Daharu burst out laughing at the side, and Hu Xiaotian glared at this guy, which was really embarrassing. In fact, except Zhan Peng, no one else knew that Hu Xiaotian and Murong Feiyan were old friends, and thought that Hu Xiaotian saw
This female general was beautiful, so she took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Murong Feiyan said: "I am Rong Feiyan, the deputy commander of the Phoenix Guards of Tianxiang Kingdom! Are you satisfied?" After saying that, she said to the people behind her: "Salt up the body and the others will start searching on the spot. We must not let it go.
A killer escapes!"
Hu Xiaotian looked at Murong Feiyan, who was as cold as ice, and sighed in his heart, satisfied? How could I be satisfied? But seeing how Murong Feiyan turned a blind eye to him, no matter how shameless he was to strike up a conversation, she probably wouldn't talk to him, so he could only
Suppress the desire in your heart and choose to leave here first.
Heldan's mood was naturally greatly affected after experiencing this bridge assassination. His original plan to go drinking with Hu Xiaotian had to be temporarily abandoned. He thanked Hu Xiaotian for his help and said goodbye to Hu Xiaotian, despite the weather;; +
It was hot, but after he fell into the water, his clothes were all soaked, like a drowned rat, and he didn't want to show off to others in such a mess.
Hu Xiaotian and Zhan Peng returned to Cuiyuan together. Zhan Peng had told Hu Xiaotian about Murong Feiyan before. When he saw Hu Xiaotian and Murong Feiyan seeing each other but not meeting each other tonight, he thought that Hu Xiaotian's mood would definitely be affected, so he also
I didn't dare to ask him proactively.
When he came to the front of Cuiyuan, Hu Xiaotian turned over and dismounted, sighed and said: "She said her name is Rong Feiyan!"
Zhan Peng nodded, looked at Hu Xiaotian with some sympathy and said, "I wonder what happened to Miss Murong? She seems to have forgotten us at all."
Hu Xiaotian raised his head and looked at the gradually rounding moon in the sky and said thoughtfully: "There are some things that some people will never forget."
Zhan Peng said: "Master, are you saying that she deliberately disowned us?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and did not answer Zhan Peng's question because he didn't know the answer either.
Zhao Wusheng was secretly shocked when he heard what Hu Xiaotian had encountered on the way. But fortunately, the assassination was aimed at Prince Herdan of Sharjah. Hu Xiaotian probably just happened to be traveling with Herdan and encountered this accident, and he was not injured. For them,
This incident is an early warning. Applying for the Tianxiang Kingdom's Prince Consort does not seem to be as beautiful as it seems on the surface, and it may also be life-threatening.
Zhao Wusheng was ordered to follow Xie Tianqiong today and also found something. Xie Tianqiong was alert and seemed to notice something during the process. Zhao Wusheng thought he was discovered by him, but later he found out that Xie Tianqiong found another person who was following him. Xie Tianqiong deliberately
Lead the man to a secluded place and kill him with a sword.
Hu Xiaotian was also surprised when he heard this: "Do you know who is following him?"
Zhao Wusheng shook his head and said: "I don't know. After Xie Tianqiong killed that man, three more people joined him because he was worried about being discovered by them. I didn't dare to go too close, but I vaguely heard their conversation.
It seems that they have taken a few orders and want to kill the people on the list."
Hu Xiaotian pondered: "So Xie Tianqiong is a professional killer? He makes a living by killing people and getting bounties?"
Zhao Wusheng said: "No matter what he does, as long as he does not endanger the safety of the lord, we are too lazy to meddle in his business."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. What Zhao Wusheng said was correct. He and Xie Tianqiong just met by chance. At that time, they also admired his swordsmanship, so they came to the rescue. There was no friendship at all, so it didn't matter what he did.
At this time, Liang Yinghao, who was in charge of inquiring about the news in the city, also came back. After running around for a day, his mouth was dry, so he turned off a bowl of water first, and then said: "Something happened. Three people were killed in Piaoxiang City tonight, all of them I came here to apply for the consort."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who are the dead people?"
Liang Yinghao said: "There doesn't seem to be anyone too important. I heard that even the prince of Sharjah was attacked on the way." When he said this, he saw the expressions of several people were different, and suddenly realized something, and said with concern: " My lord, you didn’t encounter any trouble tonight, did you?”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I happened to be at the scene when Heldan was assassinated. It seems that even before the ninth day of September, some people can't wait and want to take the lead in eradicating their competitors."
Zhao Wusheng said: "We are all guests from far away. If Tianxiang Kingdom cannot guarantee the safety of these guests, they will definitely be ridiculed by everyone in the world."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that someone wants to take advantage of this moment to create chaos."
Zhan Peng said: "Is it the Queen Mother of Tianxiang Kingdom?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "It's impossible. It was her idea to choose a prince-in-law in the face of the world. How could she shoot herself in the foot?"
Liang Yinghao asked: "Could it be King Fu? He and Long Xuanjiao are not on good terms, and he will definitely seize every opportunity to go against her."
Hu Xiaotian thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Although this possibility is not ruled out, creating such an incident would not be of great benefit to him, and it might also expose him prematurely. King Fu is a calm person. , It stands to reason that she would not take risks easily." He paused and said: "Many people have clearly seen Long Xuanjiao's purpose. She wants to find the most beneficial ally by recruiting a consort. In the end, The purpose is still to join forces to deal with Dakang, and maybe Dakang will not remain indifferent."
Zhao Wusheng said: "It's still early before the Double Ninth Festival. I don't think there will be peace during this period."
Liang Yinghao said: "Master, you must be more careful."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said, "If you don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If anyone wants to do harm to me, then he must think that his life is too long."
The news of the assassination of the distinguished guest spread throughout Piaoxiang City overnight, and Tianxiang Kingdom has obviously stepped up its vigilance. The Mid-Autumn Festival is just one day away. These assassinations have also diluted the peaceful atmosphere of the festival a lot. People from all walks of life came to apply for the job. The Prince Consort's guests also began to feel insecure.
News came from the Tianxiang Palace that the registration date for the consort prince consort ended one day earlier, which means that from now on, no one will be accepted anymore.
King Yang Longjing of Tianxiang also held his first court meeting after returning from hunting. As usual, Queen Mother Long Xuanjiao listened to politics behind the curtain.
Yang Longjing didn't sleep well last night. He sat on the throne and yawned twice in succession. He rubbed his eyes, looked around at the ministers and said, "Dear ladies, what do you want me to do?" He hated this kind of lifeless court meeting from the bottom of his heart. , I wish it could end soon.
Wang Jiezhi, the minister of Honglu Temple, walked out of the queue of civil servants, bowed and said in salute: "Your Majesty, the list of applicants for the Consort Consort has been completely registered, and there are a total of 10,125 people who have initially met the conditions."
Yang Longjing was not interested in this and said lazily: "I know."
Suddenly the voice of Queen Mother Long Xuanjiao came from behind the bead curtain: "It should be 10,128 people! Three people were killed last night!"
Wang Jizhi felt sweat on his forehead and whispered: "The Queen Mother Ming Jian..."
Long Xuanjiao's voice suddenly became stern: "Has this list been leaked?"
Wang Qizhi was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that this list was just compiled last night. I dare not reveal even a word of the list to the outside world."
Yang Longjing said in shock: "People are dead? Three people were killed? Why?"
The civil and military officials in the court looked at each other, and many people could not hide their disappointment. As a king of a country, how could he be so perfunctory? He did not pay attention to national affairs at all. He didn't even know that such a big thing happened last night. If it weren't for Zhu
The Queen Mother behind the curtain is presiding over the government, and it is not known what the Tianxiang Parliament will become.
Long Xuanjiao felt her face heat up because of her son's reaction. This boy was really disappointing. Saying this in front of his ministers was simply showing his mediocrity in front of others. How could he trust himself and completely hand over his power?
After reaching his hand, Long Xuanjiao said: "Call Rong Feiyan to come in!"
Not long after, Rong Feiyan, the deputy commander of Feng Ling Guard, walked into the court. After meeting with the Queen Mother, she told her exactly what happened last night and the investigation.
After hearing this, Long Xuanjiao nodded and said: "What is certain at present is that someone wants to use this recruitment of a consort to create chaos. The three people who died last night were all on the preliminary shortlist. The Ai family only hopes that they are not
We have an internal problem." She glanced at Wang Jiezhi coldly: "The final list must be kept strictly confidential, and several rounds of screening must be carried out as soon as possible. During this period, the results of the screening must not be disclosed to the outside world.
Half a word."
Wang Qie said in a trembling voice: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will fulfill my duties and strictly keep secrets."
Long Xuanjiao added: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. From the Mid-Autumn Festival to the ninth day of September next month, there are still more than twenty days. During these twenty days, we must ensure that nothing like this happens again."
After the dynasty was over, Long Xuanjiao left Rong Feiyan alone again. To her, the death of three people was nothing. After all, the three people killed last night did not have strong backgrounds. What really shocked her was
It was about the assassination of the prince of Sharjah on the way.
Rong Feiyan had just told Long Xuanjiao about the investigation: "I am reporting to the Queen Mother that the identities of the corpses found at the scene have been initially identified."
Long Xuanjiao blinked her eyes, showing a look of relief: "Who are those killers?"
Rong Feiyan said: "It can be preliminarily concluded that they are all from Sharjah!"
Long Xuanjiao said in shock: "What? The Sharjah people actually assassinated their own prince?"
Rong Feiyan said: "There are two possibilities. One is that these Sharjah people hate their royal family and want to take this opportunity to assassinate Heerdan. The other possibility is that Heerdan directed and acted in a play."
Long Xuanjiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't make any judgments without evidence."
"yes!"
Long Xuanjiao sighed and said, "The Ai family originally only wanted to promote a good thing, but they didn't expect that there are so many caring people in the world." He paused and asked, "Has your master left seclusion?"
Rong Feiyan said: "No, I should be able to leave the customs in September."
Long Xuanjiao nodded and said: "Feiyan, you have worked really hard during this time." (To be continued.)
