my magic sword system

Empress Gongye Fengxia's heart skipped a beat, she should have known that when this Shi Qizhi came to him, basically bad things happened, he was really a crow's mouth.

"Oh?" The Empress Gongye Fengxia asked while suppressing her displeasure.

"This morning, Fushui County sent an urgent official report. Last night, Jingzhong Haitangwei went to the Fushuiguan post to pass the order and took away Mr. Qi." Shi Qizhi said with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"I never ordered Haitang Wei to deliver the decree!" The Empress Gongye Fengxia said with her brows furrowed.

"What? Wasn't Haitang Guard sent by the emperor?" Shi Qizhi's expression changed drastically. Apart from the current Holy Majesty, who else could command Haitang Guard?
"Of course not! What's going on?" Empress Gongye Fengxia's expression was also gloomy and terrifying, almost dripping ink.

"Early this morning, the officials of Fushui County discovered that all the dozen or so Begonia guards who went to deliver the decree were killed, and Master Qi is missing!" Shi Qizhi said, his complexion was not very good, and if he said so, Qi Changchun might have been killed .

Gongye Fengxia took three steps back, her face pale.

······
The next day, at night, the empress Gongye Fengxia sat quietly behind the desk in the Chonghua Palace, meditating. There were too many big facts recently, and what disturbed her most was that Qi Changchun had disappeared. It was certain that Qi Changchun had been murdered, but this feeling of losing control made her feel very uneasy. After all, the empress Gongye Fengxia still relied on this man, a man different from other men.

Shi Qizhi and Yan Xuqing walked into the hall quickly, the empress Gongye Fengxia raised her eyelids and asked, "Qizhi, how is it?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial guards and the Rose Army have searched all the towns and villages within a hundred miles of Shenwei in Fushui County, but there is no trace of Lord Qi." Shi Qizhi said with a solemn expression.

"I checked the Haitang guards all over, and no one left the capital last night. It seems that those Haitang guards are fake." Yan Xuqing said.

"It seems that Qi Daojian has already been killed." Hearing Shi Qizhi and Yan Xuqing's words, Gongye Fengxia couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"Unexpectedly, Qi Daojian's generation of great sages died at the hands of Xiaoxiao!" Shi Qizhi said with a mournful expression, feeling rather regretful.

"It was I who considered not to apply. Who would have thought that these rebels would be so mad!" The Empress Gongye Fengxia said with an annoyed expression, gnashing her teeth.

"They even dare to impersonate the Western Qiang Mission, so what else are they afraid to do!" Shi Qizhi sighed.

"It's ridiculous that we don't even know who our opponent is!" Empress Gongye Fengxia slammed a fist on the table, gnashing her teeth.

"The incompetence of the ministers has made His Majesty exhausted." Qi Changchun and Yan Xuqing bowed their heads and said in unison.

"I can't blame you for this. It seems that we are ready to fight against Xiqiang! Strangely, we must strike first, and we must take the initiative to attack." Gongye Fengxia sighed.

"The matter has come to this point, I am afraid there is no other good way." Shi Qizhi nodded.

"Immediately draw up an order to designate Qiao Yuan, the general of Feng Feiying Broken Feather, as the chief commander of the Northwest Road March, and dispatch the main force of the left and right expeditionary guards to Liangzhou, and launch an attack before winter, so as to achieve a quick battle." Gongye Fengxia. After pondering for a moment, said.

"Yes! Also, Your Majesty, I will go to Yuanjue Temple to offer incense in three days, do I need to reschedule?" Shi Qizhi asked.

"As usual. I'm tired and want to take a rest." Gongye Fengxia shook her head.

At the same time, Qi Changchun and Yuan Fang suddenly appeared on the ruins of the kiln in Yong'an City.

This was once the prison where Li Huo was held, but now it has been burned to pieces by the fire.

The two stood quietly among the rubble, Qi Changchun's starry eyes searched for clues; rubble and bricks; the collapsed kiln entrance; mottled blood on the bricks.

Finally, his eyes fell on a white spot under a piece of broken tiles.

He walked over slowly, gently moving away the residual tiles with his hands, revealing the 'white spot' under the forehead - it was the white silk fabric that had been burned to the point where only a corner remained.

He picked it up.

Yuan Fang's eyes glanced not far behind without leaving a trace, and she knew that there was a pair of eyes watching the two of them quietly.

After Qi Changchun returned to the inn, he put the remnants of the white silk he had just picked up on the table, and then put the white silk handkerchief used by the 'coral snake' next to each other for comparison.The materials of the two are exactly the same!
A smile appeared on Qi Changchun's handsome face.

At this time, Yuan Fang pushed open the door and came in, then turned around and closed the door without any shyness, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes really don't care about those trivial things.

Qi Changchun looked at her pretty face, almost lost his mind, he turned his head slightly, and asked again. "Well, what's the news?"

"The emperor will go to Yuanjue Temple to offer incense in three days." Yuan Fang replied, she saw the way Qi Changchun looked at her dodging, Yuan Fang nodded secretly, he was considered an upright gentleman, his eyes were relatively clear, Yuan Fang got along with Qi Changchun These days, recognize the character of this handsome man.

Qi Changchun nodded, and pointed to Yuan Fang's stump and handkerchief on the table.

"Look at this thing."

Yuan Fang looked along Qi Changchun's slender fingers, but saw that the material of the handkerchief and the residual horn were actually the same, Yuan Fang exclaimed: "The material of both is exactly the same, they are both handkerchiefs used by 'Corona snake'!"

"Yes, now, there are a few things that are certain. First, the fire in the prison was by no means an accident; second, the killing of the Xiqiang Mission and the fire in the prison were the same culprit. Therefore, these two cases are actually the same case... "Qi Changchun said solemnly.

As he spoke, Qi Changchun walked to the desk, picked up a pen and drew on the paper. 'Kill the mission—fake mission to Beijing...'

"The first question arises. Why did the 'Coral Snake' take such a risk to attack and kill the embassy, ​​and even pretended to enter Beijing?" Qi Changchun suddenly stopped his hands, raised his head and asked Yuan Fang.

"There must be a purpose." Yuan Fang frowned.

"This is for sure. We use the method of exclusion. The first possibility is that they did this to provoke a war between the two countries." Qi Changchun nodded.

"Then they only need to kill the mission, and they don't need to pretend to be a mission to go to Beijing." Yuan Fang shook his head.

"It makes sense, this point can be ruled out. The second possibility is for profit. You can get a lot of rewards by pretending to be a mission to Beijing." Qi Changchun nodded.

"In that case, they don't have to hang on to me. I've been wanted by the court. In fact, my life and death are not important anymore. Besides, they won't kill the princess or assassinate the lord." Yuan Fang shook his head again.

The news of Princess Qingli's death had already spread throughout Yong'an City, so it was not surprising that Yuan Fang knew about it.

Qi Changchun nodded, she is such an intelligent woman.

"Well, this is also ruled out. The third possibility is to use the identity of the mission as a cover to enter the capital to achieve its ulterior purpose." Qi Changchun said.

"This is the most reasonable assumption." Yuan Fangxiu frowned slightly, and said after a moment of thought.

In the bottom of her heart, Yuan Fang asked Liu Gaoyang secretly: "Master, what do you think about this matter!"

"Didn't I say that I want to rest?" Liu Gaoyang said in a confused tone.

"Master, you have a lot of experience and knowledge, so you can analyze it for me!" Yuan Fang's tone actually had a hint of coquettishness in it.

"Think, think for yourself, don't bother me, unless it's about martial arts, don't bother me to rest." Liu Gaoyang said angrily.
