Chapter 19: Gu Yunping Appears & Dies???
Now, Ruoxi can probably guess what Nangong Chen means - take the opportunity to find out the person who Concubine Jing didn't say. It's just that this person is cautious, and they can't even figure out what they know when they are stabbed.
Nangong Chen pondered for a while, "Let's go back to the Snow Pavilion first." ”
In the city, the Snow Pavilion.
The whole pavilion was in order, and it didn't look like there had just been a fierce battle. No matter how quickly the people of the Falling Snow Pavilion reacted, the smell of blood in the air could not dissipate so quickly. And Ruoxi has always been extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, but he didn't smell half a minute at this time.
The little guy at the door guided them to the main residence of the pavilion, in front of the main building, the Snow Shadow Building.
Looking from a distance, blocked by the rockery at the door, I could only see Luo Shuihua standing tall, looking up at something in a daze.
From the moment he entered the inner courtyard, Ruoxi felt that something was not right.
Sure enough, turning the rockery, my vision suddenly opened up. On the finely carved lintel of the Snow Shadow Building, a corpse hung impressively, occasionally swaying gently with the wind.
Ruoxi didn't know this person, but he could roughly guess it by looking at Luo Shuihua's expression.
That's right, it was they who tracked down Gu Yunping, who had been fruitless for several days.
Carefully put the person down.
A strangulation mark on his neck, about the width of the hemp rope that hung him. But the wound was very light in color, there were no obvious signs of bruising, and judging by the entire features of the corpse's surface, there were no signs of struggle. Ruoxi can conclude that Gu Yunping was hung on it after his death. Not to mention fatal wounds, not even a visible wound. The meridians of the whole body are also intact, and there are no signs of heavy injuries or internal injuries.
Ruoxi took out the silver needle he carried with him and inserted it into the bone seam, the silver needle was still glowing with silver, and it was not poisoned.
So what is the cause of Gu Yunping's death?
Ruoxi looked up at Luo Shuihua and saw that he was also pensive.
"Chest." Two words for conciseness.
Gu Yunping also got up step by step from a dead soldier to a deputy pavilion master, and his body was full of mottled wounds. At first glance, there was nothing unusual except for a faded scar.
Today, the sun is surprisingly bright, and it seems that all the evil spirits on this earth are going to be sunburned alive.
The bright sunlight shone down, and a dazzling light shot into Ruoxi's eyes, shaking her instinctively raised her hand to block it.
No, the half-stretched hand was taken down again. If you are facing away from the sun, how can you get to your eyes?
Ruoxi cautiously reached out and touched Gu Yunpin's chest.
There seems to be some hard bulge.
A long needle pierces through the flesh and into the heart.
If it weren't for Luo Shuihua's reminder, such a small needle inserted into the heart would be difficult to be discovered. Ruoxi pulled out the silver needle and looked at it carefully, trying to find something. But it was just an ordinary silver needle, without any fancy carving, and no special marks were made. That's a good idea. It's just that why is Luo Shuihua so clear?
"It's the way of the dead. There are countless ways to kill people in Luoxue Pavilion, and the silver needle into the heart is only one of them, because the silver needle is so fine that it is difficult to be found, and it often becomes an unsolved case. ”
"This needle should be Gu Yunping's own."
It seems that nothing can be found from Gu Yunping.
"What's going on in the Falling Snow Pavilion?" Ruoxi suddenly remembered the question when she entered the door.
"Luoxue Pavilion was not attacked, it was Gu Yunping's deliberate signal that led me back."
Ruoxi looked at Luo Shuihua and didn't believe his statement. After Gu Yunping defected, Luoxue Pavilion carried out a comprehensive cleanup and rectification, all the deployments, codes, distribution of dead soldiers, and lists were adjusted at the first time, how could the distress signal not be changed, leaving Gu Yunping with an opportunity?
The enemy must have had a purpose in luring them up the mountain in every possible way, and then taking great pains to disperse them.
If it is said that leading them up the mountain is to take the opportunity to get rid of Nangong Chen. They attacked Luoxue Pavilion in order to disperse the forces of Luo Shuihua and the Dead. Attacking the Falling Snow Pavilion can not only realize their plan, but also take the opportunity to attack the forces of the Falling Snow Pavilion, why not? And why use a dead man to make a game.
Luo Shuihua must be lying, he is hiding something.
Everyone has secrets, and Ruoxi doesn't intend to pursue them. She believed in her instincts, Luo Shuihua did not have any ill will towards the emperor and the court.
If Xi guessed correctly, Luo Shuihua was indeed concealing.
The code he saw on the top of the mountain before was not an ordinary code from the Falling Snow Pavilion, but a dead man he had specially arranged on the top floor of the Snow Shadow Tower.
The attic on the top floor of the Snow Shadow Building is the forbidden place of the Snow Pavilion, and it is strictly guarded by dead soldiers on weekdays, and no one is allowed to enter except Luo Shuihua. Luo Shuihua's attention to this attic is even reflected in his defense: once someone trespasses, the dead man will send a line number to Luo Shuihua as soon as possible, and the rescue will never be fake.
Luo Shuihua settled Nangong Chen, raised the light skill to the extreme all the way, and returned to the Luoxue Pavilion. A man in black happened to jump from a window. There was no time to track down, and he ordered Luo Feng to guard the door, Luo Shuihua trembled and opened a black box that he didn't know which corner he had just taken out of, and was extremely hidden.
It's okay, it's okay, it's still there.
Luo Shuihua didn't bother to take a closer look, and heard a scream from downstairs.
