Chapter 711: Hidden Murder
It's been a long time since something like this happened.
There seemed to be ice condensation in his deep eyes, and the corners of Nalan Ye's lips hooked, bringing out a touch of dangerous coldness, and said loudly: "The seriousness of the matter, everyone must know it." If this matter spreads, no one will be able to escape the investigation, and the same will be true of this king. ”
Xu Wei's face was solemn and he didn't speak, He Changlong cried bitterly and said, "Lord, lord...... Help me! ”
"No one is allowed to leak this matter, just according to what the princess said, check it first! Check it out! Whoever it is, if it is known to the king, he will not be spared, and within three days, the result must be ascertained. ”
Leaving the Sifang Pavilion, Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan would not go to the Sacrifice Heaven Square to join in the fun, and returned directly to the Chu Palace.
In just a moment, the eyes and ears of all the Dark Night Halls in the capital have been dispatched to secretly investigate and search for all suspicious news. Restaurants, inns, tea shops, green houses, gambling houses, these are the key places to investigate, and for a while, all the members of the Dark Night Hall were cast a shadow in their hearts, and they didn't know what big things were going to happen.
The bustle in the Sacrificial Square has not been affected by this incident at this moment, and hundreds of people and onlookers are still immersed in the bustle. According to yesterday's winnings, the casino has taken advantage of the situation to introduce new betting odds, and the current winning more than 60 people can still continue to bet, but the odds have changed from the original.
On the three-story mahogany high-rise, Nangong Wan'er sat on the main seat, smiling, luxurious and elegant. The candidate who was watched by her below was only swept away by her eyes, and a smiling autumn wave immediately became excited, and he couldn't help himself. But no one could see that her mood and complexion were completely different, not to mention that there was no expectation and joy, but was filled with strong resentment and disgust.
"Princess ......"
Mei'er went up the stairs, stepped forward quickly, and whispered in Nangong Wan'er's ear: "Huang Xiucai's odds have ranked first, surpassing Wang Gongzi, and the gambling house has also set special odds for him." If Huang Xiucai wins, one will pay two! If he loses, he loses 10! Right now...... Now there are many people who are betting on Huang Xiucai, and they all buy him to win. ”
Silver Tooth suddenly clenched, Nangong Wan'er frowned deeply, and her voice was full of resentment: "Damn, this damn stinky man!" Actually...... Hongu won't let you go! ”
Cursing fiercely, after a while, Nangong Wan'er regained her composure, and her eyes became cold: "Mei'er, go buy 100,000 taels, Huang Guan loses!" ”
Subconsciously about to agree, Mei'er reacted, and after a pause, she sneered: "Princess, the silver here for the slave maid...... Already ......"
She can't say that since the princess fell out of favor for a year, there has been no reward in the palace, and even the monthly ritual that should have been there has been broken. The subordinates of the princess's mansion all knew the reason, and everyone discussed it privately, but they were afraid that there would be no way out after the princess, and they would flee and go.
What's more, she also rolled up the burden and went to Gao Zhi, so that the princess's mansion withered more and more, and she no longer had the honor she once had.
But Nangong Wan'er is hard to change, although her temperament has become deeper, her food and clothing will never be reduced. It's only been a year, and the money she once saved has almost been spent, and Mei'er occasionally knocks on her side, euphemistically complaining, but it never works.
Now Nangong Wan'er suddenly said that she wanted to bet on Huang Xiucai 100,000 taels, even if she sold Mei'er, she couldn't take it out!
Suddenly, Nangong Wan'er's eyes turned, her sharp edge was revealed, Mei'er was stunned, and she was just about to explain when she heard her: "Forget it, don't worry about it first, let's talk about it tomorrow." Nangong Wan'er's voice became brisk, and she laughed to herself: "Maybe wait until tomorrow, this palace can win more, hehehehe......"
Mer doesn't know how to bet without money, and how to win more? But she didn't dare to ask more, so she only breathed a sigh of relief and waited carefully beside her, watching today's rematch continue.
At three o'clock in the morning, the equipment needed for the competition had been set up on the high platform.
Swords, guns, halberds, sticks, and cuts were ready, and more than 60 candidates stood in the audience, waiting to be called for their numbers to come on stage to show their style.
Xiao Tianci stood in the rest area, and after yesterday's smooth victory, the whole person looked more and more confident. But the momentum that emanates from the inside out makes the rest of the candidates feel a kind of complacent pride. Standing out from the crowd, it is unique, standing there with only one hand in his hand, which makes the teeth of others hate it even more.
Offended the princess, and even stood here with the face, it's strange to see that they don't teach this person a good lesson!
Wang Xiuhan glanced at Sun Feng, and the little festival between the two had already been resolved in front of Xiao Tianci, a strong rival. He got up and walked to Xiao Tianci, arched his hand and said with a smile: "If you don't have a clumsy eye, your Excellency is Huang Xiucai?" ”
According to his thoughts, the dignified Hanlin Academy's attendant took the initiative to find a Xiucai to speak, and he was already condescending to the noble, no matter how smug Huang Guan was, he should give him a response and be modest.
"Who are you?" Xiao Tianci turned his head and stared at Wang Xiuhan with a disdainful look, as if he disdainful of talking, "Didn't you see that this son is about to play, I don't have time to give you nonsense!" ”
Wang Xiuhan's angry speech: "You ......"
As soon as he turned around, Xiao Tianci reacted, this person called him Huang Xiucai? That's right, he is Huang Xiucai now, and the identity of this person is Xiucai, it seems that he is called Huang Guan or something......
Suddenly remembering Xiao Yuqi's words, don't reveal your identity, Xiao Tianci finally eased his face, and looked at Wang Xiuhan with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that you just greeted my son?" Hahahaha, it's easy to say, this son is Huang Xiucai, but don't you want to be close to this son, princess, this son is determined to win, don't fight with this son! ”
After saying that, he smirked, and his eyes swept to the stunning shadow on the tall building.
Nangong Wan'er suddenly felt a chill, and almost uncontrollably let the guards drag him out and beat him to death. It took a long time to control it, Nangong Wan'er turned her head and shouted in a low voice: "Mei'er, send someone to tell them, find a way to kill this Huang Xiucai, kill him, do you hear it!" Just go! ”
"Shameless, disgusting...... Hongu must kill you! ”
In a moment, Wang Xiuhan and the others had already been informed, and looking at Xiao Tianci again, they were even more full of hatred and vague murderous intentions.
When Wen Changde, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, appeared and announced the start of today's rematch, the onlookers once again set off a burst of cheers.
"The prince will win! Come on, Prince Wang! ”
"What do you say! It's obviously Huang Xiucai who is even more powerful! Someone immediately put his palm to his mouth and shouted: "Huang Xiucai, come on, I bought you ten taels of silver, come on!" ”
"Sun Gongzi is so handsome, the princess will definitely take a fancy to his ......"
Someone next to him immediately said: "You have the same vision as you as a princess, hum!" ”
"The two Zhou Gongzi are also good, they are gentle and handsome, and I don't know how they are doing today, so I am looking forward to it!"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the crowd was excited, which was more lively than the festival. The big girl and the little daughter-in-law, who don't usually go out much, also crowded into the crowd, looking at the candidates with excitement on their faces, setting off a new high in the atmosphere. Tide.
"Today is the martial arts test, the first archery! Listen to all the candidates, the official cautiously reminds that the sword has no eyes, each of them is careful, if something happens, they will be responsible for the consequences. If you are afraid, you can withdraw from the competition now, and once you are on stage, you must go through to the end. ”
With Wen Changde's prompts and warnings, everyone understood why there was an extra barrier on the high platform today, blocking behind the target cutting. Affection is to prevent accidents and accidentally hurt others.
After a pause, no one came forward to say that they would retire, and the retest finally began.
The order of entry has long been rearranged, and according to the order passed yesterday, each candidate has received a new credential. There are three people in the first group, and the one who walks in the front is yesterday's No. 7 Wang Xiuhan, who ranks first today!
Dressed in a white power suit, the whole person looks magnificent, with long hair tied up, and a heroic posture, which caused a cheer as soon as he appeared. Wang Xiuhan and the other two first smiled at Nangong Wan'er on the tall building, and then picked up the longbow next to him, he first drew a white feather arrow, and then stood in his position, his movements looked extremely familiar, obviously he was used to it.
The two opponents beside him, one is yesterday's No. 9 Wen Chang, and the other is No. 27 Huang Guan.
"Huang Xiucai, please don't hesitate to teach me later." Wang Xiuhan looked at Xiao Tianci lightly, and the secret order sent by the princess just now already appeared in his mind: take the opportunity to clean up that Xiucai surnamed Huang!
Wen Changchang looked at the two of them, and didn't say a word, he knew that his family background, identity, and reputation were not as good as the two opponents, so he obediently stood in his position, just separating Wang Xiuhan and Xiao Tianci from left and right.
Xiao Tianci didn't notice Wang Xiuhan's hostility, only revealed his signature arrogance, picked up a bow casually, turned it upside down, and tried to pull the bowstring, and suddenly a beautiful full moon appeared, and Wang Xiuhan's face changed.
"Than archery, hehe, this son practiced archery at the age of three, rode a horse at the age of five, and he couldn't play anymore." Xiao Tianci didn't look at Wang Xiuhan, but the latter obviously knew that he was saying to himself: "If you want to win this son, you better save some effort." ”
"You...... Don't talk big. Wen Chang's breath was weak, and his rebuttal seemed unimposing.
Wang Xiuhan was vigilant in his heart, but his words were relaxed: "Really? I didn't expect Huang Xiucai to shoot arrows and ride horses, I don't know who it is? Don't let the wind flash your tongue, it will be a shame. ”
I almost forgot my current identity again, Xiao Tianci snorted: "My son is just joking." But to win against you, it's too easy, and some of them can't win! ”
His face sank, and Wang Xiuhan didn't want to say any more: "Then see the real chapter under your hands!" ”
Boom!
A crisp bell rang, and Xiao Tianci and the others immediately turned straight faces, and they no longer had time to take care of others. He's all he wants now is to win, win, win!! Only by winning can he marry the princess, can he cure his hidden disease, and he doesn't have to beg Luo Qingluan for that hateful woman! will restore his majesty as a man!
At the same time, Wang Xiuhan and Wen Changchang opened their bows and arrows at the same time, aiming at the front to cut the target.
Swish!
A white feather arrow rushed out first, like a meteor, bringing out a white arc and firmly nailing it to the bull's-eye!
