Chapter 867: Loyalty

Gu Juan said slowly, observing Su Mu's expression, and after a while, he suddenly said in a cold tone, "And you and Ling Guogong listened to it, not because the flower snake was a demon and wanted to kill the demon, but because you were trading with it and wanted to get some benefits from it...... Miss Su, do you think what I said is right?"

Su Muyin clenched his teeth and didn't say a word.

Swish!

A cold light silently streaked through the void.

Then there was a soft click, breaking the deathly silence in the courtyard.

There was an extra white jade-skinned, slender and small girl's hand on the ground.

Su Mu looked down at his broken wrist that was gurgling and bleeding, and was stunned for a moment before letting out a miserable cry of pain.

Gu Juan put away the blood-free axe, shook his head and said, "The hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the slender nephrite slices spring onions, and grows in the sleeves of fragrant cartoids, it is indeed a very eye-catching jade hand, but it's a pity." ”

"But again and again, not again and again, and that's the consequence of not telling me the truth all the time. ”

She clutched her broken wrist tightly, gritted her teeth, and said, "You, you said you would keep me safe." ”

"I said I would protect you from demons and monsters, but I didn't say that I wouldn't hurt you and kill you, understand?"

Gu Ju's gaze was calm, falling on her pale face, without a trace of emotion, "This time is just a small warning, if there is a next time, you really don't have to live." ”

"You'd better tell you what's going on here. ”

"That's the decree of the gods, it's the golden words of the heavens, even if I die......"

Suddenly, another cold light flashed.

blocked Su Mu's unfinished words in his throat.

She didn't have a chance to continue.

Blood gushed out of his mouth, and a thin red line appeared in the center of the slender and slender neck, and then the blood flowed down like a waterfall, quickly staining most of his clothes red.

Poof!

She lay limply on the cold ground, her skull rolling out some distance, just on the edge of a deep pit, next to the corpses, looking eerie and bloody.

"If you say it's death, then it's better to die. ”

Gu Juan looked at the three-story small building not far away with an expressionless face, and exhaled lightly a turbid breath, "Judging from these rune lines, maybe you can find the answer you want in this study." ”

He took a few steps forward, and then looked back at Ji Yunbao and the old housekeeper who were kneeling on the ground, "Master Ji, you come with me." ”

"As for this loyal butler, let him continue to be loyal and go down to serve Miss Su. ”

Click!

A spear tip pierced through the butler's back, and then drilled out from the front of the chest, and a certain black-armored man of one of the seven samurai looked blank, slowly pulled out the big gun with the thickness of the cup, and looked down at the butler falling to the ground softly, and then raised his heel to the back.

Xu Dingbian in the distance was stunned and cold, and he didn't really come back from the dazed fear until he was grabbed by the seven warriors who were getting taller and taller and left.

When I opened the door, a strong smell of book and ink came to my face, and it was empty, dark and silent, as if I had entered a different world in an instant.

There are not too many books stored on the first floor of the library building, only two rows of bookshelves stand there, nearly half of the space is occupied by various weapons and armor, and the other half is a huge desk and the four treasures of the study, and there are many dead green plants against the wall, and on the innermost wall, there are full-body portraits of people, silently watching everything in the room.

Gu Juan frowned slightly, passed through the armor of the weapon, and continued to walk into the depths.

The portraits on the innermost wall were distorted in the darkness, silently staring at everything below, as if they were wary of every visitor who came in from the outside.

"Your father's study looks like a storehouse of all kinds of old things. Gu Ju's gaze fell on the portrait in the center, and he could tell that the armor he was wearing was not the standard shape of recent years, but the style of a long time ago.

Ji Yunbao hadn't recovered from what had just happened at this time, and said with a slight tremor in his voice, "This is Xiaguan's great-grandfather, who once followed His Majesty Taizu to conquer the east and west and pacify the world. ”

Gu Juan nodded, stayed here for a while, and then raised his feet and went up to the second floor.

This floor really has the appearance of a library cabinet, with rows of bookshelves neatly arranged, containing all kinds of books in different categories, and a faint damp and smoked fragrance fills it to prevent the books from becoming moldy or being eaten and destroyed by insects.

But nothing was found on the second floor, it was really just a study.

Continuing up the stairs from the second floor, they soon stood in front of a small door that was tightly locked.

Gu Juan lowered his head and carefully looked at this iron door, which was not big but quite heavy, and his eyes fell on the vicinity of its lock.

It can be seen that Ling Guogong must have opened and closed this small door often recently, otherwise there would not be some faint traces near the lock and handle.

"Do you have a key?" he asked, looking back.

Ji Yunbao shook his head, and looking at his expression, it seemed that he had never been to the front of the iron door on the third floor.

"Then I'll just open the lock, you go out first, let everyone leave this small building, I don't speak, no one comes close. Gu Juan said again, and then a cold light flashed, and the lock clicked and fell.

"Lord Wang, here, is this the source of the strange incident?" Ji Yunbao couldn't help but think of the corpse outside the building again, and then thought of some secret news from the palace, and his heart suddenly became cold.

Squeak......

The heavy iron door was pushed open by Gu Ju.

He glanced back at Ji Yunbao before entering, "I don't know if it's a strange incident, but if you decide to stay, it's just right for this king to explore the way ahead." ”

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......"

"Okay, for the sake of a lot of people dying in your family today, I won't be difficult for you for the time being, hurry up and get out of here, the farther away the better, do you hear clearly?"

"This place is a bit evil, so don't stay, take him outside and wait. ”

Behind the door is a library similar to the second floor, but it seems to be more than half the size.

To Gu Juan's surprise, there was light in the small library on the third floor.

There is a small light at the junction of each of the four roof corners, and although the light is dim, it is a world away from the darkness of the first and second floors.

He entered the door, went straight to the nearest first shelf, pulled out a book, flipped through it at a quantum reading speed, and put it back on the shelf.

Then came the second book.

Until he had gone through all the layers of books on the first shelf, Gu Juan had not found anything that could arouse his interest.

He then went to the second bookshelf further aback.

From top to bottom, from left to right.

At the same time, the ugly dog was pulled out of his arms by him, and he and Xiang Wei scanned and flipped through the books on the shelves.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Juan put a book of poems and songs back into the bookshelf, and took a few steps back to look at the library as a whole.

Could it be that he was wrong, there was actually no problem here, or that there was no problem in the Lingguo Mansion in the first place, and the root of this suspected incident would fall in other places that had not been discovered?

After a moment of thought, he went to the innermost bookshelf again, and his eyes fell on a row of black scrolls.
