Chapter 163 Why is she so beautiful
"Or, I didn't do it all because of her...I said it, I'm not stupid. If I treat accidents one after another as just accidents or coincidences, then I'm really a fool."

"No matter what the reason is, it is obvious that someone wants our lives. Only the three of us are alive, so we can count on the future!"

"I thought we were careful enough, but unexpectedly..."

"It was really the best way I could think of at the time." Speaking of this, Xu Jiao suddenly remembered, "By the way, you come to save me, so what about Wu Niang and A Wan? What should they do?" ?”

"Don't worry! I'll save you, your second brother will worry about them." He Lianshu said in a flat tone.

"My second brother?" Xu Jiao was startled.

He Lianshu nodded lightly and said, "When you blew the wolf whistle, your second elder brother was near me. I don't know what he thought, so he insisted on following me. I was in a hurry and couldn't care about him, so I had to let him followed."

But it's good, at least Wang Wan and Wei Wuniang have something to say.While Xu Jiao heaved a sigh of relief, he thought bitterly in his throat that he might not be able to wash it off at Jing Qin's place.

"Tell me... who the hell is, and what is it for, who is trying so hard to kill us?" After a moment of silence, Xu Jiao suddenly asked in a hoarse voice.

It was already dark outside, and the chill was rising. She wrapped her arms tightly around herself, looking at the flickering flames in front of her.

He Lianshu leaned against the mountain wall, looked up at her, "What do you think?"

"The only connection between the three of us is naturally that birthday. Could it be that we are regarded as some kind of sacrifice?" Xu Jiao actually pondered a lot, and had to think about feudal superstition.

He Lianshu looked at her inexplicably, "Actually, it may not be because he wants to kill you."

Xu Jiao said in surprise, "This is arson and it took so much trouble today, isn't it to kill us? No!" Xu Jiao suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at He Lianshu, "Could it be that you know What's the inside story? By the way, didn't you say you wanted to help me investigate the fire in the palace last time? Did you find out something?"

"There are indeed some clues, but it's not clear. There was an abandoned palace in the palace, but people suddenly lived in it a few years ago. I thought it was His Majesty's golden house, no one cared. My people are looking into it. It was only after the fire incident that I realized that something was wrong. There were a lot of offerings in the palace, but there were not many silks and satins and rouge and gouache, on the contrary, there were more medicinal stones and cinnabar."

Cinnabar?

"Could it be that someone is making alchemy in that ruined palace?" Xu Jiao has read a lot of TV dramas and novels, and is more sensitive to cinnabar.

"That's right." He Lianshu nodded, looking at her with deeper eyes, "I didn't expect you to know this."

Xu Jiao smiled without feeling guilty at all, "Of course! My father treated our sisters as men, hired famous teachers, and taught them strictly since childhood. I know a lot about what this is. Governor Helian might as well discover it slowly. "

He Lianshu snorted, come on, he can attract such a boastful meal with a single sentence, how thick-skinned he is!
"So who lived in that ruined palace?" Xu Jiao asked.

"The security there is very strict, and it is almost impossible to sneak in. However, my people are watching outside, but they will pass by from time to time when they see the emperor. It was not easy to find out from the mouth of a small internal official who bought it. There lived a Taoist priest, who was highly valued by the emperor, and he was very respectful inside and out, and they respectfully called him 'National Teacher'."

National Division?It's becoming more and more like that evil heretic.Aren't these "national teachers" and "celestial teachers" the ones who like to be demons the most?

"It is said that the emperor is very convinced by the words of the national teacher, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he obeys his words. As for the others, I have not found out for the time being..."

Didn't it mean that the national teacher was closely guarded?Then where did he hear it?
Xu Jiao's eyeballs rolled around, and he realized more and more that Governor Helian's methods were extraordinary.

"Hey, you said..." Xu Jiao was silent for a moment, and then he opened his mouth, but as soon as he turned his eyes away, the rest of the voice automatically disappeared in his throat.

He Lianshu had already fallen asleep leaning against the mountain wall.

His face was somewhat pale, even in his sleep, his brows were tightly frowned, and he looked much weaker than usual.

Xu Jiao quietly stepped forward, already very close, but He Lianshu still didn't respond at all, "It seems that I'm really exhausted, and I slept so defenselessly. You are so relieved of me, Aren't you afraid that I'll take advantage of your deep sleep and be hungry?"

Xu Jiao whispered in his ear with a smile, but He Lianshu still didn't respond at all.

Xu Jiao looked at his sleeping face with the corners of her lips pursed. It was not the first time she was so close to him, but it was the first time she had such ample time to look at him carefully.

"It's a little unaccustomed to a person who is majestic and majestic on weekdays, but suddenly becomes sick and delicate. However, she is just as good-looking..."

I have to say, he looks extremely good-looking.The outline and facial features are deeper than those of ordinary Central Plains people, but not as rough as ordinary desert people, but still not lacking in refinement.In Xu Jiao's former world, there was an adjective for people with such looks, which was called thick-faced.

The edges and corners are sharp, and when viewed from the side, the tough and well-curved jaw line really kills her.Not to mention the thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose and thin lips, everything is in line with her intentions.

Xu Jiao stepped back to the fire, resting his chin on his hands, and put the pestle on his knees, looked at He Lianshu's sleeping face through the dancing flames, and sighed, "It's really on my aesthetic line, why is it so beautiful? So pretty!"

Looking at it, she lost her eyes, she blinked for a long time, until her eyelids became heavy and slowly drooped down, she tried a few times to no avail, and finally gave in, when her hand slipped again, she His head and half of his body fell down, buried on his knees, and fell into a deep sleep...

In the middle of the night, Xu Jiao was awakened by a strange sound.

When I opened my eyes, I heard He Lianshu's intermittent babbling in the Jie dialect, "Ata...no! Father Khan! You believe me, I'm not...you believe me, I'm different, I and I, Ana... No! I am different from that woman..."

Atta, Ana, these are parents in the Jie dialect.Xu Jiao frowned and listened, leaned forward, and raised his hand to touch his forehead—it was hot, Xu Jiao was startled, and suddenly withdrew his hand.

It seemed that the injuries on his body must be getting worse again. If there is an injury, there will be a cold. Right now, he must find a way to reduce the heat. If he continues to burn, he will be stupid.

The handkerchief on her body was lost when she ran for her life just now. Xu Jiao simply tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of her skirt. When she arrived at the entrance of the cave, it was still raining, so she wet the cloth with the rain, and went back to the cave to apply it to Helian Shu. The forehead, but the effect is not very good. After going back and forth several times, it is still very hot, and the mouth is still talking nonsense.

After thinking for a while, Xu Jiao gritted her teeth and tore open the front of his clothes.
