Chapter Seventy-Three: Warning?
The next day, Dugu Liancheng and Ruan Wushuang were woken up by a scream. The two glanced at each other in unison, and Dugu Liancheng got up neatly to investigate.
Dugu Liancheng's movements were completed in one go, and the door had been opened in the blink of an eye, Ruan Wushuang stared for a moment, then lifted the futon, turned over and got off the bed.
Fang put on his shoes, Dugu Liancheng had already walked in, she paused the movement in her hand, raised her eyes to look at him with an unknown expression, his eyes were deep and unpredictable, and she couldn't help but secretly guess in her heart that something was wrong, otherwise according to Dugu Liancheng's temperament, it would never be like this.
Thinking of this, her expression couldn't help but froze.
"But what's wrong?" She sat on the edge of the bed, her dark eyes flashing a few imperceptible gloom.
"Tang Wan'er is dead. Dugu Liancheng said lightly, and sat on the soft chair as soon as he swung his robe.
"Dead!" Ruan Wushuang's eyes widened in surprise, he was fine yesterday, why did he die?
Tang Wan'er's head was hung on the eaves of the restaurant. β
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang squinted her eyes, just killed Tang Wan'er, and hung her head on the eaves of the restaurant, except for the so-called pusher behind her, she really couldn't think of a second person, and the methods of these people really made people feel terrible and cruel, and the purpose of doing so was ............
"The person behind him killed Tang Wan'er, isn't it true to warn us?" Ruan Wushuang said thoughtfully, and his beautiful eyes burst out with countless dark coldness in an instant. Her hands were clasped tightly on the edge of the bed, and half of her fingertips were already sunk into the futon.
Dugu Liancheng's silent eyes swept over her fingertips that were trapped in the futon, and her voice was indifferent: "Hmm." β
What he thought in his heart was the same as what she guessed, and the purpose of the people behind it could only be to warn them that it was best not to investigate further, and this was also a good signal, so it seemed that they were getting closer and closer to the so-called truth, so the people behind it had begun to sit still?
"It's just that they don't kill sooner or later, but they killed Tang Wan'er on the day we set off to find Bai Zigeng, and gave him a warning, if it looks like this, they know what Tang Wan'er told me yesterday, so they were angry and moved to kill. Ruan Wushuang had a clear mind and reasoned and well-founded analysis, and the light accumulated in his eyes became deeper and deeper. Then her eyes rolled, and she said faintly:
"But how do they know?"
She muttered her eyebrows and pondered, and suddenly seemed to think of something, her heart moved, and before she could open her lips and speak, she heard Dugu Liancheng's slightly dull voice.
"It's very likely that they've been spying on all of this. "Maybe it's an inconspicuous shopkeeper, or maybe someone passing by. Because they lived in a restaurant, and the place of the wine shop has always been mixed, maybe they took advantage of this to lurk, so they knew what Tang Wan'er said yesterday, and it was inevitably leaked, so they killed Tang Wan'er, cut off their heads, and warned them not to investigate further.
"Yes, if it weren't for that, how could you be so mad. Ruan Wushuang said coldly, it was really difficult for the "helpers" who participated in the Huangyin case back then, and they didn't live a good life in hiding in the East and hiding in Tibet, not to mention this, in the end, even the whole family was slaughtered and killed. She really didn't know if she was saying that the people behind it were ruthless enough, or that the participants were stupid.
"Now that they're starting to stop us, we can't let them down. Dugu Liancheng said with a meaningful smile, his slightly cold and gloomy expression did not change, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, but a little more terrifying and cold.
"It's nature. Ruan Wushuang said with a smile, the smile seemed to be mocking, and the infinite chill was mixed with it, Dugu Liancheng said it well, the more panicked the people behind them, the more they wanted to stop it, the more they had to work hard to find out.
"You said that if they already knew Bai Zigeng's whereabouts, would they kill him before us?" Speaking of this, Ruan Wushuang's expression couldn't help but change.
"Then we'll be one step ahead of them. Dugu Liancheng said lightly, and his deep eyes did not see the slightest wave.
"Hmm. Ruan Wushuang nodded.
So, after the two packed up, they set out on the road to Los Angeles.
At the same time, the Mingqi Palace has changed the sky.
Xiao Wuyan was not in the Mingqi Palace, trying to take advantage of the Ming Qi Emperor's Gu poison attack, to launch a coup d'Γ©tat in one fell swoop, just when he had already ascended the ceremony himself, Xiao Wuji suddenly led troops into the palace and smashed Huanglong.
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Xiao Wuji was dressed in a black and silver-edged battle armor, different from the previous Hang'er Langdang, at this moment, he had his own domineering aura, which was above the Nine Heavens, and the green silk that was tied up at will in the past was meticulously tied with a crown of hair at the moment, and the good-looking peach blossom eyes were full of murderous intent to look at Xiao Wuyan sitting on the nine-headed dragon chair.
"Hmph, Xiaoji, you're late, this throne is mine. Xiao Wuyan's face was hideous, his eyes were full of red and unwillingness, and even the fear of Xiao Wuji, almost hysterical roar, as if to cover up the spontaneous fear and despair in his heart.
"Third brother, didn't he wake up?" Xiao Wuji said with a smile and mockery, as if he was laughing at Xiao Wuyan's self-indulgence,
"Hahaha, Mowgli, I've had enough of you a long time ago. Xiao Wuyan laughed wildly, his red and hideous eyes staring at Xiao Wuji standing in the center of the hall.
"Yes, that's really an honor for this palace. Xiao Wuji hooked his lips and smiled disappreciatively, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Hearing this, Xiao Wuyan's emotions seemed to have reached a flashpoint, he suddenly burst into laughter, and after laughing, he began to cry again, and suddenly he seemed to have lost his support and slipped from the imperial chair of his dreams to the ground, he fell to the ground and mourned and laughed and cried, crying and laughing, as if he was crazy.
"Why is my father so partial? Obviously, they are all his sons, but he can't see my efforts, so he gives you the position of prince so easily, the position of prince! The position of prince, hahaha......" He complained angrily, his eyes staring at Xiaoji.
Hearing this, Xiaowuji chuckled, as if laughing at his ignorance and ridiculousness.
"You see you're so stupid, how could your father give you the crown prince?"
"Xiaomowgli, you shut up, you are the stupid one. Xiao Wuyan roared angrily.
"Hehe, if you are smarter, you can think that the reason why my father did not pass on the throne to you is to protect you, and secondly, you are not ruthless enough. The end of the carefree note suddenly fell, and the chill was everywhere. The good-looking peach blossom eyes narrowed dangerously, as if their patience had reached the limit.
"It's ridiculous to protect us, but how can I beat you? I dare to kill that old immortal. Xiao Wuyan said with his teeth bared, his face almost distorted.
"Call you stupid, you're really stupid. Xiao Wuji said coldly, as if he had lost all patience, the reason why his father gave him the position of crown prince was just that his father also expected that there would be a battle between Ming Qi and Dayan in the future, or there would be a battle in southern Xinjiang, and if one side was defeated, the person in power would definitely die, and with Xiao Wuyan's IQ, it was obviously not enough to take on this responsibility, as for ruthlessness, Xiao Wuyan thought he was ruthless, but in fact, he was the lowest.
"Mowgli...... You ......" Xiao Wuyan raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Wuji, and his whole popularity was almost trembling.
Seeing this, Xiao Wuji hooked his lips and smiled, and in the blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of Xiao Wuyan like a ghost.
Xiao Wuyan was shocked in his heart, and his body subconsciously shrank back, obviously deep in his heart, he was very afraid of Xiao Wuji.
"How? Xiao Wuji said coldly, looking down at Xiao Wuyan, who was lying on the ground like a dog, not daring to raise his eyes.
"Brother Huang, you spare me, I'm ...... It was only in a moment that I was deluded that I did such a rebellious thing. Clearly felt the cold breath of Xiao Wuji, Xiao Wuyan, who had always been afraid of Xiao Wuji, couldn't help but coax, he raised his hand and hugged Xiao Wuji's thigh.
A touch of impatience flashed in the bottom of his eyes, and he wanted to shake off the hand he had climbed up, but his lowered eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the flower pattern on his wrist.
Xiao Wuji's heart moved, his pupils shrank, and his hand caught Xiao Wuyan's hand almost at the same time.
"What's the deal with the flower pattern on your wrist?" He shouted, there was this pattern on the wrist of the person who had given poison to his father before.
Xiao Wuji's actions made Xiao Wuyan stunned for a moment, and looking at Xiao Wuji's close look, he couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.
"If I say it, can the imperial brother let me go?" Xiao Wuyan took the opportunity to say, this was the only weight he could use to save himself.
"Okay!" Xiao Wuji replied without thinking about it, and slowly let go of Xiao Wuyan's wrist that was pinched red by him, but there was a little imperceptible weirdness hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Hearing this, Xiao Wuyan was carried away by the great joy, but ignored Xiao Wuji's meaningful tone.
"This is the other side of the flower...... ......Before he finished speaking, a stream of black blood overflowed from the corner of Xiao Wuyan's mouth, and then he grabbed his neck with a painful look on his face, and slowly melted to the ground like a puddle of mud, twitched twice, and then fell silent.
Xiao Wuji looked at it expressionlessly, it was obvious that Xiao Wuyan was drugged in advance, once he told the secret about the other side flower, he would be poisoned and died, sure enough, he was right, this Xiao Wuyan was a fool.
"Wind whisper, deal with it here. Xiao Wuji didn't even look at it, and with a thoughtful look, he walked down the nine-story dragon stairs leisurely.
Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and commanded solemnly: "By the way, go and check immediately, who Xiao Wuyan has been in contact with before." β
"Yes. β
After the words fell, Xiao Wuji walked out of the main hall to the sleeping hall of Emperor Ming Qi, and at this moment, the national teacher had just finished administering the needle to Emperor Ming Qi.
"National Teacher, how is my father?" asked Xiao Wuji Fang as he stepped into the dormitory.
The national teacher cleaned his hands, took the silk handkerchief handed over by the palace maid on the side, wiped the water droplets on his hands, and sighed lightly, with a sense of frustration.
"The emperor's situation is not optimistic, originally the emperor had been poisoned by Gu before, and later the poison of the three princes, the two poisons were blended, and they were extremely domineering. β
"Isn't there any way to detoxify?"
The national teacher shook his head and said, "Judging from this, there are still two years to apply needles every day." The implication is that Emperor Ming has only two years to live.
"That's fine. "I don't know why.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to the martial arts conference?"
"Hmm. β
"I inquired about this martial arts conference, and the Purple Moon Pavilion, which has been hiding from the world for a long time, will take advantage of this to enter the world. β
"Purple Moon Pavilion. "I said thoughtfully.
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can win over the Purple Moon Pavilion......" The words behind the national teacher did not continue, but Xiao Wuji also understood what he meant, and winning over the Purple Moon Pavilion was like an extra army of thousands of troops, so naturally even if he didn't say it, he would do so.
"Hmm. He hummed softly, his deep eyes not knowing what to think.
