Doctor, you are so cold

It was getting late, Yan Yunqi exchanged a few words with everyone, without explaining the reason, he sent twelve people to the carriage under ambiguous circumstances.These twelve people are not ordinary people who can be in the officialdom, and they are not innocent in their daily activities. At this time, they are full of doubts in their hearts, but they can't figure out what Yan Yunqi is thinking.

According to Yan Yunze's instructions, no one was allowed to bring people or guards with him on this trip, so although there were a lot of people, only four carriages were used, wandering in the wind and snow to the ruined temple on the outskirts of the capital.

It was still dark, and everyone got out of the carriage and stepped on the snow, making "creak" and "creak" sounds.They took the lights from the groom and watched the four carriages leave in the snow.

Yan Yunqi said: "Everyone go into the temple and wait."

Among the 12 people, Yan Yunzhi had the highest status. If he didn't ask questions, no one dared to ask them.They looked at each other for a while, seeing Yan Yunzhi bowed his head and did not speak, so they had no choice but to follow behind.

As soon as they arrived at the temple, they felt a strange fragrance coming from them.

Then, there were dozens of "plops" and "plops", and all the people fell limp and fell to the ground.

Before he fell into a coma, Yan Yunqi listened to the sound of footsteps in the distance, and cursed inwardly: Even the route that takes us to the mansion must be so careful, how can he call for help later? !

——————————————————————————————————————

Gradually regaining consciousness, Yan Yunqi slowly opened his eyes, and immediately felt cold all over.

The sky was a little dark, and the snow had stopped. With a jolt, he woke up suddenly, and quickly supported his body to leave the cold ground. He shook his head in dizziness, and the scene in front of him became clear.

There were more than a dozen people lying in disorder on the ground, Yan Yunqi looked at it, and his heart darkened.Those twelve people were all there, but Shen Yan was missing.He quickly looked around and saw that they were in a huge house surrounded by extremely high walls.

Everyone woke up one after another, sitting on the ground one by one, a little delirious.

Cavalry Captain Yang Ru woke up the second after Yan Yunqi, a little dazed: "Where is this?"

Everyone felt that something was wrong, stood up one by one, and looked at Yan Yunqi in unison, the faces of the few who couldn't bear their temper were already a little ugly.

Yan Yunqi raised his eyebrows slightly: "This king has received the emperor's order to take all the adults to the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, but he didn't know that he would be stunned, and he didn't know where this place is."

In this sentence, there is not a single lie, but there is no truth.

He had already anticipated the current situation in his heart.If everyone finds that something is wrong, they will definitely blame him.Once the conflict between myself and everyone intensifies, I will die.If this happens, Four Blades will definitely be happy to hear it.

Therefore, he can't tell the truth for the time being, and if he can delay it for a day, it will be a day.

Yan Yunqi watched the last Yan Yunzhi also stood up, and said: "There must be a mystery here. It's best not to be too far apart, and look around together."

These words made sense, everyone quickly agreed, and searched around in the huge yard.

The yard looks huge because there is a large lake and deserted gardens in the distance.In winter, the surface of the lake is frozen, the branches are sparse, and the end of the lake and garden is a high gray wall.

The courtyard wall is so high that it is difficult for even a person with light skills to jump up.Among the 13 people including Yan Yunqi, seven of them are military generals, but their kung fu is not too strong.

Everyone walked around the yard where they could walk, and was surprised to find that there was no gate in this yard.

There is no door.

This shows what?

Lieutenant Lin Wenjing's face became gloomy: "So, we are trapped here?"

Wei Qingchi, the son of Marquis of Beiyuan, said: "The courtyard without a door looks like it was built to lock people up, but it looks like a prison cell."

As soon as these words came out, there was a little uneasy look on everyone's face.

You Shiyi said Feng Can was the first to panic: "What should I do..."

Li Shaoyan looked at the crowd and said hastily: "The emperor has his own reasons. Since everyone is here, please feel at ease. It's too cold outside, why don't you go into the inner courtyard and have a look."

As soon as the emperor was mentioned, everyone naturally dared not speak anymore.Feng Minzhi's son Feng Bai hurriedly said: "The emperor is wise."

Yan Yunqi nodded and led everyone to the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard is not too big, it is divided into three small courtyards.In the small courtyard in the middle, there is a main hall, a side hall for eating, a kitchen, and a toilet.There is a door on the left and right of the small courtyard in the middle, connecting the east courtyard and the west courtyard respectively.

In any case, such a pattern is really strange.

Everyone filed into the main hall, and saw that the other decorations were quite ordinary, but they were immediately attracted by the dozen or so villains neatly arranged on the big round table.

The villains are about the size of a palm, made of straw, all look exactly the same, and their heads can be turned.The villain is smiling on the front, but sad on the back, which looks very strange.

Each villain has a name written on it.

On the thirteen villains from left to right, thirteen names are written in sequence, arranged in ascending order of official rank: Feng Can, Sun Yi, Peng Zhao, Liu Hui, Lin Wenjing, Wan Zheng, Yang Ru , Li Moyan, Feng Bai, Li Shaoyan, Wei Qingchi, Yan Yunzhi, Yan Yunqi.

However, on the right side of Yan Yunqi, there is another villain.A few words were written on the little man's body: "Mysterious and hospitable master".

Zhongzhen pointed Liu Hui to the little man on the far right and said, "What does this mean?"

Lin Wenjing immediately said irritably, "Could it be that besides us, there are No. 14 people here? What kind of master?"

Sun Yi said: "No way, if there is a master, why don't you come out to meet him?"

Yan Yunqi was surprised in his heart, but his face was calm, and he comforted everyone: "Don't worry, just wait and see."

Yan Yunzhi pointed to the empty seat between Wei Qingchi's villain and his own villain: "According to the official rank, this should be the position of Marquis Jingde. Why is there no villain?"

Looking at the empty seat, Yan Yunqi already had a bad premonition in his heart.

Before everyone answered, Peng Zhao bent down and picked up something: "What is this?"

Yan Yunqi narrowed his eyes, and immediately walked to his side, holding the villain in his hands.The little man had been cut in a mess, his head was almost broken, there were many knife marks on his face and chest, and even the grass inside had been turned out.

An incomplete "Zhao" character can be vaguely seen on the character on the villain's chest (Jingde Hou's name is Zhao Jing).

Yan Yunqi immediately exclaimed that it was terrible.

His heart felt a little heavy, and he ordered: "Everyone... Hurry up and look around for help."

Everyone had seen the world, but it was the first time they encountered such a weird scene, especially Feng Can and Sun Yi, who were civil servants themselves, were less courageous than the others, and their faces were a little flustered.

Sun Yi: "I don't know... what is the prince looking for?"

Shaoyan glanced at him, and his face was a little heavy: "Look for the corpse."

Sun Yi: "..."

Yan Yunqi gave a simple order, and a few people stayed in the middle courtyard to search, and the others split up to search the east and west courtyards.

After a while, a shout came from the East courtyard: "My lord, please come and have a look!"

Yan Yunqi hurriedly led a few people to the east courtyard.

There is a row of huts in the east courtyard, and the layout and exterior are also very weird, so Yan Yunqi couldn't help but take a second look.The call came from a hut in the farthest corner, and Yan Yunqi hurried in with a few people.

As soon as he entered the room, he was shocked by the decoration inside and his heart skipped a beat.

The whole room was decorated in pure white, with a dozen or so paper figurines standing aside, and white satin hanging from the beams, as if they were offering sacrifices.

Fourteen coffins were placed in the middle of the room.

Yan Yunze walked slowly.A name is engraved on each coffin.

The names of fourteen of them.

One of the coffins was opened and was filled with blood.Yan Yunqi stepped forward to check, and saw a corpse inside. The face, chest and abdomen had been cut horribly, and the shape was almost the same as that of a villain who had been cut up.The words engraved on the coffin were indeed "Zhao Jing".

All the people present were silent, and they were all a little speechless in shock by the present strange scene.

Yan Yunqi examined the corpse carefully.It is impossible to check in detail now, but according to his experience, this person died less than a day ago, and his figure and vaguely remnant appearance are indeed similar to Zhao Jing.

It is now afternoon, approaching evening. In this way, the time of Zhao Jing's death was about last night, and it is very likely that he was killed on the way to Yan Yunqi's palace.No wonder he couldn't come.

Next to the body, there was a letter.

Yan Yunqi quickly picked up the letter, only to see the words "Designed with Wang Qin" written on the envelope.

He opened the envelope carefully.

[Is the prince still satisfied with the gift I gave him?The game has already started, I really can't wait.Please be sure to keep the remaining fourteen villains safe, and don't move their positions.Pay attention to them if you want to know who will die next.The room where everyone sleeps at night has been arranged by the prince.I also gave the prince some hints and requirements, and asked the prince to do as I asked.If the hospitality is not good, please ask the prince to take care of it. 】The few sheets of paper below turned out to be the topographic map of the house, some inexplicable words and the allocation of rooms when sleeping at night.

Yan Yunqi put the letter away, unable to calm down at all, but his face was calm: "Cover the coffin of Marquis Jingde."

Everyone kept silent in a tacit understanding, covered the coffin, and then filed to the door.

Then, some of the crowd lowered their heads, their timid eyes began to turn red, and some stared closely at Yan Yunqi.

Seeing the unbearable faces of everyone, Yan Yunqi felt that he had to do something now.

Li Moyan looked at Yan Yunqi, and finally said: "My lord, with this posture, even the coffin has been prepared for us, so we can't get out."
