my general is so cold

Bai Xu found that although the market was full of people and bustling, it was impossible to see even a child.

The two found a restaurant and found an empty seat to sit down. Bai Xu shouted at the busy Xiao Er:

"Xiaoer, bring up the best wine you have here"

The waiter in the shop heard the sound and looked for it. He saw that the rich master had come,

Quickly trotting to Bai Xu with a lost smile on his face, he said:

"Second guest officers, the best wine in this shop is homemade. The wine is full of fragrance and mellow, and it can float out of ten miles and eight villages. This shop is the only one in Luohuashan area."

Hearing the praise from the waiter in the shop, Bai Xu touched her forehead slightly with her fingertips, and said:

"If it's true as you said, I'd like to buy more, and it would be good to take them home."

As soon as the waiter in the store heard what Bai Xu said, the smile in his eyes almost overflowed, and he hurriedly said:

"That's for sure. From your accent, you're not a local."

Baixu said:

"Indeed, we are newcomers, but how come no one has ever seen such a lively and fun market?"

When the shop waiter heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a deep sigh

"Hey, guest officer, you are from out of town. You don't know anything. How can anyone here dare to take their children out?"

Bai Xu pretended to be curious and asked:

"Why do you say that"

The waiter in the shop continued:

"During these days, the Luohua Mountain area has been throwing away children. It is said that the female ghosts in the mountains have been caught and eaten! Who dares to let their children show their faces? It's too late to hide them."

Bai Xu continued to ask:

"Female ghost? Isn't this nonsense?"

The waiter immediately said with a frightened expression:

"Hey, you can't believe it. As soon as I arrived in the mountain, there was a voice of a woman singing. Many people heard it. They were so scared that they dared not go out for ten days and a half months."

Hearing this, Bai Xu's expression moved slightly, he glanced at Ye Cangming, nodded slightly, took a piece of silver on the table, and said:

"That wine, save it for me first, and I'll pick it up later"

As soon as the shop waiter saw Yinzi, his eyes lit up, and he said hastily:

"Okay, okay, don't worry, guest officer"

The two left the wine shop, Bai Xu looked at the sunset in the sky, and the darkness gradually spread, and said:

"General, the terrain of Luohua Mountain is steep. We can only walk. If we start now, we should be able to enter the mountain just in time."

Ye Cangming nodded, then seemed to think of something, and said lightly:

"You are too young to drink at this time"

Hearing what her royal uncle said, Bai Xu couldn't help laughing, the invincible Prince Regent really doesn't understand the current worldly ways,

Just as Bai Xu was about to explain to him, she stopped on her lips, rolled her eyes, and said in a slightly ambiguous tone:

"Don't worry, general, my body is very strong"

Bai Xu looked at his uncle who turned his head and left, and with a smile, trotted up to follow and said:

"Hey, General, walk slowly..."

When the two of them entered the mountain, Luohua Mountain was completely hidden in the night, only a bright moon hung in the night sky, illuminating the deep mountains and jungles with pale gloom,

"Shasha~"

I don't know if it's the wind or something hidden in the dark, there are noises from time to time around, Bai Xu unconsciously walks lightly, trying her best to adapt her eyes to the darkness, closely following the moon-white figure,

Suddenly, Baixu seemed to think of something, and tentatively searched for the cool fingertips, as if he was in the mist last time, whoever imagined it, before he could hold it, he wiped the edge, and was thrown away heavily , the cold voice mixed with anger

"You don't care about the occasion when you mess around!"

Seeing his hand being thrown away and the angry scolding, Bai Xu froze in place, what's going on?

It was obvious last time, it was obviously not like this!

Bai Xu realized that Ye Cangming didn't seem to remember anything that happened in Lijiazhuang except after waking up in the ancestral hall. Could it be that... he didn't think it was important so he didn't need to remember so clearly?

Thinking of this, Bai Xu felt as if something was going to break in his heart, and it seemed that something was growing slowly. This feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to admit his mistake to Ye Cangming, before he could say anything, a faint female voice came from the depths of the forest mixed with the boundless darkness, all of which were strange,

Bai Xu's nerves immediately tensed up, and she couldn't help but think, is someone really playing tricks?Just about to ask Ye Cangming, but saw him whisper a word

"hear"

Bai Xu understood, breathed lightly, and concentrated on listening to the woman's voice, humming like a ballad:

the moon is round,

The moon is bright.

Cats know to go home early,

Don't be naughty again, kid.

Mother will make a flowered jacket with you,

The gate of hell opened and the child returned.

After hearing this, Bai Xu felt goosebumps all over her body. The woman's voice was like a ghost, sometimes far away and sometimes near, if there was nothing there, it disappeared completely in the dark night after a while, and it returned to silence. Bai Xu gently said:

"General, that woman's voice has disappeared, how should we find her?"

Ye Cangming fixed his eyes on a certain place, and said lightly:

"Someone will show us the way"

Bai Xu was a little puzzled, looked in the direction of Ye Cangming, there was a faint light in the darkness, from far to near, looked carefully,

It was a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old holding a red lantern. When she approached, Bai Xu was startled.

The little girl's face was so pale that she didn't look like a living person at all. She was wearing a red jacket, her eyes were wide open, but she was completely absent-minded. She tilted her head slightly and said with a grin:

"Are you also here to accompany my mother?"

It was originally a soft and waxy voice unique to little girls, but now it sounds creepy,

Bai Xu obviously noticed the word "also" in the little girl's words, could it be those missing children?

Bai Xu asked a little warily:

"Where is your mother? Is there anyone else with her?"

Hearing Bai Xu's question, the little girl grinned even wider, revealing an incomparably sinister smile, and said to Bai Xu:

"Brother, do you really want to know, then, follow me closely"

After the little girl finished speaking, she turned around stiffly holding the red lantern and walked into the endless night.

There was no other choice right now, so the two of them had no choice but to follow the girl not too far away, for an unknown how long they walked, but Bai Xu felt that the weeds became more and more vigorous as they walked, and even the road had disappeared.

Suddenly, the looming lights scattered not far away made the two of them slow down involuntarily.

After walking in, it turned out to be a deserted old house, standing in the middle of the forest and hidden in the darkness. Two big red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the old house gave off a dim red light.

The weeds all around grew unscrupulously and surrounded the old house. Just as Bai Xu was about to continue to follow the girl,

But was stopped by the people beside him, Ye Cangming looked at the fence of the house, and said in a low voice:

"Let's go in there, don't startle the snake"

Bai Xu nodded, and the two of them took advantage of the girl's inattention, bypassed the gate of the house from the side, flipped over to the wall neatly, carefully watched the situation inside the house,

Different from the desolation outside, although the house is overgrown with weeds, it is brightly lit. There is even a cup of steaming white tea on the stone table in the middle of the yard.

Bai Xu vigilantly noticed that there seemed to be a man in black hanging outside the main hall door, with his head lowered, without any movement, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive,

With a "squeak", the heavy door of the old house was slowly pushed open. It should have been abandoned for a long time, making a harsh and old sound,

The girl in red appeared in the middle of the courtyard with a lantern. When passing by the man,

Actually laughed "giggle~", echoing in this dark night, it was indescribably creepy

"Brother, someone is here to accompany you."

When the man heard the girl's voice, he actually reacted, raised his head with difficulty, and a face with handsome features but no blood appeared in Bai Xu's sight, and Bai Xu's heart skipped a beat,

Li Yuan!

A trace of cold sweat slipped down the forehead, Bai Xu reacted almost instantly, unable to control what was inside and what danger it would be, so she rolled over and fell down,

Ye Cangming was startled, and subconsciously wanted to grab Bai Xu, but only came across a corner of his clothes. In desperation, he had no choice but to follow Bai Xu down, holding the silver scimitar at his waist

Bai Xu almost ignored the existence of the little girl, and ran straight to the man, clamping his shoulders with both hands, the anxiety in her voice could not be concealed.

"Li Yuan! Let me ask you, have you protected him? Where is he now!"

The man named Li Yuan bared his teeth in pain instantly, his tone was extremely weak but full of anger

"Hey! You can strangle me to death. Your Highness is fine, but was stunned by that woman. Now in the main hall, I am the one who has something to do. I have been hanging here for several hours!"

Hearing the words "nothing happened", the stone in Bai Xu's heart fell to the ground. After calming down, he said indifferently:

"Do you have anything to do with me? I'm going to look for His Royal Highness King Yu. You should hang on."

After listening to Bai Xu's words, Ye Cangming suddenly understood why his emotions suddenly lost control, and his phoenix eyes flickered, flashing a trace of complicated emotions

Bai Xu was about to turn around, but the little girl's weird voice came from behind

"Brother, didn't I say to follow me closely!"

Ye Cangming came back to his senses in an instant, watching the little girl's movements, a silver light flashed past,

The phoenix eyes were full of shock and panic, almost in a flash, Ye Cangming flashed directly in front of Bai Xu,

Spots of bright red gradually spread from the moon white clothes, looking at the bright red blood, the little girl showed a greedy smile, and disappeared into the boundless night in a flash

When Bai Xu heard the little girl's voice, she turned around in confusion, but saw the Yuebai figure with her back facing her, without any movement, Bai Xu couldn't help but feel a little strange, so she wanted to go around in front of her royal uncle,

Ye Cangming felt Bai Xu's movement behind him,

He lowered his head and looked at the silvery dagger inserted into his abdomen, the bright red blood slipped down his robe, inexplicably like a bright red plum in the snow and ice,

Ye Cangming took a deep breath, endured the great pain, bit his lips tightly, and pulled out the dagger with all his strength.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could even see the corner of the black dress,

In an instant, Ye Cangming threw the blood-stained dagger towards the lights in the courtyard, and the surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness.

Bai Xu stopped immediately and asked:

"But what's the difference?"

Ye Cangming covered the wound with his hand, he could clearly feel the blood flowing from the gap between his fingers, he threw the scimitar at his waist to Bai Xu, trying to make his voice as normal as possible

"Take good self-defense and go in to rescue Bai Jin. The girl is gone and the woman is not here anymore. The lights are too ostentatious."

Bai Xu held a heavy silver scimitar in his hand. Although she felt that something was wrong with her royal uncle, when she thought of Bai Jin, Bai Xu's doubts disappeared completely.

Quickly groping into the main hall, Bai Xu's eyes were slightly adapted to the darkness at this moment, just entering, he saw a black figure lying on the ground in the corner of the room,

Bai Xu held the scimitar in front of her, and approached the black shadow step by step. With the help of the faint moonlight, the bright eyes were reflected in her eyes.

Bai Xu exhaled heavily, retracted the scimitar, and stepped forward to pick up the unconscious Bai Jin,

Thinking in my heart, second brother Jin... just as long as you have nothing to do

After Bai Xu came out, she was about to ask Shang Ye Cangming to go down the mountain first to discuss matters about the house, but was interrupted by the voice of Li Yuan ghosts crying and howling wolves

"Hey! Little bastard, do you still have humanity? Your Highness is fine, can you put me down?"

Bai Xu really wanted to shut his mouth to death, but he really didn't understand why Bai Jin chose such an unreliable secret guard.

Before he could make a move, that cold voice came from a place far away from him,

"Take him away first, I don't know what kind of drug is in it, I will stay with this person to see if there are any clues"

Perhaps because of the distance, Bai Xu always felt that the voice was a little weak,

But these words are not entirely unreasonable. Bai Jin has not reacted at all so far, and he still knows the capabilities of his uncle, and there is Li Yuan, so there should be no accident. Thinking of this, Bai Xu replied:

"Okay, then I will take His Royal Highness Yu Wang away first."

Hearing the sound of Baixu's footsteps walking away, Ye Cangming finally couldn't hold on any longer, and just knelt on the ground on one knee, his thin lips, which were already extremely pale, were completely devoid of blood at this moment, pale and frighteningly pale.

The hem of the Yuebai robe was completely soaked in crimson blood at this moment

Li Yuan, who was still hanging at the moment, saw the figure kneeling on the ground beside him by the faint moonlight, and said helplessly:

"Are you also the guard of the Emperor's Palace? Why is this a virtue? Can you put me down first, you are resting?"

Ye Cangming was powerless to say anything to him at all, and after a while, he pressed the wound with force, stood up from the ground with difficulty, and put down the extremely noisy person enduring the intense pain

Li Yuan, who regained his freedom, loosened his wrist, and just wanted to say that this person's movements were not a little slow, but he was startled by the scene in front of him,

With the help of the faint moonlight and the fact that the eyes have already adapted to the darkness,

I saw the person in front of him with his head down, unable to see his face clearly, but his whole body was covered in blood, the moon white robe below his abdomen was already stained with blood, if he didn't look at his upper body, he couldn't see the original color of the clothes at all,

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan seemed to recall just now, and exclaimed:

"Just, just now, it was you who blocked the knife for him!"

Ye Cangming's voice almost seems to be completely exhausted

"I, I need you to take me down the mountain, staggering the two of them"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's expression changed, and the corner of his mouth raised a smirk, and he folded his arms and said playfully:

"Yo Yo! I don't want that little bastard to know that the guards of the Emperor's Palace have such a good relationship. But, what can you give me?"

Ye Cangming was panting heavily, his back was completely soaked in sweat, his voice was trembling but cold

"I owe you a favor"

After Li Yuan heard these words, he unconsciously rolled up his collar, and continued:

"What do I want from you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the voice again.

"My favor, you will want it"
