Chapter 19: The Ghost Race (2)
Sniper Gong said in a deep voice: "Judging from the situation at the time, after the three ghosts hit Nineteen, they drifted away, presumably thinking that Nineteen would definitely die." They would never have thought that Nineteen would be able to be invincible, and I don't think they would do anything in the short term. ”
Concubine Xi shook her head and said, "Not necessarily." Since the behind-the-scenes commander can detect Nineteen's whereabouts and come up with the bargaining chips that make the three ghosts tempted, he is obviously not an ordinary person, and he will definitely be able to detect that Nineteen is safe and sound in a short period of time. In this way, Nineteen is still very dangerous. ”
The sniper was silent, although he also thought that what Concubine Xi said was not unreasonable. After a while, the sniper said to Nineteen;
"Don't leave the palace during this time, it's best to recuperate in Biyou Palace. And Uncle Shi, I will go to find the three ghosts, negotiate with them, and try to persuade them to give up the assassination of you. If they can give this face, it's fine, if they insist on acting recklessly, hehe, the old man is not a vegetarian!" Speaking of this, the sniper sneered again and again, and a ruthless look appeared on his face.
Nineteen said worriedly: "Uncle Shi, the three of them, you are always alone, I am afraid that you will suffer." Otherwise, take me with you, and bring a few master guards, you can't be left alone. ”
Sniper Gong looked at Nineteen with mocking eyes and said with a smile: "Take you, you are so young, and your kung fu is so poor, it's not enough to stuff the teeth between the three ghosts." ”
Nineteen said unconvinced: "Who said that my kung fu is poor? Last time I competed with Xiang Bei and them, I won the first place." ”
The sniper man's face was full of disdain, and he said in a contemptuous tone:
"Don't mention those squishy boys, they are pretentious, they think they are talents, but in my eyes they are all wastes. It's not your job to defeat them, and your future opponent is not them. The people of the world are either wandering in the rivers and lakes, or living in seclusion under the deep mountains and valleys, not what you can meet now, those people with abilities are your future opponents. Compared to those people, these dumb boys around you are just a swarm of ants. ”
Nineteen couldn't help but be speechless, and had the heart to refute a few words, but he really didn't have confidence in his heart. Once he, the leader, encounters a master of the level of the three ghosts, he can only flee for his life, and it seems that there is still a big gap between himself and the real master.
Sniper Gong seemed to see Nineteen's thoughts, and said in a slightly soft tone:
"You don't have to be discouraged, there are not many people in the world who have such skills at your age. And to be able to escape with the help of the three ghosts, it is even more proud. I guess the reason why you escaped must have been successful in using the Transfiguration Technique, have you already comprehended the Transfiguration Technique?"
Nineteen smiled bitterly: "I did use the shape-shifting technique in a hurry, but I don't know if I can still use it successfully." ”
Sniper said: "The first time is very important, as long as you succeed once, and then practice diligently, you can finally master this magic skill." In the past few days, you will practice the art of shape-shifting illusion in the Chu Palace, and you are not allowed to go out until I come back. ”
"Uncle Shi, are you sure you will go alone? Do you need to tell your father, take a few more people?" Nineteen pairs of snipers are still not at ease when they go to meet the three ghosts.
Sniper said: "Your father is also a scout now, and Yingdu is probably under martial law in the whole city now." Don't worry about me, I can't beat it, won't I run?"
At this time, I overheard Ziyan reporting outside:
"Madame Qiqi, Lord Sigong and the medical officer have come to visit the Nineteenth Prince. ”
The sniper got up and said with a smile: "Your father really cares about you, I'll go first, remember, you are not allowed to leave the palace" After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared.
Concubine Xi rubbed her eyes and said to Nineteen, "Did your senior uncle go out from the main gate or through the window?"
Nineteen smiled and said: "This is the art of shapeshifting, Uncle Shi is already ten miles away now!"
Concubine Xi stared at her round apricot eyes in surprise, and her original contempt for the sniper disappeared at once.
Si Gong was an old eunuch, and under the leadership of Ziyan, he led the medical officer and cautiously walked into the reception room of Biyou Palace. After seeing Concubine Xi and Nineteen, he hurriedly saluted respectfully, and then said in a sharp voice:
"Madame Qiyu and Your Highness, the servants have come to visit the Nineteenth Prince on the orders of the Great King. ”
The medical officer took a step forward and said to Nineteen:
"Please ask the nineteenth prince to be wide-dressed, and the lower officer will examine the prince's wounds. ”
Nineteen said: "Without bothering the two adults, my wounds have healed!"
When the medical officer heard this, his face was full of suspicion, thinking that Nineteen was joking, and said cautiously with a smiling face:
"The nineteenth prince's physical fitness is really good, but the penetrating injury is not trivial, it doesn't take half a year to recuperate, so let the lower officials check it carefully!"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Nineteen waved his injured right arm and said with a smile, "It's really good!" Then, taking off his upper clothes, he showed the healed wound to the two.
The eunuch and the medical officer of the palace were all taken aback, and the two of them looked at each other with incredible looks on their faces. The medical officer hesitated for a moment, and said to Nineteen:
"The nineteenth prince is really a god, but the lower officials still have to examine it. ”
Nineteen said impatiently as he put on his clothes:
"You don't need to check it, the wounds are all healed, what else do you need to check?" asked Si Gong again: "Did my father arrange you to come here?"
The eunuch of the palace replied respectfully: "It is the arrangement of the king, if the king knows that the nineteenth prince has recovered as before, he will definitely be overjoyed!"
Nineteen nodded and said, "Then please ask the two adults to report to my father, and say that I have recovered and there is no need to worry about me anymore." The palace and the medical officer promised again and again, bowed down and withdrew from the Biyou Palace, and returned to Zhanghuatai with a shocked look on his face.
At this time, in the bedroom of the king of Chu, the prince of Sanlu was kneeling under the hall, looking at the king of Chu who was reclining on the soft collapse with anxiety.
Chu Wangshang is even older, and he has not been in the hall for a long time. Still, the ferocious aura he exudes now has a power that makes people tremble. King Shang of Chu asked majestically:
"Doctor Sanlu, why did the murderer of the prince run away this time? Didn't you have an ambush and preparation? Why did you miss?"
Gongzilan's face was pale, and she kowtowed again and again, and replied:
"Please forgive the king, Weichen did lay an ambush. It's just that the restaurant is not the focus of defense, but the road that the ninth prince and the nineteenth prince pass to return to the palace is the focus of defense. Wei Chen never thought that the murderer would commit a murder in the downtown of the restaurant, if it wasn't for Lord Zhaohu arriving in time, and if it wasn't for the nineteenth prince to stop it first, the consequences would be unimaginable. This is all a crime that Wei Chen has not thought through, please surrender to the king!"
King Chu's gloomy gaze softened slightly, and he sighed and said:
"You are at fault, but fortunately the princes are safe and sound, and the widow will not blame you. However, this time you used a few princes as bait to try to lure in the murderer, although the method is good, but it is too risky. With your cautious character, it seems that you will not make such a decision, who gave you your attention?"
Gongzilan wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and kowtowed again: "King Mingjian, the strategy was indeed thought up by Weichen, and Weichen didn't dare to overwhelm others." I thought that the plan was very thoughtful and could guarantee that nothing would go wrong. Wechen really didn't expect such a dangerous situation, Wechen is still too young and inexperienced. First, I didn't expect the traitor to dare to commit murder in a restaurant in broad daylight; second, I didn't expect the traitor to be so cunning that he would disguise himself as a street performer, so that everyone could take it lightly; third, I didn't expect that the traitor would have such a high level of kung fu, and he was so strong that Lord Zhaohu was helpless. ”
Chu Wangshang was silent, staring at Gongzilan sharply, and then asked word by word:
"Gongzilan, you have to be honest, who has this strategy been discussed with?"
Gongzilan's face became more and more pale, and she said in a trembling voice:
Lord Ling Yin once inquired about this matter and reminded Weichen that the murderer would still look for an opportunity to attack the Nineteenth Prince, and not only the Nineteenth Prince, but also the Ninth Prince. It was only after listening to Lord Ling Yin's prompt that Wei Chen thought of this plan. And this time, the ninth prince and the nineteenth prince went out of the palace together, the opportunity is too good. Wechen was anxious to solve the case, so he made this decision, so that the princes were in danger, Wechen really deserved to die!"
The king of Chu raised his head and pondered, and there was enough time for tea before he said slowly:
"Zhaoyang? If Zhaoyang's idea was not malicious, Zhaoyang would not have murdered the Ninth Prince. However, if someone else comes up with an idea, it needs to be seriously considered. Because, the strategy itself is also a clever strategy. If it weren't for the Ninth Prince and the Nineteenth Prince's great fortune, maybe your bait would have been swallowed by the murderer!"
After hearing this, Gongzilan didn't dare to come out, and her heart was full of a sense of failure. While deeply impressed by Chu Wangshang's amazing cave friction power, he also felt ashamed of his recklessness and naivety.
Chu Wangshang ignored Gongzi Lan's self-blame and continued to ask;
"The princes went out of the palace to drink, who did you reveal this news to?"
Gongzilan replied respectfully:
"Revealed to Xiong Zhang, Jing's, and Dou's three families. ”
"Which of these three families do you think is the most suspicious?" asked King Chu.
Gongzilan replied with a face full of shame:
Zilan was ashamed, because the murderer was not caught, Weichen did not dare to assert it easily. ”
Chu Wangshang fell into deep thought again.
