twenty-two
Yanyun walked over to see what the gourd had found, only to see the gourd pull out a half-palm-sized red copper waist plate from the belt of the corpse, and the waist plate was engraved with four characters: Qin Tian Shenwei.
"Qin Tian Shenwei?" Yanyun was a little puzzled, this thing looked like a token.
Hulu took the bronze medal and stood up slowly, his eyes were completely locked by the words "Qin Tian Shenwei", it seemed that he knew what this thing was.
The more Yanyun thought about it, the more strange it became, so he searched the waists of these corpses, and finally found a bronze medal identical to this one in the belt of a corpse.
"What the hell is this?" Although she didn't know the origin of the two copper tokens, her intuition told her that there were spies in the sixteen lines.
The gourd was silent for a long time, then looked at the token in Yan Yun's hand and said, "These two people are from Qin Tianjian, as for how they could be mixed in the Sixteen Elements Assassination Division, it is unknown. ”
"Qin Tianjian?" Yan Yun was puzzled, "Isn't Qin Tianjian a member of the imperial court, how could he ......?"
She had heard of Qin Tianjian before, and most of them were warlocks, observing celestial phenomena all day long, divining good fortune and evil for the emperor's royal use, and formulating calendar rules. But I heard my father once mention that there is a secret branch in the Qin Heavenly Prison, all of which are martial arts masters, and they are directly ordered by the Son of Heaven.
During the autopsy, Yan Yun observed that these two Qin Tian Shenwei were both strong and prominent, and there were obvious calluses on the five fingers of their right hands, which were formed after strict training and perennial sword-wielding, and they seemed to be outstanding martial artists. There is such a powerful organization in the Qin Heavenly Prison, they must all be veterans who have been killed for a long time, so what are they coming to the Sixteen Lines for? Who has the ability to kill them with a single sword?
"Qin Tian Shenwei ......" Hulu said to himself, from the discovery of the bronze medal to the present, his gaze has never left those four words. Yanyun was waiting for Hulu's next words, but he didn't say anything more.
Why did someone from the imperial court infiltrate the assassination division? Yan Yun stared at the two corpses on the ground, this is a crucial issue, the Sixteen Elements have nothing to do with the imperial court, if it really has anything to do with it, it is nothing more than to make a few deals with a few of the powerful ministers, and kill a few courtiers who are not favored by the powerful in the court, which is also a matter of my father's generation. The Sixteen Lines have never interacted with the courtiers over the years, and how did the imperial court send people to infiltrate them?
Yanyun wanted to think in detail, but she never paid attention to the affairs of the four princes all these years, and now when she needed to recall the personnel in the line, her mind was blank, so she had to beat her chest, hating that she was only one person who was addicted to studying poison. Now there is only one person to ask, and that is Brother Tanlong, but at this time, it is far away, and it is impossible to inquire about the reason for it for a while, so I can only give up.
At this time, I only heard the sound of the door opening not far away, Yanyun immediately followed the sound, and heard a trembling and frightened voice said: "The hero spares his life, the little one is just forced to go out to find Wen Po, there is a pregnant woman in the inn who is about to give birth......"
Yanyun was speechless.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw that Yanyun didn't say anything, he was about to run.
"Stop." The gourd opened his mouth to drink the little two who were scared when he heard the sound.
"Big ...... What does the hero command? Xiao Er stammered when he spoke.
"Is there a room available?" The gourd is extraordinarily approachable.
"Yes...... There is a ......" Xiao Er looked at the store, probably seeing the shopkeeper's face, and his voice weakened.
"Go, go, go!" Hulu didn't talk to him either, glanced at Yanyun, and took the lead towards the inn.
As soon as I entered the inn, I saw the shopkeeper walking over with a smile: "The two guest officers are really embarrassed, the small shop is full today, and there are no guest rooms." ”
"Don't have a room?" Hulu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "That little second just now said that there was a vacant room." ”
"He's new here, and he's going to the hall for the first time this afternoon, and he's not familiar with the guest room." The shopkeeper kept looking at the sword on Yan Yun's waist when he spoke, and he was terrified and had to apologize with a hard smile.
Yanyun said, "Lie. ”
"Big ...... Don't be angry, you two have just been looking at those corpses on the street for so long, and at first glance they are people in the rivers and lakes, the small shop is cold, and there are old and weak women and children living in the store, you can't stand the beating and killing......" The shopkeeper said while holding his head.
"Don't worry, we're not in the same league as those people just now." Yanyun saw that the shopkeeper was really scared to death, so he softened his tone and said: "It's just because it's raining heavily on this day that it's not suitable to hurry, so I stayed here for one night, and I just saw the scene outside and took a few more looks." ”
The shopkeeper was suspicious, and looked back and forth on the faces of Yanyun and Hulu a few times, and saw that there was no anger in the eyebrows of these two people, so he was a little relieved, and saw that Yanyun's words were sincere, so he said: "Okay, there are exactly two empty rooms on the left side of the upstairs." ”
"Thank you." Yanyun said, remembered something, and asked: "The fight outside just now, I wonder if the shopkeeper saw a rough idea?" ”
"How can you see it, that group of people besieging one person in a loud voice, and after a while, it will be bloody, and we are all hiding in the house and dare not go out." Thinking of the scene just now, the shopkeeper still had palpitations.
I wanted to ask something, but the gourd clamored for the shopkeeper to find a few pots of good wine, and Yanyun had to go upstairs to the room first.
When I passed by the corridor on the second floor, I saw that the yamen had already sent someone to carry the corpses outside.
Pushing the door into the room, Yanyun's heart has not been able to calm down, she is too lazy to go downstairs to take care of the drunkard gourd, and stay in the room alone to think about everything she saw today.
Especially the sword wound on the corpse.
Such a thin opening, as thin as a cicada's wings, you can see at a glance that it is not an ordinary sword.
There are only a handful of sects in the world that can make this kind of sword, but after careful consideration, these are the so-called famous and decent families, and they have no dealings with the Sixteen Elements and the Imperial Court, so they will never have a grudge against the people of the Sixteen Elements Assassination Division. The only thing that made Yan Yun wonder was why the assassins of the Division wanted to kill this person, they should have come here to set up an ambush to arrest her.
The more I think about it, the more clueless I get.
There was a thunderous explosion outside the window, and in an instant, a heavy rain fell from the sky, hitting the roof tiles and crackling, which was particularly disturbing.
Yanyun pushed open the door and came to the corridor, at this time, the sky was dark and dark, and the torrential rain was like a pillar, and it didn't take long to wash away the blood stains on the ground outside, and even the smell of blood in the air was replaced by the damp rain, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would have known that there had just been a tragic battle outside.
Qin Tian Shenwei, the imperial court, sixteen lines, she meditated.
What is the connection between the three?
