Murong Longcheng's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Do you suspect who did it?"

The groom shook his head again and again and said, "The villain doesn't know." But other than that, the villain couldn't think of any other way to be able to chase a group of light masters in the mountains. ”

Murong Longcheng nodded and said, "I know, you can go and rest by yourself." ”

After the horseman stayed away, Murong Longcheng asked Wang Shiping, "Is this person reliable?"

Wang Shiping said with certainty: "There is no problem. My father once saved the lives of his whole family, and now his family depends on my palace to survive. ”

Murong Longcheng turned his head to look at Duan Yingsi and asked, "Brother Xian, what do you think?"

Duan Yingsi frowned and said: "What this person said must be guarded against, but most of the people on this trip are their own people who know the roots, if someone really makes a move, I am afraid it is one of the few people in King Zheng's mansion." ”

"What the virtuous brother said is extremely true!"

When the horseman saw Duan Yingsi's father and son present, he hesitated and didn't dare to speak, just because he was suspicious of them. But Murong Longcheng knew very well that Duan Yingsi, whether it was to save his righteous brother or to seize the throne, it was impossible for him to sabotage his plan at this time, and it was even more impossible for the Wang family and the generals to do so. Therefore, the only suspicion is the people of King Zheng's Mansion.

Empress Dowager Zhou and Chai Zhongxun, the two mothers and sons, have no room to turn back since they stepped out of King Zheng's mansion, once they are arrested, they are either secretly executed or more tightly imprisoned, so their mother and son will not do such a thing if they have a trace of sanity.

Then, only the old eunuch Huang Shaowen and the maid Jing'er were left. Huang Shaowen was the internal response given to him by the old ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty, but Jing'er was brought on a temporary basis. It stands to reason that Jing'er's suspicion is greater than Huang Shaowen's, but Huang Shaowen cannot be completely ruled out.

If it is a normal person, at this time, it is inevitable to order the rest of the team to secretly keep an eye on these two people, find out the person who made the secret hand, and then kill them. But for Murong Longcheng, as long as the hidden danger can be solved a moment earlier, what is the value of one more life?

He stretched out his hand and pointed to Huang Shaowen and Jing'er, who were sleeping, and said in a low voice: "It's those two." ”

Duan Yingsi was puzzled: "Which of the two?"

Murong Longcheng shook his head and said, "Both of them are." ”

Duan Yingsi was about to ask again, but before the words came out, he already understood what Murong Longcheng meant: Cut through the chaos with a quick knife, and it is better to kill the mistake than let it go!

He opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Empress Dowager Zhou and Zhongxun are afraid that there will be some mustards. ”

Murong Longcheng shook his head again and said, "The situation is urgent, I can't manage this much, I will order people to do it smartly." ”

Duan Yingsi was silent for a long time, sighed lightly, and turned around and walked away with Ding Yu.

Before dawn the next day, Empress Dowager Zhou had woken up on her own, after all, she was old, and it was difficult to sleep well no matter how tired she was, let alone cold and wet in the mountains, and mosquito bites.

The first thing she saw when she woke up was Chai Zhongxun beside her, although the light was dim and she couldn't see clearly, but when she heard his slight snoring, she felt a lot more relieved. Then she reached out and pushed Jing'er next to her, wanting her to ask Murong when they were leaving.

Jing'er, who usually sleeps very lightly, has no reaction today. Empress Dowager Zhou was a little envious in her heart: young people can sleep. She leaned into Jing'er's ear and screamed softly, but she still didn't move. Empress Dowager Zhou felt that something was wrong, and reached out to touch Jing'er's face, only to feel that the tentacles were cold and hard, like a corpse - no, it was a corpse at all! She actually slept next to a corpse for half the night!

The screams of the Empress Dowager Zhou woke up everyone in the camp, and Deng Beiye, who was in charge of the night, rushed over, protected the Empress Dowager Zhou, and said: "Don't be alarmed, the Queen Mother will be here." But there's an enemy coming?"

Empress Dowager Zhou grabbed Deng Beiye's sleeve robe with one hand and said in a trembling voice: "Quiet...... Jing'er, Dead ...... Dead!"

At this time, Chai Zhongxun also came to his senses, and when he heard it, his face changed greatly, and he asked urgently: "Queen Mother, who did you just say died?"

Before Empress Dowager Zhou could answer, he couldn't help but bypass Deng Beiye and reach for Jing'er on the ground.

Deng Beiye grabbed him, "Don't be impulsive, be careful of your body." ”

The rest of the people in the camp had also rushed over one after another, and Wang San of the horsemen cautiously approached Jing'er's corpse, and saw that her face was swollen, her lips were purple and black, and her neck was especially swollen, and he lifted her collar a little, only to see a blue-black lump at the base of her neck, and two small holes the size of rice grains at the top.

Wang San stood up and said, "It looks like he was bitten by a highly venomous spider in his sleep." ”

"Poisonous spider!" Chai Zhongxun was startled, and quickly retracted his steps when he stepped out, not daring to touch Jing'er again, for fear that the poisonous spider was still on her.

Wang Shiping stepped forward angrily, slapped Wang Sanfan to the ground, and scolded: "In vain, you boast of 'every grass and tree in the mountains and forests, you know everything in your chest', but you chose this place infested with poisonous insects to spend the night! If you hurt a hair of the king and the queen mother, you will not be able to cut off ten heads!"

Mafu Wang San did not dare to reply, only knelt on the ground and kowtowed to confess.

Empress Dowager Zhou just wanted to say something, but found that something was wrong: at this time, everyone came over, only the eunuch Huang Shaowen, who was closest to their mother and son, had not yet appeared. She looked suspiciously at the place where Huang Shaowen slept last night, but saw that Huang Shaowen was still lying motionless on the ground.

She trembled her hands and pointed to Huang Shaowen not far away, and everyone followed her fingers. Wang Shiping kicked Wang San and shouted, "Don't go and see it yet!"

Wang San hurriedly got up and went over to check, looked up in the middle of the night and said, "Like Jing'er, I was bitten by a poisonous spider." ”

Wang Shiping was furious, rushed over and punched and kicked again, but was persuaded by the Empress Dowager Zhou after a few blows: "General Wang, don't be too harsh on your family, we have been safe and sound these days, and thanks to him." As for Jing'er and Shaowen...... Alas, there are unforeseen circumstances, and your family has done your best. ”

Wang Shiping bowed down and agreed, turned his head to Wang San and shouted, "I haven't thanked the Queen Mother yet!"

Wang San kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Zhou and said, "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's tolerance, the villain dares not to die!"

Empress Dowager Zhou and Chai Zhongxun were frightened by this, and they didn't want to stay here anymore, just when the sky was faint, it was enough to hurry, so everyone hastily packed up and continued to walk towards the southwest.

This time, the sound of the hoofs of the pursuers could no longer be heard in the sand, and everyone walked a few miles of mountain roads in one go, and the sound of gurgling water was faintly heard in front of them. Everyone was in good spirits and hurried to the sound of speed. After walking for about half a mile, after breaking through a thick bush, a river like a jade belt stretched in front of me.

Murong Longcheng and the others were overjoyed, although they were not sure whether the pursuers behind them were tracked by hounds or the moles left marks, but now that the moles had been removed, and if they swam in this river for a while, even if the people behind them borrowed the Howling Dogs, it would be difficult to catch up with them!

Not only that, Wang San said with a happy face: "This river is called Luoyang River, the river water goes all the way to the south, and finally joins the Yangtze River, we only need to make a raft, we can easily go south, arrive at the official ferry, and then change to a big boat, Shuojiang River, and arrive at the border of Dali in less than a month."
