At this moment, the emperor suddenly said: "Ling Xin, you didn't say that Lan Qing was also assassinated?"

Qu Ling bowed his heart, and replied meaningfully: "Your Majesty, the stars only tell the truth, maybe not comprehensive, but they will definitely not lie."

What he meant was clearly implying that Lan Jue was lying, that everyone in the hall looked like a mirror, but Lan Jue could just stare and pretend not to understand, without even moving his eyebrows.

Therefore, some courtiers echoed: "In any case, Your Majesty, the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty cannot absolve himself of the blame."

"Ah, no!" Lan Jue said, "Even if Xitang Kingdom is not big, I don't know all about that person, and I don't know Mr. Lin Ge, so I don't know why the assassin killed him. Can you be reasonable? !"

After finishing speaking, he had an angry expression of "I'm going to beat you up like you", and his voice was so loud that the whole hall shook.

Lan Jue insisted on "Tiyi Tiewei's inaction", and he had a good reason - the Tiewei chased and killed assassins in the street, and everyone knew about the ups and downs in the capital, even if the emperor was addicted to watching the stars with beauties in the harem , It is impossible not to know the hands and feet of his sister.But under such circumstances, how could the assassin succeed?

In particular, Lan Jue cursed unintentionally: "A daring assassin, after failing to assassinate the Eldest Princess, dares to toss around with Tiewei's knife like this, it's unreasonable!"

As a result, Bai Jingan had to watch helplessly as the hat of "inaction" was put on his head. The Eldest Princess recalled it one step ahead of him, and when she realized something was wrong, she immediately hinted with her eyes, so Bai Jingan was startled. Going forward, knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It's my fault in handling affairs, and I failed to wipe out the assassins who caused chaos. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The dragon sparrow was lost, so far there is no clue. The eldest princess Qinghe only secretly entrusted this task to Bai Jing'an. Indeed, Tiewei obeyed the eldest princess's order more than the emperor, but the two of them would never let the emperor know about the dragon sparrow. Regarding the disappearance of the knife, when Lan Jue came, Chu Xiang had concluded that as long as Lan Jue bit the iron guard, the eldest princess would definitely come forward. No matter who was blaming Lan Jue, the eldest princess would help protect him.

Chu Xiang's statement is: "The emperor is superstitious. Although he is stupid, everyone is greedy for power. If the emperor's sword is lost, the emperor will be furious no matter how quiet and inactive. The eldest princess will definitely conceal this matter. The dispatch of iron guards has already caused a lot of trouble. Even though the streets are full of iron guards, there are still frequent assassins, and the efficiency of the iron guards in handling cases is too low. Their actual purpose will inevitably be questioned. It has something to do with you, the eldest princess will be worried about the loss of the dragon bird, after all, she doesn't know that this matter has nothing to do with you, even if you stole the knife, she still has to protect you in front of the emperor."

Lan Jue also remembered that Chu Xiang said: "At this time, except for the princess's enemies, whoever bites you is the one who tries to set the blame."

Only the two oldest elders in the court dared to oppose the eldest princess openly, and objected to the eldest princess's hearing at the court on the grounds that the rooster was in the morning, but neither of them questioned this.

Lan Jue asked at the time: "Then, wouldn't it be too obvious to bite me directly?"

In this regard, Chu Xiang is very confident: "The news is not circulating, your lord, you are not reckless, but no matter what the purpose of the person who framed you is to target you, he doesn't know your true personality, unless you It was people in Yang Feng's position who rebelled, but I don't think you will have such a big loophole, so the trap for a wise man needs to be carefully designed, but for a villager..." Therefore, even in ancient times, information warfare such as The new age combat experience is still extremely effective.

Lan Jue sneered: "It turned out that they dug their own hole. It's not me who said I was a barbarian."

So, after the eldest princess spoke out to excuse Lan Jue, Lan Jue waited leisurely to see who would be the opponent.

Sure enough, as Chu Xiang said, Lan Jue's reputation won by his bravery, in Shangdu who advocates "obscene words and erotic songs", has always been criticized by others. Many people believe that the ruler of the Western Tang Dynasty "has the courage of an ordinary man", and his mind is empty, and he is really a barbarian.In an era when this kind of information exchange is basically by mouth, and sending letters is completely by legs, this has become an excellent cover.

The person behind the design can calculate everything, but they fall on the "personal design" that is rumored.

It's just that Lan Jue was a little surprised - Qu Lingxin was the first to object.

The owner of the Xingxing Pavilion, the nominal victim of this incident is directly under the chief, Qu Lingxin turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, although Chief Baiwei is at fault, he is not the main reason. In this incident, Xingchen's instructions will still be resolved." The doubt points to Xitang, please consider it, Your Majesty."

Guided by the stars, Taoist people only need these four words to form a "testimony in court".

Lan Jue couldn't help sneering, what a star guides him, such an emperor and a man of lofty aspirations are no match for a man who counts the stars.

But, what reason does Zingxing Pavilion have to target Xitang?

……

When all this happened, Chu Xiang naturally didn't stay in the post house to recuperate. He went to the Spring River Pavilion as agreed.

This time, he was finally received by Bai Mo's maid.

The maids of the Oiran lady are equally stunning, and those teenage maids don't need to grow their bodies, but they can already see the beautiful outlines of the beautiful faces in the future.In comparison, Chu Hexing is really a little mud monkey. Although he is not ugly, he is definitely not worthy of the word "beauty".

That girl's victory was rooted in her bones, and Chu Xiang could tell at a glance that if that child accepted the training of the Special Forces Team, she would definitely be a Goddess of War at the level of his captain Shao Yun in the future.

Time is fate, life is not at the right time.

A jug of wine was placed on the table in front of Chu Xiang, and the maid said that the oiran was still bathing and changing, please wait a moment.

"Is there no tea?" Chu Xiang remembered that he had been broken after drinking, and he was determined not to touch alcohol again, and the injury on his waist was still aching, so drinking was purely for himself.

The maid replied softly and respectfully: "You are joking, how can anyone drink tea here?"

Chu Xiang lowered his head and glanced at the wine glass. He scanned all the places around where hidden weapons could be hidden. The oiran's room was very clean and there was nothing. As for the wine, Chu Xiang smelled it and thought helplessly. ——This era can have exquisite mechanisms and superb martial arts, but when it comes to chemical purification, a craft that requires some modern technology trees, it really can't be compared with the 28th century.

As a deep space voyage fleet, identifying poisons is also a skill. Although AI is assisted in actual combat, all the harshest conditions must be simulated during training, including in case the AI ​​fails, or loses contact with the fleet and wanders on an unknown planet, etc. , Even alien poisonous species have been identified, so in this era, Chu Xiang can tell what is in the wine basically by smelling it.

As I said earlier, colorless and odorless poisons are a problem in the 28th century, let alone ancient times.

He swung his wine glass, and said unhurriedly: "That's right, this place must be drunk to be good. Drunk is a dream, sober is really disappointing."

He handed the wine glass to the maid: "Drink it."

"Master, the slave's house cannot receive guests, otherwise, the lady will punish—"

"I let you drink it." Chu Xiang smiled, her arms steady as a rock, "Let her come to me."

The maid took a half step back: "You are making things difficult..."

"It's okay." Chu Xiang said, and then pretended to be surprised, "Oh, are you worried that you will fall down? No, I think, with your physical fitness, you can persist until you get out of my sight after drinking. Besides, you Have you never trained how to deal with being exposed, or are you a newcomer, use me to practice?"

The maid's complexion didn't change, she was still smiling sweetly, but in the blink of an eye, a hairpin protruded from her cuff, and the sharp end shone with a magnificent color—it seemed that she had been poisoned.

The sharp hairpin poked directly between Chu Xiang's eyebrows, and the maid moved so fast that there was nowhere to dodge.

However, the young gentleman held the wine glass, as if toasting the moon, sitting at the table without moving a muscle, the maid's hairpin rested in front of his forehead, shedding the gentle camouflage, the female killer's hand was as steady as a machine.

At this time, the beautifully dressed lady Hua Kui slowly walked out from the inner room, and the wine glass in Chu Xiang's hand turned around and handed it to Lady Bai Mo instead.

He ignored the maid, together with the murderous blade full of blood, still said with a smile: "Ms. Mo's hospitality is really eye-opening. Is it because of this that she is famous?"

"Ordinary guests really don't need it." Mrs. Mo looked at him for a while, took the wine glass, and handed it to the maid casually. The maid put away the sharp weapon, returned to her gentle and sweet appearance, and took away the medicined wine.

She went to the table and sat down, without the slightest attitude towards receiving customers, but brushed her hair casually, and said bluntly: "Who are you, your temptation intention is too obvious these days, but you are not caught by our line It was brought here by someone, but you are not from Tiewei, so since you have found it, you might as well speak up."

"I'm Chu Xiang, the assisted Xiang, the counselor of Lan Jue, the lord of the Western Tang Dynasty."

"The Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty?" Bai Mo raised his eyebrows, "I thought it was a cover, the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty suddenly appeared and rescued you that night... It turns out that there are people like you beside him, it seems that the The king is not as brave and foolhardy as the rumors say."

This is tantamount to admitting that she sent the assassin that night, and it was smoother than Chu Xiang expected.

"Let's talk about who to kill. If the price is right, anyone can."

This is not the attitude of dealing with human life. Although Chu Xiang has never been in contact with assassins in this world, he has seen assassins among interstellar refugees in Interstellar. The comrades who were sent out to try to fish all failed, because those people would stop if there was any trouble, and they would never trade with people they didn't know and had no referrals.

Chu Xiang noticed that in the whole room, there were countless sights in the dark, and the maids were kneeling dignifiedly by the door, with murderous sharpness hidden in their eyes.

—He wouldn't have walked out of this room alive, if he hadn't impressed the assassins.
