Chapter 5 Wordless Scroll

Author: Sharkshou Zhazhao

For five days, there was a dead silence in the general's mansion, but outside the mansion, the three floors inside and outside were crowded with people watching the excitement.

The political opponents of the past and the opponents of today are all craning their necks, waiting to see the joke of the general's palace.

But there was no movement at all.

Some people even speculated that she really hanged herself in the house with three feet of white silk.

This is her fifth night of coma.

When Li Qianyin woke up, her high fever had subsided, but her body was still a little hot.

Who was the person who saved her that night?

A handsome face seemed to appear before his eyes.

She sat on the bed and shook her head in a funny way.

Over the years, things and people have changed.

Even though she was the one who took the initiative to tease her, the warmth of the red candle tent and the rubbing of her ears and temples were all fake!

The purpose was just to destroy her demon treasury, dissipate all her energy, level the demon cave, and kill them all.

I originally thought she hated him enough, but in the end, what happened?

Trading one's life for one's life is equal.

But since he has changed his temper and forgotten his past, why should he be entangled with her again!

Li Qianyin sighed and regained consciousness.

Even though this is the last consciousness he has left in the world, she will not disturb her for no reason, but if he blocks her path to revenge in the future, he will definitely pay for it with blood!

The oil lamp was exhausted, and the whole general's mansion looked desolate.

She closed her eyes and activated her Yuan Qi. She felt her body light up, and a layer of faint purple mist emerged from the void within three feet, surrounding her.

I don’t know how many times I gathered and absorbed Qi, and three or four hours passed in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, the mutation occurred again.

He felt a loud noise inside his body - like the Milky Way pouring out, the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. Li Qianyin opened his eyes, and his originally light brown eyes were as dark as night.

"One to three levels of minor heaven, four to six levels of middle heaven, seven to nine levels of major heaven, ten levels of semi-god, and finally the Qingxiao position."

"Oh, the Yuan Qi of the Qingxiao position is really easy to use. Even though there are only a few of them in a dilapidated state, it allowed me to reach the realm of the first-level minor heaven in such a short period of time."

If it is an ordinary cultivator, it will only take three to five years to reach this level. If it is a person with poor qualifications, it will only take a few decades to reach the level of a small heaven.

After practicing for a long time, she was sweating profusely. Li Qianyin took off her clothes, stepped barefoot into the prepared bath, and rested for a long time with great enjoyment.

After everything was over, she had the opportunity to take a closer look at the general's mansion.

There were no servants in the huge mansion, and the only dowry girl, Yun Yin, was plotting to murder her master for others.

Look at the six boxes piled up and down at the door. They are the dowry that was returned with her by the palace, and they are also all the valuables that can be found in the general's palace.

No money, no manpower.

"You've been living such a useless life in the past."

Li Qianyin muttered to herself while starting to pack the dowry in the messy box.

"Huh? What is this?"

A brocade box that looked to be of some age and looked quite worthless was placed in the deepest part of the dowry box and deliberately hidden with various calligraphy and painting jewelry.

When I opened it, it was just a scroll without words.

"Could it be that I forgot something?"

Theoretically speaking, this mysterious thing is often extremely important.

Li Qianyin remembered that two years ago, the late Emperor of the Ye Dynasty was hit by a stray arrow and died during a mutiny. However, King Yi, who had been established as the crown prince long ago, went to Miao territory to find medicine but failed and never came back.

A few months later, Li Quan, the governor of the state, personally supported the coffin and built a tomb for King Yi, calling him the "Prince's Funeral Heaven".

A country cannot live without a king for a day. The late emperor had few heirs, so only Li Dan, the late emperor's sworn brother, could shoulder this important task.

In order to show his loyalty and filial piety, Li Quansu knelt in front of the late emperor's spirit for seven days.

That's why we have today's emperor.

Eight months ago, the news of General Zhaonan's death in battle had just reached Luoyang. The imperial army surrounded the general's residence like an iron barrel. They said they were handling the general's funeral affairs, but in fact they ransacked his home.

This incident was widely spread in Luoyang City.

It is said that the general was bound to win this battle, but due to some tricks in the army, the entire army was wiped out. The imperial army surrounded the general's residence for the purpose of searching and interrogating him.

But eight months later, the results of the search were inconclusive.

Li Qianyin couldn't help but guess that at that time, the imperial army might not be interrogating or searching, or dealing with funeral affairs, but more like looking for something.

To be on the safe side, after repeatedly confirming that no one was watching around, she gently touched the scroll and put the brocade box into her consciousness.

But Li Qianyin didn't notice that the moment she took out the scroll, a figure quietly left from the roof of the General's Mansion.

On the seventh day, the door to the General's Mansion finally opened.

Li Qianyin was dressed in plain clothes, no makeup, and her long dark hair was tied back casually.

His tone was clear and unwavering: "Everyone, get out of the way."

Everyone was startled at first, and then they all remembered their master's orders, messages and invitations.

All the ladies from well-known families didn't want to bring bad luck to Li Qianyin in the name of going to a party to enjoy the flowers.

For so many days, although she didn't want to care, she could clearly hear the movement at the door.

"Everyone," she raised the corner of her lips and smiled, as if she didn't understand the sarcasm in the other person's words, and said politely, "it's hard to refuse your kindness. Qianyin understands it deeply and is grateful. However, there have been changes in the family, and miscellaneous things have happened.

There are many, and when Qianyin rebuilds the general's mansion, we will have a banquet for you all to entertain the guests."

After hearing this, the servants and maids all laughed again.

"Is this Li Qianyin stupid? If others don't tell her directly, she really thinks she is a piece of cake."

"Yes, but most people should be locked up in their rooms after doing such a thing. She still has the nerve to come out, which shows that she is not a normal person."

"That's true, but did you listen to what she just said? She wants to renovate the mansion to entertain guests? I have to go back and tell my lady."

Li Qianyin snorted coldly and walked through the crowd as if no one else was around, as if she didn't hear these words.

This time I went out to go to the bank to pawn the unused jewelry at home in exchange for some money.

Passing by the Gu Mansion, I met the head of the Gu family.

Gu's eldest son threw a basin in the mourning hall and prepared for the family to help the coffin out.

Seeing this, the people on the roadside gave way one after another.

"Mr. Gu is a good man. He is only over fifty, so why did he leave?"

Someone in the crowd sighed.

"It's a pity that the head of the Gu family is very charitable. Back then, I was begging on the street and asked for food when I came to Master Gu. I thought that these rich people would not even look at us, but I didn't expect that Master Gu would personally arrange for someone to find a job for me.

A living to support a family.”

"Yes, but Mr. Gu has always been strong and strong. Isn't there something inside?"

Although she is in the devil's realm, Li Qianyin is not an emotionless person who kills indiscriminately.

It's just that the world is in chaos, and the righteous path has little mercy and hypocrisy. Only by following this path can we achieve great harmony.

I thought that the high-ranking dignitaries in the imperial city were all jackals, tigers and leopards, but there were actually kind people.

Hearing this, Li Qianyin sighed secretly and was about to step aside and wait for the coffin to pass.

"Um?"

Her eyes flickered.

The person inside the coffin still has a weak heartbeat?

Is it possible that, as others have said, there is a hidden reason behind the "death" of the head of the Gu family?

There have always been constant disputes in the inner courtyard of the Gaomen, and she knew this.

It's just that for a person with such high moral character and respect as the head of the Gu family, how could anyone be so cruel as to commit such a murderous act?

Although the Gu family was just a merchant family with a low status, they were also engaged in tea, salt and water transportation, and were rich all over the world.

With the help of the Gu family, wouldn't those trash who were hiding in the dark and could only die with her barely manage to die with her after all their efforts, wouldn't they be found soon?

The sound of the suona was playing sadly, gradually getting farther and farther away.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Qianyin didn't know when she moved to the front of the group of spirits and raised her hand to cover the mouth of the suona bowl.

The whole street suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the woman in white who was blocking the coffin.

"Isn't this the lady from the General's Mansion?"

"The young lady from the general's palace who made a promise to the late prince and then did something dirty on the wedding day?"

People on both sides whispered about it, and all of it reached the ears of the Gu family.

Li Qianyin's eyes were dark, and she stopped in front of Gu's eldest son and the team, and carefully observed the tall man in front of him who was wearing mourning clothes and had bloodshot eyes.

After a while, he raised his head and asked her in a dumb voice.

"Excuse me, girl, what are you doing for me?"
