When Ji Yunhe rushed outside Lin Haoqing's room, there happened to be a circle of elders outside.
Everyone's faces were solemn, and everyone looked at the room, and there were bursts of questioning voices from the room.
"Why don't you ignore my request! Burn the corpse of the owner of the valley privately!"
"Master Shaogu wants to hide something!"
Ji Yunhe raised his eyebrows after hearing this. It turned out that these elders went to her courtyard to convince her to be the valley owner, but they came here to find Lin Haoqing...
Ji Yunhe pushed aside the elders who were blocking them in front of him, and stepped into Lin Haoqing's room. When everyone saw her coming, they thought about it in their hearts, and then moved out of the way. Let Ji Yunhe walk into the back room smoothly.
As soon as she came, the room was quiet for a while.
Lin Haoqing turned his head and glanced at Ji Yunhe. Under the pressure of everyone, he didn't look good. He put his hand on the table and held the pen in his hand tightly, and the ink on the tip of the pen had already smudged a large ink mark on the rice paper.
He looked at Ji Yunhe's eyes with a bit of sarcasm, and there seemed to be a sentence in his eyes - "Are you also here to force the palace?"
Ji Yunhe didn't shy away from his eyes, and didn't use any unnecessary nonsense. He clasped his fists and saluted: "Gu master."
Lin Haoqing was taken aback.
All the people around were stunned.
Ji Yunhe's salutation was "Grain Master", not "Shaogu Master".
She actually showed her attitude directly in front of everyone and wanted to surrender to Lin Haoqing!
Some elders immediately scolded: "The succession ceremony of the Valley Lord has not yet been completed. It is inappropriate to call the Dharma protector so!"
"Then how do you match the etiquette?" Ji Yunhe turned his head and stared directly at the elder who asked the question, "Calling you the owner of the valley, can you meet the etiquette?" The elder's expression changed slightly, and Ji Yunhe continued with a smile, "The owner of the valley is seriously ill, Shunde When the princess came, Master Shaogu took me to meet the princess, and acted on behalf of the master. When the princess left, the master of the valley passed away, and the identity of master of Shaogu is here. What is the ceremony of succeeding the throne? What's wrong with me calling him a Valley Master?"
"This!..." The elder was silent, and the other opened his mouth again: "The owner of the valley died strangely, and the truth is unknown. How can you be so hasty to establish a new owner?"
"Since the truth is still unknown, shouldn't it be time to set up a new owner and investigate this matter thoroughly? How could it not be grief since the death of the first master Gu, as the son of man? Who else wants to find out the truth more than him? Does he have other plans?"
When Ji Yunhe said these words, everyone was shocked, the elders looked at each other in dismay, and no one said more.
Seeing that Ji Yunhe was like this, they had no idea for a while, and after a moment of silence, they all walked away.
After a while, only the two of them were left in Lin Haoqing's room.
Ji Yunhe closed the door of Lin Haoqing's room, entered the back room again, moved a stool, sat across from Lin Haoqing's desk, and smiled: "After so many years, this tongue has not been practiced in vain. It's still useful. Right?"
Lin Haoqing looked at her, Ji Yunhe's expression now reminded him of the girl who was laughing happily in the valley of flowers.
She would take the garland he gave her and ask him, "Brother Haoqing, do you think I look good?"
Lin Haoqing thought about the past, and his expression softened a little. He replied, "Yes, this tongue is very powerful. But..." He paused, "How can the Dharma protector be so kind today?"
"No, I'm not kind. I helped you because I wanted you to help me." She said directly, "Gu master."
Lin Haoqing put down the pen in his hand and kneaded the rice paper stained with ink on the table into a ball: "I can't let go of the merman. You've seen the look in the eyes of the Shunde princess looking at the merman."
Mentioning this, the smile on Ji Yunhe's face converged.
"Let him go, and the entire Demon Controlling Valley will be buried with him." Lin Haoqing looked up at Ji Yunhe, "Though these people and I are not good people, but I don't want to die, they shouldn't just die like this."
"I didn't ask you to release the merman directly." Ji Yunhe said, "I just want you to do me a favor."
"What are you busy with?"
"I want you to order me to send the merman to the capital in the name of the owner of the valley."
Lin Haoqing raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do?"
"The merman is stubborn. He regards me as a friend, so even if you let him go, he won't go."
"Oh?"
"You don't believe it? You've seen his power when he first came to the Valley of the Demons. Although he was kicked out by you, his demon power was damaged, but if he fights to the death, do you really think he can't get away?"
Lin Haoqing was silent.
Ji Yunhe smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Isn't this mermaid stupid?"
"So, what do you want to do for this merman again?"
"I want to lie to him." Ji Yunhe said, "I want to lie to him that because of Princess Shunde's order, I have to take him to the capital, and he will not refuse. I want to take him out of the Valley of the Demons."
Lin Haoqing raised his brows: "You took him out of the Yaoyu Valley, and then wanted to run away? Do you think this way, you won't get involved in the Yaoyu Valley?"
"No. I want you to report to the imperial court, and have the imperial court send someone to pick up the merman, and at the same time appoint me as the chief escort of the merman this time. It takes about a day and a half to go from Yuyao Valley to the capital. I will take the merman with me. One day after leaving the Valley of the Demons, and at night, the merman will be locked in a tent alone, and then I want you to come out of the valley and tell the merman something."
"What's up?"
"I want you to tell him that I, Ji Yunhe, from the moment I met him, everything I did, said and did, was a conspiracy. Whether I was good to him was false, Xu Zhen treated him falsely, what I did Everything is for the sake of transporting him to the capital at this moment. I want you to tell him that even the actions of the Shunde Princess in prison the day before yesterday were nothing but a bitter trick I performed in front of him. I want you, really Seriously, lie to him."
The more Ji Yunhe spoke, the more relaxed his expression became. She seemed very proud, she finally thought of a perfect way to let go of the merman.
"This fish hates others to lie to him the most. When the time comes, you will open the cage and let him go. Then go back to the Valley of the Demons and wait for the Princess Shunde to censure and the court to hold you accountable, then you will confess to me. I will escort the merman to the capital. The person who accompanies me is the person in her court, her anger may bring disaster to Yu Yaogu, but the person who deserves to be damned will only be me."
After Ji Yunhe finished speaking, he raised a smug smile: "How is it?"
Lin Haoqing listened, but his face was even more solemn than before.
"You don't want to die?"
"Lin Haoqing. Have you found the antidote?" Ji Yunhe asked him back.
Lin Haoqing was silent.
"So, my life is only this month." She leaned back in the chair, looking relaxed and even a little lazy. She didn't seem to be saying that she only had one month to live, she seemed to be is talking.
You see, I'm about to be free forever.
That's exactly what she said to Lin Haoqing.
"Instead of wasting time in this Demon Controlling Valley, obstructing your eyes and the eyes of the elders, it's better for me to go outside for a day and be free for a day. At that time, I will be smashed to ashes, and in my life, It's not in vain either."
At that time, Lin Haoqing got what he wanted, and Changyi could return to the sea.
And she...
Finally able to face his fate calmly.
