Chapter 87: Escape

Looking at the head that rolled to his feet, looking at the face full of disbelief, Li Xiuling covered his mouth so that the screams did not come out of his mouth.

But the violent tremor of her arms still showed the fear in her heart.

No matter how smart and skillful she is, she is still a young lady in her early twenties who has always been well protected, and she is not as accustomed to blood and fighting as her close friend Yan Hongxia.

And the owner of the head at her feet was one of the maids she sent out to report the news.

Since a month ago, Li Xiuling had already found that there was something wrong with the person next to him, not only did he not touch him again for a long time, but he also put Erlang Zhao Chen in danger, and used it as bait to lure out Aunt Mei and the people of "Xinguang Temple".

This seems to be nothing on the surface, but it is a very calm and "correct" approach...... But Zhao Chen is the son of her husband Zhao Song, even Aunt Mei has served him for many years, and she just watched her fall into such a situation.

This kind of disregard made Li Xiuling shudder when he thought about it now.

So she deliberately called her good friend Yan Hongxia to investigate this matter, firstly, because her own people could control the situation within a range and avoid bringing bad influence to the Zhao family;

Second, it is also a temptation for her husband.

Zhao Song did not object at that time, but accepted it happily, which made Li Xiuling let go of her suspicions, and even helped her husband say a few kind words in front of Yan Hongxia.

But a series of events that happened after Yan Hongxia left the ice spring made the seeds of doubt in her heart germinate again.

First of all, Zhao Song began to pamper a maid in the family very much, to the point of singing every night, and even his son left the ice spring, without sending it.

In Li Xiuling's impression, his husband has never been so obsessed with that kind of thing, but he is often unable to do it.

What made her even more frightened was that when she was taking care of her father who was injured in the assassination a few days ago, she found that all the cronies around her father had been replaced, and her father himself was also very mentally abnormal.

She wanted to tell her husband about this, but when she was looking for someone to call Zhao Song over, she suddenly found that the people around her husband were also new faces that had only appeared in the past three months...... And those "old men" were either sent to Da Lang and Ji Lang, or they took leave for various reasons......

And more or less inextricably linked to the favored aunt.

After Li Xiuling came to his senses, he carefully recalled what had happened in the two towns and one township in recent months, and was shocked to find an even more terrifying thing:

That is, whether it is the official face or the rivers and lakes in the Chijin area, a group of people have recently changed, so that she wants to find someone for help now, but she doesn't know who to turn to!

Why is such an obvious anomaly so unnoticed? Is it because the people behind the scenes are too secretive, or have the people who noticed the anomaly already cleaned up?

Li Xiuling, who fell into an ice cave, in desperation, activated Yan Hongxia's informant from the Taoist Office who stayed by her side, and asked her to go to Yumen for help with her letter.

In order to confuse the public, she also sent seven or eight maids and maids as cover.

But now, the head of the spy of the Taoist Department has rolled to his feet, and the secret letter has obviously not been sent.

"Li Xiuling, do you think the person you arranged can really leave the ice spring?"

At this time, a coquettish voice came into her ears, Li Xiuling raised her eyes, and saw a woman about fifteen or sixteen years old walking into her room with elegant steps.

The person who came was her husband's recently favored maid Xiangxue.

"You're not Xiangxue." Li Xiuling pretended to look at her calmly for a few times, then shook his head and said.

Xiangxue is one of her wedding maids, Li Xiuling is very familiar with her, although she has the same appearance as the person in front of her, her temperament is very different.

"Of course I'm not ......" Xiangxue laughed weirdly, then reached out and grabbed her face, and immediately tore off a piece of human skin, revealing another beautiful face inside.

Seeing this, Li Xiuling felt a chill in his heart, because the human skin in the other party's hand still had dried blood stains, and it was probably peeled off from the real Xiangxue's face.

As a member of the Li family, although Li Xiuling's cultivation talent is not high, his knowledge will never be low, and he immediately thought of the "disguise" spell of an evil organization, which uses the live skinned dough as the casting material to replace the appearance of the owner of the dough.

"'Demon Fox Transfiguration'...... You are a member of the 'Four Murders'! Li Xiuling said with certainty.

At the same time, she also clasped the jade talisman given to her by Yan Hongxia in her hand.

"Xiangxue" didn't answer, but took a few steps forward, looked at Li Xiuling, and said with a smile: "Li Xiuling, you may not know, I've always been jealous of you!"

"You are also a concubine of a big family, why can you be pampered and marry a husband who loves you very much...... And I'm being bullied, and I have to fight for everything on my own, to grab it?

"So, the moment I came to Ice Spring Town and infiltrated the Zhao family, I decided to destroy you!

"It's a pity that Lord 'Tiger' has never allowed me to act rashly, otherwise I will definitely let you try what it feels like to have 'a little red lips and ten thousand tastes'."

At this, she suddenly burst out laughing sickly, and continued,

"But your husband is in a very good condition, and has served me with great satisfaction these days, and I will be merciful enough to let him live until the time when I will deliver you and his sons and daughters to the altar with my own hands."

Li Xiuling could still remain calm when she heard the previous words, even if the woman opposite was still calm about her husband's character, after all, her husband was most likely tempted by spells, but after learning that her children would be sent to the altar, her face finally changed, and she asked sharply: "What happened to your Xi'er and Mian'er?" ”

"Haha...... Finally in a hurry, I like the way you look now! "Xiangxue" laughed nervously again, and then said,

"Anyway, you're going to die, so it doesn't hurt to tell you, our 'Four Fierce Halls' are about to sacrifice blood to the Chijin region, and open the seal that seals the soul of the 'Red Whisker Dragon'.

"And your sons and daughters are the main materials for making the 'key' to unseal."

After speaking, she looked at Li Xiuling's face again, wanting to see a look of pain and despair on it.

Her favorite thing to do is to degrade these happy little sluts, to make them suffer the pain they have suffered.

But who would have thought, Li Xiuling did not do what she wanted, but directly raised her hand and threw the "jade talisman" that had been prepared for a long time over with her head and face.

The "jade talisman" instantly turned into a red sword qi and shot towards "Xiangxue".

But "Xiangxue" already knew that Yan Hongxia had left Li Xiuling with something to save her life, how could she be defenseless?

Moreover, the sword qi turned into this jade talisman is only a "dead thing" after all, although it has the ability to track the breath, but it is still too rigid when no one controls it, so "Xiangxue" just relied on his flexible skills to change direction several times in a row, and then dodged it.

However, when she looked at Li Xiuling's location again, she happened to see the scene where the other party pulled the mechanism and the whole person fell into the secret passage with the chair.

When she arrived at the closed mechanism, she was a step too late.

"Li Xiuling, you can't run!" "Xiangxue" thought of the punishment that Lord "Tiger" might give, and said hatefully.

At the same time, she gathered her true qi and smashed the entrance of the mechanism on the ground with one palm, revealing the passage inside, and then jumped down.

"Ahh Yes! Yes...... Oh......"

However, the next moment, the screams were endless.

……

In another room of the Zhao family, the head of the family, Zhao Song, dropped a chess piece and muttered:

"Xiuling's vitality lies in the abnormal spirit of the stupid woman of the 'fox'."
