The night of the full moon.

The blood-red moon shimmered in the dark night sky.

Chang Xi sat outside the main hall, looking at the blood bats hanging upside down from the throat with a strange low whining sound, many blood bats, densely gathered under the eaves, hanging upside down, making the originally magnificent hall look extremely weird.

The fierce eyes that glowed red, the sharp fangs exposed to the outside glowed with pale green saliva, these monsters exuded a strange smell, and it was difficult for people to accept a single one, not to mention that there were so many gathered together, the fishy smell was pervasive, giving people an indescribable sense of disgust.

The low whining of the blood bats was not loud, and because it was not loud, many of them mixed together, and let out one low whining sound after another, which was more numbing to the scalp than the hoarse cries.

What a bunch of nasty brutes.

Chang Xi leaned back in the chair, her fingers unconsciously rotating the jade wrench on her thumb, thinking confusedly in her heart.

Under the shadow of the lamp in the porch, the fire danced and stood silently, without saying a word.

Si Ba and the others stood a little further below the imperial staircase, waiting motionlessly.

Si Qian stood under the vermilion lacquer pillar in the porch, standing tall and straight.

Soon, the blood bats hanging upside down under the eaves began to stir, and the low whining gradually became louder, and after a while, suddenly, a blood bat flapped its wings and flew in through the open window. After one entered, other blood bats immediately flew in, and finally the blood bats hanging upside down under the eaves all became in a commotion, huddled together and flew in along the window, densely packed, huhula, there were hundreds. A group of large, ugly bats gathered together like a long dragon, and strangers will get goosebumps at the first sight of this scene.

But the people guarding outside the main hall were commonplace, and there was no superfluous reaction.

About half an hour later, blood bats began to fly out of the window one after another.

Si Qian's eyes as he looked at those bats were even more red.

He waited silently, silently counting, until the last blood bat flew out of the window, and after waiting for a moment, he took a step, walked out of the palace in silence, pushed the door open, entered, and closed the door again.

Chang Xi and Huo Wu watched him calmly and walked in and closed the door of the hall, and the two of them didn't say a word.

Chang Xi's speed of spinning the jade wrench suddenly accelerated, faster and faster, and after about a quarter of an hour, he suddenly let go of his fingers, leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and looked at the gloomy red moon in the night sky, and after a while, he laughed self-deprecatingly:

"I don't even have the qualifications to serve blood."

He didn't say much, as if he was talking to himself, and probably didn't want anyone to respond to him because of this, he was just laughing at himself.

Huo Wu glanced at him, spoke, and said lightly:

"Neither do I."

Chang Xi glanced at her.

Chang Xi doesn't hate Fire Dance, Fire Dance is much more likable than Si Qian, but he doesn't like to compare himself with Fire Dance, if he wants to be compared, he would rather stand on the same line with Si Qian.

The two did not speak again.

It wasn't until another quarter of an hour later that the door in the hall was suddenly opened, and Si Qian walked out of it.

Huo Wu didn't pay attention to him, and when he saw him come out, he immediately took steps into the main hall, followed by Si 7, Si 8, Si 9, and Si 10, and quickly climbed the steps, followed Huo Wu, and hurriedly entered the main hall.

Si Qian came out of the main hall, although Chang Xi was sitting in front of the temple gate, he ignored his existence as if he didn't see it, walked straight down the imperial steps, and went into the distance.

Chang Xi didn't look at him, just sat quietly like that, let him pass by and leave silently, without even giving him a look out of the corner of his eye.

Chang Xi was a little jealous of Si Qian, so he hated him.

Chang Xi could neither go in for Si Qian at the beginning, nor could he go in with Huo Wu when they went in later, sometimes he felt a little ridiculous, but behind the ridiculousness, he felt a wave of helpless sadness. This sadness is too thick, and he is already tired of his heart, and he can't shake it off.

He tilted his head, froze for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.

……

The night passed, and it was another sunny day.

Chenguang woke up from the soft bed, frowning, feeling every inch of skin in his body twitch and ache. while

When the word "pain" flashed into her mind, she froze, opened her eyes, froze for a moment, and then blinked twice.

She came to her senses, lay down on the bed, thought blankly for a moment, and slowly got up from the bed.

Fire Dance immediately walked to the side of the bed and asked softly:

"Your Highness, do you get up?"

Chenguang sat for a while, raised his head in a daze, stared at her for a long time, and asked:

"What time is it?"

"It's noon."

"Hmm." Chenguang scratched his long unkempt hair, was silent for a while, and said in a slimy voice, "Xiao Wu, I want to bathe." ”

"The water is ready."

Chenguang nodded, slowly climbed down from the soft bed, and walked to the bath room next door, where the hot air in the tub made of sandalwood was sprinkled with many rose petals.

Huo Wu pulled up Chenguang's long hair and pinned it behind her head, then took off the white silk dress that was loosely tied around her body for her. After taking off the long skirt, on the skin as white as jade and as thin as paper, dense scars came into view, each wound was as deep as a knuckle, purple, purple, red and red, all over the body, as long as it was on the skin, especially the rich blood veins, no place was intact.

Huo Wu opened his eyes and hung the silk skirt on the screen beside him.

Morning Light had happily stepped into the tub and shrunk up, and when the petals floating on the surface were pushed to the sides, the dark brown medicinal soup was revealed, exuding a strong smell of medicine.

Chenguang flattened his mouth and said regretfully:

"The potion sprinkled with petals or the potion!"

She also shrank her neck into the drug-smelling potion, revealing only half of her head, and blew bubbles.

She soaked for a while, then stuck her head out again, and suddenly said: "Xiao Wu, in fact, Nanyue is not rich, the dignified queen of Nanyue doesn't even have a hot spring pool, I want the kind of hot spring pool that can spew water from the beast's head in Long Xiguo." ”

"Although there are no hot springs in Nanyue, it is still possible to dig a hot spring pool, if Your Highness likes it, the slave maid will ask Your Highness to dig a pool with a beast's head in the palace." Fire Dance said with a smile.

Chenguang didn't say good, nor did he say bad.

She thought for a moment and asked, "What time did you just say it was?" ”

"It's noon."

"Is Xiaoxi gone?"

"When he saw that His Highness was still asleep at dawn, he left."

Before the situation was completely stabilized, Chang Xi would lead 30,000 troops to defend South Vietnam after the war for Chenguang.

After a major war, the number of troops was drastically reduced, and after the war, there were many things that needed to be revived and planned. With Changxi's 30,000 people here, Chenguang can go to Chiyang Country with peace of mind and don't have to worry about a fire in the backyard.
