Li Chaoge watched Gu Mingke approaching with his own eyes, and the cool breath on his body instantly surrounded her, and finally, a soft and cool touch was printed on his forehead.
Obviously there was a more intimate contact just now, but it was not as good as now. His light imprint on the center of her brow moved her heart far more than kissing.
Gu Mingke's lips quickly?Leave?, just a taste, not much taste of lust, but very reassuring. He sat back on the bed, his eyes were still soft and calm, like a jar of old wine, almost drunk to the heart.
Singer Li Chao tightly pinched the hem of her clothes. She wanted to say something several times, but she couldn't get it out of her mouth. Finally, she worked up the courage and said, "But..."
Gu Mingke stretched out his hand and stopped her words: "I know."
Li Chaoge looked at him uncertainly, with cautious eyes: "Then? Are you okay?"
Is it okay? Gu Mingke didn't know, but he got to this point, everything was out of his heart. No matter whose doom it was, Gu Mingke recognized it.
Gu Mingke smiled and stroked her hair lightly: "It's okay."
Li Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief, the precedent of Mudan and Yang Hua? In front of him, Li Chaoge was really afraid that it would affect Gu Mingke. Since he said it's okay, then? It's not a problem.
Li Chaoge was instantly relieved, and she asked, "Where is the nightmare beast, let's go and deal with the nightmare beast."
Gu Mingke nodded: "OK."
Li Changle was always sleepy tonight, she took leave early and went back to the palace to rest. She was sleeping on the bed, dreaming that the yellow sand was billowing in the frontier, and Pei Ji'an was going through life and death on the battlefield, and almost died several times.
Li Changle frowned tightly, and kept murmuring no. When the night guard heard this, she hurried in and called Li Changle: "Princess Guangning, what's wrong with you? Princess, wake up!"
However, Li Changle couldn't wake up no matter how much he shook, the maid finally found out that something was wrong, she panicked and didn't know what to do.
Princess Guangning is not like an ordinary nightmare. The court lady instinctively calls the imperial physician, but now that it is late at night, calling the imperial physician to mobilize the crowd may disturb the queen. For? A nightmare alarmed the queen...
The maid hesitated, and when she was in a difficult situation, a voice suddenly came from outside. The maid turned her head and saw Li Chaoge striding in, followed by several flustered maids.
Gu Mingke stopped outside and didn't come in, but even if he is also a princess, there is no reason to break into Li Changle's boudoir at night. Li Changle's maid tried to stop her: "Princess Sheng Yuan, Princess Guangning is already asleep, what do you have to say tomorrow..."
Li Chaoge ignored the chattering maid, she looked through the bed curtains, and saw Li Changle sleeping restlessly, obviously in a nightmare. Li Chaoge said with a sullen face, "She was trapped in a dream by a monster, if she doesn't save her, it will be too late."
Hearing about the monster, all the maids were startled. The night watch maid also trembled violently in her heart, for some reason, she just believed it.
No one dared to underestimate Li Chaoge's prestige, when she mentioned monsters, both the nuns and maids fell silent. Li Chaoge looked at the maid who was watching the night, and asked, "How long has she been like this?"
The night guard maid answered stutteringly: "I don't know. Princess Guangning fell asleep when she came back from 2:00 o'clock in Xushi. The servant heard voices outside. When I came in to check, I found that the princess was talking in her sleep."
At the second quarter of Xu time, Li Chaoge silently counted the time and said, "Get out of the way, all of you."
The maids did not dare to delay, and hurriedly dispersed outside the door. Li Chaoge drew out the Qianyuan Sword, the blade was sharp and sharp, emitting a faint red light. Li Chaoge looked at Li Changle behind the bed curtain, and suddenly stabbed at the trees outside the window without warning.
This tree seems to be quite old. Li Chaoge pierced through the trunk with a sword. It was obviously a dead thing without life. Where the sword pierced, a purple mist slowly scattered out. Li Chaoge kicked on the tree trunk, drew his sword with strength, and cut Ziwu in half with one sword.
Ziqi immediately burrowed into the ground as if he had been slashed, and soon disappeared. Li Chaoge frowned, and muttered to himself: "Is that? It's gone?"
In the palace? The maid's voice was heard, mixed with all kinds of panic shouts: "The princess is awake, go get water..."
Li Chaoge searched for the Nightmare Beast body around the tree trunk. They can? make such a big fight, and can? endure more than that? a small wisp of purple mist. Gu Mingke stood outside the palace and waited for Li Chaoge. He seemed to have a feeling, and looked to the ground, his eyes suddenly fixed.
No, the Nightmare Beast itself is not here? Someone else has been tricked.
·
After Li Chaoge left, Zhang Yanzhi waited for a long time, but he never saw Li Chaoge come back. He didn't give up, and simply chased him out to have a look.
As a result, she saw Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke lying on the grass looking at the stars. She was still wearing the original white riding outfit and did not change clothes.
She just didn't want to go back and see him.
Zhang Yanzhi suddenly felt sad. At this time, Gu Mingke found him. Gu Mingke left with Li Chaoge in his arms. Neither of them spoke.
Zhang Yanzhi knew what Gu Mingke was doing back with Li Chaoge in his arms, but he was powerless to stop him. The two of them were husband and wife, they fell in love at first sight, they were a match made in heaven, they were praised by everyone inside and outside the palace, what is Zhang Yanzhi
Zhang Yanzhi was not in the mood to go back to the banquet to apologize, so he simply went back to his room to be clean. Not long after he came back, he fell asleep.
He had this dream again, and dreamed of Li Chaoge again. In the dream, time was running backwards, and he saw her take off her demon town costume and turn into a young girl who had just entered the Eastern Capital and was blind. At the palace banquet, she saw a gentleman in Tsing Yi, a boy? He smiled at her from a distance, and Li Chaoge's eyes lit up instantly.
This was the beginning of her relationship with Pei Ji'an. I don't know if Pei Ji'an in the dream would regret that he wore Tsing Yi and greeted Li Chaoge that day. But Zhang Yanzhi regretted it very much. He also likes to wear blue clothes, and he also likes to read and play the piano. If there is no Gu Mingke, does he have a chance
Going back in time, Zhang Yanzhi saw her youth when she didn't know she was a princess. Zhang Yanzhi had long felt that Li Chaoge was different from the ladies he had seen. She was not coquettish at all, and never bossed her around.
When she was young, she traveled through the mountains like a ray of wind. Zhang Yanzhi saw her hunting for the first time, holding a sword for the first time, practicing lightness kung fu for the first time, riding a horse for the first time... He clenched his fists several times, but Li Chaoge managed to save himself from danger every time. , tigers, giant eagles, poisonous snakes, no matter how unimaginable opponents are, they can't match her growth speed.
Zhang Yanzhi also really admired her adoptive father and master, what kind of genius is she? Throwing the sleeping child into the tiger's den, he was lucky enough to figure it out.
Time slowly reached the age of seven, and she became a girl with buns. When she was a child, Li Chaoge did not have the heroic spirit of her adulthood. Her cheeks were round, her eyes were big and bright, and she looked as beautiful as a young girl even in coarse clothes. Her master was considered a human trafficker several times, and it was no wonder that others misunderstood him. It was really unlikely that he, a rough and dirty alcoholic, would be able to give birth to such a beautiful girl.
Li Chaoge always liked to cry when she was a child. Her master scolded her while looking for food for her. At that time, she was still unaccustomed to the folk life. She would be scratched by the fabric when she put on clothes, and her throat would be scratched by the rough noodles when she ate pancakes. Looking at that little girl with messy hair, Zhang Yanzhi really couldn't believe that when she grows up, she will become a big killer capable of kicking a tiger into the air.
Another year? Passed, she returned to six years old, Master disappeared from her side. She was wearing an exquisite red skirt and an elegant bun with ingots. She was submerged in the torrent, surrounded by bloodthirsty soldiers and monsters, Li Chaoge stumbled and kept crying "A Niang" and "Father Emperor".
Zhang Yanzhi's heart suddenly tightened. She shouldn't have experienced this. She is a princess of golden branches and jade leaves. Even if she is worthless, she should not experience the sufferings of the world. She was lost this time? For ten years? Even if she went back later, her relatives, friends and even her marriage had all changed. Zhang Yanzhi knew that her future life would not be happy. She turned against her relatives and lived apart from her husband. She possesses powerful force, but what she did violated her conscience and Master's teachings. She was in pain , walking alone while carrying the infamy.
All mistakes originated from this war. If she hadn't gotten lost, her life would have been as prosperous and beautiful as Li Changle's, carefree, arrogant and unreasonable.
In the dream, someone seemed to call him, as long as Zhang Yanzhi agreed to the conditions, the other party could help him change everything. Li Chaoge can grow up in the palace in peace, and after many years, when Li Chaoge is parading his horse through the streets, he may take a fancy to Zhang Yanzhi like he took a fancy to Gu Mingke, and snatch him back on the street.
Zhang Yanzhi's mind was full of turmoil. He hadn't made up his mind yet, and the time and space around him continued to retreat. There was a place in Zhang Yanzhi's heart that kept bewitching him, as if as long as he agreed, everything would be different.
Zhang Yanzhi opened his mouth and was about to speak when suddenly a chill came from above his head. The sky? The sky seems to be cut open by something? A crack, the earth? Cracks like melting ice, and the ground is covered with frost. Trees, soldiers, and the imperial convoy were turned into fragments and collapsed one after another. Zhang Yanzhi also suddenly lost weight? He fell into the endless abyss.
Zhang Yanzhi was startled awake by the feeling of falling, and suddenly opened his eyes. There was a purple mist lingering in front of his bed, as if he was hit by something and fell out heavily. The purple mist crackled and crackled and knocked down the decorations on the ground. When people outside heard the sound, they rushed towards this direction quickly.
"Goro, what's wrong with you?"
The attendants rushed in noisily, and when they saw the purple mist wrapped around the ground, they were all frightened and stunned. Ziwu slowly condensed into a pair of animal bones, it shook its head, and suddenly rushed towards Zhang Yanzhi with all its strength.
That? The animal bones are cold and pale, the eyes are hollow, and the black and purple mist is wrapped around the joints. It doesn't look like a good thing. It rushed to the bed in the blink of an eye, and a gust of wind arose between its movements, blowing away the curtains of the bed.
The green yarn fluttered, Zhang Yanzhi's eyes widened, he knew he should avoid it, but his body was completely unable to move. He watched the sharp and sinister horn approaching, as if he could even imagine the feeling of this horn piercing his throat.
Zhang Yanzhi was about to close his eyes, when suddenly a shadow fell in front of him, and a heavy blow exploded from his ear. Li Chaoge used his sword to hold the Nightmare Beast's horn, and the Nightmare Beast pushed forward with all its strength, Li Chaoge's figure suddenly flashed slightly, and he stood to the side. The Nightmare Beast lost its support and instinctively rushed forward. Li Chaoge's left hand was like a spirit snake, nimbly passing through the Nightmare Beast's skull, holding its horn, and at the same time? Ground? Twist to the side.
With a click, Zhang Yanzhi almost heard the sound of the Nightmare Beast's cervical spine being twisted and dislocated. Li Chaoge let go, turned around and kicked, kicking the skeleton far out of the room.
The nightmare beast crashed into a wall and hit the ground with all its strength, unable to get up for a long time. Li Chaoge moved his wrists, turned his head and looked to the side, his eyes were full of unadulterated doubts.
Didn't Gu Mingke say that the nightmare beast only attacked the woman? Why did it come to Zhang Yanzhi? Li Chaoge focused on checking the family members. If she hadn't heard the noise, she wouldn't have known that the Nightmare Beast had come here.
It was only at this time that Zhang Yanzhi realized that there were people outside. He turned around and found Gu Mingke standing outside the curtain, dressed in white, with one hand behind his back, calmly said to Li Chaoge: "Pay attention to the outside, it will Ran."
Li Chaoge could only temporarily put aside his doubts and go out to deal with the nightmare beasts first. Zhang Yanzhi was surprised? Looking at Gu Mingke, the dream suddenly collapsed just now, Zhang Yanzhi thought it was Li Chaoge, but Li Chaoge just arrived, so? Could it be that...
Gu Mingke didn't look in Zhang Yanzhi's direction at all, he walked out leisurely with his hands behind his back. The attendants scrambled and scrambled to rush towards Zhang Yanzhi, while Gu Mingke was walking against the current in white clothes, out of tune with the people around him.
They just had an unpleasant experience during the day, and Gu Mingke is probably not in a good mood until now. But Gu Mingke still saved Zhang Yanzhi in time, then waved his sleeves and left without saying a word.
In fact, Zhang Yanzhi's here? Gu Mingke was really negligent. According to the usual logic, Gu Mingke locked his target on the woman. But he forgot that the Nightmare Beast feeds on love, and women are slender and sensitive, but it doesn't mean that the Nightmare Beast only eats women.
It is also possible for some men with true feelings.
Gu Mingke walked out of the room, thinking that Zhang Yanzhi is really annoying, and he is annoying when he sees him.
It was quiet in the middle of the night, and the movements here had alarmed many people, and lights were lit up in various parts of the palace. The queen puts on her clothes. She is always meticulous and majestic. She is not wearing makeup at the moment, so she can clearly see the dimples on her face. It wasn't until this time that the women could realize that the queen was indeed very old.
Zhang Yanchang was by the empress's side, waking up in a hurry in the middle of the night, and no one had time to take care of his appearance, so he could more and more feel the age gap between the two. The queen asked with a sullen face, "What's going on outside?"
"There seems to be a monster over there by Zhang Wulang, and Princess Sheng Yuan has already rushed over."
The "Chuan" between the Queen's eyebrows frowned more and more tightly: "Monster?"
Li Chaoge stood in the garden, holding Qianyuan Sword in his hand, and confronted the nightmare beast intently. The Nightmare Beast is only a skeleton, with black holes around its eye sockets, looking extremely penetrating. Gong'e had fainted several times, and the rest of them screamed and hid in the distance, covering their eyes and not daring to look. The Nightmare Beast lowered its body, looking for an opportunity to attack. Li Chaoge also stared at it motionlessly.
Zhang Yanzhi hurriedly put on an outer shirt, and walked out of the hall despite everyone's dissuasion. The attendants tremblingly followed behind, constantly urging him to go back, but Zhang Yanzhi turned a deaf ear to him. He glanced around, and there was a terrifying skeleton standing in the lush garden, with purple air constantly overflowing from the cracks in the white bones. Li Chaoge stood alone on the opposite side of the animal bone, and further away, there were palace servants who were stumbling around, eunuchs who were out of their minds, and Gu Mingke who was standing under the eaves, leisurely and contented.
Gu Mingke was still wearing Bairi's full-length clothes, and his whole body was spotless. The vegetation behind him was lush, and the green was as thick as oil paint, and he stood on the side of the steps with his hands behind his back, elegant and leisurely, independent from the world.
It is incompatible with everything around it, but it happens to be incomparably harmonious.
A petal flew past Zhang Yanzhi's eyes, he regained his senses and couldn't help but look forward. A gust of wind blew up in the garden, and the purple petals on the trees, grass, and ground flew up one after another, spinning around the man and the beast in the middle like a whirlpool.
Li Chaoge's sword was erected, the true energy around him was surging, and the hem of his clothes danced without the wind. The Nightmare Beast lowered its body and suddenly rushed forward. Li Chaoge jumped up from the ground almost at the same time, the tip of the sword slashed across, and the petals formed a chain along the sword strokes, attacking the Nightmare Beast one after another. The Nightmare Beast was caught by the petals repeatedly, and it couldn't break free? It was so annoyed that it suddenly turned to the sky and roared.
The roar spread throughout the palace like waves, and the rustling wind passed through the grass, as if some kind of response, the purple mist came from everywhere, and the lake was filled with sweet fragrance inside and outside. The petals were suddenly broken, and they flew around and shot around. The attendant hurriedly pulled Zhang Yan back. Just as they escaped, a flower petal flew over where Zhang Yanzhi was standing just now. The slender petals were deeply embedded into the pillar like a sharp knife, more than an inch deep.
All kinds of screams sounded from around. The load-bearing pillars of the palace are made of the strongest wood, even if it is so, there will be cracks. If it falls on a person, it is unimaginable.
Li Chaoge didn't use the wan sword at all. From the perspective of his eyes, he shot down the petals flying from all directions as if he could predict it. The movement was so fast that he could hardly see clearly in the rain of flowers. There was a line of petals rushing straight towards her, Li Chaoge dodged backwards, but there were trees behind, Li Chaoge couldn't avoid it, he folded his body and stepped on the tree trunk, stepping to a high place against the weight. Her steps were light and fast, and the petals followed her, piercing through the tree trunk. The last and strongest wave of petals swirled towards her. Flying up, the waist rotated slightly in the air, just avoiding the petals.
But her long hair fell behind her, the tie was cut off by petals, and the black hair spread out instantly? Li Chaoge landed on the ground, her long hair fluttering. Without pausing, she made a sword move with her backhand. Her true energy rushed out with her as the center of the circle, instantly bouncing the purple sea of flowers far away.
The surrounding trees were all impacted by the air wave, and the leaves and fallen flowers were flying one after another. The people around had to cover their eyes and backed away again and again. They managed to open their eyes and saw Li Chaoge attacking the nightmare beast with a sword in his hand. She was still wearing the white riding outfit that she used to wear during the day. She was clean, tall, slender and neat, and she could move freely among the purple petals. Every move could scratch the bones of the nightmare beast. The nightmare beast kept retreating after being beaten by her, and finally let out a mournful cry, and was knocked to the ground by Li Chaoge's sword move.
Li Chaoge didn't relax, and immediately charged with the sword of persistence. She wanted to pierce the Nightmare Beast's skull with the ? sword, but the Nightmare Beast's empty eye sockets suddenly shed tears and let out a low mournful cry. Li Chaoge's movements were slightly startled. Looking at the skeleton, this nightmare beast is not very big, and it is at the best age in its life. It did nothing wrong, but because of the selfishness of those in power, it and its group were killed, and their bones were buried in the mud for many years, and they could not be freed.
Li Chaoge was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was a fragrance from behind. Li Chaoge dodged immediately, dodging Ziwu's attack. Gu Mingke stood under the eaves and said: "Nightmare beasts are good at spying on people's hearts, don't be fooled by their appearance. They have killed many people, and they are no longer the innocent beasts they used to be."
Li Chaoge settled down and no longer softened his heart. When he made a move, he was full of killing moves. Even if Nightmare Beast has practiced for many years, it will not be as good as Li Chaoge in the end. It was stabbed at the core, the purple mist on its body dissipated, its joints became stiff again, and finally turned into a pile of white bones, falling to the ground in a rustle.
This is the most powerful nightmare beast in the palace. After it fell, the lingering purple mist in the garden slowly subsided, and even the sweet fragrance that was everywhere faded. A mighty wind blows from the lake, blowing Li Chaoge's long hair into the air. Li Chaoge put away his sword, and lightly cupped his hands towards the high platform in the distance: "Forgive me, my lord, for your disrespect."
Accompanied by Zhang Yanchang and the maids, the empress watched for a long time in front of the palace. The queen nodded lightly. Although she had no decorations on her body, her voice did not diminish the majesty of the emperor: "What is this?"
Li Chaoge replied: "Nightmare beast. There used to be a temple here. The owner of the temple killed many strange beasts and buried them in the ground in order to gather feng shui. He artificially changed the geography of the mountains and rivers. Later, Emperor Yangdi demolished the temple. Yes, it will be transformed into a palace. But the Holy Majesty, rest assured, the leading nightmare beast has been killed, and the rest will not cause any trouble."
The queen nodded. The night was already very deep. Even if the queen was energetic, she was not a young man after all. After making sure that there was nothing wrong outside, the queen was relieved and went back to sleep with the support of everyone. The palace servants who were staggering to and fro came to their senses one after another. Those who came forward to pack their things packed up their things, and those who served their masters served their masters.
Gu Mingke went up against the current alone in the chaos. He separated from the crowd, took out a hairpin, and gently pulled up Li Chaoge's flying long hair.
Li Chaoge let Gu Mingke mess with her hair? Standing in the wind with her sword in hand, she asked softly, "How many such nightmare beasts are there?"
"a lot of."
Li Chaoge paused for a while and asked, "The wages of the people who built the temple? Why did they do this?"
Gu Mingke didn't answer. Li Chaoge thought to himself, why? Ordinary people would do anything to gather wealth, and the emperor's family would do anything to gather power.
Eventually, she asked, "Who is he?"
·
Even if Li Chaoge said he was fine, every time he eats and sleeps, he thinks that there is a pile of bones under his feet, which is still quite frustrating. How many days did the queen live? She was not interested, so she simply ordered to leave. And? Li Chaoge stayed in the palace to carry out the aftermath work.
Trees and lawns were dug up one after another? The originally peaceful and beautiful palace became unrecognizable in the blink of an eye. Bai Qianhe complained while carrying the shovel: "Is it my illusion, why? Why do I feel that after I came to Zhenyaosi, what I did the most? Digging people's bones?"
Mo Linlang led the crowd and stood in front of the flower garden. She felt it, nodded and said, "Here? Yes."
Without saying a word, Zhou Shao immediately rolled up his sleeves and started digging. Bai Qianhe was cursing, reluctant to join the bone-digging army.
They dug for three months, and they sorted out the bones at the bottom of the ground. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke stood on the grassland. The grass had turned yellow, but the reeds were still dense and swaying in the wind.
Numerous bones were gathered together, including human bones, nightmare beasts, and many animals that Li Chaoge couldn't name.
The subordinates lit torches and threw them on the pile of bones, watching those bones turn into powder. After so many years, they should have turned into mud, but they were bound by unknown spells and could not be freed. Now that the formation was destroyed, with the help of open flames, they quickly turned into fly ash.
The strong wind raised the flames high, Gu Mingke stared at the flying ashes, and said softly: "Ashes return to ashes, ashes return to ashes, natural reincarnation is irreversible, this is the best destination."
After Li Chaoge waited for all the bones to be burned and arranged for his subordinates to bury the ashes, he quickly walked towards Gu Mingke: "Let's go, we can go back to Beijing."
Gu Mingke said: "Autumn is high and the sky is dry, let them be careful again and again, they must not cause a fire on the grassland."
"I know." Li Chaoge said, "It's been arranged a long time ago. They all know the importance? There will be no mistakes."
Gu Mingke was relieved, and walked out of the palace with her. The two were walking on the grassland, and the autumn wind blew by, making their clothes flutter.
Compared with when he first came to the palace, today's grassland is much more decayed, and the grass is full of weeds. The once beautiful purple flowers have all withered, but Li Chaoge feels at ease looking at it. The hem of her clothes swept across the grass, disturbing a dandelion next to her. The dandelion trembled, and the tiny fluff was like white umbrellas, flying into the distance on the wind
In the distance, the phantom of the nightmare beast appeared faintly. The family of three rubbed the horns affectionately. The horns on the top of the little beast's head were not as majestic as their father's, but only had a small tip. It slammed into his father with all his strength, and ran away into the distance.
Thousands of trees inherit the new rain and dew, and thousands of doors face the old rivers and mountains. I can only see the colorful clouds flying endlessly, so I have to wait for Longyan to come and go.

The author has something to say: Ten thousand trees inherit the new rain and dew, and thousands of doors face the old rivers and mountains. I can only see colorful clouds flying endlessly, so I should only come and go to wait for Longyan. ——"Looking for Fortune in Shangyang Palace" Liu Changqing
