Qi Ning said "Oh" and Duan Canghai said: "This little wood is just a stone's throw away from the Duke's yard. If my subordinates are not wrong, the murderer is coming to assassinate the Duke tonight, but for some reason he suddenly killed someone here."

Qi Ning looked solemn, and Duan Canghai's words were very important. General Bronze was committing crimes outside his courtyard. It seemed that he was coming for him. The most terrifying thing was that although the Duke of Guardians could not be said to have many palaces, it was also extremely large. There were many courtyards in all sizes, and the other party obviously knew his place.

In the world, of course not everyone can enter the Duke of the Kingdom of Guardians. The other party can know the situation in the mansion, so he naturally put some effort into it.

But now there are two important issues lingering in Qi Ning's mind.

First of all, if the Bronze General really wanted to assassinate him, why did he alarm the snake but killed Su Lan in the middle? Su Lan was just a maid in the mansion, with a low status. What was the purpose of the Bronze General killing him?

Secondly, if the Bronze General wanted to kill someone to establish his authority, why did he come to Su Lan? The mansion of the Duke of Guru was combined, and there were nearly two hundred people. Why did he choose a maid with a low status?

He thought in his heart. At this time, Ximen Zhanying had already walked over and said softly: "The footprints disappeared when they reached the edge of the forest."

"disappear?"

Ximen Zhanying said: "He had somehow messy footprints in the forest, but when he left the forest, he didn't leave any footprints. If I was not wrong, his light skills must be very good, and he would not leave any traces after his actions."

Duan Canghai said: "Duke, will you send someone to the Shenhou Mansion immediately and ask them to investigate the matter?"

Qi Ning said: "Mrs. Isn't she investigating now?"

Duan Canghai was stunned and then a little embarrassed. At this moment, he suddenly thought that when he was competing in the palace, Ximen Zhanying had proposed the conditions that even if he got married, he would still have to work in the Shenhou Mansion. Duan Canghai forgot this, and Qi Ning remembered it after he said it.

Ximen Zhanying frowned slightly and said softly: "My husband, will you have any contact with the Bronze General later?"

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "It was just that I met you once the night I knew you. Not to mention seeing you since then, I have never heard of him."

"That's strange." Ximen Zhanying said in confusion: "Why did he come to assassinate you?"

Qi Ning said, "He sneaked into the mansion, naturally came for me." After a pause, he also showed doubt in his eyebrows: "But since he was coming for me, why did he kill Su Lan?"

"Did Su Lan happen to be discovered?" Duan Canghai said: "The murderer was seen, so he killed someone to silence him."

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "It doesn't make sense. The murderer's ability to sneak into the mansion has proved that he is extraordinary. Even if he encounters Su Lan, he can easily avoid it and will never let Su Lan discover it." Looking at Duan Canghai's eyes, "Su Lan is just an ordinary maid. Even if it is you, it should not be too difficult to avoid Su Lan's eyes and ears."

Duan Canghai nodded slightly and frowned and said, "That means that the murderer intends to kill Su Lan, but Su Lan has been in the mansion and rarely deals with outsiders. It is even more impossible to make enemies with such a master. Why does the murderer want to kill her?"

"Zhan Ying, what do you think is the reason?" Qi Ning looked at Ximen Zhan Ying.

The two of them had a few breezes in the bridal chamber, and the bride was also very charming in the room. However, when it came to the murder case, the redness on Ximen Zhanying's face had already faded, and she no longer had the charming and charming look in the room, and she looked capable and neat. After thinking for a moment, she said, "The murderer is not about killing Sulan, but about sucking blood!"

"Blood sucking?" Duan Canghai was slightly surprised.

In fact, Duan Canghai also knew a little about the vampire incident that occurred in the capital earlier, but he knew nothing about the details.

"My husband, the scream you heard was naturally when Su Lan was attacked." Ximen Zhanying's eyes were bright and clear as water: "I just speculated that the murderer might have been injured, and the reason is here. Su Lan is just an ordinary maid. Common sense, if the murderer sneaks into Su Lan, he will definitely be silent and will never make Su Lan scream and attract everyone's attention."

Qi Ning said: "Yes, I'm wondering about this too."

"Since Su Lan has the opportunity to scream, it means that the murderer was indeed in a wrong state at that time." Ximen Zhanying said: "After he held Su Lan hostage, he bit Su Lan's throat and wanted to absorb blood, but the guards in the mansion reacted too quickly. He didn't have much time, so he took a few sips in a hurry and fled." His beautiful eyes turned slightly, and he thought for a while before saying: "He killed Su Lan to obtain blood, but no matter how stupid the murderer was tonight, he would never run to the Duke's Mansion to kill people and suck blood, so I guess there should be only one truth."

"Tell me?"

"The murderer is indeed going to sneak into the mansion and is not good for you, but for some reason, something must have happened in his body, and he has to get blood. So he had no choice but to find someone to suck blood first, and Su Lan happened to be caught by him, so!" Ximen Zhanying sighed softly, "So Su Lan was attacked by him."

Duan Canghai immediately said: "What the wife said is extremely true, and in this way, it makes sense."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "This should be the truth about what happened tonight. He did not intend to kill Sulan, but because of the situation, Sulan happened to be caught by him!" After a slight pause, he ordered Duan Canghai: "Send someone to investigate Sulan's whereabouts tonight and check her bedroom." He added, "Give the orders, those who know about this should keep their mouths as if they are not allowed to speak everywhere, so as not to panic in the mansion. In addition, find someone to settle Sulan's body first."

Duan Canghai bowed and said that Qi Ning took Ximen Zhanying's hand out of the woods. He was in a heavy mood when he thought that Sulan, a young girl, died innocently.

Ximen Zhanying saw it and said softly: "My husband, the matter has happened. As long as we find the Bronze General, we can always avenge Sulan."

Qi Ning forced a smile, and at this moment, he saw Zhao Wushang come back in a hurry and reported, "Duke, that ugly man is gone."

Qi Ning was stunned, Zhao Wushang explained: "I went to the ugly man's house, but I didn't see him. I went to the place where he usually stayed, but there was no figure of him."

"My husband, who is the ugly man?" Ximen Zhanying said in confusion.

Qi Ning said, "It's the ronin I took in. I'm more intimate with Sulan on weekdays. I'll talk to you in detail after I look back." He frowned and asked Zhao Wushang: "I'm sure I can't find him?"

"The subordinates are still searching for people. On weekdays, ugly men often stay in some corners, maybe they are hiding somewhere." Zhao Wushang said.

Qi Ning thought for a while before saying, "Let me find him and tell me, and don't let the ugly man know Su Lan's death for the time being. Yes, Su Lan has family?"

"As far as my subordinates know, Su Lan came to the mansion four years ago. It was Qiu Yi who bought the girl from outside after the Grandmaster's order." Although Zhao Wushang was usually taciturn, he knew a lot about the matter in the mansion: "I heard that her parents were gone, and there was only one elder brother."

Qiu Yi is the former general manager of Jinyi Qi's family and has long been expelled by Qi Ning.

"The people in the mansion also told them that Su Lan went to his brother's place." Qi Ning sighed softly: "The ugly man relies very much on Su Lan and has a lot of feelings. If he knew that Su Lan was killed, he would probably!" He did not continue.

The ugly man lost his memory and was ignorant of the world. Although he looked hideous, he was innocent and innocent. With such a mind, he was even more difficult to accept Su Lan's murder.

The couple returned to the house and were in a very depressed mood.

For Qi Ning, on the wedding night, the Bronze General sneaked into the mansion and killed Su Lan. Of course, this made him feel very sad and angry. Ximen Zhanying thought that the Bronze General came to him. Although he knew that Qi Ning was very good at martial arts, he was still worried about his husband's safety.

Most of the red candles were burned, only a small piece was left, and the time had passed, and it was almost dawn.

If it weren't for the Bronze General's incident, Qi Ning would have been fighting with Ximen at this time. However, after this incident, although it was a wedding night, both of them had no intention of entering Wushan again.

Ximen Zhanying poured a cup of tea for Qi Ning, sat beside Qi Ning, comforted him, "My husband, don't worry, tomorrow morning, let's go find the second senior brother and ask the second senior brother and the others to investigate the matter. This time, the Bronze General showed up. If the Second Senior Brother and the others tried their best to investigate, they would definitely find clues, and the Bronze General would definitely be caught by us."

Qi Ning forced a smile, held Ximen Zhanying's hand, and asked softly: "Zhanying, you said that the Bronze General absorbed human blood several times, why did he do this?"

Ximen Zhanying thought for a while before saying, "My husband, I heard that there are some evil martial arts in the world. When practicing, it will hurt others' lives. Could the Bronze General practice some evil martial arts and must obtain human blood to practice?"

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Tonight, what you said might be possible, but tonight the Bronze General obviously rushed to take people's blood. If he wanted to practice martial arts, there was no need to run to our mansion to kill people and get blood. Find a secluded place where people could kill people and get blood without knowing it. No one can disturb him. But he killed people tonight and ran away hastily before the blood was retrieved. This also proves that he did not absorb human blood to practice martial arts."

Ximen Zhanying said with a slight note: "Young master is right, but if it is not for practicing qigong, why is that?"

"When I first saw you, I saw the bronze general sucking blood from people." Qi Ning frowned: "At that time, I was thinking, why do people suck blood? There must be a reason for such a terrifying behavior? In fact, what you just said about blood-sucking exercises is also what I have been thinking about, and I think it is very possible, but what happened tonight overturned this possibility." He stared at the red candle on the table, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think he sucked human blood not to practice exercises, but to save his life!"—
