Chapter 254: Superstition
In the imperial city of Kyoto, it has been four or five days since Wei Nanqi and Gu Naluo left the palace, Feng Yewu stood quietly in front of the door of the imperial study, looking south, his eyes were like water, and his thoughts were like an abyss.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the safety of the princess and Lord Wei?"
When Feng Yewu was out of his mind, a rough voice sounded on one side, and his tall body, like a small mountain, was really amazing.
"yes, it's been four or five days, and there is no news at all, which is really worrying."
Feng Yewu turned his head and saw Anur who appeared quietly on the side, and smiled slightly, but his eyebrows were full of indifferent sorrow.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the princess is an apprentice of the witch, and she wants to come up with some ways to save her life."
Anur's thick voice mixed together, as if it came from a deep ancient well.
"Lone regretted that he only let the two of them go..."
Feng Yewu couldn't help but feel a little remorseful about the decision at that time.
Although most of the masters near Kyoto have also gone to the northern frontier, the world today is too different from the world they once were.
The Red Lotus Sect is secretive, and the three sects and nine streams in the sect are complete, who knows what kind of risks will exist.
Anur heard the self-blame in Feng Yewu's words, smiled indifferently, and opened his mouth to comfort.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to blame herself, but the princess's experience is the witch's idea, after all, the princess will also become the heir of the witch in the future, and if she doesn't experience some things, she will never grow up."
It turned out that Feng Yewu was not unwilling to send the top ten warriors of Nanban to cooperate with Wei Nanqi at that time, but after Wei Nanqi put forward his opinion, Anur, who was hidden in the shadows, sent a secret message to Feng Yewu and asked Gu Naluo and Wei Nanqi to go.
Of course, Anur is so relieved to do this, and naturally has his own protection measures.
So Feng Yewu so calmly agreed to Gu Naluo's proposal.
On the other side, in the main hall of the Criminal Department, Sun Changxi was busy dealing with the serial corpse shredding case near Kyoto.
Sun Changxi, whose eyes were bloodshot, yawned while looking at the autopsy report handed over.
This case has been bothering him for three or four days, but fortunately, Sun Changxi has some martial arts background, if he were replaced by someone else, he is afraid that he will be exhausted long ago.
Shout!
Just as Sun Changxi was a little tired and stretched his waist, a letter was inserted straight on the table in front of Sun Changxi.
Sun Changxi, who was sleepy, was suddenly shocked by this letter, and his mind became clear.
Sun Changxi hurriedly hid aside, did not go directly to get the letter, but took off the sword on the side, and cautiously listened to the movements around him.
These days, murders in Kyoto have come out frequently, and as the secretary of the Criminal Department, Sun Changxi naturally does not dare to relax at all.
In the silence, Sun Changxi's back was already soaked in cold sweat, but the person in the dark still did not appear.
Suddenly, a slightly hurried footsteps sounded, Sun Changxi's eyes lit up, and he felt that the footsteps had entered the front hall, so he flew directly and drew his sword and stabbed it.
"Look at the sword!"
A sword Xunfei stabbed out, but he was also a little surprised to see that person, but he was not stabbed by Sun Changxi, but a small iron bridge upside down, dodged, and raised his foot and kicked upward, just kicking Sun Changxi's wrist of my long sword.
Sun Changxi, who was in pain and didn't have much rest, actually threw the long sword out of his hand.
"You're sick! Why are you stabbing me! ”
A coquettish sound sounded, and Sun Changxi realized that he had hit the wrong person, and it was Wu Duxue who came in.
Thanks to Wu Duxue's family of generals, although it can't be said that martial arts are extraordinary, but he has some kung fu foundation, if he is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he has been poked out of a blood hole by the confused Sun Changxi.
Wu Duxue frowned and caught the long sword in the air, her face furious.
Sun Changxi scratched his head in embarrassment, and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I... Oh yes, it's because of that letter! ”
Sun Changxi hurriedly pulled Wu Duxue to the table and pointed to the envelope stuck in the wooden table.
"What a trick!"
Wu Duxue saw that the envelope was white on both sides, leaving no name to sign up, and then reached out and pulled the envelope out of the wooden table, and when it was opened, there were only five words.
"Wei Nanqi is in trouble."
"This..."
Wu Duxue and Sun Changxi glanced at each other, obviously the person who sent the letter was strong, and he could penetrate the paper into the wood, how could he have the level of a grandmaster, Wei Nanqi was in difficulty as written in the credible version, but it made Wu Duxue and Sun Changxi a little suspicious.
Can't a single grandmaster save Wei Nanqi? I'm afraid it's not easy.
"Shall we inform Your Majesty first?"
Sun Changxi stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes and said eagerly.
Wu Duxue frowned and raised her hand to stop her.
"To be able to send this letter in this way, the other party's skills are obviously at the level of a grandmaster, just these five words, we can't confirm whether the other party is friend or foe, and now in Kyoto, people are panicking, if someone pretends to design to let His Majesty know this information, wouldn't we be in the right place."
Wu Duxue whispered, as if she had thought of something, turned her head to look at Sun Changxi and asked.
"How long has it been since you've seen Lord Wei?"
Wu Duxue then thought that Wei Nanqi had not appeared in the early dynasties of the past few days, and had asked Feng Yewu two days ago, although Feng Yewu did not say it explicitly, but the general meaning was that Wei Nanqi had something important to do for her.
Sun Changxi raised his head and thought about it, and tried his best to push away the messy murder case in his mind, and then suddenly said: "Four or five days ago, Lao Wei came to me, saying that he wanted to investigate the affairs of the Red Lotus Sect and wanted me to go to the south of the city with him to have a look, but at that time, I was busy with the corpse shredding case in Kyoto, and I was unskilled. ”
"Chengnan Red Lotus Sect!"
Although Wu Duxue is not responsible for investigating the case, she has not heard anything about the Red Lotus Sect in this short period of time.
"You and my soldiers are divided into two ways, I will go to Dali Temple to ask if there is any news about Lord Wei recently, and you will lead the troops to the south of the city to find out if there is the whereabouts of Lord Wei."
Wu Duxue looked at Sun Changxi's eyes red, and couldn't help but ask again: "Otherwise, you can rest for a while and go later." ”
Sun Changxi smiled innocently, but it was still difficult to hide the worry about Wei Nanqi's comfort in his eyes, and he shook his head and replied.
"No, Lao Wei, this guy doesn't have much ability, and he can't do without me as a nanny, so just do as you say."
As soon as the words fell, Sun Changxi took the long sword from Wu Duxue's hand and hurriedly went to the side of the Criminal Department to deploy the official errand.
Walking out of the main hall of the Criminal Department, the smile on Sun Changxi's face had long since disappeared, but he just said fiercely in his heart.
Lao Wei, you support Lao Tzu!
