Qi Ning himself didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he realized that the sun was shining brightly and there was a rushing sound in his ears.
He was startled and immediately stood up. He turned around and looked over. He saw a waterfall-like water column on the rockery beside the python pond, filling the python pond with water. In the python pond, he could faintly see the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon squirming. .
There is no doubt that when he fell asleep, the palace servant in charge of taking care of the Dragon Garden had already turned on the mechanism for filling the rockery with water. The palace servant was not willing to stay in the cold Dragon Garden any longer and did not check the bamboo forest. Naturally, Qining was not found in the bamboo forest.
Qining thought of the woman in black and looked down, only to see that the woman in black was still lying on the ground. The sunlight falling from the gaps in the bamboo forest shone on the woman's face, covering up the frost and snow. When the sun shines on her skin, it turns red.
Qi Ning was overjoyed to see the blush on her face. He hurriedly squatted down and reached out to explore her forehead, and found that the forehead that had been shiny last night had returned to warmth.
Although this woman was not Zhuo Xianer, Qi Ning was very happy, thinking that what Chi Danmei said was indeed true. This southern snow dragon was really magical. The woman in black was injured so seriously last night. I just took some python blood and escaped death. I was wondering if I should get some python blood to store when I left.
The warm sunlight shone down, and the corners of the woman in black's eyes trembled slightly. When Qi Ning saw this, he felt happy. When he saw the woman slowly opening her eyes, her clear eyes were slightly dull at this time, with a trace of Confused: "I... where am I?"
Qi Ning sat down cross-legged next to her and said, "You are finally awake. You can see the sunshine today. Thank you Bodhisattva for your blessing."
The woman's delicate body trembled and she immediately turned around and saw Qining looking at her with a smile. Her face changed slightly and she struggled to sit up. Although she was still weak, she was obviously much better than last night.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Qi Ning said, "If I want to harm you, you won't be able to wake up."
"It's... it's you!" The woman obviously remembered what happened last night: "Why are you here?"
Qi Ning shrugged and said: "It's time to ask you. If you hadn't been ignorant of personnel and almost lost your life here, I would have left the palace long ago." He thought that the Southern Xinjiang Snow Dragon had woken up now, and he wanted to After leaving the palace, you can only wait for the snow dragon to fall asleep again, and then you have to wait until late at night. Otherwise, if you get into the water at this time, it would be strange if the snow python doesn't pounce on it. For the snow python, the python pond is its On the territory, any life that comes close is an enemy.
The woman in black lowered her head slightly, pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said, "You... saved me?"
Others didn't know it, but she was very aware of her injuries. She knew that she had really gone through hell last night.
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "I don't have that ability but you. You are seriously injured. It should be damage to your internal organs. Your whole body was cold last night. I had no choice but to get you some python blood. In fact, it was a dead end." Doctor Huo Ma, I never thought you could survive, your life is pretty tough." He pointed to the side of the python pond: "The benefactor you want to thank is over there." Since he knew that this woman was not Zhuo Xian'er, he spoke He was not as gentle as he was to Xian'er, and there was a hint of ridicule in his words.
The woman in black frowned slightly and was silent for a while before saying softly: "Thank you very much."
The sun shone on the face of the woman in black, making the already fair skin appear smoother and smoother. Her fair face, which had regained a lot of energy, had a hint of blush. Qining had already noticed last night that this woman had an outstanding appearance. At that time, he looked at it seemingly casually, but he looked at it carefully. He saw a woman with a beautiful nose and apricot eyes. Her facial features were very delicate, and her hair was coiled on top of her head. She looked to be in her early twenties. Her whole person looked elegant and refined, without the slightest bit of glamour. The sense of vulgarity and the beautiful temperament are really very different from Zhuo Xianer.
"Are you from the Northern Han Dynasty?" Qining asked suddenly.
The woman didn't react for a moment. She said "ah" and asked doubtfully: "Northern Han people?" As soon as the words came out, she suddenly realized something and immediately said: "I... I am from the north!"
Qining was so shrewd, and this woman's reaction immediately made him suspicious.
Last night in the bamboo forest, I heard the words of both sides of the confrontation with my own ears. The man in gray should be the eldest disciple of the Lord of Baiyun Island, and the words of the black robe and the woman also admitted that they were from Muyun Houbei. At the door of the hall at night.
Beitang Huanye is the Marquis of the Northern Han Dynasty. Since these two people are his people, they naturally sneaked in from the Northern Han Dynasty. However, the woman's reaction was obviously that she was a little confused when asked by Qi Ning. If she was really from the Northern Han Dynasty, There is absolutely no chance of such a reaction.
Qi Ning was suspicious, thinking to himself, could it be that this woman and Hei Pao were not from Mu Yunhou at all, and were just pretending last night
It's just that when the East China Sea disciple asked, he pointed at the great masters. It seemed that the people who came to steal the treasure must be the disciples of these great masters. Qining couldn't figure out why the East China Sea disciple was so sure that the black robe must be the great master. people.
If the black robe and this woman are not from Mu Yunhou, then who are they? Why do they have to fake their origins in front of the disciples of Donghai
Qi Ning's heart was full of doubts, but his face was calm and calm. He saw that although the woman tried her best to stay calm and cover up, her eyes were obviously a little flashy.
"It is said that they are competing for the throne in the north. I wonder who Mu Yunhou supports?" Qi Ning said with a smile, "Yes, when did you come from the north?"
The woman frowned and said, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience of answering." She stared at Qining and asked, "Who are you?"
She has asked Qi Ning's identity several times, but Qi Ning did not want her to confess. He smiled faintly and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, but since you are from the Northern Han Dynasty, you sneaked into my palace in Da Chu. You can't just relax like this." Get away.”
There was a cold look in the woman's eyes, and she sneered: "I understand, you saved me because you wanted to interrogate a confession from me."
Qi Ning shrugged and said: "Forcing spies to question is what the Shenhou Mansion has to do, and I don't have the leisure to do so. Well, I only ask you one question. As long as you tell me, you can go wherever you want. I Never stop it."
"What's the problem?" The woman moved slightly, as if to put some distance between herself and Qining.
Qi Ning's expression became grim and he said: "What exactly did you steal when you sneaked into the palace? Why did the disciples of the great grand master do such a thing?"
The woman said: "If I say something casually, you won't know whether it is true or false."
"Then hurry up and make up something good." Qi Ning said: "It is natural that someone who can make a great master become a gentleman is not something that ordinary people can do."
The woman looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, and said, "I... I have to leave... I can't delay any longer...!"
Qi Ning saw a trace of anxiety on her eyebrows, as if something was urgent. He rolled his eyes and smiled lightly: "Last night you left with your things. Your companions only thought that you had succeeded, but they didn't expect that the things had been stolen." Take it away, if your companions haven't seen you for a long time, they may suspect that you have taken the things away."
The woman's body was shaken. Qi Ning leaned on the bamboo and put his arms behind his head: "The people from the East China Sea took away the treasure, and your companions didn't know anything about it. And if the people from the East China Sea came to take it under the orders of the Lord of Baiyun Island, The treasure, after getting it, will definitely send the treasure to Baiyun Island quickly." Looking at the sunlight shining down from Lin Feng, he seemed to be saying to himself: "At this time, if nothing else happens, they have already arrived. After arriving in the capital, you are rushing back to Baiyun Island. You are bound to get the treasure, so naturally you cannot just watch them take it away. As long as they return to Baiyun Island, you will only be disappointed and have no courage to land on the island to get the treasure. So now you If you inform me in time, your companions will still have a chance to rob the treasure halfway. If you delay a moment, your hope of regaining the treasure will be reduced. I don’t know if I am right?"
The woman looked at Qi Ning with a strange expression. She bit her lip and said nothing. She stood up holding the bamboo beside her. Qi Ning shook his head and said, "You haven't told me what it is yet. Do you think I will let you go?"
"I... have to go!"
"Don't be so stubborn." Qi Ning sighed: "What matters is strength. With your current situation, you are no match for me. If I want to stop you, it will be easy." Before the woman could speak, Qi Ning had already raised his head. Shou said: "Don't use the same trick you used against the Donghaimen last night. You said you would summon the palace guards and everyone would die. I don't believe this. I will die if I am caught, but I am worried about you. After being caught, you were immediately sent to the Shenhou Mansion. Believe me, as long as you enter the Shenhou Mansion, the people in the Shenhou Mansion will be able to uncover even eight generations of your ancestors."
The woman looked even more stunned.
"You are not from the Northern Han Dynasty, and you are not from Beitang Huanye." Qi Ning stared at the woman's eyes with deep eyes, as if he could see her heart directly from her eyes: "I don't know why you pretend to be Beitang." People of Huanye, but one thing I can be sure of is that your identity cannot be seen in the light. You are afraid that your identity will be known to others. If your origins are really known, it may bring you great trouble. You My opponent is not Chu or Han, but... the great master!"
"You... who are you?" The woman couldn't help but take a step back, with a look of horror in her eyes.
Qi Ning smiled slightly and said, "Don't ask me who I am anymore. Answer my question first. What was it that you were fighting for last night?"
The woman frowned, hesitated, and finally said: "That thing is just a rare treasure to you and everyone in the world. After all, it is something external to the body, but for some people, it is a matter of life. Things." After a pause, he softly chanted: "The birds sing and play with the birds, the phoenix plays with the blue waves, that is a guqin!"
Qi Ning kept staring at the woman's eyes. When she heard her chanting those two sentences, her face changed drastically and she lost her voice: "Xian'er, you... you are Xian'er!"
