Chapter 245: Investigating the Murderer
There are only a handful of people who have grudges against her now. One of them is Shangguan Ying, who has a mental problem and has been hostile to her since they met. It is their natural incompatibility and the five elements are incompatible.
One was Lin Wan'er, jealous of her beauty and venting her anger on Shangguan Ying's behalf. But she had been punished, and she must have been unable to even leave the bed. Even so, she still found someone to do it to her. She was quite cruel!
Another possibility is that Simon was the envoy. Simon was defeated and took the opportunity to come to the Great Zhou to pay tribute and apologize to kill her. This way, he would have taken revenge and the Great Zhou would be at their mercy in the future. This is the most likely possibility.
The last one is Meng Guoxuan Yuhao. The reason why she considered him last is that her intuition told her that man would not attack her, at least not for the time being.
Because there was curiosity and enthusiasm for her in his eyes, and it was obvious that he wanted to monopolize her achievements, without the sinister intention of destroying them.
Bai Li knew that everyone outside must be frantically looking for her, including her subordinates like Wu Lanzhi, the emperor's men, and of course, enemies.
They certainly won't give up until they see her body.
There was a black shadow on the poisoned part of her hand. The poison was extremely powerful. If Golden Hair hadn't poured water from the stream in the space on her, she might have died.
Although there was an antidote in the space, she was unconscious at that time and definitely could not detoxify herself.
At this point, she felt that the space was changing so fast that she couldn't recognize it anymore.
Not only has the area become larger, but there is also a clear stream and a lush forest.
When the golden retriever led her to find the stream, she was almost stunned by its beauty!
At the edge of the lush green grass, a winding stream meanders along the grass. The stream gurgles and the water tinkles. Various small fish and shrimps jump and roll on the water surface from time to time. The red, yellow, pink and purple flowers by the stream compete for beauty, attracting butterflies dancing and frogs croaking.
Take a handful of stream water, it is cool and clear, bend down and take a sip, it is sweet and clear, sweeter than any mineral water!
Looking up, the sky is clear, with white clouds and blue sky. What a beautiful countryside landscape painting!
Unfortunately, the road on the other side of the forest has not been opened yet. It seems that the forest is blocked by a barrier and she cannot get through no matter how hard she tries.
She simply found a large rock to sit on by the stream, rolled up her trouser legs, and dipped her tender white feet into the stream, letting the fish and shrimp play and chase between her toes. The refreshing coolness spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body. She sighed comfortably, "It's so beautiful here! I want to live here and never leave!"
The golden retriever was catching butterflies nearby. Bai Li scooped up water with one hand and splashed it at the retriever. The golden retriever howled and ran away, then came closer again after a while.
Bai Li splashed water again, and Jinmao ran again. The man and the monkey had a lot of fun.
While playing, she recalled the changes in space. It seemed that the space changed every time she defeated an enemy. No, it upgraded.
The space was upgraded three times in total, and she also fought three major battles in total.
Could it be that she could only level up if she won the battle?
The forests haven't been opened yet, so she's not asked to start a war and continue the fighting, is she?
If that's the case, she would rather the space remain the same than fight.
Because war is really too costly and too many people are killed and injured!
She would only fight back if the enemy attacked.
Is there any country that is not afraid of death and dares to covet the fat piece of meat of the Great Zhou?
Bai Li placed her suspicion on Messenger Simon. She always felt that Messenger Simon was not here to sincerely apologize or make amends, but rather to find out the truth.
But I'm not afraid of them no matter what. At worst, we can just fight another battle.
She just didn't believe it. Simon had at most a million soldiers, and 200,000 of them had already been killed. How many more 200,000 would come up to die!
The Mongols have been watching from the sidelines. When the Great Zhou defeated the enemy with fewer troops and became famous, I believe they would not be so stupid as to send their heads to the Great Zhou.
Laos was also severely damaged. Apart from these ambitious big countries, other small countries smaller than the Great Zhou Dynasty are not a concern.
No matter how beautiful the space is, Bai Li will get tired of it after playing there for two or three days.
She misses her father, mother, grandmother and family!
If she doesn't go out, the news of her disappearance will probably spread to Qianxi. How sad her parents and grandmother will be!
Her father is leading people to dig for treasure. If she is too sad and accidentally makes a mistake...
Oh no, I can’t think about it anymore. I should go out and find someone to take revenge on!
Bai Li thought about her family's worries about her, but she never considered that two men were on the verge of madness because of her disappearance.
"Tell me, what did you do to Bai Li?"
On a dark and windy night, a masked man in black put a dagger against Shangguan Ying's neck and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Nangong?"
Shangguan Ying was scared at first, but when she calmed down, she heard a familiar voice.
This voice has been engraved in her bones, and she can still hear it even if it turns into ashes.
"Brother Nangong, you finally came to see me, but... in the middle of the night... a man and a woman alone... it's not in accordance with etiquette..."
Nangong Min was breathing heavily, he was angry.
He really didn't understand Shangguan Ying's train of thought. She was still thinking about all sorts of nonsense.
With a force from his hand, the dagger cut through the skin and blood beads appeared.
"Tell me! What did you do to Bai Li?"
"Ah! Brother Nangong, you hurt me, be gentler!"
What's going on?
This guy is mentally ill!
He gritted his teeth, suppressed the urge to strangle her, and changed his approach.
"What did you and Lin Wan'er do to Bai Li?!"
"Brother Nangong, it's rare for us to be in the same room together, why are you still mentioning that annoying name? She's already disappeared, so it's just right for us...ah!"
Before Shangguan Ying could finish her words, she was slapped in the face. The "slap" sound woke up Cui'er, the maid who was sleeping in the outer bed.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm just swatting mosquitoes!"
"Damn you! I didn't even notice the incense was burnt out! I'll light it right away!"
"No, no thanks, just go to sleep!"
"No, don't come in and disturb my sleep!"
When she mentioned the word "sleep", the red and swollen parts of Shangguan Ying's face turned bright red.
She raised her eyes and looked at the tall figure close at hand with affection, her face full of emotion.
Nangong Min couldn't stand it any longer, so he knocked her out with a knife, opened the window and jumped out.
On the opposite roof, Bai Li looked coldly at Nangong Min as he entered Shangguan Ying's boudoir. It was unknown what he said inside, and then he jumped out of the window angrily and left.
After thinking about it, she jumped off the roof from the other side and left quietly under the cover of night.
After she came out of the space, she surveyed the place where she met the woman. Although the site was damaged by countless footsteps, she still found clues in the grass.
The woman's body was not at the scene, but she found a few strands of her long hair in the grass, which were probably left when she was dragged.
A small blade of grass at the bottom of the bush hooked onto a wooden hairpin, and she recognized it at a glance as the ornament on the young woman's head.
