"My lady, my lady, something big has happened!" A green-clothed sword maid rushed into a quiet room with a luminous pearl hanging from the ceiling. She instantly broke the silence of the quiet room and startled the master who was sitting cross-legged to open her eyes!
"How can you be so flustered? Could it be that the sky has collapsed? " She opened her eyes slightly and reprimanded the sword maid harshly. The sword maid was so shocked that she broke out in cold sweat. After she admitted her mistake, the woman who was sitting quietly said, "Tell me, what happened that made you so shocked?"
"My lady, he is dead. Bi Pengfei, Commandery Prince Ping, suddenly died!" Even though she was reprimanded by her master, the sword maid still spoke incoherently. Her expression was filled with disbelief.
"What?" The woman was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly stood up from the soft couch. Her calm expression instantly turned into shock and amazement. "When did this happen? How did he die?" The woman who suddenly stood up was none other than Liu Yaoguang!
"My lady, it happened two hours ago! Someone saw Bi Pengfei's bodyguard carrying a naked Commandery Prince Ping to the Second Prince's residence to ask for help! Along the way, he was drenched in blood and caused chaos in the city! However, according to those who saw it with their own eyes, Bi Pengfei was already dead before he was sent to the Second Prince's residence! "The sword maid said.
Liu Yaoguang calmed herself down and sorted out her thoughts. Then, she asked, "What is the cause of death? Also, how can you be sure that Bi Pengfei is really dead? "
"My lady, an hour ago, the crossbow troops and the black crossbow troops were all mobilized. They surrounded the Thousand Flavour Shop and a private house. They even sent out two Martial Revered Guards! The entire imperial capital is under martial law. People are allowed to enter but not leave. Even I was questioned when I came here. If a Commandery Prince had not died, why would there be such a big scene?
Moreover, when I passed by the Commandery Prince Ping's residence on my way here, I found that the Commandery Prince Ping's residence had already taken down some colorful items. There was a white cloth hanging at the entrance. The cries in the residence were deafening! "The sword maid said.
"Oh? If that was the case, then Bi Pengfei, Commandery Prince Ping, was really dead! No one would make a fuss about the life and death of a favored member of the royal family! Now that Bi Pengfei is dead, Xiaoyue can rest in peace! " Liu Yaoguang sighed and asked, "Little Xing, what about the cause of death? Did you find out?"
When she heard her master mention the death of her good sister, Xiao Xing, the sword maidservant's eyes turned red and she almost cried. When she heard her master ask for the reason, she gritted her teeth and said, "Young Miss, we don't know the exact cause of death. However, according to witnesses and rumors, Royal Prince Ping, Bi Pengfei, died because of impotence!"
"Dying from defecation? How is that possible? " Liu Yaoguang's pretty face was full of disbelief. "I would believe it if it was someone else who died from defecation, but Bi Pengfei cultivated that kind of secret technique. He wouldn't have died from defecation …"
"But Miss, someone saw it with their own eyes. The blood that Bi Pengfei spat out along the way was all sprayed by his … his … the root of the disaster! Moreover, it was said that the Second Prince's personal guards took away a woman from the Thousand Flavour Shop. A woman who was wrapped in a bedsheet! With these points combined, the theory that he died from defecation is true! "Little Xing said.
Liu Yaoguang was stunned and she didn't understand. Bi Pengfei cultivated a very tyrannical and despicable cultivation technique called the Dusty Handle Essence Refining Technique. It specialized in refining the essence of female martial artists and taking it for his own use! He would die in any way, but he wouldn't die from defecation!
Therefore, Liu Yaoguang couldn't understand and couldn't understand!
"Little Xing, do you think … he did it?" After being stunned for a while, Liu Yaoguang suddenly asked faintly.
Hearing this, the sword maidservant Little Xing was also at a loss. "Young Miss, I don't know!"
"Alright, you can leave now! Tell the servants to pack up and return to the Yaoguang Pavilion tomorrow! "Liu Yaoguang suddenly said.
"Return to the Yaoguang Pavilion? Young Miss wants to … Ah, I understand. I'll arrange it now! "Looking at Liu Yaoguang's cold gaze, the sword maidservant Little Xing hurriedly lowered her head and left.
Liu Yaoguang's mood couldn't calm down for a long time. Her mind was filled with the news of Bi Pengfei's death!
*****
It could only be said that Bi Pengfei was very unlucky! The sword maid, Xiao Xing, was right. Bi Pengfei, Commandery Prince Ping, had already died before his guards took him into the Second Prince's residence. The pitiful thing was that Bi Pengfei didn't even know that he was dead!
He couldn't understand how such a situation could happen with the Dusty Handle Essence Refining Technique that he cultivated. This was absolutely impossible, but it happened!
What was even more pitiful was that before he died, Bi Pengfei made a fool of himself! He was carried naked by the guards from the Thousand Flavour Shop to his father's mansion. During the journey, he made a fool of himself, especially the scene of his lower body spurting blood. It immediately spread throughout the entire Alkaid Empire like a gust of wind!
Of course, Bi Pengfei didn't care about making a fool of himself at that time. He was about to lose his life, so what was the point of saving his face? However, his father, the Second Prince, wanted to save his face.
When the Second Prince saw the appearance of his son, Bi Pengfei, he almost fainted from anger. If Bi Pengfei wasn't already dead, the Second Prince would have had the urge to whip Bi Pengfei a few hundred times. The Imperial Family's face had been completely lost by this guy!
Although they had lost all their face, this case still had to be investigated! This matter clearly showed that someone had attacked the Imperial Family. This was an absolutely unforgivable crime, and it was also the thing that made the Imperial Family furious the most!
Hence, the Second Prince reported this matter to the Imperial Guards and mounted scouts. They wouldn't rest until they found out the cause of Bi Pengfei's death. The implications of the death of a Imperial Family member were too great!
It had to be said that the people who were most afraid of death in this world weren't ordinary people or beggars, but the Imperial Family!
However, what made the Second Prince, who was in charge of the investigation, extremely angry was that this matter, other than capturing a naked woman, there wasn't any other result. Of course, there were many people who were captured. For example, the shopkeeper of the Thousand Flavour Shop, the waiters, and even Bi Pengfei's guards were all captured. However, they didn't manage to get anything out of them!
The answer that was obtained from that woman was somewhat unimaginable. There was a group of people who wanted to offer her to a Prince who was fond of some special things, in order to curry favor with that Prince. After finding her, they taught her a lot of things to please men. They even made her eat a type of medicinal pill that could make her body become more charming. After eating it for nine days, they sent her to the Thousand Flavour Shop.
Then, what awaited her was glory and wealth. Of course, before sending her, they had already sent a large amount of gold and silver to her family. Moreover, they also promised that after the matter was done, although she couldn't become a Princess, she would definitely become that Prince's concubine!
Moreover, that Prince named Bi Pengfei's father, which was the Second Prince, was very likely to ascend the throne. That Prince had a very high chance of becoming the Crown Prince. After that Prince Bi Pengfei's father died, Bi Pengfei, the Crown Prince, would become the Emperor. She, as a Princess, would not be able to escape the title of Princess. Glory and wealth …
After receiving this confession, the Second Prince almost exploded in anger. Fortunately, this matter was investigated by him. If this confession fell into the hands of others, who knew what kind of evil things would happen.
Helpless, the Second Prince could only capture people according to that woman's memories. However, when he arrived at the location that the woman mentioned, the building was empty. Not to mention the person, he couldn't even catch a strand of hair!
Then, something happened that made the Second Prince even more furious. The only witness in the case, which was the heroine, suddenly became mentally deranged. At the same time, the aphrodisiac attacked her heart. With these three factors combined, the Second Prince couldn't save the life of his only clue, no matter what he did!
At this point, the clues of Bi Pengfei's death, which had caused a sensation in the Imperial Capital's Brilliance City, were all cut off. Even if he wanted to investigate, there was no way to start investigating. After making a big fuss and sealing off the Imperial Capital for four to five days, the Cavalry Crossbow Troop and the Black Crossbow Troop almost turned the entire Imperial Capital upside down. They caught hundreds of spies and fugitives wanted by the Empire!
One must know that the Imperial Capital's Brilliance City lost millions of taels every day it was sealed off. Moreover, the travel of other nobles and merchants, including martial artists, was obstructed. The Imperial Capital slowly turned into a powder keg!
Helplessly, under pressure, the Second Prince could only casually find a dozen scapegoats. After beheading them in public, he returned to his residence with a bellyful of anger and a shameful face. There was nothing he could do about it. Dying from defecation was simply too dishonorable!
On the 11th of April, when the haze that shrouded the Imperial Capital's Brilliance City completely dissipated and the eight city gates were opened again, people began to rush in. It was also at this time that Ling Dong and Feng Xuelei, who were covered in dust, quietly returned to the Feng Residence!
When they returned, Feng Xuejiang was drinking alone. When he saw Ling Dong and his brother, Feng Xuejiang's first sentence was, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you!"
"Dying on top of a woman's belly is too easy for that bastard!" The welcoming banquet was very simple. In an empty pavilion, there was no one around. They could rest assured and talk to Wuji!
"He can be considered to have died a worthy death!" After drinking a mouthful of wine, Ling Dong breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, Liu Yaoguang's Imperial Star Ring was not far away from him. Ling Dong planned to wait for a while tomorrow and go find Liu Yaoguang according to the agreement. The most important thing was to get the Imperial Star Ring in his hands. He hoped that Liu Yaoguang would not play any tricks, otherwise …!
The moment Ling Dong opened his mouth, Feng Xuejiang's interest was piqued. "Brother Ling, how did you get rid of that guy? Or did you let that guy die by defecation? I really don't know! You have to know that Bi Pengfei's cultivation method is to absorb the essence of others. No matter how he died, he would not die by defecation! "
"Defecation? Giving a woman medicine to make a man die by defecation? I say, you are too cruel, aren't you? In the future, if you don't like us and casually give our women some medicine, won't we also die by defecation? Isn't this too terrible? "Feng Xuelei pretended to be frightened and said!
Hearing this, Ling Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you think that thing is suitable for everyone? That kind of medicine that can make a man die by defecation is only suitable for Bi Pengfei's body! If you want to defecate, it is impossible to rely on medicinal pills alone! Dying by defecation is even more impossible! "
"Why is that?" This time, it was the Feng brothers' turn to be curious. Feng Xuelei's words just now were not a joke. Feng Xuelei was really scared. Ling Dong's method was really amazing!
"Actually, this is related to Bi Pengfei's cultivation method! Old Jiang, if I'm not wrong, then Bi Pengfei should be cultivating a method called Dusty Handle Refining Essence Technique, right? "Ling Dong said!
"How do you know?" Old Jiang asked with a strange face. This information was only heard by him, Old Jiang, when he was hunting for Bi Pengfei. How many days has this Ling Dong been in the imperial capital?
"You don't need to know how I know. You only need to tell me if my guess is correct or not … "Looking at the shocked expression of the Feng brothers, Ling Dong shamelessly started to show off. To be able to make a Heavenly Dipper Realm expert so curious, he could be considered to have some ability …
In fact, the method to get rid of Bi Pengfei was something that Ling Dong came up with by accident!
When Ling Dong first came to the imperial capital, he found that Bi Pengfei had an extremely strange red shadow between his eyebrows. In Ling Dong's memory, this kind of sign would only appear after cultivating a special method called Dusty Handle Refining Essence Technique!
However, when he first met Bi Pengfei, Ling Dong wasn't sure. After all, there were many reasons for the red shadow between his eyebrows. It might not be caused by cultivating a special method!
However, when he was eating at the Thousand Flavour Restaurant, Ling Dong happened to see Bi Pengfei's henchmen drugging the beautiful master. From Feng Xuejiang, he found out that Bi Pengfei liked to capture women who had cultivated Gang Qi and play with them!
Every time he finished playing with them, those female martial artists who had cultivated Gang Qi would either be crippled or die. This made Ling Dong almost certain that Bi Pengfei had cultivated a tyrannical secret technique that allowed him to plunder the Yin energy of others.
This was because the normal secret technique would at most plunder a woman's Primordial Yin Qi. Even if it was to plunder a woman's Original Gang Qi, it had to be done slowly. In Ling Dong's memory, there was only one secret technique that could be so tyrannical that Bi Pengfei could cripple or kill a female martial artist overnight. It was called the Dusty Handle Refining Essence Technique!
In his previous life, this Dusty Handle Refining Essence Technique had caused a huge commotion. There was one person who had cultivated to the Heaven Star Border Realm in just thirty years using this secret technique!
After that person's cultivation had broken through to the Heaven Star Border Realm, not many people could restrain him. His plucking went from sneaky to forceful abduction. As his cultivation progressed rapidly, it also caused public anger in the world. This was because many disciples of famous sects were harmed by that guy!
At that time, the world's top Elixir King, Shi Po Dan, had a disciple's sister who was also harmed by that guy. He begged his master, Shi Po Dan, to avenge him!
At that time, Elixir King Shi Po Dan had also used the method that Ling Dong had used to make that woman die of Yang deficiency. For some reason, the pill formula slowly spread out. As an Elixir Master, Ling Dong naturally learned it. He didn't expect that it would come in handy now!
After confirming that Bi Pengfei was cultivating the Dusty Handle Refining Essence Technique, Ling Dong handed over the specific plan to Feng Xuejiang. After all, Feng Xuejiang was the most suitable person to do this thing because this woman was not easy to find!
With Feng Xuejiang's brothels all over the country, it didn't take two days for Feng Xuejiang to find a Xiantian Realm cultivator that Ling Dong had requested. She had a good appearance and was greedy for money!
After a series of temptations, the plan was carried out smoothly. After taking the Mysterious Leech Yang Pill that Ling Dong had specially refined for nine days, the woman was finally sent to Thousand Flavor House by Feng Xuejiang's people!
There was no accident. A Xiantian Realm female martial artist came to the notorious Thousand Flavor House and immediately attracted the attention of the shopkeeper. Bi Pengfei didn't hesitate to make a move and plucked her. Naturally, he fell into the trap!
Of course, if Bi Pengfei was just greedy and couldn't do it, then the matter of plucking and refining essence would be fine! That Mysterious Leech Yang Pill was specially used to subdue the Dusty Handle Refining Essence Technique!
After taking the Mysterious Leech Yang Pill, when the person who cultivated the Dusty Handle Refining Essence Technique refined the essence, the medicinal effect would be activated. The more he cultivated, the stronger the medicinal effect would be. By the time Bi Pengfei realized that something was wrong, it was already out of control!
Therefore, until his death, Bi Pengfei didn't understand what was going on! The others also didn't understand. This matter itself was inconceivable.
As for the matter of silencing the witnesses, including the matter of eliminating the clues, Ling Dong had carefully considered it and specially handed it over to Feng Xuejiang!
An impossible plot to murder a favored prince was completed in broad daylight just like that. Nothing was found, and the matter was left unsettled.
"F * ck, I've realized that whoever goes against Brother Ling will end up in a miserable state! This guy is too sinister! "After listening to Ling Dong's narration, the Feng brothers said in unison!
Hearing this, Ling Dong rolled his eyes and said, "I'm sinister. Without you, Old Jiang, can this matter be done? At most, I'm just moving my lips. You, Old Jiang 'er, are the ones who are truly brilliant! "
"Damn, who refined that Mysterious Leech Yang Pill? I found out that this alchemist really doesn't use a knife to kill people!" Feng Xuejiang said with emotion!
Feng Xuelei glared at Feng Xuejiang and scolded, "Isn't it your fortune to befriend an alchemist who doesn't use a knife to kill people? Perhaps the opportunity for you to break through to the Heaven Dipper Realm in the future should be on Brother Ling! "
"If I have the ability, I will go all out!" Looking at Feng Xuejiang's fervent eyes, Ling Dong said in a clear voice!
*****
After resting for a day in the Feng Residence, he didn't even go to see Zi Yao. In the afternoon of the second day, Ling Dong went out alone and went to the place where they agreed to meet to take the Imperial Star Ring — the Alkaid Stage!
Of course, just in case, Ling Dong purposely informed Feng Xue Lei to stay behind and not be too far away from him!
Ling Dong was so careful for a reason. As a guy who survived from conspiracies and intrigues, Ling Dong sometimes had a special intuition. Even now, Ling Dong felt that Liu Yaoguang asked him to kill Bi Pengfei in exchange for the Imperial Star Ring, which was unreasonable!
For example, not only did she want him to kill Bi Pengfei, but she also added a condition that he couldn't expose his identity! If he couldn't expose his identity, Ling Dong would definitely do this by all means. However, Liu Yaoguang's proposal was very strange!
Moreover, Liu Yaoguang swallowed the poison pill he gave without hesitation and was extremely cooperative to let him check it. This attitude made Ling Dong feel very strange. She even reminded him to control her. Ling Dong felt that such a woman, if she really wanted to deal with a man, would she need to find someone else?
This was also the reason why Ling Dong was so careful!
According to Feng Xuejiang, Liu Yaoguang's Yaoguang Pavilion had been inexplicably closed last time and there had been no movement! However, on the second day after Bi Pengfei's death, Liu Yaoguang's carriage once again drove into the Yaoguang Pavilion!
However, although Liu Yaoguang stayed in the Yaoguang Pavilion, she had no intention of reopening the Yaoguang Association. These days, she had rejected the invitations of many nobles!
Ling Dong had been to the Yaoguang Pavilion once before, so he was familiar with the place. After reporting his name, Ling Dong was invited by the steward of the Yaoguang Pavilion to drink tea. Naturally, they had to report it!
In an embroidery room on the third floor of the Yaoguang Pavilion, Liu Yaoguang, who was dressed splendidly, was standing by the window like a fairy. When she heard the footsteps behind her, Liu Yaoguang asked without turning her head, "Xiao Xing, is he here?"
"Miss, yes! He came alone! "The sword servant, Xiao Xing, replied!
"Mm, then let's act according to the plan! You personally handle it. The order can't be messed up. " Hearing Liu Yaoguang's order, the sword servant, Xiao Xing, was stunned. She asked in astonishment, "Miss, do we really have to do that? Do you want to confirm whether or not he was the one who did it? "
"Go and ask. Will he tell you the truth? Go quickly, Xiao Xing. Remember, don't give yourself away! "Liu Yaoguang instructed again.
The sword servant, Xiao Xing, complied and left. Liu Yaoguang sighed faintly, "Has this day finally arrived? The destined one, will you disappoint me …? "
In the main hall on the first floor of the Yaoguang Pavilion, Ling Dong was frowning because of the other party's strange request.
"Since your Miss knows that I'm here for the Yaoguang Bracelet, why does she have to go through the trouble of letting me bathe and change clothes?" Ling Dong was very puzzled by the sword servant, Xiao Xing's request to bathe and change clothes before going to see the Miss!
"Young Master Ling, that Yaoguang Bracelet is my Miss's ancestral treasure. In order to give it to you, Miss has already been bathing and fasting for three days! This ancestral treasure has changed owners. It shouldn't be too much to let Young Master Ling bathe and cleanse himself, right? "The sword servant, Xiao Xing, spoke to Ling Dong in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing!
Seeing that Ling Dong was still hesitating, the sword servant, Xiao Xing, rolled her eyes and said, "Could it be that Young Master Ling has some hidden illness or hobby? Is it inconvenient for you to bathe and change clothes with the help of the servants? Why don't you tell me? Even if you need a male servant, I can arrange one for you! "
"Hidden illness? Male servant? "Hearing Xiao Xing's words, Ling Dong's nose almost became crooked from anger. If he, Ling Dong, didn't go bathe and cleanse himself, then this little girl would think that he had a hidden illness or that he was a homosexual. How could he not be angry!
In his anger, Ling Dong hardened his heart. Wasn't it just a bath? What was there to be afraid of? If the other party really did something to the bath, would he not be able to find it?
"Let's go. You are still considered smart. Let's serve her!" Ling Dong, who was provoked, pretended to be angry and said.
He immediately went up to the second floor under Starry's lead and entered a place with fluttering white curtains. A few maidservants were sprinkling flowers into a clear and translucent bath that was emanating steam. The air was suffused with a faint fragrance of flowers, and it carried a refreshing fragrance that was unique to young women!
Although he agreed to bathe in a fit of anger, Ling Dong did not let his guard down. As the maids were undressing him, Ling Dong's nose sniffed with all his might. He even released a portion of his Spiritual Strength to check for traps in the surroundings!
What made Ling Dong surprised was that there was nothing strange about this place. It was a complete bathtub. The flowers sprinkled were also fragrant flowers commonly used in baths. The smell was very normal. There were no traps or ambushes!
After taking off his clothes, Little Star, who was only in his undergarments, waved the maidservants to the side and personally served Ling Dong into the bath. When he saw Ling Dong's body slide into the bath, the corners of Little Star's mouth suddenly revealed a trace of an imperceptible smile!
