The horse galloped across the river valley and arrived at the small town in the center within a short time.

Dongfang Liren dismounted in the street, ignored the guards and soldiers who were looking around, and followed Niaoniao to the outside of the inn where the flag of the Hongshan Gang was hanging.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the charcoal-red horse in the stable. Dongfang Li could no longer suppress the longing and eagerness in his heart. Perhaps he wanted to surprise the Night Terror Hall, so he raised his hand to signal that the birds should be silent, and then he entered softly.

Inn, arrived at the second floor.

The small town of Wangheya is a gang industry, and most of the people who come and go are escorts or caravans. Not many people are willing to spend money to live in a house. There are six rooms on the second floor, five of which are empty, and only one door has a light.

Light up.

Seeing this, Dongfang Liren used his secret skills such as Listening to the Wind Palm and Ming Shen Tu to see what the Night Terror Hall was doing. As soon as he went upstairs, he heard the sound of splashing water coming from the room, but there was another footsteps walking around.

.

Two people?

Dongfang Liren realized something was wrong, frowned slightly, and quietly moved to the door, trying to listen to who was inside.

But her Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu was no match for the Martial Saint. Before she even got close to the door, a voice came from in front of her:

Squeak——

The wooden door opened directly, and the dim light in the room, as well as the handsome young man in black robe, appeared directly within easy reach.

Ye Jingtang just heard the sound of subtle footsteps approaching. When he opened the door, he found a big guy in a white scholar's robe. His eyes were naturally surprised:

"Your Highness? Why are you here so quickly?"

Dongfang Liren reacted very quickly and quickly stood up straight with his head held high. Although he was not wearing a python skirt, his aura of calmness and self-confidence was still displayed, and he explained casually:

"I met a bird on the road and came over to take a look. It has just arrived."

As he spoke, Dongfang Liren pushed away Ye Jingtang's hand holding the door and took a look inside.

The result is incredible.

On the bed at the back of the room, I saw a familiar scholarly beauty sitting upright, with long black hair hanging down her back, her cheeks were moist and shiny, and her white and traceless bare feet were soaked in the basin.

He looked like he was getting ready to sleep.

Maybe he didn't expect that she would make a sudden ward check, but the other party's red lips were slightly parted and he looked at her nervously, as if he had been caught in bed.

Hua Qingzhi?!

Dongfang Liren was shocked. Although she had already guessed that if Ye Jingtang sent Hua Qingzhi home, there would be a high probability that they would be disconnected, but she never expected that Hua Qingzhi would not even leave, but would just turn around and come back.

Depending on the situation, they may even live together...

So wouldn't this trip to the West Sea be like traveling with her boyfriend behind her back as the real owner?

And you dare to follow me here?

Dongfang Liren's eyes darkened, and he turned to look at his lover who was very close at hand!

"Well……"

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Ye Jingtang's smile froze. He wanted to open his mouth to explain a few words, but was stopped by Big Benben raising his hand.

As a doctor, Dongfang Liren was shocked, but she still had to maintain her proper bearing. After glancing at Ye Jingtang, she slowly came to the table and sat down, looking at Hua Qingzhi who was a little nervous:

"Miss Hua is here too? But Night Terror Hall didn't send you home? If so, just tell me, I will help you take care of him."

Hua Qingzhi was soaking her feet when she found out that the empress of the palace had arrived, so naturally she felt a little panicked.

If it were in the past, Hua Qingzhi would have a clear conscience and not be afraid, but she had kissed her all night, and the relationship between the two was already ambiguous, and now a man and a woman were alone in the same room...

Isn't this being caught in bed?

Seeing the Queen's tepid questioning, Hua Qingzhi tried her best to keep a calm expression:

"Thanks to His Highness's concern, Mr. Ye sent me to my father, but... Xue Baijin scrawled in a book at home, saying that I had eloped with someone, and the news had spread. My reputation has been ruined, and it is not appropriate to go back now, so my father will

Let Mr. Ye take care of me for a while, and then I can choose an opportunity to return to my hometown..."

"oh."

Dongfang Liren nodded thoughtfully, then looked towards the Night Terror Hall:

"Is this how you take care of Miss Hua? Are you running around in the open air in a restaurant, and are you dragging a young lady who is 'powerless' with you?"

Seeing this, Hua Qingzhi explained:

"I came out this time to serve as a staff member for Mr. Ye. Originally, Mr. Ye wanted to ask His Highness for advice, but there are some things that His Highness may not understand..."

"cough……"

Ye Jingtang came to the table and sat down. He wanted to help Benben pour tea. He coughed when he heard these words and wanted to remind Hua Qingzhi to speak tactfully, but it was obviously too late.

Dongfang Liren, who had always been arrogant, felt the smell of gunpowder when he heard the words "Your Highness may not understand", and looked at Hua Qingzhi again:

"Really? Although Miss Hua is very knowledgeable, I have read a lot of books. I don't know anything about anything. I can only ask Miss Hua for advice."

"Master Ye came here this time to find the stone tablet left by the First Emperor. The stone tablet should be written in ancient Liang script. Does your Highness also know this way?"

Ancient Liangwen...

Dongfang Liren blinked his eyes, his head held high and his aura slightly weakened, but after thinking about it he still said:

"My ancestors from the Dongfang family are Nanrong, and their ancestral home is more than 300 miles north of Langxuan City. The writing is the same as that of Langrong, the ancestor of the Wuma tribe, and has nothing to do with the ancient Liang Dynasty. However, Master Xu from the Imperial Academy is proficient in ancient Liang literature.

, I have read the classics in the past years and asked for advice several times, so I have a little knowledge. Judging from the surname, Miss Hua’s ancestors should have come from the Li country at that time, and they also know this?"

Hua Qingzhi guessed that the Queen would not learn such an unfamiliar thing out of nowhere, and she was immediately determined and her momentum increased:

"I studied at the Imperial Academy before and am familiar with ancient Liang classics. If not for this, Lord Ye would not have taken me with him."

Dongfang Liren saw that Hua Qingzhi had a confident reason, so naturally he didn't know what to say. He picked up the teacup and drank tea without saying anything.

Ye Jingtang sat in front of him. Seeing Benben stopped talking, he raised his hand and took out a three-foot long strip wrapped in black cloth from the bag he was carrying:

"Give."

"..."

Dongfang Liren felt that the atmosphere was awkward and wanted to get up and go back to the room to ignore Ye Jingtang. When she found that Ye Jingtang handed her something, she frowned slightly:

"What's this?"

"This time I went to Xihai to find a gift for His Highness. Open it and take a look."

"..."

When Dongfang Liren heard that it was a gift, and it was obviously a weapon, his unhappy face suddenly changed. He coughed lightly, took it slowly, and looked at it by the candlelight.

As the black cloth of the package was untied, a golden light suddenly appeared in the room, illuminating Dongfang Liren's fair cheeks.

The three-foot sword blade and the ancient cloud patterns caught his eye, and Dongfang Liren's calm expression immediately turned into surprise, and he stood up:

"Emperor's Sword?!"

"Shhhhh..."

Ye Jingtang quickly raised his hand and held Benben down:

"Don't be excited. This is the weapon of the First Emperor. It is the most powerful sword in history. If you get it, you can rule the world and unify the world. I don't know how many heroes are greedy. What should I do if people hear it..."

Seeing this, Dongfang Liren quickly stopped talking, sat down again, and looked at it carefully.

Dongfang Liren is very martial, and his greatest hobby in life is to collect famous weapons, but he still wouldn't dare to think about the 'Emperor Sword', which is recognized as the number one magic weapon.

At this time, he suddenly got it in his hand. Dongfang Liren was obviously a little excited. He even thought about how to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for money to build a large-scale construction project and build a sword pavilion in the palace to offer the sword.

I'm afraid I'll have to build a nine-story tower...

Ye Jingtang saw Benben biting his lower lip, as happy as a bird bobbing his head, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth:

"like or not?"

How could Dongfang Liren not like it? She didn't even want to listen to Ye Jingtang's words. However, it was obviously inappropriate for her lover to give him something and she didn't react at all. Then she turned her head and smacked Ye Jingtang's face twice:

"You have a conscience..."

Before he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent.

Hua Qingzhi sat obediently on the bed, with her feet soaked in the footbath. She watched the noble Queen transform into a little girl who was as if she had found a treasure, and even shyly kissed her in the night. Her eyes were a bit embarrassing.

, I feel like I shouldn’t be here.

When Dongfang Liren saw the Tianzi Sword, he forgot about Hua Qingzhi. After kissing him twice, he remembered that there was someone next to him. His expression froze slightly, and he quickly regained the Queen's attitude of holding his head high and chest high, but his cheeks were swollen.

Hong couldn't hold it back any longer, so in the end she could only quietly wrap up the sword, turn around and leave.

Seeing Benben in Ye Jingtang, he was so happy that he got carried away. Naturally, he also felt a sense of accomplishment. He got up and came to the bed and picked up the basin:

"I'm going to pour the water. If you need anything, call me anytime."

Hua Qingzhi was actually quite scared to live alone, but now she dared to keep Ye Jingtang and not let her go. The Queen was afraid that she would have to turn around and slash her with a sword, so she nodded lightly at that moment.

Ye Jingtang went out with the basin in his hand. When he saw Benben stomping his feet awkwardly outside the door, he couldn't help but laugh:

"hehe……"

Sa——
