After a long time, until he was impatient, Tuoba Lie finally spoke: "The murderer should not be among them. It's a simple sentence, but it requires accurate judgment and the courage to take responsibility. The truth lurks beneath the layers of fog, and no one knows what happened last night, so it is a huge risk to come to such a conclusion.

Tuoba Lie's status in Liu Yi's heart has improved a little, and Liu Yi feels that His Majesty's decision to let this person restrain the Ten Princes is indeed right.

"General Dongfang and General Liu's martial arts are higher than this king, after the torture just now, they should have been confirmed, none of these people are powerful, they are just ordinary minions, not enough to cause such serious damage to the seventeenth brother, the murderer must not be among them, go to prison first, keep alive and wait until later, what do you think." ”

"Your Highness is wise, and His Highness's thoughts coincide with those of the miscellaneous family. Liu Yi, who is the best at shooting people and horses, was naturally the first to echo.

"What does General Changqing think. ”

"Your Highness said what the lower officials wanted to say, and they were first imprisoned, heavily guarded, and tried at any time. ”

"Yes, heavy guards are under heavy guard, and they can be heard at any time. Tuoba Lie waved his hand, "Escort them into the execution chamber." ”

......

A group of suspects were escorted out, and the courtyard was empty with only three decision-makers left, Tuoba Lie frowned, his elbows were on his knees, and his front body was bent, and he lowered his body, and the other two people both put their heads together in the same posture, and conspired: "General Dongfang, General Liu, what do you think about this matter?"

Dongfang Changqing frowned and didn't say a word.

Liu Yi asked in a shrill voice, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"This king feels that things are not so simple. Tuoba Lie raised his head and looked around to make sure that there was no one around, and lowered his head to lower his voice even more, "This is not only the prince's bedroom, but also the Yongning Palace, the place where Concubine Rong sleeps, my father and the emperor often come here to spend the night, how can a palace maid be bold enough to make such a mistake, impossible."

What's more, in addition to the guards of the Praetorian Guard and the Internal Affairs Office, the palace is guarded by three masters of the Buddha Arhat Hall day and night, it is really unimaginable that the assassin can avoid the eyes and ears of so many top masters to enter the palace to kill people and then leave safely. ”

"Then His Highness means!" Liu Yi nodded, Tuoba Lie expressed the doubts in his heart, and Dongfang Changqing was still silent.

"This king thinks that the murderer should be the closest person to Concubine Rong or Concubine Rong......"

"Your Highness. Dongfang Changqing suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Tuoba Lie from continuing: "Your Highness, this matter is very important, and you need to be cautious when drawing conclusions. ”

"General Dongfang doesn't need to say much, this king knows your mind, this case is handled by this king with full authority, and the general will never stop him if he wants to leave this king. ”

After listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Yi suddenly woke up, and the scenes were projected in his mind like a comic book, and finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, you won't be suspicious......

"Shhh, it's just a guess, and there's no real evidence. ”

Dongfang Changqing had a gloomy face: "Your Highness, it is your duty to find the murderer Changqing, but who the murderer is needs evidence to prove, Changqing does not dare to speculate indiscriminately, nor does he dare to speculate for no reason, please forgive your Highness." His attitude made Tuoba Lie understand that this person was not on the same front as himself.

"Your Highness, the old slave also thinks it's too unbelievable, maybe we just think too much, the murderer sneaked in from outside the palace to kill His Highness and then left calmly, it was caused by our negligence of the guards. ”

"Do you really think so?"

"The minions didn't dare to think otherwise. "I don't dare to think otherwise. ”

"In this case, this case is taken over by the king with full authority, and the two of them are busy with official business on weekdays, so they can take a break. ”

......

Having seen the power of the Faceless Killer Group, Tuoba Lie believes that the person who killed the Seventeenth Brother is likely to be the person closest to him, the person closest to him, and the most unexpected person. However, that person has a noble status and a special identity, Dongfang Changqing and Liu Yi must not dare to offend, so only they can find out the murderer.

Tuoba Lie deeply felt that the two of them were not all the way with him, he knew that he needed to seek support and only find Shen Fei, so he told the other party the matter as it was that night, the latter was silent for a moment, and said: "It is very likely that the person who killed His Highness is an internal ghost, and it excludes the possibility of the palace maids and eunuchs committing crimes, so it is true that only Concubine Rong is the most suspicious." But Concubine Rong Niangniang was introduced to His Majesty by His Royal Highness, your mother-in-law, Tuoba Phoenix, and now she has just given birth to the dragon species, even if the murderer really makes her, once she is arrested, it will inevitably implicate too wide of criticism and dissatisfaction from the government and the opposition, so that Your Highness will bear the charge of fake public welfare and selfishness, causing an unfavorable situation.

According to Shen, the most important thing His Royal Highness should do now is to put aside the line that Niangniang is the murderer for the time being, do his best to investigate other clues, find the key points that have been missed, find out possible negligence, and examine it so carefully, if there is no breakthrough, then consider the matter on Niangniang's side.

In addition, Your Highness, you are upright by nature, which Shen admires, but in this matter, Shen feels that there is something wrong with your approach. First, the arduous task that the three people shared should not have taken it all over by yourself because of a momentary whim, if you find the murderer to receive the merit, the other two may not be happy; if you have received it, the responsibility is all on Your Highness, and no one can share it, which is not good for Your Highness; Second, the things in the palace can not be judged and understood with simple thinking, has Your Highness ever thought that someone has deliberately targeted Concubine Rong, causing Your Highness to be suspicious of Concubine Rong, causing Your Highness to start a war with Concubine Rong, this possibility cannot be ruled out。

Shen believes that at that time, it should be searched according to General Dongfang's ideas, let General Dongfang and Liu Yi take the lead, Your Highness, you can listen to the side, so that not only will not offend people, but the prisoner is also easy to lock, if you can't find the suspect, just catch one and make up the number, now the target is locked in the palace, which will inevitably cause suspicion and jealousy from all forces, and you are actually extremely unfavorable to Your Highness, who has just returned to the dynasty and has not yet gained a firm foothold. The cold moonlight shone in through the window, reflecting Shen Fei's silhouette like a god, Tuoba Lie listened to it stupidly, after Shen Fei's analysis, he knew that he had made many mistakes in a row in one day, and then he remembered that he might be smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and was led by the nose by other people's suspicions, if it was really the suspicions, then it must be the tenth brother's doing, because only he knows his character best.

"Before the murderer is determined, don't jump to conclusions, because every word His Highness says may be related to the lives of others, which will cause a strong backlash. ”

"Listening to your words, it is better to read a book for ten years, if it is not for the reminder of Daozun, this king will definitely fall deeper and deeper into a situation from which he will never recover. Tuoba Lie sighed with emotion.

"Your Royal Highness, true temperament is your greatest advantage, but also your biggest disadvantage, walking in the court, you must be able to distinguish between friend and foe, it is right to show true temperament to oneself, and it is wrong to show true temperament to outsiders, do you understand what I mean. ”

"The king understands. ”

"Then it's best, put this matter aside for the time being, Shen also has something to tell His Highness about you. ”

"Please speak up. ”

"Monk Jingling declared war on Shen today, and in three days, I will debate the Dharma with the Buddhist monks on the Dharma propagation altar. ”

"So fast, arguing at the Dharma propagation altar, what good is this for him!"

"I have never guessed the mind of the pure spirit monk, but he is now the presiding officer of the Lingyin Temple, and his identity is not the same, and the order he gave is not questioned by no one in the temple, and the dialectic after three days is imperative. ”

"Does Dao Venerable have a chance of winning?"

"It's just that everyone has their own opinions, and they can't talk about victory or defeat, but in this way, I have to concentrate on rectifying my mentality in the past two days to deal with this battle, and I may not be able to help His Highness. ”

"With Daozun's guidance just now, this king has suddenly become enlightened, and the rest will be handed over to this king, and you can't bother Daozun in everything. ”

"Your Highness, where are your words. ”

"It's just that this king really can't understand that whether the debate on the Dharma propagation altar is victorious or defeated, it will invisibly increase the statement of the Taoist sect, why did the Pure Spirit Monk do this. ”

"I'm afraid that person just wants to connive at me to keep getting bigger, so that the Dao Sect will form a real threat to the Buddha Sect......"

Then the king didn't understand why he, as the head of the Buddhist sect, would do something unfavorable to the sect. ”

"For a bigger goal!"

"What?"

"Start the war of the infidel purge. When Taoism poses a real threat to Buddhism's belief in the human kingdom, the compassionate monks will have to consider accepting his suggestion to start a crusade against Taoism and start a holy war, which will inevitably end in misery. ”

"I see, I didn't expect the heart of the host of the Lingyin Temple to be so vicious. ”

Presumably, in his opinion, there should not be other sects in the Pure Land where the Buddhism is located. ”

"How is Daozun going to deal with it? ”

"Since he let go and connived, I will take advantage of the situation, how can the dignified Taoist sect be afraid of him. ”

"This king and Daozun advance and retreat together. ”

......

In the middle of the night, Shen Fei sat in the room and meditated, on the one hand, he breathed and breathed out the luck, and on the other hand, he sorted out several things that happened after coming to the imperial capital, and his vision was getting clearer and clearer.

First of all, the purpose of the Pure Spirit Monk ordered by Master Pude was more and more inventive, he first eliminated the two Dharma bodies hidden in the body with his own hands, so that the Great Compassion Body had 100% control, and in the process, he constantly indulged himself to approach the limit of Buddhism's patience, and constantly indulged himself to approach the imperial capital, close to the core of power, the purpose of which was to meet the conditions for the opening of the holy war, so that the Buddha and the Taoist sect could start a war and complete the purge of the infidels; According to himself, the purpose of entering the imperial capital is to replace Confucianism with Buddhism as the foundation of the mortal kingdom, I don't know why he has such self-confidence, but it is obvious that this person is prepared, it is not so simple, he and he should be friends more than enemies; , Although Tuoba Lie thought that the death of the Seventeen Princes was related to Concubine Rong, he didn't think so, he felt that it should be the Ten Princes secretly playing ghosts, and then used the careful layout to lure Tuoba Lie to suspect Concubine Rong, leading to a war between the two sides.

Now, he and His Royal Highness the Prince are facing the test at the same time, and they need to face the provocation of the Buddha, and His Royal Highness needs to deal with the affairs of the court and China alone, and get the approval of more courtiers, if they can all be completed well, soon, His Royal Highness will get more support; if it is not done well, maybe he will be kicked out of the battle before he can gain a firm foothold.

The forces residing in the Imperial City are much more complicated than imagined, and now they are only the tip of the iceberg, but they have released powerful energy, which makes them and His Highness feel troublesome, and it is not known what kind of powerful characters will appear in the future.

In such adversity, instead of being afraid, Shen Fei constantly felt a sense of excitement coming up, he may really be a man born to fight, the more he encounters a strong enemy, the more he can arouse the deep desire in his heart, and feel more and more extreme happiness.

Sitting in the room, Nalan Ruoxue fell asleep peacefully, Shen Fei's body emitted a faint light, and the wood fire elements converged from all directions, flowing through the eight veins of the Qi Jing and converging into the Dan Sea, only a small part of them could be compatible with the Inner Dan, and more of them overflowed along the eight veins of the Qi Jing and returned to the space, thus forming a cycle.

He is a fire wood holy body, which is not particularly outstanding among all holy bodies, and can perform both fire and wood immortal arts at the same time, but he himself is satisfied, after all, wood immortal magic can bring all kinds of magical effects, and fire immortal magic has great power, Shen Fei does not often use fire immortal magic now, because once the fire energy is used, the power of Jiulong will resonate, causing unpredictable consequences.

The immortal power flows in the body, automatically washing the veins and refining the internal organs, and the immortal is constantly getting stronger in the process of such repetition. Shen Fei could feel that although the realm was stagnant, he was getting stronger every day, getting stronger every day, and he could feel the abundant power surging in his body, almost wanting to break out of his body.

He stepped out of bed, his body was shrouded in a faint red light, and there was no sound left, he put on his shoes and pushed the door to the outside of the house, the cold wind was cold, and the wind was mixed with the fragrance of nothing, it can be seen that spring is not far away, raise his hand, palm up, and pieces of flying flowers come to condense into a sword.
