Chapter 100: Encirclement and Suppression of Suspects
Luo Feng and the three of them went out for three days in a row, and they returned with fun every day.
"Brother Luo! Even if we can't catch the murderer, we still have to enjoy this last wonderful time! Gu Xiaodong used all the words that Luo Feng said during the day.
Luo Feng and Qi Yan snuggled up to each other and walked on the way back to the Tanji Pavilion. Gu Xiaodong's words only made the sweet smile on the lips of the two deeper.
There are still five days left before the deadline given by the Queen of Heaven, but the murderer has not shown up.
Dongfang Xuyu has already ordered someone to start sorting out the secret documents and files of the Tanji Pavilion. If the Exploration Pavilion is forced to close its doors, they will have to store and seal these things to prevent them from being stolen by outlaws.
Dongfang Xuyu heard that Luo Feng and the three of them had returned to the Tanji Pavilion, he stood in the courtyard, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said secretly in his heart: "Xuehua! I'm sorry! I may not be able to keep the Exploration Pavilion! ”
On the cold pavilion of the palace, the Queen of Heaven and Mu Yuhua stood there looking at the direction of the Tanji Pavilion.
"There are five days left, and Luo Feng may have to disappoint me!" The queen sighed softly.
"Maybe someone took advantage of your deadline and didn't want to do it!" Master Mu reminded.
"So what? This has become an unchangeable fact! The diva's hand rested on the railing.
"You're not going to kill him, are you?" Although Master Mu knew that he shouldn't say much, he still asked.
"Even if I don't kill him! Will those people let him go? It's better to let him die for some value! A sneer appeared on the queen's lips.
Master Mu's heart suddenly felt cold. He looked at the back of the queen of heaven, and only felt as if he was much more distant.
On the second day, Luo Feng and the three of them went to play as usual. While they were resting on the mountain, a little boy came over and handed Luo Feng a letter slip.
As soon as Luo Feng took the letter from the letter, the boy ran away. Luo Feng opened the letter and looked at it, and there was only a line of beautiful small words on it: "Escape and die, make plans early!" ”
Qi Yan and Gu Xiaodong came up to take a look, and their hearts were half cold. This must be someone in the palace who knew something in advance! He sent a messenger to them.
"Brother Luo! You and your wife should run away! Otherwise, it may be too late! "Gu Xiaodong is already aware of the potential danger.
Luo Feng took out the fire fold and burned the letter slip. He watched the bright flames flash and then turn into ashes and fall, and his heart was a little gloomy.
"Luo Feng! Let's go! Qi Yan persuaded. She has been very happy with Luo Feng these days, so she feels that this happy time can't end like this. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as the two of them are together.
"Wait!" Luo Feng remembered Li Wen's words. Doesn't he have a good idea?
Luo Feng and the three of them stayed on the mountain for a few more hours, and when they came down the mountain, it was already sunset. There are no people in the mountains, and there is no sound of birds and beasts.
Luo Feng and the three of them were walking silently, and suddenly three figures flashed, and the sword light had arrived.
Luo Feng and the three dodged the attack and began to draw their swords to meet them. The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, who was hiding in the grass, ordered one of his men to return and report it, and he led his men to begin a siege on the three black-clad assassins.
The battle was fierce, two of the opposing sides were wounded, and eight of the Praetorian Guards were killed. Gu Xiaodong and the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard also hung up their colors.
At this time, Lu Nan led people out of the woods and joined the battle.
The three men in black saw that the other party had come to help again, and one of them shouted, "Zixin! We've been tricked! Withdraw! ”
When Luo Feng and the others heard this, where were they willing to let them escape easily? However, the three of them are flexible, and it is really not easy to capture them alive.
Qi Yan couldn't show her body in front of everyone, so they could only chase the three to a cliff.
"You can't escape! Don't be tied yet! The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard shouted with his sword pointed at the three of them. His subordinates took out their bows and arrows on their backs, and they could shoot the people on the cliff with just an order from the deputy commander!
"Catch it alive!" Luo Feng and Gu Xiaodong held their swords and pressed towards the three of them.
The three black-clothed men looked behind them, gritted their teeth and held their swords and fought with Luo Feng and the others again.
The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard took a pair of bows and arrows from the man next to him, aimed at a man in black and shot an arrow, and the man fell off a cliff after being hit by the arrow.
Lu Nan was also injured, but fortunately, Qi Yan blocked the sword of the man in black with his sword, and Lu Nan escaped from death.
The deputy commander of the forbidden army shot another man in black, who also fell off the cliff.
The last man in black forced Luo Feng and the others back with a sword. The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard gave an order, and more than a dozen arrows rushed towards the man in black. The man in black jumped off the cliff reflexively.
Everyone ran to the cliff to take a look, and the bottom of the cliff was dark and dark, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
"Light the torch! Go to the bottom of the cliff and search for people! The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard gave an order, and everyone rushed to the bottom of the cliff.
Gao Huai briefly bandaged Lu Nan's wounds, and then they also went to the bottom of the cliff.
The flesh and blood of the three corpses under the cliff were blurred, and their faces could no longer be seen.
The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard asked his subordinates to cut down trees and vines to make three stretchers, and carried the three corpses to the palace.
When the queen heard that the murderer had been killed, she and Gonggong Xu came to check outside the imperial study.
Luo Feng and the others hurriedly saluted. The queen of heaven saw that everyone's clothes were stained with blood. Lu Nan, Gu Xiaodong and the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard all hung up the lottery. There are also more than a dozen corpses of the Praetorian Guards and Lu Nan's men, so you can see how tragic the battle was at that time.
"The three of them hurt you like this?" The queen of heaven was displeased.
"Diva! One of these three thieves is Han Zixin, the murderer who assassinated you! The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard surrendered.
"She's dead?" The Queen of Heaven looked at the three bloody corpses suspiciously.
"Yes! But please also ask the queen to check! "Of course, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard knows the procedure for handling the case.
"Spread the palace work!" The queen turned around and entered the imperial study.
Gonggong Xu hurriedly asked the eunuchs around him to pass on the message of the Queen of Heaven. He waited outside the door of the imperial study with everyone.
Upon examination, it was found that one of the three deceased was indeed a woman. Gonggong Xu reported the results of the autopsy to the queen of heaven.
After comparing the information of the female corpse and Han Zixin, the queen announced that the murderer of the assassination in the palace had been punished, and the relevant people would be rewarded tomorrow.
Luo Feng and the three dragged their tired bodies back to the Tanji Pavilion. They were surprised to find that Dongfang Xuyu and the people of the Tanji Pavilion were standing in the courtyard to greet them.
"Big brother! What do you guys do here? Luo Feng gave Dongfang Xu a salute and asked.
"I heard that you have surrounded the murderers! On behalf of Tanji Pavilion, we would like to thank the three of you! Dongfang Xuyu led everyone to salute Luo Feng and the three of them.
"Don't dare!" Luo Feng hurriedly returned the salute.
"That's it! I'm hungry! Gu Xiaodong didn't like this kind of contrived appearance the most.
"We've prepared a feast! Let's feast! Dongfang Xuyu grabbed Luo Feng's arm and walked into the banquet hall.
Everyone sat down in turn. There were also singing and dancing during the banquet, and everyone was happy to eat and drink.
After the banquet, Dongfang Xuyu called Luo Feng to the study alone. Luo Feng's face was flushed with drink. He looked at Dongfang Xuyu and asked, "Big brother, do you think this matter is too strange?" ”
"What's so strange?" Dongfang Xuyu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Luo Feng.
"Why are the Praetorian Guards and Lu Nan ambushing on the mountain at the same time?" Luo Feng took a sip of tea.
"Of course Lu Nan knows that you are luring the enemy! He doesn't want to be robbed of his head by you alone! As for those Praetorian Guards, they were sent by the Queen of Heaven because they were afraid that you would escape! Dongfang Xuyu's analysis is not unreasonable.
"Not really, I don't need so many Praetorian Guards just to look at me! I guess it was Lord Mu who saw through my intentions and suggested the people sent by the Queen of Heaven. Luo Feng rubbed his nose and said.
"Why should he help you? In other words, why did he help the Detective Pavilion? Dongfang Xu said thoughtfully.
