Shengjing Conspiracy

Chapter 45, 9 Remains of Li

"What's wrong?" Wen Youqing thumped in his heart when he saw that his expression was wrong.

The corners of Jiangnan Xing's eyes trembled, and he pointed behind him, "I don't quite understand the explanation, you should come and see for yourself."

"What's wrong with your clothes?" Xiao Wu looked at his clothes and asked, Jiang Nanxing replied: "It's just a mark."

Everyone followed Jiangnan Xing to the place he mentioned. This is the middle part of the valley, covered with weeds and some distance from the road. People who are on the road will not go to this place on weekdays.

Wen Youqing wanted to go forward, but Jing Yun stopped him and Xiao Wuan San to go there first, and opened up the weeds as tall as a man, and the goal was an empty flat land, the difference was that there were tombstones standing there .

It was cold and gloomy, and there seemed to be someone wailing and crying in the ears. It happened that a gust of wind blew up the paper money on the grave at this time, making it even more strange.

No matter when, tombstones don't feel very good to people. If there are a lot of tombstones, the feeling will be doubled. The number of tombstones is so large that everyone can't count them for a while.

There wasn't much fear on Wen Youqing's face, but it wasn't too pretty either. He just felt empty and suffocated by death, and had nothing else to think but shock for a moment.

"Why don't these tombstones have names?" Jiang Nanxing walked to a tombstone in front of him. There was no word on the flat surface of the tombstone. It was so empty that one wondered if there were really bones buried underneath.

Wen Youqing glanced at the other tombstones roughly, "Yeah, why are there no names? Then who are these tombstones for?"

The two of them were guessing, Jing Yun stroked his chin and thought for a while, then called Xiao Wu to come over, and asked Xiao Wu to get some shovels nearby, so that they were all prepared before they came.

"You don't intend to dig the grave, do you?" Wen Youqing looked at Jing Yun with twitching corners of his mouth, this man is really simple and rude.

"If you don't have a name, open the grave and see what's hidden underneath." Jing Yun said indifferently. He has seen more life and death. Piles of corpses on the battlefield flowed into rivers. What is in front of you is much more exciting.

Xiao Wu and An San quickly returned with their shovels, "General, which one should you dig first?"

After digging the grave anyway, Jing Yun pointed to the tomb in front of him, "Let's start with this."

Little five and three are quick workers, and the grave was quickly dug up.

Wen Youqing leaned over, looked at the coffin below, and tapped, "It's made of fir, not an expensive material, but there is little rain and the soil is dry here, otherwise the coffin might have started to rot."

Jing Yun jumped into the pit, pulled out the dagger from his boots, and inserted it along the seam of the coffin, "You all cover your mouth and nose, and hold your breath."

After making sure that everyone was covered, Jing Yun used all his strength to pry open the coffin and dodged quickly, waiting for the smell in the coffin to dissipate before returning to the pit.

At this time, everyone also saw the scene inside the coffin clearly. Inside was a pale corpse with tattered clothes hanging on it and dark spots on the clothes.

"This man is wearing the uniform of the army." Jing Yun grabbed the skeleton with a dagger, "Yan Yan, come and have a look, what is this word?"

Wen Youqing took a closer look, and said in a deep voice, "Li, the word for Li in Jiuli."

Why are there soldiers wearing Jiuli livery here? It has been hundreds of years since Jiuli destroyed the country. Where did these soldiers come from? !

"Let someone take back all the bones here." Jing Yun took out a command arrow, "Someone will come here soon, third child, you stay here and guard."

Wen Youqing looked around again, and after confirming that there was not much difference between each grave, she followed Jing Yun to continue walking.

Everyone walked in, and soon saw some white bones scattered on the ground. There were quite a few of them, and they looked a little creepy.

"What's the matter with this valley? It's either a grave or a bone." Jiang Nanxing widened his eyes, thinking that this capital is really exciting, and the people who died in the rivers and lakes are nothing compared to this place.

He squatted down and picked up a bone with a handkerchief, and dropped it casually, "This is not a human bone, it's from a livestock. It should be from a cow based on its size."

"Cow?" Wen Youqing rubbed his chin, "There is a lot of fodder here, and there are livestock manure on the side of the road. There should be a lot of cattle and sheep here." He remembered something, "Recently, the number of reported cases of lost livestock like this Rarely, Dali Temple generally does not handle such cases, and there may be more cases in Shuntian Prefecture."

"This is normal. Most livestock breeders keep a lot of livestock. They don't care much if they lose one or two. They just think that they lost it by themselves. The old man only raised a cow, so he cares so much." Jing Yun He said that he stayed in the border town all year round, and there were more people raising livestock there, so he knew something about it.

Wen Youqing understood, such words made sense.

"Looking at the small number, there are more than a dozen of them. If you pass by by chance, you will definitely not eat so many." Jing Yun sneered, "If these 'ghost soldiers' are really ghosts, do they still eat food from the world? , it is estimated that they are hiding around here and waiting to come out at night to play tricks."

Everyone agreed with Jing Yun's words. Wen Youqing poked his arm and looked at him with a smile, "Brother Yun, just borrow a few people."

"You want to take these back too?" Jiang Nanxing looked at him.

Wen Youqing shook her head, "No, this 'ghost soldier' ​​must find a place to live in the valley. I need someone to check the cave here."

Jing Yun understood what he was thinking, "Third, you should investigate this valley, mainly to see if there are any caves and traces of life."

He gave the task to the dark guard, seeing that it was getting late, everyone also walked back.

After entering the city, Jiangnan Xing still went to the Qin Pavilion, Jing Yun sent Wen Youqing back to the mansion, and he went back to the mansion himself.

As soon as she returned to her place, Wen Youqing sat lazily on the couch as if she had no bones, and Jian Jia came over with some tea, "My lord, I have a letter from the Eastern Palace, saying that I want you to enter the palace for a briefing."

Wen Youqing flicked the pages of the book, and said calmly, "Did you say what it is?"

Jian Jia shook her head, even if something happened, she would not tell her a maid.

"After I enter the palace tomorrow, if I haven't returned within two hours, you can go to Jing Yun." Wen Youqing didn't forget what she found in the border town, and she pretended to obey in the later stage, and she didn't know whether Ku also told Rong Zhengfeng.

He let out a long sigh, put the matter out of his head, looked at the scripture in his hand, and thought in his heart, the prince couldn't just kill him when the soldiers came to cover him up.

On the other side, when Jing Yun returned to the General's Mansion, a young man greeted him, "Fourth, what's going on with Yan Yan today?"

The young man is the dark fourth in charge of information collection among the secret guards, and it was he who was sent by Wen Youqing to Suzhou Mansion to collect information.

"The people from the East Palace have gone." An Si said.

Jing Yun's face turned cold, Donggong?
