The carriage arrived at the foot of Hades Mountain. As soon as they got out of the carriage, Pei Ziao, who had been waiting there, hurried over.
"Old grandmother, Aunt Yun."
Pei Ziao came to pay respects in front of Liu Shi and An Shi, and said: "Unfortunately, the Emperor happened to be hunting on the Underworld Mountain today. I'm afraid we won't be able to go to the top of the mountain. However, the phoenix flowers on the middle of the mountain are also blooming very well. Tea and cakes , Zi Ao has already arranged everything, you see..."
"It's okay." Liu said with a smile: "I didn't want to climb that high, it's good to be on the mountainside."
Pei Ziao said hello and invited them to sit in human sedan chairs.
This human-powered sedan chair is different from the usual soft sedan chair. It is made of two thick moso bamboos with a bamboo reclining chair in the middle.
The person sat on a bamboo chair, carried by two strong men at the front and back, and wobbled up the mountain.
Experienced bearers can achieve that no matter how rough the road is, the ups and downs of the chair are the same, making the person sitting in the clouds feel like they are in the clouds, floating up the mountain while admiring the beautiful scenery.
All the aristocrats in Liguo don't like this kind of enjoyment, and some aristocratic families will specially keep some bearers like this for use when they go up the mountain.
Yun Ruoyan naturally liked it too.
Liu Shi, An Shi, and Yun Ruoyao all got into the soft sedan chair, and Yi Qianying asked Yun Ruoyan to sit in the sedan chair in front of her.
Yun Ruoyan casually looked at the two big men carrying the sedan chair for her. Seeing that they were strong and strong, she nodded in satisfaction and sat on them.
Yi Qianying was overjoyed.
These two big men were hired by her with a lot of money. When the sedan chair was carried halfway up the mountain, just a slight sprain of her foot accidentally could throw Yun Ruoyan into the cliff!
Although the cliff on Minghuang Mountain is not a deep abyss, it is full of strange rocks. If a person falls, he will peel off his skin even if he is not dead!
The old lady's sedan chair walked in the front, followed by An's, then Yun Ruoyao, Yun Ruoyu, then Yun Ruoyan, Yi Qianying followed behind Yun Ruoyan, and finally Pei Ziao.
Pei Ziao looked past Yi Qianying and landed on Yun Ruoyan. He saw that her black hair was like a cloud, her figure was slim, and she was dressed in a pink gauze dress, fluttering in the wind with a faint fairy air.
Occasionally, a side face, with a straight nose and plump lips, is far more beautiful than Yi Qianying.
Pei Ziao once heard from his father, Pei Yingxiong, that Yun Ruoyan's mother, Lin Yuemei, was a well-known beauty in Liguo back then.
Her daughter would not be ugly, but Yun Ruoyan had a bright red birthmark on her face, ruining a beautiful face.
Some time ago, the birthmark was scratched, leaving a scar, Pei Ziao recalled now, Yun Ruoyan's face was bleeding in the secret place, and he felt a little nauseous.
However, scars can be healed. In Liu's yard yesterday, Pei Ziao saw that the scars on Yun Ruoyan's face were almost healed.
If he could find an elixir that could cure birthmarks... Pei Ziao couldn't help but fantasize about it.
The group of people has already reached the steepest part of the mountain road. This section is close to the cliff on one side, and there is a cliff two feet away on the other side.
Pei Ziao restrained his mind, and looked at Yun Ruoyan in front of him without blinking.
He was aware of Yi Qianying's plan, although he was a little entangled, but he always knew which choice was the most beneficial to him, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
But at this moment, looking at Yun Ruoyan's beautiful back, Pei Ziao suddenly felt a kind of reluctance that he had never felt before, and it tugged at his heart.
This heart-wrenching feeling made him lose control for a while, as if he didn't even realize it, he blurted out, "Sister Ruoyan!"
Yun Ruoyan turned her head slightly when she heard Pei Ziao's voice, and at this moment, the soft sedan carrying her was tilted to the side of the cliff!
Xi Lan next to the sedan chair yelled "Miss" in fright, but she walked inside, and the sedan chair was lifted so high that she couldn't reach her own lady even if she stretched out her arms, so she could only watch Yun Ruoyan's body leaning towards the cliff. .
A smile appeared on Yi Qianying's face, she saw the god of death waving to Yun Ruoyan.
At this time, Pei Ziao behind her jumped up, and under Yi Qianying's startled gaze, he stretched out his hand to grab Yun Ruoyan.
But what Pei Ziao didn't expect was that Yun Ruoyan was so calm in such a sudden and dangerous situation!
Although most of her body was tilted out, she was as light as a swallow! He grabbed the bun on the head of the big man in front with one hand, then used his strength to turn around, and kicked the big man behind him in the face again... with the help of strength... The body stood firmly on the mountain road!
"Sister Ruoyan, are you okay?" Pei Ziao jumped up and fell to the ground immediately, looking at Yun Ruoyan with eyes full of concern.
Yun Ruoyan put her hands behind her back, her eyes full of sneering.
She turned her head to look at Yi Qianying who was stunned, then walked up to Pei Ziao in two steps, raised her toes slightly, leaned into his ear, and exhaled wildly, "You are still too young to harm me!"
She, Yun Ruoyan, has been a human being for two lifetimes, and her combined age is over thirty, even a casual snigger from Yi Qianying can't hide from her old man's eyes.
Besides, Yun Ruoyan had heard of this trick of throwing people in the sedan chair in her previous life, so when Yi Qianying asked her to sit in the sedan chair, Yun Ruoyan was already on guard.
"I..." Pei Ziao choked.
"The agreement has changed." Yun Ruoyan raised two fingers and waved in front of Pei Ziao's eyes: "Two high-grade elixir."
Amidst Pei Ziao's distress, Yun Ruoyan said coldly: "This is the price for your tricks!"
"Miss." Xi Lan looked at her own lady in shock, her eyes were red.
"It's okay!" Yun Ruoyan smiled at her calmly.
The people in front didn't know what was going on behind them, and the sedan chair had already turned the corner wobbly.
"You, get up for me and keep going!" Yun Ruoyan pointed to the two bearers lying on the ground.
One of the two porters had their hair pulled loose, and the other had a tooth kicked out. Knowing Yun Ruoyan's strength, they no longer dared to play tricks, and carried Yun Ruoyan up the mountain steadily.
Liu Shi, An Shi and the Yun family sisters had been sitting in the pavilion for a while before they saw Yun Ruoyan's sedan chair slowly coming up.
"How did you get here?" Liu asked.
"Oh, I had a stomachache just now, so I went to make it easier." Yi Qianying hurriedly replied.
Yun Ruoyan didn't intend to expose her, because based on past experience, as long as there was no harm to the family's interests, the elders of Yun's family always took a peaceful attitude.
Saying is tantamount to not saying, it's better to save some saliva.
Everyone sat in the pavilion eating the pastries prepared by Pei Ziao and gossiping. Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the surrounding pink phoenix flowers fell to the ground, and the fragrance of the flowers wafted away, rich and fragrant.
All the people sniffed deeply intoxicated, An suggested that everyone should disperse and play separately, and the old grandmother would be taken care of by her.
The girls were also allowed to play on their own, and Xilan happily followed the girls into the phoenix flower forest. She told Yun Ruoyan that she would take this opportunity to collect some phoenix petals and go back to make pastries.
Yun Ruoyan found a quiet place, and seized the time, crossed her legs and closed her eyes to sense the fire element in her spiritual power.
Pei Ziao was so annoyed by the complicated emotions in his heart that he didn't understand, so he vented his anger on Yi Qianying, made a face to her, and led the servant into the forest alone.
Yi Qianying felt aggrieved and resentful in her heart, she stood there and shed tears uncontrollably.
"Miss, don't be sad." The girl He Xiang comforted her, she couldn't figure out how Mr. Pei still had the heart to show her face because of her good looks and good personality.
Yi Qianying looked at He Xiang with tears in her eyes, suddenly she had an idea, and said, "He Xiang, how do I treat you normally?"
"Miss is like a family member to He Xiang." He Xiang said, the loyalty in his eyes was about to overflow.
Yi Qianying was very satisfied. She had been dependent on others for many years, and she had learned to read people's opinions and buy people's hearts since she was a child. The pawn He Xiang was cultivated by her painstaking efforts.
"Then I want you to do something for me, are you willing?"
"As long as He Xiang can do it, he must do his best." He Xiang said.
"Good lotus fragrance." Yi Qianying looked like she was about to cry again, and said, "When I marry into the Pei family, I will promise you a good family, so that you can taste what it's like to be a wife."
Yun Ruoyan was immersed in her cultivation, when she suddenly heard someone calling her, the voice was quite anxious.
Yun Ruoyan finished her practice and walked out of the forest, just in time to see He Xiang looking for her anxiously.
"Second miss, it's not good." He Xiang said anxiously when she saw Yun Ruoyan rushing over immediately.
Yun Ruoyan frowned: "What's wrong?"
"Xi Lan..." He Xiang swallowed.
"What's wrong with Xilan?" Yun Ruoyan asked quickly.
"Xi Lan strayed into the Royal Hunting Ground by mistake and didn't come out for a long time. I don't know if she will be caught as an assassin. Second Miss, hurry up and check with me. If you are mistaken for an assassin, you may be caught." He was shot on the spot!"
The anxious expression on He Xiang's face was extremely real, Yun Ruoyan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately followed He Xiang to the depths of the forest.
After walking for about half a cup of tea, He Xiang took Yun Ruoyan to a deep ditch deep in the forest, on which a single-plank bridge was built.
He Xiang pointed to the other side of the ditch and said, "That's right there. Xi Lan said that she smelled the camellias over there, and said she wanted to pick some camellias to make a pillow for Miss. Then she passed by and never came back!"
"You know it's a forbidden area, why don't you stop her!" Yun Ruoyan said.
"I told you!" He Xiang hurriedly said, "But she said that there is no one here, she will come back as soon as she goes, and she also said to make me a camellia pillow..."
Before He Xiang could finish speaking, Yun Ruoyan rushed over!
Yun Ruoyan, who is a human being in this world, is very concerned about people who are really good to her. Whether it's the sisters of the Lin family in the secret realm, or the two girls beside her, she is willing to take risks for it.
Yi Qianying grasped Yun Ruoyan's mentality and did not harm her again and again, but this time she was deceived all of a sudden!
Yun Ruoyan quickly searched for Xilan's figure in the forbidden area, but after half a cup of tea, she had already searched the surrounding area, and there was no sign of Xilan at all.
It was only at this time that Yun Ruoyan began to have some doubts, and secretly said "Damn it", but if she really cared about it, she would be chaotic.
She was about to go back, when she heard shouts not far away, she quickly dodged and hid under a thick phoenix tree.
"The assassin is running over there, chase after him!" There were seven or eight people in that group, all wearing the clothes of the royal guard, yelling and ran towards Yun Ruoyan.
Yun Ruoyan held her breath, restrained her breath, and huddled her small body behind the tree trunk. The group of people almost brushed the edge of the big tree where Yun Ruoyan was hiding.
When the footsteps of the group of people got farther and farther away and gradually disappeared, Yun Ruoyan dared to poke her head out a little to look.
Suddenly, Yun Ruoyan felt a chill on her forehead, and a faint smell of blood slid from Yun Ruoyan's forehead to the bridge of her nose along with a cold liquid.
She stretched out her hand to wipe it, and when she put it in front of her eyes, it was indeed blood!
Just when Yun Ruoyan raised her head to look up, a piece of jet black fell down like a black cloud, covering Yun Ruoyan.
Yun Ruoyan's eyes were completely dark in an instant, and she was struggling to rush out of the darkness, but her hands were suddenly grabbed by another pair of unknown hands.
She opened her mouth subconsciously and wanted to scream, but then a piece of cold softness attached to her lips, blocking her voice and her breath.
With this cold touch, Yun Ruoyan's sharp-edged face and a pair of eyes that were as black as pearls radiated a cold light instantly appeared in Yun Ruoyan's mind.
"It's him!" Yun Ruoyan slowly opened her eyes wide in the darkness.
