Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 190 Whose Son is King Huai?

Seeing the foam of blood flying out of the trap, Xu Zhiqiong was sure that the assassin must die.

After a while, the body will be fished up, as long as there is only one head left, the identity can be determined.

It doesn't matter even if there is no head left, it's enough to tear off the sin karma, no matter what level of cultivation you are, as long as you tear off the sin karma, you have to obey my orders...

and many more!

This guy seems to be only one inch and three inches of crime, can you take it off?
Moreover, he has a third-grade cultivation base. It stands to reason that I shouldn't be able to see his crimes. Why can I still see a one-inch three?

Never thought about this question before...

While contemplating, there was suddenly no movement in the trap.

There are only two ways to stop the trap, one is that the trap is broken, and the other is that the assassin is dead.

Zhong Shen's trap must not be so easy to break, it should be that the assassin is dead.

Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward, but saw that the flesh and blood in the trap was sticky, and there was no shape to be seen. There was a place where there should be a human head, and a three-inch horn was on top of the head.

Xu Zhiqiong leaned down, reached into the trap, and touched the assassin's horns.

The prince shouted: "Zhiqiong, be careful!"

Xu Zhiqiong withdrew his hand and said, "Stand back, everyone back!"

The horns are wrong.

Not this feel.

Sin karma is false.

I really didn't expect that criminal karma can be faked!
Where did the real crime go?

The real crime has not yet surfaced.

The body dies and the dao disappears. If the assassin is really dead, the crime should be able to surface.

But the absence of criminal karma proves that the assassin is not dead!
Xu Zhiqiong shouted at the prince: "Your Highness, step on the mechanism again!"

The prince stepped on it quickly.

According to what Zhong Shen said, if the trap fails, step on it again, and it will recover, a total of twenty times.

But the prince almost stepped on the mechanism, and the trap has not been restored.

This trap is completely broken!
Xu Zhiqiong was still prepared. To deal with a third-rank assassin, he not only found a helper.

He walked to the magic circle prepared in advance and started to contact Tai Bu.

Tai Bu responded: "It's too early to take action now, I can cut off his escape route, but I'm afraid I can't kill him."

That being said, Tai Bu still made a move.

Even if you can't kill him, you still have to scare him, otherwise the prince will be in danger!
A ball of flames fell from the sky, fell into the trap, and Tai Bu began to cast spells.

After Lie Lie Yan (raging flames), there was another lightning strike. The imperial palace had many restrictions on Yin Yang, and there were not many things Tai Bu could do.

Not only were there not many, but they were basically ineffective. When the flames were extinguished, the thunder stopped, and the assassin stood up from the trap.

Tai Bu sighed: "Under the same rank, Confucianism overcomes Yin and Yang."

Confucianism's ability to restrain yin and yang, in addition to the powerful defensive power of arrogance and righteousness, it also comes from the Confucian eight-level skill, innocent!
The core of the skill is to get rid of the interference of evil thoughts and stick to the way of sages. To put it bluntly, it is to shield external interference and improve self-control ability.

Once the innocence skill is activated, the illusion skills such as phantom sounds and phantoms in Yin Yang will be invalid, and most of the magic circles that interfere with the mind will be severely weakened.

The higher the level of the Confucian cultivator, the stronger the ability of innocence skills, and the stronger the restraint of Yin Yang skills.

Taibu can't use mind-disturbing spells to deal with assassins, he can only burn lightning and assassin hard steel, but this kind of attack method is difficult to penetrate Haoran Zhengqi.

Sure enough, the assassin crawled out of the trap, but he didn't dare to fight any more after being seriously injured. Instead of continuing to attack the prince, he went to the main gate of the East Palace instead.

Xu Zhiqiong chased to the main gate, and saw the assassin standing motionless in the corridor under the gate.

Could it be that there is a magic circle in the corridor?

Let Xu Zhiqing guess right, there is a magic circle hidden here, which was left in advance by the assassin in order to escape.

Xu Zhiqiong smiled.

Let me see where you are going to escape this time!
As long as the assassin moves the magic circle, it will fall into Taibu's hands. Taibu doesn't have many ways to deal with him, but there are ten thousand ways to deal with the magic circle.

According to Xu Zhiqiong's positioning, Tai Bu immediately sensed the existence of the magic circle, and instantly changed the transmission direction of the magic circle.

The assassin was supposed to use the magic circle to escape outside the palace, but unexpectedly returned to the back garden of the East Palace.

And the exit of the magic circle is in a very deadly position - between two rockeries.

There is a trap by Zhong Can between the two rockeries, which is the same as the trap around the prince before.

This time, if the assassin falls into the trap again, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving.

Xu Zhiqiong rushed to the prince's side, and with ferocious smiles, the two saw the assassin slowly appearing between the two rockeries.

"This dog is finally dead!"

"I don't believe that the trap can break again!"

Seeing that the assassin was about to fall into the trap, Chen Shuncai rushed forward and kicked the assassin: "Bold madman, take your life!"

The assassin flew out and missed the trap.

Xu Zhiqiong and the crown prince looked at Chen Shuncai inexplicably, and saw Chen Shuncai pleading guilty to the crown prince while fighting with the assassin: "Your Highness, the old slave came a step too late, and His Highness was surprised!"

The prince shouted: "Chen Bingbi, you are really useless. Not only are you late, but you still can't catch the assassin. After a while, you are careless again and let the assassin go!"

The crown prince saw very clearly that Chen Shuncai did not come here to kill the assassin, but to save his life!
As expected, Chen Shuncai fought with the assassin more than a dozen moves, not only failed to catch the assassin, but fought with the assassin outside the East Palace.

Wait until Xu Zhiqiong chases him out to see, the assassin has escaped.

Chen Shuncai still said the same words: "The old slave is useless, he was careless..."

The prince said angrily: "Don't be careless, chase after me!"

Chen Shuncai lingered and refused to go. He couldn't chase. With his speed, it was really easy to catch up with a Confucian practitioner. He couldn't find a reason why he couldn't catch up, so he didn't chase at all.

"His Royal Highness's safety is the most important thing. I don't know if the assassin has gone far, so I dare not leave rashly..."

You don't chase, I chase!

Xu Zhiqiong chased after the assassin's blood, he didn't dare to chase too closely, even if a third-rank Confucian was injured, it would be more than enough to deal with a sixth-rank Confucian.

Although the Confucianist didn't run fast, the journey was very smooth. He didn't meet the patrols of the imperial army, nor did he meet the servants in the palace. Along the way, he only met a few guards, all of whom were easily knocked down by him.

Don't say he was lucky, Xu Zhiqiong felt that this had nothing to do with luck at all.

This fellow was sent by the emperor!
He has been to the East Palace three times in total, the first time Xu Zhiqiong was not present, and the prince escaped by luck.

The second time Xu Zhiqiong was present, he sent the prince to the ice cellar for protection.

The third time Xu Zhiqiong let Zhong Shen set a trap to catch him, and he was rescued by Chen Shuncai again!
Why did the emperor send such a poor assassin to kill the prince?

Not only did things not get done, but also left a lot of hands?
If he guessed correctly, this guy ran out of the palace, and will find a place to stay temporarily, and return to the palace to return to his life after heals up from his injuries.

Xu Zhiqiong quietly followed behind, as long as he found out where this guy lived, he would call Tai Bu to arrest him tonight!

Although Confucianism says to restrain yin and yang, this guy was injured, and Tai Bu has many subordinates, so even he couldn't escape.

Xu Zhiqiong chased for a few blocks and found that something was wrong, the assassin was running towards the Prince Huai's Mansion.

If he belonged to King Huai, all of Xu Zhiqiong's inferences would be wrong.

What exactly is going on?

Xu Zhiqiong distanced himself from the assassin, followed another street, and suddenly found a man in black trailing behind the assassin.

The man in black was also a strong man, Xu Zhiqiong couldn't see his cultivation and crimes.

Fortunately, this strong man focused all his attention on the assassin, he didn't find Xu Zhiqiong, and neither did the assassin.

Who is this person?

Chen Shuncai?
Impossible, if Chen Shuncai followed him, it would be impossible for me to find him.

Looking at this figure, it doesn't look like that dead eunuch...

After walking a few more streets, Xu Zhiqiong saw the assassin jumping into Prince Huai's mansion, and the man in black jumped in too.

The moment he flew over the wall, Xu Zhiqiong could clearly see the figure of the man in black.

It turned out to be the second brother.

Why is he here?

Xu Zhiqiong didn't enter Huaiwang's mansion, Huaiwang's mansion had at least two third grades, even if he turned into a mouse, the chance of death was very high.

The assassin was sent by King Huai, and was discovered by the second brother!

Something big is going to happen this time!

……

Gongsun Wen was lying in the bedroom covered in bruises. When he saw King Huai coming, he struggled to get up: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I want to kill the prince for you. I also killed that dog slave Chen Shuncai on the way. It's a pity that he was prepared in advance. The minister missed."

King Huai hurriedly supported Gongsun Wen to lie down: "Why are you so reckless, sir? You want to do something, but you don't discuss it with the widow first?"

"Your Majesty, today's opportunity is really good. If there are no two servants blocking me, I will kill the crown prince first, and then kill Chen Shuncai. If it goes well, I can kill the Hunjun. Your Majesty can inherit the rule without having to work hard!"

"Chen Shuncai saw through the identity of Mr.?"

Gongsun Wen shook his head and said: "That dog slave thought I had left the palace, he never thought that I would go back, and he didn't know that I have a cultivation base, so he certainly wouldn't suspect me of this matter,
Don't worry, Your Majesty, if you are afraid that I will implicate you, I will leave now..."

Before finishing speaking, King Huai hurriedly stopped Gongsun Wen: "Sir, let's take a good rest, sir is willing to go through fire and water for the widow, and the widow should share weal and woe with the husband!"

King Huai left Gongsun Wen's room and ordered people to investigate the movement of the palace.

If Gongsun Wen's identity had been exposed, King Huai would have to kill him to silence him. Seeing that he was seriously injured, it shouldn't be difficult to kill him.

But if Gongsun Wen's identity is not exposed, and what he said is true, it can prove that this person is loyal enough.

……

When it was ugly, it rained heavily.

Shengwei Elder Liang Jixiong, soaked all over, entered the Canglong Hall, and knelt down in front of the Canglong God Statue.

Liang Gongping and Liang Shilu rushed over one after another, and Liang Shilu asked, "But did you find out the identity of the assassin?"

Liang Jixiong looked at the two of them, and said with a dull expression: "It has been found out, he is a third-grade Confucianist."

Liang Gongping said in amazement: "When did Confucianism come out with three grades?"

Liang Jixiong said: "I don't know the origin of this person, but I know who is behind the scenes!"

Liang Shilu had a bad feeling: "Who is it?"

"Xiankang!" Liang Jixiong replied, "The third grade of Confucianism went to Xiankang's house. I didn't hear what they said, but I saw Xiankang went to visit him."

Liang Shilu shook his head again and again: "Elder Shengwei, I know you have a lot of prejudice against Xiankang, but you can't frame him for this matter!"

"Framed?" Liang Jixiong smiled, "Elder Shengde, the third-grade Confucian is still in Xiankang's residence, you can go and see it, and you will know it!"

Liang Shilu got up and said, "It's late tonight, I'll go to Xiankang's mansion tomorrow to have a look!"

Liang Jixiong said: "You have not recovered from your injury, I will go with you now!"

"Don't bother you!" Liang Shilu turned back and said, "If the matter is confirmed, I will bring Xiankang's head back to you tomorrow!"

Liang Shilu left angrily, and Liang Jixiong said angrily, "Wait until tomorrow? Waiting for him to send the assassin away? Elder Shengci, you will follow me to catch the assassin back tonight!"

Liang Gongping stopped him: "Listen to me, you can't go to this matter, you can only let Elder Shengde handle it."

Liang Jixiong shook his head and said, "You have protected me again and again, and finally led to today's bad results! What is this for?"

Liang Gongping said: "If Xiankang has made no serious mistakes, it would be a good thing for him to inherit the state!"

Liang Jixiong said angrily: "Liang Yuming practiced sorcery and usurped power, isn't that a big mistake?"

Liang Gongping said: "Perhaps Xiankang doesn't know about it."

"Now he ordered assassins to murder the prince, isn't that a big mistake?"

Liang Gongping bowed his head and said, "Chujun is not mentally complete."

Liang Jixiong grabbed Liang Gongping's clothes and said angrily, "What do you mean by that? How can you say it so contemptuously as the heir of a country?"

Liang Gongping sighed: "Elder Shengwei, the three of us will guard the Daxuan Sheji together, and we should work together as one. Let Elder Shengde handle this matter. If he can't handle it, we can take action sooner rather than later."

Liang Jixiong was puzzled: "Why must he deal with it?"

"Because..." Liang Gongping said in silence for a long time, "Xiankang is his son."

Liang Jixiong took a few steps back, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.

……

In the Department of Yin and Yang, Tai Bu fiddled with the blue lantern, trying to figure out the current situation.

He left a mark on Gongsun Wen through the yin and yang circle, and he knew where Gongsun Wen was.

"King Huai, let's see how you escape this time!"

While thinking about it, a mouth popped out from the wall: "Master, Bo Yanhuan, Grand Master of Suzaku Palace, asks to see you."

Uncle Da Zong, the lord of the first palace of Suzaku Palace?
What is he here for?

Tai Bu responded, "Please come in."

Bo Yanhuan, the patriarch of Suzaku Palace who was over seventy years old, sat in front of Tai Bu.

Tai Bu poured a cup of tea himself, and brought it to Yan Huan. He was about to exchange some pleasantries, but Yan Huan asked, "Tai Bu knows that more than [-] laborers have gone missing in the Hunting Garden in the north of the city?"

"Hunting Garden?" Tai Bu shook his head, "I haven't paid attention to the hunting garden recently."

Yan Huan said again: "It is known from the divination that something evil has appeared in the southern land?"

Tai Bu was taken aback: "Uncle Da Zong, the land in the south you mentioned is my Daxuan territory, or your Yu Xianguo territory?"

Uncle Da Zong frowned and said, "Why did Tai Bu ask such a question?"

Tai Bu laughed and said: "If it's in the territory of Daxuan, Da Zongbo should not take care of this matter; if it's in Yu Xianguo's territory, I can't let Lao Shi take care of this matter."

Tai Bu is doing Tai Chi, he doesn't want to talk about it with Yan Huan.

Uncle Da Zong shook his head and said, "Even if the world is turned upside down, I won't be able to control the matter of your proclamation of the country, but if someone wants to revive evil spirits, no matter where it happens, I will definitely control it!"
