(One hundred and twenty-two) corpse vultures
Nine Heavens, Surabaya Pavilion East.
It was already night, and except for the soldiers who were on duty at night, most of the soldiers had fallen asleep peacefully after a day of intense training.
However, in Tian Meng's house, the lights were still on. Looking in from the outside, there are more than one figure, and it seems that there is more than one.
In addition to Qinglan, the three generals of Tiansheng Shengshui are all gathered together.
Tian Mengdao looked at the other two, "Are you sure that Your Royal Highness is still not staying here tonight?"
Shi Er said: "Don't worry, the brother on duty at Shen Shi saw him enter the Nantianmen with his own eyes, and he also changed into civilian clothes." Besides, General Tian, when have you ever seen His Royal Highness stay overnight in our military headquarters?
Tian Meng ignored Shi Er's contemptuous smile, and said with a solemn expression: "In this case, call Changning in, don't alarm others." ”
After a while, Changning walked in, the burns on his hands had basically healed, but his expression was depressed, and under his delicate eyes, the black shadow was heavy, as if he hadn't slept well for a long time.
He saw several generals, bowed down and saluted: "I don't know what to call Changning in the middle of the night, what are your orders?"
Tian Meng said: "I heard that Jing'an is missing?"
Changning raised his head suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "Didn't General Tian find her?
Tian Meng made a look, and Kuai took out a pair of green earrings and put them on the table.
When Changning saw it, he immediately felt sad and exclaimed: "Jing'an!" Holding the pair of earrings, tears flowed endlessly.
Tian Meng saw that Changning was grief-stricken and almost fainted from crying, so he showed him a seat and asked Kuai Fang to pour him a glass of water.
"Changning, are you sure this is Jing'an?"
Changning cried for a while, and finally held back his tears, and said sadly: "How can you admit your mistake? This is what I personally gave to her after Jiuyuan came back." She loved it and wore it all the time. ”
Tian Meng said: "But as far as I know, that time in Jiuyuan, there were three pairs of such heavenly water droplets in the demon beast cave, how can you be sure that it must be Jing'an?"
Changning said: "It's true that there have been three pairs." But Jing'an's ear piercings are small, so I specially polished the pendant here in order for her to wear it properly, so I can recognize it as soon as I recognize it. ”
Tian Meng was careful, and after listening to what he said, he deliberately went to look at the earrings again, and there were indeed some traces of re-polishing in the pendant part.
Changning said for a while, then whimpered and cried again: "General Qiu Tian let Changning know, where did ......he find this pendant? Is it gone?"
Tian Meng sighed and said, "This pendant was found by General Shi Er and brought to me. At that time, Jiuyuan, you and His Royal Highness and General Qinglan selected the Tianshui Drops together, and I also had some impressions, so when I saw it, I immediately remembered you. ”
Shi Er was an anxious man, and he couldn't bear to say something like Tian Meng, and shouted loudly: "Changning, I'll tell you how I found it......!
This corpse vulture is also called "mourning bird", and the people of their fairy world, before they are annihilated, often exude a unique aura in their souls, which ordinary people cannot detect, and it is indeed the favorite of corpse vultures. Therefore, if there is a fairy in the house, these birds will often come uninvited, fly around the house a few times, and quack.
Jinghua has never appeared since the Yanlong War, and everyone in the military department has been speculating about his life and death, and the rumors have been more than a day or two. When Shi Er saw the vulture at this time, he was naturally angry, and he was even more reluctant to be seen by other soldiers, causing unnecessary criticism.
Shi Er continued: "I hate these bad things in my life, you said that our military department is all good, why let these flat-haired beasts disturb the purity!
Killing that one doesn't count, I remembered that there were corpses and bones all over the place, and there had always been a flock of corpse vultures, so I simply didn't do anything, and immediately drove the clouds straight to the Wufu Sea, and wiped out the corpse vultures over there. I slew so vigorously that sometimes I would disembowel, and in the belly of one of them, I could see a drop of water from the heavens!"
Changning's voice trembled, he didn't dare to speak, he shrank a few times, but finally asked: "General Shi, do you see ...... See her?"
Shi Er shook his head, he knew that Changning was asking if he had seen Jing'an's corpse, "It's very clean over there, except for this pair of earrings, there is nothing." ”
Kuai Fang comforted: "Since you ...... If there is nothing, then Jing'an may still be alive. Changning, don't ...... Urgent. ”
Tian Meng shook his head and said, "I think it's more terrifying because there is nothing." The sea of Wu Yu is the place where the bones of the royal family of the past dynasties are buried, and the yin and evil atmosphere is very heavy, so it often attracts some fierce beasts and wild creatures to come, and some traces of beasts cannibalism are normal. If this drop of water in the sky hadn't happened to be swallowed by the corpse vulture, it would never have seen the light of day again. ”
He sighed, "It's been handled so cleanly now, it's clearly trying to cover it up!"
Changning stood up and said sadly: "General Tian, who do you say this murderer will be? Changning spared his life, and he will definitely avenge Jing'an!"
"I don't dare to speculate about who the murderer is. But the undercurrent in this Nine Heavens is turbulent, and I am afraid that there will be a shocking catastrophe immediately!"
Tian Meng glanced at Shi Er and said, "General Shi, how did you go to the household department today?"
Shi Er said: "The household department is still tightly hidden, I don't dare to make a noise, I used some shadow guards, opened up a number of joints, and only then did I find out that it has only been a month since the beginning of the year, but forty-nine immortal maids have been missing." ”
"Forty-nine?" Tian Meng said in horror, "It's only been a few months! There are so many people in the Nine Heavens who have not been seen, and they can hide it until now, and it doesn't leak!"
Kuai Fang said: "I'm afraid they are all indifferent subordinates, so they didn't ...... if they disappeared No one cared, but asked for someone from the household department again to fill the vacancy. ”
Shi Er said: "Don't talk about the lives of people, but those palace stewards have rarely asked about some people's affairs, and they won't care if they lose a few people, let alone report it, so as not to cause trouble for themselves." ”
Tian Meng muttered: "Yes, concealing superiors and bullying subordinates has always been the way to be an official. Even if those people in the household department noticed the increase, they didn't bother to investigate the reason, until they found out that there were too many of them, and they didn't dare to speak out, for fear that the Emperor would commit a crime of dereliction of duty. ”
Changning gritted his teeth and said, "Hubu, isn't it the Xuan Yao of the Fuyan Palace who is in charge now? I'll report this matter to her and let her make the decision for Jing'an!"
Tian Meng's eyes lit up, "Absolutely not." ”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah Mo and the Yin Key followed the black and white impermanence, returned to the underworld, and as soon as they stepped out of the tenth hall, it was like a world away.
Ah, the air in the underworld is so fresh, and the sky in the underworld is so clear! The most important thing is that Jinghua and Qinglan are standing there, waiting for these two troublemakers to come back safely.
Ah Mo ran and threw himself into his arms, and immediately began to coquetry: "Ah, it's so exciting! Jinghua, you don't know how thrilling we are! Thanks to my invincibility and the invincibility of Yin Key, this saved the danger and contributed to the good marriage between Anna and the prince." ”
Jinghua smiled and patted her, then let go gently, "I know, I know." Momo is the bravest, but the amount of alcohol is a little worse, isn't it?"
"Ah, you've seen it! ugly, ugly!" Ah Mo blurted out while covering her face, but realized that she had said the wrong thing.
She stared at his handsome phoenix eyes again, which were still dark gray, hollow, and unfocused.
Jinghua didn't seem to care, and smiled generously, "It seems that I have to take care of you in the future, and I can't let you drink indiscriminately." ”
Qinglan smiled and said: "Don't you manage enough? It's even more troublesome than your father! If you want me to say, you have to let go and let Ah Mo drink more, and practice the amount of wine, so that you won't be drunk easily in the future." ”
Jinghua lowered his head and coughed lightly, laughing silently.
Ah Mo looked around and said, "By the way, what about Sister Yuan and Brother Xuanhua?
Qinglan said: "They have to be earlier. This time it's really good, Xuanhua and you have each made a great contribution, and on Yiheng's tail, the discolored part is almost half. Let's work harder, and it is estimated that we will be able to get Yinlong Wing soon!"
The corners of Jinghua's lips were raised, and she seemed to smile. But in that smile, there is a trace of unnoticed sadness.
Half of the time between him and Momo is left, and there are only the last five merits left.
What to do?
He still had a lot of places to take her, and he still had a lot to say to her, and he wanted to take a good look at her......
But he had to let go.
Before Yinlongyi arrived, he made the appearance of being seriously ill and died quietly.
In that way, he could present that divine power to his father without any flaws, so that he could dissolve the anger in the Three Realms and make up for the loss of his spiritual power day and night.
That is the filial piety that a son should have, and the loyalty that a courtier should fulfill.
In his life, his wisdom is the best in the world, and his cultivation is unmatched, but he can't solve the simplest problem - to accompany the woman he loves, symbiosis and flourish.
"Momo, come with me. He smiled, not wanting to waste any more time with her.
"Can you? Sister Yuan allows it?" asked Ah Mo.
"Ah Mo, it doesn't matter if you accompany him around the neighborhood. Qinglan opened his mouth and relieved his brother from the siege, "King Guang has something to find Xuanhua over there, I'll go and take a look." I won't be with you. ”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is indeed someone looking for it, but it is not Qin Guang.
It's Changning.
As soon as Qinglan stepped into the door, he was stunned for a moment.
He wasn't a delicate man, but the mournful atmosphere in the room was too palpable. The once handsome young man was already haggard, crying bitterly and kneeling in front of Xuanhua.
"Qinglan, I'm afraid something happened in the Nine Heavens. Xuanhua said solemnly.
