Salang stood on the street corner and looked around. Even though he had changed his appearance, he still felt uneasy.
The changes in Yangzi City suddenly appeared after Lin Ye left the city to meet Emperor Jade.
This change happened so fast that even though Mr. Qian was prepared before this, he still fell behind.
Sui Qing asked him to help keep an eye on Ning Weimo. He knew that this was actually not a difficult task.
Everyone in the city knew that Ning Weimo was seriously injured and was recuperating at home. Everyone could have imagined that when Emperor Jade arrived in Yangzicheng, he would definitely come to visit him personally.
So, who would get into trouble at this time?
Even Tuoba Lie's people don't need to provoke the emperor's anger at this time. Until Tuoba Lie doesn't openly surround Guzhu with a large army, Ning Weimo's life or death is not important.
But Ning Weimo was just gone.
At that time, Salang was outside the Jinglue Mansion. A man wearing a bamboo hat and holding a knife dodged in the distance, and Salang followed him subconsciously.
He thought it was Sui Qing who came to see him for something. Sui Qingqi's personality always led him to a relatively secluded place before talking.
But after following him all the way, the man who looked very much like Sui Qingqu didn't stop. Only then did Salang realize that something was wrong.
He immediately turned back and sneaked into the Governor's Mansion only to see corpses all over the ground.
He rushed to the backyard, where many people also died.
Only there is no Ning Weimo.
Salang followed the traces left on the ground and chased him out of the backyard, tracing all the way, but found nothing.
At this point, he knew that Master Qian's preparations seemed to have been targeted.
He had just come out of the teahouse next to him a moment ago.
The shopkeeper in the teahouse belonged to Sui Qingqu. When he pretended to buy tea, he asked where Sui Qingqu was.
The shopkeeper told him that just an hour ago, Sui Qing took people out of the city to meet Lin Ye's team.
Salang breathed a sigh of relief. Since Sui Qingqu left the city, it meant that there was no bigger incident in the city.
He waited at the intersection for a moment to make sure no one was following him, and then hurried back to the small courtyard.
Less than half an hour after he left, a few guests came to the teahouse. They looked like foreigners and were tired of traveling.
Soon after several people entered the inn, there was an exclamation in the inn.
Many people rushed out of the door, their faces pale with fear. Some people ran too fast and tripped and fell miserably.
Soon after, the foreigners came out of the teahouse and put their daggers into their backpacks.
The shopkeeper was chopped to death in the teahouse, with his limbs and head chopped off.
Salang didn't know.
Outside the small courtyard, Salang stopped again and looked around. Even though he was sure that no one was following him, he still did not go to the main entrance and walked around again before jumping in from the backyard.
Vaguely, he smelled a bit of blood in his nose, and Sarang's expression changed.
He hurried to the front yard and saw Master Qian sitting on the recliner. The recliner was still shaking slightly. Salang breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm shocked. Why don't you even make a sound? I could hear you snoring when you were asleep before."
Salang said as he walked: "Something happened. Ning Weimo was taken away, and I didn't follow him."
As he walked closer, his expression changed as he spoke.
He saw Master Qian's face.
Pale, without a trace of blood.
There were finger marks on Mr. Qian's neck, as if someone had pinched him.
"As expected, the old man has many descendants. You are not his disciple. Judging from your age, are you his disciple?"
The man in black robe came out of the main room, his voice seemed a bit muffled.
He was holding a bowl of noodles in his left hand and a pair of chopsticks in his hand, still chewing in his mouth.
"Sorry, I got a little hungry while waiting for you, so I took it upon myself to make a bowl of noodles at your place."
The man in black robe sat down on the steps and gestured to Salang with the noodle bowl.
"Are you hungry? You should be hungry too, after all, you have been chasing me for so long."
Sarang's eyes were already red, so red that he looked like an enraged and almost crazy beast.
"You should calm down."
The man in black robe raised his head and looked at Salang. At this moment, the furious Salang's eyes changed.
"Tuoba Lie!"
Salang roared out the name.
The man in black robe asked: "Are you scared?"
Salang suddenly pushed forward with his hands, and two balls of white mist spurted out from his sleeves.
The man in black robe casually waved his hand as if to ward off mosquitoes, his sleeves fluttered, and the thick white mist was dispersed.
"How much have you learned from him in using poison?"
The man in black robe didn't care at all and even took two more bites of noodles.
Salang took out a piccolo from his sleeve, put it to his mouth and played it. The sound was very special.
But no matter how the flute played, there was no reaction at all in the courtyard.
The man in black robe waved, and several people wearing the same black robe as him appeared, but their figures were different.
They threw the things they were carrying on the ground, including poisonous snakes that had been torn into two pieces and bags containing the corpses of poisonous insects.
The man in black robe put the noodle bowl aside, looked at Salang and said, "Before I kill you, I am curious about something."
Salang's face was twitching.
He took a deep breath, then strode towards the man in black robe.
The man in black robe frowned slightly, feeling helpless and sympathetic.
A moment later, the man in black robe walked to the door and turned around and ordered: "Don't damage their bodies too much. They are all people of reverence and faith and deserve respect."
The man in black in the yard bowed and saluted.
Two days later.
Lin Ye stood at the intersection and looked at the stall that had obviously been empty for a few days.
He stepped forward, obviously not far, but every step was as heavy as being tied to a mountain.
He walked to the door of the small courtyard and raised his hand to knock on the door, but his hand stopped half an inch away from the door panel.
The door was not closed, and through the crack, he saw someone hanging inside.
With a bang, the door panel was knocked away by Lin Ye, and he rushed in directly.
Mr. Qian was still sitting on the recliner, already cold and hard.
Salang was hung from a tree in the yard, head down, and his feet were tied and hung on a tree branch.
A very thin bamboo tube was inserted into Salang's neck, and the blood under him was almost solidified at this time.
Lin Ye stood there, his face pale.
Master Qian is dead, and so is Salang.
The blood stains under Sarang's body looked a little dark, but that was not a sign of poisoning, just because it had been a long time.
Salang's shirt was unbuttoned, and there were several words written in blood on his body.
Tuoba Lie is here...
Lin Ye's eyes were wide open, and bloodshot eyes instantly filled them.
Before Salang died, he left these words on his body with his own blood.
But obviously, he wanted to write more than these few words, but he had lost the strength and could not write more.
A very slight sound appeared behind Lin Ye, and Lin Ye slowly turned around.
Sui Qing went to stand about ten feet behind him, covering her face and only showing a pair of eyes, but Lin Ye saw that those eyes were also red.
After a breath, Sui Qing turned around and left, disappearing in a flash.
Lin Ye slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on Salang's body again.
That face became particularly ugly because it had been standing upside down for too long, and the entire face was blue and black.
Lin Ye stepped over, put down Salang's body, and placed it next to Master Qian's body.
The honest and honest face of the past, which looked even more sincere when he smiled, appeared in Lin Ye's mind.
[My name is Sarang, please remember my name, we will meet again in the future.]
[Master Qian left something for you in Beiting Mountain, you can find it yourself. 】
[I am also my mother-in-law’s child, older than you. My mother-in-law said that after having a youngest child, you will appear stronger than I thought, because my mother-in-law said in her letter that you are very thin.]
【You go your own way, brothers will watch you.】
Lin Ye looked at Master Qian again. The Master Qian in his mind and the Master Qian in front of him could not overlap under any circumstances.
[Master Qian, I know it’s presumptuous of me to come to you, but the lame uncle and the blind uncle trust you, so I know I can come to you.]
[Little guy, I leave you the Medicine Book. This thing can cure all the poisons in the world. No matter how powerful the poison is, half a page is enough.]
[Everything has been given to you, but you have to understand it yourself. Some inheritances require more than just teaching, you also have to understand them.]
An hour later, Yangzicheng Palace.
An imperial guard hurriedly arrived outside the dormitory, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, something happened in the city."
The emperor glanced at the door and said, "Say."
The Ouchi guard said in a somewhat anxious tone: "General Lin Ye, wearing sackcloth and mourning, is walking through the streets and alleys with two corpses, heading out of the city."
The emperor frowned slightly.
Gu Xiujin lowered his voice beside the emperor and said: "I will go and remind the general now. The general has to wear sackcloth and wear filial piety before the saint comes to Yangzi. It is really not good. If someone takes advantage of it...
"
The emperor waved his hand: "No need."
Gu Xiujin looked at the emperor and said, "Sage, this matter has indeed gone too far. If the adults accompanying you come and talk to your majesty, there won't be much room for change. I rush over now to remind the general before it's too late."
The emperor said: "I say, no need."
Gu Xiujin leaned over: "I...understand."
After a while, the emperor said in a very soft voice: "He was sending off his elders wearing sackcloth and mourning. He didn't say anything when he picked me up, so what happened when he picked me up..."
The emperor looked at Gu Xiujin and said, "I'm going to take a look. Aren't you afraid that the people accompanying you will find fault with this matter? Send an edict and accompany the officials to come and take a look with me."
Gu Xiujin responded and quickly sent someone to convey the order.
When he came back, the emperor was already about to leave.
Suddenly, the accompanying officials, as well as the big shots in Yangzi City, were all in a state of confusion.
For General Lin Ye to go out carrying a coffin in mourning clothes at this time, it seems a bit excessive no matter how you say it.
How unlucky does it seem to not talk about matters of etiquette and just say that the emperor has just arrived and is like this?
When the emperor knew about it, many people also knew about it.
Especially the big shots in Yangzi City, they are already waiting to see Lin Ye's fate.
If the emperor doesn't even pursue this kind of thing, then...
The emperor just doesn't pursue it.
The emperor said.
"My general failed to take good care of his family because he had to welcome me. He was seeing off his elders. He failed to maintain both loyalty and filial piety."
"Then, I will accompany my general to send his elders off. I will help him make up for the filial piety he has not fulfilled."
"Whoever thinks it's unlucky or inappropriate doesn't need to come with me. I won't embarrass you, but I'm going to go. If anyone tries to stop me or embarrasses me, you'd better think twice."
Having said that, a civil servant immediately lifted his robe and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette, Your Majesty."
The emperor stepped forward and said, "Slap him in the mouth until I come back."
The rest of them didn't dare to say anything anymore.
