The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 260 Dreamland
Lanzhi knelt on one knee on the grass outside the formation, her fingertips stroking the cold jade pendant on the long whip. It was the beginning of the Yin hour, and the master should be ready to respond at Longshouyuan. She looked at the blood mist filled formation center, and suddenly felt a sore back of her teeth - the black-clothed man named Boyi actually survived three incense sticks in the death gate formation hub.

"What a good dog." She sneered and wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. Lanzhi turned her gaze to the formation in front of her.

Since she started rehearsing the formation, Bo Yi was the first person who could last so long in the eye of the death formation.

Unfortunately, anyone who stands in the way of her and her master’s plan must die.

Thinking of her master's ambitions, Lanzhi's eyes brightened a little, and the pain in her body was relieved a lot.

Suddenly, a scream broke through the night, and the originally tight formation collapsed like boiling water on snow. Lanzhi stood up suddenly and saw the blood-soaked figure stepping out from the sea of ​​blood and corpses. The black robe was soaked into dark red, and the corners of the black robe were still dripping with blood.

Bo Yi's hair was disheveled, and his black clothes were covered with knife marks, but he looked like a ghost. He swung the knife and killed without blinking, and in the blink of an eye he had killed more than a dozen people.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" The men in black surrounded her and hurriedly retreated. Lanzhi stumbled and bumped into the back of a dead soldier. Through the gap between the people, she saw Boyi wielding his sword to split the last barrier. Where the blade passed, blood beads formed a red necklace under the moonlight, all sprinkled on Yu Qiansi's crimson hem.

"This is impossible. How would they know how to break the formation?"

Through the man in black, she saw Bo Yi running desperately towards the woman in red who was lying on the ground.

Yu Qiansi raised his head and met her eyes.

"It's you!" Lanzhi glared at him. Yu Qiansi smiled at her with his bloody chin. There were bloodstains at the corners of his eyes, which were even more eerie than the ghost fire in the formation.

Lanzhi thought of everything that happened in the imperial mausoleum, and her master's instructions before he left: "Don't use these half-baked things to test Yu Qiansi."

Did the master already know that she would be able to break the formation?

She said to herself angrily, as if questioning, "Who on earth are you!"

Looking at Yu Qiansi's smiling face, Lanzhi remembered her master's praise for Yu Qiansi and became angry. She took out a crossbow from the black-clothed man who had just been killed and aimed it at Boyi, who was swinging his sword and gradually approaching Yu Qiansi.

His finger had been hooked on the mechanism, and with just the slightest movement, Bo Yi would be dead instantly.

But when she met Bo Yi's fearless black eyes, she hesitated for a moment, then aimed the crossbow at Yu Qiansi.

Sure enough, Bo Yi, who used neither fast nor slow moves and killed with every blow, had lost his previous stability.

Lanzhi curled the corners of her lips and loosened the mechanism in her hand.

The crossbow arrow left a blue afterimage as it broke through the air, and Bo Yi really rushed towards the cold light like a moth to a flame. As the arrowhead pierced through the leg bone with a dull sound, Yu Qiansi's smile froze at the corner of her lips.

"Boyi!" She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she suddenly propped herself up and caught him as he staggered towards her.

"How boring." Lanzhi looked at the two figures falling together and suddenly remembered the butterfly wings she crushed when she was young.

The two knelt in a pool of blood, their red and black robes tangled together, and it was hard to tell whose blood had stained whose clothes. Bo Yi's breath fell on her ears, the warmth gradually dissipated, as weak as the last bit of charcoal fire that was about to go out on a winter night.

She held his back tightly, her fingertips almost digging into his flesh, as if this could retain the fading warmth. But he became heavier and heavier, as if something was silently slipping away from between her fingers - the harder she pressed, the more he fell, like sand that could not be grasped, like wind that could not be caught.

Suddenly, a strange feeling of suffocation surged in her heart, as if she was pushed into deep water, unable to breathe, but unable to shout. She tightened her arms in confusion, not even realizing that her fingertips were shaking.

Lanzhi looked at the couple coldly, a hint of sneer on her lips: "Take Yu Qiansi away."

Before he finished speaking, a red flame suddenly rose from the forest, staining the sky like blood, and illuminating the entire dense forest scarlet.

——It was Chi Ling Xin Yan from the Ministry of Justice. It seemed that Master’s men had failed to stop Wu Ya Wei, so they came here.

It seems that the troops deployed by the master were unable to stop Wuyawei after all. The group of men in black looked at the flames rising to the sky, and remembered Bo Yi's method just now, and couldn't help but hesitate. Lanzhi pushed away the assassins in front of her, and was about to take action herself, but the wound under her ribs was affected, and blood immediately soaked through her white gauze inner garment.

"Useless thing!" She gritted her teeth and scolded, with anger surging in her eyes.

Just as the red flames were about to go out, three arrow whistles suddenly came from the depths of the forest, like the cry of a jackdaw in the night, piercing the air with its sharp sound.

Lanzhi stopped suddenly - this was a hidden order to retreat.

"Master, if you delay any longer, something unexpected might happen." The man in black beside him reminded in a low voice.

"Master, if you delay any longer, something unexpected might happen." The man in black beside him reminded in a low voice.

She looked back at Yu Qiansi and saw that although the woman was dying, her eyes were still as sharp as a quenched blade, blazing and intimidating. Lanzhi sneered, brushed her sleeves and turned around, her robe fluttering in the night wind. When she passed by the unconscious Lanshu, she didn't even glance at him, but just stepped on the broken branches and left.

Yu Qiansi stared at the disappearing figure until Yaoguang's shouting came closer, and then she let out a sigh of relief. The world was spinning in front of her eyes, and she finally fell into the endless darkness.

"Xiaozhi, is what she said true? At that time, only the clan leader was still alive..."

"The late emperor did not die of a serious illness, but of excessive blood loss."

"You shouldn't have the last name Yu"

"Yu Linyi killed my master and left me homeless. Yu Qiansi, why do you think I will help you?"

"The blood poison in Southern Xinjiang, the mother and child depend on each other for three months, the pain is unbearable."

"I need Master Yu to help me find someone who can deduce the universe."

In the chaos, countless voices intertwined, seemingly far and near. Countless familiar and unfamiliar faces overlapped, disturbing her peace. She wanted them to stop arguing, but for some reason she couldn't say anything.

She always felt like she had forgotten something very important, but she couldn't remember it.

"Yu Qiansi!"

Suddenly, a clear shout broke through the fog. She turned around abruptly and saw that the man's brows were slightly frowned. Although he looked angry, he still leaned over and sniffed the cotton thread wrapped around her fingertips.

"Master Yu, you are wrong." He raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a hint of cynicism on his eyebrows, "I just like to enjoy the breeze on the roof. Today is a festival, and the capital is bustling everywhere, but Pingkangfang is quiet and peaceful at this moment, so I chose this place."

His eyes were filled with rage: "You are obviously not very skilled in martial arts, but you chase after an expert without caring about anything!"

"Aru.Aru"

The gentle call seemed to come from the sky, and she finally remembered who he was, but the figure disappeared like quicksand.

"Bo Yi!"

Yu Qiansi suddenly opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar green gauze tent ceiling.
