Zhong Jiao knelt down and cried bitterly, and all the disciples also knelt down together, and cried loudly one by one. Wei Biao, who was standing aside, blinked his eyes and knelt down too. He had no tears, so he squeezed out a few drops.
The great elder Huangfu Xiutai had 'killed' the great elder Dongfang Yehuai. This was no small matter. The news quickly spread throughout the city and also reached Xiao Xuan.
In the past two days, Xiao Xuan was waiting for the outcome of the Shenchi Elder Council's discussion on the candidate for the new Holy King, but instead of waiting for the result, he received the sad news of Dongfang Yehuai's murder.
Seeing the disciples who reported the news kneeling on the ground crying, he subconsciously stood up and asked in disbelief: "You...you mean Elder Dongfang is dead?"
"Yes, my master was killed by that old thief from Huangfu Xiutai!" a group of disciples said while crying.
How is this possible? Huangfu Xiutai is a bit arrogant, but he is not stupid enough to openly kill Dongfang Yehuai! Prince Xiao Xuan of Sichuan frowned and asked: "Among this... could it be...
Is there a misunderstanding?”
"We have witnessed this with our own eyes. We hope His Highness Prince Sichuan can make the decision for our master!"
"Yes, please His Royal Highness Prince Sichuan to make the decision for the master!" The disciples were crying with snot and tears, and Xiao Xuan had to believe that this was true.
Is Huangfu Xiutai crazy? Is it worth risking the world's disapproval to kill Dongfang Yehuai, who has the same status as him, just for a mere throne?
Xiao Xuan ducked his feet and said to a Sichuan general below: "Go! Go and bring Huangfu to the show to see you!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The Sichuan general responded with his hands raised, but he did not leave immediately, but stood up and did not move.
Xiao Xuan asked in a deep voice: "What? Didn't you hear what Gu said clearly?"
General Chuan asked with a look of embarrassment on his face: "What if... Huangfu refuses to come to the show?"
Xiao Xuan's eyes narrowed and he said: "Bring more soldiers there, even if they are tied up, they must be tied up by Huangfu Xiutai!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Hearing Xiao Xuan say that he could lead troops, General Sichuan immediately felt confident. This time he simply responded and turned around and walked out of the camp.
Let's talk about Huangfu Xiutai. After running away from Dongfang Mansion, he returned directly to his home. But after returning home, he became more and more afraid. The death of Dongfang Yehuai was not a trivial matter. He was the biggest suspect in this matter.
Is that all?
He was sitting uneasily in the hall, his mind was in confusion, and he was thinking over and over again. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Finally, he called his servant and said in a hurry: "Go and ask Elder Jin to come, hurry up!"
The servant didn't need to ask who the elder Jin he was talking about knew he was referring to Jin Xuan. The only elder who usually interacted with his master was Jin Xuan. The servant responded and ran out quickly.
Not long after he walked out, he came back. At the same time, Jin Xuan strode in from outside. "Brother, I heard that you killed Dongfang Yehuai?" Jin Xuan asked impatiently as soon as he entered the hall.
Huangfu Xiutai smiled bitterly and said, "Junior sister, have you heard about this too? Junior sister, don't you believe that it was Dongfang Yehuai who was killed by senior brother?"
"Now that this matter has spread all over the city, how could I not know about it? Moreover, Elder Dongfang's disciples have spread the news to all the elders and want to join forces to punish you! Senior brother, what is going on? Why is Elder Dongfang's
The disciples insist that it was you who killed their master?"
"Alas!" Huangfu Xiutai also realized that the matter was more serious than he expected. He shook his head repeatedly and told Jin Xuan the entire story of his visit to Dongfang Yehuai.
The more Jin Xuan listened, the deeper her frown deepened. She knew her senior brother relatively well. If it was indeed his senior brother who did it, he would never lie in front of her. However, Dongfang Yehuai could not be violent for no reason.
Since the death was not caused by senior brother, then Wei Biao is the most suspicious. She asked: "Senior brother, you said... it was Wei Biao who took the initiative to come to you to visit Elder Dongfang?"
Huangfu Xiutai nodded his head and said: "Yes, otherwise, how could I go up the pole to visit Dongfang Yehuai? It was Wei Biao who said in front of me that I can only show it by visiting Dongfang Yehuai at this time.
I have a broad mind, which will help me win the position of Holy King... Could it be that Junior Sister thinks that he is doing something secretly?"
Jin Xuan shook his head, nodded again, and said thoughtfully: "Although I'm not sure, I'm pretty close!"
After pondering for a while, she murmured: "I'm afraid, senior brother has been fooled and fell into the trick of that old thief Nie Zhen. Now that Elder Dongfang has been killed, senior brother is the most suspicious, and Nie Zhen can just sit back and watch from the other side.
The throne of the Holy King!"
A word to wake up the dreamer. Huangfu Xiutai let out a sigh of realization, stamped his feet repeatedly, and said angrily: "What a cunning and insidious thief, I will go find him to settle the score now!" After saying this, he strode out with a quick stride.
Walk.
Jin Xuan hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him: "Senior brother, what's the use of looking for Nie Zhen now? Even if he is really causing trouble in secret, how can he admit it?"
"Then...junior sister, what do you think senior brother should do now?"
"This matter is full of doubts, and I still can't figure out how Wei Biao killed Elder Dongfang."
Huangfu Xiutai calmed down and thought about it, and said: "Yes, at that time, he had no contact with Dongfang Yehuai at all, and he was far away from the bed. Could it really be his doing?"
Jin Xuan narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "If you want to find out the truth of the matter, you can only find a corpse for an autopsy..."
Huangfu Xiutai nodded repeatedly and responded: "Yes, as long as the autopsy is done, everything will be clear."
Jin Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that Elder Dongfang's disciples won't allow us to do an autopsy!"
After all, it doesn’t mean that it’s not said! Huangfu Xiutai looked at Jin Xuan helplessly and rubbed his hands in anxiety. Jin Xuan said sternly: "The King of Sichuan will definitely intervene in this matter, and the people of Sichuan will definitely come to the door.
Come on, senior brother, you have to make preparations early!"
"Prepare? Prepare for what? Do you want me to run away? I didn't do it, so why should I run away? I'm not going anywhere, I'm just waiting at home, but I want to see who dares to come to the house to accuse me!" Huangfu Xiu
Tai said in a deep voice, and then sat down.
"If the Sichuan people come with a large group of troops, what will happen to senior brother? Once senior brother and the Sichuan army come into contact and there are casualties, there will be no room for recovery. The lessons learned by Guang Han are still fresh in his mind. Is it possible that senior brother is so fast?
Just forget it?”
Huangfu Xiutai had a cold war. When it comes to fighting alone, he is not afraid of anyone now, but the Sichuan army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Even a master like Guang Hanting died tragically in the rebel army, let alone himself?
He pondered for a while and asked: "Junior sister, is it true that Brother Wei really wants to take this scapegoat and run away without any reason?"
Jin Xuan shook his head and said: "There is still a way, ask His Highness Feng Wang for help!"
Huangfu Xiutai was startled and said in surprise: "Looking for the Wind King?"
"That's right! When we discussed the candidate for the new Holy King last time in the palace, Feng Wang was obviously on the side of senior brother. Now that such a big thing has happened, only Feng Wang can help senior brother, and only Feng Ren can resist Sichuan.
People!" Jin Xuan said seriously.
"But, will Tang Yin really help me?" In the eyes of others, he and Tang Yin were in the same boat, but he knew in his own mind that Tang Yin didn't like him, and was full of hostility. Of course, he
The same is true for Tang Yin.
Jin Xuan said slowly: "I can't control that much now. I can only treat a dead horse as a living doctor! If the Feng King is willing to help you this time, senior brother will be able to overcome this difficulty. If the Feng King is unwilling to help senior brother, we...
…Let’s take a long-term view!”
"Okay! I listen to you, junior sister!" Now Huangfu Show Stage had no idea. He was going to do whatever Jin Xuan said. He asked: "Junior sister, should I go find Tang Yin now?"
Jin Xuan rolled his eyes at him and shook his head helplessly. Now you are asking for help from others, and you still call them by their first names. As a senior brother, he seems to be aloof and arrogant, but in fact he doesn't understand the world at all.
She said: "It is not appropriate for senior brother to come forward. I will make this trip on behalf of senior brother!"
Huangfu Xiutai immediately smiled and said, "This is the best." If he was asked to ask Tang Yin for help in a low voice, he really didn't know how to ask.
Jin Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, then walked out without saying anything.
Looking at Jin Xuan's back, Huangfu Xiutai reminded: "Junior sister, be careful."
"It's you, senior brother, who should be careful. Before I come back, you don't go anywhere. No matter who comes, you stay behind closed doors. If you can't help it, you have to delay it as much as possible until I come back!" Jin Xuan turned around uneasily.
warned.
"Junior sister, don't worry! Brother, I will listen to you!"
Jin Xuan did not dare to delay any longer, so she left Huangfu Xiutai's home and rode straight to Fengying where Tang Yin was. It was unfortunate that Jin Xuan came because when she arrived at Fengying, Tang Yin happened to be away and went to Youdian instead.
In the past few days, Tang Yin went to Youdian almost every day and stayed there for a whole day. He barely had food and accommodation there. People who didn't know about it thought that Tang Yin had the same problem as Guang Hanting, and he liked being in Youdian.
He is practicing in seclusion!
Of course Tang Yin had his own reasons. The reason why he went to Youdian every day was just to see the man sealed in the glacier.
When Jin Xuan learned that Tang Yin was in Youdian, he immediately rushed over, but just at this time Tang Yin came back.
Seeing Tang Yin, Yin Lan first hurried forward to greet him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my subordinates found a secret room in Guang Hanting's palace and found a treasure in it!"
Tang Yin was not very interested in those rare treasures. He just nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at Jin Xuan and said with a smile: "Elder Jin, why are you so free today that you are willing to come to my camp?"
"
Jin Xuan stepped forward, bowed and said, "I came here this time to ask for something, and I hope that Your Highness will be willing to help."
"Oh?" Tang Yin said with a smile: "Elder Jin, if you have anything to say, just tell me, there is no need to be polite to me!"
