Weicheng snow

Another row of trees fell, and the movement was louder than before. In the night, the sound of fighting was endless, and there were dense swarms of moths flying out of the forest, but it only lasted for less than half an hour. Landed on the ground, everything returned to calm, Mr. Dugu just now closed the folding fan, tapped on the palm of his hand, and said in a low voice, "Here we come."

Suddenly, a crack opened in the canopy of the tree, the leaves rustled, and a strange wind blew in the forest. The crowd was still discussing the reason for this strange scene, when two black shadows came out. It fell in the air, and the warm liquid splashed everywhere. Some people thought it was rain, but when they touched it, they found that there was a pool of bloody red lying on the palm.

The black shadow fell to the ground with a thud, and fell into the crowd. The crowd hurriedly stepped aside, for fear of being attacked or implicated, but Mr. Dugu pushed Yi Qingchen into the circle, and after entering the circle, he could clearly see It was identified that the two shadows were the corpses of the two little commanders of the Murong family army.

Yi Qingchen observed the color of the blood on the corpse. It didn't turn black, so it should have not turned in time. When he turned his head again, Yeluo was already standing on the tree crown directly opposite, holding the branch with one hand and clenched a fist with the other. His eyes were wide open, his face was expressionless, and his cheeks were splashed with bright red.

Yi Qingchen looked around, and asked Yeluo suspiciously, "Are you alone?"

Yeluo replied lightly, "The faceless girl I brought along with you all died together with your bastard soldiers. As for the guards beside me, they are all shrunken turtles. They only know how to cry and cry, holding back uncomfortably. Have you ever been so useless? Even with the so-called 'peace and war' agreement, I will not let go of the murderer who killed Douzi, and everyone who sheltered the murderer..."

Yi Qingchen thought for a while, then argued, "Douzi was not killed by our people."

Yeluo said "Oh?", "Do you have evidence?" It was obviously a normal conversation, but Yi Qingchen felt that no matter what he said, Yeluo's expression was extremely terrifying, not ferocious, but more like wanting to kill Do everything you can to show mercy and allow the dying person to say a few more words.

Yi Qingchen told Yeluo about the half-ring of Yanjia, and Yeluo spread her palms towards Yi Qingchen, begging, "So, what about the physical evidence?"

Yi Qingchen couldn't give it, "It should have been destroyed by the national teacher."

Yeluo laughed loudly, gradually retracted her outstretched hand, opened her eyes again, and said viciously, "Yi Baixue, you still want to lie to me? You have lied to us so many times, I have no trust in you at all, If it weren't for your kindness to Douzi, I would have torn you to pieces long ago, but I didn't expect that even these were illusions made by you, a hypocritical villain. You used Douzi to trick us into negotiating peace, but you didn't want to Dou Zi overheard your secret unintentionally, and was murdered by you..."

"Yi Baixue, Yi Baixue, what did Douzi do wrong? She is deaf, she is dumb, she is blind, but she has never harmed anyone, only others bully her. She likes you, so she trusts you. When the original peace was negotiated, I was planning to come with her, but do you know what she wrote? She said that you are in this camp, so she will definitely come back safely..."

Yi Qingchen was horrified, he never thought that he already had such weight in Douzi's heart, that he was worthy of her unconditional trust.

Seeing Yi Qingchen's sudden change of expression, Yeluo laughed a few more times, "Are you ashamed? It's too late... Even if you didn't kill Douzi, it would only be someone from your southward march." ..." His eyes swept across the crowd, "Who is it..."

Yi Qingchen caught Ye Luo's movement, but couldn't make a move, so he hurriedly reminded everyone, "Get out of the way!" But it was too late, and most people had no time to dodge.Yeluo rushed into the crowd, clawing, clawing, and screaming one after another. In the blink of an eye, someone had already been bitten to pieces.

In the next second, someone's throat was slit, blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground.

Everything happened too fast, the scene gradually got out of control, the crowd fled like birds and beasts, and the elders with higher status in the families of various sects realized that this was not a trivial matter in ordinary times, it was left to the younger generation to solve by themselves Impossible, they all drew their swords and rushed up to deal with Yeluo together, so that there were no more casualties just now.

Shen Sheng and Shen Yi ordered all Lingshan disciples to evacuate to the safe zone, but Ruhui stood there without moving, Shen Yi wanted to persuade him, but a white figure flew out from between himself and Ruhui, Shen Yi was shocked Yu Zai didn't care about other things, and hurried to help the person who was knocked to the ground and spitting blood, while urgently stopping the bleeding, he called out, "Elder Yuan Huo, luck, hold on!"

The disciples of Jianzong who had fled halfway back stopped when they heard the sound, and couldn't help turning their heads to look at the situation on Shen Yi's side. Elder Yuan Huo was already regarded as a very prestigious elder of the older generation of Jianzong, and he would be defeated. After the battle, is Yeluo's strength already terrifying?Even Yi Qingchen and Shen Sheng were shocked.

Without Yuan Huo's restraint, the other elders gradually began to be unable to keep up with Yeluo's speed. The latter took advantage of the gap and suffered a lot of injuries. Shen Sheng was still struggling, but Ruying was about to charge Going forward to help, Shen Sheng saw this, hurriedly stopped Ruying, and scolded, "You are a prince, you can't get hurt, go back!"

Ruying said coldly, "Why do you care about status in such a situation? There is only the enemy and ourselves. If the enemy does not die, then we die."

Hearing the words, Shen Sheng gritted his teeth, pulled out the crack on the hilt of the sword, pushed Ruying, drew his sword and said, "I'm going, you step back, and protect Ayi and Mr. Yi."

I don't know whether Shen Sheng's swordsmanship is really superb to a certain level, or he understands Ye Luo's ways too well, or some other reason, his joining has replaced the original vacant position of Elder Yuan Huo, and has become a pressured elder. The last straw for Yeluo's death, Yeluo gradually lost the upper hand, lost her advantage, took a few blows, and had to retreat to the crown of the tree for the time being.

Shen Sheng didn't get much benefit here, and the seniors who made the move still had too many worries, for fear of giving their lives here, so they reserved all their moves, but Yeluo's momentum was clearly determined to give up their lives, Barefooted people are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Once they come and go, Yeluo's strength is even more supernatural, which hurts the morale of the marching south.

Taking advantage of the gap between the two parties' breathing, Yi Qingchen wanted to continue explaining to Yeluo, but before he opened his mouth, Ruhui rushed forward, looked up at Yeluo on the treetop without fear, and said loudly, "Douzi is really not We killed, you want evidence, I will give you!"

Yi Qingchen was horrified, evidence?Do they have such a thing?

Hearing this, Ye Luo restrained her arrogance a little, "What evidence?"

Ruohui took out a stack of blueprints from his treasure bag, flipped through them, and took out the design blueprints he made for the half ring, and held it up high, regardless of whether Yeluo could see it clearly at this distance , only explained, "Douzi's half ring was designed by me. This is the complete design drawing. You can see clearly that in my design drawing, the groove does not exist on the half ring. You are a person very close to Douzi. Right? During this period of time, you should also notice that there are two more things on her half ring, and that thing is the key to killing Douzi."

Swallowing his saliva, he said again, "I don't know if you can understand, but since your people stole the damaged half-ring when they were in Yaozhou, then this person should have seen the original half-ring , as long as you find the person who stole the half ring and ask, you can prove that the two extra things were not there until the beans were brought back to the Valley of Absolute Strings, and they were added by the people in the valley when they were repairing."

"Those two things are actually two very small yan armors, which can be used to carry explosives, poisons, and even eavesdrop on conversations. Before Dou Zi died, there was another such yan armor on the half ring, and the other I don’t know where one went, but after Douzi’s death, the half ring disappeared. It’s obvious that someone wanted to destroy the evidence, so if you think about it carefully, who repaired the half ring? People must be the ones who want to harm Douzi!"

After hearing this, Yeluo jumped down from the tree, went straight to Ruhui and grabbed the blueprint, stared at it for a long time, then closed her eyes and thought about it, as if recalling whether there were these two on the semi-ring. The existence of Yanjia reminded him if he would, "Recall carefully, when you were in Juexian Valley, have you ever seen that kind of stone-colored beetle-like thing smaller than a fingernail? , still moving..."

Yeluo opened her eyes, looked at the blueprint, then raised her eyes to Ruhui, she was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "If it's true, as you said, it was done by the person who repaired Yanjia, as he The people of the Marrow Sect can get back to life after negotiating peace, so why would he kill Dou Zi and deliberately provoke a war? Wouldn’t the gain outweigh the loss?”

However, Shen Sheng said for no reason, "Even Yeluo has learned to use 'the gains outweigh the losses'..."

Yeluo glared at Shen Sheng fiercely, "Slim, shut up, do you believe that your aunt broke your baby and made you die?"

Shen Sheng trembled, closed his mouth and did not speak.

Ruohui thought about the question Yeluo asked for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Yi Qingchen with pleading eyes.

Yi Qingchen was also very confused at first, but just now, after listening to Ruhui's words, he instantly understood the root cause of the national teacher's actions - the national teacher used Yanjia to overhear Hua Shenchi's plan, and knew The method of bringing the dead back to life can only resurrect one person, so I want to monopolize it.

But he couldn't say it. Once he said it, with Yeluo's temper, he might do something terrible.After pondering for a moment, I had to settle for the next best thing, and proposed another possibility, "Although I only lived in the valley for three days, I found that the relationship between the national teacher and the Dharma protector next to you is not harmonious. He seems to have his own Pursuit and ideas, never communicated with you, and once wanted to attack Douzi, take blood to water his armor..."

"Since he has had an unruly intention towards Douzi long ago, and the first time he made a move, there will be a second time. Douzi went to the south marching camp to negotiate a peace with only two guards. It was a good time to strike. , and you can also blame me and march south by the way. If I were the national teacher, I would not give up this opportunity. Instead of wasting your time doubting me here, why not go back to the Longevity Palace and take a look at that woman's Yanjia... ..”

Ruhui also added, "Speaking of... because the condition of Douzi was really miserable at that time, I didn't dare to look carefully at first, but when Master Wuliang put down Douzi later, I noticed that Douzi's wrists, neck And there are bleeding wounds on the ankles..."

After hearing this, Yeluo gritted her teeth, crumpled up the blueprint and threw it under her feet, then jumped up the treetops and disappeared.

Shen Sheng stared at the direction where Yeluo was leaving for a long time, then clenched the hilt of his sword a little more, then turned his head and asked Yi Qingchen, "Is what the young master said true or not?"

Yi Qingchen was also a little entangled, "Actually, I just wanted to say some ambiguous words to delay Yeluo, but I didn't want to talk about it, but I accidentally discovered another possibility..." The more I thought about it The more ridiculous it is, it turns out that there are so many reasons for the national teacher to attack Douzi, and the former has been able to hold back for so many years, it really is very determined, but just to be cautious, Yi Qingchen will still confirm After a while, "You said earlier that you saw a bloodletting hole on the corpse, is that true?"

Ruhui sadly picked up the crumpled drawing, spread it out carefully, smoothed it out, put it back into his sleeve, and then nodded.

"Shen Sheng, come here and have a look..." Shen Yi's anxious voice sounded suddenly, and the attention of several people was pulled back. At that time, Shen Yi was still kneeling on the ground and healing Yuan Huo's wound. , Yuan Huo was unconscious with his eyes closed, and the sound of breathing became heavy and heavy, as if something was stuck in his chest and lungs.

The disciples of Jianzong gathered around one after another, begging Lingshan to save their elders. Shen Sheng got closer, and Shen Yi opened Yuan Huo's clothes. There were already four extremely deep bloodstains on the body, the bloodstains were drawn obliquely, and it seemed that the ribs had been cut off, Shen Yi carefully confirmed it, and said to Shen Sheng again, "Surgery... ..his ribs are piercing his heart and lungs... quick!"

Yuan Huo was quickly taken back to the camp by Lingshan disciples for treatment, while the remaining Jianzong disciples surrounded him and refused to leave. Yi Qingchen didn't know medical skills, but he could tell that Yuan Huo was seriously injured. , As for why only Yuan Huo suffered such serious injuries, Yi Qingchen can roughly guess the reason.

Yuan Huo is the most skilled swordsman among the elders who besieged Yeluo, and he was also the one who hurt Yeluo the most. Yeluo was born with a strong desire for revenge, so she picked Yuan Huo to attack, and after a while, Yuan Huo ate it The big loss has become the fate of dying, but the possibility of old injuries cannot be ignored.

But I am not a disciple of Jianzong, and I don't know what happened to Yuan Huo.

Thinking of this, his eyes somehow drifted to Mr. Dugu, who was still shaking his folding fan, as if everything was under control, noticed that Yi Qingchen was looking at him, and asked, "Young Master Yi, what advice do you have?" ?”

Yi Qingchen thought for a while, but still didn't ask "Is Elder Yuan Huo dead?", and just said lightly, "If Hui Ruying and the others went to help in the tent, the people who are familiar with each other now I'm the only one, sir, I wonder if I can bother you to send me back to the tent?"

Mr. Dugu chuckled, closed the folding fan, and pushed Yi Qingchen towards the tent. Yi Qingchen didn't say a word all the way, but only listened intently to the discussions on the side of the road. Those who fought just now, and those who guessed the extent of Yuan Huo's injury, Yi Qingchen listened to each of them, the more he listened, the more chilled he became, and the more he listened, the more silent he became.

After returning to the tent, Mr. Dugu settled him properly and left.

From the beginning to the end, Yi Qingchen didn't say a word, just closed his eyes, loathing himself for being unable to do anything right now.
