"Thank you for your kind words." Shangguan mu'er said with a smile.

Two people chatted for a while, Zhong Lijin saw Shangguan mu'er a little tired, then left.

Zhong Lijin left the palace. At night, he and Bai Liyi were just about to go to sleep. There were people from the palace outside.

It's so late. Why are there people in the palace?

Zhong Lijin and Bai Liyi were puzzled, but they still went out to meet them.

"The queen is under attack!"

As soon as he heard the eunuch's words, Zhong Lijin dressed herself and entered the palace with Bai Liyi.

"What happened?" Zhong Lijin asked.

Nangong Liuyun explained: "a man in black just wanted to attack mu'er. If I didn't arrive in time, the consequences would be unimaginable."

After hearing the description of Nangong Liuyun, Zhong Lijin worried about Shangguan mu'er and was afraid that she would be frightened. So she hugged Shangguan mu'er and patted her on the back. She said: "sister mu'er, it's OK. Sister mu'er will help you find out the murderer and catch her. It's the bold guy who dares to endanger my sister's safety." Then he calmed Shangguan mu'er.

Zhong Lijin saw that Shangguan mu'er had been pacified by herself, and soon he said goodbye to Nangong Liuyun. Nangong Liuyun wanted to stay for a while and said, "Jiner girl, why don't you just leave later? Is it a bit hasty to leave now? Just come here and leave. What's the hurry? Just sit down for a while."

As soon as Zhong Lijin saw Nangong Liuyun detaining herself, she thought for a while, but she still felt that she couldn't do it. She wanted to find out who was killing Shangguan mu'er and herself, so she refused to say, "no, I feel that if I don't find this person, I'm afraid that not only mu'er, but we all have to be in danger. I'd better go back and think about what to do."

Nangong Liuyun heard it, and then said, "well, you can walk slowly, girl jin'er."

After a while, Zhong Lijin and Bai Liyi returned home. As soon as Zhong Lijin got home, he sat down on the bed and sorted out his thoughts. Thinking about it, he felt sleepy and wanted to sleep. Zhong Lijin felt that if she didn't find this person earlier, she would be hurt immediately, so she forbeared and didn't lie down.

Seeing that Zhong Lijin was thinking so hard, Bai Liyi, who was sitting beside him, was very upset. He said, "jin'er, you'd better go to bed first. It's so late. It's the same to think about it tomorrow morning. Don't try so hard."

When Zhong Lijin heard Bai Liyi's words, he knew that he was concerned about himself. However, Zhong Lijin could not put down the matter in her heart and was embarrassed to oppose it. However, she still felt that it was important to think about it, so she said, "husband, if you are sleepy, you should go to bed first. My concubine still wants to think about it. I feel that if you don't understand it, I'm afraid the person behind this will harm us sooner or later. No, I still have to think about it for a while. Husband, you can have a rest first. " Think of here, Zhong Lijin more and more adhere to their own ideas, unexpectedly put Bai Liyi in the air there, self-care thinking, brow will stretch and frown, until later brow has not stretched.

Bai Li Yi, who was next to him, was really uncomfortable. He felt sorry for Zhong Li Jin, so he wanted to go out and make some food for Zhong Li Jin. He thought in his heart that he took another look at Zhong Li Jin, who was frowning on one side. So he went out.

After he came out, Bai Liyi couldn't see the road clearly because it was dark, so he went to the side again

He took a candle out of the room and walked along the light of the torch. After thinking about the route for a while, bailiyi finally went to the kitchen and lit the lamp in the kitchen. The slightly lit candle just lit up the small room. Bailiyi saw that there were all kinds of dishes in the kitchen, but the dishes were there. Bailiyi suddenly remembered that he couldn't do anything. At that time, I thought, forget it, I'd better go out and buy some for jin'er. After a while, I made up my mind.

Then he took a horse out of the stable and rode it to a horse's belly. The horse rushed out. Bailiyi was afraid that Zhong Lijin would not be safe at home alone, so the horse rode faster and faster. In a short time, he went to the biggest restaurant in the city, which he and Zhong Lijin often came to. After he went in, he called out: "Xiao Er, prepare some of your signature dishes for me, pack them and take them away."

Because he often went there to eat, the signature dishes there were almost all Zhong Lijin's favorite, so Bai Liyi asked for one. Zhong Lijin, a provincial, didn't know how to eat it. She thought that after a while, her face was soft, until the shop boy came.

Shopkeeper 2: "my guest, your food is ready. A total of five Liang silver."

As soon as Bai Liyi saw that the dish was ready, he gave him ten Liang silver: "don't change it." Then he ran out of the door, got on his horse and began to run, leaving only a shop boy giggling in the shop.

As soon as it was so dark, Baili Yi regretted that he had left Zhong Lijin at home and came out to buy food for her. Then he suddenly nipped his horse's belly, and the horse hissed, and flew out, leaving only a piece of dust. After a while, Baili Yi rushed home and saw that the light in the room was still on. He knew that Zhong Lijin had not gone to sleep, He went to the room in high spirits and called out, "jin'er, don't think about anything. Come out and have a snack before you think about it."

After that, he didn't hear Zhong Lijin answer himself. The jubilant Bai Liyi didn't think much about it, so he went into the door to call Zhong Lijin. Unexpectedly, Zhong Lijin couldn't find anyone in the room. Bai Liyi suddenly turned back and saw the note on the table: "if you want Zhong Lijin's life, go to the temple in the north of the city.".

After reading the information on the note, Bai Liyi burst into a rage, and his face turned black at that time. He was too brave to come to my house to arrest people. It's amazing!

However, although Bai Liyi was furious, he immediately reacted. Zhong Lijin was still in their hands. He hardly hesitated. He didn't even think about whether there was an ambush. Bai Liyi jumped on the horse. He had just bought a snack, but he didn't come back yet. Then there was a clip of horse's belly, and the horse ran out, and a roar resounded through the dark night sky, Within a quarter of an hour, I saw the temple in the north of the city.

Bailiyi saw the figure over there, but he didn't think about it. He was dazzled by Zhong Lijin's safety. He didn't have any scruples about the onlookers, so he rushed over on his horse. Fortunately, when the horse was about to step on a man, bailiyi suddenly woke up, quickly grabbed the horse, got off the horse and walked to a man next to him.

He asked: "brother, I don't know what you are doing. How can you surround so many people here?"

The man who was asked by Bai Liyi replied, "listen, your accent doesn't look like people here. It must be people from other places. This is our annual Huaye Festival. It's a ceremony to pray for good weather in the next year. It's very spectacular. Brother, are you coming to join us?"

As soon as Bai Liyi heard that the man said the origin of the ceremony, he could not help feeling confused. What did that man do to lead me here? Did so many people here still want to kill me? After thinking for a while, I didn't think about it, so I asked the man just now: "brother,

I don't know what ceremony you have in Huaye Festival? Can you tell me in detail? "

As soon as the man saw that Bai Liyi had another question, he answered it for him: "brother, you don't even know the ceremony of Huaye Festival. No wonder you don't even know Huaye Festival. Although it's well known, I'd like to tell you in detail. Huaye Festival is our annual prayer ceremony. I've just told you that, Let me tell you in detail about the steps and ceremonies of the Huaye Festival. First of all, everyone should gather around and pray hand in hand that the weather will be good next year and there will be no serious floods and droughts.

Then there is the most important stage of the whole ceremony. If you see the huge firewood pile in front of you, you need to send some strong young men to climb to the highest place, throw down the torch from above, and light the fire from below. When the fire is not burning, those strong young men need to dance on it to pray for the next year, Then when the fire is not big, they jump down from the huge firewood pile, and the people below are responsible for taking care of the strong young men. "

When Bai Liyi heard what the passer-by said, he was surprised. Aren't these young men afraid that time is too late? Then he asked the passer-by: "are those strong young men not afraid to catch fire before they have time?"

The warm-hearted passer-by, thinking about the unknown hillbilly, explained to Bai Liyi: "naturally, they are not afraid. Those young men are trained professionally. Besides, the dance they want to dance is extremely simple. Naturally, they are not afraid of fire. Besides, their physical fitness is quite good and their reaction is quite quick, Besides, they wear special clothes, unless they are poured strong Baijiu on their clothes, otherwise their clothes are extremely hard to burn. This is also a measure to prevent them from having problems. Besides, you can see that the firewood only has a layer of soft grass on the outside. In fact, the wood in the firewood is not completely dried. This is another major measure to prevent the strong young men from not having enough time. Save their lives

Just as Bai Liyi and his friends were talking, the first stage had already been completed, and the second stage was about to take the torches to the top. Bai Liyi suddenly found that there was a prominent part of the soft grass on the outside that passers-by had just said. It seemed that he was shaking just now. Bai Liyi suddenly remembered his purpose of coming here, In order to find jin'er, he suddenly remembered the words on the note. Combined with the shaking of the firewood just now, Bai Liyi almost rushed up at that time. Just as he rushed over, the firewood just began to burn.

Bailiyi quickly pushed away the guards nearby. Before the group got angry, bailiyi put out the pile of soft grass that had just been burning. He quickly pulled away the soft grass that had just shaken. As soon as he saw that Zhong Lijin was bound, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth.

She was struggling in the soft grass. Bailiyi saw that Zhong Lijin was being stuffed in the grass, and he didn't like it.

Bai Liyi was flustered and worried that if he came a step late, he would lose jin'er. Bai Liyi threw everything out of his mind at this time, leaving Zhong Lijin's safety. He said gently to Zhong Lijin, "go, jin'er, let's go home!"

Bailiyi hugged Zhong Lijin. His eyes were full of sadness. There was blood in his eyes, like an angry leopard, with the words "no strangers".

This kind of day lasted for a long time. During this period, Baili Yi kept watch over Zhong Lijin's bedside, and never left. In the past, his pretty face grew a green stubble, which was very distressing.
