Disaster For the Country · Return Journey

Chapter 30 – Dead First

But for Qiu Jiang and Zhu Xiaozhao, she is a disciple of the Liuli Sect, and she belongs to Ding Sansan.

Sending her to Ming Gong’s side is not only to monitor Ming Gong, but also to contact Yi Shu and control the inner court.

Last year, Minggong died and Yishu came to the throne. According to the old rules, she should continue to stay in the palace and watch over Yishu while enjoying the glory and wealth; or return to Ruyimen to wait for the next mission. But the katydid collapsed, and the Ruyimen had internal strife, and they lost control of her for a while. Unexpectedly, she actually appeared in the brothel in Feng County, and was promoted to Wu’er yesterday… What happened?

As if seeing everyone’s doubts, Luo Ziyan smiled and said: “I have been recuperating here for a year. During this period, I heard that my wife was ill, so I sent someone to look for it, and I didn’t find it until the day before yesterday. She went to see a doctor. Madam was very happy, so she rewarded me as a fifth son.”

What she said sounded okay, but it was actually vague. At least, as far as Zhu Xiaozhao knew, Jiang Wanyi had a feud with Luo Zi, so why would he still associate with her?

Luo Zi was originally a maidservant of the Jianghuai family in the Biguo Tai Hospital, who served Jiang Wanyi, the son of the Jiang family, and learned a lot of medical skills from him. But Jiang Wanyi is a weirdo. Although he likes medical skills, he refuses to enter the imperial hospital. After a big fight with his father, he runs away from home. Luo Zi was redeemed by distant relatives and brought back home.

However, the so-called distant relatives are actually disciples of Ruyimen, and Ruyimen needs such people, so Luo Zi falls into a more involuntary situation.

She was thirteen years old when she entered the Ruyi Gate. At that time, Qiu Jiang was returning from Xie’s house along the southern edge, and was formally appointed as the Seventh Master. The two had met each other from a distance. Later, Luo Zi was selected to enter the palace, and there were ten people who entered the palace. After seeing the ten people behind the curtain, Qiu Jiang looked at her face and said: “In my opinion, this woman has hope to stay until the end.”

Mrs. Ruyi asked, “Why?”

Qiu Jiang looked at Luo Zi whose hands were tightly twisted together, and said, “She has desire in her eyes. Those who have desire are often better than those who can only obey orders.”

It turned out she was right.

Among the ten stunning beauties, only Luo Zi could endure the brutal Ming Gong and became a noble concubine. Later, together with Yishu, she brought down Ming Gong and poisoned him to cause him to have a stroke.

Afterwards, when Yishu invited the three kings to gather in Luwan in the name of celebrating her birthday, Luo Zi even helped her cover up her whereabouts. She did not hesitate to destroy her reputation and claimed that she had an affair with Jiang Wanyi. If Jiang Chenyu hadn’t been quick-witted and cleared Jiang Wanyi’s suspicion on the spot, Jiang Wanyi’s reputation would have been ruined.

However, if she hadn’t met Jiang Wanyi, how could Mrs. Ruyi have left Bianyan City and come here?

Moreover, Jiang Wanyi did appear in front of him and Qiu Jiang just now, to diagnose Qiu Jiang’s pulse…

Zhu Xiaozhao became more vigilant. In his plan, after he captured Qiu Jiang and Pin Congmu, he went straight back to Brilliant City to force Mrs. Ruyi to pass the scepter to him. But now, Mrs. Ruyi has changed places, with Luo Zi and Yi Fei added. There are changes in the plan, and changes usually mean that one mistake will lose everything.

He has always been careful and is very good at forbearance, so he immediately made up his mind not to rush to deal with Mrs. Ruyi, let’s wait and see.

A group of people followed Luo Zi and walked into the bedroom. Although the small building is built facing the sun, it is very shady and cool due to the rocks in the north. This year’s drought, even though it’s already September, is still hot, but when you walk in here, it’s as if you’ve entered the late autumn, and all the sweltering heat and sweat evaporate, making you feel indescribably comfortable. Moreover, the furnishings in the house are exquisite and luxurious. Compared with Mrs. Ruyi’s small building in Lianyan City, the taste is more than a little bit higher, and it is not inferior to the palace of Bi Kingdom.

Qiu Jiang thought to herself, this woman deserves to be the one with the highest status in the secret works sent out by Ruyi sect, and she actually got herself such an enjoyable place to retreat. In contrast, no matter whether it is her who is the eldest lady of Nanyan Xie’s family, the eleventh lady of Feng Xiaoya, Hu Zhiren who is the head of the Hu family’s branch, and Si’er who is the close attendant of the old King Yan, they all have a smooth life. very bitter.

There is a big brocade couch in the bedroom, Mrs. Ruyi is sitting on the couch with her arms around her, and two maidservants in white clothes are serving her to take medicine.

Luo Zi immediately went up to take the medicine and spoon from the handmaid’s hand, and said, “I’ll come. Ma’am, they’re here.”

This was the first time Yifei saw Mrs. Ruyi up close, and she was finally no longer a blurred image in the mirror, but Ke Yifei felt that there was actually no difference.

Feng Xiaoya once told him: “Daodao told me that Mrs. Ruyi is a beautiful woman, but her hair is fake, her eyebrows are fake, her teeth are fake, and her face is stiff when she smiles. It feels like everything is fake. .”

At that time, he thought, how could there be such a person.

Now he thinks, the description is too terrific!

This is a beautiful woman like a puppet, with a smooth face that does not reveal her age, and her every move is extremely elegant. She is sitting there drinking medicine, but it is as if she is sitting in a palace and preparing to receive her subjects.

She is indeed a woman who has secretly manipulated her father for thirty years.

As soon as Yi Feigang thought about it, Mrs. Ruyi’s gaze was on Pin Congmu, and she said in a deep voice, “Congmu.”

Pin Congmu replied: “Madam.”

Mrs. Ruyi made a look, and the disciple who carried Pin Congmu put him on the ground. Mrs. Ruyi slowly saw his face from pin to leg, and asked Zhu Xiaozhao, “What’s going on?”

“Report to Madam.” Zhu Xiaozhao said respectfully, “Madam sent the Seven Lords to Luwan to capture the Queen through a grand feast. The subordinates felt that the Seven Lords alone must have made omissions, so they brought people to support…”

Mrs. Ruyi narrowed her eyes: “This is why you left my side without authorization?”

Zhu Xiaozhao quickly knelt down: “I received the news that the teacher also went to Luwan. The matter was urgent, and Madam took medicine and fell asleep at that time, so she left without having time to ask for instructions…”

Mrs. Ruyi listened quietly, expressionless.

“And when I arrived at Luwan, the Seven Lords were seriously injured and failed to capture Yishu, we had no choice but to invite the teacher back first.” Zhu Xiaozhao was already in a cold sweat.

Mrs. Ruyi stared at him for a while, and then slowly said: “Really? Get up.”

“Thank you ma’am!” Zhu Xiaozhao heaved a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Ruyi glanced at Qiu Jiang, who was pale, and said, “Trash.”

Qiu Jiang knelt down and fell to the ground.

Yi Fei looked at her from the sidelines, feeling inexplicably sad—is this the end of you returning to her at all costs? So humble, so cowardly, so submissive.

Is the person I know, the smart, the smart, the strong, the secret but the shining, really just a painting?

What kind of reason is it worth doing?

However, Qiu Jiang did not feel his eyes, his pain, or his entangled emotions. She crawled on the ground respectfully, like an inconspicuous piece of dust.

Mrs. Ruyi finally looked at Yifei: “Why did you bring him?”

Before Zhu Xiaozhao could answer, Yi Fei came back to his senses, bent over and said: “Xiao Wang escaped to Bi Country back then, thanks to Madam’s secret help, I have always regretted that I haven’t thanked Madam in person, today I can see Madam’s true face , is really lucky for three lives!”

Mrs. Ruyi smiled softly, her eyes were like spring water, gentle and clear, which made people feel very comfortable. Yi Fei’s heart swayed, and then he became vigilant: Charm?

“The Third Highness is really good at talking… Sier, untie the Third Highness.”

Zhu Xiaozhao said yes, and pulled the rope off Yi Fei’s body. The first thing Yi Fei did when he was free was to walk up to Qiu Jiang and stand beside him, but Qiu Jiang didn’t look at him. It was Luo Zi who was standing beside Mrs. Ruyi, staring at him intently.

Sensing Luo Zi’s gaze, Yi Fei turned his head and saw Luo Zi smiling at him.

This smile is meaningful.

Yifei seemed to realize something in his heart.

After Luo Zi fed the last mouthful of medicine, she bowed and said, “Ma’am, do you want to send the left and right back?”

Madam Ruyi nodded. Luo Zi then waved his hands to make the disciples of the Silver Gate and the maidservants in white retreat out, closed the door, and returned to Mrs. Ruyi’s bed again.

Mrs. Ruyi lifted the quilt, got up and landed on the ground, and walked to Pin Congmu with lotus steps.

Yi Fei was very surprised to see her walking as usual—I heard that she was insane, and what she saw in the mirror before was also seriously injured, but now she seems to be completely healed!

Seeing Mrs. Ruyi walking, Pin was also slightly taken aback.

Mrs. Ruyi turned around in front of him: “How?”

Pin Congmu sighed: “It seems that Jiang Wan’s clothes are not in vain.”

“Yeah, he said that I’m fine, and I can live another twenty years at least. So in the battle between you and me, in the end, I will win.”

Pin Congmu smiled and said: “I am convinced.”

“Really? But why do I feel that you don’t think so at all?”

Pin Congmu deliberately glanced at Zhu Xiaozhao: “Maybe… because it was he who caught me in the end, not you?”

Zhu Xiaozhao immediately said: “Everything I do is for Madam. I am Madam’s third hand. So, if I catch you, Madam will catch you!”

“That’s not what you said in the carriage when you came.”

A flash of anger flashed in Zhu Xiaozhao’s eyes, he turned and knelt down and said, “Ma’am, this person is sowing discord!”

“I know it well.” Mrs. Ruyi said to Pin Congmu, “I know what you want to say. Do you want to say that he is actually a **** you placed beside me, and has been monitoring me for you for this year? “

Pin Congmu smiled and said, “You know everything?”

“The first day these little tricks came to me, I told me.”

Pin Congmu’s smile stiffened suddenly. And Zhu Xiaozhao laughed: “I am a disciple of Ruyi Sect, and Ruyi Sect has only one master—not the teacher, but the wife.”

Yi Fei watched from the sidelines in amazement: This is not a double-sided work, it is three sides, four sides, countless sides! No wonder both Qiu Jiang and Pin Cong Mu fell into this person’s hands. Now even if they tell Mrs. Ruyi that Zhu Xiaozhao has other intentions and wants to become king on his own, Mrs. Ruyi probably won’t believe it, and maybe they will fulfill him.

Pin Congmu also figured this out, smiled and said: “Okay. It’s because I hired people improperly, and I lost everything.”

“Then, answer me a question.”

“Madam, please.”

Mrs. Ruyi stared at him and kept watching, Yifei couldn’t help thinking: Damn, she doesn’t like him, does she?

Finally, Mrs. Ruyi said: “I have known you for twenty years. Sixteen years ago, you asked to join Ruyimen. I cherish your talent. Although Ruyimen does not accept disciples under the age of ten, I made an exception and accepted you.” You, and promote you to be the deputy sect master, and take over ‘Blue Flower’.”

Pin Congmu said indifferently: “Madam is kind to me.”

“Although I am a bit self-willed at times, rewards and punishments are clear, and I think I have nothing to do to you. You are in the Ruyi Gate, you can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand…” Mrs. Ruyi bent down, close at hand Staring at him, like a snake staring at a frog, asking every word, “So, why?”

As the frog being watched, Pin Congmu didn’t show any signs of panic, and replied with a faint smile, “Madam would like to ask, why did I betray you?”

“I can’t figure out why you did this series of things. For money? Most of Ruyimen’s money has long been in your care; for power? I have retreated for many years, and the disciples in the door are under your control; for freedom? I don’t want to be subject to I am in control, just kill me, why not kill them all, and send a small trick to take care of me and save my life?”

Pin Congmu glanced at Zhu Xiaozhao and said, “I sent him to stay by your side, why didn’t he tell you?”

“The little trick said, you kept my life because you wanted to extract the ‘Four Kingdoms’ from me.”

“That’s right, it’s for the Four Kingdoms.”

“Lie!” Mrs. Ruyi said firmly, “The world thinks it is a treasure that records the secret history of the four kingdoms. They don’t know, but you don’t know? That thing is worthless at all, what are you going to do?”

Zhu Xiaozhao’s heart tightened. Yi Fei also immediately focused a little bit.

What exactly is the spectrum of the four countries?

Why did Pin Congmu and Qiu Jiang both want it, but Mrs. Ruyi said it was worthless?

After being silent for a while, Pin Congmu laughed self-deprecatingly: “You really don’t believe it. Since you think it’s useless, why don’t you give it to me?”

“Because of the rules of the Ruyi Gate, it only belongs to Mrs. Ruyi. I can’t break the rules of my ancestors.”

“You follow the rules so much? Then let me ask you, she is over 20 years old, why don’t you abdicate and pass on the position of sect master to her?” Pin Congmu suddenly pointed to Qiu Jiang on the ground.

Now, even Qiu Jiang had to raise his head. She looked at Pin Cong Mu and then at Mrs. Ruyi, her expression was extremely complicated.

Mrs. Ruyi’s false face suddenly turned pale, and she said coldly, “What do you mean?”

“According to the sect rules, every Mrs. Ruyi is selected from the Ji family’s daughters. Before the age of ten, she will be brought into the sect and taught carefully. When she becomes an adult, she will take over the Ruyi sect, and the old Mrs. Ruyi can return to Ji’s family.”

“That’s because when she went to carry out Feng Xiaoya’s mission at the age of nineteen, I thought she was dead!”

“But you later found out that she didn’t die. She came back and returned to your side, why didn’t you give her the seat?”

Mrs. Ruyi said angrily: “Are you trying to provoke the relationship between our aunt and nephew?”

Pin Congmu looked at Qiu Jiang and said: “I just want to tell you that your aunt doesn’t want to pass the throne to you at all. It’s useless even if you die a hundred times for her. And you—” He looked at Zhu Xiaozhao again, “She will not pass it on to you either. As long as she is alive, she will hold everything firmly in her own hands and will not give it to anyone.”

“you!”

Mrs. Ruyi was about to refute, but Pin Congmu interrupted her: “You said that I am taking care of the money of Ruyimen, but the land deeds and house deeds are all in your possession. I can only operate but not buy and sell.”

Yifei thought, no wonder what he gave him last time was all fake.

“You said that the disciples of Ruyimen are under my control, but they are all afraid of you to death. When your Ruyi brush appears, everyone will be out of their wits.”

Zhu Xiaozhao’s eyes flickered, and he silently clenched his palms. He thought of the Yinmen disciple who rolled off his carriage, all of them were eagles boiled by his wife.

“Why do you go crazy? Because you practice magic skills, you want your face to be young and wrinkle-free forever, and you are afraid of getting old. Getting old means leaving the stage. So, at the beginning, you blocked Ji Hu from getting started, and you didn’t like her. But Langya put pressure on you, you had no choice but to give in. Then, Ji suddenly came, you should have cultivated her carefully as an heir, but you didn’t, you let her go through hardships and escaped death with other disciples. You assigned her All of them are the most dangerous missions! You want her to die on missions.”

“Nonsense!” Mrs. Ruyi turned to Qiu Jiang and said, “There is no such thing. This person betrayed us and even tried to provoke us. He is extremely abominable!”

Qiu Jiang looked at Pin Congmu steadily, and suddenly said, “Why didn’t you come on New Year’s Eve that year?”

Pin Cong was taken aback.

“I sent you a letter. I will set up a scheme to kill Feng Letian on New Year’s Eve, and ask you to pick me up and bring me back to Ruyimen. But you didn’t come, and I fell into Feng Xiaoya’s hands. I lost my memory. I would be better off die.”

Pin Congmu’s expression was a little stiff.

Mrs. Ruyi immediately said: “That’s right! It was him! It was he who didn’t save you, not me! I was in a retreat at the time, and I didn’t know anything happened to you! And you were nineteen years old at the time, what I thought was that The last mission, when you return victorious, I will pass it on to you. Really!”

Pin Congmu sneered.

Qiu Jiang said again: “You said that my aunt didn’t like me and wanted to kill me with a mission. But I didn’t die. Not only that, I also completed the mission and became agate step by step. Because I went up by strength, all the disciples in the sect Convinced me.”

“Yes!” Mrs. Ruyi patted her on the shoulder approvingly and said, “Being able to become Mrs. Ruyi with your own strength is my best friend. Auntie is strict with you precisely because the wishful door can be in your hands.” to flourish even more.”

Pin Congmu sneered: “Then you pass the position to her. Now! Now! Do you dare?”

“Why don’t I dare? Of course I can now-” Mrs. Ruyi stopped abruptly, her eyes swept back and forth between Qiu Jiang and Pin Congmu, and suddenly smiled, “I said, you two…could it be Was it in collusion?”

Yi Fei’s heart trembled: Is it really a double spring?

But the next moment, he dismissed this idea, because Qiu Jiang’s condition looked so bad that he seemed to die at any moment.

Pin Congmu smiled faintly and said: “Yes, I colluded with her to force you to pass the position to her—to a dead person.”

Mrs. Ruyi suddenly turned around and grabbed Qiu Jiang’s wrist to take the pulse. After a while, she shot sharp eyes at Zhu Xiaozhao and said, “Qi’er, what’s going on?”

Zhu Xiaozhao kicked and said anxiously: “The wounds in the seven main bodies are not healed at all…”

“I know she’s not well, but how did it get so serious?”

“Xu Shi was traveling all the way… I ran into Guo Jiang Wanyi on the road…”

“What did the divine doctor say?”

“The genius doctor said that the Seven Lords probably… won’t survive tonight…”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Yi Fei was the most shocked. He grabbed Qiu Jiang’s other hand, only to feel that that hand was icy cold, without the slightest heat, and when he took her pulse, it fluctuated suddenly and slowly, and was even more chaotic.

He couldn’t help trembling and said, “Where is Jiang Wanyi now?”

Zhu Xiaozhao said: “He said that since this person is hopeless, there is no need to waste time, he still has another patient to see…”

Luo Zi immediately bowed and said, “Ma’am, I’ll ask someone to invite him back!”

Mrs. Ruyi nodded, and Luo Zi went out.

Qiu Jiang pushed Yi Fei’s hand away, then grabbed Mrs. Ruyi’s hand and stood up unsteadily.

She continued to stagger to Pin Congmu, took out a very carefully wrapped small bag from her arms, opened one layer and another layer, wrapped several layers, and lying in the innermost one was a Rusty arrows.

Yifei immediately recognized that it was the arrow that shot Ji Ying to death.

Qiu Jiang held the object in front of Pin Congmu, and said in a low voice, “Let me ask you again, do you know this arrow?”

Pin Congmu’s lips moved, and suddenly fell silent.

Mrs. Ruyi at the side narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Whether or not Auntie is willing to pass on the throne to me, and when to pass it on to me, is a matter for our Ji family, and you don’t need to dictate. But my brother’s death is what I care most about… Tell me, is it you?” ?”

Pin Congmu let out a long sigh: “This is an accident…”

“Slap!” Qiu Jiang slapped him so hard that Pin Congmu fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Qiu Jiang grabbed him, pointed the arrow point at his eyes, and said in a deep voice, “So it was you! It was your poison, your accident, that caused Ji Ying’s death?”

“…yes.”

“If you don’t come to pick me up on New Year’s Eve, you are the one who allowed me to lose my memory on Yunmeng Mountain and prevent me from going back to Ruyimen?”

“…yes.”

“Why?”

Pin Congmu glanced at Mrs. Ruyi, and when he looked at Qiu Jiang again, there was a lot of pity in his eyes: “You are my student… one of my favorite students. Since I want to break up with Mrs. Ruyi, instead of asking you to help her To deal with me, it is better to remove you. Although you have lived a very hard life on Yunmeng Mountain, it is worse than staying in Ruyi Gate and continuing to live and die with **** hands…”

Qiu Jiang sternly said: “I don’t need you to help me choose my destiny! I don’t need anyone to help me choose!”

Pin Congmu looked at her sympathetically.

“How could you treat me like this? Five years! Five years! How could you treat me like this?” After speaking, his voice nearly choked.

Pin straightened up, took the arrow from her hand, stared at the colorful blood stains on it, and said with a smile: “Forget it. After all, there is a price to pay. I have lost everything, and the winner is…” He He glanced at Mrs. Ruyi, then at Zhu Xiaozhao, and finally returned to Qiu Jiang’s face.

“you.”

Accompanied by the final sound of the last word, Pin Congmu slapped the arrow towards his heart.

Qiu Jiang was startled, and quickly reached out to grab it, but the arrow had been completely submerged in the body, and blood gushed out immediately. It was red at first, and soon turned dark red…

Mrs. Ruyi pushed Qiu Jiang away, stepped forward, shook the arrow out with internal force, then quickly tapped the surrounding acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, and said anxiously: “I haven’t allowed you to die yet! You betrayed me, betrayed Qi’er, Betray Ruyimen, do so many wrong things, don’t even think about dying!”

Pin Congmu laughed, and a large ball of blood foamed from the corner of his lips.

Furious and anxious, Madam Ruyi kept patting his acupuncture points, trying to force the poison out. Although there was very little toxin left on the arrow, Pin Congmu’s body was too weak. He was already festering and festering. Once his heart was pierced by the arrow, it would die immediately.

Mrs. Ruyi’s eyes were misty, and she said bitterly: “You are not allowed to die! Pin Congmu, I will not allow you to die! You owe me so much, why do you die if you don’t pay it off?”

At this time Luo Zi came back, saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: “Ma’am! You just drank the medicine, you can’t use your internal strength!”

“Go away!” Mrs. Ruyi shook Luo Zi aside with her internal force, and continued to stimulate Pin Congmu’s heart: “Why did you betray me? Anyone in the Ruyi Gate can bear betraying me, but you can’t! En, and the grace of saving my life! I gave you the best everything in the world, power, status, glory, honor, and trust, but you treat me like this!”

Pin Congmu moved his eyes, didn’t look at her, but looked through her at Qiu Jiang behind her, finally smiled and closed his eyes.

Mrs. Ruyi was startled, and stopped her frantic movements. She felt Pin Congmu’s pulse, and his pulse stopped beating.

Mrs. Ruyi went to sniff him again, and his breathing also stopped.

Mrs. Ruyi had a series of expression changes on her face, and she murmured: “How could it be…” She got up slowly, stomped a few steps in the room, turned around, and rushed over again to check Pin Cong’s pulse. Can’t touch it. In the end, she was shocked, as if waking up from a dream.

“Congmu? Congmu! Congmu, it’s not true… This, this…” She looked at the other people in the room in a panic, and they also looked at her dumbfounded.

Seeing this scene, Yi Fei confirmed the suspicion in his heart—Madam Ruyi really likes Pin Cong Mu.

Mrs. Ruyi staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground with a slap.

Luo Zi hurriedly stepped forward to help her, worried: “Ma’am?”

Mrs. Ruyi lowered her eyes and looked at her hand, which was already cold with his blood remaining on it. Then she chuckled, and laughed again, and finally broke into a big laugh.

“This is the fate of betraying Ruyimen!” She opened her eyes sharply, looking at Zhu Xiaozhao sharply, “Did you see that?”

Zhu Xiaozhao turned pale with shock, plopped down on his knees again: “This subordinate dare not! This subordinate is loyal to Madam…”

“Really?” Mrs. Ruyi sneered, she walked in front of him holding Luo Zi’s hand, and stepped on the back of his hand fiercely with one foot.

Zhu Xiaozhao didn’t dare to say anything, he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

“You brought him to me, you brought me the powerless him…what’s your intention?”

Zhu Xiaozhao was startled, and raised his head in a panic: “Ma’am?”

“You brought him to me, you know I won’t let him go, and you know he’ll **** me off. You want to see us both hurt?”

Zhu Xiaozhao showed disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: “He betrayed you, and he should be arrested and dealt with according to the school’s rules. Where did I, where did I go wrong?”

Mrs. Ruyi smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes: “I didn’t tell you to catch him!”

Zhu Xiaozhao’s body shook violently as if he had been hit hard.

“I didn’t tell you to help Qi’er, I didn’t tell you to catch Congmu, I gave you an order to stay by my side! But you acted on your own, do you really think I don’t know what you’re thinking?” Before Zhu Xiaozhao could respond, she stepped on her other foot fiercely.

Zhu Xiaozhao watched helplessly as his hands made crackling sounds, and his knuckles were broken joint by joint.

Mrs. Ruyi gave Luo Zi a look, Luo Zi clapped her hands, and the white-clothed sword maids escorted a group of people in from outside. Yi Fei saw that they were all Yinmen disciples who were with Zhu Xiaozhao before.

Luo Zi said: “This man has brought twenty disciples with him. Except for the two who resisted and were killed just now, the other eighteen have been captured. Madam, please let me know.”

It was only then that Yi Fei realized that when she went out just now, she did not send someone to find Jiang Wanyi for Qiu Jiang, but to help Mrs. Ruyi get rid of Zhu Xiaozhao’s men.

Zhu Xiaozhao’s complexion changed drastically, and he looked in horror at the eighteen Yinmen disciples with bruised noses and swollen eyes.

Everything that happened in this room just now attracted him so much, he was so engrossed in his eyes that he didn’t hear the fighting sound below at all.

A voice poured out heavily from the depths of my heart, over and over again, spreading layer by layer, getting louder—

It’s over.

It’s over!

“Come on, tell Madam, what did Fourth Master order you to do?” Luo Zi kicked one person’s leg. The man knelt down on the ground and wanted to look up at Zhu Xiaozhao, but when he saw Mrs. Ruyi first, he froze immediately, with a rustling sound from his throat.

Madam Ruyi raised her eyebrows.

The man trembled suddenly, sweating profusely, and said anxiously: “Fourth Master told us to find Mr. Pin before the disciples of the Golden Gate, and bring him back and keep him alive.”

“He didn’t act with you?”

“No, he said that he was going to do something alone, and he wouldn’t let any of us follow. We were squatting on the official road in Fengxian County before we saw his carriage and met him.”

Mrs. Ruyi asked Zhu Xiaozhao: “You said you went to Luwan to help Qi’er and arrest Congmu. But they did all of that. Where did you go?”

Zhu Xiaozhao couldn’t help but glance at Qiu Jiang. The dying Qiu Jiang didn’t look at him, but at Pin Congmu on the ground, with endless sadness in his eyes.

So Zhu Xiaozhao couldn’t help turning his attention to Pin Congmu’s corpse. There was even a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed. He couldn’t see how much pain he had suffered before he was born.

“Little trick, do you want to know… your original name?”

His words appeared in his mind inappropriately at this moment, Zhu Xiaozhao’s eyes flashed, he looked up at Mrs. Ruyi and said: “Madam, I started at the age of four, and I started to accept missions when I was fourteen. I have not done as many things as the Seven Lords, and I have not done as much credit as the Seven Masters, but I have always been cautious and made no omissions. The teacher ordered me to monitor you, and I will confess to you as soon as possible. you…”

Mrs. Ruyi sneered: “Are you asking for credit?”

“I’m not asking for credit when I say this.” Zhu Xiaozhao stood up slowly as he spoke, his two hands with shattered knuckles hanging limply by his side, “Madam is good at boiling eagles. Tortured to the point of losing humanity. Just like them, they have all martial arts, but they can only obey and never know how to resist.”

The eighteen Yinmen disciples were astonished and looked at each other in dismay.

“Hongyu was abused by you and grew up, but when she grew up, she regarded you as her mother and devoted herself to you. She had no fault at all, but she was killed by you personally just because she wanted to be Mrs. Ruyi. At that time, I I thought you were protecting the Seven Lords. Now I realize…you are doing it for yourself.”

Mrs. Ruyi’s complexion changed slightly, and her face sank: “What did you say?”

“At this moment, you want to punish me in front of so many disciples, just because I didn’t obey your order to stay by your side? No, you want to kill me, but because you found out that I also want to be the master of Ruyimen You are not an eagle boiler, you are an ant queen. When an eagle boiler grows old, he will think of passing on his unique skills to the next generation. Only the queen will kill all the ants that may become the new queen.”

“Nonsense!” Luo Zi was furious, and wanted to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Mrs. Ruyi.

“Let him finish.”

Zhu Xiaozhao looked at his crippled hand, and said in a low voice: “There is a kind of red ants among ants. They don’t know how to work, so they go out to **** the eggs of other ants and return them to the nest to hatch. When these ants grow up, they will become red ants. A natural servant will not resist. Ruyimen is such a red ant. And you, the queen, won in the end. The teacher is gone, the seventh master is coming soon, the third prince is in your hands, Ruyimen is safe, and soon You will be able to revive. All the ants inside the door who want to be queen ants have been wiped out by you…” He lowered his head and took off the green gloves on his hands little by little with his mouth, revealing the **** and **** ants inside. hands.

“Madam, do you know why I keep wearing these gloves?”

Mrs. Ruyi looked at the hands that were crushed by her, her eyes flickered slightly: “Didn’t you say that the rouge and gouache would make you itchy?”

“Yes, I said I was itchy for rouge and gouache, please arrange other tasks for me. But you didn’t allow me to be the shopkeeper of Zhu’s shop, and said that Zhu’s is my family, so I will You should go there. That’s what you said when you sent Zhiren to Hu Jiuxian’s house. You said that his surname is Hu…” Zhu Xiaozhao smiled slightly at this point, “Only Hongyu among us remembers her surname, so she really wants to be Seven Treasures Agate, but you have kept the Seven Lords in the position of Agate, but you refused to complete Ruby. You use these seemingly insignificant things to hang us, bind us, imprison us, and want us to love you …isn’t that ridiculous?”

Seeing this, Yi Fei couldn’t help thinking that Zhu Xiaozhao is a rare understanding person. Ambition sometimes destroys a person, but it also completes a person. At least this person did not live as insensitive as other disciples.

It’s a pity that he still can’t beat Mrs. Ruyi.

This was probably his last words.

Just when Yifei was thinking this way, Mrs. Ruyi’s complexion suddenly changed, and she raised her hand to cover her face.

Zhu Xiaozhao smiled more and more cordially: “And your face, almost seventy people, don’t you find it ridiculous to wear such a face every day? Do you really think you can not grow old? Or do you think that rouge and gouache can really make you look old?” To keep you young forever?”

Madam Ruyi’s eyes flashed fiercely: “What did you do to my face?”

“Why do I wear gloves, because I am afraid of being poisoned. Why am I afraid of being poisoned, because I am the one who mixes the lady’s rouge powder.”

Mrs. Ruyi hurriedly stroked her face, and then found that her face was numb and itchy, as if being eaten by thousands of ants: “You actually poisoned me? What about the antidote? Hand it over!”

“There is no antidote. I don’t want to leave you any retreat, so, from the very beginning, there is no antidote. The longer you use the rouge powder, the more toxins will accumulate, and the moment I take off these gloves, the medicine will cause you Hair, all the poison erupts at the same time, and your fake face will rot away little by little.” Zhu Xiaozhao stretched out his shapeless hands, but it seemed to tightly hold on to Mrs. Ruyi’s life.

Mrs. Ruyi was furious and wanted to rush towards him immediately, but she was inexplicably afraid of his hand and just wanted to back away. “Wu’er, kill him! Oh no, you can’t kill him! Forcing him to hand over the formula, it will definitely solve it! Go find Jiang Wanyi and let him detoxify me, hurry up!”

Zhu Xiaozhao laughed loudly: “Just try to find a doctor.”

Luo Zi rushed to him: “Hand over the formula!”

“Why?”

“Hand over the formula so that you will suffer less pain before you die.”

Zhu Xiaozhao thought for a while, and said nonchalantly, “I’m not afraid of death. How can a person who crawled out of **** be afraid of death?”

Luo Zi froze, unable to do anything.

Mrs. Ruyi scratched her face, and the scratching was out of control, wishing she could scratch her entire face off. She was so angry that her whole body was trembling: “Ling Chi! Give him to Ling Chi!”

Zhu Xiaozhao said with a smile: “Isn’t it fresher? Ant Queen?” The last two words were extremely ironic.

“What do you want? What exactly do you want? Ruyi Gate? I’ll pass it on to you! Pass it on to you!” Mrs. Ruyi’s voice was filled with tears, and she scratched red marks on her face that was originally as clean as jade. , the most frightening thing was that she only felt itching more and more, it was so itchy that she was unable to think, and she was about to go crazy.

Zhu Xiaozhao looked at her coldly and didn’t speak.

Mrs. Ruyi began to roll on the ground, her hair that was originally raised up in a bun suddenly fell apart, and her elegant and noble image disappeared.

“My face! My face… ah! ah ah—” Madam Ruyi suddenly became ruthless, and rushed to grab Zhu Xiaozhao,
