“Why?”
Duan Canghai said, “Although people from the Rising Sun Escort Agency were all dead, the escort carriages were still there. However, the goods on the carriages were gone and nothing was left.”
“The goods were gone?” Yang Ning raised his eyebrows tightly, and said softly, “That’s strange. If those killers wanted to rob them of the goods, they could just pull the carriages away. Why did they leave the escort carriages there? Is it possible that they wanted to place the goods on their own carriages?” He shook his head, “If they wanted to rob the goods, they must fulfill their task as quickly as possible. It would take them a lot of time to reload the goods. Do they all infuse their brains with water?”
“Well, Your Excellency, what does ‘infuse their brains with water’ mean?” Duan Canghai felt that this phrase was very novel, so he immediately asked Yang Ning modestly.
Yang Ning glanced at him and said, “The brain is full of brai
While Yang Ning was still in shock, someone was led into the mourning hall. This was a man of the age of thirty-something, well dressed, looking quite handsome yet pale. Seeing his staggering walking, unfocused gaze and listless appearance, Yang Ning knew that this man was extremely weak.The Marquis of Martial Arts stepped into the mourning hall and darted a look at Yang Ning, who was kneeling on the side. The Marquis took off his hat and made a casual fist and palm salute after stepping forward, then he immediately turned to Steward Qiu and asked, “Is the Dowager available?”“Please, Your Excellency, the Dowager has been unwell and is not able to receive anyone,” Steward Qiu said with great respect, “Your Excellency, please come to the leisure room for a cup of tea.” Steward Qiu turned and shotted a glance at Yang Ning. He gave Yang Ning a wave, gesturing Yang Ning to follow them.Holding hands at his back, the Marquis of Martial Arts coughed
Apparently, Gu Qinghan showed little respect to the Marquis of Martial Arts. A hint of anger crawled on to the Marquis’s brow, while he started to feel a little scrupulous in front of Gu Qinghan. He said, “I came here to see the Dowager on the matter of the engagement. Since the Dowager is not available now, I would like you to send a message for me.”“I heard what you just said, Your Excellency. I’m not sure if I understood it right,” Gu Qinghan casually said, “The marriage contract between our families was settled while two old marquises were still alive. Barring accidents, your family and ours will start to prepare for the wedding in the next spring. After all, the engagement has been settled for more than ten years.”“Prepare?” The Marquis of Martial Arts said with a sneer, “Now that Qi Jing has…has passed away, Qi Ning has to observe mourning for three years. Even if there is a wedding, it has to be held three years later.”“We can wait,”
Gu Qinghan frowned a little. After thinking for a while, she said in a low voice, “Canghai, give a strict order. From now on, no one in the Mansion shall go out without a good reason. If they need to purchase groceries, they shall be cautious while they are out.” Then she said to Qi Feng, “Qi Feng, you have acquaintances in Capital Bureau. You may ask them about what has happened.”Both of them lifted their hands and answered yes. Qi Feng said, “Third Lady, the policemen of Capital Bureau are just patrolling as instructed, therefore, if anything has happened in the palace, they properly don’t know exactly what is going on.”“I agree with Qi Feng,” Duan Canghai said, “Black Sword Camp has been sent into the Imperial City, and the defending force of the Imperial City has been shifted, which means that they wanted to block information from the palace. At this moment, it is difficult to inquire about what has happened in the palace.”After a brief
Things in the capital Jianye went on, in the way Duan Canghai had speculated. Black Sword Camp was sent into the Imperial City, replacing the defending force there, while the original defending force, Royal Guard Camp was sent out of the capital, stationed fifteen li away in the north of the city.At that night, a curfew was imposed in the city.If it was not in critical condition, a curfew would not be imposed even in a frontier town, let alone a capital of a state. A curfew would mean that something huge was about to happen.While Black Sword Camp was defending the Imperial City, Tiger God Camp was defending the gates to the outside of Jianye City. Besides, Tiger God Camp sent out some troops to assist Capital Bureau patrolling all the streets in the capital.It had been many years since the last time Jianye City experienced such a solemn atmosphere.By the time they held the funeral of Qi Jing, the Marquis of Honor,
If that eunuch was in a bowing position like others, Yang Ning would never notice him. However, his eyes were scanning Yang Ning’s face, so Yang Ning looked back at him and saw that eunuch was pale with no beard, but his eyes were fierce. He looked familiar at the first sight. When Yang Ning got to see clearly, he immediately recognized that the eunuch looked almost the same with the old man in gray robe, who he had met in the tavern.On that day, Yang Ning was escaping from the tavern with Xiao Guang, while that older in gray robe was trapped by the Mysterious Flying Cicada Ninjas. After that day, Yang Ning had thought about that man. He didn’t know for sure whether he was still alive or not, but he had a feeling that the old man was unlikely to survive.Trying to make a living in the Mansion of the Marquis of Honor for these days, Yang Ning almost forgot about the old man in gray robe, so he really didn’t expect to see him in such an occasion.
The face of the servant in black changed immediately, and his eyes turned fierce. He turned over his wrist and clenched Yang Ning’s wrist.Yang Ning sneered. As he and the servant in black were clenching each other at the wrist, he made a fist with the other hand and planned to punch in the face of the servant in black.He didn’t know that the servant in black was really skillful. The servant leaned back and dodged a punch from Yang Ning. As Yang Ning was about to take the chance of lowering his hand to grab the servant’s face, he felt tingling pain in his palm, like he got stung by a bee. Yang Ning knew this might be bad. Just in an instant, the servant in black had quickly moved behind him.Yang Ning didn’t expect this guy was so good at martial arts. As he was about to sweep his leg backward, he saw something shiny. It was a piece of finest wire aiming at his neck.Just in a split second, Yang Ning raised his right hand to prote
Duan Canghai scanned the room after getting in. His face slightly changed when he saw the long line formed with people. He hurried forward and drew the sword from the sheath, hacking.As the sword flashed by, the arm, which was stuck to Yang Ning, got cut off. Blood spurted. Duan Canghai was now holding Yang Ning by the arm and retreating at a rapid rate.It took him only a second to draw the sword and take Yang Ning away. He did it without any hesitation nor fear.After that arm got cut off, all those guards leaned backward. They were all exhausted and suffered the soreness of muscle. At this moment, none of them could manage to get up.Yang Ning was involuntarily taking in the flows of strength. The flows of strength were getting smoother. The route from the Qihai acupoint to his belly was already broken through, but his belly was extremely upset, like it was burning inside. Every time a wave of strength flowed in his body, it wa
Hearing the words of Duan Canghai, Yang Ning knew that he had figured out something. Yang Ning was aware that it would get worse if he kept lying, since Duan Canghai had already seen through it somehow.Besides, Duan Canghai’s comment was correct. At this time, what worried Yang Ning the most was how to get rid of the burning sense in his belly.He knew that the burning sense in his belly must be the result of sucking internal power from others. He was familiar with combat moves and even the meridian and skeleton of human body, but before the time travel, he had never dealt with anything like internal power.The internal power he had sucked was stored up in his belly, while Yang Ning had no idea about how to regulate them.He was a clever guy, knowing that it would be harmful if he couldn’t properly regulate all the internal power he had sucked, which was stored up in his belly.Duan Canghai was a good martial artist,
Qi Ning and the others waited outside the cave for a few moments before they saw White Toothpower come out, saying, "The Great Witch has given permission to go in, so all of you follow me."The crowd followed behind White Toothpower and entered within the stone cave.From the outside, the grotto is just an ordinary grotto, but Qi Ning in-depth, only to be appalled at the grotto of the project is huge, just the grotto of the vast scale, most of which is still attributed to the nature of the ghostly craftsmanship, and then later years, and by the Miao people keep building, only to have today's scale.Although the size of the grotto is not small, but is full of lonely and desolate, the people walk in the grotto, kicking and stepping, in the grotto spread out a long way, more show the quiet of the grotto.Qi Ning was even thinking at this time, if the Great Witch was alone here, alone and lonely, it was really a bit pitiful.After walking through a long tun
Several chiefs looked at each other, and one said loudly, "Dandu Bone, you have already killed the Great Miao King, do you want to make another mistake? If you hurt a single hair of Rangchadulu's head, we will definitely break your body into pieces."Dandu Bone said sternly,"Just based on Langchadulu's words, you put the blame on my Dandu Bone's head? You are all the chiefs of the villages, do you believe Langchadulu's words so easily?"Langchadulu exclaimed, "The evidence is overwhelming, could it be that I am falsely accusing you? Dandu Bone, you are so guilty that you should commit suicide in public to give everyone an explanation." Feeling the knife on the neck slightly tightened, the body could not help but tense up, and there was a trace of fear in his heart."I am Yifu of Black Rock Cave, the murder of the Great Miao King was all a trap set by Langchadulu." Seeing the blackness of the surrounding people and the flashes of swords, Yifu shouted, "It was Langch
The night was dark and moonless, and the Xishan Mountain Range was shrouded in night.The big Miao King was killed, the remains were placed within the large village of the Miao village, the village in addition to assigning some manpower to guard the various key roads on the mountain, young and old are already gathered to the outside of the large village, under the night, a group of people in the black, at least there are also thousands of people.The crying seemed to go on unabated from morning to night.During the years when the Great Miao King was alive, the Cangxi Miao Village, under his command, was almost peaceful, with people being self-sufficient and young and old in peace.Big Miao King is like a big tree, has been in the Miao village shelter, people have also been accustomed to have such a big tree protection and blessing.But overnight, the great tree of the Great Hmong King collapsed, and for many people, the murder of the Great Hmong King wa
The three of them were naturally unable to sleep this night, and by the next day, no one could be seen coming over for the entire day.The Prisoner Wolf Wall is quite a distance from the fortress, but despite this, the three of them heard the sound of weeping coming from the fortress, and in their hearts, they all knew that the news of the murder of the Great Miao King had spread throughout the fortress.The weeping continued for a whole day, and Dandu Bone could hardly help himself, and cried twice when he thought of the murdered King of the Great Hmong.This day not only no one to come over to the arraignment, and even the food delivery is not seen to come over, until after dark, only to see Chegu with another guard carrying a food basket to come over.Chegu first sent the meal between the gaps in the iron bars within Dandu Bone's stone prison, then Yifu, and finally Qi Ning's stone prison.Seeing that the meal was also still quite hearty, Qi Ning lau
At Qi Ning's words, Yi Fu suddenly came to a realization, her heart was appalled, and she said, "Langchadulu wanted to send out troops, but the Great Miao King and Dandu Bone didn't agree and insisted on negotiating, so Langchadulu set up a trap, killed the Great Miao King, and framed us and Dandu Bone for the crime.""That's my guess." Qi Ning sighed, "If my guess is correct, then we shouldn't survive a day. Now that Dandu Bone is imprisoned here and the Great Miao King has been killed, Langchadulu has become the number one person in Upper Water Cave, and it's only right that he can call the shots." With a hefty smile, he said, "The three of us are the ones he is most uneasy about right now, as long as we are dead, and the Great Hmong King is killed there will be someone to take the blame for him, and he will have nothing to worry about anymore."Dandu Bone clenched his fist and snapped, "If the Great Miao King was really killed by him, I ... I will definitely break thi
The three of them were each put within a stone cave, with Yifu in the center and Qi Ning and Dandu Bone to the left and right.As soon as Qi Ning entered inside, he knew that it was extremely difficult to get out, the cave was rocky on three sides, and only one side of the iron bars could be accessed.Prisoner wolf wall is obviously the upper water hole carefully designed place, the iron bars are made of fine iron, and on the iron lock, if the cold blade in hand, Qi Ning still think some opportunity to break out of the door, and now want to unarmed out of the cage, that is whimsical.In addition, there are also left three strong Miao people here to guard, that wooden house is the guard room, the front door is opposite to the stone wall prison, people in the inside, can notice every move within the stone prison.Yi Fu sat within the stone prison, anxious, she did not care about her own safety, but when she thought that the Great Miao King had met an untimely e
Dandu Bone's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "What did you say?""Dandu Bone, I heard that you have known these two for a long time?" Rangchadulu gripped the cold blade in his hand, "When you were at the bottom of the mountain, I heard that you were prepared to bring them up the mountain without the Great Miao King's orders?"Dandu Bone's face changed at first, and he snapped, "Rangchadulu, what do you mean by that?"Langchadulu seemed to still have some scruples about Dandu Bone, took two steps back and said loudly, "What do I mean, don't you understand? What exactly is the origin of these two people, you have to give us an explanation."At this time there was a crowd of more than ten people in the room, and all of them looked at Dandu Bone when they heard Rangchadulu say this.Dandu Bone clenched his fist and said, "That's right, I met them on my way back and .... they have saved my life.""It's good that you admit it." Rangchadulu
Langchadulu's voice was mournful, Eve's expression changed dramatically, and Qi Ning's face sank.The Miao people who followed Rangchadulu over were all shocked, and two of them had already snatched into the house, while Yifu had already followed into the house as well.Qi Ning followed behind Yi Fu and went in, only to see that there was a rattan chair at the corner of the house, the Great Miao King was sitting on top of the rattan chair, his back leaning against the rattan chair, but his head was drooping down on his chest, the house was filled with a smell of blood, the light of the oil lamps flickered, and Rangchadulu knelt down at the feet of the Great Miao King, holding the Great Miao King's hand, his complexion was bleak.Qi Ning's expression was cold, by the light of the lamp, but he had also seen clearly that in the chest of the Great Miao King, a blood stain, and the blood was flowing downward, obviously just killed soon.What shocked Qi Ning was no
Dandu Bone said in a deep voice, "Rangchadulu, for so many years, we Miao people have been living in harmony with the Han people, do you know what the consequences would be if we were to call in the troops from all the caves?"Langchadulu asked rhetorically, "And do you know what will happen if we are indifferent and turn a blind eye to the situation in the Black Rock Cave?" He took a step forward and said, "Our mission at Upper Water Cave is to stand up for the Miao people when they are in danger. Now that we all know that the Black Rock Cave is suffering from injustice, yet we sit back and do nothing, won't the Miao Family's 72 caves be chilled?""Not bad, Great Miao King, Black Rock Cave Eve has already told us the truth of the matter, this is obviously a trap set by the government for Black Rock Cave, they are so insidious, do we have to wait until Black Rock Cave has been killed before we react?" A Miao man said with righteous indignation, "Let's immediately send pe
