Witchcraft Murder

Chapter 274: Witchcraft Murder

"Murder! Murder!"

A steward hurried to report to the chief priest Gu Linuan, shouting, "Something terrible has happened! Imperial College Doctor Qin Mu has killed someone again!"

In the Imperial Academy, Gu Li Nuan was drinking tea, not taking it seriously, and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? He is the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, is killing someone worth your panic? It would be strange if he didn't kill anyone. Who did he kill?"

The steward didn't even have time to catch his breath and said, "He killed two envoys from the Mandi Kingdom!"

Bang!

The teacup in Gu Li Nuan's hand exploded into pieces, his face changed drastically, and he said in a lost voice: "The Man Di Kingdom sent an envoy? And killed two of them? No, I have already invited guests, why are you still making things difficult for me?"

He stood up quickly, intending to rush out of the hall, but suddenly stopped, walked back and forth, and said, "He is the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the leader of the first holy land of the Demonic Path. I ran over to question him, and this is like an old man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long. Let's report this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."

Bashan Jijiu stood not far away, observing Bangongcuo and Qin Mu. Seeing this scene, he felt a buzzing pain in his head and was really a bit overwhelmed: "Junior brother, I just asked you to test the depth of Bangongcuo. Who asked you to kill the envoy of Mandi Kingdom?"

The envoys sent by the Khan of Mandi Kingdom were led by Bangongcuo and there were more than ten of them. Qin Mu killed two of them directly in Taixue Academy this time.

This matter will definitely not end well!

Luan Khan of the Mandi Kingdom was also a great leader on the grassland. He was a man of great talent and strategy. He annexed other khanates on the grassland and built a great grassland power to compete with the Yankang Kingdom.

He even learned the culture of Yankang State, absorbed its strengths, developed Mandi State, and reformed its internal affairs. The court system of Mandi State was the same as that of Yankang State, and he also set up schools in various places.

At present, he has not unified the grassland, so he cannot compete with Yankang Kingdom with all his strength. When he unifies the grassland, he will concentrate all his strength to deal with Yankang.

At present, Yankang State had gone through two disasters and its national strength had been severely weakened. The main purpose of Luan Khan sending the envoy to Yankang, in addition to learning, was to see to what extent Yankang State had weakened.

He is an eagle entrenched in the sky above the grassland, ready to invade the east at any time. As long as he is given the opportunity, he can lead the grassland cavalry to plunder like fire and point his whip to the Central Plains.

But it was obvious that Qin Mu didn't care about all this and directly killed the two envoys.

This move is likely to provoke a war between the two countries!

Right now the impact of the natural disaster has not yet disappeared and Yankang is weak. If Luan Khan takes the opportunity to attack with his army, there will be a disaster!

Bashan Jijiu regretted asking Qin Mu to test Pangong Lake. It was obvious that the junior fellow who escaped from Daxu was lawless and bold. After killing Qiankang Shi, he just patted his butt and returned to Daxu, but he was afraid that there would be a mess behind him.

"The Crown Prince is now the regent. Let's see how Crown Prince Yu Shu handles it."

Bashan Jijiu couldn't help but feel a headache for Ling Yushu. Ling Yushu had been acting as regent and everything had been going smoothly. He even issued an edict of repentance and asked for forgiveness from the heaven at the Temple of Heaven. Whether it was abolishing the treaty, reclaiming the land, or continuing the disaster relief, he had done a very good job and was very popular.

But now he was probably facing his first difficulty since he became regent.

Pangong Co's eyes fell on Qin Mu, without much emotion in them, as if no matter how Qin Mu forced or provoked him, it would not shake his mind.

Pangongcuo said indifferently: "The leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult is naturally not bad. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between us. If the leader does not mind, I will hold a banquet at the Yuxiang Tower in the capital tomorrow to apologize to the leader. What do you think, leader Qin?"

"good."

Qin Mu was very carefree and said with a smile: "You two followers are really bold. You actually dared to attack me. As the master, you should really hold a banquet to apologize."

Pangong Tso's eyes twitched and he turned and left.

Qin Mu's eyes were fixed on his back, full of murderous intent, but Pangong Tso walked steadily, as if he had no awareness or discomfort, except that his steps were a little untidy and he seemed to be limping when he walked.

“This guy…”

Qin Mu gasped, deeply feeling the difficulty and terror of Pangong Tso.

He had repeatedly provoked Pangong Tso, even slapped him in the face, humiliated him, and killed his followers in front of him, but this man remained expressionless. And now Qin Mu's murderous intent was directed at him, but he could still walk so steadily, just a little limping, which was really a scary person.

I dare not say anything else, but if it were a strong man like Daozi or Fozi, and they were locked in Qin Mu's gaze with murderous aura pointed at their backs, Fozi and Daozi would probably not dare to move a single step, as any movement would reveal a flaw.

If their cultivation and attainments were deeper and stronger than those of Taoists and Buddhists, and they were targeted by Qin Mu like this, they would either walk with a limp or slowly retreat in front of him.

The reason why he walked with a limp was to move his body to avoid any possible attack from Qin Mu, so it was impossible for him to walk in a straight line, and he even had to move his body up and down.

Therefore, Pangong Tso's walking posture seemed a little strange, as if he was limping, but in fact he did not reveal the slightest flaw and did not give Qin Mu any chance!

The most terrifying thing is that Pangong Tso was only slightly limping, and it was not very serious, which shows that his attainments and cultivation were extremely high!

Bashan Jijiu walked quickly to Qin Mu's side, but saw that Qin Mu was still looking at the figure of Pangong Lake going away.

"Brother Bashan, you've given me a difficult task."

Qin Mu exhaled a breath of foul air, looked at Bashan Jijiu, and said in a deep voice: "This Bangongcuo is the most powerful existence among his peers that I have ever seen! Even more powerful than Lin Xuan Daozi! If he is not the old monster who has reincarnated eighteen times, then this person must be a tyrant like me!"

Bashan Jijiu looked unhappy: "So you killed two envoys?"

Qin Mu was stunned and said hesitantly, "Didn't you say that we can't kill people? Besides, didn't we kill many great witches from the Golden Palace of Loulan outside the Great Wall? It's still a bargain to kill only two this time."

Bashan Jijiu was so angry that he laughed: "How can this be the same? Last time I brought you and the princess to block the door, I used the identity of Wu Khan, which had nothing to do with Yankang Kingdom. This time they sent Kang envoys, representing the Mandi Kingdom! You killed two envoys from the Mandi Kingdom, which is a slap in the face of the Mandi Kingdom. How can you let it go?"

Qin Mu said honestly: "You didn't say... I've already killed him, and now there's no way to save him."

Bashan Jiji had a splitting headache and exhaled a foul breath, saying, "Now you just wait for the prince to summon you... The prince must have heard about this by now, and he must be more troubled than me. You are the leader of the Demon Cult and a meritorious minister. You fought for the position of the prince for him, and he can't hit or scold you... And!"

His face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If Pangong Tso is that old monster, then you have to be careful tonight. If that old monster knows his name, he can kill people! After you meet the prince, I will go to your room tonight!"

Qin Mu nodded. He believed that someone who could even make the butcher conceal his real name was something he must guard against!

As expected by Bashan Jijiu, Prince Ling Yushu came to Qin Mu in the afternoon. Different from what Bashan Jijiu had guessed, Ling Yushu did not summon Qin Mu, but came directly to the Imperial Academy to meet Qin Mu in person.

"Your Highness, I am deeply honored to visit you in person." Qin Mu greeted him.

Ling Yushu glanced at him and sighed, "I didn't see you showing any signs of panic, but rather you were very calm. Master Qin, today's incident gave me a headache, a very big headache, and I still couldn't explain it after thinking about it for half a day. You always have ideas, so you can teach me how to explain it."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "It's simple. Your Highness wrote a letter to Luan Khan, saying that the two envoys from Mandi Kingdom were unruly and unruly. They dared to kill people in such a supreme holy place as Taixue Academy, intending to murder Doctor Zhongsan. This Doctor Zhongsan is the Master Qin of the first holy place of the magic path in Yankang Kingdom. Master Qin was furious and had killed the two envoys. Your Highness also said that Master Qin was furious and asked Luan Khan to apologize, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

Ling Yushu was dumbfounded.

After a while, he exhaled and sighed, "Okay, let's write it like this. If Luan Khan gets furious and leads his troops to attack, you will lead the charge and charge forward with your head on the line."

Qin Mu's face darkened.

Ling Yushu smiled and said, "Will the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader also get scared one day? Well, let's not talk about this. Sect Leader, I think it's meaningless for you to stay in this Imperial College. There are three to five hundred foreign envoys in the Imperial College. What if one day you kill a few more on a whim? Will I, the Crown Prince Regent, still have to work? Writing letters to the emperors of other countries to clean up your mess is enough to keep me busy for a long time."

Qin Mu said angrily: "I don't kill often. Isn't there a reason for this?"

Ling Yushu smiled and said, "You are now a supernatural being, and your abilities have also increased. Father appointed you as Zhongsan Dafu before, but it was just a nominal position, with no real power. How about this, I will give you a real position. Father and the Imperial Master have woken up, and in a few days I will not need to be the Prime Minister, and I will definitely go out to provide disaster relief. You come with me. This time I go out, I will also need to bring some officials from the Ministry of Works and some scholars from the Imperial Academy."

He was really worried about Qin Mu. If he left Qin Mu here, something unexpected might happen, so he might as well keep him by his side.

Qin Mu thought about it and realized that there was really nothing for him to do in the Imperial Academy. He was not allowed to fight or kill, and there were too many restrictions. It would be better for him to go out for a walk with the prince.

Ling Yushu walked side by side with him and suddenly asked, "I heard that my sister slept at your place last night?"

Qin Mu shuddered and said sternly, "Your Highness, this is absolutely not the case. Don't listen to the slander of the villain and ruin the reputation of me and the princess!"

Ling Yushu's eyes fell on his face. Seeing that he didn't look fake, he felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, "I believe you. Okay, I'll help you settle the matter of killing the envoy Qian Kang. Shamelessly write a letter to Luan Khan. You also prepare yourself and leave the capital with me in a few days."

Qin Mu watched him go away. Bashan Jiji came over and said mysteriously, "I just overheard the prince say that the Sixth Princess Ling Yuxiu slept at your place last night? By the way, I did see the Sixth Princess and two palace maids carrying lanterns down the mountain this morning. Did you..."

Qin Mu had a headache and said firmly, "That's not true! Senior Brother, Grandpa Tu runs away every time he sees you because you are so talkative, and he doesn't dare to meet you as master and disciple. You should restrain yourself and don't believe everything you hear!"

Bashan Jiji said hesitantly, "I am just curious. Don't worry, I am very tight-lipped. I am not like the poor man like Duke Wei who shouts loudly everywhere... If Bangongcuo is the old monster, you will be in danger tonight. Let's share a room at night so that we can take care of each other. Be alert when you go to bed at night and don't sleep too deeply."

That night.

Bashan Jijiu was snoring like thunder. He slept on the floor while Qin Mu slept on the bed. His snoring made the bed buzz. Qin Mu's body was numb from the snoring and he did not sleep all night.

Nothing unusual happened that night until four o'clock in the morning, when suddenly a cold wind blew and blew open the two window frames.
