Baili Yeheng glanced at Leng Ao, curled his lips and said with a smile, "You can figure it out yourself."
Coming out of the secret room, Leng Ao whispered in Huai Moran's ear: "Give me one of the iron scrolls from Zuiyue Tower." After saying that, he glanced at Baili Yeheng.
Huai Moran was stunned for a long time before he realized what was happening. Then he pulled Leng Ao aside and said, "How do you know?"
"You don't have to worry about this, but Zuiyuelou's business is much better than before." Leng Ao said with a smile.
Then he said with regret: "Why did you meet Baili Yeheng first? If I had met you first, I would definitely marry you home."
"..." Huai Moran's mouth twitched, why are all of them so narcissistic?
However, after she came to Chongzi Villa, she realized that Baili Yeheng went in and out of Chongzi Villa just like entering and leaving his own house, and did not take Leng Ao seriously as the owner at all.
She also saw Ye Si at Chongzi Villa, but Ye Si was seriously injured and unconscious. Baili Yeheng glanced at Ye Si and then hurriedly left Chongzi Villa.
Huai Moran also followed Baili Yeheng to leave Chongzi Villa and went to Dali Temple.
It was only in Mo Ran at Dali Temple that I learned that many people were missing.
But what is even more horrifying is that when they were found, those people had become unconscious walking zombies.
Mo Ran felt a chill in his heart as he looked at the man who was still waving his claws at Zhang Ya, who was reeking of stench.
The appearance of these people reminded her of a biochemical crisis that broke out in her previous life. That time, due to the failure of the research project, a large number of people working in that organization turned into zombies. They were also like this person, unconscious and human.
of flesh and blood.
After Baili Yeheng arrived at Dali Temple, he immediately called Cen Yu, the minister of Dali Temple.
"Prince, if this continues, I'm afraid it will cause panic in the imperial capital." Cen Yu said worriedly.
After all, this kind of thing has not happened for hundreds of years, and this time it is actually in the imperial capital, and it is obvious that he wants to go against the emperor.
"Lock up those people first, and no one is allowed to approach them. Have you found any clues?" Baili Yeheng asked, frowning into the Chinese character "Chuan".
Cen Yu shook his head and said: "The people who cultivated voodoo disappeared a hundred years ago. It is not easy to find out."
Baili Yeheng nodded and said to him: "You should report this matter to my father truthfully, and you will never allow any concealment."
Cen Yu said yes with both hands in long sleeves.
"I think that Cen Yu seems to be lying." Hua Mo Rancai said after walking out of Dali Temple.
Baili Yeheng turned to look at Huai Moran, crossed his hands on his chest, and said, "How do you know?"
"Feeling." Huai Moran pursed his lips and said.
Baili Yeheng shook his head and said: "You feel very accurate. He is indeed lying. First, how did he know that this was a kind of witchcraft? He must know something. This is a very important clue.
"
"Ye Si was injured and is now in a coma. We won't know what happened until Ye Si wakes up." Baili Yeheng actually vaguely knew something, but there was no evidence.
Huai Moran tilted his head and asked him: "What should we do now?"
"Wait." Baili Yeheng only answered one word briefly, and then said: "The first day of next month is the annual Prayer Festival. People will hold sacrificial activities, including those in the palace. Then I will let the beautiful scenery help
you prepare."
Huai Moran thought about it and said, "Waiting is not the answer."
"Oh?!" Baili Yeheng raised his voice and spoke one syllable.
"What festival did you say the Prayer Festival was?" Huai Moran did not answer him, but changed the subject.
Praying for the new year means praying for good weather in the new year, which is similar to the meaning of New Year's Eve in Huai Moran's understanding.
The two people who came out of Dali Temple were chatting and walking. When passing by the Phoenix Tower, they met Baili Fusu.
Baili Fusu always wears impeccable clothes, looking like a good young man from a troubled world.
"My dear brother, please see the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." He clasped his fists in salute, but was held back by Baili Yeheng.
"Fifth brother is too polite." Baili Yeheng said with a smile.
Baili Fusu also smiled, his smile was always so warm, but Baili Yeheng's smile was always half evil and half mocking.
"My brother has made an appointment with some friends here today. I wonder if the prince and the princess are interested in meeting him?" Baili Fusu smiled calmly.
Huai Moran smiled back and quickly replied: "Okay!"
The three of them went upstairs together, but they didn't expect that the third prince Baili Yexuan was also there. When Huai Moran saw Baili Yexuan, he remembered that Huai Yaosong came to her to plead for mercy. After a moment of confusion, Baili Yexuan had already
He stood up and stood beside her, smiling: "Mo Ran's eyes smell of conspiracy!"
Huai Moran smiled awkwardly, but her palms felt painful. She turned to look at Baili Yeheng, and saw that although he was smiling, there was not much smile in his eyes.
"Everyone, please take a seat. I have called you all together today to ask if you have noticed an increase in missing people recently?" Baili Fusu thoughtfully greeted everyone to sit down and then went straight to the topic.
The people gathered here are usually the children of scholar-bureaucrats. Of course they have heard about it for a long time. One of them is Cen Feng, the son of Cen Yu, the minister of Dali Temple.
"Missing? They were killed. There are many corpses in Dali Temple now. Those people are really pitiful and died at a young age." Cen Feng said with great regret.
Another young man stood up and said indignantly: "Who is so hateful? It's so heartless."
After everyone discussed it for a while, Baili Yexuan suddenly said to Baili Yeheng: "Brother, you should know about this matter very well, why don't you tell everyone about it!"
Baili Yeheng had been drinking tea quietly from the beginning, with no intention of interrupting. It wasn't until Baili Yexuan spoke that everyone turned their attention to Baili Yeheng.
Baili Yeheng looked at everyone with a smile, then put down his tea cup and said slowly: "This matter is still under investigation. I think Cen Feng should know better than me what the outcome will be."
Baili Yexuan didn't care about this matter at first, he just came to join in the fun. He was about to leave as soon as he arrived, but when he saw Baili Yeheng and Huai Moran coming, he continued to stay.
Compared with Baili Yexuan's indifference, Baili Fusu's eyes always showed an expression of compassion for the common people. Whenever he heard that a woman was holding her son's body and crying bitterly, Fusu would show his expression.
Sad expression.
Cen Feng glanced at Baili Fusu subconsciously, but saw that he hesitated for a long time before he said as if he had made up his mind: "I heard that it was Chongzi Pavilion who did it. They arrested these people to refine the Gu. I thought
We must control these people to achieve the goal of unifying the world."
Huai Moran could clearly see Baili Ye Heng's eyebrows raised slightly, and a very disdainful light in his eyes, but it disappeared instantly, and he put on an interesting expression and said: "Oh?! So this is still a joke.
Is there a feud between Jianghu and Jianghu?"
Baili Yexuan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. What if someone wants to dominate the world through the shell of a unified world!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Even though she was a fool, Huai Moran understood the meaning of Baili Yexuan's words. Although she had known for a long time that the third prince and the crown prince only fought openly and secretly, this was the first time she had seen such a fight where the sword was hidden in the smile and the needle was hidden in the cotton.
However, Baili Yeheng was not angry, but smiled and said: "Fifth brother, what do you think?"
Baili Fusu looked at Baili Yeheng with a blank expression, and then looked at Huai Moran as if asking for help. Huai Moran stood up, glanced at the people present and said: "Instead of gossiping here so much, it's better to go back.
I'm sleeping at home. I'm sorry, everyone, but please allow me to take my leave."
When Baili Fusu saw Huai Moran standing up and about to leave, he looked at her very embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Fusu was bored and made my sister-in-law laugh."
Except for Baili Fusu, everyone present looked at Huai Moran with varying degrees of disgust and contempt. A little girl who didn't understand anything dared to speak arrogantly here, but the people present were hindered by her identity.
, no one stood up to refute and reprimand her.
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Baili Yeheng called Huai Moran to the study.
Baili Yeheng's expression was solemn and he said: "Ye Si is seriously injured. Let's put aside the matter of the dead body for now. You can go wherever I go during the New Year Prayer Party. If the scenery is beautiful, I will ask her to go to Xiaoxiao's side. Okay.
You are also tired today, go and rest."
"Yeah." Huai Moran nodded and turned to leave.
Baili Yeheng suddenly stopped her and said, "Why don't you ask why?"
Huai Moran shook his head and said: "If you want to say it, you will naturally say it. If you don't want to say it, asking will be in vain."
In fact, this is just the habit of Huai Moran who has been a special forces soldier for many years. Execution and obedience are everything, and he never asks why.
Baili Yeheng suddenly fell silent and said, "Ning Qing seems to like you very much now."
Huai Moran was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect him to change the topic so quickly. He came back to his senses and said, "That little girl!" As she spoke, her expression became a little complicated and unpredictable, as if she was reminiscing.
It's in memory.
"That girl Ning Qing has had no mother since she was a child, and she was spoiled by Prince Ning. It's rare that she likes you so much. You should treat her like your sister!" Baili Yeheng said.
Huai Moran snorted disdainfully, "Would I argue with a child?"
"That's good. You can take Ning Qing to the palace tomorrow." Baili Yeheng seemed to have something to say, but Huai Moran waited for a while without saying anything, so he nodded and turned around.
Baili Yeheng looked at her back and said solemnly: "Pay attention to safety."
Although Huai Moran didn't understand what Baili Yeheng meant by paying attention to safety, she would be careful about everything. She had been here for so long and had seen the overt and covert fights between Baili Yeheng and other brothers. Naturally, she knew that the prayer meeting would be a must.
There are also many crises.
After Huai Moran left, Baili Yeheng rubbed his forehead, his thoughts in a mess.
Everything was piled up together, making him feel very irritable, including Xiaoxiao's poison, the sudden appearance of witches and Gu masters in the imperial capital, the annual gathering of prayers and several waves of assassins in the Prince's Mansion every month, and the group of assassins who were dealing with the court.
Old fox...
"Master, Ye Si woke up today and said something vaguely, but no one heard clearly." Chuanyun held a long sword in his hand and reported the situation to Baili Yeheng.
Baili Yeheng nodded and said: "I understand." Then he asked him again: "Did you find anything over there at Ben Lei?"
"Not yet, but Qishuang sent word that there is a tribe at the end of the sea and sky. Those people seem to be the descendants of the Wuzhen clan, but only priests can learn the art of witchcraft, so there should not be many people who know it."
After Yun finished speaking, he stood there waiting for Baili Yeheng's order.
After Baili Yeheng thought for a while, he said: "Let Ben Lei come back, the Festival of Prayer for Good Harvest is here again."
