Consort Zhanzhao

Yang He'an just used a clever trick, and with a light flick of his wrist, he pulled his hand out of Zhao Bijia's hand. He looked down at the red fingerprints on his wrist, and even the nail marks that were almost pinched into the flesh. Said: "Princess, don't worry, as long as I can go out, none of them can do anything to me."

After speaking, he turned over and turned his back to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and pressed on his spine for a round, holding up the needle and piercing it in quickly. As the acupuncture points were pierced, Yang and An felt hot air surged up and down their bodies. With a low growl, he turned around, his eyes were full of light.

Zhao Bijia had already tied up the purse hanging around her waist, and handed the things to Yang He'an, but she didn't dare to look him in the eyes, "You know where Shang Fang's sword is, this is the little seal my father gave me when he was leaving. The greeting memorials are all in this batch, as well as my own small seal, you have kept them all."

Holding it in their hands, Yang He'an turned to Zhan Zhao and said, "You have to protect the princess, if she loses a strand of hair, I will kill you!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, and the two walked towards the altar. The altar is the highest place in the house, and it is also the closest to the small hole on the top of the head. This is the best place to go out.

"Be careful on the road... come back early." Zhao Bijia said this in a low voice, and saw Yang and An's footsteps paused for a while, and then continued to move forward.

Hearing that they wanted to go out to rescue soldiers, Baifeng naturally raised her hands in agreement, stepped aside from the area around the altar, and pointed to a small cave with a height of half a person on the mountain wall next to it, saying: "Although this cave is naturally formed , but you need some tools to repair the altar and other things, see if there is anything you can use."

Zhan Zhao thanked him, and jumped onto the altar first when he said it was not necessary, squatted down with his legs slightly, put his hands together and locked them together in front of him, and gave Yang and An a wink.

Yang and An tightened their clothes, bit the thing Zhao Bijia gave him in their mouths, and rehearsed for a while how to loosen the bones when going up, and how to get out, and then nodded to Zhan Zhao.

After receiving his response, Yang and An took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and jumped onto the altar in two steps.He raised his right foot and stepped on Zhan Zhao's hand. Zhan Zhao pushed up hard, Yang and An stepped on it again, and the whole body seemed to fly straight up.

Zhao Bijia was so nervous that he didn't even dare to look at it, but... Hearing the exclamation of the people around him, he might have succeeded!

Zhao Bijia hurriedly looked up, and saw that Yang and An had climbed into the small cave. Although they were far away and couldn't see the details clearly, they could still see his figure distorted a little, as if he was squeezed out of the cave , gradually disappeared.

Zhao Bijia heaved a sigh of relief, and then heard the voices of Shu Qi beside him.

After about three to five breaths, his moderate voice came from above, "I'm going right now, be careful."

The expression on Zhao Bijia's face was half a cry, not a smile, watching Zhan Zhao who jumped down from the altar and walked towards her, unable to say a word.

Baifeng had a look of joy, "Someone has gone out to rescue soldiers, we just need to guard well and we will be able to pass!"

It's just that the elder was still a little worried, so he pulled Baifeng aside and said, "Who are they from? Are they really a branch of the original Baijia? They are the cousin of the saint."

The smile on Baifeng's face did not fade, but there seemed to be a warning in his eyes looking at the elder. After a while, when the villagers' emotions stabilized a bit, they stepped aside to talk to the elder.

"What kind of rescue does he go out to bring, and how many people can come? The things in Baihuang's hands... are not easy to deal with." The elder was worried, "Although he is a rich man from Bianliang, but in this place where the emperor is far away Find some rescuers."

Baifeng recalled it thoughtfully for a moment, squinted his eyes and said: "I heard that after the branch was split out, it changed its surname to Bai, and later entered the palace and became an imperial physician with its good medical skills."

The elder subconsciously glanced at Zhao Bijia and Zhan Zhao, "This man looks so rich, and he has such powerful guards around him... It's really not something that ordinary people can raise."

Baifeng said: "Anyway, we can only wait now." She glanced at Bai Qingluo who was sitting on the rock and could barely open her eyes, she didn't know if she was sleepy or about to pass out, Said: "Anyway, you have to get out as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Zhao Bijia and Zhan Zhao had already arrived at the corner, they said it was a corner, but because one-third of the cave was covered by blood mist, it was just a little far away from the people in the village, I guess they couldn't hear it. .

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and showed it to Zhao Bijia.

Without knowing it, Zhao Bijia went in and looked at the bright red blood on his hand.

"He was injured when he went out." Zhan Zhao's tone was a little heavy.

Zhao Bijia wanted to understand what happened, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, "You—"

"Hush." ​​Zhan Zhao covered her mouth, "Listen to me, Manager Yang will probably be fine."

Zhan Zhao looked at her questioningly, Zhao Bijia calmed down and nodded.

Only then did Zhan Zhao let go, and wiped his fingers on the hidden part of the belt, wiping off all the blood, "This kind of method to improve the skill, if you take good care of it afterwards, most of them can be raised. The so-called can't be broken, maybe it will be a blessing."

Zhan Zhao's words are extremely credible, and Zhao Bijia has heard the words "no break, no stand" for countless times since he was a child, so he nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "When I get back to the palace, I will give everything to you." He's coming!"

Zhan Zhao saw that she was in a better mood again, and she was no longer entangled in Yang and An, so he said again: "You can't let outsiders know about Yang's injury."

Zhao Bijia also had a vague idea in her mind, but she just felt it was inappropriate, and she hadn't figured out what it was wrong for the time being.

"One look at Baihuang in front will tell you that you have been bewitched." Zhan Zhao recalled the last time he met Baihuang, and even he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. How many people come over.

But now is not the time to regret it, Zhan Zhao continued: "I think her senses must be extremely keen."

Zhao Bijia nodded and hummed.

"And you're looking at the blood mist..." Zhan Zhao's tone and face became a little dignified, "I just listened to what they said, this move is probably the ultimate move she has studied for more than ten years."

This Zhao Bijia understood, she gradually followed Zhan Zhao's train of thought, and the inappropriate idea in her heart gradually became clear.

"You mean blood..."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "She must also be extremely sensitive to blood. Director Yang has a wound on his body, I wonder if she will notice it..."

Zhao Bijia became worried again for a moment, Zhan Zhao said again: "Director Yang is fine, he will not be intercepted by those who don't know martial arts anyway, and he knows that he is going to rescue soldiers, so he will definitely not make more troubles of."

Only then was Zhao Bijia heaved a sigh of relief, but being induced by Zhan Zhao twice in a row, she always felt that what he wanted to say was not over yet, so she followed his train of thought and knew that the worry on Zhan Zhao's face was How come.

"You mean us?"

Zhan Zhao nodded solemnly.

"Baihuang wanted to use this blood mist to trap these people, and now it seems that her goal has been achieved." Zhan Zhao swept across the group of villagers with different expressions.

Zhao Bijia's expression became as solemn as Zhan Zhao's in an instant, and she now understood why Zhan Zhao told her these things.

"Baihuang originally wanted to boil the frog in warm water, but once she knew that Yang and An had gone out...the method might become more intense."

Zhan Zhao nodded approvingly, "She has been preparing for this Gu for many years... now it seems that she still has a way to use it. Maybe she still has a way to do it in a while. It's eight hours before Manager Yang comes back. , I will take good care of you."

Zhao Bijia knew that Zhan Zhao could have kept all these things from her, but no matter what the reason was, his intention was not to scare her, but to make her mentally prepare, and if he said it in a while, What happened really happened, so I won't be at a loss.

After thinking about it, Zhao Bijia also whispered to Zhan Zhao: "The people she brought... at most, there are no more than 100 people."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, as if wondering how Zhao Bijia came to this conclusion.

Zhao Bijia thought about it carefully, and said: "You know when I was young, in the few years before my brother was born, and him... basically before he was six or seven years old, I often ran around in the palace wearing men's clothing. I have also been to the Royal Study Room many times, and even read a lot of memorials and so on."

This long series of preparations made Zhan Zhao understand that what she was going to say later might not be something that ordinary people could know.

"...In short, they came from Dali. Three or five people may be nothing. Three or fifty people may have to be reported. If more than a hundred people cross the border, there will definitely be news from the court, but think about it." Zhao Bijia counted the secret letters she sent back along the way, and received news from the palace from time to time.

"If there are so many people here, my father and mother will definitely not rest assured that I will stay here."

The corners of Zhan Zhao's mouth turned up slightly, and he said sincerely, "This news is very useful!"

Zhao Bijia's tense mood also relaxed a little, and she felt a little sleepy after being relieved.

The inside of the cave became more and more quiet. These people, especially the older ones, basically came out of their homes yesterday morning, climbed all the way to the top of the mountain, and tossed and tossed for a long time. Life, these years have been ordinary days, and now I have stayed up almost all night, and everyone is a little bit tired, and they are sleeping together in twos and threes.

Zhao Bijia's spirit is not bad, she wondered where did Yang and An go?He also thought that it might have been less than half an hour since he went out, and now Baihuang's side was still quiet, presumably no one noticed him.

When Zhao Bijia went up the mountain, the most difficult part of the road was almost carried by Zhan Zhao, so although she was a little sleepy, she could still hold on. After thinking about it, she said to Zhan Zhao: "Let's find a place to rest for a while. , I’m afraid you’ll be busy later on.”

Zhan Zhao didn't refuse, and took her to find a slightly drier place with the limited space, and the two sat down side by side, "Take a good rest, and I'll call you if there is any movement."

Zhan Zhao hummed, and the two leaned shoulder to shoulder, Zhao Bijia actually felt a little warmth from the bottom of his heart in the cold cave.

Except for the sound of Zhan Zhao's breathing beside her, Zhao Bijia seemed to be unable to hear anything. After some time, Zhan Zhao's breathing became longer and longer. Zhao Bijia felt as if something was overflowing from her heart. She stared at the milky white Flame kept watching, trying to divert his attention away from him a little.

There were originally two piles of firewood in the cave, but after being sprinkled with a strange powder, the orange-red flames turned milky white, and one was extinguished when the blood mist expanded, and this is the only one left now.

It's just that Zhao Bijia didn't take long to look at it, and the only flame went out, leaving only a little bit of starlight and moonlight shining from the small hole above his head in the cave, but because today is the first day of the new year, the moonlight is also very limited. , There was almost no light in the entire cave.

"Yin time has passed." Baifeng also stared at the fire for a long time, before saying after a while: "It will be dawn in one more hour."

When Baihuang left at night, she said she would take a good rest and come back at dawn, but she didn't know what she would do after dawn.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Bijia suddenly woke up.

There was already light in the cave, and the rising sun had already shone down on the cave above his head. Although there was only a small piece of light in the cave, it made Zhao Bijia feel like he was alive after a catastrophe.

She moved her body, and Zhan Zhao immediately stood up, stared at the sunlight for a moment and said, "It's already Chen Shi, Manager Yang has been gone for three hours."

Zhao Bijia took a breath, "He said he would come back in eight hours. He never lied to me. He will definitely come back."

After saying this, Zhao Bijia was in a much better mood, she wiped her face with a handkerchief dipped in water, and then wiped it off for Zhan Zhao.

The atmosphere was just right, but the sudden sharp laughter broke the tranquility.

"It's dawn, my sister and my little niece, who are far away from home, slept well at night?"

Baihuang provoked again, but the current scene was really not good enough, Baifeng didn't say a word, his face was full of anger.

Zhao Bijia took a look, most of the people stood up and moved around, Bai Qingluo's face looked much better, but there was a bit of sadness in her eyes, Zhao Bijia tried her best to make her smile look like a kind friend, rushed She smiled.

After leaving Yang and An yesterday, she never spoke to Bai Qingluo again. Firstly, she was worried because she was afraid that she might say the wrong thing. Opportunity to speak clearly.

Of course, in this cave, there is blood mist everywhere, and there are powerful enemies outside, if one is not careful, it will turn into blood mist, even my own mother can't recognize it.This is not a good place to confess your feelings, but Zhao Bijia thinks she can still keep a certain distance.

"What?" Baihuang's voice sounded again, "I slept outside with you all night, and you still have a shelter from the wind and rain. I slept in the open air."

Although Baifeng knew that she was irritating him, she couldn't help but say at this time, "Although this place is sheltered from wind and rain, it still lacks some water and food. You send someone to bring them here."

"Haha," Baihuang laughed twice, "I'll bring it here."

Many people in the cave showed happy faces, but Baihuang suddenly said: "Oh no, this blood mist can turn into blood when it sees living things, how should I come in, or sister send someone out to get it?"

"You!" Baifeng's eyes widened, "You can do whatever you want, if you can come in and capture the saint and take the holy Gu, I admire you from the bottom of my heart."

Baihuang smiled and said: "I can't come in now. But sister, why don't you ask me, who did I catch?"

"Ah!" Zhao Bijia exclaimed, subconsciously looked at Zhan Zhao, who shook his head at her, and said in a low voice, "It's been almost three hours, he's almost at the palace now, not Director Yang."

Zhao Bijia nodded, as if echoing Zhan Zhao's words, but also as if comforting herself, "If he can be caught by these people, he is not worthy to be the chief eunuch."

Baifeng hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Zhao Bijia again, and said cautiously, "Who did you arrest?"

Just now he was irritated by others, even though he knew he was in a dangerous situation and couldn't get out, Baifeng's momentum was not so low, Baihuang suddenly became elated and said: "I thought you were all surrounded, I didn't expect And the fish that slipped through the net, tell me... how should I punish you? Or if you send out the Holy Gu, I will be merciful?"

"How to send it out?" Baifeng frowned and negotiated with others, "If the Holy Gu is damaged, you will not be able to survive if you die!" Although she herself noticed the loss of momentum in the first sentence just now, and tried her best to recover later, but After losing for the first time, it will not be so easy to get back in the game later.

"That's a holy Gu, why can't it stop these things?" Baihuang had a hostage in his hand, so he naturally took it easy, teasing Baifeng like a mouse, "If you don't send the things out, I will I just sent someone in, and I don’t know if he can survive in front of you and say his last words after passing through this blood fog.”

Zhao Bijia frowned, and suddenly sensed something was wrong. She pulled Zhan Zhao's sleeve to make him lower his body, and said in a low voice, "The sound is so close, I'm afraid it's not far from the entrance of the cave. If there's a hidden weapon or something It's—" She patted her head, "It doesn't work, it will be turned into black water before it reaches the place."

Zhan Zhao was also thinking about this question. He still had a pebble in his hand that he didn’t know when he picked it up, and he kept weighing it in his hand. It might not be able to bring this blood mist away from our side."

The two were discussing each other, and even Zhan Zhao began to think through the blood mist about where the hole was and what it looked like. The stones in his hands began to gather strength, and he just waited for Baihuang to come out again. He wanted to throw it out for a try, but there was another accident there.

"Why punish us!" A villager yelled, "It's people from outside who escaped and asked for help. It's none of our business! If you want to kill you, you can kill it. If you want Holy Gu, you must not!"

Many people joined in.

Baifeng shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

The occasional laughter that belonged to Baihuang outside suddenly disappeared, but hearing the words of these villagers, Zhao Bijia was suddenly a little scared.

Seeing yesterday that they were able to rush into the blood mist to die without hesitation because of Baifeng's order and for Bai Qingluo, Zhao Bijia still admired them a little, and even felt a little tragic, but she didn't expect that such an attitude would not be the same. Do not face outsiders.

But after a while, Baihuang's voice sounded again, "I didn't expect that my sister really gave me a surprise." After the words fell, Zhao Bijia saw the blood mist change again.

Inside, there were four or five human-shaped dark areas that moved, rushing towards them.

What can rush out from here is definitely not a good thing, Zhao Bijia forgot to breathe with a nervous face, and didn't even notice that Zhan Zhao put his arms around her waist.

Those people finally rushed out. After seeing their faces clearly, Zhan Zhao immediately jumped onto the altar with his arms around Zhao Bijia, and at the same time threw the stones in his hand.

Only a few bang bang bangs were heard, and those people fell to the ground, and turned into blood mist in a moment, floating in the air.

But in such a short moment, the appearance of those people has been clearly seen.

It is impossible for the five people to be Yang and An, but seeing the faces of those five people, Zhao Bijia's originally relaxed heart felt a little uncomfortable.

She recognized these five people, they were the ones who stayed in the cottage yesterday to cook for the three of them.

Zhao Bijia glanced at Baifeng, she remembered that Baifeng said that she would be back in the morning, presumably these people couldn't wait for them to come back, so they went up the mountain.

There was no sound in the cave, and Zhao Bijia didn't see clearly who the person who spoke just now was, but many people didn't dare to look at her, with guilt on their faces, they knew without thinking that there were quite a few people who had the same idea as that person just now .

Baifeng's heavy breathing sound was very obvious in the quiet cave.

Baihuang outside heard the quietness inside, laughed and said: "It must be that this Gu is too powerful, people turn into blood mist before entering, sister, try my trick again."

As her words fell, several small objects flew out of the blood mist, and rushed towards the crowd, and another one came towards Zhao Bijia.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, hugged her by the waist and almost flew up with her, dodging this thing, but the only ones who could dodge it were the two of them.

What was left broke into the crowd, and several people turned into blood mist immediately.

Moreover, these people all melted away in the crowd, and the surrounding people inevitably got involved. For a while, the cave was filled with the sound of wailing, and Zhan Zhao still stood on the altar with Zhao Bijia in his arms. , the stone in his hand hit a few people who were stained with blood mist and fled in all directions.

"Don't move!" Baifeng reacted in time, "Squat on the ground passively, otherwise no one will be able to escape if it gets wet!"

In an instant, there were many fewer people in the cave, replaced by blood mist scattered in all directions, and there were fewer and fewer clean places.

Although the scattered blood mist did not die immediately after being touched, the bloody wounds and painful groans made people feel extremely painful.

Zhan Zhao frowned, seeing many people running towards the altar, he hugged Zhao Bijia and jumped to a place where there were few people.

Xu Qing was still in a coma, lying in a corner and no one cares about him.

Zhao Bijia hugged Zhan Zhao tightly and didn't let go, it was only a stick of incense, and it could be seen that people's hearts were also scattered.

Last night, I believed that Baifeng and the Holy Maiden saved their remaining relatives through their sacrifices, but now...under the premise that no one can escape, Baifeng's driving these people is no longer as neat as last night , there isn't even much room for people to stay in this cave...

Zhao Bijia trembled, subconsciously grasping Zhan Zhao's clothes, could they really last until Yang and An brought people back?

At this moment, someone knelt down in front of Bai Qingluo, "Saint, please save us!"
