Chapter 1223: Returning the Way You Came
"Check them one by one to see if there are any living mouths, this matter is not so simple, you must check it carefully." Luo Qingluan commanded with some seriousness, and his mind had already begun to analyze the situation.
"Yes." After Yuan Xingyongan finished speaking, the two began to check one by one, looking for a living mouth.
Maybe you can find out the living mouth and force a confession to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, this time it must be a conspiracy, how can there be thieves who all have such superb martial arts, absolutely wrong.
Luo Qingluan probed the wrist of each thief to determine if there was still a pulse.
After trying several people, but there was no pulse or breathing, Luo Qingluan shook his head helplessly: "These people are dead." ”
At this time, Yongan walked in front of a bandit and squatted down to measure, it seemed that there was still a vague pulse, he turned around and shouted Luo Qingluan, Luo Qingluan put his hand in the middle of the bandit, and he could still feel a faint breath.
"This person is still saved, as for the coma now, it should be too much blood loss, stop the bleeding first, and he will wake up after a while." Luo Qingluan analyzed, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
"Lean him against the tree." Luo Qingluan commanded, hoping to be saved.
Knowing that Luo Qingluan wanted to stay alive, Yuan Xing and Yongan dragged the surviving bandit over.
"Yuan Xing, Yong'an, you come over and watch him." There is only one last bandit, Luo Qingluan is looking forward to it, hoping that this last person can survive, so that he may be able to find some clues.
"This person has a strong pulse, and he should still be saved!" The next moment, Luo Qingluan's eyes lit up, and he made a new discovery.
Unexpectedly, just as Luo Qingluan turned around, the thief who had just been lying on the ground suddenly jumped up, rushed in his face, and punched Luo Qingluan fiercely.
"Princess, be careful." Yuan Xing flew up and protected Luo Qingluan to the side.
Fortunately, he controlled the strength and didn't use all his strength, just kicked him to the ground. Then, Yuan Xing pressed the thief to the ground and locked his hand, so that he could not escape.
Yuan Xingzheng wanted to ask, "Say, who is the person behind the scenes?" ”
The thief's jaw moved, his eyes suddenly became dull, his head gradually became heavy, and his eyes slowly closed.
Yuan Xing noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly pried the thief's mouth open, and a stream of black blood gushed out from inside, and he understood: "He bit his tongue and committed suicide!" ”
Luo Qingluan sighed and frowned: "Fortunately, there is still one person alive." ”
She thought about it for a while, only to realize that something was wrong: "Not good. ”
After Luo Qingluan finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the bandit lying by the tree, and sure enough, the thief also woke up just now, he knew that he couldn't run, so he quietly committed suicide without saying a word.
"It's still poison in their mouths, I can't imagine that they are so determined to die, it seems to be very similar to the dead." Luo Qingluan became more and more aware of the problem. It is impossible for ordinary bandits to kill themselves, but these are completely different, and they will not even beg for mercy.
Since there was no way to leave the thief's mouth alive, Luo Qingluan took out the medicine he brought with him, and bandaged the wounds on Yongan and Yuan Xing first, even if the two of them were not in danger of life, but they were covered with traces of knife wounds, and their clothes were dripping with blood, so they must be treated as soon as possible.
"Si~" Yuan Xing frowned, beads of sweat slipped down his forehead drop by drop, and he made a few painful sounds.
Luo Qingluan looked a little uncomfortable and comforted, "Thanks to the two of you along the way, I will definitely reward you vigorously when I go back." ”
"Princess, you don't have to say these words, it's our duty to protect you." Yuan Xing endured the pain and said.
The only two remaining guards were fine, they were all slightly injured in flesh and skin, and after the two of them used the gold sore medicine, they consciously patrolled around to prevent new sneak attacks.
Yongan was not willing to let the two clues be cut off like this, he carefully checked whether there were any items on their bodies, but after searching for a while, he found nothing, not to mention the objects on these bandits, not even ordinary things such as fire folds.
I didn't expect the people behind the scenes to be so cautious, and it seems a little difficult to find out where they came from!
After Luo Qingluan settled these bandits, he slowly walked to the sedan chair.
She cupped her chin in her hand, thinking about it little by little.
Thinking about it, from passing by here, to the appearance and killing of a group of bandits, she guessed that all this was done by the Southern Wei side.
Yongan and Yuan Xing walked over, with solemn expressions: "The subordinates implore the princess to leave here quickly, it is not safe here, and the subordinates are worried that there will be another incident." Yuan Xing was a little anxious, he didn't want Luo Qingluan to always be in dire straits.
"Yes, princess, we should go back to Xichu as soon as possible now, and then find out the situation of this matter." Yongan immediately chimed in.
After thinking about it, Luo Qingluan did not agree with the proposal of the two of them.
There are only a handful of forces that can send such a killer, but who is it against her?
Luo Qingluan shook his head: "No, I don't think so, most of the masterminds behind the scenes this time were done by the Southern Wei Dynasty, and I don't want to go back to Xichu in a vague way, since I have to deal with things before I go back, I can rest assured." ”
Yongan and Yuan Xing nodded, since Luo Qingluan insisted on finding out the mastermind behind this time, the two of them were powerless to refute, so they could only hold a supportive attitude.
"Since this decision has been made, we will temporarily stay in the front town tonight, and the next day I will not only not leave, but will return to Southern Wei." Luo Qingluan said resolutely.
With that, they set off for the town ahead, stayed for the night, and set out tomorrow.
It took them a few hours to find an inn, and Yuan Xing asked the shopkeeper directly, "Shopkeeper, is there still a room, we need three rooms, thank you." ”
The innkeeper only laughed softly, "Okay." Sir. ”
Yuan Xing paid the silver taels of the inn, and the three of them washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
Luo Qingluan couldn't sleep at night, thinking all night about who was behind today's incident, why he killed her, and why......
There are too many doubts in my heart, but I can only go back to the capital of Southern Wei tomorrow to solve these doubts.
After a night of silence, the sun rose, and the sunlight shone into the windows of each room, with a warm gold, completely different from yesterday's battle. Luo Qingluan hadn't slept much all night, and he was somewhat out of energy.
Yuan Xing and Yongan had already prepared everything, and after washing and eating in the morning, Luo Qingluan and his party got into the carriage and soon returned to the capital of Southern Wei.
When he arrived at the gate of the capital of the Southern Wei Dynasty, Luo Qingluan ordered: "Let's not go to the Dark Night Hall to divide the rudder and find another place to live." ”
The two were a little puzzled, and Yongan asked inexplicably, "Princess, where are we going?"
Luo Qingluan replied, "Just go find an ordinary inn to live in." ”
Even if they didn't understand Luo Qingluan's purpose for doing this, they believed in Luo Qingluan and did it. A place called Ruyi Inn looks good, Luo Qingluan got out of the car, and the group just walked to the door of the inn, Xiao Er came out to greet him as always.
Xiao Er grinned and said with a bright smile: "A few guest officers, what do you need, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
"Accommodation." Yongan said lightly.
"Okay! Guest officer, please. After Xiao Er finished speaking, he led a few people to the counter, and a middle-aged shopkeeper stood in front of the counter.
"We need a whole backyard, all covered." Luo Qingluan said lightly.
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded hurriedly, becoming more and more attentive.
"By the way, shopkeeper, has anything major happened in Southern Wei recently?" Yong Anxin moved and asked.
The shopkeeper smiled: "How can there be any big event, isn't it that Your Majesty is going to be the queen, but this has nothing to do with us ordinary people, at most it is just a matter of excitement." At that time, there may be an amnesty for the world, and maybe I can reduce the tax on my small shop, and that's all there is to it. ”
Lin Yixuan wants to stand up?
Yongan nodded and didn't ask any more.
"Guest, this is the backyard of our inn, in this case, you can stay, and no one will disturb you. Call us if you need it, and we'll be there right away. Xiao Er took Luo Qingluan and the others to the backyard and greeted them politely.
The backyard is quite good, quiet and pleasant, Luo Qingluan saw that Xiao Er was gone, and before entering the room, he ordered, "You must be careful tonight, maybe there will be a sneak attack." ”
"Okay." Yuan Xing Yongan frowned, glanced at each other, and replied in unison.
"In that case, you should rest in your room first, or take a stroll in this backyard, after all, it should be safe during the day now, and you should pay more attention to it at night." Luo Qingluan was rarely in a good mood to be able to say these words.
The environment of this backyard is really not bad, there are just four rooms in the backyard, and there is a rockery fountain in the middle of the backyard, in which some flowers grow in the water, which seems so vibrant at this time.
"Hmm...... By the way, at night, the three of us must light the incense, I have a pill here, remember to eat it for a while, and I won't faint by the incense. Luo Qingluan added again and sent the prepared pills down.
"Yes." Yuan Xing Yongan responded together and distributed the pills to the other two guards.
Afterwards, everyone went back to their respective rooms to rest, Luo Qingluan didn't sleep all night, and quickly went to bed, with Yong'an and them guarding outside, at least it was safe during the day.
Yongan and the others made rounds for a while, and the first thing they did when they returned to the room was to light the incense, waiting for the "guests" who could appear at any time.
Several people have a deep premonition that tonight, it shouldn't be so ordinary.
The night is getting darker, and the night is coming.
The later the time came, the more they could not sleep, and soon there was a sound of rustling, and in the silence of the night, they could vaguely feel that there were people in the house, and there was more than one person, and the light work was also excellent.
Fortunately, Luo Qingluan had been prepared and lit incense in the room in advance, and the light and tasteless smoke filled every corner of the room. She hid in the shadows and waited quietly.
Sure enough, in a moment, the door opened quietly.
The two men in black sneaked in, their long swords already unsheathed, as if they might strike at any moment. But before he could take a few steps, his body began to become unstable, and before he was born, he immediately fainted.
