Seeing everyone looking, Tang Yan looked at the needle sac in his hand carefully, as if he was counting the number of poisonous needles in the room, and then he was sure again: "That's right, it's just that there are seven missing."

"My Tang Sect Soul Snatcher Needle has always been one hundred and eight pieces, and the hall master is even more proficient in this, and he will shoot all the Soul Snatching Needles with all his strength!

"And now, there are only one hundred and one needles here, but there are seven missing!"

Yan Yingjie frowned when he heard this: "You mean to say that it is likely that the seven poisonous needles were shot at the murderer?" ”

"Exactly, the hall master is extremely strong, and his secret weapon kung fu is among the top ten in my Tang Sect, as long as he makes a move, almost no one can completely dodge the attack. So it is only natural that the murderer was injured by the needle! Tang Yan replied extremely decisively.

The others were thoughtful, and then exchanged glances with each other, and they all understood the key.

Yan Yinghao said directly: "Then this murderer is easy to find, as long as you find someone who has been poisoned, there is no doubt that the murderer!" ”

"Yes, if you want to kill my Tang Sect, how can the murderer easily succeed, he will definitely pay the heaviest price!" Tang Feng also followed, and then looked at Yan Baichuan, "Lord Yanbao, please also call the upper and lower people to see who is not there, or who is poisoned!" ”

Yan Baichuan nodded immediately, and now things have become simpler.

He immediately turned around and instructed Yan Yinghao: "Just do what they say, gather everyone in our Yanjia Fort, and see if anyone suddenly disappears." Don't hide anything, do it quickly. ”

"Yes, boy, I'll make arrangements." Yan Yinghao was also in good spirits, and immediately went to gather people and then passed on the order.

The others were invited to sit in the hall of the Yan Mansion and wait for further feedback.

Sun Ning and Xiao Qian naturally went to the hall like them, and while waiting, everyone was discussing with each other, guessing why this murder happened and who had the ability to kill a Tang Sect master silently.

Xiao Qian was not exempt from vulgarity, and asked Sun Ning's opinion at this time: "You have carefully examined the corpse, have you found anything?" ”

"I've mentioned a lot of things in public, but there's only one suspicion, and I just had concerns about it, so it's hard to say."

"What is it?"

"The deceased's entire face has been shattered, and it is difficult to truly confirm his identity as Tang Lie."

Xiao Qian's eyebrows suddenly raised, and she immediately understood the meaning of his words: "Are you suspicious that death is not Tang Lie at all?" Who would that be? And, what is it for? ”

"That's what I thought, there is no more evidence and clues.

"But if you think about it, is this kind of murder scene really reasonable?

"Even if there is a big grudge, I feel that killing him is cheap, and if he wants to destroy his body to vent his anger, then it is just enough to disembowel him, or even cut out his heart and abdomen and cut off his limbs...... But what's the deal with smashing its entire head to pieces? ”

Xiao Qian thought about it carefully, and felt that his concerns were indeed reasonable: "So you want to come, this is just to make people unable to confirm the appearance of the deceased, even if it is not Tang Lie, as long as they insist on it, they can make everyone believe that this is Tang Lie?" ”

Speaking of this, her eyes lit up even more: "If this is the case, then the murderer is likely to be the most angry Tang Sect people!" ”

Thinking of Tang Lie's proposal and encounter with them at the birthday banquet yesterday, Xiao Qian even figured out the motive: "They want to use this as a handle to take advantage of Yanjiabao, so that they can only agree to the Tang Gate's invitation to raise troops, and even become a vassal of the Tang Gate?" ”

Sun Ning nodded: "This is a possibility." Another possibility is that the Tang Sect will use this as an excuse to directly send troops and completely engulf Yanjiabao. ”

Whether it is officialdom or rivers and lakes, if you really want to make a big move, the side that takes the initiative to provoke the war will always have to come up with a suitable reason. As the so-called name is right, you can work together and get a lot of help.

Xiao Qian lowered her head again and groaned, and after a while, she nodded: "With my understanding of the Tang Sect, they may really take this opportunity to enter and exit Xiangxi!" ”

"Yes, whether Tang Lie is dead or not, whether he was killed by the Yan family or not, if the Tang Sect really has the intention of annexing the Yan family, this is the best opportunity."

Sun Ning had a sneer on his face: "After all, if the power of Sichuan and Shu wants to enter the Central Plains, Xiangxi is a pass that cannot be bypassed by land." As far as Jiabao is concerned, as a big force in Xiangxi, once they are swallowed, it means that half of Xiangxi's martial arts will also be in their hands! ”

After saying this, the two have come to a conclusion, I am afraid that Tang Lie's death is just the beginning, just the prelude to the next battle.

This made the two of them look at each other, and they both saw a deep uneasiness in their respective eyes.

"So what do we do?" Xiao Qian pondered for a while, and then asked Sun Ning again.

Yes, what should they do in this situation?

They are not from Yanjiabao, in fact, it is the wisest choice to leave at this time.

Otherwise, when the follow-up attack of the Tang Gate is launched, a large number of people will be really sent to block Yanjiabao, and even the entire Yanzhou, and there will really be a conflict, and it will be too dangerous to leave.

However, with the friendship between the two and Yan Yifei, they can't just pat their butts and leave after noticing that the situation is not good, right? That's too inauthentic, too unrighteous, right?

Sun Ning, on the other hand, thought even deeper-Xiangxi, he didn't want to fall into the hands of the unstable factor of Tangmen.

He still remembers clearly, in the overall plan proposed by Shen Zhou for his restoration of the country, he mentioned entering Sichuan and Shu, using it as a foundation to recuperate, accumulate strength, and then take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to fight back.

Although later due to various changes, Sun Ning, the emperor, was exiled and became incognito in the rivers and lakes. But his ambition has not been completely wiped out, and he still wants to get back on track.

And now, the sudden rise of the Tang Sect obviously has a huge impact on Sun Ning's plan.

If you want to deal with the Tang Gate, go to Sichuan and Shu, and go to their lair to fight, it is naturally better to fight in Xiangxi, in Yanzhou, with the help of the local forces' Yanjiabao!

Seeing that Sun Ning was silent for a while, Xiao Qian first kept quiet.

But after a while, she finally couldn't hold it back: "I thought we shouldn't run away, but should join forces with the Yan family to help them get through this!" ”

"Oh......" Sun Ning glanced at her thoughtfully, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in her heart, Xiao Qian seemed to be deliberately hiding something from herself.

But before he could react next, the outside was already lively, causing everyone in the hall to get up and walk out to see what was going on.

Monday.... Asking for a ticket!!!
