"Sure enough, all men are liars." - Said Lord Emperor Zun.
344. Mr. Menke
In other words.
Now that Chen Anning has won the bet, from now on, Xiao Nianqing owes him a condition.
But when Xiao Nianqing asked Chen Anning what she planned to do with this condition, Chen Anning's answer was a trick.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Chen Anning smiled slightly: "I'll talk about it when I want to use this condition."
Xiao Nianqing had said such words before.
Xiao Nianqing just snorted for Chen Anning's behavior of being so secretive, then slowly got up, and said to Chen Anning: "I'll leave for a while, I should be back soon."
"Leave?" Chen Anning frowned slightly: "Where are you going?"
"Go to the weaving shop."
Xiao Nianqing's declared position has always been related to the textile shop, and it is only a simple job like counting accounts.
Chen Anning raised her head and glanced at Xiao Nianqing.
If such words were put in the past, Chen Anning would have believed them.
After all, it is now the middle of May, and Xiao Nianqing's body is no longer disturbed by the cold, so it is very reasonable to go to the textile shop to help solve the accounting problem once in a while.
now...
Chen Anning began to wonder if her daughter-in-law was the Demon Emperor, no matter how she thought about it, she would not really work in the textile shop.
but--
He didn't choose to expose Xiao Nianqing, but pretended to be completely ignorant: "Okay, no problem, I'll cook at home and wait for you to come back."
"Ah."
Xiao Nianqing nodded slightly, and then rectified a bit before preparing to leave the mansion.
She had checked the information of Bijian Villa in Yu Yanyan's house just now, and she also learned a lot of internal information about Bijian Villa.
Since Pei Qin, the owner of Bijian Villa, has certain suspicions, she, the emperor, naturally wants to come to the scene in person and have a good "chat" with Pei Qin.
The distance between Bijian Villa and Baihua City is not too far, she has asked Yu Yanyan to plan the itinerary in advance, and with the footsteps of the two of them, they can walk back and forth in half a day.
Now that we leave Hundred Flowers City, we can not only have dinner when we come back, but also have another serious business in the evening.
……
however.
It was after Xiao Nianqing arrived at the place agreed with Yu Yanyan that she saw Yu Yanyan with a serious face.
At this moment, the military master Li Yuan was leaning against the gray wall, standing alone in the dark shadow that the sun could not reach, his seemingly delicate face showed a bit of indescribable chill.
Seemingly sensing Xiao Nianqing's arrival, Yu Yanyan turned her head to meet Xiao Nianqing's eyes.
"What happened?" Xiao Nianqing immediately sensed something was wrong.
"New news just received."
A wisp of black smoke emitted from Yu Yanyan's fingertips, and the black smoke gradually turned into a paper charm.
It was a communication tool between her and her exclusive spy.
Not long ago, Yu Yanyan received a letter from her spies and learned a shocking news.
"Pei Qin is dead."
……
……
Even if no one would think of it.
There will be such a big event in Bijian Villa.
As the famous sword village in the world, as one of the 36 halls of Wanmo Liyuan, the Hall of Slaughtering Souls.
As the owner of Bijian Villa, one of the honorary Tianzunwei.
Pei Qin shouldn't have died so easily.
However, this incident was beyond everyone's imagination.
Although according to the follow-up information, Bijian Villa was not greatly affected, that is, the retreat cave where Pei Qin was located was crushed to death by some tyrannical force.
In addition to the Dongfu where the owner is located, the surrounding area of the Dongfu was also damaged to some extent, and the number of casualties was not too many.
But no matter what, the death of the owner of the villa is a great blow to one side.
Pei Qin's death was too sudden.
This is true for Bi Jian Villa, and it is also true for Xiao Nianqing.
"It happened when we were going to look for him." Located in Yu Yanyan's house, Xiao Nianqing said solemnly, "It's a bit too coincidental."
Yu Yanyan nodded lightly: "After all, even if it is my spy, it is impossible to integrate all the information of Bijian Villa without a trace—perhaps Pei Qin has already discovered that I have sent someone to Bijian Villa Extract information."
"So he committed suicide in fear of crime?"
Xiao Nianqing frowned, unable to accept this argument.
"Indeed, after being caught, his fate is definitely worse than death." Yu Yanyan stretched out her hand to caress the folding fan: "However, there is still something unreasonable about this."
Yu Yanyan was silent for a while, and then analyzed: "If he is really inseparable from the last siege incident, then he can find an opportunity to escape from Bijian Villa immediately after discovering traces of information leakage."
"It's a bit too heroic to commit suicide directly."
Xiao Nianqing heard some subtext from Yu Yanyan's words.
She looked deeply at Yu Yanyan: "According to what you said, there is a big problem with his death."
"Currently, Bijian Villa claims to the outside world that the owner of the villa has become obsessed in order to break through the realm. What is the actual situation, I think we have to find some people to ask."
"At least we have to figure out whether he committed suicide in fear of crime, or died at the hands of others."
Maybe someone was keenly aware of some signs, and prepared to act preemptively, killing Pei Qin who knew a lot of information in advance, so as to prevent him from revealing too much information.
In any case, they had to go see the people related to Pei Qin.
……
……
Bi Jian Villa.
The arrival of Xiao Nianqing and others was not a surprise to everyone in Bijian Villa.
After all, the owner Pei Qin was also one of Xiao Nianqing's Heavenly Guards, and now that the guards died, it would be strange if the Lord Emperor didn't come in person.
It's just that the atmosphere in the huge Bijian Villa is a bit too oppressive and heavy. After Xiao Nianqing and Yu Yanyan stepped into it, those silent servants made the atmosphere even more bitter.
After cross-examination one after another, no surprising conclusions were drawn in the end.
The description of Pei Qin by most people in Bijian Villa is very simple——
"The owner has been in retreat recently."
Come to think of it.
After all, they are only the lowest level demon cultivators in the Hall of Soul Slaughter, and they never even get too close to the cave where Pei Qin retreats.
They just heard that Pei Qin said that he was going to retreat, and they believed that Pei Qin had been in retreat since then, and they didn't know the specific situation at all.
Therefore, it is pointless to continue to question these servants.
"Let's go to Pei Qin's cave first."
Looking at such a heavy atmosphere, Yu Yanyan was a little too lazy to stay here, but decided to go to Pei Qin's cave first.
This long-lost veteran of Wanmo Liyuan, I don't know how his death will be.
……
Facts have proved that Pei Qin's death is not so unusual.
His pale body was still sitting cross-legged, leaning against the wall, his eyes closed, black blood was flowing from his seven orifices, and the blood and meridians all over his body showed faint signs of festering and necrosis.
Judging from his expression, Pei Qin was not frightened too much before his death, and it can even be said that he behaved quite peacefully.
There was not a single wound on the whole body. When Xiao Nianqing went to check Pei Qin's spirit, he found that his spirit had dissipated, and now the corpse in front of the two of them was just an empty shell.
"He died quite thoroughly." Yu Yanyan sighed: "There is not even a scum left of the soul. If he really committed suicide, then I admire him."
To be able to directly crush one's own soul to the point that there is no scum left... Such courage and will are not something ordinary people can possess.
Xiao Nian gave Yu Yanyan a blank look: "Did you see any problems?"
"Judging from the current situation, the possibility of suicide is not small."
Yu Yanyan said something casually, then stretched out her hand and tore off the sleeves on both sides of Pei Qin's jacket.
Pale arms appeared in the sight of the two of them, and Yu Yanyan glanced at Pei Qin's arms on both sides.
Smooth without leaving any marks.
Xiao Nianqing saw her intentions: "It has been more than a month since the siege of Baihua City. With his state, the traces of repairing the broken arm should have faded long ago."
"It's not without reason."
Yu Yanyan nodded slightly, and immediately followed the black blood, casting her gaze on the floor.
The pitch-black blood symbolizes the dispersal of the spirit and the death of a powerful demon cultivator.
Yu Yanyan didn't say anything, just yawned, then turned and left: "Where is the Book Collection Pavilion in Bijian Villa?"
Xiao Nianqing paused: "What are you doing in Zangshu Pavilion?"
Yu Yanyan replied: "Go and see if there are outsiders who can steal the step of the Great Wilderness."
……
Yu Yanyan had thought before that there seemed to be something wrong with the magic cultivator who appeared in the siege.
The reason is that he has been using the Great Wilderness Clutch Step since the moment he appeared.
