Chapter 259 The Tenth Task: The Unlucky Traveling Woman (57)

The sun was shining brightly. Only then did the Night King see the woman's face clearly. She was very cute, with a pair of round almond eyes. When she smiled, she looked like two crescent moons. Her lips were as red as blood, but Her skin is not so white, which makes her delicate facial features somewhat discounted.

The Night King narrowed his eyes slightly, this was a very strange woman, at least he had never seen it before.

"Your Highness the Night King was joking, how would I know where she is?" The woman laughed, "Besides, I don't even know who she is."

The Night King felt that he was being teased, and there was a flash of unhappiness in his eyes, but he still maintained his demeanor. "In that case, I will leave first, and the girl can do her own thing."

Saying that, he turned and left.

The woman looked at his back as he went away, bit her lower lip slightly, and said excitedly and excitedly after he walked away, "My lord, have I completed the task like this?"

Her voice was so low that the Night King didn't hear her, and even quickly forgot about her. He was now in a hurry to find Feng Buyu, but not long after, he received news that she was found by the creek again. dead.

Ye Wang's heart suddenly became tense, and he hurried to the stream in two or three steps, and saw a woman lying under the peach blossom tree, with a longing smile on her face, his heart was relieved at first, this was not Wenying, but Soon there was another squeeze.

Isn't this the woman who spoke to him before?
How did she die so quickly, and most importantly, why did she die with a smile?

"Night King!" The two guards stepped forward to salute immediately after seeing him, and the Night King waved his hands and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know about it. When I came here, the woman was already lying here. I checked the cause of death. She seems to have committed suicide by biting her tongue." The two guards lowered their heads.

"Check it out for this king! First find out which family this woman is from." Ye Wang took a deep breath, Qingjuan's brows were tightly frowned.

Including this woman, four people died at this year's Qionglin meeting.

This is something that has never happened in previous years.

"Yes." The two guards nodded, one walked outside, and the other stayed to look for clues along the way. But not long after, the guard who went to find the woman's identity ran over in a panic.

"It's not good, Your Highness the Night King, someone died on the stage."

"What?" Ye Wang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly walked towards the center of Peach Blossom Valley. There was chaos there at the moment, and there were endless screams and discussions. These sounds became more obvious the closer he got.

"God, it's horrible."

"Yeah, why did he die just as he was talking?"

"What's going on! Could it be that he has some disease?"

"Since you are sick, don't come out. Isn't this ruining our mood?"

"Okay, don't say a few words!"

The scene was very noisy. When the Night King arrived in a hurry, he saw countless people discussing something around the stage. Some women covered their noses with handkerchiefs, only their eyes were exposed, and they looked very scared. Some girls still had tears in their eyes. tears.

"Your Highness the Night King!"

After seeing him coming, some women immediately came up to him, "It scared us just now."

"Yes! That man died while talking!"

"terrible."

The Night King nodded slightly, indicating that he knew it. Two guards were leading the way. Some women wanted to pounce on them, but they were immediately blocked by their swords. The crowd automatically divided a path for the Night King to walk through.

When he got to the front of the stage, the Night King's gaze fell directly on the male corpse lying on the stage. The sun shone on his face. His face was gentle and silent, with a faint smile on his lips. Just like falling asleep.

Night King's heart sank suddenly, and he died laughing again.

What the hell is going on here?Why do these people smile before they die?One is enough, but now two, three, and four are all like this, which is really puzzling.

He walked onto the stage, and his eyes fell on Li Zongling, who had an extremely ugly face beside him, "What's going on?" He asked.

Although he already knew about it, but Li Zongling was the closest to this man, so he should know more information.

Li Zongling's fists were tightly clenched, and his fat face couldn't tell what expression he had. He seemed angry and dissatisfied. He said to Ye Wang, "If you go back to His Highness Ye Wang, this person is Sun Qingyang, the son of Sun Liu, the supervisor of the Imperial Academy. Participated in the election of the most beautiful man in the capital, so I signed up with Weichen, who knew that he didn't perform any show, just said nonsense for a while, and then suddenly fell down."

"Strange words?" Ye Wang frowned, remembering that the woman had said something to him before she died, so he narrowed his eyes, "What are you talking about?"

"He said that if he is standing here today, everyone can vote for him and make him the most beautiful man in the capital. From now on, everyone can go out and say that they are much better-looking than the most beautiful man in the capital." Li Zongling said with disdain He glanced at Sun Qingyang, "Then he told two more jokes, and when it came to the third joke, he fell down in the blink of an eye."

"What joke?"

Li Zongling took a look at Ye Wang and remembered the joke Sun Qingyang just said, "A middle-aged woman asked a fortune teller again." Sir.Five years ago, you made a fortune teller for me. The woman said, "At that time, you said that I would not only find a husband, but also have five children." "Why, am I not sure?" "It's so accurate, I really gave birth to five children." " "Excellent, what else do you want me to be?" "Sir, I want you to do the math for me. When will I have a husband?" "

The Night King frowned, what kind of joke is this?
Li Zongling said, "This is the first joke." Immediately afterwards, he started to talk about the second joke, "The little monk asked the old monk who was meditating: "Master, where is mercy?"

The old monk raised his right hand, pointed out the door, closed his eyes and said nothing.The little novice suddenly realized: it turns out that all living things in the world, whether they are high-ranking officials, peddlers, or flowers, birds, insects, fish, plants and trees, have compassion everywhere.Seeing the little novice standing still, the old monk said, "The white one on the table outside the door is the porcelain cup!"

Li Zongling repeated Sun Qingyang's words verbatim, "After he finished saying the word "Porcelain Cup", he started to tell the third joke, but he fell down after saying only one word of the third joke."

"A joke?" The Night King took a deep breath. He didn't think the two jokes were funny, but rather strange. As for what was so strange, he couldn't say for a while.

The things that he couldn't figure out were put aside for the time being, and the Night King looked at the guards who were examining the corpse, "How is it? How did he die?"

"Returning to His Highness, there are no injuries on his body, and he should have died of a sudden illness."

"Then why is there a smile on his face?" The Night King didn't believe the words 'died of a sudden disease'. If Sun Qingyang died of a sudden disease, what about the woman just now?Where's the chef at the hot spring house?There are also two brothers and sisters, Zhao Yin and Zhao Xiu...

Although their causes of death were completely different, their actions before death and their smiles after death were exactly the same. There was no pain, no fear, no terror on their faces.

Already the fifth person!

Although Zhao Xiu among them didn't see the corpse with his own eyes, he asked the person who escorted Zhao Xiu after he finished dealing with the matter of the hot spring courtyard, and learned that Zhao Xiu also had a smile on his face when he committed suicide.

What kind of power will bring smiles to the faces of all the dead?

Will Huayue meet?

No, they don't have the ability to make so many people die generously without fear.

Moreover, these people are all the children of officials, and their lives are not bad, so there is no need for them to die.

"Maybe it's because he's telling a joke..." the guard guessed.

tell a joke?
Ah!
Hearing this, Ye Wang's eyes flashed a hint of ridicule, and then he looked at Li Zongling, and said decisively, "Today's Qionglin Association is over, and I will immediately order the disbandment of Qionglin Association. If Your Majesty asks, I will say that it is my king's intention. "

Although he couldn't figure out what was going on for the moment, he also knew that Qiong Lin would not be able to continue.

If it continues, perhaps more people will die here...

Hearing these words, Li Zongling was stunned for a moment, then reacted in an instant, and said with a mournful face, "His Royal Highness, he just died, and he died of a sudden illness. It would be too much of a fuss to end the Qionglin meeting like this!"

What does His Majesty think of him?It was hard to host a Qionglin meeting, but it turned out like this, and it ended early!

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Night King. His eyes were deep, as if a storm was sweeping over him, but his voice was extremely low, "Making a fuss over a molehill? Li Zongling, I don't know what you are doing here today? Dark guard If you don't make arrangements in advance, you were not here before Zhao Yin's death, and you didn't know about the death of the royal chef in the hot spring other courtyard, you are so confused, how can you be the person who presides over the Qionglin Society?"

"Do you know that five people died at today's Qionglin meeting!"

Li Zongling's face became more and more ugly following the words of the Night King. When he heard the last sentence, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "What? Five people died?"

"Could this king still lie to you?" Ye Wang flicked his cuffs, glanced at him lightly, and then said to the guard next to him, "Send Sun Qingyang's body to Dali Temple, and let the autopsy take a look at his body. There may be poison in it, and also, go to Zhao’s house and carry the two corpses of Zhao Yin and Zhao Xiu..."

He wanted to know what was going on with the smiles on their faces!

Night King deliberately lowered his voice, and stood on the stage again, and after he came, the guards drove the crowd back a little, so his conversation with Li Zongling, except for a few guards, was empty. Got it.

He doesn't want to cause panic here.

"Yes!" The leading guard took the order, and immediately ordered his subordinates to lift Sun Qingyang's body and walk towards the exit of Peach Blossom Valley, while Li Zongling was still immersed in the "five dead men" and couldn't extricate himself until the night king cold After calling Li Zongling coldly, he suddenly came back to his senses.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

Unexpectedly, five people died!
