Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

He suddenly discovered that there was a sharp edge hidden under that kind gaze.

That's killing intent!

At this moment, he understood!

If he refuses again, even if he can get out of here tonight, he won't be able to get out of Qi country tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Cao Chao had no choice but to cup his fists and bow.

"Sir, thank you King and Queen Mother Long En!"

"Hahaha, well, from now on, sir is the Prime Minister Cao of the widow!"

"..."

At this moment, a servant rushed in hastily.

"Report to Your Majesty, the envoy's residence caught fire"

"what?!"

Chapter 29 Brother did this to save you

The fire was finally extinguished, the hotel was burned to the ground, and a heat wave rose under the ruined walls.

At the scene, a strong burnt smell hits the face, which is disgusting.

A total of more than 30 people were burned to charred corpses, including Li Yanyan's four guards, and no one was spared.

Fortunately, the bodies of Li Yanyan and Dong'er were not found at the scene, which is a blessing in misfortune.

When Cao Chao, Mao Sui and others arrived in a hurry, the city guard had already led the imperial guards to search the surrounding area for dozens of miles, but they still found no trace of the enemy.

The only discovery was that there was a trace of someone breaking into a certain tunnel in the hotel, and several guards who were guarding their throats were sealed with a sword.

From this point of view, the murderer should have sneaked into the hotel through this tunnel to commit the crime.

"No reason!"

Surrounded by a large number of guards, Qi Wangjian, who had witnessed the tragic scene, was so angry that his face was livid, obviously extremely angry.

All the imperial guards knelt on the ground far and near, and no one dared to speak.

On this side, after inspecting the corpses at the scene, Cao Chao was thoughtful.

The dead had sword wounds on their bodies, and they were all killed by a single sword, indicating that the assailants were all masters of swordsmanship.

The attack was so vicious, the opponent must have revenge, or have ulterior motives, otherwise they would not even spare the servants and guards in the hotel

But these clues were not enough.

When Cao Chao kept looking at the officials present, he suddenly heard Qi Wangjian shout: "Where is the city guard!"

"Chen is here!"

"Know who did it?"

"This... the minister is still investigating."

"Drag it down and enter the dungeon!"

Qi Wangjian's tone was cold and there was no room for discussion.

Being able to attack the hotel without anyone noticing shows that the enemy's strength is definitely not weak.

As a city guard, he allowed such a powerful enemy to infiltrate Linzi City without knowing it. What is the use of such a mediocre person?

At this moment, nearly half of the civil and military officials had arrived, but no one dared to intercede for the city guard.

Shangqing Housheng in the crowd dodged his eyes, apparently with ghosts in his heart.

It just so happened that his every move fell into the eyes of Cao Chao.

After Qi Wangjian vented again, he returned to the palace.

That night, countless forbidden troops rushed into Linzi City from Xidaying, and began to search from house to house.

All of a sudden, the entire city of Linzi was thrown into a commotion, and countless spies from various countries were arrested one after another.

……

In the Shangqing mansion, since Hou Sheng came back, he locked himself in the study, and no one was allowed to approach.

There was a constant sound of smashing things in the house.

"Who exactly did Lu Buwei send?

"It's just a kidnapping, yet such a big mess is happening!"

Hou Sheng wished he could live without Lu Buwei.

The impact of this matter is too bad!

The dignified capital of a country was actually burned down by the envoy's residence, which is equivalent to slapping King Qi in the face in public.

It is definitely impossible to ambiguously pass this matter so easily, King Qi will definitely investigate it to the end.

Once the assassin is arrested and confesses about Hou Sheng Goulian Lu Buwei, even if he is the Queen Mother's younger brother, he will never end well.

This incident was like a can of gunpowder to Hou Sheng, which could blow him to pieces at any time.

"What kind of secret is hidden in this Li Yanyan, which forced Lu Buwei to do such a murderous thing?"

"You wouldn't want to know!"

A cold voice sounded from behind him.

Hou Sheng shuddered in fright, and quickly turned his head to look.

I saw a figure standing not far behind him holding a sword.

Cao Chao wears an iron mask and a dragon scale armor, and his whole body is integrated with the surrounding environment.

If he kept silent, it would be impossible for Hou Sheng to find the other party.

"Cao Chao?"

"I go!

"How did you recognize me?"

Cao Chao lifted off the iron mask, revealing a thin face.

Hou Sheng rolled his eyes.

In the whole of Linzi, only you have this flamboyant golden armor!

Do you really want to be Batman when you put on stockings?

Although there are no stockings or Batman in this era, this is what it means to win after the victory.

"It's boring, don't play!"

Cao Chao glanced at his mouth in dissatisfaction, and threw the mask in his hand on the ground.

"Cao Chao, you are so courageous. As an envoy of the State of Zhao, you dare to break into my Shangqing's residence at night. Aren't you afraid that I will catch you and hand you over to the king?"

"Ha ha!"

This old boy actually dared to threaten himself, Cao Chao was delighted.

"Quick, catch me and hand me over to the king.

"I happened to tell the king that this case of exterminating the residence hall is related to you, and the murderer only got information from you to proceed smoothly."

"What nonsense!"

After Hou Sheng heard this, he became anxious immediately, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed away.

"come..."

Just when Hou Sheng was about to call for someone, suddenly a gust of wind came towards him, and immediately he felt a chill in his ears, and his face was wet.

Looking intently, the souls of the dead suddenly frightened.

He saw a jet-black sword sticking to his profile and piercing into the wall behind him.

The skin on the face was scratched by the sword edge, and some blood flowed.

The shouting stopped abruptly, and Hou Sheng quickly closed his mouth wisely.

"Hey! You can sit down and have a good talk, why do you have to force me to do it?"

"This is your fault!"

With a helpless look, Cao Chao pulled up a chair and sat opposite Hou Sheng.

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

"No, no, you seem to have made a mistake, and I'm here to help you.

Hou Sheng snorted coldly and remained silent.

Cao Chao didn't mind either, and said with a familiar look:

"Old queen, you are in danger!"

"Have you ever thought about how you will deal with yourself if the murderer threatens you with this shit in the future?"

Hou Sheng was silent.

He was dizzy just now, and couldn't figure out the ins and outs of this matter for a while.

Now that Cao Chao reminded me to follow this line of thinking, I suddenly became enlightened.

It's an inning!

Lu Buwei first lured him into the game with a thousand gold, and then asked his subordinates to use ruthless hands to make things worse, so that he can use this matter as a threat in the future.

If things go on like this, wouldn't he become Lu Buwei's puppet?

Damn!

The arrest of Li Yanyan is all fake!

Lu Buwei's real target is probably him!
