Qi Ning carried the man in black to the edge of the python pond. He was about to put the man in black on the edge of the python pond, but when he thought of something, he turned around and carried the man in black into the bamboo forest on the side, and found a decent place. Place it carefully in a spacious place.
At this time, the body of the man in black had gone cold, and Qi Ning was very anxious. Although this woman had never admitted that she was Zhuo Xian'er, if it was really Zhuo Xian'er, he could not just watch her die here, and took out the cold Blade, was about to go over and get some python blood while the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon was sleeping. He only took a few steps when he suddenly heard a cough. No human traces were found, but the coughing sound was obviously made by someone.
He squatted in the bamboo forest, held his breath, and looked over by the moonlight, only to see two figures on the path walking towards the python pond one after another.
The two people were covered in black robes. Qining only took one look and was sure that they were the two people who entered the palace from Maitreya Temple. He immediately understood that the black robes who had fought with the man in gray were not the two. Any of the people.
When he entered the palace tonight, he found these two strange men in black robes sneaking in from the underground secret passage. He suddenly remembered what Chi Danmei said. Every time before Mao hour, these two people would definitely leave from the secret passage under the python pond. Tonight After spending most of the night in this palace, counting the time, it was indeed almost nine o'clock, and the dawn was very close.
Two men in black robes walked to the edge of the python pond. The one in front was obviously much taller, but the one behind was very short. At most, it only reached the chest of the person in front.
The tall man walked to the edge of the python pond and was silent. The short man also walked to the edge of the python pond. After a period of silence, he finally said softly: "I leave everything to you over there. This matter is of great importance. There can’t be any mistakes.”
The man's voice was very soft. Qi Ning faintly heard it and vaguely understood what he was saying, but his voice was a little blurry and could not be recognized for a while.
But the tall man bowed slightly and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already made arrangements. We will set off immediately after dawn. Everything will be done according to His Majesty's instructions, and there will never be any deviation."
When Qi Ning heard this, his body trembled and his heart was horrified.
As soon as the tall man spoke, Qining instantly recognized the short man in black robe, but it was Xiao Shaozong, the prince of Huainan.
There is of course more than one heir apparent in the capital, but the only heir apparent who is as short as a dwarf is Xiao Shaozong, the heir apparent of Prince Huainan. Although Xiao Shaozong’s voice is a bit vague and cannot be recognized instantly, but after confirming the identity of the other person and thinking about his voice, it is just right. match.
Qining was really shocked when he found out that the short man in black robe was actually Xiao Shaozong.
After King Huainan committed suicide in the Imperial Mausoleum Incident, the Huainan Palace was confiscated by the imperial court. However, Longtai did not issue an order to expel Xiao Shaozong from the palace, but allowed Xiao Shaozong to continue to live in the palace.
Xiao Shaozong was seriously ill and was about to die soon. Everyone in the court knew that Xiao Shaozong would not die soon, only a year and a half at most. After the death of King Huainan, the power of the Huainan King had disappeared. No one wanted to mess with Xiao Shaozong and the Huainan Prince's Palace. The officials involved were trying their best to disassociate themselves from the Huainan Palace. Not to mention that Xiao Shaozong's time was short. Even if he was really free from illness and disaster, with the current strength of the Huainan Palace, he would not have any influence on the court. threaten.
In fact, many people knew in their hearts that Longtai was open to the enemy and Sima Lan did not kill them all. In the final analysis, they all knew that Xiao Shaozong would not live long. Otherwise, even if Xiao Shaozong could survive, he would have been reduced to a civilian status and sent to far away. frontier.
But Qi Ning also knew that after the Huainan Palace was plundered, the family members of the palace were beheaded and exiled. Longtai specially ordered a doctor named Yuan Moli to stay with Xiao Shaozong to take care of him. In addition, he left a family member in the palace. As a famous chef, there are only three people living in the huge Huainan Prince's Mansion now. Just to prevent anyone from harming Xiao Shaozong, the imperial court also sent a small team of guards to the Huainan Prince's Mansion, nominally for protection. Xiao Shaozong was actually ordered to monitor Xiao Shaozong's whereabouts. Xiao Shaozong was ordered not to step out of the Huainan Palace, which was effectively under house arrest.
Qi Ning never imagined that Xiao Shaozong not only walked out of the palace against the will, but also sneaked into the palace secretly.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out what Xiao Shaozong's purpose was in sneaking into the palace. At this time, he saw that Xiao Shaozong had gently descended into the python pond, and was soon obscured by the mist hovering over the python pond. The tall man in black robe also followed him. Get into the water and get into the mist.
Qi Ning only felt that tonight was really a big event, one after another. Chi Danmei sneaked into the Hou Mansion, saying that she wanted to take him out to watch a good show. I am afraid that even Chi Danmei herself did not expect that in just one night, this would happen. Good shows happen one after another.
Qi Ning took a deep breath. At this time, he didn't care to think about why Xiao Shaozong sneaked into the palace. He looked back at the woman in black and laid him motionless in the bamboo forest. He knew that if he didn't save him, the woman in black would only I'm afraid that my fragrance will disappear and my jade will disappear.
He waited for a short moment and knew that Xiao Shaozong would never have the leisure and elegance to enjoy the night view in the python pond. After entering the water, he must have quickly left along the underground secret passage. Without further delay, he came out of the bamboo forest and reached the pond quietly. Next, I listened carefully and finally got into the water and touched the edge of the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon.
He held the dagger, and the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon's body was coiled like snow in the pool. Qining knew that Mao hour was coming, and the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon would wake up at any time. He really couldn't delay, so he just took the dagger casually. When he stabbed it, he was really worried about waking up the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon. Once this giant python started to show its power, it would be really difficult to deal with it. After a slight hesitation, he thought of the woman in black waiting for the python's blood to survive. Without any hesitation, he used the cold blade to stab the python. A slight stroke of the body.
Perhaps the cold blade was too sharp, and the blood python couldn't feel the pain. A small cut appeared in the python's body, and blood immediately overflowed from the cut. Qining hurriedly covered it with his palm.
He was worried about hurting the snow python, so he made a small cut and blood spilled out. After a while, Qining's palms were stained with a lot of python blood.
He clasped his palms together, raised them flat, and quickly returned to the forest. When he reached the woman in black, he locked her teeth tightly and could only hold her cheek with his hand, making her open her mouth. With his five fingers facing his mouth, python blood flowed down his fingers and dripped into the mouth of the woman in black.
Qi Ning was afraid that the python's blood would be insufficient, so he returned to the python pond to fetch it once more, and fed the woman in black twice the python's blood. Then he sat on the edge and said with a wry smile: "I have tried my best. Whether I can survive or not depends on me." Your creation.”
He just arrived in the capital at dusk yesterday. After entering the capital, he immediately entered the palace to meet the saint. It was already midnight when he returned to the palace. Not long after he slept, he was awakened by Chi Danmei, and then came to the palace. After much trouble in the middle of the night, at this time He really felt a little tired. He knew that this was not entirely due to physical fatigue. Chi Danmei's unexpected betrayal tonight made Qining both angry and sad. Thinking of the tenderness and sweetness between the two of them in the past, Thinking of Chi Danmei's decisive betrayal tonight, Qin Ning felt an unspeakable helpless sadness in his heart.
The woman in black remained motionless. Qining probed her forehead, but she still felt cold.
Qi Ning knew that if Tang Nuo was around at this time, the woman in black would be more seriously injured, and Tang Nuo could easily rescue her. However, if he wanted to see Tang Nuo, he had to leave the palace first, and the way to leave the palace was, The only way to escape now is through the underwater secret passage.
Qi Ning followed Chi Danmei in under the water, and he had already figured out the general direction. It would not be a big problem for him to go out alone now, but with the situation of the woman in black, after entering the water, she would probably drown alive. in.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly cut off a piece of clothes on his body with a cold blade, ran to the edge of the pool, soaked the clothes in water, and came back to carefully wipe the blood on the face of the woman in black with the clothes.
The blood stains were gradually wiped away, revealing soft skin. When Qi Ning wiped away all the blood stains on the woman's face, and looked at the face carefully, Qi Ning gave a bitter smile and sat down on the ground.
Zhuo Xian'er's appearance was naturally fresh in his memory, but the face in front of him, although beautiful in appearance and not even inferior to Zhuo Xian'er in beauty, was not Zhuo Xian'er.
At this time, Qi Ning finally understood why this woman had always been confused about who Xian'er was. At first, Qi Ning thought that Zhuo Xian'er did not dare to admit her identity and deliberately concealed it. Now it seems that the woman in black did not hide it. But he really didn’t know who Zhuo Xianer was.
However, this woman's body is almost the same as Zhuo Xian'er. Whether it is the figure, voice, or eyes, everything proves that this woman is Zhuo Xian'er.
Even when Qi Ning held this girl, he seemed to have regained the feeling of holding Zhuo Xian'er. She was the same small and exquisite girl, the same Xiaojiabiyu, the same soft and delicate girl.
When Qining wiped her face, he made sure that she was not wearing a mask, so this face was indeed hers.
After Zhuo Xianer disappeared, Qi Ning ordered his men to search for her secretly. Unlike Xiaodie, after Xiaodie was taken away in Huize County, the escort team was robbed and killed on the way, but no clues were left behind. So big that Qi Ning has never even met Xiaodie in person. To find Xiaodie, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack. Zhuo Xianer disappeared in the capital. The Jinyi Qi family has good connections in the capital, but Zhuo Xianer has never been found. The news made Qi Ning worried all the time, fearing that he would be caught by Duan Qingchen's accomplices.
But if it is really Duan Qingchen's accomplice who catches Zhuo Xianer, he will definitely use Zhuo Xianer as a bargaining chip to propose conditions to Qi Ning. Qi Ning has also been waiting. He hopes that someone will really come to him to negotiate terms. At least there was news about Xian'er, but after Xian'er disappeared, there was no news. No news is the most terrible news.
Tonight, he thought he had found Zhuo Xian'er. No matter who she was, as long as he could be sure that she was still alive, Qi Ning would feel at ease. However, when he saw this girl's true appearance, it was completely different from Zhuo Xian'er's appearance. Qi Ning's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Then he became depressed.
He leaned on a thick bamboo, feeling an unprecedented sense of fatigue all over his body. He raised his head slightly, looked at the night sky through the gaps between the bamboos, and murmured to himself: "Xian'er, where are you? Do you know that I have been looking for you?"
