Xiao Chuhong took Su Zhen directly out of Kyoto City. The moment they left the city, several fast horses and identical carriages headed in various directions to confuse the eyes of the pursuers and the Qin Wang Party.
They went around in circles for an unknown number of times. Finally, after confirming that there were no pursuers, they came to the edge of a cliff of a certain mountain.
Xiao Chuhong hugged her and jumped down without thinking. He estimated the height, drew his sword with one hand and stabbed it into the cliff. The speed of his fall slowed down, and deep scratches were made on the wall. Sparks from friction flew everywhere and shattered.
Stones kept falling from above their heads.
Su Zhen was tightly held in Xiao Chuhong's arms, her cheek pressed against Xiao Chuhong's chest. At this moment, she felt a sense of peace that she had never felt before.
When they landed firmly on the platform extending from the edge of the cliff, many birds were startled.
As soon as Xiao Chuhong unlocked Su Zhen's acupuncture points, she immediately pushed him away and took two steps back. The stones at her feet rolled down the cliff. She glanced down at the place, which was covered with mist. Even she often flew in the air, which made her a little dizzy.
"Xiao Chuhong! What on earth do you and Mr. Dongli want to do?!"
"You don't need to ask any more questions. In short, we won't let anything happen to you, but you can't enter the palace to see the emperor now."
"Why? Please speak clearly! I didn't kill anyone, why should I escape?"
"The deaths of Xiyan, Li Jieyu and Yanu are not as simple as you think. If Miss Yue is the mastermind behind this, she must be brewing a big conspiracy."
"Of course I know this! Hey, wait, Miss Yue? No, weren't you stupid at that time? Okay, you are playing tricks on me again?!"
Seeing that she was getting angry from embarrassment and wanted to beat him to vent her anger, Xiao Chuhong's expression became more serious, "The woman in red you saw last night was Li Jieyu, but the woman I saw before I fell into coma was a woman in green."
"You mean Xiyan?"
"I have never seen her portrait, but Shi Huandi will not lie."
"What? Are you talking about the Huanhuan Dial, which is known as the devil's poison? It turns out that Li Jieyu's blue water jade bracelet is actually a divine weapon! It's so good at disguise!"
Su Zhen looked at the wooden-colored string coiled around her wrist. Yin Shen was still awake. He was actually injured by the Shi Huan Dial.
"You really know a lot."
"I've only heard of it. The Dial of Time is an ancient artifact that can reverse time. But it's also known as the devil's poison. It sucks blood and can take advantage of people's desires to help them achieve their wishes."
"Then do you know why Yue Xian'er can be resurrected again and again?"
Su Zhen shook her head, "Her blood contains the spiritual power of the tiller fruit. Could it be that her body has changed, like... a nine-life cat demon?"
"You are overthinking. After she ate the corpses of her relatives, she became crazy and even burned down her home. It was at that time that Li Yu separated from Yue Xian'er's body."
Su Zhen was shocked when she heard this. Could it be that her memory was temporarily sealed due to Li Yu's departure, so she didn't see the bloody scene when she used empathy on Yue Xian'er?
"General Xiao, are you saying that the reason why Li Yu exists is because she endured extremely twisted pain for Yue Xian'er?"
"Um."
"Then Xiyan who went to Jiangnan carried her hope and desire for freedom?"
"Um."
The expressions of the two of them gradually became serious. Su Zhen rubbed her eyebrows and said, "It's useless to rescue me. Instead, your years of forbearance will be exposed to others. Why bother?"
"Compared to you, those twists and turns are nothing."
"..." Su Zhen avoided Xiao Chuhong's affectionate eyes and touched her nose awkwardly, "Is everything you said before true?"
"You think I'm telling lies?"
"But in your eyes, I am a man!"
"I don't mind."
He doesn't mind! But she does!
Su Zhen was at a loss for words. What was the difference between her and playing the piano to a cow? In her two lifetimes combined, she was old enough to be Xiao Chuhong's ancestor. She was not just an old cow eating young grass?!
She coughed twice and changed the subject, "Originally, I didn't want to investigate this case anymore, but on the way to the palace, I kept thinking about Master Yu's words. I felt that I was so selfish. One after another died miserably, but I did it for
You deceive yourself and others by not giving justice to the dead."
Regarding Su Zhen's deliberate evasion, Xiao Chuhong did not intend to back down after feeling lonely. He smiled bitterly and raised his hand to fall on her head, rubbing it gently to show comfort.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Su Zhen pushed his hand away and said, "Actually, I thought a lot in the prison last night, but I still feel that the mute slave is not dead. Comparing what happened after the death of Li Jieyu and Xiyan, her body did not suffer
The flames burned it, but turned directly into a skeleton. I had three thoughts."
He said calmly, "Well, let's talk about it."
"First, Xiyan and the others just wanted to use the corpse as a cover to fake death and escape.
As for the second one... assuming that the bodies of the three of them will quickly wither into bones after death. In order to prevent this secret from being discovered, someone burned their bodies. At present, I can only suspect that the changes in the bodies were caused by Yue Xian
The influence of the potency of tiller fruit in the blood of children.
Third, my friend was seriously injured by the owner of the Shi Huan Dial and has not woken up yet. I think he must have discovered their secret, so he wanted to silence him."
She once asked Mo Sheng to find Mi Yao to solve her doubts, but she disappeared again, as if she was deliberately avoiding her.
What is the connection between the sundial, the porcelain doll, and the tiller fruit...?
Alas! If I had known she would stop thinking wildly at that time, maybe she could find some clues from the fragments given by Shi Huandi.
etc!
"Huh? General Xiao, if you had been pretending to be stupid at that time, you should have seen those fragments. Then do you know why Yue Xian'er followed Jingyao into the palace?"
"I don't know, I didn't see it."
He answered so quickly, he must be lying!
Su Zhen tilted her head and looked up at him, "Did you really see something?"
Xiao Chuhong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then called, "Zhen Zhen."
"Um?"
"If you insist on uncovering the truth, it will cause you ten thousand times more pain and regret than restarting Yue Xian'er's nightmare. Do you still want to reveal it?"
"..."
Su Zhen's smile froze and her expression returned to expressionless, "Master Yu is right. It is my duty and obligation as the Shaoqing of the Siwei Mansion to find out the truth and bring justice to the deceased. Moreover, I don't want to lose to someone unknown.
Not white."
Xiao Chuhong nodded, turned around, and suddenly placed his palm on the stone wall. In Su Zhen's surprised eyes, a "rumbling" sound came from the stone wall, a stone door rose upwards, and dust and gravel continued to fall.
Su Zhen covered her mouth and nose, and a dark cave appeared in front of her eyes. The light inside was very dark, and she could not see the end at a glance.
"General Xiao, where is this place?"
"Follow me."
"oh."
Xiao Chuhong held Su Zhen's hand very naturally. Su Zhen's ears were hot and she was about to break away when she heard him say, "There is a mechanism on the ground, follow me closely."
"Oh! Got it."
Hearing Su Zhen's compromise, Xiao Chuhong's lips curled up with his back to her.
Of course, he didn't know that no matter how dark the light was, it would not be affected by Su Zhen, who had clairvoyance. She just wanted to accommodate him on a whim.
After they stepped into the stone door, Xiao Chuhong took a step forward. He heard a click under his feet, and the stone door behind him closed. He snapped his fingers at the same time, and clusters of white flames flew out from the stone wall, covering a small area.
It lights their way forward. This chapter has been completed!
