Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Chapter 68

Xu Zhen said: "I advise you two to stop worrying about the 'crying in the middle of the night' in the capital, and also help me persuade the young master you followed just now to let him rest...Curiosity killed the cat." He didn't seem at all to "reduce trouble" for the two of them, he was simply pretending to be mysterious to block the way, in essence he was selling misery and playing hooliganism.

However, what did he mean by asking Luo Rong to rest?

Where is Luo Rong standing?

Having said that, at present, it is not clear how many "squares" there are.

However, Yunli was convinced that Xu Zhen appeared here alone to ask for a beating.He glanced at "Po Jian", and "Po Jian" immediately thrust towards Xu Zhen's heart.But Xu Zhen looked as if his kidneys were deficient, and he couldn't face it head-on, but he knew the trick of "rubbing oil on the soles of his feet".In the eyes of others, the attacking speed of "Broken Sword" was fast enough, but Xu Zhen was able to dodge his moves, and coupled with his strange whereabouts, not only was he unscathed, but he also slipped behind Yun Li without anyone noticing.

"Mr. Yunli, I know you look down on me, but you won't suffer from a sincere advice from a scumbag."

Xu Zhen made a gesture to pinch Yunli's neck, and Su Tong grabbed Xu Zhen's collar with a backhand, and lifted up the light wandering soul.Xu Zhen didn't panic, and smiled, revealing a canine tooth on the left and right.After laughing, Xu Zhen's figure faded away, and when he looked again, Yun Li saw that he had avoided a few feet again.

Before Yunli stepped forward to catch up, Su Tong suddenly fell forward, Yunli hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and when he raised his head again, Master Xu disappeared, but left a sentence: "Mr. Yunli, I just want to tell you , if the two continue to chase, not only you, Mr. Su is also the target. You should think about it carefully."

Yun Li cursed secretly, then turned to look at Su Tong.Su Tong supported her forehead and closed her eyes, but as if something appeared in front of her eyes, the eyebrows slowly opened, and she called "Mother" in a faint voice.Yunli suddenly remembered that on the first night he went to Xiuzhu in Shuzhou to find Su Tong, a tear-picking girl entered Su Tong's dream; at that time, Su Tong also called "mother".

In childhood and youth, before Su Qiuguang became a memory, Song Yi was the warmest person for Su Tong.

Yun Li patted Su Tong, and Su Tong stood firm. At the same time, a "little girl" with panic-looking eyes fell out in front of them.

The little girl is holding an iron hook tightly, obviously she is the tear-picking girl under Po Meng.Yunli realized that Xu Zhen didn't dare to spend a long time with "Broken Sword", so he released this pistol to buy her time to escape.

Cailei girl knelt down and said, "Xianjun, son, I, I was also threatened by him..."

Yun Li reassured her that it was all right, asked her to get up, and inquired, "Do you know what he is doing?" Kun, the girl who picked tears, took Kun's skirt and shook her head, "I only know that he is a fugitive who was arrested by Yan Wang himself. He She was guilty in her lifetime and deserved to be punished when she went to hell, but not only did she not accept the punishment and fled around, she even joined forces with other criminals a few years ago and injured a fairy king." What the tear-picking girl said was almost the same as what Yunli knew, However, without much extension, it is useless.

"Xianjun, son, I'm just a worker. I was unlucky to be held hostage by him, which disturbed the two of you. Please, please let me go." The tear-picking girl waited for Yunli and Su Tong to nod her head, blessing her body After being grateful, he turned around in a hurry and went away in seclusion.

The scenery under the night sky twisted and changed three times, and finally became a static scene.

The plaque of Yuchi's Mansion came into view: Xu Zhen "hit the wall" to form an enchantment, and actually led the two back to the banquet that was ending.Thanks to the fact that everyone outside Yuchi's mansion is currently concentrating on saying goodbye to each other, no one realizes that Su Tong appeared out of thin air.At this time, a group of young men who looked like scholars came out of the door. Among them, Yun Li recognized Jiang Yan who was delivering bacon to Luo Rong, and there were a few others who looked familiar. Thinking about it carefully, those few were brought by Su Tong The first batch of young scholars, and now all of them have grown into heroic figures.

The sights of several scholars naturally bumped into Su Tong, they greeted him one after another, and chatted a few gossips very familiarly.Yunli could feel the gazes of several people falling on him from time to time, and they seemed to be suspicious, but seeing that Su Tong didn't intend to introduce this friend, they didn't ask directly for a while.

"Mr. Su," a scholar widened his eyes as if he had discovered something important, "I think I remembered. This young master looks like the one from eight years ago..." He probably remembered It's not true, and I dare not say "exactly the same", "I don't know if this young master is the brother of that young master Yun?"

He should be open-mouthed normally, but the people next to him just showed helplessness, and those who approached him stabbed him with their elbows.He froze for a moment, and immediately put on the missing string, realizing that he had accidentally poked Su Tong's sore spot.Eight years ago, Su Tong asked Yunli to change his clothes and entered the palace with the scholars of civil and military sciences; after that, the scholars never saw Yunli again. Clue.

Whenever the young scholars recalled Mr. Su at that time, they all agreed that Mr. Su's depression at that time contained unprecedented pain.Anyone who knows Su Tong knows that when he went to the court to discuss the way of governing the country with Jiahui, he almost had the feeling of going to death.

The scholar wiped his face: "Drink too much, drink too much."

The scholars were "sorrowful" for Su Tong for a while, Jiang Yan broke the silence and said, "Master Su, isn't Luo Rong with you?" The man walked back to the garden at night, feeling uneasy, his heart beating wildly.

"..."

Su Tong: "What did he tell you when he left?"

Jiang Yan said: "I didn't say anything, just said 'Let's go first', we thought he would walk with you." Su Tong lightly said that Luo Rong never liked places with too many people, and should have returned to the garden by now .Jiang Yan nodded, half for Su Tong and half for Luo Rong, and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Su, let's go back first, we'll talk about it another day."

After walking away, Yun Li whispered to Su Tong, "He doesn't want others to know that he left alone."

Su Tong: "What did you find out about him recently?"

Yun Li said succinctly: "Go out secretly in the middle of the night, and when he came back, he was injured." After deliberating for a while, he still said something that he was increasingly puzzled: "He smells like that tree...today, I also smelled the smell of that tree on Yuchiling's body. Looking back, this smell first appeared on Nie Cang's body, and then appeared in the enchantment under the lotus pond in the palace."

"..."

"Also," Yunli said, "sometimes, Nie Cang is no longer Nie Cang." Afterwards, he worked hard to discover his ability to "recite by sight", and recounted in detail what happened at the door of the study today.After listening, Su Tong's expression was as dignified as before, and he didn't say anything, just said, "Go back first."

Gradually, bloodstains appeared on the ground.

The bloodstain was in the form of a line, extending all the way.

It extended to the garden allocated by Jiahui to Su Tong.

Yunli and Su Tong looked at each other, and pushed open the half-hidden door.After the door was opened, the blood was still "crawling" and got into Luo Rong's room.The room was unlocked, not only the door, but even the windows were open, without any previous cover.The room was lit with three lamps, illuminating the space in the wall extraordinarily bright.

Luo Rong knelt by the bed, and a dying woman lay on the bed.The woman had a wound on her abdomen, and Luo Rong didn't care about seeing no evil, and was trying to stop her bleeding.He lowered his head, and some spurted blood splashed on his mouth; if he thought about it in a bad direction, he seemed to be eating a big piece.

Yunli couldn't count the number of times this was the first time he had a close relationship with the word "healing wounds". It seemed that God thought that since he inherited Zihua's green light, he couldn't waste its miraculous healing effect.Seeing that Luo Rong didn't find the right method, Yun Li told him to step aside, twisted the green light that gathered into thin threads, and sewed up the wound on the woman on the bed.

Although the wound was stitched up and the bleeding stopped, the woman's lips became more and more purple, showing no sign of waking up.

Yunli: "She has poison in her body."

Of course Su Tong and Luo Rong could see that the woman had been poisoned, and Yun Li's statement implied that he was helpless against the poison.

Above the tip of the nose, the woman's face was covered with a black veil, and Yun Li was stretching out his hand to remove it, when the nearly unconscious woman uttered a smack with a sense of rejection.Yun Li paused, at this moment Luo Rong covered the black veil and shook his head, the strength in his hands seemed to protect the dignity of the woman.

The "women" captured by the wizards in the capital are all extremely ugly.

That's what Luo Rong said on the first night.

If the rescue failed, the girl's life would definitely be lost.The air froze for a long time, Luo Rong thought that he would have to speak, so he looked at Su Tong and Yun Li, and said, "I thought I could save someone, and I could ask them clearly..." He was rather disappointed, and murmured It took a long time before I came back to my senses and realized that the two people in front of me were still waiting for his explanation: "One night, when their cries for help sounded again, I went out to close the door and saw a girl running past me. She , she... gave me a hand and shouted 'Help.'”

"Her hands were hot, and from then on I believed 'they' were alive, they..."

"I tried to save her, but she disappeared."

"I ran in the direction she was running and then I couldn't see anything...it was all black...something was pricking my hand..."

"I escaped...every night I searched for it...there was something in it..."

As Luo Rong spoke, his language gradually became very fragmented, and he began to pant.He was not frightened by the unbearable memories, but sad, even angry, because of his powerlessness.When he spoke, the palm of his hand was still covering the black veil on the woman's face. Maybe it was a process, maybe a moment. The softness and warmth that belonged to life disappeared. He withdrew his hand suddenly, and then, making a fist, heavily Hit the edge of the bed.

Su Tong listened quietly, and pieced together his words: "You mean, they entered a barrier, and there is something in the barrier?"

Luo Rong slowed down and nodded.

He raised his arm and wiped his eyes, Yun Li found a new wound on his wrist.

Su Tong: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Luo Rong calmed down, and said: "Young Master Su has the ability to mobilize manpower, you should focus on the investigation, and you don't need to suffer unnecessary injuries." His tone was already calm, but when he saw the woman's body without breathing, He frowned again, and blamed himself: "Not only was the clue broken, but I also polluted Mr. Su's garden... There are so many things that bother you every day, and I've added another one to you."

Su Tong shook her head and asked, "Where you followed, 'can't see anything'?"

Luo Rong: "It's dark. The first time I accidentally broke in, I thought I was blind." Yun Li walked to the bed, leaned over to look at it quietly for a while, and said, "Then your hard work this time is not enough. It's a waste." Luo Rong lifted his spirits and said excitedly, "Young Master Yun, what do you say?"

Yunli: "Look at her clothes, isn't it too cool?"

Luo Rong: "Huh?"

Yun Li: "What are the rumors? These girls have gone to the palace." Luo Rong couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Young Master Yun, this is just a rumor, without any basis, and..." Yun Li glanced at him, feeling sorry for her. The following words came out: "Furthermore, Jiahui has always been very demanding, and probably won't have too bizarre a taste in that kind of thing."

But whoever stipulates that the girl enters the palace is for doing that kind of thing.

Most importantly, Luo Rong and the woman on the bed brought out the breath from the barrier.

that tree.

Yun Li suddenly clapped his hands, but his face was expressionless: "My aunt is no longer under the lotus pond, but she can be in other places."

Nie Cang stopped, but didn't he take in an apprentice?

As soon as he met Su Tong's eyes, Yunli knew that he had concocted the same thoughts as himself.

The ruler in Su Tong's heart has always been his own, even in the face of Jiahui, he dared to take out the ruler in the court, and in front of all civil and military officials, he measured the person on the seat so clearly that he had nothing to say.Now that the matter has run into him, he can't turn a deaf ear to it, nor can he turn a blind eye to it.

As far as the known fragments are concerned, the most convenient and quick way for Su Tong to terminate the affairs behind the scenes is to find the Yuchi order and use it to assist the country to explicitly prohibit it.However, this is equivalent to Su Tong digging out Jiahui's secret again, cutting off the progress of the emperor's secret actions for the second time.The last time Jiahui sent Su Tong to the frontier to make the national teacher retreat, he finally hid the secrets behind Fuguo's back. Fear or hope, the next way for him to vent his anger may not be as simple as sending Su Tong out of the capital.

Yunli asked Luo Rong: "Are there any fireworks restaurants in the capital?"

Luo Rong didn't pretend to be serious, and said: "There are several in the capital, it depends on whether Mr. Yun is asking about the ones with good looks or the ones without good looks, the ones with big faces or the small ones?"

"The facade is big."

Although the faceless ones are concealed, I am afraid that due to limited human and financial resources, they may not be able to deal with so many girls, and then push them into the flames almost without leaving a trace.

Luo Rong said, "That's Qixiang Tower, on the east side."

Yunli turned to Su Tong: "I'm going to live there for a few days. These days you should sleep, eat, and go up... just don't worry about it for now. Luo Rong, what can you do here? Is the girl wrapped up?" Luo Rong nodded and went out to find the cloth, Yunli said: "Also, you can ignore Yuchi's order and ignore it, their family..." He tried to shake off Mrs. Yuchi's matter several times and said, But when he thought that Yu Chiling didn't look like someone colluding with his mother's tricks, he swallowed back the words several times.It was uncomfortable to swallow, and it made his stomach hurt.

Hearing that Yunli hastily arranged the next few days, although Su Tong could roughly guess what he was thinking about, she couldn't help but want to ask some questions.Yun Li was inexplicably impatient, and blocked him, saying: "Add one, you should miss me, okay?" Before Su Tong could say anything, Luo Rong fetched the cloth, leaned on Yun Li, and wrapped the woman on the bed first. , and then asked: "Young Master Yun, what are you going to do?"

Yunli: "Give her back, and see if Qixianglou will accept it or not, and how."

"Master Yun is going to use this girl to deceive them?"

Yun Li acquiesced, made a "sorry" gesture to the woman, and carried her into the bag.

In order to prevent Su Tong from pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, especially Jiahui's mud that is not easy to clean up, Yun Li can only take a detour for him, first find out where the woman came from.After confirming the source, the next step is to find a way for the emperor to "discover the cause of the strange incident in the capital himself".

As for the witnesses, they can be anyone.

In the dead of night, the voice that lasted for many days came again.

Every household closed their doors and went to sleep with the lamps blown on.The lanterns of the Qixiang Building were still hanging brightly outside. I don't know if they were trying to greet someone or scare someone.There was no one outside the building, Yun Li walked a few steps, a woman came out from the door, probably because of Yun Li's deliberate speculation, the woman's hospitality smile was extremely unnatural.On second thought, if a person fakes a smile all day long, after 30 or [-] years, no one will be able to smile naturally.

At this hour, quite a few people were still drinking downstairs, and the entire Qixiang Building was out of tune with the quiet atmosphere around it.The woman didn't talk much, she just asked Yunli what he needed, and Yunli said to stay overnight, so the woman arranged a room for him neatly.After waiting for the guests to settle down, the woman seemed to relax a lot, and said with a smile: "On special occasions, guests like you, my lord, are our favorite in Qixianglou... Hey, look at those people downstairs, drunk , not to mention staying overnight, if I have to go back later, I have to find someone to see me off." As she spoke, the woman looked at Yunli directly: "Young master went to the street in the middle of the night, did you come out from home? Zensheng Just an empty room, no one to accompany you?"

"He's from outside the capital."

"To a relative's house?"

Yun Li said: "My friend's house. I heard that something is not right here during the day, but I didn't believe it. I really heard some unclean voices just now, so I didn't dare to go anymore." Going up a little faster, he asked the girl who followed him to heat a pot of water, and said professionally: "Young master, is he cold in the snow? Well, let's warm up first. Stay alone, there is no heat, little boy Young master, take a look and see which girl is pleasing to the eye, I will call you over. Oh yes, there are a few who can sing and have excellent voices, how about..."

Yun Li put down his glass: "Aren't the voices outside all from the girls? I've already heard it...the voice is good."
