The strongest peasant girl in Xiuse Jinyuan

Chapter 698 Fire in the middle of the night, the golden cicada escapes its shell (2)
Hearing the noise, Ling Qi stopped jumping up, turned his head to look at the door, and saw four people coming, wearing dark robes with flame patterns.

Red Flame Guard.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, the four of them didn't dare to delay, they quickly stepped through the burning wooden door and walked into the room with a few steps.

Two of them each carried a corpse on their shoulders, a male corpse and a female corpse.

Entering the room, the two quickly walked to the bed and laid the body on the bed.

"My lord, I need to borrow the jade pendant on your body." A Chi Yanwei looked at the jade pendant hanging from Ling Qi's waist and said respectfully.

Ling Qi naturally knew what Chi Yanwei wanted the jade pendant on his body for.

If "Golden Cicada Escapes its Shell" gives up a piece of jade pendant, it will make that person think that he was buried in a sea of ​​flames, which is very good.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ling Qi took off the jade pendant around his waist without hesitation, and handed it to Chi Yanwei.

Chi Yanwei took the jade pendant, walked to the bed in two steps, bent down, and fastened the jade pendant to the waist of the male corpse on the bed.

After finishing everything, she said to Ling Qi and Yan Su: "My lord, my concubine, please wait with your subordinates."

Ling Qi nodded, grabbed Yan Su and followed the four of them out of the room.

Inside the inn, there was already a sea of ​​flames, thick smoke was billowing everywhere, crackling and crackling sounds could be heard endlessly, beams collapsed from time to time, and crashed to the ground.

Several people went down to the second floor, taking advantage of the thick smoke and the cover of the fire, they rushed to the backyard of the inn.

The backyard was empty and the fire was small, and several people stopped. One of the Chiyanwei lifted the manhole cover in the courtyard, then turned to Ling Qi and Yan Su, and said respectfully: "My lord, my concubine, here is a manhole. Dry well, the subordinates and others have opened up a tunnel, you can leave directly through this tunnel, but you have to wrong the prince and princess..."

Before Chi Yanwei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ling Qi.

Ling Qi glanced at him indifferently, and said, "No need to say more, just take advantage of the chaos and leave."

After saying a word, he picked up Yan Su, tapped his toes, jumped a few meters into the air, and fell into the dry well.

Seeing Ling Qi, Yan Su's figure had already entered the well, Chi Yanwei didn't dare to hesitate a bit, and hurriedly followed, the last one deliberately returned the well cover to its original position.

The inn is located on the outskirts of the town. In the middle of the night, few people would pass by here. In such a remote place, even watchmen would not come.

The fire was all over the sky, thick smoke was billowing, the sound of fire and crying could be heard endlessly, but they failed to alarm the people in the government.

A big fire burned for more than two hours, until the sky showed a twilight, and the fire gradually extinguished.

Under the black gauze hat, Guimian stared quietly at the pile of withered ruins in front of him with a pair of chilling eyes.

He looked at it for a moment, then raised one hand, waved at the subordinates behind him, and ordered in a cold voice: "Go in and search carefully, die! You want to see the corpse."

"Yes, Sect Master."

He gave an order, and a group of men in black behind him responded in unison. Immediately afterwards, 30 people rushed into the ruins in front of them and searched carefully.

After a group of men in black entered the ruins, Ghost Face stepped over the coke on the ground and walked in.

With the help of the faint skylight, twenty or thirty men in black have searched for more than half an hour.

At this time, someone suddenly said: "Sect master, this subordinate has found it."

Hearing the words, the ghost face walked towards the direction of the sound, and hurriedly said, "Where is the body of Prince Rui?"

"Master, this should be it." Hearing the urgent question from the ghost face, the man in black quickly pointed to the two corpses in the ruins.

The two corpses had been charred and blackened, and their original appearance could not be seen at all. One of the corpses was slightly slender, it should be a man, and the other corpse was a little petite, it should be a woman.

Although the two corpses had been scorched beyond human form, they still maintained a tightly embracing posture.

"Master, this subordinate took it from this corpse." While speaking, the man in black handed a stained jade pendant to Ghost Face's hand.

The ghost face took it casually, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

It was a top-quality piece of hollowed-out unicorn jade, the quality of the jade was transparent, and the color of the jade was warm. Although it had just been burned by the fire, it was only stained with a little stain of vegetation, and there were no burnt cracks on the whole body.

"Kirin Jade." Ghost Face held the jade pendant and said in a deep voice.

Back then, the first emperor got a piece of high-quality unicorn jade, and later, he gave it to King Rui, presumably, it must be this one.

The qilin jade has been found, so the two corpses in front of me should be Prince Rui and Princess Rui without a doubt.

Ghost Mian looked at the Qilin Jade in his hand, then at the two corpses on the ground, and made a conclusion in his heart. Then, he put away the Qilin Jade in his hand, glanced at his subordinates with indifferent eyes, and ordered in a cold voice Said: "Clean up, don't leave any traces."

"Yes, Sect Master."

In this room, Ling Qi, Yan Su and others escaped from the sea of ​​flames through the tunnel, and went straight to the inn two miles away.

"My lord, my concubine, the carriage has been prepared, and the Shizi has ordered you two to go to Guye City to take shelter for a while."

One of the Red Flame Guards cupped his hands.

Ling Qi didn't answer, but turned to look at Yan Su beside him, and said in a gentle voice: "Susu, what do you think?"

Yan Su recalled the incident just now, it was smoking, arson, and implicating innocent people for no reason. At this moment, she still has some lingering fears in her heart.

The two of them regard imperial power as nothing. They just want to live a quiet and ordinary life. It's so simple. Why is that person so worried and wants to kill them all? Maybe they can live a truly peaceful life by leaving Liangguo. Ordinary days.

After thinking about it, she looked at Ling Qi and sighed, "Qi, according to Jing'er's arrangement, let's go to Guye City."

"Yes." Ling Qi nodded with a smile, "We will go wherever you say."

After finishing speaking, the two got into the carriage, and under the escort of the four Chi Yanwei, they went straight to Guye City overnight.

Three days later, the Royal Study Room.

Emperor Chong was still dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting in front of the dragon table with a majestic expression and gloomy brows.

He pushed back the maids and eunuchs on the left and right, and in the large imperial study room, there was only a ghostly face in black standing in front of him.

Ghost Mian took out the unicorn jade pendant from his bosom, took two steps forward, respectfully handed the jade pendant to Emperor Chong, and said: "Master, what you have told me has been done."

"This jade pendant was taken from King Rui's corpse."

Emperor Chong reached out to take the jade pendant, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, rubbing the engravings on the jade pendant with his slightly cool fingertips.

"Kirin Jade."

He lowered a pair of deep eyes, his cold and dark gaze focused on the jade pendant in his hand, his expression was thoughtful, and he passed by tragically.
