Main Text Chapter 1795: End of Life Approaching

After leaving, Xu Tangran, who had left the inner palace, greeted Feihong, Lin Pingping and others in the square of the front hall, and at the same time gestured to the inner palace viewing platform. The women then realized that Miao Yi was standing there watching them, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed, suspecting that their mad and unruly appearance when they were having fun had caught the attention of the governor.

If he didn't get rid of these people, how could he bring his wife back to have fun? Xu Tangran smiled, took Xue Linglong's hand and left.

"This Xu Tangran!" Miao Yi, who was standing on the viewing platform, also shook his head and smiled, and then went downstairs.

After returning to the house, seeing Yun Zhiqiu sitting in front of the dressing table with a sad look, Miao Yi, who let Qian'er take off her fur coat, walked behind Yun Zhiqiu, supported her shoulders with both hands, and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Is it because you didn't see Li Hua, or because the people in Yuexing Palace gave you a cold look?"

Neither, Yun Zhiqiu shook her head, stared at herself in the mirror and asked: "Niu Er, am I getting uglier and uglier?"

Miao Yi was stunned and stared at Yun Zhiqiu in the mirror. "Isn't she pretty? I guess there are a lot of men out there who are thinking about your beauty after seeing you."

"Stop being so rude!" Yun Zhiqiu rolled her eyes and bumped Miao Yi with her elbow. She was not happy after hearing the sweet words, but raised her hand and pointed at the corner of her eye, "I have a wrinkle here, didn't you notice it?"

Wrinkles? Miao Yi really didn't pay attention to this. He turned to Yun Zhiqiu's front, held her pretty face with both hands, and looked in the direction she pointed. He saw that there were indeed some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "What a big deal, isn't it just a few fine lines? Is it worth you being so sad?"

Men will never understand how much women care about their appearance. Yun Zhiqiu not only didn't let it go, but said more sadly, "Niu Er, tell the truth, don't perfunctory me, am I old?"

"Haha!" Miao Yi couldn't help laughing, and shook his head and said, "A fine line like this makes me old, how embarrassed are you to let Lin Pingping feel? Don't say this in front of Lin Pingping in the future, otherwise I don't know how she will whine in front of Zhao Qing."

Yun Zhiqiu suddenly stood up, threw himself into his arms, hugged his neck, and buried his head in his shoulders, "Niu Er, I'm a little scared."

Seeing this, Qian'er immediately left the room and closed the door.

Miao Yi stroked Yun Zhiqiu's back, "We've been through so many ups and downs, what's there to be afraid of? Everything is up to human efforts."

Yun Zhiqiu shook her head gently, "That's not what I'm talking about. I'm much older than you. When you're in your prime, I'll be an old woman. Will you still like me then?"

Miao Yi's mood sank. It turned out that he was worried about this. He patted her back and said, "Don't worry. I'm sure I'll age faster than you. You don't even look at the time you spend on maintaining your appearance. I can't even flatter you."

"You men are different from us women. It doesn't matter if you're a little older. Maybe it's a good thing." Yun Zhiqiu muttered, a little sadly, "When my appearance is no longer bright, will you find me annoying? Will you be annoyed when you see me? Will you not tolerate me getting angry again? Will you lose your temper with me if you don't like me? I'm scared when I think of the way you might look at me at that time. I feel so choked up." Tears came out when she said this.

Miao Yi didn't expect that a wrinkle would lead to so many associations from her. He turned his head and kissed her neck, and comforted her softly: "Qiu Jie'er, don't worry, you will always be my wife. You are the only woman in the world who can be angry with me. I promise you can always be angry with me in this life. From the day I married you, Miao Yi has always been loyal to you and will never regret it in this life!"

Yun Zhiqiu burst into tears and laughed, feeling warm and happy in her heart. She hugged him tightly, "Really?"

"It couldn't be more true. Don't worry. Since you cherish your appearance so much, I will try my best to find something to keep you young forever."

"Niu Er, I am so happy to marry you in this life... Where are you touching?" Yun Zhiqiu, who was talking about love, suddenly looked up and glared, and grabbed Shun's hand on her butt with one hand.

Miao Yi said seriously: "I have to check to see if there are any other wrinkles."

"Shameless...ah!" Yun Zhiqiu threw his hand away and turned away, but with a cry of surprise, he was pulled back by Miao Yi and walked to the couch.

Yun Zhiqiu bit his lip with silver teeth and looked at him affectionately, his eyes were watery and a little clingy...

Just a few days later, a prostitute in a certain Liulianfang was late to come out after receiving a customer. When the people in the brothel went in, they saw her naked and bloody on the couch, her head and body were separated, and she died with her eyes open. As for the customer, no one knew where she was.

After the Tianting people stationed in Tianjie sent people to check, they just checked casually. Seeking justice for such a dead person seriously would make those who trampled on him unhappy, so it was better to have less trouble than more, so they hastily wrapped him with a straw mat and threw him out and buried him.

However, after all, he killed someone in Tianjie and in a brothel in the government office, which inevitably caused some people to talk about it.

After much discussion, there were only a few possible causes of death: one was that she met a perverted guest; two was that her former enemy was seeking revenge; three was that the people above her had stepped on her to the bottom and did not want her to have a chance to turn things around so they killed her directly; and four was that she had offended someone she should not have offended.

The first and second are easily eliminated. The risk of killing people on Tianjie is too great. It is not worth taking the risk for people who have already reached this point. The third article is also impossible. He has stepped on people to this point. Isn't it just torture and humiliation? If he wanted to kill him, he would have killed him long ago. So the biggest possibility is the fourth one.

Combined with the recent spouting words of the deceased, many people have made suspicions, but there is no evidence for this kind of thing.

Yun Zhiqiu, who was in charge of helping the deceased escape, was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately asked Xu Tangran to send someone to find out what was going on. Unexpectedly, Xu Tangran hesitated. Yun Zhiqiu immediately understood what was going on and broke into the quiet room. In the room, he found Miao Yi who was practicing.

"A woman died unexpectedly in Liulianfang. Did you send someone to do it?" Yun Zhiqiu asked when they met.

Miao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone couch, said calmly: "People who can't control their mouths will be a burden even if they are saved."

His words were like admitting that he did it. Yun Zhiqiu gritted his teeth and said: "Don't I know that her mouth is hateful? I want to tear her mouth off more than you do, but after all, she was somewhat similar to me back then. Friendship, as for the relationships I have made now, who can guarantee that nothing will happen to me in the future? Now that people are doubting that it was me, what do the ladies you asked me to make friends with think, are they going to feel chilled by me? It's good for you to show your morality to others, but it's not helpful!"

Miao Yi scratched his head and put his feet down, "As for losing his temper, this kind of person can't do anything bad."

"You...this is different from fighting and killing. Relationships are built bit by bit. It is extremely difficult to please others, but a trivial matter is enough to make people hate you. You say it lightly..." Yun Zhiqiu She lost her temper and finally had nothing to do with Miao Yi. In addition, Miao Yi was also doing it for her own good, so she had no reason to hold on to him. In the end, she could only warn me angrily, "If anything like this happens again in the future, please tell me in advance." , otherwise don’t blame me for being rude!”

"Hey! What a rude way to say it, let's hear it."

"I'll castrate you!"

"..."

In a beautiful valley, there are three or two exquisite thatched cottages. A stream meanders between the valleys. On a folding chair on a large stone that is half submerged in the water, Xiahou Tuo sits quietly fishing, and from time to time he pulls a small fish out of the water with his swing.

Wei Shu came from the other side of the thatched cottage, using a small net to carry away a group of small fish in the barrel. After returning, Wei Shu took the fishing rod from the ground, sat next to Xiahou Tuo, and also swung the line into the water to fish.

"Second brother, are you busy?" Xiahou Tuo said calmly.

"The second master is getting ready to cook." Wei Shu, who was sitting cross-legged, stood up immediately, "I'll call the second master over."

Xiahou Tuo pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down. Wei Shu knew that he would be wrong. He looked at him and slowly sat down again.

After catching a small fish, he unhooked it and threw it into the bucket. After throwing the line into the water again, Xiahou Tuofang slowly asked: "Is there anything unusual in various places recently?"

Wei Shu: "The most noisy places are still the same ones, and they are still cleaning down below. Other aspects are basically the same as before."

Xiahou Tuo: "Where is Niu Youde?"

Wei Shu: "There is basically no movement over there. Over the years, except for occasionally going out to patrol the Netherworld, most of the time he has stayed in the capital. It is not clear whether there are any disguised people who sneaked out. It is not easy to arrange there. Regarding manpower, Mr. Liu came to know some things through his colleagues. However, his wife Yun Zhiqiu was more active. Before coming to Xiahou's house this time, she went to Tianmu Palace to see the empress. "

Xiahou Tuo smiled slightly, "This woman is not simple. She is very good at interpersonal communication. She used Juxian Hall to accumulate a lot of financial resources for Niu Youde. Niu Youde has found a good wife!"

Wei Shu nodded. Others didn't know it, but the Xiahou family knew the situation inside Juxian Hall.

Xiahou Tuo was silent for a moment and then said: "After so many years, this Niu Youde has not had any interaction with the Six Paths, which is quite surprising."

Wei Shu: "Either there was an interaction and we didn't notice it, or they were building up strength."

Xiahou Tuo: "If it's the former, it doesn't matter. If it's the latter, we may have underestimated the significance of this Niu Youde."

Wei Shu was a little surprised and said hesitantly: "In my opinion, it is wise for him to keep a low profile and accumulate strength now."

Xiahou Tuo shook his head slightly: "The Liudao side has been too quiet these years. They even restrained some actions and looked like they were trying not to cause trouble. Is it Niu Youde who followed Liudao's trend and kept a low profile, or is Liudao cooperating with Niu You Does dormant virtue cause trouble to Niu Youde? The relationship is worthy of consideration.”

Wei Shu's expression became solemn after hearing this, and he instantly understood what Xiahou Tuo meant. If it was the latter, Niu Youde's influence on the Six Paths might be beyond imagination.

While he was frowning and thinking, he suddenly heard Xiahou Tuo say lightly, "My life is approaching!" (~^~)
