Hou's daughter, she is cold and sassy

Chapter 55

Yun Qingxiu swiftly changed into a black outfit, and while the guards were on shift, she leaped out of the Hou Mansion with light work.

The mountain behind Xicheng is considered to be the most remote mountain in Kyoto, so it stretches for thousands of miles without end. Few people set foot there, giving the space for vegetation to grow freely.

Most of the trees inside are towering ancient trees, which cover the sun and clouds, and you can hardly see your fingers at night.And the shrubs are much higher than usual, which is very convenient for beasts to hide, so it is also called "Death Forest".

According to the cryptic guidance along the way, she has gone deep into the hinterland of the forest.Shrouded in the vast mist, the outlines of the three people gradually became clear. Jing Hong Jing Ying was tied to a tree, and beside them stood a woman in black with a straw in her mouth.

When she approached, the woman spat out the straw and looked at her carefully. "You are the eldest lady of the Zhongyihou Mansion?" The woman's voice was hoarse, and it could be said that it was not pleasant at all.

"That's right," her voice was as clear as Wang Lengquan, "What are your conditions?"

"You beat me first!" The woman's ghostly steps moved to Yun Qingxiu's side almost instantly.Yun Qingxiu clenched the dagger tightly in his hand, and stabbed towards the opponent's neck.

The woman's body leaned back, and at the same time, her toes suddenly exerted force, and she turned directly behind Yun Qingxiu, and twisted her left wrist with lightning speed.

A piercing pain spread from the wrist to all the limbs in an instant, "Hiss—" she frowned tightly.The woman's hoarse voice sounded again: "It's not fun to play with hidden weapons, my sister doesn't like it!"

Immediately, as soon as the woman exerted force, the silver needle in Yun Qingxiu's hand was deeply stuck into her thigh by the woman. "Oh!" Yun Qingxiu's body twitched, and she hummed in pain.The woman smiled strangely, holding her hand all the way down...

Yun Qingxiu was in a cold sweat from the pain, and fought with her elbows, but was held tightly by the woman. "Weak, really weak! You are not as good as your two little maids."

The woman smiled, but secretly exerted herself. "Crack!" The crisp sound made Yun Qingxiu tremble again, and she could clearly feel that the bones had been misplaced.

The woman slammed her back and threw her heavily to the ground. "Miss!" Jinghong and Jingying were extremely distressed but helpless.

Then, the woman stepped on Yun Qingxiu's right shoulder and stared at her condescendingly: "It's really strange, you are clearly weaker than an ant, but Madam still sent me to test it out. It's a pity Madam didn't give me the right to kill you. It's just that if Madam is in a bad mood next time, I have pity on you for being so beautiful!"

The woman sneered contemptuously, and turned around: "The so-called Miss Hou's Mansion, but that's all..." Yun Qingxiu stared closely at the woman's going away figure, secretly thinking about it.

Jing Hong Jingying struggled to break free from the rope, and helped Yun Qingxiu up.Jing Hong wept and said: "Miss, it's all because of the servant girl. Originally, Yun Qingwu's person had already been killed by us, but at that time another figure flashed past the Hou's mansion. Jing Ying said that there is no need to chase after him and he should take care of the young lady first. It's all because the servant wants to investigate carefully, but I didn't expect that the other party had planned it early in the morning, and even made the young lady suffer..."

"It's okay," she said calmly.Coincidentally, this incident made her understand how far she is still far behind, "Compared with her, how different are you?"

Jinghong rushed to answer: "It's not too big, it's just that she cheated and led us here on purpose, and caught us with a trap!"

Yun Qingxiu lifted the hem of her skirt, and under the faint moonlight, the scar that spread from her thigh to her calf was bleeding continuously, and the whole leg was covered with blood so that there was hardly a single piece of fair skin visible.

Jinghong cried again: "Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Jing Ying watched and secretly pinched the back of her hand, as if only the pain could wake her up, otherwise she really wanted to fight that woman to the death, even if she didn't want to die.

Yun Qingxiu shook her head again, and didn't even blink her eyes when she was dealing with the wound, as if she didn't feel any pain: "It's none of your business. Who does she belong to?"

"There is only one lady in the Tiansheng Dynasty, and that is Mrs. Yunjin from Yunjin Palace." Jinghong said.

"Why don't I have any impression?" Yun Qingxiu's eyes were cold.

Jinghong lowered his eyes and explained: "It's like this. Yunjin Palace has no intersection with our Shili Xiuchunfang. Although we have information about Yunjin Palace in our intelligence pavilion, they are all read by slaves and Jingying, and they have not been reported to Miss. .”

Yun Qingxiu wiped the blood from her legs, her eyes darkened: "Tell me about Yunjin Palace."

Jinghong nodded and said: "Lady Yunjin is also a strange woman, she founded Yunjin Palace nine years ago, and even selected four loyal women as the four guardians.

Among them, the most powerful one is Yin Linglong, the girl Madam Yunjin accidentally rescued, and she is also the protector who has the best relationship with Madam Yunjin.

It's just that no one knows why Mrs. Yunjin founded Yunjin Palace, because she never fights for anything, and never interferes with anything, and even everyone doesn't know that Yunjin Palace is right or wrong.But Yunjin Palace has been growing and growing over the years, until a year ago..." Jinghong suddenly froze.

Jingying followed Jinghong's words and continued: "A year ago, Mrs. Yunjin was betrayed by someone she trusted, and she was ambushed on the way back to the palace and was seriously injured and almost died.

After Mrs. Yunjin recovered from her injuries and returned to Yunjin Palace, she used thunderous means to kill Yin Linglong with a single sword on the grounds that the four guardians were ineffective. Four more female protectors were selected.After that it's nothing. "

Jinghong suddenly thought of something and said: "Also, I heard that Mrs. Yunjin likes to wear a long black dress with ink-colored plum flowers embroidered on it, but there are rumors that all men who have seen Mrs. Yunjin's true face died for no apparent reason. "

Yun Qingxiu frowned in thought, and said: "This Mrs. Yunjin is a little strange."

"How do you know?" Jinghong asked suspiciously.

Yun Qingxiu analyzed little by little, unhurriedly: "The status of the four guardians is like the status of you and Jing Ying in Shili Xiuchunfang, and they will not be easily shaken.

Even if the four major protectors made any mistakes, it would not be enough for Mrs. Yunjin to kill one and waste three, let alone it was just a fault of ineffective protectors.It stands to reason that the first thing Mrs. Yunjin should do when she returns to Yunjin Palace is to find the person who betrayed her instead of getting rid of her confidants first, so there must be something hidden about this matter. "

"The lady thinks why Mrs. Yun Jin would do that?" Jing Ying raised her eyes and asked.

Yun Qingxiu had already stopped the bleeding, stood up with Jinghong Jingying's support and said: "Yunjin Palace is such a big force, how can it be so easy to guess the internal conflicts? It's just that we didn't offend the river before, but now that it provokes me, Then you guys list to me the relationship between the major forces in Jianghu, especially which forces Yunjin Palace has good relations with."

"Yes, Miss!" Jing Hong Jing Ying responded in unison.

Loyalty Marquis Mansion.

A black figure entered the main room, knelt on the ground and said, "Master Hou, the young lady just left."
