Not far from the entrance of Juxian Pavilion, Min Qiu was standing at the base of the wall with his head lowered. Although he lowered his head, his eyes kept falling on the main entrance of Juxian Pavilion. He saw with his own eyes that the second prince and the third prince went in one after another. Min Qiu looked at one of them, and always felt that the figure was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Not long after the two princes entered, Min Qiu was guarding the door, thinking carefully about where he had seen this person. He has not seen many strangers in the capital. If it is not his delusion, it must have been seen in the north. But everyone in the Northern Army was a soldier, and it was impossible for anyone to return to the capital, but instead served as a servant to the prince.
If that person had been serving in the palace all the time, and could meet him Min Qiu... I am afraid that only the eldest prince who had been killed and the servants he brought by his side. The more he thought about it, the more certain he had seen the figure of one of them, but if he looked closely at his appearance, that person was really unremarkable, without the slightest impression.
Thinking of this, Min Qiu suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the key point in it for a while. At the entrance of Juxian Pavilion, Min Qiu was not the only one who came to watch from the Xue family. In order to prevent the wrong news, Xue Ziqin specially arranged a total of three people to disguise and guard the front and rear doors of Juxian Pavilion. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Min Qiu glanced at the person who was also watching not far away, and then quietly walked over: "You immediately ask the general to bring troops here."
"Why?"
"You go." Min Qiu said in a deep voice, patted him on the shoulder, "Hurry up."
"Yes."
After sending someone to leave, Min Qiu changed the cautiousness he had been monitoring before, but instead swaggered and walked past the main entrance of Juxian Pavilion.
The person he suspected just glanced at him lightly, as if he had never seen him before, with no unnecessary reaction at all. Could it be that I remembered it wrong, but people are similar? Min Qiu couldn't help but wonder. But if it is really the servant of the eldest prince in the past, and now follows the second prince or the third prince, then the truth about the murder of the eldest prince will probably come to light.
Min Qiu thought so, I'm afraid he would have to try some more to come to a conclusion. He walked straight to the Juxian Pavilion and said to the two attendants at the door: "The next one was sent by General Wei to greet General Qin, please go in and let me know."
Min Qiu bowed his hands first, then put his hands down and walked forward. He stepped out, deliberately making himself empty the steps, and immediately rushed towards the person he suspected.
"We..." The man said before he finished speaking, he was frightened by the sudden situation, and subconsciously reached out to pick up Min Qiu. Min Qiu lowered his head and used his strength to stand firm. After he stood firm, the man immediately withdrew his hand. He glanced hastily, only to see that the man's hand seemed to be injured, and a thick bandage was wrapped around his palm.
"I'm being rude, sorry." Min Qiu said again.
The man waved his hand casually, and then said, "We are not from Juxian Pavilion, so we can't inform you. Now that there are nobles inside, it's better not to disturb the nobles."
"I see," Min Qiu smiled embarrassedly, "I'll come back later, I'll disturb the two of you."
"nothing."
Min Qiu went around to the side of Juxian Pavilion, where Xue Ziqin would come, carefully waiting for Xue Ziqin to come. Xue Ziqin moved very fast, and in less than a stick of incense, he had already arrived with two teams. Min Qiu saw him from afar, and went up to stop the person, for fear that the movement would disturb the suspicious person in front of the door.
"General."
"Speak." Xue Ziqin frowned, "But Qin Mu has a move."
"No, I will see the second prince and the third prince come to Juxian Pavilion one after another, and they haven't left yet."
"so what?"
"I don't know which of the prince's attendants, the last general seems to have seen his figure in the army, but he can't confirm it." Min Qiu said in a deep voice, "Although his appearance is not familiar, he does have an impression of his body shape. Going to test it out for a while, he doesn't seem to have any memory of the last commander."
Although Min Qiu didn't know the key, Xue Ziqin knew it. He also sent people in the capital to investigate the matter that Wei Lin had greeted him before, but he did not find any clues. If Min Qiu wasn't 100% sure that he had actually seen this person, he would never make a big move to call him over.
Thinking of this, Xue Ziqin hurriedly asked, "Can you see that person, is it Six Fingers?"
Min Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, "He gave me a hand earlier, but the six fingers were not seen, but his palm was wrapped in bandages."
When Xue Ziqin heard the words, he immediately raised his mouth with a wicked smile: "It's really easy to come by. Come on, follow me to arrest people."
Cen Lijiang came out of Juxian Pavilion and handed over the long box in his hand: "Qin Mu will give you this sword if he doesn't accept it."
The two walked down the stairs at the door one after the other and walked back to the palace. The attendant said: "Thank you, Your Highness, but the servants are learning how to escape, and have no attainments in swordsmanship."
"Then find an opportunity to send it to the Wei House." Cen Lijiang said, "After all, the Wei family has always supported Cen Lishang, and now it's time for us to show our hearts."
"Yes."
The two were talking, when a messy footstep sounded behind them.
Taking advantage of Cen Lijiang's turn around, the two teams brought by Xue Ziqin had already trotted fast to surround them. The attendant was startled, and put his hand on the box into his sleeve. Cen Lijiang recognized the leader Xue Ziqin at a glance. Although he was surprised, he still smiled and said, "What does General Xue mean?"
Xue Ziqin smiled, holding the soft sword he usually wrapped around his waist in his hand, and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince." After he finished speaking, the soft sword stabbed towards the waist and abdomen of the attendant.
How could the attendant know that the other party would suddenly attack? People who have been practicing martial arts for many years reacted very quickly.
Xue Ziqin's action immediately gave the other soldiers a signal. In an instant, long knives were unsheathed against him in all directions of the attendants. No matter which direction he wanted to go, he had to deal with the weapons in front of him first.
Xue Ziqin acted decisively, and the people under his hands were well-trained. No one took the second prince in his eyes. They only regarded the second prince as the same target, and they faced each other with swords so that they could not move. The attendant looked a little flustered, and immediately looked up at the surrounding scenery, as if looking for a way out.
At this moment, Xue Ziqin flicked his wrist, and the soft sword attacked again, but it was not one sword, but three swords. Rao is that the attendant has the ability to escape, and once again in a desperate situation, he can't avoid the attack. The soft sword finally cut a very long slit in his abdomen, and the bleeding immediately continued.
"General Xue, what are you doing!" Cen Lijiang's face was very ugly, "If you can't come up with a reason, I will definitely ask for an explanation!"
"Second prince, forgive me." Xue Ziqin casually accepted the soft swordsmanship, "This person is very good at escaping, and this minister is just taking precautions!"
Hearing Xue Ziqin's words, Cen Lijiang knew that the matter had been exposed. He always carried a self-defense dagger in his sleeve, which was specially made for him. It was very small, but extremely sharp. He squeezed his wrist nervously, already grasping the hilt of the dagger.
The attendant was injured, and naturally it was impossible to move freely. Xue Ziqin took a step forward and grabbed his hand, and the long box fell to the ground, revealing the sword inside. That hand was indeed wrapped with a thick bandage, and Xue Ziqin rudely pulled it apart, revealing that there were no strange fingers inside.
But at the back of his tail finger, there was obviously a new injury on the palm.
"You thought you could hide your whereabouts if you cut off your finger. No wonder you couldn't find you in the city. You were still hiding in the palace." Xue Ziqin said with a smile, and then folded his wrist, which actually dislocated his wrist. .
The attendant groaned, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Xue Ziqin continued, "Take the person down for me." After he finished speaking, Min Qiu hurriedly went up to hold the person and folded his hands behind him. I already know that the other party is good at escaping, so this time he must not have another chance to escape.
"Second prince, isn't it very dangerous to be with such a person." Xue Ziqin squinted his phoenix eyes and said with a very dangerous aura: "He is probably the real murderer of the first prince, for the sake of safety, the second prince is still Hurry back to the palace, people, we will take it away."
After Xue Ziqin finished speaking, he waved his hand casually, and the group immediately pressed the attendant to leave.
Cen Lijiang was trembling with anger, and his hand was already clenching the dagger in his sleeve. Just as the attendant was detained by Min Qiu and passed by him, he and the attendant looked at each other deeply.
What kind of temperament is his confidant, he is very clear, he is definitely not the kind of person who can withstand severe torture. Once he spit out something real, he would lose completely at this moment of life and death. Cen Lijiang's mind flashed through his various endings after the incident was revealed, and his body had already moved first.
He slammed into the attendant fiercely, the dagger was completely pulled out from his sleeve, and stabbed at the key point of the attendant with lightning speed.
Just when the tip of his dagger had pierced the flesh of the attendant's back, Cen Lijiang's knife could not score any further, because his wrist had been pinched with great strength and could not move.
Xue Ziqin said with a smile: "Second prince is careful to dislocate, the minister's hand is too strong, and the control is not good."
"you!"
"Second Prince alone is very inconvenient, after all, he is outside the palace," Xue Ziqin ignored his anger, and the smugness on his face was even more concealed, "Do you need me to send someone to take you back to the palace?"
Even though his emotions were on the verge of getting out of control, Cen Lijiang only brought such a confidant out of the palace, and he couldn't confront Xue Ziqin head-on.
Years of keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile made him calm down immediately. He couldn't laugh, at least he didn't look angry anymore. He shook off Xue Ziqin's hand and said, "No need."
After speaking, he walked away.
Xue Ziqin looked at his back, his face sank, and said coldly in a voice that was almost inaudible by others: "Live your last few happy days."
"Min Qiu, press the person to the general's mansion; you go to the palace and report to Commander Wei, saying that the man has been caught and ask him to come to the general's mansion to lead him."
"Yes!"
