Liu Cheng stopped in front of Nagaya, thought for a while and said to her: "I think the priest Moro must have been a character beauty.
King Khotan happened to see her when he attacked Jingjue Kingdom and discovered her beauty.
He coveted her beauty, so he captured her and took her back to Khotan during the withdrawal.
Believe it or not?"
Nagaya blinked: "How do you know?"
Liu Cheng spread his hands: "Besides this, I can't think of any other possibility.
After Moruo was snatched back, she was forcibly taken over by the King of Khotan and made her pregnant.
Then the King of Khotan raised an army to attack Jingjue without authorization.
The country was condemned and executed by the chief historian of the Western Regions.
One year after the death of King Khotan, Moro gave birth to the child of King Khotan.
In order to take revenge , she decided to take revenge on the Western Region Chief, but with his status, he could kill anyone he wanted.
Even if she succeeded, she would not survive, so she thought of poisoning the Western Region Chief with the bone meal of the Blue Flame Nether Turtle, and she succeeded.
He got close to the Chief of the Western Regions and poisoned him.
The Chief of the Western Regions drank the poisoned wine and was exposed to the sun, and then he died.
Self-burning into ashes, this kind of appalling thing was unheard of by people at the time, but nothing could be found out.
The court and the government could only ignore it, but they still made relevant records.
Then, the Blue Flame Minggui murder incident happened every once in a while.
Occurs once every few years or ten years, and appears whenever something big happens, such as the King of the West Night He Pishan King died of spontaneous combustion.
The deaths of these two people directly led to the destruction of these two countries.
There was also the second spontaneous combustion death of a long history official of the Western Regions, which almost caused the court to lose control of the Western Regions.
These events are all the consequences of Moro.
Is this what people do?
Let’s continue to investigate the case and the truth will gradually emerge.”
In the next two days, Liu Cheng ordered that everyone who had come into contact with King Mumi be arrested.
After investigation and screening, a woman Ji Lan selected from among the concubines and princesses of Khotan came into Liu Cheng's sight.
She Her name is Wan Tong, and she is the youngest daughter of King Anguo of Khotan.
She was escorted to the main hall by the soldiers.
Liu Cheng turned around with his sword.
He looked at the princess named Wan Tong, then looked at the other kings, and asked: "Princess Wan Tong, tell me how you killed her."
Forget about King Khotan, sophistry will do you no good.
Using blue flame turtles to kill people is no longer a secret to this general and these kings."
Wan Tong's expression changed after hearing these words.
After a long time, she gave up her sophistry and admitted: "Yes, I poisoned King Mumi with the bone meal of the Blue Flame Underworld Turtle.
The hatred between Khotan and Mumi will last forever."
It cannot be eliminated until one of them perishes.”
There was an uproar in the main hall, and the kings of all countries were filled with righteous indignation.
They pointed at her and shouted to kill her.
It was too terrible for such a person to remain in the world, and the panic he could cause could almost exceed that of a war.
Liu Cheng raised his palms to calm down the kings of various countries.
He asked again: "General, I don't care about your enmity with the Mumi Kingdom.
I want to ask you, how did you learn to summon and raise the Blue Flame Hell Turtle?
How?"
Learn to use its bone meal to kill people.”
Wan Tong was silent for a long time, and finally said: "My ancestor is a priest of the Jingjue Kingdom.
Her name is Mo Luo.

The Jingjue Kingdom has a secret technique to guard the royal tomb, which is to summon and raise the blue flames.
Turtle, keep them in the mausoleum.
It is extremely aggressive and usually appears in the desert at night to feed on bones.
During the day, they hide near the underground river to cool off.
They emit faint blue flames all over their bodies.
Anything that touches it will burn.
Once it penetrates the human body, the person will spontaneously combust to death.
Use its bone powder to use special After the medicinal materials are mixed and ground and put into wine, the human body of the drinker will spontaneously ignite as long as he is exposed to sunlight.”
Everyone present shuddered when they heard Wan Tong's narration.
Liu Chengdao: "I don't believe that your target is only King Mumi.
Are you ready to kill both me and the king here?"
Wan Tong smiled and said with a ferocious face: "Yes, I had this plan, but it's a pity that you discovered it too early.
If you give me a few more days, I will definitely kill you all this morning.
When I know When there was Queen Jingjue among these people, I guessed that I might have been targeted, because if there is anyone in the world who knows how to use the Blue Flame Nether Turtle to kill people, it could only be King Jingjue."
Liu Cheng looked at the Jingjue Queen Nagaya and the Shanshan Army Commander Jilan: "Queen Nagaya, General Jilan, this woman is related to you, what do you think should be done with her?"
Ji Lan immediately distanced himself from herself and pretended to kill relatives out of justice: "General, although this woman is related to me, she is too harmful.
The general believes that she should be killed immediately."
Nagaya also said: "It all depends on the general."
Liu Cheng nodded and waved: "Whoever comes, drag him down and behead him."
"Ah hahaha, why bother?"
Wan Tong laughed, and her body suddenly burst into flames, which was no different from the blue flame turtle bone meal poisoning.
She screamed and fell down from the burning, and soon turned into a pile of ashes.
Liu Cheng and everyone watched this scene with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
The kings all said their goodbyes and left, leaving only Liu Cheng and Nagaya in the hall.
At this time, Zhang Xiu came over and clasped his fists and said: "General, we have found the nest where Wan Tong keeps the blue flame turtle."
"There is an underground river just below the palace.
There is a large underground palace next to the underground river.
It seems that some people are buried.
There are a large number of blue flame turtles in the underground palace.
The general does not dare to take people to explore deeply."
Liu Cheng and Nagaya looked at each other and said, "Let's go down and have a look."
The entrance is behind a statue in a temple in the palace and is extremely secretive.
The underground space is not small, and I don't know if there is such a large cave in itself or if it was dug out of a manhole, but no traces of digging were found.
Liu Cheng and others held torches and walked about a hundred meters in the underground space before arriving at an underground river.
The gurgling water made a slight sound.
Opposite was an underground palace.
From a distance, there was a faint blue light, as if When they arrived in the dreamland, both Liu Cheng and Nagaya knew that it was the flame light emitted by the blue flame turtle.
This thing looked beautiful, but it was a murderous weapon.
The group of people gently crossed the underground river and came to the other side.
Nagaya said to Liu Cheng and others: "General, I have to remind you that you must never make any sound.
Once you make a sound and alert them, the consequences will be unimaginable.
They Not only can it crawl very fast, the adult blue flame turtle can also fly."
Liu Cheng stood still and looked from a distance.
He saw that the underground palace was full of blue flame turtles.
They exuded beautiful but terrifying blue fire.

The underground palace was composed of a shrine, and each shrine contained A mummy sat.
Liu Cheng asked: "Your Majesty the Queen, can you drive them?"
Nagaya turned to look at Liu Cheng, shook her head and said: "Although I have read the contents of this secret technique, I have never learned to use it, so I can't."
Liu Guo gave the order: "Go back to Zhang Xiu and find someone to completely seal the entrance."
Zhang Xiu clasped his fists and agreed: "I obey."
The group turned around and returned.
When they reached the underground river, Liu Cheng held a torch and was about to go into the water, but he saw the corpses of several beetles at his feet.
He squatted down and reached out to pick them up, "Is this the corpse of the blue flame turtle?"
Nagaya immediately stopped: "Stop, you can't use your hands."
Liu Cheng's hand stopped, and Nagaya squatted down, took out a dagger, picked up the beetle's body, and said, "Human hands are hot, and touching them may cause spontaneous combustion."
After saying that, Nagaya took out a jade box from her arms, opened it, put the body of the blue flame turtle inside, picked the remaining ones on the ground into the jade box, then closed the jade box and handed it to Liu Chengdao: "This is also considered a specialty here in the Western Region.
General, take it back and keep it as a memory.
But you must, must keep it well, and prevent anyone from using it to harm others, and people who don't understand this secret art must do it without permission."
It’s easy to play with fire and burn yourself when making bone meal, so remember that” Liu Cheng took the jade box and nodded, waving his hand and leading everyone out of the underground palace.
Zhang Xiu immediately asked someone to seal the entrance to prevent anyone from knowing the entrance and breaking in.
As soon as I came out of the underground palace and returned to the main hall, a small colonel came over with a soldier and reported: "General, General Pound sent someone to report."
The soldiers beside him clasped their fists and said: "General, General Pang sent a villain to report to the general.
We pursued King Anguo of Khotan and his party all the way.
We were blocked by his cavalry several times on the way, but we defeated them all.
Anguo did not Time stopped in the towns along the way and gathered troops.
We chased him all the way and fled to Shule Kingdom.
After the army reached the border, General Pound ordered to stop the pursuit and began to return to attack the towns along the way."
Liu Cheng frowned and said: "Oh, Anguo fled to the Shule Kingdom.
Isn't he afraid that King Shule will capture him and offer him to this general?"
Nagaya said: "I know this.
Anguo's eldest daughter is the queen of Shule King Jingpan.
Anguo has gone to seek refuge with his son-in-law.
Shuleguo is likely to send troops."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and then ordered to Zhang Xiu: "Go tell Xu Huang and order him to lead an army to attack other cities in Khotan.
If the defenders do not surrender, they will be killed."
"Yes" Zhang Xiu took the order and left.
In the next few days, the Han army attacked other towns in the Khotan Kingdom, and soon these towns raised their flags and surrendered.
This time, the strength of the Khotan Kingdom was weakened by more than half.
More than 10,000 people were killed, and more than 6,000 people were killed.
People surrender.
Liu Cheng also appointed Shi Jian, the eldest son of Dingxing, the original king of Kumi, as the new king of Khotan, and returned the land and population that had been taken away by Khotan twenty years ago to Khotan.
As a result, the people of Khotan had great dissatisfaction with Liu Cheng and the Han Dynasty.
The dynasty is grateful.
Under Liu Cheng's order, Xu Huang led his army and gathered all the 6,000 Khotan soldiers captured in Xicheng.
In addition to the more than 2,000 prisoners originally, there were more than 8,000 people in total.
He sent people to train these prisoners.
Let them obey military orders.
The Kingdom of Khotan could not live without a king and officials.
Liu Cheng also ordered a local businessman named Guren to be appointed as the new King of Khotan.
He also found several prestigious people from among the people to serve as officials to handle government affairs. , the framework of Khotan’s new bureaucratic system was thus erected
