The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 567 Who Says You Need to Borrow a Knife to Kill? (4)
Chu Qifeng only looked back, didn't say anything, and opened the felt door first and entered the tent.

Chu Qiyan gave Li Lin a wink.

Li Lin understood, and hurriedly made a gesture to meet the man and stop him.

Chu Qiyan stepped forward.

"I have met the prince!" The man got off his horse and saluted with one knee.

"What's the matter?" Chu Qiyan asked quietly.

"The matter in Changzhou has been inquired clearly." The man replied: "Yesterday, King Kang led people out of the city to pick up grain and grass. When the king of the county rushed over, he was attacked by the killer who had ambushed there beforehand, and the troops were dispersed. It is said that the king of Kang County was forced into a nearby barren hill during the fierce fight and did not return all night. This batch of food and grass was rushed there later Lord Yanling brought it back with the help of Lord Yanling, and King Kang didn't show up again until dawn."

"Huh?" Chu Qiyan listened, the color in his originally calm eyes suddenly darkened, and then he looked back at the man from a distance.

The man knelt on the ground with one knee, and still replied in a tenacious manner: "Later, my subordinate specially took someone to the nearby forest to check it out. There are many bloodstains, although there is no corpse, but it is not difficult to see that there must have been a fierce fight, and the degree of tragedy is more than usual."

"So?" Chu Qiyan narrowed his eyes, and said with a cold smile, "You mean that Chu Qifeng had an adventure when he was trapped in the woods?"

"This subordinate doesn't dare to speak rashly." The man said, paused for a moment, carefully looked at his expression from the corner of his eye and said: "It's just that King Kang can escape safely under repeated blows, it depends on the matter." It sounds kind of weird."

The corners of Chu Qiyan's lips twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to wave him away.

"Your subordinate will leave!" When the person left, he looked back at the large tent in the distance and thought, "What do you think?"

These words were spoken to Li Lin.

Li Lin followed his gaze and looked over with a solemn expression. He only reminded him in a practical way: "But the King of Kang Jun has not mentioned a single word about his whereabouts last night since he came back."

If it wasn't for some shady things, why would he be here?

Needless to say, it is too clear, everyone knows it well.

"Heh——" Chu Qiyan laughed inexplicably, and looked at him slightly sideways, "Ask someone to investigate, there is no need to act radically, but sooner or later I will find out."

"Yes!" Li Lin agreed, turned around and was about to retreat, when he saw Jiang Liu riding a fast horse from the camp gate diagonally opposite.

Li Lin was suspicious, so he stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Liu came in a hurry. After getting off his horse, he went directly into the tent. After a while, the felt door was opened again, and it was Chu Xunyang who came out first.

Chu Qiyan's eyes moved slightly.

Chu Xunyang's movements were very fast. After he came out, he jumped on the horse and walked away with a loud shout.

Chu Qifeng did not follow in the tent, Jiang Liu chased after her and left with her.

Chu Qiyan frowned deeply, and glanced at Li Lin.

Li Lin nodded, turned and left in a hurry.

A manor ten miles outside the north city gate of Chuzhou was besieged by heavy soldiers and guarded tightly.

It was already dark when Chu Xunyang rushed over.

"See Princess!" The guard hurried forward to salute.

Chu Xunyang got off his horse and threw the whip to Jiang Liu who was following behind. He walked in and asked, "Where's the person?"

"It's been stopped, it's inside." The man replied, opened the door himself and ushered her into the yard.

This Zhuangzi is not very big, that is to say, it has two yards, but the garden is a bit bigger than ordinary mansions in the city.

Under the guidance of the guard, Chu Xunyang walked quickly in, passed through several arches, and entered the innermost courtyard.

The courtyard was also heavily guarded inside and out, and the surrounding area was impenetrable.

She stepped in, and someone opened the door immediately.

There was only one lamp lit in the room, and the light was very dim against the not-so-large room.

On the big bed facing the door, a haggard old man sat motionless with his back against the bed post. His wrinkled face was also very gloomy, only his eyes were clear, and there was even a trace of coldness.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head to look.

Obviously Chu Xunyang's appearance surprised him a bit, but after all, he was also the prince of the dynasty who had gone through thousands of sails, and he soon returned to normal.

"Why are you? Where are those two boys?" Chu Xin's voice was cold and hard.

Chu Xunyang stepped into the door, walked directly to his bed, glanced at him expressionlessly, then took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and threw it into his arms, without any nonsense, he said directly: "A play Do the whole set, I don't have the so-called venomous things in my hand, and the effect of this bottle of medicine is similar, don't wait for me to do it, swallow it yourself!"

Seeing the small porcelain vase rolling down on the quilt, Chu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted with an unbelievable hoarse laugh.

Chu Xunyang ignored him, and just looked at him with a condensed expression.

Chu Xin laughed to himself for a while and then stopped, staring at her with a gloomy expression, and said in a steady tone: "Xunyang, don't be wild, even if this king is in your hands now, what qualifications do you have to deal with me?" ?”

"Are you saying that I have internal connections with foreign enemies? Are you saying that I intend to murder the emperor's heir? Or are you saying that I have pretended to be a voodoo to disturb the hearts of the people?" He closed his eyes a little tired when he said it himself, shook his head and sneered: "These first two are casual Taking out one item is a serious crime enough to behead one’s head, unfortunately—you have no evidence. As for the latter item—who said that the king should be sick and die immediately after being infected by a Gu? Even if you have a thousand reasons, Without solid evidence in hand, what can you do to me?"

"Who said that you need evidence to kill someone? And who said that if I want you to die, I have to use His Majesty's hand to do it?" Chu Xunyang listened to him quietly, still expressionless and cold Looking at him intently, "Even if you want to die now, I will not agree. Your life is not that valuable, and I don't care about it. Since you have already found an ending for yourself, I will only fulfill you today. You can swallow this medicine. Don't worry, no one will die, and I will not expose what you did here. Not only that, I will send you back to the capital safely. At that time, you will still be noble and incomparable Prince Rui, even if you die, I will give you a good reputation of being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and you will not suffer no matter what."

Seeing her swearing, Chu Xin finally couldn't hold back his airs anymore, and began to look her up and down with a defensive and scrutinizing look.
