    In the early morning of the first day of September, Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi got up to wash up and change clothes.  Ye Shuhua wore a black Yanfu embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns and a green and white jade belt around his waist. On the jade belt hung a white jade dragon pendant representing his identity and a small gold knife inlaid with gems. He tied his hair with a gold crown and wore powder-soled boots. He was elegant.  There is nobility in it.  Song Ruoxi wears a luxurious crown with nine emeralds and four phoenixes on her head, and a bright red harp with gold trim. She is full of jewels. She is stunningly beautiful, and she is so gorgeous in her attire.  The two of them had packed up, and it was already bright. The sun, which had not been seen for a few days, emitted thousands of rays of light through the thick clouds, driving away the gloom of the past few days.  Song Ruoxi thought this was a good sign. She stood by the window, facing the sun in the sky, smiling like flowers blooming in spring, charming and moving.  Ye Shuhua walked over, stood side by side with her, and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at?" Song Ruoxi looked at him sideways, and asked with a smile on her face: "Brother, when you Mu Xiu, take me to the mountain to see  Sunrise, okay?" Ye Shuhua glanced at the sun in the sky, looked down at her clear eyes, and smiled softly: "Danxia Peak outside the city is a good place to watch the sunrise. It's our first day out of the city.  , stay in a separate courtyard in the mountains, and you can go up the mountain to watch the sunrise the next day." Song Ruoxi was about to speak, when Ouyang's voice sounded outside the door, "Young Master, Young Madam." "Come in!"  Ruoxi Road.  Ouyang and others all put on brand new clothes, walked in with smiles on their faces, and said in unison: "My slaves wish the young city master long life, good health and good luck." "If you say well, you will be rewarded." Song Ruoxi smiled happily.  Take out the prepared red envelopes and reward them one by one.  "Thank you, young city lord, thank you, young lady." Everyone saluted and thanked.  Canniang made two bowls of longevity noodles and brought them in. She said with a smile: "Young City Lord, young lady, after eating longevity noodles, you will be blessed and longevity." A bowl of longevity noodles is just one stick. If you eat it from beginning to end, you will live for a hundred years.  .  After eating the noodles, the two went out to Fengxian Hall in Zhongyuan.  Li Jicai had already led others to set up a table and incense candles in front of the hall. When he saw the two people coming, he came over with a smile to say hello, and said: "I wish you, the young lady, the city lord, may the flowers fly together under the full moon, and the husband and wife will be together forever."  Wow, is this a birthday message?  "Master Li made a mistake. Today is the young city lord's birthday, not the young city lord and his wife's wedding." The boy beside him quickly reminded him.  Li Jicai turned back to glare at him and said, "It's a big happy event, so just say auspicious words." "If you say auspicious words well, you will be rewarded." Song Ruoxi smiled and motioned to Xiangxiu to give a red envelope.  Li Jicai and others thanked them.  Ye Shuhua stood in front of the desk, respectfully offered incense and offered libations, and prayed to the gods of heaven and earth that the legitimate son of the Ye family had grown up safely. He was grateful to the gods of heaven and earth for their blessings.  Song Ruoxi learned from others.  After burning the paper, the two entered the ancestral hall and paid homage to their ancestors.  After the ceremony, they came out and went to Danning Residence to kowtow to Ye Fan and Zhaoping County Lord.  Ye Shuhua’s birthday banquet was a dinner. After sitting for a while, Ye Fan and Ye Shuhua went to the Zhongyong Hall. Although today was Ye Shuhua’s birthday, it was not a holiday, so city affairs were still handled.  Song Ruoxi chatted with the Lord Zhaoping for a few words, went to Qiu Shuang Hall, gave some instructions to the stewards, and then returned to Shuyuyuan.  This formal makeup is quite heavy. I have to take it off quickly and have a good rest. There are still a lot of people to deal with in the evening.  Four strong women carried the chariot to the East Garden. Halfway there, a group of patrolmen came towards them. Seeing the chariot, they stepped aside to give way.  Song Ruoxi's eyes swept over them condescendingly, and she didn't notice that there was a person she knew well in the group of people who was watching her silently.  Back in the courtyard, Song Ruoxi was about to take off her hairpin.  Xiangxiu stepped forward and persuaded: "Young madam, the eldest young master and the others will come into the courtyard to pay homage to the young city lord." "They will only come in the afternoon, and they won't come now. I'll just relax for a while." Song Ruoxi sat down.  In front of the dressing table, "Besides, I'm not going to wear this formal makeup at the dinner, so why bother wearing it until dusk when I change it? I'll be in trouble." Everyone laughed and obeyed her wishes.  Song Ruoxi lay relaxed on the couch reading a storybook. Ye Shuhua, who was discussing politics in Zhongyong Hall, learned a shocking news.  "City Lord, He Guo Dongbihou has come to congratulate the young City Lord on his birthday. Now he has arrived outside the city gate." The chief guard guarding the city gate came in with his credentials and reported.  "What?" Ye Fan was stunned, then became angry and started to shout, "Damn it, the man has already arrived outside the city gate, and you came to report him! If he led troops to attack, wouldn't we have to capture him without mercy?" All the officials knelt down.  He went down and said: "It's a humble duty and an oversight."  "Father, Dong Bihou came from the Kingdom of He. It was a long journey, but he never alerted the officials along the way. It can be seen that he came in secret and did it intentionally. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on the oversight of the adults." Ye Shuhua said in a deep voice.  road.  Ye Xiaojing’s eyes flickered, his expression remained motionless, and he moved his feet to touch Ye Xiaogong’s feet.  Ye Xiaogong glanced at him, thinking of the two charming beauties and the valuable antiques given by Chen Mo, he stepped forward and said: "Father, this Dongbihou is the uncle of Emperor He, and he has a distinguished status.  , if you turn him away and neglect him, it may cause the dissatisfaction of the He Kingdom." Ye Fan's eyes flashed coldly, and he sneered: "An uninvited guest is also a guest. Since you went to the He Kingdom last time, it's up to you this time.  Go and receive him." "Yes, father." Ye Xiaogong accepted the order and left.  "You all get up, let's continue the discussion." Ye Fan sat back on the throne with a gloomy face, and the matter was over for the time being.  After the discussion, Ye Shuhua did not go back to Shuyuyuan, but went to Tingzhuxuan in Nanyuan.  In the green bamboo forest, dense phoenix tails, and winding paths, from a distance you can see someone wearing a purple brocade robe with a jade belt tied around his waist. His black hair is tied loosely with a white magnolia flower hairpin, with a slight smile on his face.  Shangguan Mo Xun was sitting on the soft couch in the corridor, holding a wine glass in his left hand, with the rim of the glass pressed to his lips. He tilted his head slightly, and the wine went into his throat. He picked up the pot on the table and filled the glass.  Wine is lazy and casual, leisurely and contented.  "Chen Mo is here. He hid his whereabouts all the way and only revealed his identity outside the city." Ye Shuhua lifted up his robe and sat on the railing. "He said he came to celebrate my birthday. He will definitely attend the dinner tonight."  Shangguan Moxun drank all the wine in the cup, curled his lips and sneered: "Winning or losing depends on one move. With his personality, he will definitely come in person and control everything."  Wherever he goes, this time, I will keep him." Ye Shuhua made a murderous move towards the lingering Chen Mo.  A strange color flashed through Shangguan Mo Xun's deep eyes, and even the compassionate people had murderous intentions. Chen Mo really deserved to die, but he said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to keep him this time. He shines brightly."  "He came here uninvited, and our city's guards were in a hurry. Moreover, the sword has no eyes, and the accident happened. We deeply regret this."  "Ye Shuhua has already thought about it this way.  "Your birthday." Shangguan Mo Xun chuckled and raised his eyebrows, "Don't you think it's too unlucky for him to die?" Ye Shuhua smiled calmly and said: "The cycle of life and death is a normal thing. Someone is born every day in the world.  , someone dies every day, why is it bad luck?" Shangguan Mo Xun filled the glass with wine, threw the wine bottle to Ye Shuhua, raised the glass, "I wish him an early reincarnation." Ye Shuhua smiled and looked up.  He turned his head to the spout and took a big sip, "Good wine!" "Peach blossoms are brewed in Peach Blossom Temple. If you don't get drunk with good wine, you will get drunk." Shangguan Mo Xun drank all the wine, got up and walked into the room, "I want to go to bed.  Get some sleep and be refreshed. Don’t miss important events tonight. I’ll give you that pot of wine. Drink it so you can sleep well.” Ye Shuhua looked at the black-glazed plum blossom pot in his hand and said with a loud smile, “Thank you.  "The people in the house stopped responding, and the door closed with a creak.  Ye Shuhua picked up the pot, stood up and left, returned to Shuyuyuan, and said as he entered, "Yingying, I brought back a pot of good wine." Song Ruoxi sat up on the couch and asked with a smile, "What is it?"  "Good wine?" "Peach blossom wine from Taohua Temple." Ye Shuhua handed the pot to her.  Song Ruoxi took the pot and opened the lid, "Why is it only half a pot? Did you drink it secretly?" "A drop of good wine will make you happy, but a pool of bad wine will not drink it." Ye Shuhua said with a smile.  “Where did you hear this ‘wise saying’?” Song Ruoxi joked with a smile.  "This is what a good drinker says." Song Ruoxi put the wine table on the high table aside, "Today at noon, I will have a few drinks with our young city lord." The meal was passed in, and the couple were there  Sitting across from each other at the table.  Song Ruoxi filled the pot with two glasses of wine, picked up the glass in front of her, her eyes moved, and she said with a full smile: "Drink a glass for me, and I will make three wishes to you, and I wish that your husband will live a thousand years." Ye Shuhua raised his glass.  He touched it with her, drank the wine in the glass, and asked with a smile: "What is your second wish?" Song Ruoxi drank the wine and filled it up again, "My second wish is that I will always be in good health." Ye Shuhua nodded with a smile.  Then he asked: "The third wish?" "The three wishes are like the swallows on Liang Shang, meeting each other year after year." Ye Shuhua smiled, "These three wishes are all good, I also have three wishes." "Tell me, you  Which three wishes are they?” “Drink a drink for me and make three wishes to you. One wish is that my wife will live a thousand years.”??.  "Song Ruoxi smiled and curled her lips. "As long as the wish is good, it will come true.  "Ye Shuhua smiled, raised his glass, and said, "Young Madam, please have a drink.  " "You said your second wish and your third wish, and I drank them together.  " "The two wishes are long-lasting, but this one is different from yours.  " Song Ruoxi chuckled softly, "Where's the third wish?  " "Three wishes, in heaven and on earth, to stay with each other forever.  " "Whether you have these three wishes, let's drink this cup together!  "Song Ruoxi smiled and raised her eyebrows. While the two were talking, they finished the half bottle of wine and ate the food. Xiangduo brought the digestion tea and left. Ye Shuhua took a sip of the tea and said, "Chen Mo is here.  !  " Song Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he heard wrongly, and asked: "Who?  Who did you say is coming?  " "Chen Mo is here. In the morning, he came to the city gate and revealed his identity, and we knew he was here.  " "Have you seen him?  "No, my father asked the fourth brother to go see him."  " Song Ruoxi frowned, with a worried look on his face, "He's here, and things will be even more difficult tonight.  " "He's here, it's better, he can solve the problem in one go.  " "I wonder who the person who colluded with him might be?  " "No need to try hard to guess, he will show his true colors tonight.  "Ye Shuhua said coldly. ""Song Ruoxi nodded, put down the cup, and said: "There is a tough battle to be fought tonight. Let's take a nap to recuperate. We can't miss important events tonight.  " Ye Shuhua heard this sound familiar. He thought for a moment, smiled softly, took Song Ruoxi's hand, and walked to the bedroom. After going to bed and taking a nap, the two of them got up to freshen up and change clothes. Song Ruoxi had just put the rosary beads on  Wearing it on her wrist, the voice of the maid greeting Ye Shuting came from outside the door. Ye Shuting's birthday gift was the table screen with five sons and Maitreya embroidered by her own hands. She smiled modestly and said: "It's not good, please don't do it."  dislike.  " "My sister's kindness is rare, how can my elder brother dislike it?  "Ye Shuhua smiled, took the table screen, placed it on the coffee table, replacing the white jade screen that was placed previously. Ye Shuting saw this and smiled happily. "Sister Ting, please sit down.  "Ye Shuhua greeted her politely. Then several side ladies sent people over to celebrate Ye Shuhua's birthday, and they all gave gifts. Then Ye Xiaoan and others also entered the city, and cousins ??also brought their wives.  The son came over, and for a while, the main hall of Dongyuan was full of people. Mrs. Yue gave the gift to Song Ruoxi, held her hand and said, "I heard from mother that today's dinner was all taken care of by Yuxian.  It must be done properly!  " "I have tried my best, and I hope it will be done properly. If there is anything I didn't do well, please forgive me, sister-in-law.  "Song Ruoxi smiled politely. "There won't be anything bad. It will definitely go smoothly and peacefully.  " Mrs. Yue said eagerly. "Sister-in-law Cheng's good words.  "Song Ruoxi only thought she was saying good things and didn't hear what she said. There were too many people, so we didn't sit down for a long time. After chatting for a while, they all left and went to Qiu Shuang Hall to wait for the dinner to start.  Everyone who came to celebrate his birthday was sent away. Song Ruoxi's mouth was dry, so he picked up the tea cup and poured a few sips into his mouth to quench his thirst. At the beginning of Youshi, the two went to the Qiu Shuang Hall in Zhongyuan, at dusk.  In the vast sky, the evening breeze blew slowly, carrying the chill of early winter. The Qiu Shuang Hall was already brightly lit. Ye Fan and Zhaoping County Lord had already arrived first. Ye Shuhua was worried that he would not be able to take care of Song Ruoxi if the male and female seats were divided.  Today is a two-seat banquet. Men and women are in the same hall. Chen Mo, who is wearing a royal blue brocade robe, is sitting at the guest seat. There are two beautiful women sitting on his left and right, one in red and one in blue.  Chen Mo also saw Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi walking in side by side. Ye Shuhua was wearing a sky-blue embroidered uniform and a belt embroidered with longevity patterns. Song Ruoxi was wearing the same color as him.  She wears a fur coat with a stand-up collar and a long skirt that touches the floor. Her long hair is pulled into a concentric bun. A lying phoenix is ??inserted diagonally in her hair. The long tassels sway gently as she moves. Under the candlelight, stars are reflected.  In the silver light, there are three jade plum blossoms on the left and right sides, elegant and elegant, like fairies descending into the world. Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi first stepped forward to pay homage to Ye Fan and Zhaoping County Lord, and then walked to Chen Mo.  Shuhua cupped his hands and said, "Dongbihou has come all the way to wish me a birthday. Thank you very much for this great gift. I will have to drink a few more glasses of wine in a while."  " Chen Mo stood up, stared at Song Ruoxi who was drooping and silent, and said with a smile: "I will never drink less wine.  " "Drinking in Dongbihou is drinking, but don't get drunk. If you mistake a foreign country for your hometown, you will be in trouble.  "Ye Shuhua took a step forward and stopped him from looking at Song Ruoxi's revealing eyes.Light.  "The wine from a foreign country makes people intoxicated. I want to return to my hometown with the wine." Chen Mo used wine as a metaphor for people, squinting his eyes slightly, and there was a faint flash of light.  Ye Shuhua was about to speak when Ye Xiaogong came over and said, "Master Hou and my eldest brother are old acquaintances." "I and the Young Master once lived next to each other in Jinglian Temple." Chen Mo said with a smile.  "Not only that, according to senior brother Jingxuan, Dongbihou is the young grandnephew of the young city lord." Song Ruoxi said this out of the blue.  Chen Mo's expression stiffened for a moment, "Miss Song is still as fond of telling jokes as before." Song Ruoxi is married, but he calls her Miss Song. He really treats Ye Shu as nothing and is extremely rude.  .  Ye Xiaogong was the most greedy when it came to women. As soon as he heard this, he felt the taste. He touched his chin and showed an unknown smile on his face.  A flash of anger flashed in Ye Shuhua's eyes, and just as he was about to speak, Song Ruoxi spoke first, "This is a fact, why are you joking? Is it possible that Dongbihou was so rich that he didn't even recognize his aunt?"  Song Ruoxi asked with raised eyebrows.  "Miss Song is very articulate and intelligent. She should know that things in Buddhism have nothing to do with the secular world." Chen Mo said with a smile.  Song Ruoxi said: "Buddha is in the secular world, and his compassion is to save all living beings. My husband and I follow the example of our ancestors, running around in the secular world, with the common people in mind. I hope that the compassion of the Buddha will allow Dongbihou to reach bliss early, without having to spend time here.  Suffering comes from reincarnation in this world." Ye Xiaogong was stunned. How can anyone help others reach bliss early?  Isn't this a curse for people to die early?  It can also be seen from this that they are indeed old acquaintances, but they are old acquaintances with hatred.  Chen Mo did not feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "I will definitely live up to Miss Song's kindness. I am willing to go to the paradise world with Miss Song." "Buddha does not save people who have no destiny." Ye Shuhua's face darkened, "Fourth brother  "Please give me a good greeting to Dongbihou. Don't neglect Dongbihou." After saying that, Ye Shuhua took Song Ruoxi's hand and turned to leave.  "He's just a bastard, you don't have to be angry with him." Song Ruoxi advised softly.  "I hate the way he looks at you." Ye Shuhua looked depressed.  Shangguan Mo Xun is a gentleman who only cares about emotions and respects etiquette, and will not do anything that goes beyond his limits, but Chen Mo is a complete villain who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.  "If he wants to see it, let him see it. He can't see me away." Song Ruoxi smiled, "Today is your birthday. Be happy. Don't let him affect your mood. Just smile." Ye Shuhua smiled obediently.  , took her to greet some uncles.  After seeing the ceremony, the two of them went to their seats and sat down.  Li Jicai whispered something in Ye Fan's ear, and Ye Fan nodded and said loudly: "Today is Xiao'er Shuhua's birthday. Thank you all for attending his birthday banquet, especially Dongbihou who came all the way.  It is a great honor for me to wish my son a birthday." Chen Mo smiled and said, "You are so polite, Lord Ye. It is my honor to come to wish you a happy birthday." The two exchanged polite words.  After toasting the banquet wine, the maids carrying food boxes filed in. The banquet was opened with tortoise shells and hibiscus mattresses.  The melodious sound of silk and bamboo played the melody of joy, and the dancers in the song and dance studio danced in the hall with the music, enchanting and colorful.  Song Ruoxi had been paying attention to Chen Mo's actions and found that he and Ye Xiaogong were very affectionate and chatting happily, "Senior brother, could it be the two of them?" Ye Shuhua turned sideways to Xiao Shunzi and ordered:  "Go and ask the maids who are serving them, what are they talking about?" Xiao Shunzi followed the order and came back a moment later. He leaned into Ye Shuhua's ear and said, "They were talking about women, and what else was there in the building?"  An acquaintance girl also said that she could have some fun someday." Ye Shuhua frowned in disgust.  The music was so loud that Song Ruoxi didn't hear Xiao Shunzi's words clearly and pulled down Ye Shuhua's sleeve, "What are they talking about?" "Nothing, just gossip." Ye Shuhua didn't want such words.  Song Ruoxi's ears were dirty.  Song Ruoxi glanced at him in disbelief, but did not pursue the question. A smart woman should not get to the bottom of trivial matters.  After presenting the scarf for the second time, the maids began to serve the third hot dish of four dishes: braised duck loin, boiled shrimp, fried rabbit breast and steamed anchovy in marinade, and two soups: shark fin crab soup and golden yam soup.  , two kinds of dim sum: Shouzi oil cake and Baishou peach.  Ye Shuhua stood up according to the etiquette and went to toast the elder to express respect and gratitude.  There was singing and dancing in the hall, chatting and laughing at the banquet, and there was no movement at all among the people drinking and drinking.  Song Ruoxi was puzzled. The banquet was already half over, why didn't you do it?  Do we have to wait until it's almost over before taking action?  Or was it just a false alarm?  Or did those people know that the news was leaked, changed their plans, and were no longer planning to take action?  Just when Song Ruoxi was secretly speculating, something unexpected happened instantly, and a strange wind blew through.Thousands of bright lights in the hall were all extinguished, and the sudden change caused the women who were kept in the boudoir to scream in unison.  At the moment from light to darkness, you couldn't see anything in front of you. When you got used to the darkness, you could faintly see dozens of men in black jumping out of nowhere!  Song Ruoxi stood up and wanted to leave where she was sitting. Since those people had taken action, they must have been paying attention to where she was. She couldn't sit still and wait for death. As soon as she stood up, she heard a muffled groan from someone next to her.  , was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Canniang." "Young madam, leave quickly." Canniang has already handed over to someone.  As soon as Song Ruoxi took a step, she felt someone grab her arm. The palm was too big to look like the hands of Xiangxiu and others. She was frightened and struggling. The man pulled hard and she crashed into his arm.  In his arms, he struggled to reach out his hand to grab the man.  "Girl." A friendly call.  "Mo Xun?" Song Ruoxi's hand stopped in mid-air, and her tone was full of questions. She suspected that she had heard wrongly. How could Shangguan Mo Xun appear here at this time?  "It's me." There was a hint of smile in Shangguan Moxun's voice. He waved away the fist with his right hand and took her a step back. "Are you injured?" "No." Song Ruoxi was protected in his arms.  , the distance was very close, you could smell the faint fragrance of peach blossom wine on his body, and your heart moved, was the peach blossom wine you drank at noon given to Ye Shuhua by him?  "Don't be afraid." "Yeah." Song Ruoxi was really curious about his appearance, but it was not convenient to ask more at this moment.  The sound of swords clashing, screams, the sound of tables falling to the ground, the sound of cups and saucers falling to the ground, the sound of footsteps running back and forth, all kinds of sounds come and go.  In the dark, when vision is blocked and it is difficult to see clearly what is going on, hearing and smell will appear particularly sensitive. However, hearing and smell are not intuitive enough and can make people think.  Every time Song Ruoxi heard a scream, he felt that it was coming from Ye Shuhua. The smell of blood in the air became stronger, indicating that many people were injured or even died. The gorgeous and wealthy Qiu Shuang Hall had become a cold place.  The killing battlefield.  Because we had taken precautions, the killing in the hall actually did not last long. However, when people are in a certain environment, they will feel that their days are like years. Even if it is only a few minutes, it will feel very long and unbearable.  Bright torches and lanterns illuminated the hall.  At the moment when the light came, Shangguan Moxun let go of his hand around Song Ruoxi's waist, quickly stepped back two steps to the left, and hid his figure behind the tall carved beech wood lamp holder, keeping a suitable position with her.  distance.  Song Ruoxi didn't notice. She was anxiously looking for Ye Shuhua's figure. Everyone in the hall was not where they were. A dozen injured men in black were surrounded by guards. The ground was in a mess.  Soon, she found him in the crowded hall. He was standing next to a carved stone pillar holding a blood-stained sword.  Seeing that the situation was under control, Ye Fan walked up the jade steps surrounded by guards and was about to speak. There was a loud "bang", a puff of black smoke filled the air, and many people screamed again.  Song Ruoxi never expected that there would be a second change.  Shangguan Moxun stepped forward and hugged her, tiptoed lightly, took a few steps back, put her on the ground, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two pills, and gave one to her.  He took one into his mouth and said, "Take it!" Song Ruoxi swallowed the pill and looked up to see that the hall was enveloped in black smoke.  "Sit down." Shangguan Moxun sat on the ground and leaned back against the stone pillar.  Song Ruoxi sat next to him obediently, leaning her head on the lampstand.  The black smoke gradually dissipated, and there was no one standing in the hall. They all fell to the ground. What surprised Song Ruoxi was that even Chen Mo fell there. How could this happen?  Could it be that the mantis stalks the cicada, with the oriole behind?  "Okay, let's do it!" An old voice sounded.  Song Ruoxi saw four people getting up from the ground, Chen Mo, Ye Xiaojing, an old man and a man wearing a guard uniform.  Ye Fan, who was lying on the jade platform with blue veins on his forehead, asked sternly: "Treason, what are you going to do?" "Father, don't be angry. You forced me to do this. This city lord should be the one who can do it."  "Ye Xiaojing picked up a long sword on the ground, "Ye Shuhua is better than me except for being a direct descendant? He doesn't even have any heirs, and no one can succeed him.  Unfilial, how can such a person be the city lord?" Ye Fan glared and said coldly: "The position of city lord is not passed on to the descendants, but your reputation is unjust. I am afraid that I will not be able to hold the position of city lord."  As long as Ye Shuhua is killed, my father will have no legitimate son, and the position of city lord will have no legitimate son to pass on. It will be natural for me to be the city lord."Ye Xiaojing said as he walked towards Ye Shuhua. "Third Young Master, wait a moment.  " Chen Mo said. Ye Xiaojing stopped and looked back at him. Chen Mo smiled and said: "You killed Ye Shuhua in front of your father and so many people. Afterwards, do you think the Lord of Ye City will be obedient and kill the Lord?  Will the position be passed on to you?  Will they obey and help you?  The mistakes your eldest brother made are minor mistakes compared to yours, not to mention that your fourth and fifth brothers are still here. The Lord of Ye City can choose one of them.  " "Kill all three of them, and my father will only have one son. If you don't pass it on to me, who else can you pass it on to?"  Ye Xiaojing said coldly. Ye Fan was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He turned and cursed at Mrs. Bian: "Ms. Bian, this is the good son you gave birth to. In order to seize the position of city lord, he killed his brother and his brother."  " Mrs. Bian, who was slumped in the chair, stood up and said with a smile on her face: "Of course the son I gave birth to is a good son.  "    "you!  "Ye Fan's eyes widened in astonishment. He couldn't believe that Mrs. Bian, who had been keeping her peace for many years, had good moral character, and had a gentle temperament, was also involved in this matter. Mrs. Bian walked up to the jade platform, her face with exquisite makeup twisted ferociously.  , with a fierce look in his eyes: "Jing'er, go kill them all, and let their blood pave the beautiful road for you to step onto the throne of the city lord.  " "Yes, mother.  "Ye Xiaojing responded loudly. "Sister Bian, Gong'er will not compete with the Third Young Master for the position of city lord. Please don't hurt him.  "Mrs. Shao was eager to protect her son and shouted loudly. "Don't you think it's too late to beg for mercy now?  "Mrs. Bian curled her lips and sneered. Mrs. Shao's face turned pale. When she was favored in the past, she had severely offended the "docile" Mrs. Bian. She rolled down from the chair, lay on the ground and begged: "Sister Bian, it used to be me.  "It's my fault, sir. You have a lot of faults. Don't argue with me. I will" "There will be no future."  "Mrs. Bian interrupted her coldly, "Jing'er, don't do anything yet.  " Ye Xiaojing walked up to Ye Shuhua with his sword in hand. Looking at Ye Shuhua who had no fear on his face, his eyes flashed slightly. He raised his sword and said, "Ye Shuhua, I hope that next time you are reincarnated, you can keep your eyes open and see accurately.  people.  "No!" Zhaoping County Lord exclaimed.  Bang.  The sword in Ye Xiaojing's hand fell to the ground, and another bloody sword was pressed against his neck. Ye Shuhua, who must have been drugged and was limp and unable to move, stood up, his face as sinking as water, and his eyes looked complicated  he.  "How could youyou shouldn't be able to stand up?" Ye Xiaojing frowned.  Some more people stood up in the hall one after another, including Zi Shizi and Wen Ziwu whom Song Ruoxi knew. Of course, most of them collapsed on the ground. They surrounded the old man and the guard.  Shangguan Mo Xun also stood up and walked out from behind the stone pillar, "Dongbihou, I haven't seen you for many days. How are you?" Chen Mo squinted his eyes and raised the corner of his lips, "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be  Mr. Luo Qi, a famous painter in Fujian, "" In order to seize the throne, Dong Bihou used even the most dirty tricks such as smoke and poison, so he didn't feel too embarrassed. "Shangguan Mo Xun.  He sneered mockingly.  Chen Mo chuckled and said, "As long as the result is as expected, there is no need to worry too much about the process." "That's good." Shangguan Mo Xun's face turned cold, "If Ye Shuhua doesn't take action now, when will we wait?"  As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Mo Xun and Ye Shuhua attacked Chen Mo at the same time.  At the same time, Zi Shi and others also took action to arrest people.  There was a flash of swords and swords in the hall. Canniang got up from the ground and walked to Song Ruoxi's side, "Young Madam, are you injured?" "I'm fine, you" Song Ruoxi saw that Canniang had something on her sleeves.  Blood, "You are injured. Is it serious? Let me see." "Young Madam, I'm fine. This is other people's blood, not mine." Canniang pulled up her sleeves to show her.  There are no wounds.  Song Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and returned his eyes to the hall. Ye Xiaojing, the old man and the guard were not very strong in martial arts. With the joint efforts of Zi Shi and others, they were quickly captured.  Chen Mo is obviously no match for Ye Shuhua and Shangguan Moxun.  Ye Shuhua's long sword pierced his abdomen, and Shangguan Mo Xun's short sword was also pressed against his neck.  At this time, I saw black blood flowing out of the corner of Chen Mo's mouth. He actually bit the poison sac hidden in his mouth, tilted his head, and lost his breath.  Shangguan Mo Xun and Ye Shuhua were startled, not expecting Chen Mo to die like this.  "Chen Mo's martial arts is not that low." Shangguan Moxun immediately realized that something was wrong. He looked at the man on the ground carefully, took a bottle of wine next to him, and casually grabbed the silk handkerchief that the girl had dropped on the ground.  I dipped in some wine and wiped the man's face vigorously.The side of his face changed. He dropped the silk handkerchief and slowly tore it upward from the man's neck.  A woman in the hall screamed in surprise. Shangguan Moxun lifted off the human skin mask, revealing the true appearance of the man on the ground. He looked completely different from before.  "Nizi, what's going on?" Ye Fan had already sat up straight, pretending to be fascinated.  "What's going on?" Ye Xiaojing's expression seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time. He thought that he would succeed in one fell swoop tonight and he could successfully ascend to the throne of the city lord. However, he didn't expect that his father and younger brother had taken precautions and he failed completely. Now he found out that after joining forces,  People are not people who join forces, and everything is out of his control. He just played a ridiculous and funny show, got nothing, and even lost his own life." I also want to know what happened.  "What happened?" Song Ruoxi suddenly realized that the two women who were accompanying Chen Mo just now were not in the hall, and said, "The two women are gone." As soon as he finished speaking, a "dong dong" bell sounded outside.  Ye Fan's face changed drastically, "No, someone broke into Wenlan Pavilion." "Zi Shi, take a fancy to the three of them, and come with me Zi Ri." Ye Shuhua flew out and was about to leave.  "No one is allowed to move." With a sharp shout, everyone turned around and saw Mrs. Bian holding a sharp gold hairpin against the throat of the Zhaoping County Lord.  Ye Shuhua had to stop when his mother was held hostage.  "Third Young Master, you are anxious, we have not failed yet." The old man chuckled.  Ye Xiaojing's spirit perked up, the decadent look on his face disappeared, and he shouted in surprise: "Mother." "Bian, Yi, Ru!" Ye Fan glared angrily and shouted by name.  "So you still remember my name." Mrs. Bian sneered and turned her eyes. When she saw Zi Shi still holding Ye Xiaojing with a knife, she was furious, "You piece of shit, why don't you let the Third Young Master go quickly."  The sword was not put down. He was Ye Shuhua's loyal guard. Without Ye Shuhua's order, he would not obey other people's orders, so he let Ye Xiaojing go.  Mrs. Bian said bitterly: "Ye Fan, tell him to let Jing'er go quickly." "Xiao Jing has done such a treacherous and unethical thing, and we cannot be lenient." Ye Fan said coldly.  "Ye Fan, I'm not bargaining with you, you have to do this. Please listen to me clearly. If you don't want her to die in front of you, then give up the position of city lord to Jing'er. I think you are Jing'er.  For the sake of your son's biological father, you are allowed to retreat to Qichun Garden and be your boating leisure person, otherwise" Mrs. Bian sneered twice, and passed the golden hairpin in her hand forward an inch, piercing the skin of the Zhaoping County Lord.  .  Ye Fan solemnly said: "I will not leave Deng Yingcheng in the hands of an unkind, unjust, loyal and unfilial person." Ye Shuhua took a step forward and looked nervously at the gold in Mrs. Bian's hand.  Although Hairpin was very worried about his mother's safety, he also knew that his father would not agree to Mrs. Bian's request. Even if he let Ye Xiaojing go, Mrs. Bian still would not let the Lord of Zhaoping County go.  "Ye Fan, don't pretend to be in front of me. Others don't understand you. I know very well that you are reluctant to let her die. Don't delay any more time. If you continue to delay, nothing will change. You have to abdicate.  Fact. "Mrs. Bian pulled the golden hairpin in her hand hard, and a cold light shot out of her eyes.  County Princess Zhaoping took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and bit her lips tightly. A long scar appeared on her neck, and blood gushed out, staining her light blue stand-up collared shirt red.  "You vicious woman!" Ye Fan cursed as the heartache flashed through his eyes.  "Ye Fan is heartbroken to see this bitch hurt, right?" Mrs. Bian looked at Ye Fan's gloomy face, and suddenly felt a sense of joy and pride, even if this heartache was not for her, but for  She had been jealous of the Lord of Zhaoping County for more than thirty years. This extremely proud and aloof man finally fell into her hands today and could be tortured by her!  He laughed wantonly and said, "Ye Fan, if you don't want to see her tortured, stop procrastinating, hand over the city lord's token quickly, and give up the city lord's position to Jing'er." "Idiots are talking." Zhaoping County  The Lord said calmly.  "Ah!" Mrs. Bian whispered, a smile froze on her face.  Ye Fan stood closest and saw clearly. He rushed over, hugged the Zhaoping County Lord, and retreated sharply.  As soon as he stepped away, the people in the hall saw clearly that there was a dagger stuck in Mrs. Bian's abdomen.  It was obvious that the dagger was inserted by County Lord Zhaoping. At his son's birthday party, County Lord Zhaoping attended with a murder weapon. This was something Mrs. Bian had not expected and she was not prepared for County Lord Zhaoping. The woman's ruthlessness was not inferior to that of County Lord Zhaoping.  man.  "Ah ah ah." Mrs. Bian held the dagger in both hands and fell backwards to the ground.  "Mother!" Ye Xiaojing shouted.  "Cousin!" the old man shouted.  Ye?Looking at Mrs. Bian sitting on the ground, a cold light flashed in her eyes. The alarm bell outside came again. Today, most of the guards have been mobilized to Qiu Shuang Hall. The situation in Wenlan Pavilion is critical, and she said: "Shuhua, here  I'll take care of it. Go to Wenlan Pavilion quickly." Ye Shuhua turned to leave.  "Stop." Another shout.  Ye Shuhua stopped again and looked back. This time it was his wife Song Ruoxi who was held hostage.  Song Ruoxi was about to cry but had no tears. She was so worried about the safety of County Lord Zhaoping that she didn't notice that a maid in the hall stood up, touched behind her and held her with a sword.  Zhaoping County Lord is fine, but she is in trouble.  The situation in the hall has changed again. Things happened tonight with twists and turns. No one could predict what would happen next.  When Shangguan Moxun saw Song Ruoxi being held hostage, there was a hint of annoyance in his deep eyes. After getting rid of the fake Chen Mo, he should have returned to her side immediately to protect her. He should not have been so negligent and put her in danger.  among them.  "Ye Shuhua, if you kill yourself, your woman will be fine." The man in the guard uniform said with a proud smile.  "Mingjuan, you are crazy, why are you doing this? You almost let the young lady go." Seeing that it was her personal maid who held Song Ruoxi hostage, Mrs. Yue was shocked, she struggled to sit up, and shouted anxiously.  "I'm not Mingjuan." The maid said.  Yue was stunned for a moment, "You're not Mingjuan, who are you? What did you do to Mingjuan?" "It doesn't matter who I am, and your affairs have nothing to do with me. I'm just employed by others, come on."  Take this woman away. "The maid did not answer Yue's question, but held Song Ruoxi and walked out the door.  Ye Shuhua, Canniang and others are following closely, and they must not let her take people away like this.  For a moment, except for the old man who looked at Mrs. Bian with eyes, no one else cared about Mrs. Bian who was sitting on the ground, with little air intake and too much air out, and she was about to die.  "Who hired you?" Ye Shuhua asked in a deep voice.  "According to the rules on the road, I cannot say the name of my employer." The maid smiled, "Actually, you can guess it even if I don't say it." Ye Shuhua frowned slightly and said, "As long as you let my wife go.  , I will give you five times more money. " "I accepted his money and will help him get the job done." The maid curled her lips and said, "That's it, you give me five times more money.  How about I give this woman to him first and complete the transaction, then I will bring her back and give her to you?  Maybe you can be free and easy, and don't have to do this kind of thing of drawing blood from the edge of a knife. "Ye Shuhua tempted the other party.  "As expected of the young city lord who ascended Yingcheng, he was so generous." The maid knew that Ye Shuhua was stalling for time, and she was also stalling for time. Taking away Song Ruoxi was one of her tasks, and she prevented Ye Shuhua from rushing to Wenzhou.  Lan Pavilion is the second task.  "I keep my word. As long as you let him go, I will immediately give him the money with both hands." "I only recognize money and not people. If you put ten million taels of silver in front of me now, I will release him immediately."  "Otherwise, Young City Master, there is no need to say anything. I am also a moral person and will not take on two businesses at the same time. If I lose my reputation, I will be looked down upon." The maid sneered.  The Qiu Shuang Hall was very spacious. The maid dragged Song Ruoxi, and she had to guard against Ye Shuhua and others trying to snatch her away. She was not walking fast. When she was only one step away from the door, a black shadow appeared outside the door, with two palms.  Yun Li hit the maid on the head, and immediately her brains flew out and blood splattered everywhere.  Song Ruoxi’s face was covered with a mixture of brains and blood. This bloody stimulation so close at hand made Song Ruoxi faint from fear. She closed her eyes and fell straight back.  "Yingying!" "Young madam!" Shangguan Moxun reached out and hugged Song Ruoxi to prevent her from falling together with that headless woman.  Ye Fan stood on the jade platform and watched all this. Seeing that Song Ruoxi was out of danger, he said, "Shuhua, hurry up and go to Wenlan Pavilion." Ye Shuhua didn't seem to hear what Ye Fan said, and took it from Shangguan Mo Xun.  He took Song Ruoxi, took the silk handkerchief from Xiangxiu, wiped the brain matter and blood from her face, pinched her waist, and called softly: "Yingying, wake up, wake up quickly."  " "A person who loves his children and doesn't care about the overall situation is not suitable to be the city lord of Dengying City," the old man said with a sneer.  Ye Fan looked at him and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who are you?" The old man raised his lips and smiled, "Zhang Huaren." "Are you Zhang Huaren?" Ye Fan looked up and down at the skinny old man in front of him in disbelief.  , "Are you the famous fortune teller in He Kingdom?" Zhang HuarenRecalling his old name, a trace of melancholy appeared on his sallow face, and there was a hint of sigh in his slender eyes, "It's just a false name, not worth mentioning." Ye Fan sneered and said: "People say that God's fortune teller never misses anything, you hide it  There are so many names" "Jing'er, cousin." Mrs. Bian was already on her deathbed and shouted weakly.  Ye Xiaojing said with tears: "Mother." "Cousin." Zhang Huaren shouted sadly.  Mrs. Bian twitched the corner of her mouth, half-smiling but half-crying, "It's me who has caused you trouble." "Mother." "Cousin, don't say such things." "Cousin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I in the next life,  I will never let you down again in the next life." Mrs. Bian looked at Zhang Huaren with tears in her eyes.  "Cousin, cousin." Zhang Huaren's eyes turned red.  Ye Fan's face turned blue. His concubine had an affair with another man, which greatly damaged his face.  Mrs. Bian and Zhang Huaren looked at each other for a moment, then turned and looked at Ye Fan sadly, "Ye Lang, Ye Lang." Ye Fan snorted coldly and ignored her.  "Ye Lang, look at me, tell me, in what way am I inferior to Mu Xiluo? Why do you do this to me?" Mrs. Bian asked sharply.  Ye Fan looked at her with complicated eyes, "I have never compared." "Why don't you compare?" Mrs. Bian asked.  "No need." Ye Fan said calmly.  The Lord of Zhaoping County looked at Ye Fan and then at Mrs. Bian, his eyes darkened slightly and his eyelids lowered.  "Yes, it's not necessary, it's not necessary." Mrs. Bian laughed, and blood poured out of her mouth, "I have been unable to see through you for so many years, but today I finally understand that you are not a heartless person.  , you are not a sentimental person, everything you do is to protect her, the Bin family, the Yu family, the Tian family, the Qiu family, and Mrs. Li, you never take them to your heart, you only care about them  Favor, no love, the woman you love most from the beginning to the end is her, Mu Xiluo. But Yelang, Yelang, we have known each other before, why did you go to Fujian to ask her to be your wife?  Don't you want to marry me? In terms of talent, appearance, character, and family background, how am I inferior to her? Why do you want to marry her? Why don't you marry her" The question stopped abruptly, and Mrs. Bian knew the answer clearly.  But he still persisted in seeking the answer, but he died without hearing the answer from Ye Fan himself.  "Mother, mother." Ye Xiaoliang cried.  "Cousin, wait for me." Zhang Huaren grabbed the sword on his neck, wiped it hard, cut his neck and killed himself, and followed his cousin who he had been in love with for many years.  He said that Ye Shuhua's children had a long love for each other, so why wasn't he trapped by love?  "Uncle!" "Dad!" He was crying and shouting on the other side, and Song Ruoxi slowly woke up. What caught his eyes was Ye Shuhua's handsome face full of worry, "Senior brother." "Yingying,  Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay." Ye Shuhua held her tightly in his arms.  Before Song Ruoxi could speak, the alarm bell sounded again outside, and Ye Fan said unhappily: "Shuhua, hurry up and go to Wenlan Pavilion." A flash of hesitation flashed in Ye Shuhua's eyes. He didn't want to leave at this time and be frightened.  The excessive Song Ruoxi.  Although Song Ruoxi was still in shock, she could still hear the anger in Ye Fan's tone. She pushed Ye Shuhua and said, "I'm fine. Go quickly and be careful." Ye Shuhua helped her stand up and looked at her standing position.  Shangguan Moxun, who was on the side, said sincerely: "Master Luo Qi, please help me take care of Yingying." A faint light flashed in Shangguan Moxun's eyes, and he nodded slightly.  "Thank you." Ye Shuhua then rushed to Wenlan Pavilion with his people.  Ye Fan ordered his attendants to take the men in black into custody and interrogate them later. Now he was dealing with Ye Xiaojing. He stared at him sharply and asked in a deep voice: "Treason, what else do you have to say?"  "Ye Xiaojing lowered his head and remained silent. The facts were before his eyes. Even if he begged, it would be of no avail. If he became a king or defeated a bandit, what awaited him would be either death or exile.  "Okay, very good. Since you have nothing to say, you can go with your biological mother. Your wife and children are guilty of the same crime as you and are exiled" "Father, your daughter-in-law is not guilty, and the children are even more innocent."  The daughter-in-law didn't approve of what the Third Young Master did, so she sent a message to Yuxian's sister-in-law through the mute woman who was cleaning the garden, telling her that tonight there would be "Bitch! You damn bitch, you are so stinky.  Mother-in-law, you ruined my life! Damn you bitch! Bitch, bitch, I’m going to kill you!” Ye Xiaojing was furious when he heard this.  , kicking his legs wildly, wishing he could kick Yue to death. ??"You bastard, shut up! Shut up!" Ye Fan scolded.  Ye Xiaojing panted heavily and glared at Yue Shi with vicious eyes, like a ferocious beast that wanted to bite people. It was really hard for him to accept that the person next to his pillow had ruined his important event.  "Yuxian, is what Yue said true?" Ye Fan asked.  Canniang supported Song Ruoxi, whose legs were still a little weak, and walked over. Shangguan Moxun followed her, never leaving.  "Father, it is true that the mute woman is locked up in the small side building of Dongyuan." Song Ruoxi said.  "Ms. Yue, since you know this is not allowed, why don't you stop Xiao Jing?" Ye Fan's words are a bit embarrassing. How could Ming Yue stop Ye Xiao Jing?  "Father, the daughter-in-law tried to persuade him, but the third young master was coaxed by Zhang Huaren and his son and wanted to be the city lord, so he couldn't listen. The daughter-in-law didn't want to see him fall into a doomed situation, so she had to take this step and ask Yuxian's sister-in-law.  Warning. "The Yue family put the responsibility on Zhang Huaren and his son, trying to reduce Ye Xiaoliang's guilt.  Ye Fan's face softened slightly, "It's rare for you to do this." "My father praised me, but my daughter-in-law didn't dare to deserve it." Mrs. Yue kowtowed a few more times, "Father, the third young master made a big mistake, and my daughter-in-law didn't dare to ask for it."  The father forgives him, but please let him live for the sake of his children! The children cannot live without their father! " Before Ye Fan could speak, the guard guarding the door said loudly: "City Lord, Wenlan Pavilion.  There was fire coming out from the side. "Ye Fan rushed out, and Canniang also supported Song Ruoxi outside. Looking up, there was a fire in the direction of Wenlan Pavilion.  Song Ruoxi's heart tightened. Will something happen to Ye Shuhua?  Zhaoping County Lord grabbed Ye Fan's arm, "City Lord, will Hua'er be in danger?" "Shuhua will be fine." Ye Fan narrowed his eyes, "Miao Sheng, Feng Wei, lead your people to rush  Go to Wenlan Pavilion and protect the young city lord. "The two captains of guards who were named came out in response and rushed to Wenlan Pavilion with their team of guards.  No one spoke, they all stood quietly on the steps in front of the hall, looking at the sky red with firelight in the distance.  As time passed little by little, the firelight rising into the sky gradually became fainter and eventually disappeared.  No one knows what the situation is like in Wenlan Pavilion.  It is not known whether Ye Shuhua is safe or not.  Both Zhaoping County Lord and Song Ruoxi were worried. In their uneasiness, they waited for about two quarters of an hour before Ye Shuhua appeared in front of everyone.  "Hua'er!" Zhaoping County Lord shouted in surprise.  Song Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her heavy heart.  Shangguan Moxun looked at her and smiled slightly.  "Shuhua, how is the situation?" Ye Fan asked eagerly.  Ye Shuhua walked up to the steps, knelt down on one knee and said, "Father, the guards tried their best to stop the thief. The thief did not steal anything in the pavilion, but when he escaped, he set fire to Ganlin Courtyard." Ye Fan's wrinkled eyes  His eyebrows relaxed slightly, "You stood up and replied." Ye Shuhua stood up.  "Do you know who broke into the pavilion?" "The person who broke into the pavilion was Chen Mo, that is, Chen Xin, the prime minister of He Guodong." After going around and around, he is still the culprit, this man who uses all kinds of tricks.  Ye Fan asked some more about the situation and found out that the thief had not been caught yet and the guards were still searching everywhere. There were only four gardens. In such a big place, it would not be easy to hide hundreds or thousands of people, let alone a dozen people.  It was discovered that these people could sneak into the garden and act, so they must have a place to stay, and the person who provided them with a place must be Ye Xiaojing. He turned back to Qiu Shuang Hall and saw Ye Xiaojing lying limp on the ground. He became furious and walked away.  He stepped forward, kicked him hard, and cursed: "You are a traitor, you have led a wolf into the house, and the century-old foundation of Dengying City has almost been destroyed in your hands. Tell me, where are the hiding places of those thieves?"  "Beiyuan's Liyuan." Ye Xiaojing already understood at this time that he was being used by Chen Mo. No wonder those killers hired with huge sums of money were so vulnerable. It turned out that he and his second brother had been replaced by others a long time ago.  They are also chess pieces in Chen Mo's hands.  At this time, there was no need for him to cover up anything for this person who had nothing to do with him.  The things in the hall were basically over, and the effect of the drug had dissipated. People who were lying on the ground got up one after another, with a hint of panic in their expressions.  Ye Shuhua saw that County Lord Zhaoping and Song Ruoxi were both in distress, and worried that their bodies could not bear it, he said: "Father, mother is injured, so let her go back to the yard first." Ye Fan looked at County Lord Zhaoping  The solidified blood stains on his neck and the remaining blood stains on Song Ruoxi's forehead sighed softly. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been frightened enough today, and they couldn't help. There was no need to let them suffer here.  "You all go back to your room and rest. You can also go out of the city." "The thief hasn't been caught yet,"It's not safe for Xianxian to go back to Dongyuan, so let her and I go back to Danningju. We two mothers can be together and take care of each other.  "Zhaoping County Master thought more carefully. He turned around and saw Ye Shuting and the pregnant Chen. "Ting'er, the eldest daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law should also go to Danningju together.  Ye Shuhua led people to send Zhaoping County Lord and others back to Danning Residence, and asked the guards to guard them at all levels. After making sure they were safe, they rushed to Liyuan in Beiyuan to arrest them.  Shangguan Mo Xun left quietly, his figure disappearing into the night.  This thrilling night made both Zhaoping County Lord and Song Ruoxi feel very tired, so they ordered the maids to bring hot water, freshen up, and prepare to go to bed.  After washing her face, Song Ruoxi still felt the smell of blood. She grabbed her hair and smelled it, wrinkled her nose, "I want to wash my hair, I want to take a bath." The maids went to prepare hot water again, and Song Ruoxi thought about it.  The sight of brains and blood splattering on her body made her feel sick, and her skin wrinkled from soaking in the water. She climbed out of the bath only after Canniang and Xiangxiu urged her repeatedly.  When Song Ruoxi had tidied up and was about to give up, she lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would recall the scene just now and wailed: "Silkworm Mother, please click on my sleeping hole.  Can't sleep." "Young lady, close your eyes and don't think about anything." Canniang got up from the bed and walked over.  "I didn't think about it, but as soon as I closed my eyes, it appeared." "Young Master Shangguan was too cruel, but it was not a good time. If you weren't cruel, Madam, you would have been taken away." Song Ruoxi  His eyes flashed slightly, and he said softly: "Thanks to him being here today." "Yes, thanks to Master Shangguan being here, it was so thrilling." Canniang agreed.  "You go to sleep, I'm sleeping too." Song Ruoxi turned sideways and closed her eyes.  Canniang helped her tuck in the quilt, stood up and left.  Song Ruoxi was motionless, lying quietly, thinking about what happened at night, with so many thoughts that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.  And she is not the only one who has trouble sleeping tonight!  ??The morning light suddenly appeared, and it was a new beginning of the day. Although he went to bed in the early morning, Song Ruoxi got up early. The Zhaoping County Lord obviously did not sleep well all night, and his eyes were obviously green.  "My daughter-in-law wishes my mother well." Song Ruoxi stepped forward and saluted.  "No need to be polite, sit down." Zhaoping County Lord touched his neck wrapped with cloth and stared at the door.  Song Ruoxi sat down on the chair, frowning slightly, "I wonder what happened? Has anyone been caught?" Zhaoping County Lord clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you." Song Ruoxi clasped his hands together  , whispered the auspicious mantra to ward off disasters, "囩Mo三多多. MU Tuo Nan. A Bao La Di. He Duo She. Suo Na Nan. Ta Nephew. Om. 佉佉. 佽呬. 佉呬. 彐 Hum. Come in. Come in. Come in. Come on. Come on. Come on.  "What kind of mantra is this?" County Lord Zhaoping asked hurriedly as he was not a devout Buddhist and was not very familiar with Buddhist mantras.  "This is the auspicious mantra to eliminate disasters. If you recite it one hundred and eight times, the disaster will be eliminated and good luck will follow." Song Ruoxi said with a smile.  "Okay, okay, I'll recite it with you." Zhaoping County Chief said.  The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law recited a spell, and Ye Shuting got up and joined in.  Wei Lingjuan and Mrs. Chen hurriedly went to see the children. The children did not attend the dinner last night, otherwise such a fright would have left a shadow on their young minds.  At almost noon, Ye Fan and his son walked into Dan Ning Residence. They were still wearing the same clothes as yesterday and looked a little haggard.  In the battle in Liyuan last night, five people were captured, eighteen were killed, and six escaped. Chen Mo was also one of the escapees. They escaped from the waterway in Liyuan. In order to catch him, Ye Shuhua led people to chase him.  I passed by, but it was a pity that I returned without success.  Song Ruoxi had long expected that the extremely cunning Chen Mo would not be caught so easily. Hui Jin said that Chen Mo wanted to be the emperor. If he was killed so easily, Shen Ni's words would be wrong.  Liar.  Ye Fan interrogated Ye Xiaojing and Zhang Huaren's son Zhang Jun overnight, but did not catch Chen Mo, which did not prevent him from dealing with Ye Xiaojing and Zhang Jun.  Although Mrs. Bian and Zhang Huaren were dead, Ye Fan was very angry when he thought that they had an affair. He ordered their bodies to be dumped in a corpse pit outside the city and exposed in the wilderness as punishment.  Ye Xiaojing and Zhang Jun committed extremely heinous crimes, and they were exiled to the island of Bei, and they never returned without mourning.  Once he is forced to do hard labor in a salt well, he will be punished without mercy.  The other members of the Zhang family and the Bian family are far away in the country of He, beyond their reach and cannot deal with it, so they can only give up temporarily.  Chen Mo was not caught on the spot, and he had a scapegoat. Even if he knew that he planned this matter, he could not be held accountable. The only thing he could do was??Caught him before he could escape back to He Kingdom, and executed him secretly.  After having lunch at Danningju, Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi returned to Shuyuyuan.  "Master Luo Qi now lives in Tingzhuxuan in Nanyuan." Ye Shuhua took the initiative to mention Shangguan Moxun.  Song Ruoxi was slightly stunned and asked: "When did he come to Yingcheng?" "He has been here for more than ten days. He learned that someone paid a lot of money to hire a killer to kill me, so he came here specifically to inform me to take precautions.  "Ye Shuhua's eyes flashed with pain, "The third brother did not hesitate to seek skin from a tiger in order to get rid of me." "He deserves to be exiled to the island, but what should the third sister-in-law do?" Song Ruoxi thanked Yue for not being filial to Ye.  He was complicit and sent a message to warn her, not wanting to see her punished.  "Third sister-in-law did not participate. My father promised to be lenient. The third brother was not as guilty as his wife and children, so she and Rong Jie Zhiyao were allowed to stay in the palace." However, Ye Fan wanted to be lenient, but the Yue family was not willing.  After learning that Ye Xiaojing was exiled, she went to the city to beg Ye Fan to let her accompany Ye Xiaojing in exile.  Ye Fan refused.  Mrs. Yue knelt outside Dan Ning's house and refused to get up.  It was raining, the north wind was blowing, and the soaked clothes could not keep out the cold. Yue was shivering from the cold.  An hour passed, and my feet were numb from my knees, and my face was as white as paper.  The Lord of Zhaoping County couldn't bear to see it, so he advised Ye Fan: "People say that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately. I respect my brother's daughter-in-law, but she is willing to endure hardships with him. This is  The love is so rare, just let her go!" "She's going to follow her. What will happen to her child? If she's going to be exiled with her, what will happen to what I said?" Ye Fan asked coldly.  The principal of Zhaoping County choked. Seeing that he was still very angry, it was difficult to persuade him.  Aunt Zhou came in and reported, "Madam, Mrs. Yue San has fainted." Zhaoping County Lord glanced at Ye Fan and sighed softly, "Bring her in and call for a good doctor to look at her." The good doctor is here.  After checking her pulse, Mrs. Yue gave her a bowl of cold medicine. When she regained consciousness, Zhaoping County Lord persuaded her and ordered her to be sent back to the palace. However, as soon as the city gate opened the next day, she received  As Ye Rongjie and Ye Zhiyao entered the city, mother and son knelt upright outside Danning House, letting the sharp cold wind blow up their thin clothes.  Song Ruoxi came out to greet the Lord of Zhaoping County. Seeing this scene, he sighed. The Yue family had a deep love for Ye Xiaojing and would never leave her. I hope Ye Xiaojing can cherish it.  Ye Fan finally agreed to let the Yue family accompany Ye Xiaojing in exile. Brothers and sisters Ye Rongjie and Ye Zhiyao did not go to Qi Island with their parents, but stayed in the city and were temporarily raised by the Lord of Zhaoping County.  In the evening, Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi held a banquet in the Jianqiu Hall of Dongyuan to entertain Shangguan Moxun. To express their feelings, they went to Tingzhuxuan to pick him up.  When they walked near the bamboo forest, they heard the sound of rustling in the forest. The two looked at each other and walked quickly along the winding path. After not walking far, they saw Shangguan Mo Xun leaping in the air with a long sword in his hand.  , the sword light in the sky was like dots of stars flashing by, dazzling and dazzling, the sword energy was like a rainbow, and wherever it passed, the bamboo leaves rotated and flew, like angry waves rising into the sky, fast and fierce.  Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi stood aside quietly and watched.  The sword's power changed, and the sword light changed from sharp to agile, flowing, coherent and free.  Shangguan Moxun lightly touched the ground with his toes, jumped up in the air, turned around, pointed his sword in the sky, drew an arc in mid-air, stopped, landed lightly, raised his lips and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?  ?" "Come here and invite you to dinner." Ye Shuhua said with a smile.  "Invite me to dinner, can you have some good wine?" Shangguan Mo Xun tied the soft sword around his waist and asked with a smile.  Ye Shuhua asked with a smile: "Is Qiulubai considered a good wine?" "Qiulubai is the best wine among good wines. I will definitely drink a few more glasses." "Please." Ye Shuhua made a gesture of invitation.  Shangguan Mo Xun smiled, "Please." Song Ruoxi looked at the two polite men in front of her and smiled.  The three of them went to the Jianqiu Hall in Dongyuan.  That night, Ye Shuhua and Shangguan Moxun had a very pleasant conversation. Song Ruoxi sat next to Ye Shuhua and poured wine for them. They didn't say much during the dinner. Some things didn't need to be said, as both of them understood it.  The two of them were in high spirits and drank dozens of bottles. Their faces were red, their eyes were blurred, and their tongues could not be slurred. They were already drunk.  Song Ruoxi quickly asked someone to bring two bowls of sobering soup. Ye Shuhua drank it obediently, but Shangguan Mo Xun refused to drink it at all, and pursed his lips tightly.  "Young madam, Mr. Luo Qi refuses to drink." Xiangxiu and others had no choice but to ask Song Ruoxi for help.  Song Ruoxi walked over, picked up the bowl, and put it to his mouth, "Here, open your mouth and drink the soup." "Bitter." Shangguan Moxun turned his head away. ?Song Ruoxi coaxed him, saying that the soup was not bitter.  But Shangguan Moxun was unmoved. After all his good words, the soup was almost cold and he refused to open his mouth to drink.  Song Ruoxi said with a straight face: "If you don't drink the soup, I won't be polite." Shangguan Moxun looked at her, covered his mouth tightly with both hands, and blinked at her with a little pride.  Song Ruoxi didn’t expect the drunk Shangguan Moxun to be so cute, she couldn’t help laughing and chuckled.  But no matter how cute it is, it doesn’t matter. You must drink this soup.  Song Ruoxi finally poured the sobering soup into Shangguan Moxun's mouth, causing Shangguan Moxun, who was always afraid of hardship, to wrinkle his handsome face into a bun.  Song Ruoxi went to order someone to carry the chariot to serve Shangguan Mo Xun. He listened to Zhuxuan. She supported Ye Shuhua back to Shuyuyuan.  The next day, Shangguan Mo Xun declined Ye Fan's kindness to keep him and left. Ye Shuhua sent him out of the city.  Five miles outside the city, Ye Shuhua took out a small carved brocade box inlaid with jade from the carriage and handed it to Shangguan Moxun, "This is what Yingying asked me to give to you." Shangguan Moxun's eyes flashed slightly and he took it.  Brocade Box, "Thank you." "Have a safe trip, take care of yourself." Shangguan Moxun smiled lightly and said, "You should also take care of yourself." They each got on the carriage, one drove away, and the other turned back to the city.  Shangguan Moxun opened the brocade box, which contained a lady's xun. There was also a lotus paper beside the xun, with a line of beautiful words written on it, "Send you a xun, wish you a happy birthday, cherish it!" Shangguan Moxun's eyes  His face darkened, he opened the curtains and looked back. He was far away from the city, and the high city walls could no longer be seen, let alone the people inside the high walls. He smiled sadly, lowered the curtains, picked up the lady's xun, and put it to his lips.  , and played the song "Farewell" leisurely.  ??Leaning on the railing to watch the rotten flowers blossom, the moon once drank wine to celebrate the reunion night.  The moon waxes and wanes, the flowers blossom and wither, and I think of farewell as the most painful thing in life.  The flowers have faded and spring is almost here. The moon has faded and the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived. When will people come back after they have gone?  Shangguan Mo Xun left, but has Chen Mo left?  Is he still hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities?  He didn't get either the people or the things. After spending so much time setting it up, he couldn't give up easily.  Ye Xiaojing told everything he knew, but since Chen Mo didn't really join forces with him, what he knew was what Chen Mo wanted him to know, and what Chen Mo didn't want him to know, he couldn't know.  People from the Falcon Camp, Cheetah Camp and Hunting Tiger Camp were searching the city, and those who left the city were also scrutinized very carefully, not letting go of any clues. However, Chen Mo seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Five days later, there was still no trace.  If there is any news about him, the searchers suspect that he may have escaped from the city.  But Ye Shuhua refused to give up and asked them to continue the search and interrogation. They did not dare to disobey the young city lord's order, but the search and interrogation was a bit perfunctory and bluffing.  On the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, Ye Xiaojing and Yue Shi were escorted out of the city and headed to Qidao to stay with his second brother Ye Xiaoshun.  Yue's kind thoughts saved Ye Rongjie and Ye Zhiyao from having to go to Qi Island to suffer. However, they were separated from their parents at a young age. They may not be able to see each other again in their lifetime. The pain of separation may be even greater than theirs.  Follow the hardships of going to Chi Island.  Song Ruoxi remembers reading a sentence in a book, forgetting begins on the seventh day.  Seven days have passed, and although she has not completely forgotten what happened that night, she will no longer think of the bloody scene when she closes her eyes. Song Ruoxi begins to live her leisurely life again.  On the eighth day of September, frost is the last solar term of autumn, so the flowers brought to the porch in the courtyard will be replaced by daffodils and orchids that bloom in winter.  In the afternoon, the flower girls from the flower garden brought dozens of pots of flowers on a large wooden cart.  "The young lady is resting. Please be gentle and keep your voice down. Don't wake up the young lady. If you do, I won't let you off lightly." Ouyang warned in a low voice with a straight face.  The mother-in-law who brought the flower girls in said with a smile: "Sister, I am too cautious. This is not the first time we have brought flowers. Don't worry, we will never disturb the young lady." "You flower girls  , I look at how many of them look unfamiliar?" Ouyang was very vigilant.  "Those who are older, Madam Grace has been released to match others. These are the new recruits. It's their first time here. Of course, the old sister looks a little unfamiliar. Don't worry, old sister, they are nimble with their hands and feet and will not make any mistakes.  Yes." The woman laughed.  Ouyang looked at Canniang, Canniang nodded slightly, indicating that those few had no martial arts skills, Ouyang felt relieved and said: "Okay, come in and do things quickly." The flower girls moved around and got busy.  Song Ruoxi took a nap in the afternoon. When she stood by the window, she saw that the yard had not been tidied up yet and it was a mess coming in and out, so she didn't go out. She sat on the couch eating snacks and reading a storybook.  “嗵嗵嗵?Xiangduo, Xiangxiu and Qinghe who were sitting in the room embroidering flowers fell one after another.  "Smell" Song Ruoxi felt dizzy for a while. At this time, she realized that the fragrance in the room was not the fragrance of roses, but it was too late to realize it. Her eyes went dark and she fell unconscious.  As soon as Song Ruoxi fell down, the door curtain was opened, and two people walked in from the outside. They were dressed in flower girl clothes. They helped Song Ruoxi tidy up quickly and carried her out of the room.  He put it at the bottom of the big wooden cart in the courtyard, put down the wooden shelves one by one, and then put the flower pots on top, completely covering Song Ruoxi.  Song Ruoxi was transported out of the inner city in such a grand manner. She woke up from the swaying bumps, opened her eyes, and sat up. The narrow space could not reach the items placed there, so she immediately  It was determined that she was in a carriage, and the shaking beneath her body clearly told her that it was a moving carriage.  She was kidnapped from her home. Who could be the person holding her hostage?  No need to think too much, the answer is ready to come out.  ??Chen Mo.  Apart from him, no other person would do such a thing.  The car door opened, and a woman in blue bent down and came in. Seeing her eyes open, she smiled slightly and said, "Girl, you're awake." Song Ruoxi didn't have a photographic memory, but she still recognized this person at a glance.  The woman was one of the people sitting next to Chen Mo that night, her eyes darkened, "Where is this?" "On the way." The woman in blue sat down opposite her and smiled, "On the way out of Dengying City.  " "Your master, where is he?" Song Ruoxi asked.  “Girl, don’t be impatient, you will be able to meet our young master soon.” The woman in blue smiled.  The carriage was quiet for a long time. Song Ruoxi said, "Bring me a mirror." The girl in blue smiled, found a bronze mirror from the dark wall and handed it to her.  Song Ruoxi took a look in the mirror, and as expected, it was not the face she was familiar with.  Chen Mo was very well prepared this time and was determined to win her. He put down the mirror and said, "Is the thing you sneaked to Wenlan Pavilion to find more important than me? Would you rather give it up than kidnap me?" "For Young Master,  He said, you are equally important. There is no way to get the things from Wenlan Pavilion, so it is not a worthwhile trip to kidnap the girl." The woman in blue smiled and put the bronze mirror back in its place. "Is the girl hungry?  "Hungry?" "What's there to eat?" Song Ruoxi wasn't hungry, but she didn't want to face the woman in blue. She wanted to think of a way to escape quietly.  "Girl, please wait a moment." The woman in blue said politely, opened the car door, and turned around to add, "Girl, please be patient, otherwise, I will have no choice but to knock the girl unconscious." Song Ruoxi sipped.  No words spoken.  The woman in blue exited the carriage.  It was impossible for Song Ruoxi to just sit there and do nothing because of her warning. She reached out to lift the curtains, only to find that the curtains were firmly nailed to the car wall, the same on both sides. She could not see the carriage go.  Somewhere, he gritted his teeth, lay back on the soft cushion, and closed his eyes. Don't panic, don't be anxious, Ye Shuhua will definitely come to find her when he finds out that she is missing.  The woman in blue didn't wait long before she came in again, carrying a tray with rice and two bowls of vegetables. "It's inconvenient on the way, so I can only aggrieve the girl." Song Ruoxi stared at her and said, "I'm already married.  Please call me Young Madam." "I will change my words when the girl gets married." The woman in blue pressed on the wall of the car, and a small table rose up, and she placed the tray on it.  Please have dinner, girl." Dinner?  Song Ruoxi's eyes flashed. Judging from the time, she should still be in Dengying City. She was secretly happy. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating slowly. Her mind was running fast. How could she leave a mark so that Ye Shuhua could  Follow it?  After finishing the meal, the woman in blue put away the dishes and chopsticks, and Song Ruoxi lay quietly on the cushion again, staring at the roof of the car, and continued to think of ideas.  Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves, and the woman in blue came in. Before Song Ruoxi could react, she reached out and touched Song Ruoxi's mute point, and pulled the quilt to cover her.  Song Ruoxi heard someone shouting outside: "We are ordered to check the passengers coming and going! Who is in the carriage? Get out of the carriage quickly!" The carriage slowly stopped.  "Who are you? Whose name is it? Who else is in the car?" "Little Pan Liuzi sent my aunt back to her parents' home to visit relatives. It was freezing cold and my aunt was sick and couldn't get out of the car, so she was lying in the car."  The driver lied.  "Go and check." "Yes!" Another voice responded.  The car door opened, Song RuoxiThe man came in and took a look, then backed out. He didn't check carefully at all, and didn't even look at her or the woman in blue.  "My lord, there are two women in the car, they are sick and crooked." If Song Ruoxi could speak out, she would definitely scold him and talk nonsense without even looking.  She couldn't make a sound, she could only hear the sounds outside disappear and the carriage start moving again.  The woman in blue untied Song Ruoxi's acupoints, "These people's inspections are becoming more and more lax day by day. It's easy for us to leave the city." Song Ruoxi glanced at the woman in blue and said nothing. She felt that such an inspection would  It is better not to check and waste manpower.  The carriage swayed forward, and after an unknown period of time, it stopped. The girl in blue held her arm, "Girl, we're here, let's get off." After getting off the carriage, Song Ruoxi found that the sky was very dark.  , they could vaguely be seen standing outside a house. She didn't know whose house it was, but she knew that she was still in Dengying City.  The driver stepped forward and knocked on the closed wooden door. After waiting for a moment, the door opened with a "squeak" and the woman in blue pulled Song Ruoxi in.
