There was no blood in Du Jiuzhai's chest, only a hole through his chest. The skin around the hole seemed to be burnt, and even gave off a strange smell of burnt meat.

Yusu stood aside, his hands holding the lotus fan covered with calluses and trembling slightly.

Du Ruo and Yu Yang also ran in, followed by Qu Jichao with a shocked face.

Du Heng knelt on the ground and asked weakly, "What's going on......

Yujuku opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, and his eyes were full of shock and grief that could not be concealed.

Du Ruo saw that he was silent, and shouted: "Old man! Du Heng asked you! What the hell is going on?! ”

"Old man...... The old man didn't know ...... "The old man rubbed the fan with his trembling old hand, "The old man was just about to go back to pack his things, when he heard a strange noise from the monarch's side. When the old man arrived here, he saw ...... And he saw ......."

Qu Jichao frowned, took a step forward and stepped in front of Du Jiuzhai's corpse, turned up the clothes near the wound, turned his head to Xisu and said in a deep voice: "National Teacher, you are well-informed, can you recognize what kind of weapon caused this wound?" ”

Yujuku settled down, leaned forward to take a closer look, and then stood motionless on the ground as if he had been struck by lightning.

Du Ruo had never seen Xisu so out of shape, so he gently pushed Xisu and said, "Old man, speak!" ”

Xisu stayed for a long time, his lips trembling, and he struggled to squeeze out five words.

"Jade ...... Yu Kongsang! ”

When a few people heard this, they immediately gasped.

Xisu knelt beside Du Jiuzhai with the corner of the couch, gently touched the burnt wound on Du Jiuzhai's chest with his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "The old man will never forget the appearance of this wound in his life, this wound is exactly the same as the one on Jun's back." ”

Du Heng slowly turned his head and said, "You mean, my mother also died like this?" ”

Xisu nodded and said, "That year, the monarch led all the families to attack the Mountain of Kongsang, defeated Yu Kongsang, and the two national teachers of Yu Kongsang and the Yu family, Zhou Liu and Zhou Pu, were captured. At that time, the monarch was so imposing that he did not take the defeated generals seriously, but only confiscated their weapons and imprisoned them in a dungeon. It's just that I didn't expect that the jade bow would also change and turn into a wrench in Yu Kongsang's hand. When the monarch pulled them out and wanted to sacrifice them to the sky, Yu Kongsang actually sacrificed the jade and tried to shoot the monarch. By the time everyone saw Yu Kongsang's movements, it was too late, and the arrow released by Yu Qiu had already hit the monarch. Later, the king didn't have time to think about it, so he used himself as a shield and suffered this arrow for the monarch. ”

Du Ruo interjected: "Are all the people who sacrifice to the heavens and the people of the festival a waste?!" Killed my mother, why did you let him escape?! ”

Xisu said: "No one thought that the Yu family would escape, and when everyone reacted, the three of them would have disappeared long ago." ”

Qu Jichao said: "Therefore, the capture of the three members of the Yu family was done on purpose. Yu Kong Sang knew that Du Jun was conceited, and after being captured, he would definitely relax his vigilance and wait for an opportunity to attack. It's just that he didn't calculate that Empress Du Jun would sacrifice herself in order to save Du Jun. ”

Yu Yang scratched his head and said, "But Yu Kongsang couldn't beat the monarch, how could he ......?"

Yusu sighed and said sadly, "The monarch has thought a lot, and he has never dared to disclose this matter to you. Jade Qiu is not an ordinary divine weapon, it has a wide range of effects and deep damage. On that day, the queen almost stuck to the monarch and blocked an arrow for the monarch, but the monarch was actually injured that day. The wound is not outwardly visible, but it eats the internal organs and cannot be cured. The monarch has been able to hold on until now, and it is already the end of the crossbow......"

Yu Yang bowed his head and muttered, "No wonder the monarch only asks his disciples to eradicate evil spirits every year...... No wonder the monarch asked a few of us to lure away the nocturnal wandering girl and ask the Qu family to help...... No wonder the monarch promised Qu Gongzi ......" Before he finished speaking, Yuyang glanced at Qu Jichao's face and closed his mouth.

Du Ruo said: "Then Yu Kongsang killed his father, why didn't he get rid of a few of our little minions?" ”

"Although Jade Qiu has the divine power that is difficult to be resisted, it is extremely strong, and after using it once, it will lose its mana for a period of time," Xisu lowered his head, picked up a few clods of soil from the floor of the light, and crushed them in his hand, "I think Yu Kongsang escaped after he got it." ”

Qu Jichao said: "So, it was not only Yu Kongsang who was captured back then, but three people. It turned out that they had already thought of a plan to retreat. ”

Du Heng was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "But, how did Yu Kongsang know that his father was not in good health, and how did he get in?" ”

At this question, the people present suddenly felt a chill.

There is a mole in Ganjube?!

Du Ruo's blood surged, grabbed Qu Jichao's arm, and said angrily: "It's you!" Father has always had nothing to do in Ganzao, but you wandered around in the mountains a few days ago and figured out the topography of Ganzao. You know that Du Heng likes to call flowers, and you deliberately ask your father for someone, just to use Du Heng to provoke your father. It was you who informed the Yu family and let them take advantage of the situation! It turned out to be you! It's all you! ”

Qu Jichao didn't argue, just coldly shook off Du Ruo's hand and said, "It's not me, Miss Du, you're wrong." ”

Du Heng didn't say a word, and silently looked at the faces of everyone in this room.

Yusu seemed to be a few years older, sweating on his head and looking sad. Qu Jichao is sanctimonious and looks bright. Yu Yang's eyes were glazed, as if he was still immersed in shock, and he did not slow down. Du Ruo clenched his teeth, his face turned red, and he felt that he was going to eat people at any time.

Although it seems that everyone has no flaws on the face, if it is suspected, Xisu and Qu Jichao cannot rule it out, but there is no evidence.

Without evidence, you can't act rashly.

Du Heng stood up silently and said coldly: "Don't make any noise." ”

His voice was not loud, but it had an inviolable majesty, and the room suddenly fell silent.

Du Ruo looked at Du Heng with wide eyes, as if he didn't know this person.

"Yu Kongsang has fled, and it is estimated that the news of his father's death will soon spread, and the plan for today is to protect the sweet date from being violated." Du Heng turned to Xisu, "National Teacher, I'm afraid that the infant Liang Gu is useless, you see, what other way can protect the sweet date?" ”

Xisu was stunned for a moment, Du Heng was so polite to himself, this was the first time.

"The monarch did explain to the old man before, he had expected such a day, and ordered the old man to place the monarch's sword in the center of the eight jujube trees. In the secluded enchantment, its power can be worth 10,000 jade, but it is not a long-term solution," Xisu glanced at Qu Jichao, and deliberately said that the altar was very vague, "The power of seclusion will support five years at most, and after five years, the oil will run out, and the sword will become a piece of scrap iron." ”

The name of the sword is named after Du Heng's mother. After his mother's death, Du Jiuzhai sealed the sword and never used it again.

Now I use it again, but even my father is gone.

Fortunately, the souls of my parents are still on the altar, but there is no one to blame me anymore and admonish myself when I do something wrong.

Du Hengqiang resisted the urge to cry, turned around and hugged his fists at Qu Jichao, and said, "I don't know if the marriage that Gongzi Qu said yesterday is still counting?" ”

Du Ruo shouted: "Du Heng, are you crazy? My father is gone, and you still want to kick me out?! ”

Qu Jichao didn't expect Du Heng to mention this stubble, so he was stunned for a moment and replied: "Of course I count." ”

Du Heng said: "Okay! My father's sudden death was something you and I never expected. My brother and sister are not helpful, and I don't know how many people outside covet my sweet dates. ”

Qu Jichao immediately understood.

"As long as Miss Du marries into Danhu Mountain, the safety of Ganjube is the safety of my Danhu, please rest assured Gongzi Du!" He paused for a moment and said with a smile, "It's rude, I should call you, Du Jun." After speaking, he was respectful and respectful, and made a big salute to Du Heng.

Du Ruo realized the importance of this, and wanted to say something more, but he held back, only clenching his fists and gurgling.

Du Heng searched outside all night, and when the sky was bright, he had already rummaged back and forth dozens of times.

The rain stopped, and the breeze blew the dates on the trees with a crisp sound.

That's right! There is one more important place to find!

Du Heng drove the clouds and flew to Li'er Peak. Sure enough, in the wrong roots of the big locust tree, I saw Mu Yu trembling.

Mu Yu was drenched, his face was pale, his lips were bruised, and he was trembling. The drops of water on his hair fell down one by one, the clothes on his body were torn to tatters, and his hands and arms were full of scars.

Du Heng hurriedly ran over, took off his clothes and wrapped them around Mu Yu, hugged her tightly in his arms, and asked softly, "Why did you come here?" ”

Mu Yu trembled and said, "I'm ...... I don't know...... Just remember to walk through a lot of trees...... It hurts so much...... It's so cold......"

Du Heng sighed and tightened the Mu Yu in his arms again.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, and I've made you suffer again......"

Mu Yu was like a frightened kitten, trembling constantly. She shook her head, her face rubbing lightly against Du Heng's chest, and Du Heng felt a burst of distress.

"How's Miss Du?" Mu Yu looked up and asked.

Du Heng said: "You are about to freeze to death, and you are still worried about her, why are you so stupid." ”

The sun broke through the clouds and shone warmly. The locust flowers on the locust tree shimmer with a warm white shimmer, and the fragrance is bursting and tinkling.

When Mu Yu was better, Du Heng picked up Mu Yu and walked towards Ganzao, telling Mu Yu what happened at night on the way.

When the two returned to Ganzao, it happened that Yuyang also came down from another mountain. Yuyang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Mu Yu was fine, but when his eyes met Du Heng's cold face, the smile disappeared again.

Yusu put the sword on the altar, and a sky-high blue light instantly burst out from the center of the altar, and then scattered in all directions, turning into a semicircular cover, covering the entire thin mountain inside.

Qu Jichao looked at the blue hood above his head, and his eyes showed admiration. Du Heng and the others stood beside him, but their faces were solemn.

"Gongzi Qu, although the marriage between Ganzao and Danhu is counted, but," Du Heng glanced at Mu Yu, "Mu Yu belongs to my heart, I can't let her go with you." ”

Qu Jichao said with a smile: "Since Du Jun insists, it is not good to snatch love with a knife." It is already a great honor for Shan Hu to have Miss Du, and if he is insatiable in the future, it will inevitably be unseemly. ”

When Du Ruo heard this, he deliberately let out a loud "bah".

Du Heng saluted Qu Jichao and said, "Then I will wait here for the good news of Qu Gongzi, and I will not be able to go out of the mountain to see him off." ”

"Du Jun is polite."

Qu Jichao returned the salute, and turned his face to Mu Yu and said, "If Miss Mu Yu changes her mind at any time, you can come to pick up the girl at any time." ”

Du Heng snorted coldly in his heart, this second Qu child, on the one hand, is respectful, and on the other hand, he dares to say this kind of thing in front of me, he really deceives me There is no one in the Du family.

Who knew that Mu Yu bowed slightly, and said: "Thank you Gongzi Qu for your wrong love, it's just that I like Du Jun and I won't change my mind, Gongzi Qu should find someone else." ”

Du Heng was almost moved to tears.

Qu Jichao was not annoyed, he just smiled and said to Du Heng: "Qu retired." ”

When Qu Jichao disappeared into the Infant Liang Valley, Du Ruo slapped Du Heng's back with a slap.

"Just sell me to the Qu family! Du Heng, do you still have a little conscience?! ”

Du Heng's expression was as usual, and he said seriously: "Now that the Du family is in decline, if we don't join forces with the Qu family, I'm afraid that several small countries can join forces and bully us." ”

Du Ruo was a little surprised when he saw that Du Heng was not smiling, but he was still unforgiving: "Then you will marry the eldest lady of the Yun family yourself, wouldn't it be safer." ”

Du Heng knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't say anything more, and let Du Ruo be sarcastic there.

Du Ruo said: "I'll leave in a few days, and you and Xiao Zhaohua will be left with this sweet date, and you will really be at ease." ”

Without waiting for Du Heng to return his mouth, Xisu suddenly said: "The young master, you can't stay in Ganzao." ”
