Chapter 38 Dead Corpse

On October 6, Shangji City was cool in autumn, and the fallen leaves shook all over the city.

The second prince loves lotus flowers, so he specially dug a lotus pond in his mansion in Shangji City and transplanted a person to hold thick weeping willows. In summer, the lotus flowers bloom at the tip of the lotus leaves, the dragonfly stops, and the green willows become ant, which is very cool and comfortable. However, in autumn, the lotus pond in the courtyard was dilapidated and scattered, and the willow leaves fell all over the ground, which looked particularly bleak and decadent.

However, at this time, the second prince's mood was more miserable than the dilapidated lotus leaves in the courtyard. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were as cold as knives. A ghost scout knelt in front of him and said tremblingly, "Your Highness, two more scouts are missing..."

"How many is this?" The second prince said indifferently.

"Two scouts have disappeared every day in recent days, and a total of six people are missing!" The scout knelt more and more, trying not to make his voice tremble.

"Ha ha, that's right, only six are missing!" The second prince said with a smile.

The scout kneeling on the ground became more and more trembling and followed the second prince for many years. He knew that this yin and fierce prince had a fickle temperament. He would rather lose his temper directly than be so worried.

"Princess Ningzheng left the palace and sent two ghost scouts to secretly follow the protection. As soon as she arrived in Shangji City, she was killed and tied a stone and sank into Jiaxiu Lake. On the evening of October 1, more than 20 people were killed and escaped. Now two people have disappeared every day for three consecutive days, and ten ghosts have been lost in a month. Fortunately, you are still the elite cultivated by the Huangfu family at a high price!" The second prince put his hands behind his back and sneered on his angular face.

"Your Highness, I will send someone to investigate--"

Before he finished his words, the second prince suddenly kicked up and put it on the face of the black-clothed scout without warning. The scout turned twice in the air and fell to the ground. He couldn't move like a heavy sack. The scout spit out his teeth mixed with blood and wanted to kneel again. Before struggling to get up, the second prince stepped on his head and ran over him fiercely. The waiter's face was buried by the lotus pond full of fine gravel and sobbed in a low voice.

The second prince's face was gloomy, "The status of the ghost department is getting higher and higher now, but it is getting more and more and more tired. You are the elite troops subordinate to the prince. In the future, you are the only pawns available to the prince. Now like the ghost department, it should really put you into the bitter border!"

While talking, the force under his feet was a little bigger.

After crushing for a long time and taking back his feet, the scout's face lay on the ground, and a pool of blood stained the gravel red, which was shocking. He was so shaken that he stood up, hit his abdomen again, stumbled and flew out, stopped his waist against the old willow, and collapsed to the ground.

"Your Highness, it is the ghost department's dereliction of duty, and he is willing to be punished!" The scout stood up and knelt down again, with his forehead close to the ground.

"To see people in life, to see corpses in death, check! It's impossible to die so that you can't even find the body. Shangji City wants to find out who did it!" The second prince said fiercely, and his green eyes were fierce, like an angry wolf.

Kill two people every day, no more or no less, and even the corpse can't be found in the capital. This is obviously a majesty that provokes him. How many people in Shangji City have this courage? Dare to anger the second prince of the empire who is expected to sit in the dragon chair? Even looking at the whole Fanyang, how many people dare to be so presumptuous? Such a disbellious royal prestige?

The first murderer reacted by the second prince was Li Qingqi's Cang navy. That day, he looked for Ning Zhengshi and humiliated the big dil who claimed to be a romantic monopoly in the Tianyuan Accord. Later, when he besieged the prey on the night of October 1, he came to the Cang navy. Chasing him is as awkward as a dog. Thinking about it this way, Li Qing Qiu may be the most likely. It's just that the ghost department is scouting to catch the eagle dog that monitored Li Qingqi, and there is no possibility of such a mistake.

He bent down and slowly withdrew after being scoldered and did not dare to stay any longer. In the eyes of the second prince, if it is useless to do things all the time, it is a dispensable abandoned son. He knows how to deal with the abandoned son. Indeed, the ghost department has been quite unfavorable in the past month. Shangji City* has eagles and eagles that can't let go of their hands and feet, but the second prince will not ask these reasons. In His Highness's eyes, these are all excuses!

Two ghosts are abcroached every day. No matter what means the enemy uses, the ghosts are inferior. They are not as good as others to find excuses. Defending the second prince is tantamount to confessing that they are useless - die faster!

Some people will say that the second prince is too strict with his subordinates, but the second prince, as an example, has higher requirements for himself, meticulous in everything, and can't tolerate any difference.

So this ghost scout is willing to be punished without resentment.

When he retreated, the second prince stood alone, looked at the dilapidated lotus pond in the courtyard, and sneered, "Is that all you have? If you only dare to kill my men, don't you have the courage to point the tip of the knife at my heart? Do you dare to stand here and let you kill?"

The autumn wind blew, and the courtyard was gloomy and cold. The water surface of the lotus pond is full of ripples, dozens of koi unexpectedly float out of the water to spit bubbles, and the turtles hidden in the depths of the pool actually emerge. Shouldn't these pond creatures hide in the mud at the bottom of the water to keep warm for the winter in autumn?

The second prince frowned gently, and the strange things were gone.

As if he suddenly remembered something, his body shook, pulled off the big heel covering his body, walked towards the lotus pond, stood by the pond and plunged into the water. The guard outside the courtyard came from the samurai heard the sound, and only saw a bright yellow python robe disappearing on the surface of the water in an instant.

"Your Highness--" The scout shouted and ran towards the pond like the wind.

The water in the lotus pond in autumn is cold, not cold, but only the coldness that penetrates into the skin. There is more than one person in the lotus pond. At the beginning of digging this lotus pond, the craftsman said that the depth of the water is spiritual, with water as the scenery, living water as the best, and deliberately deep and far away can be magnificent.

Therefore, the seemingly small pond in this courtyard has more than one person deep, and the deepest part can bury the top of two people.

The second prince's chest and abdomen are full of breath, and his body is like a living fish. He swims in the pool. His green eyes are bright, and a black-haired magic flame is wrapped around him, like a water ghost.

He dived directly into the deepest bottom of the pond and really saw several bodies in black, all with stones pressed on their chests to prevent the bodies from soaking in water and swelling and floating.

The anger in my heart is even more, roughly counting, no less exactly six bodies. The emotional enemy killed his scout for three consecutive days and sank to the bottom of the lake? Nearly 100 warriors in the whole mansion were unaware of it?

The scenery seen underwater were all with hazy phantoms. The faces of these dead scouts were reflected by the twisting water waves as if they were smiling at him, which was frighteningly.

He surfaced, and his golden python robe was soaked and stuck to his body. His dark hair was dripping with water. Several of them also tripped into the pond to rescue His Highness did not dare to act rashly and waited for the prince's order.

"Go down and fish up the bodies in the water... The brothers killed these days have been found!" The second prince looked bad, so he left this sentence coldly and went back to change his clean clothes.

I was terrmented and hurriedly followed the instructions.

In this case, it is natural for the second prince to be so disappointed with the ghost department known as the elite scout. He was killed silently at his door, and the body was sunk to the bottom of the water. Just under the eyes of the second prince, under the eyelids of so many so-called elite scouts, wouldn't it be believed that those who came want to kill the second prince? Hand in hand?

Is the enemy a super first-class killer who is more proficient in hiding than the ghost scouts?

There are few people who have the same skills as Fanyang. Thirty years ago, Fengque, who was once famous, was counted, but the remnants were killed by the army led by General Yan of the Imperial Palace more than 20 years ago, and there has been no news.

In that battle, General Yan's command waited for two lives for the Fengque killer. Thousands of troops besieged him, and the scouts fought against the killers. Although the momentum was not as magnificent as that of thousands of troops and horses, it was even more tragic and condensed.

General Yu Dianyan said bluntly that if there are 20,000 such capable killers, even if they abandon all their troops and hold them firmly in their hands, they will make no profit.

It's just that the cost of training a killer is too high. If you fold one, you have to choose the right person from hundreds of teenagers. It is impossible to cultivate, hide, store energy, lurk, camouflage, body, flexibility, assassination, poison and interpretation from an early age.

Is it possible that this time it is really the remnants of a certain Fengque that have come to the royal family to settle old debts after more than 20 years?

The dead scout at the bottom of the pond was fished up, and his body was soft, as if his bones were broken. A scout wanted to pick up the dead robe horizontally, but found that the body's waist was as soft and tortuous as a boneless, sliding directly out of his arms and falling to the ground.

Six bodies were lined up, two of which ran for three consecutive days. Their faces were gray and blue, their lips were blue, and their bodies were swollen. After careful examination of the cause of death, they were actually broken bones, and there was nothing intact. The scouts looked at each other in amazed and couldn't speak!

It's the same as the two scouts who were sunk into Jiaxiu Lake a few days ago.

The ghost scout is by no means weak, and he still dies so ugly. What is the identity of the opponent? Can you easily kill six ghosts and quietly sink the body into the pond?

Inexplicable fear came to my mind.

The second prince, who changed his clean robe, came out, looked at the six bodies on the ground coldly, squatted down to open the eyes of the deceased and observed carefully, without hesitation!

The royal family, who claims to be righteous, has always avoided gloomy things such as violent deaths. The second prince who can reach out and touch the body at all makes these blind scouts feel more admirable and warm.

"The bones were broken all over, and they were broken by abruptly. With such strength, I really can't think of who Fanyang has such skills among the martial artists recorded in the household department. If it is said that it was done by the spy of the Cang Navy, I don't believe that there are such strange people under Li Qingyu..." The second prince stood up with a blank face.
