Chapter 69
As the third prince said, he looked at Duan Yi seriously, "If the killer is sent by Mr. Gu, why does Third Miss Duan bother to save me?"

Duan Yi nodded, "That's right! I'm a weak girl, if the killer hadn't heard the whistle to retreat, I'm afraid I'd be dead!"

Eunuch Xi, whose palms are still numb: Weak girls, who are you talking about?

After the catastrophe, Duan Shu felt that her legs were weak: Weak women, who rolled up their sleeves and rushed, weak women who couldn't be pulled?
Seeing what the third prince said, Eunuch Xi didn't want to say any more. He gave Duan Yi a hard look, and hurriedly asked someone to bring the soft sedan over, helped the third prince up, and then turned towards Duan Wenchang. I made a salute.

"Duan Xiang, this matter must be investigated to the end. But our Highness is injured, so we will take a step first."

As he spoke, without waiting for Duan Wenchang's consent, he led a group of people out of the Guan mansion.

With his start, in a short while, more than half of the people standing in the garden were gone, almost only the Duan family and the Guan family were left.

Mr. Guan wiped his tears with one hand and covered his chest with the other, "I still see the truth clearly. Look at those people, what are they talking about? I am an old carpenter, I just met your Highnesses for the first time, why do you want to harm them?"

"If I can afford to support such a powerful killer, will I be held in a coffin at home by the praying doctor?"

As he spoke, his body swayed a few times, and Guan Ling and Guan Le, who were at the side, quickly grabbed his arm with one hand and helped him out.

Duan Yi looked at it coldly, thinking that this was the most sincere scene that Mr. Guan had performed for so long.

The feeling of relief made her seem to be able to hear the voice of the old man "finally the show is over".

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, as if the tide had receded, as if nothing had happened except for the mess.

Duan Wenchang looked at the well-handled crowd, heaved a long sigh of relief, and then smiled wryly, "It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, if your grandma finds out about this news, she might faint from fright. "

"Let's talk about it later, Xian'er, go back and find some good herbs, and send them to His Highness Third and His Highness Fifth."
As Duan Wenchang said, he glanced at Duan Jing again, "Jing'er, you have a steady temper. Together with your eldest sister, we will prepare a generous gift for each of the guests invited today."

"After all, it was at the small banquet hosted by our Duan family that such a big event happened, as it should be."

Duan Jing was called by name for the first time, and she raised her head in horror. She didn't dare to speak, but nodded heavily.

Duan Wenchang said, and added, "Especially Wang Zhan, he was seriously injured, so he should be more polite."

As he said, he patted Duan Sixian's hand beside him, "You father, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and help Ming'er."

Everyone was still in shock, no one said anything more, they quickly got into the carriage and drove away.

After all the carriages moved, Duan Yi just opened the curtain of his own carriage and jumped up.

Sure enough, Cui Zigeng had been sitting inside waiting for a long time.

Duan Yi sat down, and Zhiqiao and Zhilu in front immediately started the car.

"That man is about the same size as you, the one who killed my uncle. You also saw the long sword in his hand. It's very special. It's the first time I've seen a long sword that can be divided into two swords. Can you tell me?" Know a thing or two?"

Cui Zigeng shook his head, "I've never seen it before. There are very few people who use double swords, and his martial arts methods are also very strange. I stood on the beam and observed carefully. It is not the martial arts of those schools we are familiar with. "

Duan Yi was not disappointed. If she could find clues all at once, she and Gu Congrong would not have chased him for six years and found nothing.

"Although there is blood on the sword, there is a faint scent of incense on his body. I can't tell what it is, but I can smell money. This incense is not cheap."

Cui Zi is more serious.

He was already expressionless, and he really didn't know how to express his speechlessness by being expressionless.

"Should I praise you? People are open to money, but you are kind, and open to money."

Duan Yi rolled her eyes at him, "I'm not joking with you. When my uncle died six years ago, he said that if he hadn't been poisoned, he would not have been killed. So I always thought that these killers were not good at martial arts. That's why I used those dirty methods just now."

"I found out today. I was wrong. His martial arts are very high. If I insist on killing him, I must have the determination to kill him. I will kill eight hundred and lose one thousand."

Cui Zi raised his eyebrows even more, "Simply put, his martial arts are above yours, and he is on par with mine."

Duan Yi felt like her teeth were itching, why couldn't she beat this guy?It's not that her talent is not good, but that she learned too late and the time is too short.She has only studied for six years.

"Uncle, why do you have the nerve to compare yourself with the little girl?" Duan Yi said angrily, "He is not young, he is not of our generation."

As Duan Yi said, she quickly recalled the scene of the battle at that time. She was afraid that if it was a little longer, she would forget it.

"This attack was obviously mainly aimed at the third prince and the fifth prince, and most of the dead were their bodyguards. Except for Wang Zhan, the son of the Minister of War, he was obviously closer to the fifth prince, so he should have been affected by Chi Yu. "

"The third prince was frightened, and the blood dripped into the secret room through the gap in the ground. The killer is not an idiot, it is impossible not to see it, the blood dripped to the middle, and then disappeared."

"At that time, the two of us were still on the beam and didn't come down. I can feel that he hesitated at the door..."

Cui Zi frowned even more, "If the mission he receives is to kill the prince, there is no reason to hesitate. Could it be that he hesitated because he saw you, his niece, and he knows you?"

Duan Yi shook her head, ignoring Cui Zi's harsher word "niece".

"It shouldn't be possible. If he hesitated because he knew me, he wouldn't have sent killers to intercept me after I escaped with Gu Mingrui back then. If it wasn't for my good luck and successful counter-killing, I would have become a A pile of dry bones."

"In that room, apart from me and the third prince, there are you and my brothers and sisters from the Duan family."

Cui Zi paused for a moment, and said suddenly, "The man in black must be more than the one we saw, because he just left after hearing his companion's whistle. People can't disappear out of thin air, and it's impossible to fly away suddenly." land."

"It's extremely possible that he was hiding among the group of people in the Garden of Ingenuity at that time. Why didn't you ask someone to block the garden. In the blink of an eye, there might be evidence on him that was too late to destroy."

Duan Yi sighed lightly, and said sadly, "Why didn't you block it?"

Cui Zi understood even more instantly, and patted Duan Yi's shoulder melancholy.

He was beautiful in the past, Duan Yi looked at the beautiful scenery, in fact, he was just a lonely family, with three or two kittens under his command, what can he do?This time they did not expect the men in black to make a surprise attack, so they did not let the Jiannan army prepare.

Guan Yuan is so big that people can hide everywhere, and the opportunity is there in a flash, but as long as you wait for a stick of incense, a master like the man in black will have already disappeared without a trace.

The scene was so chaotic, people from various prefectures came in and out, and when the Jiannan Army came, the day lily was cold.Furthermore, the two princes were injured, even if Gu Congrong was here, there was no reason to prevent them from going back to heal their injuries.

As Cui Zigeng spoke, the subject changed, "Why don't you jump out and have a look, the man in black is so good at martial arts, but how come he didn't even kill the two princes who are powerless?"
