Chapter 1487 792 Clues

On the night of the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month, the mysterious man from Baiyue killed the five guards of Bixiaotang with lightning speed in order to save the saintly woman's clothes, and he didn't alarm anyone.

This incident was the beginning of a series of recent incidents. Baihui and Haitang glanced at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that Concubine Shizi would suddenly mention the bodies of those guards.

Baihui didn't need to ask Zhu Xing this question, she just replied, "Prince Concubine, as far as the servants know, the bodies of the guards were buried in Fenglinggang outside the city after seven days of rest."

Nangong Yue originally wanted to see the corpses of those guards in person, but in the middle of the night, it was inevitable that the movement would be too loud and eye-catching when he left the city by himself. This matter still has to be done secretly and quietly so as not to startle the snake.

After she pondered for a while, she instructed Haitang to say, "Haitang, go to Fenglinggang with Butler Zhu to open the coffin for the concubine of this world and conduct an autopsy!"

Nangong Yue's always gentle voice seemed a little cold on this winter night, and even showed a hint of sharpness like a sword.

Open the coffin for an autopsy! Haitang's eyes gleamed in the moonlight. They secretly guarded the cemetery and had no reverence for corpses. After listening to Nangong Yue's instructions, Haitang felt that Concubine Shizi really deserved to be a woman of Shiziye, and she acted decisively and didn't pay attention to the details.

"Yes, Concubine Prince." Haitang responded loudly and listened to Nangong Yue's next instructions.

"Haitang, I want you to check for me if the guards' bodies are..."

In the night wind, Nangong Yue's calm voice came slowly and calmly, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

During the conversation, the three masters and servants came to Nangong Yue's yard. After that, Haitang left in a hurry and went to work.

In the distance came the sound of the watchman beating gongs and drums, "Doom! Drum! Drum! Drum!" The four sounds of gongs and drums represented the fourth watch.

A new day has begun in people's sleep, however, the night seems to be darker, deeper and colder.

It was not early, so the maids hurriedly served Nangong Yue and rested, but this night was destined to be ups and downs and sleepless.

Nangong Yue didn't know when she fell asleep, only that she woke up from a light sleep from time to time. When she opened her eyes for the first time, she found that the sky outside was already bright.

There was some movement in the direction of the main room, and Nangong Yue suddenly sat up and asked aloud, "Who?"

Baihui's voice sounded outside: "Prince Prince, Haitang is back..."

Then, the shofar palace lanterns in the inner room were lit, illuminating the surroundings brightly, and there was a rustling sound in the room...

After a while, Nangong Yue wrapped a mink fur cloak and sat on an armchair in the inner room. Haitang came in with Baihui and Queer.

Haitang should have bathed and changed into a blue-blue dress with a touch of water vapor on her body, and Queer carefully kept a certain distance from Haitang.

Haitang, who had not slept all night, did not see a trace of exhaustion on her face, but showed excitement.

"Concubine Shi," Haitang proudly clasped her fists, "The slave servant and Butler Zhu have gone to Fenglinggang to dig out the coffins of the five guards, opened the coffins and re-examined the bodies of those guards, just as you guessed, Concubine Shizi. , the corpses of those guards are not quite right. Each corpse has a lot of bruises and bruises that were not there before. It should be caused by the movement of Gu worms in their bodies before they died. Until a period of time after death, these bruises It's just showing up little by little..."

Queer heard Haitang calmly say something about opening the coffin and what Gu worms were moving in her body, she only felt goosebumps all over her body, she silently stepped back half a step and then half a step back, as if she smelled the sound when Haitang came back. An indescribable corpse stench.

Haitang continued: "The real cause of death of these guards is not the knife wound, but the Gu worm biting the bloodline of their neck from the body, and then the Gu worm broke out from the side of the neck... After that, the murderer died again. The suspects used sharp weapons to add some wounds to the corpses to hide their true cause of death."

Saying that, Haitang's expression became more solemn, and there was a touch of admiration in Nangong Yue's eyes.

Not only Baiyue has Gu, there are also some ethnic groups in the Central Plains and Southern Border who can use witchcraft. Haitang, as the secret guard of the palace, has naturally heard some rumors about Gu poison. It is precisely because of the mystery of Gu. Because all the rumors about Gu are appalling, it makes Gu even more terrifying...

But "Gu" is by no means invincible!

The fear is that they don't know why.

Nangong Yue didn't speak, and half-drowned her eyes in thought.

Before, neither she nor Zhu Xing thought that this mysterious man and his subordinates were not only cunning, but also very skilled, so that they could enter and leave the Bixiao Hall in such a dazzling manner, killing people invisibly, but now it seems that they are because of this person. He had a wrong estimate of him.

This mysterious person behind the scenes killed people with Gu worms, and deliberately used knife wounds to disguise the fatal wounds left by Gu worms. It can be inferred:

First, he didn't want them to know that he was good at poison;

Secondly, it should be that he deliberately disguised himself as a peerless master.

This person is so mysterious, I am afraid that he lacks confidence, so it seems that he should not have many people... maybe even only one person!

Thinking about it, a light flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes.

Originally, they knew too little about this mysterious person behind the scenes...

And from this moment on, this person began to be exposed to their eyes little by little from the darkness.

"Baihui..." Nangongyue raised her eyes and looked at Baihui, first explained her speculations one by one, and then said, "Although Carrero is alive, he is injured and he went into the water, if this person is alone Come here, I’m afraid it won’t be far to take Carrero, you ask Butler Zhu to check the pharmacies and doctors in the city and nearby villages and towns!” After that, she cautioned again, “Be careful not to startle the snakes.”

They have lost too much, and now, they must take every step and be cautious before they can turn the situation around!

"Yes, Concubine Shi." Baihui hurriedly left after responding.

As for Haitang, who had not slept all night, she went down to rest first.

At this time, the first ray of dawn had already illuminated the eastern sky, and the sky outside was not yet fully bright, but Nangong Yue had no intention of going back to the couch and sleeping again, so she asked Thrush to soak her in a pot to refresh her senses. Tea, went to the small study.

She wanted to find books about Gu, but she knew too little about Gu.

Nangong Yue was locked in the small study for a long time, flipping through medical books, medicine books, and those books about Baiyue one after another... When she took out a note from her grandfather Lin Jingchen from a bookshelf, her brows moved. Some time ago, Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia went to the free clinic in Heyucheng.

With his grandfather's medical skills and experience, he must know much more about the poison than himself, unlike himself, who is almost blind to cross the river by feeling the stones...

Thinking about it, Nangong Yue raised her head and instructed Thrushi on the side: "Thrush, you go to Zhu Xing and ask him to send someone to find Grandfather and Sister Xia and escort them back to Luoyue City as soon as possible."

The eyes of the maids lit up, and Thrush immediately led the order out of the small study.

Only Nangong Yue and Que'er were left in the small study room. The master and servant continued to flip through the books. There was only the sound of pages being turned in the room. The rising sun outside slowly rose, gradually illuminating the Bixiao Hall. It was bright, but Nangong Yue and Que'er didn't notice it, letting the candle in the shofar palace lantern continue to burn and jump...

I don't know how long it took, a sonorous voice broke the silence, and the voice got closer and closer.

"mother!"

"mother……"

Soon, there was a sound of picking the curtain, and I saw the little guy with the tiger's head and the head coming, the little guy, and the little guy's little meat claws pointed forward, it seemed to be pointing the way.

Silk Niang also vaguely knew what seemed to have happened last night. Concubine Shizi was busy at the moment, and while saluting, she explained embarrassingly: "Concubine Shizi, this servant has already served the little grandson for breakfast, and the little grandson misses you... …”

Nangong Yue made a gesture and asked the wet nurse to put the little guy on her lap.

"Mother." The little guy pouted and kissed his mother's cheek with a "click", then adjusted himself to a comfortable sitting position and smiled contentedly against his mother's soft chest.

"Brother Yu is really good." Nangong Yue helped him adjust the tiger hat on his head, and then continued to turn over the open book on the bookcase.

For the little guy, even turning the pages of the book is so interesting, and seeing the pictures on the page, it seems that he has found something new and interesting, and he stretches out a chubby finger to point...

Nangong Yue reluctantly wanted to move the little guy's hand away, but suddenly his eyes narrowed and he was attracted by the line of words above the little guy's fingers.

This page is to introduce the origin of the Holy Heaven Sect. It is mentioned that the Holy Heaven Sect was originally based on "Gu", and regarded "Gu" as a sacred object. The first generation of saintess was especially good at the art of Gu insects...

Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes and pondered.

She remembered that she had turned to a book before that mentioned the relationship between saintess and disciples, and vaguely felt that she had caught something.

This mysterious man is good at poison.

This mysterious man is orthodox.

This mysterious man executed Qiyi.

Could it be that this mysterious person is from the Holy Heaven Religion, and his status is honorable... Wait!

Nangong Yue's spiritual light flashed, her eyes widened slightly, and an idea emerged in her heart:

Could this person be the previous saintess of Shengtian Sect? !

It is reported that the former saint Ayimu, the first queen of Baiyue, died many years ago... Or is this person a highly respected elder in the sect?

Or, that Aimu didn't die at all?

So she will do anything to save Carrero?

One guess after another appeared in Nangong Yue's mind, making her mind unable to calm down for a long time.

After that, she instructed Baihui to tell Zhu Xing all her guesses, and then continued to search for clues about the poison...

The study fell silent again, except for the sound of pages flipping and Xiao Xiao Yu's self-satisfied murmur. The little guy couldn't sit still at all, without a stick of incense, he twisted his little butt on his mother's thigh.

Nangong Yue was a little funny and a little helpless, so she just took the little guy to Jiang Yixi's place.

Jiang Yixi had already got up, changed into a silk begonia and red pomegranate, her hair was simply pulled up, and only a simple hosta was inserted. She seemed to have recovered from the shock last night, and she was in good spirits. Quite a few, but they are tired of traveling with thousands of miles between their brows.

At this moment, Jiang Yixi's eyes had no time to look at Nangong Yue, and all her attention was attracted by this little guy who was staggering towards her.

This is the son of sister Yue and Yi!

She looks like A Yi and a little like Sister Yue. The corners of Jiang Yixi's mouth lifted slightly, forming a shallow smile.

The little guy looked at Jiang Yixi curiously, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his fingers. Looking at his actions, Nangong Yue knew what he wanted to do, and calmly held his little hand, while helping him make a bow and salute, he said with a smile: "Brother Yu, my name is Auntie."

The little guy obediently let his mother toss himself, and called out vaguely: "One...one."

"Brother Yu is so good!" Jiang Yixi, who has always liked children, looked at the chubby little guy and felt that he was cute everywhere, and his heart was about to melt. He really wanted to hug him and kiss and touch...

She and Ajun have been married for many years, and because of her difficulties in having children, she has never had children. She also once looked forward to whether a miracle would come to her, but unfortunately the reality was so cruel.

Over the years, Jiang Yixi has really thought about it. It is a blessing for him to survive the epidemic in the Hunting Palace. It is already a great blessing for him to be able to hold the hand of his son and grow old with his son!

As for the kids, just do it!

Jiang Yixi's eyes were clear and bright, and his face was full of smiles. She suddenly remembered something, by the way, she had to take out the greeting gift she prepared for Brother Yu.

Jiang Yixi instinctively wanted someone to pick it up, but suddenly thought that Qingyi hadn't arrived at Luoyue City yet, and her luggage was still not around.

"Brother Yu," Jiang Yixi explained solemnly to the little guy, "Auntie has prepared a gift for you, but she's not around. I'll supply you another day, okay?"

Of course, Xiaorou Tuan, who was babbling, didn't understand what Jiang Yixi was talking about.

That cute little appearance made Jiang Yixi laugh out loud and rubbed his tiger hat.

Seeing that Jiang Yixi liked her little guy so much, Nangong Yue was both happy and a little sad. Seeing the peace between Jiang Yixi's brows, she knew that she had no children, and she was still worried. On the one hand, it was because of Jiang Yixi's tough temperament. On the other hand, it also represented that Han Huaijun had been very good to her over the years. Qin Se and Ming.

Jiang Yixi squeezed Xiao Xiao Yu's chubby little hand, thinking that his babbling was very funny, his eyes flashed, and he deliberately teased him: "Brother Yu, you are here to play with Auntie today, okay? ?"

Sure enough, Xiao Xiaoyu was accustomed to continue the end of the sentence: "Okay."

It made everyone in the room burst into laughter.

After Jiang Yixi and the little guy were talking together for a while, a faint scent of medicine came from outside the house, and then saw a little maid in Tsing Yi carefully holding a tray in...

Xiao Xiao Yu seemed to be frightened, so he ran to Nangong Yue staggeringly, carefully hid behind his mother, stuck out half of his round face and looked at the little maid in Tsing Yi, he looked like he was watching What kind of monsters are there.

Nangong Yue looked a little funny, patted the little guy soothingly, and said to Jiang Yixi: "Sister Xi, I'll give you a prescription to soothe the nerves and replenish qi, you've worked hard all the way, drink a few days of conditioning first. Get down."

Nangong Yue is not good at gu poison. This bowl of soup is a recipe that she came up with after reading a lot of books. Although it cannot cure the gu poison in Jiang Yixi, it can temporarily suppress the worm and prevent it from growing too fast... …

Seeing that the little girl brought the tray to Jiang Yixi's side, the little guy was relieved, still holding his mother's skirt with both hands, watching Jiang Yixi drank the soup with a sympathetic face, and then walked over and patted it. As if she was comforting her, she made Jiang Yixi smile again, and even the bitterness in her mouth seemed to have faded a lot.

Nangong Yue explained with a smile: "The weather turned cold a few days ago, I saw that Brother Yu had a cough, so I gave him a prescription and took the medicine for two days, and he still smells the medicine and his color changes. "

Hearing this, the wet nurses and maids in the house couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Xiaoyu didn't know what they were talking about, and looked at his mother and Jiang Yixi blankly for a while. Seeing that Jiang Yixi couldn't help holding him on his knees, he sighed: "Brother Yu still knows how to comfort Auntie, So cute!"

"Be good..."

The little baby's milky voice from time to time attracted the clear laughter like silver bells from the women, and it seemed to dilute the haze that had been shrouded in the Bixiao Hall these days...

However, the western night at the other end of Dayu was still shrouded in overcast clouds, and even the overcast clouds were even thicker and deeper.

In the imperial study room of the Palace of the Western Night, the King of the Western Night had just received the military report from the western border, and his face was as gloomy as the sky outside.

His sharp eyes stared at the military report in front of him, anger grew and spread in his heart, and his body trembled uncontrollably...

How could this be? !

According to this military newspaper, Tahai shot and killed the Marquis of Weiyuan of Dayu with one arrow, and after leading the Xiye army to capture Feixia Mountain, he immediately led the army to counterattack Liuquan City and Chuliang City, intending to wipe out the mere 10,000 people in one fell swoop. The Southern Border Army did not expect that the army would encounter an ambush in the middle of the road and suffered heavy damage.

Now that the army in the front has cut off the supply of the rear, even if they have won Feixia Mountain, they can no longer continue their eastward expedition. They can only temporarily station in Feixia Mountain and fall into a dilemma...

"Stupid, really stupid!" West Night King angrily slapped the table and cursed.

This idiot, Tahai, destroyed the good situation he had finally formed in the Western Border during the night, and put himself in a situation where he had no soldiers to adjust!

The young general who sent the military newspaper today knelt down below, silent as a cicada, and lowered his head even further. He really wanted to disappear out of thin air.

Several other generals did not dare to touch the bad head of the West Night King, and they were all silent.

The air in the imperial study was heavy and oppressive.

The King of Xiye didn't bother to pay attention to the others, and his eyes fell on the stack of military newspapers next to him. Those were the military newspapers from the southeastern and southern borders of Xiye. Xiao Yi's side was fine, but the official language was really white. It was his Xiye's confidant. In just ten days, Guanyubai's army had been marching northward, and successively won five cities including Dangshan City, Xingqing City, Lingwu City, and approached him from the southern border. Central...

Guan Yubai's army is invincible wherever it passes, and those cities are all without the strength to fight, and they will be defeated!

Although this Guan Yubai has not been on the battlefield for nine years, although his subordinates are no longer his official army, but Guan Yubai is still the same Guan Yubai. When she was in the scabbard, her spirit was still the same!

In an instant, the West Night King suddenly felt fear, a kind of fear he hadn't had for a long time.

Many pictures of the past flashed in his mind like a revolving lantern, thinking of himself, remembering how many famous generals he did not know in the west night were defeated again and again under the banner of Guan Yubai on the land of the Western Xinjiang, Let them be as brave as tigers and wolves, the Xiye army was frightened by the fame of the official language, and lost the momentum before the battle...

Could it be that this lingering official Yubai is the nemesis of his West Night? !

Do not!

Will not!

Even if Dayu Western Border can't transfer reinforcements to the southern border for the time being, he still has a great chess game!

A sharp and fierce flashed in the eyes of the West Night King, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Lakda!" There was a hint of impatience in his tone.

Lakda hurriedly walked out of the army and clasped his fists in response: "The end will be here."

The Night King of the West looked at Lakda with burning eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you do the thing that Gu explained?"

As long as they provoke Xiao Yi and Guan Yu to lose peace, there will be a lot to do in the future!
