Chapter 581 Another trouble before marriage (10)

Author: Luoxue Youlian

"Just an accidental death?"

A low voice.

When Zhao Guogong spoke, his expression did not contain the hidden pain that Su Rao had felt before. Instead, his face became calmer and his expression became even more unclear.

"Returning to my country is indeed an accident."

The private guard changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees. He was completely prostrate and did not dare to deceive the Duke.

They got the order from the Duke of China and secretly took the young lady to Qingyun Temple in the name of the Queen Mother. They didn't want the young lady to realize that the direction they were going was not Langjing, so they knocked them unconscious in the middle of the night and took Shu Lan and the border guard escorting her with them.

, drove away overnight.

They slept for a whole night, and when they woke up, they wanted to catch up, but their horses were all drugged and died. Without horses, it was difficult for them to catch up, so they had to go to the nearest post station first.

After they found the horses and followed them all the way, they saw the remains of the carriage and the lady's body at a curve on the hillside. After several rounds of investigation, they determined that it was an accident.

While the private guards were talking, the housekeeper waved his hand, and four more private guards entered the house, carrying two corpses in pairs.

A body was carried on a stretcher and covered with white silk, very carefully.

The other body was carried in casually.

Zhao Lianxin and the border guard who ran away because he was afraid of taking responsibility.

The guards of the city here fainted from their injuries not long after escaping. When they were looking for him, they had frozen to death in the forest.

Zhao's private guards searched for traces of blood and footprints all the way to find this person, but they did not find any hidden weapon on this person that might have shot down the rock.

They also checked the rocks that had been crushed by the snow and smashed the horse's back one by one. There were no scratches left by arrows. The rocks rolling down were accidental and there were no traces of man-made damage.

Zhao's private guard came to this conclusion after several investigations, and it was also based on the fact that the day of Zhao Lianxin's accident happened just after a snowstorm. The sky was white and the snow was thick, completely covering the dead branches and leaves in the mountains and forests.

, on the mountain road, only the wheels of the car left snow marks, and there were no other traces.

The top of the small mountain peak where the rocks were crushed is even more vast and white, with no trace of human trampling. The wind and snow have stopped, and there will be no more snow to cover up other traces.

"call…"

After a long time, more than half of the candles in the candlestick had been burned. Only then did Zhao Guogong, who was sitting on the grand master's chair, exhale, but he did not get up, let alone see his granddaughter.

At this moment, Zhao Guogong had the same expression as that time when he abandoned Zhao Lianxin and moved to Zhuxiang. He slowly touched a handful of goat's horns and beard. He just sat there and stared at the body covered with white silk before saying something:

"When you marry Zhu Siam, you will be responsible for all the good and bad in the future. This was the last advice your grandfather gave you at that time. Now you can't bear it because you didn't listen to your grandfather's words. If you had listened to your grandfather's words, why would you have ended up like this?

No matter how you end up now, you won’t have to be trapped in a Taoist temple in the future, and you won’t have to resent your grandfather for being so cruel. For me, daughter of the Zhao family, you have already disappointed my grandfather."

He waved his hand and carried the body down. After Luo Ling's wedding, he would find the right time to bring it back to the people who were looking for it. There was no need to bury her in the family land. She was no longer the daughter of his Zhao family, so she could just find a feng shui place.

After giving the explanation, Zhao Guogong just got up and walked into the inner room. For the sake of family honor, he could be so cruel. He had high hopes for him since he was a child, but in the end he was disappointed. His granddaughter died now, and he would not let her enter the ancestral grave.

, humiliating the family.

But when the figure walked into the inner room, his back was slightly hunched, and Butler Zhao followed him, he saw the deep pain that the Duke of Guo was hiding.

Take a breath and let the private guards carry the body down.

The candle was lit in the middle of the night and was extinguished just after midnight.

There was no more movement.

Be quiet.

As for Zhuxiang and Langjing, when Zhao's private guards returned to report, Siam Yi Chi Shao and Yun Mujing also received news from their respective trusted followers.

The Black Owl and the Xinying Eagle sent news one after another. Siam Yi Chi Shao received it in the middle of the night, and Yun Mujing learned about it early the next day. Everyone was aware of this natural disaster.

The order given by Chi Shao of Siam Yi, and Su Rao's guess, was not that he went ahead to ambush Zhao Lianxin on his way back to Beijing, but that the Eagle Shadow Guards had been secretly following Zhao Lianxin since she left Zhu Siam.

He originally wanted to deal with it quietly in the dense forest, but when he was about to take action, Zhao Guogong arranged for private guards to come to disrupt the operation of the Eagle Shadow Guards. Unexpectedly, the person who picked up Zhao Lianxin would go directly to the border state county.

Waiting outside, no one made any move for a while.

Zhao Lianxin was picked up by the private guards arranged by Zhao Guogong. Although the Zhao family's private guards were not as good as the Yingying secret guards, if they acted rashly, the news would inevitably leak out and cause trouble between Zhuxiang and Yunlang.

Unable to do so, the Eagle Shadow guards continued to follow in secret, looking for another chance to kill Zhao Lianxin and the Zhao family's private guards who came to pick her up.

On Yun Mujing's side, compared to Siam Yi Chi Shao, Yun Mujing knew Zhao Guogong better. Even if the Queen Mother came to protect Zhao Lianxin, Zhao Guogong would never let Zhao Lianxin come back to Langjing, so Yun Mujing asked him to keep an eye on him.

On the contrary, they are from the Zhao family.

After the Zhao family's private guards were dispatched and easily replaced the people Empress Dowager Shu arranged to pick up Zhao Lianxin, Yun Mujing knew that Zhao Lianxin would not be able to return to Langjing. Then, if Zhao Lianxin was half-dead under the eyes of the Zhao family's private guards,

If he is not disabled, then the problem can only occur because his own people in the Zhao family are not able to take care of him.

Later, Zhao Lianxin discovered that the person who picked her up was not arranged by her aunt, but her grandfather. She escaped at night, and with such a perfect opportunity, the Eagle Shadow Guards immediately chased her, and the men arranged by Yun Mujing also followed secretly.

, both parties act.

As expected, the two parties noticed each other's existence before taking action against Zhao Lianxin. Both parties thought that the person the other party was secretly hiding and following was a secret guard secretly protecting Zhao Lianxin. The other party had already noticed it and could no longer hide it, so it had to be killed.

Don't leave it behind.

However, just when both sides were about to take action, the heavy snow on the mountain peaks caused such an accident. The carriage rolled down the hillside, but both sides just looked at it, and neither of them rushed to rescue.

The two sides reacted like this, and they understood clearly in their hearts. The leaders of each other only looked at each other, and never thought about who sent the other party. Since they are all here to kill Zhao Lianxin, there is no need to think too much, and they will not

They are part of the Zhao family. Since they are not part of the Zhao family, they will not publicize the meeting between the two parties to the Zhao family.

Zhao Lianxin died unexpectedly, which saved them from taking action. Both parties left quietly without saying anything.

Although they secretly followed and left traces, they were all in the mountains and forests opposite the place where Zhao Lianxin's accident occurred.

There is a hillside between the forest and the curve here, and there is a ditch under the hillside. Zhao's private guards explored the traces under the ditch. Apart from the wreckage caused by the carriage rolling down, there were only a bloody trace of climbing and a series of messy and distant traces.

Since there were no footprints, they would not explore the forest on the opposite side in the wind and snow.
