246 The rain kept falling
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden shower, and the dense raindrops hit the tent with a rhythmic sound of "popping".
Inside the tent.
"Yanshuang, you...... You tell me, Xiao Yan's death today....... Can it have anything to do with you?" Li Ran said in a sweaty and panting breath.
"Husband...... Husband, for the ....... Why do you have this question....... Huh?" Xiao Yanshuang seemed a little nervous, her face was rosy, and her body trembled a little.
"Because I have found out that Xie Huan is the murderer of Xiao Yan, and the former's pipa bone is broken, it is impossible to operate the internal breath with the ordinary internal strength of the mind in this world, so I thought of you......"
Li Ran's body trembled slightly, he breathed a long sigh of relief, sat up straight, and said: "Yanshuang, if it weren't for the number of strange doors like you, opening up the six meridians of yin and yang in one fell swoop, and using the power of different veins to replace the traditional eight veins of the strange meridians to carry the internal force, Xie Huan, who is already a wasted person, how could he sneak attack and stab Xiao Yan's heart with a sword?"
Xiao Yanshuang pursed her lips, and her eyes were like pearls, as if she was about to burst into tears.
After all, the other party is already a wife who is pregnant with his own flesh and blood, Li Ran looked at her appearance, and couldn't help but voice a lot softer: "Yanshuang, I'm just guessing, you must not think too much, yes, no, no, what I want, just an answer." ”
"Well, I know. ”
Xiao Yanshuang's body softened, plunged into Li Ran's arms, and said faintly: "Husband, if I tell you, this matter ...... It has nothing to do with me, and I don't have any personal contact with Xie Huan, will you believe it?"
Li Ran was silent for a long time and said, "Well, I believe it." ”
He said this from the bottom of his heart.
After all, with his understanding of Xiao Yanshuang, the other party would never lie, and more importantly, Xiao Yanshuang had no motive to do so!
She is the third princess of the royal family who has been unknown for 16 years, and she framed the eldest princess Xiao Lingqiu?
There's no logic at all.
Thinking of this, Li Ran couldn't help but feel a little sorry for his suspicion of his third wife.
At this time, Xiao Yanshuang suddenly raised her little face and said a little nervously: "Husband, I heard...... In front of the Mother Emperor and Elder Qingwei, you made a military order, saying that you would solve Xiao Yan's case and find out the murderer within two days, but is there such a thing?"
"Hmm. Li Ran nodded.
"The concubine naturally believes in her husband's ability, but the past two days are too hasty....... Xiao Yanshuang held his hand: "If you can't find the murderer as scheduled......"
Li Ran interrupted lightly: "My military order has been made very clear, if I can't find the murderer as scheduled, I, Li Ran-"
"Willing to be condemned to death. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yanshuang meaningfully, patted the latter's little face, and gently got up and left.
......
......
Walking out of the camp tent, the rain had stopped at this time, looking at the starry night sky, Li Ran suddenly felt a sense of confusion in his heart, and even .......
I was a little confused.
Thinking that he has been pushing sideways all the way from crossing over to the present, almost all the enemies who stand in front of him, such as Dongying spy Wen Zhirong in his mind, and Jiang Taiyuan's martial arts as strong as the martial saint Jiang Taiyuan, have all become the background of his pretending to be forced, how could he ever have such a powerless feeling?
He confirmed a terrible fact.
This Xiao family meeting in the Holy Beast Garden is not only a game of changing the world laid by Li Ran, but in the unknown darkness, a net of heaven and earth that calculates everything is also quietly opening.
Sadly, he couldn't see the man he was playing against in the dark.
He only hopes that in this shocking game of changing the dynasty, the other party will also not be able to see him clearly.
"At present, it seems that the only thing that is certain is that Xie Huan killed Xiao Yan with the intention of blaming Xiao Lingqiu, and his motives are very understandable, after all, the empress has been using the Xie family from the beginning, and now under Xiao Lingqiu's control, Xie Huan has become a puppet, and the power and wealth of the Xie family are all under the command of the imperial court. ”
"As for the powerful Violet Heavenly Illusion Palm on Xiao Yan's corpse, it can basically be concluded that it is the masterpiece of the second-generation elder Xiao Wuxin, after all, she is the only coroner, and others are not allowed to approach the corpse at all......"
"So here's the problem......."
Li Ran fell into deep thought: "What is Xiao Wuxin's motive? Why did she collude with Xie Huan to marry Xiao Lingqiu? If I remember correctly, isn't this old woman Xiao Lingqiu's person? At that time, the imperial superintendent also helped Xiao Lingqiu set up a bureau and messed with me.......
"Behind these two people, there must be a real big boss manipulating everything!"
"Who could it be?"
"Wait. ”
Li Ran's eyebrows sank, and he suddenly thought of something: "The eldest princess was framed, and there is only one person who benefits! That is ......"
"Clear snow!?"
......
......
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and on the hillside at the entrance of the Holy Beast Garden, Xiao Qingxue, the first female general of Daxuan, rode an exclusive spirit horse, led a column of Red Phoenix Army soldiers, patrolling along the mountain road.
Looking down the mountain, the camps of the Xiao family's phoenix vein and dragon vein, including the empress's tent with the most dense guards, were all in full view.
"Qingxue Gong...... Oh no, General Qingxue, Li Guoshi has come up the mountain. A tall guard, wearing a grimace mask and a completely unsightly face, stepped forward to report.
"Let him get out of the way, General Ben doesn't want to see him. Xiao Qingxue said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding soldiers, including the grimace guard, all trembled and froze in place.
"General Hui Qingxue, the person who came is ...... It is Li Guoshi, the marquis of Zhenguo and the prince of the four princesses, Li Ran. ”
The grimace guard thought the boss had misheard, and had the audacity to repeat it again.
"I know it's this person. Xiao Qingxue's tone became even more angry: "Didn't I hear me, didn't you hear me? Quickly blast him down the mountain, don't interfere with military affairs." ”
"This ......" the grimace guard hesitated, and for a moment, motionless.
"Oh, Shen Yan, General Qingxue told you to go and blast the hateful Li Guoshi down the mountain, why don't you go quickly?"
A clear voice came, and hundreds of Red Phoenix Sergeants looked up, and saw a handsome young man with a white face and a fluttering red coat, pacing down from the night sky, looking like an immortal.
Who is it if it's not Li Guoshi himself?
Xiao Qingxue's beautiful eyes first froze for a moment, then she "hummed" and lowered her face: "Tomorrow's clan meeting is about to start, there are many affairs, Li Guoshi should rest quickly." ”
Li Ran smiled, his footsteps were a little in the void, and he landed steadily on the back of the horse behind Xiao Qingxue, leaned close to her, and said gently: "Qingxue, I have something to ask you." ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Qingxue to speak, waved his hand and said, "Shen Yan, you take your brothers to retreat first, I have important matters to discuss with His Second Highness." ”
"Yes!" the grimacing general bowed his head and trotted away with his own soldiers around him.
"Sister Qingxue, the Ice Nation soldiers I brought are good, right?"
Li Ran said with a smile, while naturally placing his hands on Xiao Qingxue's slender waist.
Xiao Qingxue didn't pick up, and surprisingly didn't move Li Ran's hand, but she still had an ice cube face: "What's the matter with me?"
"Ahem...... Let's not get down to business. Li Ran said.
"Oh?" Xiao Qingxue was stunned for a second, and then said coldly: "If there is nothing to say, then please ask Li Guoshi to go down!"
"I know why my Sister Qingxue is angry. ”
Li Ran approached her ear and said, "You are in this position, you can detect everyone's every move, you must have seen me go to the camp of the third princess, plus you heard some rumors, so you ....... Jealous. ”
"You put-"
Xiao Qingxue's face was flushed, and she was very ashamed, but before she could finish her last word, she was blocked by Li Ran with something.
Approaching the third watch, Fengming Island, where the Holy Beast Garden is located, once again blew a violent storm, and the raindrops hit the ground, making a pleasant sound of "popping".
