After the tender beauty was reborn, the husband of the god of war competed for favor

Chapter 71 Determined

Song Jiuxi flew lightly to a roof, her eyes slowly swept around, and suddenly she chased in one direction.

A masked man in black saw her chasing after her and ducked into a dark alley.

Song Jiuxi didn't hesitate and followed in.

In the damp back alleys of residential houses, dark green sewage flows in the ditches under the eaves, exuding bursts of rancid odor. There are still bloodstains of dead dogs on the bluestone pavement, and there are even unknown dark bloodstains on some walls.

Song Jiuxi held her breath and fell to the ground. She walked in without changing her expression. Suddenly, there was a sound in her ears. Song Jiuxi ducked sideways, and a hidden weapon flew past her head.

Song Jiuxi followed the voice and appeared in front of the man in black the next moment.

The man in black knew he couldn't hide anymore and took action suddenly. Song Jiuxi's eyebrows were extremely cold and his moves became calmer.

The man in black's moves are fierce, his boxing skills are wide open, and his inner strength seems to be endless.

Song Jiuxi screamed in surprise, and the man slammed his fist into Song Jiuxi's shoulder. Song Jiuxi's shoulders sank, and her slender body slid away like a fish.

The rough voice of the man in black sounded: "The Lingyun Pavilion's Lingyun footwork is indeed extraordinary."

Song Jiuxi frowned and looked at him: "Who are you?"

The man sneered. The sound sounded like the tip of a knife scratching against the wall, which was harsh and rough.

"I'm afraid that even those at Lingyun Pavilion don't know that there is someone outside Lingyun Pavilion who has practiced Lingyun's footwork to the seventh level."

Song Jiuxi asked: "You are from Jianghu? You know Lingyun Pavilion so well."

The man snorted coldly and suddenly flicked his sleeves. Song Jiuxi thought he was going to launch a hidden weapon and hurriedly dodged to avoid it, but the next moment the man disappeared from the spot.

By the time Song Jiuxi came to his senses, the man had disappeared without a trace.

Song Jiuxi searched for several streets but could not find this person. He was like a drop of water mixed into the vast sea and disappeared in an instant.

This man only came here to kill Butler Wang. After fighting Song Jiuxi, he seemed to be hiding his moves, not wanting Song Jiuxi to see them.

Song Jiuxi went to Deyun Tower first and asked Fu Chenyun to check on this person.

But Fu Chenyun said: "According to my understanding of the capital over the years, there is no such person in the capital."

Song Jiuxi also suspected that he was a Jianghu person, but if he was a Jianghu person, what was the purpose of this person and even the person behind it?

A vacant title was given to the Changping Marquis Mansion, but in fact Song Wenzhi had no real power, and even the prince did not think highly of this tutor.

But someone planted Butler Wang in the Changping Marquis Mansion, and Butler Wang was also implicated in the death of his mother.

The more Song Jiuxi investigated, the more complicated her mother's death became. Who in the end took her mother's life?

The clue was broken again at Butler Wang, and Song Jiuxi looked very unhappy. When she returned to Yan Mansion, she saw Fang Long kneeling at the foot of the three steps in front of the house, with the Suguang knife in front of his knees.

"Master." Fang Long lowered his head and said, "My subordinate did not do his job well and failed to protect Butler Wang."

Song Jiuxi asked: "How long have you been kneeling?"

Aunt Qing replied: "I have been kneeling here since I came back."

"Yeah." Song Jiuxi responded and turned around and entered the room without saying a word to Fang Long.

Aunt Qing looked at Fang Long, then at Song Jiuxi in the room, and then sighed.

Fang Long felt increasingly uneasy. She knew that she had surrendered to Song Jiuxi, who had never truly trusted her.

She used to help the Qiu family, and she also helped Song Wanwan deal with Song Jiuxi. If it were another person, she wouldn't believe her surrender.

She originally took refuge in Song Jiuxi just because she wanted to take a gamble. But these days when she stayed with Song Jiuxi, she saw Song Jiuxi's ability with her own eyes and knew that she made the right gamble.

She believed that with Song Jiuxi's ability, she could find evidence that the prince had murdered the entire Fang family.

Now she is only loyal to Song Jiuxi and has no intention of betrayal. She really treats Song Jiuxi as her master.

But this time she actually let Butler Wang be killed in her hands. Fang Long felt guilty and uneasy, and she didn't know how Song Jiuxi would punish her.

If you let her leave, or take her life...

Fang Long didn't dare to think about what she was about to face.

When Yan Shubai entered the courtyard, he saw Fang Long kneeling in front of the house and raised his eyebrows slightly. Among the servants coming and going in the courtyard, no one dared to speak.

Yan Shubai pushed the wheelchair into the house and said with a smile: "Madam is back so soon, I thought she would stay in Song Mansion for a few days."

"What's so nice about a place like that?" Song Jiuxi raised her head and glanced at him, then continued to read the medical book in her hand.

Yan Shubai felt very happy after hearing this. Now his courtyard has really become Song Jiuxi's home.

"What did you eat at Song Mansion for lunch?"

Song Jiuxi suddenly remembered that she didn't even get to eat when she went back.

What a big loss.

If she stayed to eat, she wouldn't be the one who couldn't eat anyway.

Yan Shubai understood when he saw the look in Song Jiuxi's eyes, and immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a meal and bring it over. Yan Shubai picked up a piece of mille-feuille pastry and put it to Song Jiuxi's mouth, and said with a smile: "First, take care of your stomach.

Let’s eat when the food is served.”

Song Jiuxi opened her mouth subconsciously, and the sweet aroma of the thousand-feuille cake was mixed with a faint medicinal fragrance.

It was the bitter medicinal smell that Yan Shubai had been bedridden for all year long and drank medicine, which soaked into his skin. Song Jiuxi had been dealing with various medicinal materials a lot recently, but found the aroma of this medicine to be very refreshing.

Yan Shubai handed the second piece of mille-feuille to Song Jiuxi's mouth, just as she finished the first piece.

Yan Shubai stared at her and fed her three pieces in a row.

Song Jiuxi didn't know it herself. When Yan Shubai stopped feeding, she raised her eyes and looked directly at Yan Shubai with her thin, cold eyes.

She glanced at the plate of mille-feuille that was moved away by Yan Shubai, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes. Then she straightened her lips, lowered her long feather fan, and returned to the page of the book.

This emotion was like a flower blooming, causing her cold expression to crack, revealing a lovely and touching side.

Yan Shubai had a smile on his lips and his eyes were as gentle as water. After seeing enough of Song Jiuxi's expression, he coaxed him and said, "We'll eat soon. I've eaten too many snacks and I won't be able to eat for a while."

Song Jiuxi pursed her lips and said "hmm" after a long while.

Yan Shubai smiled even wider. If he didn't want Song Jiuxi to be frightened, he would have done more than just feed him snacks.

Yan Shubai sighed inwardly, take your time.

The servants brought the food to the table. When passing by Fang Long, they all lowered their eyes and did not dare to speak.

Song Jiuxi picked up the chopsticks and said calmly: "Get up."

Fang Long was stunned for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Master."

Song Jiuxi said: "Go to Aunt Qing to get some ointment. Recuperate in the past two days and then come back to me."

"Yes, Master." Fang Long said.

When Fang Long left, Yan Shubai said with a smile: "After today, Fang Long is completely devoted to you."

The master's subordinates have rewards, punishments, tenderness, and intimidation to win people's hearts.

Fang Long moved from Song Wanwan to Song Jiuxi. Although Song Jiuxi was a suspicious person, he didn't need to be suspicious of others, but it also depended on how to make good use of this person.

If Song Jiuxi wants to make good use of Fang Long, she must have Fang Long's heart by her side.

Fang Long must have been aware of today's shock.
