Ming Chenyuan pinched the half-broken wrench, put it in front of him and looked at it carefully, and said puzzledly: "How can there be an assassin who assassinates and still wears a wrench?" ”

"That's exactly what it is." Nie Xingji echoed: "I'm also thinking that if an assassin comes to assassinate, he will never wear a wrench. Inconvenience is one thing, and if it's lost in a fight, it will leave a clue for the opponent. No assassin is as stupid as that. ”

"Unless it's a token." Ming Chenyuan continued to analyze: "Maybe that assassin came from a certain organization, and he wants to use this wrench to identify himself. ”

"So I sent someone to find out where the wrench came from." Nie Xingji smiled almost inaudibly when he said this: "Such an ordinary wrench is actually a thing of the Chu Palace. ”

"Is it the Chu Sect who came to assassinate you?" Ming Chenyuan reacted immediately.

Nie Xingji shook his head: "The interesting thing is that the King of Chu insisted that this wrench had been lost two years ago. I also sent someone to the Chu Palace, and he didn't lie. ”

"That's a strange thing. How could the things of the Chu royal family, which had been lost for two years, appear on the assassins? As soon as Ming Chenyuan spoke, he suddenly thought of one thing - Princess Qingcheng was also a member of the Chu royal family!

Thinking of the inside story of Nie Xingji's assassination, he hesitated for a moment and asked thoughtfully, "Could it be ...... Is it that the princess has a grudge against you and has found assassins to join forces to assassinate? ”

"No, it won't. You didn't see what was going on, she obviously didn't know the Assassins...... Killing me was also impulsive. Nie Xingji's tone darkened slightly, he thought for a while, and then said, "On the contrary, I think that the assassin may not have come to assassinate me. Maybe...... He came to Qingcheng and made a move when he met me and had an argument with her. If he came to kill me, how could he be ambushed in the Qingcheng House? ”

"But as you said, you temporarily switched rooms with the princess that day. Could it be that the assassins didn't know about this and couldn't see clearly at night, so they ambushed in the princess's house? Mingchen said another possibility.

"No, it won't. The target of the investigation is the most basic quality of an assassin, and if he can even touch the wrong house, he will be ashamed of his high level of effort. As Nie Xingji spoke, he suddenly fell silent, just staring at the wrench in Ming Chenyuan's hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mingchen also fell into deep thought. The various possibilities of the Assassin's identity gradually converged into a cloud of doubts, which made it more and more difficult for him to see.

"If I hadn't shot Chu Li with my own hands and watched him be buried with my own eyes, I would have thought that the assassin was him." Nie Xingji suddenly burst out with such a sentence, with a little seriousness and a little casualness.

"How is this possible! Unless it's the return of the soul. Ming Chenyuan subconsciously retorted.

"I don't believe in strange things." Nie Xingjian tapped the table with his left index finger and motioned for Ming Chenyuan to put the wrench back.

The latter did as he was told, put the wrench back in the box, and put it in Nie Xingji's hand. Seeing that it was not early, he was also worried about Nie Xingji's injury, so he had the intention to go: "This matter will come to light sooner or later, your injury has not healed and it is not suitable to work, it is better to rest early!" I'll come back to you tomorrow with some cures for my wounds. ”

Nie Xingji was not polite to him, nodded and said, "I won't send it, you can do it yourself!" Before I go back to Fengyi, let's find an opportunity to talk at night. ”

"You're going back to Fengyi?" Ming Chenyuan hurriedly asked.

Nie Xingji was about to answer, when there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house: "Your Highness, the Tai Hospital has sent the 'medicine'." ”

Nie Xingji immediately straightened his expression: "Take it in." ”

As soon as the words fell, the henchmen guard had already brought in a medicine box, put it on Nie Xingji's bookcase, and immediately retreated. This "medicine" is not the other "medicine", it is the code word of Nie Xingji and the eyeliner in the palace, which means that there is a secret report from King Yan's side.

He didn't hide it from Mingchenyuan, he opened the dark compartment on the third layer of the medicine box, took out a pill from it, and crushed it between his fingers.

A note was revealed, Nie Xingji opened it and only glanced at it, but his handsome face suddenly changed color-

"The king summoned the princess of Qingcheng, and the princess invited herself to cultivate, and Wang Yunzhi."
