Chapter 22 Red Dust is Demonic [Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation]
In the imperial study, King Qianwang frowned and pondered.
Suddenly, a strong hurricane swept towards the imperial study, sweeping countless dead leaves into the study.
King Qian's eyes opened slightly, but he saw a strange figure on the wall.
"What are the results of the investigation?" asked King Qian, in a low voice.
Shout!
A black scroll with a metallic luster appeared out of thin air on the Dry King's desk.
Immediately afterwards, the black shadow reflected on the wall gradually merged with the shadow furnace of the Dry King, which was extremely weird.
King Qianxin casually opened the black secret scroll and deciphered the mystery in it.
As he deciphered the more runes and contents, the more solemn the expression on his face became.
After King Qianwang completely deciphered the contents of the black scroll, a wisp of flame suddenly burned from his fingertips, instantly incinerating and disintegrating the black scroll, turning it into powder and dispersing.
He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.
Who is the enemy hidden in the darkness, who can assassinate Jiang Bo so silently, and without leaving the slightest trace, such an assassination method is too rebellious.
What exactly was the purpose of the enemy's assassination of Jiang Bo?
Is it the revenge of his enemies from his former battles?
Or is there another reason?
And Jiang Bo's body was still found by the patrolling guards near the perimeter of the Qianjiang Palace, is this a provocation to declare war against him?
Suddenly, King Qianwang suddenly remembered the mysterious demon cultist who had been hidden in the palace not long ago.
The demon cultist sneaked into the palace and actually had thoughts about the bronze altar and ancestral tomb of the Qianjiang royal family.
Although the demon cultist did not succeed in the end, and was severely injured by Qin Wufeng and escaped, could it be that he assassinated Jiang Bo in order to take revenge on the Qianjiang royal family?
King Qian also felt that it was very likely, because as far as the recent conflict was concerned, except for the strange and mysterious "demon", only the Demon Sect had a conflict with him.
Even the Dawu Dynasty, the former enemy, did not make the slightest move.
But whoever it was, he would not spare the sinner who killed his son.
He closed his eyes in contemplation, his fingers tapping on the tabletop, his brain constantly calculating the incident with his advanced Dao skills.
Eventually, he opened his eyes and shouted to the outside of the imperial study, "Summoning the Fifth Highness to this king." ”
Soon after, a handsome man wrapped in bandages limped into the imperial study.
"See your father's father. Jiang Hao bowed and said.
King Qian glanced at Jiang Hao coldly and said, "Do you know what this king called you here this time?"
Jiang Hao shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
He was originally eating but was inexplicably summoned over, he was already a little confused, and now he wants to figure out the reason why he was summoned by King Qian, how can he know?
If it weren't for this person being King Qian, the monarch of the Qianjiang Dynasty, and his father in this life, Jiang Hao would have directly smashed him in the face with a shoeboard.
"Do you know what this is?" After saying that, King Qianwang took out a piece of gold-inlaid white broken jade out of thin air out of nowhere and presented it in front of Jiang Hao's eyes.
Jiang Hao stared intently at the piece of broken jade for a moment, and suddenly felt a little pity.
It is a pity that this is an extremely rare gem and jade, but now it has been so damaged.
King Qian looked at Jiang Hao with a blank expression, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Could it be that you have even forgotten what your exclusive royal identity jade pendant looks like?"
"Ah?!" Hearing this, Jiang Hao was extremely stunned.
The broken jade in the hands of the emotional king turned out to be his body?!
As soon as the words fell, he saw the Qianwang stretch out his hand, and a pale golden light flew out from his waist and fell into the hands of the Qianwang.
It was the mutilated part of the other half that matched the broken jade.
King Qianwang integrated two pieces of gold-inlaid white jade, merged them into one, and re-transformed them into a finished jade.
Turn decay into magic.
He pinched the piece of gold-inlaid white jade in his hand, stared at Jiang Hao with cold eyes and said, "Do you know where this other piece of broken jade was found?"
Without waiting for Jiang Hao to answer, King Qianwang continued: "Cangmang Mountain. ”
Why does this place name sound familiar?
"A few days ago, a demon sectist invaded the palace with other plans, but was discovered by the patrolling generals, and he was severely damaged, but in the end he was allowed to escape. ”
Cultists?
"And the place where the demon cultists finally disappeared was Cangmang Mountain. King Qianwang said sonorously.
"It so happened that day that you returned from a serious injury, and you fell in front of the gate of the palace and almost died. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Hao suddenly realized, and finally understood what the purpose of King Qian's summoning him was.
Jiang Hao pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "So my father thinks that his son is a disciple of the Demon Sect, or that he has colluded with the Demon Sect, right?"
King Qianwang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Jiang Hao to make things so clear.
"Not bad. The King of God did not deny it.
"And on that day, this king personally observed the injuries on your body, all of which were wounded by blade qi and fist marks, and they were definitely not the so-called mountain and wild spirit beasts in your mouth. ”
Jiang Hao joked: "What's wrong with comparing the people of the Demon Sect to mountain and wild spirit beasts?"
King Qian's brows furrowed, and a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes, "What do you mean?" ”
Literally. Jiang Hao replied lightly.
Immediately afterwards, King Qianwang said: "But according to my investigation, it seems that every time the demon stays in the red dust, there are traces of your footsteps, which is too much of a coincidence. ”
Jiang Hao said: "It's indeed a coincidence, my father was able to learn these news so accurately, probably because someone with a heart deliberately wanted my father to know." ”
When King Qianwang heard this, he didn't know how to continue, because what Jiang Hao said was indeed reasonable and well-founded, and there was no suspicion at all.
But this still can't completely eradicate his suspicion of Jiang Hao.
Because this can only prove that the current evidence cannot prove that Jiang Hao has colluded with the Demon Sect.
As for the demon cultists being able to sneak into Qianjiang City silently, there are only two possibilities at present.
The first is that the demon cultist has a hidden identity in the palace, and the second is that there are people in the palace who collude with him and cooperate with each other.
"There are no demons in Hongchen, all of them are evil in people's hearts, and my father doesn't need to think about it. Jiang Hao looked at King Qian's sad face and added.
King Qianwang was shocked, his son, who had always been inconspicuous, was now able to say such a thing in front of him?!
This poem seems easy-going and simple, but it is a Taoist rhyme that many monks cannot comprehend in their lifetime, and Jiang Hao is only in his early sixteens, so he can say it so lightly, what kind of understanding is this?
However, after all, he instinctively felt a little estranged from Xia He's children, and even rejected and disgusted.
Because of something that he will never forgive in his life.
At the same time, it is also the only unbreakable knot in King Qian's life, perhaps until he dies of old age and turns into the dust of history, that knot will still bind him and turn into nothingness with him.
