Early in the morning, a team of sergeants wearing armor and swords suddenly came from outside the Qilin Mansion, and the guards guarding the door rushed into the mansion to inform the lord of the Qilin Mansion that he was silent. Lewen. Shan Chengji is the elder of the Qilin Clan, the same generation as the Qilin Clan Leader Shan Lingtian, his status and prestige in the clan are extremely high, and he is the key figure used by the Beast Domain Leader to suppress the Qilin Clan under house arrest in Panlong City.

After a while, the elderly Lonely Chengji walked out of the mansion slowly with a slightly stumbling step and the support of the two maids, and behind Lonely Chengji were four guards of the Qilin Mansion.

"I don't know which friend arrived at my Qilin Mansion? The old man has missed the welcome, and he hopes to forgive his sins!" Standing on the steps outside the gate of the mansion, he made a deep gesture towards the carriage parked among the sergeants, although he didn't know who the person was yet, but when he saw the dragon flag hanging on the carriage, he already knew that the person who came must be a royal nobleman.

Hearing the voice of Lonely Chengji, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and then Qiu Lao, who was dressed in cloth, got out of the car, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he greeted him with a smile on his face, and said: "Qiu Lao came to beg for mercy, and I hope that my predecessors will atone for their sins." ”

"Oh!" Silence Chengji looked at it, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "It turned out that the general arrived, damn it! While saying this, Lonely Chengji walked towards Qiu Lone.

At this moment, there was a carriage behind Qiu Lone, and when Qiu Lao got out of the car, two people walked down from the carriage behind him, one Yulou, and the other was Liu Sandao. Lonely Chengji didn't know the two of them, but they were followers who followed Qiu Lone, so they didn't pay attention to it.

Lonely Chengji and Qiu Lonely exchanged a few words without saying a word, and then walked into the Qilin Mansion with each other's arms, it seemed that the two of them were very familiar at the moment, as if they were old friends meeting each other.

Entering the main hall of the Qilin Mansion and sitting down with the guests, Cheng Ji first ordered his subordinates to serve tea, and then laughed dryly, and cut to the point: "The general has a lot of opportunities, I don't know what kind of wind actually blew the general here today?"

"It's not a big deal. Qiu Lao replied with a faint smile, "It's just that there is something I want to ask my seniors." ”

"The general just asks, and the old man must know everything and say everything. Shan Chengji stroked his beard and laughed, "I haven't had a visitor to this house for a long time, and today the general can come and say a few words to the old man, and the old man is grateful." ”

Qiu Lao smiled slightly and said, "I heard that there is a housekeeper named Shan Kang in the house, but is there such a thing?"

"Lonely Kang?" said with a nod of silence, "There is indeed this person, who is the housekeeper of my house." How did the general ask him in a good manner? But what trouble did Shankang cause the general?"

Qiu Lone's eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head and said, "That's not true, it's just that I want to ask where this great housekeeper is now?"

Lonely Chengji was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked the maid beside him, "Where is the Lonely Kang people?"

"Back to the master, the big butler hasn't come back since he went out yesterday. The maid whispered in agreement.

"Oh?" "Lonely Chengji frowned, "There is such a thing?" After saying that, Lonely Chengji also looked at Qiu Lonely with a wry smile on his face, and apologized, "Let the general laugh, the old man is old, and he rarely pays attention to these subordinates on weekdays, and he doesn't know where Lonely Kang has gone." Hehe......"

"It turns out that the seniors don't know yet?" Qiu Lao pretended to be surprised, and then showed a hint of regret on his face, and said softly, "There is an unfortunate thing I should tell the seniors, the chief housekeeper of your mansion, Lin Kang, was killed at the Longgeng Inn at noon yesterday. ”

As soon as Qiu Lone's words came out, Lonely Chengji's eyes changed slightly, and then a look of surprise and sadness instantly surged into his face, and said, "There is such a thing? old man...... The old man still doesn't know ...... Although this Shankang is my housekeeper, he is also the nephew of the old man in the clan, how can he ...... How could someone kill him?"

Although Lonely Chengji's performance was smooth, Yulou, who was sitting next to Qiu Lone, was still cautious about the strangeness in his eyes when he heard the news just now. Yulou concluded that Shan Chengji must have known about this matter for a long time, and his sad performance at the moment was deliberately feigned.

"What happened to be such a big thing, the seniors didn't even know about it?" Qiu Lonely said in disbelief, "This matter has now spread all over Panlong City. ”

"The old man has always been in poor health and rarely goes out, so he really doesn't know anything about this matter......" Shan Chengji sat down in his chair with a sad face, as if he was immersed in the grief of Lonely Kang's death, and suddenly lost interest in what Qiu Lone said next.

"Isn't Elder Lonely curious about who killed Lonely Kang?" Yu Lou couldn't help but ask.

Silence Chengji glanced at the Jade Tower, and asked casually, "Who is Your Excellency?"

"This is a guest at the Longgeng Inn yesterday. "He witnessed the death of Lonely with his own eyes. Qiu Lone suddenly turned around as he spoke, and asked with a smile, "Yesterday, there were a few guards in your mansion who were taken back by the city army for questioning, didn't the seniors know about this matter?

Shi Chengji coughed lightly twice, and prevaricated: "Yesterday, I was not very comfortable and had been sleeping in the room and ordered my subordinates not to disturb anything, so ...... It really made the general laugh. I just don't know who the murderer is?

"If not, I wouldn't have come here to disturb my seniors. Qiu Lao smiled, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Sandao, and said to Shan Chengji, "This brother saw with his own eyes yesterday that the murderer of Shan Kang fled to the same place after fleeing from the Long Geng Inn. ”

"Really?" At this moment, Cheng Ji changed the tiredness on his face before, and a faint cold light inadvertently flashed in his cloudy old eyes, his eyes stared at Liu Sandao tightly, and said, "I don't know where this little brother saw the murderer fleeing?"

Liu Sandao turned a blind eye to the cruel eyes of Lonely Chengji, and said bluntly: "I fled here, and escaped into your Qilin Mansion." ”

"Bang!"

Before Liu Sandao could finish speaking, a big man of the Qilin clan sitting opposite suddenly stood up, pointed at Liu Sandao's nose and scolded: "What are you?

The big man who opened his mouth was the son of Lonely Chengji, Lonely Hongshan.

"Be careful what you say, and beware of having your tongue cut. Liu Sandao still had a cynical smile on his face, but a chill flashed inadvertently in his eyes when he looked at Shan Hongshan.

"You ......"

"Hongshan stop!" "Silence Chengji stopped Lonely Hongshan's angry reprimand, turned his head to look at Qiu Lonely, and said with a smile: "General, you came to my Qilin Mansion early in the morning, didn't you come to entertain the old man?"

"Human lives are at stake, not to mention that the murder happened in Panlong City. Qiu Lone said, "The seniors should know what kind of character Qiu is, I have always been unable to rub sand in my eyes, since this matter has been confirmed that the person who killed Shankang is in the Qilin Mansion, then Qiu Mou has to find out." This matter is not only to give an explanation to the predecessors and the Qilin Mansion, but also to give an explanation to His Majesty the Emperor. You can't just ignore this kind of bloody case under the nose of His Majesty the Emperor, right?"

Silence Chengji smiled dryly: "Even if it is investigated, this kind of murder should be investigated by the Panlong City Army, and it will not alarm the general to personally inquire about such a trivial matter, right?"

"If I hadn't happened to be at the Longgeng Inn yesterday, I wouldn't have asked about this kind of thing. Qiu Lonely didn't eat it, and said unhurriedly, "It's just that I also witnessed the killing of Shan Kang yesterday, and the murderer is by no means an idle person, at least a master of the Soul Yuan realm, and it's not one person, it's three." Three Soul Yuan realm masters openly killed the Qilin Mansion Grand Butler in Panlong City, did the seniors think that this matter could be solved by the ordinary city army? The Soul Yuan masters did not say that there were three, even if only one appeared in Panlong City, it would be a great threat to the safety of our royal family, how could this general not personally intervene? This matter is very important, and I hope that the seniors will understand Qiu's difficulties. ”

"What if the old man tells the general that there are no three thieves in my house?" asked quietly.

"Elder Lonely, in order to protect the reputation of the Qilin Clan, I can completely understand it. Yulou smiled lightly, "It's just that those three thieves are all top masters of the Soul Yuan realm, such masters are by no means idle people, they must understand the truth that the more dangerous the place, the safer, so they want to deliberately hide in the Qilin Mansion, because no one can think that the murderer who killed the big butler of the Qilin Mansion is hiding in the Qilin Mansion." And Elder Silence himself just said that you had been resting in the room yesterday because you were sick, so it is understandable that you don't know about this matter, and it is not surprising. ”

Yulou used the excuse that Shan Chengji had made to refute him, which made Silence Chengji not know how to answer for a while, and his face was blue and red for a while, so he was not embarrassed.

"Actually, the Great General is also thinking about the safety of Elder Lin and everyone in the Qilin Mansion. Yulou continued, "After all, there are three such thieves hiding in the mansion, which is also a great hidden danger for Elder Shan. ”

"That's good!" Qiu Lao nodded, "Yes or not, please ask my seniors to let my men search, if they really find it, then there is Qiu Mou here today, and none of the three of them can escape." If it is not found, it can also eliminate the threat of the Qilin Mansion, and the seniors can continue to recuperate in the mansion with peace of mind. ”

"What kind of place should you be?" "This is the Qilin Mansion, if you dare to search here, it is not only against my father, but also at the entire Qilin Clan." General, you have to think twice about what you do!"

"Panlong City has the rules of Panlong City, even the Qilin Clan can't shield thieves who are a threat to the Beast Domain Royal Family. Qiu Lone's eyes were cold, and he fought back mercilessly, "If I am safe after searching today, then Qiu Lone is willing to set up a banquet to make amends to the Qilin clan in the future." Someone, search for me!"

"General!" "Silence Chengji stood up abruptly and stopped Qiu Lonely's words, staring at Qiu Lonely with a cloudy face, and after a long time, he pleaded weakly like a deflated ball, "Can the General take a step to speak?"

Qiu Lao saw that Lonely Chengji couldn't hold his breath, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, waved his big hand, and said righteously: "The predecessors have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Qiu Mou has always been a bright and upright person, and he is not afraid of shadows, so I don't need to borrow a step." ”

Seeing that Qiu Lonely was soft and hard, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "It's not a secret, now that there are guests visiting my house, it is not convenient for the general to search wantonly." ”

"Guest?" Qiu Lao frowned and asked, "I don't know who the distinguished guest is?"

"Isn't your guest the one who killed Shankang?" Liu Sandao sneered mockingly.

"What is your identity, when will it be your turn to speak as an outsider here?" said angrily, "You will get out of the Qilin Mansion for me now!"

Qiu Lao said: "He is a witness recruited by General Ben, and no one can let him leave without General Ben's order." ”

Shi Chengji really didn't want to watch this farce endlessly, so he simply said directly: "Don't hide it from the general, the guests in my mansion are settled in the mansion by the Beast Domain Sect Master." "Lonely Chengji moved out of Lonely Ling Tian to suppress Qiu Lonely, trying to make him retreat from the difficulty, and stop pestering him," the general wants to break the casserole and ask if it's okay, but you have to figure out who you're provoking by doing this first. ”

"The guest invited by the sect master?" Qiu Luo muttered hesitantly, "The guest invited by the sect leader should not be the down-and-out sect leader Dongfang Su of the Holy Land, right?"

"The old man doesn't know what the general is talking about?" Shan Chengji snorted coldly, "I only know that if the general insists on entanglement again, it will be clear that he will not give me face for the Qilin clan and the sect leader." ”

Qiu Lao shook his head and smiled: "Qiu Mou is just acting impartially, not to give face to anyone, not to mention that the public is public, and the private is private, I don't know when the predecessors saw me Qiu Lao and when he did things because of the lack of face?" The Phoenix Clan is also a divine beast, but as a royal family, the Taigu Panlong is still above the Qilin Clan and the Phoenix Clan in terms of momentum and coercion, so as soon as Qiu Lone's aura came out, Shan Chengji and Shan Hongshan suddenly reacted Who is the person sitting in front of them at this moment? This is the number one master in the Taigu Panlong Clan, the general of the Beast Domain who has never even taken Feng Chenghuang in his eyes, Qiu Lone.

"The general insisted on searching it. "It's just ...... It's just that the stakes are big, and it is a matter of the face of my Qilin clan, and the old man can't be the master himself. The first day of the next month is the thousand-to-se birthday of His Majesty the Emperor, and the sect leader will go to the Panlong Imperial City to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, so the old man hopes that the general can wait for the sect leader to consult with him after arriving in Panlong City, and then send someone to search the palace. How?"

"There are still seven days until the first day of the next month, and a lot can happen in seven days?" Liu Sandao urged impatiently, "If you have this time, you will already run away." ”

Hearing Liu Sandao's words, the faces of Cheng Ji and Qiu Lonely changed at the same time. Originally, after he learned that the three ancestors of Xuanzong were hiding in the Qilin Mansion, he originally wanted to come to discuss with Lin Chengji by himself, and then he thought of a foolproof plan to explain to Lu Yifan, but he never expected that Lu Yifan would send Yulou and Liu Sandao to the scene early in the morning to "supervise the army", in order to coax Lu Yifan to help him deal with Ling Ling Tian and seize the position of the leader of the Beast Domain, Qiu Lone at this moment could only endure the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"The Great General......

"Don't say it again!" Without waiting for Cheng Ji to speak again, Qiu Lonely suddenly waved his hand, his expression suddenly became solemn, and his eyes were gloomy, "This matter has been decided by General Ben, and he will search the mansion immediately, without delay! As for the sect leader, when he comes, General Ben will personally give him an explanation!"

......
