"Don't let him run away!" A man shouted in the crowd, snatched the crossbow held by a companion next to him, and pointed it at Xue Lingfeng.

If Xue Lingfeng really survives death, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xue Lingfeng is extremely smart. He can find out the origin of the assassin tonight in less than a day. He holds the Three Thousand Tiger God Camp in his hand. Once he attacks, no one can predict what the outcome will be.

The most important thing is that the capital needs stability. Even if the storm is surging in secret, the surface must be kept quiet. Such peace must not be destroyed by the failure of the assassination tonight.

The man held the arrow crossbow and had already pointed it at Xue Lingfeng's back. Xue Lingfeng obviously knew that tonight was not the time to show off his courage. If he continued to fight, he could only cross the street. So he tried his best to sprint. He was not an ordinary person, and he had already run several feet away in the blink of an eye.

The man was about to shoot an arrow, but he saw the short and fat man in black following Xue Lingfeng like a ghost, and was close to him. If the arrow was released, it was not a joke to accidentally shoot the short and fat man in black. Because this person did not dare to pull the strings, he was stunned. Xue Lingfeng and the man in black had a distance and disappeared into the night.

The man from Shiduan Banjian frowned, and the person next to him said anxiously: "Senior Brother Seven..."

Senior Brother Seven returned the arrow crossbow in his hand to his companion and said coldly: "Catch him up, I want him to die!" With a wave of his hand, he led his subordinates to chase him over.

When they chased the street, they did not see the figures of the two. Senior Brother Qi raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, looked down, then went to the left, squatted down, and saw blood on the ground. Xue Lingfeng was already injured when he escaped. The ground was fresh blood, so it naturally fell from Xue Lingfeng.

Senior Brother Seven immediately turned to the street with the left head, and more than a dozen people followed closely behind, running for a short distance. When he heard a scream, someone immediately said, "Senior Brother Seven, there." He raised his hand and pointed to the front right. Everyone accelerated and soon arrived at an alley. Before he could enter the alley, he saw a figure slowly walking out of the alley. He was short and fat. He was the man in black who had just chased Xue Lingfeng. This person held a knife in one hand, and blood dripped down the blade, while the other hand was holding a head. The head was already bloody and bloody. Everyone looked closely and could still tell that it was Xue Lingfeng's head.

Senior Brother Qi pulled off the black scarf covered with his face, went forward, and whispered: "Horse Shen, have you succeeded?" He looked at the head again.

"The body is in the alley, you can handle it yourself, you know how to do it." The second senior brother also pulled off the black scarf and showed a harmless face of humans and animals. It was Qu Xiaocang, the newly promoted Shenhou Mansion of Shenhou, who threw the head to a subordinate. The man took it, and someone immediately took a black cloth bag and wrapped the head.

Senior Brother Seven was ordered to enter the alley and walked for only a short walk. He vaguely saw a headless corpse lying on the ground, wearing armor, and the big sword was still in his hand.

This seventh senior brother is naturally Yan Lingxian, the Pojun Academy Captain among the Big Dipper. He reached out and pulled out the armor of the corpse, his eyes full of coldness.

Qu Xiaocang glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "You all know that the emperor has an order. Xue Lingfeng colluded with Qi Ning and colluded with the enemy country. He was even ready to launch a mutiny in the capital, so we must secretly eradicate this person. Our army headed north and the capital city wanted peace, so this matter could only be handled secretly."

"Shenhou, Xue Lingfeng is the commander of the Tiger God Camp. He was executed when he treason and had no general in the army, which would inevitably cause a commotion." Someone under his command whispered.

"After all, Xue Lingfeng was killed, and there is no need to hide it." Qu Xiaocang was extremely calm: "But it was not our Shenhou Mansion that killed Xue Lingfeng, but... the Jiutian Tower of the Northern Han Dynasty!"

No one dared to speak much.

Qu Xiaocang obviously wanted to blame the northerners for this matter, but this was indeed the last choice now.

Qu Xiaocang leaned his head and looked at the night sky, then said: "There is still half a stick of incense. The patrol team at night will come here to let them find Xue Lingfeng's body." He stared at one of them: "Yue Lin, take two people to stay here. When the patrol soldiers find the body, you can appear and guide them to deal with the matters behind."

The man bowed and said, "Yes!"

Before dawn, Qu Xiaocang had already appeared in the palace, holding a box wrapped in black cloth in his hand. Under the leadership of the palace servants, he came to the inner palace and entered the warm cabinet. He saw the eunuch Guihe waiting inside. Qu Xiaocang carried the box to the warm cabinet and put the box in it. Then he fell to the ground. There was a pearl curtain in front of him, but Qu Xiaocang didn't even go to see if there was anyone behind the pearl curtain.

Guihe sighed beside him, "The Lord of God is indeed neat and promised to be three days, which is three days." He stared at the box wrapped in his mouth: "Is his head in it?"

Qu Xiaocang did not answer, but untied the black cloth outside the box with his own hands, and then carefully opened the box. The lights in the warm pavilion were bright. Guihe glanced at it. There was a bloody head inside, frowned slightly, and sighed: "What a big head!"

"The officers and soldiers on patrol should have found Xue Lingfeng's headless corpse." Qu Xiaocang said: "There will be someone to report this matter to the Ministry of War as soon as possible, but there is evidence of Jiutianlou's suspected assassination of Xue Lingfeng on the scene, so the Shenhou Mansion took Xue Lingfeng's corpse back."

"It turns out that Commander Xue was assassinated by the people from Jiutianlou." Guihe smiled and said, "Our army went north, and the Northern Han people sent assassins to create chaos in the capital of Jianye and assassinate our general of Chu. This is reasonable."

Qu Xiaocang knelt on the ground and didn't say anything.

"Qu Shenhou, you did this very well, and the emperor must be very satisfied." Guihe said: "But at this moment, the emperor will naturally not reward you directly. When you look for an opportunity, you will get a lot of rewards!"

Qu Xiaocang said respectfully: "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

"So you go back first." Guihe glanced at the box: "As soon as this head...!" After pondering slightly, he said: "Let's stay here for the time being."

Qu Xiaocang lowered his head and said, "Yes!" but he did not mean to retreat immediately.

Guihe frowned and said, "Is there anything else in Qu Shenhou?"

Qu Xiaocang finally looked up and said, "Grandpa, I want to ask for the King of Huainan!"

Guihe's face changed slightly and he asked, "Qu Shenhou, you seem to have forgotten your identity. You are the Shenhou Mansion of the Shenhou Mansion. The Shenhou Mansion is the yamen directly under the emperor and only obeys the emperor's will. Although the King of Huainan has a noble status, you don't seem to see him."

"Your Majesty, please report it on your behalf." Qu Xiaocang stared at Guihe's eyes: "The Shenhou Mansion has indeed been loyal to the emperor, but what Qu does seems to have deviated from this principle."

Guihe's face turned gloomy and said coldly: "What do you mean?"

Qu Xiaocang bowed again and said, "Please report to the King of Huainan on behalf of you, Qu Xiaocang, the Shenhou Mansion of the Marquis, asked for a meeting!"

Guihe's face looked ugly, and there was a sudden silence in the warm pavilion. The air seemed to have frozen. Qu Xiaocang kept kneeling and bowing without moving. Guihe stood in front of Qu Xiaocang for two steps, without moving.

A moment later, he finally heard a voice sighing: "I knew very early that if the Lord Ximen Shenhou stepped down, the only one who can truly bear the great responsibility among the seven stars of the Big Dipper is Qu Xiaocang. It seems that my eyes are still very accurate." In the voice, a figure suddenly appeared behind the pearl curtain. The pearl curtain was lifted up. Xiao Shaozong, the King of Huainan, wearing a brocade clothes and jade belt, suddenly appeared behind the pearl curtain, slowly walked out from behind the pearl curtain, carrying his hands on his back, staring at Qu Xiaocang who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed softly: "Marquis Qu Shenhou wants to see me, I am here!"

Qu Xiaocang looked up at the King of Huainan and said respectfully: "Qu Xiaocang pays homage to the prince!"

Xiao Shaozong smiled gently, but Guihe had already brought a chair over very obediently and waited behind Xiao Shaozong. Xiao Shaozong sat down and said, "What's the matter if you want to see me?"

"Prince, this is the head you want." Qu Xiaocang raised his hand and pointed to the box and said, "As soon as Xue Lingfeng dies, the tiger god camp has no heads."

Xiao Shaozong had a stronger smile on his face and asked very directly: "When did you know?"

"I realized it later. It was not until my grandfather ordered me to kill Xue Lingfeng that I realized it." Qu Xiaocang said very seriously.

Xiao Shaozong sighed: "Qu Shenhou, do you know that although you are the smartest among the Big Dipper, you are also the stupidest. The one who can see through it is you, but you shouldn't show your intelligence in front of me. Many people in this world are too smart, so their intelligence is mistaken for being smart and end up being defeated by name."

Guihe coughed lightly, and several figures immediately appeared around the warm pavilion.

Qu Xiaocang didn't even look at him, his expression was extremely calm, and said, "I just want to thank the prince in front of me. If the prince thinks that I am an untrustworthy slave, there is no need for them to do it. I immediately commit suicide in front of the prince."

Xiao Shaozong and Guihe looked at each other and smiled and said, "Marquis Qu Shen should not claim to be a minister in front of me."

"The prince has already controlled the capital and will soon rule the world." Qu Xiaocang respectfully and directly: "The minister's claim is not wrong."

Xiao Shaozong stared at Qu Xiaocang's eyes. Qu Xiaocang's tiny eyes were like mung beans, but just so, it seemed even harder to see through. Guihe had already sneered: "Qu Xiaocang, do you know that your words are already a rebellion, enough to pull you out and behead them for public display."

"I have already said that the prince wants me to die, so he doesn't have to do anything at all." Qu Xiaocang seemed extremely calm at this time.
