Chapter 39: The Protective Junior Sister, Ling Yaner's Speculation
"Drag down."
"Bury it somewhere random."
After the goalkeeper stopped breathing and was strangled to death.
The butler frowned, gave a few instructions, and then left and returned to the palace.
As for the guards at the city gate.
The moment they made their move, he consciously turned away and ignored them.
but.
What they don't know is.
Everything that happened at the city gate today was seen by three figures hiding in the dark.
"Sister."
Ling Yan'er looked at the servants in Prince Wu's mansion.
The scene of dragging the goalkeeper's body out of the city, dumping it in a pothole and leaving.
In that pair of black eyes.
A hint of coldness flashed across his face as he said, "This King Wu is really bold. He actually allowed the servants in his mansion to murder the captain of the city gate in public."
"No wonder Senior Sister asked us to come to Xingqing Mansion to secretly monitor King Wu. In my opinion, King Wu is so bold and reckless, he must be harboring evil intentions and will rebel sooner or later." Ling Yan'er said, having already decided to keep a close eye on King Wu.
If the King of Wu shows any sign of rebellion.
Report to the senior sister immediately.
Ruan Surong nodded slightly when she heard this, but did not speak, instead she frowned.
I thought of the past.
Xu Chu did not give the King of Wu any face at all.
"Envoy Li Zhen."
Ruan Surong looked to one side and saw the pacification envoy Li Changqing who came to contact the two of them.
He frowned and asked, "Do you know anything about Xu Chu?"
Facing Ruan Surong's question.
Li Changqing did not dare to neglect.
He bowed and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, I don't know much about this person."
"but."
"This person is very powerful. Not only is he at the peak of the Celestial Realm, he is also known as the number one person under the Heavenly Man Realm. He once killed a sword master in the White Lotus Sect who was half a step into the Heavenly Man Realm with a single sword strike." Li Changqing said this with an especially solemn tone.
"Killing a half-step celestial being with one sword?"
After hearing this, Ling Yan'er's pretty face was filled with shock and asked, "Is this true?"
Li Changqing nodded and said, "This should be true."
"So strong."
With the approval of Li Changqing.
Ruan Surong couldn't hide her shock.
The peak of the Celestial Realm is not scary. There are also several elders in the Qingyuan Sword Sect who are at this level.
But the scary thing is.
This person can kill a half-step celestial being with one sword strike.
"I don't know what this person's personality is like, and whether he's easy to get along with." Ruan Surong murmured, thinking about the task that the senior sister asked them to do, to try to get in touch with Xu Chu.
I just felt a little frightened.
All strong people have more or less bad tempers, of course there are exceptions.
But exceptions are exceptions after all, aren't they?
"Don't worry, my lord."
I can see Ruan Surong’s worry.
Li Changqing smiled and said, "Although I don't know much about this person, I have heard that General Xu is an upright and generous person. As long as you don't say anything bad about the one in the North, I think it will not be difficult to get in touch with him."
"Is that so?"
Ruan Surong nodded.
Then he asked, "Envoy Li, have you found any clues about those thieves?"
Li Changqing shook his head.
His face was a little grim as he said, "We haven't found any clues yet. Two days ago, the Jinyiwei had a falling out with the one in Datong Prefecture. They had a big fight and many of their brothers died."
"what happened?"
Ruan Surong's eyes turned cold when she heard this.
Ling Yan'er, who was standing aside, also frowned, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Although they had just become Jinyiwei.
But I have already gotten into the role.
Moreover.
The Jinyiwei are the eldest sister’s people, and the eldest sister’s people are also their people.
The Qingyuan Sword Sect is well-known for protecting its own people, just like Jiang Xuan.
Following Li Changqing's reply.
The two women also knew the whole story.
Nothing less.
It was because of King Wu's words that the Jinyiwei had to go to Datong Prefecture to investigate the case.
When the King of Qin learned about this, he was furious.
He immediately sent people to surround the Jinyiwei and ordered them to get out of Datong Prefecture.
At first, the King of Qin did not think of taking action.
But when the Jinyiwei and the soldiers of Datong Prefecture were confronting each other.
A royal guard.
He actually aimed the crossbow in his hand at the King of Qin and shot three arrows in a row straight at the King of Qin's throat.
Fortunately.
A general under the King of Qin realized something was wrong and jumped up to block the three arrows for the King of Qin, but the general also lost his life.
As a result, the King of Qin was extremely furious.
He immediately ordered his soldiers to kill all the Jinyiwei present.
But until this Jinyiwei was completely slaughtered.
The King of Qin was also unable to find out who secretly attacked him and wanted to kill him.
After this incident.
The King of Qin spoke.
If any more Jinyiwei dared to set foot in Datong Prefecture, he would kill them all.
After Li Changqing finished speaking.
The two girls looked at each other and saw the surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.
Ling Yaner frowned and said, "There may be something fishy about this matter."
"Governor Li, do you know who the Jinyiwei who acted without authorization is?" Ruan Surong nodded. She also felt that this matter was unusual, so she asked.
After all, he is a royal guard.
It is impossible for him to act on his own, let alone kill a vassal king.
Therefore, the person who took action was definitely not a Jinyiwei.
Someone mixed in.
Even if he is really a Jinyiwei, I am afraid he has already joined someone else's army and betrayed the eldest sister.
"I don't know."
Li Changqing shook his head and said, "After that day, the King of Qin sent troops to blockade Datong Prefecture. The Jinyiwei couldn't even get in, let alone find out the truth."
Hearing this, Ling Yaner frowned even more tightly.
He murmured, "Why did the King of Qin blockade Datong Prefecture? Is he guilty? Did he really steal the batch of disaster relief grain?"
"Or"
"The King of Qin also wants to rebel, so he takes advantage of this incident to completely blockade Datong Prefecture and prevent any news from leaking out so that he can do whatever he wants." Ling Yan'er said, her eyes lighting up.
He immediately sneered and said, “It seems that this conflict was most likely planned by the King of Qin.”
"hiss"
Ling Yan'er's speculation.
Li Changqing took a deep breath.
He said in surprise: "If it is true as you speculate, then what role did the King of Wu play in it?"
Until now.
Li Changqing was shocked.
If Ling Yan'er's guess is correct.
The King of Wu's previous remarks did not mean that he was going to make a fuss about the disaster relief grain being stolen.
Frame the King of Qin.
Instead, he wanted to use the Embroidered Uniform Guard to give the King of Qin a reason, at least on the surface, to blockade the entire Datong Prefecture and take full advantage of his power.
Li Changqing was shocked.
He also said immediately: "Whether this matter is true or false, it should be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible."
"Ah."
Ruan Surong responded, "This matter should indeed be reported to the senior sister immediately. Whether it is true or not, we must be prepared to deal with it. Otherwise, if the King of Qin really rebels, things will be troublesome."
As she spoke, Ruan Surong looked at Li Changqing.
He ordered: "Li, Governor of the Pacification, please find a few trustworthy people to go back to the court."
"Here."
Li Changqing responded respectfully upon hearing this.
At the same time, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Ling Yan'er.
