Qin Wei didn't want to talk nonsense with this old guy anymore and asked.
"Not here!" Cheng Guogong opened his eyes and told lies without any intention of blushing.
"Yeah?"
Qin Wei raised his eyebrows.
"Why don't you let me search for it?"
"Your Highness, please don't go too far!"
"Then what if I go too far?"
"As long as His Highness the Duke dares to kill the old man, the old man will naturally not complain at all!" Cheng Guogong said coldly.
If everyone is dead, there will naturally be no complaints!
But if Qin Wei kills him, isn't he just cheating?
"How could it be? I cannot kill the Duke!"
Qin Wei didn't care about this old guy's cheating, "Yu Wen Chengdu, watch out for the Duke, and don't hurt the Duke!"
"I obey my orders!"
Yu Wencheng responded and immediately stepped forward and came to Duke Cheng Guo.
Compared with the old Duke Cheng Guo, his burly body is like a bear staring at a macaque.
Qiang~~
At this moment, a snow-white sword suddenly bloomed and lay in front of Yuwen Chengdu.
It was a thin old man holding a three-foot-long ring-headed sword.
Wind-breaking knife Lu Ming!
Yuwen Chengdu's expression moved slightly and he stared at Lu Ming.
This Lu Ming is a warrior trained by Duke Cheng Guo. He has always been with Duke Cheng and is the most trusted person by Duke Cheng.
The gold-plated phoenix wing in Yuwen Chengdu's hand suddenly swung out, and Lu Ming raised his sword to block it.
Dang~~
There was a crisp sound and Lu Ming took two steps back.
Immediately afterwards, he slashed at Yuwen Chengdu again.
The sharp sword power carries a chilling killing intent.
But before the blade reached Yuwen Chengdu, it was stopped by a short sword.
The dagger was one foot long, and it was all black. The thin and short body was like a nail nailed to the bluestone ground. No matter how hard Lu Ming tried, he couldn't make an inch.
The one who took action was none other than Qi Lin.
"Who is your Excellency?" Lu Ming stared at Qi Lin who was right in front of him and asked.
"The Zhenwu Division directs Qian to serve Qi Lin!" Qi Lin replied softly.
His voice was very low, as if he was deliberately suppressing it, and his face was very ordinary. Even if you look at him a few times, you won't be able to remember his appearance.
"Qi Lin, the life-chasing ghost!" Lu Ming's face changed slightly!
Life-Chasing Ghost is Qi Lin’s nickname among the people.
As an intelligence officer, Qi Lin has never used the identity of Imperial City Secretary in the world, and has always been involved in the world as a casual cultivator.
The ghost who pursues life is called life-chasing ghost, but he is actually a ghost!
It appears and disappears, no one knows its origins, no one knows its whereabouts, just like a lonely ghost.
Cheng Guogong's face was serious, "The Zhenwu Division is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, but I have underestimated the Zhenwu Division!"
He didn't know what kind of life-seeking ghost he was, but he knew that the person who could make Lu Ming so nervous was definitely not an ordinary person.
Qin Wei jumped off his horse and stepped into the threshold of Chengguo Duke's Mansion.
"The Zhenwu Division is handling the case, and anyone who dares to resist will be shot without mercy!"
"Uh, no, except for our Duke, everyone else can be killed!"
Qin Wei stood on the steps of the courtyard and glanced at the guards in the courtyard.
The Zhenwu Division has the right to kill first and then report, but it only targets officials below the third rank and nobles below the marquis. He really can't kill Duke Cheng.
Hundreds of soldiers from the Zhenwu Division filed in and rushed into the Chengguo Duke's Mansion in the blink of an eye.
The guards in Duke Cheng's mansion nervously clenched their crossbows and stared at Duke Cheng.
They were all waiting for Duke Cheng to make his decision.
Duke Cheng Guo's face was gloomy and uncertain, and his eyes were full of sinisterness.
At this time, he already had murderous intention towards Qin Wei in his heart, but he was more afraid of Qin Wei, or in other words, Emperor Li behind Qin Wei.
At this moment, Lu Shangqing came over with a livid face.
"What's going on? Who dares to be so arrogant in the Duke's Mansion?"
He still didn't know what happened, he only knew that someone led troops to surround the Duke's Mansion.
There are really not many people in Kyoto who dare to lead troops to surround the Duke's mansion.
So after getting the news, his first thought was not to panic, but to see who had eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.
Qin Wei smiled when he saw Lu Shangqing.
"Young Master should know me!"
Lu Shangqing looked at Qin Wei, his narrow eyes suddenly condensed.
He has never seen Qin Wei before, this is the first time he has seen Qin Wei.
"Who are you?"
"Qin Wei, King of Xin'an County!" Qin Wei introduced himself.
Lu Shangqing looked a little stiff, "What are you doing here, Your Highness, the Duke of Chengguo?"
"Catch you!" Qin Wei said.
Lu Shangqing looked at him hesitantly, "This young master should have never offended His Highness the County Prince!"
Qin Wei smiled brightly, "If you don't want others to know, don't do it unless you do it yourself."
"Well, the king of Japan was assassinated a few days ago. It is said that the assassin came from the Chengguo Palace! I don't know if it is true or not?"
"Impossible!" Lu Shangqing said nervously.
Qin Wei shook his head and said: "I also think it is impossible. After all, the Duke of Guo is a noble and important minister of our Dali. How can he use such despicable means!"
"So I didn't believe these rumors!"
Qin Wei grinned.
"Then why is Your Highness the Prince doing this?" Lu Shangqing relaxed a little.
Qin Wei looked at him and said, "I want to seek justice for my third brother."
Lu Shangqing was a little confused.
Who is this third brother?
"My third brother is Lieutenant Qin Shangze!" Qin Wei said with a smile.
Lu Shangqing's face turned blue and white.
He finally understood that Qin Wei was here to deliberately cause trouble.
Seeking justice for Qin Shangze is just an excuse!
He looked at Duke Cheng Guo, and at this moment, Duke Cheng Guo also looked at him, his eyes full of questioning.
Duke Cheng Guo was even smarter than Lu Shangqing. When Qin Wei accused Lu Shangqing of harming the royal family, he felt something was wrong.
It's just that he never understood the ways in which Lu Shangqing offended Qin Wei.
But now he understands.
Assassination!
Lu Shangqing missed Duke Cheng's gaze and lowered his head in silence.
When Duke Cheng Guo saw this, he understood in his heart.
The leader of the assassination must be Lu Shangqing!
A wise son is better than a father!
Duke Cheng Guo knows Lu Shangqing's character and temper best.
He is domineering, his methods are vicious, and he does things regardless of the consequences!
If Lu Shangqing hired martial artists to assassinate Qin Wei, Duke Cheng would not be surprised at all.
But his heart was still full of anger, because he had warned Lu Shangqing not to target Zhenwu Si and Qin Wei again.
I didn’t expect Lu Shangqing to be so unscrupulous!
"My lord, can I take the eldest son away?" Qin Wei asked.
Duke Cheng Guo said with a stiff expression: "No!"
He knew that if Qin Wei was allowed to take Lu Shangqing away, Lu Shangqing would never come back.
"Then I'm sorry!"
Qin Wei held the Qiushuang Sword and stood on the steps at the door, scanning the people around him with a stern gaze.
"Lu Shangqing is arrogant and domineering and disrespects the royal family. He beat Lieutenant Qin Shangze two years ago, causing Qin Shangze's legs to be disabled. He deserves to be punished for his crime!"
Buzzing~~
The bow strings were tightened, the icy arrows were raised, and the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division faced off with the guards of Duke Cheng Guo.
The tense and solemn atmosphere was as stagnant as the essence, and heavy pressure fell on everyone's heart.
"Iron hand!"
"The official is here!"
"Take it!"
"Here!"
Tie Shou responded and immediately stepped forward towards Lu Shangqing.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were on him, and the arrows in the hands of the guards at Duke Chengguo's mansion were also pointing at him.
