Chapter 294: Terror
Zhao Qiong'er had been riding a horse for a day, and she was already very tired, but she actually didn't want to go. But the emperor asked, and she herself suddenly wanted to see Liu Yunxiang's miserable situation, so she didn't make any more trouble, and obediently got on the horse.
"Father, I'm afraid I can't remember clearly, I think I'll take Yu Fang and Liu Jia with me." She believed that these two people also wanted to see Liu Yunxiang's appearance at this time.
The county lord of Liujia and the county lord of Yufang glanced at each other, did not speak, and simply got on the horse and followed.
In fact, where the three of them remember the road, most of them are talking to the guards around them, and they nod their heads and say nonsense like 'yes' and 'yes'.
"I should have walked here, there are traces of people passing by here." Gu Mo found clues in an inconspicuous place. "But there are not three people passing here, but a large number of people passing by, at least a dozen."
"Send someone over and take a look!" The emperor's face flashed solemnly, and he looked at Gu Mo with a slight doubt in his eyes.
Gu Mo nodded and ordered a few people to go in. But he was a little closer to the emperor. Shi Bo didn't move, but it made people feel even more cold and terrifying.
"Ahh It didn't take long for an exclamation to come, and then a guard quickly ran back and knelt down on one knee to report, "Your Majesty, there are many headless corpses about two hundred zhang ahead!" Looking at the clothes, it should be my Great Xia's guard. ”
The emperor's face was gloomy as if it was about to drip water, "Go over and take a look." ”
"Your Majesty!" "Father!"
Many people stood up to stop it, but the emperor waved his hand. "What scene haven't I seen? No problem! ”
Everyone was silent and could only follow behind. But Zhao Qiong'er and the three were unwilling to go further. They had already heard it, it was not Liu Yunxiang. So I'm not interested in seeing the bloody side either.
They can talk casually in the same place, after all, there are other people around. But with eye contact information.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you to the front."
Zhao Qiong'er looked at the Qilin Wei who came over and asked her to see the dead man unhappily, "Did you say what the matter was?" ”
The man glanced at Zhao Qiong'er expressionlessly, "The princess will know in the past." ”
"Humph! Go for it! Zhao Qiong'er took two steps and saw that the county lord Yufang and the county lord Liujia were motionless in place. He was even more displeased, "What are you doing here?" Come with me! "Why let her see the dead herself!
The county lord was a little timid. The county lord of Liujia was bolder, and the two of them went inside in tandem, following the third princess.
This time. The Qilin Guard had already formed a circle with torches. The moment the three of them walked in, their faces turned white, and they couldn't help but want to vomit.
"Father! It's scary! The third princess covered her face, and her body trembled a little.
The county lord of Yufang and the county lord of Liujia are not much better. But they have no one to rely on, so they can only grit their teeth so that they don't lose their temper.
There were twelve corpses here. They fell to the ground. They have two characteristics in common. First, wear a guard's uniform. Second, all have no heads.
"Look at it, is this a guard in your palace?" The emperor signaled, and Gu Mo handed a waist card to Zhao Qiong'er.
As soon as Zhao Qiong'er heard the emperor's words, she was a little dumbfounded. She didn't recognize people because the corpses had no heads, and she didn't think about her own people at all. Wait to see the waist card. But she was trembling even more, and even her teeth were chattering. "Father, father, this waist card is from my palace."
"Didn't they follow you?" Today's hunting, except for those who are on duty to rest, everyone else should follow the princess's side. But there are a total of twenty people around the third princess, and twelve of them died here, which is really a little incomprehensible.
"I—I didn't let them follow." Zhao Qiong'er didn't know how to reply.
"Then why are they here?" The Emperor asked again.
"I—How do I know!" Zhao Qiong'er has made up her mind to ask three questions, and she doesn't know. Or else? said that he sent them to find Liu Yunxiang, is it necessary to do something first and then do something?
"Tick!" The county lord of Liujia felt something strange on his forehead, and while reaching out to touch it, he raised it suspiciously, "It's raining?" Yes! ”
Everyone heard the screams, and their eyes were focused on the county lord of Liujia. She sat down on the ground, trembling and backing away as she pointed diagonally upward.
"Torch!" The eldest prince was standing not far from Liu Jia, and simply asked for a torch from Qilin Wei and shone it in that direction!
"Ahh Zhao Qiong'er screamed in horror, and Lord Yu Fang simply fainted.
At this moment, even the men present couldn't help but gasp.
"Gather around!" Shi Bo pointed his finger, and Qilin Wei held a torch to surround the entire tree.
When everyone came here just now, all eyes were drawn to the headless corpse on the ground. In addition, it was dark, so I didn't notice that there was such a strange tree here.
Throughout the tree, there are many heads hanging irregularly.
"It's right now, it turns out that the head is here." Shi Bo spoke, and he was already cold. Coupled with the content of this sentence, people can't help but have a cold war.
"That's not right!" Just when everyone was silent, Shi Bo suddenly said, "One less." ”
He looked at it carefully, and it was true that there were only eleven. "It's a pity that Her Royal Highness the princess is not in a good condition now, otherwise you would know at a glance whether these people are from your own palace."
Zhao Qiong'er was so frightened that she couldn't think about it now. How did these people end up here? Who killed them? What about Liu Yunxiang? And where did it go?
The emperor glanced at Shi Bo, "Aren't they?" ”
Shi Bo shook his head, "If it's those people, winning by surprise is the best choice." Isn't this a surprise to the snake? ”
"Perhaps, they want to give me a dismount?" The emperor was already suspicious. Now that I know some news of the rebellion in advance, how can I not think about it?
"Your Majesty, someone is shouting in the distance!" A unicorn guard stepped forward to report.
"Check it out!"
"It's a maid who claims to be serving the county lord of Fuhui. When I saw the fire, I came to ask for help. ”
"Bring it on!" Only then did the emperor remember that his party had come to find Liu Yunxiang.
"Your Majesty...... Yes! The maid first knelt directly on the ground and wanted to say something eagerly, but inadvertently saw the corpse and couldn't help screaming in horror.
"Shut up! Say it! Where is the county lord of Fuhui now? ”
The maid replied tremblingly, "We met a pack of wolves, the county lord and Fufeng are still dealing with them, and the slave and maid came back for help." ”
How could there be a pack of wolves! The emperor was shocked, "Come here, take someone to rescue the county lord of Fuhui!" (To be continued.) )
