Chapter 51: Nan Juan's Death
Li Xiao walked out of the room, it was almost dawn at this time, Li Xiao looked at the herald and said, "What's the matter, so panicked?"
The herald fell down on one knee and said, "General, the big thing is not good, I came from Chen Youguan to deliver the message, General Nan Juan, he" paused after speaking.
Li Xiao saw that the herald's expression was wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong with General Nan Juan, tell me quickly." ”
The herald choked up and said, "General Nan Juan, he, he, was assassinated last night. ”
When Li Xiao heard this, his head buzzed, he almost fell, and said excitedly: "This matter is serious, who did it?"
The herald said: "General Nanda was indeed killed, I don't know who the murderer is, General Nan Xianguo asked the villain to ask the general to return to Chen Yu to take charge." ”
Li Xiao was a little chaotic, looking at Ye Xiang beside him, Ye Xiang nodded and said, "General, don't worry, let's rush to Chen Yu first." ”
Li Xiao nodded, and then took Rui Xin, Guo Rengui, and Ye Xiang all the way to Chen You.
Li Xiao came to the Shuai Mansion where Nan Juan lived, the inside and outside were full of people, Nan Xianguo saw Li Xiao coming, and cried: "Second uncle, my father was assassinated, and the scene has not been moved, and the second uncle is invited to call the shots." ”
Li Xiao choked for a long time and didn't speak, although he didn't get along with Nan Juan for a long time, but the two of them can be called old friends, Li Xiao walked into Nan Juan's room, knelt down on his knees, and cried out with a "wow".
Ye Xiang also followed Li Xiao in, he looked at Nan Juan sitting on the chair, there was no painful expression on his face, and there was a trace of unretracted smile on the corner of his mouth, Ye Xiang walked around Nan Juan's corpse, and saw that Nan Juan had a wound that had been stabbed by a sword on the back of his heart, he lowered his head and looked at the wound carefully.
Nan Juan was stabbed into the heart with a sword, and he was killed at that time, he looked at the room again, there was no trace of a fight, Ye Xiang opened his mouth and asked Nan Xianguo: "General Xianguo, who was the first to find out that General Nan was killed?"
Nan Xianguo said: "It's the attendant, the attendant fetched water and came in to prepare to wash his father, and when he found that his father was killed, he reported it to the guard on duty, and the guard found me, except for me, no one has ever come in." ”
Ye Xiang nodded and said, "I don't know what the old general has lost?"
Nan Xianguo said: "The tiger talisman is everything, but it is missing a key that my father never leaves." ”
When Ye Xiang heard the key, he asked, "What key, where is the key?"
Nan Xianguo said: "I don't know what the key is, my father never let us ask, but that key must be very important, and my father values that key more than life." ”
When Li Xiao heard the key that Nan Xianguo said, he chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help touching a handful of it in his arms, because the key was worn by Li Xiao on his chest, Li Xiao said in his heart: "Don't they know that Brother Nan gave me the key." ”
No one paid attention to Li Xiao's actions, Ye Xiang said: "I see that there is no trace of a fight at the scene, and the old general was still talking to the person who assassinated him before he was killed, and the old general still has a smile on his face, this is very likely to be the old general's acquaintance, and it is an acquaintance that the old general can trust, can the general call the guard on duty last night over, I will ask a few words." ”
Nan Xianguo nodded, and sent someone to call the guard who was on duty last night.
Ye Xiang asked the guard on duty, "Did anyone enter General Nan's room last night?"
The guard nodded and said, "General Li is the only one who enters General Nan's room. ”
Ye Xiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Which General Li?"
The guard pointed at Li Xiao and said, "That's this General Li."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Li Xiao came over and asked, "You said I came here?"
The guard nodded and said, "Yes, General, last night you came to me and asked me if the general was resting, and said that you wanted important military information to find the old general, and then you went in, and you went in for about half an hour, and when you came out, you gave me a small ingot." As he spoke, he took out the small ingot.
Everyone looked at Li Xiao, Li Xiao looked at Ye Xiang, and Li Xiao said: "I have always been in Shu County, and I have been chatting with Mr. Ye all night, how could I come here." ”
Ye Xiang said: "Yes, General Li is indeed with me. Then he asked the defender, "Are you sure you are General Li?"
The defender nodded, "I'm sure, the voice is all right." ”
Nanxian National Road: "Don't talk nonsense"
Ye Xiang said: "He didn't talk nonsense, if the murderer looked exactly like General Li, and even the old general didn't see it, this would explain why the old general didn't resist, and the unretracted smile on his face could also explain it." ”
After speaking, he walked to Li Xiao's side and said, "General, lend me your sword." ”
Li Xiao pulled out the accessories and handed them to Ye Xiang, Ye Xiang took Li Xiao's black gold Tanyun sword, walked behind Nan Juan, gestured with his hand, and said: "That's right, General Nan Juan was indeed killed by this sword, but it was not General Li's doing, someone changed General Li's appearance, and he knows General Li and General Nan very well." ”
Nan Xianguo said: "Change, how to change?"
Ye Xiang said: "Transfiguration is an ancient spell of the Wu clan, and there are not many people left who can use this spell, I just don't understand." ”
Li Xiao said: "Mr. Ye, what do you don't understand?"
Ye Xiang said: "Even if someone knows how to transfigulate, he has to see General Li himself, and he also has to know the relationship between General Li and General Nan, and why did he assassinate General Nan?"
Nan Xianguo said: "Maybe the father is here, they can't attack Chen You?"
Ye Xiang shook his head and said, "Maybe it's going to be for that key."
When several people were discussing, Nan Fengguo hurriedly ran in, entered the room and knelt down and cried, Nan Xianguo said: "Big brother, when you come back, who will guard Tianyang?"
Nan Fengguo said while crying: "I have arranged for the deputy to guard the town, and since my father has been killed at this time, it is better to put the body in the funeral."
Everyone nodded, and when carrying Nan Juan's body, a letter fell out of Nan Juan's body, Nan Xianguo picked it up and opened it, and saw that there were only eight words in the book, "I met an accident, Li Xiao took over"
Ye Xiang looked at a few words, thought for a while and said: "It seems that the old general Nan Juan has long known that there will be this day, Chen Youguan must have a detailed work, this fine work is likely to be transformed by the Wu clan, and the generals of all families are still cautious, this person must know us well, so he will transform into the appearance of General Li, and he has to guard against it." ”
Li Xiao looked at Ye Xiang and said, "Could it be that my defeat of Chen Shui that day was also due to this person?"
Ye Xiang said: "It's not impossible, in the future, the military situation will have to be done in secret, so as not to cause extraneous branches." The crowd nodded.
Li Xiao personally put the corpse of Nan Juan into a burial, Fengguo, Xianguo wept bitterly, the war pigeon mourned Ningde, Han Ping mourned, gave Nanmu coffin, posthumously sealed the king of Nanshan, sealed Nan Fengguo as the Dingling Marquis, Nan Xianguo broke the Linghou, ordered the whole country, vegetarian food for January, the whole country mourned.
