Chapter 38 Battle (2)
But Long Xining shook his head resolutely and said: "How could it be for that matter. No matter how free my third brother is, he would not pursue such a small case. Besides, Xiao Zidan didn't mean that Jingzhao Yin's yamen would not have any clues." Are you planning to continue the investigation? Take ten thousand steps back, even if you are really investigated, with me here, who would dare to do anything to you. That little rascal dares to bully you, and taking his life is considered light. It would be me , he must be reincarnated as a pig in his next life."

Huaiying: "..."

"My third brother, don't think too much, just rest earlier. I'll ask him in person tomorrow, and he won't hide it from me anymore." After Long Xining finished speaking, he blinked his eyes suddenly. He asked expectantly, "Do you really want me to sleep with you? It's so cold, and the wind outside is howling and howling. It makes me feel so miserable. It's better for me to stay with you."

Huaiying rolled her eyes angrily and drove the person away.

As expected, Long Xining kept his promise. Early the next morning, he went to the National Teacher's Mansion to ask his third brother for questioning. When he didn't want to enter the mansion, he was told that Master Guoshi had already entered the palace.

"He went to the palace?" Long Xining frowned and stood there for a while.No one knows better than Long Xining how lazy Long Xiyan is. Otherwise, with his understanding and intelligence, he is obviously nearly a thousand years older than Long Xining, but his cultivation level is not as good.As far as Long Xining knew, his third brother had lived in the capital for so many years, and he had never been to the morning court. Is the sun coming out from the west today?It really is very wrong!

However, what did he rush to the palace for?Could it be that Du Heng was instigated to go to Xiao's house last night?But what is Du Heng asking about these things?
The more Long Xining thought about it, the more strange he felt. After thinking about it for a while, he simply went straight to the palace—he just went to find Du Heng!

"Who are you talking about? That little girl from the Xiao family? The one I saw in the temple last time, the one with your Wulang?" Du Heng was a little dizzy, pressed the corners of his eyes, and shook his head again, Said, "Speak more clearly, I'm a little dizzy right now, and I can't quite react."

"Hmm." Long Xiyan ate a mouthful of jade glutinous rice balls in a small porcelain bowl without haste, and replied casually, "I reckon it's her."

"What do you mean by guessing?" Du Heng became anxious immediately, "Can't you be sure?"

Long Xiyan gave him an annoyed look, took a sip of the soup, and continued, "I'm not her real brother, so I can't be sure, it's just a guess. When you saw her last time, didn't you also say that the little girl The delicate and pretty look is pleasing to the eye? This is fate."

Seeing that Du Heng was still glaring at him sideways, he finally put down the porcelain bowl in his hand helplessly, and said, "Her breath is completely restrained, otherwise, Goro would have noticed something was wrong. Anyway, I can't see it. Otherwise, you should go and see for yourself.”

Du Heng said again: "Tell me more carefully, why do you think it's a little girl from the Xiao family? By the way, what's her name?"

"Huaiying."

Du Heng immediately smiled: "Huaiying, a good name."

Long Xiyan looked at him speechlessly, really couldn't see what was so good about the name.Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Du Heng urged: "Why are you dumb, talk quickly. How do you know that Huaiying is our Ah Wu?"

"There were only two girls in that room, one was Huaiying, and the other was the younger sister of Meng Yao, the governor of Jingzhaoyin Yamen. I also saw that little girl later. If she goes in time, I'm afraid she will lose her life right now. If she is the third princess, those monsters will die immediately if they have any wrong intentions. How can they wait until now? Of course, there are still two men left, one It's Xiao Ling, and the other is the old housekeeper of the Meng Mansion, half of his beard and hair are gray, if you think they are your third younger sister, then that's okay, they're not my sister anyway..."

Du Heng got goosebumps from what he said, and said repeatedly: "Stop it! Can you stop being so disgusting?" Their family's good third princess was called a bad old man by Long Xiyan, it's really weird heart.

Long Xiyan picked up the porcelain bowl and continued to eat glutinous rice balls.Before I finished eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls, I heard a report from the palace outside that the fourth son of the Long family asked to see me.Long Xiyan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but he wasn't surprised: "I chased him so quickly, the news is quite well-informed."

Instead, Du Heng became a little nervous, and asked in a low voice, "What should I do? Do you want to tell Wu Lang about this?"

Long Xiyan glanced at him angrily, and mocked in a low voice: "Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite honest." Du Heng immediately understood what he meant, and coughed twice uncomfortably.He is not such an uninitiated person in normal times, but this matter is unusual after all, and Long Xining and Huaiying are so... close, Du Heng inevitably thinks about other things.

As soon as the two of them were talking, Long Xining had already rushed into the house. Seeing that his third brother and Du Heng were both there, he stopped beating around the bush and asked, "Brother Du Heng asked my third brother to go to Xiao's house." Ask about yesterday? Is there anything you can't let me know, and you deliberately avoid me?"

"That's what you said," Du Heng replied flatly, "There is a god in the heaven who came down to earth privately, and something happened. I asked your elder brother to inquire everywhere. But don't worry, the Xiao family has nothing to do with this matter. "After all, he is the son of the Emperor of Heaven. Putting on airs is a basic skill, and putting on airs can still fool people.

Long Xining looked at him suspiciously for a while, and asked, "Really? Why do I feel that you two are hiding something important from me?" He immediately turned his firepower on Long Xiyan again, and said, "That one from yesterday Who is the black cloak, the third brother knows in his heart? Although I have never fought against him, I always feel that he is unfathomable."

"Ahem——" Long Xiyan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He was preoccupied with the matter of the third princess all day yesterday, and he never thought about the black cloak at all. Asked, suddenly speechless, "Well... I haven't found any news yet, he suddenly appeared, and there was no movement in the capital, so I really can't find it."

To make Long Xining say the "unfathomable" evaluation, that black cloak is by no means an ordinary person.But such a big devil suddenly appeared in the capital, he didn't notice it at all, why didn't even Du Heng feel it at all?
While thinking, Long Xiyan gave Du Heng a questioning look, but Du Heng just shook his head silently.Long Xining didn't get the answer he wanted, and he was very unhappy, so he went back angrily.As soon as he left, Du Heng hurriedly said: "I'll change my clothes, and you will accompany me to Loofah Lane later."

After thinking about it, he will leave the palace gate, and the servants of the National Teacher's Mansion came to report in a hurry, saying that there is something strange outside the city.

"What's strange?" Long Xiyan asked with a frown.

The servant also frowned, as if hesitating how to respond: "We found two female corpses." He paused, glanced at Long Xiyan unnaturally, and whispered, "The two corpses There is still a bit of evil spirit left on the body, it seems that they fought against the fifth son yesterday. Moreover, the subordinates feel that the cause of their death seems a little strange."

Long Xiyan was stunned: "Are they dead?" This is very strange, I clearly remembered that Long Xining said that although the two witches were injured, their lives were safe, why did they suddenly die at this moment? .Who will do it?
Long Xiyan glanced at Du Heng, who frowned slightly and nodded slightly, saying: "Then let's go outside the city and have a look." Anyway, he is now the emperor of the mortal world, and he should take on the responsibility of the emperor. However, if there are any harmful monsters in the capital, he should take action to maintain the safety of the capital.

After all, the two of them had unusual identities, they dared not ride a horse when they went out, and took a carriage all the way out of the city.

The two female corpses were in a forest in the west of the city. Due to the different death conditions, the guards did not dare to move the corpses at will, and only quickly reported the news.

Long Xiyan quickly walked up to the two female corpses for a look, then quickly turned his face away, shook his head and said, "It should be them, but it's really strange, they died this morning, and the inner alchemy has been destroyed." .” Who did this?Black cloak?Since they are accomplices, why kill them?

Du Heng frowned and said nothing, turned around and got into the carriage again.

"What do you think?" Du Heng asked suddenly on the carriage back.

Long Xiyan shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly, "It seems that something is wrong. The inner alchemy of the female corpses has been destroyed, so it can be seen that they were not killed by serious injuries, but were killed by external forces. But they only have their own evil spirit on them, and there is no murderer." I’m afraid this murderer is not simple.” If that is also a member of the Demon Realm, why bother to hide it like this, I’m afraid...it’s someone from the same way.

If this is the case, the Three Realms may be in chaos again.

This matter cannot be resolved in a short while, Du Heng thought for a while, then put it aside for the time being, and told the palace servants to continue walking in the direction of Loofah Lane.After a while, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the alley.

Even if Du Hengdang wanted to get off the carriage, he was stopped by Long Xiyan, and he persuaded him helplessly: "You are not afraid to scare people by rushing in so recklessly? That girl Huaiying is very courageous and open-minded." , I won’t panic when I see you, but there are other people in that house. Besides, our Goro lives next door, so we have to rush over immediately when we hear the noise. I’ll see you again then, I’m afraid your words It doesn't work anymore."

Du Heng became anxious immediately: "I'm all at the door, but you won't let me in. You should have said earlier, you should stop me when you come out."

Long Xiyan started rubbing his temples again, and said weakly: "I really don't know how to say hello. It's like a different person when I meet the third princess. I'm so stupid when I see it. You can't go in, why don't you go in?" Can't think of a way to call out the little girl? Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you continue like this, sooner or later you will become like our Goro."

Du Heng yelled at him angrily, got out of the carriage and went to the tea house on the street, and said as he went up the stairs: "Hurry up, don't keep me waiting."

"Understood, ancestor!" Long Xiyan shook his head while whispering instructions to the guards waiting by the carriage.The servant got the order, nodded, and quickly walked towards the loofah alley.

"What did you say?" Huaiying looked at the visitor outside the door in bewilderment, "Master Guoshi wants to ask me about painting skills?" Is this a lie?Would she believe such a lie that couldn't be more false?However, even if she knew in her heart that this was just a poor excuse, Huaiying really couldn't refuse.

She was almost sure now that Long Xiyan's visits to the door these times were all for her, but Huaiying had no idea what the reason was.

She thought about it, but didn't tell Long Xining that he could stop him once, but not for a lifetime. Long Xiyan would eventually find a chance to come to his door, and then it might be even more troublesome.

Huaiying went back to the house and changed into clean clothes. She didn't bring any painting or painting utensils, so she went out empty-handed. Before leaving, she said to Xiao Zidan: "I'm going to buy some braised pork at the entrance of the alley. Dad likes to eat."

Huaiying walked not fast, even slow, but the guards of the National Teacher's Mansion did not rush, and stood a few steps diagonally in front of her and looked at her with a slight smile.Seeing his easy-going attitude, Huaiying guessed that it might not be a bad thing for Long Xiyan to call her over, otherwise, those guards must be vicious.

However, soon, she felt that she might have guessed wrong.After all, Long Xining lived next door to her house, so how could this guard dare to mess around.So, what did Long Xiyan want her for?

She struggled all the way to the teahouse.The guard led her to the door of the private room and stopped going any further. After knocking on the door, he stepped aside.

Huaiying bit the bullet and pushed the door open, and the two gods in the room also raised their heads. Huaiying was stunned when he saw Du Heng.

What does this do?

"Huaiying is here, sit down quickly." Long Xiyan got up and greeted enthusiastically.Huaiying was a little flattered, and was about to kneel down to salute, but was quickly stopped by Long Xiyan, "Sit down, sit down, we are old friends, there is no need to come to these empty salutes. Right, Ah Heng."

Du Heng also nodded very gently towards Huaiying.

Old...old friend?Huaiying felt that the atmosphere in the room was more and more strange, she didn't even dare to say anything, she just smirked with a stiff face.

Long Xiyan didn't seem to notice Huaiying's embarrassment, and greeted Huaiying with his usual expression, Huaiying's mind was always tense, and his whole body was stiff.

"...By the way," Long Xiyan exchanged pleasantries for a long time, as if he suddenly remembered something, and pretended to ask casually, "Miss Huaiying, do you think there is anything unusual about you?"

unusual!Huaiying's mind suddenly rang an alarm bell, what do you mean?What the hell are they up to?
What on earth do these fairies want to do?Don't care about so many big things in the sky and the earth, and ignore the monsters who kill and set fire, why come to trouble her?
Huaiying blinked, looked at the two of them with a blank face, and asked in a daze, "What? What did you say? What's wrong? Well, I've been suffering from insomnia recently, does that count?"

Long Xiyan pressed his forehead and gave Du Heng a helpless wink.Du Heng couldn't think of any solution for a while. He had tried it with spiritual power, but Huaiying didn't respond at all, but he also knew that it didn't mean they found the wrong person.How could the dormant aura in her body be awakened again?

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Huaiying thought about leaving, and tentatively said in a low voice: "I... came out in a hurry, and I didn't tell my family."

"Are you in a hurry to go back?" Du Heng immediately guessed what she meant.Huaiying laughed dryly twice: "That... is indeed a bit. I wonder if Your Majesty has any other orders?" She always felt that Du Heng and Long Xiyan were very strange today, a little secretive, and they always stared at him. Looking at himself up and down, his gaze was very kind, and his painting style was very wrong.
