Volume 2: Holy Capital Volume Ye Ran Jinghua: (9) Assassin of the Upper Thunder Kingdom
"What clues did you find in the Wasteland?"
On the way, Tuoba Ran sorted out what happened to Ye Xuan, but only one thing Ye Xuan didn't understand, what did she find in Buhuangzhou?
"And thank you for that little hair. ”
"My hair is small?" Ye Xuan was very different: "You said Tian Zhuangzhuang?"
"Yes, it's that little fat man, his wind hyacinth department helped me a lot to collect a lot of incriminating evidence, his ability to collect intelligence is also first-class, and he also put a lot of effort into my investigation when I first started investigating the case. Speaking of that fat man, Tuoba Ran always couldn't help but praise her, he really helped her a lot.
At that time, he arranged nearly half of the manpower to help me investigate the whereabouts of the embezzled funds, and finally found out that a lot of silver had flowed into Yanfu Building through a fixed number of banks. ”
"I see. Ye Xuan nodded, never doubting Tian Zhuangzhuang's ability. At that time, when he was in the Tian family, he could still mix well in the harsh environment, eat all his fat, and his ability was naturally absolutely first-class.
"The state is a large grain-producing state, and that part of the silver is about one-tenth of the annual output of the state, which is enough for a super county to have a month's ration. But according to records, all of that silver was used for the purchase of Yanfu Building. What kind of restaurant can use so much silver?"
"There is no record of such a big problem in the file of Dali Temple, and there is no movement on the side of the household. After interrogating Gonggong Yang yesterday, I went to Lord Ning, and interrogated a few people who had been to Yanfu Tower and had contact with those Qian Zhuang masters of Dali Temple overnight, and investigated and punished a few people. ”
"Then the three Feng Lingwei I borrowed from my father also followed Wang Xiuyuan to Yanfu Tower, and now they are still squatting there, we just wait for the news. I have also informed the secretary of the criminal department, and as soon as there is news, I will be able to move to see how many people can be arrested. Tuoba ran yawned, but her eyes were bright, and she didn't sleep all night, but she was even more excited.
"Your Majesty lent you the Wind Spirit Guard?" Jia Lan Jing'er was stunned when she heard this, it was an absolute symbol of the emperor's exclusive power and imperial power.
"I borrowed three, and the old man agreed. Tuoba Ran didn't think there was anything wrong, when she was alone with Emperor Yunze in Garland Palace, she said that she wanted to borrow three Feng Lingwei, and Emperor Yunze readily agreed to her, and immediately assigned three people.
"He's clearly asking you to come here. Garan Jing'er read silently, and when she heard Tuoba Ran say this, she roughly understood that Emperor Yunze was planning to let Tuoba Ran personally go to fight with Wan Jia. How can a sixteen-year-old girl be caught in such a sinister political maelstrom?
"Do you have to check?" Garan Jing'er held Tuoba Ran's little hand distressedly: "The court is not a battlefield, you have no experience,"
"I waited ten years. Tuoba Ran shook his head very calmly: "Do you know Sister Jing'er, it is the first time I feel that I am living so real, it is the first time I feel that I am living so real in the past few days!"
The snow is falling, and Tuoba is dressed in red and blooming warmly, born against the cold!
The Queen's Palace, Sayun Palace.
Ye Xuan felt that he had exhausted all the breath in his life all the way, and it was already noon when the group of them came to Sayun Palace.
"Let's hurry inside, the queen is still waiting for us. The maids in the palace came to receive them, and Garan Jing'er led Tuoba Ran slowly along the cobblestone path, and many light blue flowers bloomed on both sides of the path, which were undefeated flowers, exactly the same as the one on Tuoba Ran's head.
"These undefeated flowers were moved from the Garan Palace, right?" Tuoba Ran looked at the undefeated flowers with residual snow in the stamens, his eyes were a little complicated, there should only be Lan Zeyuan in the palace.
"In the early years, your mother had a very good relationship with Empress Yun, including when your mother felt that her life was short, she once said to Emperor Yunze that if she went first one day, let Xiao Yun'er of the Xiao family replace her. Garan Jing'er explained carefully: "At that time, you were too young and you didn't know a lot of things, and when you were a little older, you only knew how to run crazy every day, and now you have to be free, I will talk to you later." ”
"Hmm. ”
Tuoba Dye didn't think much about it, and walked through the flowers.
"Hey, is the sun coming out in the west today?" As he walked, a surprised voice came from the side. Ye Xuan looked for prestige and found that the eldest prince appeared on the palace road on the other side with a group of people, and there was a person Ye Xuan was very familiar with standing in the crowd - Yue Qing.
"His Royal Highness the Great Prince. Garan Jing'er greeted and patted Tuoba Ran with a cold expression beside her: "Don't hurry up and greet me, this is your eldest brother." ”
"Who's going to take care of him!" Tuoba Ran turned her head angrily, and now the anger in her heart had not subsided. At that time, Tuoba Ran tried his best to prevent Ye Xuan from coming to power at the Qingyun Banquet, but he, a "good" eldest brother, strongly supported and specifically rebelled against her, resulting in Ye Xuan being seriously injured.
Including just out of the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm, if Tuoba Ying forcibly took her away at that time, Tuoba Ran estimated that he would never see Ye Xuan again.
"Why do you keep a straight face during the Chinese New Year?" Tuoba Ying walked over and flicked Tuoba Dye's brain melon: "Come, give my brother a smile." ”
"Go away!" Tuoba Ran glared fiercely at the man in front of him, stretching out his hand to break free, but the difference between his strength and this man was too great, so he could only stare dryly.
"Hahaha......" The eldest prince laughed childishly, making the eyes of Yueqing and the others behind him widen. In front of them, Tuoba Ying almost didn't smile.
"Why did the little wild cat suddenly want to come to the door today? Are you hungry?"
"You have to take care of it, did you big wolf dog forget to leash today? Why did you run out?"
When she was a child, Tuoba Ran liked to run around, but the only place she didn't dare to go to was Tuoba Ying's residence. Because he raised a fierce wolf dog, as soon as he saw Tuoba Ran, he chased after him, and from then on Tuoba Ran called Tuoba Ying big wolf dog.
"Lack of tidying. Tuoba Ying smiled and wanted to pinch Tuoba Ran's face, but before she could start, her face changed.
"Who!"
Ye Xuan and Tuoba Ying shouted at the same time, and the fire on Ye Xuan's left arm flashed, and the feather bow took out three arrows and wound the bow, and the divine soul power gushed out. Tuoba Ying beside him didn't carry weapons, and the majestic divine soul power also poured out and pointed directly at the dense forest.
Both of them have divine soul power, just now they both felt a feeling of being peeped at, although it was only a very faint trace but this is the palace, the safest place in the entire empire, how can it give people such a strange feeling?
"Go!"
Ye Xuan's arrow first turned into a streamer and stabbed at the dense forest, and then the Great Prince's divine soul power arrived and turned into a divine soul barrier to seal the entire forest.
A figure was wrapped in gray vitality, and instantly rushed out of the dense forest and wanted to escape in the direction of the palace wall, but he just ran two steps before he hit Tuoba Ying's divine soul barrier, and at the same time, Ye Xuan's three arrows stabbed him in the back with precision.
"Soul Shadow Technique, Soul Scattered!" The figure stretched out his palm to the three arrows that flew over, and a black opening suddenly opened in the center of the palm, protruding from the thick mist, engulfing the flying arrows, and the full force of the Flame Feather Bow did not cause him any damage.
"What!" Ye Xuan was startled, he had already drawn his bow just now.
"Hugh Run! Sky Thunder Step!" Lightning flashed under Yueqing's feet next to her, and her body rushed into the dense forest like lightning and rushed straight to the figure: "Thunder Flash!"
When Yueqing came out, she didn't bring a weapon and casually broke a branch, and the thunder and lightning in her palm surged to wrap the branch as a long sword, and her steps came quickly behind the gray shadow.
"Soul Shadow Technique, Shadow Nail!" The gray shadow looked at the rushing Yue Qing's palm, and threw out a few black nails, the speed of the nails was fast, but it didn't hit the moon blue, but hit the shallow shadow behind the moon blue.
In an instant, it seemed that there was an invisible big hand that controlled all of Yueqing's movements, so that he could no longer move, his body stiffened in place, and the thunder and lightning surged around his body, and all that could move his whole body was his eyelids.
"Soul Shadow Technique?" Tuoba Ying was secretly startled, and at the same time, Ye Xuan once again pulled his bow and arrow and flew to stab at the figure, which was the only flaming feather arrow he had left.
"Feather arrows?" the gray figure recognized this kind of arrow, it had taken some time to subdue Yueqing just now, and it was already difficult to dodge it from such a distance. The gray figure took out a small black sphere and smashed it on the ground, and suddenly a spatial crack opened on the ground and sucked the figure in.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow swept through with blazing flames, and a blow completely pierced into the hard ground, and after the figure disappeared, Yueqing also lost control, and her body returned to its original state, and the spiritual skill in her hand was ready to strike, but nothing was hit.
"Tearing the space and running?" Yue Qing ran to the place where the figure disappeared and stepped on the ground, undoubtedly tearing the space. Arrows on the ground pierced the man's clothes, leaving several fragments behind, and the black material had no clue.
"That's all. Yueqing also brought back those nails, and Tuoba Ying looked at those nails with a slightly narrowed smile and a little weird.
"Who is that person? Dare to peep into the queen's bedroom!" The personal maid who came out to receive Queen Yun was very angry, this is the imperial city, who dares to be so bold?
"Soul Shadow Technique, a secret method unique to the Upper Thunder Empire, he is a member of the Upper Thunder Empire!"
"Upper Thunder Empire!"
......
"You haven't eaten for a few days?" Ye Xuan looked at Yueqing, who was gobbling up next to him, and had nothing to say, Tuoba Ying sent him and Yueqing to sit in the outer hall to prevent danger. Ye Xuan possessed divine soul power and was extremely keen, and he and the Great Prince could detect assassins at the same time before.
Before leaving, Tuoba Ying ordered that the meal should not be missing, so there was Yueqing, who was now gobbling up, and Ye Xuan, his eating appearance, did not dare to compliment.
"One more copy of this. Yueqing placed an empty plate beside her, and the maid on the side immediately took it away and served a new plate of roast chicken.
"You've lost weight. ”
"Nonsense, it's the same as me if you spend a few days in the barracks. ”
"Then where did you get this wound on your face? Did you get into a fight with someone else?"
"No, I was injured in actual combat. Yue Qing finished taking the last bite of rice, smacked her lips with satisfaction, picked up her wine glass and touched it with Ye Xuan.
"When I arrived at the barracks, I realized that the barbarians we killed in the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm could not be compared to the regular barbarian army at all. With my current strength, I can't even beat the veterans who have retired from there, and it's like a joke to clean me up. Speaking of these, Yueqing couldn't help but rub her faintly aching shoulder, that veteran was too ruthless.
"Those barbarians who teleported in are also low-level barbarians, and those who are too strong will be rejected by the space, otherwise why will the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm collapse after a large number of barbarian armies come in. ”
"If I do go to war in the future, I don't know how long I will live. But you, the princess's close attendant, the apprentice of the national teacher, have suffered for more than ten years, and finally ended up with a good fate. Yueqing sighed, holding a toothpick in her mouth with a little envy: "I'm just the opposite of you." ”
"Are you sure?" Ye Xuan smiled.
"What, this is not satisfied?" Yue Qing glanced at Ye Xuan with disdain: "Could it be that you still want to be a prince?" Yue Qing began to speak freely, making the maids behind her stunned for a moment.
"You go down first, and then you come in. Yueqing waved her hand and dismissed the maids in the house.
"If I say, I still have ten years left to live, do you believe it?" Ye Xuan looked at Yue Qing calmly, in the eyes of ordinary people, his future was very promising, but the reality was so cruel.
"Poof......" Yueqing's wine glass suddenly spilled on her clothes, and she looked at the smiling boy in shock: "Ghost letter, what kind of bullshit are you kidding?"
"I'm not joking with you, the master asked the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion to show me in person, I can only live for another ten years. Ye Xuan looked at Yueqing quietly, and his serious appearance didn't look like he was joking.
"When the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm was about to collapse, my body underwent a mutation, and something forcibly burrowed into my body, saving my life and slowly killing me. ”
"You're the apprentice of the national teacher, so you can't get that thing out of your body?" Yue Qing scratched her head: "It's really not okay, please ask the emperor, he has a spirit bead." ”
"It's fate. Ye Xuan looked at the anxious Yueqing with a smile: "Do you believe in fate?"
"Lao Tzu doesn't believe it!" Yueqing suddenly slapped the table and glared at Ye Xuan: "Look at me, everyone thought I would die but I survived, do you know why?"
Yueqing became more and more angry: "Because I know that I will not die, I will live well!
