Liu Qi didn't leave immediately after killing Nie Xiang, but deliberately made some traces to guide several groups of people who followed him to the corpse.
Several waves of people who followed him lived up to expectations, and really followed the traces left by Liu Qi.
"Captain, Liu Qi's breath disappeared near here, it should be not far from here."
Several figures appeared at the entrance of the lane where Nie Xiang died.
"There are actually a few corpses here... This is... Nie Xiang, the son of Tai Fu! And why did he just die here?" Several people in black saw the three corpses and immediately distinguished Nie Xiang's identity. After all, Nie Xiang is not too big or young, and his fame is not too small.
"Son of the Taifu, say the big or not, say the small! The key is the Taifu, the Taifu is the teacher of the prince, this kid just died here, it seems that things are not easy! It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, you have to leave! "A few people in black knew that things were not easy, and they hurriedly prepared to evacuate from here.
But when they were about to leave, a few more figures passed by
"You are so courageous, you dare to assassinate the son of the Tai Fu in the imperial city! We are the imperial law enforcers, you'd better be obedient and catch them!" Several imperial city guards pointed at several men in black and shouted sharply.
"The son of the Tai Fu was not killed by us. We were already dead when we got here!"
"Huh! Strong words, if you are not doing evil, why do you wear night clothes! Don't talk nonsense, catch these thieves!"
Suddenly, the guards of the imperial city fought with a few men in black.
The man in black was tracking Liu Qi, and had no intention of fighting with the guards. Of course, he didn't want to fight, so he evacuated quickly.
Several waves of other people who followed Liu Qi observed this situation secretly, and of course they would not mix it with it. It is not a trivial matter that the son of Tai Fu died inexplicably, and they had to report the matter back to their own camps.
Liu Qi was also observing the matter in the dark. He saw a few men in black being chased by the guards of the imperial city, and he laughed immediately: "Let you follow the tightest, and now Nie Xiang’s death will have to make you a scapegoat, regardless of you. Which force you belong to, I am here to thank you for a little bit."
Subsequently, Liu Qi also left here leisurely, and then returned to the general's mansion.
There are several considerations why Liu Qi did this.
First of all, to divert the attention of others, Nie Xiang's people were killed after stalking Liu Qi. According to common sense, everyone would first suspect Liu Qi. Liu Qi brought the man in black over and made the imperial law enforcers mistakenly believe that the man in black did it. No matter which force the man in black was destined to be the first suspect, the trouble was to make the man in black bear the blame. . In the past when he was in the Holy Realm, Liu Qi didn't do such things less.
Secondly, Liu Qi does not want to reveal his strength for the time being. Now his strength is meager and he can protect himself in general. However, if someone assassinates Liu Qi at all costs, Liu Qi's current body refining mirror's five-fold strength is not enough to see, even if he sends a Qi Refining Realm. The master Liu Qi couldn't stand it.
Finally, Liu Qi deliberately created chaos in the imperial city. As the saying goes, muddy waters are good for fish. The more chaotic the situation, Liu Qi feels safer. Liu Qi is used to winning in chaos and strengthening in chaos.
Killing a Nie Xiang will kill three birds with one stone. This is Liu Qi's strategy.
…
Several people in black who were pursued by the guards of the imperial city kept evading the guards' chase and scurried around in the imperial city, finally evading all the eyeliners of the guards, and finally went around to the Zuixianglou and sneaked in.
"Girl Hongye, I'm sorry, the mission failed. We failed to detect any news about Liu Qi, please be punished!" Several people in black came to Hongye, kneeling on the ground and respectfully confessed their mistakes.
Hong Ye sat in front of the dressing table, drew Liu Ye eyebrows unhurriedly, her enchanting eyes blinking non-stop: "Why failed?"
"The young man came across the body of Taifu's son Nie Xiang while tracking Liu Qi. The guards of the imperial city appeared nearby. They believed that we had assassinated Nie Xiang and pursued them, so we had to give up the mission." The man in black was ashamed. Said.
Hongye stopped moving, then narrowed those seductive eyes, and asked faintly: "You said you happened to meet Nie Xiang's corpse? You also happened to meet the guards of the imperial city?"
"Yes!"
"A coincidence may be a real coincidence, and two coincidences together are inevitable! You were led by someone or a force." Hongye said slowly, and a single sentence directly hit the key. If Liu Qi is here, it will definitely be. Praise this woman for her delicate mind.
Hongye paused and continued to ask: "Let you follow Liu Qi, why did you meet Nie Xiang's corpse?"
"Because there are many forces following Liu Qi in the middle, we can't go too aggressively. We lost some way along the way, and finally followed the traces of Liu Qi and then met Nie Xiang's body. I am afraid everyone now thinks that we assassinated too much. Son of Fu!"
Hearing this answer, Hong Ye frowned slightly. She put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand and slowly stood up and thought about it: "There are two possibilities. One is that there are other forces that deliberately get us into the trouble of this matter. Another possibility is... This is Liu Qi's single-handed director!"
"Liu Qi is the single-handed director? He is just a dude, not to mention whether there is such a strategy. Does he have the ability to kill the fourth-tier Nie Xiang and two fifth-tier body-refining mirrors? All in the imperial city. Everyone knows that Liu Qi doesn't even have a refining mirror!"
"I am also very puzzled about this, nothing! In that case, let the investigation of Liu Qi temporarily put down and continue to implement our plan. Although this happens, it will not affect the overall situation, but will have a considerable promotion effect on the overall situation!" A ray of wisdom flashed in Hongye's eyes.
"Yes, Hongye girl!"
After speaking, several people in black walked away.
Hongye pushed open the window of the room, and some cold night wind blew a corner of her veil. If anyone was here, she would definitely be stunned by the beauty of that corner.
"The wind is blowing..."
…
"It's not good, it's not good! The big thing is not good!"
At this time, a panting voice shouted to Tai Fu Nie Zhongqiang in the Tai Fu mansion.
"Why is it so panic, what big things can happen now?" Nie Zhongqiang disapproved, staring at the person and asked.
"Too... Master Tai Fu, it's not good! The son... The son is dead!" the servant said cautiously. ,
"What? What are you talking about? Which son are you talking about?" Nie Zhongxiang's expression changed and he roared angrily.
"It's... the son of Master Tai Fu's..., his body was discovered by the guards of the imperial city, and now... he has just been sent to the front of the house."
"How is this possible, hurry, take me there!"
Nie Zhongqiang and his servants came to the gate of the mansion together. Sure enough, several of the servants were taking over Nie Xiang's corpse from the guards of the imperial city. Seeing his son's corpse, Nie Zhongqiang almost fainted. If he hadn't been supported by his subordinates, he would have fallen straight down.
"Master Tai Fu, please be sorrowful and change." The guard in charge of transporting the corpse arched his hands and sighed.
"This... what the hell is going on, why, why is this..." Nie Zhongqiang walked tremblingly in front of his son, touched his son's cold body, his voice became hoarse.
"We were patrolling the Moss Street in the Imperial City and heard some movement, so we went to investigate and found the bodies of a few people in black and the noble son. So we chased a few people in black, and those people in black. The strength is so strong that we can't keep up. The last few people in black disappeared near the Zuixianglou. Presumably this matter has a lot to do with the Zuixianglou."
"Drunk Xianglou... Drunk Xianglou..." Nie Zhongqiang murmured, and finally burst into tears, and shouted, "Duixianglou, you wait for me, I must avenge my son! You group Bastard, I took away Lao Tzu's only son. No matter what the price, Lao Tzu will make you pay! Ah!!!"
"Master Taifu, please rest assured, those people wantonly murder in the imperial city, it's simply innocent. Our imperial city guards will not stand idly by, and will definitely return your son to justice and thoroughly investigate this matter!" Said.
"Son, Xiang'er..." Nie Zhongqiang had no thought of anything else, and threw himself in front of his son's body and cried.
The guardian of the imperial city shook his head, then sighed and said goodbye...
…
Grand General’s Mansion, Liu Qi has already arrived in front of the mansion, but the front of the General’s Mansion is brightly lit, and a group of fully armed soldiers are standing at the door. General Liu Qitian.
"Liu Qi, did you have a good time today?" Liu Qitian asked Liu Qi unhurriedly when he saw Liu Qi walking by, but his face was expressionless.
"Aha, not bad, very happy, huh..." Liu Qi touched his head and smiled. According to memory, it seems that this general is caring and strict with his grandson. If this battle tonight had been in the past, it would not end well. .
"Happy!? I'm afraid that only you kid can tell. How many times the old man told you not to leave the general's mansion casually. The outside world is very dangerous. Have your ears grown behind your head?" Liu Qitian Staring at Liu Qi, roared angrily.
Liu Qi wiped the saliva on his face. He could feel the general's care for him. Of course, he knew that this was actually for the original owner of the body, but now he has completely integrated with this body, which means that the general Is his grandfather.
In the last life, Liu Qi was lonely and rarely cared. Now that someone caring for him inexplicably, Liu Qi still feels warm in his heart, although the love is somewhat different.
"Of course I listened, otherwise I won't come back safe and sound, will I?"
"Um... It seems to make sense... No, you kid, you're playing tricks with me again! What does it mean to come back safe and sound? Do you know that something big happened in the imperial city tonight! That son of a master was assassinated, it's okay. You weren't the one who assassinated. Do you know how worried the old man is?"
"Huh?! That kid Nie Xiang is dead, really dead?" Liu Qi blinked as if he didn't know the matter at all.
Liu Qitian squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Qi, then he said to Liu Qi with his white beard: "Liu Qi, to be honest, why did the guard following you suddenly lose your track? It's best to be honest!"
