Disaster For the Country · Return Journey - Chapter 31

Luo Zi dragged Yi Fei to the small bridge where the fish had been fed before, and then signaled to the maidservant in white to imprison the disciple of the Silver Gate. In this way, after everyone left, only Yi Fei and Luo Zi were left on the small bridge.

Luo Zi looked at Yi Fei, saw that his face was pale and lost his mind, and he couldn’t help giggling: “What are you afraid of? My wife and Yi Shu have already fallen out, and I will definitely use you in the future. You will become King Cheng, just around the corner.”

Yi Fei pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Luo Zi rolled her eyes, and said leisurely: “I see, you are afraid that the Seven Lords will die? Yu Guan said, she is hopeless. This is very good news for me, although Mrs. Ruyi is from Ji’s family. I chose it, but as far as I know, Ji Ying did a lot of trouble with his clansmen during his lifetime. Now, all the Ji family lives in their fiefs, and there is not a single girl under the age of ten in the younger generation. So, in the next girl Before I was born, I would be an existence under one person and above ten thousand people in Ruyimen.”

Yifei finally cast a sideways glance at her: “Are you so willing to be an ant?”

“What’s wrong with being an ant? It’s better than the one who wants to be a free eagle.”

Yifei suddenly laughed.

“why are you laughing?”

Yi Fei looked around the small building in front of him, and said slowly: “The throne carved from six hundred years old red sandalwood with the pattern of celebrating birthdays, the four-piece cabinet with the pattern of Kowloon passionflower, the two-foot-long red sandalwood screen wall, and the fish, dragon and sea beast on the light table. A pen holder is worth a thousand gold… If you are an ant, you are also the most expensive and most enjoyable ant.”

Luo Ziyan said: “The third prince really knows things very well…”

“However, this small building plus the bamboo forest in front of the building, from east to west, at most 300 steps; from south to north, at most 500 steps. Three hundred steps plus 500 steps have trapped you for a whole year. Are you willing to be trapped here for the rest of your life?”

Luo Zi’s smile disappeared.

“Madam Ruyi is cruel and heartless. She told Hongyu and Zhu Xiaozhao to turn against each other. Can you ensure that you are safe and sound?”

“So the third prince is now sowing discord?”

“I just don’t get it.”

“Don’t understand what?”

“Hongyu and Zhu Xiaozhao were too young when they started, so it’s understandable that they lost their natural temperament. And you should have grown up when you entered Ruyimen, why did you still remain loyal to Mrs. Ruyi? After witnessing their tragic ending Are you still infatuated?”

Luo Zi smiled slightly: “Don’t you know the reason?”

“oh?”

Luo Zi pointed to the small corridor in front of him and said: “The six-hundred-year-old throne carved from red sandalwood with the pattern of celebrating birthdays, the four cabinets with the pattern of passionflower in Kowloon, the two-foot-long red sandalwood screen wall, and the pen holder of fish, dragon and sea beast, and the inside of this building. everything of…”

Yi Fei’s eyes turned from shallow to deep.

“I grew up in a poor family, with seven younger sisters and a younger brother. When my mother finally gave birth to my younger brother, the family was too poor. So they discussed it all night and sold me the next day.”

Yi Fei frowned: “So you were sold to the Jiang family?”

Luo Zi laughed mockingly: “The dealer thought I was beautiful and wanted to sell it for a high price. Although he molested me every night, he never made the last step. But I was eight years old at the time, and I already knew something. Whenever he stretched out his hand to me When I came here, I was so sick that I wanted to vomit. Once I really vomited out, he poured cold water on me, and it was snowing outside, and I lay on the ground, shivering all over… Although it was cold and painful, there was no scar on my body…”

Yi Fei stopped talking immediately.

“Then I fell ill, very seriously ill, and was about to die. The dealer had no choice but to take me to the doctor because he was unwilling to lose money… On that day, it was snowing heavily outside, but the sun was shining brightly. Lying on the flatbed in a daze, I heard a person ask: “What’s wrong with her?” Luo Zi’s face changed very gently, “the dealer replied that I was sick, and the person said, can I take a look? The dealer doubted Speaking of you? The man said yes, me. Then a warm little hand was placed on my forehead. I opened my eyes and saw a boy younger than me, only seven years old, with a serious face, standing on tiptoe Lay down beside the car and watch me.”

Yi Fei guessed who that person was.

“Later I found out that he is the only son of Imperial Physician Jiang, nicknamed Yuguan. He told the dealer that I can be cured, but it will take a long time and a lot of medicinal materials. When the dealer heard that it would cost so much money, he didn’t plan to It was cured. So in the end, Yuguan bought me with ten buckets of rice and brought me back to the Jiang family.”

Yi Fei finally spoke again: “You are lucky.”

“Yeah, my luck is really good…” Luo Zi’s expression became more gentle when he talked about happy things, “I worked as Yuguan’s little maid in Jiang’s family, and my illness gradually recovered. Yuguan has learned a lot. He is really a very good person, I think, if one day, if he needs it, I am willing to die for him.”

“But you didn’t die for him. On the contrary, he came last year as an envoy of Bi Kingdom. After you met him again, you mercilessly cooperated with Yishu to frame him.”

Luo Zi’s face sank all of a sudden, and the tenderness faded away, like the snow after melting, the flawless white turned into sewage: “Because he is an idiot! It’s not right to be a son of the Supreme Hospital to mention his family. To experience the suffering of the common people!”

Yi Fei secretly sighed in his heart.

“A person like him who was raised in rich clothes and rich food, never washed clothes in the winter when the dripping water turned into ice, never did farm work in the dog days, never worried about having no money to buy rice tomorrow, and never knew how expensive a piece of silk clothes is… and I know it, and just because I know it, I swear that I never want to live such a miserable life again! I can’t forgive those who are born with all these things who are born with such good fortune, to give up such a good life so easily!”

“He saved you.”

“He saves everyone!”

Yi Fei was taken aback for a moment, and then understood: I’m afraid this is where Luo Zi’s knot lies. She thought she was that special person, the one who changed her life after meeting Jiang Wanyi. But later, she found that she was nothing special. In the heart of her god-like young master, there are only two kinds of people in the world: sick people and people who are not sick. So love begets hate?

“I begged him not to leave, and even in the end, I asked him to take me with me. If he insisted on going through hardships, then I would accompany him to endure hardships…but he didn’t. He abandoned me! I am no longer Jiang. My son’s personal maid, I became an ordinary maid, and then, Madam wants to betroth me to a groom…” Luo Zi looked at the pond under the bridge, her shadow was reflected in the pond water, as if she was born to be dressed like this Gorgeous clothes, and only this kind of clothes can match her gorgeous and charming face to the extreme, “Is a man who smells like sweat and horse manure on his body without taking a bath once in half a year, worthy of marrying me?”

There seemed to be a sigh in Yi Fei’s eyes, but he didn’t know if it was Jiang Wanyi who sighed, or Luo Zi.

“So I’m not reconciled, but I can’t help it. That’s when I was out shopping and I saw the dealer. He remembered me, recognized me, and I recognized him. He used to be alone, Now he has several attendants, wearing silk clothes, and seems to have some status. I heard from his followers that he was going to send a group of girls to the Holy Land. I asked him what kind of place the Holy Land is. He looked at my face obsessively, reached out to touch it but didn’t dare, he said—that’s where you were supposed to go five years ago.” Luo Zi sneered, “I don’t want to marry that groom, I don’t want to As a lowly slave, I want to be someone who is served. So, I came to Ruyimen.”

Yifei raised his eyebrows and said, “So, it’s not that Ruyimen came to you, but you took the initiative to find Ruyimen.”

“That’s right! Ruyimen doesn’t accept disciples over the age of ten, and I’m the only one.”

Yifei thought for a while, and said: “You are really a lucky person. When you fall into the hands of traffickers, you can meet Jiang Wanyi. When you don’t want to marry a groom, you can meet traffickers again. If you want to be rich, Mrs. Ruyi asked you to serve the lord of a country. After you become a noble concubine, you don’t want to serve that tyrant anymore, and the tyrant is finished. When you wanted to go back to Ruyi Gate, you found Mrs. Ruyi, and the two arms around her were both broken …everything you think of seems to come true.”

Luo Zi nodded and smiled: “So, it’s useless to sow discord, I won’t betray Madam.”

Yi Fei looked at her and fell silent again.

Luo Zi said: “Now, what else do you want to say?”

“Yes. I want to know, you have betrayed Jiang Wanyi and framed Jiang Wanyi so much, why is he still willing to treat Mrs. Ruyi for you?”

Luo Zi’s smile froze again.

The two faced each other and stared at each other.

After a long while like this, the smile on Luo Zi’s lips curled up again: “What did you find?”

“You have a beautiful smile.”

“You are also my half son, I smile at you nicely no, what’s the point of being kind?”

“Mrs. Ruyi doesn’t understand why she is also aging. She can look so good-looking when she ages, but she has tried her best to make a fake face, and her beauty is still gone.”

“Why?”

“Because—a phase is born from the heart.” Yifei looked at Luo Zi, who is over thirty years old but still has a little girlish innocence, and smiled, “Similarly, your beautiful smile shows that you—have no malice in your heart.”

Luo Zi seemed to be stunned, and forgot to answer the conversation for a moment.

“Although Jiang Wanyi has no principles in practicing medicine, he is not a fool. On the contrary, he is extremely smart. He is not an extremely smart person, and he will not become a genius doctor. He will help you regardless of past suspicions, just to show…you are worthy of his help .”

Luo Zi’s eyes flickered, and she whispered, “What else do you know?”

“I also know that Xue Xiang and Master Zhu left Luwan one step ahead of me. Before leaving, he promised me—”

“Don’t worry. I will bring Mrs. Ruyi and Qiu Jiang back.” Xue Cai said at the time.

Thinking of this, Yi Fei smiled more happily: “Although Xue Cai is a little fox, he always keeps his word, and he has to admit that he is quite capable. Those who have the means set out earlier than me , but it hasn’t appeared until now, why?”

Luo Zi tilted her head: “Yes, why?”

“Of course it’s because… you haven’t come out yet?” Yi Fei looked in the direction of the bamboo forest and said word by word.

The breeze blew through the bamboo forest, making a humming sound like a flute. Amidst the whining sound, a young man stepped on fallen leaves and walked out slowly. White clothes and green bamboo set off his features clearly.

A child, but not like a child.

He didn’t come out alone, Jiang Wanyi was behind him.

Luo Zi was taken aback for a moment, “You… why are you back? Didn’t you go to see other patients…?”

Before Jiang Wanyi could answer, Xue Cai had already said, “He was worried that your hand wasn’t fast enough to fool Mrs. Ruyi, so he insisted on waiting by the side, just in case.”

Luo Zi’s complexion changed drastically, she thought of the words she had said to Yi Fei before, about her admiration, resentment, and heart knots for Yu Guan…all of them turned red at this moment.

Jiang Wanyi’s face also turned red, a little embarrassed.

Yi Fei was not in the mood to add insult to injury at the moment, teasing these two people, he quickly stepped forward a few steps, walked up to Xue Cai and said: “What’s going on here?”

“Didn’t you already guess it?”

“Qiu Jiang, she…”

Xue Cai nodded silently.

Yi Fei’s heart throbbed again, and he turned his head to look at the small building, thinking about what happened to that person in the building at the moment, both worried and distressed.

***

In the small building, Mrs. Ruyi first covered Pin Congmu with a blanket, touched his face tenderly, and said, “I never thought that he would die so easily.”

Qiu Jiang coughed aside, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and only his eyes were still a little energetic.

So Mrs. Ruyi glanced at her again and said, “I never thought that you would die so easily.”

Qiu Jiang forced a smile: “Life is unsatisfactory, nine out of ten.”

“That’s right. Although my name is Mrs. Ruyi, I have never been very happy in my life…” Mrs. Ruyi sat down beside her.

Qiu Jiang threw her body towards her, and Mrs. Ruyi sighed, so she had no choice but to hug her. Human limbs sometimes carry strong hints. For example, at this moment, when she hugged Qiu Jiang, she realized that she was her niece, her junior, and her other child.

“I was sent to Ruyi Gate when I was nine years old. I was very shocked when I learned of my fate. Before that, I was the daughter of the third wife of the Ji family. My parents loved me like a treasure. I never thought that I would become such a huge organization.” At that time, I liked a gentleman of ethnology very much, and I thought that I could marry him as a wife when I grew up and have a bunch of lovely children for him…”

Then, fate gave her a big blow and told her that your life is not like that.

“I have cried, quarreled, and argued, but it was useless. When I was twelve years old, Mrs. Ruyi, my aunt, gave me a birthday present. I opened the box and saw Mr.’s head. She killed He wants to cut off my thoughts.” Mrs. Ruyi leaned against the wall, hugged the cold autumn ginger, and cast her eyes far away. That was her life, her most embarrassing past. “I didn’t give in. I was in so much pain that I gave up on myself. So not long after, I received another box with my mother’s head in it. My aunt asked me, do you want another box?”

Mrs. Ruyi looked at Qiu Jiang in her arms: “I said I was strict with you, but I have never treated you like this.”

Tears welled up in Qiu Jiang’s eyes.

“I learned to bow my head and accept my fate at the age of twelve. When I became an adult at the age of eighteen and inherited Ruyi Gate, the first thing I did was to kill my aunt and send her body back to the Ji family. I… hated the Ji family. “

Qiu Jiang was stunned for a moment, staring at the face in front of her that was beyond recognition, she suddenly realized that from the first day she saw Mrs. Ruyi, what she saw was a fake face, and for more than ten years, she didn’t know her original appearance . It’s like she didn’t know that such a tragic past happened to her aunt.

“I hate the Ji family, but I can’t get rid of it. Especially after your mother married the patriarch, the patriarch, my cousin, obeyed her. As the hostess, she kept ordering and commanding me. I couldn’t help it. Just think about it—why?”

Qiu Jiang’s eyelashes trembled. She had never understood why Mrs. Ruyi refused to fully trust her and pass on the throne to her. Pin Congmu said that it was because Mrs. Ruyi was reluctant to let go of power, but now it seems that it is clearly related to her mother.

“My identity cannot be revealed. My father is still firmly in your mother’s hands. I can only obey orders. I just endured this day after day, year after year, until Langya told me, yes It’s time to start cultivating you.”

Qiu Jiang’s chest constricted and her throat became sweet, and she coughed up a large mass of blood. She stared straight at the blood she spit out, like looking at a wound that was buried deep in her heart and was dug out again to expose it to the sun.

Langya…

It was a very familiar yet distant name.

***

For Ji Ying, son of Bai Ze, the turning point in life began on the night when his mother Lang Ya died of illness.

That night, Langya told his family’s biggest secret: Zhao Yin, the monarch of Bi Kingdom, was his own younger brother. When he asked how the older sister could marry the younger brother in such a situation, Langya couldn’t finish speaking and let go.

That day was the tenth day of February in the third year of Tubi.

Thousands of miles away in the country of Yan, Ji Hu, who has lost his memory, is struggling to get up on Yunmeng Mountain, trying to resume walking.

Although Lang Ya was dead, his father Ji Xi was still alive. Ji Ying dug out Ji Hu’s whereabouts from him, and also dug out another Ji family secret, which was the Family Book of the Four Kingdoms.

“For so many years, in order to maintain the prosperity of the Ji family, the ancestors secretly trained the dead to work carefully, spread eyeliner and bury nails on other ethnic groups. Later, more and more people became difficult to control, and the ancestors had a headache. It happened that the Ji family A daughter named Ji Yi became a widow with nothing to do, and wanted to start a career. The ancestors handed over this organization to her, and after she took over, she officially named it “Ruyimen”, calling herself Mrs. Ruyi.”

Ji Yi is a very capable woman, and Ruyi Gate is growing in an orderly manner under her hands. Her husband’s family is in Cheng, and she has lived in Cheng Guo for many years, and she felt that it was more suitable for the base camp, so with Ji Chang’s permission, she moved this shady organization to Cheng Guo. At that time, Cheng Guo was backward and poor, and the government was incompetent, so he opened the door to the matter of recruiting people.

In this way, Ruyimen grew step by step.

Ji Yi fell in love with a girl named Ji Yun in her clan when she returned to the country of Bi to discuss affairs in her later years, and brought her back to Ruyi Gate, cultivated her carefully, and passed the scepter to Ji Yun before she died.

So this became a secret rule of Ruyimen: every wife of Ruyi is selected from the girls of the Ji family. This matter was extremely secretive, except for every Ji family head, even the girl’s parents didn’t know about it, and told them that she died of an accidental illness.

In this way, on the surface, the Ji family is an aristocratic family in the country of Bi, and the disciples in the family are glamorous and elegant; secretly, they manipulate Ruyimen to collect money, explore secrets and assassinate, and later develop to export dead soldiers and secret guards to major families, so as to control There are many family secrets.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed.

Ji Xi, the head of the Ji family this time, is extremely weak, and his wife is in charge of all matters in the clan. His wife Langya admires Ji Yi very much, and thinks that kind of life is wonderful and happy. Therefore, when Mrs. Ruyi got old and it was time to choose an heir from among the daughters of the Ji family, Lang Ya insisted on sending his own daughter, Ji Hu, there.

Mrs. Ruyi has hated her for a long time, and when she learned that the next successor would have to be arranged by her, she became more and more dissatisfied, so she was very harsh on Ji Hu, and threw her into the same group of disciples who had started and ignored her for three years.

When 12-year-old Ji Hu reappeared, he was one of the best disciples in the group, led by Pin Congmu into the Katydite Mountain, and walked in front of her.

Mrs. Ruyi stared at the quiet and indifferent face of the twelve-year-old girl, and couldn’t help but think: I was far inferior to her back then.

Langya, you have chosen the right person.

However, this conclusion made her feel even more annoyed—why? She was coerced by that woman and worked half her life for Ruyimen, but in the end she was making a wedding dress for her daughter?

Although everything Langya did was for the Ji family, but the Ji family had a grudge against her for killing her mother and teacher, and even put her father under house arrest for the rest of her life.

“I know you are very good. No matter how difficult the task is, you can complete it every time. But the better you complete it, the more I see Langya’s shadow in you. She is obviously dead, but she My son and daughter are still alive, dangling in front of me all the time…” Mrs. Ruyi recalled this, she picked up Qiu Jiang’s chin, her eyes were heavy, like the sea before a storm, “I hate you and pity you, the more I appreciate you The more you are afraid of you, that’s why I never passed on the Ruyi Gate to you. Do you… hate me?”

Qiu Jiang shook her head.

“Why?”

Qiu Jiang thought for a while, then replied in a low voice, “Maybe it’s because… I don’t like the Ji family that much either.”

Mrs. Ruyi’s eyes underwent a series of changes, brightened and then darkened, and finally reached out to wipe away the bloodshot from Qiu Jiang’s lips: “So that’s how it is…”

Qiu Jiang gasped violently: “Auntie, can you tell me something?”

“Say it.”

“Where is the spectrum of the Four Kingdoms?”

Madam Ruyi frowned.

“Can’t you tell me?”

Mrs. Ruyi hesitated for a while, and finally leaned close to her ear, and whispered: “The Four Kingdoms are here…”

***

Outside the door, Yifei stared nervously at the small building more than ten feet away, his hands in his sleeves were clenched and loosened, and a thin layer of sweat broke out from his palms.

“Is this a game you set up? To extract the whereabouts of the Four Kingdoms from Mrs. Ruyi’s mouth?”

“right.”

“I don’t understand…is the Four Kingdoms so important?”

Xue Cai also stared at the quiet door, which was closed tightly. No one knew whether Mrs. Ruyi would be fooled, and whether she would tell Qiu Jiang the whereabouts of the Four Kingdoms.

“The Four Kingdoms is not important to you or me. But it is very important to Qiu Jiang and the master.”

“Why?”

“To pay off the debt.”

“What debt to pay?”

“Repay the debt owed by the Ji family.”

Yifei was shocked.

Xue Cai lowered her eyes, looked at the Bai Ze pattern on her sleeve, and remembered what that person said—

“We are all born in the family, but we are burdened by the family, and we are not free all our lives. In front of the family, there is no self, no good and evil, no right and wrong… It can be regarded as the retribution of the Ji family. Once I die, the cancer of the Ji family will finally be cured.” cut off.”

“How?”

“Madam Ruyi’s plan is called ‘Zou Chun’, which means changing the sky and changing the four emperors. My plan is called ‘Return Journey’.”

“Return?”

“Let those who left go back; let the deviations be corrected; let everything return to the original point. Let Cheng Guo become Cheng Guo again, and let Ji family become Ji family again. Let every disciple of Ruyimen get their original names and return to their hometown .”

“It can’t be done!”

“I can’t do it alone, but with the help of many people, many people, even many countries, it is possible.”

“Even if they go back, they won’t be able to return their lost childhood, they won’t be able to forget the pain they’ve suffered, and they won’t be able to wash their murderous hands… Is it meaningful to go back like that?”

“For them, maybe there is, maybe not.” The man raised his eyes, bright eyes like the calm sea under the starlight, full of strength, but full of tenderness, “But to me, it is meaningful.”

So, after that person died, when the time was right, this plan was implemented by Xue Cai.

With the power of the Three Kingdoms, whether you want to kill Mrs. Ruyi or destroy Ruyi Gate, it is actually very easy. However, it is too difficult, too difficult to resettle the 30,000 disciples of the Ruyi Gate, to let them be “humans” again, and to return everything to the original point quietly.

However, among the 900 dead men in Bai Ze, everyone should have a name.

Meng Buli never gave up, and he also had a name.

Shanshui Songzhu Gin wine, the tombstones of those who died should also have their real names.

Xue Cai would often sit in the study in a daze. Occasionally, a maid named Ah Qiu would pass by his window with a naive and ignorant expression. Then he would think: Shall I wake her up?

The return plan, without this person, I’m afraid it would not be possible.

But if she wants to join, she must restore her memory.

But the son didn’t have it back then. The young master once went to Yujing on a rainy night in the third year of Tubi and sneaked up to Yunmeng Mountain. He watched Qiu Jiang who had fallen asleep by the couch for a long time, and finally just covered her with a quilt and left quietly. .

He thought it would be all right with him. He, Pin Congmu, and Yishu, who has become the new king of Cheng, will definitely be able to push Mrs. Ruyi into a desperate situation and get the whereabouts of the Four Kingdoms.

He felt that he still had five years, enough time to complete this matter.

But he didn’t expect that he died on the way back to the city – Wei Yuheng’s archer changed an arrow, and that arrow was poisoned with high grade, so Mr. Bai Ze died in a foreign land.

Pin Congmu didn’t expect this, he didn’t sleep for three days and three nights after he knew about it, and on the fourth day, he came to Xue Cai with red eyes and said, “Wake Ji Hu up.”

Xue Cai disagreed.

Pin Congmu said in a deep voice: “I know you have made a promise to A Ying, but he has forgotten that this is no longer about his siblings, his family, or even one country! If I persist for a few years, I can’t wait for the next leader.”

Since the plan is called the return journey, there is naturally a leader who will lead everyone home. Ji Ying is the guide. Now that Ji Ying is dead, Yi Shu is out of control, and Xue Cai has no other skills, it is impossible to stay in Cheng Guo all year round… Although the world is big, there is indeed no more suitable candidate than Ji Hu.

“First of all, how can we guarantee that Ji Hu’s memory can be awakened? Secondly, how can we ensure that Ji Hu will be ours? Finally, how can we ensure that Ji Hu will be willing to be the guide after recovering his memory? There are too many variables in this , too many variables will lead to failure.”

Pin Congmu laughed, this smile was full of strength and tenderness – it was exactly the same as Ji Ying’s smile: “Xiao Hu is also my disciple. Moreover, as a teacher, compared to A Ying who is always soft-hearted and considerate of the overall situation, I have always I prefer Xiao Hu who is secretive and changeable. I believe she can.”

Xue Cai was silent for a long time.

He’s still not convinced. Until Feng Xiaoya wrote. Feng Xiaoya asked him if his eleventh wife, Qiu Jiang, was hiding in the Bai Ze Mansion.

Xue Cai stared at the letterhead with the totem of the crane combing feathers, his eyes lit up little by little.

Ji suddenly was out of control. Ji Hu, who lost his memory, was even more uncontrollable. However, if Feng Xiaoya joins in, there will be fewer variables.

What’s more, there is Yi Fei.

Yifei wants to return to Cheng Kingdom to seize the throne; Feng Xiaoya wants to help “Qiefu” eradicate the Ruyi Gate and find the lost children over the years; Pin Congmu is waiting for an heir that Mrs. Ruyi will trust; Revenge… strands of strength intertwine and eventually become a strong rope.

Then, tie Qiu Jiang to the other end of the rope and lead her to her destination.

On the day Qiu Jiang and Yi Fei left, Xue Cai had been gazing at their backs from a distance, feeling that the world was really changing. Qiu Jiang was supposed to be the leader, but now, he was being dragged forward.

“I hope—” Xue Cai looked at the rain outside, and said slowly, “After going through so many things along the way, whether or not he can recover his memory, Qiu Jiang will choose to…return with us.”

“We will succeed.” Feng Xiaoya’s voice was low and firm.

***

The koi under the bridge jumped out of the water and spit out a few bubbles.

Yi Fei watched the bubbles float on the water surface for a few times, and he returned to calm. He finally figured out everything—

The Ji family secretly established the Ruyi Gate a hundred years ago, and the successive gate masters of the Ruyi Gate have always been the daughters of the Ji family. This generation of Mrs. Ruyi is cruel and paranoid by nature, and they are more evil than the previous wives, and their ambitions are much greater. She drew up a plan called “Zouchun”, using dark power to replace all the heads of the four countries with hers.

Cheng Guo is Yishu. This plan was completed with the cooperation of Ji Ying. But the reason why Ji Ying chose Yishu was to counter Mrs. Ruyi, but unfortunately he died suddenly, so that he lost control and collapsed later.

The state of Bi is Zhao Yin. With Ji Ying’s death, Zhao Yin is currently controlled by Jiang Chenyu, and the plan has failed.

Yan Guo is Zhang Hua. But Zhanghua saw through her plan, and Pin Congmu teamed up with Yishu to launch ahead of schedule to blow up the Katydite Mountain, and Mrs. Ruyi also failed.

As for Yiguo, there is no change so far, probably because Mrs. Ruyi didn’t have time.

In short, it was a very crazy plan, but it was very close to success at one time. If it is really made by Mrs. Ruyi, what will happen to the Four Congresses and what will happen to Weifang is unimaginable.

Afterwards, Xue Cai set up a scheme to lure Ji Hu, who had lost his memory, to Yunmeng Mountain, and to Baize Mansion for close observation. After confirming that this person was not bad, and after getting Feng Xiaoya’s guarantee, the momentum of Lianyan Bicheng Three Kingdoms officially began. Implement the “return plan”.

Yi Fei, as a chess piece representing Cheng Guo in this plan, embarked on the journey.

He had to be with Qiu Jiang.

He let Qiu Jiang see Cheng Guo’s court disputes, and Qiu Jiang let him see Cheng Guo’s people’s sufferings. They influence each other, change each other, and walk together through ups and downs.

This is Xue Cai’s bet on Yi Fei, and it is also Feng Xiaoya’s bet on Qiu Jiang.

Xue Cai trusted him. And Feng Xiaoya trusts Qiu Jiang.

So in the end, Qiu Jiang recovered her memory and walked back to Mrs. Ruyi.

Next, Pin Congmu appeared and used his own death to pave the way for Qiu Jiang.

When Mrs. Ruyi witnessed the death of her greatest enemy and the death of the disciple who betrayed her, that was when she was most relaxed and vulnerable. Only at this time can the cunning and suspicious Mrs. Ruyi satisfy Qiu Jiang, who is about to die.

Pin Congmu is betting on this moment.

Xue Cai is also betting on this moment.

At this moment, standing on the bridge and trying to understand the whole process, Yi Fei burst into tears.

***

“Where is the spectrum of the Four Kingdoms?”

Madam Ruyi frowned.

“Can’t you tell me?”

Mrs. Ruyi hesitated for a while, and finally leaned close to her ear, and whispered: “The Four Kingdoms are here…”

Qiu Jiang waited with bated breath.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ruyi stopped suddenly, with a look of vigilance in the depths of her eyes.

Qiu Jiang’s heart skipped a beat.

“Do you know what this does?”

Qiu Jiang lowered his eyes to hide the turbulent tension in his heart, and said in a low voice: “When I was training in the holy land, I had a friend. He had eight snails on his hand, and he cherished those eight snails very much. He was looking forward to growing them.” When he grows up, he can use this mark to find his family…”

Madam Ruyi narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Later, my aunt asked him to cooperate with me to go to Nanyan to steal Xie’s family’s Zubin formula. He wanted to pretend to be a distant relative of Xie’s family and needed to compare his fingerprints. What should he do? Before leaving, he put his hand on the stove, Erase those eight snails.” This is the second time Qiu Jiang mentioned this person, the last time, she was talking about Yi Fei.

At that time, Yifei was very sad to hear that. At this moment, Mrs. Ruyi didn’t respond when she heard it.

“So, you want the genealogy of the four countries, and help him find his name?”

“Yes. He died to help me on the southern edge, and I promised him that one day I would tell him who he was.” Qiu Jiang took a few deep breaths, “I don’t want to just go underground to meet him empty-handed. This is my last and only wish…Auntie, please.”

She grabbed Mrs. Ruyi’s hand. Her hands were cold and cold.

This cold feeling dispelled Mrs. Ruyi’s suspicion and suspicion, she finally nodded and said: “Okay. Let me tell you—” As she spoke, Mrs. Ruyi slapped the one who killed Ji Ying and scratched her face. Press the arrow into Qiu Jiang’s heart.

Qiu Jiang suddenly opened his eyes wide.

“The genealogy of the four kingdoms is here…” Mrs. Ruyi pressed hard, and the arrow completely sank into Qiu Jiang’s body, “Pin Congmu’s home.”

Qiu Jiang’s hands trembled, trying to push her away, but he had no strength left. He could only watch the blood gushing out, staining her skirt and Mrs. Ruyi’s hand red.

“I want the Four Kingdoms Genealogy from my eyes. Although I don’t know what he is going to do with it, I am still willing to satisfy him. It is a pity that he didn’t know it until he died. The Four Kingdoms Genealogy was hidden in his home and was given to him early.”

Qiu Jiang made a small sound in her throat. She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t speak the complete words.

“And you, no matter what reason you want to know, I am willing to satisfy you. However, I am old, and there are too many people who have betrayed me along the way. Except for the dead, no one can really convince me. Therefore, I Let your curiosity be fulfilled, and you should also fulfill my suspicion.” Madam Ruyi said, pulling out the arrow again, blood splashed out immediately, and a lot of it splashed onto her face, and she stretched out her hand to wipe it off slowly.

During this process, Qiu Jiang finally lost his breath.

Her eyes were wide open, but lost in expression.

Mrs. Ruyi closed her eyes, leaned down, and kissed her forehead: “Congratulations on your liberation. Be smart in the next life, and don’t be reborn in the Ji family.”

On the small bridge, a koi jumped out of the water again, turned over and died.

Yifei’s heart tightened. Immediately afterwards, he heard Mrs. Ruyi’s exclamation coming from the small building.

Xue Cai’s complexion changed slightly and he said: “Something happened!”

Luo Zi immediately turned around and rushed towards the small building, and Yi Fei also followed.

After the door was knocked open, I saw Madam Ruyi fighting with one person. Both of them moved very quickly, drawing two lines, one green and one black.

Yi Fei saw at a glance that the black line was Feng Xiaoya, and felt a little relieved. He immediately looked for Qiu Jiang everywhere, and finally found her in the corner, but it was a corpse.

Yifei suddenly felt his brain go blank, and even his heartbeat almost stopped.

Seeing this scene, Luo Zi hurriedly shouted: “Yu Guan! Yu Guan—”

Jiang Wanyi doesn’t know martial arts, so he arrived at this time, and hurriedly opened the medicine box to rescue Qiu Jiang.

Over there, Mrs. Ruyi knocked Feng Xiaoya back with a palm, and said angrily: “You really joined forces to lie to me!”

Luo Ziyan said: “I remember when I was getting started, the first lesson Madam taught was ‘deception’. Madam teaches people to deceive, so you must be prepared to be deceived.”

Mrs. Ruyi rushed towards her immediately, but was intercepted by Xue Cai.

Mrs. Ruyi sneered, “It’s up to you?”

Xue Cai raised her sleeves and swished an arrow. Mrs. Ruyi immediately bent down and flipped several times in the air before narrowly avoiding the arrow. When she landed again, her hair was in a mess.
