Chapter 250: Self-preservation

Zhao Qingzao couldn't care so much, looked around for a while, and found that there were several rooms in the courtyard, and none of them were locked, so he ran directly to one of the rooms, and then closed the door tightly.

"I'm scared to death, there is such a big snake hiding in this place. Zhao Qingzao patted his chest and said immediately.

I thought that I would be safe after coming in, but Zhao Qingzao heard a strange noise behind him, turned his head to look, and found that there was a jar in the house, and a large number of poisonous insects actually crawled out of the jar, and now they are crawling in the direction of Zhao Qingzao.

Although Zhao Qingzao is not afraid of these crawling insects, but so many insects suddenly appeared, and they all rushed towards him, no matter who it was, he would definitely be afraid, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao really had no choice, so he could only open the door again, and then ran to the yard.

The snake was coiled in the yard and did not move, after Zhao Qingzao opened the door and escaped, those poisonous insects also crawled out, and there happened to be a large tank filled with water in the yard, Zhao Qingzao ran up with all his might, standing on tiptoe on the edge of the vat, one can prevent those poisonous insects and snakes from crawling to his side, and the other can also prevent himself from falling into the tank.

"No wonder they locked me up in this courtyard, it turns out that there are so many things hidden in it that can kill people!" Zhao Qingzao snorted coldly, and then said, she knew that there must be something strange about this water dragon courtyard, now it seems that Zhao Qingzao did not guess wrong, if she hadn't seen these things when she was in Xishan Pass, it is estimated that she would have been scared to death a long time ago, let alone crawl here to hide.

Although Zhao Qingzao will not be in any danger for the time being, but she can't stand here on tiptoe all the time, Zhao Qingzao will have to go down sooner or later, it is still daytime, so the snakes and poisonous insects on the ground will not be too rampant, but after a night, the situation will be different, and when the time comes, not only the snakes and poisonous insects on the ground, but also other ghosts in this yard will also emerge.

Zhao Qingzao didn't want to sit still, she still had to watch Xiaocao grow up, and she had to deal with Chi Fenglai, so she definitely couldn't just die in the Water Dragon Courtyard.

"Zhao Qingzao, I'm going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, and Chi Mansion won't send you food, even if you are not bitten to death by the things inside, it is estimated that you will be starved to death, poor Xiaocao is still a child of a few years old, and he is about to lose his mother, just like his father Changting, they are all poor children who have not had a mother since childhood, hahaha!" Chi Fenglai has been standing outside the courtyard, and after hearing the movement in the courtyard, Chi Fenglai said with a smug smile.

Listening to Chi Fenglai's piercing laughter, Zhao Qingzao couldn't wait to catch Chi Fenglai into the yard now to feed those poisonous insects, but Chi Fenglai had a sentence right, if she really died here, Xiaocao would lose her mother at that time, the same as Shen Changting, Chi Fenglai killed Shen Changting's mother back then, do you still want to kill yourself now?

Zhao Qingzao narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling more and more that she couldn't die here, even for the sake of Shen Changting and Xiaocao, she had to survive.

"Chi Fenglai, don't be happy too early, a bad-hearted person like you will have retribution sooner or later. Zhao Qingzao snorted coldly, and then said to Chi Feng.

"Zhao Qingzao, don't be reckless, it is estimated that you have been scared to death by the things inside now, you will be slowly tortured inside. Chi Fenglai felt that Zhao Qingzao couldn't escape, so he didn't get angry after listening to what Zhao Qingzao said, but continued to smile and say to Zhao Qingzao, and then Chi Fenglai turned around and left.

The snakes and poisonous insects on the ground seemed to be staring at Zhao Qingzao, and they stayed where they were, Zhao Qingzao originally wanted to find a chance to hide, but he couldn't find a chance at all, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid what Chi Fenglai just said will really come true, and she may really die here.

"Isn't it just a snake? When I was hunting in Xishan Pass, what didn't I ever see?" Zhao Qingzao looked at the snake on the ground fiercely, and then said.

After speaking, Zhao Qingzao took the dagger hidden in his clothes in his hand, took a deep breath, and suddenly jumped to the ground, quickly pinched the snake's seven inches, and then cut off the snake's head with the dagger, because Zhao Qingzao's action was too sudden, even the poisonous insects did not react, and several poisonous insects were trampled to death by Zhao Qingzao, I don't know if they were frightened by Zhao Qingzao, the poisonous insects that originally surrounded Zhao Qingzao dispersed one after another, and they disappeared quickly, as if they had not appeared at all just now.

After the snake was cut off its head, it twisted and moved for a while, Zhao Qingzao gasped, and after cleaning the dagger with water in the water tank, he put the dagger back into his clothes.

The people of Chi Mansion don't give Zhao Qingzao food, and Zhao Qingzao won't let herself starve to death, Chi Fenglai seems to have forgotten that Zhao Qingzao is a person with superb cooking skills, and she once opened a shop, as long as she finds the ingredients, she can make a hearty meal.

The snake on the ground was no longer moving, Zhao Qingzao walked over, squatted on the ground and looked at the snake, and after a while said, "Light the fire and make snake soup to eat." ”

Prime Minister's Office

Shen Changting and Xiaocao finally returned to the house, but Shen Changting had just returned to the house, and saw Xiaoyu walking around the house anxiously, but Zhao Qingzao was gone, Shen Changting knew Zhao Qingzao very well, Zhao Qingzao should rest in the house at this hour, where can she go?

"Xiaoyu, is the young lady out, why isn't she in the house?" Shen Changting asked Xiaoyu after putting Xiaocao on the ground.

Hearing Shen Changting's voice, Xiaoyu immediately turned around and told Shen Changting about Zhao Qingzao being taken to Chi Mansion, and after Shen Changting learned about it, his face immediately changed, if others don't know where Chi Mansion is, how could Shen Changting not know?

Since the death of the eldest lord and the old lady of Chi Mansion, Chi Mansion has been managed by Chi Mansion, and Chi Mansions are the elder brothers of Chi Fenglai and Shen Changting's mother, but he and Chi Fenglai are closer, because Chi Lord's heart is a little more vicious than Chi Fenglai, Shen Changting's mother is kind by nature, and he has been very estranged from Chi and Chi Fenglai since he was a child, and after marrying Shen Kaiyuan, he didn't often correspond, but he didn't expect that something like that would happen in the end, Shen Changting remembered the past, and only felt a pain in his heart, and he couldn't wait to avenge his mother now。

Shen Changting has always felt that with Chi Fenglai's own strength, he can't kill his mother at all, so it is very likely that Master Chi is Chi Fenglai's helper, and now Zhao Qingzao has also been taken away by Master Chi and Chi Fenglai, Shen Changting didn't dare to think about it, turned around and walked outside the house.

"Dad, where are you going? Is my mother in danger?" Xiaocao saw Shen Changting turn around and was about to leave, so he hurriedly chased forward and asked.

"Xiaocao, your mother is just going out to play, Daddy will go and take your mother back to the house now, you can read a book for a while, okay?" Shen Changting paused, then turned his head and said weakly to Xiaocao.

Xiaocao looked at Shen Changting with blinking, and he didn't know what Shen Changting said just now, whether Xiaocao understood it, even so, Xiaocao nodded very sensibly and said, "Dad, I know, I will wait for you and my mother in the house." ”

Seeing Xiaocao so sensible, Shen Changting was also very relieved, but all he was thinking about now was going to Chifu to save Zhao Qingzao, so he turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, Shen Changting had just walked outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he happened to meet Chi Fenglai, who had just returned from Chi's Mansion, and when the two of them saw each other, they couldn't help but be stunned, probably they didn't expect to meet each other here.

"Changting, you finally returned to the house, Fang Cai Qingzao also went to Chi Mansion with me as a guest, but she suddenly said that there was something wrong, so she left in a hurry, did she know that you and Xiaocao had returned to the house, so she was in a hurry to come back and take a look?" After Chi Fenglai reacted, he immediately asked Shen Changting with a smile.

Chi Fenglai was obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open, and Shen Changting had long known that Chi Fenglai was a person, so he wouldn't believe what Chi Fenglai said.

"Auntie, Qingzao didn't go back to the house, and she is so decent, why did she follow you and your uncle to Chi Mansion as a guest?" Shen Changting looked at Chi Fenglai coldly and asked word by word.

"I don't know about this, maybe your uncle thinks the green dates are interesting. Chi Fenglai's face did not change, and continued to say to Shen Changting.

Seeing this, Shen Changting knew that no matter how he inquired, Chi Fenglai would definitely continue to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and refused to tell him the whereabouts of Zhao Qingzao, Shen Changting wanted to rescue Zhao Qingzao, so he could only go to Chu Xingshan for help, otherwise even if Shen Changting went to Chi's mansion to find Master Chi, that old fox would not easily tell him Zhao Qingzao's whereabouts, and Shen Changting knew very well that Master Chi didn't want to see him at all, maybe Shen Changting hadn't entered Chi's mansion yet, and Master Chi had rushed out of the wine glass.

Shen Changting said a lot of ugly things to Chi Feng because of the death of his mother, so Master Chi has a grudge until now, so that for so many years, Shen Changting and Master Chi have not met.

"Since my aunt doesn't know, then I'll go find the jujube myself. Shen Changting looked at Chi Fenglai and then said.

As soon as the words fell, Shen Changting walked past Chi Fenglai and directly asked the coachman to rush to the general's mansion, and after Shen Changting walked away, Chi Fenglai sneered proudly and said, "Shen Changting, I want to see how you can rescue Zhao Qingzao." ”

Shen Changting rushed all the way to the General's Mansion, and after entering the mansion, he saw Chu Xingshan practicing in the courtyard, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Chu, something is wrong, Qingjube was arrested by the people of Chi Mansion." ”

"What? Brother Shen, you just said that the green jujube was taken away by the people of Chi Mansion? Could it be that Chi Fenglai is already so bold, and he actually dares to take the green jujube?" Hearing what Shen Changting said, Chu Xingshan immediately asked Shen Changting.

"Qingzao was indeed taken away by the people of Chi Mansion, and it was Chi Fenglai who took Master Chi to the Prime Minister's Mansion to arrest people, but Chi Fenglai refused to admit that he died, and now he said that Qing Zao left Chi Mansion ahead of schedule, even she didn't know where Qing Zao went, and she was obviously lying. Shen Changting was very angry and anxious, so he could only briefly explain what had happened, hoping that Chu Xingshan would think of a way to rescue Zhao Qingzao.

However, even Shen Changting couldn't do anything about it, where could Chu Xingshan, who had a tendon, think of any good ideas? The two of them could only spin around in the courtyard in a hurry.
