In the corner of the backyard, Gong Yaozu looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, thoughtfully, then he curled his lips and smiled, opened the medicine bottle without hesitation, and poured out a pill as dark as ink.
The surface of the pill shone with dark purple light. Gong Yaozu stuffed the Ghost Eye Poison Pill into his mouth, threw away the bottle, and returned to the banquet without making a sound.
Gong Yaozu sat down behind Qing Ge, his sword still placed on the table.
Gong Yaozu drank one cup after another, his eyes red and full of tears.
Gong Yaozu widened his eyes and tried not to let tears flow out.
Every time I drink a glass of wine, I think of the sweetness of being with Yue Yingzi.
He was once a man with a family, with many wives and concubines, and countless maids. He was in the prime of life, a mighty general, and his needs in certain aspects were even greater.
However, when he met Yue Yingzi, he abandoned everything, including his wife and concubines, and only fell in love with Yue Yingzi.
Because he knew the dangers of working for the Qin family, he planned to retire in a few years and travel around the world with Yue Yingzi. However, something unexpected happened.
His Sakura, the treasure he protected in his arms, died so miserably.
He, Chen Lin, dares too!
He has been fighting for the Qin family for more than ten years, but he can't even protect his lover!
As the wine got stronger, Gong Yaozu's face turned as red as pig liver.
Ye Qingge, who was sitting back to back with him, drank peach blossom wine elegantly and chatted happily with Yin Liangcha and others. Distinguished guests who came into Liu's new residence would bow to her first and then go to their own rooms.
seats.
Qing Ge lowered his eyes and looked towards Lin Chong. Lin Chong grinned at Qing Ge and patted his chest solemnly.
Qingge sneered coldly.
Because the auspicious time has not yet arrived, the Beiyue Dynasty has an unwritten rule. Before the auspicious time, guests must listen to more festive operas.
The stage has been set up a long time ago, and the actors with thick makeup on their faces, red lips and white teeth, are dressed in bright red clothes, and have all kinds of hairpins in their hair.
Then I saw her walking up to the stage, shaking her sleeves, walking around the stage, and singing: "You were born before I was born, and I was already old when I gave birth to you; you hate that I was born late, but I hate that you were born early;
Hate does not arise at the same time, but I am good to you every day; I am far away from you, but you are separated from me by the corner of the sea; I turn into a butterfly to find flowers, and roost on the fragrant grass every night."
When Gong Yaozu heard the opera, his eyes tightened and he wanted to spit out fire.
Yue Yingzi once wrote a letter to him, saying that this gentleman was born before I was born. Yue Yingzi often teased him and said that the general is old.
He is more than twenty years older than Yue Yingzi. Although it is nothing in this era, Yue Yingzi always hopes to be as old as him.
She said that in this case, she could die with the general.
But now, she died first.
Gong Yaozu closed his eyes, lowered his head, and quietly wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes.
The opera on the stage was the last straw that broke Gong Yaozu's life.
When Qing Ge lifted up the luminous cup filled with peach blossom wine with deep eyes, Gong Yaozu suddenly stood up, holding a knife, and walked to Chen Lin's table.
Qin Kui looked at Gong Yaozu, feeling very unhappy and frowning.
Gong Yaozu was haggard and depressed, his hair was scattered, he smelled of alcohol, and he didn't look like a general at all.
Bang——
Gong Yaozu suddenly knelt in front of Qin Kui, "Elder Qin, Yaozu is at fault."
The guests around him all looked at this place curiously.
Chen Lin glanced around, and everyone immediately sat upright and stopped looking around.
"What do you mean?" Qin Kui asked impatiently.
"If I hand over Huangji Tianyan, will the elder really spare my life?" Gong Yaozu asked sincerely.
Hearing this, Qin Kui's eyes shone, and his face finally showed a hint of joy. The dark clouds of the past few days cleared away. He stood up and helped Gong Yaozu up, "I keep my promise, how can I break my promise?"
"In that case, after the banquet is over, I will go get the Huangji Tianyan."
Gong Yaozu pursed his lips and his eyes were slightly red, "Elder Qin, I was also distracted for a while. Now that I have found my way back, please don't take it to heart."
"Recognizing mistakes can make a lot of improvements, Yaozu, you will still be the Qin family's great assistant in the future." Qin Kui lowered his voice and said.
"The elder has a compassionate heart." Gong Yaozu said.
"Come, sit down." Qin Kui smiled, a murderous intent flashing deep in his eyes.
If you dare to tease Qin Kui, you must be prepared to die.
Of course, Qin Kui also knew that he could not be harsh. If Gong Yaozu did not tell the whereabouts of Huangji Tianyan, even cutting Gong Yaozu into pieces would not be the solution.
Gong Yaozu sat down next to Qin Kui, with Chen Lin on his right.
Gong Yaozu put the knife on the table, poured a glass of wine, and greeted Chen Lin: "Sir Chen Lin, I have offended you many times before, but I still hope to see Haihan."
Chen Lin looked at Gong Yaozu suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong with Gong Yaozu.
However, under Qin Kui's gaze, Chen Lin did not dare to mess around. She raised her wine glass, touched it, and laughed: "What? You don't hate me for killing your sweetheart?"
"It's just a woman. If she dies, she will die. There are so many women in the world, why is she missing Yue Yingzi?" Gong Yaozu said with a smile.
Chen Lin frowned, a little suspicious, but then felt relieved and said: "A manly man, General Gong has a good temperament."
"Elder Qin, the place where Huangji Tianyan is hidden is somewhat secretive. How about asking Master Chen Lin to go with me?" Gong Yaozu said.
Qin Kui thought for a moment, then nodded, "That's fine."
It would be a good thing if Huangji Tianyan could be found.
"Where is Huangji Tianyan?" Chen Lin asked.
"It's in the Liu Mansion."
"Liu Mansion?"
Chen Lin, Qin Kui and others were all extremely shocked.
Gong Yaozu smiled and said: "The most dangerous place is the safest."
Hearing this, everyone else believed it.
"Since you are still singing opera now and you have a lot of time, Master Chen Lin, please come with me," Gong Yaozu said.
"I'll go there too."
The man who spoke was one of the two sword spiritual masters and Chen Lin's fiancé.
"Just let the two of them go, don't make too much noise." Qin Kui said.
"Sister Chen..."
The man looked at Gong Yaozu and then at Chen Lin, feeling a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I go. Huangji Tianyan was lost because of me, so I should be the one to get it back. It's in the Liu Mansion. Are you worried that I'm in danger?"
It's not that Chen Lin is confident, but that Gong Yaozu is just a one-sword spiritual master. She is a two-sword spiritual master. Can Gong Yaozu still attack her?
Because of Huangji Tianyan, she broke off a piece of her little finger and suffered Qin Kui's anger. Now, she has to get it back alone.
That's her pride.
"Master Chen Lin, please!" Gong Yaozu said.
While speaking, Gong Yaozu subconsciously picked up the knife on the table.
"Wait a minute." Chen Lin's fiancé said, "I'm just going to get Huangji Tianyan. Do I need to bring a knife?"
Gong Yaozu frowned and said in distress: "If you don't like it, then I won't take it with you."
Qin Kui glanced at him and said: "Yaozu's sword never leaves his body, why make such a fuss?"
Qin Kui opened his mouth, and the man stopped blocking him.
"Yaozu, take the sword," Qin Kui said kindly.
He must show that he trusts Gong Yaozu, so that Gong Yaozu will put down his guard and obediently take out Huangji Tianyan.
Gong Yaozu nodded, put on the knife, and then led the way, with Chen Lin following behind.
