Cui Yu is not in the capital now, but Jin Bai used to be.
Jin Baixi made it clear to her that he had Cui Yu's explanation before she left. No matter what help she needed from him, he could do his best to help her.
But help also takes time. If she wants to use Jin Baixi's power to explain the source of the information, she can't lie. Even if she wants to lie, Quexian Tower is close at hand, so she can't lie. And the same It takes time, and this method is tantamount to useless work.
Stop.
Far water cannot save nearby fire, and it is useless for her to worry in the capital. Fortunately, she asked the water snake to attach itself to the sachet and follow Li Shou. As long as the water snake is there, Li Shou should be fine.
Meng Shisan returned to the bedroom, sat down on the south couch in the inner room, opened the window lattice, and the night breeze outside the window sill blew slightly on her face.
For some reason, she was not sleepy at all.
There was also Fang Jiang’s panic at that moment, and she didn’t understand what was going on.
Li Shou is her backer in the mortal world, so she has always had a good attitude in front of him. She is worried about him, which can also be understood as her backer cannot fall. But just now, she had to admit, This worry has quietly changed.
She looked at Basho in the corner outside the courtyard and thought carefully about when this change began.
She thought of the day when Qiao Sang drowned.
At the bottom of the lake under the stone bridge of Bixu Manor, Li Shou entered the water without hesitation, took her into his arms under the water, held him in his arms and swam upward desperately. She could see that he was obviously full of questions. , but when he saw her, he only saw happiness and ecstasy that she was still alive.
At that moment, without asking anything, he chose to believe her unconditionally and put her life before anything else. From then on, when she looked at him again, she was no longer just in love with him. For a backer that would allow her to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
She slowly pressed her heart.
She couldn't describe the feeling at this moment.
It seems that she managed to survive by struggling in the soil. It also seems that she first gained spiritual intelligence, successfully transformed into human form, and spoke human words. It also seems that she survived a thousand years of lightning tribulation, and was punished by being chopped off by lightning because she was born to bear the thunder. Cut off the body, bury the scarred and bloody self into the soil, and gradually let the missing section of the body grow back.
These are all important moments that she will never forget in her entire life as a demon, which made her grow and transform.
And Li Shou, unknowingly, has become the person she subconsciously reserved and instinctively kept in her heart.
In more than a thousand years, no one, not to mention mortals, even monsters of the same kind, could make her live such an abnormal life.
Meng Shisan bent his knees, hugged his knees with his hands, rested his chin lightly on his knees, and said to himself in confusion: "Is it because I have never truly merged with a mortal body before? Being one, so there has never been this My mood has changed. Although I still don’t know why I was struck by lightning and entered this body as Meng Liangchen, but I have truly become Meng Liangchen and live as Meng Liangchen..."
So her abnormality is due to her demon soul merging with the original owner's body and becoming a new Meng Liangchen?
She tilted her head: "I can only think of this reason at the moment. If not..."
What is the reason?
I really can’t think of it.
Meng Shisan changed to sitting cross-legged, looking in the direction of Jinling, and sighed deeply.
trouble.
Lueyang County, in a private house. Li Shou was sitting at the top of the main room, watching the bearded Zhu Xiye, the magistrate of Lueyang, crossing the threshold and entering the room. He knelt down and gave him a big salute.
"Master Zhu, please take a seat."
"I thank His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Xiye sat down in the seat closest to him, with only half of his butt lightly touching the seat. He sat tremblingly, his eyes focused on the ground in front of him, not daring to move at all.
"I left Beijing this time in secret. I don't want to reveal my identity. Just call me Young Master." Li Shou pressed his left hand on the sachet and gently rubbed the small green spots on it with his fingertips. Snake embroidered noodles.
Hearing the sound, the water snake opened its closed vertical pupils a crack. Seeing that Li Shou, whom Meng Shisan wanted it to protect, was not out, it glanced at Zhu Xiye in the side seat, and then closed it again. Blinded.
When Zhu Xiye heard that Li Shouwei claimed to be an orphan, he complied: "No. After receiving the news, I... came here. Is the young master injured?"
"I'm fine. "Son, the guard beside me was injured, and a sword was stabbed into the chest. Although he is still unconscious, he has passed the most dangerous period." The guard Li Shou was talking about was Yuyingwei Tongchen.
The situation was urgent at that time. Tongguang and Tongchen were protecting him at the same time, and there was Chang Qing in front of him. Unexpectedly, those assassins suddenly focused on Chang Qing. Chang Qing, who was defenseless, was almost killed by the sword. In the critical moment, he took two steps back. , and stretched out his hand to pull Chang Qing, who was always acting as a shield in front of him, back, narrowly avoiding the long sword that pierced Chang Qing's heart.
Unexpectedly, just when he and Chang Qing were lucky to avoid this fatal sword, another long sword stabbed diagonally downward from above, approaching his chest, intending to stab him with one sword. Tongguang Tongchen, who had been paying attention to him, both came over to protect him.
Tong Chen got closer, squeezed in between him and the sword in time, blocked the sword coming towards him with his body, and at the same time raised his sword to kill the assassin. He was also killed by the assassin on the other side. Tongguang pulled away and took several steps sideways.
At this moment, reinforcements arrived.
There were eight assassins, and none of them were as skilled as the Shadow Guards around him. They were better in numbers. After taking turns to attack, it took nearly three quarters of an hour to finally let them fight against Chang Qingqiang in the same light and dust. In the gap that protected him, he found the moment of attack opportunity when he stabbed diagonally from above.
However, he failed.
And another assassin was lost.
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, only three of the eight assassins were left. The reinforcements received his order and originally wanted to capture the person who ordered them alive. Unexpectedly, the three people saw that they could not escape, so they simply did not escape. At the same time, he raised his sword and killed himself.
Instant death.
No more alive.
It is no longer possible to talk about forcing people to find out who was behind the scenes.
Ask Tongguang to send the news to the county government and lure Zhu Xiye to this private house. He had something to ask Zhu Xiye: "Who is the city gate officer?"
Zhu Xiye Still thinking about the escort meeting Li Shou said Could it be the Royal Shadow Guard? Hearing Li Shou's next question, he immediately stopped him: "Master... what do you mean by this?"
"I traveled secretly all the way, dressed up low-key, even Evergreen disguises herself as my maid, sharing the same light Chen is hiding in the dark. If I were not in danger, they would not show up in front of others." Li Shou recounted carefully, his tone was calm, and there was no hint of joy or anger, "From the capital to the outside of Lueyang City, although Occasionally there will be trouble, but it will not lead to life or death. However, as soon as I entered the city gate, there were many checks on my identity. On the night I entered the city gate, I was assassinated, and all eight assassins were dead soldiers."
His eyes suddenly turned cold: "You. What do I mean?”
Zhu Xiye understood and immediately broke into a cold sweat.
