The fire in Duanmu Qingchen's eyes became more and more fierce: "I think he wants to kill you!"
“Hahahaha—hahaha—” Lian Youyou laughed with her face raised, “There is a kind of love, called loving you so much that I want to kill you, hahaha—”
"You think too much." Duanmu Qingchen said gloomily, the light in his eyes slowly calming down because of depression. How could he fall in love with her? !
When he first entered the shrine and saw Heiyan's infatuated look at her, he felt that his decision to kill Heiyan was absolutely the right one!
Suddenly, chess pieces began to appear one by one on the chessboard that had been quiet for a long time, and they were all white!
In the blink of an eye, those white pieces suddenly appeared in large numbers like bamboo shoots after rain, and they were unstoppable! He immediately stood at the side of the chessboard with an incredible look in his eyes.
Soon, the large groups of white pieces surrounded the few scattered black pieces, as if it was no longer Lian Youyou who was fighting a desperate battle, but him!
"What's going on?!" When Duanmu Qingchen exclaimed, all the life lines suddenly disappeared. Following that, the life line before Lin Shiyue's death gate was instantly extinguished, and it never appeared on the chessboard again. The chess game was instantly plunged into a fog, and no one could see the outcome of Lin Shiyue's fate!
Lian Youyou laughed innocently: "Oh my, no wonder they say that fate will only change more in the end. Look, you just complained that I was pushing it too slowly, but now, even the fate itself can't determine the ending."
Duanmu Qingchen stood there in shock. How come at the final moment, when there were only a few chess pieces left, Lian Youyou's push caused such a huge turn of events that it even changed the chessboard that had already been decided!
This push was so powerful that it could change the situation. Could it be that she was not delaying time on purpose, but was considering the matter? The entire chessboard had always been in his favor, so he did not study it carefully every time Lian Youyou pushed the pieces.
At this moment, her push was the most hesitant one. After pushing it out, a large number of white pieces surrounded him. This was definitely not an unintentional move. If she wanted to turn the tables in the end, she must have buried an ambush before! When exactly was it? When exactly was she pushing those pieces intentionally? !
At this moment, Duanmu Qingchen finally realized the mystery of this chessboard and the importance of the chess pieces. He must have missed something. When was it
Was it when the chess game suddenly changed from Li Juanlan to Lin Shiyue
Or when the dog jumped out
Or... from the beginning!
He was blinded by the advantages in front of him and thought that everything was in accordance with God's will. As a result, Lian Youyou had already taken control of the overall situation without realizing it, or, she had also taken control of herself!
A chill rose from the bottom of his heart. Could he also be a chess piece in this game? In fact, he was controlled by Lian Youyou? Suddenly, between the gates of life and death, a lifeline began to flicker and flicker, erratic, as if he didn't know where to point to.
Lian Youyou smiled and said, "This is going to be a reversal..."
Duanmu Qingchen opened his golden pupils wide and stared at Lian Youyou gloomily. She must be hiding something from him. This game of chess is far from being as simple as just pushing the chess pieces!
In the dark alley, Fu Mingrui was determined and was about to push open the nine doors again. Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps at the entrance of the alley. Fu Mingrui looked over subconsciously and saw that it was Yuchi Jingbei and Zhao Chengwangquan who came. The three of them were in a hurry.
Fu Mingrui naturally knew Yuchi Jingbei. As the leader of the Eight Gates, Fu Mingrui knew many children of officials, both big and small, in the capital. Naturally, he knew the youngest child of the Yuchi family.
However, he was a little confused as to why Yuchi Jingbei came with Wang Quan and the others. Shouldn't Yuchi Jingbei be at the imperial banquet? He should be in the East Suburb Imperial Forest now, so why did he suddenly come here? The biggest reason for his confusion was that this place, not somewhere else, was the Nine Gates. Anyone who suddenly came to the Nine Gates was more surprising than someone who suddenly went to his Eight Gates.
Zhao Cheng and Wang Quan brought Yuchi Jingbei to come hurriedly, and saw Fu Mingrui at a glance, and they were a little surprised. Yuchi Jingbei said that if Fu Mingrui was not in the Eight Gates, he might be in the Nine Gates, and he was right.
"Sir!" Zhao Cheng and Wang Quan stepped forward immediately. Fu Mingrui looked at them with confusion in his heart: "Why are you here?" When he said this, he was actually looking at Yuchi Jingbei behind them.
Yuchi Jingbei took Yun Yao's hairpin and stepped forward without hesitation: "Fu Mingrui, Yun Yao has uncovered a big case that may involve the powerful in Beijing, and it is a serial murder of young girls. She asked you to lead the troops to rescue them!"
This sentence shocked Fu Mingrui. First, serial murder of young girls was a serious criminal case. If it was investigated, he would be punished! Second, it involved the rich and powerful, which was even more troublesome.
But Fu Mingrui is still the leader of the Eight Gates, so he would not rashly send troops to arrest people just because of Yuchi Jingbei's words. His face was calm: "Is the information reliable?!"
Yuchi Jingbei nodded: "Miss Yun Yao has gone to rescue people, Fu Mingrui, you can't not believe it!" Yuchi Jingbei grabbed Fu Mingrui's arm anxiously, "You want to pass the buck just because you heard the word powerful and noble?!" Yuchi Jingbei knew that there were many officials from their Fu family in the court, and this time officials from Fu Kun's faction might be involved. He was afraid that Fu Mingrui would intentionally cover up for him!
Regarding Yun Yao's trust in dealing with Ming Rui, Yuchi Jingbei actually had some doubts in his heart. So many girls disappeared, but none of the Eight Gates disappeared at all. Who knows if someone colluded with Fu Ming Rui to suppress the case intentionally
"Major General Yuchi, please calm down!" Zhao Cheng and Wang Quan stepped forward and protected Fu Mingrui. They looked at Yuchi Jingbei sternly, "Our lords are fair and impartial. In the Eight Gates, if a prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as a commoner!"
Fu Mingrui still looked at Yuchi Jingbei calmly: "What's going on?"
Yuchi Jingbei was also anxious: "You will know when you go there. Saving people is like putting out a fire. Only after saving people can we try the case. Otherwise, by then, there will only be a corpse!" Yuchi Jingbei put the hairpin in front of Fu Mingrui, "Yun Yao said that this hairpin will naturally lead you to the murderer."
Fu Mingrui took the hairpin doubtfully. How could this hairpin lead the way
"That's right." Yuchi Jingbei saw Fu Mingrui's doubts. In fact, no one would believe it after seeing the hairpin. Yuchi Jingbei quickly added, "Yun Yao said that this hairpin was given to her by Sister Youyou. She said that if she said this, you would believe it."
Fu Mingrui was startled. This hairpin belonged to Lian Youyou. He no longer doubted it and looked at Zhao Cheng decisively: "Take 20 people with you and keep a low profile!"
"Yes!" Zhao Cheng left quickly.
Yuchi Jingbei was shocked and wondered who this Lian Youyou was. Why did Fu Mingrui trust her so much just by her name? (To be continued)
