Spirit rhinoceros

Chapter 75

Because Xuangu Kingdom signed a covenant with the East China Sea Government, the nets are not allowed in summer and autumn, so there is no fishing fire on the sea at this time, it is dark and deep, only the sound of waves crashing on the shore.

Mo Long couldn't help thinking silently, what is Lingxi doing now?But sleep?Or sitting alone on the top floor of the tower, waiting to hear the whale's song.With such hustle and bustle on the sea, who would have imagined how silent it would be in the depths of the sea...

The protective black jade was given to her, and that black jade had the fox spirit infused by his mother with the Qingqiu Forbidden Technique before she died. Without this black jade, he might not have survived the thunder punishment, and was cursed by the blood. Sometimes, the spiritual power will be lost.Let it protect the consonance, coupled with Xue Lanhe's promise, other than that, he really has no other choice.

It was almost midnight, and drowsiness began to creep up bit by bit. He was about to go back to the house, when he suddenly noticed something flashing past the sea in the distance from the corner of his eyes. A red light flashed, but I couldn't see what it was.

Recalling that among the few people, Bai Xi once ate Cangmu grass on the top of Yuezhi Mountain by chance. She had the best eyesight and could see through invisibility. Bai Xi asked him to help him find out what was on the surface of the sea.

Suddenly awakened by him, Bai Xi was sleepy, rubbed her eyes vigorously, looked towards the sea, and when the red light flashed again, said: "It looks like a boat, it's too far away, the people on board can't see clearly."

"It's a boat." Mo Long couldn't hide the disappointment in his tone. He still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that maybe Lingxi sneaked out to find him.

Bai Xi yawned: "Strange, it should be a fishing boat, why don't you even dare to light the lights?"

Mo Long said: "You can't get off the net in summer and autumn. The boat must have gone into the sea secretly, so I dare not light the lamp. Sorry to trouble you, go back to sleep."

"It's okay..." Bai Xi yawned again, and shuffled back to the house.

The sea breeze whistled past her ears, Mo Long stood in front of the house, sighed softly, thinking that tomorrow she would leave for Qingqiu, she was getting farther and farther away from Lingxi, and she didn't know when she would see her again.

Early in the morning, just as the sun was rising, everyone was awakened by the noise from outside.Mo Long slept with her clothes together, and her sleep was light. She was the first to wake up and opened the door to go out. Seeing the panic and fear on the faces of the villagers in this fishing village, she seemed to have been frightened by something.

"Auntie, what's the matter?" he asked a woman hurrying back to the house.

"He's dead! Just on the beach, he died a miserable death... The people in Donghai Mansion are too cruel!" The woman wiped her tears as she spoke, "Even if it's fishing stealing, if you catch him and send him to the official, why bother?" Killing people is too cruel..."

While talking, Dong Lichang and others also left the house, and they were all shocked when they heard this.

Mo Long hurried to the beach, everyone hurriedly followed, Xia Houfeng was the most impatient, he ran fast, and rushed to the front.

On the beach, a small fishing boat was stranded, surrounded by many villagers talking, probably because the scene inside the boat was too horrifying, although these villagers surrounded it, no one dared to approach it.Xia Houfeng pushed aside the crowd and took a closer look. Even though he himself was a roaring beast in the mountains, he still couldn't help looking away, a turbid air churned in his chest, and he almost wanted to vomit.

Seeing Mo Long walk in, Xia Houfeng stood in front of him and said, "The attack is so ruthless, you have to think about it before watching!"

Mo Long nodded, pushed him away, and looked into the fishing boat—there were two bloody corpses in the fishing boat, the skin from head to toe had been peeled off, and the two human skins were placed next to the corpses. The face on it is hideous, distorted and terrifying.

Taking a breath, Mo Long didn't start, and didn't want to take a second look. She wondered in her heart, is this the same boat she saw last night?If yes, what is the flashing red light?Also, why did the villagers in the fishing village identify the incident as the work of the Donghai government?
Dong Lichang and Bai Xi both poked their heads to take a look, Dong Lichang was okay, Bai Xi was really frightened, hid aside and vomited, even vomited out bile and bitter water.Xiahou Fengyuan wanted to ridicule him a few words, but after seeing how pitiful he was, he became sympathetic, picked a coconut from the tree, opened it, and rinsed Bai Xi's mouth.

Hearing all the fishermen scolding Donghai Mansion, Dongli Chief couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "How can we be sure that people from Donghai did this?"

A dark man said angrily: "In the past, our Xuangu country used to peel fish skins to make clothes, and the people in Donghai had great opinions. But after the war with Donghai, we have signed a document, and the people of Xuangu country will no longer make fish. Leather clothes, no shark fin fishing, no torture and killing of the East China Sea aquarium, and no nets in summer and autumn. How can the East China Sea actually torture and kill my Xuangu people!"

"Could it be that they fished secretly, caught the fish and skinned it?" Dong Lichang asked.

"No! I recognize the brothers of the Qu family. Someone in the city wanted to order two black pomfrets weighing seven or eight catties yesterday, and they offered a high price. We knew the rules and dared not accept them. Mr. Qu was short of money, so I thought he would accept them." After making this list, I urged my second child to go to sea with him, but I never expected to encounter such a catastrophe."

Mo Long was listening, her brows deeply frowned—although Qingyue is decisive and unambiguous, she doesn't act like such a radical person. For example, she hates herself so much, and she still throws a banquet and presents jewelry, which is polite , so that people can not find fault.Now that Donghai and Xuanguo have signed a contract, even if there are fishermen stealing fish, they should be judged by law, and such cruel death penalty will never be used like this.

Could there be another reason?That red light... Mo Long thought about it, and hurriedly walked to Bai Xi's side, "You still remember the red light you saw last night, think about it carefully, what is that red light, is it fire light?"

Just as Bai Xi turned blue from vomiting, she sat on the ground, hugged the coconut and thought about it for a while, then slowly shook her head and said, "I just saw a flicker, it must be the candles they lit... I really can't see clearly."

Knowing that the distance was too far last night, it was really no wonder that Bai Xi was there, Mo Long patted him on the shoulder: "If you feel uncomfortable, go back, the smell of blood is too heavy here."

Bai Xi nodded, hands and feet were limp, struggling to stand up.Xia Houfeng couldn't bear to watch him from the sidelines, so he simply threw him on his back: "Forget it, I'll carry you back, look at your worthless appearance."

"Thank you..." Bai Xi didn't even have the strength to argue, and let Xia Houfeng carry her on her back.

Looking at the fishing boat for the last time, Dongli sighed and said to Mo Long, "Let's go too."

Mo Long didn't move, but looked at Dong Lichang.

From the look in his eyes alone, Dong Lichang knew something was wrong, and immediately said: "This is a matter between Donghai and Xuangu Kingdom, it has nothing to do with us."

"I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter..." Mo Long made up his mind, "Old man, please rest for a while, I will come as soon as I go."

"Where are you going?!" Dongli Chang asked anxiously.

"Donghai Mansion."

"you……"

Mo Long comforted him softly: "I'm just going to ask, and I'll leave as soon as I've asked, there won't be any delay."

"Don't let anything else happen to you," Dong Li Zhang was naturally worried, "Our matter with Dong Hai is over. It's good for Lingxi to stay in her own home, we should go to our own affairs, you You should also calm down."

"Take it, take it." Mo Long patted the old man's back with a smile, "Eat something, and I'll be back after you finish eating!" Then he ran into the sea, taking out the bag from his arms as he ran. Ruyi handle.

Dong Lichang watched him sink into the sea under the protection of a ball of soft light, couldn't help frowning, and sighed: "This child, I just can't let it go! Why can't I let it go!"

In the Donghai Sea Mansion, Qingyue visited Lingjun, and accompanied Lingxi to eat breakfast, and then returned to the inner hall for daily living to deal with affairs.

"How is Nie Zhong's leg injury?" She raised her eyes and asked Ban Gan.

Ban Gan replied: "The chief medical officer went to see him again last night, and there is no serious problem, but he has to stay in bed for three months."

Qingyue nodded, thought for a while and then instructed: "Since you want to rest, you have to find a good place. You can arrange it. The sunlight on Fanghu Island is very good, so let him go there to recuperate."

Ban Gan bowed to accept the order.

"Also, since Lingxi just came back, it's inevitable that her mind will fluctuate, so people should pay more attention." Qingyue frowned, "We must not let her have another chance to sneak out."

The head guard Bai Ji nodded and said yes: "The guard on duty has added two more."

Thinking of the little girl, Qingyue's heart softened again: "I don't have much time to accompany her, class supervisor, see if there are any jugglers, storytellers are fine, bring them in to relieve her boredom, but be sure to check carefully."

Ban Gan smiled and nodded: "You don't need to invite outsiders, my wife is just a scumbag, there are piles of books and dramas after reading it, and I will ask her to chat with the little princess later to relieve boredom."

"I'm sorry for your trouble." Qing Yue said with a smile, "...the dragon tooth blade has come back, choose a day to send it back to Beihai, and pick two boxes of salted sea grapes, last time Mr. Beihai's wife said that our The taste is better than the ones in their house."

"Bei Hai's resignation has made me, Dong Hai, completely disgraced. Eldest princess, why should you..."

Qingyue waved his hand: "The second prince of Beihai is capricious, Shui Jun can't do anything about him, and I already feel sorry for Donghai in my heart. Retiring the marriage is one thing, but the relationship between Donghai and Beihai is another. The dragons of the four seas are united. , must not have a gap, let the foreigners look down on it, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"What the eldest princess said is very true, the old minister is ashamed."

Qingyue looked at Chang Baiji, the guard: "If there is nothing wrong, you can go down and let General Wen Zhen come over."

Bai Ji hesitated to speak, Qingyue raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Last night, one of the servants of Shou Beiyuan was attacked and his eyes were injured." Bai Jidao, "Damn the lowly position, who is the perpetrator has not been found yet? But I have checked thoroughly, and there is no other person in the palace." abnormal movement."

Qingyue frowned: "Is someone trying to break out, or is someone trying to break in?"

Bai Ji shook his head in embarrassment: "The guard couldn't tell the difference at all. He said he only remembered a red light flashing in front of him, and he was vague about the size and shape."

"Could it be that Lingxi wanted to break out of the palace again?" Qingyue had to doubt the little girl, after all, she also injured the guards and escaped last time.

Bai Ji hurriedly said: "Absolutely not. Last night the little princess was in the Zhanxing Courtyard. She didn't even take a step out of the gate. The guards at night had already reported it to the humble officer. Actually, the latter has another guess. It's the courtship season of jellyfish recently. There have been incidents where a guard was stung by a jellyfish in the past, and the guard may have been stung by a jellyfish last night, but it happened to be in the eye, so he couldn't distinguish anything."

Qingyue pondered for a moment, then looked at Ban Gan: "There may be other abnormalities in the mansion."

Ban Gan reported: "The old minister has not received the report, and the old minister will check again later to see if there is any missing item or someone is missing."

Qing Yue nodded, and said to Bai Ji, "I'll give you three days to find out about this matter."

Bai Ji bowed his hands to accept the order, and was about to retreat when a guard came to report quickly.

"Princess, that Mr. Mo who left yesterday is back, just outside the archway, and said that he has something to see the princess and Xue Youshi."

Hearing this, Qingyuexiu frowned, not concealing her displeasure: "Didn't I tell you that when they come, they are not allowed to enter, and they are not allowed to send messages."

Bai Ji was about to reprimand the guard, when he heard him say: "Humble job was to send him away, but he said that fishermen from Xuangu Kingdom were skinned and tortured to death last night, and the fishermen all believed that Dong Hai did it. It's about Dong Hai's reputation. Don't dare not complain."

"A fisherman was skinned and tortured?!" Qingyue stood up and strode towards the layman.

She walked quickly to the outside of the archway, and saw that Mo Long was holding the ruyi in his hand, and the soft light around him helped him avoid the sea water.
