That night, Luo Lingwei did not attend the banquet when Night Lianhe invited Tor. After all, as the princess, she was the prince's wife and not an ordinary person would be able to see her.

Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion's Lianhe invited Thor to a banquet in the backyard, while Luo Lingwei and Xiaoqing disguised themselves and left the City Lord's Mansion, coming to their own storefront to eat. Although Zhang Long and Zhao Hu happened to meet Ye Lianhe on this trip, their duty was still to protect Luo Lingwei, so they followed Luo Lingwei back to the inn.

Moreover, the two of them did not know why, but after staying with Luo Lingwei for more than a year, although their abilities had improved in all aspects, they were gradually becoming a little unaccustomed to the restrained manner of the Prince's Mansion. This time, he left the City Lord's Mansion with Luo Lingwei. After leaving Ye Lianhe's side, his entire body became relaxed and at ease.

The few of them finished their dinner in the inn, drank some wine, and then fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, after Luo Lingwei woke up, Xiaoqing prepared breakfast for her. After having breakfast, Luo Lingwei, Xiaoqing, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu left the inn and went for a stroll in the market. Yesterday, Luo Lingwei had bought that piece of unpolished jade, and now she wanted to find a craftsman in the market to carve a piece of jade for her.

However, when they arrived at the stall from yesterday, they realized that old man Tian wasn't doing business in front of them and that the stall was empty.

"Excuse me, may I ask why old man Tian isn't here today?" Luo Lingwei was a bit confused, so she asked a peddler beside her.

"Old Man Tian, I don't know either. It must be because he's not feeling well, so he didn't come out." The peddler at the side thought that old man Tian had done something shameful, so he didn't mind his own business and casually said this.

Luo Lingwei nodded her head and didn't take it to heart. She brought a few more people to stroll around the market, and after much difficulty, she found a craftsman with decent craftsmanship and got him to help her carve a jade pendant. The appearance of this jade pendant was comparable to the one made by the Mysterious Iron Token that Ye Lianhe gave her.

Unknowingly, another two or three days had passed. On this day, Luo Lingwei estimated that the jade pendant was about to be ready, so she took her people to the jade smith's shop to retrieve it. After getting the jade pendant, Luo Lingwei was very happy. Although this piece of jade was made of water, there was still some water vapor inside. After this process, the water vapor had become crystal clear under the sunlight.

Once again, Luo Lingwei passed in front of the old man's stall and found that the peddler there had become a different person. He was not the old man who was bargaining with Luo Lingwei at the start, but was instead a young man.

"Excuse me, may I ask where is the old man Tian who was in this stall?" Luo Lingwei asked in confusion.

That young man was also honest. Seeing that Luo Lingwei didn't look like a bad person, he directly told her: "My lady, from the first look, you are from outside the country. This old man Tian offended Yang's brother, so he was found and cleaned up by someone two days ago.

Originally, old man Tian should have been fine. It was just because he had acted arrogantly and allowed Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to injure the moustache man and his two subordinates. Now, the moustache man did not dare to seek revenge, so he had vented his anger on old man Tian.

"Because of me right now, I'll definitely take care of it, or else my heart won't be able to rest." Luo Lingwei thought to herself. After making up her mind, she asked about where Old Man Tian's family lived, then instructed Xiaoqing to buy some supplements to go to Old Man Tian's house.

Old Man Tian was also a poor family. He had no real estate in the city, so he dug a cave in a small hill two miles away from the city. Old Man Tian originally had a son, but he had died at the hands of a horse a few years ago. Now, only he and his wife lived in this broken cave.

Although this cave was somewhat dilapidated, it was still not bad. About ten meters in front of the cave was a simple courtyard that was surrounded by fences. The gate faced south, facing the sun. There was also a fire brick bed in the house. It was warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

When Luo Lingwei and her group arrived at the door of the cave, they found that there was no one in the courtyard. Just as Luo Lingwei wanted to knock on the door, she discovered that the courtyard door was ajar. There were still traces of blood in the yard, and Luo Lingwei had a bad premonition.

She gave them a meaningful glance before bringing Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Xiaoqing to the door. The moment she opened the door, a foul stench assaulted her senses. Over the past year of experience in the Jianghu area, Luo Lingwei was able to instantly distinguish the stench behind it.

The stench was coming at them like a corpse stench! At this time, the corpse had been cooped up at home for a few days and the stench had almost caused it to pass out.

When they looked closely, they found that the corpse was lying on the brick bed. There were still traces of blood on its body. One of its legs had already solidified, but it was obvious that someone had broken it.

"Empress, look over here!" Xiaoqing's mind was in a mess. She discovered that something was wrong, so she turned around and went into another room. She found a female corpse sitting on the ground with a pair of scissors in her chest.

"This must be old man Tian's wife." As Luo Lingwei saw the tragic scene in front of her, her heart was filled with grief and indignation.

"I didn't kill Born, but Born died because of me. Looking at it today, it seems like my recklessness that day caused his two lives to be taken! "

"Empress, this matter is not your fault. Please do not blame yourself." Little Qing comforted Luo Lingwei.

"Let's bury these two miserable old men and go back." This time, Luo Lingwei was not as angry as she was before. Instead, she was very calm as she arranged for them to do things.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu nodded and started to look for shovels and the like tools to start digging holes in the two elders' yard. As for Xiaoqing, she was sent back to the city by Luo Lingwei to buy two coffins to bury the two of them.

Everything had been tidied up and it was already evening by the time they returned to the city. That night, everything was very quiet. But after dawn the next day, Ye Lianhe was unable to find any trace of Luo Lingwei.

This frightened the people in the City Lord's Mansion, especially Ye Lianhe, who was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan. Last night, Luo Lingwei was still lying in his arms. Why did he disappear when he woke up this morning?

Ye Lianhe quickly sent out all the servants and spies in the city to search for her. However, after this day, there was no news at all. Luo Lingwei's news had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

But that night, something big happened in Oasis City! Oasis City Yang Lord Book and his twin brother were killed!
