【Chapter 28】Killing the afterimage, the monarch is injured
"Now let's go our separate ways. Zuo Yichen listened to them and had an idea in his heart.
It is estimated that there is no matter related to the ghost clan on the side of Jingyu Hall for the time being, and the clues of Concubine Yun also stay on the palace maid.
Both sides seem to be unable to make progress for a while.
"Li Yue and I will go to prepare the trap of the Taoyuan Array first, and the Third Highness and the Lin guards will continue to follow the clues. After noon, we will gather again in the Linhua Hall to see if there is any progress. ”
"Okay, just according to what the national teacher said. Si Haoyan immediately made a decision and agreed to this plan.
After Zuo Yichen and Bai Liyue left the Linhua Palace, they did not go to the Imperial Garden, but directly pasted an invisibility charm and went in the direction of the Jingyu Palace.
On the one hand, Bai Liyue was going to the side hall where she lived before to take away her things, and on the other hand, they could also take the opportunity to investigate the clues left by the assassin last night.
It's just that the guards seem to have cleaned the battlefield and are destined to let them return in vain.
"Brother Yichen, don't you think it's a little strange, why are the corpses in Jingyu Hall piled up together, but the ground has been cleaned up?"
"This shouldn't have anything to do with the Oni Clan. Yi Chen pursed his lips, he has actually only been in this palace for fifteen years, saying that it is fifteen years, but in fact, most of the time, he has not been in contact with the affairs of the palace.
It's just that after listening to it a lot, I naturally have some conjectures.
In the matter of the Jingyu Palace, there should be some masterpieces of harem concubines.
"Why?" But Bai Liyue didn't understand this, she was all about the ghost clan, and she didn't quite understand why Zuo Yichen insisted that this matter had nothing to do with the ghost clan.
"This matter is widely implicated, if I guess correctly, it should be inseparable from the harem concubines. I estimate that there were more than 100 people yesterday, and I am afraid there is more than one team. ”
"More than one team, Brother Yichen, you mean, there are many people who want to assassinate Si Jingyu?"
Zuo Yichen lowered his head slightly, glanced at the serious Bai Liyue, but in the end, he couldn't resist her curious eyes, so he simply said it.
"Their target should not be Si Jingyu. ”
Seeing Zuo Yichen staring at himself seriously, Bai Liyue seemed to sense that something was wrong, and she didn't answer immediately.
Isn't their target Si Jingyu?
If it's not Si Jingyu, who will it be?
In addition to Si Jingyu, there are only those palace people in Jingyu Palace, and the assassins will never fight for those palace people, right?
Could it be ......
Bai Liyue poked the tip of her nose with her finger and asked silently, "It can't be me, right?"
"I'm afraid that's the only answer. ”
"But didn't I let Si Haoyan tell them yesterday, did I change places to sleep, why did they still come to the Jingyu Palace?"
"That can only mean that their news is relatively lagging behind. Zuo Yichen shrugged his shoulders and said that this is the case.
Well, it turned out to be so.
"Then since they didn't find me, why was Si Jingyu so seriously injured? They should know that it was Si Jingyu's dormitory, right? If they can't find me, there's no need to assassinate Si Jingyu. ”
"I don't know, but according to the situation at the scene, I'm afraid this thing is not necessarily the ghost clan's doing. ”
"You mean...... Was it caused by the battle in the harem? Then the original target of the Nabo people may be Si Jingyu?"
Zuo Yichen shook his head, he really didn't understand the matter of the harem.
"Li Yue, our purpose is to probe the ghost clan and then destroy it, and leave the rest to the Great Apocalypse Emperor to worry about. Zuo Yichen saw Bai Liyue's rhythm of pursuing the bottom line, and he couldn't resist it, after all, he didn't understand the twists and turns in the harem very well.
"That's right...... Okay then......" Bai Liyue was obviously interested, but all her curiosity was dispelled by Zuo Yichen's sudden words.
Compared to these curiosities, of course, life is more important!
Out of the Jingyu Palace, the two returned to the Star Palace and began their own "hard work".
On the way, Zuo Yichen and Bai Liyue discussed a strategy that they agreed could trap Wu Ding.
That's the [Runic Array: Killing Shadow Duel].
This set of rune arrays is a seventh-level golden rune array upgraded from the sixth-level [Rune Array: Killing Remnant], and the effect of [Rune Array: Killing Afterimage] is mainly to dissipate all the killing breath in the rune array, and this rune array is often used as a large-scale battlefield for post-war cleaning, and the speed is very fast.
And the seventh-level [Runic Array: Killing Shadow Duel] is refined by the sixth-level [Runic Array: Killing Remnant] plus the third-level [Runic Array: Phantom Dream] and Qinglian Xianzhi, the effect of [Rune Array: Killing Shadow Duel] is to carry out a quick attack on the owner of all the shadows in the rune array, as long as Wu Ding enters the formation and there is light shining out of his shadow, then he will be trapped by this rune array.
No matter how strong Wu Ding is, he can't escape in an instant. As long as he can hold him back for a moment, Zuo Yichen can use the tracking technique to find the trace of the witch ding, so that he can destroy it in one fell swoop when the time comes!
However, it is not easy to refine this sixth-level [Rune Array: Killing Remnant], in addition to the precious materials, the murderous aura must also be released in the rune array when refining, the stronger the murderous aura, the better the effect of the rune array.
If the two of them are allowed to generate murderous qi on their own, then once the spiritual power is dispersed, this rune array will be a little powerless to draw, and there is also a rune array that can produce murderous energy, and that is the [Lantern Scarecrow].
This kind of [Lantern Scarecrow] is specially developed by the rune array masters to prevent the spirit plant from being destroyed by demon beasts, and generally only needs to draw a single rune of the first level.
The appearance of this [lantern scarecrow] is the same as that of those scarecrows in the fields tens of thousands of years ago, but these scarecrows will carry a small lantern in their hands, and inside is the remaining effect of this talisman.
Once the lamp goes out, the straw dissipates naturally.
So Zuo Yichen and Bai Liyue began to draw this [Lantern Scarecrow], and if they painted more, the murderous aura would be stronger, which was very beneficial to the refining of [Fu Array: Killing Remnant].
Until it was almost noon, the [Lantern Scarecrow] drawn by the two of them ranged from level 1 to level 3, and the total number of pieces was close to 100.
Looking at the old and high rune paper in her hand, Bai Liyue smiled knowingly.
Hehe, with so many [Lantern Scarecrows], she no longer has to worry about her Blue Moon Fruit being harmed by the beasts in [Li].
But...... Is there something wrong with that?
When it was time to meet, the four of them reappeared in the Linhua Palace, but Lin Junci at this time looked really embarrassed.
He is the captain of the Royal Guard, who would dare to do anything to him?
"Jun Ci!" Seeing Lin Jun Ci like this, Si Haoyan was the first to rush forward.
"What's going on? Who dares to hurt you!"
"The prince came to ask for someone, but he didn't arrive, so he talked twice. Lin Junci covered the cough that was about to overflow, eased his breath, and reached out to pat Si Haoyan, signaling that he was fine.
"Who do you want?
Who can you want, isn't it the one you captured?
"The deputy commander is missing, and the prince just came over to ask. ”
"Is he the prince's person?" Zuo Yichen was also a little surprised, Si Haoyan said to check before, but it seems that he hasn't found the result yet, why did the prince jump out and ask for someone by himself?
"Now it seems that this situation can only be thought of first. For no reason, I usually don't see any intersection between them, the prince suddenly came to ask for someone, there should be something urgent. Lin Junci analyzed seriously.
At that time, when the prince asked him for someone, his attitude was very tough.
It could be seen that there must be something very urgent that needed to be found by the deputy commander, which was completely different from the prince he usually saw.
However, of course, Lin Junci would not betray Si Haoyan, and only deduced that they were separated when they searched the palace, and they never saw each other again.
Regarding Lin Junci's statement, Si Haoshu naturally didn't believe it, so he slapped it with his palm in a hurry.
Fortunately, the palace people came, saying that the queen urgently summoned the prince, so Lin Junci could rush back to Linhua Hall in time.
"However, with this palm, the strength of the crown prince seems to have improved a lot compared with last year's royal competition. Lin Junci was just talking to himself, the prince's cultivation has always been in the middle of the royal family, and he just entered the eighth level of Huiyuan last year.
But with that palm just now, although Lin Junci didn't fight back, he also used his spiritual power to resist.
But he still had internal injuries as a fifth-level fusion monk, and this cultivation should at least enter the fusion period.
Si Haoyan really hasn't paid much attention to Si Haoshu's movements recently, let alone observed his cultivation.
When Lin Junci said this, Si Haoyan felt as if he was really negligent about Si Haoshu.
However, only he knows what "aspect" this concern refers to.
"It's okay, you can take this Yunqi Pill first. Si Haoyan handed the two medium-grade Qi Pills to Lin Junci, and after Lin Junci took it, he instantly felt that his internal breath was much more stable.
Chao Si Haoyan nodded, indicating that he was no longer in the way, Lin Junci turned to think of the deputy commander, and asked: "If the deputy commander is the prince's person, and the prince's person is familiar with the palace maid of Kunning Palace, this is reasonable. ”
But judging by the circumstances of that day, they were more than just acquainted. Si Haoyan opened his mouth and added Lin Junci's unfinished words.
"What's there to guess about this, the queen and the crown prince are their own mother and son, if they are all ghost clans, or they are working for the ghost clan, wouldn't it make sense for the palace people under them to do this?
Zuo Yichen is not a subject of Daqi in essence, so naturally he has no reverence for Daqi.
Looking at Si Haoyan and Lin Junci, they knew that it was very likely that the queen and the prince were related to the ghost clan, but they still denied this suspicion in a roundabout way.
This kind of conversation made Zuo Yichen a little impatient.
Zuo Yichen is the best-tempered one among the heirs of the four great families of the Great Apocalypse, how could he become impatient for no reason when he met this Third Highness.
