Chapter 465: Here
"Prison break?" An Xiabai stood up suddenly, her bright eyes full of shock, "The people imprisoned in the dungeon have escaped from prison?" ”
The maid who came to report did not know the identity of the person imprisoned in the dungeon, but only knew that the queen mother valued it very much, and immediately knelt on the ground: "It is the prisoner in the dungeon who is missing, and the guards in charge of guarding it are now looking around, in order to find out as soon as possible." ”
An Xiabai couldn't help but recall the scene when he went to visit Qisai that day, at that time Qisai was still sick, his face was haggard as paper, and now the time is only a few days apart, he can't be cured so quickly, a sick person wants to escape from the palace, it is absolutely impossible, he is definitely still in the palace now.
She frowned half-way: "Pass my order, close the palace gate and not allow anyone to enter or leave, the forbidden army in the capital will increase the search efforts, and no one will be allowed to leave the palace until the person is found." ”
"Slave understands!"
The maid hurriedly left with An Xiabai's token, looking at her back as she drifted away, An Xiabai fell into silence.
"Niangniang," Leng Cui, who had been following An Xiabai's side, couldn't help but speak, "Why don't we hide first?" ”
Others don't know the identity of Qi Sai, they don't know his skills, but Leng Cui does have some understanding, that person can sneak out of the private school unconsciously, which shows that this very scheming, such a dangerous person walking around the palace, no one can say whether he will attack the queen mother, or even the emperor...... The emperor always has guards and protectors around him, and he can't get close easily, but An Xiabai is different.....
Thinking of this, Leng Cui subconsciously glanced around, for fear that someone was hiding nearby.
An Xiabai could naturally see the concerns in her heart, and after a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "Go back to Kunning Palace first." ”
Lu Fang, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative to propose: "Weichen will send the queen back." ”
"You? Don't you know that it is against the law of etiquette for foreign ministers to walk around the harem without permission, if this matter spreads, the reputation of the palace will be small, but if it is a matter of ceremonial officials, and if you participate in the previous dynasty, you will ......"
"Weichen naturally knows that the foreign minister can't move around at will in the harem, but the situation is special now," Lu Fang glanced at An Xiabai and said, "There is no one to protect the queen mother, so Qisai is such a dangerous character, compared to Weichen's career, Weichen still feels that the safety of the queen is more important, the queen mother, you let Weichen send you back, only after seeing you return to the palace with your own eyes, Weichen's heart can be completely put down." ”
Lu Fang said, and waved respectfully towards An Xiabai.
Now that he had already said this, An Xiabai felt that it would be a little boring for him to refuse again, so he nodded and said, "It's okay for you to send me back, but I still need Lord Lu's help?" ”
Without waiting for An Xiabai to say that, Lu Fang had already nodded understandingly: "Wei Chen will definitely be able to calculate the hiding place of that person!" ”
The two left the pavilion together and went to Kunning Palace, and on the way back, An Xiabai specially asked Leng Cui to bring a message to Lu Li.
"Qisai is hidden in the palace, what exactly is hiding in that corner, we don't know how many helpers there are, so we can only rely on speculation, although there are people in the palace to protect, it is inevitable that there will be no business trips, if something happens to me, let Your Majesty must avenge me."
When he said this, Leng Cui's face turned white: "Mother! ”
How can such an unlucky word be said casually! “
An Xiabai on the other side smiled disappreciatively: "Just these few words, you can take them to Your Majesty." ”
"But-" Leng Cui originally wanted to say something, but before she could speak, An Xiabai turned around and followed Lu Fang slowly in the direction of Kunning Palace, and when she left, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will protect myself." ”
The Imperial Garden was not far from the palace where An Xia Bai lived, and Lu Fang and An Xia Bai returned here in a matter of seconds.
At this time, the palace people of Kunning Palace were all pale, as if they had seen something terrible.
An Xiabai's heart moved, and he pulled over a familiar internal official to ask about the situation: "Why is the atmosphere in Kunning Palace so solemn, is there a problem in Kunning Palace during the time when the palace left?" ”
The internal official looked at it fixedly, and saw that the person standing in front of him for questioning turned out to be An Xiabai, and he almost fainted in fright: "Queen Mother, our palace is haunted!" ”
Haunted?
The palace is a place of protection from heaven, how can there be such a difficult thing as demons and monsters?
An Xiabai didn't believe in this evil, and asked again with a cold face: "What happened to Kunning Palace?" ”
At this moment, the other internal officials also noticed An Xiabai's arrival, and they knelt down at her feet, and it didn't take long for a relatively high-status internal manager to stand up.
"Queen Mother, here's the thing, after you and Aunt Leng Cui left Kunning Palace, when they were fighting and trying to do things, Kunning Palace didn't know where a black shadow popped out of nowhere, the shadow moved extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely, no matter how the slaves and maids searched, they just didn't find it. After the slaves and maids repeated it several times, the people in the palace said that the black shadow was nothing else, but ...... It is the ghosts of the concubines who were killed by King Li in the previous dynasty, they died miserably, so that they could not be reborn...... Queen Mother, why don't we invite a Taoist priest to come over. ”
Maybe invite a Taoist priest to come over and be a mage, and the demons in this palace will stop a little.
What the internal official never expected was that not only was his suggestion not accepted by An Xiabai, but even the other party frowned and glared at him, and said very unhappily: "What kind of proposal are you, the palace is a place protected by the gods and Buddhas of the world, how can there be demons and monsters in this kind of place?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there are demons and monsters in the palace, why do you need to go outside the palace to find a Taoist priest, isn't there one in front of you? ”
The internal official's eyes widened, and in the next second, he saw An Xiabai's gaze turn to Lu Fang's body.
The latter pressed the corner of his forehead that was faintly aching and said, "Who is doing it in Kunning Palace is not a demon, but someone who sneaked in. ”
Someone who snuck in?
The internal official shuddered violently: "But we have been in the palace all the time, how could someone sneak into Kunning Palace?" ”
"People have their own skills." Lu Fang said that, he didn't look at the internal officials more, but took An Xiabai into the Kunning Palace, and then they came to the so-called haunted palace under the guidance of the palace people.
An Xiabai stopped, deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Lord Lu, what kind of demons and monsters are doing in this Kunning Palace, Lord Lu, are you ten percent sure that you will completely catch him?" ”
Lu Fang nodded very cooperatively: "Naturally, there is." ”
"Then what are you going to do, Lord Lu?"
"Naturally, I am trying to do a ritual in Kunning Palace, the monsters in this palace are too resentful, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to subdue it."
Just as Lu Fang was talking to An Xiabai, a place not far from them suddenly moved.
An Xiabai turned her eyes to look at Lu Fang, and it happened that the latter was also looking at her, both of them are smart people, sometimes they don't use words to communicate, they only need a look to understand each other's thoughts. An Xiabai coughed lightly, deliberately pretending to be looking for something and slowly walked there, and at the same time, she pulled a hairpin from her hair.
It will take a while for the guards of Kunning Palace to rush over, during this period, she must protect herself, while being nervous, An Xiabai can't help but feel lucky, fortunately, when she was in Nanhuai City, she learned a few moves from Nan Hui, and she is very skilled in using those moves, otherwise if she encounters this kind of thing today, she may have to suffer, after all, Na Qisai is not a person who is easy to fool.......
Qi Sai, who was hidden behind the curtain, didn't realize that An Xiabai's approach was because he lured himself out, he was too difficult, he hid in Kunning Palace for so long just for this opportunity, and in his eyes, An Xiabai was a powerless woman, what could a person like her do even if he was in danger? I'm afraid that when she rushes out, she will only be stunned and scream in fright.
In a trance, Qi Sai had already thought of the fact that he had caught An Xiabai and threatened Lu Li to send him back to Liang Kingdom.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he rushed out of the corner.
Now is the time!
An Xiabai's body dodged slightly, and he easily dodged the attack of Qisai, who had not recovered from his old injury.
Besides, although the first sneak attack failed, he was not discouraged, perhaps because his subconscious told him that An Xiabai was a weak woman who was powerless, he became more and more courageous, and immediately turned around and pounced on An Xiabai again.
At this moment, the palace people who were frightened by the sudden appearance of Qi Sai also realized what was happening, and immediately shouted, and the more daring ones rushed up directly to stop Qi Sai.
Qi Sai gritted his teeth, although he was seriously injured and had not recovered, after all, he was a person who had practiced martial arts for many years, where could these people who lived in the deep palace beat him? It was just a wave of his hand, and almost all of the palace people who wanted to rush up to save An Xia Bai were knocked down by him, and then he threw himself at An Xia Bai again.
An Xiabai gritted her teeth, knowing that it was useless to fight hard, she directly took out the hairpin she used to defend herself.
While dodging the offensive of Qi Sai, she gritted her teeth and said to Lu Fang, "What are you still doing in a daze?" ”
Lu Fang suddenly came back to his senses: "I'm sorry, I've never seen such a frequent scene, and I was a little stunned for a while....... I'll be more careful in the future. ”
Before the words fell, Lu Fang had already picked up a teapot from the side and smashed it on Qi Sai's body, Qi Sai couldn't dodge, and was directly burned half of his body by the hot tea, and at the same time, Lu Fang also pounced, his hand tightly choked Qi Sai's neck, and the other palace people also gathered around, scattered one by one to hold down Qi Sai.
Qi Sai hissed like a trapped beast in a trap, but soon his figure descended.
Seeing that the situation was not good, An Xiabai hurriedly patted Lu Fang's hand, who was overexerting: "Let go, don't strangle people!" ”
