Weicheng snow

Nomura is vast and sparsely populated, and each house is separated by at least four or five fields. He Gu's family is the closest one to the woodcutter's house. The two girls are close friends and often rush to each other.On the night of picking up the ghost-faced gentleman, He Gu was the first to hear the fighting, but He Gu's family only had a mother with poor legs and feet, so she wanted to find Hong Gu and the woodcutter.

The three carried torches and searched for the sound. At first, the three thought it was a wild boar coming down the mountain to steal the potatoes in the field, but the closer they got, the stronger the smell of blood in the air. Occasionally, a woman's shrill voice could be heard. Laughter, the three of them realized something was wrong.

When the three of them arrived, there was a red light in the forest, and they saw a woman in black trapped in a weird formation and could not get out, and directly opposite her, a man in red with a knife was standing in the formation. On the other end, covered in blood, he held a red rope in his hand, and at the end of the red rope was a wisp of misty smoke, which was locking the woman's wrist.

The woman held her right wrist and said in shock, "When did you learn it? What do you want to do..."

The man looked gloomy and didn't intend to answer.

The woman began to slam into the barrier of the formation, but it was in vain after several attempts.Leaning against the barrier, she pushed her messy hair back and smiled, "Don't think I'll forgive you... I won't forgive you for anything you do... you liar......"

"You kind of kill me!"

The man clenched the red rope tightly, "I will kill you, cut off your flesh one by one, and let you die badly, in order to repay the blood debt owed over the years. But not now... ..”

The woman leaned against the barrier and fell to the ground, the mask fell to her feet, with a sad smile, "Although I don't know what you are going to do, you'd better kill me now, as long as I can leave alive, I will use This face, exactly like yours, bears the name of the Jiang family and kills everyone in the world!"

The formation was full of red light, and the silver ornaments on the red rope suddenly exploded, shattered into powder, and dispersed with the wind.The red rope flowed away from the man's hand and became a solid body tied to the woman's wrist. The moment the red rope was completely condensed, the woman screamed, clutched her head, and fell into the formation shaking.

The man was about to approach the woman, when another old man in black suddenly appeared and fought to the death with the man, but it seemed that both of them were seriously injured. The fight did not last long, and the man was seriously injured. It seems that the old man has the upper hand.Seeing that the situation was not good, the man ran away unwillingly, but the old man did not catch up until the figure of the man disappeared completely. Then he covered his heart, vomited a mouthful of black blood, fell to the ground, and turned into a pool of black blood in an instant. water.

The three walked out of the grass and came to the unconscious ghost-faced gentleman.

When Aunt He saw the blood and knife marks around her, she always felt that this was a troublesome person. Picking it up would cause trouble, but Aunt Hong held the silk gauze on the ghost-faced gentleman's body and exclaimed, "This cloth, I only saw the county magistrate." Madam wore it on her birthday, so it must be very valuable!" He reached out for the mask left on the ground by Mr. Ghost Face, and tried to weigh it, "It's so heavy..."

Looking at the pretty face of the ghost-faced gentleman, He Gu's feeling of uneasiness was gradually amplified, "How could such a rich lady end up here, she must have offended her enemies, and if we are saved, we will definitely be implicated. Hong'er, Don't worry about the money, go back..."

But Hong Gu shook her head, and turned to the woodcutter, "Father, go back and bring the ox cart to install people, you see she is so rich, if she is saved by us, she might give us a lot of money when she wakes up." .And this is the kindness of life-saving, human life, Goddess Guanyin will definitely bless us."

He Gu couldn't stop her, so she let her go, but in the end she was still worried, and went to the woodcutter's house the next day to check, and seeing nothing happened, she felt a little more at ease.

Until this afternoon, Hong Gu came happily to show off to He Gu, "The family of that young lady has been found, there is a young man in black, a young man in white, a girl from the government, and a People from the Western Regions with yellow hair and blue eyes are all good-looking and handsome, so they shouldn't be bad people. Xiao He, you wait, wait until I send you away, and I will take you to live in the city for a few days after asking for some money from your father. I heard that the theater troupe from 16 years ago is back, do you want to listen to the songs from when you were young?"

Speaking of this, He Gu couldn't help wiping away tears, "I should have stopped her back then!"

After listening to He Gu's narration, Zhao Yu's heart trembled. With a slight shake of his hand, his head fell from his hand and rolled into He Gu's arms. Going forward for treatment, Zhao Yu couldn't calm down for a long time.

A man from the Western Regions with yellow hair and blue eyes... Isn't this... the appearance of the Yue family sent by the royal family to monitor them?The Yue family has been doing the business of killers and assassins all year round. It is not difficult to take the lives of two people in a short period of time. If this murder is explained as the work of the Yue family, the method will make sense.

Just why did the Yue family do this?

Aren't they simply ordered to monitor Yi Baixue?

An uneasy idea emerged in Zhao Yu's mind, she pondered for a moment, and finally chose to stay by He Gu's side temporarily, waiting for He Gu to wake up.

Among the people who had been pinched for a long time, He Gu just woke up from a coma, and the first thing she said after waking up was, "I said it all, don't look at me anymore, don't..." regained consciousness Come on, staring at his hands in confusion, "where's the head...?"

Zhao Yu had ordered someone to carry the body back to the Yamen, and now only Zhao Yu, He Gu, Wu Zuo, and the four guards in front of the gate were left in the courtyard. When He Gu woke up, Wu Zuo got up too. leave.

Seeing that the villagers had dispersed, He Gu knew that she had been unconscious for quite some time. She didn't quite understand why Zhao Yu was still here. Zhao Yu tapped her temple with her index finger, and said to He Gu, "You, about The killer is on his way." He Gu was stunned for a moment, then guessed tremblingly, "Is it the killer who killed Hong Gu and the others?"

Zhao Yu nodded, "After all, you have seen the real face of the killer. Even if the murderer hadn't been among the villagers just now, once he knew you were a witness, he would have been killed."

He Gu hurriedly defended herself, "I haven't met him face to face, it's just that I just saw him secretly..." It turns out that He Gu has always been concerned about Hong Gu's safety, so she intuitively told He Gu that Hong Gu took him home. It must be unusual for this person to come here, so she always pays attention to the situation around Honggu's house. One of the windows of Qiahe's house is facing Honggu's house. See the situation in the courtyard of Honggu's house.In this way, He Gu met Yi Qingchen and others who were brought home by the woodcutter during the day.

Zhao Yu nodded, and suggested, "Can you take me to your house?" He Gu naturally agreed, and led Zhao Yu home while saying, "I should be careful, because I know that I I can see other people, and others can see me naturally, so whenever I look at Hong Gu's house, I will carefully hide by the window, only showing a pair of eyes, girl, don't make fun of me..."

On the contrary, Zhao Yu agreed with He Gu's approach, "You are very vigilant, which is very good."

He Gu continued to explain, "The young man in black and the young man in white stayed at Hong Gu's house for about half an hour, and Hong Gu came out to see off the guests. At that time, Hong Gu should be fine... Not long after the young man left, another young man dressed in white came, but this young man had blond hair and was much taller than the previous white-clothed young man...Honggu chatted with him in front of the courtyard gate. After saying something, I opened the door and led him into the house... Later... Then I went to change the medicine for my mother... I didn't notice the situation on Honggu's side ..."

In this way, the time when the Yue family killer will attack can be roughly determined.

Chao Yu held his chin in thought for a while, and commented, "This murderer is really comfortable, and even knocked on the front door to enter the house..." The Yue family's blond hair and blue eyes are really unusual in the Central Plains, walking on the street Can always win the attention of countless people, if it is just a simple assassination, why choose such an easy way to expose?

While thinking, He Gu has led Zhao Yu back to her courtyard.According to the villagers, Hegu lived with his mother. The mother and daughter depended on each other for life. Only accepting some food deductions, after so many years, it may not be so poor, but it is very happy.

As soon as Zhao Yu and He Gu entered the courtyard, frightened chickens and ducks jumped up the tree. He Gu respectfully guided Zhao Yu into the house, but Zhao Yu keenly noticed that there was no light in the house, and the chickens and ducks scattered in the courtyard. Without returning to the nest, there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

She followed behind Gu He calmly, her fingers quietly attached to the iron whip around her waist, and the moment Gu Gu was about to push the door, she asked coldly, "What kind of orders did the Yue family receive?"

As soon as the words fell, He Gu's hand on the doorknob froze, and her frightened expression turned into a chuckle, and she turned to look at Zhao Yu, "As expected of a descendant of the Yu family, it's a pity... ..." Zhao Yu watched He Gu's figure gradually swell, and the crackling sound of bone dislocation could be heard endlessly, and after a while, He Gu in front of her became a tall man.Zhao Yu's heart ached when he heard it, and he couldn't help frowning, "What? I ordered you to kill me together?"

The man lifted the hem of his skirt and pulled out a fixed scimitar from his leg, "You have to ask Sun Guoshi about this..."

Zhao Yu's heart shuddered, it really was a moth made by the guy from the national teacher behind his back.

The national teacher has long been dissatisfied with the existence of the eldest princess, and believes that the future of this country should not be inherited by a female class. Although he maintains a neutral position on the surface, he secretly tries to suppress the forces around the eldest princess, even at the moment. The four romantic forces directly under the emperor.

Zhao Yu couldn't tell how supernatural powers the Fenghua Xueyue family had. She only learned from Yu Feng's description that these four families seemed to have supernatural powers. They existed to protect the imperial power. The emperor is the most loyal existence in the entire imperial city. If such a family hadn't come to the city with soldiers, how could it be easily sent out?

This is something Zhao Yu has never understood.

Also, since His Majesty loves the eldest princess so much, why would he send a killer to prevent Yi Baixue from proving her innocence?If Yi Baixue was charged with the crime, the eldest princess would also lose power, and His Majesty would never do this.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu felt even more uneasy. She stared straight into the killer's eyes and asked awe-inspiringly, "Can you guarantee that His Majesty personally issued the order given by the national teacher?" Zhao Yu held the iron whip As soon as he raised his right hand, the killer thought she was going to attack, so he took the scimitar out of its sheath, but the former simply pointed at him with the tail of the whip to ask questions.

The killer was taken aback for a moment, a little inexplicably, "Can there be a fake decree that has been sealed?"

The reason why Zhao Yu didn't want to fight with the Yue family was very simple, that is, the other party's strength was hidden too deeply, otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, Zhao Yu would have beaten the other party to the ground before questioning.

Moreover, this matter was too weird, Zhao Yu didn't dare to bring the answer to the worst case he assumed, so he had to ask Yue's family over and over again for confirmation, "You only saw an edict and listened to the words of the national teacher, but you didn't see it yourself. His Majesty?"

The killer copied his hands, a little impatient, "Are you delaying time? Did you call a helper?"

Zhao Yu just rolled his eyes when he heard the words, "No, what I mean is, will you be deceived?"

The killer was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Yu snorted coldly angrily, and explained to him, "The eldest princess supports Yi Baixue, and His Majesty loves the eldest princess. It's not bad to send you to help Yi Baixue, so why send you to prevent him from proving himself? That old fellow of the national teacher, I wish I could drag the princess into the water..."

The killer pondered for a moment, and felt that what Zhao Yu said was reasonable, so he reached out his hand to dig out the edict, took out the edict, and opened it to Zhao Yu, "Look, the black letters and red seals are made by jade seals. Should I believe it?" Zhao Yu looked closer for a moment, "It's Yuxi's seal..."

Hearing the words, the killer raised his scimitar and put on a stance, "Fight, either you die or I die, let me go back to my life earlier."

Seeing the killer looking so anxious to hit, Zhao Yu realized for the first time in his life how annoying it is for a person who rushes to strike without listening to what the person has to say. He also reflected and warned himself that he must listen to the prisoner's defense before acting. hand.

The night wind passed by, Zhao Yu held his breath, and stared quietly at the killer in front of him. Opening the blade, there was the sound of breaking wind whistling in her ears, Zhao Yu had just stopped when the cold light hit her face, she hurriedly raised her hand to meet with the iron whip, after the loud sound of fine iron colliding, the two were in a stalemate.The killer praised Zhao Yu's skills, and his subordinates suddenly increased their strength, sweeping down their legs, and crushed Zhao Yu to the ground.

Zhao Yu gritted her teeth and persisted, and the killer laughed, "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for your friend to poison you?"

Zhao Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, the chickens and ducks on the tree beside him had already fallen into a deep sleep, but the killer looked at Zhao Yu with a smile as if nothing had happened, "It's a good strategy, but unfortunately, it shouldn't be used on me." Said Come on, free one hand, take out a plum blossom dart from his waist, and throw it straight to the shadow of the house.

Under the moonlight, the plum blossom dart collided with a silver needle in mid-air and fell to the ground. Yi Qingchen walked out of the shadow slowly, looked at Zhao Yu with a smile, and said helplessly, "It failed, what should I do?"

Zhao Yu scolded, "You're still laughing! Come and help me!"

Yi Qingchen took the dagger from his waist and rushed over, the killer actually used the vacated right hand to pull out the scimitar from his leg, resisting Yi Qingchen's attack with one knife, suppressing Zhao Yu with the other, Two uses, no mistakes at all.

Yi Qingchen competed with him for a while, and he admired him very much, "Your saber skills are really good, I don't know who will win the fight between you and Shen Sheng?" Before the killer asked "Who is Shen Sheng", Yi Qingchen Qingchen turned her head to look at the shadow behind her, "What do you think? Wood."

The killer just realized that there was still a person hiding there, but when he realized it, his legs could no longer stand up, his two knives fell to the ground, and his whole body fell to the ground.
