Unlike the swordsman who was brought to Hengxiang Mansion for trial by Yan Jun, the Jin brothers' house was here, so Xia Zhaoyi chose to question him on the spot.
Not only Jin Shiyi and Jin Ba on the ground, but also those few Jin family children who were lucky to be alive, Xia Zhaoyi did not let go.
Intense questioning one by one, coupled with the pool of blood and dead bodies of relatives and friends constantly irritating their eyes and noses, several members of the Jin family were dying, but the young men and women, who were not even eight years old together, refused to let them go. They gasp.
Two hours later, the sky was dark. They had no water and were seriously injured. But even Jin Shiyi, who had easily compromised at the beginning, remained silent now. He was so frightened that he would rather bite the base of his tongue, so much that he bit his tongue. I dare not say anything about blood.
Countless torches came down from the Northeast Mountains, and the word "General" spread throughout the mountains and fields. Because there were many agencies, Shen Lie went out to pick up people. The soldiers walked through the peach forest burning under the moonlight, and a strong fishy smell hit their faces with the cold night wind. Come.
More than twenty corpses were lying on the open ground. Blood was coagulated all over the ground. Dark red blood clots clung to the broken bamboo. The night crows had arrived, circling and screaming in the sky.
Yan Jun was not the only one who came. The person who came from the Xia Jiajun was Gao Zhou, the general of Zuowei Yinglang. When he saw Xia Zhaoyi talking to Jin Shiyi on the bamboo steps, he rushed over immediately: "Second Miss!"
There were 300 Xia Family Army soldiers who came with him, and the bright lights illuminated the Bamboo Garden. Because Shen Lie had warned him when he was outside the peach forest that there were many dangers here, Gao Zhou did not dare to act rashly and listened to the girl's orders.
After Xia Zhaoyi handed Jin Shiyi to his men, he stood in front of the pool of blood and looked up at the entire bamboo house.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, she didn't turn her head. She looked at the Qiuyue three-leaf lantern hanging on the eaves of the bamboo house and said slowly: "This time when I returned to Hengxiang, I almost dismantled it everywhere I went, but here The rivers and mountains are beautiful, the magpies are vying for shelter, and the peach blossoms are beautiful. If we want to raze this bamboo garden, I feel a little reluctant to leave it when I think about the ruins that will be left."
Shen Lie followed her gaze and looked at the bamboo house, and said in a clear voice: "We can build it again when it is flat. This bamboo house does not come naturally."
Jin Twelve and others were carried out of the house by the soldiers.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the corpse with spots on it, paused, and looked at Shen Lie: "Can you lend me your hand?"
"hand?"
Xia Zhaoyi reached out and held his left hand, lifted it up and pressed it gently on his wrist.
Shen Lie's eyebrows were slightly stunned, and the base of his ears quietly turned red.
The two of them had had a lot of physical contact before, but now, the girl's fingers were cold and slender, and when she felt her pulse, she pressed her fingertips lightly, and there seemed to be a tingling sensation coming from her fingers, which was both itchy and soft, as if feathers were lightly brushing against her fingers. At the tip of my heart, this feeling surges with my blood. On this cool night in April, it becomes especially clear.
"I, I'm sick?" Shen Lie said uncomfortably.
Xia Zhaoyi chuckled, his eyes filled with light: "Is General Shen afraid of getting sick?"
"Not afraid..."
"Why aren't you afraid? Getting sick is very scary." After drying your clothes, you can dry your coat."
Chen Lie's ears suddenly turned redder. Could it be that he needed to take off his clothes and dry them off?
Not to mention her presence, even if he was alone in the forest, he would not be naked.
"Then, am I sick now?" Shen Lie asked in a low voice.
"No, but young people, don't do whatever you want just because you're good."
Gao Zhou patted the dust in his hands and came over. He was happy when he heard this: "Second Miss, you are also a young man."
"You came just in time," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I'll give you a job."
As soon as he heard something was going on, Gao Zhou immediately became solemn and raised his hand: "Please give the order, Miss Second!"
"Take good care of Yan Jun, General Shen. He has saved me many times and saved me again today."
After hearing something strange, Gao Zhou said, "Uh, yes, I will obey your orders."
After Xia Zhaoyi finished speaking, he turned around and was about to step up the bamboo steps. His wrist was suddenly held by Shen Lie: "You want to go down the secret passage?"
"Of course I want to go, but I don't want you to come." Xia Zhaoyi looked at him.
"I'll go with you." Shen Lie said, his dark eyes firm and bright.
"No," Xia Zhaoyi's eyes were equally persistent, "You stay."
"Ah Li!" Shen Lie said.
Xia Zhaoyi turned her wrist lightly, because Shen Lie didn't hold her very tightly, and with his clever strength, she easily got away.
"Gao Zhou." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"My subordinate is here!" Gao Zhou responded.
Xia Zhaoyi did not look away and kept looking at Shen Lie: "You take good care of General Shen. If you lose General Shen, I will... punish you."
This can be said to be the first time she has said such serious words to her subordinates in such a long time.
Gao Zhou looked at her, then looked at Shen Lie, and reluctantly accepted the order: "Yes, I obey."
Shen Lieying's straight eyebrows were knitted together, his dark eyes were dark, and he looked at the girl without blinking.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him deeply and turned back to the bamboo house.
Xia Zhaoyi had always been unhappy with the fact that the soldiers and horses of the Duwei Mansion in the south of the city bullied others and dominated the city. However, this time the excavation of Zhang Tengfei's coffin resulted in one death and one injury. This death and one injury were all caused by her.
She has liked to walk alone since she was a child, and does not like to involve others, influence others, or interfere with others. She said to Shen Lie that she was "not thoughtful", and she was not just talking about it. What happened yesterday will always be thought about in the future, and she will not want others to think about it again. Take risks for her.
The blood on the floor in the study room has dried, but when moving the corpses, especially the corpse of Jin Shiwu that was nailed to the bookcase, it was inevitable that a large number of bloody footprints of the Xia family soldiers would be left behind.
Xia Zhaoyi walked quickly and avoided the blood on the ground. He held a long whip in one hand, a small oil lamp hanging under his finger, and a torch in the other hand, and stepped into the secret passage.
The secret passage is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, with a width of more than ten feet. It is a finely trimmed stone staircase going down. The terrace is two feet long, and the terrace is carved with an antique honeysuckle pattern.
The stone wall is smooth and there are no traces. A crane Tianze lamp appears ten steps away. Under the long beak of the crane hangs a four-chain bronze plate, the size of the palm of your hand. There is a small Tianze candlestick on the bronze plate, which is full of lamp oil. .
Xia Zhaoyi lit a lamp with a torch. Twenty steps forward, another identical lamp appeared.
The bronze plate was suspended by four iron chains. It swayed slightly due to the collision of her torch, and the firelight also swayed wildly.
Xia Zhaoyi's eyebrows closed lightly, this was the feeling under Long Yuan.
There are many small traps in Taolin and Zhuyuan, and they are numerous and insidious, and they are all designed to kill people.
The mechanism that harms people should indeed be like this, simple and vicious, as long as it achieves the goal, but Xia Zhaoyi always felt that something was wrong.
At first she couldn't tell what was wrong, but after going down this secret passage, she realized that it was something very subtle.
His Majesty Qianqiu's mechanisms are extremely sophisticated, equally vicious, yet seem to have style. It cannot be overstated to describe them as ancient, gorgeous and majestic. Through those mechanisms, one can even see the temperament of the person who created them. He has extremely high requirements for himself. There is also a persistent pursuit of beauty, and even the small things on the mechanism parts are exquisitely carved. In Taolin and Zhuyuan, the mechanisms are really small-minded.
However, in this secret passage, the feeling of being under the dragon abyss appeared again.
