"It's cold in winter now, and this is the Shenchu Palace, why are there so many snakes all of a sudden? Snake ...... It should be hibernating! ”

"Naturally, they are awakened by people-" Ye Luoqing hadn't opened his mouth yet, Chu Lingxiang directly answered Luo Liyao's question, she teased the little snake wrapped around her wrist and kept rubbing her gold, her expression suddenly became a little solemn, "No, there are many snakes here, isn't it ...... on top of the wedding banquet!" ”

Luo Liyao's heart was not good, but Ye Luoqing's reaction was also extremely fast, and she hurriedly pulled Luo Liyao and pulled her to the banquet: "Your Highness, go quickly!" ”

"Huh...... But Princess Xiang, she—"

Luo Liyao was pulled by her to the banquet and walked quickly, turned her head to look at Chu Lingxiang, and called her to go with her, but Chu Lingxiang seemed to be thinking about something very important with his head down, and he didn't seem to be aware of their hurried action to the banquet.

"Hunan ......"

"Your Highness."

Luo Liyao's wrist that was held by Ye Luoqing suddenly came with some strength, as if it was stopping her next move-Luo Liyao paused, finally understood, and hurriedly stopped, but couldn't help but look at Chu Lingxiang with a thoughtful face.

Ye Luoqing didn't say anything more, didn't look back, and pulled Luo Liyao's wrist and escorted her to the banquet.

She was just reminding Luo Liyao that this snake came strangely, and Chu Lingxiang, the princess, had the ability to tame snakes, but it was even more strange.

Even if the Shenchu Kingdom is located in the south, winter November is still the time when the cold wind rises, and it is also the time when the snakes should hibernate.

At this time, someone woke up the snakes.

Chu Lingxiang was not afraid of these rare poisonous snakes at all, and had the ability to tame them, so it was inevitable that he would have the biggest suspicion - even if it was she who saved Luo Liyao's life from the mouth of the golden snake just now.

Can't easily trust these people, this is Shen Chu, not her Tianqi.

They are just a group of outsiders, and their understanding of the situation in Shenchu is limited to Chu Lingze's introduction and the intelligence of Mochiyue Tower, and they don't know too many twists and turns: for example, Chu Lingxiang's inexplicable ability to tame snakes.

Until they know the truth, no one is without suspicion. This is also Ye Luoqing rushing to the banquet to check the situation, but she also has to pull Luo Liyao - her intuition tells her that she can't leave Luo Liyao by Chu Lingxiang's side.

Chu Lingxiang can tame snakes, but she can't discern her relationship with these snakes who suddenly woke up, wouldn't it be a big mistake to leave Luo Liyao, who has no force, by her side? 【… Magic Pen House ...@更好更新更快】

Ye Luoqing pulled Luo Liyao and walked away quickly, leaving Chu Lingxiang, who was still standing in place and staring at the gold-ringed snake on his wrist.

The color of the krait snake is alternating between gold and black, and it looks like it has many golden rings, so it gets its name, so when it is wrapped around Chu Lingxiang's hand, if you don't look carefully, you will think that she is wearing a special bracelet.

Chu Lingxiang didn't speak again, nor did she care about Ye Luoqing and Luo Liyao, who left in a hurry, and she didn't rush to the banquet to check the situation—she just stood there like that, surrounded by snakes that kept swimming out of the grass around her.

She looked at the brightly colored skins of the snakes, their faces hidden in the darkness by the shadows of the branches of the trees, which were even more obscure.

"It's you...... You're back......"

She said this softly, as if she was talking to someone, but it was more like she was talking to herself, with countless nostalgia and emotion in her tone.

The closer we got to the main hall where the wedding feast was held, the sound of the crowd of people became clearer and clearer.

Ye Luoqing and Luo Liyao glanced at each other, and then they couldn't care about any manners, and went straight to the inside of the main hall - it's just that the situation inside is not optimistic, is it absolutely safe outside?

Apparently not.

Ye Luoqing abruptly retracted the leg he was about to step out, and stretched out his hand to block Luo Liyao behind him: "Your Highness, be careful, this is outside...... It's already surrounded by snakes. ”

"A lot of snake ......"

Luo Liyao didn't hide behind her one by one, but turned around and back-to-back with her, and looked around not far from the feet of the two of them - sure enough, it was exactly the same scene as the one just now, countless poisonous snakes spit letters, surrounded them, and slowly gathered towards them.

"If it's just the seniors, can you get rid of these snakes completely?" Luo Liyao pinched the palm of her hand fiercely, letting the pain force her to wake up, temporarily suppressing many fears in her heart, "I'm here today, it must be a burden to my predecessors, it's better to ......"

"Your Highness, why would you say such a disheartening thing?" Ye Luoqing was back to back with her, clearly feeling that she was trembling with fear, and hurriedly took her hand again, holding it tightly to give her warmth and support, "Don't give up on yourself so quickly, there are still people in the distance waiting for you to return safely......"

There are still people in the distance waiting for you to return safely.

Luo Liyao paused, and there was still a group of poisonous snakes in front of her that were so colorful that they were almost dazzled, but in her mind, she no longer had the unbearable appearance of being bitten by poisonous snakes, but the man who liked to smile and stare at her, the man who would stand in front of her in front of her in spite of himself at a critical moment and forget that he was also flesh and blood, the person who obviously had a thunderous wrist but still left all the tenderness to her - the one who was still waiting for her to go back in Tianqi.

"He also

Waiting for me to go back...... Luo Liyao took a deep breath and muttered, "Senior, what should we do to get out?" ”

"I didn't have any snake repellent with me, so it's definitely impossible for us to get out unharmed." Ye Luoqing naturally knew that she was smart, and naturally she would not deliberately say some lies to comfort her, but only said truthfully, "There are so many snakes, there has been such a big movement, and the cave room guarded by Tianji must have been surrounded by snakes - now, we are first counting on Tang Gongzi, who is out, to come back in time, and then ......"

"We don't know who woke these vipers or why they came here - now that we're in the dark, we can't stay with them all the time." Luo Liyao didn't finish listening to her words, but as if she knew what she was going to say next, she interrupted her directly, "Senior go first, I'll ......"

"These snakes have no wisdom, let alone words, and the wisdom of Your Highness is the most useless in the face of these beasts." Ye Luoqing also refused to back down at all, and only said, "Anyway, I have traveled the world for so many years, and I can be regarded as having some ability to save my life, at least ...... than His Highness."

"Okay, okay, don't fight!"

Before Ye Luoqing's words fell, he was interrupted again, and a small package was thrown out from the side, and it just landed in front of Luo Liyao - the package was not tightly wrapped at all, and as soon as it landed, it spilled some yellow powder inside.

And for some reason, the snakes that were still showing their teeth and claws, as soon as they approached the yellow powder, they were like people who had been burned by the flames, and subconsciously retreated suddenly.

For a while, with the scattered package as the center, the surrounding snakes swam away quickly, as if they were avoiding something terrible, and a piece of space was instantly vacated around the package that landed, just enough for Tang Haoqi to settle down.

"Okay, okay, don't fight, aren't they just little snakes."

Tang Haoqi bent down, picked up the missing package, and by the way, picked up some of the yellow powder that had been spilled just now and sprinkled it farther away.

Sure enough, everywhere the yellow powder went, the snakes avoided it, and even some snakes were contaminated with the yellow powder and collapsed to the ground in an instant, as if they had lost their life in an instant.

Luo Liyao was suddenly a little surprised, watching Tang Haoqi sprinkle the yellow powder in the package, opening up a way for them to enter the hall.

"What kind of medicine is this?"

"Realgar!" Tang Haoqi replied while sprinkling, and led them to the palace, "Snake nemesis, a must-have for home travel......

Luo Liyao followed behind him, looked around at the retreating snakes, and said suspiciously: "Although I don't understand pharmacology, I have never heard of such things as realgar......

"Your Highness

It can also be understood as yellow food stone (1), and these are the powders of yellow food stone. Ye Luoqing picked up a little powder on the ground and smiled lightly, "Tang Gongzi knows, we are here...... There is no such thing as 'realgar'. ”

Luo Liyao suddenly realized.

"Yellow Eating Stone, okay, Yellow Eating Stone!" Tang Haoqi reacted instantly, and changed his words, "Remember, remember, remember—I mean the pharmacy owner has never heard of it, it's obviously such a common thing......"

Ye Luoqing stepped on the stairs, and when he heard his words, he fell silent in an instant.

Luo Liyao held her forehead and said speechlessly: "Yellow food stone is scarce and expensive, and ordinary pharmacies don't have it—how did you get so much yellow food stone powder?" ”

"emmmm......" Tang Haoqi also paused, seemed to be thinking carefully, and finally chose to tell the truth, "I went to Mochiyue Tower to find Qianzhi's shopkeeper, and told her about this effect, and she found me so much - it turns out that it is actually a very scarce thing here?" No wonder she only gave me that, and reminded me to pay the bill earlier......"

Luo Liyao: "......"

Ye Luoqing: "......"

Luo Liyao was helpless: "For the sake of this good effect, I will help you pay it back this time." ”

Ye Luoqing and Luo Liyao followed him a few steps into the hall, and everywhere they went, the snakes avoided the yellow stone powder spilled by Tang Haoqi, and the three of them entered the hall unimpeded.

"Quick! Protect Your Majesty! ”

"Ahh Snake! ”

"Be careful, everybody - these snakes are poisonous!"

"Where's the Imperial Doctor?! Doctor! Lord Yan was bitten by that snake! ”

"Protect Your Majesty - protect Your Majesty—"

The seats of the Yong family brothers and sisters are some distance away from the emperor and queen, Yongjun lifted the candlestick shelf on the side, and faced the snakes like wielding a long sword, but the snakes didn't seem to be very afraid of fire, and after only avoiding it slightly, they spit snake letters and opened their fangs at him even more openly.

Eternal Night, on the other hand, was already discolored, too cowardly to speak, and seemed so frightened that he didn't even know how to speak.

The emperor and queen above the high hall were also frightened, and Cao Han subconsciously pounced on Chu Zhaoxi, tightly blocking him in front of him, forcibly separating him from the snakes.

Luo Liyao took a handful of yellow food stone powder that Tang Haoqi grabbed for her, and sighed: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"It's easy to say, after all, give money." Tang Haoqi laughed, took out another package from his arms, divided half of the yellow edible stone powder for Ye Luoqing, and began to sprinkle medicine all over the hall all over the sky.

The scene was very strange for a while, but the snake tide did temporarily recede because of this, and no one would question it.

Tang Haoqi and Ye Luoqing sprinkled the entire place

The main hall is full of fragrant wind, and the hall is full of some pungent yellow food stone powder.

"Whew-please cover your mouth and nose, this powder is also a bit poisonous......"

Tang Haoqi's loud reminder had not yet been finished, and he was suppressed by a wisp of Qingyue's flute.

The aftermath was lingering and lingering, but the more I listened to it, the more irritating it became, and even the snakes that had receded in the hall began to stir again!
