Southern Qi Fenghua Record

Xia Houshu was afraid of death, but because she chose a path that was doomed to be difficult and full of dangers, she had presupposed that one day she would be in danger and decapitated because of performing a mission.

But she didn't expect this day to come so early.

At this moment, she regretted it immensely.

Of course, what she regretted was not trying so hard to get into the Evergreen Gate, but that she shouldn't be angry with Xia Houyi.

If it wasn't for her insisting on fighting for this breath and clamoring to prove her strength, then tonight would have a different ending.But it seems too late to say these now.

It was also at this moment that she thought of her unlucky elder brother Xia Houxuan whom she hadn't seen much.

When Xia Houxuan and his father set off to Beiyuan Kingdom in high spirits, they must have hoped to defend their family and the country and make contributions.Unexpectedly, in the end, his whereabouts were unknown, with no bones left.

It's just that everyone will remember Xiahouxuan, the outstanding eldest son of Xiahouyuan, the Duke of Yue, a young hero who went out to fight for the country, and fell in one day.

And who will remember her?

At dawn tomorrow morning, everyone in the capital will know that Xia Houyuan, the Duke of Yue, and Zhong Yuqing, the only daughter of Princess Xuanhe, assassinated the prime minister of a country in the middle of the night, refused to be arrested, and was executed on the spot.

Then the news will explode like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and spread like a plague, obliterating the feats and glory that the Xiahou family and Prince Gong's mansion have exchanged blood for generations...

Xia Houyi was right, she still overestimated herself after all.

The sound of weapons intersecting from far to near came to her ears intermittently, and the breath of death surged like a tide, making her dizzy.

There was a burst of clear fragrance in the air, eroding everyone's sense of smell bit by bit.Xia Houshu felt like he was floating in the water, his limbs were no longer under control, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, so he had to slide slowly along the iron cage to the ground.

Is this what it feels like to die?

But why can't I feel pain?Is the pain too intense, so numb?So what's up with the scent?

Does the human sense of smell change before death?

No... it's crispy dew!

Qingsulu is a very strange drug that is said to be in the Jianghu. It is said that it is made from ten kinds of flowers and stones that have a psychedelic effect. rare.The smell of this medicine is clear. When I first smelled it, I thought it was a floral fragrance, but it was too late when I realized it.Moreover, the Qingsu dew has extremely strong medicinal effects and a wide range of deterrence. It is said that one drop of the potion can fascinate nearly ten people within ten meters.Those who take this medicine are weak all over, their muscles and bones are sore and limp, unable to move, and can only be manipulated by others. In severe cases, they will fall into a coma and wake up after two or three hours.

In order to enter the Evergreen Gate, Xia Houshu took the opportunity to live in another courtyard with Xia Houyi to participate in the training camp.That time, she and her fellow trial companions completed a task together, accidentally took the medicine, and fell into a coma in the secret room all night, almost missing the opportunity, so she was deeply impressed by this fragrance.

Although Qingsulu is rare, those who are interested can still find a way to get it.So who is it this time?Who uses crisp dew at this time?What is the purpose?

Could it be the man wearing the silver fox mask again?

Xia Houshu suddenly opened his eyes and confirmed that he was really alive and had not been injured at all, only to realize that everything just now was an illusion.

She quickly held her breath, tried to concentrate, and looked in the direction of the voices.

Between swords and swords, a black figure appeared in her sight.Walking through the crowd like a ghost, in a blink of an eye, more than half of the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion fell down, and even the archers on the opposite roof disappeared as if they had been cursed.

Although Wang Chonghou is the prime minister of a country, with great power and power, one person is under one man and over ten thousand people, but he is a civil servant with little effort, and usually relies on the minions around him to do his best.Seeing the capable people fall down one by one, he also showed a look of fright, and turned around quickly, trying to escape to get rescuers.However, before he had time to call for help, the next moment he was knocked out by the man in black who suddenly rushed behind him, and fell to the ground with a clang like a rotten tree.

Xia Houshu stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of her. It was a coincidence that such a thing happened once, it was a drama twice, and it was a drama three times... It can only be said that she deserved her life!

Maybe she really has to thank her father for giving her the name that saved her from danger, turned danger into good fortune, and brought good luck to death.Now it seems that it has really come true.

Xia Houshu soon realized that this is definitely not a good time to express his emotions.However, she just inadvertently inhaled a small amount of clear dew, and now she just feels weak and unable to move.

Those guards were completely unprepared, they inhaled more dew, coupled with the sudden attack of the men in black, they had no power to resist, and soon died down.

Xia Houshu tried to stay awake, looked up at the heroic man in black not far away, and saw that he was wearing a unique golden phoenix-patterned mask, and there were three pigeon blood rubies at the end of his eye sockets. Exudes a dazzling light.And the black clothes on his body were not in an ordinary style either, the skirt, cuffs and skirt corners were all embroidered with golden auspicious clouds and dark patterns.At first glance, he looks like a person who pays great attention to appearance. If he dresses up like this every day, there is no need to do anything extra.

For a moment, Xia Houshu couldn't tell whether the opponent was an enemy or a friend.

But what is certain is that this person is by no means the same person as the fox masked person I saw last time.

In a trance, Xia Houshu remembered what Wang Chonghou said just now that she broke into the Prime Minister's mansion again and again at night, maybe this is the person who confuses the public.She sneaked into the prime minister's mansion to find out about Yiwu, so what was the reason for the other party?

She couldn't figure it out, so she had to silently pray that even if the other party wasn't a friend, she wasn't an enemy either.

Relying on the power of Qingsulu, the man in black easily cleared the obstacle without bloodshed, then swung his sleeves and walked in swaggeringly.Under the shadowy candlelight, his figure was even more upright and valiant.

He looked around, as if he was looking for something, and then took a few steps towards the big iron cage unhurriedly.The tall and vigorous figure gave people a sense of intimidation, but Xia Houshu felt inexplicably kind.

The man in black stood still in front of the cage, didn't say anything, just folded his arms and condescendingly looked down at the dazed Xia Houshu, looking like he was watching the show, and had no intention of saving her at all.

After this encounter, Xia Houshu was already flustered, but her head was dizzy, her whole body was limp and powerless, she had no ability to resist and protect herself, and there was nothing she could do.

She tried her best to cheer up and looked around the layout of the room, thinking that the iron cage should have been installed temporarily after she made a fuss last time.For such a device, its activation mechanism will not be too far away, maybe it is inside the house.However, it was the first time for her to step into this room. Before she was trapped, she almost searched the entire room and found nothing similar to a mechanism, so where would it be hidden?

Thinking about it made her a little frustrated, even if she knew where the mechanism was, she couldn't open it in her current state.

Unless the device is on this big iron cage, she can still work hard.

Wait, big iron cage?

Xia Houshu looked again at the big iron cage that covered him with no way out. It was hard, with a very smooth pitch-black surface. The front, back, left, and right sides and the top were tightly sealed with two-finger-wide iron pillars, and the gaps were also tight. It is so small that even a three-year-old child cannot get out, but the sharp blade on the outside can penetrate in.There is only a small iron door tied with iron chains and a big lock on one side.

On the premise that the activation mechanism cannot be found, perhaps this is the only way for her to escape.

Xia Houshu looked at the man in black flatteringly, and said cautiously: "This strong man, as the saying goes, save people to the end, send Buddha to the west, can I ask you to open this cage for me?"

Hearing this, the man in black glanced at the chains on the cage, then looked down at her without saying a word.

It was only then that Xia Houshu realized that the other party's weapon was a short knife. The pattern on the scabbard was very delicate, and it was also decorated with several gemstones of different colors.

Such an expensive weapon is very dazzling for decoration, but it is not worth it for chopping iron chains.But no matter how valuable it is, it's just a weapon, and it's nothing compared to human life.

The problem now is that the other party is not related to her, so why should he save her?

Xia Houshu's mood of anticipation just now became heavy again.She couldn't figure out the identity and purpose of the other party, nor could she see his face clearly, and the light in his eyes was also buried in the shadows because of the backlight.She had no choice but to look at his figure and movements in order to figure out his thoughts, maybe she would soon find a breakthrough.

She looked at him quietly, in a daze, his figure gradually overlapped with the figure she was familiar with, and the familiar smiling face with a bit of doting suddenly appeared in her mind, as well as his playful words. He said in a tone of voice, "Or, let's forget it?"

"Strong man, have we met somewhere?" Xia Houshu asked tentatively, with a faint expectation in his heart.

The body of the man in black trembled slightly, and when he turned sideways, the candlelight happened to meet his eyes, showing a trace of vigilance.

Is it really just an illusion?

Xia Houshu was a little discouraged, and hurriedly said with empathy: "Actually, you don't need to waste your dagger, you just need to search Wang Chengxiang's body. If I guessed correctly, the key to this big iron cage should be in the On him...or on the trustworthy ones beside him...yes, the ones next to him with better cloth, they should be his bodyguards. Just search for them!"

Even though Xia Houshu commanded passionately, the man in black still didn't respond. Instead, he looked at her with a particularly weird look, as if saying: Are you teaching me how to do things?

Xia Houshu was feeling overwhelmed again. Asking for help requires a sincere and humble attitude. Now that he is asking for help, wouldn't he have to lower himself into the dust?

She quickly adjusted her mentality, and said: "You may not believe it, but I really have no personal grievances with the prime minister's mansion. I just came in to take a look for someone else. I'm stuck. Since you can easily solve them, it's easy to open the cage for me. God has the virtue of good life, so you can do it!"

As Xia Houshu said that, he made a pitiful, helpless and weak look, and looked at him eagerly.But he, the man in black, turned a blind eye, as if he had never heard of her, completely treating her like air.

Xia Houshu was really discouraged at the moment, and said in mourning, "You won't leave me alone, will you?"
