Shadow guard is an unlucky profession

to find her? "

"I don't know." Lu Zhen waved his hand to let the crazy woman who was coaxing the child away, and slowly approached the iron cage, looking Xiao Jiu up and down, "I originally wanted her to lead Bai Yan here, but It was you who didn't expect it. Black doesn't suit you, but the clothes you wore when I saw you for the first time looked good."

"But I like black."

"I'll make you fall in love with that outfit slowly."

"Do you like standing like this?" Lao Liu raised his head and stared at Brother Yi who was standing by the edge of the trap. This guy had been standing here for a long time, but he didn't move at all.

The first brother looked down at the sixth child in the trap, and slowly raised the object in his hand, "This is the ledger that the prince is looking for."

Lao Liu's eyes changed slightly, he pursed his lips and stared at the things in Brother Yi's hand, "And then?"

"You come up, you will grab it."

His concern was exposed, the sixth child just blinked and avoided the sight of the first brother.

"So, you wait. I will come back when I see the prince."

"Hi!" The sixth child yelled loudly after understanding what the first brother said.Is this guy going to throw him here? "How long will it take? You don't intend to throw me in this life, do you? You pull me up first, anyway, I can't beat you, hey!"

No one answered the sixth child's words, and there was nothing outside.The sixth stared blankly at the big sky, the darkness around him almost swallowed him up, except for the three inches of light above his head.

But it was quickly covered up, and the sixth child saw a strange smiling face on the trap—Mr. Chilian.

"See what I caught?"

The palm of the hand was slightly charged, and the cold suddenly rose in the trap...

38

38. Calm down

Lu Zhen looked at Xiao Jiu who was sitting cross-legged in the iron cage, and couldn't tell what she felt.He has seen prisoners who are calm and calm, and he has seen people who are mad and yelling, but he has never seen such a quiet person, without the slightest consciousness of being imprisoned, closing his eyes as if he is not worried about anything.

"Do you think someone will come to your rescue?"

Xiao Jiu slowly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Zhen, then shook her head slightly, "The Shadow Guard never asks for rescue."

"Save yourself?"

"Yes, self-rescue or suicide." Xiao Jiu stood up from the ground, reached out to touch the iron cage, feeling the temperature in the palm of his hand, "Until the end, the shadow guards of the Yanqin royal family will not waste their lives."

"But you didn't intend to escape." If you wanted to escape, you wouldn't just sit on the ground.

"I'm just waiting."

Suddenly the ground shook violently, and Lu Zhen squinted her eyes and looked at the top of her head.This is an underground dark room, and the vibrations are coming from the top of the head. It seems that something is passing by above.

"I don't understand something." Xiao Jiu also glanced at the top of her head, "Lujiabao should be very important to you, why did you set fire to it?"

"Because this is just Lujiabao, not everything." Approaching the iron cage, Lu Zhen looked at Xiao Jiu with a smile, "Besides, if the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come."

"I heard that you are obsessed with children?"

Lu Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jiu with a smile in her eyes, neither admitting nor denying it. "You look very similar to Chi Lian, and Chi Lian looks very similar to his mother."

"I think I'm more like Bai Qinxuan than Mr. Chilian." Xiao Jiu smiled and looked forward, looking behind him through Lu Zhen's shoulder. The smile on his face slowly spread, and finally it was like a blooming flower. flower. "do you think so?"

"Yes, everything you say is right in my heart."

Lu Zhen turned around abruptly and saw Bai Qinxuan standing quietly behind him, and exhaled, "Your Majesty's actions will frighten Lu Mou."

"I thought Master Lu knew I was here." Bai Qinxuan slightly lowered his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, he had already reached out and grabbed Lu Zhen's throat.As he rushed forward, a person jumped out from behind him holding a sword.

The man did not attack Lu Zhen, but swung his sword towards the iron cage where Xiao Jiu was.Xiao Jiu looked at the man with a smile, and took two steps back slightly.

Ye Lingyun, you are finally here.

The iron cage was easily opened, and Xiao Jiu was immediately pulled out of the cage by Ye Lingyun and hugged her in her arms.

"The things are in hand, the prince is going to join Yue Ling."

"Walk."

Xiao Jiu uttered a single word and pulled Ye Lingyun away. Ye Lingyun opened his mouth and looked at the person who was fighting with Lu Zhen. Would he just leave Bai Qinxuan behind?But Xiao Jiu didn't want to stay at all, let alone help.Ye Lingyun could only sigh and follow him away.

"Don't worry about him, Lu Zhen won't be his opponent." Xiao Jiu's words are very certain, and the facts have proved his words.

Bai Qinxuan, who is so powerful in the three armies, will not fall easily. Lu Zhen is not an obstacle to him, and he was captured easily.It's just that Xiao Jiu didn't know the result, because he had already pulled Ye Lingyun away.

Lujiabao was shrouded in raging fire, and there was chaos everywhere.King Yanqin led his people through the ruined Mizong Forest and came to Xiaojiu.

"Let's go home!"

Nodding his head, nothing is as comforting as these four words.Xiao Jiu smiled and pulled her hand out of Ye Lingyun's hand, and stretched it out to King Yan Qin's eyes.The hands of the two were tightly held, and neither of them wanted to let go.

Looking back at Ye Lingyun hidden in the crowd, Xiao Jiu called softly, "Let's go home."

Ye Lingyun burst out laughing, strode behind Xiao Jiu and left with them.

There was nothing King Yanqin was looking for in the black iron shield, and Hongxia Villa was still peaceful.But Xiao Jiu's brows were tightly frowned, and the hand holding the handrail was loosened and held, and then loosened.

"Have you found Brother Six yet?"

After that day, Lao Liu disappeared.I searched all over the ruins of Lujiabao, but there was no one there.

King Yan Qin shook his head, the people he sent out didn't gain anything.You can't see people when you are born, and you can't see corpses when you die.And not one.

"My lord." Shi Qi approached quickly, "Someone brought a big box, saying it was for Xiao Jiu."

"Give it to me?" Xiao Jiu looked at King Yan Qin suspiciously, and then turned to look at Ye Lingyun who had been sitting on the side and hadn't said anything.The things must not have been sent by the two of them, let alone the emperor.Because the emperor always sent things directly to his hands.

Since you don't know what it is, go out and have a look.King Yan Qin strode out, Xiao Jiu followed closely behind him, feeling vaguely bad in his heart.

The box was large and painted bright red.The paint seemed to have just been applied, and the ground was stained with a layer of red.Xiao Jiu approached the box slowly, and slowly opened it.The moment he opened it, he was stunned.

Inside the box was a man, a man covered in wounds—the sixth child.

"Sixth Brother! Come find Fourth Brother." Xiao Jiu hugged the man out of the wooden box as quickly as possible. The person in his arms was so light that it seemed weightless.Who has so many wounds and shed so much blood, and still has weight.Xiao Jiu didn't know what Lao Liu had experienced, but every inch of wound on Lao Liu's body caused him severe physical and mental pain, as if he had experienced it himself.

"Brother Six... Brother Six..."

King Yanqin stared at Xiaojiu with a sullen face as he carried him away, and slowly bent to pick up a letter that had fallen on the ground.A bloody letter.

"A small gift, I hope you like it." Signed, Lu Zhen.

With both hands closed, King Yanqin crushed the paper tightly, as if he wanted to crush Lu Zhen's bones with his own hands.

Looking at the bloodless person on the bed, Xiao Jiu lowered her head and didn't say a word.Just watched quietly and listened carefully.

"His tongue was pulled out, and I'm afraid he won't be able to speak again in the future." The fourth brother put down the silver needle in his hand, and the sixth brother was seriously injured. Every inch of his body was intact, and the bones of his hand were broken and reconnected. , connected and interrupted. "Although his hands are not useless, it is difficult to use hidden weapons."

"Go on, I'm sick, thank you behind closed doors!" King Yanqin slapped the wooden table in the room, and the wooden table shattered.

"My lord, I want to leave the village." Xiao Jiu said softly.

"My king is sick, what you have done, I don't know anything about it."

The setting sun is like fire, and there is a fierce horse.Xiao Jiu left Hongxia Villa with a full body of evil spirit, and the two fast horses behind him followed him at a high speed, walking side by side with him.

"I know where Lu Zhen is." Shi Qi waved his whip and followed Xiao Jiu. Although he didn't like Lao Liu, they were from Hongxia Villa after all, and they couldn't tolerate others' casual bullying.

"Ye Lingyun, what are you doing here?" Xiao Jiu signaled Shi Qi to lead the way.

Ye Lingyun glanced at Xiaojiu, pressed the saber at his waist, "Yue Ling led the troops to wipe out the remnants of Lujiabao, he can't avenge Lao Liu with his own hands, so I, the commander, will do it for me." Holding Xiao Jiu's hand tightly on the reins, "My lord let's go and cut off the Lu family's back."

The back line of the Lu family, imperial merchants, those who started their fortunes by businessmen, the strongest backing is wealth.Lujiabao's wealth can be regarded as controlling the world, and it is not easy to break it, but Ye Lingyun said that King Yanqin did it.Xiao Jiu believed that Bai Yan would give him an explanation, otherwise he would not have closed the door to thank the guests and turned a blind eye to what they had to do.

It's just that some things didn't go as smoothly as expected. Xiao Jiu wanted to take revenge with his own hands, but someone did it for him.Following Shi Qi to the place where Lu Zhen was hiding, Bai Qinxuan was already standing there holding the man's head.Master Chilian died, and Princess Pingyang disappeared.

"He was already dead when I chased him." Bai Qinxuan said that the person he was talking about was Young Master Chi Lian. He came after Lu Zhen but only saw the body of Young Master Chi Lian. Lu Zhen stood aside dazedly covered in blood. Seeing him, he attacked like crazy, and finally died in his hands.

Bai Qinxuan said it lightly, but the injuries on his body told Xiao Jiu that it was a fierce battle.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm looking for Tang Yin."

"Who?"

"One. The shadow guard who was with you. He is the orphan of the Tang family, and he took away the ledger."

"What is in the ledger
