Chapter 252

The autumn wind blew, the fragrance of cinnamon wafted, and the yellow flowers fell all over the ground. Yu Junting stood quietly in the garden, surrounded by the yellow flowers on the ground. Her face was indescribably haggard, but she still tried hard to straighten her body, unwilling to show her embarrassment.

The yellow flowers in the garden were planted by her, and then the house changed owners. Now, the old owner of the garden was standing here, quietly waiting for the judgment of the new owner of the garden.

Wen Ao, Yu Hailong, and others were against Yu Junting coming to see Ye Xiaotian, but there was only a dead end if she stayed in the government office. Even the things that could burn them and the whole government office were prepared by them.

Yu Junting had no doubt that if they insisted on staying, Zhang Yutong would not hesitate to throw the firewood into the yard, ignite it himself, and proudly watch them and his house burn to ashes.

Yu Junting couldn't figure out why Ye Xiaotian suddenly stood on Zhang Yuhan's side. Could it be that he was originally arranged by Fatty Zhang?

It didn't make sense at all. Without Ye Xiaotian's help, at least this time she couldn't force the Zhang family into a dead end. Moreover, when she dealt with the Zhang family, Ye Xiaotian also benefited from it. The territory owned by Gedore's troops was carved out of the Zhang family's territory, so it was impossible for the Zhang family to have no grudge against it.

More importantly, if Gedore's troops and the Cool Moon Valley didn't send troops, even if she had Dai Tongzhi and the Men of Sacrifice as her inside help, she might not be able to subdue Zhang Yutong so easily. Why did Ye Xiaotian suddenly change sides?

Yu Junting couldn't figure it out no matter how she thought about it, so she had to get to the bottom of it. If all of this was part of Ye Xiaotian's plan, then it was as if she had dug her own grave and lured Ye Xiaotian to send out his troops. This person's schemes were deep, and his actions were ruthless. It really made her shudder.

"County Supervisor Yu!"

Li Qiuchi walked over to her, smiling and waving his fan. A man who still waved his fan and pretended to be romantic in the late autumn night, wasn't he very flirtatious?

Li Qiuchi smiled with a very annoying expression and said to Yu Junting, "My master is waiting for you, please!"

Li Qiu Chi did not know that this seemingly delicate and timid girl in front of him was actually very skilled. If she wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as lifting a finger. He treated Yu Junting as a little kitten, so he watched as a tigress walked towards the small house.

It was a bathroom. Li Qiuchi smiled mischievously and turned to leave. It was a bathroom. Li Qiuchi. When she was still the owner, this was her exclusive bathroom. She knew that the reason why Ye Xiaotian wanted to see her in the bathroom was to deliberately humiliate her.

General Yu was not an ordinary person after all. When she thought of this, her desperate heart suddenly moved. Humiliate? Why did Ye Xiaotian want to humiliate her? Ye Xiaotian was the winner, the winner who easily played with her in the palm of his hand. Humiliating her was not like what a winner would do, but more like … venting his anger.

Yu Jun Ting Qing knew that things had come to this point and there was almost no possibility of a comeback. She insisted on seeing Ye Xiaotian just to find out if all this was Ye Xiaotian's original plan. If there was really no other choice, she could only die. But before she died, she would definitely drag Ye Xiaotian down with her.

Ye Xiaotian was the Hierarch of the Gu God Sect. He must have a superb witchcraft, but he might not be proficient in martial arts. If a powerful magician was approached by a warrior, he could only surrender. Yu Junting was confident that when Ye Xiaotian was unguarded, she could definitely drag Ye Xiaotian down with her.

However, Ye Xiaotian's action of "meeting in the bathroom" suddenly gave a glimmer of hope to Yu Junting, who was already determined to die. She suddenly felt that there seemed to be a reason for Ye Xiaotian's incredible change that she didn't know. If she could figure out the reason, there might be a glimmer of hope.

The door opened, and Yu Junting stood at the door. A damp heat blew on her face, and there was a strong smell of medicine. It was not Ye Xiaotian who was healing. This was just a medicinal bath. In the water, there were wind-chasing rattan, half maple, nine dragons coiling, blood vine, dog's tongue rattan, duck celery, knotweed, polygonum multiflorum, and so on.

Yu Junting also liked medicinal baths, and she would do careful maintenance after bathing, so her skin was as white as snow, as clear as the moon, as smooth as satin, and extremely delicate. It was just that it had always been "hidden in the boudoir".

Ye Xiaotian's lazy voice came from the room, "Don't you know it's late autumn now? The door is open, it's cold! "

Hearing this voice, Yu Junting's legs suddenly tightened. If it weren't for her reason that was still controlling her, she would have rushed over and twisted the hateful man's head off his neck.

Yu Junting slowly walked into the room and closed the door. The light in the room was on, and behind the screen was a large wooden bathtub. Ye Xiaotian was lying in the bathtub with his head resting on the towel on the edge of the bathtub. In his right hand was a crystal cup filled with red wine, and he looked at her in a very pretentious manner.

"Why … did you do this?"

Yu Junting forced herself to calm down, wanting to make herself look stronger, but when she asked this question, she still choked with sobs. She had always thought that she was very strong, to the point that she was immune to all poisons, but Ye Xiaotian's poison still hurt her.

It wasn't until these choked and trembling words came out, and tears quickly filled her eyes that she realized that she could be so helpless. Her martial arts, her status, her power, her army, everything was useless at this moment. She had never been as weak as she was right now …

Ye Xiaotian suddenly sat up straight, the water splashed forward, and the fog became even thicker. His face was faintly discernible in the fog, but it couldn't hide the anger in his eyes, "You ask me why? I also want to know what you, who played me in the palm of your hand with such a small trick, want to make use of me and those simple mountain people to do for you? "

Yu Junting's delicate body trembled, and she said in shock, "What did you say?"

Ye Xiaotian sneered, "Do you remember telling me how to identify the secret passage mechanism you built and how to use it? Unfortunately, when I went to see you this morning, I found one in your study. I didn't expect to hear something that I shouldn't have heard … "

Yu Junting's face suddenly turned pale. Only now did she know what the problem was. So … it was because she had lost her composure in a moment of complacency and had spouted nonsense. Coincidentally, it had been heard by Ye Xiaotian, and he … had immediately retaliated.

"It's not like that, I just …" Yu Junting panicked, and explained with some embarrassment, "Have you never boasted in front of your trusted aides? I just …. I didn't really mean that, I have no ill intentions towards you …. "

The usually calm Eldest Miss Yu was at a loss, and weakly explained to Ye Xiaotian. But Ye Xiaotian, who had been fooled by her tricks, was in a fit of anger, and couldn't bear to listen.

Ye Xiaotian sneered, "Official Yu, stop acting. Your weakness, pitifulness, it's all an act. I think, the first time I saw you at Mt. Mercury, is the real you? Arrogant, despotic, cunning, vicious …. "

Yu Junting stared at him in a daze, and couldn't say a word. Ye Xiaotian sneered, and suddenly stared into her eyes, and asked with some doubt, "How did you know my identity?"

Yu Junting's heart turned, and she lowered her head, faintly saying, "I didn't know in the beginning. I saw you kill the children of five noble families, and although I felt that you were a little reckless, I admired you from the bottom of my heart. To make you my trusted aide, I naturally had to understand your background, so I sent people to investigate you … "

Up until now, she still hadn't mentioned Yang Yinglong. If Ye Xiaotian found out that she was still hiding something, he was afraid that there would be another wave of nameless anger. But … everyone had their own secrets and difficulties. She was the leader of the clan, and this was a responsibility that surpassed everything else. Things that couldn't be said, in the end, couldn't be said.

Ye Xiaotian frowned, "What's wrong with my resume? How did you find out about this? "

Yu Junting said in a low voice, "Of course there's no problem with your identity, but my people found that there were more than a dozen loyal and devoted death warriors by your side. From their appearance and speech, they were clearly people from the mountains. Logically, as a low-level official from the Central Plains, there's no reason for you to recruit these people to work for you, and moreover, they're loyal and devoted to you … "

Ye Xiaotian took a sip of wine, and sneered, "You're really meticulous."

Yu Junting paused, and then continued, "In addition, when you went to Gedore's troops to mediate, I found that they were too obedient to you. Logically, these wild and unruly mountain barbarians shouldn't be so obedient to you. It's too illogical, so I carefully investigated, and …"

As Ye Xiaotian listened to her narrate the process of discovering his true identity, he secretly shivered in his heart, "Although I've been careful in all aspects, it seems that I've still revealed a lot of flaws. Fortunately, there's no need for me to continue hiding my identity, otherwise I really should be more cautious in my actions."

Speaking to this point, Yu Junting's voice paused slightly, and then she continued, "After knowing your true identity, I had the idea of borrowing your power, but …"

Yu Junting raised her head, and said with grief and indignation, "I did use you, but I didn't have the intention to harm you. Everything I did was for the Yu family, but it didn't harm you in the slightest! Why … why are you so cruel, taking away everything from me! "

Ye Xiaotian sneered, "It seems like you're in the right? I deserve to be teased by you? If I hadn't discovered your secret, can you guarantee that when there's a need for a large number of sacrifices in the future, you wouldn't scheme for my people to block the disaster for you just because you cherish the descendants of the Yu family?

That's right, everything you've done up until now is exactly what I need, but this doesn't mean I deserve to be deceived and used by you! Since I've been used by you, I have the right to choose not to be used anymore! Since I know you have ulterior motives, of course, I have to immediately rope in the Zhang family, otherwise I won't be able to suppress a local snake like you who has become a demon! "

Yu Junting finally understood, just like how she had coincidentally learned of Ye Xiaotian's secret, Ye Xiaotian had also accidentally learned of her secret. No one likes to be used by others, even if it's harmless to oneself, especially a person like him who had achieved success at a young age. After learning the truth, he naturally became even more angry.

Thinking of this, Yu Junting really had a feeling of wanting to cry but having no tears. She was thinking that if she had a frank and honest discussion with Ye Xiaotian after she found out his secret identity, wouldn't it be much better for them to work together?

Unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret in this world, Yu Junting could only brace herself and mumble, "Then … then what do you want to do to me now?"

Ye Xiaotian coldly said, "Everything I want, Zhang Yutong will obediently give it to me, why should I continue to foolishly be used by you, Great General Yu? I don't want to do anything to you, now the one who decides your life and death, is Zhang Yutong. "

Yu Junting gazed at Ye Xiaotian through the mist on the water, her expression even more helpless, even more desolate. But when she had just walked into this room, because her heart was like dead ashes, her eyes were dim and without light, but now, her pair of eyes had gradually regained their vigor.

Ye Xiaotian's words were very cold, very heartless, but his words just now had already revealed too much meaning, other people might not be able to sense it, but as intelligent as Great General Yu, how could he not be able to sense it?

It was a pity that Big Elder Ye, who was closing his eyes and putting on an act, did not see this scene. He was thinking, "Beg me, beg me! Quickly kneel down and beg me! That time at the Mercury Mountain, you forced me to kneel, you didn't think that retribution would come so quickly, right? "
