"Let's ......"

A special carrier pigeon flapped its wings and fell in front of Xu Rui's study, and Xu Rui, who had been waiting there, hurriedly picked up the pigeon and took out a note from the bamboo tube on his foot.

"That's what you're talking about?"

Li Kuang, who was on the side, squinted at Xu Rui's movements, frowned and asked.

Xu Rui put the pigeon back into the pigeon cage with one hand, unfolded the note with the other, and said lightly: "Yes, this is the killer feature I said, the only thing I can find to leave now." ”

Li Kuang was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly picked up the pigeon cage to see what was going on.

"Tsk, this pigeon seems to be no different from ordinary pigeons, how can you find a quasi-martial saint who is hiding?"

Xu Rui smiled: "Be careful, this is to leave the carrier pigeon specially bred carefully, to be able to follow the sachet he carries to find his location, it was originally used by this little couple to whisper, you are going to break it, be careful to leave the trouble that comes to you!" ”

Li Kuang's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly put the pigeon cage back in its place, joking, who wants to offend a new martial saint for a pigeon?

And I heard that this martial saint's temper is not very good.

Xu Rui sighed and said: "In fact, leaving the sachet is equivalent to leaving a flaw in himself, which is really a risk for those who need to consolidate the realm, which shows the depth of his feelings for the shadow maid, even more than the worry about his own safety."

To tell you the truth, I should not have used this method to find him at such a time, and if someone took advantage of him and followed the pigeon to his hiding place, the consequences would be terrible.

But I have to figure out something, and I have to ask him to make sure, otherwise we will have no direction. ”

"What the hell are you looking for?"

Li Kuang asked puzzled.

Xu Rui didn't answer, after reading the note in his hand, his face became cloudy, and he turned around and asked Li Kuang, "Did you bring anything you brought?" ”

Li Kuang pointed to a large pile of records on the desk in the study and said: "The records of entering and leaving the capital that Jin Yiwei secretly observed, according to your requirements, all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the past three years have been here. ”

Xu Rui nodded and said: "Quickly check, has anyone left Changxing Mansion in the eighteenth year of Hongwei, at least three months, in the direction of Northern Qi, or used other directions as an excuse to finally arrive in Northern Qi?"

Don't let go of all the dignitaries, especially the people in the palace, including concubines, eunuchs, and even clans and relatives, as long as they meet the requirements, they will all be singled out! ”

Li Kuang was suspicious when he heard this, but when he saw Xu Rui's nervous face, he didn't ask more, and hurriedly came to the pile of records to rummage through.

After a whole pillar of incense, Li Kuang turned over the records, and said to Xu Rui with three records: "There are many powerful people who have left Beijing in the eighteenth year of Hongwei, but they have reached three months, and there are not many related to Northern Qi.

Among them, King Su took over the Northeast Frontier Army and was stationed on the border of Northern Qi for more than three months, four officials of the Ministry of Rites picked up the envoys of Northern Qi and left Beijing for more than three months, and then King Han traveled to Jiangnan for half a year, but the stronghold in the direction of Northern Qi said that they had seen the frame of the suspected King of Han. ”

"King Han...... That's right! ”

Hearing Li Kuang's words, Xu Rui's eyes froze, and he sat down.

"What's wrong with King Han?"

Li Kuang put down the record and asked puzzled.

Xu Rui took out the note he found on the dwarf's table that day from his arms and handed it to Li Kuang, on which it was still the unfinished word, a "horizontal folding hook".

"What does that mean?"

Li Kuanghu took the note suspiciously, he had read this note countless times, and he didn't know what Xu Rui meant by taking it out this time.

Xu Rui said: "This horizontal hook looks like a word B at first glance, but from the perspective of proportion, it is obviously not finished, you add a skimming to this word." ”

Li Kuang was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "It's going to be a nine-character soon...... Ah......h

Li Kuang suddenly exclaimed: "King Han is ranked ninth among the princes?!" ”

Xu Rui nodded: "That's right, I also recently learned that I wanted to leave the person who was a dark chess player, and the grade is not low, I want to find the person who wants to leave to confirm the whereabouts of the dark chess master!" ”

"I see!"

Li Kuang said suddenly: "Do you want to find out the true identity of this person by determining when the dark chess master went out of the capital, and then corroborating each other with Jinyiwei's records?" ”

Xu Rui nodded: "That's right, it's because this matter is so important that I have to take the risk of contacting him in this situation, and his reply to me said that as far as he knows, the dark chess master went to Northern Qi in the eighteenth year of Hongwei."

If the dark chess master is really lurking in Changxing City, then it will take him three months to go back and forth from Changxing to Northern Qi at the earliest, so that King Han's whereabouts will correspond to the information on this note. ”

"King Han is the master of dark chess?"

Li Kuang muttered in disbelief, and then immediately shook his head and said: "No, you already know that this note was deliberately left by the murderer, not by Di Ting, so isn't this clue a fake clue, how can you believe it?"

Also, if you extrapolate from time, the existence of dark chess is at least about twenty years, Han Wang is only forty out of twenty this year, and he was only four years old twenty years ago, how can he be the master of dark chess? ”

Xu Rui sneered: "Although the note was deliberately left by the murderer, the information on it may not be fake. ”

Li Kuang frowned: "What does this mean?" ”

Xu Rui said: "Have you forgotten what happened in the Wentian Pavilion a few days ago?"

The Diting people's stronghold in Babao City was completely destroyed, and in the midst of the famine, they not only calmly chose to hide themselves, but also kept me at the Wentian Pavilion that night to fight back against the murderer.

The most important thing is that the method they use is meticulous and the timing is flawless, and it is perfect.

This kind of means, this kind of execution, can never be a small organization can have, they must have a huge system and mature mechanism behind them as a support, what other organization do you think can do this? ”

Li Kuang analyzed with a solemn expression: "If there is any other organization that can do this, I really can't think of anyone else except dark chess, maybe Jinyiwei and Dongchang can also do it in the Northern Dynasty, but if it is behind enemy lines, it is basically impossible."

However, we Jinyiwei are not vegetarians, and if everything is really like what you said, the Diting Organization has a huge system, then it is impossible for them to lurk under the iceberg all the time.

A powerful organization like Dark Chess will more or less be caught by us for some clues, and there is no reason why this Diting Organization can remain inconspicuous all the time, unless it has only been established for a long time? ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "The organization that has just been established will not be so mature, and you also said that the only organization in the world that can do this is dark chess, so why can't it be dark chess?" ”

"You say it's a dark chess?"

Li Kuang was shocked when he heard this, and said in confusion: "If the Di Ting organization is a secret chess, then who is the murderer?" ”

Xu Rui sneered: "Have you forgotten who is the person who gave me the news?" ”

Li Kuang's eyes widened: "You mean Governor Hong?" ”

As he spoke, his face changed slightly, and he muttered: "If anyone can dispatch a master to solve the stronghold of dark chess, then it is indeed very possible for Governor Hong Dadu, but behind Governor Hong is Xiao Jinwu, if he gets the news of the master of dark chess, why don't he tell you directly, but make it so complicated?"

And judging from the current situation, the murderer must have a strong relationship with the Diting organization, if Diting is a dark chess and the murderer is Hong Dadudu, isn't it that Hong Dadu and Xiao Jinwudu are related to dark chess? ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "This is also a point that I can't figure out, Xiao Jinwu's role in Hu Miao's death is really a bit confusing, it seems that there is him everywhere, and it seems that there is no him anywhere."

Also, I heard that the organization said that they can't directly retaliate against the murderer for some reason, what kind of situation can make them willing to suffer such a dumb loss, at least on the surface?

They wanted to take revenge by my hand, but the news they gave me was very obscure, making it clear that there was a limit to revenge, and it was more like warning the other party through me.

Their own people were killed, and the dens were also ended, they were obviously very powerful, but the revenge came so lightly, which is really incomprehensible. ”

"Could it be that the dark chess is very jealous of the murderer, or that they still have to ask for help?"

Li Kuang asked tentatively.

Xu Rui sneered: "It's closer, but I have to go further, I have a bold idea." ”

"What thoughts?"

Li Kuang asked,

Xu Rui said: "I think the Diting Organization is just a sign of the dark chess tree outside, it is itself a part of the dark chess, and the dark chess is actually not a monolith, this time the calculation of the Diting Organization is also a dark chess!" ”

"What, isn't this a dark chess framed by a dark chess?"

Li Kuang's eyes widened suddenly.

Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly: "You're right, the current situation is complicated, and it is likely that there are internal disagreements in dark chess, which will lead to mutual tilting, this is the most likely result I deduced!"

As for the age of the dark chess master you have been thinking about, maybe the current dark chess master is not the original dark chess master, which is why there is such a serious infighting in dark chess! ”

"But these are your speculations, is there any evidence?"

Li Kuang seemed incredulous and muttered.

Xu Rui opened his mouth and was about to speak, when suddenly Qin Fei rushed into the study in a hurry, and said anxiously: "The handsome man is not good, the East China Sea Sword God set up a ring in front of the Four Elephant Pavilion and humiliated my northern warrior, Xie Lao Er was seriously injured by his disciples in the ring, and his life hung by a thread."

When King Su learned of this, he was furious, and immediately ordered people to go to the northeast border army camp outside the city to order troops, saying that he wanted to break the body of the East China Sea Sword God into ten thousand pieces to avenge Xie Laoer! ”

"What did you say?!"

Xu Rui's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
