There is a commander in the family, deep well ice
Chapter 1 (11)
Discrediting will also drag the handsome mansion into trouble.But Beast Lan's behavior was completely opposite.He is very protective of the commander's mansion, and he doesn't shy away from dark days, so he begs the approval of the city residents.He also killed the leader under him, willing to destroy the prestige and face of the Eastern Beast Kingdom.I don't understand why he did that at all, I don't think he's a good guy, after all now that nothing is clear, he just kills his people.So, what is his purpose? "
"Show kindness. The king of the Eastern Beast Kingdom has been paralyzed on the bed for many years and is dying." Bai Yu said: "And if Beast Lan wants to become the king, Bermuda City is undoubtedly the best supporter."
"Just kidding, it's impossible to support them." Ling Gu reached out and pinched Bai Yu's ear, and gently tugged: "Don't make circles with me, what's going on?"
Bai Yu let him be unrestrained, and said: "I don't know, anyway, the Eastern Beast Kingdom has never had a good heart. The previous king was a reckless man, but now Beast Lan is a counselor."
Ling Gu let go of his hand, and rubbed his two fingertips together, always feeling that the action just now had a strong sense of sight.But he quickly ignored this feeling, and frowned, "Does that mean he's difficult?"
"In Bermuda City, he can't find any flowers." Bai Yu laughed.
"Is the cause of that Ma Jihao's death still to be investigated?" Ling Gu asked, "His death must have been abnormal, and the timing was too coincidental."
"Priest Mingyue kept Ma Jihao's flesh and blood, let's wait for her news." After Bai Yu finished speaking, Lu Zhu had already brought the tableware and drinks.
"Come and eat. If you still want to go to the secret realm, then go." Bai Yu said tolerantly.
Ling Gu shook his head: "I'm not in the mood right now. Has anyone found the treasure in the secret realm?"
"I haven't heard the news yet, but according to the news sent back by Wei Yun, the aura of the secret realm is weak, and it is connected to the mountain behind the Taiyuan, and it has been assimilated. It must have flooded into the central world 300 years ago. Things, now it's just a coincidence that appeared in this world."
After listening to Ling Gu, he was even less interested.After eating two drunk crabs, I obediently went to the back garden.
Ling Gu didn't practice, but leaned against the shell of Xiaowu—the name of the black turtle—in a daze.
He wanted to ask Bai Yu if those forces in the city really planned to leave him alone.But as soon as he saw Bai Yu's eyes, Ling Gu couldn't ask anything—he had seen Bai Yu's eyes looking at Bermuda City and the city residents. Those eyes looked down on the living beings like gods and Buddhas, but they had nothing to do with mercy. , only indifference.And when Bai Yu looked at those people in the Shuai Mansion, his eyes were like cotton that had been sun-dried, soft and warm.
Ling Gu felt that he probably knew why, Bai Yu had been trapped here for more than 300 years, and this place was a prison for him.
No one has feelings for a cage.
but.
"Those people worship the commander-in-chief too much, and they blindly believe in and worship Bai Yu." Ling Gu said to himself: "Bai Yu ignores them, but others don't ignore them. In the hands of others, it is a knife ah."
"Roar." Xiao Wu lazily chirped. Its voice was like a heavy copper bell, long and long. Listening to it scream a few times, one's heart can be calmed down.
"Forget it, adapt to the situation and improve your cultivation is the real thing." Ling Gu shook his head, stood up and patted the turtle shell to bid farewell to Xiaowu, and then turned to the grassland where he often went to meditate.
Ling Gu sat for another whole night, and when he came out of the back garden, it was already the next morning.
Bai Yu sat at the stone table in the garden, waved when he came out, and then put the egg in Ling Gu's hands: "Go take a bath and have breakfast, and then take the child out for a walk."
Ling Gu lowered his head, looked at the egg in his hand, and then at Bai Yu: "Walking?"
Bai Yu nodded: "The 49th day has passed, his own soul has been condensed, and now he can perceive the outside world. Sunbathing, walking, feeding spiritual power, cleaning. The more meticulous and thorough you are with him, the more lively and healthy his soul will be. .”
Ling Gu was surprised, and then responded happily: "That's okay, I will take him around more often, a lively child can stand the toss."
Bai Yu: "..."
"How many days can you finish your work?" Ling Gu asked.
Bai Yu immediately smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked: "Miss me?"
What does this thought mean? Looking at Linggu's reddish ears, I understand.Although he was too busy practicing and didn't focus on that matter, it's been more than a month anyway, and his enthusiasm for cultivation has faded a lot. The sweet temptation of "first love" has been played enough, and then the physiological needs of an adult and healthy man are revealed, and the lust is on the top, attracting the spring breeze to stay everywhere.
"Heh." Ling Gu raised his head, his ears glowing red.He lifted one corner of his mouth, licked the canine teeth with the tip of his tongue, stared at Bai Yu with a smirk and said, "Whoever thinks, whoever is not sure."
Bai Yu stretched out his hand to hook Ling Gu's waist, his silver eyes darkened a bit, "Actually, I'm not that busy."
Ling Gu stretched out a finger, poked Bai Yu's shoulder and pushed him away, grinning, arrogant no matter how you looked at it: "But I'm busy."
After finishing speaking, Ling Gu hummed a song and left, Guan Li didn't care about sleeping, just so willful.
Ling Gu's standard bodyguard today is still Boyan, because Bai Yu said that the egg should bask in the sun, so Ling Gu put the egg in a translucent cloth bag and hung it on his chest.It looked very stupid, but Ling Gu didn't feel it at all, he held his head high, very proud.
Walking with Boyan is actually very boring. He doesn't speak, has no expression, and Ling Gu has forgotten the existence of Boyan who is one step behind him.
There are too many people on Shuanglong Street, and the surrounding streets are also unusually deserted.Ling Gu swayed around for a while, and saw a few people wearing white robes not far away. Those people were talking to Qin Qian in casual clothes, and then Qin Qian put a stack of paper-like things in his hand Hand it over to the elite soldiers next to him, and leave with those men in white robes.
Ling Gu didn't even think about it at the time, and sneaked up on tiptoe wretchedly - he saw that those men in white robes were all sisters, and they looked pretty good!
☆、【tree species】
Qin Qian and the others walked very fast, and there were many people on the street. Ling Gu felt that he would not be exposed, so he followed casually.As a result, Qin Qian suddenly turned around after not following for a minute.Ling Gu hurriedly hid in the alley next to him, hiding himself tightly.
"Why are you here?" Ling Gu heard Qin Qian ask in a raised voice.
Ling Gu was surprised, but when he looked up, he saw Boyan standing upright at the entrance of the alley, turning his head to look at him.
Ling Gu: "..."
——Forgot that there was a silent tail following behind him.
After a while, Qin Qian had already walked over and looked at Ling Gu.Seeing Ling Gu's appearance, Qin Qian burst into laughter: "Who made you this bag?"
Ling Gu touched his nose and walked out, feeling that he was really stupid just now, but he himself would not admit it, so he changed the subject and asked, "Who are those girls?"
"The god attendant of the temple." Qin Qian was still curious: "Are you following us just now?"
Ling Gu shook his head in surprise: "Why do you think so?"
"..." Qin Qian was stunned by Ling Gu's ability to open his eyes and tell lies.
Ling Gu regained his serious expression, and asked, "Why is the temple looking for you?"
Qin Qian: "I probably know the cause of Ma Jihao's death. Priest Mingyue wants me to help you."
Ling Gu immediately took a step forward: "This is such a big deal, what are you waiting for, let's go."
Qin Qian: "..."
——This personality, which is not too big for watching the excitement, really hasn't changed in 1 years.
>>>>
This is Ling Gu's first visit to the temple.The building of the temple has a sense of the world. The whole body is made of white bricks and stones, but the roof is covered with flying eaves and tiles, and there are still soul bells hanging from the corners of the eaves.
There are dozens of steps in front of the temple, and after going up, there is a spacious hall with many futons and low tables, probably where the priests "worship".But there are no gods enshrined in it——Ling Gu originally thought that there might be a statue of Bai Yu or something. (…)
Around the main hall outside, through a small corridor, before and after a gate, the god attendant who led the way stopped, blessed them slightly, and then left.
Qin Qian took the lead to push the door open, and there was another step in the door. The floor of this room was raised by at least [-] centimeters, and it was all wooden floors.
Ling Gu followed and walked in, and then his eyes became straight - in the center of the hall, a big tree stood proudly, its branches and leaves spread out like a canopy, and birds built their nests, full of vitality.On the top of the big tree is a transparent glazed dome, and the sunlight falls in columns, plating a layer of sacred light gold on the lush green of the big tree.
Ling Gu was stunned. This room and the hall outside are completely two worlds.
"Sit down." Priest Mingyue's gentle voice recalled Ling Gu's thoughts.
Only then did Ling Gu see that there was a low table and a few futons at the foot of the big tree, and Priest Mingyue was sitting there cross-legged.The three of Ling Gu also walked over, found a futon and sat down.
Ling Gu couldn't help but looked sideways, the floor left a two-foot-wide space around the big tree, and under the raised floor were gnarled tree roots.However, there is obviously an enchantment restriction here, and the tree roots cannot extend beyond the scope of this room, so they have to pierce deep, or layer upon layer thickly coiled, forming a mysterious small world of tree roots under the floor.
"This is a sacred tree." Priest Mingyue saw Ling Gu's curiosity, and took the initiative to explain to him: "It was originally an ordinary spiritual plant, but something happened later. Magical power, so it is kept here by the temple."
"Tree species?" Ling Gu looked up carefully, and sure enough, he saw some fruits between the branches and leaves of the big tree, only the size of eggs, and the number was very small. The dark green peel was not easy to find.
"This is a remnant of the supernatural potion." Boyan suddenly spoke at this time.
Ling Gu remembered Boyan's life experience, so he didn't have the nerve to ask Boyan.Boyan didn't intend to continue talking, but fortunately Priest Mingyue was understanding.
"After those supernatural potions were looted, less than a hundred were kept by the temple. This is always a hidden danger, and I was a little interested in this thing, so I used it for research. What I didn't expect was that there were For spiritual power, by accident, that potion was absorbed by this spiritual plant, and it began to grow wildly and devoured other potions. Then it produced tree seeds, which also had the power of potions, but very Unstable. In order to prevent some people with ulterior motives, the existence of this sacred tree was not told to the city residents. As for the people in the temple, except for the five priests, no one knew its origin."
Ling Gu was surprised: "It means that this tree is actually conscious?"
"Talk is better than nothing." Priest Mingyue said flatly, "Let's get back to business. Ma Jihao was poisoned and drowned."
Hearing this, Ling Gu said in his heart: Sure enough.
Qin Qian was not surprised, and asked, "What does the priest mean when he says he wants our help?"
Priest Mingyue said: "The poison was poisoned in the Taiyuan, and General Qin also knew the special nature of the Taiyuan. Now it is the Ma family who died again. Although Ma Wanlong made trouble in the post station and has an explanation, he will definitely not let it go."
Qin Qian smiled: "Priest Mingyue wants us to intervene to suppress the Ma family?"
"The Taiyuan is of great significance to Bermuda City. It must not fall into the hands of those forces in the city. Once it falls, Bermuda City will not be far from the flames of war." Priest Mingyue said and glanced at Qin Qian again : "It's not so much that I want you to intervene, it's better to say that those companies can't sit still."
"Priest Mingyue means that Ma Jihao's death may have been caused by one of the four families, including the Ma family?" Qin Qian's smile faded away, and only the corners of his mouth curled up——Ling Gu thought that Boyan and Qin Qiandu was a little bit paralyzed, one was expressionless, and the other was a smiling Buddha.
Ling Gu was distracted for a while, but still kept up with their thoughts, and was shocked: "No way, the Ma family only has two sons, can they afford such a big investment?"
"It's because of two sons." Qin Qian's mouth turned up a little more: "Ma Wanlong can't do anything, but those in his family are not soft-hearted. Otherwise, do you think that in the past few decades, Ma Wanlong's seven wives and concubines, Just two children? And if it is true, the wives and concubines who attacked Ma Jihao must be dependent, so which power do they rely on?"
"In the current situation, if the Commander's Mansion does not intervene, it is tantamount to surrendering the Imperial Court to those forces, and I am afraid that they will retaliate sooner or later; if they intervene, it will follow their minds. As for Ma Wanlong..."
Ling Gu interjected: "Ma Wanlong must have seen the situation clearly. Otherwise, he dared to pour dirty water on the commander-in-chief's mansion so blatantly yesterday? I'll go, my son just died. When the father saw that the situation was not right, he immediately turned his weakness into an offensive. Use the death of his son to make a fuss first, he can justifiably come in and out of the Taiyuan than the other three forces."
Ling Gu gritted his teeth: "It's too ruthless. The commander-in-chief must intervene? I don't think Ma Wanlong is a fuel-efficient lamp, but he can use public opinion to create momentum."
Priest Mingyue smiled: "So, as a temple, I ask General Qin to help find out the truth."
Qin Qian also smiled and cupped his hands: "It's a duty."
Ling Gu blinked, and then was stunned——Mingyue Priest's four-two-handed move is brilliant.The citizens of Bermuda City adore the Marshal's Mansion, but rely on the Temple.Not to mention the fact that the shrine came out, the commander of the commander-in-chief was famous, and he could occupy the peak of public opinion first.
Coming out of the temple, Ling Gu was still clutching the egg pocket on his chest, with a look of emotion on his face: "Priest Mingyue, it turns out that it is so unfathomable."
Qin Qian laughed a few times, but didn't answer, he said to Ling Gu: "Then I'll go to Taiyuan first, you..."
"I'll go too, I'll go too." Ling Gu pulled out of his emotions in an instant, followed a step, and stared at Qin Qian with a faint glow in his left eye.
Qin Qian remained silent, looked up at Boyan behind Ling Gu—dragged back.
Boyan understood Qin Qian's meaning, and replied blankly: "The commander only told me not to leave Madam's side, and to protect Madam well."
The implication is that wherever Madam goes, he will roll up his sleeves if Madam wants to fight, but he must not interfere with Madam's freedom of movement.
Ling Gu raised his eyebrows proudly.
Seeing his humble appearance, Qin Qian pursed his lips and exhaled heavily through his nose, and sighed, "Then let's go, call a carriage."
He wasn't worried about Ling Gu causing any moths - he was used to it 1 years ago.However, there are really more than those seventeen or eighteen-year-old kids who look like bean sprouts in the Taiyuan. In the training ground camp on the second hill, there are all young, strong, and heroic city defense forces. ah.

☆、【four samples】
Came to Taiyuan again, but overnight, the gate of Taiyuan had been erected again.There are also a few more armed door guards.Those guards were dressed in different clothes, but none of them were wearing the military uniform of Taiyuan.Priest Mingshui stood at the door, and when he saw them coming, he trotted two steps to meet them.
"Master Ling, General Qin, General Bo, please come with me." Priest Mingshui smiled and cupped his hands, his bald forehead reflected a little in the sun.That temperament, just like a dogleg image.
Ling Gu really didn't see how Priest Mingshui got to be one of the five priests.
"The door is the guards of the Ma family and the Wan family." After a few people entered the door, Priest Mingshui reported in a low voice: "They sent people here early in the morning, but they didn't go in. The Ma family said they wanted to guard Ma Jifei's safety, Wan Jia was called by the Ma family to help. Ouch, thanks to the help of Priest Mingyue to inform you, otherwise, what would I do."
Priest Mingshui rubbed his hands pitifully, shrinking his neck like a quail.
"The people of the Ma family released Ma Jifei back to the Taiyuan, which means that they will come here sooner or later. Is there anyone who specially guards Ma Jifei?" Qin Qian asked.
"That's not true." Priest Mingshui said in embarrassment: "I wanted them to take him back, but Governor Ma said that it was against the rules of the Taiyuan, so he sent Ma Jifei back to the Taiyuan, and then sent someone to guard the gate. .”
"The Ma family is probably passive in this matter, so even if they want to participate, they will probably wait for Ma Jihao's 'Spirit of Three Days' to come. If the Ma family does not make trouble, the other families will not be able to fish in troubled waters for the time being." Qin Qian walked and analyzed to himself.
Ling Gu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Don't the other families have children in the Taiyuan? What if they let their children make trouble?"
Qin Qian said with a smile: "There is really no such thing. The Gong family has only one son, who has graduated from the Taiyuan and returned home to learn to manage the family business; the Wan family has many sons and daughters, but the older one is too big and the younger one is too big." Little ones, none of them are in the Taiyuan; the children of Youjia never enter the Taiyuan."
Ling Gu raised his eyebrows: "From this point of view, Ma Jihao's death seems really unusual."
Qin Qian did not express his opinion, but said to Priest Mingshui: "Take us to the Academy History Museum. Priest Mingyue said that we are here to investigate the matter of Ma Jihao, so let's start with Ma Jihao's academic records."
"Okay." Priest Mingshui's expression relaxed a lot. With Qin Qian as a think tank, he felt at ease.
"Let's take the road by the lake." Qin Qian added hastily.The History Museum of the Academy is on the hilltop of the Taiyuan. There are two main roads passing by, one passes through the practice field, and the other goes around half of Mingjing Lake and climbs the mountain, which is relatively far away.
Priest Mingshui was puzzled for a moment, but he didn't ask any further questions. He nodded obediently and led the way.
Ling Gu didn't doubt it, but asked curiously: "Of the four families you said before, except for the Ma family, which is in charge of salt, what about the others?"
"The Gong family is the largest rice merchant, and they also run many pawnshops and banks, so they are the richest; the Wan family is mining, and most of the iron, stone and metal in the city are in their hands; the You family started as a warrior, and they have a military camp. The commander's mansion only has [-] elite soldiers, while Bermuda City has a population of one million, and all the troops are in Youjia. Well, except for some city defense troops in the temple."
Ling Gu stared: "Then isn't this Youjia more powerful than the Shuaifu?"
Qin Qian chuckled: "Money, salt, iron, and soldiers, each of these four things is better than the commander's mansion. But it's another story when it comes to combat effectiveness."
Speechless—is it worth it?Money and power have been crushed by others, okay?
Ling Gu digested the new news with a bit of heartache, and didn't chat much along the way, looking at the scenery of the Taiyuan—Mingjing Lake is a resting place, the scenery is good, and the vision is wide.There are also quite a few students coming and going here. Although all of them are wearing long military uniforms that tuck in their waists, they are not small, and all of them have panicked faces. Obviously, the shadow of Ma Ji's unintentional death has overwhelmed the surprise of being discovered in the secret realm. .
Ling Gu hated the Ma family even more in his heart.
After walking for a long time and climbing the mountain, I finally opened the Academy History Museum.The Academy History Museum is a seven-story tower with octagonal eaves, and a string of metal bells is hung on each eaves corner, which can make a sound when the wind blows.But the voice was very soft, and the pitch was different. Once the wind passed, it was like playing a melodious and light tune, and it drifted away with the wind. Instead of being noisy, it felt very pleasant.
Several people stopped in front of the tower, and Priest Mingshui started tinkering with a weird mechanical gear in front of the door.
"The Academy History Museum not only has the archives of the previous students of the Taiyuan, but also has many secrets of the Taiyuan. The access here is very strict, and each floor has a new door lock. It requires the dean or the elder of the Taiyuan. Only by leading the way can we enter." Qin Qian explained to Ling Gu from the side.
Ling Gu nodded understandingly.
Entering the tower, Ling Gu was very surprised by the cleanliness inside.This place is very similar to a library. Books range from thread-bound books to cloth and even bamboo slips, and they are placed on different bookshelves in a very orderly manner.
And the most amazing thing is that the tower is very bright. From the outside, there are only a few small windows on the first floor, but from the inside to the outside, it is almost completely transparent—of course, those few small windows are the ones that need to be opened. .
"The students' files are on the first floor, the second floor is the records of the gentlemen of the Taiyuan, and the third floor..." Priest Mingshui introduced each floor, and then said: "I opened all the floors, I still have something to do." I'll excuse you first."
Priest Mingshui left in a hurry after finishing speaking.
"Ma Jihao is a sixth-grade student, so there are quite a lot of files here." Qin Qian pulled out a thin roll of cloth from the bookshelf, and pulled it away, but it seemed endless, and he piled up a small bag after a while on the table.
Ling Gu thought to himself: The cloth must have been refined using a formation technique.
"What are you looking for?" Ling Gu leaned over to look, and there were dense small scripts all over it. Qin Qian just swept it over without looking carefully.
"This." Qin Qian's hand stopped suddenly, and then pointed to a place marked with vermilion ink: "There are special places, which will be marked with cinnabar. For example, demerits and the like."
"That's really good. Huh? Repeated grade?" Ling Gu frowned and said, "But the previous party also said that Ma Jihao's martial arts performance was excellent. Why did he repeat the grade and stay for three years?"
"This happened when he was in the third grade." Qin Qian thought for a while and said, "Ma Jifei is two years younger than Ma Jihao. If Ma Jifei entered the Taiyuan at this time, he should be in the first grade. The Taiyuan is divided into two years. Eight grades, all will be recorded in the file, and will be used as an inspection when they graduate. If the file is poor, it will be difficult to get a good job when they go out to the imperial court. Since Ma Jimo is not an idiot in this case, there is only one The reason."
"Repeat the grade for his brother?" Ling Gu said strangely: "That's too strange. If you really want to study together, you can just enter the school together. And at this time, Ma Jifei is almost finishing the first grade, so even if you repeat the grade, you will only stay for two years." enough."
"Bo Yan, help me find Ma Jifei's file." Qin Qian said loudly.Then he looked at the cloth in his hand, and after confirming that there was nothing else missing, he rolled it back slowly.
"Do you suspect that people from the Taiyuan did it?" Ling Gu asked: "People from the other three families in the Taiyuan did it?"
"Well. The God Attendant said that the onset time of the poison was five hours. Before Ma Jihao was killed, the Taiyuan was closed and no one could enter." Qin Qian replied.
The corner of Ling Gu's mouth twitched: "With the magic circle at the gate of the Taiyuan, are you sure no one can get in?"
Qin Qian smiled: "The weakest part of the Taiyuan is the gate. Otherwise, do you think that the four families have never made an idea of the Taiyuan for so many years? I just didn't expect that this time they would directly attack the Ma family."
"Don't want to let go of the sheep but not the wolf? Use your own son?" Ling Gu had a toothache, and stretched out his hand to cover the cloth pocket hanging on his chest. Even he himself didn't know why, anyway, he gently rubbed the egg through the cloth with his fingers .
"It's because it's very strange that Priest Mingyue asked me to help." What Qin Qian didn't finish was - the "sacrifices" of the four families are so "precious", so the things they want must be very "precious".
At this time, Boyan brought Ma Jifei's file over.Ma Jifei is also in the sixth grade now, and his files can be piled up on a table.But this time, Qin Qian had a goal and pulled directly to the front, and immediately found a familiar vermilion.
Ling Gu leaned over to take a look, and asked strangely, "What does this five-pointed star mean?"
Qin Qian smiled: "It means that we are going to the top floor of the tower."
☆、【Murder Case】
On the top floor of the Academy History Museum are all the secrets of the Imperial Academy.Qin Qian quickly found out the files about Ma Jifei.
The record above is surprisingly concise. Ma Jihao was in the same grade as An Liang, who fell into the water with Ma Jifei and was rescued by Ma Jihao, but An Liang was not rescued in time and died.Ma Jifei was frightened and was repeated for one year.
Boyan went downstairs to find An Liang's file, the record was equally concise, and the scroll could only be stretched the width of a palm.It is only said that Anliang's family is poor, but his spiritual strength is good, so he broke the rules and entered the Taiyuan.In the third grade, he accidentally drowned and died.The record ends here.
"That's it?" Ling Gu was a little discouraged: "There is no clue at all."
Qin Qian packed up his things and smiled: "Let's go out, the students in the first grade with Ma Jihao have all graduated, so we can only ask the students in the sixth grade."
After hearing this, Ling Gu suddenly realized: "Yes, there are always two versions of official records and folk records. Is there any secret that is unknown?"
Qin Qian: "..."
"Let's go, sixth grade...is there a fixed classroom or courtyard?" Ling Gu just wanted to leave, but turned back.
"The schools here are all shared by the Taiyuan, but the students of the Taiyuan live in accommodation, so just go to their dormitory. The dormitory of the sixth grade is not far from here."
The sleeping area is not much different from the real world, but the building and interior decoration are different.The dormitory area has a public canteen, a practice field for rest and study, and a large study.The environment is very nice.
As soon as Qin Qian and Boyan appeared, they were recognized by many students—many of the students in Taiyuan came here for the purpose of joining the city defense army of the commander's mansion, so Bai Yu and the three generals were their idols.
"It's very popular." Ling Gu smiled. There are more men than women in the Taiyuan, and the sleeping areas are separated, but they go to school together on weekdays, so there are not so many moral and etiquette constraints.At this moment, a group of youthful teenagers and girls looked over with their eyes shining, Ling Gu let out a long sigh, and said in a rippling tone: "The smell of spring~"
Qin Qian glanced at him and sighed: "You really... haven't changed at all."
Ling Gu raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"Treat people like children." Qin Qian said, then ignored Ling Gu, and asked the students about the Ma brothers.
Ling Gu stood there in a daze for a while, and then wondered—the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't treat Qin Qian as a child, which child would collapse into a sinister smile?
In front of their idols, fans always know everything, and Qin Qian and Boyan quickly got the information they wanted.
"Bullies? Why am I not surprised at all." Ling Gu said: "For such a bully, my younger brother and his classmates drowned at the same time, so I want to know who to save first. Or, did he really have a move to save that Anliang?"
Qin Qian also thought about this, sighed and said: "Many students don't know what happened back then. They are all afraid of the Ma family brothers, and wish they could go around. But because of the strict rules of the Taiyuan, although the Ma family brothers did evil, But it’s not too extreme, so there’s no one who particularly hates them because of their bullying.”
"Then do they have any friends? There are always more news from friends of friends." Ling Gu said.
Qin Qian shook his head: "The two brothers played by themselves. The only student who was better than Ma Jihao before has graduated, and that student surprised me. His name is Gong Shenglang."
"The Gong family who sells rice?" Ling Gu was surprised: "Then shall we go out and ask him now?"
"Again……"
"what!"
A sudden scream interrupted their conversation, and then Ling Gu heard a student screaming - "Someone jumped into the lake!"
Qin Qian quickly disappeared in place, and Ling Gu and Boyan also ran towards the lake. When they arrived at the lake, they saw a drenched student half-sitting at Qin Qian's feet, talking to himself nervously .
"Ma Jifei?" Ling Gu's eyes widened, and he was stunned: "Didn't he know how to swim? Suicide?"
"Hysteria." Qin Qian said, motioning Ling Gu with his hand to listen carefully to what Ma Jifei said.
Ma Jifei's voice was intermittent, his speech was fast, and his logic was chaotic, unable to form words.But the key words are still clear, he said: "I didn't do it, I'm sorry, I didn't bully An He, I'm sorry, An Liang, don't come to me!"
This is the same thing over and over again, but enough information has been revealed-Anliang's death must not be simple.Accidental under the skin, maybe it is a murder case.
"Hand." Boyan said suddenly at this moment, staring at Ma Jifei's hand.
Qin Qian squatted down and pulled Ma Jifei's wrist, and opened his sleeve. After seeing the marks on his wrist, Qin Qian immediately frowned—there was a circle of bruises on Ma Jifei's wrist, and the shape of those bruises was It is normal to connect one section after another, indicating that the degree of force is different.In other words, it wasn't ropes or aquatic plants that bound his wrists.
Qin Qian lifted Ma Jifei's other sleeve again, this time it was more intuitive - half a palm print.The palm is about the size of a normal person, but the bruise on the top has reached Ma Jifei's upper arm.
In other words, this is a hand, and the fingers of this hand are twice as long as ordinary people.
Could it be a wild beast?Ling Gu was surprised from the bottom of his heart, but luckily his head was still clear, so he didn't express his doubts - if the rumors of wild beasts lurking in the courtyard spread, what kind of chaos would happen, instead, the four families agreed.
Qin Qian took a look and immediately put down Ma Jifei's sleeves, then he reached out and tapped Ma Jifei's forehead, and Ma Jifei closed his eyes and fainted on the ground.
Qin Qian said to Boyan: "Bo Yan, you send him back to Ma's house, by the way, ask Ma's back then..."
"I can't leave Madam's side." Boyan said in the same way, not giving Qin Qian any face.
Qin Qian: "..."
Hearing this, Ling Gu smiled and waved to Qin Qian: "Go and see it off. Didn't Ma Jifei talk about Anhe just now? Hearing the names, Anhe and Anliang are probably brothers, and maybe they are also students here. We Ask about Anhe in Taiyuan."
Qin Qian had no choice but to compromise, and said, "There is no rush today, you go and let Priest Mingshui seal Mingjing Lake first, and then go back to the commander-in-chief's mansion. Lunch is almost here."
Boyan following Ling Gu only made it easier for Ling Gu to get into trouble, Qin Qian really didn't want them to stay here longer.But at the Ma's side, it's not something that can be solved by handing over to a soldier. Some things are actually not a question of whether to say it or not, but a question of who to tell it to.
"I see, I won't see you off." Ling Gu waved Qin Qian goodbye, thinking: I'm already bigu, and I won't die if I eat less.
Seeing Ling Gu's expression, Qin Qian suddenly felt very tired. When he went out of the Taiyuan, he flew a mechanical bird to the Commander's Mansion - Tutor, which means to let the head of the family discipline.
As soon as Qin Qian left, Ling Gu grabbed a student next to him and said, "Go and tell Mingshuiji... the dean, just say what General Qin said to let him seal off Mingjing Lake first. Remember it."
The student nodded ignorantly—although he didn't know who this person was, the two generals seemed to know him very well, so nodding was fine.
After giving the order, Ling Gu asked again with bright eyes: "Where are all your senior students here?"
In the eighth grade system of Taiyuan, Ling Zhaowen is 20 years old and is about to graduate.In addition, the Taiyuan is no different from the current schools, and the students are basically older. The students in the upper grades are basically no less than twenty, and they have already become young people.
Tall and handsome young men, wearing military uniforms with swords on their waists.
If you don't take a look, his two visits to the Taiyuan will be considered in vain, okay?
The students didn't know what Ling Gu was thinking, so they obediently pointed in the direction and said, "Just behind the mountain over there is the practice field for the seniors. They are already participating in city defense missions."
"Thanks, you have a future, I am optimistic about you." Ling Gu patted the student on the shoulder, turned and left.
Boyan followed two steps, feeling a bit puzzled: "Ma'am, you don't want to ask about An He?"
"Yes, isn't this going to find seniors? You think, seniors have stayed in the Taiyuan for the longest time, and they know the most." Ling Gu patted Boyan's arm: "Besides, over there Nice scenery~"
Boyan: "Oh."
Boyan always felt that there were other deep meanings in Ling Gu's words, anyway, he just had to remember: don't leave Madam's side.
The author has something to say: the sixth day without comments QAQ
[Talking]: Fei Yang's personality is already being written.
☆、【Suspect】
The mountain in the senior training ground is the same as the mountain in the Academy History Museum.And there is a way to go.When he arrived at the training ground, Ling Gu realized that it would be easier to go to the Academy History Museum from here.
Ling Gu raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood Qin Qian's careful thoughts.
Cut, why are you staring at me so closely? Am I the kind of person who goes on and on?
The practice field is very large, like a playground, but there are many obstacles for training.After all, spiritual training is different from the real army. At least in terms of observability, the spiritual training picture is better than rolling in the mud.
With Boyan around, they went in unimpeded, and soon there were coaches on the practice ground.
"Show kindness. The king of the Eastern Beast Kingdom has been paralyzed on the bed for many years and is dying." Bai Yu said: "And if Beast Lan wants to become the king, Bermuda City is undoubtedly the best supporter."
"Just kidding, it's impossible to support them." Ling Gu reached out and pinched Bai Yu's ear, and gently tugged: "Don't make circles with me, what's going on?"
Bai Yu let him be unrestrained, and said: "I don't know, anyway, the Eastern Beast Kingdom has never had a good heart. The previous king was a reckless man, but now Beast Lan is a counselor."
Ling Gu let go of his hand, and rubbed his two fingertips together, always feeling that the action just now had a strong sense of sight.But he quickly ignored this feeling, and frowned, "Does that mean he's difficult?"
"In Bermuda City, he can't find any flowers." Bai Yu laughed.
"Is the cause of that Ma Jihao's death still to be investigated?" Ling Gu asked, "His death must have been abnormal, and the timing was too coincidental."
"Priest Mingyue kept Ma Jihao's flesh and blood, let's wait for her news." After Bai Yu finished speaking, Lu Zhu had already brought the tableware and drinks.
"Come and eat. If you still want to go to the secret realm, then go." Bai Yu said tolerantly.
Ling Gu shook his head: "I'm not in the mood right now. Has anyone found the treasure in the secret realm?"
"I haven't heard the news yet, but according to the news sent back by Wei Yun, the aura of the secret realm is weak, and it is connected to the mountain behind the Taiyuan, and it has been assimilated. It must have flooded into the central world 300 years ago. Things, now it's just a coincidence that appeared in this world."
After listening to Ling Gu, he was even less interested.After eating two drunk crabs, I obediently went to the back garden.
Ling Gu didn't practice, but leaned against the shell of Xiaowu—the name of the black turtle—in a daze.
He wanted to ask Bai Yu if those forces in the city really planned to leave him alone.But as soon as he saw Bai Yu's eyes, Ling Gu couldn't ask anything—he had seen Bai Yu's eyes looking at Bermuda City and the city residents. Those eyes looked down on the living beings like gods and Buddhas, but they had nothing to do with mercy. , only indifference.And when Bai Yu looked at those people in the Shuai Mansion, his eyes were like cotton that had been sun-dried, soft and warm.
Ling Gu felt that he probably knew why, Bai Yu had been trapped here for more than 300 years, and this place was a prison for him.
No one has feelings for a cage.
but.
"Those people worship the commander-in-chief too much, and they blindly believe in and worship Bai Yu." Ling Gu said to himself: "Bai Yu ignores them, but others don't ignore them. In the hands of others, it is a knife ah."
"Roar." Xiao Wu lazily chirped. Its voice was like a heavy copper bell, long and long. Listening to it scream a few times, one's heart can be calmed down.
"Forget it, adapt to the situation and improve your cultivation is the real thing." Ling Gu shook his head, stood up and patted the turtle shell to bid farewell to Xiaowu, and then turned to the grassland where he often went to meditate.
Ling Gu sat for another whole night, and when he came out of the back garden, it was already the next morning.
Bai Yu sat at the stone table in the garden, waved when he came out, and then put the egg in Ling Gu's hands: "Go take a bath and have breakfast, and then take the child out for a walk."
Ling Gu lowered his head, looked at the egg in his hand, and then at Bai Yu: "Walking?"
Bai Yu nodded: "The 49th day has passed, his own soul has been condensed, and now he can perceive the outside world. Sunbathing, walking, feeding spiritual power, cleaning. The more meticulous and thorough you are with him, the more lively and healthy his soul will be. .”
Ling Gu was surprised, and then responded happily: "That's okay, I will take him around more often, a lively child can stand the toss."
Bai Yu: "..."
"How many days can you finish your work?" Ling Gu asked.
Bai Yu immediately smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked: "Miss me?"
What does this thought mean? Looking at Linggu's reddish ears, I understand.Although he was too busy practicing and didn't focus on that matter, it's been more than a month anyway, and his enthusiasm for cultivation has faded a lot. The sweet temptation of "first love" has been played enough, and then the physiological needs of an adult and healthy man are revealed, and the lust is on the top, attracting the spring breeze to stay everywhere.
"Heh." Ling Gu raised his head, his ears glowing red.He lifted one corner of his mouth, licked the canine teeth with the tip of his tongue, stared at Bai Yu with a smirk and said, "Whoever thinks, whoever is not sure."
Bai Yu stretched out his hand to hook Ling Gu's waist, his silver eyes darkened a bit, "Actually, I'm not that busy."
Ling Gu stretched out a finger, poked Bai Yu's shoulder and pushed him away, grinning, arrogant no matter how you looked at it: "But I'm busy."
After finishing speaking, Ling Gu hummed a song and left, Guan Li didn't care about sleeping, just so willful.
Ling Gu's standard bodyguard today is still Boyan, because Bai Yu said that the egg should bask in the sun, so Ling Gu put the egg in a translucent cloth bag and hung it on his chest.It looked very stupid, but Ling Gu didn't feel it at all, he held his head high, very proud.
Walking with Boyan is actually very boring. He doesn't speak, has no expression, and Ling Gu has forgotten the existence of Boyan who is one step behind him.
There are too many people on Shuanglong Street, and the surrounding streets are also unusually deserted.Ling Gu swayed around for a while, and saw a few people wearing white robes not far away. Those people were talking to Qin Qian in casual clothes, and then Qin Qian put a stack of paper-like things in his hand Hand it over to the elite soldiers next to him, and leave with those men in white robes.
Ling Gu didn't even think about it at the time, and sneaked up on tiptoe wretchedly - he saw that those men in white robes were all sisters, and they looked pretty good!
☆、【tree species】
Qin Qian and the others walked very fast, and there were many people on the street. Ling Gu felt that he would not be exposed, so he followed casually.As a result, Qin Qian suddenly turned around after not following for a minute.Ling Gu hurriedly hid in the alley next to him, hiding himself tightly.
"Why are you here?" Ling Gu heard Qin Qian ask in a raised voice.
Ling Gu was surprised, but when he looked up, he saw Boyan standing upright at the entrance of the alley, turning his head to look at him.
Ling Gu: "..."
——Forgot that there was a silent tail following behind him.
After a while, Qin Qian had already walked over and looked at Ling Gu.Seeing Ling Gu's appearance, Qin Qian burst into laughter: "Who made you this bag?"
Ling Gu touched his nose and walked out, feeling that he was really stupid just now, but he himself would not admit it, so he changed the subject and asked, "Who are those girls?"
"The god attendant of the temple." Qin Qian was still curious: "Are you following us just now?"
Ling Gu shook his head in surprise: "Why do you think so?"
"..." Qin Qian was stunned by Ling Gu's ability to open his eyes and tell lies.
Ling Gu regained his serious expression, and asked, "Why is the temple looking for you?"
Qin Qian: "I probably know the cause of Ma Jihao's death. Priest Mingyue wants me to help you."
Ling Gu immediately took a step forward: "This is such a big deal, what are you waiting for, let's go."
Qin Qian: "..."
——This personality, which is not too big for watching the excitement, really hasn't changed in 1 years.
>>>>
This is Ling Gu's first visit to the temple.The building of the temple has a sense of the world. The whole body is made of white bricks and stones, but the roof is covered with flying eaves and tiles, and there are still soul bells hanging from the corners of the eaves.
There are dozens of steps in front of the temple, and after going up, there is a spacious hall with many futons and low tables, probably where the priests "worship".But there are no gods enshrined in it——Ling Gu originally thought that there might be a statue of Bai Yu or something. (…)
Around the main hall outside, through a small corridor, before and after a gate, the god attendant who led the way stopped, blessed them slightly, and then left.
Qin Qian took the lead to push the door open, and there was another step in the door. The floor of this room was raised by at least [-] centimeters, and it was all wooden floors.
Ling Gu followed and walked in, and then his eyes became straight - in the center of the hall, a big tree stood proudly, its branches and leaves spread out like a canopy, and birds built their nests, full of vitality.On the top of the big tree is a transparent glazed dome, and the sunlight falls in columns, plating a layer of sacred light gold on the lush green of the big tree.
Ling Gu was stunned. This room and the hall outside are completely two worlds.
"Sit down." Priest Mingyue's gentle voice recalled Ling Gu's thoughts.
Only then did Ling Gu see that there was a low table and a few futons at the foot of the big tree, and Priest Mingyue was sitting there cross-legged.The three of Ling Gu also walked over, found a futon and sat down.
Ling Gu couldn't help but looked sideways, the floor left a two-foot-wide space around the big tree, and under the raised floor were gnarled tree roots.However, there is obviously an enchantment restriction here, and the tree roots cannot extend beyond the scope of this room, so they have to pierce deep, or layer upon layer thickly coiled, forming a mysterious small world of tree roots under the floor.
"This is a sacred tree." Priest Mingyue saw Ling Gu's curiosity, and took the initiative to explain to him: "It was originally an ordinary spiritual plant, but something happened later. Magical power, so it is kept here by the temple."
"Tree species?" Ling Gu looked up carefully, and sure enough, he saw some fruits between the branches and leaves of the big tree, only the size of eggs, and the number was very small. The dark green peel was not easy to find.
"This is a remnant of the supernatural potion." Boyan suddenly spoke at this time.
Ling Gu remembered Boyan's life experience, so he didn't have the nerve to ask Boyan.Boyan didn't intend to continue talking, but fortunately Priest Mingyue was understanding.
"After those supernatural potions were looted, less than a hundred were kept by the temple. This is always a hidden danger, and I was a little interested in this thing, so I used it for research. What I didn't expect was that there were For spiritual power, by accident, that potion was absorbed by this spiritual plant, and it began to grow wildly and devoured other potions. Then it produced tree seeds, which also had the power of potions, but very Unstable. In order to prevent some people with ulterior motives, the existence of this sacred tree was not told to the city residents. As for the people in the temple, except for the five priests, no one knew its origin."
Ling Gu was surprised: "It means that this tree is actually conscious?"
"Talk is better than nothing." Priest Mingyue said flatly, "Let's get back to business. Ma Jihao was poisoned and drowned."
Hearing this, Ling Gu said in his heart: Sure enough.
Qin Qian was not surprised, and asked, "What does the priest mean when he says he wants our help?"
Priest Mingyue said: "The poison was poisoned in the Taiyuan, and General Qin also knew the special nature of the Taiyuan. Now it is the Ma family who died again. Although Ma Wanlong made trouble in the post station and has an explanation, he will definitely not let it go."
Qin Qian smiled: "Priest Mingyue wants us to intervene to suppress the Ma family?"
"The Taiyuan is of great significance to Bermuda City. It must not fall into the hands of those forces in the city. Once it falls, Bermuda City will not be far from the flames of war." Priest Mingyue said and glanced at Qin Qian again : "It's not so much that I want you to intervene, it's better to say that those companies can't sit still."
"Priest Mingyue means that Ma Jihao's death may have been caused by one of the four families, including the Ma family?" Qin Qian's smile faded away, and only the corners of his mouth curled up——Ling Gu thought that Boyan and Qin Qiandu was a little bit paralyzed, one was expressionless, and the other was a smiling Buddha.
Ling Gu was distracted for a while, but still kept up with their thoughts, and was shocked: "No way, the Ma family only has two sons, can they afford such a big investment?"
"It's because of two sons." Qin Qian's mouth turned up a little more: "Ma Wanlong can't do anything, but those in his family are not soft-hearted. Otherwise, do you think that in the past few decades, Ma Wanlong's seven wives and concubines, Just two children? And if it is true, the wives and concubines who attacked Ma Jihao must be dependent, so which power do they rely on?"
"In the current situation, if the Commander's Mansion does not intervene, it is tantamount to surrendering the Imperial Court to those forces, and I am afraid that they will retaliate sooner or later; if they intervene, it will follow their minds. As for Ma Wanlong..."
Ling Gu interjected: "Ma Wanlong must have seen the situation clearly. Otherwise, he dared to pour dirty water on the commander-in-chief's mansion so blatantly yesterday? I'll go, my son just died. When the father saw that the situation was not right, he immediately turned his weakness into an offensive. Use the death of his son to make a fuss first, he can justifiably come in and out of the Taiyuan than the other three forces."
Ling Gu gritted his teeth: "It's too ruthless. The commander-in-chief must intervene? I don't think Ma Wanlong is a fuel-efficient lamp, but he can use public opinion to create momentum."
Priest Mingyue smiled: "So, as a temple, I ask General Qin to help find out the truth."
Qin Qian also smiled and cupped his hands: "It's a duty."
Ling Gu blinked, and then was stunned——Mingyue Priest's four-two-handed move is brilliant.The citizens of Bermuda City adore the Marshal's Mansion, but rely on the Temple.Not to mention the fact that the shrine came out, the commander of the commander-in-chief was famous, and he could occupy the peak of public opinion first.
Coming out of the temple, Ling Gu was still clutching the egg pocket on his chest, with a look of emotion on his face: "Priest Mingyue, it turns out that it is so unfathomable."
Qin Qian laughed a few times, but didn't answer, he said to Ling Gu: "Then I'll go to Taiyuan first, you..."
"I'll go too, I'll go too." Ling Gu pulled out of his emotions in an instant, followed a step, and stared at Qin Qian with a faint glow in his left eye.
Qin Qian remained silent, looked up at Boyan behind Ling Gu—dragged back.
Boyan understood Qin Qian's meaning, and replied blankly: "The commander only told me not to leave Madam's side, and to protect Madam well."
The implication is that wherever Madam goes, he will roll up his sleeves if Madam wants to fight, but he must not interfere with Madam's freedom of movement.
Ling Gu raised his eyebrows proudly.
Seeing his humble appearance, Qin Qian pursed his lips and exhaled heavily through his nose, and sighed, "Then let's go, call a carriage."
He wasn't worried about Ling Gu causing any moths - he was used to it 1 years ago.However, there are really more than those seventeen or eighteen-year-old kids who look like bean sprouts in the Taiyuan. In the training ground camp on the second hill, there are all young, strong, and heroic city defense forces. ah.

☆、【four samples】
Came to Taiyuan again, but overnight, the gate of Taiyuan had been erected again.There are also a few more armed door guards.Those guards were dressed in different clothes, but none of them were wearing the military uniform of Taiyuan.Priest Mingshui stood at the door, and when he saw them coming, he trotted two steps to meet them.
"Master Ling, General Qin, General Bo, please come with me." Priest Mingshui smiled and cupped his hands, his bald forehead reflected a little in the sun.That temperament, just like a dogleg image.
Ling Gu really didn't see how Priest Mingshui got to be one of the five priests.
"The door is the guards of the Ma family and the Wan family." After a few people entered the door, Priest Mingshui reported in a low voice: "They sent people here early in the morning, but they didn't go in. The Ma family said they wanted to guard Ma Jifei's safety, Wan Jia was called by the Ma family to help. Ouch, thanks to the help of Priest Mingyue to inform you, otherwise, what would I do."
Priest Mingshui rubbed his hands pitifully, shrinking his neck like a quail.
"The people of the Ma family released Ma Jifei back to the Taiyuan, which means that they will come here sooner or later. Is there anyone who specially guards Ma Jifei?" Qin Qian asked.
"That's not true." Priest Mingshui said in embarrassment: "I wanted them to take him back, but Governor Ma said that it was against the rules of the Taiyuan, so he sent Ma Jifei back to the Taiyuan, and then sent someone to guard the gate. .”
"The Ma family is probably passive in this matter, so even if they want to participate, they will probably wait for Ma Jihao's 'Spirit of Three Days' to come. If the Ma family does not make trouble, the other families will not be able to fish in troubled waters for the time being." Qin Qian walked and analyzed to himself.
Ling Gu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Don't the other families have children in the Taiyuan? What if they let their children make trouble?"
Qin Qian said with a smile: "There is really no such thing. The Gong family has only one son, who has graduated from the Taiyuan and returned home to learn to manage the family business; the Wan family has many sons and daughters, but the older one is too big and the younger one is too big." Little ones, none of them are in the Taiyuan; the children of Youjia never enter the Taiyuan."
Ling Gu raised his eyebrows: "From this point of view, Ma Jihao's death seems really unusual."
Qin Qian did not express his opinion, but said to Priest Mingshui: "Take us to the Academy History Museum. Priest Mingyue said that we are here to investigate the matter of Ma Jihao, so let's start with Ma Jihao's academic records."
"Okay." Priest Mingshui's expression relaxed a lot. With Qin Qian as a think tank, he felt at ease.
"Let's take the road by the lake." Qin Qian added hastily.The History Museum of the Academy is on the hilltop of the Taiyuan. There are two main roads passing by, one passes through the practice field, and the other goes around half of Mingjing Lake and climbs the mountain, which is relatively far away.
Priest Mingshui was puzzled for a moment, but he didn't ask any further questions. He nodded obediently and led the way.
Ling Gu didn't doubt it, but asked curiously: "Of the four families you said before, except for the Ma family, which is in charge of salt, what about the others?"
"The Gong family is the largest rice merchant, and they also run many pawnshops and banks, so they are the richest; the Wan family is mining, and most of the iron, stone and metal in the city are in their hands; the You family started as a warrior, and they have a military camp. The commander's mansion only has [-] elite soldiers, while Bermuda City has a population of one million, and all the troops are in Youjia. Well, except for some city defense troops in the temple."
Ling Gu stared: "Then isn't this Youjia more powerful than the Shuaifu?"
Qin Qian chuckled: "Money, salt, iron, and soldiers, each of these four things is better than the commander's mansion. But it's another story when it comes to combat effectiveness."
Speechless—is it worth it?Money and power have been crushed by others, okay?
Ling Gu digested the new news with a bit of heartache, and didn't chat much along the way, looking at the scenery of the Taiyuan—Mingjing Lake is a resting place, the scenery is good, and the vision is wide.There are also quite a few students coming and going here. Although all of them are wearing long military uniforms that tuck in their waists, they are not small, and all of them have panicked faces. Obviously, the shadow of Ma Ji's unintentional death has overwhelmed the surprise of being discovered in the secret realm. .
Ling Gu hated the Ma family even more in his heart.
After walking for a long time and climbing the mountain, I finally opened the Academy History Museum.The Academy History Museum is a seven-story tower with octagonal eaves, and a string of metal bells is hung on each eaves corner, which can make a sound when the wind blows.But the voice was very soft, and the pitch was different. Once the wind passed, it was like playing a melodious and light tune, and it drifted away with the wind. Instead of being noisy, it felt very pleasant.
Several people stopped in front of the tower, and Priest Mingshui started tinkering with a weird mechanical gear in front of the door.
"The Academy History Museum not only has the archives of the previous students of the Taiyuan, but also has many secrets of the Taiyuan. The access here is very strict, and each floor has a new door lock. It requires the dean or the elder of the Taiyuan. Only by leading the way can we enter." Qin Qian explained to Ling Gu from the side.
Ling Gu nodded understandingly.
Entering the tower, Ling Gu was very surprised by the cleanliness inside.This place is very similar to a library. Books range from thread-bound books to cloth and even bamboo slips, and they are placed on different bookshelves in a very orderly manner.
And the most amazing thing is that the tower is very bright. From the outside, there are only a few small windows on the first floor, but from the inside to the outside, it is almost completely transparent—of course, those few small windows are the ones that need to be opened. .
"The students' files are on the first floor, the second floor is the records of the gentlemen of the Taiyuan, and the third floor..." Priest Mingshui introduced each floor, and then said: "I opened all the floors, I still have something to do." I'll excuse you first."
Priest Mingshui left in a hurry after finishing speaking.
"Ma Jihao is a sixth-grade student, so there are quite a lot of files here." Qin Qian pulled out a thin roll of cloth from the bookshelf, and pulled it away, but it seemed endless, and he piled up a small bag after a while on the table.
Ling Gu thought to himself: The cloth must have been refined using a formation technique.
"What are you looking for?" Ling Gu leaned over to look, and there were dense small scripts all over it. Qin Qian just swept it over without looking carefully.
"This." Qin Qian's hand stopped suddenly, and then pointed to a place marked with vermilion ink: "There are special places, which will be marked with cinnabar. For example, demerits and the like."
"That's really good. Huh? Repeated grade?" Ling Gu frowned and said, "But the previous party also said that Ma Jihao's martial arts performance was excellent. Why did he repeat the grade and stay for three years?"
"This happened when he was in the third grade." Qin Qian thought for a while and said, "Ma Jifei is two years younger than Ma Jihao. If Ma Jifei entered the Taiyuan at this time, he should be in the first grade. The Taiyuan is divided into two years. Eight grades, all will be recorded in the file, and will be used as an inspection when they graduate. If the file is poor, it will be difficult to get a good job when they go out to the imperial court. Since Ma Jimo is not an idiot in this case, there is only one The reason."
"Repeat the grade for his brother?" Ling Gu said strangely: "That's too strange. If you really want to study together, you can just enter the school together. And at this time, Ma Jifei is almost finishing the first grade, so even if you repeat the grade, you will only stay for two years." enough."
"Bo Yan, help me find Ma Jifei's file." Qin Qian said loudly.Then he looked at the cloth in his hand, and after confirming that there was nothing else missing, he rolled it back slowly.
"Do you suspect that people from the Taiyuan did it?" Ling Gu asked: "People from the other three families in the Taiyuan did it?"
"Well. The God Attendant said that the onset time of the poison was five hours. Before Ma Jihao was killed, the Taiyuan was closed and no one could enter." Qin Qian replied.
The corner of Ling Gu's mouth twitched: "With the magic circle at the gate of the Taiyuan, are you sure no one can get in?"
Qin Qian smiled: "The weakest part of the Taiyuan is the gate. Otherwise, do you think that the four families have never made an idea of the Taiyuan for so many years? I just didn't expect that this time they would directly attack the Ma family."
"Don't want to let go of the sheep but not the wolf? Use your own son?" Ling Gu had a toothache, and stretched out his hand to cover the cloth pocket hanging on his chest. Even he himself didn't know why, anyway, he gently rubbed the egg through the cloth with his fingers .
"It's because it's very strange that Priest Mingyue asked me to help." What Qin Qian didn't finish was - the "sacrifices" of the four families are so "precious", so the things they want must be very "precious".
At this time, Boyan brought Ma Jifei's file over.Ma Jifei is also in the sixth grade now, and his files can be piled up on a table.But this time, Qin Qian had a goal and pulled directly to the front, and immediately found a familiar vermilion.
Ling Gu leaned over to take a look, and asked strangely, "What does this five-pointed star mean?"
Qin Qian smiled: "It means that we are going to the top floor of the tower."
☆、【Murder Case】
On the top floor of the Academy History Museum are all the secrets of the Imperial Academy.Qin Qian quickly found out the files about Ma Jifei.
The record above is surprisingly concise. Ma Jihao was in the same grade as An Liang, who fell into the water with Ma Jifei and was rescued by Ma Jihao, but An Liang was not rescued in time and died.Ma Jifei was frightened and was repeated for one year.
Boyan went downstairs to find An Liang's file, the record was equally concise, and the scroll could only be stretched the width of a palm.It is only said that Anliang's family is poor, but his spiritual strength is good, so he broke the rules and entered the Taiyuan.In the third grade, he accidentally drowned and died.The record ends here.
"That's it?" Ling Gu was a little discouraged: "There is no clue at all."
Qin Qian packed up his things and smiled: "Let's go out, the students in the first grade with Ma Jihao have all graduated, so we can only ask the students in the sixth grade."
After hearing this, Ling Gu suddenly realized: "Yes, there are always two versions of official records and folk records. Is there any secret that is unknown?"
Qin Qian: "..."
"Let's go, sixth grade...is there a fixed classroom or courtyard?" Ling Gu just wanted to leave, but turned back.
"The schools here are all shared by the Taiyuan, but the students of the Taiyuan live in accommodation, so just go to their dormitory. The dormitory of the sixth grade is not far from here."
The sleeping area is not much different from the real world, but the building and interior decoration are different.The dormitory area has a public canteen, a practice field for rest and study, and a large study.The environment is very nice.
As soon as Qin Qian and Boyan appeared, they were recognized by many students—many of the students in Taiyuan came here for the purpose of joining the city defense army of the commander's mansion, so Bai Yu and the three generals were their idols.
"It's very popular." Ling Gu smiled. There are more men than women in the Taiyuan, and the sleeping areas are separated, but they go to school together on weekdays, so there are not so many moral and etiquette constraints.At this moment, a group of youthful teenagers and girls looked over with their eyes shining, Ling Gu let out a long sigh, and said in a rippling tone: "The smell of spring~"
Qin Qian glanced at him and sighed: "You really... haven't changed at all."
Ling Gu raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"Treat people like children." Qin Qian said, then ignored Ling Gu, and asked the students about the Ma brothers.
Ling Gu stood there in a daze for a while, and then wondered—the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't treat Qin Qian as a child, which child would collapse into a sinister smile?
In front of their idols, fans always know everything, and Qin Qian and Boyan quickly got the information they wanted.
"Bullies? Why am I not surprised at all." Ling Gu said: "For such a bully, my younger brother and his classmates drowned at the same time, so I want to know who to save first. Or, did he really have a move to save that Anliang?"
Qin Qian also thought about this, sighed and said: "Many students don't know what happened back then. They are all afraid of the Ma family brothers, and wish they could go around. But because of the strict rules of the Taiyuan, although the Ma family brothers did evil, But it’s not too extreme, so there’s no one who particularly hates them because of their bullying.”
"Then do they have any friends? There are always more news from friends of friends." Ling Gu said.
Qin Qian shook his head: "The two brothers played by themselves. The only student who was better than Ma Jihao before has graduated, and that student surprised me. His name is Gong Shenglang."
"The Gong family who sells rice?" Ling Gu was surprised: "Then shall we go out and ask him now?"
"Again……"
"what!"
A sudden scream interrupted their conversation, and then Ling Gu heard a student screaming - "Someone jumped into the lake!"
Qin Qian quickly disappeared in place, and Ling Gu and Boyan also ran towards the lake. When they arrived at the lake, they saw a drenched student half-sitting at Qin Qian's feet, talking to himself nervously .
"Ma Jifei?" Ling Gu's eyes widened, and he was stunned: "Didn't he know how to swim? Suicide?"
"Hysteria." Qin Qian said, motioning Ling Gu with his hand to listen carefully to what Ma Jifei said.
Ma Jifei's voice was intermittent, his speech was fast, and his logic was chaotic, unable to form words.But the key words are still clear, he said: "I didn't do it, I'm sorry, I didn't bully An He, I'm sorry, An Liang, don't come to me!"
This is the same thing over and over again, but enough information has been revealed-Anliang's death must not be simple.Accidental under the skin, maybe it is a murder case.
"Hand." Boyan said suddenly at this moment, staring at Ma Jifei's hand.
Qin Qian squatted down and pulled Ma Jifei's wrist, and opened his sleeve. After seeing the marks on his wrist, Qin Qian immediately frowned—there was a circle of bruises on Ma Jifei's wrist, and the shape of those bruises was It is normal to connect one section after another, indicating that the degree of force is different.In other words, it wasn't ropes or aquatic plants that bound his wrists.
Qin Qian lifted Ma Jifei's other sleeve again, this time it was more intuitive - half a palm print.The palm is about the size of a normal person, but the bruise on the top has reached Ma Jifei's upper arm.
In other words, this is a hand, and the fingers of this hand are twice as long as ordinary people.
Could it be a wild beast?Ling Gu was surprised from the bottom of his heart, but luckily his head was still clear, so he didn't express his doubts - if the rumors of wild beasts lurking in the courtyard spread, what kind of chaos would happen, instead, the four families agreed.
Qin Qian took a look and immediately put down Ma Jifei's sleeves, then he reached out and tapped Ma Jifei's forehead, and Ma Jifei closed his eyes and fainted on the ground.
Qin Qian said to Boyan: "Bo Yan, you send him back to Ma's house, by the way, ask Ma's back then..."
"I can't leave Madam's side." Boyan said in the same way, not giving Qin Qian any face.
Qin Qian: "..."
Hearing this, Ling Gu smiled and waved to Qin Qian: "Go and see it off. Didn't Ma Jifei talk about Anhe just now? Hearing the names, Anhe and Anliang are probably brothers, and maybe they are also students here. We Ask about Anhe in Taiyuan."
Qin Qian had no choice but to compromise, and said, "There is no rush today, you go and let Priest Mingshui seal Mingjing Lake first, and then go back to the commander-in-chief's mansion. Lunch is almost here."
Boyan following Ling Gu only made it easier for Ling Gu to get into trouble, Qin Qian really didn't want them to stay here longer.But at the Ma's side, it's not something that can be solved by handing over to a soldier. Some things are actually not a question of whether to say it or not, but a question of who to tell it to.
"I see, I won't see you off." Ling Gu waved Qin Qian goodbye, thinking: I'm already bigu, and I won't die if I eat less.
Seeing Ling Gu's expression, Qin Qian suddenly felt very tired. When he went out of the Taiyuan, he flew a mechanical bird to the Commander's Mansion - Tutor, which means to let the head of the family discipline.
As soon as Qin Qian left, Ling Gu grabbed a student next to him and said, "Go and tell Mingshuiji... the dean, just say what General Qin said to let him seal off Mingjing Lake first. Remember it."
The student nodded ignorantly—although he didn't know who this person was, the two generals seemed to know him very well, so nodding was fine.
After giving the order, Ling Gu asked again with bright eyes: "Where are all your senior students here?"
In the eighth grade system of Taiyuan, Ling Zhaowen is 20 years old and is about to graduate.In addition, the Taiyuan is no different from the current schools, and the students are basically older. The students in the upper grades are basically no less than twenty, and they have already become young people.
Tall and handsome young men, wearing military uniforms with swords on their waists.
If you don't take a look, his two visits to the Taiyuan will be considered in vain, okay?
The students didn't know what Ling Gu was thinking, so they obediently pointed in the direction and said, "Just behind the mountain over there is the practice field for the seniors. They are already participating in city defense missions."
"Thanks, you have a future, I am optimistic about you." Ling Gu patted the student on the shoulder, turned and left.
Boyan followed two steps, feeling a bit puzzled: "Ma'am, you don't want to ask about An He?"
"Yes, isn't this going to find seniors? You think, seniors have stayed in the Taiyuan for the longest time, and they know the most." Ling Gu patted Boyan's arm: "Besides, over there Nice scenery~"
Boyan: "Oh."
Boyan always felt that there were other deep meanings in Ling Gu's words, anyway, he just had to remember: don't leave Madam's side.
The author has something to say: the sixth day without comments QAQ
[Talking]: Fei Yang's personality is already being written.
☆、【Suspect】
The mountain in the senior training ground is the same as the mountain in the Academy History Museum.And there is a way to go.When he arrived at the training ground, Ling Gu realized that it would be easier to go to the Academy History Museum from here.
Ling Gu raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood Qin Qian's careful thoughts.
Cut, why are you staring at me so closely? Am I the kind of person who goes on and on?
The practice field is very large, like a playground, but there are many obstacles for training.After all, spiritual training is different from the real army. At least in terms of observability, the spiritual training picture is better than rolling in the mud.
With Boyan around, they went in unimpeded, and soon there were coaches on the practice ground.
