Before the sandstorm arrives

  Jiuyin didn't say a word, she believed it, how could she not believe? A woman in great anger can do anything.

  Last night, Qing Cheng had borrowed her hand to slap this woman, now she wants to avenge herself, it's not strange, she just thinks about how to get rid of them.

  Although she saw a hint of unease flashing at the bottom of her eyes, she still had an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant. Lu Ke took a step forward and stared at her delicate face, saying calmly:

  "Who are you exactly and why are you getting close to Master Yi Wang? Is there some kind of ulterior motive? Do you have any connection with the Jade Alliance?"

  Jiuyin smiled calmly, looking back at her gaze: "I'm just a little girl slave who was captured on the battlefield, and I have nothing to do with that alliance you mentioned. You can go ask the king for proof if you want. I really have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

  Having said that, he wanted to leave this place first by going around Lü Ke.

  Liu Ke didn't stop, but Liu Yi took another step forward and blocked her way.

  Jiuyin noticed that her right palm was clenched tightly, probably holding back her temper. It turned out that although these two were arrogant, they didn't dare to be so presumptuous as to look down on others.

  She looked at Liu Wei, smiling softly: "I really have to go to the Wang Ye's quarters to report now. You should be clear about the Wang Ye's temperament. If I'm late, he'll investigate and it's likely that you'll all be implicated."

  She said "dragged down", as if she was speaking on their behalf.

  Although Liu Wei was disdainful in her heart, she also knew that if they were really in a hurry to attend to King Yi and the two of them delayed, when the king blamed them, it's likely that neither of them would be able to escape responsibility.

  Lü Kè secretly pulled Lü Yin's sleeve, Lü Yin pursed his lips and still stared at Jiuyin's face, coldly saying:

  "Don't think that just because you have a prince and a general backing you, we can't do anything to you. You're currently serving two men, and sooner or later they'll consider you disposable and kick you out. Do you think any man can tolerate his own woman being pressed under another man at night? It's only because of your lowly status, being a plaything for any man, that they sought you out for temporary pleasure. Once they're done having fun, who knows, they might even be the ones to ruin you themselves."

  Listening to her intimidating words, Jiuyin's face maintained a calm smile.

  After she finished speaking, she smiled slightly and said softly: "Then I'll take my leave first."

  Having said that, he turned and left.

  Liu Wei wanted to stop her, but Liu Ke secretly pulled her back. Only after Jiu Yin had walked far away did Liu Ke say:

  "The Prince is already not very pleased with us, at this time we should not stir up trouble in this place. If we were to displease him, I fear he would have us leave immediately. How then could we explain ourselves to the Princess when we return?"

  "But she..." Liu Wei looked at her, then glanced at Jiu Yin who had already walked far away. The anger in her heart couldn't be swallowed: "Sister, are we going to let people bully us like this?"

  When have the people of Fengmeng ever suffered such grievances outside? In the imperial court, all the dignitaries who heard about Fengmeng were busy trying to please her. Behind them was the representative of Rong Gui Fei!

  "What's going on?" Lu Ke's gaze also fell on the gradually disappearing figure of Jiu Yin, with a chill in her eyes that made people feel fearful: "Don't panic, one day I'll help you deal with her. Now we should think about how to please King Yi."

  "But it seems that King Yi is not interested in us." The words were a bit depressing, but they were the truth.

  Lü Ke pursed her lips and didn't speak. The King of Yi was not interested in them, she could see that too, but she wasn't someone who would easily back down either?

  "Perhaps he just doesn't know our kindness, and if he experiences it later on, maybe he'll discard that slave girl and never look at her again."

  When she heard her words, Liu Yi's eyes lit up slightly and he suddenly smiled: "Sister, believe me, I will definitely find a way to make Wang Ye like us, and from then on, he will remember us forever."

  Liu Ke looked at her with downcast eyes, seeing the triumphant smile on her delicate face, and she just paused for a moment before falling silent.

  She looked up at the sky and saw it getting darker.

  "Let's go back to our room first, as for this little slave girl, I will think of a way to deal with her."

  "Good." Liu Wei is now thinking more about how to make the king like her, and as for that female slave, she can be put aside for now.

  However, those who dare to provoke Fengmeng will not let her off easily.

  "Look at the sky, the sandstorm will probably arrive after noon." She smiled slightly, took Lian Ke's arm and said softly: "Sister, let's go."

  In a sandstorm, there are crises everywhere. If someone dies in it, it's also caused by natural disasters and has nothing to do with human error, right?

  ……

  After hanging her clothes in the front yard, she simply tidied herself up and went to Feng Chenye's bedroom.

  Qing Yi told her to serve Prince Yi in the future, so even though Qing Yi didn't come to give orders this morning, she went to report on her own initiative.

  Moreover, when she went back, Qing Cheng was not in the room, probably gone to the backyard to practice swordplay. She was alone in the room and had nothing to do, if she offended Feng Chen Ye because of this, she would have to suffer even more in the future, and her life would become increasingly difficult.

  Jiuyin entered the house when Feng Chenye was still reading in his room.

  She didn't know what he was looking at that was so captivating, but every time she went to serve him over the past few days, she found him flipping through these books. She would occasionally sneak a peek, and upon closer inspection, discovered they were all account ledgers.

  Only then did he realize that as a king, he also had to manage the account books. However, these account books were neatly done, but not in Feng Chenye's handwriting, probably because they were sent from various places for him to review.

  I don't know if these princes and princesses have their own industries in private, but judging from the many account books they can come up with, their industries are probably not small either.

  Even going out is a matter of handling things, it can be seen that being a prince is not easy either.

  Busy, eternally busy.

  Jiuyin was still standing beside Feng Chenye, massaging his shoulders. The whole morning, Feng Chenye didn't make things difficult for her and hadn't said a single word to her.

  At noon, after serving him and having lunch, Jiuyin retreated with his permission and returned to her and Sheng Yichen's bedroom.

  The sky was even darker than in the morning, with sparse sand and dust everywhere.

  Jiǔ yīn was walking on the road, constantly covering his nose and mouth with his sleeves, and even his eyes could hardly be opened.

  The sandstorm will probably arrive soon, it must come this afternoon.

  As I was walking back to the bedroom through the long corridor, I suddenly heard that not far away from the edge of the corridor, Liu Ke and Liu Yi, two sisters, seemed to be saying something.

  Originally, Jiu Yin didn't intend to pay attention to them, but when she heard the words "General" from their mouths, she involuntarily stopped in her tracks and listened carefully.

  Lü Wei spoke in a soft voice, "Sister, the general has gone to the back mountain to practice his sword. But this time, it looks like the sandstorm is about to arrive. Should we go and remind him to hurry back?"

  Lü Ke looked up at the sky, which was dark and ominous-looking. There was a hint of unease in her eyes, but her tone was somewhat indifferent: "We'll go find him now, and by the time we get back, the sandstorm might have arrived. If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll both be affected."

  "But... " Luoyi's eyes were clear, but she seemed a bit flustered. She also looked up at the sky like Luoke, and the more she looked, the more uneasy she became:

  "If no one told him to come back, I don't know if he would be trapped in the mountains behind. Once the sandstorm arrived, it's likely to take his life."

  Nine sounds in the palm of one's hand, unexpectedly, sandstorms are so terrifying in this era.

  In the midst of the chaos, Luoyi's voice rang out: "The general is from Western Chu, I don't know if Western Chu also has this kind of sandstorm, I'm afraid he doesn't know the severity of the sandstorm and won't take it seriously."

  Lu Ke looked up at the sky, which also seemed to be in a hurry. After hesitating for a moment, she said: "Don't tell anyone about this, let's just pretend we don't know. The sandstorm is coming, let's go back to our room and rest. If not, when the sandstorm arrives, walking outside will either kill us or leave us seriously injured."

  Jiuyin's heart began to feel a little flustered, and after the two sisters walked far away, she quickened her pace and hurried through the doorway to her and Qingcheng's bedroom.

  The room was empty and quiet, with no one in sight. The long sword that Chang Cheng usually used was also nowhere to be seen. Could it be true what they said, that he had gone to the back mountain to practice his sword?

  She knew which direction the mountain was in, but from here, at her pace, it would take at least half an hour to get there, assuming she wouldn't get tired or stop halfway.

  But Jing Cheng was there, if he didn't go to inform him, would he really not take the sandstorm seriously?

  Western Chu and Eastern Chu are two different countries after all, and there is also a difference in climate between the two countries.

  Although she had some doubts in her heart and didn't know if Liu Ke and Liu Wei were intentionally fooling her, she couldn't help but look for Jing Cheng. She couldn't just sit back and watch him take risks.

  She hesitated for a moment before turning around and walking out of the room.

  Originally wanted to go find Feng Chen Ye, but thinking about it, didn't have the guts, so decided to go find Qing Yi instead.

  Ke Qingyi had gone off somewhere on patrol, but he didn't know where.

  A sandstorm is approaching, everyone is busy, and no one has time to care about her.

  Under helplessness, she stopped a servant who was hurrying through the courtyard and asked urgently: "Have you seen Qingcheng?"

  The man hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that the general took his long sword and went towards the back garden."

  The direction of the backyard!

  Jiuyin's heart was really anxious, and as soon as he passed through the back door, it was the road leading to the back mountain. Did Qingcheng really go to the back mountain?

  "Trouble you to tell Qingyi brother that I'm going to the back mountain to find Qiancheng." After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.

  "Miss, the sandstorm is almost here, it's very dangerous to go to the back mountain at this time." The servant said hastily.

  Jiuyin couldn't help it, she also knew that sandstorms were very dangerous, but letting Qingcheng stay there alone would be even more perilous.

  She looked at the servant and said seriously: "You just need to tell Brother Qingyi, he knows what to do."

  Having said that, he turned around and ran towards the direction of the backyard.
