Under Sun Ning's attitude, Sun Xian could only give up his illusions in the end.

In fact, after his plan to join forces with Guo Rin failed, he already knew what kind of fate he would be.

It was only because of the desire for life and the fear of death that he deceived himself to this day.

And now, even the possibility of deceiving himself does not exist, so he can only choose to commit suicide, just as he chose to become a puppet and be used by Guo Yan.

After all, he had no other choice.

As a saying in later generations said, if he accepts decency, Sun Ning will make him decent; And if he doesn't want to be decent, Sun Ning will also ask people to help him be decent.

In that case, it is better to kill yourself.

As for what he thought and said before he died, no one cared.

On the morning of the next day, after Sun Ning woke up, a courtier came to report: "Your Majesty, the puppet emperor Sun Xian was found guilty of suicide in his bedroom early this morning, and he has been angry for a long time. ”

"Oh?" Sun Ning sighed lightly with emotion: "Why is he doing this? Sun Xian is my only brother, and I never thought of taking his life because of his thoughts. Hey, it's a pity......"

After a pause, he said with regret: "Spread my will, bury him thickly, and bury him outside Liangzhou City with the specifications of the prince." As for his guards, he punished them with half a year's wages as an example. ”

With a few words of understatement, the matter was revealed.

No one would care too much about Sun Xian's sudden suicide, even if he had been the emperor for half a year. After all, in this troubled world, too many people are precarious, and accidents may occur at any time, and there is no more of him.

As for those who can guess that Sun Xian's death has nothing to do with Sun Ning, it is even more impossible to make any comments on this.

Even his own siblings can be eliminated, and the emperor naturally can't mind disposing of a few more disobedient guys.

It can be said that Sun Xian's death really helped Sun Ning, at least for those officials who surrendered, his death made them completely vigilant, and then they became extremely careful in both doing and speaking, and never dared to have any other thoughts.

In this way, in the next two days, everything in Liangzhou will be back on track, and it won't be long before it can even become the same as before, becoming one of the few prosperous cities in the Central Plains.

At least that's what everyone thinks until another person's death appears.

Then, the news of Guo Yan's death was suddenly reported to Sun Ning!

It was early in the morning of the fourth day after they entered the city, and Sun Ning was even asleep when someone knocked on the door and woke him up, and then he learned such amazing news.

The news was so sudden that he stayed for a long time before he confirmed that he was not in a dream, but that it was true.

"Let's go, let's see." After Sun Ning was dressed neatly, he quickly went out.

Guo Yan's sudden death had a huge impact on him, the imperial court, and the entire Liangzhou.

In Sun Ning's original plan, Guo Yan was certainly going to die, but he must not die too quickly, at least until the power of the imperial court completely took Liangzhou, and he could not die silently.

But now it's good, they have only been in Liangzhou for a few days, and the impact is far from enough, so he suddenly died?

"How did he die?"

Before coming to the courtyard where Guo Yan lived, Sun Ning remembered the key point and asked the courtiers who accompanied him.

The official's face was full of bitterness and surprise: "Back to Your Majesty, he is ...... He was assassinated! ”

"What!" Even with Sun Ning's current city mansion bearing, after hearing such an answer, his color changed.

He thought that Guo Yan died suddenly because of his aggravated illness and depressed mood.

If this is the case, although his death is surprising, it is somewhat reasonable and must be within the controllable range.

But the current fact is that he was assassinated.

In Guo Yan's own backyard, when Sun Ning's army was stationed in it, half-protected and half-guarded, he was actually assassinated?!

This matter will be spread out, I am afraid that no one will believe that Guo Yan's death has nothing to do with the imperial court, and everyone will believe that this is Sun Ning, and it is the means of the imperial court to cross the river and demolish the bridge after taking Liangzhou City, and cook the rabbit and the dog.

And what will his death bring to Liangzhou City, which has finally stabilized?

Thinking of this, Sun Ning was suddenly excited, and a strong sense of uneasiness quickly surged into his heart.

"Let's go take a look." After pondering for a long time, Sun Ning finally decided to go to see Guo Yan's body first, hoping to find clues and find out the truth.

At this time, this courtyard was already surrounded by Dayue soldiers and horses, and even a fly did not want to enter and exit easily.

After seeing Sun Ning's arrival, some of the generals showed even more panic, and knelt down one after another to plead guilty: "It was the ministers who did not do their jobs well, and they actually let Guo Yan be killed, and please punish Your Majesty severely......"

Sun Ning only waved his hand at him casually, and without saying anything, he had already entered the bedroom that was also guarded by many people.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw the figure sitting on the chair facing the door.

Although he had long been out of breath, Guo Yan's figure was still very upright, and on his pale face, there was no pain or fear that he should have before death, but a mysterious smile hung on it.

Death, for him, perhaps, is not punishment, but relief?

After suppressing this strange thought, Sun Ning came to the corpse and took a closer look at the situation.

He was indeed killed, not by accident or by suicide.

Because right in Guo Yan's throat, there were several deep finger marks, which crushed his throat bone at once, which was impossible for suicide to do.

"What a strong finger!" Sun Ning sighed first, and then discovered a strange place.

In the case of such a deadly attack, Guo Yan not only had a smile on his face, but his whole body did not react at all, not even raising his hand to block it, or the slight deflection of his body.

He just sat upright, letting the killer cut his throat.

This is assassinated, it is clearly killed by the neck!

This result is not unexpected, but the question is, who is the murderer?

Who can have such the ability to come here unknowingly under such careful protection, just to help Guo Yan fulfill his wish?

The one who can do this is definitely a rare master in the world, even if his strength is not as good as Sun Ning, it is almost the same.

Looking at the fatal finger wound on the corpse, Sun Ning's heart suddenly moved, and a life was about to come out: "It's him!" ”

He finally remembered that he had always ignored this low-key guy, and he had already taken Liangzhou, and he never thought of finding his person-Zheng Chao'an!

Some people died, but not completely......
