"I think Jielan and Miss Suqin are still safe now, they let the mount come back to report the news, it will prove that they were not captured by those assassins, but their identities were exposed, and they are worried about our safety, so they sent the mount to inform you, however, if this assassin really sees the city lord, this monarch can still protect himself, as for the safety of the prince of Yu Ning, I am afraid that it is easy to dodge the open gun and difficult to prevent the hidden arrow, and the city lord of Yuqing will secretly attack him, so the assassin must be prevented from seeing the city lord." Qing Zhan analyzed it and felt very worried, so he hurriedly said to Split Bo: "When you go to the gate of the city, if you see that assassin entering the court late at night, you will stop him first and bring him to me, and you must not let this person escape, you know?" ”

Split Bo nodded, and immediately walked out of the Bamboo Heart Pavilion towards the gate of the city palace, while Qing Zhan stayed in the pavilion, waiting for the result, although arresting the other party could save him from the danger of reporting to the city lord of Yuqing, but for what reason did he detain this assassin, how to convince the city lord, so that he ran over to question and would not be controlled by the other party, after thinking for a while, Qing Zhan walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen and ink, and began to write, he wrote: "Respectfully Cheng Shaojun, we went to the Flame Demon Mountain, and were attacked by demons on the way, and were attacked by assassins, deeply hurt, I confuse these murderers to take our lives, the means are ruthless, why, after the investigation of them are the city guards, I am heartbroken, I don't know why they want to kill us, Jun in the city, like a turtle in the urn, you must be cautious, Tan Qi offered! ”

It turned out that he imitated Tan Qi's handwriting to write this letter, intending to first put the other party in the army, after he wrote it, he baked the letter on the candle flame, so as to dry the ink, so as not to be recognized by the city lord, he knew that it was not appropriate for Yin Yi to stay with him for too long, so he said: "This place is not safe, presumably there are a lot of eyes of the city lord here, if he knows that you are here in this king, I am afraid it will be troublesome, and he will not be able to save the prince of Yu Ning." ”

Yinyi nodded, he took out a piece of clothes from his arms, handed it to Shaojun and said: "This is what Miss Suqin asked her mount to bring back, presumably left by the person who attacked them, although I don't know if it is useful, but it may come in handy if it is held, and finally I will go here, and leave everything to Shaojun, I hope this matter can be resolved safely." ”

Shaojun smiled indifferently and said, "General, please rest assured, even if this gentleman doesn't care about the safety of Yu Ning's son, he will also care about my own safety." ”

When Yinyi heard this, he felt much more relieved, so he jumped out of the window, and then looked around and saw that no one was paying attention and hid in the night.

Qing Zhan stayed in the pavilion, waiting for news from the crack.

......................

At the palace gate, Split Bo had been hiding behind a wall at the palace gate, he quietly watched the movement of the palace gate, and as soon as he saw the returning guard, he would take it down first.

Waited until the hour, but saw the palace gate at the palace gate opened, a man wearing a guard uniform staggered in from outside the palace gate, looking at his appearance, obviously seriously injured, and this guard was the leader who led the guards to attack Jielan that day, the leader could have rushed back in one day after escaping, but he was seriously injured, and he stopped along the way, and it was delayed until now to the city court, as soon as the man entered the palace gate, he was stopped by the people guarding the palace gate, he took out the waist card, and the guards let him enter the city gate, As soon as he came in at this time, Split Bo flashed out and blocked in front of him, and the guard saw that a person flashed out for no reason, so he was naturally a little scared, and hurriedly said, "Who are you and what do you want to do?" ”

"You're the guard sent to assassinate Jielan and her party, right?" Split Bo asked coldly.

When the guard heard this, he sweated in fright, took two steps back, and said, "What are you talking about, I don't know, who are you?" ”

"Under is Shaojun's attendant Split, Shaojun asks you to come over and ask you something, you can go with Ben General!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull the guard, and the guard turned pale with fright when he saw this, he knew that if this person knew that he had assassinated Jielan and them, he was afraid that there was only one way to die, even if the city lord came to save it, it would be in vain, he hurriedly shouted: "I, I don't want to go with you, I didn't do anything, why should you take me away." ”

When the guards guarding the palace gate heard his shout, they immediately rushed over, and when they saw Split Bo, they saw that he was a little angry, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" Dare to be presumptuous here, take him down quickly! The guards immediately surrounded the Rift.

Split Bo hurriedly took out the waist card on his body, flashed at those people, and said: "I am Shaojun's entourage, you dare to be rude to Ben General?" ”

As soon as those people saw this card, they were so frightened that they immediately fell to their knees and shouted, "Offend the general, please atone for your sins." ”

"Please get up, this person has committed a serious crime, the young monarch ordered me to send him over for questioning, you don't have to worry, just retreat!" Split Bo grabbed the person's hand and dragged it in the direction of Zhuxin Pavilion, the man wanted to break free, but he was injured, how could he break free, and the other party was a person from the royal city after all, and he was in the city court at the moment, so he naturally couldn't do anything to him, so he only shouted loudly: "Quickly report to the city lord, I want to see the city lord, quickly report to the city lord, I have something important to report!" He shouted like this all the way, so that the other guards in the city court crowded around.

Although those guards were very puzzled when they saw Split Bo taking this guard away, and wanted to stop it, they knew that Split Bo was a person from the royal city, and they were afraid that it would harm their own lives if they stopped it easily, so they didn't dare to stop it, and some cautious ones immediately went to inform the city lord.

As soon as Split Bo brought the guard to the Bamboo Heart Pavilion, he saw the city lord of Yu Qing hurrying over with all the imperial guards, and stopped in front of Split Bo, Yu Qing's face was cold, his expression was solemn, and he said: "Where is Major General Split Bo going to take the master's bodyguards?" ”

"This person has committed a big crime, I was ordered by the young monarch to bring him over for questioning, even the city lord's guard general can't care about this, unless the city lord wants to protect him, then the general has to intervene." Crack said angrily.

"Even if he commits any crime, it must be investigated by the master first, when did you young monarch become the city lord of this Qing Zhou City, and actually interfered in the internal affairs of my city." Yu Qing was imposing and said awe-inspiringly.

Split Bo didn't know how to deal with the time, but he heard the voice of Qing Zhan from behind, and said: "When Benjun doesn't want to interfere in the internal affairs of your Qing Zhou City, Benjun also just wants to live a quiet life without worry, but it's a pity that I don't know why there are always some people who don't let Benjun rest well. ”

Yu Qing's face flickered and darkened, looking both angry and frightened, and he only said, "Why did Shaojun come up with this intention? ”

"What's the point?" Qing Zhan smiled coldly, pointed at the guard and said: "You can ask him, and I will ask the city lord, may I ask this gentleman to let Tan Qi accompany Jielan and his party to find the two demons of Bai Qing, but they were constantly attacked along the way, and they almost lost their lives, and the city lord knows who went to intercept and assassinate them?" ”

"Who is it?" Although Yu Qing knew, he still asked calmly.

"This person is the person you said you want to personally examine, the imperial guard of the Qing Zhou City who is only ordered by the city lord, you say that this monarch is right?" Qing Zhan looked at the guard viciously, and the momentum was so terrifying that the guard immediately knelt on the ground, his face was pale, and he didn't know what to do.

Yu Qing said with a smile: "The master thinks that Shaojun must have misunderstood, how did Shaojun know that Major General Tanqi was attacked, I am afraid that the news was wrong, which caused a misunderstanding." ”

Qing Zhan handed the letter that he had already written to Yu Qing, and after Yu Qing took it, his face became even more ugly, but he was still very calm, and said: "This is just a letter, maybe someone wants to make Shaojun and the master have a dislike so they forged this letter, why should Shaojun take it seriously?" I believe that Shaojun is a person who pays attention to real evidence, and naturally will not be deceived by this kind of thing. ”

Qing Zhan said with a smile: "Yes, just based on the letter sent to me urgently by Tan Qi, it is indeed not credible, but with this thing, I believe that the city lord should not doubt it." Qing Zhan took out the corner of his roof from his sleeve, and Yu Qing saw that it was just a corner of his clothes, so he smiled and said, "Such a thing, did Shaojun say that it was evidence?" Wouldn't that be ridiculous. ”

Although Yu Qing said so, but the kneeling guard couldn't help but tremble with fear when he saw this corner, Split Bo seemed to understand when he saw this, he took the tattered corner of his clothes, and then pulled up the clothes of the kneeling guard, and saw that the corner of his back was missing, and Split Bo put the corner of the clothes in his hand and the missing part together, and sure enough, it just matched, so the corner of the clothes was torn from him.

When Yu Qing saw this scene, he was also stunned, and he didn't know what to do, and Qing Zhan on the side said: "Is this ironclad evidence?" ”

Yu Qing saw that he couldn't defend anymore, and hurriedly asked the guard: "You are so bold, you dare to attack Tan Qi and the others, who gave you such courage to do such a thing, don't you want to die?" ”

The guard saw that the city lord's face suddenly changed, and he was even more frightened, and said: "Lord, the subordinates should be damned, they are not doing their jobs well, but the subordinates have learned a big secret to repay the dereliction of duty of their subordinates..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of drawing the sword, and then there was a dull sound of the sword piercing into the opponent's body, and the blood dripped down the blade of the sword and fell to the ground, making the surroundings soaked with blood. I... I have something important to do... Before he could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground and died.

The guard Hongwang drew his sword, knelt down to the city lord and pleaded: "My subordinates are impulsive, kill this person, please punish the city lord!" The other guards were shocked and hurriedly dragged the guard who was given death, while Yu Qing faced Shaojun and said, "This person actually colluded with foreign thieves without permission and wanted to be unfavorable to Shaojun, and the master was too angry, so he gave him death to eliminate Shaojun's anger." ”

Although Qing Zhan was a little surprised, this was exactly what he wanted, after all, he could save Yu Ning's life, Qing Zhan sighed: "He is a criminal who accompanied the assassin of the master and tried to prevent them from finding the two demons of Bai Qing, did the city lord execute him like this?" Isn't it too reckless. ”

Yu Qing pointed to the entourage who killed the guard and said: "What a bold minion, you actually disposed of the criminals without listening to the orders of the master, do you still take the master in your eyes?" Take it down and lock it up for the master. ”

Several other guards hurriedly took the city lord's personal entourage Hongwang down, and Yu Qing said to Qingqing: "I don't know what to think of the young monarch in this way?" ”
