Death Princess

"Your Highness." A man who looked like a prince's guard knelt at the feet of Ping Wang He Yupeng who had just arrived in Lingzhou a few days ago.

"How?" He Yupeng raised his head from the scroll, "Can the letter found in Ningyuan's room in the burnt inn be restored?"

"The subordinate is incompetent," the man lowered his head. "The subordinate tried all the methods, but he could only recover three characters: 'six' and 'princess'." As he spoke, the man held a piece of paper with something on it with both hands. overhead.

"It's no wonder you. This letter should have been deliberately destroyed, but the appearance of the assassin made it impossible to burn it in time, leaving some unidentifiable wreckage. If it can really be completely restored, This king should doubt the authenticity of this letter." He Yupeng put down the scroll and took the paper, but his gaze remained on the bodyguard, "What do you think, these three words, 'six princesses'. The eldest princess, the eldest princess, and the princess all add up, and there are only four of them, the 'six princesses'..." He said, and put the paper in front of the man.

"The subordinates believe that the letter should not refer to 'six princesses', because the fragments of the word 'six' and the word 'princess' cannot be spliced ​​together, and there should be other words in the middle."

"Six, princess." Putting the paper back on the table, He Yupeng stroked the short beard on his chin thoughtfully, "Do you still remember?" He raised his head again, "The inexplicable disappearance of Dali Temple Those files? It seems that they were suppressed by the crown prince."

"Your Highness said, could it be the case of girls who were killed in the same period of time in various states?" The guard suddenly realized, "Ah, those girls seem to be..."

"Both have six fingers." He Yupeng laughed. "When I first found out about this, I thought it was just a mad dog under the crown prince causing trouble. In order to avoid the suspicion of the father, the crown prince had no choice but to suppress it. Now it seems that this The matter is not simple. The purpose of the emperor sending General Ning to the mission may not be as pure as it appears on the surface. It seems that this king is playing the wrong way this time, and the crown prince really can't wait to get rid of General Ning."

"If you send someone to investigate again, you must find General Ning and the guards intact. Also," He Yupeng ordered, "Let the Yijiao go find six-fingered women for this king, no matter male or female, If you find it, you will guard it in secret, and you will not make any mistakes. This king wants to see what other shady secrets His Royal Highness still has."

"Yes!" The man stepped back.

Six fingers, princess.He Yupeng squeezed the paper on the case tightly.

"Brother Ping Wang!" A clear call came from outside the door.

He Yupeng grabbed the paper in his hand, and a flame from nowhere instantly turned the paper into ashes.

"Yi'er is here." After changing his grim expression, He Yupeng stood up and greeted the visitor gently.

"Brother Ping Wang, Brother Ping Wang," a pretty girl ran in from the door and grabbed He Yupeng's sleeve, "Brother, take Yi'er to Jianzong, Yi'er will follow here Well, didn’t the emperor’s uncle also acquiesce.”

"Since the father has promised Yi'er that you will go as an envoy with my brother, I will take you to have a good look at this annual martial arts conference. But," He Yupeng's face was full of disbelief. Halal and false, "Why does Yi'er have to go to the Jianzong with my brother today? After a few days, the martial arts conference will start, and Yi'er has a lot of opportunities to go there."

"Hey, brother, you've got the point when you ask this question." He Yi raised a finger excitedly, and shook it in front of He Yupeng, "Yi'er heard, this young lord of the Sword Sect, Chao Lu, is a rare one." A strange person who met once, with blue clothes and a shadowless sword. After becoming the young suzerain at the age of 15, he overthrew the lair of the remnants of the Yi sect. At the age of 17, he defeated the former leader of the martial arts conference-Jianzong Han Zhuo, and he was unscathed. In and out of the maze of white bones, ten..."

"All right, all right," He Yupeng stretched out his hand to interrupt He Yi's words, "I know, I know, Yi'er, you just want to see the morning dew. Brother, why don't you take you there? Why don't you go?" Alright, stop talking about the great achievements of the young master of the Sword Sect in Brother Wei's ears."

"Really?" He Yi's eyes lit up, "It's a deal?"

"It's a deal." He Yupeng nodded while supporting his forehead.

"Hahaha, Chaolu, this princess is here!!!" Cheers echoed in the entire Lingzhou courtyard of Prince Ping's Mansion.

. . .

"Ah—————" Zhao Lu sneezed for a long time, then rubbed her nose fiercely, "Brother, what should I do, I suddenly feel a chill down my spine."

"Fengchi?" Wen Yihai, who had long been accustomed to Zhaolu's character, replied without raising his eyelids.

"No, no, no," Zhao Lu shook her hand like a rattle, "This creepy feeling is like some evil spirit is staring at me from behind."

"Oh," Wen Yihai raised half of his eyelids, "Then you want me to find Shuangxue to show you?"

Thinking of the decoction that was not for people to drink, Zhao Lu shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, it's really inconvenient to bother the dignified Young Master Xueminggu with such a trivial matter. I suddenly feel better, um," like He moved his arms as if to prove something, "There is nothing wrong with it, it must be my illusion just now."

Wen Yihai resisted the urge to raise the corners of his mouth, he coughed twice, and changed the subject back to the business: "I've found out about the cold pupil, and I didn't find anything suspicious just from the fact that she entered the dark cabinet." You also know her background. After the village was massacred, she wandered around alone. Later, she was caught for doing some sneaky things in the shop under the shadow door, and she was forced to pay off her debts. Selling herself as a slave. At that time, the Ou Pavilion owner of the Dark Pavilion happened to be working nearby, and seeing that she was in good shape, he took her into the Dark Pavilion."

"Hmm..." Zhao Lu lowered her head and rubbed her chin, hiding her expression, "What about after that? Senior brother said that there is nothing suspicious about her entering the Dark Pavilion, but what about after entering the Dark Pavilion?"

Wen Yihai noticed the change in Chaolu's mood, but he didn't say much, but replied: "What is her first task after leaving the teacher, and what did she do, Alu, you know better than anyone else. "When he said this, Wen Yihai's gaze involuntarily fell on the scar on Zhao Lu's neck that was already somewhat invisible.

"But what's strange is that she secretly let go of the assassination target, and she kept it a secret for five years. Even three years ago, when Ahui took advantage of King Ping's order to investigate the tragedy eight years ago, he sent Yi'er according to After her own thoughts were sent to the capital, when the crown prince sent people to Yingmen to investigate and silence her, Leng Tong was not dealt with."

"Eight years ago, the Crown Prince and King Heping each had a hand in it. We have known this for a long time. Although we don't know who is the main envoy. But as a party involved, Leng Tong is still the culprit who let Princess Changping go. The culprit, people from His Majesty, King Ping, and the prince have all found out about Shadow Gate. The Ou Pavilion Master of the Dark Pavilion died, and the old Shadow Gate Master was forced to abdicate. One of the killers, not only was not silenced, but was not even dealt with by the secret cabinet as a mission failure according to the cabinet regulations."

Zhao Lu's complexion was not very good, subconsciously, she touched the bone whistle on her body.

Leng Tong...was she really not punished?

"At that time, in order to investigate what happened eight years ago, we specially attended the banquet held by the new sect master Jiang Tang," Wen Yihai continued, "We only found out about Princess Liuzhi three years ago. The princess herself lost her six fingers precisely at that time, and escaped the storm from the three forces of the imperial court unscathed, as if someone was always protecting her behind her."

"At the beginning, I suspected that the person protecting her was Master Ouge, because she seemed to have a good personal relationship with Master Ouge's daughter, one of the three masters - Duohun Xuemu, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. It is difficult for the master to protect himself, so why would he protect a hot-handed apprentice who has no blood relationship? Besides, after the death of Pavilion Master Ou, the bone erosion mist who had always been at odds with him became the pavilion master. People's situation is like walking on thin ice, if Pavilion Master Ou really has the strength to spare, he should protect his sons and daughters first."

"Also, the mother of the Ou family seems to be related to the Hanling clan, and the death of the Ou Pavilion master at that time is also a bit strange. It really doesn't look like a mist or a unilateral act by the court. What happened three years ago? How much does Leng Tong know about her own life experience?" Wen Yihai paused, and took a sip of tea, "Now it seems that things are far more complicated than we originally thought."

"The other force, there is another force that we have never paid attention to." Zhao Lu clenched her fists.

"As for what you asked earlier, Ah Lu, if I'm not mistaken about the restraint of Leng Tong by the dark pavilion, it should be the Ou family. I will continue to investigate this matter. In short, it is better to be careful." Wen Wen Yi Hai rubbed the space between his brows, "If you make a mistake in one step, you, Ah Hui and Yi'er will be in a..."

"Thank you, brother, for reminding me." Wen Yihai didn't finish, but Zhaolu understood.

At this moment, Wei Zhuoer knocked on the door and walked in.

"Ah, Zhuo Er," Zhao Lu moved her buttocks, giving Wei Zhuo Er a place to sit on the ground, "Is the matter settled?"

But Wei Zhuoer didn't sit down, as if he knew that everyone would not stay in this room for long, "You talk about the wreckage of the letter," she replied, "it's done, it's done a long time ago Yes. His Royal Highness, King Ping, probably has already taken it to study carefully. It’s just that you, Young Sovereign Chao, are really good at summoning people. Let me make something that looks like it’s burnt but it’s actually not. Only an extremely complicated method can restore it. Letter', and asked me to secretly put it in the inn that was guarded by the county guards and Prince Heping's personal guards, and ants couldn't get in."

"This Lengtong is really in the midst of blessings and doesn't know her blessings. In order to let King Ping get involved in Princess Liuzhi's affairs, so as to add another layer of protection to her golden spoon life, our Jianzong and Xueminggu must be busy like spinning tops Now, she is still blaming you." Wei Zhuoer complained happily as if he had opened the valve of complaints.

"Oh," Zhao Lu raised her eyebrows, "So I didn't do it for the life of Wei's mother and younger brother, but for Leng Tong's life."

Wei Zhuoer choked up.

Zhao Lu smiled smugly, and asked after laughing enough, "Tell me, you came here in a hurry, but what trouble did you cause?"

"Me? Caused trouble?" Wei Zhuoer first pointed to his nose, then raised the corners of his mouth gloatingly, "It's not me who caused trouble, but Young Sect Master, you are going to be in big trouble."

Zhao Lu shuddered, she remembered the chill just now behind her back.

The foresight of the Phantom Spirit Clan is really extraordinary, ominous premonitions will definitely bring ominous things.

"Prince Ping came just now, and he is waiting for you in the front hall, but His Royal Highness Ping Wang is not the only one here," Wei Zhuoer smirked and leaned into Chao Lu's ear, "Princess Changping is also here."

"Ah—" Zhao Lu screamed, and she suddenly felt as big as a cow.

Princess Changping, that princess of Changping, He Yi, who dreamed of defeating herself since she was a child, never forgot to attack her when she ate, went to the toilet, and slept, bit her own palm every now and then, and couldn't fight back after being bitten.Although we miss each other very much after seeing each other for three years, but missing is not the same as wanting to see each other.

The bastard Zhaohui knew that Yi'er was coming, but he kept hiding it.

"Brother, didn't I want to give you a surprise?" Zhao Lu could already imagine how her brother Qin Hui would respond with an expression of "it's none of my business" after hearing her complaint.
