Avoiding the torches and lanterns, the Cining Palace in the dark was shrouded in an extremely terrifying atmosphere.
It seemed like a cloud of mist was shrouded in thick fog, but it could not be untied.
She only thinks of Luo Jia.
Exhausted from worry.
Lying on the bed, I can't get a slight relaxation.
He was confused and even more panicked. Luo Jia, where is he? Why didn't he appear yet?
Now that such a big thing has happened, if he is safe and sound, how could he keep hiding?
Could something unexpected happened to Luojia?
However, fatigue came over and over again, and after all night, she could barely close her eyes.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard a burst of rapid footsteps.
Someone is reporting: "The Queen Mother... the Queen Mother..."
Listening to the sound, it’s Empress Zhang.
Only she, Hongyun and Hongxia can enter and exit here at will.
Empress Zhang's voice was full of fear. She was a mature and polite person. If something big hadn't happened, she would never have disturbed Fangfei's rest at such a moment.
Fangfei's heart sank and she turned over and sat up.
It’s bright, and the light in the early morning of autumn is not so good and gloomy.
She immediately said, "What happened?"
Empress Zhang's face was covered with tears: "The Queen Mother... Hongxia... Hongxia..."
"What's wrong with Hongxia?"
"Hongxia is dead."
Fangfei felt like she was punched hard, her eyes were covered in blood, and she was unbelievable.
"Empress Zhang, what did you say?"
"Hongxia got up early this morning and went to the garden outside to pick herbs. The kind of mosquito repellent herbs must be picked in the morning. She went there every morning. It has been like this for more than two months. There are many mosquitoes in autumn, so, I I asked her to pick more yesterday...but I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, shortly after Hongxia went, the patrol guards screamed.
When they arrived, Hongxia was already dead.
Fangfei's whole body felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar. It was even more powerful than the force of the bear's paw slapped last night.
She was almost hasty: "Come on, take me to see."
Empress Zhang stumbled, obviously she was old and could not withstand such blows and fright.
Hongxia's body is in the garden.
A girl who was so lively during her lifetime is now lying on a temporary bench covered with a piece of clothing.
Hongyun knelt beside her and cried to death.
Fangfei stopped ten feet away and didn't have the courage to walk over.
But I felt that I had lost my strength and didn't have that courage. I didn't even dare to get close to me.
These people are the closest people around her, guards, palace maids... in fact, it is far more than that. Whether she is favored or declining, these people follow her, almost like her closest people.
But, it was Zhao Li and Hongxia... who was next? Hongyun and Empress Zhang?
Or Honger?
She stood in the cold wind, and her body shivered slightly.
For the first time in my life, I was so scared that I was so cold.
What kind of people should first get rid of the people around them one by one?
Then, only he was left, alone, and he stretched out this sinful black hand and actually took a picture?
She suddenly understood why he didn't kill herself last night.
That is intimidation.
Let the enemy gradually collapse and gradually become crazy in layers of fright.
She was really crazy, almost rushed up and lifted the cover of Hongxia's body... The blood was covered with blood, as if the blood on her body had been sucked dry by something, and there was a look on her face. A huge shock.
Who is able to enter and exit the Cining Palace freely and kill people without knowing it?
The guards all felt that it was not good. They were not only worried about Empress Dowager Feng's rebuke and punishment, but the unreasonable fear - it seemed that they were waiting for others, and they were also fish on the chopping board, which could be chopped and killed at any time.
Yi Xin was still reporting: "Empress Dowager, we will lead people to search, but the enemy is very cunning and has not left any clues... I have checked all the circles, but there are no clues."
Fangfei was even more chilling when she watched them fall down in fear and feel depressed - the enemy is so powerful, it is to destroy everyone's will - gradually, she won without fighting.
Who is the enemy?
The first time she didn't know who was her enemy.
After a long time, she slowly uttered a few words: "Do you have a grand funeral to Zhao Li and Hongxia, and check their relatives, and each will be given a pension of 5,000 silver."
"yes."
Fangfei was weak and sat down when she returned to Cining Palace, but she saw soldiers with live ammunition inside and outside. However, these guards were like puppets, allowing them to come and go freely, and they did not find anything.
She suddenly stood up and immediately arrived at her bedroom - thankfully, Hong'er was still lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
The child is still young, and even if the sky is turning around outside, it cannot stop him from getting tired. He will not be able to sleep until dawn, so of course he can't stand it. He breathes sweetly. It seems that he will not wake up until noon.
She checked around and the doors and windows were intact and closed, very firm.
However, I was still worried and personally selected eight guards, guarding the door, and outside were all the guards of Cining Palace.
All this was arranged, and she didn't tell anyone, and walked out quietly.
However, Master Zhang discovered it and immediately chased after it, begging: "Empress Dowager, it's too dangerous now. Where are you going?"
I haven't been asleep all night, worried and worried, Fangfei's face is dark and has no energy at all.
However, she still forced herself to cheer up. She knew in her heart that since that person threatened her, she would not kill herself first for a moment.
At this time, he had done some earth-shaking things and must show off first.
I want to go out and see how he will show off.
She didn't say much to Zhang Zi, but only told her to be optimistic about the little emperor, so she went out alone.
Zhang Zi was frightened for no reason. Did Empress Dowager Feng be frightened? He knew there was a tiger in the mountain and was going to the tiger mountain. What if he encountered danger? Moreover, she was alone.
Fangfei went to where she and Luo Jia often dated privately.
I still have a fantasy in my heart. As long as I see Luo Jia, everything will naturally have a turning point.
Her steps were calm, just as if there had never been any blood. Every tree and grass in Beiwudang was still so gorgeous and cute.
When she went up the mountain and passed the cliff, she didn't notice that the brown rocks, one of which was moving, was following her tightly.
She walked slowly.
Although my mind was constantly moving, I still kept my steps very relaxed.
With a whoosh, she slowly turned around and it was a hare.
It's autumn, the grass is very deep, and the gray hare lurks in it, and is discovered like a scramble, and the gray ears keep inciting it.
Even the people in the dark were surprised that this woman was so bold. She dared to come out at this time, and she was so confident and alone.
He was so nervous - this was a good opportunity.
Yes, this is a great opportunity.
Killing her is easy.
He pressed a needle-shaped barrel in his hand, and there was poisonous smoke inside. As long as he shot it out, even if he was as powerful as Luo Jia, he would immediately tie his hands.
He held the bamboo tube, and his palms were sweating in waves. I don’t know if it was worry or fear—the next moment, she would fall down, even once and for all.
Fangfei was unaware of it, and it was impossible for her to notice the terrible face and eyes that turned red from excitement.
She continued to move forward and soon arrived at the cabin, where everything had been destroyed. Everything about herself and Luo Jia had suffered an unprecedented blow.
Instead of stopping in the cabin, she went forward and turned a corner to the golden apple forest.
The golden apples in autumn are already red. There are guards occasionally, but I don’t know why Queen Mother Feng is so leisurely and has the heart to appreciate the golden apples.
Looking around, the golden apples, the vast sky, the mountains of Beiwudang are undulating, and they are continuous into a blue white cloud, which is very spectacular.
In a few days, the person in charge of Beiwudang will pick all the apples, store them, take them out for transactions, and transport them back to the palace, and you can still eat them in the spring of the year.
Fangfei stretched out her hand, slowly picked an apple, placed it at her nose, and smelled it.
It seems that she is really just here to appreciate the apple.
I have picked two apples all the time, and every time I pick them, it will make a squeaking sound.
Then, she threw the apple out.
However, there was no sound.
My heart has been sinking.
Like the bottomless abyss - Luo Jia is gone.
At this time, Fang was convinced that Luo Jia was missing.
After such a terrible thing happened, he also disappeared.
It seemed as if deep in my heart, a pillar collapsed, completely unbearable - Luo Jia also disappeared. His mind was also buzzing and messy. At this time, he was panicked.
She suddenly turned around. There was no one, but she felt a vague voice, as if someone was sneering in the dark, proud and full of sarcastic gazes.
She suddenly ran a few steps and rushed out of the apple forest. The surroundings were still quiet and could not be seen by anyone.
She was so panicked that she was indescribable - it was not because of her own situation, but because of Luo Jia. If Luo Jia had encountered an unexpected situation, how could she be the enemy's opponent? Who was it? What kind of place was it hiding?
She turned around and speeded up, not going back, but moving forward.
Until her back completely disappeared, the person in the darkness showed half of his face. Of course, he understood what she was here to find reinforcements. Unfortunately, Luo Jia couldn't protect herself, and could she still hug her?
It’s ridiculous that Empress Dowager Feng is smart and confused for a lifetime.
Fangfei walked in a hurry and headed towards the Taoist temple.
Things have happened frequently these days, and the Taoist temple is also in a panic.
Before Fangfei could enter, she saw a Taoist priest hurriedly coming out. It seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as he saw her, he immediately said, "Empress Dowager, please come in."
Fangfei asked: "Where is the psychic Taoist priest?"
"The master is about to leave the empress dowager, and ask Xiaodao to wait for the empress dowager."
Fangfei went in and served the alpine ginseng tea from Beiwudang. Fangfei for some reason once again remembered the allusion of Qianyehong and alpine ginseng tea. That time, Emperor Hongwen used these two medicines to pretend to die and deceive Yihun.
Kill Yihun. At that time, Emperor Hongwen's death was definitely true, and no matter how skilled the doctor was, he would not be able to detect his fake death.
That is called "turtle breath". It is said that a wise person can maintain this state for three days.
Luo Jia could not reach this level of skill when he was treated in the past, so he was quickly taken away by the Taoist priest without leaving any flaws.
She didn't know why she suddenly had such a terrible thought, and her whole body was shaking slightly.
However, Emperor Hongwen is different. Everything is verified by himself.
He definitely didn't use Qianyehong and Gaoshan Ginseng Tea. Besides, Emperor Hongwen did not have such a motive. Before he went to the war, he was already terminally ill.
Why bother such a big deal?
The alpine ginseng tea was still steaming, greasy and a little sweet. She picked it up, took a sip, and put it down.
Next to it is a table, table, chair, and a cushion for meditation, which is a big gossip.
Fangfei's eyes fell on a sign barrel on the table, and inside were all signs.
She was idle and just sucked one.
At first glance, there were only a few words on it.
Why do you have to pursue someone?
Even though the news is really unknown
Just afraid that others will be ghosts
Humble and honest
...
She was stunned, what does this mean?
It's a sign.
At this time, the sound of the footsteps of the camel came, which was the psychic Taoist priest.
He is over 100 years old. In recent years, he has been in seclusion for almost 2-6 months almost every year. He will go into seclusion. It seems to be a kind of fasting in Taoism, which emphasizes health preservation.
Every time he came out of seclusion, his face became even more rosy.
This time, the retreat was very long, almost half a year. So, it looks like a special face with crane hair and a young face.
If it weren't for other things to bother him, his childhood face would have been maintained.
The two met and did not greet each other. Fangfei went straight to the topic: "Master, he is gone..."
The Taoist priest certainly knows who "he" is.
Luo Jia is gone.
Even the Taoist priest was shocked, and his gray eyebrows were almost pried up.
Of course he knew what a big deal.
Originally, at his age and experience, he could be said to be still unmoved even if he collapsed in front of him. However, now he felt a chill rising from head to toe.
Even his face with a long hair and a young face suddenly became dark, obviously very surprised. He really got old all of a sudden.
"How come the Lord will not see you?"
Fangfei told him roughly what happened these days.
He listened very carefully, especially when Fangfei talked about her experience last night and the feeling of escaping from death, he stopped and asked a few questions.
He stood up, his long white beard looked even older. At this moment, his crane hair and baby face disappeared, but he felt aging. "It's too strange that the Lord is missing."
After so many years, who doesn’t regard Luo Jia as a solid barrier?
However, now Pingfan has been removed by others, but he has no mental preparation.
Seeing his appearance, Fangfei immediately realized that Luo Jia was really in danger.
She was still having a little fantasy, thinking that in the Taoist priest, she could find some traces of Luo Jia. However, she did not have any information.
"But, Taoist priest, Luo Jia has never come out. Cining Palace is not peaceful either. First Zhao Li died, and then Hongxia died... Taoist priest, I have a terrible feeling that the enemy wants to kill everyone.
Everyone around me then attacked Honger and me…”
The Taoist priest couldn't think of any words of comfort, and even he felt a chill. Last night, he was still in the secret room and knew everything less than Fangfei.
His face was even more ugly.
"Where is Wei Chen and Zhang Jie?"
"These two people are also missing and can't be found."
No one knew how Luo Jia disappeared.
Even life and death do not understand.
Her voice was panicked: "Master, has he really been harmed?"
"Empress Dowager, don't panic and lose your opinion. The master has always been resourceful and must not be too calm. He cannot be harmed so easily. It is possible that he has discovered some clues and has investigated it.
”
Fangfei knew this was a comforting word, but she could only think about the benefits.
"I heard the roar of dragons and tigers in the secret room last night, but I felt like Beiwudang was shocked. It seemed that a great disaster was coming. However, Beiwudang had been opened for so long, and all the beasts were driven 200 miles away.
The back mountain is here, how could it suddenly appear here?”
"It's not suddenly appearing, but someone brings it."
Fangfei paused, and when she said this, she felt it was ridiculous.
Who can control these monsters with such great ability?
But it gave her the feeling that it was - it was definitely not that the beast suddenly came for no reason, but that it was manipulated by someone.
"Master, I really feel that someone is driving such a group of beasts in the dark."
The Taoist priest held his breath and was also in deep thought. Empress Dowager Feng would never talk nonsense for no reason, so she naturally had her reasons.
"Master, do you think, is there anyone in this world who can control a group of beasts?"
The Taoist priest pondered for a while, as if he was thinking carefully, and answered very carefully: "Empress Dowager, there are many talented people in the world, and I can't say that there is no such possibility at all... Do you still remember the high priest of the temple? In the legend
, High Priests of all generations, under the protection of the great gods, have powerful energy to drive away wild beasts..."
Fangfei suddenly remembered something and her face turned pale.
Big Priest!
The high priest who died in the fire.
Indeed, in the legend of the temple, the high priest had this ability.
However, she immediately shook her head, it was impossible. The high priest was killed. You should know that although it is not easy to pretend to die, it is not impossible. As long as someone cooperates and has the right medicine, it is fine.
But if it is killed, there is no eyebrow in the sword and gun, and the corpse is personally cremated at the burning place.
This is a hope of resurrection.
The high priests are not good, the Adam priests are not good, and the Master Rafah is not good. They all died of fire or swords and guns - in other words, if the body no longer exists, there will be no hope of "resurrection".
Even the third prince is like this.
After he assassinated Luo Jia, he was also hit several times and was dismembered. He was incomplete in all limbs and was terrifyingly dead, and he could never be "resurrected".
Fangfei eliminated the enemies around him one by one.
But, each one, not like it.
There is no chance.
She also stood up, with her hands behind her back, and had never encountered such a difficult thing in her life.
"Master, except for the third elder of the temple, I really can't remember who he is."
The Third Elder of the Temple?
The three centenarians who are invincible in the world are legendary!
The Taoist priest shook his head: "But, I heard news last year that the third elder had two dead, only one Master Chaohui was left, and he also traveled across the ocean, saying that he was going to Penglai County Road to pursue immortality and never die.
”
Nothing.
Who could that be?
Fangfei's mind filtered over and over again.
Except for King Jingzhao and Concubine Lin... However, they all do not have such great ability.
Moreover, Concubine Lin was not in Beiwudang at all.
I wish she was just a woman, but she didn't have such great ability.
"Empress Dowager, in the past few days, Beiwudang will be on strict guard against you. I will also help you."
"Thank you, Master."
Seeing that it was getting late, Fangfei immediately stood up and said, "Master Taoist, I have to look for it."
"Empress Dowager, how do you check?"
"Since the enemy has been there, I will definitely find clues."
I don't believe it, he will hide it for the rest of his life.
"Empress Dowager, you must not be careless. Now, it's up to you. If you make any mistakes, the country of the North will be over..."
Cold sweat fell down Fangfei's forehead.
It seemed as if a vein was gradually becoming clear: get rid of Luo Jia, get rid of Hong'er, and then get rid of yourself... and then, unobstructedly, take down this country.
Who is it?
Who can attack Beiwudang, which is heavily guarded?
