In a brightly lit corridor, a sneaky figure appeared. This person carefully looked around, and after seeing no one around, he quickly walked towards a room with an elegant and bright layout.
In the front hall in the distance, there were sounds of rituals and music, and it was very lively, but this room, which was decorated like a wedding room, was silent. After the man opened the door furtively, inside the room
The main color is white and decorated with colorful ribbons.
At this time, the doors of the wing rooms on both sides were tightly closed. The sneaky figure stood in the hall and after carefully sensing it, he gently pushed open a wing room on the left. At this time, there was only one person in the wing wearing gold.
The face of the woman in a formal gown was also covered by a golden mask.
At this time, the woman was lying on the only bed in the room. The man stepped forward gently, took off the woman's mask, and revealed a face that was as beautiful as a country. But the woman's face was pale.
There was no trace of blood, and there was still a mass of black energy lingering between the eyebrows. It was already lifeless.
When the man saw this scene, his expression was surprised, but his eyes were dull and confused. Then he took out a jade bottle in his arms, opened the jade cover and took out the few things in the bottle.
The liquid poured into the woman's mouth on its own.
I heard a sudden shout from behind. A young woman dressed as a maid asked angrily: "Who are you? What are you doing?"
The jade bottle in the man's hand shook and fell to the ground. Then he stood up and attacked the maid. The maid turned out to be a spiritual cultivator. She resisted and shouted loudly: "Come quickly! An assassin has sneaked in.
"
The man heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance, and his attack became more and more fierce. However, the maid's skills were not weak, and she dragged the man's figure to prevent him from leaving.
The five guards who arrived here first quickly joined the fighting circle and besieged the man. The moves one of the guards used to attack the man were all aimed at his vital parts, which were fatal.
Although the man looked confused, his will to survive was extremely strong. He fell into the siege, exploded with all his strength, and even showed signs of escaping from the encirclement.
A black spiritual energy, covered by the shadow, shot towards the man's skylight point as fast as lightning. The surrounding guards and maids did not notice this spiritual energy coming from nowhere. They just felt that the man's figure was different.
Immediately, the guard with the highest combat power among them took action instantly, and the long sword in his hand pierced the man's Tianling Point, and the man's life was gone in an instant.
The man's lifeless eyes regained clarity for a moment. There was confusion, anger, and he didn't know what he thought of. There was a trace of pleasure in his eyes, and then became dim again, and he closed his eyes with satisfaction.
eyes.
The spiritual energy fluctuations caused by the fight attracted a group of guards. Today's protagonist, King Yuanyou, Li Chengji, also sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the backyard of the palace. He first sent people to investigate, and then some guards came in panic.
Reported the situation in the backyard to Li Chengji.
Li Chengji's expression instantly became shocked and sad, and then turned into anger. Then he turned to look at Zang E, who was still chatting and laughing with others, and shouted angrily: "Come here, tell me what you want."
The rebel Zang E and a group of Zang clan members were captured."
The palace guards who had been waiting outside the main hall immediately broke into the court and captured all the Zang family members who were participating in the banquet, including Zang E. The originally joyful hall instantly turned into a murderous atmosphere, and you could hear the drop of a needle.
Before Zang E had time to react to this sudden change, he was dragged out of his seat by the guards, and all the Zang clan members were escorted to the center of the hall. Zang E looked at Li Chengji angrily, unaware of the always scheming Li Chengji. Cheng Ji, why did he suddenly attack and accuse the Zang family members of treason?
Zang E asked angrily: "King Yuanyou, today is your wedding day, and as the person who presides over your wedding, how can I conspire against you? If you want to be convicted, you have to provide evidence."
"Old man Zang, you want evidence, right? Someone comes and brings up Zang Shiling's body."
The officials of the Xia Geng Kingdom who attended the wedding banquet were all surprised. The officials of the Zhao Xin Kingdom's envoy and the people from the Jinhai Kingdom who came to see off their relatives were a little surprised at first when they suddenly encountered this, and then they were surprised again. They turned into spectators, although they still don’t know what happened tonight.
Yue Qianming twitched the corner of his mouth, and then his expression became the same as everyone else's. He did not expect Li Chengji's reaction to be so violent, and he attacked Zang on the spot. Watching the guards bring Zang Shiling's body up, Xia Geng's country Everyone let out an exclamation, and the faces of everyone in Zhao Xin's country were already filled with light joy, and the excitement was getting better and better.
Cui Hongjing, the patriarch of the Cui family, did not react for a moment when Li Chengji suddenly attacked. When the palace guards brought Zang Shiling's body up, he came to his senses, and then walked out of the crowd and asked Li Chengji: " Your Highness, I wonder what happened tonight to make you behave like this? Although Zang E has done many disrespectful things to Your Highness, he has always been loyal to His Majesty. How could he possibly rebel?"
Cui Hongjing's words were subtle, but they also asked questions that everyone present wanted to know. Everyone looked at Li Chengji, including Zang E, waiting for Li Chengji's answer. Li Chengji is known for his stability and wisdom. In Xia Geng's country, tonight on his wedding day, he suddenly took action against the Zang family. This was something no one expected.
"Zang Shiling, the son of Zang E, used poison to assassinate the newlywed princess of the lonely king, and was discovered on the spot. The princess had already died of the poison, and Zang Shiling was shot to death by the palace guards on the spot. This is the poison found on Zang Shiling, old man Zang, what are you still doing? What evidence do you want?"
The envoys from the Jinhai Kingdom who came to see off their bride were still watching the excitement, but suddenly they heard Li Chengji say that his princess had died of poison, and they were a little dazed. A middle-aged man rushed out from the crowd and came to Li Chengji. , eyes turned red and asked: "Li Chengji, what did you just say? Magnolia died of poisoning?"
This person is Jin Chengyi, the official envoy of the wedding mission, and the uncle of Princess Yulan. He grew up watching Princess Yulan and was very fond of Princess Yulan. Now I suddenly heard the news of Princess Yulan's sudden death. It is also unacceptable.
Jin Chengyi was dissatisfied with Princess Yulan's marriage to Xia Geng's country. However, Yulan herself fell in love with Li Chengji and agreed to the marriage. Finally, under the persuasion of her brother, Jin Chengyi had no choice but to agree, and finally asked He personally saw off Yulan's marriage. Seeing Li Chengji nodding with tears in his eyes, he immediately said, "Take me to see her."
Zang E looked at Zang Shiling's body, and then at a jade bottle in Li Chengji's hand, with violence flashing in his eyes, but his expression remained calm. He said: "Your Highness, this matter must be unusual. Since the official Ling was caught on the spot, and I don’t want to say anything more. But His Highness accused me, Zang, of having treasonous intentions, but I dare not admit it. I have learned from the sun and the moon my feelings for the Xia Geng family and your Majesty."
Li Chengji had regained his composure at this time and understood that what happened tonight was unusual. Looking at the Zang clan members being escorted, he immediately ordered the guards to escort these people to the prison of the palace and imprison them first. Waiting for processing.
Immediately, the officials of the former prince's palace went to chase Li Degong, who had just left, and summoned the Minister of Punishment, Mu Renzhong and Jin Chengyi, to go to the wedding room tonight. Mu Renzhong was one of the important members of the Mu family. The son of the current patriarch of the Mu clan is also a well-known master of solving crimes in the Xia Geng clan. He has relied on his own abilities to reach his current position step by step.
After Li Chengji and the others left the main hall, everyone started talking about tonight's unexpected incident. Cui Hongjing, watching the three people leaving, was already thinking about the impact of tonight's incident on the future of Jin and Xia. The recent alliance between the two countries will inevitably be affected by this incident and may break down, and a war may even break out between the two countries.
Cui Hongjing looked at the people of the Zhao Xin clan in the distance who were gloating about their misfortune, and walked towards Cui Yan. After the two exchanged a few words in low voices, Cui Yan walked towards Yue Qianming and others, bowed and said: "Fuck!" General Mingshen, something like this happened tonight. Please forgive me for the poor greeting. Please go back to the embassy to rest first."
Yue Qianming said with a smile: "The public security in your country is indeed not very good, so we won't bother you here to solve the case. But I want to explain one thing first. Please postpone the talks between our two countries for a few days. I What happened here must be reported to our king before he can make a decision."
"General Qianming, the date of the meeting has been confirmed by official document at Youshi yesterday, and you have also signed the document for confirmation. How can you change it at will?"
"Deputy Ambassador Chunyu, can the time of this meeting not be changed?"
"That's true, but the content of this meeting should be changed. Cui Shilang, what do you think?"
"The talks between the two countries are just talks. As for the outcome, it depends on each person's own abilities!"
"Okay! Let's see you later, Mr. Cui. Yue and others will take their leave first."
After Cui Yan sent Yue Qianming and others out of the banquet hall, he returned to Cui Hongjing. Cui Hongjing asked: "How is it? Have you found out anything?"
"I don't think it's what Zhao Xin's country did. Yue Qianming and others should know nothing about this matter, otherwise they wouldn't have signed the document of the meeting yesterday. However, their attitude has become more arrogant. , it seems that this time don’t think about getting too many benefits from Zhao Xin’s country.”
"In the past few days, we have sent people to closely monitor every move of Zhao Xin's country, as well as the Zang family's people. I believe that Zang E will be released by the emperor soon. That old fox will not be so simple. He will be brought down. But this old fox won’t be able to get away so easily this time.”
"Brother, who could have done this? He actually persuaded Zang Shiling to take action. However, the enmity between Zang and His Highness was quite deep. His Highness and Princess Yulan only fell in love with each other. With this marriage between the two countries."
"No matter who did it, I, Mrs. Cui, have to take action. This time, I must make Mrs. Zang vomit out some of what she has eaten before."
Li Chengji and the other three came to the wedding room. Looking at the festive decorations in front of them, Li Chengji felt sad and angry. The three of them came to the left wing. The maid who first discovered Zang Shiling was hugging him. She was weeping over the body of Princess Magnolia. Her eyes were dull and she still didn't realize anyone had come into the room.
Just listen to Jin Chengyi yell: "Come here, take the maid Zijuan down and kill her with a cane."
The accompanying guards of the Jinhai clan came forward and dragged Zijuan who was holding Yulan's body. Just as he was about to walk out, Li Chengji quickly shouted: "Slow down! There are still some things that Zijuan needs to know."
Looking at Zicuckoo, whose eyes were full of tears, he said: "King Yi, Zicuckoo has grown up with Magnolia. I believe Magnolia and Zicuckoo died because of this. Please let Zicuckoo go."
"Your Highness Ji, if you have any questions, just ask them! After you finish asking, Zijuan will kill itself. I don't want the princess to stay alone in the kingdom of heaven."
