Chapter 995 Who Set the Fire

Ning Cheng handed the prepared secret letter to Bai Yuqiao, "Immediately send it to the Wanshang Palace. Also, if the matter of Tranquility's pregnancy is revealed, our cooperation will be terminated!"

Apart from being unable to rescue people, Bai Yuqiao still had a lot of power in the tiger prison, and it was still possible to arrange for her own people to guard Tranquility and Mu Linger.

At this juncture, even if Han Yunxi and Long Feiye were able to save people, they should not act rashly, otherwise Jun Yixie would definitely change his mind and be more cautious about sending troops northward.

Therefore, what Ning Cheng can do now is to protect Mu Linger and Tranquility for a limited time.

Bai Yuqiao's refuge was his luck, and it was also the luck of Tranquility and Mu Linger.Without Bai Yuqiao, no one would have known that the situation would have developed to this point.

Bai Yuqiao had no choice, she grabbed the secret letter fiercely and put it in her sleeve, "Ning Cheng, remember what you said today, my senior brother is going to die, I will definitely let you die!"

Bai Yuqiao left in a hurry.Ning Cheng let out a foul breath. He knew that the matter was settled, and the rest was just waiting...

If one day Jun Yixie finds out about today's arrangement, which greatly facilitates the cooperation between Ning Cheng and Long Feiye, how will he regret it?
When Han Yunxi and the others received this last letter from Ning Cheng, it was already early morning.The civil war in Northern Calendar has begun.

When Han Yunxi and the others got the news of the outbreak of the civil war and received a letter from Ning Cheng, they could finally relax for a while.The situation was better than they expected, and the time was a few days earlier than they expected.

As long as they are sure that Tranquility and Linger are safe for the time being, they can go south with confidence.

Bai Yuqiao not only sent a secret letter from Ning Cheng, but also a secret letter from Tranquility.

This secret letter was naturally addressed to Tang Li.

Tang Li squatted aside, watching quietly by himself.In fact, there is not much content, but he read it three times and started to read from the first word again.

"Tang Li, what did you write in the letter?" Long Feiye asked.

"Write to me!" Tang Li replied.

With his answer like this, everyone knew that this letter had nothing to do with the overall situation, it was a private conversation between the husband and wife.

In fact, Ning Cheng's secret letter did not specify the location of the tiger prison, but Tranquility's letter clearly stated that she had asked Bai Yuqiao about it in detail.

I don't know what else Tranquility wrote, but Tang Li was very calm, not noisy, and he took the initiative to say, "Brother, you should go back early, I will wait here, and if there is any news, I will report to you right away. you."

You all know where your wife and children are imprisoned, but you can calm down and wait. How much reason does this need?

What was written in Tranquility's letter?
Everyone guessed that Tang Li's calmness had something to do with Tranquility's letter, but they didn't ask much.

"Princess, Your Highness, it would be a burden for my subordinates to go south with me. It would be better if my subordinates stay behind as well. Firstly, I can assist Tang Sect Master, and secondly, it is also convenient to handle the affairs of Medical City and Medicine Ghost Hall." Gu Beiyue said earnestly.

The Santu Black Market really needs someone to stay and negotiate with the Wanshang Palace.Tang Li, the son-in-law of the Di clan, couldn't be more suitable.Tang Li was impatient, and with the help of a calm person like Gu Beiyue, Han Yunxi and Long Feiye couldn't be more at ease.

Both of them immediately nodded in agreement.

If you go south earlier, you can indeed come back earlier to save people.

In the spring of next year, Jun Yixie and Emperor Beili were almost at war. After they came back, they must save people first, and then slowly deal with Jun Yixie.

In fact, Long Feiye was even more impatient than Tang Li. He wished he could tear Jun Yixie into pieces immediately, and help Han Yunxi protect Han Yunxi from her revenge.It's just that he hid it all in his heart and didn't show it.

He said lightly, "Let's set off tonight, no one is allowed to delay, and strive to arrive at Qingchuan Water City within half a month!"

Although their plans were very thorough, Bai Yanqing was always an immeasurable factor that would affect their actions at any time.

Therefore, this trip to the south is not only time-consuming, but also a heavy task.They not only want to find the Qisha of the Dagger, but also continue to inquire about the news of the Fire of Ten Thousand Poisons.

For people like Bai Yanqing who are hard to guard against, the only change is to control all the medicines of Butterfly Dream as soon as possible.

It was night, after Han Yunxi and the others bid farewell to Tang Li, they secretly left Donglai Palace without even alarming Wanshang Palace.

Their whereabouts represented their safety, and Long Feiye would never allow them to be exposed unless necessary.

Although time was tight, Long Feiye still arranged for a carriage, reluctant to let Han Yunxi run around too much.He and Han Yunxi's carriage drove forward, with Baili Mingxiang and Xu Donglin behind.

Gu Qishao didn't like carriages, he led the way on horseback, his speed was extremely fast, luckily Gao Bo and Xu Donglin were good at driving and could catch up.

Fortunately, Long Feiye's carriage was solid and stable enough, otherwise, at their speed, it would be impossible not to overturn.

They went south day by day, and the civil war in the northern calendar became more and more intense day by day.On the fifteenth day, Han Yunxi and the others really arrived at Qingchuan Water City.

Qingchuan Water City is located at the junction of the South Central Governor's Mansion and Tian'an, and is under the jurisdiction of Tian'an. It is an ancient city with a long history.It is also a very famous water city in Tianan.

The reason why it is called the water city is that there are hundreds of water systems in this city, criss-crossing, and there are rivers flowing through the door of every household, and rivers flow through the front and back of every household, and boats are also necessary for every household.Almost all traffic in the city is by boat.

Unlike other water cities, Qingchuan Water City has a great feature, that is, this water city is in the shape of a gossip, with a total of eight gates.The hundreds of water systems in the city actually formed intricate branches after the eight main water systems flowed into them.And the eight city gates were built on the eight main water systems.

The center of Qingchuan Water City is a large lake named Yinqing Lake. The houses are distributed in a circle around this lake, and they are built circle by circle.If you stand at the highest point, every household lights up at night, and you will see a beautiful spectacle of gossip.

At this moment, it is night.Han Yunxi and the others had already entered the city, so they sat on the boat and went to the inn where they were staying.Strange to say, once entering the city, the waterways are very lively, with lights on both sides, many boats passing by, and laughter.Many people still sang songs on the boat.But the further they went to the center of the city, the fewer the lights, and the deserted the waterways.

It stands to reason that the center of the city should be more prosperous and lively, but this Qingchuan Water City is actually the opposite.

Long Feiye's spies found out that two months ago, a strange incident happened in Qingchuan Water City. Women were killed every few days, and there have been six of them so far.Moreover, the method of death of the deceased is the same, the abdomen was stabbed, and the murder weapon was determined to be a dagger.

However, after Wu conducted an autopsy, it was found that the cause of death of the women was not abdominal injuries, but bleeding from the seven orifices.As for the reason for the bleeding from the seven orifices, it has not been found out so far.

Now, all the corpses are frozen in the Yizhuang, and the inn where Han Yunxi and the others are staying is near the Yizhuang.

"Why are there fewer and fewer people?" Han Yunxi asked.

Seeing that no one answered her, the old boatman opened his mouth, "Yinqing Lake has been full of weird things since ancient times, and everyone dare not get too close. Many Fengshui masters have said that the closer you are to Yinqing Lake in this water city, the Fengshui is not good. The city is not lively at all, and there were several murders by the lake a while ago, so it is even more deserted."

The old boatman asked, "Is this the first time for the guest officials to come to Qingchuan Water City? It's not fun here. If you have nothing to do, the old man advises you to go back quickly."

Although Han Yunxi and the others were dressed up in disguise, they couldn't hide their aura.At first glance, it is either rich or expensive.The old boatman didn't dare to say much at first, but only after hearing Han Yunxi speak did he dare to remind him.

Before Han Yunxi and the others came, they had clearly investigated all the murder cases.Han Yunxi said this because she wanted to get to know the boatman better and see if what they heard was true.

Sure enough, after some conversation, the situation is similar.

The dead are all women, and the method of death is the same, which proves that the murderer is the same person, and now they have only one thing to be sure of.Was the bleeding from the seven orifices of the six women due to poisoning?

As long as the corpse is still there, it will not be difficult for Han Yunxi to find out.

After arriving at the inn, Han Yunxi originally planned to go directly to Yizhuang, but seeing that it was late at night, she was afraid that the double cultivation would be delayed, so she had to give up.

Gu Qishao was not restless at all, seeing Han Yunxi and Long Feiye entering the house, he quietly left the inn and went to Yizhuang...

Running around for days, even in a carriage, was very tiring, and Han Yunxi did not delay the practice of the drug storage space.

After she and Long Feiye finished their homework, they fell asleep exhausted.However, the next morning, they were woken up by loud noises outside.

When she and Long Feiye packed up and opened the door, they saw Xu Donglin and Baili Mingxiang were already outside.

"What happened?" Long Feiye asked.

"Your Highness, the Yizhuang is on fire!" Xu Donglin replied.

Long Feiye and Han Yunxi rushed out in a hurry.Standing on the terrace on the second floor of the inn, the two of them could see Yizhuang not far away, which had already turned into a sea of ​​flames.

There are waterways in the front and back of Yizhuang, so it is very easy to put out the fire. How could the fire burn so vigorously?

"When did it happen?" Long Feiye asked.

"What happened just now suddenly caught fire, and there was no time to save it." Xu Donglin replied truthfully.

"Have you run out of oil?" Han Yunxi said seriously, "Long Feiye, let's go and have a look."

No matter what the reason for this fire, it must be man-made, and it is very likely that the corpses they want to investigate will be destroyed.

The time is too fast, otherwise, they should have passed last night.

"Where's Gu Qishao?" Long Feiye asked.

With such a big commotion, Gu Qishao should not have been woken up.

"I haven't seen anyone in the morning, maybe it's already gone?" Xu Donglin replied.

What Long Feiye was least worried about was Gu Qishao. He didn't ask any further questions, and immediately took Han Yunxi to Yizhuang.

As soon as they approached that place, Han Yunxi smelled a strong smell of grease.Someone must have used a lot of lamp oil, and the fire would burn all of a sudden.

With such a big fire, even if the body was frozen, it would have been burned long ago.

"Isn't this a coincidence?" Han Yunxi said angrily.

Long Feiye was also very regretful, but the double cultivation last night had to be carried out again.He said lightly, "Let's go, let's see what the government can find out."

Han Yunxi didn't leave, "Wait a minute, if there are some bones left, maybe we can still test them."

The poison that bleeds from the seven orifices must be extremely poisonous, and it can easily penetrate into the bones, so the bones are Han Yunxi's last hope.

They sat down in a nearby teahouse and waited quietly for the fire to be extinguished.

Helpless, at night, the fire did not subside a little.And Xu Donglin looked for Gu Qishao for a day, but he couldn't find anyone.

He hurried back and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Princess, Gu Qishao is gone!"
