A painting hangs impressively above the throne of the palace.
The woman in the painting has an oval face with lightly swept eyebrows, a pair of big eyes with a look of sadness, like ripples on the surface of deep water. If you look at it carefully, there is a bit of heroism hidden in it. The bridge of her nose is as beautiful as a small jade peak.
, the plump lips are not reddish, the cheeks are not powdered, and the white skin is slightly red, like pear blossoms in the morning sun.
The alluring beauty was dressed in a light yellow dress, with a white floral skirt wrapped around the bust. Her black hair was casually scattered, and the hibiscus came out of the clear water, naturally removing the ornaments.
Shao Kefan turned his back to the main hall and stared at the painting in the hands of his love rival, without paying any attention to the people who were entering the main hall one after another.
A year ago, the people who worked in the palace looked at each other in shock and surprise when they saw the painting hanging on the palace wall. Isn't that Mu Jianxin, who has been dead for a long time? And he entered the palace after the Manghuang War.
People can only wonder: Who is the woman in the painting? Why did the king call them here?
Although they were puzzled, the dozens of visitors in the palace suppressed their curiosity and kept silent. The king was so focused that disturbing him would probably cost him his life.
As there was a sound of footsteps, the person came and stood still behind everyone, and then no one came in again.
It was so quiet in the main hall, as if there was no silence anymore. Everyone bowed their heads respectfully, and from time to time someone boldly raised their head and took a quick look at the Cangteng King who was motionless and just looking at the woman in the painting, and then quickly
Lower your head.
After a long time, Shao Kefan turned around. In his eyes, the sadness that he had just turned his back on everyone had been replaced by calmness. He said calmly, "Everyone from the Sword Pavilion and the Decision Department is here."
Hong Ying stretched out his index finger to count people and just touched the last swordsman. He took it back and answered respectfully, "There are eighty-five people in total, sixty-four swordsmen and twenty-one counselors. They are all here."
Shao Kefan sat down on the throne and looked at the dozens of people sitting down. Each of them had unique skills and their reputations were well-known in the wilderness.
Most of them have expressionless faces and don't even turn their eyes. They have already built a solid barrier in their hearts to block out the keen eyes of all those who want to study them deeply, including the monarch.
There must be a few spies and a few unpredictable people waiting for him to speak and bring what he said to Zheng Xiaohan's ears.
However, this matter is already known to the whole world.
"I've called you here to do the most important thing for me." Shao Kefan spoke slowly, stopped here, and watched everyone's reactions.
Everyone looked at each other again. The most important thing? Is it related to the woman in the painting?
Sure enough, when they heard the words "the most important thing", a little light suddenly flashed in the dead eyes of several expressionless people.
It's exposed! A sneer appeared in Shao Kefan's mouth, and he continued, "Jian Xin's body disappeared for no reason. I want you to find it and use all means to find it."
Mu Jianxin's body is missing! Who is so bold? Everyone's shocked expressions froze for a moment, and it took a long time to calm down and whisper.
The few people whose eyes flashed just now were not as agitated as others at this time, but stood quietly, changing their eyes at an imperceptible speed.
The body was so important to Shao Kefan. If they found it, the King of Eagle Kingdom would be too happy.
Shao Kefan looked at the dozens of people in the hall without saying a word, observing their expressions and listening to different voices. After taking a general look, he gave a light high-five, and everyone immediately fell silent and bowed their heads respectfully.
"The deadline is one month." Shao Kefan tapped the armrest of the throne again and again. For some reason, everyone's hearts trembled when they heard this.
The reason why such a long time is given is because the person who can take away the body without leaving any trace must have martial arts skills that are not inferior to him, and may even be higher than him.
"Yes." The people below responded in unison, and their voices shook the palace.
With such a vast country and so many affairs backlogged, he couldn't go out to search for it himself, unless, unless they returned empty-handed, but so many masters returned empty-handed, they must have searched the vast abyss, so he went
What's the use of looking for it?
However, he will go when the time comes.
Just like the empty tomb in the mountains on the outskirts of the palace, when he learned the truth, he did not abandon it.
"I am coming too."
After all the swordsmen and counselors in the main hall had retreated, a slightly hoarse voice sounded.
Shao Kefan was a little surprised, but did not turn around, his eyes remained on Jian Xin's face.
Shu Zhen walked into the hall. She was in her fifth month of pregnancy, and her belly was bulging a little obviously.
She walked to her husband's side, looked up at the charming woman in the painting, and then her eyes fell on his face.
She could see how much pain was hidden in those calm eyes!
"Are you going too?" Shao Kefan sneered, "When did you start to like joking?"
"Just because you care." Shu Zhen seemed to laugh at himself, "Even because it's her."
Shao Kefan was startled, a subtle feeling arose in his heart, and he was quickly overwhelmed by the overwhelming thoughts.
With Shu Zhen's martial arts, he can indeed play a big role in the search for Jian Xin.
He frowned and said, "You are pregnant, but you must not move the fetus."
"Haha..." Shu Zhen suddenly laughed coldly, "Shao Kefan, you only care about the child in my belly. Can you really be so indifferent to me?"
She didn't mention this topic for a long time and just tolerated it. However, she still refused to give up.
"Don't forget, you became my wife just for an agreement, and I will abide by my agreement and let you enjoy the beautiful jade."
There was a trace of disgust on Shao Kefan's face. What he avoided the most was her asking for affection from him.
"Whoa", the ancient green sword quickly came out of its sheath and swung it towards Lord Cang Teng.
