Chapter 714: Half a Dead Wood (Part 1)

"Father-in-law's body is missing?" Ye Xing's face changed.

"Leaf ...... Brother-in-law Ye Xing, I'm ...... I don't suspect that you are hiding the body of your father. The little emperor Dongfang Shaotian hurriedly explained: "You and the imperial sister are willing to move the body of your father to the imperial mausoleum, and you will definitely not hide it and lie to me." I think it should have been stolen by some Jiangyang thief, but I didn't protect it effectively, and I have already ordered someone to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

The tombs of Emperor Donghua and the Lord of Youyue Palace were originally in Baiyun City, when Mengxue had just lost her parents, Ye Xing was afraid that Mengxue would be too sad, so he buried the bodies of his father-in-law and mother-in-law on the Black Wind Ridge in Baiyun City, so that his wife could come over to worship and relieve her emotions.

However, Emperor Donghua and the Lord of the Youyue Palace, although they are Mengxue's parents, they are also the leaders of the two major forces. The successive palace masters of the Cold Moon Palace have always been buried in Tianxue Mountain, and the Donghua Emperor is the emperor of the Donghua Dynasty, and the emperors of the past dynasties are naturally buried in the Donghua Imperial Mausoleum. Tianxue Mountain and the Donghua Dynasty had also sent people to discuss this matter before, but they were both rejected by Ye Xing. The two major forces didn't dare to rush too hard, after all, the three families were married, and once they were not dealt with, it would be bad to have a knot in their hearts. And this matter itself is also relatively sensitive, after all, although Emperor Donghua and the Lord of the Moon Palace are the leaders of the two major forces, they are also Mengxue's biological parents, if Ye Xing and Mengxue insist on burying the Emperor of Donghua and the Lord of the Moon Palace in Baiyun City, it is also morally justifiable.

However, considering the pressure faced by the Lord of the Mingyue Palace and the Little Emperor Dongfang Shaotian, especially the Donghua Dynasty, the Little Emperor has just ascended the throne, and the dynasty has not yet stabilized, and a group of old ministers inside must be agitating to move the emperor's coffin into the imperial tomb.

Ye Xing only delayed the time in the end, waiting for Meng Xue to recover from the pain of losing her parents. Ye Xing discussed with his wife, and for the sake of the harmony of the three families, he agreed to move the coffin of the main coffin of Youyue Palace to Tianxue Mountain, and the coffin of Emperor Donghua to the Mausoleum of Emperor Donghua.

The little emperor Dongfang Shaotian was obviously wrong, he was afraid that Ye Xing would think that he suspected Ye Xing of deliberately hiding the body of Emperor Donghua, and when he handed it over, he just took an empty coffin to deal with the Donghua Dynasty. Dongfang Shaotian naturally didn't think that Ye Xing would do such a thing, but he was worried that Ye Xing would think too much. It's not right to say, it's not right not to say it, so hesitant and very entangled.

"What the hell is going on, tell me more about it!" Ye Xing said in a deep voice.

"When I was migrating, a man accidentally broke open the coffin when he was moving, and then found that the coffin was empty, and the body of his father was not in it at all. Dongfang Shaotian, the little emperor of Donghua, said: "Fortunately, I immediately ordered to block the news at that time, and ordered someone to secretly investigate who stole the body of my father, so not many people know, otherwise once the news comes, I don't know how those ministers will make trouble." ”

"It's just that the secret guard has been inquiring for a long time, but they have never found the thief, and this matter has been in my heart for a long time. Dongfang Shaotian, the little emperor of Donghua, said: "Originally, I have been struggling with whether to say it or not, so I have never sent anyone to Baiyun City to inform me. Now that Ye Xing's brother-in-law has come to the Yun'an Dynasty, after thinking about it, I feel that I still have to speak out and discuss it with you!"

"The emperor's coffin is actually empty!" Ye Xing's eyebrows tightened, "There are two possibilities, one is that, as you said, it was stolen when Donghua migrated to the imperial tomb, and the other is that the emperor's body was stolen when I was in Baiyun City!"

Thinking of the second possibility, Ye Xing suddenly felt a cold current in his heart, and he had a creepy feeling. Because on the side of the mausoleum in Baiyun City, Ye Xing installed monitoring, not only sent masters to guard that side, but also monitored equipment to guard that side in an all-round way 24 hours a day. If someone really stole the emperor's body, no matter how fast it was, it would be impossible to leave no trace in the surveillance video. If that's the case, then that kind of means is too unpredictable.

"I really can't understand why the thieves stole my father's body, it's not a treasure, and other people are of no use. Could it be that the thieves are trying to blackmail us with this?" Dongfang Shaotian, the little emperor of Donghua, frowned and pondered, and said, "Oh, by the way, the coffin is not completely empty, we also found this half of dead wood in the coffin!"

"Half a dead wood?" Ye Xing's eyes moved, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, take it out and show me!"

"Well, okay!" Dongfang Shaotian, the little emperor of Donghua, immediately untied the Qiankun bag on his waist, opened it, and took out a small half of the wood from it.

Deadwood, which is the size of half a finger, was supposed to be green wood, but it has lost all its life, and the bark is a little yellow.

Ye Xing solemnly took the small half of the dead wood with both hands, and looked at it carefully.

After observing for a long time, Ye Xing's brows couldn't help frowning, feeling that this was half of a very ordinary wood, the kind that would break when pinched, and there was nothing special about it.

"Brother-in-law Ye Xing, could it be that the people of Western Zhou and Nanming stole the body of their father and wanted to blackmail us!" Dongfang Shaotian, the little emperor of Donghua, guessed.

"It shouldn't be them!" Ye Xing shook his head and muttered, "They don't have that ability!"

"That's it, your side will order someone to investigate thoroughly, and I will also let Baiyun City step up the investigation, don't let go of any clues!" Ye Xing said in a deep voice: "I will go to Tianxue Mountain immediately tomorrow!"

It is not difficult to figure out whether the body of the Donghua Emperor was really lost in the Donghua Dynasty or in the White Cloud City of the Black Wind Ridge. You only need to go to Tianxue Mountain to see if the coffin of the Moon Palace Lord is empty. Since the thieves stole the body of Emperor Donghua, the body of the Lord of the Moon Palace who was buried with Emperor Donghua may not be spared. If the body of the Lord of the Moon Palace is still there, then it means that the body of the Emperor of Donghua was stolen during the migration of the Donghua Dynasty. And if the coffin of the Lord of the Dark Moon Palace is empty, then it means that the bodies of the two were stolen under the twenty-four-hour surveillance of Baiyun City.

The other party's methods were simply too unpredictable, and what the other party's intentions were, all of this was unknown, Ye Xing's face was extremely solemn.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Ye Xing left the Yun'an Dynasty, rode on the back of the little purple eagle, and flew rapidly in the direction of the northern Tianxue Mountain.

The sky is thousands of miles, and the wind is roaring.

The Donghua Dynasty has sent a large army to begin to clear the Western Zhou and Southern Ming rebellions in the territory, and along the way you can see that many of the rebel armies in the city are being cleared and purged, and the chaotic times are calming, and the Donghua Dynasty is gradually having peace and prosperity.

Jumping over the mountains and rivers, the cities below gradually shrunk into small black dots and quickly into the distance.

The little purple eagle was extremely fast, spread its wings and soared, and its wings shook into a purple lightning, carrying Ye Xing and quickly disappeared into the northern sky.
