got the same answer, Ye Shuhua still felt that something must have been missed.

Soon it was the end of the year, and the Spring Festival in Li was no different from that in Huaguo.

Paste Spring Festival couplets, wrap dumplings, wear new clothes, and set off firecrackers to welcome the New Year.

The only difference is that every household in the Li country has to sacrifice ghosts and gods, and the so-called sacrifice to ghosts and gods is to wear a ghost mask and walk around at the door of their own house.

As he walked, he threw a rattle bell and chanted words in his mouth, begging the ghosts and gods to make way and bless the coming year with good sail and peace and auspiciousness.

Later, it developed into a situation where everyone gathered on the street and paraded together, and then it developed into a situation where every family had to wear a mask and walk around the street.

And the people wearing ghost masks on the street are not just walking, there are a lot of performances and flowers, all kinds of fun juggling, and the street has become a play.

Ye Shuhua also felt fresh, so he and Li Zhen each wore masks with angry eyes and green fangs, and walked towards the street.

Because of the large number of people, Ye Shuhua was tightly protected by Liji, for fear of being separated.

After walking for a while, he was really worried, so he found a tea shop and went up, and it was not too late to sit on it and wait for less people to go down.

But when they all took off their masks, they only heard an exclamation.

"Ahh There was a strange woman sitting opposite, and he didn't know who the other party was.

Judging from the other party's frightened eyes, she didn't know who Li Ji was.

But Li Zhen looked at her clothes, which were exactly the same as Ye Shuhua's dress!

"Tell me, who the hell sent you!"

The woman saw that the other party pulled out a dagger and held it against her neck, and the cold and cold dagger blade had already cut through her tender skin.

She burst into tears of fright, and teardrops the size of beans fell on the dagger with a crisp and subtle sound.

The woman trembled and said, "I, I don't know what Childe is talking about, beg, beg Childe not to kill me." ”

She looked terrified, her face turned pale, and tears rolled down like beads of broken thread.

His eyes were full of panic and fear, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

I'm afraid that my neck will be cut a big cut in the next moment.

Li Zhen looked at the frightened quail in front of him, shrunk back, his eyes showed a different color, and he asked again.

"Where did you get this dress?"

The woman was so frightened that her brain was already blank, and she really couldn't remember when she asked about her clothes before she met.

But the man was obviously impatient, and the dagger increased its strength again, and the pain of the tearing flesh of the blade suddenly came from his neck.

A splash of bright red slid down the dagger, against the placket, and bloomed, only to end up in a thick patch.

The woman closed her eyes in fright and shouted, "It was given to me by a woman!" ”

The strength of the dagger stopped.

Then came a voice like broken ice and jade, "What woman, what else did she say!" ”

She tried her best to recall, the memory in her mind was clearer and clearer, and said, "I, I don't know what kind of woman it is, she wears a hood and wraps herself tightly, I can't see what she looks like at all." ”

After a pause, she swallowed harder, glancing under her eyes at the dagger that had sunk a little into the flesh.

His front was already stained with blood.

The dense sweat on the forehead condensed into beads of sweat and dripped down with tears.

She was so frightened that she forgot to cry, but the tears still couldn't stop falling from her eyes.

In this way, she was frightened and frightened, and continued to tremble and said: "She, she also asked me to let me have to pull a man in the same clothes as Gongzi on this street, and walk back and forth on this street. Nothing else, nothing else. ”

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the frosty man in front of her, and when she saw that the other party's eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze her, she hurriedly withdrew her eyes again.

knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please spare your son's life, don't kill me!" I was greedy for a while, and I did this after accepting the other party's money, and I begged my son not to kill me! ”

Li Zhen didn't have time to listen to her beg for mercy, and lowered her eyes and pondered.

The other party obviously arranged everything, just waiting for him and Ye Shuhua to enter this flow of people.

That person is likely to be the person who has always wanted to kill Ye Shuhua behind the back of the Li Kingdom.

You have to find Ye Shuhua quickly, otherwise she will be more than lucky!

Retracting the dagger, Li Zhen commanded: "Ji Cui, you take care of her!" ”

Then he prepared to follow the route he had traveled all the way to find Ye Shuhua.

At this time, Takekage chased after him.

Told him about the fact that Miss had been looking for a unique window recently, and said, "Your Highness, Miss said that if she goes missing and is arrested one day, let Your Highness find a courtyard with this carved window, and she is likely to be locked up here." ”

Li Zhen heard the sound and heard something strange.

frowned, "She already knew she was going to be caught?" ”

Zhuying didn't answer, but said: "This subordinate doesn't know, these are just the subordinates specially ordered by the young lady." ”

As she spoke, she took out the pattern of the carved window and handed it to him, saying, "Moreover, Miss has ordered the Oriental girl to check before, and only the palace of the third prince is this kind of carved window, but Miss obviously doesn't believe it." Moreover, we have repeatedly confirmed that it is true that only the palace of the Three Princes has this kind of carved window. ”

"Miss originally planned to look for a yard with the same carved windows that she had missed, but so far she has not found it."

"The young lady also said that if she is not found by the time she is arrested, she will tell His Highness truthfully, and she believes that His Highness will definitely find and save her."

Li Zhen stared at the carved window and looked closely.

This is indeed the carved window in the Lishuo Temple, he has been there and remembers.

His brows became tighter and tighter, and the paper in his hand was wrinkled into a ball.

He turned away and disappeared into the night.

Bamboo Shadow and Nine Fish also followed closely.

Li Shuo came directly to Li Shuo's temple, and it happened that Li Shuo came back from the street, took off his mask and threw it aside boringly.

Year after year, he had long lost interest in these things, and only came back after a symbolic walk.

When he first arrived at the temple, he saw that he had been robbed in the temple, and all the doors and windows were opened.

The objects and books inside were all messed up, and many of the porcelain he had treasured for a long time were also shattered.

"This, who is this, who did it!"

He was so angry that his hands trembled, and he pointed to the mess in the room and shouted.

The subordinate who was waiting on the side walked quickly, with a look of embarrassment, and said tremblingly: "Yes, it is His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

Is it the second brother?

Li Shuo's full anger that was about to overflow suddenly died down.

I only wondered why he did this, and asked him where he was, and when I saw that the subordinate pointed to the side hall, I hurried there.

When he arrived, Li Zhen happened to search all the rooms in the side hall.

It's still a mess.

Li Shuo didn't feel sorry for those things, so he just ran over and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"What are you looking for?"

Li Zhen said succinctly: "Ye Shuhua was arrested, and there is such a window in the place where she is detained!" ”

The pinched crumpled paper was thrown into his arms, and Li Shuo opened it to take a look.

It is the window of his own house.

Thinking that the second brother had wronged himself, he hurriedly explained: "Second brother, I didn't kidnap my sister-in-law!" ”

Li Zhen glanced at him and said impatiently: "Of course I know!" Just say it quickly, this Liyang City, but there are also houses with this kind of windows like your palace! ”

"Or your idle house."

Ye Shuhua was dizzy, and when she gradually woke up, she was blindfolded and tied to a chair.

Touching the feel, the chair is the finest golden silk nanmu.

Then she smelled a strange scent on the tip of her nose, she couldn't smell what it was, but she could tell that it wasn't right.

At that moment, she tried to move her limbs again, and sure enough, her body was stiff and she couldn't move for half a minute.

That's it, the other party also tied his limbs tightly.

Her consciousness was completely awakened, and she slowly raised her head.

She couldn't see her surroundings, but she could feel the faint light through the black cloth.

As he listened, the room was silent, except for the sound of his own breathing and the sound of incense burning in the incense burner beside him.

But she could still feel that there was a pair of eyes staring at her not far away.

"Xiziying?"

After a long silence, she tentatively spoke.

Hearing her ask, the other party made a move.

With a light footstep, he seemed to come over and sit down not far from her.

"Ye Shuhua, you are really smart."

As she spoke, the cold swept through her temples, and the black cloth covering her eyes was picked off by the dagger in the man's hand.

Ye Shuhua closed her eyes suddenly, adapting to the light, and then slowly opened them.

Sitting in front of her was indeed Xi Ziying.

She was exactly the same as the clothes she wore in her dream, and even her expression was exactly the same.

Her eyes looked around again, like a scene from a dream, and she was locked up in a luxurious room.

The window is a custom-patterned carved window.

"Where is this?"

"You can't get out of this place, Ye Shuhua, your death is coming."

Xi Ziying played with the dagger in her hand and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
