Gu Qingyan said goodbye to Lao Yi and went to Xiaolinzi with Beiming. Although the body was disposed of, as long as there was a fight, there should be some effort to find traces.

Walking and walking, Gu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh softly. From the beginning to the end, they only knew that someone had infiltrated the stone gate, and although they had a guess, there was no tangible evidence to prove their suspicion.

Beiming knew what Gu Qingyan was thinking in his heart, and he couldn't find words to be relieved, so he could only follow silently. After entering the small forest, the two of them went to the place where the bodies of the people had been found, and after all these days, the forest had already returned to its original quiet, as if nothing had happened.

"Master." Beiming called out to stop Gu Qingyan.

He found a mark on a tree that had been strangled by something.

"And this." Beiming carefully searched around the strangle, and finally saw a small mark next to the strangle.

Gu Qingyan heard the sound and looked at the place pointed by Beiming, and there was a blood mark at the foot of the tree that only the peach blossom stream knew.

Blood marks, when the person of Peach Blossom Stream is unexpectedly threatened, he will leave a peach blossom shape pressed with blood at his last location, so as to leave a message for his companion or Peach Blossom Stream explorer who will find him later.

The bloodstains had long since dried up, almost blending in with the color of the tree trunk, and Gu Qingyan couldn't tell what the exact meaning of the bloodstains was meant to be.

"The petals are one petal off." It's easy to tell, Gu Qingyan said.

The poor petal is not a blood stain that has dried up, nor is it that a person has choked before he has touched that petal, but on purpose.

After hearing this, Beiming raised his eyes and looked around, thought about the place he went to just now, and said, "There are no traces of blood in these places!"

Finding the blood stains can confirm that the victim is the person from Shimen, and since it is the person from Shimen, it is impossible that there has not been a fight, and if there is a fight, then where is the bloodstain.

The corpses were scattered in the forest, Gu Qingyan and Beiming came to this conclusion, and continued to expand the scope of their search.

"This one here should be the one with a breath left." Only the blood marks here indicate that the person was still conscious at the time of the mark.

Gu Qingyan nodded and said, "Look around here first."

Gu Qingyan worked lightly on the soles of his feet and went up to the treetops, there are woods and paths nearby, and there are no traces of a fight, although the environment is suitable for ambushes, it is also not suitable for attacking.

Standing on the tree, Gu Qingyan was thinking, where could he kill the long-trained Shimen secret guard, and there should not be too many people on the other side, which can be seen from the current situation in Shimen. It's just that the other party is hiding too well, and Gu Qingyan can't know the specific number of people.

Beiming took this place as the center, searched around, and found a place under the tree that seemed to be buried something, Beiming squatted down, opened it with both hands, and saw that there were flying thorns buried in the soil.

Beiming looked at Gu Qingyan with a flying thorn, Gu Qingyan leaned down from the tree and took the flying thorn: "Send a few people privately, rummage through the forest to find them, and bury them well."

Originally, there were many ill-fated people in Shimen, and they were still in the barren forest after death, Gu Qingyan couldn't bear it, she didn't know the first time the incident happened, and how much she could make up for it.

Beiming received the order and said, "The subordinates who have family members will also arrange it."

Gu Qingyan snorted, did not speak, and the word "no return" on the flying thorn ignited the fire in her eyes, and squeezed the flying thorn tightly in her hand.

"Master, do you want to do it first?" Beiming asked.

Gu Qingyan thought for a while, and said to Beiming in a cold voice: "No, go back and send a message to King Yu, no matter what method you use, let Ye Jinliang come with him to see the Shimen trial."

Bei Ming responded, thinking that Gu Qingyan wanted to use Ye Jinliang's mouth to beat those who were related to Fu Tu but were arrogant.

Back at Shimen, Gu Qingyan went back to the room first, wrote a letter to King Yu, and asked Beiming to send someone to deliver the letter to King Yu quickly.

King Yu was sitting in the house, and the letter came, and the tone of the letter was not very good, and King Yu didn't know what was going on, so he asked the secret guard who sent the letter.

The dark guard shook his head and said that he didn't know, and King Yu couldn't ask, so he just stopped.

While thinking to himself, he called the close guard Fengxi: "Go to the Yong'an Hou Mansion to spread the word, Ye Jinliang, the prince of Yong'an, will travel with the king this time in the Peach Blossom Stream."

After saying that, he thought about it again, Gu Qingyan didn't give him a reason, but he had to give the Yong'an Hou Mansion a reason, after all, he couldn't be a teacher, so he stopped Fengxi again: "Wait, if they ask you the reason in private, just say that this king intends to give Taohuajian a business, and let Ye Jinliang accompany him for reference."

Yong'an Hou Xiaoshizi is away from home all day long, and most people think that he is doing business outside, which is an excuse that makes sense.

Fengxi took the order, leaving King Yu alone in the study, thinking about meeting Gu Qingyan head-on this time, and the answer should be given to her.

Since Gu Qingyan's request made a month ago, he has also discussed it with the imperial capital, if he agrees like this, who can guarantee that Peach Blossom Stream will not be the second floating in the future, they are not without suspicion. Secondly, he has selfish intentions, in the end, Gu Qingyan has the same blood as them, how can this relationship be broken, according to Gu Qingyan's words, the last thing she did was to make herself disappear, as long as she thought about it, King Yu had already felt a pain in his heart.

Thinking of this, King Yu sighed helplessly. Forget it, leave it all to heaven and time.

The Yong'an Hou Mansion was not too far from the Yuwang Mansion, so it didn't take long to see Yong'an Hou and Fengxi standing in the hall talking.

When the Marquis of Yong'an heard that King Yu wanted his son to accompany him, he was speechless for a while.

Fengxi said: "Is there something difficult about Master Hou?"

Yong'an Hou smiled: "Lord Fengxi, forgive me, my little boy went out a few days ago, and I don't know when I will be able to come back......"

"Oh? That is not a coincidence. "Although Fengxi is King Yu's close guard, he is full of aura in front of Yong'an Hou, and Yong'an Hou doesn't dare to look directly at him.

When the Marquis of Yong'an heard this, his heart trembled, who is the king of Yu, the current emperor's royal celebrity, the prince of the most extensive fiefdom among the princes, if he refuses it directly, the Yong'an Hou Mansion, which is already almost gone, is afraid that it will really be gone.

"Where, Lord Fengxi, it is a blessing for the child to be appreciated by the prince, the old man will write a letter to let the child come back, and he will definitely catch up with the prince's time."

"Well, that's good." After Fengxi finished speaking, he didn't stay long, and went back to Yuwang's Mansion to resume his life.

At night, Beiming also took the twelve ghost guards to search for those corpses in the forest, and one had been found at his feet, covered with a white cloth, Beiming looked at these brothers, although there were no waves on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about how to cut those who mixed into the stone gate with a thousand knives.

The big guy was busy for several hours, and Beiming remembered that he heard that there were wolves in this forest in Lao Yi during the day, and he didn't forget to remind everyone: "Be alert at night, and call in time when you see something else."

"Yes!" The crowd replied, and then began to search again.

After a night, everyone returned to Beiming, counted the number of people, and found a total of seven.

Beiming lifted the white cloth that was originally covered and asked twelve people to gather over: "Recognize first, if there are any people of your own."

Although the smell is unpleasant and the face is not like the original, the heart of the five flavors and miscellaneous tastes makes everyone identify them, and they claim them one by one, and Dong Xin's subordinates account for three people.

Turning around and facing Beiming, Dong Xin's expression was extremely ugly: "My subordinates are negligent, and I ask my son to punish him."

"The subordinates are negligent, please punish the son." The rest of the people also said.

Beiming helped up the half-kneeling Dong Xin, and motioned to the few people behind him to get up too: "Carry everyone back first, bury them well, and have a good family member's care, complete it as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes!"

"As for the punishment, after the trial, the master will decide." Beiming said.

Shimen has clear rewards and punishments, regardless of human feelings, so there is nothing to say, he only hopes that this matter will be over on the day of the trial, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Before the trial arrived, the training had to continue, Bei Ming said: "Go back to training, don't leak this matter, observe the people who replaced these brothers, and the team you lead will also investigate, and those who are abnormal will be marked immediately."

After speaking, Beiming took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Dong Xin, this is a kind of poisonous powder concocted by Gu Qingyan, which seems to be colorless and tasteless on some people's bodies, but it can provoke an inconspicuous butterfly to appear around it.

Gu Qingyan had already released those tracked butterflies into the Misty Forest, and the butterflies would help them find these people when the time came.

The sun slowly rose unconsciously, and Gu Qingyan came to the training ground to meet Beiming, who had returned not long ago: "It's all arranged?"

"Yes." Beiming came to Gu Qingyan's side.

"Well, Xi Jue and Nan Ke don't need to know about this matter, let them go back the night before the trial." If you want these two people to know, it means that Zong Yue and Baili Mo know, so you should treat it as nothing in front of them.

In the blink of an eye, the day of inventory is getting closer and closer, and Qingquan Villa is also preparing to set off for Peach Blossom Stream in two days.

Han Yan was packing up his things when he saw He Jing coming over: "Mother."

He Jing held a package in her hand, put it on the table, and said to Han Yan: "This is for Qingyan's girl, she didn't catch up with her on her birthday, and she didn't let her bring it not long ago because she had to travel to several places, this time you bring it to her."

Gu Qingyan's birthday is August 23, everyone remembers this day, but rarely gives it to her, after all, she can't get together, so she has to give gifts instead.

"What is this?" Han Yan asked.

He Jing opened the package and said, "That girl never knows how to take care of herself, and she doesn't wear a lot in winter for convenience." On that day, Master Qu came, and I asked him to make a cloak. ”

Although Gu Qingyan is not worried about food and clothing, He Jing really loves Gu Qingyan as her daughter.

Han Yan accepted the package and said that he would convey his mother's meaning.

"Don't just convey what I mean, you understand?" He Jing said.

Han Yan naturally knew what it meant, smiled lightly, took his mother's hand, looked at He Jing well, and said, "Mother, look at Gu Qingyan like that, it's not the time yet, let it be."

Although Han Yan didn't give her a clear reply, she didn't deny it, and He Jing was relieved when she saw this. Thinking of another girl in the villa, He Jing asked Han Yan: "Do you want to go with you to explore the snow?"

"I mentioned it a few days ago, but I just ......" Han Yan looked at his mother, as if seeking an answer.

"Well, if she wants to go, take her there. I can also see that Tanxue's temperament is not really so quiet. She wants to go out for a walk, and maybe it's a good thing. ”

Han Yan was about to respond, He Jing continued: "It's just a point, she is not allowed to have an accident, otherwise she will ask you."

Han Yan responded with a smile, chatted briefly with He Jing for a while, and then sent He Jing away.
