Imperial city, Ouyang manor.
Old Master Ouyang sat in the main hall with a solemn expression. Almost all the members of the Ouyang Clan had gathered here.
Ouyang Zongheng sat below the elder with a solemn expression like a statue. The atmosphere in the entire main hall became extremely solemn.
Xiao Yi pursed her lips and was unhappy. Her big eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. After shooting a glance at the old man sitting in the hall, she unhappily harrumphed and turned her head away.
"You three brats, watch over Xiaoyi. Don't allow her to take even half a step out of the Ouyang manor today." The elder felt a headache coming on when he saw Ouyang Xiaoyi like that, but he still kept a straight face and instructed the three barbarians of Ouyang.
The three barbarians of Ouyang nodded and solemnly looked at Ouyang Xiaoyi. However, when they were glared at by the angry Ouyang Xiaoyi, the three of them immediately shrunk back in guilt.
"Grandpa! Why don't you allow me to go out? The store still needs my help! "Ouyang Xiaoyi angrily asked the elder.
The elder also glared at her: "Girl, grandpa is doing this for your own good. The situation in the imperial city has become grim these past few days. The crown prince and second prince have begun to wantonly rope in the officials of the imperial court. In order to rope in people, they are resorting to any means possible! Isn't this because they are afraid that something might happen to you! "
"Even if that's the case … You can't stop me from going to the store to help!" Ouyang Xiaoyi was still unwilling as she angrily said with a pout.
"Help … Help what! You are the daughter of a general. Why are you always showing your face in public and going to a small store to work as a waitress? What a scandal! "The elder was also angered by the stubborn girl as his beard twitched.
When Ouyang Xiaoyi heard this, she immediately crossed her arms and coldly glanced at the elder. She lightly smiled and said: "Grandpa, that's not what you said yesterday! When I broke through to fourth grade Battle-Spirit yesterday, you were clearly very happy and couldn't wait for me to work as a waitress every day! "
The elder's body stiffened and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. However, he soon shamelessly grinned and said: "I said I'm not allowed to go, so I'm not allowed to go! Today, you will obediently stay in the manor! "
"Hmph! Smelly grandpa! I'm ignoring you! "
Ouyang Xiaoyi was furious! He snorted at Old Master Ouyang, cocked his head, and left the great hall in a huff.
"What are you three brats doing standing there for?! Go watch that girl! "The old man roared at the three barbarians of Ouyang who were watching the show.
Ouyang Zongheng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Father … we can't mess up the seniority!
"How is His Majesty doing?" Old Master Ouyang calmed down as he watched the three barbarians of Ouyang leave dejectedly. He turned his head and asked Ouyang Zongheng, who was wiping his cold sweat.
Ouyang Zongheng's expression immediately turned cold as he solemnly said, "The situation is not optimistic."
Old Master Ouyang immediately sighed. When His Majesty was young, he had gone on a campaign against the sects and fought with many experts, leaving behind a body full of hidden injuries. Now that he had reached old age, these hidden injuries had suddenly flared up. Even Emperor Changfeng would not be able to withstand them.
Ouyang Zongheng also helplessly sighed. The situation in the capital was already somewhat grim. If His Majesty were to die, the capital would instantly descend into chaos. This was also the reason why the old man did not allow Ouyang Xiaoyi to leave the Ouyang Manor.
For a moment, the lobby fell into silence and no one spoke.
After a long while, a figure quickly rushed into the lobby and knelt in front of Old Master Ouyang with a secret letter in his hand.
The old man's eyelids twitched as he opened the secret letter and quickly skimmed through its contents.
After he finished reading, the old man's expression became extremely ugly and even his white beard was slightly trembling.
"Father … How is the situation?" Ouyang Zongheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.
With a burst of true energy, the old man directly burned the secret letter into ashes with a trembling hand. A trace of sadness and sorrow appeared in his eyes.
"His Majesty … has passed away."
After saying that, the old man seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
…
On the main street of the imperial city, a petite figure was skipping toward Fang Fang's Little Store.
"Hmph! Idiot grandfather, he actually let my three idiot brothers watch over me. How could their blockheads watch over the intelligent Xiaoyi! " Ouyang Xiaoyi's big eyes narrowed into the shape of a crescent moon. She could not help but laugh when she thought of her grandfather's angry expression when he found out about her escape.
"Eh? It's snowing. "
As Ouyang Xiaoyi was walking, she suddenly let out a cry of surprise and puzzledly raised her head. She saw a gust of cold wind blowing past from the overcast sky and then snowflakes as white as goose feathers quietly drifted down.
Ouyang Xiaoyi extended her fair palm and a snowflake landed on it. It silently melted and turned into a bone-chilling snowy water as if the sky was weeping.
"How beautiful," Xiaoyi softly murmured as she exhaled a breath of white air. Then, she flung away the water and continued walking.
The first snowfall of the imperial city came so suddenly. The pedestrians on the main street all stopped to admire it for a while before hurrying on.
Behind Ouyang Xiaoyi, several figures abruptly followed. In an instant, they sped up and surrounded Ouyang Xiaoyi.
Ouyang Xiaoyi's big eyes immediately widened. True energy immediately burst forth from her body in an attempt to break out of the encirclement.
However, the cultivation levels of the people surrounding her were actually all fifth grade Battle-Kings. It was impossible for Ouyang Xiaoyi to escape and she was captured.
"Let go of me! My father is General Ouyang and my grandfather is an elder of the imperial court! If you kidnap me, I will … I will be beaten up! " Ouyang Xiaoyi was furious. There were actually people who dared to attack the general's daughter in the imperial city!
The Battle-Kings glanced at Ouyang Xiaoyi. They could not be bothered to waste their breath on her. They immediately stuffed a rag into her mouth and carried her away.
"Go back and report to the young master that the mission is completed."
A figure nodded, then tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and instantly left the group.
…
Bu Fang was curled up on a chair as he watched the heavy snowflakes slowly falling from the overcast sky of the alleyway. He could not help but shrink his body.
It was snowing and the weather had become even colder.
There were very few customers today. It was so few that Bu Fang was not used to it. Most of the regulars did not show up.
"Is it because of the snow?" Bu Fang muttered in a low voice as he curled up on a chair.
Suddenly, the sound of messy footsteps came from the alleyway. Three burly figures like bears appeared in front of the store.
"Huh? Aren't these the three Ouyang brothers? " Bu Fang was slightly astonished as he looked at the three Ouyang brothers who anxiously appeared in front of the store.
"Owner Bu … Did that lass Xiaoyi come to your place?" Ouyang Zhen panted heavily as he directly asked.
"That girl actually lied to us and snuck out. What happened to the basic trust between brothers and sisters!" Ouyang Di said.
Bu Fang expressionlessly looked at the three brothers and indifferently said, "Ouyang Xiaoyi did not come today."
"Did not come?! How … How could she … "Ouyang Wu stared at Bu Fang. Then, as if he had thought of something, the three brothers' expressions suddenly changed. They looked at each other and said," Oh no! "
Xiaoyi snuck out just to come to the store. However, at this moment, she was not in the store … There was only one possibility.
"How dare these bastards kidnap my little sister …" Ouyang Zhen angrily roared. The three brothers immediately turned around and left in a rage, leaving behind a confused Bu Fang.
Bu Fang expressionlessly watched the three of them leave. The corners of his mouth twitched. "These three brothers … must be stupid."
