The surprise attack on the king of Wei failed, and he was already startled, and the palace must be heavily guarded. In a short period of time, she had no chance to assassinate again, so she didn't waste time here.

The actions of Youren behind enemy lines are of course organized and large-scale, Yan Saburo is curious about what position she is in and how much power she has, but he also knows that He Xiaoyuan will not tell him.

"By the way, have you seen King Wei?"

"See. We were the guards and rushed into the Manna Palace, and he and the queen were tired of sitting on the couch, wearing only their middle clothes, and they looked like they had seen a ghost when they saw us. Thinking of that scene, He Xiaoyuan sneered, "What a patriotic emperor, frightened like a plague chicken, actually hid behind the queen!"

"What is the thunderbolt that fell from the sky?"

"We were all about to chop him, and he preemptively activated the talisman artifact. He Xiaoyuan smiled, "That thing is so powerful, we didn't know it beforehand." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Most of the people I brought in were killed by it." "The rest died in the encirclement battle, and, and was killed by her earlier.

This time, the operation was still underprepared.

Qu Yunhe moved his eyebrows*** Wang Bao's baby, can you easily let people know?

"Well, that's the end of our cooperation. Yan Saburo smiled at her politely, "I hope you recover soon." ”

He Xiaoyuan opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, just nodded.

The frustration in her heart could not be relieved. The operation mechanism of the fixed astrolabe, the unknown waste well of Tianyao Palace, she has such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she didn't even cut off the head of the dog emperor, isn't God on the side of the country?

Yan Saburo saw that she had to deal with the wound, and turned around and walked out.

He had to make a trip into town. Before diving into the Dark River this time, he left the white cat in Shengyi.

￥￥￥￥￥

Tianyao Palace, Yunhua Palace.

"Suicide? How can this be reasonable!" The gray-clothed guard chief who had used a windbag for Yan Saburo and the others stood with his hands bowed, and the man sitting behind the desk listened to his report and slapped the sandalwood case heavily, "Ke Yanhua, can't you even look at a few prisoners?"

He is nearly thirty years old, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, his white skin is more and more dark circles, and his eyes are bloodshot, obviously he hasn't slept well all night.

There are people who can sneak into the Manna Hall to seek his life, how much experience does King Wei have to sit back and relax?

Ke Yanhua lowered his head: "Your Majesty, when we caught those four thieves, we searched all over the body, including the teeth, and did not hide drugs. ”

King Wei sighed: "Didn't hide, then why did they die violently!"

"What Wechen wants to say is that the dead soldiers who carry out this kind of assassination mission usually hide drugs that kill themselves. They didn't bring it, which shows that the people behind the scenes have other means to ensure that they will not confess. Ke Yanhua said softly, "There are many techniques that can remotely control people's life and death, can the king track it down?"

King Wei waved his hand, the unfavorable situation in the south had made him unsafe for several months, coupled with the midnight shock last night, he was very angry now: "Death is dead, do you care how they died? ”

Ke Yanhua pursed his lips and stopped talking.

King Wei saw it: "If you have something to say, do you still have reservations in front of Lone?"

"There are clues. Ke Yanhua hurriedly said, "Although you can't pry open the mouths of dead people, there are still some clues on them." These people's hats are decorated with red beads, although they are not valuable, they can easily resist the attack of the eaves beasts of the Avatar Temple. I'm afraid that no more than ten people in the palace know the secrets of the eaves beast. ”

Get rid of him, get rid of King Wei, and then get rid of the queen who lives in the Ganlu Palace, and only seven people are left.

King Wei narrowed his eyes and said after a while, "The others are all old people in the palace...... Could it be Concubine Liao? She praised the elegance and comfort of the Ganlu Hall more than once. Before the queen, she lived in the Manna Hall for half a month. ”

When it came to the concubine, Ke Yanhua didn't dare to answer, only King Wei's eyes flickered.

"A year ago, there was a slave in the Ganlu Hall who forgot to bring his hat and walked out, and was directly pecked to death by the eaves beast. At least five or six people present saw that scene, and it alarmed the queen. Ke Yanhua was cautious, "Although all the witnesses were executed afterwards, is it difficult to guarantee that the news did not leak out and was obtained by the thieves?"

King Wei was silent for a while before he said, "It's not impossible." What else?"

"The clothes of these men are very simple, there are no obvious signs, and the materials are ordinary, but one of them wears leather boots that are a little special. Ke Yanhua said, walked around the door, and found a big eunuch, who knelt down when he entered the hall, holding a boot in his hand, and the surface was stained with mud and blood. "This is Gonggong Xu of the Accumulation Division, who is in charge of the Piku of Tianyao Palace. He knew where the leather came from. ”

The accumulation department is in charge of all kinds of treasury in the palace, and the leather warehouse is in charge of this Gonggong Xu.

It's dead man's stuff. King Wei showed disgust on his face, but he still said, "Take it." ”

At this time, he cautiously moved a few steps forward, but he didn't dare to really hand it to the king, but just pointed out his boots to King Wei: "Your Majesty, just this pair, the materials and workmanship are different from the usual. ”

King Wei recognized it for a while before saying, "This is ...... Sheepskin?"

"Yes. Those who can wear leather boots, except for court officials and foreign soldiers, are the elite of the army. "There is a saying among the people that "wearing boots and hats is an official body", how can ordinary soldiers have that qualification? They wear bast shoes and cloth shoes, and the rebels even wear straw sandals. ”

When King Wei saw it, there were indeed traces of repair on the heel of the boots, which may have been worn badly. He was even more impatient: "What do you want me to see?" He is not a shoemaker, how can he see so many doorways?

"The material of the leather boots is just ordinary sheepskin, nothing special, but the leather that has been patched up is not. Gonggong Xu turned the material over to King Wei, "There are faint small pittings on the material, different sizes, different shades, and a sense of protrusion in the hand, which should be from Heiyuan sheep." ”

"Black walled sheep?" King Wei couldn't help frowning when he heard this term for the first time.

"This kind of sheepskin material is not as good as the central part of the country, and it rarely appears in China. The breed of Kuragaki sheep is also only found in the Gobi Desert in the north. ”

King Wei's pupils shrank: "North, are you sure?"

"When the slave was young, he went to the north with his father, and bought Kuragaki sheepskin gloves and jackets there, and he was very impressed. Gonggong Xu hurriedly said, "Curry also has a black walled sheepskin, which can be compared with the two." ”

Obviously, the boot-wearer has lived in the north for many years, and the boots are worn, and he repairs them with local sheepskins, which gives him the characteristics of two kinds of leather for a pair of boots.

King Wei took a deep breath: "North? good, very good." ”
