Xue saw a big wave in his heart, but he still maintained a calm look on the surface, and asked.

"Why did Your Majesty say that?"

The young emperor was delicate, pointed to a pair of calligraphy and an ink painting on the table, and said slowly.

"Helian Chong likes to read and write, it's no secret, your understanding of calligraphy and poetry, there are no flaws, but you ignore one point, Helian Chong doesn't know how to draw. ”

Xue Jian's heart sank, and he immediately understood that he was being introduced into the trap by the other party step by step.

He first asked Xue Jian to appreciate the words, and then commented on the poems, so as to reduce Xue Jian's vigilance.

Immediately after making a painting on the spot, if it was Helian Chong himself, even if he could comment, he would not say too professional comments, but Xue was careless.

This young emperor's step-by-step tentative move, thinking about it carefully, can't help but send chills down people's spines.

His Majesty laughed, Wei Chen will also appreciate some famous paintings in his spare time, it may be that Wei Chen's understanding is shallow, which makes His Majesty feel dissatisfied. ”

Of course, Xue Jian would not be stupid enough to admit it directly, even if the other party bites him to death now is not Helian Chong, there is no strong evidence, everything is just a temptation.

The young emperor said with a smile.

"Actually, I don't care who you are, as long as you are willing to serve the Empire, what does it matter if you are Helian Chong?"

Xue Jian didn't deal with his problem head-on, but just said vaguely.

"Wechen are the subjects of the empire, and they should serve the empire. ”

In fact, Xue Jian had a doubt in his heart, he had just met the young emperor, why did the other party suspect him, and deliberately set up a game to test him.

This is food for thought.

Even if Yun Ping was seriously suspicious of him, he would not tell the emperor before the result was determined.

Looking at the location of today's meeting, as well as the appearance of his deliberate calligraphy and painting, he should have prepared everything a long time ago, just waiting for Xue Jian to enter the set.

"This person should have been paying attention to me for a long time. ”

Xue Jian said secretly in his heart.

"Helian Aiqing, I won't ask you what your purpose is, but I hope you can help me, and I will help you when you need it. ”

The young emperor didn't continue to bite his identity, it seemed that he did this just to win over Xue Jian.

Xue Jian's heart moved.

This person seems to be immersed in calligraphy and painting, but in fact, the city government and ambition are not small, it seems that he is unwilling to become a puppet of the Witch King's palace.

Maybe you can use him to deal with the Witch King's Palace.

Xue Jian thought for a while and said.

"If Your Majesty has any orders, Weichen should obey his orders. ”

The young emperor immediately threw up his head and laughed.

"Helian Aiqing is really loyal and courageous, go, there are still a few famous calligraphy in my imperial study, and I must invite Helian Aiqing to taste and taste. ”

The two left the imperial garden together, and after arriving at the imperial study, he really took out a few famous calligraphy and discussed it seriously with Xue Jian.

This discussion lasted for several hours, and the young emperor was very fond of calligraphy and painting, and studied it deeply.

If there were no previous things, Xue Jianzhen would have regarded him as a talented emperor who was immersed in calligraphy and painting and couldn't extricate himself.

But since knowing this person's city and ambitions, Xue Jian has always maintained a vigilance.

They chatted from day to night, and the young emperor didn't reveal what he wanted Xue Jian to help him with.

In the end, Xue Jian took the initiative to ask, and he said.

"Helian Aiqing went to the northern border this time to help me kill someone. ”

Xue Jian immediately asked.

"Who is Your Majesty going to kill?"

The young emperor did not speak, but took the wolf's quill and wrote two words on the paper.

Flowing Wind!

Seeing this name, Xue Jian was stunned for a moment, the person the young emperor wanted to kill was actually the person he wanted to kill.

Xue Jian hesitated for a moment, so he took it as a solution.

"Elder Liufeng is a disciple of the Witch King, this matter is a bit difficult to do, dare to ask why Your Majesty must kill him?"

The young emperor put down the brush in his hand, a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly.

"When Helian Aiqing has done this, I will tell you the reason, I believe that Aiqing will not disappoint me. ”

With his hands behind his back, he walked out of the imperial study with Xue Jian, looking up at the night sky.

Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, and the young emperor has a feeling and recites a poem.

Xue Jian strode out of the palace and glanced back at the back of the departing man, lonely and sad, like a canary in a cage, longing for the sky and freedom.

Although this emperor was just a puppet and didn't have any power, perhaps he was a powerful weapon that Xue Jian used against the Witch King's Palace.

After walking out of the fortress-like palace, Xue Jian quickly returned to the post house, but before he could enter, his face immediately sank.

The huge post house was half collapsed, and there was a group of guard soldiers inquiring about the investigation, and Yunping was also inside.

Seeing that Xue Jian had finally returned, Yun Ping stepped forward with a not very good-looking face.

"Brother Helian, I'm really sorry, this afternoon, the post house was attacked by a group of killers, and the target of the killers seems to be Mrs. Sister-in-law. ”

Xue Jian frowned and asked.

"What about them?"

Yun Ping explained.

"After the incident, there was a lot of commotion, but fortunately, the guards who patrolled the city arrived in time, and the group of killers fled, and I have already transferred my sister-in-law and your disciples to my house. ”

Xue Jian stepped into the lobby and took a closer look, there were many corpses of black-clothed people lying on the ground, as well as the corpses of the three hall masters.

The house they lived in before had been completely destroyed and in shambles.

Xue Jian stepped forward and carefully examined the bodies of those black-clothed killers, some of them had their necks broken by Fei Yue, and some of them had died of poisoning, but this poison was different.

Yun Ping stepped forward and asked.

"Does Brother Helian know who these killers are? It is simply bold to dare to commit murder in the post house of the imperial capital. ”

Xue Jian shook his head with a calm face and asked rhetorically.

"Did Brother Yun catch the mouth?"

Yun Ping sighed lightly and said helplessly.

"Originally, I caught two live mouths, but those two people immediately committed suicide by taking poison, it seems that they are both from professional killer organizations, and they will not leave a trace of it. ”

Hearing that he committed suicide by taking poison, Xue Jian immediately thought of the black-clothed killer they had caught a few days ago.

"Thousand Machine Pavilion!"

Xue saw his fists clenched, and said secretly in his heart.

He was almost certain that this group of killers was the people of the Thousand Machines Pavilion.

Then he examined the bodies of the two black-clad killers who committed suicide by poisoning, and sure enough, the death method was the same as that of the person he had caught two days earlier.

Xue Jian didn't tell Yun Ping about the killer coming from Qianji Pavilion, and after staying at the scene for a while, he left with Yun Ping.

At present, the post house can no longer live, so Xue Jian has no choice but to follow Yunping and live in his mansion.

In the backyard of Yunfu, Xue Jian saw Fei Yue, Mo Jiuweng and others, except for a few hall masters who were slightly injured, the others were fine.

After all, none of them are vegetarians.
