Chapter 229: Night Exploration of Longyuan Pavilion
Lu Yu and Lin Dao both have the same idea, these assassins are so bold that they dare to assassinate the prince on the street in the imperial capital, which is obviously not to take the guards in their eyes, let alone His Majesty.
His crimes should be punished, and the extermination of the nine clans is not enough to calm the anger of the Son of Heaven.
And when a group of guards escorted the last clothed man to Su Yang and the others, the clothed man saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't even give time for interrogation, struggled to break free, turned the blade without hesitation, and aimed the tip of the knife at his chest.
Poof.
Under the horrified gaze of the guards, he committed suicide with a knife.
"Even if they are dead, they cannot ask anything from their mouths. Su Yang shook his head slowly and said, "One of the assassins escaped, but I cut off his right arm, so I ask General Lu to investigate carefully." ”
Lu Yu was surprised, but he still gave up his hand as soon as possible: "Well, the last general will definitely ask Your Majesty to strictly investigate the entire imperial capital." ”
After Su Yang returned to the palace, Emperor Zhou and the queen mother came to the prince's mansion with their front and back feet, and there was no need to mention some condolences, especially the queen mother was even more tearful, hugging Su Yang, lest she lose the emperor again.
Emperor Long Yan of Zhou was furious, and the entire imperial capital fell into a turbulent situation.
After that, Yu Xuelan also came to visit, but she didn't say a few words to Su Yang, and left when she saw that he was fine.
Of course, Princess Bairong is indispensable, and the brother and sister before thinking about it did have a deep relationship, but it reminded Su Yang of the Lord of Lingluo, and he sighed.
......
Taishi's Mansion, somewhere in a dark room.
The middle-aged butler knelt on the ground and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, my subordinates should be damned!"
Wei Taishi looked at him and said expressionlessly: "More than a dozen dead soldiers, all of them are in the Najie realm, but you are the only one who came back alive, what is the reason?"
"The subordinates didn't expect that Yu Wenxin's strength was extraordinary, and those dead soldiers under him couldn't even stop a round, even if it was a subordinate, he lost an arm and almost died. ”
The middle-aged housekeeper looked sideways at the disappeared right hand, the essence in his eyes flashed, he hissed a few words, and said, "My lord, please give your subordinates another chance......
"I'll give you a chance, who will give me a chance!" Wei Taishi looked at him and said angrily: "The entire imperial capital is under martial law, and the Ouchi guards are patrolling everywhere, how dare I let you show up again." I gave you a chance, will Your Majesty give me a chance?"
The middle-aged housekeeper's face changed, and he was shocked: "Is it ......?"
Wei Taishi waved his hand and said, "At present, Your Majesty can't find out about me, so you don't want to go out from today on, and there is no need to mention this matter again......
The middle-aged housekeeper was stunned, then nodded: "My subordinates understand." ”
Wei Taishi closed his eyes and said, "Although we have lost so many dead soldiers, it is not useless. Yu Wenxin's cultivation, not to mention a dozen dead soldiers, even if it is only one person, it is enough for him to eat a pot, and he can actually fight back, isn't this enough to explain the problem?"
The middle-aged housekeeper said, "My lord, is there really a problem with the current prince?"
"Hmph, you are also an old Jianghu, the art of disguise is not uncommon, this Yuwenxin must be fake. ”
"That'...... What are you going to do next?" the middle-aged butler wondered.
Wei Taishi smiled indifferently and said, "Wait and see what happens, and you will plan it." ”
"The old man doesn't have to demolish him, he wants to pretend to be the prince, he should understand what the consequences will be. ”
Wei Taishi closed his eyes again and said, "Go out." ”
"Wow. The middle-aged butler bowed and slowly withdrew.
Wei Yuxin and Wei Jingcheng had just returned to the Taishi Mansion, and they saw a figure in front of them from a distance, and when they walked to them, their faces suddenly changed, and Wei Jingcheng was surprised: "Butler, what's wrong with your arm?"
The middle-aged housekeeper smiled and said, "Last night, when it was raining heavily, when I was carrying dry firewood outside the courtyard, I accidentally slipped and fell on the machete, and accidentally broke my arm. ”
Wei Yuxin looked at his empty sleeves, frowned, and said, "The housekeeper is too careless, it's good if you can't let your subordinates do these things, why is it so coincidental that you cut off your arm?"
The middle-aged housekeeper shook his head, but his demeanor was calm, and said, "Don't worry, eldest lady, you can't lose your life." ”
Wei Jingcheng looked at him, shook his head, and said, "The housekeeper should go back and rest, you must not make a mistake, otherwise grandpa will definitely be very sad......"
The middle-aged butler smiled, lowered his head and said no more.
The sister and brother looked at him helplessly and advised, "Remember to see the doctor......
......
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and tonight is very cool.
Su Yang changed into a night suit and quietly sneaked towards Longyuan Pavilion without being noticed.
According to Su Yang's understanding these days, in the court, the highest cultivation should be General Lu Yu, the cultivation of the top grade in the Tianwu Realm.
Now that he is devoting himself to investigating the assassination of the crown prince and is not in the palace, although Su Yang can't guarantee that there will be other masters in secret, he must explore Longyuan Pavilion at night, as long as he is careful, he should not be discovered.
There were quite a few guards patrolling around the Longyuan Pavilion, and the water wrapped in it was impassable.
Su Yang jumped vertically, jumped onto a palace next to Longyuan Pavilion, lay on the rubble, and looked down, looking for a gap to dive into.
The lowest cultivation of these Praetorian Guards is in the Inner Rest Realm, and the higher ones are in the Dana Realm, and there are a lot of them, unless the cultivation is too high above them, it is difficult to get close at all.
Su Yang's cultivation was not only higher than them, but his Wind Resisting Technique was even more ancient and modern, as long as he found a gap, it would be easy to sneak into Longyuan Pavilion.
Just when Su Yang was silently waiting for the opportunity and was ready to fly out at any time, he suddenly heard a faint "squeak" sound in the distance, which was especially obvious in the quiet night.
However, this is only for Su Yang, his perception is different from ordinary people, although he has always been a little unsatisfactory recently, his alertness is still far more than those of those Ouchi guards.
Su Yang was quite hesitant, seeing that the guards patrolling outside the Longyuan Pavilion were really impenetrable, he could only let the Flying Immortal Shadow Mantis stay here, waiting for the opportunity to sneak in, while Su Yang cautiously swept to the place where the voice came from, but it was a house made of large bluestone.
"How strange is this house?"
Su Yang was surprised in his heart, the faint candlelight in the room stretched out the two figures through the half-hidden wooden door, and there was a faint sound of conversation.
He couldn't help but be curious about the bluestone house, so he crouched under the window of the stone house and poked his head out to peek in.
The room was a little crowded with all sorts of strange knick-knacks, and there was a lone oil lamp on the table in the middle, and two figures were standing in front of the table talking softly.
Due to the dim lighting and the distance, Su Yang saw that the faces of the two of them were slightly blurred, but looking at the body shape and voice, he could vaguely tell that it was a middle-aged man and a young man.
The young man was also dressed in a night suit, and his face was covered, leaving only a pair of eyes, which was full of mystery.
