Chapter 458: Behind the Scenes
Wan Peng's wrist flipped, the sword light flashed, and the Yuyuan sword was surrounded by a faint sword qi, swinging directly towards the sword that stabbed out of the space. Due to the distance from Prince Lan Jia was too close, Wan Peng did not dare to use only the sword qi to attack, if Prince Lan Jia made a slight move, the sword qi touched his body a little, I am afraid that it would become a serious injury.
Therefore, in this case, the speed at which he draws his sword will naturally be slower.
The sword that stabbed out of the space had already stabbed Lan Jia, but before the skin was broken, it had already swung the Yuyuan sword, and the sword body was directly cut off from it. And the open space gap was also immediately closed at this time.
The sudden change made everyone else stunned. Wan Peng took the Yuyuan Sword at this time and took a deep breath, "All our mysteries have basically been solved. Why would those people die so quickly, and at the same time there were no major fluctuations in spiritual power. Because the person who assassinated them was not in the same space as them at all, as it had just been. ”
"But......" Shu San asked a question very sensitively, "If this is an assassination carried out by spatial transformation, how can you accurately feel this spatial transformation? From this point alone, how can you be sure that the matter has nothing to do with you?"
Wan Peng didn't seem to take this question to heart, and said calmly, "It's very simple, because the spatial transformation carried out by your Purple Mansion depends on crystals. The Yuyuan Sword, which absorbs the essence of the crystal mine, will form a natural reaction with the spatial interaction generated by the crystal. Therefore, as soon as the spatial change appeared, the Yuyuan Sword came out of the ring. This also gives us a possibility to protect Prince Lanjia. ”
Although Shu San was still extremely serious on his face, he was relieved in his tone, "It seems that this is really providence." Prince Lanjia's safety has been settled. ”
After hearing this, Wan Peng shook his head, "No, you can't say that yet." As long as the culprit is not eliminated for a day, Prince Lanjia's safety will be uncertain. And the people who can use this kind of spatial change, in the Purple Mansion, should not be a majority. Moreover, he should be able to know the whereabouts of the princes, especially the place where the king is ill. ”
Shu San nodded slightly, "That's right." Such people, even if they are counted together, will not exceed ten. As a result, the range of people we focus on is much smaller. ”
"This is your job, and I can't ask too much here, and I won't get involved. But I would like to remind you that the search and interrogation of these people may lead to a situation in which the whole body is disturbed. Moreover, no matter who is in charge of this matter, they must pay attention to their own personal safety, and they are expected to carry out similar attacks. Wan Peng looked at Shu San and said very earnestly.
Shu San nodded, "In this way, Prince Lanjia's safety is still entrusted to you." Probably here, none of us are capable enough to protect him. At least for now. ”
Wan Peng looked at Lan Jia, "This is not a problem. I'll put him in a place of absolute safety, and he won't show up for a day if things don't settle here. ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Shu San's eyes, "Absolutely safe place?"
Wan Peng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can ensure Prince Lanjia's safety." As for the details, I won't elaborate. ”
Shu San looked at Lan Jia, "Third Prince, since that's the case, then I won't say more." The stakes were so high that I immediately reported it to the Council of Elders and began to investigate. I hope the third prince takes care!"
Lan Jia showed the grandeur of an adult at this time, "Uncle and uncle, although rest assured, the overall safety of the Purple Mansion is the first priority, even if I have any difficulties, don't stop the process of tracking down the real murderer!"
After a few more words, Shu San left directly. Wan Peng looked at Lan Jia, "I'll send you to another space." Someone there will pick you up, and when things settle down, I'll let you out. After that, he contacted the Fire Thunderbird King, opened the Fire Thunder Space, personally sent Lan Jia in, and explained in detail to Cheng Mo, Ning Shuang, Dai Shen and others before exiting the Fire Thunder Space.
Xie Ting had obviously been thinking about the problem, and when she saw Wan Peng coming out, she asked directly, "I think you probably have some doubts about what someone did." But why didn't you just say that?"
Wan Peng shook his head and said, "Who did it, I'm not sure." I'm actually just suspicious of the Space Authority's people. Because only the people of the Space Administration can master or develop this kind of off-the-shelf method of using space to do evil. But you must know that the Space Administration is of great importance to the Purple Mansion, and if we leak this statement, after a check, it has nothing to do with the Space Administration, and the impact on the Purple Mansion is not something we can afford. Besides, if we do something like that, the trust that we have built up with great difficulty will inevitably decline, and when we find the king, I am afraid that there will be twists and turns in Jinxiao. ”
Xie Ting nodded, "Well, what you said also makes sense." But in this way, I am afraid that some people in the Purple Mansion will be in danger again because of the investigation of this matter. ”
Wan Peng sighed, "Even if this matter is not investigated, these people who are close to the princes will be punished sooner or later." Perhaps, someone will sacrifice to help the truth come out faster. Of course, I will also do my best to minimize the casualties in this regard. ”
Xie Ting hummed and didn't say anything else. Wan Peng looked out the window, his eyes became more and more worried, and his gaze slowly diverged into the distance.
............................................................................................................
"Can't find it?how is it possible?" In the secret room, a person turned his back to his subordinates, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction and anger. "The last time you appeared, wasn't it obviously in the security room of the Presbyterian Church? How can you say that if you can't find it, you can't find it? What are you all doing to eat, a bunch of garbage!"
The subordinates didn't have the slightest fear when they heard this person speak like this, but between the words, the relationship between the superiors and subordinates was still very obvious. "We have searched by various means, but the trace of Prince Lanjia is indeed impossible to find. That's right, it's right to say we're waste, because we're inadequate. However, you also know that we are waste, and there is nothing in the entire Purple Mansion that is not garbage. ”
"Hmph! Keep looking for me, find me! As long as you find it, kill it immediately!"
"Yes!" the subordinate saluted and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, the man with his back to him suddenly raised his hand and stopped him, "Wait." Did Lan Jia last stay with Shu San and that kid named Wanpeng when she was in the security room?"
The subordinate turned around again, "That's right. Now, Shu San is already busy investigating the whole thing with the Elders, and the targets they have locked on are those who use space and those who can grasp their whereabouts. However, from the information available so far, they have had little success. And that Wan Peng, who seems to have been relatively calm these days, did not participate in the investigation of Shu San. ”
"That kid is not simple. Earlier I said to investigate his origins, do you have any new progress?"
"Something deeper, not found. However, he was able to detect our use of space in time, and the failure of the last assassination attempt was also directly related to him. ”
"Well, he can have a special sense of space, but it is not ruled out that he hid Lan Jia. If that is the case...... "the man paused for a moment, as if he was determined," and sent for him to be killed. This person should not stay long. Of course, before he dies, find out the whereabouts of Lanja. ”
...............................................................................................................
It has been three days since Wan Peng sent Lan Jia into the fire and thunder space. During the past three days, Zifu seemed to be surprisingly calm, but he knew that this was a precursor to a great storm. The investigation organized by Shu San and the Council of Elders, after locking up the characters, has interrogated two people with suspicious signs, but it is conceivable that they have had little effect, and there is no valuable information at all.
And during this period, there was also a small-scale attack by the Ape Clan, which was easily repelled by the defense forces of the Purple Mansion. Wan Peng also suddenly doubted at this time whether it was possible that the Ape Clan was secretly assassinating. But then, he ruled out the possibility. This is because if the apes want to assassinate, they will not use a sword, but will use the more familiar claws.
It was getting late, Wan Peng paced a few steps in the room, and was about to go to Xie Ting's room to discuss some daily matters, but he felt a slight vibration in the ring.
It's the Yuyuan Sword.
The Yuyuan Sword emitted this vibration, apparently reacting to the changes in space. This situation, which had not appeared since Lan Jia's assassination last time, suddenly appeared, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.
At this time, he also thought about whether Xie Ting would be in a similar situation. Xie Ting didn't have any sense of the signs of spatial change, and once she encountered danger, she might be in danger.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and then broke out of the door as fast as he could, and shouted, "Xie Ting! Come out immediately, there may be danger!"
Xie Ting has always maintained a very high state of vigilance, and now when she heard Wan Peng shouting like this, she also directly put down the pill she was refining in her hand, jumped up, and appeared in the courtyard. The Dan furnace behind her, at the moment she left, emitted a puff of black smoke, and the pill inside had been wasted.
Before Xie Ting landed, Wan Peng contacted the Fire Thunderbird King and directly opened the Fire Thunder Space, and Xie Ting fell into the opening accurately. After that, the fire and thunder space was closed, and the whole time was so short that Xie Ting seemed to disappear in the air.
All this was completely watched by a person who was observing from a distance.
At this moment, on Wan Peng's side, three spatial gaps opened at the same time, and like poisonous snakes, three blue swords stabbed out.
The Yuyuan Sword also flew out of the ring at this time, and was grabbed by Wan Peng in his hand, and swept towards the three swords with precision.
