Chapter Ninety-Seven: Misfortune Leads to the East
"Five days later, if Lin Shaoyuan still can't hand over the order of the alliance leader, he will ......" Dugu Lianyu lazily held his eyelids and looked at the flickering candle flame, and his fingers knocked on the edge of the soft couch again and again, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. His tone was extremely light and breezy, but the tail note was suddenly cold, and the following words were naturally self-evident.
"The subordinates know how to do it. The secret guard who was waiting on the side replied respectfully.
"Hmm. Dugu Lianyu responded with satisfaction, and then he said without raising his eyelids: "The prince of Ming Japan will leave for Chang'an, and you can take care of the rest." ”
"The subordinates obeyed, but since His Highness gave Lin Shaoyuan a five-day deadline, why didn't he wait for ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dugu Lianyu raising his hand.
"The imperial examination is imminent, and the prince naturally wants to rush back to share his father's worries. The imperial examination is not only an inevitable way to instill fresh blood into the Dayan Imperial Court, but also an excellent opportunity for him to find and cultivate power in Dugu Lianyu, he doesn't know if Dugu Liancheng came to this martial arts conference, but if Dugu Liancheng didn't come, he naturally had to go back early, lest the "talents" were picked up by him.
Hearing this, the dark guard's eyes dimmed, and it seemed to be a little darker than the place where the candlelight could not shine.
"My subordinates know their mistakes. ”
"Next time you ask such a stupid question, you don't want to die. Dugu Lianyu said slowly, although his tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about homely, but there was a seeping coldness invisibly. If it weren't for the fact that he had been by his side for many years and had made many achievements, he would have died standing here a long time ago. Not to mention the reminders?
"Subordinates remember. "The secret guard is like a great way to be released.
With a flick of his fingers, the five-day deadline slowly bottomed out like the water in the water tank, and now Lin Shaoyuan is like an ant on the hot pot, the deadline has arrived, but he can't give an explanation, and what makes him even more restless is that Lin Qingqing has not come back since he went out five days ago.
For a while, Lin Shaoyuan's whole person suddenly aged a lot. He thought that Dugu Lianyu, Xiaowuji and others would come to the door to hold him accountable today, but what surprised him was that except for some people who usually didn't go with him to find a few words, Dugu Lianyu and others never came.
And what he didn't expect was that Dugu Lianyu and Dugu Liancheng had already returned to Chang'an separately, as for Xiao Wuji, he secretly sent someone to guard the Lin Mansion, even if there was no news, he didn't bother to come over to blame, after all, not everyone was like Dugu Lianyu pressing step by step. And Qu Liufeng took the posture of watching the play, naturally he would come when he watched the play, knowing that Dugu Lianyu and Xiaowuji did not come, he didn't bother to come over, and the lost alliance leader order could not jump out by himself without reproach.
For this reason, Lin Shaoyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, the Lin family, which was originally controlled by Dugu Lianyu, returned to the Lin Mansion safe and sound, he was happy, but he couldn't help but have a little more suspicion and suspicion in his heart, would Dugu Lianyu be so generous and kind?
It is obviously impossible, as the so-called nature of the country is easy to change, Dugu Lianyu is still the second prince of Da Yan, who is rumored to be ruthless in the center, so naturally he will not let go of Lin Shaoyuan's family so easily, and what Lin Shaoyuan didn't expect was that the real disaster of the Lin family came quietly under the thick night. The so-called "let go" is nothing but a final farewell.
That night, dozens of black-clothed people were like bats in the night, quietly sneaking into the Lin family, whether they were men, women, children, or maids, they were all killed, the scorching blood stained the bluestone slab red, and the thick smell of blood permeated the sky above the Lin Mansion, which was a killing under the dark night.
"Who sent you here?" Lin Shaoyuan was extremely painful but helpless to look at his relatives who fell in a pool of blood one after another, his blood-stained hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled slightly, his green clothes were already stained with blood, and the original color could not be seen by blood, and there were large and small scars on his body, and the wounds on his chest were constantly gushing with blood.
"Kill. The man in black who seemed to be the leader didn't say much, but coldly spit out a creepy word. In an instant, the seven men in black attacked Lin Shaoyuan together.
At this moment, Lin Shaoyuan was already exhausted, and he was seriously injured, so he was easily killed by the man in black, and seven swords were inserted into his body at the same time.
His old eyes overflowing with hatred looked directly at the black-clothed man in front of him, and the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth flowed straight down like a small spring.
"Receive. The black-clothed man at the head gave an order, and the seven swords were withdrawn at the same time, and the remaining black-clothed people who had already killed all the people in the Lin Mansion gathered together.
The black-clothed man led by him glanced at Lin Shaoyuan, who had already collapsed to the ground, staring at Lin Shaoyuan, who was staring at him with dead eyes, and then made a gesture, and suddenly, these black-clothed people disappeared silently under the thick night like bats in the dark night.
At this time, on the sheep intestine path, Lin Qingqing hurried to the Lin Mansion, and the posture was eager to grow a pair of wings and fly back directly. It's been five days, and she still hasn't caught up with the person who took the alliance leader's order, she doesn't know if Dugu Lianyu and others will blame her father, but at least she knows that Dugu Lianyu will definitely not let go of the Lin family, and the alliance leader will not be able to chase it back for a while, so she thought about going back and thinking of countermeasures with her father.
But for some reason, she had a bad premonition in her heart, always thinking that something would happen tonight, and her heart was beating like a drum, and the faster she beat, the more her heart palpitated.
An hour later, when Lin Qingqing looked at the Lin Mansion where the lanterns were hanging high in front of her and the vermilion lacquer gate was closed, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just like the usual scene, she raised her hand and patted her heart that was still palpitating, thinking that she must have thought too much, no matter how ruthless Dugu Lianyu was, no one in his eyes, his father was the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he naturally did not dare to act rashly.
It's just that she didn't expect that the martial arts alliance leader without the alliance leader's order would be like an empty shelf, not to mention Dugu Lianyu, even if anyone in the rivers and lakes wants to use this as an excuse to find fault, it is reasonable and well-founded.
"Miss, the subordinates just say it's okay!"
"Go knock on the door!" Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows and smiled, and then turned over and dismounted, maybe she was really too suspicious.
"Gotcha. ”
But after knocking no less than ten times, but still no one came to open the door, at this time Lin Qingqing couldn't help frowning, no matter how lazy that little guy was, he should have come to open the door a long time ago, but why is it so abnormal today? Could it be that something happened?
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing, who couldn't take care of a lot, climbed over the wall and went in, but before he stabilized his figure, Lin Qingqing was shocked by the scene in front of him, only to see that the brightly lit hall was full of people who died, in addition to the people of the Lin family, there were also maids, mothers-in-law, and maids.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes were empty and staring at the scene in front of her, the tip of her nose was full of bloody air, tears involuntarily overflowed her eyes, she staggered forward, she didn't know that she had only taken a step, and then fell to the ground, she struggled hard to get up, and continued to walk forward.
She was going to find her father, as well as her second mother, younger brother, uncle, and cousin............
"This ......" The attendant of the Lin family, who broke into the door, looked at this tragic scene, stood in place in shock, and couldn't move a single step.
Lin Qingqing felt very cold, as if the whole person was placed in an ice cellar, so cold that his hands were trembling, his feet were trembling, his eyelids were trembling, and his heart was trembling...... I can't even make a sound...... Only tears continued to slide silently from his eyes.
Finally she saw Lin Shaoyuan, who was already dead, his eyes straightened, staring at something, she saw despair and hatred in his eyes, she collapsed on the ground, her hand trembled and wanted to touch Lin Shaoyuan's face, but I don't know if it was because of remorse or what, her hand didn't touch it, and it fell straight down.
At last she cried hysterically, like mournful music, singing the praises of the souls of the deceased.
"Little ...... Miss. The attendant called out sadly.
"Hahaha...... I shouldn't have persuaded my father to join the WTO at the beginning, I shouldn't have let my father defect in order to marry Brother Ayu, and I shouldn't have been smart enough to tell the whereabouts of the alliance leader's order, today's situation is me, I caused it, but why didn't I ...... the person who died? But now it is a foregone conclusion, and no amount of remorse can bring back the lives of the Lin family.
When the words fell, Lin Qingqing picked up the sword beside Lin Shaoyuan as if he was crazy, and was about to kill himself, but fortunately, he was stopped by the attendants in time.
"Let go. Lin Qingqing's red and terrifying eyes stared at the attendant in front of him.
"Miss, no, think about it, if you die, who will avenge the Lin family?"
A word woke up the person in the dream, and after a while, Lin Qingqing's godless and empty eyes gradually regained some brilliance, but it was hatred, yes, she died, who will avenge the Lin family? Dugu Lianyu, even if I Lin Qingqing dies in this life, I will not let you go.
"Tsk, what a poor little rabbit. At this time, a voice came, Lin Qingqing's heart was cold, and he looked for prestige.
I saw a black shadow floating on the wall, and it should be a woman.
"Who are you?" Lin Qingqing slowly stood up, staring at the person in front of him with scarlet eyes.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I can help you get revenge. The woman said confidently, as if she was sure that Lin Qingqing would definitely agree.
"Revenge, who knows if you will be my enemy?" Lin Qingqing laughed, after all, what simple can the person who appears here at night be?
"Well, it's a little clever, if I were your enemy, you wouldn't have had the chance to talk to me here again. The woman said coldly.
"Then how do you prove that you are not my enemy, but want to help me?" Lin Qingqing said.
"I know who killed your family. The woman was confident.
"Who?" Obviously, at the mention of the person who killed the Lin family, Lin Qingqing's mood seemed extremely unstable.
"The four princes of Dayan are lonely and lonely. The woman said word by word, and every word knocked on Lin Qingqing's heart like a pearl.
"Impossible, Dugu Liancheng didn't come to this martial arts conference at all. Lin Qingqing frowned and said, why didn't she remember that Dugu Liancheng had come to this martial arts conference.
"Say you're stupid, you're really stupid, who is Dugu Liancheng, if he doesn't want you to recognize it, there is a way. The woman said sarcastically.
Hearing this, Lin Qingqing said thoughtfully: "But why did Dugu Liancheng want to kill my Lin family?" At this point, she couldn't figure it out, Dugu Liancheng had no reason to kill the Lin family at all.
"The alliance leader's order is a big fat meat, everyone is waiting to swallow it, you said that your father and daughter lost it, it will naturally annoy many people, Dugu Liancheng is naturally no exception, and Dugu Liancheng killed your family, in order to bring disaster to the east and frame Dugu Lianyu. The woman's casual words are well-documented, as if they were true.
The woman's bewitching words obviously played a role in Lin Qingqing, the Lin family is going to enter the WTO, she naturally understands the "grievances" between Dugu Lianyu and Dugu Liancheng, will it be as this woman said? But her heart is still shaken.
"What evidence is there?" asked Lin Qingqing.
Hearing this, the woman secretly hooked her lips and smiled, she knew that she would definitely ask like this, and she was naturally prepared.
"What do you see your daddy is holding in his hand?"
Lin Qingqing's heart moved, he broke Lin Shaoyuan's clenched hand, and lying quietly in the palm of his hand was a token with a four-character engraved on it, which was a symbol of the prince of the Dayan Dynasty, could it really be Dugu Liancheng? Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing's hand holding the token became tighter and tighter, and his expression became more and more distorted by hatred.
"How can you help me get revenge?" Finally, Lin Qingqing said in a deep voice.
"Join us, and we'll naturally help you get your revenge. The woman said lightly, but she didn't know the weird curvature of the corners of her mouth in the dark night.
"Good. Lin Qingqing replied without hesitation.
Then the woman threw her a porcelain vase and said, "Swallow it, and we will make an agreement." ”
Lin Qingqing looked at the porcelain vase in her hand for a long time, and finally swallowed it without hesitation, as long as she could avenge the Lin family, even if she took this life, she would not give up.
It was only to her that she felt strange that when she swallowed the pill, a delicate and blood-colored flower slowly grew on her wrist............
