Chapter 119: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
The silver sword light streaked a long trail of blood in the air, and a miserable scream pierced the quiet night sky of Zhong'an Palace.
At the same time, Cuihuan, who was walking quickly on the palace road, seemed to notice something, suddenly stopped her footsteps, turned to look in the direction of Zhong'an Palace, and in her ears, a cold wind blew, blowing out the lantern she was holding in her hand, and a chill hit her back.
She looked around nervously, but she didn't see a single figure, and at this moment she felt as similar to the feeling she had felt when she suddenly heard the sound of stones falling on the long corridor of Zhong'an Palace.
In this high wall and red tile, there are people who die tragically almost every day, and among their palace maids and eunuchs, there will always be words of unjust souls asking for their lives, so that in this night, if it is not necessary, they must not walk alone on this long palace road.
Perhaps, the next day, you won't have a chance to see the sun again.
In the past, Cuihuan only heard about such things from their mouths, but she never expected that one day she would encounter such a thing in person.
On the long palace road, without the illumination of the lantern, it was suddenly shrouded in the dark twilight, recalling the gossip in the mouth of the palace maid in the past, Cuihuan couldn't help but be afraid, holding the lantern in one hand, and the other hand was flustered in his arms and holding the fire fold, but the more panicked his heart, the more he failed to get his wishes.
However, after some nervousness, Cuihuan finally took out the fire fold, but she lowered her head and was about to blow it, and when she lit the lantern, a white shadow suddenly floated in front of her, so fast that it seemed to be a wind.
However, Cuihuan clearly felt the soft skirt brushing over her face, so clear that she had to be frightened! The fire fold in his hand fell to the ground with a 'snap', and there was a crisp sound on this long palace road, so clear.
"Who?! Come out for me! Don't pretend to be ghosts there, I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world at all. Cuihuan roared loudly into the night sky, but although her voice was loud, the trills in her words revealed her true thoughts.
Before the last note of her words fell, the white shadow floated ghostly past her eyes, this time closer than the last. There was also an eerie and terrible voice in his ears: "Cuihuan, give me back my life." …… I was killed by you and Su Jieyu, and you returned my life. ”
The white figure followed the voice of the words in front of Cuihuan, which added a touch of gloom to the voice.
However, the most terrifying thing is not her words, nor the white shadow, but the white shadow only has a body, and it has no head! In the dark, she could only see her body shaking!!
Cuihuan wanted to see her head in the night, but no matter how round her eyes were, she couldn't see the head.
Seeing this, Cuihuan was already frightened, her body trembled, her legs were weak, and she sat on the ground with a 'bang', looking at the white figure that was still wandering back and forth in the air, and said in a trembling voice: "That...... Those are ...... It's not what I'm going to do, I'm just ...... Just obeyed Su Jieyu's orders...... If you want to ask for your life, go to Su Jieyu. …… Don't look for me, I'm ...... Innocent. Just spare me! ”
The voice seemed to be very dissatisfied with Cuihuan's words, only to hear a cold snort, and said coldly: "If you have a little kindness, how can I die in your hands." But ......"
However, the voice suddenly changed, but the words that followed did not go on, but stopped, and the white shadow also stopped in front of her, floating in mid-air, Cuihuan looked up, and became more and more scared in her heart.
She said, "But what? As long as I can do it, I will not postpone it. I'm going to give it a treat. ”
After all, this Cuihuan has been on an errand in this palace for many years, and when he heard this, he immediately understood that things had taken a turn for the better, so he said with a hasty promise.
"Recently, Su Jieyu has the intention of murdering people again?" The voice asked coldly.
Cuihuan was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling a little strange, but before she was afraid, she didn't think about it again, lest she would ask for her life in front of her. Then, she said: "Su Jieyu is planning to get rid of Princess Rui these days, because the two of them had a dispute in the back garden some time ago, and Su Jieyu suspected that the emperor had a good impression of Princess Rui, so she vowed to get rid of her." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the creaking of her hand joints, and when she looked up, she saw her hands clenched tightly, presumably very angry after hearing her words. But, immediately, she lowered her head again, after all, in this big night, looking at a headless body is a very frightening thing.
She had to look as little as possible to alleviate her fears. Although, at this moment, she is already very scared.
Sure enough, as soon as she thought like this, the voice said again: "Then what is her plan?!" ”
"I don't know what Su Jieyu's specific plan is, I just listen to her orders, and I will do whatever she says." Cuihuan hurriedly raised her head and said, lest she accidentally kill her again.
"Really?" The voice seemed to be a little skeptical of her words.
Cuihuan immediately nodded in response: "I don't dare to deceive you." "In the face of death, loyalty or anything stands aside, and there is no life, so what's the use of those loyalty!
"Well, I'll trust you for now. Then tell me everything she told you to do. The voice stopped, as if pondering Cuihuan's words, before speaking.
Cuihuan prostrate on the ground, buried his head, and said: "Su Jieyu only asked me to contact outside the palace, but except for the last time I was a message, the rest of the time was a letter exchange, so I don't know what Lu Dao's letter said." ”
"Outside the palace?" The voice muttered and asked, "Who are you contacting?" ”
"We don't know each other's identities, and we only communicate through codes." Cui Huan replied, then stopped, as if thinking of something again, she said again: "However, through the conversation with Su Jieyu in the past few days, it seems that the person who is the most difficult person has something to do with Princess Rui, and that person also wants to get rid of her, so the two of them will contact." ”
At this time, Cuihuan only felt that the more she said, the more satisfied she would be, no matter whether the other party was a human or a ghost, as for whether she betrayed Su Lianrong or the connector outside the palace, it was not up to her.
For the sake of the present day, I will do my best to save my life in the presence of this man.
Hearing this, the hand hanging by his side tightened a little, and the light words sounded in the air: "Is it really you?" But these words were said very lightly, although they seemed a little clear in the night sky, but at this time, the wind blew through his ears and blurred it, so Cuihuan couldn't hear it really, and vaguely felt a little ethereal.
Half a sound, no sound was heard, Cuihuan raised his head and asked cautiously, "I don't know if you are satisfied with these?" ”
As soon as Cuihuan said this, it took a while for the voice to remember, Xu was pondering, and she said, "It's still satisfied." ”
"That'...... Can I go? Cuihuan asked cautiously.
"This time, for the sake of you telling Su Jieyu about your evil deeds, I will spare your life for the time being, if there is a next time, I will not forgive. Let's go. The voice said mercilessly.
Hearing this, Cuihuan seemed to notice a pair of cold and sharp eyes shooting at her, she was startled, and immediately nodded in agreement: "There will definitely be no next time, thank you for not killing." Cuihuan kowtowed as he spoke, and then groped on the ground in a panic, and only then rushed forward directionlessly after touching the lantern and the fire fold, not even daring to turn his head.
It was as if he was afraid that the white shadow would regret it again in the next moment and take her life.
However, if she turned her head, she would see that the white shadow had fallen steadily to the ground at this time, turned around, raised her hand, and removed the black mask on her neck, and suddenly, the face of the alluring city was revealed.
Her nose is condensed with jade, her lips are painted with vermilion, and her apricot eyes are smiling. It's just that the smile in her eyes is not deep, and there is even a touch of coldness.
The gaze that watched Cuihuan flee from his figure in the night was even more cold.
She, not someone else. It was Shen Yunxi who spied on Su Lianrong on the roof of Zhong'an Palace, and then acted separately from Xiao Yihan. Naturally, it was Xiao Yihan who appeared in Zhong'an Palace before and waved a dagger at Su Lianrong.
"Good. Shen Yunyou, you dare to use your brain on me again, you'd better have the ability to bear this consequence! Otherwise, you don't know how you really died. ”
Shen Yunxi's red lips hooked up a cold and cruel smile, then he suddenly threw away the black mask in his hand and turned around and walked in the direction of the heavenly prison.
However, before she could reach the wall of the prison, she saw a group of guards walking in her direction, and she was about to turn around and hide in the shadows, but before she could hide, one of the people in the team found her trace, took a sword, pointed angrily in the direction where she was, and shouted, "Who is it?" Come out! ”
Come out? Is she a fool? Do you want to be caught by them?
Shen Yunxi smiled sarcastically, and then ran in the other direction without hesitation.
Seeing this, the guards behind him immediately drew the long sword in his hand and shouted to his companions: "Assassin! Pursue! As soon as the words fell, the guards walked in the direction of Shen Yunxi.
Shen Yunxi's light skills are excellent, but these Imperial Forest Soldiers are not rice bucket people, and they still haven't been able to get rid of them after escaping for half an hour. Shen Yunxi stopped at the three-way intersection, and when she was hesitating to go left or right, a black shadow appeared in the darkness and ran towards her, and the man glanced at the guards behind her who were rushing towards her, and his eyes were deep.
How did you get targeted by the guards?!
He didn't think much about it, immediately accelerated, flew down beside Shen Yunxi, and said, "Yunxi, follow me." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Shen Yunxi to answer, his warm palm pulled her forward and flew straight away. Seeing this, the guards also quickened their feet and chased after them.
If you don't catch up, you won't give up!
