The heavy snow had stopped overnight, and the weather finally cleared, and the sun shone brightly in the snow.

Imperial Palace Zhai Xing Pavilion

In the platform, the white yarn dances lightly, and the fragrance of tea overflows. In the middle, a woman in white sits on a futon, her black hair is scattered, she is wearing a white fox fur, and she strokes the piano in her hand.

Opposite her lay a young man in a purple brocade robe, who was hiding his face with a fan and closing his eyes.

A figure flashed and fell lightly.

This person is Situ Mingyuan.

He lifted the light veil, sat down slowly, and took a sip of the hot tea on the table. Cautiously spoke, "Master, those members of the Qi family have escaped. ”

The purple-robed man took away the fan on his face and gently incited, "I know." I have returned to the monarch in this matter, and he has sent someone to Wucheng to pick up people before you. ”

Situ Mingyuan's body was stunned, and he twisted up a piece of purple paste, "Aren't we going to interfere in this matter?" ”

"I have other plans." Yuan Qi raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on Situ Mingyuan, "There is one more thing, it was not the old man of the Qi family who fought with you that day, there was another master in this matter." He threw out a note, "Last night, your senior brother went to the Qi Mansion to investigate, and accidentally intercepted the letter of the old son of the Qi family, and found that he had already returned to Kyoto. ”

Situ Mingyuan took it and opened the note, which read:

Old man, we were calculated, and before you left, there were bad people who came to harm, and Xiao Yue and I temporarily went to Wucheng Helan's house to avoid the limelight. Come back soon, we are here for you.

Situ Mingyuan sighed secretly, "It seems that there is indeed someone around that girl." ”

"The king wants to send these girls to Linyue Villa, that person will follow if he wants to, you secretly go to find out what he is about." Motoki commanded.

"Linyue Villa!" Situ Mingyuan was surprised.

He had the privilege of hearing it from Grand Elder Zuri. That Linyue Villa is a forbidden place, which first belonged to the Qin family, an ancient family, and then the Qin family disappeared overnight, and the royal family secretly collected it for their own use.

Yuan Qi was silent, and walked towards the study with a pu fan.

As the last note falls, the song is finished.

The woman in white looked up and saw that her skin was like condensed fat, her face was like a delicate flower, and a strand of broken hair was floating on her forehead, which added a bit of charm to her delicate and gentle. A pair of peach blossom eyes sparkled, watching the purple figure gradually disappear until it disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Little junior sister, the master has already gone away." Situ Mingyuan's eyes were contemptuous and slightly mocking.

The woman in white was the youngest of the four disciples of the high priest, Feng Nian.

She turned her head and looked at the frivolous man.

His expression was cold, "I know." ”

The voice is crisp and melodious.

Situ Mingyuan was annoyed, as if he wanted to say something but felt powerless to complain.

Feng Nian ignored him anymore and got up with the qin. With a tap between her feet, a cyan aura appeared, lifting her up and heading towards the Liuyun Pavilion where she lived.

The white yarn fluttered in the wind, and the pavilion was empty, leaving only the hot tea on the table steaming hot.

Wucheng border

As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow falls through the forest, and as the last clouds obscure it, the night falls completely.

Luohe Inn

Qi Yue got out of the carriage with the fox in his arms and followed Xiao Cheng into the inn together.

The wind was biting, and she couldn't help but shiver.

She was already a little thinly dressed, and she didn't feel cold when she was in the City Lord's Mansion, but now when she left Wucheng, the cold swept towards her like a wild horse. This situation is really worse for her.

Tighten the fox in his arms, and now it is the only one who can bring warmth.

Siyin's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he noticed something unusual, "There is something strange about this inn. ”

The feet that stepped on the threshold froze in place, Qi Yue looked around, "What's wrong?" ”

"Yin Qi is too heavy." The tip of the fox's tail moved slightly, and he secretly cast a spell, and a small electric current flowed on the surface of Qi Yue's body, so subtle that no one noticed.

She only felt a warm current hit her heart, and glanced at the fox in her arms. It's tiring to hold this guy, but it's really hot.

"There will be ghosts?"

The fox closed his eyes and said leisurely, "Yes." ”

When the words fell, she only felt that the warmth just now was completely gone, and a cold breath came to her face, swallowed her saliva, and panicked in her heart, "You will protect me, right?" ”

"Yes." The fox yawned, curled his tail, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

In the inn, Tang Wei and his entourage sat around the table, looking at the little girl who was stunned at the door, only to see her shaking the white fox in her arms, and looking around from time to time, with a strange expression, I am afraid that it is not premeditated.

Tang Wei shouted impatiently, "Miss Qi, it's getting dark, don't hurry up and enter the house!" Do you want to seize the opportunity to escape? ”

This Lord Tang, I have heard that it is not a good stubble, but now he is really mean-spoken, and he actually talks to a little girl who is still underage, and mocks endlessly.

Even if he didn't have his mother's instructions to let him take care of this girl, he Xiao Cheng would not be able to see a child being bullied.

The more Xiao Cheng thought about it, the more unjust he became, and the sword in his hand was put heavily on the table, "Lord Tang, what you said is wrong. There is no one in the wilderness, there is a popular inn around, where can her little doll go! He patted the empty seat next to him and beckoned to Qi Yue at the door, "Qi girl, come in, it's warm in the house." ”

Tang Wei glared angrily, snorted coldly, and turned his head to the side. In his heart, he Xiao Cheng is just a martial artist, relying on women to be valued by the emperor, and he disdains to argue with him.

Hearing Xiao Cheng shouting, Qi Yue came back to his senses, raised his head and agreed, "Eh! I'll come in. With the cold wind in the house, she turned sideways and closed the door, but for some reason, she felt even colder.

Sitting beside Xiao Cheng obediently, the hands holding the fox tightened unconsciously.

She looked around the room, it was very clean, the tables, chairs, and cabinets were shiny. At the counter, a middle-aged woman in a dark green cotton robe knocked on an abacus, with an excellent figure, and a half-old Xu Liang.

The two young boys were busy before and after, serving the dishes neatly, and after a while, the table was full of delicious food.

All this looks normal, but the fox's sentence that there is a ghost makes her state of mind unable to calm down for a long time.

On the other side, Tang Wei had already moved his chopsticks first, twisted a big chicken leg that looked crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, and then several soldiers also picked up vegetables and started eating.

glanced at the girl of the Qi family on her side, and saw that she was stunned for a long time, Xiao Cheng took a piece of Dongpo meat and put it in her bowl, "Qi family girl, move the chopsticks." ”

Qi Yue nodded in thanks, and was about to put it in his mouth when a warm voice sounded in his head.

"Don't eat it."

It's the fox sound.

It seems that it really shouldn't be taken lightly, since the fox says that there are ghosts, there must be.

Qi Yue's face did not change, and the Dongpo meat in his hand pretended to fall. touched Xiao Cheng beside him, and the two looked at each other.

Seeing that she shook her head lightly, her expression was serious.

Xiao Cheng comprehended, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and whispered, "But is there something wrong?" ”

Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, he couldn't tell him that there were ghosts in the inn so he couldn't eat indiscriminately, thought for a while, rolled his eyes, and whispered: "Brother Xiao doesn't know, I'm an alchemist, I smelled the wrong smell of this dish just now, and there was something in it, so I told you not to move the chopsticks first." ”

The four brothers and sisters in the family, only he has no roots and bones and cannot cultivate, and the alchemist does not have that wisdom root, so he became a martial artist from martial arts. This girl is actually an alchemist, and she is very young and has a blue heart, but she is impressive.

Xiao Cheng had a look of appreciation in his eyes, and couldn't help but praise, "Alchemists are rare, and I thank you for reminding me." ”

Tang Wei, who was originally eating fragrant, saw the two whispering, put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Have you eaten well?" ”

Xiao Cheng straightened his waist and glanced at the dishes in front of him, "Lord Tang didn't notice anything unusual?" ”

"What's unusual? What did General Wu Ning want to say. Tang Wei raised his eyebrows, his eyes were not good.

"I'm afraid I'll have to ask this boss lady." His gaze fell, and Xiao Cheng pointed to the middle-aged woman who was hanging her head at the counter.

Tang Wei felt bad, and before he could open his mouth, his stomach turned upside down, and an extremely disgusting taste surged up from his throat, and with a "wow" sound, all the food he had just eaten spit out.

He was hunched over, propped up his stomach, his face was pale, and large beads of sweat were rolling down, looking very painful.

The rancid smell permeated the room, and Qi Yue and the others hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, looking afraid.

I saw that in the pool of vomit, the food scraps were mixed with wriggling white worms, and they struggled to crawl towards Tang Wei's feet.

"Ahh What is it! Tang Wei screamed in fright, stepped on it hard, and the insects exploded.

Seeing Tang Wei's tragic situation, several soldiers who had moved the dishes and chopsticks beside him panicked and vomited.

And the proprietress at the counter was standing behind a few people at some point, her face was pale like a ghost, and she looked at a few people with pity, "A few people are still satisfied with the delicious food on this table." ”

Tang Wei got up with difficulty, walked behind Xiao Cheng tremblingly, pointed at the woman, and asked angrily, "What are you giving us food?" You dare to murder the people of the royal family! ”

"Hahahaha! Royal family? The woman was still laughing and trembling one second, and the next second, her eyes were instantly sharp, and her palms were patted, "Isn't the royal family amazing?" ”

The applause fell, and the two little two, who were enthusiastic before, were like walking corpses, their faces were pale, and the eyeballs in their sockets disappeared, turning into two black holes.

They walked stiffly from the side room.

Tang Wei was so frightened that he closed his mouth, and he had long lost his arrogance and anger. I saw that his body trembled, his face was pale, and there was only fear in his eyes.

Glancing at the other warriors, they had already collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

Now only hiding behind Xiao Cheng is the only way to save his life.

Xiao Cheng got up and protected Qi Yue behind him.

Raising his sword and pointing directly at the woman in front of him, "The people of the ghost clan!" ”
