Death Princess

When Qin Hui and He Yi came face to face, Wei Zhuoxuan was playing with a dead branch boredly, listening to Ning Yuan and Zhao Lu's chatting without saying a word.The wild game on the fire was already half-cooked, and the aroma of condiments and meat wafting into his nostrils constantly tormented Wei Zhuoxuan's stomach. He dropped the branch, rubbed his eyebrows and swallowed, but still resisted the urge to reach out.

Today, not long after Prince Ping and the princess checked into the inn, Wei Zhuoxuan was dragged away from dinner by the brothers and sisters of the Chao family who came out of nowhere. He spent the whole afternoon hunting and making fire in the woods, The sky was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, from the cold wind blowing busy to the first snow falling quietly.Until everything was ready, Wei Zhuoxuan didn't figure out who was all this busy work for, and who was the "honored guest" who could bother Chao's brothers and sisters to come from afar to prepare for the feast.

Therefore, when he saw that the person who came talking and laughing with Qin Hui was actually Princess Changping who lived in the yard guarded by the guards at the inn, his jaw almost failed to close.Before he could react in his brain, with the instinctive body of an imperial guard, his legs stretched out, and he was about to kneel down and worship He Yi, but fortunately, Chao Luyan who was beside him quickly stopped him.

"Yi'er is here." After settling down Wei Zhuoxuan who hadn't turned the corner yet, Chao Lu smiled at the two who were walking, leaned over and took out a grilled fish from the fire, and handed it to He Yi. "Push up the stomach, relieve the hangover."

"Yi'er?" Wei Zhuoxuan belatedly recalled this familiar address, recalling all the way back to the time when he was practicing martial arts in Jianzong ten years ago, and then suddenly realized, "Ah! Yi...Yi'er !! Back then with Master Hui...uncle" glanced at Qin Hui, Wei Zhuoxuan had always had a problem with how the Chao brothers and sisters were one round older than all their peers in Jianzong. It's not easy for him to be next to him, and besides, his attention is all on He Yi at this moment, "That Yi'er who followed Master Hui's butt back then..." He couldn't finish speaking for a long time .

The princess Changping, who has been kneeling and worshiping for several years as the imperial guard, is actually the little squeamish girl who called her brother in Jianzong back then...

Life really is full of surprises.

"Oh?" Seeing Wei Zhuoxuan's funny face, He Yi suddenly thought of playing tricks, and copied the "princess" accent, "I always thought that the guards knew about this matter. Why, can the guards be here?" Since Jianzong is practicing, why should I not be allowed to live in Jianzong?"

"No... dare not." Wei Zhuoxuan, who really couldn't connect the little girl back then with the person in front of him with the word "princess" written all over his every gesture, lowered his head cowardly, "Humble ...a lowly position dare not."

"Pfft ha ha ha..." Before He Yi could express anything for his naughty success, the Chao brothers and sisters on the side started laughing openly, clutching their stomachs.

"..." Wei Zhuoxuan's ears turned red when Zhao Lu and Qin Hui smiled, and he didn't even have the face to look up.

"..." Seeing his son's honest appearance that is always slow to others, Ning Yuan rubbed the center of his brows speechlessly, and said, "Don't make trouble, the meat is almost burnt."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Qin Hui held his stomach and suppressed a smile, walked to the fire, and handed a glass of fine wine to one person. "This cup, respect Uncle Palm and Auntie." He poured the wine in the cup onto the snow.

"This cup," Qin Hui took a deep breath, put away the bad memories in his heart, turned to face He Yi, and said softly, "Happy birthday to our idiot."

"Little crying bag, happy birthday."

"Yi'er, happy birthday."

"Dian...cough cough, Yi...Yi'er, happy birthday."

"...Thank you." Pata, a drop of hot tears melted the silver snow.

. . .

"Huh?" Looking away from the snowy night outside the window, Leng Tong didn't realize what Yao Jingyu said for a while.

"These two names are written by Master," Yao Jingyu leaned in front of the case, tiptoed and pointed at the rice paper that Leng Tong had scribbled on as a draft, "Ou Xuemu, Ou Xueli, I heard that Sister Han and Chao Brother talked about it."

"Chao...brother?" Leng Tong was stunned for a long time before realizing that the "chao" that Yao Jingyu said was not the other "chao", it was Chao Bofan, not Chao Lu or her brother.

"Well, that day was the day, Master, you went to look for Sister Lu in her room," Yao Jingyu explained, "The three of them actually went to the village where Auntie lived for me. Later, Lu Sister..." A flash of self-blame flashed in his eyes, "I overheard them saying that they met Ou Xuemu and Ou Xueli in the village."

"In the village of the Spirit Tribe, did you meet Xuemu and Xueli?" Leng Tong realized that what Yao Jingyu said next would once again break some of her years of cognition.

Sure enough, "Well, I heard from Sister Han that their siblings seem to be from the Cold Spirit Race. Their mother and I are considered distant relatives, and they lived in that village, so..."

Xuemu is a Spirit Race?Same as Morning Dew, Spirit Race?A thunderous shock shrouded Leng Tong.

A Niang and the people in the village died of the Yi Cultists, Zhaolu was a Spirit Race, and he confused the Yi Cult with the Spirit Race, and under Jiang Tang's coercion and lure, he made... But now, another fact told me , Ou Xuemu, Ou Xuemu, who has been with him day and night for ten years, is actually a spirit race?

If I had noticed this a long time ago, if I had figured out the matter of the Spirit Race from Xuemu long ago, how could I... Even if the actions that day were caused by hallucinations, if there was no killing intent in my heart, there was no doubt in my heart How could she have appeared in the woods so close to Zhao Lu's real residence at that time, and how could she, as a trained killer since childhood, be so easily swayed by hallucinations?

"I heard from Brother Chao that it seems that the person called Ou Xueli made some kind of deal with Feng Yuwei, and betrayed the village, which will almost result in the slaughter of the whole village," Yao Jingyu continued, "Sister Lu is predicting She saw all this in her dream, so she used the illusion to move the tiger away from the mountain and rescued everyone including Ou Xuemu. But she herself suffered from fighting with Fengyuwei..."

Ou Xueli betrayed the spirit clan, Zhaolu saved Xuemu?Foreknowledge?Wait, precognitive dreams?All kinds of shocking information flooded into his mind at once made Leng Tong a little breathless.

"Slow...slow," Leng Tong pressed her forehead and stretched out her hand to stop Yao Jingyu from continuing, "Tell me a little bit, what is a Spirit Race? You are also a Spirit Race? Then what is an illusion? What is a prophetic dream? Why would Feng Yuwei massacre an innocent village for no reason?" While talking, he moved the stool in front of him, motioning Yao Jingyu to sit down and talk slowly.

"The Spirit Race..." Yao Jingyu hopped onto the stool with both hands, touched her forehead, and a silver-white light appeared under her fingertips, "The Spirit Race is a special race, and the spirit feathers on us can give We bring some abilities that are different from ordinary people, we call it 'spiritual power', but... but others will call it sorcery."

"There are five major clans in the Spirit Clan, Huan, Han, Yan, Feng, and Thunder. I am one of the Phantom Spirit Clan, and the family name of our Phantom Spirit Clan is 'Chao'. Sovereign Chao and Sister Lu are members of our clan respectively. The master and the master of the young clan. The main family of the Hanling clan has the 'Xue' surname, the Yanling clan's 'Han' surname, the Fengling clan's 'Qin' surname, and the Leiling clan's 'Wen' surname."

"That's why Young Master Han of Xueming Valley and Wen Yihai of Jianzong are also..."

"Well," Yao Jingyu nodded, "Sister Han is a hybrid of the Yanhuan Spiritual Clan, while Brother Wen is the young patriarch of the Leiling Clan, and his father is also the master of Sister Lu's Spiritual Clan. Inherited her spirit feather, so even though Sister Lu is a Phantom Spirit Clan, she also possesses thunder spirit power."

"Wait," Leng Tong said with a big head, "Master? Spiritual power? What's the relationship between the two?"

"The spirit feathers of the spirit race can be removed by themselves and transplanted to others. The person who gets the spirit feathers can obtain the corresponding spiritual power, but the strength of the spirit power has nothing to do with the number of spirit feathers. The spirit feathers are just keys. The spirit power itself depends on The most important thing is to practice hard the day after tomorrow. Generally speaking, accepting Lingyu is equivalent to worshiping the other party as a teacher, and the master and apprentice will have a permanent special bond because of Lingyu. But..."

"But special powers will always be coveted and feared by others." Speaking of this, Leng Tong already understood, "So the spirit race will be called 'evil race' and will be hunted down by Fengyuwei." Here, Leng Tong thought of something again, "That Yi taught..."

"In the Yi Sect, there are only some people who use spiritual power to do evil. Most of them are not spirits, but they have weapons infused with spiritual power, especially flame spiritual power. But I heard from Sister Lu that the 'Vulcan God' they believe in ’ I, however, seem to be from the Spirit Race.”

"Weapons infused with spiritual power?" Leng Tong recalled those blades that ignited flames ten years ago.

"Well, wait a minute, master, I'll show you." Yao Jingyu ran to the inner room and searched for a long time, and brought a black box over, opened the box, and it was filled with silver and red bean beads , "These were stuffed by Sister Han when I came out, saying that they were for me to prepare for emergencies. These beads are infused with Sister Han's own spiritual power."

Leng Tong's gaze turned back and forth between the two colored beads, and finally stopped on the red one.Reaching out her hand hesitantly, she picked up one of them, took a deep breath, and asked, "This bead... can... burn the whole village?"

"One is not enough, but a box may be enough, but I haven't tried it and dare not try it. The spiritual power in the beads belongs to Sister Han. Once I use it, she can feel it." Suddenly thought of something , Yao Jingyu's eyes lit up, "Master, do you want to try one?"

With a complex expression, he glanced at the apprentice who clearly wanted to use himself as a scapegoat, put the beads back with a cold face, and closed the box, "Forget it. What's the matter with the precognitive dream you mentioned just now?"

"Eh..." Yao Jingyu was serious on the surface, but she was still a child in her heart. Lengtong's decision to withdraw the beads disappointed her for a while, and she couldn't react to Lengtong's question all at once.

"Can the Phantom Spirit Clan predict the future?" Leng Tong asked again.

"Hmm... The Phantom Spirit Clan can see fragments of the future in their dreams. I, the reason why I can," Yao Jingyu's eyes suddenly darkened, "The reason why I was able to escape the pursuit of Fengyuwei is because Because A Niang saw it in her dream...she left alone and let me escape early..."

So, can morning dew predict the future?Then has she ever...has she ever met her knife?Now that we met, then why...

What does the "one scene" that Brother Zhao Lu refers to?His attire that day... seemed to be the same as Zhao Lu's usual attire.Could it be...Could it be that they knew that someone was going to kill the "Jiangzong Young Master" that day, so they waited and prepared everything, but they never thought that the killer would be...could be... know the true face and truth of the "Young Master" the place where I live.

Then... why did they use their bodies as bait?

He Yi, Princess of Changping He Yi.Is it to avenge her?A family feud eight years ago?Then, why do the brothers and sisters of the Chao family and the princess of the current dynasty commensurate with each other as brothers and sisters?Eight years ago, why did they appear in the team of the second King Jingji returning to Beijing?

Their enemy, who participated in the massacre eight years ago... himself.

Why did the court lord let himself go that day?Why did Zhao Lu ask her elder brother to show mercy to her subordinates that day?

The first snow outside the house, the bone-piercing cold, and the cold pupil inside the house, was sweating all over.
