Chapter 73: Fragrance Disappears and Jade Dies

Water drops fall from high places, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly; a faint fragrance wanders in the wide space. This is a flower house. Although it is winter outside, it is as warm as spring, and all kinds of flowers are vying for beauty here.

, the green vegetation is like a foil

Among the green, there is a rattan bed made of brown branches, on which lies a woman in white, like a sleeping beauty.

However, at this moment, Jian Xiao was experiencing a horror she had never experienced before. Her long black hair was neatly combed behind her head, making her white dress even more flawless. Her limbs were buckled on the vines and tied tightly in circles.

, unable to move her hands and feet, a piece of white embroidered silk was covered on Jian Xiao's face, covering her mouth and nose, leaving only her big eyes.

Above Jian Xiao's eyes, there is a jade-carved hourglass, one end of which is connected to a water wheel for irrigating flowers. The small bucket of the water wheel reaches the highest point, and the water pours down. It is so good that it pours into the hourglass. The water droplets fall from the hourglass one by one.

Drops of water fell on the silk scarf below. The silk scarf absorbed water and attached heavily to Jian Xiao's nostrils and mouth. It was refreshing at first, but later, it turned into a heavy suffocating feeling. Every time Jian Xiao's eyes

The clear and transparent water droplets merged one by one into the most deadly weapon

Jian Xiao knew that this was waterboarding. The most common tactic used by the US military during torture and interrogation of prisoners was to slowly suffocate people until they lost consciousness and died. Jian Xiao never thought that the seemingly amiable Turkic Khan would choose

Let yourself die like this in such a beautiful environment

She still vaguely remembered what Khan said when she was tied to the rattan bed, "Beauty will die for the beautiful. If you do this, you will still be charming after death!"

At the beginning, Jian Xiao could still breathe through her mouth, but gradually there was only water left in her mouth and nasal cavity! She was obviously in the air, but she couldn't breathe at all. She felt that her chest was getting more and more stuffy.

, my mind gradually became blurry.

The memories became colorful. Tuo Jinglie's cold face and passionate body appeared in front of Jian Xiao's eyes. Jian Xiao wanted to hug him, but she couldn't touch him. His voice also sounded, "Jian Xiao, you are mine."

Man, I won't let anyone touch you!" She wanted to ask for help, but he couldn't hear her when she spoke loudly.

Then a strange force sucked Jian Xiao's body, and she felt herself gradually floating up. She looked back and saw that her body was still lying there. It seemed that she was about to leave. A row appeared in front of Jian Xiao's eyes.

The computers are lined up, that is the think tank where I work, and everyone is talking around the time machine.

"I'm back!" Jian Xiao said

She looked back at herself lying on the wicker bed and said, "Tutu, goodbye! I don't know if you will still miss me, but I will never forget you!" Jian Xiao looked at her eyes without any fear or fear.

, just a drop of tears overflowing, flowing to both sides

Tuo Jinglie was riding a horse in the palace courtyard. A group of guards came up to stop him: "No one is allowed to ride a horse in the holy land of the palace!"

Tuo Jinglie lifted up his clothes and wore a golden token on his waist, which was engraved with a horse guard getting out of the way immediately. This was the permission of the Great Khan. Anyone who holds this token can go anywhere in the palace at will.

Riding on horseback

Everything in the palace was as usual. Dahan was reading the memorial in the study. He did not see any bloody feeling and was even quieter than usual. Qibel was still domineering, spitting among a group of colleagues. The moment he saw Tuo Jinglie, his

There was a hint of pride in his eyes, and it was this pride that made Tuo Jinglie certain that Jian Xiao was definitely being tortured.

He walked like crazy through every corner of the palace and every prison cell, but there was no trace of Jian Xiao anywhere. He suddenly had the feeling that Jian Xiao was about to leave him, and that feeling made him heartbroken.

His heart felt like it had been cut out with a knife, and he was in pain

No, I have to calm down. Jian Xiao must still be in the palace. He forced himself to calm down. There are places that he has never been to or found.

Tuo Jinglie drew a map in her mind. Every place she had walked through was painted in bright colors. However, one place was still black. That was a corner of the back garden where the previous Khan kept rare birds.

After the current Khan closed the beautiful stone place, no one went there anymore

Could it be there? Tuo Jinglie tightened his reins, turned around and ran towards the back garden. It was his last hope.

Because no one has been there for a long time, there are no guards there, just a big lock. Tuo Jinglie looked at the lock, and there was no dust on it. Huh, it seems that it has been used recently.

He climbed over the wall, squatted down, and carefully looked at the appearance of the soil in the garden. There were many messy footprints extending into the distance. One pair of footprints was very small. It looked like they belonged to a woman.

Tuo Jinglie followed the footprints and walked all the way. The footprints disappeared in front of a boulder. He walked around the boulder several times to make sure there was no other path.

Tuo Jinglie knocked on the stone and heard an empty sound. It was empty. Tuo Jinglie found a water source nearby. He saw a bucket nearby, scooped up a bucket and poured it on the stone. Soon part of the water flowed away.

Tuo Jinglie pushed with all his strength and the stone door opened.

Walking in, it was very hot inside. Tuo Jinglie wiped the sweat from his head and walked inside.

There were dense woods inside. Walking on the forest path, Tuo Jinglie walked faster and faster, and gradually saw a bright light in front of him. Tuo Jinglie ran towards the middle of the garden, where a woman in white was lying.

"Jian Xiao!" Tuo Jinglie ran over

At this time, Jian Xiao's face was full of water, and her limbs were cold. Tuo Jinglie took the silk away from Jian Xiao's face, and her lips had turned white. "Jian Xiao, Jian Xiao!" He shouted his name loudly, but Jian Xiao was indifferent.

He tested Jian Xiao's breath with his hands. He was no longer breathing. He reached out to feel her pulse, and he could still feel a slight beating.

Tuo Jinglie hurriedly cut off the vines on Jian Xiao's limbs, loosened Jian Xiao's clothes, and squeezed her chest hard, "Jian Xiao, don't worry, I'll save you!"

Once, twice, Jian Xiao's body moved up and down with Tuo Jinglie's squeezing, but there was no sign of waking up. Tuo Jinglie became anxious, frowned, and accelerated the squeezing rhythm, "Jian Xiao, you

Can’t leave! Can’t!”

Tuo Jinglie heard a crisp sound coming from Jian Xiao's chest. Tuo Jinglie's hand trembled. He used too much force and broke Jian Xiao's ribs, but Jian Xiao still seemed to be asleep.

He hugged Jian Xiao tightly, and the cold body froze Tuo Jinglie's heart through his skin. The fists in his hands were clenched, but he did not dare to hug Jian Xiao tightly. He suddenly felt that his face

It was warm, and the moment it fell on the corner of my mouth, I felt a hint of bitterness
