Chapter 696: Reminiscing Back Years
Feng Ling and General Gongsun followed closely behind to protect her. They're worried. That is, the person who did it is still hiding somewhere, waiting for the opportunity to move. After all, time is too short. They thought that even if they wanted to save Shangguan Meng. It will also wait for the night when the wind is high and the garrison is weak. The most angry was General Gongsun. He never knew. His own general's mansion is so light in the eyes of others. There is a sense of stigma of being slighted.
The footsteps of the three of them looked very strange in this closed dungeon. The flickering candlelight exudes a bit of oppressive atmosphere.
And when they saw the body on the wooden frame. I couldn't help frowning. Feng Ling couldn't help but grab Yun Shu's arm. I want to use my body to block her sight. After all, the scene in front of her was not suitable for a woman to watch. Even if it's the battle-hardened General Gongsun. I couldn't help but snort.
The closer you get. The more depressed they feel. Because the broken neck incision is so flat. It can be seen that the person who starts is fast and ruthless. The skill is also very profound.
The black blood hadn't dried up yet. But it's already a mess. The stench is getting stronger. General Gongsun couldn't wait to deal with this terrible body immediately.
The thin and thin body was just like that. Her clothes were so bloodstained that she couldn't make out the original color. It's very unlucky. And Feng Ling was unwilling to let Yun Shu get close at this moment. I always feel that the person who did it is so ruthless. Obviously, you can take people away. But he only took away a head. Clear...... is threatening to warn them. Or rather, intimidation.
Yun Shu's expression was obviously unhappy. Feng Ling felt. She shouldn't be sympathetic to her sister-in-law. The elegant woman's face was solemn. I don't know what to think about when I look at my broken neck.
Shangguan Meng still has value for the Wu family. Didn't expect it. But it is the value after death. What do they want her head to do. Dan Fan is involved in the relationship with the Wu family. Yun Shu felt that it was not so simple. She even began to imagine. The Wu family shouldn't use Shangguan Meng's head to create some monsters. Such an abuse of forbidden arts. Even Yunshu couldn't help but be afraid.
Then. General Gongsun seemed to notice something. He crouched down. Reach out and touch the ground. Feng Ling noticed his action. He picked up the candlestick and leaned over.
I saw only the ground. There are two or three faint footprints. It seems that he stepped on the blood left behind when he took Shangguan Meng's head.
"The depth of each footprint is the same. He is indeed a master. He frowned. can come and go in his general's mansion without a trace. General Gongsun was horrified. Subconsciously raised his head and looked at Yun Shu. It was the first time he had such a sense of crisis. I thought I would definitely be able to protect her. Didn't think about it. They easily took away Shangguan Meng, who was heavily guarded. Carrying her head so eye-catching. can make people escape.
If this time, the person's target is Yun Shu. General Gongsun was no longer sure. Your own general's mansion is not the safest place.
"General Gongsun doesn't have to worry. Shu'er's side. The main hall has already arranged for people. If there's any movement, they'll notice it. "The Shadow of His Highness is not a vegetarian. Feng Ling has explained. The situation is critical. This was a decision he had made after the last assassination arranged by the Empress. These shadows. It was given to him by Emperor Lian. And Feng Ling also knows how powerful it is.
He already had a group of shadows. But recently, Emperor Lian gave him another batch. Visible. Things seem to be moving towards tensions.
Yun Shu was standing in front of the headless corpse. His eyes fell on the left and right tendons that were cut by himself. Feng Ling slowly approached her. But I heard this elegant woman open her mouth lightly. "This time. She really won't live again. ”
Shangguan Dream. That is, Liu Yunhua's matter sued her. If you want to get rid of a person in the future. It must be determined whether the other party is really dead. Otherwise, they will stand in front of themselves in a few years. A different face. It's really unpleasant.
"General. Already asked. But no one knows how this man was killed. ”
The lieutenant came in from outside. The face is indescribably ugly.
"These people...... Is it clean? "For the first time, General Gongsun was suspicious of the guards in his palace. You have to know that you want to be his bodyguard. Generations of ancestors must be investigated clearly.
Then. There was an anxious report from above. "General Qiyu. A body was found behind the rockery. ”
Corpse.
The crowd immediately followed. The body had been carried over. General Gongsun lifted the white cloth on it. I saw a sturdy guard with a bruised face and a frightened expression. Seven orifices were bleeding and lay there.
"It's him......" Several guards were instantly startled. The lieutenant immediately understood what was going on, motioning for them to continue.
Zhang Shuo...... He came out of the dungeon...... "Why is this time dead?"
Yun Shu looked at this person's burly figure. Instantly understood how Shangguan Meng's head was taken out. Presumably. Someone killed the guard. And then in his capacity. After stuffing Shangguan Meng's head into the armor, he was unknowingly taken out of the dungeon.
"So how did he get in? General Ben didn't give orders. Except for Miss and General Ben. Is no one allowed to enter......"
Several guards looked at each other. They frowned. "General Qiyu. We...... We don't know how he got in. When I came back to my senses. He's already coming out of it......"
What do you mean I don't know how he got in...... General Gongsun's eyebrows immediately rose to anger. "Could it be that you have bumped into the evil ......?"
Several of the guards immediately knelt down. "Subordinate convicted."
"What's the use of conviction of sin. People are dead. "General Gongsun's anger was hard to contain. In his opinion. He really disappointed His Highness and Yun Shu. I swore by myself before. I didn't expect to be slapped in the face at this moment.
"Father." Yun Shu stood up. Gently grabbed General Gongsun's wrist. "Look at the death of this guard, he must have been poisoned. Killed Shangguan Meng and took the head. It should be the person behind the scenes who turned her into this. This person is good at using poison. Perhaps unknowingly, they were also poisoned. Blinding the past. It was not their fault. It's the other party who is too powerful. ”
There are sweat pills in the world. Naturally, there are also ** medicines. Yun Shu believed that it would not be difficult for the people of the Wu family to enter the dungeon. And it's been changed. It's normal for these guards to lower their vigilance. Now Shangguan Meng has suffered retribution. Although it did not develop in the direction that Yun Shu wanted. Something has happened. All they can do is clean up the situation. Don't be taken advantage of Shangguan Meng's death by someone with a heart.
The crowd returned to the hall. Feng Ling saw Yun Shu's thoughtful appearance. I couldn't help but open my mouth.
"Shu'er is worried. The queen will make a move next. ”
The elegant woman raised her eyes. There was a bit of clarity in his eyes. This time, Shangguan Meng was planted in their hands. By the way, he splashed the dirty water on the queen's body. It was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the queen. How could she give up? Besides, I remembered Shangguan Meng's previous words. The queen seems to be already thinking about what to do with herself.
"You think. How much does the queen know about who you are? ”
Now His Royal Highness of the Lotus Kingdom. Once upon a time, he was the third prince of the kingdom of Chen. And Shangguan Mengliu Yunhua. I know this very well.
Feng Ling had a slight smile on his face. "Even if she knew it all. I'm not afraid. ”
Look at each other so confidently. Yun Shu was silent. At first sight of her expression. Feng Ling knew what this thoughtful little woman was thinking. He sighed lightly. "Shu'er. Who do you think gave the power to the Empress? ”
Yun Shu's eyes flashed. "The Emperor."
In contact with Emperor Lian. Yun Shu knows. Today's queen is not the heart of the Emperor of the Lotus Kingdom. So who pulled her to the top. More powerful than Emperor Lian. That's just one person. Today's queen was chosen by the emperor. Naturally, it is for the emperor. Then the queen targeted Feng Ling everywhere. Come to think of it. It's all the emperor's meaning.
He didn't like the former queen. Naturally, I don't like Feng Ling. I can't see the Emperor Lian handing over power to him. So do everything possible to get rid of this imperial grandson.
Royal ruthless. This is something Yun Shu already knew. But looking at Feng Ling's breezy appearance. I was so disgusted by my grandfather. What it would be like in his heart. But...... Fortunately, he grew up in Chenguo since he was a child. In his heart, he still regards the Changding Marquis Mansion of Chen Guo as his home. The Emperor's dislike for him. Maybe for Feng Ling. Just an ordinary enemy. It's just that this one enemy has more power than the sky.
After all. It was also the Emperor Taishang who forced away the former queen back then. These bad debts are settled. There is no need to expect Feng Ling to have any feelings for this grandfather.
Speaking of the Emperor. General Gongsun's expression was full of forbearance. He couldn't help but snort softly. But when Yun Shu looked at him. He was silent again. It seems reluctant to mention the emperor.
It is rare to see General Gongsun like this. Yun Shu was sure he knew something.
Then. A man dressed in black suddenly appeared in the hall. Even General Gongsun couldn't help but be taken aback. With his martial arts, he didn't even notice anyone approaching. Could it be that this is the shadow given by the emperor to His Royal Highness. Really. After so many years of recuperation, it finally came in handy.
I saw that the man handed a letter into Feng Ling's hands. The beautiful man took it apart and looked at it. Then his eyes moved slightly. "Who sent this letter?"
"Someone is out there."
Feng Ling restrained his expression. Then he turned to look at Yun Shu. "Shu'er. Wait a moment for me. He lifted the hem of his shirt and stepped out. But Yun Shu's gaze was retracted and fell on General Gongsun's face. "Father. The daughter wants to know. What kind of person is this Emperor? ”
Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles. Yun Shu didn't want to know who the enemy was. But he didn't know anything about him.
General Gongsun frowned. If he could, he really didn't want to mention this person again. But his own daughter pleaded. How could he bear to refuse.
"When the Emperor was in power. Father is just a hairy boy. But it was in the barracks. No one has beaten me. General Gongsun paused. The position of general should have belonged to me. Just because I contradicted the emperor at that time. He pressed me for years. ”
Yun Shu can imagine. It turns out that General Gongsun has this temperament. It's been like this since I was young. Not everyone can tolerate him like the current Emperor Lotus. Not to mention the emperor of a country.
"At that time, the Emperor Taishang was extremely domineering and domineering. No one can change what he has decided to do. And as a prince. Naturally, the horse is headed by his command. But my father was an upright man. The prince still secretly befriended me. "So on the surface, General Gongsun and the current Emperor Lian seem to have a lot of disrespect. But they have been friends for many years. Each other knows each other's tempers. From an outsider's point of view. It may be that Emperor Lian is jealous of the power in the hands of General Gongsun. Now it sounds. It's all based on value and trust.
"In addition to the crown prince, there are several princes. The DPRK and China inevitably split into several factions. But no matter how you fight. The Emperor Taishang never listened to the persuasion of others. He even did not hesitate to kill several of these princes to set an example. There are also many important ministers. So the crown prince ascended the throne by the order. And the Emperor Taishang retreated behind the scenes. But...... One qiē is still in the hands of the emperor. ”
"If so. Why didn't the Emperor sit on that throne for a few more years? "What's the point of having your son a puppet emperor.
General Gongsun smiled sarcastically. "Maybe it's to beat the prince. Let him know. Even if the throne is given to him. This country is still the emperor's. ”
Yun Shu seemed to be able to sense the character of the Emperor Taishang. He has the power of life and death. No one will be allowed to resist. And she felt again. The reason why the current Emperor Lotus was able to get the throne. Maybe it's because of his obedience.
"Don't you think. The Holy One is too weak today. "General Gongsun saw what Yun Shu was thinking at a glance." What does my father think, too. And the emperor began to rebel against the emperor. It starts after the election. ”
