Chapter 228: Searching for the Assassin
"This thing is very strange, I feel that the eunuch of Xiao Guozi seems to have something to hide and not say. Your Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you let me interrogate you, maybe you can interrogate something else. The young man who was called Master Qi by Li Jian just said hello, and he didn't really care about the prince's meaning, his hand moved slightly, and Guo Gonggong, who was lying on the ground in terror, flew sideways in front of him.
Li Jian and several generals were also accustomed to this master's rudeness, and no one cared, but they all watched Master Qi's every move curiously. However, when he saw a strange light in Master Qi's eyes, he was frightened that Guo's limbs stopped struggling, his eyes gradually blurred, and his demeanor became serene, as if he was a sleeping baby.
"Tell me what you did tonight. "There is a mysterious charm in Guru's voice, which makes people's hearts lose their minds, and there is an indescribable magic that makes people can't help but say what is in their hearts.
Li Jian watched from the sidelines, and was shocked in his heart: Master Qi is really a miraculous power, and he still has such a method.
"I'm ...... tonight" Guo Gonggong didn't hide anything, and told everything he did after dark, and even said how many times he went to the thatched house during this period. And when he met Mo Tong in front of the prince's palace, he naturally didn't hide it, and he said it in 1510.
What Gonggong Guo said was not much different from the previous confession, the only thing he didn't say was the appearance of Mo Tong.
"Drama style?"
Master Qi looked slightly angry, and it took so much effort, but he came up with a dramatic style, which was really annoying. The three words "Xizifeng" are unfamiliar to most spiritual cultivators, but they are not unfamiliar in the circle of true spiritual cultivators, and this is a very taboo name among many sects in the spiritual cultivation world.
This is absolutely nonsense, and the master rejected the idea without even thinking about it, it must be some spiritual cultivator who does not know the height of the sky and the earth to pretend to scare people.
According to Guo Gonggong, the Guo Gonggong who delivered the food box before was not the real Guo Gonggong, and he came in disguise, no wonder he faintly felt that there was something wrong at the time. But that person's camouflage technique is too powerful, and he even concealed his eyes, it is really hard to believe that there is such a camouflage technique in the world.
In addition to being shocked, Guru Qi's heart became even more confused, and he felt that things were even more complicated. What is the reason for the person who calls himself to be a drama to poison him? Is it because someone on the other side has murderous intentions against the prince, or is King Wen not worried that Guo Gonggong will find someone else to poison him? But there is also a food poisoning incident on King Wen's side, so what's going on? Could it be that the thief shouted to catch the thief?
This is not only the master who is puzzled, but the prince and the three generals are also full of doubts. It's obviously just a poisoning incident, but the more I discuss it, the more complicated I feel about it.
"Master Qi, who is this drama? Master Qi, do you know?" Looking at Master Qi's expression, Li Jian felt that Master Qi's face quickly flashed with a strange color.
"Xi Zifeng must be a pseudonym for that person, and I don't know who that person is. Bother a few generals to protect the prince, there must be an unknown person sneaking into the palace, I'll go out and take a look. Master Qi didn't want to mention the three words of drama style, so he waved his big hand, his figure flashed, and the person had already left the study.
Li Jian's expression changed for a moment, his face sank, and he said to Xiao Dezi: "Pass the order, let people search strictly, don't let go of any place, if there are unknown people, all add up for interrogation." Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the man. ”
"Yes!" Xiao Dezi was very excited in his heart, it could be seen that the prince's face was very heavy, and he didn't dare to show a little joy, and he was very decisive to carry out the prince's order.
......
Under Li Jian's order, thousands of guards in the palace checked and rummaged in various places. The palace, which has been on the third watch, is very lively, with bright lights everywhere and constant noise.
As the leader of this incident, Mo Tong didn't know how many people's brains had been hurt by his casual trouble. The palace has been in chaos, and Mo Tong did not leave the palace, but walked around the palace openly and pretending to be a guard, mingling with the guards who searched everywhere.
This is also a helpless way, Mo Tong knows very well that there are several strong people in the palace like the one he saw in Li Jian's study, and Mo Tong does not dare to be too ostentatious. In the face of the absolute strong, the real body is not absolutely safe. The map of the palace had been obtained from Gonggong Guo, and it just so happened that for some unknown reason, the palace was in a mess, and there were guards searching for assassins everywhere, which was a godsend for Mo Tong.
Mo Tong and seven or eight guards rampaged through the palace, completely ignoring the few powerful spiritual senses that were searching everywhere. In half an hour, half of the thousands of houses in the palace let Mo Tong walk through. Naturally, the ink pupil is also very targeted searching. Li Ran also went to the Ranrong Palace, but it was very deserted, and only a few palace maids and eunuchs were there.
"Over there, I haven't searched over there!Brothers, come with me!" When he walked to a place called Fushou Palace, Mo Tong's spirit was shocked. I remember that Gong Xue once said that the emperor was in retreat in this Fushou Palace. This emperor is the master's eldest brother, Li Ran's father, and now that the kingdom of Chen is so chaotic, Mo Tong suspects that something is very likely to have happened to this emperor, and it is definitely not a retreat.
"Bastard! I see clearly, what kind of place is this?! Fushou Palace doesn't need you to search, please leave immediately. Two sword lights blocked the ink pupils from the gate, and the two guards in heavy armor shouted coldly.
"What's that, we're here to search for the Assassin on the orders of the Prince, get out ......of the way," Mo Tong said as he pulled out the token, still fearless.
"Hmph! Fushou Palace is the emperor's retreat place, unless the prince comes in person, anyone who steps into Fushou Palace for half a step, kill, no, pardon!" One of the heavily armored guards released a strong murderous aura, and with a stroke of the spirit sword in his hand, a deep ditch was drawn on the ground of the stone slab.
Mo Tong and the extremely guards behind him were forced to take a few steps back by the powerful spiritual power that rushed towards them, and their faces showed a shocked look.
"Captain He, these are palace guards, not something we can afford to provoke. We still don't want to search Fushou Palace, sweep and search one place, and it doesn't matter. A waiter was afraid that the newly transferred captain of his own place was too brave, and hurriedly leaned over and said,
"Yes, Captain He, Fushou Palace is over. We'll report it later, and the prince won't blame us." Another guard persuaded him. This Captain He, I don't know what kind of fierce medicine I have taken tonight, and the search is too hard, which makes the guards who follow behind secretly complain.
"Phew, it's just that heavy armor, it's nothing remarkable. But today's hatred, I He Shan wrote it down!Brothers, go!" Mo Tong pretended to be a guard squad leader at this time, spat a mouthful of water, and pretended to be very unhappy to leave with a few guards.
Those two heavily armored guards are indeed very powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, the cultivation of the nine-star Xuanling, and they are also wearing a suit of armor, ordinary guards are difficult to defeat them. But in Mo Tong's eyes, it's nothing, but he doesn't want to reveal his identity. Just find an excuse at will, leave the group of guards, and sneak into Fushou Palace.
Mo Tong had already figured out the sentry guards of Fushou Palace before, and found that the guards here were relatively relatively lax, except for the heavy armor guards of the dozen or so nine-star Xuanling people, there were no strong ones. Taking advantage of the chaos and night of the palace, he quietly infiltrated Fushou Palace, and unknowingly knocked a little eunuch into Paradise, and replaced him with ink pupils, walking around Fushou Palace openly.
Walking around, Mo Tong found that there were very few people in Fushou Palace, except for those heavily armored guards who were guarding, the number of palace maids and eunuchs combined was less than twenty. Compared to the outside, the palace maids and eunuchs in the prince's palace are several times more than this, and it really doesn't look like the emperor's residence, and the weather is a little shabby.
"Xiao Guizi, why are you still here? The prince is looking for you everywhere and asked you to send the ginseng tea, why haven't you sent it yet? Hurry up, the prince is going to be angry!" Mo Tong was wandering around, when a voice behind him stopped him.
Mo Tong immediately turned around and looked, it was a palace maid in her twenties, and her face looked extremely anxious.
