Qin Wan was frightened by the people who had just patrolled the camp, Shi Min put her arms around Qin Wan and went straight back to Xihua Houfu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm so sorry I shouldn't have let you go out for a walk with me, and I scared you." Shi Min blamed himself a little.
"Childe, I'm fine, it's just that when you fought with those two black-clothed men just now, it was too dangerous, I was worried about you, and then I was suddenly arrested by the people from the patrol battalion, so I was a little scared...... Qin Wan whispered.
"Childe, where have you and Miss Qin gone? Came back so late. Xu San walked over from a distance and asked.
Xu San walked up to the two of them, saw Qin Wan looking a little shocked, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”
"I couldn't sleep just now, so I went out for a walk, and I happened to meet Miss Qin, so we went out together, but I didn't expect to meet a few people in black, and there was a person on my back, I saw them sneaky and chased after them, and I fought with two of them."
"What? You still fought with them? Are you okay then? Xu San hurriedly asked.
Shi Min smiled and patted Xu San and said, "How come? Isn't that okay with me? Uncle Xu, don't worry. It's just that those few black-clothed people have extraordinary martial arts, Yecheng is afraid that he can't find a few people who can have such skills, why haven't I heard of such a master before? ”
"Then Miss Qin, this is ......" Xu San saw that Qin Wan's expression was different, so he asked Shi Min.
"Later, the people from the patrol battalion rushed over, and they didn't see it clearly in the dark light, so they directly arrested Miss Qin, and they were a little frightened."
After Shi Min finished speaking, he said to Qin Wan again: "Miss Qin, you go back first, it's not too early, rest early." ”
Qin Wan nodded silently, glanced at Shi Min, and turned to leave.
"Can Childe see where those people are coming from?" Xu San asked.
Shi Min shook his head and said, "These people have simple moves, but their moves are all killing moves that take people's lives, like the purpose of their martial arts practice is to kill people. ”
Xu San was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "It seems that this is an assassin deliberately trained by someone. ”
"Third Uncle Xu, I understand when you say this, have you heard about Liu Guifei's assassination?"
Xu San nodded and asked, "Could it be related to the man in black you just saw?" ”
"No, no, no, if the assassin who assassinated Liu Guifei had the skills of these people, then Liu Guifei would have been killed a long time ago, I am talking about Liu Guifei being attacked by assassins, and an assassin was captured at the gate of the Taoist temple."
"Huh? And this kind of thing? I haven't heard of that. ”
"It's no wonder that Your Majesty only found out this morning, Wen Cang and King Qing didn't tell Your Majesty at the first time, it was Zhang Bao who said it."
"Then you mean that the men in black you saw tonight may be the ones who captured the assassins?"
"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, the person taken away by those men in black at that time was also dressed in black, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? That's how it should be! Shi Min said as he thought.
"Then what was the purpose of these men in black taking the assassin? They should not be under the same master. ”
"Definitely not, I see that the assassination on Wolong Mountain is far from being as simple as I know now, and there are many things behind this that Your Majesty doesn't know."
Xu San nodded silently: "Childe, what you said makes sense, listening to you say this, it seems that it is indeed a little complicated." ”
"No, I have to go into the palace tomorrow to tell Your Majesty about this!"
"Do you want to talk to the general first?"
"It's okay, this matter has nothing to do with us, I just told Your Majesty what I saw and what I guessed." Shi Min patted Xu San with a smile and said, "Don't worry, third uncle." ”
"It's not too early, Childe go back and rest."
"Okay, Third Uncle Xu, you should rest early."
Saying that, the few men in black hurried back, and Gao Shangzhi had been waiting in the house for a long time.
"Your Excellency!" The two black-clothed men pushed open the door, and saw Gao Shangzhi standing in the room, with his back to them, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted.
"Why is it so long?" Gao Shangzhi turned to look at the two people and asked.
"Lord Hui, there was a little accident on the way, so I came back late." The man in black with an injury to his right arm said.
Seeing that he was holding his shoulders, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”
"Didn't you tell the adults when the eighth came back? Just now when the three of us took the man back to the house, we met Xihuahou's son on the way, he chased us all the way, in order not to reveal his whereabouts, his subordinates could only fight with him, but this kid was really powerful, and his subordinates were not opponents. ”
"Just now the eighth came back and only said that you were being followed, and I don't know who is chasing you, it turned out to be Shi Min from Xihua Houfu, and when you meet him, it's no wonder that the two of you can't be the enemy." Gao Shangzhi didn't seem surprised that the two of them lost to Shi Min, and asked, "Then how did you two get out?" ”
"The two of us fought with him for dozens of rounds, and we didn't have the upper hand at all, and it happened that the people from the patrol battalion arrived, and his subordinates took advantage of his unpreparedness, sprinkled a handful of lime powder, and then took the opportunity to escape, otherwise it was really possible to be caught by him."
"Patrol battalion?" Gao Shangzhi asked with a frown.
"That's right, it's the patrol battalion." The man in black looked at Gao Shangzhi's face a little badly, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
"Oops, King Qing will soon know that the people who captured his men are in this city." Gao Shangzhi's face was solemn, and he asked the two again: "Did you go back here directly after you got out?" ”
"Don't worry, the two of us walked in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion after getting out, and we went around to make sure that no one was following us, so we went back here."
Hearing this, Gao Shang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, even if Shi Zun knew that the people who captured his subordinates on Wolong Mountain were already in Yecheng, but Yecheng was so big, it was really not so easy to find a few people who were hiding.
The two black-clothed men saw that Gao Shangzhi's face was a little wrong, and hurriedly said: "My lord, it is all the incompetence of the subordinates, so that Shi Min and the patrol battalion know about our existence. ”
"Forget it, this matter is destined, people are not as good as heaven, I can't complain about you, our secret room will definitely be discovered by the patrol battalion, and you can only be more careful in the future." Gao Shangzhi stroked his beard and said helplessly.
"Yes!"
"Alright, let's go over, Your Highness should be there soon." Gao Shangzhi said, preparing to go out.
The two hurriedly got up, and the suddenly injured man snorted: "Ah! ”
Gao Shangzhi turned around and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" The injury is so bad? ”
The man gasped for breath and endured the pain and said, "My subordinates are incompetent, I'm afraid that my right arm was broken by Shi Min." ”
Gao Shangzhi gasped and said, "Then I won't send you out in the near future, so let's give birth to it, you go back to the secret room in the house first, and ask Mr. Zhu to treat you." ”
"Thank you, sir!" The man in black covered his right arm and walked away slowly.
Gao Shangzhi walked out of the house with another person, and after walking a few steps, he saw a person wearing a black cloak, standing there, and Gao Shangzhi's subordinates were subconsciously preparing to make a move, but they were stopped by one of Gao Shangzhi.
I saw Gao Shangzhi respectfully salute and shouted: "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon." ”
The man turned around and took off the hat covering his head, and said with a smile: "The prime minister has good eyesight, and this king can still be recognized by you when he wears a cloak." ”
"Your Highness's aura is not something that a small cloak can cover." The noble replied calmly.
"Subordinates, see His Royal Highness King Ning." When the man in black saw that he noblely called the person in front of him His Royal Highness, he naturally understood that the person in front of him was their real master, Ning Wang Shijian.
"Get up, lead the way, let's go see what Lao Jiu's people can say." Shi Jian said.
"Yes!"
Gao Shang and Shi Jian and the man in black quickly entered a room, which seemed to be ordinary, nothing special, except for a table, a few stools, and a bed.
Gao Shangzhi took out a fire fold, blew it a few times, and then said to Shi Jian: "Your Highness, take it." ”
Shi Jian moved a few steps to the side, only to see Gao Shangzhi walk to the position where Shi Jian was standing just now, groped under the table for a moment, and then pulled his right hand, only to hear a dull sound, Shi Jian forgot to follow the sound, only to see that the wall behind the bed had been opened, Gao Shangzhi stood up and said to Shi Jian: "Your Highness, please inside." ”
Shi Jian nodded with satisfaction and said to Gao Shangzhi: "Lead the way ahead." ”
Gao Shangzhi nodded slightly, and walked into the entrance of the secret room first.
Shi Jian followed Gao Shangzhi into the passage of the secret room, oil lamps were lit on both sides of the passage, and Gao Shangzhi, who was walking in front, reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's a little dark here, watch out for the steps under your feet." ”
"Don't worry, this king can see it, how long will it take to arrive?"
The man in black who walked last came in, closed the door of the secret passage, and followed.
Gao Shangzhi didn't answer Shi Jian, just walked in front, suddenly stopped at a corner, looked back at Shi Jian, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's here." ”
