Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 106 The path taken by Qin Changye’s descendants!
After all, they are chasing the Big Dipper, who is also the mastermind behind the assassination of His Highness Xiao Sizi, so Maotu has sent out a lot of men today. Even if Kaiyang has forty or fifty men in secret, there is no way to stop them!

Kaiyang didn't care about the dangerous light in Maotu's eyes, nor did he care about Qin Changye's eyes. He slowly took out a few copper coins from his arms.

"Old sir, I also had some gains this morning. I caught a few nice fish. I'll take that as my reward for the wonderful games you and I have had over the past few days."

"I am surrounded by enemies on all sides, and your people are well aware of the information in my files, so I am in great danger.

"Haha, the situation is so unfavorable, but the other stars of the Big Dipper will not put themselves in danger. Of course, they live in this world because of you, Qin Changye. I believe that he knows the horror of other stars better than me."

The words fell.

At this moment, the first ray of sunlight finally shone on Kaiyang.

In an instant!

Kaiyang's body was burning!

This turned out to be spontaneous human combustion!

stunned!

Shock!

Can't believe it!

Maotu's eyes widened as she thought of the various ways in which they could part after meeting Kaiyang.

There are scenes where Kaiyang escapes, Kaiyang is killed by his own people, or Kaiyang himself is killed, and so on.

But no one expected that Kaiyang would actually commit suicide!
Qin Changye saw this and was slightly frightened.

This is truly a person who wants to die.

He just wanted to have one last, satisfying game of chess before he died...
Such a person, even if he is an opponent, is worthy of respect.

Qin Changye was a little solemn.

Maotu shook his head helplessly, laughed, put away his sword, and then lamented: "Kaiyang, you... have already thought about death?"

Kaiyang nodded, during which time the flames had burned all over his body.

Kaiyang, his body covered in flames, remained calm. He stared at the fish pond and looked up at the sky with the last of his strength.

"I, Yang Qingquan, was ultimately unable to become your butcher in Chang'an City."

"Sad, deplorable."

After saying that, Kaiyang burned up completely.

He died just like that without any ripples.

He chose this way of dying, which left both Maotu and Qin Changye at a loss as to what to do.

Kaiyang died, leaving nothing behind.

No, it’s not like there’s nothing left.

He also left behind a few carp fish.

Maotu sighed, and stood there in a daze, looking at the carps with a strange look on his face. He felt that the carps were a little dazzling.

The few carps that can be held in one hand represent the evidence of her previous fight with Kaiyang.

Apart from these, she could no longer find any connection with Kaiyang.

While she was in a daze, Qin Changye walked up to her and patted her shoulder.

"Later, when you have time, come to Wangyun Inn for dinner. I've made your favorite food."

Upon hearing this, Maotu was stunned.

Then he rolled his eyes at Qin Changye and said, "Grandfather, you are still so calm."

"Okay, got it, I'll be there later."

"We still need to clean up here, so you can go back by yourself first."

"Be careful on the road and don't cause me any trouble, ancestor."

The Rabbit and the Snake also gained immortality because of Qin Changye, and were also raised by Qin Changye himself.

But compared to Si Snake, she used to tease Qin Changye when she was a child and was a naughty child.

I inherited a bit of this character when I grew up. The reason why I was a little reserved when they met just now was, on the one hand, there was the enemy Kaiyang in front of him, and on the other hand, Qin Changye had just revived after a hundred years and he was not yet used to it.

And now, I've almost adapted to it.

She also became the little girl who once gave Qin Changye a headache, but after growing up, she knew that there were things she should do and things she shouldn't do.

She liked to joke with Qin Changye, and Qin Changye accepted it. Qin Changye had long regarded these little guys as his own children.

Parents are usually lenient with their children no matter what mistakes they make, not to mention these little jokes from the Rabbit.

Qin Changye laughed: "Kid, can anything unexpected happen to me?"

Maotu quickly smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, you should go back soon. I can't let you go if you are here."

Qin Changye laughed angrily: "Okay, I am in your way. Okay, let's go."

Patting Maotu's shoulder again, Qin Changye walked away.

When he was halfway there, Maotu seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "By the way, ancestor, we have found the direct descendant of your Qin family in this era."

"He...according to the rules you set, we, the guardians, did not interfere too much with his life. Actually...we wanted to interfere, but we were hindered by your orders..."

Rabbit seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if it was difficult for him to start talking.

Qin Changye saw this, his eyes flickering: "Has he gone astray?"

This road has been a thousand years long. When he woke up before, he had seen his descendants. Some of them took the right path and some took the wrong path.

And every time the guardian tells his descendants something like this, he has gone astray.

Maotu did not answer Qin Changye's question.

But Qin Changye already understood in his heart.

Qin Changye exhaled and sighed slightly, "I'll go see him in the next few days."

The reason why I said it would be in a few days was because Kaiyang would come to see him first.

"it is good."

Rabbit nodded.

Seeing this, Qin Changye left again.

But compared to just now, I feel much heavier.

Wrong path, wrong path...
My Qin family's bloodline...
………………

After Qin Changye left, Maotu began to arrange people to handle things.

Soon,
Maotu seemed to have thought of something, rubbing his forehead with a headache: "Master [Sishe], this Kaiyang human body has spontaneously combusted. I can't bring you Kaiyang's head."

"I can't take back the promise I made."

The Rabbit is quite rigorous in doing things and thinks it is his own fault.

Then, she felt a little sad that Kaiyang, who had caused so much trouble to the court before, just died like this.

Died from his own "poison" technique.

Regarding this "poison" technique, Maotu had seen it with his ancestors in Youzhou many years ago.

It looks very strange, like some magic from the gods, but in fact, there is no magic at work at all.

The cause of spontaneous human combustion is a highly poisonous beetle called the "Red Flame Beetle" that feeds on yellow phosphorus.

This "Red Flame Golden Turtle" will automatically catch fire and turn into ashes if the person is exposed to sunlight. Putting aside these, the words left by Kaiyang before his death are also worth pondering.

He wants to be someone's butcher knife, who is this person? ?
Who has the power to make all the Big Dipper into butchers?

Maotu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the person behind Kaiyang was indeed not simple.

At this time, two of her men came here.

When Maotu heard the sound, he looked behind him immediately.

I see,

The two men were rushing here in a dusty state.

As soon as they arrived here, one of the subordinates bowed and said, "Miss, according to your instructions, the two of us are monitoring the movements of the Dali Temple. Today, the Dali Temple is chasing Jueshui Baiyun, one of the Three Views, and driving him to the Baiyun Warehouse. Everything is going smoothly and everything is going according to your plan."

"only……."

Having said this, the subordinate began to look embarrassed.

Seeing this, Maotu said indifferently: "Is it just that something went wrong with Bai Yuncai? "

"Yeah." The subordinate took a deep breath, calmed his turbulent heart, and forced himself to gradually calm down.

Then he continued, "Bai Yuncai did not let the Dali Temple arrest him as we had planned before."

"In fact, the Dali Temple caught him, but... for some reason, he burned himself up not long after he came out of the Baiyun Warehouse. We really don't understand what happened."

The words fell.

Maotu understood everything completely. Perhaps before Kaiyang's operation today, he and Jueshui had already been smeared with the Red Flame Golden Turtle's poison.

Really, I have thought about all the funeral arrangements.

"I know about this matter, and I have already dealt with Kaiyang."

"You two have worked hard, hurry back to Wangyun Inn and tell them that Chang Kaiyang is dead. However, I, Maotu, need to continue investigating because of other matters."

Generally speaking, when the matter is settled, she will return to Wangyun Inn to report, so as to demonstrate the Taoist's majesty.

But Maotu didn't want to go back.

On the one hand, he boasted that he would capture Kaiyang's head, but the other party's body spontaneously combusted and the head could not be obtained.

Secondly, Kaiyang's words alerted him that she had to take other subordinates with her to search for enemies who were hostile to the ancestor or even the guardian god.

It is her and her subordinates' duty to eliminate all hidden threats for the ancestors.

That’s also the duty of the guardian.

"Miss, I understand!!"

The subordinate bowed and nodded, then quickly left with his companions and went to Wangyun Inn to tell the commander the good news of the day.

........................

Dali Temple.

Even though Bai Yuncai's body spontaneously combusted and there was no evidence to prove his guilt, there was still singing and dancing in the Dali Temple.

A series of evidences that he was Kaiyang were found in Bai Yuncai's residence, including the assassination letter from that time. It was definitely Kaiyang.

His Majesty has given the order that it does not matter whether the mastermind who assassinated His Highness Xiao Sizi lives or dies, as long as the murderer dies.

The Dali Temple has already captured and killed him, so why shouldn't we be happy?

"Congratulations, Lu Shaoqing!!"

"Hahaha, our Shaoqing has solved the case that His Majesty is most concerned about. He will definitely be promoted and given more titles in the future!!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Shaoqing, I'll trouble you to take good care of me in the future."

"When you get promoted and given a higher rank in the future, Mr. Lu, don't forget us, your brothers."

"Come, let me toast to Lu Shaoqing!"

"..."

The Dali Temple was filled with laughter and joy among the many officials.

Lu Qing, the protagonist of this topic, was a little unhappy, but he did not refuse the kindness of the Dali Temple officials and raised his glass to return the gifts one by one.

After greeting the officials from the Dali Temple and seeing that their focus was no longer on him, Lu Qing stood up and walked to a corner.

"What, are you worried?"

He looked at Cao Gongyun who was curled up in the corner.

Cao Gongyun's lips were trembling at this time, he was extremely scared, and he trembled and said, "Lu Shaoqing, I thought that the fear in my heart would be reduced a lot after Kaiyang died, but it is not the case."

Lu Qing was slightly stunned, and asked seriously: "Why is this? Could it be that there is something else going on in Kaiyang's case?!"

Cao Gongyun shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'm just very scared. Mr. Lu, I beg the masters of the Dali Temple to continue to protect me. I really don't feel safe at all."

This….
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Gongyun carefully. He saw that Cao Gongyun's expression did not seem fake. So the question was, Kaiyang was dead, what was Cao Gongyun still afraid of?
"Cao Sixun, are you hiding something from me?"

Lu Qing couldn't help but ask.

Cao Gongyun smiled slightly, but that smile was uglier than crying. He said, "How is that possible? I have said everything I should say."

Qin Luqing looked at him deeply again and said, "You'd better be like this."

After that, he paused, thinking about how he might be able to use Cao Gongyun in the future, and continued, "I will arrange for the Dali Temple's troops to continue to protect you for seven days. Is that okay?"

Cao Gongyun was immediately delighted, and excitedly hugged Lu Qing's hand, saying in a trembling voice: "Lu Shaoqing, thank you! Thank you!"

"It's nothing, Cao Sixun, we are all family."

After saying these thought-provoking words, Lu Qing left.

After he left, Cao Gongyun let out a long breath and walked towards the toilet. Nothing changed along the way, but when he entered the toilet, Cao Gongyun's eyes suddenly became sharp. There was no trace of the previous fear and hesitation.

"With the Dali Temple's men here, I hope you can be cautious and prudent."

Cao Gongyun narrowed his eyes slightly, as if the worries in his heart had not diminished much because of Kaiyang's death.

the other side.

After the Dali Temple banquet ended, Lu Qing found Lu Shi first.

"Haha, Lord Shaoqing, what do you want from me, Lu Shi? Do you want me to buy you some goodies? And then give them to my Dali Temple officials door to door? Haha, after all, you have made such a great contribution, it's time to spend some money."

Lu Shi was extremely cheerful and laughed heartily.

Lu Qing rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Lu Shi, please stop coming here."

"I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Lu Shi asked.

Qin Luqing said seriously: "Help me to monitor Cao Gongyun."

Lu Shi was a little surprised and said, "Surveillance on Cao Gongyun? Shao Qing, why is that? Hasn't the case been solved?!"

Lu Qing let out a long sigh and said with some emotion: "The man has been dealt with, but Cao Gongyun's attitude really makes me concerned."

"Given his previous behavior, he is a dagger hidden in his smile. Once he is disloyal, he cannot be trusted. So most of what he said is just a trick and nonsense. Rather than relying on him to get the information I want, it is better to let you investigate."

Lu Shi suddenly understood.

"I see. In that case, then, Lord Shaoqing, leave this matter to me. I will definitely help you find out what Cao Gongyun is hiding!"

Lu Shiyi spoke sternly and took his leave.
