Yu Xiang knelt down, raised her head, looked at Zhaoyan with hot eyes, and said in a hissed voice: "Your Majesty knows how I am and what my character is. Please, Your Majesty, decide for me."

Because of the Qingqiu Three Cities incident, Yu Xiang has always held a respect and gratitude towards Zhaoyan in his heart, so at this moment, he subconsciously wants to ask Zhaoyan to judge the case arbitrarily.

Although this framing was flawless, as long as Zhao Yan was willing to send Sirius Yexiao to investigate carefully, they would always find clues and return him innocent.Now that the Yu family has just moved into the three cities of Qingqiu, it is an important stage to restore their vitality and recuperate. There are too many trivial matters and miscellaneous matters waiting for him to deal with and arrange, and he must not have an accident at this time.Otherwise, many years of hard work will be ruined, and the entire Yu clan will have no leader, and may face the risk of being driven back to the barren land in the northwest.

"Your Majesty!"

The monks of the Shui Tribe who spoke just now said fiercely: "Although the Yu Clan has an alliance with the Sirius, the King attacked Qingqiu, and the Donghai Tribe also frozen the surface of the East China Sea for ten days to clear the way for the King. In terms of sincerity, they are not inferior to those of the other tribes. The Shui tribe also asks the king to be the master of our prime minister, and not to favor some people because of personal interests."

"Favouritism?" Xuezheng standing in the hall's eyes turned cold, turned his head, and asked coldly: "Do you know who you are talking to?"

His whole body was full of murderous aura, the monk from the Shui Tribe felt his forehead was scratched so painfully, trembling for a moment, bowed his head and apologized: "It's the minister who spoke disrespectfully, Your Majesty, don't blame me."

Zhao Yan said indifferently: "Everyone has helped me when I was in danger. If I have left and right arms, how can I cut off my own arm because of personal affection?"

"Patriarch Yu." He shook open the letter he had found from Yuan Qi again in mid-air, and said, "I ask you, according to what is said in this letter, you asked Yuan Qi to meet because of that 'event in the past'." Talk. And everyone, including me, knows that the Yu people and the Shui people have no relationship, so what is this 'event in the past' that made Yuan Qi go to the appointment late at night?"

Yu Xiang's face suddenly turned pale, her eyes trembled for a long time, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "Forgive me, your lord, this is a private matter between Yuan Qi and me, and it is... not convenient to make it public."

"Is it?"

Zhao Yan put the letter back on the case, and said with a blank expression: "Since you asked me to decide the case, all the matters involved in the case are evidence, and there is no selfishness. If Patriarch Yu is unwilling to talk about this matter, this case will How will I break it?"

The blood on Yu Xiang's face seemed to be drained.

The monk of the aquatic tribe immediately took the opportunity to bite and said: "I think he is clearly guilty!"

Zhao Yan stared at Yu Xiang thoughtfully, and for a moment, he muttered: "The sky is over today, and everyone is exhausted. I will give Patriarch Yu a night to think about it. When Patriarch Yu thinks about it tomorrow, I will come to settle this matter." Koan."

Although everyone in the Shui tribe was unwilling to accept it, they didn't dare to make trouble in front of Zhaoyan, they could only respond.

Zhaoyan announced the end of the banquet, and specially allocated a team of mysterious spirit cavalry to escort everyone back to the post house.Theoretically, before the real culprit is found out, all the attendees today are suspected, so Zhaoyan's actions are understandable.What's more, everyone was terrified and anxious, wishing to stay away from that headless corpse and go back to the residence to nest early. After hearing Zhaoyan's order, they immediately bid farewell and left with gratitude.

After everyone retreated, Zhaoyan asked Xuezheng: "Are there any other abnormalities at the scene?"

Xuezheng said: "When General Mo arrived with his people, he only saw the corpses of Yu Xiang, monks from the Shui Tribe and Yuan Qi. However, on another hillside a few feet away, there were traces of a large piece of wild grass being cut off by the flow of spiritual power. There is also a deep pit on the ground, all caused by water spells."

"For such a big pit, the caster should have a very high level of cultivation. I guessed that it was most likely caused by Yuan Qi's conflict with others. In addition, I also found a broken limb buried in the loess in the deep pit. It's strange. What is surprising is that although both Yu Xiang and those monks from the Aquarium were injured, none of them lost their arms. Therefore, I speculate that there must have been another group of people at the scene who also learned Aquarium spells, but they were not monks from the Aquarium."

Xuezheng didn't go any further.

Zhao Yan understood it already, and said: "I know, step back, don't make this matter public again."

"Yes."

Zhao Yan sat silently on the main seat, his entire face was hidden in the dark, no expression could be seen, only the back of his hand supporting the desk showed obvious blue veins.

For a while, only the sound of rainstorm and thunder was heard in the hall.

"Is there any whereabouts of that little thing?"

Zhao Yan suddenly asked in a low voice.

Yunyi and Yinzhu looked at each other, and replied cautiously: "I have searched all over the palace, but I haven't found any trace of the young master."

Zhaoyan gritted his teeth: "Impossible."

In fact, not only Zhaoyan thought so, but also Yunyi couldn't understand it.

For the palace banquet tonight, the defenses outside the hall were several times stricter than usual, and nearly a hundred guards of the Demon Locking Platform were placed in the dark, enough to deal with any unexpected situation. How did the little fox escape.

As soon as the little fox disappeared, Yuan Qi died at the foot of Dafan Mountain. The two seemingly unrelated events were a coincidence, or there were other guidances in the dark.After all, Dafan Mountain is next to an important checkpoint in the Western Territory. Once the pass is passed, the little fox can escape completely, and it will be very difficult to find him.

The black candle is more depressed.Your Majesty specially ordered the ceremonial stage to rush to make the dresses overnight, obviously because he was planning to announce the queen's appointment in front of the envoys of all ethnic groups tonight.As the chief executive of the inner court, he knew how much pressure the monarch would have to endure to make this decision arbitrarily.It was such a great happy event, whoever expected it to be at a critical moment, the little fox cub didn't appreciate it, and even boldly deceived the king and ran away.

Yin Zhu was worrying about the current situation, how to persuade the emperor to put his body first, and drive back to the palace to rest first, but when he raised his eyes, an absolutely unexpected figure bumped into his eyes.

"Jun, Mrs. Jun?!"

Yin Zhu stared in astonishment at Mu Hua, who was dressed in white and stood at the entrance of the hall with an umbrella.

Zhao Yan also raised his face slowly.

The mother and son looked at each other across a rain curtain, and it was rare that they did not show their hatred for each other as in the past.Mu Hua said: "Let's go to Dafan Mountain and have a look."

"If you go late, people may really disappear."

After leaving these words, he drifted away just like when he came.

While Yunyi and Yinzhu were still in a daze, Zhaoyan got up suddenly and rushed towards the rain curtain.

**

There was thunder and lightning, torrential rain poured down, and the gust of wind howled sharply, like a huge wind cutter, cutting off a row of spirit trees that were as thick as bowls.The sky was purple and dark, like a huge vortex, trying to sweep all living things into it.

The black-armored cavalry stepped on the muddy rocks like a tide, splashing three-foot-high mud spots, rushing up to the commanding heights on all sides of the valley from all directions.The entire ground trembled.

Rumbling--

Thunder rolled over, and two bolts of lightning, one blue and one purple, struck down at the same time, hitting a spirit tree halfway up the mountain, with the spirit tree as the center, a huge fireball burst into flames.

On a rock not far from the Spirit Tree, a young man in a green shirt was sitting with his sword stroked. The slanting raindrops wet his black hair and green sleeves, but he didn't realize it. A blade with flowing water ripples.

Thin streams of blood continued to flow down the cuffs of his green sleeves, falling into the muddy rocky ground, mixing with rainwater, vegetation, and everything in the mountains.

Under the boy's feet was a bloody head.

The human head's eyes are wide open, and the whites of the eyes are turned up, staring at the rainy night.

"Little Lord."

Tangyue nimbly got out from the gap between the rocks, holding the sword in her hand, her black hair sticking to her face wetly, panting: "All the roads are blocked by them, they are from the Qinglang Department. The leader It is Qiu Feng's eldest son, Qiu Yun."

Chang Ling wiped off the last ray of blood on the knife, raised his head, and calmly looked diagonally upwards, where a row of iron cavalry was standing silently like sculptures.

"It seems that there will be a bloody battle tonight."

The corner of Chang Ling's mouth twitched, and he said indifferently.

Tangyue nodded: "My subordinates have investigated, and the western cliff is the most difficult to climb. It is difficult for iron cavalry to climb up, and it is the best point to break through. But... if this happens, we will face to face with the Sirius iron cavalry."

Chang Ling sighed: "Perhaps the world is doomed to not have the law of both."

According to the original plan, after killing Yuan Qi, he still had ample opportunity to go back to the palace and attend the unfinished dinner, until he encountered this "accidental" interception on the way.

Tangyue looked at the young man who was surrounded by powerful enemies and was still too calm, her heart suddenly settled down, and she said with a smile: "Fortunately, everything has been prepared in Qingqiu, and the young master can go back to clean up the mess at any time .”

"Subordinate, swear to protect the young master to the death."

Chang Ling said: "Thank you."

The dull sound of iron hooves sounded again, and from above, one could clearly see that the surrounding cavalry were gradually shrinking the encirclement.

"Father!" Qiu Yun looked at Qiu Ye who came in the rain in surprise.

Qiu Ye waved him back, rode his horse to the front, lowered his eyes, looked down coldly at the elf in the valley, and said: "Little guy, you can't escape today, instead of dying and wasting your strength in vain Obediently tie up your hands."

Chang Ling Xunsheng raised his head, looked at him without hesitation, and said with a smile: "I heard that since Dazhu Kingdom recuperated behind closed doors, the knives of the five battalions of the Qinglang Division have not been stained with blood for nearly a hundred years. Now, in order to catch me, Dazhu Kingdom is sick and wearing armor, and the elite troops of Qinglang come out. How lucky I am to have such favor from Dazhu Kingdom."

Qiu Ye snorted and laughed, as if looking at a mischievous child, he said: "You don't have to be so modest, if you don't show up like this, I'm really not sure that I can catch you."

Chang Ling lifted the saber and said, "Come on then. Just in time, I also want to learn about the Crescent Moon Saber from the Qinglang Department."

Qiu Ye frowned, a little confused: "Are you really going to resist?"

Chang Ling raised the corners of his mouth, his black eyes reflected a gleam of knife light, and said: "Until the last moment, it's uncertain who will be the one who will take the lead and who will resist."

Qiu Ye shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being merciless."

He lightly raised his hand, and the iron cavalry standing still in all directions immediately rushed into the valley like a flood, engulfing the two figures in the valley in an instant.
