Jiaochu

Emperor Zhou and the high priest were both in the innermost room on the second floor. The previously burned gauze tents had been replaced with new ones. There were lamps all around, and there was a strong scent of incense lingering inside. There seemed to be smoke floating around, letting in the light. It also became a bit hazy and erratic.

Huo Xuan raised her hand and knocked on the door, and the high priest's voice came from inside, "Who?" After Huo Xuan reported her name, she said that she had brought an expert to see the emperor. The high priest said no, and Huo Xuan said this The master praised him in this way.

The high priest came over and opened the door. His face was a little dark. When he saw that the master was Ye Lingxi, his face became even darker. Before the high priest could speak, Huo Xuan slipped in first. As soon as he entered the door, he was choked by the scent of incense. He fanned his nose with his hand and said, "Why are you lighting so much incense? I'm not afraid of infusing the Emperor."

Ye Lingxi also walked in. The scent of incense was indeed choking, but it could be smelled as a soothing incense. He He and Ling Ding were choked by the scent and coughed. They fanned themselves with a handkerchief for a while before they felt better.

"Princess, the Emperor is inside. I will take you over to have a look."

The high priest stopped in front of Huo Xuan and said that the emperor was taking a medicinal bath. Ye Lingxi looked behind the gauze curtain. There was a bang and an iron cage hit her head. Then there was a bang and a puff of smoke exploded in front of her eyes. A strong smell It penetrated into the nasal cavity and made people dizzy. She immediately held her breath and pretended to faint.

Both He He and Ling Ding fainted.

She heard Huo Xuan's voice:

"She is a princess, the Queen's biological sister, so you are not afraid that Emperor Dahui will settle accounts with us. If a war breaks out, we in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will be in trouble."

The high priest sneered: "The princess was captured by Xiyan's assassins, what does it have to do with us?"

Huo Xuan clapped her hands and said: "It kills two birds with one stone. Since you want to act, you have to act realistically. I think we should just send the princess to Xiyan. We can't keep the princess here forever." He looked at the iron cage. , "This thing is heavy enough. You are not afraid of killing people. I will take them back first and send them away at night to avoid being discovered by the Long Shadow Guard."

Then, she heard the sound of hinges pulling, and the iron cage rose upwards, then clicked and hung in mid-air. Huo Xuan just squatted down and suddenly stopped moving. When the high priest came to check the situation, he just bent down and suddenly stopped moving. There was a talisman paper affixed to each of them, and only their eyeballs could still move.

Ye Lingxi walked over and opened the door, moved the heaves and bells outside, and then returned to the house to search for the antidote from the high priest. The antidote was a very refreshing medicinal oil. After she smelled it, her head felt... The remaining drowsiness in her body disappeared. She put the medicinal oil under their noses and smelled it for a while, and they slowly woke up. The three masters and servants worked together to tie the two people tightly, which was safer. Ye Lingxi asked Hehe and Lingdang to watch the two people, and she went behind the gauze tent to check.

There was a large bathtub at the end, with a person soaking in it. There was a pungent fishy smell in the bathtub, which was covered up by the strong smell of soothing incense outside.

There were dense black threads crawling all over the man's body, which made him shudder and make his scalp numb.

She resisted her nausea and looked at the man's face. The sight almost made her vomit. She covered her mouth and saw a piece of yellowed paper on the desk. It looked old. She went over and looked at it. Just as he took a look, the lights in the room suddenly went out, and the extremely cold aura hit him again.

The surrounding fire suddenly ignited. She didn't know if it was caused by hallucination or evil magic. The fire was very cold, and the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly. She stretched out her hand to explore and felt the cold and chilly breath going straight to her fingertips. Digging inside, she remembered that there was a secret passage in the room. Emperor Zhou appeared from the right, so the secret passage should be on the right. Looking at the blue fire blocked in front of her, the four words Yan Miao said suddenly echoed in her mind, "Stick to your heart." She gritted her teeth and rushed into the fire, as if she was rushing into the depths. In the coldness of the bottom, a picture of lightning and thunder suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and the rumbling thunder was deafening.

There was thunder and lightning in the sky. A man raised his sword and drew the thunder and lightning into the sword. "Yao Fei, you have done so many evil things, which cannot be tolerated by heaven!" The woman was trapped by the formation, black energy surged from her body, and her eyes were extremely resentful. Thunder and lightning entered the sword, and the sword body burned. The sky fire started, and the woman looked up to the sky and screamed, with blood and tears oozing out of her eyes, "Zhou Bing, if you dare to betray me, I will never let you go even if you are a ghost!" Before she finished speaking, the sharp sword burning with sky fire penetrated the woman's chest. , the woman was immediately engulfed in flames, and her screams lingered for a long time.

It was the high priest who caused the fire from heaven to kill the demon concubine, but he also died on the same night due to his injuries. Before his death, he asked Emperor Zhou to bury Concubine Yao's bones in a rich burial, build a temple, and worship her with incense. Dispel his resentment. However, Emperor Zhou sealed the ashes of Concubine Yao into a well, so that she could never be reincarnated. After an unknown number of years, the seal at the wellhead gradually decayed. One night, a cloud of black gas broke through the wellhead and disappeared...

She saw something shining in the black air. When she wanted to see clearly, her neck seemed to be pinched by two hands. When she struggled, she pressed the mechanism on the wall, leaned forward, and fell into In the secret passage.

Thick smoke billowed and the fire spread rapidly. Hehe and Lingdang ran out with two other people. Although these two people were not good people, they could not just watch people being burned alive.

The talismans on the two men's bodies were removed, but the ropes on their hands were still tied tightly.

Huo Xuan tried to untie the rope, but the knot became tighter and tighter.

Hehe and Lingdang shouted for help. Just now, their throats were choked by smoke in the building. They were coughing and gasping for breath. A figure immediately rushed into the fire. They were so fast that neither of them could see clearly who it was. More than a dozen dragon figures Wei all showed up to put out the fire.

The billowing smoke soon attracted a large group of people. The leader was the second son of the Wang family. Without saying a word, he was about to take down the Long Shadow Guard. The high priest said that Ye Lingxi, the Huayang Princess, intended to assassinate Emperor Zhou. , also set fire to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, and also falsely accused He He and Ling Dang of trying to kill people and silence them.

The Long Shadow Guard held the handle of the knife, and the atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out. The Second Young Master Wang was about to give orders, and a fight was inevitable, when a man spoke.

"and many more."

Everyone's eyes fell on Huo Xuan. He went over to persuade him, "Second brother, the emperor is still inside. It's important to put out the fire." Second Young Master Wang looked at the high priest. At this time, there was a bang and the building exploded. The waves were so high that even if you wanted to rush in and save people, you couldn't. The high priest shouted heartbrokenly to the emperor, and pointed the finger at the Long Shadow Guards, saying that they had killed Emperor Zhou, and they must pay with blood. The Second Young Master Wang ordered to take action, and Huo Xuan shouted to stop, but it was useless.

The two sides started fighting, and a figure swished past, picked up the grain and the bell, and flew away.

During the fight, Huo Xuan took the opportunity to pick up a sword that fell on the ground and cut the rope. Then she put a knife on the second son Wang's neck when he was unprepared, then took out a signal bomb from his arms and put it in the sky.
