The moon is full of roof beams, and it is quiet everywhere. No one would go out to have fun while the king was recuperating from his wounds, so everyone rested in the room early.

And this kind of night is the easiest thing to do.

The night passed unconsciously, and at noon the next day, Yang Ziling's side finally found out the result of the king's assassination!

It turned out that Yang Ziling and Zhuangshan led people around the mountain to conduct a thorough investigation, and found several male corpses wearing only middle clothes under a cliff at the edge of the mountain garden! After dragging it back, once it was identified, it was discovered that those male corpses were from the forward battalion!

Well, there is only one truth.

It was the Assassins who killed the soldiers of the Forward Battalion who were escorting the mountain, dumping their corpses and mixing them in their costumes.

And the forward battalion was outnumbered, and there were a few people who knew each other, and a few who did not know each other, and in this way, their incorporation was concealed.

So what's next? When farming in the mountain garden, hunting is an indispensable activity every year, so how can this year be an exception? So after they got in, they prepared in the forest early and dug a deep pit trap! First, it would be better if you could shoot the king, and if you couldn't get it, you would show up and lead him to the pit! Therefore, the king's entourage was killed by them! The king had no one to use, so he had to go up on his own.

It can be seen that those assassins not only knew about Nanqian's pro-farming festival, but also knew Nanqian's monarch very well!

Huo Jingcheng, the monarch of Nanqian, is both civil and military, brave and strategic, and is by no means a person who will retreat to save his life in distress, but will sail against the current and face difficulties.

So, the Assassin really ate accurately.

So, who were the Assassins told?

In this regard, Yang Ziling also gave the result, no, he quickly ordered someone to bring several assassins' corpses and present them in front of everyone. And the left arm of those corpses was removed from the sleeve, and it was clearly revealed, only to see that the left arm of the corpse was embroidered with a palm-sized red sun totem!

When everyone saw the totem on the arm, their faces changed greatly, and the next moment, several eyes swept towards Li Shi'an!

And Li Shi'an's expression had already changed greatly when he saw those red sun totems! At this time, facing everyone's eyes, it is like being struck by lightning!

"Your Majesty! What's going on?! How so?! Peaceless! Xishun is wronged! ”

It turned out that the red sun totem was the auspicious pattern of Xishun. It is said that the sun is setting, but the people of Xishun think that the sun falling from the west is unlucky for the country of Xishun, which means that the country will also decline. Therefore, the royal family of Xishun and the people who serve in the army will embroider a red sun totem on the arm of the left hand, asking for a golden crow that will always be there and never fall westward. Therefore, it is obvious which country these assassins embroidered with red sun totems are from, and who they are ordered by.

This certificate is directed at Xishun, no wonder Li Shi'an began to cry out fiercely for injustice, this matter is not good, but it will cause a war between the two countries in the southwest. And how can the small country of Xishun compete with the powerful power of Nanqian?

Everyone came back to their senses, and immediately glared at that Li Shi'an, and the courtiers had already denounced it!

"Did the prince come to Nanqian all the way to assassinate my Nanqian monarch?!"

"The prince is a good method? Openly leading a group of people, secretly bringing a group of people, and actually wanting to hurt our monarch? Just Xishun also dares to be presumptuous with my Nanqian?! ”

Li Shi'an was embattled, as if facing a great enemy, and once again pleaded in public: "Your Majesty is clear! I, Xishun, have always respected Nanqian, and I will never be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg! Peaceless! Xishun is wronged! ”

Huo Jingcheng stared at the corpses thoughtfully, slowly came to the row of corpses without saying a word, squatted down and carefully examined the red sun totem, and then reached out to pinch the corpse's mouth and looked at it, and then went to check on another one, and after seeing a few corpses, he suddenly said in a firm tone: "This is a blame!" It has nothing to do with Xishun! ”

When Li Shi'an heard this, his heartstrings suddenly loosened!

Huo Jingcheng slowly got up at this time, came to Yang Ziling, glared at him like a blade, and scolded: "How did you perform the autopsy?" Just by relying on these red sun totems, it is concluded that they are the people of Xishun? Sloppy too! I can't even find out what country the assassin is, so I'm embarrassed to come to deal with me? It also disturbed my distinguished guests! ”

Yang Ziling lowered his head and took a step back, and saluted: "The minister is guilty, and please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Huo Jingcheng snorted coldly, and then he solemnly explained to everyone.

"As we all know, Dongjing is rich in cloud smoke, and almost every man will be contaminated, but if this cloud smoke is smoked for a long time, their teeth will be yellow under the smoke! And the teeth of these assassins are the same! It can be seen that they are not people from Xishun, but more like people from Dongjing! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt reasonable, and now, they all looked at Shen Linfeng in unison, all of them looking like they wanted to check his teeth.

Shen Linfeng didn't care, so he hooked his lips and smiled, revealing his white teeth, and said, "It's all up to Shen to do?" Although Shen is a person from Dongjing, he often smokes that cloud smoke, but Shen is from a heavenly nobleman, he has been dressed and fed since he was a child, many people have served him, and he is clean in place, so he is not clean like these big old men and yellow teeth. ”

When everyone heard this, they still reasoned, so they all turned their eyes away.

Huo Jingcheng saw that they had stopped, and continued: "Let's talk about the red sun totem on their arms, the color is bright, and it was obviously embroidered in recent months, and the age of the people of Xishun is between sixteen and twenty, but these assassins are all over twenty years old, it stands to reason that the color of their totem should have been dull a long time ago, how can it be so distinct?" It can be seen that it has only been embroidered in recent months! ”

At this moment, everyone thought about it for a while, and they all suddenly realized!

Li Shi'an even opened his mind in an instant, and said in a lost voice: "It's Dongjing!" They are the assassins sent by Dongjing! I took advantage of the fact that this king was in Nanqian to assassinate His Majesty and blame me Xishun and provoke relations between the two countries! So those totems were improvised by the Assassins when they set out from Dongjing! ”

Huo Jingcheng made the final decision: "Not bad! I thought so! Therefore, my assassination has nothing to do with Xishun! ”

The more Li Shi'an thought about it, the more he felt like this, and said in a sonorous tone: "Your Majesty! It turned out that it was the Dongjing Shen family who harbored evil intentions! My Xishun Li family is wronged! Your Majesty is very respectful and obedient! Thank you for your trust! ”

At this time, Yang Ziling knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty! It's the minister's negligence! almost made the eldest prince wronged, and the minister was guilty! I hope Your Majesty will forgive you! I hope the eldest prince will forgive his sins! ”

Huo Jingcheng casually raised his hand to excuse him, then slowly came to Li Shi'an, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Prince, now that the matter has come to a conclusion, I hope that the prince will forgive me if my ministers have any offense." I hope that our two countries will not only not lose peace because of this, but will also be more united in the future. ”

Li Shi'an got out of the predicament in a single thought, and he was full of gratitude and reverence at this time! Then he said in a solemn tone: "Your Majesty rest assured! I, Xi Shun, will be of the same heart with Your Majesty, so as not to fulfill the heart of the villain! Thank you for your trust! Shi'an is a person who receives a liter of people and returns a fight, votes for me with papaya, repays it with Qiongju, and repays the bandits, and always thinks it is good! ”

Huo Jingcheng looked appreciative: "Good! When I am healed, I will have a good time with the prince! ”

In this way, the assassination came to light in public and ushered in the end.

Suddenly, Dongjing became a bad guy and failed to provoke it, but instead provoked the anger of the people in the southwest and the southwest.

Everyone dispersed, Huo Jingcheng strolled back to Fengnian Residence, and when he carefully cleaned his hands, Yao Duran smiled and handed over the handkerchief, and said incomprehensibly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for succeeding in your clever plan." ”

Huo Jingcheng took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Dongjing wants to provoke the relationship between my Nanqian and Xishun, so I will push the boat to stir up their relationship first!" ”

Yao Duran said with a smile: "So Your Majesty hinted that Prince Dongjing was a villain yesterday, but saw that the prince was half-convinced, so His Majesty ordered Commander Yang to embroider the red sun totem on the arms of those assassins overnight, and when the prince shouted injustice, His Majesty showed evidence to prove that those assassins were Dongjing's people, and in this way, it was successfully confirmed that Dongjing assassinated His Majesty and blamed Xishun, and the half-believing prince was also convinced of this." ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "Yes, Dongjing wants to kill me and provoke the relationship between Nanqian and Xishun, is Huo Jingcheng a wreck who bullies me?" This is forcing me to give birth to the heart of the Eastern Expedition, then I will do it with him! Naturally, the two countries are at war, and it is most taboo for third parties to mix. In order to prevent Dongjing from uniting Xishun, I will first make a move to create evidence to stir up their relationship! From then on, Xishun hated Dongjing, not only would he not be co-opted by Dongjing, but when he saw that I was going to fight Dongjing, he might have to shout and cheer. ”

When Yao Duran heard this, he lost his voice and said, "Your Majesty already has the heart of the Eastern Expedition?!" ”

Huo Jingcheng looked at her who was making a fuss, and said lightly: "Otherwise, why spend this effort to separate Dongjing and Xishun?" Oh, stabilize the third party, don't mix with me, I will do it with him Dongjing Shen family! ”

Yao Duran said, "But...... Because of Shen Gongzi, His Majesty has signed a peace alliance with Dongjing, if His Majesty wants to raise troops, he will break the contract and lose his trust in the world! ”

Huo Jingcheng led her to the bed and sat down, leaned on the head of the bed leisurely, and said in a slow tone: "Gentleman, one set of light, one set of darkness, so next, I will find his stubble of Dongjing, I want to break the contract and destroy the recognition of the world, and raise the army to become famous!" ”

Yao Duran's beautiful eyes were complicated, and she nodded slowly: "I see." ”

Huo Jingcheng exhaled lightly and said, "I also thought about it, strike while the iron is hot, and immediately send a team of envoys to bring the corpses of those Dongjing assassins to Dongjing Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and see what he says about the third elder of the Shen family." It's just that after thinking about it, it's not appropriate, the road to Beijing is far away, and when I arrived, those corpses were already miserable, besides, those red sun totems were embroidered by my people, isn't it equivalent to giving your own handle to others? So this opportunity can only be given up, and then find another way in the future. ”

Yao Duran admired him in his heart, and said with a slight stud in his eyes: "Your Majesty is wise." ”

She also finally understood why Huo Jingcheng used the red sun totem to separate Dongjing and Xishun from Du Yan, it turned out that he was as wise as him, but he was not a vegetarian in the end, it turned out that he had already been defensive against Du Yan, he was afraid that his front foot would be in the middle of Dongjing and Xishun, and Du Yan would dismantle the stage in front of the prince with his back foot, so he was really not a human being inside and out.

But all in all, he was willing to guard against Du Yan, and she was relieved about it.
