When Pu Yangyu and Xing Ruoyou and others rushed back, those old people had all died of life failure.

Xing Ruoyou was glad that he had just released all the poisonous blood in his body for Xiaoxiao, if he allowed this poison to persist in Xiaoxiao's body, Xiaoxiao's fate might be worse than that of these old people.

The atmosphere became extremely heavy, and when the guards who bought sulfur powder and phosphorus powder returned, Xing Ruoyou and Pu Yangyu commanded to eliminate all the poisonous rats, and after cleaning up the scene to confirm that there were no other threats, they rushed into the ruined temple that had been burned down in the battle just now.

As expected, there is a secret passage leading to the underground under the statue of the goddess of the night, and there are multiple underground cells underneath the tunnel.

The underground area is so large that it covers half of the entire village!

Nothing is more horrific than the piles of bones in the cells.

These corpses had all been dead for years from the same poison as rats, and judging by the shape of the underground cell, Xing Ruoyou felt that this was more like a base where others used to use living people as real people.

It can be seen from the symptoms of the poisonous rat and the nurse that the mastermind behind the scenes is a puppet team that has always been extremely combative, and as long as this team is released, it will bring endless blood and killing to the world.

They used the name of the village to implement the refining method of the puppet team, from these wreckage, there are many broken and broken bones on these wreckage, and some of the bones have scars made by various torture instruments, the cruelty of the black hand behind the scenes, the cruelty of the means, the punishment Ruoyou feels staggering, not to mention Pu Yangyu, who has always been jealous and hateful.

After Pu Yangyu listened to the analysis of the puppet team here, he became more and more aware of the seriousness of the matter, ordered someone to block the scene, and once again sent someone to report the situation to the emperor.

On the second day, the emperor came to the scene of the crime with people from the criminal department, and after bringing all the evidence that could be brought back to the capital, he sent a special person to guard the scene.

After doing a good job of handover, Puyang Yu started again.

After another day of walking, Xing Ruoyou parted ways with Pu Yangyu with a smile.

At first, Pu Yangyu was not worried about the two of them on the road, but Xing Ruoyou insisted that there was only a road of less than ten miles to Chuanyun Town, and Pu Yangyu was not allowed to follow.

And Cheng Shu also knocked on the side to remind Pu Yangyu that time was pressing, and in the end, he did not insist on sending Ruoyou to death, but he sent more than a dozen personal soldiers to protect her.

Xing Ruoyou knew that if she didn't accept it, Pu Yangyu might not be able to come up, and she had to send her there in person, so she had to bring these dozen or so personal soldiers.

However, when he arrived in Chuanyun Town, Xing Ruoyou let Xiaoxiao drag these pro-soldiers, tore off his beard, and turned Qiao Zhuang into a merry young man, with a lot of gifts, and went to visit the town mayor and Aunt Li's house.

Unexpectedly, the mayor of the town passed away a month ago, and the current mayor is the son of the previous mayor.

Xing Ruoyou claimed to be a descendant of the people in the song team where Aunt Li was at the beginning, and his mother was Aunt Li's best friend, who had been performing in the Three Kingdoms for many years, and finally came to the vicinity of Chuanyun Town in Wei State, because his mother was not in good health, so he was sent to visit Aunt Li.

The new mayor remembered the events of that year, and was polite to Xing Ruoyou.

From his mouth, Xing Ruoyou learned that Aunt Li didn't want to wander around with the singing team back then, so she begged his father to take her in.

When she married the right prime minister's mansion, she gave all the dowry gifts to the mayor's family, which was a return of kindness.

However, since Aunt Li got married, she has rarely had contact with the mayor's family, except for occasionally sending some gifts and money during the New Year's holidays, and even basic correspondence.

Xing Ruoyou felt that he had asked everything, but there was not much valuable content, and when he was about to say goodbye, the new mayor suddenly remembered one thing, it was the burden that Aunt Li had left behind because she was too anxious to go, and when she heard that Xing Ruoyou was going to the capital, she handed over the burden to Xing Ruoyou to take with her.

Xing Ruoyou heard that it was Aunt Li's thing that fell back then, so she accepted it without saying a word.

Sure enough, she found that among the items in the package was an envelope marked with a lake blue octagonal tripod, but there was no letter inside.

In addition to this, there is one painting left.

Xing Ruoyou has never seen a person as beautiful as the woman in the painting, and he always feels that he seems to have seen it somewhere between his eyebrows, until he smiled and said that this is Ao Cunxin, and Xing Ruoyou suddenly realized.

Let's just say how can I be so familiar, it turns out to be my mother!

However, Aunt Li actually kept the portrait of Ao Cunxin, and the relationship between this is really ・・・・・・ becoming more and more complicated.

Xing Ruoyou always felt that the envelope of the blue octagonal tripod was mysterious, but this was Pu Yangche's task, and she was not good at dismantling it and studying it in the rain without permission, so she had to rush back to the capital and tell Pu Yangche what she had heard.

After listening to this, Pu Yangche pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "Are you finished?" ”

Xing Ruoyou nodded, she did finish everything he told her to inquire.

Unexpectedly, Pu Yangche's face suddenly sank, and his beautiful eyes looked at her fixedly, but he no longer spoke.

His eyes originally looked like they were close to demons, but now they were really not cold, which made the arrogance around his whole body more and more calm.

Xing Ruoyou couldn't help but take a small step back, and pulled out a flattering smile: "Lord, what the concubine should say is really said." ”

All said?!

Including fighting poisonous rats with Pu Yangyu, why didn't you mention a word about being held hostage?

Did she think it wasn't worth mentioning, or did she not want him to know at all?

Thinking that she actually had something to hide from him, the cold glint in Pu Yangche's eyes was even worse.

If he hadn't always sent someone to follow her to keep her safe, he would have been hidden by her about her great secret!

Xing Ruoyou still didn't know what he said wrong, but seeing that Pu Yangche's face was so cold that he could scrape a foot of ice, he realized that something seemed to be wrong, so he had to turn the topic to the envelope: "Lord Wang, now we can confirm that the envelope of the blue octagonal tripod belongs to Aunt Li, we just need to send someone to monitor her." ”

"・・・・・・" zero response.

Xing Ruoyou had no choice but to say to herself: "The concubine thinks that the mystery may be on this envelope, and perhaps after some special processing, a lot of information can be found. The concubine wanted to try it. ”

"・・・・・・" still has zero response.

Next, Xing Ruoyou called several times in a row, but the other party just looked at her, didn't say anything, and didn't do anything.

Xing Ruoyou really didn't know what Pu Yangche was messing with, and he understood that his silence was acquiescence, so he moved to the book case little by little, and under the pressure of Taishan's overwhelming eyes, he slowly stretched out his claws and grabbed the corner of the envelope, and then quickly took the envelope back.

But in the next moment, Xing Ruoyou's face was as if he had seen a ghost・・・・・・
