Chapter Seventy-Three: Entrustment
"Uncle, what the hell is going on? Who are they? Why did they kill you? Is it for the sake of this decree? Han Yu frowned and asked.
"I ······ I don't know who they are, but they must have come for the Holy Decree. The envoy gasped and said, "Actually, I am not the only one who escorts and delivers the holy decree, and I ······ There was also a Gonggong Yan from the palace and seven colleagues who worked with me at the Dongdu Station, but I didn't expect to be intercepted by a group of masked people on the way, and he ······ They gave me the holy decree, and asked me to ride a fast horse to the Zhongzhou Mansion in the starry night, but I stayed to resist, but there were so many masked people who came, and I was able to free up two masked men to chase and kill, one of whom had a bow, and shot my horse, causing me to fall, so I pretended to fall to death, and tricked the two of them to come, and when I got closer, I turned around and stabbed one of them, but there was another, the guy who was about to kill me, and also took advantage of the time to seriously injure me, and I threw the masked man I killed on the man, Flee for your life in a wooded place, and you have seen what happened next. After saying this, the messenger coughed violently, and coughed up several pools of blood, which was shocking.
Seeing this, Han Yu immediately took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said urgently: "Uncle, this is my Qi Fixing Pill, which can dissolve blood stasis and relieve pain, stop bleeding and smooth qi, and is very beneficial to the injured, you take it first, I will bandage your wounds, and then I will take you back to the city to recuperate." ”
The envoy pushed the porcelain vase back and said, "Thank you, girl, you are really a good person, but I have lost too much blood, and I have long been gone, I only hope that you can promise to help me protect the holy decree and hand it over to Lord Tang safely, and I will die blindly." ”
Han Yu nodded solemnly and said, "I promise you!" ”
"Thank you, girl·····"
As soon as the envoy finished speaking, he closed his eyes with a smile and left for a long time.
Han Yu took the holy decree into his arms, took a few steps back, bowed to the corpse of the envoy, and muttered softly: "Your loyal soul, Da Chu will always remember." ”
She sighed, and was about to find a place to bury the envoy, when suddenly a thought flashed in her heart: If those masked companions chased after him and found that this uncle was buried, they would definitely know that the holy decree he held had been taken by others, and I would not move the corpse, but I could trick them into searching around here first, and it would be good to delay a little longer.
Thinking of this, Han Yu retreated, walked towards the masked man who was stopped by Yingchun and Nianqiu, and shouted angrily: "Say! Who sent you? Why intercept the Divine Decree? ”
The masked man smiled wryly and said, "You should never know. After speaking, he looked up at the sky again and shouted, "Long live the Immortal Heavenly Venerable!" ”
With that, he suddenly stared at him, and finally fell to the ground weakly, and died of exhaustion.
Han Yu stepped forward and tore off his mask, and found that it was a young man, with black poisonous blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, nostrils and ears, and his death was extremely miserable.
"Who is behind them? Can they be willing to give up their lives to guard the secrets inside? ”
Han Yu really can't figure it out, everyone knows the preciousness of life, everyone wants to live a long life, not to mention the common people, just the emperors of ancient and modern times, which one is not dreaming of and longing for immortality? Which one doesn't want to sit on the dragon chair forever and ever?
But why can these people let go and die? Is there anything in the world that is more precious than one's own life?
Hua Mantian stood beside Han Yu with his hands in his hands and said, "Little junior sister, since they are all dead, why don't we find a quiet place to compete again?" ”
"I'm sorry Senior Sister," Han Yu's eyes seemed to be a little gloomy, and he said with a little determination, "Now that this kind of important matter has happened, I really can't continue to compete with you, so let's fight again another day." ”
Han Yu held the Holy Decree in her arms, she must now go back to the Eastern Capital and report this matter to the Tiwei Mansion, because according to everything that has happened recently, the interception of the Holy Decree must be related to the assassination and attack in the Eastern Capital, so only the Tiwei Mansion, which is investigating this series of cases, will accept this matter.
"Are you scared?" The corners of Hua Mantian's mouth are smiling.
Han Yu shook his head and said: "No, I mean, the competition is just a personal grudge, and what we are in front of is a major matter related to the people, we must distinguish between public and private, put aside private grievances for a period of time first, and then we will ······ when we are free."
"Are you playing me like a monkey?" Hua Mantian suddenly raised his eyebrows and interrupted angrily, "For a while, he asked me to apologize, and for a while he promised to gamble, and now he is telling me what to fight another day, and the distinction between public and private is clear." Let me tell you little sister, I'm just a person of the rivers and lakes, I don't understand what you said, either you fight now, or you just admit defeat obediently, I'm not in the mood to leave any agreement with you and that man! ”
"Senior sister is strong in martial arts, little sister, I admit defeat."
Han Yu calmly bowed his hand to Hua Mantian, and turned around to leave.
"Wait," Hua Mantian suddenly stopped her, "You don't think that you can leave a word that doesn't hurt or itch." ”
Han Yu turned around and said, "What else does Senior Sister want Little Sister to do?" ”
Hua Mantian said coldly: "You don't respect senior sister, you are biased towards outsiders, the next time you go back to the Pomegranate Flower Palace, you will first go to the punishment hall to receive the twenty precepts!" ”
"Yes."
Han Yu bowed to the sky again, and swept in the direction of the Eastern Capital.
Looking at the direction of Han Yu's departure, Nian Qiu said with some concern: "Young Palace Master, this is not good, her father is ······"
"What are you afraid of!" Hua Mantian turned his head and rebuked, so frightened that Li Nianqiu couldn't help but shrink his neck, "When the little junior sister entered the Pomegranate Flower Palace, the master told her family that if she violated the rules of the door in the future, she would be punished like other disciples. Her family agreed, although she has left the palace, she is still my sect, and she is punished for violating the rules, so why not? ”
Yingchun lowered his head and blamed himself: "It's all my fault, if I hadn't insisted on coming to the Eastern Capital, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." ”
"It's none of your business! It's the girl who doesn't have a good time coming to find herself," Mantian glanced at Yingchun and said, "Your business, naturally deal with it separately." We've lost a lot of time. ”
After that, Hua Mantian waved his sleeves hatefully, rode on the horse and set off, Fang Yingchun and Li Nianqiu also turned over and got on the horse, and then followed.
Dongdu Dongshi Jingkangfang Tiwei Mansion is not correct
Xiao Chongguang, Lu Yunsheng, Ji Yun and Guo Ting came out of the morgue, took off their masks, returned to the hall, and sat in their respective positions.
After a while, a guard entered the hall with four teacups on his plate, respectfully presented them to Sogo and the others, and then retreated.
Xiao Chongguang drank tea inadvertently, looked at a bronze medal in his palm, and was silent. On the bronze plaque, the three big characters "Wei Xiaolin" are clearly engraved.
It turned out that when Chongguang and Yunsheng returned to Tiwei Mansion, they told Ji Yun and Guo Ting about the sinking of the corpse in Wushi Lane, and Yunsheng told him the inference that he suspected that he was the old man of the five poisons, and Ji and Guo were both shocked, but they also raised doubts.
First of all, even if the old man of the five poisons wants to reappear in the rivers and lakes and wants to kill people as before to vent his hatred, it is impossible to choose the Eastern Capital, he is finally about to return to the eyes of the world, how can he commit a murder at the feet of the prince and become the target of public criticism again?
Second, although the old man of the Five Poisons is the head of the Demon Sect, he has always done things in a dignified manner, even if he kills people with poison, he does not hide it, and generously admits that how can he do the act of destroying and throwing corpses?
Third, even if the old man of the five poisons changed his previous approach and destroyed and covered the corpse, with his shrewdness, how could he reveal such a flaw? In addition to the five poisonous evil skills that he can master, he has also learned to kill people in an instant, and he can completely use his magic skills to kill people, so that he will not leave evidence of the "five poisons".
After hearing this, Sogo and Yunsheng also agreed with this argument, but then they also proposed that even if it was not committed by the old man of the five poisons, it must be someone related to it, and he also learned his evil skills, but what was the murderer's motive for killing?
After several people talked for a long time, the body was finally carried back to Tiwei Mansion after decontamination and transported to the morgue, and Ji Yun and Guo Ting proposed that the deceased be identified again.
Much cleaner and indeed easy to check. Soon, the attentive Ji Yun found that in the arms of the deceased, there was a bronze medal the size of an adult's palm. I was at the cesspool before, but I couldn't see it because the corpse was covered in filth.
He took out the bronze medal and handed it to Xiao Chongguang after some cleaning, and Sogo looked at the front of the bronze medal, engraved with Wei Xiaolin's name, and on the back, it was engraved with the words "Cold-blooded Hall"!
The four of them were all surprised, they didn't really expect that this matter would actually involve the Cold-Blooded Hall.
Shen Youlan who met before was a person from the Cold-Blooded Hall, this force itself was an assassin organization, and someone hired her to help, even if she was captured or killed in battle, there was nothing strange about it, and no one would say anything. But this time, it was inexplicably that one died in the Eastern Capital, and it would be troublesome.
As the number one assassination organization, even if the people under the sect fail to carry out the mission and are killed, then that's it, but now there is such a thing that the perpetrator cannot be found. Is it rare that in the future, other disciples will die without knowing it and ignore it? Therefore, they will definitely investigate thoroughly and find out the murderer without relentlessness, in this case, there will be constant nuisance in the future, if the assassins of the Cold Blood Hall enter the capital in large numbers, then what will happen?
But who could that person be? Have learned the Five Poisons and evil skills, made a feud with the people of the Cold-Blooded Hall, and did not hesitate to kill people in the Eastern Capital?
At this moment, the guard guarding the gate hurriedly entered the lobby and knelt down with his hands crossed: "Qi Xiao Tou'er, Lu Tou'er, that Han Yu Han girl is here, she said that there is something important to report." ”
