The cold night was bleak, and the fields were vast. The north wind blew through the night, blowing on the face like a knife.
Ximen Wuhen's expression remained unchanged, he said softly "Oh" and said calmly: "I am a bronze general?"
"The God Lord is a great big shot. Do you dare to do it or not?" Qi Ning also said calmly.
Ximen Wuhen smiled slightly and said: "Didn't you already find out that General Bronze is Lao San? It was precisely because you caught Lao San on the spot. He is still imprisoned in Shenhou Mansion. Why did you suddenly say that I am Lao San? Bronze General?"
"Third senior brother is just a scapegoat." Qin Ning sighed: "Third senior brother regards the god as his father, so he made a huge sacrifice. Not only did he not even care about his reputation, he even didn't care about his own life."
Hong Mendao had been lurking in the Northern Han Dynasty all year round and knew nothing about the case of the Bronze General that happened in the capital of Jianye. At this time, he was a little confused when he heard the conversation between the two.
But he knew the rules and never said another word when he knew he shouldn't.
Ximen Wuhen raised his head slightly and said, "So are you sure that the third child must have suffered on behalf of someone else?"
"Actually, I know that the martial arts of General Bronze is far beyond that of Third Brother." Qining said: "The day Third Brother was arrested, I knew that something was fishy. Before that time, General Bronze had been in trouble for a long time. There was no time to commit the crime, but the Bronze General suddenly sneaked into my mansion and even killed a maid in my mansion. The death of the maid made me conclude that it was the Bronze General."
Ximen Wuhen's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Why does General Bronze want to go to your mansion?"
"I couldn't figure out why before." Qi Ning sighed: "I always thought he wanted to assassinate me, but now I finally understand that the Bronze General's target is not me, but the Youhan Pearl."
"Youhan Pearl?"
"The God himself also said that the Youhan Pearl is a panacea that can only be found but cannot be found." Qining stared into Ximen Wuhen's eyes: "Maybe the Bronze General is suffering from a terminal illness and needs the Youhan Pearl to cure the disease, or maybe another With his picture, it doesn’t matter what the reason is. What’s important is that he got the news and knew that the Youhan Pearl was in my hands. And that night, he really couldn’t wait any longer, so he sneaked into the Hou Mansion to take action. Who knows An accident happened suddenly, and before I saw him, the disease suddenly broke out."
Ximen Wuhen murmured: "That's really unfortunate."
"It's really unlucky." Qi Ning said: "In that case, there was only one way to relieve the pain, which was to suck people's blood. He happened to meet the maid, so he took her to the woods and killed her. The Queen of Maid sucks her blood.”
Ximen Wuhen nodded and said, "The Bronze General really likes to suck human blood."
"Originally, after he recovered from drinking human blood, he could still move, but he was really unlucky that night." Qining sighed: "The maid had a deep relationship with the ugly man in the house, and the maid made a sound when she was dying Although the cry was short, it was heard by the ugly man. It was nothing more than someone else's cry, but the maid's cry might be familiar to the ugly man, so he was the first to follow the sound and look for it. The Bronze General had just As soon as he started sucking blood, someone came to him. He knew that once he was surrounded by people in the Hou Mansion, he might not be able to escape, so he had no choice but to flee in a hurry. But when the ugly man saw the Bronze General killing his favorite maid, naturally I won’t let it go.”
On the night of the incident, Su Lan was killed, but the ugly man disappeared and could not be found. Even afterward, Qining didn't know where the ugly man had gone, but now he has completely figured it out.
The ugly man has unparalleled speed, but also has a sense of smell that is beyond ordinary people, just like a hound. Maybe he has firmly remembered the breath of the Bronze General that night.
"I don't know if the Goddess still remembers it. After the Bronze General case happened, I went to ask you specifically. We said at that time that the Bronze General was not an ordinary person. He was probably a general of the imperial court." Qi Ning said slowly: "And that person has always lived in the capital."
Ximen Wuhen said: "I remember."
"Shenhou is ill, but he has been hiding it." Qi Ning said: "But paper can't cover up the fire after all. Shenhou's condition is getting more and more serious. You can hide it from outsiders, but you can't hide it from Zhan Ying, but you can't hide it from Zhan Ying." You can't explain too much to Zhan Ying. Although Zhan Ying is impulsive, she is not stupid. You know that the more you explain, the more trouble you may have. But that time you had an illness and I happened to run into you, you knew something was wrong. You didn't I'm sure I guessed something, but this matter is a trouble after all. After what happened in my house that night, you are even more worried that I will suspect you."
Ximen Wuhen was silent for a while, and finally said: "You are a smart man. I believe you had doubts about me at that time."
"Yes, I do have suspicions, but I am not sure, and I don't want to believe that the Imperial God is a vampire demon." Qining smiled bitterly: "But in order to remove the suspicion, you immediately came up with a way to find someone. A scapegoat came to replace you, and Third Senior Brother became a tool for you to use."
Although Hong Mendao knew nothing about the Bronze General case, he already understood a little bit after hearing the conversation between the two. There was a look of horror in his eyes, but he flashed past, lowered his head and said a word Not sent.
"That day Zhan Ying and I went to the Shenhou Mansion to meet the senior brothers. The third senior brother arrived late. The most surprising thing was that he suddenly fell to the ground at the dinner table." Qining shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Of course all of this is The third senior brother deliberately wanted to show it to me. He knew that in this way, I would definitely suspect him. This is exactly the purpose of God waiting for you and the third senior brother, so I stayed outside the third senior brother's house that day. Let’s see what happens next.”
"As expected of the man Zhan Ying likes." Ximen Wuhen raised his hand to stroke his beard: "You are indeed not stupid."
"Third Senior Brother did indeed act that night, and he happened to be caught by us." Qi Ning said: "I don't know whether Second Senior Brother was ordered by the gods to act out this scene with you, or whether that night was just a coincidence. The second senior brother led people to capture the third senior brother on the spot and brought him back to the Shenhou Mansion, so the third senior brother naturally became the blood-sucking demon, while the Shenhou was naturally innocent."
Ximen Wuhen laughed and said: "Not bad, not bad, well-founded. I am really impressed by you."
"Honor, actually, I have never believed that you are the Bronze General." Qining looked solemn and said slowly: "To this day, the ugly man followed you to the northwest, and...!" He raised his finger and pointed to the sheepskin on the ground not far away. Bag: "And that thing, finally made me understand the cause and effect of the matter."
"oh?"
"The sheepskin bag contains human blood." Qi Ning said: "If I guessed correctly, God has been killing innocent people indiscriminately in the past two days. He took the blood and stored it. He was worried that the disease would occur on the way."
Hong Mendao suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "Shen Hou, then... isn't that the bag of sheep blood?"
Ximen Wuhen didn't even look at Hong Mendao, and said coldly: "Qining, even if you know everything now, what can you do? Yes, I am the Bronze General, and the blood-sucking case in the capital is exactly what I did."
"It's no wonder that the case of the Bronze General has never been resolved." Qining shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "The Shenhou of the Shenhou Mansion is the real culprit behind the scenes, but he asked the people of the Shenhou Mansion to investigate the case. After a thousand years, how can we find out the results?" After a pause, he said: "The God took me to the Snowy Mountains this time, but you want the Dharma King Zhuri to diagnose and treat your illness? I took the Youhan Pearl, You took me hostage and handed me over to Dharma King Zhuri, hoping to please Dharma King Zhuri. I wonder if I am right?"
Ximen Wuhen just sneered without explaining.
"Actually, the gods really don't have to be like this." Qi Ning said: "As far as I know, there are two great doctors in the world, Dong Miao and Xili. They are both very skilled in medicine. If you want to treat a disease, you should look for these two talents. Yes, why go all the way to find Dharma King Chasing the Sun?"
"Are you talking about Miao Wuji and Li Xigong?" Ximen Wuhen said with a disdainful smile: "These two people are just proficient in pharmacology. I...hehe, they don't have that kind of ability yet."
Qi Ning frowned, even more suspicious.
Li Xigong is the medical envoy of the Black Lotus Sect, and Miao Wuji is a vicious-hearted old woman. Miao Wuji originally set a trap in the Ghost Bamboo Forest to use Qining as medicinal materials. After the failure, he was taken to Baiyun by the master of Baiyun Island. Island, but the medical skills of these two people are world-famous.
Tang Nuo was a disciple of Li Xigong, and his medical skills were already very good. Li Xigong's medical skills were naturally even more unpredictable. Although Miao Wuji was deceitful and sinister, he was as famous as Li Xigong, and his medical skills were certainly He was also extremely clever, but Ximen Wuhen dismissed these two great medical masters and even said that they were incapable of curing his illness, which really surprised Qi Ning.
If his guess was correct and Ximen Wuhen took him to the Snowy Mountains to seek medical treatment, wouldn't the medical skills of Dharma King Zhuri be even better than those of Dongmiao Xili
"Don't delay." Ximen Wuhen had just drank human blood. His complexion had already recovered, and he looked quite energetic. He walked towards the carriage with his hands behind his back and ordered: "Lao Wu, let's go!"
Hong Mendao went over to pick up the sheepskin bag, followed quickly, and asked: "God, that ugly man escaped, let's...!"
"Don't worry about him." Ximen Wuhen sneered: "He died before dawn. Wolves are infested in this area, and the corpse will be torn clean by the wolves soon. The ghost of that beast is still there. Let's let him go today." He literally went underground to be a ghost.”
Qi Ning thought that the ugly man escaped with injuries. When he heard what Ximen Wuhen said, he was shocked and angry: "Shen Hou, you... you killed him?"
"My heart-breaking palm is enough to burst his heart." Ximen Wuhen said solemnly: "That beast has been following me, like a fly by my side. Is it strange that I swat a fly to death?" He walked towards the carriage. Walking over, Qi Ning clenched his hands and looked in the direction where the ugly man was fleeing. The cold night was cold and everything he saw was dark, like a monster's mouth devouring everything.
