Chapter 223: Something Different
Chu Xingyue rested in the bamboo forest for almost half an hour, and then gradually regained some strength, and walked outside with Yuan Feng's support.
"I really didn't expect that Zhuo Lang was quite familiar with my clan's formation, and he actually laid out a large array of four elephants in this bamboo forest, it seems that he was really worried that someone would break in and disturb him."
Chu Xingyue naturally didn't understand the formation of the Tianding clan, and when he heard Yuan Feng say this, he then asked, "Four Elephant Great Array?" Is it a powerful formation? ”
"In my clan, the Four Elephants Great Array can only be regarded as mediocre, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it can be regarded as powerful; This formation is quite mysterious, and it is not so simple to arrange it, and it is generally used for hiding and concealment. ”
After Yuan Feng's explanation, Chu Xingyue also understood a little; Thinking about the purpose of this large array, I can more or less understand the reason why Zhuo Lang and Wuchen both favor this formation.
At the beginning, Wuchen set up this array in the Zhigui Forest to protect and cover Concubine Yang's tomb, while Zhuo Lang laid this array in the Li Mansion to protect himself; I really didn't expect that in just about two months, she would see the four elephants twice; One is in the capital, and the other is Jeju City, which is hundreds of miles away, which can be regarded as fate.
However, when it came to Li Fu Chu Xingyue, he thought of Li Yuan, and hurriedly pushed Yuan Feng beside him, and said: "Li Yuan was here just now, this guy looked at me very wrongly, I always felt that he seemed to know something, this person definitely can't stay, we must quickly find a way to solve him." ”
Yuan Feng's favorability towards the Li Mansion had dropped to the lowest at the moment, as long as he thought that Li Yuan actually harbored the culprit who killed their clansmen, he hated to set fire to burn the entire Li Mansion to ashes.
"Young master, rest assured, Li Yuan's subordinates will definitely not let go."
After speaking, Yuan Feng took out the letterhead found from Li Yuan's study from his arms and sent it to Chu Xingyue, "This is evidence of the communication between Empress Jiang and Li Yuan, young master, please put it away." ”
Chu Xingyue didn't expect that the evidence of Jiang's guilt would be found by Yuan Feng, she was still singing in her heart, she immediately swept away the haze in her heart, and took the letterhead with a smile, "Okay, Yuan Feng, I really didn't hurt you in vain, your young master, you are quite useful at the critical moment, I didn't find this thing before you found it." ”
Seeing Chu Xingyue's smiling eyebrows and eyes, Yuan Feng was also in a much more relaxed mood, and said shyly like a big boy, "It's an honor for my subordinates to share the worries of the young master." ”
"Okay, he's sensible." Chu Xingyue simply looked at Yuan Feng and was more satisfied with this kid.
I deeply felt that the elders of this clan sent Yuan Feng out to find her, which was really the wisest decision.
"Now that we've found the letterhead, the rest is human."
Chu Xingyue winked at Yuan Feng and said, "Let's go, go to Li Yuan to settle accounts." ”
After speaking, Chu Xingyue took Yuan Feng's hand and strode towards the front yard.
It's just that what Chu Xingyue didn't expect was that they were shocked by the situation of being disrupted by the courtyard as soon as they came to the vicinity of the front yard.
Seeing the hurried and miserable-looking subordinates rushing in the same direction as if they had lost their backbones, Chu Xingyue immediately realized that something must have happened.
Quickly grabbed a little guy passing by her, and asked, "What's wrong?" Everyone is in a hurry, is there something wrong? ”
The little guy saw that Chu Xingyue was wearing the clothes of the people in the house, so he also regarded her as a person in the house, and said, "Don't you know yet? Our lord was killed. ”
"What?" Chu Xingyue was so shocked that she almost jumped up from the ground.
This can't be?!
Half an hour ago, she had seen Li Yuan in the bamboo forest, and at that time, the bastard still had a ruddy complexion and a full of energy, and at first glance he was not short-lived; Besides, he has other masters around him to protect him, how could he die in the blink of an eye?
"Are you sure? Are you sure the lord is dead? ”
Hearing Chu Xingyue's question, the little guy looked helpless and said, "How dare I joke about this kind of thing, don't you see that there is already chaos in our house?" Listening to the people who were waiting near the study, the old man died miserably, bleeding and dying, and the housekeeper in the house had informed the lady, after all, the lady was a woman's family, after hearing the news of the master's death, he was shocked on the spot, and he didn't wake up until now. Okay, okay, I won't tell you more, now the whole house is panicked, and I don't know what to do. ”
Looking at the figure of the little guy who hurriedly ran away after saying this, Chu Xingyue took Yuan Feng's hand and looked at him silently.
As soon as she saw Chu Xingyue's expression, Yuan Feng knew what she was suspicious of, and hurriedly said, "Young master, I didn't kill Li Yuan, I haven't even seen his face." ”
Chu Xingyue patted Yuan Feng on the shoulder and said, "Of course I know that you didn't kill him, I suspect it's that person." ”
"The young master suspects that it is Zhuo Lang?"
Chu Xingyue handed Yuan Feng a smart look, supported his chin with one hand, and said: "Zhuo Lang is a person, but even beasts will sigh at what he can do, in his eyes, except for his own life is a precious one, he has never looked at other people's lives; Basically, he can kill whoever he wants, cold-blooded and selfish, but what I can't understand is why Zhuo Lang wants to kill Li Yuan? Strictly speaking, it was Li Yuan who saved him and gave him a place to live, didn't he? ”
Hearing Chu Xingyue say this, Yuan Feng let out a cold sneer, "Since you said that Zhuo Lang is a beast, young master, how can we understand the thoughts of beasts thoroughly; Li Yuan is not a good person, and Zhuo Lang is not a good thing, the two collude together, there is some kind of deal on a regular basis, if the transaction is not successful, it is understandable that he killed someone. ”
With Yuan Feng's explanation, Chu Xingyue nodded in agreement.
"It's just that what makes me curious is how Zhuo Lang killed Li Yuan."
Chu Xingyue looked at Yuan Feng, who said this, and asked, "What?" Would you like to check it out? ”
Yuan Feng has his own plans, since it has now been determined that Zhuo Lang is the murderer who killed countless of their clansmen back then, then he must do everything possible to understand him well, so that he can not fall behind in the future confrontation.
Obviously, Chu Xingyue also saw Yuan Feng's plan, and immediately said chicly, "Go and take a look, I'll wait for you here." ”
Yuan Feng was reluctant to leave Chu Xingyue alone, but seeing that she seemed to be a little weak in her legs and feet, he thought that it would be better to let her rest for a while.
So, he hid Chu Xingyue in the boulder gap of the rockery, and explained to her repeatedly, "Young master, you hide here, don't run around, and go back if you go down." ”
Chu Xingyue nodded obediently, and watched Yuan Feng leave.
……
After half a pillar of incense, when Yuan Feng came back from the study and found Chu Xingyue, his face was cold, and he looked quite worried at first glance.
Chu Xingyue's physical strength had almost recovered, and she was looking through the letterhead that Yuan Feng handed her to her, and when she saw his face, she hurriedly put away the matter at hand, and looked at him worriedly, "What's wrong?" Is there anything else on Li Yuan's side? ”
Yuan Feng looked at Chu Xingyue who was silent quietly, and the chaotic light and fire in the courtyard were reflected in his clear eyes, but under his eyes, there were suppressed emotions.
"Li Yuan's body has been covered with a white cloth, and there are guards in the courtyard around the study, so I can't get close, so I didn't see his body."
"And what do you mean by that expression? If you can't see it, you can't see it, anyway, as long as he's dead, our goal will be achieved. ”
Yuan Feng glanced at Chu Xingyue with a struggle on his face.
Chu Xingyue couldn't stand the fact that the people around her were showing her this appearance, they were simply hanging her appetite, "You are talking, what happened during the time you left?" ”
Yuan Feng didn't want to scare Chu Xingyue, but seeing her chasing after her, he also knew that he couldn't hide it from her.
"Young master, you have to be mentally prepared, what you see next is not a good thing."
Yuan Feng took out a long and slender jade bottle from his sleeve while waking Chu Xingyue up to wake up, and when the bottle mouth was opened, Chu Xingyue took a look, if Yuan Feng hadn't reached out to support her in time, I am afraid she would have been so frightened that she sat on the ground with weak legs.
"W-What is this?"
Chu Xingyue seemed to have hit a ghost, trembling her fingers and pointing at the jade bottle, the thing she saw in the bottle just now was like a maggot that eats bones deeply in Chu Xingyue's heart.
It turned out that in that bottle, it was actually a fat and fat living thing.
At first glance, it looked like a centipede, with a long body, many hands and feet, but if you look closely, it is even more terrifying than a centipede; Because the ordinary centipede is not the color of the whole body, but the living creature is red and purple, round and chubby, like a fat big fat worm, and the whole body is like the sea with black fluff.
As long as he recalled what he had just seen in his mind, Chu Xingyue couldn't help but gause.
Seeing Chu Xingyue's uncomfortable appearance, Yuan Feng's expression was not much better, "The young master has not lived in the clan since he was a child, so naturally he doesn't know what this thing is; However, the people of my people are very familiar with this thing, because in the past there was such a terrible poisonous insect in the place where we lived. ”
"You said it was a poisonous insect, but since it was poison, why did you carry it with you?"
"Young master, this poisonous insect was found by his subordinates near Li Yuan's body just now, this poison is actually not big, but once it is full, it will become round and grow rapidly; And his favorite food is the human brain. ”
Brain?
Chu Xingyue immediately thought of Li Yuan, and her originally snow-white face immediately turned pale.
I really didn't expect that Zhuo Lang would be so perverted to such an extent now, and he would use such cruel means to kill people.
No, if it was just a poisonous insect that would not have shocked Yuan Feng like this, there must be other reasons in it.
Chu Xingyue is also an extremely smart person, and with a turn of his mind, he immediately understood why Yuan Feng had become such a lost and depressed appearance after he came back.
It turned out that Zhuo Lang chose to kill Li Yuan in this way, for this!
