Chapter 855 Omen
When Yunyao learned that the wedding date had been fixed, a look of embarrassment appeared in her eyes, and her heart beat a little faster.
"Why is the appointed date so close? In two months, can you be ready?"
She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks were flushed, and her voice was full of shame.
Ji Tianxing hugged her slender waist and said with a smile: "Uncle said that the Yunling Palace has already started preparations, and two months is enough time.
Moreover, I really want to marry you as soon as possible to fulfill my long-cherished wish. "
"A long-cherished wish?" Yun Yao raised her eyebrows, looked at him with complicated eyes, and asked, "We have known each other for less than two years, how can it be called a long-cherished wish?"
Ji Tianxing showed a playful smile, and whispered in her ear: "From the first time I met you, I have thought in my heart that one day, I will marry you as my wife!"
Gentle whispers rang in her ears, and the warm air flowed on her crystal earlobes, which immediately made her earlobes turn red, very cute.
A deep sense of shame welled up in her heart, causing her to lower her head uncontrollably, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Tian Xing, when you first saw me, did you have this kind of thought?"
"Of course." Ji Tianxing said firmly: "Although I was a toad at that time, and you were a noble swan...
However, a toad that doesn't want to eat swans is not a good toad. "
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his arms around Yun Yao's slender waist, and hugged her tightly into his arms.
Yun Yao became more and more ashamed, she snuggled into his arms, with complicated thoughts welling up in her heart.
Looking back over the past year or so, she was filled with emotion for all the things the two had experienced.
After a long time, the two separated.
They left the reception hall, rushed to Yunyao's study, and then discussed about Yuejiancheng.
...
Two hours later, it was noon.
Ji Tianxing left the city lord's mansion alone and rushed to Cao's mansion in the east city to check the situation in person.
The Cao family is one of the wealthy families in Yuejian City. It has been passed down for more than three hundred years, and its power should not be underestimated.
Moreover, the Cao family has flourished in recent decades, the family has produced a large number of talents, and the family business is also very prosperous.
It's a pity that when the Cao family was at its most glorious, this tragedy happened. More than 80 members of the family were killed, which can be described as utterly tragic.
This incident caused an uproar in the city, and changed the expressions of countless people talking about it.
When Ji Tianxing arrived at the Cao Mansion, he saw that the surroundings of the huge mansion were guarded by city guards.
No one dared to approach the mansion, and occasionally some people passed by here, and they tried to stay away from Cao's mansion as much as possible, walking away quickly with fearful expressions.
In the magnificent mansion, there was a deathly silence, filled with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
Even in broad daylight, it makes people feel uncomfortable and panicked.
Ji Tian walked to the gate of Cao Mansion, but was stopped by four city guards.
"This place has been banned by the City Lord's Mansion, and no one can enter without the order of the City Lord's Mansion."
"I'm Ji Tianxing, the emperor's son, and I'm here to search for clues." He took out his identity token and said in a dignified voice.
The expressions of the four city guards changed, and they immediately saluted respectfully and opened the door for him.
Ji Tianxing stepped through the gate and walked into the Cao Mansion.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a spacious front yard. Several plane trees are planted in the yard, as high as ten feet, and they are at least a hundred years old.
The wide tree canopy almost covers the entire front yard, blocking the midday sun and making the yard somewhat shady.
Under a sycamore tree as thick as a water tank, there was a pile of bones, and there was a waist knife and half a pair of armor on the ground.
Ji Tianxing glanced at it, and he could tell that it was the skeleton of a middle-aged man, who should be the guard of Cao Mansion.
There is an ancient well in the corner of the yard. The edge of the well is a circle of bluestone. The pulley at the well head is intact, and there are well ropes and a bucket hanging from it.
However, there was a pile of bones scattered along the edge of the well, as well as an embroidered sachet and a pair of embroidered shoes.
Ji Tianxing walked across the front yard expressionlessly, looked around calmly, and saw bones one after another.
Ever since the tragedy happened in the Cao Mansion, the City Lord Mansion has sent troops to seal it off, and no one else is allowed to enter.
The scene in the mansion still retains its original appearance.
When Ji Tianxing saw those bones, some images vaguely appeared in his mind, and he could roughly guess the scene when the incident happened.
The main courtyard has the most people and the most bones.
Especially outside the main hall of the Cao Mansion, there were more than 20 piles of bones scattered on both sides of the bluestone steps and the avenue.
Those skeletons included males and females, old and young, but their death patterns were similar. They were all swallowed up by demon puppets, turned into a pile of white bones, and fell to the ground.
Ji Tianxing went around the Cao Mansion and found a total of eighty-four corpses.
Among them were several skeletons, which were lying in hidden places such as woodsheds and cellars.
If Yunyao didn't tell him the exact number of people in the Cao family, he wouldn't feel any surprise.
Judging from the appearance, the Cao family suffered a disaster and was wiped out overnight.
But the bones of Cao Jingfeng, the eldest son of the Cao family, are not there, and his whereabouts have been unknown for a month.
After Ji Tianxing investigated the situation of the Cao Mansion, he was 80% sure that the person who massacred the entire Cao family was Cao Jingfeng.
"A young man with a bright future, who was possessed by a demon and turned into a demonic puppet who only knew how to kill, even killed everyone in his family, including his parents, brothers and sisters...
Vicious Demon Gu, damn Demon Race! ! "
He secretly clenched his fists, with strong anger and killing intent accumulated in his chest, he wished he could smash the Demon Emperor and all the Demon Race to pieces!
At this moment, he suddenly frowned, revealing a puzzled look.
He vaguely noticed that his head felt warm, as if something was burning in his mind.
However, he didn't feel any discomfort, and the temperature on his forehead was also very normal, nothing unusual.
He quickly used his spiritual sense to look inside, and saw that the sky-replenishing bead in his mind was shining with dense white light, exuding invisible mysterious power.
"Sure enough, the Bu Tianzhu reacted... But, what kind of omen is this?"
This thought flashed through his mind, full of doubts, and walked around the Cao Mansion twice more.
As a result, the abnormal reaction of the Bu Tianzhu did not dissipate, and it was still shining with dense white light.
But he didn't find any clues, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
The Bu Tianzhu is too mysterious and powerful, he knows nothing about the efficacy and secrets of the Bu Tianzhu.
In desperation, he could only temporarily leave the Cao Mansion and return to the City Lord's Mansion.
When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the Bu Tianzhu had calmed down and no longer flashed white light.
Seeing this scene, he was sure that the flashing and heating vision of the Budzi Bead must have something to do with the Cao Mansion.
As for the Cao Mansion, there is nothing special about it other than being massacred by the demonic puppets.
Thinking of this, he had a vague premonition that the abnormal reaction of the Butzi Bead must be related to the puppet.
