Chapter 644 The King of Qi returns to Qi (temporarily ended)
The clouds have cleared and the rain has cleared, the wind and waves are calm, and the river has returned to its former calm. Only the shipwrecks and corpses floating in the river bear witness to the fierce battle just now.
Of course, the waves caused by water witchcraft are just water movements. In fact, the weather is always peaceful, with sunny days and no wind or rain.
Chen He cooperated with the water cutoff to clean up all the Baiyue wizards, and after ensuring that everything was back to normal, he quickly returned to the cabin and happened to see Qi Wangjian who had just woken up from his sleep.
"What's going on?" Chen He asked sharply with a cold light in his eyes.
Several Jixiawei quickly bowed and replied, "Report to the commander, the king just felt unwell and fell asleep. Perhaps it was because the ship was shaking too much."
"..." Chen He's sharp eyes swept over several Jixiawei, his eyes full of suspicion.
How could it be such a coincidence that when he went out to kill the enemy, the king passed out in the cabin?
The Jixiawei noticed their superior's suspicion, and although they felt a little aggrieved, they had nothing to say. They also thought it was too coincidental, but... it was such a coincidence.
The king stayed out of their sight the whole time, so he couldn't let others take advantage of him, right?
Besides, the king is awake now. Except for some physical discomfort, everything is normal.
Qi Wangjian said, "He'er, don't think too much, let them go down first."
Chen He heard the sound and clasped his fists, "Yes."
Immediately, he scanned the circle of people again, making sure that he remembered everyone, and then ordered, "Go out, thoroughly check the whole ship, eliminate dangers, and don't let anyone with problems come on board."
The so-called problematic people are actually people from the Qin State. Now that the chaos is beginning to subside, Chen He does not want there to be any more twists and turns.
You should always feel more at ease with your own people.
"I obey." Several Jixiawei followed the order and left.
As soon as they left, King Qi's rest cabin was suddenly empty, leaving only two people, King Qi Jian and Chen He.
Chen He approached Qi Wangjian, helped him sit firmly, and at the same time hesitantly said, "Your Majesty, just now..."
King Qi raised his hand and waved, his face was still pale and his voice was a little weak, "Nothing, just a little seasick."
"Haha, it's not just seasickness." Gu Xun's voice suddenly appeared again, attracting the attention of Qi Wangjian and Chen Hejunchen.
However, the two of them did not panic like Da Siming before, and were both calm.
Chen He recognized Gu Xun's voice, while Qi Wangjian believed that nothing would happen to him with Chen He around.
After seeing clearly that the speaker was indeed Gu Xun, Chen He's face showed a hint of joy, he cupped his hands and saluted, "Sir."
A look of surprise appeared on Qi Wangjian's face, and he said in a surprised tone, "Mr. Gu? Aren't you supposed to be in Xianyang?"
Gu Xun's whereabouts are of concern to others, and even more so to King Qi Jian. Information from Xianyang is sent to him every day by messenger bird.
As far as he knew, at least yesterday, Gu Xunren was still in Xianyang and attended the court meeting.
Gu Xun spread his hands and replied in a calm tone, "I came secretly."
"Well... Mr. Gu is still so free and easy-going." Qi Wangjian subconsciously wanted to ask how he came here secretly.
You disappeared from Xianyang, how can others not know?
But after thinking about it, he didn't need to delve into the details. Anyway, Gu Xun's appearance here was an out-and-out good thing for him.
Gu Xun stretched out his hand to hold up a shelf that had fallen to the ground, grabbed a seat first, and then said with a smile, "It's not important. Your Majesty, King Qi, just don't forget the money you owe me."
"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Gu. Qi's business is prosperous and its faith is the foundation. I will never forget it." Qi Wangjian couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling, but his face didn't look good and he smiled very hard.
Seeing his appearance, Gu Xun took a sip of infuriating energy and passed it over.
After being relieved by Gu Xun's Yuhua Zhenqi, Qi Wangjian suddenly felt his head refreshed, and all the nausea he felt just now dissipated, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Xun waved his hand, "Nothing."
At this time, Chen He quickly interrupted and brought the topic back to the original topic, "Sir, what do you mean by 'more than just'?"
Gu Xun rolled his eyes, "What else could it mean? It's that someone has secretly plotted against King Qi."
Hearing what Gu Xun said, neither Qi Wangjian nor Chen Hejun and Chen showed any surprise.
Qi Wangjian just smiled lightly, looking blankly and saying nothing.
Chen He asked in a deep voice, "Sir, can you tell me who did it?"
Gu Xun did not answer in a hurry, but instead asked Chen Hedao, "You were dealing with those Baiyue wizards outside just now. Did you notice anything wrong?"
After Gu Xun asked, Chen and Shen Mou carefully recalled the previous battle. After a moment, they said in an uncertain tone, "There seems to be something wrong with someone among those Baiyue wizards."
Gu Xun nodded, confirming Chen He's discovery, and then narrated, "The water waves just now were completely created by water-attribute spells, but those Baiyue wizards alone could not achieve this level.
”
"There are quite a few of them, and they join forces to perform water witchcraft. Theoretically, it is quite powerful, but they lack a core figure with enough strength to control the huge flow of true energy, so they cannot become a force."
"But they did it." Qi Wangjian interrupted with a smile, looking like he was idle and bored.
"Yeah." Gu Xun nodded, "So there are definitely masters among the people present to serve as the core."
When Gu Xun said this, Chen He already knew what was going on.
Those Baiyue wizards alone are not enough to achieve the goal. The real key is the top master who hides in the dark, but it is obviously impossible for him to come from Baiyue - I have never heard of such a powerful Baiyue wizard operating in the Central Plains.
It’s hard to hire someone even with money.
Only the Baiyue tribes in Lingnan can worship great wizards of this level, but they usually don't get involved in the affairs of the Central Plains. Firstly, they are used to living in Lingnan and are unwilling to abandon the tribe. Secondly, they want to leave.
Traveling to the Central Plains is too strenuous. It basically takes half a lifetime.
Excluding the possibility of the Baiyue wizard, there are only two suspects left - the Taoist family and the Yin Yang family.
It's you, which one do you doubt?
"Yin Yang family... Mr. Water Minister, are they the twins?" Chen He immediately found the real owner.
Gu Xun glanced sideways at Chen He, and he didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could actually spot the attributes of twins at a glance!
"Yes, they are Mrs. Xiang and the sisters." Gu Xun confirmed Chen He's guess, "It is also because they are actually two people, so they are able to maintain the magic while struggling with Duanshui."
"Just now, the two of them were hiding among a group of Baiyue wizards. They pretended to be killed by you and escaped into the water."
With the identity confirmed, the purpose was basically grasped. Chen He also understood why his king was clearly attacked but nothing happened.
"They are not here for assassination, they are here for Canglong Qisu."
After Chen He said this answer, Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled, which was regarded as affirmative, while Qi Wangjian seemed to be nothing, with an indifferent expression on his face.
