The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 87 Escape
Looking at the head that rolled to her feet, and at the face full of disbelief, Li Xiuling covered her mouth to prevent screams from coming out of her mouth.

But the violent trembling of her arms still showed the fear in her heart.

No matter how smart and cunning she is, she is still only in her early 20s and has always been well protected. She is not used to blood and fighting like her close friend Yan Hongxia.

And the owner of the head under her feet was one of the maids she sent to report.

From a month ago, Li Xiuling had already discovered that something was wrong with the person next to her pillow. Not only had she not touched her for a long time, but she also put Erlang Zhao Chen in danger and used it as bait to lure out Aunt Mei and her husband. People from "Xinguang Temple".

This seems to be nothing on the surface, it is a very calm and "correct" approach... But Zhao Chen is the son of her husband Zhao Song, and even Aunt Mei has served him for many years, so it is impossible for her to have no feelings. Let her fall into that situation.

This kind of disregard made Li Xiuling shudder when he recalled it now.

So she deliberately asked her good friend Yan Hongxia to investigate this matter, firstly because her own people can control the situation within a certain range and avoid bringing bad influence to the Zhao family;
Second, it is also a temptation to the husband.

Zhao Song didn't object at that time, but happily accepted it, which made Li Xiuling let go of her suspicions, and even offered her husband some kind words in front of Yan Hongxia.

But the series of events that happened after Yan Hongxia left Bingquan made the seeds of doubt in her heart germinate again.

First, Zhao Song began to favor a maid in his family so much that he played and sang every night, and he didn't even send his son off to Bingquan.

In Li Xiuling's impression, his husband had never been so obsessed with that kind of thing, but he was often unable to do what he wanted.

What made her even more terrified was that when she was taking care of her father who was assassinated and injured a few days ago in the town guard's mansion, she found that all the cronies around her father had been replaced, and her father's spirit was also very abnormal.

She wanted to tell her husband about this, but when she was looking for someone to call Zhao Song over, she suddenly realized that the people around her husband were also new faces who had only appeared in the past three months... and those "old people" were either They were sent to Dalang and Erlang, or they took a leave of absence for various reasons...

And they are more or less connected with that favored aunt.

After Li Xiuling came to her senses, she thought carefully about the changes in the two towns and one township in recent months, and found something even more terrifying:
That is, the Chijin area has recently changed a group of people who are involved in both the officialdom and the world, so that she now wants to find someone for help, but she doesn't know who to turn to!

Why has no one noticed such an obvious abnormality?Is it because the people behind the scenes are too secretive, or have all those who noticed the anomaly have been cleaned up?
In desperation, Li Xiuling, who was like falling into an ice cave, used Yan Hongxia's spy from the Daoist Office who stayed by her side, and asked her to go to Yumen with her letter to ask for help.

In order to confuse the public, she also sent seven or eight maids and servants as cover.

But now, the head of the spy from the Daoist Office had rolled to his feet, and the secret letter was obviously not delivered.

"Li Xiuling, do you think the person you arranged can really leave Bingquan?"

At this time, a charming voice came to her ears, Li Xiuling looked up, and saw a woman about fifteen or sixteen years old walked into her room with small graceful steps, her appearance was beautiful and elegant, The skin is smooth and tender, which makes people feel inexplicable impulse when they see it.

The person who came was Xiangxue, her husband's favorite maid recently.

"You're not Xiangxue." Li Xiuling pretended to look at her calmly, then shook her head and said.

Xiangxue is one of her dowry maids, Li Xiuling is very familiar with her, although the appearance of the person in front of her is the same, but the temperament is very different.

"Of course I'm not..." Xiangxue gave a weird laugh, then stretched out her hand to scratch her face, and immediately tore off a piece of human skin, revealing another beautiful face inside.

Seeing this, Li Xiuling felt a chill in her heart, because the human skin in the opponent's hand still had dried blood stains, it was probably peeled off from the real Xiangxue's face.

As a member of the Li family, although Li Xiuling's cultivation talent is not high, her knowledge is definitely not low. Immediately, she thought of the "disguise" spell of an evil organization. look like.

"'Fox Apparition'...you are from the 'Four Evil Halls'!" Li Xiuling said affirmatively.

At the same time, she also clasped the jade talisman that Yan Hongxia gave her tightly in her hand.

"Xiangxue" didn't answer, but took a few steps forward, looked at Li Xiuling, and said with a half-smile: "Li Xiuling, you may not know, but I've always been jealous of you!
"As a concubine of a rich family, how can you be favored and married to a husband who loves you so much... But I have been bullied, and I have to fight and grab everything by myself?
"So, the moment I came to Bingquan Town and sneaked into Zhao's house, I decided to destroy you!
"Unfortunately, Master 'Tiger' has not allowed me to act rashly, otherwise I will definitely let you try what it feels like to 'a little bit of red lips'."

At this point, she suddenly laughed morbidly, and continued,
"However, your husband's taste is very good. He has served me very satisfactorily these days, and I will show mercy and let him live until the time when I personally send you and his sons and daughters to the altar."

Li Xiuling could still remain calm when she heard the previous words, even if the woman on the opposite side was criticizing her husband, she was still calm. After all, her husband was probably seduced by magic, but after learning that her children would be sent to the altar, her His expression finally changed, and he asked sharply, "What have you done to my Xi'er and Mian'er?"

"Haha... I'm finally in a hurry, I just like you the way you are now!" "Xiangxue" laughed nervously again, and then said,
"Anyway, you're going to die, so it's okay to tell you, our 'Four Evil Halls' are about to sacrifice blood to the Chijin area, and open the seal that seals the soul of Lord 'Redbearded Dragon'.

"And your pair of sons and daughters are the most important materials for making the 'key' to unlock."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Li Xiuling's face again, wanting to see an expression of pain and despair on it.

Her favorite thing to do is to corrupt these happy little sluts and make them suffer as she has suffered.

But who would have thought that Li Xiuling did not do what she wanted, instead she directly raised her hand and threw the "Jade Talisman" that she had prepared for a long time over her head and face.

The "Jade Talisman" instantly turned into a red sword energy and shot at "Xiangxue".

But "Xiangxue" already knew that Yan Hongxia had left something for Li Xiuling's life, so how could she be unprepared?
Moreover, the sword energy transformed by this jade talisman is just a "dead thing" after all. Although it has the ability to track the breath, it is still too rigid when no one controls it, so "Xiangxue" just relies on flexible skills to change directions several times in a row , and hid in the past.

But when she looked at Li Xiuling's position again, she happened to see the scene where the other party pulled the mechanism and the whole person fell into the secret passage together with the chair.

When she rushed to the closing mechanism, she was one step too late.

"Li Xiuling, you can't escape!" "Xiangxue" said bitterly, thinking of the possible punishment Master "Tiger" might give.

At the same time, she raised her true energy, smashed the entrance of the mechanism on the ground with one palm, looked at the exposed dark passage, and jumped down.

"Ah! Ah! Ah... oh..."

However, the next moment, the screams continued.

……

In another room of the Zhao family, the patriarch Zhao Song dropped a chess piece and murmured:
"Xiuling's vitality lies in the abnormal spirit of that stupid woman 'Fox'."
