"Hmm, save ......"

Where has Zhu Cihong ever seen such a scene? Looking at the white sword light flying horizontally, the soul was about to fly, and he collapsed to the ground without shouting 'help'.

Fortunately, he had taken a few steps back just now, and there was a wood carving above his head, blocking the view of the crossbow machine on the roof.

At the critical moment, Xu Changqing didn't have time to pay too much attention to it, and roared, and the treasure knife was like a javelin, sweeping straight towards the little girl killer on the left.

Although the shape and speed of the two little girl killers are good, their strength is obviously not the same dimension as Xu Changqing.

"Poof!"

In the next moment, Xu Changqing's treasure knife directly pierced the protective soft armor behind the little girl, and her body was suddenly uncontrollable, and she fell directly to the ground, and the blood instantly soaked her white clothes.

"Hmm......"

The other little girl was taken aback, her figure stagnated slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to check the status of her companion.

In this short period of time, Xu Changqing was like a mad cheetah, sweeping her side with lightning speed, and she didn't have time to take care of the crossbow machine on the roof.

"Yaga!"

This little girl reacted very quickly, and at the moment when Xu Changqing rushed in front of her, she screamed angrily, and swept towards Xu Changqing with a knife.

"Whew!"

But at this time, Xu Changqing had already taken out the dagger and was directly with her.

Daggers are obviously not as useful as knives!

Although the dagger blocked her fierce blow, the disadvantage was quickly exposed, and the little girl's little face was full of hideousness, like a ghost, she burst out again, and swept towards Xu Changqing with a backhand.

One inch long, one inch strong!

In this kind of hand-to-hand combat that widens the distance, the long soldiers undoubtedly have a great advantage, even if Xu Changqing's size is enough to top more than two little girls, he doesn't dare to be tough with her for a while, so he can only continue to hide like a donkey, but he hides in the direction of Zhu Cihong in front.

If Zhu Cihong loses, the whole situation will collapse in an instant, even if he is shot by the crossbow machine on the roof, Xu Changqing will not have time to take care of it.

"Bang ......"

At this time, Wang Xi and the others had already rushed up, and the familiar sound of bird chirping sounded, not only quickly suppressed the crossbow machine on the roof, but Wang Xi was even more bold, and hit the back thigh of the little girl who was chasing Xu Changqing, and she suddenly let out a miserable scream.

Xu Changqing had already pounced in front of Zhu Cihong at this time, how could he let go of this opportunity? He pulled a dagger out of his boot and shot it hard at her other leg.

"Whoosh!"

At this time, the people on the roof also knew that there was no chance, and the crossbow machine shot indiscriminately in the room, and quickly left.

"Poof!"

Almost at the same time, Xu Changqing's second dagger directly pierced the other leg of the little girl, and blood gushed out quickly.

Wang Xi was also extremely perceptive, and did not rashly open the gun again, shouting: "Protect the Hou Ye, protect the Prince Ye, catch it alive!" ”

Soon, the wolf-like soldiers had rushed up.

The surviving little girl looked at Xu Changqing at this time, and suddenly smiled weirdly, and in a moment, her head suddenly tilted, and black blood gushed out of her mouth quickly.

After a few moments, the situation was completely under control, and hundreds of pro-soldiers had poured in all around.

But at this time, the whole venue was already as quiet as a morgue, and the depression was terrifying!

Xu Changqing sat on the ground with the paralyzed Zhu Cihong, and did not get up in a hurry, his face was already gloomy.

"Dashuai, are you alright?"

Wang Xi saw that the situation was completely stabilized, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward.

Xu Changqing's face was expressionless, "Chase!" Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the escaped assassin for Lao Tzu! ”

"Yes!"

When Wang Xi went to chase the assassin, the surrounding soldiers formed a human city wall, and Queen Zhou and the others were slightly relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Prince, Lord Hou, are you okay?" ”

"No, it's okay, let's make the queen mother worried......"

Zhu Cihong once again showed his difference, even if his pants were scared to pee, he still maintained the scene on the surface.

Xu Changqing glanced at Queen Zhou, asked Queen Zhou to take care of Zhu Cihong and the others, and strode forward to personally investigate the bodies of these two little girl killers.

"Dashuai, this, this is actually a twin brother......"

Soon, when the soldiers stripped the bodies of these two little girls, they were also a little dumbfounded, they were actually two little children.

However, they were all castrated.

"Master Hou, it's not about it, it's not about the slave and the maid, they, the two of them only came to the slave and the maid half a month ago, and the slave and the maid looked at them pitiful, that's why they were left behind. I knew that they were killers, and I didn't dare to take them in if I gave the slave a hundred dares......"

Maga Yunu had already been scared to pee at this time, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately, there was already a wet stain under his body, and the smell of swine made people frown.

Next to him, the prefect of Jining also looked similar, trembling, but he didn't know what to say.

That is, he was lucky and quickly got under the table, and at this time, he was the only one at the main table who survived.

Ignoring the two of them, Xu Changqing carefully checked the situation of the two little kid killers, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Not to mention the Japanese they spoke before, just looking at the diaper-like white pants they were wearing, it is already certain that this must be an island country, and it is a well-cultivated ninja!

At this time, although there was no evidence, Xu Changqing couldn't help but think of the Zheng family......

If you want to hire the best of the ninjas in the island country, there is no one who has a wider range of ways than the Zheng family.

But why did the Zheng family do this?

Xu Changqing couldn't find an answer for a while.

After a while, Xu Changqing was slightly relieved, and said to the prefect of Jining: "Lord Huang, shouldn't you give me Xu Changqing an explanation?" ”

This Lord Huang was about to pee again, although he was the prefect of Jining, but there were too many big bodhisattvas in this small temple in Jining, and it was not his turn to have the final say.

However, this person is also from a professional class, and he still has the qualities he should have, so he hurriedly trembled and said: "Master Hou, you, don't worry, the lower official will go to investigate immediately, if you don't find out the matter, you, although you are convicted of the guilt of the lower official, ......"

Xu Changqing thought for a moment and waved his hand to let him out.

When things come to this point, it is definitely impossible to drink and sing anymore, but Xu Changqing is not in a hurry to leave, after all, this is the first scene, even if they plan carefully, there will definitely be flaws!

Asked the soldiers to take all the gentry outside to the courtyard to be guarded, and asked people to go outside the city to send reinforcements over, Xu Changqing lit a bag of cigarettes and paced back and forth.

After a while, as the crowd was evacuated, the feeling of depression in the room was slightly lessened.

Zhu Cihong also recovered a lot at this time, and came over together accompanied by Queen Zhou, and respectfully saluted Xu Changqing: "Master Hou, thank you, thank you for saving your life......"

Xu Changqing smiled: "Prince, it is the responsibility of the minister to protect your thoughtfulness, you don't have to worry about it." However, the situation is unclear at this time, and we can't leave here for the time being, so you can rest here for a while. ”

Zhu Cihong said yes again and again, and quickly went to rest obediently.

Empress Zhou was still a little shocked, and said in a low voice: "Changqing, this, what's going on?" ”

Xu Changqing looked into Queen Zhou's eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Empress, although I shouldn't doubt you about this, I think it's better to talk about it, you, did you notice it before?" ”

Queen Zhou was suddenly a little aggrieved, but Xu Changqing said that it was much better than hiding and secretly creating a gap, and she bit her red lips tightly and said: "Changqing, I do have precautions against you, but how can I mess with this kind of thing?" We are one! ”

Xu Changqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly smiled: "I'm relieved to have your words." You also put your heart in your belly. No matter how cunning the fox is, there will be a time when the tail will be exposed! ”

……

More than two hours later, it was already ugly, and many clues were cleared.

About half a month ago, the killer laid out the layout in the troupe, and the soldiers and officials had already gone to arrest the relevant people.

But the only ones who are really in the troupe are these two little kids.

Empress Zhou and the others had already slept in the temporary beds here, but Xu Changqing did not feel the slightest sleep.

The layout of more than half a month, this is obviously not a temporary idea.

Not surprisingly, the sneak attacker on the roof is very likely to be an island ninja, and even if he can find it, it is estimated that he may not be able to catch it alive.

And he didn't show his face at all, and the chances of catching him are not very high.

lit a bag of cigarettes, and Xu Changqing reviewed the assassination process again.

There is no doubt that the killer is aimed at himself, and the second target is the crown prince Zhu Cihong, but the overall target is undoubtedly both himself and Zhu Cihong.

If you think about it empathically, whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Dashun, or Nanjing, there are motives.

But who exactly it is, the key players have been killed, which seems to be a bit of a headless case!

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Changqing suddenly had a cleverness and slapped his head hard, how could he forget that key person?

Thinking about it, Xu Changqing hesitated for a moment, but still ordered the palace maid on duty at night to call Yuan Cairen over.

Yuan Cairen really hadn't slept yet, and soon, Yingying came to Xu Changqing's side, and was well-behaved: "I've seen Master Hou." ”

Xu Changqing nodded, thought for a while, and took Yuan Cairen to a closed room.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Can we have a good chat? ”

Looking at Yuan Cairen's nervous appearance, Xu Changqing smiled and poured her a cup of tea.

Yuan Cairen took a sip of warm tea, relaxed a little, his pretty face suddenly turned a little red, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, you, you are a good person, I, I believe you ......"

"Forehead ......"

Xu Changqing was stunned, he didn't expect to get such an evaluation from Yuan Cairen......

Seeing Xu Changqing smiling and shaking his head, Yuan Cairen's face turned even redder, and he said in a low voice: "Master Hou, isn't it, did I say something wrong......

Xu Changqing hurriedly gathered his mind and said with a smile: "It's not that it's wrong, I'm glad you trust me so much." Yuan Cairen, it's already like this, let's not talk darkly. You came to me before, did you find something? ”

Yuan Cairen's pretty face also became solemn, but he said a little twisted: "Uncle, I, I said, you can't be angry......

“……”

"It doesn't hurt if you say it."

"Okay."

Yuan Cairen relaxed: "Uncle, you, didn't you notice before that there was something wrong with this Deputy Envoy Cao?" ”

"Something is wrong with Vice Envoy Cao? What do you mean? ”

Yuan Cairen's face turned even redder, "Uncle, when I was a child, my family took over some business, making clothes, makeup or something for the troupe, and occasionally making some masks. I didn't notice anything wrong with Deputy Envoy Cao at first, but that day, the prince happened to let me go to serve tea, and I accidentally saw that there was something wrong with the position behind his ear......"
