Chapter 440: Letters
"You're ruthless and accurate. The blood on the ground was shocking and terrifying, Xing Ze walked from the trunk of the tree, put his hands in his cuffs, and watched Han Feiyang drag the secret letter out of Bai Fengkui's corpse.
Withdrawing his hand, the power of the demonic qi was withdrawn from Bai Fengkui's cold body. Blood spurted down the wound, staining her prostrate place with blood red.
Han Feiyang took a step back, as if he had stepped on something, and when he looked back, it was Qi Lao's hand.
The old man lay on the ground, stretched out a hand in the direction of Bai Fengkui, as if he wanted to help, but he died here.
Xing Ze stepped forward, came to Han Feiyang's side, looked down at Qi Lao's body, shook his head and said softly: "Qi Fang, your loyalty is really touching, but unfortunately, you are with the wrong person." ”
Qi Fang back then was also heroic, if it weren't for being calculated and ruined in the war, he would definitely be the same Taoist cultivator as himself.
Han Feiyang looked sideways at Xing Ze, followed his gaze, glanced at Qi Lao, who was already cold on the ground, and then raised his head: "Master Guoshi, do you know this rickety old man?"
Xing Ze shook his head: "I don't know this old man, and I don't bother to talk about it, what I know is just the heroic Qi Fang back then." ”
Who is Qi Fang? Han Feiyang didn't know, but he was not very rare as a dead man. Looking down at the secret letter in his hand, a strong curiosity rose to tear it open to see what it was about.
After a fierce ideological struggle, reason finally suppressed curiosity. Carefully put the secret letter in your bosom and tucked it carefully.
"Someone is coming. Ahead, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and when you heard it, you knew that it was not an ordinary horse. Xing Ze looked forward and called out to Han Feiyang.
"It should have been the sound of the fight that attracted people. Han Feiyang's expression was calm, and he turned around to leave.
"You just left Bai Fengkui's body here?" Xing Ze then turned around and asked Han Feiyang lightly.
After a slight pause, he looked down at the corpse lying on the ground, and seemed to hesitate.
Da-da-da-da. The sound of horses' hooves in front of me became louder and louder, and when I looked up, I could already see a group of figures faintly.
"Don't stay any longer, Master Kun, let's go. "Although it is true that it is necessary to dispose of Bai Fengkui's body, the current situation is not up to him to choose.
Seeing this, Xing Ze also nodded, kicked lightly on the ground, and flew away with Han Feiyang.
In the end, Bai Fengkui was not injured by him, and if he is investigated, it will not be counted as his Xingze. As for Han Feiyang, it is not in the category he cares about. But he didn't say anything more.
After the two of them left, the group arrived.
Seeing the blood red all over the ground and the three bloodstained corpses, the leader immediately turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to visit.
"Head, how's it going?" asked a small soldier as he stepped forward.
I saw that the leader sighed and shook his head: "The person is gone." Hurry back and report to the Major General!"
It was originally a member of the Lin family's army.
"Yes!" the little soldier took the order and galloped towards the direction of the Lin Mansion.
Leaning over to pick Bai Fengkui up, the leader put it on the carriage that had been cut off, beckoned two more people, and put Red Tears and Qi Lao together.
Hey, the world is impermanent, and the rivers and lakes are sinister. Who would have thought that the master of the Divine Soldier Pavilion, who had fought bravely on the battlefield back then, would die on the way back to the pavilion.
"Go to two more people, one to the Second Prince's Mansion, and the other, go to the Criminal Department, and inform the Second Prince and Lord Shen that the White Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion has been assassinated. ”
"Yes!" At the sound of the order, the two soldiers stepped out of the line and rode towards their destination.
"What did you say?!" the same exclamation in three different places in the capital.
The bodies of Bai Fengkui and the three were quickly brought to the Lin Mansion, and Qi Musheng and Shen Wei hurried over. Lin Feng was originally discussing the wedding banquet with Qin Huaisu for a few days, but when he suddenly heard the news, the two of them also put down their hands and came to the main hall.
In the center of the main hall, Bai Fengkui, Qi Lao, and Red Tears, the corpses of the three were neatly arranged. Mu Linying and Lin Xuan frowned, stood aside with solemn expressions, staring at the three corpses silently.
Seeing Qi Musheng coming, he immediately saluted: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”
Qi Musheng waved his hand: "General Lin doesn't need to be polite. Since his eyes entered the main hall, he has been staring at Bai Fengkui.
Gu Yixuan had only been gone for a long time, and something like this happened in the Divine Weapon Pavilion. When he returns, how should I explain to him?
After Shen Wei bowed to Qi Musheng and Lin Xuan, he squatted down beside Bai Fengkui and carefully checked the details on his body.
"The White Pavilion Lord's body is not injured by a blade. Lin Xuan said.
"Indeed, the White Pavilion Lord does not seem to have obvious injuries on the surface of his skin, and the reason why he is bleeding profusely is because the inside is so badly damaged that his blood gushes out. Shen Wei got up and echoed Lin Xuan.
"Can you see who did it?" is not a blade injury, and the swords, guns, and sword marks cannot be seen in the tricks, and it is not easy to identify the murderer. Qi Musheng looked at Lin Xuan, among the people present, Lin Xuan was the most well-informed, and he might be able to see some clues from it.
However, Lin Xuan stepped forward to take a look, but shook his head: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, this kind of injury, the old man has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he has never seen it. It is because it is impossible to identify from the injuries of the White Pavilion Lord, who the murderer is. ”
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, perhaps, the former girl can recognize it. On the side, Qin Huaisu bowed slightly, and said to Qi Musheng: "I heard that the former girl and Qinglongjun are now living in the Second Prince's Mansion, and both of them are masters of cultivation, so they should be more familiar with this kind of injury than ordinary people." ”
Qin Huaisu's reminder made Qi Musheng suddenly realize: "Yes, what Miss Qin said is extremely true! Both of them are the best in the Void Dust Palace, and they will definitely be able to solve their confusion." However, Xi Fengling is injured now, and I am afraid it is not convenient to do it.
Master Liuli also instructed him when he was leaving, if it was not necessary, he must let the former girl recuperate quietly. It was Qi Musheng who didn't want to alarm Xi Fengling, so he turned around and ordered the attendant who was following on the side, asking him to go back to the house and invite Luo Linxuan over.
"Feng'er, what's wrong with you?" From the moment he came to the main hall, Lin Feng had a face hanging down, and the people next to him couldn't see Lin Feng's face clearly at all.
Lin Xuan asked with concern, causing him to raise his head and say, "Father, I'm fine." I'm just thinking, when Brother Gu comes back, how should we talk to him about it. Not long after going out, there was such bad news at home, how uncomfortable Gu Yixuan was.
Although that kid always looked light-hearted, Lin Feng knew that Gu Yixuan's heart was extremely affectionate.
He lost his father since he was a child, and he relied on Bai Fengkui for his life, and his mother should be an indispensable existence for him. Today, the Lord of the White Pavilion passed away, if Gu Yixuan knew, he would definitely be cut off.
At the mention of this, Qi Musheng was silent, and Lin Fengzhi's worry just hit his heartstrings.
How sad it is for a loved one to die.
If it is said that the intestine is cleft, it is nothing more than that.
I want the Lord of the White Pavilion to be a good man in the first half of his life, and to help him in the second half of his life. As a woman, she is as loyal and reliable as a man. How did it end up here, the end of the corpse in the wilderness!
Pathetic! Lamentable! Sad! Sad!
When everyone present heard Lin Feng's words, they all fell silent and did not speak.
Mu Linying lowered her head and silently stared at Bai Fengkui's blood-stained face, a drop of clear tears couldn't help but drop. Although Bai Fengkui is a military wizard, he is also a woman who loves beauty. If you look at your bloodstained appearance, you will definitely be unhappy.
Someone made a basin of water, and Mu Linying wiped the blood on his face with his own hands, revealing his originally beautiful and fair face.
"Huh?" While wiping, Mu Linying looked at Bai Fengkui's cuffs, there was something hidden, and a soft groan attracted Lin Xuan's attention.
"Madam, what's wrong?" looked at Mu Linying's expression, as if he had discovered something. Lin Xuan looked down at her and asked softly.
Mu Linying handed the towel to the maid on the side, and stretched out her finger to point at Bai Fengkui's cuff that was gently pressed by her fingertips: "At the cuff of the White Pavilion Lord, there seems to be a letter. ”
When Qi Musheng heard this, he also squatted down and looked in the direction of Mu Linying's finger.
"It seems, there is indeed a letter. Qi Musheng squinted slightly, wanting to reach out and take out the letter, but because of the etiquette of men and women, it was difficult to start, and looked sideways at Mu Linying: "Mrs. Lin, I have to ask you for a favor." ”
Mu Linying nodded, carefully poked in through Bai Fengkui's cuffs, and came out with two fingers on the letter.
On the envelope, nothing was written, and it was blank. Mu Linying respectfully handed the letter to Qi Musheng: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”
Taking the letter, Qi Musheng gently pinched it with his fingers, and there was only a thin piece of letter paper inside.
"This letter, carefully hidden in the cuffs by the White Pavilion Master, seems to be somewhat secret. Maybe it has something to do with the killing of the White Pavilion Lord. Lin Feng looked at the letter.
Mu Sheng's opinion coincides with Lin Feng. Raising his head and glancing at Lin Feng, after the two nodded slightly, Qi Musheng tore open the envelope, took out the letters, and read them carefully.
After a while, Qi Musheng put down the letter and said nothing, his eyes were full of heaviness, and he felt a little uneasy when he saw Lin Feng and the others.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, what did you say in the letter? Lin Xuan asked.
I saw Qi Musheng handing the letter to Lin Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we don't need to find out who the murderer is." ”
The letter is written in the imperial study, which is what Qi Mufeng said. The murder in the capital, Qi Mufeng's worries, the succession to the throne, and the long list of people who need to be cleaned up.
Among those people, most of them are people from families, with bad conduct and misconduct, but this group of people are all in important positions, and their corpses are vegetarian.
It's not as simple as you think. The power of the family has accumulated over the years, and it is already intertwined, and it is really difficult to affect the whole body.
After Lin Xuan understood the content of the letter, his face was the same as Qi Musheng's. The letter passed from Lin Xuan to the others again.
"It turned out that the emperor had already had the idea of pulling out these people. After Lin Feng put down the letter, he sighed. For so many years, he has always been puzzled, the misdeeds of these people from the family have caused a lot of uproar, but the emperor is as if he has never seen it, he does not say a word, does not depreciate or punish. Now it seems that it was to pull out all the tumors in one move.
"Father, this is paving the way for the next monarch. Qi Musheng lowered his head and said slowly. It turned out that in the heart of his father, he had already made a plan.
"Paving the way?" Lin Feng was puzzled and looked at Lin Xuan.
"The emperor's health is deteriorating, and his energy is insufficient. If the relatives come to deal with the people on this list, not only will they not succeed, but they may also cause the monarch and the minister to turn against each other, and the father and son to become enemies. Therefore, the emperor did not dare to take this risk. In addition, if the new lord takes the throne and fails to have obvious political achievements, he will be criticized by others and laughed at by the older generation of officials. In doing so, it can be regarded as saving a merit for the new master. Qin Huaisu explained carefully to Lin Feng in a soft voice. Between the words and sentences, the truth makes sense.
"I see. Lin Feng nodded, this royal dispute is really complicated. Without a clever and delicate heart, I am afraid that in this cannibalistic environment, I will not be able to survive.
"Then, how did His Royal Highness the Second Prince say that the murderer doesn't need to be investigated again?" Lin Feng still didn't understand.
Qi Musheng was about to speak, but when he saw Luo Linxuan's figure at the door, he turned around and greeted him: "Qinglongjun." ”
Luo Linxuan replied: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Lord Bai Pavilion, where is it?" His face was in a hurry, and when he heard the news of Bai Fengkui's death from the mouth of the attendant, Luo Linxuan's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
After all, he is the world-famous pavilion master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and he is also the mother of Gu Yixuan, for Bai Fengkui's reverence, Luo Linxuan does not need to be in charge of the teacher's respect.
"This way. Qi Musheng turned sideways, stretched out his hand in the direction of Bai Fengkui, and motioned for Luo Linxuan to come with him.
Seeing the familiar person, lying on the cold ground like this, Luo Linxuan's heart was shocked. According to Bai Fengkui's skills, few people can hurt her, let alone take her life.
knelt down on one knee and bowed in front of Bai Fengkui, and then laid a formation with his palm down and Bai Fengkui's body. The sigil and the arm snaked and took shape on the back of the hand.
Qing Cang's true qi diffused from his palm, seeping into Bai Fengkui's body little by little. As the true qi poured in, the wrinkles between Luo Linxuan's eyebrows deepened more and more.
"Demonic spirit. "In Bai Fengkui's body, there is an extremely strong demonic aura remaining. These demonic qi still turned into blades, embedded in every part of Bai Fengkui's internal organs!
The green dragon's qi slowly acted on the injured area, dissolving the blades turned by the demonic qi one by one. Blood poured out of the wound again, and the blood that had just dried up soaked the clothes again.
"Huh" Finally, Luo Linxuan pulled out the demon knife pierced in Bai Fengkui's body, and the soles under his feet were already soaked in the blood that flowed out again.
