Chapter 124: Something Happened to the Rocks
Beigong Yanwu supported herself: "Among the eight great families, which one does not have its own secrets? This kid doesn't know where he learned about the secret base of my Beigong family to train dead soldiers, so he opened his mouth and wanted to add to the crime!"
Indeed, neither the dragon scales nor the results of Prince Rui's investigation can directly prove the argument that Shi Zhiyi said that the Ningyuchuan Divine Dragon was raised by the Beigong family. Although he could move the county lord of Yi Ning out as a witness, in that case, the two sides would become a mutual bargain, to see who had more weight in Emperor Jingchang's heart, and there was no convincing power.
"In addition to the existence of this dragon's lair on Wenxu Mountain, the large-scale movement of Gale Riders near Feng'an in those days should also be well documented. ”
Although he couldn't hit the other party with a stick, Shi Zhiyi was not in a hurry at all, and still calmed down and told the story.
Emperor Jingchang's gaze looked at Prince Rui again.
The latter nodded and spoke again: "According to the investigation, a few months ago, the Beigong Family Gale Cavalry did dispatch 40,000 horses and horses to conduct a large-scale search and arrest operation within a radius of three hundred miles around Feng'an. But according to the Beigong family, it was in the Qing Dynasty when the big thieves were being hunted down. ”
"Is there anything to make a fuss about the Beigong family arresting a Jiangyang thief on their own territory? I didn't expect that it would also be used by someone with a heart to frame the palace and the Beigong family!" Beigong Yan saw that Prince Rui still had no substantial evidence, and her momentum couldn't help but increase a little.
Prince Rui smiled slightly and continued: "The strange thing is that on the last day of the Beigong family's operation, the thief Shi Zhiqing was reported to have revealed traces in Lishui City, Hailing Prefecture, thousands of miles away, and was besieged and killed by the Luqiu family's Sea Dragon Army, and died on the spot. ”
Shi Zhiyi also heard the news for the first time, and couldn't help but be stunned. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
This is naturally not a coincidence, but the masterpiece of Jin Mancang, the commander of the Eagle Qiongwei of Yunqi City, and his subordinate Ying Qiongwei. After learning the excuse of the Beigong family, Ying Qiongwei's huge intelligence network quickly found Shi Zhiqing's true location, and handed over the clue to a stranger who had nothing to do with Yunqi City, and he reported it to the Luqiu family.
Beigong Yan secretly hated in her heart, why didn't Zhiqing appear early or late at this time, but when the Beigong family took action under the pretext of being discovered, she was almost unable to step down. But her mouth was still tough: "Maybe the news leaked, and it may not be known that Zhiqing was prepared to flee in advance at that time, and it doesn't mean that this transfer of my Beigong family is aimed at Shi Zhiyi and Yi Ning." ”
Shi Zhiyi said unhurriedly: "The one who chased and killed me and Yi Ning that day was a prince named Beigong Zhao. May I ask Beigong Guifei, do you know him, and where is he now?"
Beigong Yan said: "Zhao'er is the cousin of my second uncle's family, I naturally recognize it." As for where he is now, I don't know. ”
"If the concubine thinks that what I said before is a deliberate plot of nonsense, then there should be no intersection between me and this prince of Beigong. Shi Zhiyi said.
Beigong Yan snorted coldly, "What you said is incredible, my Beigong family has naturally never done it, what intersection will it have with you!"
"In that case, then how can such a thing be in my hands?" The object in Shi Zhiyi's hand was shining, it was the family token that Beigong Zhao gave him before! In addition to the family crest of the Beigong family, a small Zhao character was also engraved in seal script on the back and bottom.
Beigong Zhao mistook Shi Zhiyi for Baichen Ancestor and presented his ring with both hands, only the two Beigong Yixiao brothers and his escort Ling Zhang knew about it, but this matter was too embarrassing, so he didn't tell anyone except the four of them, even Beigong Yan didn't know.
Beigong Yan kept denying everything Shi Zhiyi said before, so naturally there could be no intersection between Beigong Showa and Shi Zhiyi. Now Shi Zhiyi suddenly took out Beigong Zhao's personal token, even if Beigong Yan was stubborn, he was stunned on the spot for a while, unable to justify himself.
At this time, from behind the second prince during the banquet, a young man in his early twenties suddenly stood up, and pointed at Shi Zhiyi with an excited expression: "Boy, it turns out that my second brother was killed by you!" Before the words fell, the person had already rushed towards Shi Zhiyi.
This young man is the third son of Beigong Yixiang and Beigong Xiang, the younger brother of Beigong Zhao. He has lived in Kyoto for a long time and is responsible for a series of businesses in Kyoto on behalf of the Kitamiya family. He is Beigong Yan's cousin, so today's banquet is also among the invitations.
Beigong Showa and Beigong Xiang are less than two years apart, and they have grown up together since childhood, and their relationship is extremely deep. After his brother disappeared inexplicably, he was naturally the most sad one.
But the news from Feng'an's side speculated that Beigong Zhao was killed by the Jing Man's clan, even if he was sad and angry, he was helpless.
Today, he suddenly saw his brother's family token actually appear in Shi Zhiyi's hand, and he was naturally sad, regardless of it, he just wanted to kill him and avenge his brother!
Beigong Yan looked at Beigong Xiang's figure rushing out, her face was pale, she couldn't stand up, and fell softly in her seat.
At this time, Beigong Xiang and Shi Zhiyi had already exchanged hands in the field.
Beigong Xiang held a saint-level mid-grade long sword, the true yuan was flying, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, firmly suppressing Shi Zhiyi, and for a while he only had the power to parry and no power to counterattack.
But at this time, there was a strange silence in the Xiandu Palace, and no one stepped forward to stop this battle.
The county lord knew Shi Zhiyi's true realm and had inexplicable confidence in him, and although the others seemed to want to see the true level of this young man who had been in the limelight at the old man Fu's birthday banquet in Puzhou, at the same time, they all secretly divided part of their minds and paid attention to Emperor Jingchang's every move on the first throne.
The matter has come to this point, the Beigong family, one of the eight great families, raised the Ningyuchuan Divine Dragon, and the plan to assassinate the three princes with the help of the power of the divine dragon has been completely revealed to the world.
How to protect oneself in this storm and get the most benefit from it is what everyone at the banquet is most concerned about. And the fight that happened in the stadium was, in the eyes of most people, actually without suspense.
Beigong Xiang is twenty-two years old this year, and he is a cultivator in the middle of the dawn. And Shi Zhiyi is only sixteen years old, and the cultivation he has revealed is only the peak of marrow washing. Between the two, there is a big realm and a small realm, no matter how you look at it, Shi Zhiyi is bound to lose, but it is just a time to lose.
This young man today is equivalent to exposing the conspiracy of the Beigong family, one of the eight great families, with his own strength, perhaps out of jealousy, resentment, and resentment that has been precipitated for nearly thirty years, most people in the banquet actually expect him to be defeated by Beigong Xiang, so as to kill his sharpness.
