Chapter 278: Lost Opportunity

"Annoyed and angry, for you, it's really not worth it, not anyone can make this county lord angry. ”

Xuanyuan Xi's purpose was not to provoke her, she just didn't let her get her wish, she was bitten by a mad dog, you can't bite back, you can only take the opportunity to beat the mad dog to death, once and for all.

Looking at Mu Qianxun's eyes that contained killing intent, mixed with disgust, and seemed to be more than that, Xuanyuan shrunk his neck and no longer competed.

This is the same age as her, it seems to be a rude and willful, temperamental county lord, it doesn't seem to be so simple, in the depths of those eyes, there are deadly things that can't be excavated.

Helian Rui will never stop it, he is not impartial, his sharp eyes, the corners of his mouth are upturned, and his hands behind his back are leisurely and careless.

The old coroner finally stopped moving, the beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping down, and the whole person collapsed, and until now, his hands were still trembling.

"The tribal chief of Qiyu, the county lord, the concubine, the cause of the death of this palace maid, the old slave has been clarified.

It was only after her neck was broken that she tied the blood-red silk and threw it into the lake, and she started... Extremely heavy. ”

The old coroner's head was pierced low, he said a lot, he made a lot of mistakes, and he was perfunctory if he could do it.

Mu Qianxun looked down at the coroner kneeling on the ground with a disgusted expression, this autopsy was too general, no matter how it sounded, it sounded like nonsense, but she didn't plan to hear anything useful from this old man's mouth at all.

"Your Majesty has already said that this is the work of a resentful spirit, and what can be found.

His Majesty had to remind the tribal chief that three days was the deadline, and if he could not return the resentful soul to the host after three days, there would be no more chance, and the consequences would not have been expected by His Majesty.

I also hope that the tribal chief can let his subordinates go back to the Xuanyuan tribe, and his subordinates don't want to be involved in an unwarranted disaster. ”

Xuanyuan glanced at Mu Qianxun arrogantly, not knowing what kind of expression was under the veil, even if she was talking to Helian Rui, she never beat around the bush, and looked like she was sure that Helian Rui would never punish her.

"What nonsense! Erchen can catch this person pretending to be a ghost within three days, please don't listen to rumors, just believe Erchen this time!"

Mu Qianxun blurted out, was pulled by Mu Youchen's arm, and glared fiercely, they were not sure that they could catch the person who pretended to be a ghost, let alone within three days, Mu Qianxun didn't dig a grave for himself.

Xuanyuan Xi shook his head, his smile was unpredictable, Helian Rui nodded indifferently, but Mu Youchen saw the calmness that flashed in his eyes:

"Well, just three days, if you can't confirm what you think in three days, then... Father Khan followed what Wizard Xuanyuan said, and wanted this resentful soul to be reincarnated.

Wizard Xuanyuan should not be in a hurry to return to the Xuanyuan tribe, Qianxun is capricious, Ben Khan will follow her once, three days will pass, everything is according to what Wizard Xuanyuan said. ”

"Then what if Erchen can confirm what he thinks within three days? Father Khan will promise to hand over Xuanyuan Wizard to Erchen for disposal, regardless of life or death!"

With a straight back, she seemed confident, staring at Xuanyuan Xi, as if Xuanyuan Xi was already in her bag.

Helian Rui hesitated: "This... Even if Father Khan is the tribal chief, it is not appropriate to easily promise the lives of others, according to Xuanyuan Wizard..."

Mu Youchen was still silent, this Helian Rui was more cunning than a fox, but it was just a nice thing to say, if they really caught the person who was pretending to be a ghost, without them doing anything, Xuanyuan Xi would also end up with no bones, why pretentious.

Xuanyuan Xishui's eyes suddenly moved, if it wasn't for the veil to cover it, what kind of horror would it be, and his hoarse voice was a little restrained:

"Everything obeys the tribal chief, and the subordinates naturally dare to put their lives in the hands of the county lord, but the county lord has no possibility of taking the lives of his subordinates, and it is just a waste of time. ”

"Then we'll wait and see, before that, can you bother Wizard Xuanyuan to figure out where the 'ghost' will be today, and the county lord can reveal it!"

If Wizard Xuanyuan can't even figure this out, then the county lord can only think that this set of ghost and god words is all used by you to deceive people. ”

Mu Qianxun rolled his eyes, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, this set, you can drill it yourself.

Xuanyuan Xun looked at Mu Qianxun indifferently, agitated the method, closed his eyes and "calculated", his lips opened lightly, and his eyes were still closed:

"To the north of the Lingrui Palace, to the east of the Senno Palace, this place is surrounded by rockeries, the flowing water has dried up, the old people live inside, the firepower is too low, and it is easy to provoke unclean things. ”

Mu Qianxun left satisfied, searching for the place in Xuanyuan Xi's mouth in his mind, in this direction, there are a total of four palaces, and it is none other than Concubine Jin who meets all the conditions.

Concubine Jin is a concubine of the first tribal chief, the first tribal chief was not favored during his lifetime, but after Helian Rui succeeded to the throne, he was able to live in this Xuanwang Palace.

Now he is old, he is quiet by nature, there are some flowers and plants in the Xiuyuan Palace, in the early years, Helian Rui also specially ordered people to build a few rockeries, and the water flow above the rockery has only dried up in recent months.

After entering the palace, Mu Qianxun also took the trouble to inquire about these trivial matters, from every palace in the palace to the habits and origins of every master in the palace, especially Helian Rui's special care, she would keep it in mind.

No matter how much it changes, it still can't change that caution, all the physical objects you don't know may be potential dangers, so Mu Qianxun has long figured these out.

She knows who can and can't, who is an enemy, who is a friend, who is harmful, and who is harmless.

A day always passes very quickly, and since it was just nightfall, Mu Qianxun and Mu Youchen began to be busy in the extreme vicinity of Xiuyuan Palace.

Almost clinging to the ground, black silk threads as thick as a human hair blended in with the night, and in the grass were hidden bells that connected the silk threads.

Around the rockery, above the roof, and between the houses, there are faint black shadows one after another, and the whole palace is murderous.

Tonight, Ye Chen, Leng Hao and others all went out to surround the Xiuyuan Palace, as long as the person pretending to be a ghost dared to enter, it would be difficult to fly with wings.

If he doesn't enter, it's easy to do, just to take advantage of this to greatly discourage Xuanyuan Xi's prestige, she can't say that it's because there are too many people in Xiuyuan Palace, and the ghosts don't dare to come out.

Mu Youchen and Mu Qianxun sat on the roof of the main hall, holding each other's hands, silent, their expressions seemed to be indifferent, but they could feel each other's apprehension.

After all, they only have three chances, they can't afford to lose, and the same starry scenery they don't have time to enjoy tonight.

Waited and waited, looked forward and waited, watched the time pass little by little, listened to the big bell in the palace ring again and again, sleepy, but did not see the enemy appear.

The fourth watch had passed, Mu Qianxun was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting, his head was tilted, he leaned on Mu Youchen's shoulder, and fell asleep.

Mu Youchen tilted her head, looked at the petite person beside her, and smiled, it was really embarrassing for her, she made a fuss all night yesterday, and she couldn't sleep peacefully tonight.

Gently took off the robe on her body and wrapped her in it, Mu Qianxun slept very lightly, as long as someone approached, she would almost be awakened, only him, no matter how she fiddled with her, she would not wake up.

The slender bony big hand covered her lips, yawned big, and her bright eyes covered with a trace of mist were even more charming, what a woman misunderstood at first sight for life!

waited until the sky was slightly bright, and there was no abnormality, and I didn't hear a little noise, and suddenly, a scream of earth-shattering ghosts and gods woke Mu Qianxun from his sleep, and also washed away Mu Youchen's sleepiness.

The two of them rushed straight towards a room not far away, yesterday's tragedy will not happen again today, but this time, they will not let him escape again.

It's just that how did he avoid the eyes of so many people and run in to hurt people, and how could he allow the victim to cry out for help so loudly.

Speculation is speculation after all, the sound comes from the house, and when they open the door, where is the perpetrator, and the scream is not the victim.

It was a side hall dedicated to the rest of the palace maids, and there were three palace maids in one room.

The scene they saw was a palace maid sitting on the ground, her eyes glazed over, constantly retreating, and she was so frightened that tears and snot flowed, and another woman covered her ears and slept soundly.

And in the center of the room, a blood-red silk hung on the beam, and a palace maid was hung on it, swaying back and forth, her eyes wide, and her arms drooping.

Mu Qianxun put her down and reached out to probe, a moment of disappointment, the corpse was already cold, it seemed that it was not a while and a half to die.

The sky was already dawning, and Mu Qianxun was not good to be disturbed here, so he took people back to Ling Xun Xiaozhu, and he was unprecedentedly frustrated, and he seemed to be out of breath because of what was pressed in his heart.

How can this be, how can people die, are they all blind, so that they will not see a big living person sneaking in and quietly harming people.

Qian Yan looked at Mu Qianxun's slightly haggard face, and was really distressed, how could it be good to toss like this.

"Miss, will you... It's really a ghost!"

As soon as he said a word, he was glared back by Mu Qianxun's sharp eyes, stuck out his tongue, and stopped speaking.

Mu Qianxun's eyes flashed, and her words reminded her that it was not their mistake, so many people, guarding one person, how could they be lost.

The only remaining possibilities are... The pretending ghost did not avoid them and sneak in, but he was already in it before they arrived at the Xiuyuan Temple.

It is not difficult to kill one of the palace maids while the other two palace maids are asleep.

If this is the case, he has no chance of escaping at all, that is... When they had just entered the side hall, it was very likely that the man was still hiding in the side hall.

It's just that they didn't think about it, they didn't care, they didn't find out, and once they left, that person had a chance to escape.

A great opportunity, just lost by them, and the enemy is not stupid, he will never give them a second chance like this, the taste of being teased is really unwilling!
