female catcher

Full moon, Forbidden City.

Clothed in black, condensed smoke sneaked in the silent night, evading the patrols of the imperial guards, and went to the Prison Supervisor. The forbidden area of ​​the deep palace was unfamiliar to ordinary people. She carefully hid her figure, and saw two eunuchs from the Prison Supervisor carrying a tray. A palace came out.

"It's already late, why isn't your father-in-law sleeping?"

"What do you know? I heard that the Lijian Yamen has recently arrested a lot of people. Since Eunuch Liu's death, Eunuch Liu's temper has become much more irritable. Those are the punching bags."

"I heard that Eunuch Liu was killed by his adopted sons, Han Ye and Xue Ding. Han Ye has already had his tongue cut out, and his hands and feet have been picked. This Xue Ding?"

"Shhh—you don't want to be curious about these things. Let's just do our job as servants. Don't touch the yamen. It's scary. Let's go."

The two young eunuchs walked away while talking, and the eyes of the condensed smoke in the dark, which were exposed outside the black scarf, turned and sneaked into the supervisor of ceremonies.After arresting a young eunuch and asking where the detainees were in the yamen, he knocked the young eunuch unconscious and went to the cell of the Prison Supervisor.

The Prison of Li is deep in the inner palace, the outside is heavily guarded, but the inside of the yamen is very quiet, Ning Yan sneaked all the way without being noticed, found the cell of the prison of the Prison of Li, saw the guarding eunuch, she picked up a few flowers in the flower pot Shi Zi'er threw it at the guard eunuch, the guard let out a muffled grunt, and fell limp to the ground.

Ningyan came out from the darkness, stepped over the guard, and entered the cell door. The firelight on both walls could not completely illuminate the darkness of the cell. Subtle groans came intermittently from the depths of the cell, accompanied by the dark wind like the low voice of a ghost. weep.In the cell of the Supervisor of Rites, there are many innocent souls, and some are filled with endless blood and tears.

Ning Yan walked all the way to the depths, and all she saw were prisoners who had been tortured to the point of being inhuman. There were eunuchs, court ladies, and some unidentified people. The word, the shape of the character is distorted like a life-threatening demon.

Even though she was so cold and smoky, she was still terrified. She was careful not to wake up the prisoners who were dying, and almost reached the bottom of the cell, separated by an iron door.The cell is still a duplex structure, with an outer cell and an inner cell. Ning Yan saw the key hanging on the wall. She took it off and opened the iron door. The inside of the inner cell was even more horrible. A disgusting smell mixed with blood could be seen through the face towel. Choked into the nose.

The light in the inner cell was even darker, Ningyan's heart was pounding, she moved her steps carefully, the movement of stepping on dry grass could make her body tense, but the hatred for Xue Ding finally overwhelmed the fear, She walked into the deeper darkness, and the cells on both sides raised a few eyes faintly, and the groans of the prisoners made her more nervous.

Inexplicably, she couldn't help but approached a prison, and when she saw clearly the person who was struggling towards her like a puddle of mud, she trembled all over.

Han Ye, Han Ye, who used to flaunt his power and often went to Fengyue Tower for entertainment, has been tortured to the point where he is worse than a dog.

Ning Yan settled down, she suddenly hesitated, should she venture into such a ghostly place?

In this gap, several prisoners in the prison suddenly raised the haystack, kicked open the cell door, and surrounded the smoke.

Counted!

This was the idea that Ning Yan immediately came to mind, and then she followed her instincts, and rushed forward in the same way as her palms gathered energy. At dawn, a team of royal guards had already surrounded the surroundings, and a thin old eunuch in the crowd was holding a whisk and looking at her with a sneer.

"There are really people who are not afraid of death and dare to come to the Supervisor of Rituals to play wild." Wang Jin's squeaky voice was piercing, and he immediately shouted: "Take it down for me!"

Ning Yan sharpened her eyes, and saw the guards swarming up.Ning Yan broke through with all her strength, and all the people touched by her heart-breaking palm fell to the ground with bleeding from their orifices. I saw a group of seven-foot-tall men in the Si Li Prison being killed by a slender woman and flew into the air.

A steel knife swung towards Ningyan's slender waist in the chaos, and was grabbed by Ningyan's fierce claws. With a light flip of her wrist, the steel knife was broken. Ningyan grabbed the broken blade and threw it into the flutter The chest of one person came, followed by a claw grabbing the chest of another person, twisting through the thick armor, screwing into the flesh and blood of that person with bare hands, gouging out a bloody hole.The man vomited blood, stared at his eyes and died, Ning Yan didn't take back his palm, and flung his corpse, which knocked away a group of guards and flew towards Wang Jin.

The old eunuch stared with small eyes, raised his hand to grab the flying corpse, and said word by word with a sideways glance: "Destroying Heart Palm!"

As soon as he let go of the body and threw the corpse away, a burst of evil spirits approached her eyes. Ningyan's claws were aimed straight at Wang Jin's eyes. She also knew that under heavy siege, the king was the only way to break out of the encirclement, but she didn't know that the palm of her hand was about to touch When she saw Wang Jin, she was blocked by a whisk, and when she met Wang Jin's small but delicate eyes, she felt a chill in her heart.

Wang Jin sneered and twisted the whisk in his hand, and Ningyan flipped along with the whisk in the air. As soon as he landed, a gust of wind blew towards his face, and the whisk in Wang Jin's hand came towards him like a spirit snake.Ning Yan held out her palms, and the soft ponytail spread out and wrapped around her wrist, and she couldn't shake it off with her internal strength.Wang Jin pulled her up and flew up, and was about to fly towards Wang Jin. Ning Yan volleyed her feet around the horse's tail, relieved the force of the whisk with one leg, kicked her with the other long leg, and kicked Wang Jin just in time. In the palm of his hand, Wang Jin's body took two steps back and stood firm. Ning Yan knew immediately that she was no match for this yin and yang old eunuch.

"Hmph." Wang Jin grabbed the soles of Ning Yan's feet and lifted her up to the top, still able to laugh.

Ningyan Yinfeng poked down, trying to hit Baihui on top of Wang Jin's head, but Wang Jin loosened her hand and flicked her feet, making Ningyan groan, her legs and feet were numb and she couldn't move freely. She was also thrown out by the whisk in Wang Jin's hand.She slashed her sharp claws in the air, wiped the necks of three people with her fingers, and killed three more people from the guards who rushed around. She also temporarily landed safely, but her left leg went limp, and she half-kneeled.

Wang Jin rolled up a flower in his hand and held it in front of him again. His face did not change. Looking at the woman in black, he sneered and said, "Get a living."

"Go!" Someone in the guard shouted.

Sweat was already seeping under the black scarf, her eyes turned cold, she was ready to fight to the death, it would be best if she could break through, if she couldn't, she would end herself, if she fell into the hands of the eunuch, it would be absolutely impossible of!

But there was a bang!

A thunderbolt was falling between Ningyan and Si Li's guards, and the smoke filled the air. A nimble figure jumped into the mist and pulled up Ningyan, who was inconvenient.

The person who came was also in night clothes and black scarf, when she looked at those eyes, Ning Yan recognized the person, just about to open her mouth, but her cheek hurt, and a slap from the person landed on her face, hitting the person who came after her Taking advantage of the situation, he broke the necks of several guards in the mist, pulled up the smoke and flew up to the eaves.

But he didn't want Wang Jin to fly up in the mist, wrapped the whisk in his hand around the ankle of the man in black, and then slapped out his palm through the air, releasing his innate strength, hitting the man in black's face.Ning Yan wanted to block with her body in a hurry, but was pushed off the eaves by the man in black and fell outside the fence. Then the man in black slapped Wang Jin's innate strength.But after hearing a bang, rubble flew from the eaves, splashing up and hitting the guards below, and even flying a few.

Wang Jin's face changed slightly, and the whisk that was originally wrapped around the ankle of the man in black was also shattered.

And the man in black let out a muffled snort from under his mask, turned down the dilapidated eaves without stopping, stepped on the roof of the Forbidden City with his hands in his hands, and flew past. .

Wang Jin threw the broken whisk in his hand, and flew down the eaves, and landed among the guards. With a livid face, he yelled coldly: "Chasing!"

The guards came out in full force, and followed the two men in black as they left.

After everyone had left, Wang Jin raised his palm and looked at it. His slightly trembling palm was black and blue. Wang Jin's Xiantian Gangjin practiced was a child's skill, and even the top masters in the world were not afraid, but this damn black-clothed It's really amazing that people have hidden poison in the palm of their hands a long time ago, and they can retreat by taking his innate strength head-on.

Wang Jin silently read a name in her heart: Mei Ji!

The men in black flew all the way out of the Forbidden City with the condensed smoke, and they were so busy fleeing that they didn't realize the pair of eyes that had been hidden outside the city gate for a long time.

Nangong Biluo came out from the shadows, looked back at the Forbidden City first, then jumped up and flew after the man in black in front, followed by the guards of Si Li.

The moonlight is bright and clear, and several figures can be seen leaping and bounding in the capital late at night.

The man in black fell into the alley with Ningyan, who had injured his legs and feet. In the maze-like dark alley, she chose a relatively safe place to take a breath.As soon as she landed on the ground, she pushed Ningyan away, allowing her to stagger. She herself leaned against the wall of the alley, her hands pressed her abdomen, her chest heaved violently and she was short of breath, and her exposed forehead was covered with fine sweat.

"Sister!" Ning Yan endured her numb legs and threw herself in front of the man in black, supporting her.

The man in black glanced at her coldly, but did not push her away. Sure enough, a windy voice came from behind the black scarf: "Satisfied?"

Ningyan's eyes flickered, and she was filled with guilt, but she was unwilling to answer Feng Piaoxu's question, and she didn't regret dying to avenge her blood.

Feng Piaoxu calmed down her breathing, hating iron but not steel, said: "If you die, you will die worth a little. You are good at everything, but when it comes to the Qin family, you can't avoid being reckless. Have you forgotten Qingyan?"

Ning Yan trembled all over, the cruelty to Qingyan at the beginning is now like a slap on her own face, Ning Yan bowed her head and knelt down, "I failed your expectations, damn it!"

Feng Piaoxu's pupils shrank, and he didn't care to hold down his abdomen and grab it. He grabbed Ningyan's hand and slapped his Tianling Gai's hand, pulled her arm around, lifted Ningyan and turned over, and strangled her with her arm. Hold her neck, imprison her in front of him, in a hostage state.

"I gave your life, it's not so easy to die!" Feng Piaoxu whispered in Ningyan's ear, "If you don't want to let me down, just grow up!"

Ningyan's eyes flickered, she remembered the hands that held her back then, it was the younger Feng Piaoxu, but she had already put on a blood coat, and held the weak her in the firelight. From then on, she had a goal, Grow into the shadow of Feng Piaoxu, but——

"Yan Ran, you are not my shadow." Feng Piaoxu seemed to know what Ning Yan was thinking, she looked up at the moon, her voice was very soft, "Never."

Ningyan's heart seemed to be strangled by something, and she couldn't breathe. She opened her mouth to say something, but Feng Piaoxu suddenly covered her mouth with the scarf to keep her from speaking.

Feng Piaoxu looked at the entrance of the alley warily. She seemed to have seen a figure fall into the alley just now. She waited silently for a while, then her thoughts changed, and she shouted sharply, "Who's there!"

Nangong Biluo in the dark was startled, she just landed, how could she be discovered?

The female catcher thought for a while, and stopped hiding. She appeared and said with a smile, "Senior's vigilance is really admirable."

Feng Piaoxu and Ning Yan saw Nangong Biluo's smiling face clearly through the moonlight, and they both shrank into the dark.Ningyan was still a little flustered, but Feng Piaoxu's eyes turned hard, and he tore off Ningyan's face scarf, and then grabbed her with his backhand, as if he wanted to strangle her to death.

Not to mention Ningyan's face full of astonishment, even Nangong Biluo shouted anxiously when she saw this: "Senior!"

The female arrester didn't have time to carefully judge the current situation, and immediately rushed towards the two similar men in black.Feng Piaoxu met Ningyan's eyes, and at this moment he pushed Ningyan in his hand towards Nangong Biluo, but the person flew up and stood on the wall. Nangong Biluo caught Ningyan and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Miss Qin?"

Ningyan leaned against Nangong Biluo's arms, the initial shock had receded, she seized the opportunity to grab Nangong Biluo's clothes, and pretended to faint in her arms. Without stopping, no matter how Nangong Biluo and Ningyan flew away, they even kicked off a tile when they stepped over an eaves, which attracted the attention of the supervisor of ceremonies.

Naturally, Nangong Biluo also heard the footsteps of the search. She looked at Ningyan in her arms, and ignored the departing Meiji. She supported Ningyan and submerged into the darkness. up.

When they reached a safe place, they came to a gazebo.

Nangong Biluo sat down and helped Ningyan to pour a stream of internal force into Ningyan. When Ningyan woke up, she asked, "Miss Qin, what's going on?"

Ning Yan looked at Nangong Biluo with a cold face, gritting her teeth, the blood vessels in her legs and feet that were sealed by Wang Jin's innate strength were already in unbearable pain.

Nangong Biluo noticed the abnormality, and seeing Ningyan pressing her legs, she squatted down and half knelt in front of Ningyan, reached out and dragged Ningyan's slender legs, put them on her knees, and pinched them hard.

Ning Yan was startled and said urgently: "What are you doing!"

Nangong Biluo raised her hand to block Ningyan's pushing hand, and tapped the meridians on Ningyan's leg a few times. Ningyan gasped in pain, and then saw Nangong Biluo take off her shoes and socks, A surge of internal energy poured in, dredging the blood vessels in her legs.

Even though she knew that the female arrester was helping her, Ning Yan still felt a burst of embarrassment. She stared at the female arrester's eyelashes, which had grown slender due to her bowing her head, to calm down her embarrassment.

After Nangong Biluo concentrated on helping Ningyan break up the innate energy on her legs, she took a long breath, put her shoes and socks on Ningyan, then gently put her legs down, and then stood up and asked, "Miss Qin, Should you tell me what happened? Wang Jin's innate energy, and Meiji."

Ningyan avoided Nangong Biluo's sight, was silent for a moment, and then said coldly: "I sneaked into the Rites Supervisor to kill Xue Ding tonight, but I was ambushed and dragged down Mei Ji who also sneaked in, so she will kill Xue Ding." I."

Nangong Biluo couldn't help being surprised, guessing that Feng Piaoxu didn't tell anyone about Xue Ding in her hands, but she didn't want to almost hurt Ningyan, she asked: "Does Boss Feng know that you sneaked into the Priest of Rituals tonight?"

Ning Yan shook her head, and then said: "But Mei Ji knows, so she can't hide it from my sister."

"You acted without authorization, aren't you afraid of dragging down Boss Feng?" Nangong Biluo frowned slightly.

Ning Yan was stabbed at the sore spot, and stared fiercely at Nangong Biluo, "I will accept the punishment myself, there is no need for you to talk too much."

This is not a matter of impunity.

Nangong Biluo originally wanted to say this, but seeing Ningyan's stubborn face, especially those eyes that were very similar to Feng Piaoxu, she couldn't help but sigh softly, and then squatted down with her back to Ningyan.

"Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, I'll take you back first."

Ning Yan looked at the back of the female catcher who was squatting in front of her, bit her lip lightly and did not move.

Nangong Biluo looked back at her, frowned, but said patiently and softly: "If you are found out, the secret of Fengyuelou may not be hidden. I won't ask any more questions, but I have to go back and talk to Boss Feng. .Come up, you can't go now."

After hearing this, Ning Yan had no choice but to gently lean on the female catcher's back. When Nangong Biluo stood up vigorously, she instinctively put her hands around Nangong Biluo's neck, and then quickly relaxed and supported Nangong Biluo's shoulder.

Nangong Biluo didn't care about that just now, she picked up Ningyan firmly on her back, and headed towards Fengyue Tower. At first, she flew for a while, but she guessed that the sky was about to dawn, and she was afraid of being discovered, so she chose Small alley to go.

Ningyan also gradually relaxed her tense body, and said as thinly as a mosquito: "Thank you."

Nangong Biluo twitched the corner of her mouth, she really didn't dare to accept this thank you.She walked carefully in the dark alley, and asked softly in a too quiet environment: "Miss Qin, do you have to kill Xue Ding yourself?"

Ning Yan only replied with eight words: "The hatred of destroying the family will not be shared."

Nangong Biluo could feel Ningyan's disordered breathing and the hands on her shoulders holding her clothes tightly. She was thinking that Feng Piaoxu didn't tell Ningyan Xue Ding's whereabouts, maybe she wanted to get out of the shadows by herself, but hatred could that blinds one's heart.

"But no matter what, you can't put yourself in danger because of revenge. Life is too precious."

The female catcher's voice was very gentle, Ning Yan's eyes flickered, and she said stubbornly: "I don't care."

"But there will always be someone who cares. You are not alone, nor do you live for hatred. You can have different choices in your life, and you can make up your own mind." Nangong Biluo weighed it down, and recited Ningyan, who had slipped a little. so that she will not feel bad.

"Do you like preaching?" The female catcher and Feng Piaoxu said something similar, but the feeling was a little different. Ning Yan had to admit that being carried by Nangong Biluo felt a kind of peace of mind, "I don't like to listen."

Nangong Biluo laughed, "Oh, I'm probably older than you."

Ningyan snorted coldly, and stopped talking, she tried to hug Nangong Biluo's neck and leaned against her, wondering if she could reduce some weight.

Nangong Biluo didn't speak any more, she understood why Feng Piaoxu was always worried about going to Fengyuelou.They were born a few years earlier, and have seen the joys and sorrows in the world earlier. If they can avoid detours, they can't influence other people's lives.

Here Nangong Biluo walked back with Ningyan, while Feng Piaoxu, who had left long ago, took the supervisor of ceremonies around half of the capital, but the old injury had not yet fully recovered, and he had taken Hua Gong to dissolve it. It didn't take long for the medicine to take Wang Jin's palm hard, and the blood was already surging, and the footsteps were weak. If he didn't return to Mingyufang, it would be bad if he fainted on the road.

She dragged her somewhat exhausted body back to Mingyufang, seeing the sky turning white, she couldn't help but climb into a courtyard wall, her feet went limp and she fell to the corner of the wall.

Her eyes were a little blurry, but she could still tell that this was the boundary of Yingchun Courtyard, and then she heard footsteps, and Lu Sanniang, who was wearing heavy makeup, was twisting her neck and walking here.

It's really a narrow road for enemies!

Feng Piaoxu hoped not to be discovered by Lu Sanniang, but Lu Sanniang's eyes were not so sharp. Seeing the bushes in the corner of the courtyard move and walking towards the foot of the courtyard, Feng Piaoxu suddenly became murderous.

After a busy night, Lu Sanniang was also a little confused. She walked to the corner of the courtyard, but she didn't know where the courage came from, but she picked up the bushes, met a pair of indifferent eyes, and suddenly regained consciousness.She opened her mouth to scream, but was pulled into the bushes, pressed against the wall and strangled her neck forcefully.

Feng Piaoxu held down Lu Sanniang, if she was not injured, she would have strangled Lu Sanniang to death, but when her body softened, she threw herself into Lu Sanniang's arms.As soon as Lu Sanniang loosened her neck, she wanted to scream.Feng Piaoxu covered her mouth again, and threatened with the remaining strength: "If you dare to speak out, I will kill you!"

Lu Sanniang shook her head in horror, and then felt that the voice was familiar. She stared at the eyes of the woman in black, and it became more and more familiar. At this moment, a voice came, and when the woman in black in front of her was distracted, Lu Sanniang tore her off. When she saw a face with scars, she said in a low voice, "It really is you!"

Feng Piaoxu was startled, his blood surged up, and he felt dizzy for a while. He thought he would fall to the ground, but it was Lu Sanniang who supported her, half hugging her waist, and let her sit against the corner of the wall, before he could say anything , Lu Sanniang's maid came to the yard, saw Lu Sanniang in the bushes in the corner, and asked suspiciously: "Miss Boss, don't you go back to your room to rest? What's there?"

Lu Sanniang turned around to block her, and said to the servant girl: "Just now I saw a black cat scurrying by, so I just took a look, you go and fetch me a basin of water, I need it when I go back to my room."

"Oh." The servant girl responded and was sent away.

Only then did Lu Sanniang turn to look at Feng Piaoxu, and sneered at her who was cowering in the corner of the wall. Lu Sanniang looked at the scars on her face, temporarily suppressed her doubts, helped her up, and took her to her room.

Put Feng Piaoxu in the room, put down the bed curtain to block her, and the maid just brought the water in.Lu Sanniang asked the maid to put down the water and let her go out. After the maid closed the door and left, she twisted the towel and walked towards Feng Piaoxu on the bed.

"Here, wipe your face." Lu Sanniang handed the towel to Feng Piaoxu.

Feng Piaoxu didn't answer, Shen Mou asked: "Why help me?"

"Hmph, who said I'm helping you? I'm taking advantage of you." Lu Sanniang threw the towel back on the shelf of the basin, sat down on the chair of the dressing table, crossed her legs, and kept looking at Feng Piaoxu.

Feng Piaoxu calmed down, and she secretly recovered her strength, when someone knocked on the door of Yingchun Courtyard.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Lu Sanniang hurriedly put down the bed curtain again, and the servant girl came to report: "Miss Boss, someone wants to search the building!"

Lu Sanniang was startled, but quickly calmed down, "You go down first, I'll come right away."

She glanced at the bed curtain, then went downstairs, and the guards of the chief of ceremonies were standing outside her gate. Lu Sanniang rolled her eyes, raised her handkerchief, and greeted her, "Hey, what's the matter?"

Outside Yingchun courtyard, Nangong Biluo hid in a corner, watching the guards who had entered Mingyufang, and put Ningyan down.

"What should I do?" Ning Yan asked.

Nangong Biluo frowned and remained silent.

In Lu Sanniang's room, Feng Piaoxu didn't dare to act rashly, thinking about countermeasures.
