Xiao Chengyi was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the man behind the curtain, and then his eyes fell on a painting hanging on the wall behind him.
Even through a curtain, you can see that the dazzling red color in the painting is the flower of the other side. It is said that this is the flower that blooms on Huangquan Road.
Flowers bloom for a thousand years, flowers fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves never see each other.
Perhaps because of this painting, Xiao Chengyi felt a sense of sadness in the high priest. He looked away and said in a faint voice: "I understand."
After leaving these words, Xiao Chengyi turned around and walked out.
It wasn't until he left the high priest's house that Ye Xiuchen realized in a daze: "Am I understanding correctly? Your uncle's poisoning was arranged by the high priest himself? He did this just to lure you to southern Xinjiang so that you can help him.
Seize the throne?”
Xiao Chengyi glanced at him and smiled: "Things are not that simple."
"What's the meaning?"
Ye Xiuchen really felt that his brain was no longer enough. Isn't that what he meant after listening to the conversation between Xiao Chengyi and the high priest for a long time?
Xiao Chengyi did not reply to his words, but stopped and looked back at the high priest's palace and said: "You are only looking at the appearance. The high priest's true intention..."
He paused, but did not continue.
Ye Xiuchen frowned and said anxiously: "What is it, you should tell me."
Xiao Chengyi's eyebrows moved, he glanced at him and said, "You can guess for yourself."
Ye Xiuchen: "..."
He felt that if he made friends with Xiao Chengyi, he would easily crush him. He thought he was also a smart person, but he was nothing in front of Xiao Chengyi.
Ye Xiuchen shook his head, caught up with Xiao Chengyi and said, "I can definitely guess it, just wait and see."
Xiao Chengyi pursed his lips and smiled, then heard a pleasant sound of bells coming from the street.
He stopped and looked around and saw a girl wearing a red mask riding a horse on the street, walking towards him.
There was a golden bell hanging on the girl's ankle, and the golden bell made a crisp sound as she moved. However, the girl had her face covered and couldn't see her face clearly, but the pair of eyes exposed were extremely beautiful.
And there is a flower patch on her forehead, which is very eye-catching.
The girl rode past Xiao Chengyi, but she didn't know what she saw. She suddenly pulled the reins and stopped, looking at Xiao Chengyi.
Xiao Chengyi looked at her frankly, and saw the girl pointing at the concentric bell hanging on his waist and asking: "Can you show me this thing?"
Xiao Chengyi nodded, then untied the small bell hanging on the jade pendant and handed it to her.
After the girl took it, she fiddled with the bell with her fingers. Miraculously, the bell rang. You must know that these concentric bells never make any sound unless the other party shakes them.
The girl returned the bell to Xiao Chengyi and said, "It was well raised. Is the other one on your wife's body?"
When Xiao Chengyi heard the title "Madam", he had a subtle feeling in his heart. After getting married, wouldn't his Yan Yan be his wife?
He reached out to take the bell and replied with a smile: "It's on my wife."
The girl's eyebrows curved and she said firmly: "Then you must love each other very much. This concentric poison relies on the mutual affection between the people who love each other to survive.
Only when the minds are connected can the concentric Gu make a sound. If it is placed on someone who does not love each other, the bell will not ring. This is the first time I have heard such a clear sound."
Xiao Chengyi was a little surprised when he heard this. In fact, he didn't know what Gu insects relied on to survive before, but now he knew it after hearing this girl's explanation.
