C9 His royal highness
Following the guidance of the young officer, Fu Changqing brought his men to a remote path where the dragons were piled up. There, on both sides of the road, they discovered a pile of bones.
These bones were relatively close to each other, for a total of fourteen corpses, and there were many common hidden knife s and other weapons around them.
Fu Changqing carefully observed the surrounding topography and the vegetation on both sides of the road, and realised that many of the trees had been cut down by sharp weapons. Judging from the diameter of the trees, cutting down such trees would require a large amount of Inner Qi.
After picking up the weapons and comparing them with the broken branches on the trees, Fu Changqing was sure that the trees he chopped down were the ones caused by the weapons he collected from the ground.
It's not right, the weapons were left here by the corpses, they were scattered around, indicating that the ones that cut down the trees were these dead, these dead people left such obvious traces of fighting, they must have gone through an intense battle, and looking at their skills, they should be not bad, although this place is far away, but it's not easy to kill these fourteen people, and what's more suspicious is, these dead people did not even break their bones, they do not seem to have suffered any serious injuries, the white bones indicate that they were not poisoned.
If that was the case, then what kind of experts would the person who killed these people be?
Fu Changqing's subordinates were still meticulously searching the vicinity. Fu Changqing waved his hands: "You guys stay far away first."
His subordinates immediately understood and retreated to a distance of one kilometer away.
Fu Changqing closed his eyes and chanted an incantation. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and at the same time, the nearby sand and stones were rustling loudly, covering the sky and the sun.
To Fu Changqing, the Inquisition of Ghosts was just a small trick.
In the past when he had encountered a thorny case, he had used similar methods to interrogate the wandering souls near the scene of the crime, or directly find the ghosts of the dead to make them identify the murderer.
But this time, after Fu Changqing used the technique, he discovered that there were no ghosts in the surrounding five kilometers. Furthermore, none of the ghosts of the dead were in the vicinity.
This was strange. A remote place like this should be a place where ghosts gather. Furthermore, the deaths of these dead were unfathomable. Naturally, they weren't willing to enter the cycle of reincarnation. They should be wandering around nearby … Unless the ghosts of the dead were destroyed by someone, or if they were overpowered by a Warlock with cultivation, they should be here.
The attempt to summon a soul failed, there wasn't even a single intelligent ghost nearby, so Fu Changqing could only give up. He closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, they had already returned to normal, the surrounding cold wind had also dissipated.
It seemed that this method wouldn't work, and he still had to use traditional methods.
Fu Changqing called for his subordinates, and searched the clothes of the deceased person, then carefully checked the weapon once again. On the weapon's blade, he saw the words "Kang Sang".
Kang Sang was the famous banner of the Kang District for making weapons, just like the Forbidden City's "Wangjie Zi".
Most weapons had the word "Kang Sang" written on their hilt and hilt. At the same time, the soldiers had also found a few identity tokens, as well as some items and money in their luggage …
From these discoveries, he was sure that this group of people came from the Kang district and came here to do business. The people from the Kang district were martial artists, and the people were more aggressive than those from the Wei Zang district. They were all usually big men.
Fu Changqing came to a rough conclusion: This caravan from Kang District encountered an extremely powerful enemy on their way here.
They didn't take their money with them, so they weren't robbers. Moreover, there weren't any obvious scars on the corpses, and the souls of the dead were nowhere to be found. These clues all indicated that the person who killed them was most likely an expert in arcane skills, an evil expert.
Unfortunately, they had already died a long time ago, so Fu Changqing was unable to find any more useful leads, and was unable to lock onto the culprit.
Fu Changqing naturally did not know that these unlucky fellows on the ground had once been saved by Yu Xianhe in that tavern in the Octagon Street …
...
Inside the's Mansion, the Forbidden City.
A dignified man in a dragon robe was currently entertaining guests. He was drinking with a group of nobles and officials, and if one were to look carefully at the make-up on his body (the fabric on the front and back of the official's chest was an important feature of the uniform system), one would notice that it was a Five-Clawed Dragon …
This man was Prince of Germany Aisinguro frame.
The Prince of Germany was the cousin of the current Emperor of the light thread. Although he was not as powerful as Prince Gong Yi, he was still renowned as a relative of the Emperor, and he was also quite liked by the Old Buddha.
Those who came to attend the banquet were either rich or noble, there were also important officials of the imperial court.
During the banquet, the women who served the tea were as beautiful as the clouds. After three rounds of drinking, the guests' eyes were hazy with drunkenness. As they looked at the various beauties in the banquet hall, their hearts began to race.
At this time, the Prince of Germany would always be at ease with others. In the Prince of Germany Palace, there were a lot of guest rooms, and every time, when guests were invited to a banquet, the guests who were drunk and unable to return would often rest in the guest room where the framing prince resided. Of course, a portion of these guests were not completely drunk, they would bring the beauties that the Prince of Germany had prepared for them to the guest rooms.
The light thread was filled with worry for both internal and external troubles, and the nation's situation was in danger. Great Qing Kingdom was already like an old man on his deathbed, and had lost all signs of life, but the Prince of Germany Palace was still filled with phoenixes and phoenixes.
Waiting for the guests to return and go to the guest rooms, Prince of Germany ordered the people to clean up the banquet hall and returned to the guest hall. There, there were 'guests' that he needed to meet.
According to the reports from the subordinates, there were two guests this time, one was Left Protector from white lotus, and the other was a great bandit whose name shook the four seas.
The white bearded old man on the left was the renowned white lotus. He had led the disciples of the white lotus in a fierce battle with Qing Ting, and the bearded big fellow on the right was a bandit who killed many people in the North River region.
However, by this time, the two of them had long since lost their former grandeur. They wore prison uniforms and were reduced to prisoners …
In front of the Daqing Empire, how big of a storm could a little Protector of the Taoist Church and a great bandit cause?
Prince of Germany pushed open the door and glanced at the two before asking: "Do you know my rules?"
The protector and the bandit nodded at the same time, indicating that they knew.
"This King should stress it again. Teach me the skills that you are most proficient in. If I am satisfied, I will spare your lives and restore you to your freedom. " Frame loading path.
The protector glanced at the bandit and revealed a helpless and bitter smile.
They were both death prisoners in the Sky Prison, and because they had high cultivation bases, they were pierced through by experts in the inner palace to restrict most of their cultivation. An hour ago, someone came to the Sky Prison to take them away, at that time they did not know what the other party was planning, but when they were brought to the Prince of Germany Palace and saw the big words on the door, they knew that the other party was not here to save them.
They were both well-informed martial artists, so they had naturally heard rumors about the Prince of Germany who loved new techniques and was obsessed with all kinds of martial arts. There was no lack of talented people in the Celestial Prison in the Forbidden City, and every once in a while, they would pick out a few prisoners and bring them back to their own residences, requesting them to pass on their profound techniques or powerful martial arts. If they were satisfied, he would release the person who taught them and let them regain their freedom.
In these past few years, there had been more than a few hundred death row experts brought to the Prince of Germany Palace. However, only a few few were able to leave the Duke Palace alive.
Rather than say that the Prince of Germany had given these prisoners a chance to live, it would be better to say that the time limit for their execution was shortened by the Prince of Germany.
The bandit said with a look of disdain: "You are Prince of Germany? "It's up to you if you want to kill me or cut me up, why should I teach you my skills?"
However, the elderly protector immediately spoke out: "Lord Prince of Germany, I am willing to bestow all the essence of my life to Your Highness. If Your Highness is satisfied, I hope that you can give me a way out."
With that, the protector started to explain the profound techniques that he had learned in the white lotus, causing the Prince of Germany to nod his head repeatedly.
...
After an incense's time, the curiosity on Prince of Germany's face turned to boredom. He waved his hands and said, "Old thing, is this all you have?
The protector hurriedly explained, "Sir, don't worry. These techniques are easy to learn and hard to master. Although it's easy to learn, it's not easy to learn them."
"I've listened to you blabber on for a long time, but it's only a Ghost Binding Technique and a Divine Invitation Art. Don't say it's easy, but hard to master. Come, attack me with these two most proud techniques and see how I'll defeat you." His face did not look good, and he was disappointed with the dignified white lotus.
Left Protector pointed to the chain on his shoulder blade, he nodded and waved his hand in the air, causing the chain on his shoulder to break.
Then, Left Protector stood up, both of his feet suddenly stepped on the ground, the cuffs on his feet immediately fell apart, his face had regained some color, and he cupped his fists together, "Sorry about that!"
frame did not stand up, but looked at Left Protector with interest, wanting to see what the old thing was trying to say.
"Ancestor Mao Shan, please give me divine might. Please bind this demon and dispel this evil!" The Left Protector who was chanting changed. His eyes turned white and blank as the bones in his body creaked. His body grew in size and the remaining iron chains in his shoulder blades broke away from the edges of his bones …
After a short period of time, a few guards behind Zhang Ye had a change occur that was similar to that of a Left Protector. After they grew in size, they pointed their swords at Zhang Ye and attacked together with the Left Protector.
Framing's face revealed a look of surprise, he never thought that his subordinates would actually become Left Protector's puppets …
However, he soon discovered that out of the six guards behind him, five of them had white eyes while one of them was still conscious. However, his figure's explosive growth was far more exaggerated than the others.
"Good, so you're the one who's going straight!" They had already figured out that the most powerful guard was actually someone from the white lotus.
The tall guard laughed and joined the other guards in attacking the frame...
Intense sounds of fighting came from the living room. The guards outside were all standing in front of the door, and none of them went up to check, because they knew that their master, the Prince of Germany, was busy with important matters at this time.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, there were seven corpses in the living room.
The Left Protector and the six guards were all decapitated, and after their deaths, their bodies returned to normal. The white lotus expert who had snuck into the Prince of Germany Palace died the most miserably, and after his head was chopped off, she was even smashed by a fist that carried a frame and smashed his head into pieces.
Framing squatted in front of the pile of red and white objects, spat, and said to himself, "I hate traitors that eat outsiders the most."
The bandit who was kneeling in the corner was trembling in fear. He no longer had the tenacity that he had before and quickly kowtowed like a chick pecking rice. After obtaining permission to carry the frames, he showed them everything he had learned and taught them.
However, he did not expect that not long after, he would be able to take his life with the "Three Knives for Life" that he was most proud of …
