In the palace of King Lu, there is a lively scene of bright lights and people coming and going.

Countless servants and others are sending all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies to the halls and halls like flowing water, and in front of the doors of the courtyards, there are already stewards of different statuses waiting for a few major guests to come to the door.

But the problem is that until now, the appointed time has passed, and there is still no guest from any of the three families. This made Ye Feng, the head of the palace, a little unbearable, and personally ran to the gate to inquire, but there was still no guest.

In the backyard study, King Lu couldn't calm down, and after pacing back and forth in the room for a while, he looked at Kong Wenxi on the side as if asking for help: "Mr. Kong, what do you say is going on?"

"Please don't be impatient, maybe they are just delayed on the way?" Kong Wenxi was obviously a little unrefreshed, but he still reluctantly smiled and replied, "Maybe they're almost there."

"And what if they don't come?" King Lu suffered from gains and losses for a while, and he and several henchmen had already set a strategy, and he would take the opportunity to provoke the conflict between the three parties at the banquet tonight, so as to strive for more benefits for himself.

But once people don't come, then all the arrangements will be in vain.

"No way, unless the three of them have already reached a tacit understanding. But if this were the case, they would not have sent envoys to Jeju one after another. So please don't worry, the matter is still under our control......" Kong Wenxi hurriedly said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of eager footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of slamming the door hard, and Ye Feng's somewhat flustered voice: "Lord Wang, something happened to those three families outside......

Kong Wenxi's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly got up and went over to open the door, letting people in: "Ye Changshi, what went wrong?"

"Three...... The three envoys were all assassinated on the way to the palace for the banquet......" I don't know if it was because of the shortness of breath caused by running in a hurry, or because he was overly frightened, Ye Feng was a little unfavorable when he spoke, and his face was even more pale.

When the two people in the room heard this, their expressions also changed suddenly, and they almost shouted in unison, "How is this possible!"

Being stared at by the two of them like this, Ye Feng swallowed his saliva nervously, and then slowed down his tone a little: "Lord, this matter is true, the minister is reporting from the command post when Jeju is guarding the yamen, and he is now leading people to guard all parts of the palace......

Kong Wenxi immediately understood the meaning of these words, this is because the garrison forces in the city are worried that there are assassins who will not be good for the prince, and it also proves the fact that the envoys of the three parties were assassinated together.

King Lu had completely stayed there at this time, and he couldn't even say a word. It was Kong Wenxi, who had recovered from the shock just now, and said urgently, "Are there any deaths or injuries among those three envoys and their people?"

It has already happened, and we can only hope that the consequences will not be so serious.

"Commander Shi didn't elaborate, and he only learned the information that the envoys of the three parties quickly retreated after being attacked. However, there were several corpses in the three places where the accident occurred, and there was a great amount of chaos, so the garrison yamen was worried that the palace would also be threatened, so he asked him to bring people to guard the palace, thinking that it would be unexpected."

"What about others? Let him come to see the prince too! Also, immediately send people to the residences of the three envoys, first, to offer condolences and check their casualties, and secondly, to inquire about their attitudes and thoughts!" Kong Wenxi quickly responded and commanded.

But Ye Feng didn't agree, just looked at King Lu, who was still sitting there, waiting for him to give an order.

After all, he Kong Wenxi is valued and trusted by the prince again, and he is still only a staff member in terms of status, and he has no right to give orders to a palace governor.

Kong Wenxi also quickly understood, and he didn't care about the etiquette of humility, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook in front of King Lu, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, Lord, the situation is urgent, it's not the time to worry about it!"

"Ah......" King Lu came back to his senses at this time, looked at Kong Wenxi with a stiff expression, then at Ye Feng, and finally said, "Ye Changshi, you can do what Mr. Kong wants."

"Yes, then the minister will arrange for the competent man and the minister to visit the three families separately. Please also ask the prince to relax, things should not reach the point of being out of control."

After King Lu nodded, Kong Wenxi added: "Let the garrison yamen, as well as other soldiers and horses in the city, all be dispatched to search the whole city, and we must catch those assassins, and we must catch them alive!" In order to clear the suspicion of the palace, the assassins must be arrested and given an explanation.

Ye Feng agreed again, and then hurried away. His expression was also quite nervous, and he didn't know whether Zhao Gongzi of the Pingtian Army he had taken refuge in was alive or dead, if he died, his future would be difficult to say.

So when he went out to convey Wang Yejun's order, he asked the other two to go to the Liangzhou army and the Guirong envoy respectively, and he went straight to the east of the city to see Zhao Qianzhe.

For a while, the entire palace swept away the previous lively and cheerful atmosphere, and became panicked, and the guards in the palace were all mobilized, guarding in the courtyards, and the soldiers and horses outside formed a heavy guard for the entire palace.

It was only at this time that King Lu slowly calmed down from his panicked emotions in Kong Wenxi's unrelenting comfort, but he still had words in his mouth: "How could such a thing happen? Who, exactly, did it? What shall we do?"

"Lord Wang, please relax, there is still a lot of room for redemption. As long as we find out the truth, catch the murderers, and give them a satisfactory answer, it will naturally no longer be a problem." Kong Wenxi persuaded again.

"Then what if you can't catch someone, and you can't find out who did it?" King Lu's eyes were worried, and he asked with difficulty.

Kong Wenxi also chuckled in his heart, if this is the case, I am afraid that this matter will be inseparable from the three families.

Because only if the three of them shouted to catch the thief, they could make these assassins disappear quickly in the fastest situation.

However, he didn't dare to say these words directly, so he could only euphemistically say, "This may be extremely small, our Jeju has always been well-defended these days, and the city gate has long been closed, so the assassins can't escape.

"And, I think, in fact, the identity of this assassin is easy to guess."

"Guess, who do you think is arranging this assassination?" new

"Whoever least wants the prince to do this is the one who is most likely to assassinate the envoys of the three families."

King Lu finally recovered at this time, his mind began to turn, and the expression on his face changed again when he heard this: "You mean, Xun Taishou, who has always wanted to compete with us for the initiative?"

Kong Wenxi's face turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Apart from him, the minister really can't think of a second more suspicious candidate for the main envoy."
