Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 229 Seven Souvenirs and Nine Cauldrons
  "..." Chen He noticed Gu Xun's gaze, and paused with his hand, which was still concentrating on cutting the medicine. After a moment of silence, he took the initiative and said, "I don't know about this matter. It should have nothing to do with the clan."

"Oh...Brother Chen's family is also involved in this matter?" Han Fei became curious upon hearing this. He still didn't know the details about Chen He's background, he just made some guesses.

Chen He glanced at Han Fei coldly - it's not that he didn't like Han Fei, he looked at all rookies like this - and asked:
  "Do you know the number of attackers?"

"Uh... nearly twenty people, nine of them died." Han Fei was stunned, not understanding why the number was important, but he still answered honestly.

"That really has nothing to do with my clan." Chen He did not explain, but just gave a conclusion.

Chen He did not receive any information about Bai Yifei's attack.

However, there are only twelve Jixiawei in Xinzheng. Among Qi's forces here, only the twelve of them can cause trouble to Bai Yifei. According to regulations, Jixiawei will never join forces with other people. Since If the number of people doesn't match, then it's definitely not your own fault.

Han Fei was confused and confused by Chen He's confused conclusion, but Chen He's words were not originally meant for him, so it would be fine if Gu Xun could understand.

"Well, since Chen He said so, congratulations to Han Fei, you can eliminate a wrong option." Of course, Gu Xun didn't understand the reason why Chen He came to the conclusion, but he understood that the Qi royal family had nothing to do with this matter. enough.

"Haha." Han Fei laughed dryly and asked tentatively, "If it's convenient, you two would best tell me which wrong option was eliminated..."

Gu Xun said nothing and looked at Chen He, letting him decide how to answer.

Chen He, on the other hand, was naturally fearless and didn't care, "Qi State."

Getting a solid answer was not a surprise to Han Fei, but it was finally something to gain.

"Brother Gu, can you tell me by the way, what are the remaining options?" He approached Gu Xun with a face and asked as if to make a joke.

"Sorry, I don't know either." Gu Xun shook his head and made a helpless expression, "There are a bunch of messy people coming to Xinzheng City these days. The forces behind them all have the ability to deal with Bai Yifei. I How do you know who did it?"

"No, why are you so anxious to find out this?" Gu Xun asked.

Han Fei gave a wry smile and sighed helplessly, "My father is very annoyed when important ministers are assassinated one after another, and naturally the burden falls on me, the Sikou."

"Then you should investigate slowly. If you have the strength to deal with Bai Yifei's forces, it is difficult to investigate. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"But I'm eager to eat now!" The bitter smile on Han Fei's face became even stronger.

Wei Zhuang added the disturbing content for him:

"Han Wangan ordered him to solve the case within a deadline. There are only seven days. Once the time is up, if Han Fei cannot close the case, he will bear all the blame."

"And this time, I guess we can't repeat the same tricks as Liu Yi's case to fool people again." Han Fei added himself.

"Um...poof...haha." Gu Xun couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

"Hey! Brother Gu, don't you think it's a big deal to watch the excitement?" Han Fei turned his face and glanced at Gu Xun resentfully.

"Sorry, I couldn't hold it back. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"You..." Han Fei couldn't speak in the middle of his words, and he didn't bother to think about it.

"What kind of magical habit does your father have of using you, his own son, to protect him from thunder whenever something happens?" Gu Xun, barely suppressing his smile, asked in a normal tone as much as possible, but it was still very teasing. Han Fei sighed and said helplessly:
  "My father has no choice. Ji Wuye and Zhang Xiangguo are both impatient. It is unrealistic to force these two people to solve the case within a time limit, so I, the chief criminal, have to do it."

"Then did you go to the scene?"

"I've been there. I just came back from the Marquis' Mansion."

Then, Han Fei recounted what they had gained in the Hou Mansion.

"You're basically getting nothing!" Gu Xun kindly summed it up for him, "There's nothing except being sure that the person doing it is a powerful behemoth."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Bai Yifei's people have basically cleaned everything up. Not to mention that such a professional killer may not leave valuable enough traces. Even if he does, it won't be my turn."

"It feels like Bai Yifei doesn't want me to solve the case."

"Nonsense!" Gu Xun rolled his eyes upwards and said angrily, "No one in the night wants you to solve the case."

"No, no, no..." Han Fei shook his head and emphasized the key points, "I mean, he doesn't want anyone to investigate this case. Whether it's me or not, it seems that the hidden secret behind it is a must for him. A secret to keep.”

"Brother Wei Zhuang told me before that you should know why...so Brother Gu, what do you say?"

Gu Xun thought for a while and decided to talk to Han Fei openly, so that he could know whether he knew the secret of Canglong Qisu held by Han Fei.

"Normally speaking, since Bai Yifei is one of the four evil generals in the night, the forces from other countries will not take action against him."

"Night is only domineering in South Korea, covering the sky with one hand. Outside, there are still many people who never provoke the enemy. Therefore, for all the forces in the world, dealing with Bai Yifei is not worth it."

"But now they still take action against Bai Yifei." Han Fei interjected.

"Yes, because there is enough reason now." Gu Xun nodded.

"And this reason cannot be seen in the light. Even Bai Yifei couldn't let Ji Wuye and other people in the night know. So after the attack, he did not immediately notify Ji Wuye to search the whole city to hunt down the attacker. Instead, he spent a lot of time Time to cover up his secret."

Han Fei made a guess based on the existing intelligence - this was a guess he had made before, but the only puzzle was yet to be figured out, that is, what was the reason?
  "The reason is Canglong Qisu." Gu Xun said the answer.

Han Fei's eyes narrowed slightly, but he asked with a natural smile on his face, "Brother Gu is not referring to the Seven Eastern Constellations among the Four Elephants and Twenty-Eight Constellations, right?"

"What I'm talking about is a legend, do you understand it?"

"...I know a little bit about it." Han Fei replied slowly, "I heard some related rumors when I was studying abroad in Songhai."

"Canglong Qisu, there is a secret behind it that can control the world."

"King Yu glimpsed the secrets of heaven and was inspired by the gods to divide the world into nine states. He gathered the power of ghosts and gods from all over the world to build the nine tripods and passed them down to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. It represented the majesty of the emperor and the country."

"It is said that the secret of Canglong Qisu is closely related to the lost Jiuding."

After Han Fei finished talking about these so-called rumors in a deep voice, his expression returned to his usual relaxed look, "But I don't really believe in such illusory rumors, let alone that the general trend of the world will be influenced by a legend."
