Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen also left the Black Dragon Pond and returned to their respective alchemy rooms, staying behind closed doors.
Early the next morning.
Lin Dian's grandfather discovered that the elixir fire from the treasure house had been stolen.
Combined with Lin Dian's strange behavior on the first day, it was natural to think that Lin Dian took it away.
But sending a message to Lin Dian was like a stone sinking into the sea.
In anger, Lin Dian's grandfather entered the temple in person, but found that Lin Dian was not there.
Immediately.
Grandpa Lin Dian contacted the Thirteenth Prince.
Because Lin Dian has the best relationship with the Thirteenth Prince.
With this connection, he was shocked to find that the Thirteenth Prince was also missing.
Soon, this incident alarmed the people in the imperial palace.
They asked around, but no one knew where the two of them had gone.
present.
They realized something was wrong.
After some investigation, they were horrified to find that the guards around the Thirteenth Prince were also missing.
thus.
People from the Lin family and the Imperial Palace concluded that the two men were in danger, and immediately sent people to investigate.
It was noon that day.
Suddenly someone sent news that the bodies of the Thirteenth Prince and Lin Dian were found in a barren mountain outside the city.
The prince and the son of Marquis Wu were killed. Is this okay
The news immediately spread in the capital like a plague.
In less than half an hour, everyone in the capital knew that the two men had been killed.
no doubt.
A big storm started.
Inner city!
In a magnificent mansion.
"Check it for me!"
"We must find out the real culprit who murdered Lin Dian!"
In a certain hall, an angry voice roared.
The owner of the voice is none other than Lin Dian’s father, Marquis Lin Wu!
Imperial Palace!
A golden shadow appeared in the sky above the Jinluan Palace.
As soon as this person appeared, a mighty imperial aura enveloped the entire imperial palace.
For a moment.
People all over the imperial palace knelt down and worshiped!
"The crime of murdering the prince deserves death!"
"Commander, I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly and find the real culprit!"
The golden shadow spoke lightly, filled with great majesty.
Whoosh!
The words have not yet finished.
A middle-aged man wearing golden armor soared into the sky, knelt in front of the golden shadow, and said respectfully: "I accept your order!"
The golden shadow then dissipated.
"Somebody come!"
The man in golden armor also stood up and shouted.
Whoosh! ! !
Another group of guards wearing black iron armor flew up into the sky and knelt on one knee in front of this person.
"Anyone who has any issues with the Thirteenth Prince will be investigated by this commander."
"I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"
The man in golden armor shouted, with an astonishing chilling air in his words.
"As commanded."
The guards responded respectfully, dispersed in all directions, and disappeared quickly.
"This is the first prince to be killed since the emperor succeeded to the throne. Who could it be?"
"Who has such courage?"
The man in golden armor frowned and disappeared without a trace.
…
"Go ahead and tell me that no one is allowed to mess around outside until the cause of the death of the Thirteenth Prince is found out."
The major Wuhou Mansion also issued death orders to their own disciples.
Because they all saw that things were about to change in the imperial capital.
…
evening!
Two guards wearing black iron armor descended over the Dan Palace out of thin air, their powerful momentum undisguised.
The white-haired old man who was guarding the Alchemy Palace hurriedly ran to the center of the square, bowed and said, "I have met these two adults."
The disciples of the Alchemy Hall who were coming and going were even more bent over, not daring to express their anger.
Uh-huh! !
The two people landed in the square and said expressionlessly: "Take us to see Qin Feiyang."
"Qin Feiyang?"
The white-haired old man was slightly startled, then cupped his hands and said, "May I ask you two adults, what do you want to see Qin Feiyang for?"
One of them frowned and said, "Are you qualified to ask about my Black Iron Army's affairs?"
"Don't dare."
"Two adults, follow me."
The white-haired old man shrank his neck and quickly led the two of them into the Alchemy Palace.
"Strange, why did the Black Iron Army come to Qin Feiyang?"
"Did he commit something?"
"It shouldn't be. Qin Feiyang has been practicing in the alchemy room. How could he have committed a crime?"
"I heard that the Black Iron Army is investigating the death of the Thirteenth Prince and Lin Dian. They came to find Qin Feiyang. Could it be related to Qin Feiyang?"
"It's impossible. Qin Feiyang is just a bumpkin from Lingzhou. He definitely doesn't have the courage."
The disciples gathered in the square were discussing in low voices.
Alchemy room!
Qin Feiyang is copying the killing formula in the castle.
Boom! !
Sudden.
There was a knock on the door.
"Qin Feiyang, the Black Iron Army is here to ask questions. Come out quickly."
The voice of the white-haired old man also entered the castle.
"Dark Iron Army!"
Qin Feiyang's arm trembled.
The fat man opened his eyes and asked: "Boss, what is the Black Iron Army?"
"The Black Iron Army is specifically responsible for maintaining order in the Imperial Palace, and everyone has super strength."
"They are also commonly known as Ouchi guards."
"And the leader of the Black Iron Army is one of the emperor's confidants."
"The arrival of the Black Iron Army means that the death of the Thirteenth Prince has alarmed the Emperor."
Qin Feiyang said.
The fat man warned: "Then you have to be careful."
"Do not worry!"
"They haven't found evidence yet, otherwise they wouldn't be here to question, but to arrest."
Qin Feiyang smiled coldly and left the castle. With a thought in his mind, the stone door of the alchemy room slowly opened.
The white-haired old man led the two people into the alchemy room, pointed at Qin Feiyang, and said, "He is Qin Feiyang."
then.
He looked at Qin Feiyang again and said, "Next, you must answer every question from the two adults honestly."
"Disciple understands."
Qin Feiyang nodded, looked at the two black-armored guards, cupped his hands and said, "Please make it clear, sir."
One of them said: "Did you know that the Thirteenth Prince and Lin Dian, the son of Marquis Lin Wu, were murdered?"
"kindness?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "How is it possible? Who dares to murder them?"
"you do not know?"
The two frowned.
"This disciple has been practicing in seclusion, so I only know it now."
"Two adults, when did they die and where were they found?"
Qin Feiyang's face was full of surprise.
"Outside the city, judging from the wounds on their bodies, they should have been killed yesterday morning."
One of them said.
"Outside the city?"
"Then how did you determine that they were murdered?"
"What if I die by the claws of a vicious beast?"
Qin Feiyang frowned.
"If they were killed by a ferocious beast, they would definitely ask us for help."
"And before they died, they didn't have any signal for help."
"Furthermore, His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince also brings two bodyguards with him, both of whom are from the Nine-Star War Sect."
"And where they were killed, there were no such powerful beasts."
"It's clear enough that they were murdered."
"Also, we found no traces of fighting at the scene, so we concluded that the murderer was an acquaintance of theirs."
"Kill them when they are not prepared."
Two black-armored guards said.
Qin Feiyang suddenly said: "That's it, who is that? So bold?"
"That's exactly why we came to you."
"As far as we know from our investigation, they had the most contact with you before they died."
"Besides, there is a big feud between you."
"So, we have reason to suspect that you may be the real murderer."
The two black-armored guards said solemnly, with cold light shining in their eyes.
"I?"
Qin Feiyang pointed to his nose and said in panic: "Two adults, this is a crime of beheading, you can't talk nonsense!"
One of them said: "Well, let me ask you, where were you yesterday?"
"I was at the main pavilion of Zhenbao Pavilion all day yesterday!"
Qin Feiyang said.
"Sure?"
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you lie to us?"
There was evil in the eyes of the two guards.
"I am sure."
"If you don't believe it, you two adults can go to the main cabinet to investigate."
Qin Feiyang said.
"Okay, you come with us to the main pavilion."
One of them waved his hand and opened a portal.
"OK."
Qin Feiyang nodded and stepped directly into the portal.
"So simple?"
"Is it really not him?"
The two guards looked at each other and followed suit.
Main Pavilion.
In the study room.
Since it was already evening and the auction had ended, Sun Dahai was sitting at his desk, immersed in accounting.
Sudden.
He sensed three auras coming to the study, and immediately looked up and saw Qin Feiyang standing in front of him.
A full smile immediately appeared on the old face, and he stood up to say hello.
But when he saw the two guards behind Qin Feiyang, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly said: "I have seen these two adults."
One of them said: "We came to the main cabinet to investigate the death of the Thirteenth Prince and Lin Dian."
Sun Dahai felt a chill in his heart. He walked up to the three of them, glanced at Qin Feiyang suspiciously, looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "You two, feel free to ask."
"According to Qin Feiyang's account, he was in your main cabinet yesterday. Is it true?"
"Don't lie to us, because we are ordered by the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly."
The two said.
"Don't dare."
Sun Dahai quickly waved his hand and said: "Yesterday, Qin Feiyang was indeed in our main pavilion and did not leave until the evening."
The two guards frowned.
One of them asked: "What did you do in the main cabinet yesterday?"
Qin Feiyang said: "Of course I'm here to buy medicinal materials."
The man frowned and said, "Then why does it take all day?"
"My lords, please forgive me for offending my junior. This is a strange question."
"How long can I stay here? It seems to be my freedom, right?"
"If you suspect that the juniors killed them, you must rely on real evidence."
"Besides, you also said that the guards around the thirteenth prince are nine-star war sects, and this junior is only a two-star war sect. Do you have this ability?"
Qin Feiyang said neither humble nor arrogantly.
The two of them stared at Qin Feiyang in silence for a long time.
Seeing that Qin Feiyang really showed no signs of lying, he looked away.
One of them raised his hand and said, "Sorry to bother you."
"fine."
"If you still have any questions to ask in the future, feel free to come to the junior, and the junior will definitely cooperate fully."
Qin Feiyang smiled lightly.
"OK."
"Goodbye then."
After the two of them finished speaking, they opened the portal and turned to leave.
