Chapter Eighty-Four: One Step Late
"What about people?"
Tang Lian looked at the man in black lying on the ground, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he immediately pointed his sword at his neck and said sharply: "Let me ask you again, what about people?" ”
A chuckle came out of the black-clothed mouth, and before a few people could notice, the black-clothed man committed suicide by taking poison.
Fang Jinyi looked at the man in black with some surprise, and when he turned his head to look at Tang Lian, he found that he didn't seem to be surprised at all, as if he had guessed it a long time ago.
"Tang Lian, what's going on? Do you know these people? ”
Tang Lian looked at Fang Jinyi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You are all injured, go back and heal first, and I will tell you everything else." ”
Everyone present knew that Tang Lian had something to hide, and now he was prevaricating them by saying this, but Fang Jinyi didn't follow him this time, and took the sword spike at his waist to show Tang Lian.
"This is my eldest brother's sword spike, found in the dungeon." Fang Jinyi looked at Tang Lian with a firm look in his eyes and said, "You know where he is, don't you?" ”
Tang Lian didn't look at Fang Jinyi, and said to Sheng Sheng: "Help your young lady go back." ”
Sheng Sheng obediently walked to Fang Jinyi's side and said in a low voice: "Miss, let's go back first, Tang Gongzi won't lie to you." ”
Fang Jinyi looked at Tang Lian, Tang Lian looked away, the two were deadlocked for a long time, and finally Su Muqiu relieved the siege and said: "Jinyi, let's go back to deal with your injuries first, and then discuss other things, okay?" ”
I don't know if Su Muqiu's words worked, Fang Jinyi's attitude softened, she looked at Tang Lian and said, "I don't know if you have anything unspeakable, and I don't want to force you, I just want to know if the people I care about are safe and alive." ”
Tang Lian looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, sighed helplessly, and then explained to the people beside him: "You take a few people to search the surroundings to see if there are any clues left, and the others will follow me." ”
"Yes, Lord Tang."
Tang Lian didn't expect him to hurry up or be a step late, not only that, but he also met Fang Jinyi, which was really unclear now.
"Lord Tang, there are blood stains here."
Someone beckoned to Tang Lian, Tang Lian immediately walked over quickly, there was a string of blood stains on the leaves in the grass, and the blood was still a little slimy, indicating that the person who left the blood had just left.
"There's that too."
Tang Lian got up and walked over, his brows furrowed, whether it was left intentionally or unintentionally, this was the only clue, they could only continue to move forward.
"Everyone go all the way down to the bloodstains, be careful, and report to me immediately if you find something."
Tang Lian led people to trace all the way in the direction of the bloodstains, and finally the bloodstains disappeared by a stream, Tang Lian looked at the other side of the stream and hesitated.
"You take a few people to the other side to see the situation, and the rest of the people scatter to find out if there are any other clues around."
"Yes."
Tang Lian looked up at the sky, the sky was overcast, and soon there would be a rainstorm, if they didn't find a clue before that, then ......
Tang Lian didn't think about it further, the current situation was very serious, if he didn't find useful clues here, then that person's years of hard work would be in vain.
Not only that, but all those involved in this matter will be severely punished, and there are too many people who will be implicated.
"My lord, no useful clues found."
Tang Lian looked at the few people on the other side of the creek with a gloomy face, and those people walked towards the woods, and after a while, they came out of the woods.
"How? What did you find? Tang Lian looked at the few people who came over across the stream with some eagerness, and the expression on his face showed that he was very anxious at the moment.
Several people shook their heads and said in a low voice: "No, there are no footprints of people passing by over there at all." ”
Tang Lian sighed, then waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's go back first, you are all vigilant these days, no matter what abnormalities you find, you must report to me in time." ”
"Yes, sir."
Tang Lian looked up at the gloomy sky, he had already guessed that things might not be so simple, with that person's style, I was afraid that this time it would be difficult.
—— ——
Fang Jinyi and the others returned to Shengyue Garden, and Su Zixu heard that they were back, so he immediately rushed to the hall.
"What's going on? Why are you all hurt? ”
Su Zixu looked at the embarrassed three people in the hall, the fire in the middle of the night made him feel wrong, and then he went out to look for them, but he didn't find any of them, and asked the next person, and they all said that they hadn't seen them.
"Take a look at Jinyi."
Su Muqiu looked at Fang Jinyi, who was pale, just now Fang Jinyi had been using his right hand to make a sword in order to get them out of danger. Su Zixu had said before that if Fang Jinyi's hands were not well recuperated, there would be a possibility of being disabled......
Su Zixu quickly walked up to Fang Jinyi, first took her hand to check her pulse, and then checked her hand.
only touched Fang Jinyi's right shoulder, Fang Jinyi reflexively shrank back, and his face was ugly.
Su Zixu looked at Fang Jinyi's appearance, and immediately guessed it, and said in a serious tone: "You used your right hand." ”
Fang Jinyi nodded, she now felt that her right hand hurt so much, and even if she moved her fingers, there would be a piercing pain on her shoulder.
"Big brother, you send your sister-in-law back to the room first, and I'll go get the medicine box."
Before Fang Jinyi could lift her feet, Su Muqiu came over and hugged her, with gentle movements, without touching her injured right hand.
The hall was full of people, Fang Jinyi moved a little uncomfortably, and whispered to Su Muqiu: "I can go by myself." ”
Su Muqiu didn't seem to hear what Fang Jinyi said, and walked straight to the courtyard, Sheng Sheng followed beside him, and Su Zixu went back to the room to get the medicine box.
Su Muqiu's steps were very steady, and his arms were also very strong, and Fang Jinyi felt very relieved when he leaned on his arms.
Su Zixu quickly took the medicine box, and on the way to find Fang Jinyi, his mood was very heavy, if his guess was correct, Fang Jinyi's right shoulder injury might be serious.
When Su Zixu was treating Fang Jinyi, Tang Lian took someone back to Shengyue Garden, but he didn't see Fang Jinyi, he just asked his subordinates about Fang Jinyi's situation, and then left.
Compared with the situation in Shengyue Garden, the situation in the palace is terrible. No, it should be said that Liyang is in a bad state, and his plan for many years was ruined last night.
Not only that, but the people who have been waiting outside the door have given Liyang a headache, he has broken his promise to her many times, thinking that yesterday was the last time to break his promise, but he didn't expect it......
"Holy Lord, Miss Du Mo has been kneeling outside for three hours, and she still doesn't see her?"
Li Yang looked at the petite figure outside the door with a gloomy face, frowned and got up and walked out, although he didn't know how to face her, but let her kneel down again, it was estimated that her body would be unbearable.
When Du Mo heard the footsteps, he immediately looked up and looked ahead, and when he saw Liyang, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"How long do you want to kneel here?" Liyang's voice was very low, and his eyes were very cold when he looked at Du Wei.
"As long as you get what Du Mo wants, Du Mo will naturally not appear in front of the Holy Lord."
Liyang looked at Du Mo with a gloomy face, and after a while, he raised his hand and waved away the people around him, and then walked to Du Mo and squatted down.
"I said I'd make sure he's safe and sound, what else do you want me to do?"
Du Wei frowned slightly, "That's not what the Holy Lord said a few days ago, the Holy Lord said that as long as he waited until the end of the enthronement ceremony, he would tell me where he went." ”
Liyang narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Du Wei, you are so persistent, do you not believe me, or do you ...... Don't believe me? ”
Two 'don't believe' in a row, when Liyang said, he felt his heart tingling.
"I just want to make sure he's safe." Du Mo said without changing his face, looking at Liyang's eyes a little hesitant, "Now that you have sat on the throne, what do you want?" ”
Looking at Du Wei's eyes when he looked at him, Liyang felt for the first time how ridiculous the decision he made at the beginning, and what was it for now?
"Tang Lian?"
Du Wei suddenly spoke, Liyang was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the side, Tang Lian was hurrying towards him, his face seemed to be a little ugly.
Tang Lian walked quickly in front of Liyang, bent down and saluted, "I've seen the saint." ”
"No need to be polite."
Liyang looked at Tang Lian and looked up at him, the two made eye contact, and finally Liyang looked at Du Wei and said, "I will tell you what you want to know, but not now." ”
Du Mo moved her mouth, and just as she wanted to say something, Liyang interrupted her and said, "If you still insist on kneeling here, then I promise that you will never see him again in the future." ”
After Liyang finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Lian, and then walked back to the house.
"Du Wei, you go back first." Tang Lian sighed helplessly, turned around and walked two steps, and then turned his head to look at Du Wei, "Xiaoyue is injured." ”
Sure enough, after hearing Tang Lian's words, Du Wei only hesitated for a moment before getting up, because she knelt for too long, she was dizzy when she stood up, and finally barely stood on her feet.
Liyang watched Du Wei's every move, and when she saw her body shaking and about to faint, her heart suddenly clenched.
Tang Lian walked into the house and saw that Liyang had been looking in the direction of the door, shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's too late, Shengyue Garden was set on fire, and people were rescued." ”
"And then?" Liyang retracted his gaze, looked at Tang Lian and said, "Didn't you trace him?" ”
Tang Lian shook his head silently, and after a while, he said: "Xiao Yue found the sword spike of the Jinyuan, she is sure that I know the whereabouts of the Jinyuan, and I may not be able to hide it from them this time." ”
Liyang didn't speak, he was silent for a long, long time, and finally said with a cold look in his eyes: "There's no need to let them know the ins and outs, I will solve this matter." ”
"But we don't know where they are or what they're going to do next?"
Tang Lian did not agree with Liyang's approach, and at this time, there was no need to hide it. With Du Wei's cleverness, and what Fang Jinyi knew now, they would soon be able to guess what the whole thing was about.
Liyang sneered, squinted and said, "I know what he's going to do next." ”
