The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 69 Letters
Chu Yunxi sighed and whispered, "He's gone."
Xiao Mubei reached out and gently helped Wu Di close his eyes, put him on the ground, and stood up.
Baiyu Heimu had already captured the man and was waiting on the side. He was a dark-skinned, short man with a large bow at his feet. Xiao Mubei's face was ashen and he was furious. He walked towards the man step by step, his hand already on the handle of the whip.
Chu Yunxi glanced around and saw that there were many people around. It was absolutely not suitable to do anything at this moment. Wu Di was a general of the enemy country, and standing up for him would be tantamount to treason.
She understood where Xiao Mubei's energy came from. There were many secrets to be uncovered about Wu Di, including the case of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Now that he was dead, they would need to put more energy into investigating those cases. The key point was that many secrets might be buried deep underground with Wu Di from now on.
She was also angry, but even though she was angry, she was still rational. Chu Yunxi took a few quick steps, grabbed Xiao Mubei, and shook her head. Xiao Mubei rarely acted impulsively on weekdays, and he was really angry today.
He let go of the whip and waved, "Take him back to the Dali Temple."
When he returns to Dali Temple, it will be up to him to decide how to deal with this man. Now, he has more important things to do.
Arranging for someone to take Wu Di's body back to the Dali Temple's morgue, Xiao Mubei said to Chu Yunxi: "Come with me to a place."
"Wait a minute," Chu Yunxi looked around, picked up the medicine box and went behind a wall where no one was. When she came out again, the medicine box was gone.
Xiao Mubei was already used to her taking out things and putting them away at any time. Chu Yunxi didn't let him ask, and he kept his promise and never asked again.
"Let's go." Chu Yunxi stood beside him and looked around. "Which way should we go?"
Xiao Mubei hesitated for a moment and said to her, "I'm sorry."
Before Chu Yunxi could react to why he was apologizing, Xiao Mubei's hands had already wrapped around her slender waist, and then he stepped on the ground and his body flew into the air.
It was not the first time that Chu Yunxi had been taken flying since she arrived in ancient times, so she was only startled for a moment, and then she relaxed, allowing Xiao Mubei to take her over the eaves and walls. It was almost dark, and they were jumping on the roofs at an incredible speed.
The sound of wind whistled past her ears. Chu Yunxi looked at the lights of thousands of houses below her feet and suddenly felt emotional. She came to this ancient time alone, without a home or relatives or friends. None of the lights in these thousands of houses were lit for her.
However, being sad about the passing of time has never been her style. What she has always believed in is that no matter how difficult the conditions are, she must live her own wonderful life!
"Where are we going?" Chu Yunxi said loudly in Xiao Mubei's ear.
Xiao Mubei stepped down and landed with Chu Yunxi. They stopped in front of a big door and said, "This is it."
There were people from the Dali Temple guarding the door. When Chu Yunxi saw Xiao Mubei saluting together, she looked up and saw four words, "Nankun Martial Arts School."
Hadn't they searched this place before? Why did Xiao Mubei come again? He even brought her with him, not even Bai Yu and Hei Mu. Did Wu Di say something to him just now?
Sure enough, after Xiao Mubei found out the location of Wu Di's bedroom, he took her and said, "Wu Di gave me a big gift before he died."
Chu Yunxi was startled, but saw that Xiao Mubei was not going to continue. She suppressed her doubts and followed Xiao Mubei to Wu Di's former bedroom.
"one two three four…"
Xiao Mubei stepped on the floor tiles and counted in a low voice. When he counted to eight, he squatted down and began to pry the tiles.
Chu Yunxi knew that there must be something fishy going on here, so she went forward to help. The floor of Nankun Martial Arts School was paved with bluestone, which ordinary people could not afford at all, which showed that the owner of this place was very wealthy.
Xiao Mubei had just picked up a shovel when he passed by the garden. At this moment, he used his internal strength to pry open the floor tiles in a few strokes. Chu Yunxi cleaned the sand and gravel underneath, and soon an oilcloth bag was revealed.
She and Xiao Mubei looked at each other, then took out the oilcloth bag and opened it layer by layer. It turned out to be a bag full of letters!
Xiao Mubei picked up a letter and opened it. After taking a look, his expression immediately became serious and he lowered his voice and said, "It's a letter between my third brother and Wu Di."
Chu Yunxi also immediately picked up a letter, glanced through it, and sighed, "With this, I'm afraid that no matter how King Jingyuan tries to argue, it will be useless. He must be afraid that Wu Di will be caught and reveal the fact that they are colluding, so he spared no effort to kill Wu Di. He achieved his goal, but he certainly didn't expect that Wu Di actually kept this trick up his sleeve."
Xiao Mubei nodded, "That's right, Wu Di wanted to use me to avenge himself. This man has been planning all his life, scheming and calculating, and has always had a back-up plan for everything. He has considered everything until his death."
Chu Yunxi put the letter in, rewrapped the oilcloth bag, turned around and put the Liyue bracelet in, and said, "Let's go. This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to Dali Temple and look through it slowly to see if we can find some clues from these letters."
Xiao Mubei saw that she just turned around to put away such a large oilcloth bag, and suddenly he envied Chu Yunxi's storage space. Although he didn't know what was in it, it looked convenient and safe, and it was not a burden to carry things out. It was simply a must-have for home travel and life.
But even though he was envious, what belonged to Chu Yunxi was equivalent to what belonged to him. At least for now, there was no problem in keeping something for him, as long as the person was by his side.
When they returned to Dali Temple, it was already completely dark. After a simple meal, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went straight into the study and began to read the letters until the first trace of dawn appeared in the sky.
Chu Yunxi was so tired that she fell asleep on the table. Xiao Mubei looked at the time and gently carried Chu Yunxi to the soft couch in the study. She opened her eyes sleepily and asked, "What time is it?"
Xiao Mubei said softly: "It's just five o'clock in the morning, it's still early, let's sleep a little longer."
Chu Yunxi closed her eyes again, "Okay, you should get some sleep too."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep again.
Xiao Mubei felt warm in his heart, and he tiptoed out of the study, called Bai Yu over to change clothes, and prepared to attend the morning court.
I'm afraid today's morning court session will not be peaceful.
When Chu Yunxi woke up, it was already bright. She rubbed her neck and walked out of the study. Bai Yu came up to her with breakfast in his hand.
"Where is the prince?"
"The prince has gone to the morning court and told us not to disturb the girl's rest, saying that he will be back late today."
Chu Yunxi thought that today she would probably have to deal with the matter of Dasui's spy infiltrating Nandi. Xiao Mubei would indeed not come back too early, but seeing that he did not take those letters, he probably did not intend to take action against King Jingyuan now.
