"It's been two and a half years since the last time these poisons appeared." Bai Ying half sighed and half sarcastically said: "I thought they were going to hide in the coffin in this life."
"Humph, how is that possible? Don't forget, those are a group of lunatics who are desperate for their lives." Black Eagle sneered powerfully.
"If this matter was led by the emperor, how could he have Yuesheng?" Ziying's words hit the nail on the head. Red Eagle and others frowned, this is what they didn't understand, and several people turned their gazes to Qi Qi.
Ink conveys the same message.
Is there any connection between Qi Mu and the Moon Worship Cult? Has the cult, which has disappeared for more than eight years, reappeared? And what impact will this reappearance have on them?
Qi Mo's expression was cold and indifferent. He glanced at everyone's unhappy faces and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Ziying, tell them what happened."
Red Eagle and White Eagle were stunned, and both turned their gazes to Ziying, not understanding what Qi Mo was referring to.
Ziying nodded slightly, and his usually smooth eyebrows slowly squeezed together, glanced at the pale Black Eagle, and said coldly: "A few days ago, the prince and I just learned about the location of Shengyun Waterfall, so we went there immediately.
On the way, the black horse suddenly got stuck. As soon as we dismounted, we found seven seriously injured corpses in a ditch on the side of the road."
Corpse? Red Eagle and White Eagle blinked in confusion. People in the Southern Territory are cruel, believe in force, and do not have a perfect management system. Murder and looting have been going on for many years. What is the benefit of finding a corpse in a ditch?
Strange?
However, the two of them knew that Qi Mo and Zi Ying were not living beings, and it was impossible for Qi Mo not to know what they knew. It would definitely be their reason for saying this, so they held their thoughts and listened to what Zi Ying had to say.
Ziying's narrow and dark eyes slowly glanced at the two people, and said seriously: "Seven people, four boys and three girls, ages seven, seventeen, twenty-seven and seventy-seven."
Years old, one was seven, one was seventeen, one was a boy and one was twenty-seven, and a man was seventy-seven years old. Two were skinned to death, two had their hands and feet chopped off, and the remaining three had all their internal organs.
It was taken away.”
Having said this, Ziying paused for a moment, and his voice moved faintly: "Do you have an impression?"
At first, Red Eagle and White Eagle were confused and didn't understand what Purple Eagle's series of sevens meant. But after a while, they suddenly realized what they were saying, and their eyes suddenly stared like a cow.
Bai Ying's mouth opened and closed, and he repeated this several times before he found his voice: "Seven people, seven years old, seventeen years old, twenty-seven years old and seventy-seven years old, a total of six sevens. This is six sevens
Number!!”
Ziying nodded slowly. Red Eagle swallowed, turned his head and looked at Qi Mo, and said with difficulty: "Today is the fifth day of March. If I remember correctly, the new leader of the Moon Worshiping Sect is
If you want to ascend the throne, you must choose the second day of February, and the number six or seven is exactly the necessary ritual for ascending the throne! Ziying, how many days has the body you found been dead? "
"The corpse is very serious, at least more than a month old." Several people crawled out of the pile of corpses. Ziying was very good at judging the time of death.
"Two human skins, two pairs of hands and feet, three sets of internal organs... exactly the same as what we know." Bai Ying's expression was indescribably troubled, and he murmured: "Did the Moon Worship Cult just have a new leader?
Styx is dead? Are they coming out again? What will happen this time?"
Three or four questions in a row fully reflected his surprise and difficulty in accepting.
Ziying said: "The prince and I judged the same. After two years of hiding, it is estimated that the strength of the Moon Worship Sect will be more difficult than before. As far as we know, there are only two possibilities for the Moon Worship Sect to change its leader..."
Hongying continued: "One is that the original leader dies and the throne is passed to the new leader, and the other is that someone within the cult takes the initiative to challenge the leader, defeats him, and ascends to the position of leader." He slightly frowned: "The River Styx has arrived.
Now he is only fifty years old at most, so he should not die so early. I think the second possibility is more likely."
"No matter what the situation is, the important thing is, is the emperor involved with the Moon Worship Cult? Are they going to deal with us together?" Bai Ying frowned, with a troubled expression on his face: "If so, things will be in trouble."
"Probably not." Hong Ying thought about it carefully and shook his head: "For one thing, no one knows about our matter regarding the Moon Worship Cult. The secret guards who died in their hands have no identity marks. Maybe even they themselves
I can’t figure out who is targeting them. Secondly, as far as I know, someone was able to imitate and extract a drug that is very similar to Yuesheng half a year ago. We have not learned Yuesheng before, so although this time the poison is
It has the same fragrance as Yuesheng, but we can't be sure whether the assassin used it."
What Hong Ying said was very logical and sound, but it felt a bit far-fetched. For example, is the Moon Worship Sect really so useless? The number of secret guards sent by Qi Mo is not small, and they really don’t know who they are.
Targeting them behind the scenes?
All of a sudden, things seem to be getting more and more complicated. It's fine if other people are involved, but if you mess with a lunatic like the Moon Worship Cult, things will be in trouble.
Hong Ying and others all turned to Qi Mo. Qi Mo was silent for a while before he said: "Choose a few skilled people and rush to the southern region overnight to investigate the identities of the corpses, and also ask if there is anything unusual in the surrounding area.
Happened. Ziying, I’ll leave this matter to you, remember, I’m just asking, not testing!”
Ziying stood up and nodded heavily: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Qi Mo nodded slightly: "As for other matters. If the enemy does not move, I will not move; if the enemy moves, I will move first! Regarding intelligence, Red Eagle and White Eagle will go all out!"
"I will definitely live up to the prince's expectations!" Red Eagle and White Eagle stood up at the same time and said categorically.
Bai Ying, Red Ying, and Zi Ying went to arrange their own work, while Black Ying became fellow patients with Huang Ying and Zhong Qingye. Qi Mo left Jingyang City for dozens of days, although he excused himself to go out because of feeling unwell.
After recuperating, there were still a lot of rumors and rumors, and a lot of big and small things had accumulated, which led to him hurriedly getting into work as soon as he came back, becoming a workaholic.
In comparison, Feng Jin could be said to be very leisurely and at ease. He would read and drink tea when he had nothing to do. When he felt interested, he would run to check Black Eagle and White Eagle's pulse and administer medicine. Time flew by like this.
On the morning of March 11, Zhong Qingye finally opened her eyes for the first time on the sixth day after taking the medicine. However, before Qi Mo came back from going out, she fell asleep again and did not wake up again until that night.
