Leaving the palace, it was getting late, the cold moonlight was shining on the streets, and the sound of the husband and wife could be faintly heard in the silent streets.

Is it already a three-watch prison?

Shen Ning walked on the street, he no longer remembered where the fire was, but he still remembered everything that happened inside.

After this trip, he can be said to have gained a lot.

Not only did he light the life flame incense candle that could be resurrected nine times for himself, but he also received a heavenly magic weapon from the Chongyang Zi corpse, you must know that these may be things that ordinary cultivators can't get after a hard time.

As for leaving his restrictions in the hands of Emperor Jing, Shen Ning didn't care about it, after all, he was loyal to the Great Jin.

If one day in the future, he is really confused by the strange aura and does something against his wishes, he is willing to pay a heavy price for it.

Back at the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Shen Ning lay on the bed a little tired, recalling what happened during this time, his heart couldn't help but become erratic.

In addition to the demon in the south, Lujiazhuang retreated from the gods....... Shenjing City fights the evil demons, and the pictures of this pile one by one seem to be right in front of you.

After a long time, Shen Ning sighed slightly, and was about to fall asleep, but he felt a familiar smell blowing in the breeze outside the house.

He was surprised, walked outside the Daoju, looked up, and saw that under the moonlight, Zifu Lingyue's figure was standing on a green bamboo, and the light white clothes fluttered in the wind, like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the Guanghan Palace.

"Something's wrong." Before Shen Ning could ask, Zifu Lingyue spoke.

Shen Ning's originally relaxed mood was raised at this moment.

.......

The Tsing Yi Division is the institution for dealing with demons in Dajin.

The tasks are arduous and there is a clear division of labor among the various agencies.

Coming to the morgue in charge of the autopsy, Zi Fu Lingyue lifted a white cloth, and under it was a corpse with a blue complexion.

This person was wearing the costume of the Tsing Yi Si Xing, with a square face, looking about his early thirties, his left chest was pierced, leaving a large hole with blood and bits of blood, his facial features were distorted, and his five fingers seemed to have been beaten by gravity, and the flesh and skin were opened, revealing the white bones.

"What's going on?" Shen Ning's brows furrowed.

Zi Fu Lingyue said lightly: "The subordinate officer of the Tsing Yi Division who performed the autopsy said that he died after fighting with monsters and being hollowed out of his heart. ”

"What's wrong?" Shen Ning was a little puzzled, there were not a few people who died in Tsing Yi Si because of the demon plague, and he had seen it a hundred times more tragic than this death.

"He didn't die of a demon." Zi Fu Lingyue's words were amazing.

"That's?"

Covering the body with a white cloth again, Zifu Lingyue looked at Shen Ning and said in a deep voice: "Before the prince went north, he told me that there were forces secretly targeting practitioners related to him. ”

"So, he crushed the artifact before he died." Shen Ning asked.

Zifu Lingyue nodded, "That's true, I felt the message from him just when I wanted to go back to Shenjing City, and when I arrived, it was already too late, so I had to bring the body back to Shenjing City." ”

"Does anyone else know about this besides you?"

Zi Fu Lingyue shook her head, "The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light, so I haven't revealed this matter to anyone." ”

To avoid startling the snake, Zifu Lingyue's approach is correct, but how to solve this matter?

Shen Ning sighed and said, "I have to find a way to lure this group out." ”

Unexpectedly, Zi Fu Lingyue denied Shen Ning's proposal, "I have already tried this method, and if I am not completely sure, they will not make a move." ”

"So you mean we're just going to have to wait for their next move?"

Zi Fu Lingyue was noncommittal, and there seemed to be no better way in this situation.

"Nope." After thinking for a long time, Shen Ning said: "In fact, it is not difficult to speculate that the reason why they acted so cautiously before was that there was a prince and His Majesty sitting in Shenjing City, and now after His Majesty wielded the sword of the royal road, there is not much longevity, and the prince is far away at the border, so they can't sit still." ”

Although Zi Fu Lingyue is mainly practicing in the Tsing Yi Division, he still has some understanding of the major forces in the court, whether it is the meritorious family left behind during the period of Emperor Taizu Gao, or the ministers of the court and the central government all support the recognition of Ying Qin as the crown prince, so there is no reason to target the cultivators around him.

A little reflection can be concluded that:

There is only King Qin who has this motive, but King Qin has always shown that he has no quarrel with the world, and is only responsible for protecting some miscellaneous matters in the capital, regarding the core strength of the Great Jin Dynasty, the affairs of the Tsing Yi Division and the Heavenly Master's Mansion have never interfered, there is no opportunity to establish the power of cultivators, plus there has been a desperate act of blocking assassins for the crown prince, no one can blame him for the culprit.

But when he saw that the King of Qin asked Emperor Jing today to investigate the case of the Jokhang Temple, Shen Ning had a new opinion, the previous things were just the means of self-protection of this thoughtful King of Qin, even if everyone was suspicious of him, under the cover of this harmless appearance of humans and animals, no one could do anything about him without sufficient evidence.

If King Qin was really willing to be a prince of idle clouds and wild cranes, he would definitely not be so eager to ask Emperor Jing for the right to investigate the escape of the evil demons of the Jokhang Temple, of course, it is also possible that he really wants to share a little pressure for Emperor Jing, but this possibility is very small!

The purpose of his doing this is very likely to take the opportunity to purge the forces that Ying Qin left in Shenjing City, and after Shen Ning told Zi Fu Lingyue his thoughts, in the latter's suspicious gaze, he said slowly: "If I guess correctly, then King Qin will inevitably associate the Tsing Yi Division with the evil demons and foreign ways, and then use this matter to carry out a large-scale purge of the Tsing Yi Division." ”

Although most of what Shen Ning said was speculation, the logic was clear, if it was really like what he said, then King Qin must be the one who secretly killed them! All you want is the high throne.

It's just that the other party is the king of Qin, and it is obviously useless to rely on such speculation alone, as for the specific implementation method, Zi Fu Lingyue looked at Shen Ning.

"You see I'm useless." Shen Ning smiled bitterly: "It's about the royal family, and ordinary means can't be used. ”

"How should that be?" Zi Fu Lingyue fell into deep thought, if it was to deal with the evil demons, of course she had thousands of means, but when it came to the struggle for power between forces, she stepped into her blind spot of knowledge.

"I can't help it, but I can offer an idea."

Zifu Lingyue looked at Shen Ning again, and her willow eyebrows were slightly bundled, Dayes, if you make a fool of yourself, I will cut you under the sword.

Seeing her feigned anger, Shen Ning smiled and said his method, "What we want is to make Your Majesty suspicious of King Qin, if we can find the hiding place of King Qin's monks, and then let Your Majesty know about it inadvertently, he will send someone to investigate this matter, and at that time, we can watch the fire from the other side and add firewood and raise salaries." ”

"So what should we do?" Zifu Lingyue asked puzzled.

"Put yourself in your shoes, if you are now the King of Qin, who will kill first?"

"Your Majesty?"

"......" Shen Ning looked at Fu Lingyue for a moment, although it was okay to think like this, but why didn't she see that she was pregnant with backbones before?

It seemed that Shen Ning was a little weak-hearted, and Zi Fu Lingyue asked rhetorically: "If it's who you want to kill?" ”

Shen Ning smiled, "Since my goal is to eradicate the prince's forces, whoever is better to assassinate will naturally be the first to do it, but if you add a precondition, if someone is investigating me, will he be included in the list of key assassinations." ”

Zi Fu Lingyue's brows furrowed even tighter, she still didn't understand too much what Shen Ning wanted to do, and forced herself to hold back the unhappiness in her heart and asked, "What should I do?" ”

"It's very simple, just let King Qin know that we are investigating him, and we have made a lot of progress." Shen Ning said: "Wait for tomorrow, you will submit a document to the Tsing Yi Division." The content is to report the matter of the magic weapons that you have been connected with, and say that before being assassinated, he passed on some information about the assassin to you, so that you can apply to start investigating the murderer. At that time, you, who already have a good relationship with the crown prince, will become a thorn in the side of King Qin, and the next assassination target is likely to be you. ”

"What about you?" Zifu Lingyue asked.

Shen Ning smiled, "I will naturally hide in the shadows to prevent you from encountering accidents." ”

…………

…………

In the night, Shen Ning left the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

What he didn't know was that everything tonight was in the eyes of others, and Li Yanzheng in the attic looked at Shen Ning's departing figure, and the murmur in his head remembered again.

"It's him, it's him! I felt a strange aura in him, kill him! Kill him. ”

Li Yanzheng felt very noisy, took out the short knife hidden on the side of his boots, and the weird murmur subsided.
