"" Song Ruoxi nodded, put down his cup, and said, "There is a tough battle to fight tonight. Let's take a nap and nourish our energy. You can't miss a big deal at night."

Ye Shuhua heard this a little familiar. He thought for a while, smiled slightly, took Song Ruoxi's hand, and walked towards the bedroom.

After going to bed and taking a nap, the two got up and washed and changed their clothes again. As soon as Song Ruoxi put the rosary on his wrist, the sound of a maid paying tribute to Ye Shuting came from outside the door.

Ye Shuting's birthday gift was the table screen she embroidered with her own hands. Five sons made a fuss about Maitreya and smiled modestly: "I don't embroider well, please don't dislike me, brother."

"My sister's intentions are rare, how can I dislike it?" Ye Shuhua laughed, took the table screen, placed it on the coffee table, and replaced the white jade screen that was placed before.

Seeing this, Ye Shuting smiled happily.

"Sister Ting, please sit down." Ye Shuhua greeted her politely.

Next, several wives sent people to celebrate Ye Shuhua's birthday, and all gifts were given. Then Ye Xiaoan and others also entered the city, and their cousins ​​and cousins ​​also came with their wives and children. For a moment, the main hall of the Dongyuan was overcrowded.

Yue delivered the gift to Song Ruoxi, held her hand and said, "I heard from my mother that today's dinner was taken care of by Yu Xian's younger brothers and sisters, so I guess it must be a good idea!"

"I have done my best and hope it will be done properly. If there is something wrong with doing it, please forgive me, sister-in-law." Song Ruoxi said with a polite smile.

"There will be no bad things, it will be smooth and fair." Yue said anxiously.

"Thank you auspicious words to my sister-in-law." Song Ruoxi just thought she said good things, but she didn't hear anything she said.

There were too many people and had not sat for a long time. After chatting for a few words, they said goodbye and left, headed to Qiushuang Hall, waiting for the start of the dinner party. All the people who came to celebrate the birthday were sent away. Song Ruoxi's mouth was dry, so he picked up the teacup and poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth to quench his thirst.

At the beginning of the Youth hour, the two went to the Qiushuang Hall in Zhongyuan. The dusk was vast and the evening breeze blew gently, with the coldness of early winter. The Qiushuang Hall was already brightly lit, and Ye Fan and Zhaoping County Lord had arrived first. Ye Shuhua was worried that he would not take care of Song Ruoxi. Today, the two banquets were held, with men and women in the same hall.

Chen Mo, wearing a royal blue brocade robe, sat in the guest seat, and there was a beautiful woman sitting on the left and right beside him, one in red and the other in blue.

Chen Mo also saw Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi walking side by side at a glance. Ye Shuhua was wearing a sky-green embroidered floral pattern and a belt embroidered with a long hair. Song Ruoxi was wearing a wind-woven jacket with a pair of collars of the same color as him. His long skirt dragged the ground, his long hair was tied with a concentric bun, and a branch of phoenix was inserted between the hair. The long tassels swayed gently as she walked. Under the reflection of the candlelight, they reflected the silver light, and three jade plum blossoms were inserted on both sides, elegant and elegant as a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi first stepped forward to greet Ye Fan and Zhaoping County Lord, and then walked to Chen Mo. Ye Shuhua bowed and said, "Dongbi Hou has traveled thousands of miles to celebrate his birthday. Thank you for this great gift. You can drink more wine later."

Chen Mo stood up, stared at Song Ruoxi with his eyes hanging down and silently said, "I will definitely not drink less wine."

"When Dongbi waits to drink, don't get drunk. If you mistakenly take a foreign land as your hometown, it will be troublesome." Ye Shuhua stepped forward and stopped him from looking at Song Ruoxi's exposed gaze.

"The wine in a foreign land is intoxicating, and I want to bring the wine back to my hometown." Chen Mo used wine to describe people, narrowing his eyes slightly, and a light flashed.

Ye Shuhua was about to speak when Ye Xiaogong walked over, "Mr. Hou and my elder brother turned out to be old acquaintances."

"My husband and the young city lord lived next to Jinglian Temple." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Not only that, from the perspective of Senior Brother Jingxuan, Dongbi Hou is considered the nephew of the Young City Lord." Song Ruoxi suddenly said this.

Chen Mo's expression was stiff for a moment, "Miss Song is the same as before, and she still likes to tell jokes."

Song Ruoxi is married, but he calls her Miss Song. He really regards Ye Shuhua as nothing and is extremely rude. Ye Xiaogong is the most greedy woman. When he hears this, he tastes the taste, touches his chin, and shows an unknown smile on his face.

Anger flashed in Ye Shuhua's eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Song Ruoxi was already speaking first, "This is the fact, why are you joking? When Dongbi Hou is rich and honorable, can he not even recognize his grandmother?" Song Ruoxi asked with a raised eyebrows.

"Miss Song is very erotic and intelligent. You should know that the things in Buddhism have nothing to do with the world." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Song Ruoxi said: "The Buddha is in the secular world, and compassion is to save all sentient beings. My husband and wife follow the example of the Buddha, running around in the secular world, thinking of the people. May the Buddha's compassion allow Dongbi to reach the Pure Land early and not suffer in this secular world."

Ye Xiaogong was stunned. Who would have let others reach the Pure Land early? Isn’t this curse that they died early? From this we can see that they are indeed old acquaintances, but old acquaintances with grudges.

Chen Mo did not think it was offended and said with a smile: "I will definitely not let Miss Song down my kindness. I hope to go to the Pure Land with Miss Song."

"The Buddha will not pass on the person who has no chance." Ye Shuhua's face was slightly dark, "Fourth brother, please greet Dongbi Hou on my behalf, don't neglect Dongbi Hou."

After saying that, Ye Shuhua took Song Ruoxi's hand and turned around and left.

"He is just a bastard, you don't have the freedom to be with him." Song Ruoxi advised softly.

"I hate the look he looks at you." Ye Shuhua looked depressed. Shangguan Moxun is a gentleman who is passionate and only polite, and will not do anything beyond his means, but Chen Mo is a complete villain who uses any means to achieve his goal.

"If he wants to see, let him see it, but he won't see me." Song Ruoxi smiled, "Today is your birthday. Be happier, don't affect his mood. Smile."

Ye Shuhua smiled obediently and took her to greet the uncles and uncles. After the gift, the two of them sat down. Li Jicai attached himself to Ye Fan's ear and said something. Ye Fan nodded and said aloud: "Today is the birthday of my child Shuhua. Thank you for attending his birthday banquet, especially Dongbi Hou who traveled thousands of miles to celebrate the child's birthday, which made the city lord feel honored."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "You are polite to Yecheng. It is my honor to be here to celebrate the birthday of the young city lord."

The two of them said a few polite words back and forth. Yefan raised his glass and drank the wine. The maids carrying food boxes entered one after another. The banquet was full of tortoiseshell and lotus. The sound of silk and bamboo played a melodiously and chanted songs. The dancers in the singing and dancing workshop danced gracefully in the hall with the music, enchanting and colorful.

Song Ruoxi kept paying attention to Chen Mo's actions and found that he and Ye Xiaogong were very intimate and had a great chat. "Senior brother, could it be the two of them?"

Ye Shuhua turned to Xiao Shunzi and ordered: "Go and ask the maid who serves them, what are they talking about?"

Xiao Shunzi took the order and came back soon. He leaned into Ye Shuhua's ear and said, "They are talking about women, and they are saying that there are girls they are familiar with in the building, and they also say that they will find a day to have fun."

Ye Shuhua frowned in disgust, messy.

The music was so loud that Song Ruoxi didn't hear Xiao Shunzi clearly and pulled Ye Shuhua's sleeve, "What are they talking about?"

"I didn't say anything, some gossip." Ye Shuhua didn't want to let Song Ruoxi dirty his ears.

Song Ruoxi didn't believe it and glanced at him, but did not ask questions. A smart woman should not follow the details of small things.

After offering the second incense towel, the maids began to serve the third hot dish, the fourth grade: stewed duck waist, cooked shrimp, stir-fried rabbit jelly and steamed sausage, two grades: shark fin crab soup and golden silk yam soup, and two grades: shouzi oil cake and shousheng peach.

Ye Shuhua stood up and toasted the older people to express respect and gratitude.

The hall was singing and dancing, the table was full of joy, and there was no abnormal movement while the cups and cups were mixed. Song Ruoxi was puzzled. The banquet was half over, why didn't he take action? Should he wait until it was over before he could take action? Or was it just a false alarm? Or did those people know that they had revealed the news, changed their plans, and did not plan to take action?

Just as Song Ruoxi was secretly speculating, the change happened instantly. A strange wind blew, and thousands of bright lights in the hall were all extinguished. The sudden change made the women who were raised in the boudoir scream in unison.

From the moment of light to darkness, I could see nothing in front of me. After getting used to the darkness, I saw dozens of men in black jumping out from somewhere! Song Ruoxi stood up and wanted to leave the seat where she was sitting. Since those people had already made a move, they must have been paying attention to where she was. She could not sit and wait for death. As soon as she stood up, she heard someone beside her groans, was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Silkworm."

"Young lady, go quickly." The silkworm girl had already fought with someone.

As soon as Song Ruoxi took a step, she felt someone grabbing her arm. The palm was very big, unlike the hands of Xiang Xiu and others. She was in shock and struggling. The man pulled hard and she crashed into his arms, struggling to reach out to grab the man.

"Girl." A intimate cry.

"Mo Xun?" Song Ruoxi's hand stopped in the air, his tone was full of questions, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong. How could Shangguan Mo Xun appear here at this time?

"It's me." Shangguan Moxun's voice was filled with a smile. He waved his fist with his right hand and took her back, "Are you injured?"

"No." Song Ruoxi was protected by him. The distance was very close. You could smell the faint fragrance of peach blossom wine on his body. My heart moved. Could it be that the peach blossom wine he drank at noon was given to Ye Shuhua?

"Don't be afraid."

"Yes." Song Ruoxi was really curious about his appearance, but it was not convenient to ask more questions at this moment.

Swords intersect, screams, the sound of the table falling to the ground, the sound of cups and plates falling to the ground, the sound of footsteps running back and forth, and various sounds rising and falling. In the darkness, vision is blocked and you can't see clearly what is going on, your hearing and smell will appear particularly sensitive, but your hearing and smell are not intuitive enough, which will make people think a lot.

Every time Song Ruoxi heard a scream, he felt that it was emitted by Ye Shuhua. The smell of blood in the air became more and more intense, indicating that many people were injured or even died. The gorgeous and rich Qiushuang Hall had become a cold battlefield for killing.

Because there were precautions, the killing in the hall did not last long. It was just that when people were in a specific environment, they would feel like they were living in a year. Even if they only had a few minutes, they would feel very long and difficult.

Bright torches and lanterns illuminated the hall. At the moment when the light came, Shangguan Moxun let go of the hand holding Song Ruoxi's waist, quickly retreated two steps to the left, hiding his figure behind the tall carved beech lantern base, keeping a suitable distance from her.

Song Ruoxi did not notice that she was anxiously searching for Ye Shuhua's figure. Everyone in the hall was not in its original position. More than a dozen injured men in black were surrounded by guards, and the ground was in a mess. Soon, she found him in the hall with a crowded crowd. He stood beside a carved stone pillar with a blood-stained sword.

Seeing that the scene had been controlled, Ye Fan walked up to the jade steps surrounded by guards and was about to speak when a loud "bang" sounded, and a stream of black smoke filled the air, and many people screamed again.

Song Ruoxi never expected that there would be a second accident.

Shangguan Moxun stepped forward and hugged her, gently pointed her toes, swept back several steps, put her on the ground, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two pills, one for her, and one into his mouth, "Eat it!"

Song Ruoxi swallowed the pills and looked up and saw that the hall was covered with black smoke.

"Sit down." Shangguan Moxun sat on the ground and leaned back on the stone pillar.

Song Ruoxi sat obediently beside him, leaning his head against the lampstand. The black smoke gradually dissipated, and there were no people standing in the hall, all of whom fell to the ground. What surprised Song Ruoxi was that even Chen Mo was lying there, how could this happen? Could it be that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind?

"Okay, let's do it!" An old voice rang out.

Song Ruoxi saw four people getting up from the ground, Chen Mo, Ye Xiaojing, an old man and a man in a guard uniform.

The blue veins on Ye Fan's forehead, who was lying on the jade platform, raised their blue veins and shouted loudly: "Nizi, what are you going to do?"

"Father, don't be angry. You forced me to do this. This city lord should be able to live in it, and it should not be considered a legitimate wife." Ye Xiaojing picked up a long sword on the ground, "White Shuhua is better than me except for the word "legitimate". He has no descendants, and no successor is too unfilial. How can such a person be the city lord?"

Ye Fan looked at him angrily and said coldly: "You are not a good person to be a good person to be a good person. You are not a good person to be a good person. I am afraid that this is a good person to be a good person."

"As long as I kill Ye Shuhua, my father will have no legitimate son, and there is no legitimate position to pass on as the city lord. It will naturally be legitimate to be the city lord." Ye Xiaojing walked towards Ye Shuhua while saying this.

"Stop being alone, the third son." Chen Mo said.

Ye Xiaojing stopped and looked back at him.

Chen Mo curled his lips and smiled, "You killed Ye Shuhua in front of your father and so many people. Afterwards, do you think the Lord of Ye will obediently pass the position of the Lord of the City to you? Will they obey and assist you? Your elder brother's mistake is a minor mistake than you, let alone your fourth and fifth brothers are there. The Lord of Ye can choose one of the three of them."

"Kill all three of them, and my father has only one son. Who else can I pass it on to if I don't pass it on to me?" Ye Xiaojing said coldly.

Ye Fan was so angry that his whole body trembled, and turned his head to curse at Mrs. Bian, "Bian, this is your good son. In order to seize the position of the city lord, he killed his brother."

Mrs. Bian, who was slumped on the chair, stood up and said with a smug look: "The son I gave birth to is of course a good son."

"You!" Ye Fan's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe that Mrs. Bian, who had been obedient and kind in character for many years, was also involved in this matter.

Mrs. Bian walked up to the jade platform, her face with exquisite makeup twisted ferociously, and her eyes were fierce and said, "Jing'er, go and kill them all, let their blood spread the beautiful road where you step onto the throne of the city lord."

"Yes, mother." Ye Xiaojing replied loudly.

"Sister Bian, Gong'er won't compete with the third young master for the position of the city lord. Please don't hurt him." Mrs. Shao was eager to protect her and shouted loudly.

"You are just here to plead with mercy now, don't you think it's too late?" Mrs. Bian curled her lips and sneered.

Mrs. Shao's face turned pale. When she was favored, she offended Mrs. Bian, who had "a gentle personality", rolled down from the chair and pleaded on the ground: "Sister Bian, it was my fault before. You have a lot of me. Don't bother with me. I will..."

"There is no future." Mrs. Bian interrupted her coldly, "Jing'er, don't do it yet."
