"So it's the master's method?" Zhao Yancheng said.
Deng Yue said: "Of course there is no evidence and no one has seen it, but with the way these people died and how they died without anyone noticing, I am afraid that no one in the world except the master has such means."
"Couldn't someone frame the master?" Zhao Yancheng snorted.
Deng Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the only one in the world who has such magical powers is the master. Others who want to frame the master have no such means."
"That's not necessarily the case." Zhao Yancheng shook his head and said: "Butian Tower can do it. They are everywhere. Once they want to take revenge on the master and cannot assassinate him, it is also possible to frame the master by taking action from various places at the same time.
"
"This..." Deng Yue hesitated and nodded slowly: "It is indeed possible."
Theoretically, this is true, but the Butian Tower assassin has its limits. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot kill a prince silently. If this were to happen, Butian Tower would have dominated the world for a long time. How could it end up like this?
ending.
Zhao Yancheng said: "Maybe Butian Tower has found a strange poison. After being poisoned, it will smile and then die silently. The poisoning method is powerful, so no one notices."
Xu Changfeng shook his head and couldn't listen anymore. He cupped his fists and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, poisoning a prince is not easy. It is no more difficult than assassinating him."
"What if this poison is colorless and odorless?" Zhao Yancheng snorted.
"This..." Xu Changfeng hesitated and nodded slowly: "It is really possible that there is such a strange poison."
Deng Yue said: "Your Majesty, if there is such a strange poison, it may not be the hand of Butian Tower, it may be any force. That would be troublesome, and we must be careful and vigilant!"
He was actually sure that this was Chu Li's doing, but since the emperor was so excused, he would not point it out without knowing it. Looking at Xu Changfeng's hesitant expression on the side, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Xu Changfeng said: "Your Majesty, if there is really a strange poison, the lives of all the princes..."
"They want to blame the master, so naturally they won't do anything." Zhao Yancheng said.
"Exactly." Deng Yue nodded quickly, earning a look of contempt and ridicule from Xu Changfeng.
Xu Changfeng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if that's the case, how about asking the master face to face?"
A monk does not lie, and with his character as a divine monk, he would definitely admit it frankly if he did it. Once he does this, the officials in the imperial court will be even less able to tolerate him in the capital, and the emperor will have no way to suppress it.
This can be regarded as breaking the taboos and tacit understanding between the countries. No matter how fierce the conflict between the two countries is, it will not affect the safety of the royal children. Otherwise, once this bad start is made, everyone in the royal family will not be in peace.
"...Gu Yuanhe, ask Anfu to come over!" Zhao Yancheng said.
"Yes." Gu Yuanhe responded from his feet and left Xuanyuan Hall.
After a while, Princess Anfu came to the main hall and said lazily: "Father, I am taking a nap, what can I do?"
"Deng Yue!" Zhao Yancheng said.
Deng Yue hurriedly saluted and then explained the matter.
"What a relief!" Princess Anfu smiled brightly and said, "This is Master warning them. If they do something stupid again, it will not only be the prince who will die, but also themselves!"
"This is pure nonsense!" Zhao Yancheng said solemnly: "Do you think the emperors of various countries can accept this threat?"
"Of course." Princess Anfu smiled.
Zhao Yancheng said: "This will only completely anger the three of them, and they will retaliate like crazy... It is even possible that the three countries will unite and destroy us first. If you can't do it to the master, you can't do anything to us!"
"Then let's give it a try." Princess Anfu tilted her head and said disapprovingly.
Zhao Yancheng said with a serious face: "Is it really the master who did it?"
"Once the master becomes ruthless, he will not be soft-hearted." Princess Anfu said: "I dare to conclude that it was the master who did it!"
"Alas..." Zhao Yancheng shook his head and sighed.
He secretly rejoiced that Anfu had become the master's disciple. Otherwise, if he had any conflict with the master, it would be a big trouble. Now that Anfu is the heir to the master's mantle, he doesn't have to worry about anything else.
While they were talking, the guard's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, there are subordinates of Commander Deng outside who are looking for him anxiously."
"Go and have a look." Zhao Yancheng waved his hand.
Deng Yue cupped his fists and bowed, then exited the hall.
After a while, he came back and whispered: "Your Majesty, three more groups of people have arrived in the capital. They are more numerous and more elite than the last time. They are all warriors who have fought a hundred battles and were sent to be dead soldiers."
"Are you going for the master?" Zhao Yancheng asked.
Deng Yue said: "They have approached Ruyi Temple and surrounded them. I have already warned them not to attack easily."
Princess Anfu said excitedly: "I'll go take a look!"
"Anfu, you stay here!" Zhao Yancheng said: "Aren't you afraid that they are trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
Princess Anfu was startled, the excitement on her face faded, and she sighed: "We really have to be on guard!"
"Your Majesty, I'll go over and take a look." Deng Yue said, clasping his fists and gently exiting.
But he came back soon, entered the hall and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, I have just received news that two more princes have died!"
"Dead again?" Zhao Yancheng frowned.
Deng Yue said: "Da Shuo, Kun and Daning, two princes each died, but they still have the same smile. It seems that the master has not given up, but I don't know if he will continue to kill."
"That's because Master saw it and sent someone to assassinate him!" Princess Anfu said disapprovingly.
"But..." Deng Yue hesitated.
Logically speaking, the assassin has just been seen here, and someone has died over there, so the timing doesn't match up.
Princess Anfu looked at Zhao Yancheng.
Zhao Yancheng sighed: "It seems that it was indeed the master's fault."
He knew that Chu Li had the ability to move the void, and now that An Fu had mastered it, Master Dingru could only move faster. When he saw the assassins outside Ruyi Temple, he acted immediately and directly assassinated the two princes.
The message from Deng Yue's side was transmitted through a kind of magic. It only took half an hour to transmit. Of course, a huge price had to be paid, but such important news had to be transmitted at a cost.
Princess Anfu said: "Let's see if they dare to assassinate me this time!"
Deng Yue said: "If the master is in the temple, these assassins will not be able to escape."
Princess Anfu hummed: "Master is not that pedantic. If he keeps them alive, he must be killed."
Deng Yue said: "I come over and have a look!"
He hurriedly walked out again, and soon came back, clasping his fists and saying: "Your Majesty, it is indeed as we expected, there are more corpses lying on the ground outside Ruyi Temple, and none of the five hundred assassins were spared."
His expression was complicated. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he smiled when he saw five hundred corpses, and he got goosebumps all over his body just thinking about it.
"Alas..." Zhao Yancheng said: "It seems that I have to go to Ruyi Temple in person."
"Then go, I will follow my father." Princess Anfu said.
"Let's go!" Zhao Yancheng said in a deep voice.
Gu Yuanhe, Xu Changfeng and Deng Yue followed closely, but did not advise him to be cautious and leave the palace easily without a good farewell. With Princess Anfu around, they were all worried about Zhao Yancheng's safety.
When everyone arrived at Ruyi Temple, tranquility had been restored. The door of Ruyi Temple opened, and Chu Li stood on the steps wearing a gray robe and looked at them with a smile.
