Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Gatekeeper
Ye Luxian leaned against the cold palace wall, stroked his chest with one hand, his face was even paler than before, a pair of sword eyebrows were frowning, condensing a trace of pain, and the corners of his lips were still faintly curled.
Xiao Xuan squatted down, holding Yeluxian's hands, with a worried and distressed look on his face, and said softly, "You wait, I'll go find someone." ”
Yeluxian, who closed his eyes tightly, nodded lightly, and put his other finger on his waist.
Xiao Xuan looked at his waist in the direction he was pointing, and there was a clear jade pendant hanging from the side of the inky black jade-inlaid belt. She untied the jade pendant and held it in her hand.
Xiao Xuan got up, walked towards the guards at the palace gate, and walked two or three steps back to his head.
Ye Luxian seemed to know that she was worried about herself, and whenever she turned around, her bleak face showed a warm smile on a spring day, which made Xiao Xuan walk away with peace of mind.
As soon as Xiao Xuan turned around and walked forward, the smile on Ye Luxian's face instantly shattered, and the pain was so great that he had to secretly stroke his chest, gasping for breath, and the beads of sweat on his forehead dripped onto his mud-stained and tattered white robe.
"This little brother, please help me find someone, he is the palace attendant Qiliang... You..."Xiao Xuan grabbed a guard and said hurriedly.
"Go away! How could the people in the palace see you casually! Go far! The two guards guarding the door glanced at her with contempt, and one of them shouted viciously.
This day was tired and hungry, almost trapped on the grassland, finally arrived here, and encountered this group of dogs fighting people, the anger in her heart rose outward, and raised her chin, "Do you know who I am?" Do you dare to do the same to Xiao Siwen's daughter? ”
The two guards were slightly stunned and stared at her.
Xiao Xuan smiled proudly, thinking that he had finally shocked them, sometimes identity is a good thing, and it is still a good way to scare and scare these people.
However, the two guards looked at Xiao Xuan for a long time, glanced at each other, and burst into laughter. This made Xiao Xuan's face change greatly.
"Laughing at what? Is there any fake? ”
The guard held the long knife and said lazily, "Lord Xiao's daughter, are you Princess Zhao?" The other guard laughed again.
When Xiao Sui heard the words 'Princess Zhao', her face immediately darkened.
The guard said again, "If you are not Princess Zhao, then what other daughter of Lord Xiao is like you?" He rubbed his chin and smiled maliciously, "Or are you the illegitimate daughter of Lord Xiao and the female beggar?" ”
The two guards leaned back and laughed.
Xiao Sui looked down at her clothes, the vermilion robe was hung out of marks by the grass and trees, the fluttering red dress was also tattered, she touched her hair again, it was loose, presumably her little face was also dirty, no wonder these little guards had such an attitude towards herself.
The two guards spoke viciously to each other, Xiao Xuan could not calm the sulk in his chest, and while they laughed wildly, his hand touched the flower skin whip on his waist.
She struck quickly and ruthlessly, and before the two guards could react, their faces were already bloodied.
Only then did a guard shout, "You stinky woman, dare to hit me, on!" He beckoned to the other, and the two of them drew their knives and slashed at Xiao Xuan.
The two people's clumsy kung fu was not at all the opponent of Xiao Xuan, who practiced the leather whip diligently, they couldn't get close to Xiao Xuan's body, but they were whipped by the leather whip and screamed, and their mouths kept spitting filthy and abusive words.
Xiao Xuan was very anxious in his heart, and he had to find the attendant named Qiliang as soon as possible in order to save Yeluxian. And at this moment, she was entangled by these two villains, and her whip became more and more ruthless, until their skin and flesh were opened.
The screams of the two guards finally caught the attention of the palace people.
"Who's causing trouble here? Stop! ”
Hearing the sound, the three of them stopped together, and the two guards covered their wounds with bared teeth, and their faces were a little respectful when they saw the comer.
Xiao Sui looked at this person, he was holding a lantern in his hand, and under the faint candlelight, he could see that he was dressed as a squire, but he looked at the guards with stern eyes, and the guards also smiled at him a little flatteringly.
Xiao Xuan could see that he was still a good speaker in the palace.
Qiliang looked at the disheveled Xiao Xuan, as if he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, he only felt that although she was in tattered clothes, she had indescribable nobility.
He said, "What's going on?" The tone was serious, and it was obvious that he was asking the two guards.
Xiao Sui replied first, "Do you know Qiliang?" There was no time for any further delay, so she simply got straight to the point.
Looking at Xiao Xuan's eyes, Qiliang only felt a kind of majesty circulating in her eyes, he bowed his head and replied respectfully, "The villain is Qiliang, what is the girl's value?" ”
Xiao Xuan's eyes flashed, and then flashed again, and he said happily, "Then you should know about this jade pendant, right?" She spread out her palms, revealing the jade pendant.
Qiliang was shocked, glanced at the two guards, was a little guarded, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get this pendant?" ”
Xiao Xuan said, "The owner of the jade pendant asked me to come to you, he said that you are his good brother, and you will save him, right?" His face could not hide his sadness, and his eyebrows furrowed.
"He's hurt?" Nanaliang asked.
"It's not, it's not, it's like I'm sick... Anyway, he couldn't move in pain... Come with me. Xiao Xuan couldn't explain what happened to Yeluxian.
