Chapter 289 Mysterious Man
Because Lin Shen was seriously injured, he was temporarily left in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to recuperate.
Su Changxue is not only the young master of Shenli Valley, but also has miraculous medical skills that can bring people back to life.
However, although Lin Shen was seriously injured, his life was not in danger.
So with Su Changxue's magic medicine, his injuries were quickly stabilized.
Xiao Tingye had to clean up the mess as soon as he sent Lin Zhaoyue to the Marquis' Mansion.
Once again, I returned to the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, but the Marquis Xuanping was no longer there.
When Lu Shizi led his troops to fight against He Xi, he was beheaded by He Xi.
What a pity, she didn't have the chance to mock Lu Shi.
The entire Xuanping Marquis Mansion was soon taken over by the court, and the original servants of the mansion were also dismissed.
The plaque of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was also taken down and burned.
Lin Zhaoyue slowly sat down in the upper seat in the hall and looked at the heavy snow outside the hall.
The snow fell from the eaves, and the bluestone slabs in the yard were already covered with a thin blanket of snow.
She was also covered with a thick fox quilt.
The fur collar also makes her face look even cooler and more noble.
The stove in the hall was burning with charcoal, and the temperature on my fingertips gradually returned to normal.
Feng Mian walked in covered in snow, "Your Highness, we have searched the entire mansion, but there is no sign of Chu Yinyin."
Mu Ying poured a glass of hot tea and handed it to Lin Zhaoyue, "Your Highness."
Lin Zhaoyue reached out to take the hot tea and held it in her palm to warm it.
The heat was curling up, but it couldn't hide the slight coolness in her eyes.
"I have asked all the servants in the mansion, and none of them know where Chu Yinyin has gone. They even heard her making a lot of noise not long ago, but for some reason, she suddenly stopped making noises. They also said that Chu Yinyin seemed to be crazy recently, saying all the time some incomprehensible things, and they wondered if she had gone crazy and ran away."
Lin Zhaoyue took a sip of hot tea and said, "I understand."
Feng Mian looked up, but saw that Her Royal Highness didn't seem surprised at all, as if everything was within her expectations. She couldn't help but wonder, "It seems Her Royal Highness knew she would disappear?"
Lin Zhaoyue raised the corner of her lips slightly: "No, I just guessed that there is this possibility."
She asked Mu Ying, "How's the investigation going on with the thing I asked you to investigate?"
Mu Ying took a small step forward. "I made a special trip to Chu Yinyin's hometown. From what the servants in Chu Yinyin's courtyard had told me, the man she called her teacher was a man. He was about twenty years old at the time, with an ordinary appearance, and he always wore white clothes."
"When Chu Yinyin was little, this person would appear every once in a while. He would teach her poetry, singing, and dancing, as well as some rare skills. He would also teach her how to attract men and tell her that her true love existed in the capital. Her husband would love her like a treasure, and she would become the happiest woman in the world."
After a pause, Mu Ying continued, "According to the servant, the man was very mysterious, but Chu Yinyin believed him wholeheartedly. After Chu Yinyin turned twelve, the man never appeared again. And there's another thing... The servant said that the man didn't look... like a human, and his speech sounded strange."
Lin Zhaoyue raised her eyes and said, "Not like a human?" Her tone became a little colder.
Mu Ying nodded, "Yes, but she couldn't explain it clearly when I asked her."
Mu Ying couldn't help but shudder as she spoke, "Your Highness, how could someone not look like a human..."
When Mu Ying heard this, she actually got goosebumps.
Lin Zhaoyue smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, we will see each other soon."
Mu Ying and Feng Mian looked at each other.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
But soon, they discovered something.
Mingxi, who basically never left the princess's side, is missing.
The other side.
A figure quickly passed through the bushes.
The masked man in white was holding a dying woman in his hands.
The speed is amazing.
Just as he was about to land, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
The beautiful boy who looked like a demon had a wild look between his eyebrows, but his eyes were staring at them coldly.
He raised a smile and said, "You ran pretty fast. I almost couldn't catch up with you."
The man in white took a step back.
And Chu Yinyin in his hand also woke up.
She raised her head and looked at Mingxi. A glimmer of hope flashed through her lifeless eyes. Her hoarse voice was like a dead tree snapping. "It's you... Mingxi... Are you here to protect me... You finally understand... I'm the one you should protect... Right..."
She remembered that Mingxi was supposed to be her servant.
The person he should be loyal to is himself, and the one he acknowledges as the Lord is also himself.
She can do without Mingxi, but Mingxi can't live without her.
Mingxi is hers...
But what answered her was Mingxi's disgust.
"What are you talking about? How can I possibly protect someone like you?"
A scimitar instantly appeared in his hand, and he stared at the man coldly with narrowed eyes.
The man wanted to change direction and escape, but he was immediately surrounded by several men in black robes.
The leader among them was Mo He.
Ming Xi sighed, "So slow! If it weren't for me, he would have already run away."
Mo He didn't say anything, just drew his sword.
He didn't expect that Mingxi's speed was so fast.
The tracking skills are better than theirs.
The man in white suddenly had nowhere to retreat and asked coldly, "What are you going to do?"
Hearing his voice, Mingxi frowned.
But he quickly put on a arrogant grin and said in a sinister tone, "My prince wants to see you. Either you follow me obediently. Or... I will bring your body with me."
The man in white stood still like a pine tree, not even his sleeves fluttering.
Chu Yinyin was still deeply immersed in her own madness. She murmured in a trembling voice: "Why... Teacher... Why is everything not as you said..." Tears mixed with blood ran down her cheeks: "The girl of destiny you said... should have been me..."
Suddenly she screamed hysterically, "Master, please save me... Do you know what they did to me? They all betrayed me! They don't love me at all! I want them dead! I want to kill them!!"
The shrill cries drifted away in the cold wind, but the man in white remained calm.
At this moment, Mingxi's scimitar had already slashed out a sharp air blade, like a crescent moon breaking through the air, heading straight for the opponent's throat!
Before the blade arrived, the sharp sword energy had already caused the opponent's clothes to flutter.
Seeing this, Mo He suddenly turned on his hunting attitude! His aura suddenly changed, like a beast out of the cage.
All the Black Eagle Guards jumped up at the same time, and the flashes of swords and sabers formed a net that surrounded the man in white.
The murderous aura instantly froze the air within a radius of ten feet, and even the falling snowflakes were shattered by the blade wind!
Lin Zhaoyue raised her head, looked at the clear sky outside, and said softly, "The snow has stopped."
There was originally only a thin layer of snow, but in just a moment, it was enough to bury the uppers of the shoes.
Feng Mian and Mu Ying were waiting on both sides.
Suddenly, several figures flew down from the eaves.
The first to fall was Mingxi, who was carrying a man in white.
He threw the man in white onto the snow.
At the same time, Mo He fell next.
He was holding Chu Yinyin in his hand, but Chu Yinyin looked like she had fainted.
"Your Highness." Mu Ying looked outside and immediately helped Lin Zhaoyue up.
Mingxi took two steps at a time and walked over to stand in front of Lin Zhaoyue.
He looked a little worried.
"Your Highness, it's a bit scary. That person... seems like a monster."
That's why he threw it outside, not wanting to bring it in and scare His Highness.
Lin Zhaoyue was puzzled. "Monster?"
Mingxi nodded, looking a little anxious. "I don't know what to say... just... be careful."
Mu Ying and Feng Mian had already looked at the man in the snow, and their expressions suddenly changed.
"Princess!" Feng Mian's voice became a little surprised.
Lin Zhaoyue also looked forward.
Mingxi also obediently gave up her seat, but did not dare to leave at all.
As if he was worried that something unexpected might happen at any time, he stayed by Lin Zhaoyue's side.
When Lin Zhaoyue looked at the man in white, her eyes became stern and a trace of fear flashed through her heart.
She took a few steps forward again and slowly walked in front of the man in white.
Seeing this, Mingxi immediately followed.
The man in white on the ground had his face split open, but what was revealed was not flesh and blood, but metal.
He was not dead, his whole body was twitching and making crackling sounds.
The pair of ink-black pupils expanded to an incredible extent, almost occupying the entire eye socket.
The arrangement of the facial features is indescribably weird, as if it was put together at random. You forget it as soon as you see it, but it makes people feel cold in their hearts.
Suddenly, his eyes turned mechanically and finally locked onto Lin Zhaoyue.
Ming Xi flashed and stood in front of her.
Mu Ying and Feng Mian's expressions changed at the same time, and they both took defensive stances.
But he just stared at Lin Zhaoyue and didn't do anything else.
Lin Zhaoyue suppressed her surging fear, her voice a little deeper than usual: "What's going on?"
Ming Xi immediately said, "When my subordinates went to track Chu Yinyin, they found this man. He was the one who took Chu Yinyin away." He stared at the man on the ground and whispered, "His martial arts moves were exquisite but rigid. It took the combined efforts of Mo He's Black Hawk Guard and I to severely injure him. We then discovered... this man doesn't seem to be human."
