Chapter 7 Fox Dream
When she saw that person for the first time, she had just been able to transform into a human form. Regardless of the standards of employing humans or monsters, she could be regarded as very young, so young that she was even powerless to protect herself in the face of natural disasters.
The blizzard was like a cruel beast, ruthlessly depriving her body of the last bit of heat. At first she could still hear her sister Su Ying's voice, but later she became numb to the point where only the whistling wind was left.
Will we just die like this, on this icy wasteland?While she was thinking this, she noticed someone coming towards them.
There is a kind of magical power in this person, even if she doesn't speak, just walking in this hazy snowstorm will take away her full attention.
"Are you guys calling me?"
The cold and clear voice reminded her of spring water in the mountains for no reason.
The man was wearing a wide cloak, and from the bottom up, only a pale jaw and black hair tips could be seen.
He squatted down slightly, and stretched out his hands to the two of her sisters, "It looks like you."
"Who are you?" She took a step back in a daze, "What is the relationship between you and those people..."?
"Little fox, since you don't know who I am, how did you call me?" He turned his attention to the other person who had been silent, "Did you call me?"
"Yes, it's me, but I'm just..." Su Ying was a little embarrassed when she was called.
"Who the hell are you?" She interrupted her sister's words, raised her voice and asked who the person in front of her was.
Even she herself didn't know what she was so anxious about.
"I'm the one who can help you out of the predicament in front of you." He didn't pay attention to her rebellion, and still said in a gentle tone, "You can just call me Cheng Tianjun."
Cheng Tianjun, what is this?How has she never heard of it?Another gust of snowflakes whizzed by, and she flinched imperceptibly.
Noticing this, he immediately asked, "Is it cold?"
As long as the furry original body is shown, they will naturally ignore the wind and snow, but human beings are different, human skin is smooth and naked, and she can't control the demon power well, the wind blowing on it is like a knife scraping pain.
"It's not cold, I'm not cold." She shook her head in shame and denied it. For monsters like them, admitting that they are afraid of cold is as shameful as death, because only weak mortals are afraid of cold.
"Okay, it's not cold."
Having said that, he still took off his cloak and put it on the sisters.
"Then treat me as meddling in my own business."
"Thank you Tianjun."
Sister Suying urged her to thank her quickly, but she was speechless for a long time in a daze.
"Aren't you... not cold?" She had a battle between heaven and man in her heart for a while, and this was the last thing she said.
"Don't worry about me." He walked forward without looking back, "Come with me."
The cloak looked plain, until she tentatively tried to pinch the edge, only to find that it was as smooth as water, and it slipped off quickly after reaching her hand, but with its cover, the cold wind could no longer blow on them, and it was as warm as When the mother was still alive, she transformed into a prototype and wrapped her sisters with her long and fluffy tail, so that her body that was about to freeze was relieved little by little.
Without the cloak, he looked even more thinly dressed, walking in front, blocking the cold wind for them, and preventing the snow from falling into their eyes.
She noticed that where he walked, the ice and snow melted, and green sprouts grew in the soil, vaguely showing a sign of spring.
"Do you know who he is?" She turned her attention to her sister Suying as if remembering something, "From his tone, it seems that I am the only one who doesn't know."
She had never seen such a person before, and it was obviously not very special in appearance, but it was hard to look away after just one glance.
"Ah Jiang, my mother once said that Lord Chengtian is the god that our demon clan believes in..."
What Suying said again she couldn't hear clearly.No wonder she hadn't seen it before. It turned out that this was the god in the sky. The severe cold that was about to kill her before was as docile as a wild beast that had lost its fangs and claws. Is this the power of being a god?
Thinking of this place, a strange malice appeared in her heart, and even she was startled.Why can he live so fearlessly, but they have to be in fear all day long?
He led them forward, walking and walking, as if there would never be an end.
The more she wanted to reach out to reach the corner of this man's plain clothes, the farther away this man was from her.
From the little girl who was still a bit ignorant to the present, she gradually understood that no matter how close he was to them, there was still something between him and them.
When she finally touched this person, she froze for a moment, as if she didn't know what to do.
Her palm was filled with warm and moist red liquid, and the bright red heart was still beating.Does God bleed too?She looked up and saw a pair of eyes full of indifference and contempt.
"madness."
This is the last sentence he said to her, and it is also the only serious sentence he has said in so many years.
madness.She couldn't figure it out, it was obvious that this person was defeated by her own weakness, why did she turn around and accuse her of being stupid?
"My lady, my lady, are you asleep?"
She woke up suddenly from this dream.
The scarlet curtains, the thick and substantial aroma bubbling from the golden incense burner with animal heads, and the high window lattices carved with flowers and birds can't see a ray of skylight.
This is the Xining Palace, and she is the most honorable woman in this deep palace, at least for now.
"Wake up Aijia specially, what's the matter?"
The kneeling man in front of him was dressed in a white-washed blue cloth dress, so plain and shabby that he couldn't fit in this luxurious and splendid palace.
His hair was completely white, and his whole body looked older than then. He was cringing, and his neck seemed to be unable to straighten forever.
But this can't be blamed on him. First, he barely escaped the fate of losing his head in the hands of the young master of the Mu family, but lost a tail, and was sent to test General Xuanwu, and was bumped into in his camp. It's like a candle in the wind, and it can't stand a little bit of wear and tear.
"Another formation has been broken. Together with the Huguo Temple, there are only the last two left."
Originally these formations were guarded by the demon monk Langxue, but Langxue died in that tower, so it was his turn to do these things.
On the one hand, he was trembling, but on the other hand, he was secretly proud that his master trusted him so much.
She pressed her forehead, as if she was very tired, "Let's break it, anyway, I have almost all the things I want."
While they were talking, there was a sudden burst of noise from the other side of the half-drawn curtain.
"Ah, there are people..." He just noticed a person sitting in a dimly lit place. Because of the angle, he could only see a piece of bright yellow clothes.
Noticing that the woman's eyes were as cold as ice, he immediately stopped talking, not even daring to breathe.
"Ah-jun, A-jun, are you alright... I can't wait for you, I'm so scared, so scared."
"Wait a little longer, and I will come to accompany you after a little longer." She slowed down her tone, but he still keenly heard the trace of impatience hidden underneath, "Emperor, no one is going to harm you, what are you doing?" What are you afraid of?"
The man behind the curtain thought hard as if he was being questioned by her, and finally hesitantly murmured, "I don't know, I'm just afraid... I always feel that something wants my life, and this thing is in front of me. By my side, staring at me all the time. Can you come and accompany me? I won’t be afraid when you are by my side.”
"Emperor, no one wants to harm you." She closed her eyes, "at least not yet. If you are still afraid, then use some Changshengsan. I put it in the sandalwood box by your hand, and the pipe is also It’s ready for you. Remember it, only use a little, if you let me know that you use too much, you will know the consequences.”
"Okay, Changshengsan, Changshengsan, I really can't live without it for a moment... Arjun, you'd better hurry up, I'm so scared, I need you by my side."
There was a rustling sound from over there, and the strong scent of phoenix marrow was suddenly mixed with the faint scent of mandala.
After a while, the Ninth Five Lord no longer said childish words, but calmed down, as if falling asleep.
"I can't believe it, right? Weak, sensitive, surly and suspicious, even if you are born into an ordinary family, it doesn't seem like you can achieve great things, let alone the king of a country." After finally dealing with this big trouble, she picked up the case book There was a gold thread inlaid emerald earring that I forgot to put away, and I looked carefully at the faint candlelight, "This is the blood of Yan Yunting, you can't see the shadow of that damned man at all, right? "
This emerald was a rare tribute, even under the candlelight, there was no trace of blemish. It was so green that it reminded her of someone's eyes.
I don't know why she suddenly mentioned this, the old fox answered hesitantly, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Yes, it's a good thing, of course it's a good thing."
For a long time in the past, she had been faintly worried, what would happen if there was a second Yan Yunting?
Until she met the first emperor for the first time, she almost laughed out loud.Tiandao finally stood on Li's side. During the more than a hundred years of recharging his energy, the royal family of the Yong Dynasty had fallen so thoroughly.
She easily grasped the lifeblood of the entire country in her hands.Those long-bearded civil servants in the court presented memorials one after another, begging the emperor to be in charge of the emperor in a slightly gentler way, and begging the emperor to pass on the throne and the eldest prince directly in a more forceful manner.Interfering with Chao Gang and plotting wrongdoing?She couldn't help laughing every time she thought about the words they used to impeach her.Could it be this vain and insignificant right that she wanted?
"How long...how long?"
She glanced at the old fox, her red lips parted slightly, "Soon, very soon."
"I can't remember how many years I have waited for. Compared with all the years I have waited for, these few days are nothing at all."
"All the waiting is worth it. Soon, I will become the new god." She slowly crushed the emerald green jadeite into powder, her smile became colder and colder against the candlelight, "and the only one. "
The author says:
Queen Mother officially enters the main line
In the wilderness forest, a carriage galloped in the deep night, the speed was so fast that only the afterimage it left behind could be captured.
Unlike ordinary carriages, the front of this carriage is empty, neither the driver nor the horse can be seen, only the suspended reins and a few neat rows of footprints on the snow prove from the side that it is being dragged by some invisible animal move forward.
As for the charcoal basin in the car, it was burning vigorously, and the warm heat made people drowsy.Mu Liya was leaning on the couch, unconsciously playing with something in his hands, and if he looked carefully, he could find that it was one of the seven copper coins Shi Yongfu left him.
The blood on the sixth copper coin is still very bright, which means that He Yaosugu and the others have not yet succeeded.He collected the copper coins into the kit, and the array was arranged strictly in a certain order. As long as the sixth office was still alive, they could not do anything to the thing sealed in the Huguo Temple.
At present, there is only one thing they can do besides waiting, and that is to find the person who set up the formation to solve everything from the source, so they left the void and rushed towards the capital without stopping. Not even a day's rest.
"If you keep going at this speed, you can reach Tianjing in about three or four days."
His contemplation was interrupted, and he began to look at the speaker.
Xue Zhi was also looking at him, his expression made him feel familiar yet unfamiliar.The familiar part belongs to the young man who grew up with him, while the unfamiliar part belongs to Cheng Tianjun who once had a relationship with him.
"I'm not worried about this. I'm thinking about what you said to me during the day." He withdrew his thoughts, and simply told Xue Zhi something he couldn't figure out, "I always thought it was your brother Zetian Jun who killed you." You fell into a mortal, but you told me that was not the case, and someone else caused you. Do you know her identity?"
The woman in red who came to visit in summer, Cheng Tianjun who disappeared quietly, and the massacre of the Mu family, three seemingly unrelated things are all connected so far, and the truth he is looking for is close at hand.
"Her name is Chi Jiang," Xue Zhi said in a very ordinary tone, as if he was not talking about his murderous enemy, but some insignificant person. "Your grandmother Su Ying is a sister. I once saved their sister's life." , so that they could form a bond."
As a god believed by monsters, it is very common for him to pray to eliminate disasters, so he just helped them so that they would not freeze to death in the wasteland because they lost their parents .After that time, they called him several times, thinking of solving everything at once, he built a paradise-like town on the wilderness of the extreme north for the sisters and other little monsters he rescued.
After the pair of sisters became the city lords, they enshrined his idol in the city, and he would come to strengthen the barrier for them at the end of every year, just to see what else he could do.Gradually, word spread that this place was blessed by the gods, and many wandering little monsters came here to make their homes here.
"Zetian never liked me hanging out with monsters, not to mention that I created a place for them to hide that he couldn't find. Every time he thought about it, he was so angry that he was going crazy."
As a god enshrined by mortals, Mr. Zetian was born to hate ghosts and evil things, and wished to eradicate them from this world. Unfortunately, he was unable to put it into action for a long time due to the double restrictions of his elder brother and the way of heaven.
"He searched for many years, and finally found the entrance of the enchantment while I was inadvertent. I tried my best and couldn't stop his crazy behavior. The whole city was burned to clean by him. The monsters can only find their own shelter again, including your grandmother and her." It was also after this incident that he began to weaken a little bit.
After listening to his immediate narration, Mu Liya lowered his head, looked at his palm, and said with a bit of frustration in his tone, "I don't know. I never heard her name from my grandmother, and I didn't even know that she had Other relatives are alive."
Grandma seldom mentioned the past, even he who was raised by her personally only knew that she had lived in the extreme north for a long time, and all he knew about this woman named Chi Jiang was behind the screen The sweet female voice and the cruel curse in the burning Zhou's ancestral hall.
Xue Zhi reached out to cover his palm, as if to comfort him not to think too much, "It's not your problem. Suying...your grandmother didn't mention her name to you just because they stopped seeing each other a long time ago. "
"Why?" Mu Liya thought for a while before he had his own answer, "Is there a disagreement?"
"Yes, they chose two completely different paths." Perhaps because he remembered many past events, Xue Zhi sighed implicitly in his words, "Even if I were to judge, I don't know which one is better."
Chi Jiang chose her own ambition, while Suying...
"I probably guessed what grandma chose." Mu Liya didn't pull back her hand, just let him hold it, "She always remembers Chengtian...your kindness, and never betrayed her."
Even if he was no longer able to provide shelter for her, she insisted on enshrining him with her own life.
"I have persuaded her more than once to stop being so stubborn, but she never listened to what I said."
Xue Zhi couldn't tell how he should mention her.
For a long time, she was just that child's grandmother to him, a kind and kind old man, but in Cheng Tianjun's memory, she has always been that little girl full of sincerity and love.
Every time he thinks this is enough, she will do it the next time, it has been like this for many years, and it has not changed.
"She's such a stubborn person, she won't look back when she decides something." Mu Liya, who understood Xue Zhi's silence, said in a low voice, "Otherwise she wouldn't have married grandfather."
Even if she is wandering in the world, it is impossible for a monster like her to live in poverty, but because she cannot communicate with ordinary people, she has been lonely and lonely until she met a young swordsmith.In her mouth, this young man was so remarkable that her whole heart fell for him.The combination of monsters and mortals is not destined to be happy, because mortals are such short-lived existences. Apart from decades of joy, the next thousand years will be spent in longing and pain.Knowing that it would end like this, she still resolutely married him and had children for him, she knew it well.
"If it were me, I would do the same thing for you." It was obviously cruel words, but Mu Liya actually laughed, "Maybe it's more than that. In order to keep you and prevent you from disappearing, I Really can do anything."
He had a somewhat indifferent expression on his face, but Xue Zhi could tell that everything he said was true.If that person was him back then, let alone offering his life, even if it was his life, he would offer it with both hands without hesitation.
"You..."
Mu Liya pretended not to understand the obstruction in his words, "I am her blood, if you want me to change my mind, you should give up."
Knowing that he couldn't persuade him, Xue Zhi's eyes darkened, "Let's go back to the original topic. I don't know when she got in touch with Ze Tianjun, otherwise she would definitely not be able to hurt me."
"But..." But doesn't Mr. Zetian hate monsters?Mu Liya couldn't figure out why she fell for this person?
"You're not wrong, this is seeking skin from a tiger, but she has been fascinated by the things Ze Tianjun promised her, and she can't think of the consequences at all."
"Why would she do such a thing?"
Xue Zhi sneered, "Because her ambition is not limited to being in power, she wants to become a god like me and Ze Tianjun."
Whether she used the lifeblood of the people in the world to set up formations, or held the royal family of the Yong Dynasty in her hands, it was all because she wanted to become the master of the world.
Mu Liya seemed shocked by the answer, and didn't speak for a long time.When he regained his strength, he asked Xue Zhi a question that had been kept in his heart all along, "Do you think we have a chance of winning?"
The more he knows the truth, the more he understands the dangers ahead. However, at the moment when the truth is revealed, he still has a little fear of her terrible ambition.
"How do you know if you don't try?"
Xue Zhi's answer did not ease the heavy stone in his heart much, but he still cheered up a little, "You are right, even if we fail, we have no way out."
If they fail, no matter whose hands this world falls into, there will only be an end of life.
Xue Zhi didn't answer any more.His eyes were a little slack, his pupils dilated into a black patch, obviously he had reached his limit.
Seeing this, Mu Liya sighed, "Anyway, it's still a few days before I arrive, so you can sleep for a while."
Cheng Tianjun, who had long expected that he would die, left his memory and part of his divine power deep in the organ.For Xue Zhi, who has inherited these, Cheng Tianjun has existed in the world since the birth of heaven and earth, and his memories are like vast oceans of water. Clear yourself whether it is in memory or in reality.
After Xue Zhi closed his eyes, Mu Liya still didn't feel sleepy.He remembered many trifles, mostly irrelevant.Before leaving, Shi Yongfu made a fortune for them, and the divination showed that the ending was nothingness.At that time, he only felt that this was an unlucky omen, but after knowing the real body of the person in front of him, he gradually realized that Cheng Tianjun is the son of heaven, and even the way of heaven does not know where they will go next. Where and how to give them hints?
Feeling a little too hot, he slightly raised the curtain to let the cold wind blow in.The cold wind blew his cheeks cold, but it couldn't blow away the worries in his heart.
……
On the outskirts of the capital, the Xuanwu Army camped.
The man with a sick face looked at General Pian who was holding a knife in front of him.
"Are you going against it?"
General Pian, who was questioned like this, refused to take back his weapon, gritted his teeth and said, "The last general is bold, please go back to the tent, and don't disappoint Zizhang's intentions."
After he said this, another young man who was following the man couldn't help but say, "Are you really going to do this?"
The man looked at them all over, "If you are afraid of death, I will go alone."
General Pian looked at him in disbelief, "That woman is waiting for you to go."
"But I can't not go." All the man said was that it seemed impossible to change his mind. "Either you come with me, or you kill me."
The two confronted each other for a long time, but General Pian still let go, "Let this subordinate accompany you."
They changed their clothes in disguise, left the forest where they were stationed from a remote place, and found the prepared carriage.
"Even if it is the middle of winter, it should be dawn at this time." Not only was there no dawn, there was not even a sign of dawn.
I don't know who said so much, after seeing the faces of other people, he quickly shut his mouth when he remembered what was going on.
On the summer solstice, the day and night are equal in length, and after that, the night will gradually surpass the day, which is normally the case.This strange thing seems to have started on the day of Lidong, and it was first discovered by embroiderers—experienced embroiderers know that the shortening of daylight is about the time it takes to finish embroidering a thread—they found that the shortening of daylight The speed suddenly increased, and then other people found out, and the panic spread rapidly, until one day, the sun never rose again, and the long night completely enveloped every inch of Tianjing.
In this never-ending long night, many people said that it was because the queen mother intervened in politics and angered the old masters, so they sent disasters to punish them.Such rumors spread more and more widely, and soon reached the ears of the big shots, but the person in the deep palace didn't bother to quell the rumors, but sent guards to suppress them severely.
As long as someone is caught talking about this matter, he will be dragged to an open area to be executed and beheaded. The severed head will be tied with hemp rope and hung on the city wall for public display.
"Stop saying such unreasonable things."
The man who took the lead looked at Venus from his memory, but there was only a heavy black cloud there, just like their fate, which was particularly ominous.
Xuan Zizhang was woken up by cold water.
"Are you awake? You'd better wake up soon, otherwise Aijia will really kill you."
It was a woman's voice, with a sweet and mellow tone, and something in it was as cold as ice, piercing straight through his consciousness.
It was better when he was unconscious, but once he woke up, the thick bloody smell would go straight into his nose, turning into pain like fire and burning his heart, he shook his head, and his sluggish mind began to function.
The first thing he thought was did he reveal himself?If it is a general, how should he deal with this situation now?
"Don't think about it, your little tricks can't fool Ai Jia." Seeing what he was thinking, the woman sneered coldly, "You are not General Xuanwu, who are you?"
See through?He was thinking drowsily, opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw a mass of burning red in the blurred double image, and it took a long time to focus on a gorgeous face.
"The last general of the Xuanwu Army, Xuan Zizhang, the left general." He panted, and answered the woman's question in a hoarse voice.
The woman understood what was going on after thinking about it for a while, "Xuan Zizhang, you are so courageous, you even dare to lie to Ai's family."
"Yeah, even the last general himself was surprised."
He finally remembered what had happened.
A few days before arriving in the capital, he couldn't bear it any longer, and plotted with General Pian all night. The two decided to add a sufficient amount of calming herbs to the general's medicine without authorization, and coaxed the general to drink it.
General Liu Pian guarded the sleeping general. He disguised himself as General Xuanwu, and then found a soldier under his command to pretend to be him, and went to Beijing to face the saint.
There is no scene to greet him in Kaesong, and there is no noisy ostentation. The only eunuch who came to greet him was dry and thin. He always looked timid and shy, and he couldn't even speak well. It always seemed eerie and treacherous to lead him here. Shuttle left and right in the palace.
It wasn't the Imperial Garden or the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He looked up at the magnificent golden nanmu plaque, on which were the three gilded characters of Xining Palace.
"What are you looking at, it's your good fortune that the Empress Dowager is willing to see you." The squeaking eunuch pouted at him eccentrically, "Go in, the Empress Dowager has been waiting for you for a long time."
Just as he thought, the so-called meeting with the Holy Majesty was just a cover, and the one who really wanted to see General Xuanwu was that woman, or the big man who the barbarian wizard said wanted to be ordered by General Xuanwu.
"Your Majesty... you want to see General Xuanwu, so what's wrong with letting you meet 'General Xuanwu'? Could it be that you want to do other things to him?" Where was the wound? It was so painful that he could only forcefully grin his mouth, "Is there anything that you must see the real General Xuanwu to do?" He emphasized the word "real", and the irony in it was self-evident .
The woman in red pulled his chin, and the sharp gold fingertips were embedded in his skin, but he was already a little numb from the pain after countless tortures, and this small injury was completely innocuous.
Smelling the smell of blood, the woman in red showed a clear expression mixed with contempt, "The bones are so hard, I thought it was something, I didn't expect it to be a little monster like you."
Xuan Zizhang, whose identity had been exposed, couldn't help smiling wryly.
The moment he stepped into the Xining Palace and felt the terrifying coercion, he understood that the most noble woman in the Yong Dynasty was not a human being, but a big monster who had lived for an unknown number of years.
Dressed in human skin as a disguise, she seduced two generations of kings with beauty and sorcery, and slowly grasped the entire country in the palm of her hand. Now she is going to extend her blood-stained hand to his general.
"You don't have to worry about a little monster like the last general."
Strictly speaking, he is indeed not an ordinary person, but the blood that belongs to monsters has been diluted a lot from generation to generation. Except for a little harmless deception, he looks no different from ordinary people.
Sure enough, he still couldn't hide it from her, but he didn't expect to be able to hide it for long.
"Everything the Ai family does is for my race." She frowned, "Since you know that the Ai family is of your own race, why do you have to fight against the Ai family?"
As if hearing something funny, Xuan Zizhang finally burst out laughing. He kept laughing until his injured internal organs were hurting. After laughing enough, he opened his mouth to the beautiful, almost coquettish woman in front of him, "Ma'am , you are of the same race as me, but what have you done for me? When I was about to die, did you ever take a look at me? In front of a noble monster like you, a half-breed bastard like me might be worthless How about, even if you die, it can only be said that you are unlucky... So what do you mean by saying that I am of the same race as you?"
Chi Jiang's eyes darkened, she seemed to be angry, and the strength in her hands gradually increased, "What do you mean? You want to face that lowly mortal?"
"The general is kind to me." He coughed for a long time, coughing up a bunch of blood foam, but he still managed to say, "The general saved my life more than once. I don't know about the same clan, I only know a general Xuanwu, He is the sky of my Xuanzizhang..."
"Then you die with him. You probably don't know, your general is already in the pocket of the Ai family."
She threw away his head, and withdrew her hand in disgust, "Ah Zhao, come in."
The old man with white beard who was waiting outside followed cautiously to serve him.
After he no longer had to run around, he finally changed into a new suit of clothes. The starched blue cloth was very scratchy, and wearing it on him made him look old and haggard, only his scarlet eyes still had some sparkle.
"You... What's the matter with you?" He could tell at a glance that the woman was in a bad mood, and he was more cautious when speaking, for fear of bumping into her who was surly.
She quickly recovered her usual calmness, "It's nothing, I asked something from that impostor."
"Then, what's the result?"
"Send the order, let the lotus slaves look for it, and I must find that man for me."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away... Also, what should I do with the counterfeit inside?"
She glanced at him, and he immediately shrank his neck, "You have been with Aijia for so long, don't you know how to do such a small thing?"
A long queue formed at the city gate of Tianjing, and when it was the plainly dressed woman's turn, the guards guarding the city gate questioned her first, and then asked the woman in white behind her to come and see.
The woman in white stretched out her hand to touch the face of the peasant woman, and leaned over to smell the scent. The peasant woman trembled in fright when she was touched, and almost fainted on the spot.
After confirming a certain information, the woman whispered something in the guard's ear.The guard guarding the city gate flinched imperceptibly, "You can... hurry up. Next!" He made an impatient expression and waved his hand towards the woman in front of him.
The distraught woman carried the bamboo basket in her hand and trotted away from the sight of this terrifying woman.
Everyone who entered and left the city was subject to such strict interrogation, but no one dared to complain, because they could see that those who complained had turned into dead heads hanging on the city wall.
Not only near the city gate, but also these women in white are everywhere on the street, wearing a white robe that only shows their eyes, and a lotus-shaped pendant, walking around like no one else.
As long as they saw their shadows from a long distance, the people on the street would quickly disperse, for fear of hitting their bad luck again.
"What the hell is this?"
In the shadow of the dark alley, there is a group of people talking quietly, while not forgetting to always be wary of the movement around them.
They are the general Xuanwu and his party who sneaked into the capital to rescue Xuan Zizhang.They simply changed their appearance and sneaked into Tianjing City when the investigation was not so strict a few days ago.
Just in the past few days, the guards in the capital suddenly became exhausted just trying to hide and prevent these women in white from tracing their whereabouts, let alone approaching the deep palace walls.
They are like the most shrewd hounds, as long as they stop for a moment, they will swarm over and tear them to pieces.
"I don't know, but it's easy to see that they're not human."
"These are the Queen Mother's subordinates?"
"General Xuan fell into the hands of these things?"
"I heard their name is Lian Nu..."
General Xuanwu listened to their discussion, and finally made a silent gesture to tell them not to make any more noise.
The only thing that is beneficial to them is that Tianjing has become a city of night where there is no day anymore. It is much better to sneak in the dark than to be exposed to the sun.
Once the lantern is lit, those terrible lotus slaves will be drawn over. They walked carefully in the dark, and when they passed a certain alley, they were immediately attracted by a stench.
"What the hell is it?" Someone went over to check what the black mass was, and why it emitted such a terrifying smell.
When he got a little closer, he could see that it was a corpse that had been devoured beyond recognition.On the battlefield, they had seen the remains of many soldiers, but none of them had been disembowelled and part of their internal organs had been taken out like this, as if some kind of large beast had eaten the leftovers.
"Those lotus slaves did it..."
"at this place!"
It was a woman's voice. All of them were shocked and looked at General Xuanwu, waiting for his next order.
They found their hiding place, fight or flight?If it is a fight, there are too many of these ghosts, if they escape... the most unfortunate thing is,
The blizzard was like a cruel beast, ruthlessly depriving her body of the last bit of heat. At first she could still hear her sister Su Ying's voice, but later she became numb to the point where only the whistling wind was left.
Will we just die like this, on this icy wasteland?While she was thinking this, she noticed someone coming towards them.
There is a kind of magical power in this person, even if she doesn't speak, just walking in this hazy snowstorm will take away her full attention.
"Are you guys calling me?"
The cold and clear voice reminded her of spring water in the mountains for no reason.
The man was wearing a wide cloak, and from the bottom up, only a pale jaw and black hair tips could be seen.
He squatted down slightly, and stretched out his hands to the two of her sisters, "It looks like you."
"Who are you?" She took a step back in a daze, "What is the relationship between you and those people..."?
"Little fox, since you don't know who I am, how did you call me?" He turned his attention to the other person who had been silent, "Did you call me?"
"Yes, it's me, but I'm just..." Su Ying was a little embarrassed when she was called.
"Who the hell are you?" She interrupted her sister's words, raised her voice and asked who the person in front of her was.
Even she herself didn't know what she was so anxious about.
"I'm the one who can help you out of the predicament in front of you." He didn't pay attention to her rebellion, and still said in a gentle tone, "You can just call me Cheng Tianjun."
Cheng Tianjun, what is this?How has she never heard of it?Another gust of snowflakes whizzed by, and she flinched imperceptibly.
Noticing this, he immediately asked, "Is it cold?"
As long as the furry original body is shown, they will naturally ignore the wind and snow, but human beings are different, human skin is smooth and naked, and she can't control the demon power well, the wind blowing on it is like a knife scraping pain.
"It's not cold, I'm not cold." She shook her head in shame and denied it. For monsters like them, admitting that they are afraid of cold is as shameful as death, because only weak mortals are afraid of cold.
"Okay, it's not cold."
Having said that, he still took off his cloak and put it on the sisters.
"Then treat me as meddling in my own business."
"Thank you Tianjun."
Sister Suying urged her to thank her quickly, but she was speechless for a long time in a daze.
"Aren't you... not cold?" She had a battle between heaven and man in her heart for a while, and this was the last thing she said.
"Don't worry about me." He walked forward without looking back, "Come with me."
The cloak looked plain, until she tentatively tried to pinch the edge, only to find that it was as smooth as water, and it slipped off quickly after reaching her hand, but with its cover, the cold wind could no longer blow on them, and it was as warm as When the mother was still alive, she transformed into a prototype and wrapped her sisters with her long and fluffy tail, so that her body that was about to freeze was relieved little by little.
Without the cloak, he looked even more thinly dressed, walking in front, blocking the cold wind for them, and preventing the snow from falling into their eyes.
She noticed that where he walked, the ice and snow melted, and green sprouts grew in the soil, vaguely showing a sign of spring.
"Do you know who he is?" She turned her attention to her sister Suying as if remembering something, "From his tone, it seems that I am the only one who doesn't know."
She had never seen such a person before, and it was obviously not very special in appearance, but it was hard to look away after just one glance.
"Ah Jiang, my mother once said that Lord Chengtian is the god that our demon clan believes in..."
What Suying said again she couldn't hear clearly.No wonder she hadn't seen it before. It turned out that this was the god in the sky. The severe cold that was about to kill her before was as docile as a wild beast that had lost its fangs and claws. Is this the power of being a god?
Thinking of this place, a strange malice appeared in her heart, and even she was startled.Why can he live so fearlessly, but they have to be in fear all day long?
He led them forward, walking and walking, as if there would never be an end.
The more she wanted to reach out to reach the corner of this man's plain clothes, the farther away this man was from her.
From the little girl who was still a bit ignorant to the present, she gradually understood that no matter how close he was to them, there was still something between him and them.
When she finally touched this person, she froze for a moment, as if she didn't know what to do.
Her palm was filled with warm and moist red liquid, and the bright red heart was still beating.Does God bleed too?She looked up and saw a pair of eyes full of indifference and contempt.
"madness."
This is the last sentence he said to her, and it is also the only serious sentence he has said in so many years.
madness.She couldn't figure it out, it was obvious that this person was defeated by her own weakness, why did she turn around and accuse her of being stupid?
"My lady, my lady, are you asleep?"
She woke up suddenly from this dream.
The scarlet curtains, the thick and substantial aroma bubbling from the golden incense burner with animal heads, and the high window lattices carved with flowers and birds can't see a ray of skylight.
This is the Xining Palace, and she is the most honorable woman in this deep palace, at least for now.
"Wake up Aijia specially, what's the matter?"
The kneeling man in front of him was dressed in a white-washed blue cloth dress, so plain and shabby that he couldn't fit in this luxurious and splendid palace.
His hair was completely white, and his whole body looked older than then. He was cringing, and his neck seemed to be unable to straighten forever.
But this can't be blamed on him. First, he barely escaped the fate of losing his head in the hands of the young master of the Mu family, but lost a tail, and was sent to test General Xuanwu, and was bumped into in his camp. It's like a candle in the wind, and it can't stand a little bit of wear and tear.
"Another formation has been broken. Together with the Huguo Temple, there are only the last two left."
Originally these formations were guarded by the demon monk Langxue, but Langxue died in that tower, so it was his turn to do these things.
On the one hand, he was trembling, but on the other hand, he was secretly proud that his master trusted him so much.
She pressed her forehead, as if she was very tired, "Let's break it, anyway, I have almost all the things I want."
While they were talking, there was a sudden burst of noise from the other side of the half-drawn curtain.
"Ah, there are people..." He just noticed a person sitting in a dimly lit place. Because of the angle, he could only see a piece of bright yellow clothes.
Noticing that the woman's eyes were as cold as ice, he immediately stopped talking, not even daring to breathe.
"Ah-jun, A-jun, are you alright... I can't wait for you, I'm so scared, so scared."
"Wait a little longer, and I will come to accompany you after a little longer." She slowed down her tone, but he still keenly heard the trace of impatience hidden underneath, "Emperor, no one is going to harm you, what are you doing?" What are you afraid of?"
The man behind the curtain thought hard as if he was being questioned by her, and finally hesitantly murmured, "I don't know, I'm just afraid... I always feel that something wants my life, and this thing is in front of me. By my side, staring at me all the time. Can you come and accompany me? I won’t be afraid when you are by my side.”
"Emperor, no one wants to harm you." She closed her eyes, "at least not yet. If you are still afraid, then use some Changshengsan. I put it in the sandalwood box by your hand, and the pipe is also It’s ready for you. Remember it, only use a little, if you let me know that you use too much, you will know the consequences.”
"Okay, Changshengsan, Changshengsan, I really can't live without it for a moment... Arjun, you'd better hurry up, I'm so scared, I need you by my side."
There was a rustling sound from over there, and the strong scent of phoenix marrow was suddenly mixed with the faint scent of mandala.
After a while, the Ninth Five Lord no longer said childish words, but calmed down, as if falling asleep.
"I can't believe it, right? Weak, sensitive, surly and suspicious, even if you are born into an ordinary family, it doesn't seem like you can achieve great things, let alone the king of a country." After finally dealing with this big trouble, she picked up the case book There was a gold thread inlaid emerald earring that I forgot to put away, and I looked carefully at the faint candlelight, "This is the blood of Yan Yunting, you can't see the shadow of that damned man at all, right? "
This emerald was a rare tribute, even under the candlelight, there was no trace of blemish. It was so green that it reminded her of someone's eyes.
I don't know why she suddenly mentioned this, the old fox answered hesitantly, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Yes, it's a good thing, of course it's a good thing."
For a long time in the past, she had been faintly worried, what would happen if there was a second Yan Yunting?
Until she met the first emperor for the first time, she almost laughed out loud.Tiandao finally stood on Li's side. During the more than a hundred years of recharging his energy, the royal family of the Yong Dynasty had fallen so thoroughly.
She easily grasped the lifeblood of the entire country in her hands.Those long-bearded civil servants in the court presented memorials one after another, begging the emperor to be in charge of the emperor in a slightly gentler way, and begging the emperor to pass on the throne and the eldest prince directly in a more forceful manner.Interfering with Chao Gang and plotting wrongdoing?She couldn't help laughing every time she thought about the words they used to impeach her.Could it be this vain and insignificant right that she wanted?
"How long...how long?"
She glanced at the old fox, her red lips parted slightly, "Soon, very soon."
"I can't remember how many years I have waited for. Compared with all the years I have waited for, these few days are nothing at all."
"All the waiting is worth it. Soon, I will become the new god." She slowly crushed the emerald green jadeite into powder, her smile became colder and colder against the candlelight, "and the only one. "
The author says:
Queen Mother officially enters the main line
In the wilderness forest, a carriage galloped in the deep night, the speed was so fast that only the afterimage it left behind could be captured.
Unlike ordinary carriages, the front of this carriage is empty, neither the driver nor the horse can be seen, only the suspended reins and a few neat rows of footprints on the snow prove from the side that it is being dragged by some invisible animal move forward.
As for the charcoal basin in the car, it was burning vigorously, and the warm heat made people drowsy.Mu Liya was leaning on the couch, unconsciously playing with something in his hands, and if he looked carefully, he could find that it was one of the seven copper coins Shi Yongfu left him.
The blood on the sixth copper coin is still very bright, which means that He Yaosugu and the others have not yet succeeded.He collected the copper coins into the kit, and the array was arranged strictly in a certain order. As long as the sixth office was still alive, they could not do anything to the thing sealed in the Huguo Temple.
At present, there is only one thing they can do besides waiting, and that is to find the person who set up the formation to solve everything from the source, so they left the void and rushed towards the capital without stopping. Not even a day's rest.
"If you keep going at this speed, you can reach Tianjing in about three or four days."
His contemplation was interrupted, and he began to look at the speaker.
Xue Zhi was also looking at him, his expression made him feel familiar yet unfamiliar.The familiar part belongs to the young man who grew up with him, while the unfamiliar part belongs to Cheng Tianjun who once had a relationship with him.
"I'm not worried about this. I'm thinking about what you said to me during the day." He withdrew his thoughts, and simply told Xue Zhi something he couldn't figure out, "I always thought it was your brother Zetian Jun who killed you." You fell into a mortal, but you told me that was not the case, and someone else caused you. Do you know her identity?"
The woman in red who came to visit in summer, Cheng Tianjun who disappeared quietly, and the massacre of the Mu family, three seemingly unrelated things are all connected so far, and the truth he is looking for is close at hand.
"Her name is Chi Jiang," Xue Zhi said in a very ordinary tone, as if he was not talking about his murderous enemy, but some insignificant person. "Your grandmother Su Ying is a sister. I once saved their sister's life." , so that they could form a bond."
As a god believed by monsters, it is very common for him to pray to eliminate disasters, so he just helped them so that they would not freeze to death in the wasteland because they lost their parents .After that time, they called him several times, thinking of solving everything at once, he built a paradise-like town on the wilderness of the extreme north for the sisters and other little monsters he rescued.
After the pair of sisters became the city lords, they enshrined his idol in the city, and he would come to strengthen the barrier for them at the end of every year, just to see what else he could do.Gradually, word spread that this place was blessed by the gods, and many wandering little monsters came here to make their homes here.
"Zetian never liked me hanging out with monsters, not to mention that I created a place for them to hide that he couldn't find. Every time he thought about it, he was so angry that he was going crazy."
As a god enshrined by mortals, Mr. Zetian was born to hate ghosts and evil things, and wished to eradicate them from this world. Unfortunately, he was unable to put it into action for a long time due to the double restrictions of his elder brother and the way of heaven.
"He searched for many years, and finally found the entrance of the enchantment while I was inadvertent. I tried my best and couldn't stop his crazy behavior. The whole city was burned to clean by him. The monsters can only find their own shelter again, including your grandmother and her." It was also after this incident that he began to weaken a little bit.
After listening to his immediate narration, Mu Liya lowered his head, looked at his palm, and said with a bit of frustration in his tone, "I don't know. I never heard her name from my grandmother, and I didn't even know that she had Other relatives are alive."
Grandma seldom mentioned the past, even he who was raised by her personally only knew that she had lived in the extreme north for a long time, and all he knew about this woman named Chi Jiang was behind the screen The sweet female voice and the cruel curse in the burning Zhou's ancestral hall.
Xue Zhi reached out to cover his palm, as if to comfort him not to think too much, "It's not your problem. Suying...your grandmother didn't mention her name to you just because they stopped seeing each other a long time ago. "
"Why?" Mu Liya thought for a while before he had his own answer, "Is there a disagreement?"
"Yes, they chose two completely different paths." Perhaps because he remembered many past events, Xue Zhi sighed implicitly in his words, "Even if I were to judge, I don't know which one is better."
Chi Jiang chose her own ambition, while Suying...
"I probably guessed what grandma chose." Mu Liya didn't pull back her hand, just let him hold it, "She always remembers Chengtian...your kindness, and never betrayed her."
Even if he was no longer able to provide shelter for her, she insisted on enshrining him with her own life.
"I have persuaded her more than once to stop being so stubborn, but she never listened to what I said."
Xue Zhi couldn't tell how he should mention her.
For a long time, she was just that child's grandmother to him, a kind and kind old man, but in Cheng Tianjun's memory, she has always been that little girl full of sincerity and love.
Every time he thinks this is enough, she will do it the next time, it has been like this for many years, and it has not changed.
"She's such a stubborn person, she won't look back when she decides something." Mu Liya, who understood Xue Zhi's silence, said in a low voice, "Otherwise she wouldn't have married grandfather."
Even if she is wandering in the world, it is impossible for a monster like her to live in poverty, but because she cannot communicate with ordinary people, she has been lonely and lonely until she met a young swordsmith.In her mouth, this young man was so remarkable that her whole heart fell for him.The combination of monsters and mortals is not destined to be happy, because mortals are such short-lived existences. Apart from decades of joy, the next thousand years will be spent in longing and pain.Knowing that it would end like this, she still resolutely married him and had children for him, she knew it well.
"If it were me, I would do the same thing for you." It was obviously cruel words, but Mu Liya actually laughed, "Maybe it's more than that. In order to keep you and prevent you from disappearing, I Really can do anything."
He had a somewhat indifferent expression on his face, but Xue Zhi could tell that everything he said was true.If that person was him back then, let alone offering his life, even if it was his life, he would offer it with both hands without hesitation.
"You..."
Mu Liya pretended not to understand the obstruction in his words, "I am her blood, if you want me to change my mind, you should give up."
Knowing that he couldn't persuade him, Xue Zhi's eyes darkened, "Let's go back to the original topic. I don't know when she got in touch with Ze Tianjun, otherwise she would definitely not be able to hurt me."
"But..." But doesn't Mr. Zetian hate monsters?Mu Liya couldn't figure out why she fell for this person?
"You're not wrong, this is seeking skin from a tiger, but she has been fascinated by the things Ze Tianjun promised her, and she can't think of the consequences at all."
"Why would she do such a thing?"
Xue Zhi sneered, "Because her ambition is not limited to being in power, she wants to become a god like me and Ze Tianjun."
Whether she used the lifeblood of the people in the world to set up formations, or held the royal family of the Yong Dynasty in her hands, it was all because she wanted to become the master of the world.
Mu Liya seemed shocked by the answer, and didn't speak for a long time.When he regained his strength, he asked Xue Zhi a question that had been kept in his heart all along, "Do you think we have a chance of winning?"
The more he knows the truth, the more he understands the dangers ahead. However, at the moment when the truth is revealed, he still has a little fear of her terrible ambition.
"How do you know if you don't try?"
Xue Zhi's answer did not ease the heavy stone in his heart much, but he still cheered up a little, "You are right, even if we fail, we have no way out."
If they fail, no matter whose hands this world falls into, there will only be an end of life.
Xue Zhi didn't answer any more.His eyes were a little slack, his pupils dilated into a black patch, obviously he had reached his limit.
Seeing this, Mu Liya sighed, "Anyway, it's still a few days before I arrive, so you can sleep for a while."
Cheng Tianjun, who had long expected that he would die, left his memory and part of his divine power deep in the organ.For Xue Zhi, who has inherited these, Cheng Tianjun has existed in the world since the birth of heaven and earth, and his memories are like vast oceans of water. Clear yourself whether it is in memory or in reality.
After Xue Zhi closed his eyes, Mu Liya still didn't feel sleepy.He remembered many trifles, mostly irrelevant.Before leaving, Shi Yongfu made a fortune for them, and the divination showed that the ending was nothingness.At that time, he only felt that this was an unlucky omen, but after knowing the real body of the person in front of him, he gradually realized that Cheng Tianjun is the son of heaven, and even the way of heaven does not know where they will go next. Where and how to give them hints?
Feeling a little too hot, he slightly raised the curtain to let the cold wind blow in.The cold wind blew his cheeks cold, but it couldn't blow away the worries in his heart.
……
On the outskirts of the capital, the Xuanwu Army camped.
The man with a sick face looked at General Pian who was holding a knife in front of him.
"Are you going against it?"
General Pian, who was questioned like this, refused to take back his weapon, gritted his teeth and said, "The last general is bold, please go back to the tent, and don't disappoint Zizhang's intentions."
After he said this, another young man who was following the man couldn't help but say, "Are you really going to do this?"
The man looked at them all over, "If you are afraid of death, I will go alone."
General Pian looked at him in disbelief, "That woman is waiting for you to go."
"But I can't not go." All the man said was that it seemed impossible to change his mind. "Either you come with me, or you kill me."
The two confronted each other for a long time, but General Pian still let go, "Let this subordinate accompany you."
They changed their clothes in disguise, left the forest where they were stationed from a remote place, and found the prepared carriage.
"Even if it is the middle of winter, it should be dawn at this time." Not only was there no dawn, there was not even a sign of dawn.
I don't know who said so much, after seeing the faces of other people, he quickly shut his mouth when he remembered what was going on.
On the summer solstice, the day and night are equal in length, and after that, the night will gradually surpass the day, which is normally the case.This strange thing seems to have started on the day of Lidong, and it was first discovered by embroiderers—experienced embroiderers know that the shortening of daylight is about the time it takes to finish embroidering a thread—they found that the shortening of daylight The speed suddenly increased, and then other people found out, and the panic spread rapidly, until one day, the sun never rose again, and the long night completely enveloped every inch of Tianjing.
In this never-ending long night, many people said that it was because the queen mother intervened in politics and angered the old masters, so they sent disasters to punish them.Such rumors spread more and more widely, and soon reached the ears of the big shots, but the person in the deep palace didn't bother to quell the rumors, but sent guards to suppress them severely.
As long as someone is caught talking about this matter, he will be dragged to an open area to be executed and beheaded. The severed head will be tied with hemp rope and hung on the city wall for public display.
"Stop saying such unreasonable things."
The man who took the lead looked at Venus from his memory, but there was only a heavy black cloud there, just like their fate, which was particularly ominous.
Xuan Zizhang was woken up by cold water.
"Are you awake? You'd better wake up soon, otherwise Aijia will really kill you."
It was a woman's voice, with a sweet and mellow tone, and something in it was as cold as ice, piercing straight through his consciousness.
It was better when he was unconscious, but once he woke up, the thick bloody smell would go straight into his nose, turning into pain like fire and burning his heart, he shook his head, and his sluggish mind began to function.
The first thing he thought was did he reveal himself?If it is a general, how should he deal with this situation now?
"Don't think about it, your little tricks can't fool Ai Jia." Seeing what he was thinking, the woman sneered coldly, "You are not General Xuanwu, who are you?"
See through?He was thinking drowsily, opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw a mass of burning red in the blurred double image, and it took a long time to focus on a gorgeous face.
"The last general of the Xuanwu Army, Xuan Zizhang, the left general." He panted, and answered the woman's question in a hoarse voice.
The woman understood what was going on after thinking about it for a while, "Xuan Zizhang, you are so courageous, you even dare to lie to Ai's family."
"Yeah, even the last general himself was surprised."
He finally remembered what had happened.
A few days before arriving in the capital, he couldn't bear it any longer, and plotted with General Pian all night. The two decided to add a sufficient amount of calming herbs to the general's medicine without authorization, and coaxed the general to drink it.
General Liu Pian guarded the sleeping general. He disguised himself as General Xuanwu, and then found a soldier under his command to pretend to be him, and went to Beijing to face the saint.
There is no scene to greet him in Kaesong, and there is no noisy ostentation. The only eunuch who came to greet him was dry and thin. He always looked timid and shy, and he couldn't even speak well. It always seemed eerie and treacherous to lead him here. Shuttle left and right in the palace.
It wasn't the Imperial Garden or the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He looked up at the magnificent golden nanmu plaque, on which were the three gilded characters of Xining Palace.
"What are you looking at, it's your good fortune that the Empress Dowager is willing to see you." The squeaking eunuch pouted at him eccentrically, "Go in, the Empress Dowager has been waiting for you for a long time."
Just as he thought, the so-called meeting with the Holy Majesty was just a cover, and the one who really wanted to see General Xuanwu was that woman, or the big man who the barbarian wizard said wanted to be ordered by General Xuanwu.
"Your Majesty... you want to see General Xuanwu, so what's wrong with letting you meet 'General Xuanwu'? Could it be that you want to do other things to him?" Where was the wound? It was so painful that he could only forcefully grin his mouth, "Is there anything that you must see the real General Xuanwu to do?" He emphasized the word "real", and the irony in it was self-evident .
The woman in red pulled his chin, and the sharp gold fingertips were embedded in his skin, but he was already a little numb from the pain after countless tortures, and this small injury was completely innocuous.
Smelling the smell of blood, the woman in red showed a clear expression mixed with contempt, "The bones are so hard, I thought it was something, I didn't expect it to be a little monster like you."
Xuan Zizhang, whose identity had been exposed, couldn't help smiling wryly.
The moment he stepped into the Xining Palace and felt the terrifying coercion, he understood that the most noble woman in the Yong Dynasty was not a human being, but a big monster who had lived for an unknown number of years.
Dressed in human skin as a disguise, she seduced two generations of kings with beauty and sorcery, and slowly grasped the entire country in the palm of her hand. Now she is going to extend her blood-stained hand to his general.
"You don't have to worry about a little monster like the last general."
Strictly speaking, he is indeed not an ordinary person, but the blood that belongs to monsters has been diluted a lot from generation to generation. Except for a little harmless deception, he looks no different from ordinary people.
Sure enough, he still couldn't hide it from her, but he didn't expect to be able to hide it for long.
"Everything the Ai family does is for my race." She frowned, "Since you know that the Ai family is of your own race, why do you have to fight against the Ai family?"
As if hearing something funny, Xuan Zizhang finally burst out laughing. He kept laughing until his injured internal organs were hurting. After laughing enough, he opened his mouth to the beautiful, almost coquettish woman in front of him, "Ma'am , you are of the same race as me, but what have you done for me? When I was about to die, did you ever take a look at me? In front of a noble monster like you, a half-breed bastard like me might be worthless How about, even if you die, it can only be said that you are unlucky... So what do you mean by saying that I am of the same race as you?"
Chi Jiang's eyes darkened, she seemed to be angry, and the strength in her hands gradually increased, "What do you mean? You want to face that lowly mortal?"
"The general is kind to me." He coughed for a long time, coughing up a bunch of blood foam, but he still managed to say, "The general saved my life more than once. I don't know about the same clan, I only know a general Xuanwu, He is the sky of my Xuanzizhang..."
"Then you die with him. You probably don't know, your general is already in the pocket of the Ai family."
She threw away his head, and withdrew her hand in disgust, "Ah Zhao, come in."
The old man with white beard who was waiting outside followed cautiously to serve him.
After he no longer had to run around, he finally changed into a new suit of clothes. The starched blue cloth was very scratchy, and wearing it on him made him look old and haggard, only his scarlet eyes still had some sparkle.
"You... What's the matter with you?" He could tell at a glance that the woman was in a bad mood, and he was more cautious when speaking, for fear of bumping into her who was surly.
She quickly recovered her usual calmness, "It's nothing, I asked something from that impostor."
"Then, what's the result?"
"Send the order, let the lotus slaves look for it, and I must find that man for me."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away... Also, what should I do with the counterfeit inside?"
She glanced at him, and he immediately shrank his neck, "You have been with Aijia for so long, don't you know how to do such a small thing?"
A long queue formed at the city gate of Tianjing, and when it was the plainly dressed woman's turn, the guards guarding the city gate questioned her first, and then asked the woman in white behind her to come and see.
The woman in white stretched out her hand to touch the face of the peasant woman, and leaned over to smell the scent. The peasant woman trembled in fright when she was touched, and almost fainted on the spot.
After confirming a certain information, the woman whispered something in the guard's ear.The guard guarding the city gate flinched imperceptibly, "You can... hurry up. Next!" He made an impatient expression and waved his hand towards the woman in front of him.
The distraught woman carried the bamboo basket in her hand and trotted away from the sight of this terrifying woman.
Everyone who entered and left the city was subject to such strict interrogation, but no one dared to complain, because they could see that those who complained had turned into dead heads hanging on the city wall.
Not only near the city gate, but also these women in white are everywhere on the street, wearing a white robe that only shows their eyes, and a lotus-shaped pendant, walking around like no one else.
As long as they saw their shadows from a long distance, the people on the street would quickly disperse, for fear of hitting their bad luck again.
"What the hell is this?"
In the shadow of the dark alley, there is a group of people talking quietly, while not forgetting to always be wary of the movement around them.
They are the general Xuanwu and his party who sneaked into the capital to rescue Xuan Zizhang.They simply changed their appearance and sneaked into Tianjing City when the investigation was not so strict a few days ago.
Just in the past few days, the guards in the capital suddenly became exhausted just trying to hide and prevent these women in white from tracing their whereabouts, let alone approaching the deep palace walls.
They are like the most shrewd hounds, as long as they stop for a moment, they will swarm over and tear them to pieces.
"I don't know, but it's easy to see that they're not human."
"These are the Queen Mother's subordinates?"
"General Xuan fell into the hands of these things?"
"I heard their name is Lian Nu..."
General Xuanwu listened to their discussion, and finally made a silent gesture to tell them not to make any more noise.
The only thing that is beneficial to them is that Tianjing has become a city of night where there is no day anymore. It is much better to sneak in the dark than to be exposed to the sun.
Once the lantern is lit, those terrible lotus slaves will be drawn over. They walked carefully in the dark, and when they passed a certain alley, they were immediately attracted by a stench.
"What the hell is it?" Someone went over to check what the black mass was, and why it emitted such a terrifying smell.
When he got a little closer, he could see that it was a corpse that had been devoured beyond recognition.On the battlefield, they had seen the remains of many soldiers, but none of them had been disembowelled and part of their internal organs had been taken out like this, as if some kind of large beast had eaten the leftovers.
"Those lotus slaves did it..."
"at this place!"
It was a woman's voice. All of them were shocked and looked at General Xuanwu, waiting for his next order.
They found their hiding place, fight or flight?If it is a fight, there are too many of these ghosts, if they escape... the most unfortunate thing is,
