Half a month ago, the watchman found in the night that there were 16 gloomy blood characters in front of the gate of Dali Temple, "Grievances are difficult to snow, heaven is unfair, ghosts ask for life, don't complain", and a series of strange and unspeakable murders occurred in the city.

So far, there have been four homicides, and the dead are a variety of people.

Butchers, prostitutes, scholars, merchants, not only did the four of them have withered their flesh and skin as if they had been sucked up by evil spirits, but they were also brutally murdered along with their relatives and friends who had some connection with them.

There is no longer the bustling and bustling of the past, and at dusk, every family stays at home and waits for it. Even those Qinglou Chu Pavilions did not dare to solicit more business at night, and they all closed their doors early to seek peace and security. In such a huge capital, the night suddenly became empty, like a ghost realm without any people.

The imperial court has also enacted a curfew and even sent troops to patrol, but the killings continue to occur.

Even in the fifth case, almost everyone was talking about it, and they were horrified in their hearts. The deceased this time was a pen servant of the household department. Putting aside the term "ghost", this series of eerie bloody cases alone is enough to make people shudder.

The bloodshed of the past few days has been tied to the hearts of the people of Gyeonggi like a thin string, and now it is gradually becoming tighter, and if the source of this murder cannot be found, it will soon cause everyone to be in danger. This string is getting weaker and weaker, I am afraid that it is about to break, once people's minds are in danger, the resentment of the court for a long time to solve the case and restore the Qingming will accumulate higher and higher, if this introduction ignites a flame for people, and something suddenly erupts, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

This is also the capital of the country, in addition to the foreign tigers, the undercurrent in the territory is also like a pack of wolves around, not to be slack.

The atmosphere in the DPRK and China is becoming more and more anxious about this bloody case, which has been pending until now, and the people's hearts are becoming more and more unstable, and the fire of the prairie is burning with great speed in the dark places that cannot be seen by the naked eye, and in the eyes of some keen people, the undercurrent of decay in Kyoto can already be seen.

In such a grim situation, there was a mighty team sent by the envoy of Yu State who had been welcomed into Yuecheng at this moment.

Under the strict defense of all parties in Beijing, the sixth murder case was presented in an arrogant manner, mocking the court of the Ul Kingdom. The person who died tragically this time was the envoy of the Yu State who had just entered Beijing, which prompted the undercurrent waves to reach another peak, and even provoked the war between Wei and Yu.

At this moment, the night was dark, and the soldiers who were patrolling had already stood in place, ready for battle, and their faces were all respectful.

A dazzling white dispelled the gloom ahead, the sound of horses' hooves was like a wind and clouds, snow-white horses, bright clothes, and slender bodies stood in front of the queue in an instant, and the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time sang in unison: "Yun Shuai!" ”。

Yun Yanzheng bowed his head at them, and even though he stared silently, there was a calm and steady momentum pouring out of the standing figure. It's a battle-hardened majesty and a faith that thousands of soldiers are committed to following.

After a pause, she raised the reins again and rode away from the column. Since Hezhou heard the news, he rushed back all the way, wearing the stars and the moon, and the spy report he received was still out of control after all. The officials sent by the Wei State and the officials of the Yu State were at the border between the two countries, and they could not negotiate peace for a long time on the bloody case. Yu Guo did not give in for half a step, no matter how the envoys of Wei Guo spoke with lotus flowers and apologized, they all resolutely demanded that Wei Guo arrest the murderers as soon as possible, so that they could punish them for their crimes in order to comfort the souls of the dead and revive the prestige of the country; However, the Gyeonggi Bloody Case in Ulguo has not been solved to this day, so how can the murderers be handed over to Yuguo to pay tribute to the dead in order to comfort the neighbors?

This envoy who encountered a bizarre murder and a terrible death in the Wei State was Fan Wu, the servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Yu State, and the most important thing was that he had another identity and was one of the favored ministers of the Empress of the Yu State. The Yu Kingdom has always been respected by the empress, and in addition to the imperial husband who is included in the head of the jade in the harem, there are many favorites. These servants are the sons of their servants; It can also be the minister of the DPRK and China, and there is also a jade-faced Langjun from all sides.

Fan Wuqi's face is like a crown of jade, the literary quality is courteous, the demeanor is clear, and the export is a chapter, which is one of the top three in the imperial examination of Yuguo three years ago. was favored by the empress, recruited as a favored minister, and given the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and it was rumored that he won the emperor's heart and was quite loved. Now he was sent to Wei to discuss the exchange of commercial markets on the border between the two countries, but he was unexpectedly killed in a tragic disaster. The empress of Yu was inexplicably sad and indignant when she heard this, and let the envoys of Wei go to mediate in all kinds of ways, and even used a lot of money to buy the important ministers of Yu to mediate from them, and promised all kinds of gold and silver property, but she was always unmoved and resolutely wanted to seek justice for her.

As the superior of a large country, he is so affectionate and affectionate, and no one in the country has died to admonish and consol, which is really thought-provoking?

When the spy news came on the way, the army of Yu State had already moved, and it seemed that it was gathering one after another, and there was a faint tendency to approach the border of Wei State.

Once the war between the Ul State and the Yu State starts in the north, if there is a defeat, then the Mo State connected to the eastern soil of the Ul State may not just be a wall-by-side spectator, the Yu State is like a jackal, and the Mo State is like a tiger.

If Mo Guo did not participate in the war in the east and eyed the cities of Wei State, he would definitely take advantage of the fire to rob and let Wei State take advantage of the situation to coerce and pay tribute to it in order to maintain the peace of the two countries.

Once the balance of the three kingdoms is broken, what will the Chengguo do that is across the ocean from the Ul Kingdom? Do you want to form a friendly alliance with the Ul country to fight against the enemy chieftain, or do you want to get involved in the land of the Ul country and join this melee to seek the greatest benefits?

Yun Yan marched with horses and horses around the streets of Yuecheng, and everywhere she went, the guards on patrol quickly lined up to salute when her unmistakable white robe and silver bell snow horse came into view. All the soldiers of the Ul Kingdom took the Nine Heavens Cavalry who were able to join the big and small battles without defeat, defend the country, and protect the people of Li as an example, and they all took it as an honor to be appreciated and favored by the commander of the Nine Heavens Cavalry.

She was once the four princesses of the country who were famous for their talent and appearance, and one of the four beauties of Kyushu. Now she is the "Phoenix Dance Eldest Princess" who has won the title of the new emperor, and she is the Yun Shuai who has reshaped the glory of the year with the power of one person and leads this nine-day horse that shocks the border. Her reputation among the people and the army is growing stronger and stronger.

When the emperor was alive, she had recovered the three cities of Longyan in the great battle with the barbarians at the border pass, and led her Nine Heavens Cavalry to become famous in a battle, not only obtained the princess's mansion given by the first emperor, but also expanded the strength of the Nine Heavens Cavalry in the subsequent rebellion and foreign wars, making them one-third of the actual combat army of the Wei Kingdom, and became the right-hand man of the first emperor at that time, and an indispensable iron cavalry army both outside and inside.

But after the death of the first emperor and the succession of the new emperor, this glory and trust underwent a major change. From beginning to end, it was clear that the people supported by the Nine Heavens Rider were only Yun Yanzheng, not their new emperor. The new emperor couldn't do anything about this, and Yun Yanzheng knew it.

She must not leave behind these soldiers who have been born and died with her, or even raised with one hand, even if she knows that she cherishes her feathers so much and supports her own dignity, she will be burned and will make the new emperor more and more suspicious of her; But once she lets go, she is afraid that not only will she not be able to retreat, but even the Nine Heavens Cavalry, which guards the country like an iron wall, will be disintegrated, and those soldiers who are loyal to her home country will also be persecuted by the supreme people.

Holding the weight of power, there is no doubt that there is a risk of breaking the head at any time.

She is the only bloodline of the former queen, and she should have a noble status, but if it weren't for her daughter, she would have been unable to protect herself; The new emperor is from Concubine De, and the same mother is still fighting in the same room, bloody and stabbing each other, let alone them? The new emperor is narrow and suspicious, she wants to control the military power, protect herself and inherit the Bai family's painstaking efforts to protect the family and the country, the army and the people, it is undoubtedly a tiger skin, step by step is like walking on the ice in the abyss, how can you not step by step, think twice.

Yuecheng, this sudden bloody case, I don't know if it's against her? Or is it for the new emperor who has not yet ascended the throne? Or is it their whole country?

There is also a third brother in the letter mentioning that he will bring someone back, at such a dangerous moment in Yuecheng, what kind of person will it be, so worthy of being so valued by the always idle Prince Heng? In the past few days, the palace of King Heng has been very busy, it is said that the prince has not yet arrived home, and on the way he sent someone to send back a purchase list specially prepared for the guests, and explained that the housekeeper must do it himself, and do it perfectly.

Yun Yanzheng hooked his lips and smiled, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Three days later, at dusk, the sun melted gold between the clouds on the horizon, and the twilight was misty.

A horse-drawn carriage with a light ride kicked up the dust of the hustle and bustle, and drove sharply to the city of Ul Yue before sunset.

When he arrived at the city gate, Bai Jinheng took out a four-clawed dragon token carved from white jade from his sleeve and handed it out of the car window.

The general guarding the gate waited by the carriage, and after carefully examining his jade plaque with both hands, he then commanded the soldiers and the common people entering and leaving the capital to make way for him, and sent a team of soldiers to clear the way for him in front. Recently, the flow of people going out of the city to avoid accidents has been increasing, but this carriage has entered the city unimpeded. Bai Jinheng lowered the curtain in his hand, and the worry in his eyes was undisguised.

No matter how heartless a person is, if he sees the situation in Yuecheng at this moment, he will also be depressed.

Even if others don't realize it, those who are familiar with the grand occasion of Kyoto's treasures in the past, the strange deserted streets at the moment can't help but give birth to a long sigh in their hearts.

Gu Xi never put down the curtain, but picked up the strap by the window to tie up the white veil. His calm gaze looked through the edge of the window, looking at the capital city, which seemed to be extraordinarily silent. In every street scene along the way, the scattered positions of the shops and mansions were reflected in the eyes of those righteous eyes, and the location of these scenes was compared with the map of Yuecheng that he had already seen in his mind, and the mistakes and omissions were corrected one by one, and a new map was quickly formed in his mind little by little.

Wei Guoyue City, he is finally here.
