The Shaoyang King next to him also had a gloomy expression, thinking about something.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The city lord quickly wiped his sweat, stood up, looked filled with righteous indignation, and said fiercely: "I have sent people to track down the whereabouts of those assassins. It is really abominable that you dare to assassinate Commander Xing, and you must not let him go easily.
"
Ying Kuang nodded and said nothing.
call!
At this time, Yue Feng took a deep breath, recovered from his sadness, and gradually calmed down his mind. The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. Xing Tiance was able to reach Qingyun City safely all the way, which is enough to prove his strength. But something happened at the inn.
With Xing Tiance's strength, ordinary assassins are no match at all. Unless they are ambushed...
Thinking of this, Yue Feng asked: "Where is Commander Xing's body?" When asking, Yue Feng was very anxious. Xing Tiance was carrying a covenant letter written by Queen Yiyi himself.
It doesn't matter if the covenant book is lost, but if it falls into Ji Beiye's hands and he is prepared in advance, it will be troublesome.
"Where is Commander Xing's body now?" At this time, King Shaoyang couldn't help but ask.
The city lord quickly responded: "Just park it in the backyard of my house."
Whoosh!
At this moment, Yue Feng quickly stood up and asked, "Has anyone touched the body?" I hope the covenant book was not lost.
"No!" The city lord shook his head and said with certainty: "I gave special instructions at that time not to touch Commander Xing's body at will. None of the people below have the guts."
When speaking, the city lord looked sincere, but secretly sneered in his heart.
Yue Feng must be worried about the covenant book, but unfortunately, I have sent the covenant book to Ji Beiye a long time ago. Now I just need to pretend not to know.
"quick!"
Yue Feng didn't have time to think too much and said quickly: "Take us there quickly."
Shaoyang Wang and Ying Kuang also stood up quickly.
The city lord responded and led the way, leaving the palace and arriving at the backyard of the city lord's mansion.
call!
At this moment, looking at the scene in front of him, Yue Feng was stunned for a moment even though he was mentally prepared. Then, the anger in his heart rose.
They saw that Xing Tiance's body was temporarily placed in the pavilion in the backyard. Although it was covered with white cloth, the seeping donated blood completely penetrated the white cloth, and the exposed arms were covered with stab wounds...
It is unimaginable how brutal the fighting was that Xing Tiance suffered at that time.
At this time, King Shaoyang was also very angry and said fiercely: "Damnable assassins, after catching them, they must be cut into pieces with a thousand knives."
Yue Feng did not speak, but slowly walked over, lifted up the white cloth, and inspected Xing Tiance's body.
Made!
After checking again, Yue Feng's face became increasingly grim. At this time, Xing Tiance's body was empty, and the covenant book was missing.
Seeing Yue Feng's expression, Ying Kuang couldn't help but ask: "How?"
Yue Feng shook his head and said: "The thing is missing."
Upon hearing this, King Shaoyang and Ying Kuang looked at each other and realized that this matter was not simple.
"Mr. Yue Feng!"
At this moment, the city lord took a step forward and asked Yue Feng, knowingly: "What are you talking about?" As he asked, he sneered secretly in his heart.
Ha ha....
This Yue Feng still wants to find the covenant book? What are he daydreaming about?
Yue Feng glanced at him and said calmly: "It's a very important thing." At this time, Yue Feng had already begun to doubt the city lord. He deliberately didn't say anything at this time, just to see his reaction.
The city lord looked stunned, and then said angrily: "Those assassins must have taken it away."
"Yeah?"
Yue Feng chuckled lightly and looked at the city lord complicatedly: "How do you know it was taken away by an assassin?" Xing Tiance was assassinated last night, and I was treated as a spy this morning. Maybe it was all related to the city lord.
Well.....
When Leng Buding was asked this question by Yue Feng, the city lord suddenly panicked, but he quickly calmed down and explained with a smile: "Isn't it obvious that my people didn't touch the body? Didn't it mean that the assassins took it away?"
As he said that, the city lord did not look at Yue Feng, but looked down at Xing Tiance's body, and said hypocritically: "It is really sad that such an upright man like Commander Xing met such an end."
