Under the night sky, every household lit their lamps, and the faint firelight reflected the bustling figures in the house, which came out from the open door.

Ju Xie took a look, then looked back, and said: "A young lady who has been married will not be able to remarry in the future. She will spend her whole life alone. In order to support herself, she has to show her face and do work. It must be endured, because she has no one to rely on."

He Li listened silently, feeling as if he had followed that little lady all his life, lonely and miserable day and night.

Juxie said: "I can find eight people, but there may be more than that. The family, young and old, including children, have lost their humanity. It would be too cheap for them if they were cut off with a knife. They eat people, and there are wild beasts in the barren mountains , you can also eat them. And you can’t let them be eaten in a coma, you have to be awake and watch yourself being swallowed by wild beasts.”

He Li was still extremely sad just now, but now he shuddered in horror.

Juxie turned around and said, "How should this family be sentenced according to the current law?"

He Li said without hesitation: "Killing people will naturally pay for their lives, and it should be said to be beheaded."

After Juxie finished telling the story, no one spoke any more along the way.

Arriving at the gate of Zhao's house, Seventeen held up an oil lamp to shine on the gold plaque, and was about to knock on the door after confirmation, when Juxie said, "You still want to go through the main entrance?"

After being reminded by him, He Li thought about it, he went back and forth to Ruan's house three times today, and it was really not easy to enter the house once. This Zhao's house must be more difficult to enter than Ruan's house.If you knock on the door and ask to see someone rashly, if you don't tell anyone you don't see, you may startle the snake.

Seventeen said: "Then I'll go in and check it out first."

After He Li nodded, Shi Qi handed the oil lamp to Su Yu, and with a flying body, he fell into the fence.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Shi Qi came back, and he said: "I arrested a family and asked, Zhao Dong is not at home, I don't know where he went."

It seems they made a wasted trip tonight.

He Liqi said: "Zhao Dong doesn't come back to sleep at night, where will he go?"

Shi Qi looked a little embarrassed, and said shyly: "The servant said that Zhao Dong was rarely at home at night, and went to women. He has many women, relying on money to provide for him, almost every night at a different woman's house."

He Li: "..."

Ju Xie jokingly said: "This Zhao Dong is so lustful, he is comparable to an emperor."

Su Yu and Shi Qi changed their faces together, looked at Ju Xie with fire in their eyes, but could only hold back - he actually said such a rebellious thing in front of his deity!

However, He Li was not angry, and said in a normal tone: "Why do you think so?"

Ju Xie pursed her lips and said: "It is said that the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, isn't it almost the same as this Zhao Dong?"

He Li waved his hand and said, "You haven't seen the emperor before, so you shouldn't judge like that."

Ju Xie raised her eyebrows and said, "Then you think the emperor is not lustful?"

He Li coughed, and his face began to flush slightly: "The emperor hasn't accepted a concubine, not even a queen, how can he be lustful!"

Ju Xie said: "That's strange, the emperor has also passed the weak crown, how could he not even accept a concubine?"

He Li didn't bother to answer any more, and walked quickly, leaving the three of them behind.

Su Yu and Shiqi looked at each other awkwardly, and quickly followed.Ju Xie brushed the hem of her clothes, raised her eyes to look at the moon, her star-like eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance in the moonlight, she seemed to be walking slowly, but she always followed behind people not too far or too close.

The four of them returned to the post station and went back to their rooms to rest.

He Li walked into the room, Ju Xie stopped him and said, "Is your arm healed?"

After running for a day, He Li almost forgot about it, rolled up his sleeves, and took off the bandage, leaving only a few shallow marks on his skin.He Li was surprised and said, "Since you bandaged me, I haven't felt the slightest pain, and I've recovered so quickly, it's really mysterious."

Ju Xie raised her knuckle-boned fingers, and stroked gently on He Li's wound.He Li felt a little itchy, and retracted his hand.Ju Xie smiled invisibly, and said, "It's fine as long as the injury is cured."

The bright moon is in the sky, dotted with stars.Under the cold night, there were a few low insect calls from time to time.

He Li and his clothes lie down, and when he closes his eyes, it is all about today.The more I thought about it, the more lucid I became. I tossed and turned, and after an unknown amount of time, I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

He Li sniffed, wondering why the scent was so familiar, and slowly, a strong sense of drowsiness surged up.

**

It seems to be in the familiar palace dragon tower, the tip of the nose smells the ambergris that I often smell, mixed with other things, and the aroma is slightly different.

Sleepy……

Consciousness is fuzzy, as if separated from the body, uncontrollable.The eyes struggled to open, and with all their strength, they only managed to open a little.In sight, there were two elongated figures swaying under the candle lamp, they were talking in low voices, their voices were like mosquitoes and flies.

Immediately, the two whispered and approached, a pair of hands as cold as snow stretched across their foreheads, touched the veins on the neck, and stuffed their hands back outside the quilt.

He Li listened to another person asking, "How?"

"The breath is unstable, the mind is uncertain, and it is still not good."

The voices of both of them were very familiar, as if they were connected with someone deep in my heart or deep in my memory, but I couldn't remember who it was.He Li was in a trance, as if he was about to die amidst the lingering fragrance.

"How long will it last?"

"It's a day if it's fast, and a month if it's slow. But in his situation, it will take a month."

"Very serious?"

"Very serious."

They talked, and they were about to back away again.

Can you not go away... The world is chaotic, people don't know where they are, their ears are buzzing, their minds sometimes disappear, is it dead or alive, is it really a dream?

can you not go...

He Li wanted to reach out to grab it, maybe the desire was too strong, this time it seemed to grab a person's sleeve, causing the person's movement to leave to pause.

"how?"

The man pursed his lips and smiled, and changed his words: "It may not take January."

In a daze, the figures of those two people disappeared, and the place they were in seemed to be transformed into a hard wooden bed in a post station, and someone approached again, spraying warm breath on their faces, and whispered: "Are you awake?"

He realized later, his chest seemed to be stuffed with a mouthful of irritating turbid air, and he coughed violently.

Ju Xie said: "You have been poisoned by the incense, I have already given you a solution, but the taste is not very pleasant, you need to take it easy."

He Li coughed up tears, and after wiping them off, he realized that his other hand was tightly holding on to Ju Xie's sleeve, and he hurriedly let go, and said in a daze, "I seem to have a dream, and there is a person very similar to you in the dream." ..."

Ju Xie's eyes were dark and invisible, and said: "I am deeply honored."
