Lu Qingjin smiled and walked towards the queen's palace: "Are you so sure that I will let you go?" Or are you so sure you can get out of it? ”

Concubine Shu looked at the sunset that was already a faint blush, and her voice was a little fluttering: "You were the only one I was worried about at first, but then when I saw Concubine Li and Concubine Yun, I knew that I wouldn't be good, you are really good and very bad." ”

Lu Qingjin glanced back inexplicably: "I don't understand what you mean, these two words can't describe the same person." ”

Concubine Shu smiled and changed the topic lightly: "I know you want to know about the strange bird, it just so happens that I also know a little bit, this strange bird has something to do with the previous dynasty, do you really want to hear it?" ”

Lu Qingjin always felt that this strange bird was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, so when she heard Concubine Shu say this, she immediately nodded: "Say it!" I know that you shouldn't be able to say anything about Jiu'an and Simin'an, so I won't force it, you just tell me. ”

Concubine Shu smiled meaninglessly, looked at the lights lit near the palace wall, and slowly spoke: "Originally, I didn't tell you that I didn't think there was anything to say, but in fact, it was just a legend that said that the emperor of the previous dynasty was very diligent and loved the people, but he was in poor health and didn't live much, and when he was about to die, a woman woke him up, because this woman loved him very much, so he carried part of the price, but the rest was not something he could afford alone, so a bird appeared in this country, This bird eats people and eats food, and it grows quickly, and when the bird grows up, the country will perish. ”

Lu Qingjin suddenly remembered Heita and Jiu'an, and with melancholy eyes, he involuntarily asked, "Is that woman Jiu'an?" ”

Concubine Shu smiled and didn't speak, the two of them were thinking about their own affairs, and they arrived at the palace in a blink of an eye, Lu Qingjin turned his head and wanted to say something, but he saw Concubine Shu bowing and leaving, Lu Qingjin sighed and couldn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Si came out and asked with some confusion: "What are you doing standing here?" The dinner in the palace has been prepared, and the emperor said that he would not come today. ”

Lu Qingjin nodded and walked into the palace, and a small eunuch not far behind him quietly watched the situation in the queen's palace.

The early morning sun slowly sprinkled down, Lu Qingjin stretched his waist and looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing here in the morning?" ”

Xiao Si put it in his hand and said helplessly: "This morning, I saw someone practicing this five-bird opera, I wanted to learn it, but he disliked me for being too stupid and refused to teach me, didn't I practice it here!" ”

Lu Qingjin sat up and looked at her helplessly and nodded: "Okay, you are not this material, it's almost enough, if you really want to practice this tomorrow, you will beg Concubine Li to send you to the general, how can it be much better than such a strange one." ”

Xiao Si pursed his lips and sighed unwillingly: "If this was put in the original, I couldn't ask for it, but now Lord Yan Sheng is next to the general, I don't dare, yesterday it was spread all over the palace, saying that as long as someone intends to get close to the general, they will die without a place to be buried, just like those who impeached the general in the court." ”

Before Lu Qingjin could say anything, he heard Qin Zhao's laughter at the door: "I only found out about this rumor today, it's quite interesting, it was unlikely that Ji Chen's wood would have found a wife, but now it's even more difficult, I've seen Concubine Li cry to you in a few days." ”

Lu Qingjin stood up and walked over and asked with a smile, "Why did you come here at this time?" Isn't the early dynasty not over yet? ”

Qin Zhao took her hand and walked outside, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "Thinking about what happened yesterday, those people are a little worried, isn't it that the dynasty asked for leave one after another this morning, and less than half of them were left, what else do I have to say, naturally it is to appease and appease them and let them leave, but I heard that the strange birds outside the city are a little excessive, so I won't come to you!" ”

Lu Qingjin wanted to go out early, but because Qin Zhao's order had not been lifted, it was difficult to go out, and now it was in line with her, and the two of them got into the carriage and passed all the way out of the city.

In the General's Mansion, Ji Chen handed over the medicine bowl in his hand and frowned, "What did you do?" Look at what has become of the early dynasty today, if it continues like this, the early dynasty can be saved in the future. ”

Yan Sheng took a sip of the medicine, frowned, eased for a while, and pulled out a faint smile: "You don't have to worry, if the forces in this court want to survive, they have to follow the rules, they are just frightened for a while, just wait a few days, but the emperor wants to investigate the strange birds, you remind him to be careful." ”

Although Ji Chen is a great general, his position is very high, but he usually waits at the border pass, and he has always been unaware of this kind of rumor, so he hurriedly asked: "You mean that this strange bird is also related to those people?" ”

Yan Sheng raised his head and looked at Ji Chen, who was full of curiosity, quite helpless: "Can you not think about tricking me?" When is this coming, if you don't follow the past and be careful that the emperor is eaten, there will be only bones left, even if you know the origin of the strange bird, what is the use? ”

Lu Qingjin shook her head and couldn't speak for a while, but Qin Zhao stood in front of her and sighed: "No wonder no one dared to say where this strange bird came from. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ji Chen brought people over, and before he could salute, he saw the mountains of corpses in front of Qin Zhao, Ji Chen looked over in surprise, and saw that there were corpses of various people or animals in front of him, and the corpses emitted a thick rancid smell, which made people a little dizzy.

Seeing Ji Chen, Lu Qingjin involuntarily walked forward and said something to stop him: "General, don't get too close, this corpse full of decay has formed a poisonous miasma, I'm afraid it won't be able to come out now." ”

Qin Zhao squatted down and slightly turned over the ground under his feet, raised his head and said with a bad face: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, this kind of strange bird can't be poisoned even if it eats rotting corpses every day, this soil is full of mercury, it can be seen that someone did it deliberately, whether it is this strange bird or this place is deliberately encircled, but I don't know what it is for." ”

Lu Qingjin calmed down his mood and said lightly: "Actually, this effect is very easy to guess, the poisonous miasma plus the land that can grow strange plants, these two things are only available in Nanzhang Forest, this person's purpose is probably to turn this place into the next Nanzhang Forest, and these strange birds should be guardians." It's a more complete system, but I don't know exactly what the purpose is. ”
