A big gamble: the dandy princess

Chapter 930
The news is that a fire broke out in Bahuang Mountain and burned for hundreds of miles. Xi Yanyue and Yun Muhan were assassinated to death in the fire.

Everyone in the world was surprised and suspicious when they heard the news.

Xiyanyue is the emperor of Xiyan Kingdom, and Yun Muhan is the husband of the southern border. Although these two have now returned to Shuntian Sheng and Shunjing Shizi's Murong, their titles have not been revoked, and their identities are still distinguished.

The fire broke out in Bahuang Mountain, but it did not burn hundreds of thousands of troops, but only two important figures died. It is conceivable that it caused a sensation in the world.

Who could kill Xi Yanyue in the joint Heavenly Holy Army of Xi Yan and Bei Qi?

And who was able to kill Yun Muhan in the barracks blocked by 20 troops in southern Xinjiang?

With this question in mind, everyone thought of Ye Qingran, the new emperor of Tiansheng in Lancheng, and his appearance in Mapoling.The million-strong army in Lancheng and Mapoling has been safe for two months.

Regarding this result, Ye Qingran didn't say anything, and Lancheng was still quiet.

Rong Jing also did not respond to this result, and Mapoling was still peaceful.

Compared with the tranquility of the two places, Xiyan and Nanjiang set off a frenzy.Not only the shocking changes in the government and the opposition in the two countries, the civil and military officials were heartbroken, but the people of the two countries also kept looking for the assassins to avenge the emperor and the husband.The armies of the two countries lost their minds and were even more panicked.

Ye Qingnuan's camp was only a few steps away from Xi Yanyue's camp. When the fire broke out in Bahuang Mountain, she hurried out of the camp and ordered people to put out the fire to stabilize the morale of the army. The fire burned in the middle of the night. The leader of the cavalry has been following her to put out the fire, but he didn't see Xi Yanyue's figure, so she immediately walked to Xi Yanyue's camp.

After she arrived at Xi Yanyue's tent, she asked Xi Yanyue's close servant who was guarding the tent, "Where is Xi Yanyue?"

"Resting!" said the waiter.

Ye Qingnuan frowned when she heard the words, and raised her voice, "We are fighting the fire, but he is resting?"

"When the fire broke out, the emperor said that Princess Ye and Emperor Beiqi were there, so he didn't get up if he was not needed. You know, the emperor has not rested these days, and he is tired. We went west to the earliest Bahuang Mountain." The servant said. .

Ye Qingnuan's face paled when he heard the words, and said to him: "Get out of the way, I'll go in and have a look."

The servant hesitated, "The emperor doesn't like to be disturbed when he is resting..."

"The fire started for no reason. I have something to discuss with him." Ye Qingnuan opened the servant, opened the curtain and walked in.

The servant wanted to stop her again, but she had already walked in, so he could only follow in immediately.

Bei Qingye and the leader of Wuyiqi also followed Ye Qingnuan into Xi Yanyue's camp.

Xi Yanyue's tent was very clean and tidy, the curtains in front of the bed were drawn down, Xi Yanyue was lying inside, she didn't seem to hear anyone coming in, and she didn't even get up.

Ye Qingnuan frowned, came to the bed with some displeasure, and lifted the curtain, "Xi Yanyue, what the hell are you..." Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped in surprise.

The servant followed Ye Qingnuan to the bed, followed the curtain she raised, saw the situation in the bed, was shocked, and shouted in disbelief, "Your Majesty!"

Bei Qingye and the leader of Wuyiqi also came to the bed, and they were all surprised when they saw the situation on the big bed.

I saw Xi Yanyue lying upright on the bed with a dagger stuck in his chest.

"It's impossible...how could it be..." The waiter stepped forward to touch Xi Yanyue's breath, just as he touched it, his hand shook suddenly, and his face was completely pale.

Ye Qingnuan also couldn't believe it, woke up, and immediately stretched out his hand to feel Xi Yanyue's breath, his face changed, and after a while, he stretched out his hand to feel his pulse again, then turned around suddenly, looked at the servant, and said sharply: "What's going on?" Son? How could he be killed?"

The waiter knelt on the ground with a "plop", panicked, "I don't even know..."

"You didn't know?" Ye Qingnuan looked at him furiously, "Didn't you keep guarding outside his door?"

"Yes, I haven't left in the next step." The servant said immediately.

"Who has come in?" Ye Qingnuan asked with raised brows.

The servant shook his head, "After the emperor returned to the tent, no one came in again."

"No one came in, how did he die? Did you kill him?" Ye Qingnuan asked him.

The servant immediately said in amazement: "Give me ten courageous subordinates, I would not dare to kill the emperor, not to mention that my subordinates would not be able to kill him in terms of martial arts." When she finished speaking, she saw that Ye Qingnuan obviously didn't believe it, and he whispered: " The subordinates are the people sent by the emperor to be beside Emperor Xiyan."

"Are you brother?" Ye Qingnuan asked in surprise.

"Yes!" The servant immediately took out a token representing his identity from his arms and handed it to Ye Qingnuan, "This is proof."

Ye Qingnuan took the token and glanced at it, with a pale face, returned the token to him, and said to him: "Get up! Since you are the person who used to guard the inside of my brother, I should trust it."

The servant immediately stood up.

Ye Qingnuan turned around and looked at Xi Yanyue, he was lying on the bed without a sound, his hands and feet were already cold, apparently dead for a long time.She knows medical skills, and reasoning from time, she thinks that he lost his pulse shortly after the fire in Bahuang Mountain.The dagger was fatal, but Xi Yanyue's face was not frightened, she seemed to be asleep, if it wasn't for someone she knew who did it, or the person who killed him was extremely skilled in martial arts, escaped the guards outside, and left him without a trace. Chajue was killed.She pursed her lips, turned to look at Bei Qingye and the leader of Wuyiqi, "What do you think?"

Bei Qingye still couldn't believe it, "Since no one has left this camp, Emperor Xiyan has not gone out, and no one has come in, how could he be killed?" He looked at the servant and asked, "Are you sure?" Did you doze off or leave?"

The servant immediately shook his head, "There is absolutely no subordinate! There are not only one subordinate who is guarding this tent outside, there are hundreds of soldiers, and this subordinate did not leave a single step. What's more, there is such a fire outside, how can this subordinate doze off?"

"Then this is strange!" Bei Qingye said.

"When was the last time you saw Emperor Xiyan's face?" asked the leader of the Wuyiqi.

"Yesterday night, when I came back from discussing matters with the princess in the meeting tent." The servant said, "When the fire was on fire, the subordinate woke up the emperor outside, and the emperor gave an order, saying that there was a princess and the emperor Bei Qi, and the subordinate did not bother again. he."

The leader of Wuyiqi looked at Ye Qingnuan, "Princess, this matter is too strange. This fire and the death of Emperor Xiyan are really incredible."

"It must be a member of our army." Ye Qingnuan said with certainty.

The leader of the black cavalry nodded, "That's right, no matter how chaotic it was when the fire broke out, it is impossible for someone to take advantage of the chaos and join the army to kill Xiyanhuang. Someone must have ambushed in the army earlier, maybe someone the Xiyanhuang knew. "

With gloomy eyes, Ye Qingnuan ordered to the leader of the black cavalry, "Now give orders to the whole army, and I will check all the soldiers one by one."

"Yes!" The leader of the black cavalry walked out.

Bei Qingye looked at Ye Qingnuan, "There are 30 troops in the army, if we check one by one..."

"No matter how difficult it is, we must find the murderer!" Ye Qingnuan said coldly: "Xi Yanyue's killing is a big deal, and it is also a big deal for someone to get involved in our army. It's only been a few hours now, and our army's perimeter is tight. It is impossible for the person who killed him to leave quietly, and he must still be in the army now."

Bei Qingye nodded, looked at Xi Yanyue, "Then Emperor Xiyan..."

"Get some ice and put him on ice." Ye Qingnuan ordered the servant, "I will deal with his funeral after I receive a letter from my brother."

"Yes!" The servant bowed his head immediately.

After Ye Qingnuan gave her orders, she turned around and looked at Xi Yanyue for a while, then waved down the curtain, turned and walked out.

Bei Qingye glanced at the falling curtain, then followed her.

As soon as Ye Qingnuan came out of Xiyanyue's camp, she saw a group of Xiyan government officials who followed Xiyanyue and the army swarmed in.Dozens of people surrounded her, asking her in disbelief with horrified and pained faces.

Ye Qingnuan was upset, but she explained patiently, and then led people into Xi Yanyue's camp.

Naturally, she has to rely on these people to stabilize the morale of the army, otherwise, if the Xiyan army is in chaos after Xiyanyue's death, the morale of the army will be scattered, and the consequences may be unpredictable, which will be detrimental to the war.

When the generals in Xiyan saw Xiyanyue's death with their own eyes, they burst into tears. They all said that men don't cry lightly, but it is only natural for the ministers to cry for the emperor.

Ye Qingnuan listened to the sound of crying, so she could only stand aside.

General Xiyan cried for a while, then gradually stopped crying, stood up one by one, and questioned Ye Qingnuan.They didn't believe that the emperor was killed silently in the army.Especially his tent is only a few steps away from Ye Qingnuan's tent.Why was he killed when others didn't die?And die quietly?

Ye Qingnuan explained the cause and effect again, and this answer could not convince the generals.

Some people even questioned her, did she kill Xi Yanyue?Because of the relationship between Emperor Xiyan and Concubine Jing Shizi, they had heard about the fact that the princess questioned Emperor Xiyan's collusion with the enemy and betrayed information after losing the last battle.

Ye Qingnuan said calmly: "Emperor Xiyan is someone my brother trusts, even if I question him, I will not kill him like this."

"Did the Heavenly Sacred Emperor order you to kill the emperor? Because in this army, the emperor's martial arts skills are beyond the reach of the princess." Another general questioned loudly.

Ye Qingnuan's face turned cold, "Brother does not doubt the employment of people, but does not use suspicion. If he kills someone, he will definitely give a reason. How could he kill him at such a critical moment in the war and dig his own grave? Or assassinate him silently?" ?”

"That's not necessarily true. Who doesn't know that there are hidden guards behind the Tiansheng Royal Family who secretly assassinate and monitor officials?" Another person said loudly, "There are thousands of Ye clan hidden guards in this army, don't be us It's blind."

Ye Qingnuan was furious when she heard the words, she raised her hand and wanted to slap the person who spoke, but she tried her best to restrain herself and didn't continue to hit. If she continued to hit, no matter whether she killed Xi Yanyue or not, she would be so angry that she couldn't believe it The generals of Xiyan who were killed by Xiyanyue.She clenched her fists and said in a sharp voice: "The Emperor Xiyan and his elder brother had a shallow conversation, and they formed a covenant a few years ago. He once received the grace of his elder brother to save his life, and brought the whole country of Xiyan to submit to the Holy Spirit, and he also did a lot for his elder brother." How could my elder brother kill him? How could he betray me? I suspected that day, but it was just a little test of An Xin, a woman's benevolence. Emperor Xiyan never took it to heart."

"Then my emperor is dead now, how can I explain it?" the general asked loudly, but his tone was not so sharp.

"I'm about to rectify the investigation of everyone in the barracks." Ye Qingnuan softened her tone, "I am also shocked and deeply saddened by the death of Emperor Xiyan, and I believe everyone is the same. Then we might as well go and investigate the soldiers one by one. I don't believe it. There are clues. According to my guess, the killer must be in this army."

"Okay!" All the generals agreed in unison.

Ye Qingnuan left Xiyanyue's camp for the second time, and dozens of generals from Xiyan followed behind her.

Outside the camp, Ye Qingnuan ordered, "Gather all the members of the three armies, take out the roster, and she counts the soldiers one by one. No one is allowed to be absent for any reason."

A servant immediately went down to give an order.

All the soldiers in the barracks were extremely exhausted after saving the fire in the middle of the night, but now that they received the news that Emperor Xiyan had been killed, they were all shocked and unbelievable.After receiving the order, they knew that the princess was going to investigate the murderer. Naturally, no one dared to delay such an important event, and they all gathered in a hurry.
