Deposed Empress General

Chapter 178: Track down the murderer

Views:

While the woman was talking to herself, another man in a cloak came out from one end of the garden. Although his face could not be seen clearly, judging from his figure, he was probably a man.

"You guys are so ruthless, kill and silence!" The visitor's eyes were full of fear.

The woman said: "As long as you faithfully serve the master, you don't have to be afraid."

The visitor snorted and said: "I advise you to find out the situation. I am not doing things for you, we are just getting what we need from each other. I hope your master can fulfill his promise and let me be the prime minister."

The woman said: "I also ask you to clarify the promise that the master made with you at that time. She only said that she would help you become the prime minister, but she didn't say that she would definitely make you the prime minister. Whether you can become the prime minister depends on your ability and good luck. "

"Huh," the visitor snorted again, his eyes full of disdain, and he put his hands behind his back, "Looking at the ministers of the court, who can have more prestige than me? If I don't become the prime minister, then no one will Qualified."

"I hope what the emperor thinks!" The woman was silent for a while, and said to the assassin who killed the assassin just now, "It's past the five watch drum now, you should leave the city as soon as possible, the farther you can go, the better!"

The man said coldly: "Okay, I'll leave the city immediately!"

After saying that, the man took a few steps back and disappeared into the dark garden without a trace.

The eyes of the man in the cloak were startled again: "Why does your master know everyone! Who is this one who left?"

"Anyway, you are a good player, you don't need to know!"

After the woman finished speaking, she also took the maid and left the abandoned garden.

Besides, the man left the waste garden and headed straight for Beizhimen. At this time, the five watch drum had just passed, and many businessmen and travelers were queuing up to leave the city. The people from the patrol department opened the door wide and let everyone out of the city.

Seeing that he was about to go out, suddenly a fast horse arrived and shook the imperial decree in his hand.

"The emperor has a decree. Now we are tracking down the murderer who assassinated the prime minister and searching behind closed doors. All suspects should be arrested."

The man was startled, and hurriedly walked out from the queue with his head down. Just walking to the corner of the neighborhood, suddenly a voice shouted:

"stop!"

The man turned his back for a moment: Judging from the voice, the person who stopped him must have good internal strength. If there is a fight, he really has no chance of winning.

"Who are you?" The person behind him slowly approached, and a strong aura was slowly enveloping him. "Why are you so hasty? Could it be that you were the one who assassinated the prime minister?"

Suddenly, he turned half of his face, revealing a sinister smile, and at this moment, with a bang, and with a strong wind, a flash of light flew out of him. The people behind didn't even make a sound. He thought he had been killed by the dart, so he turned around triumphantly.

However, at this moment, a green sword stabbed straight at his throat like a green snake.

"Oh!"

He turned around like a carp, and dodged the sword in the future. At that time, he was already sweating profusely.

This sword strike was too fierce, if the opponent deliberately showed mercy, he would not be able to dodge it at all, and would have died long ago. But the dart he sent was caught between the opponent's fingers.

"Who are you?" He asked anxiously.

Yan Li shook his green sword and said with a smile, "Come to find the person who killed the prime minister! I think I'm right, that person is you!"

He said: "No... not me. The person who killed the prime minister is dead!"

"Dead?" Yan Li couldn't believe it, "How did he die?"

He said: "Killed by... by me!"

Anger flashed in Yan Li's eyes: "Why do you want to kill him? Oh, I see, kill to silence, don't you?"

"Since you know, why ask."

Yan Li's pupils contracted, and he looked at him vigilantly: "Since the person who killed the prime minister is dead, I have no choice but to take you to the emperor."

"Hmph, I'm afraid you're not qualified!"

He threw darts like spinning wheels with both hands, and the darts bit Yan Li like locusts. Yan Li swung the Qingzhi Sword like a shield, blocking all flying darts. Just listen to the sound of Dangdang.

More than 20 darts could not subdue Yan Li. He already knew the gap between himself and Yan Li in martial arts, and the only way now was to run away.

He made a gesture of attacking, Yan Li took a step back, taking advantage of this opportunity, he jumped out, turned and ran.

"If you want to run, unless I, Yan Li, die!"

Yan Li tiptoed, like a hungry tiger pouncing on his food, and flew towards his back. He had only taken a dozen steps before he was chased inside by Yan Li, with a green sword already resting on his neck.

"If you don't want to die, take me to see the dead assassin!" Yan Li said solemnly.

He had no choice but to take Yan Li to the abandoned garden in order to survive. In the pavilion, Yan Li saw the appearance of the assassin. Yan Li asked the officers and soldiers to take the assassin's body away so that he could be questioned by the emperor.

There is also a bag of gold on the table, which seems to be a reward. Yan Li picked up an ingot to look at it, and saw the words "Palace Silver" printed on the bottom of the gold. Explain that the instigator is someone from the palace, and Yan Li has no idea who it is.

Yan Li looked at the person beside him, his eyes were stern: "The assassin is dead, now I have to bring you back to Yushifu for interrogation, until you explain who the instigator is."

Plop, the man knelt down on the ground and begged, "It turned out to be Yan Yushi, disrespect and disrespect! If Yushi can let me go, I can tell you who is behind the scenes."

"Really?" Yan Li looked at the person in front of him cautiously.

The man said: "I... I can only tell you one person!"

"Say it!" Yan Li couldn't wait to know who was behind the scenes.

That person was about to get close to Yan Li, when suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind in the air, and it was only in the blink of an eye that the darts flying from nowhere had already killed the people around Yan Li! The pop watch pierces the throat, and the position is just right, it is really a master among masters.

I was about to know the answer when I saw it, but a black hand appeared at this time and broke the thread! Even though Yan Li usually had a particularly good self-cultivation, he was also furious at this time, holding the Qingzhi sword and looking around.

"Who is it? Which bastard, get out!"

But it was quiet all around, only the sound of the wind blowing into the forest.

Yan Li was greatly disappointed, and he could only blame himself for being too negligent.

"The cooked duck made it fly away, alas!"

Zheng!

Yan Li's sword slashed on the table, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

Yan Li quickly reported what happened to Li Hai, and when Li Hai heard that the person who killed the prime minister turned out to be someone from the palace, Long Yan couldn't help being furious and frowning.

"The people in the palace would actually do such a shameful thing! It's beyond my expectation."
