The body and the knife have all been dug up, and now, although Gongliang Wudang still has doubts, he has to withdraw his troops from the Phoenix Tower according to what he said before.

Although the matter of the Phoenix Tower has come to an end, the matter of the assassins is not over, and everyone from all walks of life is looking for traces of the assassins in the open and in the dark. But the Assassin seemed to have vanished out of thin air, never to be seen again.

After checking for a long time, the prison knife came to Ye Xuemei's side with a tired face, and he said: "After looking for so long and not finding it, those assassins seem to have disappeared out of thin air!" ”

Ye Xuemei frowned slightly and asked, "What about the military defense camp?" But what are the clues? ”

Prison Knife shook his head and said, "No." The people in the military defense battalion have also been looking for it, but there is no news. ”

Ye Xuemei was also quite unpredictable about this, she didn't speak for a long time, and finally after a moment of silence, she asked, "What happened to the Phoenix Tower?" ”

"King Xin and King Mu have withdrawn their troops! According to what Guangjing said, they found the body in Wuyi Mountain, and there was also Mrs. Li sitting there, and they had no choice. ”

"Jingzhao Mansion Yin, Mrs. Li......" Ye Xuemei kept chanting the names of these two people in her mouth, and after a while, she seemed to remember something, hooked her lips and smiled: "I finally know why the assassins are shifting our attention to the Phoenix Tower!" ”

Prison Knife asked, "Why?" ”

"Because the person behind the Phoenix Tower is Emperor Song!"

As soon as her words came out, both Prison Dao and Rong Xiang were shocked, and Prison Dao asked, "Why do you say that?" Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, how can he be confused with these Qinglou women? ”

Ye Xuemei said with a smile: "Think about it, one is the parent official in charge of Kaifeng, and the other is the famous Taifu, who will have such the ability to dispatch them?" ”

"But Guangjing only married the son of Mrs. Li not long ago, does it mean that Your Majesty will be unpredictable? Can you expect this to happen soon? ”

"In fact, the Qinglou woman is not necessarily really for feelings. These are all the intelligence agents of Emperor Song, and they are married to various dignitaries and nobles as concubines, in fact, they are all to hide people's eyes and ears well! And these people will also form a strong and powerful mysterious force, once someone wants to be unfavorable to the Phoenix Tower, then the people behind them, such as Li Zheng and Wei Chengcheng, are the best umbrella! ”

Prison Knife didn't expect that he had checked it for so long before, thinking that Wei Cheng and Li Taifu were not from the Wan clan, but he didn't expect to find it wrong.

Puzzled, the knife asked, "Then what are they doing this for?" Is it just to ruin His Majesty's reputation? ”

Ye Xuemei lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and said, "Have you searched every household in Kaifeng City?" ”

"Except for the homes of some princes and nobles, the rest of the people's homes have been searched!" After saying this, the prisoner's eyelids jumped fiercely, and he said, "Could it be that these assassins are hiding in the palace?" ”

Ye Xuemei knew that he would definitely not believe it, so she said: "I know that there was a great war between the Song Kingdom and the Heshe Kingdom four years ago, but this does not affect what people with intentions do. Think about it, if you let the world know that Emperor Song has a relationship with Phoenix Tower, what will they think? ”

This time Rong Xiang was very smart, and she said: "They will definitely think that Emperor Song is hypocritical and incompetent, and they will not trust him so much from now on!" ”

Ye Xuemei replied: "That's right! And Emperor Song's dark forces will definitely not be limited to the Phoenix Tower, there will definitely be more, once they are all pulled out, then his dragon chair will not be able to sit steadily! ”

The prisoner was puzzled: "Why is this? ”

"Who benefits the most in the whole thing is, of course, his purpose!"

"Got it, I'm going to report to the prince!" The prisoner already knew the truth of the matter, and he must go and tell the public about it.

However, the past few days of running made him too tired, and the others had not yet walked out of Ye Xuemei's room, and he was already unsteady on his feet, and almost fainted to the ground.

Seeing this, Rong Xiang hurriedly helped him up. Seeing this, Ye Xuemei said, "You have been running too much for days, so let's rest and continue!" ”

The prison knife shook his head and said, "If I don't catch the assassin for a day, my heart will be uneasy!" ”

Ye Xuemei looked at him, nodded, and said, "Then you go!" Every two hours, I will be told what I have found and what the kings are doing. In addition, the Phoenix Building side also continued to star, and Li Zheng's side also had to let people stare at it. His appearance this time must have attracted the attention of those people, and I am afraid that it will be aimed at him. ”

"Good!" The prison knife nodded, and after his strength recovered somewhat, he wanted to walk out, and before leaving, he glanced back at Ye Xuemei and said, "Maybe you're right!" ”

Ye Xuemei looked at his back and hooked her lips and smiled, it seemed that he had realized the crisis lurking under the calm surface of Kaifeng City. Although King Ning has a dark night camp in his hands, he may not be able to survive it.

She said slowly: "From the moment King Ning took charge of the Dark Night Camp, he was destined not to be able to live a dull life. Unless he goes to the end of Zhaoming Palace in the future! ”

After hearing this, Rong Xiang was greatly surprised and said, "Does the girl want to support Prince Ning to ascend to the throne?" Although Prince Ning is good, he is not a descendant or a long, how can he sit on the throne of the emperor? ”

Ye Xuemei looked at the candlelight that was slightly beating on the table, and said slowly: "However, if you want King Baoning to be okay and want revenge, there is only such a way!" No matter how tough it is, give it a try! ”

In Kaifeng City, the night rain was pouring down, and in a certain inconspicuous house, a person holding an oil-paper umbrella came to a room in the backyard with a faint light.

After four knocks of varying lengths, the door quietly opened, and the man took the umbrella and walked in.

There was only a small oil lamp lit in the room, and the light was unusually dim, and there was a petite figure sitting at the table, with delicate and small features. This woman is the woman from the Hesher country who blocked the road and stabbed Gong Liang before. She asked coldly, "Why did you withdraw?" ”

After the man put down the umbrella that was still dripping with water, he said, "They invited Li Zheng and dug up the body and the scimitar, and I had to withdraw!" ”

"So you're going to give up on the plan?"

The man said coldly: "Of course not, if Gongliang Rong and the Wan clan take my throne, I naturally can't stop there!" It's just that don't you think Li Zheng is a better target? ”

The woman showed a look of surprise, "What do you say?" ”

"This time, although Li Zheng relieved the siege of Phoenix Tower, it also proved that he, like Wei Cheng, was a lackey of Gongliang Rongruo! You said that if Li Zheng died at this time, and Guangjing happened to disappear at this time, what can you prove? ”

"So what?" The woman asked inexplicably.

"If Li Zheng is still injured at this time, it proves that Guangjing forced him to go when he went to Phoenix Tower before, so the corpse and the scimitar are naturally no longer evidence. Everyone's eyes will return to the Phoenix Tower once again. I'd like to see how this time will end! ”

After listening to his words, the woman smiled lightly and said, "Is the prince really so cruel to Li Zheng?" As far as I know, Li Zhengke once taught you! As the saying goes, one day is a teacher and a father for life, you are amazing! I'm just worried that the prince will do the same to us in the future! ”

The man shook his head with a light smile and said, "Miss Heshu is too worried, we are allies, how can there be such a day!" Since the day Li Zheng beat him up and became a good person, he was destined to have such a result today! If you can, I hope Miss Heshu will do it tonight! ”

"Alright! The prince is anxious! Let's hope it won't come one day! When the woman said this, there was still a trace of jealousy in her eyes.

"Helan Knife!" The woman called out to the darkness, and immediately a strange-shaped figure stepped out of the darkness.

The woman said to him, "Do you know Li Zheng? ”

The man known as the Helan Knife nodded, and the woman said, "You go and kill him, and before you kill him, remember to get some wounds on his body." In addition, there is a woman named Guangjing, go and bring her to me! ”

"Yes! Miss! The man obeyed, and immediately disappeared from the darkness.

By the time of the third watch, the rain had gradually stopped, and after listening to Ye Xuemei's instructions, the prisoner told the prisoner about the matter, and after discussing it with the prisoner, it was decided that the two of them would stay in Li Zheng's mansion to monitor him. But at this time, I saw a black-clothed assassin with a person under his arm, and ran quickly. He was accompanied by another Black-clad Assassin.

They wanted to quietly chase after them to see where the black-clothed assassin went, but they didn't know that they were discovered by the black-clothed assassin halfway through.

In the stalemate between the two sides, the prisoners found that the person under the man's arm was actually Guangjing, and also recognized that the scimitar they were holding was the knife of Heshe.

The two Prisoners and Prisoner Knife had not faced an opponent since they entered the Night Camp at the age of four, but the martial arts of the two black-clad assassins were extremely secretive, and neither of them was an opponent. I really wanted to take advantage of the other party's inattention and send a distress signal to pierce the clouds, but I didn't find the opportunity.

And one of the black-clad assassins was none other than the Helan Knife, who was bent on entangling the prison knife and preventing him from sending a distress signal, and also injured him. The prison knife lost its center of gravity and fell off the roof. Seeing that the prison knife had lost its trace, Mi Prisoner's heart was torn apart, and he used all his strength to fight to the death with the Helan knife.

However, just as the two of them were fighting to the death, a brilliant rain of five-colored light suddenly exploded in the dark sky, and then disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

After sending the signal, the other people in the Dark Night Camp had already rushed to the rescue, and the prisoner asked the prisoner to bandage the wound first, and by the way, he told Ye Xuemei about it, while he went after the Heshes.

With previous experience, the prisoner didn't get too close to avoid being rediscovered. He followed Helan Dao all the way and watched him enter a courtyard, which was golden and splendid, and the prisoner secretly thought in his heart when he saw it, but he didn't expect that it was this lord who had made Kaifeng City unpeaceful for several days.

He knew that his mission was over, and was about to return when he suddenly saw a petite woman standing behind him, but he had not noticed it before.

The woman held a maple leaf in her hand and said to the prisoner, "Since you are here, why do you need to leave in a hurry? ”

Mi Prisoner knew the maple leaf in her hand, which was the totem of the Heshe country, and he was shocked and said, "Are you also from the Heshe country?" ”

The woman laughed a few times, and the prisoner said, "Why on earth did you want to collude with that man? ”

He Shu Hongling smiled and asked rhetorically, "What about you?" And who sent you? ”

"I'm not going to tell you!" Mi Prisoner knew that this woman's martial arts would be stronger than the previous black-clothed assassin, so he didn't want to fight, and wanted to get up and leave. But how could Heshu Hongling let him go like this? She threw out the maple leaf in her hand at once, the maple leaf seemed to be soft and boneless, but when it flew towards the prisoner, the force was incomparably greater. It took a lot of effort for the prisoner to get out of the way.

He Shu Hongling looked at him and said, "What our Heshu family is best at is interrogation, since you don't tell me, then stay and let me interrogate well!" ”

Before the prisoner could react, He Shuhongling had already pulled out the scimitar beside him and kept attacking the prisoner, and the prisoner couldn't see the trajectory of the knife at all, but the knife could hurt people invisibly, leaving a lot of wounds on his body. The prisoner was covered in wounds, and he had no strength to resist.

There is a rule in the Dark Night Camp that they must never be captured alive, so there is a poison left between the teeth of each of them, and a single bite can kill them in an instant.

However, Na and Shu Hongling seemed to know what the prisoner wanted to do, so she reached out and dislocated his jaw, and also removed the bones of his arm, and the prisoner collapsed there, unable to do anything. Seeing that Heshu was about to catch him and take him away for interrogation, at this time, a bright light flashed behind Heshu, and after Heshu took this palm, he took many steps back.

He Shu Hongling was furious, and no one had been able to save people from her hands. She lifted her footsteps and chased after her, but after chasing her back and forth a few times, she was left far behind by the man, and the man's whereabouts were never seen again.

The sky was already bright, Rong Xiang cooked a bowl of porridge for Ye Xuemei, and said: "Girl, you haven't rested all night, it's dawn, let's drink some porridge first, be careful of ruining your body." ”

Since she came back from outside with a wound from the prison knife last night, she has not rested in worry. The prison knife told her the ins and outs of the incident, and then returned to Li Zheng's mansion, only to find that Li Zheng had died in his inner room, covered in scars.

Ye Xuemei couldn't guess what the other party wanted to do for a while, and the only useful clue was at the prisoner, but after a whole night, the prisoner still didn't come back.

He was also worried about the prison knife, and after he bandaged the wounds on his body, he leaned on the door frame and waited for the prisoner's return, but he didn't wait for a long time.

Rong Xiang said after seeing his worried look: "Don't worry too much, the Ji people have their own natural appearance, and the prisoner will definitely be fine!" ”

The prison knife looked at her, pulled the corners of his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "We have never been auspicious, how can we have a heavenly appearance?" ”

His words made Rong Xiang hesitate slightly, but he didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, she said again, "It will be fine!" ”

At this time, the prison knife glanced at the woman. Since he saw her for the first time, he didn't have a good impression of her, but he didn't expect that at this time, she was comforting him, and there was a warm current in his heart, saying: "Thank you!" ”

His words surprised Rong Xiang slightly, but he didn't expect him to say thank you.

After waiting for a while, he finally waited for the return of the prisoner, and when the prisoner saw this, he hurriedly greeted him, and he found that he had many wounds on his body, all of which were not there before, and he immediately asked, "Are you injured?" ”

The prisoner shook his head and said to him, "It's not in the way, it's all skin injuries, take me to see the girl!" ”

The prison knife and Rong Xiang helped him into Ye Xuemei's room, the prison knife bandaged his wounds, and he said to Ye Xuemei: "Girl, we are all wrong, it is not King Xin who colludes with the people of Heshe, it is King Mu!" ”

His words stunned everyone present, everyone knew that King Mu was enthusiastic but very frizzy, how could he be the mastermind behind the planning of this kind of thing?

However, this is a true fact, and it is what the prisoner has seen with his own eyes.

Ye Xuemei looked at his wound and asked, "Who injured you like this?" ”

Mi Prisoner replied: "It is a woman named Heshu Hongling, and she is also from the country of Heshe. She is petite, but her internal strength is strong. She subdued me, crushed my jaw and removed my arm just as I was about to kill myself by poisoning. Thanks to a mysterious person who saved me! ”

"Who is that mysterious man?"

"I don't know, I didn't see him the whole time. But he seemed to know that I was the king's man, and sent me to the gate of the palace. Also, his martial arts are much higher than Ah San and Ah Si. ”

Ah San Ah Si is the two people with the highest martial arts in the Dark Night Camp, but this mysterious person is higher than the two of them.

"Is it His Holiness?" The prison knife raised its own questions.

"I don't know!"

At this time, Ye Xuemei stood up, walked to the window, looked at the pot of green spider plants, and felt infinite emotion in her heart.

The prison knife said, "Isn't the girl going to tell the prince?" ”

Ye Xuemei thought for a moment, she thought, it's time to tell Gongliang to stop this matter, after all, the road in the future will be more difficult, and he himself must be prepared.

Gongliang Yuzhi lay on the bed for a long time during the injury, and after recovering from the injury, he went down to the ground and stretched his muscles and bones in the courtyard.

At this time, Ye Xuemei walked over, looked at him and said with a light smile: "Lord Wang, your injuries are healed?" ”

After seeing Ye Xuemei, Gongliang also smiled and said: "It's all the girl's medicine, and she recovers quickly!" I also thought that if I could use it in the army, it would be a blessing for the soldiers! ”

Ye Xuemei said with a smile: "I have already written down the formula of that medicine and handed it to Mr. Cai, if the prince needs it, just go to Mr. Cai to get it." There are also some other recipes for healing injuries, and I will slowly write them down and give them to the prince. ”

While the two were talking, they entered Gongliang Yuzhi's residence, and Gongliang Yuzhi asked, "The girl came this time, but there is news of those Heshe assassins?" ”

Ye Xuemei nodded and said, "Not bad!" Last night, the prisoner and the prisoner knife met them at Li Zheng's mansion. ”

"Mrs. Li? What do they go there for? Although Gongliang Yuzhi was injured and couldn't leave the house, Manager Cai would still tell him all about the outside affairs, because he also knew that Li Zheng and Guangjing went to Phoenix Tower to help relieve the siege.

"Those people from Heshe killed Li Taifu and took Guangjing captive, blaming Li Zheng's death on the missing Guangjing. Their purpose in doing this is to bring everyone's eyes back to the Phoenix Tower! ”

After hearing Ye Xuemei's words, Gongliang Yuzhi was very shocked in his heart, he had already known these days that every assassin in Heshe Kingdom had a deep purpose behind everything, so this time, what was their purpose?

Ye Xuemei saw that his brows were tightly locked, so she said: "How is the relationship between the prince and King Xin and King Mu on weekdays?" ”

Gongliang replied: "The eldest brother is many years older than me, and there is not much contact between us on weekdays. Seventh brother, you also saw it last time, he and I walked the closest, but I don't know what happened in the past two years, and his temperament is very jumpy! ”

"In the last two years, that is, after His Majesty ascended the throne today?"

Gongliang looked at her and asked puzzledly, "What does this mean when the girl has something to say?" ”

"Why does the prince think the first emperor passed the throne to His Majesty?"

Gongliang said inexplicably: "The emperor's brother is the grandson of his father, who is generous and benevolent, and also has the talent to govern the world, so it is natural to pass it on to him!" ”

Ye Xuemei shook her head with a smile and said, "As far as I know, His Majesty today is not the true concubine of the first emperor. ”

Gongliang was shocked and said, "You mean the seventh brother? ”

"That's right! As far as I know, the first empress was the crown princess of the first emperor, and later after the first emperor ascended the throne as emperor, he canonized her as the empress. But not long after the canonization, the first queen was poisoned and almost died. Later, after verification, all the evidence pointed to Wan Guifei at that time. The first emperor ordered Wan Guifei to be sent to the cold palace, and her family and clansmen were also implicated. But later, after the death of the first queen, the truth was revealed to the world, and I knew that that the incident was not done by Concubine Wan. The first emperor released her from the cold palace. But because of that incident, Wan Guifei's mother was frightened and died soon after. ”

Listening to Ye Xuemei's narration, Gongliang's face became not very good-looking.

Ye Xuemei didn't mean to stop, she continued: "The first emperor felt guilty about Wan Guifei, so he took more care of the Wan clan, and also promoted Wan Guifei to the queen. It's just that what Emperor Xian didn't expect was that his move caused irreparable serious consequences later. He gradually discovered that more than half of the people in the court were connected with the Wan family. And he can't move them easily, once he moves them, it will cause turmoil in the court, giving Wu and Xia an opportunity to take advantage of. ”
