Chapter Forty-Nine: Seeking Life
Linglong glanced at the two of them, and a fleeting smile appeared, and even the voice seemed to drift away
"I've seen it in Chenlong's underground palace. But the shrine maiden has been dead for a long time......"
"The Underground Palace?" Feng Qian narrowed her eyes carefully, the light in her eyes passed for a moment, and she suddenly said: "No wonder the imperial court can't find the palace he built, it turns out to be underground." “
Si Ying sneered: "Then didn't he build a grave for himself?" ”
Feng Qianxin didn't speak, suppressed the churning qi and blood in her chest and abdomen, raised her eyes to look at Linglong in the carriage, and found that she was looking at the two of them with an inquiring look. Feng Qianxin showed a faint smile and said, "I didn't expect that the witness in Chenlong's case was actually a woman. ”
Linglong immediately became nervous and said vigilantly: "Who are you?" ”
Si Ying smiled at her and said with relief: "Girl, don't be nervous, we are the head catchers from Nanfu, and we are ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of Chenlong, the chief soldier of Jizhou." ”
A loud bang interrupted their conversation, and the three of them were startled to look for prestige, and when they saw that the red light that had just faded from the sky suddenly ignited a raging fire, which seemed to burn everything, and more strange aspects followed.
The dream-like beauty of Shicai is gone, replaced by a black outline in the fire, like thick ink seeping into the fire, hazy and hazy, suddenly the black shadow gradually became clear, the three of them stared at it for a long time, and found that it was a human face!
A terrifying human face!
The thing cracked its mouth, as if it could swallow the three of her at any moment, and then a terrifying sound came from the ears.
"Go back!"
The three of them were shocked, Feng pulled Cheese Ying and jumped into the carriage, pressed Linglong into the carriage and said, "Hurry up!" ”
Si Ying turned the horse's head, raised her arm and raised the horsewhip, but the whip tail was held by Feng Qianxin's hand, she looked at him and said angrily: "What are you doing?" ”
Si Ying's face was still afraid: "Go back to the south." ”
Feng poured his hand and snorted coldly: "Can't you see it, this ghost face in the fire is here for her, if you want to run for your life, you have to ask her if she is willing?" ”
Linglong got out of the carriage, watched the red light in the sky fade, the ghost face faded, her eyes were calm without the slightest fear, and said lightly: "I have seen it a long time ago, and I know what happened to her, there is nothing to be afraid of." She raised her eyes to look at Si Ying and said, "If the son is afraid, just leave first." ”

It has been three days since the three of them came to Jizhou, and the smile is not there, but the road is much more stable, Si Ying found a remote inn to settle down and protect Linglong, he went to Jizhou Post Station from time to time to check, he knew that his father Si Beimen and Wangchen would also arrive in the next few days.
Feng asked Linglong about the underground palace, but she smiled faintly and did not answer her directly: "Don't worry, when Master Zhizhou arrives, I will take you to find it." ”
Feng leaned and asked: "The singing of the witch that night, the red light and ghost face, did you also see it in the underground palace?" ”
Linglong didn't answer, just looked at the scorching sun outside the window, and said for a long time: "Miss Feng, do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world?" ”
"Why did Miss Linglong ask such a question?"
She smiled and said, "I believe it, because she will come for revenge." ”
Feng Qianxin didn't ask any more, she knew that Linglong wouldn't say it, but she wasn't in a hurry, because sooner or later she was going to see the day when she went to the underground palace.
Chenlong's official residence is also a royal family, although he is a defendant, there is no evidence, so he can only temporarily dismiss the official and detain him in the mansion, but his attitude is correct and extremely cooperative, but he seems to be above board. In the past few days, Feng Qianxin has secretly visited the people of Jizhou, and the people seem to have unified their caliber, all of which are words of praise and praise, Feng Tianxin secretly thinks that Chenlong's methods are vicious, and he is afraid of retaliation. It's just that there is no other corroborating evidence, and it is difficult to convict Linglong based on his testimony alone.
"It's okay, when Lord Zhizhou digs up Chenlong's underground palace, everything will be revealed." Linglong didn't care about this matter, and seemed to be confident about Chenlong's conviction. On the contrary, Feng was full of curiosity about the underground palace, and he was a little puzzled, what Chen Long built this underground palace for.
Obviously, the answer lies in Linglong.
She asked Linglong how she knew the whereabouts of this underground palace, and this time she didn't have any reason, but her eyes flickered, and she said, "Because I have been imprisoned there for two years, I have watched it be built little by little." ”
"And how did you escape?" Feng asked in surprise, she refused to say anything about the palace, but she vaguely felt that there must be some ulterior secrets hidden in it.
"I was rescued." Linglong also didn't know anything about this, so she could only sigh: "I don't know who that Engong is, and I don't even know his appearance and name. ”
Feng poured his eyes into the dark, it seemed that there was another person hidden in the shadows.
 ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄
General Military Office.
On the rocking pool, the smoke cage is clear, and it is desolate.
There is a plank road in the pond, and there is a pavilion on the stack, and there are people on the pavilion. The clouds rose from the water, and it was still bitterly cold in the spring.
Deputy General Chen Bingzhi came to Chenlong, served the tea cup attentively, and then leaned over and said: "My lord, the spring water is cold, let's go back to the house early." ”
Chen Long's expression was very gentle, he took a sip of hot tea, and said with a smile: "In the past, I was used to being busy, but now I can't be idle at home, it seems that this official is a busy life!" ”
Chen Bingzhi echoed and smiled, bowed his head and complimented: "Don't worry, when this matter is over, the emperor will still put the burden of worrying about the country and the people on your shoulders." At that time, it is impossible for adults to enjoy Qingfu at home. ”
Chen Long laughed when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "Then you should hurry up and finish this matter." ”
Chen Bingzhi's eyes darkened for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, general, your subordinates have already arranged it." Just ......"
"Just what?" Chenlong frowned without a trace. Chen Bingzhi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "It's just that three days ago, that girl suddenly disappeared. ”
"Girl?" Chenlong sank his face, stared at him deadly, and said angrily: "She's actually a woman!?" ”
Chen Bingzhi knelt in front of him and kowtowed, and said in fear: "My subordinates don't know ......."
Chen Long didn't speak, he raised his eyes, but his eyes were as deep as Tan, and after a while, he said expressionlessly: "If you find her, you must not let her see Si Beimen alive." ”
Chen Bingzhi gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "However, it is really powerful to take a sword to kill the world, and the few people sent to it died under his sword!"
"Rubbish! Do you want to let the official do it with him? Chenlong's face changed, and he finally became angry.
Chen Bingzhi's body trembled, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "My subordinates will send more people to kill them all!" ”
"Kill me, and you have to see if you have the ability." Chen Bingzhi suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and when he looked back, a narrow sword was already around his neck.
Chenlong was really startled, when did he come in, he didn't even notice it, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Laughing at the sky."
There was no temperature in the eyes of the laughing sky, and his eyes were close to Chenlong. There was only the breath of death on his body, the narrow sword was slowly withdrawn, the tip of the sword slid faintly over Chen Bingzhi's skin, he smiled contemptuously, and said, "I'll make a deal with you." ”
Chen Long's eyes shrank, and he wondered, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”
"The killers of the rivers and lakes are nothing more than for money, whoever gives me more money, I will do things for whomever I want."
Chen Long observed him for a while before he said in a deep voice, "How much do you want?" ”
Duoxiaotian withdrew his sword, and with a narrow sword into the sheath, he curled his lips and said: "Tomorrow I will go to Jizhou when I leave Nanzhizhou, don't worry, I will not let people witness to meet him, and I will talk about the money at that time." ”
After that, the body shook and disappeared without a trace.
Chen Bingzhi had not yet come back to his senses, he was still in horror, Chen Long stared closely at the direction of Xiaotian's departure, his heart trembled as if swept by the cold wind, and said in a low voice: "What does he want to do......"
The cold wind came to the pavilion, the cold wind carried the moisture of the water through the bones, the wind shadow swayed, and the bell hanging on the corner of the pavilion floated in the wind, and the sound was broken, Chen Bingzhi suddenly came back to his senses, put his body on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Chenlong, and said tremblingly: "My lord, there is something that my subordinates dare not deceive your lord!" ”
Chen Long's face turned pale, and he stared at him and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Bingzhi didn't dare to raise his head, but sobbed in a low voice: "Just three days ago, on the official road leading to Jizhou, a vision suddenly fell from the sky, thunder and fire, yes, yes......"
"What is it?"
Chen Bingzhi suddenly raised his eyes, full of horror seemed to overflow his eyes, he choked in panic: "It's the witch singing, it's her, it's her back!" It's exactly the same as it was ten years ago......"
Chen Long was furious, and suddenly flicked his sleeves and scolded angrily: "Shut up! Someone must have played tricks, that woman died ten years ago, and the official saw her burned to ashes in the flames! ”
"Will it be ......?"
"Nope! This matter is not to be mentioned in the future. Chenlong stroked his forehead and sighed, "You step down and do your thing." ”
Chen Bingzhi nodded tremblingly, the sky gradually darkened, he kowtowed again, staggered up and planned to leave, but there was a sudden dry mouth between his chest and abdomen, and a heart-eating heat wave mixed into his limbs from his heart, and it became more and more scorching, Chen Bingzhi couldn't hold himself in an instant, and his legs were bent and knelt on the ground.
Chen Long was irritable in his heart, and scolded coldly: "Don't leave yet!" ”
Chen Bingzhi lay on the ground for a long time without movement, and Chen Long impatiently kicked down and turned him over. It's just that this kick made Chenlong frightened and the whole person took a step back.
I saw Chen Bingzhi with his mouth open, like red charcoal burned by fire, his eyes seemed to be cracked, and he kept howling in his mouth: "Save me, save me!" Ahh
Suddenly, the whole person was like a burning firecracker, crackling and burning, and the fire overflowed all over the body like fireworks, Chen Bingzhi still kept howling and threw himself towards Chenlong, but when he saw him take a step forward, he was completely reduced to ashes.
Chenlong's eyebrows closed slightly, his black hair fell down his cheeks in embarrassment, and the blood on his pale face receded. He looked at Chen Bingzhi who had turned into ashes in a daze, and stopped all thinking.
In a trance, a soft laugh sounded in his ears, which lasted for a long time, until the laughter gradually subsided, making him trance-like back to ten years ago.
