When the devil

There is no light in the prison, and it is all illuminated by burning torches on the walls.

Yu Wanfeng gave Wei Ling a golden waist card, saying that it was given by Gu Xiao. With this thing, it would be convenient to enter and leave the palace. Wei Ling held the belt card in his hand to read, with dragon and phoenix carvings on both sides, and "Sheng Zhao" engraved in the middle Two words, when the guards on both sides saw this waist card, they all knelt down on the ground, and did not dare to lift their heads before the sound.

"This thing is valuable." Xia Zhou whispered in Wei Ling's ear, "In the future, when I run out of money, I will rely on it to get rich."

Wei Ling: "Promise."

The three of them walked all the way to the depths, passed through a layer of enchantment, and opened two thick iron doors. The narrow passage was very damp, as if the uneven floors could ooze water under their feet.

Yu Lanfeng said that members of the Snow Wolf Army were locked in a deep prison, but when he took Wei Ling and Xia Zhou to the prison, all he saw were corpses neatly arranged on the ground.

"He died last night." Yu Wanfeng said very calmly, with a deliberate surprise in his words.Ping went to the surrounding guards, and opened the cell door with his own hands: "There are assassins among the guards, who wanted to destroy the corpse after the murder, and Yuan Chun was on duty last night, so they didn't succeed."

"The perpetrator was not caught?" Wei Ling looked around the corpse for a while, but did not see any injuries.

Yu Wanfeng was also helpless: "The other party knows Yuan Chun like the back of his hand, and lost a few pieces of gold on the way to escape, that girl went after the gold."

Xia Zhou laughed: "This girl doesn't know how to settle accounts, but that person can throw gold in exchange for his life, which proves that his life is worth more than gold."

Yu Wanfeng thought for a while, and said: "This is a good way to find a prisoner. There are not many people whose life is more expensive than gold."

Wei Ling walked up to one of the corpses, knelt down, lightly touched the head of that person with her fingertips, and turned to the side: "Xiamao, smell it, do these people look like demons?"

Xia Zhou: "No."

"Witcher?"

"It's not like that either." On the way here, he probably heard the reason of the incident, and even mocked Yu Wanfeng who stayed like a dog for a long time and couldn't tell the difference between a monster and a human.

But the corpses were really placed in front of him, Xia Zhou couldn't smell any monsters from them.

Wei Ling raised his head: "Gaotie, how do you distinguish the real bodies of the 'Snow Wolf Army' who were eaten by the frog demon?"

Yu Wanfeng said: "They were eaten so mutilated that they couldn't be distinguished by their appearance. I didn't know who was who, but according to the badge I carried with me, the one in the frog's stomach is real, and the one lying here is fake."

Wei Ling pondered: "Is it possible that the ones lying here are the real Snow Wolf Army, and the ones being eaten are the people pretending to be them."

Yu Wanfeng said happily: "What do you mean, someone killed the person who tried to murder His Majesty first? Is that person still cooperating with evil spirits?"

Xia Zhou: "No."

He pointed at the corpse in front of Wei Ling, and lightly hooked his fingers, a small burst of black flames burned along the skin near the neck of the corpse, and then turned up like a scorched scroll, the flesh and blood turned into dust bit by bit, It fell to the ground.

Both Wei Ling and Yu Wanfeng were shocked, because there was another face hidden under the burned skin!The layer of human skin covering his face was burned to give off a strong burnt smell, which made Wei Ling frowned.

"It's amazing." Yu Wanfeng turned his head to look at Xia Zhou: "The face is not stitched by witchcraft, but made by very exquisite medical skills... How did you notice it?"

"Smell." Xia Zhou said: "Most of the Snow Wolf Army is mortal, and they don't practice the magic of immortality. These people just died yesterday, but there is a stench that seems to be absent."

"It's not just medical skills." Wei Ling turned to another corpse and touched the neck. Although there was no difference in the skin, there were obvious bumps when he touched it. He took off the Wangchuan sword and walked along the neck. Slowly cut at the beginning——

The skin quickly turned up, and the smell of rotting corpses permeated the air. Wei Ling loosened the sword, and the skin covered it again.

He said: "The medicine is applied under the skin, which can suppress the decay and smell. Only Fairy Magnolia can achieve this level."

This is really terrible. Someone cut off the face of the Snow Wolf Army and sewed it on the face of an outsider. Not only that, but also used a panacea to completely smooth the interface, so that the face belonging to "others" can remain intact. In a festering state, it is used by outsiders.

"Who in the palace has superb medical skills and has a lot of contacts with Fairy Yulan?" Wei Ling asked Yu Wanfeng.

Yu Wanfeng tilted his head, looked at the ceiling, and then at the corpse on the ground. He seemed to be racking his brains for thinking, and he let out a low sound of "um, woo". After a while, he seemed to finally come up with something Lai: "You don't need to ask me that, the Immortal Venerable. Compared to me, that person is probably more familiar with you."

There are not many people in the palace who are familiar with Wei Ling, and even fewer are skilled in medicine.Fairy Yulan is one, but her possibility has been ruled out, followed by Yuan Chun, but Yuan Chun chased someone yesterday... It doesn't fit Yu Lanfeng's sentence "I know you better."

One only possibility appeared in Wei Ling's mind.

He was even surprised that even this possibility was the only one.

"Could it be Doctor Xue...?"

When he was imprisoned in Wannian Palace, Imperial Physician Xue was the person Gu Xiao sent to treat him. Besides, Imperial Physician Xue had another identity. Wei Ling only found out later that he was Xue Qingqing's father.

"Coincidental!" Yu Wanfeng put his hands together, clapped his hands, and then his eyes widened, as if he had suddenly realized: "Last night, when the Taili Court was on duty in the Baihua Building, a little girl pretended to be a servant and sneaked around. At that time, some enthusiastic people found out and promptly notified other Dharma attendants to take her down..."

"... "

"Enthusiastic masses" Xia Zhou smiled without saying a word.

"Physician Xue entrusted someone to find me today, saying that girl is from his sect." Yu Wanfeng shook his robe: "If the Immortal is interested, why don't you come with me to find out."

【Yudu Baifu】

The White Mansion is in the south of Yudu, very close to the school grounds, the main entrance is opposite to the official road, and there are many pedestrians coming and going.Bai Lie spent most of his time with troops stationed at the border, and rarely stayed in Yudu. Liu Ying couldn't bear the loneliness, so she would take Bai Li to live with her mother's house. Except for a few guards, there were almost no people in the mansion.

Ever since Bai Lie returned to Yudu, the rumors about the Snow Wolf Army had pushed him to the forefront. Liu Ying didn't want to cause trouble, so the carriage deliberately went around the side door when entering the mansion.

Today, she went to the palace to do some business and grabbed some medicine. When she entered the door, she heard the very nice sound of the flute. When she looked up, she saw Shen Feihuan sitting on the roof playing the flute, and Bai Li was also on the roof, holding her chin and concentrating. listen.

Shen Feihuan is the only person in the Bai Mansion who is in the mood to play with Bai Li. To be precise, he is very good at making children happy. I don't know what to play, see you today, the relationship has become familiar.

"Mother!"

When Liu Ying was surprised, Bai Li saw her, a sweet and lovely smile instantly appeared on her face, which was flushed from the cold, and she jumped up, even though she was quick and light, she quickly jumped in front of Liu Ying.

Liu Ying patted his head, and looked up to see Shen Feihuan also jumped off the roof, holding a black flute with tassels on the tail, dangling with his fingertips.

"Madam." Shen Feihuan's eyes were sharp, and he saw the medicinal materials she was carrying at a glance: "Leave this kind of thing to me, how can you tire Madam."

Liu Ying has nothing against Shen Feihuan, she has heard some miscellaneous rumors, but rumors are rumors after all.You Wang Gu Yuan said that Shen Feihuan was brought back by Bai Lie, thanks to his care along the way, otherwise Bai Lie's injury would continue to deteriorate. In other words, what Gu Yuan meant was that Shen Feihuan had a kindness for Bai Lie.Liu Ying didn't want to treat her benefactor badly in her heart, and Bai Lie didn't seem to have much rejection of Shen Feihuan, so she thought, maybe something unspeakable was hidden in it, so naturally she didn't ask any more questions.

"I went to get some medicine." She looked at Shen Feihuan's lovely face, and smiled gently: "But you, why are you outside in the cold weather, let's go, let's go into the house, I will let Aunt Feng stew it tonight." Pigeon soup, drinking it will definitely keep you warm."

After Liu Ying finished speaking, she walked inside, Shen Feihuan followed behind her, looked at the medicinal materials and said, "Madam, give me the medicine, and I'll make it. You've just come back, so let's rest first."

Liu Ying said: "Leave this kind of matter to the people in the house. Mr. Shen is a guest, and he caused you so much trouble along the way. Yesterday was really hasty, and I didn't have time to treat you well. If Mr. Shen has no other place to go , treat the White Mansion as your own home."

Shen Feihuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her body with her fists in her hands: "The general owes Shen a life-saving grace. As long as you don't dislike it, this life belongs to the general."

Liu Ying smiled: "Young Master Shen is too far-fetched."

When she said this, a servant girl happened to come forward, and Liu Ying handed her the medicinal materials in her hand, and then went to the main hall.

Shen Feihuan's eyes kept following the medicinal herbs wrapped in the cloth bag. It was obvious that the servants could do the taking of the medicine. Since Liu Ying went there in person, it proved that the doctor who took the medicine was by no means an ordinary medical clinic.

"Madam's medicine, did you get it from the palace?" Shen Feihuan stretched out his hand to block the maid who was about to retreat.

Liu Ying was about to lower her body to straighten Bai Li's collar. After listening to Shen Feihuan's question, she raised her head slightly: "Well, King You sent a message this morning, saying that he has prepared healing medicine at the imperial pharmacy."

Shen Feihuan narrowed her eyes slightly, the imperial pharmacy...could it be the Imperial Medical Office?King You is deliberately bypassing the Taili Academy and the elixir, and intends to treat Bai Lie in the most common way?

He said: "Ma'am, I know a little about herbal medicine. It is better to leave the general's injury to a demon."

Liu Ying heard a seriousness from Shen Feihuan's mouth, as if the herb could not be boiled by him because he felt sorry for him. She didn't understand it for a while, and was even surprised that such a thing as boiling medicine could make Shen Feihuan look so serious.

"Yinger."

At this moment, she heard someone calling, followed the sound, and looked at Bai Lie who was wearing a cloak and walking towards this side.

It was the first time since he returned to Yudu that he got out of bed. His jet-black hair was tied casually and fell down his tall back. His clothes were clean and tidy. Lost resolve.

"Daddy." Bai Li held onto her worriedly, and touched Bai Lie's big hand with her small hand: "Does your arm still hurt?"

Bai Lie moved his right arm, his fingertips regained some touch, he squatted down and looked at Bai Li, "It doesn't hurt."

"I want to practice swordsmanship with Daddy." Bai Li blinked: "This time, I will definitely be able to match more than three moves with Daddy!"

Bai Lie laughed: "A Li is so powerful? Why don't you try it now?"

"No." Liu Ying pulled Bai Li by the collar and dragged him back, "We'll practice after your father recovers from his injury."

Bai Li pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "If Daddy is well, what if, what if, again, he has to leave again."

He is also a frank child, he says what he thinks in his heart, regardless of whether it is right or not.Bai Lie sighed, and was about to say that he had almost recovered, when he saw Shen Feihuan walking from the side: "Xiao Li, brother will practice with you later."

Bai Li blinked: "Brother can use a sword?"

Bai Lie glanced at Shen Feihuan and remained silent.

"You can choose the gun, sword, halberd, or halberd." Shen Feihuan was full of confidence: "Your father taught me, once you beat me, let alone three moves against your father, thirty moves will be fine."

Bai Li listened, and immediately got motivated.Bai Lie smiled wryly when he heard this, and said to Shen Feihuan: "Thirty strokes, the tone is not small."

Shen Feihuan hehe: "The general can observe it later—but I have to boil the medicine first."

Bai Li said: "I'll accompany you to boil medicine!"

"No." Bai Lie blocked it suddenly, but Bai Li didn't stop and touched Bai Lie's arm.

Just now Bai Lie said something a little anxiously, Bai Li was frightened, thinking that she had done something wrong, she looked up at her father pitifully.

Shen Feihuan reacted quickly, knowing what Bai Lie was jealous of, he smiled to smooth things over, and took a step back: "Another day, another day."

After saying that, he turned and left.
