Chapter 31: The Assassin Escapes.

Chen Xujing came out of Shanglin Palace, and the sky was already bright.

His subordinates were waiting outside, and when they saw that his face was not good, they asked, "My lord, but the emperor has embarrassed you?" ”

Since that incident happened three years ago, the relationship between the Lord and the Emperor has not been very harmonious.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for the emperor's memory of his friendship with adults from childhood to adulthood, now adults wouldn't be able to sit in the position of the commander of the forbidden army.

Therefore, Chen Xujing's repeated thin ice is understood by everyone around him.

Chen Xujing's face was expressionless, he didn't want to say these things at all, so he changed the topic and asked, "Have you found any clues?" ”

"After receiving the news, my subordinates took people to check some of the movements in the vicinity last night, but they didn't find anything, but there was news from the Hou Mansion of Kagura that last night, the Hou Mansion was assassinated." When Deputy Li Ping said this, his small eyes narrowed, and the essence of the light burst out.

Chen Xujing also seemed to feel something unusual, and asked coldly: "Who did the assassin assassinate?" Can you catch an assassin? ”

"Didn't catch it."

Li Ping shook his head regretfully, but soon, he said mysteriously: "My lord, do you know? Last night, the assassin assassinated the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion who had just returned from Chuzhou, you know, the emperor ......"

Chen Xujing glanced at Li Ping with sharp eyes, and Li Ping immediately took back the words behind him.

It was not a matter of a day or two that the emperor wanted to kill this young lady.

Chen Xujing's eyes were deep and he took a few steps forward, and the heavy armor on his body collided together, making a dull sound.

He looked at the lanterns in the courtyard, squinted his eyes and said: "It seems that in three years, too many things can really be changed, the emperor sent more than a dozen groups of people to kill an unarmed woman, and now, this incident has happened again, I vaguely feel that it is not accidental." ”

"Your Excellency is saying that this matter has something to do with her?" Li Ping leaned in and asked.

Chen Xujing's face condensed, and he slowly opened his mouth: "Go check and see what she has done in Chuzhou in the past three years, and when she comes back, who is the person who escorts her, I will find an appropriate time to meet her." ”

"My subordinates will go and investigate."

Li Ping took the order and went down, Chen Xujing walked through the long Yongxiang alone, there was white snow on the top of the red wall, he always remembered that the woman at that time liked to shuttle in the red wall and white snow on snowy days.

It's breathtaking!

Are you back?

In the early afternoon, the snow began to fall heavily, and as far as the eye could see, the entire Kagura Mansion was covered in snow and frost, and the scenery was quiet and beautiful.

When Ji Chengye led Chen Xujing, who came to visit Ji Honggu, to the Painting Bone Xuan, Ge Yue was boiling medicine for Wanyun.

Seeing that it was Ji Chengye, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "See your lord." ”

"Where's the eldest lady?" Ji Chengye waved his hand to make Ge Yue get up, and asked directly.

Ge Yue was puzzled, this person usually ignores the girl, but today is good, he came over in person, and the cold-faced and cold-eyed man next to him, she recognizes!

The portrait of this person appears in the girl's "strangulation order", then, it is also the girl's old friend.

She quietly took her eyes off Chen Xujing's body and replied appropriately: "The girl went out, she said that she would not come back for many years, and she wanted to worship the Buddha in the temple and beg for peace." ”

"Which monastery? Why don't you go along? Ji Chengye's face was not very good.

When Lord Dutong came to her, she didn't think it was a good thing, but now that she is not there, she is going to be angry when she touches this Lord Dutong.
