The backyard has become a Shura field. There were scattered stumps and broken flesh all around, and the plants and trees were stained red with blood. The housekeeper reported to Duan Ling in a low voice: "...... After you left the house, the servants came. Master Xiao took him into the house and said that he wanted to check the cause of Uncle Tong's death. Unexpectedly, only half an hour later, the guards heard a scream! Everyone thought it was strange and wanted to take a look, but they saw the door of the house being slammed! Then ......" The housekeeper glanced at Duan Ling: "Then Uncle Tong took the sword and killed it." ”

Duan Ling's face was gloomy. The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued: "Everyone was stunned when they saw Uncle Tong come back from the dead, and when they were unprepared, four people died under his sword. Fortunately, the house was well guarded for the marriage, and after seeing the alarm, he came to help, so he was killed. ”

There were many straw mats in one corner of the courtyard, and when Duan Ling walked closer, someone lifted the straw mat to show him. His gaze fell on a man who had been cut into seven or eight pieces. This is Lord Xiao in the housekeeper's mouth, and he is also his confidant who brought Tong Gao's body back to the house yesterday. This person's martial arts are actually on par with Tong Gao, but when the corpse suddenly strikes, no one will be defenseless. Thinking about it, if Lan Zhi hadn't made his father angry yesterday, he wouldn't have temporarily changed his mind and let this henchman investigate on his behalf. Otherwise...... I'm afraid that now, the person lying here is him.

Duan Ling finally spoke: "What about Tong Gao? ”

The butler walked over to a straw mat at the end of the courtyard and lifted it: "Here." Just ......"

Duan Ling looked at it and saw only a bunch of stumps. The housekeeper has always been calm, and he can't help but be a little afraid at this time: "It's just that Uncle Tong seems to be a little ......" He hesitated to phrase: "It's a little unusual." The guards cut off his head, but he continued to kill. I really couldn't, so I ordered him to be chopped up to scum. ”

Duan Ling retracted his gaze and turned to walk towards the courtyard gate: "He is naturally not an ordinary person, because he is not a living person at all, he is indeed dead." ”

The butler followed in small steps: "Then his corpse ......"

Duan Ling said slowly: "I was manipulated. ”

The butler said in a low voice, "So...... This incident is afraid that it will be another assassination. The lower his voice became: "Kill Uncle Tong, but keep his body, and then deliberately choose the day of the adult's wedding to send him back to the house...... It's so vicious! ”

Duan Ling didn't answer his words, but just ordered: "Someone will drag these corpses away together and find a place to burn them." The backyard is sprinkled with quicklime and is completely locked down from today, and no one is allowed to enter without my permission. ”

The housekeeper solemnly replied and went to make arrangements. Duan Ling stopped at the gate of the courtyard, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked into the distance.

――Good and poisonous design...... It's a pity that it fell short, Si Yang.

However, as soon as Si Yangshi heard the news that Duan Ling was not dead, he did not hesitate to pack his bags and escape from Haotian City at night. She knew very well in her heart that there could be no absolutely safe way to deal with Duan Ling and others, and she should act decisively when she had the opportunity. Using the Yin Spirit Pill to manipulate Tong Gao to assassinate Duan Ling was her decisive move, but Duan Ling was lucky enough to dodge it. Duan Ling would soon know that the whole thing was her plan, and she would never have a chance to avenge Yuan Qiaoqiao in the future.

Along the way, she changed her disguise, avoided the post road and rode her horse, and by the next night, she was already more than a thousand miles away from Haotian City. There were no pursuers, Si Yang's heart was a little relieved, and he found a place to rest in the abandoned land shrine. Unexpectedly, as soon as he fell asleep, he heard the neighing of horses!

Si Yang was so shocked that he immediately sobered up! After a few steps to hide from the beams, he looked out carefully: he saw that under the night, there were more than ten cavalry standing in Sensen.

Si Yang only felt that his heart had sunk to the bottom. The escape had failed, but she was calm, and simply stood up from behind the pillars, and watched coldly as the man dismounted and walked in front of her.

Duan Ling stood still in front of Si Yang, smiled slightly as usual, and said, "Si Qianhu is not good at staying in Huweiwei, but he came to this ruined temple thousands of miles away to enjoy the night view, but he is so interested. ”

Si Yang sneered: "Duan Ling, you are so hypocritical. You want to kill me as soon as possible, but you want to pretend that nothing happened and talk to me about these words," she said disdainfully, "disgusting." ”

Duan Ling didn't care about her insults. The man looked around at the land ancestral hall, and said lightly: "You are here, and I am not in a hurry to kill you." ”

Si Yang squinted at him, and suddenly laughed: "What, Lord Duan still has something to figure out?" ”

Duan Ling's gaze returned to Si Yang: "I can speculate seven or eight, but if I don't listen to you clearly about some details, I won't feel at ease." ”

Si Yang heard him admit it, and laughed so hard that his body trembled: "Okay, good." She sighed in satisfaction and said, "Then you will not be at ease all the time." I'm not going to tell you anything. ”

Duan Ling said peacefully: "I can bury you and Yuan Qiao by coincidence." ”

Si Yang's body trembled slightly. She looked at Duan Ling carefully, and wanted to ask him if his words were counted, but she felt that it was meaningless to ask for a verbal promise. She struggled for a moment, thinking that she had no other opportunities and chips, and decided to gamble on Duan Ling's only remaining kindness.

Si Yang turned around and walked to the side of the case in the ancestral hall: "I know that you killed Yuan Qiaoqiao." Although your assassination is ingenious, Yuan Qiaoqiao has something you can't think of......"

She spoke slowly, and finally turned to face Duan Ling: "On the night of the fire in the Autumn Mansion, I saw you and Lan Zhi sneak into the inner courtyard of the Autumn Mansion and kill three guards. After you left, I also took advantage of the chaos to enter the inner courtyard and found that one of the guards was still breathing. But he was too badly injured, and I wasn't sure if he would be able to come alive to identify you, so I couldn't reveal my identity lightly, so I managed to lure the family in the front yard over. ”

Duan Ling nodded slightly: "Even Qiuyu Chengdu didn't find out, but you pay attention to hiding yourself." ”

Si Yang ignored his praise, and just continued to speak directly: "I knew that you would definitely kill the guards, so I stayed outside his house. I found out when Tong Gao came. He lured the guard into the house, and I took the opportunity to throw incense into the house. He was successfully assassinated and evacuated, and I followed him from afar. She glanced at Duan Ling: "This person is loyal to you." When he found out about my follow, he didn't go back to Duanfu, and went directly to the woods outside the city. ”

Duan Ling said slowly: "He is not loyal to me, he is just doing everything conscientiously." ”

Si Yang glanced at him and didn't argue with him: "I guess he was looking for a quiet place to kill me, but he soon found out that he had been poisoned and changed his mind and wanted to escape. Speaking of this, she subconsciously stroked the wound on her right shoulder: "But Yuan Qiaoqiao's incense, how can it be an ordinary thing?" I have barricaded him on a cliff to capture him alive and unravel your secrets from him. But his kung fu was too good, and I was careful, but I was injured by him, and I had no choice but to kill him with all my might. ”

Si Yang sighed regretfully: "I'll regret killing him." When he dies, you will notice that something is wrong and be vigilant from then on. In the future, it will only be a matter of time before I will be dug up. In desperation, I thought of the Yin Spirit Pill......"

"I don't know if I can kill you if I attack you unprepared, but this is my only chance left. I originally wanted to put Gu on Tong Gao's corpse immediately, and then leave him in the wilderness so that your people could find out, but after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to wait. Depending on your personality, the longer this drags on, the more suspicious you will become, and the more likely you are to see the body yourself. ”

Duan Ling bowed: "You know me." ”

Si Yang laughed at the corners of his mouth, noncommittal: "But you are at the peak of power in the city, and I am not sure that you will transport the body into the city and hide it without attracting attention." In addition, the current hot weather makes the preservation of the body also a problem. I thought about it and finally came up with a good place to go. ”

Duan Ling said, "Granary." ”

Si Yang nodded: "The granary needs to store grain, which is naturally warm in winter and cool in summer, and the corpse is placed there, which is not easy to rot." The granaries in the west and north of the city were newly built not long ago, and more than half of the grain in Haotian City was stocked, and it was heavily guarded and not easy to mix. However, the granary in the east of the city has been abandoned for a long time, and the garrison has been lax because of its age. I hired a carriage to transport Tong Gao's body to the granary in the east of the city, and hid him on the roof beam. She paused, "Then on the eve of your wedding, I managed to break the side beams of the granary, and led the guard to check it the next day." ”

When Duan Ling heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Si Yang, you are smart, meticulous and calm, but Yuan Qiaoqiao is dull and superficial and willful, how could you get mixed up with her?" ”

Si Yang smiled coldly: "Just rely on her to treat me wholeheartedly, in order to make me happy, she can force herself to do a lot of things she doesn't want to do." She turned to look at Duan Ling: "What qualifications do you have to say about me?" Yuan Qiaoqiao can live for me and die for me, can your Lan Zhi treat you like this? ”

Duan Ling has been calm since he entered the Land Ancestral Hall, but at this time, he was hooked by this sentence, and said with a cold face: "The hour is not early, do you want to make a decision on your own, or do you want me to give you a ride?" ”

Si Yang stared at him, and suddenly laughed: "It turns out that it can't." She took a vial from her bosom and swallowed the pill inside, and within a moment, blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth. But she looked at Duan Ling with the expression of a victor, and said arrogantly: "Duan Ling, I can't kill you, but I'm happier than you." In this life, someone has loved me with all their hearts. What about you? ”

Blood flowed from Si Yang's eyes, and under the moonlight, it was especially terrifying. Duan Ling's facial muscles moved slightly, and he suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, and a sword pierced Si Yang's chest!

Duan Ling drew his sword neatly. Si Yang couldn't stand anymore and fell crooked on top of the case. She began to lose her breath, and her mind gradually blurred, but she heard the sound of the sword being sheathed, and then Duan Ling's emotionless voice sounded: "To be safe, Si Qianhu forgive me." The man didn't stay any longer, turned around and left: "Then I wish Si Qianhu a good journey, I won't send it." ”

Si Yang didn't know where the strength came from, but he actually took a breath and called, "Duan Ling! What you promised......" She stared at Duan Ling with wide eyes, but she could only see a vague back. Duan Ling stopped at the entrance of the ancestral hall, tilted his head slightly, and said, "There is a precedent for Tong Gao, who would dare to touch you?" How could it be possible to travel thousands of miles to take you back to Haotian City. ”

Si Yang thought that he didn't have much expectations, but when he heard this, he felt unbearable in his heart. She raised her hand to cover her chest and said viciously, "Duan Ling, do you think that if you kill me, you can sit back and relax?" ”

Duan Ling raised his eyes slightly, and finally turned around again. Si Yang laughed twice and coughed up a mouthful of blood: "I have already made arrangements!" I have written your crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason in a bloody book, and I have entrusted it to reliable people for safekeeping...... If I don't contact him in ten days, he'll give it to Qiu Yucheng! ”

Duan Ling frowned slightly. After Si Yang finished speaking, he finally lost his last strength, and his breath gradually decreased: "I didn't expect it, right?" I know that Qiu Yucheng's identity is not ordinary...... Others can't help you, but he is on par with you......" The lower her voice became: "I know that you have disguised yourself well over the years, and he will not believe my words lightly...... You can add my life, hehe......"

Si Yang's eyes were sloppy, but an ethereal smile appeared on his face: "Duan Ling...... You will have retribution...... I'll watch you fall into disrepute below...... See how tormented you are...... Tragic death......"

She finally fell to the ground and took her last breath. But the cursed words still echoed in the Land Temple.
