Congratulations on opening the coffin

Chapter 113 Make a Transaction
This... what's going on! ?
Shen Ruo stared at all this, a little unbelievable, could it be that everything she experienced before was just a dream?

Suddenly, her ears were extremely keenly aware of a sound: "Who!?"

She made a decisive decision, flipped her wrist, stabbed with a flying knife, and heard a scream of horror: "It's me! It's me! Qiao Ran! Don't kill me!"

She was startled, subconsciously rushed over, was actually one step faster than the knife, and saved the man. The knife only cut off a strand of black hair, and plunged into the opposite wooden wall with a "swoosh", penetrating three points.

Shen Ruo stared at the knife, amazed by her speed at this moment, is she still human now?

But she quickly regained her composure, and was about to lower her head to inquire about Qiao Ran's situation, when a sharp and piercing scream came to her ears: "Ah—a ghost!"

Now she can even hear the weeds swaying by the roadside, let alone yelling close to her ear, Shen Ruo frowned uncomfortably, immediately let go of her hands, and hid in the corner.

"Shut up!" She covered her ears with both hands, and asked coldly, "How long will you be screaming?"

Tired of shouting, Qiao Ran stopped to catch her breath, and just when she heard her question, she stared at the terrifying face and asked hesitantly, "You... Are you really not a ghost?"

Shen Ruo was so angry that her voice became colder: "If I were a ghost, you would have died just now!"

Qiao Ran thought of the hand that was holding his arm just now, and it seemed that there was indeed heat coming from it. He smiled reassuringly, and then became suspicious again: "But, ma'am... oh no, how did you become like this, Madam Wangfei?" ?”

If it weren't for the clothes and figure, he really wouldn't be able to recognize the person based on that face alone.

When Shen Ruo was asked such a question, he seemed to think of something, his eyes turned cold, showing murderous intent, and he didn't want to say more: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Tell me what's going on here first, where are Xiao Chen and the others? "

But Qiao Ran shivered, as if thinking of something terrible: "At that time, King Jing insisted on looking for you, and even called the Iron Armored Guards to turn Jiufeng Mountain upside down for three days and three nights. , but still no trace of you was found."

"As a result, under the arrogance of the prince, the old disease relapsed, and he became seriously ill. When he woke up, his mind seemed to be..."

Qiao Ran paused, as if looking for words.

Shen Ruo couldn't wait: "Don't be tricky, just say it!"

Now her face is very useful, frowning and glaring can scare the timid to tears, when Qiao Ran saw it, she shook, and quickly replied like beans: "My lord, he seems to have lost his mind. "

"Broken? Stupid?"

"No, no! It's not, but the whole person has changed."

Hearing this, Shen Ruo couldn't help but frown. Could it be that like Lin'er, she gave birth to a second personality?
This schizophrenia is too easy!
Fortunately, Qiao Ran denied her conjecture in the next second: "My lord, he obviously wanted to find you before his death, but after waking up from a serious illness, he led his soldiers back and scolded Mr. Feng for being negligent." Duty, deploying troops at will, as a lieutenant general, he didn't do a good job of admonishing him."

Shen Ruo was silent for a while, then asked again: "What about Lin'er?"

"Little son!? He was naturally unwilling at first, and even made a big fuss, but the prince took the opportunity to knock him out and took him away."

"Afterwards, Miss Zhu wanted to stay and continue looking for you, but she was chased away by the poison king."

Shen Ruo stared at Qiao Ran with sharp eyes: "Then why are you here? And what's going on here?"

Qiao Ran smiled reassuringly: "Your Majesty, don't worry!" He licked his dry lips and continued, "Before Doctor Li left, he asked me to stay and wait for you, saying that if you were still alive, I would definitely I will come back, so I have been waiting at the foot of Jiufeng Mountain."

"I didn't expect half a month to wait. Fortunately, you came back safely."

A happy smile appeared on Qiao Ran's face, but when his eyes touched that face, the smile disappeared again. Although the princess returned safely, this face did not look like something to be happy about.

Shen Ruo noticed the look in his eyes and knew what he was thinking without guessing, but Shen Ruo didn't take it seriously and looked at him coldly: "You said so much, but you still didn't say what happened here?"

"What about the Poison King? It's impossible for him to watch others take away his things, right?"

"Also," Shen Ruo looked at him with suspicion and guard in his eyes, "Who are you?"

Qiao Ran had an innocent face: "Ma'am, what are you talking about?"

Shen Ruo took out a scalpel backhand, the blade was thin and sharp, and could be broken by blowing. She casually played with it and chuckled: "Tell me this time, if I don't save you, can you survive this knife?" Survive?"

"Mother, empress, please stop joking with the villain, the villain is really just an ordinary scholar!"

Qiao Ran raised both hands, and laughed awkwardly as he stepped back.

It's just that he had just taken two steps back, when a sharp wind blew in an instant, frightening him so stiff that he didn't dare to move any more.

It took him a while to react, but there was no pain coming from his body. He looked back in a daze, and another knife was on par with the previous one.

However, the last one penetrated three points into the wood, but this one didn't even penetrate the wall.

Shen Ruo didn't know when she took out another one, she tossed it, looked around, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are very courageous, you dare to come to see me alone without a hidden guard .”

"Do you think I look weak and deceitful, easy to deceive?"

Her eyes turned cold for a moment, obviously thinking of something: "Guess, will this knife pass you by this time!"

After finishing speaking, she made a gesture of throwing a knife. Qiao Ran was already trembling with fright, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Don't throw it, don't throw it! I'll say it, I'll say it!"

After Shen Ruo withdrew his hand, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his cuff, let out a long breath, and asked, "Mother, how did you guess it? I think I've disguised myself very well."

Shen Ruo sneered: "If you hadn't come out to claim the merit in a self-righteous manner, I really wouldn't have guessed that you have a special identity."

Qiao Ran smiled embarrassingly: "Actually, Xia is the youngest son of the Nanyue King. This time, he disguised himself and went to the border of the Xiao Kingdom. There was no ulterior conspiracy. He just came here to do business."

"But I didn't want to be caught by a Miao girl on the way, and I was arrested. I was lucky enough to meet you, my mother, and saved my life. I really just wanted to hitch a ride with a few of you and leave Southern Xinjiang..."

"But are you interested in the magical poisons and Gu worms of the Poison King?"

Under Shen Ruo's cynicism, Qiao Ran couldn't hold back the smile on his face, coughed twice, and said: "You don't know how many innocent people this poisonous king has captured as medicine corpses, this is considered to be killing harm for the people, isn't it?" ?”

Shen Ruo ignored his sophistry, but Qiao Ran changed the subject and said, "Since the empress knows the identity of my servant now, why don't you consider making a deal with me?"
