Chapter 69 Fishing in Troubled Waters

Shu Yun naturally came to ask Yao Yu, and came several times, every time Yao Yu kept crying, occasionally choked up to answer a few words, and then couldn't say anything anymore.Shu Yun wished for her overly frightened appearance, so it was not his Shu Yun's responsibility if she couldn't ask any clues.

When Shuyun came to question for the first time, Yao Yu realized that the executive Jinwu didn't want to investigate the case.

This made Yao Yu even more puzzled, could it be that Shu Yun was protecting someone?So soon, Qiu Chi's people began to search for clues in the streets and alleys openly and aboveboard.The reason is very simple, Master Qiu Chi loves Miss Nian'er so much, so he must find the murderer to avenge Miss Nian'er.

When Qiu Chi moved, Xia Chao also moved.Ambassador Xia knew that he was to blame this time.Not only the people in the art class died, but also Bala, the clan son who served as the governor, also died.If he returns to Tongwan City without finding out the matter clearly, King Helian will definitely cut himself to pieces.So he also sent a lot of people around to inquire.

Just when the water in this pool was getting more and more muddy, Liu Song actually sent envoys to Pingcheng to meet the new Emperor Wei.No one knew what their purpose was, because Emperor Wei only invited Tuoba Pojun and Cui Hao into the palace to discuss matters.

On the tenth day, there was still no clue.People were sent to investigate the roads and post stations leading to various places in Pingcheng, but no one saw anything unusual.

If you want to kill a camp of people, the number of the other party must be indispensable.With so many people fleeing from Pingcheng, they should have left clues no matter what.But these people seem to have disappeared out of thin air.Zhao Yu even took the risk of using Tan Daoji's secret agent Meng Shi in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it was fruitless after all.

Probably because Yao Yu didn't dare to imagine that Yingfeng led people to kill the people from the first battalion, and dared to pretend to be Liu Song's envoys, and returned to Pingcheng, where he was a guest in the Wei Palace.

Another day of nothing, Yao Yu sat expressionlessly in the yard of the post house.In the name of healing her wounds, she declined all curious prying eyes.Every day I either stay in the room, or I am in the yard looking at the clouds in a trance.

"Xian Ji, the weather in early spring is still cold, please take care of your health. I know that Xian Ji can't bear the tragic death of the people in the art class. However, there are tens of thousands of people waiting for you in the Qiuchi country. Is Xian Ji going to abandon them? ?"

Yao Yu turned around and saw an official from Qiu Chi standing behind him.At this time, he was bowing to each other, respectfully keeping a distance of ten steps away from her.The official was in his early thirties, and from his neat attire, it could be seen that he was a cautious person.Except for the red face, all the facial features are considered to be a handsome scholar, with slender eyebrows and eyes, but his body is very muscular, which does not match this face slightly.

"What's your name?"

"Back to Immortal Fairy, humble minister He Lu."

"Do you know martial arts?"

He Lu didn't know why Yao Yu asked this question, but he still replied respectfully, "I don't know."

"If you don't know martial arts, what's the use of the dagger on your waist?"

The first time Yao Yu saw him, he noticed the bag on his belt, which must have been filled with heavy things, so the belt tilted slightly.Judging by the size of the belt, it was too big and too obvious to make a money bag, most likely a dagger was put in it.

He Lu immediately took off the cloth bag, bent down and handed it over, "Immortal Fairy has good eyesight. But there is no dagger in this bag. As I said before, I don't know martial arts, so carrying a dagger is useless."

Yao Yu took his cloth bag and found a small crossbow the size of a palm inside. A delicate silver arrow had already been wound, and there were two other small arrows underneath.

Seeing that Zhao Yu was studying carefully, He Lu hurriedly explained, "This small crossbow looks harmless, but it can fire three arrows in succession. The arrows are all made of diamond. Within ten steps, the strength can penetrate stone." Respectfully took the small crossbow, and shot an arrow at a fist-sized stone next to it, the stone was indeed pierced by the arrow.The moment the first small arrow was shot, he listened to the rotation of the mechanism inside the crossbow and pushed the second small arrow to the string.

"That's strange, you don't need to use your hands to shoot the arrow." Yao Yu took the crossbow from He Lu again, and studied the mechanism under the arrow, "You made this crossbow?"

"Yes, my father is a blacksmith. I have loved making these things since I was a child."

Yao Yu nodded, no wonder his figure can be considered strong, probably because of the blacksmithing.She handed the Liannu back to He Lu's hand, "Put it away carefully, this place is no different than the Chou Chi Kingdom, this kind of thing is easy to prove. What you just said... I heard it."

This is the first time in the past ten days that Yao Yu called himself Bengong.That's right... She still has Qiuchi's people waiting for her... Even if she is depressed here, the people in the art class and Bala will not be brought back to life.But the people of Qiuchi Kingdom are still alive, looking forward to the blessing of Immortal Fairy who protects the country.

I still remember the promise I made to them when offering sacrifices to heaven, that even if they were not real fairies, I would try my best to protect them.

Yao Yu looked at the clouds in the sky again, it was so fickle, such as the current situation is hard to figure out.Yao Yu suddenly thought of Xi Zhuer, in fact she was not the only one who escaped death.

I don't know if Xizhu'er heard about Bala's death in Wei Palace.She cared so much about Bala, if she found out, she would feel even more sad than herself... It's a pity that some fate can only be fleeting in the end.

Yao Yu was grieving for Xi Zhu'er when a servant of Qiu Chi walked into the courtyard and presented a bamboo slip with both hands.Said there was a woman waiting at the door.Originally the servant wanted to send her away, but she insisted on letting the servant pass in the bamboo slips, and if she didn't see her, she would leave immediately.

Yao Yu looked at the bamboo and nodded briefly, and asked the servants to bring him in.

It was the woman who stopped her after the celebration that night.

Yao Yuzhi left He Lu, stepped forward and nodded to the woman to say hello, "Why did Jiao Niang tear down the sword manual?" She said and returned the bamboo piece she had just handed in to the woman.

"There is really no suitable token, so I made such a bad plan. The slave family was entrusted by the wife to send a message to the girl. The lady said that the heart medicine the girl was looking for probably went in the direction of Liu Song. It's just that the number of people is wrong, so it's still there." Girls, please be careful in the near future."

I don't know if it was sitting in the yard for too long, but Yao Yu felt that the sun was shining so dizzily.Emperor Song, Emperor Song, new and old hatreds, we have to settle them!

The woman handed over another bundle and said, "Madam also said that if a girl is in a hurry to leave, it will be cold, and she should add more clothes. Don't get sick."

Yao Yu took the burden, feeling puzzled in her heart, not knowing what Jiao Niang meant, after thinking about it, she finally kept her mouth shut.

After seeing off the woman, Zhao Yu was about to turn around and go back to the room when he saw He Lu running back with a face like gold paper.

Yao Yu couldn't help frowning, "Why are you so panicked?"

He Lu said anxiously, "Hu Xia has sent troops to us!"

Yao Yu's eyes widened suddenly, "Xia Chao?!"

She suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Where is the envoy from Xia Chaolai?"

"Run away..." He Lu said discouragedly.

"What about Zimo?" Yao Yu asked again.

"Your Excellency is preparing to enter the palace to ask Emperor Wei to resign and return home."

"Stop him, I'll go with him! I was given to him by Emperor Wei, so I should leave with him!"

"Yes, I'm going now!" He Lu trotted out after finishing speaking.
