Jinling City Period Pavilion

When Li Yi came here with everyone looking for the traces of the Zongzheng Temple and the Tiger Guards stationed there, the gate of the Yiyi Pavilion was already closed at this time.

"Could it be that these guys have already been transferred?"

Looking at the expectation that there was no movement in front of him, An Su was a little worried.

"It shouldn't be! According to the information we interrogated before, the Tiger Guards and Yaowu Army, who were responsible for guarding the thunderstorm, as well as the guards of the vassal kings, were all hiding here! ”

Tang Minghu shook his head and said.

As a native of Jinling City, and a member of the city guard battalion, he still has many channels for inquiring about news in Jinling City.

Just now, he found out through his own channels that the thunderbolt was hidden in the Futures Pavilion.

"In this way, these guys are probably hiding in the Hope Pavilion in order to confuse outsiders."

When Qi Chao heard this, he immediately prepared to step forward and knock on the door.

But then he was stopped by Mu Junhe.

"I'll come."

After speaking, Mu Junhe went up the mountain and knocked on the door.

However, after he knocked for a while, there was no reaction in the later stage.

Mu Junhe couldn't help frowning when he saw that no one came to open the door.

"Senior brother, maybe those people are really not in this Yi Pavilion!"

Seeing this, Li Yi spoke.

"Something is wrong!"

Mu Junhe squinted his eyes and then showed a solemn expression.

"What's wrong?"

Keiko asked, puzzled.

"You don't know that this Pavilion is not an ordinary place!"

Mu Junhe then explained.

"This phase of the Yi Pavilion is a place where the vassal kings of Zongzheng Temple meet, so there have always been people here who stay for a long time and need to be cleaned every day!"

Mu Junhe was taken to the Expired Pavilion by Mu Xiayan before, so he still knew a lot about the situation inside.

"Looks like something happened!"

While everyone was still discussing, the ghost doctor suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone turned their heads and asked.

"There's a smell of blood in this yard!"

The ghost doctor tilted his head slightly, then twitched his nose and said.

"The smell of blood?"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.

Most of them are battle-hardened people.

It stands to reason that they should be very sensitive to the smell of blood.

But they didn't smell any blood.

But the ghost doctor directly said that there was a smell of blood, which couldn't help but make everyone a little suspicious.

But the ghost doctor didn't care about everyone's questioning in the slightest.

He just tilted his head, twitched his nose, and then looked in one direction and walked immediately.

After a moment of walking, he stopped again and continued to tilt his head and snort.

Then he walked forward again.

After repeating this several times, he finally stopped in front of a high wall to the left of the Pavilion.

And everyone only smelled the slightest smell of blood in the air when they walked here.

"Ghost doctor, your nose is smarter than that dog's nose!"

Qi Chao couldn't help but admire when he saw that the ghost doctor could find a bleeding place so far away just by his nose.

"Qi boy, if you can't speak, don't speak, after all, it's easy to hurt yourself if you talk too much!"

The ghost doctor said with a dissatisfied expression.

"Ghost doctor, don't worry, I don't talk much, I won't bother to hurt my body."

When Qi Chao heard this, he thought that the ghost doctor was letting him talk less.

"I'm not saying that you talk too much, I mean I might have to do it if you talk too much!"

The ghost doctor gritted his teeth and threatened.

Qi Chao couldn't help but smile embarrassedly when he heard this, and stopped talking.

Although Qi Chao was confident that he could beat the ghost doctor, he was very afraid of the ghost doctor's various poisons.

He feared that if he continued to talk about it, he would probably be poisoned unknowingly.

Although it is impossible for the ghost doctor to take his own life, the pain of flesh and skin must be indispensable.

"Okay, now isn't the time for you to be naughty, let's go in first and see what's going on!"

Mu Junhe now has a bad feeling.

He always felt that those remaining thunderbolts were probably no longer in this period.

Soon the crowd climbed over the wall.

When they landed in the Pavilion, they found that the scene in front of them was completely different from what they had expected.

In their thoughts, the Prospective Pavilion at this time should be full of corpses and blood.

But now the scene in front of them is a quiet and peaceful scene of lush vegetation, small bridges and flowing water pavilions in the courtyard.

"What's going on?"

Faced with a completely different scene from their imagination, everyone's brains couldn't react at once.

"No, that's where the smell of blood comes from!"

The ghost doctor didn't need to deliberately smell it at this time, and he was already sure that there must have been a lot of blood flowing here.

"That's right, the smell of blood here is indeed very strong, although someone deliberately hid it, but apparently they didn't clean it up."

Mu Junhe also nodded, agreeing with the ghost doctor's judgment.

"But there's any blood here?"

Qi Chao still believes that everything should be seen to be believing.

So he pointed around and signaled to the crowd that there was no blood at all.

But Li Yi frowned at this time.

When they saw that his face was different, they all looked at him.

And Li Yi didn't explain to everyone at this time, he was just walking back and forth around.

"Humph! These guys are secretive. ”

After a while, Li Yi finally stopped, and then he said coldly.

"Senior brother, what did you find?"

When Jingzi saw Li Yi say this, he knew that he must have discovered something, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"You'll know a few steps forward."

Li Yi didn't directly say what he found, he just asked everyone to take a few steps forward.

Hearing this, everyone walked forward.

When they had just taken a few steps, everyone's faces changed.

"Senior brother, those who were killed are at our feet!"

Mu Junhe felt the slightly soft feeling coming from the soles of his feet, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

In fact, he also wondered if the people who were killed were hiding nearby.

However, after he looked at the surrounding vegetation, he didn't notice anything unusual.

It didn't seem like the plants had been deliberately transplanted here.

Even the yellowed grass on the ground didn't show any abruptness.

It was precisely because of this that he completely dispelled his doubts.

And now when he stepped on the ground, he knew he had the right idea in the first place.

It's just that the disguise made by the guy who killed these people was so good that he deceived him, a person who has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years.

"Are you saying that those who were killed were buried under our feet?"

Qi Chao asked incredulously when he heard this.

"It should be!"

Li Yi nodded.

Then Qi Chao directly swung his Glaive Knife and slashed down at the ground.

When his Glaive slashed into the ground, he suddenly felt the touch from the tip of his knife not the feeling of slashing to the ground at all.

He immediately drew his Glaive Blade.

At this time, the tip of the glaive knife was stained with a bit of dirt, and there was a piercing red.

"There's really a body in the fucking ground."

Seeing this, Qi Chao couldn't help but curse, and then he put the Glaive Knife on the surrounding bushes and kept scraping back and forth.

"Who the hell can kill all these guards in such a short period of time, and still bury their bodies under this land without them knowing?"

Li Yi was very puzzled by the death of these guards who were thundering the sky.

It stands to reason that these soldiers who guard the thunder must have been carefully selected by all parties.

The combat strength of these people must be first-class in their respective armies.

And it is somewhat unbelievable that so many people were killed so easily.

The second is that after killing these people, the murderer can perfectly hide the corpse under this flower garden in a very short time, which shows that the other party has already thought of how to dispose of the corpse before he does it.

"These people must be acquaintances who committed crimes!"

Mu Junhe looked around at the situation around the Qi Yi Pavilion, and then said with a serious face.

"Senior brother, are you saying that these people were killed by those vassal kings' guards left behind by Zongzheng Temple?"

Keiko asked, frowning.

"There is this possibility, after all, this is the Expectation Pavilion, relatively speaking, those vassal princes and guards are more familiar with this place."

Mu Junhe said with a deep sigh.

"Since this is the case, it means that those thunderbolts should have been taken away by the people of Zongzheng Temple, so it is not easy for the grassland barbarians to find the estimate."

Jing Zizheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the reason why they came to Jinling City this time was to prevent these thunderbolts from being captured by the grassland army.

And now that the thunderbolt was taken away by the people of Zongzheng Temple, there is no need for them to worry too much.

"No, these thunderbolts may not have been taken by those vassal princes' guards."

Li Yi shook his head at this.

"Childe, why did you say that?"

In the eyes of everyone, Mu Junhe and Jing Zizheng's speculation was reasonable, but now that Li Yi has directly overturned this speculation, everyone can't help but be curious.

"You also saw that there was no trace of a fight around you just now, you may think that this is because the people of the Tiger Guard Army and the Yaowu Army are defenseless against the vassal army, but you ignore a little bit that the people of the Tiger Guard Army and the vassal army have been hostile from the beginning, and the reason why they are united is forced by the situation."

Li Yi directly pointed out the irrationality.

"So now, even if they are assigned to guard the thunder together, then they will definitely not be defenseless against each other, and in my opinion, it is reasonable for them to be wary of each other."

Li Yi continued.

When everyone heard this, they all frowned and pondered.

Before, they thought that Mu Junhe and Jing Zizheng's speculation was reasonable, but after Li Yi said this, they realized that Li Yi's speculation was more reasonable.

In other words, it is impossible to be defenseless against the previous enemy, and even if it is an alliance now, it is impossible to be untroubled.

"But if it weren't for the vassal kings, who would be able to deal with so many masters in silence?"

After Li Yi denied the speculation of Mu Junhe and Jing Zizheng, the problem returned to square one.

"You dig out the corpses from below."

At this time, the ghost doctor suddenly spoke.

"Ghost doctor, do you think these guys were killed after being poisoned?"

Tang Minghu immediately understood the ghost doctor's thoughts.

"You dig up a few corpses, I'll see."

The ghost doctor didn't give a clear answer, he just asked everyone to dig up the body.

Soon, four bodies were dug out of the ground.

Judging from the costumes of these four corpses, two of them were the personal guards of the vassal king, and the other was the last of the Tiger Guards, the last of which was the Yaowu Army.

"It seems that junior brother, your speculation is right, these three parties have casualties, which means that they are indeed not one party to raid the other two."

Keiko said with a sigh after confirming the identity of the corpse.

The ghost doctor then conducted a rigorous examination of the four corpses.

After he had scrutinized the four bodies, he slowly stood up and said with a serious face.

"Judging from the wounds on the corpses, they should have been killed in their sleep after being poisoned by sweat medicine."

The ghost doctor said, pointing to the corpse's neck and chest.

"And according to my speculation, the murderers dug the big pit in the Hope Pavilion before the killing, and then they dragged people into the big pit one by one, and then cut their throats and pierced their hearts."

The ghost doctor drew the process of the murderer's murder.

"No wonder there are no traces of fighting around, and there is no smell of blood elsewhere, it turns out that the big pit under our feet is the first scene of their murder."

Everyone now finally understands the whole process of the other party's killing.

"In this way, it is still the people of Zongzheng Temple who are the most suspicious, even if there are vassal kings and guards in it, but they can dig a pit in advance in this phase of the Yi Pavilion and then easily poison it, which means that they must have been in the Yi Pavilion before."

Keiko is analyzing based on the information he has received so far.

"So this person is likely to be a vassal king in Zongzheng Temple?"

The crowd continued to speculate.

"This possibility is very high, and I even suspect that this matter is likely to be planned behind the temple of Zongzheng Temple."

Keiko said immediately.

And Mu Junhe couldn't help but look a little ugly when he heard this.

After all, Mu Xiayan had saved his life at the beginning, so Mu Junhe really didn't want to believe that he had done it.

But reason told him that according to the current situation, the probability of him doing this was the greatest.

"I don't think it's very likely that Zongzheng Temple is behind this matter."

Just when Mu Junhe's heart was entangled, Li Yi spoke again.

"Senior brother, all the evidence now clearly points to the temple of Zongzheng Temple, why do you say that the probability that he is behind the scenes is not high?"

"Quite simply, while the killers seem to have done a perfect job of killing these people, it is obviously unreasonable for them to ignore the Achilles heel of the smell of blood."

Li Yi looked around and then analyzed to everyone.

"This ······"

When Li Yi said this, everyone began to think.

Indeed, as Li Yi said, since a killer with such an experienced killing method can hide the corpse so well, how can he ignore the smell of blood?

"It seems to me that the smell of blood was deliberately left behind by the killers, and their purpose seems to be to use it to point everyone's suspicion at the temple of Soshoji Temple."

Everyone savored it, and immediately felt that Li Yi's statement seemed to be more reasonable.
