Chapter 040: Midnight Terror

Before the beginning of winter, Chang'an City had its first snowfall.

It snowed all night, and when I got up in the morning, the ground was covered with a layer of snow.

Today is the day of King Jin's burial, the sound of suona passing through the street is deafening, the funeral procession carries the coffin with white snow and slowly walks through the main street of Chang'an, and the mourners are dressed in white, crying miserably.

The snow made the already sad atmosphere even more poignant.

Shen Qingyu was standing in the crowd on the side in white, seeing the coffin carrying in front of her, she trembled and pinched her palms tightly, letting the hot tears fall silently.

Jin'er, my mother is very poor all her life, and she will definitely avenge you.

After returning home to greet Mrs. Mo, she went back to her courtyard and sat on the chair for a day.

Her body was already bad, and her grief was excessive, so her pale little face became a little sickly.

At noon, the sun shook in the sky, and the snow that had fallen all night gradually melted into water, and at night there was no trace of snow white, only a cold bright moon hanging on the night.

The moonlight is slightly cold, and the breeze rises from time to time, blowing in the face, only to feel cold to the bones.

Green embroidery yawned and glanced at her sitting at the door, and went to her house to rest.

She looked up at the bright moon in a daze, closed her eyes for a moment, and the tears in her eyes fell down the corners of her eyes.

The night was cool, and it was already quieter.

She got up from her chair without sleep, turned around and went to the house to carry a black baggage, and walked eagerly to the backyard.

Chang'an City is silent, only the drunken dream building in the east of the city is still prosperous.

As the eldest son, King Jin was buried in the imperial mausoleum after his death, but King Jin died suddenly, and the mausoleum was only half repaired, so King Jin's coffin could only be temporarily stopped outside the imperial mausoleum.

The mud under her feet couldn't stop her steps, and according to the memories of her previous life, she soon reached the outside of the Great Yan Emperor's Mausoleum.

The people who built the mausoleum were still working overnight.

The agarwood coffin stopped not far away, knowing that her Jin'er was lying there, but she couldn't take a step forward.

She squatted in the direction of the coffin, took out some incense candles and white paper from the black baggage, took the fire fold and set the incense candles and white paper on fire.

The light of the fire reflected her bloodless face, and tears full of pain fell one by one into the burning fire.

The heart is like a knife, life is better than death, it's just that.........

Raising her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a few ghost-like figures shuttling in the deep forest, she stared at her eyes slightly, her heart was shocked, and she hurriedly picked up the stones on the side to extinguish the fire.

The black shadow shuttled very fast, and in a moment it stopped in front of the coffin, and one of the men in black carried a corpse on his back.

What are these men in black going to do? She stared slightly, anxious in her heart, that was Jin'er's corpse!

The three black-clothed men glanced at each other and opened the coffin, and the three of them first dragged King Jin out who was lying in the coffin, and then threw the body they carried into the coffin.

No, they can't be allowed to take Jin'er's body away, she was in a hurry, and without thinking, she picked up a stone and threw it along the entrance of the mausoleum.

The sharp eyes of the three black-clothed men swept towards the opposite forest at the same time, obviously they had already noticed that there were people in the opposite forest, Shen Qingyu clung to the tree in fear, closed his eyes for a moment, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

I knew that this man in black was so alert and calm, she shouldn't have startled the snake, she was simply stupid.

"There are people in the woods opposite. The man in black at the head narrowed his eyes dangerously.

The person who saw the mausoleum was about to come out when he heard the movement, and the other two looked at each other.

"You go first, I'll take a look. ”

The black-clothed man who was the leader and the black-clothed man who was holding King Jin's body bowed slightly, and then rushed into the deep forest.

Taking advantage of this gap, Shen Qingyu had already run down the mountain half-hiding and half-hiding.

Because the snow turned into water, the way down the mountain was inevitably slippery, she looked behind her while running, and if she didn't pay attention, she stepped on a talc, and the whole person fell down.

She glared and covered her mouth tightly, her brows locked together, in pain, in pain......

Looking around, he realized that he had slipped and rolled into a puddle of water, which was supposed to be a trap for hunters to hunt, and because of the snow on the mountain, all the water had been left in it.

Squeak –

It was the sound of a tree branch being trampled on.

She stared at her in shock, hurriedly squatted down, pinched her nose, and dived into the water.

The man in black who was chasing him swept around, but except for the breeze blowing the leaves, he couldn't see half a figure.

Turning around to look at the puddle that was so calm that there was not a trace of waves, the man in black squinted, and jumped into the puddle.

Shen Qingyu was close to the pit wall, his heart almost rose to his throat, and the man in black was also cautious, reaching out and touching it in the water.

She opened her eyes with difficulty underwater, carefully avoiding the hand of the man in black, fortunately the puddle was hooked, and the man in black only touched it casually.

In her blurred vision, she saw a black thing tattooed on the wrist of the man in black, and when she tried to see it, the man in black actually came out of the puddle.

After noticing that the man in black was leaving, Shen Qingyu stretched his head out of the puddle and leaned against the pit wall like a limp as if he were panting heavily.

She looked up at the crescent moon in the night with her blurred vision, and her thoughts were like a tide in her heart, who sent those men in black? What did they do stealing Jin'er's body? What was hidden in this?

After a long pause, she got up from the puddle and quickly descended the mountain by the already dim moonlight.

Yunyan Pavilion was still the same as when she left, and a candle burned in the room, barely illuminating everything in the room.

Now that it is approaching the beginning of winter, the mountain wind that has been blowing for a long time in this soaked clothes, she only feels cold to the bone, and has just taken dry clothes and changed them.

For a moment, I don't know if there was a strong wind outside, and the hidden door slammed open.

She was startled by this movement, and subconsciously clutched the hosta, she sat on the bed and looked out the door cautiously, but only listened to the rustle of the unfallen leaves outside the house by the wind.

It was a false alarm, she closed her eyes pale for a moment, her tense body slowly relaxed, and she put the hosta on the bed.

She put on her shoes and got off the bed, walked to the door and looked, now the night is less bright and moonless, and the darkness makes people feel frightened, and she glanced at the empty yard, and she closed the door with her hands.

She was only halfway through when the door slammed open again, hell...... She cursed secretly, but when she turned around, she saw a terrifying scene.

Her pupils shrank, her breath suffocated, and her eyes were full of surprise.

It was the man with the ghost-faced fangs in the broken temple last time, how could he find here? Could it be that he had just sent the three men in black? Now he came here, he came to kill people?

No...... It's impossible, if she had been discovered a long time ago, with this man's decisive momentum, he would have solved her halfway, so why wait for her to arrive at Mofu before he did it?

So the man with the ghost-faced fangs and the three men in black are two people.

But why did this man come to her? Could it be that he regretted it after letting her go in the broken temple last time?

She stared at him and swallowed, her body involuntarily stepping back.

It was easy for this man to kill her............
