Chapter 113 The fire is burning, people are fighting
In the pitch-black jar, it seems that the deepest thoughts hidden in people's hearts can be magnified.
You are innocent...
From the beginning to now, this name seems to have left a deeper and deeper mark in Su Jixue's mind, but it is not her fault.
Su Jixue leaned against the wall of the jar, lazily soaking in her own blood, her whole body relaxed as if she was soaking in a hot spring.
The vague soul gradually solidified.
The original cracks seemed to be slowly healing.
After all, from the moment she met the War King, he had never let her down.
This is the case in Gu'an City and also in the capital.
Everything is as she wished.
At every moment, in every matter, there is no loss.
At this time, the secret room outside was filled with smoke, and Zong Kui was injured and weak, but he still couldn't stop coughing.
It sounds somewhat pleasant.
After a while, even Ji Xue's mother couldn't bear the smoke and started coughing.
It seems that the two of them can't hold on for much longer.
Su Jixue's lips curved up as she played with the heart in the blood jar, like a charm, and muttered to herself, "I think Jun Wuzui is a good person. What do you think?"
The heart in his hand was smooth, soft, and very fresh, and it fell into the blood in an instant.
Su Jixue picked up the heart again and held it in her hands: "You think so too."
A sneeze!
At this time, the War King and his men had already left the hall of Baihua Tower because it was also on fire.
The morning light is dim.
Wenqingfang has been sealed off.
The fire in Baihua Tower was like the rising sun, and the blazing flames were dazzling.
Inside the palace, the emperor, who had already learned that King Zhan had sealed off the city, probably hadn't slept all night. When he saw the fire in Wenqingfang, the corners of his originally straight lips finally curved up.
"I am tired, change my clothes for me."
The emperor is asleep.
But the ministers who didn't know what was going on were still trapped in their homes, feeling anxious and unable to sleep.
Who could have known that the capital would change so drastically in just one night.
The capital was under martial law, and no one except the two guards, one division, and the soldiers of the Prince of Zhan's palace could walk on the streets. Anyone walking on the streets would be treated as a traitor.
Each government office in the capital was trying to gather information about the capital using their own abilities.
At the Princess's residence, the Princess, who had been waiting for news, had also stayed up all night. She opened the window and looked at the blazing fire in Wenqingfang. The gilded makeup at the corners of her eyes had come off a little, making her look less sharp and more embarrassed.
"Trash! They're all trash!"
None of the people sent out by the princess have returned at this moment, and even the news from outside has not come back. If it were not for the news sent back from the Jingji Guard, the princess's mansion would be in the dark at this moment.
The fire at Wenqingfang looked like they were not holding back. I wondered if Zong Kui would really die in Dongchu.
No!
The eldest princess has put a lot of effort into Nanqing and she absolutely cannot give up just like that.
The secret room in Baihua Tower was already filled with smoke.
Zong Kui had already held his breath.
The same is true for Ji Xue's mother.
"This breath-holding method can't last too long, unless you use the Turtle Breathing Technique." Zong Kui's face looked very ugly and pale enough. Besides being injured, he also had to be wary of the person in front of him.
"The turtle breathing method is not feasible. The smoke is poisonous. If you really use turtle breathing, you will die!" Ji Xue's mother couldn't help but sneer.
"So, you are not going to reveal your cards yet?" Zong Kui tossed the blood jar in his hand lightly as a threat.
"No trump card." Ji Xue's mother shook her head.
The blood in the blood jar swayed slightly, and Su Jixue seemed to be riding a boat through the waves, but her fingers tapping on the inner wall of the jar sounded like a simple percussion music.
I've gotten used to staying here for a while.
"Oh, maybe others will believe that." Zong Kui raised the corner of his lips slightly, and upon closer inspection, he was somewhat similar to Ji Xue. "But you have always been cautious. You are most afraid of your identity being exposed, and you always have three burrows. There is no way that Hongxiuzhao and Baihualou are the only two places in Wenqingfang."
Su Jixue paused.
He is most afraid of his identity being exposed, so his status must be quite high.
In this world, a woman's status is not low, often because of her parents' family or her husband's family.
But no matter which reason it was, it seemed to represent only one thing, that is, Ji Xue was definitely not a pure-blooded elf.
Su Jixue once thought that the clan leader valued her because of her pure blood.
But now, if her mother had any identity, she would definitely not be a pureblood.
The non-elven pure blood is better than the elves.
One of Ji Xue's parents would definitely not be an ordinary person from the spirit race.
It seems that Su Jixue hasn't read enough information about the spirit race.
The secret room in the War King’s study must be obtained.
Su Jixue thought about all the powerful families in the capital of Dongchu one by one in her mind, guessing who her mother might be.
But no matter who it is, at this age and with some status, she should be the mistress of a mansion, or an old lady.
But what kind of good old lady could disappear overnight without fear of suspicion?
Suddenly, Su Jixue had an idea.
Madam Su from the Prime Minister's Mansion often worships Buddha at Zhuangzi, and—
The secrets of Dongchu exploded in Su Jixue's mind, making her dizzy.
Mrs. Su from the Dongchu Prime Minister's Mansion started worshipping Buddha after her little daughter was lost at the age of two. From then on, she practiced silent Zen and lived in seclusion in Zhuangzi, only to pray for blessings for her lost little girl.
Su Jixue never remembered the year his daughter went missing, but the approximate time was somewhat consistent with Ji Xue's age.
Could it be that Madam Su...
It's her mother?!
So, judging from what Ji Xue's mother said just now, if Ji Xue's mother is really Madam Su, and considering the current relationship between Zong Kui and Ji Xue's mother, then the so-called lost daughter...
Was he sent to the Great Desolate Mountain by Old Madam Su herself? !
Did Old Madam Su become the epitome of a loving mother who deeply loves her daughter in Beijing?!
And Su Jixue has now become the granddaughter of the Su family, or a fake granddaughter.
If this is the case, what an absurd fate!
"Regent, it's really hard for me not to want to kill to silence the witness." Ji Xue's mother sneered.
"In order to escape from the spirit race, you used a secret method to restore the power of the spirit race. If you didn't have Ji Xue's heart, you would probably just be an ordinary person." Zong Kui said as he lightly tossed the blood jar in his hand again, intending to threaten.
"You've already spent so much time trying to help your daughter accumulate the power of the spirit race. If something happens to her heart now, will she die of anger?"
Amidst the thick smoke, Zong Kui placed one hand on the blood jar, rubbing the mouth of the jar: "I may die, but I will never get your heart."
"Does the Regent think that what you have in your hand is too important?" In the smoke, Ji Xue's mother's eyes exposed outside the veil had been smoked red, and she looked full of murderous intent.
"Is it me or you who matters? We both know the difference." Zong Kui's smile was sinister and cold. "You should know that my clan's research on the spirit race is not just theoretical. I don't even need to destroy it. Without Ji Xue's blood to soak it, this heart is a dead object and cannot help you restore the spirit race bloodline."
"I heard that you even prepared the magic circle furnace. It took a lot of effort."
"Are you really willing to do this?!"
"If you don't help me escape now, you and I will have no chance!"
