Chapter 43: The Death of the Thief

Everyone knew that Prince Duanhui had died three years ago, but Du Miaoyi learned from the detectives in the Pavilion that her husband was still alive. She didn't believe it anyway, she saw her husband buried with her own eyes, how could anyone in this world come back from the dead?

She always felt that someone wanted to make a career in the name of her husband, she didn't want her husband's reputation to be damaged, and she didn't want someone to make trouble in his name, so she sent the inconspicuous Du Wuyan and Xuansan to Jiangnan.

The news that Prince Duanhui was alive came from within the Twin Immortal Sect, and Du Wuyan and Xuan San wanted to enter the Twin Immortal Sect to investigate, and they planned to use the head of King Yunyang as a vote.

At night, there was a curfew in Jiangnan City, and soldiers patrolling could be seen every other street, and the inside and outside of the Yunyang Palace were heavily guarded. Xuansan's martial arts are strong, he avoided the guards and quietly entered the Yunyang Palace, and then answered Du Wuyan into the inner courtyard of the Yunyang Palace.

King Yunyang was stabbed by the disciples of the Twin Immortal Sect, and he was still unconscious for almost a month. It was a concubine in the palace of the capital who took care of him, and the concubine originally thought that it was a good thing to take care of King Yunyang, and thought that he would seek some benefits for himself when he woke up.

But who knew that King Yunyang had been lying in bed half-dead for more than a month, and the doctor had not seen any improvement in going in and out every day, and after a long time, the concubine room was a little impatient.

On weekdays, he threw the scrubbing and care to the little maids, and found an excuse to transfer the guards who were guarding outside the bedroom of King Yunyang to the outside of the courtyard.

When Xuan San and Du Wuyan entered King Yunyang's bedroom, the concubine had just come out of the house, leaving two little maids to take care of King Yunyang.

When the two little maids saw that the concubine's room was gone, they also hid and were lazy. In this way, there is only the sleeping Yunyang King in the room of Nuoda, and he will be slaughtered at will at any time.

Xuan San knew that King Yunyang was Du Wuyan's enemy, and he was thinking about killing him with his own hands all the time to avenge his relatives. After knocking the two little maids unconscious, he went outside to guard, and handed over the head of King Yunyang to Du Wuyan.

Du Wuyan looked at King Yunyang with an indifferent face, that face appeared countless times in his dreams, and every time he tried his best to kill him, but every time he failed. This time, he will never let the opportunity slip away again, what he can't do in his dreams, he must do now.

It's a pity that this thief was so lucky that he couldn't even feel the pain of death. The opportunity must not be missed, Du Wuyan did not hesitate any longer, his hand rose and fell, and the head and body of King Yunyang were separated, leaving a touch of scarlet on the bed tent.

Seeing that Du Wuyan's revenge was avenged, Xuan San immediately found a box and put King Yunyang's head in it. When the two were about to leave, the concubine who had left earlier came back for some reason, and when she saw the headless corpse on the bed, she screamed in fright and fainted.

The guards guarding outside the courtyard heard the screams and ran to the dormitory, blocking Du Wuyan and Xuan San's way, and Du Wuyan and Xuan San could only find a place to hide in the house.

After the guards rushed into the dormitory, they saw that King Yunyang had been beheaded, and everyone became bloodless. They never thought that someone would take the life of King Yunyang under their noses, and when King Yunyang died, all of them would be buried with him.

The leader immediately stepped forward to check and found that King Yunyang's body was still warm, indicating that the murderer had not gone far.

"Brothers, the assassin must still be in the palace, intensify the search, and we must find out the murderer of the prince."

The guards immediately complied.

Seeing that a guard was about to search the hiding place of Du Wuyan and Xuan San, a familiar voice suddenly came from inside the house. Du Wuyan and Xuan San both recognized the owner of this voice, he was Qingquan, the confidant of King Yunyang.

Before they entered the palace, they deliberately inquired that Qingquan had gone to Bozhou, so they took this opportunity to sneak in. Xuansan had fought against Qingquan before, and Qingquan's martial arts were even higher than him. If he was the only one now, maybe he would be able to get away with it, but with one more Du Wuyan, he was not sure at all.

Qingquan saw that his master had been killed and vowed to avenge him with his own hands. He first concealed the news of the murder of King Yunyang and ordered people to search everywhere for the whereabouts of the murderer. In order to be able to send the head of King Yunyang out smoothly, Du Wuyan and Xuan San discussed and decided that Xuan San would come forward to lead the Qingquan away, and Du Wuyan would take the head out of the house.

Due to the urgency of the situation, the two only discussed it slightly and began to act. As soon as Xuan San appeared, he was bumped into by Qingquan, and in order to leave enough time for Du Wuyan to escape, he desperately fought with Qingquan.

Qingquan saw that the murderer of his master finally appeared, and thought that he must take him down to avenge his master. The two of them shot extremely fast, and the other guards of the palace could barely get close.

Qingquan saw that Xuan San was delaying time, and immediately understood, and he shouted at the guards: "You fools, there must be more than one murderer, don't hurry up and arrest people." ”

Xuan San saw that the situation was not right, no longer entangled with Qingquan, took out a smoke bomb from his arms and threw it over, and then took advantage of Qingquan's failure to react, and fled with a smoke. On the other side, Du Wuyan fled to the courtyard wall of Yunyang Palace, holding the box under the cover of Xuan San, and was discovered when he was about to climb over the wall.

"Come on, the assassin has been found."

As the guards who found him yelled, Du Wuyan was immediately surrounded. Seeing that it was impossible to escape, Du Wuyan could only draw his sword and fight with them. But he didn't practice martial arts for a long time, and his martial arts were only a little better than ordinary martial artists, and the guards of the Shangwang Mansion soon fell behind.

Seeing that he was about to be caught, fortunately, Xuan San arrived, and he quickly eliminated the few guards closest to them, and then escaped with Du Wuyan.

Du Wuyan and Xuan San escaped with the head of King Yunyang, and Qingquan could no longer hide the news that King Yunyang was dead. He informed Jiang Weiyi, the general soldier of Yunzhou, about this, and when Jiang Weiyi learned that King Yunyang was killed, his face suddenly changed greatly: "Qing Guard, aren't you joking with the old man?" ”

Qingquan's face was very ugly, "Does Mr. Jiang think I will joke about the life and death of the prince?" ”

Jiang Weiyi knew that he wouldn't, but this happened too suddenly, and the thugs of the Twin Immortal Sect who caused King Yunyang to be seriously injured and unconscious had not yet been caught, and now he learned that King Yunyang had been killed. In this case, how can he deal with the regent?

"Qing Guard, do you know who the murderer of the prince is?"

Qingquan shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Jiang Weiyi can understand that King Yunyang has made countless enemies over the years, and many people want to take his life, but in this way, it is so difficult to find the murderer.

Just when he was at a loss, Qingquan spoke again: "I have fought with one of your murderers, and I am somewhat familiar with the way of martial arts, so I should be from the capital." The other person has mediocre martial arts, not like a person who has practiced martial arts all year round. ”

Jiang Weiyi listened to it and said: "Since the Qing guards have taken pictures of the murderer, it will be much easier, you can ask the painter to draw the figures and appearance of those two people and post them in the city." The old man sent troops to closely guard the exits of the four city gates, and then sent people to search in the city, even if Jiangnan City was turned upside down, the murderer would be found out. ”

There are ready-made painters in Yunyang Palace, Qingquan describes the appearance of the murderer he saw, and then the painter paints, and after repairing and changing it several times, it finally conforms to the appearance of the murderer he saw.

However, since the murderer was wearing a night suit and only the eyes were exposed on his face, it was really difficult to find someone according to such a portrait.
