Originally, there were 100 people in the team from Yan to send relatives, and there were 100 people in Mu Yutao's team to welcome relatives, and later 100 people were transferred from surrounding towns, and the team of 300 people could not hide their whereabouts, fortunately, it was already in the territory of Chu State, since the wedding period on August 15 had passed, there was no hurry to rush back to Chu City, and then Princess Luoxi's wound had not healed, and it was not suitable to travel for a long time, so Mu Yutao deliberately slowed down the trip, just to meet Princess Luoxi's desire to play, and traveled all day long, so uncomfortable.

After the attack, she and Mu Yutao got a lot closer, and often invited Mu Yutao to fish and hunt together, which made Qin Luohe, who was ruthlessly abandoned, very depressed, and complained in a whisper a few times, Princess Luoxi bluntly said, "Who made you not as good-looking as him." ”

Her tone was so natural, the choked Qin Luohe was speechless, and not far away, Mu Yutao was amused by the pair of masters and servants, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

When she said this, Princess Luoxi was fishing by the stream, her face was always happy, and she couldn't see any sadness, and the moonlit night that night seemed to be just another dream of Mu Yutao, no one knew about it, and no one mentioned it, and disappeared into the gradually extinguishing flames with the burning autumn song.

Just playing around, talking and laughing, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the welcoming team has finally arrived in Chucheng.

At the same time, Zeng Zhou's investigation has also made new progress.

"Have you investigated? Is it really the work of the Nightshade? Wei Wu asked, he accompanied the general Zhang Heng and Yushi Zhang Bin to greet Princess Luoxi outside Chu City, and then escorted Luoxi all the way to the Chu City Post House, after the matter was done, Wei Wu was not in a hurry to go back, he opened his mouth wide and listened to what happened on the way to greet his relatives, and it happened that Zeng Zhou returned to the post house.

There were only three of them in the room, Zeng Zhou had no scruples, picked up the teapot on the table and poured it into his mouth, "Gollum" drank all the tea in the pot, but he still felt thirsty, shook it vigorously, and threw the teapot aside when he saw that there was indeed no water.

Wei Wu watched him drink a pot of water without grace, and wondered, "Where did you come back from?" Why didn't I see you when I was kissing? ”

Zeng Zhou searched around the room, and finally he found a full kettle, and drank two or three more cups before saying, "I arrived in Chucheng this morning, and I just came out of prison, and it was stuffy and hot there, and I was interrogated there for a day, and I died of thirst." ”

Wei Wu was even more puzzled, and said, "The prisoner who assassinated the princess? Didn't the Assassins present leave nothing alive? ”

Mu Yutao was also puzzled, and also looked at Zeng Zhou.

"It's true that the assassins are all dead, but with such a large group of people, you can still find some if you look closely."

Zeng Zhou gradually eased up, looked at his friend's confused eyes, and made the mistake of selling Guan Zi again, and said, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Wei Wu knew that he had always been like this, but he couldn't help but ask, "What did you find?" ”

Zeng Zhou sat in front of the two, poured a cup of tea unhurriedly, took a sip before saying, "These assassins have actually been waiting on the road for a long time, but this princess of Yan Kingdom is too willful, and they have missed the time, they have not waited, for a long time, not to mention eating and sleeping, there must always be someone to pass on the news for such an important matter, but unfortunately this person was bumped into by the local people." ”

Wei Wu asked, "He didn't run?" Did you catch him? ”

Hearing this, Zeng Zhou smiled sarcastically, and said, "There is a way that people die for money, birds die for food, if he leaves quickly after the incident, the Five Elements Continent is so big, I can't do anything about him, but this person doesn't give up, secretly follows the back of the team, waits for the opportunity to move again, and is targeted by me." ”

"Has he recruited them all? Who did it? ”

Wei Wu saw that Zeng Zhou picked up the teacup again, and couldn't help urging, "Eh, say it quickly, what's wrong with this!" Don't drink it, you're about to drink two pots, and you'll find the toilet in a while! ”

Zeng Zhou sighed and said, "I have been sending people to follow him, and yesterday I finally waited for him to meet a mysterious man, and then ordered the arrest of the two, but unfortunately I was in the greeting team at the time, and I was not at the scene, so the mysterious man ran away." ”

He shook his head, and continued, "The one I caught is just a small minion, I don't know much, but it's tight, it took me a long time to know from him that they were the people of the night, and he took a deposit to kill Luoxi, as for who the employer is, he doesn't know." ”

Wei Wudao: "Don't know the employer? Isn't that equivalent to ignorance? Useless. ”

Zeng Zhou's brows furrowed more and more, and he paused for a moment before saying, "It's not that I don't know anything, from that person's mouth, we know the reward for the assassination."

Seeing his serious expression, Wei Wu knew that this reward must be something extraordinary, and asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

"It's Yan Aya."

Yan Aya, a horse of gold, so also known as a thousand gold silk, light as nothing, gorgeous and abnormal, plus a thousand years of not rotten and not bad, often used in major matters of the national letter or to commend the merits of the princes and generals, the Mu family because of the support of the king has great merit, the Queen Mother was allowed to show his merits, once gave Mu Cheng a horse, indirectly let the civil and military officials see the status of the Mu family.

However, the processing method of Yan Aya only exists in the Yan Palace, and now the existing Yan Aya on the mainland is transmitted from the Yan Kingdom, and there are only a few hundred horses in the world.

Mu Yutao thought for a while and said, "Luoxi is the princess of Yan Guoyan, her life is indeed worth a Yan Aya, although the number of Yan Aya, but it is not nothing, there are at least hundreds of people in this world who can take ......"

Zeng Zhou interrupted, "It's not one, it's seven, three is a deposit, and there are four more after the deed." ”

Wei Wu gasped, and Mu Yutao was also shocked.

Shocked, Wei Wu reacted and hurriedly asked, "So, is it the Yan royal family who wants to kill the princess?" "With such a number of Yan Aya, I'm afraid only Yan Guo can take it," but why? Isn't the princess very favored? ”

In connection with the changes in the situation in the four countries in recent years, Wei Wu even began to doubt the true purpose of the Yan State marriage, and he casually guessed, "The Yan State wants to start a war with this?" The princess of a country died in a foreign land, the Yan country was furious, and the Chu country took the blame?"

Before the words fell, even he himself was taken aback by this idea, Mu Yutao quickly retorted, "This is not enough, the strength of Chu and Yan is between Bozhong, even if Yan Guo will not necessarily win in a fight, even if he has the upper hand, other countries cannot let go of this golden opportunity, when the Five Elements Continent is in flames, there are too many variables in the middle, who can laugh to the end is still unknown, Yan Wang can stand out from many princes, it should not be so stupid." ”

"So what is the reason for a royal family to hunt down their own princess? Or is it on the borders of the Chu State?"

Mu Yutao and Zeng Zhou were puzzled, the room was quiet, and the breathing sound of the three of them was clearly discerning.

It's just a shallow autumn at this time, but there is a slight chill in the air; The tea in the cup was cold, Zeng Zhou seemed to have forgotten his thirst, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the rim of the cup, Wei Wu looked at Mu Yutao who was pale for a while, and looked at Zeng Zhou who was silent for a while, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but he really didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Mu Yutao sighed, his lips slightly opened, and he was about to speak, only to hear a knock on the door with a "bang".

Mu Yutao's pupils shrank, and the three people in the room were martial arts masters, and they didn't even notice that there was someone outside the door at such a short distance!

Surprised for a moment, Mu Yutao quickly opened the door, outside the door, the sunset dyed the clouds in the sky, like orange petals, hanging in the distance where heaven and earth meet.

Zhen Zhen, who was beside Princess Luoxi, stood outside the door and said expressionlessly, "General, the princess is invited." ”

Zhen Zhen has always been like this, there is always frost on her face, and Mu Yutao, who knows countless people, can't see anything unusual from her face, so she has to say, "There is a labor girl, please girl first, and Weichen will arrive later." ”

Mu Yu Tao watched Zhen Zhen go away, closed the door, Wei Wu's eyes widened and said, "This girl is the master next to the princess!?" It's okay, I didn't even notice it. ”

Among the three of them, Wei Wu's martial arts attainments were the deepest, and he didn't even notice it, which showed the high level of Zhen Zhen's martial arts.

Zeng Zhou was a little unconvinced, and said, "She is just better at light skills, if she really fights, she may not be your opponent." ”

Wei Wuyu was immersed in the surprise of meeting a female master, didn't think much about it, and subconsciously replied, "Maybe, but she is better than you, there is no doubt about it." ”

"Forehead ......"

Zeng Zhou was angry, looking at Wei Wu's innocent face, he couldn't wait to punch him, "You ......."

Mu Yutao interrupted, "Okay, I'm going to see the princess." Zeng Zhou, if you continue to investigate this case, you must find out the ins and outs of the matter. Also, I've heard that the Night Evil has always had a 'no more than three things' rule, and it will only give up if it doesn't succeed in shooting at the same object three times in a row, this is only the first time, the palace is heavily guarded, and if the Night Evil wants to complete the task, he will definitely take action before entering the palace, and we must strengthen our vigilance. ”

To Wei Wudao, "Wuzi, you too, go back and tell General Zhang what we have found, and ask him to strengthen the troop deployment around the post house." ”
