.

As for Yuchi Pingting herself, her purpose of going to the Golden Carving and Jade Dark Field was different from that of these princes and ministers. She planned to go and see it because of the news about the gold and silver double death hooks, but she was not interested in the Tianjiao Mother Sword and the people behind Tianjiao.

The mystery is not of great interest to her. What she is really looking forward to is to discover the Fire and Ice Jade Toad in this treasure appraisal conference. She hopes that God will give her this surprise.

"What are you thinking about?" Nangong Feiran's gentle voice sounded behind her, and a pair of warm hands tightly wrapped around her soft waist from behind.

The heat of Nangong Feiran's words hit her neck, and Yuchi Pingting felt a shock in her heart. She quickly stretched out her hand to push Nangong Feiran away, but to no avail, but Nangong Feiran hugged her tighter.

"Hehe, Mo Mo also wants a hug from daddy." Mo Mo said in a sweet voice and came closer.

Nangong Feiran let go of his hand, held Mo Mo in his arms, and said jokingly: "Mo Mo, my mother was in a trance just now. What do you think my mother was thinking?" He looked at Yuchi Pingting with a twinkling in his eyes.

A cunning light.

"Hehe, I wouldn't have guessed it. Mom is always so mysterious. They say women's thoughts are the hardest to guess. Dad, please don't embarrass me." Mo Mo said pretending to be profound.

Not only Nangong Feiran, but also Yuchi Pingting was shocked by Mo Mo's words...

Mo Mo looked at the way the two adults looked at him and said innocently: "I really don't know..."

Nangong Feiran then laughed loudly, and then said to Mo Mo with a smile: "Dad, let me tell you, mother is worried about whether to give Mo Mo a little brother or a little sister." Nangong Feiran looked very serious.

.

"Nangong Feiran, go to hell!" Yuchi Pingting glared at Nangong Feiran angrily.

"Mo Mo, look, mother is so fierce." Nangong Feiran said jokingly while holding back his laughter.

"If you ask me, let's just say it's the little sister. The little brother is not as fun as the little sister." Mo Mo said seriously.

"Yuchi Mo, you are tired of living, aren't you?" Yuchi Pingting took Mo Mo from Nangong Feiran's arms and said angrily: "You damn kid, you actually teamed up with outsiders to bully your mother!"

"Huh? Daddy is not an outsider." Mo Mo said in confusion, rubbing his head.

"Uh...and the little sister is not for fun, but for love and care." Yuchi Pingting was made to laugh and cry by the two men, one big and one small.

Nangong Feiran said proudly: "Mo Mo, did you hear that? Mom is planning to give you another little sister, but you have to love little sister Hua well." He winked at Mo Mo.

Yuchi Pingting was speechless immediately. She had noticed that this little brat Yuchi Mo was now on the same side as Nangong Feiran, so she simply stopped talking to them and closed her eyes to rest.

The spring breeze made the horses gallop, and the sound of Nangong Fei's hearty laughter and the tender homophony of Mo Mo could be heard from time to time in the mighty motorcade, which made the people in the other carriages unable to help but have wild thoughts.

The convoy was peaceful along the way, and there was no trouble. However, after all, there were so many people at once, and it was difficult to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although the emperor sent Zuo Cheng, the minister of chamberlain, to arrange all this, Zuo Cheng was still overwhelmed by these gentlemen.

It made them feel dizzy. But fortunately, according to the plan, they still had two days to travel to Yong'an Pass.

When the sky darkened, the motorcade had just passed Chifengling. Zuo Cheng and two guards were coming towards them and said to the three princes: "There is an inn ahead. I have made arrangements. We will spend the night in that inn tonight.

Let’s travel again tomorrow.”

"There are no villages or shops in Chifengling. It is sparsely populated and has always been a place frequented by strong men. Why is there suddenly an inn? Mr. Zuo, have you tried to find out more about it?" Eighth Prince Nangong Quansheng asked cautiously.

It turns out that Chifengling was originally called Guifengling because a coup had occurred here, but after being suppressed in time, all the rebels were buried alive here. Therefore, the yin energy was very strong and it was often haunted. The residents of several villages before and after it were affected by the evil spirit.

They all moved away one after another, so it was reasonable for the Eighth Prince to be suspicious of the sudden appearance of an inn in this deserted place.

"Back to the Eighth Prince." Zuo Cheng said respectfully: "Wei Chen has already inquired clearly. Because this place has become a must-pass for business travelers in recent years, there is an inn. It is for this reason that Guifengling is

It was changed to Chifengling again, and people have been invited to perform rituals here. It is no longer as scary as before." Although Zuo Cheng said this, he didn't know it in his heart. The reason why he said this was to reassure these gentlemen.

But on the other side, I was complaining. Originally, according to the

His plan was to pass through this place during the day and reach the town ahead before dark and rest in the town, because even though this place had improved a lot in recent years, he still did not dare to joke with the lives of the princes, even if there was no

It's not fun to encounter ghosts and robbers on the road, but who knew that these gentlemen were picky and picky along the way. There was no way to follow the arrangements they made in advance, so they could only stay in a small inn near Chifengling.

Stay.

"Anyway, there is no better way. Everyone, please be careful tonight and be cautious in everything. Let's make do with it for the night and hit the road early tomorrow." The sixth prince, Nangong Quanyi, said.

At this time, there was really no other way. The group had no choice but to stay at the Ping'an Inn at the foot of Chifengling. But when they mentioned Chifengling, some voices in the crowd began to complain, and some whispered about the rumors they had heard. In short,

The idea of ​​staying one night at the foot of Chifengling aroused great repercussions among the crowd.

Especially Princess Zixuan, when she heard that this place was haunted, she couldn't stop making noises. After some persuasion from the Eleventh Prince and Zuo Cheng, she calmed down.

From a distance, this Pingan Inn looks like a dark tomb. The few candlelights that occasionally shine through are more like dark will-o'-the-wisps, adding a touch of terror to this already deserted inn.

Yuchi Pingting and Nangong Feiran got out of the car. Nangong Feiran hugged Mo Mo, and the two girls Xiuxiu and Xiaotao came over quickly. Yuchi Pingting could clearly feel their trembling bodies. It turned out that they were in the carriage of several maids just now.

Here, someone told terrifying rumors about this place, which frightened these timid girls.

The owner of the inn and the waiter came out to greet him immediately. The owner was a middle-aged man in his forties, and the son looked to be in his twenties. He was very strong and they both seemed to be honest and honest.

The boss had already accepted Zuo Cheng's deposit before, and knew that the people who came to invest in the store were young men from several wealthy families, and Zuo Cheng was their housekeeper, so he rushed out to greet them.

But after seeing the crowd, he couldn't help but look embarrassed, and quietly walked to Zuo Cheng and said: "Butler Zuo, I'm afraid the shop can't accommodate these... people like this."

But the Eleventh Prince spoke first: "It seems that someone else lives in this inn?" As he spoke, he looked at the horse pile on the side of the inn, where three strong horses were tied and grazing.

Hearing this, Zuo Cheng hurriedly said: "Go back to the Eleventh Emperor... Young Master, they had already moved in when I came, and I have booked the other rooms in the store, but I'm afraid I can't share one room per person, and I'll have to suffer a lot."

Sir, two people share a room, while the other servants have to squeeze in."

The eleventh prince frowned, obviously dissatisfied, and the sixth prince Nangong Quanyi hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "It's just one night, eleventh brother, let's just make do with it, it's not easy for people on the road, let's all be accommodating to each other, not to mention

They think we're staying here, so we can't let the store drive people away."

So under Zuo Cheng's arrangement, several gentlemen went to the store to rest, while the other servants, led by Xiao'er, set up the carriage.

The boss led the group into the store and sat down. He personally poured tea for the guests and introduced everything about this place non-stop.

After entering the store, Yuchi Pingting realized that the store looked quite small. There were about a dozen tables on the first floor, and the second and third floors looked like guest rooms.

There were two men sitting on the innermost table. They glanced at them a few times when they came in. Yuchi Pingting looked at the two men carefully. They were both wearing thick cloaks, drinking heavily, and carrying

The knife looks like a charlatan, think about it

Why would ordinary people come here to a place like Chifengling? Although it is said to be a place that business travelers must pass through, most businessmen have planned to pass here during the day and no longer spend the night in Chifengling.

Guests don't care about this.

Sitting on a table not far from the two men was a person who could not be identified as male or female, because this person was wearing a bamboo hat and a veil. He was just drinking wine alone. His red clothes made people mistakenly think he was a man.

He is a man, but looking at his slender jade fingers holding the wine glass, which are as white as frost, and his typical green fingers and willow palms, people would think he is a woman.

Yuchi Pingting and Nangong Feiran sat down at a table, the Liu family brothers and sisters also sat at their table, and Changsun Wuque sat at another table with the three princes and Princess Zixuan.

Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu, together with Yuchi Pingting's two maids, sat next to them, while Nangong Fuyi sat with several other imperial doctors.

The boss named Ji hurriedly called the kitchen to serve the food quickly.

Yuchi Pingting and Yi Xiaoyao exchanged glances. From Yi Xiaoyao's eyes, it could be seen that the other three people in this shop were definitely not ordinary people. According to Yuchi Pingting, this inn called Ping'an would be absolutely safe tonight.

Can't get up.

"I heard that there are not only ghosts but also strong men in Chifengling. I don't know what we will encounter tonight." Liu Qingfeng said calmly.

"Huh? Is there really a ghost?" Mo Mo asked curiously.

"Kill Buddhas when you meet them, kill ghosts when you meet ghosts!" Nangong Feiran said firmly. He has never believed in evil, and his experience is that all ghosts are people pretending to be gods, and he hates these people who pretend to be gods and ghosts.

.

"Haha, General Ranger is really cool." Liu Qingfeng said with a smile.

At this time, the store owner came over with wine and said: "Guests, please rest assured. Since the store opened, we haven't seen any strange things happen. Those ghosts and so on, no matter they are real or fake, I will burn paper money for them every day to protect them."

My business is prosperous and my people and wealth are safe, so if the guests are worried about anything, they can burn the paper money." As he said this, he already served wine to everyone.

Yuchi Pingting looked around, and sure enough, directly opposite the store door, there was a board supported on the wall, with a statue of Guan Gong on it. There were three sticks of incense inserted in the incense burner in front of Guan Gong, and green smoke curled up. It had obviously been lit not long ago.

Hearing what the boss said, the Eleventh Prince laughed angrily and said disdainfully: "I don't believe this. I would like to see what is on the Chifeng Ridge? Sixth Brother, Eighth Brother, are you interested?

Go find out?" He said and glanced at the two of them.

The Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince just smiled, obviously not taking the Eleventh Prince's proposal seriously.

Princess Zixuan glared at Nangong Feiran and Yuchi Pingting. For Yuchi Pingting, she had enough reasons to hate her, but for Nangong Feiran, she was more resentful because she could not get this person, especially

Seeing how close he and Yuchi Pingting were, and how he held Yuchi Pingting's little bastard in his arms like a son and teased him, made her feel even more uncomfortable. However, the Eleventh Prince told her before going out,

He had important things to do during this trip, so he agreed to take her out without allowing her to lose her temper at will, so she had to endure it secretly.

Princess Zixuan wanted to give up on Nangong Feiran since she was humiliated by Nangong Feiran and Yuchi Pingting at the banquet of the eleventh prince in Xianxia Pavilion. But people are generally the same.

She thought it was precious, but after knowing that Nangong Feiran was not interested in her, she now fell in love with Liu Qingfeng. This Liu Qingfeng was a popular figure around her father. Not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, he also had outstanding literary talent, and his appearance was naturally impeccable.

He also came from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it suited him perfectly.

Princess Zixuan couldn't help but look at Liu Qingfeng a few more times, but she found that Liu Qingfeng was holding a tea cup in one hand, and his eyes were wandering on Yuchi Pingting from time to time, and there seemed to be rolling eyes in her eyes. Princess Zixuan

I felt sulky by myself again.

Princess Zixuan was not the only one who noticed Liu Qingfeng's eyesight, but also Nangong Feiran, who was very jealous.

He also saw the deep affection in Liu Qingfeng's eyes when he looked at Yuchi Pingting. Fortunately, Yuchi Pingting was just feeding Mo Mo snacks and ignored him, so the anger in her heart did not explode.

After a while, the dishes came out. Today was not like the previous times. The gentlemen were no longer picky. Maybe in such a wild and gloomy place, everyone just wanted to make do with it and survive until dawn.

Well. Nangong Feiran, on the other hand, showed his kindness to Yuchi Pingting and Mo Mo Jiacai in an exaggerated way. In the eyes of outsiders, he was definitely a model husband and good father. However, Yuchi Pingting was frightened by his exaggerated attentiveness. This man also

What are you doing? But when you see his tender and sweet eyes, you immediately understand that he is just doing it for others to see, so he just enjoys it without saying anything.
