Death Princess

When Yao Jingyu woke up, Zhao Lu was sitting by the window in a daze.In fact, the description of "in a daze" is not accurate, because at this time she is closing her eyes lightly, in a state that seems to be sleeping and shedding her soul.

Yao Jingyu froze for a moment, and in her eyes, Zhao Lu's profile coincided with someone deep in her memory.She staggered out of the bed, tiptoed her little feet and gently moved in front of Chao Lu, and stretched out her hand to press Zhao Lu's forehead.

Zhao Lu's eyes opened, but she didn't avoid Yao Jingyu's little hand, "Jingyu, you..." The brows under her fingers frowned, "Can you see?"

"Yeah." Yao Jingyu nodded, and greedily touched the few spots of light above Chaolu's eyebrows, "Aniang, there are also." She withdrew her hand, but her gaze stayed on Chaolu's body reluctantly, there, right on her forehead In the center, there are three slender rays of light with two silver and one gold.

"Your mother," Zhao Lu took a deep breath, and in an instant, the three rays of light on her forehead became brighter, "Is there a spirit feather? Is she a spirit?"

Yao Jingyu nodded again, "Aniang has two, I have one, both are silver."

"Then... where is your mother now?" Zhao Lu frowned and grabbed Yao Jingyu's hand, "Why are you wandering here alone?"

"Aniang..." Yao Jingyu's eyes dimmed, and tears gathered in the eye sockets at a speed visible to the naked eye, but they refused to drip, "It's gone. Dad said that Aniang and I are evil stars. Unknown, he left. Afterwards, they, officers and soldiers, a group of officers and soldiers took A Niang away. They said, A Niang is an evil race, and so am I. They want to take me away too, but I ran away...I ran away, Auntie Mom... is gone, they killed..."

Silent tears flowed down slowly, but little Yao Jingyu was still trying her best to restrain herself.

"Don't say any more," Zhao Lu hugged the girl in her arms, "Don't say any more, I know, I know." The silver light wrapped the two of them, marking out a place that only belonged to them .

"Woo..." In Zhao Lu's warm embrace, feeling the familiar phantom power, little Yao Jingyu finally cried out.

. . .

On the other side of the inn, Chestnut jumped back from the same window and stepped on Wei Zhuoxuan's head.

"Ah!" Wei Zhuoxuan was stepped on and lost his balance, and sat on the ground.

"Why are you back?" Ning Yuan ignored his son who greeted the cat with a sword in its scabbard, but looked at the cat busy licking its fur with a straight face, "I should have said, don't say it again. Use your spiritual power, and don't let Chestnut follow you."

After squinting his eyes, Chestnut stopped licking his fur, "Hey."

"Say, did you talk?!" The sword held above the cat's head paused in mid-air, and Wei Zhuoxuan took half a step back in fright, "Cat, did you talk?"

"Senior Sister Ning, don't worry, Lu'er has her own measure." From Chestnut's mouth came Chao Lu's voice.

"Self-determination? Self-determination is to use illusion to attach spiritual knowledge to chestnut?" Ning Yuan's tone became severe, "Do you know that today is different from the past! Now Your Majesty has already found a way to detect spiritual power, Wind language guards are everywhere, no matter how high your spiritual power is, and no matter how deceptive your illusions are, there will always be wind language guards who will find you where you can't detect it. Once you use your spiritual power, you will not be able to escape. The ending of being a prisoner or even dying in Huangquan."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, this is not an illusion," Chestnut stretched, "The reason why I can talk to Senior Sister through Chestnut's body is not using illusion, but half of my spirit feather is on Chestnut's body. This method Dad learned it from the Yijiao things that you brought back, senior sister. It was only through Lingyu and Chestnut's shared mind. It didn't use spiritual power, so Fengyuwei couldn't detect it. Besides, senior sister, you and Zhuo Xuan came here with great difficulty. Go to Lingzhou, if I let you have troubles, father and mother will definitely not let me go lightly."

Ning Yuan frowned, he didn't seem to accept Zhao Lu's explanation, but he didn't refute again, but changed the subject and said: "What about the secret technique? Are you planning to say that you can be sure of this matter? You will have the secret technique of Jianzong What’s the point of spreading the word about it, saying that it will be dedicated to the leader of the martial arts alliance? Do you really know what secret art is?”

"Senior Sister was joking, what is the so-called secret technique, as the young patriarch of the Phantom Spirit Clan, how could Luer not know?" Chestnut sat upright in front of Ning Yuan, "Luer did this to save his life For example, secondly, it’s just a statement for Jianzong to various forces.”

"State your opinion?" Wei Zhuoxuan came over.

"Jianzong has no intention of being the leader of the alliance, but it is at the disposal of the court." After Chestnut said these words lightly, he had no intention of continuing to explain.

"State your opinion." Ning Yuan sat opposite Chestnut, and didn't say anything for a while, as if he was thinking about something.After a long time, she sighed, "Forget it, until now, I can't intervene in your affairs. But, Luer, you have to remember that people in the Jianghu don't know what the secret technique is, but it doesn't mean that the royal family People don't know. Mystery, spiritual power, sorcery, once you say this, I'm afraid not only Prince Ping and the crown prince, but even His Majesty will stare at Jianzong to death."

"Luer understands, what Luer wants is this kind of effect." Chestnut stood up, "Don't worry, senior sister, the secret technique in Jianzong's hands will neither be spirit feathers nor sorcery, it will only be a superficial It’s a magical inner skill. Those who don’t know are innocent, and Jianzong is outside the game, and he has no intention of entering the game. He just wants to be a ‘one who doesn’t know what others say’.”

After staring at Chestnut's eyes for a long time, "It's so good." Ning Yuan nodded and stood up.

Seeing that Ning Yuan didn't have any more questions, Chestnut lay down on the ground, closed his eyes and fell asleep.Only Wei Zhuoxuan, who had listened to the conversation between the two for a long time but was still confused, was left blankly looking at his mother to the left and the cat to the right.

Suddenly, Chestnut jumped up with a jerk, rushed towards Wei Zhuoxuan's face, and threw him to the ground again involuntarily.Wei Zhuoxuan was about to utter an instinctive curse, but the next moment, a rocket shot towards the place where he was standing just now, and set the screen behind him on fire.

A cold sweat.

"Meow--"

"Let's go!!"

Urged by the voices of Ning Yuan and Chestnut at the same time, the two of them and the cat rushed out of the room at the fastest speed, avoiding the ensuing shower of arrows.

Two people and one cat ran wildly in the corridor.But in this short period of less than a stick of incense, a group of men in black came from nowhere and turned this small inn into a purgatory of fire and blood.They wielded knives and set fire indiscriminately, beheading all living creatures they saw, and turning everything in sight into ruins.

The temperature in the inn is getting higher and higher, and the smoke is getting thicker and thicker. The mother and son have traveled far and cut down many men in black, but the number of men in black has not decreased at all, and the corridors of the inn There is no end in sight.Ning Yuan's eyes began to darken, the old wound began to ache, Wei Zhuoxuan's hand holding the sword began to tremble uncontrollably, but Chestnut went nowhere.

Just when the consciousness of the two became a little trance, "Be careful!!" A call passed over both ears and entered the hearts of the two, and then, the sound of swords and swords clashing in their ears made the mother and son excited.

When Ning Yuan and Wei Zhuoxuan came back to their senses, Zhao Lu herself stood in front of the two with a sword in her hand, "Swallow, this way!" She didn't say much, but handed the two pills For the two of them, after kicking the man in black who rushed forward, they walked ahead.

After swallowing the medicine, the chaos in the minds of the mother and son was cleared up. Coupled with Zhao Lu's posture of picking five people with a sword after coming to help, the situation was quickly reversed.They rushed out of the fire inn, and fought their way through the encirclement of the men in black.

When the sky was completely dark, when there was no trace of the man in black around, and everyone had to catch their breath, Ning Yuan and Wei Zhuoxuan discovered that there was a child in Zhao Lu's arms, and she From the beginning to the end, it turned out that they were hugging people with one hand and holding a sword with one hand, opening the way ahead.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Lu gently put down Yao Jingyu, who was unscathed under her protection, "It's okay." She let go of the hand that had been covering Yao Jingyu's eyes, and touched her head of.

"I..." The sudden relaxation after the fatal moment made Yao Jingyu unable to speak for a long time, but when she saw Chaolu's blood-stained left sleeve, tears burst out of her eyes before she said, "It's all my fault, my fault , They must have come to kill me, I was the one who got involved..."

"Silly boy," Zhao Lu hid her left hand behind her back, and flicked Yao Jingyu's head with her good right hand, "Why are you to blame? We, not you."

But Yao Jingyu was still crying, as if she wanted to finish the tears since A Niang left.She cried and cried like this, and fell asleep crying.

"Are you... injured?" Wei Zhuoxuan quietly approached from behind, his eyes stopped on Zhaolu's bloody hand.

"Nothing, just a small cut."

Ning Yuan on the side grabbed Zhao Lu's wounded hand that was about to hide, rolled up her sleeve roughly, and frowned dissatisfied after seeing the inch-long bleeding wound, "A small wound? A small wound will Bleeding so much?" As he spoke, he ordered Wei Zhuoxuan to tear off his skirt, and stretched out his hand to bandage it up.

"Wait a minute," Zhao Lu stopped Ning Yuan's movements, "Senior sister, wait a minute, bandaging is useless. I tried it, and the blood couldn't be stopped. It should be the poison on the swords of those men in black."

"Toxic?" Wei Zhuoxuan also frowned, the more he looked at Chaolu's bleeding wound, the more unreasonable guilt he felt in his heart.

"But don't worry, this little poison is just a matter of drinking a bowl of medicine in Xueming Valley. After this matter is over, I will go back to find Shuangxue." Breaking away from Ning Yuan's shackles, Zhao Lu hid her hands behind her back again "The most urgent thing right now is the safety of Senior Sister and Zhuo Xuan." As she said, Zhao Lu took out from her bosom the pass order for the martial arts conference that Leng Tong had rejected, and handed it to Wei Zhuoxuan.

"This is..." Wei Zhuoxuan looked around at the token in his hand, and couldn't think of a reason for a long time.

The author has something to say:

La la la, unexpected addition~

=====

Zhao Lu: Huh——finally, this token that was disliked by the wife was passed on and given away.

Sunyin: Whoever is called Wei Zhuoxuan is a foolish big guy (狗头.jpg).

Chaolu: Huh?Are you saying I'm going to fool people again?

Sunyin: No, you are just a walking Dahu... (seeing Chaolu's hand touching the hilt of the sword), ahem, walking Daxian, living Bodhisattva.
