On a bright night in the bridal chamber, when the names of the gold medals were named, this was the happiest moment in life, but at this moment, the atmosphere in the bridal chamber seemed a bit solemn.
"My lord, are you saying that General Bronze kills people and takes blood to... save his life?" Ximen Zhanying had a look of surprise on her beautiful face.
Qi Ning reached over and poured two cups of tea, and then said: "Zhan Ying, think about it, the Bronze General sneaked into the house and approached our residence, what is his purpose? Duan Canghai is right, the Bronze General is indeed here Looking for me, no matter what his purpose is, this is the plan he prepared from the beginning."
Ximen Zhanying blinked slightly and nodded.
"But he didn't go according to plan, but suddenly killed Sulan. Why?" Qining sneered: "After thinking about it, there is only one possibility. The other party may have suffered from a strange disease, or maybe , he suffered a very strange injury, and fresh human blood must be used to alleviate the physical changes." He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then continued: "After the Bronze General sneaked into the house, he has not found me yet. There was something wrong with his body. Under that situation, he was no longer able to cause trouble for me anymore, so he had to find someone to kill him first and get his blood. But his body was already very weak at that time, so he couldn't hit it with one hit, so Sulan let out He screamed, causing the guards in the mansion to react quickly. The Bronze General took a few mouthfuls of blood in a hurry and fled in a hurry before the guards noticed."
"After he took a few mouthfuls of blood, his body did not recover immediately, so when he walked around, his steps were sloppy and left messy footprints." Ximen Zhanying added: "But even though there were only a few mouthfuls of blood, he still let his His body recovered quickly, so when he left the woods, he was able to use Qing Kung Fu and escape without leaving a trace."
Qi Ning nodded and said: "Not bad."
When Ximen Zhanying thought of the horrific scene of the Bronze General absorbing human blood, she felt a little chilly in her heart. She couldn't help but hold Qining's hand and said worriedly: "Ms. sir, then he... why did he come to you? And it happened just before we got married. night?"
"He should think that tonight is a good time to take action." Qining said: "On my wedding night, I drank too much with the guests at the banquet table. He will definitely think that I drank too much, and his vigilance will be greatly reduced. Plus, On... In addition, if the two of us want to consummate our marriage, we will definitely be unprepared, and he can look for opportunities to take action. But if the Bronze General dares to come to see me, he must be very skilled, and he must have planned it in advance, no matter what happens, Whether you succeed or not, you can escape unscathed."
Ximen Zhanying frowned, bit her lip, and said quickly: "I will go to the Shenhou Mansion tomorrow to find the second senior brother, and I must let them solve the case quickly. I can't... I can't let the Bronze General keep thinking about you."
Qining felt Ximen Zhanying's concern for him, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pull Ximen Zhanying over, let him sit on his lap, hugged Ximen Zhanying's waist, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Bronze General Although it's great, your husband is not a vegetarian." There was a hint of chill in his eyes, and he sneered: "And General Bronze's actions tonight have provided us with many clues to track him down."
"Has your husband found clues?"
Qi Ning said: "It is self-evident that this person is in the capital, and we have already analyzed that he must be an official in the court and even have the experience of commanding troops. In other words, he is a member of the court. General."
Ximen Zhanying nodded slightly, and Qining continued: "This person must be suffering from a strange disease, and he is very good at martial arts. In this way, the number of suspects will be greatly reduced. As long as we investigate which generals in the capital are suffering from Weird diseases can be added to the list of suspects.”
Ximen Zhanying frowned and said, "A general suffering from a strange disease?" Suddenly, her delicate body trembled. Qining saw her beautiful face turned pale and said softly: "What's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing." Ximen Zhanying's eyes flashed with panic.
Qi Ning couldn't see what Ximen Zhanying was thinking, and said softly: "I know what you are thinking. You are thinking that my father-in-law is also suffering from a strange disease now, and he is very good at martial arts, so you are worried that I will doubt my father-in-law." .”
Ximen Zhanying looked into Qi Ning's eyes and whispered: "Ms. sir, my father... my father will never be a bronze general."
"Silly girl, why are you so worried?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "My father-in-law is a great minister, how can I suspect that he is a bronze general?"
Ximen Zhanying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes... it's just my wild thoughts."
"My father-in-law is the god of the Shenhou Mansion. Let's say something disrespectful. If he really needs human blood, why would he do it himself?" Qining sighed: "The Big Dipper is loyal to the god. You can dispatch anyone at will to provide him with a steady stream of fresh blood, but you still have to worry about blood?" He lowered his voice and said, "You are from the Shenhou Mansion, and you should know that even if your father-in-law lets someone do such a thing, you won't have to worry about it. Nothing will be revealed."
Ximen Zhanying's face looked slightly solemn, but he nodded and said: "Mr. sir, this... this is the two of us talking in the house. The second senior brother and the others obey my father's orders, and sometimes the imperial edicts are not as good as my father's words. Among the Big Dipper, most of them are my father who came from childhood. They regard my father as their father, and my father also regards them as his own children." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "If it were my father... If my dad really tells them to do those things, they will do it."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "That's it, so don't worry about it. There are not only 500 but also 300 generals in the capital, and naturally no one will know about the generals suffering from strange diseases." After thinking for a moment, he said: "Many people hide their secrets. Maybe some people have great martial arts skills, but they are not known to everyone."
Ximen Zhanying said: "The Shenhou Mansion has detailed information about many generals. Since we have narrowed down the scope of suspicion, we can just leave it to the Second Senior Brother and the others to investigate."
"Okay, it's almost dawn, and there may be a lot of things to do tomorrow." Qining hugged Ximen Zhanying and said, "We can still take a nap. If we stay up too late, it won't be pretty." Holding him in his arms. Ximen Zhanying returned to Japan.
Although he spoke lightly, it was just to not affect Ximen Zhanying's mood, but his mood was very heavy.
The next morning, most people in the mansion still didn't know what happened last night. Qi Feng and his people stayed outside Gu Qinghan's yard all night, but nothing happened. They dispersed before dawn, but Gu Qinghan didn't know either.
Duan Canghai secretly disposed of Su Lan's body, but the whereabouts of the ugly man was never found overnight.
Qining learned that Chouhan was missing the next day, and felt even more strange. Since Chouhan was brought back to the house, he had hardly gone out and stayed in the house day and night. However, Chouhan disappeared on the night Sulan was killed. It's really weird.
Gu Qinghan got up very early and prepared gifts for Ximen Zhanying when he returned home.
Because the two families are very close, they can return home the day after they get married. This is also to show respect for the gods. Qining and Ximen Zhanying had breakfast, brought the gifts prepared by Gu Qinghan, and took the carriage back. Live happily.
Xianleju was as quiet as ever. After one night, Ximen Zhanying changed from a girl to a young woman. It seemed that even her temperament had changed overnight. Perhaps it was because of the different buns, but her whole body exuded the unique charm of a young woman. breath.
After entering the yard, he saw green smoke curling up from the kitchen. Qin Ning asked someone to put the gifts away. When he, Ximen and Ying arrived outside the kitchen door, they saw Ximen Wuhen, wearing a light gown, working in the kitchen, but Ximen Shen Hou obviously rarely entered the kitchen on weekdays and seemed a little overwhelmed. Ximen Zhanying looked at it funny outside the door, so he walked over, rolled up his sleeves and said: "You go over, I'll do it!"
Only then did Ximen Wuhen see his daughter and son-in-law coming. He laughed and said to Qining: "Sit in the living room." After leaving the kitchen, he washed his hands and led Qi Ning to the living room. There were no servants in Xianleju, so Qining went there by himself. After pouring tea for the god and himself, he saluted Ximen Wuhen and said, "Father-in-law!"
Ximen Wuhen smiled and said: "You know my temper, so there is no need for these red tapes. I thought you would come two days later, why did you come so early?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Zhan Ying was worried that his father-in-law would not have enough to eat at home, so he came over early to take a look."
"Hahaha, this girl." Ximen Wuhen's complexion seemed to have improved slightly, but he no longer looked as energetic as before. He also seemed to have forgotten the last time he kicked Qining and Tang Nuo out of the house. He picked up the tea cup, took a sip and then smiled and said: "You also know her temperament. Sometimes she will inevitably be a little spoiled, but this girl has a pure and kind temperament. If there are any conflicts in the future, please be tolerant to each other."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, my son-in-law will not let Zhan Ying be wronged." Qi Ning said respectfully.
Ximen Wuhen nodded, and then said: "The Northern Expedition of the imperial court is about to begin, and the emperor must use you to do things. I will leave as soon as I give the decree. After I go out, I don't know when I will come back. Please spend more time with her."
Qi Ning nodded and finally said: "There is one thing that I shouldn't say, but...!"
"It's okay to talk if you have anything to say." Ximen Wuhen said with a smile: "Here today, you are not the Protector of the Country, and I am not a god. You are my son-in-law, and I am your father-in-law. It is normal to chat."
"Yes." Qi Ning said: "Father-in-law, last night... the Bronze General appeared again."
Ximen Wuhen was holding a cup of tea. Hearing this, his hands moved for a moment, turned around, and frowned: "Bronze General?"
Qi Ning did not hide anything, so he told what happened last night. Ximen Wuhen looked solemn, put down the teacup, and said: "Why did the Bronze General come to you? He killed people and sucked blood last night. It must be because things have changed, not Intentional to kill."
Qi Ning said: "My son-in-law thought that the Bronze General's target was indeed me at the beginning, but something might have happened later, so he killed the maid and sucked her blood, changing his original plan."
Ximen Wuhen pondered for a moment, then said: "This person should be a military commander in the court, and he is very good at martial arts, otherwise he would not dare to sneak into your mansion to do things." After a pause, his eyes were deep, and he sneered: "He should be He was injured!"
