Chapter 137

When Dongfang Ying opened his eyes, it was already late at night, and it was pitch black outside, but he could still vaguely see the surrounding scenery, which seemed to be an abandoned mansion.

How could I be here?He blinked, and slowly began to recall what happened before he passed out.

It seemed that he heard someone outside shouting that there was a fire, and then he was catching the assassin, so he asked Fei Liu to inquire about the situation, and then...the memory after that was gone.

Rubbing the still sore back of her neck, Dongfang Ying slowly got up from the ground.First of all, I checked my physical condition, everything was taken away, even the sharp hairpin on my head was no exception, it was really thorough!
However, who would have the guts to kidnap the queen's noble monarch in the Yonghuang Palace?What's more...is it useful to kidnap him?Obviously, the queen's heart is not with him at all, I'm afraid... If no one informs, that woman will not know that he is missing!
He walked a few steps in the dark, tripped over irregularly placed tables and chairs a few times, and finally saw a glimmer of light coming in through the crack of the door. He was about to speed up his pace, but he tripped over something soft, and his body slumped. The child could not grasp the balance well and fell down heavily.

"Ouch! What is it!" Dongfang Ying groaned, touched his sore forehead, and casually kicked something that tripped him.

This touch... seems to be human?
Dongfang Ying was taken aback, and quickly helped the man lying on the ground up.

The moon finally emerged from the dark clouds, and the bright moonlight shined on the man's face through the window lattice.

Dongfang Ying's hand trembled, and as if seeing a ghost, he threw the man back to the ground.

Baili ice?How could it be Bai Libing?Who has such a great ability... that man, he is a devil!Can demons also be defeated by humans?
However, the current Bai Libing is obviously more haggard than the previous meeting, and even the silver hair that can compete with the bright moon has also lost its luster.His fair cheeks were stained with gray-brown soil because they were stuck to the dirty ground, and the black sacrificial robe was torn in several places, and the almost transparent skin under the clothes could be seen vaguely.

"Bai Libing! Master Guoshi! Hey! Wake up!" Dongfang Ying hesitated for a while, and finally bravely stepped forward to pat Bai Libing's face.No matter what, at least knowing why he is here is also helpful for him to escape.Although it looked like no one was guarding here, he didn't believe that the kidnappers would be so careless. One more person is always a good thing!

However, Bai Libing's face was a little reddened by his force, but she just let out a low moan, showing no intention of waking up.

"What should I do? Are you injured?" Dongfang Ying bit her lip, pulled the two tables together, carefully picked him up, and put him on top.

Walking around the house, it is obvious that the doors and windows are sealed. The pear wood gate and solid blue brick walls are stronger than pig iron. Let alone a weak man with no power to restrain a chicken, even a martial arts master It's not easy to split!I don't know where it is outside, whether there is anyone guarding it, and if I shout...I don't know if it will attract rescuers or enemies. Of course, the biggest possibility is that no one can hear it.

"Hmm..." Bai Libing on the table suddenly moved.

"Hello!" Dongfang Ying was startled, and immediately retreated far away, hiding in the corner of the room, before calling softly, "Master Bai?"

Bai Libing opened his eyes leisurely, turned his head to see Dongfang Ying, first a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by emptiness and loneliness.

Dongfang Ying didn't understand how a person's eyes could express so many feelings so clearly, but if it was the person in front of him, it might not be impossible.

"Well... just lie down, you seem to be injured." Seeing that he seemed to want to get up, Dongfang Ying said hastily, "What place is this? Why are you here? Who brought us here? "

"..." Bai Libing sat up, gave him a cold look, and closed his eyes wearily.

Stared at by that skate-like gaze, Dongfang Ying instinctively felt a chill in her heart, but the next moment, she heard Bai Libing's indifferent voice: "You ask so many questions all at once, how do you ask me to answer them?"

"That..." Dongfang Ying blinked and whispered, "Master, where are we now?"

"If I'm not wrong, this is the cold palace." Bai Libing didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

Lenggong, the dead corner of the palace, I don't know if any woman can think of this place?
"Lenggong!" Dongfang Ying yelled, but he was still in the palace? !But... didn't you hear that the cold palace was on fire?

"It's only a corner of the cold palace that caught fire. After the damage is checked, who will stay here without incident?" Bai Libing said indifferently.

Dongfang Ying was speechless.

Because the current empress has no servants who have been sent to the cold palace, no one lives in the cold palace. In addition, it is said that several nobles committed suicide here in the history of Dayong, so the area around the cold palace is basically the forbidden area of ​​the palace, and there are usually no people. It will be close, it is indeed the imperial palace... the safest place in the capital.Especially when there was a fire in the cold palace just now, and the guards checked it thoroughly, no one would think of checking it again in a short time.

But...he remembered that it seemed that Mei Junhan's Hanxiang Hall was not far from the Lenggong, and wondered if he would notice the abnormality here?

"Master Bai, who hurt you?" Dongfang Ying said after a long silence.If that person can even catch Bai Libing, then... can that woman rescue them?
Bai Libing just looked at him, didn't say anything, then slowly walked down, leaning on the wall, to the door.

"I can't get out." Dongfang Ying sighed, but looked at him hopefully.

Bai Libing is too mysterious and omnipotent in West Qin, maybe...he is a peerless master, knocking that gate flying with one palm?

Ignoring his gaze, Bai Libing sat down by the door, lost in thought.

Who is going to deal with him?And for what?
Everything on his body was taken away, but unfortunately... he is covered in poison, so he doesn't have to rely on the ready-made drugs.Since the enemy trapped them here, it was not to starve them to death.And when the dark man appears... he will make them often end up angering the demons!

Dongfang Ying gritted her teeth, stood up and continued tapping on the wall.No matter how you say it, you can't wait for others to save you, you have to try your best.

The moonlight outside the window gradually slanted west in a silent atmosphere.

"Haven't found it yet?" Su Hailing suppressed his anger.

"Your Majesty, not yet." Ouyang Xun shook his head, and a burst of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.It's really a wave of unrest and another wave. It seems that after this incident is understood, it will be the turn of the chief executive to bear the wrath of Her Majesty the Queen.

"Then what are you doing here? Why don't you look for it!" Su Hailing slapped the desk heavily.

"Yes!" Ouyang Xun quickly backed out.

"Hailing, don't worry." Mu Qingchen pressed her shoulder with one hand, and his soft voice gently soothed the uneasiness in her heart.

Su Hailing sighed and patted his forehead.

Damn Bai Libing, isn't he very powerful?How could he be captured so easily!
And look at the teary little attendant below... Damn it, it's nothing more than Bai Libing, why do you want to take Dongfang Ying away?Did he have a personal enmity with the West Qin people, or did he intentionally provoke a war between the two countries in order to profit from it?

Situ Ye was lying on the desk, his eyes blinking, but he was silent.

"Jun Han, what happened to the envoy from the Western Qin Dynasty?" Su Hailing thought for a while, then turned his head and asked.

"Nothing happened." Mei Junhan replied quietly, flipping through the information that had just been sent in from outside the palace.

"Fei Liu." Su Hailing called out, rubbing his painful temples.

"Ah, Your Majesty." Fei Liu twisted her clothes and said timidly, "Your Highness, is there something wrong with His Royal Highness?"

"Don't worry, I will find him back, you go down first." Su Hailing softened his voice.

"Yes." Fei Liu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something else, but finally swallowed it back, and backed out silently.

Without outsiders, Su Hailing immediately leaned back, resting on Mu Qingchen's thigh, his mind was spinning rapidly.

The smell of conspiracy is too strong, but... who is behind it?Could it be her good "Sister Huang"?

"I said, it wouldn't be a good show directed and performed by the national teacher, right?" Situ Ye suddenly straightened up and interjected.

"Impossible." It was Mu Qingchen who answered, "Bai Libing doesn't know martial arts, it is impossible to kill dozens of guards in Zichen Palace by himself, and then disappear without a trace - you have also checked those guards, Not a trace of poisoning."

Situ Ye shrugged and continued to lie down.

"I think that Xu Chunshui's reaction seems too calm." Mei Junhan put down the letter paper in his hand and raised his head.

"You said it was the internal struggle of Xiqin?" Su Hailing raised his eyebrows.

"It's possible, isn't it?" Mei Junhan asked back.

Su Hailing stroked his chin and began to think.

Bai Libing wanted to swear allegiance to her—so Empress Xiqin wanted to get rid of him?But what about Dongfangying?That empress wouldn't take the life of her own flesh and blood as a joke!
"Your Majesty." With a call that broke the silence, Haoyue strode in.

"How is it?" Su Hailing asked casually, without any intention of getting up.

"I have inspected the entire palace, and I can be sure that it is impossible for assassins to take Bai Guoshi and Dongfang Noble Monarch out of the palace." Haoyue said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Su Hailing's heart tightened, and he held Mu Qingchen's hand unconsciously.

"Except for those assassins who killed themselves on the spot and committed suicide by taking poison, although a few of them escaped outside the palace, they definitely did not have people behind their backs. In broad daylight, with two captives, they could still be unnoticed." It is impossible to escape from the imperial palace." Haoyue said.

Su Hailing sat up and turned to look out the window.

The bright moon is gradually fading, and the sky is almost bright.

People, are you still in the palace?Then why did the guards almost dig the palace three feet and fail to find it?Where is the dead end?Or, if it was him, where would he hide him in such a situation?
Haoyue was about to speak, but Mu Qingchen shook her head.

In the palace, there is a place that will not be searched, and no one will approach it...Su Hailing quickly flashed the topographic map of the palace in his mind, looking for suspicious places, and then eliminated them one by one.

Is it?
"What's the matter?" Seeing her jumping off the couch suddenly, Mu Qingchen smiled lightly, "What did you think of?"

"I was just thinking, what would I do if I were an assassin." Su Hailing laughed.

Mei Junhan picked up the sword without saying a word.

"Jun Han, you don't want to go." Su Hailing's smile immediately turned into a wry smile.

"You think I'm burdensome?" Mei Junhan stared at her and said.

"How could it be!" Su Hailing yelled, then shook his head helplessly.

"I'll just stay." Mu Qingchen smiled lightly.

Mei Junhan looked at him, then at Su Hailing, let out a cold snort, and slapped the sword heavily on the table.

"Oh!" Situ Ye immediately covered his ears, and jumped up with a bitter expression on his face, but he dared not speak out.

He is also born in Jianghu and is also a top expert, so why is Mei Junhan so much more terrifying than Mu Qingcai?Is this the difference between "decent" and "evil"?

The fox slandered secretly while looking at Su Hailing.

"Let's go." Su Hailing grabbed the fox's ears directly, carried him outside, and Haoyue hurriedly followed.

"Oh, it hurts!" Situ Ye hurriedly rescued his poor ear from the woman's clutches, and rubbed it curiously, "Where are we going? Do you know where they are?"

"Guard the Bixiao Palace well, if there is a slight difference, your heads won't have to grow on your neck!" Su Hailing looked around at the guards outside the palace, and said coldly.

"Yes!" Everyone was stunned, knowing that the queen really wanted to kill this time.

"Hailing!" Situ Ye pouted and tugged at her sleeve.

"Lenggong." Su Hailing gave the answer very simply.

"But after the cold palace caught fire, the guards have searched there." Haoyue was puzzled.

"Because of looking through it all, it became a blind spot instead." Su Hailing sneered, "The most dangerous place is always the safest."

"How long has it been?" Bai Libing asked with her eyes closed.

"Uh...ah!" At first he thought he was asleep, but when he heard his voice suddenly, Dongfang Ying was startled, then looked at the sky, and said hesitantly, "It seems to be dawn soon."

"Really." Bai Libing slowly opened her purple pupils.

Dongfang Ying continued to shrink back into the corner, cursing the assassin for the thousandth time, arresting as long as he arrests, but why lock him up with this demon, it's so scary...

Bai Libing ignored his small movements and secretly counted the time in his heart.

All night, if the woman didn't come here again, he would have to consider whether to cancel the proposal.

Working with a moron...no point.
