Chapter 9: Encounter under the Moon

Pomegranate seemed to be used to her own girl climbing up the wall while the moon was dark and the wind was high. She stood in the wall and whispered: "Miss, be careful!"

"Go back quickly, I'll go back in a while." Gu Xiangyi waved, turned around and jumped off the wall. The light footsteps fell on the other side of the wall. Pomegranate felt relieved and turned back into the room.

The sky is dark, the night sky is dotted with dim stars, and the moon is crooked like a hook, sprinkling cool moonlight.

Gu Xiangyi gathered his hair bun and didn't care about the strands of hair hanging on his shoulders. He ran to the Ning'an General's Mansion with such force. He ran to the corner gate with a familiarity. The iron gate was still shaking and opened as soon as he pushed it.

When she returned here again, sadness swept over again. Gu Xiangyi moistened her eyes. Before the tears rolled down, she suddenly wiped her sleeves, preventing herself from crying out of nowhere.

The house was burning so badly that there was almost nothing valuable. Gu Xiangyi used the dim moonlight to find a flag of the imperial guards and walked around Ningyuanjiang's room. Gu Xiangyi tried hard to lift the beam, but she overestimated herself and she couldn't lift the beam.

Others don’t know, but she knows that there is a secret passage in her father’s room that you can reach a room by walking under the bronze crane in the door.

Gu Xiangyi had never been to that room because Ning Yuanjiang told him that many secrets were there and he didn't intend to tell them. Those secrets appeared in the world, and I don't know how many powerful people in the court were embarrassed, and how many families were going to be destroyed due to the war.

There are big and small things in this. Maybe it was because of whose daughter who had a relationship with someone before getting married, or maybe it was because of the dog raised by the young master who had scratched an adult's pants. Gu Xiangyi didn't care about these things. She thought that it would be better if she could find some other ones.

A secret, only what I know but don’t know, can be called a handle. If she has a handle in her hand, she will have capital if she wants to use some people or manipulate some people.

She only knew the existence of this place, but she didn't know what was inside. She thought that only her brother and father would come in, and she felt very sad for a moment.

After struggling, Gu Xiangyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally found the half-falling Copper Crane Lord. The neck of the copper crane was broken, making it hard to imagine the tragic situation at that time. The copper system was broken just by shortness, let alone humans.

After opening the secret passage, Gu Xiangyi moved the wooden beams and stones away, looked around and got into the secret room.

The only candle that brought light was tightly protected by her palms, and the faint light reflected on the wall. The smell here was not very good. You can tell at a glance that it had not been opened for a long time. There was a collapsed house and a fire on it. The smell of ash smoke could be smelled below.

A booklet was placed flat on the shelf, and Gu Xiangyi's eyes lit up. He put the candle and went straight to the booklet.

Looking at the words on the booklet, familiar and unfamiliar names flipping in front of you, Gu Xiangyi was shocked. He never expected that the calm capital on the surface would be so dark, and he could not imagine how shameless the opponent would use to win the battlefield.

Ning Yuanjiang did too many things for the emperor. He knew about bad things but never did them. After doing good things, the emperor would not claim his contributions to the public. In the end, he recorded everything in the booklet. He might have thought that he would end up like this, so the booklet was not discovered by the emperor until his death.

As for how the emperor sent people to search for these booklets, Gu Xiangyi could imagine it even though he didn't know it.

He carefully put the booklet up, and Gu Xiangyi returned the same way, but the moment he left the secret passage, he felt the warm wind blowing and the candles were extinguished.

In the darkness, Gu Xiangyi looked at the ruins in front of her. Her years of experience and intuition in practicing martial arts told her that there must be someone not far away, and that person had already set his sights on her.

"Who?" Gu Xiangyi asked after taking a deep breath.

The answer to her was the light moonlight and the breeze blew on her face. The silence felt like Gu Xiangyi was the only one left in the world.

Maybe he was thinking too much? Gu Xiangyi put up a candle, ran away from his father's yard, and walked around the martial arts training ground to the corner gate where he came in.

Before his hand could touch the corner gate, a black shadow jumped from behind. Gu Xiangyi instinctively took two steps back, and subconsciously touched the elephant's waist, where there was no sword.

She forgot that Ning Chu is dead at this moment, so where did Gu Xiangyi use a sword?

He raised his hand and headed straight for the left shoulder of the man in black. In the darkness, she couldn't see the man's facial features clearly, and she didn't know who the man was. He seemed to be a man, and his figure was tall as if covering the clouds and the sun.

After avoiding Gu Xiangyi's attack, the man took her fist and pulled it back hard. She was forced to move closer to his place. With a few simple fists and feet, Gu Xiangyi was already panting.

This body is really not good.

The man gained the upper hand effortlessly, pressing his long legs against the flower bed beside him, directly blocking Gu Xiangyi's retreat and imprisoning her in front of him.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, and the moonlight was shining again, allowing Gu Xiangyi to see clearly what the person opposite looked like.

Just at this glance, the heartbeat seemed to have been missed for half a beat, and Gu Xiangyi almost covered her mouth.

The one who fought with her was Yi Jingxiao, the legitimate son of the Gong of Jingde. I remember that Ning Chu seemed to have a baby marriage with him. That was when she was a child, and she didn't remember it. After she grew up, no one mentioned this again for the reputation of the two families. Only Ning Su would occasionally joke about this matter with her sister who had not yet been married.

The Ning family has nothing to do with the Yi family. Except that both families are officials in court and have a low rank, the old man who has passed away was once a battlefield friend. Ning Chu and his baby were the ones that the two old men said casually at that time. After his death, no one mentioned it. They all thought it was a joke, that's all.

In order to avoid suspicion and reputation, Ning Chu almost never spoke to Yi Jingxiao. If he was really familiar with him, his brother Ning Su was still his brother.

"Who are you?" A cold voice came, and Gu Xiangyi was forced to look at his face carefully again.

I don’t know the purpose of his visit to Ning’s family, and she is not familiar with him, so there is nothing to say. I can’t tell him about rebirth, right?

Seeing that she was silent, Yi Jingxiao asked again: "I know your kung fu, what is your relationship with General Ning'an's mansion?"

He raised his head and the young man in front of him clits his eyebrows and looks bright, and his ink robe made him look a little more careless.

"Go aside." Gu Xiangyi whispered.

"You can go and leave what's in your arms."

Why, he was looking for the book of the Ning family? Gu Xiangyi raised his head in surprise, knowing that he might not be able to escape, so he must have seen everything.

In fact, it was not the case. When Yi Jingxiao first arrived, he saw her coming out of secretly with a candle. If he said he had not taken anything, it would be impossible. Seeing the girl's pupils shrink slightly, he knew that he had guessed it right.

Gu Xiangyi tightened his clothes with his hands and suddenly rushed to his other leg, but Yi Jingxiao was not easy to deal with. He blocked her way with one leg with a little force. When she soared into the air and was about to turn over, she even stretched out her long arms and held her in her arms.

This is the best way to imprison one person, but if the two people are seen by the intentional person, they will inevitably be misunderstood.

Gu Xiangyi was both ashamed and annoyed, and his pale face turned a few rosy.

"I can let you go, but you have to keep things." Yi Jingxiao said again.

"You're dreaming!" Gu Xiangyi wanted to escape from his arms, but she didn't have enough strength. Her back was against his front and her hands were firmly controlled.

Yi Jingxiao untied Gu Xiangyi's clothes with one hand. He didn't have any inappropriate thoughts, but he didn't want the Ning family's Mixin to be stolen by outsiders. He reached into his clothes, but did not touch the booklet. His face suddenly turned red, and his palms became hot without realizing it, as if he had touched a hot soldering iron.

With all his strength, Gu Xiangyi raised his hand and gave him an elbow. It was impossible to hit him, but with this moment she could break free, she raised her hand and slapped him.

A crisp sound echoed on the street outside. No one knew what was going on here, nor did anyone know Gu Xiangyi's anger.

After living for more than ten years, this is the first time she has been treated like this!

It was also the first time Yi Jingxiao was slapped in the face. The hot pain on his face seemed to show the anger of the girl in front of him. After years of learning etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, how could he not know why the other party was angry? Then he bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm abrupt."
