Chapter 122: The Hidden Ghost

The next day, Yun Shu came to knock on his door early in the morning, "Brother Xiaoyan, did you also enter the house yesterday?"

"Well, what's going on? Are you a thief?"

"I put a military book next to my pillow last night, but when I woke up the next day, I saw that the book had been thrown on the table."

Ding Yan knew it, but pretended not to know, "Then what did you lose something?"

"I didn't lose anything. Yun Shu was also puzzled.

"It may be that you are misremembering, or not necessarily"

"I have a good memory, and it's been a habit for years"

"That's strange, you, a person who practices martial arts, were stolen from your home, and you didn't wake up at all."

Hearing Ding Yan throw out such a sentence leisurely, Yun Shu broke out in a cold sweat, "This thief's methods are so clever, what does he want to do?"

Ding Yan's eyes moved slightly, "Is someone here to steal information?" I'm afraid it's in the wrong place!"

Yun Shu's heart chuckled when he got the prompt, "Let's go, go see the eldest uncle." “

The two asked to see Yun Yu, and Yun Shu hurriedly asked, "Uncle, where are the troop documents arranged by you and General Ziche?" “

"What are you doing in a panic?"

Ding Yan said, "General Yun, yesterday there were thieves who visited the General's Mansion at night, and General Xiaoyun suspected that he was a secret agent over there. “

Hearing Ding Yan say this, Yun Yu had to pay attention to it, and when he went to the study, he saw that all kinds of documents were neatly coded, and they did not look like they had been turned over. Yun Wei is indeed cautious, and carefully reviewed the recent military defense rations, offensive and defensive structures and other documents.

Then his eyebrows tightened, he took a heavy breath of cold air and said, sure enough, there is a thief. He had always had the habit of using air-dried orchids as a skewer and making marks in his scrolls. At the moment, the orchid in the defense here has obviously shifted his position.

"General Yun, is that secret edict still safe?"

Yun Yu paused for a moment and smiled, "I have already stored it in a top-secret place, if General Ding plays with it, I will send it to you later!"

I casually asked, and now that I have put it away, I should not move around. “

"Yes, extremely. “

Next, they asked Zichezhong and a few servants, but Zichezhong was unaware, but one of the servants next to him found that the important document had been turned over.

Yun Wei immediately decided to conduct a comprehensive search of the General's Mansion and several important military aircraft points.

The search uncovered three bodies, all of which were hidden in a non-receptive miscellaneous house, and were killed for no more than three days.

Due to the inevitable casualties of the emperor's siege, the disappearance of the three people at that time also aroused enough vigilance.

Ding Yan asked the soldiers who were friends with these three people, the time of death was indeed very controversial, judging from the corpses, it was three days, but it seemed that they only had one day or two in their mouths.

That is, after the time of death, there were still people who saw them.

Ding Yan can already be sure.

Tu Dan Lie had already infiltrated Wancheng, and even infiltrated the General's Mansion.

Who is he now, and what is he going to do?

Thinking of the horror, his cold hair stood on end.

He didn't make a statement, just repeatedly checked the scene and the body, hoping to find some clues, but he didn't have a clue for a long time.

Yun Shu, who had also been checking outside for a long time, ran in and said, "This thief skin is really powerful, I don't know where to hide, I can't find it after searching half the city." Seeing that Ding Yan was still examining the corpse, "Brother Xiaoyan, are you still doing this?"

"All three died with short sharp weapons, the wounds were all on the chest, and there was no sign of moving the body, as if they had deliberately committed suicide at the place of death. “

Yun Shu rubbed the mud on his feet, "Yes, the mud marks on the shoes of these three people and the shoe prints passing by can be matched, but there is no shoe print of the murderer, Brother Xiaoyan, do you say that this thief skin and the murderer are the same person? What is the purpose of him killing these three people?"

Ding Yan smiled slightly, "I'm afraid it's not one person, the murderer's shoe prints have long been covered by the shoe prints of the officers and soldiers who were searched, do you see that the identities of these three people are city guards and government soldiers in order, can you think of anything?"

Yun Shu's eyes jumped, "This murderer deliberately infiltrated and is still hiding in the mansion?!" he picked the hilt of the sword in his hand, "I'll search him out again." “

"I can't find it. Ding Yan also gave up getting up and said, "Brother Yun, he can kill three people silently in the martial law Wancheng, naturally he has his special skills, and then he will be shocked by the search with great fanfare, so there is no need to make a noise, secretly strengthen the sentry inspection, take precautions, and find out his purpose." “

Yun Shu lamented, "That's it, what to do with these three corpses?"

Ding Yan frowned, "Let's leave it for one more day, I still want to see if they will change next." “

Yun Shu scratched his scalp, Ding Yan is really weird, of course dead people will change, become stinky and rotten.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "General Qi and Qiu Gongzi have returned to the city and are resting in the General's Mansion." “

Qi Xu!!

Ding Yan was overjoyed, and strode into the general's mansion, leaving Yun Shu far away.

When he entered the Ming Hall, he saw Qi Xu at a glance, he looked haggard and pale, and was slowly drinking a cup of chicken soup in his seat.

"Ziqian!" he exclaimed excitedly

Qi Xu raised his head and smiled gently, "Xiaoyan, it turns out that you are also in Wancheng." “

Ding Yan was afraid that Qi Xu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained, "I arrived yesterday, and the Emperor Lu Fang attacked Wancheng. I was about to clean up the situation and go to you, but it's great that you didn't have an accident, I didn't expect to see you so soon, and I thought I had to kill Jingpu Pass and go to Kyoto to get you out!"

Qi Xu smiled slightly, his eyes dimmed, "My life was exchanged for General Yunlu." “

Ding Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the atmosphere in Yunfu was depressing, and Yun Yan's face was sad and his eyes were full of tears.

Someone behind him cleared his throat, and Qiu Liyue's voice sounded, "General Yunlu's relatives don't know about this yet." “

What happened to Yun Lu?

Ding Yan turned his head, and then he saw the autumn moon, the spirit witch saintess, and the Taoist watchman all present.

He saw that Qi Xu was so excited that there was no one in his eyes.

Qiu Liyue's cynical appearance was much more restrained, and she pushed Yan and said in the direction of Yun Xiao.

Ding Yan will intend to give a deep salute to Yun Yu, "General Yun, the festival mourns and changes, and I will definitely avenge General Yunlu's revenge." “

Yun Yu said calmly in a hoarse voice, "I will take revenge myself." “

At this time, Yun Shu arrived, and was stunned by the atmosphere in this Ming Hall, that is, when he heard the news of Yun Lu's death, he was emotionally excited, and asked repeatedly, "How did my uncle die, how did he die, who killed him?"

"I'll tell you!" Qi Xu put the warm chicken soup cup aside, and his voice was low, General Yun took the secret edict out of the city for the reason you must have known, that day I was trapped in Kyoto, has been chased by the officers and soldiers of the Dafu military prison, and fought and fled, hiding in Tibet, after a day I met the powerful female guard, was forced into a dead corner and difficult to get out, she was very playful at the time, and did not immediately defeat me, just like a cat scratching a mouse let me hide, you also have many people who have fought with her to know her skills, I am tired and can not escape from her palm. “

That female guard captain is naturally the left wing! Kyoto is a master like a cloud, even if she is a leader in the ability, the left wing is considered to be a leader, and Yan has five flavors in her heart.

"In that critical situation, fortunately, General Yun Lu brought a team of men and horses to intercept the female guard, and pretended to pass the king's order to let her retreat, and the female guard commander pretended to retreat, but she was still secretly pursuing, and General Yunlu covered all the way, until later Fei Ling took a large group of men and horses, and couldn't help but say that he was surrounded and killed with arrows, and General Yunlu escorted me to Changle Street and was shot by random arrows and died, but Qi Xu survived by hiding in the Linglong Seven Heart Tower. “

Yun Shu's eyes were red and he said hatefully, "Where did he dare to do this to his uncle." “

Yun Wei said with a sad face, "The identity of the emperor's relatives has long been useless, we were just living in wishful thinking before. “

"No, during that time, uncle, didn't you say that we hadn't been exposed, but that we were acting under orders and still had a chance to defend......"

Yun Wei was even more shocked and said with an ugly face, "Shu'er, it's useless to talk more, he is no longer him, we are just usable chess pieces to him, since we are chess pieces, we must have the means to control, we are stupid to be blinded by not discerning current affairs." “

There was a moment of silence

Cloud Gate loyalty, trust each other for generations!

In the march of stealing the country, there is no impassionedness, only a bloody tragedy.

There is nowhere to find the homeland, who weeps with the heart, everyone has their own feelings and sorrows, and they share sorrow and silence.

Qiu Liyue added, "Xingyin Yuan was originally the place where Gongzi Ling Ye and General Qi had a secret connection, and there was a secret passage in it that led to the Linglong Seven Heart Tower, which was banned because of its ferocity, and no one dared to enter it lightly. In fact, there is a secret passage that can lead to the outside of the city, which is the escape route designed by Gongzi Ling Ye at that time to break the net with the national teacher, and it must not be used unless it is a last resort, it is extremely secret, so even General Qi does not know. “

Ding Yan remembered that he had explored the path under the Linglong Seven Heart Pagoda and found three secret passages, why couldn't he think of what Qiu Liyue could think of?

Qi Xu had a bitter smile on his lips, "I just think that Xingyin Garden is managed by Gongzi Ling Ye with great painstaking efforts, or there may be a glimmer of life." “

"Qiu still has some means to use in Kyoto, so he took a risk, and sure enough, the bet was right, and the young general hid in the secret passage, but he was seriously injured, and it was a great luck to survive. “

Qi Xu slowly took a sip of the chicken soup, and said slowly, "Yes! I always feel that I have died a few times recently, and my body doesn't even look like my own anymore. “

Qi Xu has survived many times, and I am afraid that his life cannot be regarded with common sense.

Qiu Liyue's expression changed slightly, but she covered her mouth with a fan and said, "Nine deaths and one life, such a great life should be cherished even more." “

The crowd sighed for a while, and then said some words to comfort Yun Shu, but the pain caused by death could not be ironed in words.

In extraordinary times, funerals cannot be used to express sorrow, but can only turn sorrow into a force that resonates with the world.

Yun Wei endured his grief and looked at Ding Yan and said, "It's good that Major General Qi is back, stabilize the morale of the army, and we will have fewer scruples when we capture Jingpu Pass." “

Is Yun Xiao in a hurry to take revenge?

Ding Yan touched his chin, turned his head and said to the Spirit Witch Holy Maiden, "Holy Maiden, have you found anything?"

The Spirit Witch Saintess shook her head calmly, "It's not time yet! Are you because Qi Xu came back safely and have no scruples, the spy report is not important." “

"Espionage is important, of course, but time is more important. The fact that Autumn Prince was able to infiltrate Kyoto shows that the situation has changed greatly.

Ding Yan looked a little impatient, "I just need to know if there is a hidden monster in Jingpu Pass now." “

The Spirit Witch Saintess was obviously a little interested in these monsters, "I did hear Daoist Ran talk about this kind of thing, but unfortunately I didn't see it with my own eyes. It's better to wait for my flying spy to return, so that I can see what kind of powerful thing it is, no better than the spirit Gu I raised. “

Ding Yan heard that she seemed to have something in her words, and his mind moved, "Does the Holy Maiden think it is possible for Mo Que to be controlled by the Spirit Gu?"

"Things are restrained, as long as the ink is still alive, there will naturally be something to restrain it, as for how to use the Gu and how to subdue, it depends on the skill of the controller, if you can catch them, I would be interested in giving them a try. "The Spirit Witch Saintess was very excited when she heard that there was a strange thing that could be tested.

Qiu Liyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Little brother, why am I a little worried that you are self-defeating?"

"To deal with such an opponent, if you don't take tricks, do you still fight hard?" Ding Yan's face was a little heavy.

Qiu Liyue nodded her forehead with a fan bone, and laughed embarrassedly, "That's right." “

Ding Yan glanced at him and said, "Does Young Master Qiu have other secret passages, such as those leading to the palace?"

Qiu Liyue raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What are you talking about, how can this ......"

Suddenly, there was pain in his forearm, but it was Ding Yan who pinched him fiercely, and gave him a look.

Qiu Liyue was so alert, and hurriedly coughed lightly, "This...... What do you want to say?"

Ding Yan said casually, "Can't you guess this, I have a plan to cut off the foreign aid of Emperor Lu before attacking Jingpu Pass, I know that Qiu Gongzi has some secrets that are inconvenient to say in public, just tell me quietly in a while." “

Qiu Liyue's eyes were fixed, I want to know what the hell are you doing.

The Spirit Witch Saintess observed her words and smiled, "Do you need my cooperation for this plan?"

Ding Yan stroked his palms and said, "I didn't expect the saint to have the same heart as me, and you are the protagonist of my plan." “

Qi Xu frowned, "Xiao Yan, what is the plan to do so mysteriously." “

Ding Yan said with a smile on his face, "Ziqian, the victory of the surprise soldier should be made by secret, you won't forget it, don't ask, you can recuperate from your injuries during this time, and let me take command of this operation for the time being." “

Qi Xu smiled lightly, helpless and a little conniving, "Where can I control you, take care of it yourself!"

Ding Yan heard his helpless tone, Qi Xu thought that he couldn't control him anymore, so let's bring some resentment!

The catastrophe of life and death will always make people understand.

He was a little depressed in his heart, but he couldn't think of what to say, so he turned his gaze to Yun Shu and said, "Brother Yun, please take the young general to rest, and wait for the three of us to come up with a plan, and then notify you of the action." “
