Soul Eater suddenly shouted and asked them to kill themselves, and Xiahou Ninghan and the three of them couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

At this moment, the Soul Eater who was kneeling on the ground looked up at them, tears already rolling down the corners of his eyes, a look of remorse, guilt, grief and other feelings mixed together, which made the originally ugly and strange face seem a lot gentler.

Shen Lie frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What were you talking about just now?" You want us to kill you? Why? ”

I only heard the soul eater choke up: "I hate it, I hate it...... It's so painful...... Please, give me a good time...... I can't live anymore...... Please, all right......"

Shen Lie guessed that this guy was probably because of Xiahou Ninghan's internal force, and his sanity had regained consciousness, so he hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" Who sent you here? ”

Soul Eater ignored his question, still crying and repeating the words just now: "Let me die, do it, kill me." ”

When Shen Lie saw him like this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. However, here and now, there is no other good way for him to get some useful information from this monster.

Xiahou Ninghan saw Shen Lie's thoughts, and asked the Soul Devourer in a soft tone, "You must be very sad, sad, right?" I know it's none of your fault. Please tell me what happened to you before, so that I can help you. ”

Soul Eater looked at Xiahou Ninghan blankly, and after being stunned for a moment, he seemed to suddenly understand something, and replied intermittently: "I...... My name is Tieping...... I am a villager from Zhangye County, Liangzhou Prefecture...... Me, I, I...... I ate my dad, my mom and my sister...... I'm not human...... It's not a human ......," he said, and began to cry again.

Xiahou Ninghan's heart sank when he heard this, but he still had a calm expression on the surface, and asked softly, "Don't worry." Tell me, why is this happening? What happened to make you like this? ”

Soul Eater slammed his fist into his head and replied in agony, "I ...... too I don't know...... Turkic ghost ...... Yes, yes! It's a Turkic ghost! It was the Turkic ghosts who captured me, and it was they who made me look like I was not a human being or a ghost. I didn't want to eat my father's mother, it was the Turkic ghost, he was the one who harmed me......"

Shen Lie stood next to him and asked cautiously and softly, "The person who came with you is the one who is lying there covered in blood." Do you know him? ”

Soul Eater followed the direction of his finger, looked at the Blood Demon in the opposite place, and nodded in response, "I know him...... When I was first caught, I heard Turkic ghosts say it...... He...... He seems to be a general...... Our general of the Holy Don. ”

Shen Lie's heart was awe-struck, and at the same time he was curious: "Can you understand Turkic dialect?" ”

"Yes...... Can understand ...... A few. The Soul Eater said intermittently, "I...... We are from Liangzhou...... How much will it be a little bit...... A little Turkic nonsense. ”

Shen Lie hurriedly asked again: "Then do you know who caused you to be like this?" Think about it, who is that Turkic ghost who killed you? We can avenge you. ”

"Revenge?" Soul Eater's eyes gradually became hollow, and he muttered, "Revenge...... Avenge...... Right! Take revenge! That one...... The Turkic ghost was like, as if they all called him...... Ge Shuxuan. ”

"Brother Shuxuan." Shen Lie and Xiahou Ninghan repeated the name at the same time.

Shen Lie was about to continue asking for some more important information, but suddenly noticed that the already clear eyes of the Soul Eater began to become cloudy again.

He looked at Xiahou Ninghan in surprise, and found that Xiahou Ninghan's face was pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Hui Dian also felt that something was wrong with the situation at this time, and said with concern: "Little niece, are you okay?" ”

Xiahou Ninghan shook his head gently, adjusted his breath slightly, and said softly: "Those toxins in his body have begun to regurgitate, and my internal strength has been consumed a lot, and it is a little hard to support. ”

Shen Lie was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Beware of the poisonous gas that in turn erodes your meridians!" Disperse! Don't hold him up anymore! ”

Soul Eater, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly shouted, "It hurts...... I hurt so much! Uncomfortable...... Don't hesitate any longer, quick! Hurry up, kill me, kill me! ”

Hui Dian's brows tightened, he raised his hand on Xiahou Ninghan's shoulder, and while protecting Xiahou's heart with internal force, he persuaded: "Niece, you have done your best, if you continue like this, you will be injured by poisonous gas as Lord Shen said!" ”

Xiahou Ninghan's eyes were filled with tears, and his closed lips couldn't help but tremble slightly. She was silent for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, and nodded vigorously.

Shen Lie understood what she meant, and sighed in his heart.

Seeing this, Hui Dian let out a long shout: "Amitabha." Tieping is the donor, life is miserable, and only cause and effect. Please forgive the old man for making a move, and I hope you will enter reincarnation as soon as possible and atone for the sins of this life in the next life. ”

With that, he picked up the crescent moon shovel and swung it downward, cutting off the huge head of the Soul Eater.

-

In the prince's bedroom, Li Bing was lying on his back on a soft couch, covered with a brocade quilt, and a warm wet towel on his forehead.

The assassination in the council chamber today really scared him a lot. Ever since he was escorted back by the Reverse Scale Division and the guards, Li Bing began to have a fever, and it was not until he had just drunk two doses of decoction prescribed by the Imperial Doctor and sweated a little that his symptoms were relieved.

However, the whole person is still weak.

After listening to Shen Lie's story, he subconsciously glanced at Xiahou Ninghan, and sighed with palpitations: "Alas, isn't this palace too cowardly?" As a member of the Li royal family, he was so daring......"

Shen Lie was slightly stunned, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, don't think so. The enemy was frenzied and failed to achieve his goal, and even resorted to such a dehumanizing method, so that whoever became the target of those monsters' attacks would inevitably be thrilled. ”

Li Bing couldn't help but smile bitterly, glanced at Xiahou Ninghan secretly, and asked with a strong spirit: "According to that ...... People say that they were sent by the Turks to assassinate the palace? Can you be sure? Turks? ”

Shen Lie wanted to speak and stopped.

Hui Yun continued: "According to Tieping, he was harmed like that by the Turks, and only the Turks can control his abnormal situation. ”

Shen Lie pondered for a moment and said hesitantly: "At present, it can only be said that the Turks are the most likely. However, there are still a few things that Weichen has not figured out, so he does not dare to make a conclusion. ”

"Oh? What are the doubts? Li Bing took a deep breath and said, "Bengong's head is very heavy now, and his reaction is a little sluggish, you speak slowly." ”

Hearing what the prince said, Shen Lie bowed and bowed: "Your Highness, the dragon body is sick, you should rest more, Weichen should come back tomorrow." ”

"No...... It's okay. If you stay here, the heart of this palace will be more stable. Li Bing waved his hand weakly: "Let's say it now, the right is to relieve the boredom of the palace." ”

Shen Lie looked at Xiahou Ninghan and Hui Dian, who were guarding the side, and saw that both of them nodded lightly, so he continued: "Weichen obeys the order. Your Highness, the few so-called doubts I mentioned just now were all discussed with Miss Xiahou and Master Huidian. The first question comes from Shang Yiyun. He is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, although his position is not high, but his identity is quite innocent. Before, I had never had any information about his martial arts, which shows that this person is extremely hidden. Like this, Wechen believes that it is impossible for the Turks to easily contact and rebel, let alone escape the supervision of the Reverse Scale Division when they are secretly interacting with each other. ”

Li Bing frowned and said, "You mean, Shang Yiyun himself can't serve the Turks?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Both the minister and the Xiahou girl did not agree with Shang Yiyun's identity as a Turkic spy. Shen Lie replied affirmatively: "He can only come from other forces!" ”

"What about the second suspicion?" Li Bing stared at Shen Lie.

"The second question is about motivation." Shen Lie said: "If the Turks take His Highness as the target of assassination, in the current situation, it seems to make some sense. The reason is simple. His Royal Highness, as the orthodox of the Holy Tang Dynasty, is very likely to confront various internal rebel forces before facing the Turkic army. In that case, it should be more beneficial for Ashina Jin to invade the Central Plains. Therefore, there was no need for them to run from afar to provoke His Highness when the civil war in Shengtang was about to break out. ”

Li Bingyan bowed slightly when he heard this: "Well, your statement is very reasonable. Before the Assassins made their move, the generals were still persuading the palace to deal with the King of Huaiyang and Xie Guang first, and finally concentrate on fighting the Turks. Normally, there was really no need for them to rush to send assassins to kill Hongu. ”

Shen Lie continued: "The third question is the style of acting. According to Wechen's understanding of the Turks, such an all-out and all-out assassination operation is not their usual method. Even, for the vast majority of Turkic nobles and generals, assassination was a very despicable practice and was usually despised. On the contrary, this kind of drastic tactics is more like the style of intelligence agencies or charlatans. The several assassins who were cracked by the Reverse Scale Division before were all planned by Lao Jianhua, so Wei Chen was wondering, could it be his conspiracy this time? ”

Li Bing thought for a moment, and his eyes regained some light: "Well, it's not unreasonable. But in this way, Hongu has a new question in his heart. If the alienated people of Liangzhou were really poisoned by the Turks and had been controlled by the Turks, then he appeared here today, can it be said that the Turks and Lao Jianhua are standing together? However, judging from the current situation of the Xuanjia Army and the Turkic Army, it seems that this is not the case. ”

He turned his head and looked at Shen Lie: "Aren't they hostile to each other?" ”

Shen Lie nodded: "Your Highness, this question is easy to explain, because Xie Guang is Xie Guang, and Lao Jianhua is Lao Jianhua." ”
