Chapter 796 Kill them

"We'll continue to stay in Prince Yan's Mansion."

They just knew that King Yan was recruiting troops, but they could not say that King Yan was rebellious. The evidence was not enough.

It is necessary to find out how many troops King Yan has raised. If it is not much more, it cannot be said that he wants to raise troops to rebel.

The next day, the two went out of the house to Tian's shop, where Gu Qingjue and the others were waiting. Su Yixin told Gu Qingjue the information collected and asked him to find out how many troops King Yan had collected and where they were placed.

After finishing speaking, he asked Xinlan and Xiyun about their situation.

Luo Wushang said: "I will lock the two of them in the newly rented house and let them go back after you two leave Prince Yan's Mansion."

Sanqi has been looking for a suitable house since she came to Yanzhou. After Su Yixin and her two people set out yesterday, Gu Qingjue and the others moved from the inn to a newly rented house. This house is very close to Prince Yan's Mansion and is very inconspicuous from the front entrance.

After coming out of Tian's shop, everyone got busy.

Gu Qingjue and Luo Wushang immediately went to the Yanzhou garrison to investigate, but found nothing unusual.

Either the number of soldiers recruited this time was not large, and King Yan was doing his duty by keeping an eye on it personally; or the soldiers recruited this time were not placed in the garrison, but were hidden by King Yan.

Whether it is or not, you will find out after you check it out.

The land of Yanzhou is vast and there are not many places to hide troops. Gu Qingjue, Luo Wushang and Hei He worked separately to explore the four areas of Yanzhou, but they found nothing in the past few days.

Seeing that the first day of the lunar month arrived, several people temporarily returned to Xuanyin Sect. After the first day of the lunar month, they returned to Yanzhou on the third day of the first lunar month. At this time, King Yan was still walking around with various officials in Yanzhou as usual.

King Yan is very cautious. He stays at his residence on weekdays. Even when he goes on inspections, he is always protected by cultivators with extremely high spiritual power. However, I don’t know if his eldest grandson is engaged, and he is very happy. This time he went to Peng Changshi’s house in person. middle.

Peng Changshi was flattered.

For so many years, King Yan has never been to any of his subordinates' homes in person. Now that King Yan is here, does it mean that in his heart, he is the person he trusts most?

In order to show his importance, Peng Changshi invited Prince Yan into his study and told Prince Yan the news he had received: "Your Majesty, I have a relative in Kyoto. He sent me a letter yesterday."

Peng Changshi took out a box from the bookshelf on the side. The box was locked. He opened the lock and took out an envelope without any writing.

This should be brought by an acquaintance, not sent from the inn.

King Yan took the letter and opened it without any pause. For a moment, King Yan's pupils shrank and he looked at Peng Changshi: "But is it true?"

"Your Majesty, my relative has been living in Kyoto, so there should be no problem." Peng Changshi said: "The best thing about this Bohai Prince is to deal with the enemy quietly. Why was Jia Xian suddenly arrested when he went to Guangdong and Guangxi? Even if Guo Zheji explains, Jia Xian cannot be caught so early. The only possibility is that Gu Qingjue knew in advance that Jia Xian would go to Guangdong and Guangxi and waited."

King Yan put the letter on the table: "I also have your doubts, but this murder case was tried by Li Jizhi and others. After Guo Zhongji was imprisoned, he did not testify against me. How can he be related to Gu Qingjue?"

"Gu Qingjue is a man of so much wisdom that he almost demonizes. Together with his wife Princess Ruian, the two of them went to Xixia to avenge Zeng Shengji and find the treasures of the previous dynasty for the imperial court. No matter which task was easy, he did it. Who knows that he was not involved in Zhao Yongquan's death? Didn't Guo Zhongji say that when Zhao Yongquan died, Gu Qingjue and Princess Ruian were having a drink next door."

"Every time Gu Qingjue goes out to Beijing, shocking news will happen after he returns. This time, there are also rumors in Kyoto. It is said that he accompanied his wife to go back to his father-in-law's house for the New Year. Is it another excuse? In fact, he has already come to Yanzhou?"

Zhao Zongxing took a deep breath and said to Peng Changshi: "It's not impossible. You should quickly go to each city gate to investigate the records of entry into the city in the past half month." If they really come, with Princess Ruian's ability, where else will they need to start from? Entering through the city gate, even if you enter through the city gate, must have concealed your identity. You may not be able to get any clues by checking the city entry records.

But now we have no clues, so we can only start from these places.

After Peng Changshi returned to the palace, King Yan sent people out one after another to investigate the occupancy records of all inns in the city as well as the residences rented or sold in the city within a short period of time.

King Yan's movements were immediately noticed by Su Yixin.

Zhao Zongxing is still very smart. He personally ordered an investigation, and it won't take long to find the house they rented.

Su Yixin was about to risk using her spiritual power to notify Luo Wushang when she suddenly felt a surging spiritual power rushing toward her. Mixed with this spiritual power was a strong murderous aura.

Su Yixin took a closer look and saw a man in his early forties, wearing a dark purple gown. He was holding a Ruyi fan in his hand, and there was an icy blue aura surrounding the fan.

This man is a water spirit root!
He crossed his hands on his chest, then suddenly exerted force, waved his fan, and shot countless ice-blue ice blades at Su Yixin.

Su Yixin immediately called out the glazed mirror and kneaded it between her fingers. The glazed mirror suddenly grew in size and blocked several ice knives. The ice knives dissipated into spiritual power, regrouped and transformed into an ice dragon again, flexibly trapping Su Yixin in the middle.

The man fell from mid-air and looked at Su Yixin with raised lips: "Yesterday, the spiritual power in the mansion fluctuated. I thought it was an illusion. I never thought that someone who was not afraid of death would dare to break in."

This person calls himself this king, and his cultivation level should be in the combined stage and the Mahayana stage.

The person he fought against just now was definitely not as strong in spiritual power as his uncles, and he was more powerful than Gao Ge and the others. Su Yixin judged that this person's cultivation level should be between the peak of integration and the early stage of Mahayana.

Just as Su Yixin was about to speak, Qin Lian came over from Concubine Gao and said, "Yixin, I'm here."

Seeing that Su Yixin was at a disadvantage, Qinlian didn't care whether she would reveal her identity as a spiritual creature, so she attacked with all her strength, but it only managed to force the man back a few steps.

The one who arrived with Qin Lian was King Yan.

King Yan looked at Su Yixin and Qin Lian with his sharp eyes, then his eyes fell on the man and said coldly: "Your Majesty, kill them."

Thinking of Peng Changshi's words, Zhao Zongxing felt that the two people who transformed into the maids in the palace must have been sent by Gu Qingjue to find out what was going on in the palace, and they could not be allowed to leave the palace alive.

Zhao Zongxing didn't know that Princess Ruian was among these two people.

If he knew, he wouldn't just let the man kill her. Didn't it mean that Gu Qingjue loved his wife as much as her life, and so far he only lived with her alone.

He really wanted to see if Gu Qingjue would agree to his request for Su Yixin.

It was precisely because he knew that Gu Qingjue loved his wife dearly and would not let her take risks that Zhao Zongxing did not suspect that Princess Ruian was among the two.

"it is good."

The man looked at Su Yixin and Qin Lian with greed in his eyes.
