"Lord Xu, I want to arrest the night queen of the Fu Palace. ”

Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Shen Lian seriously, and saw that Shen Lian didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Do you know who Yahime is?"

"You know, the adopted daughter of the prince of the Fuwang Palace. ”

"Why do you want to arrest her?"

"I suspect she's involved in a new conspiracy, where at least twenty people have died for no apparent reason, buried deep underground, in the guise of some strange formation or sacrifice. ”

Shen Lian explained slowly, found himself in the underground secret place, and then captured the appearance of suspicious cultivators, followed them all the way to the gambling house, and finally noticed that Ye Ji had killed someone, but instead followed Ye Ji, and finally retreated peacefully after being attacked, and revealed them one by one.

Xu Xiao looked at Shen Lian a little helplessly.

It's not that he doesn't believe it, but Xu Xiao thinks that he has unparalleled wisdom and strength, and he is Shen Lian's boss, but every time he has a strange case, he has to lag behind Shen Lian.

Whether it is thinking, thinking, seeing, or even doing, all means lag behind Shen Lian in all aspects.

What's even more annoying is that Xu Xiao has never seen what Shen Lian's routine is.

It's incredible!

So Xu Xiao was very helpless, but he also mixed complex emotions such as admiration and appreciation.

"Do you think it has anything to do with the Fu Palace?" Xu Xiao asked rhetorically.

Shen Lian nodded without hesitation:

"If you want to say that something strange happened in Luodu, and there are people from the Fu Palace, then I believe that it is absolutely related to the Fu Palace!"

Xu Xiao felt the same way.

"More than 20 people died for no reason......"

Xu Xiao pondered carefully.

"Do you know where that formation is?"

"Yes, absolutely!"

Shen Lian nodded.

Xu Xiao groaned:

"If I want to confirm my inference, I'll have to go there myself. ”

。。

In the wee hours of the morning, in the middle of the night, everything was silent.

Xu Xiao used the means of six-grade martial arts to shrink his bones and change his appearance, and under the leadership of Shen Lian, he secretly investigated the suspected location.

But there is no big move, so as to avoid startling the snake.

The two of them took a brief look at it, and immediately returned without a sound.

"It's a pity that we can't excavate it, because it will cause the other party to retreat, or destroy the corpse and destroy all evidence. ”

Xu Xiao and Shen Lian sat outside Shen's house, discussing in a low voice.

"Master Xu thinks there is a suspicion below?" asked Shen Lian.

First of all, from the topography, there is a hint of gloom, which is a terrain that very few people know. In addition, the secluded aquatic shrine. There is an ancient legend that the aquatic shrine is related to the carp water coming out of the spring. ”

"Finally, this place is the middle hinterland of Xicheng Prefecture, which extends in all directions and is very popular, and it is an excellent area for arranging formations. ”

Shen Lian listened to it and couldn't help but admire it.

He was able to discover the secret because of the power of the Ground Source, as well as a small amount of cheating.

But Xu Xiao relied purely on his eyesight and experience, so he deduced it.

"Lord Xu said before that if you want to prove an inference, what is the inference?" Shen Lian asked with interest.

"Since you must have something to do with the Fu King's Palace, if I reason from this fact, I also have a conjecture. ”

Xu Xiao said with a solemn expression, "Duke Wei previously instructed me to pay close attention to the movements of the Fuwang Palace, and be sure to keep an eye on incidents similar to the deaths of many people. ”

"Oh?"

Shen Lian was very curious, and he couldn't imagine that an attack on Hantong really involved the conspiracy of King Fu's Palace.

It was definitely an unintentional bump, but it hit the right one!

"Why did Duke Wei make such an arrangement? I know a little bit, maybe it has something to do with the 'Secret Sacrifice of Life'. Wei Gong's strategy is far more than mine, if he has a word, it must be targeted, and there is no lie!"

"I'm still saying that, why do you want to arrest Yeji? She is the adopted daughter of the prince of the king, but she actually has little to do with the Fu Palace, and she has always been alone. ”

"Your arrest of her will inevitably impress the Fu Wang Palace and arouse strong disgust from the other party. ”

"Will it affect the investigation?"

Xu Xiao stared at Shen Lian and asked in a deep voice.

Shen Lian naturally has his own plans, and he will put Ye Ji in the secret spy prison, even if he can't get concrete evidence, he can dig up unknown secrets, which will definitely be useful.

"I believe in your interrogation ability, and I believe in your methods to get to the bottom of it!"

Xu Xiao didn't ask Shen Lian for an explanation, but with a smile.

"I agree with you to arrest Yahime, but you must have a method, and you must not startle the snake or make any disturbances. ”

Xu Xiao said this with a hint of pride:

"Other than that, if you plan and do it, I believe in your ability. Even if the leak fails, and you are questioned and hostile by the Fuwang Palace, you can just look for me. ”

"Don't forget, there is Cao Song, the governor of Zuodu, and Duke Wei behind you!"

Hearing this heartwarming sentence, Shen Lian was more confident and grasped it, and said gratefully:

"Thank you Lord Xu for your support!

。。

Early morning.

A carrier pigeon fluttered into the city defense camp.

About an hour later.

The scope of the daily patrol of the city defense battalion has changed.

It was changed to a team of 30 people, around a few fixed points, and kept practicing along the way. Neither disturbing the people nor garrisoning, just going around the path.

Such a day.

Two days.

Three days.

Every day, the soldiers of these city defense battalions are also regarded as normal.

On the fourth day, Centurion Han Qingtian took three personal soldiers and more than 40 soldiers to patrol back and forth along another road.

The soldiers walked, and they were about to leave the Xicheng region.

This is a simple post station, where the Jianghu customers, traders and pawns will rest. Drink some tea and eat before heading out.

However, when more than 40 people from the city defense battalion arrived, an exit was immediately blocked.

"On the orders of the governor, investigate the past merchants and strictly control the exchanges in southern Xinjiang!"

Resting Jianghu guests often hear such declarations. After all, the great cadres are fighting against southern Xinjiang, and it is also a matter of course to check at various intersections.

One of the black-robed and black-scarfed women passing by frowned, and set up another corner to quietly leave.

But he didn't want a few soldiers to surround him.

One of the men with thick shoulders and a round waist, and a red-tasseled helmet couldn't stop the big face, and shouted in a rough voice:

"Who are you, what are you doing in Luodu Xicheng Mansion?"

The woman in the black robe and black scarf was Ye Ji, she passed by here secretly, it was impossible to encounter such a thing, and she suddenly felt disgusted in her heart, and said in a low voice:

"Open your dog's eyes and see, what is this?"

She took out the palace sign she had with her, which was self-made by the vassal king, and was recognized by all the state capitals, and she would never stop the people of the palace from doing things.

But this big man with thick shoulders and a round waist didn't know him, and shouted in a rough voice:

"Bold, what's the use of your broken brand? Come with me and verify your identity!"

Ye Ji Dai raised her eyebrows, snorted coldly, and pointed her fingers at the big-faced soldiers who were blocking the way.

Before she could make a move, a soldier immediately fell down with a bang.

Suddenly, Yehime was like stabbing a hornet's nest.

The crowd shouted:

"Dogs, traitors, dare to disobey orders and kill people!"

Before Yehime could make a move, there was immediately a sword light and sword shadow in front of her, fists and palms, and all kinds of unexpected attacks, like a storm.

"Trap?" Yahime instantly understood.

But she was about to counterattack, but a strange power appeared on the soles of her feet, which actually suffocated her body for a moment at this moment.

A Taoist sorcerer was approached by Han Qingtian, Fei Yuqing, Bao Shihu, Qiao Jiu Monk, and the four evildoers, and the result can be imagined.

Fei Yuqing fell to the ground, Bao Shihu took out a knife, Han Qingtian punched, and Qiao Jiu roared violently, just in the blink of an eye.

Yahime fell to the ground without any suspense.

Then a black cloth came, and the veins were caged, and the whole body was wrapped, and the poor woman was carried and thrown onto the horse, and was quickly taken away, and disappeared without a trace.

Shen Lian was still outside the range, searching the surroundings with the power of the earth source.

Sure enough, a figure faintly guarding the night hime was about to leave.

Shen Lian quickly followed, and smashed him unconscious with three moves and two sneak attacks.

The dust has settled.

Around the small inn, tranquility was restored, and nothing seemed to have happened.
