"What for?" The person behind him asked coldly, and the knife in his hand reached forward.

Chu Jiuyu was shocked, he didn't even notice that someone else was approaching just now, and he barely reacted until the knife reached his neck.

It seems that this person's cultivation is not low!

"Big ...... Adult, don't kill me, the small, the small one is a food delivery person. Chu Jiuyu pretended to be afraid, his body trembled, and even his words were crying.

"The ...... who delivers the food" The person behind him was puzzled and said slowly, "Don't the people who deliver the food know that this place is a forbidden place?"

"My lord, isn't this the emperor's birthday, there is a shortage of manpower, the small one has just arrived, some of the rules are not clear, and I hope that the adults will spare their lives." Chu Jiuyu said aggrievedly, and raised the cage drawer in his hand, which exuded a faint fragrance of vegetables.

The person behind sniffed the food, looked at the sign on the cage drawer, and said, "It's true that the dishes in the imperial dining room are good, where are you going to send the dishes?"

"Lord Qiyu, the small one brought food, and it was sent to the emperor's guard. Chu Jiuyu nodded resignedly and reported in a low voice.

At the same time, he is also slowly turning, trying to find as many opportunities as possible to counterattack.

Now it is really difficult to find an opportunity to leave the enemy's back, and once you say the wrong thing and start fighting, it is very likely that you will be killed by this person with one blow.

"The Emperor's Guard?" The person behind him was breathing tightly, and the knife on Chu Jiuyu's waist went a little deeper inward, "You turn your head." ”

"My lord, don't kill me, I'll turn around, I'll turn ...... right away" Chu Jiuyu pretended to be frightened, and with a strange flick of his right hand, he pulled out the dagger hidden in his cuff and placed it under the cage drawer.

From the slightly trembling voice, he could roughly hear that this person was panicking, and it was very likely that he would attack himself in the next moment.

When Chu Jiuyu turned his head, what he saw was a familiar face.

"Chen Jianhong!"

Chu Jiuyu secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but he didn't expect that someone really wanted to be with him, and sneaked into the palace the night before the emperor's birthday.

Damn, if you don't come early or late, you have to wait for Lao Tzu to come together when he enters the palace, I don't know if I thought it was a group.

Immediately, the silver light flashed in front of him, and Chu Jiuyu used his right foot to move backwards, which was able to dodge Chen Jianhong's knife.

"This skill, it seems that it is really a guard. Chen Jianhong muttered to himself, and with a pout, he pulled out the long sword behind his back and slashed over.

In his opinion, this person must have discovered his identity, and this son can't be kept!

"This fool, I saved your life before and now I'm here to kill me again, don't spoil my son's plan, I don't want to fight you. ”

Seeing Chen Jianhong, who was killing with a sword, Chu Jiuyu was shocked, and he dodged a few swords with the Taigu Nine Spirit Steps.

Bang!

Finding the right opportunity, Chu Jiuyu made a move, and the dagger in his hand stifled Chen Jianhong's long sword, and suddenly, the blood qi in his body exploded, and his wrist was forced, forcing Chen Jianhong back a few steps.

But when Chen Jianhong turned his head and planned to stand again, what he saw was stared at by a pair of evil purple eyes, and he lost his mind for a while.

"Hurry up!" Chu Jiuyu blinked, withdrew his purple eyes, and didn't care about Chen Jianhong, who was stunned in place, turned around and ran.

After a while, Chen Jianhong's fingertips moved slightly, and he took a big breath, only to find that he was unscathed.

"What's the matter, that person clearly recognized me just now, why didn't he kill me?" Chen Jianhong's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that he would still be alive.

"Could it be that he also sneaked into the palace in disguise, just like me, and it is very likely that he still knows me, so he reluctantly let me live. Chen Jianhong secretly guessed in his heart, stood up and loosened his wrist.

"It seems that the palace is not safe tonight, anyway, everything that should be checked is clear, I still leave quickly, so as not to change later. Chen Jianhong pondered, turned into a white shadow and climbed over the wall, and ran towards the market.

......

Inside the Royal Palace

Chu Jiuyu cautiously groped around the wall, and through the withered plants on the road before and what Chen Jianhong said, he could probably be sure that this path was not simple.

As for how it was not simple, perhaps he noticed that the cold wind around him was getting stronger and stronger, and it was even more biting cold than before.

Chu Jiuyu squatted on the tree, hiding behind the thick leaves, which were covered with snow, which coincidentally blocked the sight of the maids who walked around from time to time below.

"It's cold enough here, and if it goes on like this, it's beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. ”

Chu Jiuyu said thoughtfully, looking at the two maids who were talking and laughing under the tree.

The two maids walked forward with their plates, dressed in ordinary warm clothes, and did not seem to be affected by the cold wind.

"It's ......"

Chu Jiuyu squinted his eyes and stared at a white stone on the maid's wrist.

This thing was very strange, and every time the maid took a step forward, the white stone emitted a faint red light.

"That thing is a parsnip, which is very common in the immortal cultivation world, but it is extremely rare in the secular world. Suddenly, he spoke.

"Since it is scarce, how did Zhao Ye get it, and he used it so extravagantly on the maid. Chu Jiuyu was suspicious in his heart.

After staying in the tree for another half an hour, Chu Jiuyu stared down, but his brows were furrowed.

"It shouldn't be, send a dish, why is it so long, it's been an hour, and it hasn't come out yet?" Chu Jiuyu jumped and came down from the tree, his feet covered with a layer of aura, and he stepped on the snow silently.

Seeing that there was no one in the passage, Chu Jiuyu secretly urged the blood qi on his body to resist the invasion of the cold wind in front of him.

After passing through a few empty houses, seeing that there was no one in the house, Chu Jiuyu just swept through it with his divine sense and left quickly.

"Slow, it smells of blood. Yu stopped Chu Jiuyu, who was acting cautiously, and motioned for him to open the wooden door on his right.

Click......

Chu Jiuyu gently pushed open the wooden door.

Behind the wooden door, dozens of corpses were piled up on the ground, and incense was placed in the four corners of this room, and a smell rose to cover the stench of rotting corpses.

"It's the person just now...... Chu Jiuyu recognized the two newcomers on the pile of corpses at a glance, and they were the two maids who walked in the door before.

Unlike other decomposed corpses, these two bodies looked fresh.

"Cover your mouth and nose, this place is not simple, there is a formation under your feet. He shouted violently, and a stream of demonic energy came out of his body, hanging on the beams of the room.

A few unknown runes flashed under his feet, followed by a flash of silver light in the pile of corpses, and several decomposed corpses actually moved a few times.

"The formation of the demon race, how could it appear here, I almost fell into the way. Frightened, he searched the room carefully.

But Chu Jiuyu walked directly to the maid's corpse in two steps, rummaging through it.

"Fish, do you demons like to suck blood?"
