Chapter 19: The Lamb Strikes Back
Tao Ziyuan glanced at Chen Yan at the door, didn't say anything, just silently put on his coat, and walked towards the room next to Chen Yan.
It's just that some hurried steps still reveal the panic in her heart.
Her fear of death was still insurmountable, and it was a gift from that sea of fire.
The silver threads on the chest of the neat black brocade robe shone brightly in the candlelight, and more than a dozen people stood inside and outside the room, stopping Tao Zikite who wanted to enter the door.
"Let her in. Chen Yan said.
The handle of the bright blade was put away, and Tao Ziyuan was able to see the corpse lying on the ground, but he couldn't help but feel nervous, and he felt dizzy in front of him, and he walked slowly over with the door frame next to him.
Bright red petals bloomed beneath her, and warm blood still flowed from her neck, and she looked at herself with wide eyes as if she wanted to say something to herself, but there was no chance.
She doesn't have much affection for herself, but she was sent by Chen Yan yesterday to the person who is responsible for taking care of herself along the way. Without any background, he has been sold around since he was a child. The only reason why such a poor and weak girl died was that she entered the Storm Pavilion and came to her side.
The breathing has returned to normal, but the hand under the sleeve is trembling, Tao Ziyuan regrets such a flower-like life, and at the same time, he is also wondering, who the murderer is.
The trembling hand touched the girl's forehead, and she still preferred to do it herself rather than rely on those unreliable officials.
"Lost night, by the sea, god of death, please give me direction. ”
He whispered a mantra and closed his eyes, praying for strength with great sincerity in his heart.
To the eyes of others, she seemed to be saying something to the deceased, but at this moment, she saw the ugly face of the man who picked up the sword and hurriedly took the woman's life.
One is not unfamiliar.
It turned out to be him.
Tao Ziyuan stretched out her hand and closed her eyes for her, and said softly, "It's okay to be liberated, and I will be a master in the next life." ”
The moment she turned around, she saw Chen Yan's searching gaze, and the excitement in her eyes seemed to have found something.
She knew that what she did couldn't hide from this person, Chen Yan, an extremely mysterious person, even if most of the unknowns seemed to be hidden behind the position of Du Wei, but Tao Ziyuan felt that this person had more secrets.
She didn't think about hiding it from Chen Yan, and she also understood that Chen Yan would not agree to move a guard of the Storm Pavilion because of a maid.
However, she is not in a hurry.
She is a person who has a favor and will repay it,
She has time, whether it is a provocation within the Storm Pavilion or an unintentional mistake by others, when they meet, she will let that person go to another world to apologize to the girl.
"Lord Du Wei is here, and he will definitely bring the murderer of Sister Xiaoyi to justice, right?"
Tao Ziyuan asked, but she didn't expect anything from it in her heart, because they were all people who knew the truth.
Whether it was deliberate ridicule or ridicule, she always wanted this, as if she could show the resentment in her heart, so that he could feel the innocence and accusation of the dead.
But everything was so pale, like the blade hidden in the scabbard, even if it didn't have time to wipe the blood off it, no one would expose it.
She suddenly felt that the night was so cold, even if she hid in the room and curled up in the quilt, she still felt cold all over her body.
————
At dawn, Chen Yan woke himself up, and when he passed the room next to him, Tao Ziyuan glanced in and had already cleaned it.
"In the middle of the night, the government came and had already checked the scene, this is always an inn, and it can't disturb people's business, so they cleaned it up. ”
Chen Yan explained behind him.
As soon as he went downstairs and saw two guards coming towards him, Tao Ziyuan suddenly stopped and said to Chen Yan beside him,
"Why did Lord Lieutenant explain to me, it is clear that those who kill people always have to pay for their lives, even if they clean up the traces, they will always find the wrong things they have done. ”
I don't know if it was an accident or a coincidence, the guard who was about to go upstairs actually stepped on a flight of stairs, but fortunately, the person next to him helped him, but he was still inevitably nagged.
Tao Ziyuan watched the empty guard go up to the second floor, and the next moment Chen Yan blocked in front of him, and said coldly,
"Tao Zikite, you are not the captain of the Storm Pavilion yet, don't be too presumptuous. ”
Tao Zikite, who had always been silent and docile, suddenly opened his claws like a lion and fought back,
"If I offend Lord Duwei in any of my words, I hope that Lord Du will forgive me, but it is just a presumptuous word, compared with some people who will be shielded for murder, Tao Ziyuan is really ashamed. ”
After saying that, Tao Ziyuan turned around and left, no matter what Chen Yan's expression was, and walked straight to the carriage outside.
As everyone knows, when I just left, the inn was already as lively as the sky.
"Oh my God, did she talk back to Lord Captain just now?" the guard armor who witnessed Fang Cai's scene was shocked.
Hu Wei Yi swallowed nervously, and then sighed with some envy,
"It's not just talking back, it's a fair counterattack. ”
The guard armor immediately shuddered, and felt shuddered, he had been in the Fengbo Pavilion for so long, and he had not seen anyone in the Manchu Dynasty who dared to argue with Lord Duwei, except for the third lady of the Shangshu Mansion family and His Majesty the Emperor who had been passed on before.
Under this kind of mentality of Lord Duwei's second place in the court, the people of the Fengbo Pavilion naturally raised their eyebrows, but they also strengthened the idea that the authority of Lord Duwei could not be challenged.
I didn't expect that just now, such a newcomer had such a big courage, and the adult who said it was embarrassed, and he was so angry that he directly crushed the handrail of the stairs......
“...... I hope she can return to Yandu alive. The guard muttered in a daze.
————
The guards packed up the luggage they had taken last night, and the group quickly hit the road, but I don't know if it was their delusion, the atmosphere was very wrong.
But everyone knows a little bit about it, and they try not to touch the mold.
The rest of Imperial Physician Xu was confused from the beginning of going out, Chen Yan's face was almost embarrassed to freezing point, and even the always docile Tao Zikite was angry, what was going on with this serious atmosphere?
But fortunately, the carriage stopped soon, and Imperial Doctor Xu thought that he had arrived at the barracks, but as soon as he lifted the curtain, he was startled by the scene in front of him.
Looking at Imperial Doctor Xu, who was almost stunned in place for a long time without moving, Tao Ziyuan also lifted the wind curtain on the side, and everything in front of him made people unbelievable.
Almost as tall as a tree, the sturdy green-haired monsters stood around, their eyes closed as if they were asleep, but it was impossible to ignore their presence.
"W-what is this?"
Imperial Physician Xu was surprised, and the nine monsters formed a circle, and the position where they were entering seemed to be in a dilemma.
