Chapter Ninety-Seven: Spy of Spy
Therefore, Xu Yi entered the palace to meet the emperor, and said that General Shen Tucang was the mainstay, and his own palace was willing to postpone Xu Junxiao's burial and wait until the marriage was over.
In the ears of the incompetent emperor, not only did he not have the slightest doubt, but he greatly praised Xu Yi's generosity and consideration, but Gong Yuyan felt strange, and immediately sent someone to check along the vine, and vaguely found out the clues with the power of the peerless secret.
And when it was reported to Wei Xiwan, Wei Xiwan boldly guessed Xu Yi's entire plan based on this small and fragmentary clue. She never expected that the seemingly calm Xiyue Kingdom Imperial Court would have such a turbulent undersurge.
It's just that Xu Yi never thought that if he killed Shen Tucang, who else would be able to lead troops against Nancheng Kingdom? Rong Jian could, but he had already been hidden by himself.
Everything seems to be enough to benefit Nancheng Kingdom, but Wei Xiwan does not intend to really let Xu Yi ascend the throne, once this rebellion plan changes, it is very likely that it will not be Xu Yi who will ascend the throne, but Shen Tucang, in this way, it is definitely not a good thing for Nancheng Kingdom.
Therefore, Shen Tu Cang has to deal with it, and so does Xu Yi, and the way to deal with two people at the same time, and to avoid the two of them from fighting back with a united alliance, is to blame Xu Tu Cang for Xu Junxiao's death in advance.
The sorcerer who was arranged by Wei Xiwan to tell fortunes was ordered by Wei Xiwan not to return to Nancheng Kingdom, but walked in the direction of Shen Tu Cang's mansion......
The next day, the corpse of a wizard arranged by Wei Xiwan appeared in the barren forest outside the city.
The subordinates followed the wizard all the way to your orders, and found that he deliberately detoured many ways, and finally quietly walked into the general's mansion, and the subordinates felt that there was something strange about this matter, so they secretly followed him when the wizard went out the next day, and wanted to arrest him back for interrogation, but he didn't expect to follow him to a forest outside the city and suddenly lost it, and the subordinates searched for a long time before finally finding the wizard, but ...... By then he had already been killed. ”
"Shen Tu Cang?" Hearing the return of his subordinates, Xu Yi was immediately shocked, and repeated the name with some trembling, he never thought that the person who designed to kill Xu Junxiao might be Shen Tu Cang.
He thought that he had never shown any flaws in front of Shen Tu Cang, and besides, his real actions had not yet begun, so how could Shen Tu Cang make a move?
If it was really Shen Tu Cang, then this person's scheming was so deep that he was terrified, not only could he know his plan in advance unknowingly, and even as specific as Xu Junxiao's step, but also dared to design a fire to kill Xu Junxiao first, causing his plan to miss an important link, this scheming is really unimaginable. Did he kill Xu Junxiao to give him a reminder, or did he have another purpose?
Then his Xu Yi's every move, wouldn't they all be exposed in front of Shen Tu Cang, thinking about this, Xu Yi oozed a cold sweat, but quickly calmed down, at present, all this is just speculation, maybe there is someone else who killed Xu Junxiao and knew his plan, and this person is using this matter to make the relationship between him and Shen Tucang complicated, and then take advantage of the situation.
He has asked His Majesty today that the wedding date will be held as scheduled, and His Majesty has also agreed, if His Majesty's decision has not changed, then maybe all this is a misunderstanding, because if the murderer is really Shen Tucang, he will definitely find a way to postpone the wedding, so that his plan will not succeed.
All speculations need to be verified.
Nancheng country.
Winter nights always come very early and are very long, and the sun lazily sets down early, and the moon hangs in the sky instead.
Zhang Jingzhe hadn't seen Wei Xi late for several days, and she seemed to be busy with something all day long, but as far as he knew, there had been no major events in Nanchengguo recently, so what was she busy with?
With questions, and the feeling that he would not admit to wanting to see her in his heart, Zhang Jingzhe put on a coat and prepared to go to Wei Xi to take a look at the night in the middle of the night against the wind and snow, it is snowing again today, this girl will not build a snowman again today, right?
Thinking of the snowman that the two of them built together that day, Zhang Jingzhe couldn't help but show a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know if the three snowmen were still there......
Just halfway through, an extremely small voice reached Zhang Jingzhe's ears, and he couldn't help but stop and listen, only to vaguely hear that this was a woman's cry.
This was by no means Wei Xi's late cry, because her room was not in the direction of the cry, and in the middle of the night, the faint crying seemed extremely terrifying.
Who was it, why did they cry in the middle of the night? Which maid in the mansion got lost? Or was she unable to walk in the heavy snow? With curiosity and questions, Zhang Jingzhe's footsteps quietly turned around and went in the direction where the cry came from, and the wind and snow soon drowned a string of footprints left in the snow.
The night is always more arousing people's emotions, and Xu Junxiao, who was homesick and couldn't escape by all means, couldn't fall asleep over and over, and couldn't help crying from the bottom of his grievances.
A pair of feet of a man in cotton shoes appeared in the room at some point, Zhang Jingzhe frowned and looked at the woman lying on the bed crying, he had never seen her in the National Teacher's Mansion, it seemed that she was definitely not a maid, and there were people outside who were specially guarded, who was this?
Xu Junxiao, who intuitively suddenly sensed an aura that did not belong to him, sat up from the bed suddenly, and saw a strange man standing beside her bed in his hazy teary eyes, staring at himself for a long time.
Who are the "...... you"? Before the last two words could be spoken, the mouth was tightly covered by a large hand with lightning speed.
"Shhhhh
Whoever suddenly saw a strange man standing by the bed at night, how could he not panic? Xu Junxiao was covered with one hand and couldn't say half a word, while Zhang Jingzhe was very patient waiting for the terrified woman in front of him to calm down.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Junxiao finally calmed down a little, and noticed that the woman's body was no longer tense and stiff, so Zhang Jingzhe slowly let go of his hand.
"How did you get in?" Xu Junxiao deliberately lowered his voice this time, looked at the handsome man in front of him and asked.
Just now she had already looked around her room, and found that the doors and windows were the same, how did this man come in quietly, and seeing that he was not allowed to make a noise, he looked worried about being discovered, Xu Junxiao could confirm that he came in secretly, and the guards who broke through the outside entered here slightly, this person must be extraordinary, and even ...... It could be someone who rescued her out.
"Who are you?" Zhang Jingzhe didn't answer and asked, the woman's clothes and small every move in front of him could be seen to be a well-educated rich lady, so why was she trapped in the National Teacher's Mansion?
"I am the daughter of Prince Xu Yi of Xiyue Kingdom, Xu Jun smiled. Xu Junxiao said his identity without the slightest hesitation, and his intuition told him that even if the man in front of him knew her identity, he would not harm her life.
"Xiyue Kingdom?" The man obviously didn't have much interest in her name, and he wasn't too shocked to hear her identity, but pondered the three words "Xiyue Kingdom" carefully, and his eyes revealed an unfathomable deep meaning, which was completely different from the original weak scholarly aura on his body.
Since he has a way to come in unconsciously, maybe he can also take himself out unconsciously, as if he has grabbed a life-saving straw, Xu Junxiao doesn't care who this person is for the time being, as long as he can save her out, he is a good person.
Zhang Jingzhe, who lowered his eyes and thought, suddenly held his big palm tightly by a small boneless hand, only to see Xu Junxiao look up at him with a nervous and expectant face, and said word by word:
"Will you take me out?"
