Bai Ling did not ask what Shangguan Yu and Princess Han said. The group just had a meal on the roadside, and Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu continued on their way.
Not only did they go to the border, they also stopped the coffin halfway and checked the body.
Of course, no one can know about the autopsy, so Bai Ling's space can only be used.
After all, they were traveling in both directions, so the two of them soon met a group of people transporting the coffin of the 'King of Han'.
It is unclear whether these people really knew nothing about it, or whether there was an order from above to keep it secret, and no one discussed the affairs of the King of Han.
Bai Ling and the two couldn't arrest anyone for questioning, so they could only hold off on searching for clues for the time being.
"How is it?" Seeing that Shangguan Yu had inspected it from head to toe, Bai Ling asked cautiously, fearing that the body really belonged to the King of Han.
"Probably not." Shangguan Yu said unsurely.
The body was completely unrecognizable because all the feathers and arrows had been removed.
In addition, the body was not well preserved at first, and even after it was packed with ice, it was already swollen and showed signs of decay.
Touching the armor, Shangguan Yu's eyes were red, like a lone wolf, and his coldness revealed the hatred and monstrous anger that only humans can have.
Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest a few times, then took Shangguan Yu's arm and said softly: "It's okay, let's send the body back first and set off for the border immediately."
"Yeah." Shangguan Yu nodded, took back his trembling hand, turned around and saw Bai Ling's face turning pale, so he changed his words: "The body will be sent back to the coffin first. Let's stay here for one night. You can have a good rest, and I will too."
I want to hear if those soldiers will talk about this."
"Okay." Bai Ling responded softly.
Bai Ling had been rushing almost as hard as he could in the past few days. He was indeed very tired and needed a good rest to ensure that he could reach the border safely.
That night, Bai Ling naturally slept well because he was tired.
Based on the time difference in space, Bai Ling slept for several consecutive days and nights.
Shangguan Yu, on the other hand, kept listening to what was going on outside. Unfortunately, the soldiers seemed to have no idea. Even if they chatted for a few words, they were just lamenting that a person as high and powerful as the King of Han would die unexpectedly, even if he was short of death.
corpse.
On the contrary, the soldiers talked a little about General Wang, but most of them were dissatisfied with Semicircle. On the contrary, they all admired the military advisor named Lin.
When Bai Ling woke up, the team transporting the coffin had already set off.
"Have I been asleep for a long time?" Bai Ling opened her eyes and saw Shangguan Yu sitting next to her, asking lazily because she had just woken up.
"Thank you for your hard work." Shangguan Yu said apologetically while holding Bai Ling's hand.
If it were something else, Shangguan Yu would definitely not let Bai Ling rush like this.
But now the life or death of the King of Han was uncertain, so Shangguan Yu had to rush to the border.
"You're being polite to me again, do you still think I'm an outsider?" Bai Ling pretended to be angry, raised his head and kissed the side of Shangguan Yu's face, and said with a smile: "Let's set off, the most important thing is to get to the border as soon as possible."
After swallowing the word "thank you", Shangguan Yu nodded slightly and held Bai Ling's hand a little tighter.
Border.
In the past few days, General Wang had been singing almost every night. In front of outsiders, he pretended to be sorry for the death of the King of Han, and told those who knew about the battle that night that they wanted to tear General Wang's face apart.
Although General Wang has been stationed at the border for many years, he deducted military pay to enrich his own pockets. When encountering war, he hid behind the scenes, preferring to achieve great success.
Among the border officers and soldiers, all those with some blood in their hearts detested General Wang.
But General Wang was appointed by the imperial court, so no matter how unhappy the soldiers were, they could only obey orders.
"From today on, all people coming from the direction of the capital will be strictly investigated. Anyone with a capital accent will be recorded in detail and someone will be sent to keep an eye on them." Military Advisor Lin explained to the soldiers guarding the city gate at the city gate.
"Yes, military advisor." The soldiers responded.
Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu, who had just arrived at the city gate, originally planned to disguise themselves as common people and enter the city.
But after hearing what Military Advisor Lin said, he decided to stay in the space, and after entering the city, he would also take action in the space.
"This Military Advisor Lin seems to have a lot of status." Bai Ling looked at Military Advisor Lin suspiciously and frowned: "I don't know why, although his appearance and clothes are more elegant, he gives me the impression that he is a black guy on the inside.
Woolen cloth?"
"Follow him." Shangguan Yu said.
Bai Ling nodded. It was much easier to follow someone than to rush.
Especially when the other party stays in one place, Bai Ling can take the opportunity to rest for a while and let Shangguan Yu keep an eye on him.
Military Advisor Lin looked at the city gate for a while, then turned and returned to the general's mansion. However, he did not go back to his own courtyard, but went to see General Wang's concubine.
Judging from the reactions of the servants, it seems that they are all used to it.
"Have you got the secret decree?" Military Advisor Lin waved his hand and asked after retreating from the servants in the room.
"I didn't get it." Aunt Mei curled her lips and said unhappily: "That old guy usually looks confused, but this time he was smarter and refused to reveal where the secret edict was. Because I asked a few questions, this
If you don't come to my place for a few days, I probably won't have a chance to get it."
"Don't you know where he usually hides his secrets?" Military Advisor Lin frowned, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and asked again.
"There are many places for me to hide things. In addition to the General's Mansion, there are also several private residences. I can't even get in. How can I find them?" Aunt Mei replied impatiently. Seeing that Commander Lin's face looked ugly, she added
: "I'm just a concubine, the old man won't tell me everything. Otherwise, you go and see if you can take action from the madam."
Military Advisor Lin glared at Aunt Mei, turned around and left.
Aunt Mei stamped her feet angrily and said angrily: "No man is a good thing. He will leave after using him. Do you really think that I will do anything for you willingly?"
After listening to a few more sentences, he realized that what Aunt Mei said was nonsense, so Bai Ling activated the space and continued to follow Military Advisor Lin.
"Secret decree?" Bai Ling looked at Shangguan Yu and asked speculatively: "Is it related to your father's affairs?"
"It must be related." Shangguan Yu said coldly: "If it is really the emperor who did it, then I..."
"This is a space, and no one will hear you. Just say what you want." Knowing Shangguan Yu's meaning, Bai Ling said indifferently: "Killing people to pay for their lives, what can the emperor do? He is not a human being.
If it really has something to do with him, I will give him a bag of poison."
"What if I want to rebel against this?" Shangguan Yu looked at Bai Ling and asked.
"Then I will provide you with money and food." Bai Ling replied without hesitation.
After giving Bai Ling a deep look, Shangguan Yu was silent for a moment and then said: "Find my father first, and then find the secret decree. If the truth about my father's accident is found out, it will really benefit the emperor, and we can make long-term plans."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Bai Ling didn't have any doubts.
The two followed Military Advisor Lin until dark, but did not see Military Advisor Lin going to any special place.
It was uncertain whether Military Advisor Lin knew the whereabouts of King Han, so Shangguan Yu stayed at Military Advisor Lin's residence for the time being, while Bai Ling took advantage of the convenience of space and searched the general's residence, but still found no trace of King Han.
On the second day, the two men began to search the entire city, and captured some inconspicuous people into the space, and asked about the abnormality on the night of the Han King's accident.
Although there is no clear evidence, Shangguan Yu has dared to conclude that General Wang wants to kill the King of Han. No matter what the reason is, General Wang is the person Shangguan Yu has put on the death list. (To be continued)
