After Yin Ci finished tossing Sun Huaijin, he went back to his room along the corridor pavilion. The moonlight is elegant and the night breeze is gentle. There are two figures on the eaves not far away, and a swaying goose can be vaguely seen. Yin Ci stopped and looked for a moment, then turned and walked towards Shi Jingzhi's room.
After all was said and done, he didn't bother to show off to Sun Huaijin. Even though Sun Mansion always kept dark lights, Yin Ci was no longer used to spending long nights alone.
But he missed it this time - Shi Jingzhi's room was dimly lit, and even his pillow and luggage were missing. Master Shi was not so thick-skinned, and the two of them thought of something again.
Yin Ci turned around and walked back to his room pretending that nothing happened. As expected, Shi Jingzhi was leaning on the bedside, his head moving slightly, and he was about to fall asleep. The wick of the candle had not been cut for a while, and the candle flame stretched so long that it cast a warm light on Shi Jingzhi's long hair. Yin Ci walked quietly to the bed, and Shi Jingzhi sniffed it. Without even opening his eyes, he hugged her without any scruples.
"Well, here we come." He wrapped his hands tightly around Yin Ci's waist and hummed. "What did the old man say?"
"We have made an appointment. I will come to propose marriage in person." Yin Ci smiled and patted him on the back. "Okay, move in and make room for me."
Shi Jingzhi woke up with excitement and said excitedly: "Are you serious?"
Yin Ci: "..." The reactions of the old and the young are really two extremes.
"Seriously." He said helplessly, "Let's look at the lanterns first, and then pick a good day to have a banquet. When the time comes, bring your servants and invite Huaijin. Do whatever you want to do, okay?"
"Then I have to live well until next year." Shi Jingzhi sighed with a smile.
Yin Ci frowned: "You smell very strong of blood. Did you vomit blood?"
"It's still the same as before, it doesn't matter."
Yin Ci didn't look very good, and he took Shi Jingzhi's pulse for a while. The pulse condition is no different from when they first met - Ren Shijing's martial arts is getting better and better day by day, and his skills are meticulous. This person's physical condition has not improved at all, and he is still declining step by step.
Yin Ci didn't take it seriously at first, but now his heart seemed to be filled with coals of fire, which was very burning. Seeing the flesh right in front of him, thanks to Shi Jingzhi, he was still able to make up his mind to investigate the Fairy Association.
"When I first met Sun Huaijin, I just thought about how to use him. Tonight, he looked like a complete elder, but I was a little happy."
As if aware of Yin Ci's worry, as soon as he lay down, Shi Jingzhi picked him up from behind. Several beams of true energy were shot out following Shi Jingzhi's movements, and the flickering candlelight in the room was instantly extinguished, leaving only the moonlight in the room.
Master Shi's tone was lazy, heavy with sleepiness, and sounded strangely sincere.
"To be honest, I really want to stay here for two more days." Shi Jingzhi buried his face in Yin Ci's long hair, "I have friends who have endured hardship together, elders who are connected by blood, and people I cherish... Since that day I separated from you in Juyi Valley, I have never been so satisfied."
Yin Ci grasped Shi Jingzhi's hand tightly.
The hand was warm and strong, and the embrace behind her was extremely warm. Yin Ci's fingertips brushed Jingzhi's fingers, opened them little by little, and turned over: "You are quite easy to satisfy."
Since that day when they saw the "real body" and the two of them had a heart-to-heart relationship, Yin Ci never teased this person again. At this moment, after listening to Shi Jingzhi's coquettish words, he felt a bitter taste in his heart and just wanted to move his mind away.
The moonlight is just right, and it’s just right for some intimacy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came face to face with Shi Jingzhi, Shi Jingzhi said with a serious face: "Does Aci remember the 'Battle of Shafu'?"
One of Yin Ciwei's disrespectful hands was frozen in the quilt, and he slowly took it back: "... What?"
"The Battle of Shafu was the most famous battle in Xilong during the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the Qituo people were also involved, and the battle line was very long. It was all up to General Sun Wan to turn the tide."
Yin Ci couldn't understand how a soft night talk turned into a historical investigation. His heart was as clear as water and he said: "The main altar of the Chigou Sect is in Shafu. I have been the leader of the Chigou Sect for so long, so I have to know it even if I don't know."
"In what month will the Battle of Shafu be held?"
I actually passed the exam! Yin Ci only felt that the development overnight was getting more and more weird: "May... no, June."
Shi Jingzhi said meaningfully: "How could Aci's first reaction be 'May'? No matter which book, the Battle of Shafu is recorded in June. That's right. You are immortal, is it possible?" See that battle?"
"I just remembered it wrong. I probably didn't see him, it was just a slip of the tongue late at night." Indeed, whether it is folklore or book records, the Battle of Shafu happened in June. But before he realized it, the answer "May" came out.
The bad thing about living for too long is that everything you look at seems to be invisible, and you can’t tell the difference between true and false memories. After going back and forth, Yin Ci completely lost all thoughts of teasing this person and lay down flat on his back.
However, Master Shi did not give up: "During the Battle of Twin Rivers in mid-June, Sun Huan led his troops in Twin Rivers. Shafu and Twin Rivers are far apart. Could it be that Sun Wang was riding an arrow and horse back and forth?"
"Perhaps there was a mistake in the records. When the People's Republic was founded, there were big and small battles, and they were fought every day. Three hundred years have passed, and it is normal that the date is not accurate." Yin Ci said calmly, "I know what you want to check, I know how to lead troops, mostly from my time as a Suzhi. Not to mention leading troops, I am also good at embroidery. Master, do you want to check out the Kaiguo Embroidery Workshop?"
Shi Jingzhi never knew how to obey this person's momentum. He stood up and continued to look at Yin Ci: "You don't seem to like talking about leading troops to fight."
"I've checked it myself, but to no avail. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. Go to sleep."
There are thousands of illusions, all related to the "delusion" of "leading troops", with the most inexplicable and desperate ending. Everything will be answered by themselves once they find out about the Yinxian Gui, so there is no need for them to rush.
At the end, the head of the fox fairy got closer and closer: "I just found a book -"
Boy, it’s not over.
Yin Ci took a deep breath, pushed Shi Jingzhi to the side, and then hugged him tightly like a warning: "I'll save the trivial topics for now. We'll talk about them on the way to Shafu. You just vomited a lot of blood, so why don't you take a break early... "
It didn't matter that he hugged Shi Jingzhi tightly, and even the slightest change in his body did not escape Yin Ci's eyes.
Yin Ci: "..."
People say that a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and the romance in the tent is worth a thousand dollars. As a result, when he arrived at the head of the country, what slipped out of his mouth was the history of the founding of the country. No wonder he just kept talking, trying to hide his nervousness.
Yin Ci couldn't help but laugh, and immediately bit Shi Jingzhi's ear: "So Master is so nervous. He kept talking about getting married at first, but now he is shrinking?"
Discussing history is better than chewing on your fingers. I've made a lot of progress.
"Wuchenyan can cope with the cravings, but the current situation is more irritating than all the cravings I've had in my entire life. I'm afraid that I can't control it and the scene won't look good." Shi Jingzhi's words were sincere.
Yin Ci shook his head, untied Shi Jingzhi's hair tie, and his long hair snaked along the pillow mat. The light medicinal fragrance dispersed, and Yin Ci propped up his body: "Why are you thinking so much? You can touch me of course. To lose control and hurt others in my body, you must have the ability-"
Dude, dunk, dunk.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was the sound of crutches tapping the ground outside. The sound was not loud, sometimes distant and sometimes close. It sounded like an anxious old man stumbling back and forth outside the door.
… Maybe there’s just a distraught old man hanging around.
Sun Huaijin may not have any bad intentions. The old man has lived for more than a hundred years, but he never imagined that the two of them were so shameless. He just had nowhere to express his tangled emotions, so he had no choice but to walk around in the corridor to relax.
The sound of the crutches hitting the ground was like the sound of a wooden fish, and the charming thoughts of the two people who had just woke up suddenly turned into smoke in the Buddhist hall. After all, they were not so shameless that they were knowingly frightened - Yin Ci no longer had any taboos, and he could not do anything in other people's homes or in front of others. The affairs of other people’s juniors. He slowly retracted his hand for the second time, his heart still intact. Shi Jingzhi wrapped himself in this quilt, like a silkworm chrysalis that had lost its vitality.
The soft sound of tuk tuk persisted for a long time. The two of them looked at each other angrily, had no choice but to get dressed and tie up their hair, and fell asleep together as usual.
On the second day after Shen Zhu came back, the Kushan sect and his party were ready to leave.
The news brought by Shen Zhu is very certain. Through some twists and turns, she secretly inspected the bones of the Yan family's concubine. Yan Budu's nominal "birth mother" has actually never given birth to a child. She also verified the local rumors in Qizhou one by one - that Yan Budu was most likely the blood of the royal family who had been secretly exchanged.
"It is said that someone told the daughter of the Yan family who entered the palace that the child she was born in was in a special condition and would not die well if she stayed in the palace. So she paid the palace maid's servants and exchanged the stillborn fetus for her son." Shen Zhu sighed with emotion, "No, there is no hard evidence. The people in the palace handled it very cleanly back then."
Who would have thought that this royal family member would be so romantic, and his speed of spreading branches and leaves would be extraordinary.
a long distance away.
"... Yan Budu was originally of royal blood." One person sighed softly. "The imperial court is behind, no wonder my faction wanted to kill them all in the first place. How can women and children be blamed?"
Shi Zhongyu clenched the Niyang Order in his hand.
There is a small mechanism on the back of the Niyang Order that can be opened and closed, and the words "Know your shame and then be brave" are engraved on the cover. On the inside of the cover are inscriptions engraved in small regular script, which must be read very carefully. It is not so much a record of Taiheng's secrets as it is a secret that generations of Taiheng senior officials regret most and feel guilty about.
"Sister, your carriage and horses are ready. Do you want to ride in our carriage even though you are so expensive? The carriage is very bumpy. Why not go ahead and rent one? There are people hanging on the wheels. Bamboo strips, comfortable to sit on.”
Shi Zhongyu wore a little makeup and didn't wear the usual smart clothes. Compared with the Jianghu heroine, she looks more like an ordinary woman from a merchant family. She smiled at the coachman and said, "Your car is the fastest to Shafu, right? I'm in a hurry to get home, so please bother me."
The coachman was stunned and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hey, sister, let me tell you the truth, things are not going well over there in the northwest recently. You might as well stay in Yidu for two more months, and then... you... When I am alone, I am afraid of provoking the devil."
"Brother, don't worry."
Shi Zhongyu got into the pile of goods and slowly lowered the curtain.
Taiheng's convoy to Shafu set off soon, using the fastest carriage and taking the smoothest trade road. Only the small caravans that traveled lightly would not be left behind.
"... In the end, I still don't know whether I will offend the 'Demon Cult' or the 'righteous way'."
