Chapter 151: Behind the Mist
When Minghe left Li Shijie's room, he gently extinguished the light, Li Shijie seemed to be lying quietly on the bed, but at the moment when the door was closed, he quickly got up, changed into black clothes as quickly as possible, walked to the door and listened to the movement, nothing abnormal, then pushed the door open, and flew away quietly with a light tiptoe.
Su Kexin had wind on the soles of his feet, returned to Cuizhuyuan, didn't even bother to say hello to the maid, and went straight to the room to light the candle, and the maid Wuqin wanted to serve closely, but she was also dismissed for various reasons. The room suddenly fell silent, only the candle flame burned unwillingly 'crackling', emitting a circle of light to reflect Su Kexin's angry face.
The door was closed again, the bamboo potted plants seemed to be more green under the refraction of the firelight, Su Kexin's anger did not come to one place, picked up the teapot on the table and poured the tea into the bamboo potted plants, and then felt puzzled, so he simply picked up the scissors, flew all over the bamboo, and when he stopped, a few innocent bamboo leaves, leisurely floated down, fell on the cold soil, and lost his life forever.
The candle flame trembled slightly, Su Kexin looked around vigilantly, sighed, and then walked to the basin rack, after washing, after a squirming sound of changing clothes, the candle flame was extinguished, and a figure quietly flew out of the side window and went straight to the back mountain. What she didn't notice was that there was a figure behind her, quietly following.
In the back mountain of Hongyuan Villa, many trees, by the illumination of the bright moonlight, make a strange shadow on the craggy and strange rocks in the back mountain, occasionally a few birds pass by, wrapped in the cold wind with a few chirps, empty and crazy, making the mountains at night more gloomy.
A black figure stood on a fairly flat stone, quietly waiting for someone in the cold wind.
At this time, another figure quietly approached, it was Su Kexin who had changed into a night suit, at this time Su Kexin had lost her former dignity, her thick black hair was tied high above her head, and her originally fresh and gentle face was full of indifference, she recognized the figure at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Great Protector." β
This person is also the protector of the Lingye Palace, ranking above the two protectors of the cold wind and the cold rain, codenamed 'Eagle Falcon', and is above 10,000 people under one person in the Lingye Palace, with a high position, because he has been performing tasks outside for many years, and rarely shows up. At this time, he rashly appeared in Hongyuan Villa, which really surprised Su Kexin.
The eagle falcon did not make any response to Su Kexin's salute, Su Kexin just waited quietly, suddenly, a cold light flashed, caught off guard, a long sword came towards him, Su Kexin flew on tiptoe to dodge, and where he was originally standing, a deep crack was drawn.
The long sword continued to fly with the figure of the eagle falcon, approaching Su Kexin, Su Kexin also dodged one by one with his body technique, and after a few rounds, both of them stopped, and a long sword seemed to be on Su Kexin's neck, and a strand of hair fell suddenly. Su Kexin couldn't help but gasp, she had worked for the Lingye Palace for many years, if she didn't understand the intention of the eagle falcon's move, it was fake, and then knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty, "Leng Yu is guilty." β
Eagle Falcon's eyes were piercing, "Expose your emotions at will, that's a taboo in the palace, if you are probed by someone with a heart, you don't know how many times you have died!"
"Cold rain understands. Su Kexin lowered his head, "But Li Shijie is really excessive, and he actually used alcohol to do something to me, I really couldn't help but stop it." β
Eagle Falcon snorted coldly, "You can't help but endure it, don't forget, you are the eldest lady of Hongyuan Villa, gentle and dignified, fresh and lovely." Just by your actions, you look like a lady of all the people! But fortunately, Li Shijie was drunk and didn't find out, otherwise, you will die without a place to be buried!"
"Thank you Great Protector for reminding me, Leng Yu understands. Su Ke's heart was buried lower, and his eyes kept looking at the gravel on the ground, "It's just that Leng Yu doesn't understand, since Hongyuan Villa has cooperated with Lingye Palace and the Lord......"
"Now is not the time!" the eagle falcon's deep and gloomy voice interrupted Su Kexin's question, "Li Shijie is vacillating and untrustworthy now, and Li Muyang is scheming and has always only considered his own interests. If you are exposed now, you are killing yourself!"
Su Kexin didn't open his mouth to ask anything more, just waited for the eagle falcon to give orders, and the eagle falcon glanced over coldly, "Get up!"
"Thank you, the Great Protector. Su Kexin stood up and took a step back respectfully, waiting for the order.
Eagle Falcon walked up to Su Kexin and stared straight at her, with a cold gaze with a hint of inquiry, "I'm only here to see your performance, not to reprimand you, and I want to ask you to cooperate with me in one more thing." β
Su Kexin bowed and arched his hand, "Please give the Great Protector orders." Cold rain should do its best. β
"Good. The eagle falcon smiled coldly, and then, whispered something in Leng Yu's ear, Su Kexin listened, his expression was awe-inspiring, just a hesitation between breaths, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and said, "Yes." β
The falcon nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "I should go back, it will be suspicious after a long time." β
"Cold rain sends the Great Protector. The words landed, and the eagle falcon flew away without a trace, leaving only a gust of cold wind, blowing the broken hair on Su Kexin's sideburns, at this time, she was still careless, and did not find another figure that had been hidden behind the dense branches - Li Shijie, the young owner. He tried his best to hide his breath and watched quietly.
Li Shijie saw this scene with his own eyes, although he only listened to a few words intermittently, but looking at Su Kexin's skillful movements, the last bit of hope in his heart was completely shattered. Only a barely audible sigh remained......
Hengshan faction
The sky is dawning, the morning sun is dotted with faint light, and the morning bell of the Hengshan faction is long. The disciple in charge of sprinkling and sweeping had already waved a broom to sweep the ground, and the 'rustle' sound sounded rhythmically.
At this time, Li Zifeng was no exception, got up early, and after cleaning the courtyard, he took Ouyang Ze's changed clothes to the miscellaneous workshop to wash, and when he walked out of the gate of Shangqingyuan, crossed the stone road, and walked to the main road, he met He Yi who was in a hurry and looked panicked.
He Yixu was too flustered to pay attention to Li Zifeng's approach, and he bumped into him carelessly, Li Zifeng couldn't dodge, and all the clothes in his hands fell to the ground and scattered to the ground. He Yi was stunned, and hurriedly squatted down, ready to help pick it up, and apologized repeatedly, "It's my rudeness." β
"No need!" Li Zifeng took the first step to shake off his hand and said coldly, "The clothes that the head of the house has changed are not allowed to be touched by anyone except for the people of Shang Qingyuan and the people designated by the miscellaneous workshop. The second son is no exception. As he spoke, he stood up after cleaning up the clothes scattered on the ground, and looked at He Yi with burning eyes.
He Yi's expression froze on his face, he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes were astringent, Li Zifeng seemed to be smiling, as if he was deliberately reminding, "The ground is slippery, Senior Brother He should be careful when walking." Immediately afterwards, Li Zifeng said word by word, "Especially when you go up and down the stone steps." If you are a little careless, your muscles and bones will be broken. β
After that, without waiting for He Yi to react, Li Zifeng brushed his body and walked by, He Yi was stunned in place, trying to stop Li Zifeng, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Hurriedly sent the clothes to the miscellaneous workshop to be washed, and took the washed clothes back, Li Zifeng looked up at the sky, about the time of morning exercise, Ouyang Ze was also in need of employing people, so he stepped up the pace of his feet and hurried back, but he didn't want to go halfway, he saw two or three disciples gathered together, shoveling the ground with shovels, and whispering from time to time, and his expression was different, obviously a little scared, a few timid female disciples who had just started were still hiding aside, and kept patting their chests gently, as if they were frightenedγ
Li Zifeng didn't like to watch the excitement, in the past, when he was a senior brother, he would drink back these idle disciples, but now, he stopped like a ghost, and after hesitation, some disciples saw Li Zifeng, because he knew that Li Zifeng was experienced in the rivers and lakes, and he was the person next to the head, so he had the courage to come, "Senior brother early..."
Li Zifeng saw that this disciple was hesitating, and frowned slightly, "What are they doing?"
"The soil here is very soft, and a few new junior sisters are curious, so they want to dig a pit and plant some saplings, but they dig out some weird things, which are very weird. So I found someone to come and check it out. β
"Nonsense. Li Zifeng scolded secretly in his heart, and was about to go over to check, when the shovels in the hands of several people digging the ground fell to the ground, making a 'clang' sound, and then took two steps back, so shocked that he couldn't speak. Seeing this, Li Zifeng stepped forward to check without hesitation, and couldn't help but be stunned, what they dug out was a complete human bone!
