My enemies became my companions

Chapter 403: The Female Crown Caught an Adulterer
"Let me ask you a question first," Chen Yi said slowly, "Does the county magistrate come to Qingfeng Pavilion often?"

Jiang Shangli looked at Lu Ying warily and noticed that she was making a divination gesture, so he answered truthfully, "I come once or twice a month to entertain guests and contact colleagues."

"It seems that there is not much communication with Lifeng Pavilion."

"Yes, it was just a simple meeting. The money was paid, and the courtesan didn't dare to move." Jiang Shangli paused and said, "Master Long doesn't trust Lifeng Pavilion?"

"Otherwise I wouldn't want to talk to you."

Chen Yi spoke slowly, grasping his identity as Gu Yanjian.

As for the matter of the Lone Smoke Sword, he had naturally heard something about it after being in the city for so long. Combined with his own judgment, he outlined the outline of the matter. This person is now hiding in Shantong City. He is openly being hunted by Tang Ze and others, the leader of Kunlun Sect, and secretly being wanted by Xi Que Pavilion. At the same time, Lifeng Pavilion helped conceal the whereabouts of the Lone Smoke Sword.

As an outsider of unknown origin, I can just play the role of Gu Yanjian in Jiang Shangli's eyes at this moment.

Chen Yi chanted: "The business of Lifeng Pavilion is to take other people's heads. How do I know that they won't take my head? How does County Magistrate Jiang know that they won't take your head?"

Jiang Shangli thought for a moment. He still remembered the expressions of everyone when he handed over the token of Xi Que Pavilion to Li Feng Pavilion - enthusiastic, surprised and eager.

It is possible that the people from Lifeng Pavilion are secretly planning to sell the Guyan Sword to Xique Pavilion after it leaves the city.

This way, the reputation of Lifeng Pavilion will not be damaged, and it can also be used as a bargaining chip to establish a relationship with Xique Pavilion. As for him, the county magistrate, there is no guarantee that he will not become a victim.

However, although Jiang Shangli could not find any flaws in this statement, he was not in a hurry to make a decision and said, "That's right. So what does Mr. Long think?"

Chen Yi smiled slightly and said, "So, what does County Magistrate Jiang think?"

Jiang Shangli stared at the young man who was carrying a sword and a knife, secretly wondering how cunning this man was.

"My idea is to leave Qingfeng Pavilion safely first, and then contact Mr. Long to make arrangements."

Jiang Shangli's answer was flawless.

But he also knows that a foolproof answer is often not the answer people want.

"Are you pretending to be confused?"

Jiang Shangli responded: "Aren't we waiting for Young Master Long to propose conditions?"

"What if my idea is to destroy Lifeng Pavilion and destroy all traces of the corpse?"

Jiang Shangli's eyes narrowed and his sleeves trembled slightly.

He saw Chen Yi standing there motionless with an indifferent look on his face.

Although Lifeng Pavilion did the job for money, they had concealed the fact that they had kept it a secret for so long, which was considered a favor. But now this person said he would sell it, which minimized the possibility of being backstabbed.

How... ruthless and decisive.

Jiang Shangli was unsure for a moment and said, "Then let's discuss it later?"

Chen Yi said slowly: "No need to do it later, I think we should do it tonight."

Jiang Shangli said solemnly, "Qingfeng Pavilion is the territory of Lifeng Pavilion after all. There are countless hidden weapons, traps, and hidden swords. Young Master Long is not afraid of death, but I am. So it is better for us to go back and make a long-term plan first."

Chen Yi said calmly: "Okay."

Jiang Shangli smiled and said, "So it's settled then?"

"Let's swear a great oath to our inner demons first," Chen Yi raised his hand and said, "Our conversation cannot be exposed, and I happen to have a Taoist priest from Yinjian Mountain with me."

Lu Ying raised her face. From the banquet till here, she had not dared to speak because of the complicated situation. She just stood there like a wooden man. Now it was finally her chance to show her skills.

Jiang Shangli's expression froze slightly and he gave up many of his thoughts.

Those who became famous by traveling around the world,

It turns out that none of them are good people.

………………

The Great Oath of the Heart Demon was originally a magic spell used by the people in the mountain to restrain each other, but it also has a similar effect on the warriors living below the mountain.

Especially warriors above the fifth rank.

If one violates the great oath, inner demons will arise, and at the very least one will no longer be able to comprehend the meaning of martial arts and make no further progress in this life, at the worst one will go possessed and die suddenly.

With Jiang Shangli restrained by the great oath, and also because he was wary of Lu Yingjianjia's identity as the first disciple, it was not difficult for Chen Yi to leave Qingfeng Pavilion safely.

However, it is easy to dodge an open attack, but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark.

Jiang Shangli seems to be on his side now, but in fact he is weak and unwilling to challenge Lifeng Pavilion openly.

And Lifeng Pavilion will not let me go easily. Even if they cannot secretly take my life, they will always try every possible means to give it a try.

After a while, Jiang Shangli was invited to another room, saying that there would be another beautiful lady to entertain him.

Chen Yi stretched his body, turned his head, and saw Lu Ying's eyes were slightly worried.

Lu Ying lowered his voice and asked, "Are you...are you not afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid?" Chen Yi said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, I would have killed them all long ago."

It sounded like she was holding him back, and even though it was the truth, Lu Ying still felt unhappy.

But she didn't take it to heart, and instead said worriedly, "This County Magistrate Jiang is not very trustworthy."

"I know."

"So you're still working with him?"

"Just to avoid unnecessary complications," Chen Yi paused and said, "At least tonight, he can still be trusted."

Lu Ying pondered it for a while and felt that it made some sense, so he asked:
“So you’re going to work with him again, right?
Speaking of which, since the county government is so short of money, this can be considered a diligent and responsible county magistrate. "

"Dutifully?"

"Isn't it that you are trying your best to increase revenue and reduce expenditure in the county government to maintain stability in the county?" Lu Ying said.

"Do you remember? He can come to Qingfeng Pavilion once or twice a month."

The side rooms of Qingfeng Pavilion came into view, with jade plates and silver basins. From outside, the sound of stringed instruments from an opera troupe could be heard faintly. Those who came must be rich or noble.

Chen Yi sneered:
"He kept saying that Shan Tongcheng had no money in his account and was worried about the border defense plan, but it seems that he still has quite a lot of family assets..."

Lu Ying was stunned for a moment, until Chen Yi explained what he meant, she realized the doubt.

It is not difficult to catch obvious loopholes, but it seems simple to catch the details and then think about them together with the scene in front of you to find the loopholes, but it is actually extremely difficult.

She couldn't help but secretly marvel at it, and when she turned to look at Chen Yi, her eyes changed a little.

A strange idea popped up in Lu Ying's mind.

They all have the surname Chen. If Ruoshu is as smart as him, then he wouldn't be stupid.

There were some footsteps outside.

Suddenly, when Lu Ying was thinking, Chen Yi grabbed her little hand.

His hand fell into the man's broad palm. Lu Ying was startled and turned around to see Chen Yi pointing outside.

Lu Ying managed to calm down, and then he heard a voice outside:
"Mr. Long, I am here to serve you. Can you open the door for me?"

Her voice was so soft and melodious that it made one's bones soften.

"Wait."

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he turned to look at Lu Ying and said:

"The one outside should be the courtesan sent by Lifeng Pavilion. Such an assassin must be very good at charm and illusion."

"But what does it have to do with you holding my hand?" Lu Ying's pretty face blushed slightly.

Chen Yi said quickly: "Pretend to be a couple with me, so that she won't have any chance to take advantage of me."

He could certainly wait for the courtesan to come in and then whisper in secret, but whispering in secret only conceals the sound, and there will still be lip movements. Moreover, without prior communication, Lu Ying might not cooperate.

The conditions are not yet ripe, and he is not familiar with the layout of Lifeng Pavilion. It is not the time to turn hostile yet. What's more, Chen Yi also wants to take this opportunity to test it out, so he will not refuse to let the courtesan in.

"That's true. How can anyone bring his wife to a prostitute?" Lu Ying also wanted to understand the reason, so he said shyly, "Only this time."

Chen Yi said, "The door is not locked, please come in." The door was pushed open, and a faint floral fragrance filled the air, alluring the heart. The woman was so beautiful that she was seductive to the bones. As she walked in slowly, her graceful figure swayed, making the room even more radiant.

Yin Weiying turned his head and saw Chen Yi holding Lu Ying's hand, and his face froze.

Chen Yi noticed that her gaze paused.

It seemed that he had not expected that his "wife" was also present.

"May I ask your name, young lady?" Strike while the iron is hot, Chen Yi smiled and held up Lu Ying's hand and said, "This is my wife, her surname is Lu."

Yin Weiying stood there for a while, and his mind went blank in an instant.

Insider?!

This new fairy you hooked up with is my wife...

She is the wife, then who am I?
"My wife?"

Even though she realized that she was acting like a bewitching butterfly, Yin Weiying still uttered these two words through gritted teeth. She secretly clenched her fists, then released them:

"My humble name is Die, and others call me Miss Die... Your wife is really beautiful, as stunning as the moon and flowers, and as stunning as the fish and geese."

Yin Weiying secretly admired his own calmness as he did not lose his temper on the spot. Instead, he reacted tactfully and cooperated, hiding the strange expression on his face with a smile.

This gave her more time to test the couple.

"I am over-flattered."

When Chen Yi saw that the courtesan was a little slow to react, he knew that his plan had succeeded.

In order to act more realistically, he pinched Lu Ying's palm.

Lu Ying reacted, suppressed his embarrassment, and imitated his wife and said, "I went to the banquet with my husband, and I haven't seen many occasions. Miss Die praised me repeatedly, but I don't think I can compare to her in any way."

You are naturally not as good as me in any way!

Seeing her meekly holding Chen Yi's hand, Yin Weiying's heart was filled with rage, but she still controlled her expression. With the help of her mastery of illusion, her face did not change much. She pulled out a chair and sat down.

Look at Chen Yi and Lu Ying, especially Lu Ying, who is wearing a Yinjian Mountain Taoist robe and sitting here in a dignified manner. Doesn't he know that disciples of Yinjian Mountain who seek Taoist partners will be expelled from the mountain? !
It would be fine if you were Jian Jia, most of the time you would turn a blind eye, but you are just a disciple, and, and... you are stealing a man from your master! You are stealing a man from me, the Goddess Taihua!

When they met, Miss Die was silent for a long time, as if she was immersed in shock. Lu Ying felt in his heart that Chen Yi's method was really effective. She was speechless, let alone any charm.

After a while, Yin Weiying barely suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, took a deep breath, loosened his clenched fists, and finally said in a gentle voice: "Madam, could you step aside for a moment? I have something to discuss with the young master."

This time, Lu Ying understood without Chen Yi saying anything.

Isn't this just to get her out of the way so that this woman can use her charm to lure Chen Yi into bed?

Lu Ying thought to herself, "I can't let Chen Yi fall into my trap." She said gently, "My husband and I are newlyweds, and we don't want to be separated at all. If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Newlyweds, right?

Yin Weiying was so angry that he was about to burst out.

Originally, she just wanted to pretend to be a lovelorn butterfly to see if Chen Yi would take the bait and whether he really cared about her. But now, she wants to see how long the two of you will continue to love each other? !

Yin Weiying turned his head and looked at Chen Yi and said, "What do you think, sir?"

Without using the Sky Eye, Chen Yi really didn't see much clues.
Naturally, he had to act well and focus, not giving the courtesan a chance to use her charms. Having not eaten meat for half a year, Chen Yi felt it was hard to say whether he could control himself or not.

So Chen Yi responded with a smile: "I'll listen to my wife."

Yin Weiying gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you are afraid of your wife?"

Chen Yi said: "Many men are afraid of their wives, and I am one of them."

Yin Weiying's back teeth were so painful from biting them.

I was thinking that a short separation was like a new marriage, hugging each other with tears, and then secretly making love with each other, doing whatever you wanted, and in the end you showed me this? The more Yin Weiying thought about it, the angrier he got, and the angrier he got, the more he thought about it.

Not only did he hook up with another fairy, he also got married, and he was even more affectionate with her than he was with me... Yin Weiying's eyes ached, and she almost burst into tears, but she stopped herself and said softly,

"You said you were newly married not long ago, is it possible that you got married at this age?"

This is doubting whether they are a real couple. Chen Yi thought to himself that he and Lu Ying were just pretending and there was no love in their eyes. This courtesan was really used to love affairs and could see the clues from the slightest trace.

Chen Yi thought about his response and said, "To be honest, although we have only known each other for a short time, I fell in love with her at first sight."

"Does this mean that there are other wives at home?"

His eyes were so sharp and vicious that Lu Ying couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Chen Yi was also slightly surprised, but still responded with a smile: "But the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are ultimately not as good as the love between children. Miss Die, you are used to seeing the romantic world, so you should understand what I mean."

How could Yin Weiying not understand?
Not as good as the love between children...

It's unfair to you to marry me, right?

She smiled wryly and said, "It seems that the saying is true, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers."

"Most of those who come to the brothel to seek true love have a shrew at home. I think Miss Die has seen this a lot," Chen Yi said with a sense of cliché, "Men's world is full of pleasure, while women's world is full of love. And a playboy like me...is full of pleasure and love."

Yin Weiying didn't hear the second half of the sentence, her mind was only on the first half.

There is a yellow-faced woman at home...

Yellow-faced woman...

The female crown is so angry that she is about to faint!
She was so angry that she couldn't hold it in any longer and didn't want to pretend to be Miss Butterfly anymore. She said angrily:
"You, you, you, you're such an ungrateful person!"

Chen Yi was stunned by the unreasonable scolding. He wondered if the assassin was so angry because he had no idea where to start. On second thought, he was used to seeing assassins from Xi Que Pavilion. He thought that those people would never do that. However, Lifeng Pavilion was a martial arts sect after all.

Chen Yi laughed back and said, "Am I unfaithful to Hanguan, what's your business?"

"What does it have to do with me?" After the words fell, "Miss Die" laughed and said, "Then please look at my face, sir."

As soon as she finished speaking, a slender hand brushed across her cheek, casting a hazy glow. In the eyes of the two men, the enchanting butterfly girl instantly transformed into a fairy in white clothes as white as snow.

When that familiar, otherworldly and beautiful face came into view, Chen Yi's eyes slowly widened, and Lu Ying was also stunned on the spot.

She smiled and said, "Sir, is this okay?"

Chen Yi's heart raced when he heard the familiar voice, but he calmed down in an instant and became alert. This was the Qingfeng Pavilion, the territory of the Lifeng Pavilion. How could Yin Weiying appear in such a place? It must be too coincidental, right? She should still be practicing Taoism on Mount Taihua, so...

Chen Yi came back to his senses, lowered his hand to hold the knife, guarding against the murderous intentions in the dark, and smiled calmly:
"Miss Die, what a powerful illusion."

Yin Weiying's fingers stopped in mid-air and he stood stiffly in place.

After a moment, she pointed at herself and said, "Illusion?"

Chen Yi never relaxed his vigilance and said slowly, "No need to pretend anymore, just be frank. I know you assassins are good at using illusions, and you can trick people into killing them with one strike. I don't know how many people in the martial arts world have died because of beauty traps. It's not because they are really beautiful, but because they pretend to be someone else and become the white moonlight in people's hearts."

"…It seems that my magic is shallow and I can't deceive you, young master."

"There aren't many people in the world who can fool me."

"Then... can Yin Weiying be deceived?"

Chen Yi was stunned.

I only heard her say word by word: "Yin Weiying, whose name is Luanhuang, walked with you through the underground palace and the underworld, and finally got married in the hall. Can she deceive you?"

? !
Chen Yi sat stiffly where he was, his eyes as round as coins. The raging storm washed over his heart, as if he had been struck hard on the head by lightning!

Thoughts flooded in his mind: newlyweds, young people’s love is not deep enough, there is a shrew at home... every word hit his face like a boomerang, and the nun was looking at him with a smile.

Coming back to his senses, he subconsciously tried to put on a stern face and take charge as usual, but he saw the wet eyes of the nun, which were filled with bitterness, pain, and so much longing...

Yin Weiying's eyes were filled with tears, and he was about to open his mouth to accuse: "You"

"Wait, don't say anything yet. I just discovered a fact today."

"What is it?"

Chen Yi sighed and took out the pig face mask:
"I am the pig."
