Chapter 214: The Missing Emperor Xuanwu (1)

Nalan Tianyue didn't know that Nalan Jiaqi was still counting on herself to save her.

She pretended to be Master Yue, and escorted Gu Jingyi into the palace with the spirit guard of Wanbao Pavilion.

Before, Peach Branch and Baozhu died in the Jade Void Palace, which was no longer suitable for living.

Baili Longyan arranged for Gu Jingyi to live in Feiyun Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs serving there were all his people.

"Jing Yi has seen His Royal Highness the War King!" Gu Jingyi heard Xiaoqing talk about the relationship between the eldest lady and His Royal Highness the War King, and she didn't even dare to raise her head when she saluted.

"Excuse me!"

Baili Longyan glanced at Gu Jingyi carefully and found that she did look similar to Gu Zixi, so she was not afraid of wearing a state.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Gu Jingyi got up and did Nalan Tianyue's side in a proper manner.

"Since you have entered the palace, you will be Gu Guifei in the future, and you don't have to salute this king."

Baili Longyan commanded.

"Yes." Gu Jingyi nodded.

"Zhishu, Zhili, come in!"

Baili Longyan shouted.

A pair of twin palace maids who looked exactly the same walked in, and they all saluted Baili Longyan and said, "The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness the War King. ”

Then he saluted Gu Jingyi and Nalan Tianyue respectively.

"The slave has seen the concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Jin'an."

"The slave has seen Master Moon, Master Good Day."

My sister is more calm, and my sister is more lively.

Both of them are well-informed and well-mannered people.

"Take Gu Guifei back to Feiyun Hall to rest, she has been frightened during this time, and she doesn't remember anything, you have to take good care of her!"

Bai Li Long Yan said meaningfully.

"Yes, the slave will definitely do her best to take care of the concubine."

Zhishu and Zhili responded in unison, and then said respectfully to Gu Jingyi, "Guifei Niangniang, please!" ”

Gu Jingyi glanced at Nalan Tianyue, and when she saw her nodding, she followed Zhishu and Zhili and left.

"Jingyi won't wear Bang!"

Although Nalan Tianyue has been comforting Gu Jingyi, she is still a little worried in her heart.

"This king is doing things, what else are you worried about."

Baili Longyan said with a smile.

As long as he says that Gu Jingyi is Gu Guifei, she is Gu Guifei.

"That's good."

Nalan Tianyue is still very relieved about Baili Longyan's ability to do things.

"By the way, what about the little demon fox you caught earlier?"

Baili Longyan asked.

"This palace has already sent that little demon fox back."

Nalan Tianyue told the demon clan about the urgent need for soul nourishing pills.

Baili Longyan thought for a while and said: "This king has heard from spies before that the demon clan has recently experienced atavism, and many cubs are born beasts, and they can't cultivate without the demon pill, it turns out that it is because of the injury of the fetus. ”

"This fetal light injury is congenital deficiency, if there is only one is the reason of the parents, if there are so many abnormal, it is likely that there is a big problem with the water and soil there."

Nalan Tianyue had seen a village in the Central Plains Continent before, which was kept captive by evil cultivators.

The land there is heavily polluted by ghosts, and the rice and vegetables grown are black.

The children born were also congenitally deficient and inhuman, and they were all taken by evil cultivators for alchemy.

"It seems that I have to go to the demon clan to have a look."

Baili Longyan said thoughtfully.

"I'm afraid that the demon clan won't welcome you to go, this palace heard the little demon fox say that the reason for the demon war back then was that the human race killed their demon king first, but is there such a thing?"

Nalan Tianyue asked.

"It's a long story."

Baili Longyan clearly didn't want to talk about this matter.

"Hongu has time."

Nalan Tianyue had to listen.

Baili Longyan hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this king really can't tell you the inside story." ”

He didn't say it for the sake of Nalan Tianyue.

It's already dangerous for her to help deal with the Demon Alliance.

He didn't want her to get into a more dangerous situation.

"If you don't say it, forget it."

In fact, not to mention Baili Longyan, Nalan Tianyue can also guess a little, which is definitely related to the demon patterns on his body.

Just when Baili Longyan wanted to open the topic, Chen Tie, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, hurriedly came in and said:

"Your Highness is not good, the emperor's body is gone."

"What?"

Baili Longyan's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but scold, "Do you Praetorian Guards eat soil, you can't even look at the emperor's corpse." ”

He told Chen Tie to guard the mourning hall, but something happened.

"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish Your Highness!"

A large drop of cold sweat broke out on Chen Tie's dark forehead, and he immediately knelt down on one knee and begged for mercy.

"Let's go to the mausoleum first."

Nalan Tianyue got up and said.

She also wanted to check the body of Emperor Xuanwu by the way when she entered the palace this time, but she didn't expect an accident.

"Let's go!"

Baili Longyan decided to come back and clean up Chen Tie.

Because Emperor Xuanwu died strangely, the body has not yet been buried in the mausoleum.

Previously, Baili Longyan was worried that there would be a problem with the corpse, so he built a underground tomb behind the mourning hall to place the coffin.

When the forbidden soldiers inspecting the palace saw Baili Longyan coming, they all shrank their necks in fright, without the slightest soldier's aura.

"These Praetorian Guards can't do it!"

Nalan Tianyue said lightly.

Although these Praetorian Guards are not spiritual guards, as people who practice martial arts, they do not have the demeanor of samurai, and they are no different from waste materials.

"In the past, this king has always paid little attention to the affairs of the palace, and he didn't expect the palace guards to be so useless."

In order to avoid suspicion before, Baili Longyan has been busy dealing with the Demon and Ghost Alliance, and he does not interfere in the government affairs of the Lei Kingdom.

Emperor Xuanwu attached great importance to spirits, and ordinary warriors were like ants in his eyes.

The same is true of these Janissaries.

Knowing that there was no hope of a future, these Praetorian Guards lived a passive life and did not want to make progress.

Usually it's okay and I can't see it, but I panic when something happens.

Although Baili Longyan had already made up his mind to rectify them, it was not immediately successful.

While the two were talking, they came to the mourning hall.

Chen Tie hurriedly opened the secret door and walked into the underground tomb first

The tomb was lit with a lantern, the gray stone wall shone with a faint light, and the coffin lid of the golden silk nanmu in the middle was abruptly removed.

"The subordinates sent someone down to inspect as usual in the morning, and found that the coffin lid was opened, and the emperor's body was gone."

Chen Tie told the situation again.

"What clues can you find?"

Baili Longyan asked.

Chen Tie's beads of sweat began to bubble up again, and Ai Ai said, "My subordinates are incompetent, and I haven't been able to find any clues." ”

"You are indeed incompetent!"

Baili Longyan scolded mercilessly.

Chen Tie plopped down and knelt down again, and said: "The subordinates found the best case catcher to investigate, and he said that there was no trace of outsiders entering the tomb, and only one person's footsteps left ......"

Chen Tie couldn't go on when he said this.

He felt that the head catcher was really ridiculous, could it be that the emperor himself walked out of the tomb.

"The head catcher is right, last night's footprints only went out and didn't come in."

Nalan Tianyue opened her ghost eyes and clearly saw that the floor of the tomb was covered with white footprints, which were traces of yang energy.

Inside the white footprints, a line of black footprints is particularly noticeable, leading from the burial chamber to the outside.

"Master Yue, did you say that the person who came in to steal the corpse deliberately wiped off the traces of his own entry?"

Chen Tie couldn't help but ask, he felt that this possibility was greater than the emperor going out himself.

"Look at this."

Nalan Tianyue pointed to the top of the coffin of the golden silk nanmu, which was where Emperor Xuanwu's head was resting.

Chen Tie looked at it carefully, but didn't find any clues, not even the dust.

"You touch it with your hand again."

Nalan Tianyue wanted to open the eyes of this Praetorian Guard commander.

Chen Tie looked at the terrifying and gloomy coffin and suddenly felt a little weak, and said tremblingly: "This is a dragon coffin, Weichen doesn't dare to touch it." ”

"If you want to touch it, you will touch it!"

Baili Longyan frowned.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Chen Tie immediately reached out and hastily touched the inside of the coffin, and was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand and shouted, "How sticky." ”

He spread out his hand and found that his palm actually had a layer of transparent mucus, like snot.

But the coffin was clearly empty.

"Stand still!"

Nalan Tianyue shot a talisman at Chen Tie's hand.

The talisman stuck to the slime and immediately burned itself.

Chen Tie was so frightened that he wanted to shout, but he swallowed it under the cold eyes of His Royal Highness the War King.

When the talisman burned out, the slime on his hand was gone, and his palm was intact.

"Let's go back!"

Nalan Tianyue gave Baili Longyan a look.

Baili Longyan knew that she had something to say in private.
