Eternal Sword

Chapter 448 Eunuch Wei

There has always been discord between the two.

Whether in the court or at the banquet, Wang Xiaobo had bluntly rebuked Xia Daozi, making him extremely embarrassed.

He even had murderous intentions towards Wang Xiaobo and wanted to ambush and kill him, but later he realized the danger and let the plan go.

No matter how much resentment Xia Dao had towards Wang Xiaobo, he did not dare to detain him as a traitor.

He was not only the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army, but also a powerful master.

Within the short distance of this room, everyone is our enemy!

"What does General Wang mean?"

Xia Daozi took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

Wang Xiaobo did not answer. He walked around the room first, checked the wounds of several bodies, and said calmly: "The murderer is a knife expert, his skills are higher than Chen Tang's, and his knife skills are extremely fast, which is obviously different from Chen Tang's martial arts."

Xia Dao had regained his sanity at this moment and subconsciously looked at the several commanders of the imperial guards.

"General Wang is right."

Several people nodded quickly.

Xia Daozi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Can you tell from these wounds what kind of martial arts this person has? How many people in Daxia can use such a sharp knife?"

A commander of the imperial guards hesitated and said, "Reporting to the Prime Minister, the murderer may not be from Daxia."

"What do you mean?"

Xia Daozi was a little confused.

The commander of the imperial guards said, "Looking at the wound, it feels more like the wound was caused by a master from the Moonlight Clan in Tianhuzhou, East China Sea."

"good."

Another commander of the Imperial Guards also said: "The Moonlight Clan is good at an extremely fast sword technique called the Ten Styles of Moonlight."

"Someone from the Yue Ye Clan of Tian Huzhou?"

Xia Daozi looked shocked and doubtful.

Xia Yuanxian knows the Ten Styles of Moonlight Sword Technique, which was taught to him by a mysterious person.

Xia Yuanxian remained silent about the man's identity and only said that he was a friend of his master.

Could what happened tonight be related to this person?

Xia Daozi asked a few more questions, but the commanders of the imperial guards didn't say anything.

Xia Daozi turned to look at Wang Xiaobo and asked, "What else did General Wang see?"

"Besides the knife expert, there is another person here."

Wang Xiaobo said, "This Liu Mengzhen died at the hands of this man. The poison that Xia Yuanxian and the other two were poisoned with, if I am not mistaken, should be the Su-breaking Poison."

"What is the Suanxi Su?"

Xia Daozi frowned, it sounded like pastries.

When the commanders of the imperial guards heard these three words, their faces changed and they looked fearful.

One of them explained, "The Breath-Breathing Paste is a secret medicine of the Dongyi people. It is made from deep-sea algae from the East China Sea. It is colorless and tasteless, and extremely difficult to detect. After taking it, your internal energy will not be able to circulate, and your whole body will become weak and powerless, making it difficult for you to walk."

"Ever since the Dongyi tribe fled overseas, this secret medicine has disappeared from the land of Shenzhou. I didn't expect it to appear in Daxia again."

Xia Daozi became more and more confused by what they said, and his mind was in a mess.

They are the Yueye tribe and the Dongyi tribe, both of whom are far away overseas. Why did they come all the way to the capital of Daxia to kill my son Yuan Xian?
"Capture all the people in Qingyu Tower and torture them severely."

Xia Daozi said in a deep voice: "Seal off the capital, search every house, and investigate all suspicious persons!"

"The capital has been sealed off, and no one is allowed to leave."

Several commanders of the imperial guards arrived here and immediately blocked the capital.

Xia Daozi turned around and left, preparing to go into the palace to ask Xia Yuanxian's master to see if he had any clues.

This master thinks highly of Yuan Xian. If he hears about this, he will never let it go!
Xia Daozi had just walked to the door when he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, looked at Wang Xiaobo who was not far away, and asked, "General Wang, there is something I don't understand."

"When you just said that Chen Tang was not the murderer, you were still outside and had never been here. You had never seen the wounds on the bodies. How could you be sure that the murderer was not Chen Tang?"

Wang Xiaobo said calmly, "Because Chen Tang is in Cangshan tonight, not in the capital." "What do you mean?"

Xia Daozi didn't quite understand.

At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside, panting and saying, "Something big has happened. The Xuantian Sect has a secret base, a magic altar, in Cangshan Mountain, where a Xuantian Army is stationed. It was taken down by Chen Tang with just one sword!"

"what!"

Except for Wang Xiaobo, everyone else was shocked.

"Tell me clearly, what's going on?"

"How many people are there in this Xuantian Army?"

Several commanders of the imperial guards asked hurriedly.

The guard said with lingering fear: "This Xuantian Army has more than 3,000 people. It is said that the chief priest of this altar went to trouble Chen Tang first, but was killed by Chen Tang. After forcing him to reveal the whereabouts of this place, he went up the mountain to kill them."

"It is said that there are corpses everywhere on Cangshan Mountain, with countless casualties!"

Everyone was stunned and shocked.

How can it be?

A young man under twenty years old, with just a sword, can kill through an army of Xuantian soldiers?

Xia Daozi frowned and said, "Maybe someone with a lot of ulterior motives heard it from someone else and spread it. How is that possible?"

"Mr. Xiangguo, it is absolutely true."

The man quickly explained, "The tragic scene on Cangshan Mountain was witnessed by more than one person, including the Northern Expedition Army, people from Langya Pavilion, Plum Blossom Sword Sect, and many other people from the martial arts world."

"I just came back from Cangshan, and what this man said is true."

After saying this, Wang Xiaobo turned and left.

No one would doubt what Wang Xiaobo said.

It was not until this time that everyone understood why Wang Xiaobo was so sure that the murderer could not be Chen Tang.

Chen Tang fought a fierce battle with a Xuantian army on Cangshan Mountain. Even if he was still alive, he must be covered in wounds and exhausted. How could he possibly run to the capital to commit murder?

Xia Daozi stopped for a moment, then left and headed towards the palace.

He didn't care about the Battle of Cangshan.

He just wanted to know who killed Yuan Xian.

How to avenge Xia Yuanxian!

Maybe the person in the palace can give him some clues and hints.

After arriving at the palace, Xia Dao went straight to the harem.

Not only was he the prime minister, he was also a member of the Great Xia royal family and the uncle of the current emperor. When the palace guards and maids saw him, no one dared to stop them.

In fact, Xia Daozi didn’t know who Xia Yuanxian’s master was.

He asked Xia Yuanxian, but Xia Yuanxian was very secretive and refused to say more.

Xia Daozi had conducted a secret investigation.

When he was a child, Xia Yuanxian would enter the harem every time he practiced.

In other words, this person should be in the harem.

He had asked several masters in the imperial guards and learned that the person with the strongest cultivation in the harem should be the old eunuch Wei who served the Empress Dowager.

This Eunuch Wei is a very secretive person and seldom takes action, but according to Xia Daozi's speculation, this person is most likely a powerful master and also Yuan Xian's master!
At this moment, the sky was already bright.

Xia Daozi went straight to the palace of the Empress Dowager. Even if he wanted to ask the eunuch Wei, he had to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager first and pay his respects to the old queen.

This old empress dowager came from the Yu family, one of the four major clans of Daxia. She was the mother of Emperor Cheng of Daxia III and had the longest seniority among the royal relatives.

Daxia has continued to this day and is already in its tenth generation.

The emperors during this period either died young or died of illness before long in office, and the political situation was turbulent. Fortunately, Yu assisted and took charge of the overall situation.
