Concubine Huang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Bengong let you come today because Igong invited the emperor to a place to watch the competition in front of the imperial palace. But I heard that it's not very peaceful recently. You know that in recent years, Igong has not been very concerned about it. In the affairs of the harem, the only one who can be trusted is you. Are you willing to take a look at the scene for this palace and check if it is safe?"
Bai Lian thought that this was the case, and respectfully said, "This servant will do it now."
Suddenly, he thought to himself: The imperial competition? That's not where the guy is... hum! Ming is not true!
Chapter 19 The end of love is inexplicably sad
"...Xiao, are you okay?"
Su Xiao stared at me blankly, holding a plate of peanut beans in his hand, blinking his eyes: "I'm fine. Brother Ming, why are you so anxious? I have beans, do you want to eat them?" Then he looked around. In a circle, "Where did you come from? There is a big open space around here. How did you jump out of nowhere?"
I said angrily: "You idiot! Scare me!" Since the frightened mood has not yet calmed down, the voice is louder than I imagined.
"Don't, don't yell so loudly, it's a shame!!"
It would be a shame if Su Xiao was assassinated under my guard!
The killing methods of the Killing Alliance are endless. Qilinwei and the king's side have successive accidents. Today, it is the turn of the six doors. I really can't rest assured.
I raised Su Xiao's smooth and smooth chin, put a finger on his neck and tried to pulse. Well, no poisoning. Input a line of infuriating energy to circulate in his body, and he doesn't think there is any strange sign. This relieved me a little. If you are poisoned by a poison, it will be too late even if you want to save it.
Su Xiao was pressed by me on his slender and graceful neck, as if he had become a child who was asked by his parents if he had a fever, and his cheeks turned slightly red: "Brother Ming?"
It should be fine, no, don't worry.
"Come on, give uncle a circle."
"Fuck you! What's wrong with you?" Su Xiao asked inexplicably: "Why are you so weird? Did you have a fever again? Um... Why is your mouth red?"
Oh, nothing, I just had a relationship that was less than a cup of tea, just forcibly kissing a passing girl.
… In fact, that incident remains a mystery to this day. Why am I suddenly losing my cool? Why would you do such an outrageous thing? Still can't understand it. It was obvious that something was wrong with me at the time.
"This, this..." I blinked and said with difficulty: "I just walked too fast and bumped into it. But what happened? Our people died?"
"Our people? No."
What? Didn't it say that the city gate was attacked by the Thirteen Wings of Heifeng, and three people died from the six gates
"It's all wrong." Su Xiao shook his head: "The eunuch who sent the message to you was in a panic, and I think he was also frightened. It wasn't the gate of the city, it was in the ring of the outer imperial city. Someone suddenly attacked and killed three people just now. A unicorn guard."
I looked at the arena not far away. There were bloodstains on it. The bodies of the three people who were killed were still lying sideways on the arena. There was a circle of palace guards around, apparently maintaining the scene. Most of the audience around were the children of the royal family and nobles, as well as the servants in the palace. They seemed to be horrified by the images of the previous killings, and they all looked horrified.
I looked at them, the only thought, and then said to Su Xiao: "Xiao, go and transfer a team of people with Liu Yuan. Ask each of these audiences what they saw just now? Don't let go of even the slightest clue."
"Go now? Why?" Su Xiao blinked, "We have so few people, why don't we guard the city gate?"
I said decisively: "More than half of the audience here are relatives of the royal family. Once this matter is over, it will have to be investigated again. No one will want to recall such a thing, and the investigation will be very difficult. Close the door. Get things done now and leave the time for later.”
"Oh, oh, well, I'll go now." Su Xiao ate a bean and said with admiration: "Brother Ming, you are really human when you are serious!"
Nonsence! Can this kid speak
As soon as Su Xiao left, someone called me from behind.
"Big brother." Tang Ye walked over with a solemn expression, quickly shoved something into my palm, and said in a low voice, "I found it around the corpse."
Obviously, this thing needs to be turned in as evidence, so Tang Ye was very careful when he gave it to me.
It was a red cloth strip that was as scarlet as blood plasma, but there were only eight characters using a real blood book on it. After a long time, the blood turned black, which was particularly eye-catching on this cloth strip.
The eight characters are: "Chengjun's advice, hereby return."
Murder and leave a note
It seems that it is the people who killed the alliance.
They originally killed one person a day, but I heard that the king stopped their killing yesterday. So they not only made up the share of yesterday and today, but also killed one more for interest. Treating human life like grass is indeed the true nature of killing the alliance.
"What was the detailed situation just now? Did you see it?"
Tang Ye nodded: "Just when it was about your turn to play, Su Xiao went to call you. As soon as he left, a team of banned troops came. They said they wanted to strengthen security."
The security here in the ring is the responsibility of the Imperial City Imperial Army, so this is not surprising.
"But after the banned army entered the ring, I immediately saw something wrong. Their uniforms were of different sizes, and many of them didn't fit well. And when I counted the number, it happened to be thirteen."
"Heifeng Thirteen Wings?" I said with some doubts: "They directly disguised as the Imperial Army? This is difficult... Yes, they have brains. They don't need to pretend to be like, as long as they cheat for a while."
"That's right!" Tang Ye said remorsefully, "I didn't see it right away, but let them enter the arena. They only took the first step and immediately attacked the warriors in the arena. The three were caught off guard. He was killed without even seeing anyone. Those thirteen people came and went like the wind, and once they killed someone, they turned away immediately. The prince sent the forbidden army to chase, but…”
"Forbidden army?" This is not right. There are six gates and so many imperial warriors, how to send a forbidden army? What is 123's mind thinking
But right away I understood again.
The court warriors were killed in the Outer Imperial City, which has lost all face of the court. The prince was afraid that the six gate warriors would chase after him and let more people die, and his head would not be protected. Sure enough, the people in the palace are very familiar with Mingzhe's way of protecting himself.
Tang Ye said: "There are not many people in the Imperial Army who can master martial arts, so they can't catch up with them. Now they have escaped without a trace. I am worried that the gate of the Outer Imperial City will go wrong again, so I have to stay there."
It feels even weirder.
There's an eerie feeling to the whole thing.
The principle of killing the alliance is to use money to kill people, and it is definitely an expensive price to scare people to death. Who is so idle to pay to kill some court warriors? The seven who died before and the three today are not big people.
It's enough to kill the first seven, but these three people were killed in the imperial city... Who is tired of slapping the emperor's face all day long? Who will the killer be? What good would it do for him to fight against the court in this way
I haven't been able to clear my mind yet, and another person is coming.
"Brother Ming, why are you here? Aren't you at Xiaonanmen?"
The prince's 'charming' voice floated into my ears, and I couldn't help shaking my body.
"Your Highness, you are here..."
Looking back, not only did the prince arrive, but also another person.
I don't want to forget her. Isn't this the girl in white who just talked to me about love for a short cup of tea
what's the situation
Did she expose me to the prince? !
It doesn't look like it, but Wang Gonggong said in a friendly manner: "Ming Xiaoge, this is Bai Eunuch Bai. Her old man is now managing the affairs of the imperial contest for me. Come and see her old man."
The 'Girl in White' looked bad and sneered: "You don't even know how to greet someone, so it's not a rule."
Tang Ye said naturally: "I have seen Eunuch Bai."
