Rebirth of the Phoenix

At this moment, there was a certain barracks of the Guards. Five men looked at the newly added head on the table - Lao Qi's head, with red eyes. They were silent for a long time. On the bed, Lao Dao's body was still lying there. They wanted to capture it. The murderer cut off his head in front of his elder brother. However, he didn’t expect that just one day later, the youngest’s head was hung in front of the house of the ladies. The youngest only had a head and no torso. Where did the torso go? After staring at Lao Qi's head for a long time, Wu Dao stood up and said in a dead voice: "Let's go to Xiang Lake." Others didn't understand: "What are we going to Xiang Lake for?" Wu Dao His eyes were as cold as a knife: "Yesterday morning, I sent Lao Qi to Xianghu Lake to look for clues about the murderer. He went there and never came back. Maybe he was killed there..." Before he could finish, several people rushed out: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find that bastard and kill him!" Wu Dao glared at their backs and cursed: Idiots! Then he chased them out. After Qida went to Xiang Lake, he never came back. He was busy investigating other clues and didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't see Qida coming back last night, so they went to look for it separately. However, the palace is so big and they are men. How can they dig through the palace? Xianghu doesn't It’s not too big or small, and the location is not too lively, nor is it too remote. Because it’s wet and slippery on rainy days, no one comes to play by the lake at this time. When they came to Xiang Lake, they didn’t see anyone else. They Searching around the lake, we soon found blood stains in the dianthus flowers. A large amount of blood stains were mixed with the colors of the colorful flowers. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all. This piece of dianthus was also trampled. It was obvious that they had been crushed by heavy objects, and there were scattered trampling marks all around. They killed countless people, and immediately smelled the smell of death here, and their expressions suddenly changed: Is this a crime scene? Wu Dao stood up and put his hand on his clothes. He wiped it and shouted: "Go into the water and look for the body." "Lao Wu, do you think Lao Qi's body is in the lake?" "Where would it be if it weren't in the lake? Who can drag such a big person around the palace?" Yes. Two people raised their hands: "Lao Wu, we can't swim." Lao Wu cursed: "If you can't swim, just keep searching on the shore and don't miss an inch." Then, he didn't say anything and followed the other two. The brothers jumped into the lake and said, "Let's search separately and look carefully." Among the three people who went into the water, Liu Dao was the most active and worked hard. Because Qi Dao was his biological brother. He was like a fish, moving quickly on the bottom of the lake. He swam around, not missing any place. The water in the lake was very clear, and the center of the lake was about two meters deep. He could clearly see the environment at the bottom of the lake. He didn't look for too long before he found a headless male corpse. At that moment , his eyes were broken, he rushed over and grabbed the body: This is the body of Lao Qi! The scars on the body were the same as those of the boss. For a moment, he almost shed tears: Lao Qi, you are too dead. It was tragic! But he didn't shed tears after all. How could people like them shed tears? Qidao's body was pressed down by a big stone. He reached out of the water, took a few deep breaths, and After taking a big gulp of air, he plunged into the water and prepared to drag Qidao's body out of the water. However, after he pushed the big rock away and just turned Qidao's body over, something struck him like lightning. He jumped out from under Qidao and bit him on the arm. The bite didn't hurt, but his arm was numb on the spot. He took a closer look and saw a small snake swimming quickly towards the depths of the lake. He blinked. The shadow disappeared. What bad luck! He cursed in his heart and reached out to pull Lao Qi's arm. However, his arm bitten by the snake was completely paralyzed and he couldn't use any force at all. Not only that, this paralysis was spreading rapidly. It spread all over the body. Oh no, this snake is venomous, the poison is paralyzing! He didn't care about Qida's corpse anymore, paddled his legs and swam toward the lake. However, it was too late, the poison quickly spread throughout his body. , his limbs could barely move, but he couldn't swim. The breath he had held just now was no longer enough. He began to have difficulty breathing, and then his mouth and nose opened, and the lake water poured into his body. He couldn't breathe anymore. The lack of itch caused He fainted quickly, and in his confusion, he saw a figure swimming toward him. Was it Lao Wu and the others who found him? He was saved... But immediately, he knew that he had seen it wrong. The person swimming over was a woman. Then he didn't know anything. Half an hour later, other people swam here and found Qidao's torso. They worked together to pull Qidao's torso ashore and found out: Liu Dao was missing! Several people moved the lake to the lake again. We searched all over the lake and found only Lao Dao's broken arm. Liu Dao seemed to have melted into the lake, with no trace left. "Lao Wu, where did you say Lao Liu went? Where should we look for it? Him?" How do I *** know? Lao Wu cursed secretly, having a bad premonition in his heart, but at this moment, he had no other choice but to say: "Take Lao Qi's body and the boss's arm back first. , Let’s talk about it when we get back.” After returning, they rummaged around the Xiang Lake again, but there was no sign of Liu Dao anywhere. It wasn’t until the next day that someone from the palace accidentally discovered one in the weeds by the lake. The headless corpse of a man who died miserably. He was arranged in a "big" shape, with ants, cockroaches, scorpions, caterpillars and other bugs crawling all over his body. His hands and feet were probably twisted into strange arcs due to pain. , it was an extremely horrific way of death, an extremely horrific scene. The person who discovered the body was a young palace maid. She fainted after screaming, and when she woke up, her nerves were a little abnormal. Guards were discarded next to the male corpse. After hearing this, someone immediately went to notify the Guards, and the remaining "Seven Swordsmen" rushed to the scene immediately. When they saw the male corpse, their faces twisted: This is the body of Six Swordsmen. !Liu Dao's body was found, but Liu Dao's head was not found. No matter how they searched, they could not find it. When the news spread throughout the palace and people were panicking, Luo Hongzhuang was sitting by the pond in a corner of Zichen Palace. , looking at the water quietly, humming a ballad in a low voice. Liu Dao's head was well hidden by her. In half a month, the prince was going to get married, and she had to prepare for him when she met the prince. A "big gift", isn't it?
