Ruhui pushed Yi Qingchen and hurried to Yu Shuai's tent, there were already many disciples from aristocratic families around, Ruhui pushed Yi Qingchen through the crowd with great difficulty, and saw the infinite monk standing there in the middle of the crowd, He didn't move, just closed his eyes and recited the Buddhist scriptures silently, just like the last time he came to the Nanxing military camp in Yaozhou to beg for beans, but this time, the speed of turning the beads with his fingers seemed to be faster than before.

Yu Mu was instructing his guards to look for someone on the road. Seeing this, Yi Qingchen was silent for a moment, and finally chose to ask Monk Wuliang, "Master Wuliang, did Douzi not go back?"

The Buddha beads stopped suddenly, Wuliang opened his eyes and said, "No..."

Yi Qingchen suddenly felt uneasy, "We are clearly watching her go back..." But the possibility of accidents on the way cannot be ruled out. After all, there are not a few people who hate the Marrow Sect during the southward march. With Dou Zi's physical condition, he would definitely be unable to resist. The more Yi Qingchen thought about it, the more anxious he became.

The monk Wuliang said again, "Amitabha, the two corpse men who accompanied Lord Douzi are the personal guards carefully selected by Lord Yeluo, and they are beyond the reach of ordinary people. On par."

Ruhui hurriedly said, "Who said something will happen to Douzi? Don't talk nonsense, Crow's mouth, bah bah bah, the person hasn't found it yet, this forest is so big, maybe he got lost!"

Monk Wuliang's eyes darkened, "I hope so..."

The Southward Marching Army sent about 500 people to search nearby, and Yi Qingchen and Ruhui were also among them. However, after searching for two hours, they searched the periphery of the forest, but they couldn't find any trace of Douzi. With less than an hour left, Ruhui pushed Yi Qingchen and stopped at the entrance of the forest, looking at the deep road into the forest, with a worried expression on his face.

It was from walking on this road that everything began to change. The south marching army retreated, Langzhi Village was destroyed, and the Marrow Sect won for the time being. Seeing it, you will regret why you dragged Hua Chenchi into the forest in the first place. If you hadn't chosen to take this road, would the situation be different today?

Ruhui didn't know what he was thinking, but his hands on the wheelchair couldn't help shaking, and finally even Yi Qingchen couldn't help but come back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ruhui opened his eyes wide, as if he had thought of something extraordinary, "I remembered, that thing on the bean half ring, that point..."

Yi Qingchen was puzzled, "What point?"

Ruhui explained, "I didn't have those two grooves on the half ring originally designed, but after it was repaired by someone, there were two more grooves. The one embedded in the groove is not a decoration, but a Yanjia It’s a very small Yanjia! It’s the little Yanjia that I used to convey my word to you, Young Master, in front of the Tibetan medicine building.”

Yi Qingchen had some impressions of this, and then said, "This kind of armor has a wide range of functions. As long as you learn how to make it, you can make it into various shapes for hiding. It can carry all kinds of things, letters, Pills, poison... can even be used to eavesdrop on other people's conversations..."

Yi Qingchen was shocked and was speechless for a while.

The bushes beside them moved, and the two became vigilant. They saw a huge gray wolf walking out of it, with a pair of faint green eyes staring at Yi Qingchen. Yi Qingchen looked at it for a moment, and suddenly recognized it. Knowing that this is the spirit beast that accompanied the wolf god that day, he calmed down and asked tentatively, "Your Excellency is here to tell you something important?"

Gray Wolf didn't make a sound, but turned around silently and walked towards the forest. Every few steps, he turned his head to look at the two of them. Guessing that Gray Wolf might be able to lead them to find Douzi, he said eloquently, "Follow and have a look..."

The two followed closely, going round and round, and after walking for about half an hour, they finally found the traces of fighting left on the surrounding trees and ground. On the ground, black blood was splashed on the branches and leaves by the roadside, exuding a faint stench. Seeing this situation, Yi Qingchen could roughly guess what he would see in the end, but when he walked through the bushes, he really saw the beans. When the corpse was hung on the branch, he still couldn't help clenching his teeth, feeling so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.

It was clearly a little girl who had never done any evil and had no ability to resist, but her hands and feet were broken, her neck was also broken, her cervical vertebrae poked out from under her skin, her head was drooping, her eyes were gone, and only her eyes were left. There are two deep blood holes, the mouth is wide open, and the inside is filled with a huge stone, the corner of the mouth has been completely cracked... More, Yi Qingchen can't stand it anymore, he can only Close your eyes silently.

Just a broken bone already hurts a lot. Yi Qingchen didn't dare to think about how much torture this little girl suffered before she died. She could only barely restrain the trembling of her voice and said, "Go and call them here." Let's just say that Douzi's body was found..."

Ruhui covered his mouth and cried so hard that he couldn't speak, Wen Yan had no choice but to run back desperately, Yi Qingchen heard the footsteps gradually receding, but his teeth were clenched tighter...

I don't know how long it took before Monk Wuliang came, and so did Shen Sheng and Shen Yi. It seemed that everyone had come, and everyone gasped after seeing Douzi's body. Some people are crying, some people are distressed, and some people are laughing.

As for the reason for laughing, Yi Qingchen is also very clear, because they don't know Douzi, and they just think that it is very satisfying for a man who has done a lot of evil to be tortured and killed.

Yi Qingchen didn't say anything, just silently watched Monk Wuliang put Douzi's body down, and wrapped it in cassock layer by layer. It was clear that she usually looked like a big girl, but after wrapping it, it was only the size of a luggage.

After an unknown period of silence, someone in the crowd finally asked, "It's clearly the envoy who came to discuss peace, who would kill it?"

No one came up with it, and if the meeting was silent, Yi Qingchen roughly had a guess in his heart, but there was no evidence, the evidence had been destroyed by that person, not even the half ring was left, it can be seen that the person It must have been deliberate for a long time, right?If he doesn't want the two sides to make peace, what can he get?

Yi Qingchen couldn't figure it out, he could only watch Wuliang holding Douzi's corpse in his arms, the sadness in his clear eyes seemed to overflow, but he still held back on his face, he didn't intend to take revenge on anyone present, Seems to be leaving.Yi Qingchen couldn't bear to look at him, and after deliberating for a long time, he suddenly called Wuliang and said two words to him.

"Sun Ming."

Clearly there is no evidence, but Yi Qingchen can be sure that Douzi's death must be done by this person, whether Monk Wuliang believes it or not, I want him to know this possibility.

Hearing the words, Monk Wuliang paused for a while, turned around, and Tongyi Qingchen bowed, and said indifferently, "Thank you, Lord Yi..." He straightened up, and said, "Donor Beans It's gone, it's useless to be sad, but because of her death, Yeluo's benefactor may come to find you to vent, so I cherish myself."

Wuliang's back gradually moved away, and someone beside him began to discuss in a low voice, "Hey, he just said that Yeluo would come to take revenge?"

"Is the person really killed by our people?"

"Obviously there will be a peace war soon, why did this happen? I don't want to have a war, I want to go back alive..."

Yi Qingchen sighed silently, and suddenly, he seemed to understand the purpose of Mr. Dugu asking those words in front of the tent earlier. For some people in the Food Marrow Sect, beans are spiritual comfort, as long as she is still alive, Then someone can keep the only kindness left in her heart. Once she dies, that last ray of kindness will also disappear with her death.

Moreover, the murderer of this matter is difficult to identify, and it is inevitable to give an excuse to start a war for those who do not want to fight in the Marrow Sect...

The more Yi Qingchen thought about it, the more he felt it was both funny and bitter, but in the end he still had to fight, why did Hua Shenchi, that idiot, go to Juexian Valley instead of him?

Now that Douzi was dead, most of the signed peace contract would not be counted. Everyone returned to the camp angrily and got into their tents. Only Ruhui was still pushing the wheelchair forward slowly in the twilight.

The night wind blew, and the fallen leaves rolled on the ground. If he would walk very slowly, Yi Qingchen didn't deliberately urge him, but only sighed silently. When he looked up again, at the end of the road, Mr. Dugu was waiting in his tent forward.

The sleeves of the clothes are fluttering, and the folding fans are swaying, as if they have been waiting for a long time.

Ruhui sent Yi Qingchen to Mr. Dugu, and left with a sad expression. Yi Qingchen watched Ruhui go away, then sighed helplessly, and said lightly, "Mr. Are you mad?"

Mr. Dugu smiled without saying a word, and Yi Qingchen said again, "The murderer didn't leave any evidence, so from the perspective of Shimaijiao, most of us did it. According to Yeluo's temperament, she will definitely not let it go... ..."

Mr. Dugu laughed and said, "I will strengthen the defense force."

Yi Qingchen was a little puzzled, "Sir, you..." After a moment of silence, not knowing whether he should say it, Mr. Dugu said, "But it's okay." Yi Qingchen said bluntly, "According to Mr. This ability, I think no matter how things develop in the future, it should be within the expectations of the husband, from allowing the south marching camp to be destroyed, the wolf toe village was destroyed, to watching Douzi die... I also know that the husband is suffering from You can't do it easily with your identity, but can you really not have a trace of compassion?"

Mr. Dugu shook the folding fan, only chuckled, and did not answer. Yi Qingchen waited for a long while, but when he couldn't get Mr. Dugu's answer, his mood became more complicated, and he said, "Sir, let me tell you a deduction of mine. , you don’t need to tell me whether it will happen, just listen to it, if it’s absurd, it’s okay to laugh.”

Mr. Dugu said, "Please tell me."

Yi Qingchen took a deep breath, and said slowly, "In the lies that Shen Chi and you wove, and after the war, those who want to be resurrected by the Marrow Sect can be revived. Huanxi, I wish I could fight the war as soon as possible, but the national teacher responded with hostility. In addition, Douzi's half ring was repaired by him, and the two extra Yanjia had so many functions, I wondered if it would be possible. In fact, the national teacher has already penetrated our lies..."

"And it can be seen that there is a problem with the half ring. In the entire Food Marrow Sect, there is only the national teacher himself. If someone from Yanzong did it, there is no need to take away the half ring. Instead, it can be used as a blame for the national teacher. evidence... so no matter how I think, I feel that the murderer who killed Douzi is the national teacher."

After a pause, he continued, "If my conjecture is true, the national teacher should use Douzi's death to instigate the guardians to join the battle, but as long as he doesn't say that Shen Chi can only resurrect one person, the marrow sect will It doesn't count as being completely against us... I think with his temperament, he will not say it easily. After all, there is only one chance to be resurrected. He should wish that everyone will die in battle, leaving only If Shen Chi is alone, if the guardians around him know about it, civil war may break out first, so before Shen Chi uses the resurrection method, his safety in the valley should still be guaranteed."

"The biggest problem we will face right now is the power within the Marrow Sect to avenge Dou Zi, but if they can be made to doubt the national teacher, this power will not be something to fear, and it may turn into our strength. …”

After Yi Qingchen finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Mr. Dugu, and heard the latter's faint smile, "The thinking is very clear, and the inference is reasonable. Variables always exist."

Yi Qingchen said helplessly, "If it's Yeluo and the others who come here later, let me do the explaining... I can feel more at ease if I explain it myself."

Mr. Dugu nodded, "Yes."

Yi Qingchen's mind is very clear, but his mood is becoming more and more confused. If he can successfully dissuade Yeluo from taking revenge and make her believe that the national teacher is the murderer, the southward march will not suffer too much loss for the time being, and it will be able to last until the imperial reinforcements arrive. On that day, it could also lead to civil strife in the Food Marrow Sect.But if it really came to this point, and the national teacher was questioned and besieged by the Sorcerer Cultists, would he be forced to reveal Hua Shenchi's deception?If the members of the Marrow Cult knew they had been deceived, would they still adopt a peaceful attitude towards the southward march?

No matter how much you rack your brains, this move is already a dead end.

That being the case, we can only take one step at a time in the future.

Yi Qingchen took a deep breath, calmed down, and turned to Mr. Dugu, "I have finished what I want to say, I don't know what you want to say to me, sir, waiting here?"

Mr. Dugu shook his folding fan and said with a smile, "I didn't come here specifically to talk to Young Master, but this place is a bit far from the Dugu family's camp, since Miss Yeluo will come over soon, I will stay here so as not to walk back and forth. "

Yi Qingchen never expected this to be the reason, and was a little surprised at the moment, even wanting to save the time of walking back and forth, how early will Yeluo come?

Just about to open his mouth to ask Mr. Dugu, the next moment, there was a loud crash sound behind him, Yi Qingchen turned his head, and saw a row of trees falling along the direction of the camp, raising waves of dust, people in the tent heard The voices fled to the open space one after another, discussing in disbelief, "Is the Marrow Sect coming for revenge?"

"So soon?"

"But we didn't kill him, did we?"

"Don't be stupid, people from the Food Marrow Sect won't reason with you!"

The sound of discussion continuously poured into Yi Qingchen's ears. Yi Qingchen thought for a while, then turned to Mr. Dugu, "How many troops have you deployed to resist?"

Mr. Dugu chuckled and said, "A thousand soldiers have been deployed, but whether they can resist or not is unknown."

Yi Qingchen opened his mouth, unable to answer Mr. Dugu's words.

A thousand soldiers is already a large number for the current southward march. If even this can't stop Yeluo, there will really be no need to fight future battles.

Thinking of this, I wanted to go to the front line to take a look, but after thinking about it, my hands and feet were broken, and if I went, it would drag others down, so I might as well not go.
