Di Yuan stood under the porch of the study, just at the junction of the dazzling sunlight outside the door and the shadows inside, so that half of his body was gilded, and the other half was pitch black. Yan Chen stood in the shadow of the corridor, as if he was one with the shadow, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"What happened to Wei Boyu?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, the blade passed through the chest and hurt the lungs, but fortunately, his subordinates found it early and picked up his life, but he still didn't wake up. Yan Chen replied in the shadows.

"Do you think it's possible that he deliberately self-harmed?"

Yan Chen was silent, obviously surprised by this question, and only replied after a moment: "From the perspective of sword piercing, it is not impossible. But with such a serious injury, even a few of his followers did not survive, and his subordinates felt that if it was really designed by Wei Boyu himself, it would inevitably be too ......."

"If that's the case, then this person should be really ruthless. Di Yuan's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see his thoughts.

Yan Chen didn't speak in the shadows, and after a while, Di Yuan said again: "Whether this Wei Boyu was really attacked or self-harmed to cover up people's eyes, it is always a fact that someone broke into the other garden that night. How did you make such a mistake?"

Yan Chen lowered his head and replied respectfully: "It was a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, but the Hou Ye instructed his subordinates to pay attention to who Wei Boyu interacted with, and the subordinates didn't expect that someone would deliberately attack at night, but someone secretly colluded with Wei Boyu, so that day the subordinates fought with one person, and deliberately put the other person in." It's just that the person who fought with his subordinates was good, and his subordinates barely had the upper hand to fight with him with internal strength, and his subordinates couldn't get out of the way for a while, and they couldn't find out the purpose of the person in time, and when the subordinates arrived, it was already too late, and they asked Hou Ye to atone for their sins. ”

"Who can fight with you for so long and still get out of the way? Di Yuan's voice was a little puzzled.

"This person's internal strength is not strong, and his body is vigorous, and he should have practiced external skills all year round, and he has already achieved a small success. It's just that the blade is a little weird, and my internal strength can't really hurt him, otherwise I wouldn't have fought for so long. ”

Di Yuan faced the sunlight and muttered in a low voice. Yan Chen asked, "Does Master Hou have a clue?"

"There are doubters, but they can't be sure. ”

Yan Chen didn't take the initiative to ask, he had long been accustomed to Di Yuan's temperament, and he didn't like to be asked, if he had something to say, he would naturally take the initiative to say it. Sure enough, after a while, Di Yuan continued: "Ben Hou has already inquired, at the time of the incident, Suo Pingzhang was not in the mansion, and he didn't return until late at night, and he didn't bring anyone with him. It's a bit of a weirdness. ”

"Hou Ye suspects that it is General Suo's person, when did General Suo have a grudge against Wei Boyu?"

"The matter of abandoning the temple that day has still not come to fruition, thinking that someone is hiding a private army in Shajiang City, it is like a thorn in Ben Hou's heart. Suo Pingzhang has always been close to Yun Hao's kid, if the abandoned temple is really related to Yun Hao, this stay in Shajiang City may really have something to do with Yun Hao's kid's private army. If the people of Yunzhou saw something that day, it would be difficult to guarantee that he wanted to kill people. As he spoke, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Yan Chen felt a slight chill, he had been following Di Yuan for a long time, and in Di Yuan's words just now, it was clear that he had already moved his murderous intent. Di Yunhao doesn't care, and Yan Chen also knows a little about the relationship between Suo Pingzhang and Di Yuan. Di Yuan's strict requirements for his children are well known, but he didn't expect Di Yuan to really have murderous intentions towards his own son.

Just now, Di Yuan also said that Wei Boyu was ruthless, but if it comes to being ruthless, Di Yuan himself is probably not far behind.

"Then Master Hou...... Do you need to call General Suo for questioning?" Yan Chen asked tentatively.

Di Yuan shook his head lightly: "No hurry." This kid is deep in thought, but he is very similar to Yun Hao. These days, the person who called you keeps a close eye on his mansion, and he has to report to me any actions he makes. ”

"Yes. Yan Chen nodded slightly, and asked again: "Hou Ye, the courtiers who are close to the eldest prince have been quite excluded these days, and one of them even died violently at home. Shouldn't it be ......?"

"It doesn't matter. Ben Hou naturally knows what Hui'er means, and Ben Hou's two sons have been fighting each other for some time, so let them fight by themselves, and they can also find out the details of the two sides for Ben Hou. As long as there are no huge changes, there is no need for Benhou to intervene. Di Yuan sneered, "It's just that I want to cultivate wings behind my back and sharpen my sword secretly, but it's also a fantasy." Ben Hou's great cause has not been accomplished, but he is not in a hurry to give way!"

......

Rain was floating in the sky, and waves were tumbling in the East China Sea, pushing a huge merchant ship. The merchant ship rose and fell in the waves, but showed no signs of toppling, and still approached the shore steadily.

The merchant ship was only a few miles away from the shore, but in Fengyang Harbor in Dongliu City, nearly a thousand people, led by Fang Hui and Hong Chuang, were hiding in the shadows, holding swords and bows and arrows, and they were all staring at the merchant ship. This merchant ship is huge, and there are not many places that can dock and enter the port, and Fengyang Port is just enough to welcome a merchant ship of this size, and this is also the closest place where the merchant ship can land. It's not that Fang Hui and the others happened to meet, in fact, Fang Hui has arranged manpower in various ports in Qingzhou, no matter which direction this merchant ship appears from, he can send people to intercept it in time. It's just that there are sharks in this sea area near the coast, and Fang Hui led a group of elites to guard here.

"I went to sea from Fengyang Port that day, and I want to come back today, grandpa really has a beginning and an end!" Fang Hui ignored the rain on his face and showed a shallow sneer.

There are still some mermaids jumping in the sea, but there are still many fewer than in previous days. As the merchant ships approached, the mermaids avoided them and swam farther out into the sea. Ordinary ships will never make the sharks so afraid, in the East China Sea, ocean-going ships can occasionally see sharks surfaced, like a dragon out of the sea, which is also a landscape. But the merman in front of him was afraid to avoid it, indicating that there must be something strange on this ship.

Therefore, Fang Hui was even more convinced that Wei Zhuoxi was on this merchant ship. At this time, the merchant ship was gradually approaching, and Fang Hui's palms were sweating.

A few days ago, the Desert Wolf Battalion in Shajiang City had already approached the city, and both Xiao Mu and Fang Hui tacitly collected their troops and returned to the city, leaving the huge middle of the two states to the Desert Wolf Battalion. The Desert Wolf Battalion was stationed a few miles outside Dongliu City, and only sent a few waves of people to attack the city to test it, but it only had little effect, and it also made Fang Hui sneer at the name of the Desert Wolf Battalion's "Longyuan First Army". Although Fang Hui didn't know what he had to do with Shajiang City, he saw that Wei Zhuoxi's third son, Wei Shuxun, was also in the army, and expected that this matter was related to Yunzhou.

The alliance between Dongliu City and Yunzhou has always been ghostly, and Fang Hui didn't believe that Wei Zhuoxi was completely unaware of his small actions. Now that Wei Shuxun is openly following the soldiers of Shajiang City, Yunzhou may be about to turn around. Fang Hui was faintly aware of this momentum, but since they were only pressing outside the city and had no great achievements, Fang Hui only sent soldiers to pay attention to the movements outside the city and strengthen the troops defending the city, but his own attention was more focused on the East China Sea. Even if Yunzhong City has fallen now, Xiao Mujiu occupies the magpie's nest, and most of the Yunzhou army is scattered, he is still deeply afraid of what Wei Zhuoxi has in his hands.

By this time the big ship had come to shore, and the stairs and ropes had been dropped from one side of the ship's side, and someone slowly descended from the merchant ship and landed in the dock.

From such a distance, Fang Hui couldn't see the faces of the people who came down and down the ship, so he had to squint his eyes and wait patiently, not daring to startle the snake, his personal guard Hong Chuang was bored on the side, holding a grass root, playing with his steel knife, drooping his eyelids, and not looking at the merchant ship.

More than a dozen people disembarked from this ship, and in groups of two or three people, they carried several large boxes and carried them off the ship. This box is very large, even as big as a coffin, and from a long distance, Fang Hui can vaguely see that there is water swinging out of this big box during the walk, in addition, each big box is also wrapped with thick chains, and it has been circled around the box a few times, but after such a distance, Fang Hui can still smell the faint strange aroma sent by the wind.

This thing looked quite strange, Fang Hui's pupils contracted suddenly, and he had already guessed what was in these more than ten boxes. He muttered secretly in his heart, Wei Zhuoxi deliberately brought back so many sharks, is it really for the Four Spirits Festival? Thinking like this, his killing intent was even stronger in his heart. This aroma must also be a means of restraining the merman, otherwise the iron chain will not be able to trap the merman, no wonder the merman in the sea did not dare to approach before.

Today, there must be no mistakes!

When the men carrying several large boxes left the merchant ship, they beckoned the shipwrights to help them unload their cargo. The few people who came down from the merchant ship were just ordinary laborers, with muscular arms and dark skin, and Wei Zhuoxi would not be mixed in them. Fang Hui's heart became more and more anxious, staring at the exit of the merchant ship, just waiting for someone to come out.

Finally, after a while, three or four more people came out of this huge merchant ship, the first one was dressed in a dark crane, and his face was covered by a high collar. This person is burly, but similar to Wei Zhuoxi.

Fang Hui resisted the urge to rush out with his own people, worried that something would happen if he waited a little longer. But at last he endured, and waited until the three or four new men came out of the dock and stood still, and seemed to watch with great interest as the boatmen loaded the large boxes taken from the ship onto the wagon.

Fang Hui's heart was itching, and he finally waved his hand and shouted, "Go!"

The crowd of people hiding in the shadows poured out, and the black pressure surrounded them from all directions, and the person dressed in the crane seemed to be very panicked, and several people were quickly restrained by Fang Hui's men one by one. Fang Hui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he let go of his hanging heart for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the few people who came down after this were all empty-handed, if there was really Wei Zhuoxi among these people, how could he let the deadliest thing be left outside?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked out of the hiding place, followed by Hong Chuang. He walked up to the man in the crane and lifted his hood.

Fang Hui looked at the unfamiliar face under the hood in surprise and scolded, "Who are you?"
