Chapter 3 Red on the Snow III

The lack of moon hangs dredging paulownia, and the initial tranquility of people is missing. I only saw a lonely person, ethereal and lonely.

Xie Mingyuan, who no one knows how many big characters there are, has never heard such a poem, but he can swear to God that when he was young, his father, who had gone to private school, said clearly and clearly that there are no gods in this world.

But if it's not a god, why did it come from heaven?

Tonight is the fullest moon in March. The figure like a fairy descending to earth, flying in the moonlight, with a faint halo around it, ethereal like a lonely shadow, gently falling on the ground in the courtyard.

For a moment, Xie Mingyuan was so nervous that he forgot to breathe, for fear that he would accidentally disturb the fairy.

The next moment, however, he felt as if his heart had risen to his throat.

Because those eyes that didn't seem to belong to the mortal world looked at themselves.

He smelled a faint fragrance. The scent seemed to come from far, far away, and he felt as if he was about to float up, warm and warm enough to forget all his troubles.

The next moment, he lost all consciousness and fell under the tree with a faint thud of falling to the ground.

Ye Qingxue didn't know why the inconspicuous night watchman showed such a look before fainting, but she knew very well that this person would not wake up again before dawn, so she stopped looking at that place, and gently touched her toes on the slightly wet mud and swept forward.

Suddenly, she stopped only a step away from the hallway behind her study.

In the middle of the corridor there are two crimson pillars, each with a delicate lamp next to it. At the moment, the lights were emitting a bright, soft light that illuminated most of the backyard.

She stared at the two bright lights for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in her cold and unusually calm eyes.

Then she closed her eyes.

It's just a small squire of the Criminal Department, and there is even a formation laid down by an extremely rare formation master among cultivators in his mansion!

Feeling the flow of imperceptible soul power in the air in front of and behind the corridor, Ye Qingxue suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes became colder and colder.

Formation masters in the cultivation world are rare, and that is because studying formations requires several times more energy and time than ordinary cultivators. More importantly, although the role of the formation is ever-changing, one thing will not change, even if it is a powerful formation, it cannot be created out of nothing, and the formation and arrangement of the formation must use various materials. With these materials that can rely on the soul power of the formation master, a formation can be effective.

It is extremely difficult to train a formation master, and it is even more difficult to arrange a formation law. However, with just one glance, Ye Qingxue could see that the array in the corridor did not have any power to hurt people, but could only detect the flow of soul power around the formation.

Once a cultivator other than the one who set up the formation lands his soul power in the array, the entire formation will be activated.

This is a "surprise array".

The two bright lights, one on the left and one on the right, are the "eyes of the array" used in the arrangement.

Although a shock array of this magnitude would not even have the effect of stopping ordinary people, it was enough to alert the guards scattered around the mansion.

Thinking about it, Lord Squire, he must not have had a very good life over the years, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much money to set up such a formation here.

I don't know if he will often dream of those people who are buried in mass graves after death, whether he will be like her a few years ago, and will be awakened by those bloody figures every night.

Will you regret the decision you made in the first place?

These thoughts flashed through her mind, and she decided to start breaking the formation.

It is not difficult to break the formation itself, but if it is difficult to forcibly destroy the formation directly with soul power, the person who arranges the formation will know as soon as possible that Ye Qingxue does not know where that person is at this time, so she has to change her approach.

She closed her eyes again, quietly mobilizing the soul power in the sea of knowledge.

Those soul powers escaped from the sea of consciousness, and outside her body, the purity of those soul powers was so high, and even condensed in the void like wisps of thread-like shapes, floating in the air.

As the thought moved, those bright lines began to slowly drift away, drifting towards the corridor, drifting closer to the light under the stanley, melting into the bright light.

It was as if a wind was blowing, and the lights were dimmed.

The gloom was so short, even faster than a blink of an eye, a breath.

But when the lights came back on in front of the hallway, the people who were standing there had disappeared.

Li Yanfeng took a sip of the tea that was still steaming, sighed with satisfaction, put down the tea bowl, and picked up the file on the desk again.

The tea is the best tribute tea sent by the Zheng family in Tianhai County, and the bowl is also the Yinzhou blue-glazed porcelain bowl presented by the Zheng family. When Li Shilang was only Li Shusheng, he became friendly with the Zheng family, a local prominent family in Tianhai, and he was only the second leader of the criminal department, but he could drink tea exclusively for the royal family, which of course had some unspeakable past.

This is the study of the squire of the Criminal Department, so the most placed in the room are the files about the recent criminal cases that have occurred in various parts of Great Xia. The files were stacked one after the other, from the desk in the middle of the study to the floor, and each stack was placed so neatly that at a glance it was impossible to see how many volumes there were.

There are so many case files, even if you don't do anything for a whole month, you can't read them all, but Li Yanfeng goes out of the yamen every day and returns home, except for occasionally going out for entertainment, the biggest pleasure is to sit in his own study and read these criminal case files.

For him, those files are not just files, but one opportunity after another that may appear at any time.

Opportunities for promotion.

The territory of the Great Xia Dynasty is really very wide, and there are too many princes and generals of the Great Xia Dynasty, and these officials always have to do something when they are alive, so they will definitely make mistakes. If they don't make mistakes, there will be no need for the Criminal Department to exist, and he, Li Yanfeng, will have no chance to stand in a high position.

After being an official in the Criminal Department for a long time, Li Yanfeng knows better than ordinary people that the cases that can reach him, a squire, will not be ordinary small cases, at least they are all big cases involving state-level officials. Investigating such a case and getting the appreciation of Lord Shangshu and even His Majesty the Emperor is what he cares about the most.

What he was reading at the moment was an article about someone secretly reporting to the Criminal Department the day before yesterday that Yuncheng, the god general who led the elite of the 100,000 Great Xia Northern Army to guard the Xueling Pass in the northwest, was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. The report letter is not signed, but the so-called evidence listed in it can make people can't help but have some reverie.

Soon, the letter was copied into the case file of the Criminal Department, and then placed on the desk of the Criminal Department's Shangshu, and then sent to Li Yanfeng's study.

He joined the army at the age of sixteen, and a year later he became a lieutenant in the Northern Army of Great Xia, at that time, not many people knew the stubborn boy surnamed Yun. Although the captain is only a small rank in the army, if this little captain only took twenty years to sit on the position of general and become the youngest god general in the Great Xia Military Department, then when people look back at his past, they will feel that the position of captain also has some magical colors.

Thinking of the arrogant young general, thinking of his grim face that seemed to never smile whether he was standing or sitting, the corners of Li Yanfeng's mouth flashed with a sneer.

He didn't believe that Yun Cheng would be willing to act as a traitor, but it wasn't because he thought that General Yun was loyal to Great Xia, or because he had any good impression of this young man who had been promoted to general at a young age, because neither the powerful Mu Qin Dynasty in the south of Tianling, nor the barbarian tribes outside the Northwest Sai, or even the Merman Sea Kingdom far above the East China Sea, could not have tempted him enough.

At the age of thirty-six, he became a god general, and he was already regarded as the most promising of the current forty god generals in Great Xia to become a general in the military department, thus becoming the one with the pinnacle of power in the Great Xia Dynasty.

If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, but the appearance of this case file now means that it doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, the important thing is that someone wants to make that General Yun a traitor.

"After so many years of Great Xia An, those big people who are not willing to be lonely are finally going to make some waves?"

Will this be the beginning, or is it just a joke made by the big guys in their spare time?

Li Yanfeng has no way of knowing for the time being, so after carefully reading this dossier three times, he decided to wait for a good show.

It's just that this big drama hasn't started yet, and the white faces and red faces haven't yet taken the stage, and the young god general who is far away in the northwest is afraid that he can't sit still!

With a squeak, the night breeze blew open the window, and a cool breeze poured in the moisture outside the window, blowing the candle flame on the desk to begin to flicker and flicker.

Li Yanfeng frowned, but decided to get up and close the window.

It's just that when he turned around and wanted to sit down and continue to consult the case file, at some point, there was another person in the room.

The man's eyes looked like an iceberg was asleep, and he was unusually cold.
