Tingyulou is relatively peaceful now, but the capital is restless all night long. Various changes occurred one after another in the Yun family, which also caused the Yun family to feel a sense of inexplicable pressure.
The pressure felt by the Yun family has undoubtedly been passed on to the entire royal capital, causing the entire royal capital to follow suit.
The search lasted all night and lasted until midnight. In a corner of an alley, a Yun family soldier suddenly screamed like a ghost and jumped out from the corner, looking terrified.
"Corpse, corpse, I saw a corpse..."
A captain grabbed him and shouted: "What is the ghost's name? Speak slowly."
"There is a corpse in the sewer under the alley. It seems... it seems..."
"What is it?" The captain's face was ashen and his tone was trembling.
"It seems there are too few." The soldier stammered, his face turned pale. He was obviously frightened.
"Fart! You're such a good boy, how could you..." The captain slapped him in the face and walked over with a few people.
After a while, a body was pulled up.
Turning over and taking a closer look, the captain was dumbfounded as if he had been electrocuted. The corpse had not had time to rot, it was completely bloodless, soaked in water, and slightly swollen. But it was obvious that this was Yun Chao.
ah.
Others were also dumbfounded. They never expected that Yun Chao, who the Yun family had been looking for most of the night, was already dead!
"Quick, quick, report to the superiors quickly."
Yunchen had already given an order to report the news to him as soon as possible. Therefore, although his subordinates were a little overwhelmed by the bad news, a confidant quickly sent the news to Yunchen.
Yun Chen was worried about Yun Chao's whereabouts and couldn't sleep peacefully.
After hearing the bad news, I couldn't believe my ears at all, and grabbed the confidant's chest: "Did you see with your own eyes that it was Chao'er?"
The confidant looked pale and shook his head: "The report came from below and was delivered soon."
"Impossible! Impossible!" Yunchen kept shouting like a madman, "My Chao'er has a full heaven and a round earth. He is obviously blessed. He cannot die young! You lie, you lie!"
Despite the fact that Yunchen is usually aloof and aloof, he doesn't seem to panic when he encounters anything.
When he suddenly received the bad news, his behavior was no different from ordinary people. No matter how much he didn't believe it, his demeanor and actions had already betrayed him deeply.
Because the hands under his sleeves were shaking slightly. The muscles on his face were also twitching.
It can be seen that this sudden bad news hit him deeply.
Outside the house, the sound of hurried footsteps kept coming. Someone outside said cautiously: "The clan elder... has brought the person here."
people?
This is a nice way of saying it, but it actually means bringing the body back.
Yunchen took a deep breath and said as if to cheer himself up: "It's impossible, it's impossible! My Chao'er will be fine. I definitely don't believe it. You must have admitted your mistake!"
As he spoke, Yunchen seemed to be encouraging himself, rubbing his face with both hands, and walked out.
The body was placed in front of the hall.
All the people who came in had their heads drooped, and no one dared to look at Yunchen. When they saw Yunchen coming out, these people just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
It's not that they have any shame, it's that they don't know how to face Yunchen's thunderous wrath. Of course they know Yunchao's status in the old man's heart.
Yun Chao's death means that all the old man's previous efforts will be in vain, and all the slaves will be in vain.
They simply couldn't imagine how angry the elders of the three tribes would be.
Although Yunchen tried his best to pretend to be calm, his expression was obviously very scary. He tried his best to get to the body step by step.
After just one glance, Yunchen screamed and fell to his knees on the ground.
"Chao'er!"
Yunchen's throat felt sweet, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out from his throat. He didn't need to carefully identify his own grandson.
With just one glance, he could see clearly that he was his most beloved and valued grandson! The grandson who had placed countless hopes on him and inherited countless ambitions from him!
"Chao'er, who did this? Who did this? I want his life!" Yunchen howled.
The other subordinates of Yun Chen's lineage all felt sad and worried at the same time. They felt that their future suddenly became extremely confused, as if the light that had been lighting up their hearts suddenly went out, leaving them I feel extremely confused about the future and cannot see hope.
Without Yunchao, all the efforts of the old lineage of the three clans would be in vain. They would have no competitiveness in the competition among the various lines.
Whether it is the throne of Qingluo Kingdom or the position of the future head of the family, the hope of falling into the hands of the elders of the three clans is very slim.
This is a matter of both prosperity and loss.
Yun Chen stroked the swollen corpse and burst into tears. A pair of old withered hands, a pair of bloody hands that had massacred many children of the Jiang family, were trembling at the moment.
Is this retribution?
For the first time, the word retribution flashed through the old man's mind.
When he besieged the Jiang family, he killed at least dozens of Jiang family members, old, young, strong, weak, male and female. He killed them all.
At that time, he never softened his heart and never thought there was anything wrong with it.
It was not until this moment that his beloved grandson turned into a corpse that he knew what pain and despair were!
The old man stood up, looked up to the sky and roared.
"No matter who did it, I will definitely investigate to the end! I will make you pay ten times or a hundred times the price!"
"Yunzhao!" Yunchen shouted.
"Elder of the clan, I'm here." Yunzhao is Yun Chen's younger brother. Although he does not occupy the position of clan elder, his status in the Yun family is relatively prominent.
"I order you to lead three thousand men and go out of the city all night to capture Chao'er's followers. You will be given three days to catch every one of them. You must bring them back alive!"
Yunchen slowly regained some sense from his grief and began to make arrangements.
But Yunzhao was a little hesitant. If we take out all the elites of this lineage now, wouldn't it be bad if something happens to the clan again?
"Elder of the clan, I only need to bring five hundred men and horses. The situation in the royal capital is complicated now. I don't worry about taking away all the elite men and horses. Moreover, those people escaped yesterday morning. If they deliberately hide, The world is so big, it’s not that easy to catch.”
Leaving the royal capital is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even for ordinary monks in the Mortal Realm, it may not be that easy to find.
"Go, go quickly! I don't want to hear any reasons. If you can't come back alive, don't come back either!" Yunchen roared.
