After chatting with his three cousins for a while, Qu Li said goodbye and left.
Chang Sun Chi sighed, "I don't know when we can deal with the high priest! So that my cousin can go home!"
Chang Sun Wu narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with calculation: "Not only does the High Priest deserve to die, but that wicked King Chen also deserves to die!"
Chang Sun Li sneered, "Isn't this easy? I heard he's currently providing disaster relief in the Great Northern Land. It would be easy to make him unhappy!"
The three of them hit it off instantly, and when they got together, they chattered and planned how to punish Xiao Xian.
"However, my cousin just said that the high priest is ambitious and seems to want to unify the three kingdoms. What do you think?" Chang Sun Li's voice was very low.
Chang Sun Wu: "It's just speculation for now. We'll find out more details after we hear from the Shadow Pavilion!"
"Let's go back first! When my cousin competes with the high priest, we will go to cheer her on!" Chang Sun Chi stood up and prepared to go back.
It is said that karma has its own way and no one can escape it. That night, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the rain, which had not fallen for more than a month, suddenly began to fall.
Qu Li stood in front of the window, watching the raindrops getting heavier, and felt inexplicably good.
Xiling borders the northern part of Dagan, separated by a vassal state. If it rains in Xiling, it is estimated that it also rains in the northern part of Dagan.
When she left, Taoist Priest Izumo was still trying to perform a ritual to pray for rain.
However, the rain never came.
This rain can calm the emotions of the victims and prevent chaos from happening, which would give the high priest an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Compared to her happiness, Lan Yufeng was very miserable.
When the raindrops were still small, he could still bear it.
As the raindrops grew heavier, he became extremely agitated.
His crippled legs were soaked in water, and his hands were trembling gradually, so that the tablets in front of him became bizarre, as if they had turned into big mouths with fangs that could swallow him at any time.
He was extremely frightened and his breathing became more and more rapid.
His eyes rolled back and he fell directly into the puddle.
"Master!"
When the Lan family army saw this, their expressions changed drastically.
They wanted to take the people away, but were stopped by the people guarding here.
They were arguing as if they had received a reminder.
"The high priest has given the order. Even if knives rain from the sky, you must kneel!"
"Yes, he is a murderer and should atone for his sins!"
The people's emotions were getting more and more excited, and Lan Yuqiao, who was staring at them, had white fingertips on the teacup.
If she got off the carriage now and forced Lan Yufeng onto it, it would only exacerbate the conflicts between the people and the Yu Lan Mansion.
Her eyes dimmed, and she lowered the corners of her lips, and asked someone to hold an umbrella for Lan Yufeng.
The raindrops hit the umbrella, making a "dong dong" sound, like the beat of a drum on Lan Yufeng's heart.
His eyes were red as he stared at the people. Finally, his gaze fell on Lan Yuqiao's face sitting in the carriage.
His sister, who used to love him the most, now just sits in the carriage and watches him suffer these humiliations from afar.
Maybe she felt that ordering someone to hold an umbrella for him was the greatest gift to him, but he didn't need it!
He remembered that tomorrow was the day when Qu Li would compete with the high priest, and his eyes were filled with sinisterness and malice!
After such a long absence, the rain finally fell heavily this night.
When he woke up the next day, the sky was blue. Looking through the carved wooden window, Qu Li's mood became very good.
Tianqing helped her put on Xiling's clothes and went to the dining room.
The high priest was not there, he must have gone to the palace.
Today is the day of their official competition, and he will definitely arrange everything in advance.
She finished her breakfast leisurely and got into the carriage accompanied by Tianqing.
As I walked along, the thing I heard most was Lan Yufeng kneeling down to apologize.
Tianqing also doesn't like the Lan family's arrogance, especially Lan Yufeng, who is actually a wolf in human skin.
"People like this should go to hell, have their tongues pulled out, their tendons pulled out, and never be able to be reincarnated."
Qu Li couldn't help laughing and pinched her cheek, "Aren't you afraid that the Lan family will hear about it?"
"I'm not afraid! I'm a maid in the High Priest's Mansion after all. They say you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog!"
Her smile became even more intense. "It's true, but the words are true!"
The carriage stopped, and she immediately saw several heads popping out of the teahouse near the square.
It was the three Changsun Chi brothers and her cousins!
Qu Li's eyebrows jumped.
She had no doubt that if the situation was not sensitive and the Changsun family had not had to keep a low profile, these people would definitely hold up banners and cheer her on!
Although these things may seem a bit childish, they make people feel extremely warm.
"My cousin is looking at me!" Chang Sun Chi's old face turned red, and he smiled like a fool.
"Don't be so self-indulgent. My cousin is clearly looking at me!" Changsun Li no longer cared about the etiquette and morality of a scholar at this time, and spoke shamelessly.
Chang Sun Wu sneered, "You two are really the same. My cousin is clearly looking at me!"
Cousins:!!!
What they really wanted to say was, Qu Li was clearly looking at all of them, so how did he become interested in one specific person?
Helplessly, whether it is their biological father or uncles, they are not easy to deal with, so they can only choose to save their lives by sacrificing their heads.
Qu Li got off the carriage with Tianqing's help.
As soon as she appeared in her gorgeous dress, she attracted countless people's attention.
The high priest stared at her intently, not missing any expression in her eyes or brows.
Noticing his gaze, Qu Li looked up and smiled at him.
"High Priest, please don't release the water for a while!"
"Of course not!" The high priest retracted his gaze.
On this side of the square, Lan Yufeng was kneeling down to apologize in front, and Qu Li was competing with the high priest behind him. More and more people gathered around.
Even the taller teahouses, restaurants and inns around here were booked in advance and were packed.
There were even a few casinos that opened bets on who would win between her and the high priest.
Most people naturally suppress the high priest. After all, in the eyes of Xiling people, the high priest is an omnipotent god.
As for Qu Li, they didn't know her well, and she was too young. Just thinking about it made them feel that there was no way she could win.
The odds were already so high, Qu Li quickly disguised himself as an ordinary passerby and went to various gambling houses to bet on himself to win.
"Someone is suppressing Qu Li to win again!"
Someone in the crowd said this, and it was like a huge rock thrown into the water, causing huge waves.
Qu Li frowned.
Logically speaking, no one is familiar with her, and Xiling has been closed to the outside world for so many years, and the people have become accustomed to being cut off from the news. Apart from the affairs of their own country, they basically will not take the initiative to inquire about anything.
With a quick glance, she instantly guessed who the people who bet on her to win were.
"My cousin is looking at me again!"
"It's obviously me!"
"Are you still shameless? It's obviously me!"
In the private room of the teahouse, three handsome middle-aged men were arguing with each other again because of Qu Li's smile!
