In early February, Suzhou ushered in the first spring rain after the beginning of the new year. From Shenshi onwards, the drizzle was like silk, as long as the long hair of the girls in the upper house, soft and misty, but with a refreshing coldness. The weather was common in ancient times
It's quite cold, and there are still uncultivated ice and snow left over from last winter. When the spring rain falls, the participating winter scenery gradually dissipates, turning into last year's residual chill that blows on the people of Suzhou.
The rain fell silently, but it washed away the shadows left by pedestrians on the street. There were only a few vendors packing their bags on the long Suzhou street.
The second prince's car did not stop at Suzhou Mansion, but at a mansion not far away.
Wei Wanying walked in front holding an umbrella, lifting the car curtain and waiting for Li Xiangyang inside to come out.
In the drizzle, it seemed like nothing had happened here. The air smelled of mud, and the sky was so gloomy that it was difficult to relax.
Rainwater gathered in the aqueduct in front of the mansion and flowed out of the city. The water was clear and the door was closed, as if everything was normal.
Li Xiangyang frowned, shook his body, and whispered to the servant behind him: "Knock on the door."
The servant immediately knocked on the door, but no one responded after three consecutive knocks. The servant pushed again, turned around and said, "Your Highness, the door is locked and there is no one inside."
Li Xiangyang frowned even more, reached out to take the umbrella from Wei Wanying, and signaled.
Wei Wanying changed her weak posture, looked at the courtyard wall with a sullen face, jumped up, and easily climbed over the wall.
"ah!"
An exclamation soon came from the wall, which made Li Xiangyang even more uneasy: "Open the door quickly!"
Wei Wanying opened the gate from the courtyard and didn't notice anything strange at first. When Li Xiangyang led people through the gate and saw the scene in the courtyard, they were all stunned.
The drizzle washed away all the smell, but failed to wash away the white snake carcasses in the courtyard.
It’s beyond description in words. Everywhere in the entire compound is covered with corpses of snow vipers. The number is beyond calculation. There is no place to stay in the compound. If it were winter, I would probably think that I have walked into a desert.
In the vast white snow, the scene in front of me is indeed the corpse of a snow viper. The blood has been washed away by the rain. The densely packed snake corpses are soaked in the rain. The scene is inexplicably desolate.
Wei Wanying reacted faster and went into the mansion alone. The more she saw along the way, the more frightened she became. Snake corpses were everywhere, so densely packed that there were no gaps, which made people's scalp numb. And in an inconspicuous room.
, she discovered the old woman’s body.
This is the person who kidnapped Chunjiao, the former No. 2 Snake Lady of Chunfang Division.
It was not until this moment that Wei Wanying believed that the woman she had just seen in Heroes Village was indeed Chunjiao. At the same time, it also made her look at the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in a different light.
She knew very well the strength of She Ji. Not only could she be killed, but there were only a handful of people who could defeat her.
But now, Snake Girl was killed silently, and all the snow vipers were also eliminated.
Who did this?
Will the humble leader have such capable people around him to help him?
Thinking about it, a trace of cold sweat seeped out from Wei Wanying's back. She hurried back to the door of the mansion and shook her head at Li Xiangyang: "She Ji is dead, and all the snow vipers are gone."
Perhaps because he was extremely angry, Li Xiangyang calmed down, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "What a Lu Xun! He will find such a troublesome thing even if he dies! This Xia Shang will be a big problem in the future."
"My subordinates don't know who did what happened today? Could it be the remnants of the previous dynasty who were hiding in Hero Manor?"
"Absolutely not! See for yourself how these snakes died."
Wei Wanying did not investigate carefully before, but now after being reminded by the second prince, her eyes fell on the snake corpse in front of her.
The Snow Viper is the totem beast of the Harubo Division. Although it is petite, its aggressiveness is extraordinary and its movements are very agile. It is not comparable to ordinary venomous snakes. Even people in the martial arts have difficulty guarding against it. It can kill tens of thousands of Snow Vipers.
, the murderer not only needs extremely strong skills, but also requires quite clever techniques.
Without exception, the corpses of these snow vipers were cut into several pieces, and none of them was a whole corpse. It can also be ruled out that it was caused by swords, because it is impossible for swords to attack so many targets at the same time.
It doesn't matter if you don't look. Wei Wanying's heart sank when she saw it. It seemed that the murderer's ability was far beyond her imagination.
"With your qualifications, who can you imagine who can do this in today's world?"
Wei Wanying thought about it, and two names quickly came to mind: "Yue Haitang's Jade Flute Tianyin function can turn the true energy into thousands of sharp threads, and Ye Liuyun's Liuyun Sanshou can pick leaves and flying flowers..."
Li Xiangyang snorted coldly: "Look over there again."
Wei Wanying followed what Li Xiangyang pointed and found a dead leaf stuck firmly upside down on a stone beside an inconspicuous flower bed...
Li Xiangyang pondered: "Now that Ye Liuyun claims to be a master, the entire Liuyun Sect has become more and more lawless. Does he really think that this king can't cure him?"
"Your Highness, this is not the time to enmity with the Liuyun Sect. What I don't know is why Ye Liuyun helped the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"The person named Xia has a close relationship with Ye Liuyun. It seems that the rumor is not false."
"That man already has such power in his hands, so it's really not appropriate to confront him head-on. Since you can't get rid of him, why doesn't Your Highness win over him?"
"Win over?" Li Xiangyang smiled meaningfully, "Although that guy looks weak on the surface, he is born to be rebellious and a lone star of evil. This kind of person should never be associated with him. Anyone who tries to win over him will eventually be counterattacked by him. In the end,
It’s going to be a point of no return.”
…
But at this time, Hero Manai, who had just sent away the second prince, welcomed a familiar guest.
Accompanied by Xia Shang, Nangong Chuxin walked in the Hero's Manor and was quite surprised to see every scene and thing in the Hero's Manor that had been renovated.
It had been more than half a year since she last received Xia Shang, and her sudden return this time was really sudden.
Speaking of which, Nangong Chuxin is the young master of Hero Manor, while Xia Shang is just a guest.
The drizzle is like silk, reflecting Nangong Chuxin's haggard face after running around, which looks very touching, but the friendship with her is not obvious. I don't know what to say when walking with her in the garden. But the maid Biyao is holding an umbrella behind her.
It had been a long time since I had seen Xia Shang. He tried his best to show his goodwill to Xia Shang with his bright eyes, but he was worried about being discovered by his wife. He blushed with embarrassment all the way, which was very beautiful.
They walked around the garden in silence all the way until they reached the small pavilion in the center of the flower corridor in the back garden. The two of them sat down on the floor. Nangong Chuxin took Baguio away again, leaving only her and Xia Shang. Only then did he say: "Soon,
My prince will go to Suzhou in person."
This sudden sentence made Xia Shang stunned: "Huh?"
Nangong Chu said solemnly: "For no other reason than to ask the young master to come out and help us fight for this great world!" (To be continued)
