1. Escape from Ice Wolf Castle Chapter 19 Breaking into the Palace
Dressed in an ice-decorated official uniform and holding the Frost Scepter, Dayelsen angrily rushed into the Black Snow Dormitory. He was followed by the garrison officer Terkochen and two hundred heavily armed ice wolf guards.
The door of the dormitory was shaken open by Daurson's soul magic, and the ice wolf guards poured into the dormitory in a hula. I saw a mutilated skeleton standing in the middle of the room, several women were sitting around the ground, and Hei Ningxue was holding a thigh bone and pretending to look at these people in dismay.
"Demon Demon Girl, dare to study forbidden arts in Ice Wolf Castle!" Daulson said to the garrison with a slight hint of concern, "General Tekochen, lock this witch up. ”
General Tekoxing was about to draw his sword and give an order, but he saw Hei Ningxue's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Years of experience as an official told him that there must be something strange here.
He pressed his sword, stepped forward and saluted, "In the Lower Ice Wolf Castle Garrison Commander Tekoxing, he is now under the order of Lord Daurson to arrest the 'Divine Aid Witch' Hei Ningxue, please forgive me if I offend." ”
"Is this valiant general Lord Tekochen?" Hei Ningxue lifted her skirt with one hand and saluted elegantly, "The concubine has already heard General Linda mention your prestige, and I have the honor to visit you today." I don't know what kind of felony the concubine has committed, and she needs to come in person by General Lao? ”
Daurson Scepter paused and laughed, "Black Condensation, what else do you want to deny?" Everyone here sees you performing a forbidden ritual with human bones! Studying forbidden spells privately is a capital offense in the six empires! ”
Hei Ning Xue smiled, and handed the thigh bone in his hand to Tekoxing with both hands: "General Tekoxing has made great achievements, he must have seen dead people." Why don't you ask the general to guess what kind of human bone this is? ”
Te Kexing was puzzled, took the bone and knocked it, sniffed it, and suddenly showed a happy look.
The instinct of being an official for many years once again saved him from the abyss from which he could never recover.
He respectfully returned the thigh bone with both hands and said loudly, "From what General Ben can see, this is not a human bone. ”
"How is that possible?!" Dawson's eyes widened as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts.
Hei Ningxue smiled lightly: "Thank you General for justifying the concubine's body, this is just a bone toy made of wooden sticks." The concubine body is just teaching these girls some games between the girls of the demon world, and passing the boring leisure time. ”
Dawson finally realized that the credit that Lady Feather Spirit thought was nine out of ten was actually a trap that Hei Ningxue had already arranged.
Hei Ningxue asked the girls to withdraw the bone toys, and ordered Glista to give the two of them a tea seat: "Mr. Daurson don't care, it's just a misunderstanding." There are just two things that the concubine doesn't quite understand. ”
Daurson is like sitting on pins and needles, how can he be in the mood to drink tea.
"First, how did Mr. Daurson know that human bones can study forbidden soul arts?"
Beads of sweat were already oozing from Daurson's forehead.
"Second, how did Mr. Daurson know that the concubines and the maids were playing this bone game?"
Beads of sweat from Dawson's face were already dripping down his beard.
In a panic, he glanced at Tekoxing. But Tekoxing didn't want to wade into this troubled water with him, so he bowed and saluted: "Since it's just a misunderstanding." There are still important matters of city defense below, please allow me to retire first. ”
Just as he was about to lead the team away, General Linda "coincidentally" led someone to escort a maid to the door of the dormitory.
"General Tekochen? Lord Daurson? Linda looked surprised by their visit.
Tekoxing frowned at Linda's battle, and had to ask because of the identity of the garrison officer, "General Linda, what's going on?" ”
"Report to the Garrison, we found this man in the castle using a soul trap bird to send a secret message." Linda saluted, "I was incompetent, and although I caught her, I let the bird go." After investigation, it was learned that she was the princess's maid and came to inquire. ”
How can there be such a coincidence?
Tekochen had long heard that Linda had secretly pledged allegiance to Hei Ningxue, and this was probably just another trap they had carefully set.
The maid ushered in the door and looked at Daulson with begging eyes. Dawson glared at her, and the maid quickly lowered her head.
"I'm really sorry, although she is a maid here, the concubine is not familiar with her." Hei Ningxue's gaze flickered towards Daulson and Tekosing, "Why don't you leave it to your lords?" ”
Dawson's tongue was like a knot, and he couldn't say anything at the moment.
This maid is one of the dark piles he arranged next to Hei Ningxue, and the information that Hei Ningxue is studying forbidden techniques is what she secretly released. But at this time, in front of Tekoxing and Linda, not only could he not protect this maid, but he was even very likely to be confessed by her!
While Daurson was in a dilemma, Tekchen had already figured out a way out.
After Linda entered the game, he realized that no matter whether he expressed his position today or not, Daurson's and Feather Ling's retreat were blocked by Linda's move. Instead of offending Hei Ningxue for no reason, it is better to say what she wants to hear according to the future princess's heart.
Attention has been decided, Tek Xing bowed and saluted: "Your Royal Highness, since this woman doesn't want to speak, you might as well try the steel whip." ”
This "Her Royal Highness the Princess" made Hei Ningxue's eyes shine with excitement.
She thought that Tekoxing would hesitate a little longer, but she didn't expect him to recognize the situation quickly.
At the sound of an order, the ice wolf guards immediately tied up the maid. The steel whip swung in the air with a terrifying "whoosh" sound.
Those soldiers must have been much more powerful than a maid like Glista. With just one whip, the maid's screams were already buzzing with the floor-to-ceiling windows.
After fifteen lashes, she was so painful that she couldn't scream.
After only thirty lashes, she had fainted.
This situation was beyond Hei Ningxue's expectations, and when he was about to call someone to get cold water to wake up this person, Daulson suddenly stepped forward with a fierce look in his eyes: "You dare to pretend to be dead in front of us, don't you want to taste the power of the old man's 'Thunder Whip'?" ”
As he spoke, the intense lightning light on his scepter rang out, and a powerful electric current instantly penetrated the maid's body.
"Say it! Who sent you? Dawerson asked aloud.
The maid's whole body twitched uncontrollably, and she kept foaming at the mouth and nose! After convulsing for a while, her body suddenly collapsed to the ground, breathless.
Seeing her dying appearance, Daurson pretended to be sorry and saluted Hei Ningxue: "I didn't expect her to be weak and unable to withstand the whip of the old man, please atone for your sins." The old man still has important things to do, and he can retire first. ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Hei Ningxue to react, Gu Zi took his staff and left.
Te Kexing naturally couldn't see anyone more "slippery" than him, and as soon as he saw Daurson gone, he immediately led the team to bow down and leave. When the door opened and closed, the room instantly returned to emptiness.
Glista stepped forward and probed the maid's snort, "Your Highness, Princess, she's dead." ”
Black Snow was dumbfounded.
She thinks that she is a person who can do anything to achieve her goals, but she can't imagine that the seemingly loyal Dawson has such a ruthless heart, and can kill her own secret stake so decisively. That casual look seemed to have just crushed an ant.
Could this be the real palace struggle? Everyone's fate can be changed at any time, and no one knows who will be sent to hell in the next moment.
"Princess...... Her Royal Highness? Glista looked at the black snow that was stunned and her face turned pale, and couldn't help but scream twice.
Hei Ningxue came back to her senses, "What's wrong?" “
Glista said, "Your Highness, are you alright?" Should I ask a doctor to take a look? “
Hei Ningxue shook her hand, indicating that she was out of the way. She stood there for a moment, let out a long sigh of relief, and muttered, "I'm sorry, the concubine just wants to live." ”
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief from her bosom and covered the maid's miserable face.
"Your Royal Highness, what should we do now?"
Hei Ningxue said calmly, "Glista, go and call all the maids sent to me." ”
Glista walked quickly through the castle with a bell, and a dozen or so maids hurried behind her. In just a quarter of an hour, they were already standing in a room with their heads bowed on either side. In the center of the room, the body was still lying.
"I don't want you to see what happened to the traitor." Hei Ningxue was originally dressed in a black veil, and at the moment it looked more like attending a funeral, "Although this girl is a secret stake sent by someone to monitor, she is still everyone's sister in the final analysis, and she can't disappear from this world quietly." The concubine summoned everyone over to say goodbye to her. ”
Although Hei Ningxue is picky about her life on weekdays, she treats people very generously. Although most of them have been scolded by her, many people still have a good impression of her. Seeing that she attached so much importance to the death of a maid, and then thought of the inexplicable disappearance of the person in Madame Yuling's bedroom, several maids couldn't help but sob.
"Someone should want to know, how did she die?" Black Snow motioned for Glista to lift the corpse's clothes, revealing mottled scars.
Everyone could see that this was not the work of Hei Ningxue, who was proficient and good at flame soul arts.
"Daurson......" Glista had just mentioned a name, but was stopped by Hei Ningxue with a look.
"The concubine doesn't want to target anyone." Hei Ningxue said lightly, "You also know that this is a troubled time, whether it is a powerful person or a slave, no one knows what will happen tomorrow." In order to survive, many people will do incredible things. ”
"Please understand one thing: you must live, and the concubine must also live. There are many ways to survive, but if you want to use this thing as a condition...... "Kuroyuki picked up her feather fan and pointed at her head, "Then you have to be careful of the rumored 'sinister and cunning god to help the shrine maiden'." ”
The maids bowed their heads and did not dare to say a word.
Hei Ningxue looked around at the maids, "The concubine knows that there are still people in this room who have two hearts. The concubine will give you three more days to consider: if you are willing to be allegiant, you can stay, and if you have concerns, you can leave here. The concubine swore in the name of 'God Helping the Shrine Maiden' that she would never force it or pursue the past. ”
As she spoke, she motioned for Glista to send the body out for burial: "But if anyone is lucky in three days' time, you might as well take another look at her fate and think about whether some people really deserve your life." Don't forget, everyone's original intention is to survive in these troubled times. ”
