In Jiuchen Pass, an important border town in Jiuchen, the general guarding the pass was inspecting the city defense, and looking down from the city wall, a person dressed as a general covered in blood attracted his attention.

His complexion changed, and he quickly ran down the tower, and then quickly ran to the bloody general.

The bloodied general was very weak, his face was yellow, his lips were dry, he looked at the general of Jiuchen Pass with a blurred gaze, and when he saw the totem mark on his body, the general was overjoyed, as if he had seen the dawn, he rushed forward and grabbed the sleeve of the general of Jiuchen Pass tightly.

"You're... I've seen you!" The general of Jiuchenguan remembered something, and hurriedly supported the general of the protector, "What's wrong?

"Quick...... I...... Tell the Emperor, we... I...... Attacked on the road, the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the King of Light are unknown. The Legaries... Whole...... All dead. ”

"What?!" The general of Jiuchen Pass was like nine thunderbolts, and he couldn't believe it for a while, "Quick! Take this general down to heal first, and quickly send someone to tell the news to the imperial city!"

......

"Your Majesty, it's not good!" Fan Bozhong ran towards the main hall in a panic, shouting loudly as he ran.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Fan Bozhong ran into the main hall, he fell to his knees with a "plop". "Your Majesty. ”

"What's wrong?" Emperor Zhaoning rarely saw Fan Bozhong so rude, and his expression couldn't help but be solemn.

"Your Majesty... The envoys were assassinated by unknown people on Jingcui Mountain on the border between Jiuchen and Beixuan, and only the general of the guard is still alive, because the injury is too serious, the general of the guard is still in a coma, and we have no way of knowing what happened. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Light...... Also, also... Nowhere to be found. ”

"Probably...... ...... by the adulterer," Fan Bozhong did not say any more.

"Send the Predators to investigate. Emperor Zhaoning spoke, "Give me a careful investigation! I will find out if I turn over Jingcui Mountain... Found... Whether it's life or death, I have to find Yelan!"

"Yes!" Fan Bozhong bowed in a low voice, quickly got up and ran out of the hall.

......

"What are you talking about!" Ye Fan grabbed the black shadow by the collar, "You tell me again!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Light may... Killed. The black shadow did not change color, word by word.

"Impossible!" Ye Fan let go of the black shadow's collar, "Fourth brother won't." ”

"What did the surviving general say! I want to see him!" Ye Fan's body trembled with anger, and there was a raging fire burning in his eyes, as if it was going to burn the entire earth.

The black shadow rarely saw Ye Fan so angry, and through the deep mask, the black shadow's gaze moved slightly, and he didn't say a word.

Ye Fan's hand clenched into a fist, "gurgling", he closed his eyes, and a silent cold enveloped the entire air.

"The man who survived is still unconscious. The Predators have already gone to check. The Shadow said.

"Call him to me!" Ye Fan almost gritted his teeth, his expression as if he was about to swallow the whole world, as if he couldn't touch it.

"I see. The shadow replied lightly, and quickly disappeared from sight.

A moment later, a man in a hat walked in with a huddle, his body trembling slightly, obviously a little frightened.

"It's coming. Ye Fan's voice was very cold, cold enough to kill people on the spot.

"Lord...... Master. ”

"Explain it to me. Ye Fan turned around and tugged at the corners of his mouth.

The person who came "plopped" and fell to the ground, slammed his head on the ground, and his voice trembled, "We didn't do it." ”

"Of course I do!" Ye Fan sneered, "Who is it?"

"The subordinates are suspicious... It's Nan Xuanji. The man replied.

"Lift your head and take off your hat. Yefan ordered.

The man slowly lifted his head and removed his hat.

It's the emperor's inquiry.

Huangfu was the person by Yefan's side very early, and Yefan left him by Yelan's side... In fact, I didn't have a bad heart at first.

Including now.

He's a very complicated person, so complicated that... Even he didn't know what he was going to do.

"Why do you say that?" Ye Fan asked.

"Back to the master, we pretended to be Nan Xuanji's subordinates to assassinate the envoys according to the master's wishes, and I deliberately admitted in front of His Royal Highness the King of Light that I was sent by Nan Xuanji, and took away the jade pendant of His Royal Highness the King of Light to deepen His Royal Highness's suspicion. But now that the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the King of Light are unknown, it is obvious that a second group of people has assassinated the King of Light. ”

"When his subordinates fought with His Royal Highness the King of Light, they obviously felt that the King of Light's body was a little weak, and Xu was injured in Beixuan. Therefore, if Nan Xuanji planted eyeliner in Beixuan and attacked King Guang when he was invincible, His Royal Highness the King of Light was likely to ...... Wounded and defeated. ”

"That's good. Ye Fan spoke, "I'll give you ten days, if you can't kill Nan Xuanji to avenge my fourth brother, I will want all of your lives." ”

"Yes, yes. Huangfu inquired and nodded.

". "Yefan is impatient.

......

The Iron Blood Army was ordered to investigate, and saw many unrecognizable corpses under the cliff of Jingcui Mountain, which were identified as the bodies of some members of the envoy group. At the same time, the border guards of Jiuchenguan also found an unrecognizable body on the avenue - the flesh and blood of the face cut by the sword were blurred, and it was no longer recognizable. It's just that the corpse is wearing the same clothes that Yelan wore when he came back.

The border guards told the news to the Predators, who sent a message to Kyoto.

The next day, Emperor Zhaoning held a grand court meeting, and hundreds of officials arrived, and even the nobles of the clan also came to the scene to participate.

"I've got word from the Iron Blood. Emperor Zhaoning's face was solemn, and every voice was so difficult. "They found Yelan's body in Jingcui Mountain, and now it is on its way back to Kyoto. ”

"How can this be?!" the ministers below were shocked and exchanged their heads to learn the news.

"Quiet!" Fan Bozhong shouted, and the audience was silent, and the ministers all had strange and incredulous expressions on their faces.

Including Yeji, he didn't expect it.

Ye Fan had been observing Ye Ji silently, and when he saw that Ye Ji suddenly heard the news of Ye Lan's death, he also showed a panicked look like other ministers, and his suspicions about him were dispelled.

Don't... Sure enough, it's Nan Xuanji?!

"I... Grief. Emperor Zhaoning said, his tone changed suddenly, "The most reliable news now is that this matter is absolutely inseparable from Beixuan!"

"Ah, Beixuan?" the ministers in the audience were shocked again.

Ye Fan also raised his head suddenly, and he looked at Emperor Zhaoning with a suspicious and angry look.

"So I have decided to avenge Yelan!" Gather the three armies and attack Beixuan immediately!" Emperor Zhaoning's tone was unquestionable, and the ministers saw that Emperor Zhaoning was grieving and indignant, and no one dared to say anything to stop him.

Xiao Wanmian stood at the front, his expression was surprisingly calm, and he saw him looking at Emperor Zhaoning with a downish gaze, and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly.

After the court meeting was dispersed, Xiao Wanmian slowly walked down the steps and left, but Yefan's voice came from behind him.

"Xiao Xiang stays!"

Xiao Wanmian paused, turned around, and watched Ye Fan quickly coming from behind, he flicked his hand at him, "His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

"Xiao Xiang is polite. Ye Fan also returned the salute. "Ye Fan has something to ask Xiao Xiang. ”

"The emperor has long had the intention of launching a large-scale northern expedition, but he has not been able to find an excuse, so he has not taken action for a long time. Now the death of King Guang has provided the most powerful reason for the emperor's Northern Expedition. ”

"Regardless of whether King Guang was harmed by Bei Xuan or not, Bei Xuan is also guilty of this crime. ”

"I advise Your Highness not to be attached, it will be useless in the end. ”

Xiao Wanmian only left this one sentence, sneered, and left slowly.

Ye Fan stood in place, his eyes flashing with complicated emotions.
