing his power to seeking power and usurping the throne. It is because of this that he is more suspicious." Shi Enze closed his eyes and listened to the insects outside the house. The air was dull and disturbing. Make him irritable.

"He's covering up and hiding something." Old Chen realized.

Shi Enze acquiesced, opened his eyes, returned to the topic at the beginning, and continued: "Shi Zhenming chose the Hou family as a shield, thinking that he would be able to sit back and relax, huh..." Shi Enze made a cold voice in his nasal cavity. Hmph, said decisively: "It's ridiculous."

Old Chen bowed his head and said nothing.

"Have you brought him today's medicine?" Shi Enze asked.

Old Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Shi Enze moved to the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and said confidently: "So what if he has the Hou family? Xing Yanhong is in my hands, and only I can cure the poison on his body. There is the whole Jiuyuan in front of me. "
