Chapter 54 No One Survives
###54 No one survived in Sui'an Mansion

The damage caused by Qingying Sword has been repelled, and Ye Xiaolou has already guessed that when his skill was damaged, the bone-breaking pain did not kill him, all because of Xiaoyu's body.

What secrets are hidden in this body?Why being close to her brings peace of mind and body.

Maybe it's just because she's wearing the Silk Night.Perhaps this can only be explained by the fact that only Xiye, who has been with him since childhood, can restrain Qingying from hurting him.

Now that he has recovered, there are many things waiting for him to do, and many people are waiting for him to appear.

Entering the palace overnight, the third prince seemed to be the one waiting for him, and he had been waiting for a long time.

"Xiaoyu came to disturb His Highness again, I'm really sorry." Ye Xiaolou said politely.

There were only a few candles lit in the Jingsi Hall, but the moonlight was bright, and the expressions of the two people in the hall could not escape the moonlight at all.

"Miss Xiaoyu should be fine, right?" Xiao Jin asked.

"It has been recovered."

Xiao Jin sighed, but with a gentle smile on his lips, "I thought I must be too worried. When the apprentice comes to the palace, you, the master, must be nearby. If the apprentice is sick, the master must have a way to cure him. There are so many talented people in Jingxianglou that Jingweilou can certainly cure the difficult and complicated diseases that the quack doctors and corrupt officials in the palace like me can't cure."

"It's not an incurable disease. It's just that her body is a little thin, she caught cold, and the cold and heat go back and forth, and she won't recover."

"Since it's done, I'm relieved." The third prince seemed to want to say something more, but Ye Xiaolou showed a look of unwillingness to talk, standing where he was and didn't intend to move any more.

Wei Bing couldn't get used to his attitude, and Xiao Ling felt like he had thorns in his eyes. Only Xiao Jin could see it and didn't think that Ye Xiaolou had an aloof attitude and no respect for the royal family.

They are friends and confidants.Only Ye Xiaolou can truly help him realize his ambition to save the people of the world.

"I know you will definitely come tonight." Xiao Jin changed the topic.

"In the case of Suishan, the Shangwu Sect has done a great job in eradicating demons. Are the ministers in the court making things difficult for the third prince again?"

Xiao Jin smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, it's all expected. It's just that my husband has told me earlier that the red-scaled beasts cannot be hunted before the eleventh day. If they are killed, the appearance of Wuhua Ling will be delayed. Now there is only one red-scaled beast left, and tomorrow the moon will be full, I wonder what the situation will be like on Wangyou Lake by then?"

"'When the strange beasts are gone, everything will bloom.' "The Ballad of Dividing the Sea" records this. The Shangwu Sect is just a little anxious. I am afraid that the eldest prince will be in trouble now, and tomorrow he will definitely prevent the Shangwu Sect from slaying the demon in Wangyou Lake."

"Although Qin Yan is familiar with eldest brother, he always insists on doing things his own way. Even his words are hard to hear. I'm afraid eldest brother can't stop this."

"Why is the third prince worried about the matter between Qin Yan and the eldest prince?"

"What I'm worried about is the people of Sui'an. You don't know something, Xiaolou. The city has been closed for many days. Now none of my people can enter the city. No one knows what happened in the city. I'm afraid..."

"Slaughter the people?" Ye Xiaolou's voice was cold. When these four words were spoken, the third prince shivered with coldness.

"That's what I'm worried about."

The pottery bells were ringing urgently and non-stop, and the elm trees in the southwest were dancing wildly. Xiao Jin heard the sound and looked away. The moon was like a blood-red eye, trying to swallow up everything it shined on.

"There is a change in the southwest, and there may be war."

"Since the outbreak of the Suishan epidemic, Hou Shu has been ready to take action. It has stationed troops in the two cities of Balu and Fengwu. It is said that it is gathering troops for hunting in the spring. I am afraid that only the emperor of Hou Shu believes it."

"Why didn't you tell me this matter earlier? Your father should have known about it earlier."

"It's not too late to know now." Xiao Jin's nervousness did not stir up any waves in Ye Xiaolou's eyes.

No matter what, the country belongs to the Xiao family. His surname is Ye, and he does not receive a salary from the imperial court.

Xiao Jin can always find excuses for Ye Xiaolou's indifference.

"If Hou Shu takes this opportunity to invade Qi and the war breaks out again, the people of Suishan who have finally settled down will have to endure the pain of war again. The disease has not been eliminated and war breaks out again." Xiao Jin sighed repeatedly, covering his chest and standing unsteadily. .

"Why don't you sit down, your body is so weak, but your heart is so big, what good can you say about you?" Hearing Ye Xiaolou's words, Xiao Jin laughed out loud, as if he was laughing at himself and feeling happy.

"If you want to laugh, have a good laugh. Don't laugh harder than crying."

As expected, Xiao Jin smiled more naturally, and his chest no longer felt heavy.The moonlight shone between the corners of his eyebrows, as if he had seen some novel performance. He patted Ye Xiaolou on the shoulder and said, "You talk a lot today."

Ye Xiaolou remained silent.

Xiao Jin bowed his head and laughed, as if there was something really funny.This is the Jingsi Hall, and no one has ever laughed in it. The man in front of me, who is too cautious to even sleep soundly, is laughing loudly in the Jingsi Hall. It must be the funniest thing in the world. .

Apart from Ye Xiaolou, there is no third person here.

"Today, I almost don't recognize you. Hahahahahaha."

"Really?" Ye Xiaolou finally spit out two words.

"Stop pretending to be serious. You are very happy thinking about it in your heart, and your face is glowing with peach blossoms. Don't think that I am in the deep palace and don't understand anything. I was raised by the women in the palace, from childhood to adulthood. , I’ve heard a lot about this kind of thing.”

"what's up?"

"Do you have a sweetheart? Or are you attracted to women?"

Ye Xiaolou glanced at Xiao Jin sharply, and Xiao Jin quickly stopped laughing, and after a while he couldn't help but laugh more and more crazily.

"Could it be that a master falls in love with his apprentice? Qi is the most ethical country, but there can be no personal love between a master and his apprentice. Xiaolou, do you really fall in love with your apprentice who is as crystal clear as condensation?"

"She has a name, Ye Xiaoyu."

"I know I know."

His laughter was loud and clear, not like a frail prince who had been bedridden all year round.But this laughter was instantly interrupted by Wei Bing's rapid pace.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good, it's not good."

"What's so tense?"

Xiao Jin stepped forward and saw Wei Bing's face turned red and out of breath, thinking that something terrible had happened.

"Your Highness, Suishan, Suishan. And Dongting Lake, Dongting Lake."

"Speak slowly, Wei Bing, speak slowly."

"The people of Sui'an Prefecture, all the people are dead."

When Xiao Jin heard this, he didn't expect that Wei Bing's arrival would really confirm his worries, and his face instantly turned pale.

"All the people in Sui'an Mansion are dead. Do you know who did it?"

"Our people cannot reach the city, so these days they have taken turns guarding the roads outside the city that pedestrians must pass. Since the city was closed for several days, there has been nothing strange in the city. No one has entered the city and no one outside the Shangwu Gate has come out. .But just two days ago, two days ago. He died, he was all dead."

Ye Xiaolou took a step forward and put one hand on Wei Bing's back. When Wei Bing calmed down, he asked, "How did you die?"

"Mr. Ye, you are right, you can't seal the city, you can't seal the city."

"How did you die?"

Xiao Jin squeezed Wei Bing's shoulder firmly. If Wei Bing hadn't been strong and thick, he would have made several holes in his shoulder.
