Chapter 214: Phoenix Hidden Guard
Seeing Ling Qingrui looking at him with some doubts, Ling Xiao smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "This is what I found from him." ”
I saw a small token in Ling Xiao's hand, jet black color, but I couldn't tell what it was made of.
Ling Qingrui stretched out her hand to take it, but after looking at it, she couldn't see anything, Ling Xiao reached out and held Ling Qingrui's finger, Ling Qingrui wanted to withdraw her finger, but heard Ling Xiao say, "Look at it this way." ”
Following Ling Xiao's guidance, Ling Qingrui stared at it, and under the reflection of the sun, she saw a shadow reflected on the ground, and she could vaguely see that it was a bird that looked like a bird.
Ling Qingrui nodded, put down the token, and looked at the person who was thrown on the ground by Ling Xiao, who was pointed at the acupoint, unable to move, but his eyes were spinning around with bones, blinking eagerly, as if he wanted to say something.
Ling Xiao waved his sleeves and brushed his fingers over the man's acupoints, and the man immediately said, "The two of you have misunderstood, and they are not together." ”
"Well, really?"
Ling Xiao casually walked around him, but the man shrank back in great fear, and he could see that the martial arts that Ling Xiao had displayed in an instant had frightened this person.
"Yes or no, you'll know if you ask." Ling Qingrui also said disapprehantly, took out a pill, and handed it to Chu Xue on the side.
Chu Xue hurriedly came back to her senses, took the pill and stepped forward, and the man immediately shouted, "You can't do this to me!" This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you have gone too far, you ......"
Before the man's words were finished, he found that Chu Xue's footsteps did not go towards him, but at Ling Qingrui's signal, he walked in front of the "corpse" of a man in black who fell to the ground, squatted down and fed the pill in his hand into the mouth of the man in black.
It turned out that the man in black was just hit by Ling Qingrui's poisonous powder, and he was stunned by Xingwen and the others, and as soon as the pill was fed at this time, the man in black woke up, and let out a low moan from his mouth, Chu Xue fed her not an antidote.
Ling Xiao motioned for Xingwen to step forward and interrogate, while Chu Xue took a step back and stood aside with her head down.
Ling Qingrui didn't pay attention to how the interrogation was going on, she just looked at Ling Xiao and said, "You've been busy lately?" ”
Ling Xiao smiled and said: "It's really busy, but I still think about Qingqing in my heart, don't I come to see you, I didn't expect Qingqing to miss me too, we really have a good understanding." ”
Ling Qingrui couldn't help but take a sip, why is this Ling Xiao becoming more and more improper, where is the original cold and arrogant momentum?
At this time, the person Xingwen was interrogating let out a miserable scream, Ling Xiao's sword eyebrows twisted slightly, and his eyes swept over with a cold light, Xingwen's body stiffened, and he immediately did something, and no sound came out, Ling Xiao turned back with satisfaction.
"Last time you asked Starfall to give me the pills, I didn't eat them, when will Qingqing make some more for me, okay? Now, next time I'll use this outfit. ”
Ling Xiao took out a jade gourd-style thing from his arms, and seeing that Ling Qingrui didn't mean to take it, he directly dragged her hand and stuffed the jade gourd into her hand.
Ling Qingrui looked at this jade gourd that was much larger than the ordinary bottle of pills, and suddenly had a feeling of being ridiculous, and couldn't help but glared angrily at this Ling Xiao, who was inch by inch, and said, "Do you think that pill is all over the street?" Where is it so easy to make, not to mention the dragon bone blood heart Zhi ......"
"I know, the dragon bone blood heart mushroom is rare to see, I will prepare medicinal materials for you, you make pills, okay?"
Ling Xiao's words were once again exchanged for Ling Qingrui's sweeping eyes, and she said, "I'm not a pharmacist!" ”
"Well, you're not a pharmacist, you're my secretary." Ling Xiao couldn't help but reach out and play with it, the naughty strand of hair on Ling Qingrui's forehead, but the words he said made Ling Qingrui's cheeks flush instantly.
What is his Qingqing! Ling Qingrui resisted the urge to roll her eyes, she almost looked up to the sky and roared, please return my original cold and arrogant Ling Xiao!
It's just that Ling Qingrui didn't know that Ling Xiao was intimate with her, although she was angry, she was mostly ashamed, not angry, but if other people were like this, I am afraid she would have already drawn her sword against her, Ling Xiao is different from her after all.
Ling Xiao also accepted it when he saw it, seeing that Ling Qingrui seemed to be annoyed and angry, he immediately coughed lightly, turned his head to look at Xingwen, Xingwen seemed to be aware of it, and he didn't know what he did, only to hear the man in black howl miserably, shouting: "He is the leader, we just kill people and don't know anything else, he must know the order he gave him!" ”
The accused man gritted his teeth with hatred, glaring at the man in black, but the man in black shouted with tears in his eyes: "Boss, you save me!" It's what you said is to kill a powerless county lord, there will be no accident, boss, I am old and young, you save me......"
Xingwen stunned the howling man in black with a palm, and then came to the front of the man, squatted down and pinched his throat, and said, "How about it, can you tell me?" ”
The man's eyes flickered, and he said, "I don't know what you're asking me to say." ”
"If you don't say it, then I'll tell you." Ling Xiao paced lightly.
"As soon as the county lord of Anjin went out, you followed, and you couldn't find a good opportunity to do it, so you took advantage of the county lord of Anjin to enter the post house, secretly moved your hands and feet on the carriage, and then changed the coachman, so you found an opportunity to do it, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
The man was stunned when he heard Ling Xiao's words, and thought in amazement in his heart, as if this man had been following them from the beginning and had witnessed everything with his own eyes, but if that was the case, how could he let them do it?
Not to mention the suspicion in that person's heart, Ling Qingrui frowned slightly when she heard this, according to what Ling Xiao said, then these people were not sent by Rong Shengjie, Rong Shengjie's people followed after she came out of the post house.
"Still refusing to say?" Ling Xiao waved his hand, "Xingwen, nullify his martial arts and throw him back to his master." ”
"Yes!" Xingwen responded, not allowing the man to struggle, or say anything more, and slammed his palm on his Qi Sea Acupoint, and the man immediately paused.
Ling Qingrui looked at Ling Xiao and asked, "You can already see who his master is?" ”
Ling Xiao nodded and said: "Originally, it was just a guess, what I said just now was just an inference, although he didn't speak after listening to it, his expression already said everything." ”
As he spoke, Ling Xiao picked up the token he had seen before, turned it slightly, and let it cast the bird-like shadow on the ground, and asked, "Qingqing, what do you see this shadow look like?" ”
"A bird?"
"A phoenix, to be exact."
"Phoenix?" Ling Qingrui muttered, and suddenly woke up: "Empress! ”
Ling Qingrui thought that he was Rong Shengjie's person, and that he was the killer of the Blood Flame Hall who hadn't appeared for a long time, but she didn't think about the queen.
"Queen......" Ling Xiao groaned and said, "Qingqing doesn't have to worry, I believe that after this warning, she won't make another move in a short time, and she doesn't have too many people to use." ”
Although the queen is a country, but there are not many people who really belong to her henchmen, the people she sent this time are the royal guards who protect the queen, known as the Phoenix Hidden Guard, they are only loyal to the emperor and the queen, but it doesn't matter who sits on the queen's throne.
This time, the queen was able to hide from the emperor and send a phoenix hidden guard to intercept and kill Ling Qingrui, which means that she has already controlled the people she sent, but the queen can only control one or two people, at most three or two.
Henchmen are not so easy to cultivate.
At this time, someone rushed over and reported to Ling Xiaoyu: "Pavilion Master, those people before were out of the city, and then their subordinates lost them, please punish the Pavilion Master." ”
Ling Xiao waved, and the man quickly disappeared again.
"Why did Rong Shengjie's people follow you? Although Rong Shengjie is reckless, he is extremely fond of hating people, in fact, with his deep mind, this is not the case. Ling Xiao was a little puzzled.
Ling Qingrui was still thinking about the queen, but when she heard Ling Xiao's words, she came back to her senses and said, "It's not the real Rong Shengjie in the post house now, maybe he's afraid that I'm suspicious." ”
Hearing this, Ling Xiao's expression was stunned, but he didn't ask, he believed that since Ling Qingrui said it, it must be true, did Rong Shengjie have already returned to Lieliang Kingdom, or ......
Although there was something in his heart, Ling Xiao still arranged Ling Qingrui properly, found a carriage to send her back to the house in person, and then watched her enter the gate of the Liu Mansion with his own eyes, and then turned to look at Xingwen.
Xingwen had been out of town before, and he had only returned to the capital in recent days, he knew that Ling Qingrui had been intercepted and killed, and he failed to show up in time, whether it was because of other things or not, it was his dereliction of duty, so he knelt down on one knee without saying a word.
Starfall, who was secretly following, also sighed secretly, these brothers were like Xinglan before, they were contemptuous of Ling Qingrui, but they repeatedly angered the pavilion master because of this, and Starfall didn't want to see another person who was assigned, so he hurriedly appeared to relieve Xingwen and said, "Xingwen, what are you still kneeling here?" Don't follow up with Liufu yet, if Miss Rui has something, see how the pavilion master cleans you up! ”
Xingwen raised his eyes to look at Ling Xiao, who had a calm face but didn't say anything, and at the urging of Starfall, he got up and jumped into the Liufu Mansion, hiding in the shadows to protect Ling Qingrui, but Starfall was swept by Ling Xiao's meaningful eyes.
On the way back to Yusheng Xiaozhu, he met Shen who was leading the maid, and Shen seemed to have just come back from the old lady and happened to see Ling Qingrui.
"I've seen the county lord, the county lord has just come back from outside?"
Ling Qingrui smiled on her lips, thinking in her heart that she thought that the Shen family had become calm, and she didn't want to be so breathless, but she said, "That's right, I don't know what's the matter with Madame?" ”
Shen smiled a little unnaturally: "It's just that I happened to meet here, but when I saw the county lord, I couldn't help but think of Xi'er, and I don't know why Xi'er has been lingering on the sick bed for so long, can the county lord treat Xi'er?" ”
