Chapter Seventy-Seven: Murder and Silence Failed
There is a saying that "if people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries." ”
There are thousands of faces in the world, which correspond to the changes in the world.
However, although there is a rich appearance, it may not necessarily have a rich life, and the reason for this is that most of them are not thoughtful and unclear, so that they are riddled with hidden dangers and worries.
And if the poverty caused by one's own stupidity and slowness is forgivable, then the wealth caused by one's own insidious cunning is unforgivable! The former can harm itself at best, while the latter can harm others. If you know that something is going to happen and you still insist on doing it, you will be even more evil.
In this way, even if the government and the opposition dominate one side, in the end he is just a "poor man" who doesn't even have a shroud straw mat.
Throughout the world, there will be many people who walk with them. Therefore, although it is a peaceful and prosperous era, there will inevitably be darkness where light is difficult to reach.
The day after tomorrow is the birthday of Concubine Wu Hui, and the treasure chest that Qiu Pengyun worries about day and night has finally arrived.
In order to prevent accidents, Qiu Pengyun also deliberately placed it in the dark compartment in the wall of the study. And open it every now and then to make sure it's safe, which is really painstaking.
That night, Qiu Pengyun, who had had dinner, came to the study with great interest as usual, and then walked unhurriedly to the secret compartment where the treasure chest was placed. As he sang a little song, he brought over a chair, intending to carefully play with and study the treasure that he had so painstakingly obtained.
But the moment he opened the dark grid, Qiu Pengyun, who was still happy, suddenly became bloodless, his hands trembled, and he immediately shouted involuntarily. Then he stood up suddenly, so that the chairs behind Qiu Pengyun fell to the ground because of his rapid movements.
The treasure chest that had been placed here before actually disappeared under his strict care, how could Qiu Pengyun, who was old and frail and eager to rise to the top, bear it?
When the guards outside heard that there seemed to be something unusual in the room, they immediately rushed into the house to check the situation.
When the guard entered the door, he saw Qiu Pengyun sitting on the ground alone, and he kept muttering, it's gone, it's over......
Seeing this, the guards immediately went over and tried to help him up. Unexpectedly, at this time, Qiu Pengyun's body was extremely stiff, and he was as lifeless as a wooden man.
I think it must be that after being exposed to some kind of strong stimulus, it has not yet eased up, so it behaves like this.
However, no matter how much everyone pulls, it will not help in the end. Qiu Pengyun, who was frightened, was like a living dead who had lost his soul at the moment. Unless the treasure chest is recovered, it is unlikely that the situation will improve in a short period of time.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhang Butcher, who had not heard from him before, suddenly hurried to the mansion, as if he had something important to tell him.
Originally, Qiu Pengyun was still depressed and depressed about the mysterious loss of the treasure chest, but when he heard that Zhang Butcher mentioned Qin Menglan's family to him, he was instantly interested, so that he could stand up alone without the help of any external force, as if he had died and been resurrected.
I saw him pull the butcher closer to him, panting and asking him what he had seen.
Seeing that Qiu Pengyun was so eager, Zhang Butcher was a little frightened, so that he began to stutter and couldn't finish a sentence for a long time.
Seeing this, Qiu Pengyun immediately calmed down his impatient mood and told him not to be in a hurry to speak slowly.
So, the somewhat excited Zhang butcher slowly told Qiu Pengyun in detail about the scene that happened not long ago.
It turned out that since that day, Zhang Butcher's love for Qin Menglan has become more and more prosperous.
In addition, the Qin family made a fuss this time because of the treasure chest, and the whole family was not at peace because of this. All this made Zhang Butcher's desire to take advantage of the danger of others became stronger and stronger.
Later, this Zhang butcher simply didn't do anything, and he knew that he was keeping an eye on Qin Menglan's family all day long. Thinking of the slightest change, he immediately seized the opportunity in order to achieve his dirty purpose.
And just when Zhang Butcher was about to sleep, he suddenly heard that there seemed to be something strange in Qin Menglan's house next door, so he immediately went out to check the situation.
I saw a brand-new carriage parked in front of Qin Menglan's house, plus the Qin family and a strange man, a total of four people, all of them looked nervous. It's unusual to see them hurrying around.
At first, Zhang Butcher was still suspicious, but when he saw that the Qin family had hastily loaded all kinds of daily necessities such as clothing, money, and food into the carriage, he had a tendency to never return.
The confused Zhang butcher suddenly realized that Qin Menglan's family was going to abandon their home and run away, and there must be something strange in this.
Thinking of this, Zhang Butcher, who didn't know the truth, rushed over with an arrow, wanting to prevent Qin Menglan from escaping by himself.
But he never expected that just before he could make any moves, he was scared by Qin Menglan's eyes and sat on the ground.
The sharpness and horror of this kind of eyes are the only ones Zhang Butcher has seen in his life, otherwise he would not have been so scared that he would be so scared that he would sit directly on the ground, so that until Qin Menglan and they were gone, Zhang Butcher still did not slow down, it seemed that he was really frightened.
In fact, Qin Menglan's glance was only a short moment, but it was enough to make people impressed. It's a pity that Zhang Butcher is a rough man who is not good at words, so even if he sees it with his own eyes, he can't well describe what kind of eyes it is.
Nowadays, it seems that the matter is far from as simple as it seems.
Without further ado, Qiu Pengyun immediately ordered people to rush to the city gate, and then managed to intercept the way of Qin Menglan's family and recapture the treasure chest. When necessary, even if it is to kill people.
However, what Qiu Pengyun didn't expect was that this Qin Menglan disappeared completely like evaporation from the world.
Just as Qiu Pengyun was angry about this, on an official road located outside Chang'an City, an unexpected scene was quietly staged.
It's almost late at night, and there are few people on the official road. Qin Menglan, who was extremely tired, slowly opened the curtain covering the main entrance of the carriage, wanting to see the situation outside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted the curtain of the door, she vaguely saw that something seemed to flash in front of her eyes.
It was so fast that she couldn't see anything before she could react.
Qin Menglan, who was full of doubts, rubbed her eyes, and then asked the coachman on the side if she saw anything flashing in front of her quickly.
When the coachman heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he touched his head and replied uncertainly, that just now it seemed that something really flashed in front of him, and he had not seen what it was, and he vaguely felt that "a puff of blue smoke" had suddenly drifted in front of him.
As soon as this situation came out, he suddenly felt that his surroundings were cold, like a biting cold wind, which made people shiver.
Before the two of them could recover their senses, the so-called blue smoke appeared in front of them without warning. When I looked closely, it turned out to be Bai Muyun.
I saw Bai Muyun standing in front of the carriage with a solemn expression, and then quickly raised his left hand forward, and the sword in his hand revealed half of the sword body under the action of external force.
The cold light reflected from the body of the sword pierced Qin Menglan and the others from opening their eyes.
In this situation, it is clear that she wants to threaten and intimidate everyone in the car, so as to achieve her ulterior purpose.
I only heard Bai Muyun say viciously to Qin Menglan: "Leave the treasure chest, I will spare you, otherwise don't want to see the sun tomorrow!" ”
As soon as she heard this, Qin Menglan suddenly realized that she had also come to rob the treasure chest.
Qin Menglan originally thought that she had escaped the pursuit of these people with her ingenuity and careful planning, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't escape this catastrophe in the end.
At this moment, a strange man's voice suddenly came from behind Bai Muyun.
I only heard the man advise Bai Muyun in the night: "A big girl's family, who doesn't honestly stay in the boudoir to do embroidery work, but wants to come out and kill people on such a beautiful moonlit night, what kind of system!" ”
When Bai Muyun heard this, she hurriedly turned around to check the situation, only to see a strange man with a beautiful face already standing in front of her.
This person is Liu Aodong, a moody and elusive righteous knight.
Seeing this, Bai Muyun immediately pulled out his sword, and then pointed at Liu Aodong with the blade of his sword and warned: "Don't be nosy, eat more, hurry up and go home and stay!" ”
Seeing this, Liu Aodong smiled and slowly moved her sword edge away with his fingers, and said seriously: "As long as you don't let it go, it's probably not a good thing." Therefore, I have to take care of this matter! ”
Saying that, Liu Aodong teleported, and immediately got rid of Bai Muyun's control. Seeing this, Bai Muyun knew that this person must be a bad person.
So, to make sure her plans can go smoothly, she is ready to fight them.
I saw Liu Aodong carrying a silver-gray broad-handled long sword and wearing a silver hair crown. In the middle of the crown is a pale blue gemstone, which is brightened by the reflection of the bright moonlight.
Most of the other people who wield swords held the sword in their hands or hung it around their waists, while Liu Aodong carried it on his back.
When Liu Aodong wanted to use this to confront the enemy, he stretched out his slender left hand to the tail of the sword behind his back, and then slapped it hard, causing the extremely sharp sword to immediately come out of the sheath, and then let it fly and spin in mid-air for several weeks, and then land firmly in his right hand.
The skillfulness of its movements and the speed of its process are enough to make everyone who sees this scene stunned and then afraid.
It is worth mentioning that although Liu Aodong is a chivalrous man, he is extremely handsome. Although it can't be called fine skin and tender meat, it is also beautiful and well-dressed.
The only fly in the ointment is that this person is too murderous and a little extreme. Especially Qu Liqing's sudden death, which gave him a great blow. As a result, Liu Aodong is becoming more and more elusive in terms of personality, and he can often do some unexpected things.
said that it was too late, and before Bai Muyun could react, Liu Aodong's sword blade had already stabbed towards her face.
The panicked Bai Muyun immediately raised his hand to block it, but unexpectedly, Liu Aodong took advantage of the situation to swing the sword, causing the direction of the sword blade to change instantly. Bai Muyun couldn't dodge, and a few hairs were immediately cut off to the ground.
Seeing this, Bai Muyun was shocked and completely enraged by it, and the two immediately started a fierce fight.
I saw Bai Muyun flying, instantly turned behind Liu Aodong, and turned around and stabbed back.
Seeing this, Liu Aodong was not to be outdone, so he immediately turned the sword body to his back, and Bai Muyun's sword was just stabbed on the spine of his sword.
Seeing that it was already difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat on the ground, the two simply jumped into the air, several feet above the ground, and then flew together and hovered over the trees in the dense forest. It was so dark that the sand and rocks were flying, but it was still indistinguishable.
Seeing this, Liu Aodong thought to himself, now that it is now, it seems that it will be difficult to get out without showing some real skills.
So, Liu Aodong, who was confident, took advantage of his unpreparedness to use his superb swordsmanship, and then formed an absolute suppression of Bai Muyun in the subsequent fight.
What he didn't expect was that Bai Muyun, who was cunning by nature, knew that he was invincible, and suddenly said the words "Qu Liqing" at the critical moment when Liu Aodong was defenseless.
As a result, Liu Aodong, who already had the upper hand, was a little distracted, and then Bai Muyun took the opportunity to stab a sword, and then turned defeat into victory.
Due to the suddenness of the incident and the fact that Liu Aodong was already injured, at this time, he could only barely save the lives of Qin Menglan and his party, but it was absolutely impossible to defeat Bai Muyun again in a short time.
In desperation, Qin Menglan could only give the treasure chest to Bai Muyun first, and hoped that Bai Muyun would be able to let them go after getting the treasure chest.
That Bai Muyun was still true to her word, she did not embarrass Qin Menglan after getting the treasure chest, but let them go like this.
So why did Bai Muyun have to get the treasure chest? How did the treasure chest that was originally placed in the study disappear? There are so many mysteries and questions that have not yet been revealed.
