Morbid pet

The monks in Hanshan Temple have been terrified for a long time.

Because someone broke into Hanshan Temple and killed several monks guarding the gate.

Although the monk's martial arts are not top-notch, after all, he has practiced for decades. How could he die so quietly?

A group of monks were frightened and gathered together one after another, ready to resist desperately.

The man was wearing a dark purple brocade robe and a silver mask, and he looked like a man from the Jianghu.

"Who the hell are you? Why did you break into my Hanshan Temple!" A monk yelled.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hahahaha-"

The masked man's laughter echoed in Hanshan Temple, making it extremely strange.

A cold and eerie voice sounded in the monk's ears. The monks all took a few steps back and saw him suddenly draw his sword.

The sharp blade drew a sharp arc in the air, and then, the cold wind howled, and the monks found that their throats had been cut!
The monk covered the wound, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground unwillingly.

This is a unilateral killing feast!
The monks could not resist at all.

The only thing we can count on is foreign aid.

But some people didn't even see the face of the dead enemy clearly.

The corpses of the monks lay scattered in the courtyard, and the blood stained the bluestone road.

And the man seemed to dislike the lack of blood, so he stomped hard again.

He stood with the knife in his hand, his eyes swept around, and then fell on the fainted girl, with a bloodthirsty smile on his lips, he slowly approached the woman with the knife in his hand.

"My patience is limited." His indifferent and gloomy voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hells.
-
When Changle arrived at Hanshan Temple, he saw many monks laying in disorder in Hanshan Temple. There was a long, thin and hideous knife mark on their necks, and blood flowed along the knife mark, ticking, ticking, forming a winding and A meandering creek.

And the girl fell in front of a stone tablet, trembling and shrinking.

She curled up into a ball, closed her eyes tightly, and seemed to be asleep.

Changle's eyes roamed her body for a moment, then he frowned and asked the guard beside him, "What's going on?"

The guards lowered their heads and reported, "The subordinates were ordered to guard the various checkpoints and not allow strangers to enter or leave, but unexpectedly three men in black appeared suddenly and took them away with lightning speed."

"Three?" Chang Le's eyebrows frowned even deeper, "Could it be them?"

Her eyes fell on the girl, and she vaguely guessed that this girl might not be able to escape.

"Yes, there are six of them in total. They are all veiled and tall. When the subordinates chased them out, they had already disappeared into the darkness."

Chang Le pursed his lips, "What do those people want to do?"

"Maybe it's for money." The guard said: "Otherwise, why would you kidnap a girl? In this kind of wilderness, unless it's for money, it's not worth kidnapping a girl who is helpless, right?"

"It's a pity that we are late. Where are you and Your Majesty at midnight?" Changle sighed.

Tan Dao: "Empress, should we send someone to find the traces of those bandits?"

"No need for the time being." Chang Le waved his hand and said, "Since they have taken the girl away, I'm afraid they won't let her go easily. We'll do it after they get in touch with other people."

Chang Le paused, and continued: "Besides, at this hour, even if we find those people, it's useless. We don't know how many people will be injured or sacrificed. Let's save people first."

She ordered: "Go and ask a doctor to come over and take a look at the girl's pulse."

"Yes."

When the little maid woke up, she saw Changle sitting by the bed guarding her.

She froze for a moment, then struggled to get up and salute.

Chang Le stopped her, and said softly: "You still have injuries on your body, don't get up soon."

"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am." The little maid was full of tears.

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let anyone bully you." Chang Le said while holding her hand.

"Thank you ma'am! Thank you for saving me! Please save our young lady too! The young lady was taken away by that masked man and is still in his hands. That man... is too powerful in martial arts, it is really terrifying !” the servant girl cried.

Changle squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, the scene at the gate of Hanshan Temple was still vivid in her mind, she thought and thought, and said: "Those dead monks all knew martial arts, and when we went to Hanshan Temple, we searched and rescued them, You are the only one alive. The rest of the people are dead. Could it be that the masked man you mentioned did it? Isn’t this an ordinary robbery?!”

The little maid cried: "Ma'am, this is not an ordinary case. The masked man, I should know, is Miss's former fiancé, Xiao Yan! But I'm not sure."

Changle took the little maid's hand and signaled her not to be anxious and speak slowly. "Take a drink of water and tell me slowly, who is your lady?"

The little maid cried: "Our young lady is the eldest lady of the Jiang family in Chang'an City. She is such a bright pearl as the master and the madam, and they all protect her! That Xiao Yan was her former fiancé, but it was just a child relative. I was down and out ten years ago, and my family moved to Jiangnan. I don’t know why I came back suddenly recently. Maybe it’s because my wife sent a letter to their family, saying that the marriage contract between the two families should be cancelled, and the marriage contract should be returned. It’s a huge sum of compensation for the down and out Xiao family! It’s just to prevent Xiao Yan from pestering Miss.”

Chang Le tasted it, "I probably know. Xiao Yan, right?" She got up and went out, and then turned back quickly.

The little maid was still crying, but her injuries were not serious. It was strange that so many people had died, and only one little maid who had no strength to restrain her survived.

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the door, and a soft voice calling for His Majesty.

Chang Le suddenly stood up from the bed, her eyes fixed on the door, and sure enough, she bumped into Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao was in a state of distress, with color on his face, it seemed that he hadn't chased the assassin.

Changle was suddenly angry and funny, "You! Why didn't you pay attention? Didn't we agree that you would come over first to see the situation and then wait for Tan Dao to lead the troops? It's so dangerous to run out by yourself! You have to remember that you can't do anything in the future. We can’t do this!”

Xie Zhao didn't say anything. He took two steps forward and hugged Chang Le. He held Chang Le tightly in his arms and was unwilling to let go for a long time. "You shouldn't have come."

His voice was cold, as if he was still choked with blood.

Chang Le scolded with a smile: "I shouldn't come, so you should come? The king of Wancheng is not in danger, do you understand?"

Xie Zhao hugged Changle even tighter. "Well, Midnight is still in the hands of that person. He came prepared, and I chased after them, but they are really strong and familiar with the mountain road, so they lost track of them in the end, and then ran into Tan Dao , I will come back to look for you first, Tan Dao and the others have already chased after you."

Chang Le let out a breath, patted his back, and said, "Let go, you hurt me."

Xie Zhao then slowly let go.

There was a little girl sitting on the bed, Xie Zhao asked, "Is this the lady that the woman on the mountain lost?"

Chang Le shook her head: "This is the young lady's servant girl. She said that the perpetrator was her young lady's former fiancé. Because she was dissatisfied with the divorce here, she thought of a way to take revenge."

Xie Zhao suddenly thought about this possibility.

He sighed, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, this person is too hateful!"

Chang Le only felt a little scary, "Azhao, if according to what they said today, the man only had six followers, but he could easily slaughter the entire Hanshan Temple, and he was also taken away in the middle of the night, it doesn't seem like a good thing Those who are with each other must be careful, I suspect that their martial arts practice has gone crazy."

Xie Zhao thought for a while and said, "It's unlikely. I've seen all the dead bodies. It's a very smooth incision, and I didn't see any poison."

Chang Le didn't know much about martial arts, so he just said based on his intuition: "You must be very careful."

Xie Zhao hummed, placed a light kiss on her head, and then continued to walk out.

Changle doesn't know martial arts, and it's useless to go out, so he just sat here and chatted with this little girl.

The little girl was a little scared at first, especially after knowing their identities.

One is the emperor and the other is the queen.

Changle was unexpectedly peaceful and kind, and did not feel superior at all because of his identity.

This made the little servant girl very upset, and she began to talk to Chang Le about what happened to Xiao Yan in the past.

Little maid: "Xiao Yan actually had a hard life. My father likes to drink and gamble, and he is not motivated. His grandfather's property has long been ruined by his father. In his early years, Xiao Yan lived in Chang'an before he left Chang'an City." In the Jiang Mansion, the wife and the master treated Xiao Yan very well, but the young lady seemed to have always been at odds with this Xiao Yan. The two had conflicts since they were young. I used to fight a lot when I was young, and in the end it was almost always Miss Ying."

Changle: "Then they should have a good relationship, right? Why did it develop into what it is now?"

The little maid said: "I don't know, maybe everyone has their own difficulties."

Chang Le hummed without asking again.

When she was about to get up, she heard a series of very light footsteps outside. It was really light, and she couldn't hear it unless she listened carefully.Changle immediately pulled the little girl up from the bed. They are now staying in a small courtyard of a farmhouse, with a dozen guards around the door. Logically, if someone is there, they should report it, not like now.

Quiet.

Suddenly there were screams and footsteps.

Changle immediately pulled up the little maid: "Go! Follow me!"

The scene was too chaotic.

The man with the silver mask outside had already come towards them.

Chang Le let out a cry of surprise, and then turned onto the fierce horse with the little maid.

"drive--"

She clamped the horse's belly, whipped the whip crazily, and her body bumped along with the horse.

The little maid was still a little uncomfortable, she exclaimed: "Ma'am, are you okay?"

Chang Le only tilted his head and said coldly: "I'll give you a bottle of poison. When someone catches up with you, you can sprinkle it where you can touch him! Do you understand! Don't worry."

The little maid held the bottle of transparent medicinal powder in her hand, and her mood was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs.

Only one man in black chased after him first.

Changle's horse is a bloody BMW, and fortunately she rode this horse, otherwise she might be caught up by these people today!
She galloped crazily on the mountain road, praying in her heart that the gods and Buddhas would bless her this time!
She doesn't want to fall into the hands of the bad guys, it's really humiliating to be that kind of fish at the mercy of others!

The little maid was very clever, and when she was crooked with the poison, she poured it out a little behind her back, and the poison followed the curve of the wind, blowing on the face of the person behind, and then there was a cry of pain and a loud noise.

The pursuers fell off their horses and died.

Chang Le looked behind, there were still two people chasing them, but the current distance was far away, and they could already slow down.

Chang Le maintained a constant speed, then turned his head and said, "Very good, you did a good job."

The little maid's hands were trembling. The man's knife was about to break through her back just now. Fortunately, she managed to make such a quick move to make the people behind retreat.

Otherwise, it's hard to say what the two of them are doing now.

Changle ran along a road on the mountain road, praying to meet Xie Zhao and the others as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a cold arrow passed by behind her, wiping away two locks of hair beside her ears.

Chang Le turned his head to look, the masked boy on the hillside was holding his bow towards them with his lips curled up.
Chang Le thought to himself that something was wrong, and then speeded up.

The little maid has already started to say: "Ma'am! He... is on the hillside——"

The poisoned sword touched the little girl's back, and she was hit five times, and then hugged Chang Le tightly, spit out mouthfuls of blood from the corner of her mouth, warm and wet on Chang Le's body .

Only then did Chang Le realize that the person behind him had been shot by an arrow!
She yelled: "Hey! Little girl! Wake up! Wake up—don't sleep, I will take you to the doctor, hold on for a while!"

Chang Le almost cried helplessly, but her eyes were dry without any tears.

In this situation, she cannot break down emotionally. If she breaks down, the consequences will be disastrous, and she will be the next person to be shot.

The little servant girl was still thinking about being a human shield for Chang Le until she died, and the last thing she said was: "Madam, save Miss." Then she fell down and couldn't breathe anymore.

Changle suddenly felt that her back was empty, and the little maid had fallen behind her. She knew that she was dead and could not be saved.

At this moment, the tear glands started to run wildly, and she had been enduring the collapse.

The pursuers are coming soon.

Changle was almost on the verge of collapse.

It's not that she hasn't seen dead people.

But this was the first time that someone was willing to stand behind her and help her suffer those cold arrows in order to save her, but the price was only for her to save others.

Chang Le felt that his legs were heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and they were trembling with the horse's belly sandwiched between them.

She felt that she would not be able to find Xie Zhao.

Consciousness began to slowly slacken.

"Changle—"

A cold and powerful voice came from the front.

It's Xie Zhao!
Chang Le rekindled his fighting spirit and used his last bit of strength to rush to Xie Zhao's side. Then his body suddenly lost strength and fell in mid-air. Xie Zhao got up and hugged him.

This is a very dangerous action. Maybe both of them are at risk of falling off the horse.But Xie Zhao didn't hesitate for a second, and just did it.

He was still holding the woman in his arms and shouted, "Baby, wake up!"

Chang Le was hit by a cold arrow, but it was just a bruise, she didn't even feel it, maybe the little maid's blood had infected her body just now, she couldn't tell the difference.

And that cold arrow is poisonous.

The arm hit by the arrow began to turn purple-black slowly.

Xie Zhao couldn't care less about chasing people, and immediately removed the string of life-saving beads from Changle on her wrist, picked up a bead with a knife, and put the black detoxification pill inside into her mouth.

He prayed: "Hurry. Hurry."

If you don't hurry up and wait for the toxin to spread, you can only cut off your arms.

Chang Le will never accept that she has a handicap until she dies.

Xie Zhao was absolutely sure of this.

He would rather cut off his own arm to save Changle than it would be a pity.

But Changle can’t.

Tan Dao continued to chase with two elite soldiers.

Xie Zhao camped on the spot and waited for Changle to wake up.

The time is passing by every minute and every second.

Xie Zhao felt that he had never been so anxious.

That feeling of powerlessness returned to my heart.

At this time, he began to regret why he listened to the slander of the fortune teller and killed the Gu worms in An Ying's body that could save people. At this time, it is still useful to bring An Ying along!

Xie Zhao hated himself to death.

"Cough-cough-"

Changle woke up leisurely, and the first thing he asked was: "That person is Xiao Yan, Sanlang of the Xiao family, and his target is you!"

Xie Zhao didn't care about other people's goals, he just hugged Chang Le tightly, and then anxiously put his head on her head to see if she had a fever.

Fortunately, Changle only had a cough and no fever.

The bruised area has improved.

Her pill that can cure hundreds of poisons is indeed very useful.

Xie Zhao: "Chuchu, I shouldn't have left you there just now, I was wrong. It's all my fault, can you forgive me? Promise me in the future, don't get involved, next time, next time I will really do not know what to do with it."

Chang Le shook his head, suppressing the soreness in his heart. "Xie Zhao! Go after him and bring that ignorant person to justice!"

Xie Zhao nodded, "I have to watch you return to the palace before I can find someone with confidence. You can't make any mistakes now."

After finishing speaking, he picked up Changle and mounted his horse to gallop towards Chang'an City.

This trip is too dangerous.

Chang Le didn't even dare to think, what if she didn't train the horse well?
Isn't that just a catch?
There is no way to fight back.

The only pity is that that delicate little girl will stay in the past forever.

Chang Le withdrew her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Go back and ask someone to gather up the body of the little girl on the mountain road, and then see if there is anyone in her family, and give some consolation money, she just saved my life, Xie Zhao , she saved my life."

Xie Zhao hummed, then hugged her tightly, "Okay, I know."

Only then did Chang Le close his eyes tiredly and fell into a deep sleep.
-
This journey was extremely difficult. Although Xie Zhao was very good at riding, his speed was much slower because he was traveling alone.

When he finally returned to the palace, Xie Zhao rushed into the palace gate with Chang Le in his arms.

"Physician Xuan—Hurry up! Call the imperial physician quickly! Call everyone over."

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?!"

"Call the imperial doctor!" Xie Zhao couldn't care less about other matters at this time, so he could only shout with all his strength.

Chang Le opened his eyes in a daze at this time, "No, don't...no need..."

She stretched out her fingers and pressed the center of her eyebrows, trying to keep herself awake. She knew that she couldn't faint now, and once she fainted, she would never wake up again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Dian Cui screamed in horror, she supported Chang Le to sit up, and Chang Le leaned on her shoulder, "Don't disturb me, I'll rest for a while."

"Niang Niang! Niang Niang!" Dian Cui kept calling her, but Chang Le couldn't hear her at all.

"Hurry up and get a bowl of ginseng soup for the empress!" Xie Zhao ordered.

"Your servant knows." The little maid immediately went to prepare.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from far to near, it was the third watch.

In the middle of the night, his face was covered with sweat, obviously he had just come back from a long journey.

Xie Zhao frowned, looked at the third watch, and asked calmly: "Third watch, where were you when you saved people? I told you to look after the empress, that's how you see it? Are you guilty?!"

"The minister is guilty! I beg your majesty to come down!"

"Are you guilty?!"

"The minister is guilty! I beg your majesty to come down!"

"Are you guilty?! Changle almost died on the mountain road today! If the little girl she saved hadn't helped her block the fatal cold arrow, what I'm holding in my arms now is a cold corpse! Three shifts You have let me down so much!" Xie Zhao said viciously, he was very angry today.

"I am guilty! I beg your majesty to come down!" repeated the third watch.

Xie Zhao was furious, "Go and get [-] boards yourself, and then come and kneel at the gate of the platform to atone for your sins!"

In the middle of the night, he knew that he had neglected his duty. He saw a silver mask falling on the mountain road, and then wanted to look for clues. After all, Night Shift had been his brother through life and death for so many years, and it was impossible to ignore him.

But just as he left on his front foot, he was assassinated on his back foot.

All the guards he brought died under Xiao Yan's knife.

When he chased it out, Changle had already disappeared.

What happened later was that Xie Zhao met Changle.

Fortunately, Xie Zhao met Changle.

Otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable.

It was time to receive the punishment at three o'clock.

Fifty large plates.

It's not a mandarin duck board. Although the person who made the board has already paid attention to the strength of his hands, the fifty big board can really kill people directly.

At midnight, he gritted his teeth and said, "Use force——"

The people around were crying and persuading: "You can't use more force, if you use more force you will die!"

Sandeng gritted his teeth and said, "Strength!"
-
It rained on the platform.

Chang Le was fine after taking the Jiedu pills, but she was more frightened and exhausted from strenuous exercise in a short period of time, so she fainted.

An Ying ran over as soon as he received the news. Now he has no way to drive the Gu worms to cure her, so he can only watch and do nothing.

Xie Zhao continued to go out to catch Xiao Yan.

this game.

Xie Zhao must win.

When Changle woke up, it was already the middle of the night.

She stood up and put on her clothes and walked out. An Ying was standing guard at the door of the study, his eyes were red with anger.

Chang Le tilted his head and said, "Why are you still guarding here? Go back and rest, I have nothing else to do."

An Ying shook his head, "I'm worried about you."

Changle sneered: "Don't worry about me, I'm already fine."

An Ying said stubbornly: "Today is really dangerous. Why didn't you ask me to go with you when you returned to the palace? At least I can use a sword, which is better than you who can only ride a horse!"

Chang Le shook her head, "Why did I call you? It's not your business. Besides, if you are in danger, what will I think in the future? Do I still dare to make friends?" She sneered, "Do you know? There was a little girl who died trying to save me. She deliberately sat behind me and protected me from the cold arrows. If it wasn’t for her, I would be dead now. And her last wish before she died was to ask me to save her family Miss, instead of looking for me for a little pity or something. Anying, do you think human nature is like this? It is erratic and drifts away."

An Ying heard what happened in Changle today.

The body of that little maid has been buried in Nanming Mountain.

As well as her remaining family members, Xie Zhao gave them a high pension.

An Ying still felt it was a pity that she should be the one who was by Changle's side today.

An Ying said suddenly: "Everyone has their own destiny. She chose to save you because she had only one choice at the time, and you deserve to live a good life. Have you ever thought about learning a little martial arts? Or self-defense?"

Changle thought for a while and said: "I am already this age, and if I still learn those kung fu, no matter how much I learn, it will only be the kung fu of a three-legged cat. Besides, I really don't like to wield swords, so I started to refine my own poison." Well, that's why. I want to protect myself, but today, maybe I should learn a little bit, at least not be too passive."

An Ying also nodded: "You should learn, or I will bring the teacher to learn with you every day in the future, so that you won't feel bored."

Chang Le burst out laughing, the corners of his lips curled into a smile, "Okay, His Majesty is also very willing for me to learn some self-defense skills."

An Ying nodded slightly.

Chang Le sat in the yard with a heavy heart, the moon was curved, and its reflection was in the pond, and there were goldfish swimming in the pond.

Chang Le got up and slowly picked up a handful of Broken Moon, "Hope, there will be no more killings."

She laughed to herself when she finished.

The Arabian Nights is literally.

The deepest evil of human nature cannot be erased.

Where there is light, there is shadow.

The prosperous age of Haiqing and Heyan is destined to be a full moon vision in the mouth of the master.

An Ying also sighed obviously, "It's still early, we still have a long way to go. The future depends on the children."

Chang Le suddenly felt that she was old, she smiled and said, "I feel that I am old, what should I do?"

An Ying frowned, and immediately retorted: "How old are you? You still look like a noble girl in a boudoir, not at all like a mother of two children. Changle, don't deny yourself like that."

Chang Le nodded sullenly.

house.

The cry of the child was loud.

It seems to be a mother-child connection.

Feeling the depression in Changle's heart at this moment, he also started crying.

Chang Le strode into the room with a white skirt in her hand to coax the child.

An Ying looked at him sideways, thinking about something silently.

In the end it was not said.

those words.

It's not the time to say it yet.

He also felt that he was not worthy to mention this to Chang Le.

Right now, the matter of Xiao Yan must be resolved first.

The death of the little maid had a great psychological impact on Changle.
