"Who's outside!" Pei Yi suddenly shouted downstairs.
Immediately afterwards, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
Yao Ban's face slowly appeared in front of them.
His eyes fell on Graceful first.
Seeing Yao Ban coming, Graceful immediately stood up and looked at him affectionately.
Wen Qingzhu stood up calmly and glanced between the two people.
In the end, Yao Ban stopped next to Pei Yi and never took a step closer.
His eyes held an indescribable longing, but his steps never came closer.
Wen Qingzhu felt very strange. When he looked back at Graceful, he found that her eyes were soaked with tears.
"Master Yao..."
The sound of crying and complaining stirred people's hearts and made Yao Ban's whole body tremble.
Wen Qingzhu stared at Yao Ban, feeling slightly wary.
What exactly is going on
Before she could speak, Yao Ban looked sideways at Pei Yi: "Young master is really awesome, he actually found Graceful here."
"Master Yao, thank you for the award. Compared with your achievements, this junior's small talk is nothing." Pei Yi's tone was wary, but not lacking in familiarity.
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath, looked at them and asked, "Are you familiar with them?"
"What? Mr. Pei didn't tell you? I was able to successfully get out of the capital, but it's all thanks to Mr. Pei." Yao Ban raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of provocation in his tone.
Pei Yi was still calm and answered Yao Ban calmly: "I did help you, but Master Yao is more capable than Pei imagined. With or without me, it actually doesn't have much effect."
"That's really unfortunate. For someone like Mrs. Fu, Yao is still not enough. Without Mr. Pei's help, I would never have deceived Mrs. Fu so smoothly."
Yao Ban turned to Wen Qingzhu and said, "There is another thing that Mrs. Fu may need to know. Everything I do is for the sake of gracefulness, but what Mr. Pei does is puzzling."
"What should I say?" After so many things, Wen Qingzhu has become very accustomed to this kind of intrigue.
At least she never thought that Pei Yi was a good person—
People who are nice to her.
Yao Ban's eyes wandered on Pei Yi and Wen Qingzhu for a while, and he said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Mr. Pei took the initiative to find Yao for help, but intercepted the secret letter to Prince Ning halfway, only to let Rui Wang got the secret message, and now he has found Graceful's hiding place with his wife. Madam thinks, what does he want to do?"
Wen Qingzhu looked at Pei Yi with dark eyes.
The two men in front of him are not easy to deal with.
Before, she thought that Yao Ban's purpose was to help Prince Ning ascend the throne, but the sudden appearance of a graceful girl made Wen Qingzhu feel that all her previous guesses might be overturned.
But Yao Ban was right, Pei Yi was enough to scare her now.
After all, for an enemy with a clear goal, she could still find the right direction and slowly figure it out.
But facing an enemy without a target, Wen Qingzhu felt that she could no longer be described as cautious.
After being silent for a long time, Wen Qingzhu suddenly asked: "Pei Yi, can you tell me what you want to do?"
This sentence made Pei Yi unusually silent.
It took him a long time before he replied: "Sorry, no comment."
But then he added: "Madam, please rest assured. As far as the current situation is concerned, before Master Yao died, I, Pei Yi, was definitely on the same page as madam."
"Really? Mrs. Fu, you have spent more time with Mr. Pei than I do. Do you think his words are credible?"
Yao Ban himself is a person like Pei Yi, so he can naturally guess his thoughts.
Faced with Yao Ban's instigation, Pei Yi knew that Wen Qingzhu had doubts, but he believed that Wen Qingzhu was a smart man.
"Mrs. Fu, I know you already know that the affairs of the Cui family and the Yao family, and the affairs of the Yang family are inseparable from him. Now he has targeted you and King Rui, and Pei has also been deceived by him. , I hope Madam has some judgment in her mind."
"Haha!" Yao Ban laughed and looked at Pei Yi sarcastically, "You are really better than your master. Mr. Pei is difficult to deal with. I didn't expect Mr. Pei to be even more difficult to deal with. At least now Mrs. Fu knows my purpose. "
Wen Qingzhu looked at the two people in front of him and knew clearly that they were trying to win over him.
Obviously, there was a secret between them that Wen Qingzhu didn't know about at all.
And this secret may be of great concern, even to Wen Qingzhu himself.
However, Wen Qingzhu never swayed in the face of their provocation and solicitation. She preferred to take the initiative by herself.
So she turned to look at Graceful: "Girl, Master Yao is doing everything for you. I want to ask her what exactly does she want?"
Graceful's expression became sad, she glanced at Wen Qingzhu and shook her head.
Then he turned to Yao Ban and said, "Brother Yao, please stop. My life has reached this point and I can't live any longer."
"Are you sick?" Wen Qingzhu observed Graceful carefully and didn't see anything wrong with her at all.
Before Graceful was about to answer, Yao Ban suddenly took a step forward, his whole body suddenly started to tremble, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
This scene made Graceful's tears fall immediately, and she covered her mouth and backed away immediately.
In an instant, Yao Ban's expression recovered a lot, as if some heavy pressure had been lifted.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the two of them carefully, and suddenly walked quickly to Graceful's side.
Just as he was about to grab her hand, Uncle Qiu, who had left before, suddenly appeared, holding a bamboo flute in his hand and hitting the back of Wen Qingzhu's hand hard.
"No!" Graceful screamed and backed away.
But Wen Qingzhu wanted to stop, but he couldn't avoid it at all.
A feeling of disappointment swept over from all directions. In this short moment, she didn't have much time to react.
At this critical moment, someone suddenly rushed down from the tree next to the terrace.
I saw a black shadow flash in front of my eyes, the bamboo flute landed on the back of Wen Qingzhu's hand, and I saw that Uncle Qiu had been violently knocked out.
The two figures rolled on the ground. Uncle Qiu looked embarrassed and dodged frequently.
The fight downstairs attracted the attention of those on stage.
Soon everyone saw the dark figure clearly. He was squatting on the ground, like a monkey, but also like a wild wolf, constantly pouncing at Uncle Qiu, as if he was hunting for his own dinner.
"Who is he?" Pei Yi was shocked.
But Yao Ban recognized this person and immediately narrowed his eyes to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Madam is really good at subduing him!"
Listening to his tone, Wen Qingzhu felt that Yao Ban was very jealous.
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways: "What? Master Yao tried to subdue him before?"
Pei Yi looked at their expressions, his mind turned rapidly, and he immediately guessed where Beidou came from.
But just as he was about to speak, he felt someone approaching quickly.
And he's an acquaintance.
Pei Yi thought that he almost fell into the hands of that person, glanced at Wen Qingzhu, tiptoed without hesitation, and disappeared into the night sky.
The whole courtyard echoed Pei Yi's last words: "Madam, we will meet again later!"
As soon as the lingering sound left, Uncle Qiu, who was fighting with Beidou on the ground, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
somebody is coming!
He immediately rolled on the spot, completely avoiding Beidou's pursuit, and shouted towards Yao Ban: "Sir, take the girl away quickly! There are people I can't deal with!"
Yao Ban's heart skipped a beat, and when he was about to turn around, a hand suddenly fell on his shoulder and said quietly: "Master Yao, I finally found you."
Wen Qingzhu immediately opened his eyes, a little incredulous: "Why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Fu Lie. He still smelled of grass and looked like he had just arrived.
"I followed Pei Yi here." Fu Lie replied.
Before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Wen Qingzhu, drawing his sword and looking at Wen Qingzhu's shoulder.
In an instant, the sharp sound of weapons clashing almost pierced Wen Qingzhu's eardrums.
Fu Lie's figure flashed again and appeared behind Wen Qingzhu, blocking the assassination coming from the right.
But at the same time, there was a black figure on the left hand side grabbing Graceful and trying to retreat.
"Wait!" Wen Qingzhu shouted.
Fu Lie stretched out his left hand without hesitation, grabbed Graceful's hand, and stopped her from being taken away.
This scene shocked Yao Ban and Uncle Qiu downstairs to freeze.
In addition, the black shadow over there also paused, and the black energy around him dissipated, revealing a vague figure.
Fu Lie grabbed her gracefully and stared straight at Fu Lie's hand, with tears falling from her eyes.
Wen Qingzhu glanced around and found that everyone was staring at Fu Lie and Graceful's hands.
She asked Gracefully strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Hearing her voice, Graceful slowly raised her head and said with a choked sob: "He, he is fine, he... he is not affected by me at all..."
Wen Qingzhu placed his eyes on Fu Lie's hand again.
Fu Lie immediately let go and took two steps back to protect Wen Qingzhu.
Uncle Qiu who was downstairs suddenly turned to look at Yao Ban and shouted excitedly: "Sir! He is not affected by the girl at all. Is he the bell-unlocker that Master Moro mentioned?"
Yao Ban trembled all over and tried to take a step this way.
But unfortunately, as soon as he lifted his feet and tilted his body slightly, he found that the blood all over his body was boiling uncontrollably.
That feeling still didn't disappear. Yao Ban could only take a step back, and then he could barely calm down.
There was hope in his eyes immediately: "Master Hou! You are the graceful bell-breaker! The graceful girl can be saved! The graceful girl can be saved!"
Yao Ban became more and more excited as he talked and almost took another step forward.
Wen Qingzhu was confused after hearing this. When he looked at Graceful again, he found a dark-brown-skinned woman standing on the other side of her. Her bright eyes were shining with dazzling light, looking straight at Fu Lie.
When looking downstairs, Uncle Qiu had even knelt down.
Wen Qingzhu was puzzled and decided to ask Yao Ban carefully.
But before she could speak, Graceful came over excitedly and reached out to hold Fu Lie's hand.
But Fu Lie had already noticed it, so he naturally avoided it without hesitation, and said: "Girl, please respect yourself."
Graceful was slightly startled and saw Fu Lie's hand on Wen Qingzhu's shoulder.
Somewhat puzzled, he asked: "Are you this girl's husband?"
"Yes." Fu Lie responded and turned to look at Wen Qingzhu, "Did Pei Yi bring you here?"
"Yes, he seems to have some kind of deal with Yao Ban." Wen Qingzhu nodded.
Finally, Yao Ban intervened: "Master Hou, as long as you promise me something, I can immediately turn around and help Prince Rui. I am even willing to die to repay the blood debt of your Yang family!"
Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie both looked towards him and found that there was pure sincerity in Yao Ban's eyes!
Is this person really the Yao Ban they know
