Chapter 60: Take the initiative

Bian Qing heard that Jiang Yin had encountered an assassin before, and he had a general understanding of the situation from Hua Yan, and it didn't take long for him to receive a letter from Hua Yan.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Bian Qing's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"What?"

It was written about the clues about Jiang Qi's disappearance that the two had investigated before, and now everything pointed to Xie Cheng, which surprised him.

Although Jiang Qi has been missing for a long time, this matter is nothing compared to Jiang Guo's annihilation, if no one investigates, they will even think that Jiang Qi is dead.

And now this letter made him can't help but start to re-examine Jiang Qi's trip back then.

Combined with the clues found by the two parties, Bian Qing found that in some official documents on the border, there was information about Jiang Qi's registration.

Although he was registered as an outsider at that time, Bian Qing could somewhat imagine that it was not suitable for him to travel with a high-profile identity at that time.

Looking at Hua Yan's letter, which recorded the time before Jiang Qi's disappearance, Bian Qing followed the place where Jiang Qi traveled all the way to start the investigation.

However, looking at the last place where Jiang Qi appeared, Bian Qing's eyes couldn't help but widen, "That's, the last place he appeared!" ”

This is the last place where Jiang Qi appeared as written on the official document.

This news made Bian Qing's head buzz, he didn't expect it at all, or rather, no one could expect it.

"It turns out that he disappeared here back then, so according to the diplomatic process, this is the only place where he may stay in the end." Bian Qing began to look at the map in the city and study it.

After excluding the eye-catching Imperial Palace, all that remains is the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When he pointed his finger there, even he couldn't believe that Jiang Qi's disappearance was related to Prime Minister Xie Cheng.

For a while, Bian Qing felt that he knew something big, if so, now that Jiang Yin and Xie Cheng are so close, could it be that Xie Cheng's purpose is ......

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Bian Qing quickly sorted out his clothes and arranged for a henchman to go out with him.

"I didn't expect that the incident back then was related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Yin, don't you want to have an accident now!" Bian Qing prayed silently as he walked.

As soon as he left the Prince's Mansion, he saw the guards clasping their fists outside and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Gongzi Xie of the Prime Minister's Mansion asks to see you." ”

Hearing Xie Cheng's visit, Bian Qing couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, it was actually at this time, could it be that he had already found out?

Before he could recover his strength, Xie Cheng had already come to the front of him, bowed slightly, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Xie Cheng was more respectful than usual, but not like him.

The simple sentence accentuated the tone, as if it was hinting or emphasizing something, but in Bian Qing's view, that sentence was a warning.

Although he didn't know his intentions, but now that he had mastered his secret, he naturally had to tell Jiang Yin as soon as possible.

"This prince has something important to do, so he won't accompany him, please!" Bian Qing politely stretched out his hand and motioned for him to leave.

Xie Cheng bowed slightly, his narrow eyes narrowed, "Coincidentally, I also have important matters that I want to discuss with the prince, can I make it convenient?" ”

The guard beside him began to be anxious, "Gongzi Xie, how can the prince's urgency be compared to you!" Please also ask Gongzi Xie not to make things difficult again. ”

Xie Cheng's eyes changed, he slowly withdrew his hand, and pressed his left hand on the scabbard at his waist, as if he was about to make a move.

The guards on the side watched his movements, and his right hand was also pressed on the hilt of the knife to prepare, and the air around him began to solidify, and the murderous aura of the two was self-evident, which seemed to indicate the next competition.

Bian Qing looked at the tense posture of the two, and immediately stepped forward to reprimand the guard, "What are you doing?" Stand down for me, he is the son of the prime minister, don't be rude. ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, his right hand holding the hilt of the knife trembled slightly, and he could only let go of his hand unwillingly and stood silently behind Bian Qing.

Xie Cheng also returned to his flat expression, thinking about Bian Qing and nodding his head, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's rude to you." ”

Even though the atmosphere eased down, when Bian Qing looked at his eyes, there was a fierce murderous aura, as if he wanted to stop himself.

"I'm just going out for an hour, and I'll be back soon, if you can wait, this prince can also arrange for someone to entertain."

"No need."

Xie Cheng nodded slightly and smiled indifferently, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going out, I know it below, then I will send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Xie Cheng's compromise made Bian Qing breathe a sigh of relief, so he quickened his pace and walked in the direction of Jiujiang Restaurant.

"Hopefully, it's still too late." Bian Qing prayed silently as he walked.

The figure that gradually moved away, Xie Cheng let out a long sigh, as if he was sighing at Bian Qing's persistence, the cool breeze blew, and the right hand holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help but increase a little bit of strength.

"Bian Qing! Since you insist on going your own way, then I can only warn you. ”

The two walked through the bazaar, looking behind them from time to time, and only after confirming that Xie Cheng did not follow, did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Whew, that's fine, I'm really worried that Xie Cheng will catch up."

The guard looked at the road in front of him and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we are taking a long detour when we walk like this." ”

Bian Qing looked at the road ahead, very calm.

"That's right, we are taking a long detour now, just to let Xie Cheng relax, and come to the door at this time, I'm afraid that what we found out has already been known to him, so be prepared, this detour is to test whether he will follow."

And Xie Cheng didn't appear, which was a good opportunity for Bian Qing, so he began to change his route and walked in the direction of Jiujiang Restaurant.

As the two were about to reach the restaurant, they met a man dressed as an assassin around a corner who blocked their way.

"Who? Get out of the way! The guard stepped forward and waved.

The man didn't speak, but put his hand on the saber at his waist, and the black hood wrapped in his eyes full of murderous intent made him a little more fierce.

Looking at the person in front of him, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and the guard immediately stepped forward and drew his sword to protect Bian Qing behind him.

Looking at each other, the two figures moved at the same time, and the alley was filled with the sound of swords and swords.

After a few rounds, the guards who thought they could easily take down the opponent couldn't help but be surprised, and the assassin in front of him was actually on par with him.

Seeing that the two were in a stalemate, Bian Qing left the alley and headed for the restaurant.

Seeing that the man in black had left, he immediately repelled the guards and turned around to throw a hidden weapon at Bian Qing.

Seeing this, the guard immediately swung his sword to block it, and at this time, the opponent's long sword had already stabbed in.

The "brush" cut the guard's arm.

Seeing that the guards were in their hands, the man in black did not continue to attack, and immediately bypassed the guards, and his body moved, and the long sword stopped Bian Qing.

The sword blade slashed in front of him, which made Bian Qing a little surprised, this person didn't come to kill himself?

The hesitation of the man in black's movements made the guard see the opportunity, clenched the knife in his hand and stabbed forward.

The blade slashed across his face, and the man in black tilted his head slightly, and the blade cut through the strip of cloth that covered his mask.

At the moment of falling, the two looked at Xie Cheng who was exposed in front of them, and were stunned for a moment.
