Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"Will it be like this? What do you mean? Will all horses be drugged this afternoon? Xiao Qixin's face suddenly realized and then an expression of disbelief.

Xie Lingxu brushed the broken hair stuck to his face, "Hmm." You think it's impossible? ”

"Not really, it's just ...... Why? And, why is your horse going crazy now? It looks like an accident. ”

"I guess the perpetrator is testing the drug on Bai Qiu."

"Test? Why ......"

"Why is it just on Bai Qiu? Why did I just catch up? Xie Lingxu sighed, "That's not easy, to ensure that your horses can go crazy without accident in the afternoon, you must test the amount of medicine, you can't just try those fierce horses you want to use." If you want to get drugged, of course, you have to get off the horse that is usually useless, such as Bai Qiu, an inferior horse that pulls goods, basically there will be no horse racers to ride, I think the bad guy is planning to find a time to let Bai Qiu run by himself with the goods, to see if it will keep running down the cliff. As for how I just got involved in this, because I'm back! I can meet every opportunity. ”

Thinking that there are so many horses in the stable, I just took a fancy to the one who was drugged, and the life of this broom star is gone, and it is estimated that the person who committed the crime is also very depressed now!

"Someone wants to harm the Stygian?" A hint of murderous aura flashed across the corners of Xiao Qixin's eyes.

"To be precise, I want to harm the emperor. With the skills of your Underworld Army, it is easy to deal with a crazy horse, and this small situation can't hurt you, but the emperor...... You know him as a person...... The ability is a bit like that, it is impossible for him to save himself, and if others save him, it is estimated that there is no chance, so this is clearly aimed at the emperor. ”

"The owner of the horse farm is planning to rebel, what should I do, do you want to be arrested and interrogated now?"

Xie Lingxu waved his hand, "No, I don't think a horse farm owner wants to be the perpetrator, unless he has another identity, or there is a more hidden mastermind behind the scenes." But in fact, I think this boss is more like a scapegoat, and when something happens, the horse farm will be searched, and the people behind the scenes will be doing things here, and it will be easy to accuse the people in the horse farm. ”

"Well, then who do you think will be the one who drugged?"

"Isn't there a guy who said before the horse race that he didn't have to go to the afternoon Marseille at all?"

Xiao Qixin was taken aback: "King Shang? ”

"I can't think of anyone else but him. Eh...... Isn't it that the people in the palace have very good acting skills? Cry when you say you cry, laugh when you laugh, and don't hesitate to fake it when it's critical? ”

Xiao Qixin smiled "hehe": "Fortunately, our underworld army is either training or fighting all day long, so we don't need to look at the masks of these old foxes to pollute our hearts." ”

Xiao Qixin snorted, "Then what should we do now?" You can't go to the king of business, can you? ”

"No, we don't have evidence. Moreover, even if there is, most of this matter can only be turned a blind eye, after all, we don't know how hard the backstage of the king of Shang is, and those who dare to attack the emperor directly are probably not easy to deal with. ”

"He...... Then I'll go tell the boss first and escort the emperor back to the palace. ”

Xie Lingxu nodded, looked at Xiao Qixin's distant back, and turned his head to glance at the Shang King who was surrounded by a group of flowery concubines. He casually picked up the wine glass next to him and took a sip, raised his eyes to see Lingxu's gaze, and smiled at her. Xie Lingxu withdrew his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable.

"It's okay, it's just a horse, how can anyone harm me?" The emperor said to Xiao Qixin, who came to dissuade him, with a calm and breezy face.

"But Your Majesty, there has been an accident in the morning, so it's best not to get involved."

Xie Lingxu walked to the emperor's side and saw that he still didn't want to cancel the afternoon Marseille

"Where there are so many accidents, I won't have an accident."

Xie Lingxu's expression was solemn, "Your Majesty, what Xiao Qixin said is right, you still don't take unnecessary risks." ”

"It's okay, isn't itβ€”"

"If someone wants to harm you, can't you grow a little heart!" I don't know why he is so obsessed, Xie Lingxu's eyes were a little angry, and his tone improved a lot.

"Butβ€”"

"I said, Your Majesty, if you don't die or be unwilling, a three-year-old child, you have to be injured a little bit before you give up."

The emperor looked surprised, "Ling, you-"

"What are you? Forget it, I can't stop you if you have to die. Xie Lingxu didn't bother to persuade him, so he unscrewed the lid of the pot and poured saliva.

"You...... Do you really care about my safety? ”

"Poof-" Xie Lingxu was taken aback, and the water he had just put in his mouth couldn't help but squirt out.

"Nonsense, why do you have so many eyes in your heart, Your Majesty!" He frowned and walked away.

King You, who was standing with his hands on the side, glanced at the back of Xie Lingxu, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the emperor bowed his head and was silent, and his heart sank secretly.

Before leaving, Xie Lingxu slipped to the stables to look at the white horse with his head down and grazing, and rubbed his right hand on the back of his horse and rubbed it gently.

When I looked at it in the morning, I felt that I had a sense of being connected with Bai Qiu, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy between people and horses.

Xie Lingxu suddenly remembered that it seemed that King You had saved him just now, should he thank him? However, his cold face flashed in his mind, and he thought that he should forget it, his life is like an ant, and others are just raising their hands, and saying thank you is like a sea of deep kindness.

Standing by the side of the carriage, Xie Lingxu saw the king in front of him raise his feet and step on the steps, and said without emotion for a long time, "Thank you for what happened just now...... The King of You. ”

The latter lifted half of her feet and hung on the ground, and turned her head to say something, but saw that she had walked forward without looking back.

Xie Lingxu told the emperor that he would not have a free ride in violation of the rules. The boss knew that the accident in the morning was the responsibility of the horse farm, so he was embarrassed to ask for money, so he gave a horse to this girl with a black face.

The speed of the road was very slow, bouncing up and down on the horse's back, Xie Lingxu put aside his shaky strength and thought about his thoughts.

The drugging of horses was an unsophisticated modus operandi, and the whole plan seemed hasty and impatient, and if it were a deliberate attempt by someone with a will, the sudden plan would have seemed like a temporary idea. However, the open and secret battles of the powerful in the palace generally do not directly carry out assassination in the public, after all, the possibility of identity exposure is very high, if all the horse racers suffer today, only the king of Shang just twisted his foot, and the fool will not not suspect him. Why do you want to do this at any cost? Unless, the secret conspiracy is revealed, so you have to cut through the mess quickly? Conspiracy...... Homicide case...... Xie Lingxu's mind flashed.

"Lingxu, what are you thinking?" Chu Xiu asked with a blank eye in the sun.

"Nothing...... How long will it take? ”

"It's early, eh...... Why don't you sit in a cheap carriage and go out to ride a horse and bask in the sun! ”

Xie Lingxu glanced at Chu Xiu, thinking to himself how embarrassing it was to sit across from a stupid man and an ice cube, do you know!
