474. 183 Search in blood
As soon as Mo Huai's voice fell, the movements in Hua Qingmo's hands were obviously stagnant, and then they resumed as before. Slowly raising her head, Hua Qingmo's eyes stared ahead, her voice was gentle and shallow, but there was a hint of meaningful smile.
"Tomorrow? Lan Yan: They are really fast. After finishing speaking, Hua Qingmo looked at Mo Huai. Mo Huai, you get up first. ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Mo Huai spoke respectfully, and then stood up. The lights were brilliant, and among the four-clawed pythons embroidered with his brocade robe, the gold thread was brilliant and the silver thread was indifferent, as if the brilliance of the sun and the moon were blended together. And his cold face, under the warm candlelight, seemed to be softer.
"Although the Xiaoyao Kingdom and the Tianyuan Dynasty will invade the East Sage today, it will take some time for this news to reach Chu Xuanxiao's ears from the border pass, and Chu Xuanxiao should stay in the East Customs to rest the army in the next few days." Hua Qingmo spoke, and her voice was as gentle as the bright orange-yellow candlelight in the room.
Hearing Hua Qingmo's words, a trace of calmness appeared on Mo Huai's cold face. He spoke, and his voice was his usual coldness: "The subordinates will order to go down, and the Ouchi secret agent will always monitor the Eastern Sage army and the imperial court army." ”
"Hmmm! That's great. Hua Qingmo nodded, and then thought of Chu Yanqian, and her voice was much heavier than just now: "In any case, the monitoring of Chu Shizi must not be relaxed at all times, and he will come to report immediately if he has any changes." Mo Huai, Qing Mo wants to send you and Liujing to spy on him. ”
"Madam, before leaving, the Overseer instructed us to obey your orders, but the Overseer told his subordinates to remember that your safety is more important than your orders. Previously, you asked Mo Bo and Liu Jing to protect Young Master Yuqing, and now you let your subordinates and Liu Jing monitor Chu Shizi, so that Liu Xuan is the only one left to secretly protect his wife, and his subordinates are worried about his wife's safety. "Although Mo Huai will not disobey Hua Qingmo's orders, their master is Bai Zixiao, and Bai Zixiao's order is the highest priority and most important. Therefore, in their opinion, Hua Qingmo's life is more important than anything.
"You don't have to worry about me, there are very few people in the world who can hurt me now." When Hua Qingmo heard Mo Huai's words, she immediately laughed gently, her smile was peaceful and calm, like a blue sky and white clouds, and a lonely peak and a cool night. Her eyebrows and eyes are beautiful and picturesque, but she vaguely reveals a temperament that is proud of the world. "The martial arts of the inner secret agent are not weak, but in front of Chu Yanqian, he is like an ant, it is more difficult to defeat than to succeed, but if you go with Liujing, I will be able to feel at ease a little, with your martial arts attainments, you will definitely be able to monitor Chu Yanqian well."
Hua Qingmo knew Mo Huai's worries and considerations, but now that the situation is urgent, it is most important to keep track of Chu Yanqian's whereabouts at all times.
Moreover, in a few more days, she would be able to complete the antidote before these people were poisoned. It's just Chu Yanqian and Situ Heng, their whereabouts must be well controlled, otherwise once something happens, she won't be able to take care of it at all. Therefore, one qiē must be counted in order for her purpose to be achieved.
Hua Qingmo opened her mouth like this, and Mo Huai naturally wouldn't speak again and disobey. But fortunately, in addition to them, the Overseer arranged for someone else to secretly protect the lady, otherwise if something happened to the lady, the lives of these people would definitely be in danger.
It's just that he has always wondered why the Overseer asked them to protect his wife secretly? But they also asked them not to act lightly, unless the lady was really dying.
"Madam's words, the subordinates understood, and the subordinates went to the two of them to spy on Chu Shizi secretly." Mo Huai knelt down and bowed, then left the room.
Subsequently, Hua Qingmo continued to configure the antidote, she hoped to solve this qiē before the end of the day, at least not to let the corpses of the East Customs here be all over the field and the blood would flow like a river.
After Chu Xuanxiao's army entered the East Customs, he did not do anything to disturb the people, but just went back and forth in the streets of the East Customs day and night, as if he was looking for something. Chu Yanqian still lived in the Xuanyuan Pavilion with Yun Qianmeng and his four concubines, as if they had come out to play.
It's just that the big inner secret agent who is secretly monitoring them came to tell him that Chu Xuanxiao has stayed with Yun Qianmeng day and night these days, and has not seen other concubines again. The guards of the pavilion were even tighter than before, except for the waiting maids, the others had been blocked by the ironclad knights when they approached a distance of twenty meters from the attic.
Such a strange appearance made Hua Qingmo feel more and more weird, in the streets searched by the Eastern Sage Army, Hua Qingmo personally went to check, but found an extremely interesting but strange thing. However, because she was not sure, she checked all the streets searched by the Eastern Sage Army, and the result was that the smell of blood remained in those streets.
However, the smell of blood has been treated, and it is covered with other scents, and ordinary people and others cannot detect it at all. And her sense of smell is keen, and she often mixes perfumes, so she can detect the smell of blood from those fragrances and discover the universe.
After knowing this, Hua Qingmo asked the cat and the cloud evil to follow her, and secretly followed one of the Eastern Saint armies from dawn.
When they reached a street, the soldiers stopped and drove the people away, but no one was hurt. As soon as the people left, the Eastern Saint soldiers stood guard in all parts of the street to prevent the people from approaching.
And when it was confirmed that there was no one else, the leader of the general, who was wearing black armor and a red cloak, took out a red porcelain white magnolia and gold porcelain vase.
Although Hua Qingmo and the others were some distance away from the general, Hua Qingmo had been watching with her abilities. Therefore, what others can't see, she can see very clearly. In the mouth of the red porcelain white magnolia painted gold porcelain bottle, there was unwiped blood.
Such a discovery made Hua Qingmo's heart heavy, and the smell of blood seemed to be the smell of human blood.
"If you look closely, you can't let anyone find it." The general holding the porcelain vase suddenly spoke, his voice full of coldness and solemnity.
"Yes, General." The soldier obeyed the general's order and double-checked for idlers and so on. After three confirmations, the general opened the cap of the porcelain bottle and poured the contents out to the ground.
The viscous and bright red liquid slowly fell to the ground, and the smell of blood suddenly lingered around the street like white smoke, and the bright red color contrasted with the brownish-yellow soil color, which was particularly strange.
After that, about a quarter of an hour later, the soldiers buried the blood-stained soil and covered it, and lit incense nearby to ward off the smell of blood. Immediately, they walked forward about five meters and continued their previous movements.
This repeated itself throughout the day, and it was not until late evening that the soldiers returned to their barracks. But as soon as they returned to the barracks, the other soldiers left the barracks.
Seeing this scene, Hua Qingmo looked at Yun Xie and commanded: "Yun Xie, you go and follow the soldiers all the way to see if they still repeat what they did during the day?" ”
"Yes, young master." Yun Xie heard Hua Qingmo's order and immediately followed those soldiers away.
Then, Hua Qingmo looked at the cat, her voice was gentle but quiet and a little weird: "Mao'er, our soldiers are divided into two ways to check in the Dongsheng military camp, you have a keen senses, I believe you have long known that the blood they use is the blood of the living." ”
"Well, the cat sniffed out." The cat nodded, and a hint of gloom appeared on her indifferent and beautiful face.
They had followed the soldiers for a day, and they had used at least five of the same porcelain vases. When she returned to the barracks just now, she took a cursory look and saw that there were about a dozen groups of soldiers who went out to search during the day, and more at night than during the day. They must all have a similar amount of blood in their hands, in the end...... Where did all this blood come from?
Looking at Hua Qingmo, an indescribable smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the cat's lips. Hopeless, lonely, confused, helpless, like clinging to the side of an unknown abyss, unable to see behind you, unable to find the way forward, confused to the extreme.
"Young lord, isn't it because you love the people that you are a monarch? The cat didn't believe that the blood in the hands of these people was falling from the sky, and it must have flowed from the living people. If this blood was useful to the Eastern Holy Society, the cat would naturally not say anything, but what are they, those people doing? The cat's voice was still cold, but with a hint of trembling.
She has killed so many people, naturally she doesn't feel scared or anything because of this killing, she just doesn't like it, she doesn't like those people wantonly trampling on the lives of innocent people. And she thinks that those who are used for bloodletting are the people of Dongsheng, and they gallop on the battlefield with sixteen horsemen, don't they also want to calm the scourge of war and let the people live and work in peace and contentment?
Hearing the cat's words, Hua Qingmo just smiled lightly, and her beautiful face seemed to bloom in the dark, and she was desperate for a while. She stretched out her hand and patted the cat's shoulder, her voice was gentle but there was no tenderness at all: "Cat, Chu Xuanxiao did this because he had a more important reason, otherwise why do you think he would do such a thing here?" However, having a reason does not excuse killing, just like war, although there are great reasons, but it cannot hide the fact that the two armies kill each other. Still, I was curious to know who the bleeding were for the living. ”
"Yes, young master, the cat understands, and the cat will go to search all over the barracks." The cat agrees with Hua Qingmo's words, even if they have always killed people for a reason, but that can't hide the fact that they killed people.
"Well, we'll meet here in two hours." Hua Qingmo nodded, and her voice remained gentle: "So much blood, at least tens of thousands of people are needed." But there should be more than one place to hold tens of thousands of people alive, and if I am right, we will be rewarded if we follow the smell of blood, or search the place where the incense is particularly strong in the barracks. ”
"Yes, young master."
After leaving with the cat, Hua Qingmo did not search around the barracks in a hurry, but walked around the barracks and became familiar with the Dongsheng Barracks first.
