Pour the glass

Chapter 5. Life and death are impermanent

The imperial guard camp is located to the west of the Lin'an imperial city, and you can always hear the sound of the imperial guards practicing in it on weekdays, which is very solemn.

Captain Shangguan Yun and his subordinates had just returned to the Imperial Guard Camp, before they could sit down, Liu Ping, the current captain of the Imperial Guard Camp, came to the lobby of the Imperial Guard Camp to ask about today's murder case.

"Today's case, His Majesty attaches great importance to it. What have you found?"

Shangguan Yun shook his head and said: "Those bugs seem to have disappeared and disappeared in the outskirts of the city. The subordinates are incompetent, I'm afraid the clues to this case will be broken."

"Broken? You have to think about it clearly. If the clues to the murder case are broken, the Holy Majesty will not be able to explain it. The next one will be your neck!" After Liu Duwei finished speaking viciously, he glanced at the few people, "I Within three days..."

"Not good! Not good!"

"What's wrong?" Captain Liu's words were hastily interrupted, and he yelled impatiently to the guard battalion soldier who suddenly ran into the lobby to report.

"My lord...look..." Xiaobing finished speaking in a trembling voice, and as soon as he stepped aside, everyone in the lobby realized that he was followed by four generals from Anle Palace, striding in with two big wooden boxes in their hands.

"Where is Liu Ping?" Jia Jiang suddenly shouted in a cold voice.

Liu Duwei and his subordinates knelt down on the ground in amazement, "The officer is here!"

The generals gave each other a wink, opened two big wooden boxes suddenly, and dumped them on Duwei Liu, only to see two bloody heads rolled on Duwei Liu. I couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"what!"

Ziyuan on the side was also quite frightened, and comforted herself secretly, thinking: "It's just two heads, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just don't look at it, just don't look at it."

"Liu Ping, you are not strict in your rule, and you let your subordinates send the witches of the Jin Kingdom to the Anle Palace, so you know that you almost killed Jiu Qiansui?" Everyone's head is sent here just to warn you, so that you can deal with the matter later, otherwise, the third head must be yours!"

After finishing speaking, the four masters threw the big wooden box aside, spat, and strode out of the lobby of the imperial guard camp.

"It's Ah Yun!" Shangguan Yun recognized that one of the heads was the captain of the Imperial Guard who was sent back today to capture Ziyuan, and he couldn't help being shocked.

Ziyuan was even more shocked, he clearly sent the injured woman to King Anle for him today, how could he lose his life for no reason?But suddenly he thought about it again, and instantly understood why the injured woman would ask for help in the wild alone?If that woman is really a guest of King An Le, she will definitely not appear alone in the wild!Moreover, the worms disappeared without a trace as soon as they entered the wild forest, and then the woman's cry for help appeared. The only explanation was that this woman was the owner of the worms!

Damn!

Ziyuan's heart suddenly turned cold, so she also became the woman's accomplice, and this time she really caused a big disaster!

"Xiaoqi, didn't you carry this girl today?" Shangguanyun suddenly realized, and when he saw the woman's head's eyebrows and eyes clearly, he couldn't help shouting sharply, "No wonder we couldn't find a bug with you today, I'm afraid You must have colluded with this witch a long time ago! Someone, take down Qi Ziyuan!"

"My lord, this subordinate was wronged!" Ziyuan couldn't argue with a hundred words, but now, she is afraid that she will be the next one to lose her life.

If my sister knew, she still couldn't get rid of the responsibility, and if she was implicated in the murder case to death, my sister would definitely die of grief.

Ziyuan was in a turmoil, now that the woman is dead, how can she prove her innocence?

"Enough!" Captain Liu suddenly said, stood up, and waved to everyone to let Zi Yuan go, "King An Le didn't tie this witch to the temple face today, just because he didn't want to make things worse. So, today's murder case will come to an end." This is the end."

Shangguan Yun said unconvinced: "My lord, this matter is clearly related to Qi Ziyuan, how can we keep him?"

Liu Duwei suddenly grabbed Shangguan Yun's lapel, and said angrily: "I will report this matter to my lord, saying that the witch and the captain of the Imperial Guard Tong Yun died together, the murder case has been solved, and all the bugs have been burned. Shangguan Yun , this matter is over, listen to me clearly, Jiu Qiansui did not declare this matter today, but sold a favor to our imperial guard camp, if we do not know what to do and condemn Qi Ziyuan to death, the imperial guards I'm afraid that the matter of collusion between the camp and the witches will continue to be entangled endlessly. The witches dare to assassinate Jiu Qiansui. Since a small captain dares to collude with the witches, there must be someone behind him. In the end, it is not your captain Chief Shangguan Yun is Liu Ping, the Captain of the Imperial Guard!"

Shangguan Yun suddenly understood what Liu Duwei meant, so he could only grit his teeth secretly and let Ziyuan go.

"The Holy Majesty has always relied heavily on nine thousand years old. If this matter is not settled sooner, the Holy Majesty ordered a thorough investigation. I am afraid that none of you who are related to this woman today will survive! Everyone has only one head, you all listen to me, The murder case is over today!" Captain Liu's icy eyes finally fell on Ziyuan's face, "As for Qi Ziyuan, you take a month's leave and don't show up in the guard camp for the time being, so as not to attract people's tongue and cause trouble. Come trouble."

Ziyuan nodded again and again, "Thank you sir!"

Liu Duwei said coldly: "Why don't you leave soon?"

Ziyuan had no choice but to cup her fists and bow, and walked out of the lobby quickly. She knew that although this little life was recovered today, the days to come would be difficult.

Shangguan Yun watched Ziyuan run away, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, is this the way to take advantage of this kid?"

Liu Duwei said in a deep voice: "This person must not stay, but he should not die in the open."

Shangguan Yun nodded clearly, understanding Liu Duwei's meaning.

The sun was shining brightly, but Lin'an Street was still bustling.

"Tata...Tata...Tata..."

Su Zhexue circled Lin'an City in a carriage, and finally returned to Zui Jinxiao, but saw that Zui Jinxiao's gate was slightly closed, and posted a post on the vermilion gate, explaining that the proprietor has something to do today, so he will take a rest for a day.

Su Zhexue quickly got down from the carriage and walked to the gate with a puzzled face, "It was clearly lively when we left, why did it become like this when we came back?"

"Girl, you are back, mother is still looking for you everywhere!" The little maid saw Su Zhexue through the gap in the door, and quickly opened the door to welcome Su Zhexue in.

"What happened?" Su Zhexue couldn't help asking.

The little maid shook her head and said: "After the girl left today, a noble young master came here. As soon as the mother saw it, she immediately ordered us to persuade the guests to leave, saying that she wanted to take a rest for a day, and asked us to find you back quickly. "

"Oh?" Su Zhexue was even more puzzled, who is this noble young man who would make the bustard so nervous?Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately followed the little maid to the backyard.

On the small pavilion, as soon as the old bustard saw Su Zhexue, she waved her hand to signal the thugs in the courtyard to guard the front hall, "Zhexue, come up quickly."

Su Zhexue nodded, signaled the little maid to stay, and walked quickly to the small pavilion.

"Mom?" Su Zhexue had just stepped into the small pavilion, and after only calling out, she felt that the atmosphere was a little dignified. In a blink of an eye, she saw a young man in purple sitting at the desk, drinking tea with a fan.

Su Zhexue took a closer look at this young man, his shoulders were slightly thinner, his face was pale, he seemed to be suffering from a secret illness or a serious injury that had not yet healed.

The old bustard hurriedly beckoned, "Zhexue, come here quickly, I have seen the Lord."

"My lord?" Su Zhexue was stunned for a moment. In her memory, the lord should be a luxurious woman who always wears a golden mask and hides behind the shady curtain. How could it be this purple-clothed gentleman in front of her?

The young man in purple closed his fan, glanced coldly at Su Zhexue's face, and said weakly, "Su Zhexue, you don't even recognize me?"

The voice was still the same, and Su Zhexue knelt down to salute in fright.

"Zhexue has met the Lord!"

The young man in purple smiled coldly, and his voice sank, as if he had changed his voice, it was no longer the female voice just now, "You are strange, why did I come here alone from Dajin?"

Su Zhexue shook her head hastily, "Zhexue doesn't dare to speculate, the Lord has his reasons."

The young man in purple said indifferently: "It has been three years since you came to An'an. This day has passed day by day, and I have not made any progress in my major affairs. I don't have so much time to waste for you!"

The bustard quickly knelt down, "It's the subordinates who are incompetent!"

"You are indeed incompetent!" The young man in purple shook his head and finished, gritted his teeth, "I never thought that my cousin would strike so quickly and kill the left corner of this chess game first. If I don't act again, all the previous arrangements will be turned into others." fruit."

"Is Liu Ping in the imperial guard camp doing anything unusual recently?" After the young man in purple clothes finished speaking, he asked as if he suddenly remembered something.

The old bustard hurriedly said: "Everything is as usual."

"Is everything as usual?" The purple clothed boy asked coldly.

The old bustard thought about it, nodded and said, "That's true."

"If everything is as usual, why have I been on this journey without incident, but when I stepped into Yunguo, there were constant killers along the way, and several personal dead servants disappeared at night, cough cough." The young man in purple said excitedly, but couldn't help it He let out a series of violent coughs, making his already pale face even paler.

"This..." The bustard couldn't answer.

The young man in purple took a breather, and his eyes fell on Su Zhexue's face coolly, "You really don't know that I came to Yunguo?"

Su Zhexue and the old bustard nodded silently. If they had known that the Lord was coming to Yunguo, why wouldn't they go to meet him?

The young man in purple pondered for a long time, and said: "Liu Ping is really courageous, or maybe his cousin paid him much more than me, I already told him to protect me along the way to meet you in Laian, I didn't expect him to Not even the slightest bit of wind was leaked to you.”

Su Zhexue's face changed drastically, "How dare this person betray the Lord, why don't you let me go..."

"People who betray me cannot live, but even if they die, they will not be so comfortable." The young man in purple motioned them to get up, and took out a small purple box from his arms, "This little bug is enough to deal with Liu Ping. "As she said that, she opened the small purple box, hissed a strange whistle, and the cyan bug in the box fluttered its wings, tilted its head listlessly, and stuck to the bottom of the box motionless.

Both Su Zhexue and the old bustard were people who had seen the power of this kind of bug, and now seeing the movement of the bug in this box, they couldn't help being secretly surprised.

"The male worm is dead, and the female worm can't live for three days. It seems that King An Le is not a trustworthy person—cousin is really ruthless when he makes a move!" The young man in purple gritted his teeth and stood up. A silent woman, helplessly put the small purple box back into her bosom, secretly said in her heart, "Fortunately, after listening to A Yu's words today, I didn't rush to Anle Palace to ask for help, but... A Yu explored the way first, I'm afraid I can’t come back. I’m at the end of this chess game..."
