A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1219
[Chapter 1209 Scapegoat]
The cold night was bleak, the four fields were vast, and the north wind blew through the night, scratching on the face like a knife.
Ximen Wuhen’s expression did not change, he gave a light “oh”, and said lightly, “Is this old man a bronze general?”
“God Hou is a great man, do you dare to do it?” Qi Ning also said indifferently.
Ximen Wuhen smiled slightly and said, “Didn’t you already find out that General Bronze is the third child? It is precisely because you caught the third child on the spot that he is still imprisoned in the Shenhou Mansion, why did you suddenly say that the old man is Bronze general?”
“The third senior brother is just a scapegoat.” Qi Ning sighed, “The third senior brother regards the god as his father, so he has made a huge sacrifice, not only does he not even want his reputation, he doesn’t even care about his own life. It
‘s over.”
Hong Mendao has been lurking in the Northern Han all the year round, and he doesn’t know anything about the case of the Bronze General that happened in the capital of Jianye. Hearing the conversation between the two at this time, he was quite at a loss.
But he knew the rules and knew that when he shouldn’t speak, he couldn’t say a word more.
Ximen Wuhen slightly raised his head and said, “So you are sure that the third brother must have been through it on his behalf?”
“Actually, I know that General Bronze’s martial arts are far from what the third senior brother can compare to.” Qi Ning said, “The third senior brother was arrested. On that day, I knew something was wrong. Before that time, General Bronze had not committed a crime for a long time, but General Bronze suddenly sneaked into my mansion and even killed a maid in my mansion, that maid The state of death, let me conclude that it was General Bronze.”
Ximen Wuhen did not change his expression and asked, “Why did General Bronze go to your mansion?”
“I couldn’t figure out why before.” Qi Ning sighed Said: “I always thought that he wanted to assassinate me, but now I finally understand that the target of the bronze general is not me, but the cold pearl.”
“The cold pearl?”
“Shen Hou himself said that the cold pearl is a panacea that can be met but not sought after.” Qi Ning stared at Ximen Wuhen’s eyes: “Maybe General Bronze is terminally ill and needs the cold pearl to cure the disease,
or maybe it’s another way. With his picture, it doesn’t matter what the reason is. The important thing is that he got the news and knew that the Youhan Pearl was in my hands, and that night he couldn’t wait any longer, so he sneaked into the Hou Mansion to do it, who knows An accident happened suddenly, and the disease suddenly flared up before I saw me.”
Ximen Wuhen murmured, “That’s really unfortunate.”
“It’s really unfortunate.” Qi Ning said: “In that case, there is only one The only way to ease the pain is to absorb the blood of people. He happened to meet the maid, so he took the maid in the woods, killed the maid and sucked her blood.”
Ximen Wuhen nodded and said, “General Bronze really likes it. Sucking human blood.”
“Originally, he could still move after the blood sucking and recovering, but his luck was really bad that night.” Qi Ning sighed: “The maid has a deep relationship with the ugly man in the house. When he was about to die, he made a cry. Although it was short, it was heard by the ugly man. The cry of others was nothing, but the ugly man might be familiar with the voice of the maid, so he was the first to follow the voice. , and General Bronze was approached as soon as he began to suck blood. He knew that once he was besieged by the people in the Hou Mansion, he might not be able to escape, so in desperation, he could only flee in a hurry, but the ugly man saw General Bronze kill him. The maid I like will naturally not let it go.”
On the night of the incident, Su Lan was killed, but the ugly man disappeared and could not be found anywhere. .
Ugly has an unparalleled speed, but also has a sense of smell that is beyond ordinary people, just like a hound, maybe he has already firmly remembered the breath of Bronze General that night.
“I don’t know if you still remember. After the Bronze General’s case, I specifically went to ask you for advice. We said at the time that the Bronze General is not an ordinary person. It is very likely that he is a general of the court.” Qi Ning said slowly: “And that person has always lived in the capital.”
Ximen Wuhen said: “I remember.”
“The goddess has a disease, but he has been hiding it.” Qi Ning said: “But paper can’t contain the fire after all, the goddess’s condition is getting more and more serious, and it can be concealed from outsiders. , but you can’t hide it from Zhan Ying, but you can’t explain too much to Zhan Ying. Although Zhan Ying has an impulsive temperament, she is not stupid. You know that the more you explain, the more troublesome it may be. But that time you had an attack, but I happened to meet you , you know that things are not good, you are not sure if I guessed something, but this matter is a trouble after all, after the incident in my mansion that night, you are even more worried that I will suspect you.”
Ximen Wuhen was silent for a while, and finally said: “You are a smart person, I believe that you had doubts about this old man at that time.”
“Yes, I do have doubts, but I am not sure, and I do not want to believe in the Imperial Council of Gods. It’s a blood-sucking devil.” Qi Ning smiled bitterly: “But in order to clear your suspicions, you immediately came up with a way to find a scapegoat to replace you, and
the
third senior brother became a tool for you to use.”
The general didn’t know anything about the case, but when he heard the conversation between the two, he already understood a bit in his heart, and there was a look of astonishment in his eyes, but it flashed by, bowed his head, and said nothing.
“That day, Zhan Ying and I went to the Shenhou Mansion to see the brothers and sisters. The third brother arrived late. The most surprising thing was that he suddenly fell to the ground at the dinner table.” Qi Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Of course all this is true. Third Senior Brother deliberately wanted to show it to me. He knew that if he did so, I would definitely suspect him, and this was exactly the purpose of God waiting for you and Third Senior Brother, so I stayed outside Third Senior Brother’s house that day. Let’s see what happens next.”
“As expected of the man Zhan Ying likes.” Ximen Wuhen raised his hand and stroked his beard: “You really are not stupid.”
“Senior Brother Three really acted that night and was caught by us. Qi Ning said: “I don’t know if the second senior was instructed by the gods to act in this scene with you, or it was just a coincidence that night. Hou Mansion, so the third senior brother naturally became that blood-sucking devil, and the goddess is naturally innocent.”
Ximen Wuhen laughed and said: “That’s right, it’s justified, this old man is really impressed with you.”
“Master, in fact, I never believed that you were the bronze general.” Qi Ning looked solemn and said slowly, “Until today. , the ugly man followed you to the northwest, and…!” He raised his finger and pointed to the sheepskin bag on the ground not far away: “And that thing finally made me understand the cause and effect of the incident.”
” Oh?”
“The sheepskin bag is filled with human blood.” Qi Ning said, “If I’m not mistaken, the gods have killed innocent people indiscriminately in the past two days. The blood has been collected and stored, and I’m worried that the disease will develop in the middle.”
Hong Mendao raised his head in surprise and said in surprise: “God, then…isn’t that goat blood in the bag?”
Ximen Wuhen didn’t even look at Hong Mendao, and said coldly, “Qining, even if you know it now, What can I do? Yes, the old man is the Bronze General, and the capital blood-sucking case is exactly what this old man did.”
“It’s no wonder that the Bronze General case never came to fruition.” Qi Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly: “The God of Marquis Mansion It is the real culprit behind the scenes, but let the people of the Shenhou Mansion investigate the case, even after a thousand years of investigation, how can they find out the results?” After a pause, he said, “The Shenhou will take me this time. Going to Daxue Mountain, but you want Dharma King Zuri to diagnose and treat your illness? I took the Netherfrost Pearl, and you took me hostage and handed it over to Dharma King Zuri, hoping to please Dharma King Zuri, am I right?”
Ximen Wuhen Just sneered and didn’t explain.
“Actually, this is really not necessary for the gods.” Qi Ning said: “As far as I know, there are two great doctors in the world, Dongmiao and Xili, both of them are very skilled in medicine. If you want to treat a disease, you should find these two talents. Yes, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to find Dharma King Zuri?”
“You mean Miao Wuji and Duke Li Xi?” Ximen Wuhen said with a disdainful smile: “These two people are nothing more than proficient in pharmacology, the old man’s…hehe , they don’t have that kind of ability.”
Qi Ning frowned, even more suspicious.
Li Xigong is the medical envoy of the Black Lotus, and Miao Wuji is an old woman with a vicious heart. That Miao Wuji set a trap in the Ghost Bamboo Forest and wanted to use Qi Ning as a medicinal material. Island, but the medical skills of these two people are famous all over the world.
Tang Nuo was Li Xigong’s disciple, and his medical skills were already very good. Of course, Li Xigong’s medical skills were even more unpredictable. Although Miao Wuji was deceitful and sinister, he was as famous as Li Xigong, and his medical skills were of course. He was also extremely clever, but Ximen Wuhen was disdainful of these two masters of medicine and Taoism, and even claimed that these two were not capable of treating his disease, which really surprised Qi Ning.
If his guess is correct, Ximen Wuhen is taking him to Daxue Mountain to seek medical treatment, then isn’t the medical skill of Dharma King Zuri even more brilliant than Dongmiao and Xili?
“Don’t delay. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com” Ximen Wuhen just drank human blood, his complexion has already recovered, and the whole person looks quite energetic. , let’s go!”
Hong Mendao went over to pick up the sheepskin bag, quickly followed, and asked, “God, that ugly guy escaped, let’s…!”
“Leave him alone.” Ximen Wuhen sneered Said: “Before dawn, he died of anger. There are wolves in this area, and the corpse will soon be bitten off by the wolves. The ghost of the beast will not disappear. Today, let him really go underground and be a ghost.”
Qi Ning thought to himself.
The ugly man fled with injuries. At this time, he was shocked and angry when he heard what Ximen Wuhen said: “God, you…you killed him?”
“The old man’s heart-shattering palm is enough to make him My heart is bursting.” Ximen Wuhen said: “That beast has been following the old man, like a fly beside the old man, the old man killed a fly, why is it strange?” He walked towards the carriage, Qi Ning clenched his fists, Looking in the direction the ugly man fled from, the cold night was bleak, and everything he saw was pitch black, like the big mouth of a monster swallowing everything.
