Chapter 4: The Night of Bamboo Leaves (Part I)
Outside the courtyard of the Nanhuan Palace, the palace maids gradually approached, and everyone had a worried look on their faces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info If there is any accident in the royal family, the unlucky ones are these slaves and maids who are like mustards.
The silver-haired old slave's face was now blue and white, and some terrible consequences were constantly playing out in his mind, if he hadn't seen some bigger scenes, I am afraid he would have been scared to death a long time ago.
"What's going on inside, boss? This ......" A little eunuch thought that he was more familiar with the silver-haired old man, so he stepped forward and asked softly.
However, before he finished asking, he only heard the silver-haired old man spit out the word "roll" in a muffled voice, and saw that the short eunuch was knocked away several feet away with a "bang", and hit a pine and cypress, with a click, I am afraid that the entire vertebrae are broken.
The silver-haired old man's heart was already restless, and now he who didn't have long eyes to provoke himself, just enough to use it to vent his anger. Seeing this, everyone present lowered their heads and was silent.
The little eunuch also had an iron body, and he could still stay awake after being knocked away, but the pain still made him unconsciously cry out "oops, oops".
The silver-haired old man at the moment felt harsh when he heard any sound, and his fists clenched and prepared to strike again to destroy this annoying stupid slave. Just as he raised his hand, a white light lit up in the night sky a little farther away, and in the blink of an eye, it had already fallen in front of the old man.
"There are many ways to deal with minions, but protecting the prince is so incompetent." The white light dissipated, and the long-haired man appeared in front of everyone. He didn't look at everyone's panic, nor did he look at the silver-haired old slave, but walked straight to the hall.
The silver-haired old slave was slightly stunned, his face finally showed a hint of relief, and he hurriedly followed, and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Commander Bai, it's really good." Your Majesty is really wise, and if you send you a shot, you will definitely be able to bring the prince back safely. ā
The long-haired man didn't like to say much, his eyes glowed slightly, and he was looking around in the dormitory.
"Commander Bai, I'll report to Niangniang and inform me that you are here." Due to the palace rules, men are not allowed to enter the inner room of the dormitory directly, not to mention that the mother has just given birth and is untidy. The silver-haired old slave obviously thought about this, and immediately ran to the inner room excitedly.
"No need." The long-haired man grabbed the void forward, spread out his palm, and a half-black and half-silver hair appeared. The hair slowly floated in his hands, knotting itself into a white ball of light. With a soft and crisp "boom", the ball of light flew onto the hilt of one of the shorter green swords on the man's waist.
After the man grasped the sword, a faint white light appeared in front of him, the light began with the scabbard and ended in the distance, beyond the range of sight.
All these tricks are not visible to others. The silver-haired old slave who was always standing on the side watched the long-haired man make some strange movements, but he didn't dare to say more. The four elite leaders under the Dragon Emperor have their own strengths, and it is said that "Bai" is good at tracking and assassinating, and is very secretive.
The long-haired man took the glowing green sword from his waist, held it in his hand, and turned to walk out.
"Commander Bai, this, you ......" The old slave saw that the long-haired man was about to leave without asking or checking, and he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly followed and asked.
"The captor of the prince should be a human race, a woman, about fifty years old. Tell me about this person's origins. The long-haired man walked out of the temple gate, looked to the west, and asked in a calm voice.
"Yes, the Commander is vast and wise." The old slave breathed a sigh of relief, he was able to figure out the basic characteristics of the other party in such a short time, and he was worthy of being the "right-hand man" of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor.
The long-haired man was disgusted by these sycophants, and his brow furrowed slightly, showing his annoyance.
The old slave also realized that this was not the time to pat on the back, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, the evil woman who robbed the prince is the personal maid of Concubine Feng, who entered the palace with marriage, usually silent, and has no friends in the palace......" The old slave deliberately paused for a while, thought about it carefully, and said: "I don't want to say much about the others, in short, there was only the Qin family who delivered the baby at that time." ā
"Just a mortal? Not practicing magic? ā
"There shouldn't be, if there are slaves and maids who practice divine arts, they need to report to the Internal Affairs Office. There are so many guards in the palace, secretly refining divine arts without being known, that realm must at least be above the 'shade', and if a woman has such cultivation, she will inevitably be concerned by the temple. No, it's just a mortal. ā
"How long has she been on the run?"
"It's been about half an hour...... shouldn't run too far, but I don't know how she got out of the palace, maybe there are other details in the palace...... Damn it! The old slave answered the question and analyzed it himself.
"Half an hour to flee a hundred miles, definitely not a mortal, hum!" The long-haired man snorted coldly, and the white qi lines on the soles of his feet swirled up, turning into a white light in an instant, flying towards the west.
ā¦ā¦
Hundreds of miles away, in the bamboo forest, the moonlight leaking through the clouds illuminated a shuttling figure. The figure has never landed, as if walking in the air, and between the walks, it is not contaminated with a single bamboo leaf.
"Wow! Wow! The baby's cry caused the bamboo leaves to rattle, and the figure in the rush stopped.
"Uh-huh, don't cry, don't cry, my little princess." The old woman of the Qin family shook the swaddling clothes in her left hand and gently persuaded, "From now on, there will only be two people, mother-in-law and you...... Well, but where are we going? ā
The baby was extremely well-behaved, probably only feeling discomfort because of moving too fast, and as soon as the speed slowed down, he stopped crying, grabbed his little hand to the sky, and laughed happily.
The old woman of the Qin family smiled faintly, stroked the baby's little face with her right hand, and sighed: "It's exactly the same as the princess at the beginning, she doesn't like to cry, she just loves to laugh ......" Before she finished speaking, the old woman frowned, glanced behind her, and said to herself: "I didn't expect that there was such a master in the palace who could chase after him so quickly." ā
The old woman muttered to herself as she took out a delicate wooden locket from her cuff. Pushing the lid open, there are ten gold needles inside, each with a needle eye, which seems to be used for embroidery and sewing. Ten gold needles are arranged in order in the box, from left to right, from short to long.
On the left, the thinnest and shortest golden needle was taken out by the old woman: she saw her right hand raised upward, and a trace of green light passed through the eye of the needle, and then she took the needle and led it horizontally and vertically in front of the swaddling clothes, back and forth five times. Finally, a gold needle was inserted into the outer layer of cloth. The old woman gently let go of her left hand, and the swaddling clothes flew out of thin air, and hundreds of green threads interspersed back and forth around it, until the baby disappeared into the night with the swaddling clothes.
Seeing this, the old woman sighed slightly, pulled out the penultimate golden needle, pinched it on her fingertips, and waited for the enemy who came quickly.
