Chapter Seventy-One: Who Will It Be?
Fan Beibei is not the only one who is anxious, but also the Seven Princes of Snow Country.
To tell the truth, the Seventh Prince hated Qiye in his heart, and he wanted Qiye to die more than everyone else, but he definitely didn't want Qiye's life now.
After experiencing the affairs of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, the Seven Princes understood more and more the importance of Qiye to him, without Qiye, that plan would never be able to be carried out, and without Qiye, he couldn't even leave the academy alive.
So, Qiye can die and must die, but not now. It is necessary to wait for that plan to be completed, and after he sits on the throne, Nanaba's death will be allowed.
The Seventh Prince said eagerly: "Cousin, you said Tian Qi...... Mr. Tian, what is his current situation?"
Meng Tian: "Your Highness, don't worry, Mr. Tian is not what he used to be, he is now Mr. Seventy-Three of the Confucian Garden, the master of the academy, and Yangshan will definitely do his best to save him." β
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince felt a little relieved in his heart, and said slowly: "Cousin, if, I mean if, Mr. Tian is dead." I'll tell you about his full plan, are you sure you can complete it for him?"
Meng Tian shook his head and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, before I met Mr. Tian, I thought that after I got to know him, I would have the ability to compete with him. But after seeing Mr. Tian's methods this time, I realized that my previous ideas were so naΓ―ve. Whether it is scheming or courage and strategy, Mr. Tian is a hundred times better than me, and I am definitely not his opponent. β
"Hundredfold, cousin, are you exaggerating?" the Seventh Prince said suspiciously.
Meng Tian sighed and said, "It's not an exaggeration, just take the matter in front of you, does Your Highness still remember that today in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, Mr. Tian cooperated with Fan Shaobo to help him swallow up half of the Wu Kingdom?"
The Seventh Prince nodded, "Naturally, I remember." β
Meng Tian: "Then Your Highness still remembers that after Fan Shaobo heard it at that time, the first question was to ask Mr. Tian, after swallowing half of the Wu State, Qi and Chu will definitely aid the Wu State, and when the time comes, how will the Yue State deal with the alliance of the three countries?"
Nanaba's head nodded again, "Remember." β
Meng Tian asked, "Then does Your Highness remember how Mr. Tian answered?"
The Seventh Prince replied: "He didn't answer directly, only said that he had already figured out a way to deal with Qi and Chu, and there would definitely be no situation where the three kingdoms would jointly attack Vietnam." β
Meng Tian sighed and said, "This is the terrible thing about Mr. Tian. It is ashamed to say that his subordinates once studied the national situation of Yue on the orders of Mr. Tian, and they also knew a little about the situation in Qi and Chu. But after thinking about it for so long, his subordinates still didn't think of any way to stop the alliance of Qi, Chu, and Wu. β
The Seventh Prince seemed to have come to his senses and said, "Cousin, do you mean that once Mr. Tian dies and we can't think of a way to solve the reinforcements of Qi and Chu, Fan Shaobo will give up cooperating with us?"
Meng Tian bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "That's right. Once Fan Shaobo refuses to cooperate, Mr. Tian's plan will definitely be in chaos, and when the time comes, we will ......"
There is no need for him to continue, the Seven Princes also know what it means.
The plan fails, and both of them will die!
Qiye's plan has long pushed the two of them to a dead end, and there is no way back, either the plan is completed or a dead end.
As soon as he thought of this, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but be scared in his heart, and he said in a trembling voice: "Cousin, why don't we run?"
"Run?" Meng Tian looked at the Seventh Prince and said with a disappointed expression: "Your Highness, do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us now? Run? β
The Seventh Prince said helplessly: "Then what should we do?"
Meng Tian looked up to the sky and sighed: "Pray for Mr. Tian, you can only pray that Mr. Tian is alive, otherwise, as soon as he dies, the two of us will also be buried with him." β
The Seven Princes sat down with a slump, and he realized that Qiye's scheming was deeper than he imagined, and he had already tied the two of them together in silence, and as soon as Qiye had an accident, the two of them couldn't run, forcing them to rely on him.
It's horrible!
......
Sheep Mountain Back Mountain, Confucian Garden,
"Who could it be?"
Qiye was lying on the bed, thinking carefully, who was the person who killed him?
Killing people requires a reason, especially for the great cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, killing people in a place like Yangshan Academy requires a great reason.
There are generally two reasons for killing, one of which is vendetta. Qiye just returned to his body and did not offend others, so he ruled out vendetta.
Therefore, it can only be the second reason, killing for profit.
To put it simply, what Qiye is doing now has harmed the interests of the other party, so the other party wants to kill Qiye to protect his own interests.
What is Qiye doing now?Promote peace talks between the human and demon races.
In other words, the motive of the other party's killing is to prevent the two races of humans and demons from succeeding in peacemaking.
Reasoning from this aspect, the scope of the killer narrows down a lot.
In this world, there are not many forces that don't want to make peace between the two races of humans and demons, and are not afraid of offending the seventy-two sages of the Yangshan Confucian Garden, and can still send the great cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Realm to be killers.
The first one, the first thing that Qiye thought of was the demon clan.
Once the peace between the human and demon races is successful, the demon race will be isolated, and it will definitely fall into an unprecedented crisis, and it may even be crusaded by the human race.
Therefore, the demon clan must prevent the human and demon clans from negotiating peace, so as to protect themselves.
As soon as he thought of this, the door was pushed open, and Mr. Two walked in with Mr. Eighteen.
Nanaba's wants to get up to greet him.
Seeing this, Mr. Eighteen hurriedly said, "Little junior brother, your wound has just been bandaged, so you don't need to be polite." β
"Then I'm rude. Qiye lay down slowly, the pain from his abdomen made him grin in pain, although he escaped, but a hole was opened in his abdomen, and he was hit hard.
Looking at the painful look of this little junior brother, Mr. Eighteen was full of emotion in his heart.
He also clearly remembered that Qiye had said not long ago that once he was pushed out of the academy to be the master of the academy and stood on the bright side, he would be killed.
Sure enough, after only one day's work, Qiye was assassinated and almost died.
Fortunately, Qiye had the foresight to let Mr. Two secretly follow him and protect him, otherwise he would have died in Huangquan.
"Little junior brother, it's all my fault for being careless. Mr. Two said apologetically.
Qiye said with a smile: "Second Senior Brother is serious, if it weren't for you, Senior Brother I would already be a corpse now, Senior Brother, I would like to thank Second Senior Brother for your life-saving grace." β
"It's good that the little junior brother doesn't blame the senior brother, don't mention the life-saving grace again. Mr. Two looked ashamed.
At the beginning, when Qiye asked him to protect himself secretly, Mr. Two still felt that Qiye was making a big fuss.
In his opinion, Yangshan Academy is one of the three mountains of the human race, who dares to do it here? But because Qiye has a special identity and is about to become the master of the academy, he can't refuse, so he can only reluctantly agree, perfunctory.
When Qiye was assassinated, Mr. Two was still playing chess, and when he reacted, he was already a beat slower, which led to the opponent's sneak attack.
If Mr. Two keeps his attention on Qiye, it is impossible for the other party to take advantage of it.
Therefore, Mr. Two blamed himself and was very ashamed.
What kind of person is Qiye? The old fritter who was crawling and rolling saw through Mr. Er's mind at a glance, but he didn't break it, and asked instead: "Second Senior Brother, Fan Da...... What happened to Miss Shih Tzu's injuries?"
Mr. Er said solemnly: "Master Fan's nephew's injury is not optimistic, her heart and lungs were pierced, although the bleeding was temporarily stopped, but after all, the heart and lungs are too important to the human body, and it is difficult to heal." What's more serious is that the weapon of the sneak attack was quenched with poison, and the poison has spread through her heart and has spread all over her body, and the situation is not optimistic, the twenty-third junior brother said......"
Qiye said in a deep voice: "Second Senior Brother, you don't hurt to say it. β
Mr. Er sighed: "Senior Brother Twenty-Three said that she probably won't live for three days. β
"Three days!?" Nanaba's heart felt heavy.
Although he considered himself a scoundrel and a villain, he never thought that he would be rescued by a woman one day, and this woman also paid the price of his life.
As a man, this bit of self-esteem is still there.
Qiye asked, "What about the twenty-third senior brother?"
Mr. 2: "The twenty-third junior brother is still guarding Master Fan's nephew, reading medical books and trying to save her." β
Qiye thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Is there anyone who caught the assassin?"
Mr. Eighteen shook his head and said, "The other party has already done a good job, and if he misses a blow, he will immediately run away, and by the time we catch up, he will already be far away." β
Qiye asked again: "Second Senior Brother, you have fought with him, can you see his detailed origin?"
Mr. Er shook his head and said, "The other party deliberately concealed his own heaven and earth law, and he didn't use his own exercises, so it was difficult to find out his details." But one thing is certain, the other party's strength is very strong, not below me, and the aura is very similar to the person who secretly followed you before. β
This doesn't need to be said by Mr. Er, Qiye has already guessed that the assassin of the Heavenly Destiny Realm must have been secretly peeping at Qiye and observing his every move, until he found out that Qiye was the 'military advisor' behind the Seven Princes, the one who planned the peace between the human and demon clans, and then he would move his murderous intent.
"Is it possible that someone from the demon clan?" Qiye suddenly asked.
Mr. Two shook his head, "It's not very likely." There are so many masters of the demon race, and the human race has corresponding information on the side, and at the entrance and exit of the 100,000 barren mountains, the major forces of the human race have set up secret sentinels, and once the fifth realm demon comes out of the mountain, it will definitely be discovered. Unless it was a master secretly cultivated by the demon clan, the human race never obtained his information, and was fished in troubled waters by it and sneaked out. β
Qiye pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "In this way, it's not that the demon clan wants to kill me." β
Mr. Two nodded in agreement.
Every sect has a secret cultivation master, which is something that everyone knows to each other. However, it was not so easy to quietly cultivate a Fifth Realm Great Cultivator who was on par with, or even better than, Second Master.
You must know that Mr. Two ranks second among the seventy-two sages of Confucianism, not only because he started early, but also because of his strong strength.
Although there is no clear ranking, Mr. Er's strong strength is enough to rank in the top twenty of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, which is very powerful.
