The assassination case was tried by Ge Yiyan, so naturally it was not settled. However, after this incident, Emperor Rong ordered to strictly guard against death, surrounded the hunting ground into a closed field, and sent guards at the same time, and the three layers inside and three layers outside guarded the field, and people entering and leaving needed to be checked, resulting in a lot less fun in hunting.

Prince Zheng sympathized with Su Yan's injury and allowed her to withdraw from the competition. Su Yan had no intention of continuing, but she was happy to stay out of the matter, but the rest of the people still had to accompany you, so that she could only be sent alone, dangling in the courtyard, and her eyes were already hungry after the morning.

couldn't help licking his lips, but his mouth was dry and astringent, and he sighed helplessly.

"This group of people who forget their righteousness must have gone to eat meat, there is no humanity, how can you forget me!"

"Who is inhuman? Zuo Qing, or me? Xilou walked up to her from the woods with a plate of venison and said with a smile.

Su Yan smelled the fragrance from afar, and instantly refreshed himself, "Of course it's not you!" You brought me delicious food, you are really my reborn parents! So saying, he trotted over and took the venison.

"The freshly hunted deer, I roasted it myself, is it delicious?"

"Delicious! It is definitely a unique delicacy in heaven and earth! You wait a while, I'll be full. Su Yan wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

Xilou was immersed in her cute eating appearance, and handed over a piece from time to time, and finally saw that there was not much left on the plate, and muttered: Look at this amount of food, who can feed you in the future.

Seeing her suddenly laughing, Xilou asked, "What are you smiling at?" ”

"Because I'm full!"

"Just because of this? Then you're too easily satisfied! ”

Su Yan raised his head and looked at the sky that was blocked by the eaves, and as far as his eyes could see, there was only a little bit of blue, and there was a crooked neck tree outside the high wall.

She said: "It's better to have less desire, you look at those people who are lustful for profit throughout the ages, which ones have a good end?" If you live one day less than one day, you naturally have to be happy every day, so that you can live once in vain! ”

Xilou didn't speak, but there was light in his eyes: "Where in the world are there so many saints, everyone has selfish intentions, and everyone wants to live better and get more." It's just that some people just want to get a steamed bun, and some people want to rise all the way up to the imperial court..."His gaze crossed the high wall and landed in the distant sky, "It doesn't matter if the end is good or bad, all they want is the process, live a vigorous life, and die willingly." ”

"Boom..."Su Yan pondered his words.

"You little gentleman, what do you care about?" Xilou put his hand on her shoulder casually and said with a smile, "If you have this leisure, you might as well take care of your stubborn villains, and make some contribution to the academy." Speaking of which, I remembered that before Jinyun City participated in the hunt this time, I met with Changsun Xi... Jinyun City, be careful. ”

Su Yan was no better than ordinary people in Jinyun City, and Xilou's warning was not taken to heart, but his curiosity exploded: "You have a holiday with Jinyun City?" ”

Xilou smiled and said, "Holiday? I don't interfere with the river water with her well water, how can I come to celebrate the festival, but it is inevitable to see the Tao after watching people for a long time. But don't be fooled by appearances. Remember, in this Ruoshui City, especially in the Seven Senses Academy, what you see may not be true, and what you believe may not be reliable, except for Buddha and Zuo Qing, you can only believe me, understand? ”

Su Yan took his hand away and said, "Master said that no one can be credulous except him!" ”

"What your master said may not be true..."

Su Yan immediately became more serious, "My master is not just a master who teaches martial arts, he is my savior, he is like a parent's existence, a handful of and urine pull me up, what he said is natural and credible!" As he spoke, he was so angry that he wanted to leave.

Xilou hurriedly chased up and apologized: "Your master is both civil and military, a hero of the world, naturally a rare saint in the world, but I am short-sighted, don't be like me!" ”

Su Yan stared at him for a while, then burst out laughing, "I just said a few words casually, and you were in such a hurry." That's it, for your sake... Let you go! I'll go back and take a nap first, and then I'll go to drink when His Majesty has a banquet in the evening to reward the hundred officials! ”

"Ah Yan!"

Su Yan listened to his hurried voice and turned back suspiciously.

"Do you remember what I said to you that day?"

"I don't remember!"

"Did you really forget?"

"When and where did you say that?" She couldn't remember.

Xilou wanted to speak and stopped, but at the end there was only a sigh.

The hunting grounds at night are a bit desolate, the palace lights are hung high, and the night breeze is cold.

Prince Wei Zixu walked in front, from time to time to look back at Zuo Qing, all the way to the white jade paving, carved beams and paintings, the decoration of rare beasts is countless, the rare wonders everywhere, even more magnificent than the palace.

Zuo Qing didn't say anything, and Wei Zixu couldn't help but ask, "Is Mr. sure?" ”

"Your Highness doesn't believe me?" Zuo Qing stopped and looked back at him. Under the pull of the candlelight, his back was extremely thin, and even the smile that seemed to be there was nothing seemed weak.

Wei Zixu immediately greeted him with a smile: "Sir, why do you say this, this palace is just a ...... There are some worries. ”

Zuo Qing smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I have made a comprehensive plan, as long as you believe me." ”

Wei Zixu hurriedly agreed: "It's the palace that is too worried, don't worry, sir, I will cooperate with you today!" ”

Zuo Qing looked at the prince of Rong Guo, and his thoughts suddenly returned to the only few times he entered the palace when he was a child, when Wei Zhen was still the prince, Wei Zixu was still just an inconspicuous prince, and the ignorance of the child made them the closest siblings of this deep palace, but in Emperor Rong's heart, the prince is above ten thousand people under one person after all, and Wei Zixu can only bow down in front of Wei Zhen forever.

Nine years have passed, and the crown prince has long since changed hands. And the lord of the five kingdoms in front of him, Emperor Rong, can't escape the ravages of time.

Zuo Qing followed the prince and performed the courtesy of the prince unhurriedly, and seeing that Emperor Rong did not plan to arrange them, he found a place to sit down. Seeing this, Wei Zixu couldn't help but be surprised, and warned him in a low voice, but he didn't expect Zuo Qing to not listen, but instead of listening, he pulled him and pressed him in his position.

Emperor Rong looked up and saw this scene and was not angry, rubbing his temples, as if it was because of the assassination.

"Come here late at night, what's the matter?"

Wei Zixu quickly got up and saluted, "Father and Emperor are in a hurry, and he shouldn't have come to disturb him, but the lord in charge asked to see him, so Erchen took his personal favor and brought him to see you." ”

Emperor Rong stopped reading and turned his gaze to Zuo Qing, but saw that this young man was not afraid, but could look at him calmly. Seeing that he had such courage, I couldn't help but be curious.

Wei Zixu thought that Emperor Rong would not agree, and wanted to try hard to solicit it, but was stopped by Emperor Rong. He said to Zuo Qing: "The prince treats you unusually, you must have something special." ”

Zuo Qing replied respectfully: "Weichen Zuo Qing, the head of the Seven Senses Academy. ”

Emperor Rong was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized, "It turns out that you are the Zuo Qing that Mo Qing often mentioned!" He walked in front of Zuo Qing, looked up and down and couldn't help but praise, "Sure enough, it's Zhilan Yushu, and his bearing is extraordinary." ”

Seeing that Emperor Rong was very optimistic about Zuo Qing, the prince was very happy, and excitedly added: "Mr. is not only good-looking, but also talented!" In those years, he had a discussion with Confucianism in Zhao and Chu, and he won a complete victory! After that, his eyes reached out to the people around him, as if he was praising himself.

When Emperor Rong heard this, he was puzzled, so he asked Zuo Qing: "Since you have such ability, why are you willing to stay in the academy, although you are also an official, it is not weighty." ”

Zuo Qing replied humbly and politely: "It is the honor of Wechen to be appreciated by his father-in-law, as long as he can stay by his father-in-law's side, he can help one or two to be satisfied, and he doesn't dare to expect more." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Rong naturally didn't believe that there would be people in the world who didn't love power, especially those taught by Murphy. He looked at the young man in front of him, not angry and arrogant, "If this is the case, why did you know the prince?" ”

Emperor Rong's eyes stared straight at him, like a jackal full of strength, as long as he answered the slightest deviation, it would be the end of the separation of his body and head. But the crown prince would never let such a tragedy happen. I only heard Wei Zixu's panicked explanation: "Father is aware that Erchen and Mr. met by accident, and Erchen just appreciates his talent, nothing else!" He was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat, and from time to time he looked up to peek, but he knelt on the ground in fright after his face was so cold with Emperor Rong.

Zuo Qing explained to Emperor Rong calmly: "Wechen made a lot of wine, all hidden under the tree, because there are too many wine jars so that the tree can not take root, Wechen wanted to dig it out, but he was afraid that no one would buy it, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the academy that day, and after learning about it, he was willing to buy it with a lot of money, which solved Wechen's urgent need." His explanation seemed to have worked, Emperor Rong was not suspicious, and Wei Zixu breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Qing continued, "Weichen always thinks about what he can do for His Royal Highness to repay the kindness of his acquaintance, and today I finally have a chance, I hope Your Majesty will be fulfilled!" ”

"Opportunity?" Emperor Rong was confused, "You came to see you late at night, what is the matter?" ”

His Royal Highness found many suspicious points in the assassination case, but because there was no evidence, he didn't dare to face the saint, so he could only discuss it privately with Weichen. So......" Zuo Qing folded his hands, raised his forehead, and slowly knelt down, "Weichen has the courage to ask His Majesty for an order to re-investigate the assassination case." ”

Emperor Rong was puzzled: "This case has been closed, and the murderer has also been killed, but he is just a killer who hates Rong Guo." ”

"This case is by no means as simple as Your Majesty sees, the mastermind is still on the run!" The prince saw the opportunity to add.

Emperor Rong's brows were tightly locked, and his heart that was finally relaxed was all raised at this time, "How can I trust you?" ”

"In addition to Your Majesty that day, Wechen will also go to the same destination, come to think of it, the purpose of the assassin is not just Your Majesty, but also Wechen! Yes, there can't be only one assassin in this assassination, there must be a mastermind! ”

"Guess who it is?"

"No matter who it is, for the safety of His Majesty and all the ministers, this case must be thoroughly investigated!"

Emperor Rong raised his eyebrows, looked at Wei Zixu, and asked him, "What is the prince's good plan?" ”

Wei Zixu arched his hand and replied: "The assassin can easily sneak into the heavily guarded hunting ground, and his ability is by no means ordinary, this person should be among us, as for who it is, we will know after the retainers try it." ”

Emperor Rong's face was full of sorrow, and he nodded: "It's up to you to investigate thoroughly." ”

Wei Zixu immediately bowed his head and said yes, and said: "However, Erchen needs Zuo Qing's help, and we will secretly investigate together, so as not to startle the snake." ”

"Give you two days, if there is really a murderer, I will reward you! If not, you will be condemned for deceit. ”

"The retainers will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

As soon as the order was finished here, there was a sudden loud noise outside the hall, and through the window, I saw that the fire was already in the distance, Zuo Qing and Wei Zixu looked at each other, and immediately rushed out, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers poured into the hall and gathered in front of Emperor Rong.

I saw that billowing smoke was coming out of the courtyard, and the unpleasant smell of burning filled the air, everyone fled in panic, and Su Yan and Xilou also fled with the crowd.

Emperor Rong's face was cold: "You go to investigate as soon as possible, I will let Xuanting secretly assist you to find out who it is, and I will severely punish you!" ”

At the entrance of the courtyard, Ge Yiyan was directing the fire extinguishing, the Praetorian Guards had already surrounded, and the eldest grandson Wuzheng was leading several people from the criminal department to search near the fire point.

Zuo Qing walked to Nangong Run's side to ask about the situation, Nangong Yun said strangely three times in a row, and then said: "The banquet has just ended, and before I fell asleep, I heard someone shouting to take away the water, and when I came out, I saw that your room was burning, but the strange thing is that you are not in the room." He was stunned for a moment and looked at Zuo Qing, "It won't be your servant Yansheng......

"Yansheng was not in the room, but went out with me to breathe, but I didn't expect to escape."

"There's something in the boss."

Zuo Qing sighed and said with a smile: "Who knows if it was an accident or someone deliberately set the fire, thinking back to the past two days, there have been frequent incidents in the hunting ground, which is unlucky." ”

Nangong Yun comforted him: "Don't think about it, there are three layers here, and flies can't fly out, I think if someone really sets fire, it should be able to find out." Saying that, he left him and ran to the eldest grandson, like a dog: "What clues can you find?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuzheng kicked the door frame that was burned red by the fire, and was a little depressed: "I interrogated the patrol people, and said that Zuo Qing did not return to the room after the banquet, since he did not come back, it is impossible to light the candle, as for whether it was an accident, it is still unknown." ”

Nangong Yun glanced at the mess in his eyes and said, "Maybe someone deliberately set the fire, you forgot the assassination that happened in the west of the hunting ground before?" ”

"The murderer is not already in the case, everyone is dead."

"It's not easy, it must not be easy!"

When the eldest grandson heard his words, he couldn't help but be curious: "What is Lord Nangong's opinion?" ”

"I don't dare to be, I just think it's strange, since I can sneak into the hunting ground to assassinate Your Majesty, how can I be captured alive so easily, and confess so quickly? The most suspicious thing is the identity of this murderer. ”

"Jianghu people?"

Nangong Yun nodded: "It's not a story in the book, how can it be so easy to get mixed up with His Majesty, it must be someone from the hunting ground who brought it in and ambushed here......" Speaking of this, he closed his mouth in horror and looked at the eldest grandson Wuzheng, only to see his expression of watching the play, he couldn't help but ask: "I'm also guessing, adults shouldn't have heard it, haha!" ”

The eldest grandson left the place thoughtfully but thoughtfully.

Because only Zuo Qing's house caught fire, although it affected the neighbors, the fire was extinguished in time and did not cause major losses.

Zuo Qing re-lived in the room, and just happened to meet Su Yan to see him, and the eyes of the two fell on the place that was burned by the fire again.

"It's not going to be another song, is it?" Su Yan had palpitations.

"Yes or no, there is a price to pay." He said coldly.
