Collapse 3: The girl who chased the fire moth

"Then thank you for your kind words."

Li Sushang cupped her hands and said.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Mei and I are good friends, there is no need for those common etiquette between friends."

Jing Yuan waved his hand,

"Just in time, Yanqing and I haven't eaten yet, so let's take a look at the food in the Yunqi barracks."

After all, several people sat down around a small table.

"Brother Jing Yuan often comes to inspect the barracks?"

Melutina asked for some more noodles and added a bowl of mutton soup.

"I don't come here often. After all, I'm busy. But I must come. The life of the soldiers in the military camp is the most important thing. If you don't come to inspect, I'm afraid that some people will be greedy and detain the food and pay of the soldiers.

Petty greed and appropriation may seem trivial, but they have a great impact on morale. Besides, the soldiers follow me to fight for their lives, and I can't just sit back and watch them suffer for no reason. "

Jing Yuan said seriously.

"It's all about a general, but what about the three armies?"

Li Sushang wanted to answer, but he forgot his words again.

"It was an incompetent general who exhausted the three armies to death. Having a capable general like Brother Jing Yuan is indeed the blessing of Luofu and the luck of the alliance."

Melutina said.

"It seems that although Sushang is diligent in practicing swords, her diction skills still need to be strengthened."

Jing Yuan smiled lightly,

"But don't be impatient. You can't keep up with these things in a day or two. But as a girl, Sushang should read more books to increase her connotation."

"General, what the general said is..."

Li Sushang's tutoring is not bad, but what's the use if she can't learn it?

Chapter 9

"As the saying goes, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

This was the first sentence Fu Xuan said when he saw Melutina.

"...Um, Master Taibo, are you going to die with your own body?"

Melutina, who was staying in Taipus, shivered while hugging the quilt.

By the way, she lives in the guest room in Fuxuan's small courtyard.

"What are you thinking, I will have a long future, and I will be the general of Yunqi in the future."

Fu Xuan said angrily.

"Master Taibo, what do you mean?"

Melutina asked submissively.

"This seat wants to talk about what happened recently."

Fu Xuan said,

"Let's start first."

"If you start like this, it's the same as someone who died."

Melutina rolled her eyes.

"you are right."

Fu Xuan nodded,

"Someone did die."

"what?"

"Taibusi has a fortune teller named Tingxue."

Fu Xuan continued speaking on his own,

"This fortune teller comes from an extraordinary background. She is a young lady from a famous family in Luofu. She is a person that I would not dare to embarrass too much when I see it."

"Master Taibo, do you still care about this?"

Although she didn't know why she mentioned this, Melutina still complained.

"The main reason is that she didn't cause trouble, and she doesn't have the arrogance of a young lady. Naturally, this seat will not intentionally cause this bad luck."

No matter what the actual situation is, Fu Xuan's mouth will definitely not give in.

"I don't know why I want to come to Taipusi."

"Isn't Taibusi a good way out?"

Melutina has always been straightforward.

"Are you asking this seat?"

The corner of Fu Xuan's mouth moved,

"Of course Taipusi is a good way out, but it's only for common people's children."

"What about those nobles?"

Melutina asked.

"Naturally, he has a good reputation, a high income, and a leisurely job. Taipusi can still get a little bit of contact with the first two, but the last one is definitely out of reach."

Fu Xuan pouted.

"Oh, you go on, you go on."

"I don't know what's wrong with this Tingxue. She insisted on coming to Taipusi. I didn't want to cause such trouble at first, but I had a problem and wanted to keep her out. I didn't expect that such a delicate young lady would put a lot of effort into divination.

This seat is not the kind of unreasonable person, since she can answer, this seat let her join. "

Fu Xuan said.

"What's the reason? Like hobbies?"

"...Rarely. There are quite a few similar astrology techniques, but the way of divination is boring and complicated, and the secrets are hard to change. It may not be a good thing to know."

Fu Xuan frowned and said,

"Therefore, there are quite a few children from poor families who have eaten their last meal. After all, Taibosi has no threshold, and the salary is quite generous. However, children from rich families who have no worries about food and clothing are rarely willing to put in such hard work."

"That sounds strange."

"This question has also puzzled me for many years. But I didn't take it too seriously. After all, I am a grand divination, so I don't care about these small things."

Fu Xuan said,

"But the problem is...she's dead."

"what?"

Because the turning point was too abrupt, Melutina didn't react for a while.

"Last night when you were still grinding your teeth and snoring, I was called by General Jing Yuan. It was only after I went that I found out that Tingxue had died."

Fu Xuan said angrily.

"I didn't! So what? How did you die?"

"...dismembering the corpse."

Fu Xuan's expression became ugly, no matter how she was from Taipusi, she felt uncomfortable after becoming like this,

"The corpse was divided into six parts and distributed in the six corners of Luofu. The head, limbs, and torso. The six bodies are combined into one. I just vaguely saw that this is Tingxue."

"Then why did Brother Jing Yuan ask you to come over? Did he know that the person who died was from Taipusi?"

Melutina asked again.

"Because she has Taipusi's name tag on her body, but she can no longer identify her name, and her body is also extremely damaged. Tingxue was a beautiful woman who was famous in Luofu before she was alive, but yesterday I saw the mole between her eyebrows and eyes, so I dared to Sure."

Fu Xuan's expression was very stiff, and Melutina could probably see that he was holding back his anger.

I was called over in the middle of the night, only to find out that the people below had died strangely, and the death was miserable.

Presumably, even Fu Xuan, who had a mind beyond ordinary people, was also angered.

"Is Miss Xue not in Taibosi recently?"

"A week ago, she asked me for leave. I saw that she was hardworking and rarely took vacations, so I granted her permission to take half a month's leave. I never thought..."

Fu Xuan sighed.

"Is there any evidence?"

Melutina asked.

"Yes, that's what I said at the beginning."

Fu Xuan took out a blood-stained note, on which was written——

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

"Hey...why do you still carry it with you?"

Even Melutina didn't expect Fu Xuan to hide a blood-stained note in her bosom.

"The question now is who wrote the note and what it means."

Fu Xuan said.

"Master Taibu, can't you figure it out?"

"Divination requires materials, and it's not like you can know everything just by pinching your fingers."

Fu Xuan said angrily,

"If there is enough evidence, I can deduce it."

"Then I'm looking for...?"

Melutina had a bad feeling.

"I want to investigate in person, but this matter is of great importance and has not yet been announced. I am a bit powerless alone. It just so happens that you are not from Luo Fu, but also a good friend of the general, so it is just right."

Fu Xuan said, and then considering the virtue of the guy in front of him, he added,

"After the matter is completed, I will definitely thank you very much."

"It's easy to say if you have a thank you gift. To be honest, I have taken care of strangers' affairs too much in the past, and now I don't want to worry about them anymore. But Lord Taibo is also my friend. If a friend is in trouble, I am duty-bound."

Saying that, Melutina got up from the bed,

"Then let's go."

"You want...to wear this?"

Fu Xuan looked this guy up and down,

"I'm afraid that you will be stopped by the cloud cavalry army when you leave this door."

"Forehead……"

Melutina lowered her head, then coughed twice,

"Let me change into clothes that are convenient for movement."

……

General House

"Hey, there are more and more troublesome things on the fairy boat every day."

Jing Yuan sighed.
