Assassin 3 Wind and Live
Chapter 10 Corpse Thief
When Fang Ye received the report from the spies, he immediately felt that something was weird, so he came to report to Murong Li.
Qi Zhikan and Qiu Zhen's mausoleum showed signs of intrusion. The people sent opened the tomb and found that only the coffin was left, but the coffin inside was gone.
The mouth of Gongsun Qian's body was filled with rice milk, and there were ashes of incense paper and cinnabar around the coffin, which seemed to have been performed not long ago.During the war between Tianxuan and Jusu, Gongsun Qian's body was stolen by Gen Mochi. After Gen Mochi's death, Murong Li recovered his body and buried it again. At that time, he didn't find anything unusual.
Nothing wrong with Gen Mochi's cemetery was found.
When Murong Li got the news, his face was gloomy and terrible. The rice milk sealing his throat was to curse the deceased so that he could not speak after death, and he would not be able to confess his grievances after seeing the King of Hades.Gongsun Qian is a modest gentleman, he behaves openly and aboveboard, and rarely makes enemies with others. Who is so vicious and cast such a poisonous curse on him.But Qi Zhikan died for the people of a city, and Qiu Zhen died for the country. Who stole their bodies?What exactly is the intention?The deaths of these three people are more or less related to Murong Li. Due to the situation, he has no regrets in his heart, but he is somewhat guilty or regretful. Seeing their end like this, he was furious in his heart, and secretly vowed to investigate. The truth came out.
"Your Majesty, what use is a human corpse? Why would someone do such a thing?"
"Yes, when a person dies, the body will not be at peace." Murong Li closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "Destroying a person's body will greatly damage the morality, this person must have a lot of plans. You take someone to take the priest to Tianxuan, and you must find him." Find a way to resolve it. Others don’t need to come back first, to find out who did it.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Tianquan army will return to the country tomorrow, what should we do now?"
Once Tianquan's army returns to the country, they will meet Xiao Ran, how can Tianquan and other ministers believe that he has good intentions to control the royal city.Although Zhiming left Xingming as a token, but now that he has disappeared in Yaoguang territory, it will only make people more suspicious if he takes it out.After much deliberation, I really can't think of a proper way.
"After I write a letter of credence, I will send envoys to catch up with their team and go to Tianquan with them."
"A letter may not be enough to win people's trust."
"There's no other way. You can't just do nothing."
"Yes." Fang Ye was about to step back, but when he saw Murong Li's expression turned pale, he couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so you should take good care of yourself."
"Understood." Murong Li agreed.
Fang Ye knew that he was being perfunctory, but he had no choice but to back down.
In Yuzhao Mountain, on this day, Zidui was abnormally quieter than the previous few days, no longer noisy.
"Who are you waiting for?" Zhi Ming asked the question in his heart for many days.
"Yeah, it should be here in two days."
"What exactly do you want to do?" Zhi Ming couldn't help asking even though he knew that he might not answer.
"I lost an important thing in Zhongyuan, and I came here specially to pick it up, and I also wanted to find an old friend to talk about the past. There are quite a lot of things, but I wasted a lot of time here."
"Have you been to Zhongyuan? Are there any old friends here?" Zhi Ming asked in surprise.
"The offspring of the ancestors are also considered relatives, since they are here, they can move around."
At this time, a person came in outside and reported to Zidui: "My lord, Ah Min and the others are back."
Hearing this, Zidui brushed the straw off his clothes and walked out of the cave.
Zhi Ming also followed, and from a distance, he saw eight men in black robes carefully placing two large wooden boxes on the ground. The boxes seemed to be extremely heavy, and when they hit the ground, they could almost hear the sound of sand and gravel cracking.Zhi Ming took a closer look, only to find that it was not a wooden box, but two coffins.
Zidui walked to the side of the coffin, took out the broken sword from before, and knocked on the lid of one of the coffins with the scabbard.
Zhi Ming suddenly felt terrified, and the moment the scabbard touched the coffin, he had a strong sense of foreboding, as if the dead inside the coffin were about to burst out of the coffin the next moment.
"Okay..." Zidui turned around, knocked on the other coffin, frowned, and seemed to find something unusual: "Whose coffin is this?"
"General Tianxuan Qiu Zhen." A man in black stepped forward and replied.
"No...this is not Qiu Zhen..." Zidui frowned, heaved a long breath, and suddenly the sword in his hand slashed across the throat of the man in black in front of him with lightning speed, and said nonchalantly, "Forget it, let's go Just use it."
Zhiming was taken aback by the fact that he took a human life in an instant, and what surprised him even more was that the dagger in Zidui's hand was said to have been reforged. The blade of the sword disappeared without leaving any trace. When he came back to his senses, he found that his back was wet and cold, and he was covered in cold sweat.
Zi Dui smiled: "What's wrong with the Lord Zhiming?"
"Whose coffin is this?"
"That is General Tianji Qi Zhikan, this... I don't know who it belongs to, my people made a mistake." Zi Dui suddenly frowned and pointed at the coffin, and told another man in black: "This is the coffin." Find a proper place to place the coffin first, and then put it back in place after everything is done."
"Why did you bring Qi Zhikan's coffin here?" Zhi Ming has never met Qi Zhikan, but he has heard a lot about his deeds.
"Nature is of great use."
"You humiliate people's corpses so casually, aren't you afraid of harming your morality?"
"Your Majesty Zhiming is too worried. I invited this person here. How can I say it's an insult to someone's body? Besides, I'm related to the ancestor of this General Qi. I came here after thousands of miles to find relatives. If I have something to ask, he must not It will be my fault."
"Ancestral relatives? How many relatives did your ancestors have with Zhongyuan?" Zhiming asked in surprise, Qi Zhikan was from the country of Tianji, Tianji and Liuli were thousands of miles away, and he had never heard of Liuli and Zhongyuan's relationship before.Besides, just now Zidui said that the old man who came to Zhongyuan to reminisce about the old days was also related to his ancestors.
"My maternal ancestor's ancestors used to be a big clan in Zhongyuan, but they were separated due to the war, and one of them was lost in Liuli." Zidui looked at the sky, and said to Zhiming: "Master Zhiming, after a while, I will wait for you." People are coming."
"So?" Zhi Ming asked before, but Zi Dui avoided answering it at that time, but for some reason he suddenly brought it up at this moment.
"That person made a deal with me, and the Lord Zhiming is one of the bargaining chips."
"who?"
"I am afraid that the Lord Zhiming and that person do not know each other. Wait for a while, and it should be here soon. Please be patient. If the Lord Zhiming is bored, how about I tell the Lord Zhiming a story? "
Seeing that Zhiming didn't object, Zidui started talking on his own.
"When Liuli was defeated in the war, he chose my brother as a hostage. He was pure and kind. I was worried that he would not be able to deal with those tigers, leopards and wolves, so I went for him. But I didn't expect that the persecution of my relatives was a hundred times more cruel than that of the enemy country. In order to save my life, and to gain more support for my future enthronement, I went to Zhongyuan in the name of a study tour, and by the way, helped me find my lost things."
Zhiming had been wondering why Ziyu came to Zhongyuan during the raging war, and it was only at this time that his confusion was resolved.It's a pity that Ziyu escaped the enemy's conspiracy and escaped the persecution of his relatives, but because of him he lost his life. If he can return to the country and take the throne, he will definitely be a wise king. What a pity...
"After my brother came to Zhongyuan, he sent me a lot of Zhongyuan history books and story books. I remember such a story. A long time ago, there was a tribe whose leader was very cruel and the people were oppressed. With yin and yang eyes, they can also summon ghosts, so they were regarded by the leader as an ominous person and planned to eradicate them. Originally, the family could escape, but other people in the clan who could not stand the oppression asked them for help, asking them to help summon ghosts to deal with the leader. They agreed So the other members of the clan rebelled together and killed the leader. Later, the tribe had a new leader. The family thought they could finally live a stable life, but they didn't expect that the massacre of the new leader came. This kind of thing It seems to be a common occurrence in Zhongyuan, it seems that the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden, isn't it?"
"The most ruthless is the emperor's family, and it has been like this since ancient times." Zhiming is the only son, born as the only heir, and has never personally experienced the battle for the throne, but he has read a lot of story books in those years when he waited to die. There are many stories about the royal family. Throughout the dynasties, there is no emperor who has not had the blood of his relatives on his hands, and those important officials who have made great contributions to the dragon often have a bad end.Humans are not grass and trees, so no one can be ruthless, but how cruel the battle for the throne is, a little carelessness is a dead end, some people are for the supreme position, while some people just want to survive.As for those important ministers, some of them were indeed disobedient because of their high meritorious service, while others probably died of the king's suspicion.Zhiming recalled it carefully, he should have read most of the folk tales, but he didn't seem to have read the story told by Zidui.
While Zhiming was thinking, a person came in and reported: "My lord, sir has arrived."
"Master Zhiming, it's been a pleasure talking with you these few days. I haven't talked so much with anyone for many years."
Zhiming showed doubts, and Zidui saw Zhiming's puzzlement, and explained: "I have been a hostage in the enemy's country for many years, so I must always be cautious, lest accidentally misfortune comes out of my mouth and I lose my life."
Zhi Ming frowned, seeing how he spoke and acted very casually these days, and he was outspoken, and Mi Xin, who was not rumored in the royal family, also said it casually, he really didn't seem like a cautious person.
"Master Zhiming is wondering why I have said so much to you these days?" Zidui didn't wait for Zhiming to reply after asking, he narrowed his eyes and smiled and approached Zhiming and said, "Because, I know, Zhiming The lord will definitely keep a secret for me, won't he?"
Zhi Ming immediately backed away vigilantly, but he was too late to escape. He saw Zidui's hand quickly landed on top of his head, and then he felt a shock in his head and lost consciousness.
Qi Zhikan and Qiu Zhen's mausoleum showed signs of intrusion. The people sent opened the tomb and found that only the coffin was left, but the coffin inside was gone.
