Just when everyone was packing everything and preparing to go to Qijue Palace, Zhang Yunyuan ran back from the camp.

"Zhang Yunyuan, what happened? Did Tuyu bring the giant scorpion to attack you?" Long Jiaojiao looked anxiously at Zhang Yunyuan who looked frightened and asked.

"No, Leopard's old illness has relapsed. You guys should go and have a look." Zhang Yunyuan replied with a tearful voice and choked with sobs.

"Okay, we get it." Long Jiaojiao quickly helped Zhang Yunyuan up.

"It seems that our plan has to be postponed. It's all my fault that I forgot. The dragon bell is on Mei Xichen's body. If Mei Xichen is not there, the leopard will naturally attack at any time." Long Jiaojiao blamed herself very much. said.

"What are you talking about? Come and have a look." Shangguan Ying was the first to rush out.

It didn't take long for everyone to go from the palace to Zhang Yunyuan's residence, because after the capture of Yagong, Kyoto and Xuanzhe each obtained the territory to the east and west, so the border was extended to ten kilometers away from the palace. The palace is a buffer zone just like the high seas. Although Zhang Yunyuan's residence has not been moved, it is only a day's walk for a normal person from the palace.

When everyone opened the door, they were instantly frightened by the scene in front of them. There were more than twenty corpses lying on the ground, and Xueer was lying under the tree where the leopard was tied.

"Xue'er, how are you?" Zhang Yunyuan shook Xue'er's body like crazy, but there was still no response.

Long Jiaojiao touched Xue'er's nose and said, "Zhang Yunyuan Xue'er has left."

At this time, Long Jiaojiao's nose was sore and she couldn't bear to look at her. She turned her head and ran into Shu Rong's arms and cried loudly.

"Xue'er, you can't leave me like this. You were fine yesterday. It's all my fault. I should be by your side." Zhang Yunyuan lost control of his emotions and hugged Xue'er and cried loudly.

The fates of Zhang Yunyuan and Xueer seemed to be in accordance with the old grandmother's words. If they were not separated for three years, they would definitely be separated. Sure enough, a fire brought her and Zhang Yunyuan back together, but it didn't take long for them to be separated. . So there must be a certain number somewhere.

"Where's the eldest sister?" At this time, Rongruo who was standing by noticed that Shangguan Ying was missing and immediately shouted.

"Oops, she must have gone to find the leopard." Shangguanhong hurriedly walked out of the courtyard without thinking much. Xuantai saw Shangguanhong chasing after him and followed him.

Rongruo was very close to Xue'er and Bing'er, so she pulled Zhang Yunyuan aside and comforted: "Maybe this is Xue'er's doom. Yunyuan, please calm down your emotions first. We have to bury her properly. If you are in this situation, who will do the rest?"

"Are there still so many soldiers at the border that you don't care about? The families of the more than 20 soldiers in this compound still need you to comfort them. Stand up."

"I know Princess, I will cheer up. I will cut that old ghost into pieces." Zhang Yunyuan's eyes turned red from crying, and he walked up to Xue'er and hugged her.

Shu Rong saw that Zhang Yunyuan really couldn't deal with the matters at hand in this state, so he patted Long Jiaojiao and told her to stop crying, and he helped arrange Xue'er's funeral.

Long Jiaojiao naturally understood Shu Rong. She nodded and let go of Shu Rong's hand and stood aside.

Shu Rong turned to Daying and called for people to make arrangements for the funeral.

Shangguan Ying, Shangguan Hong and Xuantai searched for a long time but found no trace of the leopard. They were afraid that his return to Zhang Yunyuan's mansion would threaten the safety of others, so the three of them returned together after discussion.

"Why haven't you found anyone?" Long Jiaojiao asked.

"No." Shangguanhong shook his head.

"That's too bad. Not only do we have to deal with Tu Yu and Giant Scorpion, but we also have another leopard in front of us." Long Jiaojiao sighed.

"Don't worry about it now. I can't go far with the leopard. Let's just stay here and wait for him." Xuantai said after thinking for a moment.

At this time, Shu Rong called many guards. They cleaned up the compound, carried all the corpses out and sent them to the camp. They announced that they were killed in battle, and then sent General He to call their families to claim them and gave them many gifts. Yinliang also held a ceremony for him. There is no need to go into details. Shu Rong personally selected the coffins and decorated the mourning hall. The whole process was very fast and all aspects were taken care of easily.

"Second sister, it's all my fault. I couldn't turn on the dragon bell that day, otherwise nothing would have happened to Xue'er." Long Jiaojiao hugged Shangguanhong and blamed herself.

"How can I blame you? If it can't be opened, it can't be opened. Just let nature take its course. I think Xueer Quanxia Youzhi will definitely bless us and let us avenge her smoothly." Shangguanhong stroked Long Jiaojiao's head to comfort her. road.

The funeral lasted for seven days, but what was strange was that Xuantai stayed here for seven days without even seeing the shadow of the leopard.

Just like that, after everything was over, no one knew what to do. If we go to Qijue Palace as planned, what if the leopard comes here again? If we sit back and wait here, when will it end?

"Brother-in-law, do you think that Leopard thinks there are too many of us, so he never shows up?" Shu Rong frowned and became concerned.

"You mean, use me as bait to fish him out?" Xuantai asked with a sneer.

"Well, brother-in-law, don't speak so harshly. It's just that the leopard won't show up if you don't go out." Shu Rong looked at Xuantai in embarrassment and said.

"You have a good idea, I think so too."

"No, you didn't see it when he had an attack of madness last time. Xuantai couldn't subdue him at all. I don't agree." Shangguan Hong quickly answered.

"How about this? I'll go find Mei Xichen and ask for Long Ling." Long Jiaojiao looked at Shu Rong as if asking for his opinion.

"I agree with Longling, but let me go. It's more convenient for me to go." Shu Rong couldn't find any suitable reason at this time and had to say casually.

"What time is it, Shu Rong? What are you thinking about all day long?" Long Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm not very good at it, so I can just run some errands, so I think it's more appropriate for me to go." Shu Rong lowered his head and coughed.

"I think it's most appropriate for him, a loser, to go. Fourth sister, just let him go." Shangguan Ying paused and said.

"Sister, Shu Rong is a mortal. What if we encounter Tuyu or other emergencies along the way?" Long Jiaojiao frowned, a worried expression covering her entire face.

"Oh, after all, you are mainly worried about the safety of this good-for-nothing like him?" Shangguan Ying said angrily.

"Okay, if you don't let him go, I will go faster than him." After saying that, the eldest sister disappeared in front of everyone.

"Long'er, are you worried about me that's why you won't let me go?" Shu Rong walked up to Long Jiaojiao and asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid that if you and Mei Xichen get into a fight, then things won't work out." After saying that, Long Jiaojiao glanced at him and turned to leave.
