Chapter 41: The Mysterious Order of Life and Death
"Master, Baicao Village suffered such a catastrophe. As a city guard, I failed to fulfill my duty to protect the city. How can I dare to forgive you? You should forgive me!" Xu Ming shook the knife on his waist, humbly and respectfully.
He saluted, and then said: "Master of the village, there is something I don't understand. You just came to Fulu City. It should be that you have not formed a personal enmity with anyone. Why did you suffer such a disaster and someone wanted to destroy the village and wipe out the family?"
Qin Buxian's chin rippled slightly, he cupped his hands and said with a faint smile: "General Xu, I also find this strange. I have had grievances with people in the past and recently. It is impossible to have such a big enemy, but they are really ruthless, and they are so cruel.
Surrounding and killing the princess, if the princess had not been highly skilled in martial arts and used all her strength, I am afraid that no one in Baicao Village would have survived!"
"Oh? Surrounding the princess? Are they here to assassinate the princess? Is she okay now? Where is she? Baicao Village was destroyed, why not take her to General Xu's mansion and stay temporarily?" Duguhan heard that the princess had taken action.
, with his right hand, he pulled the dark red bun hanging by his ear. He had confirmed his previous guess that the princess and Tianji were still alive, so he wanted to find an excuse to see the princess in person to confirm.
"Mr. Dugu, this matter has been arranged according to the princess' instructions, so don't bother me! By the way, I wonder if Mr. Dugu and General Xu will find anything when they check the scene?" Qin Buxian saw that doctors would kill people without repaying their lives, so he ordered Ding Yi and Luo Xin.
They all moved to the drug testing basement, knowing in their hearts that the master wanted to protect them. When they heard Duguhan's question, they avoided it and shifted the questioning accordingly.
Xu Ming pondered for a while and said: "From the on-site inspection, the fire used by those who besieged Baicao Village was similar to the firearms in the army, and the location calculation was very good, and they could maximize the use of fire to burn the houses and buildings in the village.
There are many other things. In addition, according to the servant Zhuang Ding, there are dozens of besiegers, and their martial arts skills are extremely high, and they are all outstanding warriors. From this point of view, their siege must be organized and premeditated.
, and such organization and premeditation cannot be accomplished by ordinary organizations..."
"Master! I found this in the West Cross Courtyard!" The servant handed over the token that was vaguely wrapped in black energy. There was a vague aura of life and death floating on it. If you look closely, it looks like Luosheng Hell, but also like heaven on earth. Consciousness
Jian always reveals a strange feeling between life and death.
Qin Buxian had a lot of experience, but when he saw the token, he was deeply saddened and failed to recognize it. Xu Ming also shook his head to express ignorance after seeing it, but Duguhan recognized that the token was a life and death order used to perform the mission of the Gate of Life and Death.
It's just that he found the killer of the Gate of Life and Death himself, and of course he wouldn't reveal it in order to arouse suspicion, so he shook his head to show that he didn't know.
"Master of the village, what happened!" Shang Wanquan, the steward of the Shang Mansion, heard the report from his subordinates that Baicao Village was under siege. He hurried over and saw ruins and scorched earth when he entered. His right eyebrow could not help but twitch.
Xian saw the token in his hand and blurted out: "Order of life and death!"
"Steward Shang! Do you know this token?" Qin Buxian and Xu Ming asked in surprise at the same time. Duguhan also shouted in surprise to show that he didn't know.
Shang Wanquan took the token, looked at it carefully as if he were identifying a treasure, and nodded with certainty: "That's right! The breath of life and death in the token is exactly the 'life and death attract each other in a single thought' that represents the gate of life and death."
, followed by 'Don't ask for reasons, just ask for money'. The Life and Death Sect never asks for reasons for its employers, as long as you give them money, you can do things for them. Of course, if someone is willing to do the job of a killer to pick up the Life and Death Sect, that's it.
No matter the reason, as long as you complete the task, you will get the corresponding reward."
"The order of life and death is the secret order of the life and death sect. Once the task is completed, it must be returned in time. If it is not the killer of the life and death sect, very few people in the outside world know about it. This Shang Mansion housekeeper is really extraordinary, he can actually recognize it!" Dugu Han was shocked, but his expression was different.
Still as usual, he pulled the dark red bun hanging by his ear with his right hand. He moved forward and pretended to scan the life and death order attentively. Then he seemed to have some enlightenment: "I also heard my father say that the life and death order is like 'life and death attract each other in a moment'."
, don’t ask about the reason, just ask about the money.'.
The Life and Death Sect is a major killer organization in the martial arts world. Its strength is no less than that of Tianhunshan and Jimen, which are known as the two giants in the martial arts world. This organization has always recognized money but not people. If the killers they send out perform the tasks, they will get rewards.
Being killed during the mission is not a matter of life and death. It's just that this organization has always completed the employer's mission at all costs after receiving money. Now that Baicao Village was attacked and they all died, the mission has not been completed, and they will definitely send people to attack again.
Kill! The village owner should be more careful!"
"Thank you, Mr. Dugu, for reminding me! Thank you in advance, Bu Xian!" Qin Bu Xian replied politely, then exchanged a few words and cooperated with Xu Ming in handling the scene.
"Master Qin, you have enmity with others, but you are hunted down by the Life and Death Sect. This seems to be extremely strange. And as you said, they tried their best to surround and kill the princess. Is it true that they were assassinating the princess as Master Dugu said?
The Lord is coming?" Xu Ming held the handle of the knife hanging at his waist with his right hand and tilted his head as if thinking.
"Nowadays, the war is in turmoil. Many rebellious ministers and rebellious troops intend to go against the imperial court. It is very likely that they invited the Gate of Life and Death to assassinate the princess and demonstrate to the imperial court! This matter must be investigated in depth!" Dugu Han deliberately confuses the public and makes the assassination target.
Tianji transforms into a princess, so that he can hide from more eyes and ears and avoid suspicion of coming to the Dugu family.
"What Mr. Dugu said makes sense, I'm afraid it's true! This matter needs to be reported to the imperial court and sent for a thorough investigation!" Xu Ming immediately expressed his position with his lips pressed against his lips. Qin Buxian and Shang Wanquan also agreed, and then exchanged other opinions and dispersed.
go.
After leaving, Duguhan thought that although he had smoked the smoke and said it was the Gate of Life and Death to assassinate the princess, he expected that given the princess's character, if she knew it was the Gate of Life and Death who was here to assassinate, he would use all his strength to investigate thoroughly, even though the Gate of Life and Death never betrayed anyone.
Boss, but if you follow the clues, you will definitely be able to find some clues. This is always a hidden danger. It would be better not to do anything, but to deliberately release the news that the door of life and death is here, and then attract the princess...
...When Dugu Han thought of this, a sinister and proud smile flashed across his face.
Xu Ming was extremely uneasy about the occurrence of such a major case in the city under his jurisdiction, especially as it related to the safety of the princess. He did not dare to neglect for a moment, and reported the situation to the court in detail, hoping to save Wusha and keep him.
All lives. After the news reached Yunjing, Luo Xin's father, the current emperor's uncle, was extremely angry and requested an order to fully investigate the case of assassinating the princess at Baicao Village. At the same time, he sent his confidants Hengwu and others to Fulu City.
As a result, the murder of Shen Shuzi was officially wanted. Advertisements were posted in major cities in the Cangyun Kingdom, offering clues to identify the wrong person and a reward of a thousand taels of silver. Those who killed the murderer were rewarded with a reward of 10,000 taels. Those who captured the murderer alive were rewarded with a reward of 10,000 taels.
One hundred thousand taels.
Shang Wanquan returned to the Shang Mansion and quickly passed on what happened here to Mr. Shang and Ganlin Temple. Shang Wen took the document from Shang Wanquan and looked at it carefully for a moment. His expression remained the same, and then he folded the document slightly and put it away.
Burning in the candlelight, he murmured: "The Gate of Life and Death attacked my Baicao Village and surrounded and killed the princess. It seems that she was hired by an extraordinary powerful person! Ding Yi has been a confidant that I have been hard to find for most of my life. Now he returns with Nephew Hua
Baicao Village treats chronic eye diseases, they are in great danger, I need to help them again!"
Shang Wen wrote back and asked Shang Wanquan to make corresponding arrangements. Then he left the room, walked around the corridor, and came to Long'er's room. He saw Long'er drawing his sword quickly and slowly, choking constantly and being as weak as a line.
A crisp sound filled the space. With his back to the lattice, his eyes were focused on the Zen characters on the wall. His expression was as calm as water, but his pupils contained unspeakable murderous intent.
Suddenly, Long Er's ears beat violently, his hands danced like snakes, and the sword energy that danced like fireflies flew forward like a waterfall, and his body turned with the sound, just as the sword edge reached the incoming person.
At that moment, he quickly retreated and sheathed the sword. Together with the action of drawing the sword just now, the whole process was like flowing clouds and flowing water, without a trace of flaw or squint. Long Er's body stood still like a proud pine tree, and his breath was normal, he bent slightly and said, cupping his hands.
: "Senior! Please forgive me, junior, for frightening you!"
Shang Wen only felt a biting cold wind blowing by his neck, and did not see Long Er's series of actions. However, his expression remained unchanged, and his eyes penetrated Long Er like a bright light, trying to see through everything about him. For a moment, he only
He felt that his crossbow was as blunt as a citron wood, and there was no trace of it in his expression. He thought to himself: "Now that the case of Shen Suanzi was attacked by Baicao Village, the emperor personally announced that he was wanted. In front of him, Long'er became the murderer of Shen Suanzi, but he
I wonder why he killed the God Counter? Is there a connection between the two?"
Shang Wen then thought again, that day when Ding divined fortunes, the bizarre predictions that he could predict accurately reminded him of his fame back then and the heavenly secret that became famous two years ago. Combined with the current divine fortune teller being killed, Long Er
Having just made a quick sword move, he was also vaguely guessing whether the person in front of him was Tianji's sword boy, and whether Ding Yi was Tianji.
Thoughts flashed through Shang Wen's mind, and after a moment he replied calmly and calmly: "Long'er, your sword skills are indeed first-class. Although I couldn't see it clearly, I can feel the sound of the sword, the moving clouds and the flowing water, just like a flying sword standing in the sky.
Xue Xia Ke. It’s just that after you took the Ganlin, your injury is not completely stable and needs further treatment. If you use the sword like this, you may cause injuries!"
"Senior Yiwen, I understand. It's just that my left eye has grown old in the past few days. I'm worried about the safety of the young master. I hope I can recover soon so that I can help the young master!" The sword boy said with a slightly worried expression, and then thought: "I don't know.
, ask General Tang to help find out how the young master’s affairs are going!”
"Benefactor, everything you asked me to do has been done. I believe there will be an answer soon!" At this time, Tang Yuren did not show up, and his rough and deafening voice came out with a sound that could break the eardrums, and then
A majestic and majestic body walked out of the door covered in dust, with the aura of a majestic general all over his body.
"General Tang! Thank you for your hard work!" The sword boy hurriedly thanked you, then poured a cup of tea from the antique teapot on the table, handed it to Tang Yu, and said: "General Tang, since Mufeng City, you have suffered many hardships.
I'm being chased by a killer, but even though I'm in Ganlin Temple now, I still have to be careful!"
