15. Mass burial

Lin Ying leaned against the pillar with her sword in her arms, and just happened to block her way back, and just as she passed by, she raised her hand to stop her.

Su Qing was already unhappy, and raised his eyebrows a little impatiently and asked, "What is the matter with Young Master Lin?" ”

Lin Ying looked at her strangely for a long time, but never spoke. It wasn't until Su Qing gradually became a little impatient that he frowned slightly and asked, "You got involved with that flower butterfly?" ”

Su Qing's body was crooked, and he almost hit the pillar. Taking a deep breath, she tried her best to make her tone sound calmer: "Young Master Lin, you can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." ”

Lin Ying's tone was suspicious: "But when I entered the house yesterday, I clearly saw you 'entangled' together......"

Su Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Lin! A weak female streamer in the slave family, do you think there may be a chance to resist in the face of a ruthless character like Flower Butterfly? ”

Lin Ying glanced at her silently, her expression a little heavy: "But it was you who pressed on him at that time." ”

“……!?” So what the hell happened that day!

After Su Qing was shocked, he began to search around.

Lin Ying was puzzled by her actions: "What are you looking for?" ”

Su Qing said: "Find a knife and chop the jade scarlet jue to confirm your innocence." ”

Lin Ying's expression was colorful for a while: "It doesn't have to be like this...... No one here cares what happened between you. ”

But she cares! Su Qing was silent for a long time, and finally took a long breath, looked at him meaningfully, and said, "Actually, it's a misunderstanding. Really, just a misunderstanding. Just like that night, when Lin Gongzi peeked at the slave's wide clothes...... That kind of misunderstanding. ”

Lin Ying's face changed several times, and he turned around and left.

Su Qing hurriedly followed up, remembered something in his heart, and asked: "There is still something unclear in the slave family, and I want to ask Gongzi Lin to answer one or two." That day, the slave family was obviously taken to that abandoned house in the middle of nowhere, how did you find it overnight? ”

Lin Ying said: "Bai Cake is familiar with the special smell of your clothes, so naturally you can find it." ”

Su Qing wanted to ask what the white cake was, but at this time, there happened to be a few dog barks, and when he looked up, he saw Yan Wu standing at the door holding a ball of white velvet things. A man and a dog are all with a pair of watery eyes, their heads are slightly drooping, and their expressions are the same. She looked at the extremely soft and cute Jingba, thought of the dog barking she heard at that time, and tried to shout: "White cake? She was answered by two cheerful and crisp barks.

…… It is worthy of the regent's palace, and even a Jingba is not an ordinary dog!

With a full of amazement, Su Qing returned to the newly prepared room.

Although she is still Gu Yuan's concubine in name, she no longer needs to be any bait, so naturally she doesn't have to live in the same room with Gu Yuan as before. She still felt a little sorry for this. After all, there have been a lot of things that have happened in the past two days, a jade scarlet jue, and a Liu Fanghua who has never shown up, intuitively they are all characters who have to be vigilant, and they thought about it all night, and woke up in a daze the next day, and their heads couldn't help but hurt slightly.

There was a knock at the door outside, and someone called, "Lady, are you up?" It's time to go. ”

Su Qing was suddenly shocked and replied, "I'll come right away." ”

Hurriedly packed up and rushed all the way, and as soon as she got out of Hongyan Building, she saw Yu Feijue sitting in front of the car, threw a wink at her, and said with a smile: "Lady is so early." ”

In order not to attract too much attention, today's hideous half of the face is covered by a crescent-shaped carved mask, which looks more and more graceful and moving. However, after Yu Feijue's swaggering shout, everyone's eyes instantly gathered, and in such a state of attention, Rao is peerless face entered his eyes, which inevitably made Su Qing feel pierced.

Glaring angrily, Su Qing turned his head sideways and ignored him, lifted the curtain and jumped into the carriage, just staring at the people in the car.

In a fit of anger, she almost forgot that Gu Yuan was still in the car, she was slightly stunned, and before she had time to reflect on her improper etiquette, Yu Feijue suddenly raised her whip, and the carriage suddenly drove away. Her body shook suddenly, and she almost fell, but she was pulled by a hand, and fell straight into Kuan's arms.

Su Qing felt his heart skip a beat, and for a moment he let out a delicate "oops", and simply leaned towards Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan stared at her with lowered eyes, and did not reach out to push it away, until the vehicle was driving steadily, then he reached out and carried her to the soft collapse next to her, and said, "Sit down tightly." ”

Su Qing's wishful thinking of wanting to get tired for a while fell through, and when he looked at his appearance of not getting oil and salt, he only felt bored.

Glancing at the scenery flying by the wind outside, he asked, "Master, where are we going?" ”

Gu Yuan said: "Qiaotou Mountain." ”

Su Qing couldn't help but be surprised: "Qiaotou Mountain? Isn't that a well-known den of bandits? ”

Gu Yuan leaned on the soft collapse, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Yu Feijue said that Fanghua was taken captive to the mountain." ”

There was not too much emotion on his face, but there was a shallow and low light in his eyes. A very faint sentence inexplicably suppressed the atmosphere in the carriage, and Su Qing couldn't help but secretly shrink his neck and stop talking. Obviously, if something happened to that Liu girl, it was likely that even the entire Qiaotou Mountain would be moved to the ground.

Silently glanced at Gu Yuan's expression, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. What woman can make this man care so much?

After a half-day bumpy journey to the foot of the mountain, Qiaotou Mountain is so steep that the carriage cannot travel, so you can only hike up the mountain.

Because of the relationship between thieves and bandits, there are no people in Qiaotou Mountain for hundreds of miles, and it is inevitable that the overgrown weeds will be a little desolate. The layers of dead wood around covered a lot of sight, and the group walked through for a while, and under the leadership of Yu Feijue, they only felt that they were going deeper and deeper, and the way behind them gradually disappeared from view.

Lin Ying couldn't hold it back, and raised his voice: "Flower butterfly, where is there anyone in this kind of wilderness." You didn't mean to frame us, did you? ”

Yu Feijue glanced at him and said angrily: "It's almost there, it's almost there, what's the hurry." ”

Su Qing followed behind and only felt that his legs were sore, and when he looked up, he saw Yan Wu walking beside him with a meek face holding the white cake, and felt that the appearance of these two little ones was extremely cute, and he couldn't help but lean in and said, "Yan Wu, are you tired?" Why don't you let your sister help you hold the white cake? ”

Yan Wu thought for a moment, smiled obediently, and said glutinously: "Okay." ”

He carefully handed over the little white dog in his arms.

Su Qing stretched out his hand and was just about to take it, the white cake that was docile a moment ago seemed to notice something, his ears suddenly stood up, and he suddenly jumped out of Yan Wu's arms and rushed away from the depths of the grass in a blink of an eye.

Su Qing's heart jumped, and he couldn't stop it if he wanted to, so he could only chase after him in a hurry: "Don't run away with the white cake!" Come back! ”

A group of people watched in amazement as a man and a dog ran wildly in a barren forest, and with Gu Yuan's words of "keep up", they came back to their senses and hurriedly followed.

Su Qing felt out of breath after a wild run, and finally caught up with the white hairball, only to see it standing on a rock and barking wildly into the distance. After a moment of gasping and looking up in the direction it screamed, she only felt that the breath that had reached her chest was suddenly sucked back again, and the sweat that had been stirred up from the wild rush just now oozed a strong chill on her back.

A trail in front leads to a winding cottage, which is particularly deep and secluded in a tall tree and deep forest. Not far away are uneven mounds of graves, with strange semicircles covering half of the line of sight.

The door of the cottage was tightly locked, a lifeless piece, in stark contrast to the smoke rising from afar. Through the dilapidated fence, you can vaguely see the corpses scattered in the village, among which the bloody figure on the gallows is particularly glaring, and the half-severed head is attached to the neck, hanging in the air, like a swaying and mocking flag.

Su Qing forcibly endured the feeling of nausea and took a few steps back, and landed on the person behind him.

Gu Yuan's deep eyes moved slightly, and he raised his hand to pull her behind him. Glancing at the hand that was subconsciously clenched tightly, he didn't say anything, turned back to Yu Feijue and said, "But here?" ”

Yu Feijue didn't expect that the terrifying Heiqiao Village would become such a situation, and nodded dumbly.

Lin Ying sneered: "I thought that the famous flower butterfly was capable of anything, but I didn't expect it to be as effective as our white cake." ”

When Yu Feijue heard this, he didn't seem to realize that these words were an insult to him, and he didn't laugh angrily: "That's no way, I happened to have a cold yesterday, and my sense of smell is not as good as that of Brother Baibai." It's also ashamed to say it, ashamed. ”

Lin Ying choked, but he couldn't answer.

The bandits of Qiaotou Mountain have always been known for their ferocity and brutality, and even the government has always avoided this place, but looking at the appearance of this cottage, it is obvious that it has just suffered a bloodbath.

Who did this ruthlessly? Gu Yuan frowned slightly, and just wanted to step forward, but found that he was tightly held by the woman behind him and couldn't take a step. He lowered his eyes and looked at the trembling slender figure, and said, "Let go." Seeing that she resignedly let go of her hand, she said, "The scene inside will be even more uncomfortable, you don't have to go in if you stay outside." ”

When Su Qing heard this, he glanced at the bleak and barren scene around him, and couldn't help but shrink his neck: "Slave family...... The slave family wants to be with the prince. ”

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, letting her pull the hem of her clothes, almost dragging her towards the cottage.

The further you go inside, the thicker the blood around you becomes.

Such a strong smell of blood, accompanied by a corpse on the side of the road that was more hideous and disgusting than the other, made Su Qing's face more and more pale.

Bai Cake shrunk into Yan Wu's arms and whimpered in a low voice, Yu Feijue covered her nose uncomfortably, and the pungent smell made him look a little pained. Suddenly, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he suddenly looked at the tiled house not far ahead, and said, "There are people in that room!" ”

Everyone looked in that direction vigilantly, and saw that the door seemed to be suddenly pushed open by a force, and it shook faintly in the windless void.
