Chapter 93: A Strange Smell
"Why do I think you have a strange smell on you?" Fengzhu wanted to go up and smell it again.
The little dragon lion dodged away again, with a look of disgust, "You only have a strange smell." ”
But even if he said that, he still cared about what Fengzhu said, and while disgusted, he also raised his hand to sniff left and right, and whispered to himself: "What's the strange smell." ”
"There really is." Fengzhu closed his eyes and sniffed the smell wafting through the air, "This smell is full of darkness, cruelty, and evil. It smells really depressing. ”
"Darkness? Atrocious? Evil? Is that a taste? The little dragon lion roared violently at Fengzhu, but after roaring, the figure of the man in red suddenly appeared in his mind.
Dark? Atrocious? Evil? Aren't these breaths exactly what the man in red gave him?
Thinking of this, Xiaolong Lion's heart tightened inexplicably, shrank behind Xiao Ye, and looked at Fengzhu vigilantly. That guy, how could he smell the breath of the man in red from his body. Don't...... Could it be related to the light that the man in red threw on him?
The spiritual power of his return was all with the help of the power of the man in red.
"It's such a murderous breath, full of blood." Fengzhu slowly opened his eyes and stared at the little dragon lion.
Seeing it like this by Fengzhu, Xiaolongshi was tense: "Nonsense." After speaking, the little dragon lion said to Xiao Ye that he would go back to the space first.
"Little Dragon Lion, there are other people in the space." Xiao Ye left Xuanyuan in the space.
"I know, I'll take care of it." The little dragon lion nodded at Xiao Ye with a smile, and after recovering his spiritual power, he felt the breath of a person's presence in the space. But he didn't care, as long as it was Xiao Ye's intention, he wouldn't care.
The little dragon lion stuck out his tongue at Fengzhu, made a grimace, and then slipped back into his personal space.
The little dragon and lion ran away, leaving Xiao Ye and Fengzhu there, Fengzhu hugged his chest, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked thoughtful.
Xiao Ye walked to Fengzhu's side and snorted lightly: "Can you smell those strange smells?" ”
"Guess." Fengzhu replied with a smile.
Xiao Ye smiled lightly, but she had other thoughts in her heart, for the disappearance of the little dragon and lion in the past few days, she didn't feel that it was really like what the little dragon and lion said, playing around. That guy must have experienced something to cover it up in that simple way!
Or, it's just a good face.
Gee!
"Someone is coming, probably because of trouble, Miss Xiao is ready?" Fengzhu said suddenly.
It wasn't until Feng Zhu said this that Xiao Ye's divine sense sensed the sound of footsteps in the row walking towards this courtyard, the footsteps of the people who came were neat, and the cultivation was not high, it seemed that they were more like the guards in the palace.
"What should come will always come." Xiao Ye said indifferently.
From the day she entered the palace, she had officially entered the power struggle in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, whether she wanted to or not, she had to accept the battles and dangers that could come at any time.
Now that she has just recovered some Xuan Qi, it is a critical time, and she should pave the way for her future promotion and cultivation, so she must be cautious and cautious.
After a while, the group came to the side courtyard, and sure enough, as Xiao Ye guessed, they were the ordinary guards in the palace. And among this group of guards, the one who walked at the forefront was obviously one level higher. A group of people walked into the courtyard, looked at Xiao Ye in the courtyard, and saluted Xiao Ye with a fist. The man said: "The queen of the country Qingyu Xuan set up a banquet. The crown prince and General Xiao were both at the banquet, and the prince specially sent a small one to invite Wu Yueji to dress up to go to the banquet. ”
"Wu Yueji?" Xiao Ye frowned slightly when he heard this title.
Fengzhu leaned over and whispered: "The prince wants to keep you in this palace, naturally you need a reasonable reason, since you don't want to be the crown princess, he will make you a Wuyue Ji, known as your sword dance stunning the world, specially named you are the first martial artist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with martial arts as the dance, exclusively for the prince to offer martial arts and enjoyment." Several sides of the two products. ”
The corners of Xiao Ye's mouth twitched slightly, this Yunya really knew how to think. Do you really think she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? But that guy still has a bit of a brain, and named her Wu Yueji, not a dancing girl. The ability to dance guns and swords, she is really good.
It's just that what does this prince mean when he suddenly asked her to go to that banquet?
There is also the queen of the country, and his father Xiao Zhan is also there. Presumably the evil Lang Yu is also there. It is also said that she has been in the palace for so many days, except for yesterday when Lang Yu secretly sent Yan Luo Liublind to arrest her, she has not seen Lang Yu himself, at least not after that country.
"The prince arranged this way, presumably planning to officially have a showdown with the queen faction and demonstrate against each other." Fengzhu whispered.
Xiao Ye thought about it, and also felt that Fengzhu's words were reasonable. It is not a matter of a day or two to oppose the queen of the country, and Duan Yunya has always been in a passive state, and now that she is in hand, it is indeed a good time to demonstrate. After all, she was a pawn of the Kunashir faction at the beginning.
"How's that, will you be afraid?" Fengzhu laughed jokingly.
"Guess." Xiao Ye raised his eyebrows.
Fengzhu pursed his lips, he really asked in vain, although he had already known the result.
"I'll go right away." After Xiao Ye sent the guards who came to the report left, he asked Fengzhu to prepare, and he also went back to the room to make some preparations.
Tsk, the first time I met someone who wanted to use him as an opponent, of course, I couldn't lose the momentum. Dress up, you have to dress up.
Qingyuxuan.
In today's Eastern Jin Dynasty Palace, since the monarch fell ill, there have been few such grand gatherings. And such a gathering is more like a formal stage play in the power struggle of the forces. The queen of the kingdom sat on a high throne, and the crown prince sat on the side throne, and in the halls on either side of them, they were all seated in the middle of the high power of their respective factions.
The faction of the queen of the country naturally takes Lang Xi as the position, followed by Xiao Zhan, the first general. The rest are all high-ranking officials who are now guarding important positions in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The latter is the seat of the four major families. Of course, the pharmacist has been wiped out by Lang Yu at the beginning, and he will not appear here again, so there are only He Wencai, a big salt merchant, and Mo Ziyu, a family of weapons.
Even people in positions like the four major families were brought to this banquet, which shows how important today's battle is.
Looking at Prince Duan Yunya's side again, the people standing on the side seem much weaker. The one in the seat is the old Wenchen Su Lu, and the people sitting in the back row are also some gray-headed and elderly old courtiers. In terms of this battle, Duan Yunya really lost miserably, and it is no wonder that he will be overwhelmed by the queen of the country.
When Xiao Ye went to Qingyuxuan, the atmosphere inside was strange, like the calm before a storm, and even the sound of a needle falling on the ground seemed to be audible.
Xiao Ye is dressed in white clothes, without any embellishment, the clothes are fluttering, the corners of the skirt are flying, like a white lotus in the mud, out of the mud without staining, it is even more brilliant in this palace, and the brocade clothes next to it look elegant and refined under the strong contrast.
Delicate and upright delicate face, no powder, but already has a city of national color, skin like condensation, eyebrows like a crescent moon, teeth like shellfish, a pair of phoenix eyes revealed more shrewd, vivid and clear.
Such a beautiful woman, everyone here sighed secretly.
It's just that the rumored Wu Le Ji is the youngest daughter of the first general Xiao Zhan, the rumored waste. Seeing it now, it was not only unexpected to them, but also amazed everyone present.
Even He Wencai and Mo Ziyu, who had seen Xiao Ye in the four families, couldn't help but be secretly shocked when they saw Xiao Ye again, but the light revealed by those eyes had not changed in their memories.
Xiao Zhan, as Xiao Ye's father, was also surprised at the moment before his daughter walked into the hall. has been under the same roof as Xiao Ye for more than ten years, and he has never seen Xiao Ye so amazing, and he even seems to see the figure that once made him crazy - Yan Ji on Xiao Ye's body.
Duan Yunya didn't need to say anything, and his breathing couldn't help but tighten. This woman is the person he went from disgusting to appreciating at the beginning, and then to being addicted to now. And what he is even more fascinated by is her unfazed, always indifferent, but domineering appearance.
Just like now, in the face of so many powerful people gathered here, but there is no trace of timidity on her face, her gait is light and steady, her face is smiling, and her temperament is noble. And in that look, it was as if he could see everything, and he was in control of the overall situation.
How can such a woman not be loved?
Xiao Ye slowly entered Qingyu Xuan, and had already seen all the situations here in a clear way. And when she saw the person sitting next to the crown prince Duan Yunya, her eyes still involuntarily pressed slightly, and the murderous aura disappeared.
Beside Duan Yunya, there was a familiar figure sitting impressively, and this figure was Zhong Liyan, who was killed by Xiao Ye on the spot in the underground palace last night.
Didn't die?
Xiao Ye's eyes stayed on Zhong Liyan's body for a while, today's Zhong Liyan is no longer as peculiar as usual, and when he changes into a costume, he is already like a nobleman in the palace. Zhongli Yan sat there, quiet as water.
The corners of Xiao Ye's mouth tugged involuntarily. Withdrew his gaze from Zhong Liyan's body.
No need to look any further, Zhong Liyan was already dead, and from those eyes that looked distracted, she knew that Zhong Liyan had not escaped the fate of Yan Luo's six blindness, and had turned into a worm corpse. And unlike Yan Luo's six blindness, Zhongli Yan is obviously much more advanced. At least it doesn't look so stiff that it just looks like a corpse.
"Wu Yueji has seen the queen of the country, His Royal Highness the Prince." Xiao Ye went to the queen of the country under the main hall and Duan Yunya to pay homage. If you want to take the next step, you must follow the rules. Xiao Ye knows this. And from what she could see just now, the middle-aged woman sitting on the top of the hall was not very human. Those seemingly lazy but shrewd eyes all the time. All of them reveal a touch of superiority.
It seems that the queen of the country can carry the current Eastern Jin Dynasty's powerful people, and it is not in vain to rely on others.
