Fairy, I really am a villain!

"Within a day or two, maybe their outposts have already entered the city." Fang Xiwen smiled.

Hearing this, Wang Ningzhu stood up quickly and said, "What? This is impossible. The only demon in this city right now is your friend."

"I didn't say the outposts were demons," Fang Xiwen spread his hands, "By the way, are you interested in meeting them?"

"what?"

“Maybe I can meet you on the road…”

"Go!"

In a hurry, the two of them came to Wang Ningzhu's house.

The girl tied her hair up, and her whole demeanor suddenly changed. "I'll go to Zhengqi Hall to get Qieting. Please wait here."

"Hey, hey, hey, we're not going to fight, so there's no need to bring a gun."

"?"

"Dressing up... is not necessary for you. You will be beautiful enough in your yellow long skirt. Let's go for a walk on the street."

"I knew it! You were mesmerized the first time you saw me in a skirt, right? And you're trying to get away with it by giggling? Don't try to fool me!"

Having said that, girls still have to dress up when going out, and it takes a lot of effort.

"Don't move," Xiaodie leaned down, her movements very light, "Do you really have to put on makeup like this? I think the way you look is great."

"No, no, please make my eyebrow line softer." Wang Ningzhu was a little nervous.

"Miss... As the saying goes, appearance is determined by the heart, and it's good to look heroic."

"But I'm afraid he won't like it."

"Oh, okay." Xiaodie glanced at the bronze mirror and sighed inexplicably.

~~

"How, how is it?"

Wang Ningzhu held her left arm with her right hand, standing tall in a goose-yellow dress, with a slightly red face;

The pair of heroic sword-like eyebrows were covered up, and the narrow and long phoenix eyes were also processed, losing that sharp feeling. The long ink-black hair was draped diagonally on the shoulders, making her look like a delicate female teacher.

"Well, she looks quite human... ahem, there's a saying that goes 'lotus is not as pretty as a beauty with makeup, the wind from the water palace brings out the fragrance of pearls and jade', Miss Ningzhu is already very pretty without makeup, and now she's even more stunningly beautiful."

Seeing the sudden change in his expression, Fang Xiwen knew that some jokes were not allowed, so he changed his words immediately;

He felt inexplicably sad. The good brother who could ride a horse with him, the "tyrant sword" who hunted Tianshan with a sword, was gone again, and became an "ordinary" beautiful girl.

Seeing his reaction, Wang Ningzhu nodded with satisfaction, followed him through the pavilion, and met several elders.

They all looked so kind, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.

So Fang Xiwen gently pulled her and bowed, then passed by.

"You are so calm."

"Of course. Even if your father were here, I would have the same attitude." He responded while silently missing his good brother in his heart.

When they were about to leave the house, Fang Xiwen noticed that she had been looking at Zhengqi Hall, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can just take a break. Besides, we have a purpose for this trip."

"I'm not worried. I just remembered that your Mingde Sword has not been unsealed yet. I have to take you there later."

As she spoke, Wang Ningzhu took his hand and smiled: "Before, the old guys always wanted to squeeze me out of the center of power, thinking that women should not be in power... I was very angry at first, but now I want to thank them."

"Hey, hey, hey, that's your elder, right?"

"I'm only saying this to you."

After the two of them left the palace, Wang Ningzhu looked back at the busy scene and said with some relief, "Besides, I have done what I should do. If there is anything else, just help me."

"Do you think there is a possibility that if Wenxuan can't finish the work, he will come to me for help?"

"Then ignore him."

Chatting and laughing, the two went all the way to Beidingfang and met a few acquaintances on the way.

Young Master Wang Xianzhi came towards them, and at first he looked teasing, winking and saying, "Brother Fang is really good at this. He has already won over another...cousin in just a few days?!"

With a cry of surprise, he turned pale with fright, and then ran away without saying a word.

Fang Xiwen cursed the boy inwardly for bringing up such a topic. Then she heard her calmly ask, "Xiwen, I'm a little angry. Do you know why?"

"Xianzhi looked obviously surprised. You rarely show yourself like this, so it's normal that he didn't recognize you. It just means you're too beautiful, the contrast is too great."

"Wasn't I beautiful before?"

"how come..."

"That boy must have come here deliberately to make fun of me. It doesn't matter, I won't bother with him." Wang Ningzhu gritted his teeth, but showed a gentle smile, which made him secretly hold back his laughter.

To be honest, if 'Ba Dao' was here, Wang Xianzhi would have been severely beaten.

"Don't worry about him, let's play our game."

As he spoke, Fang Xiwen grasped the soft hand and applied a little force; as if a switch had been turned on, Wang Ningzhu soon calmed down, a blush appeared on her neck, and she followed closely.

This action was considered very bold in the contemporary world. On the one hand, she felt a little ashamed of such an intimate act in front of others, but more importantly, she was happy that she could truly feel his feelings.

Beidingfang is a market.

There are already many small items for sale here, and with more people coming into the city in the past few days, the things sold on the stalls have become more diverse, coming from all over the world and being both strange and exotic.

There was a small cart with some gold and silver jewelry on it. Although the stall owner was enthusiastic, the price was quite high, so the business was not very good.

Noticing something, Fang Xiwen came to the car and asked, "Boss, can you give me a discount?"

"If the customer buys a lot, we can consider buying three and giving you one."

Hearing this, he thought that this person was quite good at doing business. He paused and said, "These don't look like ordinary items. Where did so many come from? Could they be the dowry of a daughter from an aristocratic family?"

It is taboo to inquire about the source of goods. The stall owner was about to scold, but when he saw the familiar face, he reacted and smiled: "Since Young Master Fang wants to know, it's not impossible to tell you this news."

"Huh, how much do you want me to buy?"

"Eight pieces." The stall owner gestured exaggeratedly.

"Forget it, let's buy ten pieces to make it a total, and pick these two." Fang Xiwen agreed immediately, causing people around him to look at him sideways.

It's not the case that the more little gadgets you give to women, the better. Are you here to buy some?

'Ten items may not be enough...' he thought unhappily as he took out the activity funds given by Wang Zhongheng and handed them over.

"The money and goods have been exchanged. You are very generous, young man." After counting the silver with a smile, the stall owner lowered his voice and said, "I bought it from the servant of the Yang family. Although I don't know the specific situation, but the large amount of goods must be intended to cover up something. There may be some dirty things in it..."

"Okay, boss, that's great."

Looking at the accessories in his hand, Fang Xiwen put them away without asking any more questions.

After they walked away, Wang Ningzhu squeezed his hand and said slowly, "I have been right beside you, but you two act like you have some secret message. I, I am your wife, okay?"

"Pfft, do you want to fight with that rough guy..."

"Hmph, you know who I'm competing with." Wang Ningzhu was not stupid. When he saw him buying so many things, he immediately knew what was going on. For a moment, he felt sad.

It was you who asked me out, and it was clearly our own memories...

That was Fang Xiwen. If someone else had done the same thing, she would have stabbed him in the face long ago; but she just happened to like him so much, and this bastard didn't hide it at the beginning... She was still very angry.

"So, what are the origins of these things?" Curiosity slightly overwhelmed the jealousy, and seeing him in deep thought, Wang Ningzhu followed him and asked.

"I don't know. Anyway, their origins are unknown. For example, some of them were dug out by tomb robbers. They cannot be seen in public, so they can only be mixed in with some ordinary items and sold.

These things may have curses or something, which is nothing to strong people like us, but they can be harmful to ordinary people, so I bought them. "

As he spoke, Fang Xiwen flipped his palm and took out two hairpins. "Except for these two, the rest are ordinary women's dowry items."

"...Eh, did I wrong you?" Wang Ningzhu didn't expect this to be the reason and was stunned for a moment.

"No, some of them are for others..."

"Don't admit it!"

When he told her the truth, she got angry instead. She glared at him with her scorching eyes and her hands were so strong that it seemed like they could crush bones.

"I mean to give it to Xiaodie. Is it possible that she can't do it?"

"Huh?" This move was quite clever. Wang Ningzhu was stunned for a moment, and his hand slowly loosened a little. He said hesitantly: "If it's her... barely, it's okay."

"right?"

~~

"It is truly a magnificent sight. This was once a poor and remote place, but now it is crowded with people and carriages are flowing like dragons. The Wang family is really capable."

In Cuixia Pavilion in Beidingfang, someone was leaning against the railing, holding a sachet in his hand, looking at the people below and smiling.

"After all, it's just the countryside, far inferior to the capital with its luxurious carriages and embroidered curtains, and the long streets," said a eunuch with a sharp voice standing behind him. He took a few steps forward, put a thin vest on him, and said with concern: "Your Highness, be careful, don't catch a cold."

"How can I catch a cold at such a bright and clear time of the day? Could it be that Eunuch Yu thinks that I am similar to my tuberculotic brother and needs such care?" The man said with a smile, without even turning his head.

"I heard that Prince Rui has recovered from his illness recently. Your Highness, it's not the cold here, but the cold in our hearts. Just as Your Highness said, it's so prosperous and full of people, but the Wang family has never given a clear response to the royal family in decades, and the governor of Dingjun has disappeared without a trace."

"The Wang family naturally has resentment after the battle at Osmanthus Mountain."

"Oh, only caring about the immediate interests, not the eternal cause of the empire... the so-called loyal ministers are nothing but short-sighted villains."

Eunuch Yu carefully considered his superior's intention and expressed his thoughts aloud. Sweat dripped down his thighs into his shoes and he shuddered.

Hearing this, the man did not comment, but just shook his head and laughed: "What a pity."

"What a pity for Dingjun's grand scene? Your Highness, if the demon tribe passes through, only one royal palace can be saved here."

From their conversation, they clearly knew that the demons were going to attack.

"No, I just feel sorry for the talent. Song Dongyang is so useful, but he happened to meet someone more capable than him... It's fate."

"Your Highness is generous." Eunuch Yu paused before replying.

At this moment, a thick layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he knew that Song Dongyang was dead this time.

Judging from Dingjun's situation, either the news about the demon clan has been leaked, or someone is not doing their job properly... In either case, Song Dongyang will be abandoned as a pawn.

Obviously he had worked for His Highness for several years and was loyal to him, but he ended up like this.
