Hutao uses me to judge my performance

Otherwise, she would not be able to bear the knowledge that her guest was the murderer of Emperor Yan Wang.

Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of an excellent reason.

"Because your reaction is too calm! Yes, that's why!"

Sora & Paimon: "..."

Can this actually be used as a reason for being so certain?

Couldn't it be that Mr. Zhongli is used to seeing big things happen, like mountains collapsing in front of him, without changing his expression, and his emotions are relatively restrained?

Zhongli suddenly laughed.

Although I have always felt that Jiang Bai's brain circuit is different from ordinary people, he can always give the correct answer due to various strange intermediate conditions.

He looked at the dragon corpse in front of him and said in a faint tone:

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are natural laws. Human beings will die after a certain lifespan, and the same goes for immortals. It has been more than 6000 years since the birth of the Rock King. Even the indestructible rock should have weathered under the erosion of such a long time... "

"You mean, Emperor Yanwang died of natural causes?" Paimeng felt that Zhongli's words made sense.

Gods are also mortal, and some of the Seven Gods have been through two or three generations.

Zhongli did not deny Paimon's statement, "It's just my personal guess..."

"But there are still a lot of things that don't make sense." Jiang Bai frowned, not quite believing what he said.

"It's impossible for Emperor Yan Wang not to know that his life is approaching. In this case, he will definitely convey this matter at last year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony to make Qixing mentally prepared.

"But judging from the reactions of Qixing and Qianyan Army, He did not make such arrangements. This is not like what a wise emperor or ruler would do!

"Unless he died too suddenly! There was no time to make these arrangements!"

Jiang Bai turned into a famous detective and reasoned in this direction, and more unreasonable things emerged.

Zhongli frowned pretendingly, "This is what's strange about me..."

Kong and Paimon looked at Jiang Bai and then at Zhongli.

They don't understand anything and can only be a bunch of people.

Emotionally, they are more willing to believe what their old friend Jiang Bai said, but rationally they feel that Jiang Bai's guess that Zhongli did it is untenable.

First of all, why did Mr. Zhongli, who I just met today, assassinate Yan Shen?

The second thing is, how powerful do you have to be to assassinate a god?

Even after Wendy had her heart ripped out, she recovered a little and looked like a normal person.

How much power is needed to truly kill a god?

Is this Mr. Zhongli so powerful?

Why is Jiang Bai so sure that he did it?

Kong looked at the people around him. The Qianyan Army around him was questioning the crowd, because there were a lot of people coming to watch the ceremony, and it was not their turn yet.

To be honest, if he hadn't followed Jiang Bai and the others here today, he would have definitely chosen to run away in the face of this situation.

For him, the gods do not represent friends, on the contrary, they may be his enemies.

Although his identity is a bit special, he only arrived at Liyue Port yesterday, and with Jiang Bai and others testifying for them, Liyue's Qianyan Junjun should not suspect them.

In this way, there is no need to worry about being caught.

Jiang Bai was angered by Zhongli's reaction.

Don't think he can't see that he's just faking it, damn it!

If only he could produce evidence to expose this pretentious guy!

But Emperor Yanwang's death is already an established fact, and there is no point in him continuing to talk about it.

After all, Zhongli is still a member of their Heavenly Life Hall no matter what. If he is caught, their Heavenly Life Hall will definitely be implicated.

He could only hold back this guess and investigate quietly later.

He looked at Hu Tao. Faced with the attack from Hu Tao, Dadalia had to take out his weapon, and the two of them fought on the Yujing Platform.

Under the constant evaporation caused by the collision of water elements and fire elements, everyone could no longer see clearly what it looked like inside.

Jiang Bai was really worried that Hutao wouldn't be able to defeat Dadalia, but in this situation, it was unlikely that Dadalia would take action with all his strength.

Hu Tao was in a state of extreme mood swings at the moment, so it would be a good idea to let her vent her emotions.

Thinking like this, Jiang Bai didn't do anything, he just put a shield on Hu Tao to prevent her from getting hurt.

In the end, Ningguang took action and temporarily separated the two.

"Hall Master Hu, don't let your anger go to your head. Seven Stars will investigate this matter. Seven Stars will never let any murderer go!"

The anger was vented, and Hu Tao sobered up a lot.

She glanced at Dadalia, whose clothes were a little bald, and put away the staff of the protector in the helpless eyes of the other party.

"How is the hall master? Are you injured?"

Jiang Bai ran over and grabbed her shoulders and looked up and down. After making sure that she was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you talking about?" Hutao had noticed them talking all the time and asked at this time.

Several people also came over, and Paimeng said: "We are speculating on the cause of death of Emperor Yanwang. Mr. Zhongli said that Emperor Yanwang may have died of natural causes at the end of his life span."

"Jiang Bai said that this is unlikely, because if Emperor Yan Wang is about to die, he will definitely know about it. It is impossible not to leave any information..."

After saying that, Paimon spread his hands in a helpless manner.

Hu Tao held her chin, "What the guest said is very possible, but what Jiang Bai said is not unreasonable. We still have to determine the cause of the emperor's death first."

"How can we determine this?" Paimon was confused.

Hu Tao thought for a while, "Let's go find the immortal. It is estimated that only the immortal can tell from the emperor's body how the emperor died."

She had just checked that there were no wounds on the emperor's body, but this did not rule out the possibility of being killed.

"How do I find this?" Pamon asked again.

She knew that there were immortals in Liyue, but how to find them was a problem.

Chapter 266 Could it be that Yan Shen is not dead at all?

"If you are looking for an immortal, I might be able to help." Dadalia, who heard their conversation, suddenly spoke.

Hutao's Humo Staff appeared in her hand again, and she looked at Dadalia coldly, "What do you want to say?"

Dadalia raised his hands to show that he was harmless.

"Don't be so hostile to me. Although the reputation of Fools is a bit bad, and [Ms.] also left a very bad impression on you, this really has nothing to do with me."

Paimon crossed his arms across his chest in displeasure, "It's not just a bad impression!"

Jiang Bai's eyes narrowed and he looked at him.

He couldn't tell whether Dadalia's shock at that time was true, but if he wanted to know what they wanted to do, it would be better to listen to what he had to say.

Dadalia took out a few taboo-free talismans and said, "These are the tokens I originally planned to use to meet the Rock King, but they are no longer of use."

"This is... a forbidden weapon." Zhongli recognized what it was at the first sight.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongli."

"What is the Barrier of All Taboos?" Paimon scratched his head.

"This is a token given by Emperor Yanwang. With this token, you can go to the mountain to meet the immortals." Zhongli explained.

He looked at Dadalia with a somewhat surprised look on his face, "It's just that it's been too long and this thing should have been lost. I didn't expect you to have so many in your hands."

"I also got it by accident." Dadalia did not explain how he got this thing.

"Can I go find the Immortal with this thing?" Pamon took one curiously.

"Yes." Dadalia nodded, "Liyue was established by the God of Rock and the Immortal with force. Now that the God of Rock is killed, this important matter must be known to the Immortal."

He looked at Sora and Paimon, the two adventurers from the Adventurers Association, and issued a commission, "I wonder if you can go to the mountains to find the immortals of Liyue and tell them the whole story?"

"Why don't you go by yourself?" Sora asked.

Dadalia shrugged helplessly, "You can tell from Hall Master Hu's attitude towards me. If I go, even with this non-taboo pot, the immortals will definitely take action against me."

Hu Tao snorted, but didn't say much.

Dadalia continued to add, "Furthermore, you do not belong to any of us, and your stance is naturally neutral. The words you bring to the immortals are also more credible."

After speaking, he paused and looked at Ning Guang, who was frowning and thinking not far away, and narrowed his eyes, not hiding his guess at all.

"Seven Stars sent the Qianyan Army to investigate the crowd, with the intention of finding the assassin among the crowd. This is obviously unreasonable."

"Can a mortal assassin assassinate the God of War who swept thousands of armies? He has never abandoned his divine power... This kind of rough response makes people wonder if she is trying to cover up something..."

What Dadalia said may have been thought of by Jiang Bai a long time ago, but he felt that Dadalia was trying to deflect the conflict.

After all, they doubted him. He said that she doubted Qixing. This was a sign of pushing the blame.

"Okay, I'll accept this commission." Sora took the No-No-Taboos Book, but he was in no hurry to set off.

After the matter was finished, Dadalia left consciously, as if that was really his purpose.

Looking at the guy's back, Jiang Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "Hall Master, how credible do you think that guy's words are?"

"Half and half."

It is true that Dadalia asked the traveler to find the immortal, but his purpose is probably to see Liyue in chaos.

It has been thousands of years since the immortals relinquished their power and retired to the mountains and forests. Now that the emperor was killed, how could the immortals ignore it?

At that time, the immortals will definitely start a battle with Qixing for the right to rule. Most of the immortals have bad tempers and are extremely powerful. If you are not careful, they will cause turmoil in Liyue.

As for whether his handwriting was involved in the emperor's murder, we will only know after investigation.

"Then do you think the culprit responsible for the emperor's murder might be Qixing?" Jiang Bai asked again.

Hu Tao slowly shook his head, "It's impossible. That guy is right in what he said. Mortals don't have the ability to assassinate the God of War who swept thousands of armies, at least not the Seven Stars."

As for why Ningguang wanted to seal off the whole place, of course it was to identify the suspicious persons and then interrogate them properly.

As expected, many people in the venue were taken away by the Qianyan Army, including the young master Dadalia.

The Millennium Army finally interrogated them.

Qian Yanjun, who came to question them, said politely, "It's routine, please cooperate."

He immediately set his sights on Sora and Paimon, who were strangers.

"Who are you? Where did you come from?"

"My name is Paimeng, and he is Kong. We are travelers who came all the way from Mondstadt. We just arrived in Liyue yesterday. I heard that today is Liyue's annual invitation ceremony for immortals, so I came here with Jiang Bai and the others to watch it. look……"

Paimon was a little nervous about this kind of cross-examination, but she was still quite smart and did not reveal the true purpose of the two people.

Qian Yanjun, who came to interrogate, nodded. Since he only arrived in Liyue yesterday, there is no prerequisite for harming the emperor. In addition, it is common for people to come to watch the ceremony out of curiosity, so suspicion can be eliminated.

However, before ruling it out, he still checked with several Liyue people in Hutao.

"That's true. I can vouch for them." Jiang Bai said.

Hu Tao also nodded, saying that he could also testify.

After interrogating Kong and Paimeng, Qian Yanjun began to interrogate Jiang Bai and the other three. Although he had seen these three people when they were on duty at Liyue Port, he still had to ask what should be asked.

"When did you three come to Yujingtai? And why did you come?"

"I must have arrived at around 10 o'clock in the morning. I heard that the Fools were coveting the power of the Wind God in Mondstadt. I was a little worried that they would covet the power of the emperor. I came here to watch and beware of them causing trouble." Hutao did not hide his secret. true purpose.

The Qianyan Army soldier nodded, which could also explain why she started fighting with the Fool Executives.

Ningguang's secretary Baiwen stepped forward and said, "Several of you, Miss Ningguang invites you."

Ningguang invited not only Jiang Bai and the other three, but also Kong and Paimon.

A group of five people followed the secretary and left. Before leaving, Jiang Bai took a look at the dragon corpse.

Qianyanjun was covering the dragon corpse with white cloth and preparing to move it, but he didn't know where to move it.

Zhongli looked at all this and said nothing.

In the room, Ning Guang looked at the large pile of information fed back by Qian Yanjun, frowning in thought.
