Chapter 243: The Danger of the Forbidden City

Everyone has the belief that they must have in their hearts, and they all have to work hard for the goal that is close at hand but far away in the sky, desperately, struggling, all just hoping that they can succeed one step closer, but some people have embarked on the right path, and some people have stepped into the bottomless abyss, infinite loop, maybe only at the moment of death will he wake up and understand whether he is right or wrong, but unfortunately by then everything is too late, and he is weak to return to the sky.

That afternoon, sitting in the hall, Wuxin looked at Ruyi, who was busy cleaning up the slightly messy dinner table, and he didn't know how to tell her in front of him that it was time to leave, to leave this place that would probably never come back.

To be honest, Wuxin really didn't want to break into Ruyi's life with everything that was going to happen next, she shouldn't have experienced all this, just because she chose someone who couldn't give her any promises. But he had no choice but to passively take her through all this, experiencing the test of blood and fire. Because he had at least promised her that he would never leave her alone again.

Nangong Chu, who was sitting on the side, seemed to see the concerns in Wuxin's heart, and also knew what Wuxin wanted to say. I saw that he slowly handed Wuxin a cup of tea, and said seriously: "I think she is ready to leave at any time, because from the day she identified you, she already knew that she would never be able to survive from now on." "It's comfort, but it's also emotional.

Wuxin turned his head to look at Nangong Chu, nodded, and was about to speak, but saw a disciple of the Phantom Sound Pavilion running over from the front yard in a panic, holding a letter in his hand, a letter specially used by the Furong Hall to transmit information.

Seeing this scene, Wuxin frowned unconsciously, knowing that something was wrong. Although everyone was much more stable after returning here, as soon as Ruyi returned to Phantom City, he had already conveyed an order downward, ordering all the eyes of the Furong Hall to pay close attention to any news about the Red Feather and Xian Wang's Mansion and the Yanmen Royal Mansion from that day on. Now, there should be a reply.

Soon, the female disciple came to the hall and handed the envelope to Ruyi, her face was solemn, it seemed that the news in the letter should be very serious, and it was bad news.

Sure enough, after reading it, Ruyi couldn't help frowning, with a shocked face. Then he walked quickly to Wuxin's front and handed the letter to Wuxin.

Wuxin didn't speak, hurriedly took the letter, opened it, and couldn't help frowning, and a trace of surprise appeared between his eyebrows.

Something did happen, and it was a major event that shocked the capital. The letter mentioned that two days ago, someone infiltrated the emperor's bedroom and wanted to assassinate the emperor, but fortunately, the Royal Forest Army found it in time, and the killer did not succeed, but the killer was strong in martial arts, although he was finally taken down by the Royal Forest Army, but he committed suicide by poisoning without waiting for interrogation.

This incident caused Long Yan to be furious, and the Son of Heaven had already sent a decree to the six doors, ordering the six doors to investigate the matter thoroughly, and it seemed to have the intention of postponing Princess Ziling's marriage.

The news undoubtedly caught everyone off guard, especially unintentionally. If the Son of Heaven really delayed Princess Ziling's marriage because of this incident, then his plans would all fall through. Although it can be regarded as a disguised resolution of the joint rebellion of the Xianwang Mansion and the Yanmen Palace, it only delayed the incident for some time, and the enemy's rebellion has been born, and no one can change it.

And there are many dreams at night, who knows if there will be any other plans between the Yanmen Mansion and the Xianwang Mansion, and there will be no way to stop it at all. Therefore, in any case, Princess Ziling's wedding cannot be postponed, and it must be held as scheduled.

Wuxin slowly closed the envelope, looked up at Ruyi with a chuckle, and did not speak. But what he was thinking in his heart, not only Ruyi in front of him guessed, but everyone present guessed it, it goes without saying.

"It's time for us to go, right?" Ruyi smiled, looked at Wuxin and said, then nodded slowly at Wuxin.

Wuxin nodded and did not speak. He didn't know how to speak, but he knew that Ruyi could understand what was going on in his heart.

Now, it's really time to go.

So, everyone slowly left the Phantom City in reluctance and headed in the direction of the capital. Left this place, which is likely to never come back.

Before leaving, Ruyi didn't stay too long, just simply settled Lin Xuan, settled the affairs of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, and then followed everyone on the road. Among all the people, it seemed that she was the only one who was most willing to leave here, and she didn't look back until the phantom city gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

It's not that she is looking forward to leaving this place where there are too many memories as soon as possible, and it's not that she is hard-hearted, she just hopes that by doing this herself, she will make Wuxin feel better and not feel guilty. But she didn't know that the more she pretended to be like this, the more she felt sorry for her unintentionally.

The chauffeur was still cold, but this time there were twelve more horses with them, and the other shadow members had already joined Wuxin, thirteen shadows, continuing to perform their due duties. It's just that now, they no longer regard it as a mission, but as a righteous follower, following the young man who made the heavens ashamed.

In the carriage, there was one more person than when he came back, Nangong Chu, but the atmosphere was becoming more and more awkward, no one spoke, and they seemed to be thinking about their own thoughts.

Wuxin didn't explain too much to Ruyi, and he didn't say anything else, because he didn't have any extra thoughts to think about anything else at this time, he was thinking about whether the incident in the capital was a coincidence or premeditated.

Now the news that the Xianwang Mansion and the Yanmen Wangfu are going to rebel, except for the fact that there is no movement in the capital, the whole world has been in an uproar, who would be stupid enough to run to the palace compound to assassinate the current Son of Heaven, and how can it be so easy to kill?

The first mastermind behind the scenes that I didn't think of was the Yanmen Wangfu and the Xianwang Mansion, but this doesn't make sense at all, if it is really just to kill the son today and sit firmly on the throne, then the Seven Sage Kings don't have to wait until today, he has hundreds of chances to succeed over the years.

But the Seven Sages and the Yanmen Kings are not stupid, and they know that if they want to sit firmly in this country, they must have one thing, that is, the abdication edict written by the son of today, so whether it is the Yanmen Mansion or the Xian Wang's Mansion, it is impossible to be the mastermind behind this assassination.

Perhaps, the killer infiltrated the palace for another purpose, not really trying to assassinate the emperor, but after being discovered, he staged a fake assassination in order to hide his true purpose, in order to confuse everyone.

Thinking of this, Wuxin couldn't help frowning, he didn't know what important things were hidden in the palace, so that the Xian Wangfu and the Yanmen Wangfu were willing to take such a big risk, everything could only be known after arriving in the capital.

Now the capital has once again become a step-by-step camp, and the city is full of patrolling soldiers and house-to-house raiders. However, after investigating all those who may have been involved in the assassination, Six Doors found nothing. The killer seems to have appeared out of thin air, without a hint of clue.

The person who has the most headache now should be the president of the Six Doors who has now been reinstated, Zhan Ying. originally thought that he could take this opportunity to reinstate the official and successfully implement the unintentional plan, but he didn't expect that after checking for a few days in a row, there was no clue, and if he couldn't do it well this time, then he would have to really take off the official uniform on his body.

At this time, it was late at night, and in the hall of the Six Doors Headquarters, under the candlelight, there was a person sitting, looking at the pile of files stacked on the table, shaking his head from time to time. This person is the president of the Six Doors, Zhan Ying, and the files in his hand and on the table in front of him are all relevant information collected by his subordinates, but it is almost a pile of waste paper, without any value at all.

The more he stared at the worthless waste paper in front of him, the more irritable Zhan Ying's mood became, only to see that he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threw out a file in his hand with a flick of his hand.

"Senior, who are you angry with?"

A faint voice sounded, and then a dark shadow slowly entered the six-door headquarters hall between the moonlight and the candlelight. The pitch-black tight-fitting cloak, the face as pale as snow, and a rusty knife were none other than Wuxin, who had rushed from Phantom City after hearing the news. Behind him, there were two people, a man and a woman, who were Ruyi and Nangong Chu.

After Zhan Ying heard this voice, he was stunned for a moment, he already knew that the person who came was Wuxin, but he didn't know when Wuxin arrived.

I saw Zhan Ying frowning, looked at Wuxin, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that there are some things that I don't have a clue about, and I'm a little bored." As he spoke, he stood up and motioned for the three of them to sit down. He didn't expect that Wuxin didn't come alone this time, and what he didn't expect was that none of the three people were discovered by his subordinates outside.

"The truth will always come out, why should the predecessors be so entangled. Wuxin looked at Zhan Ying and said with a smile.

Zhan Ying reluctantly squeezed out a smile, sat opposite Wuxin, looked at Nangong Chu and Ruyi next to him, and said slowly: "Why did Shaoxia suddenly come to the capital, and it seems that he should have traveled a long way." ”

"Came here for the assassination of the palace. Wuxin said lightly, without thinking.

Zhan Ying frowned when he heard Wuxin's answer, he had already roughly guessed when he saw Wuxin, and knew that Wuxin's coming this time must be related to the incident three days ago.

"This is also what has upset this seat in the past few days, the six doors have worked together with the Xianwang Mansion to search all the places in the capital that can be searched, but there is no trace at all, and the killer seems to have been born out of thin air, leaving no clues. Zhan Ying frowned and said helplessly, feeling a little depressed, this may be the most difficult time for him to handle the case for so many years.

"If someone is bent on covering it up, then no matter how much the six doors are checked, they won't find out, haven't the seniors understood?" Wuxin shook his head and said lightly, as if he was confident, as if he already knew who the murderer was.

"What is the young man's words, do you already know some clues?" Zhan Ying said with wide eyes and looking at Wuxin.

But Wuxin shook his head, looked at Zhan Ying, and asked rhetorically, "The predecessor may have found out the identity of the killer?"

Zhan Ying shook his head affirmatively, his eyes looked at Wuxin without blinking, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Wuxin's gourd.

Wuxin smiled, and when he heard Zhan Ying's words, he laughed, because he was now completely sure that he could prove that his guess was the truth.

I saw Wuxin looking at Zhan Ying, and said lightly: "Seniors think that a person who has no trace can hide so many pairs of eyes in the palace, and was not discovered until he found the emperor's bedroom?

"Nope. Zhan Ying said categorically, because he knew how strong the guards in the palace were, not to mention an outsider, even if he was the president of the six doors, it would be impossible to hide from everyone's eyes and lurk in the emperor's bedroom.

"So, it's already very clear, it's just that the War Commander has been unwilling to believe it. Wuxin said with a smile on his face.

Hearing Wuxin's words, Zhan Ying hesitated for a moment, suddenly widened his eyes, stared at Wuxin and said, "You mean ......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wuxin, who was sitting opposite, nodded directly, and they both understood what the other party meant......
