One Piece: Guardian Star Chengyue

Because of this sudden news, Su Mujun and his group stopped one after another. Su Mujun raised his brows, and after a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, he curled his lips with unknown meaning.

"Are you sure you're right?" Su Muxu was horrified by the shocking news and looked at Wei Xiang in disbelief. He felt that everything happened too suddenly and had no sense of reality...

Feng Ye also glanced at Wei Xiang in surprise, then turned his attention to Su Mujun.

I don't know since when, he would always pay attention to Su Mujun's expression when facing any bizarre things. Even Feng Ye himself didn't notice this subconscious behavior.

In Feng Ye's heart, she had already unknowingly regarded Su Mujun as an omnipotent being. It seemed that there was nothing in this world that she didn't know about, no matter how weird it was...

Wei Xiang's face turned pale with a bit of pain and anxiety, and he looked at Su Mujun and Su Muxu with some worry, as if he was afraid that the two of them would not be able to accept it, but he had to report it, and nodded heavily.

"Young Master, how dare I make fun of this master's life? It was the personal guards around the eldest master who came to report it in person. At this time, others had already entered the palace. My wife fainted on the spot when she heard the news..."

Before Wei Xiang could finish speaking, Su Muxu hurriedly asked: "How is mother?"

Wei Xiang shook his head and said, "My servant asked the doctor to come over and send a message to the princess and the young master. The doctor should have been treating the lady by now."

Su Muxu's face was filled with worry. He turned to look at Su Mujun and said anxiously: "Sister, let's go see mother first?"

Su Mujun nodded and took the lead to leave without saying anything. Su Muxu and others followed closely behind, and a group of people hurried to Qingyun Garden.

When they arrived, the doctor had just finished checking Yao Huachang's pulse. Seeing Su Mujun and Su Muxu walk in, he quickly saluted them and said, "I have seen the princess and the young master."

Su Mujun nodded calmly and asked, "How is she?"

The doctor was startled because of the title in Mr. Su Mu's words. He was slightly confused and subconsciously turned his inquiring eyes on Mr. Su Mu.

Because Su Mujun had always been treated by the imperial doctors in the palace before when she was sick, the private doctors employed by the General Palace had almost no contact with Su Mujun after she woke up and had no idea about some of these things.

When he raised his eyes to investigate, he met a pair of unpredictable cat eyes. His heart suddenly trembled. The evil colors lingering in those eyes made his feet feel cold. He quickly lowered his eyes and replied timidly. .

"... Princess, Madam, she fainted because her blood surged due to a temporary stimulation. It's not serious. As long as Madam sniffs the snuff bottle to soothe her nerves, she will wake up."

"Let's do it." Su Mujun didn't care about the doctor's fear of her, and just gave the order calmly.

After hearing this, the doctor did not dare to raise his head to take a peek at Su Mujun. He felt that although the princess was calm and casual, she gave people an indescribable sense of oppression, which made people subconsciously afraid. He quickly took out the snuff bottle from the medicine box and put it to Yao Huachang's nose. After giving her a sniff, Yao Huachang woke up within a moment.

"Mother?" Su Muxu stepped forward and looked at Yao Huachang with some worry.

In fact, Su Muxu suddenly heard the news of Su Shiming's death. Although he was sad, he did not lose his mind and have a mental breakdown. After all, Su Shiming had been guarding the border for as long as he could remember, and he could not even go home as many times as one finger. , although he has full Confucian admiration and admiration for Su Shiming, his father, he does not have much affection between flesh and blood.

But my mother is different. My father and my mother have a deep relationship that will last until death. This can be seen from the fact that my father never takes concubines and only dotes on my mother. Now that something happened to my father suddenly, I am afraid that my mother will not be able to bear this painful blow...

Su Mujun stood there and did not approach the bed. His whole mood was so calm from beginning to end that it felt strange.

If everyone was too frightened by Su Shiming's sudden death to pay attention at first, then when they saw Su Muxu approaching the bed while Su Mujun stood still, they finally realized something was wrong.

Su Mujun's mood was too calm and indifferent, which made people unable to see through it and at the same time found it shocking.

Subconsciously, she thought that Su Mujun had been in a coma since childhood and had not seen Su Shiming for a year after waking up. Perhaps it was because she had no feelings. Even the word father was just a title with no meaning to her, so she I won't feel anything...

Just when the thoughts of the servants in the room were wandering, Yao Huachang opened his eyes in a daze and looked around slowly. When his thoughts gradually became clear, his eyes instantly became moist, and tears rolled down, feeling extremely hurt.

"No... this is not true..." Yao Huachang was crying, and as if grasping the last straw, she grabbed the nearest Su Muxu's arm and looked at him with despair and hope.

"Xu'er... tell your mother that this is not true, right? Your father is not dead, is he? He will be back soon, I will see him soon, how could he die? This must not be true... it must be not real!……"

Su Muxu quickly hugged Yao Huachang, who was emotionally unstable, and comforted her with worried eyebrows: "Mom, please calm down, maybe... maybe nothing happened to my father, but my brother was too nervous and didn't recognize the person carefully..."

Yao Huachang, who was on the verge of emotional collapse, was stunned when he heard the words. He became quiet for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Yes! Ye'er must not be sure! I can't be confused... I still have to wait for Shiming to come back, he will be there tomorrow If you can come back, you can come back tomorrow..."

As Yao Huachang spoke, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face. There was no trace of dignity in her anxious and messy look.

Everyone in the room could see that Yao Huachang was extremely fragile at this time, and his entire mood was stretched into a straight line, which would break with just the slightest touch, and he was completely desperate.

Seeing Yao Huachang like this, Su Muxu didn't dare to irritate her, so he quickly comforted her with determination.

"Yes, maybe father will be back tomorrow, so mother, please don't think too much. Can Xu'er go to dinner with mother first? If father comes back and sees that mother doesn't eat on time, he will feel bad."

"Yes, yes...Shiming loves to worry, I can't make him feel bad..." Yao Huachang nodded quickly and got out of bed, looked at the maids and attendants standing around and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and set the table."

The standing maids and attendants received Su Muxu's glance and quickly responded and ran to prepare the meal.

Su Mujun watched this scene quietly, without saying anything, but with a bit of thoughtfulness in his heart. Su Shiming's sudden accident was definitely not normal, and there was something wrong with Yao Huachang's expression, although such a collapse seemed reasonable. , but some of the subtle expressions are too in place and add a hint of hypocrisy...

Su Mujun glanced at the housekeeper and motioned for him to follow him out. He asked aloud after leaving the house.

"Did the guard who came to report tell us why the accident happened?"

After Wei Xiang heard this, he quickly recounted the content of the guard's report: "The guard said that they were suddenly attacked by a group of men in black when they were stationed in the Wild Wolf Forest five hundred miles away yesterday evening. The master unfortunately fell nearby while fighting with them. On the cliff, he was seriously injured and encountered a pack of wild wolves at the bottom of the cliff. By the time the eldest young master and others rushed to the bottom of the cliff, it was already too late. They only saw the corpses of wild wolves on the ground and the old master who was lifeless and bloody... "

Su Mujun's mind moved when he heard the last sentence, and he confirmed aloud: "Are you sure that the guard said that the body was so bloody that he couldn't see clearly?"

Wei Xiang was stunned for a moment, thinking back to what the guard said, and then nodded firmly after a moment.

"My servant is sure. The guard said that when they arrived, the master's body was being torn apart by two slightly injured wild wolves. Not only was the skin and flesh on his body torn, but his entire face was so bloody that he would have been unrecognizable. If it weren't for It’s the battle robe and all the things the master is wearing that can’t be identified by their appearance, and there are dozens of wild wolf corpses scattered around..."

As Wei Xiang spoke, he felt a burst of heartache and horror. Just thinking about the tragic scene made him shudder and horrified...

After getting the answer he wanted, Su Mujun did not enter the house again, but left Qingyun Garden with Feng Ye. After walking out of Qingyun Garden, he said something to Feng Ye beside him.

"Send someone to monitor Yao Huachang all day long, and don't miss her every move."

Feng Ye has been with Su Mujun for a year, and because too many things have happened recently, his thoughts have become more careful and meticulous. After listening to Su Mujun's explanation, he quickly reacted, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Master, do you suspect there is something wrong with General Su's death?"

Mr. Su Mu did not hide anything from Feng Ye, nodding and speaking out his guess: "Now the most likely person to attack Su Shiming is Chu Wenjin, but the fact that they have been peaceful for more than ten days shows that Chu Wenjin has completely given up. We have no intention of intercepting and destroying the evidence along the way, because with Wei Shenqiu's accusation, Jin'an Marquis cannot escape this disaster even if the evidence is destroyed."

"In this way, when Su Shiming and others are approaching Liyang, it is even less likely to send people to intercept and kill them. Not to mention that the best opportunity to take action has been missed. Let's just say that Chu Wenjin was busy forcing the palace last night, and it is even less likely that there will be any extra If you want to plot against Su Shiming, the others have no reason to offend Su Shiming at this juncture."

"Then this assassination makes no sense. Moreover, how could Su Shiming break away from the protection of the army and go to the cliff outside the circle? The cliffs near the Wild Wolf Forest are not high. Even if Su Shiming was accidentally injured when he fell, based on His martial arts, as long as the wolf pack does not exceed a hundred, is enough to withstand Su Muye's search."

"However, since the soldier said that there were only two wolves alive and biting Su Shiming's body when they arrived, and there were only dozens of wild wolf corpses around, it can be seen that the wolf pack at that time did not exceed a hundred. In this case, Su Shiming Why did he die at the last minute? This doesn’t make sense at all.”

Another thing Mr. Su Mu didn't mention is that there are doubts about Qicheng. Su Shiming knew that Su Zilu had evil intentions and planned to burn down Qicheng, as if he was deliberately seeking his own death. With such a criminal record, and his death being so bizarre now, people have to doubt it. It's a scam!

After listening to Su Mujun's analysis, Feng Ye also felt that Su Shiming's death was full of doubts. Many aspects were completely unexplainable. The two only living wild wolves were the most contradictory, as if they were deliberately kept...

and many more……

deliberately? !

Feng Ye thought for a while and finally realized why something was wrong. Yes, it was intentional!

The whole process seemed to have been planned and done deliberately, especially the two wild wolves that were alive and biting the corpse, as if they were deliberately left to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces...

After thinking about it, Feng Ye hurriedly said: "I will find someone to take care of it now."

He had always felt that Yao Huachang was a little weird, and she seemed to often inquire about her master's affairs intentionally or unintentionally. In addition, he had previously discovered that she was sending messages to outsiders, which made her even more suspicious.

Now that Su Shiming has a problem and Yao Huachang behaved strangely before, the two of them must be in the same group. Maybe they can find some clues by staring at Yao Huachang!

Chu Yunyue, who was cleaning up the aftermath in the palace, was also stunned for a moment when she heard the news of Su Shiming's death. Obviously, Su Shiming's death came too suddenly and unexpectedly.

How come nothing happened all the way from the border, but something happened at the pass when we were about to arrive in Liyang? It’s really weird...

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also shocked when they received the news. But after the shock, many people started to take action to acquire the soldiers in Su Shiming's hands.

Even if Su Muye achieved military exploits in this battle at Shuanglu Pass, it would not be enough for him to command the troops. Half of the troops would have to be given to other qualified generals. This was the time when the court was reshuffling. Now, it is a good time to fight for power!

For a time, the courtiers had not yet woken up from the incident of Chu Wenjin forcing the palace, but they were once again overwhelmed by this great opportunity. They were all excited, and there was an undercurrent in both the government and the public.

Chu Yunyue was a little worried that Mr. Su Mu would be depressed because of Su Shiming's death, but at this time, Emperor Chu had given him full authority to handle everything in the court. He had no time to leave the palace to see Mr. Su Mu, so he could only chat through the communication stone. care.

However, when she saw Su Mujun's calm expression, Chu Yunyue suddenly felt that it should be like this. It seemed that only such a calm and indifferent emotion should appear in Su Mujun's body.

After all, with Su Mujun's character, he also felt that she was not a person who could move people who had no emotions. But despite this, Chu Yunyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Mujun who was emotionally stable.

"I will arrange for people to investigate your father's death. This matter should not be caused by Chu Wenjin, but it is precisely because of this that people feel suspicious. Do you have any ideas?"

Chu Yunyue wanted to hear Su Mujun's opinion. After all, Su Mujun's mental strategy was not inferior to his, and there might be some clues that he hadn't expected.

Su Mujun heard the words and refused aloud: "I already have some clues about this matter. I don't need you to intervene for the time being. When Su Muye and others arrive in the imperial city tomorrow, you can just follow the normal procedures."

Chu Yunyue understood what Su Mujun meant. She was asking him to investigate according to normal procedures, and deal with anything he found as usual. If he couldn't find it, there was no need to bother, she would deal with it privately.

Therefore, Chu Yunyue didn't ask any more questions, just nodded in agreement, and then asked about other things.

"When do you plan to see Chu Wenjin?"

Chu Yunyue didn't ask about the weird butterfly last night. It seemed that along the way, more than a year of cooperation had allowed the two to develop a tacit understanding, that is, they would not ask about things that the other party did not tell, and they would maintain their own sense of proportion and bottom line. , do not interfere, do not overstep the rules.

Because of this, Chu Yunyue clearly understood that there was an insurmountable gap between him and Su Mujun. It was this gap that kept him and Su Mujun in a position where they were neither close nor strangers. It was an extremely subtle and confusing situation. A relationship where people feel helpless and lost...

Su Mujun has always admired Chu Yunyue's moderation and sense of proportion, which is why they have been able to cooperate peacefully until today. Su Mujun did not intend to explain what happened yesterday, so he just said it without thinking too much.

"Tonight."

Su Shiming's death suddenly happened, and it was hard for her to go out in broad daylight and attract attention.

Chu Yunyue nodded without hesitation: "I will wait for you at Qianyang Gate in Haishi."

"If you are busy, you don't need to accompany me specially. Just send someone to lead the way." Su Mujun knows how busy Chu Yunyue will be during this period. For her, this is just a small matter and does not require his personal companionship.

Chu Yunyue said with a cold face: "There is still some time."

Seeing that Chu Yunyue had said so, Mr. Su Mu didn't bother too much about the matter. He shrugged noncommittally and cut off the communication.
