Chapter 174: The Mystery of Liwan Village
Bai Lan personally brought the boiled peach blossom soup to the emperor.
The emperor smelled the aroma and couldn't wait, Zhou An'an saw it in his eyes, and said busily, "Master, taste it." ”
An unconcealable look of greed appeared in the emperor's eyes, and he tasted it immediately. A mouthful of soup is really beautiful, and it is even better than the bowl in the palace Zhou Anjin.
From the smile on the emperor's face, Bai Lan saw that she was satisfied with herself, so Bai Lan pursed her lips lightly and said with a light smile, "It turns out that the son likes the soup made by the little woman, you can come often in the future, and the little girl will make it for you to drink." ”
"Okay." Zhu Yijun agreed quickly, smiled at Bai Lan and lowered his head to continue eating his soup.
In the corner of Bai Lan's eyes, she knew that a pair of cold eyes had scraped on her face, and she was calm and didn't know anything. Zhiqu stood comfortably to the side, and did not dare to look at Jian Xiu.
It's just a villager, Jian Xiu didn't pay any more attention, but looked casually into the house. Suddenly, a picture came to his mind, and among the crowd of villagers at the entrance of the village, he seemed to glance at a figure when he glanced at it.
Close your eyes and reflect.
Jian Xiu opened his eyes suddenly, yes, he seemed to see her. But how is that possible?
Just when Jian Xiu was stunned whether he was wrong at that time, a shout suddenly came from outside the flower garden, "Dead man......"
Jian Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked back at the emperor and said, "The minister went out to have a look." "Even if you walk out quickly.
The emperor and Zhou An were also stunned, and when they saw Jian Xiu go out, the emperor was also curious, so he got up and said to Zhou An, "Go and take a look." After that, he walked out.
Zhou An and Bai Lan glanced at each other and hurriedly followed the emperor's pace.
When Jian Xiu walked out of the flower garden, Jinyi Wei Yao Zhi immediately gave up, "My lord, there is a village woman who is shouting crazy, I don't know if it's fake. ”
Jian Xiu frowned slightly, glanced at the villagers who had been detained by Jinyiwei, and when he saw the emperor walking out, he hurriedly turned around and said to Zhu Yijun, "The minister will take two people to take a look." ”
The Emperor nodded, and stood with his hands in his hands to look at the villager.
At that moment, Jian Xiu's slender eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and then slowly raised his hand, and two slender fingers as beautiful as jade onions pointed at the two brocade guards: "You two come with me!" ”
The village woman was not crazy but frightened, and hurriedly pointed in the direction of Gao Yantang, "Over there, there is a killing ......."
Liu Piaoyi's eyes were shining with tears, and she was anxious and overwhelmed. The woman in her arms opened her mouth slightly and had something to say, but her voice was weak and she couldn't hear what she was saying.
didn't wait for the woman to say something so that Liu Piaoyi could understand, so she closed her eyes in a breath.
Su Qingshan hurriedly ran from the house to Liu Piaoyi, urging her, "Hurry up, let's get out of here, someone will come." ”
But Liu Piao's eyes were shining, and they were full of curiosity: "Why do you want to go?" ”
Su Qingshan was a little anxious, "Don't go, people will think that you and I killed you when they see this scene." ”
Liu Piaomei frowned, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth, "I didn't kill anyone." ”
Su Qingshan still cared about Liu Piao's words, immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her up, took her away, and went to the back of the house.
Su Qingshan's words were good, Liu Piaoyi did not break free, but looked back at the woman who was already dead on the ground as he walked away.
Miserable and desolate, it is pitiful.
When Jian Xiu arrived at the scene, the body of the woman in front of the house was still there. He crouched down and probed the woman's breath to confirm that she was dead.
The other two brocade guards rushed to the house, and after searching inside, they immediately returned to Jian Xiu's side to report, "There is no one inside." ”
Jian Xiu's gaze sank and sank more and more, and he commanded again, "Look around." ”
After the two brocade guards answered, they went around the room to investigate again.
There was still a rope under the tree in front of the house, and Jian Xiu walked under the tree and raised his eyes to look around a few times. Suddenly, a bright pearl hairpin on the ground caught his eye.
At this moment, Jian Xiu's eyes finally moved slightly, and he picked up the bead hairpin. When he took a serious look, he felt familiar, and Jian Xiu looked at the bead hairpin in his hand with an incredulous expression,
Then the corners of his mouth twitched.
Zhu Hai is remembered, yes, he didn't admit his mistake.
I've been here, but what about people?
Jian Xiu panicked, could something happen......
At this time, the two brocade guards returned to him again and shook their heads, "I didn't find anyone." ”
Jian Xiu's gaze was as cold as the cold wind of the thirty-nine days, cold and cold, and it was even dyed with murderous intent.
Pulling on the bead hairpin, he was uneasy, and he looked around in a panic.
In front of the emperor, Yao Zhi led the other brocade guards to guard.
When the villagers saw that they had killed someone, more and more people approached, and the emperor was worried that the exposure of his identity would cause trouble, and he felt that it was not easy to stay longer, so he asked Yao Zhi to escort him back to the palace.
Looking at the lively villagers, when the emperor left, he saw Ling Xinan, Zhang Chifeng and Li Yuyan were also there.
When the emperor looked at the three of them, the three of them did not hide, but directly greeted them with the courtesy of the ministers, and the emperor immediately waved his hand so that the three of them did not have to kneel, which was rare to attract more attention.
It's just that the emperor wondered why these three people also appeared here, and his expression suddenly became serious, "What's the matter with the three of you?" ”
Ling Xinan didn't want to say that he came after Liu Piaomeng, so he lied and said, "Play...... Yes, I'm here to play. ”
Li Yuyan couldn't say that she came after seeing Ling Xinan coming, and she also echoed, "Yes, the little girl and Ling Gongzi came together to play." ”
The emperor set his eyes on Zhang Chifeng's face, Zhang Chifeng's voice was calm, and then he spoke, "The minister came with Miss Li by chance." ”
The emperor glanced at the three of them again, did not say anything more, did not stay any longer, but walked away directly.
Seeing that the emperor and Jinyi Wei had left, Ling Xinan breathed a sigh of relief, and regardless of whether there were still those two people around, he immediately walked in the direction where Jian Xiu was going.
Seeing this, Li Yuyan called him behind Ling Xinan and followed. Zhang Chifeng didn't want Li Yuyan to have an accident, so he also followed.
On the side of the road outside the flower garden, Bai Lan looked at the figures one by one, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and then returned to the house in the flower garden.
In the house, the village woman and the real Bailan sat on the stool in a regular manner, and when she saw the woman returning, she immediately got up in a panic, her eyes were scared, and her body trembled.
It was Ye Xuemian who pretended to be Bai Lan to see the emperor, and at this time, the real Bai Lan was quiet in front of her, not even daring to raise her eyes.
Ye Xuemian's face was cold, without any smile, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
She said in an orderly manner: "I did a good job today, as long as the two of you are in peace and don't talk about this matter, I can protect your lives without worry, otherwise, there will be no place to bury you." ”
The two of them were already frightened, and immediately replied tremblingly, "Understood, understood." ”
Jian Xiu came to a green bamboo forest, As soon as he saw this green bamboo forest, he felt strange, the bamboo forest was actually a formation.
Those who know this formation should also calculate the position of the life gate and the death gate of the formation first, and if you go to the life gate, you will be safe, and if you enter the death gate, there will be death and no life.
And once someone who doesn't know this formation enters the Lost Trace Array, then there is almost no life coming out.
Jian Xiu didn't know what kind of master set up this formation here, but he broke in by mistake, so he could only be careful to find a way out.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, a man in a white robe and black cloak sat on horseback, his deep eyes looking at Jian Xiu's figure through the dense forest.
The silver-masked man rode on a horse, holding a delicate bow and arrows in his hand, and arrows on his back, filled with feathered arrows.
The horse didn't move, and the man didn't move, but the man took out an arrow from the arrow basket on his back and aimed it at Jian Xiu's figure, and then released an arrow.
The arrow whistled through the forest and shot straight into Jian Xiu's chest.
When the wind came, Jian Xiu immediately noticed that one of them turned around to dodge the sharp arrow, but then the feather arrow flew again.
Jian Xiu dodged and kicked and dodged again. Seizing the free time and seeing the figure, Jian Xiu's figure ran straight in the direction where the sharp arrow flew from, but he didn't find the figure. The bamboo forest was still shaking in front of me, and I felt like I was trapped in a maze and couldn't get out.
At the scene of Gaoyantang, the villagers were already watching, and the Jinyi guards who stayed behind were checking the body. The villagers just gathered around the railing, and the voices of the chatter were soft.
Ling Xinan, Zhang Chifeng, and Li Yuyan came to the gate of the courtyard and were driven by the atmosphere of the dead man. Ling Xinan walked nervously towards the female corpse and looked at it, and some indescribable emotion appeared on her face.
Heavy and complex.
The back of the woman's clothes showed traces of blood from being whipped with a whip, and it was clear that the woman had been whipped before she died.
When Ling Xinan looked very seriously, Li Yuyan, who was standing not far away, didn't dare to go forward to see clearly, and she felt very unlucky, and said to Ling Xinan, "Ling Gongzi, what's so beautiful about the corpse, let's leave here." ”
Ling Xinan ignored her, and walked straight towards the house.
The corners of Li Yuyan's mouth moved, and when she looked at Zhang Chifeng uneasily, she saw that he seemed to be completely immersed in his emotions, and he was more serious than Ling Xinan.
Then Zhang Chifeng ignored Li Yuyan's thoughts there, and also walked towards the house.
From what people who practice martial arts can see, Zhang Chifeng can see that the whipping marks on the back of the female corpse are obviously beaten by kung fu people, and they are not the strength that ordinary people can master.
In the house, there was tea on the table, Zhang Chifeng checked them one by one, the water in the teacup had not yet been drunk, although it was already cold, but obviously the woman should be drinking tea with someone before she died.
The stools at the table were not neatly arranged, and it was obvious that someone was sitting on a sudden rise, or suddenly stepped back and moved the stool.
Ling Xinan glanced at him casually, and he had already gone out, and he didn't say anything about Zhang Chifeng's concentration, but left suddenly, ignoring Li Yuyan chasing after him, and ran away in a hurry.
What the hell is going on? Li Yuyan looked confused, she couldn't catch up with Ling Xinan, so she had to go back again.
On the mountain forest road of Liwan Village, an ordinary horse-drawn carriage slowly moves towards the capital to the south.
Sitting in the carriage is Ling Yunyi. The car was followed by several horses, all of which were guarded with weapons. When I went to Liwan Village, all I saw in front of the villagers was a carriage, and there were no guards accompanying them.
Ling Yunyi's face was pale and bloodless, his expression was a little indifferent, his eyes were blank, and he was obviously immersed in his own thoughts.
Yes, Ling Yunyi at this time, his mind was full of Lu Mei's appearance, and it was the moment when the woman changed her face ruthlessly.
