She went to the table and poured tea, sat there and drank it, the cool tea went down, Jielan's mood suddenly improved, and she didn't seem so desperate and pessimistic about tomorrow, she was about to go back to rest, but suddenly saw a figure on the window lattice.

Jielan felt particularly frightened, she turned her head sideways and saw a white figure by the window lattice, the man was wearing white clothes, and his head was also wrapped in a white turban, and the moonlight was shining on his face, looking like a ghost. Jielan and Sadness saw this person coldly, naturally startled, after she calmed down, she immediately shouted: "Who? ”

The figure heard Jielan's question, and immediately dodged away and fled, Jielan didn't know why this person was watching her, and what was his purpose? She hurriedly opened the door of the temple and chased in the direction where the figure had fled.

However, what made Jielan care was that there were usually guards outside the door of this hall, but at this time, there was no one in the Jiaolan Palace, and those guards were nowhere to be found, and Jielan didn't care about anything else, so she had to chase after her.

The speed of the white figure is also extremely fast, Jielan chased for a long time before barely catching up, because this person picked a remote place to escape, so along the way did not bump into the patrolling guards and palace eunuchs, etc., chased to the back, to a palace, the palace here is different from other places, it seems unexpectedly cold and gloomy, the fallen leaves in front of the palace have accumulated a lot, and the trees in the courtyard have withered, as if this is an idle place, as for why it is idle Jielan is not clear.

She only hoped to find this person who was watching her, but the person really fled here like a ghost and disappeared, Jielan was extremely puzzled, thinking who would come to spy on her in the middle of the night, could it be someone sent by the princess? It seems that she has a lingering grudge and knows that she will get married tomorrow, so she sent someone to assassinate her.

Jielan thought about it, and only this reason made sense, so since she roughly guessed the other party's intentions, it was dangerous for her to stay here, so it was better to go back, but just as she was about to leave, she heard a sad cry from the palace, the voice was low and desolate, and it sounded even more terrifying in this gloomy and dilapidated environment.

Although she has faced countless demons, there is still such a place in this lively and heavily guarded city, and there is a cry similar to that of a woman in the house, which makes Jielan feel not afraid, but although she is afraid, Jielan is still extremely curious, and her steps back are moved back. She clenched her fists, exhaled deeply, and walked towards the temple.

When she walked to the front of the temple door, the voice became clearer, and it sounded as if someone was calling for help. She hurriedly pushed the door in, and suddenly saw that the layout in this palace was crude, maybe there were no people, and many places had already laid cobwebs, Jielan walked in carefully with her heart.

When he came to the back of the temple gate, he saw a couch with a thin quilt on it, but it seemed that no one had slept on it for a long time, and there was a small wooden table in front of the bed, and the cups and bowls on the wooden table were all worn, and the food in it was not moldy, and some of them were even dried cakes.

This room doesn't look like a human life at all, but to Jielan's surprise, on the wall on the left side of the bed, there are two copper chains passing through the wall, and under the chains is a green-haired woman, but what makes people worry is that the chains actually pass through the bones of the green-haired woman's hands and wrists, which is equivalent to controlling the other party's spiritual power, making it impossible for the other party to use their strength to escape from this house.

The green-haired woman's clothes were tattered and dirty, because she had not bathed for many years, and her body smelled of foul odor, and she did not seem to be human, because she had a pair of furry ears on the top of her head, and her eyes were also green pupils, it seemed that she belonged to the category of half-demons like Qi Xue.

When the woman saw Jielan, she suddenly seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly said: "Save me, save me, save me!" Because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse.

"You are?" There was such a half-demon imprisoned in this city, and she was treated so cruelly, Jielan really couldn't think of why she treated such a half-demon like this.

"Help me, save me!" That's all she said, it seems that she has been tortured for a long time, and now she is on the verge of collapse.

"You need to tell me who you are? Why are you locked here? Who locked you up? Seeing that her eyes were full of fear, Jielan hurriedly held her hands and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, you just need to calm down and tell me." ”

"Help... Save Qingjun, save him, save him. She trembled as she spoke.

"Qingjun?" Jielan suddenly became nervous, "Are you talking about that Qingjun of the Blue Devil?" ”

The woman nodded.

Jielan was even more shocked, "So you are Qingjun's demon servant?" Jielan looked at her appearance, and saw that she was a half-demon, so she thought that she should be the acolyte of the Blue Devil.

The woman nodded again.

Jielan was stunned for a moment, since she was Qingjun's demon servant, why was she locked here? Why did she torture her like this, Jielan asked, "Tell me what happened, okay?" You told me I could help you, you know? ”

"They... They wanted to usurp Qingjun's power, but Qingjun didn't want to, so they forced him, and now... Now Qingjun is on the verge of collapse, if he doesn't save him, he will fall into the devil's path and never turn back. The woman began to weep as she spoke.

"What? Falling into the devil's way? How could this be? Jielan didn't expect this to be the case, she knew that if Qingjun fell into the Demon Dao, then the power of resurrection he possessed would become the power of destruction, not to mention saving Chengfeng, I am afraid that this Qing Zhou City would be implicated because of this.

"It's their fault, it's their fault, they're like robbers, no, it's worse than robbers, they imprisoned Qingjun's mother, and relied on this to coerce him to prolong the life of these people, so hateful, so hateful, they are all a bunch of damned people." The woman scolded, resentment already making her a little confused.

Jielan couldn't help but be moved, and said, "Who are they talking about?" ”

The woman suddenly curled up, as if frightened again, "That man, that man, so scary, so scary. ”

"Tell me who it is?" Although Jielan roughly knew the answer, she still wanted to hear her say it with her own ears.

"The person with the city crown, it's him, it's he who caused Qingjun so badly, it's he, such a terrible man, he has to drink Qingjun's blood every day, I want to kill him and save Qingjun." The woman kept muttering, her eyes full of hatred in fear.

Jielan's hands shook suddenly, she stood up, looking at this imprisoned woman, as if she had been struck by lightning, so that she couldn't calm down for a long time, she knew that what this woman was talking about was Yu Qing, the city lord of Qing Zhou City, but how could it be him? He seems to be kind and obedient, generous, fair, and caring for the people.

What's more, this person is the person he wants to marry tomorrow, is it that he wants to marry such a person who is kind on the outside but treacherous on the inside?

So is his so-called true affection for himself just a disguise? Because he just wants to gain the power of his blue devil, and vainly claims to swear to himself, are these just lies he made up.

Jielan had never been so fooled as she was now, she looked at the green-haired woman and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Mingqi!" The woman in green replied slowly.

Jielan squatted down, summoned the moon blade, and was about to use spiritual power to cut off the copper chain to rescue her, but she heard shouts from outside the hall, and those people shouted Jielan's name, obviously those guards found out that she was missing and came to look for her.

Jielan wanted to let her go at this time, I was afraid that she would be discovered by these guards soon, and then not only would she be suspicious of Yu Qing, but she would also be more likely to affect this woman, she hurriedly said: "Don't do it when you stay here, let alone tell outsiders that I have been here, do you know?" I'll come and get you out in a few days, and you have to be careful. She stood up and walked out of the hall, and when the woman in green saw that she was leaving, she hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, who are you?" ”

Jielan turned her head, looked at the sad woman, and said, "I am connected to your acolyte, I am the Blue Devil Jielan." ”

Mingqi was so surprised that she couldn't speak, she just looked at the woman with long royal blue hair, as if she saw a glimmer of hope, she smiled at her slightly, this smile was the first time she had shown in four years, for the sake of the Blue Devil's lineage, for the possible vitality, she smiled again.

Jielan looked at this imprisoned woman, and really hoped that she could take her away immediately, but she was actually the same as her, but she was imprisoned in this city court, and she couldn't help herself.

Jielan waited for these guards to leave this hall before she went out, because she was afraid that these guards would see that she was out from here, and then she would inform the city lord of Yuqing, which would naturally arouse his suspicion, and then it would be unfavorable to Mingqi.

When she just returned to the Jiaolan Palace, those palace people were very happy to see her come back, and they were so busy that they came out and asked her where she went, Jielan just lied and said that she went to the garden and walked around, although these palace maids didn't believe it, but since the people had returned, they didn't ask more in order to save their lives, so they had to inform the guards that the people had returned, and those guards went to inform the city lord.

After Yu Qing knew, he was also relieved, he expected that Jielan should be because the wedding was about to be and she was depressed, so she walked around and relaxed, he could still understand this mood, so he didn't pursue it, and only let the guards have to watch it well, and this situation must not occur again, otherwise it will be considered a dereliction of duty.

The guards continued to guard Jielan, and they didn't dare to be negligent until the wedding was completed, and they didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Jielan couldn't calm down all night, and the question that kept lingering in her mind was, what kind of person is this Yuqing City Lord? Is he really as Ming Qi said, in order to increase his strength and extend his life, he drinks the blood of the Blue Devil every night? In order to monopolize the power of the Blue Devil and make him obey him, he did something against his wishes for him, so that the Blue Devil was forced to lose his true nature, and the demonic blood in his body was forced out, causing him to fall into the Demon Path. If this is the case, then this Yuqing City Lord is too cruel and terrifying.

Is it that he wants to marry such a cruel, unkind, selfish, and hypocritical person?

Jielan really wanted to rush out now to confront the city lord in person, but it was useless to do so except to sacrifice herself and Chengfeng Longyi in vain, whether it was true or false, she was already a string on the arrow now, and she couldn't take it back.

Jielan didn't sleep all night, and when the palace people came to dress him up early in the morning of the next day, the palace people saw that her eyes were dark and her complexion was haggard, so they knew that she had not rested.
