393. Who will be the unlucky ghost?(1/2)
凤鸣城,无双门包下的客栈之中.
Bai Liqing left in a hurry. Bai Yi looked at Bai Liqing's back and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Retracting her gaze, looking at the mess everywhere in the room, Bai Yi didn't care, but when her eyes fell on the pieces of paper on the ground, her fists suddenly clenched, and the words Baili Qing cursed her not long ago echoed in her mind. Baili Qing wished that she would never get her lover...
A trace of pain flashed in Bai Yi's eyes, and Mu Lin's unparalleled face appeared in his mind, and the sarcastic words Mu Lin said to her yesterday. His expression was slightly dim. He walked over, closed the door, and then came back, squatted on the ground, and slowly picked up the pieces of paper. Even if Mu Lin would not be with her, the scene in this painting was the most beautiful and unforgettable thing she had ever seen in her life. She would not tolerate others trampling on it.
Bai Yuan suddenly pushed open the door, frowned and looked at Bai Yi squatting on the ground, glanced at the messy room again, and snorted coldly and said, "Bai Liqing is really promising. I deliberately tossed your room. What's the benefit to her? Don't clean up Yi'er, grandfather asked someone to arrange a new room for you, I don't want this room anymore!"
Bai Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Grandfather, it's okay. I like this room very much. I'll organize it myself."
"Where is Baili Qing? Why did their people suddenly leave?" Bai Yuan looked at Bai Yi and asked. He was elsewhere before, but he didn't know why Baili Qing suddenly left and took away everyone who was searching everywhere. He felt that something must be strange.
When the officers and soldiers were about to search the inn, Bai Yuan stopped him from searching, and he thought that someone would definitely come in the future, and maybe Bai Liqing would come in person. At that time, with Bai Liqing's personality, if he didn't do anything in the inn, he would definitely not give up, and he would even slander Wushuang's collusion with the thief. But Bai Yuan was open and honest about the thief. If Bai Liqing insisted on making a big deal, Wushuang's sect would not be affected, and Bai Liqing would become a clown in the eyes of everyone.
Therefore, Mu Yan's previous judgment was not wrong. Bai Yuan was not really stupid. He actually had a shrewd side. For the future of Bai Yi and Wushuang, he now thinks twice before doing things. From a rational point of view, he is already above Baili Qing.
Bai Yi heard Bai Yuan’s question and said calmly: “Someone came to report that a general named Liu led his troops to find the traitor.”
Bai Yuan looked slightly surprised: "Oh? Where is the thief?"
“七杀城驿馆.”白奕说.
Bai Yuan was stunned. After reacting, he laughed: "No matter whether this is true or someone is framed, I want to see how Baili Qing is proud of her next!"
"What my grandfather said is that someone framed me?" Bai Yi looked at Bai Yuan and asked.
Bai Yuan asked back: "Yi'er thinks that what happened at the gate of Fengming City this morning was really just the actions of the descendants of the Wen family?"
Bai Yi picked up all the paper pieces on the ground, and there was a box on the table. She put all the jewelry inside and put the paper pieces in the box. Regardless of whether Bai Yuan would think her behavior was a bit weird, she answered Bai Yuan's question with a faint expression: "I don't think it's. If the Wen family really had descendants, and they were carrying deep revenge on the sea of blood, what they should do was to hide themselves and wait for the opportunity to assassinate the emperor's grandmother and avenge the entire Wen family, rather than suddenly exposing them to everyone in this way. I also saw the blood letter and manifesto. It did seem real, but the descendants of the Wen family were afraid that they would not be able to do such a bold behavior."
"Who thinks Yi'er can do it?" Bai Yuan looked at Bai Yi and asked.
Bai Yi lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Now in Fengming City, the most courageous outsiders."
Bai Yi did not say it directly, but the "boldest outsiders" she mentioned were people from Divine Soldier City. Before Ye Minghua and Ming Yufeng arrived, there were three external forces in Fengming City, Divine Soldier City, Qisha City and Wushuang Gate.
First of all, only the Divine Soldier City has nothing to do with the next selection of the Royal Girls. In fact, Qisha City and Wushuang Gate have to please Qing Yu. We must not offend Qing Yu at this time. Therefore, the people in Divine Soldier City are outsiders and do not need to worry too much.
Bai Yuan smiled again: "Yi'er and I thought about going together, but this is just our guess. Maybe others can guess it, but no one will have evidence. Now the thief is discovered in the inn in Qisha City, and there will be a good show next."
Bai Yuan finished speaking and went out, and soon ordered his disciples to secretly inquire about the news from the Qisha City Inn.
At this time, the Qisha City Inn was surrounded by officers and soldiers of Qingluan Kingdom, and no one was allowed to enter and exit. Tuoba Yan, who followed General Liu to the inn, could have left, but he chose to stay by himself, saying that he wanted to see how Emperor Qing dealt with the people who colluded with the thief.
Half an hour ago, the female general surnamed Liu brought the officers and soldiers to search the Qisha City Inn according to Tuoba Yan's request and Baili Qing's instructions. It was originally just a routine matter to go through the motions, because Baili Qing's real purpose was to search the Shenbing City Inn. At this time, the Shenbing City Inn was surrounded and no entry was allowed. After searching the Qisha City Inn, the Shenbing City people had no reason to stop the search.
Because Tuoba Yan was watching from the side, General Liu thought that Tuoba Yan could not think that she was perfunctory, because how she searched the inn in Qisha City now, she could only search the inn in Shenbing City next.
So General Liu ordered people to carefully search every room in the Qisha City Inn, and could not be spared anywhere. Even Lu Xiao, who was recuperating in bed, was lifted up with a quilt. Looking at the bottom of the bed and the cabinet, Lu Xiao did not stop him. However, when searching Situ Yu's room, Situ Yu said that anyone would break the things in his room and mess up, and he would not finish with anyone, so the searchers were much more careful.
There are many empty rooms in the Qisha City Inn, and the main courtyard is also empty because it is the residence prepared for Baili Xun and Baili Qing, but they did not live there.
General Liu personally led his men and, accompanied by Tuoba Yan, went to search the main courtyard of the inn.
From the outside, it seems that there has been no one living for a long time, and there is nothing unusual in the room. The general surnamed Liu was about to leave with his people, when Tuoba Yan asked: "This place should be the room of the Lord Baili City, right? Will there be a secret room?"
The general surnamed Liu frowned and said, "Young Master Yan, there is no secret room in the room."
Before the general surnamed Liu finished speaking, a soldier encountered somewhere in the cabinet. The next moment, the wall against the cabinet door opened a black-blade door...
"General, there is a secret room here!" After the soldier finished speaking, General Liu's expression changed and he walked over quickly. The faint smell of blood from inside made her look dark.
Before General Liu decided whether he was going to go in, a silver sword flashing with cold light flew out of the secret room and shot towards General Liu's face!
General Liu hurriedly dodged and said loudly: "Catch the thief!"
People from all over the inn were coming, and an old man wearing a mask rushed out of the secret room. With just one palm, General Liu was beaten to vomit blood and retreated continuously!
The person behind the old man was Wen Cong. Wen Cong had a black cloth covered his face and his steps were floating. He was supported by two men in black and rushed out, one on the left and one on the right.
Tuoba Yan blinked and hid away silently.
One of the men in black who were supporting Wen Cong, and when he rushed out, he stepped on Tuoba Yan's foot. Tuoba Yan jumped aside in an exaggerated manner, as if these things had nothing to do with him and he didn't want to be affected. He had rolled his eyes several times because the person who deliberately stepped on him had no one except his mother. The old man who was leading the way in front was Tuoba Yan's second master, Shangguan Min.
How could the officers and soldiers of Qingluan Kingdom stop Shangguan Min? So soon, before the officers and soldiers gathered, General Liu could only watch the four people leave at an extremely fast speed and disappear from their sight!
“追!”刘将军高声说.
Many officers and soldiers chased in the direction where the four people left, but they thought it was impossible to catch up with such a master.
The general surnamed Liu wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth and took a deep breath. The swelling blood in his body calmed down a little, because the old man was too strong just now, and she felt like that the man could pinch her to death with his fingers.
The general surnamed Liu brought four people into the secret room.
Tuoba Yan followed in with a curious look on his face, but no one cared about what he was doing at this time.
The secret room was dark. General Liu's subordinates lit the lamp and saw a blood-stained dress thrown on the ground. The blood on the clothes had dried up. General Liu suddenly stopped and the two subordinates lit the ground with the lamps. General Liu's expression condensed.
The space inside the secret room is quite small, with beds, tables, chairs, and cabinets. It is obvious that no one has lived in this secret room for a long time, and someone has only recently come in, so there is still dust on the table that has not been completely wiped clean, and there is also a layer of dust on the ground.
But the dust on the ground looks very strange now. In addition to the traces of messy footprints, there are two very obvious shapes. The shape looks like two pieces of cloth once laid on it, so the dust was stained away. The size of the two pieces of cloth is almost exactly the same as the two banners hanging on the gate tower of Fengming City today!
There were even a little blood around one of them, and there were traces of ink around the other. This has shown that the blood letter and manifesto were written by someone in this place!
"General, there is something in it!" A subordinate opened the cabinet. General Liu walked over and saw three bows inside, and there were many arrows. General Liu picked up one of the arrows and clenched them tightly, because this arrow was exactly the same as the arrow that attacked Qing Yu at that time!
In addition, there were still warm tea on the table, and there were four pairs of used dishes and chopsticks. All the evidence shows that the four people were the thieves Qingyu wanted to capture, and they had been living in this secret room for more than a day. Even the blood letters and manifesto were written in it, and someone even brought them food and water!
"You are here and no one is allowed to move the things inside again!" General Liu held the arrow and gave a cold command, "I will enter the palace immediately to report to the emperor!"
“是!”四个属下恭敬地回答.
After saying that, General Liu rushed out with the arrow, and did not even notice that Tuoba Yan was still on the side.
Tuoba Yan touched his chin and said a little embarrassedly: "I was just asking for justice, but I didn't expect that this traitor was really in the Qisha City Inn. I guess we don't need to search the inn in our Shenbing City. If we don't bother with the adults to do the job, I will say goodbye."
The four people looked at each other, and one of them bowed and said, "Young Master Yan walked slowly." At least Tuoba Yan's attitude and tone made them feel very comfortable. In their identities, they just need to follow the instructions and do not have to think too much.
Tuoba Yan, who said he wanted to leave, left the secret room, left the main courtyard, and when he walked out, he met Situ Yu.
"Senior Situ." Tuoba Yan bowed to Situ Yu, looking very polite.
司徒宇微微点头:“言少主.”
"I'm a little thirsty, I wonder if I can go to Senior Situ to ask for a cup of tea?" Tuoba Yan asked with a smile.
Situ Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little surprised, but he nodded slightly and said, "Of course."
So Tuoba Yan followed Situ Yu to his yard. Situ Yu's disciples brought tea. After Tuoba Yan drank a cup, he thanked Situ Yu, but had no intention of leaving.
"What's wrong there?" Situ Yu asked Tuoba Yan. He was going to go to the main courtyard to see the situation.
"General Liu found a thief in the secret room of the main courtyard, but the thief had a strong martial arts skills and had already escaped." Tuoba Yan said.
Situ Yu frowned, obviously thinking that this matter was unlikely, but he didn't say anything to Tuoba Yan, and then heard Tuoba Yan say: "Last time, the master took Senior Situ's medicine box, and I hope Senior Situ won't take it to heart."
Situ Yu snorted coldly, and his eyes changed when he looked at Tuoba Yan: "Boy, my medicine box was not stolen by Shangguan Old Thief himself. He also brought a helper. It should be you?"
Tuoba Yan smiled: "The trick of eagle made Senior Situ laugh."
Situ Yu slapped the table: "What's wrong with you kid? You actually learned to be a thief with that old thief?"
"What do Senior Situ thinks you are good at learning?" Tuoba Yan smiled slightly, "Do you have medical skills? I can do it."
“你懂医术?”司徒宇愣了一下.
"That's right." Tuoba Yan nodded, "If Senior Situ doesn't believe me, you can test me."
Situ Yu looked at Tuoba Yan inexplicably: "Boy, what are you going to do when you come here?" Situ Yu realized that Tuoba Yan was delaying time and was looking for trouble for nothing, but he just didn't want to leave.
Tuoba Yan said with a bright smile: "It's been discovered, but it's nothing. It's not that you found a thief in the inn in Qisha City. I'm curious about how Qingdi will deal with you next, especially Young Master Baili. I've always heard that Young Master Baili is Qingdi's favorite granddaughter. I wonder if Qingdi doesn't even care about such a thing."
"It's not that your Divine Soldier City is making trouble in this matter, right?" Situ Yu looked at Tuoba Yan's eyes slightly narrowed.
"Senior Situ, you can eat food randomly, and you can't talk randomly. These things have nothing to do with our Divine Soldier City. We had some unhappiness with the Qing Emperor before, but Senior Situ also knew that the previous matter about the Divine Soldier City was that Qing Emperor suffered a great loss. We are the winners. It is certain that Qing Emperor will cause trouble for us. We don't have to be in trouble with Qing Emperor." Tuoba Yan said calmly.
Situ Yu's eyes changed a little when he looked at Tuoba Yan, because he really felt that the young man was too smart, and he looked at Tuoba Yan and said, "What about the hatred between Shangguan Min and Qing Yu?"
"Senior Situ even knows this. It seems that he is indeed a good friend of the Master Master." Tuoba Yan said with a smile, "The Second Master Master has a grudge with Emperor Qing. This is a fact, but Senior Situ should also know my Second Master Master. If he wants to take revenge, he will definitely kill directly to the Qingluan Palace. Who can stop him? Why collude with descendants of the Wen family and do so many things? This is not the character of my Second Master Master at all." Tuoba Yan said silently in his heart. This is the character of my mother who loves to make trouble, but you all think she is just taking care of her children in Shenbing City now...
Situ Yu didn't say anything, Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Situ, my master said that if Qisha City cannot accommodate Senior Situ, or if the Qing Emperor wants to trouble Senior Situ this time, our Shentiao City will welcome Senior Situ at any time."
"Hmph! I'm not old, but I'm very good at talking!" Situ Yu snorted coldly and said, "Tell Shangguan Old Thief that I don't want to see him, so I will never go to the Divine Soldier City!"
"Senior Situ, don't be too full of words, otherwise you will be embarrassed in the future." Tuoba Yan's lips curled slightly.
The two old and the young started chatting like this. Situ Yu didn't want to argue with Tuoba Yan. Seeing that Tuoba Yan just refused to leave, he really started to take Tuoba Yan's medical skills, but he was shocked because he didn't expect that children of this age would know so much.
In the Qingluan Palace, General Liu had already met Qingyu, and at this time Baili Qing was still tearing Bai Yi's painting in the inn.
Qing Yu heard General Liu report the process of discovering the traitor at the Qisha City Inn, and presented the arrow she brought from the secret room to Qing Yu to see.
Qingyu sat there with a gloomy face, with an arrow in front of her, and there seemed to be a storm in her eyes, and her eyes were very terrifying. Qingyu sat aside because he was summoned by Qingyu and said that the arrangements for the dinner tonight were not finished.
"Your Majesty, the current evidence shows that the people from Qisha City colluded with the rebels and helped the rebels hang rebellious objects at the city gate!" General Liu said with his head down.
"You just said that it was the young master of Divine Soldier City who proposed to search the inn in Qisha City? He has been following you all the time?" Qing Yu asked coldly.
"Yes. Please issue an order to capture the people from Qisha City!" General Liu said.
"Ye'er thinks, is it what you see on the surface?" Qing Yu turned his head suddenly and looked at Qing Yan.
Qing Yan lowered his eyes slightly and said with a faint expression: "Reply to the emperor's grandmother's words, my grandson dared not speak nonsense."
To be continued...
