Chapter Seventy-Three: Dignitaries (1)
"The secret edict of the first emperor has rarely been seen, you say it is fake? It's just trying to cover up. ”
"You keep talking about secret edicts, don't you know that privately spreading fake edicts is a capital crime?"
"I personally took it down from Hawksbill Peak."
Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin finally understood why Liyunqi was so sure that it was Xiao Huaijin who led the troops to kill the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and he sneered: "In the whole world, are you the only one who can go to Eagle's Beak Peak?" This king will tell you again that when the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was destroyed, this king was in the imperial city, and he was not in the Eagle's Beak Peak at all. ”
After speaking, he smashed the sheath of the incense in front of Liyun Qi.
Liyun Qi naturally knows how important this knife is to Wanxiang, and now that the scabbard is here and the blade is no longer there, he must have encountered some danger: "What happened to you?" ”
"Do you still think I'm the one who left the incense? This king tells you that night Wanxiang came to me with the jade and the secret edict of the first emperor you gave, and he was chased and killed by Xiao Huaihui's people when he left the imperial city alone, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ”
"No...... The prince said that he would help reunite our brother and sister. ”
Xiao Huaijin raised his hand, and he was taken to the courtyard by Liang Cuo when he left Yunqi. In the middle of the courtyard were two bodies that had begun to decompose.
Xiao Huaijin stood behind: "The people of King Yi's Mansion, you know better than this king how to identify." It is even more important to see clearly what kind of poison is among them. ”
Liyun Qi climbed forward to check on the corpse with a broken arm, pinched their mouths and saw the alien teeth inlaid inside, it seemed that it was really King Yi's person.
Xiao Huaijin stood up and walked in front of Liyun Qi: "This corpse is left for you." This king doesn't have time to explain to you what happened ten years ago, if you can't find Juanxiang or find her body, you can keep this life and regret it. ”
After speaking, Xiao Huaijin raised his hand and asked someone to take the two corpses down with Liyun Qi, turned around and went back to the room to wait for the news of Wanxiang.
Liang Cuo followed Xiao Huaijin closely, "It seems that King Yi is ready to do something, should we also do something?" ”
"You don't have to do anything, as long as Juanxiang comes back, everything will be solved."
As long as Wanxiang is safe, Xiao Huaijin is not afraid of anything.
……
The water surface of the Fengjiang River is foggy, there are dense forests and deep valleys on the bank, the mountains are empty at night, and occasionally a few wild beasts howl, and there is only one family in the forest of Cen Jing Mountain.
The family's youngest son walked on the shore, trying to put away the fishing basket that had been put into the river in the morning. As soon as he stepped into the water, he saw a wet woman next to him staring at him.
"Ahh
The woman suddenly rushed out and grabbed the boy's shoulders and put a knife against his neck.
"Don't kill me!"
"Is this close to the Imperial City, or close to Beixun?"
"This ...... This...... I do not know! ”
"If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you."
The boy felt the cold breath on the woman's body, and his legs weakened: "Don't! I really don't know! My dad knows. ”
"Where's your father?"
"At home, my house lives in front."
"Take me there. Don't be clever, or I'll kill your whole family and make human skin lanterns. ”
The boy had to obediently tremble and take the incense home, and the family saw that their son was being held hostage by a half-human, half-ghost thing, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "You...... What do you want? ”
"What don't I want, is this closer to the Imperial City or closer to Beixun?"
"Imperial City, of course Imperial City!"
"Can you go into the city?"
"Yes! We didn't go into the city three days to deliver wild vegetables and fresh fish and shrimp to the restaurant. ...... be able to get in."
The woman plucked her hairpin and handed it to the man: "Go into the city today, go to the general's mansion to find Bai Xiuzi, and say that Wanxiang is waiting for him to save him." ”
"Okay, I'll ...... at dawn"
"Go now, if you can't get in, wait at the gate to open the gate. My knife is highly poisonous and blood seals my throat, if I can't wait for Bai Xiuzi, my hands are shaking, just wait for your son's skin to paste the lantern for me to play. ”
The boy's mother hurriedly pushed the man in the family: "Go! You go! Fairy Gu, don't you ...... He's going now, don't worry! Let go of my child. ”
"Are you stupid for me? If you don't see Bai Xiuzi, don't want me to release your son. ”
The man hurriedly ran out and saw Wanxiang covering his lower abdomen, the woman took some medicine and was about to hand it to Wanxiang, who immediately mentioned it against the boy's neck. The boy was so frightened that he shouted: "Mother! Mother! ”
"Immortal! I'll get you the medicine! ”
Wanxiang took the medicine bottle and put it to her nose and sniffed it: "Hemostatic medicine?" ”
"Yes! The hemostatic medicine brought back by the Imperial City. ”
Although there was nothing strange in the incense, she still didn't plan to use their medicine. The pain of constant tearing of the wound in the lower abdomen, dizziness due to blood loss.
Wanxiang tried her best to stay awake, waiting for Bai Xiuzi to pick her up.
I don't know how long it has been, and Juanka's consciousness begins to blur. She really wanted to ask someone to find Xiao Huaijin, but she didn't know that she couldn't see him.
She began to see what was in front of her, but she tried to keep her eyes wide in fear. The dilapidated wooden door creaked open, and Akika realized that it was already bright outside.
The man who walked in from the light seemed to be Xiao Huaijin who she was thinking about. Putting down the child in her hand, tears were about to flow out, she called: "Lord Wang......"
Bai Xiuzi left a piece of silver, picked up the incense, and only said, "Let's go back." ”
Although she called Xiao Huaijin in her mouth, she was looking for herself when she was conscious, which made Bai Xiuzi hug her tightly.
……
Xiao Huaijin was drawing in the East Courtyard while waiting for news, and the person who came back had no other reply except to say 'I didn't find it'.
The wind blew the window, and a subtle sound came into Xiao Huaijin's ears, and he hurriedly dropped his pen and stood up: "Juanxiang?!" ”
Looking at the door, I didn't see the red shoe I imagined. I had to sit back on the couch again, and there was no chatter next to me, no one chattered while grinding ink, and no one was making trouble for myself while cooking tea.
The pen hung in the air for a long time, and the vermilion of the nib fell low on the delicate person on the paper, who was wearing a wedding dress.
"Lord Wang!"
"Found it?"
The person on the side of the case looked up: "In the woods next to Fengjiang, a family said that they had seen Miss Wanxiang. But ......"
"Where are the people? But what? ”
"But I heard from the family that the girl was seriously injured and was dying when she was taken away."
Xiao Huaijin leaned forward and grabbed the pen in his hand: "Who took it away?" ”
"General Zhenguo, Bai Xiuzi."
Xiao Huaijin, who was sitting in front of the desk, didn't speak, but the pen was pinched off.
"They said that it was Miss Juanxiang who told them to go into the city to find General Bai, otherwise she would have skinned her son and made a human skin lantern."
Xiao Huaijin suddenly smiled, put down the pen, stood up, put on his robe, hung up his sword, and walked out: "Prepare the horse." ”
"Where is the prince going?"
"General's Palace."
She refused to go back to the palace, but she couldn't stay in the general's mansion either. Xiao Huaijin sped up his pace to find Bai Xiuzi to ask for someone, and he had to snatch someone back.
Bai Xiuzi on the other side was standing on the edge of the bed with an anxious expression, looking at the bloodless incense on his face: "How many days have it been?" How long will it take to wake up? ”
"It's not clear, the old wound has not healed and new injuries have been added, the fever does not go away, the pulse is weak, and it is unknown whether the life can be saved now. The general had already planned. ”
"That's ......"
As soon as he took her to his side, he was told to 'plan early', and Bai Xiuzi didn't know what the reason was. sent people away, sat down next to Wanxiang by himself, and tucked the quilt for her.
"You can hear me clearly, don't die in my house. If you want to stay, you have to be a living person. ”
While speaking, Bai Xiuzi sighed, curious in his heart that Xiao Huaijin was about to hold her in his hands, why he found himself instead of Xiao Huaijin at this critical moment.
How twists and turns are in the meantime, Bai Xiuzi does not know.
But the person who was thinking in his heart soon arrived at the General's Mansion: "General, King Pingnan is here." ”
"This is coming?" Bai Xiuzi didn't notice that Wanxiang's eyelashes trembled, and he got up and ordered the maid on the side: "Take good care of her." ”
"Yes."
Come here at this time, you don't have to think about it to know that Xiao Huaijin is here to ask for someone.
Xiao Huaijin sat in the front hall of the General's Mansion aggressively, and he didn't even glance at the tea that came up from the maid.
"The king of Pingnan and Nan is driving, and he is far away." Bai Xiuzi opened his mouth and stepped forward to greet people, looking like nothing had happened.
He could still laugh, but Xiao Huaijin couldn't laugh at all: "Where is the incense?" ”
"Ayaka? Isn't Wanxiang from Pingnan Palace? The prince came to me to ask for incense? ”
