Qu Le leaned on him, hugged his waist, and said sadly: "These things have nothing to do with you in the first place. I am the one who got you involved. I'm sorry."
Xiao Feng held the back of her neck and rubbed it gently: "As long as it is related to you, I am happy to be implicated."
Qule closed her eyes and said softly: "Thank you."
At this moment, the warmth from his body blew away her fatigue, and she gained the strength to continue moving forward.
She was sincerely grateful to him and became even more deeply attached to him.
She whispered: "When we have settled everything, we will go back to Wushuang City together. Then you will have to arrange a grand wedding for me. As promised in advance, I am completely broke now. Apart from me, what else can I do?"
I don’t even have a dowry, so you are not allowed to dislike me.”
Xiao Feng smiled: "I don't lack anything, I just lack you."
Qu Le pursed her lips and snickered. When the love is strong, no matter how tired the sweet words are, they still feel extremely caring.
The so-called love is mostly like this.
In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high. It is the time when people are sleeping soundly and everything is silent.
Xiao Feng opened his eyes and sat up slowly. He looked at Qu Le, who was still sleeping soundly next to him, and helped her lift the quilt. He gently turned over and got out of bed, casually put on a coat, and
He walked to the outer room. Yan Da, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately knelt down on one knee and whispered: "My lord."
Xiao Feng asked him to stand up and asked: "Have you been caught?"
Yan Da looked ashamed, with a hint of fear in his eyes: "We followed the plan last night and it should have been foolproof. Just when we were about to succeed, the mysterious woman suddenly broke a clay pot and released many black poisonous insects.
Anyone bitten by a poisonous insect will immediately have their flesh and blood sucked dry and turn into a skinny skeleton. More than half of our people were sucked dry. The plan failed and we could only escape in a hurry. Our subordinates failed to complete the task.
Please punish me, my lord."
After saying that, he knelt down again.
Xiao Feng frowned: "The responsibility for this matter is not yours, you get up first."
Yan Da stood up obediently: "Thank you, Lord, for not punishing me."
Xiao Feng asked: "How many Gu worms does that mysterious woman have?"
"There are probably more than a hundred in that jar," Yan Da was both frightened and disgusted when he thought of those black, crawling, terrifying insects.
"She owns more than one can?"
Yan Da nodded heavily: "When my subordinates were escaping, they accidentally saw many similar clay pots hidden in her house. There were probably hundreds of them, filling a room full of them."
Refining Gu worms is not an easy task. Every time you successfully refine a Gu worm, a lot of effort and resources must be invested. That mysterious woman hid so many Gu worms, you can imagine how high the cost she paid
.
Efforts must be rewarded.
What does that woman want in return?
Xiao Feng's expression became more solemn: "Don't touch that woman for the time being. First, focus on Prince Yu. Keep an eye on his every move. If there is any abnormal movement, report it to me immediately."
That mysterious woman hid so many poisonous insects that could suck human flesh and blood in Prince Yu's palace. It was impossible for her to hide it from Prince Yu, who was very deep in the palace. In other words, the mysterious woman hiding the poisonous insects was acquiesced or even allowed by Prince Yu.
.
What is King Yu going to do with these Gu insects?
Xiao Feng's intuition told him that what King Yu wanted to do was not a good thing.
Yan Da lowered his head and responded: "I obey my orders."
After Yan Da left, Xiao Feng stood there and thought for a moment, then turned and walked to the inner room.
The bed was empty.
Hmm? Where is Qu Leren?
Xiao Feng strode to the bed, lifted up the quilt and threw it to the ground. The bed was empty, and the sheets were still warm. The person must have left not long ago.
His face suddenly became extremely ugly. Before he left, Qule was sleeping soundly on the bed. Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?
Xiao Feng looked around and found that the window was open. The wind and snow poured in from the window, and thin snowflakes fell on the ground.
He remembered that the window was closed before going to bed. Why was it opened again now?
Could it be that Qule opened it?
Xiao Feng rushed to the window, leaned out and looked outside. Outside was a small yard, and the ground was already covered with thick white snow.
There was a series of footprints left on the snow.
Xiao Feng immediately climbed over the window and jumped into the yard. He shouted: "Yan Jiu!"
A figure descended from the sky and landed silently in front of him.
Yan Jiu knelt down on one knee: "What are your orders, my lord?"
Xiao Feng looked gloomy and asked in a deep voice: "I asked you to keep an eye on Qu Le. Now that she is gone, don't you notice at all?"
Yan Jiu was shocked: "Miss Qu is missing?"
Xiao Feng pointed to the footprints on the ground: "Look what these are!"
Yan Jiu looked at the footprints on the ground, then at the open window next to him, with a puzzled look on his face: "This is impossible, my subordinates have been staring at this room. If someone leaves from here, one of us will definitely notice it."
Arrived."
Xiao Feng asked: "Who is responsible for guarding this window?"
"Yes, it's Yan Twelve."
Xiao Feng said: "Go and get him for me."
Yan Jiu stood up and left, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye. He came back not long after. He lowered his head with a look of shame and said: "Yan Twelve was knocked unconscious by a sneak attack just now. He hasn't woken up yet. Is it right?"
The subordinate's arrangements are inappropriate, and the subordinate is willing to accept punishment."
Xiao Feng's eyes were so cold that they could almost scrape off a layer of flesh and blood from a person's life: "Ignore Yan Twelve for now, you take people to find Qu Le. If there is something wrong with her, you can come and see her!"
Yan Jiu was covered in cold sweat and responded repeatedly: "I will make arrangements right now."
He left quickly, leaving Xiao Feng alone in the dark courtyard.
The wind and snow were whistling by. Xiao Feng was wearing a thin coat. The cold wind poured into his collar and made his skin ache from the cold. However, he seemed to have lost consciousness and walked forward step by step in the direction of the footprints.
Snowflakes fell on my hair, and my black hair turned into white hair in the blink of an eye.
Just like his mood at this time.
I'm at a loss and don't know what to do.
"Dong dong dong."
Elder Lan, who was looking through Gu insect information, suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He put down the book: "Who?"
No one answered.
Who would come looking for him in the middle of the night? Elder Lan was full of doubts and asked a few more times who it was, but the other party didn't answer.
In the silent cold night, the knocking on the door one after another seemed particularly clear and abrupt.
Elder Lan became a little impatient. He stood up and walked to the door. He stretched out his hand to open the door and found that the person standing outside was actually Qu Le. She was wearing a thin white middle coat, with white snow falling on her hair and shoulders.
His little face was as pale as paper due to the cold, and his eyes were dark and hollow.
Elder Lan asked quickly: "You're still up so late? What's the matter with you?"
Qu Le stood motionless, looking at him expressionlessly and saying nothing.
Her expression looked a little strange, but Elder Lan couldn't tell what was strange about her.
After waiting for a while, there was still no response from her. Elder Lan was worried that she was suffering from the cold, so he stretched out his hand to pull her into the house and said, "You come in first to warm yourself up by the fire, and I'll find you a blanket to wrap yourself up in. It's such a bad weather."
It's too cold, the roads are icy, and the night is dark. What if you fall and get hurt? Just send someone to send me a message if you need anything. Don't run around. That guy Li Changfeng doesn't know how to take care of you.
Really not attentive at all!”
Although Qu Le hasn't confessed to him yet, he has already involuntarily held Li Changfeng to the standards of his grandson and son-in-law. If that boy feels wronged by his precious granddaughter, he will immediately take his granddaughter back to southern Xinjiang, hum.
Qu Le was pulled to the side of the brazier, and Elder Lan said to her, "You sit down first, and I will find a blanket for you."
He turned around to look through the wardrobe, completely unaware of the strangeness in Qu Le.
Qu Le stood blankly next to the brazier, neither sitting down nor leaving. When Elder Lan came back with the blanket, she still looked dull.
Elder Lan asked: "Why don't you sit down?"
Qu Le remained motionless and did not answer.
From the time she knocked on the door and came in until now, she hasn't said a word.
Elder Lan finally noticed something was wrong.
He reached out and touched Qule's forehead and asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
At this moment, Qu Le suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it towards Elder Lan!
Elder Lan's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively stepped back, but it was too late. The dagger made a sharp cut on his arm, and a stream of crimson blood gushed out, instantly staining half of his sleeves red.
Qule looked at him expressionlessly and raised the dagger to stab him again.
Elder Lan hurriedly stepped back. He covered his wound and dodged while shouting: "What are you going to do?"
Qu Le held up a dagger and pressed forward step by step, his eyes empty and numb.
Elder Lan's expression was ugly: "Ale, I am your grandfather! Do you know what you are doing?"
When she heard the word grandpa, Qu Le paused slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. She murmured in confusion: "Grandpa..."
Elder Lan immediately said: "Yes! I said your grandpa! Don't you know me?"
Qule looked at him blankly, as if confirming something. Suddenly, her expression changed, her eyes became cold and cruel, and strange gurgling sounds kept coming from her throat. She grinned eerily: "Death
Old man, who told you to meddle in other people's business? Just suffer the consequences!"
After saying that, she raised her dagger and rushed towards Elder Lan!
Elder Lan was forced into a corner and had no way to retreat. He could only watch and stab the dagger at him!
At the critical moment, a big hand stretched out from behind Qu Le and firmly held Qu Le's wrist.
"Little fun," Xiao Feng's voice was unusually low.
Qu Le felt as if she had been punched in the heart suddenly, and her confused brain suddenly became clearer. She froze and did not move. Elder Lan took the opportunity to hide aside, he casually grabbed a handkerchief, tied the wound indiscriminately, and looked embarrassed
Falling down on the chair, he gasped and said: "Ale looks like someone has been poisoned by a worm. She is now under control."
Xiao Feng just chased along the footprints and found that the footprints were in Elder Lan's yard. He became more and more uneasy. As soon as he rushed in, he saw Qu Le preparing to kill with a knife. Fortunately, he arrived in time and was not killed.
To make her make a big mistake, he turned Qu Le's body around domineeringly, and the two looked at each other face to face. He said: "Xiao Lezi, look who I am." (To be continued)
