"Xiao Jinzhi was assassinated?" Huangfuling suddenly stopped writing the pen in his hand and looked at Ling Qi who was reporting the news in surprise, "What happened?"

Ling Qi hurriedly told all the information he got. After hearing what Ling Qi said, Huangfuling's eyebrows instantly darkened.

"Do you know who did it?"

Ling Qi shook his head, "My subordinates have sent people to investigate. No information has been found yet, but..."

After a pause, Ling Qi looked at His Highness and hesitated to speak.

"However, many people think that it was the king who sent someone to do it, but?"

Ling Qi nodded, "Yes, Your Highness, although most of the people don't know this news yet, it has been spread among the courtiers. According to the information obtained by the subordinates, many people feel that this matter must be the result of His Highness's hatred." He wanted to do this, so he sent people to ambush and take revenge on Emperor Tianyi. Some courtiers even said privately that His Highness did not want any peace agreement at all. It was just due to the situation at that time. It won't be long before His Highness will organize his troops to attack Tianyi."

These are simply nonsense. From the time he left Taizhou City until now, His Highness has never ordered anyone to ambush Emperor Tianyi. And he could tell from following His Highness that His Highness sincerely recognized the peace treaty this time.

"It seems that the person who took action not only wants to deal with Xiao Jinzhi, but may also want to use this matter to deal with me."

"Why did Your Highness say this?" Ling Qi looked at Huangfu Mausoleum in confusion.

The latter sneered, "After Xiao Jinzhi's accident, Tianyi definitely wanted to block the news, but the news still spread so fast. That can only mean that the people who plotted against Xiao Jinzhi spread it deliberately. It was so short. Within a short period of time, this basin of dirty water was poured on my head, and he also said it with such a nose and eyes, it is difficult for people to believe that no one among them deliberately manipulated."

And once such news comes out, no matter whether he has organized his troops and prepared for war or not, it will be difficult for Tianyi not to spread doubts about him. In addition, on the court side, maybe someone really hopes that they can seize the opportunity to attack Tianyi.

However, the peace agreement had just been signed, and Xiao Jinzhi had shown enough sincerity. If he really sent troops at this time, it would be tantamount to admitting that he had sent people to ambush, and his backbone would only be I'm afraid that I'm really going to be stabbed to death!

"Your Highness, what do you think? Now is indeed a rare opportunity. Do you want to send troops to attack?" Ling Qi couldn't help but ask.

"A rare good opportunity?" Huangfuling shook his head, "I'm afraid it may not be possible. Since Xiao Jinzhi was successfully assassinated and a large amount of explosives were used, the person behind it must not be simple. Until we find out who did it, Whoever sent troops rashly before was afraid that he would step into the opponent's trap."

In the face of absolute interests, reputation is indeed nothing. After all, most history books are written by the victors. But before you figure out the truth, if you take action rashly, you may not become that mantis hunting cicadas!

"Ling Qi, pass on this king's order to carefully trace the source of the explosives and be sure to find the person who did it secretly. By the way, send someone to send a message to Tianyi and ask them if they need any help. No matter what, as long as we can do it Come and spare no effort.”

Regardless of whether Tianyi believes it or not, the attitude must be shown.

Now, he hopes that Xiao Jinzhi can be safe and sound. If the other party really dies in Danyue, this matter will be troublesome!

……

During the following period, Qin Li and his men carefully searched dozens of miles around the cliff, but still found nothing.

"The emperor was injured. If he really left on his own, he shouldn't have been able to go far. And since he escaped the ambush, why didn't he find a way to contact us?" Qin Li frowned. , in front of Shen Chi, he finally showed some worry.

At first he thought that the emperor had not been caught, but after searching for so long, he still found no clues at all. It was really hard for him not to doubt whether his initial guess was true.

Could it be that the ambush soldiers were divided into several routes, and they only met the one who was still looking for the emperor, and beyond that, there were other assassins who had already found the whereabouts of the emperor and took him away?

But if someone has really captured the emperor, no matter what the purpose is, there should be news, unless... the other party has secretly killed the emperor!

"Don't think too much. Maybe the emperor was injured and unable to move, and there were assassins hunting for him, so he hid." Shen Chi said comfortingly.

Although his words were comforting, his expression also showed deep concern.

"You're right, it must be like this." Qin Li nodded quickly, but he didn't know whether he really agreed with Shen Chi's analysis or was trying to comfort himself.

"Guard Qin, there is a letter from Danyue." The sound of reporting interrupted the conversation between Qin Li and Shen Chi.

Looking at the letter handed over, Qin Li immediately opened it, and what was written in the letter was what Huangfuling had previously explained, indicating that if there was any need, Dan Yue would definitely help.

After reading it, Qin Li handed the letter in his hand to Shen Chi, "Do you believe them?"

Shen Chi scanned the contents of the letter and shook his head, "I don't believe it."

"Do you think this matter has something to do with Huangfuling Mausoleum?" Qin Li asked.

Shen Chi thought for a while, "I have also read the letter sent by the Queen. In fact, the Queen's analysis is reasonable. This matter may not have anything to do with the Huangful Mausoleum. However, as the Queen said in the letter, it can be done in With so many explosives being used in Danyue, even if the opponent has nothing to do with Huangfuling, his identity is not simple. Moreover, even if it is not Huangfuling who sent someone to do it, after this incident, who can guarantee that Huangfuling will not give birth to a child? Have other thoughts."

It's just that at this time, finding the emperor first is the top priority. As for who is behind it and what the involvement is, they can't care about it for the moment.

Qin Li took a deep breath and said, "You are right."

Immediately, his face turned bitter again.

"I don't know where the emperor is now. If he can't be found... I'm afraid I won't be able to stand still!"

Now people are panicked and everyone is extremely uneasy. Although he has been following the emperor, in the end he is just a guard. If this continues, everyone may not be able to continue to obey his orders. By then, he may not be able to control himself. Living.

"Qin Li, Shen Chi."

The call came from outside the temporary tent, and someone opened the tent and walked in.

Qin Li and Shen Chi both turned their heads and were stunned when they saw Chu Huanyan.

In the end, it was Qin Li who reacted first and said with joy and surprise: "Queen? Why are you here!"
