Half of them fell to the ground with densely packed silver needles, making a jingling sound, and the other half were hanging, teetering.
After Shen Lie went over to pull out the weapon, it also fell down and hit the ground with a thud.
Shen Lie looked at Xia Zhaoyi: "Ah Li, I'll go in first."
Seeing him entering the "harem", Xia Zhaoyi immediately rushed over: "Wait for me."
Zhao Xun whispered: "Why do I feel that I am the one who needs to be waited for?"
When Ji Sheng heard this, he felt deeply ashamed. As a close bodyguard around Zhao Yu, he had no role at all at the moment.
Ji Sheng pulled out the long sword and held it in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, let's go in too."
Zhao Xun glanced at him, suddenly smiled heartily, and patted his shoulder: "It's not that we are weak, but that they are very strong, not just a little bit stronger."
"...Hmm." Ji Sheng said.
Shen Lie and Xia Zhaoyi looked at the papers on the floor. The words "Xia Zhaoyi" were everywhere.
After seeing it so much, even Xia Zhaoyi himself almost didn’t recognize the word.
Another gust of wind blew, and Xia Zhaoyi picked up a piece of paper and held it high. Following the direction of the wind blowing, she raised her head and looked towards the source of the breeze, and found that it was a very high gap.
Zhao Xun came in behind her, looked at the papers on the floor, and murmured: "No wonder Zhao Huien is so obsessed with these three words..."
Looking at a stack of drawing paper with bamboo patterns on it, Zhao Qi went over to pick it up.
The drawing paper has the same specifications, two feet and three layers, the color is white and smooth, evenly dense and soft. The paintings are all about the same woman, with less frontal faces and more back and side profiles.
"Ah Li, look quickly!" Zhao Xun said in shock.
Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie passed by, and after just one glance, Xia Zhaoyi's brows furrowed.
"Ah Li, it's you." Shen Lie said in a low voice.
The back of the girl in the painting is thin, slim and graceful, with an extremely slender waist. Occasionally she turns sideways, showing her slightly bulging plump breasts.
Xia Zhaoyi thought about it and said, "I often wore these sets of clothes in Taoxi Village in Bajianghu, Lining last year."
"Anjiang Linning?" Zhao Yu said.
"Um."
"I didn't even know you'd been there."
He had asked a lot about her over the years.
Shen Lie said seriously: "Ah Li, I only found out you lived there after the fact."
Xia Zhaoyi thought for a while and looked at Shen Lie with clear and bright eyes: "Do you still remember one person, the painter Tai Zicang from Congxin Prefecture in Youzhou? He has a pair of wonderful hands and very powerful ideas. He can paint based on what others say. ."
"Yeah." Shen Lie said.
Xia Zhaoyi looked back at the drawing paper: "However, this painting is not like Tai Zicang's style, and the strokes and lines are not as good as his. But Tai Zicang may not be the only one in the world who knows this skill. Maybe he is from the same school."
Zhao Xun said: "These paintings are completely different from the paintings on the top outside, which can be ruled out by Feng Qingang."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at them one by one, her eyebrows getting colder and colder.
Suddenly, Xia Zhaoyi's fingers paused and his eyes froze.
The painting shows a woman being led into the snow. Her clothes are in rags, her hair is messy, and her knees are ulcerated, causing her to walk lamely.
Shen Lie looked at it, his black eyes widened slightly, and after the shock, he became filled with overwhelming anger.
Xia Zhaoyi quickly turned to the next one, and each one made her breathless.
Among them, there are also paintings of her tragic death.
She suddenly lowered her hand, not wanting to look at it anymore, let alone letting others see it.
Zhao Xun was raising his head to look at the air vent above. He turned to look at her, only to find that her pretty face was pale and her bright eyes were startled.
"Ah Li?" Zhao Xi asked with concern.
Another gust of wind blew, and a few pieces of paper that had fallen on the soil bed fluttered gently. The three characters "Xia Zhaoyi" on them suddenly became strange and dazzling.
Someone suddenly hit her shoulder, and Shen Lie looked down at her: "Ah Li."
Xia Zhaoyi came out of her daze, her eyes focused again, Shen Lie took all the paintings away from her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Qing'ang has a sinister temperament, and he likes to kill people. His behavior is evil and sycophantic. Don't do it." Be led away by him."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "Yes."
"But why does he want to deal with you sisters?" Zhao Yu gritted his teeth. "With the names all over the floor and you in the painting, is he having trouble with Duke Dingguo's mansion, or is he having an old grudge with your master?"
"Not my master." Xia Zhaoyi was sure.
"Is that the Dingguo Duke's Mansion?" Zhao Xun was stunned, "Could it be Li Ju?"
Xia Zhaoyi can also be sure that it has nothing to do with Li Qian.
She suddenly felt that her legs were weak and she could not stand.
She had not finished reading those paintings. The last painting she saw was of her body being carried away and stripped naked.
She must have had her clothes stripped off, and only then did she realize she was a girl, and only then did she realize she was Xia Zhaoyi.
She was already dead at that time, and the dead have no dignity, so just take off all your clothes, but, but...
Xia Zhaoyi's heart was like a roiling river, with undercurrents surging out one after another, cold and cruel, rushing to devour her.
However, her face remained calm, and other than her excessively pale complexion, she showed no other abnormality.
"Let's go back." Xia Zhaoyi said with difficulty, trying to keep his voice calm.
"I haven't seen this place yet," Zhao Yu said. "Well, Zhao Hui'en has a treasure map. I didn't find it on him just now. It's not that I'm coveting the things on the treasure map, but I can definitely find out how Zhao Hui'en found this place. reason."
Shen Lie looked at Xia Zhaoyi worriedly: "Ah Li, should I take you away first?"
Xia Zhaoyi cheered up and shook his head: "No, let's go find the treasure map."
Shen Lie raised his hand to untie his long sword, took off his coat and laid it flat on the long bamboo desk, and said seriously: "Now that traces of the Bungarus snake have been found, the soil bed is not safe, so I can only let you sit here first. If so, When you feel sleepy, just fall asleep and I will carry you back."
Xia Zhaoyi looked blankly at the coat on the table, then raised her eyes to look at him.
"Also, this..." Shen Lie took out a few mint-osmanthus candies wrapped in kraft paper.
During the rapid march from Nanxiyi to Hengxiang, Xia Zhaoyi always kept sugar on his person, and there must be two small bags of salt in the small bamboo basket fixed behind his mount.
She said that if someone in the army couldn't hold on, sugar and salt could be the first aid.
Although she herself doesn't like sweets very much, after spending many days together, not only Xia Jiajun but also the entire Yan army knew that she liked mint and osmanthus candies.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled softly and picked one up from his generous palm.
The sweet and refreshing maltose tasted in her mouth, and the mint flavor made her just a little less confused and frightened.
She thanked her sincerely: "Shen Lie, thank you."
Shen Lie smiled slightly and said softly: "You should rest first."
She really couldn't hold it anymore and didn't want to show off any more, so she nodded: "Yeah."
Zhao Xun and Ji Sheng stood aside in silence.
Zhao Xun looked at Ji Sheng and wanted to know why he felt that the two of them were a bit redundant here.
Ji Sheng pursed his lips and whispered: "Your Majesty, I'm going to find the treasure map so that we can leave as soon as possible."
"Well, I'll come too." Zhao Xun said.
After speaking, he looked towards the girl.
Although Xia Zhaoyi didn't want to appear abnormal, her expression was really scary.
