Ling Xin listened to the old man commanding Wu Qiong, who was driving the horse, and finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart.

"Why did the old-timers go straight out of the city?"

Didn't you just go into the city without stopping?

The old man's expression was solemn, different from the previous carelessness, and he seemed to have hidden worries.

"Decay is based on the traces left by black beans. ”

After speaking, he lifted the curtain and instructed Wu Qiong, who was driving outside, "Hurry up." ”

The carriage was almost speeding out of the city, and at this moment, the twilight was in all directions, and the darkness was slowly eroding the earth.

The further you go, the more you can't see people.

The old man's expression suddenly panicked.

"A little faster. ”

"Could it be that something is going on?"

Ling Xin didn't look right at him.

The old man's eagle-like eyes seemed to penetrate the curtain and looked into the distance.

"Hopefully we can catch up. ”

He muttered to himself.

After a quarter of an hour, the carriage finally stopped, but the destination turned out to be a mass grave outside the city, a place that Ling Xin was no stranger to.

I think it was here that I saw Liu Rumei's unrecognizable corpse with my own eyes.

The pouring rain could not extinguish the hatred and sadness in my heart.

At that time, I seemed to have lost the whole world, but I didn't expect that after just over a year, I came to this place again.

Before the carriage could stop, the old man had already jumped down first, and his galloping body disappeared in front of him, and the accompanying secret guards hurriedly followed.

Wu Qiong helped Ling Xin and hurriedly followed.

The dark forest was littered with corpses.

The summer heat scorched the corpses to pieces, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell.

Suddenly, a shrill voice pierced the silence of the night, nearly tearing everyone's eardrums.

Ling Xin hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from.

On a small hillside under the mass grave, the old man was holding a person there and wailing, and when he got closer, under the light of the torches, the old man's face was resolute, and two lines of old tears were still hanging on the old man's face.

In his arms was a girl, with a delicate face, but her face was pale and her hair was scattered.

The wrists and ankles were frayed and bloodstained.

A black snake on the girl's body was constantly swimming, as if trying to wake up the girl.

Ling Xin let out a long sigh, only to realize that there were two men beside the two.

It's just that it looks like it's already a corpse.

The two men were dressed in ordinary attire.

Wu Qiong squatted down, searched for the two of them, and after touching them for a long time, he shook his head regretfully.

"Check the origins of these two people. ”

The girl in front of her brought her father's treasured long-winged insect to the capital, but she was used by someone with a heart, and now she has ended up with a death.

Originally, Ling Xin wanted to ask the girl who took the long-winged insects, although there was a guess in his heart, but if there was evidence, things would be much easier.

Unexpectedly, all I saw in front of me were a few corpses.

The old man was still crying, and Ling Xin was a little unbearable.

"Old-timers, the deceased are gone, and the living have to continue to live. Let's go back. ”

But the old man's throat came out with an unusual cry, the voice was depressed and sad, and everyone wanted to cry.

"I only got a daughter when I was almost forty years old, and I have been raising it like a baby, and I offended a lot of people in the first half of my life, just to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, so I hid. Who would have thought that she was only a teenager. Actually ahead of me. ”

He muttered to himself, as if he were crying about God's unfairness.

Ling Xin squatted down and patted him on the shoulder.

But then in the dark woods, someone suddenly coughed lowly.

The voice was audible and audible, as if it were in my ears.

Everyone scanned the surroundings, after all, except for these living people, it was also these corpses on the ground.

But no one coughed when they were standing.

It can't be a dead person, and you can cough.

The timid ones have already begun to tremble.

Ling Xin was surprised to find that the girl who was held in the old man's arms moved.

He thought he had seen it wrong, so he quickly rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at it, the girl who had been held in the arms of the old man frowned.

"Senior, your daughter doesn't seem to be dead yet. ”

It was like a thunderclap that exploded in the old man's ears.

He was suspicious and quickly touched his daughter's pulse.

Next, he quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and stuffed it into his daughter's mouth.

After a cup of tea, the girl in his arms opened her eyes, but her face was still pale.

The black snake wrapped around the girl's hand excitedly, and the snake's head was still shaking in front of the girl's eyes, like a pet dog's legs.

"Ruyi, you're going to scare Daddy to death. ”

The old man couldn't hold back in the end.

The girl called Ruyi also threw herself into the old man's arms and cried.

This trip was not in vain.

But this was not the time to ask, Ling Xin took the father and daughter to the carriage, and the old man bandaged the wound on his daughter's wrist in distress.

The black snake was coiled around the girl's lap, and from time to time the snake's head turned around, so that people always had to be careful.

"What's the matter? How did you end up in such a situation? If it weren't for the Marquis of Yasukuni finding Guzhong, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what happened to you. ”

The old man's tone was very stern, obviously very afraid.

Ruyi pouted, "I just want to go out and play for a few days, how do I know that someone wants to kill me." ”

She took out an empty bottle from her bosom, "Fortunately, I brought the unique secret medicine given by my father, otherwise I would have really died in this wilderness at this time." ”

"I don't know who the Ruyi girl gave the winged worm to, and who wants to kill you?"

Ruyi touched her head, as if recalling, and the black snake climbed onto her wrist.

"I gambled in the gambling house, lost all the money on my body, and could only mortgage the long-winged worm, who would have thought that someone would be willing to pay 10,000 gold to buy it, and said that he wanted to do a business with me, I followed him to drink tea and woke up and was tied up. ”

"Where do you remember?"

Ruyi shook his head: "I haven't left that small courtyard since I woke up, and they all covered my head when they took me out." ”

Ling Xin didn't give up: "Then have you ever seen anyone?"

"I've seen a very elegant middle-aged man, and I heard the two people guarding the door call him Xiangye. ”

"It's Ning Xiang, I suspected it was him before, are you willing to follow me into the palace to meet the Queen Mother?"

Ling Xin's heart was extremely excited, it was so easy to find the antidote, and he also held Ning Xiang's handle by the way.

He is a good high-ranking official, if he has to jump around, then don't blame himself for being ruthless.

Thinking that he was full of ambition on the day of the celebration banquet, Ling Xin suddenly wanted to fly into the palace with wings immediately.

When she returned to the eldest princess's mansion again, Han Rui had already woken up, and she was leaning on the bed, and Rouge fed her green vegetable porridge.

"The minister has seen the eldest princess ......"

Ling Xin opened the curtain and came in, covered in dust, and his voice was trembling.
