Gu Fuwei rarely showed such anger in front of his subordinates.
Xi Lin didn't dare to squeak anymore, silently watched Gu Fuwei standing in front of the scroll, her face quickly became dull again, and after admiring it for a while, there was a trace of pleasure in her eyes. "Pass Xu Xiao over."
After leaving the lamp and being imprisoned, Xi Lin was responsible for infiltrating Dali Temple, and Xu Xiao was responsible for arming the elite and going to arrest the person who stole the corpse.
When the person who robbed the corpse was caught, Gu Fuwei would cut his throat, cut off his arms, and fake it as a fight, so that he could not speak or write.
took Liu Yan's body and went to Dali Temple to confess his guilt and ambush him.
Gu Fuwei has been paying attention to the news from Xu Xiao's side, and after asking about the situation of Lizhan, he has to recruit Xu Xiao, and he probably won't sleep in the second half of the night.
Celine promised to pass Xu Xiao over, and Steward Yang also participated in the arrest, so she came with her.
"Any news?"
Xu Xiao knelt in front of Gu Fuwei, hugged his fists and said: "Back to Your Highness, although I haven't caught the corpse thief yet, that guy has really stayed in the capital for a long time, and his subordinates have found some clues!" ”
"You say."
"The subordinates first thought that since this person might be coming to King Qi's mansion, maybe the old nest was coiled near the mansion to inquire about the current situation of His Highness. As a result, people were sent to search the surrounding three miles, but to no avail. The subordinates expanded the scope and searched to ten miles, and finally found their nest on the edge of the south ten miles. ”
Steward Yang stroked his beard and echoed, "No wonder the people in the mansion are unaware, with the vigilance of hidden guards, if someone wanders around the Qi Wang's Mansion every day, they will definitely notice it." It can be seen how careful this group of people is. ”
"What did you find in the lair?" Gu Fuwei asked.
"When they returned to their Highness, they did not live in an inn, but in a house, and there was only one old man in that household, who had lost his children and had a vacancy in his house, so he took money and moved three or four rooms for them to live in. There are not many things left, they are all bedding and tea bowls, etc., not brought by themselves, they are all things from the old man's house, and I can't see the clue for a while. Only one, a little quirky. ”
With that, he pulled out a crockpot from his sleeve smaller than a slap. The clay pot is extremely delicate, the seal is a piece of wood, and the two ends are delicately embedded in the can, and the two ends must be squeezed at the same time to bounce up.
After Xu Xiao opened the wood chip, he handed it to Gu Fuwei with both hands.
He took it and looked at the pattern of the crockpot first, and the color was very smooth.
The top is purple floating yarn, the bottom is a cyan dark river, and there are villains in the middle, with weird smiles and lifelike.
He lowered his head and tilted the mouth of the crockpot against the white candle on the smoker rack, carefully illuminating it.
There are several butterflies fluttering on the inner wall, with slender wings and pink scales, competing for beauty and scorching brilliance.
He drank softly, and the butterfly's wings shook slightly, but there was no sign of take-off, and he was obviously dead.
"Your Highness, I look at the style of this crockpot, it seems to be from the Western Regions." Steward Yang said.
"The people of Hezheli. The river Zheli generation, there is a purple belt in the evening, and there is a dark river flowing like an ocean under the desert, and the pattern here is just in line. The king had seen such jars before, but ......"
Gu Fuwei stopped talking again, his expression grim.
This hook made Xu Xiao a little anxious, he just got this jar, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, he couldn't find any clues!
"Your Highness has ever seen such a jar? What can a jar of this size be used for, I'm afraid it's too small to even spit! The subordinate went down to cross the river Zheli, and the river Zheli was on the border of the mountains, forests and grasslands, and there were tribes at both ends. They come to hunt in autumn and graze in spring, and their lives are not exquisite. If there are one or two rich families who bring incense, in addition to dead insects, mosquitoes and flies, there should also be incense ashes. But there's only bugs in there! ”
Gu Fuwei paced and threw the jar into the basket, a mottled old image rising in his eyes.
"Qingyin Sect."
"Qingyin Sect!" Xu Xiao glanced into the basket again, and had some epiphany, but he was still incredulous.
There is an extremely poisonous sect in the Western Regions called the Qingyin Sect!
There is no unanimity among the people who join this sect. or strong martial arts, or extremely good at easy appearance, or very good at poison, each has its own skills, and can do anything.
Xu Xiao has also heard of it, and he has never fought with people from this strange organization.
It is rumored that whether they are good at martial arts, poison or good at appearance, they will inevitably have to deal with insects.
Those disciples with high martial arts skills did not learn from their teachers, but fed a kind of insect Gu to people with strong martial arts, and the Gu worm slowly grew up in the human body, and when the cocoon broke into a butterfly, that person died.
The butterfly lays eggs, and the eggs are fed into their own life, and when they slowly grow into worms, they can obtain the martial arts of masters......
This sounds very scary, Xu Xiao didn't believe it, but everyone in the rivers and lakes has a good reputation, and there have been masters who have been poisoned by the Qingyin Sect.
In addition, this Qingyin Sect's lair is in Hezheli, which is an underground palace surrounded by water on all sides.
Now His Highness recognized that the pattern of this jar was symbolized by the river Zheli, and there were many colorful butterflies in it, and the two coincided in one place, which made him feel shocked.
"Your Highness, is there really such an evil sect as the Qingyin Sect in this world?"
Gu Fuwei nodded: "I once captured a sect member alive, and the martial arts he knows are still the unique mastery of the supreme mage, the Ten Thousand Armed King Kong." The Supreme Master had been dead for more than two years at that time, and the cause of death was unknown, and the king estimated that this sect had a skill, which may have been learned secretly, or it may have something to do with the death of the mage. Originally, it was planned to dedicate the congregation to the Thousand Seal Temple, so that the temple people would be grateful to the king and dedicate themselves. But the sect member was already seriously injured at that time, the medicine stone was ineffective, and before he died, a butterfly crawled out of the corner of his eye, which was really strange, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed the rumors of this sect. ”
Xi Lin and Xu Xiao glanced at each other, they were very frightened, and after a while, Xi Lin couldn't help but say: "People from the Western Regions, why did they come to the capital to take away a corpse?" Liu Yan is a woman who can't be weaker, and she has no martial arts to win! ”
Gu Fuwei shook his head.
Steward Yang lowered his head and pondered: "Western Regions Cult...... Recently, there has been chaos in the Western Regions, and all sects are ready to move. Your Highness should be on guard! ”
"I don't know why, I can't prevent it." Gu Fuwei said: "The urgent thing at the moment is to bring back the people and the corpses!" The emperor's side is in a hurry, and the king is afraid that Zhong Pei will not be patient. ”
The implication is that he is worried that Zhong Pei will not be able to ask anything from Lizhan next time he is arraigned, and he will suffer from flesh and skin.
"What about the owner of the house?"
"Dead!" Xu Xiao replied: "We only went in when we smelled blood, and no one reported to the officials around, so no one knew what was going on here." However, his subordinates questioned the surrounding residents, saying that a month ago, seven or eight men had lived in, and they came out wearing hats every day, and they did not argue about their appearance. It's just that I like to drink and eat meat in the restaurant next door on weekdays. His subordinates sent people to inquire and confirm his words, and said that one day, some of the people in the group were drunk and said that they had done something and that they should hurry back to the Western Regions. ”
Gu Fuwei's eyes lit up, and he only spit out two words. "Yangjin."
The Western Regions have recently been in turmoil, some of the displaced people have epidemics, the official road leading to the capital in the Western Regions has closed three passes, but the central gold is still open, leaving heavy troops to guard it strictly, and the inventory is quite strict.
Xu Xiao replied: "My subordinates have sent someone directly to Yangjin to intercept people, hurry up, two days!" ”
If you can intercept these people by going, it will take two days to come back. The emperor ordered Dali Temple to close the case in ten days, and then the Liu family has already moved, and tomorrow it is not good to write to the emperor and express grievances, and the situation of Lizhan will only be more dangerous.
Besides, if you run into someone from the Qingyin Sect, the people in the mansion are inexperienced, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with.
Gu Fuwei's brows furrowed slightly.
Steward Yang comforted on the side: "If you delay for one day halfway, count it for five days, it's still very promising." ”
"What do you want to do? The king wants to keep her safe! ”
Then, he thought again, "Go and summon Wang Xiaoqi!" ”
Steward Yang heard this, and probably knew Gu Fuwei's plan, so he immediately became anxious. "Your Highness, that's the general of the cavalry, the deputy general of the banner army who escorted His Highness back to the Western Regions!"
Gu Fuwei not only wanted to arrest the thief who stole the body, but also had to leave a way back for Lizhan's safety.
In case Yang Jin can't intercept anyone, Gu Fuwei will probably catch another "real murderer" and dedicate it to Dali Temple.
Dali Temple is in a hurry to solve the case, and it should not be too serious. But after all, if you want to give an explanation to the Liu family and the emperor, the details must match everywhere.
Gu Fuwei needs a man who is not afraid of death, but also very smart and calm to surrender.
In case there is a bad pool, not only will the soldiers be lost, but the "real murderer" is caught by him to Dali Temple, and the Qi Wangfu will also be involved.
Therefore, he is not at ease with the elite in this house.
Xi Lin and Xu Xiao are okay, but now that they stay by his side, there is still something to use.
Yes, as soon as he mentioned Wang Xiaoqi, Steward Yang understood what he meant.
Gu Fuwei came to the capital this time, expecting that the emperor would give him a marriage.
He had already made up his mind that no matter who was pointed to him, he would refuse to accept it, and he would enter and go out alone.
The marriage was ruined, and the emperor didn't trust him, so his departure from Beijing might not go smoothly.
When he entered Beijing, he ordered Wang Xiaoqi as the deputy general, and Hesi as the main general, and put a pair of flag troops in front of the Guizi Realm, and once there was an order, he immediately came to escort him.
Now Gu Fuwei wants Wang Xiao to ride as a substitute for the dead......
On the way back to the Western Regions, if the emperor has a plan, the deputy general will be damaged, and a main general will be left, which may be inappropriate.
The way of marching is the most taboo to cut off the back road.
He wanted to leave a way back for Lizhan, but he gave up his own back road, Rao is Lizhan is of great use in the territory of the Western Regions, but it is not good for Gu Fuwei's safety, how can this be done?
Steward Yang immediately persuaded bitterly: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, Guizi is far away from Beijing, hurry up and whip up, day and night, and it will take half a month." Miss! ”
"The flying pigeon will come in one day. He then shot into Beijing, and walked alone, seven days was enough. ”
"Your Highness...... With Wang Xiao's ability to ride, wouldn't it be a pity to sacrifice in Dali Temple like this? ! ”
"Zhan'er's death is a big loss to my territory in the Western Regions. You don't have to discuss it anymore, which is more important, this king knows in his heart. You just have to get the message from the loft quickly. ”
A few people didn't dare to discuss it anymore, bowed their heads and exited Gu Fuwei's bedroom.
