Shengjing Conspiracy
Chapter 48, Encounter on the East Street
Peach blossoms are all over the mountain, full of fragrance, and ghost soldiers are rampant.
"Peach blossom again..." Wen Youqing was taken aback, "From the beginning to now, it seems that all the clues are pointing to that poem."
"Could it be that ghost soldiers have something to do with this human sacrifice." Xiao Wu felt his back go cold, and looked back at the human sacrifice pit, "Do you think these were killed by ghost soldiers?"
Everyone stopped talking. There is a group of people hiding in this valley. This group of people will intercept passing caravans and perform human sacrifices. This is no small matter, and this matter has been hidden under their noses for so long.
"Look there, it seems to be a person." Jing Yun looked at the depths of the cave, and the branches covered a human-shaped thing. The light in the cave was very dark just now, so he didn't notice it. Now Jing Yun said that he seemed to be standing there alone. Staring straight at them, the temperature in the cave dropped a little in an instant.
"What is this?" Wen Youqing wanted to go over to check it out, but there were so many corpses in the cave that he couldn't get off. He turned to look at Jing Yun. The tree vines, over the corpse under their feet, landed steadily on the open space opposite.
An San also wanted to hold Xiao Wu and go over, but before he started, he saw Xiao Wu grabbing the tree and vines, and silently retracted the hand he had already stretched out, and passed over.
Jing Yun cut off the messy trees and vines, revealing the covered human figure, and saw that it was a statue of a god, with a black body and a hideous face. He didn't think of a kind god, but a first-class evil spirit.
"What kind of god is this? Why does it look so fierce." It was the first time for Xiao Wu to see such a god, and it was far from the kind-hearted god in his impression.
Wen Youqing rubbed her chin and stared at the statue for a long time, "This is...the statue of Chi You."
"Chi You?" Everyone said in unison.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the image of Chi You." Wen Youqing paused and continued: "Chi You was the leader of the tribe in ancient times. According to legend, he was extremely brave and good at fighting. The tribe is honored as the Lord of War by the descendants. Until now, many places believe in Chi You, thinking that Chi You can protect them from poverty and hunger.”
Speaking of this, Wen Youqing narrowed his eyes slightly and found that there was still a pattern on the stone wall next to the statue, so he pushed aside the tree vines to reveal the totem behind, and said: "It's the Golden Crow totem, so it seems that I did not admit my mistake, this is indeed Chi You, in addition--"
Everyone looked at him in unison, Wen Youqing smiled lightly: "The name of Chiyou's tribe is Jiuli tribe, soldiers of Jiuli tribe are buried outside, and the statue of Chiyou is enshrined here, so it shouldn't be such a coincidence."
Because of the border town case, he collected a lot of books about Jiuli Kingdom after he returned to Kyoto, and the matter of Chi You was also mentioned above.
All the clues were connected at once, and everyone felt a little less distressed because of the human sacrifice. These two days were not in vain.
"The breakthrough point of the case now is the so-called 'ghost soldiers', maybe we can find a way to meet them." Wen Youqing smiled slyly, narrowing her peachy eyes.
Jing Yun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled, "Aren't they willing to rob, then we will use ourselves as bait and wait for them to rob."
"Brother Yun, who knows me." Wen Youqing patted Jing Yun on the shoulder, "This matter needs human help, and it's time for you!"
"Wrap it on me." Jing Yun smiled.
Looking at Jing Yun's appearance, Ansan Xiaowu knew that he must be holding back something bad again, and couldn't help but light the wax for Wen Youqing who blindly believed in Jing Yun.
East Street in the city.
There are also places full of filth in prosperous places. People from all walks of life gather here on East Street, and if you enter any alley, you can catch a bunch of people who gather to gamble.
Jiang Nanxing is very familiar with such places, and also knows what kind of dress attracts the most attention.
Dressed in a water-blue male shirt, with a paper fan instead of a sword hanging on his waist, he clearly looks like a flirtatious young master.
There is a unified name for such people in Dongjie—Big Fat Sheep.
Feeling that there were more people around him, Jiang Nanxing snickered in his heart, he was hooked so quickly, and it was not in vain that he borrowed Wen Youqing's son's shirt with Jing Yun's cold eyes.
While walking, Jiangnan Xing was also looking at the nearby stalls. Although there was a lot of people coming and going here, he bought a lot of things that were not available elsewhere. At this glance, he saw a Yaoqin jade pendant.
Seeing the Yaoqin jade pendant, Li Suwen's cold face appeared in Jiang Nanxing's mind, and then he thought of the embarrassment of the two of them in the morning, he couldn't help touching his nose, and his ears were a little hot.
"How much is this jade pendant?" Jiang Nanxing touched his face, this little thing can be bought as a gift to that person, he left in a hurry this morning and didn't bother him, he was probably frightened, so this should be regarded as an apology.
The things on the street were not too expensive, so he stuffed the jade pendant into his bosom contentedly, Jiangnan Xing continued to walk forward, thinking that the people on this East Street were not very good, his wealth was exposed, why no one came to stop him he.
However, after walking a few steps, Jiang Nanxing saw a person who should not be here.
"Su asked?"
"Nan, Mr. Kejiang."
Jiang Nanxing thought that he was thinking about others and was daydreaming. How could he think that it was really Li Suwen.
How could he be here alone?
Li Suwen was still dressed in the same white clothes in the Qin Pavilion, elegant and cool, standing out in this place where fish and dragons are mixed together, like an exile.
This kind of person is more like a big fat sheep than Jiangnan Xing. Just standing beside Jiangnan Xing can feel those torch-like eyes, feeling a little worried, and takes a step to block Li Suwen.
"Why did you come here?" Jiang Nanxing moved closer, making the two seem very close.
Li Suwen felt the temperature around him, and said, "I found out that there is a piano score here that is extremely hard to find, so I'll come and have a look."
That's right, Li Suwen is a luthier, and what attracts him the most is naturally the piano score.
"Is this the one?" Jiang Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the book in his hand.
The two walked together when they met, Li Suwen didn't ask Jiang Nanxing why he was here, but just followed silently.
Walking to an alley with fewer people, Jiang Nanxing said in a low voice: "No matter what happens later, just hide behind me."
After speaking, he turned into the alley, and the footsteps behind him became denser after he hadn't gone far. Jiang Nanxing pulled the corner of his mouth and pulled Li Suwen behind him.
Looking at the person holding the stick in front of him, Jiang Nanxing felt disgusted for a while, and said to the person behind him, "Sorry for bringing you into this."
Li Suwen didn't speak, but just shrunk holding the sheet music, as if she was a little scared but still wanted to protect the sheet music.
Jiang Nan Xing couldn't help laughing, he actually doubted Su Wen for a moment before, this is clearly a luthier who loves piano scores like his life.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Jiangnan Xing smiled brightly, his handsome face met the sunshine that hit the cold alley, and his whole body became brighter and more dazzling.
Li Suwen only felt that his heart lost control for a moment.
"Peach blossom again..." Wen Youqing was taken aback, "From the beginning to now, it seems that all the clues are pointing to that poem."
