Langchatulu's voice was shrill, Eve's expression changed drastically, and Qining's face also darkened.
The Miao people who followed Langchatulu were all shocked. Two people had already rushed into the house, but Eve had already followed them into the house.
Qining followed Eve in and saw only a wicker chair in the corner of the room. King Damiao was sitting on the wicker chair with his back leaning on the wicker chair, but his head was drooped on his chest. The room was filled with the smell of blood. The light of the oil lamp flickered. Langchatulu knelt at the feet of the Miao King, holding the hand of the Miao King, with a sad expression.
Qi Ning's expression was stern. Through the light, he could see clearly that the chest of Damiao King was stained with blood, and the blood was flowing downwards. It was obvious that he had been killed not long ago.
What shocked Qining was not that King Damiao was killed, but the sharp blade inserted into King Damiao's chest.
Although there was still some distance, Qining could tell at a glance that the sharp blade that pierced the heart of Damiao King seemed to be the cold blade that he had left at his residence.
His heart sank, knowing that he had fallen into a well-designed trap.
"Langchatulu, why is this happening?" Eve's pretty face turned pale and she said in a trembling voice: "King Damiao... How could King Damiao be assassinated?"
Langchatulu turned around with a sad and angry look on his face: "Who are you?"
Eve was startled, then Langchatulu stood up and said sternly: "I knew that Black Rock Ridge was besieged by officers and soldiers. How could you break through the blockade and come to Khe Sanh?" He raised his finger and pointed at Eve, "Who are you? Who is he? Why do you want to be so cruel to King Damiao?"
"What did you say?" Eve was startled and said in horror: "You said... you said it was us...!" An angry look appeared on her face: "Langchatulu, don't talk nonsense."
"Nonsense?" Langchatulu sneered: "Let me ask you, what are you doing here at this time? King Damiao has never seen visitors in these years, unless it is an urgent matter, as long as it is after dark. "The circles around his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched, as if he was about to pounce at any moment.
Eve knew that something was not going well, so she kept calm and said: "Langchatulu, I know you are very angry, but you can't frame a good person. We are here because of the summons of the Damiao King. The Damiao King has something to explain to us. ... But we shouted several times outside, but there was no movement in the house. We didn't dare to enter the house rashly, and we were about to leave, and then you showed up with someone." He frowned and stared at Langchatulu.
Langchatulu said in a deep voice: "You said King Damiao was summoned, then tell me who summoned you and where is he now?"
"He was waiting for us on the other side of the wooden bridge just now." Eve said, "But now... I don't know where I went."
Langchatulu laughed wildly, with anger in his laughter: "You said someone was waiting for you at the wooden bridge? But we didn't see anyone." He shouted sternly: "Take down these two murderers!"
Several Miao people immediately took Qining and Yifu as the main ones and unsheathed their scimitars.
Eve spread her hands and said sternly: "Langchatulu, you dare to take action?"
"If you kill the Miao King, you will be the enemy of the entire Miao Family's Seventy-two Caves." Langchatulu clenched his fist and said fiercely: "We will definitely skin you and cramp you."
"You said we killed the Miao King. What evidence do you have?" Eve said coldly.
Langchatulu sneered, turned around, and said sadly: "Dad, I'm sorry." He stretched out his hand and pulled out the sharp blade from King Damiao's heart. Under the light, Qining could see clearly that the sharp blade used to assassinate King Damiao was really cold. blade.
"You are much more familiar with this knife than I am." Langchatulu held the cold blade and sent it to Eve: "Today you entered the stronghold, but the weapons were left outside the stronghold. One of them is this murderous weapon. ." He looked at Qi Ning and said coldly: "This is a good knife, but I didn't expect that you brought this knife into the stronghold. It turns out there is such a big conspiracy."
It was only then that Eve noticed Han Ren. She had naturally seen it twice before. Her delicate body trembled and her expression changed drastically.
Of course she knew that the death of King Damiao had nothing to do with Qi Ning. The two left their weapons at their residence and came here with bare hands. From the beginning to the end, the two of them stayed together, and Qining had no chance of coming into contact with King Damiao.
"Someone is framed!" Eve understood immediately, "Langchatulu, this knife belongs to us, but... we didn't bring the knife here."
"The evidence is here, and you still have to quibble." Langchatulu gritted his teeth.
At this moment, laughter was heard. Everyone looked over and saw Qining laughing at such a time. Langchatulu frowned and said coldly: "You can still laugh now? Yes. Because the conspiracy succeeded?"
"Eve, you still don't understand what's going on?" Qining sighed: "It's a trap from beginning to end. The trap was set before we saw King Damiao. This cold blade only I’m afraid I’ll be targeted already.”
Langchatulu snorted coldly: "A trap?" He pointed at Qining with a cold blade in his hand and said: "You are obviously a Han family, but you disguise yourself as one of us Miao people. What do you want? You are obviously going up the mountain to look for opportunities to deal with us. It's a pity that the Miao King took action... It's a pity that my father didn't see through your conspiracy."
At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard again, and five or six Miao people rushed in from outside. They actually held bamboo crossbow arrows specially made by the Miao family in their hands, aiming at Qining and Qining.
Qi Ning closed his eyes slightly, but he was already prepared. When these people made the slightest move, he immediately took action. He captured the thief first and captured the king. He controlled Langchadulu first and then moved on. As long as Langchadulu was controlled, these Miao gangs would No one dared to act rashly, but he knew in his heart that at this moment, this group of Miao people had regarded him and Eve as the murderers of the Miao King. If he took the lead, the crime would be confirmed, and jumping into the Yellow River would not be able to clear away the murder.
Eve turned pale.
She went through all the troubles to come to Xishan and met the Miao King. Moreover, the Miao King had promised to send his second son Dandu Gu to meet with Wei Shutong, the governor of Xichuan. He had even made arrangements. If the Miao King intervened, The crisis in the Black Rock Cave will most likely be resolved.
She placed all her hopes on King Damiao, but she never expected that something unexpected would happen to King Damiao just after he made arrangements.
The death of the Miao King was, of course, a shocking tragedy for the Miao family.
Eve's first worry at this time was not her own life or death at all, but the thought of the misfortune that had happened to King Damiao. Naturally, the arrangement just made would not be able to be successfully implemented. As a result, the dawn that had been seen in Heiyan Ridge was extinguished in an instant. .
"Tie them up." Langchatulu waved his hand, and several Miao people had already found rattan ropes and stepped forward to tie up Qining and Eve.
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, a voice was heard, and a man strode in from outside. He was tall and burly and wearing a bandage. It was Dan Du Gu.
Seeing Dandu Bone, Eve ignited a glimmer of hope and immediately said: "Dandu Bone, we did not kill the Damiao King."
Dandu Gu came in, Langchadu Lu frowned, but did not speak. He only saw Dandu Gu walking in front of King Damiao, trembling all over, with a sad look on his face, and kneeling on the ground.
There was sudden silence in the room.
After a while, Dan Du Gu stood up, looked at Langcha Dulu, and asked: "Did King Damiao be killed by them?"
"This is evidence." Langchatulu flashed the cold blade in front of Dandu Gu, "You know, King Damiao ordered the village to strengthen patrols, so these days I personally lead people to patrol the village. Tonight I led a patrol here and saw the two of them sneaking around in front of King Damiao’s house. When I asked them why they were here, they actually said that King Damiao summoned them.”
"We didn't lie." Eve immediately said, "It was the Miao King who sent someone to summon us."
Langchatulu ignored him and continued: "The Miao King will not summon guests at this time. Although I was doubtful, I thought that there might be something big, so I went into the house to ask the Miao King if this was the case, but when I entered After entering the house, I found...!" He bit his teeth, puffed up his cheeks, and said sternly: "When I entered the house, I found that King Damiao had been assassinated on the chair. This knife... this knife was in King Damiao's heart."
Dandu Gu asked: "Whose knife belongs to it?"
"This is the Han family in disguise." A Miao man stood up next to him. "When they entered Dazhai to discuss matters today, one of the two weapons they handed over was this knife."
Qi Ning looked at that person and vaguely remembered that the Miao man who stood up seemed to be the one who collected weapons outside Dazhai today.
Eve only hoped that Dandu Gu could figure out the truth, and immediately told what happened, and then said: "The man said that he wanted to see the Damiao King and could not bring weapons, so our weapons were left at the residence. The Damiao King was assassinated. , has nothing to do with us, someone must have stolen the weapons and put the blame on us." He sneered and said: "If we really assassinated the Miao King, would we still leave the weapons here to leave evidence for you?"
"No one can testify to what you said." Langchatulu sneered: "As for your assassination of the Miao King, we have both human and material evidence. If we hadn't happened to bump into you, of course you would have taken away the murder weapon. But we happened to be on patrol. When you got here, you were in a panic and had no time to deal with the murder weapon, so we just caught it." He stared at Dandu Gu and asked: "Dandu Gu, these two people killed Dad, what do you think should be done with them? ?”
"King Damiao said that many things should not be impatient and should be investigated thoroughly." Dandu Gu was silent for a moment, his eye circles were red, but he still said calmly: "If they assassinated King Damiao, what was the reason? Why did they attack Damiao The king is so vicious? What is the conspiracy behind this? We must find out."
Langchatulu said angrily: "What do you mean by this? Isn't it clear enough that we are there with our own eyes and have physical evidence in hand?"
"Of course it's not enough." Dandu Gu said solemnly: "You need a motive to kill someone. Even if they kill someone, they still have to find out who was behind it." Pointing at Eve, he said: "She is from the Black Cave and needs a big seedling. The king helps them solve their difficulties, why would he attack the Damiao King at this time?"
"Perhaps she is not Eve at all, nor is she from the Black Cave." Langchadulu said: "These two people came up the mountain in disguise, just to find an opportunity to attack." He sneered: "Dandu Gu , do you want to cover them?"
