Chapter 8

Garrison time.

The moonlight is dark and the sky is covered with snow.

"Master, come back to the house quickly. It's so cold in this cold place. It's not a way for you to always stand here and wait."

The woman was about thirty years old, dressed in a brown red brocade embroidered skirt with complex patterns, and carefully put on a gorgeous mink fur for the man standing still under the eaves. Originally, there was a little anxiety and concern in her timid eyes.

This snow is not ordinary snow. Even if people of practice accidentally touch some, they may also have the worry of soaking in the cold.

The man looked cold and solemn, and the frost and snow between his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be thicker than the heavy snow outside the house.

He stretched out his hand to straighten the thick mink fur, but his eyes still didn't change at all. Through the two main doors that opened dozens of feet away, he motionless looked at dozens of figures that had gone away in the moonlight.

"Master, don't worry too much. Take care of yourself." the concern in the woman's eyes doesn't seem to be false. "Commander Xu Jianghe personally took people to look for it. He must be able to find nian'er soon."

"Shut up!"

The man suddenly turned his head, and the cold light in his eyes swept the woman's white and beautiful face, making her shiver hard, and involuntarily knelt directly on the ground.

"Master, my body... My body is really worried about nianer's safety, master, you..."

PA!

The woman was directly reeled by this sudden slap on the ear, and a bright red palm print appeared on her left face. There were even traces of blood oozing from her face, which had always been treated with dignity.

"If nianer really dies in the qingluan mountains, I will sweep you and your daughter out of my Ji family's courtyard!"

The man was like a furious lion, and there was even a little blood in his eyes. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.

"Nian'er is flanked by more than a dozen Ji Jia's army guards. How can he disappear in the qingluan mountains so silently? It must be you, a poisonous woman, who is unwilling to be indifferent to Ji quexue's mediocrity and wants to seek the position given to Ji Jia by the ancient city of Taichu for her, so you set such a trap to murder nian'er!"

Biqu Pavilion

The woman knelt on the ground, couldn't stop covering her face and sobbing. Tears flowed down like beads of broken thread, and even soaked the complicated and gorgeous brocade sleeved robe.

As the second string main room of Ji Hong, the owner of the Ji family, she has been serving carefully for more than ten years and has taken care of everything in the Ji family in an orderly manner, which has won praise from both inside and outside the Ji family.

Although she envies Ji yuenian, the eldest son of the Ji family, for her irreplaceable position in the Ji family, she has never dared to do anything rash. Even the daughter of the Ji family, Ji magpie Xue, who was born with Ji Hong, is a little timid in front of Ji yuenian. There has never been a situation in which the lineal descendants of the family owners compete with each other in the rest of the aristocratic families in the ancient city of Taichu.

Not long ago, it was really passed down from Hexuan, which dominates the ancient city of Taichu, that whether the creatures who have been stationed here for more than 30 years can practice depends on the heart fire, and whether the heart fire can really ignite is not only related to blood, but also related to the cultivation resources acquired after tomorrow. Therefore, the descendants of the cultivation family almost never have the worry of being unable to ignite the heart fire.

The woman raised her head with tearful eyes and trembled her lips slightly, but she couldn't say a word.

Although she didn't hear from Ji yuenian in the qingluan mountains, she knew very clearly that it was impossible to listen to her explanation based on Ji Hong's character. If Ji yuenian hadn't been found, she and Ji quexue... I'm afraid that Ji Hong would have kicked her out!

Thinking of this, the woman climbed and knelt at Ji Hong's feet, and said in a trembling voice, "master, I really didn't do it, it's really not me, master!"

Ji Hong squatted down and gently held the woman's trembling shoulders. His eyes were full of Indifference: "for a full day, there was no news of nian'er. Those old immortals of the Ji family Presbyterian Committee and the cattle, ghosts and snakes of the Ji family jumped out. Xu Jianghe, who had just been looking for the fourth wave, was the person. I had only two descendants of nian'er and Ji quexue in the Ji family, and Ji quexue was a woman."

After saying this, the woman subconsciously stopped shaking. She was not stupid, and even very intelligent in some aspects. At this time, her thoughts flowed, and she thought about it in an instant, but her face became more and more ugly.

If the eldest childe Ji yuenian really died in the rumored demon infested qingluan mountains, she was afraid that the huge pressure Ji Hong faced was beyond her imagination.

There are many collateral forces in the Ji family. These collateral forces are intertwined. Although Ji Hong is also the second elder of the Ji parents' old society in addition to the owner of the family, even he can't fully control all the collateral forces in the Ji family.

"Think about it, if nian'er disappears completely, whose head will this position really fall on from the crane Xuan?"

Ji Hong gradually collected the coldness in her eyes, and her tone was much softer.

The woman trembled and said, "Ji Baiyu, who is only one year younger than nianer! It's the elder Ji Luoyan! It must be Ji Luoyan who bought nianer's guard and brought nianer into the qingluan mountains!"

Ji Hong looked at her silently without saying a word.

"Master, you mean," the woman looked a little trance, "let me confess this crime with magpie snow?"

"Ji Luoyan is a big elder, and his influence in the Ji family is second only to my master," Ji Hong still looked expressionless. "At this time, if I can't find nian'er, even if I directly attack him, it's not helpful. Instead, Ji Luoyan will seize the handle and take the opportunity to bring Ji Baiyu to the table."

The woman was ready to cry, and could not say a complete sentence.

"Lian'er, I've wronged you. Let's go out and hide for a while."

Ji Hong's voice came into my ears.

The woman's body shook slightly, and she was stunned directly.

Over the years, no matter how well she did and how careful she was, she never got a compliment from Ji Hong.

Just now, he even called himself "lian'er".

"Master, you..."

"Don't worry. After Xu Jianghe returns tomorrow, I will take the opportunity to get angry with you and Ji quexue. Then I will secretly send you two to a safe place and take this opportunity to support Sanfang. I won't leave Ji Luoyan any opportunities."

Ji Hong stood up and looked back, but there was a cold light in his eyes that the woman had not noticed.
