Chapter 1080: Friends of the Neck

Overnight, the five powerful mansions in Luoyang City were all washed in blood. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Luoju Prefecture and the Jinwuwei Army launched an investigation overnight and discovered a strange phenomenon. The owners of each family and their relatives were killed, and their heads were cut off, leaving only their bodies. And the other slaves and maids in the family, except for the family guards who resisted by force, were all safe and sound. According to the survivors, the killers broke in at night by climbing over the wall. They have a clear purpose and extremely powerful means, and they kill people with a single sword. Those who were raised by their masters and were known as strong in martial arts had no power to fight back in front of those murderers.

There is no doubt that this is a premeditated and well-planned case.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven in the peaceful and prosperous world, such a huge case is enough to reach the heavens and shock the government and the opposition. However, before dawn, the case had not yet been officially investigated, and the newly appointed Luozhou Ling died suddenly due to excessive fright.

The reason is that the five families that were destroyed are: Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Changzong, Zhang Changqi, Zhang Tongxiu, and Zhang Jingxiong. Except for Zhang Changzong, who had long since died, and Zhang Yizhi, who lived in the palace that night, these five families were all wiped out, and more than 30 heads were cut off overnight.

The Zhang family, except for Zhang Yi, is almost wiped out!

On the main hall of every house, the same blood word was left - murderer, veteran!

The divine capital surrounded by Luoshui was originally peaceful and tranquil, calm and watery. At present, the aftermath of the right-back mutiny has not completely dissipated, and this huge case is like throwing a depth charge into the water.

Suddenly, the waves were three feet high and earth-shattering!

Hearing the news, the young Zhang Yizhi fell to the ground with a scream, unconscious.

Wu Zetian, who was close to him, did not move at all like petrification, and even his eyes seemed to be frozen.

When Shangguan Wan'er heard the news, she was shocked and ran to find Princess Taiping, but saw that she was kneeling in front of the Buddha shrine and burning incense and chanting scriptures, as quiet as Zhishui.

"Your Highness......"

"Quiet place, needless to say."

With such an answer, Shangguan Wan'er was shocked in her heart: Could it be that this matter was handled by the princess? !

"Come on."

Princess Taiping got up, put down the Buddha beads and other things, and took Shangguan Wan'er to the peach forest in the backyard.

When she arrived here, Shangguan Wan'er's mind was slightly in a trance.

Originally, there was no such peach forest in the mansion, and it was Xue Shao who specially planted it after marrying Shangguan Wan'er. What is the meaning of it, Shangguan Wan'er knows it. Every time she walked here, those sweet moments of getting along with Xue Shao would always come to her mind. As for whether Princess Taiping knew the deep meaning of Xue Shao's planting of this peach forest, it is unknown.

"I didn't do it." When Princess Taiping said this, she looked into Shangguan Wan'er's eyes.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded in horror and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I do know that sooner or later, something like this will happen." With that, Princess Taiping slapped her palm on a peach tree beside her.

The remaining snow coughed down, and the Linlang sisters hurriedly stepped forward to support an umbrella to block it.

Princess Taiping looked up at the sky, "Stop, you can't stop it." ”

Shangguan Wan'er clenched her teeth and muttered for a moment, "Only at this time, how is it good?" ”

"What are we doing?" Princess Taiping actually chuckled.

"The murderer leaves a word, and the murderer is a veteran." Shangguan Wan'er's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the topic and splash dirty water on her husband." ”

"Let them splash it, we should have gotten used to it." Princess Taiping was a little unusually quiet, and said lightly, "Right now, I don't think it's too much." ”

Shangguan Wan'er thought for a moment, "Are they going to avenge Guo An?" ”

"Or else?" Princess Taiping's face became a little cold.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Princess Taiping with a slightly surprised expression.

Such coldness is too similar to Xue Shao.

"What are we going to do?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.

Princess Taiping smiled slightly, and took Shangguan Wan'er's hand, "Shouldn't I ask you this?" ”

"What's the explanation?" Shangguan Wan'er looked puzzled.

"My husband often says, you are the daughter of our family." Princess Taiping said with a smile, "Now, it's time for you to come up with ideas." ”

Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly, "Such a big event, and it happened suddenly, I ...... it for a while."

"Then do nothing." Princess Taiping patted Shangguan Wan'er's hand as a sign of comfort.

"Adapting to change?"

"Or else?" Princess Taiping chuckled again, "The mutiny of the right guard had something to do with me before, so I stepped forward to stop it." And afterwards, instead of pleasing it, His Majesty was angry with me. At present, there is a debtor and a master, and it has nothing to do with me. Why should I take the initiative to jump out and attract everyone's attention, but push myself to the forefront? ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "However, if these murderers really wanted to avenge Guo An and bloody the Zhang family, then it would be more or less ......."

Princess Taiping shook her head with a smile, "Guo An is the heart of her husband, that's right. But even if he wants to avenge Guo An, killing people and exterminating the clan with a dark moon and high wind will not be a means that the husband will use. If someone really wants to splash dirty water on my husband and our heads......"

"How?" Shangguan Wan'er was also stupid for a while, and actually asked.

Princess Taiping smiled slightly, "I will let them know that Princess Taiping's temper is far stronger than Xue Shao's!" ”

The north of Luoyang, the south of the mountain.

On a mountain trail that only hunters and woodcutters walk, countless ironclad guards are pouring in today. Heavily armed and murderous, they marched cautiously in the posture of responding to the enemy in the field, and were about to encircle a small mountain col.

The leading general is the general of Yulin Wei on Gongren. As soon as he waved his hand, the sound of the bow and arrows on the bones and bones made all the soldiers shout and be majestic.

A voice came from the col, "Don't be so troublesome. I've been waiting for a long time! ”

Gong Ren raised his hand and motioned for the archers not to shoot, then dismounted and stepped forward on foot.

"General be careful, the other party is a demon who kills people without blinking!"

"Ben will have his own decision. Move! On Gongren scolded, but still walked forward.

Turning a waist-deep weed, Gong Ren's footsteps stopped, his eyes widening in astonishment.

In front of him, a group of men were sitting cross-legged around a lonely grave. In front of each of them was a sword, a sword of snow.

The lonely grave is covered with soil and has not yet grown new grass, and there is a wooden tablet in front of the grave that has just been erected, on which is written a column of words - "The tomb of General Guo Gong'an, the right guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

And in front of that wooden monument, dozens of bloody human heads were neatly placed!

Even Gong Ren, who has killed countless people, couldn't help but take a cool breath when he saw it.

"Who are you waiting for?" On Gongren asked in a loud voice, and secretly counted them, there were thirteen of them in total.

"Murderers, veterans, too." None of the thirteen people got up, and one of them replied coldly, "Since you already know, why bother asking?" ”

On Gong Ren was stunned for a long time, and the ghost envoy said, "You are all Xue Gong's soldiers?" ”

"We've long since been disarmed and returned to the field." One of them ripped off his robe, revealing half of his left arm.

The other twelve also took off their shirts or rolled up their trousers.

On Gong Ren was dumbfounded...... They're all disabled?!

The thirteen people put on their clothes and still sat back in place, and one of them said: "The general will definitely not believe that our thirteen cripples can kill all five households of the Zhang family overnight." ”

On Gongren gritted his teeth, "I believe it." ”

Thirteen laughed.

On Gong Ren's brows furrowed.

The sergeants were collectively stunned.

"Why?" On Gong Ren asked.

Finally, one of them stood up, bowed to Guo An's wooden tablet, and said, "We can't find General Guo's body." Therefore, I can only quietly set up a place for him here, a well-dressed mound. ”

On Gong Ren is speechless. Guo An has long been burned to charcoal ashes, where is the body to be found?

The man walked up to Gong Ren and said, "General Guo is generous, loyal, and heroic, but he died unjustly at the hands of the villain. Now the God Emperor is partial to the injustice of the court and allows the murderer to go unpunished. We and other cripples were Brother Pao Ze of General Guo before his death, and I can't get used to it, and I can't bear it. So, he took the head of the murderer and came to pay tribute to General Guo's heroic soul in the sky. That's just the way it is. ”

In fact, even if this person didn't say it, Gong Ren had already guessed most of the truth. Now although he was ordered to lead the army to arrest the murderer, he secretly felt sorry for the people in front of him, and said in a low voice: "After the matter is completed, why don't you escape?" But instead they threw themselves into the net and sent letters for the officers and soldiers to come here to arrest you? ”

The man sat back calmly and said, "As the general said, we and General Guo were both pawns under Duke Xue. We are illiterate, and we don't understand the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the righteousness of Confucianism. Like General Guo, we only remember the law of Xue Gong's rule of the army: the national law is strict, and the military order is like a mountain! ”

On Gong Ren understood. He sighed.

"Murderer, pay for your life!"

The thirteen of them drew their swords in unison.

The sergeants were stunned, and they all showed their swords and guns or bows and crossbows.

"Don't move!" On Gong Ren waved his hand and shouted.

"Boom-boom-boom"

There was a thud, the sound of a sword piercing through flesh.

Thirteen people, neatly wiped their throats with their shiny long swords.

In front of Guo An's tomb, thirteen new corpses were added.

The cold wind passed the post, and the grass danced.

The blood-stained tomb was silent.

On Gongren stood for a long time, then turned back blankly and asked the attendant behind him, "Have you ever seen this kind of thing?" ”

The attendant shook his head sadly, in shock and solemnly, "I have only heard it in ancient books or legends. ”

"Neck-to-neck friends?"

"Hmmm......"

"The soldiers brought out by Xue Gong are really extraordinary...... "Gong Ren took a deep breath, "Since it only appears in ancient books and legends, then the court and the empress will definitely not believe it." ”

Vientiane Shrine.

Wu Zetian was furious, "Thirteen remnants were able to wash five households and kill more than 100 people overnight, including more than 60 powerful domestic slave martial artists. How can you believe me? ”

On Gong Ren stood with his fists clenched, "Your Majesty, the minister is telling the truth, and there is nothing to lie. Chen guessed that these remnants were likely to be injured and retired scouts, who had served under Guo An, so they had a deep relationship with Guo An, and they were righteous. When the minister was still in Tibet, he had already heard the name of the fisherman Guo An and the scouts under his command. Their skills are extraordinary, and it is difficult to describe. The minister could only say that Hugh said that there were thirteen people, even if it was three...... The minister thinks that they can do it too! ”

"Needless to say." Wu Zetian waved his hand, "Zong Chuke!" ”

"The minister is here!" Zong Chuke went out of the class and promised.

"Those thirteen murderers who are afraid of crime and self-judged, there must be helpers, or the culprit who is planning behind the scenes." Wu Zetian shouted loudly, "Give me, check!" ”
