Gu Zhixing listened to Lu Zhe tell him about the situation at the time of the assassination, his face slowly became solemn, and he said in a serious tone: "It seems that these people have been prepared for a long time, I am afraid that when the king of Mengke County proposed the marriage, they were planning this matter, so they thought about every aspect so carefully and left no traces."

Lu Zhe nodded in agreement: "Yes, on the street today, those people have even planned the escape path after the successful assassination, so they didn't let us catch the tail, not only that, but even the point where we hid in the secret archery, people went to the empty building, and there was no trace, and now we don't know where to start." ”

Gu Zhixing didn't think so.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was cold and deep: "How can there be no way, as long as you have done something, you will definitely be able to find traces by peeling off the cocoon, the person who is hiding behind it cannot hide for a lifetime, it doesn't matter if you can't find it now, I thought of a good way." ”

In order to solve the current problem, Gu Zhixing can do everything.

If the murderer has not been caught, and the county lord of Meng Ke is assassinated in Xisheng, and Xisheng has not handled the follow-up well, and he can't give Meng Ke an explanation, I am afraid that not only will the relationship with Meng Ke be affected, but even the entire continent will look down on them.

Finally, the image of Xisheng slowly improved with Su Mian's efforts, and Gu Zhixing would never allow this to happen.

Lu Zhe's expression was solemn, and he had some guesses in his heart, but it was not confirmed, so he asked hesitantly: "What does the prince want to do?" ”

Gu Zhixing's expression was restrained, his expression was deep and cold, and his tone was also cold, without any ups and downs: "Find the county lord of Mengke first, as long as we persuade her to cooperate with us, there will be no murderer who cannot be caught." ”

Lu Zhe suddenly understood, and also confirmed his guess just now.

But his face was very ugly, and he was a little unconfident and hesitant when he spoke: "Lord Wang, wouldn't this be good?" Just thinking about it, I'm afraid that this county lord of Mengke will not cooperate with us, and use other county lords as bait, will Lord Chen agree? ”

Gu Zhixing exhaled slightly, his face was stable: "She will agree, now, I'm afraid she is as curious as we are, who is so bold and dares to kill her so much." ”

The truth says so, but not everyone has the courage to do life-threatening things.

Gu Zhixing didn't continue to say more, but asked Lu Zhe to quickly take you to the people who flew to the patrol camp to find the county lord, and said directly: "Look for it with great fanfare, I just want to let this assassin know that the county lord is still alive, so not only will we be in a hurry to find her, but the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely not be able to bear it." ”

Before Lu Zhe could say anything, Liu Ce, who rushed out of the post house, hurriedly said: "I can't do it, the prince must not be like this, we don't know where this county lord is yet, your plan is too dangerous, in order to catch the assassin, you can't take the county lord to risk." ”

In Gu Zhixing's opinion, as long as the assassin can be caught, nothing else matters, and he firmly believes: "Wouldn't this speed up the pace of finding the county lord?" The county lord must still be in the city, so as long as the defense in the city is done well, don't let go of any clues, won't those assassins show their feet? Also, are you questioning your own abilities and thinking that after finding the county lord, you can't protect her? ”

"It's not." Liu Ce hurriedly shook his head, his face was still a little pale, but his expression was very insistent, "How can the prince be sure that we will definitely be able to find the county lord before the assassins?" ”

Liu Ce said solemnly: "Of course we have the ability to protect the county lord, but don't forget today's assassination, the city has already been armed, and they have killed the maid in front of everyone, not to mention that the current situation is that the enemy is in the dark, so how can we expose the county lord to the light?" ”

At this time, Liu Ce didn't say this in order to compete with Gu Zhixing.

Instead, he clearly realized that something had happened to the county lord, and the emperor would hold him accountable, and he was the first to bear the brunt of it, and he would definitely not be able to escape.

Therefore, he cared more about the safety of the county lord than anyone else, and naturally it was impossible for him to agree with Gu Zhixing's risky proposal.

Lu Zhe also disagreed, and echoed: "Lord Wang, what the prime minister said is not unreasonable, we still have to carry out this matter in secret, find the county lord first, if we find it, we can ensure the safety of the county lord, and then we will discuss the matter of using her as bait to bring out the murderer behind the scenes, so it's not too late." ”

Gu Zhixing hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Okay, then do as you say, the people of the entire patrol camp will be used by you, and the Jingzhao Yamen will also send idle people to help and find the county lord as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Lu Zhe's brows were tightly locked, and he only felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became heavy.

When Shen Manzhi woke up, he found himself lying in a completely unfamiliar room, probably lit with soothing incense, and the smell in the room was very good.

But this kind of aromatherapy couldn't soothe her soul at all, Shen Manzhi sat up from the bed suddenly, and still heard the chaotic picture of the assassination in her mind: "Xiaoxi! ”2020

She lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but Satsuki, who had been guarding the bedside, rushed over and hugged her: "County Lord, where are you going, there may be assassins lurking everywhere outside, it's too dangerous." ”

Shen Manzhi's chest was undulating, his eyes were completely unfocused, and he landed on Sayue so empty, staring at her for a long time before he found his voice: "Is Xiaoxi ...... Isn't it already, woo. ”

Shen Manzhi stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, not daring to continue, his chest was uncomfortable. Tears fell uncontrollably, and his voice was choked and hoarse.

Sayue was also uncomfortable in her heart, but she had to hold on and comfort Shen Manzhi: "County Lord, Xiaoxi will not die in vain, the assassin will definitely be caught, and he will definitely be punished, but now what you need to do is to stay here well, it is not safe anywhere outside now." ”

Shen Manzhi slowly calmed down, and when she heard the word death, all the strength in her body seemed to be taken away in an instant, and she fell softly on Sayue's body.

"County Lord!" Sayue was startled, and hurriedly helped her sit down, looking at her empty and sad eyes, her heart tightened, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe, "County Lord, don't scare the slave maid, the current situation is not the worst, Xiaoxi...... If she knew that you were so sad, she would definitely be restless, and you had to be good to be worthy of her, the county lord. ”

Sayue and Xiaoxi are also maids, and their relationship with Shen Manzhi is so deep, she believes that Xiaoxi is definitely willing to die for Shen Manzhi.

But Shen Manzhi couldn't understand this mood, she hissed in despair, but she was so sad that she couldn't make a sound, her hands were clutching her clothes tightly, and her nails were about to be broken.

Sayue was distressed, and hurriedly supported Shen Manzhi: "County Lord, don't be like this, you slaves like this are distressed, Xiaoxi She won't blame you, the North Road has happened, what we can do now is to avenge Xiaoxi, before you cut the enemy with your own hands, you must take care of your body." ”

Satsuki was about to cry out.

Shen Manzhi raised his head, forced back the tears in his eyes, reached out to hug Sayue, buried his head on her shoulder, and sobbed: "Yes, revenge, you must take revenge." ”

Satsuki was right, until the assassin was found, and until the mastermind behind it was found, she must not fall easily.

Shen Manzhi took a deep breath, slowly relieved himself from the intense sadness and pain, took a deep breath to control his expression, and then slowly reached out to wipe away his tears.

It took a long time for her to regain her calm voice, and she asked hesitantly, "But Satsuki, what can we do now?" To join the mission? How can the mission help? ”

They were all Moncos, unfamiliar with the Western Sage, and certainly could not find an Assassin, and their words would not work.

Sniffed slightly. restrained his crying and slowly explained: "County Lord, we are still in the West Sage, and we are here to make peace, and now there is an accident on the territory of the West Sage, they don't want to be slapped in the face, they will definitely want to catch the assassin more than we do, we just need to find a trusted West Sage to help." ”

"Who can I find?" Shen Manzhi slowly calmed down, but his brain was still empty, and he couldn't think about anything at all.

It was also at this time that Shen Manzhi realized that something was wrong, pulled Sayue's sleeve and asked her anxiously: "Didn't you say that it is not safe anywhere now?" So what about here, where are we, is it really safe here? ”

Sayue reacted at this time, and she didn't have time to explain the situation to Shen Manzhi.

She hurriedly reported: "Don't worry, county lord, this is the Luwu Academy, and the guards of the Regent's Mansion are guarded outside, and the assassins can't come and don't dare to come, and the slaves and maids have seen the Regent Princess, and she said that she is willing to take us in temporarily and ensure our safety." ”

After all, if they die here, Su Mian will not be able to escape responsibility, so for now, they are still safe.

When Shen Manzhi heard about the academy, his guard relaxed, his expression relaxed, and he said with appreciation: "Your decision to come to the academy is right, now for us, there is no safer place than this place, everyone says that the founder of the academy, the princess regent, will not harm us, and the academy teaches that all people are created equal, and it is safe here." ”

At this moment, for Shen Manzhi, safety is the highest evaluation.

Sayue also slowly relaxed, and asked tentatively: "So County Lord, I was just wondering, can we ask the princess to help, if the princess is willing to help us find the assassins, maybe we will be more efficient, even if she doesn't help, let her tell the mission your news, let Lord Chen know that we are okay, it's also good, so as not to worry Lord Chen." ”

If such a big thing happened, what was the situation on the mission's side, Satsuki didn't know about it, so it was inevitable that she would be a little worried.
