Anecdotes with facial paralyzed subordinates

When Zhao Xuehan woke up, the sun was already high.

He appeared to be hungover and had a terrible headache.With his hands on his temples, he got up from the bed and looked out the window.It seemed that it snowed all night last night, but the sun has come out this morning.The sun shone on the snow in the yard, making it blindingly white.

Zhao Xuehan narrowed his eyes, then turned around and looked around the room.Yan Ke is not there.

His heart sank.

He vaguely knew that he said a lot of nonsense when he was drunk last night, but what he said, just like the alcohol in his body, had been digested long ago, and he couldn't remember it at all.

In Zhao Xuehan's impression, he seemed to have said something that shouldn't be said.It won't make Yan Ke angry.He thought anxiously.After getting dressed, he opened the door and went out, intending to find Yan Ke.

He circled around the lobby and met a few people, all of whom said they hadn't seen Yan Ke.Zhao Xuehan felt uneasy, but she didn't know if she should go to him to apologize or something.When he returned to the courtyard, he saw the wooden sword leaning against the wall, so he simply picked it up and practiced a few moves to calm his mind.

Zhao Xuehan raised his sword and stood firmly in the snow, but he kept thinking about where Yan Ke had gone, and couldn't concentrate.He hastily raised the sword and made several gestures, and swiped it in the air. Just as he was about to end it, unexpectedly, the blade suddenly burst into flames, and with two crackling sounds, the tip of the sword was actually set on fire.

Zhao Xuehan was startled, and hastily plunged the sword head down into the snow, finally extinguishing the fire.This kind of situation has never happened before. Although sparks can be emitted before, they are all under his control.

Zhao Xuehan was puzzled, picked up the sword, and was about to take a closer look, when he suddenly felt someone looking over the courtyard wall of the Lin residence, looking in his direction.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of his line of sight, but was really startled.A man with a livid and bloody face was staring straight at him across the snow-falling courtyard wall.

That person was none other than Immortal Lu who captured the souls of the villagers in Qingling Valley Town to make alchemy, and then inexplicably turned into a walking corpse and died.

Seeing that Zhao Xuehan had found him, Master Lu had a gloomy smile on his face, and then fell off the courtyard wall and disappeared.

Zhao Xuehan was startled and suspicious, fearing that he might be wrong.He stepped onto the courtyard wall in twos and threes, and looked towards the other side of the courtyard.Over there seems to be the yard of the Lin family's neighbor Zhuo's family.The layout of the courtyard was similar to that of the Lin family, it was empty, and there was no one there, let alone real Lu.

Master Lu died a long time ago, why did he suddenly appear here?Zhao Xuehan jumped off the courtyard wall, confused.Could it be his own hallucination?But if it was a hallucination, why did it suddenly appear at this time?

He pressed his fingers to his forehead.Could it be because I drank too much wine yesterday and got confused?

Zhao Xuehan raised his hand, wanting to continue practicing the sword style.However, that eerie smiling face of Master Lu was like a nightmare, lingering in Zhao Xuehan's mind all the time, unable to get rid of it.He put down his sword, shook his head, walked out of Lin Mansion, and knocked on the door of Zhuo Mansion next door.

Not long after the knock on the door, the door creaked open.Miss Zhuo's maid poked her head out from the crack of the door and looked her up and down: "What's the matter, sir?"

Zhao Xuehan cupped his hands and gave a slight salute, and asked: "Is there anything unusual about coming in?"

The servant girl frowned and tilted her head for a while, then turned around and called out the door: "Miss! Mr. Zhao from the Lin family asked if there are any strange things in our family these days?"

Zhao Xuehan looked along the crack of the door, Miss Zhuo came out of the house.When she saw Zhao Xuehan, she bowed her head to say hello, then shook her head: "The house is doing well recently, nothing happened." She looked up at Zhao Xuehan, with a little uneasiness in her eyes: "Why is Mr. Zhao asking that? I found out. what?"

Zhao Xuehan looked at Miss Zhuo, and a line of small characters appeared next to her delicate face.He raised his eyebrows slightly, then restrained his expression, and shook his head slightly.

"I was wrong." Zhao Xuehan said, taking a few steps back, a little farther away from the gate, "I drank a lot of wine yesterday, my eyes were a little dazzled, and I saw a black shadow entering Zhuo's mansion, so I followed "He made an apologetic gesture, "This city is full of immortals, how could something cause trouble. I took it for granted. I am very sorry to disturb you two."

Ms. Zhuo's eyes flickered, then she raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a slight smile, "Where is it, Mr. Zhao is also kind. Since you are here," she turned slightly and made a gesture of invitation, "Just have a cup of tea at my house Let's go."

Zhao Xuehan shook his head, politely declined Miss Zhuo on the grounds that he wanted to practice.When the door of Zhuo's family was closed in front of him, he turned around slowly and sighed slightly.

"Why, do you want to visit Zhuo Mansion?" A clear voice came from the air.

Zhao Xuehan looked up and saw Lin Jue lying on top of the wall with his elbows resting on the snow-fallen tiles, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Zhao Xuehan blinked, and changed the subject: "Have you seen Yan Ke this morning?"

"What, miss him?" Lin Jue pushed his arms lightly, jumped off the wall, and landed lightly in front of Zhao Xuehan. "Yan Ke has some business to go out, and she will be back soon. It's you..."

He stretched his arms around Zhao Xuehan's neck, and pressed his face close to his head: "When Yan Ke is not around, you start running around."

Lin Jue lowered his voice: "Did you see that dead man on the wall just now?"

Zhao Xuehan was startled, and turned to stare at Lin Jue.Since Lin Jue also saw the real person Lu's figure, doesn't it mean that this is not his fantasy?

Lin Jue put on a smiling face.

"Would you like to sneak into the Zhuo Mansion at night to see the situation?" He whispered, "I'll take you there."

"..." Zhao Xuehan hesitated.Although he was curious about Lu Zhenren's whereabouts, what he was more worried about was not this.

What's more, Zhao Xuehan looked at Lin Jue and thought of all the things before.

He didn't trust the man in front of him.

Seeing Zhao Xuehan's hesitation, Lin Jue poked him on the shoulder. "Just go to the neighbor's house to see what's the matter," he coaxed, "If the wronged soul harms someone in the Zhuo Mansion, it will be too late."

Zhao Xuehan removed Lin Jue's hand around his neck, and pressed his temples with two fingers.His head still hurts a little.

"Do you think that wronged soul can harm people in Zhuo Mansion?" He asked Lin Jue back.

Lin Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. "You found out." He looked Zhao Xuehan up and down, "This is really unexpected."

"I didn't find anything." Zhao Xuehan turned his head and ignored him.

Lin Jue laughed twice, and stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Xuehan's arm. "Since this is the case, we should go to the Zhuo Mansion to have a look." He said, "We are all neighbors anyway, if there is something wrong, just climb over the wall and come back."

He patted his chest: "Besides, there is me. I promise Yan Ke that nothing will happen to you. You can just accompany me and go to Zhuo Mansion to play at night."

Zhao Xuehan looked at Lin Jue suspiciously.Lin Jue kept smiling, ignoring his gaze at all.The small characters next to his head kept scrolling, rambling, writing things that had nothing to do with what he said.

"That's it." Lin Jue squeezed Zhao Xuehan's arm, "I'll wait for you at the corner of the courtyard at midnight. Why don't you come?" He took two steps back and tapped Zhao Xuehan's head in the air, "I Just drag you out of the bed!"

After saying that, he turned around and disappeared at the end of the street like flying.

Yan Ke didn't show up all day.Zhao Xuehan's sword practice was also boring.Worried about Yan Ke, while thinking about going to Zhuo Mansion with Lin Jue at night, his heart seemed to have been scratched, and he couldn't calm down for a moment.

After night fell, although Zhao Xuehan was extremely disturbed, he still followed the agreement and waited for Lin Jue by the corner wall of the courtyard.

When Lin Jue saw him, he didn't say much, he jumped over the wall and jumped into the Zhuo Mansion, and Zhao Xuehan followed his example and jumped in.

The Zhuo Mansion is very similar to the Lin Mansion, they are both the compound of wealthy families.It's just that compared with the exquisite wooden buildings in Lin's mansion, Zhuo's houses seem a bit more solid for some reason.There were no lights on in the room, and it was pitch-black, a little scary.

Lin Jue entered the Zhuo Mansion, and he didn't avoid people, he swaggered open the door of the hall and walked in.There was no one in the mansion, and the maid and the master probably had already fallen asleep.Zhao Xuehan stood in the corner of the lobby, carefully looking around.

Lin Jue casually picked up the hanging picture on the wall and glanced at it, then turned his head and asked Zhao Xuehan: "How is it? Do you see anything unusual?"

Zhao Xuehan shook his head.No matter how you look at this house, it is an ordinary house, and you can't feel the slightest strange atmosphere.He couldn't guess where the real Lu's figure was hidden.

In the middle of the lobby, the family tree of the Zhuo family hangs.Zhao Xuehan wanted to go over to have a look, but was pushed from behind by Lin Jue, knocking his hand down the wall.There was a soft sound.

Lin Jue immediately made a grimace, "I'm sorry," he said, "I want to look at this painting from a distance, but I accidentally knocked you down, are you okay?"

Zhao Xuehan shook his head, but did not speak.He directly raised his hand and knocked on the wall twice.

"The Zhuo family's walls are wooden walls?" Zhao Xuehan murmured, frowning and looking at the joints between the walls and the doors and windows.There you can see the section of the wall, which is thicker than ordinary stone walls. "Strange, how much wood is needed to make it like this..."

"The Zhuo family has always been in the timber business, and there are several forests." Lin Jue said, "It is understandable for this kind of family to waste some wood."

"That's it." Zhao Xuehan replied casually, and turned his gaze to the family tree hanging on the wall.Through the moonlight, he could see that the Zhuo family written in the genealogy did not seem to be prosperous. Zhuo Fangling was the only daughter of the head of the Zhuo family, and the head of the family was a single heir for three generations without siblings.

Zhao Xuehan looked at the family tree, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned.The lines of horizontal and vertical characters on the scroll put together some fragments in the back of his mind one by one, and vaguely formed a terrible guess.

The surrounding air was getting colder, Zhao Xuehan slightly curled his fingers.There was a retreat in my heart.

"Lin Jue..." Zhao Xuehan called Lin Jue's name in a low voice, ready to return to the Lin residence, but no one answered.

He turned his head, and the lobby was dark and empty, with no one in sight.

Lin Jue disappeared.

Zhao Xuehan paled in shock, took two steps back, and knocked his shoulder against the wooden wall with a loud bang.He quickly stabilized his figure and hurriedly walked towards the door, but he heard a few steady footsteps coming from outside the door.

"...Still can't go up the mountain?" A slightly familiar voice floated into the lobby through the crack of the door along with the cold wind.Zhao Xuehan had heard this voice on the forum of Yuancheng School.

It's the head of Feng.He and another person seemed to be walking towards the lobby in the courtyard.

Zhao Xuehan was very anxious.If you go out directly through the gate, you will definitely bump into these two people.He must not be found in the Zhuo Mansion by these two people.

Just as he was looking around, trying to find a place to hide, a pair of hands stretched out from a dark corner and tightly covered Zhao Xuehan's mouth.
