"Master, it's a practitioner, I can hear the footsteps." Xiao Shengzi reminded in a low voice of alertness.

Qingxi sighed in his heart, the secret path was not good, he took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said softly: "You, it shouldn't be a problem for a person to avoid tracking, right?" ”

Xiao Shengzi didn't understand what she meant, but he nodded heavily as if he was confident.

Qingxi hurriedly lowered his head and scooped up a short branch, took out an embroidered handkerchief, wrapped the short branch, and said while wrapping: "It is very important that I have not dug up all the ground things, I need to bring it back to the house." Now you take this fake object and go to the mountain to transfer the tiger away. Then, you must run to the lively streets and go back to the princess's mansion, can you do it? ”

Xiao Shengzi cleverly realized that the situation was very dangerous, and just wanted to open his mouth to worry about her safety, Qingxi immediately followed: "Don't worry about me, remember, if you are safe, I will be safe, understand?" ”

Qingxi was solemn and alert, and his eyes were sharp: "Leave your slingshot to me, quickly." ”

"Oh, oh." Xiao Shengzi hurriedly took off the small pocket on his waist and handed it to her, and then took the small package holding the branches, still a little hesitant.

But footsteps outside the wall were already approaching.

Suddenly, there was a muffled thunderclap, and raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky.

Qingxi hurriedly pushed Xiao Shengzi: "Hurry up." ”

After saying that, she ignored him, and squatted down and pulled up the package with her hand to reveal a corner.

Xiao Shengzi knew that he couldn't delay, so he clenched the package in his hand, turned around and ran.

The downpour fell from the sky, and for a moment, only the sound of the rain was left between the heavens and the earth, muffling out all the other sounds.

Qingxi was soaking wet, but fortunately he got the gray cloth package.

She was excited, nervous, and her heart was beating violently, but so far, no one had entered the Zhu family, and she thought that Xiao Shengzi should have succeeded.

However, Xiao Shengzi left for too short a time to be absolutely safe, she protected the package and hid in the stove room on the side, ignoring the wet rain on her face, carefully put the package into her underwear and put it away closely.

Just as he was about to step out of the stove room, a low shout came from behind him: "Stop!" ”

Qingxi's footsteps were stunned, his heart was cold, and his breathing stopped. But, instantly, she forced herself to compose, took a deep breath, and turned slightly.

I saw a woman's body on the ground exposed on the stove. She was holding a short dagger and pointing it at herself.

Qingxi felt a little at ease, it was a woman. But quickly analyzing the situation, his gesture of holding the dagger was professional and neat, and he was not an opponent. Looking at this picture again, it is very strange, the woman's underground body is hidden in the stove.

She shouldn't have been hiding in the stove, right?

"Who are you? Give me the package! The woman had already crawled out of the furnace, holding a dagger, and approached Qingxi step by step.

Qingxi's breathing became more and more rapid, his blood and qi surged, and he suddenly said sharply: "You are Zhu Lu's missing lady?" ”

The woman froze, obviously not expecting that she would guess her identity. "Who are you? Why is it here? And how do you know that there is something under the osmanthus tree? She asked again.

"I can save you!" Qingxi resolutely exited.

At this time, the sound of rain outside the house decreases.

The woman's face changed slightly, and she was about to say something, when her ears moved sharply: "It's not good, someone is coming." ”

Qingxi was in a thrilling situation, and when there was a sudden change, his heart had already jumped to his throat.

The woman took her arm and followed me in.

Qingxi was puzzled for a while, but the woman's strength was very strong, and she was already dragging her to drill into the furnace.

Under the woman's restraint, she had no ability to resist at all, and seeing that the woman was about to carry her and throw her into the stove, she hurriedly said: "There are my wet footsteps in this room, and it is easy to find us." ”

The woman looked down, and sure enough, because Qingxi was hiding in the stove room from the torrential rain, there were indeed traces on the ground at this time.

Qingxi quickly looked around the small room, and hurriedly said, "There is a window over there, I'll go over there, then open the window and take off my shoes." ”

The woman glanced at her, her ears moved again, and she said hurriedly: "Don't play tricks, there's a small river outside the window." ”

Qingxi smiled: "Don't worry, you are interested in me, I am also interested in you, and I will not run away." ”

As she spoke, she quickly walked to the window under the woman's urgent gaze, opened it, and threw down her shoes.

"Quick, they're in." The woman dragged her and jumped into the stove.

Qingxi only felt that he had fallen heavily and fell into a hole, and his body was hit and painful.

She didn't stand up for a moment, and the woman beside her was already standing there busy with something, as if she was piling up firewood.

Qingxi immediately understood that there was another mystery hidden under this stove, maybe there was another space, and the stove at the entrance.

Her brain moved, she endured the pain and hurriedly got up, saying I will help you, and she also helped her pick up dry firewood.

After three or two clicks, the hole was already covered, and the woman neatly closed the door of a hole and fastened it from the inside.

The two of them crouched down and hid in the narrow hole, and they could both hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.

And there was already a rumbling voice in the house.

"Damn, she's not going to jump into the river and run away." It's a rough male voice.

Qingxi's eyes froze, and he exchanged glances with the woman in front of him, and saw that dense cold sweat had oozed from her forehead.

"To say that you are stupid is to lift you up, a weaker woman who is powerless and pampered can't deal with it." The other person complained.

"Damn, who knew she was so cunning. If it weren't for the kid running away and scattering the package, I wouldn't know that there was a dead wood branch inside, and I didn't know that this tiger left the mountain! ”

Qingxi closed his eyes, this little shengzi, what is good about him! I don't know if I find it now, and no one is following him.

"I told you a long time ago, be careful, who do you think you can still chase alone. There are obviously two people out of this princess's mansion. Waiting for such a good opportunity, you can take the opportunity to end up with her, now it's good, I'm afraid people are back in the princess's mansion! Wash your neck and wait to cut it off. ”

Qingxi was covered in hair, and the conversation between the two fell into her ears, making her cold and trembling slightly.

These two people are coming for themselves, and they only seem to want their own lives.

Why? Why would anyone put themselves to death?

If it is said to be a case of a colt, but he has nothing to do with the case.

Her heart was flustered, and fear was spreading layer by layer.

Her eyes rolled and inadvertently met the eyes in front of her, staring at her like an eagle.

She must have felt that her heart and lungs were pinched together, and she didn't know if the person in front of her would betray her immediately.

The woman's eyes lit up in shock.

Qingxi stared at her for a long time, wanting to speak, but she was afraid of making a noise, and seeing that she had not moved, she felt a little relieved.

The conversation outside continues.

"Don't scare Lao Tzu, if you don't work this time, next time. Even in the princess's mansion, Lao Tzu is not afraid. ”

", what are you bragging. That's the princess's mansion, you really don't know how thick the sky is. We're doing this with the heads of the whole family. ”

"I don't have a whole family. I'm alone. ”

"It's really a piano to a cow!" The man snorted: "Although I don't know what kind of person is going to kill in this operation, but it must be either rich or expensive." The above explained that he could only take advantage of the accident in the princess's mansion to hide people's eyes and ears, otherwise he couldn't move. If you miss it this time, I'm afraid you won't have a chance. ”

"Above, above, above, above I don't know who to tell you, it's so mysterious. This time, we were also notified at short notice that the target was out, and if you told us in advance who it was, why would you let people run away. ”

"Alright, let's think about how to deal with the aftermath. Anyway, I have to destroy some evidence along with it. As soon as he escaped, he took the evidence with him, so you and I will wait. ”

"I think, there is a fire here, even if there is any evidence, it is easy to arrange, anyway, today's lightning and thunder are easy to arrange."

The two men under the stove looked at each other nervously.

The woman pulled Qingxi and motioned for her to go down.

Qingxi wanted to take a closer look, but the woman had already put the dagger against her neck.

She had no choice but to follow the woman into a deeper space.

After the two landed, Qingxi's eyes suddenly opened up, and there was such an underground space under the Zhu family.

It was boxy, with a futon on the floor, and an oil lamp in a recess in the wall, which shimmered in a dim light.

"So, you've been hiding for the past few days

This? Qingxi asked.

The woman put down the dagger, looked at her, and said coldly: "Take out the things in your arms, and then tell me honestly, your identity." Otherwise, I don't have to do it, the two people outside are more anxious than me. ”

Qingxi took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and said firmly: "You won't." Bring those two people in, and you won't survive. ”

Then, she took two steps forward with her head held high, looking more calm: "Why don't we talk about it first, how many secrets do you, the titular Madame Zhu, know?" ”.ν.

The woman was slightly stunned, and then chuckled: "Who gave you the guts, in such a situation, you are still so arrogant." ”

Qingxi stared at her, thinking about it rapidly in her mind for a long time, and then spoke softly, and said lightly: "I am Princess Heng." ”

The woman's pupils were extremely focused, and her entire face changed in shock visible to the naked eye.

"Therefore, what the two people outside did was not only to put the whole family to death, but to set aside the heads of the nine clans to be washed. You should know that the once glorious Prince Guang was thinking about assassinating me, what is happening now? Qingxi raised his eyebrows, revealing a majestic aura, and said calmly: "If you want to save your life, I can save your life." Today, you are lucky to meet me. Now, tell me, who are you? ”

The woman's face was pale, and the corners of her mouth moved, as if she didn't know what to say.

Clearly, she hadn't recovered from her shock.

The two were still in such a stalemate, and there was a heavy crackling sound overhead.

Qingxi frowned, it seems that the two of them really demolished this house.

The woman hurriedly wanted to go up to check the situation, but was stopped by Qingxi: "Want to go out and die?" ”

The woman paused, stared at her and asked, "Are you really Princess Heng?" ”

"Princess Heng, I'm the only one." Qingxi said with a smile.
