These people from the royal family, under the consultation of Yingzheng and Yingshu and others, decided to form a group with each other. Wherever you go, give advance notice.

This is a strange situation, the palaces that the North Palace originally arranged for them have all moved together. The explanation of Beigong is that the royal family has a unified opinion and wants to gather more.

Everyone walks outside, with at least two people around them. If you meet with an acquaintance, you will never talk outside, but only in the room.

The gesture is to try to have as little contact with the people as possible, and to fully reflect the identity of the royal family and the people of the rivers and lakes.

Speaking of an even more strange thing, King Yingzheng of Qin is here, and her concubine Chenxi still hasn't appeared. Not only the royal family, but also many people in the rivers and lakes are also whispering, all speculating about Chenxi's thoughts.

And Ying Zheng himself is not in a hurry, in his words, if he comes, he will be safe. After all, Chenxi is the young palace master of the North Palace, and he will preside over the sword conference tomorrow, and there must be many mundane matters to deal with.

But they didn't know that Chenxi didn't do anything at all, just in the courtyard of the North Palace, drinking and talking with Xiaoya and Xiaoka, so uncomfortable. Only poor Qianling was driven to the front by them and communicated with various characters.

This was busy with Qianling, Xingling and the others, and no one could guess Chenxi's thoughts, especially the conversation with the royal family, which made the two of them feel a big headache, and many questions could not be answered.

"King Qin, it seems that the shelf of the morning light is very big, it has been a day, and when our two kings arrived, she did not receive her, which is bigger than our pomp and circumstance."

Ying Zheng smiled: "King Chu is in a hurry? Anyway, I have to live in the North Palace for more than half a month, even if there is government affairs to deal with, someone in the palace will directly hand it to Zhongnan Mountain. I'm not in a hurry, even if the Sword Discussion Conference is over, I won't leave. ”

He said angrily: "You are not in a hurry, but I am in a hurry." Whatever the outcome of those trials, I will be back home within ten days. The queen mother of my family is much stronger than the queen mothers of your family, and I am late to go back, so I don't know how much trouble it will give me. ”

Yan Dan asked, "Where did the two quarrelsome go?" ”

Ying Zheng and Ying Ji looked at each other and smiled, from yesterday to today, Zhao Jia and Zhao Qian were afraid that the other party would make a black hand, so they were always together. The two people with great personal grievances were inseparable all day long, and since they couldn't fight, they could only quarrel all day long. Even if you can't get a result, you will sneer and sneer.

He smiled and said: "They are really, with our identity, the agreed matter, it is impossible to do a black hand at this time." In order to guard against the other party's black hand, he also pulled Hou Sheng together, but it hurt us, the prime minister of Qi State, who is sandwiched between two black faces every day, how can we be in a good mood? In my estimation, they should now be at the residence of the Heavenly Sword Gate and continue their quarrel. ”

Ying Zheng also said happily: "Actually, they got one thing wrong, Li Mu is not only Su Xi's daughter, Xiao Jiu is also Li Mu's daughter." It is also strange to say that Bai Jiu is a person from the Heavenly Sword Gate, so he naturally often goes to Hou Sheng's residence, dangling in front of the two of them every day, and they have never considered the idea of marrying Xiao Jiu. ”

He said: "This young master of the Heavenly Sword Sect has a black face on them all day long, and even men can't stand it. That's fine, most of the people in Housheng's room are black-faced, and only Tian Kui is there alone to watch the jokes. ”

Saying this, Yan Dan was also happy.

The three of them were talking and laughing, when they heard Hou Sheng's complaining voice, and said, "Two kings, you can't persuade you?" I just came to watch the show, and I was sandwiched between them every day, how can I make friends? ”

Hou Sheng, Bai Xuanjiu, and Xingling walked side by side. Looking at their appearance, even Xingling had a bitter face, and the entire group of black-faced people, Ying Zheng, Ying, and Yan Dan were even more happy.

They can also see that in the current situation, as long as the sword conference is not held, Dawn will not see anyone. Then everyone's affairs can't be solved, and we can only talk about the past today.

Ying Zheng smiled: "You are all here, why don't you two see you?" ”

Hou Sheng said angrily: "Who wants to face those two people every day? They were arguing with me, and I couldn't stand it, so I had to let Tian Kui accompany me. ”

Xing Ling smiled bitterly: "The anger of those two sons is indeed not something that ordinary people can bear, I really admire Brother Tian Kui, he can still laugh in front of a pair of quarreling people all day long." Not only can you laugh, but you can also drink on the side, this kind of bearing has to be convincing. ”

Hou Shengyan said: "Don't look at Tian Kui's strength, he grew up in the Heavenly Sword Gate since he was a child, and what he did was to usher in the reception he was sent to, what kind of character he hadn't seen." As long as those two don't fight on the spot, he's like a nobody. ”

After a few days of chatting, he suddenly heard sharp footsteps outside the hall, and saw Gong Ming walking in with a group of people, and he didn't salute everyone, and suddenly said: "You have moved to the residence of Tiandaomen, and Brother Tian Kui is dead." ”

"What? Tian Kui is dead? Everyone stood up.

There was no nonsense, everyone hurried to Hou Sheng's residence, and when they came in, Chen Jiu was taking a few people from the North Palace, and Zhao Qian and Zhao Jia were asking about something.

Hou Sheng saw Tian Kui's body sitting at the table, and hurriedly went to check it, but was stopped by Gong Ming and said: "Brother Hou Sheng, please don't get excited, since Brother Tian Kui died in the North Palace, we have the responsibility to find out the cause of death." ”

He also said to Ying Zheng and others: "I have invited all the people who came in and out of here today, and the murderer should be by our side." In order to be afraid of everyone's suspicion, I also asked Miss Qiankui to check, if it was done by someone from my Beigong, we would not tolerate it, and we would definitely give you an explanation. ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and Qian Kui walked up cautiously and carefully examined Tian Kui's body.

Bai Jiujiu's tears flowed in her eyes, and over the years, many relatives had died in front of her, and she was extremely uncomfortable.

Hou Sheng painfully held Bai Jiu's shoulders and said, "Xiao Jiu, you also saw it, Uncle Shi didn't lie to you. Right in your house, our brother's brother died, the Sword Conference was over, and you couldn't stay in the North Palace no matter what. ”

Bai Jiujiu sobbed silently, and Ying Zheng, Negative Zhuang, Yan Dan and others had ugly faces. Under such a deployment, there are still dead people, Tian Kui is following the ranks of the royal family, he is the one who dies at the moment, who will die the next moment?

Negative asked: "Zhao Qian, Zhao Jia, how did Tian Kui die?" ”

Before the two could speak, Hou Sheng said angrily: "Do you still need to ask? Naturally, he is a person from the Ghost Valley. Yesterday, my nephew humiliated the Ghost Valley, and today he died, except for those people in the Ghost Valley, who else could there be? ”

He shook his head and said, "Brother Hou Sheng, don't speculate, until the cause of death is ascertained, it is possible for everyone who enters and leaves this house. ”

Ying Zheng also said: "With my understanding of Wang Heng, he is not so unwise, knowing that our royal family is in a group, he still dares to kill people at this time." ”

He said to Zhao Qianyan again: "Brother Xian, what did you see?" How did Tian Kui die? ”

Zhao Qian looked at everyone in confusion and said, "I only saw a bow shadow, and then Brother Tian Kui died. ”

Bow Shadow kills?

Everyone shook their heads, Tian Kui's body was in front of him, and there were no arrows around, how could he be shot?

Everyone didn't believe it, but Zhao Jia next to him said: "It is indeed the person killed by the bow shadow, Zhao Qian and I are not mistaken." We were arguing at the time, and Tian Kui was sitting there drinking, when suddenly a bow shadow appeared on the table, and then he died. ”

Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng and others looked at each other, is there really such a strange thing? After thinking about it carefully, everyone shook their heads again, there must be other reasons, how can the shadow of a bow and arrow kill people?

Zhongli looked at the surrounding environment, suddenly jumped on the eaves of the room, carefully checked the surroundings a few times, jumped down again, and checked the inside and out of this room, and then came to Yingzheng's side, and said: "There are no traces of stepping on the eaves, and the doors and windows around have not been opened, if there is a bow shadow on the table, then there is only one possibility, there are other Tibetans in the house." ”

Ying Zheng frowned and said, "In other words, there are other ways to enter and exit the house?" ”

Zhongli said coldly: "There must be, if you want to leave a bow shadow on the table, the only way to do it is to use the sunlight from the eaves and windows. It was impossible for the Assassin to walk in through the main entrance, and from the angle from which Tian Kui was sitting, the light from the main entrance could not shine here. And to leave a bow shadow, you must use light to create a false impression that the bow shadow kills. ”

"There is also a strange place, that is, people are shot, where do the arrows go? If we can't find the murder weapon, we can't speculate on which colleague made it. The murderous modus operandi of that colleague piqued my interest. ”

Anjou speculated: "If the murder weapon cannot be found, then there are only two possibilities, one is that the murderer is with us, and the other is that the murderer has escaped from the secret room." ”

Xing Ling asked, "Two sons, were you the only three of you who were in this room at that time?" ”

Zhao Qian and Zhao Jiaqi said, "It's just the three of us. ”

An Ru sighed: "The king was right last night, the buildings in the North Palace Hall are all movable, and it is estimated that the assassins have slipped away." In other words, the Assassin took advantage of the architectural design of the North Palace, first moved somewhere, and a man with a short bow entered, killed people in an instant, and then calmly walked away. ”

"Death is extremely short, and it can't be the people around us, because time doesn't allow it. The royal residences are all together, and it is impossible for the Assassins to kill people and calmly walk in with us. And the building of the North Palace, only the North Palace itself is familiar with, either the people of the North Palace killed it, or someone in the North Palace revealed the mechanism here and asked an outsider to assassinate it. There are now tens of thousands of people participating in the conference, and trying to find the assassin is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

"All we can do now is to deduce the origin of the assassin by examining the corpse by Chiaoi. At the same time, I would like to ask the Lord of the Imperial Court to inspect every house of the Imperial Family, so that the rooms that can be allowed in and out are too dangerous for us. ”

Zhongli continued: "This is not enough, from now on, we must have at least two of us, who will follow Childe all the time. The assassins were so sophisticated in their assassination tactics that we could not deduce what kind of assassination method they would use until the identity of the other party was not known. ”

"There is a wise saying among my peers that an assassin who sees it will have his own means of killing, and an assassin who can't see it has no weaknesses at all."
