Chapter 280 The Blood Book

Di Ying took the corner of the clothes in a daze, until he saw two wavy lines drawn with blood on it, and a circle on the line, Di Ying's face instantly became serious.

He looked at Ben Boerba, who was eating too much, and hurriedly asked: "Did that brother Fan Tong say anything else?"

"Oh, yes!" Ben Bo'erba rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "He said, 'The ancestors have manifested, let me take care of the things at home'."

"Only these?" Di Feng frowned, his expression full of doubts.

"Only these, you remember to put a few sticks of high incense on his ancestors, so that with his ancestors' blessing, he will not have any accidents!" After saying this, Ben Boerba reached out to take a roast goose, and left in a hurry Di Ying didn't even have time to ask what happened.

"Master, why is this man talking so crazy?" the butler asked with a puzzled expression.

Di Ying looked down at the bloody book, pondering over the meaning of that sentence. After a while, he hurriedly asked, "Old Wang, where is General Huangfu's house?"

"Master, General Huangfu's home is in Beicheng, but he should be on duty in the palace now. Master, are you going to find him?" the butler asked curiously.

Di Ying thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Prepare the sedan chair and go to the palace immediately."

The housekeeper nodded yes, and ran to arrange carriages.

In front of the gate of the palace, Huangfu Kun hung a sharp sword at his waist, carefully checking everyone who entered and exited the palace gate.

Since talking with King Jianning last night, Huangfu Kun has realized the seriousness of the matter, so since last night, Huangfu Kun has been guarding in front of the palace gate, carefully observing everyone who enters and exits the palace gate.

Soon, a carriage stopped at the side of the palace gate, and Di Ying jumped out of the carriage. After seeing Huangfu Kun, he hurried over.

"General Huangfu, General Huangfu!" Di Ying hurriedly yelled as she walked.

"Brother Di? Why did you come here?" Huangfu Kun asked slightly surprised.

"General Huangfu, it's not good, something happened!" Di Ying said anxiously.

"Why is it in such a hurry?" Huangfu Kun asked.

Di Ying took out the blood book from her bosom, handed it to Huangfu Kun, and said, "General, someone gave me this just now."

Huangfu Kun unfolded the blood book curiously. Apart from two wavy lines and a circle on it, there was no other explanation. He asked in puzzlement, "What does this mean?"

"This is the logo agreed upon by Canghai and Qing'er. The waves represent Canghai, and the beads represent Qing'er. It means: the only pearl left in the Canghai is 'Qing'." Di Ying explained as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"You mean, this thing was sent by Canghai?" Huangfu Kun was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Where is he now?"

"I don't know about that either. This blood book was sent by a dwarf, and he also brought a sentence." Di Ying shook her head and said hastily.

"What did you say?" Huangfu Kun was delighted in his heart, receiving this blood book meant that Li Canghai was still alive, and it was very likely that he was secretly fighting against the 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' as he had guessed.

However, he is not too optimistic.Li Canghai must be in danger of life and death now, and he will be in danger of his life at any time, otherwise he would not have written these words with blood as ink.

"'The ancestors have appeared, you must take care of everything at home.' These are the words that the man brought back." Di Ying said.

Huangfu Kun was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong. It was not until he confirmed it again that he looked at Di Ying blankly, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Di, what is the meaning of this?"

Di Ying shook her head, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I was also confused, but I thought that Cang Hai ordered someone to deliver the blood book, and I must be in danger, so I came to the general for help."

With his hands behind his back, Huangfu Kun kept chanting these two sentences.But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason.

"These words must have other meanings, how about this, you follow me to find the prince, the prince is smart and wise, and he will be able to guess the meaning."

Di Ying nodded and sighed, "It's the only way to go now."

After making some arrangements for his subordinates, the two left the palace and headed for Jianning Palace.

In the main hall of the palace, Li Tan held a blood book in his hand and listened carefully to what the two said.

"My lord, what do you think should be done now?" Huangfu Kun asked with his brows furrowed.

Li Tan put down the blood book, and pondered: "If this blood book was really sent by Li Canghai, it means that he is in danger now. As for that sentence..." Li Tan paused, and thought deeply: "Since he used code words , he must have discovered something, since this code word was brought to Di Ying, it shows that Di Ying should know the meaning, but in order to prevent the leak of information, he deliberately said it so cryptically."

Huangfu Kun nodded: "What the lord said is very true. But what exactly does Cang Hai want to tell us?"

"Since Cang Hai asked someone to bring this sentence, it means that he knows that someone can guess the meaning, otherwise why would he bother to use code words?" Li Tan took a few steps and said suddenly: "Let's analyze this sentence Let’s see if we can find anything.”

"First of all, the ancestors have manifested. Regarding this sentence, what do you two think it means?" Li Tan asked.

Huangfu Kun stroked his beard, thought for a while and said, "I've never heard Cang Hai mention anything about his ancestors. Could it be that he is implying that this matter has something to do with his ancestors?"

Li Tan shook his head, denying his guess, "Other than him, no one else knows about Li Canghai's life experience, especially about his ancestors. I don't think he is hinting at this."

"If it doesn't mean that, what would it mean? Canghai is true. There are as many people in this world as a cow's hair. Whose ancestors have manifested, you should remind me!" Huangfu Kun patted his head, a little dejected.

He is a general, so it is no problem to ask him to lead troops to fight, but asking him to guess this word game is simply a kind of torture.

"Could it be that the ancestors he mentioned are not his ancestors, but a metaphor?" Li Tan pondered.

This sentence gave Di Ying a hint, and he shouted, "I know! I know what it means!"

Li Tan and Huangfu Kun looked at him in surprise, Huangfu Kun hurriedly asked: "What is the meaning?"

Di Ying collected her thoughts and said, "General, do you still remember why Cang Hai came to Luoyang?"

Huangfu Kun was stunned for a moment, and he nodded: "Of course I remember. It was something strange happened in Brother Di's house, that's why I invited Cang Hai to come here."

"Yes, this is a family matter of my Di family, so I have never mentioned it to outsiders. The so-called weird thing is that members of my Di family have seen their ancestors appearing."

Huangfu Kun stared at the boss, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the ancestor that Brother Di said was Grandfather Huaiying?"

Di Ying nodded, and he sighed, "However, Cang Hai found out that the so-called ancestor was actually pretended by someone with a heart after investigating in my Di family."
