Chapter 118: Disappearing Out of Thin Air

Seeing this, Xiao Chi hurriedly said: "I have no intention of using people in the racecourse as bait. ”

or was beaten by Jiang Cheng before, or the eldest princess and the prince had already been scolded once.

Seeing Shen Ke's face gloomy at this moment, he took the lead in explaining before he could open his mouth to question Xiao Chi, "Those assassins were not driven here by me, but they came before I got the news, and they had already mixed into the horse farm when I came with people. ”

"Lord Shen also knows what people are in the racecourse, whether it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the eldest princess, I will never dare to risk them."

Xiao Chi said in a deep voice: "I thought that the purpose of those people was His Royal Highness the Prince, so I sent people to guard in front of the racecourse, as long as they dared to make a move, they would definitely be able to arrest people, and they would never hurt His Royal Highness the Prince, but who would have thought that the purpose of those people was not His Royal Highness the Prince......"

Bai Jinyuan: Their injuries were also unexpected by Xiao Chi.

Shen Ke almost instantly grasped the point of Xiao Chi's words: "Why did Jing Anbo decide that the target of those people was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the first place?" And since you got the news and can lead people over, those thieves are the people you have been hunting for a long time, and Jing Anbo knows their identities? ”

Xiao Chi was a little surprised by the sharpness of the person in front of him, but he didn't hide it: "This is what I want to tell Lord Shen alone, Lord Shen should know about the killing of Lang Ke, the leader of Shuozhou, right?" ”

Shen's face changed slightly.

Xiao Chi said: "Lang Ke as a Shuozhou general, and His Majesty personally appointed, he was intercepted and killed to set off a storm that spread throughout Shuozhou City, after Lang Ke died, His Majesty has been ordering people to investigate this matter, but Shuozhou is under the control of King Xiling, and the people who went to investigate have been secretly blocked, and then the arsenal in Beijing was stolen, and those thieves under the investigation were the same people who intercepted and killed Lang Ke. ”

"Because I have been in Shuozhou for many years and have fought with those thieves, Your Majesty asked me to investigate this matter with Jinlinwei."

Shen was thoughtful: "So the people who are doing it at the racecourse today are the same people who intercepted and killed Lord Lang in the first place?" ”

"It should be."

Xiao Chi said, "Those people are all dead soldiers who have been raised, and the style of behavior and the poison they took to commit suicide are the same as the people who intercepted and killed Lang Ke in the first place, and each of them is disfigured and difficult to identify, and the short crossbows they use are also from the same batch. ”

It was precisely because of this that when he first learned the news, he thought that those people were coming for the crown prince or the eldest princess.

Shen Ke's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, he understood what Xiao Chi meant, but because he understood it, his doubts were deeper.

Lang Ke's death, he and his grandfather had suspected that it was related to King Xiling, and Emperor Tianqing was even more suspicious of the remains of Princess Yongzhao, but whether it was King Xiling or the people from the princess's mansion, they would never murder the prince and the eldest princess, in other words, if Xiao Chi was really chasing the person who murdered Lang Ke in the first place, those people would never come to the racecourse for the prince and them.

But apart from the crown prince, who in this horse farm can "attract" them so much?

Bai Jinyuan?

No way......

Even if King Kang's Mansion joined forces with Xiao Chitose in the dream realm, it was not exposed at this time, and King Kang would not reveal his ambition until much later, and even if King Kang's Mansion caused any trouble, those people would not find Bai Jinyuan, a useless nephew.

So what else in this horse farm attracts those people?

Could it be Xue Nuo?

Shen Ke had a moment of suspicion in his mind that fell on Xue Nuo, and even suspected that those people were coming for Xue Nuo, but Xue Nuo had been with him since he entered Beijing from Yanling, even if she had something to hide and deceive him, it would not alarm others.

If the person who did it today was really the person of King Xiling or the remnant of Princess Yongzhao, how could he hurt Xue Chen's person? But if she came to find Xue Nuo, or joined forces with her, how could she kill her.

That arrow almost killed Xue Nuo.

Shen Ke's heart was a little confused for a while, and he always felt as if he had neglected something, but he couldn't find the thread for a while.

Xiao Chi saw that Shen was staring and didn't speak, he said directly: "At the moment, I don't know what those people came to the racecourse for, but obviously they didn't come for His Royal Highness the Prince, so I want to ask Lord Shen, have you fought with those people after entering the forest before?" ”

Shen shook his head: "No." ”

Seeing Xiao Chi looking at him with some suspicion, he said, "I didn't see anyone else when I was in the forest, and then those people also hid in the dark when they started, and after Arnold blocked an arrow for me, the three of us fell directly off the cliff, and I didn't even see the person who did it in the process." ”

"Then Lord Shen has had a feud with someone recently?"

Shen laughed bitterly when he heard this: "I don't know how to answer what Jing Anbo asked. ”

"You should have heard about my previous trip to Jiangnan, if you want to talk about revenge, I don't know how many people I offended after the Cao Yun incident, and there are countless resentments from the living and dead, but everyone is an official in the court, even if there is resentment, they will not take such a big risk to send the dead to do it."

When Xiao Chi heard this, he remembered the biggest incident in Beijing during this time, and he was a little speechless for a while.

This Shen Changyuan set up a stall of Caoyun, implicating at least more than ten courtiers from top to bottom, and there are countless minions below, although the later things have nothing to do with him, but if he hadn't taken the account book of the Hu family, he wouldn't have been able to make so many things later, don't you know how many people want his life?

There are only many people in the DPRK who want to do it or secretly conspire and scheming, and it is really rare to send people to intercept and kill them so blatantly.

Xiao Chi frowned: "Then Lord Shen still thinks there is anything wrong?" ”

There must be something wrong, such as Xue Nuo, and then Bai Jinyuan, and there is a vague suspicion in his heart, but there are some things that he can't tell others, if Xiao Chi knows this, the relationship between Xue Nuo and Xue Chen alone can make her die without a place to be buried.

Shen shook his head: "It's really not, I care more about the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince than my uncle, and my sister and I almost died today, if I know anything, I won't hide it from my uncle." ”

When Xiao Chi came to ask Shen Qi, he didn't have much hope, and sighed when he heard it.

Shen asked rhetorically: "Since Uncle has been prepared for a long time, didn't he catch it alive?" ”

Xiao Chi was angry when he said this, he was tall and big, and when he sat on the low stool, he felt that his legs were a little nowhere to put it, so he simply straightened the urn and said: "These people are very slippery, I caught one and committed suicide before I had time to ask, and the others all ran away." ”

"Didn't Uncle surround the horse farm?"

Xiao Chi said indignantly: "It's strange because it's surrounded, obviously the entire vicinity of the horse farm is surrounded by people from the Soldiers and Horses Division, and there are people guarding the official road and the nearby woods outside, but those people are like disappearing, and they are inexplicably gone." ”
