The guards sent by Emperor Jing didn't leave for long.
Two more guards came over quickly with frightened expressions and reported back to Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, when the servants were patrolling the perimeter, they smelled a faint smell of blood. When the servants followed the smell of blood and found it, they were about a mile away from here.
Twenty miles up a steep hillside..."
Thinking of that scene, even the royal guards were as calm as ever!
He gritted his teeth and continued, "There are broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and corpses are piled up in mountains. At least, there are thousands of people!"
If it hadn't been for that level of blood flowing into the river, it would have been impossible to smell the slightest trace of blood in the place where they patrolled.
As I got closer, of course there was not a trace, but the smell of blood that could make people suffocate!
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Emperor Jing's face changed obviously.
He said solemnly, "What's going on?"
The guards continued with numb scalps, "Judging from the broken blades, the slaves felt... felt... that the person who killed those people was the same person."
one person!
The faces of those present were once again horrified.
"Who are those people? Are they assassins?"
"Looking at the clothes of those mutilated bodies, and the various... weapons scattered on the ground. Those people should be just ordinary people in the capital."
"Ordinary people? How could ordinary people appear within the confines of Jiuyi Mountain for no reason!"
"They are indeed ordinary people..." Those guards couldn't understand, but those pieces of clothing, as well as weapons such as kitchen knives, sickles and even hoes, no matter how you look at it, they are indeed ordinary people.
"Who killed them?"
"There is no one else around. But..." The two guards glanced at a certain courtier from the corner of their eyes, "We found the body of a woman in the ditch at the foot of the mountain. I don't know if it is related. The slaves also brought it back."
"The woman's body?"
"Yes, the slaves feel a bit familiar..."
At these words, there was another gasp.
There is no village or shop in this barren mountain. The body of a woman looks familiar. Then... Emperor Jing said calmly, "Bring it up."
Soon, a guard came up carrying something, which was covered with a guard's robe to cover the woman's appearance.
But even though that dress was stained with blood, a middle-aged man dressed as a military attache with thick eyebrows and big eyes could still recognize it at a glance... that was his daughter!
At the same time, several women around Ling Ruolan also recognized that dress, and a chill ran down their spines.
Isn’t that their companion, Yu Fangfang, who is also in the Women’s Cavalry Team!
The middle-aged man, Yu Fangfang's father, Yu Zhonglang, walked over almost staggeringly, and tremblingly opened the guard robe that covered his face.
Even though he had already guessed that this was probably his daughter, when he saw her miserable condition with his own eyes, something still exploded in his mind.
I saw a cold corpse with no trace of blood on its face, and only two bloody eye sockets were left in the eyes! The black and red dry eye sockets, the eyeballs were gouged out by life!
Everyone who was close saw this scene. A woman next to Ling Ruolan trembled slightly and said, "Fangfang chased a snow fox and got separated from us..."
"It's so cruel, who did it..."
Soon one or two of the accompanying imperial doctors came over and conducted a general inspection, "Your Majesty, Miss Yu probably lost her eyes and couldn't see the road, and fell down the mountain and died."
Yu Zhonglang couldn't even speak, "Your Majesty..."
Even if he couldn't form a sentence, Emperor Jing understood. He frowned and said, "Soushan!"
"yes!"
A large number of people gathered together. Except for protecting Emperor Jing and his party, everyone else dispersed and dug three feet into the ground to search the mountain!
At this moment, it was completely outside the scope of Jiuyi Mountain, but very close to the scope of Jiuyi Mountain, where a carriage was parked.
The charming woman in the carriage looked at the corpse lying in the carriage, with a bloody hole the size of a little finger on her forehead, eyes wide open, and a dead body.
The man driving outside the carriage was also a man with a strange face. He said in a hoarse voice, "Holy girl, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time at this moment."
"Hehehe, the blood slave is actually dead! He died like this!"
Ayina's eyes stood up strangely, and her body exuded an indescribable subtle smell.
Soon, insects like iron wires and dense waves swam towards the carriage from the edge of the mountain!
Those insects directly avoided the man driving the carriage and got into the carriage. All of them entered the body of the blood slave!
These insects did not come from elsewhere. They were the insects that got into the bodies of the people who came forward to hunt down Baili Feiyue.
When she felt that the bodies of those parasitic hosts had almost no place to live in and suffered heavy losses in an instant, Ayina urged the Gu King to take them back.
Of course, to control the poisonous insects on such a large scale, even when Ayina was able to control the poisonous insects, she spit out a mouthful of black blood.
The man driving the car said, "Saint, please withdraw." The Saint was exhausted today and must rest for a while.
Ayina narrowed her eyes, "The Gu King in my body can no longer sense the location of Miss Ling San."
"Didn't you already control her to jump off the cliff?"
"Oh, I controlled her to jump off the cliff. But the new crow corpse I released couldn't follow it and sneak under the cliff to find out what happened. If this saint wants to kill someone, she must see the corpse. Otherwise, then...
It’s not considered dead. What’s more…”
What's more, the last thing she saw with the new crow corpse was that she had replaced the man in purple who appeared in the arena before and jumped down with Miss Ling San!
Who knows if such a master can reverse life and death!
"Pfft!" Another mouthful of blood spat out. She had indeed lost too much. Ayina lowered her head and looked at her white and tender fingers, which shriveled up in an instant. However, in an instant, wrinkles appeared and age spots covered her hands.
Hands that were so dry that there was no trace of blood.
No, we have to find a place to take care of ourselves!
"Walk!"
…
When Emperor Jing's guards were searching the mountains, they sent people to Kyoto. When the people they sent came back, they reported that Baili Feiyue, Miss Ling San, and Mu Qing had not returned to the capital. In fact, the city gate officers and soldiers had not seen them at all.
passing time.
The hunting trip to Jiuyi Mountain ended early.
One-third of them continued to search in the Jiuyi Mountain area, while the rest protected Emperor Jing and his party as they returned to Beijing.
The foreign envoys who originally saw the joke in their hearts also became inexplicably nervous.
After Emperor Jing returned to the palace, Ling Sheng, who was indeed ill in bed, and Mu Qing's father, Shilang, rushed to the palace.
Ling Sheng was seriously ill, and a normally majestic Da Jingjun could not sit still and needed help!
Mu Qing's father is in good health, and his face is rare and solemn, and it is rare that he doesn't look good.
And not only was there something wrong at Jiuyi Mountain, but the entire Punishment Department, except for Mu Shilang and Wang Shangshu, and the twenty dozen or so officers and soldiers of the Punishment Department who happened to be taken out to handle the case, were not here for the past two days.
No matter who the other members of the Punishment Department were, they all became terminally ill overnight!
