The three Tongluo nodded slowly and looked at the men in black. If they could force Mr. Xu, who had just entered the God Refining Realm, into such a panic, one of them must be in the God Refining Realm.

At this time, noisy and dull footsteps came, and a fifty-man sword guard rushed over.

"Master Xu, please go back to the Yamen to heal your injuries first, and leave these three people to us."

The speaking Tongluo walked out of the alley and ordered the sword guards who came over, saying: "You escort Mr. Xu back to the watchman's office, leaving ten people behind to help me dispose of the body."

The little leader of the Imperial Blade Guard cupped his fists and said, "Yes."

After Xu Qi'an left, the three Tongluo returned to the alley. When they touched the body, the man in black, who had been standing still, suddenly broke into two halves. His upper body and lower body were separated. A slant wound appeared on his waist, and the incision was flattened.

together.

Various organs were mixed with blood, flowing all over the floor.

The gongs frowned, a little disgusted and a little surprised.

"I remember that Xu Ningyan's secret skill was a very powerful sword technique. He killed Zhu Yinluo with one strike."

"Yes, it seems to be more powerful now. This sword killed three people, and among the three, one must be in the God Refining Realm."

The three of them looked at the man in black at the front at the same time. It was obvious that this man was the strongest among the three.

"Hey, why doesn't he have a weapon?"

The other two men in black were equipped with standard long knives and military crossbows, but the man in black was the only one with empty hands and no weapons.

Was it picked up by Xu Ningyan?

With doubts, they examined the body of the man in black alone. When their fingers touched the remains, they felt a steel-like texture.

The corpse still retains the state of luck before death.

"Um?"

A series of question marks appeared in the minds of the three people at the same time.

It took them a few seconds to react, and their hearts filled with absurd and shocking emotions.

"Copper, copper skin and iron bones..." a gong murmured.

.......

Half an hour later, the call came to the Yamen.

Divine Sword Hall.

After receiving the news, Kaitai Kaitai, who was on duty tonight, summoned all the silver gongs to discuss the assassination of Xu Qian.

Yinluo, who had just led a team to survey the scene, reported: "The whole process from being assassinated to killing the enemy took less than half a quarter of an hour. The three assassins seemed to have known Xu Ningyan's route for a long time and laid an ambush on the only way.

"After a brief confrontation between the two sides, they chased Xu Ningyan into the alley, and then were killed with a single blow."

Kai Tai nodded and looked at the other Yin Luo, the one responsible for examining the corpse.

The silver gong said in a deep voice: "The assassins use the most common standard long sword. The three major forbidden army camps and the five imperial city guards all use this kind of knife. Even some of the family guards in the palaces of princes and ministers use this kind of knife."

.We have no clues from the weapons.

"In addition, we found a magical weapon crossbow from an assassin, which is enough to pose a threat to the realm of refining gods. But this still cannot be a breakthrough.

"The situation of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War lining their own pockets is very serious. The phenomenon of princes, princes and ministers buying and selling military supplies privately is equally frequent. Over the years, countless magical weapons and armaments have been leaked out. It is impossible to detect them at all.

"If we want to investigate, most of the official circles in the capital will be involved, and there will be many obstacles. I'm afraid that even if His Majesty personally orders it, there will probably be no results."

Kaitai nodded, as if he had expected it, and asked: "What are the cultivation levels of the three assassins?"

"Two are at the God Refining Realm, and one is at the Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm."

Killing the God Refining Realm and the Copper Skin Iron Bone Realm with one sword... The hall fell into deathly silence.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Kaitai said: “Where is Xu Ningyan?”

"After taking care of the injury, he fell asleep."

Kaitai nodded, looked around at the Silver Gongs, and coughed, "You don't need to pay too much attention to certain details. As Silver Gongs, you are all top-notch talents in Dafeng. You are no worse than anyone else. It's just occasionally...occasionally.

There will be one or two freaks who cannot be dealt with on a regular basis."

The silver gongs echoed a few words with forced smiles.

Kaitai changed the subject, "Who do you think sent the assassin?"

A Yinluo frowned and said: "We don't know who Xu Ningyan has recently become enemies with. Based on what we know, we can infer that if it is ruled out as a personal grudge, then it is most likely related to the Fu Fei case."

...........

The next day, Mao hour.

Zhang Kaitai went to visit Xu Qian first and saw that he was sleeping, so he did not disturb him. He took the file "The Assassination of Xu Qian" written by the officials last night and went to Haoqi Tower.

After passing the communication, he entered Haoqi Tower and met Wei Yuan in the tea room on the seventh floor.

The activities of this high-ranking eunuch have two points and one line: the imperial palace - Haoqi Tower.

Thanks to the intelligence network laid out by the watchman's yamen, he can know the world's affairs without going out.

"Wei Gong, Xu Ningyan left the palace yesterday and was assassinated on the way." Kaitai handed over the file.

Wei Yuan took the file but did not open it immediately and asked: "How is he?"

"I suffered some injuries, but it's nothing serious. It's just that my energy was severely exhausted and I'm still sleeping." Zhang Kaitai said.

Wei Yuan nodded, then opened the file, read it quickly, raised his head and stared at Kaitai: "Two at the God Refining Realm, one with copper skin and iron bones?"

He seemed to be asking for confirmation.

Even a man of great wisdom like Wei Gong is often confused by that kid... Zhang Kaitai said "Hmm":

"Copper skin and iron bones."

Wei Yuan was silent for a long time, then suddenly chuckled, "Not bad, not bad."

Kaitai took advantage of the situation and said: "Could it be related to the case of Concubine Fu?"

"The case of Concubine Fu is a family matter of His Majesty's, and foreign ministers cannot interfere. However, I will report this matter." Wei Yuan closed the file and frowned.

He didn't have many spies in the palace. After all, the palace was Emperor Yuan Jing's territory. Placing too many spies would completely anger Emperor Yuan Jing. Since three chess pieces were removed last time, Wei Yuan had temporarily given up paying attention to the palace.

There should still be a tacit understanding between monarch and ministers. Emperor Yuan Jing told him clearly: Stop asking about the situation in the palace.

However, after experiencing the assassination of Xu Qian, Wei Yuan became a little angry. He wanted to re-activate his informants in the palace and pay attention to this case personally.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the stairs. Wei Yuan raised his head and looked over, and Kaitai turned his head accordingly.

An official in black lowered his head, entered the tea room, and said respectfully: "Mr. Wei, there is an order from the palace. At the beginning of the morning, there will be a court meeting."

"I know." Wei Yuan nodded.

"Perhaps there is something important..." Kaitai stood up knowingly: "I will resign from my humble post first."

The court meeting is not held every day. Generally speaking, a diligent king will hold a big court meeting every three days. The time is fixed.

For a king who is lazy in his administration, it will be done once every five to ten days.

When I arrived at Emperor Yuan Jing's place, I rarely went to the morning court. If I felt good and felt that I needed to take care of government affairs, I would send someone to inform the officials one day in advance.

Just like today, holding an impromptu court meeting means something big has happened.

After Wei Yuan drank the tea in his cup, he called Nangong Qianrou and entered the palace with his adopted son.

Arriving at the Meridian Gate at 6:00 a.m., the square was filled with officials from the capital. They were whispering and discussing the reason why Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty suddenly convened a court meeting.

Most people are speculating whether it is related to the Fu Fei case. This is one of the recent major events.

This case is related to the prince and the country. Only such a thing would make Emperor Yuan Jing, who had been idle for a long time, suddenly convene a court meeting and convene ministers for discussion.

"Wei Gong."

The Youdu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came up to him, looked around cautiously, and whispered: "There was news from the palace that His Majesty entered Fengqi Palace last night, and then left in a rage."

Wei Yuan's expression paused slightly, and he nodded slowly: "Yes."
