Everyone rushed in together, and when they saw Lei Yuan, who was pale and looked pained in front of the couch, Nan Ying, who was the leader, was startled, and hurriedly saluted: "Third Highness." ”

Lei Yuan struggled to straighten up and said, "What's the matter with General Nan?"

Nanying stood solemnly and said, "Your Royal Highness, the king invites you to enter the palace." ”

Lei Yuan coughed violently, he stroked his chest, and said with a painful expression: "I don't dare to enter the palace to drive in shock, and I ask the general to inform Brother Wang that when my condition improves, I will personally apologize to Brother Wang." ”

Nan Ying hurriedly said: "The king has always valued the relationship between brothers and sisters, since the third highness is unwell, even if he fails to enter the palace to see the driver, the king will not blame him if he thinks about it, and the third highness will recuperate well, and his majesty will return to the palace to return to the king." ”

Lei Yuan replied: "Thank you General Nan, General Nan will go slowly." ”

Nan Ying turned around and said to everyone: "Go back to the palace." The crowd hurriedly withdrew.

Lu Luan sent them out of the mansion, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, ran back to the bedroom quickly, stared at Lei Yuan and asked, "When did you come back?" Why didn't you tell me, do you know that I was scared out of a cold sweat outside just now. ”

Lei Yuan smiled: "I just came back, I just came in before you." ”

Lu Luan said: "You can really come up with a way to pretend to be sick, but it won't be long before Yu Yu will send a doctor to diagnose you, what should I do then?"

Lei Yuan said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, they can't see it." He thought that the next time Yu Yu sent someone, it would not be just to treat him.

After Nanying returned to the palace, he truthfully reported what he saw to Zhu Yu, who was angry and said: "It's just the son of a slut, what qualifications do you have to call me a brother and sister, sooner or later I will kill him." ”

He looked at Nanying not far away, and said: "You go and transfer some guards who are highly cultivated, and tell them that whoever can take the head of Lei Yuan, this king will seal him with thousands of households, and he will go tonight, if you can't kill him, you don't have to come back." ”

Nanying replied tremblingly, "Yes." ”

Yu Yu reprimanded: "Don't go quickly." ”

Nanying hurriedly retreated.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, scattered some obscure stars next to it, the silver moonlight sprinkled on the ground, the surroundings were quiet, and a few cicadas were heard from time to time in the trees, which were repeated monotonously in this silent night sky.

The wing room on the east side of the Luan Mansion was still brightly lit, and a figure was reflected in the window, standing motionless in front of the candlestick, and the candlestick pulled his shadow to the elder, he raised his head and looked at the rafters on the roof, as if waiting for something.

The wind was blowing outside, and he closed the fan in his hand, squeezed it tightly in his hand, and murmured, "Here it is." ”

There were footsteps on the roof, three, five, ten, fifteen, eighteen, and he counted them carefully with his ears sideways, and finally determined that there were eighteen people on the roof.

Now it is the third watch, and at this time, there are eighteen people with high cultivation on the roof where he is sleeping, and they definitely don't come to chat with him and drink tea!

He lowered his arm, and when he raised it again, there were three more darts in his hand that glowed with cold light, and he closed his eyes, and with a flick of his hand, several men in black rolled down from the roof, and he counted them, exactly three.

Lei Yuan jumped onto the roof from the gap in his breath, he looked at the remaining fifteen people, shook his fan, and said, "Didn't your master tell you that if you can't kill me, you can't go back alive?"

The man in black at the head said in a deep voice: "Let's go together." ”

More than a dozen people pounced on each other and surrounded Lei Yuan, Lei Yuan repeated his old trick, knocking down three black-clothed people on each side with darts, and there were only nine black-clothed people left on the roof, Lei Yuan reached out and touched his cuffs, and shouted, "Oops, it's not good." ”

When everyone saw that his poisonous dart was powerful, they thought that he was going to throw a dart again, so they hurriedly scattered to dodge.

As soon as the black-clothed man at the head saw his expression, he expected that there were no more darts on his cuffs, and swung his sword at him, Lei Yuan jumped up, turned over in the air, went around behind the black-clothed man, and snatched the sword in his hand, he looked at the hilt carefully, as if he was talking to himself: "This sword looks so familiar, it seems that I have only seen it during the day, isn't it General Nan?"

The black-clothed man at the head was full of shock, and stepped forward to grab the sword, Lei Yuan threw the sword into the courtyard, and the sword sank straight into the bluestone slab, leaving only the hilt exposed.

The others didn't dare to step forward again, and froze in place.

Lei Yuan withdrew his hand and said, "General Nan came to me for tea, and you don't need to bring so many people with you to drink tea, right?"

The man in black was stunned, reached out and tore off the mask on his face, and saluted, "Third Highness." ”

Lei Yuan stretched out his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Come down first, I won't embarrass you." With that, Lei Yuan jumped down first and stood in the courtyard.

Nanying and his party jumped down, knelt on the ground and said: "The Third Highness forgives the sin, we are also forced to be helpless, we know that the enemy is no more than the Third Highness, and now we only want to die." ”

Lei Yuan paused, stepped forward to help Nan Ying up and said: "I know your difficulties, you can all leave on your own today, and I can also turn a blind eye, as if this incident has never happened." ”

Nan Ying sighed: "The Third Highness is kind-hearted and doesn't care about us, but if we fail in our mission, it will be a death to go back." ”

Lei Yuan thought for a while and said, "If you don't dislike it, you can leave the royal city and follow me back to the mountain." ”

Nan Ying knelt down again, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the grace of the Third Highness not to kill, even if we are cattle and horses, we will definitely repay the Third Highness for saving my life." ”

Lei Yuan hurriedly said: "You don't have to be polite, you can stay here today, and when I come back tomorrow, I will discuss how to return to the mountain." ”

When Lu Luan heard the sound of the fight, Lei Yuan's bedroom had already opened the skylight, and there were rubble fragments everywhere, he looked at the black-clothed man rolling on the ground not far away, and wondered, "What's going on?"

Lei Yuan smiled and pulled Lu Luan away and said, "As you can see, there are assassins in the house. ”

Lu Luan exclaimed, "Assassin?

Lei Yuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Lu Luan said: "Then why don't you take them down?"

Lei Yuan said: "Don't worry about them, wait until dawn tomorrow, the assassin's matter, Yu Yu will naturally give us an explanation." ”

If General Rinan makes any small moves tonight, he will catch them in front of Hakuha tomorrow morning, and let Hakuha make his own decisions, and Hakuha should stop for a while if they don't do anything else, after all, his enemy is only Matsuba.

In the early dynasty, Yu Yu looked at the people in five-color court clothes and whispered, and felt a wave of annoyance in his heart for no reason: the assassins sent to Luan's mansion last night didn't even come back last night, did the mission fail?

The attendant stood in front of the throne and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is something to start, and there is nothing to retreat from." ”

Everyone was silent, and the attendant looked at everyone's expressions and shouted, "Retreat ......"

"Wait. There was a shout from the crowd.

The attendant followed the voice and saw Lei Yuan caressing his chest.

Yu Yu straightened up, collected the anger on his face, pulled out a smile, and said pretending to be concerned: "Third brother is in better health?"

Lei Yuan saluted and said: "Thank you Brother Wang for your concern, the younger brother is much better, and the younger brother is here to apologize to Brother Wang." ”

As soon as everyone saw that something was wrong, they began to talk in whispers.

Yu Yu raised his hand and said, "What do you mean by what the third brother said?"

Lei Yuancheng said in fear: "Back to Brother Wang, when I was resting in the second brother's mansion yesterday, dozens of masked black-clothed people with advanced cultivation came to assassinate them, but fortunately, the guards in the second brother's mansion were alert and took them down in time. Lei Yuan said, stretched out his hand into the air, slashed, and a sword immediately appeared on the ground.

Someone recognized the sword, pointed at it and said, "Isn't this General Nan's matching sword?"

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately exploded.

The feather on the throne looked restless, he looked at the sword at Lei Yuan's feet and asked, "Where did the third brother find this sword?"

Lei Yuan arched his hand and said, "It's on the assassin's body." ”

Yu Yu's face was very ugly, he calmed down, and said: "This sword is indeed General Nan's, but this king sent General Nan to do business elsewhere as early as yesterday, and General Nan has already left the royal city, maybe it was left somewhere and was picked up by someone with a heart." He turned to look at Lei Yuan and said, "The third brother is frightened, is he injured?

Lei Yuan hurriedly said: "The younger brother is not injured, but I just want to ask Brother Wang to administer justice for the younger brother, find out the mastermind behind the assassin for the younger brother, and give the younger brother justice." ”

Yu Yu hurriedly said: "This is natural, the third brother can rest assured, the third brother will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and give the third brother a satisfactory explanation, I see that the third brother is unwell, so ask someone to send you back for the brother." ”

Lei Yuan saluted and said, "Brother Lao Wang bothered. ”

Yu Yu said politely: "You and I are brothers, and the third brother doesn't have to see each other." ”

Lei Yuan smiled: "Yes." ”

When Lei Yuan left the court, Yu Yu's face gradually turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Lei Yuan's departing back and said, "Retreat from the court." ”

The people saluted and dispersed.

Lei Yuan thought of Yu Yu's angry appearance, and was in a good mood, and leisurely shook his fan back to Lu Luan's mansion.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Lu Luan asked, "What's wrong?"

"Today in the court, I am half angry with Yu Yu. ”

"What did he say?"

"He said he wanted to help me track down the assassins, and he said he wanted to get me justice. ”

"I have prepared the Luan car, you wait a while to leave a letter to Zhu Yu, and leave the royal city before dusk today, I am worried that Xi Yu will not die and will attack you. ”

"It's okay, it's not safe for them to stay here, I'll take them back and settle down first. ”

"Be careful on the road. ”

"Second brother, take care. ”

After the two brothers said goodbye solemnly, Lei Yuan took Nanying and his family to drive the Luan car and left the royal city.

Several people disguised themselves as ordinary demon civilians, and after leaving the Luan Mansion, they hurriedly walked in the direction of the city gate.

The guards did not suspect the identity of the people, only asked a few words lightly, and then let them go.

More than a dozen people smoothly left the royal city, did not dare to delay at all, and ran in the direction of the mountain.

When Lei Yuan and everyone appeared at the gate of the mountain, the sky darkened, and Guan Yuan was really stunned when he saw the people behind Lei Yuan.

Lei Yuan called Guan Yuan aside, pointed to the group behind him and ordered: "Guan Yuan, you take them down first, find someone to tidy up the room for them, and they will live here in the future." ”

Guan Yuan was very surprised in his heart, when did this master, who had never interfered in meddle in affairs, change his personality and start caring about others? Guan Yuan suppressed the question in his heart and said, "Obey." ”

When everyone followed Guan Yuan to leave, Lei Yuan stopped Nan Ying and said, "General Nan, I will go to the study in half an hour, and I have something to tell you." ”

Nanying was a little stunned, and then replied, "Yes." ”

Lei Yuan went to the dormitory to change his clothes, rushed to the concubine's dormitory to ask for peace, and heard the maid outside the palace say that the concubine had fallen asleep, Lei Yuan decided not to disturb anymore, and hurriedly retreated.

It was still early before the agreed time with Nanying, and Lei Yuan had nothing to do, so he planned to go to the study to wait for Nanying first. But when Lei Yuan arrived at the study, he found that Nanying had been standing in front of the study door for a long time.

Lei Yuan stepped forward and said, "The general has arrived early. ”

Nanying heard Lei Yuan's voice and turned to salute.

Lei Yuan smiled faintly, stepped forward and pushed the door of the study open, and walked in.

He sat in front of the desk, pointed to the bamboo chair on the other side of the table and said, "General Nan doesn't have to be formal, please take a seat." ”

Nanying hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward and sat down.

Lei Yuan flipped through the bookcase with a smile, took out a folded cloth, handed it to Nan Ying, and said, "General, please take a look." ”

Seeing that Lei Yuan's face was full of smiles, Nan Ying reached out and took the cloth and slowly opened it, and when he saw the figure on it, he quickly stood up and knelt on the ground.

Lei Yuan also stood up and asked, "What is the general doing here?"

Nan Ying raised his head and said, "I don't know what the Third Highness means?"

Lei Yuan pointed to the cloth and said, "This is the defense map of my mountain." ”

Nan Ying said: "Your Highness once said that Your Highness saved the life of your family, and your Highness will definitely repay Your Highness, but Your Highness doesn't believe Your Highness?"

Lei Yuan smiled: "The general is too worried, please get up first." ”

Nanying slowly stood up and stood aside with his head bowed.

Lei Yuan continued: "General Nan doesn't have to worry, I don't doubt it, and I don't mean to test the general, but I heard the second brother say before that General Nan cultivates to be strong and keeps his promises, Lei Yuan just wants to ask the general to stay in the mountain and be a general of the guard." ”

Nan Ying was shocked, shook his head and said: "The Third Highness can take in the ministers regardless of the past suspicions, and the ministers are already satisfied, how dare they occupy the position of generals?"

Lei Yuan said: "The general doesn't have to be presumptuous, Yu Yu has already killed me, he is afraid that he will not let me go so easily, although I have no intention of fighting with him, but I must always think about the people on the mountain, if the general wants to repay me, this is the best way, don't shirk anymore." ”

After listening to Lei Yuan's words, Nan Ying burst into tears, he stepped forward and picked up the defense map, raised it above his head and saluted: "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness." ”

Lei Yuan said with a smile: "The boat is tired, the general is tired of thinking, let's go down and rest first, and discuss other things tomorrow." ”

Nanying respectfully stepped aside.

Lei Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, followed out, and closed the door of the study.

In the past few days, he has been worried in the royal city, and he didn't dare to sleep too deeply at night, and when he returned to the dormitory, he felt that he was sleepy, so he washed his face at will, and fell asleep on the couch.

As soon as he woke up, it was almost noon, Lei Yuan felt a lot more energetic, got up and stretched.

There was a deep knock on the door outside, and Lei Yuan asked, "Who?"

Guan Yuan's voice came from outside the door: "Back to Your Highness, I have something important." ”

Lei Yuan replied, "Got it, I'll come out now." ”

Lei Yuan hurriedly changed his clothes, pushed open the door and said, "What's wrong?"

Guan Yuan stepped forward and approached Lei Yuan's ear and said, "Yesterday, someone saw that the Baili clan village was full of white flags. ”

Mortals use white flags as mourning flags, as funeral ceremonies, and generally speaking, only royal funerals are eligible to use white flags.

Lei Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "Who is it?"

Guan Yuan said: "The person sent to inquire came back and said that on the night three days ago, the white bird Wang Yu died. ”

Lei Yuan muttered: "On the night of three days ago, wasn't it the day I went to Baili?"

Guan Yuan looked at Lei Yuan's face, and his expression became a little ugly: "I heard that it was because someone broke into Baili to assassinate Baili that the Baili King died." ”

Lei Yuan exclaimed, "How can this be?"

Guan Yuandao: "What should I do now?"

Lei Yuan said, "Is there any movement on the Baili Clan's side?"

Guan Yuan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Not yet, Bai Li is up and down, they are all doing funerals now, and they don't seem to have found out who the assassin is." ”

Guan Yuan paused, and asked with some hesitation: "That day, the Third Highness went to the Baili Clan,...... Could it be the hand of the Third Highness?"

Lei Yuan stared at Guan Yuan and said, "How can I not get along with a mortal?" "Don't speculate, send someone to Baili to inquire again, if there is any trouble, come back and tell you." ”

After Guan Yuan left, Lei Yuan stared at the window quietly and fell into deep thought: he just went to Baili, and the Baili King passed away, how could there be such a coincidence, could it be that when he went to the Baili Clan, he was discovered?

The more Lei Yuan thought about it, the more wrong it became, the person who hated himself the most in this world was no one else except Yu Yu, could it be that he sent someone to do the death of the White Bird King? Blame him for the death of the White Bird King, and then use the Divine Realm to suppress him?

What a borrowed knife to kill people!, but how did Yu Yu, who was thousands of miles away, know his movements?

The mountain is also mixed with the people of the haze!

Lei Yuan kept a calm face and shouted outside, "Someone." ”

The attendant outside the door responded, "Your Highness." ”

Lei Yuan said in a deep voice: "You have summoned all the servants and servants on the mountain to the main hall, and don't miss a single one." ”

Seeing that Lei Yuan's face was not good, the servant hurriedly took the order to retreat.

A cold light flashed in Lei Yuan's eyes, his fists clenched, and his bones gurgled.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, and when they heard the summons, they hurried over, and when they saw the three highnesses of the head, their hearts beat drums, and the smarter ones should have thought that something important must have happened on the mountain, and they wanted the three highnesses to interrogate them personally, and when they saw Lei Yuan's expression, they didn't dare to make a sound, and lowered their heads one after another.
