Pei Wei's face was gloomy, and it was obvious that the news was not very pleasant to him.

"It seems that we have to start with those two."

Back at Taiyang Mansion, Pei Wei summoned his master

"How's that shop?"

The master replied

"As expected by adults, the store is still closed."

Pei Wei sneered

"Huh! Did last night's army reappear? ”

The master replied

"No, after last night, it seems to have disappeared, but after one night, Twelfth Street seems to be back to normal."

Pei Wei frowned

"What does that mean?"

Master said

"Yesterday, all the officers and soldiers of the Chuanfeng Battalion and the forbidden army on the 12th Street were slaughtered, but today, there is no news in the palace, and those officers and soldiers suddenly disappeared as if they had never appeared."

Pei Wei's face sank

"That's not good news."

Since the incident of last night, the City Lord's Mansion has been protected by a large number of Jianghu people.

In Hu Qi's words, the officers and soldiers of the forbidden army and the Chuanfeng battalion were still wantonly slaughtered in this capital, and the unarmed city lord's mansion was in danger of overturning at any time.

In the house, Hu Qi came to report.

"Brother Hu Qi, what's the situation outside now."

Chang Sheng held the flower pot in his hand, and when he saw Hu Qi coming, he hurriedly asked.

After returning home last night, Chang Sheng frantically sent spies to various parts of the capital, and her intuition told her that a huge storm was brewing.

Hu Qidao

"The city has somehow returned to normal, and the strange thing is that there is no news of the new emperor's accession to the throne in the palace, and there is no response to the affairs of the forbidden army and the Chuanfeng camp, there is a dead silence."

But Chang Sheng is obviously more concerned about the safety of Yan Sihai and Wan Chaoyang at the moment

"What about the quarry, what's the news there?"

When Hu Qi heard this, his expression became weird, and he stopped talking.

When Chang Sheng saw this, the more anxious he became

"Come on, Brother Hu Qi, what's the news from the quarry?"

"Don't say it, I'm back!"

At this time, Yan Sihai's voice appeared in the City Lord's Mansion at the right time.

Chang Sheng was overjoyed, but Hu Qi was surprised and muttered

"The news from the spies is correct, doesn't it mean that the quarry has been slaughtered?"

Yan Sihai walked in with a calm face

"That's right, overnight, all the people in the quarry died, only Wan Chaoyang and the steward don't know their whereabouts, I searched the entire quarry, and I didn't find any trace of the two of them."

Chang Sheng stepped forward with concern

"What the hell is going on?"

Yan Sihai's face was solemn, and he was silent for a while,

After a while, he told the story of what was happening in the white area and continued

"After I came out of the white area, I went all the way, but found that overnight, the quarry had become a purgatory on earth, and a living person had not been found, and the ghost-faced killer followed me all the way, but looking at his appearance, I am afraid I don't know anything, but according to Wan Chaoyang's martial arts, since his body has not been found, there should be no danger."

Chang Sheng struggled to digest the information provided by Yan Sihai, and beads of sweat appeared on his snow-white forehead

"Concentrated gunpowder?"

Yan Sihai nodded solemnly, and his face became serious

"I've seen this thing once, when I was looking for the Gu King in the desert, I met the fledgling Liang Gong, and I saw that kid detonate a concentrated gunpowder in a large uninhabited desert, and directly blew up the bottomless sea of sand out of a large pit several feet wide and bottomless, which makes people shudder when they think of it."

Hu Qi on the side was surprised

"Is there such a terrible amount of gunpowder? But why have I never heard of it on the rivers and lakes? ”

Yan Sihai stroked his beard

"The power of that thing, even Liang Gong himself was taken aback, and even far surpassed the full force of the Great Grandmaster's blow, but this thing is too restrictive, just to detonate one, it will require a huge amount of detonation materials, for example, saltpeter."

"Besides, Liang Gong thought that this thing was harmful, and since then, Liang Gong has never mentioned this gunpowder again."

Chang Sheng asked

"What is this gunpowder made of, that it has such terrible power?"

Yan Shikaido

"The ingredients should be the same as ordinary black powder, but Liang Gong should have used a special technique to squeeze a large amount of black powder into a very small pill, which requires the shell of the pill to be extremely strong, otherwise, the pill will be very easy to detonate if it is slightly in contact with an external force, but in this way, the conditions for detonating the pill will become more harsh."

Chang Sheng nodded

"Since the grimace killer is holding the stud gunpowder in his hand, does that mean that Liang Gong has appeared?"

Yan Sihai frowned slightly, and said after a moment of silence

"It seems that Liang Gong was mostly coerced by the twelfth floor."

At this time, Hu Qi on the side seemed to remember something and said

"One thing I forgot to mention, according to the news from the palace from the spies, the night before yesterday, the emperor and queen were also robbed."

"What!"

Chang Sheng exclaimed

"Brother Hu Qi, please tell me the details."

Hu Qidao

"It is said that the night before yesterday, that Ji Shen and Lu Ying suddenly appeared in the palace, to rob the emperor, at the critical moment, Commander Pang arrived in time, but two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, that Ji Shen Lu Ying's strength is no longer under Commander Pang, under the hard battle, Commander Pang has killed Ji Shen at the cost of a broken arm, but he was still robbed by Lu Ying."

Chang Sheng nodded slightly and looked at Yan Sihai

"In this way, it is worthy of Qin Wuyi and the others who came to ask for help that night."

There were so many things that had happened during this time, and the clues that came out like a big bang were cluttered, and until now, she still couldn't sort out what secrets were hidden behind these seemingly unrelated things.

"By the way, Lao Yan, what happened to you in the palace that night."

Chang Sheng suddenly remembered this and asked.

After what happened last night, Yan Sihai didn't come back to his senses for a while, so he forgot about going to the palace to save Pang Chong before, and suddenly patted his head

"How did I forget this, speaking of this, I met a wonderful person in the palace."

Chang Sheng asked curiously

"What wonderful person?"

Yan Sihai looked at the flower in Chang Sheng's hand

"A medical officer, from outside the city."

As he spoke, he informed Chang Sheng of the news he had learned about Kao from Doctor Xu.

Chang Sheng quietly looked at the flower in his hand

"So ......"

Yan Sihai nodded

"Probably yes, the immortal who fell from the sky outside the Saiwai cultivated the Flower of Extreme Life and the Flower of Extreme Death, and what you have in your hand should be the Flower of Extreme Life."

"If you don't guess wrong, Ji Shenlu wins, Pang Chong and them, and they are extremely poisoned by death."

Chang Shengxiu's eyebrows frowned, and his slender fingers unconsciously pinched the flower pot in his hand

"Could it be that the Flower of Extreme Death also appeared in the capital?"

Yan Sihai shook his head

"That's not necessarily, according to what the medical officer said, the poison that these people are talking about now is just the residual poison left by the flower of extreme death back then, and it cannot be compared with the real poison of extreme death."

"Now, finding Ji Shen and Lu Ying, who were the first to be poisoned, may be the key."

Chang Sheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes like a torch

"That's not right! They weren't the first to be poisoned. ”

Yan Shikaido

"Could it be that someone before them was poisoned?"

Chang Sheng stared at Yan Sihai and asked a question

"Lao Yan, according to what you said, it was Medical Officer Wang who poisoned Pang Chong, and the purpose was to pass it on to Qin Wuyi and others who had come into contact with Pang Chong, so can it be explained that this poison itself has the ability to infect others."

Yan Sihai nodded

"Natural ......"

Immediately, he suddenly seemed to think of something

"You mean, Ji Shen and Lu Ying were also infected?"

Chang Sheng said

"Regarding the robbery of the Human Emperor, now that I think about it, there is one key information that has been overlooked, that is, the testimony of Ji Shen and Lu Ying in the palace."

Yan Shikaido

"What did they say?"

Chang Sheng said

"They said that night, they were first knocked to the ground by two little eunuchs, and then, when they heard the little eunuchs leading a group of people into the palace, they got up to chase after them, but they found that the group of men in black and the two little eunuchs disappeared before their eyes."

Yan Sihai couldn't believe it

"It can't be a ghost."

Chang Sheng said with a smile

"Naturally, it's not a ghost, it's more likely that they were poisoned at that time, don't forget, the flower of extreme death, known as the flower king in Manzhu Sawah, naturally has a strong hallucinogenic ability, and I just smelled the aftertaste of the flower poison in the prison that day, and I almost fell for it."

Yan Shikaido

"You mean, those two little eunuchs and those men in black are their hallucinations? That night, no one entered the palace through that gate at all? ”

Chang Sheng said

"It may be a bit arbitrary to say this, but as I said before, those two were not the first to be poisoned, because Xiao Zhong once told me that on the second night of the human emperor being robbed, he had seen a similar humanoid monster on the other side of Changming Lake, and there was also a dark green light in his eyes, and at that time, Ji Shen and Lu Ying should still be in prison."

"To confirm my suspicions, I went to that place with Xiao Zhong yesterday and found this there."

While Chang Sheng was talking, Hu Qi brought a brown silk thread from the side, which he found on the riverside that day.

"Judging from the footprints left there and this brown silk thread, the green-eyed monster that Xiao Zhong saw that night should be a eunuch."

Yan Sihai looked at the brown silk thread

"So you think those eunuchs were the first to be poisoned."

Chang Sheng nodded

"Not only that, but Wang Huan's men who kidnapped the human emperor that night should be the group of eunuchs who disappeared later, after being poisoned by extreme death, with the ability of those people, it is naturally no longer difficult to rob the saints, they don't need to enter the palace at all, they are already people in the palace."

"And Ji Shen and Lu Ying's internal strength has skyrocketed on the second night, and in terms of the order of poisoning, those eunuchs are obviously poisoned earlier than those two."

"And I suspect that what Ji Shen and Lu Ying saw was by no means all hallucinations, there should indeed be two little eunuchs who appeared behind them that night, but it was not that they were defeated, but that they were infected with the poison of extreme death by those two little eunuchs."

After a long time, Yan Sihai finally came back to his senses

"You say that, the whole kidnapping case seems reasonable, but this is just speculation, and besides, where did the Human Emperor go, and what did they kidnap the Human Emperor for."

Chang Sheng interrupted him

"Don't worry, listen to me continue, according to Brother Hu Qi, the emperor and queen were robbed last night, and Ji Shen and Lu Ying suddenly appeared in the palace, which is a more interesting statement, although the two of them are already at the level of the Kuofu, but it is also a fool's dream to force their way into the palace."

Hu Qi nodded

"But they did show up, and Lu Ying ran away unharmed."

Yan Sihai's complexion changed

"The palace has been controlled by King Xiang's Chuanfeng Battalion, although the Chuanfeng Camp is not elite compared to the forbidden army, it is several times larger than the forbidden army, but the two can still come and go freely in the deep palace."

Speaking of which, even Hu Qi also figured it out

"They are the people of the Xiang Wang, could it be that the poison was ordered by the Xiang Wang, and the kidnapping of the human emperor and the emperor and the queen was also done by the Xiang Wang?"

Yan Sihai looked at Chang Sheng

"What are you going to do next?"

Chang Sheng thought about it, motioned for Yan Sihai to come closer, and said a few words in Yan Sihai's ear, Yan Sihai's face changed greatly after listening, and he said sternly

"No, you can't!"
