The entire Yongdu was shrouded in dense water lines. Wanyan Chixiong had just finished practicing his marksmanship. He was standing in the empty courtyard of the Hongshan Chamber of Commerce with his upper body bare and his gun drawn. His sculptural muscle outlines were washed away and beaten by the rain.
A mist of mist formed around his body, adding a bit of mystery to him. It is rare to encounter such a rainy day in the desert. Wanyan Chixiong is like a big tree that has been experiencing drought for a long time, standing proudly in the wind and rain.
During the trip, he felt the cleansing and moistening of this spring rain. The rain seemed to have soaked into every cell and joint of his body, making him feel the pleasure of physical and mental relaxation from the bottom of his heart.
Zha Wan twisted his short and fat body, protected his huge head with his hands, ran towards Wanyan Chixiong quickly, and exclaimed: "Your Highness, the fourth prince, why don't you go to the corridor to take shelter from the rain?"
Wanyan Chixiong laughed loudly, then grabbed the big gun and strode into the wind and rain pavilion. As soon as he entered the pavilion, Lahan came over and put a cotton blanket on him.
Wanyan Chixiong wiped the rain off his body and face, grabbed a large bowl of kumiss on the stone table, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, shouting: "It's so happy! It's so happy! It's rare to see it in our black beards."
Such heavy rain?"
Zha Wan said: "His Royal Highness, you are joking. It is still a severe winter in our country and there may be heavy snowfall."
Wanyan Chixiong sighed and said: "I, Heihu, have to spend almost eight months of the year in the bitter cold. Under the same sky, why are we Hu people and Han people treated so differently?"
There was a muffled thunder that shook the ground, and Zha Wan couldn't help but shrink his thick and short neck.
Wanyan Chixiong said: "In the near future, I will definitely let us barbarians come to the Central Plains to graze and no longer have to endure the severe cold in Mobei."
Zha Wan said: "Your Highness, Fourth Prince, has just received the confirmed news that Qichen Palace was infiltrated by killers last night and Princess Anping was poisoned and died."
Wanyan Chixiong was shocked when he heard the news. Princess Anping died? Doesn't it mean that the marriage between Dayong and Dakang has been completely destroyed? It is also possible that the two countries will turn against each other because of this. This is a big deal for Heihu
good news.
Wanyan Chixiong asked: "Do you know who did it?"
Zha Wan said: "I heard that the three people involved in the assassination were all from the Banlan Sect. They were three of the ten disciples of the old monster Beizawa. They colluded with Yang Xuan of the Detachment of Women to create this incident."
Wanyan Chixiong laughed: "Okay! Okay! Okay!" After saying three good words in a row, he thought of an extremely critical question: "Then isn't Yang Xuan a subordinate of Huo Shengnan?"
Zha Wan nodded with a smile and said: "Exactly, according to the information I got. It was not only Yang Xuan who participated in the assassination, but also more than ten other subordinates. After the assassination, Yang Xuan escaped with her
Also missing are eight female soldiers, all of whom were Huo Shengnan's most loyal subordinates in the past."
Wanyan Chixiong smiled and said, "Doesn't that mean she is in big trouble?"
Zha Wan nodded and said: "Seventh Prince Xue Daoming was devastated by Long Xiyue's death and vowed in public to get to the bottom of the matter. It is reported that he has already arrested Huo Shengnan and her group of men from Qichen Palace.
"
Wanyan Chixiong said: "This is good news."
Zha Wan said: "It seems that Yong City has been in a state of turmoil these days. Your Highness, we should also proceed with caution."
Wanyan Chixiong glared at him with some dissatisfaction: "What should I be careful about?"
Zha Wan said: "The assassination of Princess Anping is by no means a trivial matter. It is impossible for the Dayong side not to give an explanation to the Dakang side."
Wanyan Chixiong sneered: "It has nothing to do with us, we just want to watch the show."
Zhawan was not as optimistic as Wanyan Chixiong. Although the assassination of Princess Anping had nothing to do with them, it was an undeniable fact that this incident was beneficial to Heihu. As long as it was beneficial, others would suspect them.
Wanyan Chixiong is not a fool. He certainly knows what Zhawan is worried about. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's something we haven't done before. No one can rely on us. By the way, help me prepare.
Reasonably enough, I should come to express my condolences."
Hu Xiaotian and Shi Kuan took two things, the Bingso Calm Bead and the Cold Jade Coffin, and returned to Qichen Palace. It was already dead of night when they arrived.
The lights in Qichen Palace were cold, and Princess Anping had passed away. Naturally, there was no need for tight security. Huo Shengnan and her men were all taken away. Currently, the twelve Golden Scale Guards are responsible for the security here. They brought many to Jimin.
People came over to help. Sun Weiyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Dayong, had been here all day and had just gone back to rest. He also transferred some people from the Ministry of Rites to help, and temporarily built a mourning hall in the outer garden for the purpose of condolences for those who came.
There are very few people who come to express condolences, which is an important reason why Dakang's status today is not as good as before.
Everyone carried the cold jade coffin to the inner garden first and put it temporarily under the corridor. Hu Xiaotian only said that according to Dakang's rules, the princess could not be buried now, and the body could only be sent to the coffin after a day and night. The real reason
But when he saw that the cold jade coffin was tightly sealed, he was worried that if he put Xiyan in it all night, she might be suffocated to death inside.
After everything was settled, Hu Xiaotian came to the princess's room alone. The two little palace maids, also dressed in plain clothes, knelt in front of the princess's window and cried non-stop. In fact, they had no relationship with the Dakang princess at all.
, it is their duty to kneel here and cry. It is not hard work to invest in false emotions for a long time.
Hu Xiaotian waved his hand and said: "You guys go out first!"
The two little palace maids were relieved in their hearts and exited while wiping away tears. In fact, they had no tears at all.
Hu Xiaotian came to Xiyan alone. He first listened to the movements around him. As his cultivation of the Wuxiang Divine Art deepened, his perception became stronger and stronger. Any slight movement within three feet of the room would be ignored.
Unable to escape his ears, and making sure that no one was prying, he took out the brocade box containing the Bingpo Calming Bead from his arms, and said to Xi Yan via voice transmission: "I am coming, Big Bingpo Calming Bead."
Emperor Yong also gave you a good coffin, the cold jade coffin."
Xi Yan's beautiful eyes opened a thin slit and she whispered: "You are so carefree. Do you know how hard it is for people to lie here and pretend to be dead?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Carefree? I have been busy all day and I don't even have time to drink water. Girl, please listen to me and tell me business. Emperor Dayong has agreed to our request to return tomorrow."
Xi Yan said: "You want to leave tomorrow?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Isn't it for your sake that we can't let you lie here and pretend to be dead all the time?"
Xi Yan said: "Don't forget what you promised me."
"What did I promise you?"
"Help me kill Wanyan Chixiong!"
Hu Xiaotian only felt his scalp tightening. When had he promised her? Yan Yan had indeed made this request before, but he did not agree at that time, and Xi Yan never mentioned it again. Hu Xiaotian thought that the matter had been settled, but
Unexpectedly, this girl still hasn’t given up on this idea.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. In this situation, it is best for us to leave Dayong as soon as possible, otherwise..."
"What else?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled apologetically and said, "Girl, please be more sensible."
"Hu Xiaotian, don't you know that women are often irrational? I am the most irrational one. Once I decide to do something, I will definitely get it done."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't harm others or yourself!"
Xi Yan said: "You don't have to be afraid. Since you don't have the courage, I won't force you. Anyway, you go your way to the Yangguan Road and I'll go my single-plank bridge."
"In the end what you want?"
Xi Yan said: "Just give me the Bingso Soul Concentration Pearl!"
Hu Xiaotian opened the brocade box, and there was a simple jade box inside. When he opened the box, he saw a light blue pearl in it, the size of a longan, emitting a faint halo. As soon as he opened the jade box, he felt
A strong cold air hit his face. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but turn away and sneezed twice in succession. When he turned around again, he found that the Bingso Calm Bead in the box was gone, and he looked at Xi Yan lying there.
He stopped moving and started pretending to be dead again.
Hu Xiaozhen couldn't laugh or cry. He expected that Xi Yan took the opportunity to take away the Bing Po Calm Bead when he was sneezing. He whispered in Xi Yan's ear: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Xi Yan was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Hu Xiaotian asked several questions in a row, but she never responded, and she felt it was boring. Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Since you don't want to talk, then I have to have you put into the cold jade coffin."
This time the threat actually worked, Xi Yan said: "How dare you!"
"There is really nothing in this world that I, Hu Xiaotian, dare not do."
Xi Yan said: "Since you are so curious, I will reveal some information to you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "What news?"
Xi Yan said: "Something big will happen at three quarters tonight."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked. Xiyan was really going to take action, but he didn't know what she wanted to do. He whispered: "Be specific."
Xi Yan said lazily: "You don't have to worry so much. As long as you protect your own life, you can leave Yongdu and return to Dakang early tomorrow morning."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not interesting for you to say that. We have a cooperative relationship in public, and we have worshiped in private. Shouldn't you tell me what you want to do first, so that I can understand something in my mind?"
Prepare."
Xiyan said: "I want to kill Wanyan Chixiong, but you don't want to take the risk with me. It's useless to talk about it. In short, don't stay here at that time."
Hu Xiaotian knew that she had an eccentric temperament and was moody. If she had made up her mind, it would be difficult for her to change easily. What's more, at this time, it was not the time to persuade her. Since she was so sure of what she said, someone might try to persuade her.
She agreed. This matter must be prepared for the worst, and it was not easy to create today's situation, but one must not make one mistake and cause the whole situation to be lost.
