3 The Imperial City Chapter 129 The Thing on the Back
Canghai stood on the roof of the house, but felt a chill suddenly pass by, cold all over the body, looking around, frost covered the earth, and the surroundings became white in a moment, and his heart was terrified: "Just by breath, there is such a power of freezing heaven and earth, is this the king?"
Fan Buran sneered: "The majesty of the national ruler is so great, it has reached the point of ignoring the law of the country. ”
Chu Hanli took half a step forward, proudly faced Ding Jun, and said: "The lower officials think that they are doing things according to the law, even if the Lord of the Cloud Emperor is there in person, they are not ashamed of their hearts. If the king has hatred, even if he kills me. ”
Ding Jun's eyes flickered, and his breath became tighter and tighter. There was an atmosphere of tension in the main hall. Someone stepped forward to persuade with trepidation, Ding Jun only glared, and the man was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank back.
Just as this was about to happen, suddenly someone outside the door shouted, "Something!"
Everyone turned their heads to look, and a figure on the roof fell, swept straight into the hall, and with a snap, slapped a jailer next to Ding Yushuo. The jailer said nothing, turned and fled. The figure who entered the hall was Canghai, pointing at the escaped jailer and shouting, "He has something on his back." ”
It turned out that Canghai had been paying attention to what was happening in the hall on the eaves outside, and when Ding Jun and Fan Buran were facing each other, he suddenly found that a jailer was quietly approaching Ding Yushuo while everyone was not paying attention. In the eyes of others, the jailer was ordinary and unremarkable, so no one cared. Only in the state of continuous release of his mental power, Canghai found that there was a ball of things lying on his back, which looked like light smoke and water vapor, curled up, and it was vaguely visible that it was a humanoid appearance, which was so strange. Canghai immediately let out a loud cry and rushed in to stop it from attacking Ding Yushuo.
Ding Jun was holding back his anger, seeing that the jailer was fleeing quickly, obviously with a weak heart, at the moment his right palm aimed at his back and struck him afar, with a bang, the jailer had already run out of the door, and suddenly the whole person exploded and turned into a cloud of blood mist.
In the spread of blood and gas, there was a phantom shadow that jumped out, swaying from side to side, hiding behind the corner of the wall in three or two, waiting for everyone to react and chase out of the hall, the phantom had already disappeared into the night, and he didn't know where to go.
Ding Jun immediately issued an order to blockade Zhongcheng and make a carpet roundup. For a time, the fire shone in the city, and the shadows were chaotic. Canghai searched in the direction of the phantom's escape, but felt that its traces appeared from time to time, and after following a few corners alone, he finally couldn't find it again, so he had to return to the torture hall in a huff. But seeing that everyone looked confused, it was obvious that they still couldn't figure out what was going on. Only a few kings noticed something in that short moment, and Fan Buran said, "What is that?"
Canghai shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's like a person, but the form is extremely strange." ”
Fan Buran said curiously: "Do you see clearly?"
Canghai said: "It's just a rough outline." ”
Fan Buran exchanged glances with the second king of Mao Wu, looked a little surprised, looked him up and down, and said, "You are from the guard camp?"
Canghai Shili said: "In Xia Canghai, I am now serving under the tent of Shen Jianhub, the Ming Servant Scout Camp. This time, it was borrowed by the captain of the Piao guard for defense. ”
Mao Qinglian sighed and said, "You are the one who summoned Suo Po on Feihuang Mountain and broke the endless array of the abyss?"
Canghai's face was ashamed, and he said, "Wang Zun praised it. The technique of summoning Supo's predecessors has already been set up there, and the big array was also broken by him, but it has nothing to do with me. ”
Mao Qinglian smiled: "It's not arrogant, it's good, it's good, it's good for young people to be humble." I heard Feng'er mention you, that abyss endless was set up by King Qiliu of Jinliang Kingdom, with your cultivation, it is of course unrealistic to want to crack it yourself. But it is indeed your credit that Suva was able to be summoned. ”
Fan Buran said: "That thing is mysterious, hidden in the main hall, and we didn't even notice it, but you actually saw it." You're a bit of a weird kid. ”
Canghai said perfunctorily: "The cultivation in the next life happens to be long in this way." ”
Fan Buran said: "That's extremely rare. ”
Seeing that he looked at the bloodstains at the door from time to time, he was faintly worried, and asked, "What else did you find?"
Canghai nodded and said, "During this time, there were constantly dead people in the imperial city, and I have seen several dead people and am deeply impressed by their deaths. Just now, I saw that the gesture of the thing attached to the human body was very similar to the situation of the deceased in the case, so I was worried. ”
Fan Buran said, "Do you think that thing just now is the murderer?"
Canghai said: "Very likely. ”
Fan Buran said: "That thing has a strange shape, it is difficult to see with the naked eye, I am afraid it has nothing to do with Jin Liangguo." As he spoke, he glanced at Ding Yushuo and said, "Maybe someone deliberately put it in." ”
Ding Jun couldn't hear his voice, and said coldly: "If there is something to put out directly, don't just hide behind the yin and yang weirdness, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai." ”
Fan Buran said: "That's not as good as someone fornicating with a foreign enemy and stabbing a knife in the back." ”
Ding Jun has always advertised his family as a meritorious family, how could he stand such ridicule, and said angrily: "Who are you talking about!"
Fan Buran said: "Whoever fornicates with foreign enemies, I will say whom." ”
Ding Jun had to open his halberd, his internal strength was released, and he wanted to attack again. Mao Qinglian waved his hand and said, "Don't quarrel with the two of you." Now that the Imperial City is eventful, dangerous and unknown, the Lord is not there, we should have governed it to the peace of the wife, but now it is good, it has become unpleasant for our own people to make trouble with our own people, why bother?"
Wu Xiaoao also said: "Both of them are pillars of the country, don't hurt the harmony because of this." And Chu Shilang's trial was also based on the code, which is understandable. Since everyone can't argue, it's better to postpone this case and wait for my emperor to come back and make a decision, what do you think?"
Mao Qinglian said: "The East King's proposal is very good, I agree." ”
Ding Jun knew what they meant, the current situation was that everyone was equal in status, and no one could help anyone, but if Chu Hanli's verdict was agreed by Emperor Yun, then even if he was the ruler of the country, he would not have the courage to disobey the emperor's will. However, now, there is no other way but to delay time, and it depends on whether Emperor Yun will change the verdict. After all, the Ding family was a relative of the emperor, and he didn't believe that Emperor Yun would be so ruthless that he watched his nephew fall into this miserable field, and snorted coldly at the moment: "That's it." With a flick of his sleeve, he turned and walked away.
And so the crowd parted. Chu Hanli smiled helplessly, the three kings comforted a few words, and said some words of encouragement to Canghai, and then left one after another.
This night, the guard battalion searched all over the city, and people speculated.
Rao so, the mysterious thing is still nowhere to be seen.
The next day, Canghai returned to the scout camp and was about to report to Shen Jianhub about yesterday's guards, but Shen Jianhub waved his hand and said, "What you did yesterday was responsible for the guard camp, so you don't need to tell me." Come with me now, someone wants to see you. ”
Canghai was stunned for a moment and said, "Who wants to see me?"
Shen Jianhub didn't answer, and took him to the inner hall hall. When they reached the door, they looked into the hall and saw a man with his back to them, concentrating on the carvings on the wall.
