The night is strange and beautiful.

The bright moon in the sky is not dimmed by the disputes in the world, it exudes a cold and gloomy light, shining all over everyone.

Under the escort of Jin Wu Guard, Qin Jiu went down the mountain along the mountain road.

The mountain breeze swept across his cheeks and whimpered like a Huqin singing outside the gate. The air is icy, and it makes people feel like a palpitating cold when inhaled in the lungs.

The winding mountain road was illuminated by the light of lanterns as bright as day, and the dark rocks and bare trees on both sides of the mountain road were clearly presented in front of the eyes.

Yan Su controlled the horse slowly in front of Qin Jiu, and his black hair and brocade robe were blown by the mountain breeze, as if he wanted to fly. His back is tall and thin, and he has a natural deterrent that makes people want to look up.

Qin Jiu squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and the tall figure in front of him gradually overlapped with the other figure.

The young man sits straddling the Zhaoye Lion White, dressed in a bright purple silky horse riding outfit, with a jade belt tied around his waist, wearing silky black riding boots and a cloak of the same color embroidered with clouds. The young man has handsome eyebrows, strong heroic spirit, and full of energy. Holding a bow and arrow in his hand, squinting, aiming, and drawing the bow. Because of the force, the muscles under the clothes stretched, bulging the strong clothes on the body. The young and handsome face was still shining with sweat from the galloping horse.

At that time, her heart seemed to be shot by this arrow.

"Sect Master Qin, please get on the carriage!" Xie Dichen's voice came in his ears.

Qin Jiu realized that he was in a daze. He had already descended the mountain road with a carriage parked in front of him.

On the side of the carriage, Yan Su reined in his horse, and looked back at her. Under the moonlight, his bright eyes were sharp, and his indifferent and cold eyes were suffocating.

Qin Jiu squinted and said with a smile: "A criminal like me still has a carriage, thank you, Your Highness." Qin Jiu smiled and got into the carriage, leaning on the pad of the carriage, and closed his eyes.

She is really tired.

I am afraid there is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow. At this moment, the most important thing is to recharge. Qin Jiu relaxed and felt a little drowsy.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage stopped and the curtain was lifted.

Qin Jiu opened his eyes, knowing that he had arrived at the prison of Jingfu Yin.

Qin Jiu yawned, walked down from the carriage, and was escorted by the jailer into the prison. She did not stay in jail long before she was taken to the lobby for trial.

In fact, Qin Jiu knows very well that the case she committed is not a big one, but because of her special status, it was committed by Yan Su, and this case is not a small one.

The hour has passed, and the morning sun is rising.

The gate of the Yin Hall of Jingfu opened, and the officials separated on both sides. With a "rise to the hall", the officials shouted "Mighty". The low and majestic voices spread out one after another, making the hearts of the people watching the excitement outside.

A few traces of sunlight leaked from the cracks of the vermilion window, turning into cloud-like strands of light, lightly rendered on the black moire stone brick surface.

Qin Jiu knelt under the lobby, squinting his eyes to study the patterns on the black stone bricks.

Sitting in the hall are Meng Huai from Lijing City, and King Anling from the hearing.

Meng Huai was a lean old man who looked like he was in his fifties, with a pair of small eyes shining with shrewdness.

There are many powerful and powerful people in Lijing City, and working as a mansion in the capital, there is not much ability to go back and forth, and it is absolutely impossible to mix.

Meng Huai stroked his beard, looked at Qin Jiu who was studying the pattern of the floor tiles below, and looked at the cold-faced King Anling beside him, and his heart beat a drum.

He naturally knew that King Anling and Tianchen Sect had always been wrong. Now, as soon as the new disciple Tianchen Sect arrived in the capital, he was arrested by King Anling, charged with raping Yin Liang's youngster and practicing evil arts. If this is true, Tianchen Sect is afraid of being discredited, and the system of sending a disciple to serve for the court every few years may be cancelled. However, now that Tianchen Sect is in full force in the court, the Imperial Concubine Hui in the palace is not easy to deal with, and he is really embarrassed to handle this case. It's just that the King Anling in front of him, he can't afford to offend him even more.

Meng Huai thought for a while, since King Anling personally sent the case for trial, I was afraid that he would have to deal with this Tianchen Sect disciple strictly.

He squinted his eyes, slammed the gavel and yelled and asked: "The sinner Qin Jiu, you are persecuting the young man from the good family, doing yin, and also forcing them to practice evil arts. Are you convicted?"

Qin Jiu raised his head slowly, glanced at Meng Huai from the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Where did Master Meng start with this? The little girl just took a hot spring in Princess Zhaoping's palace, why did she commit a crime Sin?" Qin Jiu's tone was like a spring breeze, and his smile was pure as a lotus, but Meng Huai vaguely felt the faint coercion in these soft eyes.

Meng Huai glanced at Yan Su, wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, and continued to ask, "I'm so brave, there are all witnesses and evidence, how can you allow you to sophistry? Come, pass on evidence."

There was a sound of footsteps in the court hall, Qin Jiu squinted and looked back, only to see her maid, Cherry, being brought up.

Qin Jiu sneered in his heart and thought: Finally the fox's tail is revealed. This is because he thought he would be able to bring himself down this time!

Cherry is Qin Jiu's maid. She has served Qin Jiu in Tianchen Sect for two years. For a long time, she was extremely loyal to Qin Jiu, but Qin Jiu found it difficult to trust people easily because of her own experience. Soon she discovered that she was actually a meticulous work placed by Yao Xier, the master of Guanjumen. His daily words and deeds and the attitude of the Sect Master toward her were all passed to Yao Xier's ears through the cherry.

Qin Jiu was not originally coming to Lijing this time.

The suzerain sent Yao Xier from Guanjumen.

Qin Jiu knew that Yao Xier was obsessed with the Sect Master, and naturally he was willing to stay with the Sect Master instead of coming to Lijing. Because the women who came to Tianchen Sect in Lijing over the years, most of them will marry the power of the dynasty and enter the inner circle, such as the Imperial Concubine Hui. Yao Xier was naturally unwilling.

Qin Jiu entered Tianchen Sect, originally wanted to come to Lijing via Tianchen Sect, so why would he let this opportunity pass. Then, taking advantage of the chance of the Sect Master's retreat and practice, using Cherry's meticulous work, the news of the Sect Master's adoration of him was spread to Yao Xier piecemeal.

Yao Xier soon begged the right emissary to send himself over because of his illness.

That's not even counted. On the way to Lijing, they had been assassinated, Qin Jiu can guarantee that the assassins sent by Yao Xier will be indispensable. I am afraid that in Yao Xier's heart, he is the rival that hinders her the most.

Except for durian and loquat, most of Qin Jiu's side were people of the suzerain, so Qin Jiu didn't bother to fight back.

Let them kill each other, kill them all.

Cherry did little tricks on herself along the way, but in the end she didn't succeed.

Now, I am afraid that Yao Xier has given an ultimatum, and Cherry will take this opportunity to borrow Yan Su's hand to get rid of herself.

It's just that they think so beautifully.
