58. The smell of blood

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and a general said: "Desolate Clan, didn't Desolate Clan make a covenant with us?"

"When did Rong Cheng casually come in and out, isn't it another Azari?" Yan Li laughed.

Ji Paper Kite was also looking at Zhang Zhidong.

"It's unbelievable that the old man knows about this," Zhang Zhidong said lightly, "But what the truth is, you can know it by looking at the corpse." - Someone, go and bring Ye Qing's corpse up. ”

After a while, someone walked in with a large mahogany coffin without a lid, stopped in the aisle and put it down, and then retreated.

Zhang Zhidong seemed a little unbearable, and sighed: "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”

Ji Paper Kite walked over and frowned.

Ma Guanshan also walked over, looking at the corpse in the coffin, his face turned pale.

Yan Li and Lian Hai Changjin also came over, and it wasn't until they saw the corpse that they found out that Ye Qing was really dead.

Yan Li's first reaction was that if Tang Sanghua knew, I was afraid that someone would suffer. His worries are not unreasonable, Ye Qing is the daughter of Senior Sister Tang Sanghua, and Tang Sanghua's feelings for her Senior Sister are the same as her mother, and she always has a sacred status in her heart.

Ye Qing is dead, no matter who dies at the hands of anyone, if Tang Sanghua knows, she will inevitably go berserk.

When Ye Qing really died in front of her, Yan Li suddenly felt a kind of anger, a girl who was so unfortunate, but strong to live for herself, died so bizarre and abruptly.

She died peacefully, but no one could decipher her expression before she died, although she knew that there must be something to express in her expression.

The wound was in the pharynx, and it looked like a sharp blade had slashed through her throat.

"The Assassin uses the palm of his flesh, but it is comparable to the blade of a knife. Zhang Zhidong said softly, "The old man has checked it, and the flesh near the wound has been destroyed by a devastating energy, and if it wasn't hidden in the ice cellar, it would have already rotted out of shape." ”

After Shen Liuyun inspected the corpse, her face was strange and sad, she was not a very emotional person, and she didn't often show emotions on her face, but now there were two expressions on her face at the same time.

"It's courage. "Only courage can destroy the internal tissues of the body to this extent." ”

No one doubted her words, because she was Shen Liuyun, and even Yan Li could only choose to believe it.

Ji Paper Kite turned to Zhang Zhidong and said, "When did the assassination happen?"

Zhang Zhidong said: "Seven days ago. ”

It happened to be the day of the Fire Worship Festival.

A general said: "At that time, at the beginning of the Fire Worship Festival, there were desolate assassins who assassinated the marshal, obviously planning for a long time, but after that, the whole city searched and hunted, and no trace of the desolate assassins was found. ”

Ji Paper Kite said angrily: "Search, continue to search for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to give her justice!"

"Wow. "The hall should be uproared.

"Teacher......" Ma Guanshan said to Zhang Zhidong with a face full of shame, "Student......"

"So you suspect the teacher!" Dai Shaobao walked up, his eyes were red, and he clenched Ma Guanshan's chest, "If it weren't for the teacher, you wouldn't know where to drink horse urine now, you ungrateful boy, see if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you to death!"

Qu Zhengping hurriedly came up and grabbed him, and then said to Ma Guanshan with a straight face: "The teacher treats you like a mountain, you shouldn't be like this." ”

"Big brother, why did you stop me and let me kill this kid......" Dai Shaobao said angrily.

"Enough!" Qu Zhengping glared at him, "Still not messy enough?"

Ma Guanshan walked up to Zhang Zhidong and slowly knelt down, not knowing whether it was grief or shame, his eyes were red: "Teacher, I don't know what's wrong with me...... Ye Qing is a poor girl, she lost her mother since she was a child, and she was tortured by her demonic father, she is really pitiful......"

Zhang Zhidong smiled slightly, helped him up with his own hands, patted him on the shoulder, and didn't say anything.

......

The night is as cool as water.

Rongcheng is brightly lit and lively, even if it is a festival, it will never be as lively as today.

Because of Ji Ji's words, the soldiers and civilians of the whole city are cooperating with the arrest of the murderer.

But at this moment, there are three people walking leisurely on the street, turning a blind eye to the soldiers and civilians coming and going.

Yan Li and Shen Liuyun walked in front, and Li Rulong walked a few steps behind. He insisted on following Yan Li, looking like he had been "entrusted for life", and Yan Li couldn't drive him away, so he had to let him follow.

But to be honest, a partial general of the Dragon Descending Legion, and he is still a first-class martial artist, such a master as an entourage, no matter who it is, will feel that he has a lot of face.

"Who is that person? Why are you pestering you? You owe money to others?" Unfortunately, Shen Liuyun didn't think so.

Yan Li rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Do you think I look like I will owe someone money?"

Shen Liuyun looked him up and down for a while, nodded his mantis, and came to a conclusion: "It's not like." ”

Yan Li was relieved: "You really have vision. ”

Shen Liuyun said: "It's really owed." ”

Yan Li almost fell, crying and laughing: "Sir, don't forget, I'm a robber, won't I rob if I want money, what else can I borrow." ”

Shen Liuyun said: "I couldn't help laughing, "Your wish when you were a child was to be a robber, but I didn't expect it to come true." ”

Yan Li sighed and said, "Being a robber is not as good as you imagined. ”

Shen Liuyun said: "Now you know that your conscience will condemn you." ”

Yan Li said expressionlessly: "I used to be hungry alone, and then a group of people followed me to be hungry,

Speaking of the past, Shen Liuyun also sighed and said, "There is no such thing as a world where everyone is happy. ”

Yan Li said: "I didn't complain, but there are some things I have to accomplish. ”

Shen Liuyun said tentatively: "Is it the murderer of your parents?"

Yan Li nodded.

Shen Liuyun said: "I have investigated, back then, someone stole the token of the first emperor and falsely claimed that it was a holy decree, but due to the interference of Shang Shutai, the neighbors did not report the case to the government. ”

"I already know. Yan Lidao.

Regarding revenge, he rarely communicated with Shen Liuyun, who only thought that he was still investigating, but he didn't know that Li Boyong was the only murderer who was currently executing the extermination.

Shen Liuyun said: "I didn't want to persuade you, because if I had suffered this kind of thing, I might not be much better than you." But now I still want to advise you, don't be too obsessed with hatred, you were such a gentle and kind person when you were young, I don't want you to become an executioner who kills people without blinking. ”

She paused and showed a relieved smile, "You have freed all the slaves, not only those who were enslaved by the desolate people, but also Montenegro, in fact, you don't know that there are many people who are grateful to you, but they can't find the opportunity to express their gratitude to you." You see, after all the misfortunes you have suffered, you are still kind-hearted, but you don't want to admit it. I'm so proud of you. ”

At this time, I passed a deserted house, there was a tree in front of the gate, and the aisle in front of the door was full of dead leaves.

When Yan Li saw this scene, he remembered Baifu, and couldn't help but stop and watch, only to see a plaque hanging in the middle of the two old red lanterns on the gate, which read: Huo Mansion.

"Here?"

"General Huo's mansion. Shen Liuyun said, "I have seen it when I came, Marshal Zhang will regularly ask people to come over and sweep, it is quite clean, there may have been frequent battles recently, negligent." ”

Yan Li suddenly whispered: "My family and the Huo family seem to have been destroyed at the same time. ”

Shen Liuyun thought for a while and said, "No, there was a difference of three months, I remember that when the Huo Mansion was destroyed, the first emperor set up a banquet to celebrate the New Year, and then Rongcheng was declared lost." ”

Yan Li said: "Rongcheng was snatched back by Zhang Zhidong?"

Continue to your destination.

"That's right. Shen Liuyun said, "If it weren't for Marshal Zhang, the situation would not be what happened now." So Paper Kite was very grateful to him, because she was only six years old when she ascended the throne, and if it weren't for Marshal Zhang to firmly guard Rongcheng for him, the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty might not have become what it would become. ”

Yan Li's heart moved, and said, "How did Mr. and Zhang Huaibi meet?"

"Brother Zhang and I met when we were six years old. Shen Liuyun pulled the hair of his sideburns, and rarely showed a gentle expression, "He was sixteen years old at the time, and he was already a genius swordsman who was famous in Yongling, and there were countless celebrities and ladies who had a crush on him, and they had to step through the threshold of his family when they mentioned their relatives, but unfortunately he couldn't look down on him." ”

Yan Li said sourly: "I just like you." ”

Shen Liuyun glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about, I couldn't speak clearly at that time." ”

Yan Li sighed and said, "Some people can't forget it for the rest of their lives as long as they see each other." When I see him looking at others, he is as sharp as a sword, but as soon as he turns to you, he immediately reveals tenderness......"

A red cloud flew up on Shen Liuyun's pretty face, fleeting, and said casually: "Is it just like you and the paper kite?"

"Me with her?" Yan Li hesitated, "I'm not suitable for her." ”

"Why isn't it suitable?" Shen Liuyun said, "I think she's really good to you." You were captured by Don Jr., and she was the first to rush out to save you. I haven't seen her care so much about any young talent. ”

Yan stinged slightly, and muttered, "I can't forgive her gentle ......"

"What?" Shen Liuyun didn't hear clearly.

Yan Li shook his head: "It's nothing. ”

At this time, I came to Zhang's house.

Zhang Huaibi is now the head of the Zhang family, and of course he lives in Zhang's mansion.

The subordinates of Zhang's Mansion all knew Shen Liuyun, so they went all the way to the courtyard where Zhang Huaibi lived. The small courtyard where he was located was very quiet, and in normal times, no one dared to go in and disturb him.

"Please also ask the general to stay. Shen Liuyun turned to Li Rulong and said, "Brother Shi doesn't like to be disturbed. ”

Li Rulong expressed his understanding and said, "I'll wait for Lord Engong outside, please take care of me." ”

And the two entered.

As Yan Li walked, he suddenly felt an unusual silence, his keen sense of smell had already sniffed a special smell, and his brows were unconsciously raised.

"What?" Shen Liuyun asked.

"The smell of blood. Yan Lidao.

Through the doorway, I saw a man sitting in the gazebo with his back to them.

"Brother Shi. Shen Liuyun called out from afar.

Yan Li's eyes narrowed slightly, the source of the smell of blood actually came from the man.

If I am not mistaken, this man is, of course, Zhang Huaibi.

"Brother Shi. Shen Liuyun's face had changed slightly, he walked into the pavilion quickly, turned to Zhang Huaibi's front and looked, and suddenly seemed to be the sky and the earth cracked, and he exclaimed sadly, "Brother Shi!"

Yan Li walked over to take a look, only to see that there was a hole in Zhang Huaibi's pharynx, the blood had coagulated, and he had been dead of anger for a long time.

And this hole is exactly the same as the one on Ye Qing's neck.

PS: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone.
