"Oh, Princess, this old slave is useless, this leg..."

Liu Shu lowered her eyes and saw that Mr. Lu's feet were red from the cold, and his exposed toes had cracks.

"Uh...then...?"

Liu Shu's heart tightened and she was so pitiful that she could not speak.

"Princess, Your Majesty has just left. You may have met me if you came here earlier, but it's okay. Go directly to Zhuangzi. No, this is the route map. Take it!"

Liu Shu looked away, pursed her lips and whispered: "Please take care of yourself, we will keep running for you!"

Outside the house, Fenghuang heard clearly: "They are really here to deliver a message for Liu Tingxi!"

"What a Liu Tingxi, I think you are a traitor!"

…

Pingnan, who had just returned to Zhuangzi, was informed by a scout that at the entrance of Zhuangzi, there was a group of people clamoring to see His Majesty. Pingnan ordered two guards to go out to check. Guard Li An stepped forward and searched the people's backs. He felt that there was no surprise.

Then he led them into the village.

There was a roar of a tiger, and the unruly tiger and lion stood under the eaves of the courtyard, majestic.

Here, Liu Shu drank hot tea and went out, but Fenghuang followed them all the way through the white cedar forest and arrived at Liutian Manor almost at midnight.

"who?"

At the entrance of Zhuangzi, a group of guards stopped Liu Shu's master and servant.

Liu Shu handed over the secret message, and the leading guard was none other than Li An. He gave a few instructions to his subordinates and personally led Liu Shu's master and servant to see Ping Nan.

Fenghuang was suspicious and followed carefully. However, Liu Tingxi's aloof and unapproachable demeanor kept flashing in his mind, and he felt a surge of sourness and secretly said:

"...Liu Tingxi, if you have a disobedient heart...I will never forgive you lightly!"

Fenghuang took a shortcut and sneaked into Zhuangzi, bypassing the piles of haystacks... lying down beside a mud wall, watching Liu Shu and the others turn into an alley. It wasn't until the sound of crunching snow gradually faded away that he turned into the alley.

Curved alley.

After twists and turns, Phoenix came to the basin-shaped hinterland, surrounded by a snow-covered mountain forest. At the foot of the mountain forest there was a snow-swept carriage road. Follow the carriage road to the east and climb over a hill. In front of you is a

In the deep canyon, on a bluestone at the top of the canyon, there is an inscription: Clouds cover the sky.

"What a hiding place!"

Because it was a snowy night, Phoenix flew past the mushroom houses of different sizes in the valley, facing the faint snow light, and came to the outside of a two-story courtyard.

The courtyard is surrounded by a neat pine fence. The courtyard is also divided into an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard. The outer courtyard is very spacious and guarded by several guards and tigers and lions. A large dark wooden door is closed tightly. On both sides of the wooden door, two dimly lit lanterns

Swaying back and forth in the wind and snow, it looked particularly cold and lonely.

"Aowu, Aowu!"

In the yard, the ferocious roars of tigers and lions could be heard from time to time.

"Sure enough, Pingnan is really capable. He actually has such a stronghold in the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"

Phoenix's heart suddenly burst into joy. He ducked into an old tree on the left side of the courtyard and observed everything in the courtyard from a high position.

At this time, Liu Shu and the others also entered the yard. The guard took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and patted an old tree in the southwest corner three times. "Bang, bang, bang," the tree trunk was divided into two, slowly moving to both sides.

Move it, and after you move it, you will find a secret passage.

"Well, this design is good!"

"After thinking about it, this courtyard is just a show-off. Ping Nan must live in the forest. Could it be that she has other entrances and exits?"

Phoenix suddenly lost his composure. If he blocked this place, then she could escape through another exit. Wouldn't this search be in vain?

Phoenix was thinking, "Creak", after the tree door opened, there was a dim light slanting out from inside. Sure enough, this is a well-concealed passage.

"Dong dong, dong dong..."

Liu Shu and the others went in, and the guards inside received the person and handed Li An a small red sign. Li An held the sign and whispered: "Princess, I am here to send you here!"

After handing over, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard. Phoenix thought for a moment... He flew over, knocked out Li An with one palm, put on his robe, quickly changed his appearance, entered the courtyard and opened the tree door.

"Oh, captain of the guard, are you back again?"

The soldier guarding the door inside asked with a smile. Fenghuang pretended to be displeased, snorted sullenly, and strode in.

The passage was not very long, about five or six feet wide, and not very high. Phoenix nodded and walked. Every once in a while, there would be a soldier with a solemn expression standing guard, holding a kerosene stick, so the entire passage was as bright as day.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fortunately, Phoenix pretended to be Li An, a celebrity in front of the imperial court, and everyone bowed their heads when they saw it, which was regarded as courtesy.

"Your Majesty, they are here!"

At the archway, a little maid in emerald green clothes came to greet her. The eldest palace maid Lin Zhang'er quickly scolded: "Chun Ye, step back."

"Yes, slave..."

Chunye curled her lips, lowered her eyebrows and left.

Inside the house, on a soft couch against the wooden wall, the expressionless Empress Pingnan of the Zhou Dynasty was leaning.

Frost-white hair covered half of her cheeks, and Lin Zhang'er was waiting on her attentively. Liu Shu entered the door and looked at Ping Nan on the snow fox soft couch, her heart still trembled: "It's so cold.

Eyes!"

She quickly leaned over and knelt down and said: "Liu Shu wishes to greet Her Majesty the Queen. May Your Majesty live long, long live!"

Ping Nan glanced at her and said with a snort:

"Send it over..."

Liu Shu understood and held up the secret tube with both hands.

Ping Nan glanced at her again, took the secret letter from Lin Zhanger with one hand, and looked at her face with anger. Liu Shu couldn't help but tremble in her heart: "Rumors say...she has a perverse personality, happy and angry,

The rapid changes won’t kill me, right?”

"Um?……"

"that's it……?"

Pingnan's eyes were like arrows, and two hunting cold rays shot out.

"ah?……"

Liu Shu was so frightened that she fell to the ground. Yanma mustered up the courage to support her and said: "Princess, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

Lin Zhang'er frowned, pointed with her delicate hand and said: "Your Majesty, what do you want to ask? Tell me if there is anything else you have to say!"

Liu Shu came back to her senses, looked at Lin Zhang'er, and then at Ping Nan. She saw a cold expression on her face, and the ends of her slender eyes were already glowing with a layer of scarlet.

Liu Shu's timidity increased again, she stroked her forehead and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I really don't know the content of the secret message... I... I am only responsible for delivering it."

"Yes, I am accompanying the princess. The rest... we don't know."

Yan Ma crawled forward, knelt beside her master and helped explain.

"Snapped!"

"Talk too much!"

Lin Zhang'er understood the Sacred Heart, raised her hand and gave Yan Ma a resounding slap in the face. Yan Ma's mouth was red, her cheeks puffed up and she dared not speak in anger.

When Liu Shu saw this, her pupils shrank and she lay on the ground begging for mercy.

Pingnan threw the letterbox to the ground, stood up slowly, pinched Liu Shu's delicate chin and said coldly: "You lied! I know you are Liu Tingxi's adopted sister, does he want to betray me?"

"Betrayal? What a joke, when did my prince make an alliance with you?" Yan's mother raised her head, looked at Ping Nan, and asked confidently.

"Twenty palms!"

"No, please forgive me, your majesty. This slave is ignorant and bumped into you... atone for your sins, atone for your sins!"

Liu Shu repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy. Yan Ma smiled sadly and bravely endured twenty slaps until her cheeks were red and swollen and the corners of her lips were bleeding without even making a sound.

"Yan Ma, Yan Ma..." Liu Shu cried loudly and rushed towards her.

Yanma stared at Pingnan and said vaguely: "Princess, I don't feel any pain, I don't feel any pain!"

After being slapped, Liu Shu lost all her courage. The master and servant both lowered their heads and knelt beside the short table, crying silently.

Suddenly, there was a "crash" sound, and Ping Nan stood up and drew out the long sword on the sword rest, pointing at Liu Shu's snow-white neck. He said murderously: "Since the surname Liu does not keep the promise... Today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"

After saying that, he slashed his sword towards Liu Shu's snow-white neck. The atmosphere in the whole room suddenly dropped, and the air was bitterly cold. Lin Zhanger lowered his eyebrows, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and quickly tried to dissuade him:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, it's important to take care of your dragon body!"

Everyone in the house also hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but the old man with the eagle on his shoulders looked gloating.

Bang! A flame ball flicked away. Pingnan felt his wrist go numb and the sword fell out of his hand.

""who?"

"Be bold! There is an assassin, catch him!..."

Fenghuang remained calm. The suspicious Pingnan glanced at everyone in the room, and finally his eyes fell on Fenghuang, "Li An, why are you here?"

"Haha... thief, you see clearly, who is this young master?"
