Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 606 Chapter [-] Condolences
Mocheng, the General's Mansion.

It was still the small house that was not considered luxurious in the past.

Logically speaking, with Lu Nanting's status in Yunzhou, this small house really wronged him.

However, General Lu had a simple temperament and was alone in Yunzhou, so he just had a simple place to stay.

When Lin Ji came outside the General's Mansion, he found that there was a white silk hanging on the door, and the same was true on the courtyard wall next to it.

But other than that, there is nothing else.

There were no relatives and friends who came to express their condolences, not even the servants at the door to greet the guests.

The butler of Lu Nanting whom he had met before also disappeared.

The door was closed tightly, and it was extremely deserted.

It really shouldn't be the appearance of a high-profile general who has guarded the northern border for many years.

Lin Ji stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.

After a while, a somewhat cold voice sounded.

"Guests please come back, there is no need to express condolences."

Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Ji was slightly relieved.

"Zhaoer, it's me."

Footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and a moment later, the door was opened.

Lu Zhaoer was dressed in white, and her face looked a little gray.

"How did you come?"

"General Lu passed away, why didn't you send me a message?" Lin Ji asked.

"Daddy died suddenly. I thought that the poisonous injury was mostly healed. Who would have thought that it would suddenly deteriorate in just a few days, and it could not be cured. I have used the seventh-rank detoxification pills, but it didn't help." Lu Zhaoer sighed softly.

"Who poisoned it? General Zhenbei was poisoned and killed. This matter should be investigated to the end."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoer shook his head.

"Come in and talk first."

Lu Zhaoer moved away, and her eyes fell on the fox demon following Lin Ji.

She frowned slightly and said, "Monster Qi? Did you catch it?"

"Yes, a member of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. I ran into someone inhaling yang energy on the road, so I caught him."

"Why didn't you kill him?" Lu Zhaoer asked casually.

"The Qingqiu Fox Clan is still related to the imperial court, and Yunzhou is also their territory. This little monster has never killed anyone, so it's not easy to kill it."

When the fox demon behind heard this conversation, his heart rose in his throat.

After Lin Ji explained, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.But he still didn't dare to make too much noise, and found a corner to hide after entering the door.

Ah Ling jumped off Lin Ji's shoulder and landed in Lu Zhaoer's arms.

Lin Ji followed Lu Zhaoer into the main hall of the General's Mansion, which had been converted into a mourning hall.

But it is said that it is a mourning hall, and there is only a memorial tablet of Lu Nanting on the altar table, nothing more.

"After my father's bones were cremated, the ashes were scattered on the battlefield in the north."

Lu Zhaoer brought a cup of tea and put it in front of Lin Ji, and said softly, "I was planning to leave in two days to go to Weizhou to find you, who would have thought that you would come to Yunzhou."

"I am very quiet in Victoria." Lin Ji took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said, "A lot of things happened in Victoria, and I will tell you in detail later. In short, this trip is to come to Yun first. The state finds you and goes south with you."

"Going south? Where are you going?"

"I don't know, it doesn't matter where I go, I should go to Yangzhou in the end, and send Ah Ling back."

Lu Zhaoer smiled.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Lin Ji felt that Lu Nanting's death seemed to make Lu Zhao'er's temper even colder.

At this moment, the little smile shown in front of him is probably just a forced smile.

"I asked who was responsible for your uncle's poisoning earlier, but you prevaricated me. Is there something else behind this matter?" Lin Ji asked.

"I don't know. Before my father died, he repeatedly asked me not to investigate. He even asked me to leave Yunzhou as soon as possible, and not to return to the capital. Instead, I went to Weizhou to find you."

Lu Zhaoer pursed her lips and sighed softly: "He still treats me as a child, and he doesn't want to tell me anything, and he will never let me take revenge."

Hearing this, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.

How powerful the Lu family is in Great Qin, Dingguo Gong Lu Guangmu is the head of military officials in Great Qin, and his status is only higher than that of the left and right prime ministers.

Lu Nanting has guarded northern Xinjiang for many years, and his prestige in Yunzhou is unmatched.

Even Peidi's older sister is originally Lu Nanting's wife, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

High position and weight, relatives of the emperor.

Such a Lu family, even though an important person died, they still said not to investigate?

Lin Ji finds the secret behind it difficult just thinking about it.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ji grabbed Lu Zhaoer's hand on the table and rubbed it lightly, trying to give her some comfort.

"What about you? Do you want to check? If you want to check, I will accompany you."

Lu Zhaoer shook his head.

"I won't check."

After the words fell, Lu Zhaoer looked at Lin Ji and smiled wryly twice.

"I just received a letter from Jingli two days ago. It was written by my grandfather. In the letter, he also said that this matter is the same as my father's instructions. Don't stay in Yunzhou, and don't go back to the capital. Go to Victoria to find you."

"Even Duke Lu said that?"

After thinking about it, Lin Ji asked, "In that case, do you have any unfinished business in Yunzhou?"

"No more." Lu Zhaoer shook her head.

"Then stay in Mocheng for one more day tonight, and tomorrow we will go south and leave this place."

Lu Zhaoer naturally had no objection.

Lin Ji got up and said, "I originally planned to use this little fox to get some benefits from the Qingqiu fox clan."

While speaking, he came to the small courtyard and looked at the little fox in the corner.

"Go away, let me spare you this time, and next time, Lin will not be so easy to talk to."

As if being pardoned, the little fox left the courtyard without looking back, and soon disappeared.

Afterwards, Lin Ji greeted Lu Zhaoer, and then went straight to the Mocheng government office, and saw Qin Jinsong again.

Qin Jinsong was a little surprised when Lin Ji said that he would leave the next day.

"Brother Lin, don't you want to stay for a few more days?"

"I won't stay anymore. I came here to pick up Zhao'er. She said she didn't want to stay in Yunzhou."

Qin Jinsong was stunned.

"Hey, once Brother Lu left, I couldn't even find anyone to talk to in this huge Yunzhou."

Seeing that Lin Ji didn't interrupt, Qin Jinsong didn't say anything more on this topic.

"Brother Lin, you already know about the changes in Beijing?"

"Is it because the eunuch Lan Zeying became the acting chief?"

"That's right." Qin Jinsong nodded, and asked again, "What do you think, Brother Lin?"

Lin Ji laughed lightly.

"The Seal of Supervising Heaven is not in his hands, so what he said is just farting."

Qin Jinsong laughed out loud when he heard this.

But then, he restrained his smile again.

"What if the Jiantian Seal falls into his hands?"

Lin Ji's expression froze.

"Brother Qin, what news did you receive?"

"No, just asking."

Lin Ji was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't ask, but just shook his head.

"If Jiantianyin is really under the control of Lan Zeying, Lin, the town official, will no longer have to be."
