"My lord."

A dark shadow passed in front of him. Xia Xin knelt on one knee with the hilt of his sword in his left hand and looked at Bai Chengjin.

Bai Chengjin tapped his toes, and the whole person rose into the air, and the cloud sleeves floated out a perfect arc in the air. After standing firmly, he flicked his cuffs, "How is it checking?" ”

Xia Xin's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said in a deep voice, "Back to the lord, Huo Zun will go to Yincheng Qingmos County after getting the order. It is true that a teacher surnamed Liu has been found, but...", his tone paused, and he lowered his head, "There is not much news. ”

"Oh?" Bai Chengjin was slightly surprised.

Huo Zun is the "eagle eye" in the blood ghost ride, with a delicate mind and insight. All the things he handled, he rarely investigated them carefully and thoroughly. This is also the reason why Bai Chengjin sent him to investigate in detail.

"After investigation, this person was once the former champion of the imperial examination. Nineteen years ago, when he was proud of his career, he suddenly resigned and returned to his hometown, and since then he has been hiding in the market away from the imperial court. ”

Bai Chengjin's smooth fingertips are like fiddling with his fingers, and his deep pupils are like a 10,000-year-old ice lake, deep and mysterious.

"Lord, an old letter is actually involved in the body of the former champion, it seems that this matter is not simple," Xia Xin clenched his fists, and his eyebrows were slightly raised with a bit of heroism.

"Why would the person behind this be willing to risk his identity being exposed, but also snatch the letterhead from the master?"

"Could it be... What are you afraid of? ”

Bai Chengjin's hand stopped, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and a round of dark light floated under his eyes.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone to secretly protect this person." ”

"Bring the letterhead."

Xia Xin immediately took out the letterhead from his cuffs and gave it to Bai Chengjin with both hands.

Bai Chengjin's slender jade-like hand unfolded the paper. On the yellowed paper is a striking line: crape myrtle shifts, flowers fall and bloom again. Juanxiu tulle three feet, moss under the curtain willow.

There's nothing wrong with it literally.

It's just that it is sloppy, and the strength is different, but there is no lack of clear handwriting. It seems to have been written in a state of extreme inner struggle and panic.

His thick eyelashes drooped, and his eyes skimmed the paper sharply.

After a while, he didn't speak, but folded the letterhead into his cuffs, "Tell me to go down, tomorrow the Japanese Palace will go to Jibei Mountain." ”

"In addition, tell the young palace master of the Demon Palace, Gu Ling, that he doesn't care about the grievances with the high priest of the Western Regions. As long as the day after tomorrow at the Flower God Festival, he can get what he wants in the main palace. The palace will help him save the person he wants from the Northern Turks. ”

"Also," Bai Chengjin raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Xin with the corner of his cold eyes, "Let him be sure to hand over the Gu mother of the corpse worm Gu, otherwise even if he gets the green eyes on the scepter of the High Priest of the Western Regions, this palace can't guarantee that it will not leave him with affection!" ”

"Subordinate Order!" Xia Xin said.

"The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Day, and it is the Flower God Festival. If the palace can't come back, let Qiu Mao give the morning gift to the queen mother. Just said that the palace went to see off Aunt Bai Li, and then entered the palace to accompany her for lunch before noon. ”

"Yes."

"Lord, this Demon Palace Young Palace Master Gu Ling is rampant and leaves no room for it. If you don't wake up a few minutes, you may be self-defeating and miss the big event of the day after tomorrow. ”

"He won't." Bai Chengjin said casually.

Xia Xin's eyes flashed, "The lord is talking about Lan Ce, the third prince of the Western Regions?"

Bai Chengjin gently hooked the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling. The evil charm is so evil that people are sinking, "Yes, the third prince of the Western Regions, Lan Ce, was sent to the Northern Turk by the High Priest of the Western Regions to become a proton, which made Gu Ling hate and poison the High Priest of the Western Regions."

"In addition, for many years, the Western Regions and the Demon Palace have been at odds with each other, and the two forces have already formed a strong trend."

"The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and the young palace master of the Demon Palace, Gu Ling, is not a brainless person. This time it must be a heart-to-heart game. ”

Xia Xin nodded, and said, "In this way, the fact that the lord was willing to form an alliance with the Demon Palace and send someone to assassinate the high priest of the Western Regions was to intensify the contradiction between the Demon Palace and the Western Regions. ”

"Over the years, the power of the High Priest of the Western Regions has been in full swing. With the estrangement between the Demon Palace and the Western Regions, the lord can better control the Demon Palace, so as to use his strength to balance the power of the High Priest of the Western Regions, and break Rong Guifei's powerful arm by the way. ”

"Kill two birds with one stone!"

Xia Xin looked at Bai Chengjin with scorching eyes. There is undisguised admiration and worship in his expressions.

"Well, I've been getting some progress lately." Bai Chengjin said slowly.

Bai Chengjin rarely praised Xia Xin. I inadvertently praised it today, which made Xia Xin scratch his head a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he said, "However, Concubine Rong has been really quiet recently, should your subordinates send someone to keep an eye on it?"

Bai Chengjin turned his wrench, "No need, Bengong wants to see what tricks she can play." ”

Without the ally of the High Priest of the Western Regions, he broke Yin Zhong's powerful arm, and Rong Guifei's vitality was greatly damaged.

She couldn't slow down for a while.

At this time, it was about dusk, and the afterglow gradually sank.

The rainbow glowed, reflecting on his smooth and fair face, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes burst out with a sword-like sharpness.

Xia Xin withdrew his fists, held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and said, "The two sons of Concubine Rong, although the king of Yu is quite capable, he attaches great importance to the love of children. A King Nan is arrogant and embarrassed. It's enough for her to have a headache. ”

Bai Chengjin hooked his lips and smiled, noncommittal.

"By the way, my lord, there is one more thing."

"Speak."

"In the past few days, the woman's physical condition in the secret room seems to have relapsed, it seems that tonight..."Xia Xin glanced at Bai Chengjin and stopped talking.

Hearing this, Bai Chengjin's midnight-like dark pupils flashed without a trace. The faint tone seemed to stretch a long helplessness, "This palace knows."

*

At night, the moonlight dissolves and the lights are gone.

In the west wing, the ink chrysanthemum on the desk swayed in the wind, exuding bursts of quiet fragrance, quietly diffuse, floating into the tip of the nose of the sleeping woman on the bed.

Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes, her dark pupils were hollow, and the whole person seemed to be controlled by some kind of force, and sat up like a marionette. Sluggishly, he lifted the futon covering his body.

Then he walked out of the West Wing with stiff steps.

She walked thinly dressed through the winding corridor and into a study with an open door.

Stepping into the room, the Bogu frame moved, revealing a dark stone gray door.

As soon as Miao Su walked in, a bone-chilling cold air hit his face. On weekdays, she is most afraid of the cold, but at this time, she seems to be unconscious, and she walks in like a walking corpse.

It's getting colder, it's getting colder...

The tip of her cold nose exhaled a white chill, slowly dissipating into the air.

This is a secret room, the walls around the whole secret room are all carved of colored stone bricks, about eight zhang long, more than six zhang wide.

The huge room was empty, except for an ice coffin in the center, and in the ditch at the bottom of the ice coffin flowed a cool spring like an ice pool, the spring water was delicate and milky like a cloud, and the surface was like a light veil of rain barrier.

Several rare snowy ice lotus flowers bloom in the steaming mist, and their demeanor is proud.

There was still an oil lamp on the jade table in the south corner, and the bean-sized flames jumped from time to time, emitting a faint light.
