The mud-gold glazed pieces shone on the roof,

It's not glaring.

Yuan Xi's eyes shrunk, half-squatting on the roof, like a fierce beast waiting for an opportunity to escape.

In the rear, Jia Nanfeng and Ning Kai did not catch up.

For on the ridge of the roof before him stood nearly twenty men, blocking the way.

In each person's hand, they have a crossbow in their hand.

Three arrows were mounted on the crossbow, glowing with a faint glow.

Yuan Xi had never seen a crossbow, but he knew arrows.

Glancing quickly to the left and right, he saw the same battle.

He had nowhere to run.

Jia Nanfeng quickly whispered to Ning Kai: "These people are all good hands I selected from the army, and the ones they hold in their hands are called the Xiao Yuan Rong crossbow, which is based on the Zhuge Lian crossbow made by the god in our Shu, which can shoot three short arrows at a time, which is not small, and the tip of the arrow is all quenched with poison." ”

Ning Kai took half a step back and said, "Master, let's take a step back, so as not to be accidentally injured by these crossbow arrows, so many people are holding crossbows, these hundreds of arrows fly over, so Yuan Xi must not be pierced into a hedgehog?"

Jia Nanfeng flipped his wrist, and a small flying locust stone appeared in his hand, and said to Ning Kai: "Keep an eye on it, don't let that kid run away from us." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, and the flying locust stone in his hand shot out, heading straight for the back of Yuan Xi's head.

Sweat, dripping on the glazed tiles.

Yuan Xi rarely sweats, and this day is not the height of summer.

Even if he was sweating, Yuan Xi's heart was still very quiet, extremely quiet.

Sweating is his body's instinctive reaction to external dangers.

Tranquility is his sober mind at all times.

The sound of breaking the air sounded from behind, and with it, there was also a net of arrows.

The net is shrinking rapidly,

Yuan Xi is like a swimming fish caught in a net.

He moved.

If he doesn't move, he'll be shot to death.

He didn't want to die, he had only one word in his head, live.

After popping up one locust stone, Jia Nanfeng quickly popped out three more, sealing Yuan Xi's retreat.

Fortunately, Yuan Xi is better at playing with stones than Jia Nanfeng.

He leaned back, flicked his hands, and several clouds flew out.

The stones flew faster than the feather arrows, not to mention the hidden weapons that the two masters popped out, flying in the opposite direction.

The arrow net was still shrinking, and Yuan Xi's Yunzi had already broken several flying locust stones one after another, and could even continue to fly towards Jia Nanfeng and Ning Kai.

It's just that this kind of power is no longer too much of a threat to the two.

The two of them slapped the clouds down with two palms and looked at Yuan Xi.

Ning Qi was surprised: "Is this okay? It seems that we still underestimate him!"

The corners of Jia Nanfeng's mouth raised slightly, "The more powerful he is, wouldn't it be better?"

After leaning back, Yuan Xi fell on the roof ridge and quickly rolled a few times to one side, and at the same time, the internal force was released, breaking several glazed tiles.

The herringbone ridge had one side of the arrow net that could no longer reach him.

But there were still two sides of the netting of arrows that were about to be built on this side of the roof.

Yuan Xi stopped flipping, turned his back to the sky, and just lay on the roof, slapped the roof with both palms, and the fragments of glazed tiles shattered by him scattered in all directions.

It is also thanks to the roof of the palace, if it was the roof of an ordinary person, it would have been broken by Yuan Xi a long time ago.

Still, there was the sound of wooden planks shattering.

Yuan Xi slammed the roof.

With a loud "pop", Yuan Xi had disappeared above the roof.

The guards in the courtyard rushed into the house.

Yuan Xi fell into the air with one hand, and when he saw everyone rushing into the house, he kicked the roof and threw one arm, and the person was already flying out with the flying pieces of broken wood.

Fragments of wood flew up, blocking a dozen feathered arrows.

Fortunately, this little Yuan Rong crossbow was difficult to load, and after one blow, all the black-clothed people drew their knives one after another and killed Yuan Xi.

The figure turned sharply, Yuan Xi kicked a few times, and broken wood and broken tiles shot out in all directions.

Several people were hit, rolled over and fell from the roof, but many more rushed over.

originally thought that Yuan Xi would jump into the house, but Jia Nanfeng and Ning Kai glanced at each other and were about to step forward.

If you give Yuan Xi a turtle in an urn, Jia Nanfeng will make a few more dead shots, and you can ensure that there is no proof of death.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them were about to get up, they saw Yuan Xi kill again.

Jia Nanfeng said to Ning Kai: "This son has a strong sense of fighting, while he is entangled with everyone, you go over and drag him down!"

Ning Kai looked back at Jia Nanfeng.

Jia Nanfeng said in a low voice, "If you are not sure of killing him, put some water!"

Ning Kai flew down and killed Yuan Xi who had fallen in the courtyard.

It was easy to become a target when he was on the roof, and after Yuan Xi determined the closest direction to the high wall of the palace, he jumped off the roof.

On the ridge of the roof, the black-clothed guards jumped off the roof one after another, raising their knives to kill Yuan Xi, and some people walked quickly on the ridge to prevent Yuan Xi from jumping on the roof again and escaping.

Jia Nanfeng also walked briskly on the roof, he didn't waste his flying locust stone anymore, just stared closely at the courtyard, looking for an opportunity to give Yuan Xi a fatal blow.

Yuan Xi didn't want to hurt the lives of the soldiers, so he dodged everyone's attacks with his body and ran in the direction of the high wall.

Fortunately, there are many rockeries and strange rocks, ponds and gardens in the palace courtyard, which are not open, and there are not many people who can get close to him, so he does not pose any threat.

Ning Kai shouted loudly: "Yuan Xi, suffer death!"

Yuan Xi looked back and saw that it was Ning Kai who had killed him from behind

Seeing that there was a black-clothed guard in front of him with a knife rushing towards him, Yuan Xi took out the chess jar, reached out and grabbed it, and his fingers flicked.

The man in black who rushed to the front with a knife couldn't dodge, and was beaten squarely, and they couldn't afford it.

Yuan Xi glanced behind him.

There was still a man in black who continued to raise his knife and rushed over, and at this time, Ning Kai had already killed behind Yuan Xi, and slapped Yuan Xi's heart with a palm.

Yuan Xi slapped back his hand and took Ning Kai's blow.

Ning Kai didn't move, Yuan Xi slid back a few steps, his body bowed, dodged two knives, slapped his palms, and the two of them fell twice.

Yuan Xi glanced at it, didn't think much about it, turned around, and flew onto the roof again.

Seeing Yuan Xi on the roof, Jia Nanfeng flew after him, and Ning Kai also followed.

Yuan Xi took out a handful of clouds from his arms again.

At this time, I can't be reluctant to Yunzi.

Otherwise, if he was stopped by those black-clothed guards, and then let Jia Nanfeng and Ning Kai catch up, Yuan Xi would really not be able to escape.

You can't beat it.

However, Yuan Xi believed that he ran faster than the two of them.

With both hands flicked several times, a muffled snort came.

Seeing that Yuan Xi was about to escape from the palace, Jia Nanfeng shouted: "Commander Gao, this son wants to escape, quickly order the city to be closed, and must not let him escape from the city." ”

Yuan Xi was already standing on the courtyard wall of the palace, turned around and popped two clouds towards Jia Nanfeng, and then jumped off the city wall.

Jia Nanfeng and Ning Kai both stood still on the wall, and Ning Kai asked, "Master, are you still chasing?"

Jia Nanfeng glanced at the guards in the palace, and said in a low voice: "Do the drama to the end, chase!"

——————————————————

In the palace,

Seeing the princess walk in, Fan Liye stood up and stepped forward.

Although he wiped his face with a wet towel, Fan Liye still had some blood stains on his body.

Princess Shu saw the bloodstain on Fan Liye's left shoulder at a glance, hurriedly grabbed his arm, and asked eagerly while looking at it carefully: "Ye'er, what's the matter with this bloodstain on your body? Are you injured? What happened? What about your father?"

Facing Princess Shu's series of questions, Fan Liye took a deep breath and said, "Mother, the child is fine!"

After speaking, he waved his hand behind Princess Shu.

The two personal maids who followed Princess Shu in bowed their heads and retreated.

The door to the main hall was shut.

Wei Tiangang and Lu Yiping also stood up and stepped forward.

As if feeling that something was wrong, Princess Shu grabbed Fan Liye's arm and asked, "Ye'er, where is your father? Shouldn't he be here?"

Fan Liye's eyes were red, tears were pouring down, he reached out and pressed Princess Shu's hand, his shoulders trembled, and he couldn't cry.

Wei Tiangang and Lu Yiping saluted the princess of Shu slightly.

Princess Shu looked at Wei Tiangang, her voice trembling a little, "Wei Shuai, the king, the king ......."

Wei Tiangang and Lu Yiping glanced at each other, sighed, and said to Fan Liye first: "Your Highness, please also focus on the overall situation!"

Fan Liye slowly stopped crying, looked at Princess Shu with teary eyes and said, "Mother, father, he was assassinated......"

Princess Shu was dizzy, and she was about to fall backwards.

Fan Liye hurriedly reached out and hugged his biological mother.

Wei Tiangang said to Fan Liye: "Your Highness, the princess here, you must be stable!"

Fan Liye nodded, half of his crying was true.

Hearing Fan Liye whispering in her ear, Princess Shu woke up slowly, holding her chest with one hand and gently covering her face with the other, tears falling like rain.

Fan Liye said in a low voice: "Mother, please mourn, my father suddenly suffered this difficulty, and the stakes are very important, just now I discussed with Wei Shuai and General Lu, and the matter of my father's control must not be leaked out for the time being, and I cannot mourn until my palace is stable." ”

Princess Shu looked angry, temporarily stopped crying, glared at Fan Liye and said: "Why? Your father, as the king of Bazhou, can't he be buried after death?

Wei Tiangang coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Princess, now Your Highness is still on the way home, at this time, I have no owner in Bazhou, if the news of the king's driving reaches other states, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, so the old minister and the second highness suggested that they delay for some time before mourning." ”

When Princess Shu heard this, it turned out that she was waiting for her eldest son to return, and she was sad, and said to Fan Liye with red eyes: "Poor your eldest brother, I haven't even seen your father for the last time." ”

Fan Liye had to comfort in a whisper: "Mother, my father will not be buried for the time being, and when the eldest brother comes back and inherits the throne, everything will be stable." ”

Fan Liye knows what kind of words work best.

Sure enough, after hearing Fan Liye like this, Princess Shu muttered: "Yes, yes, your eldest brother is going to inherit the throne, yes, he will be the king of Shu, so that there will be no chaos, no chaos......"

Fan Liye's heart ached slightly, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.

From the day he was born, in the eyes of his mother, everything was the eldest brother's, and he, a young son, seemed to be superfluous.

He even suspected that he was not born to his mother.

When he was young, he had heard his mother say to his father several times that it would be nice if Ye'er was a girl.

He couldn't figure out why he should be a girl.

He's more of a man than his big brother.

Since he was born, he has never eaten a mouthful of milk from his mother, anyway, the palace can afford to invite a wet nurse.

When I was a child, my eldest brother smiled and told him, the reason why my mother gave birth to you is because I am hungry for milk.

Fan Liye didn't know if this was true or not, but he had heard his nurse say that after giving birth to him, the princess's milk was actually very sufficient.

Fan Liye knew that in the heart of the concubine, the eldest brother would definitely be able to become the king of Shu, and he was really redundant.

The concubine also told him a secret, the secret of his father's generation.

After telling the secret, the concubine patted his hand and told him, don't worry, with the concubine here, this kind of thing will not happen between the two of you.

The mother concubine also said a word, but you have to remember that it is not your thing, and never worry about it.

Wei Tiangang glanced at Fan Liye.

Fan Liye whispered to Princess Shu: "Mother, the eldest brother will return soon, don't worry, there is still Wei Shuai here." ”

Princess Shu calmed down a little, looked at Wei Tiangang, bowed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Wei Shuai, from Gong'er's point of view, the concubine body should also call you an uncle, and now the king has gone so suddenly, leaving behind the orphan and widow of the concubine, everything in the palace still requires you to work hard, Gong'er is still young, even if he inherits the throne, he may not be able to hold it, and ask Uncle Wei to do his best." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lu Yiping and said, "General Lu, I still want to look at the face of the first king, and treat Gong'er more." ”

Lu Yiping hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The princess is serious, Yiping should do her best to assist the new king and keep me safe in Bazhou." ”

Wei Tiangang nodded slightly and said, "The princess doesn't need to be so polite, these are all things that are within the scope of those of us who are courtiers." ”

After speaking, he looked at Fan Liye and said, "Your Highness, let's go and see the king's body first!"

Remembering what Ye Bei said, Fan Liye nodded and said, "It's okay!"

According to Fan Liye's instructions, Hou Mink Temple led people to carry the body of the King of Shu to the palace, and after cleaning and changing the clothes of the King of Shu, he and several others waited beside the bed.

It's kneeling.

Fortunately, I didn't kneel for too long, and the door to the study opened.

Hearing the movement, Hou Mink Temple hurriedly squeezed out a few more tears, rubbed his eyes, and tried to look red.

Princess Shu also followed.

Before coming, Fan Liye told her that after seeing the body of the King of Shu, she couldn't cry, so as not to let people listen to it and cause extraneous branches.

And this so-called extraneous branch, Fan Liye whispered to Princess Shu like this.

The eldest brother is still on his way back, since the thief can kill his father in the palace, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will assassinate the eldest brother, and now the eldest brother is still very safe with Vice Marshal Feng.

If the eldest brother knew that his father was driving, in case he was anxious and returned alone in advance, and was plotted by the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After listening to Fan Liye's words, Princess Shu decided to save her tears until the King of Shu was mourning.

Fan Liye glanced at the kneeling people, looked at Hou Mink Temple and asked, "Are they all here?"

Hou Mink Temple bowed his head and said: "Back to the second highness, the people who were on duty in the main hall before are all here, and the little one has already told him, if anyone dares to leak half a word, he will cut his tongue." ”

Fan Liye nodded and said to everyone: "Today's matter, there is no need to say anything in this world, you are all old people in the palace, what should be said and what should not be said are clear in your hearts." If someone asks, they say that although my father was assassinated by assassins and was not lightly injured, he was not worried about his life, remember?"

The crowd bowed their heads and said yes.

Fan Liye waved his hand and said, "Hou Mink Temple stays, you all go down!"

Seeing Ye Bei's figure, Fan Liye stretched out his hand and said, "You, Xiaobeizi, you also stay!"

When Ye Bei heard this, he knelt down in a panic again, leaned over the ground, and didn't dare to move.

Hou Mink Temple hurriedly asked, "Second Highness, but what trouble did that little Beizi cause?"

Fan Liye shook his head and said lightly: "Whether it's a blessing or a curse will be known in a while." ”

The forehead of the king of Shu has been wrapped in a white cloth by the Hou Mink Temple, and a white towel has been placed on it, and there is no trace of blood in sight.

When Princess Shu saw it, she almost really thought that King Shu was asleep.

Fan Liye glanced at Lu Yiping and said softly: "General Lu, let's bother you to do it." ”

Lu Yiping nodded, stepped forward, knelt in front of the bed of the King of Shu and whispered: "Your Majesty, in order to find out who the real murderer is, the minister has to be rude!"

After speaking, Lu Yiping sat at the head of the bed, gently lifted the head of the King of Shu, and took off the white towel.

What catches my eye is a little dark red.

Princess Shu's eyes widened.

Lu Yiping sighed lightly, and slowly removed the white cloth in circles, and the dark red became larger little by little.

At the end of the dismantling, the white cloth was a little glued together.

Lu Yiping pushed a little harder, and the last layer of black and red cloth was torn off, revealing a small hole.

Princess Shu exclaimed, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and her body softened.

Fan Liye, who stood beside her, supported his mother and said in a low voice: "Mother, you better go and sit over there, after a while, you better not look at it!"

Princess Shu nodded, and on the way here, Fan Liye had briefly narrated to her what happened in the hall.

Regarding Yuan Xi, Fan Liye didn't say much, let alone mention Lu Yiping, only said that this person has a good background, his father loves him very much, and he is ready to reuse this person, how could such an accident happen.

Lu Yiping looked at Wei Tiangang, and Wei Tiangang nodded.

Placing the palm of his right hand flat under the head of the King of Shu, Lu Yiping ran his internal strength, his palm moved slightly, and a black shadow came out from the center of the King of Shu's eyebrows, and Lu Yiping copied his left hand and held it in the palm of his hand.

was shocked by Lu Yiping like this, and the center of the King of Shu's eyebrows began to bleed outward again, but fortunately, there were not many.

Seeing this, Hou Mink Temple hurriedly got up and walked over, and said to Lu Yiping: "General Lu, leave the rest to the old slave!"

Lu Yiping, who had already seen the chess pieces clearly, sighed, stood up, walked in front of Wei Tiangang, and spread out his left hand.

It's a blood-stained sunspot.

Fan Liye walked over, only glanced at it, then turned his head and scolded Ye Bei sharply: "Okay, you little eunuch who doesn't know what to do, eat things inside and outside, what benefits did Yuan Xi give you, so that you dare to talk nonsense in front of this son regardless of life and death!"

Ye Bei trembled with fright, and said with a cry: "Your Highness Mingjian, I really saw it with my own eyes, and everything I said is true, and it is definitely not for the sake of Lord Yuan's exculpation." ”

Lu Yiping thought of a possibility, but he didn't speak.

Glancing at Lu Yiping, Wei Tiangang also frowned, and secretly thought to himself, if Ye Bei lied, this was a capital crime of losing his head, why did he say that?

It's not so easy to fool around.

He turned his head to look at Fan Liye and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, something is wrong, don't be in a hurry to punish this little father-in-law first." ”

Fan Liye said: "Wei Shuai, the sunspots are in the hands of General Lu, can this black still be said to be white?"

Wei Tiangang pondered for a moment, looked at Lu Yiping and said: "Yiping, there are no outsiders in this room, just say what you think, don't worry about anything, after all, if it is another possibility, it will be terrible, and we have to guard against it." ”

Fan Liye looked at Wei Tiangang and asked, "Wei Shuai, do you believe Xiaobeizi's words?"

Wei Tiangang nodded and said: "Your Highness, the old minister may not believe it, but he can't not believe it, if it is really Jia Nanfeng's doing, but we mistakenly think it is Yuan Xi, this is not just a misunderstanding of Yuan Xi, don't forget, Jia Nanfeng is in the palace, but he can move freely." ”

Fan Liye was puzzled: "Because of this, I can't understand that Jia Nanfeng and Ning Kai have been in the palace for so long, if they really want to assassinate their father, why wait until today? What's more, what good can assassinate their father do to him? I'm afraid that it will cause trouble to Qingyun Sect." ”

Wei Tiangang shook his head, this was also what he couldn't figure out.

Lu Yiping took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, Wei Shuai, since you two can trust me Lu Yiping, then I will tell you my opinion." ”

Fan Liye said: "General Lu, please speak." ”

Lu Yiping said: "Judging from the incident itself, it was either Yuan Xi or Jia Nanfeng who assassinated the king, and at that time, from our point of view, it was more like Yuan Xi made a move, Jia Nanfeng made a move to stop it, but he was broken by a hidden weapon, and the king died because of it." But according to what this little father-in-law said, what he saw with his own eyes was Jia Nanfeng's shot. Although according to our judgment, it is Yuan Xi who is the most likely to make a move, but it is not seen with our own eyes, and there are still many things worth scrutinizing. ”

Fan Liye thought for a while and said, "General Lu, you go on, what are the doubts in this?"

Lu Yiping continued: "The key to the problem is to shoot this cloud on the king. We all know that Yuan Xi's proposal to play against Jia Nanfeng was put forward by Jia Nanfeng, so this opportunity to shoot Wang Shang was actually proposed by Jia Nanfeng, and the jar of clouds in Yuan Xi's hand was precisely Mr. Jia's loss to Yuan Xi, Your Highness, don't you think this is too coincidental? In addition, Yuan Xi was able to bring this can of chess pieces, which was actually mentioned by the king in his letter, and it was also Jia Nanfeng's request. ”

After Ye Bei said that, Lu Yiping thought about it carefully, and felt more and more that this matter was like a bureau of Jia Nanfengbu, a bureau where Yuan Xi was the scapegoat, but Wei Tiangang and Fan Liye didn't seem to think of it, or rather, he could think about this kind of thought, but he could only think about it.

After all, Yuan Xi is his man.

Unless, Yuan Xi can be captured alive.

Thinking that it was Jia Nanfeng and Ning Kai who were chasing and killing Yuan Xi, Lu Yiping's heart was a little confused.

If the murderer is really Jia Nanfeng, Yuan Xi is only afraid that he will not escape.

After listening to what Lu Yiping said, Wei Tiangang said: "Yiping, what do you mean, there is a possibility that Yuan Xi fell into Jia Nanfeng's trap, since the last time Yuan Xi came to the palace, he began to set up this bureau, the main purpose is to make Yuan Xi his scapegoat for assassinating the king." ”

Lu Yiping nodded and said: "I think there is such a possibility, after all, with such an arrangement, he can stay out of the matter, and he can also be regarded by the palace as a hero who captures the enemy, and he will be used more." Wei Shuai, if this is the case, it is terrible, far more terrible than a Yuan Xi, think about it, if such a thing happens, if he stays in the palace again, then his next target will be His Royal Highness or Second Highness? I am not alarmist for Yuan Xi's exculpation, this Jia Nanfeng, we have to guard against it. ”

Wei Tiangang nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, this Yuan Xi has to be arrested, and he Jia Nanfeng must not be guarded against, if Yuan Xi can be captured alive, it will be the best result." ”

Fan Liye said: "I remember that Mr. Jia said in the last martial arts competition that he is stronger than Yuan Xi, plus a Ning Kai who is not weak, there are still so many guards hidden in the palace, can Yuan Xi run away?"

Speaking of this, he stood up and said, "It's been so long, so many people have been dispatched, and no one has been caught?"

Glancing at Ye Bei, he ordered: "Xiao Beizi, you go out and have a look, find Commander Gao, and ask how the situation is?"

Ye Bei, who originally thought he was dead, kowtowed to Fan Liye a few times, got up and left.

Looking at Ye Bei who walked out, Wei Tiangang groaned: "Your Highness, this little father-in-law can't be killed for the time being, even if Yuan Xi is the real murderer, we can also track down the people behind them through him." ”

Fan Liye nodded and said, "Don't worry, Wei Shuai, there will inevitably be an accident, how about you lock him up in Wei Shuai's army?"

Wei Tiangang thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Second Highness, let him be in this mansion, as usual, if he has other accomplices, we can follow the vine." ”

After speaking, Wei Tiangang looked at Lu Yiping and asked, "Yiping, do you think he can escape from Yuan Xi?"

Lu Yiping was a little distracted, and muttered, "I hope I can be captured alive!"

He was really afraid that Yuan Xi would die.

Even if Yuan Xi was the culprit, he hoped to hear Yuan Xi tell him personally.
