Chapter 40: Reading

The speed of flying day and night was too fast, causing Lin Xi's face to be covered with wind and sand scratches and exhaustion, and the thin air in the sky that had been sleepless all day made her exhausted.

She almost rushed into the gate of the Lin Mansion, and the once cage-like confinement had become a place of longing in the year since she left.

The furnishings and atmosphere of the Lin Mansion were completely different from what he expected, and the whole mansion was filled with a demonic atmosphere, gloomy and burning, warm and containing mourning.

Lin Shangde did not greet him, but He Shu. His face was gloomy, and he didn't have the slightest excitement when he saw Lin Xi.

"You shouldn't have come back" He Shu muttered quietly, he saw that there was another person behind Lin Xi, with a huge figure, "Who is this?"

"It's the day and night of the Wing Clan. Lin Xi introduced, "Thanks to him, I was able to travel from Kyoto to Yunnan in one day. ”

"Oh, it's the eldest prince of the Wing Clan" He Shu was as polite and hypocritical as ever. He is most suitable for this kind of hypocritical social occasion, you can point to the position, he asked: "I don't know, does His Highness Chaoxi represent the entire Wing Clan?" The embarrassment on his face, and the expression of embarrassment on his face made people understand a little, and it took a long time before he explained, "That's the case, Lord Lin issued a Xuanming mage Xuanming sticker to call on the nine clans to the world, and all the clans gathered in the Lin Mansion, and all the clans have arrived one after another in the past two days, and there is no shortage of the Wing Clan, which is headed by the princess of Chaodui." ”

Lin Xi suddenly felt that the relationship was particularly complicated, the civil war of the Wing Clan was torn apart into two factions, one party and one party and two factions, the two factions were in dire straits, and the relationship between the various clans was also quite mysterious. The red and white factions of the demon clan in the world originally did not deal with each other, and now there are still demon clans eyeing each other.

"Then is Twilight coming with the White Demon Clan?" Lin Xi asked bluntly, "The boy named Zihan." ”

When He Shu was in Kyoto, Yucaotang's eyeliner was widely distributed, and he had heard a lot about Zihan and Lin Xi, especially the part of the rainbow tea, which had already become a good story after tea and dinner in Kyoto.

"Oh, not really. He Shu's tone was quite cautious, you must know that Lin Xi and Jue Xue have been married, the so-called official couple who have worshiped the high hall, and now they are interrogated like this, and there is already gossip, but it makes people think about it, and the newlywed Yan'er went back to her parents' house alone, and the first thing she said was to ask about the whereabouts of her ex-lover.

"Miss, no, no, now I want to call the Third Imperial Princess," He Shu seemed to ask the East and the West, but in fact, he reminded Lin Xi's current identity in a roundabout way, and he couldn't lose the woman Deyi, "I know that the Third Imperial Concubine cares about the Lin Mansion, but now you are the imperial concubine of the human race and have to take care of the overall situation." ”

Lin Xi was silent and was educated to be speechless.

Lin Shangde seems to have deliberately avoided it and not let people fall into the handle, and now this situation must be a closed door.

"He Shu has always been knowledgeable, every word is reasonable, but Kyoto is here, thousands of miles away, can you borrow me for a night and then go back. At this time, Lin Xi also realized that she was already covered with scars, after all, she did not have King Kong wings to protect her, it can be said that the height was unbearable, and she was also cold and hungry along the way, and the wind was like a blade piercing bones and flesh.

"This big brother is also my life-saving benefactor, without him, I am afraid that I would have died on the way thousands of miles," Lin Xi added.

"Yes, yes, the heroes of the morning and night have already prepared a room for you, the master cooperates with the Xuanming mage Guangzhao to all kinds of heroes, and the Wing Clan is naturally a guest. Saying that, He Shu made a gesture and asked the next person to take Chaoxi to the guest room.

It's just that the embarrassment at the moment is that He Shu and Lin Xi's eyes are relatively deadlocked.

It turned out that I had been doing it for a long time, and it was myself who was not welcome, but this is my mother's home that I want to go back to.

After walking away day and night, only He Shu and Lin Xi were left in the huge living room.

"The little one doesn't know whether to say it or not, and some things must be good for the young lady. He Shu bowed his hand, bowed forward and gave a big salute.

"Say, Lin Shangde asked you to pass on something, no matter how ugly it sounds, it will be reported. Lin Xi was already sore and sore at this time, and his physical strength was exhausted, so he found a mahogany stool and collapsed.

"Third lady, if you don't say goodbye and flee back to your mother's house, you will definitely fall into an unkind and unjust position for the entire Lin Mansion, to put it bluntly, Emperor Jing will kill the whole clan under this pretext, and it may not be impossible" He Shu looked serious, "Again, Master Xuanming's sacrificial ceremony, the collection of various groups of heroes, the relationship is complicated, and the world war is about to break out, so why should Miss be involved." ”

Lin Xi looked outside, the sky was already dark, dark clouds were thick, and there were gusts of demon wind howling.

She was sitting cross-legged, drooping her head, and after listening to He Shu's righteous and stern words, she realized that she couldn't enter this door tonight.

"There's no money, and I didn't bring the blue hairpin" She got up suddenly, He Shu found some blood stains on the stool, and looked at it, it was Lin Xi's calf oozing blood, it was estimated that it was injured by the dust and sand on the road, "Give me some money, I'll stay in the hotel." ”

He Shu's heart was sour, such a weak girl was covered in bruises, and if she didn't know someone, she wouldn't see death without help.

But thinking of Lin Mansion, thousands of eyes are now staring.

"The money and wealth that went out of the Lin Mansion also have the mark of the Lin Mansion. This sentence, He Shu said tremblingly, and he didn't dare to face her.

Lin Xi was speechless for a moment, feeling that there was nowhere to go in the world.

At this time, there was movement outside the house, the sound of sycophants parking, accompanied by black wind and sand, and the hazy moonlight was completely covered by the black whirlwind.

"Knock knock," there was a quick knock on the door. In the past two days, the Lin Mansion has come and gone, and there has been an endless stream of people visiting the door.

But the knock on the door was very strange.

The next man opened the door and looked at it, it was a nine-foot man, tall, wearing a black cloak and couldn't see his face clearly, he wanted to take a closer look by the candlelight, the black was boundless, the face seemed to be a black hole, and the candle flame was extinguished.

"Ahhhh

He Shu and Lin Xi hurriedly rushed to the door instinctively, this black spiritual pressure was naturally alert to the morning and evening at the same time, as well as the morning and evening who had fallen asleep, and the two of them leaned out of the window together and saw each other.

Chaoxi saw the morning and twilight for the first time after becoming an adult, her face was delicate but her expression was capable, and she looked like a heroine among women.

"Your sister is really good-looking," Butterfly teased, "and look at the look in her eyes, I guess she will cut you with a thousand knives." ”

Asuni looked at Chaoxi, and his eyes really recovered. She muttered to herself.

The two of them looked tense, and at this time, the demon wind turned into a black whirlwind and swirled directly towards Lin Shangde's room.

The moonlight is gradually relaxing again.

The man who knocked at the door put down his cloak, and by the moonlight, he could see his handsome face.

He Shu and Lin Xi picked up the housekeeper who had fainted, and the two looked at each other.

This person is definitely not Jue Xuan, firstly, it is impossible for him to come so quickly, and secondly, he looks sluggish, but he is the same as the queen he saw that day, like a puppet, possessed by someone.

"Don't invite me in," Jue said in a weird manner, pushing open the hidden door with one hand.

"The third prince's late-night visit is not welcome," He Shu also noticed some clues, but he couldn't say what was particularly wrong, so he could only push the boat down the river first.

After a while, Lin Shangde hurried from the house, his face haggard, "Lin Xi, why did you come back so quickly, and you didn't spread the word." He looked at Jue Xue as he spoke.

Jue Xue was dressed in black and cloak, which was completely different from the usual outfit, his eyes were hollow, and he exuded a black demonic aura, which was very different from the red and purple clouds and smoke he had always had.

"Returning to my father, it was me and Lin Xi's wedding held in a hurry, this maiden family return gift is indispensable among the three clans, in the human race, in the demon race, in the elf race, it is all necessary" Jue Xuan's tone was calm, a little mechanical. After all, Lin Xi came back single-handedly in the greenhouse, and she and Chaoxi knew about it.

Lin Xi had a score in his heart, the queen instigated her to leave that day and today's Jue Xuan suddenly came to the door, presumably the initiator behind it is the same person, and this person's skills are bottomless.

"I'm tired, my father is busy with Taicang where we arrived, let's retreat first, it's late tonight, and my father is so resting," Lin Xi prevaricated. He Shu was surprised, this young lady obviously just ran away from marriage, why did she change her rhetoric now.

Lin Shangde felt that something was wrong, but the current situation was always out of control. "If you're tired, let's go and rest first. ”

Lin Xi and Jue Xue came to the boudoir where she grew up, Lin Xi looked at his face and was silent.

"What are you looking at?" he said, still expressionless.

"Look at the puppet technique, how to manifest" her eyes were sharp.

"You don't owe it?" he asked, still in a calm tone, "It's a pity. He had turned into dust under Linxi's nose, leaving behind the cloak with something wrapped in it.

It's a picture album, and it's the picture album I saw in Jue Xue's study before.

Compared with the room she was in now, Lin Xi flipped through the pages and was more sure that the portrait was herself, even the candlestick in Lin Xi's room was exactly the same, and the extremely clumsy rabbit lamp she made with her own hands.

"Could it be that the puppet technique needs a personal object?" Lin Xi figured it out instantly, "Presumably the blue bead hairpin is used for this, no wonder the message is spread that the queen turned the curtain on the daughter-in-law's head on the day of the worship, and the puppet has already completed the wedding ceremony for himself."

Now I can't explain it, I am the third princess. She was a little depressed, but looking at the album, she inexplicably remembered the music of beating gongs and drums to welcome the bride on the streets of Kyoto.

How is he doing now? Lin Xi actually laughed at himself for having a trace of thought.

The morning and evening did not fight with the morning and evening, and both of them noticed the strangeness of the house.

"This person is not Jue Ze," the Demon Butterfly recognized Jue Ze's breath, the kind of smell that made her indulge.

Chaoxi nodded, "Then who is he, and who is that black whirlwind just now?"

The demon butterfly was silent, she only knew that the aura was oppressive and she trembled.

And the morning and dusk are waiting for the dawn, Zihan and himself are divided into two roads in the Naxi River, according to the calculation of time, he should be able to meet here tomorrow.
