No matter from any angle, the mass grave was not an auspicious place. In Liu Yueqi's imagination, the corpses placed randomly, some of which had been eaten by wild beasts, were incomplete, surrounded by a swarm of flies, and the stench
Xuntian.
"Young Master, I forgot to tell you that this time we are here to investigate the case. I brought Xiao Wu with me. He has investigated the cause of the Young Master's death before and should have some other clues. He walks faster and is probably in front now.
Wait for us!" Qing'er said suddenly.
Xiao Wu? Who is Xiao Wu?
Liu Yueqi was stunned.
"Sir, have you forgotten? That morning, the gentle-looking man you saw was named Wu Qiong. He is the spirit of a centipede. It sounds scary, but don't be afraid, Mr. Wu. He has a better temper.
He is calm and easy to communicate with, and Qing'er is here, so he doesn't dare to scare the young master!" Qing'er said confidently.
Xiao Wu?
Liu Yueqi is a little numb. You call that man who looks to be in his thirties called Xiao Wu? Although the age of the monster is fake, but this is too...Liu Yueqi inexplicably thinks of Geng, I call you brother.
, you call me dad, we each call each other our own!
Based on his apparent age, Liu Yueqi would have trouble calling him uncle, but according to Qing'er's relationship, does he have to call himself eldest brother?
I call you uncle, you call me brother, and we each call each other our own.
"Young master, please don't bully Qing'er in front of Xiao Wu later, otherwise my authority as the eldest sister will be useless! Young master... you have to remember... the big deal... the worst case is that I will let the young master bully me again when I go back at night.
, I still have to give Qing'er some face in front of Qing'er's men..." Qing'er's voice became softer and softer, with a hint of submissive tone.
Liu Yueqi heard it funny and nodded in agreement with Qing'er. Besides, Liu Yueqi didn't have the habit of bullying Qing'er in public...
Wu Qiong, like Qing'er's other subordinates, is a monster in the second realm, but he has not experienced the catastrophe like Qing'er, and is not as strong as Qing'er. Monsters, regardless of age, are often respected for their strength, so naturally they are all
Recognize Qingqing'er as a big sister.
Liu Yueqi got off the carriage and saw the gentle man he had seen before standing on the roadside with a warm smile on his face.
After Qing'er got out of the car, Wu Qiong respectfully called him eldest sister, and he also addressed Liu Yueqi as "gongzi".
Fortunately, Xiao Wu is a decent person and didn't call him eldest brother, otherwise it would be difficult for Liu Yueqi to speak.
"Wu...Brother Wu, I'm troublesome for Brother Wu by bothering me like this!" Liu Yueqi clasped her fists and laughed.
"My lord, your words are serious. It concerns everyone's safety. Why bother talking about things that are part of your business?" Wu Qiong shook his head, but his expression did not change.
He looks like a cultured person, and has absolutely nothing to do with things like centipede spirits that are scary to think about.
"Okay, the young master is one of our own!" Qing'er's face became solemn and she said calmly: "No need to be polite, let's go over first!"
"..." Liu Yueqi was stunned for a second or two, then nodded.
Then the three of them walked towards the mass grave.
Chu State is located in the west of the mainland, and Chu Jing is in the north of Chu State. Although the city is located on a small plain, there are many mountainous areas around it. The mass graves are considered to be the interface between the plains and the mountainous areas. As the carriage traveled along, the terrain has changed.
It's a little bumpy, but after getting off the bus, you can see the rolling mountains ahead.
For the sake of convenience, the three of them went there on foot, while the driver and carriage stayed behind to wait for their return.
The coachman is also a servant of the Liyue Mansion, but he is very panicked now. Last time, a coachman was punished for taking the young master into the mountains. Wouldn't it be even more outrageous for him to directly send the young master to the mass grave this time?
Ordinary carriages are equipped with sound insulation devices, so the coachman cannot hear the conversation of the people in the carriage. Naturally, he does not know that the young master is confident this time. The person who wanted to capture him last time has treated him as a treasure this time!
"Xiao Wu, how far has it progressed? You can tell me first, Master... Master, what's wrong with you?" Qing'er frowned slightly.
"Well...no...nothing...that...Qing...eldest sister...ah poof...hahaha!" Liu Yueqi couldn't hold it back when she mentioned the eldest sister and burst out laughing...
Qing'er's face turned red with anger, and she could no longer maintain her majestic image. She raised her foot and kicked Liu Yueqi's butt: "Damn Young Master! Smelly Young Master! Didn't we agree on it in the car! You...you
……I'm furious!"
"Yes...I'm sorry, hahaha...I don't know why, I just want to laugh...maybe I'm thinking of something happy!" Liu Yueqi seemed to be convulsed. The more she held it in, the more she wanted to laugh. Compare it to Qing'er in the car.
The look made me want to laugh even more, and kept laughing.
Wu Qiong on the side, as if he had expected it, raised his head and shook his head, which made his eldest sister even more worried. If it were the eldest sister in the past, she would never allow herself to be laughed at like this, not even in private, let alone in front of others.
"You're still laughing!" Qing'er raised her small fist and punched Liu Yueqi, wanting to bite him!
Wu Qiong finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to save the situation: "Sir, as early as the day when the master was knocked unconscious, I had already gone to check out the person who hit him, but when I went out of the city to look for him, he was already dead.
!”
Hearing this, Liu Yueqi finally stopped smiling and asked, "Brother Wu, have you checked how that person died and what was the cause of death?"
"The cause of death is unknown!" Wu Qiong sighed: "Time is tight, I can only take a quick look, but I can't see why the man died. The possible means of killing are beyond our knowledge.
The range, the person who killed him might be a master!"
"Master?" Qing'er stopped making trouble and frowned: "You haven't even seen the method of killing, what kind of method it is..."
"There are no external injuries on the body, and there are no signs of poisoning. I am pressed for time and cannot find out more. If I am not wrong, it should be a high-level practitioner who cast a spell to kill, or was hit by some kind of spell in advance. After a certain time,
He died suddenly. The practitioner's cultivation level is much higher than mine, and his method is superb, so naturally I can't detect it!"
"Could it be that vixen?" Qing'er suddenly thought: "The vixen's cultivation in the third realm is enough to perform many advanced magic arts!"
"Probably not!" Liu Yueqi shook her head: "Sister Xiaobai doesn't look like the kind of person who kills people if they don't agree. At that time, she hadn't eaten the food I cooked, and there seemed to be no relationship between me and her.
Not a good relationship."
Qing'er rolled her eyes at him: "Sir, do you have any misunderstanding about monsters? Monsters! You don't need a reason to kill a few mortals, let alone a third-level monster like her. As long as you don't make a big deal out of it, there is basically no problem.
No one can care about him! Young master, you are also her fiancée after all, and it won’t look good on her face if someone bumps her to death for no reason!”
"Having said that, I still feel it's not her!" Liu Yueqi still insisted on her idea!
"Sir, you are biased! You just favor that vixen!" Qing'er pouted, and Wu Qiong couldn't help but get angry with Liu Yueqi even though Wu Qiong was present.
"This is not a prejudice. I believe in you without reservation, Qing'er!" Liu Yueqi said immediately.
This sentence made Qing'er lose his temper, but he sighed: "Master, actually... Qing'er is not a good monster. The murders Qing'er has done are already very serious. Even now, if someone wants to harm the master,
Qing'er will kill him without hesitation!" Qing'er's tone was a little low. She actually didn't want to show her bad side in front of Liu Yueqi. Liu Yueqi was a mortal after all, and Qing'er knew... Young Master
Her heart is actually very kind. No matter before or now, her kind heart always makes Qing'er feel warm and comfortable.
"I know! Yuzhu told me something." Liu Yueqi smiled and shook her head: "But as for me, I don't look at the past, I always look at the future. As long as Qing'er stays by my side, I will always be there."
I'm in charge of Qing'er! I won't let Qing'er kill people randomly!" There is nothing wrong with what he said. Liu Yueqi's past... there is no past at all. What else can he do except look to the future.
"Bah! You're so beautiful! Qing'er won't be controlled by Young Master!" Qing'er blushed and turned her head away. She couldn't hide the joy in her eyes: Young Master will control me for the rest of my life! Qing'er will definitely be obedient...
When Wu Qiong saw this, the expression on his face became more and more serious: excess kindness will only bring disaster, especially for monsters! I don't know whether the young master's character is good or bad... But no matter what the young master is, anyway,
The eldest sister has been addicted to it and can't extricate herself. Although this is not a good phenomenon...but maybe the young master can really resolve the obsession in the eldest sister's heart, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the eldest sister. The eldest sister has really lived a wonderful life in the past eight years.
Tired, physical and psychological pressure made her life extremely painful every day. If you think about it this way, from a certain perspective, the young master really gave the eldest sister a second life!
"No matter who killed that person, but that person came to assassinate with a purpose... It is no longer an assassination. He just wanted to kill the young master! The horse he was riding was clearly a dragon colt.
, This is what I have always wondered about, even an ordinary horse can kill a mortal young master, why do we need to arrange a dragon colt, such a conspicuous thing, aren't we afraid that others will notice it?" Wu Qiong began to analyze.
: "In other words, that person has no intention of hiding it at all. He is confident enough that we can't find him!"
Is this really the case? Liu Yueqi frowned. This should have nothing to do with confidence. Even if you are confident, there is no need to spend a lot of money to get a dragon colt to kill you. This is completely unnecessary!
"Is there any way to start with Long Ju and find out the real culprit behind the scenes?" Qing'er asked.
"It's a way, but as I said before, since the other party dares to use the dragon colt, they are naturally not afraid of being investigated!" Wu Qiong said thoughtfully.
"No! I think we can check along this line!" Liu Yueqi suddenly said.
Wu Qiong looked at Liu Yueqi and was surprised by Liu Yueqi's sudden words.
"I think the reason why they use the dragon colt is not because they are confident, but because they want to make sure they can kill me!" Liu Yue said.
"Oh? Can't ordinary horses kill the young master?" Wu Qiong did not say this with a sarcastic tone, but he was also thinking about it.
"Yes! Maybe they thought that ordinary horses might not be able to hit me to death, so they arranged a safer way." Liu Yueqi seemed to have some guesses in her mind, but they were not clear enough.
"But even if they used the dragon colt, they still failed!"
Liu Yueqi shook her head and said slowly: "If I guessed correctly, they have actually succeeded!"
