Ling Xiao's hand for the black spirit mang's medicine trembled a little, looking at these deep and shallow wounds, her heart was slightly sour, these injuries were all suffered by her, if there was no black spirit mang these days, maybe she would have suffered a long time ago. She stared at its glass-beaded eyes, and couldn't help but whisper, "Xuan Wu, thank you." Now I owe you a few lives, maybe I can't remember it myself. ”

"It is said that snakes are cold-blooded, but it doesn't seem to be true." Gu Minluo shook his head lightly and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Gu Minluo's voice was not loud, and through the sound of firewood, Ling Xiao only heard it faintly. She stretched out her hand and stroked the huge head of the black spirit, and looked at Gu Minluo through the dancing flames, "How did you appear here at this hour?" ”

"I was going to Qiantang. When I was leaving, I heard the news that you had escaped, so I didn't rush to leave. Three days ago, I overheard a pedestrian talking about a python in the town, and after some inquiry, I guessed that the woman was you. That's right, you hit the road early yesterday morning, and I followed it all the way. Sure enough, something happened, but I didn't think about those people who weren't Brother Ke. Gu Minluo did not hide it, and told the truth about the reason for the incident, which was quite frank.

Gu Minluo did not leave after going down the cliff that day, and searched for Ling Xiao in the forest for several days, not only did he not find any trace of Ling Xiao, but he almost ran into a group of his own people and was dodged by him. He didn't want Ke Tianxu to know about his search for Ling Xiao, after all, he felt that this matter was a bit complicated, and he was worried that his friend would think too much.

Gu Minluo searched for a few days to no avail, and he had already given up. I passed through the town and heard people talking about a giant python on the street. Immediately, he was a little sensitive, and he heard Xun Yang say that they fought that day, and a giant python appeared under the sinkhole, which was extremely ferocious and killed many of them.

As soon as he inquired carefully, and as soon as he heard the descriptions of those people, he became a little suspicious, and knew that the woman had not left, so he found an inn to stay in, not very far from the medicine shop.

Yesterday, when Ling Xiao left, Gu Minluo confirmed the conjecture in his heart, and he followed him from afar all the way. Tonight, he started here, but he was some distance away from Ling Xiao, so he came a little late. In fact, it was not that he was late, but that those people were too fast.

Ling Xiao stared at Gu Minluo for a moment, and seeing that his face was calm, a wisp of doubt appeared between her beautiful eyebrows, and she was puzzled: "Why are you like this?" I have nothing to do with you, if you want to say that there is, it is also on the battlefield, belonging to the enemy. ”

"I just don't want to upset the woman I care about." Gu Minluo replied very plainly, and the reason was very direct, but his expression was serious.

Ling Xiao pretended to have more questions in his heart, but he didn't ask again, if you directly asked him who the woman he cared about was, you would be too presumptuous, it would involve other people's privacy.

It was because of a woman, who was supposed to be her friend, not an enemy, but she couldn't guess who the woman was. In her opinion, the person in front of her was willing to help her for a woman, and he must have been moved by true feelings.

In this way, it can be seen that not all the people on the flying cliff are ruthless and cold-blooded, and they do all kinds of evil.

Ling Xiao didn't have a look on his face, and the whole person sat there looking quite weak. She looked at the firelight, and after a long time, she raised her eyes and said, "Can you help me unlock the acupoints on my body?" If you find it difficult, forget it. ”

"I forgot about it." Gu Minluo smiled helplessly, shook his sleeves and got up, walked around the bonfire to Ling Xiao, and tapped twice in two places on her back, "Don't complain about Brother Ke." He's just targeting the prince, but he's not hostile to you. ”

"How can he say that there is no hostility when he insults me like this?" Ling Xiao tilted his head to look at Gu Minluo out of the corner of his eye, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this time, the acupuncture points were unlocked, and she felt much more comfortable all over her body, as if there were countless gentle and cold air currents swimming in her meridians, making her feel comfortable and relaxed.

Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Gu Minluo didn't know how to speak again for a while, so he simply didn't explain much, turned around and returned to his original position and sat down. After a moment of silence, he diverted the topic and got down to business: "You are seriously injured, and it will be difficult to walk by relying on your feet. If you don't mind, you can walk with me, the horse is far away. Take you to Qiantang by the way, and slowly heal your injuries. After a night of rain, after a long time, I am afraid that there will be a hidden disease. ”

Gu Minluo knew that Ling Xiao was now the second lady of the Jiang family, and if he went to Qiantang with him, he could send her back to the Jiang Mansion, where it would be appropriate to recuperate from her injuries. However, he immediately thought of something and added: "However, the fourth prince of the Central Plains Kingdom may still be in Qiantang. I'm just reminding you not to run into it. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Even if there is no Four Princes, I will not go to Qiantang for the time being. My injuries are out of the way, and now that the acupuncture points are unlocked, ordinary people can't help me. You'll leave early tomorrow morning. Ling Xiao shook his head, his eyes were a little hollow and cloudy, his expression was languid, and his thin lips were pale.

Ling Xiao was seriously ill, due to the rain that night, her menstrual affairs have not been completely good so far, external injuries and internal injuries, her body has suffered great pain, and now she can still sit, completely because of the result of strong support. But she didn't want to go to Qiantang with Gu Minluo, she hadn't found Lu Jingxing yet, and she didn't want to leave.

At this time, it was the second half of the night, the sky and the earth were lonely and dark, the sky was full of stars, the crescent moon had disappeared, and the occasional night bird cry was heard in the forest, mourning and desolation. Ling Xiao really couldn't hold on, and finally fell asleep on the ground with his head resting on Hei Lingmang, but he didn't sleep very peacefully.

Gu Minluo saw that Ling Xiao's mind had been decided, and he didn't force it, but seeing her current physical condition, he was not very relieved. In the end, he escorted her for a while, and when she got out of Guilin County, the two separated. One goes directly to the east, and the other goes northeast to enter the border of the Central Plains.

The number of people who died near the sinkhole was too large, an entire village, and not only the villagers of the whole village died, but even so many people from other countries, and the whole area was full of rotting corpses and lifeless, which finally alarmed the court of Nanzhuan Kingdom.

When the county guard of Guilin County played this matter, it can be said that it shocked the government and the opposition, and the monarch of Nanzhuan State, Ji Chen, was furious on the spot, ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and severely punished the county guard.

Although this was done by the people of the rivers and lakes, it has seriously touched the bottom line of the imperial court. Whether it is ordinary people or people from the rivers and lakes, they are all the people of Ji Chen, and so many people died in an instant, so much of his face, not to mention anything else.

Ji Chen felt that he was too indulgent to those thieves on the rivers and lakes, so he would lead to such a major incident, if he didn't care about it now, he was afraid that he would rebel in the future.

Under the scorching sun, the city of Jundu is still prosperous, with pedestrians and buildings on the streets. A very ordinary carriage drove from the city gate, turned through several bustling streets, and stopped on the opposite street from the Six Princes' Mansion.

Out of the carriage came two men in coarse cloth tights, one with a stubble on his face, the other slightly delicate, both under thirty. The man with stubble on his face carried a red lacquered wooden box about a foot wide in his arms, and followed the handsome man to the imposing door of the mansion opposite.

The handsome man came to a guard, bowed slightly, clenched his fists, and said in a humble tone: "Can the sixth prince be in the mansion?" We are from the dart game, and someone asked us to hand this over to the Six Princes. He pointed to the wooden box in the stubble man's arms.

"Your Highness is not here, just give me the things and wait, and then hand them over when His Highness returns home." The guard spoke plain and easy-going, glancing at the large wooden box.

Hearing this, the handsome man frowned slightly, looked embarrassed, hesitated, looked at the guard and asked: "Gu Dart's person said that this thing is very important, and asked us to personally deliver it to the Six Princes, and please tell me where the Six Princes are now?" ”

The guards lowered their eyebrows, their eyes wandered slightly, and they thought for a moment or two, if it was really an important thing, it was not good for them to ask casually, so as not to make a mistake, it would be safer to let the six princes deal with it personally. He raised his eyes again, took a few steps down the stone steps, and pointed to the end of the street: "Your Highness, he is in Baiwei Tower at the moment, and the Fifth Highness is about to travel far away, and today is the practice banquet of the Fifth Highness." You can go to find Your Highness, turn this street and go straight. ”

"Thank you." The handsome man clenched his fists again, then returned to the carriage and instructed the coachman to drive to Baiwei Tower.

Baiwei Lou is one of the best luxury restaurants in Jundu, and it is a place where dignitaries and dignitaries often gather. The furnishings inside are elegant, gorgeous and magnificent, ushering in the send-off, and the daily guests are endless, lively and extraordinary.

At this time, in a high-class private room, the orchestra is leisurely, singing and dancing lingering, and seven or eight talented people of the family are sitting behind the case full of jade plates and delicacies, pushing cups and changing lamps with each other, talking and laughing.

A guy quietly walked in, walked to Xiao Ye, who was standing in the corner, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xiao Ye's expression changed slightly, and he walked around behind everyone towards Yanling Zhan, bringing him the guy's original words.

"Something important? Or is it a big wooden box? Yan Lingzhan looked at the void, his eyes were a little deeper, and his eyebrows were full of suspicion. He didn't remember that he had left something important outside, and he still needed someone to send it.

Yan Lingzhan was silent for a moment, and then simply ordered, "Let him in." ”

"Sixth brother, but is there something?" The Nine Emperor Princes, Yanling Li, spoke elegantly, revealing a trace of childishness, and was a thirteen-year-old boy. He sat not far from Yanlingzhan and saw that his sixth brother had a strange expression.

Yan Lingzhan waved his hand: "It shouldn't be a big deal." ”

The handsome man who had just delivered the dart was led in, and when he saw a group of noble characters sitting in the room, he consciously bowed down again, his eyes did not dare to glance, and he went straight to Yanlingzhan's side.

Although the man did not deliberately spoil the crowd's interest in watching the song and dance, he walked through the aisle left behind the crowd. But as soon as he entered the door, everyone noticed him, and when they saw that he was holding a wooden box in his hand, they were all curious.
