When the Shangguan Yaohua heard this, it was exactly what he wanted. If he took it seriously and took the opportunity to seek an official position, it would not be easy for him to step down. He hastily agreed. Afterwards, the two of them chatted about all sorts of things. At first, the Shangguan Yaohua had the upper hand and carelessly talked to him. But after a while, he felt that what Ping Yaohua said was beyond his expectations; it was actually quite insightful. At this time, he could not help but feel even more suspicious of Ping Yaohua's identity. Other than admiration, his jealousy grew even stronger.
Enduring a long night alone was the most difficult thing to endure. As they talked, time passed very quickly. In a hurry, it was already midnight. Ping Yaohua closed the book and said, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed early."
The Shangguan Yaohua was in high spirits, he said, "Don't worry. Usually I take care of official business for my Yifu and have not slept properly more than a few times. I'm not particularly tired on the second day. "" Thank you for your hard work, "Ping Yaohua said. "Since you're not born to be a laborer, why force yourself like this? Only a fool would refuse to enjoy such a good life. "
The Shangguan Yaohua was someone who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. He had just had a pleasant conversation with Ping Yaohua, so he did not want to spoil the atmosphere. Moreover, there was nothing she could say to refute his words, so she smiled and said, "That's right, it makes sense." She also changed her clothes and got on the bed. She stretched her body and pretended to close her eyes, pretending to be exhausted. However, as soon as the candle went out, his eyes suddenly opened wide. He quietly looked at the darkness in front of him and thought, "It's not difficult to endure the night. At worst, I'll just have to change my position to make myself more comfortable. "
Reality proved that in the end, living comfortably and enjoying life could not achieve great things. Sitting by the oil lamp with a book open in front of him, it was still possible to sit alone until dawn. But if he changed into a sleeping gown, extinguished the candle, covered himself with a quilt and curled up comfortably in bed, no matter how strong his willpower was, he could not stop his eyelids from fighting and his consciousness from blurring. Finally, he did not know how long it was before his eyelids completely closed together and he fell into a deep sleep.
Because he was worried about something, he kept seeing Ping Yaohua in his sleep. In a flash, he was poisoned in the soup and coincidentally bumped into her. She wanted to warn Nangong Xue. The corridor suddenly became incomparably long, with no end in sight. Along the way, they met many guests of all shapes and sizes, but they never saw Nangong Xue. The scene in the dream was hazy and unclear. In the end, he couldn't even remember the original intention.
Not long after, he dreamt that Nangong Xue had been kidnapped. The kidnapper had sent a letter to the Prince Fu's residence, and he had gone there alone. The kidnapper had changed from the Seven Malevolent Demons to Ping Gongzi. However, at this time, he was dressed very strangely. His face was painted red and green. After saying a few words, his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared. Just as he was about to save the Nangong Xue, he saw a knife stabbed into his heart. The handle of the knife was in the Nangong Xue's hand.
He didn't sleep well that night. When he opened his eyes again, he was finally back to reality. The sky was bright and the morning sun shone in through the window. Shangguan Yaohua didn't feel the least bit of warmth. He thought about how he had made a solemn vow last night, and how he had failed to live up to expectations. He hated himself bitterly.
He glanced sideways and saw that the bed next to him was empty. For a moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. No matter what kind of evil intentions that Ping Gongzi had, he had enough to deal with right now. Before he could think of a punishment, the door was pushed open. Ping Gongzi walked in with a smile on his face. Seeing his stunned face, it was as if he had seen a ghost. He laughed and said, "Xiongdi, you woke up early. Did you sleep well last night? "
Shangguan Yaohua coldly said, "So-so. Where have you been? Why didn't you wake me up? "Ping Gongzi laughed and said," I saw that Xiongdi was sleeping soundly, so I didn't dare to disturb you. As the saying goes, disturbing other people's sleep is a sin! But since you are sleeping so soundly, it shows that you are very tired. It is not a bad thing for you to rest a little more. "Shangguan Yaohua said," This is my business, I don't need other people to interfere. What time is it right now? "
Ping Gongzi said, "Actually, it is not late at all. It's just that you are used to staying up late and I am used to waking up early. It is summer and autumn, the sun rises earlier. I think that Miss has not woken up yet. "
Shangguan Yaohua humphed coldly, but he had accidentally overslept. It was his own fault, so there was no point in blaming other people. He swallowed his anger and said in his heart, "You are lucky once, but you can't always have your wish fulfilled. Tonight … I might as well follow the example of my predecessors and prepare a dagger in advance. If I dare to sleep again, I won't let myself off easily. "
Soon after, the three of them set out on their journey. Shangguan Yaohua was paying full attention to Ping Gongzi, so toward Nangong Xue, he only gave her a cursory reply. This was the first time he felt that she talked so much nonsense that he almost scolded her directly. His attitude was extremely impatient.
Nangong Xue sensed his coldness, so her mood was not as high as before. Instead, she chatted and joked with Ping Gongzi more. Shangguan Yaohua's jealousy and hatred turned into anger; he placed all his bets on the success of this matter. He thought, "Ah Xue, just wait and see. Wait until I find the evidence, I will make you understand how much humiliation I have endured for the past few days! "
That night, Shangguan Yaohua indeed prepared a dagger. The tip of the dagger touched the flesh. But no matter how cruel a person was, he would not easily have the intention to kill. Shangguan Yaohua's heart softened, he could not bear to stab the dagger. No matter how strong the resistance in his heart was, in the end he could not fight against the surging tide of drowsiness. As soon as his eyelids closed, he fell asleep.
The next day, his heart was full of resentment, but because Ping Gongzi was by his side, he had to force a smile to deal with him. He could not help but suspect that he had been drugged by the sleeping incense. But after a careful examination of the room, he did not find the slightest bit of residue, the smell was also normal. The so-called sleeping incense was nothing but a self-deceiving joke. In the end, it was his own laziness that caused him to fall asleep.
He did not know how much time had passed, but every day there was nothing out of the ordinary. Naturally there was no progress in his investigation. Although Shangguan Yaohua did not want to admit it, he understood that this was within his expectations. What kind of person was Ping Gongzi? If he set his heart to it, naturally not even a drop of water would leak out. How could he so easily see through the clues? If he only had this little bit of skill, how could he be worthy of his attention?
As the saying goes, times are different. It was another sleepless night. The moon hung high in the sky, its clear light scattered everywhere. Shangguan Yaohua opened his eyes and realized that it was still the middle of the night. He habitually raised his hand to the side, but there was no one there. In a split second he quivered and sat up. He silently sat there for half a day, but did not hear any sound. As if possessed, he did not give it much thought. He immediately put on his clothes and slowly walked forward, paying attention to his surroundings.
This room was on the second floor. He glanced at the open window at the side. No wonder the moonlight was so bright. He leaned over and looked down. The courtyard under the moonlight was unobstructed. He saw two shadows standing sneakily in the corner. One was a short man in purple, and the other was Ping Gongzi. The two of them were whispering to each other in low voices. He did not know what they were talking about. Not even a word could be heard.
But if they wanted to talk, they would not pay attention to others. Perhaps this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He only hesitated for a moment before his competitive spirit won out. He immediately turned around and walked down the stairs. Every step was extremely light.
When he reached the courtyard, he intentionally walked away from the moonlight to prevent his swaying shadow from being noticed. He saw a hidden spot and crawled over on all fours. When his entire body was hidden behind a tree trunk, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Just then, he heard the man in purple say in a low voice, "Gongzi, everything in the manor has been arranged. We are just waiting for the big fish to take the bait. Master sent me to ask if everything on your side … is going well? "
Ping Gongzi laughed, "Is there a need to ask? What kind of person am I? With me personally taking action, all kinds of problems will be easily solved. Tell father to wait for my good news. You people also need to be more nimble. Take care of those bastards along the way as soon as possible to prevent too many people from gossiping. Ay, no matter how much they struggle, they can't escape from my grasp. This is the difference in strength. "His voice was sharp and thin, very different from his usual calm and elegant voice. The Shangguan Yaohua listened and was secretly amazed.
The man in purple said, "If that is the case, I congratulate Gongzi first. I hope that you will make a great contribution to the manor and the Hierarch. But Master does not understand. With the difference in martial arts, you can just capture them and tie them up. Why do you need to spend so much effort? They did not suspect Gongzi's identity, did they? "
Ping Gongzi said, "I played with them more, to increase the fun of the game. In any case, the final result will be the same. But I can see that little girl is convinced, but that fellow who lives with me is suspicious. He keeps an eye on me all day long, and he does not find it troublesome. Since I was little until now, I have never been bullied like this. It is quite fresh. "The man in purple said," Nobody dares to offend Tian Yan! If that fellow dares to be impudent again, do you want Xiaoren to deal with him for you? "
Ping Gongzi said, "No, although he is meddlesome, I think he is very cute. If anyone dares to touch him without my permission, I will break his dog legs! Alright, I guarantee that the person Father wants will be delivered safely. You go back quickly and help Father look after his delicate guest. Persuade him to let go as soon as possible. A wise man submits to circumstances. If there is nothing important in the future, don't come and bother me. "The man in purple said," Yes. This humble one will take his leave. "
He had just turned around when the Shangguan Yaohua suddenly felt something in front of his eyes. He saw that the man's sleeve was engraved with the symbol 'Blood-soaked Protection Seal'. Under the moonlight, it looked even more sinister. Just now, the two people's voices were very soft. Although he had pricked up his ears, he could only hear a few words. But this short sentence was enough to make his heart jump.
Listening to Ping Gongzi's words, he had indeed prepared an enormous conspiracy, and now he was luring them to jump into it. When he saw that the man was a subordinate of the Seven Evil Spirits, he realized that Ping Gongzi was in cahoots with this demon. Then it was not strange that he wanted to kill these two people.
The only thing he could not figure out was the 'Master' and 'Gongzi' mentioned by that man. If Ping Gongzi was that 'Master's' son, then what was the relationship between that old man and the Seven Evils Demons? According to what he knew, although the Seven Evil Spirits' martial arts were superior, their influence was extensive, and in recent years there were countless people who came to join them. But the only disciple that he truly acknowledged was the Blood Demon Young Master 'Ling Shuangjin'.
Before he could clear his doubts, Ping Gongzi suddenly turned his heel and lightly tapped on the ground. His body leaped up, and like a graceful arc, he jumped in through the open window. This unforeseen event happened too quickly. Shangguan Yaohua was still standing in the courtyard. Even if he immediately rushed upstairs, it would be too late.
Ping Gongzi was very smart. Seeing that he was not on the bed, he would definitely guess that Ping Gongzi was eavesdropping. If he were to interrogate him, the matter would definitely be exposed. But the longer he stayed downstairs, the harder it would be to explain. He did not want Ping Gongzi to get impatient and come downstairs to look for him. If he caught him red-handed, everything would be over. Suppressing his embarrassment, he made up an excuse in his mind and braced himself to go upstairs. Every step he took was like stepping on the tip of a knife, piercing into his heart. Every step he took was like taking one more step into hell.
After climbing the torturous steps with great difficulty, he still wanted to make a last-ditch struggle. Taking advantage of the darkness, he groped his way back to the bed. Unexpectedly, when he pushed open the door, he was met with a dazzling candlelight. It was too late to back out. Ping Gongzi was lying on the bed, fully clothed, with his eyes slightly closed. When he heard the door open, he opened his eyelids slightly, and an emotionless gaze landed on him.
