2. Cold Night (2)

When Chu Ning heard this voice, the secret path was not good, and he looked around to find a place to take refuge. In the middle of the backyard of the mansion is a tall shadow tree, its leaves shimmering like starlight. Chu Ning hid sideways in the shadows cast by the shadow wood, gathered his breath, and looked out.

Su Yu's wife is the princess of the Eastern Qi royal family, although she is only the daughter of the clan, she grew up beside the queen mother since she was a child, and she was married from the palace that year. Su Yu and this Princess Ankang have only one daughter, who is the eldest lady Su Jinyao in the mouth of Mrs. Xu.

At this moment, Su Jinyao was taking her spirit pet Phantom Phoenix and secretly walking towards the beast garden next to Renxinzhai. The phoenix had a tail feather like fine brocade, and it dragged long behind it, but there was only one foot under it, and it jumped and jumped when it walked, and its pointed and long mouth hooked downwards like a scimitar commonly used by the people of the northern steppe.

Chu Ning suddenly remembered that he heard that about half a month ago, Su Yu went out in person, and it is said that he caught a very rare little beast and opened a separate room in the beast garden and locked it, and no one was allowed to approach it at will. Dongqi has always looked at the art of mastering spirits, and the people in the royal family are especially fond of rare spirit beasts. The people in the house privately guessed what he meant, and most of them were to be offered as a rui beast on the birthday of King Qi.

It seems that this mysterious beast has not even been glanced at by this eldest lady.

The branches and leaves of the shadow tree covered Chu Ning's breath, and Su Jinyao passed in front of her, not even noticing. When the Phantom Phoenix paced in front of the shadow wood where Chu Ning was hiding, he tilted his head to look in Chu Ning's direction, and let out a "woo" sound from his throat. Su Jinyao immediately turned around and pulled it: "Don't scream, hurry up and keep up." ”

One person and one bird entered the beast garden, and Su Jinyao skillfully took out the paper tag and pasted it on the white crane above the door knocker of the beast garden. The paper sign was dazzling with golden light, and at a glance, it was clear that it was from the hand of a person with abundant spiritual power, and it must have been taken from her father. Su Jinyao said something in his mouth, and then there was a soft "ding", and a small crack opened in the door of the beast garden.

Su Jinyao cheered very lightly and pushed the door open.

Chu Ning also looked through the moonlight, and in the empty room, there was an iron cage more than one person high, but the cage looked empty at first glance. In the corner of the cage, a small, pure white beast curled up. The ears are long, hanging down from the sides of the head, but the tail is huge, waving slightly behind him like a flag.

Su Jinyao took a few steps forward, and couldn't help but whisper softly: "It's so cute......"

The Phantom Phoenix behind him immediately let out a shriek of dissatisfaction. Spread your wings and go to the iron cage.

In Eastern Qi, every soul master from a family will choose his own spirit pet. Between the pet and the owner, the heart is connected and intimate. This phantom phoenix has followed Su Jinyao since it came out of the eggshell, and at this time, when he saw that his master was full of praise for other spiritual objects, he was jealous like a child.

"Phantom, don't make trouble!" Su Jinyao snorted lightly, her eyes still staring at the little beast, "How can my father say that it is so dangerous, it is lying to me, I am afraid that I will borrow it to play." As she spoke, she had already taken out another piece of paper and pasted it on the iron cage, and after a while, the iron cage disappeared as if out of thin air, and the paper stick fell to the ground in a flutter.

Su Jinyao's eyes were shining, she squatted down and reached out to touch the little beast, and when her hand was about to touch the top of the little beast's head, the little beast took a few steps back, and suddenly let out a deafening roar. The sound of the whistle shook the trees in the courtyard, and Su Jinyao was dizzy by the sound, and her ears buzzed.

Although Chu Ning was covered by shadow wood, he also felt extremely uncomfortable being shaken by this sound. The whistling sent a gust of wind that swept the branches and leaves of the Shadow Wood, spreading out in both directions. The moonlight shone directly, Chu Ning secretly screamed that it was not good, there was no shadow wood branches and leaves to cover it, and Su Jinyao could see her when she turned around.

Before he had time to think about it, the small white shadow had already rushed straight in the direction of Chu Ning. Su Jinyao came back to her senses and shouted: "Phantom Phoenix! Stop it! ”
