Early the next morning

Zhao Qiyang got the news that Mu Chen was assassinated, and immediately brought people over.

When he saw the dozen or so corpses on the ground, his face was also horrified, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mu Chen, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, it's no problem to deal with these little thieves."

Zhao Qiyang shouted angrily: "It's really hateful, in this palace, someone dares to assassinate, don't worry, I must investigate to the end." ”

Subsequently, someone immediately stepped forward to report: "Back to the prince, these dozen people were poisoned to death, I found the residue of poison in their teeth, it should be that the poison was left in the teeth, and when it was in crisis, it was directly bitten and died, which is a very common method." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qiyang was shocked and looked at Mu Chen: "Mu Chen, these guys are afraid that they are another group of dead soldiers!" ”

Mu Chen also nodded: "I think so too, but the dead soldiers of the royal family should be in the hands of Zhao Kuoyang, could it be that they are here to avenge Zhao Kuoyang?" ”

"It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible, after Zhao Kuoyang died, I also found all of his Deadpools, those guys all committed suicide by poisoning, and their loyalty is still good, so it is absolutely impossible to be Zhao Kuoyang's people, by the way, have these guys said anything before?"

"What did you say?" Mu Chen looked at Zhao Qiyang suspiciously: "Prince, why do you ask that?" ”

"Oh, I'm just asking."

"Ah, that's not the case."

"Really? In that case, this matter will not be easy to handle, but don't worry, I will find someone to find out to the end. ”

"Okay, thank you, Prince."

Zhao Qiyang smiled: "What are you polite to me, what is the relationship between us, oh, by the way, do you still have enough medicinal materials here, if it is not enough, I will order someone to purchase it for you." ”

"The medicinal materials are still enough, yesterday's furnace of pills has been refined, please help me transfer this pill to Your Majesty."

After taking the pill, Zhao Qiyang opened it and looked at it and wondered: "Why is there only one, didn't you say last time that this furnace can refine two?" ”

Mu Chen said with a smile: "If you are lucky, you can refine two pills in one furnace, but it's a pity, this alchemy, you also know, there will always be success or failure, and this one is also very difficult, so it can be refined, after all, the time is limited." ”

Zhao Qiyang nodded: "I understand, don't worry, I will transfer this pill to my father." ”

Watching Zhao Qiyang leave, Mu Chen's face also became extremely solemn, he always felt that there was something wrong with Zhao Qiyang today, but he couldn't say exactly where it was.

Zhao Qiyang sat in the carriage and glanced at the pill in his hand, and put it into his arms, his eyes were full of solemnity.

In view of the rapidly changing situation in the capital and the hidden crisis, Mu Chen also asked Hei Ling to escort Mu Dahai and several people back to Qingzhou City all the way.

Subsequently, he also asked Zhao Lingzhi to take Situ Ming out of the prince's mansion and send him to his side, there was still Hei Ling's protection before, but now that he has been staying in the prince's mansion, Mu Chen's heart is still a little uneasy.

Two days later.

Mu Chen got the news that today is the 60th birthday of Prime Minister Wang Tianchi, and this guy even feasted the dignitaries in the capital and all the officials in the court, but did not send an invitation to Mu Chen.

However, Mu Chen didn't care, because his relationship with Wang Tianchi had reached the point of incompatibility, and it was natural not to send him an invitation.

That night, all the guests in the Prime Minister's Mansion had left, and King Cheng Tianchi was even more drunk, lying on the bed and falling asleep.

Just as those servants were tidying up the courtyard, suddenly a tall masked strong man fell from the sky, and he couldn't help but say something to those servants.

One punch to a child, those servants under the hands of this big man, like the mud, were all knocked out and died on the spot.

Even the guards in the palace came and were all defeated by this big man.

"The bold thief dared to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make trouble and look for death!"

Liu Qing, who was guarding in the main room, rushed out, and with an incomparably strong punch, he blasted towards the big man.

And the moment the two of them collided with their fists in the next second, a terrifying wave of qi swept around, and the figures of the two took a few steps back at the same time, looking at each other in disbelief.

"Are you...... Mu Chen! ”

Liu Qing's eyes narrowed, as if he recognized the identity of the person who came.

The big man snorted coldly, turned around and left, his body was swift and fast, and he disappeared into the darkness.

And Liu Qing did not track the past in order to prevent the other party from using the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, but he could also be sure that this person was Mu Chen.

Following

Above the main hall, the breath of the old emperor on the dragon head throne was a little sluggish, and it seemed that he had experienced a lot of "big wars" in the past few days.

The prime minister Wang Tianchi tied gauze on his head, and was carried into the hall by someone with one leg lame.

When he saw Wang Tianchi's appearance, the old emperor's face was full of shock: "Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Tianchi cried: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the minister, yesterday, it was the minister's 60th birthday, and he was drunk at that time, but Na Mu Chen couldn't help but say that he went to my house that night to make trouble, killed more than ten servants, and injured dozens of guards, so if the thief does not kill, it will become a disaster." ”

The old emperor's eyes widened vigorously when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "Prime Minister, you can't talk nonsense, but you can see that person's appearance clearly, is it really Mu Chen Mu Tianshi?" ”

Wang Tianchi was puzzled for a moment and said, "My personal guard can identify the other party's skills when he fights with him, and it is Mu Chen. ”

"Nonsense," Zhao Qiyang, who was standing aside, hurriedly said: "Father, the son will never believe that Mu Chen is the kind of person who kills innocents indiscriminately, someone must have planted the blame, and Mu Chen and the prime minister do not have any grudges, there is no need to do anything to the prime minister." ”

The old emperor nodded: "Prime Minister, I think you should be mistaken, Mu Tianshi has stayed in the palace and never left, and he has nothing to do with you, why would he go to your house to kill people?" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you know it," Wang Tianchi cried and said: "The minister's 60th birthday, many people were invited, but only Mu Chen, who was not invited, must have felt that the minister did not invite him, so he held a grudge, so he moved his hand to the minister, you must be the master of the minister!" ”

Zhao Qiyang continued: "Father, the son feels that there must be something strange about this matter, or let Mu Chen go to the main hall to confront him on the spot, what do you think?" ”

The old emperor also nodded when he heard this: "Okay, Wei Qixian, you can go to the alchemy place to find Mu Tianshi and announce him into the hall." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave is going!"

At this time, Mu Chen, who was guiding Situ Ming's cultivation in the courtyard, also received an order from the emperor.

"Father-in-law Wei, Your Majesty, why did you suddenly announce me to the palace, what happened?"

Wei Qixian smiled slightly and said: "It's not good for the old slave to say much about specific things, just ask Mu Tianshi to go with the old slave!" ”

"Okay, father-in-law, please lead the way."

Above the main hall, the atmosphere was very solemn, and Mu Chen seemed to have seen some clues

When he saw Wang Tianchi's head and hands tied with bandages, he also felt a little funny.

Immediately afterwards, he went forward and bowed.

"Mu Chen has seen His Majesty the Emperor."

"Master Mutian, please get up."

When he saw Mu Chen, Wang Tianchi on the side pointed at Mu Chen and immediately cried: "Your Majesty is him, it is he who beat the minister like this, and killed dozens of servants, please be sure to be the master of the minister, and you must put him on death row." ”

Mu Chen frowned when he heard this, and scolded angrily: "Old bastard, who do you say killed someone, you need evidence to tell you that rumors are spreading." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded, and some people burst out laughing directly.

"It's really interesting what evidence is needed to spread rumors."

"yes, that's funny."

"Give me all peace!"

The old emperor shouted angrily, and everyone closed their mouths, and lowered their heads one by one.

And Mu Chen also found that the breath of this old emperor seemed to have a feeling of anger, he clearly remembered that he had handed over this elixir to Zhao Qiyang a few days ago, and after taking that elixir, it was absolutely impossible for this old emperor's breath to be like this.

Didn't Zhao Qiyang hand over the elixir to the old emperor?

Mu Chen's eyes swept to Zhao Qiyang on the side.

And when Zhao Qiyang came into contact with Mu Chen's gaze, he dodged for a moment, and hurriedly said to the emperor: "Father, the son thinks that the person who committed the murder in the Prime Minister's Mansion last night is definitely not Mu Chen, now Mu Chen is standing here, why don't you let Mu Chen tell me, where did he go last night?" ”

"Ahem," the old emperor coughed twice, nodded and said, "Mu Tianshi, just tell the prime minister, where did you go last night?" ”

Mu Chen's face was calm, and he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has been in the alchemy place for the past few days, and he even refined a pill this morning, as you know, alchemy can't leave at will." ”

Mu Chen's palm flipped, and a round pill appeared on his palm, and the danxiang overflowed, which made people linger.

Seeing the elixir in Mu Chen's palm, the old emperor's eyes straightened, and he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, quickly bring the elixir to me." ”
