Chapter 123: He's the Devil

The assassin attacked, Xiao Rui and Du Juan fell into the water with knives, and their lives were unpredictable. After the assassin succeeded, he also jumped into the water and absconded, leaving only Yan Linglong and the four of them.

Bai Yunshan hurriedly went up to the second floor, and immediately knelt down on one knee beside Yan Linglong, shouting, "Princess, are you okay?" ”

Yan Linglong shook her head and said, "I'm fine, but King Xian and Du Juan were injured and fell into the water, so it's troublesome now." ”

At this time, the place where they fell into the water was calm, and the two of them were slashed, and the force of that knife was so great that it was definitely a serious injury, so that even the opportunity to struggle in the water was lost!

Xiao Feng on the side was immediately stunned, his gaze shifted from the lake to Yan Linglong, and then pointed at her with a look of surprise and surprise.

Yan Linglong didn't look like a disguise, and said, "I'm sorry, in fact, I'm Princess Linglong, and it's the cuckoo who just fell into the water!" When I came to your country, I deliberately asked her to pretend to be me for safety. Your Majesty and King Xian both knew about this matter, and they did not inform His Royal Highness King Duan, also for the sake of secrecy, and asked His Highness not to mind the concealment. ”

Xiao Feng slapped his forehead and said, "No wonder the seventh brother said that the finch is a phoenix, I was confused, but now I understand that it was me Meng Lang just now." But what now? The life and death of the seventh brother and the cuckoo girl are uncertain, what should we do? I'm not familiar with water, so I can't go down and catch him! ”

He was in a hurry.

Yan Linglong said: "This matter has reached the current situation, and it is no longer trivial!" Commander Bai, you are agile, and I ask you to immediately go ashore on the Assassin's boat, and go to inform the capital patrol battalion and the Marquis of Zhongyong, and ask them to send someone to search for King Xian and the cuckoo! ”

"No, Your Highness! What if the Assassins went and returned? Bai Yunshan immediately refused.

Yan Linglong roared: "Do as ordered!" The Assassin thought I was dead, that I had escaped, that there was no chance of returning, and that the first priority was to save the King of Salt! Do as Your Highness commands, and go quickly! ”

As soon as Bai Yunshan gritted his teeth, he immediately jumped into the boat and drove the boat away quickly.

Yan Linglong looked at Xiao Feng and said, "We are waiting here, marking with a pleasure boat, and the good personnel will come to the water to look for them." ”

Peony looked at the calm lake, a little sad, and said: "I'm afraid that when someone comes, His Highness will be more and less auspicious, and he is not familiar with water." ”

Xiao Feng nodded, Xiao Rui lived in his house in the early years, and it was indeed impassable, and at this time, he fell into the water, and only a few bubbles bubbled, but he was afraid that he had sunk to the bottom.

"Hey..."Yan Linglong sighed and gently patted Peony's shoulder to tell her not to be too sad.

Speaking of Jia Xu, after Xiao Rui and his party left the courtyard, they deliberately notified the guards and forbidden anyone to go out on the grounds of search, and delayed for half an hour before they were released.

His purpose in doing so was to provide time difference for the planning to take place. And he stayed in the other courtyard and was not idle, and sent decent people to secretly monitor Xiao Feng's servants and Xiao Lie.

If Xiao Feng has a problem and is really hidden, then he will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely send someone to inform Cao Lu, and his henchman is the best person to report the news.

As for Xiao Lie, he is also among the doubtful candidates.

As Jia Xu expected, Xiao Feng's servant secretly left the courtyard, but what Jia Xu didn't expect was that Xiao Feng's servant didn't go to Cao Lu, but sneaked into the Ming Palace!

Prince Xiao Yuan, the fifth son of the emperor!

It turned out to be him who bought Xiao Feng's henchman servant!

It was a bit unexpected for Jia Xu, but if you think about it, it is reasonable, because Xiao Feng participated in the alliance talks throughout the whole process, and his servants were able to find out the time gap between the forbidden army and the location of the Dayan Mission, and could provide information to the assassins. That Xiao Feng suddenly asked Xiao Rui to be a matchmaker, and it was also possible that this servant pointed out.

In this way, Xiao Feng has no problem, is Xiao Rui and Jia Xu suspicious and guessed wrong?

Soon after Xiao Feng's servant entered the Ming Palace, he secretly returned to the other courtyard, and as for what was going on in the Ming Palace, Jia Xu didn't know.

I have to say that it was a good idea for the assassins to hide in the palace, and it was basically foolproof, and the Dongchang and the patrol battalion did not dare to enter the prince's palace to search.

Speaking of this Ming King Xiao Yuan, he and Xiao Rui have a lot of grievances, the last time the matter of the Inner Court Division, Xiao Yuan secretly knifed, fortunately Xiao Rui was smart, but he was punished by Emperor Xia to kneel for two hours, and finally fainted and lost face.

Now coupled with the collusion with the assassins of the Great Zhao Kingdom, this grievance is no longer a big deal.

Jia Xu couldn't monitor the Ming Palace, and he didn't know if Cao Lu would assassinate him when he learned that Xiao Rui and Yan Linglong were out on a cruise, but according to the time calculation, His Royal Highness King Xian's performance had already begun.

So where is Xiao Rui at this time?

Was he really stabbed?

Of course not!

At this time, he had already dived into a reed, revealing his face.

In the past, Xiao Rui couldn't swim, but Xiao Rui who crossed would, Xiao Feng didn't know this secret, and thought Xiao Rui was a landlubber.

Beside him, there was also the cuckoo, which was also familiar with the nature of the water, and she also showed her head. Although the two were stabbed, they had hard armor hidden in their clothes, and they deliberately made a show.

What's even more exciting is not far away, those assassins actually came out of their heads, and the five-grade master led by them turned out to be Zhuge Yuanba.

"Xiao Rui, you owe me two favors, and this time it's a big favor." Zhuge Yuanba said with a smile, the four people behind him were the soldiers of the Iron Dragoon.

Xiao Rui really made a bloody investment this time, and his favor was sprinkled outward.

Xiao Rui said: "Thank you Zhuge seniors, just let me know if you have something in the future." ”

Zhuge Yuanba smiled with satisfaction: "This is about the same." However, that white commander's martial arts are indeed good, and I almost couldn't hold back, so I used seven successful powers. ”

"Ahem..."Xiao Rui was choked, Nima, if you don't brag, you can die. But looking at the admiring gazes of the four Iron Dragon Knights, Xiao Rui couldn't help but dare not complain.

In autumn, the lake has become cold, Xiao Rui didn't want to stay for a long time, so he said to Zhuge Yuanba: "Zhuge senior, I have to trouble you to stay here, once Cao Lu appears, no matter how killed, you must protect Yan Linglong's safety." ”

"Hurry up and take someone away, don't freeze the little girl." Zhuge Yuanba waved his hand and let Xiao Rui go first.

Xiao Rui and the cuckoo walked through the reeds and went ashore.

He took the cuckoo to find Wei Guang, who had been waiting on the shore for a long time, and the two changed their clothes in the carriage, and then Wei Guang drove away from Moon Lake.

Da Da...

Wei Guang drove to a secluded house.

Xiao Rui and Du Juan got out of the carriage, and after entering, they saw Jia Xu waiting in front of the door.

Xiao Rui looked at Jia Xu with a smile on his face, and it seemed that he had found something, so he said to Du Juan: "You go to rest first, I will call you if there is something." ”

"Yes!" The cuckoo did not dare to refuse, and respectfully went to the next room to rest.

Xiao Rui invited Jia Xu into the house and asked, "Sir, what did you find?" ”

Jia Xu told Xiao Feng about following Xiao Feng's servant and seeing him enter the Ming Palace, Xiao Rui was shocked when he heard it: "So, Xiao Feng is fine, Xiao Yuan bought his servant?" ”

Jia Xu said: "It seems to be the case now, but whether Xiao Feng has any problems depends on whether His Highness and Du Juan will do it after they fall into the water." ”

"We deliberately acted in this play, let Zhuge Yuanba pretend to be Cao Lu assassinated, and deliberately assassinated His Highness and Du Juan and fled after that, just to let Xiao Feng know that the assassin is not Cao Lu, because Cao Lu knows who the real princess is. If he has a problem, he will try his best to contact Cao Lu, after all, this opportunity is rare! Baiyun Mountain is gone, only one peony is left, and so much foreshadowing has been set up in front of him, suggesting that if he doesn't assassinate again, the alliance will be completed in the next five days, and there will be no more chances. Jia Xu laughed.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "And if Xiao Feng really has no problem, he doesn't know Cao Lu, then when Cao Lu wants to assassinate, the patrol battalion has already surrounded Moon Lake, and Wei Guang has also spread the news of the assassination of me and Princess Linglong, so he won't take any risks." That means that Xiao Feng has no problem, and the problem is his servant, as well as Xiao Yuan! ”

Jia Xu frowned, but said, "Actually, there is another possibility!" ”

"What is possible?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu said: "That is, Xiao Feng has a problem, but he knows that his henchmen were bought by Xiao Yuan, so he deliberately let Xiao Yuan collude with Cao Lu and kill people with a knife!" ”

"This..."Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "If this is the case, then my fourth brother is even more cunning and smart than he imagined!" Oh, by the way, his servant is the key, and if you catch him, you should be able to ask something! ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled: "I have already arranged for Wei Guang, and after he spreads the news, I will control this person." ”

Xiao Rui arched his hand and said: "Mr. is like a god, everything is under control." Next, with my father joining, I believe it will be even more exciting! ”

Why did Jia Xu say that he wanted to play a wonderful game, how could it be wonderful without Xia Huang's participation?

Jia Xu speculated that Dongchang or Jinyiwei had already had important clues about the assassins, why they were not arrested, just to test, whether it was to test Xiao Rui or other princes, it was Emperor Xia's bureau.

So, wouldn't it be a lot of fun to let Emperor Xia, who was watching the play, also enter the game to play?

Regardless of whether he could guess the truth or not, once he entered the game, as the Lord of Great Xia, he would have to set an example.

There is no way, who called Xiao Rui not enough manpower, if he wants to kill Cao Lu, he can only use external force, and Emperor Xia is the biggest external force.

I believe that with his serious injuries and falling into the water, his life and death are unknown, it should make Emperor Xia angry and investigate thoroughly.

Of course, in order to play this big show, Xiao Rui owes Zhuge Yuanba a special favor, he helped deceive Emperor Xia, once it is leaked, he will not escape the involvement, when Xiao Rui went to him for help last night, he went through countless struggles in his heart before he spoke, but he didn't expect Zhuge Yuanba to agree immediately.

Xiao Rui was so frightened that he wrapped his clothes, and he was really worried about whether Zhuge Yuanba had other plans and coveted Xiao Rui's youthful spirit.

Naturally, this is a joke, but Zhuge Yuanba's attempt made Xiao Rui unable to figure it out.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

It is said that Commander Bai broke into the patrol camp and reported the situation.

Knowing that His Royal Highness King Xian had been attacked by assassins and fell into the water, his life and death were unknown, and the patrol battalion was shocked, a deputy commander immediately led people to search and rescue in person, and sent someone to inform Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Coincidentally, Zhang Jinfu had just come out of the palace, and when he heard this, his complexion changed greatly, and he immediately turned around and entered the palace to face the saint.

Looking at the Marquis Zhongyong who came back in a hurry, Emperor Xia asked curiously, "Why are you back again?" ”

Zhang Jinfu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, as soon as Weichen left the palace, he received a report from the patrol battalion, saying that King Xian accompanied Princess Linglong on a cruise ship and was assassinated by the Great Zhao assassin Cao Lu, King Xian and Princess Linglong fell into the water with knives, and their whereabouts are still unknown!" ”

"Huh?" Emperor Xia stood up suddenly, his face condensed, and he only heard him ask, "What you said is true?" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty!" Zhang Jinfu said.

Emperor Xia immediately shouted: "Send someone to find it quickly!" No matter the cost! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Jinfu led the order.

As soon as Zhang Jinfu left, Emperor Xia suddenly glanced sideways, and was so frightened that Hai Dafu knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"The villain's sins deserve ten thousand deaths, and the villain's sins deserve ten thousand deaths!" Hai Dafu trembled and broke out in a cold sweat.

Emperor Xia's face was expressionless, his pupils were like prison, the terrifying majesty was fierce and hideous, Hai Dafu had rarely seen Emperor Xia angry, he knew the consequences well, so he kowtowed hard, knock knock... There was a few moments of blood on his forehead.

"I handed over the East Factory to you, have you forgotten the duties performed by the East Factory?" Emperor Xia asked.

Hai Dafu shuddered, and hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare to forget, don't dare to forget, the spies of Dongchang have been staring at the Ming Wangfu, since yesterday's assassination failed, Cao Lu has been hiding in the Ming Wangfu and has never gone out, the villain has thousands of instructions, always keep an eye on him, once he has something wrong, immediately put a warning signal, staring at him is also a five-grade master, and he is also a spy master, it is impossible for him to escape." ”

Hai Dafu continued: "The assassins of the Great Qi Kingdom are also under surveillance, unless... Unless it's another assassin, Dongchang hasn't received any news! The villain deserves death......"

"Take Cao Lu! Just ask! Emperor Xia shouted.

"Yes, yes... The villain will go. Hai Dafu knelt and retreated, and his tense heart was slightly relieved.

There was silence in the empty hall, and the eunuch Bingbi also retreated, leaving only Emperor Xia alone.

Who knew that after a while, Emperor Xia seemed to understand and suddenly smiled.

"This little thing actually took advantage of me, and you really deceived me." Emperor Xia picked up the pen and continued to review the folds, without a trace of anger on his face.

As for how he guessed it, no one knows.

If Hai Dafu sees this scene, how will he feel?
