Chapter 181: If you live to see people, you must see corpses when you die
Mo Lingfeng was in a hurry, and regardless of what Mo Huaiyu said, he was about to go inside, but was stopped by Jiang Mengying.
"Ling Feng." She glanced at Mo Lingfeng and held his hand, "I'll go with you." ”
Mo Lingfeng said "um", and the two of them were about to go in, when suddenly a person walked in front of him, carrying a package in his hand, his head bowed, and his face was gloomy.
"Ding Weilan!" Mo Lingfeng was pleasantly surprised, "Are you okay?" ”
Although his father had promised just now that those assassins would not hurt Ding Weilan, Mo Lingfeng still didn't believe it, and now that he saw people standing here well, he was relieved.
Ding Weilan didn't answer him, walked straight to Mo Huaiyu, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I didn't know that the emperor came late at night, and he was not welcomed." ”
Mo Huaiyu's face froze, she sensed something.
"Bad luck tonight, let the palace be robbed, I didn't expect the emperor to come so soon, the emperor is really clever."
"Ding Weilan......" Mo Lingfeng also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and wanted to step forward to stop it, but the dream shadow was holding on tightly in his arms, and he couldn't move.
"The emperor's trick to invite you into the urn is very good, not to mention that now it has been caught, thanks to the emperor."
Mo Huaiyu laughed and said, "With me here, naturally I won't let you be wronged, these assassins are all evil killers, and now they have all been punished, I will cut off their heads and hang them at the entrance of the vegetable market for three days as a deterrent." ”
Ding Weilan nodded, smiled sarcastically, and did not speak.
The emperor used a plan, but she didn't know it at all.
What about Mo Lingfeng? Does he know?
She turned her head to look at Mo Lingfeng, Mo Lingfeng was holding Jiang Mengying in his arms, and glanced at her, Mo Lingfeng opened his mouth to say something, but Ding Weilan quickly took his gaze back.
"Listen to them, an assassin just died inside?" Mo Huaiyu looked at her tentatively, sounding like the assassin's death seemed very unusual.
Mo Huaiyu's heart was a little excited, no one had used the spell of the Soul Leaving Jade for a long time, Ding Weilan's mother exchanged the spell for Ding Weilan's protection, but looking at the entire palace, there was no one who could use the Soul Leaving Jade, only the true owner of the Soul Separation Jade could control it.
Just now, was it Ding Weilan who killed the assassin with a spell?
He looked at Ding Weilan as if he was looking at a huge treasure that had been developed.
If she couldn't control it all her life, she would be just a useless person to him, but now it's different.
"Oh, is the emperor talking about this......" Ding Weilan said, putting the burden in his hand in front of Mo Huaiyu and raising it.
Mo Lingfeng suddenly had a bad premonition.
The next moment, Ding Weilan threw the burden to the ground, and a round human head fell out.
The guards present couldn't help but feel sick.
The captured assassins' eyes widened, and they couldn't believe that such a weak woman would come out with a human head.
Didn't you say that Princess Qi was everyone's best girl? Not only was she not afraid when she saw such a bloody thing, but she even brought it out with her own hands!
Several of the assassins couldn't help but be afraid, if they had been one step slower just now, the head on the ground would probably be their own.
Mo Huaiyu was also startled, he looked at Ding Weilan, and saw that the other party's eyes seemed to have a disappointment in seeing through everything, and he suddenly felt a little weak, the reason why he didn't make a move was that he was waiting for Ding Weilan to use the Soul Separation Jade.
Legend has it that when the Soul Leaving Jade was in the far north, it was born in troubled times, bleeding thousands of miles, and resentful ghosts cried.
Therefore, he guessed whether it was only in such a situation that the Soul Leaving Jade would come into play.
He admitted that he was tempted, otherwise with the strength of his palace guards, these evil little minions would not have been able to enter the door of the palace at all.
In the end, it was the emperor, and no matter how much emotion he had, he didn't show it.
"The guards in the palace are really powerful, and they actually killed the assassin, and I want to be rewarded heavily."
"Really?" Ding Weilan smiled, "Then the concubine was cheeky enough to ask for a reward for them." ”
"What do you want?"
"I want 10,000 taels of silver and 1,000 taels of gold, and divide them equally with the guards in the palace."
The corners of Mo Huaiyu's mouth twitched, but he still reluctantly agreed. Silver is easy to obtain, gold costs a thousand taels, or for the guards in the palace, it is really a little reluctant to him.
But the words had already been released, and Mo Huaiyu couldn't go back, so he immediately agreed to Ding Weilan's request.
Now the assassins have all been arrested, including the body of the assassin in Tingyuxuan, who was in a different place, and was dragged away by the palace guards.
The palace returned to darkness, and under the faint moonlight, Ding Weilan slowly walked to Mo Lingfeng's side.
"Ding Weilan, are you okay?" Mo Lingfeng stretched out his hand, but when he saw her expression, he forcibly retracted his hand again, he had never seen such a terrifying look.
"Mo Lingfeng." Ding Weilan opened his mouth and asked, "Except for the guards in the palace, everyone else is guarding around, right?" ”
"Hmm." Mo Lingfeng nodded.
"What about them?"
"My father sent people to set up an ambush around the palace, and when he thought they were in the way, they all withdrew."
"You already knew the emperor's plan?"
"This king also knows." When he noticed that there were strangers coming in around, he had been ordered by his father not to run around, and he was worried to death just now, but he couldn't save people by rushing in, and maybe he would disturb his father's plan.
"It's fine now that you're alright."
"I'm fine." Ding Weilan sneered, "Lin Zhong is dead. ”
Mo Lingfeng couldn't laugh anymore.
"I was stabbed in the abdomen by an assassin, disemboweled, and killed on the spot, and now the body is gone, everyone is looking for it, I can't beat those assassins, and I have no idea, I heard that all the people in Yuxuan are not the opponents of that group of assassins, I pretended to go with them, waiting for someone to save me, Lin Zhong They were in a hurry, so they thought about fighting hard, and they ended up fighting for their lives."
She described calmly, without a single blame, but Mo Lingfeng felt that every sentence was blaming him.
Lin Zhong is his person, but after following Ding Weilan for so long, Ding Weilan has already regarded him as his own.
Ding Weilan took a deep breath, "Mo Lingfeng, help me find Lin Zhong, everyone is looking for it." ”
"Okay......" Mo Lingfeng didn't know what to say, so he had to agree, Ding Weilan didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to the courtyard, and didn't even look at Mo Lingfeng again.
Jiang Mengying was lying on Mo Lingfeng's chest, feeling a strong fear for the first time, the heavy smell of blood on Ding Weilan's body, and her flat expression, made her feel that she was a demon in hell, she had never felt so clearly that she was not an opponent.
Ding Weilan went back this time, and everyone was still looking non-stop, almost turning the entire palace upside down, but there was still no Lin Zhong, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
The little hope that had been born was also extinguished, and as the day dawned, everyone was exhausted, and they fell asleep in the courtyard, only a large blood stain on the ground, proving what had happened last night.
After such a big incident, everyone was depressed and had no motivation to do anything, but they still managed to clean up Tingyuxuan and find some of Lin Zhong's old clothes.
The person is gone, but his hope of living is also very slim, some people propose to make a clothed mound first, how much there is a thought, but some people feel that the person has not been found, what if he is not dead? Engaging in these unlucky things now is not cursing others.
So there was a disagreement between the two groups of people with different opinions, and gradually they began to quarrel, arguing and arguing and almost doing something, and finally Ding Weilan scolded them and stopped their nonsense.
Both sides had red circles in their eyes, and looked back at Ding Weilan, as if waiting for her decision.
Ding Weilan glanced at those old clothes, and felt very uncomfortable.
"Leave it alone, find someone and then say, live to see people and die to see corpses!"
"The princess is right!" The one who advocated looking for someone raised his chin at the other party, and the other side didn't speak, if they could really find it, why didn't they want to find it.
Mo Huaiyu spoke and counted, and sure enough, he hung the heads of those assassins at the entrance of the vegetable market to show the public, except for the one that Ding Weilan cut off with his own hands, because the method was so cruel that he couldn't see his facial features clearly.
It is the liveliest place in the Imperial City, and it is also a gathering place for all kinds of information, and some forces hiding in the crowd will definitely be intimidated.
When Ding Weilan heard the news, she realized that she understood the emperor's intentions, it turned out that the emperor gave her a spell, but she used it as bait to catch big fish.
Even if you can't catch a big fish, catching one or two typical ones and using them to set an example for chickens and monkeys can be regarded as a deterrent.
Just, why keep her in the dark?
Although the emperor's move can be regarded as to protect her from harm, this feeling of being used as a pawn is really unpleasant!
In addition, she hated herself for not being smart enough, and she didn't see this earlier.
Uncle Huang is right, he can't keep himself, how can he keep the people around him?
She was also depressed for two days, not only for Lin Zhong's affairs, but also hated this feeling of powerlessness that she couldn't do anything.
Now that an assassin has come to the door, it means that the matter of leaving the soul jade has been spread, maybe there are more forces targeting her, the emperor can keep her this time, can he still keep it next time? What's more, the emperor's protection law, she really didn't dare to compliment.
Ding Weilan thought for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more anxious she felt.
Suddenly, there was a smell of fragrance next to him, and when he looked back, it turned out that Qingying had brought the food.
"Miss, it's time to eat." Qing Ying put down the food and sat down next to Ding Weilan.
"Are they still looking for someone?"
Qing Ying nodded, "Half of the people have already taken leave with the prince to look for it outside, and the prince has also asked for help from the guards in the palace." ”
Ding Weilan didn't have much hope, she disappeared out of thin air, how could it be so easy to find it, she began to think in the direction of fantasy, after all, she also came through.
Could it have something to do with the Soul Leaving Jade?
Ding Weilan's heart moved, and he took out the soul leaving jade, but only one word in an infinite loop appeared in his mind: kill!
Killing, endless killing.
Just like the Assassin last night, she didn't do anything, and the Assassin died.
With such power, whose life does she want to take, isn't it like picking up something?
Ding Weilan was suddenly frightened by her own idea.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Qing Ying waved her hand in front of Ding Weilan.
"Why is your face so ugly?"
In fact, it's not just ugly, it's a bit ...... Horror, Qing Ying didn't dare to say it.
"Nothing." Ding Weilan didn't dare to tell Qing Ying that she had the idea of killing.
"Miss......" Qing Ying swallowed her saliva and asked with some hesitation, "That assassin's head, did you really cut it off with your own hands?" ”
"What?" A trace of confusion flashed in Ding Weilan's eyes, and then he slowly came back to his senses before looking at Qing Ying in horror.
"Oh my God......" she muttered in a low voice, slowly raised her hands, and sure enough, there was a layer of dark red on her originally white and pure hands, and she was in a trance in her mind, and suddenly remembered the scene in front of her, and then her stomach churned.
"Gross!"
"Miss, are you alright?" Qing Ying hurriedly stepped forward to check and patted her on the back again.
Ding Weilan took a long time to recover, tears were squeezed out of her eyes, but she only spit out some sour water.
Qing Ying found water to rinse her mouth again, she spit out the water and waved her hand at Qing Ying, "Don't mention this matter again in the future." ”
