Where to see dirt?

That's right, Kong Lingfeng slapped his head, and then reacted.

Before, they had only searched the surface of the courtyard, and in the eyes of everyone, there was nowhere to put such a large pile of medicinal herbs, and if the thieves did not transport the medicinal herbs away, they would definitely find a stable place to store them.

But none of them thought that their feet would be hiding places!

"Quick, listen to Miss Lin, hurry up and dig."

Kong Lingfeng gave an order, and the guards waiting in the courtyard all went out, and soon, someone found the hidden medicinal herbs in the cellar of the backyard.

Lin Qi went to order the number, a box is not bad, all the medicinal materials are here.

"Miss Lin, you are really amazing, how do you know that the medicinal herbs are still in the other courtyard? When ordinary people saw the loss of medicinal materials, they must have thought of theft, and this time, even the master was blinded. ”

Lin Qi stepped forward and reached out to open one of the boxes, which was full of red rhizomes one foot long, with five leaves growing at the top, wrapped in a small flower bud.

"Because of it." Lin Qi took out one.

"This herb, called Baiye Crisp, has very different roots and leaves, with red rhizomes and white flowers and leaves. This herb has a characteristic, the roots and leaves are separated, and the rhizome will gradually change from the original red to white, but the process is longer, and in the process of change, there will be a brownish-red and gray-red state. ”

Behind him, many people had gathered unconsciously, all curious about why Lin Qi was able to discover medicinal herbs.

Lin Qi glanced at it and continued, "Kong Lingfeng, do you remember that you just mentioned that thirty steps away, you found a gray-red shutter cake?" ”

Kong Lingfeng nodded stunned.

"Ordinary people steal medicinal herbs, they are all moved away with the box, and if they want to leave traces, they will also leave traces indoors, how can they leave traces thirty steps away."

"This shows that someone deliberately left clues, but he didn't know the medicinal properties of the shutter crisp, so he tore a few plants from the box casually, and happened to separate the root leaves of the shutter crisp, which is one of them."

"At the scene of the incident, I found black feather jade powder in the dust, which was the drug used by the guards."

"Doctors all know that although the black feather jade has the effect of hallucinogenic and dizzy, the effect of the medicine is extremely violent, and the time that can be maintained is not more than the time of a pillar of incense, and in a short period of time, the medicinal materials can be moved to a position, but it is not easy to move them all, this is the second."

"The third ......"

Lin Qi walked straight over, pointing behind one person, a little dirt turned up with the footsteps of everyone, it is not difficult to see that there are many mud marks behind him.

No matter how clever the thief is, he still moves the medicinal herbs to a place, and when he comes and goes, there will be a little fresh soil on the ground and left in the inner room.

The crowd speaks for themselves.

Lin Qi's words, everyone present was convinced, even Lan Yin and Lan Ruo, who were standing at the door and listening to the root of the wall, also recognized her analysis in their hearts, however, this made Lan Ruo hate Lin Qi even more.

"Such a scheming, and said that he didn't come to seduce the master, who believes it!"

Lan Ruo didn't say a word, and rushed in directly to question, "Are you sure you haven't lost a single point of the medicinal materials?" What's the deal with the chariot at the door? The dead grass that was broken was obviously the result of being crushed by heavy objects. ”

Deliberately made a car wheel print?

Xiao Chengyue!

"It's not good, the prince is in danger!" Lin Qi's eyes widened, and he exclaimed such a sentence, and immediately ran out of the yard, galloping horses, and a few flashes disappeared.

If those people put a lot of effort into it, but the focus was not on the medicinal materials at all, then there was only one intention left, to use the medicinal materials to lure Xiao Chengyue to the bait, and take the opportunity to catch him all.

That person is making a noise, and the highlight is actually on Xiao Chengyue's side!

Lin Qi's brows were furrowed, the tightened horse rope grinded her hands into red and swollen, and her ears were the cold hunting wind shuttling by, and every cut on her face was a tingling pain, but she couldn't care about it at all.

At this moment, in Lin Qi's heart, there is only Xiao Chengyue!

However, when she rushed to the direction of Xiao Chengyue, she didn't notice at all that the ten-core lotus stone worn on her heart instantly lit up again.

Sure enough, as Lin Qi expected, the small mountain road was completely deserted within a few miles, and there was no road, surrounded by thorns and stones stacked on the edge of the mountain.

The experience of fighting for many years told her that the terrain here is very dangerous!

Lin Qi dismounted and walked on foot, and after walking for about a moment, he suddenly saw a rocky collapse not far away, and the entire mountain stream had been completely buried for most of it, and the gravel was not yet stable.

On the ground, there were faint traces of blood seeping from under the rubble, and along the withered grass on the ground, the surrounding soil was dyed blood-red.

This is...... Already in an ambush?

No way!

Lin Qi tried his best to suppress his trembling heart, his eyes were blood-red, but he never shed a single tear.

She ran over and reached out to pick up a trail of blood from the ground, which was still a bright red warm liquid, and it seemed that it had not been long since it happened.

And save, save!

Lin Qi desperately moved the stones, and suddenly, a shadow appeared from under the stones, Lin Qi picked it up, it was a hairpin, she recognized, this is Xiao Chengyue's black jade hairpin.

The line of defense in my mind exploded with a "boom".

This is absolutely impossible, how could a vigilant person like Xiao Chengyue not know that this was a trap.

He didn't die when he fought on the battlefield, he didn't die when he was poisoned and injured, he didn't die when he was plotted many times, how could he be killed by this little trick today?

Lin Qi's hands couldn't stop trembling, under the cold wind, her hands touched the cold stone, and even her heart was soaked cold, hoping that with her action of moving the stone, little by little, it would disappear.

"Xiao Chengyue, you come out for me, I don't believe you died like this, you come out for me!" Lin Qi shouted with scarlet eyes, still digging stones, the nails of his hands were worn out, and they were also drenched in blood.

Her face began to panic uncontrollably, and the movements of her hands became more and more desperate.

Kong Lingfeng and the others followed, and in the cold wind, they saw a small white figure, trembling and lying on the stones, constantly looking around, looking for them, and there were piles of stones around, but she was the only one who attracted people's attention.

"Master......"

"Miss......"

Kong Lingfeng and the others also exclaimed, and immediately rushed over.

Lin Qi held the black jade hairpin tightly in his hand, and slowly climbed from under the stone to the top.

Beyond the stone pile, at a glance, the other side is even more shocking red, the corpses are not only buried at the bottom of the stone, but also many have been stoned to death and spread on the wasteland.

As soon as the nerves touched, she stumbled and tried to climb over, but suddenly she stumbled on her legs, and the whole person rolled down from the top of the stone pile like a broken ball, and smashed down with large and small stones.

Lin Qi's leg was smashed by a stone, the ash of the soil was soaked in blood, and the warm corpse beside her had been completely buried under the stone, but fortunately she dodged in time to avoid it.

She got up, tossed around the corpses, completely ignoring the pain in her body, and kept shouting, "Xiao Chengyue, Xiao Chengyue?" ”

However, rummaging through the corpses, none of them were him.

Has he already ......

"Xiao Chengyue, you come out! You're out! ”

There was silence all around, only the whirring cold wind repelled her, and fear, like the waves of the cold water of a glacial lake, slowly swallowed her whole person, and with hope, it was annihilated little by little.

Lin Qi sat under the pile of rubble, and finally stopped, his hands had been worn out by stones and dry grass, and his hands were full of bloody wounds, and he had been holding the black jade hairpin tightly in his hands.

"Didn't you say you liked me? Didn't you say you had to protect me? Didn't you say...... As long as I'm here, I don't have to be afraid of anything? I need you now, where are you! ”

She slowly closed her eyes, screamed in pain from the bottom of her heart, and a line of hot tears rolled down, Lin Qi finally recognized how important Xiao Chengyue's position in her heart was.

Even if she is not Luo Baisu, even if she has always complained that Xiao Chengyue did not save Xiao Wu's family at that time, even if she knows, Xiao Chengyue may be more interested in using her.

However, he never hurt her in the slightest.

Every time he is in distress, he stands up, every grievance, he accompanies him, every step is he thinks about and arranges for her, he hides himself behind him, blocks the difficulties, reprimands himself, and serves as his backing.

But it turned out that Xiao Chengyue had always taken her to heart, and he had already been moved but didn't know it, and regarded it as a cooperative relationship......

"If you need it, the king will always be there."

Lin Qi hugged his knees and cried bitterly, and suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

She turned her head and saw Xiao Chengyue with a black hair, standing a few steps away looking at her with a smile on his face.

He held the Qingpin sword with his back to the wind, his wide robe was pulled down several times, the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, and his face was faintly pale, because the ink clothes were flying, and he couldn't see the wounds on his body.

But the scarlet on his arms, face, and neck, as well as the body that he tried his best to hide at the moment but could only use the Qingpin Sword to support without falling, revealed what happened to him just now.

Behind him were three or four guards, who were also covered in blood and injured, and when they saw Lin Qi, they all looked respectful and walked away with interest.

"Xiao Chengyue......" Lin Qi stood up and looked at him in shock, she still had tears on her face and her eyes were red, "You're not dead?" ”

The four eyes touched, and there was like a light in the nerves, bursting out from the bottom of my heart.

Lin Qi rushed over, threw himself into Xiao Chengyue's arms, hugged him tightly, and cried loudly, "Why didn't you come out when you were still alive, I thought you were dead, I thought you were ...... I'll never see you again. ”

At that moment, it was like all the defenses and emotions collapsed in an instant.

The reserved, indifferent, and arrogant things she had always held on to in her heart, her step-by-step and peerless, at that moment, in front of him, fell apart and disappeared!

Xiao Chengyue hugged her tighter with his backhand, and gently patted her back with his palm, "If I die, who will protect you in the future?" ”

How can I leave you alone......

The two hugged each other tightly, the familiar temperature and familiar atmosphere, and all misunderstandings were self-defeating.

Lin Qi buried her head in his arms, a faint ambergris, a sense of security that only his arms could give, she shook her head, choked her throat and said, "I don't allow you to die, I don't allow you to leave me, if you die, I will ......"

Xiao Chengyue saw her sad for being so out of control for the first time, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart, and cupped her cheeks to wipe her tears.

"If this king is really dead today, what will you do?"

He shouldn't have asked, after waiting for so long, finally waiting for her sincerity, he was already content, but he still wanted to know an answer.

What would happen to her if he did die today?

Will you cry in front of his tombstone for three days and three nights? Or go with him to the Yellow Springs, or ...... Turn around and forget about him, and marry someone else.

Lin Qi stubbornly raised his head from his arms, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, but he suddenly opened his eyebrows and laughed, "What flowers do you like?" ”

Xiao Chengyue was stunned.

"If you die, I will go to your grave and plant flowers, one a day, one a month, once a year, and when the next year the mountains are full of flowers and fragrance, I will leave you, forever and ever, as the price for you to leave me."

……

Pride is like a forest.

Xiao Chengyue looked at her bright eyes with splashes, obviously smiling, but she was extremely distressed, like a fine needle pricked, dense.

Instantly, like a fish in the throat.

Continue to reach out and encircle her in her arms, "Silly girl, what do I want?" If you are, I am. ”

If one day I'm gone, you'll have to be well.

Xiao Chengyue replied silently in his heart.

He had waited for a long time for these words, and today he finally heard them from her mouth, and he couldn't help but increase the strength of his hug a little more.

But at that time, there was a roar from the mountain, rushing down from the top of the mountain, making people feel that from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet, they were shaking one after another.

"Oh no, the mountain is going to collapse."

Lin Qi and Xiao Chengyue looked at each other for a certain time, exchanged a look with each other, and got a positive answer from the other party, without saying a word, they ran straight to the back mountain.

At the mountain stream where the two of them retreated, in the blink of an eye, they saw that the boulder was capped, and the entire stream was instantly piled up more than ten zhang, and there were no living beings to follow.
