King Mobei opened his eyes and looked at him: "Who else could it be if it wasn't him? The guard has already admitted it, and there is irrefutable proof."
Xuan Du raised his eyebrows: "The guard's confession cannot be fully believed. What if he was bribed?
If my father wants to know who the real murderer is, why not come with me to interrogate that guard again."
King Mobei was puzzled: "If you want to interrogate that guard, just bring him here. Why do you want me to come with you?"
Xuan Du smiled: "I was afraid that the guard wouldn't be able to get through."
He stepped forward and helped King Mobei up and said, "Father, come with me and have a look and we will know."
King Mobei knew that there might be something hidden in this matter, so he followed Xuan Du out of the king's tent and came to the place where the guard was imprisoned.
It was already dark at this time, so Xuandu and King Mobei did not go directly, but hid in a hidden place.
After a while, I saw that the guard who was bound had somehow broken free of the rope and escaped.
He knocked out the guard guard and was about to escape from the palace.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly blocked his way. The guard looked at the man with joy on his face and called out: "Fourth Prince."
He suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "The Fourth Prince's great kindness will be unforgettable by my subordinates."
The fourth prince had no expression on his face. He drew out his sword and shouted: "Come here, the murderer has escaped!"
As he spoke, he swung his sword and slashed at the guard. The guard stayed on the spot, watching the fourth prince's knife was about to fall. At this time, he heard a clang and someone swung his sword to block the fatal blow.
There were torches lighting up around him, illuminating Xiao Chengyi's handsome face. He was holding a long sword in his hand and standing in front of the guards.
The fourth prince's expression changed, and he stared intently at Xiao Chengyi, who was doing bad things.
Xiao Chengyi also looked at him, raised his lips and asked, "Does the fourth prince want to kill someone and silence him?"
The fourth prince calmed down and said in a cold voice: "I think the regent has misunderstood something? I just saw the guard trying to escape, so I stopped him."
"oh?"
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and said, "But I just saw this guard kneeling on the ground. I want to thank you for your great kindness. How can I explain this?"
The fourth prince said: "He is just begging me to spare his life."
Xiao Chengyi turned to look at the guard and asked, "Is that so? If so, I will hand you over to the Fourth Prince."
The guard is not stupid. The fourth prince clearly wanted to kill him just now. If he falls into the hands of the fourth prince, how can he survive?
He shook his head quickly: "Prince Regent, help me, the fourth prince wants to kill me."
The fourth prince narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on the knife. He looked around and found that the only people attracted by him were Xiao Chengyi's people.
Xiao Chengyi asked: "Why did the fourth prince want to kill you?"
The guard knew that in his current situation, if he kept concealing it, he would really be on the verge of death, so he told everything: "Because my subordinate was ordered by the fourth prince to assassinate the third prince.
The eldest prince was wronged, and the fourth prince wanted to kill me to silence me."
He looked at the fourth prince and asked in confusion: "Fourth prince, my subordinates are loyal to you and have already risked their own lives. Why do you want to kill me?"
The fourth prince had no expression on his face: "If you are willing to risk your life for me, why would you betray me?"
The guard was a little angry: "Don't you want to kill me? Are you afraid that I will betray you if I am alive? Since you are worried about this, why don't you tell me directly?
You saved this subordinate's life. You gave me the opportunity to avenge my sister. If you want my subordinate's life, I can give it to you.
But you don’t believe me. Have you never believed me from the beginning to the end? You just treat me as a chess piece!”
