Chapter 41 Piranha

Qi Yunfeng was really worried about Tang Xinyue walking alone at night, but he had to enter the space.

"It's okay, listen to me, just have a good rest at night." Tang Xinyue said calmly.

After all, she was an invincible warrior in her previous life, and she had the power of teleportation, so walking at night was nothing to her.

With a wave of his hand, Qi Yunfeng entered the space.

After leaving the Lin family, Tang Xinyue's figure disappeared under the night in the blink of an eye, and then appeared in the farthest bright moon, falling lightly, and then appeared in the farther moon.

His lightning-fast figure, like an elf in the dark night, makes the branches behind him rush to worship him.

Finally, just before dawn, she successfully arrived at the entrance of Shiwan Mountain.

Looking around, there is a road leading straight into the mountains, and on both sides of the road are rolling mountains.

Lin Deyuan said that the sinkhole is at the northernmost part of Shiwanda Mountain.

The rolling mountains stretched for who knows how many miles. Tang Xinyue once again seized the time and quickly disappeared in place.

When the mountains blocking the view finally appeared in a relatively open area, the sinkhole finally arrived.

The morning sun rises slowly from between the two towering mountains, and the sunlight pours little by little on the tiankeng.

The part that is not covered by the sun is dark and bottomless.

In the space, the third brother was still sleeping, but Qi Yunfeng woke up early, made breakfast, and was waiting for Tang Xinyue to enjoy it together.

When Tang Xinyue appeared in the space, Qi Yunfeng, who had been sitting there all night, stood up to greet her, "You must be exhausted. Come sit down and rest for a while."

This was nothing to Tang Xinyue. In her previous life, she had experienced missions many times more difficult than this.

But getting a word of concern was something she had never seen in her previous life, which made her unable to answer the question for a while.

She looked at Qi Yunfeng intently and tried her best to smile, "It's nothing if you're not tired."

By the time the two of them finished their breakfast, the third brother was almost awake, so Tang Xinyue packed some breakfast and took them out of the space.

As soon as he came out, he saw the towering mountains all around and a huge sinkhole in the center. Qi Yunfeng, who was well-informed, was still shocked.

Ahem... Third brother woke up.

After Tang Xinyue's supernatural powers and the conditioning of the intelligent medical device, he was almost healed.

"Third brother..." Qi Yunfeng shouted with a choked voice.

"Seventh brother..." Qi Yunyi, who was lying on his back, sat up when his distracted eyes focused.

The two brothers hugged each other and cried.

It turned out that when the enemy forced them onto the cliff, all seven of their father and brother chose to jump to the bottom of the cliff.

However, there happened to be a fast-flowing river at the bottom of the cliff, forming a waterfall not far away, and the father and son happened to be scattered.

Beijing believed that if they jumped from such a height and encountered such a dangerous waterfall, the seven father and son would definitely die.

Therefore, even if the bodies of the Qi family were not found, they despicably used fake corpses to hang at the checkpoint in order to claim credit and shock them.

Qi Yunyi only remembered that he was rescued from the water, but could not remember anything after that.

When he woke up again, he saw Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue.

At this time, Tang Xinyue immediately thought whether the Seven-Colored Glazed Pagoda mentioned by Fentian was just a legend and she had mistakenly assumed it.

But one thing is right, that is, father and brother are both alive in the world.

After taking a look at the sinkhole, she quickly sat down, closed her eyes, released her mental power, and slowly stretched downwards with the help of various flowers, plants and trees, all the way to the bottom of the sinkhole.

There was nothing but darkness down there. Even the white bones she was thinking about were not seen at all.

Weird, it shouldn't be!

Tang Xinyue decided to explore further underground. Finally, she found a strange red flower that exuded a corpse smell and could quickly emerge from the ground.

It turned out that the corpses in the sinkhole were all feeding the flower.

Angry, Tang Xinyue immediately pulled the roots of flowers and trees, entangled the flowers, and tore them to pieces.

Then, she opened her eyes and said to Qi Yunfeng, who was paying close attention to her, "Take your third brother and wait for me behind the mountain."

Her solemn expression made Qi Yunfeng take the third brother away without asking any questions.

After they disappeared from sight, Tang Xinyue made a lifting motion with her hands. As she exerted force, a hill opposite moved.

She quickly stood up and teleported herself to the farthest point. The hill also moved forward as she retreated.

With a sudden downward movement of both hands, the hill fell into the sinkhole with a bang, half of the top of the mountain was exposed, and dust filled the sky.

When the dust settled, the raised mountain top was gone, and the original sinkhole turned into flat land.

If a stranger passed by, he would never know that this place used to be a huge sinkhole.

The brothers of the Qi family in the distance heard the rumbling and hurried back.

Looking at the dust flying around, Qi Yunfeng felt as if his heart had been shattered by the mountain, and he froze in place.

When he saw Tang Xinyue safe and sound, he excitedly stepped forward and hugged him.

Just now, he thought he would lose her forever.

Tang Xinyue, who looked confused, pushed him away naturally, "Third brother is watching."

Qi Yunfeng, who felt a little out of sorts, quickly let go of her, "Fortunately, don't do such dangerous things in the future."

A big mountain was uprooted by her. What kind of power is this?

The two stood opposite each other, staring at each other.

Against the background of the surrounding mountains, Tang Xinyue was really small in Qi Yunfeng's eyes. But this small body actually has more power than the majestic mountains.

In addition to being shocked, he was more appreciative, and also had a hint of inexplicable worry and distress.

Tang Xinyue smiled faintly, but there was an inexplicable sweetness in her heart.

Qi Yunyi, who had already turned his back, looked at the long white clouds in the distance, sighing that he survived the disaster and was still alive. He would see his mother and wife soon. How good it was!

At the same time, in a remote courtyard somewhere in the capital, a woman dressed in black and wearing a black veil was drinking tea when she suddenly crushed the teacup in her hand.

"Who, who, actually destroyed my piranha?"

The angry roar echoed in the house, causing the bluebirds that were pecking on the windowsill to flee in fear.

This piranha has taken rooting, sprouting, and blooming for thousands of years. It was only half a year before it could be picked, but it was destroyed by someone.

She stood up, her graceful figure immediately appeared, swayed to the window, looked at the direction of the blue bird flying away, and let out a hysterical cry, "You wait for me, I must let you break your bones and ashes."

After a long time, her expression turned from ferocious to sad, and she murmured to herself, "Is this really against the laws of nature?"

He seemed to be suddenly excited by something, "No, I haven't taken the souls of 300,000 living people. This is not against the laws of nature. Since that person can destroy the piranha, he must be an expert and can definitely help me." "

At this time, the woman looked a little crazy, but her eyes had an unprecedented brightness.

Chapter 42 Suspicious Person

Tang Xinyue, who was looking at Qi Yunfeng, suddenly felt a gloomy cold air coming from the direction of the capital. She immediately looked over there, but found nothing.

She shrugged and said, "Let's go, we have to find three horses first."

The third brother was awake and couldn't teleport like when he came, so they had no choice but to ride back.

At this time, a rhythmic sound of horse hooves came.

It turned out that the previous huge noise attracted the attention of a village living nearby. They rode over and found that the sinkhole had been leveled and there were three outsiders.

Just when they were furious and wanted to launch an attack, a black-faced man suddenly said, "Third brother, isn't that third brother?"

Qi Yunyi saw that they were talking about him and immediately stepped forward, "Everyone, did I live with you before?"

The man quickly dismounted, "Third brother, have you forgotten that you led our Black Village to defeat those two villages?"

Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue stepped forward and after introducing each other, they finally understood the whole story.

It turned out that more than two years ago, the third brother, like the sixth brother, lost his memory after falling off a cliff. After being rescued, he came to the territory of Heifeng Village.

The original residents of Shiwanda Mountain are very xenophobic, and the third brother was charged as soon as he arrived.

It happened that another copycat was attacking, so everyone ignored the third brother and went to kill the enemy.

As a soldier's instinct, the third brother also joined the battle like them. This made the Black Village, which had always been beaten down by other cottages, feel proud for the first time.

So the third brother was qualified to stay and was worshiped as their military advisor.

With the participation of the third brother, there are more than a hundred cottages, large and small, in Shiwan Mountain, all of which are respected by Black Village.

However, I didn't expect that half a year ago, the second leader colluded with other people inside the family to severely damage the Black Village, and what was even more abominable was to poison the third brother.

Everyone thought that the third brother was dead and buried him in the tiankeng according to the rules of Shiwandashan. Unexpectedly, they saw the third brother again today.

"At that time, were you sure that the third brother was dead?" Tang Xinyue asked doubtfully.

"It's absolutely true." The black-faced man said firmly, "It was me and the village leader who presided over the funeral of the third brother."

Tang Xinyue silently took two steps closer to the original sinkhole, releasing her mental power to feel that the flower no longer existed underground.

She couldn't help but have two hypotheses in her mind: one was that the third brother was really not dead, and the flower held the third brother up;

Second, the third brother was really dead, but because he was not an original resident of Shiwandashan, the flower attracted the death energy from his body and resurrected him.

This thing was so weird that Tang Xinyue didn't know whether it was right or wrong to destroy the flower just now, and she was a little annoyed for a while.

Qi Yunfeng, who noticed that she was a little uneasy, came over to stand side by side with her and said seemingly casually, "Just follow your heart on some things."

Tang Xinyue turned around and smiled lightly.

"Seventh brother, seventh brother and sister, let's go to Black Mountain Village with me." Qi Yunyi took a few steps forward and said to them.

Ever since Tang Xinyue rescued him, his memory about Black Mountain Village was still a little vague.

On this trip, firstly, I can meet my old friends, secondly, my memory may be completely restored, and thirdly, I can find out whether my father and brother are also in Shiwandashan.

Another person came on horseback from a distance, and there were three more horses behind them, specially prepared for them.

In Heifeng Village, the whole village celebrates the arrival of Qi Yunyi and the distinguished guests.

As soon as he stepped here, Qi Yunyi's memory spread out, and he remembered everything.

He punched the village leader fiercely and joked boldly, "Boss, do you think I am a human or a ghost?"

The leader of the village looked tough, and his eyes suddenly turned red, "Third brother, even if you are a ghost, you are still my dear third brother."

"Haha..." The third brother laughed heartily, and the dull mood after waking up was swept away.

They reminisced about old times, while Tang Xinyue followed Qi Yunfeng and wandered around Black Mountain Village.

As a person from later generations, this kind of primitive cottage is still very new to her, and she looks curious everywhere she looks.

After a sumptuous and lively lunch with singing and dancing, Qi Yunyi proposed to leave.

Although Heishanzhai was betrayed by the second master half a year ago and suffered some losses, with the foundation built by Qi Yunyi for more than two years, it is still the number one mountain stronghold in Shiwan Mountain.

All large and small cottages are within the jurisdiction of Black Mountain Village, and there are no outsiders like him there.

Since their father and brother are not here, they have to rush to Hong County to join the Qi family.

Before leaving, the village owner gave them three horses and reluctantly saw them off.

"Third brother, remember to come back and see the brothers when you have time!"

"Yes, third brother, this will always be your home."

"Third brother, don't forget us."

...

Everyone was grateful for Qi Yunyi's kindness and wished he would not leave and see him all the way.

Saying goodbye to Heishan Village, the three of them traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the south entrance of Hong County on the morning of the second day.

The exile camp will enter Hongxian through the south gate, which Wang Song had explained beforehand.

I looked at the time in the space and saw that it was ten past ten. Mom and the others should still be on their way.

After confirming this, Tang Xinyue gave the gatekeeper a tael of silver. As she expected, the exiles from the capital did not enter the city.

So, she discussed with Qi Yunfeng, and she went to meet him alone, while Qi Yunfeng took his third brother to settle in the city first.

After all, the third brother's body has just recovered and he has been traveling day and night, which is not conducive to a complete recovery. He needs a good rest.

Qi Yunfeng was very worried about her going alone, but now this was the best choice and he had to make a compromise.

After the three of them separated, Tang Xinyue came to a thick tree and teleported away.

Moving wildly along the way, constantly communicating with flowers, plants and trees, we finally found the exile group twenty-five miles away from Hong County.

Standing on the high treetops, she did not go down to join everyone, but planned to follow them all the way to prevent emergencies.

At this time, she discovered that the Qiu family not only had a new and not old mule, but also had a pair of siblings.

The mule cart should have been bought by the Qiu family when they were in Cangzhou. After all, they could get two taels of silver in exchange for the wolf skin, and the salary she paid to Qiu Daqiu Er every day was enough for the Qiu family to raise money to buy it.

On the contrary, the siblings were very suspicious.

My elder sister is fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she looks gentle and pleasant, the anger in her eyes and the way she stares at the Qi family from time to time make her definitely a ruthless character.

There is also the younger brother, who looks seven or eight years old. Although he looks young and calls out his elder sister, he is clearly an adult and older than his elder sister.

The aura exuding from their bodies was closer to the cruelty and viciousness of a killer.

Obviously, Sixth Brother noticed this and was always vigilant.

Even Wang Song was not as relaxed as before and glanced at the two people from time to time.

Since they knew they were in danger, why did they let them go together?

Chapter 43 Space Gate

Tang Xinyue was confused and could only take one step at a time.

At noon, by a stream, Wang Song ordered to rest.

Each household started to light a fire, and the woman also joined in to help.

It seemed that nothing happened for the time being, so Tang Xinyue left a trace of her mental energy outside and entered the space.

After a brief lunch, she picked up her phone, opened Gujin Pavilion, and found two lines of messages popping up.

One was sent by Gujin Pavilion, asking customers with assets exceeding one billion whether they intend to purchase new features?

The new function is interesting, of course she is willing to do it.

When it pops up, it says: Do you want to open the space door?

Space door? It's even more fun and you can't miss this.

In an instant, a round bright light disappeared into the palm of her right hand at the speed of light.

Then a line of introduction appeared on the phone, along with two notes:

Space doors cannot be opened within a space; space doors cannot be opened across dynasties;

Touching the palm of her right hand, which no longer showed anything strange, Tang Xinyue was inexplicably excited.

Although it cost one billion to obtain this space gate, it was worth it.

With this space door, in the future, as long as she tells the name of the place she wants to go, she can arrive there instantly, without having to work so hard to teleport herself.

It's a pity that she can't travel across dynasties, otherwise, she might be able to return to future generations.

Let's look at another message, which is Fentian's message:

The place where the Colorful Glazed Pagoda was left was a place called Moshan, and it disappeared as soon as it landed.

Tang Xinyue, who originally thought that the Colorful Glazed Pagoda was just a legend, saw that Fentian had sent a new message, and she had just opened the space door, so she couldn't help but want to test it for herself and find out.

Not caring about replying to Fentian, she quickly left the space, waved her right hand, and opened the space door to Moshan.

On the other side, in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Tang Xinyue appeared out of thin air.

Looking at the familiar place, Tang Xinyue was stunned for a moment. Under her feet was the sinkhole that she had filled up with hills yesterday.

this......

Could it be that this space door is inaccurate?

With a wave of her right hand, she revealed the location just now, and she suddenly appeared on the big tree again.

"Moshan."

We are back to this sinkhole again.

Being able to return to the big tree smoothly means that this space gate will never go wrong, then this must be Moshan.

However, she used her mental power to detect under the sinkhole yesterday, and there was nothing there except that one flower.

That flower?

Suddenly, I began to think of something, and I felt that the bouquet of flowers was definitely not simple. I once again used my mental power to extend the flowers, plants and trees to explore, has the flower died and been resurrected?

But there was nothing there, and the flowers were completely destroyed.

Tang Xinyue frowned, and suddenly thought of a possibility, that is: the Colorful Glazed Pagoda fell on Mo Mountain there, and the impact was so great that it not only destroyed Mo Mountain, but also made a big crater.

From then on, people were amazed and began to call this place a sinkhole.

Thinking of this, Tang Xinyue was a little annoyed at her reckless behavior. If she hadn't been so impulsive yesterday, maybe she could find some clues from this flower today.

At this time, several people happened to be pushing their dead relatives to bury the sinkhole. When they saw the sinkhole being filled, they were all at a loss.

Some even cried loudly, feeling like the sky was falling.

Helpless, these people could only go back the same way and find a new place to bury their loved ones.

Tang Xinyue, who had hidden aside early, felt depressed when she saw their actions.

She opened the space door and quickly left this place of right and wrong.

After following the exile group all afternoon, no other abnormalities were found, so Tang Xinyue felt relieved and went to the south gate of Hong County to wait.

Wang Song was worried that the two of them had not arrived in time, and saw Tang Xinyue waiting eagerly at the city gate from a distance, with eyes full of approval.

Tang Xinyue stepped forward, and everyone happily gathered together. The exile brigade became lively for a while, making people entering and leaving the city look back frequently.

After meeting her mother and other family members, Tang Xinyue's eyes met the woman standing among the Qiu family members.

The woman was looking at Tang Xinyue. When she saw her staring at her, she quickly smiled shyly and lowered her head.

After successfully entering the city, the woman took the child and said goodbye to the Qiu family.

Seeing them leaving like this, Tang Xinyue looked suspicious, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Wang Song led everyone to find a familiar inn. After identifying the place with them, Tang Xinyue went out to find Qi Yunfeng and the others.

She had told Wang Song and the Qi family in advance about Qi Yunyi's return.

Wang Song naturally had nothing to say, and the Qi family cheered.

Qi Yunzhuo is back, and now Qi Yunyi is back, making everyone more and more hopeful about their future life.

Mrs. Mei really hopes that her sons can come back one by one, and of course, her husband.

The other four sisters-in-law are also looking forward to the day when they can expect good news.

When Tang Xinyue came back, they had sold the three horses and bought a mule cart, a tent, and two folding chairs.

"Mother, the child is unfilial and makes mother worried." After getting off the car, Qi Yunyi saw Mei standing at the door of the inn to greet her, and quickly knelt down to worship.

There are more wrinkles on my mother's face, more white hair on her head, and her back is not as straight as before.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Mrs. Mei had thousands of things to ask in her heart, but only this sentence came to her lips.

Nothing matters anymore, what matters is that his son is by his side now.

"You who were stabbed a thousand times, where have you been in the past three years?" Sister-in-law three punched Qi Yunyi on the back, crying and cursing.

In the past, the third sister-in-law, although she spoke fieryly, came from a wealthy family and had never been so rude.

For this reason, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing the interaction between the third brother and everyone, Qi Yunzhuo's eyes turned red. He thought of the moment when he came back and glanced at Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue gratefully.

In the evening, in order to celebrate Qi Yunyi's return, the Qi family arranged a sumptuous dinner as usual, and invited two official servants and the heads of three other families to drink.

The return of the Qi brothers has become something that the entire exiled team should be happy about.

That night, in order to save money, the Qiu family chose to set up a tent in the backyard of the inn, and the other two families followed suit.

And Tang Xinyue, because of the return of her two brothers, opened two more rooms than when she was in Cangzhou.

"Yueyue, if we don't squeeze in, we won't have to spend so much money." Mrs. Mei was afraid that she would spend all her personal money.

On this journey, what did you not spend on your seventh daughter-in-law's money?

"Mom, it's okay. I have money and a lot of money." Tang Xinyuehao didn't shy away.

After all, when the truth is spoken seriously, it is sometimes easy to be taken as a joke.

Sure enough, everyone just thought she was joking and smiled, but they sincerely thanked her for her contribution to the Qi family.

Who can tell the difference between true and false?

Chapter 44 The mysterious man in black

After going back to their respective houses, Tang Xinyue took Qi Yunfeng into the space and immediately told him about the strange-looking man and woman.

"Tell me, what is their purpose of following you all the way?"

She had asked the Qiu family. They asked about the way to Hong County on the way, and they happened to ask about the Zhou family.

Seeing that they were pitiful, Zhou asked Wang Song to take them with him.

Wang Song didn't agree, but he couldn't resist the woman's persuasion and gave him another two taels of silver, and then he nodded.

"What did Sixth Brother say?" Qi Yunfeng also felt that this matter was strange.

"Sixth brother said that the two of them have always behaved well. They did not run around or leave the Qiu family to contact other people."

Tang Xinyue recalled Brother Six's expression when he spoke, and it was clear that he was a little confused.

Brother Six sensed that those two people were coming from a wrong place, but he didn't find anything wrong with them.

At this time, Qi Yunfeng touched his arm casually and said, "Tomorrow you and I will go to the streets to look for them and see if we can see these two people again."

His movements caught Tang Xinyue's attention, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

She thought of a possibility.

"Okay, let's get up early tomorrow."

As soon as the words came out, Tang Xinyue felt that she had said something wrong, and her face felt a little hot inexplicably.

"Okay, it's too late. You should go to bed early." After saying that, she quickly strode back to her room.

Qi Yunfeng, a frequent visitor to the sofa, lay down gracefully and smiled as he recalled Tang Xinyue's shy look.

It was late at night, everything was silent, and the three families in the backyard had fallen asleep soundly.

Suddenly, a breeze blew up, and the fallen leaves on the ground floated up one after another. They floated accurately through the gaps into the Qiu family's tent and landed on everyone's wrists.

After leaving the space and sitting in the room, Tang Xinyue had a smile on her face after receiving the news that the leaves had returned.

Sure enough, she guessed it, and those two people actually poisoned Qiu Daqiu Er.

This poison is different from the previous poison of Qi Yunfeng. He will not lose his memory, but his body will automatically explode after three days.

Qiu Daqiu Er drove the car to the Qi family and was closest to the Qi family. An explosion between the two of them would definitely cause serious damage to them.

Either dead or injured.

The poison was administered two days ago, and they had to detoxify Qiu Da Qiu Er as soon as dawn came.

After breakfast, Wang Song sent a message to rest in Hong County for a day and leave early tomorrow morning.

Everyone is happy and can have a good rest.

Tang Xinyue did not go to Qiu Daqiu Er in person, but taught Qi Yunfeng the method and asked him and his two brothers to handle the matter together.

Having witnessed his own detoxification with his own eyes, and with his quick and accurate movements, this little thing was not a problem for him.

Then, she gave Qi Yunfeng five hundred taels of silver notes and asked him to buy supplies.

The reason why Tang Xinyue confessed this was that she found that there was a cold air following her.

She had noticed this cold air for the first time when she was in the Tiankeng of Shiwanda Mountain, but she didn't take it seriously at the time.

When she checked the Qiu family's pulse last night, she felt the cold air again.

It is getting closer and closer, and it seems that a powerful existence is constantly approaching itself.

She must take the initiative and not wait for the other party to come and harm her family.

Seeing her retreating back, Qi Yunfeng could only let go even though he was very reluctant.

He cannot be a burden to her.

Ten miles out of the south gate of Hong County, Tang Xinyue was waiting on a tall tree.

When a ghost-like black figure floated in front of her, she was stunned for a second and then yelled, "What are you doing with me like a ghost?"

"Did you destroy my piranha?" In a short sentence, the voice of the man in black was still male for the first few words, but turned into a female voice for the last few words.

Wearing a black veil, her appearance could not be seen, and it was impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman from her figure and voice. Tang Xinyue couldn't help but become more vigilant.

The other party was too mysterious, so she had to deal with it carefully.

When she mentioned the piranha, the red flower at the bottom of the sinkhole that sucked up corpses came to her mind.

It was precisely because she destroyed the flower that she felt a cold air coming from a distance.

"Are you the owner of that flower?" Although she knew that the other party was evil, she still faced it calmly.

"That's right." The man in black said androgynously, "Since it was ruined by you, how should you compensate?"

"Do you know the Seven-Color Glazed Pagoda?" Tang Xinyue did not answer the other party's question, but changed the topic.

She wanted to verify whether what Fen Tian said was true.

After all, the man in black looked mysterious and strange, and the place where the colorful glazed tower was left behind by Fentian was the place where the piranha in her mouth once grew.

Sure enough, upon hearing this question, the man in black reacted brightly, "You also want to get the Seven Color Glazed Pagoda?"

This sentence has already confirmed what Fentian said.

"No, I'm just asking casually." Tang Xinyue told the truth, "What I want to know more is whether the fourth prince framed the Qi family and his son because of it? Also, were you the one who poisoned him?"

Fentian said that this ancient artifact was too heaven-defying.

If it really comes out, I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse. If her father and brother hadn't suffered such a disaster, she would never have mentioned it.

The man in black chuckled, "These are not important. If you agree to compensate, tell me your conditions."

"How to compensate?" Tang Xinyue was already sure that the other party knew the whereabouts of her father and brother.

If there is a glimmer of hope, of course you have to fight for it. No matter what request the other party makes, as long as it does not violate the laws of nature and conscience, she can agree to it.

"Help me go back to the ancient times?" The man in black said in a slightly pleading tone.

After the piranha flower attracts the souls of another three hundred thousand living people, it will fully bloom and produce a ten thousand-foot-long ray of light.

That ten thousand feet of light is the key to opening the door to antiquity.

However, this method is against the laws of nature, and you will be punished by God on the way to ancient times. At worst, you will be wiped out in ashes, at worst, your vitality will be severely damaged, and you will never be able to recover. Even if you return, you are destined to not go far.

After following Tang Xinyue, I found that she could actually open the door to time and space, which had to be said to be unexpected.

If he entered the ancient times through the time and space door she opened, he would definitely be unscathed.

"I'm afraid I can't do this." Tang Xinyue refused without even thinking.

The door to time and space cannot be opened across generations, this is what she knew from the beginning.

If you agree to the other party rashly, it will do more harm than good.

"Tell me your conditions first." The man in black was not annoyed. He had already waited for so long and didn't care if he waited any longer.

"My father and brother have returned safely. No one will cause trouble to the Qi family anymore. I can't tell anyone my secret."

Tang Xinyue expected that the other party knew everything and might be the initiator, but fortunately her father and brother were not dead, so she could calmly negotiate terms with the other party.

"Okay, I promise you." In the view of the man in black, these are not conditions. "Is there anything else you can add?"

"What was the original conspiracy between you and the Fourth Prince?"

Chapter 45 The Fourth Prince is Dead

"The fourth prince wants the country, so he has to fight. And my piranha flower not only needs the nourishment of a hundred thousand dead people in the mountains, but also the living souls of three hundred thousand living people. We help him seize the country, and he helps us get the living souls. , that's all."

"Did you rescue my third brother when he was in the sinkhole? Also, what does the Qi family father and son have to do with this?"

"Qi Yunyi couldn't die at that time. As for why it was the Qi family's father and son, it was because when the formation was selecting people, the magic battle chose them. To be more precise, the seventh child of the Qi family was chosen."

Lao Qi? Isn't that Qi Yunfeng?

Tang Xinyue was startled and asked again, "What's different about him?"

"He is indeed different, but I don't see what the difference is." The man in black was a little frustrated.

It is precisely because of Qi Yunfeng's differences that he has been able to stay safe and sound for the past three years.

Even Qi Yunyi and Qi Yunzhuo, who thought they had slipped through the net, were always in his sight.

However, the piranha flowers had not yet emerged from the ground, so they were not so anxious to tell the fourth prince their whereabouts.

The reason why the fourth prince took action against the Qi family and his son so early was just to weaken the enemy's power and had nothing to do with her.

"Tell me who you are?" Tang Xinyue stared at the black gauze of the person in front of her, as if to see clearly the face under the black gauze.

But there is clearly a layer of gauze, but it seems to be a thousand layers of gauze, blurring the vision.

"I will tell you the day you open the door to time and space for me." The man in black gave up.

"Do you believe me so much?" Tang Xinyue smiled bitterly.

She simply can't open the door to time and space across generations, and it's still in the ancient times. She can't do it now.

"It's not a bad idea to wait for you for a hundred years." The man in black was very patient.

One hundred years? Tang Xinyue laughed.

Forget it, since the other party is going to make this loss-making deal, just don't resent her then.

After the man in black left, Tang Xinyue was in no hurry to leave.

She watched the other person's figure drifting away and fell into deep thought.

This floating immortal energy is obviously different from Qi Yunfeng's Qing Gong, but it is really flying.

Could it be that the other party really came from ancient times and was restricted for some reason and could not return.

She couldn't figure out the reason. She could only wait until the day when she really sent him back.

It's difficult, she shook her head.

Unless the space gate is upgraded, there will be no hope.

upgrade?

By the way, maybe there is hope.

Thinking of this, she immediately dodged into the space.

It cost one billion to get the space gate last time. If you want to upgrade it to one that can span the past and present, I'm afraid the cost will be much more than one billion.

She decided to upload all the items obtained from the royal private treasury. After she had enough money, she would see what Gujin Pavilion could do.

I just went ahead and uploaded them all in a whole day. There are already more than two million large and small products hanging in the store.

Of course, this is only half of the space items.

Apart from drinking water and eating a piece of bread, she didn't rest during the trip.

Checking the time, it was already 6:40 pm.

Although she had told Qi Yunfeng before leaving that if she was delayed by something, let them leave first and she would catch up with them afterwards.

But there is nothing going on now, so it would be better to go back early.

It's more fun if there are more people talking, laughing, eating and drinking together.

With that said, she left the space, opened the space door, and returned to the inn.

I came back at just the right time, dinner is almost ready.

In order to wait for her return, the sisters-in-law deliberately cooked dinner half an hour late.

After talking with Qi Yunfeng, everything went smoothly today.

The next day, when the group left the inn, both the He family and the Mao family had a new mule cart.

The Qiu family already has a car, so naturally they cannot be left behind.

Furthermore, we no longer need to stay in an inn, we will all sleep in the backyard, which saves a lot of money.

After much consideration, the two families finally decided to buy a mule cart together, which would be cheaper.

Tang Xinyue, who thought she would reach the northwest safely, did not want to encounter frequent problems every day.

Either someone came to attack, or someone wanted to poison them. Although they didn't hurt them, the harassment from these people was as uncomfortable as having fleas on their bodies.

The man in black hadn't promised himself that he wouldn't cause trouble for the Qi family in the future, so how could he go back on his word?

Just when she was resting in a countryside with doubts, she heard the news: the fourth prince had been killed.

As soon as the news came out, everyone in Da Chu was shocked.

In the impression of the Chu people, the fourth prince lived in seclusion, did not participate in political affairs, was gentle and polite, and never made enemies. How could he be killed for no reason?

It was already two days later when the news of his murder reached this remote village.

Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng looked at each other with a bit of joy in their eyes.

After all, according to Fentian, the person who murdered the Qi family was the fourth prince.

If Tang Xinyue's arrival had not changed the course of events somewhat, the fourth prince would have definitely become the new king by the end of that year.

Does the death of the fourth prince have anything to do with the man in black?

Tang Xinyue decided to visit the Fourth Prince's Mansion tonight.

At night, after Qi Yunfeng fell asleep, she used the space door to arrive at the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the capital in the blink of an eye.

The fourth prince had a concubine and had a mansion outside the palace early.

During the funeral, the entire mansion was brightly lit, and the large tracts of white cloth were very eye-catching. Looking at this battle, the news is unmistakable.

When she was about to go find someone to inquire about the news, a cold air hit her. She raised her head and looked at the northern sky.

"You're here, I've been waiting for you for two days." It was the man in black, the owner of the piranha flower, who came.

"I happen to be looking for you too." Seeing that the other party was waiting for her, Tang Xinyue smiled.

"You can call me Huarui from now on." The man in black no longer exchanged male and female voices, but spoke entirely in a female voice.

"My name is Tang Xinyue." Tang Xinyue asked directly without saying any polite words, "Did you kill the fourth prince?"

"No, it's Yuan Ling who is with me." Hua Rui said.

When she and Yuan Ling first came to this continent, they stayed in the tiankeng in Shiwanda Mountain for three thousand years.

Finally, three years ago, Yuan Ling met the fourth prince by chance.

They coincided with each other, and he became the staff of the fourth prince, and reached an agreement with him, one for the Seven Color Glazed Pagoda to unify the country, and the other for the 300,000 souls of the Piranha.

She didn't want to ruin the lives of people like this, but Yuan Ling had already taken advantage of it and joined forces with the fourth prince to attack the Qi family.

In order to return to ancient times as soon as possible, she could only act like this by default.

Now that the Piranha was destroyed and she met Tang Xinyue again, she naturally no longer agreed with this behavior.

She wanted to take away the four brothers and father of the Qi family, but she was unexpectedly blocked by the fourth prince.

Even Yuan Ling was angry that she was not doing well in guarding the piranha. In anger, he accidentally killed the fourth prince.

He couldn't listen to any explanation from Hua Rui and took away the Qi family's father and brother.

Knowing this, Tang Xinyue was upset. She should have followed Huarui to save her father and brother.

"He is stronger than me." Hua Rui sighed, "I only have the piranha. Now that the piranha has been destroyed, it has nothing but the ability to come and go freely."

"Is that person a master of poison?"

Chapter 46 Pearl tells the whereabouts of her grandfather's family

"Indeed." Hua Rui nodded.

It seems that the person named Yuan Ling has been frequently attacking them. Tang Xinyue asked with a bit of anger, "Where did he take my father and brother?"

"They left through the tunnel of this mansion. After that, I couldn't trace the aura of their group." Huarui pointed at the huge courtyard behind her, "But don't worry, their lives will not be in danger."

Seeing that Tang Xinyue was about to leave, Huarui hurriedly asked, "Does the agreement between us still count?"

"Forget it, as long as I can open the time and space door to ancient times." Tang Xinyue said solemnly.

Although the other party's mission was not completed and she could deny it, she felt that it didn't matter if she was a little more kind.

She always felt that the other person had a strange power, both good and evil.

If she didn't want to make things worse, she wouldn't mind helping him and sending him away from this continent.

"I will tell you the news as soon as possible." Hua Rui said.

"Okay." Tang Xinyue glanced at her and suddenly asked, "On the eve of the Zhenguo Palace being ransacked, were you the one who delivered the letter?"

"Exactly." Hua Rui nodded.

Tang Xinyue said nothing more. After looking at her, she opened the space-time door.

As a flash of white light disappeared, the stamens stood in place for a long time without moving.

Following Tang Xinyue's figure with burning eyes, she was looking forward to when the ancient door would be opened for her.

Tang Xinyue, who was chasing along the tunnel, came to a courtyard at the foot of a mountain.

As soon as she came up, she found that there was no one in the courtyard.

However, the household furnishings inside are very clean, with very little dust, so it looks like it is often lived in.

Could it be that Yuan Ling lives here?

She carefully looked at every part of the courtyard, but unfortunately found nothing.

There is nothing here but simple necessities. There wasn't even a trace of breath dissipating in the air, no wonder even the stamens were helpless.

It seems that everything needs to be considered in the long term.

Tang Xinyue thought that since she came to the capital, she would go and see how Pearl was doing.

A quarter of an hour later, she arrived at a mansion in the capital and discovered that it was the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. The pearl had returned to the original owner's natal family?

At this time, she was being punished to kneel in the second young lady's courtyard, and her whole figure looked a lot thinner.

How could this be true?

Tang Xinyue was furious. After disguising herself, she appeared in front of Pearl, shook her drowsily, and pulled her up.

Pearl suddenly woke up and saw the masked man in front of her. She almost screamed in fright, but Tang Xinyue covered her mouth.

"Pearl, don't be afraid, the eldest lady sent me."

Upon hearing that it was the eldest lady, Pearl finally stopped screaming, but she still looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

"The eldest lady gave you two thousand-tael silver notes before she left. Why did you return the money to the Tang family when you were rich?" In order to make her let down her guard, Tang Xinyue deliberately mentioned the money that only the two of them knew about.

Upon hearing that the other party was indeed the eldest lady, Pearl cried with joy, "Is the eldest lady okay? Has she not forgotten the slave?"

"Don't worry about Miss, she is fine. She just doesn't trust you and asked me to come and see you. Why are you kneeling here?" Tang Xinyue asked displeasedly.

"Sister, after I sent the eldest lady off that day, when I returned, I happened to meet the second lady. Without saying anything, she had someone beat me up, and she also took away the money the eldest lady gave me, saying that I had stolen it. of......"

Before she finished speaking, Pearl started crying.

At that time, the second lady took Pearl back to the Hou Mansion and threatened her to report to the officials if she dared to escape. She was made to do this and that, and was tortured until she was almost out of shape.

Pearl seized the opportunity and asked the Marquis for help.

What's annoying is that the original owner's father found out about this and not only ignored it, but also allowed his daughter to do whatever he wanted.

Because she complained to the Marquis, the second lady went even crazier, and Pearl didn't know how long she could hold on.

"Zhenzhu, don't be afraid, they are just scaring you. You can leave the Hou Mansion later, they don't dare to look for you." Tang Xinyue patted Pearl's back and consoled her.

"Okay." Pearl nodded heavily. With the confidence from the eldest lady, she was no longer so decadent. "By the way, sister, I heard something about the eldest lady's maternal grandfather's family."

"Oh, tell me." Tang Xinyue took a step forward, her eyes burning.

In the original owner's memory, there has been no news about his maternal grandfather's family.

After all, her mother passed away early, and she was still young when she was sent away later, so she had no idea about the people and things in her maternal grandfather's family.

"Sister, the day after I was brought back by the second young lady, I heard some mothers-in-law talking, saying that the eldest young lady's maternal ancestors also committed crimes and were exiled to the northwest." Pearl told everything she knew.

At that time, Tang Xinyue's grandfather was the chief imperial physician of the Chu Dynasty. He did not want to be implicated in a case of a noble concubine, so the whole family was exiled.

Her mother was already depressed because of the Marquis's preference for concubines, and the exile of her mother's family made her even more devastated, and she died in the end.

"Also, from what those women said, it seems that the lady was killed." Pearl looked around and said in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xinyue understood that Ning Yuanhou had already pampered his concubine and destroyed his wife. Later, he was afraid that he would be implicated by his father-in-law's family, so he directly killed her.

It stands to reason that no matter how difficult it is for a mother, she cannot bear to leave her young child behind.

Everything is a conspiracy of the Hou Mansion.

"Okay, I will convey your words to the eldest lady." Tang Xinyue took out five thousand taels of silver notes from the space and stuffed them into Pearl's hand, "Take this money and go home."

In the memory of the original owner, Pearl's home was in the suburbs of Beijing. When we were separated last time, she thought Pearl would go home, but she never thought that she would be taken back to the Hou Mansion and let her know about her grandfather's family.

Pearl held the banknote in her hand tightly and almost knelt down, but Tang Xinyue helped her up.

After escorting the pearl all the way back to her home, Tang Xinyue returned to the Hou Mansion.

She used to think that no matter what, this place was the original owner's natal family, so when she emptied the royal treasury, she didn't touch a single line of the Hou Mansion.

Don't blame her for being ruthless this time, after all, they asked for it.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the warehouses in the Hou Mansion were occupied by her.

There are quite a lot of things in the warehouse. Compared with the original Zhenguogong Mansion, it is simply as big as the heavens and the earth.

It is rumored that Ningyuan Houfu accumulated wealth for three generations and was as rich as the country. It is indeed true.

When the original owner got married, he didn't even have a decent dowry. In addition, the original owner's mother's dowry was taken back with interest.

Then, she came to the second lady's room.

The original owner's sister, Tang Huazhi, was originally the daughter of a concubine, half a year younger than the original owner.

Since her mother Fu Zheng became his wife, she naturally became the legitimate daughter.

Marquis Ningyuan later married several concubines and gave birth to several concubines.

In Marquis Ningyuan's view, he was just Tang Huazhi's daughter, so it hurt like a ball in his eye.

Chapter 47 Taking in Big Head

With such a father and mother, Tang Huazhi was so arrogant that he looked down upon his younger brothers who were born as concubines.

Even after the original owner returned home, he suffered a lot of losses at her hands.

Looking at Tang Huazhi's perverse and calm face after falling asleep, Tang Xinyue sneered.

She took out a packet of itching powder from the space and sprinkled it into the air.

After all the hair fell lightly on Tang Huazhi's body, she left with satisfaction.

When this itchy powder falls on the skin, it won't be cured unless a few layers of skin are shed.

Thinking about it, she didn't have time to take care of Pearl during this period of time.

If she gets better in the future, she will still find trouble with Pearl, but what awaits her will not be pediatrician's itching powder.

After taking care of Tang Huazhi, Tang Xinyue could only return to the small village.

Hasn't someone been harassing them these past two days? Then she would wait for them to come to her door and then arrest them to find out what happened.

On the second day, when the group finished breakfast and said goodbye to the old man who let them live in his home for free, a boy of eleven or twelve years old hurried over.

"Master, please take me with you. I can do any job." As soon as he arrived, he knelt down in front of a group of officials and begged.

"Boy, get up, you are still too young. Come back in two years." After Zou Xiaojun finished speaking, a group of officials laughed.

"Butou, what are you doing?" the old man asked in confusion.

"Third Grandpa, my father beats me to death every day. I really can't stay in this family anymore."

After saying that, the boy called Big Head lifted up his sleeves and back, and the old and new whip marks alternated between them were ferocious and dazzling.

"Hey..." Third Grandpa lowered his head and sighed.

That way, it seemed that he was blaming himself for not even caring about a child.

Although Wang Song felt sympathy, it was not his decision to let this child join them.

Moreover, this child is indeed too young, as thin as a hemp stalk. If he encounters a more powerful exiled prisoner, how can he control him?

The people they took with them this time were all officials and they were more disciplined along the way.

If you encounter those scattered troublemakers, bandits, and bullies, even the weaker officials will be able to handle them, let alone a child like him.

"Master Wang, let this child follow us." When Wang Song was in trouble, Tang Xinyue stepped forward and said.

This child's poor life experience, if it is true, she has done a good thing.

If there was someone who was willing to put it in, she would be able to follow the clues and follow the clues.

When Datou saw someone taking him in, he immediately kowtowed.

Tang Xinyue supported him and said, "Get up, there is gold under the man's knees, you know?"

"I know." Datou nodded heavily and stood up quickly.

"Does your family agree if you want to come with us?" Qi Yunfeng stepped forward, stood next to Tang Xinyue, and asked with concern.

Since his wife is willing to accept the child, he will naturally not object.

However, this is a big deal and must be explained clearly to the family.

"My father beat me this morning and told me never to go back." Da Tou couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes when he mentioned this.

"His mother died early, and his father married a stepmother and gave birth to a younger brother. The family has long been unable to accommodate him." The old man shook his head, with a look of anger and pity on his face.

"Old man, please go back with your child and ask him to write a divorce letter at home." Qi Yunfeng said, and he had to leave simply.

"Hey, okay." The old man patted his head and said, "Let's go."

As Da Tou walked, he looked back at Tang Xinyue and the others, fearing that they would abandon him.

"Don't worry, we will wait for you to come back." Tang Xinyue said sympathetically.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the old man came back with the big head.

"His father, under the instigation of his stepmother, actually wrote a divorce letter, and he wrote five copies at once, including the clan leader and the village chief."

The old man held the divorce letter in his hand, shook his head in pain, and then said, "Big head, it's my fault that Third Grandpa has no ability and can't support you. You have to work hard with the noble man."

In a remote and remote place like theirs, growing crops depends entirely on the weather, and they cannot harvest much food throughout the year.

In years of famine, people starve to death in every house.

Over the years, many people in his family have starved to death. His second brother's family all died in the disaster.

Hey, more than half of the people in this village are missing.

Datou also held a divorce letter in his hand. He kept his head down and wiped his tears with his hands from time to time.

He really got the divorce letter and completely left that family, but he couldn't be happy.

"Datou, follow the noble man well. When you are successful in the future, we will return home in fine clothes. Although you are no longer related to your father, you will always be a member of our Xiaorong Village." The old man put his hands around Datou's shoulders and encouraged him sincerely.

Hearing this, Datou suddenly raised his head. Although there were tears in his eyes, they were extremely clear.

"Third Grandpa, I am really from Xiaorong Village."

"Of course you are, silly boy." The old man smiled kindly, "Your father is blind and doesn't want you. Third Grandpa is waiting for you to come back to see me!"

"Okay, Third Grandpa, I, Datou, will definitely look like a good person and come back to see you." Datou changed his previous decadence and became energetic.

"Remember, if you ignore me today, I will make it impossible for you to reach high tomorrow." Tang Xinyue half-bent and said solemnly to Datou.

This sentence not only made Datou's eyes light up, but even the Qi family members were inexplicably touched.

They seemed to see infinite hope for tomorrow in her words.

The old man looked at Datou with tears in his eyes as he followed the deportation procession. While he was still lost in thought, his five-year-old grandson came over and said, "Grandpa, there are a few bags of grain in the kitchen."

The old man was startled and hurriedly took his grandson to look. Sure enough, he saw a bag of rice, a bag of wheat flour, a bag of millet, and a bag of corn in the kitchen.

These are treasures that can keep the poor alive. The old man immediately thought of Tang Xinyue who cooked here yesterday and took away the bulk today.

He immediately knelt down in the direction they left and said, "Good man! God, please bless the good man!"

His little grandson also knelt down with him and imitated it in a decent manner.

After leaving, Tang Xinyue asked Datou to follow Qi Heming. Firstly, they were of similar age, and secondly, he could learn to drive a car.

After traveling for half a month, the Qi family never encountered anyone who attacked or harassed them. This made Tang Xinyue fully prepared, and the plan to capture them alive was shelved.

She remembered Hua Rui's words, her father and brother's lives would not be in danger for the time being.

It seems that everything needs to be considered in the long run.

Hua Rui said that new news would come to her, so she had no choice but to suppress the restlessness in her heart and let her family arrive in the northwest first.

On this day, they stayed at an inn in Huaizhou City.

As usual, when Tang Xinyue was about to take Qi Yunfeng into the space, she found that an uninvited guest was coming.

She signaled to Qi Yunfeng, and the two of them took a defensive stance.

Dong Dong... there was a knock on the door.

Chapter 48 King Rui's visit late at night

"Who?" Qi Yunfeng asked in a deep voice.

"Brother Qi, I am King Rui."

Qi Yunfeng looked at Tang Xinyue warily. It might not be a good thing for Prince Rui to come to his door at this time.

King Rui was the only prince in the Chu Dynasty who was granted the title of king by the emperor, apart from the prince. Therefore, he was very prestigious in the court and was the prince's strongest competitor.

But now that he was here, he couldn't hide even if he wanted to. He gave Tang Xinyue a reassuring look, opened the door, and let him in.

He has been King Rui's reading companion since he was a child, and the two of them have a close relationship.

However, after he went to the army and had many different political views, they gradually started to become estranged.

He hadn't heard this call from Seventh Brother for many years.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, King Rui went straight to the topic, "Brother Qi, I want to ask you to help me when I come here this time. After the matter is completed, I will definitely vindicate the Qi family."

What he said was not too subtle. Both Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue understood that Prince Rui was openly thinking about seizing the throne.

Before they could react, Prince Rui looked at Tang Xinyue and said, "Besides, we are about to get married, and the seventh sister-in-law's sister will soon become my princess."

"Sorry, Prince Rui, I am a commoner now, I'm afraid I am powerless." Qi Yunfeng refused simply.

He knew King Rui very well. When he was a child, he had the temper to burn bridges when crossing rivers. If you become an emperor, I'm afraid it will only get worse.

If you want your family to be safe and sound, you should stay away from anything related to the royal family.

"No, Seventh Brother, I only need a personal promise from you." King Rui said generously.

A promise? Tang Xinyue suddenly remembered Hua Rui's words, Qi Yunfeng was different.

King Rui worked so hard just for his promise, and there must be something to it.

Immediately, she interrupted the conversation, "Your Majesty, I wonder when my sister will marry into the palace?"

"Half a month later." King Rui smiled.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the prince here." Tang Xinyue said with cupped hands, "When the prince and my little sister get married, we will be a family."

"Okay." Prince Rui was very happy with what she said, but he still looked at Qi Yunfeng unwillingly, waiting for his statement.

It was obvious that Qi Yunfeng had no intention of speaking, so he had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.

It seemed that he could only wait until he got married before visiting again.

After sending King Rui away, Tang Xinyue solemnly reminded, "Qi Yunfeng, remember, don't make your promise to anyone easily."

Seeing how serious she was, Qi Yunfeng seemed to hear something unusual in her words, but he didn't think much about it. After all, a promise of a thousand dollars cannot be made casually.

After breakfast the next day, when Wang Song led the exile team to leave, he was told that King Rui was missing and the city gate was closed, and no one was allowed in or out.

Reluctantly, the group had no choice but to stay in the inn again.

Tang Xinyue searched all over the city for King Rui just like she did with her sixth brother last time, but found nothing.

If it was said that the last time I asked Brother Six was whether there was a mole under his ear, it was inevitably biased. This time, I was looking for King Rui based entirely on his personal aura. No matter what changes he made, he would never miss it.

No one was found. Could it be that after seeing them yesterday, he went to see someone else? Or just leave the city?

Prince Rui's disappearance made Tang Xinyue think of the death of the fourth prince. Could it be that Yuan Ling is causing trouble again?

At this moment, Tang Xinyue's eyes were attracted by a busy shop.

Because King Rui was missing, the whole city was on alert, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

Although the shops on both sides of the road were open, there was not much business.

But this shop called Hongyifang is different. Young girls are queuing up, waiting to enter the store.

If you don't know, you would think that King Rui is in this store, and many girls are waiting to go in and kneel down.

Tang Xinyue stepped forward and after watching for a while, she found that the girls coming out of the store were all smiling and holding long clothes in their hands.

"Girl, what are you holding in your hand?" She stopped a lone girl and asked.

"This is a cloak. It was shipped from the south. We have been waiting for a full month." The girl proudly shook the light green cloak in her hand.

"Girl, how much does this cost?" Tang Xinyue asked.

The shawl in front of you should be made of gauze. If it is worn over an ordinary dress, the elegant, hazy and transparent gauze can vaguely reveal the pattern and texture of the underlying clothing. The rich beauty of color and space.

Once this kind of skin comes out, it will naturally be sought after by rich ladies.

"This piece of mine cost five taels of silver." The girl replied a little embarrassed, "The ones bought by the girls in front were more expensive, and one of them cost twenty taels."

After saying that, the girl ran after the person in front of her.

Five taels, twenty taels? This money is made too quickly.

She estimated that the material of the twenty-two pieces of cloaks should be able to keep out the cold in winter.

Last time they were in Dafeng County, each of them bought a set of clothes for only one tael. This cheaper piece of leather was enough for them to buy ten sets of clothes.

Not to mention these 20 taels a piece, even if they buy clothes to keep out the cold in winter, they only need 3 taels of silver a piece.

After looking at the long queue, Tang Xinyue suddenly had an idea.

She bought ten pieces of gauze, ten pieces of velvet, ten pieces of imitation wool cloth, ten pieces of long white velvet, as well as three pieces of antique finished cloaks and the required needlework and money tools from Gujin Pavilion.

Although the wealth of space made her as rich as any country, in the eyes of outsiders, the money in her hands was just pearls and later wolf skin money.

If things go on like this, people will inevitably become suspicious.

After all, if you sit back and have nothing, you can only get out but not get in. No matter how much money you have, no matter who you look at it, it will be spent one day.

Why not take advantage of this time when King Rui is missing, the city gate is closed, and the exile team is unable to move forward, to find a way for everyone to make money, and also give yourself a chance to expose your wealth.

As she said, Tang Xinyue hired someone with a car to help her send the goods back.

As soon as he came back, the sharp-eyed Qi Lan ran over, "Sister-in-law Qi, what are these?"

This girl has been depressed for a while since her parents were sent to the government, but now she seems to be resurrected again.

"I'll give you a task. Go and call all the female relatives in the exile team to the backyard." Tang Xinyue ignored her question and directly ordered.

"Hey, okay." From Tang Xinyue's words, Qi Lan realized that they were going to do something big, and his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

Soon, all the female relatives in the exile team came, and even the men watched to see what they were going to do.

Thick crowds of people filled the entire backyard.

"Is everyone here?" Tang Xinyue asked Qi Lan.

"We're all here." Qi Lan's eyes shone.

She pulled Qi Mengzhi, but when she found the mistresses of those three families, they came rushing over as soon as the matter was mentioned.

Chapter 49 Selling Cloaks

Seeing that everyone had come, Tang Xinyue didn't show off, pointed to the ten pieces of gauze, and said directly, "First of all, a family took a piece of gauze and made it into a cloak for me. One tael of silver per piece, who can make it?" "

One tael of silver to make a cloak?

In the past, these official female relatives would have definitely scorned it, but things are different now. This one tael of silver for each item is a guarantee of survival for them, and they are all eager to give it a try.

"Sister Qi, I know how to do it."

"I can."

"I will too."

...

Regardless of whether they are good at embroidery or not, they are rushing to sign up now, for fear that they will be left out.

Those who gave up on making tents last time, and later tried to make tents but ended up with broken tents, are the ones with the loudest voices this time.

They don't want to be like last time, so they have to follow closely this time.

Darling, it's done, and the reward this time is real money!

"Let me tell you what the best embroiderer is from one family. I'll tell you what you should pay attention to." Tang Xinyue was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. After all, letting everyone make money is what she wanted to see.

Someone from the Qiu, He, and Mao families came out from each family, but it was Gao who came forward from the Qi family.

Mrs. Gao was pushed out by several nieces and nephews. If she were asked to stand up on her own, she would never do it.

Before she left the court, she was a noble girl from an aristocratic family who was good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting.

After marrying into the Qi family, she put away all those elegant things and only took up embroidery work, firstly to meet her status and secondly to supplement the family income.

Tang Xinyue originally thought that the eldest sister-in-law in the Qi family was the best at embroidery, but she didn't want to see the second aunt.

After smiling at Mrs. Gao, she quickly explained the production essentials to the four of them.

In fact, she didn't understand this embroidery work, she just unified the size and details on the clothes.

This gauze shawl is the best and suitable for the current season.

After these ten pieces of skin were finished, their skills became more skillful, and it was easy to make a velvet cloak.

The quality of the yarn is only ten pieces. Whoever finishes one piece first will come back to receive it.

Anyway, if you hand over a piece of skin, you can get one tael of silver, so everyone is scrambling to get things done.

Even the heads of the Mei family and the other three families joined the cloak army with great interest.

It only costs a tael of silver to make something. These days, all dignity and pomp are fake. Only having money in hand is real.

When the man watching on the side saw this scene, he wished he could do embroidery himself.

Qi Yunfeng was far away from the crowd, standing on a tall tree branch, looking tenderly at Tang Xinyue, who was shining in the crowd, with a graceful curve at the corner of his mouth.

If you have a good wife at home, what more can a husband ask for?

That night, Tang Xinyue received fifty cloaks. After checking the stitching one by one, she was very satisfied.

This fine needlework will never be inferior to the private customization of big brands in future generations.

After entering the space, she told Qi Yunfeng about meeting Huarui and told him that her father and brother were taken away by Yuan Ling.

Qi Yunfeng first comforted Tang Xinyue's self-remorse, and then said firmly, "As long as father and brother are still alive, we will definitely find them."

In any case, they have recovered the third brother and the sixth brother, which is a good start.

My father and four brothers will definitely return safely.

For the past three days, he had been having the same dream.

In the dream, in an extremely dark room, my father and four brothers had dull eyes and were performing the same action mechanically, constantly raising and lowering their hands.

They didn't make any sound, and there was no expression on their faces. They repeated the two actions again and again like five wooden men.

The sense of reality that seemed like a dream but not a dream made him feel as if he was personally present at the scene. It was so depressing that when he woke up again, the strange scene still appeared in front of him.

Fortunately, every time he dreams, he gets closer to his father and brothers.

He hoped that he could get closer, wake them up one by one, and lead them out.

Listening to the seemingly unbelievable words said by his wife, he did not feel untrue.

Instead, with the revelation in the dream, he immediately believed that the piranha and its stamens of three thousand years would return to the ancient times.

Those existences that seemed like dreams and illusions, and whether they were real or fake, were already rippling around him one by one. All he could do was accept them first and then look for opportunities.

The next day, Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng were going out to sell fifty cloaks, and Datou came over.

"Brother Seven, Sister-in-law Seven, I want to go with you."

Datou, who followed them out of Xiaorong Village, also changed in just a few days. He grew taller and fatter.

In fact, he is two months older than Qi Mengzhi, but years of not having enough to eat have made him thin. When we first met him, he thought he was only eleven or twelve years old.

He wanted to go with them, not to join in the fun, but because he was interested in doing business.

When he was in Xiaorong Village, he saw many salesmen who came to the village to make noise, and he was very envious of them at that time.

Now that he had such an opportunity, he naturally didn't want to miss it.

"Let's go. By the way, Chen Rui, have you learned how to drive a car?" Qi Yunfeng asked.

Datou's original name was Chen Rui. After arriving at Qi's house, no one called him by his nickname.

"Brother Qi, I have learned how to drive a car a long time ago, and my skills are almost as good as Brother Ming's."

After Chen Rui got acquainted with everyone, he spoke with a gangster spirit, which formed an interesting contrast with the small man.

Therefore, everyone also loves to chat with him.

Qi Lan watched him going out with his seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law, and wanted to drag Qi Mengzhi with him, but he thought it was worth one tael of silver each to make a leather coat, so he decided not to do it.

She only made half a cloak yesterday. Qi Mengzhi and her sisters-in-law all made one, and the second aunt made two. She had to seize the time to embroider, otherwise she would earn less than them.

Tang Xinyue and her group of three went to Hongyifang, and saw a lot of people lining up at the door from a distance.

She originally planned to sell the clothes directly to Hongyifang, but when she saw that there were still so many people lining up today, she immediately changed her mind.

She found a cloth shop diagonally across from Hongyi Square and spent a couple of silver to rent the space in front of the shop.

The shopkeeper saw that they wanted to sell ready-made clothes, which would weaken Hongyifang's business, so he was more than happy even if he didn't give them any money.

"They are selling furs and cloaks. Don't miss it if you pass by. Come and take a look at the high-quality and cheap cloaks."

"It's four taels of silver a piece. If you come late, it will be gone."

"It's four taels a piece, and it's not available anywhere else."

Tang Xinyue put a cloak on her body and shouted loudly, which made Qi Yunfeng's eyes widen.

He didn't expect that his wife would be so generous.

Chen Rui's eyes lit up when he saw that Tang Xinyue's shouts were louder than those of a salesman traveling from house to house.

He also put on a cloak and started selling loudly.

"They are selling cloaks. They cost four taels of silver each. Come and take a look."

"A cape that you can't buy anywhere else. Look at the workmanship."

"Come on, aunts and sisters, let's see if our cloaks can catch your eyes."

Chapter 50: Here to Make Trouble

With their shouts, many people were attracted.

Others came entirely for Qi Yunfeng who was standing aside. His knife-like handsomeness made many girls fall in love at first sight.

In addition, their cloaks were cheaper than Hongyifang, but the workmanship was not bad at all. Soon, all fifty cloaks were sold out.

Fifty pieces of clothing were sold for 200 taels. Excluding the 50 taels of manual labor, costs and other expenses, there was still a profit of 100 taels.

Qi Yunfeng quickly calculated the account in his mind and couldn't help but look at his wife with admiration again.

Putting aside her skills that cannot be known to the world, her ability to make money is enough for everyone to worship her.

"Who asked you to sell cloaks here?" A burst of shouting sounded from the crowd.

After selling the cloak, Tang Xinyue was in a good mood. When she looked up, she saw a middle-aged man getting mad at them.

She recognized this man as the steward of Hongyi Square.

The shopkeeper Qian of the cloth shop heard the commotion and quickly came out to stop it, "Why, Manager Qin, you are allowed to sell it but not mine?"

Manager Qin was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "Do you have such fabric at home?"

"Why not? Otherwise, how could there be so many cloaks?" Shopkeeper Qian refused. The cloth for the cloaks sold in his shop came from his shop.

"You..." Manager Qin almost blurted out. Their Hongyi Shop didn't have this kind of fabric, so why should he, a shabby old shop, have it?

Tang Xinyue looked at it, feeling that the two families had a grudge for a long time, and now they were just using her name to cause trouble here.

Seeing that Manager Qin was frustrated and was about to exaggerate, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, we will come back tomorrow."

"Okay, you guys come early tomorrow." Shopkeeper Qian said with a smile.

If Red Clothes Shop came to cause trouble because they were selling cloaks here, he would insist on keeping them here.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Manager Qin quickly said, "Wait a minute, if you still have goods, you can sell them to us at Hongyifang."

There was a sneer on his face, and his attitude was completely different from when he first arrived.

"I'm sorry, we will still be here at Qian's Clothing Village tomorrow." Of course Tang Xinyue wouldn't buy it.

After saying that, she took the lead and walked forward.

Seeing that she was so ignorant, Manager Qin was about to wave someone to stop her, but when he saw Qi Yunfeng stepping forward and locking his eyes on him like an eagle staring at its prey, he immediately retracted his hand.

Qi Yunfeng has been on the battlefield, and the murderous aura in his body cannot even be resisted by the enemy generals, let alone ordinary people like Qin Guanshi.

Chen Rui had heard Qi Heming say a lot about Qi Yunfeng going into battle to kill enemies. Seeing that Manager Qin was a little careless about life and death, Chen Rui chuckled.

Manager Qin was laughed at by a child. He immediately slapped his face and walked away dejectedly.

"Just wait. If you dare to come tomorrow, I will break your dog legs."

He was almost reaching Hongyifang before he dared to shout there.

Just think of it as a barking dog, and Qi Yunfeng will naturally not take it seriously.

The people who were standing aside to watch the excitement dispersed when they saw them leaving. Only shopkeeper Qian stood at the door, looking at Manager Qin who was yelling, with a worried look on his face.

He has experienced Hongyifang's methods of suppressing his peers. These three outsiders may not be able to bear it tomorrow.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to tell them not to come tomorrow or to wait until tomorrow.

"Hey, wait a minute." Shopkeeper Qian finally stopped Qi Yunfeng and stepped forward quickly, "You'd better avoid it tomorrow, I'm afraid they won't let it go."

"Shopkeeper, don't worry, nothing will happen tomorrow." Qi Yunfeng said a word and chased after Tang Xinyue.

Shopkeeper Qian sighed heavily, lowered his head and walked back.

When Manager Qin saw him like this, his face became even more proud, and he waved his sleeves and entered Hongyi Square.

At the inn, after Tang Xinyue came back, Chen Rui shouted, "Wages are being paid, wages are being paid!"

A group of people who were concentrating on their work gathered around. This was the first time in their lives that they had earned this tael of silver with their own hands. No matter how big or small, everyone was quite excited.

"I've made money!"

"I can make money!"

"I'm no worse than my own man."

...

Even Mrs. Mei, when she happily received a tael of silver from her daughter-in-law, felt like she could support the whole world.

When she was a boudoir daughter, she relied on her father.

After she left the cabinet, she relied on her husband.

Later, she relied on her son.

Looking back on my life, I have never made a penny on my own.

Now that I am getting old, I have earned a tael of money by relying on the skills I have learned since I was a child.

This tael of silver, placed in the palm of your hand, is as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.

After getting the money, everyone couldn't calm down for a long time.

On this day, they deeply realized how good it felt to make money. A few taels of silver almost felt warm in their hands, and they were unwilling to put it away.

Mrs. Gao's mood was even worse than Mrs. Mei's.

In the past, she would also embroider to support her family in the capital.

Qi Zhengning was born as a concubine. Each of him had only two taels of silver per month, while she and her two children only had one tael.

This amount of money is almost the same as the monthly salary of the girl in the house.

If Gao wanted his children to learn more, he had to make extra money.

And she only earns two taels of silver every month by doing embroidery work hard.

But now, she earned two taels of silver in one day. How could she not be excited?

Even Chen Rui reached out and touched the sleeve where the silver was placed, and glanced at Sister-in-law Seven gratefully.

Today he just went out and shouted twice, and got two taels of silver.

Isn't this money very profitable?

When I was in Xiaorong Village, I was so hungry that my chest pressed against my back, and I never had a penny in my pocket. How could I have thought that one day I would have such a good life?

Chen Rui had tears in his eyes under the influence of everyone being elated about making money.

He thought he didn't know when the third grandpa would return home in fine clothes, but in this short period of time, he seemed to see a glimmer of possibility.

He, Chen Rui, will eventually succeed!

"Work, work, the more you work, the more you will get!" Chen Rui shouted. He learned this from his seventh sister-in-law.

More work, more reward? These words made everyone even more motivated.

Indeed, if you pay for one thing, you can get the money the next day.

Moreover, as long as your hands and feet are quick, you can make five taels of silver in one day.

Tang Xinyue made lunch for the Qi family, and the sisters-in-law were all busy making cloaks.

Even when eating, the sisters-in-law ate a few bites in a hurry and then rushed to do things, completely immersed in the joy of making money.

Seeing this situation, Tang Xinyue shook her head and blamed herself, shooting herself in the foot.

Haha, who asked her to make things happen for everyone to make money? This is not what she wanted.

While cooking, she was also thinking about what she should do to make some money after the cloak's popularity passed.
