Jun Qinglan looked back and sighed: "Master Jiang, are you specially sent by God to test me?" ”

“…… Kindness? Jiang Yufan was stunned, and only then stepped out of the door frame with half a foot, and hung in the air like this: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Every time you show up, you always bring bad news. Did you not realize it yourself? ”

Jiang Yufan blinked, and scratched his head for a long time: "It seems to be like this." But...... But....... ”

Intuitively, Jiang Yufan felt that what Jun Qinglan said sounded wrong, but he couldn't refute it.

"It's useless not to talk about it." Jiang Yufan waved his hand vigorously to dispel the gloomy clouds hanging overhead: "Hurry up and close the door and come in, I really have something important to tell you." This must not be heard by others. ”

Jiang Yufan has always been a big grinning character, but at this moment, he put away the laughter in his eyes, and even his breathing was short. Jun Qinglan, who looked at it like this, sighed in her heart. To make Jiang Yufan so solemn, there must be something really wrong.

"Close the door." Jun Qinglan crossed the threshold, turned around and saw Rong Xi Tang Ying following in unison, so she frowned fiercely: "What are you two still doing with me?" Hurry to the Zhaoyang Palace, be sure to protect the safety of the prince. ”

"The minion will go back and pack some things first and rush over as soon as possible, as for Tang Ying." Rong Xi sighed: "The prince has instructed him to follow Lord Jun." ”

Jun Qinglan frowned: "I have a lot of people here, what are you afraid of?" Only by the prince's side needs someone to serve! ”

"It is enough to serve the prince and have a minion." Rong Xi bowed his head and said: "As for the safety of his family, the prince said that it is more useful for him to worry about himself than anyone else. Therefore, the secret guards are not allowed to stay away from Lord Jun. ”

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips shallowly, and her heart was like a river. Li Congyao's kung fu is unfathomable, and there are indeed not many people in the world who can hurt him. However, it is easy to dodge the open gun and difficult to defend against the dark arrow, and no one knows how many enemies are lurking in the dark, but he insists on keeping all the secret guards by his side, and there is no need to say more about his intentions.

In Li Congyao's heart, it seems that Jun Qinglan's safety is much more important than his own.

"Let's go quickly." Jiang Yufan was impatient to wait: "There is a big incident in the ice cellar, and even my father is helpless." ”

"Ice cellar?!"

These two words are as blue as five thunders.

The Three Strange Cases in Southern Xinjiang, the disappearance of Yu Jin and Rushuang, and Xiao Pei's death are all nowhere to be found. Fortunately, she had already ordered Xiao Pei's body to be preserved, as long as she investigated carefully, the truth would always become clear step by step. Regarding the legendary epidemic, you can also start directly from Xiao Pei.

If something went wrong with Xiao Pei's corpse, there would be no hope at all.

"What's going on?" Jun Qinglan could hear that her voice was already trembling slightly.

"You just asked me to go to the ice cellar to check, and when I got there, I found that the ice cellar door was empty, and there was no one to guard it. I immediately went to the commander of the guards and found out that since last night, all the guards have suddenly fallen ill, so that no one can be found to guard the ice cellar. ”

Disease?

Jun Qinglan took a deep breath: "What symptoms?" ”

"Fever and weakness, vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness, and severe fainting."

Jun Qinglan half-lowered her eyes, sure enough! The illness of the guards is similar to that of the legendary courtiers, but ...... The courtiers were sick, and it could still be explained that there was a problem with the feast that day. The guards on duty outside the ice cellar all entered after Xiao Pei's body was moved in, and none of them appeared at the banquet that day, which had nothing to do with King Zhaoyang.

"You say...... Could it be because of Xiao Pei? Jiang Yufan said cautiously.

Jun Qinglan suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Yufan: "What did you say?" ”

"I ......." Jiang Yufan swallowed his saliva, and said, "Those people have not been in contact with Xiao Pei but they are also sick, so I think about ......." ”

"Let's go, let's take a look at Xiao Pei."

Jun Qinglan stopped talking, and suddenly quickened her pace. Jiang Yufan was slightly stunned, and a little ecstasy appeared in his eyes.

"Jun Qinglan, was this case solved by me? Am I also useful? ”

Jun Qinglan didn't care about talking to him, and trotted to the ice cellar early.

The weather in southern Xinjiang is hot, unlike the cold and long winter in northern summer, and most wealthy households can dig ice in winter and store it in ice cellars for summer use. Ice in southern Xinjiang needs to be produced by special means before being stored. Therefore, ice is a rare item that is hard to find in southern Xinjiang. In the entire royal court, only the southern Xinjiang palace and the palace were kept with ice.

In order to ensure that the ice can be stored for a long time, the ice cellar is built in the shade of the innermost part of the palace. There, the sunlight is impenetrable all year round, and over time, thick moss has grown on the ground. When everyone walked near the ice cellar, they inexplicably felt cold all over their bodies, which was not pleasant.

"Whose hands is the key to the ice cellar?"

"I'll take it." Jiang Yufan raised his hand: "All the guards on duty in Southern Xinjiang fell ill, and their commander handed me the key." Wait until the new guards arrive, and then hand them over. ”

Jun Qinglan nodded: "Open the door." ”

The inside and outside of the ice cellar are like two different worlds. Jun Qinglan tightened her clothes and stepped into it step by step. Xiao Pei's coffin was placed in the innermost part of the ice cellar, and the Zhaoyang Palace's mansion was also generous, and the best huanghuali was used when he was buried.

The coffin was not nailed, and the lid was erected on the ground. Jun Qinglan stepped forward and glanced at it, then sighed heavily.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yufan also immediately approached: "How can this ......." ”

Jiang Yufan's eyes widened and he took a deep breath.

"Xiao Pei's body is gone."

The woman's voice was cold and indifferent, and she said slowly word by word, without half a wave.

"Xiao Pei's body is gone!" Jiang Yufan was not as blue as Jun Qinglan, staring at the empty coffin, he almost jumped up: "He's gone!" It's gone! ”

"I hear you, you don't have to be so loud." Jun Qinglan glanced at him slowly.

"He's gone!" Jiang Yufan didn't understand, Xiao Pei's body disappeared in the coffin, how could this person be so calm?

"Missing people, dead or alive, are there still fewer things happening around you and me these days?"

When she said this, Jun Qinglan felt helpless. First Princess Yujin, then Rushuang, and now Xiao Pei. These individuals in southern Xinjiang seemed to have fallen under a spell, and they disappeared one by one inexplicably, leaving no trace.

If it was in the past, Jun Qinglan would probably still feel shocked and hesitant. But now, she has become indifferent. All the strange things to see too much, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

"I think this so-called god only has such an idea, and he can't play any side tricks except for disappearance." Jun Qinglan looked at Jiang Yufan: "If someone tells me one day that even you are missing, I won't be surprised." ”

"What are you kidding, how could I be missing."

Jiang Yufan looked at Jun Qinglan, only to feel full of sorrow: "Now that even Xiao Pei is gone, how can this case be investigated?" That's right! ”

His eyes lit up suddenly: "I heard you just say that Princess Yujin has been found, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune." The key to the three cases is Princess Yujin, and it is finally a bit rewarding to find her. ”

"Yu Jin, ......." Jun Qinglan's voice paused, and her clear eyes looked at the unrealistic point in the air, and gradually turned into nothingness: "I didn't find it at all." ”

"You say...... What the? ”

Jiang Yufan's mind was buzzing, and he didn't know what to say at all. Only I didn't find five words at all, and I couldn't go back and forth.

"Let's talk about finding Grandpa Guo. As for Xiao Pei's affairs, ....... Jun Qinglan frowned slightly: "Block the news, don't let others know." ”

Although Jun Qinglan's words were light and light, the steps under his feet were extremely heavy. Princess Yujin was like a signal of the beginning of disaster, and since her disappearance, disaster has followed. This made her pay more attention to the Chengtian Sect than ever before.

Is it rumored that the Chengtian Sect is just an ordinary cultivation sect from the countryside? Now it doesn't seem to be the case at all!

The Qilin Temple is heavily guarded and independent. Chengtianzong was able to take Princess Yujin away in full view of everyone, which is certainly not something that ordinary people can do. I am afraid that their forces have already infiltrated the court in southern Xinjiang.

Now, the national teacher is imprisoned in the palace, and Li Congyao and the Zhaoyang Mansion themselves are difficult to protect, which is probably what Chengtianzong expected. Her opponents are immensely formidable, tougher than any opponent she's ever faced.

For the first time, Jun Qinglan felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. But...... Do you throw in the towel?

Of course not!

She secretly clenched her fists, anyone's life should be respected! Now that human lives have occurred, how can she let those thieves go unpunished? What's more, Li Congyao ......

He risked his life to buy her time, how could she let him down?

"Master Jiang, you go and report what happened today to the Duke of Given. I'll be there later. ”

"Where are you going?" Jiang Yufan blinked: "I'm with you." ”

"I'm going to take a look at the sick guards in southern Xinjiang. In any case, the disease cannot be allowed to spread further, as long as a countermeasure to cure the disease is found, at least a bargaining chip can be cut off by Chengtian Sect. ”

Is it an epidemic?

Jun Qinglan shook her head. If it is really an epidemic, it will be too coincidental. If it is said that Chengtian Sect has the ability to use people's hearts to the extreme, causing someone to help hide the princess and Rushuang. Then, it is impossible for them to bring down such a deadly disease as the epidemic.

She always kept in mind the words of Father Jun, most of the so-called natural disasters are man-made disasters, as long as you are careful enough, everything can be traced.

Because of the rumors, and in order to avoid suspicion, these guards in Southern Xinjiang were far away from the residences of the people in Northern Xia, and they were entrenched on the east and west sides of the palace. The middle is connected by a covered bridge, but it is also divided into two distinct worlds.

Southern Xinjiang is belligerent, and in the past, even in the daylight, the sound of military training never stopped, but today it is quiet. Except for the weak cicadas hidden in the leaves, there was no sound.

Jun Qinglan retreated everyone and stepped across the covered bridge by herself. After dividing the flowers and willows, they passed through several courtyards, and then arrived at the bedroom where the guards rested.

The air was filled with the smell of wormwood, and Lang Zhong, who was tightly wrapped in his hands and feet, was napping on the pillars.

Jun Qinglan didn't alarm them, and felt into the house by herself. But when I saw that the doors and windows in the bedroom were closed, and the wind was impermeable on all sides, the strong smell of medicine and mildew came to my face.

Jun Qinglan frowned fiercely, and was about to speak. Suddenly, a thin voice like silk sounded without warning, and it was steadily sent into her ears.

"Stop, don't move!"
