Three days later, the imperial envoy finally arrived and read to Li Yuan the will of Emperor Yang Guang for marriage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Yi, who was hiding and peeking aside, found that the envoy had been carefully observing Li Yuan's demeanor while reading the will, and Li Yuan, after hearing the will, was satisfied and grateful, and repeatedly expressed to the envoy that he wanted him to convey his satisfaction and gratitude to the emperor for the marriage.

"They are all masters of scheming!" Chen Yi sighed in his heart.

Yang Guang's marriage this time really provoked the "Golden Cicada" and Li Yuan to have estrangement and resentment, so as to achieve the intention of inserting nails into the Li family; and Li Yuan's satisfaction with this marriage to the envoy was to insert a thorn in Yang Guang's heart, making him suspicious of the "Golden Cicada".

However, Chen Yi had already chosen a position, so he let Li Yuan do it, and did not use any more means.

In the next few days, after the lockdown was finally lifted, Li Shimin was arrested by his eldest brother Li Jiancheng to help his father deal with official business. Li Yuanxin came to Honghua to take office, such as today's instability, there are many things, the two brothers and one eldest grandson Wuji, who was dragged by Li Shimin to accompany and tie up, are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground.

And Li Xiuning, who got his wish, accompanied Chen Yi, who had nothing to do, and took Chen Xi, Sun Wukong and Moeller to go hunting everywhere, and lived happily.

On this day, Chen Yi, Li Xiuning and others went out hunting again, and ran to the wilderness far away from the city on a whim, but were attacked by wolves. It's just that this group of people saw a group of wild wolves in their eyes, and killed more than 100 wolves in three or two clicks, and Chen Yi even hunted the leader of the wolf pack with his own hands - a giant wolf with white hair all over his body.

Li Xiuning knew that these rare white animals had always been regarded as auspicious, and guessed that his father had great ambitions, so he encouraged Chen Yi to sacrifice this white wolf to Li Yuan to ask for a favor.

Chen Yi naturally would not object to such a thing, and when he came back, he would come to see Li Yuan with Li Xiuning.

When they came to Li Yuan's study, they saw that Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji were also there, and everyone's faces were a little surprised.

"Daddy, but what's wrong?" Li Xiuning asked when he saw this.

Li Yuan looked at Chen Yi and said, "The virtuous son-in-law came just in time, just now I received an official letter from below, saying a strange thing that happened in the local area, you can also come and take a look." ”

Chen Yi agreed, stepped forward and picked up an official document pushed by Li Yuan from the bookcase, lowered his head and browsed through it with ten lines, and his face showed surprise. It turned out that this official document was sent by the county order of Huachi County, which belongs to Honghua County, reporting that more than 300 local villages had been wiped out overnight, and the dead bodies were all shriveled, as if they had been drained of blood, which was really strange and terrifying. ”

Chen Yi was silent after reading the official document.

Li Shimin asked: "Jin Chanzi, this matter does not seem to be like the methods of people in the world, what are your eyebrows?"

Chen Yi shook his head, rubbed his chin with his fingers and said, "In the cultivation world, whether it is an evil cultivator or a spirit demon, there are evil magic skills that can be used to devour the essence and blood of living beings to boost their own cultivation. However, anyone who does these things strives to be secretive, and there are few people who make such a big fanfare, even the Blood God Sect, which is ranked among the seven major sects and specializes in bloodline techniques, would never dare to harm the worldly people so unscrupulously. For a while, the little brother didn't have a clue. But since I encountered this incident, there is no reason to sit idly by, and I will rush to Huachi County later to see what kind of demons are doing evil. ”

Li Yuan also had this meaning, and when he saw Chen Yi taking the initiative to ask for help, he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, there will be a son-in-law of Lao Xian, but it is better to be more careful." ”

On the same day, Chen Yi said goodbye to Li Xiuning, received a full set of token documents from Li Yuan, took Sun Wukong, Chen Xi and Moeller, and rushed to Huachi County by Ruyi Jinsuo.

After chasing the wind and lightning all the way, the four of them landed in a remote place, and rushed straight to find someone to ask the direction of the Ming County Ya.

When he went to the county yamen to show the token and official documents, the messenger hurriedly went inside, and after a while, a middle-aged man with a white face and a long beard walked out quickly, and saluted in front of Chen Yi and said: "Guo Chang, the official Huachi County, meet the superior." ”

Chen Yi smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite in your county. ”

Guo Chang hurriedly invited Chen Yi and the four of them into the county office, and after sitting down in the back hall to serve tea, he asked with a smile: "You haven't asked for advice on your surname and name, and you have any ministry under Lord Li?"

Chen Yi said with a smile: "In Xia Jin Cicada, although he has taken the position of captain of Zhiguo, he has not served under Master Li. ”

"It turned out to be Jin Gongzi, who has admired his name for a long time, and it is an honor to see his face today. "The news in the officialdom has always spread rapidly, and in recent days, the emperor's marriage has spread all over the ears of Honghua officials, and as the protagonist of this incident, it has attracted everyone's attention. Knowing that the handsome blonde boy in front of him was the son-in-law of the top boss, Guo Chang couldn't help but be in awe.

Chen Yi said: "Your county is polite, I was sent by Lord Li to inspect the incident that happened here. I wonder what's going on now?"

Hearing Chen Yi mention that incident, Guo Chang's face immediately became bitter, and he sighed: "Jin Gongzi didn't know anything, so last night, another village with a population of more than 100 families was killed, and the situation of the deceased was exactly the same as the previous three villages. Although the lower officials have been trying their best to block the news, they only say that these villages have caused a plague. However, many of the officers in the yamen were locals, and the truth of the case had gradually spread out. Now the whole county is panicked, and people are saying that the world will be born with demons, and many people have fled the county with their families. ”

Hearing that another tragedy had occurred, Chen Yi immediately said: "In this case, please ask your county to send someone to lead you to the village where you just died, to see if you can find any clues." ”

Although he didn't have much confidence in this son, Chen Yi was originally sent by Li Yuan to deal with this matter, and Guo Chang didn't dare to delay in the slightest, let alone send his subordinates, and personally accompanied Chen Yi and the four of them to the scene.

The village, about thirty miles west of the county seat, was supposed to be a man and a woman working in the fields and a child running around the village, but now it was an oppressive silence.

When Chen Yi and the others arrived in the village, they randomly chose a bamboo hut and walked in, and first saw a yellow dog and seven or eight chickens dead on the ground in the yard.

Chen Yi walked to the corpse of the yellow dog and squatted down to examine it, and sure enough, he lost all his blood and became a dried corpse, but there was not a trace of scars on his body. After checking the chickens again, it was the same situation.

His face was a little solemn, and he went into the house again, and saw the bodies of a man and a woman and a boy of six or seven years old on the couch. It is also the loss of blood in the whole body without scars.

Chen Xi, who was following him, asked, "Brother Jin, what is this made of, but the blood of the deceased's whole body seems to have been taken out of thin air." ”

Chen Yi said in a deep voice: "It seems that this is indeed the consequence of some kind of evil sect technique, but I have never heard of such a vicious and strange method in the world." ”

Sun Wukong, who was on the other side, asked again: "Master, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Chen Yi said: "No matter what it is, since we have done this series of tragedy, we shouldn't stop there, let's just wait for the rabbit." ”
