Chapter Seventy-One
The look in the eyes of the black-clothed masked man flashed slightly, revealing a hint of despair, and he turned back stiffly and looked at the emperor standing at the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ye Xuanchen looked at the few assassins standing stiffly in the room behind his hands, and he was not in a hurry to speak, until the sound of swords colliding outside gradually stopped, and finally calmed down.
A middle-aged general appeared behind Ye Xuanchen and knelt on one knee.
"Back to Your Majesty, it has all been wiped out at this moment, please make it clear to Your Majesty!"
Ye Xuanchen's expression did not change, as if he had already expected this result.
Luoyang looked at several assassins and shouted, "Do you still have to fight to the death?!" ”
Several assassins glanced at each other, and a flash of determination flashed in their eyes, only to see their expressions change slightly, their facial expressions moved slightly, their brows furrowed, and then blood left at the corners of their mouths, and they all fell to the ground one after another.
The assassin under Luoyang's hand also softened without warning, and Luoyang looked shocked, knowing that they were afraid that they had committed suicide by biting the poison.
Luoyang let go of his hand, and then probed the snort of the people on the ground, and there was no breath at all.
"Your Majesty, this ......"
They had planned well, but they didn't expect the assassin to be all dead, and at this point there was not a single living mouth, and things seemed to get a little tricky.
Ye Xuanchen frowned slightly, but he didn't speak, he actually expected the worst outcome of the matter, and now he was just waiting for someone to jump off the wall and expose himself.
"Your Majesty! Wechen's rescue is late! Please forgive your Majesty! ”
At this moment, Nan Nianming's voice suddenly sounded, and Luoyang gritted his teeth at Nan Nianming's appearance at this time, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
It is forgiveness, not punishment, although Nan Nianming's words are decent, but there is no self-knowledge of confession at all. Among the people living in this inn, Nan Nianming's official position is higher than that of Luoyang, and he is also a general and military general in the court, and it is his duty to protect Ye Xuanchen's safety, but he only appeared after everything has settled.
Compared to the resentment in Luoyang's eyes, Ye Xuanchen was much more shocked.
"General Luo doesn't have to blame himself, but he was injured, so he delayed the time?"
Ye Xuanchen helped Nan Nianming up as he spoke, and his eyes were still probing Nan Nianming's body, as if he wanted to confirm whether Nan Nianming was injured.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the old minister was not injured, but it was true that two black-clothed assassins broke into the old minister's room just now, so it was delayed for a while."
Nan Nianming was thoughtful, and he could hear the meaning of Ye Xuanchen's words, of course he couldn't follow Ye Xuanchen's words, otherwise there were so many people here, and he didn't accept Ye Xuanchen in his heart a few times, and he still had to do the superficial work, so he couldn't make trouble for himself at this sensitive time.
"It's good that Aiqing is not injured, everyone is frightened tonight, so let's go back and rest, Luoyang aftermath."
Ye Xuanchen put an end to tonight's matter in three or two sentences, and everyone present looked at each other, there was no eyebrow on the matter, and His Majesty the Emperor took it over so easily?
Although Luoyang was not willing to let go of this old fox so easily by Ye Xuanchen tonight, but the assassins were all dead, and they didn't have any confidence in catching the old fox, thinking that His Majesty should have other plans, so he could only lead a group of people out of Ye Xuanchen's room.
Because there was an assassination in this room, it was messy and sprinkled with the blood of the assassins, so Xuanchen changed to another room that he had prepared before to rest.
In the dead of night, after a night of farce, the inn finally regained its calm, and after Ye Xuanchen fell asleep, he didn't know when a black cloud appeared in the sky over the entire town, covering the entire town, and a pair of huge black pupils like copper bells leaked out, staring at the inn tightly.
On the second day, Ye Xuanchen and others made a detailed investigation of the surrounding towns along the coast again, and the end was naturally nothing, Ye Xuanchen and Luoyang were surprised in their hearts, what could it be that could make the entire town die quietly overnight, and it could also leave no trace.
If this matter is really done by Nan Nianming, and it can be done to this extent and handled so cleanly, then Nan Nianming's hidden strength is much stronger than the previous two guesses, which is why Ye Xuanchen had the practice of calming things down last night.
Ye Xuanchen and the others had nothing to gain, so they took everyone back to the inn to discuss.
Ye Xuanchen sat with Luoyang and Nan Nianming, tasting the best Longjing, staring at the teacup in his hand seemingly calmly on the surface, slowly turning.
"Nan Aiqing came here before me, and she knows more about this matter, what does Aiqing think about this matter?"
Asking clearly, but in fact tempting, Luoyang kept staring at Nan Nianming's face after Ye Xuanchen asked this, as if he wanted to see some clues.
Nan Nianming's face was slightly pale, he came this time by order, in fact, he didn't take this time to heart, on the contrary, in addition to such a tragic thing, people in coastal cities were panicked, and the impact on the court was also very obvious, which was beneficial to Nan Nianming, so Nan Nianming didn't plan to really investigate this matter thoroughly from the beginning.
Moreover, the impact of this incident is serious, and Nan Nianming has already guessed that if the matter cannot be resolved for a long time, Ye Xuanchen may choose to come in person, so he has already set a trap and waited for Ye Xuanchen to enter his trap, but he didn't expect that Ye Xuanchen's vigilance against him was already so strong, and last night's action was a complete failure.
However, Nan Nianming is so cunning and cunning, last night's assassination is just the first step in his plan, throwing stones to ask for directions, since he already knows that Ye Xuanchen has already prepared, he has to become even more cautious, not letting Ye Xuanchen catch him the slightest handle, so as to carry out the next plan.
And these massacres of villages around the coast this time have become the best cover for him to completely remove Ye Xuanchen.
"Back to Your Majesty, this incident is really very strange, Wechen has been exploring several villages along the coast for several days, and has found nothing as today, these villagers died strangely, as if they all died in their sleep overnight, and their lives were taken away in an instant, and Wechen has no clue about the reason for this."
Although Nan Nianming does not intend to investigate this matter with due diligence, he still has to do superficial work, so everything he said is true.
Ye Xuanchen groaned slightly, and said, "Then according to Aiqing's view, is this incident a natural disaster or man-made?" ”
Nan Nianming's old face wrinkled tightly, and he put on a thoughtful look.
