The ink is dry. This is indeed a detail that is easy to ignore, because when Qin Feng and Xia Qianjie saw that King Chu was dead, Qin Feng erased the murderous meaning in the words and saw the three words Xue Tianchong.
By that time, my heart had already been replaced by shock and anger. How could I have the mind to pay attention to such trivial matters as whether the ink was dry or wet...
The King of Chu had obviously died not long ago, and the imperial guards outside had obviously died not long ago. Even their blood was still warm, so the ink on the paper shouldn't be dry!
Because according to Qin Feng's previous speculation, the words on this piece of paper should have been written casually by Xue Tianchong while sitting at the desk when he witnessed the death of King Chu and Prince Chu.
However, if the words on the paper were written just now, how could they be written in such a short period of time? Moreover, Qin Feng remembered that the paper was originally pressed by a small teacup in the center.
.If the words on the paper were just written, who would be so stupid as to just finish writing with a brush and then press a teacup directly on it? He wouldn't worry that the teacup would scratch the writing?
From these details, it is easy to infer the truth. That is, the words on the paper were originally dry and were not just written down at all!
Whether the handwriting was just written, or was written a day or two ago, this does not seem to be too important at first glance. But if you know this and combine it with the content of the words, then
You can see some other things.
"King Daqian Qin, I originally planned to kill you here, but after thinking about it seriously, the price I paid was a bit too high and not worth it. After all, you are only the second person on my must-kill list.
.So I'm sorry that I led you here but didn't see you. Finally, I hope you can leave Motie Country safely, because in this case, things will become more interesting after I break through Yumen Pass."
At first, when Qin Feng saw the sentence "I led you here, but I didn't see you.", he subconsciously thought that the note was left by Xue Tianchong, but due to other reasons, Xue Tianchong left here first.
However, now it seems that this is not the case at all. This note was written long ago, even before Qin Feng came to Yishui City.
This means that as early as a day or two ago, before King Chu died, Xue Chongtian had already written that note when he expected Qin Feng to come to Motie's palace.
In other words, Xue Tianchong should have left the palace a day or two before he wrote the note. And the place he was most likely to go to after leaving was naturally Yumen Pass!
No, it is more likely that Xue Tianchong has never been to the palace during the recent period! He has always been in the military camp not far from Yumen Pass! And this note was not written by him in the palace at all, but
After I wrote it down in the military camp, I was sent here again.
Qin Feng couldn't help but think of such a scene. The note written by Xue Tianchong was brought to the kingdom by one of his envoys. The envoy conveyed Xue Tianchong's order, so the four imperial guards in the palace did not
He hesitated and killed the King of Chu who had been controlled for a long time and had no power to resist.
Prince Chu who witnessed all this happened was so frightened that he wanted to run away. Cui Yuan, the commander of the imperial guards, threw out the mountain and river sword given by the emperor in his hand, hitting Prince Chu in the back!
However, Prince Chu escaped outside the door after all, and his shouts attracted the attention of the ordinary guards. So the four powerful commanders coldly and ruthlessly killed all the guards under their former command, and not a single one of them was killed. No one left. That's why Qin Feng saw many different wounds on the bodies of the Imperial Guards.
As for the envoy who conveyed Xue Tianchong's order, he looked at the bloody things happening in the palace with a smile, and sipped tea leisurely. Finally, before leaving, he pressed the note he had prepared long ago on the Under the tea cup!
At this moment, Qin Feng almost thought of the entire development of the matter. However, even though Qin Feng thought of this, he still couldn't figure out what Xue Tianchong's purpose was in bringing him to the palace.
Luring, yes, it is indeed luring. Although he guessed that there might be some changes in Daqian's mission when he was at Kongsang Mountain seven days ago, so he wanted to investigate. However, the reason why Qin Feng was able to step in step by step The palace, but is inseparable from Xue Tianchong.
Qin Feng's cultivation level was too low and he couldn't fly. Therefore, due to many restrictions on the terrain, his speed on the road was far unable to compare with those warriors with flying martial spirits, so he spent seven days on the road. But still Precisely because he could not fly, he was traveling at a slower pace, so he heard some news on the way.
That was the news that the Daqian envoy was going to be beheaded. It was the news that prompted Qin Feng to rush towards Yishui City without stopping.
Moreover, Xia Qianjie once said that the Motie Kingdom's beheading of the Daqian messenger seemed to be deliberately catering to the time when he rushed to Yishui City. It seemed that it was intended to make him witness the tragic death of the Daqian messenger with his own eyes, thus irritating him. ...
"Intentionally attracting me here, and intentionally irritating me... It should be that he hopes to enmity between me and the Motie Kingdom, but what happened in the palace was full of flaws." Qin Feng frowned in confusion.
Just at this moment, the gloomy voice of Lord Governor rang out: "You can go. Although I want to believe you and know that you did not kill our King of Chu, others may not think so. Perhaps, for some From a human perspective, even if they knew it was not you who killed King Chu, they would still kill you at all costs."
Qin Feng woke up from his meditation and quickly understood the meaning of Lord Dutong's words.
Yes, even if there is sufficient evidence to prove that he was not the one who killed the King of Chu, so what? Even if the governor is willing to believe Qin Feng, so what?
The King of Chu died, and so did the Prince of Chu, but in the Motie Kingdom, there were still three princes, and even several less mature princes. When the news of the death of the King of Chu came out, those princes and princes The forces behind it are likely to focus their attention on the throne as soon as possible.
As for who can win the throne, in many cases, in addition to the strength of his own power, the support of public opinion is also very important. Although Qin Feng did not kill the King of Chu, he is always suspected of killing the King of Chu. It is unknown. The truth is that ordinary people in Motie will still have a lot of hatred for Qin Feng.
At that time, for all the princes, whoever can kill Qin Feng to avenge the King of Chu and wash away the shame for Motie. Then whoever can get the most support from the public, the most support from sergeants and other forces ...
Therefore, there will always be many people willing to kill Qin Feng at this time. Therefore, everything Xue Tianchong did was not meaningless.
Thinking of this, the expression on Qin Feng's face suddenly froze, and he suddenly realized something. He felt that the reason why he could not guess Xue Tianchong's purpose was probably because he thought about things too complicatedly.
Although the whole thing was Xue Tianchong's plan, no matter how smart Xue Tianchong was, he couldn't have predicted everything. For example, Xue Tianchong couldn't have predicted that when he made a big fuss in Yishui City, he would deliberately avoid the people and even save a young man. The girl couldn't have expected that the governor would let him into the palace easily, and even if he saw King Chu dead, he would still be willing to let him go.
Therefore, in order to guess Xue Tianchong's purpose, it is better to consider it from the simplest aspect and read between the lines.
Qin Feng's eyes fell on the piece of paper again and saw the first sentence on the piece of paper, "Daqian King Qin, I originally wanted to kill you here, but after thinking about it seriously, the price I paid was too high after all. big."
Qin Feng's brows gradually wrinkled and then relaxed. It is not difficult to see that Xue Tianchong had the intention to kill him for some reason, but he felt that the price to pay was too high, so he did not come.
This sentence may seem slightly contradictory, because according to common sense, since Xue Tianchong decided not to kill him for the time being, then he should do nothing.
But Xue Tianchong did a lot of things to lure him here deliberately, and even left a note for him on a special trip.
"In the battle at Luoji Valley seven days ago, General Yelu fled. If Xue Tianchong had seen General Yelu, then he should know that warriors below the fifth level of Zhenwu are no match for me. Even if there are one or two experts left, they can't kill me."
"If he knew he couldn't kill me and deliberately lured me here... was it to hold me back?" Thinking of this, Qin Feng shook his head slightly and laughed at himself: "But he is a Nirvana warrior. Why does he value me so much? He even said on paper that he was worried that killing me would cost too much, so he didn't come to see me. Could it be that he was afraid of me?"
However, just such an extremely self-deprecating and even somewhat arrogant idea suddenly made Qin Feng's mind flash with thunder and made him think of many things.
He thought of the dragon scales that emerged from his body on the rainy night seven days ago, and of the frightening power that emerged from his blood! He thought of General Yelu, who had the sixth level of Zhenwu, just being rubbed by the wind of a fist. When he arrived, he was forced to cut off one of his arms and fled in a hurry!
Fear, yes! General Yelu was afraid at the beginning! Faced with that kind of power, even Qin Feng himself felt fear! If General Yelu told Xue Tianchong about this, then Xue Tianchong would have no reason not to be afraid!
Because it is a power like a giant dragon, a powerful power that exceeds the limits of the so-called cultivation realm!
Although Qin Feng himself knew that he had temporarily suppressed that power, Xue Tianchong did not know this! So Xue Tianchong felt troubled and even felt fear!
"So that's it! Xue Tianchong never thought of killing me from the beginning, because in his opinion, in addition to the Nirvana realm warriors, he sent several Zhenwu realm warriors to lay a trap inside the palace, and he just let his men die. .So Xue Tianchong simply sent an envoy directly, asking the four imperial guards who had been conquered by him to retreat, and also killed His Majesty the King of Chu."
"The ultimate goal of Xue Tianchong's bringing me here is to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack Yumen Pass while I am in Yishui City!"
"As for leaving this piece of paper on a special trip..." Qin Feng stared at the last sentence on the piece of paper, "Finally, I hope you can leave Motie Country safely, because in this case, things will be settled after I break through Yumen Pass.
It’s going to be a little more interesting.”
Feeling Xue Tianchong's determination and confidence in breaking through Yumen Pass, and feeling the provocative meaning between the lines. Qin Feng felt that this was Xue Tianchong declaring war on him!
Xue Tianchong means that after Yumen Pass is breached, he will fight Qin Feng!
At the same time, this also means that at this moment, the army stationed outside Tianliang County has already marched towards Yumen Pass! And Qin Feng, who is far away in Yishui City, can no longer rush back to Yumen Pass before the army arrives at Yumen Pass!
