Huanhuan looked at Ling'er, who was covered in blood, hesitated to step forward, and reached out to hold her still trembling hand.

"Ling'er, what's wrong?"

Ling'er didn't answer, just looked at Huanhuan quietly with tears in her eyes, and couldn't feel any of her emotions, as if she was a pool of stagnant water, no longer alive.

Seeing this, Huanhuan was frightened, and when he saw Ling'er covered in blood, he guessed that it was not the princess who was doing the trick.

"Is the princess here again?"

"Nope." Ling'er opened her mouth to squeeze out the word, then let go of the hand that was holding He Li's shirt tightly, and struggled out of He Li's embrace.

Seeing her like this, He Qi was embarrassed to hold her again, put her down gently, and made sure that she could stand firm before walking towards Li Zerong.

Li Zerong didn't care about what happened to Ling'er. He stood not far behind Huanhuan, looked coldly at Ling'er, who was covered in blood, and said, "This blood is not hers." ”

He Qi nodded and said softly: "She was found at the back lake, and when I saw her, she was covered in blood. ”

"What's around her?" Li Zerong saw Ling'er leaning on Huanhuan's arms not far away, and suddenly felt a little worried, watching their every move nervously.

"There was no fight, no blood, I was alone by the lake, my expression was a little weird, and the whole person was a little strange."

"Go check the relationship between Mo Niang and that person." Li Zerong's fox eyes narrowed slightly, looking mysterious and ruthless, "I'm afraid he can't wait, and he found that thing in advance." ”

"That thing isn't in the girl's hands?"

Li Zerong shook his head slightly, and said firmly, "But it will definitely appear in her hands." ”

He Qi didn't say anything more, his eyes moved to Huanhuan, his eyes showed hesitation and distress, and he asked for a long time, "The prince used her again, will he regret it in the future?" ”

"He Quan, you have too much to say."

When He Quan said this, he was not angry but mighty.

"Subordinates know their mistakes." He Li knelt down on one knee and saluted to admit his mistake, "It's me who has too much to say." ”

"Not necessarily."

Li Zerong waved his hand, and He Qi stood up with interest.

"The man with the knife will come to the slave today. Find some capable spies to stay by the slave's side, and if you find any trace of that person, report it to me immediately. ”

"Yes."

……

As soon as Ling'er saw He Qi walking away, she leaned on Huanhuan's arms on the grounds of fright, pretending to be sobbing in his arms, but in fact, she used this and this environment to tell Huanhuan a terrifying secret.

"Miss, it's a ghost. It's the devil who wants to hurt me! The blood on my body is not my own, it is Mo Niang's! Mo Niang was killed by a ghost, and in the forest of Houhu, she was covered in blood, her stomach was ripped open, and a stone in the shape of a baby was stuffed into the flesh. When I saw her, she still had a breath, and she muttered in her mouth, it was a ghost ......"

Huanhuan's scalp was numb when she heard this, her eyes were sore, and her throat was sore, she looked at Ling'er in disbelief, feeling as if her heart was being torn hard.

Why did Mo Niang die?

"How so? How could it be ......" Huanhuan wanted to push away Ling'er and hugged her hands, this story is too absurd, why did the ghost kill Mo Niang? How can there really be ghosts in this world?

"It's Mo Niang, Mo Niang grabbed me hard, begged me, begged me to take out the stones stuffed in her stomach, I couldn't struggle, so I had to close my eyes and reach out for her to take it out. I took out the bloody rock, and I vaguely saw that it was a baby.

Then I heard a cry, like a child crying out of her mother's womb, which echoed in my ears, followed by the screams and angry scolding of the girl. Miss, Miss, there are ghosts in this house, run away! Run! ”

The more Huanhuan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, "You said, Mo Niang told you that there was a ghost?" ”

When Ling'er heard this, her expression froze.

"But Mo Niang is a mute."

Huanhuan felt a little terrifying, such Ling'er was crazy and weird. Ling'er has been timid and afraid of things since she was a child, and she is most afraid of ghosts, how could she run over when she saw Mo Niang covered in blood? And take out the stones stuffed in her stomach for her? What's even more absurd is that the blood stains on her body, according to her story, she should have her hands covered with blood, but she only had blood stains on her clothes......

There are too many flaws and suspicious places, and she begins to wonder if the Ling'er in front of her is still the Ling'er who has been by her side since she was a child and grew up with her.

She remembered the disguise technique mentioned in the book, could it be......

Before Huanhuan could think about it again, a cold light suddenly flashed in the corner of her eyes, and then she saw Ling'er stabbing her chest with a dagger!

"Ling'er!"

The same scene was staged again in a short period of time, but she never thought that this time she was going to kill her Ling'er, her good Ling'er!

Huanhuan closed her eyes again, she was powerless to escape, and before she could ask why, Ling'er's knife had already stabbed her fiercely.

"Go away, she's been tricked."

Li Zerong pulled her away and threw her behind him, then grabbed Ling'er's wrist with one hand, and with force between his hands, he heard a crisp sound, first the click of broken bones, and then the dagger fell to the ground.

Ling'er was in pain, but she still grabbed her arm and hit Huanhuan, trying her best to hurt Huanhuan in the slightest. Before he got close to Huanhuan for half a minute, he was kicked away by Li Zerong.

Li Zerong looked coldly at Ling'er who had blood on the corner of her mouth on the ground, "Who have you seen?" ”

"Ghosts."

Ling'er's mouth opened for a long time before she spit out the word gloomily, and her eyes were like Fang Cai, like a pool of stagnant water, without life, like a broken and worn marionette.

Huanhuan's hands had grasped Li Zerong's arms tightly for some time, and his whole body should be afraid and close to Li Zerong.

The corners of Li Zerong's mouth hooked, "Slave, don't be afraid." ”

Huanhuan realized when he heard this, and realized that he was holding Li Zerong to death, and the little bird leaned on him like a human, feeling a little embarrassed. Immediately put on the shelf, let go of his hand, and gave an embarrassed "oh" in response.

Li Zerong turned sideways, regardless of Huanhuan's restraint and deliberateness, he reached out domineeringly and pulled Huanhuan's hand, interlocked his fingers with her, and said again, "Slave, don't be afraid." ”

I don't know if it's out of hallucination, Huanhuan felt that when Li Zerong said this, he was very gentle and tender, as if he was her brother Qi Lu again, and what he had in his eyes was not a scheming city, but her......

Huanhuan's face was dyed red at some point, and she struggled a few times, trying to get Li Zerong to let go of her hand, but the more she moved, the harder she held it. She knows Li Zerong's habits, so let him lead her. The warm feeling between her hands, after all, made her inexplicably reassured.

"Li Zerong, what kind of poison is in Ling'er? Has she forgotten me? ”

Huanhuan looked at Ling'er, who was kicked to the ground by Li Zerong and had blood on the corner of her mouth, and she was worried and scared.

"It's Mo Niang," Li Zerong looked at Ling'er, "Mo Niang is weird." ”

Mo Niang? Hearing this, Huanhuan opened his peach blossom eyes and looked at Li Zerong with some surprise.

She remembered that Mo Niang was the person Li Zerong gave her, and according to Li Zerong's temperament, she was extremely cautious in employing people, and there was only He Li who could talk to her heart-to-heart. However, Huanhuan immediately figured out that she was not that important, maybe Li Zerong just pointed someone to her indiscriminately.

"Don't think about it, I can trust Mo Niang." Li Zerong seemed to have seen through her careful thoughts, and explained.

"It's just that today, too many suspicions point to her, she may be the Gu King's person. Those who can use Gu techniques and control the words and deeds of others, only the people of Guyun Peak can do it in the world. ”

"Lone Cloud Peak?"

"I just heard about it in the past, but now it seems that there is indeed such a peak, and the technique of controlling the living under its Gu also really exists."

"Then Ling'er was also hit by Gu?" Huanhuan frowned, thinking that there were still living Gu worms in his body, and he was faintly worried.

Huanhuan felt Li Zerong clench a little tighter, and then heard Li Zerong's voice coming from the top of his head.

"It's different, that kind of Gu worm can't stay in the body for three hours, and then it will die." Li Zerong lowered his eyes and looked at Huanhuan, his eyes showing tenderness, "Don't worry, she'll be fine." ”

Li Zerong should still not deceive himself in this regard, Huanhuan was relieved, and suddenly noticed the dark blood on the corner of Ling'er's mouth, as well as the deformed, stiff and purple right hand, and said angrily: "But you hurt her hard!" She was kicked by you and bled out, Li Zerong, you are so ruthless! ”

"She's to blame, she wants to hurt you."

Huanhuan was once again so shocked that he couldn't think of words to refute it, when Li Zerong said this, as usual, cold and ruthless, but it was obviously different from the past. What is the difference, Huanhuan doesn't dare or want to think about it, he just feels warm in his heart.

Li Zerong: What's wrong?

Huanhuan unconsciously turned his face redder and was a little hot.

He Li picked up Ling'er again and took her back to the house. Maybe the Gu worm had died in her body, and Ling'er closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Huanhuan stayed by Ling'er's bedside, what she didn't expect was that He Quan actually knew medical skills, the method of orthopedics, and rubbed Ling'er's deformed hands back in a few simple strokes, and wrapped her in a white cloth wrapped in medicine around her wrists. After dealing with these, He Qi wanted to leave, but was pulled by Huanhuan with his hand.

Before Huan Huan Cai touched the clothes with force, he was pulled back by He Qi and shook off his hand. He Qi looked a little nervous, and his first words made people feel panicked.

"Miss, what do you command?"

Huanhuan didn't know that He Quan's reaction was because Li Zerong was standing next to him, and he thought that he valued the difference between men and women. said with a straight face: "General He has seen the outside. Ling'er just took a kick from your prince, and you won't treat her again? ”

Huanhuan glanced at Li Zerong, thinking that he should give him a face, after all, he protected her once today, so he shouldn't call him by his name in front of He Quan.

"It's fine, just a mouthful of blood kicked."

Huanhuan glanced at him, no longer embarrassed him, and said to Li Zerong, "Let's call a doctor to come and see Ling'er, okay?" ”

"He Quan said that it is okay, it is okay, you can rest assured. My kick didn't hurt her in the abdomen. ”

Li Zerong returned to his usual appearance, no emotion, no joy or anger. Good-looking eyes always like to hang slightly, and don't like to look at people and things.

Huanhuan understood what he meant, knowing that he didn't want to find someone to heal Ling'er, so he didn't say anything, just glared at Li Zerong with hatred, and then reached out to touch Ling'er's face and ignored them. Thinking of the two moments of life and death that I experienced today, as if I had forgotten that there was still someone standing next to me, I suddenly cried out with grievance.

Seeing this, Li Zerong and He Wei were both shocked, He Wei glanced at Li Zerong and left quietly with interest.

Li Zerong did not step forward immediately, but was stunned there for a long time before he came up with a comforting word, "Tears can't change anything, if you cry, someone will still kill you." ”

"Get out..."

"Slave, I will protect you for the rest of my life." Li Zerong stepped forward, bent down and hugged Ling'er tightly, and took her whole person into his arms, his chin against the top of Huanhuan's head, and promised gently.

Slave, I want to protect you for the rest of my life.
