To be honest, Han Dongchen's martial arts is not weak, and should be almost the same as Dongfang Dekang. Even if Jiang Chen, the head of Jianshu Villa, takes action, he probably won't be able to kill him.
The only master in Jianshu Villa who has the ability to assassinate Han Dongchen is Grand Master Dingling who has just been ranked on the "Wu Zun List". But...
If Grand Master Dingling wants to kill Han Dongchen, he must take him by surprise and attack him unprepared. Only by taking a sneak attack as a prerequisite can she possibly kill Han Dongchen.
Otherwise, Han Dongchen would definitely be able to escape with all his might...
So the question is, given Taishi Ling’s seniority, how could she sneak attack a junior whose martial arts skills were lower than hers?
Han Qiumiao racked his brains to speculate and came to only one conclusion. Han Dongchen was definitely not killed by the disciples of Jianshu Villa. Someone was obstructing him, framed Jianshu Villa, and deliberately provoked a fight between King Pingnan and Zhou Xingyun.
"We can't have a falling out with King Pingnan. Zhiqian, can you think of a way to stabilize the situation?" Han Qiumi really hoped that King Pingnan would calm down and have a good talk with them.
"The two sides are now in a state of fighting. They will not listen to us unless someone can calm the whole crowd and make everyone stop. As long as there is a chance to speak, I should be able to delay the time a little." Xu Zhiqian said calmly, she might
There was really a way to stabilize the situation, but she needed an opportunity.
Now there is a fight outside the hall, no matter what they say, no one will listen.
"Let me try..." Xunxuan volunteered. She might have a way to calm down the people who stormed Fengyu Mansion for a while.
Sister Xunxuan, who is the most beautiful woman in the country, can use the magic of charm. Now the guards of Nanwang Palace who are storming Fengyu Palace are all hot-blooded and strong men. If they see her, they may fall into obsession and cannot bear to harm her.
Thinking of this, Xunxuan boldly walked out of the door and stood next to Isabel...
"stop!"
Xunxuan didn't do anything. She just stood in front of the door and shouted. Her sentimental tone, which was full of the charm of a royal sister, was like the sound of nature. It made the aggressive guards' heartstrings tremble and they couldn't help but look at her.
This sight was so incredible that all the five generals of the Nanwang Palace were mesmerized by Xunxuan's beauty, looked at her infatuatedly, and stopped moving.
At this time, Xunxuan not only used the magic of charm, but also used supernatural powers. Under the bright moonlight, the girl's smooth hair seemed to be bathing in the sunset, showing a light cherry pink color, a dreamlike and beautiful scene that made everyone present.
Intoxicated.
"Don't be fooled by that witch's charm! Wake up!"
Although King Pingnan was also tempted by Xun Xuan's alluring beauty and fell into obsession for a while, he was devastated by the loss of his son and soon came to his senses.
Under King Pingnan's angry scolding, the soldiers in Prince Nan's Mansion also woke up.
To be honest, the soldiers and generals of the Nanwang Palace did not expect that there was such a beautiful woman in the world. Her appearance alone made everyone forget to leave. They looked at her stupidly, their thoughts stagnated, and they allowed time to pass...
Fortunately, King Pingnan had enough determination and shouted to wake everyone up.
"Have you ever thought about it, Your Majesty! The Crown Prince is still alive!" Xunxuan followed Xu Zhiqian's instructions and took this opportunity to ask a question.
Although King Pingnan and others have recovered their sanity, Xunxuan has created an opportunity for dialogue.
"Don't even think about delaying time! I have already arranged everything. No one can come to rescue you until dawn!" King Pingnan thought that Xunxuan's speech was to delay time for rescue, so he simply made it clear.
The guards patrolling the outer area of the noble area have all been cleared by him. It is impossible for anyone to come to Fengyu Mansion to rescue tonight.
"In this case, why should the prince be in a hurry? According to my hunch, the probability that the prince is still alive is very high." Xu Zhiqian said as she walked out of the living room, came to Xun Xuan's side, and confronted the soldiers of the Nanwang Mansion.
"Why do you say this?"
"With that sword!" Xu Zhiqian pointed to the long sword on the ground: "The prince said that it was the murder weapon that killed the prince. The blood on the blade is the blood in the prince's heart. So where does this long sword come from?"
Xu Zhiqian felt that the prince's murder was highly suspicious, but...because they didn't know the specific events of the murder, they couldn't refute King Pingnan.
King Pingnan took out the murder weapon and corrected him, insisting that it was a member of Jianshu Villa who killed Han Dongchen. Due to lack of information, Xu Zhiqian and others were all in a state of confusion and could not sort out the case to prove their innocence.
Now Xu Zhiqian used the murder weapon as an entry point to find out what exactly happened when Prince Pingnan was at the Linfeng Inn in Fuling City.
"This sword was snatched back from the disciples of Jianshu Villa by the soldiers of Zhennan Cavalry who risked their lives!"
"Ah, that's strange." Xu Zhiqian pretended to be very confused: "Since the Zhennan Cavalry soldiers were able to seize the murder weapon from the disciples of Jianshu Villa, why didn't they take back the prince's body? Could it be that the weapon
Is the murder weapon more important than the crown prince?"
Those who are close to red are red, those who are close to ink are dark. Xu Zhiqian has been fooling around with Zhou Xingyun a lot, and she has secretly learned a lot of acting skills that are pretentious and deceptive.
Xu Zhiqian knew that King Pingnan had lost his beloved son. His grief and anger dominated his reason, and his eyes were blinded by hatred. He was so angry that he could not see the key issues. Xu Zhiqian planned to use the analysis of the case to try to let King Pingnan explore the doubtful points and prompt King Pingnan to take a step forward.
Find your rationality step by step.
"Jiu Liang! Were you really unable to recapture Dong Chen's body at that time?" King Pingnan turned to ask the young general behind him. Although he had heard from the other party this morning that there were many masters at Linfeng Inn, they could not attack it at all.
"There are several masters of the Glory Realm from the outside world at Linfeng Inn! They are guarding the prince's body, and we can't get close at all!" the young general Jiu Liang replied in a calm tone.
"In that case, how did you get the murder weapon back?" Xu Zhiqian was puzzled. How could there be so many glory masters from outside the Linfeng Inn?
"That's because the murder weapon fell on the ground, and the guards around the prince evacuated the inn, so they could easily pick it up."
"This is unreasonable. Why did the murder weapon fall on the ground?" Xu Zhiqian looked at the young general of the Zhennan Jockey Corps and asked: "Someone killed the prince, the inn should be in chaos, and the two sides should fight together. The murderer of the prince's assassination
, is undoubtedly the target of everyone's encirclement and suppression. Why did the murderer throw the weapon on the ground instead of using it for defense? Could it be that the guards around the prince watched him being assassinated instead of going to the murderer to settle the score? The murderer felt
There was no danger to me, so he threw away the murder weapon? Even so...it's very strange."
"Jiu Liang, tell me the details of the prince's murder from beginning to end."
"At that time, all the guards of our Zhennan Cavalry were guarding outside the inn and did not follow the prince into the inn. Only the guards brought by the prince entered the inn with him."
"Aren't the guards around the Crown Prince from our Nanjing Palace?" King Pingnan thought at first that the bodyguards mentioned by the young general were experts recruited by Han Dongchen from the Nanjing Palace.
"My subordinates don't know, but the Crown Prince trusts them very much, especially that Uncle Hai... no... Lai... Uncle Cai! Yes, that's Uncle Cai!" The young general Jiu Liang thought for a long time, and finally remembered that he occasionally heard from Han Dongchen
I heard about 'Uncle Cai'.
The young general Jiu Liang was a temporary thug recruited by Han Dongchen from the southern town. He knew nothing about the people around Han Dongchen. When Han Dongchen discussed with Cai Yuanying, they were not allowed to participate.
The young general Jiu Liang learned that Han Dongchen's uncle's surname was Cai because he, as a deputy general, followed Han Dongchen to Linfeng Inn and accidentally heard Han Dongchen calling him Uncle Cai.
"Cai Yuanying, you bitch!" King Pingnan's anger burned to the extreme. At first, he always thought that Cai Yuanying was an instigator who provided information to Han Dongchen. When Han Dongchen learned that Linfeng Inn was Zhou Xingyun's property, he went back to the southern border to gather people.
Go make trouble.
Now listening to the report from young general Jiuliang, Cai Yuanying was not only an instigator, but also a participant, and was most likely the culprit behind Han Dongchen's murder.
"Master Jiu Liang, can you answer my question truthfully? Have you personally confirmed that the prince has died?" Xu Zhiqian listened to the report of young general Jiu Liang, although she did not fully understand what happened at Linfeng Inn that day.
, but one thing she can conclude is that the people from Nanwangfu seem to have no chance to get close to Han Dongchen.
In this way, they would definitely not be able to confirm whether Han Dongchen was dead or alive...
"This... we were unable to break into the inn at that time and had no way of confirming the prince's life or death. It was the 'Uncle Cai' who told us that the prince had died. And we all saw the prince lying motionless in a pool of blood..."
"It turns out that Uncle Cai told you that the prince is dead. So you haven't confirmed whether the prince is dead or not." Xu Zhiqian asked King Pingnan: "My lord, can you trust that uncle Cai?"
"..." King Pingnan was stunned for a moment.
Because his subordinates suddenly brought bad news, saying that Han Dongchen was dead, he couldn't control himself with grief and anger. Now that he was deceived by Xu Zhiqian, and he learned that Han Dongchen was still alive, his rationality gradually recovered...
Cai Yuanying had sinister intentions and used the news of Han Dongchen's death to instigate him and the emperor to turn against each other. Of course, what this person said cannot be trusted!
"My lord, now that I think about it, I suddenly feel a little strange. After the prince was killed, the guards around him were very calm. They stood side by side at the door of the inn and did not make any trouble to the people of Jianshu Villa. On the contrary, the people of Jianshu Villa had strange expressions.
, looking at the Crown Prince with a shocked expression."
The young general Jiu Liang described the expressions of both parties at that time. Prince Pingnan fell in a pool of blood. The one who was surprised was not the guards around the prince, but the disciples of Jianshu Villa...
"Has the prince also noticed that the process of the prince's murder is full of doubts, and the disciples of Jianshu Villa may not be the real culprits of the prince's murder." Xu Zhiqian acted according to the trend and followed the words of the young general Jiu Liang, implying that there was fraud behind the incident.
