Chapter 408: Do You Know This Dead Man?

The two soldiers worked together to turn the corpse on the ground, the corpse was covered in blood, mixed with dirty river water and mud, and it was already unrecognizable, and it was almost impossible to see its original appearance.

"This guy must have done a lot of bad things in his life to die so miserably."

Guo Honglu leaned down and wiped the mixture of mud and blood from the corpse's face with his hands.

Suddenly, his face stiffened!

It's like seeing a monster, silly, motionless, with eyes and expressions full of horror and weirdness!

The soldier asked curiously, "General Guo, what's wrong with you?" Do you know this deceased? ”

Guo Honglu said hesitantly: "He...... He's the crown prince star! ”

He had seen Xing Dark, and he had also participated in Xing Dark's wedding, so he naturally recognized Xing Dark's identity at a glance. When the two soldiers next to him heard that the corpse dragged up from the river, it turned out to be the prince and turned green with fright. They knew they were going to die, and maybe someone would think they had killed the crown prince.

Guo Honglu took a deep breath and probed the star's dark snort.

The soldier said: "General Guo, we have already checked, he is dead." ”

Guo Honglu must personally identify it, check the snort and pulse, and make sure that Xing Dian is dead, so he can feel at ease. Or hopelessness! Starlight is actually dead? And by accident he found the body? He regretted it now, why did he follow the two soldiers to check on the bodies?

"General Guo, what to do with the prince's body? Why don't we throw it out of the river? ”

"You're looking for death! If anyone knows, all three of us are dead! ”

"But if it were known that we had found the prince's body, we would be dead! I'm sure everyone will suspect that we killed the prince! ”

"Don't make a noise! Let me think! ”

Guo Honglu thought about it carefully. This matter is indeed a very tricky thing! If the prince hadn't died, it would have been easy to deal with. But the crown prince is dead, and this matter has become very embarrassing! The crown prince was so badly injured and died so miserably. Whoever finds the prince's body will be suspected of being the murderer. Even if it's not suspected, it's not going to end well. If the imperial court wants to keep secrets, it will definitely take a few of them first! This kind of thing has been in officialdom for a long time, so it is not surprising.

The two soldiers were also anxious, sweating profusely.

Guo Honglu said: "You search carefully to see if there is anything on the prince that can prove his identity, or can find some clues to the cause of his death." If we can find some clues, maybe we will be able to make meritorious contributions. ”

"Good! Good! ”

The two soldiers hurriedly began to search up and down Xingdi's body.

"I'll do it!"

Guo Honglu saw that these two people were in a hurry, so he simply joined the search camp himself. He touched Xing Dark's waist, then reached into his arms again, and suddenly, his hand locked back as if it were electrocuted!

He ...... He's alive! ”

Guo Honglu's eyes were bigger than copper bells!

"General Guo, what do you say? The prince is already dead, you see that he is so injured, how can he not die? Even if the injury didn't kill him, he didn't know how long he soaked in the muddy river, and he choked on the water enough to drown! ”

"Nope! The prince is really alive! I felt his heartbeat! Get out of the way! ”

"General Guo, it must be your delusion!"

"Not a delusion! Get out of the way! ”

Guo Honglu didn't believe that he had a delusion, he carefully pressed his hand on Xing Di's chest, and then, he could clearly feel Xing Di's ups and downs of the faint heartbeat, although it was very faint and faint, if he didn't deliberately feel it, he basically couldn't detect it, but he still found it! The stars really have a heartbeat!

"The prince is not dead? But he's dead! ”

The soldiers couldn't believe it either!

"As long as there is a heartbeat, I am not dead! Fast! Fast! Lift him up! Let's take him to ......" Guo Honglu also hesitated, the prince is dying like this, where should he take him? Going to the Royal Palace? Or go to the Yamen? Or go to a witch doctor to treat him?

"General Guo, where are we going?" Two soldiers had already lifted the star.

"Go to Xingyue Tower!"

Guo Honglu suddenly made a bold decision!

"Bang Bang!"

The hurried knock on the door woke up Li Changsheng, the shopkeeper of the restaurant!

"Who knocks on the door in the middle of the night? Looking for death? And go through the back door! Don't let people sleep? Li Changsheng lived in the backyard, so the knock on the door was the first to wake him up.

"Shopkeeper Li, open the door! It's me! ”

"Who are you?"

"Guo Honglu!"

"What are you doing so late? No, it's so early, it's dawning soon! If there's something you need to do again in the morning! Li Changsheng recognized Guo Honglu's voice, his hazy drowsiness also receded, and he was much more awake. At this time, Guo Honglu led people to slam the door desperately, there must be something in a hurry, maybe it was a bad thing. He didn't dare knock on the door. After running a restaurant for so many years, he still has such a little vigilance.

"Open the door! I'm looking for the Night Girl! Very, very urgent! Guo Honglu's voice was very eager!

"You wait! I'll open the door right away! ”

When Li Changsheng heard that he was looking for the night girl, he didn't hesitate and immediately opened the door. He knew that no matter what Guo Honglu was, he wouldn't dare to fight Xuanyue's idea.

"Quick! Go and invite the Night Maiden! ”

As soon as the door opened, Guo Honglu let two soldiers carry Xing Dark to break in!

Li Changsheng followed behind and said, "What are you doing?" Who are you carrying in the middle of the night? It's blood, it can't be a dead man, right? ”

Guo Honglu's expression was very solemn and hideous, he grabbed Li Changsheng's collar, and was angry: "Quick! Call the Night Maiden right now! Also, don't alarm anyone! By the way, what about your wife? ”

Li Changsheng said: "I took my children back to the countryside to visit relatives." ”

Guo Honglu said: "So you are alone in the room? ”

Li Changsheng said: "Yes! I'm alone! ”

Guo Honglu said: "You two, bring people to Shopkeeper Li's room!" ”

Li Changsheng said confusedly: "Guo Honglu, what do you want to do?" ”

Guo Honglu roared in a low voice: "It is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is injured, you hurry up to find the night girl, if there is a mistake in delaying time, you can't afford it!" ”

"Ahh

Li Changsheng exclaimed in surprise, and then immediately went straight to Tanyun Pavilion.

Xuan Yue almost raised the light skill to the highest speed and rushed to Li Changsheng's room. At the door, I saw the bloody starry darkness lying on the bed, and tears fell down my eyes.

"Night Maiden."

Guo Honglu saw Xuanyue appear at the door, but he stood with tears in his eyes and refused to come in, he quickly got up and said hello: "Night girl, the prince is not dead yet." He was out of breath, but his heart was still faint. I know you know you can heal, so I'm bringing the prince to you! ”

When it was over, he added: "Only I know about this matter, and no one else knows." I'll tell the two men who came with me not to talk nonsense, so that the Night Maiden can rest assured that no one will know about it. ”

Guo Honglu knew that many people outside were looking for Xing Dark, and if he leaked the whereabouts of Xing Dark, he was afraid that he would be in constant trouble.
