Chapter 855: Omen
When Yun Yao learned that the wedding date had been set, there was a hint of shame in her eyes, and her heartbeat accelerated a little.
"Why is the set date so close? Can you be ready in two months?"
She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was full of shame.
Ji Tianxing hugged her slender waist and said with a smile: "Uncle said that Yunling Palace has already started to prepare, and two months is enough."
Moreover, I also want to marry you as soon as possible and fulfill my long-cherished wish. ”
"Long-cherished wish?" Yun Yao raised her eyebrows, looked at him with a somewhat complicated look, and asked, "We have known each other for less than two years now, how can it be called a long-cherished wish?"
Ji Tianxing showed a playful smile, and whispered in her ear: "From the first time I saw you, I thought in my heart that one day, I will definitely marry you!"
Gentle whispers rang in her ears, and the warm air flow brushed on her crystal earlobes, which immediately made her earlobes red, very cute.
A thick sense of shame welled up in her heart, making her bow her head in shame, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Tianxing, when you first saw me, you had this thought?"
"Of course. Ji Tianxing said in a firm tone: "Although I was a toad at that time, and you are a noble swan......
However, a toad that doesn't want to eat a swan is not a good toad. ”
With that, he stretched out his arms around Yun Yao's thin waist and hugged her tightly into his arms.
Yun Yao became more and more ashamed, snuggled into his arms, and her heart was full of complicated thoughts.
Looking back on the past year or so, the various experiences between the two made her full of emotion.
After a long time, the two separated.
The two of them left the hospitality hall and rushed to Yun Yao's study, and then discussed the matter of Yuejian City.
......
Two hours later, it was noon.
Ji Tianxing left the City Lord's Mansion alone and rushed to the Cao Mansion in Dongcheng to personally check the situation at the scene.
The Cao family is one of the wealthy families in Yuejian City, which has been inherited for more than 300 years, and its power should not be underestimated.
Moreover, the Cao family has been in full swing in recent decades, with many talents in the family, and the family business is also very prosperous.
It's a pity that when the Cao family was at its most glorious, this tragedy happened, and more than 80 members of the family were killed, which can be described as tragic.
This incident caused an uproar in the city and made hundreds of people talk about it.
When Ji Tianxing arrived at Cao's mansion, he saw that the huge mansion was guarded by city guards all around.
No one dared to approach around the mansion, and occasionally some people passed by here, and they all tried to stay away from Cao's mansion, and walked away quickly with a frightened expression.
In the palatial mansion, there was a deathly silence, filled with a trace of eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
Even in broad daylight, it makes people feel uncomfortable and panicked.
Ji Tian walked to the gate of Caofu and was stopped by the four city guards.
"This place has been sealed off by the City Lord's Mansion, and no one can enter without an edict from the City Lord's Mansion. ”
"I'm Emperor Ji Tianxing, and I'm here to investigate clues. He took out his identity token and said in a majestic voice.
The faces of the four city guards changed, and they immediately saluted respectfully and opened the gate for him.
Ji Tianxing stepped through the gate and walked into the Cao Mansion.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a wide front yard, in which several plane trees are planted, which are ten zhang high and at least 100 years old.
The wide canopy of trees covers almost the entire front yard, blocking out the midday sun and making it somewhat shady.
Under a plane tree as thick as a water tank, there was a pile of white bones, and there was a waist knife and half a pair of armor on the ground.
Ji Tianxing glanced at it, and he could see that it was the bones of a middle-aged man, who should be the guards of the Cao Mansion.
There is an ancient well in the corner of the yard, and the edge of the well is a circle of bluestone, and the wheel at the mouth of the well is intact, and there is a well rope and a bucket hanging on it.
However, there was a pile of white bones scattered along the edge of the well, as well as an embroidered sachet and a pair of embroidered shoes.
Ji Tianxing walked through the front yard with an expressionless face, looked around calmly with his eyes, and saw one white bone after another.
Since the tragedy in Cao's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion has sent troops to blockade this place, not allowing idle people to enter.
The scene in the mansion still retains its original appearance.
When Ji Tianxing saw those bones, some pictures vaguely appeared in his mind, and he could roughly guess the scene at the time of the incident.
The main courtyard has the largest number of people living in it, and the most bones.
Especially outside the main hall of Caofu, there were more than 20 piles of corpses scattered on both sides of the bluestone steps and the avenue.
The bones were male and female, old and young, but they died in the same way, they were all devoured by the Demon Gu puppet, turned into a pile of white bones, and fell to the ground.
Ji Tianxing walked around the Cao Mansion and found a total of eighty-four corpses.
Among them were several skeletons, which were laid in hidden places such as firewood houses and cellars.
If Yun Yao hadn't told him how many people the Cao family had, he wouldn't have felt any surprise.
Judging from the appearance, the Cao family suffered a catastrophe and was wiped out overnight.
But the bones of Cao Jingfeng, the eldest son of the Cao family, are not there, and his whereabouts have been unknown for a month.
After Ji Tianxing investigated the situation in Cao's Mansion, he was already eighty percent sure that the person who slaughtered the Cao family was Cao Jingfeng.
"A young man with a bright future, the demon Gu in his body has become a demon puppet who only knows how to kill, and he actually killed everyone in his family, including his father and mother and brothers and sisters......
Vicious demon Gu, damn demon clan!!"
He secretly clenched his fists, and a thick anger and killing intent had accumulated in his chest, he hated to shatter the Demon Emperor and all the demons into pieces!
At this moment, he suddenly frowned, revealing a puzzled look.
He vaguely sensed that there was a feeling of warmth in his head, as if something was burning in his head.
However, he did not feel uncomfortable, and the temperature on his forehead was very normal and unusual.
He hurriedly used his spiritual sense to look inward, and saw that the Heavenly Dzi in his mind was flickering with a dense white light, exuding an invisible mysterious power.
"Sure enough, it was the mending dzi that reacted...... But is this a portent?"
This thought flashed through his mind, full of doubts, and he turned around the Cao Mansion twice.
As a result, the abnormal reaction of the Heavenly Bead did not dissipate, and continued to flicker with a white light.
But he didn't find any clues, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
The Dzi is too mysterious and powerful, and he knows nothing about the efficacy and secrets of the Dzi.
In desperation, he could only leave Cao's Mansion temporarily and return to the City Lord's Mansion.
By the time he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the Heavenly Dzi had calmed down and no longer flashed with white light.
Seeing this scene, he was able to determine that the vision of the masking dzi flashing and heating must be related to the Cao Mansion.
And Cao Mansion has nothing special except that it was brutally killed by demon puppets.
Thinking of this, he had a vague premonition that the abnormal reaction of the Heavenly Bead must be related to the Demon Gu puppet.
