Although Long Xiaoyuan went to bed early, it was actually very late when he really fell asleep.
So, Shi Qingzhou didn't know anything about Shi Qingzhou coming back to take a shower and go to bed!
However, instinctively, Long Xiaoyuan still sensed a familiar reassuring atmosphere around him, so Long Xiaoyuan hugged Shi Qingzhou into his arms not long after Shi Qingzhou went to bed.
Shi Qingzhou turned her head slightly, then raised the corners of her lips and smiled, and nestled in Long Xiaoyuan's arms with peace of mind.
The next day, when Long Xiaoyuan woke up, the first thing he saw was Shi Qingzhou's sleeping face in his arms. This peaceful sleeping face was so beautiful that Long Xiaoyuan couldn't bear to get up for a while. If you move the stone boat by yourself, you will wake up.
Moreover, Long Xiaoyuan also knew that the other party must have come back very late last night...
I also blame myself, I didn't even know when I came back and went to bed!
Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou for a long time, and when he saw that it was almost morning, he quietly got up.
Shi Qingzhou opened his eyes.
Long Xiaoyuan immediately said: "Don't get up, sleep a little longer, it's still early."
Shi Qingzhou blinked and yawned. "An accident happened last night."
Long Xiaoyuan frowned. "Dead again?"
"Well, it's still a watchman." Shi Qingzhou looked a little gloomy, "Manpower protection was arranged, but he was still dead, and there is also something wrong with Tianji Building."
Shi Qingzhou talked about the situation at the Tianji Building, and did not hide anything.
Long Xiaoyuan frowned severely.
After Shi Qingzhou finished speaking, he lay down. "I also found something on Panshan, but I'm not sure. I'll go there again during the day."
"What's found on Panshan?" Long Xiaoyuan asked immediately.
Shi Qingzhou was silent for a while before saying: "Twelve years ago, something happened at the border... Let's talk about it when you come back from the morning court. I will sleep for a while, and I will get up again when you come back from the morning court."
"Okay." Long Xiaoyuan felt sorry for Shi Qingzhou and told him to go to bed quickly.
Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly, then closed her eyes obediently.
Long Xiaoyuan went to the morning court, and the blood-sucking maniac committed another crime, and someone in the court had already expressed concern.
Although it has not yet reached the point of panic, but if it continues like this... It can be seen that it will definitely be like that.
Hu Qingyuan was also ginsenged, saying that he did not protect good people.
Regarding this, Long Xiaoyuan only said one sentence to the person who participated in Hu Qingyuan: "Why don't you leave the job of protection to Mr. Zhang?"
The lord Zhang's face immediately changed, and he admitted his mistake with trepidation.
Long Xiaoyuan didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, and after he came down to court, Hu Qingyuan was called to the Imperial Study Room.
Long Xiaoyuan inquired about what happened last night in detail, and then asked if the other party had any countermeasures.
Hu Qingyuan shared his preliminary thoughts, and Long Xiaoyuan was a little worried.
"The culprits are masters. With the manpower in the Yamen, even those from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I'm afraid they can't do anything to them."
"If there is only one prisoner, no matter how powerful he is in martial arts, the humble official can find a way to stay."
Long Xiaoyuan was silent for a while, knowing that Hu Qingyuan wanted to use the crowd strategy.
However, no matter how many people there are, if the murderer just wants to run away, it may be difficult to keep them.
Frowning, Long Xiaoyuan didn't say anything.
After talking for a while, Long Xiaoyuan told Hu Qingyuan to leave.
After Hu Qingyuan left, Long Xiaoyuan didn't go to Kunning Palace immediately, he wanted his queen to sleep for a while.
By the time Long Xiaoyuan processed some memorials from the imperial study and returned to Kunning Palace where Shi Qingzhou was, it was already past the usual time for breakfast.
Long Xiaoyuan asked his servants to know that Shi Qingzhou hadn't got up before he walked to their bedroom.
However, when Long Xiaoyuan walked to the door, the person on the bed opened his eyes vigilantly.
Long Xiaoyuan felt helpless. "Arguing with you?"
After sleeping for another hour, Shi Qingzhou's mental state is already good now, he sat up and smiled. "No, I'm going to wake up too, I'm hungry."
"Ha." Long Xiaoyuan smiled. "Qingzhou is also hungry sometimes?"
Shi Qingzhou rolled his eyes helplessly. "I am also a mortal, of course there will be times when I am hungry, what do you mean?"
"Hmm..." Long Xiaoyuan walked over with a smile, and hugged Shi Qingzhou's waist, "Because when Qingzhou took the initiative to say that she was hungry, it was really rare, so I was surprised."
Shi Qingzhou blinked, pushed Long Xiaoyuan away, and began to put on clothes.
When Long Xiaoyuan saw this, he helped to serve him. Naturally, Shi Qingzhou would not refuse, and he was used to it long ago.
Long Xiaoyuan helped the man get dressed, and Shi Qingzhou finally buckled his belt.
Long Xiaoyuan looked at the silver belt and blinked. "Qingzhou, this belt..."
"Huh?" Shi Qingzhou turned to look at Long Xiaoyuan.
Long Xiaoyuan blinked again, "Why... it seems a little different from mine."
"It's a whip." Shi Qingzhou said bluntly.
Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then was a little surprised. "Really? Can I see it?"
Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "Of course, but there is something on my whip, you have to be careful."
"Huh? How do you say it?" Long Xiaoyuan asked immediately.
He was not in good health before, and all he could do was watch TV and read novels. He didn't like watching TV very much, so he read novels most of the time.
In novels, it is often introduced that martial arts figures draw weapons from their waists, and their belts are all weapons...
At that time, I still yearned for it, but now that I came to such a place, and the people around me were doing this thing, he didn't usually pay attention to the whip, but now he is naturally very interested.
Seeing Long Xiaoyuan's curious appearance, Shi Qingzhou immediately untied his belt, and then told him where the secrets were hidden, where the poison was hidden, the antidote, where there were thorns, where he could attack...
"Tsk tsk, this is really a treasure." Long Xiaoyuan exclaimed.
Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "Well, it is indeed a baby. Do you want it?"
"Me?" Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "I don't need it."
He was really afraid that he would accidentally touch the poison in his belt. If he didn't get poisoned by others, but was killed by his own mistakes, then he must be the most wronged person in the world. .
Therefore, he should not do such a dangerous thing, he has no confidence in himself.
Long Xiaoyuan said no, Shi Qingzhou naturally wouldn't force it.
After buckling the belt again, the two went outside to have breakfast.
When the breakfast came, Shi Qingzhou told Long Xiaoyuan what happened at the border twelve years ago.
Twelve years ago, it was Shi Qingzhou's first time joining the army, and he didn't go through regular channels.
And at that time, he was too young, only fourteen.
At that time, there was a war at the border, and his father went there, and he had already practiced martial arts, and he also yearned for the life of joining the army, so he went secretly without telling his family.
By the time his father found him, his people had already reached the border. Now that they were all there, it was naturally impossible to drive them back.
So, we can only leave people like that.
Shi Qingzhou, who was less than fourteen, worked very hard. Although he was young, his skills and brains were stronger than many other people. Soon, he emerged and was valued by the higher authorities.
Shi Qingshan is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private. Therefore, no one else knew the identity of his son except himself.
After Shi Qingzhou emerged, he was incorporated into a group.
The work that that group does is cutting-edge work.
That is, on the eve of the war, they will be secretly sent somewhere to do some work to break the enemy's back, or to investigate, and the nature of the danger is very high.
Shi Qingshan once thought about participating, but Shi Qingzhou refused, he wanted to do it. He wants to exercise himself. Long Xiaoyuan's heart ached when he heard this.
Shi Qingzhou felt the other party's worry and smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine now, listen to me."
Long Xiaoyuan sighed. "Okay, you go on."
Shi Qingzhou entered that group, and then, on the eve of the decisive battle, entered the enemy's territory.
Then, they discovered a very strange scene.
Those were some people wearing black cloaks. Those people could actually make the dead stand up!
Just like a corpse chaser, let the dead stand up, and, not only can stand up, but also let the dead attack!
At that time, everyone in Shi Qingzhou's group felt very shabby.
The captain at that time was also a good player, and he was also very courageous. They killed most of the cloaked men and planned to capture two of them alive to ask about this weird situation.
If they kill people, but those killed can still attack, can their war still be won? The fallen will continue to attack them!
They realized that this matter must be clarified. Up to now, there has never been a dead body attacking a person on the battlefield. They must figure it out!
However, what they didn't expect was that the men in black cloaks they captured alive blew themselves up at the same time when they were captured alive.
That's right! It's self-destruct! The whole body exploded, and the brothers responsible for carrying those cloaks were all dead.
They found that the dead bodies that attacked people were a bit strong, but their mobility was not flexible, so it was not difficult to solve them.
They found a medicinal herb on the black cloaked men who were killed.
They took the herb back and burned the bodies.
They were still naked in that war, Shi Qingzhou and the people who went back reported the matter.
Shi Qingzhou met Shi Qingshan alone for this matter.
Later, the herb was tested and said that it would grow in the shade and on the mountains.
And they sent people to continue to check the whereabouts of those men in black cloaks, but those people disappeared completely.
The Northern Kingdom also stopped after losing the war around twelve years ago, and it was not until the past two years that it began to become active again.
Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin after listening.
Shi Qingzhou said again: "I found two cows whose blood had been drained at the Tianji Building. Zou Qingyuan said that the blood of the two cows had been drained and they looked dead, but they had extremely strong attack power. In the end it was him Only by stabbing the cow in the head with a sword can the cow be controlled and killed. So, I went to Panshan last night."
"Have you found that herb?"
"I didn't find the same one, but I found two similar ones. I'm not sure. I'm afraid to scare the snakes. There must be someone watching on Panshan, but those human shadow guards didn't notice it. It can be seen that they are very strong. However, this is also different from the terrain of Panshan. Those people didn’t dare to take a closer look, and I didn’t touch the two herbs I found. But I will go and have a look again during the day, and bring some back for the Tai Hospital to study.”
"No, we can't hand it over to Tai Hospital." Long Xiaoyuan said immediately.
Shi Qingzhou was silent for a while, and nodded. "I understand what you mean... There are a lot of people in the hospital, so there may not be any unclean things in it. Although we have cleaned it twice, there must be omissions."
"En." Long Xiaoyuan nodded. "That's right, so I can only find people who I trust completely. Can Zhang Yuan be transferred back?"
"Yes, just wait until the strange doctor arrives." Shi Qingzhou said about the strange doctor. "When the time comes, I'll send another imperial doctor over there. I always feel that something...is not quite right in our house."
"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows. "How to say?"
"The first person killed by the murderer was too close to our house. Why did Zhou Yuer and Zhou Huan go to Panshan? From Zhou Yuer's mouth, they only asked that they were there for a visit, and if they had nothing to do, they went there for a visit? And Zhou Huan's current situation It's too wrong. There must be something wrong with Zhou Yuer."
"Then why not arrest him and ask him?" Long Xiaoyuan said.
Shi Qingzhou slowly shook his head when he heard the words. "It's not appropriate. Even if Zhou Yu'er has a problem, it's just a chess piece. If she is moved, it will be difficult for those behind to arrest people."
Long Xiaoyuan thought for a while and said, "Did you arrange someone to watch Zhou Yu'er?"
"Naturally, she stared, but she was in the room when the murder happened, and there was no movement."
"Is that so..." Long Xiaoyuan frowned. "I don't think there will be any movement, how is her martial arts?"
"Third rate." Shi Qingzhou said.
"The murderer's martial arts are very high... But Zhou Yu'er brought people up to Panshan, there is indeed a problem, well, put aside the annoying things first, follow the plan today, you go to Panshan to have a look."
"Yeah." Shi Qingzhou nodded.
After breakfast, Shi Qingzhou left the palace directly.
Long Xiaoyuan went to work in the study, and he was not used to not having someone who would accompany him to work with him.
Sighing, Long Xiaoyuan continued to work resignedly.
"But... why do I look like zombies appearing, tsk tsk, this is not the end of the world."
So what dead people attack, dead animals attack... If you think about it with modern people's thinking, you can naturally think of zombies, but that's something that only appears on TV.
Now this is... kind of abnormal.
When Long Xiaoyuan stayed in the study thinking about eschatology, Shi Qingzhou had already gone outside. Instead of going directly to Panshan, he went to Tianji Tower without hiding his whereabouts.
Zou Qingyuan heard that Shi Qingzhou was coming, so he went to the door to pick him up.
Shi Qingzhou went in and asked directly: "Is there any clue on that dog?"
Zou Qingyuan smiled wryly and shook his head. "That dog is a stray dog here. There are many such stray dogs out there. No one knows how this dog appeared in our village. It's really strange. I asked everyone in the villa , I was stunned that no one found out how this dog got in."
Shi Qingzhou heard the words and said lightly: "Then there is only one explanation. Someone brought it in, and it is your own person who is familiar with the terrain and has martial arts. Avoid everyone."
Zou Qingyuan was silent, his face was a little ugly.
The inner ghost... This is the last thing he wants to face, but so far... it seems to be the most likely!
Shi Qingzhou just glanced at the other party's ugly face.
"Brother Zou, this is related to the Tianji Tower, and I hope you can find out as soon as possible."
"I understand." Zou Qingyuan took a deep breath.
Shi Qingzhou knew that the other party was a person who knew how to advance and retreat and what to do and what not to do, so he didn't stay where he was, and left.
The fist at Zou Qingyuan's side clenched a bit, and he gritted his teeth. "Dongzi."
"Guardian." A servant quickly walked over.
"Go and call me all the people in the villa!"
"Yes! Guardian... Do you want to call me Miss?"
Zou Qingyuan thought for a while. "Call here."
"Yes." The servant took the order and left...
