"It's nearby, Brother Zhongxuan." Qiao An put the golden bell in her sleeve, she and Li Zhongxuan continued to walk forward, and after walking for a while, they heard the sound of chanting a mantra not far away, which was the most mysterious symbol of Tantra, and when it was pronounced, it made people's scalps tingle and terrified.

It was a weeping tone, low and frustrated, and terrified to the point of incredible, and Joanne looked out, and found a white stone not far away, on which Queen Idopman lay upright, and it was an altar.

There were some strange things such as daggers, chicken heads, charms and other strange things displayed on the altar, and Shen Qiaoan looked at it with an inexplicable fear, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

"One sacrifice to the earth and two high heavens, the ancestor is in the middle, today is seven seven forty-nine ......" The previous incantation was a lengthy text, which had been switched to Chinese at this moment, Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan gradually approached, and the group of girls knelt around the altar, and groups of snakes, insects, rats and ants around them had already moved their nests.

It was as if the animals had been summoned, and they approached.

Li Zhongxuan had already pulled out the crescent sword, and at this moment, the women were singing and dancing.

And the queen lying on the altar was stiff and numb, she didn't know what the other party had eaten for herself, it was only a poison, but Shen Qiaoan knew that it was an anesthetic.

The girls circled around the queen, and then they were all in place, they were ready to nibble on her, but at this moment, Shen Qiaoan laughed: "It's ridiculous." ”

The girls turned around and found that Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan had approached, and the two couldn't help but fight with them, Qiao An had discussed with Li Zhongxuan before, Li Zhongxuan beat people, and she saved people.

The group of women was very angry, and soon got entangled with Li Zhongxuan, Qiao An picked up the queen, left Li Zhongxuan and left, outside the jungle in the distance, General Han also arrived, everyone sent the queen into the carriage, Qiao An said: "You go to help, let the archers shoot arrows, the arrows are on fire, go quickly." ”

The girls' clothes were made of ramie and crepe, and they burned when they saw the fire, as the saying goes, "fire and water are ruthless", Joan had reasoned the safest and easiest way to win, and the crossbowmen quickly surrounded the girls, and at this moment Li Zhongxuan had found the right opportunity and jumped into their ranks.

"Why don't you get caught?" Li Zhongxuan asked sharply.

Yue Bingyan sneered, picked the leaves of the year, and blew them up close to his mouth, Li Zhongxuan saw this, and knew that as soon as the music sounded, the poisonous snake would arrive, and hurriedly ordered people to be slaughtered, everyone's crossbow arrows had flown out, and the group of women protected their dragon head boss inside, and Yue Bingyan sat on the ground, slowly blowing a strange tone.

Qiao An and they had just walked out a short distance when they heard the strange music, which was very familiar to Shen Qiao An, "Oops, the poisonous snake is coming, let's return!" ”

When I returned to General Han's vicinity, I found that General Han's archers were already shooting those people, but these girls were strong in martial arts and could not be dealt with crossbow arrows.

Joan saw the girls whirling and knocked down the crossbow arrows with her sleeves, and the flaming bolts hit many of the soldiers, but fortunately they were covered in armor, so they avoided harm.

"Han Qi, why don't you make trouble soon?"

But Han Qi didn't know how to deal with these girls at the moment, Qiao An approached the queen and took a golden hairpin from her head, "Borrow it." Qiao An held the golden hairpin and slashed it on Han Qi's armor, and suddenly there was a harsh sound that only existed after the metal collided, and at this moment, everyone also understood, some people slapped their scabbards on their armor, some people sang, and some people chatted.

Soon the sound of blowing bamboo had been annihilated in the boiling sky, Qiao An laughed and pointed to the group of stunned women, "Are you still playing?" Your summoning skills won't work this time, hahaha. ”

Yue Bingyan got up, threw away the leaves, several girls formed a phalanx, they used their strength to push her over, the ribbon quack in Yue Bingyan's hand waved, Qiao An saw a dense black thing in front of him, and immediately signaled everyone to dodge.

How did she know that Yue Bingyan and they were cultivating the skills of Tantra, and everyone would have poisonous insects on their bodies to a greater or lesser extent, just like Qiao An, at this critical juncture, Qiao An and they were only a stone's throw away from Yue Bingyan, but they invisibly gave them the opportunity to sneak attack.

Seeing that a dense black dot had flown over, Han Qi said, "What is the secret weapon", and he was already holding the shield in front of Qiao An, but as soon as the black fell on everyone, it was actually a rare insect similar to a bee.

"Oops, vampire!" Joan knew what it was at a glance.

It turns out that in the swamp there will be a kind of thing called vampire leech, this insect to accidentally fall in the swamp animal carcasses as food, over time formed a blood-sucking ability, vampire leeches are also called "water bench", once such insects bite on the human skin, otherwise it will be poisoned, and it will form a hard lump, and then the position will be inflamed, the consequences are self-evident.

Although the vampire leeches had been blocked by the shield a lot, there was still one that was still lying on Qiao An's cheek, and Shen Qiao An hurriedly slapped it, it was too late.

And everyone, including Li Zhongxuan and the queen, were more or less bitten, Qiao An was afraid that everyone would act inappropriately, and immediately said: "Don't chase it, deal with the wound quickly." ”

She immediately took out the medicine, but the amount was not much, and everyone hurriedly approached, and some people were still full of care, and caught the vampire leech to study, "It turned out to be a leech, but it's so strange, why do leeches have wings?" ”

Joan asked everyone to check that they couldn't carry any of them, and that once they brought it back, it would multiply incredibly fast. At this moment, everyone carefully checked and made sure that there were no fish that slipped through the net before going back.

How did everyone know that this vampire leech was powerful? One by one, they also joked at Joan for making a big fuss, but when he went back, he found that a cyst gradually formed at the location of the bite, and soon the location festered, and then he knew that it was terrible.

Fortunately, Shen Qiaoan had already made the ointment, and the queen read that everyone had a meritorious role in escorting her, and sent a box to everyone, and everyone didn't need to mention it.

Now that Joan and the queen are wounded on their faces, Joan's wound is on the left cheek, and the queen is on the right cheek, but it is very symmetrical, and the bridge comforts the queen with ointment, but the queen seems to be full of care about the wound.

"Recently, thank you for being inside, you and Li Gongzi are so tired, running around for this matter every day."

"Tired? It's okay. Joan smiled and put away the enamel box, "Why hasn't the queen been beautifying lately, and today she is out of shape." ”

"Miss Shen, you have taught me a lot of things, the so-called "good at the top, very good at the bottom", if I always pursue a rejuvenating face like this, the people below will also pursue it! Look at the Moon Black Building, they actually use human blood to nourish themselves! It really makes sense, I want to set an example and let everyone understand that the most beautiful woman is not in the skin, but in the heart. ”

Hearing the queen say this, Shen Qiaoan smiled.

The queen said: "True self-confidence is exuded from the bones, just like you Shen Qiao'an, the years have never defeated the beauty." Joan was truly overjoyed when she heard this.

"Queen, you can understand this truth, but it is really no better, people must follow the laws of nature to grow old slowly, as for the scars on the face, it is best to heal them, can this or not, what is there?" Joan touched her left cheek, and the queen suddenly came to her senses, "In the future, I will use all my money and wealth on the people, the so-called from the people for the people, and I will no longer use the people's fat and people's ointment to satisfy my own selfish desires." ”

"It's good, it's good."

December 31 passed so turbulently, to the second day, it was a new day, and there was more than a month before the New Year, Fengming City was colder than Jiangcheng, Qiao An was nostalgic at the moment Zhongjing, Zhongjing is the first good district, when the axis is in the middle of the place, warm as spring all year round, and there is no cold that thousands of miles of ice and snow drift.

The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and the northwest wind is like a dagger that can cut people's faces, and it looks like the New Year is coming, and those who are bold and have no girls at home have been doing business one after another, and the queen's meaning makes everyone still shut up, but Joan has laughed.

"Queen, now that we don't move, they don't move, they are waiting for us, why don't we just lure the snake out of the hole?" Shen Qiaoan smiled, she took out a topographic map, and said by comparison: "The imperial capital can be divided into four equal parts, I am in charge of one section, Brother Zhongxuan is in charge of one area, and the other two symmetrical positions, one to Han Qi and one to Ruthless, as for the rest of the people in the rivers and lakes, it is not a day that they are thinking about your five hundred taels of gold, and everyone will track it down." ”

"I have discussed with you, we have made colorful flags and chirping, once there is a hot hair, we will immediately contact each other and take care of each other, as for the palace, we will also send someone to take care of it, so the queen can rest assured." When the queen heard this, she sighed with emotion.

"Miss Shen is really powerful, but in this way, you will gather less and leave more, I am willing to give up the Qiankun Hall for you to work and sleep, what do you think?"

"That's a suspicion of overstepping, how bad." In fact, after experiencing the previous events, the queen was already a little afraid of those elusive women in white, so she actually hoped that Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan could protect herself closely, and with them, she could sit back and relax.

Shen Qiaoan smiled, she was a smart person in Bingxue, and she understood what the queen meant, "In this case, you can just write the paper." ”

From this day on, Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan entered the Qiankun Palace, and those people in the rivers and lakes could come over to report if they had clues, and the news was very prosperous for a while, but whenever they acted, those people disappeared.

Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan patrolled outside every day, and the two of them almost walked all over the streets and alleys of Fengming City, and after going out, they changed into ordinary people's clothes, and they would not be noticed by others when they were idle.

But the women in white were gone.

Seeing that it was the twenty-fifth, the New Year was coming, the imperial capital was full of lights, Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan went out to play, the two bought masks, Qiao An wore one, Li Zhongxuan also wore one, the two played hand in hand, many people on the long street also wore masks, in Fengming City, the twenty-fifth of each year is to exorcise evil spirits.

Everyone wears the masks of the puppet and the ghost, singing and dancing, some people in the distance are still performing drumming and passing flowers, spitting flames and other tricks, Shen Qiaoan can't stop watching, the court made a float, last year the world was peaceful, the queen sat in the float to accept the worship of Lao Baixiang, but this year the queen has disappeared in the float.

Lord Liu and the rest of the adults were on the float, and one of them said: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, it is said that in winter, the wheat covers the three-layer quilt, and the next year sleeps with steamed buns!" This year's goose feather snow has been one by one, next year there will be a bumper harvest, the court will be exempted from half of the tax, the queen has made a holy decree, and everyone is happy. ”

"The imperial court also encourages the birth of children, the opening of the department, as for those cases in the criminal department, the imperial court has to re-determine, if you have any misunderstandings and wrongs, you can go to the imperial court to beat the drum and voice the grievances, of course, you can also report and expose the imperial court officials."
