When Bian Xiang woke up, he was greeted by an unfamiliar environment.

Obviously, this is already inside the Song camp.

The lights were deliberately dimmed, allowing Bian Xiang's eyes to quickly adapt to the light.

"We ordinary people... I'm really happy today..."

Someone!

Bian Xiang closed his eyes in a hurry and decided to listen before he could understand the situation.

"We, the common people... are going to be happy today..."

This little tune was very strange, and it just went back and forth with these two lines, going straight into Bian Xiang's ears. It became unbearable after a long time, so Bian Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, so he rolled over and sat up to see what was going on.

Who is humming this tune that is not in tune?

There was a man in white robe sitting in front of the bed, playing with a mutton-fat jade tablet in his hand and humming a tune. When he saw Bian Xiang sitting up, he stopped and asked, "Are you awake?"

"Wake up." Bian Xiang replied subconsciously, but he quickly realized it.

Is this man in white robe Ximen Qing? Too casual? What’s going on with this little song?

"Just wake up." Ximen Qing yawned, stood up and walked outside, muttering: "When you wake up, I should go to bed..."

"Master Ximen, please wait!" Bian Xiang hurriedly got off the bed in confusion. He couldn't find his shoes for a while, so he simply saluted with his bare feet: "Thank you for saving my life!"

Ximen Qing touched the Lei Gong Stone and did not turn around. He just said in a very calm tone: "There is someone else who saved you, not me. If you want to thank me, we will talk about it tomorrow morning."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ximen Qing yawned twice.

Bian Xiang was surprised when he heard this: "Is it possible that Master Ximen has nothing to ask the villain?"

"Huh?" Ximen Qing finally turned around: "What do I have to ask? Someone has already told me about your conversation with those elite killers; your identity has also been confirmed by General Qiong, my concubine who has never been with you.

Already."

Bian Xiang was shocked.

General Qiong, could he be the original princess Qiong Ying?

What does this unmarried concubine mean?

Ximen Qing impatiently walked back to the door: "Tian Hu deserves his punishment, but he is still a fool after all. Wait until early tomorrow morning to go to Baigou Village to dig out the body."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "pop" behind him, and Ximen Qing knew that it was Bian Xiang who had fallen to his knees without turning around.

"You don't need to thank me." Ximen Qing's next words stunned Bian Xiang: "There are still people waiting to crush their bones and ashes!"

This time Bian Xiang didn't follow him and sat on the ground blankly.

Ximen Qing walked out of the tent, looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed slightly: "It's troublesome, it's really troublesome! But after finishing such a thing... a girl will take over. It's just a little troublesome!"

...

...

The second day of October.

Ximen Qing, Qiongying, Ye Qing, Bian Xiang and dozens of blood-blowing soldiers went ahead to push the Jiezi Temple in Nabaigou Village at the foot of Mianshan Mountain; while Guan Sheng led the army and advanced slowly.

The location of Tian Hu's army is already clear. They are three or four hours away from them. As long as we continue at this speed, I believe we can make it in time.

As long as Sun An can capture Jiexiu County on time.

Bian Xiang had not entered Baigou Village yesterday, so he hesitated for a while; on the contrary, Ye Qing was skilled in the road and pointed out the direction with a wave of his riding whip.

Only then did Ximen Qing remember that Qiong Ying's house was not far from here, and Ye Qing was naturally familiar with it.

The Jiezitui Temple was still so deserted. Everyone jumped off their horses. Bian Xiang didn't know where Tian Hu was buried. If an elite killer hadn't died last night and told the news, Ximen Qing wouldn't know.

This place.

Although the entire temple is small, it is not easy to find a buried body; Ximen Qing touched the Lei Gong Stone and regretted not bringing the wealth.

"Should a dog's nose be sharp enough?" Ximen Qing stood in the yard and thought to himself: "Wangcai may have received similar training..."

While Qiong Ying and Ye Qing were looking around to see if there were any loose traces on the ground, Bian Xiang was also helping to search with another thought.

"Princess...Princess?" Bian Xiang approached Qiong Ying and called in a low voice.

Qiongying said coldly: "If you don't want to die so quickly, don't call me that!"

"Miss..." Ye Qing hurriedly came up to persuade: "Prime Minister Bian doesn't know those things..."

"What things?" Bian Xiang asked curiously.

Qiongying sneered: "Perhaps Lord Ximen hasn't told you yet that I am the one who wants to crush Tian Hu to ashes?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiong Ying didn't even look at Bian Xiang and went to mind her own business.

Bian Xiang was shocked, Ye Qing let out a long sigh, picked out the main points and told them to Bian Xiang, causing him to return to sitting on the ground blankly.

Bian Xiang, who originally thought of using Qiong Ying to escape, suddenly had a short-circuit in his mind.

"Hmph." Qiongying saw Bian Xiang in a daze out of the corner of her eye, and made a dismissive sound from her nose. She continued to look for suspicious places. When she encountered something suspicious, she would step on it twice with her feet.

"here!"

Ximen Qing's voice came not far away, causing the three people in the courtyard to look up.

Ximen Qing pushed open the door of the main hall, and the sunlight came in, just in time to see some blackened blood stains on the floor tiles inside.

Qiong Ying and Ye Qing stepped forward to check without hesitation. Bian Xiang also stumbled over to take a look and suddenly burst into tears.

Ximen Qing was too lazy to pay attention to him, and looked around along the blood stains by the sunlight, and sure enough, he found more blood stains not far away.

"There are no blood stains going outside. Tian Hu's body is inside this hall." Ximen Qing analyzed while rubbing his shoes on the ground next to him and pointed: "Look, there are more blood stains here. It's just that

It was deliberately covered with ashes..."

Qiong Ying was startled and looked at the floor tiles. Sure enough, she saw a strange color in the plaster under Ximen Qing's feet. Ye Qing hurriedly found a broom and gently swept away the plaster. Sure enough, a large amount of blood was revealed.

Although Ximen Qing studied clinical medicine before traveling, the large amount of blood stains is enough to show that someone was seriously injured or even died here.

"It seems that Tian Hu died here." Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Scan around and see where the blood went."

Ye Qing nodded in agreement and did as Ximen Qing said. He actually found a trace of blood, and he pushed it towards the back of the clay statue of Jie Zitu.

As expected, the three of them found traces of the floor tiles being rearranged behind the statue. After prying up a few pieces with their sharp knives, they found that the soil underneath was soft and had obviously been moved not long ago.

Ximen Qing went out and called a few blood-blowing soldiers and borrowed shovels from the village. It was dark behind the clay statue, so he simply lit up the Lei Gong stone and asked the blood-blowing soldiers to dig in. As expected, they dug out some full-sized rocks in just a few clicks.

Animal skins with dirt and blood stains.

"It's a white fox fur." ​​Ye Qing took one look and recognized it immediately: "Such a good white fox fur can only be found in the palace."

Qiongying lifted up the white fox skin with trembling hands, and underneath was an unrecognizable male corpse, with the entire head deformed.

"The attack is cruel enough."

Ximen Qing said something, Qiong Ying suddenly turned around and glared, Ximen Qing quickly said: "The crime is extremely heinous! You deserve it!"

"Come on, put this evil thief's body into the yard, crush the bones and spread the ashes!"

Ximen Qing gave an order, and two blood-blowing soldiers each pulled one leg of Tian Hu's body and dragged it unceremoniously.

Bian Xiang, who was at the door, saw the corpse passing by him. He finally came to his senses and rushed forward to grab Tian Hu's corpse tightly with a very funny look.

"Finally, it's a relationship between monarch and subject, and there is some affection."

Ximen Qing sighed in his heart and asked the two blood-blowing soldiers to leave the body and go to the woods outside to find some rotten wood and branches and the like, and set it up in the open space outside the temple.

Qiongying was in trouble for Ximen Qing's face, so she squatted at the temple door with a pretty face. Her angry look made Ximen Qing really want to go up and pinch the pretty face of the 28-year-old girl who could produce water.

Ye Qing's expression became much more relaxed. He silently stared at the man in white robe who was about to become the young lady's husband, and suddenly thought: "With such an ending, I am worthy of my wife's spirit in heaven."

"You'll be angry for a while." Ximen Qing tried to persuade him: "I originally wanted to capture Tian Hu and send him to the capital, but even if you want to break his bones and ashes, you can't do it. After Bai Ying did this, he actually had a scapegoat, the real Tian Hu.

I can crush my bones into ashes in your hands, aren't you satisfied?"

Qiong Ying rolled her eyes at Ximen Qing, then turned to look at Bian Xiang who was still crying at the door of the hall, then turned back to look at Ximen Qing.

That means, what do you think we should do?

Ximen Qing also felt very annoyed. He couldn't let Bian Xiang cry from day to night. The rising dust in the distance and the slightly trembling earth indicated that the army was about to pass by, but Bian Xiang had no intention of stopping.

"It's time to hit the road!"

Ximen Qing suddenly let out a loud roar, and Bian Xiang suddenly jumped up and raised his head to look this way.

"Master Bian, it's time for Tian Hu to hit the road."

Bian Xiang smiled bitterly, bent down to carry Tian Hu's body, and murmured to himself: "Yes, it's time to hit the road."

"ignition!"

Ximen Qing gave an order, and the blood-blowing soldiers threw their torches under the hastily built platform.

The wind was high and dry this season, and soon the flames started to rise, making people unable to help but retreat.

Qiongying's eyes flickered as she looked at the fire. It seemed that only this fire could extinguish the anger in her heart.

Ye Qing looked at the fire with a serious expression, feeling that the burden that had been weighing on him was about to be let go.

And Ximen Qing looked at the fire...well, it seemed that too much firewood had been put out. In this weather, it would be terrible if the whole forest was set alight. There were not enough people to put out the fire.

"My lord, we are on our way!"

Bian Xiang roared in vain, and his hoarse voice made his voice extremely weird. Looking at the fire, his eyes also became a little abnormal.

The fire was burning brightly, causing everyone around to retreat a little further. Only Bian Xiang didn't care at all, and walked towards the fire step by step with Tian Hu's body on his back.
