Yun Wei nodded, swallowed two pills, and continued to rest. After a long while, the curtain of King Wei's car was lifted.

Xiao Yan walked out, although his eyes were still red and swollen, his face had been wiped clean: "I sent an urgent message back to the capital, and sent someone to check Xu Chen's family first." When he turned around, he saw Yun Kui's face turned pale and coughed lightly, "The national teacher was also seriously injured, but the generals were still waiting for a meeting." ”

Yun Ku hummed and beckoned, and Lu Ming was about to help him up: "Let's go." ”

......

In the big tent of the Chinese army, all the high-ranking members of the Wei army have arrived.

The first question that everyone got straight to the point: "The identity of the murderer, there are no clues yet?"

Wu Chen, the court lieutenant, handed over all the relics of Xu Chen, and Xiao Yan looked through them one by one, focusing on the letters in the cylinder. There are three or four letters in total, all of which are letters from the prince, asking about the situation of Wang Shi's Eastern Expedition, and only one is a reply letter from Xu Chen, with only a few lines on it, and I think it has not been written yet.

The letter did not reveal the slightest hint of information about the assassination, not even any explicit language.

Wu Chen said in a low voice: "Seven years ago, Xu Chen was recommended to the king by the crown prince. ”

But just like that, it's all the more suspicious. Let's not talk about today's troubles, one is the crown prince, and the other is a close minister around the monarch, is the relationship between the two too close?

Xiao Yan read the letter before passing it on to the others. The reason why he opened the evidence in front of the generals was to show his innocence. Everyone understands this reason.

So the next key question is that Xu Chenxiu is lowly, how can he kill the king?

Helian Jia asked most bluntly: "What kind of magic weapon does the king use to protect his body?"

Xiao Yan made a move back, and a guard came over with a tray and a scroll on it.

Yun Jie walked over, took the scroll and slowly opened it on the bookcase. It turns out that this is a picture of a war, depicting a scene of a large army fighting with demon beasts. The uniform of this army was different from that of the existing six nations, and Yun Jie stroked their battle flags and said softly, "Haoli Empire." ”

This is the banner of the Haoli Empire.

Fighting the army are a dozen or so large, vicious-looking youkai. The painter is very skilled, and he draws a fierce face with a few simple strokes. The human soldiers and cultivators on their counterparts were holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, and the ground was stained red with blood.

"This is a dragon slaying diagram. Xiao Yan said slowly, "The Haoli Empire took several generations of dynastic power to defeat the demon beasts and occupy the dominant power in Middle-earth. This painting depicts a battle to expel the demon beast. And the most famous of all the monsters is the dragon. He pointed to the upper right corner of the scroll, "The feat of slaying the dragon is drawn here, so this painting is called 'Dragon Slaying Picture'." ”

Yun Jie looked at him and didn't speak, only raised his eyebrows, wondering how he could be clear.

King Wei's talisman has always been a secret, and almost no one knows its shape and efficacy, which is also one of the means to ensure the king's safety. Don't say that Yun Kui doesn't know, Xiao Yan shouldn't know.

Xiao Yan saw his eyes, sighed and said, "I have seen this painting, but at that time it was not on a scroll, but a pattern, and it was tattooed all over my father's upper body!"

"When my father died, the pattern was stripped off and restored to a scroll. ”

Xu Guangxiang was surprised: "The thorny dragon diagram is my father's talisman?"

Xiao Yan's eyes showed a look of memory: "When I was a child, I was with my father, and he once pointed to the people in the painting and explained them to me one by one, and I still remember them." ”

He pointed in the direction of his heart, and his face became more and more gloomy: "The dragon head of the black dragon is painted in the position of my father." ”

Yunjie lowered his head again, and sure enough, he saw the person in the painting taking a dagger and piercing it on the dragon's eye. He couldn't help but squint: "This dagger is so familiar!"

Yao Gong interjected on the side: "This is the murder weapon that assassinated the king!"

At the end of the handle of the dagger in the painting, there is a lotus flower made of red gold, which is embedded with several tiny rubies as flowers¥~Rui, and the dagger that has just been pulled out of the heart of King Wei is clearly also in this form, and even the shape of the ruby in the flower is completely consistent!

Helian Jia said loudly: "What do you mean, where is the murder weapon?"

Xiao Yan nodded at the dagger in the painting: "General Helian, you are looking at it." ”

Helian Jia's face changed: "What!"

"The black dragon I saw on my father in the past didn't have this dagger in his eye. Xiao Yan took a breath and said, "The dragon slayer's hands are empty. Back then, I thought it was strange and asked my father. Father made a joke and said that as long as the black dragon is alive, he can get the blessing of dragon power by tattooing it on his body, so how can he kill it?"

"But the fact is that after Fang Cai Yao Gong took off the dagger, it turned into a pattern and melted into the scroll. Xiao Yan raised his voice slightly, "In my opinion, Xu Yan or did he use it to return to the nature of the original picture?"

This matter is really a bit unbelievable, and everyone looks at each other, all of them are digesting the news.

Yun Ku coughed twice, listless: "Why not give it a try?"

After a dozen breaths, a captive of the country was brought up. Xu Guangxiang recited the mantra on the scroll, and then shook it towards the captive.

Sure enough, the scroll seemed to be soaked in water, and the color and lines on it floated and wound around the captive.

After a few breaths, he took a closer look at his clothes, and sure enough, the content of the picture was attached to the prisoner's skin, as if it was a tattoo, and the black dragon dragon head was indeed located in his heart.

Xu Guangxiang casually pulled out his long sword and slashed at him, and sure enough, this attack was immediately rebounded.

Fortunately, she didn't use much strength in the first place, otherwise she would have been injured.

This shows that the defense of the Thorny Dragon Diagram has not been destroyed.

In the painting, the dragon slayer is holding a dagger in his hand.

Xu Guangxiang stroked the dagger, gently flicked it twice, and a strange scene happened:

It was actually "pulled out"!

Once out of the tattoo, it becomes a real thing, weighty, three-dimensional, and even the ruby on the top of the handle shines brightly.

"It's a free-standing artifact, sealed in a scroll. Yun Jie first saw the clue, "You might as well think of the scroll as its sheath, usually the dagger is stored in the sheath, but the composition is too exquisite, it is difficult for the uninformed to find." ”

He tapped twice on the tattoo: "The defense of the Thorn Dragon Diagram itself is strong, and it is impossible for Xu Chen to break through with his true strength alone, so he has to use a dagger." The two were originally matched, and the Thorn Dragon Diagram would not refuse to approach the dagger. ”

Xu Guangxiang tried, and sure enough, he stabbed the prisoner lightly with a dagger, and they all stabbed blood, but the thorny dragon figure still did not react.

She then placed the dagger close to the dragon slayer's hand, and sure enough, with a "whoosh", the dagger was sucked back and transformed into a tattoo again.

It turns out that this is the way to commit murder.

"The murderer knew the secret of the thorn dragon diagram, and he also knew that it had turned into a tattoo on his father's body. Xiao Yan pressed his forehead, "Find out the origin of this magic weapon, find out how it fell into the hands of my father, and the identity of the murderer will probably be known." ”
