Chapter 60: Life hangs by a thread and is silent

"Sister Xue Ning, the security in Kyoto has not been good recently, and it is rumored that there are rebels who will come to attack the entire city, but because most of the soldiers defending the city in Kyoto go to participate in the border battles, the number has decreased sharply.

However, the court became suspicious again, suspecting that this borrowed foreign soldier would not only help him defend the city, but also covet it.

Therefore, under the contradictions, the imperial court ordered that all these barbarian soldiers who came to help be stationed on the outskirts of Kyoto.

However, when investigating the case, the people of the uncle of the Third Highness unexpectedly found that those barbarians had died strangely in the dense forest in the suburbs.

The officer sent to investigate the case came back and said that the dead barbarians were in a very miserable state, and before they died, it was as if something had taken all the blood out of their bodies, and their skin looked pale and pale, with only traces of animal gnawing on their necks.

Those who died, all of them were brave and good at fighting, and they all wore sharp combat knives around them, but the strange thing is that before they died, they didn't seem to have the strength to resist anything, but were tied to death and were bitten to death by some kind of monster.

Now Chenhua's uncle is going all out to send someone to investigate the case, because he is afraid that after the wind is revealed, it will have a great damaging effect on the relationship between the court and the barbarian clan.

He is even more afraid of the barbarians, and when he finds out that his subordinates have died, he will take revenge on our dynasty even more.

So poor Dali Siqing, at the moment, is like sitting on pins and needles, trying every means to investigate these murder cases. ”

"Oh, there is such a strange thing, I think, the death of this unexpectedly dead barbarian soldier may have nothing to do with the wolf demon, and the abnormal appearance of the wolf demon in the palace just confirmed my guess.

Zimo, I have a bad premonition, that feeling is like the smell of the mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings, and I feel that there is a huge disaster approaching the people of Kyoto.

I can't say exactly what it is.

Zimo, I think, it's best for us not to stay here anymore, it's not as comfortable and safe as we think, I think, if the third elder brother's uncle can find clues about his father and sisters, the two of us will leave the palace as soon as possible and leave this place of right and wrong.

I wanted to follow what my father had planned, and continue westward to learn from his dear friend who had attained enlightenment. ”

Although Xue Ning is young, through the strange murder case told by Zimo, combined with what she saw and heard in the palace, she actually had an unprecedented bad premonition.

"Okay, Sister Xue Ning, just do what you say, but not at the moment, Dali Siqing is sending people around to investigate the case, it is very likely that in the next quarter of an hour, someone will be sent to find the whereabouts of the demon fox father and your sisters, if the two of us leave at this moment, I am afraid that we will never find useful clues to reunite with our relatives."

Besides, now in the border of Kyoto, because of the investigation of the case, the investigation is very strict, I am afraid that you are still young, and when you run away with me, you will be arrested again. ”

Zi Mo saw that there were no others around, and carefully whispered in a soft voice that belonged to the demon foxes, and the fox whispered to Xue Ning about these worries.

Xue Ning listened to Zimo's analysis and felt that it did make some sense, so she had to promise patiently, "Okay, Brother Zimo, you are a few years older than me, and you want to be more knowledgeable than me, besides, you live in the Third Elder Brother's Mansion and are well-informed, this time, I will follow your persuasion, and live in the palace first, I will wait for your news and the news of the fox demon father and sister before making a decision." ”

"Then I will be wronged Sister Xuening, I think we only need to hold on for a while before we find out the whereabouts of your father and sisters. Zimo comforted.

Because of the arrival of the third elder brother, the cold atmosphere in this palace was instantly replaced by a joyful and festive atmosphere, even the youngest elder brother Zijin seemed to sense everyone's joy, he was in the arms of the nurse, with a pair of black eyes like stars, staring at everyone with great interest, seeing the joy, and smiling sweetly.

The queen was in a rare mood, so she accompanied the third elder brother to take a walk in the garden and laugh.

In the house, only the nurse was left behind, and two personal palace maids were accompanying the little brother.

Xue Ning and Zimo sat in an inconspicuous corner of the house, drawing portraits of their missing relatives.

Xue Ning was young, so the matter of painting was handed over to Zimo, Zimo was extremely talented, and with only a few strokes, he vividly painted the appearance of the demon fox father as a human.

Xue Ning stared at the portrait of her father that was about to come out on the paper, seeing things and thinking about people, she couldn't help but feel sad, and a few tears involuntarily overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Zimo inadvertently raised his head, and was about to ask Xue Ning's opinion, when he saw the little fox demon grief-stricken and crying in pain, he couldn't help but feel pity.

He stopped the pen in his hand, took out a handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped the tears from the corners of Xuerou's eyes, and comforted her,

"Sister Xue Ning, don't worry, from now on, I will accompany you, whether it is on the Sword Mountain or the Sea of Fire, I will never abandon you and protect you. Xue Ning heard Brother Zimo say so intimately, she couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, she stretched out her chubby little hand, and said coquettishly, "Brother Zimo, a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, we will hang ourselves on the hook, and we will not change for a hundred years." ”

After speaking, Xue Ning stretched out her finger and hooked Zimo's finger hard.

The fingers of the two little demon foxes were tightly hooked together, and from their eyes there was a sense of intimacy and trust that depended on each other.

However, at this moment, an exclamation came from inside the house, "Come on, there are poisonous insects here!"

Immediately afterwards, the little brother let out a heart-rending cry, and the sharp cry of "wow" suddenly sounded, frightening everyone at a loss, and the nurse holding him, because of fear, almost threw the little guy on the ground.

Xue Ning and Zimo were not far from Little Brother, and when the two of them heard Elder Brother's miserable cry, they immediately had a premonition that something was wrong, and the two of them pulled out their feet and ran to Little Elder Brother.

At this moment, even more palace maids ran out in a panic, calling for the queen to come back quickly.

When Xue Ning and Zimo ran in front of the little brother, they saw a small scorpion-like poisonous insect rolling out of the little brother's clothes, the poisonous insect was dark all over and looked very terrifying.

After the poisonous insect fell to the ground, it quickly walked towards the gap in the wall, and the quilt Zimo hurriedly caught up and trampled to death.

Xue Ning and the nurse were panicked to check the place where the little brother was bitten.

The nurse lifted Brother's robe and found that Little Brother's waist had just been bitten by the poisonous insect, and it became red and swollen at the moment.

Xu is poisonous insect poison is too strong, after being bitten by the little brother can't bear the sting pain at all, his cry is louder and more poignant.

A minute later, the queen mother, who heard the call of the palace maid, hurriedly ran back with the third elder brother, and when she found the scene in front of her, she was distressed and angry.

The queen hurriedly ran to the little brother in three steps and two steps, and called out in a trembling voice, "My heart and soul baby, you tell Eniang, who bullied you?"

"Useless things, I have just been out for a while, and my emperor has a situation again, this time, if the emperor has any three long and two short, I will carefully uncover your skin. ”

Hearing the words of the queen mother, all the slaves were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Please let the queen mother calm her anger! ”

The little brother cried constantly in the midst of everyone's begging for mercy, and the queen mother was holding the prince at the moment, and she had already seen the place where the child was bitten, and she was distressed and crying.

But when she was in a panic, she still cheered up and ordered the palace maid to summon the imperial doctor quickly, "Hurry, quickly send someone to announce the imperial doctor"

"Queen Mother, I have already sent someone, and I want to come soon. A palace maid in charge next to him replied.

However, as soon as the words fell, the queen mother screamed while holding the little brother.

"My emperor, wake up!" Everyone saw that the little brother in the queen's arms was bitten by a very poisonous poisonous insect, the pain was abnormal, and the poisonous gas attacked the heart, and he actually cried all of a sudden.

A bold and careful grandmother stood up bravely, and in an emergency, she helped the queen pinch the little brother, but found that it was to no avail.

A deep red nail mark was pinched out of the little brother's person, and he couldn't wake up the child.

Xue Ning and Zi Mo saw it in their eyes, and they were anxious in their hearts, especially Zi Mo, just now he trampled on the fleeing poisonous insect with his foot, and he deeply understood how terrible the poisonous insect was just now.

The poisonous insect was black and huge, and it was very poisonous at first glance, not like a poisonous insect born naturally, but like a poisonous insect that had been raised by witchcraft.

Even if such a poisonous insect bites an adult, it will make the patient cry in pain, roll all over the ground, and even kill in critical situations.

What's more, this bite is a small baby who is waiting to be fed, such a small child, encountering such a poisonous insect, you can imagine how dangerous it is.

If the poisonous insect was really raised in captivity, then this poisonous insect sneak attack on Little Brother was by no means an ordinary trivial matter, because the person who poisoned it, she was very likely to count on this move to kill Little Brother in infancy.

Thinking of this terrible consequence, Xue Ning and Zimo couldn't help but shiver.

It seems that this harem land is by no means a pure place, there are too many deceits, intrigues, insidious and cunning tricks staged here quietly.

However, who is behind the scenes this time, and where she is hiding, everyone still does not know.

At present, the most important thing is to treat the little brother, just like last time, under the dangerous situation, human life is at stake, and there can be no delay in the slightest, so we can't wait for the doctor to come, we have to take measures to save the little brother, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable if we rescue it later.

Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, these days, getting along with the third elder brother Chenhua has made Zimo and Xue Ning like this young brother in the palace at the same time, his simple mind and enthusiasm to help others have made Xue Ning and Zimo grateful.

So for the sake of the third elder brother, this person must also be saved, but saving people this time is not so simple.
