He curled his lips sarcastically, "By that time, I guess even my life won't be enough to satisfy his appetite."
Gu Xiuyi was right. This was exactly what Qi Yixuan had in mind from the beginning to the end.
After all, who doesn't know the new and old grudges between Qianhan Kingdom and the General's Mansion?
Gu Xiuyi had received the second prince, who later died. Naturally, the title of murderer fell on Gu Xiuyi first, and the crime of murdering the prince naturally fell on the head of the General's Mansion.
"This blood room sign is both easy and difficult to resolve." Gu Lingze said with a frown.
"What do you mean?"
"To resolve the evil, we must find the murderer who killed this dancer."
"Then this person must not be Cheng Jiao." Zhao Chengmo said with his head tilted.
Gu Lingze smiled slightly, "That's right, to plant this evil, the murderer must have had a close relationship with the dancer. Only in this way can the deceased have a deep grudge."
"Qi Yixuan and Cheng Jiao are not stupid, especially Cheng Jiao. Once this is done, he will definitely cut the grass and wipe out the roots. Killing the witness is one thing, but once this person dies, the blood sacrifice will be completed, and Qin Zhantian will die instantly."
Although Qin Zhantian is in great pain now, he is still alive, which means that something went wrong.
Gu Xiuyi was about to speak when Zhao Chengmo made a gesture, and the two of them changed the subject and talked about Qin Zhantian's "condition".
Less than a moment later, a voice came from outside the door. It turned out that the body had been sewn up and they were asked to come in.
The three of them returned to Qin Zhantian's residence. The commander of the guards was slumped at the door, his face swollen like a pig's head and an expression of despair on his face.
Seeing the three people coming, he struggled to stand up, but in the end it was in vain.
The commander of the guards was so sad that he could not even cry. It was not that he was weak or cowardly. In order to protect his master, killing a person might not be much more difficult for him than cutting a watermelon. However, sewing piles of corpses into the skin was simply not something a human could do.
He vomited out everything that could be vomited in his stomach, and he couldn't even count how many times he punched himself. Only then did he finish what Gu Lingze had asked him to do before he passed out.
"Okay, just sit down." After Gu Xiuyi finished speaking, the three of them walked in.
The sewn body had been brought over, and everyone present kept their distance from it.
Gu Lingze went forward to take a look. The sewing was done quite well. At least the limbs and torso were not dislocated.
"Someone come and carry the body to the bed." Gu Lingze said calmly.
The envoy doubted his own ears at this moment, so he asked again, "Which bed?"
"How many beds are there in this room?"
After hearing his words, everyone else couldn't help but be thankful that the Second Prince was still unconscious, otherwise who knows what the stalemate would have been like.
The two guards, with pale faces, carried the corpse onto the bed and placed it together with Qin Zhantian. The leader of the guards outside the door made retching sounds again and ran to the side to vomit.
"General Gu, since you are going to catch the murderer, I will stay here to treat His Royal Highness the Prince." Gu Lingze said.
Gu Xiuyi nodded and said, "I will leave this guard here to protect your safety." The guard was of course Zhao Chengmo.
"Thank you, General Gu."
After Gu Xiuyi took his men away, Gu Lingze sat down beside the bed and checked the wounds of the female corpse again. Suddenly, the temperature around them became cold and the female corpse began to swell up.
Gu Lingze grabbed the female corpse's neck and pressed her hard on the bed. Turning around, he saw that everyone except Zhao Chengmo was standing there like clay sculptures with their mouths wide open.
Gu Lingze immediately shouted, "Hurry up and leave!" Everyone scrambled towards the door, only Zhao Chengmo stayed behind.
At the moment the door was closed, the envoy looked back and saw that the female corpse had opened her eyes and was smiling at Gu Lingze. His eyes rolled back and he fainted from fright.
"Cheng Mo, give me the giant clam on your waist."
Zhao Chengmo immediately broke the knot and handed it over, but Gu Lingze did not take it. He bit his fingertips and dripped blood on it, and then asked Zhao Chengmo to slap the giant clam into the mouth of the female corpse, and the female corpse stopped moving.
The hand that Gu Lingze had pinched the female corpse's neck with was already covered with a layer of black air. He took out cinnabar from his sleeve and sprinkled it on the corpse's forehead before releasing his hand.
"Your hand..." Zhao Chengmo frowned and was about to touch it, but Gu Lingze gently called out to him not to move.
He shook out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve and stuck it on his hand. Soon the black air turned into smoke and disappeared.
"It seems that Cheng Jiao has already started to take action. Qin Zhantian is in danger."
As for Gu Xiuyi, he and Dai Zhengqi were looking for people separately. Dai Zhengqi kept a close eye on the movements in Qi Yixuan's mansion, and he turned around and went to Yunbin Tower.
It seems that the news from Siyi Pavilion has not yet reached here. It is night time and Yunbin Tower is bustling with people coming and going.
"This young man looks unfamiliar. I guess this is his first time visiting our Yunbin Tower." Seeing that Gu Xiuyi had an extraordinary demeanor and was dressed luxuriously, the madam naturally greeted him warmly.
"I heard that a group of dancers came here, and each of them is outstanding in appearance." Gu Xiuyi didn't look at the madam, but casually looked around every corner of Yunbin Tower.
"Oh, sir, you are really well-informed. Our dancers are carefully selected and sent all the way from Yangzhou to the capital."
At this point, the madam pretended to be mysterious and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, saying, "Even the prince of Qianhan Kingdom, who had just arrived in the capital, got the news and was summoned to the mansion the day before the listing."
The madam came too close, and the thick smell of powder on her body gave Gu Xiuyi a headache. Seeing him frown, the madam thought he was dissatisfied, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir, the people have returned, and only one of them is left there to serve."
Gu Xiuyi opened the fan and waved it in front of him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "For someone to be favored by His Royal Highness, she must be very beautiful. What's the name of the dancer?"
Seeing that he seemed interested, the madam hurriedly brought them inside.
"Sir, are you going to the elegant pavilion or just sit in this hall?"
The consumption in Yage is different from that in the hall. The price of drinks alone is several times different. Of course, the girls serving in Yage are also more beautiful.
Gu Xiuyi didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the elegant pavilion upstairs. The madam was so happy that she quickly asked the pimp to lead the guest to the most expensive place.
Once inside, Gu Xiuyi seemed impatient and asked the madam to bring up all the dancers. The servant who followed him waved the silver bills in his hand, and the madam hurried out to make arrangements.
After a while, the madam came in with five or six women in gauze, all of them had graceful figures and beautiful looks.
"My servant greets you, sir." Several people bowed gently, which made their beautiful faces more attractive.
