"The emperor has arrived~"

Emperor Xiao got down from the sedan chair and walked into Cining Palace, and the palace maid and Xin Zhourui knelt down and shouted long live,

"Queen Mother Jin'an!" Emperor Xiao went to the Queen Mother, knelt on one knee, and said goodbye to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "The emperor is up, everyone is up!" ”

The Queen Mother is actually very old, but she has a pure heart and few desires, and she reads the classics of the ancestors in Cining Palace every day, and has the habit of strengthening her body, so she is still very healthy until her body.

Emperor Xiao was the first to stand up, and the others were still kneeling, they were visiting the emperor, and they didn't dare to get up without the emperor's dictation.

"Get up!" Emperor Xiao waved his hand to make everyone stand up, turned to face the Queen Mother, and asked respectfully, "The Queen Mother is looking for me, I don't know what it is for?" ”

"Emperor, you said, how long has it been since you came to Cining Palace to see the mourning family?" The Queen Mother's tone was a little dissatisfied, but there was no hint of blame on her face.

"This ......" Emperor Xiao was speechless for a while, not knowing how to explain it,

I went to Yunzhou Dangzhou for more than a month, and I didn't often ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye before I went out, and I didn't come to Cining Palace for a long time, so I couldn't say that I was busy touring the mountains and rivers, so I didn't come to Cining Palace to ask for peace.

Seeing Emperor Xiao's face with an embarrassed look, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "The mourning family is not to blame you, knowing that you are busy with government affairs, the society is big, and the people in this world are well fed and clothed, so that the Yuwen family can be passed on from generation to generation." ”

The Queen Mother is a very loving person, and it is precisely because of this that the emperor will make her the queen of the world.

Afterwards, the queen mother waved her hand to the palace ladies and fathers-in-law in the palace, "You go down first!" ”

waited until only Xin Zhourui and Emperor Xiao were left in the palace before the Queen Mother spoke up again, "Okay, Rui'er can say anything about it." ”

"Your Majesty, news came from Dangzhou that it was the discovery of the traces of the Five Poisonous Beasts." Xin Zhourui handed Emperor Xiao the letter from Dangzhou.

The Qianyuan Inn is actually a place used to collect intelligence from all over the world, and under the Qianyuan Inn in each place, there will be some small inns used to collect fragmentary information.

After the small inn collects the fragmentary news, it will gather the important news to the Qianyuan Inn in each state city, and the Qianyuan Inn will classify the matter, and finally the important news will be brought back to the Qianyuan Inn in the capital by the caravan.

If the matter is not particularly important, Xin Zhourui will go to the Qing Palace, tell the third prince, if the matter is urgent, he needs to enter the palace.

Emperor Xiao opened the letter, and sure enough, he saw a description of the traces of the Five Poisonous Beasts.

Putting away the note, Xiao Huang's brows furrowed, "Five poisonous beasts, it's really troublesome!" ”

Outside the city of Dangzhou, not far from Zhou Ruo's grave,

Ouyang Kai leaned on the tree with his back, and when Zhou Yi finished talking to her mother, he wanted her to go back to Dangzhou.

This is indeed the case, when Zhou Yi appeared in front of him with heavy eye circles, Ouyang Kai said to her, "You go back to Dangzhou, it is inconvenient to take you with you this time." ”

Zhou Yi shook her head, she didn't want to go back to Dangzhou, in addition to being afraid that Ouyang Kai would leave her.

Ouyang Kai didn't speak, turned around and left, Zhou Yi saw that Ouyang Kai didn't drive him away, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed.

This time Ouyang Kai didn't go very fast, and although there might be trouble with Zhou Yi, there was no danger.

It took half a day to walk to the foot of Ziyun Mountain, Ouyang Kai stopped, looked at Ziyun Mountain not far away and was silent, although it was not early, but there was no movement on the mountain, and there was no sign of human activity in the village below the mountain, he felt very strange in his heart, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, which made him have an ominous premonition.

"Master, what's wrong?" Zhou Yi saw the solemn expression on Ouyang Kai's face and asked.

"It's okay, let's find a place to spend the night first." Ouyang Kai walked towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Yi felt that the master must have something to hide from him, but he refused to say, he definitely couldn't ask, so he could only continue to keep up with Ouyang Kai's footsteps.

Slowly walking into the village, Zhou Yi also felt that something was wrong, but no one in this village could be seen.

Under normal circumstances, this is the time when the villagers go home after working in the fields, but this village not only has no villagers, but also has no cooking smoke for cooking, and the silence is terrible.

The closer he got to the village, the more he felt panicked, and Zhou Yi's little hand that had nowhere to put inadvertently grabbed Ouyang Kai's sleeve.

Ouyang Kai felt the pull from the sleeve of his left hand, and was a little speechless.

Walking into a courtyard, Ouyang Kai found a sachet on the ground, picked it up and looked at it carefully, it looked like a woman's personal belongings.

"Ahh When Zhou Yi was inspecting the sachet in Ouyang Kai, she pushed open the door of the house first, and the scene behind the door startled her.

Ouyang Kai immediately ran to the door to look into the house, and the scene he saw made him frown,

In the house, several people lay in pools of blood, and their bodies lay on the ground, the blood staining the floor red, and the blood splattered on the walls told the horrific events that had happened in the house.

Zhou Yi saw that his master was coming, and suddenly pounced on Ouyang Kai.

Ouyang Kai broke open Zhou Yi who was hanging on his body, approached the people lying on the ground, and turned over their bodies.

The body temperature of the victim had not yet cooled, and the time of the murder would not be long, it should have been a few hours ago, judging from the food on the table, it should have been killed during the lunch meal.

Everyone has no obvious wounds on the body except for a long blood mark on the neck, and the fatal injury is undoubtedly a sharp weapon wound on the neck.

Judging from the facial expressions of the deceased and the depth of the incision on the neck, there was only one murderer, and his movements were clean and neat, without dragging mud and water at all, and he killed them all before the villagers in the house could react.

Turned around and looked at the footprints on the ground, in addition to the footprints of this family's usual life, there was a line of very light footprints, and a line of footprints, which were very light when they entered the house, although they were lighter than ordinary people, they were heavier than when they entered the house, and the people who came should have a lot of effort, why did these two lines of completely different footprints appear, which made Ouyang Kai a little puzzled.

Zhou Yi looked at the person lying on the ground, his heart was scared, he turned his head to look at the outside of the house, but there was also a house opposite, thinking that the scene inside might be the same as the situation here, and a chill arose in his heart.

"Ahh Master! Zhou Yi grabbed Ouyang Kai's hand tightly.

Ouyang Kai was full of black lines, let Zhou Yi drag his hand, and came to the opposite house, the situation was indeed the same as the house just now, all the people were killed.

I looked at several rooms in a row, and without exception, there were only corpses in the rooms.

How tragic it is that this village has been slaughtered!

Ouyang Kai found a puzzling place, all crime scenes have one thing in common - there are no young women!

All men, young and old, were killed; Women were also killed, but only women and very small girls were missing, and only young women were missing.

And there was not a single body on the road in the village, not even bloodstains could be seen, all the people were dead in the house,

It seems that there are not one or two people in the village, and all of them are masters, who can take people's lives in an instant, and the villagers have no time to react.

The first thing that came to Ouyang Kai's mind was the Panlong Sect, the mysterious organization that specialized in capturing women, but why he chose to wipe out the entire village this time, he couldn't figure it out.

After confirming that there was no living person in the whole village, Ouyang Kai turned around, looked at Zhou Yi and shook his head, "None of them are alive." ”

But before he could take two steps, a man in black came out from behind the house.

"Thief, where to escape!"
