Chapter Seventy-Two: Tidying Up the Cave
Suddenly, Xiao Jingchen's eyes were bloody, his gaze was sharp, and he suddenly locked on to an inconspicuous direction by the side window.
Xiao Jue immediately understood, and when he flew forward, there was a slight noise outside the door.
The guard, knowing that he had been discovered, immediately turned around and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, he stepped on the light drum board on the ground, making a slight noise.
At this moment, he couldn't care so much, the guard gritted his teeth, knowing that he had been exposed, and if he didn't take another way, there would be only a dead end, so he turned around and used his martial arts, ready to fly away.
After walking a long distance, the guard breathed a sigh of relief, and gasped for a light breath, and in order to prevent tracking, he also took a long detour.
Now it's time to go back the way you came.
But he didn't want to, as soon as he turned around, he saw a man standing in front of him.
Looking at this appearance, he had been standing for a long time, but he didn't notice this person's breath at all.
This man's martial arts are set above him!
"Where are you going?" Xiao Jue looked at him with a smile.
Although this guard's martial arts skills were not very good, he was able to do it lightly, so it took him a long time to catch up.
How could the guard answer his question, his heart was beating wildly, and he only paused for a few seconds before continuing to escape.
But this time, Xiao Jue didn't give him a chance.
He immediately threw the sword in his hand and stabbed straight into the guard's leg.
"Ah!!h
A terrible scream was heard, and the guard fell to the ground in pain.
Xiao Jue didn't lift his eyelids, walked forward quickly, grabbed his neck guard collar like a chick, and lifted it up.
"That's it, still be a secret guard. ”
With a cold snort, Xiao Jue carried him on his shoulders and returned to the Battle King's Mansion.
"Lord Wang. Back at the Battle King's Mansion, Xiao Jue threw him on the ground.
"Bring back a dead body?" Xiao Jingchen looked at the guards underground, unconscious.
This kind of dark guard hides a lot of poison under his tongue, and when he is discovered, he will immediately bite his tongue and kill himself, and he will not be able to get useful value at all.
When his subordinates caught him, the poison under his tongue had been dug out by his subordinates, and a white cloth was stuffed on his mouth. Xiao Jue naturally understood this.
But even so, there is little hope of obtaining information.
"Wake up. ”
With an order, Xiao Jue picked up a basin of cold water next to him and poured it on the dark guard's body.
The guard writhed like a maggot, and it didn't take long for him to open his eyes.
After seeing Xiao Jingchen, his eyes were shocked, and he subconsciously wanted to bite the poison and commit suicide.
But he found that his mouth was covered.
"Do you know what to do? Xiao Jue stiffened his voice coldly, restraining his movements, making it impossible for him to escape.
The dark guard's eyes widened, and he looked at Xiao Jingchen, and then at Xiao Jue.
"You should understand in your heart that you only have two choices now, either live or die. ”
The last sentence seemed to be a warning bell, and the bell echoed in the heart of the dark guard, stirring up turbulent waves.
He began to ponder that, indeed, in this case, he had no choice but to choose obedience.
Rather than die, it's better to fight......
Thinking of this, his eyes were determined.
Xiao Jue naturally noticed it, so he took off the white cloth that was stuffed in his mouth.
"You despicable people, don't think that I don't know, even if I tell you all the information, you will kill me, because you will not use unfaithful people like me, you ........."
Before the secret guard finished speaking, Xiao Jingchen threw out the cup in his hand, and the originally blunt rim of the cup seemed to turn into a sharp blade, leaving a bloody mark on the guard's neck.
It all happened so quickly that the guard's life died in an instant, his eyes widened and he couldn't bat at a glance, and then his body collapsed limply on the ground.
"Waste is a lot of talk. Xiao Jingchen snorted coldly, looking impatient: "Xiao Jue, I will take the punishment for tonight's matter." ”
"Yes. Xiao Jue knelt on the ground, also annoyed by his behavior just now.
I was going to give it a go, but I didn't want the guard to be loyal.
He lifted the guard's limp body, and suddenly, a piece of chalcedony fell from his clothes.
The chalcedony glowed red all over and was carved with a phoenix motif.
Hundred phoenixes and phoenixes, leading the hundred phoenixes......
Empress!
There was another line of small characters engraved on the side of the chalcedony, which undoubtedly confirmed Xiao Jue's thoughts.
Looking at Xiao Jingchen again, his expression was faint, and he couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow.
This major discovery seems to be a warning bell ringing in the hearts of everyone.
Why did the queen do this, and what did it do to him?
Could it be ...... She has teamed up with the concubine?
In an instant, things became confusing, and just as everything was about to be clear and the truth was revealed, a thin veil was shrouded, as if it were vague and illusory.
Xiao Jingchen groaned slightly: "Go and keep an eye on the harem." ”
"Yes!" Xiao Jue said loudly.
Soon, Xiao Jingchen noticed a pool of blood on the ground again, his eyes were a little colder, and he quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the folds in his hand.
"Dispose of this. ”
"......" Xiao Jue knew that his master loved cleanliness, although he couldn't laugh or cry, but he began to reply vigorously: "Yes!"
Palace
"The Queen Mother. The queen's own daughter, Princess Ronghua, was helped over by the maidservant, her voice was warm, but her eyes were empty.
"Ronghua, why are you here?" The queen immediately stood up and supported Princess Ronghua in place of the maidservant, and her tone was slightly blamed: "Your eyes are not good, if something happens, what should you do with the queen mother?"
Princess Ronghua smiled gently: "Queen Mother, although my eyes are not good, I have lived in the palace for a few years, and I already know every scene and color in this palace, and the queen mother doesn't have to care." ”
These words did not comfort the queen in the slightest.
It made her eyes red.
It's obviously just a year old, but it's also sensible and distressing.
If it weren't for her former youth and vigor, her daughter would not have ended up like this.
"Ronghua, don't worry, the queen mother will do her best to cure you, I heard that there is a ghost doctor in the rivers and lakes, who can do anything, but he can't see it with his small eyes, he will definitely have a way. After saying this, there were already tears in the queen's eyes.
But Ronghua smiled gently, and heard some whispered sobs from the queen mother, she stretched out her hand, tentatively groped, and then put her hand on the queen's eyes, and gently wiped her tears.
"I can't see the view, but I can smell the refreshing fragrance of flowers, I can hear the gurgling of water, I can smell the tempting aroma of food, maybe because I can't see, so my other senses are sharpened, and I don't think it's a bad thing. ”
"After all, the queen mother owes you ......" The queen bowed her head and sighed, and then raised her head, her eyes were already full of monstrous hatred.
She clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down, her eyes returning to the look of not caring about anything before.
