Chapter Twenty-Three: Flowers
The sunset is shining, and the afterglow is beautiful.
As soon as he returned to the Imperial Capital Military Academy, Wu Lu quietly informed Michelle Chow. In the end, the two of them made an appointment in a mountain forest on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
After seeing Li Yiqing's head, Michelle Chow looked very calm, just whispered thank you to Wu Wulu, and then sat quietly on a big bluestone in a daze. Later, Wu Lu dug a small pit under a nearby tree and buried the head.
"Are you alright?" Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Michelle Chow sat there for a long time without moving, and Wu Lu finally couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"In my hometown, there is a kind of wild flower called purple bellflower, and in summer, you can always see purple bell flowers all over the mountains. When I was a child, I often heard adults say that after a person dies, as long as a purple bell flower is placed on the cemetery, the wandering person can return to his hometown and reunite with his relatives. Michelle Chow did not answer, but said inexplicably and gloomily.
Wu Lu smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you do this again, I'm going to be angry. ”
"Can you do me another favor?"
"Say." Wu Lu responded quickly, as long as she didn't seek death, everything was negotiable.
"Kill me."
Finally guessed correctly, Wu Wulu's face was full of bitterness.
"Ants are still stealing their lives, not to mention that you still have a big revenge to avenge." Wu Wu persuaded him.
Michelle Chow turned her head and looked at Wu Wulu, her eyes were empty, with a hint of sadness and a hint of despair, "Over the years, although my appearance is no different from ordinary people, I have long run out of oil and lamps, and my life is not long, rather than die in endless pain and torture, it is better to die in your hands." ”
Taken aback, Wu Lu stepped forward to check her pulse, and found that her pulse was scattered and exhausted, and it was already difficult to return.
"Good! I will fulfill you. Wu Lu was silent for a long time and sighed lightly. The ghost cut then slowly melted out of his hand.
"You know what? Xiao Yu'er told me that you are very handsome, and now I believe it. At this moment, Michelle Chow's eyes were no longer empty, and her mouth showed a hint of a smile. This kind of smile was very happy, it was the first time that Wu Lu had seen such a smile on her face.
The demon sword roared out like a dazzling silver dragon breaking through the afterglow of the setting sun, vowing to put an end to it all. It was the only time in his life that he swung the knife with great reluctance, and it was also the first time that Wu Lu felt that the demon knife in his hand was so heavy.
Michelle Chow's smile slowly solidified, and then a small red mark appeared on her eyebrows, and blood leaked out, which was shocking.
Wu Lu dropped the ghost cut and stepped forward to catch her body.
"There are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches. Xiao Yu'er is a good girl. You have to cherish. The crisp sound came to my ears at the same time as the sound of the ghost cutting to the ground.
On this day, one of the most beautiful purple bells in the world withered in the arms of Wu Lu.
The dusk on the outskirts of the imperial capital is always so bleak, the whole sky is dyed blood red, and the pieces of sunset change into a dazzling red, reflected on the clear lake, as if to ignite a raging fire and turn into an eternal memory.
Since he was a child, he has lived a very hard life, so he is very good at controlling his emotions, or he never likes to talk about it. He is always accustomed to the sun on his face, and the darkness in his heart. But when he looked at the gradually cold body in his arms, he still couldn't help but be angry.
Soon after, Wu Lu gently placed a purple bell flower in front of a small mound. If it is true that there is reincarnation in the world, as the Buddhists say, then may she be carefree in the next life.
Wu Lu looked at the evening breeze blowing the leaves, and read the name of the military governor of Lin'an City for the first time.
Without it, it's just because it's hard to settle!
After gathering his mood, he returned to the Imperial Military Academy. At this time, the news of Li Yiqing's tragic death in Qianjintai in Beicheng had spread in the imperial capital.
In a short period of time, the school died two top geniuses in a row, and it was as strong as the Imperial Military Academy. Everyone was panicked, and the teachers sighed all day long. The entire Imperial Military Academy was immersed in silence,
In the afternoon, Wu Lu found that many soldiers had suddenly arrived at the school. The once bustling campus has become unusually quiet, and there is a strange atmosphere in the air.
After a while, some students were called out of the classroom for questioning.
"Have you been to Beicheng in the past few days?"
"Nope." Wu Lu replied calmly.
"Capable one?"
"It's not." Wu Lu replied.
Then, the soldier on the opposite side waved his hand and shouted: "Get out, next." ”
Such a simple check? Wu Lu was surprised in his heart. It's fishing.
In fact, this is quite normal. In fact, no one believed that Li Yiqing's death was the work of students at the Imperial Military Academy.
Li Yiqing, as one of the four heroes of the imperial capital, has extraordinary strength. Moreover, Qianjintai has always been a master, and the murderer forcibly killed Li Yiqing without alarming Qianjintai, which is obviously not the strength that his peers can have. People are more willing to believe that it was the enemy of the Li family in the imperial capital.
The so-called check-in is nothing more than the pressure from above to go through the situation. Therefore, the people who came to the Imperial Military Academy to investigate were already thinking about where to eat at night when they were interrogating the students.
Even, even the Li family, the imperial capital, was convinced that it was the enemy's doing. As a family gatekeeper, who doesn't have a few enemies. In fact, after the Li family learned the news of Li Yiqing's tragic death, they immediately sent the family's elite guards to protect the proud son of heaven who was regarded as the Li family's hope for the next hundred years.
Regarding Li Yiqing's death, the principal of the Li family even tried to hide the news for a while. Compared with who killed Li Yiqing, the Li family was even more angry that he died too undignified, which disgraced the entire family. After all, for the Maison Gate Valve, life is small, and face is the most important.
"It's really a mud that can't be supported, and the family's face has been lost by him." Some elders of the Li family complained in public. None of the others objected.
After nearly a week of investigation, the soldiers withdrew. Before leaving, an announcement was also issued: There is no evidence that the murderer is a student of the Imperial Military Academy. After the investigation was completed, the Imperial Military Academy made it mandatory for students not to go out on holidays, and assigned personnel to patrol the school and its periphery day and night.
During this period, Xiao Yuer privately inquired about Michelle Chow's news. Wu Lu couldn't bear Xiao Yu'er to be sad, so he deceived her and said that she couldn't tell her clearly, maybe she was traveling.
Compared with the deaths of Wu Qiming and Li Yiqing, the whole school knows that Michelle Chow's disappearance did not even make a splash. Obviously, the successive accidents have greatly affected the reputation of the Imperial Military Academy, and the big people above have tried their best to minimize some bad things and small things.
After being locked up by the Imperial Military Academy for a whole month, it is finally time to look forward to the day of vacation. It is rare to have a three-day holiday, and Wu Wulu, who has a windfall, has already planned to go to Beicheng Qianjintai again.
Because the auction house of Qianjintai is planning an unprecedented grand auction, it has been spread all over the imperial capital as early as two weeks ago. Wu Lu couldn't hold back for a long time to see such a grand occasion. Maybe a fourth Tomb Key will appear in this auction.
After obtaining the key to the third Martial Ancestor Tomb, Wu Lu believed that this was the destiny of heaven, and the last one would definitely be obtained by him. It was precisely because of Providence that Wu Lu felt that he could not let go of every opportunity to obtain the fourth key, so it was even more necessary to go to the auction of Qianjintai.
Early in the morning, a torrential rain hit the imperial capital.
Soon after the rain stopped, Wu Wu Lu changed his clothes, and when he was about to go out, Xiao Yu'er knocked on the door of Wu Lu's dormitory. Faced with Xiao Yu'er's appointment to go to the market, Wu Lu was stunned, and finally had no opinion.
As long as it is not a very excessive request, Wu Lu is still willing to do it, even if it is a very excessive request, forced by obscenity, Wu Lu often has to do it.
