Chapter 113: Exploring Yong'an Palace at Night
In the middle of the night, the silver-white moonlight sprinkled wantonly on the corridor surrounded by the red wall and imperial tiles, exuding a leisurely clear glow, bright and bright.
At this point, the palace masters and Niangniang almost fell asleep, except for the palace guards who patrolled at night, almost no figure could be found.
The palace was silent, except for the occasional rustling of the cold wind through the dense bamboo forest.
The woman dressed in a night-walking dress followed the civet cat on the palace wall with agility, like two lightning bolts, constantly jumping on the undulating palace, flashing and moving, chic and calm. Like a ghost racing with a civet cat in the night.
Suddenly, the sound of falling tiles remembered:
"Plop!"
The bun who was responsible for leading the way, stumbled, did not step steadily, and almost fell. The woman who lost her eyes quickly grabbed her back and neck, and only then did she save the day, and only a few tiles fell.
Xia Qingyi was so frightened that her face turned pale, but fortunately, she had a black mask and black veil, so she couldn't see that she was panicked at that moment. The woman lay on the palace wall against her pet in her arms, biting her lip and carefully observing the surroundings, until she was sure that the accident just now did not attract the inspection of the palace guards, she sat down again and exhaled.
"Baozi, what's the matter with you? The road is unstable, and I still expect you to show me the way. β
The woman pretended to be angry and complained about her fat cat who could only eat and sleep all day long. But seeing it, it seemed to know that it almost caused a catastrophe, so he rubbed his head against the woman's arm, and tried his best to please him.
"Forget it, fortunately, we haven't been discovered, quickly lead the way, let's get down to business first."
After Xia Qingyi finished speaking, she followed the bun all the way. It took half an hour to pass through the royal garden of Nuoda and the palace where the concubine brewed like a verandah of the water pavilion, and it took half an hour to see the familiar palace plaque, with three words engraved on it.
'Yong'an Palace'.
Xia Qingyi easily walked through the stone formation of the mountain and arrived at the garden. saw that the originally enthusiastic Mangu was dying on the stone pillar of the pavilion. His limbs were shackled with black iron, and he had a large lock around his neck, and the heavy iron chains were reinforced by a few boulders at the end.
The woman's heart was filled with distress, and then she adjusted her gaze to the mottled scars and blood stains on the huge torso, all of which complained about the cruel persecution she had suffered during the time she had left.
"Manggu, Manggu, wake up! I am back!!! β
The woman approached its ear and called softly, the sound of breathing that was almost invisible between the chapped lips and the slightly undulating chest made Xia Qingyi's eyes swell with a mistγγγγγγ
Fortunately, there is still a trace of breath, and it can be saved!
The woman pressed down on the pain of losing her loved ones and looked at the civet beside her as if asking for help.
"Bun, think of a way to wake it up."
The little one, who had been ordered by his master, jumped easily to Mangu's shoulder, and then licked his face back and forth with his wet tongue.
Seeing the saliva on the face of the unconscious Mang Gu, Xia Qingyi frowned in disgust.
"Baozi, you can't do anything else? Why hasn't it woken up yet??? β
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the eyes that were originally closed trembled slightly, and the fingers seemed to be stretching out as if they were nothing.
There's a play, wake up!!
The woman excitedly picked up one of Manggu's giant palms and rubbed it gently, staring intently at the injured person who woke up in Youyou.
"It's me, Manggu, I'm back, you open your eyes and look at me!"
The two dark pupils under the fluttering eyelashes finally had a focal length, and after seeing the person in front of them clearly, a glimmer of light flashed in the dim eyes of the reckless and ancient.
"Lordγγγγγγ Host... Man, you ... Return... Come... Pull! Manggu, Manggu, it hurts! β
"Mang Gu suffered, it's the master's fault, it's me who is not good!"
The woman who has always been resolute couldn't hold back anymore, and tears came out of her eyesγγγγγγ
"No... Cry. No... Cry! Manggu, it doesn't hurt anymore. β
When I saw the woman's tears, I was at a loss.
"Really... Target! Manggu... It doesn't hurt at all! β
As if to confirm what he said, he was obviously an orangutan who was injured and forcibly pulled an arc from the corner of his mouth, but the trembling lips made the woman even more distressed.
It's her who is not good, she should bring Manggu with her. In this way, she is sheltered no matter what, and if anyone wants to be unfavorable to it, they must pass their own level first.
Instead of being tortured like now, and going for most of his life!
I really can't imagine if I come back a few days later, I will be able to see the living Manggu.
Why is it so vicious, treating an innocent and simple orangutan like this?
Xia Qingyi went from heartache to remorse and anger.
"Manggu, who hurt you? Why did she lock you up? β
The woman wiped the sparkle from the corners of her eyes and asked through gritted teeth.
"Bad ... Woman... Person! To be reckless... Listen... Speech...! Manggu... No... Listen! β
"She... Whip... Child... Beat... Manggu. Not... Yes... Rice... Eat! β
Mang Gu was intermittent, stammering and piecing together the reasons for the difficulties he had suffered in the past few days, although the expression was not smooth, Xia Qingyi also understood a rough idea from the words!
"Manggu, the woman who beat you is very imaginary to me? How can you tell if the person is not mine? β
Hearing this, the gorilla nodded in a daze, and then a look of contempt leaked from his face.
"She, no... Yes... Host... The fragrance of people... Fragrant. is bad ... Person! β
Sure enough, even if you change your voice and change your voice, even if you imitate it vividly, the unique smell of people can't hide it. Smell has always been used as a criterion for identification of animals.
Therefore, even if this woman can deceive the world, she alone cannot summon Manggu, because her tricks cannot hide the orangutan with a keen sense of smell.
"Manggu is great! Don't be afraid, I'll get you out now. β
The woman gave the orangutan a thumbs up, not stingy with her appreciation. Just encouraged Wan Mangu, who had just touched the handcuffs on his wrist and wanted to study how to open them. saw that Mang Gu's face was full of panic.
"Don't, master!!"
At the same time, the sound of the mechanism opening rang out!
Not good! There is an ambush!!
A trace of panic crossed Xia Qingyi's eyes, but she calmed down very quickly, and she turned her head to make a color to the bun beside her.
"Baozi, you withdraw first!"
There is no serious bun on weekdays, but at the moment, he is holding Xia Qingyi's clothes, looking determined to want to live and die together.
"Obedient! Baozi, believe me, I can handle it, if I am not defeated, you can just find a rescue for me, go quickly!! β
The woman knew that Baozi didn't want to leave her and run for her life alone, so she made up a reason to break it up.
Sure enough, as soon as Baozi left, he heard a woman's crisp and familiar voice.
"When I finally came, I knew that as long as this little beast was in my hands, you would find it!!"
In the inner sanctum, a woman slowly walked in a purple long-sleeved squirming jacket, a silver-white embroidered half-arm snow jacket, a snow-green and gold-edged belt tied around her waist, which was densely embellished with crystals, and a pleated skirt of purple roses, decorated with small and round rose spars and tiger clear stones, and broken beads and tassels like starlight.
This outfit is the same as my own preferences in the past!!!
Xia Qingyi looked at the completely reproduced woman in front of her with excitement, the last time we met, she couldn't face it because she lowered her head, so she couldn't see it really. Today, I have this opportunity to take a closer look, and I can't help but sigh for a while.
What a good woman!!
"Why, since you have come here, but you don't answer, what's the reason?"
Seeing Xia Qingyi stunned and looking at herself, the 'false saint' didn't reply, she was a little annoyed in her heart, she lifted her breath and jumped over.
In the blink of an eye, it was only a few feet away.
Xia Qingyi lowered her throat and spoke calmly.
"What misunderstanding does the noble person have, the folk girl doesn't know the nobleman, and she has never offended the nobleman, so why be aggressive??"
The woman's eyes, exposed beyond the veil of maskedness, turned around with agility, suggesting that there were dense mechanisms around her.
"Oh? If you don't know it, what do you have to do with this little monkey, that you have to sacrifice your life to save you??? β
The 'false saint' continued to question the woman unrelentingly.
"Misunderstanding, all said misunderstanding, the folk girl just passed by, and when she saw that this little beast was so huge, she was very curious, so she teased a !! or two."
Xia Qingyi had already thought about it, anyway, she was masked, and the other party had no evidence, so she just talked nonsense and didn't admit it!!
"Tease? My mechanism is set on top of that shackle, if you don't have the heart to let this little beast go, how can you open it??? β
doesn't eat women at all, the 'false saint' is almost sure that the person in front of her is Xia Qingyi, but it's just one step away.
Lift her veil and leave her speechless.
"Really, nobleman, the people's girl unintentionally touched that mechanism, it's really a misunderstanding, how can the people's daughter's powerless power move this behemoth."
The woman was a scoundrel with a hippie smile, but she didn't want the other party to have already moved her killing intent.
"Stop quibbling, wait for me to remove your veil and see what else you have to say!"
As he spoke, he lifted his breath and flew up, his fingers drawing strange symbols in the air, and muttering to himself.
"Don't, there's something to say, don't do it!"
Xia Qingyi's mouth was still not serious, but her expression was solemn, because with the woman's mysterious spell, the mechanism that rose from the ground began to move quickly around them as if it had lifeγγγγγγ
"How, your master has taught you the art of Qimen Dunjia, I don't know how you learn, you may break my formation???"
Could it be that this 'false saint' has also learned the Five Elements Bagua Array???
Xia Qingyi secretly marveled in her heart, but she didn't have time to think about it, but she saw a burst of dust rising under the rapidly rotating mechanism.
When I looked closely, countless blood-sucking insects with red tentacles crawled out of the soil!!
Gu worms! She even planted Gu worms in the trap???
Xia Qingyi looked up in disbelief and glared at the woman in front of her, but saw the other party shouting proudly.
"Why, there's not much time left for you, my baby who has been raised for decades is very hungry! Hahahahaha! β
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
