Chapter 1573: Dust Returns to Dust

Coincidentally, Xia Zhaoyi easily found a wooden box on top of the bed of the Xuexiang sacred tree.

There is a Chinese character "Meng" engraved on the outside of the wooden box.

There were eight letters inside. She took a quick glance and took all eight letters away.

In the study room on the other side, in the corner of the top bookcase close to the wall, in addition to the wooden boxes, she also found a painting.

When the scroll was opened, inside was the painting of a girl by the river that Zhang Chi had handed over personally when they were in Hejing.

Lin Wumei was right. The portrait on the wanted poster was indeed transmitted by the Xuexiang sacred tree.

In addition to the scrolls, she found several other wooden boxes in other places in the study, which were also filled with letters.

She took a quick look and didn't think anything was worth taking away. Many things had already happened and were over.

On the other side of the study, there is an antique shelf that imitates the Han people's, but it also retains the wooden shelf characteristics of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

On the wooden shelves were placed the collection of the sacred tree of Xuexiang, including many precious gems, daggers, ironware, silk products, and many kinds of bone toys.

There are tiger bones, deer antlers, ivory, and human bones.

Xia Zhaoyi's gaze rested on several skull caps and bone flutes.

Xia Zhaoyi moved his fingers slightly, and wanted to reach out and take it away, but he was afraid.

After thinking about it, Xia Zhaoyi didn't take it and turned around.

Well, it may not be them.

Even if it was, she had no way to take it away now.

If you are left on the ground after a fight, you will also be abused.

Better... return to dust.

Not long after, a big fire broke out in Xuexiang Shenmu's study.

No one came to put out the fire for a long time, and Lord Zhu Xiuying and the masters around him had already died from arrows.

The concubines held their children tightly, and the maids and servants hid in the utility room at the back, staring at the fire in the sky, not daring to move.

The sky was filled with stratus clouds and dawn came slowly. The light penetrated through the extremely thick sea of ​​clouds, and the entire Lanze city was exceptionally quiet.

The deathly silence comes from the horrific assassination ruled by the girl named "Ali".

One after another, well-known names fell.

They are those rulers in power whose magnificent chariots pass by and everyone has to kneel down on the side of the road, not daring to look up at them.

They were high above, feared by all living beings but also worshipped and worshipped devoutly. And just like that, they were gone.

The ignorant children asked their parents, those adults and princes were all very powerful, why did they die?

The children's parents don't know either.

Many parents don’t even bother to know because the hole on their forehead causes them so much pain.

There was no medicine, no gauze, and a terrifying rumor was spreading very quickly among the people.

They said that the soldiers' daggers had cut too many people and there was a high possibility of horrible diseases.

There is no medicine to treat even a small wound. What if a terrible serious illness comes?

In the early morning light, Zhan Ning and Zhao Ya were about to go out when Xia Zhaoyi called them from behind.

"Second Miss!" Zhan Ning and Zhao Ya came back quickly.

Xia Zhaoyi never went through the front door, but would either go through the back door or climb in through the window upstairs.

"Are you going out like this?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at them, "Your forehead is too smooth."

Zhao Ya was about to talk about Chen Yongming, but he wiped his forehead and said, "Don't worry, at worst, we can beat them again like we did yesterday."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "You two had a great time, but have you forgotten what you had to do today?" Zhan Ning paused and said, "Yes... Fan Yu and Liang Dechang took a lot of effort to put the eyes here, we can't destroy them."

"Wait for me at the table," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, turning to go upstairs, "I'll go get the paint."

Xia Zhaoyi asked Lin Wumei not to go out for the next two days, so he wrapped a piece of gauze around her forehead.

But if Zhan Ning and Zhao Ya were wrapped in gauze, they would be really conspicuous walking on the street.

I can only use the old method and make a fake scar.

Xia Zhaoyi quickly went downstairs carrying the small wooden box and prepared to mix the paint.

Zhan Ning said in a low voice: "Second Miss, Chen Yongming is not in the clinic."

Xia Zhaoyi paused, then raised her bright eyes and looked at them.

Zhao Ya said: "He left...about a month ago."

"Well, did the people at the clinic say that he was fit to come back, or that he was not coming back?"

Zhan Ning shook his head: "It's not a good idea to delve too deeply into this matter. Chen Yongming is a Han Chinese. If we ask too much about him, it will arouse the vigilance of the clinic. Secondly, it's not a good idea to alert the enemy."

Xia Zhaoyi took a deep breath and said, "Well, you did the right thing."

Seeing her obviously lost expression, Zhan Ning and Zhao Ya felt uncomfortable.

Zhao Ya said: "Second Miss, it's okay. Chen Yongming has nowhere to go, and he will come back eventually."

"Yeah, he got away with it this time, but he won't be so lucky next time!"

Xia Zhaoyi nodded and lowered his head to continue mixing the paint.

The atmosphere seemed to become depressing all of a sudden.

Zhao Ya and Zhan Ning looked at each other carefully and sighed silently.

It has been a long time since I felt this heart-wrenchingly. I really don't want to see the second young lady, who is so energetic every day, become lost and depressed.

Soon, two wounds of similar size appeared on the foreheads of Zhan Ning and Zhao Ya respectively.

"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi put down the scissors and long needle, "The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back. We shouldn't stay in Lanze City any longer. When you come back, we will leave."

"Ok!"

This time, Zhan Ning and Zhao Ya went out to tell the "eyes" here a few things.

First, in the next half month, there is no need to send out any information related to Lan Ze City.

These "eyes" don't need to care about what happens, because no one in this world can tell what is true and what is false.

Including the second young lady herself who muddied the waters.

So it’s better to do nothing and just be lazy.

Second, there will be a war near Lanze City in the next half month. They don’t need to panic. This war may have a large impact, but it will not last more than seven days.

Because this assassination incident in Lan Ze City would definitely make Yi Shurong furious, his counterattack when he turns around would definitely be very fierce.

So we have to run away before he comes back, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Third, there were several letters that had to be sent out regularly by these "eyes", and all of them were made into secret letter styles, with handwritings from Shang Taiyu, Yi Shurong, Shang Taizhen, etc.

The days for delivery have been arranged, and they just need to follow them.

Among the three things, the third one is the most important.

If these "eyes" were not the people of Cangjin and Zhitu who did not know kung fu, Zhan Ning and Zhao Ya really wanted them to keep a close eye on Yixin Medical Clinic and kill Chen Yongming as soon as he showed up.

Leaving the warm little house, as soon as I went out, I was hit by cold wind and heavy snow.

Zhao Ya sighed deeply and finally cursed out loud: "Damn Chen Yongming, don't let him fall into our hands, or he will die miserably!"
