Seeing the prisoner struggling to death, Xu Chang waved his hand, and someone dragged the corpse down. Then Xu Chang looked at Ximen Yi and said, "You are a smart man, so I don't need to say more."

Ximen Yi sighed: "King Ren drank tea and was safe and sound, but the prisoner was killed immediately. King Ren wanted to say that in this short period of time, someone had already poisoned the tea."

Xu Chang glanced at Chu Huan intentionally or unintentionally, and said calmly: "This king just wants to say that tea can be non-toxic before entering the door, but after entering the door, tea can be poisonous, and no one will notice."

"King Ren suspects that someone around me has been poisoned?" Ximen Yi asked.

Xu Chang sneered and said: "Including yourself. You said that you wanted to investigate the servants in the post house. The king recruited the person who delivered the tea as soon as the incident happened. I can assure you that he is loyal to the king." , and his wealth and life are completely in the hands of this king. Compared with you, this king trusts him more. He swears to God that he made the two cups of tea himself, and he personally delivered them to the hall. After entering the hall , present the tea to you Lord Ximen first, and then to Xu Yu, according to his memory, there was a guard by your side at that time." Looking at Chu Huan, he said, "It should be you, right?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Yes, it's me."

"I heard that you are the captain of Ximen Yi's bodyguard. Since the king of Chu is relieved to hand over Ximen Yi to you, I think your martial arts must be not bad." Xu Chang said slowly: "It was already dusk at that time, and it is said that the hall was still a little dark. , and the lamp has not been lit, with your skill, if you take the opportunity to poison, do you have the ability?"

But Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't hide it from King Ren, if I really want to poison, I really have that ability, and it was indeed a good opportunity at that time."

Xu Chang nodded and said, "He's a good man. In this way, you admit that Xu Yu was poisoned by you? It's only right and proper to kill people for their lives. Come and drag them up...!"

All the soldiers were about to step forward, but Chu Huan said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute!"

The soldiers ignored them, their spears were on their backs, and there were soldiers holding knives on their necks. Xu Chang had a serious face, but Chu Huan laughed loudly: "Xu Chang, Xu Huan Chang, thanks to the king of Chu saying that you are a hero in troubled times, now it seems that you are nothing but a false name, you are completely confused...!"

"Slow down!" Xu Chang raised his hand to stop everyone, stared at Chu Huan and said coldly, "What did you say?"

Chu Huan's thoughts changed, she straightened her chest, and said with a sneer, "You fell into someone else's trap without knowing it, and you still think you are smart here, that's all, kill if you want, I don't talk nonsense."

"Courageous." Xu Wei said coldly: "I want to know what kind of trap I fell into." After a wink, all the soldiers retracted their knives and retracted their spears.

At this time, Chu Huan was bare-handed, and Xu Chang was only a few steps away from him. If he wanted to make trouble, he was very sure to capture Xu Chang immediately, and hold Xu Chang to escape safely. The Northwest Army and the Jinling Army really took over the feud.

Chu Huan straightened his clothes and said, "King Ren's reputation spreads far and wide. The King of Chu once told us that King Ren has courage, insight and strategy. He is a rare hero in troubled times...!" Here, the voice changed: "In fact, before this, I always thought that what the King of Chu said must be true, but now it seems that meeting is not as good as being famous."

"Bold!" Fei Qing shouted sharply from the side: "How dare you be rude?"

Chu Huan sneered and said, "King Ren, why we came to Jinling this time, Ren Wang is naturally clear in his heart. To tell you the truth, although you have a great reputation, we really don't know much about Liang Guogong, and we don't even know Jinling at all. There is also a Liang Guogong."

Xu Chang didn't speak.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that even he, the king of benevolence, rose up suddenly, and not many people in the world knew about it, let alone his little-known younger brother.

"Liang Guogong went to visit the posthouse. We were a little surprised. We didn't know there was such a person at first." Chu Huan said slowly: "We met Liang Guogong for the first time. We have nothing to do with him. Why did we suddenly harm him? Clever, but not stupid, this is King Ren's domain, not to mention someone like Liang Guogong, even an ordinary Jinling general, if we really kill him, how can we leave alive? After we kill, can we still leave? Waiting leisurely in the posthouse, without making any preparations, waiting for King Ren to send someone to arrest, I wonder if King Ren really thinks we are so stupid, does this make sense?"

Xu Chang didn't change his face, he was still indifferent, just staring at Chu Huan.

"The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. There must be a purpose in doing things, and there must be a motive in harming others." Chu Huan stared into Xu Chang's eyes, meeting Xu Chang's eyes, " King Ren, I would like to ask, you may have come up with our motive for killing Liang Guogong? We came here for an alliance, why did we kill the Duke of Liang in such a frenzy?"

Xu Chang didn't speak, but Fei Qing sneered and said, "You guys know the motive."

"I don't know." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I only know that the King of Chu sent Lord Ximen here, and we followed the road as guards to discuss the alliance with King Ren. There was a war in the south of King Ren, and King Chu did not I don’t want to be an enemy of King Ren, and you and I both have needs, once we form an alliance, it will be beneficial to both parties, looking at the overall situation, we will try our best to fulfill King Chu’s orders and bring a good news back to King Chu.”

Ximen Yi finally said: "King Ren, what Li Yin said is right, if we really kill the Duke, not to mention that the alliance cannot be negotiated, even our lives will be ruined here, both public and private. It is all beneficial to us but not harmful to us, if this is the case, how can we lay a poisonous hand on the Duke?"

Xu Chang frowned, and Chu Huan said: "I also know that when the Duke left the post, he was poisoned, and it was because of the poison in the tea. We are indeed suspected, but we have absolutely no motive for killing people. Please invite King Ren to kill you." Mingchao."

Xu Chang was silent for a moment, and finally said: "According to this, Xu Yu's death has nothing to do with you?"

"I didn't say that." Chu Huan sighed, and said, "Actually, I really think that the death of Duke Guo has a lot to do with us...!" Without waiting for Xu Chang to speak, he explained Said: "I don't mean that the Duke was killed by us, I just want to say that there must be someone else who poisoned the Duke to death. Their purpose of killing the Duke is to provoke Chu The conflict between King Ren and King Ren, they killed the Duke, was directed not only at King Ren, but also at us, so we cannot say that it has nothing to do with this matter."

Xu Chang pondered for a while, and finally asked: "Then how do you explain that you didn't drink tea at that time?" When he said this, he looked at Ximen Yi.

Ximen Yi pondered for a while, and finally said: "To be honest, King Ren, we are new to your land, and we don't know much about King Ren, so we must be more careful in everything. Actually, we were on guard from the beginning, but it's not true We are worried that King Ren will attack us. After all, if King Ren wants to kill us, we will not be able to fly even if we have wings. We are just worried that someone will find out that we have come to Jinling to form an alliance with King Ren, and they will interfere with it and secretly kill us. We accidentally died in Jinling, even if King Ren did not do it, the King of Chu would still place the blame on King Ren. In this way, instead of forming an alliance, you and I will fight each other... !"

Ximen Yi's voice was low and his face was dignified. He explained why he didn't drink tea, but between the lines, he also reminded Xu Chang that once the envoy was killed, the Northwest Army would meet with him.

Chu Huan said from the side: "King Ren, the top priority is to immediately order a thorough investigation of the post house. Since the Duke was poisoned in the post house, the person who poisoned must have been in the post house before. Leave. If the king of Ren wants to kill us, our lives are worthless, and death is not a pity, but if we die in vain, causing our two armies to meet each other, then the assassins will definitely laugh when they see this. It’s a quick thing.” With a wry smile, “I’m afraid those people will still laugh at Nioh behind his back for being stupid…!”

"Bold!" Fei Qing shouted again.

Xu Chang originally had a gloomy face, but now he laughed loudly, staring at Chu Huan and said, "Your name is Li Yin?"

"Exactly."

"Li Yin, you are indeed courageous. No wonder the king of Chu sent you to guard Ximen Yi." Xu Chang's eyes showed a hint of admiration, and he raised his hand and said, "Everyone back down."

Fei Qing was startled, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders. Amidst the shouts, the surrounding soldiers retreated quickly. Xu Chang pointed to Ximen Yi and Chu Huan and said, "You two come with me!"

Chu Huan and Ximen Yi looked at each other, but Xu Chang had already walked to the side with his hands behind his back. Both of them nodded slightly and followed them. Passing through a field of flowers and plants, they saw a small pavilion in front of them, with lanterns hanging around the pavilion. , there is a pool next to the pavilion, which is elegant and beautiful. When Xu Chang entered the pavilion, Chu Huan and Chu Huan passed along the bluestone path. Under the lights, Chu Huan caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye. The eyes are obviously the reflection of the blade, and the heart knows that the surroundings seem to be quiet, but there are hidden guards in many places. Xu Chang attaches great importance to his own safety.

After entering the pavilion, Xu Chang didn't hesitate, and asked straight to the point: "Do you know who poisoned Xu Yu to death? Who has such a motive?"

Ximen Yi shook his head and said, "King Ren, we have just arrived in Jinling. After entering the post house, we haven't left the post house yet. We don't know anything about the situation here. We really don't know who will do this."

"You're wrong." Xu Wei stared at Ximen Yi and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know Jinling, as long as you know the trend of the world...!" Looking at Chu Huan, he asked, "Li Yin, what do you think it will be?" who?"

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment. In fact, he was really wondering who wanted to kill someone with a knife.

Today's situation is actually extremely dangerous. Xu Chang and Xu Yu brothers have a very good relationship. Xu Yu was killed, and Xu Chang was naturally furious. If Xu Chang was impulsive and lost his mind a little, he decided that the murderer was Ximen Yi and others. Listen Without any explanation, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if Chu Huan narrowly escaped death, the Northwest Army and the Jinling Army would have made a big feud.
