Chapter 272

"He fell into his trick again!" Xia Jin got the news that Feng Chenyi arranged for Feng Wei to lurk in the hall tonight, intending to catch all the ministers who participated in the celebration in the hall, as well as Qi Tianyu, Xia Jin, and Xia An. It will greatly weaken the strength of Daxia and Daqi, and it will be easy to attack these two countries while taking advantage of the civil strife in the future!So Xia Jin arranged the most guards in the banquet hall tonight, and the rest were arranged in the prison to watch Feng Chenyi.As for Lanqin, he expected that she was just a weak woman who knew nothing, and she should be the most harmless, so he only arranged two hidden guards to watch in secret, but they haven't come out yet, so it's probably a bad luck not enough.

Sure enough, the guard's exclamation in the next second confirmed his guess.

"Ah... quick, quick, there is a man in this tree!"

Then a few torches were put under the branches. Under the dim light of the fire, I saw a man in black hanging upside down on a willow tree branch as thick as his waist. A few drops of blood dripped from his head from time to time, which was exactly the same. Because of this, the guards searching below noticed the strangeness above the head!
Xia Jin strode under the tree and saw that it was one of the hidden guards he sent out. The guards next to him quickly climbed up and put the man down.

"The wound was on the neck, and he was killed with a single blow!" An experienced general stood up next to him and reported his observations to Xia Jin.

Xia Jin didn't answer his words, but instead said: "There is another person lurking in this yard, you should look for it again!"

The guards lit torches and went looking for the big tree in the yard. It didn't take long before they found another person, who died in exactly the same way as the first one.The strange thing is that he looks exactly the same as the first dead person, so they are a pair of twins.The cooperation of these two people should be quite tacit, and they were killed so silently, it can be seen from this that the people sent by Feng Chenyi are definitely not ordinary people!
Xia Jin took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the desire to kill, but the bad news was not over yet.

Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who had observed the scene of the fire, walked up to him and bowed: "Your Majesty Qizuo, according to the intensity of the fire at the scene, the fire came from the wedding room! Because the fire in the wedding room is the most serious. , Everything has been burned to ashes, and there are still many ruins left in the houses around the palace!" After speaking, he carefully glanced at Xia Jin's expression, Xia Jin and Qi Tianyu really changed their expressions.

"Go ahead!" Xia Jin said coldly with his hands behind his back.

"Yes! None of the eight bridesmaids and maids who accompanied the princess escaped. This only shows that there are two types of fires. The first is that people outside set fire to the princess and others inside; It was set on fire by the people in the room, either... the princess, or one or several of these court ladies and bridesmaids! But... the second possibility is more likely, because if the person who came sneaked from outside Go in and set fire to the Hall of Yihe, so it is impossible for the nine people in the room not to call for help, so that the guards outside will be alarmed, and they will not be discovered by the palace people outside until the fire is completely out of control!"

As soon as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple finished speaking, the faces of all the people present were full of excitement.This bride and the seven court ladies have been carefully selected, and there is absolutely no problem with their identities, so the biggest possibility is Lan Qin.

Xia Jin's fingers creaked, and he walked out without even saying hello.Seeing this, Qi Tianyu and Xia An had already guessed who he would go to, and at the same time, the two of them would follow quickly.

Xia Jin with a bad complexion rushed to the prison with a large group of people. Before he got close, he felt that something was extremely wrong. The prison, which was supposed to be brightly lit, was now very quiet. Not a ray of light came through.

Xia Jin's footsteps quickened suddenly, and the people behind him also quickly followed.

When we got to the gate of the prison, we saw a torch shining on it, and the ground was covered with corpses in disorder, and many people still had blood oozing from their bodies. It was obvious that they had just died not long ago, and even the dozens of people sent by Xia Jin None of the hidden guards was spared either. Obviously, the sound of firefighting over there just now covered the sound of fighting in the dungeon.

"Quick, go in and have a look!" Xia Jin gasped and shouted loudly.

After a while, several guards came out from inside: "Qizou Emperor, inside... there is no living person inside!"

It's not Xia Jin's concern whether people live or not, he took two steps forward, grabbed the man's collar and asked loudly: "Where's Feng Chenyi?"

The guard was frightened by this, and he stuttered even more: "He...he's not here!"

Xia Jin was so angry that he staggered back a few steps, leaned against the big tree behind him, looked helplessly at the stars in the sky, and cried out loudly, "Could it be that this is Da Xia, the sky is going to kill me!"

Seeing his reaction, Qi Tianyu didn't say harsh words, but the anger in his heart was still hard to suppress, he clenched his fists and said in a rebellious manner: "It's night now, the city gate is closed, Feng Chenyi must not be so fast, Now quickly send people to guard the city gate, and when the day comes, we will search from house to house in the city, even if we dig three feet, we must dig him out!"

"Yes, it's not too late!" Xia Jin suddenly regained strength, struggled to stand up, and said loudly, "Mund, go down quickly and pass on my word of mouth, and send [-] imperial forest troops to guard the city gate. From now on, only the north The door is open to the outside world, but it has to go through strict inspections, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let Feng Chenyi go, otherwise it is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"

"Yes!" Mond stepped back quickly.

Xia An, who couldn't bear it, still didn't abandon Xia Jin, walked over, helped him up, and suggested softly: "Father, don't work too hard, you'd better go back and rest!"

"Yeah!" Xia Jin nodded, grabbed Xia An's hands with his palms, and said earnestly, "Huanger, you see, it's not that I don't like Feng Chenyi, but that he is too He was too vicious, and your sister's death is absolutely inseparable from him. If it wasn't for him, would your sister have died? He even sent people to sneak into the Hall of Yihe, but he let your sister die in the sea of ​​flames. He is so cruel! "

Xia An's eyes emitted a light called hatred, and he nodded emphatically: "Father, don't worry, I will not let anyone who kills my sister, I will not let anyone go! "Not only Feng Chenyi, but also Qi Tianyu, you and me!
Xia Jin nodded in relief: "Okay, let Eunuch Gu help me go back, you should go and supervise them, don't let Feng Chenyi go!"
