Distressed wife

Chapter 1786 I Killed Her (4)
"I was slaughtered." Xuanyuan Ye stepped forward, looked at the dead bodies, and sighed.

Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes slightly, "These people?"

"The body is still warm, presumably he just left." Xuanyuan Ye looked at Mu Ziyan, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave as soon as possible."

"En." Mu Ziyan nodded, then followed Xuanyuan Ye and turned to leave.

When he got out of the bamboo forest, he walked up to Yelumin and Yelu Feiran, and told them what he saw in the bamboo forest.

"Strange, in broad daylight, who would do such an act, let alone beheaded." Yelumin looked at Xuanyuan Ye in puzzlement.

Yelu leaned closer to Mu Ziyan, "The matter of Licheng has not been resolved, but now there is a murder incident, Ruocheng is probably a place of right and wrong."

Mu Ziyan nodded and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we'd better hurry on our way."

"Okay." Several people responded, then got into the carriage, got on the horse, and continued on their way.

Arrived at Ruocheng overnight, but there was lifelessness everywhere, it seemed that except for the soldiers guarding the city, there was not even a single person on the street.

Those soldiers also had a cold face and a fierce look on their faces. They searched for a long time, but they never saw an inn to welcome guests. In the end, they had no choice but to stay in the ruined temple.

Yelu frowned wildly, looked at the ruined temple in front of him, then turned to look at Mu Ziyan, "Sister Mu, why is Ruocheng so strange?"

"Just say that Ruocheng is the most comfortable place. When I came many years ago, it was still very lively." Yelumin muttered.

"The people who died in the bamboo forest are like the people of Ruocheng." Xuanyuan Ye said flatly, "It seems that Ruocheng is about to become a dead city."

"Dead City?" Yelu Feiran couldn't help but tremble a few times, feeling that this place was getting weirder and weirder.

Mu Ziyan was silent for a long time, "It seems that the road ahead will become more and more difficult, especially since the people behind seem to have set up a net to wait for us."

"I'd like to see how capable he is." Yelumin snorted coldly.

Mu Ziyan looked at Yelumin, "Just say that the prince is hiding something, and now the emperor's position is unstable, and there are still people behind this who want to usurp the throne."

Yelumin narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued, "That's true, although I don't know what the two of you are looking for when you come to the court, but I think this matter should be related to the person who wants to seek the throne behind the scenes. "

"This person and the person behind him are already working hand in hand." Mu Ziyan said bluntly, "But the person who knows Chaoguo so well, and based on the current situation, it seems that person has already controlled the southern forces of Chaoguo."

"The dynasty has been stable for these years, but it has been in constant civil war." Yelumin sighed and said, "Now the emperor is quite troubled because of this matter. After all, there are endless civil strife, and the dynasty will also fall into panic. .”

"In addition, the secrets of the court have been known to the outside world, so it is even more difficult now." Mu Ziyan said bluntly.

"That's right." Yelumin looked at Mu Ziyan, "I'm following you two now, and I just want to find the person behind it as soon as possible."

"Since everyone has the same goal, we have taken care of them along the way." Xuanyuanye said flatly.

"Exactly." Yelumin looked at Mu Ziyan and said, "I just don't know why you two are here?"

"Look for the person behind the scenes." Xuanyuan Ye said quickly.

Yelumin nodded slightly, and continued, "This matter is really difficult."

"As long as we keep going south, the closer they get to the truth, the more they will be terrified. The greater the danger, the more it means that there is a problem in the south." Mu Ziyan looked at Xuanyuanye and said.

"Yan'er is right." Xuanyuan Ye nodded in agreement, and then said unhurriedly, "If there are murderous intentions lurking in this city, we'd better be more careful."

"What about Licheng?" Yelu Feiran was listening, but still couldn't help worrying about Jie'er.

Mu Ziyan continued, "Sister Feiran, the place from the city has already passed."

"That's the only way." Yelu said helplessly.

Several people rested in the ruined temple for one night, and the next day, Xuanyuanye and Yelumin went to find the inn, but there was a dead silence outside, there was no one at all, except for the patrolling soldiers.

The two were inevitably interrogated, and Yelumin revealed his identity immediately. After the county magistrate of Ruocheng learned about it, he rushed over and greeted them to the post station.

Yelu Feiran followed Mu Ziyan all the time, raised her eyes to look into the distance, and said, "Sister Mu, how come there is no one in sight in broad daylight?"

Mu Ziyan looked up at her, and then said, "I'll go for a walk."

"I'll accompany you." Yelu Feiran didn't dare to be alone.

"Okay." Mu Ziyan nodded, and left the station with Yelu Feiran.

"By the way, Sister Mu, why didn't I see Wugui?" Yelu looked at her frantically and asked.

"He doesn't know where to join in the fun." Mu Ziyan replied with a smile.

"Oh." Yelu Feiran nodded slightly, and walked on the street with Mu Ziyan for a long time, but he really didn't see a single person.

Xuanyuan Ye followed slowly, and after a while, he continued, "I heard that a murderous monster has appeared here in the past few days, so the common people dare not go out."

"Murderer?" Mu Ziyan turned to look at Xuanyuanye, "Could it be related to the corpse in the bamboo forest?"

"En." Xuanyuan Ye nodded, "So, martial law has been imposed in this city."

"Oh." Mu Ziyan didn't expect that there would be a murder case in Ruocheng, but what kind of murderous monster is able to kill so many people, and only leave the corpses, not the heads.

Xuanyuan Ye also felt strange, but now every time he went to a town, he would encounter something, which made him feel that the journey was getting more and more difficult.

Yelu frowned, "Then let's go back."

"Okay." Mu Ziyan knew that Yelu Feiran was a little scared, so she turned and went back to the station.

Xuanyuanye and Mu Ziyan sat together, looking at each other, "What do you think this murderer in Ruocheng is for?"

"I don't know." Xuanyuan Ye did not guess it yet, but he was always worried that the two people from the city would chase after him, or there were other strange things here.

Mu Ziyan supported her chin, thought for a while and said, "If we don't find anything tomorrow, we will leave and we can't stay here too long."

"Okay." Xuanyuan Ye readily responded.

Suddenly there was a scream from outside, Mu Ziyan and Xuanyuan Ye got up quickly and rushed out.

I saw a red shadow descending, holding a blood-red long knife in his hand, quickly killed the soldier guarding the station, and immediately chopped off his head.
