the first lady

Chapter 127

Qiao Ling'er and Lan Feng didn't answer the conversation, but followed Ganoderma lucidum and walked inside.The gradually darkening sky shrouded the figures of several people. The closer you got to the house, the more you could find its exquisiteness. Even outside the peach blossom forest, you could already hear the laughter of men and women coming from inside.

People in red clothes patrolled inside, occasionally passing by a group.

Ling Zhi pulled Qiao Ling'er and Lan Feng to squat down outside the peach blossom tree, and whispered: "Follow me later, don't get lost, you know?"

"Okay." Qiao Ling'er responded lightly, then bent her back and followed behind Lingzhi.

Lan Feng followed behind Qiao Ling'er and entered the dense peach blossom forest before nightfall.

Almost when he stepped into the peach blossom forest, the mechanism of the peach blossom formation had already been activated, and the peach blossom tree even started to move inadvertently.

"Someone broke into the peach blossom formation—" the voice of the patrol came after the first peach blossom moved.

"Come on, let's go!" Lingzhi snorted and grabbed Qiao Linger's arm.

Qiao Ling'er was also panicked, and immediately wanted to catch Lan Feng, but suddenly a peach blossom was planted between her and Lan Feng, "Lan Feng..."

"Miss..." Lan Feng's voice became distant almost instantly, completely blocked by the dense peach blossoms, so it became extremely blurred.

Qiao Ling'er immediately grabbed Lingzhi's hand and said coldly, "Let me go, I'm going to find Lanfeng."

"You want to die, don't you? Do you think it's possible for you to break through now?" Instead of letting go of Qiao Linger's hand, Lingzhi held her tighter. "Once the peach blossom formation is opened, it will be in a non-stop During the movement, unless you go out and stop the formation, everyone will be trapped inside. If you want to save her, follow me, otherwise we will die here together."

The serious reprimand made Qiao Linger's heart arouse, she frowned tightly, and then said: "Let's go!"

Seeing Qiao Linger's compromise, Lingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and dragged her to shuttle among the moving peach blossom trees.

The peach blossoms were falling, but Qiao Linger didn't care at all. The heat in her body seemed to be completely aroused, forcing her to keep calm.Lan Feng was still inside, she couldn't just watch her being trapped to death inside like this.

After a stick of incense, the Ganoderma lucidum pulled Qiao Ling'er out of the complicated peach blossom formation due to the movement of the last peach blossom.In front of them was a bright backyard, still brightly lit with candles.

"How can we close this array?" Qiao Ling'er looked at the several peach blossoms that were still moving, and couldn't help asking in a cold voice.

"The agency is nearby, let's look for it." Lingzhi replied, and also glanced at the small courtyard before saying, "Come on, let's go inside and have a look."

The two walked a few steps, and the two men in red came over as before, Qiao Ling'er and Lingzhi immediately separated and hid, and when the two came over, they shot at the same time, knocking them unconscious.

"Your skills are good." Lingzhi said in admiration.

"To each other." Qiao Ling'er replied without raising her head, then dragged the man in red and threw him under the railing.

"What are you doing with the knife?" On the other side, Ganoderma lucidum, which had hidden the other stunned man in red, couldn't help asking when Qiao Ling'er grabbed that man's saber in his hand.

"Just in case." Qiao Linger replied.

"That's right, then let's go now, two patrolling people have just passed by here, and no one will come for the time being." Lingzhi jumped into the corridor and took the lead.

Qiao Ling'er followed behind Ganoderma lucidum, there seemed to be no important people in this backyard, and there were few voices, but she could still hear the sound of playing with silk and bamboo outside.

Ganoderma lucidum walked into a room and gave Qiao Linger a look. The two were on the left and the right, one was in charge of investigating and the other was in charge of guarding.

"There's no one inside," Lingzhi said, "Let's go in and see if there's any mechanism."

Qiao Linger nodded, and squeezed her body into the room while paying attention.

In an instant, the smell of blood immediately made people feel dizzy, and the strong smell of blood was even stronger than that of a slaughterhouse.

Ganoderma lucidum immediately said: "There is blood here." Then she walked towards the delicate screen, and when she saw something behind, she exclaimed: "Qiao Ling'er, come and see, here is a pool of blood... ..."

Qiao Ling'er walked over, and the nearly ten-foot-wide pool was actually full of bright red blood, just looking at it almost made people vomit.

"What do you think the blood is used for?" Ganoderma lucidum asked Qiao Ling'er at the side with a cold face.

"I don't know..." Qiao Ling'er's face turned pale, seeing so much blood all of a sudden, her palms couldn't help sweating.

Ganoderma lucidum had sharp eyes, and the next moment, he saw a white porcelain bowl next to it, and there were traces of red in the bowl.

"Look at this." Ganoderma lucidum said in a deep voice after taking a look, and at the same time handed the white porcelain bowl to Qiao Ling'er, and said solemnly: "This is filled with blood, and, look at the side..."

Qiao Ling'er looked along the place pointed by Ganoderma lucidum, and there was an invisible trace on the outer edge of the place covered by dark red blood - lip marks.

"Why are there lip marks? Could this be..." Qiao Ling'er looked terrified, and her face was even paler than before.

Ganoderma lucidum suddenly let out a sinister sneer: "Bath in human blood, drink human blood, keep youth forever. Qiao Ling'er, this is probably their purpose!"

Hearing this, Qiao Linger immediately felt an unprecedented sense of disgust. She knew that there was a female viscount in England who used to bathe in human blood, but she had always been skeptical about this rumor.But I don't think, in this world, there are actually people who use it like this, and even... drink!

While Qiao Linger's face continued to turn pale, Lingzhi had already started to move to another place, "There should be an organ of the Peach Blossom Formation here, and you should be able to find it if you look for it. Qiao Linger, you come here too... what are you doing?"

Later, when Lingzhi Fang turned to go to another place, the knife in Qiao Linger's hand was already on her neck, and before she could make a move, a hairpin had already pierced her abdomen.

Lingzhi frowned tightly, leaning on the screen and asking in confusion: "Qiao Linger, what are you doing?"

"Ganoderma lucidum, you don't need to pretend anymore, you are not a woman who was arrested and offered as a sacrifice." Qiao Ling'er looked indifferent, and looked at Lingzhi with a completely different expression from before.

Lingzhi frowned, "Qiao Linger, you don't believe me?"

"Tell me, how can I trust you?" Qiao Ling'er sneered.

"What do you mean?" Ganoderma lucidum bit her lower lip tightly, her face paled slightly.

"I mean, as early as in the previous prison, I knew that you are not the girl who offered, but one of the gang of evil spirits who pretend to be gods and ghosts." The strength of Qiao Linger's men increased a little, and there A bloodstain was cut on the white neck. "Or, you are the person behind the scenes who needs to bathe in human blood and drink human blood..."

Ganoderma lucidum subconsciously stepped back a little, the expression on her face did not change because of what Qiao Linger said, only a little more disgusted.

That's right, it was disgust, the mark left on her neck by the knife in Qiao Linger's hand.

During this period, Qiao Linger has been paying attention to her expression, and none of the expressions escaped her eyes.

"How do you know?" Lingzhi's voice suddenly changed. Compared with before, her voice now has a bit more charm.

Qiao Ling'er was only slightly taken aback when she heard this changed voice, and quickly regained her composure and said, "From the time you were able to speak so calmly in that situation, I have already confirmed that you are definitely not the woman who came here. .”

"I remember that I should have told you that I was arrested because I explored here with my father." Lingzhi pulled out the hairpin from her abdomen and started playing with it in her hands.

Seeing Lingzhi's indifferent appearance, Qiao Ling'er became somewhat more vigilant.

"On weekdays, there is no one else here except Tianshi Zhao and a few subordinates, and Tianshi Zhao is just a puppet. Those people in red are usually in this place. How do you know what they are doing?" Qiao Ling'er raised her eyebrows and asked.

"I saw it during the last contribution." Lingzhi continued.

"Then what do you think you've found this waterway?" Qiao Ling'er's eyes showed endless coldness, "You said you don't know where the lake bottom channel leads to, but you are giving Lan and me When the wind leads the way, head in one direction, and there is a peach blossom forest in front of you, so you have entered the trap you set, right?"

"Continue." There was a hint of interest on Lingzhi's face.

"Darkness is the best time to act. It's just that you said you can't see action at night. It's not because you can't see the peach blossoms, but because you're afraid that the peach blossom trees will move in the dark, and you can't alert the guards, trapping Lanfeng inside." Qiao Linger stated lightly.

"Then you suspect that I am the person behind this scene?" Lingzhi smiled even more.

Qiao Linger shook her head, "Your familiarity with this place makes me sure that you are definitely related to this place, but these are not enough to make me doubt your true identity."

"Oh?"

"Ordinary people will definitely not be as indifferent as you when they see this kind of blood pool. The reason why there are no guards here is actually because no one can accept it. And when you talk about drinking blood, what emerges from your eyes It's not panic, but the smell of blood, you like blood. Besides...you hate my knife because you are afraid of leaving marks on your neck, don't you?" Qiao Linger paid more attention to the expression of a person, because you I can't see his heart, but I can judge by his expression.
