Xiao Bing and Gao Fei discussed martial arts when they had nothing to do. Both of them benefited, but in general, Gao Fei benefited more. What Xiao Bing wanted to break through now was not the martial arts realm, but the primitive accumulation of power in his body. After all, Xiao Bing's realm had already reached the level of Void-breaking, even more than when he was sealed.
Calculating the time, it was less than a month away from the time when Zhang Yizhi said that the seal could be unlocked. The reason why Xiao Bing dared to let Gao Fei stay was that he wanted to bet on the fact that the Buddhists would not come here for the second time within a month. As long as he could delay the power in his body to be unlocked, even if the Buddhists came, Xiao Bing would have some confidence.
As for the Long family, it was the same. As long as Xiao Bing's strength was restored, the Long family would be completely defeated.
Time. What was needed next was just time. But waiting was the most unsettling thing, because waiting often meant that fate was in the hands of others at this moment.
Jiang Zihou and Tang Xueyan were drinking in the dining room in Prince Hou's Mansion. Jiang Zihou had not drunk like this for a long time because he was an ambitious man. He had to do what ambitious men did, so he had to keep his mind clear at all times. Even if he drank, he would drink a little. But he drank a lot today. He did not know why Tang Xueyan drank so much. Maybe she was in a bad mood. Since Tang Xueyan wanted to drink, he drank with her.
Both of them were a little drunk. Tang Xueyan looked at him with drunken eyes. Master Hou asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about ants moving house."
"Oh? You look at me, but in your heart, you're thinking about ants moving house? Am I, an old man, not even comparable to a few ants now? "
Tang Xueyan shook her head and said, "No, I'm thinking about what I said the other day. I envy the freedom of ants. Every ant is doing the same thing. What they do is the most basic thing, for each other's life. However, humans are different. Most of the time, we do things for the sake of ambition, and because of ambition, we do things that go against our hearts. "
Master Hou sighed. His eyes were a little moist. He said, "So, everyone has their own difficulties and pain in life. It's just that in order to be able to get the corresponding freedom and control our own destiny, we have to keep climbing up and keep trampling on others."
Tang Xueyan nodded and looked at Master Hou. "Zihou, why are you so nice to me? Is it because you think of other women through me? "
"Yes." When he saw Tang Xueyan's melancholy eyes, he said, "But also not."
Tang Xueyan shook her head and smiled. "I don't really believe it."
"I'm telling the truth." Master Hou was a little drunk at this time. "You are indeed very similar to her. Oh, you are so similar. At least seventy to eighty percent similar. When I first saw you, although your face was dirty and I couldn't see your face clearly, I couldn't help but think of you as her."
"Who is she to you?"
"Her name is Jiang Qin, a woman I loved when I was young."
"Where is she now?"
"She's dead."
Even though he was drunk, Master Hou still didn't want to continue this topic. Instead, he changed the topic to Tang Xueyan. "When I first saw you, I really thought that you were her. Even when you stayed with me for a few days, I also thought that you were the same person. I also know that it was my unrealistic fantasy. But later, I gradually realized that you are different from her. She is quieter, but you are gradually livelier. Maybe this is your nature."
"But you didn't drive me away."
"Because I think that you are also a very good girl. I don't want to drive you away. I said that I want you to stay here and be the princess of Master Hou's Mansion. I will do what I said. "
Tang Xueyan's eyes were a little red. She stood up and helped Master Hou. "Zihou, let me take you back to your room to rest."
"Okay, go back and rest …"
Tang Xueyan helped Master Hou back to his room. As they walked, Master Hou kept saying, "I used to be a good drinker. Maybe I'm too happy today, too happy …"
Tang Xueyan helped Master Hou back to his room and helped him lie down on the bed. Master Hou's room was filled with flowers. They were all kinds of colorful flowers that Tang Xueyan gave to Master Hou. Every flower was well kept by Master Hou.
The whole room was filled with a rich fragrance.
After helping Master Hou lie down on the bed, Tang Xueyan left and soon came back with a few flowers in her hand. She walked to Master Hou's bed and hesitated for a long time before putting the flowers next to Master Hou's pillow. Then she quietly left Master Hou's room.
Tang Xueyan sat in the room and didn't sleep for the whole night. She held her chin in her hands and looked out of the window. Her eyes were sparkling with tears.
The next morning, Master Hou didn't get up early to practice Tai Chi as usual. When it was almost ten o 'clock in the afternoon, the yard suddenly became chaotic. Someone shouted, "Master Hou is dying … Go and get Master Mu! Go and get Mr. Miyamoto. "
Tang Xueyan, who heard these shouts in the room, slowly shed tears. She wiped her tears and murmured to herself, "I promise you, I will be the princess of this mansion and never leave."
At this time, Miyamoto Shinji suddenly ran to the window of Tang Xueyan's room. Miyamoto Shinji, who was always quiet, couldn't help shouting, "Come out, Master Hou wants to see you!"
Tang Xueyan wiped her tears and walked out of the room. After she walked out of the room, Miyamoto Shinji looked at her and nodded heavily, saying, "I underestimated you. I didn't expect that … You don't use a knife to kill people. Those flowers are safe, but when they are put together, the fragrance is poisonous, right?"
Tang Xueyan didn't answer Miyamoto Shinji. She just walked quietly to Master Hou's room. When she reached the door of Master Hou's room, she stopped to tidy up her clothes and hair. Miyamoto Shinji sneered, "What are you doing at this time?"
"Even the best doctor in the world can't save Zihou. I think at this time, I should let Zihou see my most beautiful face. Even if he leaves, I can't let him leave with regrets."
Miyamoto Shinji sneered. Miyamoto Shinji had been with Master Hou for too long. His biggest role was to protect Master Hou. For so many years, he had never let anyone hurt Master Hou. He didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of a little girl.
When Tang Xueyan opened the door and walked in, a group of doctors were busy in the room. They were all sweating. Master Hou was lying on the bed. His face was purple. He waved his hand and smiled, "You can leave. I can feel that I can't make it. Give me and Xueyan some time."
The doctors left in a hurry. They were really helpless. They were afraid that Master Hou would kill them in anger. After they left the room one by one, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Master Hou said, "Miyamoto, guard outside. Don't let anyone in."
Miyamoto Shinji hesitated for a moment. But thinking that Master Hou was dying, he sighed and stayed outside.
After the door was closed, Tang Xueyan and Master Hou looked at each other. Master Hou smiled, "Silly girl, are you still crying? You don't want to see me die? "
Tang Xueyan asked, "Do you hate me?"
"I don't hate you." Master Hou smiled, "In this world, there are countless people who have died in my hands. I will have this retribution sooner or later. I have been prepared for it. Why would I hate you? Xueyan, are you sent by the Long family? "
"Yes." Tang Xueyan said, "A year ago, my parents were arrested by Lord Long. Lord Long began to force me to learn about plant toxicology. His men especially asked me to imitate your favorite Miss Jiang."
"He started planning a year ago." Master Hou smiled and said, "I was wrong about Lord Long. I always thought he was a simple-minded, brawny man like Xiang Yu in ancient times. I didn't expect him to be so calculative. Not only me, but everyone was wrong about him."
Master Hou looked at Tang Xueyan and said, "But I don't care about that now. I lost to Lord Long. No matter who wins the three northern provinces in the end, I lost to him. Now I just want to have a good talk with you. I want to see you again before I die. Can you sit here? "
Tang Xueyan sat down next to Master Hou. Master Hou grasped her hand and said in a distressed tone, "Lord Long is such a beast. He actually forced you to do this. You should have known that I would be poisoned to death today, right?"
Tang Xueyan sighed, "These flowers are not poisonous. Otherwise, you would have found out long ago. But when these flowers are put together, they become a kind of slow poison. If you add them to the bouquet of flowers I put on your pillow yesterday, it will only be a deadly poison. Usually, people rarely come and go in your room. It's not a big deal. But you sleep in this room every night. Now the poison has gone into your vitals. "
Master Hou smiled, "I already feel that I will die soon. So you don't need to tell me. Since you know that I will die today, why didn't you run away last night? No one in the mansion can stop you. "
"I don't want to leave."
"Why?"
Tang Xueyan looked at Master Hou tenderly and said with a smile, "Because I want to fulfill one of your wishes. I want to be the princess of your mansion forever …"
