Chapter 455: The King Summons

Wan Peng was about to admire, but who knew his next sentence completely subverted Wan Peng's opinion. It turns out that he is not extremely mature, but just a childlike mentality. What he said was, "I'm going to move to Wan Peng's room, let him protect me, and then you go and catch the murderer as soon as possible......"

All of a sudden, there were three people present, and two people had a collective black line on their heads. However, what he proposed is not necessarily not a solution. Wan Peng got off the donkey and said, "That's a good idea, too." Judging from these two cases, the perpetrators should be your insiders. At the time of Prince Matsura's death, Takeyou and I suspected that it was a demon, that is, the Sixteen Elders. But now that Prince Takeyou is also dead, it is indeed confusing. ”

Lan Jia said, "If I really find out who killed the two elder brothers, I will definitely not spare him." ”

Wan Peng didn't say anything. At this time, Liyang said in his inner world, "Who knows if you killed it." People are small and big, and anything is possible. The more impossible it seems, the more likely it is. If you kill two brothers, I'm afraid that this throne will be yours. As soon as the old king died, the new king ascended the throne. In this case, of course, you will not leave the Purple Mansion. Otherwise, once the space gyroscope is broken, it will be a few years to come back. ”

Wan Peng actually thought of this earlier. These things all appeared after Lan Jia came back, and I have to say that the coincidence of timing makes people feel confused. "I've thought about that, but, after all, he's a kid and hasn't been out of sight since he came back. Except, of course, at the time of the Presbyterian Church. Matsura died at that time. And during the time of Takeyou's death, he was with us. Unless, here is his best friend, as soon as he comes back, the old friend starts the plan on his own. But even then, the plan was too fast. If a twelve or thirteen-year-old child continues to be on the throne, he is still unfamiliar with governing the country like that. Yes...... Is it ......?"

Wan Peng thought of another possibility, and couldn't help but feel nervous at this time.

It was at this moment that Lan Jia continued to speak, and what she said also pulled Wan Peng back from the conversation with Liyang. Lan Jia said at this time, "Did my father arrange for us to meet him?"

Shu San nodded, "Because the situation is tense now, the king asked you to meet him in advance, of course, including Wan Peng and his friends, it is said that this is what Zhuyou asked the king for." Before I came, the king made a special confession that it would be better for you to go to see him quietly, preferably without anyone knowing. ”

Lan Jia responded, "Okay. If so, why don't you arrange it, and we'll go tonight. ”

Shu San frowned slightly, "This...... I'm here today, and many people must know about it, and maybe I've been targeted. If you set out at night, you will inevitably be suspicious. Why don't you change it to tomorrow?"

"Just leave the matter of hiding your whereabouts to me. Wan Peng then took over the conversation, "Please ask Governor Shu to arrange three solid guards among the next wave of changing guards, and tell them to come to our house for a visit, and then change the guard." After the next wave of changing the guard, please summon these three people in the guard camp where the change of guard has returned. ”

Shu San somewhat didn't understand what Wan Peng meant, "What are you going to do?

Wan Peng shook his head, "No, it's useful." You'll know when the time comes. After that, he looked at Lan Jia, and it was obvious that Lan Jia somewhat understood Wan Peng's thoughts. Wan Peng's disguise technique, he has already learned.

Uncle San also turned to Lan Jia for advice, and seeing that Lan Jia agreed, he stopped talking and agreed to do it according to this plan. After that, he carefully observed the movement outside and left the courtyard of the state guesthouse.

Being summoned by the king, Wan Peng was naturally very excited. Seeing the king and going to Jinxiao is equivalent to half the success. However, now that the situation here is so complicated, it is unknown whether the king will help them, or whether he will make any conditions.

According to Wan Peng's plan, in the next wave of changing the guard, the three elite henchmen arrived as scheduled, before the change of guard, the three of them entered the courtyard, and under Wan Peng's design, they changed their clothes with themselves, Lan Jia and Xie Ting respectively, and used the disguise array to exchange their appearances. Relatively speaking, only Lan Jia was more troublesome, his height was not enough, and there was still a gap of about a foot between him and the shortest one, Wan Peng had to use the auxiliary formation talisman to form a volley under his feet, allowing him to float in the air to appear that his height was basically the same.

As for Xie Ting, who was pretending, Wan Peng gave him a simple breast enhancement treatment, and the effect of men dressing up as women was quite good.

After changing makeup, Wan Peng and the other three went out to change the guard first, and deliberately put Lanjia in a position that does not often move. The fake Wan Peng and the other three walked out of the courtyard according to Wan Peng's instructions, left the state guesthouse, and went to the position of the nearest space gyro.

An hour later, the next wave of changing of the guard arrived. Wan Peng Xie Ting and Lan Jia successfully left their posts, and returned to the guard camp together with the others. Not long after entering the camp, he received a summons from the third governor.

When Wan Peng revealed his identity, the third governor of Shu was extremely surprised, especially when he saw that under the long hakama, there were two feet floating in the air, and he felt that the method was extremely ingenious. After some admiration, he immediately began to make arrangements to go to the king through the secret passage.

In the Purple Mansion, secret passages are extremely common, especially in some important military and political places, there are secret passages leading to other places. Of course, the use of this method has made the tunnel layout an industry, and it has also made the tunnel a way to form a party for personal gain.

The secret passage from the office of the third uncle to the king's location was very long, but after walking more than halfway, with some stone wall carvings on the road, Lan Jia could still see the basic location. He asked Shu San to confirm whether the king was now recuperating in the Jing Pavilion, and Shu San admitted it.

Coming out of the secret passage, you enter a large library of books, which contains all kinds of paper and wooden books and jade tablets, which are no less than 10,000 volumes. After passing through these shelves, there are three doors, and after choosing one of them, you enter a room, which also has a dozen doors. After selecting one of the more doors, use a special method to open it, and enter another secret passage. At the end of the secret passage is the place where the king recuperates from his wounds.

It was a small room, four or five feet long and wide, with a series of screens in the middle. At the entrance to the secret passage, inside the secret passage, and inside and outside the screen, there are soldiers guarding them.

The screen has two layers to form a simple partition channel, which ensures that people outside will not easily disturb those inside.

Lan Jia was obviously a little anxious when she arrived here, and she took three steps and two steps, as if she was walking inside, and exclaimed, "Father, Father!"

However, there is no sound here except for the footsteps of several people. Lan Jia's call was not answered, and the whole environment also made Wan Peng vaguely feel that something was not right. Everything seems to be weird.

Could it be that something happened?

Lan Jia and Shu San were obviously aware of this, and their steps forward were faster.

When everyone went around the screen, they were all stunned. There was a bed behind the screen, and the bedding on the bed was gorgeous, but there was no one at all!

Uncle San was shocked, and shouted twice, "Wang, Wang?" Lan Jia also shouted a few times, "Father?" Then Shu San opened the two doors behind the bed one by one, a bathroom and a place to eat, but they were also empty.

The king is gone!

Shu Lan walked up to the nearest guard and said sharply, "Where has the king gone?"

But the guard didn't answer, but with the touch of Shu San's hand, he slowly leaned to the side, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Wan Peng's foreboding in his heart was even stronger, and his spiritual sense spread out, only to realize that these people had already died! Except for a few of them, there were no living creatures here.

There was no sign of a fight, and there was no sign of an exodus. The deaths of these guards were actually caused by the use of spiritual power to instantly seal the acupuncture points and meridians, and they were killed in an instant. This kind of technique, if it is said that it is possible to use it on one person, but what level and speed does it take to make the entire house inside and outside, a full eight guards, eight top guards all killed?

Thinking of this, a chill ran in Wan Peng's heart. It occurred to him that the two princes had been killed one after another, and that this time the king's whereabouts were unknown, and it must have been done by the same group.

Thinking of the previous protection of Lanjia, Wan Peng suddenly felt so vulnerable. At the level of killing eight top guards like this, as long as he leaves Lan Jia for a moment, or even if he turns around, he may only see Lan Jia's corpse when he turns back.

Of course, in such a situation, Lan Jia's own suspicion seems to be serious again.

Shu San was completely out of control, shouting for the guards, pushing them down one by one. However, this is a secret passage, and no one will know about it when there is no guard to change the guard. Lan Jia seemed to be stupid by this scene, standing in place in a daze, and kept muttering to her father.

Wan Peng took a deep breath and walked over to the king's bed, taking a closer look. The bed was neatly made, and when I touched it with my hand, it was still warm, and it was clear that the king had not been gone for long. At the same time, he also noticed a detail, on the edge of the bed, there were no medicine bowls, medicines, or treatment utensils.

Obviously, this is somewhat inconsistent with the statement that the king is seriously ill.

He suddenly realized that perhaps he had been preconceived by the idea that the king was seriously ill. What if the king himself was not sick? He hid and spread the news that he was seriously ill, but what was he trying to plan? If so, was it not, and possibly, that the guards were killed by the king himself, and then the king himself left?

This is not necessarily a possibility. Wan Peng left from the side of the bed and walked to the position between Lan Jia and Shu Lan, "You two are quiet. What's going on here, we should figure it out first. There are a few questions that I hope you will tell me truthfully. ”
