The black cat is on top, the evil spirits retreat

The two big characters "Jincheng" on the city wall have gone through the baptism of wind and frost, and the mottled traces reveal a sense of eternity. Junheng took the reins and stopped in front of the city gate. , there are inspectors at the door carefully staring at the faces of every passer-by, and there are tables and chairs beside him, and a person wearing a felt hat sits, who looks like either a scholar or a doctor.

Shu Tian also got out of the car, and Chu Xi lifted the curtain of the car with Dan Kou's bluish-white fingers, and they stopped without warning, not knowing what was going on ahead.

"Let's go and have a look first." Qing Wu and Qing Yun jumped out of the carriage and followed the queue to the gate of the city.

Qingyun took out his waist card with a sullen face, and there were two dragons soaring in the clouds, the whole body was gilded, the two city gate guards panicked, this waist card was only available to people in the deep palace, they immediately knelt down.

"Get up." Qingyun signaled them to stand up, and began to interrogate: "Why is there a checkpoint check here?"

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them explained in a low voice: "A while ago, there were wild beasts in the city, and the people who were bitten were just like wild beasts...they can bite!"

Since then, checkpoints have been set up here to prevent people who have been bitten from sneaking into the city.It happened a long time ago, but their generals have always been very cautious in order to protect the people in the city.

Qingyun frowned when he heard that, if he was bitten by a wild beast, would he turn into a wild beast? "It's just nonsense!"

"Oh, don't you believe it!" Another guard looked bitter, and leaned closer to Qingyun: "I, I really saw it!"

Qingyun looked back at Chu Xi, seeing that she didn't show any signs of impatience, so he thought it would be better to finish listening.

"That thing has terrible fangs. I haven't caught it yet, but the people who have been bitten by it have become like that thing and have learned to bite people!"

"I swear!" He raised his hand, licked his lips nervously, and said, "This is absolutely true. If you don't believe it—you can go to the prison of the general who defends the city!"

It's scary to look at it, the skin on the body is a little festered, exuding a disgusting stench, but the whole person is alive and well, if it weren't for the general's martial arts skills, the whole city might have turned into wild beasts now!

Qingyun Qingwu waved his hands, indicating that they could leave, and when they turned around to go back to report, they looked at each other in disbelief.

"What's going on?" Chu Xi asked, seeing the embarrassment on their faces.

"It is said that wild beasts came out to bite people at night, but the beasts were not caught. They set up checkpoints to separate those who might be bitten, so as not to poison the people in the city."

Jun Heng looked back at Rong Li, and frowned at the same time.

Sounds a lot like a living corpse...

Even here, instead of premeditated targeting him in Yin County?

Then I heard Qingwu say: "The two guards said... the general who defended the city caught a man who was bitten by a wild animal and put him in prison."

Chu Xi pursed her lips, met Shang Rongli's gaze, and said seriously, "Let's go to the jail now!"

She met Wu Sanmu, the general guarding the city of Jincheng, once in the capital. He is a talented person with both civil and military skills.But why it was placed in Qianzhou, which is far away from the imperial court, Chu Xi never figured it out.

After asking passers-by, they went straight to Wu Sanmu's mansion.

The two guards at the door quickly went in and finished reporting. When they came out, a man in a plain shirt walked in front of him, with a delicate and elegant saber pinned to his waist.He looks like he is only young, but he has an inch-long beard with a gangster look.

Looking at the group of people waiting at the door with piercing eyes, he saluted with experienced movements, and said respectfully: "I don't know if the princess is here, so I welcome you from a distance!"

Chu Xi nodded, and said bluntly: "There is no need to be strict, I heard the emperor's brother talk about the general, and today I just passed by here, but I heard some wild beasts, I just want to ask clearly."

Wu Sanmu looked past her, swept across Junheng and Rongli without any trace, and then glanced at the street, and asked with a smile: "Princess, are you sure you want to explore here?" After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, Welcome them back to the mansion to talk.

Chu Xi nodded towards Rongli and followed inside.For Jun Heng who was beside him, he also glanced slightly, some questions gradually matched with the faint answers in her heart, and she was firmly pressed in her heart.

Wu Sanmu looked at the few people present, and asked in a calm manner: "Look at the princess, how many people are busy..."

"We're about to enter Beijing... General, why don't you tell us about this beast..." Chu Xi said, this should be something that Rongli is more concerned about.

Wu Sanmu frowned, his expression became serious for a moment, and the line of his lips was somewhat cold. "This matter... I have reported it to the Holy One."

Chu Xi looked at him, waiting for his next words.

"This happened more than a month ago, and this kind of thing has never happened again. The strange thing is that the thing called a monster is actually a person. When it was spread in the market, they were The appearance of a person who is frightened and bitten is called a beast."

"That's it."

Wu Sanmu sighed, the person who was bitten was the watchman at that time. "and--"

"What makes Weichen even more strange is...that he is afraid of light, which is really unbelievable."

Rong Li sat on Jun Heng's lap, although he had already expected it to be a living corpse, and it was a month ago, just not long after the living corpse was found in Yin County...

"That's right." Chu Xi murmured, so whether the capital also appeared, the more she thought about it, the more her eyebrows sank.

Hearing her voice, Wu Sanmu sensed helplessness and worry, and saw her frowning deeply.The boy in blue standing aside and the two sitting on the chair remained expressionless, as if they were not afraid at all, which made him a little curious.

So Wei Wei nodded politely at them and asked, "I don't know who these two are?"

Although Chu Xi knew the general's reputation, the less people knew about Rongli's identity, the safer he would be.

"Friend." Chu Xi didn't want him to focus on Rongli, and bring the topic to those living corpses. "I heard that the general put the bitten person in jail?"

Wu Sanmu nodded, "It was arrested, but it was already dead, it was sunburned..." He saw it with his own eyes when he was escorting him back to the prison.

"Where is the one that bit people?" Rong Li asked suddenly, among the living corpses that appeared in Yin County, there were different kinds of living corpses mixed in, among them there were many century-old corpses that were invulnerable.

Wu Sanmu took a look at him, and with a half-question of the falcon, he still explained the situation in detail, "When it was about to dawn, I was on duty with the soldiers patrolling the city. His speed was so fast that he Ran."

Since then, it has never appeared again.

"If that's the case, we won't bother you any more." Chu Xi just wanted to go to Beijing as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Wu Sanmu followed Chu Xi to stand up, and asked calmly, "Do you need to send more people to escort the princess to Beijing?"

"No need." Xiao Shen'er and his... that cat are on the way, so nothing will happen.

After thinking about it for a while, his eyes fell on the figure who had gone out again. Except for the person in his arms, it seemed that nothing in this world could enter his eyes...

She has also seen his gentle eyebrows. Under the willow hanging on the Hungry Ghost Festival, the lights on the other side reflected on that handsome face. When Xiao Shen'er touched the corner of his lips, his eyes It is full of tenderness.

She was a little dazed looking at it for a while, and she didn't move in a daze. She thought she still needed time to accept certain things.

Qingyun and Qingwu glanced at each other suspiciously. Wu Sanmu stood behind her and hadn't seen her for a long time, while the other three had already gone out, so they couldn't help reminding her: "Princess?"

Clenching her fists, Chu Xi came back to her senses, her face turned pale, and she said without turning her head, "There is no need to send the general away."

"Yes."

With a sigh in his heart, Chu Xi stepped forward.Shaking his head, shaking off the distracting thoughts in his mind, as soon as he went out, he saw Jun Heng sitting on the horse, glanced at him lightly, and shifted his gaze guiltily.

Does she know something...

Rong Li sat in front of Jun Heng and was held in his arms.Withdrawing his gaze from Chu Xi, he took all of her panicked eyes into his eyes.

Then the hand in front of him tightened, the cool wind blew on his face, the horse's hooves galloped, galloped forward, and rushed on the street, causing a heated discussion.

Shu Tian followed closely behind, and the next stop was Qianzhou, and they should be able to get there just in time before it got dark.
