Chapter 45: The Beginning
Since Xia Fan left Wanyang.
Leng Yan has been silently waiting for the other party's return.
She knows.
Xia Fan will definitely come back.
But it may not come back openly.
In order to avoid Xia Fan not being able to contact him at that time.
So Leng Yan will take time to visit this humble house every night.
What Xia Fan can think of, cold smoke can naturally think of.
But Leng Yan thought more comprehensively, basically there were people she arranged where Xia Fan had left footprints in Wanyang.
As long as he emerges.
Leng Yan received the message immediately.
Just before she entered, she had noticed a small mechanism on the door that was touching.
This is no doubt a sign that someone has entered the room.
In the beginning.
She didn't dare to conclude that Xia Fan had come.
But she didn't expect that she was just a little tentative.
Xia Fan really appeared.
Sure enough.
After she saw Xia Fan's unfamiliar appearance, she immediately confirmed her guess.
"Let's talk about it, what happened to Wanyang in the days I left Wanyang?"
Xia Fan didn't have the time to talk to the cold smoke and catch up with the old days, so he got straight to the point.
"The Cloud Sky Hall sent five grandmasters to Wanyang, and at the same time, a secret decree came from the capital to withdraw the army. β
Leng Yan hurriedly explained.
β...... That's a lot of information in just one sentence!"
Xia Fan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"You might as well tell me more about it. β
"Yes, Childe. β
Immediately.
The cold smoke began to tell in great detail, and Xia Fan gradually fell into deep thought.
If it can be summed up in four words.
The court was instigated.
The problem is that the imperial court is too simple, right?
Didn't you say that you were going to die to the end? Why did you bow your head and admit it in a blink of an eye?
What about your backbone? Have you let the dogs eat it?
"I want to know, what exactly does it mean over there?"
Xia Fan ignored the Yunxiao Hall for the time being, isn't it just five grandmasters, just pull a piece casually.
What he wondered was whether the imperial court's withdrawal was really due to pressure from the Cloud Palace?
You said that the withdrawal of the imperial court was under a secret order.
But what is the content of the secret decree, you should make it clear!
"Hui Gongzi, as far as the slave family knows, it seems that something happened to His Majesty. Leng Yan said without concealment. That's why the capital hurriedly recalled the army. β
"Huh, the emperor is dead?" said Xia Fan with a stunned face.
"......" Leng Yan's face stiffened slightly. "Returning to the prince, Your Majesty has not returned to heaven, but Your Majesty's current dragon body is not very good......"
"Oh, that means I'm going to die at any time?" Xia Fan said thoughtfully. "But why does he have to die at such a time?"
β...... The slave family doesn't know. Leng Yan lowered his head and said in silence for a moment.
"There are quirks. β
Xia Fan muttered to himself.
"Don't you believe it?" said the cold flue.
"Nonsense. "Xia Fan didn't have a good airway. "As soon as the people from the Cloud Hall came, you immediately said that your emperor was going to die and rushed back to mourn, no matter how you look at it, it looks like an excuse!"
"There are some things that Childe may not know. Leng Yan said with a heavy face. "There may indeed be an accident in the capital. β
"What's the matter?" Xia Fan said casually.
"Your Majesty is suspected of being murdered, and the Seventh Prince intends to take over the palace!" Leng Yan gritted his teeth.
"Oh. β
Xia Fan's reaction was rather cold.
"Isn't Childe strange?" Leng Yan was stunned. "After all, this matter may be related to the death of Xuan Zhenzi and Xuan Yangzi. β
"Then you said it earlier. Xia Fan suddenly perked up. "Tell me what's going on. β
"Now Si Li suspects that the imperial court did not collude with the Forgotten Soul Sect, but it was someone else who colluded with the Forgotten Soul Sect. Cold smoke took a deep breath. "And this person is very likely to be the Seventh Prince or the Duke of Wei, their purpose is to use the Yunxiao Palace to solve the army led by the Duke of Wei, because the Duke of Wei is the prince's greatest reliance, once the Duke of Wei Guo falls, the prince will not be able to compete with the Seven Princes for the throne. β
"Do you remember Lord Duan Zongbi?"
"Lord Duan Zongbi and Wei Guogong have always been good friends, and it is very likely that they are the Seven Princes and a party. β
Therefore, Si Li has reason to suspect that the accident in Wanyang is related to this seizure of the heir. β
"It's a bit complicated. β
Xia Fan touched his chin and said.
"One more thing. The cold smoke took a deep breath. Ning Duo appeared. β
"Huh?" Xia Fan stared sharply at the cold smoke. "Where is she?"
"Returning to Gongzi, after you left Wanyang, Ning Duo took the initiative to show up and meet with the slave family, and then there was no news. β
Feeling the coercion that Xia Fan inadvertently exuded, the cold smoke couldn't help but tremble.
"What is she looking for you for?"
Xia Fan asked.
"She'......"
Leng Yan hurriedly recounted the conversation between the two that day to Xia Fan.
"Duan Zongbi is a member of the Soul Forgetting Sect, and he has always been by Su Yunxiao's side?"
Xia Fan pondered carefully what Ning Duo had said.
So to speak.
Could it be that this Duan Zongbi was the one who disguised Su Yunxiao at the beginning?
Here's the problem.
How did he kill Xuanyangzi in such a short period of time?
After all, Xuanyangzi seriously injured him earlier, and he couldn't be Xuanyangzi's opponent when he was fighting alone.
Unlessβ
He has helpers.
At least one Grandmaster Helper!
He remembered.
When Gen Zhenzi died, there was still a trace of anger and disbelief on his face.
This shows that the person who killed him must be someone known to Xuanyangzi.
Night.
Who did Xuanyangzi see?
"Childe, now do you also believe that Lord Duan Zongbi is a member of the Soul Forgetting Sect?"
Leng Yan looked at Xia Fan nervously and said in a low voice.
"It's still a little weird. Xia Fan frowned. "Why did she tell you these things? Doesn't this make Lao Tzu believe that Su Yunxiao colluded with the Soul Forgetting Sect?"
"Childe, this is also the place where the slave family is confused. Leng Yan said softly. It was as if the other party wanted to splash all the dirty water on Su Yunxiao. β
"It's like planting a blame for Lao Tzu in the first place. β
Xia Fan slowly stretched his brows, and an intriguing smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly.
Xia Fan was silent, and instantly jumped onto the beam of the house and hidden.
The cold smoke was unknown on the spot.
Soon.
She understood what was going on.
Someone's coming.
Knock Knock Knock β
There was a knock on the door.
"What?"
Leng Yan subconsciously sat up straight.
"My lord, there is an urgent information just sent from the government office!"
Outside the door.
The familiar voice of a handmaiden sounded.
"What urgent information?"
Leng Yan said in a solemn tone.
"Xuan Kuizi of the Cloud Hall is dead. β
"What?!"
This time.
Leng Yan couldn't sit still anymore and rushed out the door.
"Tell me!
She stared at the servant girl in front of her.
Soon after Xuan Kuizi left Wanyang, he was ambushed by an unknown person on the outskirts of the city and died on the spot, and later the woodcutter who went out of the city to cut wood found his body, and finally reported it to the rescue army, Gu Xiqiao identified the identity of the other party, and Su Yunxiao only knew about Xuan Kuizi's death. β
