Taking the confession, I walked towards Qi Fengxuan, because I really wanted to see my righteous daughter Rou Lan. For some reason, I always felt that she had a spirit under the fragrance of the spring, and sent it to my daughter in a hurry. I was busy returning to Qifengxuan, and at a glance I saw His Royal Highness Prince Yong sitting there, teasing Xiaoroulan.

I stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time. I was busy interrogating confessions just now. I didn't know His Highness was here."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I heard that the husband has taken a righteous daughter and came here to visit. How is the situation?"

I smiled and said: "Your Highness, I have discovered the power of the Jinxiu Alliance in Dayong, and I have already interrogated it clearly. Although there have been some changes after a night, it is very easy to get rid of it all at once."

Li Zhi looked at me hesitantly, and I knew very well: "His Royal Highness means, I understand that the Jinxiu Alliance is mainly raging in the middle of Shu and Southern Chu, and Dayong is still a place for them to recuperate. Therefore, Your Highness wishes to keep the Splendid Alliance for the time being."

Li Zhi said with a wry smile: "Sir, it's true, this king has long known about the existence of the Splendid Alliance, but I haven't asked about it for the time being, but they are so arrogant and raging now, if it is spread that Dayong once supported them, I'm afraid Dayong is in the east. The hearts and minds of the people in Sichuan and Shu are all over."

I bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I already have a plan to let go of some of the forces of the Jinxiu Alliance, but we must first eradicate all their forces in Chang'an. This way, even if he wants to involve Dayong in the future, he won't be able to. It's possible."

King Yong said: "That's fine, lest they take the opportunity to make trouble when the situation in Chang'an is chaotic. After all, they and Dayong are also enemies. I have some information in my hand, plus the confession you got, it should be enough. Ordered a siege."

I shook my head and said: "A small Splendid Alliance, what credit does Your Highness have for eradicating it, if Your Highness is at ease, please let the ministers plan, which can not only remove the influence of the Splendid Alliance in Chang'an, but also realize the hearts of the ministers. Policy."

King Yong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Since this king has granted full authority, I will ask Mr. to preside over it. If you need this king's support, even if you say it clearly."

I smiled and thanked me. At this time, King Yong looked at Rou Lan and said, "Mr. is alone, making Ai so young and not having a mother to take care of her is always inappropriate. The princess has been sad for this time and her son will go to Youzhou. Her knees are empty. If Mr. If you don't dislike it, it's better to let the princess take care of Rou Lan, so as not to worry about Mr.

I thought about it for a while and said, "It's just that it's not convenient for the minister to see the little girl."

King Yong said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. If you miss your daughter, let Xiao Shunzi go to the princess to pick her up."

I thought that Xiao Shunzi had no scruples in entering and leaving the inner house, which was a good idea, so he said, "Then I will thank Your Highness, the princess will definitely be able to teach her little girl to be a famous lady, please ask your Highness to thank the princess on behalf of the minister."

King Yong looked at me for a moment and said, "Sir is already twenty-six years old this year, why is he still alone, and he should get married."

King Yong's words caused pain in my heart, and I was silent for a long time before I said: "I already had a fiancee, but she died before the marriage was completed."

King Yong was stunned for a moment, and said, "This king doesn't know, but getting married and having children is a matter of filial piety, and you can't always be so lonely. If you have the will, this king should ask the concubine to find a virtuous woman for him. how about."

I smiled relievedly and said: "The minister's temperament was originally casual, but he didn't let his hair go into the mountains, and he didn't want to let down the good women of others. Please don't bother your Highness."

King Yong shook his head and sighed: "We'll talk about these things later, sir, let's go. I believe that sir will give me a satisfactory result."

I saluted and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, soon His Highness will be able to insert his confidant beside the Prince."

Xia Jinyi felt that he had never been so afraid before. He was frivolous and sometimes too impulsive, so he offended the elders of the division and was kicked out of the door. He wanted to enter through Guanzhonglian, but he offended Miss Jiang again. He had to ask a senior brother for help. His senior brother had a good temperament, but he had a good relationship with him. Now he is the head guard in the Prince's Mansion. Enemy, what do you rely on for a birth? It is a pity that he was blocked by Guan Zhonglian before he could meet his senior brother. In desperation, he had no choice but to escape. Who knew that it was Sima from Prince Yong's Mansion who framed the blame. This originally made him very discouraged, but The senior brother told himself that if His Highness the Crown Prince knew about this, he would definitely keep himself, so that he could smear the face of Prince Yong's mansion. He was overjoyed and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses. When he returned to the inn, he was extremely happy and sad, and was attacked and subdued. Those people who do not know the origin, tied themselves firmly, locked their hands with fine steel, blocked their mouths, and carried them away in a box. After being tied up for so long, Xia Jinyi only felt numb in his limbs, his blood vessels were blocked, and the biggest pain was that he could only bend his body, but he couldn't straighten it, which made him feel extremely painful. If he can straighten his body, he is even willing to pay any price, in other words, his will has collapsed.

Finally, the sound of footsteps could be heard in my ears, someone opened the box, the man held an oil lamp in his hand, and the light fell on Xia Jinyi's face, Xia Jinyi closed his eyes subconsciously, so as not to be hurt by the light due to the long time in the dark. After a while, Xia Jinyi opened his eyes and saw a handsome and handsome young man standing in front of him. He seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. He seemed to be looking at him curiously. Xia Jinyi's eyes showed the meaning of pleading and asking. The young man said lightly: "The villain Chiji, I have been ordered to come to deal with the son Xia, if the son of Xia cannot get the approval of the little man, he will be buried here, if he is lucky enough to pass, he will be able to see my master, son Xia, if you speak up Shouting, the villain has to kill you immediately, so please be careful with your son." After that, the young man put the oil lamp on a table in the room, and went forward to take out the silk scarf from Xia Jinyi's mouth. Xia Jinyi took a deep breath and said, "I beg your brother to let me out first. If you don't stretch out, Xia will be maimed." Seeing the enemy, Xia Jinyi's sanity gradually recovered, and he was ready He started to fight wits with the enemy. Although it was strange that his enemy was a teenager, Xia Jinyi knew very well that the most terrifying things in the arena were monks, women and children, so he didn't have any contempt in his heart.

The young man smiled slightly, lifted Xia Jinyi out of the box, and put him on the ground. In this way, although Xia Jinyi was still tightly bound, he was able to stretch his body. He let out a comfortable moan and closed his eyes. He seemed to want a good night's sleep.

The young man smiled, kicked Xia Jinyi, and said, "Dude, have you forgotten something? Is your life or death still in my hands?"

Xia Jinyi opened his eyes, with a comfortable expression on his face, and said, "Little brother, Xia is only a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes. If you are not useful to me, why bother to tie me up? I think if my brother kills me casually. I, maybe I will be punished?"

The young man suddenly sat on the ground and said to Xia Jinyi, "You're right, but unfortunately my master is arrogant. If it is a waste of dim sum, he will never use it, so you have to convince me to take you to see the master. I'm convinced, it doesn't matter if I kill you, you're not the only candidate anyway."

Xia Jinyi froze in his heart. He saw that although this young man was young, he was very old-fashioned, and he didn't seem to be moved at all when it came to killing, so he tentatively asked: "Young brother is young, but did he kill a lot of people?"

Chi Ji smiled and said: "Don't dare to hide the truth. At the beginning, the boy killed eight or nine people to save his life. Later, he served the master. He killed men, women and children. The most pitiful thing is that we had to kill a lot of innocent people. Among them There are also a few women and children. To be honest, I really didn’t want to kill them at the beginning, but who made them stay where they shouldn’t be, only once, the kid didn’t kill a single person, but they didn’t survive.” Chi Ji said It was vague, but there was no lie. When they were training in the secret camp, they often had to fight each other. If they lost too many times, their memory would be erased and sent away. They later said that these people were dead and lost. For them, the memory of the secret camp is really worse than death. As for working for the Tianji Pavilion, killing people is even more inevitable. Only the last time Liang Wan did, he did not kill, but since there were only Princess Changle and the silly Liang Wan escaped the disaster, and it was not kind.

Xia Jinyi could hear the seriousness in Chi Ji's tone and the lack of bragging at all, and knew that he had really met a little devil who killed people without blinking an eye, and he forced a smile: "So that's the case, then Xia is far inferior to Xiao Xia. Brother, although Xia has the name of a prodigal son in the rivers and lakes, but there are not many murders, after all, the martial arts are not high, killing people is more troublesome, I wonder how my brother will let Xia go?"

Chi Ji thought for a while and said, "This is difficult. Although I don't have money, I don't lack money when I want to spend it. Although my martial arts are not high, it's enough. Everyone loves it, but I'm still young, isn't it too late to fight in ten years?" After speaking, Chi Ji took out a small dagger from his arms, gestured at Xia Jinyi's throat, and laughed. : "Okay, tell me, what can you do for me?"

Xia Jinyi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, little brother, Xia has an idea. Seeing that little brother is fifteen or sixteen years old, the children of big families should get married. Seeing that little brother is extraordinary, even if you are not from everyone, you have to marry someone. All the charming ladies, or else the bright pearl is dark, Xia has no other skills, and when it comes to chasing girls, there is nothing to say. Besides, there is absolutely no one who knows more than me about these outstanding beauties in the north and south of the country. Let Xia give you advice, how about marrying a beautiful lady."

Chi Ji looked at Xia Jinyi for a long time, then burst out laughing, and said: "Seeing that you were chased by Miss Jiang and running for your life, I can't see that you still have such skills, well, let me hear your ideas. "

Xia Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief, he could see that Chiji's murderous aura had dissipated, and he smiled: "Little brother, you can't look down on me, to say that Miss Jiang is good, but you must not marry a wife. I just stole her apron and chased me everywhere."

Chi Ji opened her mouth wide when she heard it, looked at Xia Jinyi and said, "You stole hers, hers."

Xia Jinyi smiled and said, "What's so strange about that, Laozi, no, this young master is just not pleasing to the eye, a little girl who makes all the young men in Guanzhonglian follow her buttocks and pursue it later, Laozi is so romantic and unrestrained, this little girl I am very happy to listen to my nonsense all day long. If you go over the thunder pool a little, she will show a late mother's face, isn't it because she is a disciple of Fengyi Sect, so I simply use Mixiang to make her dizzy, and go there in person Her boudoir stole her bellyband, haha, even if she was asked to hunt down Lao Tzu, she would not dare to explain the reason. Little brother, Lao Tzu tells you that girls from Fengyi Sect cannot be married. They are usually pure and clean, and seduce men by their looks. I don’t believe it, a girl doesn’t have any hints, so many men are chasing after you. Hard to get hold of you is better than anyone else. Lao Tzu’s ability to pursue beautiful women is far worse than their ability to seduce men. The most hateful thing is that if you I really got it. I usually obey you. If you don't obey her, it will be a blink of an eye. I tell you, even marrying an illiterate village girl is better than marrying those Fengyimen. Female disciples are strong."

Chi Ji stared blankly at Xia Jinyi, who was talking arrogantly, and said, "I heard you say it so terribly, you have encountered such a thing."

Xia Jinyi was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he said after a long while, "No, no, I'm just a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes. The female disciple of Fengyi's family is either married to an official family or a martial arts family, how could it have anything to do with me? ."

Chi Ji looked at Xia Jinyi's embarrassed expression and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I have something to do with Fengyi Sect?"

Xia Jinyi's cold sweat flowed down immediately, and he returned to normal in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile, "How can it be possible, although Fengyimen may drive some men, but with this kind of demeanor, my brother should not be a person who is obsessed with beauty." He murmured in his heart, Fengyimen wouldn't put his hand on the half-eldest son, would he

Chi Ji smiled lightly and said, "Since you don't like Fengyimen, why do you want to take refuge with the prince? Who doesn't know that the prince and Fengyimen are on the same boat, and that Prince Yong and Fengyimen are not compatible?"

Xia Jinyi said with a bitter face: "Little brother, as the saying goes, clothes and food are important things in life. You said that I can't farm the fields, and I can't go into battle to kill the enemy. I want to be a bodyguard and protect the courtyard, but I have such a temperament and appearance. If you are a robber and a snitch, if you say something unpleasant, Dayong’s catcher is not easy to deal with, and my martial arts are not very strong. Wang, I'm afraid Xia is not so lucky. If King Yong is someone who has the ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in. The prince will be much more relaxed. Actually, I really wanted to join King Qi. I heard that King Qi likes Fengyue the most. Maybe I can get the appreciation of King Qi, but when I came to Chang'an, I heard that although King Qi likes to walk around the horse, the people around him are warriors who have gone through bloody battles. Like me Humans can't do it."

Chi Ji thought for a while and said, "You are right, people in martial arts like small martial arts when practicing martial arts, and your Kongtong is a martial art dominated by Qimen. If you go to the battlefield, I am afraid that you will not become an ordinary General, besides, not everyone likes the military, you are so cynical, I am afraid that you will be engaged by military law within a few days in the army."

Xia Jinyi agreed: "Yeah, although I don't have any skills, but I know that I still have it. If I can stay in the Prince's Mansion for a few years, it should be better than wandering around the world."

Chi Ji looked at him, finally smiled lightly, and said, "Although I don't think it's any good to let you go, but I really don't want to kill you, okay, I think you can go see my master, remind you, I The master is usually kind and gentle, but once you get serious, you'd better hope for a happy death."

Xia Jinyi suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, little brother, for reminding me that Xia has always been very knowledgeable about current affairs."

At this time, I was in another room and finally couldn't help laughing. I was very happy when I heard Xia Jinyi's words through the copper pipe. At this time, Xiao Shunzi also laughed suddenly, and I asked him: : "Why, you also think he's very interesting."

Xiao Shunzi held back his smile and said, "Young Master, if the servant said something presumptuous, he looks a lot like you. If it wasn't for the master's talent, I think he really looks like you."

I was a little annoyed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help laughing. Thinking about it, I was more interested in Xia Jinyi, and I was more convinced that my plan would be successful.

After a while, Xia Jinyi was escorted in by Chi Ji, Chi Ji untied the restraints on him, so he could walk in by himself, but he was smart and didn't dare to resist, otherwise he would not be able to walk in front of me. After more than ten hours of torture, he is now not only hungry, but his clothes are messy, and his handsome face is also stained with dust. He walked in with difficulty, and Chi Ji gave him a slight push. He looked up and saw the man in Tsing Yi sitting behind the desk and the handsome servant standing behind him, then knelt down obediently, and said in a low voice, "Caomin knocks on Sima. grown ups."

I looked at him from a different angle, although he had seen me from a distance, but still remembering me made me a little surprised, I smiled and said, "Young Master Xia, you are born in Kongtong, you won't do anything wrong. Big mistake, why were you expelled from the division?"

Xia Jinyi looked up at me and asked directly: "Sir, I don't know what the villain can do. If the villain is competent, it will not be too late for the adult to interrogate me. If not, the villain is not willing to treat anyone casually. It's all about the past."

I looked at him seriously again, and said lightly: "I need a chess piece. It is better that this piece has its own thoughts. In other words, what I want is a smart and exquisite piece. You are very suitable."

Xia Jinyi showed a bright smile and said, "So can I not die?"

I also smiled and said, "If you are smart enough, not only do you not have to die, but after the event is complete, I will give you a way out."

The two of us looked at each other and laughed. At this moment, a faint voice floated into my ears. It was Xiao Shunzi's voice saying, "You two are really alike."

I couldn't help but give Xiao Shunzi a blank look. Although voice transmission is very useful, it doesn't need to be used to bully me all the time.
