In the early morning, there were four corpses that were almost burned to charcoal in the lobby of the Qilin Mansion, although they were unrecognizable, but the identities of these four corpses could still be identified through the size and residual decoration, it was the three ancestors of Dongfang Su and Xuanzong who were killed last night, and Longhou was burned into a pool of ashes in the sea of fire last night, and the bones were gone.

Lonely Chengji and Lonely Hongshan stood beside each other with complicated expressions, Lonely Chengji's eyes were full of worry when he looked at the four of Dongfang Su, his fists were clenched and loosened and tightened, and the whole person seemed a little overwhelmed, what he was worried about was not Dongfang Su's life and death, but about Lu Yifan's revenge and the obscure relationship between him and Qiu Lone.

"Elder Shan, the Great General asked me to spread the word that this is the price of contempt for his Great General's orders. "The one who came to deliver the corpse was eight Qiu Lone's own soldiers, and the commander of the leader said to Lin Chengji, "These four people disobeyed the military order, left the Qilin Mansion without authorization yesterday, and also killed the lives of a family of four in the city. ”

Silent Chengji's eyes trembled and slowly raised his head to look at the commander of the pro-soldiers, and asked in a dry voice, "The four of them...... How did you die?"

The commander of the soldiers replied, "Can't Elder Silence see it? ”

"Nonsense!" "Shan Hongshan's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Of course we know that they were burned to death, and who set the fire is my father asking?"

"When General Qiu Lone found them, he besieged them in a house, and when they saw that they were surrounded by heavy surrounds, they set fire to themselves to create chaos and escaped, but the general was wise and powerful, how could these four people resist? After the battle, the general seriously injured the four of them, and they retreated into the courtyard and had no power to return to heaven, so they could only be burned alive by the flames. If it weren't for the general's timely action to extinguish the fire, I'm afraid that the corpses of these four people would not be visible to you today. ”

Listening to such an absurd explanation from the commander of the pro-soldiers, how could he really believe it? Cheng Chengji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Really only the general and his subordinates besieged them yesterday?"

The handwriting leader asked suspiciously, "I don't quite understand what Elder Lin means by this. ”

"These four people are all first-class soul power masters, and they will be burned alive by the fire they set themselves?"

"Are you questioning what the general said?" asked the commander of the pro-soldier with a cold gaze.

"I don't believe ......"

"Hongshan stop!" "Stop talking about Hongshan!" Without waiting for the stalemate between Hongshan and the commander of the army, Lin Chengji was old and his face sank, and he said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense here, who is the general? He is a big man who stands up to the sky, how can he lie to us?"

"I've already sent it back to Elder Lone, and the general said that the disobedience to the military order must be their own decision, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Elder Lone and the Qilin Clan. After saying that, the commander of the pro-army was about to give up his hand, "But they are Elder Lone's guests after all, so it is more appropriate to trouble Elder Loneness about collecting the corpse." If Elder Lin has nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first!"

"Wait a minute!" Silence Chengji was suddenly shocked in a trance, walked forward quickly, stretched out his hand, took out a thick stack of golden tickets from his arms, and quickly stuffed them into the waist of the commander of the pro-soldiers, leaned over and asked with a smile, "The old man still has a little thing I want to ask this little brother to tell him frankly." ”

"This ......" The commander of the pro-soldiers looked at the smiling Cheng Ji hesitantly, reached into his waist and wanted to take out the golden ticket to excuse himself, but his fingers only touched the thick pile of golden tickets, and his heart was suddenly shocked, he didn't need to count him to guess that this pile of golden tickets must be worth a lot of money, at this moment he put his hand on his waist and did not enter or exit, but he was a little reluctant to look like that.

"Huh!" how could the cunning old man of Cheng Ji not be able to see through what he meant? He immediately grabbed the wrist of the commander of his own army, pulled his hand out of the golden ticket, and said with a smile, "Although this little brother can rest assured, the old man will only ask about insignificant trivial things, and will never embarrass you." If the little brother feels embarrassed, then just keep silent, and the old man will never force it. As for this little meaning, it should all be the old man's condolences to the brothers who worked hard last night. ”

Hearing Shan Chengji's words, the face of the commander of the personal soldiers softened a little, and then he coughed lightly twice, and asked pretending to be serious: "I don't know what Elder Shan wants to ask?"

"Last night's ......," Shan Chengji carefully considered his words in his heart, and said unhurriedly, "Can they only besiege Dongfang Su last night with the general and his subordinates......?" Other outsiders?"

The commander of the pro-soldiers pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered, "I don't know if there are outsiders, I can only tell Elder Lonely that there was already a fire in the house when we arrived in the alley last night. And at that time...... The general was not in the house, but in the alley, as if waiting for something. And our brothers were the last to listen to the general's orders before going in to collect the corpses. ”

"What?" "Shan Chengji was secretly taken aback in his heart, and then rolled his eyes and asked, "You mean that the person who dealt with them in the courtyard was not the Great General, and the Great General did not lead you to extinguish the fire?"

The pro-soldier commander took a deep breath, then looked left and right a few times, coughed lightly, and quickly replied, "Yes!"

After that, without waiting for Shan Chengji to ask again, the commander of the pro-soldiers had already surrendered his hand and led people to leave the Qilin Mansion quickly. In the hall, only the dazed Lonely Hongshan and the heavy and thoughtful Lonely Chengji were left.

"Dad, what did you just say?" Seeing the outsiders leaving, Shanhongshan couldn't wait to step forward and ask, "But it has something to do with Dongfang Su's death?"

Silence Chengji nodded with a frown, and said faintly: "I suspect that Dongfang Su and they were not killed by Qiu Lone, but ......."

"Lu Yifan!" Shan Hongshan is not stupid, he has already guessed nine times out of ten through Shan Chengji's hard-to-see eyes, "So Lu Yifan has really arrived in Panlong City, and he also started his revenge?"

Silent Chengji was silent, and walked to the chair and sat down, at this moment he was very worried in his heart. Seeing the appearance of Shan Chengji, Shan Hongshan didn't dare to ask more, just stood quietly and stared at the four corpses on the ground with complicated eyes, looking at it intently.

"Not good!" Silence Chengji's eyes flashed, and then he suddenly got up and asked, "The sect leader doesn't know that Lu Yifan has come to Panlong City, and he doesn't know that Lu Yifan and Qiu Lao have already worn a pair of pants, but in the first day of February, the sect leader will go to the imperial city to celebrate the emperor's birthday, so ......"

"Dad means that Lu Yifan and the Taigu Pan Dragon Clan have already done a good job and are waiting for the sect leader to drill?" Shanhong Shan said with a shocked face, "Yes! The sect leader entered the city to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and the soul yuan master with him could not exceed two, if Lu Yifan really wanted to be unfavorable to the sect leader, wouldn't it be a golden opportunity on the first day of the second month? More importantly, the Taigu Pan Dragon Clan might be able to help him that day." The more he spoke, the more frightened he became, and in the end, his face became extremely pale, "Dad, the Emperor will not do this, right?" After all, the Sect Master is also a person from the Beast Domain, no matter how he calculates, he Lu Yifan can only be an outsider, and the Emperor will not deal with the Sect Master for the sake of an unknown outsider, right?"

"It was not possible before, but now it ...... But it's hard to say. Silent Chengji analyzed in a solemn tone, "Don't you forget who is the closest person to Lu Yifan now?"

"Qiu Lonely?" said Lonely Hong Mountain thoughtfully, "Qiu Lonely, Qiu Lonely, Qiu Lonely......"

"After the Fengcheng Phoenix Sect Master died in the Holy Domain, the new Sect Master became the throne that everyone coveted. "Silence Cheng Ji said, "At that time, there were only three people who were most likely to succeed to the position of sect leader, one was our patriarch Ling Tian, one was Feng Yanming, the brother of Feng Chenghuang, and the last one was Qiu Lone, the first master of the Ancient Panlong. Do you remember which of the three of them had the loudest voice?"

"At that time, there were indeed many people who thought that Qiu Lao would become the new Beast Domain Sect Master. Shan Hongshan nodded undeniably, "It's just that I don't know what happened later, the Rakshasa Gate and the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce actually supported the patriarch at the same time, they are rich and powerful, even the royal family is not easy to compete with them, plus the prestige and qualifications of the patriarch are indeed higher than Qiu Lone, and finally the patriarch naturally sat on the throne of the sect leader." ”

Silence Chengji said: "This is the crux of the matter, at that time, the Rakshasa Gate and the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce fully supported the patriarch to succeed to the position of sect leader, but in fact, there were Su Xie behind the scenes who secretly manipulated Fengchenghuang's widow Yufeng and Jiang Tianbao, the president of the Qinghong Chamber of Commerce. If it weren't for the Su Evil section, it would be very likely that the current Beast Domain Sect Master would have changed hands. So Qiu Lonely must be unwilling to do this, but he didn't dare to act rashly because of his identity and the deterrence of Su Xie and the sect leader, but now that Su Xie is dead, there is still a Lu Yifan in Panlong City who is on par with Su Xie in the past, if you are Qiu Lone, what will you do?"

Shan Hongshan's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he said bitterly: "If I were Qiu Lone, then I would definitely take advantage of Lu Yifan's opportunity to avenge the disciples of the Soul Sect and re-compete for the position of the Sect Master of the Beast Domain." ”

"Exactly. "Silence is auspicious," if ...... I mean, if something really happens to the sect leader, who will benefit the most?"

"Qiu Lonely ......" Although Lonely Hongshan doesn't want to admit it, Lonely Chengji's analysis is reasonable, and even a fool can see the current situation.

"Qiu Lao is the number one master of the Taigupan Dragon Clan, and he is the flesh and blood brother of the current emperor, if he can become the leader of the Beast Domain, it will be equivalent to the Beast Domain's civil and military power is in the hands of the Taikopan Dragon Clan. Shan Chengji said quickly, "With such a huge benefit as bait, do you think the Emperor will try to help an unknown outsider deal with the sect master?"

Shan Hongshan was anxious and annoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "In this way, hasn't Panlong City now become a big trap? Then what should we do? We must not watch the sect leader being killed by Lu Yifan and Qiu Lone. ”

"There's one more thing I've been worried about. Shan Chengji pondered, "Before, the sect leader sent a letter informing him that he had sent the Lonely Canghai to escort the birthday gift to the Emperor to Panlong City. The day should have arrived yesterday morning, but why hasn't there been a trace of it until now?"

"Could it be that there is something unforeseen on the lonely sea road?" asked Shan Hongshan worriedly.

"I'm not worried about what happens to the lonely sea on the road. "It's that he's in trouble after entering Panlong City." ”

Shi Chengji was already shocked and didn't know what to say, and when he thought of the current situation, he sighed again and again.

"I suspect that Lonely Canghai was captured by Lu Yifan and forced to ask for news about the sect leader. "Lonely Cheng Ji Dao," Lu Yifan had seen the appearance of the Lonely Sea in Jinling City in the Holy Domain, so Lu Yifan, who had already prepared for the Lonely Sea as soon as he entered Panlong City, would definitely attack him. ”

"Dad, since Qiu Lone brought Qi Yulou and Liu Sandao to Qilin Mansion yesterday, I felt that something was not right, and when I heard you say this today, I feel more and more that this matter is too strange. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Dongfang Su, and said, "Now that even Dongfang Su is dead, it seems that Lu Yifan is really prepared this time, and he plans to fight with us endlessly." What should we do?"

Lonely Chengji stretched out his hand to hold down the somewhat hurried Lonely Hongshan, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic first, there are still six days before the first day of the second lunar month, and we still have a chance to break the trick of Lu Yifan and Qiu Lone." Now the top priority is to send someone to the Rakshasa Gate as soon as possible, inform the sect leader of everything here, and tell the sect leader not to come to Panlong City to celebrate his birthday, so as not to have any accidents. ”

"I'll go!" said Shanhongshan immediately, "I know everything about this matter, and it is only right for me to go." ”

That's what the Father means. Lonely Chengji glanced at Lonely Hongshan quite approvingly, nodded and said, "Telling one more person about this matter is more dangerous, now only God knows that you know and I know, and only you personally run for your father is the most reassuring." Moreover, I hope that through this event, you will be able to make a great note in front of the Master, which will definitely be of great benefit to your future in the future. It's just that I'm worried that Qiu Lonely and Lu Yifan will be wary, so there will be many dangers along the way. Hongshan, although my father wants you to go, he is a little worried about you......"

"Daddy filtered!" "Shan Hongshan was full of ambition, and hurriedly said, "For the sake of the sect master's safety, and for the sake of my Qilin clan's status in the beast domain, even if there are many dangers on this trip, I will go to the ground." ”

"Okay! It is worthy of being my son of Cheng Ji, and he really didn't lose my face. Lonely Chengji was greatly pleased, and nodded again and again, "Back then, our vein has always had the highest status in the Qilin clan, but since the death of your grandfather, our vein has always had no successor, so we have been pressed down by the vein of Lonely Ling Tian and Lonely Father and Son. Although I have a good relationship with Shan Lingtian, I would like to see my son inherit the orthodoxy of the Qilin clan in the future and regain the glory of his ancestors. After this incident, I asked the sect master to take you out of Panlong City, and then you were born in the Rakshasa Gate to practice, and now the elder of the Lonely Ling Tian Clan is old, I believe that it will not take many years for him to be tired of mundane things and live in seclusion in the mountains, and then I hope that the next patriarch of the Qilin Clan will be you Shanhong Mountain. ”

"Dad!" Shan Hongshan listened with tears in his eyes, he has always wanted to make a difference, but because he was under house arrest in Panlong City since he was a child, it is difficult to have the opportunity to show his ambitions, and now when he heard that Shan Cheng Jiran has such a grand arrangement for his future, he suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, "Hongshan must live up to his father's expectations, and he will definitely achieve something great in the future." ”

The father and son rarely chatted a few words of confidant, and after lunch, taking advantage of the noon hour when people were sleepy and tired, Shan Hongshan hurriedly said goodbye to Lonely Chengji, and left the Qilin Mansion from behind in disguise alone, and flew towards the outside of Panlong City.

......

Although Lonely Chengji's reaction was very fast, it was a pity that things could not be as good as they should be? Lonely Chengji still despised Qiu Lonely and Lu Yifan's determination to join forces to deal with Lonely Lingtian after all.

In the evening, Cheng Ji sat at the dining table in the Qilin Mansion and just raised his chopsticks, when a rapid news came from outside the mansion gate, and then he saw a guard of the Qilin Mansion running into the hall in a hurry, and in the hands of this guard, he was still trembling and holding a sandalwood box.

The guard ran into the hall without saying a word, just raised the sandalwood box with trembling hands, and then knelt at the feet of Cheng Ji with a bent "poof", and saw the guard bow his head under the candlelight, and the corners of his eyes were red at some point.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Ji's heart suddenly "chuckled", and he didn't ask half a sentence, but slowly moved his solemn gaze from the guard to the sandalwood box, and slowly stretched out the chopsticks in his hand to pause several times in mid-air, and then inserted it into the copper ring of the sandalwood box lid. Silence Chengji's eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands holding chopsticks couldn't help but tremble violently, only to see him take a deep breath, then his eyelids shook, and with a sharp lift of his wrist, the lid of the sandalwood box was opened instantly.

Inside the sandalwood box, it is the head of the Xiang on the mountain of Shanhong!

......
