Chapter 27: Murder and Silence
As soon as Emperor Shenwu finished speaking, before his words were finished, he heard a few muffled bangs, as if he had exploded a few firecrackers. Everyone was startled, and when they looked at the sound, they couldn't help but be surprised again - the black-clothed people who had worked hard to tie them up had turned into pieces flying in all directions, and there was no one alive intact.
The mastermind behind it knew Emperor Shenwu's thoughts, and did something even more desperate - I don't know what method was used to blow up all those black-clothed people, and he really died cleanly, and he couldn't ask a word.
Emperor Shenwu looked at those fragments, and couldn't help but be angry: "Good dog thief, so bold!"
Wu Peng also looked at those fragments and said with emotion: "This seems to be hidden in them in advance, once the matter is revealed, they can immediately kill people and destroy their mouths." So insidious!"
Lan Tai said with a gloomy face: "How do I think someone did it on purpose? Seeing that when my father was about to interrogate the men in black, in order to prevent them from confessing themselves, he directly blew them up. What a poisonous scheming!"
Wu Peng frowned and said, "You just talk, what are you staring at me?" do you mean to doubt me?"
Lan Tai dragged out his voice and said, "I didn't say it, I just remembered a sentence in my heart - there are no three hundred taels of silver here!"
Leng Rushuang was furious, and also stared at him and said, "Young man, I look at your face and think so too!"
Emperor Shenwu listened to their quarrel, and the anger of the boss in his heart suddenly burst out: "Doesn't what I say count? Shut up and go back to the palace!"

"The Hu envoys were all wiped out?"
In this world, the fastest thing is never the wind, not people, and not the fast-running four-legged animal, but the news.
The news of the annihilation of the Hu envoy at Zhengyangmen soon spread throughout the imperial capital. When Ling Ye and Que Wan'er went out to drink tea, they heard the people next to them talking about it non-stop.
"Die well, die well! This must be a ploy arranged by the empire, so that these Fanbang devils will never come back!"
"Ahh
"That's right, killing the Hu people's envoy at the door of your own house, are you worried that people don't know that you are so arrogant? Or do you think that the Hu people don't have the ability to shake the imperial capital, so you want to show off your might and lead them to attack?"
The crowd was talking so loudly that it was hard for them not to hear it in the middle of the night.
Que Wan'er rolled her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao understood, walked outside, and walked back soon after, and said in a low voice: "The emperor saw off the Hu envoy at Zhengyang Gate, but someone ambushed there, killed the Hu envoy, and slaughtered all his guards, leaving not a single living mouth. ”
The two of them said in unison: "This is because I am afraid that the flying fox and the empire will not be able to fight, so I have used such a trick!"
Xiao Yao smiled and said, "I also heard that the emperor is going to send an envoy to the Flying Fox to hurry up and explain this matter to others!
Que Wan'er was dressed as a man at this time. She shook the folding fan lightly and said with a smile: "Although the empire has a lot of troops, it is embarrassing to use, and it can't resist the cavalry of the flying fox, so naturally it can not fight without fighting, even if it is to bend the knee and beg for mercy." ”
She shook her folding fan again and said in a low voice, "The Imperial Army's cavalry battalion always looks arrogant, but that's basically to show off its might in front of ordinary people. If you clash with the cavalry of the Flying Fox Clan on flat ground, it will only take one round, and the young master soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who are usually pampered will be immediately defeated, and they will not be able to resist at all. ”
Ling Ye said, "Why do I think you still seem to be a little gloating?"
Que Wan'er smiled and said, "The people of the empire are very eager to make contributions on the battlefield, because military merits are the most generous rewards. Isn't it a great battle to fight a big battle, especially in the imperial capital, that many people in the empire yearn for?"
Midnight: "......"
Que Wan'er smiled: "Okay, I won't tease you, let's say something serious." Once it's time to start, we're going to have to get out of here. Otherwise, the nine doors will be closed, and we will not be able to walk. ”
Ling Ye nodded and said, "Hmm!"
Que Wan'er took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "It's a pity that your Wanhu Hou and Wanjin Reward are gone!"
Ling Ye smiled: "I didn't have it in the first place, and now I naturally don't care about losing it." ”
Xiao Yao laughed in a low voice: "Gao! You are in the realm of a saint!"
Que Wan'er gave him a blank look, and said in a low voice: "Fake Taoism, fake Qinggao!"

"Where is Midnight?"
Chongying Palace, Emperor Shenwu didn't look very good, and asked Marshal Wu Peng next to him.
Wu Peng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Ling Ye...... Weichen didn't know where he was at this time. ”
Emperor Shenwu said: "Then hurry up and find it!"
Wu Peng said: "Yes! Weichen will go to find it! But ...... I'm afraid it's hard to find!"
Emperor Shenwu said displeasedly: "Marshal, I know that the person you brought to deal with the Hu envoy that day was Ling Ye. Why did you lose him so quickly?"
Wu Peng's expression did not move: "Your Majesty thinks it's him?"
Emperor Shenwu said: "Otherwise, who else could it be?"
Wu Peng said: "Okay! However, I won't tell Your Majesty that he left again after answering the question, and Weichen doesn't know where he is now, which is the truth." ”
Emperor Shenwu frowned and said, "Right now, the Flying Fox Clan is very likely not to give up, and the big war is about to break out. I desperately need brave warriors to strengthen the hearts of the army, and Ling Ye is the perfect candidate. How can you use him without you?"
Wu Peng: "......"
Emperor Shenwu said: "I have already had fingerprints, and I was quite persecuted a few days ago, and I was hiding from Lu Tianming everywhere. Now Lu Tianming's death may be related to him. Ling Ye is now missing, probably because he is worried that I will ask him about it. If you see Midnight, tell him that I don't want to blame him for an old man who is already old and confused and going to do things he shouldn't be doing. Now I just want to resist the brute soldiers of the Flying Fox Clan and defend my people!"
Wu Peng bowed down and said, "Weichen originally thanked His Majesty for his grace in the middle of the night!"
Emperor Shenwu waved his hand: "What are you bringing with you?"
Wu Peng said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Weichen also appreciates this person, and he is unwilling to lose such a brave person." This person is smart and changeable, and he is brave enough to win the three armies, and he is by no means just a pioneer who charges into battle. Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is hard to find, and Ling Ye is such a hard to find talent!"
Emperor Shenwu said: "Then go and find it!"
Wu Peng bowed down.
Emperor Shenwu looked at him, and suddenly asked, "Those people in black, what do you think is the origin?"
