The county guard was sitting in Wenxing Pavilion when a conflict suddenly broke out outside. However, in an instant, a large group of officers and soldiers arrived and captured the two unconscious thieves.

After Ye Jingtang saw this scene from a distance, he did not stay any longer and followed Yuhu up and down among the buildings before returning to the Duke's Mansion.

It had just fallen into the night, and the lights in the Duke's Mansion were still bright. In the guest house where he stayed, there was no trace of Miss Fan, and Shui'er didn't stay in the room either.

Night Terror Hall fell in the courtyard, put away the oil-paper umbrella under the eaves, and saw that the car in the main room was missing, so he said:

"The Queen Mother was just supposed to... eh eh eh?!!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a pulling force from behind.

After the empress landed under the eaves, she was like a daughter-in-law who was angry outside but could not get angry. Her soft eyes turned cold. She raised her hand and grabbed the back of Ye Jingtang's belt, pulled him into the house, closed the door with her feet, and then

Just press hard.

Bang~

Choking——

Ye Jingtang was pressed against the door of the room. A cold light flashed before his eyes, and the Chilong Sword was in front of him. He quickly raised his hand:

"No, no, no, please tell me if you have something to say..."

The empress held the knife in her right hand and pressed her chest with her left hand. Her eyes were very unkind and she said coldly:

"What is your relationship with that Jianghu woman just now?"

Ye Jingtang felt that the lady's tone sounded like she was jealous, so she raised her hand slightly to signal for peace of mind:

"We just met each other a few times."

The empress slightly raised the Chilong Saber and said in a deep voice:

"You still dare to quibble? With people with such amazing martial arts skills, the entire Wei Dynasty will not be more than one hand. The others are all old men, but the leader of Pingtian has never shown his true face. Don't say that you are the third among the eight leaders in the capital.

, I still can’t guess who she is.”

Ye Jingtang knew that the leader of Pingtian had taken action, and Yuhu could see the clues. He said calmly:

"I can't beat her, guess what I can do to her?"

The empress knew that Ye Jingtang could not do anything to Master Pingtian, but she was just curious about their relationship and asked again:

"She is also the confidante you met in Jianghu?"

?

Ye Jingtang was really innocent this time: "How could she be a confidante? The last time I asked Jiang Zahu for the Golden Scale Picture in Huangmingshan, I was surrounded by people led by King Zuo Xian. She happened to be passing by and helped fight off

After seeing King Zuo Xian, I only had contact with her once or twice..."

The empress nodded slightly, thought for a while and said:

"She helped her, so she was kind to you. How are you going to repay your kindness? Help her restore the former dynasty, or are you going to pledge yourself to her?"

Ye Jingtang shook his head and said: "How is it possible? I am the emperor who personally granted me the title of Duke Wu'an, or I am the orphan of the northwest royal court. I have been echoed by all the tribes in the West Sea. What did they want for me before the Pingtian Sect was restored? Afterwards, I was granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom.

Or Wang with a different surname?"

The empress gave Ye Jingtang an unusual reward because she was afraid that he would be left out and return to the Western Sea tribes to become the local emperor. Ye Jingtang didn't even want King Tianlang, who had soldiers and land, so it was obviously impossible for him to set his sights on the tiny land of Nanxiao Mountain.

.

For this reason the empress asked again:

"Then he is the one who has fallen in love with her and wants to commit himself to her?"

Ye Jingtang was also helpless: "She has always been wearing a mask. I have never even seen her true face. Who can I like her? No matter how good-looking she is, can she be as good-looking as you? Or is her status higher than you?"

?

The empress was stunned. Seeing that Ye Jingtang dared to tease her, she moved closer and pressed her lips to her earlobe:

"I'm not afraid of putting a knife to my neck. Do you think I'm flirting with you?"

Because the skirt of the clothes is already huge, so it is basically close to the chest.

Ye Jingtang was pressed against the door and raised his hand slightly:

"No. She and I really have nothing to do with each other. We got to know each other, and I also had the idea of ​​​​recruiting the Anping Tianjiao. Although I don't care about fame, wealth and status, I don't want to watch the world go into chaos and fight. As the deputy commander of the Black Yamen, I recruit people from all over the world.

It is also a matter of duty for the imperial court to use it..."

Ye Jingtang is telling the truth. Ning'er and Xiao Yunli are both members of the Pingtian Sect. It is impossible for him to watch these two girls who get along day and night and follow the leader of the Pingtian Sect to commit suicide. For this reason, after becoming the number one person in the world under the mountain,

, his first priority must be to solve this matter. And the only way to solve it is to recruit people, after all, he can't kill Xue Baijin.

The empress was saved by Ye Jingtang at the risk of her life, and she also knew how much hard work and hard work Ye Jingtang had made in the past six months. She had no doubts in her heart, but she was just wondering how Ye Jingtang got together with the leader of Pingtian.

After listening to Ye Jingtang's explanation, the empress felt that the credibility was quite high, so she didn't go into details further. She put the knife back into the scabbard with a flick of her wrist, turned around and sat down next to the chair:

"The biggest condition that the imperial court can give is the Marquis of Zhennan. Xue Baijin, as the overlord of the martial arts under the mountain, does not like this reward. Taking root in Nanxiao Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the imperial court is also difficult to fight. It will be difficult to make her surrender. If you have

The best chance is to capture her. When the time comes, I will intercede with the Holy Lord and not punish her, and the reward she deserves will also be given to her."

Seeing that Yuhu had returned to normal, Ye Jingtang secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

"I do think so, but only if I can survive the fight. If I catch him now, I might be taken back to Nanxiao Mountain as a prisoner."

The empress knew that it would be difficult for Ye Jing Hall to accomplish this matter at the moment, so she did not try to embarrass him. After all, the court did not just come to the Ye Jing Hall for a master. She raised her hand to pour a glass of water and said casually:

"Okay, you go and rest first. You still owe me a poem. Think about it and remember to send it to me."

Ye Jingtang also wanted to see if Ning'er was here, so he didn't say anything more at the moment and left the room after saying goodbye.

Ta Ta ~

The steps are getting farther and farther.

The empress held the tea cup and gently rubbed the rim with the cup lid until the sound of footsteps disappeared, then she paused slightly and her expression returned to the calm and restrained look of sitting in the Golden Palace.

Da~

After putting down the tea cup, the empress got up and went to the back room and opened her suitcase.

In addition to the dazzling bellyband, shorts and shorts, there were three long boxes underneath, which contained a knife, a sword and a pair of maces. Ma Shan Taichang did not bring them with him.

The empress opened the wooden box, picked up the sword, looked at it for a few times, thought about it for a while, and finally picked up two heavy dark gold maces.

The mace is a solid weapon that has been refined for a long time. It is a perfect weapon and cannot be used by those who are not upright and righteous. These two unicorn maces were made from meteorite iron by Taizu Yan of the previous dynasty, and they can be regarded as weapons to control the country. It is a pity that the last descendant of the Yan Gong Emperor, and

Without remembering the teachings of his ancestors, he was neither upright nor righteous, so this trump card fell into the hands of the empress.

After observing for a few times, the empress closed the wooden box, sat down in front of the couch, and wiped it slowly with a handkerchief.

And the night rain outside the window gradually became heavier...

——

The rain is falling.

In the alleyway outside Yuanqing Escort Bureau, a blue oil-paper umbrella quietly arrived and stopped outside the white wall.

Luo Ning stood under the umbrella, looking at the high wall. Because she had just washed her face carefully, her cool cheeks looked as smooth as a baby's, her red lips were not bright in color, but very soft, and her long blue dress was also very decent, obviously carefully thought out.

Prepared.

Luo Ning arrived at Jiangzhou City this afternoon. Because she knew where the Yuanqing Escort Agency was, she was planning to come directly. However, when she was taking a shower, she discovered that the little thief who was not stopping anywhere went to Yan Street to fight again.

.

Bai Jin showed up. Because there were many people around, Luo Ning couldn't run there anymore. After Bai Jin came back, she went out alone and ran here.

At this time, I listened carefully and could hear a soft voice coming from behind the white wall:

"Miss, it's raining so heavily, and you still run out..."

"I heard there was a fight over there on Yan Street, so I went over to take a look..."

…

The sound came from far away and soon came to the side door in the alley.

Luo Ning's eyes were slightly cold, and she put on a serious look like a master's wife. She turned to the side door and waited quietly.

Squeak——

Soon, the side door opened, and Xiao Yunli got out of it. She was dressed as a scholarly lady in an underskirt, holding a flower umbrella in her hand. She turned around and wanted to run to the street, but she only took two steps.

He suddenly paused and his expression became slightly stiff.

"Miss, you...eh?"

Ping'er ran out immediately after and saw the beauty in green standing in the alley. She was slightly stunned, then she quickly put away her umbrella, returned to the eaves of the back door, and said:

"Madam, why are you back? The lady insisted on running out, I pulled her..."

When Zhe Yunli saw Ping'er's seller begging for glory, his face turned dark and he quickly turned around:

"What are you talking about? I'm just walking around..."

Luo Ning maintained her cool temperament and came to Yunli holding an umbrella, frowning and asking:

"It's late at night, and it's raining heavily. Are you still running out? Have you finished copying today's books?"
To be continued...
