Qi Yu still agreed to go to the Imperial Palace with her at night.
She didn't want to see Chu Yixuan at all, but she wanted to see whether that woman who had abandoned his husband and daughter, who had cruelly abandoned his daughter for more than ten years, was happy or not by the side of his lover.
However, before they entered the palace, she requested Feng Qingmo to bring her to see the Mrs. Xu again.
Now that he and Yu Guan had disappeared together, Xu Chang would definitely be furious and send people to search for the whereabouts of Mrs. Xu and Yu Guan.
Feng Qingmo agreed.
However, when the two of them returned to the inn where and the Mrs. Xu were staying, they realised that there was no one in the room!
"What's going on?" Qi Yu was stunned.
Why did the Mrs. Xu and Yu Guan disappear?
Could it be that they had already escaped?
But Feng Qingmo slowly squatted down by the table, reached out to touch the ground, and brought his finger up to his nose and took a light sniff.
Qi Yu quickly went over: "What's wrong?"
Feng Qingmo raised his eyes and looked at her: "They might have met with mishaps."
"Why?" Qi Yu's heart tightened!
Then, she also saw the areas that Feng Qingmo had touched before. The floor was wiped extremely clean, a big piece, a whole piece. Then, Qi Yu's keen sense of smell detected a faint smell of blood.
Yes, even if the blood stains on the ground were wiped clean, the scent of blood in the air would not dissipate so quickly.
She gently touched the ground with her finger and brought it to her nose. Sure enough, what she smelled was still the smell of blood.
Qi Yu's heart tensed up, she immediately stood up and looked at the marks she left behind. The marks extended from the side of the table all the way to the window, and then, on the windowsill, she saw a drop of blood that had not been wiped clean.
"The person was brought out from the window!" she exclaimed.
Could it be that Mrs. Xu and Yu Guan were injured and brought back to the Xu Mansion?
Or could it be that they had already been killed, and someone from the Xu Family had directly taken the corpse away and destroyed it?
Feng Qingmo dragged her: "Come with me."
Qi Yu immediately followed. Feng Qingmo ran over to the window and picked her up, with the tip of his foot, he flew over the window and floated down!
Sigh, she remembered Chu Yixuan. During the time Su Leyao sent people to assassinate her, she had also hugged her waist like this …
Thinking of all these, Qi Yu's heart began to ache faintly.
Why would Chu Yixuan lie to her? Even if she did not exist, it would not affect him in completing his great mission. Why did he have to use her as a chess piece and not make full use of her …
After landing outside the window, Feng Qingmo released Qi Yu, looked at the wheel prints far away and said: "They rode on the horse carriage and left."
Not hearing Qi Yu's reply, Feng Qingmo turned around. But when he saw Qi Yu's eyes filled with tears, Feng Qingmo was stunned.
Qi Yu hurriedly wiped away her tears, blinked her eyes, and covered up her emotions: "Uhh, it's too cold, even the eyelashes are covered with frozen flowers!"
Feng Qingmo did not expose her, and only silently walked in front: "I am afraid that this direction will lead us to the Wasteland. Do you want to chase after it? "
"Of course." She had to find the Mrs. Xu and Yu Guan, maybe they were just injured and not dead yet. If she and Feng Qingmo could get there in time, maybe she could even save them.
"But if we follow them, we might fall into their trap." Feng Qingmo reminded her.
"You're not sure?" She looked at Feng Qingmo.
Feng Qingmo looked at her thoughtfully: "Are you concerned about the life and death of Mrs. Xu?"
Qi Yu shrugged, "Can't we just watch the show?"
Feng Qingmo laughed: "Alright! I'll take you there. — No matter what happens, stay with me and don't run around. "
"Got it!" Qi Yu said, "I do not know any martial arts, do I dare to not follow you?"
Feng Qingmo nodded.
Not long after, Feng Qingmo found a carriage and followed the tracks of the carriage.
Feng Qingmo was right, the carriage was heading towards a barren slope outside the Ji City. Mrs. Xu and Yu Guan's corpses were thrown there. In the snow, the black and black bloodstains on the corpses stained the white snow dirty, and Mrs. Xu and Yu Guan's bodies were covered with wounds. Their bodies were completely black and blue, and their faces were twisted and distorted, as though they had endured endless pain during their deaths.
Qi Yu walked over silently, and gently looked at the corpses of the Mrs. Xu and Yu Guan. The miserable state of the two corpses made Qi Yu's heart ache, her stomach churning endlessly!
How could this be, did Xu Chang really find them and kill them off?
How could this be, a wife that had been married for more than twenty years, actually had the heart to kill him, was Xu Chang still human?!
Feng Qingmo looked at her: "What, did you find anything?"
Qi Yu then looked at Mrs. Xu's eyes, and said with a frown: "Judging from Mrs. Xu's corpse spots, the degree of stiffness and the degree of cloudy cornea, Mrs. Xu should have been injured more than two hours ago."
Feng Qingmo raised his head, puzzled, "Within two hours? "How did you extrapolate it?"
Qi Yu turned the corpse over and explained to Feng Qingmo: "Look, there are faint purplish-red spots under the corpse's body. The color of the corpse's finger pressing on the corpse's corpse will fade and the corpse will turn over. Only the lower parts of the corpse's body will have new corpse spots on it.
"Not bad, you really know a lot." Feng Qingmo nodded his head, he slowly squatted down and looked at the two corpses, then sighed: "The two of them had more than ten wounds on their bodies, each of them was fatal. Someone wanted them to die. "
Of course! The person who wanted them dead, must be Crown’s Master Xu Chang!
What a ruthless heart!
Within two hours, they would die!
Perhaps he died not long after they left, or perhaps he died just before they arrived …
If she and Feng Qingmo had stayed by Mrs. Xu's side and not left, she might not have died!
At least, with Feng Qingmo's protection, no matter how high an expert was, it should still be barely possible for them to escape, right?!
Qi Yu raised her face, suppressing her tears, "The power of Mrs. Xu's family is not small, how could Xu Chang treat her like this?"
Feng Qingmo said: "Very soon, people will discover that Mrs. Xu and Yu Guan are dead together, and when news of Mrs. Xu stepping out of the wall will spread, it will be extremely disadvantageous to the Xu Family's situation.
This... That's true!
"Besides, even though Xu Family back then had some foundation, without Xu Chang's support, it would have been impossible for it to become the power it has today. Xu Chang could support and destroy Xu Family as well."
Feng Qingmo's words made Qi Yu speechless.
"What should we do now?" Looking at the two bodies that were in such a miserable state, Qi Yu covered her eyes in distress: "If it's really like you said, then the so-called witnesses will appear soon!"
"No." Feng Qingmo looked around and slowly shook his head, "A witness has already appeared."
Qi Yu was suddenly shocked in her heart: "What do you mean?"
Feng Qingmo slowly moved her behind him, taking out his treasure sword, he said: "If you want to fight, then come out! Otherwise, we will be leaving! "
Qi Yu looked around in shock. She finally realized that they were in the middle of a snowy slope. This terrain was very suitable for them to be buried alive.
Sure enough, there was an ambush behind the slope! One by one, they dressed up as normal people quickly stood up, pulled their bows full of arrows, and aimed it straight at Feng Qingmo and Qi Yu. The bowstring vibrated, and with a few "shua, shua, shua" sounds, the arrows flew towards Qi Yu and Qi Yu like rain!
It was another bow and arrow!
Last time on the road to Lu Shan, Qi Yu had already experienced the power of the rain of arrows.
Last time, Chu Yixuan was protected by Lu Ming, and only with the two of them protecting his, she was able to survive. This time, there was only Feng Qingmo, who was afraid that he would not be able to take care of himself, how could he protect her?
An ominous feeling enveloped Qi Yu.
It's over! This time, he would most likely die in Mrs. Xu's company!
Feng Qingmo blocked in front, and quickly leaped up, waving the sword in his hand, his entire person spinning along with the sword light into a ball of light and shadow, spinning around Qi Yu, Qi Yu only felt that in the midst of her dizziness, the light and shadow had already blocked all the arrows aimed at her, Hmm, Feng Qingmo won't be hit like that? Was he using his life to protect her?
The disguised commoners formed a circle in front and behind them, with one attack failing and the other attack continuing. Wave after wave of arrows rained down on the two!
She didn't dare open her eyes to look. She really wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly out of the terrifying encirclement, so she wouldn't be a burden to Feng Qingmo.
Suddenly, she felt a drop beneath her feet, and Feng Qingmo had already extended his hand out to pull her down, falling down together with her.
In his ears, there was an earth-shattering sound. The two of them continued to slide downwards. No, it was a forty-five degree slanted slide.
Finally, the sound of the mountains collapsing and the earth cracking disappeared, and everything returned to tranquility.
Their bodies finally stopped sliding down and stopped somewhere cold.
Probing, Qi Yu slowly opened her eyes.
It was really pitch black in front of his eyes! Where's Feng Qingmo?
"Feng Qingmo? Feng Qingmo... " He opened his eyes in vain, but could not see anything! Qi Yu nervously grabbed Feng Qingmo's hand, "Where are we?"
"Don't worry, we're safe." Feng Qingmo patted the back of her hand, "Sit down for a while, I'll dig a path for you."
"How?" Curiosity replaced nervousness. Qi Yu stretched out her hand and touched the four walls beside him.
"En, wait a moment. It's almost done." While Feng Qingmo was speaking, his body had already floated away from her body. No one knew how he moved, but very quickly, "shua shua" sounds came out a few metres away.
"How did you dig it up?" Qi Yu asked in surprise.
This was a skill that could drill through the heavens and split the earth! How did he do it?
Feng Qingmo did not reply her, the muffled sound still continued, but suddenly, a ray of light from the sky lit up the entire pitch-black world in front of him.
"Come, come out, Qi Yu." Feng Qingmo floated back to Qi Yu's side like the wind and pulled her hand, "Follow me."
