The wind in the mountains was cool, and Lou Jinhuan was already poisoned. In just a moment, her face turned as white as snow, without any blood at all.
Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to carefully hold the person in his arms, and glanced down. It was still some distance from the bottom of the cliff, and it was dark at night, so he couldn't see clearly what was going on underneath, nor could he hear any sounds.
He hugged Lou Jinhuan tightly in silence, breathing some vitality into her. Seeing her expression soften slightly, the anger in his heart also dissipated.
Although everything was her plan, at least it allowed him to see the true face of the third prince. If what happened today had not happened, he might still cling to his loyalty and not even know how he died.
Those hidden weapons were all tempered with poison. When they hit him, they didn't hesitate at all and just rushed to kill him. The third prince didn't trust him and was afraid of causing trouble, so he planned to kill and silence him. If Lou Jinhuan hadn't blocked it for him at that time After a while, he was among the corpses on the top of the mountain.
[Congratulations to the host, the favorability of the target is increased by ten, and the current total favorability is forty-one, come on~]
Before, I only focused on looking at Lou Jinhuan's face, but I didn't even take a good look at this face. With nothing to do at this time, Xiao Qi couldn't help but trace the outline of Lou Jinhuan with his eyes.
No wonder this man has always been wearing a mask. If he were to become a national advisor with this face, he would probably only bring disaster to the country and the people.
So beautiful, so beautiful that people forget everything when they see it, and they won't pay special attention to her gender. Only when they have fascinating reverie, they will care whether she is a boy or a girl.
Her eyebrows are as long as ink, her eyelashes are as long as fans, her eyes are slightly raised at the end, her nose is red and her lips are red, every part of her looks like it has been carefully carved.
It's just that the red lips are colorless at this time, and they look a little more sick.
[Congratulations to the host, the favorability of the target is increased by five, and the current total favorability is forty-six, come on~]
Xiao Qi couldn't help but reached out and gently touched Jin Huan's eyelashes downstairs. They were dense and felt very interesting, so he didn't dare to use any more effort.
From now on, I'd better wear a mask. If I go out like this, I don't know how many people's hearts I will steal.
After sitting on the big rock for about a quarter of an hour, faint voices could be heard from below.
Because it was empty and quiet down there, their voices became particularly obvious. Xiao Qi immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully with all his vigilance.
…
Under the cliff is a deserted land, overgrown with weeds, and no one can kneel once you enter.
The man in black was cutting the grass with the sword in his hand as he walked, "Damn it, what the hell is this place?"
The ghost-faced man's scimitar scraped through the grass, making a rustling sound.
"Have you found anyone?"
"You go to the east!"
"You go over there-"
"Fuck, why is there a lake here?"
"Plop——"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone fell in. Everyone pulled the person out in a hurry. The ghost-faced man frowned, "It seems they didn't fall here. Keep searching!"
The man in black trudged forward in the grass. After a while, someone shouted: "Commander, there is a cave over here!"
The face of the ghost-faced man suddenly changed, "Go in and take a look!"
The people on the side murmured: "If you fall from such a height, you will be smashed to pieces. You won't be able to enter a cave, right?"
The ghost-faced man glanced at him coldly, "You can't even get into the state master's body, how do you know they won't survive? Search quickly, don't talk nonsense!"
"yes."
A group of people entered the cave and searched it, but found that there was nothing inside. Someone was even bitten by a snake. After killing the snake, the person also died.
The ghost-faced man said that it was bad luck and quickly left here with his people.
…
Xiao Qi listened clearly to what was going on below, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the others were gone.
"Has the killer left?" Lou Jinhuan's voice suddenly sounded. Xiao Qi was startled, and then asked: "How are you? Can you still hold on?"
Lou Jinhuan nodded, "Yes."
She slowly stood up from Xiao Qi's arms, put her hands on Xiao Qi's legs, and looked at him with a smile in this position.
Xiao Qi turned red with laughter and looked away uncomfortably, "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, I just think you're cute when you're shy."
"Have fun on the floor!"
Xiao Qi became angry and yelled.
Lou Jinhuan immediately stood up and let go of him, "Stop talking, don't be angry, let's go down. There is a cave underneath where we can take shelter from the wind."
She even knew there was a cave below. Xiao Qi secretly marveled at how well-prepared she was and how every step was planned by her. This man was indeed terrifying. He had been a national teacher for so many years and had won the trust of His Majesty. Sure enough, it was not impossible. Makes sense.
"Okay, hold my waist tight."
Xiao Qi stood up and pulled out the sword, put it back into the scabbard on his back, grabbed the vine on one side, and pulled hard twice. He felt it was not reliable, so he simply wrapped it around his wrist twice and lowered his eyes. I had a great time looking at the building and said, "Let's go."
Lou Jinhuan immediately hugged his waist tightly and pressed her whole body into his arms, "Xiao Qi, did you secretly send me Qi just now?"
Xiao Qi said nothing, but held Lou Jinhuan tightly with one arm.
Jumping up, the wind roared in my ears, and my whole figure seemed to fall from the clouds. When I was descending at a very fast speed, I felt an indescribable excitement. People at this time are always more honest than usual.
Lou Jinhuan looked at Xiao Qi's profile and asked softly: "Xiao Qi, you actually like me a little bit, right?"
The words were blown away by the noisy wind as soon as they came out, but Xiao Qi heard them.
The moment they landed on the ground, Xiao Qi suddenly said: "Yes."
"Huh?" Lou Jinhuan glanced at him, but Xiao Qi refused to look at her. It seemed that he regretted what he said, and asked with his red ears raised: "Where is the cave?"
Lou Jinhuan saw through it without saying anything, with a smile on his face, "Over there——"
She pointed in a direction, and Xiao Qi immediately walked there.
The two walked in silence toward the cave one after another. Xiao Qi was walking in front and clearing the way. Halfway there, he overlapped with the trajectory of the man in black before. He followed their footprints and saw the dead snake at the entrance of the cave.
Lou Jinhuan raised his eyebrows, took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and sprinkled it in a circle along the edge of the cave.
"What is this?" Xiao Qi asked curiously.
"Pharmaceutical powder to drive away snakes and insects. We have to stay in the cave for a while. It would be bad if we don't have the powder."
"I see."
Xiao Qi entered the cave and took out the firewood from his arms. A faint light illuminated his face. Lou Jinhuan took a look and said, "There is no firewood here. Fortunately, it's not too cold. The two of us squeezed in." The crowding will pass."
There are overgrown weeds here, but there are not many trees. It takes a long time to find dead branches, and the killer has not completely left, so now is obviously not a good time to go out.
Xiao Qi took a look around the cave and found that it was quite clean. Someone must have cleaned it up in advance.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized a problem.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Lou Jinhuan, who was standing at the entrance of the cave like a night white sandalwood tree, "Where are your snow-clad guards? Why are none of them here?"
