Chapter 49 The Border of Eastern Wu
A woman dressed in sackcloth was found in a mass grave on the outskirts of the city.
Suddenly, a decapitated corpse appeared in front of her eyes, she hurriedly rushed over, took out a needle and thread from her arms, put the corpse's body and head together, and sewed it silently.
Tears fell drop by drop, melting into the blood everywhere, Qi Liang, I know that there are still grievances in this matter.
Although I have never met in this life, I will definitely prove your innocence!
"Ahh Di Xue was sweating and was awakened.
Dreaming again, since Di Xue remembered the memories of herself in her previous life when she was Xie Qing, she would have the same dream every few days, dreaming of mass graves full of corpses, dreaming of the headless Qi Liang......
In the previous paragraph, due to the accumulation of cases, she often couldn't sleep completely, so this dream may not have appeared for a long time.
However, in the inn on the way to the border city of Dongwu Kingdom, she slept so soundly, which was too unreasonable.
Di Xue stepped down from the green silk and blue gauze bed, opened the door, the breeze blew a few yellowing leaves into the house, the weather was slightly cold, and it was already late autumn at this time.
Out of the house, she found a higher pavilion and jumped up, the street was dark, and it was already close to the city.
The envoys of the Nanyue Kingdom were intercepted and killed on the outskirts of Xinjiangcheng, and then the envoys were separated, but the strange thing was that the people of the mission did their best to rescue the beautiful prince who had met Di Xue outside the palace gate.
Now the next person is already in the government of the Negative Mansion in the city of Xinjiang.
However, all the rest of the mission were missing, and Di Xue and Chu Ran had to find them at this time.
To put it more bluntly, it is to see people alive and corpses to die.
Suddenly, Di Xue noticed that someone was walking around in the inn, and then thought of the fact that she had slept so soundly, Di Xue was so upset that she hurriedly turned over and jumped off the roof, and then entered the inn through an open window.
At this time, it was dark in the inn, but Di Xue quickly touched the door of Chu Ran's room.
After opening it gently, she found that the room was very quiet, so Di Xue came to the bed with light steps, she just wanted to wake up Chu Ran but found that the quilt was empty.
Suddenly, there was a small sound behind the curtain beside him, and Di Xue dodged and grabbed the person inside.
Chu Ran let out a painful sound, and Di Xue hurriedly whispered: "It's me, there seems to be a thief in the inn now, you follow me, let's join up with the others, avoid it first and then discuss the rest of the matter."
Di Xue said and took Chu Ran out of the house, but there was a fight in the hall on the next floor.
Then the dim moonlight, Di Xue saw that six or seven people in the house were fighting again, and after careful identification, they found that three of them were the owner and the proprietress of the inn and the shopkeeper.
The rest of them were dressed in night suits and looked like killers.
Several people fought equally, but after seeing Di Xue and the others, they rushed over in unison.
Di Xue's heart was broken, and she hurriedly shouted Zhang Ying and the others, and the three of them finally woke up, and hurriedly ran out listening to the noise outside.
Di Xue fought with the two groups, but because the two groups were consumed by each other, they were more or less injured.
So Di Xue's figure wandered in it, and after a few rounds, the two groups of people were either knocked unconscious by Di Xue, or those who committed suicide by poisoning when they saw that the task could not be completed.
Di Xue looked around and said to Chu Ran:
"Here are two groups of people, this inn is a black shop, they gave us drugs during the day, but they didn't want to kill people, but saw that you were dressed and wanted to blackmail, but the other group of people rushed to the point with swords and swords, it seems that they are determined to kill you and me, who sent this group of people?"
"Could it be or Li Yong? It's not the first time he's killed you. Chu Ran thought about it and said.
Di Xue thought for a moment and shook her head:
"My information is in the hands of Your Majesty, Li Yong is already too busy to take care of himself at this time, and it is impossible to chase you and me to such a place and then do it."
"Could it be that someone else wants your life?" Chu Ran said in surprise.
Di Xue nodded, and then returned: "But I don't know what the purpose of this person is, why he wants to kill you, I can only be careful." ”
As the two spoke, they followed Zhang Ying, Han Shu, and Chu Ran's guard Li Jin to tie up the people of the inn.
The other group of people all committed suicide by poisoning Di Xue, looking at the group of dead corpses without any special signs, but there was a faint fragrance on their bodies, which seemed to be the smell of wormwood.
Everyone has it, but they don't know what it means, just when Di Xue was thinking.
Suddenly, a soldier hurried in from outside the inn, ignoring the situation inside the house, and instead asked in a panting voice:
"Are you Lord Di Xuedi of Dali Temple?"
Di Xue nodded to you, and the soldier continued: "Yuan Jing urgently asks your lord to open it." ”
Di Xue took the soldier's letter and opened it to find two pieces of news that shocked her.
The first is that Li Yong felt desperate, and after meeting the emperor, he committed suicide at home, which can be regarded as preserving the lives of the rest of the Li family.
However, without Li Yong's protection, it is unknown how long the Li family can survive in the Eastern Wu Kingdom.
This message is incidental, and the second one is the point.
Princess Chu Yurao of Qingyang disappeared in Beijing, and the emperor originally wanted to restore the princess to her identity according to Di Xue's plan, but found that the princess was not in Jingyang Palace.
Her personal maid is also not there, and the people in Jingyang Palace don't know the inside story, so they naturally don't care about this concubine who is going to move out of the palace soon.
So for a moment, the princess disappeared without a trace.
However, after the emperor's visit, she still knew that the princess disguised herself as a little yellow gate and left the palace, and then used the money on her body to set up a caravan, and took her personal maid to follow the caravan south, and the destination turned out to be Jiangcheng.
The emperor has sent elite soldiers and strong generals to search, but because the princess's identity is sensitive now, she can't search for it.
This matter also fell on Di Xue and Chu Ran, and the emperor's order was to find the princess at all costs.
Di Xue also had two big heads after reading the letter, but the inn here is a must to go to Xinjiang City, maybe the people at the inn know something.
So she turned back to the house, looked at the proprietress tied to the pillar, and motioned to Han Shu to wake up the two.
A basin of cold water went down, and the two came to their senses and looked at several people with frightened faces:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have absolutely no intention of hurting your name for a while, so let's bypass us for the sake of us being first-time offenders."
The proprietress said with emotion, and the acting was also pitiful, if others saw it, they would inevitably think that Di Xue and the others were too unkind.
However, Di Xue didn't eat this set, and instead said:
"We are not heroes in the green forest, but people from the government, and we are here on business, and the affairs of your store are enough for the two of you to cut off your heads, but if you can cooperate with us in investigating the case, it is not that you two cannot consider taking it lightly."
In fact, Di Xue said this partly to scare them, because Di Xue checked the inn and knew that the couple did not hurt people's lives with the clerk, otherwise it would not be a drug, but a poison.
So when the two of them nodded like chickens pecking rice, Di Xue drew the portrait of Princess Qingyang, and then asked:
"You two have seen a caravan pass by here recently, is there such a girl in the caravan?"
The proprietress looked at the portrait with some hesitation, and suddenly she said:
"I've seen it, but it's not a little lady, it's a thin little boy!"
